This is gb news across morning. This is gb news across the uk on tv in your car, on Digital Radio and on your Smart Speaker by saying play gb news now lets get back to. Patrick now lets get back to. Patrick there must be something in the air at the moment. The government here is about to slash the number of Migrant Hotels, and Emmanuel Macron is apparently happy to break International Human rights law and robert and deport people. Robert jenrick the immigration minister, has that minister, has said that the government migrant government will close 50 Migrant Hotels and channel migrants will be shared rooms at motels be put in shared rooms at motels instead. Well, lets just deal with facts here first, okay . At the end of june 2023, there were 50,546 Asylum Seekers living in hotels in the uk. This is a 10 increase compared with the end of 2022, when there were 45,775 of 2022, when there were 45,775 of them in march 2023. Government sources told the bbc there were 395 hotels being used for this purpose. The majority for this purpose. The majority of them, 363, were in england , of them, 363, were in england, 20in northern ireland, ten in scotland and two in wales. Between april 2022 and march 20th, 23, the government spent. 20th, 23, the government spent. About £2. 3 billion on hotel accommodation. But now, as of accommodation. But now, as of today they channel migrant crossings are down. 30, believe it or not. So well done for getting the numbers down. Thats a result. And rishi deserves a lot of credit. So does the weather and the wind direction, though. But well done, rishi. But heres the problems that are coming down the road. So my sources tell me that hotels were offered a full refurbishment after being used as Migrant Hotels. So how much is that going to cost us . We have local councils spending tens of millions of pounds on new accommodation, specifically for channel migrants, afghan refugees ukrainians. So refugees and ukrainians. So simply cutting back the use of Migrant Hotels does nothing to prevent the problem that is staring us right in the face. Massive of monstrous levels of channel migrant homelessness within the next few years , they within the next few years, they will be granted asylum and then told that theyve got 28 days or so to find accommodation and we dont have anywhere for them. So dont have anywhere for them. So they end up on the streets. They will end up on the streets. Thatis they will end up on the streets. That is to happen as it that is going to happen as it currently stands. The saviour in all of this, however, could be remarkably Emmanuel Macron. He is reported considering ignoring the echr and getting people deported. Now apparently foreigners served with deportation notices will be held in detention centres for up to 18 months. People who have a criminal record or who are on an Intelligence Watch list will be biffed as well. The French Interior minister is also eyeing plans to make it easier to remove asylum claimants who fail to obtain refugee status. Hes to obtain refugee status. Hes also looking at refusing residency permits for individuals who are unable to speak french and those who support radical islam. Great support radical islam. Great stuff. If france gets seriously tough on illegal immigration, then it deters people from coming to france, which deters them. Then from coming to britain. If france ignores the britain. If france ignores the echr and deports people, then that means that will be more likely to do the same thing. Wont say this is a win win. It is, of course a total admittance, though, that people who wanted stronger borders were actually all along and actually right all along and a group of overly idealistic , group of overly idealistic, naive, sopping wet liberal idiots made decisions that essentially ruined a continent while demonising ordinary patriotic people. Well, at least patriotic people. Well, at least they appear to be coming to their senses now. Gb views their senses now. Gb views gbnews. Com. Get them coming in thick and fast. I want to hear from you on this very issue. Do you think that the rowing back of Migrant Hotels is a good thing . They are supposedly in areas where the tories are worried they might lose those seats to labour. Unfortunately for theyre doing for them theyre not doing that everywhere i everywhere because that is, i think where they are likely to lose labour. Lets lose seats to labour. But lets speak to our political speak now to our Political Correspondent olivia utley olivia. Very correspondent olivia utley olivia. So very correspondent olivia utley olivia. So it very correspondent olivia utley olivia. So it looks very correspondent olivia utley olivia. So it looks though it much. So it looks as though it looks as though were going to see a reduction in Migrant Hotels. Me would hotels. The cynic in me would say this is a cheap say that this is a cheap political move that they could easily on after easily row back on after the next election. , this is a sort of well, this is a sort of glimmer of hope from the government and it is good news for them, as you said in your introduction there, the number of channel migrants crossing has actually decreased by 30 over this year. And thats why the government, over the next six months, plans to close those 100 hotels for migrant use. Hotels for migrant use. Obviously, as you say, its not all good news. There are 400 hotels currently being used for migrants housing. 50,000 migrants housing. 50,000 migrants are closing. 100 of migrants are closing. 100 of them is a start. But its kind of baby steps. The government of baby steps. The government also has implemented a policy that it proposed earlier in the year to force migrants to share bedrooms, Hotel Bedrooms with each other, which is another reason why they have actually cut down the number of rooms that theyre using and are able to close some these rooms as to close some of these rooms as you say, it is a little bit cynical. The government refuses to give list of the actual to give a list of the actual hotels, which its closing down on. But a couple of them, one of them is in stoke, which theyre talking about, which is a real an area. There is a there is a seat in stoke, which is a conservative seat, is conservative seat, but it is a real challenger seat for labour. So it does seem a little bit as though jenrick picking though Robert Jenrick is picking the hotels quite carefully as to whether after an election they would row back on it. Well, they are moving in the right direction. The government, you know, opening these know, they are opening these alternative accommodation provisions for migrants. Weve seen the bibby stockholm, weve seen the bibby stockholm, weve seen former raf seen plenty of former raf barges. Et cetera. Using being used instead of hotels cells. So it does feel as though things are going in the right direction. Theyre also managing to more home office to employ more Home Office Caseworkers so are caseworkers, so they are cracking through backlog. Cracking through that backlog. At of the year, at the beginning of the year, the was 92,000. Now the backlog was 92,000. Its now 55,000, course , 55,000, although of course, rishi sunak said that he would get rid of the backlog altogether by the end of the yean altogether by the end of the year. Nearly at november year. Were nearly at november and only 55,000. So and its only 55,000. So essentially feels as though essentially it feels as though the conservatives in the conservatives are moving in the conservatives are moving in the with the right direction with this. But not really fast as but probably not really fast as the electorate would like. But probably not really fast as the yeah, rate would like. But probably not really fast as the yeah, exactly. Uld like. But probably not really fast as the yeah, exactly. Labour�. But probably not really fast as the yeah, exactly. Labour say yeah, exactly. Labour say that they want employ another that they want to employ another 1000 processors. Dont they . As well. But yes, i suppose it is well. But yes, i suppose it is a step in the right direction and again its almost like isnt it. It is almost like when they need to be re elected, they start doing what the public actually want. It does appear to me to be want. It does appear to me to be an admittance really, that clearly having Migrant Hotels in peoples areas are by no means ideal peoples areas are by no means ideal. And if we can get rid of those, people are more likely to vote for the party that did get rid of them. But olivia, thank you very much. Utley you very much. Olivia utley their in their Political Correspondent in westminster. Im going to bring in human in now International Human rights lawyer david haigh because problems with because i can see problems with this. Sure we all can. Every this. Im sure we all can. Every single time the government wants to to with to implement anything to do with illegal a illegal immigration, theres a human isnt there . Human rights issue, isnt there . David the upcoming david what are the upcoming human issues there human rights issues that there are presumably centres are here . Presumably it centres around would guessed, around, i would have guessed, migrants sharing rooms with each other not living other in motels and not living in star luxury places. In four star luxury places. Good, good afternoon patrick. Good, good afternoon patrick. I think the, the basic thing that the government needs to do as per International Law is provide safe housing. And ive said before many times that there is no reason in whether its a barge or a marquee or an xref base. Theres no reason that it cannot be safe. But what that it cannot be safe. But what weve seen in the past is that the current government seems incapable of providing safe accommodation. Weve seen outbreaks of diphtheria and other Communicable Diseases. Communicable diseases. Thats the problem that weve seen. So theres no reason why to do Asylum Seekers in a travelodge or a premier or two star, three star safe hotel cannot be safe. And, you know, thats something that the government could have started doing 30 teen years ago as opposed to now. So but that , i opposed to now. So but that, i think, will be the issues that youre seeing. You will see the government mismanaging this situation, rather situation, putting rather than to seekers in a room, to Asylum Seekers in a room, maybe 4 5. Youll see maybe 4 or 5. Youll see outbreaks communicable outbreaks of Communicable Diseases which will not just affect Asylum Seekers, affect the Asylum Seekers, but the areas. This the local, the local areas. This is the problem that im seeing coming and but like i said, theres no reason why it cannot be safe. Be safe. Okay. Can i just ask you a question . If somebody is granted refugee or asylum status in a country so theyve been approved, as it were , and they approved, as it were, and they get served, say, 28 days notice to get out of that hotel, which appears to be roughly what happens in some cases here. And they havent got anywhere to go. They havent got anywhere to go. So do you know if legally we can make them homeless or what has to happen there . Is there any idea . Well the obligation that patrick, the obligation when an asylum when an Asylum Seeker when we have an Asylum Seeker when we have an Asylum Seeker, its the obugafion Asylum Seeker, its the obligation on the national government. Then once somebody and then once somebody becomes has been becomes an, you know, has been granted and is in the granted asylum and is in the country obligation after a country that obligation after a short period time passes to short period of time passes to the effectively. The local councils effectively. And so thats going to be a problem of the local councils at the current. Lee, unless the legislation is changed and obviously that will then Impact Housing to other local Housing Available to other local people. And so thats going to people. And so thats going to be one of the problems. So if you speed up, obviously theres a very, very large backlog of asylum cases. If that is asylum cases. So if that is speeded up, which it needs to be because it will bring down the costs and a number of those people are granted asylum. Is there the local there the housing in the local areas house people . You know, areas to house people . You know, and certainly looking where i live down here in cornwall, there certainly isnt. Theres a shortage of housing as it is. So thats another problem that thats another problem that thats horizon. Yeah it thats on the horizon. Yeah it is another problem thats on the horizon. Absolute
