Comes after a parliamentary researcher was arrested back in march on suspicion of spying for beijing. The Prime Minister is facing calls to designate china as a National Security threat. Political commentator piers pottinger joins us in the studio now. Do you think china should be a National Security threat. 7 be a National Security threat . What would the implications be of that politically for us if rishi sunak was to make that claim . Well, i think theres no doubtin well, i think theres no doubt in my mind that china is a National Security threat already. And i dont think we need to formalise it as such. But and we do have to look at the relationship very carefully. But whats very interesting about this alleged spy situation , first of all, it beggars belief that hes on remand and has been since march. I mean, has been since march. I mean, spies, i think there was a chap called philby who wasnt there. Yeah skipped the country. I mean. You mean you mean he dont understand. Obviously i wouldnt understand. Obviously i wouldnt put him in wandsworth. Yeah, but. But you mean on bail . But you mean hes on bail . But you mean hes on bail . Hes on bail. Hes out on bail. He is. I mean, that. That he could be anywhere. To me, he could be anywhere. Absolutely. And, goodness knows what hes doing. And the newspaper who named this person . If it is this person , couldnt get hold of him person, couldnt get hold of him for comment. So goodness knows , for comment. So goodness knows, as i say, where he is. But the interesting thing is that the security for parliament and the people, the man who issues parliamentary passes is a name im sure that you know , sergeant im sure that you know, sergeant at arms. Its you. You you. Barner oyay , right. Who was barner oyay, right. Who was appointed three years ago by that wonderful speaker, john bercow. And up until then, the bercow. And up until then, the sergeant at and arms whos in charge of all parliamentary security and can actually technically make arrests without a warrant. Thats the its a a warrant. Thats the its a very old office. Yeah, yeah. But up until then it was they were major generals. Rear admirals. They were people with military or defence backgrounds. And or defence backgrounds. And suddenly this man who was an electrician, right. Is appointed electrician, right. Is appointed by bercow. And i do hope that by bercow. And i do hope that someone will. This man, by the way, when he was appointed, made a big song and dance about it, courted the press. And i do hope hell be talking about security in the house as far as he can. Because the other problem about all matters, security, particularly for national importance, people can immediately say, oh, its a matter of National Security. I cant say anything about it. So it gives the government and everyone involved a perfect excuse for saying nothing. But this is very serious. S and halfway a few months ago, the Deputy Metropolitan Police commissioner in charge of Counter Terrorism said that there were a the number of inquiries into potential spying had quadrupled. Credible or so. It is a very serious issue indeed. And china is the biggest. And i was just looking at what rishi sunak said, pierce, when he got into number 10 a year ago, china is the biggest long term threat to british and the worlds Economic Future and security. We must no longer be rolling out the red carpet. 2 or 3 weeks ago, his own foreign secretary, james cleverly, went to china, to beijing , didnt get to meet to beijing, didnt get to meet the president , but met the deputy premier effectively rolling out the red carpet to the chinese. Whats happened . The chinese. Whats happened . I do actually accept that James Cleverlys comment , which James Cleverlys comment, which was its better to talk and not. And i do think also if you have concerns, as we clearly do , its concerns, as we clearly do, its better as rishi sunak did in the 620 better as rishi sunak did in the g20 meeting face to face with the chinese to tell them what we think. And also its important think. And also its important they know that we realise whats going on, but there is no doubt china poses the biggest economic and beyond that threat, i mean particularly in taiwan , i would particularly in taiwan, i would be very nervous about living in taiwan these days because they seem and also the chinese economy is not doing as well as it was. And once the leaders in china are under any kind of domestic pressure , its when domestic pressure, its when they start looking out and start doing things that might be described as a little reckless. Described as a little reckless. So i am i am concerned about the security, but i do hope Lindsay Hoyle, the speaker , will be hoyle, the speaker, will be making a statement later today and it will be very interesting to hear what he says about parliamentary security and the issuance of passes because its surprise easy to get a pass to be in the house of commons and once youre in there, you can inveigle your way. And of course, if you had an ex military figure like we used to have before, a sergeant at arms, you, theyre more steeped in it, arent they . One would think that well, one would think that the vetting procedure for would be and would we be very thorough. And would we would more would i would be much more confident about that. I dont wish any to taint the wish in any way to taint the name of mr hoyer, but he did seem an odd choice at the time. Well, it was bercow to be modern, and its typical of john bercow to try and do Something Different just for the sake of now were hosting a major ai conference in this country in november. This is the Prime Minister trying to put us at the fore of a worldwide wide revolution and how to harness the benefits of it should china be invited. Im not sure they should. No, i dont think so. And i also think that anyone whos still got a Chinese Security camera or is using huawei technology. Yeah i mean, use your you know, i mean, wheres the common sense . Iain Duncan Smiths very sound on this and i do think that weve got to treat china almost as well. In fact, just as bad as badly as we do russia in terms of the perception and how we deal with them. But we should continue talking. Its when you stop talking, things get worse. Yes. Talking, things get worse. Yes. How do you think rishi sunak did at the g20 in india . Well, i mean, modi was his great friend. Theyre both, of great friend. Theyre both, of course, practising hindu. So if course, practising hindu. So if you saw the picture of the incredible bear hug modi gave him , theyre obviously close him, theyre obviously close friends. I personally thought it friends. I personally thought it was a very odd time to announce the £16 billion to go into the Green Climate fund when at the same time back home, hes saying we may have to cut benefits for people. Well, once again, it people. Well, once again, it seems to me that although sunak is a very intelligent man when it comes to making government announcements and explaining the rationale, they are very poor at it. But thats presumably because hes showboat getting to his other globalist friends. Thats why he chose that moment, because it renders showboating is fair. Bev i think its as important for britain still if we want to have an International Role to show some leadership and to show some some profound gestures, make make profound gestures. And this was definitely one the 1. 6 billion. I mean, modi is now the leader of the poor world, the global south, as its called, bringing the African Union into the 620 bringing the African Union into the g20 makes him an incredibly important figure. And britains traditional relations with india , while its still cold, is going to change its name, isnt it . Its going to change to barack almost certainly. And they used barack right the way through the g20 and india , of through the g20 and india, of course, comes from the word indus, the river and bharat was was a name used in 1500 bc. You see, i think my issue is just that if youre going to put that amount of money onto a Global Green Fund on the same week that were signing an energy bill here where british people signed £15,000 people could be signed £15,000 for having the type of for not having the right type of boiler, that tells me his priorities International Oil priorities are International Oil and not national. That, of course, is the well, that, of course, is the message may be unintended message may be unintended message we take from it. Message that we take from it. And thats what i mean about their communication. If he explained this properly, which he didnt know, rather than just suddenly announce it when hes a long way out of the country at the same time as talking about the same time as talking about the real cost of living is going still going to bad and still going to be bad and benefits may be cut for people. Benefits may be cut for people. I mean, you dont do those two things at the same time. Thats bafic things at the same time. Thats basic political sense. Basic political sense. Ive got to ask you about dangerous dogs. You and i are old enough to remember ken bakers dangerous dogs act. Yeah, i dont know what job he was doing. There was he tory chairman under margaret thatchers chairman under margaret thatche|wrong. Theres talk horribly wrong. Now theres talk to say on the front page of the sun the mirror to these sun and the mirror to ban these xl dogs which are xl bully dogs which are responsible death 11 responsible for the death of 11 people. If youve people. I dont know if youve seen the video, piers, in birmingham, the dog, just horrific, terrifying. These dogs shouldnt i mean, these dogs shouldnt be. If you just if be. I mean, if you just if youre listening on the radio, were showing it now. Were just showing it now. This dog attacking various people station, people at filling station, people at filling station, people with people attacking the dog with a shovel no avail. Theyre shovel to no avail. Theyre like theyre just out of control beasts. Beasts. Well, theyre trained fighting dogs and dog fighting is illegal and they shouldnt. These dogs are illegal. And the if theyre not illegal, they should. They should be. Yes. You prefer a Dandie Dinmont myself. These dogs are also responsible for killing one dog a day in july in this country. Not just attacking human beings, but killing other dogs just the way theyre built. Way theyre built. I met one in a studio recently and she tried to introduce me to it and said , introduce me to it and said, nowhere near please , nowhere nowhere near please, nowhere nean nowhere near please, nowhere near. This is the dog. She said, its the owners that are the menace. Well, maybe its the dog. Theyve got a violent streak. Streak. Yeah, well, i mean, the dogfighting, they do professionally for money. And i mean , theyre criminals. Mean, theyre criminals. Should be a simple piece it should be a simple piece of legislation, shouldnt it . But got the dangerous dog but they got the dangerous dog one wrong. You recall. Yes, they did. Yes, they did. Right , pierce, yes, they did. Right, pierce, i think we are moving thank very moving on now. Thank you very much kicking off this much for kicking us off this monday morning. Nice to see you. Let us know thoughts this let us know your thoughts this morning. As morning. Vaiews gbnews. Com. As always, it is, of course, september its 22 september the 11th. Its 22 years a plane hit the twin years since a plane hit the twin towers manhattan. Senior towers in manhattan. Senior Security Experts have told gb news large terror groups like al qaeda could al qaeda and isis could re emerge significant threats re emerge as significant threats to the uk. Weve been talking about china, course. Authorities china, of course. Authorities currently 800 live currently tracking 800 live terror investigations in our home. Security editor mark white bnngs security editor mark white brings us this exclusive investiga gation. Investiga gation. It was a brutal and shocking attack heralding a new era of International Terrorism where groups like al qaeda and then isis chose often soft targets in western cities crowded places to cause maximum carnage. But in the 22 years since nine over 11, those big organised terror groups have been severely degraded by concerted action from Coalition Armed forces and security services. Intelligence security services. Intelligence analysts say over there at m15 are constantly scanning the honzon are constantly scanning the horizon for new threats. They are out there. Al qaeda isis and associated groups are greatly diminished. These days, but they could easily re emerge. The could easily re emerge. The terror groups are now scattered around multiple countries in the middle east, africa and asia and continue to launch more localised attacks. But extremism localised attacks. But extremism experts warn they could become a potent threat to the west again as governments focus more on state threats from russia, china and iran. In. And iran. In. I think the big fear has to be that if that pressure is lifted off, things might regress. And if we look at the underlying problems that sort of led to the emergence of a group like al qaeda that led to the emergence a group isis emergence of a group like isis that to the rise of the sort that led to the rise of the sort of extreme wing as a of extreme right wing as a terrorist problem , you know, terrorist problem, you know, around the world, none of around the world, really none of those really been those problems have really been resolved. And lot of resolved. You know, and a lot of them are bubbling below them are still bubbling below them are still bubbling below the for now. The surface for now. Predominant threat is the predominant threat is from individuals, radical from lone individuals, radical realised the propaganda arms realised by the propaganda arms of and right wing of both islamist and right wing extremist groups. But with increased ungoverned spaces in a number of countries, there is real concern that those more organised groups could once again flourish. Thats what theyre really concerned about. Theyre really concerned about. Areas of afghanistan say that dont have much rule of law over them. Pockets of syria , bits of them. Pockets of syria, bits of nonh them. Pockets of syria, bits of
