17th of may. the 17th of may. >> well, in the last few moments, moroccan asylum seeker ahmed ali ali has been sentenced to a minimum term of 44 years for brutally murdering pensioner terence carney. he told police it was for the sake of palestine . why are we paying for his prison sentence and should we deport people who say they are proud of hamas .7 proud of hamas.7 >> a palestinian student claims she's had her visa revoked for doing just that. >> and the rich list is out. yes, we're not on it, unfortunately, but it's rishi sunak richer than the king who's making megabucks off the migration crisis. and could britain be home to the first 9yp5y britain be home to the first gypsy billionaire? >> i mean, hearing the sentencing remarks about this case. no sense of remorse. they made clear to say that there was no sign of mental illness, no

sign of psychosis. given this 44 year minimum sentence is it enough now? this man is not british. he was from morocco. he's an asylum seeker. is there not an argument to say, well, actually, you know, he should be deported. >> his claim wasn't even processed in this country as it stands yet. and yet he travelled through 13 other countries, i believe 13, 13 other countries in order to get nobody else wanted him. and then he goes and commits these heinous attacks, kills someone because they've converted to christianity, kills somebody because of their views on palestine, etc. it says that he would have done it much, much more if he could, if he'd have had a gun, he would have gone on the rampage, he said. and yet we are now going to be paying for this guy, conceivably in prisons for the next 44 years. >> and he he got this. he justified the attack. this is what the court heard saying. the united kingdom is liable for what's happening in palestine . what's happening in palestine. so the question is, well, why? you know, you're enjoying the freedoms that the united kingdom

gives you , why then attack a gives you, why then attack a pensioner so brutally just out of the blue? and of course, he attempted to kill his housemate to for converting to christianity. so there you go . christianity. so there you go. the question i guess we want to ask is, is a whole life order a tough enough? but more so we're going to have to pay for it. the sentence for life. should he be deported or would that be wrong? should he serve his sentence? >> or should we do with this guy? what should we do with this guy? what should we do with this guy? send us your views and comments by going to gbnews.com forward slash your essay. but now it's your headlines with severe . severe. >> patrick thank you. good afternoon. it's 12:02. i'm sophia wenzler afternoon. it's12:02. i'm sophia wenzler in the gb newsroom . breaking news now a newsroom. breaking news now a moroccan asylum seeker has been sentenced to 44 years in 52 days for murdering a pensioner in an attack motivated by the conflict in gaza. as you've been hearing, ahmed ali stabbed 70 year old terence carney, six times in

hartlepool in what was intended as revenge for the israel—hamas conflict. he told police the attack, a week after the hamas attacks on israel , was for the attacks on israel, was for the people of gaza, and he had wanted to kill more victims. ali kadi was also found guilty of the attempted murder of his housemate, who had been attacked before the fatal stabbing of mr carney . in other news, the carney. in other news, the chancellor, jeremy hunt, has declined to give a cast iron guarantee of tax cuts while insisting the tax burden would go down under a future conservative government but he warns that labour will be forced to raise taxes to pay for their spending pledges. as he reiterated his own commitment to eliminating national insurance. speaking a short while ago in london, the chancellor accused his shadow rachel reeves of resorting to playground politics with her criticism of the high levels of taxation on uk households. >> it comes to labour policies on jobs , welfare reform and tax. on jobs, welfare reform and tax. the difference if they are

elected, will be profound and damaging for every family in the country. labour, like to criticise recent tax rises, thinking people don't know what caused them. the furlough scheme, the energy price guarantee and billions of pounds in cost of living support. but labour supported those policies , labour supported those policies, which is why it is playground politics to use those tax rises to distract debate from the biggest divide in british politics today . what happens to politics today. what happens to the tax burden next? >> now southwest water says cow manure could have led to the outbreak of a parasitic disease in devon that has led to dozens of people experiencing vomiting and diarrhoea . it is thought to and diarrhoea. it is thought to damaged air valve on a pipe in a field containing cattle has been identified as the potential site of the outbreak. bottled water has been handed out to residents as people have been told to stop using tap water for drinking

without boiling it first, and schools have been forced to shut . natural sciences lecturer doctor christine dunn says it's not just the fault of water companies. >> well , it's companies. >> well, it's a very troubling development that we're hearing in devon. >> of course it is. we've taken very tough action to strengthen the powers of the regulator to allow them to hold companies to account as the chancellor has just said, we've seen significant investment as a result of privatisation. >> the only water company, in addition to the one that the chancellor referenced, that is worse is in scotland, which is not privatised. and so this is a matter of holding companies to account, making sure that they're investing in this government is focused on making sure that happens . sure that happens. >> now french police have shot dead a man who tried to set fire to a synagogue in the northwestern city of rouen . it's northwestern city of rouen. it's reported that the man was armed with a knife and an iron bar, and threw a firebomb inside the building before police shot him.

police were called at around 645 this morning after local reports of smoke seen rising from the synagogue. the mayor of rouen said the attack on the synagogue didn't just affect the jewish community, but the entire city was battered and in shock . was battered and in shock. teachers workloads are increasingly difficult as they're being forced to handle their pupils mental health and family problems . this is family problems. this is according to mps who've been critical of the government's efforts to tackle staff shortages in schools. the education select committee says that teachers are now spending more time addressing these issues, and then the shortfall outside their remit . president outside their remit. president putin has arrived in china's little moscow on the second day of his visit to the country. the russian president landed in the chinese city of harbin, where he was attending a china—russia trade fair to emphasise the strength of economic links between the countries. it comes a day after meetings between putin and chinese leader xi

jinping , where they praised jinping, where they praised their deep ties. jinping, where they praised their deep ties . and for the their deep ties. and for the latest stories, sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen or go to gb news .com/ alerts. now it's back to patrick and . to patrick and. emily. >> all right, well, as you were just hearing, the moroccan asylum seeker ahmed ali al fayed has now been sentenced to a minimum term of 44 years for brutally murdering pensioner terence carney. and also another attempted murder of his own housemate. because he converted to christianity. >> well, the details on this particular case are absolutely shocking. so he told police it was for the sake of palestine. he also said that britain was responsible for what was going on in gaza, etc. he travelled through around 13 other countries before eventually

making his way to britain. we hadnt making his way to britain. we hadn't actually processed his asylum claim yet either. and yet here we are now , still paying here we are now, still paying for him, and there's no whiff of mental health problems. by the way, this is a terror offence as well, and i just wonder how many more people like this individual are there. one thing that is interesting though , is why? why interesting though, is why? why was the call for a whole life order rejected despite it being a terrorist offence, despite there being one murder of an unarmed elderly man, seemingly at random, despite the attempted murder of somebody else, and despite the fact that he said that he would have done it more times. >> yes, i wonder that too, whether there's something about being specific and specific with the with the order that they preferred , i don't. from reading preferred, i don't. from reading what the court has heard, it doesn't seem as though they were trying to go lenient on him, does it? yeah. >> i mean, look, this guy, it will come as no surprise repeatedly shouting allahu akbar dunng repeatedly shouting allahu akbar during the attacks, jurors heard how the attack was inspired by that gaza conflict as well. this

is this is a huge concern for everybody. now, thankfully, this guy is behind bars, probably will die behind bars in the next 44 years. why are we having to pay 44 years. why are we having to pay for him is one big question, how many other people with his views have we actually managed to import as well? if we are the end of the line for a lot of europe, which we are, people travel through europe, they come across the channel or get in the back of a lorry or whatever, and then they end up in britain. so if we are the end of the line there, then i think it is not beyond the realms of possibility that we might end up being that dumping ground for people who have the deranged views like this individual and what's what's quite interesting reading what's quite interesting reading what the judge had to say, he said, this is, she said this, it's on a par with the murder of a police officer murdered in the execution of his duty. >> because these crimes go beyond the murder of an individual as they attempt to undermine or destroy foundational components of an ordered democratic country . so ordered democratic country. so this is a religious and politically motivated murder . politically motivated murder. and the judge has made that

clear. >> i'm just going to read a quick statement from the family of mr terence carney, because i think that's important in all of this, actually, he says, they say we would like to thank everyone involved in the investigation. we'd also like to thank the prosecution team. we're extremely grateful to our family. we would not want anyone else to have to go through what we have had to go through over the last six months, and what we will continue to go through for the rest of our lives, yeah. so there we go. and, they've watched they've watched the trial throughout as well. >> absolutely horrific. absolutely. we're going to be outside the court with our reporter very shortly. she's been, she's been listening to all the detail of the sentencing remarks. so we'll get to her very quickly. but, to some domestic politics. yes indeed. >> so the labour party has launched its six election pledges, promising a determination to begin a decade of national renewal. >> yes. so this includes commitments to, among other things , border control, things, border control, education, the economy cracking down on antisocial behaviour. >> but what do gb news viewers think? well, according to a new poll. so here we go, including a selection of gb news viewers.

only 5% of you had a great deal of trust that starmer would deliver his six pledges. 27% of you suggested that they had a fair amount of trust , and 49% of fair amount of trust, and 49% of you said that they had no trust at all in labour's ability to deliver. >> gosh. well, and on sex education, of course, this has been a topic in the news this week with this new guidance coming out, 47% of the public are in support of the newly announced guidance that children under nine should not be taught it, compared to 25% who oppose the guidance . interesting. the guidance. interesting. >> yeah. i mean, that is quite remarkable, actually, when you think about it. i'm quite surprised that there are that many people in the country who think that children under the age of nine should be taught sex education from someone called sandra in the geography department. but there we go. and when sandra and geography, sandra in the geography department and when asked when asked whether the uk should introduce a new scheme to take introduce a new scheme to take in refugees from palestine, 29% supported the idea, 42% opposed it. >> and again, lots of don't

knows, lots of people who have absolutely no opinion on something as important as as that idea . well, joining us now that idea. well, joining us now from downing street is gb news political editor , christopher political editor, christopher hope, christopher, this poll shows that, people may be planning to for vote labour, but they don't actually trust the leader. >> or they're not enthused by it. hi, emily. hi, patrick. yeah, they're responding to this document here. my first steps, unveiled yesterday by the labour leader in purfleet, essex, in sight of the dartford crossing . sight of the dartford crossing. i was struck, really, by the lack of ambition in this document. the lack of sunny uplands. i'm old enough to remember , tony blair when he was remember, tony blair when he was marching to power in 1996, 97, the palpable feeling of excitement about the labor party replacing a party, being in charge, the tory party being in charge, the tory party being in charge in government for the past 18 years. that didn't happen there. and i think that might be why we're seeing such a

kind of anaemic response from gb news viewers. point three of course, that keir starmer unveiled yesterday is launch a new border security command . so new border security command. so launch another government body. the tories rishi sunak behind me in downing street. he wants to stop the boats. right. so he is looking at the actual results of what they want to do, rather than another kind of body that may or may not work. and i think that's the problem. i think the idea of this ming vase, this they're trying to labour, trying to protect their 20 point polling lead, which that polling does confirm, by the way, the tories on 20 points, labour on 47 points. they're 27 points ahead. and yet there's a lack of enthusiasm for what labour want to do in government. and that is a problem for labour. but of course the bigger problem for the tory party is they are miles behind in the polls, the polls, chris, i was watching with real enthusiasm the amount of interactions that you were having with really senior members of the labour party yesterday. >> i thought it was great stuff and thank you very much for bringing that to us and our viewers. but well, you know, you looked starmer in the whites of

his eyes as he delivered his, his eyes as he delivered his, his six pledges. yeah. what do you see there. do you see a bloke who's maybe a bit nervous ? bloke who's maybe a bit nervous? do you see a bloke who's composed and in complete control 7 composed and in complete control ? what do you actually see, chris? >> yeah. thanks, patrick. i'm privileged to work for gb news and to meet these people head on and to meet these people head on and try and ask them the questions that are, i think our viewers and you, patrick and emily, want to hear about. i think it's always hard to judge someone. i was interviewing number six when i interviewed him last night for gb news. you know, i mean, it's hard enough just asking one lot of questions, but six of them. so putting that to one side, i think he seemed someone who is cautious, who is trying to make this work for his party, the question i put to him, i thought was a difficult one for him to answer was he was someone who backed jeremy corbyn in 2019 and then natalie elphicke, the right wing tory mp in 2024 when she defected. what do you believe in? and that's the question. i think many people, maybe many of our viewers, want to know what do you believe in, what are you

what have you got in store? and this was rather lacking in a lot of detail. i think, which viewers and listeners to this station want to hear more about. but i think it was very, very it was an election rally. it was felt very, very slick. emily. and i think it was quite impressive, a very unlike the jeremy corbyn offering in 2019, sleeves up, ready to get on with it. >> man of the people, chris. rishi sunak. our prime minister, is he richer than our monarch ? is he richer than our monarch? >> the answer to that, the answer to that . the answer to answer to that. the answer to thatis answer to that. the answer to that is yes. he is richer or him and his wife, akshata murty, are now richer than the king here are the numbers, the king is worth £610 million. akshata murty rishi sunak together are worth £651 million, £6,151 million, according to this weekend's sunday times rich list. that's worth more than the beatle. paul mccartney , of beatle. paul mccartney, of course, some on the some critics

are saying, well, how can he possibly feel the pinch of the cost of living crisis? those tax cuts which the tory party wants to bring in, it won't affect him at all. the government is saying this in this lobby meeting i've been at in number 10 downing street that the judge him the sunak by his actions and the actions he's taken to support people. they're saying, forget the private wealth, that's jealousy. politics. look at what he's doing. look at how he's trying to deliver for britain . trying to deliver for britain. >> yeah, and i believe that it's coming on on the day we're expecting jeremy hunt to be issuing some kind of tax cuts, this might actually raise serious implications about whether or not there should be a wealth tax , should it not, on wealth tax, should it not, on people. it's an easy way of people. it's an easy way of people pointing at rishi sunak , people pointing at rishi sunak, which, by the way, is not something that i particularly care. i couldn't care less how wealthy is, actually, but a lot of people, i think might say some people do and they might say, oh, well, you know, should we be taxing the wealthy more people like you? you are literally richer than the king. >> yeah. this is we're talking about assets . so the point

about assets. so the point labour's pushing or has been pushing with it's looking at, looked at a wealth tax a couple of years ago. do we tax. we tax income heavily. we tax. national insurance is a double tax on income . of course. don't forget income. of course. don't forget we tax inheritance tax as a tax on money you've saved through your earned income. but we don't tax assets for example house prices. your premier residence isn't taxed . should that be isn't taxed. should that be looked at i should explain a bit about this. this big increase in money for the rishi sunak and akshata murty. the money increase has mainly come from akshata murtys small holding in a firm called infosys, which is an indian. it company. so it's family money, it's going up, it's money which akshata murty is lucky enough to control through her, through her family in india. it's not really money earned by the pm while it's being borrowed. he's being pm. >> yeah, well, we're going to be speaking to the patriotic millionaires a little later who are a group of rich people who want more tax. so we'll see what they've got to say about rishi sunaks wealth. but thank you very much indeed. christopher

hope, our political editor. there outside downing street. good stuff. >> just pay it. you can voluntarily pay more tax. sign the check. you don't need to bang on about it. >> sign the check. yeah well, they want to change policy for everyone, don't they? anyway >> oh, god. the snitches in class aren't those people right now. okay, so as we heard, our gb news poll suggests that the majority of you would not be behind a scheme to take palestinian refugees, but what about palestinians who are already live here? >> one palestinian student has had her visa revoked, she claims, on the grounds of national security. and this follows comments . well, these follows comments. well, these were her comments. she said she was full of pride over hamas's attack on israel, and she did it in the media. >> yeah. which is which is bonkers. so donna abu kumar, who's a 19 year old law student at the university of manchester, made the comments at a pro palestine protest just a day after the october 7th attacks. >> well, joining us now is qi hussain, journalist and contributor. for reasons , thank

contributor. for reasons, thank you very much indeed for coming on the show . now, this, video, on the show. now, this, video, thank you very much. great to have you , what's your have you, what's your perspective on on this all, this is a young woman who's come who's a palestinian student. she's enjoying an education in this country . and as soon as the this country. and as soon as the october the 7th attacks happened, she was out on the media saying she was full of pride. what should we do with this, this young woman ? this, this young woman? >> well, i'm elated and ecstatic. what's happened to her? because it sets a precedent. you can't come to this country and spout views that are support groups that are proscribed. so i think i'm literally it was my birthday last week. this is the best birthday present i've got. >> okay . all right, some people >> okay. all right, some people will say that, well , look, you will say that, well, look, you know, she's got, a view there, which is that in her? in her view, the palestinians are an oppressed group of people, on whatever . i oppressed group of people, on whatever. i mean, other oppressed group of people, on whatever . i mean, other people, whatever. i mean, other people, including, crucially, our government. and i think the vast

majority of the british public, of course, think maybe you're supporting a terrorist organisation and you should leave. it's good that the latter has won there, i think, isn't it ? >> 7- >> yeah, 7 >> yeah, but she ? >> yeah, but she did say that she's full of pride, full of joy, she's full of pride, full of joy, of what's happened. she called it palestinian, you know. resistance. i'm sorry. women were raped. babies were killed. you know, it was the biggest thing to happen against the jewish people since, you know, the holocaust. it's not just a little thing. it's alarming. and it's worse because forget her supporting hamas. how do you think jewish students would feel in manchester? you know, manny has a huge amount of jewish residents and jewish students , residents and jewish students, biggest outside of london. so you've got to think about how other students must have felt. >> and that's a question, really. this is the case of one young woman, a palestinian, who's been studying in our country, do you think that there are many other students, maybe on visas or not even on visas, who are british themselves, who who are british themselves, who who hold these kind of views , who hold these kind of views, who hold these kind of views, who saw what happened on october the 7th and celebrated ? the 7th and celebrated? >> well, nigel farage calls universities the madrassas of marxism. and basically what

happens is i call it and i call the students who go to universities, marxist missionaries. and they all, you know, encouraged to express feelings about global issues. but yet they end up supporting terrorist organisations. and we have 81 terrorist organisations that are proscribed by the home office. so i'm under no illusion that there's other students who support other. >> yes. i mean, patrick, you were to talking a young lady, a member of the communist revolutionary party. yeah, who couldn't say what she thought about the october the 7th attack. couldn't say what she thought about hamas. and it does make you wonder why. >> well, i've got i've got a bit more on this on my show this evening until 11 pm, but what is becoming increasingly obvious is becoming increasingly obvious is that when you have these so—called student protests at places like cambridge or at places like cambridge or at places like cambridge or at places like oxford , they're not places like oxford, they're not actually cambridge students. a lot of the time they're not actually oxford students. there is a hard core group of revolutionary communists who set up tents on various campuses and hope that that kick starts a student movement in that particular university. in

reality, they're just people who quite often, if they go to university at all, they're usually at soas. but is this a big problem when it comes to actual the importation of people who are sympathetic towards the hamas cause? do you think ? and hamas cause? do you think? and is that something that we should be deporting or do we have a duty in this country to change their minds to try to try to force them to integrate, to try to force them to see a different path? >> i think we need to have better education, teach people about anti—semitism, about the choice of language. a lot of people don't know that saying, river, from the river to the sea is not anti—semitic. so we need training and we need to encourage people, you know, to not say anything discriminatory. but she's a law student. she's at manchester university, the university of manchester, which is one of the, you know, the best universities. it's a russell group . she's studying russell group. she's studying law. you know, she's doing difficult if she doesn't understand that, you know, supporting hamas is illegal. i don't know what issues she's studying for a law degree. >> yeah, well that is true. she doesn't know the law clearly. >> yeah. okay. look, thank you

very much. great to see you and keep up all the good work that you're doing. case. you're saying those journalists who contributed for reason just just quickly on this now. so she was talking i believe to middle east |, talking i believe to middle east i, i think it's called and a lot of these student rallies as well, like the one that i was at yesterday in cambridge, al jazeera or all of those, they'll talk to al jazeera, they'll talk to groups like, say, five pillars, or they'll talk to groups like middle east, etc, etc, etc. fine, okay. but they'll say stuff like that. and so when you see them with their masks on, not saying anything, there are two ways of looking at that. one way is this is a stoic response to people like suella braverman, who they think are beneath them. yeah. the other way of looking at it is they know that the views they actually hold, which are things like october 7th, was an inside job. women were not raped on october 7. the hostages shouldn't be released. israel doesn't have a right to exist , doesn't have a right to exist, that they know that if they say those things out loud to an organisation like this, we are going to blow the lid off that and therefore they keep their mouths shut. and i suspect that really is what goes on. yeah probably. >> i mean, there may be a combination of the two. there may just be a bit of fear

because they don't want to speak, you know. >> well, you have to also question as well if you feel as though if you feel as though you have to cover your face and not give your actual views out loud because you might never work again, or you could be arrested orindeed again, or you could be arrested or indeed deported, maybe your views are not correct and there may be some who are just wimps. >> anyway, coming up, we're speaking to a patriotic millionaire as the sunday times rich list is revealed. today is it time to introduce a world tax?i it time to introduce a world tax? i wonder what they have to say about that. this is good afternoon, britain. we're on gb news. we're britain's news channel

well. drum roll. the sunday times rich list has been released. and rishi sunak's wealth has shot up by £120 million. he is now richer. his family, at least, are now richer than the king. >> dining out a bit on his on

his wife's wealth, though, isn't it? it's their combined anyway, right? >> well, that's a whole debate. you know, if you get married, what's hers is his. what's his is hers . is hers. >> definitely. how lovely. absolutely. yeah. 100. one of the many benefits that i have from being with you. but whilst we are in the midst of a cost of living crisis is extreme wealth really something that we should be celebrating and is it time to tax the wealthy? >> well, joining us now is member of patriotic millionaires uk, julia davies , julia, thank uk, julia davies, julia, thank you so much forjoining us on the show today , yes. let's start the show today, yes. let's start with the prime minister. he is extraordinarily wealthy, a lot of it through his marriage , he's of it through his marriage, he's now richer than the monarch . do now richer than the monarch. do you think that will elicit calls for more , taxes on wealth ? for more, taxes on wealth? >> well, the calls for more taxes on wealth are actually coming from the wealthy themselves. >> we recently carried out a poll on millionaires. so the people that we polled are people who've got investable income of more than £1 million on top of their house, and most of them

agreed that, our country at the moment desperately needs investment. it needs investment investment. it needs investment in public services and in infrastructure. and not only is that bad for the british people , that bad for the british people, but that's also bad for the economy. >> therefore it's bad for their businesses . businesses. >> so by far they supported the introduction of a wealth tax. in fact, we asked them where do you think we need to get this extra investment that britain desperately needs, which the british people desperately need? and we gave them some options on what they selected. out of that was a wealth tax closing tax loopholes and also equalising capital gains tax with income on on work . so capital gains tax with income on on work. so most working capital gains tax with income on on work . so most working people, on work. so most working people, they're paying a higher rate of tax on the income for them going out and working than wealthy people are earning on the wealth that they earn on their wealth. and that's well, that doesn't make good business sense because, right now what we need is we need a healthy working population. we know that there are people languishing on on hospital waiting lists . so right hospital waiting lists. so right now in the news, we're talking about bed blockers. when we talk

about bed blockers. when we talk about bed blockers. when we talk about bed blockers, what we're talking about elderly people who've worked all of their life , who've worked all of their life, who've worked all of their life, who've contributed into the state, and they are now unable to be sent home from hospital because we don't have the care services that they need. so when we talk about tax, it's not it's not a laughing matter. tax is what pays for the services . what pays for the services. >> no, absolutely. >> no, absolutely. >> it is looking after our elderly people. >> i completely agree with you, obviously to fund our public services , we need tax income. services, we need tax income. and this is why i worry about your movement a little bit. well, i don't worry about your movement in particular, but i worry about wealth taxes in general. is that from this rich list, we can see that highly affluent people are also highly mobile . and there's a lot of mobile. and there's a lot of talk about how we may have reached peak. billionaire in this country, because a lot of very wealthy people who pay huge amounts of taxes are deciding to move to countries where they may not have to pay so much tax or to other countries for various different reasons. but let's face it , tax and regulations are face it, tax and regulations are a big thing for the richest in

our society. do we really want to lose them , let me just point to lose them, let me just point out something. so the rich list started in 1989. in 1989, gb so all of us are public wealth was , all of us are public wealth was, it was. let me just get the figure for you. >> could you just answer the question now? is that all right? >> i'll give you this. >> i'll give you this. >> yeah. so it was. >> can you actually just ask the question? >> £337 billion. our public wealth is now —£1 trillion. so since the rich list started nick gibb. so all of us, we have lost 1.337 trillion in wealth during that time, the wealthiest 200 families on that rich list, their wealth has gone up by 669 billion. what about the loss? so that tells you where the money is. so when you now have people asking, why can't i get dental care for my children, you just answer the question, why can't my. >> why can't my family? >> why can't my family? >> why can't my family? >> why can't my elderly mum get looked after on the nhs? you can

explain how awful things are in our public services and how unequal our economy is. and all of that. but i am worried about what actually happens if you squeeze wealth so much that it disappears . leaves the country. disappears. leaves the country. people are more mobile than ever . if we squeeze people till the pip . if we squeeze people till the pip squeak, will they not just abandon this country? is that is that not a worry of yours at all? >> not at all. because i'm a wealthy person, i can tell you these people are not being squeezed to the pits. we, the people who are being squeezed to the pit squeak are the over 3 million people who are on the lowest wages, who are now being having to pay tax because tax thresholds have been frozen since april 2021. i'm the people who are being squeezed. are the people on middle incomes who now, because tax thresholds have been frozen and now paying and are now paying higher rates tax, those are the people who are being squeezed, the people who are providing our public services, they are being squeezed. nobody, nobody on this wish list is being squeezed. i made my wealth from setting up a company, which i sold my stake

in about six years ago, so that's how i made my way. >> what did the company do out of interest, i sold backpacks and backpacks . i'm fair enough. and backpacks. i'm fair enough. all right. >> so what i'm saying is tax. tax is what invests in our pubuc tax is what invests in our public services tax is what we used to use to give us worry. >> i just dental care for our children a little bit about the laffer curve. that's all i'm worrying about. i'm worrying i'm worrying about. i'm worrying i'm worrying about. i'm worrying i'm worrying about those. i'm worrying about those. i'm worrying about those pensioners who cannot get health care. really great to debate this with you. julia davies, a member of the patriotic millionaires, the group that wants to enrich people to pay more tax. let us know what you make of that. >> yeah, of course they can just do that themselves. so anyway, right is the last the least you expect when you die to have your body correctly stored, isn't it. but that's not the case unfortunately. it's some nhs hospitals. according to reports that say that bodies have suddenly been left to decompose . suddenly been left to decompose. yes. pretty grim. we've got more on that when we come back. >> it's 1233. on that when we come back. >> it's1233. i'm sophia wenzler

i >> -- >> well, welcome back to good afternoon, britain. now look, you would expect that when people die, their bodies are correctly stored. but that's not

the case in some nhs hospitals where, according to new reports, bodies have been left to decompose . yes, this is quite decompose. yes, this is quite shocking. >> sorry. it's a bit grim for the afternoon, but it's very important to know inadequate storage facilities and a shortage of freezer space has led to some quite disturbing scenarios where some bodies are being left at improper temperatures for excessive periods. so you can imagine what might happen. >> yeah, indeed. this, by the way, comes off the back of numerous different nhs whistleblower stories, which are painting quite a bleak picture, really, of what life is like within our national health service. but we're joined now by the co—owner of brydie white funerals . it's the co—owner of brydie white funerals. it's brian the co—owner of brydie white funerals . it's brian white. funerals. it's brian white. brian, look, thank you very, very much. i mean, how much of a concern is this for people in your line of work? are you are your line of work? are you are you seeing bodies presented to you seeing bodies presented to you that have maybe been kept in a poor conditions in the nhs in patrick, no. is the answer . all patrick, no. is the answer. all any bodies we collect from any of the mortuaries or nhs hospitals we've used have all beenin

hospitals we've used have all been in excellent condition. nothing. no problems. they're all being properly looked after. so our experiences have been nothing but complimentary. so our experiences have been nothing but complimentary . we, nothing but complimentary. we, the nhs, hospitals and mortuaries we've dealt with. >> well that's, that's a very goodin >> well that's, that's a very good in the cases, the cases that you've dealt with of course. but i mean it's quite disturbing to hear that officials from the human tissue authority are warning that essentially these storage facilities are so inadequate and there is not enough freezer space that some of these bodies are essentially just being left to decompose. presumably inside these, these hospitals. so they're calling for massive improvements. i mean, i can imagine if you're the relative of someone who's sadly passed away, this is the last thing you'd imagine to happen. >> oh, yeah. agreed. totally. if you're a relative, that is the case. although i would suspect in the large number of these cases of bodies remaining in hospitals, they simply have no next of kin, no family, no one to arrange the funeral. so actually, some of the really sad bit about this are these people are lonely people with no one

there to take care of them after they've died, and i think that's really sad. >> well, that's very sad . i >> well, that's very sad. i hadnti >> well, that's very sad. i hadn't i hadn't thought of that. yes, you're probably right that these are people who may well have died completely, completely alone . alone. >> can i just say that the timeline on this will shock people? i suspect you're right, by the way, brian, because when you look at how long some of these bodies have been left here. so the inspection team noted that a body had been in storage for 70 days and that had not been placed into frozen storage, despite being released by the coroner . how can storage, despite being released by the coroner. how can this happen? and how how awful is that? i mean , it's i mean, it's that? i mean, it's i mean, it's obviously, you know, really distressing for the family of the individual involved. but i mean, it is also a biohazard , mean, it is also a biohazard, isn't it? >> oh, a huge biohazard, which i guess that's why the human tissues act has done these visits to identify potential risks. but in the case of somebody who has died and is in a hospital mortuary for 70 days, it just really strongly suggests to me that that poor individual

has no one that's taking care of their funeral details, so there's no one to come and collect them. there's no funeral director being appointed by the family . who would then be passed family. who would then be passed on to local authority. the hospitals should have the correct storage facilities. and i say all i can speak for is one around here. patrick and they've all been excellent. >> yeah . could you just maybe >> yeah. could you just maybe a bit of reassurance because we've deau bit of reassurance because we've dealt with a couple of stories in the last few days here about large scale cover ups in the nhs, about poor treatment. the point of that actually killing people, then nhs whistleblowers finding that their lives have been ruined and massive, massive, massive cover ups, etc. and then this story lands, which is, you know, even in even in death, you might not get looked after that one in the nhs. you're saying that everything's been tip top in your neck of the woods and that's great. what should the process be then? so, you know, unfortunately someone passes away in the nhs as they do what what should that process be like for, for them to end up,

you know, being looked after by someone like you essentially. what's the time frame? >> so if somebody dies in the hospital local to us, and the family, the brady white, they would inform the bereavement office at the hospital that brady white are taking care of that individual . we would then that individual. we would then collecting the individual from hospital as soon as we can. one of our top priorities is to get people into our care as soon as we possibly can. so we'd send the required paperwork, the hospital, collect the individual, bring them into our care . but that requires a family care. but that requires a family or an executor to appoint the funeral director. >> yeah. interesting. look brian, thank you very, very much. that's brian white there. who's the co—owner of brady white funerals. you know, emily, i was thinking about this, actually. i wonder whether yet again, in a situation like this is a bit of family, the two guests that we've just had on there, the first, the one before, was talking about how nhs care is so bad, all the rich need to pay tax, and i was thinking, okay, fine, but what about people looking after their own relatives a bit more if they can a bit more care in the in the community, that individual there, you know, we're talking here about the idea that there

are these thousands of bodies that are stuck in it. well, actually, why aren't the families getting that sorted quicker? >> there's another nhs story in the news today as well. well, nhs related record numbers of people seeking private health care out of sheer desperation. so not because they've got buckets of cash to wave around to splurge mish, but simply because otherwise they're not going to get the treatment they needin going to get the treatment they need in a timely fashion. yeah, so there's a lot going on with our nhs, and this is just one. >> well, we've got a spokesperson for the nhs who's just chimed up about this particular quite harrowing story. i will admit to you about the body problem, but the nhs takes its responsibility in this area seriously and all nhs trusts must follow the human tissue authority's guidance on mortuary storage practices. yeah, i mean it is. >> i must say i'd never heard of the human tissue or authority, but clearly they've been doing their inspections much needed apparently, but coming up could

the netherlands be on the brink of a major confrontation with the european union over immigration rules ? immigration rules? >> this is this is a massive story for the future of europe. what's going on in the netherlands? geert wilders has now been able to form a coalition he's got some, well, some would say extreme views, some would say extreme views, some would say extreme views, some would also say quite necessary views. it's going to be a big showdown and we'll have big consequences for the future of europe. so stay tuned for that. we'll give you the latest.

welcome back. now could the netherlands be on the brink of a major confrontation with the european union over immigration and asylum rules? >> yes. well, it looks likely after six months of tedious political wrangling. right wing politician geert wilders has finally managed to cobble together a coalition and has

vowed to take a tougher stance on immigration and forcibly deport those who are refused asylum . asylum. >> yeah, it's big there. it is very big, actually. so how are an eu official was very quick to rule out any possibility of the netherlands being able to opt out of the eu's asylum policies, raising the prospect now of an incoming massive confrontation between brussels and amsterdam, which i actually don't see any way around, to be honest with you. >> no, not if he wants to actually do what he says he's going to do. let's discuss this further now with the former member of the dutch parliament, ralph dekker. ralph thank you very much for joining ralph dekker. ralph thank you very much forjoining us ralph dekker. ralph thank you very much for joining us today, this is very interesting news and could have repercussions for the entire european union. geert wilders making it very clear that he wants no part of the european union's new migration pact and their asylum policies. how is he going to make this happen? then >> well, he already has, compromised quite a little bit because he was pro nexit really

before the before he got into this coalition agreement with the three other parties. and now he's decided to go and try and change something from inside the eu and try to organise for an opt out there . but apart from opt out there. but apart from that, i think the netherlands used to be holier than the pope in it. in applying the immigration rules, inside the eu. and now for the first time, both inside the netherlands, all the rulings and the laws , are the rulings and the laws, are trying to be applied now stringently , and on top of that, stringently, and on top of that, there's well, we're going to apply, as i understand it, for an opt out because we are a densely populated country . we densely populated country. we have over 100,000 net influx of immigrants every year, which is a, well, let's say, a major city on everything. >> is that the problem? ralph, can i just ask you, is that is that the issue for the people of the netherlands now, which is

that they, they, they think that immigration and asylum is just far too high? >> well, yes, i think that is one of the main reasons why kate wilders had such a huge success in the latest elections, where he got around 25% of the vote, which is which is huge in the dutch context. so yes, the immigration is truly a problem, and people are fed up with the, let's say, the generally left wing, ruling governments in the last 12 years under, officially conservative premier, margaret ralph is a wilders, in your view, is he hoping that with the european elections very soon, 2 or 3 weeks away, i believe they are, that more and more eurosceptic , anti—immigration eurosceptic, anti—immigration type parliamentarians will join the european parliament and then there may be, you know, a significant shift in that direction on the whole . well, direction on the whole. well, yes, absolutely. that's that's

what he is no doubt counting on, and rightly so, because he's he's part of id, the identity party group, but also the other parties will probably grow where the, the right wing is concerned, and that will certainly change, let's say the atmosphere in the european parliament. no, no doubt about that. >> and of course, there are a lot of people in the netherlands and in the european union who, who, who are very much against his policies, who see him as a far right, beyond the pale, type of politician . how does he deal of politician. how does he deal with with that ? with with that? >> well, i suppose he's he's pretty much used to that , but pretty much used to that, but also his coalition partners. now are being, let's say, smeared. and you see that already in, the person of valerie ihra, who is the head of the renew europe party, where our conservatives , party, where our conservatives, fefe de margarita, are part of. she's already complaining that,

it's unacceptable that margarita and his party would, would join with geert wilders in the coalition, look, ralph, thank you very, very much. we're going to be keeping a very close eye on what goes on with you guys, because it's vitally important stuff. it's ralph dekker, full member of the dutch parliament. coming up. we're live outside teesside crown court, where moroccan asylum seeker ahmed ali allard has been sentenced to a minimum term of 44 years for brutally murdering a pensioner. we've got all the detail . we've got all the detail. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar, sponsors of weather on . solar, sponsors of weather on. gb news. >> hello and welcome to the latest gb news forecast from the met office. it's a tail of sunny spells and sharp showers for the rest of today and the next few days in fact, low pressure slipping away. so it's going to be less dominant across the uk, but still some instability in

cloud that will tend to break up, we're going to see some sunny spells developing, but they'll also be once again some shower development. western and central scotland seeing some sharp showers, but the majority of the showers will affect wales and the south—west of england. and here there could be very lively with some heavy rain in places as temperatures away from the showers and into the warm sunny spells reaching 20 to 23 celsius. >> but those showers will continue to affect parts of wales in the south—west into the evening, before eventually fading away and then into sunday again. >> warm, sunny spells for many, but there will be some showers around, particularly across parts of southern england, by that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers. >> sponsors of weather on

>> no, this is this is a this is a deliberate attack of which he said he would have continued under much more if he could have got a more severe weapon. so look, my bigger concern, to be honest with you, i'm sure this is resonated with a lot of the gb news viewers and listeners is how widespread is this problem? are there others like him? will we ever know until it's too late? but yes, we'll be talking about all of that. make sure you do get in touch. gbnews.com forward slash your say it's your headlines. >> good afternoon. it's 1:02 headlines. >> good afternoon. it's1:02 i'm sophia wenzler in the gb newsroom. a moroccan asylum seeker has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 45 years for murdering a pensioner in an attack motivated by the conflict in gaza. ahmed al fayed stabbed 70 year old terence carney six times in hartlepool in what was intended as revenge for the israel—hamas conflict . he told israel—hamas conflict. he told police the attack, a week after the hamas attacks on israel, was

for the people of gaza and he had wanted to kill more victims. al fayed was also found guilty of the attempted murder of his housemate, who he had attacked before the fatal stabbing of mr carney . the chancellor, jeremy carney. the chancellor, jeremy hunt, has declined to give a cast iron guarantee of tax cuts, while insisting the tax burden would go down under a future conservative government. he warns that labour will be forced to raise taxes to pay for their spending pledges, as he reiterated his own commitment to eliminating national insurance . eliminating national insurance. speaking a short while ago in london, the chancellor accused his shadow , rachel reeves, of his shadow, rachel reeves, of resorting to playground politics with her criticism of the high levels of taxation on uk household when it comes to labour policies on jobs and welfare reform and tax. >> the difference if they are elected, will be profound and damaging for every family in the country. labour, like to criticise recent tax rises, thinking people don't know what

caused them. the furlough scheme, the energy price guarantee and billions of pounds in cost of living support. but labour supported those policies which is why it is playground politics to use those tax rises to distract debate from the biggest divide in british politics today . what happens to politics today. what happens to the tax burden next? >> south west water says cow manure could have led to the outbreak of a parasitic disease in devon that has led to dozens of people experiencing vomiting and diarrhoea . it is thought a and diarrhoea. it is thought a damaged air valve on a pipe in a field containing cattle has been identified as the potential site of the outbreak. bottled water has been handed out to residents as people have been told to stop using tap water for drinking without boiling it first, and schools have been forced to shut . exchequer secretary to the treasury gareth davies says it's important to hold water companies to account. >> well, it's a very troubling development that we're hearing

in devon. of course it is. we've taken very tough action to strengthen the powers of the regulator to allow them to hold companies to account as the chancellor has just said, we've seen significant investment as a result of privatisation. the only water company, in addition to the one that the chancellor referenced, that is worse is in scotland, which is not privatised. and so this is a matter of holding companies to account, making sure that they're investing in this government is focused on making sure that happens . sure that happens. >> in other news, french police have shot dead a man who tried to set fire to a synagogue in the northwestern city of rouen . the northwestern city of rouen. it's reported that the man was armed with a knife and an iron bar, and threw a firebomb inside the building before police shot him. police were called at around 645 this morning after local reports of smoke seen rising from the synagogue. the mayor of rouen said the attack on the synagogue didn't just

was all because he'd converted to christianity . to christianity. >> yeah, well, look, there are even more, believe it or not, shocking details than that, let's now cross to teesside crown court. two gb news reporter anna o'reilly. anna thank you very, very much. look what went on in court and what is the latest please . is the latest please. >> yes, well, it was mrs. justice cheema—grubb that gave that life sentence to ahmed al fayed this afternoon. >> she ruled that al fayed had committed terrorist offences when he murdered 70 year old pensioner terence carney and attempted to kill his housemate, javid noori . she told alid he javid noori. she told alid he had hoped to frighten the people of britain and undermine the freedoms they enjoy. when he murdered mr carney in a terrorist attack . she said ali terrorist attack. she said ali then attacked an unarmed and elderly man after trying to attack his housemate on october the 15th last year. and this it was an elderly man who was unable to defend himself . the

unable to defend himself. the judge said that the jury had seen through aled's lies after he claimed the explanations he gave to police for his actions had been mistranslated , and that had been mistranslated, and that political and religious causes were not his actual motivation. she said that they were, and that he was motivated by the hamas attack on gaza. starting on october the 7th last year. with this attack happening eight days later on, mr carney and mr noori, in a statement read to the court, mr carney's wife, patricia , said her husband went patricia, said her husband went out walking regularly and on the early morning and this is when he was attacked by a alid while he was attacked by a alid while he was attacked by a alid while he was out on his morning walk. she called him tess and she said he was doing what he had always done and enjoyed doing. he was taking a walk on a street he believed to be safe, and a chance encounter with this man ended his life. she said that she'd been with mr carney from a young age, that they had children and grandchildren

together , and although they'd together, and although they'd been living separately for a few years, they were still very much together. she said in the statement she could no longer go into town because it was too painful to be near the spot where mr carney died after being stabbed six times by allied on the street in the early morning, she said from that day on, my life would be forever changed after the murder, she said. i don't feel anything anymore. the court also heard that ali tried to kill his housemate javid noori, as he regarded him as an apostate for converting from islam to christianity and that he armed himself with two kitchen knives and broke into his housemates room in the early hours of the morning whilst he was sleeping. javid noori has spoke out in a victim statement and he said since the attack, he doesn't trust anyone or anything and that all thoughts and feelings i have of being in a safe country have gone . he was safe country have gone. he was sharing accommodation with alid

home office accommodation in hartlepool and he was from iran. he said i would expect to be arrested and killed in my home country for converting to christianity, but i did not expect to be attacked in my sleep here. how is it possible for someone to destroy someone's life because of his religion? he said he now struggles with mental health problems and had to move to another area in england, which and he can no longer see his friends. as a result. he said i want to tell ahmed you are a weak person because of your religion. you attack someone in deep sleep and an old man who struggled to walk . so that was the latest that we've got from the court here. this afternoon. and the head of counter—terrorism policing north east also spoke out about leading the investigation and said in this case, it was appropriate that the decision to declare this horrific incident as an act of terrorism was made

once all the evidence had been heard by the court very much, incredibly comprehensive report there on a devastating issue . there on a devastating issue. >> and o'reilly outside teesside crown court can i just go into a little bit of the track record , little bit of the track record, this individual? okay, so he left morocco in two thousand and seven after having a problem with the intelligence services. okay. he spent time in 13 different european countries. he first arrived in cadiz in spain in two thousand and seven, travelled to france, italy, greece before returning to italy where he lived and worked for nine months from italy, moved to germany, where he lived between 2000 and 9 2011. he applied for asylum in germany. he was refused asylum in germany. he travelled to denmark , sweden, travelled to denmark, sweden, norway and finland, hoping to set up a shop with somebody from somalia, but he was deported back to germany. he travelled to switzerland and then vienna, and then returned to germany , and then returned to germany, and then returned to germany, and then he spent two years in spain before he came to britain illegally via a ferry. in 2020,

where he went on to just kill an old man going about his business, trying to kill somebody else and now he's our problem and terrorise his housemate, an iranian christian convert who, as we heard just then, will have probably have mental health issues for the rest of his days. >> i remember reading the reports when this story came. the horrific story came out, that he would just sit in the kitchen wielding a knife . and kitchen wielding a knife. and this asylum seeker that that was harmed . he said, i've told all harmed. he said, i've told all the services i've told all these, you know, quangos and agencies about it. and they say unless actually something happens, we can't do anything, we can't do anything. so he was just left there. i mean, it's an astonishingly horrendous story. >> absolutely , well, look, >> absolutely, well, look, moving on from that to, well, something else that is quite bleak, but also ongoing, french police have shot dead an armed man believed to have set fire to a synagogue in northern france

with a petrol bomb . yes. with a petrol bomb. yes. >> police were called after smoke was spotted rising from the synagogue in rouen and were threatened by a man armed with a knife and an iron bar. >> well, the attack has naturally led to a lot of concern and dismay amongst france's jewish community, and we can go live now to paris and speak to the president of the union of jewish students of france, samuel le jour. samuel, thank you very much. great to have you on the show. what is the mood like in france at the moment when it comes to incidents like these ? incidents like these? >> thank you so much you to give me a the place to talk about that, for sure , since october that, for sure, since october 7th, jews in france , not only in 7th, jews in france, not only in france, but specifically in france, but specifically in france , are afraid. afraid of france, are afraid. afraid of all this, hatred. all disentis ism. who is developing, who is ,

ism. who is developing, who is, there is so many more more, anti—semitic discourses, anti—semitic discourses, anti—semitic speech, and also anti—semitic speech, and also anti—semitic action in the pubuc anti—semitic action in the public sphere. this new attack, in rouen in north of france. it's absolutely terrible . the it's absolutely terrible. the images that we see of the interior of this synagogue, who is burnt the interior of a synagogue needs to be a place of security, a place where all the jews need to be able to pray in a safe way. and now to have this images of, burned synagogue . images of, burned synagogue. it's, of course, recall, so many, terrible actions in our history. >> and that's part of the motivation of these types of attacks to make jewish people feel in their everyday life , at feel in their everyday life, at risk and fearful that there

might be a similar attack elsewhere. now i'm just looking up for a number of years i've been seeing headlines that french jewish people are considering or have already left the country because of rising anti—semitism . how true is that ? anti—semitism. how true is that? >> yeah, of course, of course it's true. it's really, it's really the topic. and thank you to, to raise this point because i really think it's something central. we do not talk about one incident, one, hate speech , one incident, one, hate speech, here or in the, in the public debate, we are talking about about the possibility for the jewish people to feel safe and to have a future in the european countries. and specifically in france. we are talking about a big jewish community, we are

talking about a country where there is all the freedom possible, all the laws, pro , possible, all the laws, pro, prohibiting hate speech and so on. but still, there is a lot of people because of their hatred against israel, that want the jews out of france. and really, l, jews out of france. and really, i, i really say we have a future in france, and we will prove that we have a future in france. we know that it's only a minority of people who want to terrify us, but still, it's very , it's very it's a big problem. of course. >> yes . and when you hear of >> yes. and when you hear of attacks like this, attempted attacks like this, attempted attacks like this on synagogues and on kosher shops and, and the individuals even, it is very shocking. but that's why we want to bring, bring to air these types of stories to make sure people understand. and so it can be combated. but thank you so much. samuel nick hewer, who is the president of the union of

jewish students of france , yes. jewish students of france, yes. there is a lot of blatant anti—semitism in some areas of france, europe, a europe wide problem, isn't it? >> quite clearly , quite clearly. >> quite clearly, quite clearly. yeah. absolutely astonishing really. what's going on at the moment anyway? gosh, united kingdom and bangladesh have signed an agreement to tackle illegal immigration. the new returns agreement will speed up the removal of migrants with no right to be in the country. >> yes, it's a bit similar to a deal with albania and the aim is to expedite returns that reduce the number of small boat arrivals from albania by over 90. >> and we're joined now by immigration lawyer paul turner. right, paul, talk us through this then. so come on. we've got some kind of returns agreement with bangladesh. in practical terms, what does this mean? >> well, it's designed, to do as they did with the albanians, which is that if someone is refused asylum and their appeal is dismissed, that they can be returned easily and quickly to bangladesh . bangladesh is like, bangladesh. bangladesh is like, quite to easy return people to.

they can be done on essentially a temporary passport. and with the agreement of the bangladeshi high commission. so for the government, this , this could be government, this, this could be a big step forward. i don't think it would, dissuade quite a lot of people from claiming asylum from bangladesh, but it it might mean that a few more people can be removed. and patrick, there is a massive problem with, in my experience and other practitioners fabricated claims from people claiming asylum from bangladesh. people come in as students , they people come in as students, they are unable to continue studying or they want to remain in the united kingdom. and given the, notideal united kingdom. and given the, not ideal human rights record in bangladesh, they then, manufacture a claim based upon being involved with the opposition party and sadly, i've seen cases where, at the appeal tribunal , they pay for tribunal, they pay for witnesses. there are renter witnesses. there are renter witnesses that will come along and say that the individual is

politically active , that's very politically active, that's very interesting. interesting insight . yes. because i'm reading here and this is in the telegraph report, that nearly 11,000 bangladeshis entered, entered britain on visas last year, only to lodge asylum claims within 12 months of being here. so essentially this is the route they take, thousands of bangladeshis enter on legitimate visas for whatever means, whether it's student, whether it's a temporary work visa . i it's a temporary work visa. i don't know what else there could be just a visiting visa , and be just a visiting visa, and then once they're here, they lodge their asylum, claim. and how often are they successful ? how often are they successful? >> well, not very often, emily. i think it's around about 5 or 6, a lot of the claims are just hopeless, and they rely more upon the fact that the home office don't remove people. so it's essentially get yourself into the system. you can't be detained or put on reporting conditions, sadly, you'll find a lot of people come here and obviously it's a bit easier and

safer than a small boat, it's a bit further from bangladesh as well . so once they've arrived in well. so once they've arrived in the united kingdom, they mix with other people in the community. sadly, some disreputable people will say, all you need to do is say that you belong to the opposition party, and then go along to a few meetings , have your few meetings, have your photograph taken, get some letters of support, and then they manufacture a claim and they manufacture a claim and they clog up the courts as well. yeah, i mean, has there been any backlash to this? >> the idea that bangladesh is not a safe country? we seem to hearit not a safe country? we seem to hear it with everywhere else. you know, has there been any has there been much pushback ? there been much pushback? >> i don't think there will be. but it is sad because the human rights record under the current government is very poor. i think the current prime minister has beenin the current prime minister has been in power for a very long penod been in power for a very long period of time , and i think period of time, and i think genuine people in opposition are at risk . it is genuine people in opposition are at risk. it is it is quite a bleak picture . the sad thing is bleak picture. the sad thing is that that because it's a bleak picture, people will utilise that to make up and fabricate

claims and just, just quite clearly then, paul, i suppose this will have an impact. >> you think in kerbing illegal migration, probably acting as a deterrent to people and also maybe clearing the backlog, which are vitally important things in this country at the moment? >> well, there's a number of things, patrick. it depends on how many people they actually get on to. the planes , because get on to. the planes, because if they don't remove people, it's just another announcement . it's just another announcement. in theory, yes. will it act as a deterrent? i'm not so sure, because once people get into the united kingdom and we have a thriving and vibrant bangladeshi community in the united kingdom, they may not just claim asylum and remain here illegally, but it's certainly a step in the right direction. and as we've seen from the albania removes removals project that has cut the number of people coming across on small boats from albania. so there is hope for it. but, we shall have to see. >> and this is what we need to for this issue. we need more

returns agreements. so this is one, this is one what impact it will have on waits to be seen. but thank you so much paul. really great to get your expertise on this. paul turner immigration lawyer i just just quickly on that. >> i found that fascinating. so he says that people fake witnesses. every time you talk to someone, he's got a bit of a he's looked behind the curtain of some of these immigration claims. there's some there's some issue like that. it was the old fake baptisms before wasn't it. and now they've got the fake witnesses, everything. it's a massive industry political dissident. it's a political dissident. it's a political dissident. yeah. it's a massive industry anyway . right. okay. so industry anyway. right. okay. so should hamas sympathisers be deported, we are going to be having a rip roaring debate on that very, very shortly. so stay with .

us. >> well. good afternoon. britain. it's 1:26. >> well. good afternoon. britain. it's1:26. now. a palestinian student who said she

was full of pride after hamas launched its attack on israel, claims the home office has now revoked her visa on the grounds of national security. >> well, donna abu kumar, who's a 19 year old law student at the university of manchester, was filmed at a pro—palestine protest just a day after the october 7th attacks, saying that she was really full of joy and proud that palestinian resistance had come to this point. >> yes, well, the home office haven't yet commented on this individual case, but the question today is sympathising with hamas fairgrounds for deportation. >> well, joined now by former chief immigration officer at uk border force kevin saunders, who thinks that it is fair to deport people if they sympathise with hamas . we're going to try and hamas. we're going to try and get the other side of this debate in just a second. but kevin, we will start. we will start with you, so, yeah. should we be deporting people? do you think that appear to express sympathy with hamas ? sympathy with hamas? >> well, from from what i've seen, of the sky interview,

clearly he is, supporting hamas and saying in not so many words that it was justified. so she , that it was justified. so she, she could have her visa cancelled because she is non—conducive to the public good. it is not in the public interest for her to be here and cancelling visas is something that we do all the time. so this isn't unusual in any, any sense. so no , no big deal. so no, no big deal. >> so do you do you buy the idea that , this is a freedom of that, this is a freedom of speech issue and this was her genuine instant reaction to what happened. and, it's part of her rights in some way to be able to say so. no >> well, put it like this. if i'd been on the control at calais and this lady had come into the control at calais and said that her visa would be

cancelled straight away because that they are not conducive to the public good. it's not in the pubuc the public good. it's not in the public interest for somebody to come into the uk from outside the uk and say these things. so if she had just arrived at port and said these things that she would be refused straight away. >> yeah. and that's , that's the >> yeah. and that's, that's the issue i think as well for some people maybe saying, well, look, can we actually send her back there? you know, can we send her back?! there? you know, can we send her back? i mean, where would we send her? would we send her to gaza? gaza is not safe, i suppose, given the argument might be that, well, she just appeared to quite like the regime over there. maybe she should be sent there. >> well, i mean , i don't know >> well, i mean, i don't know what passport she holds, but it wouldn't be a, it wouldn't be a garden passport, would it? it would be a passport, so she would be a passport, so she would be a passport, so she would be returned to whichever country she is, a passport holder for. and realistically ,

holder for. and realistically, she should know better than coming to the uk and whatever her personal feelings are , she her personal feelings are, she shouldn't be saying these sorts of things in a public place in the uk. it's not on and she's a law student, so she knows that, you know, support for terrorism is not allowed in this country, but i imagine, i mean , she felt but i imagine, i mean, she felt bold enough to talk about this in the media. presumably she thought that there were lots of people that would agree with her here. so is she just going to be used if she is going to be deported? and if it's true that her visa has been revoked, she's just one person. there could be hundreds of thousands if not millions who who agree. >> there could be lots of people that agree, if they are, here on visas, then they can be removed. if they come out with this sort of rhetoric because this, this rhetoric that this lady is accused of coming out of, saying

which sky has got is pretty clear. it's pretty clear in supporting hamas killing 1600 people. >> okay. now i'm just going to bnngin >> okay. now i'm just going to bring in femi. femi, i know we had a couple of issues with your connection. now i think we are ready to ready to rock and roll now, my good man. thank you. this is, activist femi nylander, i'm assuming you have a different view to this. so this individual who appears to anyway have had her visa revoked for grounds of being, quote, a national security threats for boasting of joy at the hamas terror attacks , your you think terror attacks, your you think we should let her stay , i mean, we should let her stay, i mean, i think we need to think about what terrorism is. you talk about 16, sorry, 1600 people being killed, many of whom were combatants with the idf . combatants with the idf. however, since then, we've seen 15 members of this young lady's family be killed by the genocidal state of israel , and genocidal state of israel, and the reality of the situation is, the reality of the situation is, the reality of the situation is that we have a number of british

citizens who are going over to fight for a foreign army, and we've seen what that army has donein we've seen what that army has done in the past six months, seven months, that army has sniper toddlers in the head. the army has run over senior citizens with bulldozers. the army has bombed countless civilians to death . the army civilians to death. the army has, engaged in sexual violence. and this information is not just not. it's not like the 40 beheaded babies hoax where no one knows about it. this this has to go to a secret screening. >> this woman isn't a british citizen, she's in this country to study, presumably on a student visa, she should know the rule of this land, which is that hamas is a proscribed terror organisation. so you live by the law of the land you're in? >> no, but i mean , the reality, >> no, but i mean, the reality, of course, is, again, that we are supporting terrorism. we're supporting that. you think the death of civilians is wrong, then you think the death of 40,000 plus civilians is wrong. okay, so you clearly see a moral

equivalence between hamas and the idf . so what? there's no the idf. so what? there's no i don't i don't see a moral equivalence between hamas and the idf. hamas has not killed 40,000 plus people. hamas does not and has not bombed massive hamas of civilians to death. but what i'm saying here is just look at the facts and look at the statistics. you don't care because you don't think muslim lives are equal. you don't think muslim civilians being killed is bad? no. but it's true. it's true. >> because if it's not true, you did. you would be. >> you do you do you condemn the idf? patrick? do you condemn the idf? >> i'm i'm actually going to draw a line under this now. okay? >> you condemn the idf. >> you condemn the idf. >> i also think, and one of the reasons i just say, one of the reasons i just say, one of the reasons i'm drawing a line under this is that a line slipped out that i think, you know, i'm not just going to let you. i'm not just going to let you. i'm not just which was i believe that you just denied that, babies were beheaded at sitra on october 7, and i actually, i did hean >> have you got any have you got. >> i actually have you got views? have you got any proof of that? because i have seen

videos. >> okay. >> okay. >> so thank you very much. all right. thank you very much. okay. >> thanks, femi nylander and thanks to kevin saunders. >> well pretty disgusting. >> well pretty disgusting. >> not sure we got anywhere with that i know. >> and actually i don't think i really just don't think views like that should be, aired on national television. >> anyway, coming up, new research has revealed that on average, young entrepreneurs are working almost a day and a half extra per week compared to the rest of us. could that be true ? rest of us. could that be true? our young people, working harder than previous generations? more after the headlines . after the headlines. >> it's 134. after the headlines. >> it's134. i'm sophia wenzler and the gb newsroom. your headunes and the gb newsroom. your headlines a moroccan asylum seeker has been sentenced to a minimum term of 44 years and 52 days for murdering a pensioner in an attack motivated by the conflict in gaza. ahmed al fayed stabbed 70 year old terence carney six times in hartlepool in what was intended as revenge for the israel—hamas conflict . for the israel—hamas conflict. he told police the attack, a week after the hamas attacks on

i >> right. well, on a lighter note, new research has revealed that on average, young entrepreneurs are working almost a day and a half extra per week compared to the rest of us. >> i like that light. anyway, almost three quarters of young entrepreneurs have said that they were more passionate about their side hustle than their 9 to 5 job. >> i've been in that position more passionate about a side hustle. good stuff. our north west of england reporter, sophie reaper spoke to one young businesswoman to find out what it is that drives her. >> if it's something you really, really enjoy, there will be a way that you'll make it work. >> since she was just 17, keen

young entrepreneur jenna >> since she was just 17, keen young entrepreneurjenna barton young entrepreneur jenna barton has always had a side hustle. she started out by offering make up appointments on weekends, and since then, her love of having her own business has continued to grow financially . to grow financially. >> yes, there is a benefit to it, but at the same time, i feel like a 9 to 5 can be quite mundane and sort of monotonous as a creative person, i feel like i need to have an outlet to, you know, really exude my creativity. and that's what gets me going and keeps me excited as well for my job. so if i can have my 9 to 5 and that pay my bills and i've got the structure coming in there, but then also enjoy myself on a weekend, keep myself busy, a bit of extra money, but also use my creativity to its fullest. >> after getting engaged last yean >> after getting engaged last year, her passion for social media combined with wedding planning brought about a new business opportunity . business opportunity. >> i just thought, you know what? if you can have this on your wedding day as sort of a behind the scenes experience on top of your wedding photographer

and videographer, then why not? i'd love for it to eventually become my full time job. it's something i absolutely enjoy seeing people's love stories pan out in front of me as well. >> but jenna is not alone. new research has found that on top of the normal 9 to 5, the average young entrepreneur is working an extra day and a half each week to try and grow their side hustle into a full time career. in fact, 71% said they were more passionate about their small business than their actual jobs. but with an average profit of £3.70 per hour, it's the earning potential that could be holding them back among young people. >> there's an incredible amount of talent, an incredible amount of talent, an incredible amount of passion , and it's important of passion, and it's important that actually as a country, we harness that and make sure that we're encouraging people to consider setting up their own business from a young age. and increasingly, we're seeing younger people recognising that they could be their own boss, they could be their own boss, they could be their own boss, they could do something that they're really, really passionate about. >> as times change, so do our

ways of working. and that means our younger generations taking their small businesses online. >> increasingly, we see a lot of young entrepreneurs growing their business and marketing their business and marketing their business and marketing their business online using social media platforms . in the social media platforms. in the uk, there's 1.5 social media platforms. in the uk, there's1.5 million uk, there's 1.5 million businesses on tiktok for example, so it is certainly worth considering for many young people like jenna in the uk , people like jenna in the uk, running their own business is a dream come true and despite the challenges, they're willing to work hard to make that dream a reality. >> sophie reaper gb news, who's look at that. >> you know, anyone can set up a business these days. all you needis business these days. all you need is your phone. i think it's great. >> seriously, i think all this talk about unemployment and, you know, there's no hope and people can't afford houses and all of this stuff. yeah. all right. there are difficulties out there. i'm not trying to diminish that. but actually, if you do have a lot of get up and go about you and you aren't prepared to hustle and duck and dive a bit, you can you can do. all right. you sound like you're

nagging everyone. well, you know , i'm just saying i'm not, you know, start your tiktok shop. i just think, look, maybe, maybe in life, some people are too afraid of failure to have a start to try. >> yes. well, yes. sometimes if you don't try. >> clearly. yeah. clearly. failing in public is something that's never troubled me. you know, i don't mind, you know i'll fail and keep failing. i'll fail again . i'll get up every fail again. i'll get up every day and fail. you know, it doesn't bother me. that's all. >> doing this business. it doesn't bother to get back up , doesn't bother to get back up, get back up and try again. but no, this is good. i mean , lots no, this is good. i mean, lots of young entrepreneurs. that's what we need in this country. we need people who are , you know, need people who are, you know, trying out new things while actually doing their 9 to 5. you might have a bit of a boring office job for your 9 to 5, but it pays the bills. and then, you know, from five till nine you can start selling things online, doing your marketing, doing your wedding creations, doing your whatever it is. i mean, there's one website where you basically it's just a forum for all of these young business, not young necessarily, but business people who do things like, you know,

add personalisations to slippers or personalisations to hoodies that you can wear and they just, you know, add a little bit extra and then they can sell them. >> so all about finding a niche, just find a little niche. there's loads of stuff that didn't exist ten years ago. and if you can get the next big thing, you know, i mean, look at people have made billions, billions on things like uber for example, and then uber eats and all of that stuff, you know, these things that we take for granted now didn't exist before. you know, you could be the next billionaire i'll leave you with is the rich list today, but the assumption that younger people have to work harder than previous generations. what do you make of that? that's a bit of a controversial one. >> as absolute rubbish. that is rubbish. now, young people going down the pit and then coming home to a house that doesn't have any central heating, and they've got an outside loo and they've got an outside loo and they've got an outside loo and they've got all of this to come on. >> so you think that's a load of rubbish? i'm interested to know. i'm interested to know what people at home, you know, have to say about that. you know, might have children, it might be struggling yourself, might have children, grandchildren who don't have a hope of getting on the housing ladder. do they have

to work harder or do they not work hard enough? >> let us know to mum and dad's house and watch netflix instead. right? coming up as devon's dirty water crisis continues to impact locals health, we will be crossing over to our southwest. reporter

>> well, have you seen the, the rich list, today, there's quite a few interesting , interesting a few interesting, interesting names on there. lots of young people, lots of under 40s, making it into the rich list. >> seven time formula one champion lewis hamilton has entered the sunday times rich list for the first time. >> paul mccartney is doing very well for himself. >> how much do you reckon lewis hamilton's worth , 200,000,350. hamilton's worth, 200,000,350. >> large, apparently. wow >> large, apparently. wow >> 350. >> 350. >> absolutely. just signed a new contract with ferrari . so that's contract with ferrari. so that's done it, the, ineos chief, sir jim ratcliffe and, new part owner of manchester united , is,

owner of manchester united, is, is worth where is it now ? let's is worth where is it now? let's have a look. somewhere in the region of 7.2 billion or something like that. i mean, it's absolutely unbelievable that he can fix the roof at old trafford now, can't he? >> and we've and we the taxpayers have made someone very, very rich indeed an essex business man who's been called. what's he being called? he's being called the migrant hotel. migrant hotel. king because he's been profiting off all these government contracts , putting up government contracts, putting up people, putting up asylum seekers in housing. he's getting all the money, raking that in, taking them, giving them travel and accommodation and all this, winning all these contracts . winning all these contracts. he's he's got apparently earning £3.5 million a day, a day off the back of the migrant crisis . the back of the migrant crisis. >> yeah. can you imagine, though, seriously earning £3.5 million? >> i can't imagine it. >> i can't imagine it. >> actually, i'd be dead in a week. absolutely. i'd be found face down on somewhere near my yacht in the maldives. just gone. you know. >> well, let's hope you never earn that much today, then.

look around, you can see the bottled water there. people have been handing them out, but it is definitely not as, not as busy as it was yesterday. people were getting 4 or 5 bottles to sort of keep them stocked up , and we of keep them stocked up, and we were talking earlier on at a local school that was closed yesterday. eden park school closed for the day yesterday. the open briefly in the morning for year six sat tests, but then they closed for the rest of the day. some of the parents were saying, you know, they weren't sure whether to send their their children to school or not. others saying that they'd rather not, and some saying, well, you know, the whole thing has been overblown by social media, let's have a listen to what they were saying earlier . saying earlier. >> fortunately, jeff, we don't we don't quite have we don't quite have those. we've been they've been interfered with. but we will have them. we will have them coming away very, very shortly. so that's jeff moody there, who's our gb news south—west of england . reporter, south—west of england. reporter, look, look, in all seriousness, in all seriousness, you know, people have been made very, very ill about all of this. and

the air and with warm sunshine in places, we are seeing the cloud development and the showers for many places during the rest of this afternoon and into the start of the evening, but overnight, as the temperatures tail away , we're temperatures tail away, we're going to see plenty of dry weather and some clear spells in the west, but cloudier skies elsewhere and where we've got the cloud 12 or 13 celsius by dawn, where we've got the clear spells into the single figures, many places will be dry as we start off the weekend. there'll be some sunshine around as well, but into the east of england , but into the east of england, especially east anglia and the far south—east, so into kent, for example, some showery rain starting to appear, 1 or 2 showers elsewhere across the south coast. wales, northwest england. plenty of sunshine. first thing, but for northeast england as well as eastern scotland, a lot of low cloud and mist. northern ireland seeing patchy cloud and mist as well. largely dry for scotland . some largely dry for scotland. some decent sunny spells in places and as we go through the morning actually, where we've got the layers of cloud that will tend

britain. it's 2:00 on friday, the 17th of may. >> moroccan asylum seeker ahmed ali ali has been sentenced to a minimum term of 44 years for brutally murdering pensioner terence carney. he told police it was for the sake of palestine. but why are we paying for his prison sentence? >> plus, the rich list is out. is rishi sunak richer than the king who's making megabucks off the migration crisis and could britain be home to the first 9yp5y britain be home to the first gypsy billionaire? >> wow. and the south west water boss says that she's truly sorry. after a parasite outbreak in devon's water system continues to impact locals health. we will be joined by the mp for the area very shortly. yes. okay. well, look, a mixture of light and shade coming your way this hour. make sure that you do get in touch. cheers. gbnews.com/yoursay we've got it

in front of me, so we need to actually get to some of that this hour. i promise that we will. but what we are going to be leading in with is whether or not actually we are just a soft touch. here in britain, you've got a chap who's come across 13 different european countries, managed to settle here despite not having his asylum claim processed and then goes to on attempt to murder one individual and does murder another. and now we have to look after it for the next 40 odd years. how big a problem is all of that? >> yes. what do you make of that at home? that he's going to be living the rest of his life in a prison ? in our prison system, we prison? in our prison system, we know that our prisons are extremely overcrowded. it feels like we're reporting on that every single day . doesn't seem every single day. doesn't seem like there are many plans to increase the number of prisons we have, or at least the spaces we're told every day how slow the criminal justice system is, how overburdened it is. and now this man who hadn't had his asylum claim confirmed in this country is going to be living out the rest of his years in our prisons at a tremendous cost to the taxpayer. i would imagine so

should in these types of cases. should it be that someone like this is deported to their country of origin, or do you prefer that he is in our prison system and gets the punishment that he deserves right here in britain? let us know. gbnews.com/yoursay your say, we're also going to be speaking to the mp down in devon, who's probably been hearing a lot from his constituent about this water issue. so we'll be asking him all about that. >> used to be a thing, didn't it, when you used to go abroad? i don't know whether this was just my mum or whether this was everybody's mum, but oh, don't dnnk everybody's mum, but oh, don't drink the tap water. can't drink the tap water abroad. it was always a big thing. well now that's the same over here. apparently in some parts we're going backwards. but anyway. well, of all of this, after your headunes well, of all of this, after your headlines with severe. >> patrick. thank you. good afternoon from the gb newsroom at 2:00. your top story. a moroccan asylum seeker has been jailed for life with a minimum

term of 45 years for murdering a pensioner in an attack motivated by the conflict in gaza . ahmed by the conflict in gaza. ahmed ali stabbed 70 year old terence carney, six times in hartlepool, in what was intended as revenge for the israel—hamas conflict. he told police the attack , a he told police the attack, a week after the hamas attacks on israel, was for the people of gaza and he had wanted to kill more victims . a lead was also more victims. a lead was also found guilty of the attempted murder of his housemate , who he murder of his housemate, who he had attacked before the fatal stabbing of mr carney . the stabbing of mr carney. the chancellor, jeremy hunt, has declined to give a cast iron guarantee of tax cuts, while insisting the tax burden would go down under a future conservative government but he warns that labour will be forced to raise taxes to pay for their spending pledges, as he reiterated his own commitment to eliminating national insurance. speaking in london this morning, the chancellor accused his shadow rachel reeves are resorting to playground politics with her criticism of the high levels of taxation on uk

households. >> it comes to labour policies on jobs, welfare reform and tax. the difference if they are elected , will be profound and elected, will be profound and damaging for every family in the country. labour like to criticise recent tax rises, thinking people don't know what caused them, the furlough scheme, the energy price guarantee and billions of pounds in cost of living support. but labour supported those policies, which is why it is playground politics to use those tax rises to distract debate from the biggest divide in british politics today. what happens to the tax burden next? >> meanwhile, shadow financial secretary james murray says it's time for change. >> there's a desperate attempt to distract by jeremy hunt from the conservative's record in office. we know the tax burden is set to be the highest in 70 years. the average household is going to be £870 worse off and frankly, they're probably trying to distract from their own £46

billion unfunded commitment to aboush billion unfunded commitment to abolish national insurance . i abolish national insurance. i think all this underscores is it's think all this underscores is wsfime think all this underscores is it's time for change and it's time for general election. >> south west water says cow manure could have led to the outbreak of a parasitic disease in devon that has led to dozens of people experiencing vomiting and diarrhoea . it is thought a and diarrhoea. it is thought a damaged air valve on a pipe in a field containing cattle has been identified as a potential site of the outbreak. bottled water has been handed out to residents as people have been told to stop using tap water for drinking without boiling it first, and schools have been forced to shut . exchequer secretary to the treasury gareth davies says it's important to hold water companies to account. >> well, it's a very troubling development that we're hearing in devon. of course it is. we've taken very tough action to strengthen the powers of the regulator to allow them to hold companies to account, as the chancellor has just said, we've seen significant investment as a result of privatisation. the

only water company, in addition to the one that the chancellor referenced, that is worse is in scotland, which is not privatised. and so this is a matter of holding companies to account, making sure that they're investing in this government is focused on making sure that happens . sure that happens. >> in other news, french police have shot dead a man who tried to set fire to a synagogue in the northwestern city of rouen . the northwestern city of rouen. it's reported that the man was armed with a knife and an iron bar, and threw a firebomb inside the building before police shot him. police were called out at around 645 this morning after local reports of smoke seen rising from the synagogue. the mayor of rouen said the attack on the synagogue didn't just affect the jewish community, but the entire city was battered and in shock and the personal fortune of prime minister rishi sunak and his wife, akshata murty, rose by more than £120 million over the past year. mr sunak and mr murtys wealth is judged to be £651 million in the

times in hartlepool in october and told police that it was in protest against the israel and gaza conflict. >> now he was also found guilty of the attempted murder of his housemate, who he had attacked before the fatal stabbing of mr carney. this on the grounds that he had converted to christianity. let's cross to teesside crown court to gb news reporter anna riley. anna thank you very much indeed. you heard what the judge had to say, on what the judge had to say, on what basis was this sentence handed out ? handed out? >> yes, the judge here, mrs. justice cheema—grubb, said that alid had committed terrorist offences when he murdered 70 year old terence carney and for the attempted murder of his housemate, javid nouri. she told alid that he had hoped to frighten the people of britain and undermine on the freedoms they enjoy. when he murdered mr

carney in a terrorist attack. she said that alid had attacked an unarmed and elderly man who was unable to defend himself . was unable to defend himself. she also said that the jury had seen through alids lies after he claimed the explanations he gave to police had been mistranslated , and that political and religious causes were not his actual motivation. she said that they were, and that he was motivated covid by the attack of hamas on israel on october the 7th, with this attack on mr carney and mr nouri happening on october the 15th, she also read out victim statements as well from mr carney's wife, patricia . from mr carney's wife, patricia. she said that her husband went out walking early every morning because he enjoyed the peace and quiet on the street. that peace and quiet, though, was cruelly

shattered by alid when he stabbed mr carney six times, fatally and killed him. in a statement to the court, mrs. carney said terence, who they called tess, was doing what he had always done and enjoyed doing. he was taking a walk on a street he believed to be safe and a chance encounter with this man ended his life. she said that she'd been with mr carney from a young age, and that although they'd been living separately for a few years , they separately for a few years, they were still very much close. they shared children together and grandchildren. she said that she could no longer go into town because it was too painful to be near the spot where her husband was murdered . and she said, from was murdered. and she said, from that day on, my life would be forever changed. i don't feel anything anymore for. the court heard that alid attempted to kill his iranian housemate, javid nouri, because he regarded him as an apostate. he'd convert

from islam to the christian faith. javid nouri gave a victim statement. he said since the attack, he did not trust anyone or anything and that all thoughts and feelings he had of being safe in a safe country had gone. he was seeking asylum from iran , he said. i would expect to iran, he said. i would expect to be arrested and killed in my home country for converting to christianity. but here i did not expect to be attacked in my sleep. how is it possible for someone to destroy someone's life because of his religion? he went on to say that he struggled with mental health problems and had to move to another area in england, away from his friends. he said, i want to tell ahmed you are a weak person because of your religion. you attack someone in deep sleep and an old man who struggled to walk . man who struggled to walk. counter terrorism policing north east have also been involved in this investigation, along with

cleveland police. they said in this case, it was appropriate that the decision to declare this horrific incident as an act of terrorism was made once all the evidence had been heard by the evidence had been heard by the court . the court. >> thank you very much, sir anna riley there, who's at teesside crown court for us. gb news reporter anna riley on a deeply, deeply distressing and infuriate hating case. >> yeah, incredibly sad to hear the victim's personal statement and the families to absolutely shocking, i believe we have a statement here to read out. do we from the carney family, they say we would not want anyone else to have to go through what we have had to go through over the last six months, and what we will continue to go through for the rest of our lives. for us, things will never be the same again. yes, he may have a life sentence, but, family vie to just avoidable, isn't it all of this avoidable? >> you know, the overwhelming response here in the gb news inbox? is that why on earth was this individual even here?

really? here's the main problem. and also people saying he'll ipp that the uk could pay for him to serve his sentence in in a moroccan prison instead. and maybe that will be money better spent. but we are moving on now because devon is still in the gnps because devon is still in the grips of a contaminated water crisis with southwest water saying that cattle manure might have led to the outbreak of a parasitic disease in the area. >> yes, thousands have been told to stop using tap water altogether without boiling it first, and locals have been handed bottled water. >> yeah, indeed. this is the kind of stuff that you used to happen abroad. but anyway, it's happening here. let's find out now what's going on by speaking to the mp for totnes, anthony mangnall. anthony, thank you very much. great to have you on the show. how serious is this? what's going on? >> well, thank you for having me. i'm sorry i have to be on the show talking about this issue in the first instance because it should never be happening, certainly not in the 21st century. in the united kingdom, it is serious. of course it's serious. you know, 40,000 people across south devon are without drinkable water at the moment. and so it is an

enormous source of frustration, indeed, anger with how southwest water has operated. and this goes right to the top. and it's deeply frustrating because we started off this week being misled that it was nothing to do with southwest water. and now we find out that it is to do with southwest water. so, you know, what i want to see is a speedy resolve to the whole issue. >> and, anthony, have you managed to have any conversations sat down or over the phone or or whatever with southwest water have cut off? >> but if i was getting the drift of your question, you were saying , have i had any contact saying, have i had any contact with executives from southwest water? the answer is yes. i've had extensive meetings with them, but also with defra, ukhsa officials, local . authorities, officials, local. authorities, brixham town council, torbay authority as well . but the most authority as well. but the most important thing right now is to make sure that we can get this issue resolved, that we can get our water back online so that people have comfort and security in knowing that they've got good quality drinking water at their

disposal and to be honest, that is my absolute number one priority. after which, and forgive me, i'm just speaking a little bit longer because i can't hear you. i'm just going to say we have to find out what has caused this. and we have to hold southwest water to account. as i said at the beginning, it's absolutely essential that we find out the cause and then make sure that they are accountable, both to the residents and indeed to politically elected officials as well. okay . as well. okay. >> can you now hear us? now, last but of course, i'll make myself available if you'd like to speak to me at any other length on on this topic, that's absolutely fine. i think we'll have to leave that there. but good stuff . and he's off good stuff. and he's off already, so he's got work to do. he's well he was up. >> he's he was at the water bottle, station wasn't he, where they're handing out these water bottles, i imagine. how many water bottles they've had to find and give out. hardly good for the environment. >> not hardly good for environment now. no, no, but look, this is this is astonishing, actually. i mean, he's he's absolutely spot on about the idea that this should not be allowed to happen. i think i think people are willing people are willing to accept

mistakes in certain things, aren't they? things can happen, but it's usually the denial that gets you in the end. denial. if south west water were denying that it was much to do with them. meanwhile, people are continuing to drink, pollute the tap water. well, they need to get that problem sorted quickly. we're hearing a heck of a lot, aren't we, about how water companies at the moment in britain are just treating this country with utter contempt? >> yeah, i mean, stuff into the river. how many litres of sewage has been pumped into our waterways? i mean, this sounds as though it's quite different to that. so this is another issue that's in our country with this water crisis that's ongoing, but yeah, very worrying for a lot of people. and hopefully they sort it out sooner rather than later. i mean, it's not ideal having to always drink bottled water or boil it first. i mean, who has time to do that? well, yeah. >> no, no, absolutely. especially people with young kids or anything like that. it's easy to do. you're going to have schools around devon now aren't you? where people are, you know, desperately trying to tell the young children, do not drink from the tap, do not drink from

the tap. and no, that's a debate, though. >> that's, raging, should, schools close because of this? should they just bring in the bottled water, bring in the bottled water, bring in the bottled water? >> i don't think we need to. i don't think our lives need to gnnd don't think our lives need to grind to a halt, do they? because of the just because of one lousy parasite. >> well, jeff spoke to a chap who was driving to get his bottled water, and he took the attitude , you know, keep calm. attitude, you know, keep calm. carry on. this is all going very well, and i'm sure they'll find out. what's the problem, then? >> all i know that some people are joking in the in box in front of me here. that, well, if the tap water is not working, i suppose what you could do is take the day off work and go to the pub instead. you wouldn't necessarily have to drink tap water. >> yes, the beer is not contaminated. no. >> there you go. so you know, maybe there is. maybe there is an upside to this, jeff moody, who is our reporter down there at the scene, has actually been talking to some locals about all of this. so let's hear from them. >> oh, very. >> oh, very. >> yeah , very happy with it >> yeah, very happy with it because they've got more than they need to drink in their bag. >> so yes, the school was closed yesterday, so we had two

children off school and had to find alternative childcare, which was a pain obviously, but it's a situation that we're in right now. so, because ukip the water situation, yeah, we have taken our precautions and he's got his bottle of water as well . got his bottle of water as well. >> but like, yeah, it's a risk at like, you either got clean, clean water and or is it going to continue? >> think about it for quite a while. as to whether it was safe or not. but it says on the website that they've had a fresh water supply delivered. so well. >> it was a lovely day down there at least. well anyway, that makes it worse, though, doesn't it? >> because you probably desperate for just a >> because you probably desperate forjust a drink of desperate for just a drink of really cold water at the tap or something like that, etc. but, anyway. well, look, we obviously wish everybody down there well, and everybody who is ill a speedy recovery and yeah, just stay vigilant , stay vigilant. stay vigilant, stay vigilant. i hope this is a isolated issue just in that part of the country. and it's not something that's going to spread, not something is going to spread everywhere. >> no. but coming up you may have seen some coverage of a

certain patrick christys in cambridge yesterday. he was confronting a pro—palestine protests with none other than, suella. braverman. >> yeah. i mean, well, you'll see what happened if you're not already, but we'll be showing you clips

>> well, a very good afternoon to you. now, patrick was in cambridge yesterday, along with the former home secretary, suella braverman, and they confronted pro—palestinian protesters with a few questions, these protests are taking place right across the country . right across the country. >> well, yeah, well, they are they are indeed. they confront is a strong word, to be fair. but yeah. >> no, you tried to speak to them. >> yeah. well look, suella braverman was very keen to genuinely try to engage with some of these people, to try to understand and maybe have some kind of discussion with them.

and she has some personal skin in the game. she went to cambridge university herself. cambridge, of course, is seen as an envoy of ours around the world. so, you know, it was important, i think, to try to understand what was going on there. and let's have a little look what are you here protesting about ? might not get protesting about? might not get a better opportunity than this to talk to what's your message to talk to what's your message to the palestinian people ? to the palestinian people? >> what's your message to hamas ? >> what's your message to hamas? >> what's your message to hamas? >> yeah. so there was a heck of a lot of that. and i think one of the key points there is, is, you know, there's two ways to look at this. it's either that they thought that suella braverman is contemptible and beneath them or as i really think the reality was, having been there was that they didn't want to engage with her for a couple of reasons. firstly they probably didn't want to get outwitted, but secondly as well is that when you do actually engage with these people, as we did last night on my show , when did last night on my show, when somebody from the revolutionary communist party decided to turn up. their views are exposed and their views often are quite astonishing. >> may i just say, because i

thought when you when i heard that you were going down there with suella braverman, i assumed that the, the possibility would be that there was a lot of shouting and a lot of pushback, vocal pushback. it's quite incredible that the absolute reverse seemed to happen when suella and yourself just asked bafic suella and yourself just asked basic questions. not in a nasty way, not in a confrontational way, not in a confrontational way, not in a confrontational way, not in a gotcha way. just asking basic questions of people who are protesting and are passionate about something , presumably. >> well, look. and also as well, again , i'm going to be talking again, i'm going to be talking a little bit more about this on my show this evening. but something thatis show this evening. but something that is quite telling, i think, was as i was on the train on the way back from cambridge, my phone started going off and for all of this talk of this wall of silence that we were met with, etc, i started to get messages from people who were actually at the university who were who were at those protests there, who actually said to me, look, i would have quite like to have spoken to you. is there any chance you might be able to come on your show? to which we said yes, and anyway, former home

secretary suella braverman did actually clash with a pro—palestine student, fiona lally. i'm going to stop calling her a pro—palestine student. i just call her exactly what she is. and this is her own. her own composition of herself is a revolutionary communist. so there we go. >> doing, is a genocide and that's moving towards a genocide. let's stick to and i think that and i think, okay, let's stick to facts. that is 40,000 people dead more than that, that's injured , millions that, that's injured, millions of people displaced. >> there is no evidence for a genocide, no evidence. >> second thing, i would also say is that that real the we're going back to the marches now, the issue of the marches, of course, everybody has the right to peaceful protest and expressing their views. but what we have seen and i'd be interested in your views, is anti—semitism , we've seen from anti—semitism, we've seen from the river to the sea, palestine will be free. that is an anti—semitic chant calling for the eradication of israel, the

eradication of israelis and the eradication of israelis and the eradication of israelis and the eradication of jewish people. >> you're like, you're a liar on every single one of these mass protests . that's right. there is protests. that's right. there is a huge jewish block in all of these encampments, the encampments that you went to today, even in cambridge , today, even in cambridge, talking about all this kind of stuff, the cambridge group, cambridge jews for justice, they said you are weaponizing their identity to promote a culture war. and that's all this is because you've got no actual real policies or statements or anything to offer people in this country. let's be honest, the reason you're here and the reason you're here and the reason you're here and the reason you went today is because you want to be the leader of the tory party >> yes, there's another clip a bit later on in that interview where one of the issues, i think, for some of the students is that, it turns out shock, horror that actually that individual . horror that actually that individual. fiona. well, it's not that much of a shocker. she's a communist, is it? her main motivation is to bring down capitalism. but then on top of that, when she's asked, were women sexually abused on october 7? she doesn't seem willing to engage with that, does she

condemn hamas? doesn't want to engage with that at all. does israel have a right to exist? nothing on that whatsoever as well. should hamas release the hostages? nothing on that at all ehhen hostages? nothing on that at all either. and so when you realise that those are actually the views of a lot of people who are in these encampments , as you in these encampments, as you understand and start to understand and start to understand why they don't want to talk to you when the cameras are there. >> yeah . all the stuff about she >> yeah. all the stuff about she goes on and on ranting about capitalism and how it's the cause of all our woes , whilst cause of all our woes, whilst calling herself a communist revolutionary. and one does wonder , whether she's thought wonder, whether she's thought about how many people have died , about how many people have died, in history because of communism , in history because of communism, it's just it's just crazy. no no thought to actually what capitalism is and has done for people, has brought to people . people, has brought to people. it's all about bringing down the tory government. it's all about bringing down, dismantling capitalism, whatever that means.

and it's all meshed into one, isn't it? yeah, it's all meshed into one. she didn't seem to want to actually speak too much about the conflict in gaza. do you want to talk at all? it was more about the tories being evil. it was all about suella being a racist and a liar, childish. i thought the discussion was at the end of the day, there are a lot of people out there who , on their own out there who, on their own terms, are more than willing to make a lot of noise about this cause, whether it's out there every single weekend on the streets of london, whether it's occupying universities , whether occupying universities, whether it's making really quite audacious, outrageous demands and saying we will not stop until these demands are met. >> shouting , screaming, >> shouting, screaming, intimidating people, all of that stuff, they're to prepared do that, but they're not prepared a lot of the time. unfortunately to debate or engage, i will say, hats off to fiona for actually coming into the studio and talking about that. people may disagree with her views, but at least she was there looking a former home secretary in the eye and saying, which is more than can be said for a lot of people. i also think fair play to suella braverman. it is not every single day that a former home

secretary decides to put themselves out there. there were massive amounts of risk there. it could have got physical. i mean, there was a lot of evidence to suggest it might have done at the previous rallies, so fair enough to swallow braverman for doing that. also, putting herself in what is potentially a quite risky, possibly embarrassing situation surrounding yourself with people who hate you, right? absolutely hate you . and then absolutely hate you. and then coming on and sitting on the sofa in this studio and debating someone. fair play to her. >> i mean, suella doesn't hold back.i >> i mean, suella doesn't hold back. i mean, she has called these protests and these marches hate marches. so if you believe that you are actually in favour of peace , you might find that an of peace, you might find that an affront. but good on suella to be fair for trying to confront it head on. i'm sure she would have had a discussion about whether or not these are hate marches with whoever had wanted to speak to her. at least that's the impression i got . that's the the impression i got. that's the impression i got, yes. >> well, look, there's going to be a lot more unique that there's going to be a lot more on this 9 to 11 pm. this evening. and, yeah, there is quite a bit more footage from from what happened yesterday as well . so yes, we'll have loads

well. so yes, we'll have loads more on that. we're also going to be talking a bit later on this show about the times rich list. do you care how rich ? list. do you care how rich? rishi sunak. and crucially, his wife are really are. so we're talking about all of that. shall we introduce a wealth tax? >> good afternoon. it's 230. i'm sophia wenzler in the gb newsroom . a moroccan asylum newsroom. a moroccan asylum seeker has been sentenced to a minimum of 44 years and 52 days for murdering a pensioner in an attack motivated by the conflict in gaza . ahmed al fayed stabbed in gaza. ahmed al fayed stabbed 70 year old terence carney six times in hartlepool in what was intended as a revenge for the israel—hamas conflict. he told police the attack was after a hamas attack on israel was for the people of gaza, and he had wanted to kill more victims . al wanted to kill more victims. al fayed was also found guilty of the attempted murder of his

i >> -- >> well. good afternoon. britain. it's 236 now. the sunday times rich list has now been released. and some are cashing in on broken britain and making millions. yeah, yeah. >> this guy, migrant hotel king graham king has entered the rich list with £750 million. this is after capitalising on the asylum seeker crisis. interesting this though, because it's like you know, is he actually selling britain out or is he a great businessman. >> well, certainly an opportunist. perhaps the uk's richest gypsy. alfie best nears his first billion from his caravan park empire, where he invested in us style caravan parks and has billed them as a solution to britain's social housing crisis . well, there you housing crisis. well, there you go. megabucks in the us style caravan parks . caravan parks. >> yeah, it's definitely solved any crisis in his life, hasn't it? if he's on his way to his first billion, joining us now is robert watt, who has compiled killed the sunday times rich list. robert, thank you very

much. okay. look, how do you verify how wealthy these people actually are? >> i wish i could say my life was jumping from one super yacht to the next. >> it's not. 90% of what i do is trawling through very boring , trawling through very boring, accounts, registers of , accounts, registers of, shareholder registers of public companies , publicly available companies, publicly available information that anyone could do, i guess, and then forensically monitoring the sort of financial press as well, but also about 50% of the people on the sunday times rich list, talk to us about their valuation. we've been doing this a long time. we've been doing this for 36 years. a lot of those people consider what we do to be a matter of public record, and as a result , they'll share stuff a result, they'll share stuff with us. >> now, we've got to be careful , >> now, we've got to be careful, haven't we? >> that what they're showing us is correct , because we have all is correct, because we have all sorts of people trying to force their way up the list, down the list on the list. so that's very interesting. >> the list. sorry, sorry. just on that. so do you have people

who are trying to get themselves off the rich list? >> absolutely. and there was a lot of that in about 2019 when some of these people thought that jeremy corbyn was about to become the prime minister. and they they approached me and said, i think i'd like to be off this year, please, if you don't mind, just slightly concerned . mind, just slightly concerned. i'll be first against the wall if the revolution comes . and i if the revolution comes. and i said, i'm sorry. we're a newspaper. we're a media organisation . we don't. we? it's organisation. we don't. we? it's not me who we're trying to do something serious here, and track the wealth of, of britain's wealthiest 350 people. we can't choose whether you're on it or off. >> robert . it's on it or off. >> robert. it's very on it or off. >> robert . it's very interesting >> robert. it's very interesting what you say about. yes, a lot of this information is publicly available. we don't want to put you out of a job, though . you out of a job, though. clearly, a lot of work goes into this, so a lot of this information is publicly available. you then talk to about half of them to sort of verify how much money they've got, but obviously you can't go into their bank accounts. so is most of this based on property

and business, portfolios rather than, you know, what's actually cold, hard cash in their bank account? >> yeah, exactly. most of the wealth that we're talking about here is tied up in companies , here is tied up in companies, and, and property , most of it by and, and property, most of it by far, in terms of companies and a lot of it is sort of valuing companies and putting a which is the real sort of, sort of science, really. and what i do in terms of looking at a company and you do value it usually by how much profits it's made in the last year. and you use a multiple of eight or perhaps ten times, depending on what the, what the sector is. i won't get too into the weeds of that because i'll send the viewers to sleep, but then there are a lot of people will share information with me, like for example, you know, bank balances , i will be know, bank balances, i will be sent tax returns and, and financial statements because for some of these people, they feel we live in a society where great sportsmen are recognised for their achievements. great great,

great musicians are celebrated writers, even politicians, even , writers, even politicians, even, but often with business people, successful self—made entrepreneurs aren't. and so they feel that the sunday times rich list does that. now, that's not really the reason we do it. we do it because for two reasons, really, because we think it's an important part of a democracy that you know, where wealth lies and where it's being accumulated. and we know that also that a lot of our readers find, particularly the self—made entrepreneurs on our list. and that's why a majority of the people now on the sunday times rich list, they find these people inspiring. >> and i'm about to ask you that. do you find them? do you find this inspirational ? because find this inspirational? because a lot of people look at this type of list with absolute disgust. i mean, let's be frank. you talked about some of them being worried about jeremy corbyn, but it's true. a lot of people , you know, we've got people, you know, we've got a cost of living crisis. a lot of people who are very poorly paid or having to rely on welfare. and then they see this list of

these mega rich people who wouldn't think twice about spending, you know, £5,000 on a bottle of champagne. >> we've got a, a feature this year on a yacht that costs £284,000 a day to hire. wow. i mean , it is it is extraordinary. mean, it is it is extraordinary. but there will be people who are watching this today who think that, billionaires are part of a problem about what's wrong with britain today. and there'll be others who think they're part of the solution . but we need our the solution. but we need our economy needs people who create jobs not by the ten or by the 20, but by thousand . the and the 20, but by thousand. the and the sunday times rich list is full of those people. now, what we've seen in the last year for the first time, really is a fall in the number of uk billionaires. we're seeing a number of things . we're seeing a number of things. we're seeing a number of things. we're seeing a number of things. we're seeing some of them, their their businesses aren't performing as well, partly because of higher interest rates, partly because of persistent inflation and slower economic growth . but we're also economic growth. but we're also seeing some of the global super

rich who've come to the uk in recent years have left. and we're also seeing fewer of the global super rich coming here. and it's an interesting debate , and it's an interesting debate, isn't it? you know, do we do we as us muggles ? do we benefit as us muggles? do we benefit from having these people? well, actually some of them we really do. and we would struggle to, our economy would struggle if more of them left. >> can i just one final one with you? because there was, well, a few that stand out to me, but one that i just thought was particularly interesting was this migrant hotel king. right. because this this is an industry that presumably didn't really exist a few years ago. and he's managed to, you know, smash it, hasn't he really? i mean , what, hasn't he really? i mean, what, 3.5 million a year? 3.5? no, i think 3.5 million a day a day. >> sorry a day. >> sorry a day. >> yeah. okay could you just show a bit more light or light on this guy then please? >> he's an extraordinary. it's an extraordinary story. this and this is one of the reasons why you may not like the rich list. you may think it's a bit blingy for you, but it's a he is a very good example of why we this work is it needs to be done really we should know where wealth is being tracked. so graham king 25

years ago, what was he doing? he was running a cab firms in canvey island. as far as we as far as we're aware, running nightclubs and teen discos. and he had the, understood that, there was a need from the home office to find accommodation for asylum seekers, for refugees , asylum seekers, for refugees, and he got into it. in about 2000. he founded his business, then and clearsprings his business. we know it's the vast majority of its turnover are now these mega contracts with the home office to , provide home office to, provide accommodation and transport services and food for asylum seekers. the annual turnover of the business is £13 billion. and he's very, very quiet and no interest in a public profile whatsoever . but exactly the sort whatsoever. but exactly the sort of person who we're we're trying to we're trying to keep an eye on and understand with what we're what we do, which you can read now. it's all on live now,

i know we have a sunday times rich list, but we launch on a friday, so you can head to the website now and read all about him and the 349 other people on the list as well. >> yes, robert, i was going to ask you whether he's, he spoke to you and whether he, you know, wanted to parade the fact that he's making so much money off these contracts. but you answered that. no, he absolutely does not want it. absolutely not. he'll be wanting to get off the list. >> well, i don't know. he's not engaged with this in any way. we've, we tried many times to talk to him, but we spoke to people who, around him. people who are, even people who've been working in his premises. and there's a great, profile of him and, and the business, on the sunday times, website now, which, which is a good read. now, there are some really more, i don't know, more inspiring entrepreneurs as well. if i could just mention one. yeah. a lovely husband and wife, from sheffield , who, the mum's a, was sheffield, who, the mum's a, was a nursery teacher and she said

getting good teaching aids to take to the nursery was really, really hard to find. so her, her husband, john started making making them for her, before he went to work as a solicitor. and late into the night that business twinkle, that they started from their back bedroom . started from their back bedroom. yeah. now employs more than 1000 people and it's worth 500 million. >> i used to do some teaching, of little kids. and i always used twinkle. i'm sure there are other providers out there, but it is a fantastic resource . it is a fantastic resource. thank you so much. so interesting to speak to the man who compiled all of this , robert who compiled all of this, robert watts, great to have your time. he is the compiler of the sunday times rich list. >> very interesting, i liked him. you've never heard of twinkle, have you, no. no, no, i also didn't know that you used to teach. but you learn something new every day. so there we go, should we serve venison in school? less is more. up my venison in school? less is more. up my street. one tory mp says it would help cull deer numbers as they surge to the highest level in 1000 years. other people say it just tastes nice

i >> right. well, it's 249. and, how would you feel if your child was served venison in school? >> absolutely brilliant . well, >> absolutely brilliant. well, it could soon become a reality as a group of mps have suggested that it should be served in schools and hospitals to help control britain's surging deer population . population. >> well, no natural predator in this country. deer numbers have risen to their highest in 1000 years, and they can cause critical damage to woodlands and farmland. the debate around culling deer was raised by jeremy clarkson, sexiest man in britain. excuse me? apparently, according to polling in an episode of clarkson's farm, in which the broadcaster goes out to shoot deer near his home. all right, we're okay. there's always another two.

>> let's get the let's get the thoughts now of the deputy director of the conservative environment network is john flasher. john, thank you very, very much. should we be serving venison to kids and people in hospitals? i certainly think so. it's been a huge problem in recent years. >> we stopped culling deer dunng >> we stopped culling deer during the pandemic for two years. that's led as you've said, to a huge surge in the deer population over the last couple of years. >> they're causing huge damage to cars with through vehicle collisions to woodlands, as we're trying to plant more trees, which is something i think everybody wants to see. >> and also to farmland and to farmers crops. >> this is a great way of deaung >> this is a great way of dealing with it. >> we've got a huge and abundant supply of this meat that we're just not using. >> we're exporting it. >> we're exporting it. >> we're exporting it. >> we're throwing it away. and that's why we're calling, along with a group of conservative mps, to try and get it onto our menus and give people the choice to have it and use this great supply of this very healthy meat that we've got available to us. okay look, someone's been in touch here, kaz, who says

serving venison in schools would just promote veganism? no kid would want to eat bambi, now, would want to eat bambi, now, would they? i mean, you know, it's not going to be to everyone's taste. i, you know, this is about promoting choice fundamentally. and, you know, i don't know about you. i remember my school dinners in the 90s were pretty grim, not a great deal of choice, not a great deal of anything particularly exciting. >> i think this would be really nice to try something new. >> i think, as i say, it won't to be everybody's taste, but i'd be really, really keen to try something new. >> and certainly when my daughter's starting school in september, i'd be really up for trying this. but it won't be for everyone, i mean, john, i think probably for a lot of animal lovers, just the idea of culling deer , would make them make them deer, would make them make them wince. why is it so important? if it is, why can't we live alongside the deer? >> well, we can, and we should live alongside deer. >> though this isn't talking about trying to eradicate our deer population. >> it's about bringing it down to sustainable numbers. >> you know, it's now something like 2 million deer across the uk, and a lot of the animal lovers you reference also will care very deeply about the

environment and care about our ability to plant trees and grow new woodlands. >> deer are a huge problem with tackling environmental challenges like that as well. and you know, and all the benefits that come with trees. so this isn't about trying to eradicate deer at all. this is about trying to bring the population down to sustainable levels so we can actually deliver on our environmental benefit, deliver on supplying food, growing on farms which deer are also a real menace for, and actually make sure that we can get some healthy meat onto people's plates . people's plates. >> i'm i'm completely in favour of it. and it is. and it is healthy. it's lean. it's healthy as well. christine's got a good idea getting round the old bambi issue. excuse me as well. which issue. excuse me as well. which is that , you know, it's also is that, you know, it's also versatile. you put it in burgers, cottage peelers and all of that stuff. you don't necessarily have to have a whopping great big lump of venison on a plate and maybe really hammer it home to kids. this is a new type of dead animal they're eating, i suppose. look, john, we could talk about this all day, but thank you very, very much for coming in and putting the case for venison and controlling deer populations across, as well as

john fletcher, the director of the conservative environment network, i think is a good idea . network, i think is a good idea. we should be doing it, but an interesting one. >> but, that's it from us today. thank you for being tom harwood today. >> i thoroughly enjoyed it, but that's it, don't worry though, because, martin daubney is up next, and he joins us now, martin, very nice to see you on this friday afternoon. what have you got in store ? you got in store? >> great natural chemistry. guys. you should get to know each other better. i think you'd really get on. we live in a country where the where the prime minister is richer than the king. what does that tell us? >> plus, should we take palestinian refugees to the uk? >> 50 mps and piercing think so. they obviously haven't seen the data from denmark. 64% of those taken in by that country ended up with criminal records. an inspiring story from ireland where builders, when they learned they were building a migration centre for asylum seekers, downed tools and stopped working when the locals made them understand their plight and finally, extraordinary scenes. the fifa

organising is actually holding an emergency meeting to contemplate kicking israel out of world football . you could not of world football. you could not make it up . make it up. >> wow, wow, that's my show. >> wow, wow, that's my show. >> i'm a little bit early there. >> i'm a little bit early there. >> also , i've got the rich list. >> also, i've got the rich list. >> also, i've got the rich list. >> cheers. >> cheers. >> yeah. no, look, my, my, that's top drawer. that is disgraced. if you shot me with that fifa story, i think i might be. i might decide to cover that later on my show as well. take care. right. thank you very much, everybody. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hello and welcome to the latest forecast from the met office for gb news. plenty of warm, sunny spells this weekend, but it won't be sunny or indeed dry everywhere. there will be some cloud development. there'll be some showers here and there. we're in between high pressure and low pressure at the moment . and low pressure at the moment. weather fronts are tending to stay away, but there is a feature that's been bringing

some heavy rain to germany over the last couple of days, and that's just going to swing some cloud and outbreaks of rain into the far south—east and east anglia overnight . and there'll anglia overnight. and there'll be some low cloud drifting into eastern scotland, north east england so grotty conditions. first thing here on saturday. otherwise further west plenty of sunny spells, a fresh start but soon enough where we've got the sunshine it will warm up quickly. where we've got the low cloud, it's going to be slower to warm up and we will have some showery rain first thing along the south coast into kent, south wales, perhaps into southwest. as the morning goes on. wales, northwest england, southwest scotland, plenty of warm sunshine but northeast england into eastern scotland low cloud and mist. northern scotland likewise, that will take some time through the morning to burn back to the beaches. northern ireland lots of cloud first thing that will tend to break up and allow some sunny spells to come through as the day goes on. so for the majority it is looking like a fine day.

there'll be some decent sunny spells, but they'll also be showers developing as temperatures rise. the odd shower for wales, central and northern england, central scotland as well, particularly over the highlands, but the most frequent showers are likely towards the southwest. devon, cornwall, dorset, somerset could see some heavy downpours continuing into the evening, dying away overnight. so a dry start to the day on sunday. a lot of cloud first thing, particularly in the north and the east, but quickly there are some very pleasant, warm, sunny spells developing through the morning and into the afternoon. again, there'll be showers, but they're most likely to be focused towards the south—west. similar conditions on monday. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers , sponsors of boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on

gb news. >> a very good afternoon to you.

and a very happy friday, 3 pm. welcome to the martin daubney show on gb news. broadcasting live from the heart of westminster. all across the uk. on today's show, responding to sir keir starmer six step plan, the chancellor of the exchequer, jeremy hunt, today roared starmer will help himself to your families wallets. you also accused labour of fake news by scaring pensioners over national insurance reform. and he also called angela rayner's workers rights reforms an unmitigated tragedy. well, that's all fine and dandy, but can the tories offer voters a desperately needed tax cut next year? but have the shocking story of the asylum seeker who murdered a pensioner? ahmed al fayed claimed it was revenge for the israel—hamas conflict. he's now been jailed for life, with the minimum term of 45 years. and later in the show, i'll be joined by my in the studio, by my all star panel. and today i'll be asking them this question should britain accept

palestinian refugees? and can we
