no getting away. it. we tried, but we're not away from it. however, the story that i've picked out is the predator wanted by police when . he killed wanted by police when. he killed zara. and that's obviously heinous crime committed . jordan heinous crime committed. jordan mcsweeney , a zara olina in june mcsweeney, a zara olina in june of last year. now, i don't want to focus on the ins and of the case, okay? and i don't want to focus the terrible things that he did to that poor defence lawyer . what i do want to focus lawyer. what i do want to focus on, however are the police failings in the timeline in jordan life. one point he was he was wanted by the police on, not only one but 28 prior convictions . he was released only one but 28 prior convictions. he was released on licence on june the 17th and then he couldn't wasn't found for and he didn't up for his probation. two days later he committed this crime. now, mike really the current metropole and police chief commissioner i think really has to take on board lots of things that have

happened here. not only does the metropolitan and i don't want to make this specific the made i think this is a nationwide issue and i'm very for law order. however, the whatsapp groups the year ever out murder and the inability it would seem for anyone to actually motivate and want people to join the police force through diversity through social work . all mc mobility social work. all mc mobility seems to be bereft. you know there's nothing we seem to be able to be doing to filling the holes the met don't even interview their and i covered a story last summer they were doing the interviews over zoom and often the first time someone who wanted join the police would actually meet face to face. yes that was when the were getting for their uniforms. now i think it's i think it's it is a it is an issue i mean, i look i'm a i've always been a big supporter of the police. and i think they do a fantastic job that often under—resourced the dashing one

thing and whatever. thing to another and whatever. but have been some really but there have been some really poor systems feeling, so many poor systems feeling, so many poor failures have to be addressed. i have slightly addressed. i have a slightly sympathy with the police, because criminals getting more sophisticated in a way and they can disappear or they can connect with the police are becoming the criminals themselves . and that's themselves. and that's a separate issue . and then when separate issue. and then when you then say we want to recruit tens , thousands of police. this tens, thousands of police. this is what come to in a short space of you say crime is going up. the general behaviour of , the the general behaviour of, the pubucis the general behaviour of, the public is getting worse and we're going to recruit police. is there not a failing that when you drive in to get so many in a short space of time finding the people when we there's people when we know there's a 500,000 people decided to stop working full stop in any industry there is a is a lack talent a lack of labour you recruit like that you're obviously going to funnel going to get people who you don't nicest would like. well, i do not think that when people people who are up to no good

they look for professions where they're going to find the best cover on. well i'll say the police then go and cover for people know. so it is people you know. so it is inevitable i'm not going class people you know. so it is inevitthough1 not going class people you know. so it is inevitthough you: going class people you know. so it is inevitthough you should class people you know. so it is inevitthough you should do ss point though you should do double check if you know and not only that you know a bad police officer causes a lot of trouble and that's the you're talking about you as far rather as research has shown the bobbies were back on the beat does cut crime. absolutely now i'm not before come to henry because just a good segway into the story saw in today's daily telegraph what did they he did he did they brilliantly i might say so we've been giving the government quite a bit of stake recently, not least over budget. so i thought i'd balance a bit and give the prime minister some praise because on front page praise because on the front page of telegraph , rishi of the daily telegraph, rishi sunak's about the fears sunak's talking about the fears , safety of women and the sort of his wife and of mentions his wife and daughters. said something daughters. but he said something which very, very . he which i found very, very. he said he the prison said that he the prison population increasing as it was

the logical from his tough stance on crime. he said i want to reduce and that means i want to reduce and that means i want to make sure that catch criminals. so that's probably a logical consequence of catching more criminals. he's going to be part that we should charge more people and reduce crime and have them jail. and i say three cheers for the prime minister because . very few leading because. very few leading politicians say i want to send more criminals prison. you want to lock the windows is what you're saying. lock up. however, i don't want to be too cynical because. doom and because. there is no doom and gloom muldoon tell because. there is no doom and glocthis. muldoon tell because. there is no doom and glocthis. i muldoon tell because. there is no doom and glocthis. i thinkldoon tell because. there is no doom and glocthis. i think that] tell because. there is no doom and glocthis. i think that they're.l you this. i think that they're being lobbied by the private security systems are unfortunately running some of our . and i unfortunately running some of our. and i think that's you don't think your thoughts you're very cynical that barry said it's all so easy. the thing is we have this thing, we always have this in this country that we send so people to we send so many people to prison. yeah, actually, it's a complete myth. we send very few people is very difficult people to be is very difficult to in this to sent to prison in this country. i'm not suggesting you try well it is very it's

try it. well it is very it's very difficult . you know, there very difficult. you know, there was this i the house of commons live is a producer information from ago which asked for as from ages ago which asked for as a proportion crime. yeah how many people get to prison. well for every crimes committed in the uk , we send 18 people to the uk, we send 18 people to prison, which is one of the lowest rates in the world. america, it's over 100% of looking at the files being, saying why the what they're actually when they're in prison. well that's a different level there is that as our population of prisons you know that we need to help rehabilitate when there is a ups. well the best way to stop crime is to put criminals in prison. there's not send them to prison. that's a problem. he's out of the he's letting them out of the problem. if you problem. and equally, if you haven't prison, haven't got them in prison, then you you you can rehabilitate them. you should of time. should have the period of time. you rehabilitate them. you you can rehabilitate them. you rehabilitate some of them, but got to try with the is for the prime wanting to send them to prison have you got three prison henry have you got three cheese. well i don't i don't about that the story that the record that's a of record that's a basket of related which i at which related stories which i at which is that the senior

is the first is that the senior health service people are saying that way that we're that the only way that we're going clear the elective going to clear the elective surgery background that we've got it the health got out of it is if the health can become a seven day service. and some the stories, the and some of the stories, the numbers this are really numbers about this are really remarkable. apparently the nhs does of does less. 1/10 of the appointments on a saturday that it will do on a tuesday, for example. so there's a huge potential that potential scope that theoretically going on theoretically has been going on a time to getting people a long time to getting people through system. but then on through the system. but then on the other hand, the eu today, the other hand, in the eu today, hear even jeremy hear that even though jeremy hunt massive pot hunt gave the nhs a massive pot of might still need to of money, it might still need to make key services next make cuts to key services next yeah make cuts to key services next year. inflation year. we've inflation keeps going demands keep going up if wage demands keep going up if wage demands keep going up. and finally , i've got going up. and finally, i've got personal experience this personal experience with this last loads of last one. apparently loads of pharmacies find pharmacies struggling to find the open and in turn the staff to open and in turn puts more pressure on the puts even more pressure on the nhs. i just needed to nhs. was just i just needed to book appointment my book an appointment get this my blood taken some blood pressure taken some medicine days that medicine in the old days that would've pharmacy thing. medicine in the old days that woritd've pharmacy thing. medicine in the old days that worit yourself pharmacy thing. medicine in the old days that worit yourself now. 1armacy thing. medicine in the old days that worit yourself now. you acy thing. medicine in the old days that worit yourself now. you can't1ing. medicine in the old days that worit yourself now. you can't d0|. do it yourself now. you can't do it you need to be? it yourself. do you need to be? when doctor, like just when i was the doctor, like just walk pharmacy it walk into a pharmacy and get it done. pharmacies done. i called three pharmacies and they're like, this is ridiculous. don't this ridiculous. don't do this anymore. to put gp

anymore. you have to put your gp on. more pressure. so on. so that's more pressure. so i think a fascinating. do i think it's a fascinating. do you the seven day week you think the seven day a week is solution? was reading, if is a solution? i was reading, if you about how you think about it, how expensive that expensive equipment is that you've left you've got surgery sort of left vacant weekend. does vacant over weekend. it does seem could get rid of seem that you could get rid of the if could use two the backlog if you could use two extra a week. it was extra days a week. it it was three friday also three because friday is also i was pretty much basically got a four day week nhs at the moment which lot of people which not a lot of people realise. of realise. but the problem is of course that to pay the course that you need to pay the staff, need have staff, you need to have the staff, you need to have the staff to run the nhs on those days. so yes, in theory, but i think shows that even think it just shows that even after the highest think it just shows that even afteburden the highest think it just shows that even afteburden in the highest think it just shows that even afteburden in knowse highest think it just shows that even afte burden in knows how hest think it just shows that even afte burden in knows how many tax burden in knows how many decades at not decades we are looking at not having for the as having enough money for the as it is and having to spend even the never been funded more the has never been funded more than exactly you than has at that exactly you know funding or know for me is not funding or underfund dying the nhs it's underfund dying of the nhs it's mismanagement the and mismanagement the nhs and a really clear hare—clark date system is running, picking appointments and doing everything else. is it spent money on diversity and inclusion, training and more money and cleaning? bring back matrons by hospital, smell like hospital visits. isn't it

extraordinary that we're talking about having a seven day a week nhs? i mean should and shouldn't that as i mean? bp that be as a matter? i mean? bp i mean, this is problem . the i mean, this is the problem. the nhs, to me, that nhs, it seems to me, is that it's for convening of it's run for the convening of the people who work in rather the people who work in it rather than and it's like than i agree. and it's like saying, get ill a saying, well, don't get ill on a saturday sunday you saturday or sunday because you know, stuff. i mean the know, all the stuff. i mean the nhs should be a seven day a week service that's obvious as service surely that's obvious as well. give days. well. i still like to give days. i think you nobody does i mean, i think you nobody does that one day say you and i think no it's dangerous way in which you sort but you start for bank holidays but you stop for christmas day. would you stop produce sunday. well that's that's thing. wasn't that's the thing. no, i wasn't always always always like this should always be always be be people should always be people working. i mean, if you're your police officer, you're in your police officer, some will some police officers will be working christmas and working on christmas day and surely be any surely why should the nhs be any different . think the different. but i think the difference of people are only difference is of people are only going to their five day going to be doing their five day a week or whatever they're elected so elected or they just rotate. so i'm saying a single person i'm not saying a single person should doing seven days, so i'm saying it's work it out into the voter shifts . i've got something voter shifts. i've got something different this different too. and i think this

is a good point. this we is this is a good point. this we need to hire more male teachers and because you'll find nearly a third of schools do not have a male teacher. so is this primary schools this is all schools. it's in primary schools. what i'm it's so in secondary schools . so out of the 3240 schools, there is not a male teacher there. and people are saying you know, we haven't got a role model, a male role model for all those people. the research is by institute for social and economic research and the mp bringing it forward is a white uncle, and he said uncle, ben bradley, and he said look, we've quick to use look, we've been quick to use equality to encourage more equality laws to encourage more women rightly science women and rightly into science technology , maths, but we've not technology, maths, but we've not used it to get more male role models into , schools. and he's models into, schools. and he's saying this could help and really for young sort of middle work working class white boys who are falling behind in the education systems. now, one in 400 couples will only get married we've got one of the highest divorce rates. where are

the figures here? you know, the male figures here? you know, to help these young lads, girls will be fine because girls are emotionally wired differently from lads because i've got three girls of my own and i've got a son so i know what i'm talking about. and i think there was more masculine city within schools. i think would help schools. i think it would help everybody. i don't blame everybody. well, i don't blame the lads for not wanting to become because they're become teachers because they're hit many iq at times as hit with many iq at times as well. that would make their position on that and on top of that when you do become a male teacher they don't last as long as a male teacher. henry, i know . absolutely not. but also it's not just about role models. it's also the director also about the director assessment my, on, on school, assessment on my, on, on school, male know, male school because you know, one of the things we saw during the when people the pandemic when people were graded teacher assessment is that girls overtook boys in maths for the first time. and then all of a sudden when boys taking the exams again, boys retook that. that's of retook that. now that's one of the subjects, where the few subjects, i think, where they fact is that they still. but the fact is that learn and male learn differently and male teachers way of teachers understand way of learning better. and this is the

way of learning or is it they need stricter discipline of both. they need they need strength. they need need strength. they need need strength and discipline in the classroom. need more classroom. they need more understanding of the fact that some things well. some some other things as well. but are much but also, frankly, boys are much worse the theatre learning, worse. the theatre of learning, you are very good at you know, they are very good at cramming generally . cramming for an exam generally. obviously always obviously there's always a range, much worse at range, but they're much worse at being throughout being present throughout the year neet notes and year, the neet notes and everything and so if we everything else. and so if we have attention as have a lower attention span as well, do the example, you know, if ask a classroom of if you are to ask a classroom of kids, question the hands kids, a question puts the hands of always the boys of first. it's always the boys know, the girls know, it's the boys. girls usually know the usually back they might know the answer, but they sit answer, but they usually sit back don't the hands up. back and don't put the hands up. so are really enthusiastic. but think it is discipline on think it is the discipline on the you're thinking the role that if you're thinking about the education that is about the education gap that is opening between and opening up between boys and girls schools and girls in our schools now and then, you about the fact that we have overwhelmingly female have an overwhelmingly female teaching force, that's not surprising. you absolutely teaching force, that's not surprisi balance you absolutely teaching force, that's not surprisi balance because ;olutely teaching force, that's not surprisi balance because otherwise need a balance because otherwise you're just not going to be providing tailored providing boys the tailored education they need and the education that they need and the girls getting . henry hill, girls are getting. henry hill, thank you much , deputy thank you very much, deputy editor of course , i hope

editor there. of course, i hope you can stay with us, but you will staying with this . you will be staying with this. you will be staying with this. you will be staying with this. you will be back at 11:00 to look at the papers . but coming up after the papers. but coming up after the papers. but coming up after the break, two of our guests go head , head on, whether now head, head on, whether it's now time for asylum seekers to be legal , allowed to work time for asylum seekers to be legal, allowed to work in time for asylum seekers to be legal , allowed to work in the time for asylum seekers to be legal, allowed to work in the uk . don't forget, we want to hear from too . get emailing us from you too. get emailing us with your about you've just with your about what you've just heard . but don't go heard here. but don't go anywhere. with us. good anywhere. stay with us. good morning. i'm greg. you first and welcome to the latest from the met office. we do have rain through the course of the day particularly across the east and later on across the west. this will be followed by showers into sunday. temperatures average. we have between weather systems at the but it doesn't take the moment but it doesn't take long further atlantic long before. further atlantic systems in pushing their way eastwards , bringing strong winds eastwards, bringing strong winds and rain at times and that and some rain at times and that continues into week. so this morning cold frosty start across some western but some sunshine here across the east cloudy skies some outbreaks of light rain and drizzle . quite a cold

rain and drizzle. quite a cold feel to the morning as we go through the day and into the afternoon stays cloudy and grey across the east the uk this brighter, sunniest spot across parts of scotland and into wales and the west country before rain arrives across northern ireland . under the cloud temperatures eight or nine celsius in the sunshine , 11 or 12. so if you sunshine, 11 or 12. so if you get in sunshine it won't feel too bad. but chilly elsewhere. lower than on friday through the time this band of rain will continue to push it's where east west we could see heavy bursts at times some strong winds too. and then this will interact with the colder air across the mountains scotland mountains of scotland giving some snow . then overnight some snow. then overnight showers followed under the clever slots temperatures to around four or five celsius but for many 6 to 8 degrees, they're not quite as cold as the night just gone a wet across eastern areas the rain pushes into the north sea. blustery showers follow most of the sunshine across central southern areas. showers frequent across the showers most frequent across the north in the west. some hails some thunder in there still falling sleet , snow the

falling as sleet, snow over the higher ground . scotland in higher ground. scotland in particular, feel quite particular, it feel quite chilly. temperatures around 11 or 12 in the southwest. but elsewhere , struggling to get elsewhere, struggling to get into double figures and looking the beginning of next week, it stays fairly unsettled. longer spells rain on monday, followed by showers and wednesday and temperatures generally stay around average this time of yeah around average this time of year. i'll see you again .

welcome back. now the ban on asylum seekers work be lifted. that's the question the government is being asked to consider as out of control illegal channel crossings of packed hotels and bed and breakfast around the country with largely working age men. while have raised the potential economic of such a scheme, others concerned that further liberalisation of asylum law

could encourage more people to take the long journey . britain. take the long journey. britain. joining us now to debate issue is the economics professor for king's college london, jonathan portas. and director of migration watch uk movement. jonathan can i start with you? you what ? why should asylum be you what? why should asylum be allowed work? wouldn't it just as is just said, would it not just encourage more of these channel crossings that we've seen ? if you think that the seen? if you think that the primary motivation for people coming from for syria, afghanistan , iraq and so on is afghanistan, iraq and so on is to work in the uk i think that there's not a lot of evidence of that frankly. there is a more recent issue with people from albania who up until the summer , largely did come here via this route. they came here and illegally by other routes, not the asylum route . so it is the asylum route. so it is a

complicated issue, but we do have because and let's be clear what's going on here , people who what's going on here, people who have a legitimate claim for asylum, they have the right to have their claim examined while are waiting to have that claim examined . they cannot work now examined. they cannot work now what the government has done because of incompetence and austerity is it's leaving these people in. it's not processing claims . remember that pre—dated claims. remember that pre—dated the rising channel crossings that's been going on for some years. these large numbers , years. these large numbers, people are stuck in the system. now what you need to do? ideally, you process people quickly, either give them refugee status in them, allow to work which is legal or reject asylum claims. and then if remove them from the country in which case the question of them not and the question the work you're not working simply doesn't arise. what we have is a problem which has been created . problem which has been created. government ask the question now and you know it's a fair point .

and you know it's a fair point. you know, these people could be working we're now seeing more people here . people are seeing people here. people are seeing asylum seekers in hotels and are thinking could they pay their way in one way or another? and so isn't this a possible solution , the asylum seekers and solution, the asylum seekers and for the country country a solution ? i would beg to differ solution? i would beg to differ . it would make it so much worse. it would put booster rockets behind illegal and not just the channel, but across the board. those who come . if you board. those who come. if you years and then when are being picked up discovered to be here illegally claim asylum it just think courage is all that a no government's serious about tackling being illegal immigration. tackle the boats coming across channel would ever

it. fortunately we have a sense of all we have a sensible home secretary at the moment who i'm pretty sure would never contemplate it and look this has never been done. this is not something that this government has actually taken upon itself not to government since the beginning of the time when the 1951 convention came into force. ihave 1951 convention came into force. i have always said in no time , i have always said in no time, pick this not a different time or people not now that we've you know a cost of living squeeze pnces know a cost of living squeeze prices are going up taxes are going up. do we not think that rather than just housing people in largely hotels, they too, could be working? there's lots ofjob could be working? there's lots of job vacancies, 1.3 million job vacancies, and they could pay job vacancies, and they could pay some for the support as oh oh, oh, you're saying there is anyone who wants to make it across the channel in. a boat will be okay . they will be

will be okay. they will be allowed to work. that not sensible for goodness . it's sensible for goodness. it's a badidea. sensible for goodness. it's a bad idea . we have 5.3 million bad idea. we have 5.3 million people who are registered on unemployment benefits. there are 1.2 million who are actually quite out work benefits. sorry and there are millions of people who are not economically active . wouldn't it be better actually to see about getting them into the workforce ? so jonathan , i the workforce? so jonathan, i mean, it is i still would be shared by i. hang on. hang on a sec. jonathan. phil yeah. i'll just say i'll just make point, which i think lots of people would agree with that this would just people just encourage more people to come they they come here if they felt they could work from from day one. isn't i mean, the government have been have a system. if you've been waiting months for your waiting over 12 months for your case to be considered , you are

case to be considered, you are allowed to work and most other places , a similar regime place. places, a similar regime place. i think it's nine months in the eu, six months in the us. so i isn't that the fair balance from what you're saying about people waiting in limbo for too long. i think so. what happened. i'm an out is wrong this is that was been the case in the early thousand when was a similar sense crisis. david blunkett a new rule that that they that or removed the rule that said that they could work after six months but at same time the government invested more in speeding up processing . so what blunkett processing. so what blunkett said was . well look we don't said was. well look we don't want to have anybody waiting, we're going to process pretty much everyone in six months and then they'll either deemed to be a refugee in which case be allowed to work or they wait in which wait and. that which case they wait and. that worked reasonably well when we were advising people in six

months, i hope is of course completely when he says anybody who came here claimed asylum would be allowed to work , would just be allowed to work, the point is that they would be allowed a period of allowed to work for a period of time their application was time while their application was being assessed. were being assessed. if they were rejected . of course they would rejected. of course they would if they were accepted , they if they were accepted, they would. so where did the really, jonathan , about the speed of the jonathan, about the speed of the process . i mean, what the speed process. i mean, what the speed of the process . and you got more of the process. and you got more and more people coming . so that and more people coming. so that process be slower. process is going to be slower. could working for could you envision working for not just six months, but could it two years? could it extend on forever? we really should not be . there should not be people in the system who are waiting for more than two years any more. frankly, than they should be people who are a hospital waiting list for than 18 months now. we a government and i remember this rise in application just like the rest of the nhs waiting times preceded . the recent growth in preceded. the recent growth in asylum seekers into , a asylum seekers into, a consequence of mismanagement and cuts.it consequence of mismanagement and cuts. it is not a consequence of

the jonathan. let's bring in jonathan . can i agree with . we jonathan. can i agree with. we do actually agree on many things , although we disagree as well, of course. but the fact is it should be speeded up. the whole process be speeded up. the thing that used to happen in mr. time, by the way , was that there were by the way, was that there were far more people removed who had failed . that has plummeted now. failed. that has plummeted now. all it would do and when we weren't getting 42,000 by the 19th of november in the year crossing channel that this is a totally different order . what is totally different order. what is going on at the moment and really it's a very bad idea to allow to work in the way that is being sought out now. and jonathan porter, thank you very much indeed forjoining us. i

know will come back to this conversation to this debate , but conversation to this debate, but i guess our viewers have a view. i guess our viewers have a view. i mean, what do you think? well, i've got mixed. i've got mixed. i've got mixed. i've got mixed. i mean, i think because i mean, i mean, i think because i mean, itake i mean, i think because i mean, i take albert's point, of course, people over course, people are coming over and working and they working illegally . so it's not that illegally. so it's not that they're not working. they're working and they're going into the disappearing. the and then disappearing. and it's down the and then disappearing. and it's so down the and then disappearing. and it's so far. down the and then disappearing. and it's so far. so down the and then disappearing. and it's so far. so this down the and then disappearing. and it's so far. so this would down the and then disappearing. and it's so far. so this would help and so far. so this would help them know where they were, them at we know where they were, when in the system. when they'd be in the system. and say, they could and like you say, they could potentially be paying but potentially be paying tax, but on think probably on balance, i think i'm probably without would be a without that it would be a magnet for more and more people come here and it make a bad situation worse probably. but i think an interesting debate. yeah. and please get in touch . yeah. and please get in touch. vaiews@gbnews.uk you know exactly how to get in touch with us. let us know what think. now, eastenders actor wood turned 50 this year and is urging those who qualify to get vaccinated amid . delighted to say that he amid. delighted to say that he joins us now. now is going to

that you can have it down to 50 and i think it's just awareness . i think it's just over half of the 50 to 64 year old age group, as you mentioned there, esther , as you mentioned there, esther, are planning to get the flu vaccine. and i think it's just probably awareness that i don't know they're know, that know that they're you know, that they free one. if you're 50 they do a free one. if you're 50 and above. so news for me. and above. so good news for me. i've mine booked in next i've got mine booked in next week. book it through week. you can book it through the which is your local the nhs app, which is your local pharmacy did yeah. listen pharmacy. i did so. yeah. listen i would encourage everyone to get it, know . i think flu i would encourage everyone to get it, know. i think flu is get it, you know. i think flu is still around it's still a serious issue . know for many, serious issue. know for many, many, many people super fit aren't you. i've been impressed with all the things you've done whether fantastic whether it's marathons fantastic . well that would have been for your the friend who's no longer with us. barbara windsor. so you you that. you're into boxing, you do that. you're into boxing, you're . yes. both and you're into you. yes. both and even little bit of dancing as well did you enjoy your time on strictly . yeah, well, that was strictly. yeah, well, that was a few years ago now. so what was that, 2014? yeah, no, i enjoyed

it. immensely. incredible show. but even when i was working on eastenders was there 15 years. we used to have a doctor come around every year to give all the actors that wanted them flu vaccines. i did every year. vaccines. and i did every year. and i think it yeah. important it protects you it protects those around you and yeah i think it's a it's a it's a good so if you're 50 and above you can get your free flu vaccine. i'd encourage everyone to go ahead get from you ahead and get it from that you which thought was which i also thought was interesting anti—bullying interesting in anti—bullying week you talked sort of week you talked about sort of the bullying issue was and how to use that and it can be from a whole range. you said you were bullied because you had to sort of red hair and so, you know, how did you cope with it and why did you think it's important to speak out about it? yeah, i mean, i was very lucky. i sort wasn't bullied severely. it was just name calling, just obvious name calling, teasing. as i've spoken teasing. and as i've spoken about quite, quite a lot. you know, i think anything that marks you out different when you're is going to be you're growing up is going to be , potentially area , you know, potentially an area that of pick on. that other can sort of pick on.

i in this age of social i think in this age of social media as well, it's very important to educate ourselves about that . there are so many about that. there are so many more different that kids can be bullied. now and i thought that diana award and what they were setting up there was an incredible thing they were training i think it's 10,000 training i think it's10,000 anti—bullying mentors if you like kids in schools that can , like kids in schools that can, you know, help support other kids are having issues in that area . i just thought that was an area. i just thought that was an incredibly insightful idea to their peers involved and give them sort of, you know, a visible place they can go to, to talk , to. and i thought if i was talk, to. and i thought if i was a kid at school, i had an anti—bullying ambassador at school, then that was something i might as made use of and i might as i made use of and found very useful. so yeah listen, i'm very happy to get behind that campaign that jay's going. you speaking going. appreciate you speaking about issues. it's good of about these issues. it's good of you on. just finally, you to come on. just finally, very quickly, the 50 news at eastenders. any chance of a return for max branning and back into it, you said. well, i hope so. well, thank you guys i do

welcome back to the show. lots

you've been getting in touch with your views i've got janice here said the idea to allow asylum seekers to work is ludicrous. the biggest problem have is with our the nhs can't cope couldn't cope schools couldn't cope. we simply should not be encouraging more people to enter our small country. what the hell we going to put them? says janice . gary says, well, says janice. gary says, well, with the present tory government wouldn't be surprised if they got to work in got the migrants to work in the home speed the home office to speed up the claims and then they could process themselves. so i shouldn't laughing that . shouldn't be laughing at that. sorry, have the same sort of sorry, we have the same sort of dark humour that and dark sense of humour that and then things. if these then petty things. if these migrants are allowed to work, we'll have the same as when we had influx of other people had an influx of other people coming from eastern europe reduction wages in the lower reduction in wages in the lower paid workers for the people already . i just want to mention already. i just want to mention what alison says, because were discussing the day what alison says, because were disclandg the day what alison says, because were discland alison the day what alison says, because were discland alison said day what alison says, because were discland alison said , day what alison says, because were discland alison said , please,y what alison says, because were discland alison said , please, can nhs and alison said, please, can you your presenters you you inform your presenters you very well done here alison that nurses do and always covered a seven day week. it's managers in

the most senior doctors that do not do so in that case nurses will agree then we need to be looked seven days a week. they are doing it but some aren't so . that goes some way to getting us a seven day weeks of exactly .thank us a seven day weeks of exactly . thank you for that, alison . so . thank you for that, alison. so the qatari world cup commences tomorrow with host nation welcoming ecuador to the albert stadium, a4pm uk time. it goes without saying the decision to host the competition in the middle eastern nation has been a controversial and yesterday news emerged alcohol sales will be bannedin emerged alcohol sales will be banned in stadiums leading to widespread criticism. let's now talk to sports broadcaster and journalist chris cotter, who is heading over qatar soon. so is this really going impact the world cup ? you really as a world cup? you really as a supporter myth about not being able to get beer in stadia . it's able to get beer in stadia. it's the surprise after it's the timing . this two days before the

timing. this two days before the start of the world cup. we've all known the drink laws in qatar . well, you've got to stand qatar. well, you've got to stand off. i think we have to put this into context, really, because that infantino, the president of fifa , has gone on the warpath , fifa, has gone on the warpath, if you like, this morning, a bit of diatribe. spoke to the of a diatribe. he spoke to the assembled gathering in qatar . assembled gathering in qatar. and you just talking there about the migrant workers, the migrants and today said , gianni migrants and today said, gianni infantino. i feel a worker he's been very much on the defensive . what we've got is a stand between fifa and, the media and the qataris are kind of in the middle. the drink thing from last night, if you like a bit of small beer compared to what's happening right now because infantino is really gone on the warpath about this and said that the are hypocrites . there's the the are hypocrites. there's the budweiser they said last night didn't they . they're a little didn't they. they're a little bit embarrassed . this what? bit embarrassed. this what? there was a tweet from the brewers . this is a bit awkward

brewers. this is a bit awkward which it is two days before the start of the world cup. so we've got this tension the media. i just you one thing when you're talking about hypocrisy. what's up with budweiser and shouldn't budweiser look at themselves going to a you know, a country that doesn't agree with alcohol. it obviously knew it was appetising itself. it was quite happy do so in a culture that agree with alcohol so it's not blame free is it does a company is a big business? no. but they have it. they have a they have a multi—million contract with fifa who supply beer. this is part of problem and this is why the controversy been around for so long. but was it appropriate to take a world cup to a country where drink is not widely considered and it's available in hotels ? my understanding is will hotels? my understanding is will be drinks available in the final parks. but until days ago, you would be able to buy a drink at

a very price. that's another issue almost a very price. that's another issue almost £12 for less than a pint of beer outside the stadium . now, for whatever reason . i . now, for whatever reason. i have a theory on this . the have a theory on this. the qataris, the royal family there, have said, no, we are not to allow drinking in public the stadiums. now, i wonder because of the late call on this whether it's because of this off where the media have assembled this was always going to happen as soon as the media in cancel all the issues lgbt issue the migrant workers all those things were going to be raised i think they have been a little bit taken aback by the fact that it's suddenly landed on them having we all know and this is going to be happening to 12 years all that on fifa. years out all that on fifa. fifa's very corrupt fifa's alleged very corrupt decision back in 2010 to hold the world cup in this country. so we've all known that that dnnkis so we've all known that that drink is going to be an issue .

drink is going to be an issue. but chris, just i mean, you've obviously written being a regular at the world cup. you've written a book the previous, i think, seven or so world cups when the competition gets going . i mean, will everyone just forget all of this stuff and just concentrate the football just concentrate on the football is what fifa been saying to is what fifa have been saying to people. concentrate is what fifa have been saying to pe

shift but don't i think the stink around this world is going to linger for the duration the players there they are they're caughtin players there they are they're caught in the middle of this if you do if you don't some are going to wear the rainbow armbands the usa australia england of spoken out saying that they will stand for what they believe in. fifa saying let's get politics out of football. come it's all very, very . thank football. come it's all very, very. thank you very much indeed for joining us this. very. thank you very much indeed for joining us this . morning and forjoining us this. morning and enjoy the world cup . and i enjoy the world cup. and i suspect that players will be criticised on not for whether they win tournament rather than what their views are on political issues. but we'll we will and i hope well, if will see and i hope well, if anyone if i'm not a christmas first book, i know chris has written cracking book on the previous cups and there'll be no doubt identifying old chap. so certainly to that book, a new updated version after qatar so all of us with that chris to staying with the world cup and a new report published by exchange on of the tournament

on the eve of the tournament raises serious questions about what sort of relationship the uk should have with qatar and whether brits should be supporting tournament it's supporting the tournament it's been written sir john who been written by sir john who served as uk ambassador. syria, iraq, libya , saudi arabia. and iraq, libya, saudi arabia. and we're delighted to say that he joins us now. sirjohn, thank joins us now. sir john, thank you very for joining . joins us now. sir john, thank you very forjoining . i mean, you very forjoining. i mean, we've been discussing about you know the qatar like any country taxes its own national interests it has its own culture that we presumably should be respecting what's what's the difficulty with having relationship with a country which as far as i can see most of the people in the royal family were british there there is this sort of friendly towards the uk . should we should towards the uk. should we should we not be embracing them rather than trying to turn them away from well, we clearly from us. well, we clearly respect the cultures . i spent respect the cultures. i spent a 35 years career in the foreign doing exactly that and it's interesting your previous interview where you talked about

the impact of the various controversies about this world cup on the world cup itself. i think chris kyle was absolutely right. i think one of football starts people will concentrate on that. but i think once it's finished. i think the questions that from the world cup, that arise from the world cup, the way it was obtained and the nature of gp2 itself and the way the gap through itself pursues its policies, not just inside data inside the gulf, but more widely in the middle east and indeed europe . and the united indeed in europe. and the united states will become life again. and i think they should . you and i think they should. you know, think the issue of know, i think the issue of corruption in football and the abuse allegations and the bans and prosecutions and so forth that arose of the bidding process in 2010. is issue for fifa. and i think fifa has a lot of serious questions to answer , of serious questions to answer, which gianni infantino his which gianni infantino in his his rant this morning simply didn't didn't. his rant this morning simply didn't didn't . but the issue of didn't didn't. but the issue of the issue of after. why we should have a relationship with data which think is what your. yes you know this this this came

this was crystallised me first of all in 2011 when i was in libya. and we were supposed be all on the same side. we were supposed to be helping to protect libyan people. in the end , when gadhafi went to build end, when gadhafi went to build a new system in libya, which was a new system in libya, which was a democratic system and so forth, i mean, could have forth, i mean, that could have been been naive. been it could have been naive. we working with the french, we were working with the french, with the americans new with the americans with the new office supposedly with the office and supposedly with the but get to the but actually to get to what the countries are doing was entirely at what we and our at odds with what we and our partners , including partners, including the emirates, do in. emirates, wanted to do in. libya, were funding libya, they were funding islamist militias. they were funding islamist in benghazi and in tripoli. and they were doing it with the of a bunch of libyan islamists who had been resident in gaza for many, many years. and did without and they did without consultation all. it's consultation at all. it's actually, for me, it's one of the reasons why libya went went to bad after 2011. there to the bad after 2011. there were lots of other reasons , but were lots of other reasons, but that was one of the reasons and. every time we asked them what they were , they we support they were, they said, we support democracy . we support right democracy. we support the right to , well, fine. okay. but in

to, well, fine. okay. but in that case, why people get it . i that case, why people get it. i mean, you obviously this much better and. i was trying to catch up and read a lot about. but it seems qatar has got a very tricky path to walk i mean, i was even looking at it's only hundred thousand citizens relatively new country , still relatively new country, still got tribe, still got a at the top two of the million best workers as they have come in and they've got to really walk a steady path between becoming becoming modernised and who are their neighbours. what their religion and what is the culture . so in a quick answer is so there's a lot of criticism at fifa could this help on that journey so we can't be too critical we've got to be friends here bringing them on a journey because they are in a very very difficult position themselves. just a quick if you can we're friends with we're friends with libya because we've got to because of natural gas, basically. and i don't think do i think world cup is going i think the world cup is going to was you know to help was was was you know whatever we're about

whatever it is we're about liberalisation. no. liberalisation. well, no. i mean, i think they i think they do very tricky path to do have a very tricky path to that vulnerable. so that extremely vulnerable. so the is bahrain. and they the most so is bahrain. and they and choose way and i think and they choose way and i think just a quick one i one of just a quick one i mean one of the issues raised in our the issues we raised in our report issue cut report is the issue of cut funding groups and funding to islamist groups and institutions country and institutions in this country and institutions in this country and in europe , germany, france and in europe, germany, france and the states for that the united states for that matter. lot of this is matter. a lot of this is unaccountable. a lot it is untransparent and. that makes me very nervous given the history of involvement the wider middle east. sirjohn , thank of involvement the wider middle east. sir john , thank you very east. sir john, thank you very much indeed for bringing your expertise to the show this morning. thank and i think that's part of the issue, isn't it? it it is a very part of the world now, an independent economics think tank has warned that middle england is for quite a shock after jeremy tough autumn budget is to discuss it further as economists friend of the show justin urquhart stewart welcome justin. now i mean look at say instead of selling budweiser. what they could do is miller lite very good we like

that excellent well as zero now i mean the statement that jeremy hunt gave thursday was a statement that's probably as labour chancellor wouldn't have dared , wouldn't have, wouldn't dared, wouldn't have, wouldn't have dared to give, let alone have dared to give, let alone have wanted to give. so you know, has jeremy lost the know, has jeremy hunt lost the plot ? is this some this a know, has jeremy hunt lost the plot? is this some this a method 7 plot? is this some this a method ? is it is apparent madness. ? it is it is apparent madness. ihopeifs ? it is it is apparent madness. i hope it's a method. it is madness. what the madness. but no what was the main aim the main, in main aim of this? the main, in my was actually of my view, was actually sort of calm from the last calm down recover from the last debate and say, right, it's the international markets when our steady proper people now what's going on and this is what we expect to happen and also then politically by all the are going to be after two years time, that's not good. we also are going to be dealing with anyway. well, this particular government so something which so come up with something which is but that is seen as being dull but that seem steady. how what i'd seem to be steady. how what i'd like then is a bit like to then think is a bit three or four months time you then come up with something say right look right this year's going look a little better. we've little bit better. we've got inflation come down inflation starting to come down and. are of the nice and. here are some of the nice hot occurring. the uk

hot spots occurring. the uk economy beginning to get going the and things the high tech areas and things like up with like that. and now up with a growth package. so get this bit done actually now it's done first. so actually now it's firm handle the wheel and the next actually say right next stage actually say right now so i'm now give us some growth. so i'm going ask is a going to ask is that a big gamble then ? have they really gamble then? have they really got any control over those timings? because it is a gamble. it goes wrong . that's a lot of it goes wrong. that's a lot of people feeling a lot of pain, a long time to come and. you'll be booted out at the next general election because people still be feeling the pain well. the problem the last so problem was that the last so many they tried to pack many budgets they tried to pack it okay, you it all in together. okay, you can through the obe all can go through the obe and all those sort things, but those sort of things, but they're we're they're saying right. we're going tax cuts, going to have these tax cuts, we're to go for growth. we're going to go for growth. and it's put too much in and so it's put too much in there and the market then believe of that believe you. and of course, that because funded because it wasn't funded properly. all about properly. so this is all about confidence at that stage. but some this, have to say, is some of this, i have to say, is really frustrating . the really rather frustrating. the r&d high tech areas, the r&d on high tech areas, the being cut in terms allowances is really stupid because high tech areas have really grown. growth

areas have really grown. growth areas they need, they have those. but there's extra amounts by actually is it to say they might have they might got confidence in the markets but wonder if the public has lost the confidence . well, we're also the confidence. well, we're also joined in the studio by the patriotic millionaire dr. phil white. now, you must be doing cartwheels over . this. well, cartwheels over. this. well, gee, you've always wanted to pay more tax and jeremy holden's come along and he's, he's delivered for you wasn't he . delivered for you wasn't he. actually. no oh right. no, i mean i start really quite optimistic about this budget and with all the trailers saying those are the broadest shoulders should pay more, we're going spread the pain around and so on.and spread the pain around and so on. and then i was getting disappointed i the disappointed that i heard the announcements and actually at the about the end was quite angry about it, honest because it it, to be honest because it feels like yes. know there's a lot of middle income lot of pain for middle income people we've heard hits of people and we've heard hits of 3.7. the resolution 3.7. i think the resolution forecast on that under some shifting of the tax of the tax threshold from hundred and 50 to 225. okay but actually there is no tax on wealth there in a

meaningful way on this. i agree with you that they're talking sort of, you know, the wealthy pay sort of, you know, the wealthy pay more, but they haven't they've sucked a lot of middle earners to the tune . over the earners to the tune. over the next six years, they'll be paying next six years, they'll be payin g £20,000 more. and you, as paying £20,000 more. and you, as you say, as of the patriotic millionaires is saying it was the wealthy are not this big squeeze on people at the moment who can ill afford to live and it's got to be very painful so what would you suggest they should have could have done all you'd be prepared do. well, you'd be prepared to do. well, wealth, taxes mean, we wealth, taxes, i mean, if we look , for example, through the look, for example, through the pandemic , billionaires increase pandemic, billionaires increase their wealth. i think the number is 21.8% in one year of the pandemic. and we did that money from that actually that came from that actually that came from the government's, you know, right actions on furlough and so on.and right actions on furlough and so on. and that rippled up to billionaires actually did billionaires who actually did very well out of the pandemic. i it's very well out of the pandemic. i wsfime very well out of the pandemic. i it's time to take some of that money back, but the money back, frankly. but is the problem know, where problem not that you know, where was people middle income they're

trapped really in the uk, they're not going to go anywhere. they're target. anywhere. they're an target. wealthy people not all like you who to more tax. some of who want to more tax. some of them don't want to pay taxes. and very easy them and it's very easy for them just to and and live to jump and go and live somewhere government somewhere and the government gets of them. rather gets nothing out of them. rather than of them. isn't than more out of them. isn't that the problem? jeremy scott with approach , i really with that approach, i really think be honest , take think that to be honest, take that figure of 21.8% over one year improvement in wealth . so year improvement in wealth. so with advocating wealth taxes of around 1, 2% per year. so if you around 1, 2% per year. so if you a billionaire actually you don't make 21.8, you only make 20.8% this year. i'm not sure going to be leaving the country just what do you think of that ? instead of do you think of that? instead of squeezing the middle, it should have more to like the wealthy people . we are creating this people. we are creating this people. we are creating this people really benefited over the past few years . we've seen asset past few years. we've seen asset pnces past few years. we've seen asset prices going . they're the ones prices going. they're the ones who've actually benefited from it what you can do is to how do you make it more to others? it's like, okay, if you're very wealthy, you could paying wealthy, you could be paying

more what's pro more tax. and what's quid pro quo give you so quo for that will give you so much your inheritance tax. much of your inheritance tax. not wealthy not for those people so wealthy may so much to them, may not apply so much to them, but seem to be giving but they seem to be giving something and not something something back and not something that government something back and not something that so yernment something back and not something that so theseznt something back and not something that so these are thing anything now. so these are thing that was an that really i thought was an a misfire . that was the extra tax misfire. that was the extra tax on businesses is ridiculous. this is time when you really want to be able to encouraging do you need the money from there the answer is that's wrong . no. the answer is that's wrong. no. again, i mean, i think hunt has said at one point, actually, you can't magic said at one point, actually, you can't magi c £25 billion from can't magic £25 billion from wealthy people or something. actually you mean, there actually you can. i mean, there is lot of money that world. is a lot of money that world. but jeremy? how but you know what, jeremy? how until the phone you until be on the phone to you which is flash you to get your chequebook out and we'll say we've got it all on video so you're going to have to that you're going to have to do that anyway. you very anyway. phil, thank you very much indeed joining us. justin, thank forjoining us to sit thank you for joining us to sit for first hour here. well, for the first hour here. well, don't anywhere. will be don't go anywhere. we will be back short .

69 years old from the day i was born to the age of 30, i never had i had a flu jab had flu. i then had a flu jab organised by work and by the very day i had never very next day i had i've never had jab from that day to had a flu jab from that day to this. and i've never in the past 39 a flu i've 39 years had a flu jab. i've never flu. so they know they can stick their flu. jab says . they stick their flu. jab says. they go and we roll it out . talking go and we roll it out. talking about whether asylum should be working , margaret says it's all working, margaret says it's all about cheap labour. that's what it's all about. the people who are allowing this is getting cheap labour. the back door after we left the eu. so margaret is for it. and carol asks what if these people have no documentation , how can you be no documentation, how can you be sure they don't have a criminal record? i wouldn't employ them. it's a fair point. now i like this one because we're talking about the world in qatar. and i think is on my wavelength , think pete is on my wavelength, says just proves how much says this just proves how much our society now relies on on all tv programmes when appear to off that the one reaches for a bottle of something but. why now? because alcohol banned at the world cup. everyone is up in

arms because they can't have a drink. arms because they can't have a dnnk.no arms because they can't have a drink. no wonder alcohol is a problem for of people. you problem for a lot of people. you can your not having can enjoy your by not having a drink. i do have a drink. but i just thought at the world cup there places , isn't there are other places, isn't it? for drink. you it? you can go for a drink. you can't have it in. the stadium, but you have it everywhere else. i drink. i don't i don't have a drink. i don't know. doesn't he's know. he doesn't drink. he's driving drink i'm driving me to drink my says i'm a the family. but a disgrace to the family. but phil here says it'd be better if they just serve the beer ban they just serve the beer and ban they just serve the beer and ban the and the other the football and the other people who think that think . to people who think that think. to that. we're delighted to be in the studio by broadcaster claire muldoon to go through the papers. claire caught your eye. right. there's quite a few stuff. notwithstanding what raised spoken . cop27 to raised is spoken. cop27 draws to a close with very little progress made . i mean, that's progress made. i mean, that's not the shock of scene. no one knew that was happening . i think knew that was happening. i think korp davos and korp is just the new davos and i think everything should be scrapped until we've got china and russia know, and russia on, you know, committing to reducing the committing them to reducing the carbon footprint. then there's really point because britain really no point because britain one that size and comparison to

all the big industrial nations andifs all the big industrial nations and it's sort of ended on just people wanting reparation as they saw it. so at the end it was just all about handing out all the money of course it's all about that. but the main story i want to read and i don't know about you and indeed our viewers, but i don't think anyone actually buys newspaper these get the news these days to get the news because news because we've got rolling news stations time . what we stations all the time. what we do newspapers is opinion , i do buy newspapers is opinion, i think. and john is turner in times has got a great op ed on nicholas sturgeon and her law she says is another to women. and i agree wholeheartedly . now and i agree wholeheartedly. now this is pinned to a story of a select committee that was happening in scotland, in holyrood , where a scientist was holyrood, where a scientist was to remove her scarf. her scarf was coloured with the colours, white, purple and green, which are the suffrage colours. it's, you know, is it is this of the move of it was it may smith in

1832, when took the petition to the house of commons for the women for women's vote . i mean, women for women's vote. i mean, come on. so if there's anyone that would on board with this that would be on board with this as you clearly. we've as you clearly. well then we've got a hundred years for that, for actually work and be for it to actually work and be put place anyway . apparently it put place anyway. apparently it was a security that came up and asked this lady to leave, the scientist to leave . i should. scientist to leave. i should. well, why? because your scarf? your scarf, you know, is promoting feminism . and of promoting feminism. and of course, it wasn't so naive prefer to backtrack and. this is all on the basis of nicholas sturgeon and absolute cabal at house at the moment that is giving nothing nor should read of anything to give because what they want to do is sort of autocratically that is like a top dictate to their and i don't understand why feisty people of scotland don't say enough is enough. we'll do what we want to do.thank enough. we'll do what we want to do. thank you and a lot of them do. thank you and a lot of them do a stir. i been pilloried. i've been blocked on twitter by in both nicholas sturgeon and

sidekick janey godley apparently comedian is just it's all this rhetoric and is vile and it's villainous all my family still live in scotland . i've got live in scotland. i've got friends that still live there . i friends that still live there. i do not know any one of them that vote for the snp but this is really bad because this this stage on tuesday was revised by 150 tabled amendments then the whole bill she wants nicholas sturgeon rammed through before christmas. this bill is in my in my opinion safeguarding children is removing the age that you have the ability to change your sexual identity from 18 down to 16. but not only that you do not need to live as a trans person the person you want to be for two years beforehand . the worst two years beforehand. the worst bit you do not need to be signed off by a medical. so what will that do that's not protecting trans people. i don't think that's not women. it's not protect children. it's not

protecting because all it will be able to your you will be able to do is change your identity at the click of a button and there's well it's certainly got it's certainly you wet hot and bothered and i bet most of our viewers agree now page 51 of the daily mail today close i think it was written for me is dr. michael . i'm it was written for me is dr. michael. i'm addicted to sugary junk food and is how i deal with it i deal with it well i'm addicted to it but i do it. but more importantly, how does phil deal with it . well, he doesn't deal with it. well, he doesn't drink. it must the sugar somewhere. well, the way i deal with it is to have a nagging wife . oh, that's how i deal with wife. oh, that's how i deal with it. who tells me everything? it's you can tell it's a load of nonsense. but anyway, tell us how that lives. how he does it? asks about to tell whether you're addicted to certain foods and he's got some things it's like when you start eating it, you stop and eat more you can't stop and eat it more than intended , that you keep than you intended, that you keep on eating it even you're

on eating it even when you're not. crave food when you not. you crave the food when you stressed. isn't the stressed. if it isn't in the house tv shop that house, go to the tv shop that sells it. i ticking all sells it. i was ticking all these as going to be these as i was going to be perfect. what he says was that you can do certain things make sure don't keep any of it in sure you don't keep any of it in the house bound to eat the house you're bound to eat it. do what? eat it. it. you do what? don't eat it. yeah. very . see you can yeah. oh, very. see you can alternatives . that might satisfy alternatives. that might satisfy your he switch from your craving. he switch from milk chocolate dark chocolate milk chocolate to dark chocolate helps you get the helps a bit because you get the chocolate but it's less chocolate but it's got less sugar have it an apple or a pair can sometimes satisfy the urge for sweetness to serve. the urge is . what he says surfing the is. what he says surfing the edge that rather than trying to fight ride it out by fight it, ride it out by drinking a glass water drinking a large glass of water . my work, heaven's sake . my work, for heaven's sake this is a that i'm thinking know i want a cake out i'm not really sure that thinking i love a glass water going to do it glass water is going to do it for what dr. for me, but that's what dr. michael mosley says. well, i felt he did it later. he felt but he did say it later. he says, if you if you sleep less as well, you're going to eat more to so now going back to your point, clare that people are turning to the papers for

pen. yeah, well i've done that. i've got this in the telegraph today from jonathan sumption . today from jonathan sumption. there we are all paying the terrible price for lockdown . and terrible price for lockdown. and he's talking about the public finances saying he's talking about the public finances sayin g £5,000 per finances saying £5,000 per person is what he's saying the cost. now, the national audit office estimated the total cost of 376 billion, which works out 5900 beats per 490 for every man woman and child in, the land. and that is it. so let's talk covid. let's talk about the political decision to lockdown, and that is where cost is. this is where this tax is coming and it's said. but just compare with modest sweden what it did which it largely allowed at system if you went into and how much are they paying back per head now let's go £406 so we are over times the amount for lockdown and. this is the debate that we to have with our politicians.

the cost. and you never told people cost. it's not even the financial cost as know, it's the human cost as well, you know, undue geopolitics at the because sweden of the first countries well to out and say we're well to come out and say we're not net anymore we're not doing net zero anymore we're saying had enough saying we just we've had enough we can do it cleverly do it thank you so much for your morning we really appreciate it . there's clear widespread concerns about the volume of channel crossings and housing those asylum seekers in hotels. former cabinet david davis believes he has a solution. and we're delighted say that. he joins us now. david olds, i can tell you so many comments on viewers writing in about . well, viewers writing in about. well, really, they're asking the question what are we going to do 7 question what are we going to do ? so they'll be delighted to hear what you think is possible and what we should be looking to do. so inform us . right. well, do. so inform us. right. well, the first problem we have is that the systems completely overwhelmed. i mean, you've got got so many tens of thousands of

people crossing the channel that the home can't cope. and so you end up with it getting worse and worse . you're in for 120 days, i worse. you're in for 120 days, i think before they get a decision, which means in which time they start court cases . time they start court cases. lawyer they recruit lawyers , lawyer they recruit lawyers, they start families, it becomes to get rid of them. it's a classical problem. the longer take, the worse the problem gets . the first thing we can do about it is face up to the fact that in the last year we've from almost no albania migrants. to 12,000. now i say migrants, not seekers, because albania is a safe . albania actually has been safe. albania actually has been has a lot fewer and the european court of human rights in the last five years than we have or france has. it's a perfectly country from the point of view of being an and as an asylum seeker you really can't claim asylum coming to sweden were

just talking about sweden i mean many ways i'm sort of tempted to move sweden this is so much more sensible well the swedes basically take no asylum seekers from albania because they say it's a safe country our law for some reason allow us to do that. so just remember point for a second our law doesn't allow it's to say you've got off offset got off the dinghy on dover beach your . next stop is dover beach your. next stop is stansted airport which almost how it should be . second thing how it should be. second thing they do is they claim to have been trafficked that they are modern slaves know we had this modern slaves know we had this modern slavery legislation through well—intentioned legislation but they claim the traffickers now look let's apply a commonsense test if you have been trafficked surely and it's even voluntary surely the thing you want to do is to go straight back home, isn't it? is not to sit in manston or in a hotel. my constituency for years while we

sort out what's happened . you sort out what's happened. you you want to go back home and again the legislation to allow that and it doesn't and it seems to me that we need to pass through the house of commons a very short piece alleged election which doesn't say we're going take people's asylum right away because we've been giving those for hundreds of years. we say if people from a safe country, they go straight back to that say go back france or to germany , wherever they been en germany, wherever they been en route back to the original country. and you think that would through the house of commons david? i know it's a simple it sounds like a pragmatic change. all the countries are doing . would you countries are doing. would you get it through the house of commons? yeah, i think i think we would. i mean, i've been writing to colleagues, you know, about this because i've been writing everybody it. but writing to everybody it. but i think michel, bear in mind, look, asylum . i'm mr. rule look, i mr. asylum. i'm mr. rule of i drive philip mad as the wing of the davis family. there's all always in favour of

people's liberties and so on. but the truth is, i don't want the system destroyed by abuse. you so i'll vote for it all any tory will vote for this ought to unify the tory for stuff. yeah but it'll all behind one thing. now and then your next question is well the liberals are against it i'm sure about that but the labour party labour party wants to be elected next time and i can remember. when i was shadow home secretary facing off against david blunkett and charles clarke , john reed, all charles clarke, john reed, all all trying to be very tough on migration. the idea they would vote against a bill designed actually to the migration system work properly seems to me to be implausible. you know i think going to find that a very difficult position. so i think it's doable. but the other aspect of this and is how we do it now again , normally i'm very, it now again, normally i'm very, very . to emergency legislation. very. to emergency legislation.

you remember both of you that , you remember both of you that, when on march the 23rd of 2020, we had the emergency covid legislation . i was basically the legislation. i was basically the only person to argue it because i think , the house of commons, i think, the house of commons, should take time off . but should take time off. but i think actually the government a few weeks to think it through. but i think it can reasonably go through a few weeks. is through a few weeks. it is a emergency 12,000 people arriving . i'm abusing our system is an emergency. 12,000 people, by the way . but we totally agree with way. but we totally agree with you the david davis is something that needs to be at and it's something that our viewers want a solution. you put one forward and it is for politicians to take it forward. so david davis, thank you very much indeed for joining us. now coming . well, i joining us. now coming. well, i was going to say he's quite interesting. i was doing when i was doing some research about this last night, i stumbled across michael howard, across in 1995, michael howard, when he was home secretary , a when he was home secretary, a speech. it was it could have been written today. he was complaining about the asylum

systems . the applications were systems. the applications were going up four and a half thousand a month which is pretty much the rate that we've got here. and he said in these thing that was going do, that he that he was going to do, that he was make sure people was going to make sure people that back that were sent straight back safe wanted to safe countries if they wanted to appeal safe countries if they wanted to appeal, have to appeal safe countries if they wanted to appeal, country. e to appeal safe countries if they wanted to appeal, country. theyappeal safe countries if they wanted to appeal, country. they couldn't from that country. they couldn't do it from this country in just wonder to michael wonder what happened to michael howard's in 1995 when he howard's speech in 1995 when he was home secretary because he was home secretary because he was an asylum was going to pass an asylum immigration got speech immigration bill got the speech in that he was in front of me that said he was going all of these things going to do all of these things that i think people want to see. so the question is, well, i'm next i did next bit of my research, i did it last night what it this last night was what happened asylum and happened to michael asylum and immigration 1984. people immigration bill of 1984. people want do do want to know what do we do a friday night? i'll tell you what we do friday night, phil is we do on a friday night, phil is rummaging through online i don't know speech is a form of politic actions. that's the fun . find actions. that's the fun. find the people out going bar, go in the people out going bar, go in the pub, go in the pictures know he's looking at old political speeches. thank you very much indeed. anyway up we're talking about crypto currency and asking

whether it has been exposed as the ever get quick scam so stay with us for that .

welcome back to the show it's 1125 as always lots of you been getting touch with your opinions. i have got one here. michael says qatar is sovereign state its own laws . so why state with its own laws. so why are all the media going nuts over the. it's simple. don't go . of course, it all started with fifa corruption. but i wonder if any interview would be brave enough to ask any fifa official how voting bribe they received. that's where we want to know answers and i'll asks why is it. the government has always blame for hospital waiting, asylum applications, etc. surely it's the government's job to appoint to do this work. and when it's not done. civil servants should

get the blame the front work very hard but the process is on red tape hold them back and money millions . money wasted by the millions. thank you. keep your views. come in now . does cryptocurrency have in now. does cryptocurrency have a future or has it just been exposed as the biggest ever? get rich quick scam after the collapse of fta chris. but chris can't say that crypto exchange will have joe him by daddy masters, chairman of kodansha as and director of the world's largest regulated bitcoin fund and one of the world's leading experts on the subject. danny, thank you for joining experts on the subject. danny, thank you forjoining it experts on the subject. danny, thank you for joining it looks very sunny there wherever you are and i mean how damaging is the collapse of fcx to the whole crypto industry . well good good crypto industry. well good good morning phil good morning esther to see you. i just wanted to go back to your last segment, i am drinking a little water here instead of the kit kat, so i you

might see i've lost a little weight. it's working the fdx dip is a very large black eye for the cryptocurrency industry and i think we need be clear about you know what has happened here. this is a human failure. a human in many ways it's not a failure of crypto or blockchain per say , but it's multiple failures around governance, fiduciary duty oversight and other such things. in a nutshell the second largest cryptocurrency fdx one by an iconic leader, sam bankman—fried has sprung to prominence over the last few years and was trading many billions of dollars of fiat currency in cryptocurrency every and . i'm currency in cryptocurrency every and. i'm seems to be focus currency in cryptocurrency every and . i'm seems to be focus goes and. i'm seems to be focus goes on with this glass of water . on with this glass of water. that's what it was if he had a lot of cats and cats, he would

an absolute comeback to danny . an absolute comeback to danny. like i said, he is one of the world's leading experts on this. and we want to know, does it have a future? but we look now at the case. he was about yes. and how an interest people got involved. you saw this company is name now is bankman—fried have we got danny. we've got danny. danny back we'll save you on the andrew. we will have you back. but we'll go back to danny. danny danny's back there . danny, i think what wanted to know really is that, you know, if people read the story about fcx and the polling, be worried and with people have either invested in crypto or are thinking about investing in crypto what would your advice to people on the back of what's happened to fcx about what they should do to potentially protect themselves from any losses . that themselves from any losses. that we've lost the designs here is

that. we've lost the designs here is that . okay it's we've lost the designs here is that. okay it's dropping in and out which is really really unfortunate because we'd like to bnng unfortunate because we'd like to bring him back and maybe on another week if it's not this week there. so let's go back to this debacle, this company a young group of lads set it up and basically young group of lads set it up and basically £27 billion. so some of the outrage and it's appropriate that danny froze because many of the assets in cryptocurrency being as cryptocurrency being frozen as we a huge, huge we speak, it's a huge, huge story. and one of the biggest ones, how of ones, this is how it sort of broke week he was broke last week where he was sort of saying and the rather appropriate name something bankman—fried was not even appropriate. it's we're appropriate. and so it's we're now fraud and what's now calling it fraud and what's so what's happened you're right hester is well time they got lots lots of major lots and lots of major celebrities came out to support it and now there's a class action lawsuit which announced on november the 17th, basically alleging all sorts of deceptive means about investing and the person now taking over as ceo is john wray. the third who is a

veteran insolvency professional . and he basically was in charge of winding down enron and stuff like that. you remember. and he says, never my career i seen says, never in my career i seen such failure of . such a complete failure of. corporate controls and such a complete absence trustworthy complete absence of trustworthy financial here. but financial information here. but what happened was, you know, here you've got this young lad, people of hope, wishing they understood it. he obviously paid . and you've got tony blair there , you've got bill clinton there, you've got bill clinton there. you've superstars and models are all saying, isn't it a wonderful to be doing and investing in? and most of them don't know how cryptocurrency works at all. and that sort of the problem. nobody knew how. they just wanted to think that you could money quickly on it and that's the real problem because massive. it's a because he's so massive. it's a binary rollercoaster ride in terms the huge increase but also the huge decreases as a result . the huge decreases as a result. and lots of celebrities come out. we told how kim kardashian coming her problems coming out with her own problems , cryptocurrency that of , cryptocurrency on that sort of bafis , cryptocurrency on that sort of basis what happens people basis what happens is people want quick . and the want to get rich quick. and the easiest of being

easiest way of being a cryptocurrency millionaire is to start off by being a billionaire because you can lose an absolute fortune. so you have to understand it. the problem for a lot of it, it's not regulated. but i know that is his own of regulations and on that sort of bafis regulations and on that sort of basis volatile basis but is incredibly volatile and you'll see the highs and lows every bought cryptocurrency a year ago this day it would have fallen down by 77% just about two where we are today. if you look at the prices , was you look at the prices, was $69,000 this time last year. it's now about i think it's about sort of 16 or things like that on a sort of basis. so you're futurist. i'm doing is cryptocurrencies are they here to stay? do you think they always this the beginning of the end? you know, obviously end? i mean, you know, obviously dunng during the financial lehman brothers went bust, nobody stopped on stopped investing in banks on the of it all northern rock the back of it all northern rock yeah northern rock still what we need starting happen need and it's starting to happen is needs be we need is that it needs to be we need to that people don't to make sure that people don't invest in sort of quick get invest in this sort of quick get rich quick scheme. the idea that you have a centralised digital ledger which is all off the back

of blockchain makes a lot of of the blockchain makes a lot of sense. so the reason it started it's the wonderful tropical . it it's the wonderful tropical. it may a chap, it might be may not be a chap, it might be just a group of. people called satoshi nakamoto and started satoshi nakamoto. and it started when the banks basically after the banking crisis. so they tried work on basis as tried to work on this basis as well. have you can well. you don't have you can circumnavigate can circumvent the . so the principle is the banks. so the principle is absolutely but it needs to be regulated and you need to make sure that you invest then only if that's what you're happy to do at the current time . and do at the current time. and that's the whole thing though it was individuals was meant to be like individuals money rather than countries, rather some people might be rather than some people might be cynical and say well, this is a ploy cynical and say well, this is a ploy because there was ploy because if ever there was a bloody nose to an industry, it's this what is it? because and maybe this is conspiracy theory too, if they want to get rid of crypto, most countries don't want think ? yeah. want it. would you think? yeah. well, be something well, there might be something that it's a big trend. absolutely. and donald trump called is what he called it a big scam is what he said. it didn't said. make sure it didn't devalue . the dollar at the devalue. the dollar at the universal currency. so you're thank you for us. we'll thank you for joining us. we'll hopefully and get hopefully we'll try and get daniel can

daniel next week to see he can share his expertise with as then so we're now got time for the news with the wonderful rey . but news with the wonderful rey. but in the next after the we're going to speak to a wonderful young chap who's brought forward a new platform because he thinks the government have the right vision for young people and he's got his ideas for us at best time to use news headlines right. go is the latest from the gb news room. fifa's president has defended the decision to host world cup in qatar trying show empathy. during a news conference . today, i feel gay . conference. today, i feel gay. todayi conference. today, i feel gay. today i feel disabled . gianni today i feel disabled. gianni infantino is comments follow heavy criticism of doha's treatment of migrant workers and lgbtq people . he says he's

for there's a new platform which is going to be launched called enflame media provides a voice for young people who feel the government doesn't provide a vision for their future. well, we're now joined by founder we're now joined by the founder of inflight jack anderson. fantastic name. and is that what you're trying to do enflame people ? well, not people. i people? well, not people. i think . not deliberately think. not deliberately inflammatory . it's think. not deliberately inflammatory. it's sort of inherently inflammatory . because inherently inflammatory. because you thought of the name, though you thought of the name, though you didn't think. of course . but you didn't think. of course. but i think just because of the content and because of the system that we operate in and the fact that british politics is sort of so restricted in terms of the dissenting voices that can be , you know, talked that can be, you know, talked aboutin that can be, you know, talked about in the media, you know, in terms of the politician that we have, the political debate, i feel in britain is quite restricted. so this come into a free speech arena then. so is it more about speech or is it that you think that the people who are governing the country now really aren't thinking about

sort of not only the youth, but actually the long term future of the country? it's to that just thinking day to day. i mean, i thinking day to day. i mean, i think it's definitely both free speech plays a positive in terms of the long term vision. we have politicians who generally think same you know they have the same background they all background you know they all know each other. it's a very sort of cosy nepotistic club . so sort of cosy nepotistic club. so inflaming media is sort of based on the fact that in about 70, about 70% of people think , that about 70% of people think, that britain is headed in the wrong direction . so what's the right direction. so what's the right direction. so what's the right direction ? well, come on, tell direction? well, come on, tell us what's the right direction. well, the right direction for me would be a more system , a system would be a more system, a system in which, you know nepotism would be outlawed, effective you and i, because i'm thinking, where is the nepotism there? so i don't know anybody . anybody i don't know anybody. anybody still doesn't know anybody. so what is it? connections it social connections. rather family connection. what is it or is it just groupthink ? i think

is it just groupthink? i think it's a combination i mean, the best example i would give you with nepotism is the johnson family. you know, johnson. okay. good point. but there was a minister, you his sister's a journalist and his father, you know, does does whatever does. so we have, you know, a system thatis so we have, you know, a system that is based on wealth and nepotism in this country and connections . but that all comes connections. but that all comes to, you know, they go to the same schools . you know, they all same schools. you know, they all hang out. so you, the establishment i'm definitely on this one. and how do we because there's a lot that i agree with what you say that how do we open up to all the people so i get that and i absolutely don't want to just have the same people dictating but dictating everything but what i want is what vision. want to know is what vision. then your got? how would it then have your got? how would it break the problems of the current system of sort of i don't know people standing to be an mp getting involved in the sex and the system. how would you change it? well the first and most important would be you'd have to break the two

party system that would have to go. i mean, it's incredibly difficult. you know, there all the growth of minor parties at the growth of minor parties at the minute. but i'm not sure that they're going to go and have, as much success have, you know, as much success as they hope to. so it as they might hope to. so it definitely won't be, you know an overnight or even a couple of years things will be probably a decade or that this sort of decade or two that this sort of change will have to take place because. the system and parties are entrenched . i just are so entrenched. i just wonder, i, i think wonder, you know, i, i think probably in parliament now there's, probably less people there's, probably less people there of fewer people there that were from their parents were an mp. i think that breaking down. i more younger i think there are more younger people getting into parliament now just wondered now ever before. i just wondered whether or not, the problem wasn't people in wasn't about the people in there, about how many people there, but about how many people vote and course older people vote and course older people vote in much higher volumes than younger . and so therefore younger. and so therefore inevitably politician are going to want to look after the people who vote. well the people who don't. so it's not the onus on younger people to go out there

and vote and then their voice would be a bit stronger. well, i think if you gave young people a decent to vote for, they decent option to vote for, they probably mean , talk probably would. i mean, talk about politicians. about the age of politicians. the average age the house of the average age in the house of commons 50. and commons is about 50. and the house it's about house of lords, it's about 71, which shocking . the average which is shocking. the average age is about 35 in terms of the general , except the house of general, except the house of lords. more that's lords. more scrutiny that's meant people had meant to bring people had a wonderful very educated , wonderful life, very educated, can give an overview. so the house of lords you know would be abolished and all of it members outside and then sympathy as well and people also say and this is the counterargument that we want politicians who've done something before who've come to the house with experience in a job, whether it's a teacher or a doctor worked in the city, set up a business. so balancing your trade in there, your experience with youth would you back to with youth would you go back to just youth and no experience? no, i i'm not calling for, you know, all the people just, you know, all the people just, you know, complete completely have no but the embrace of no input. but the embrace of younger people definitely to happen. you know, if you look

back, you know, a couple of hundred years in terms of great historical figures , the great historical figures, the great was william the younger was was 20. william the younger was 24. life expectancy was probably only about 35. well, that's actually this is the thing. it's not true. people do, know, not true. people do, you know, live shorter . because , you live shorter. but because, you know, the people obviously did die young. you know, if you lived a healthy life, would lived a healthy life, you would probably of probably die about 70 years of age. you know , life age. now, you know, life expectancy is about 18. only climbing so jack then and that i want to thank you for coming on today. i think this is the start of a much bigger debate but in flames your platform flames as your platform and that's to do that's what you want to do galvanise people to have galvanise young people to have a different view of future. we wish you well with it. thank you very much. thank you. after the break end the tail end of break, end to the tail end of the show by talking the mother of how and why of eight dogs about how and why she treats from mcdonald's. she treats them from mcdonald's. starbucks and so—called box day parties . she looks after them parties. she looks after them better than you. look after me. oh, into that. don't go oh, i'll get into that. don't go anywhere. we'll be back .

soon it's nearly quarter to 12. the day's just been racing here. so what? but now it's time to look at the biggest stories from the world of sport and showbiz. and to do that, we're delighted say we're joined by ed magee and haley palmer. so let's off with because everybody's been about this the first person to be voted out of the jungle. and was it a surprise not a surprise? no. i found to be very bossy myself. yes it being fast, but it means the bossy women. yeah, i'm a little i can't help it. but you know what? i she had a journalistic head on, didn't she? and i thought she kind of went in a bit too much. i think she needed to relax, just enjoy it the whole time. but you know what? the loose women, they seem to first. adams on to come first. amy adams on strictly. and now they are the

everyone would have expected matt hancock's the first. well, that's what i thought really . that's what i thought really. he's he's doing quite well but. did you last night boy did you see last night boy george he kind said to him george he kind of said to him let like, i'm feeling this let like, i'm not feeling this like not going to get on with the you. so there was a bit of vino, but george of vino, but george is sort of trying to be take high trying to be take the high ground hancock. of ground with matt hancock. but of course own past know . course got his own past know. aidan's childhood . right. so, aidan's childhood. right. so, you know, this was a nice. oh, here we go . someone give me some here we go. someone give me some of the pie for. something like that. long story. of the pie for. something like that. long story . was thinking that. long story. was thinking of something much worse than that allegedly the thing is, that. allegedly the thing is, when that was caught up with boy george, which was what were what was it , his george, which was what were what was it, his court case? yes he said that he thought that was inappropriate , that it was inappropriate, that it was brought up. but is it okay for boy then to ask everyone else about their partner? but he doesn't like it when it happens. him boy george. i him boy george. ben. but i did think and is where, you think and this is where, you know, in a way and this is why i thought would do well thought matt would do well because politicians are

constantly the spotlight. everything has to be transparent everybody's always going to have an opinion. you've got to smile lots of people are saying horrible things. a, don't agree with are contests with you. those are the contests as probably had the as probably never had the groundwork and the training in a way that matt hancock politician had to go in there and he just gets on with things and he thought, oh, you know, just head down and, knuckle down, as it were, get and sort of, ooh, were, get and not sort of, ooh, it's a bit cold oh the it's all a bit cold and oh the spiders just cracked on with the job. yeah, that's true. and actually when boy george was saying to me last night, i don't really was kind of really like you, he was kind of okay. you're being okay. at least you're being honest. i think i would honest. whereas i think i would burst into tears, you burst into tears, so, you know. yeah, it's interesting on tv anyway. in light. is anyway. it's in light. is clarity. it's all over the matt hancock the last week or so. definitely always not that far but we're to come back to we all we're going to come back to it because we've a story just because we've got a story just for haley so i know how much she her yeah petto as the world her dog. yeah petto as the world over guilty of over are often guilty of overindulge in their four legged
