Anderson's Real World every Friday at 7:00 p.m only on GB News the People's Channel Britain's News Channel it's Patrick Christiey's tonight and here we do things differently it's explaining the absolute madness of this doesn't it it's explosive this is very good it's lively 850 your government sat there Sean and he did nothing it's controversial the Middle East has been in turmoil since before I was born it's everything you need to kickstart your evening everyone's at the Wheix tonight i love to see it that's Patrick Christies tonight week nights from 9:00 p.m only on GV News the People's Channel Britain's News Channel [Music] good evening welcome to the far show here on GB News ed Milliban announces size wellc is going ahead but it's doing so at an exorbitant cost why does it cost so much money in Britain to do nuclear energy when it's cheap around the rest of the world and how close did we come to the lights going out on the 29th of May plus two Israeli cabinet ministers have been sanctioned today i'll be joined by the Israeli ambassador today here in the studio plus the jobs figures are disastrous ahead of Rachel Reeves' statement tomorrow and was Donald Trump right to send the National Guard and the Marines into Los Angeles to deal with the riots all of that in just a moment first let's get the news with Mark White [Music] good evening i'm Mark White at the GB News Center the latest headlines the Austrian Chancellor Christian Stalker has described the deadly school shooting in the city of Grass as a dark day in the history of the country earlier this evening another victim died bringing the total number killed to 10 the gunman who also killed himself was a 21-year-old man from the local area he was a former pupil at the secondary school police say he used a handgun and a longbarreled weapon to carry out the attack he wasn't known to the authorities and apparently had a license to legally possess the weapons a national minute silence will be held on weddednesday followed by three days of national morning president Trump has defended his decision to send in the National Guard and the Marines to provide support to immigration enforcement officers who've been subject to violent protests in Los Angeles speaking a short time ago in the Oval Office Donald Trump claimed LA was under siege and accused protesters of being paid agitators after several days of violence you would have had a horrible situation had I not sent them in horrible you'd be reporting on a lot of death and a lot of destruction that's not going to take place i think uh if you look every night it got less and less they were met with very strong force the bad people the bad sick people that do what they do but these are paid people in many cases not in all cases but in many cases and uh they really are they're agitators reform UK have announced their new chairman after the shock resignation of Zia Ysef last week david Bull is a former deputy chair of the party and long-term ally of Nigel Farage he's perhaps best known as a broadcaster and TV presenter mr farage said the new chairman's role will be to give leadership to activists not to get involved in the admin greta Tunberg has arrived in France after being deported by Israel for attempting to break the country's naval blockade of Gaza tunberg has accused Israel of kidnapping her and another 11 activists in international waters the group were picked up on board the UK flagged Magdalene off the coast of Egypt on Monday they've been attempting to take a symbolic amount of aid into Gaza the prime minister has met with the families of the Southport victims today and promised5 million pounds in funding for a memorial garden alongside Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rener the PM met with the families of BB King LC Dot Stankum and Alice Aguar in Downing Street the gardens will reflect their shared love of music and dance and the arts and an act of thank you to the people of Southport for their support in the aftermath of the tragedy that's it you're right up to date with the latest headlines from the GB News Center i'm back in an hour in the meantime it's over to Nigel Farage for the very latest GB News direct your smartphone sign up to News Alerts by scanning the QR code or go to gbnews.com/alerts [Music] so today Ed Milliband says that nuclear energy is lowcarbon energy that gives us guaranteed base load power who knew quite how you can be an advocate of that model whilst at the same time an advocate of intermittent energy I don't quite know he's going to commit the government to a further 14 billion pounds for the Seizewell C plant we'll debate in the next few minutes whether that's the right thing to do whether it's the right model of a nuclear power station and why our nuclear energy costs so much more than any other country in the world per kilowatt hour we'll also debate how on the 29th of May the lights nearly went out did you know that now I bet you didn't i'm joined in the studio by Clive Moffett former government adviser on energy srano J Wardner who of course himself former uh minister and Joe Phillips former adviser to Patty Ashdown let's get straight into this Clive on the 29th of May I'm told that the National Grid had to make what are called 24,742 balancing actions to literally keep the lights on what is it sounds very complicated well this is happening with some frequency and um it's to do with the fact that the uh you know we we have a system now where we don't have as much push button on supply flexible gas generation that we needed we're often reliant upon interconnectors which don't provide when they need to provide which means we import electricity from other countries literally from Norway from this government's policy seems to be they want more of them uh more interconnection and less reliance upon domestic flexible generation so there are a number of reasons why that is happening and I think we're going to see more of it the point is that we are as we discussed before many times is that we are heading for increased frequency and magnitude of blackouts and we involuntary blackouts it's going to happen yeah yeah and we we can looking at also locking in consumers to escalate in costs and today's announcement is simply worsens that position explain government have announced that this announcement today would increase security and reduce bills right on security it won't do hardly anything i mean we barely makes up of a loss retirement loss of existing nuclear plant by the 2030s even assuming size will see gets built along with Hinckley gets completed and the second point it doesn't really make any difference and doesn't help the fact that we as a point I've raised before many times we have 35 gas plants half of which are going to see the end of their economic life by the 2030s and we're doing nothing to replace that what I call flexible affordable capacity which contributes is between 30 and 60% of power especially depend on what the sun's shining and whether the wind's blowing so we it's not going to demand bills the biggest issue on bills is as you said earlier is nuclear is very expensive so let let's just drill into this and one of the reasons for that I think is that I remember the days when I was operating as a consultant when British energy went bust and at the time in many ways that was like the passing of the British nuclear industry i remember talking to a lot of nuclear people in in the industry who were saying we'll lose ability we'll lose technicians we lose skills that because we were a world leader we lose manufacturing at one point we were a world leader in this weren't we yeah and at that point that was and then nothing happened until of course we sold it to EDF and then we got locked into EDF's way of doing things and EDF's technology and interestingly enough that technology is the only thing it's delivered at Hinckley is um is delays it should have started in 2017 it will now possibly start in 2031 and overall on costs which was going to be 22 billion is now going to be more like 50 billion but I mean EDF are a French company how is it that per unit our nuclear energy is over double that of Frances how can this be i'm not an expert on civil engineering particularly in the context of nuclear power so I cannot be very precise about that i can only summize that that we have lost um manufacturing and supply chain um resil resilience because of the reasons I described earlier and that we don't have skill sets and we're dependent on labor which is not here but has got to be brought in skill skill sets and if you like manufacturing capability and also the ability to to manage this kind of project you've got to remember how long ago it was before we when we built the last just extraordinary i mean Joe you're you know you your party Liberal Democrats big advocates of you know solar and wind and what Clive's saying is the whole thing's a mess well the whole thing's a mess but that is successive governments kicking it into the long grass on the things that you've mentioned Clive which is about training people to do it i mean Nick Cleg famously said "Well if we go for nuclear it's fine but it's going to take 20 years before it we're almost there." But you know but this is the problem and it's the problem I think that is maybe not exclusively but it is particular to British politics is this appalling lack of long-term planning i mean previous government got rid of an awful lot of storage capabilities um the planning system as we know is absolutely hopeless the delays whether it's building a nuclear plant or a road or a railway or anything else we can't do anything can it's just ridiculous and there is a huge argument I mean maybe you could say CL if governments had taken the unpopular decision 20 years ago 30 years ago would we in a be in a better position now well we were wouldn't we well yes if they done something about British energy and um and I just have to thought creatively about nuclear power at the time but they didn't and it was basically at the time when we had the dash for gas running concurrently with that if you remember we had Enron here we had other American companies here and we were building gas power stations and and governments looked at that as a very cheap secure way of moving forward on base load power um especially given the demise of coal and it almost happened concurrently with that yeah so isn't Ed Millibund right to do something that you know on the face of it might look It's too late it's my view about this is it's too late i think none of the decision today won't do anything on security it won't do anything on on cost for consumers i think uh you got to remember that the media and politicians have been very quiet about the fact okay the government actually hasn't been using taxpayer money to fund the overruns of Hink Lake but the real power the re the real impact will come on consumers the day that they produce their first kilowatt hour and that contract price that CFD guaranteed contract price kicks in and that was negotiated by Cameron and AB at the time which was a very very generous general inflation index link contract price and we're in a situation where that contract price is already significantly higher than the wholesale base price of electricity and negotiated by a conservative charter of the exchange so by the time 2031 comes EDF are already in the money big time and we're talking about a transfer from UK consumers to EDF over the lifetime of the asset of billions of pounds reynold this is shocking well I I agree clearly and I actually agree with Joe i don't often agree with Joe but I can't but that you know we need more long-term decision making in British politics and you know the fact that Nick Cleg was you know hoop about the fact that he had delayed a decision on nuclear back then is part of the problem also part of the problem is the planning system makes it so difficult to build anything so I agree with Jay on that too but I I have to say and you know it's not for me to defend Ed Milliban he's still got to take the decision he's taken today because we need that power because as Clive said we're going to lose the power coming from existing nuclear as those get retired you know the fact that we're using old technology is poor as a poor decision i agree with that you know EDF are looking at new uh types of plants in France so why aren't we making that happen here and also smaller modular reactor the one thing we've not talked about is that there is some commitment on that and I think that is actually the really exciting thing that run is really interesting so you know we know that every nuclear submarine has a little mini nuclear reactor in the back of it we know that the power stations that are being built at Hinckley and Seiswell are these massive you know massive sort of 50-y old type power stations where is the world Clive on small modular nuclear reactors spent a lot of time thinking about doing some work on that years ago with draws right um went through a lot of numbers the whole point is it's the wrong technology for the problem the problem we're going to have with the massive investments already taking place in renewable energy is intermittency what we're short of and being desperately short of is short-term flexible unavated gas generation and for the reasons I explained a lot of that plant's going to be out of its working life we need it and the point is it's the most cost effective so gas yeah cost effective way of balancing the system and providing flexible input a whole array theoretically on paper might be appealing of small 400 to 500 meg you know nuclear stations at close to sense closer to centers of population but it's not going to solve the problem the other problem with many nuclear smaller nuclear is it's a an unproven technology the manufacturing base doesn't exist to create economies of scale to produce these nuclear modules at low its cost you've got an issue here of um I think at the end of the day of it has to be full on all the time so it doesn't have demand sensitivity so there's no flexibility built into this small modular nuclear reaction so so logically it's going to require the same kind of support price yeah i mean logically if the SMRs were to work and we were to go very much down the nuclear route we wouldn't need wind would we well I think there's a few things here the first is I agree with the point about intermittency that's a different point which I'll come back to in a second the second point is we do need more base load energy and SMRs can be part of that and I mean okay look I'm not the energy expert but it's a proven technology in the context of nuclear submarines so I'm pretty comfortable with the technology argument is that if you've gone down the wind to the extent that we have actually the backup is gas because you can turn it on and turn it off but we need all of those things don't we but you know we've got such a shortage of base load coming down the pipeline that we need to put more in and if the planning process is so difficult it's not the most cost effective way of developing base load but if the procurement process is difficult if the planning process is difficult for big nuclear this might be possible i tell you what let's let's end this section with one question to all of you should we go on building more wind farms in the North Sea yes as a yes I don't think there's a need to do that now we've got plenty already Clive no i would put a moratorium on all wind production why because I think it's uh already extremely costly i think already we are seeing that net zero cost in total accounting for between 15 and 20% of energy bills it's already going to increase escalating because I think new investment in the next round for offshore will probably require a much higher CFD price yeah on top of the CFD price I've just been discussing relating to this nuclear idea so I think the whole thing is geared up is wrongly i think we should take time to reset and think seriously about what's going to be required to s to provide affordable secure energy for the economy in the next 10 to 20 years and we have to rethink the idea that perhaps we might need to have some CCGT and OCGT plants more of them in place because we will not survive uh I don't think with with the current situation energy mix clyde Moffett former government adviser on energy telling us that unless things change pretty rapidly this country will experience blackouts now we did have them back in the 1970s for those of us of a certain age and it seemed rather fun then but it won't seem it won't seem fun now because we're more reliant on energy for everything in the modern world than we've ever been in a moment I'll be joined by the Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom [Music] hi I'm Michelle Jubrey and my show is your opportunity to cut through all the noise and dive in head first to some robust debates ideas clash situation isn't it no you're deliberately avoiding my point nothing's held back and if you think this is the end of it wait for more and we do not shy away from the difficult stuff sometimes I want to shake people and say "If only you understood." So join me on Jubes and Cur week nights at 6 PM only on GB News Britain's News Channel this is GB News britain's News Channel amy how did you get into this this this beauty stuff it's a good story actually i moved here years ago i married a lovely Scotsman and I was acting for a while and then I was producing and while I was producing I needed a part-time job and I got a job presenting beauty products at QVC the shopping channel and I was given a hair removal device and although we did millions of pounds of sellout shows they were often time returned not due to my bad selling but simply because they didn't work or people didn't like the smell of burning hair and I thought to myself people want a dermiplaner they don't want this 250 lb device yeah so at the time I was bringing over these dermiplaners from America to the UK cuz I couldn't find them in store and then I thought to myself light bulb moment let me start manufacturing them because I truly believe everyone needs a dermiplaner in their routine dermoplaner that's the future dermaplaner and you're from America the US yes i'm from New York originally um don't like to bring this up Amy but somebody tells me I think it's James our producer that you were a career criminal back in the day is this true let's let's just put this to bed okay it's semi- true career criminal semi- true i did get issued a summons okay i was a bartender briefly i Yeah i had to do community service for a day uh I was issued a summons because there was a sting operation at a bar that I was working in as a bartender and uh yeah I served someone underage you know the legal drinking age it's 21 and it was super busy i didn't car I didn't look for his uh license next thing I know I saw a cop flashing his badge and I thought "Oh my god don't you have criminals to arrest?" Not me proper criminals but criminals we believe in second chances here on GB News especially on this channel this is why we've got you behind the bar even though you've got a dodgy past you know you could you put that to bed aren't you gb News the people's channel good afternoon britain isn't just about us the wonderful thing about this program is it's about everyone watching it's an interactive program well there absolutely is something to see here and we're going to be talking about it more whether it's breaking royal news please bring us up to date or indeed a particularly punchy speech in the House of Commons very very curious we bring it to you live and then we bring you live reaction as well that's Good Afternoon Britain weekdays from midday only on GV News the People's Channel Britain's news channel the political pressure is mounting on the government particularly from the left and it comes from the left of the Labour party it comes from the Greens and of course you know we can't forget the Gaza independence and that is to get tougher on Israel david Lammy said this earlier on today today we are announcing sanctions against those individuals because we have um been absolutely clear this has to stop and we stand for a two-state solution and the settler violence that we've seen in the West Bank particularly is entirely unacceptable and must stop so the result of this is that Bengir the security minister cabinet minister Israeli cabinet minister and bezel smotic the finance minister will both have any assets they've got in the UK frozen and been banned from entering the United Kingdom is also interesting to hear David Lami there effectively talking about a twostate solution i'm joined in the studio by Zippi Hotelli the Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom good evening Nigel good evening israel's running out of friends isn't it actually our friends need to choose whether they're going to be in the right side of history or in the wrong side of history there only two sides in this story hamas who's a jihadi terrorist want to commit a genocide to the Israeli people at the 7th of October and a democratic country trying to defend itself now you tell me which side you need to choose in this war and in this battle i think I think it's quite easy i don't for one minute I don't for one minute not support the idea that what happened on the 7th of October was an absolute barbarity and you know jolly well I've said that from day one the difficulty is you know and I know the BBC have been accused of accepting Hamas propaganda but it looks like and I don't know whether you agree with these figures but something like 50,000 Palestinians have been killed since the 7th of October it's a lot of people well first of all in war people die the only question is who's in charge of the fact that innocent people die in the Gaza war and the answer is Hamas they created this infrastructure we just heard last week that Muhammad Sinoir was killed underground of the European hospital the taxpayers the European taxpayers sponsored this so Hamas can build this underground tunnel city and hurt Israeli civilians and kidnap our hostages you met Emily Deari you know exactly i campaigned for Emily Deari very much so but but when you get Okay but when you get an Israeli cabinet minister talking about aid going into Gaza saying not even a grain of wheat should get in you can see why the international community struggles well are you are you quoting now Smrich i am okay so let me speak about sanctioning uh our ministers this is a wrong moral decision of the British government this will go down history as the first time that a democratic country is sanctioning ministers of another ally another democratic country now let me quote to you a person that is not supporting Smriidge or Beng is one of the prominent leaders of of the opposition in Israel his name is Benny Guns and he said today on Twitter as a reaction sanctions on ministers in one and only democratic state in the Middle East the state of Israel is a profound moral mistake and sends a a dangerous message to the terrorists of Hamas this is beneath so this is something that among all the Israelis everyone is looking at the UK government now and are saying are they under uh estimating the judgment of the Israeli people when they go and vote in election they actually say the Israeli people don't know what they're doing the pe the people don't know what they're doing it's political pressure and actually the French government is even is is potentially going even further isn't it i mean there's there's talk of recognition of the state of Palestine coming up very very soon and you can see the British government's position is changing pretty quickly i let me tell you a word about this initiative i think nothing can be more morally wrong than recognizing a Palestinian state after the massacre of the 7th of October what does it actually mean to recognize a Palestinian maybe maybe people don't understand what it means it basically means to recognize Kamas state it doesn't mean anything else if someone here wants to come and give me the argument that they want to have a better future both to Palestinians and Israelis please explain how another Hamas state like we had in Gaza the one that committed this this horrific massacre the 7th of October will bring a better future either to Israelis or Palestinians now I think the international community here should stand and say Hamas shouldn't be part of the game i mean I've seen the UN resolution they're discussing now in New York do you know do you know how outrageous it is we're talking about a decision well this is back to my first question to you i said to you Israel is running out of friends and that is the reality isn't it but I think the question is about our friends do they actually want to stand and be judged in the history is the British government do you view the British government still being genuine friends and allies i believe the UK is Israel's friend and I believe the British people are Israel's friend i believe the British government at the moment gave few decisions that the Israeli people are furious about just today I heard our foreign minister saying the sunkening our ministers is outrageous and this is something we cannot tolerate from a democratic country which shows a deterioration of relations and that is because people are horrified by the casualty statistics it's as simple as that i beg to I beg to differ i think I think this is not the reason i think it's from domestic politics this is the only thing that counts i think and actually if you see the big picture the big picture is that Israel is very close to a ceasefire uh the the Vitkov the the American envoy that has been trying to work on this framework according to the British government interests that they want to have a ceasefire all they need is to be a little bit patient and patient is a good thing to advise to all the western leaders but how do you have a ceasefire effectively with Hamas you can't can you of course not the whole idea of this uh offer that we are offering is to make sure kamas won't control the Gaza strip that the Gaza strip will be demilitarized uh our hostages will be released and we still have 20 people still alive in Gaza we have 55 hostages we need to have them back and the international community should come and support Israel i'm saying again all those countries today that were lining up with the UK to say Israel needs to be under pressure they're just encouraging Hamas they're delivering the wrong message to get their own interest well you may be right but I'm afraid there's a lot of Western countries not supporting you as much what would you what in an ideal world what would happen in ideal world the world will give Israel the time to finish the job and finish the job means to make sure that Gaza won't be under this horrendous regime of Hamas everyone agrees by the way you don't see even one leader that says Hamas control how many civilian casualties will that take can I ask you a question Nigel um we were hosting in September uh a very very significant general coming from the British army um I hope I pronounced his name right his name is General John McConn and he was a very senior prominent person in NATO and he came to Israel to check how Israel operates on the ground and you know what he realized he said I came very skeptic because I saw the news I saw the BBC I saw everyone is speaking about so many casualties but in the end of the day I saw Israel is operating israel is very cautious israel is working believe me I have those conversations with all my team with our defense at with all the people that we work with when Israel is targeting a target it's a military target or a dual use target that Hamas is abusing schools and and hospitals and turning them into headquarters and this is where we come into uh a statistic that most of the military experts will say Israel is doing much better than other Western armies and this is this is just the latest it's an argument you're going to need to keep making cuz as I said for the third time I'll say it israel is running out of friends ambassador I hope you still are our friend thank you of course thank you for joining me on the program in a moment jobs are being lost in all sectors but how could it be in a country that says it's going to build one and a half million homes in the next 4 and 1/2 years that building firms are going out of business and people are losing their jobs in that sector how can it be [Music] can't wait to get in that sea lovely and warm just like the feeling of having great travel insurance all Clear Travel Insurance sponsors GB News Travel Destinations forecast plenty of summer warmth and sunny skies over the Mediterranean at the moment a few thunderstorms brewing up over northern parts of Spain and temperatures on the rise in Italy sunny skies for most of the Greek islands not too hot here as the breeze is coming down from the north temperatures ticking up in Rome into the mid30s perhaps by the end of the week there are those heavy showers across northern Spain parts of northern Portugal also seeing some downpours but Lisbon I think set fair and temperatures as I said rising into the mid30s in Rome later this week all Clear Travel Insurance sponsors GBNews travel destinations forecast [Music] hello again it's Aiden McGiven here with the latest update from the Met Office for GB News clear skies overnight for most of us followed by a warm and sunny Wednesday but with increasing humidity always the chance of some thunderstorms later on now at the moment the weather patterns are shifting around and as a result we'll see high pressure move into the south clearing the skies although some low cloud will remain across the far south and southwest and some cloud will return to Northern Ireland and western Scotland outbreaks of mostly light rain and drizzle for the outer heedes for the vast majority however it is a clear and dry night and under those clear skies temperatures will fall into the mids single figures in places so certainly a cool start to Wednesday plenty of sunshine however bright skies for much of Scotland but for the northwest I think we'll start the day with low cloud and outbreaks of rain and drizzle that is going to clear through the morning northern Ireland likewise a lot of cloud particularly across western areas I think some early sunshine for Belfast but widely across England and Wales we've got the sunshine from the word go except south of the M4 corridor where we do have some lingering cloud now that's going to lift and break and some of it will drift north through the morning so patches of cloud here and there but on the whole England Wales central southern and eastern Scotland bright skies and with a change in wind direction we're going to see those temperatures shoot up 25 Celsius widely 26 or 27 in a few spots particularly through the Midlands and into northwest England but with humidity climbing we're going to see some thunderstorms arrive in from the west on Wednesday night and that will turn into a more general area of rain reaching western parts of the UK during Thursday it tends to fizzle away but there'll be some very wet weather towards the northwest in particular then into Friday further thunderstorms are likely although in the east it will be particularly hot those thunderstorms clear through the weekend with fresher air returning [Music] mornings don't have to be tiresome especially if you have the right company wake up to news as it happens opinion and debate and of course a little bit of entertainment too because when the kettle's on we're on that's breakfast on GB News a show worth waking up for every morning from 6:00 a.m only on the People's Channel Britain's news channel we'll spread the news you spread the word from the school run to the home run watch a new show for all of Britain he can say whatever he wants a straight talking show where all voices are heard and you know when are we going to stop talking about smashing the gangs and actually do it with the stories that matter from every part of our country there's a bit of a crash landing there for your chancellor bold fearless and standing up for you that's me Martin Dorme 3:00 p.m till 6:00 p.m weekdays here only on GBN News the People's Channel Britain's News Channel [Music] here on GB News at 9:00 tonight it is the unmistakable Patrick Christies tonight patrick what will you be talking about this very evening well anti-immigration protests in Northern Ireland nigel look how long is it going to be before establishment politicians take responsibility for turning Britain into a powder keg there was a mass shooting in Austria as well but what I want to know is we've had a couple of near misses here in Britain actually how prepared are we for some kind of mass school shooting here in Britain be Turner our very own is on on that but of course I do want to just take this opportunity very quickly to tell you about something very special it's a brand new show patrick Christie tonight late edition Monday to Friday 11:00 p.m till midnight it's the first look at tomorrow's news tonight front pages inside stories breaking news your regional papers and the headliners gang are on every single night with me as well it's a one-stop shop to be ahead of the game get the news before anyone else i'll see you there Nigel splendid Patrick thank you you're extending your hours you made it a camp bed in the office right we'll be tuning in at 9:00 so it's bad news unemployment is up yep may's payroll dropped by 109,000 this is now a consistent steady trend in every month bar one since Labor came to power more people have become unemployed and I have a feeling that the rise in national insurance I have a feeling that the rise in minimum wage I have a feeling that ratable values going back to precoid levels are a big part of it i'm going to start with Adam Brooks pub landlord and then come to Steve Mholland CEO of the construction plant hire association let's begin with pubs blooming difficult all of those factors it's the hardest it's ever been i grew up I grew up in pubs i've had my own venues now 20 years and you know if if you said to me Adam you're going to be a publican in 3 years time I'd be amazed because it's that hard everything is going against us we come out of COVID uh I'm still paying COVID loans then we get hit with energy crisis you know I was paying four bills going through the roof four or five grand a month for electric alone at some point that's back down to about two 2 and a half thousand but now last year when we we got told of the budget I was screaming on X and screaming at the telly because I knew what was coming and that is higher prices and job losses and if someone like me knows that I've just got I'm a simple public a Bor Pub is a lovely pub you got a nice garden out the back i mean are you cutting staff or cutting staff hours i've I've I've reduced shifts i haven't cut anyone yet but at the end of the day these are some of the numbers £30,000 on top of my costs from this budget alone and that includes national insurance contributions uh the rate the rate uh relief being cut back minimum wage we all want people to earn more money but businesses have got to find that so that's 30,000 a year Nigel that is around just for your pub just for my pub so that is about 80,000 over the bar that I've got to take that's about 14,000 pints a year that I have to serve to to make that up where does that come from now our customers have got less money than they've ever had so where is that going to come from it's not coming from anywhere so we have to cut costs we have to hope we survive i mean I was pretty you know sure that hospitality and retail would suffer terribly what I can't believe Steve Mholland is I mean come on we're going to build one and a half million homes you know this should be a booming sector and I read today a record number of small building companies have gone out of business and up to 40,000 people in construction have lost their jobs what the hell is going on listen when we knew Labor government was coming in the industry thought boom time if you think back to the mid to late 1990s um housing began to boom and then something bizarre happened and we got last year's autumn budget and when we sat and looked at that everything was against business it was anti-growth the the very businesses that are going to deliver these houses not the actual household volume builders names but the supply chain that supplies them that actually do the work the small and mediumsiz businesses they make up 85% of construction 95% of the guys that I represent in the construction plant hire association who supply the actual kit suddenly they're thinking "Hang on a minute wages are going up and we don't have the pipeline of works yet." Had they made the announcements that may be coming down the line now comprehensive spending reviews 10 year infrastructure plans along with 1.5 million um homes if we're going with that for maybe 6 months 12 months then thought about maybe raising taxes what you're really saying is they've got this badly wrong what they've got is they've now possibly got the right notes they've got them in the wrong order the music's just not going to work it can and therefore the prospect of actually delivering one and a half million homes one and a half million is not going they've already downgraded it themselves um I spoke to times radio at the beginning of the year and said they'll be lucky if they hit a 1.2 to that's what they've downgraded it to i can see with the job losses that have been announced today that's the supply chain that's the people who do the actual work they're the guys that deliver the buildings and they're paying off they're laying off um 32,000 in our sector we reckon um 267,000 since last autumn andund just over 100,000 since the NIC charge went up that's when across the country we're all feeling it rachel Reeves is going to get up and give a statement to Parliament tomorrow so Steve here is your chance to deliver a message what do you want us to say you have to reverse NIC BPR APR all the things all the taxes that went through last year to give business breathing space to actually grow and deliver what the government intentions are there so so so they did it to raise more revenue but you're saying it's counterproductive the revenue had already been given away that they say they were going to raise through public sector pay increases through money to the NHS through silly deals like we'll go even as far as the Chaos Islands things like that is costing us so much money without any proof for efficiencies productivity when it comes to the the public sector at home if everything had just been delayed to give them breathing space to try and get the economy growing then people may you know they've been able stay stayed on side and helped deliver all these great ideas cuz there are some really good ideas they've just came along four months too late steve very clear there what his message to Rachel Reeves was adam I'm not I wouldn't be so polite my message to Rachel Reeves and K Star is stop lying you haven't stabilized the economy you are killing the economy and you're starting with a small business we are the bedrock of the economy we are the foundations once we go the economy goes they they have no idea what they're doing other countries have a VAT rate half that of ours because it stimulates tourism it stimulates hospitality all they want to do is tax us into oblivion i think uh we've got a tough 12 months ahead and again if I'm still a publican in maybe two or three years I'd be amazed nigel goodness me thank you both gentlemen now there were two views there you know both from the front lines telling us just how desperately bad this government got the last budget but because of Offcom I have to balance this here's the good news there are more jobs being created in the civil service there are 4,000 more jobs in the civil service so we can go to the break and you can celebrate that haha in a moment let's look at the riots in Los Angeles was Trump right to send him a National Guard [Music] what is the

keep you informed we bring you unique perspectives you won't see anywhere else can't argue with any of that when the news happens it happens here on Britain's Newsroom weekdays from 9:30 a.m only on GB News [Music] he got elected saying he would get rid of those who illegally had come into America and when the authorities try to do their job in Los Angeles there are riots this is what Trump had to say you would have had a horrible situation had I not sent them in horrible you'd be reporting on a lot of death and a lot of destruction that's not going to take place i think uh if you look every night it got less and less they were met with very strong force the bad people the bad sick people that do what they do but these are paid people in many cases not in all cases but in many cases and uh they really are they're agitators so mobilization has happened of about 5,000 700 of them being active Marines has Trump done the right thing i'm joined down the line by former special assistant to President Ronald Reagan Mary Joe Jackabe mary Joe I suppose one side of the argument would say he was elected very clearly saying he would do this so he's carrying out the will of the American people is that your read and that is my read um the president learned from the 2020 George Floyd riots particularly in Minneapolis where parts of the city has still not recovered and also from the Seattle experience from the George Floyd riots where the Seattle was occupied for a very long time and he didn't hesitate this time he feels he hesitated the last time so he deployed the um the the National Guard the California National Guard to protect federal property the Marines are a force in readiness they have been brought in from um 29 Palms Marine Base near Palm Springs California which is a few hours away from Los Angeles and they are going to be positioned to be in readiness they have not been deployed but they will be ready should it should the situation require it and let's keep in mind um I'm from New Orleans and in uh when Hurricane Katrina struck the 101st Airborne was deployed to New Orleans so you know this is not it it's not unusual it is unusual for the president to preempt the governor but the governor and the mayor and the local officials all hesitated and the president felt that the situation warranted it yeah i mean that's the political situation isn't it governor Nuomo does not want this to happen um is there a risk quick thought you know you've made the case very clear as why you think he's done the right thing is there a risk that it further inflames things and makes the riots even worse well certainly the mayor of Los Angeles believes that it has made things worse uh but things have calmed down um since last night so let's see what happens uh but you know whatever the president does it's a risk one way or the other if he hadn't acted and people got hurt or killed that would be one thing if he does act to prevent people from getting hurt and killed that's another thing and it really really comes down to where you feel about the president and right now in latest polling according to CNN 47% of legal Hispanic immigrants support Donald Trump and they oppose illegal immigration and I think we have to keep in mind that we're talking about illegal immigrants who have committed crimes yeah no Mary Joe thank you very much for your contribution i have to say folks I agree if you're elected on a mandate that says you're going to get rid of illegal immigrants and if your if your authorities try to do it and are obstructed by riots you have little choice what do you think about that Joe Phillips i think he's just creating mayhem and chaos he loves it he's living in a Marvel comic um there were there was no need to send in troops there certainly was no need to send in Marines the last time a president of the United States did that was in the 1960s um Gavin Newsome is democratically elected as the governor of As is Donald Trump as is Donald Trump guess saying you're going to get rid of or do something about illegal migrants is one thing going and sending in troops wearing masks to take people away from their workplaces from their homes from their jobs from their schools and just take them away with people not knowing where they've gone that's the sort of thing that we see happening in countries in South America and condemn them for it's appalling there are no riots there was no ra danger to life it was all under control and the local police were quite capable of dealing we've seen similar scenes i remember a scene in Glasgow Ran i remember a scene in Peekom where illegal immigrants were rounded up and kind of the streets were blocked by people saying "You can't do this." I even remember you know deportation flights chap was a serious rapist and the rest of the playing say "No you can't do I mean what option doesn't Trump have a mandate to do this?" He does have a mandate whether we agree with the style the tone of what he says he has a mandate he was elected to do this and he's doing this and also the first role of any government is to you know protect its citizens and if there is a risk that people are going to be hurt from riers then the government has to step in and if a governor in the United States is choosing not to then the president must because the president is responsible but it's can I just say one other thing you know in this country we do have a problem here you know for too long we've now had a police service we need to restore a police here we've seen in London the sell off of the water cannons under Theresa May unfortunately bought by Boris quite rightly we need to get these sorts of things back in case there are riots here we need to make sure we got the capability isn't the point Isn't the point here that if ICE which is the American authority that do this we're trying to arrest people who come into America illegally if they're being stopped by other people on the street if that situation is allowed to continue then what does the last presidential election mean what does it you know what was the point of that where is the evidence that they were stopped in a way that was endangering anybody i mean the point of this is that Trump has escalated this in a disproportionate way to what is actually happening now the you know you can argue we can all all argue whether or not uh he yes he's got the mandate to do something about um illegal immigrants and deport them but the way he's doing it is grotesque well I have to say I don't agree well there you go i think he's right now the what the fra moment i can't believe this british Airways are now with their in-flight map when they show the Falkland Islands have got Paul Stanley as Porto Argentina uh could I remind everybody that Argentina has never had sovereignty over the Falkland Islands at any point in time just as Maitius of course have never had sovereignty over the Chaos Islands it's a disgrace but the BA spokesman says we are grateful this has been brought to our attention really we'll be reviewing it with the third party supplier that provides the in-flight map service i mean is it time to boycott BA well what I'd love to see American islands have they have they got um the Gulf of Mexico or Gulf of America or Canada as the 51st state yeah i mean Trump is Well Greenland of course you forgot about Greenland i'm not sure he really meant it about Canada but it was an unusual thing to say did Mark Carney no harm though didn't well it No you're right you're right and and it brought down um poly polyv who looked like winning the election he didn't he didn't know how to cope with it um BA looked to me from that statement will be backtracking pretty quickly and and quite right too i mean this is not acceptable and it shows that actually there just needs to be a bit more attention to detail on BA not only on their IT but on some of their services as well yeah I I have to say I find the staff very nice on BA but I find the actual planes the internet service and everything else and the app very dodgy it's just it's just kind of out of date somehow isn't it well it's just Yes it's old-fashioned i did fly Virgin a couple of months ago richard Branson was on the flight and we had a glass of wine in the chat did you given that he's a remainer you know it wasn't bad but you've been doing a lot of interesting whining and dining haven't we oh I have i had for the last 40 years that's wonderful funny enough only 40 years funny enough I was whining and dining at lunch today in the same restaurant as me i looked across and I saw a knight of the robe mr jacob Reed was in join at lunch time yes it was a very nice place to to take lunchon jacob state of the nation what are we going to talk about well we're going to be talking about the new nuclear fleet and how this changes the green argument and whether we shouldn't be getting cheaper energy from fossil fuels of which we've got plenty but also in a GB news exclusive we've got a young man coming on who received attention from his school for quoting a Royal Dahl joke that was in the school library and he and his father are coming on because seems a bit much if the book's in the library then you punish the boy for reading it shouldn't you be encouraging young boys for reading i mean the joke was marginal but it wasn't it wasn't outrageous jacob I'm getting emails from parents and kids at school every single week i'm back with you tomorrow first though let's have a look at the all important weather [Music] there will be a light breeze in the morning leading to a warm front boxed heat pumps sponsors of weather on GB News hello again it's Aiden McGiven here with the latest update from the Met Office for GB News clear skies overnight for most of us followed by a warm and sunny Wednesday but with increasing humidity always the chance of some thunderstorms later on now at the moment the weather patterns are shifting around and as a result we'll see high pressure move into the south clearing the skies although some low cloud will remain across the far south and southwest and some cloud will return to Northern Ireland and western Scotland outbreaks of mostly light rain and drizzle for the outer heedes for the vast majority however it is a clear and dry night and under those clear skies temperatures will fall into the mids single figures in places so certainly a cool start to Wednesday plenty of sunshine however bright skies for much of Scotland but for the northwest I think we'll start the day with low cloud and outbreaks of rain and drizzle that is going to clear through the morning northern Ireland likewise a lot of cloud particularly across western areas i think some early sunshine for Belfast but widely across England and Wales we've got the sunshine from the word go except south of the M4 corridor where we do have some lingering cloud now that's going to lift and break and some of it will drift north through the morning so patches of cloud here and there but on the whole England Wales central southern and eastern Scotland bright skies and with a change in wind direction we're going to see those temperatures shoot up 25 Celsius widely 26 or 27 in a few spots particularly through the Midlands and into northwest England but with humidity climbing we're going to see some thunderstorms arrive in from the west on Wednesday night and that will turn into a more general area of rain reaching western parts of the UK during Thursday it tends to fizzle away but there'll be some very wet weather towards the northwest in particular then into Friday further thunderstorms are likely although in the east it will be particularly hot those thunderstorms clear through the weekend with fresher air returning there will be a light breeze in the morning leading to a warm front boxed Heat Pumps sponsors of
