across the globe. the terrorist organisation itself, you'll remember, was very prominent from about 2015 onwards, carried out multiple attacks and inspired multiple attacks in europe. in france , in belgium, europe. in france, in belgium, germany, in the uk, especially around 2017. and it's been largely dismantled in the likes of syria because of efforts by coalition forces there. but it's still there, and what it's never lost is the ability to continue pumping out the propaganda and inspiring others to carry out attacks. and one of the reasons the authorities will be taking this very seriously , as you'll this very seriously, as you'll remember, just last year, in october of last year, two swedish football fans at an international in brussels were shot dead in an islamist attack. sporting venues we know have been targeted in the past. if we

postmistresses right across the country. he worked in a post office in north wales up until the early 2000, and subsequently wanted to sort out this situation when he saw that there were issues with the it system, which had been introduced in his post office, and he was saying him and his colleagues attempted to call the helpline over 500 times, but they didn't get the support that they needed . and support that they needed. and then he was subsequently let go from his job, with only three months notice. now, on why he has been campaigning for so long. this is what he had to say dunng long. this is what he had to say during the hearing today. >> initially was because post >> initially it was because post office terminated my contract, given me three months notice and not giving me a reason for doing so, purely because in my belief is that it is. i kept raising problems and concerns over its honzon problems and concerns over its horizon system due to a number of faults i'd found over the

years . years. >> you tell us in your statement that you spent, that period of time seeking justice, accountability and redress for not just yourself and your wife , not just yourself and your wife, but also on behalf of a much wider group of people. is that right? >> yes. i did, where, once i'd started my individual little campaign in there, we found others along the way, and eventually we all joined up and so the fsa was born and onwards meant the campaign . meant the campaign. >> as someone a leading and part of the campaign to fight for those who were accused of taking money, he says there were people who were recording around 30 to £40,000 as missing at their post office, and he was saying those people were afraid to even

highlight it simply because they didn't know what would happen to them or their family previously. when we've been here, we've spoken to some of those subpostmasters and postmistresses , and they were postmistresses, and they were saying they were the heart of their people trusted their community. people trusted them and for this to happen to them, turned lives them, it turned their lives upside down. now, bates is the first person to kick off this phase five of the inquiry, which is due to go on for some time into the summer. and we've also heard about how some of those people who were affected by this issue with the it system ended up in prison. others have died in the time it's taken to get justice. and so far, 95 convictions have been overturned. now the hearing is continuing here in central london this afternoon . london this afternoon. >> thank you. theo chikomba live from that hearing and we'll have more. of course, throughout the show. course, show. alan bates, of course, many hero of the post many see as the hero of the post office scandal. we'll get back to throughout show . you

president paul kagame in downing street today, amid reports that properties in the african country earmarked for channel migrants have been sold to locals. let's cross now to downing street and speak to our political correspondent catherine forcer. catherine welcome to the show. at least not raining on you. so, so far £370 million has gone on the rwanda plan. not a single solitary sausage of an asylum seeker has left the country. nevertheless, today, both leaders putting on a brave face. >> yes, absolutely. the rwandan president here for about 20 minutes this lunchtime and said that they talked about the 30 year anniversary of, you know, the genocide in rwanda, about regional instability in the democratic republic of the congo and importantly for gb news viewers, the deal that the uk and rwanda have struck to put

people in that country who crossed the channel illegally. rishi sunak updated the president on the passage of his safety of rwanda bill through parliament. it's coming back next week. the government hopes it will be law by the end of the month and if finished up by saying that both leaders looked forward to flights departing for rwanda this spring, well, it may not feel much like spring, but technically we've only got about six more weeks of spring. i think they'll be lucky to get flights off before june. but anyway, you know, if they do get people in the air to rwanda, that will be something of a win, won't it? we've been hearing about this scheme for over two years, hundreds of millions given to rwanda. as you say . years, hundreds of millions given to rwanda. as you say. but yeah, a very embarrassing story today in the times that some of these new housing developments earmarked for migrants coming from the uk, 70% in one case have been sold off to locals.

one of the estates at suella braverman, the former home secretary, had visited, said how beautiful the houses were. she's already come out saying this is very disappointing. you know, it's not about getting just a couple of token flights off to rwanda. the whole point of the scheme is you need to send hundreds of people for it to become a deterrent. but number 10, still hoping to get those flights in the air sooner rather than later . than later. >> yeah, well, i'm still hoping to be an astronaut at some point in my life, catherine. and indeed, the numbers are a further embarrassment because only a few dozen of those apartments are even left. this is a drop in the ocean. and really, catherine, they say flights will take off in the spring. it is the spring. >> well, it is the spring. but, you know, if they get this legislation through parliament next week or early the week next week or early into the week

after , they'll get it into law after, they'll get it into law by the end of april. they then reckon it's about six weeks to get tied and they get everything tied up, and they still found who's going still haven't found who's going to actually fly these migrants, because no commercial airline seems to want to take them. it might be the raf. so there's still lots to be tidied up, but one good piece of news for the government. it's recently emerged that the european court of human rights has, in fact substantially toughened the criteria for granting those pyjama injunction , which saw a pyjama injunction, which saw a flight of people on the tarmac a year or so ago, taken off one by one. and they are now saying that for that to happen, they will have to be an imminent risk of irreparable harm, and that would only be used in the most exceptional circumstances . that exceptional circumstances. that does mirror the government's language in the new legislation that it's putting through parliament. so they feel a bit more hopeful that european courts won't block these flights

taking off. if they do get people onto planes . people onto planes. >> katherine forster i love your optimism . thank you. joining us optimism. thank you. joining us from downing street this afternoon. speak to you later in the show. now moving on. shadow chancellor rachel reeves says labour's plans to crack down on tax dodgers to fill a hole in her spending plans is not rocket science, and it comes after jeremy hunt adopted some of labour's policies to fund his pre—election cut in national insurance. well, i'm joined now by political commentator benedict spence. welcome to the show , benedict. so the latest show, benedict. so the latest ruse, because jeremy hunt basically nicked the non—dom idea at the spring budget announcement , but now idea at the spring budget announcement, but now is a crackdown on tax dodgers . they crackdown on tax dodgers. they reckon they can collect £36 billion. but there's a lot of questions there, benedict. that's going to take a lot of manpower. it's going to take a lot of tax, man. you can't even get hold tax man for love get hold of a tax man for love nor how this to nor money. how is this going to work, well going to start ,

work, well it's going to start, by investing over half a billion in hmrc to hire more tax officials. >> so let's hope that this tax , >> so let's hope that this tax, recuperation drive does work. because my word, that's a lot of money spend on employing money to spend on employing people. but of course, i mean, you touched upon there fact you touched upon there the fact that coming, hot on the that this is coming, hot on the heels hunts, oh, my word. >> jeremy hunts, at. >> jeremy hunts, at. >> you know what? >> you know what? >> let's apologise for that and move on. yeah >> my word, jeremy hunts apologies, attempt to, get out ahead of labour with, the, with with, the latest spring budget . with, the latest spring budget. obviously, you know, the shortfall in tax has been a bit of an issue for some time . of an issue for some time. labour has been highlighting it for long trying to for a very long time, trying to find ageing economy find money in an ageing economy with of sluggish with quite sort of sluggish growth, going to be growth, is always going to be very difficult. to that very difficult. and to hear that there's shortfall, as there's sort of a shortfall, as you said, of about 36 billion, i mean, hell hole in mean, that's a hell of a hole in the public, finances, how it is that going to it, that you're going to do it, though, has though, of course, this has always the great always been one of the great issues tories, isn't it, issues in the tories, isn't it, that you know, if you sort of aboush that you know, if you sort of abolish the non—dom status,

you're sort of you're actively sort of hindering, investment in the economy of course, economy because of course, you're going to force people overseas. of overseas. i've always sort of been quizzical been slightly quizzical about that, the super been slightly quizzical about that are the super been slightly quizzical about that are only the super been slightly quizzical about that are only going the super been slightly quizzical about that are only going to the super been slightly quizzical about that are only going to invest)er been slightly quizzical about that are only going to invest in rich are only going to invest in a country that they deem doesn't have does have sclerotic growth and does actually have the kind of actually have the right kind of environment businesses environment for their businesses to i think it's to flourish. and i think it's arguable that this country doesn't have that with of arguable that this country doe red have that with of arguable that this country doe red tape that with of arguable that this country doe red tape that already of the red tape that already exists, but that's by by exists, but that's by the by labour that they're labour think that they're going to a lot of to be able to raise a lot of money way. suspect money this way. i suspect it won't happen there are won't happen because there are many our tax many loopholes in our tax system, around which the super rich can get paying those rich can get around paying those sorts you were sorts of taxes. even if you were to rid of the non—dom to get rid of the non—dom status, ultimately, what it tells they're hiring status, ultimately, what it tebillion they're hiring status, ultimately, what it tebillion worth y're hiring status, ultimately, what it tebillion worth of; hiring status, ultimately, what it tebillion worth of new ng men, a billion worth of new tax men, this is actually going to be a crackdown on medium businesses and people . that's why and little people. that's why you that many you you hire that many people, you know , potentially hundreds if know, potentially hundreds if not thousands of new hmrc employees. going to be employees. this is going to be something i think ordinary something that i think ordinary people in people feel the hit in their pockets . at time when the pockets. and at a time when the tax already at its tax burden is already at its highest , you tax burden is already at its highest, you really do tax burden is already at its highest , you really do have to highest, you really do have to wonder how much more scope is there take money out out there to take money out of out

of of ordinary people's pay of out of ordinary people's pay packages and ordinary businesses that struggling? packages and ordinary businesses that mean, struggling? packages and ordinary businesses that mean, everybody|ling? packages and ordinary businesses that mean, everybody should pay >> i mean, everybody should pay their fair share of tax. of course, ben, and expense , that's course, ben, and expense, that's the case. but you and i both know people with clever know clever people with clever accountants. they know how to get you are get around this. whereas you are absolutely . the struggling get around this. whereas you are absolltoly . the struggling get around this. whereas you are absollto medium the struggling get around this. whereas you are absollto medium enterprises,ng get around this. whereas you are absollto medium enterprises, the small to medium enterprises, the absolute room of the absolute engine room of the economy, the ones who've been struggling through the pandemic to make ends meet, feeling to make ends meet, the feeling of an army of taxman coming after them. i wonder if that's a policy that reflects this idea of for the many and not the few. >> what i think it shows is that the labour party have as few ideas of how to sort of generate growth as the tories do. ultimately, i think you could say that's probably been one of the criticisms of the tories the big criticisms of the tories over the last 14 years is that, you know, were to you know, they were supposed to be of thatcher, be the party of thatcher, a party small taxes, party of party of small taxes, party of going of in encouraging going and sort of in encouraging people businesses going and sort of in encouraging pe provide businesses going and sort of in encouraging pe provide a, businesses going and sort of in encouraging pe provide a, you1sinesses going and sort of in encouraging pe provide a, you knowses going and sort of in encouraging pe provide a, you know ,3s going and sort of in encouraging pe provide a, you know , a growth to provide a, you know, a growth in the private sector that hasn't as all hasn't materialised. as we all know, an absolute know, it's been an absolute disaster the disaster on that front. the labour under keir starmer,

labour party under keir starmer, because there are wings of the labour party that think slightly differently. particular differently. but this particular iteration . in that iteration is continuity. in that sense it is about more big state, it's about more taxes, it's about more sort of intervention in your life . and intervention in your life. and when you look at what it is that it's being framed as rachel reevesis it's being framed as rachel reeves is talking about this in terms of, you know, finding money for the nhs, but also for finding school, you know, for funding school breakfast initiatives. that's basically just class parents, just a to middle class parents, because have meal because we already have meal policies in place for underprivileged for underprivileged children for very poor children. what this is, is about making sure that everybody's has free everybody's child has free school meals, free school school meals, has free school breakfasts, economically breakfasts, is that economically a sensible policy? no, but it is going very popular amongst going to be very popular amongst certain people who vote. so once again, one of those again, it's one of those policies you think, policies that you think, well, you're the you're potentially hindering the overall economy , overall growth of the economy, which of course has long term ramifications. in order to sort of prop up your vote in the short tum. and i hate to say it, that's the thing that the tories have been guilty of for so long. that's why we have a high

that's why we have such a high tax burden. why it is tax burden. that's why it is that, working people tax burden. that's why it is tha'being working people tax burden. that's why it is tha'being disproportionately ple are being disproportionately hit. businesses are being hit. my businesses are being disproportionately is disproportionately hit. that is dare i say it. why the opportunities, the economic opportunities, the economic opportunities of brexit have not been realised? because, you know, doesn't short know, that doesn't make short tum political expediency. so if people hoping change people were hoping for change under labour, and i know they've done an awful lot to try to convince sections of the centre and the centre right press that they different. i'm not sure they are different. i'm not sure that's be case. that's going to be the case. >> yeah, you're absolutely right. as right. there's no such thing as a lunch. there's certainly a free lunch. there's certainly no a free no such thing as a free breakfast club. it's got to be paid by somehow. that's paid for by somehow. and that's going to mean squeezing people where taxation . where it hurts via taxation. thanks for joining where it hurts via taxation. thanks forjoining us on the thanks for joining us on the show, benedict spence. always a pleasure . there's lots more pleasure. there's lots more still to come between now and 4:00. and i'll talk about the report that's expected to recommend a major change to how children think they're children who think they're transgender are actually treated. it could be a huge breakthrough of common sense. but first, it's time for your latest news headlines with sophia wenzler.

morning. now, medbury holiday park behind me is about a 100m from the beach . now along this from the beach. now along this this beach line here, there is a sign you obviously can't see it's behind the camera, but there is sea defences which have eroded in one particular area. now it's believed that the waters came in through that particular access route and then into the park . particular access route and then into the park. in the early hours, many people saying that they were actually woken up about 130, 230 in the morning when they realised that they stepped out of bed to go to the loo and realised that they were standing in water. another guy looked out of his bedroom window, opened the curtains and saw his car floating past. so they were evacuated from here in they were evacuated from here in the early hours to a local nearby locals have been nearby church. locals have been rallying around, taking them blankets so on blankets and clothing and so on because obviously, as you understand, a lot of them had to get sharpish . and now get out pretty sharpish. and now they've to another they've been taken to another houday they've been taken to another holiday further along holiday park just further along the coast. but locals have been telling that this was

telling me that this was a situation that was waiting to happen. situation that was waiting to happen . this absolutely happen. this absolutely horrendous. you know, it's like and it wouldn't have taken it was a few hours before they got them all out. >> so they must have been freezing and they had no power apparently. so they're sort of sitting their mobile sitting there with their mobile phone torches. >> the locals all saying this has just been an accident waiting to happen. it's going to, you know, was i think to, you know, it was i think it's happened than they it's happened sooner than they expected sea expected to because the sea defences were put in probably about ten years ago, 12 years ago. >> i can't believe that. >> i can't believe that. >> you know, the kind of damage that the water has done. and everybody's all their everybody's lost all their belongings and everything that, you this season, this you know, this season, this summer season will drift away because people won't be able to come, you know, they won't have dned come, you know, they won't have dried out. >> it's all very well saying you can come in may, but they can come in in may, but they won't dried out by then, won't have dried out by then, particularly if weather particularly if the weather continues . continues like this. >> well, can hear, a lot >> well, as you can hear, a lot of they're blaming the of people they're blaming the poorly maintained, as they say, sea defences . they're saying

sea defences. they're saying that's the fault of the environment agency. we've been in touch with we've asked in touch with them. we've asked them statement them to provide a statement which they will do. we which they said they will do. we haven't yet. haven't received that just yet. however chalet owners are starting to come down this path now to check out the damage to their property. wandering back up and telling me that the situation does not look good. watermarks on the furniture. clearly that water has got inside of the chalets and has done severe damage to the interior of those buildings. they're saying that has wiped out the entire season for them. now they're just going to be unusable. there had been talk about this park reopening somewhere sometime around mid—may. they're saying the season is just wiped out, and locals very worried that that is going to severely affect business here. >> yeah, well, it's devastating for news the holiday park owners. the properties there , owners. the properties there, they need every penny they can get. thank you for that update . get. thank you for that update. and to add to that, in cornwall there are astonishing scenes earlier huts being

earlier of beach huts being swept the cliff by waves swept off the cliff by waves coming in. so often you speak to people in these areas when they talk here at gb news say, talk to us here at gb news say, this just feels like this was avoidable the sea defences, avoidable by the sea defences, better maintenance, better drainage, maintenance, dredging , this could be avoided. dredging, this could be avoided. my dredging, this could be avoided. my heart goes out to all of those people . they're struggling those people. they're struggling to their properties dry and to get their properties dry and shipshape the holiday shipshape for the holiday season, and in around an hour's time, i'll be joined by an expert from the met office. and i've just one question for him is to flaming? is it ever going to flaming? well, stop raining now, a major review into how children who think their transgender are treated is set to claim that they may, in fact, have mental health problems and should be treated more holistically and not with hormones. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel .

over how schools handle pupils who say that they are transgender and help that process often in secrecy. well i'm joined now by james essers, who is the co—founder of thoughtful therapies, and that's a group of people who say they're concerned about the impact of gender identity ideology on children and young people. welcome to the show, james. always a pleasure. this report is likely to horrify the trans community and the activists, but do you think it's activists, but do you think it's a much needed dose of calm and common sense in a very heated area ? area? >> 100% martin. although in truth, you know, it's not really telling us anything we didn't already know , you know, we already know, you know, we already know, you know, we already knew that child who already knew that a child who believes that they're trapped in the wrong body might be suffering from a mental health condition. >> we already knew that artificially halting a young child's puberty might cause them a bit of harm. >> so i don't believe there's

anything particularly new about this report. >> but what is crucial is that it now exists, and this is an independent, you know, report carried out and conducted by a highly acclaimed paediatrician. so there can be no doubt now there can be no arguments from there can be no arguments from the other side that there was bias prejudice or bigotry. bias or prejudice or bigotry. >> you know, the facts are the facts . facts. >> yeah. and, james, some of the factual evidence coming out of this report were led to believe tomorrow doctor cass tomorrow from doctor hilary cass is trans people identifying is a trans people identifying people as trans often from people as trans often come from difficult family situations. they may have suffered abuse in the past or are more likely to be neurodiverse, particularly on the autistic spectrum, all of which applies a lot of logic and a lot of factual framework to what has until now been more like a belief system. >> well, that's that's the issue . and, you know, gender ideology is managed to weave its way into society and create this notion that we all have this unique gender identity and anyone can

transition , and it's possible to transition, and it's possible to change sex in reality. >> we have to come back to biological reality. >> you know, sex is binary and immutable, and we must treat this for what it is, which is a mental health condition. >> you know, that's why i set up this group thoughtful therapists, we believe therapists, because we believe that be dealt with that this should be dealt with through explorative therapy like we for any other mental we do for any other mental health condition. >> you there's of >> you know, there's lots of reasons why people feel unhappy with their bodies. >> if a client comes to >> but if a client comes to a therapist believing that therapist and believing that they horrendously they are, you know, horrendously ugly or, or terribly obese, the therapists response is not to suggest that they undergo lipo suction or plastic surgery, but thatis suction or plastic surgery, but that is exactly what has happenedin that is exactly what has happened in relation to gender dysphoria . dysphoria. >> and james is important to note that this report isn't brushing all this to one side. it's saying people who feel confused, they deserve sympathy, they deserve help, but they don't deserve to be fast tracked towards hormonal treatment or even surgical methods. they

deserve to be assessed methodically and over time . methodically and over time. >> and that's exactly how it should be. and that is how you demonstrate care and compassion for a group of people in society, particularly those who are struggling with a debilitating mental health condition. >> it isn't simply nod along and affirm all of their delusional beliefs. >> it is to actually explore openly and with empathy what is going on for them. >> i mean, this is a debilitating mental health condition. >> there is no doubt about it. >> there is no doubt about it. >> but it is cruel to suggest to children the answer to children that the answer to their and their body is their disease and their body is through irreversible medication and . and surgery. >> james, do you think this report will be a breakthrough moment not only in the uk but perhaps ? perhaps globally? >> i hope so. there's a lot of eyes turned on to the united kingdom, and we do seem to be a fair bit ahead of the game compared to other countries. i think see think what's crucial is to see what comes off the back of the report. now, we've some report. now, we've seen some great advancements over recent

months. know, the nhs months. you know, the nhs decision prescribing decision to stop prescribing puberty blockers just today, it seems conversion seems as if the conversion therapy ban may be dead in the water, which is also extremely positive news. but it'll be interesting to see what steps the government take off the back of this. you know, increasingly, myself and others believe that we a holistic public we need a holistic public inquiry to get to the bottom of how exactly this ideology managed to infect our society. >> okay, james asus and the co—founder of thorpe, thoughtful therapists , thank you very much therapists, thank you very much for joining us on the show this afternoon . now, i've got a bunch afternoon. now, i've got a bunch of emails i asked you for earlier on, and you've been sending them in in your droves, particularly topic of particularly on the topic of rwanda. of course, the rwandan premier britain talking to premier is in britain talking to our premier rishi sunak today, still hoping to get those flights off the ground. you, however, are not quite so optimistic. this is from derek. the only way the uk will be flying to rwanda if flying anyone to rwanda is if they wings themselves and they grow wings themselves and migrate south with the sparrows

in october. derek a colourful image you paint. i detect a hefty dollop of cynicism. debbie adds this where are they going to go if they get the planes going, if all the houses are sold and who gets the money when they are sold? now that is another great point. because of all of those 700 appointments that remember suella that were made, remember suella braverman, the then home secretary, went out and did that photo call in front of them? we found today in a rather found out today in a rather embarrassing article in the times. most of them have been sold locals room for sold to locals only room for a few asylum seekers from few dozen asylum seekers from britain. if they ever get into the mode to go forward. now you can get in touch. please send your emails throughout the rest of the show. there's a new way for you. get in touch with me here at gb news. send your views and your comments by and post your comments by visiting news. com visiting gb news. com immunoassay. you can see me . i'm immunoassay. you can see me. i'm logged on. get stuck in, but please keep it nice and convivial. now the islamic state

but they seem to be back. of course, the moscow massacre and now this. how credible are these threats , they are credible. and threats, they are credible. and isis continues to be a significant threat, not the threat it once was. because, of course, when isis led to prominence and we had all of these isis directed and isis inspired attacks across western countries, you then had this coalition operation against isis, particularly in and around syria, that was largely successful and very significantly degrading isis. but what it also did was scatter isis. so it scattered to a number of countries. for instance , isis k, which operates instance, isis k, which operates out of afghanistan , is very out of afghanistan, is very significant and growing. and indeed , this is the group that indeed, this is the group that was behind or at least claims to be behind the moscow theatre

attack just last month, in which more than 140 people were killed, and what isis has never lost, even though it has been degraded, it has never lost its ability to continue to pump out the propaganda and to inspire others to carry out attacks on its behalf. you remember, of course, just last october, in terms of sporting venues and sporting fixtures , was being sporting fixtures, was being targeted by islamists , there was targeted by islamists, there was that attack in brussels where two swedish football fans were shot dead in an islamist inspired terrorist attack . and inspired terrorist attack. and then if you think back to 2015, of course , at the height of isis of course, at the height of isis terrorist attacks, there that attacked multiple venues in paris, also targeted, an international football game that was taking place at the stade de france . thankfully, on that

france. thankfully, on that occasion, the three suicide bombers couldn't get inside the stadium and detonated their devices outside . but it's being devices outside. but it's being taken seriously. there's these two games that are taking place this evening, one in london at the emirates, the other taking place of course, in madrid, where man city fans are the spanish government, the french government are upping their for, their security services response , following this threat. and we've now heard from scotland yard as well that there will be robust policing , in operation robust policing, in operation around the emirates stadium as well as they build up to that match. this evening. >> and as you say, mark, 2000 national guard and extra security, national police, civil guard officers deployed on the streets of madrid, the terror rating there is four out of five. they're taking it very, very seriously. what kind of policing do you think we'll see tonight at the emirates? you're expecting armed response officers no

officers to be in attendance, no doubt. >> well, what you will see is, of a very visible of course, a very visible policing, which will involve hundreds of officers who will be outside the stadium and on the routes leading up to the stadium, including the transportation hubs, the train stations , where fans will arrive stations, where fans will arrive to go to the emirates, but in addition to that , well, you'll addition to that, well, you'll also have are the more sort of covert policing operations and indeed security services operations as well . they will be operations as well. they will be keeping an eye on individuals who could potentially cause a threat. but the difficulty that they always have is the great unknown. it's those that have been radicalised online that they might not know about and have a handle on in terms of the risk they pose. these are the kind of individuals that could be radicalised very quickly and don't need much in the way of

sophistication to cause a lot of damage. with a vehicle, with a knife, whatever they might choose. >> okay. mark white, thank you very much for that comprehensive update, as ever, about those champions league fixtures tonight and tomorrow being targeted isis threat. now, a targeted by isis threat. now, a former nurse has been . sentenced former nurse has been. sentenced to seven years in jail for the ill treatment of a child. tracy menhinick was found guilty of harming a child with laxatives over a three year period, which affected the child's development. and let's cross now to glasgow high court, where our scotland reporter tony mcguire has been following this harrowing story. tony, quite incredible . story. what's the incredible. story. what's the latest ? latest? >> indeed. good afternoon martin. it's quite incredible. and that seems to be the mood in the courtroom today. tracy ann minhinnick was sentenced to seven years in prison for her, administering an industrial

amount of unprescribed laxatives to a child . who at the time was to a child. who at the time was between the ages of three and six. the boy who cannot be named for legal reasons, became so ill that a physician who saw him when he went into the aberdeen royal hospital for sick children , he said that he his body looked emaciated, weighing just ten kilograms at the age of five. now now the tracy and mc mc mackinnon. she was convicted at the high court of aberdeen in february . quite a lengthy trial, february. quite a lengthy trial, 19 days in court , 5500 pages of 19 days in court, 5500 pages of court documentation and yet the jury court documentation and yet the jury took a one hour to render their unanimous guilty verdict. so she was working as an auxiliary nurse, also in aberdeen, and she consented to

treatments, procedures and operations , at which the child, operations, at which the child, which she knew were unnecessary. and we heard today in the court judge lady drummond said all of this permanent disfigurement and permanent impairment and to the danger of risk of life, lord, lady, sorry. lady drummond described the child's closest brush with death as well, talking about floppy episodes. when the child became so ill that it had to be resuscitated. several times. now, as we heard the victim is left with permanent disfigurement, stunted growth, and there's high expectations of learning difficulties through his life. so judge lady drummond said that it's beyond her understanding why anybody would want to inflict such severe harm and suffering on a child over three years between 2014 and 2017. she

told, the defendant that you were an auxiliary nurse. new exactly what you were doing. even once admitted to hospital, you continued to give him dangerous levels of laxatives. and we heard how doctors in those hospitals were so baffled by the child's condition that they performed these relationships , these operations, relationships, these operations, unnecessarily. well, tracy mackinnon and stood on watching, quite a harrowing story and indeed , she was told that the indeed, she was told that the only fitting sentence was for her ill treatment over a lengthy period, and to mark society's abhorrence of this conduct would be a lengthy one. and that was before sentencing her to seven years in prison . years in prison. >> tony mcguire. an absolutely harrowing story. doctors trying to save the child while menhenick was trying to do the precise opposite . yeah, for precise opposite. yeah, for three years, an astonishing act

knocking at your door? i'm going to ask our economics and business editor, liam halligan, that question right after this . that question right after this. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel

>> earlier on breakfast. bound by wild desire i fell into a ring of fire i can't even go that low. but it was. >> it was a ring of fire. >> it was a ring of fire. >> you have to be in a very specific area on earth to witness it, and of course, yesterday in the few hours ago, people in north america and mexico were lucky enough to witness the event when people right across britain are paying more more tax. more and more tax. >> it's wrong that a >> we think it's wrong that a minority getting away minority are getting away without paying what they owe. >> turns me cold. >> it still turns me cold. remembering that moment that i found out operation forth bridge was coming into play, philip always said, you know, my duty is to support my wife as

monarch. >> and that's the position he never wavered from. what whatever else he did from six, it's breakfast on gb news. >> welcome back. it's 423. i'm martin daubney and this is gb news now. later in the show , news now. later in the show, i'll tell you about the man who's suing more than 50 women for over £16 million because he says they've ruined his love life. he's a dating website loser. it's a splendid story. but before that, shadow chancellor rachel reeves unveils plans to fund commitments to schools and the nhs by clamping down on tax avoidance, the labour party says their tax crackdown will net £5 billion a year by the end of the next parliament. well, i'm joined now by gb news economics and business editor liam halligan with on the money . liam, welcome

with on the money. liam, welcome to the show. always a delight. now of course everybody should pay now of course everybody should pay their fair whack of tax. the question is, is an army of tax men knocking on people's door? the right answer? >> this is a sort of hardy perennial of the british political cycle. martin once it comes into election season, both the main parties , they don't the main parties, they don't want to raise tax rates, but they do want to spend more money and promise more goodies for window voters. and so window shopping voters. and so they say, i know we'll conjure up some extra money painlessly by just clamping down on tax evasion, which of course, is illegal, and tax avoidance, which is legally arranging your affairs. so you minimise the amount of tax that you pay. rachel reeves has been out in force this morning, stressing that labour's spending plans are fully funded, fully costed but stressing that she does think she can raise extra money by

clamping down on tax evasion and avoidance. let's have a look at some of the numbers. so rachel reeves, the shadow chancellor, says that she thinks labour says that she thinks the labour government can raise £2.6 billion a year by the end of the next parliament. i'd say if you raise the basic rate of income tax by one p, you get about £6 billion. so £2.6 billion is quite a small amount of money in the grand scheme of things. she thinks she can raise another £2.4 billion from tax , broader £2.4 billion from tax, broader tax evasion. so about half the money she wants to claim back is from those wealthy, non—doms foreigners living in the uk who aren't taxed on their worldwide income. the other half is from what she and she claims the national audit office , the sort national audit office, the sort of whitehall's in—house watchdog, says is money that's on the table that the tax authorities, with a bit of extra effort could collect. she wants to spend that £5 billion or so.

as i say, that's equivalent to roughly one p on the basic rate of income tax on more nhs appointments, more dental appointments, more dental appointments, tackling those waiting lists , which are now at waiting lists, which are now at record levels, some 9 million uk adults are estimated to be on an nhs waiting list at the moment. and also she wants to fund what labour are calling free breakfast clubs at primary schools . and the shadow schools. and the shadow chancellor. she's at pains to stress almost on autopilot in every single media interview she does , everything in a labour does, everything in a labour manifesto will be fully costed and fully funded. she says she does not want the accusation to gain ground that labour will either raise taxes or they'll increase borrowing more and so spook the financial markets. she isn't the first labour chancellor to claim these things, to claim that she can get more money from clamping down on tax avoidance and tackling , the issue of the rich tackling, the issue of the rich paying tackling, the issue of the rich paying less tax disproportionately than the poon disproportionately than the poor. she's not the first labour chancellor to say that, and she certainly won't be the last.

but, you know, in fairness to the to rachel reeves, the tories have also claimed that they're going savings by going to make savings by clamping down on tax avoidance and government waste. and so on. a lot of this really, martin, i think, is smoke and mirrors with respect to all our politicians, we're talking here about a couple of billion quid here and there in grand scheme of there in the grand scheme of pubuc there in the grand scheme of public spending, which is over £1,100 billion. we're talking about tiny percentages of single digit percentages of overall government spending. this is not great philosophy. statecraft visionary. soublet. sunlit. uplands. statesman ukip. this is really kind of nitpicking in a desperate attempt to differentiate yourself from the other party, which many people would say politicians are all the same. >> so you both serve liam halligan as ever , always on the halligan as ever, always on the money. and i'm now joined in the studio by the former labour minister, bill rammell. you hear it halligan. they're it from liam halligan. they're desperate measures. at desperate measures. tinkering at the raise

the edges won't really raise more than a few billion quid, with £2.6 trillion in debt. jeremy hunt nick's your non—dom idea. this is it. going to cut the mustard? >> yes , i think it is. and let's >> yes, i think it is. and let's put it in context. this is about fiscal credibility . and after fiscal credibility. and after the chaos of the liz truss regime that we're all still paying regime that we're all still paying for, that really matters to labour so yes, to the labour party. so yes, they're relatively small sums, but we've number of but we've made a number of specific , public spending specific, public spending commitments that are symbolic of the of travel under the direction of travel under a labour government. and we want to show responsibly how we're going to pay for them. so the first element of paying for them, jeremy hunt, having them, afterjeremy hunt, having previously opposed abolishing non—dom said non—dom status, took it and said he'd the money to fund he'd used the money to fund national insurance cuts. rachel reeves has been pouring over the red book. and so firstly , we're red book. and so firstly, we're going to end those non—dom loopholes. so the fact that you can put your overseas income in a trust fund to avoid inheritance tax, that's a scandal that should be abolished. we'll close that gap. but more significantly , is the

but more significantly, is the parliament long commitment to close the so—called tax gap, the difference between what hmrc , difference between what hmrc, expects by way of raising in taxation and what it actually receives now that gap actually went down under the last labour government. i'll be fair. it actually went down under cameron, under it's gone cameron, under sunak. it's gone up and that's what we're going to be targeting. >> a lot of that though, is the billions and billions we spent on lockdowns. that's we're on lockdowns. that's why we're in black in this huge economic black hole. i the is , will hole. i guess the point is, will it work? because rich people, smart people , they have clever smart people, they have clever accountants, they know how to dodge this legally , or they just dodge this legally, or they just leave the country. have we not learned from history bill that if we tax the richest and we squeeze the pips out, they just go somewhere else in the world and to britain? and don't come to britain? we can't passively them can't passively expect them just to can we? to swallow this up, can we? >> but look, you know, >> but, but but look, you know, i that tax gap i just said that tax gap was actually under the last actually reduced under the last labour government. it was reduced david cameron. reduced under david cameron. it's gone up under rishi sunak.

he's his off the ball. he's taken his eye off the ball. we're saying we're going to employ 5000 and investment 5000 extra tax compliance officers to chase this income and interestingly, it's going to be targeted at the highest earners because if you look at the research every pound tax research for every pound on tax compliance invested in standard rate taxpayers, the return is about £6. for top rate taxpayers, it's £11.40. so that's what you should do. but i'm not going to overstate this. this is not going to generate the huge funds that we need to reinvest in our public services. that's going to come through economic growth , through our economic growth, through our house building programme, through infrastructure development, through green energy and stopping the chaos that we've had, which means that businesses don't invest over the last 14 years, an army of tax men , you know, knocking on the men, you know, knocking on the doom men, you know, knocking on the door, twitching curtains of the electorate . electorate. >> it's not the sexiest vote winner, is it? >> but it's about deterrence . >> but it's about deterrence. you know, the vast majority of people which are

people pay the taxes which are due. and if there's that small minority out there who dodge it, i think most reasonable people would say that they should be chased. and actually the deterrent effect of having 5000 more tax compliance officers will shift hearts and minds on that issue. >> great stuff. bill ramos, pleasure to have you in the studio. always see down studio. always see you down the line. labour minister line. former labour minister bill cheers, bill rammell. cheers, mate. thank lots more thank you. there's lots more still to between now and still to come between now and 5:00. the way more 5:00. and on the way more flooding misery as more than 200 poor were evacuated in poor people were evacuated in west sussex after a river burst its banks calamity at that houday its banks calamity at that holiday home, there . but first, holiday home, there. but first, it's holiday home, there. but first, wsfime holiday home, there. but first, it's time for your latest news headunes it's time for your latest news headlines and it's polly middlehurst . middlehurst. >> the top stories this hour. european football's governing body has insisted that all of this week's champions league quarterfinals will go ahead as planned, despite an islamic state terror threat. arsenal are

foreign secretary lord david cameron is holding a press conference alongside the us secretary of state, antony blinken. >> defence products . >> defence products. >> defence products. >> and the uk was the first country to formally size and finalise the bilateral security agreements that 30 countries have either now concluded. >> negotiations on, or are in the process of negotiating with ukraine to help ukraine develop a future force, one that can deter aggression and defend itself in the future . we talked itself in the future. we talked about ways to strengthen efforts to prevent the transfer and weapons of materiel to russia for use in ukraine, and this is an ongoing challenge, and we see, weapons. we also see technologies to support the defence industrial base in

russia coming from north korea, from iran, from china. this is an area of particular concern for not only the united states and the united kingdom, but many of our allies and partners throughout europe, we also, talked about the imperative of getting assistance to ukraine. now, in terms of additional munitions, air defences, artillery. we both heard last week from the ukrainian foreign minister, kuleba, at nato about the immediate needs. both of our countries are , pressing countries are, pressing ourselves and pressing others to do this. and in that light, the supplemental budget request the president biden has made of congress is urgent. president biden has made of congress is urgent . and it's congress is urgent. and it's imperative, house is now back in session, we look to see that brought before the house and to get a vote as quickly as possible . and again, i've said possible. and again, i've said this before, but it is always worth reminding that when it comes to burden sharing, i have

never seen a better example in my time in government. now, never seen a better example in my time in government . now, over my time in government. now, over 30 years, the united states has done extraordinary things for ukraine, our european partners and others beyond europe, around the world have done even more over the last two years, military support, economic support, humanitarian support. so, there's genuine burden sharing and carrying the load. we need to continue to do our part. and again, i'll remind that the overwhelming majority of the resources in the supplemental budget request will actually be invested right here in the united states, in our own defence industrial base, to produce what ukraine needs. but providing, in the meantime, good american jobs. we, of course, discussed the situation in the middle east and in gaza , israel middle east and in gaza, israel has made important commitments to significantly increase the supply of humanitarian assistance throughout gaza and has taken some initial actions

as well, to move on those commitments, we're looking at a number of critical things that need to happen in the coming days, including opening a new northern point of entry for assistance into gaza, using ashdod on a regular basis , ashdod on a regular basis, maximising the flow of assistance from jordan. as well assistance from jordan. as well as putting in place, a much more effective deconfliction mechanism with the humanitarian groups that are providing assistance , just yesterday, more assistance, just yesterday, more than 400 trucks were cleared to go into gaza , and that is the go into gaza, and that is the most since october 7th in any given day. but what matters is results and sustained results. and this is what we will be looking at very carefully in the days ahead , and that includes days ahead, and that includes making sure that the assistance that gets into gaza is distributed effectively throughout gaza , not just in the throughout gaza, not just in the south or in central gaza. it has to get to the north as well, of course , we have our own citizens

course, we have our own citizens who remain hostage in gaza, held by hamas, we continue to work very closely with israel, with eqypt ' very closely with israel, with egypt , with qatar, on getting an egypt, with qatar, on getting an agreement that would result in an immediate ceasefire and the release of hostages and also create even better conditions for surging assistance to those who it in gaza, two other who need it in gaza, two other quick things i wanted to touch on in the indo—pacific. our two countries are aligned, on the key issues before us in the indo—pacific, ensuring peace and stability across the taiwan strait, the south china sea, the korean peninsula. standing up when the prc is engaged in unfair trade practices and non—market practices , including non—market practices, including addressing the global economic consequences of chinese industrial overcapacity and the need for level playing field, secretary yellen spoke very clearly and forcefully to this dunng clearly and forcefully to this during her recent trip to china. this is an ongoing concern for our countries and for many other countries around the world. and of course, we have our aukus,

agreement modernising partnerships to meet future challenges to promote a free and open indo—pacific. australia's election last month , a british election last month, a british companies to develop nuclear powered submarines is a milestone in actually integrating our defence industrial bases , we also industrial bases, we also discussed, partnerships with other countries through aukus, including one that we'll discuss with japan when prime minister kishida is here this week, and having partners engaged, particularly in pillar two activity, this is something that will carry this, this partnership forward. finally, we're working together in this hemisphere to address shared interests and to try to advance peace, security and opportunity . peace, security and opportunity. i welcome the conversations that we had about that as well. with that , david, let we had about that as well. with that, david, let me turn it over to you. >> well, thank you much, >> well, thank you very much, tony. good to be back in >> it's very good to be back in washington. good back washington. very good to be back with time of danger with you. in a time of danger like international

like this in international affairs, close alliances really matter. and there is no closer alliance for us than our partnership with the united states. and i think the work we've been doing here and in nato and what we'll be doing at the g7 really demonstrates that on ukraine. >> i want to echo what tony said. put simply, we know what works. >> we know what they need, and we know what is right for us in terms of what works. >> we know that if we give the ukrainians the support they deserve, they can win this war. >> they can achieve the just peace that they deserve. they've sunk 25% of russia's black sea fleet. >> they've inflicted over 350,000 casualties on, russian armed forces, who launched this unprovoked and unjustified aggression and we know that if we keep on backing them, we can lead this to the right conclusion. >> and we know what they need . >> and we know what they need. >> and we know what they need. >> we know they need air defences. the ukrainian foreign minister was so clear about

that.in minister was so clear about that. in nato. we know they need ammunition. there's the excellent czech initiative to bnng excellent czech initiative to bring forward ammunition that's going to arrive in june and even before that, britain is taking action to source more ammunition for them. >> in the run up to that, we know that they need support from nato allies and a good outcome to the nato summit, which we were discussing this morning . were discussing this morning. >> and we know that they need money the form of the frozen money in the form of the frozen russian sovereign assets. and we're making good progress in how to access that funds on an agreed basis that i think we can take forward at the g7. and of course, in terms of the money they need and the support they need, perhaps nothing is more important the supplemental important than the supplemental that the congress is looking at at and i come here at the moment. and i come here with, no intention to lecture anybody or tell anybody what to do or get in the way of the process of politics and other things in the united states. i just come here as a great friend and believer in this country and

and believer in this country and a believer that it's profoundly in your interest and your security and your future and the future of all your partners to release this money and let it through. and i'm looking forward to meetings. i'm going to be having in congress, later today. and above all, we know what's right for us. we know that it is right for us. we know that it is right to stop putin's aggression. know it's right aggression. we know it's right for militaries and our for our own militaries and our own production bases to ramp up production , not just for production, not just for ukraine, but for our own stocks. and as tony said , so many of the and as tony said, so many of the jobs created will be jobs created in united created here in the united states. and when states. and indeed, when we're deaung states. and indeed, when we're dealing weapon dealing with our own weapon systems, in the uk, we know systems, jobs in the uk, we know it's right to send this very clear message to all those watching around the world, including that we stand including china, that we stand by, our allies, that we don't reward, aggression, that we help those who are trying to fight it off, and we know it's right for our that leads to our own security. that leads to the nato conference. we had some excellent discussions. i remember chairing the nato summit in wales 2014. back summit in wales in 2014. back then, only three countries met

then, only three countries met the two percentage of gdp the two percentage points of gdp on defence spending. i'm proud to say britain was one of them. we're to around we're now up to around 20 countries of an alliance of countries out of an alliance of 32 members, and i think can 32 members, and i think we can make real progress between now and the summit in washington , and the summit in washington, with every country showing how they're going to get from where they're going to get from where they are now to that 2. and i would urge all those countries to think about how they can do it. and we'll also be looking at this mission for ukraine, about how nato can do more to coordinate and help that country in its struggle, on our discussions on israel and gaza, as i said at the weekend, we see this in four very clear ways. one, we back the hostages and their families who are now in day 185 of their appalling captivity. we go hard on getting aid into gaza. it's the right thing to do . and what was thing to do. and what was previously seen as impossible is now possible. and that is hugely welcome. we want to see that followed up. we believe in leading internationally, both at the nations , where we

the united nations, where we achieved a good, resolution on a temporary ceasefire during ramadan and also putting together countries that back and support a future peace process, such as met in munich. and we hope we'll meet again, shortly. but the fourth part of our plan is to support israel and its legitimate right of self—defence to deal with the hamas threat, andifs to deal with the hamas threat, and it's important we maintain that support on a just to be clear, as tony said, we want to see 500 trucks a day. we want to see 500 trucks a day. we want to see the water switch back on. we want to see ashdod. and a northern crossing point opened and crucially, we want to see this deconfliction because getting aid gaza on its own getting aid to gaza on its own isn't enough. you've got to be able to get around gaza . and able to get aid around gaza. and as with the tragic as we saw with the tragic killing the world central killing of the world central kitchen workers in less, you have that deconfliction other things like that could happen. we have a very clear plan a for how we bring this conflict to an end. we have a temporary pause. we turn that into a sustainable

ceasefire. we see hamas leaders removed from gaza. we see the terrorist infrastructure taken down. that is the way to have a political process that brings the war to an end. but we have to be aware if that doesn't work, we have to think about what is plan b, what can humanitarian other humanitarian and other organisations do to make sure that if there conflict in that if there is a conflict in rafah that people can achieve safety, get they safety, they can get food, they can get water, they can get medicine, and people are kept safe and i think that's something we're going to have to be looking and we were be looking at. and we were talking today. finally, on be looking at. and we were talkother today. finally, on be looking at. and we were talkother thingsday. finally, on be looking at. and we were talkother things you finally, on be looking at. and we were talkother things you mentioned, be looking at. and we were tétotally' things you mentioned, be looking at. and we were tétotally agrees you mentioned, be looking at. and we were tétotally agree that] mentioned, be looking at. and we were tétotally agree that aukus)ned, be looking at. and we were tétotally agree that aukus iszd, a totally agree that aukus is a really important alliance . and i really important alliance. and i think one of the ways we can make it a success, as well as making sure we build our submarines and invest on time, is making progress on the itar regulations . if we're is making progress on the itar regulations. if we're going to have a partnership as close as this between three like minded countries, you must be able to have the free flow munitions have the free flow of munitions between finally i just between us. finally i just wanted to mention haiti, where

secretary blinken has said how important it is that we all step forward and help , britain has a forward and help, britain has a number of priorities in that region, including neighbouring countries, that we are responsible for, but nonetheless, we will be providing over £5 million, $7 million to the fund to help support haiti. so on these areas and many others, we've had an excellent conversation, excellent conversation, excellent meeting, and it shows how like minded we are on trying to make progress on these difficult conflicts that are so disrupting and disturbing our world, and we're determined to work together very closely as we do that. thank you , thank you. do that. thank you, thank you. >> the first question goes to olivia gatsas with cbs news. >> thank you very much. that was lowell cameron speaking in washington, dc, that was a joint press conference alongside the us secretary of state, antony blinken, lord cameron spoke. this was a time of dangen spoke. this was a time of danger. and in those times of dangen danger. and in those times of danger, close alliances matter.

on the topic of ukraine, he said, we know what works. we know what they need, and we know that they can win this war, which deserve to do. so he which they deserve to do. so he spoke with 350,000 casualties inflicted upon russian forces to date, they need air defences. they need ammunition and they need support from nato. but above all, they need money on two fronts, he said. they will try and unfreeze frozen russian assets to make that money available to ukraine. he then said we have no intention to lecture you here in america, but as a great friend is profoundly in your interest to release this money. he, of course, refers to $61 billion of aid that is being at the moment, stymied in the american chamber. we know it's right for our own security, he said. in the uk , to continue said. in the uk, to continue supporting ukraine on topic of gaza, 500 trucks per day is his target. turn the water on and to develop a sustainable ceasefire. if that can't work, what is a

plan b? that was david cameron, lord cameron speaking in washington dc. now moving on. it seems to have been raining absolutely forever and today more than 200 people have been evacuated in west sussex after the river arun burst its banks. so the big question is, will it ever blooming well stop raining. well, let's ask a man now who knows? and i'm joined by met office meteorologist aidan mcgivern aden. welcome to the show. it never rains, but it pours . it's non—stop. we've had pours. it's non—stop. we've had the stormiest start to the year , the stormiest start to the year, probably in the entire history of britain. will it ever end ? of britain. will it ever end? >> the good news is there is an end in sight, at least for southern parts of the uk. >> that's where we've seen most of the rainfall in the last few months. >> the track, the jet >> the storm track, the jet stream been shifted south, stream has been shifted south, so been firing low so that's been firing low pressure low pressure into pressure after low pressure into southern parts of the uk.

>> that's why we've so much >> that's why we've seen so much rain, example, sussex. rain, for example, west sussex. >> the next few days >> but over the next few days that storm track is shifting north. now, tomorrow , as it north. now, tomorrow, as it shifts north, it is going to bnng shifts north, it is going to bring more rain across most of the uk, but the heaviest rain this time won't be in the south. it's going to be across north wales, northwest england, western and that's western scotland and that's really the theme as we go into the weekend, rain is going the weekend, the rain is going to focused towards to be more focused towards northwestern parts of the country , western scotland in country, western scotland in particular, whilst southern areas do tend to dry up through the weekend. it's going to stay blustery. there'll still be a few around, but after few showers around, but after tomorrow it's not going to be anywhere as wet as it has anywhere near as wet as it has beenin anywhere near as wet as it has been in the south. >> okay, aidan mcgivern, thanks . >> okay, aidan mcgivern, thanks. i think at least there's some comfort insight. thanks for joining us on the show. always a pleasure. now moving swiftly onwards , council fat cat pay onwards, council fat cat pay surges to new levels with a record rise in the amount of staff trowels ing more than 150 grand a year. and that's according to new research

carried out by the taxpayers alliance. this comes as dozens of english councils, of course, face bankruptcy and millions of households are being hit by soaring council tax bills. how can that be right? well, joining me now is jasmine birtles, founder of money magpie. jasmine always a delight to have you on the show. a huge number of people in councils earning more than the prime minister how can that be right? >> absolutely. how can it be right? and what's not completely talked about is the pensions, because one of the big problems that a lot of councils have is funding the pensions for their former council workers . so former council workers. so i think that that we, the council taxpayer , is, are feeling pretty taxpayer, is, are feeling pretty irritated by these huge salaries, particularly as just a couple of days. well, yesterday we will have seen our council tax go up by an average of 5.1. >> now, that might not sound a lot, but it's incremental.

>> it's growing and growing. you know, if you look at your council tax bill from, say, 15 years ago, considerably years ago, it's considerably different to what it is now, and so with the cost of living crisis and all kinds of bills going up for all sorts of people, the council tax bill is a particularly difficult one for a particularly difficult one for a lot of people to pay, and it will go down really badly, i think with council, council tax payers across the country to think that their council pay workers are being paid, as you say, more than the prime minister himself. >> yeah. jasmine 3106 council staff now receive six figure salaries. that's up 347 in just one year. don't forget we're facing whopping council tax rises. birmingham metro 9% increase. don't forget that's because they themselves are going bankrupt. what can we do about this? not a lot . about this? not a lot. >> well it is a difficult one. >> well it is a difficult one. >> i mean on the on the one hand you could say that there there are some roles in certain big councils where need somebody

councils where you need somebody who's really good. they would have to command a higher salary, however, as you say, when you've got councils that are actually not balancing the books, even you wonder what these people on these very high salaries are doing , these very high salaries are doing, again, the councils themselves would say that they have been treated badly by central government because they have not been given the money that they should have been given by central government , that they should have been given by central government, and that they should have been given by central government , and they by central government, and they have all sorts of payments to make, example , our broken make, for example, our broken care system. so, you know, okay. >> jasmine birtles , i'm afraid >> jasmine birtles, i'm afraid we have to leave it there, cut you off in prime. thank you you off in your prime. thank you very to bring you on very much more to bring you on the go anywhere but the show. don't go anywhere but first. that first. it's time for that weather annie weather again with annie shuttleworth. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hello. good afternoon. welcome to your latest gb news

christmas markets and then they kind of dissipated away. but the moscow concert massacre recently, and now these threats, the islamic state, they seem to be back. how credible are these threats ? threats? >> well, the metropolitan police has tonight sought to reassure the public that it has a robust plan in place for policing this fixture here in north london. but it has also told members of the public to be vigilant and mindful of any risks and to report them if they see anything which they believe is suspicious . at the same time, however, on the continent, both french and spanish authorities have been much sterner with their language, the french interior minister saying that they have considerably enforced their policing process as psg played tomorrow night . and also we have tomorrow night. and also we have a game in madrid tonight and another game in madrid tomorrow

night. both real and atletico playing , and we've heard from playing, and we've heard from the spanish authorities saying that 2000 officers, including those from civil teams, will be on duty for those fixtures. and as you say, martin, this comes as you say, martin, this comes as there has a has been a broader concern about the rise of islamic state in europe. 137 killed in terror attacks attributed to the group in moscow towards the end of last month. in reaction to that event, france raised its terror threat level to the maximum level . so all eyes now on europe level. so all eyes now on europe as it reacts to that threat from as it reacts to that threat from a de facto isis aligned media organisation. >> and charlie, we spoke to our homeland security editor, mark white earlier. he's expecting we will see a robust police presence as the fixture nears. no doubt, armed response officers in attendance, making sure everybody feels safe and if any threat comes up. we dealt with swiftly .

with swiftly. >> yes, i have to say the police presence here does appear to be as it usually would be for a significant european fixture of this kind. but with that statement about a robust plan in place, there's no doubt that the met has reacted to those statements coming out of that isis aligned media organisation. we do know that sports fixtures in the past have been considered an area of considerable target for terrorist organisations, and this part of north london, of course, extremely busy for a sporting fixture of this kind. so there's no doubt that we'll see a heightened level of security as the evening goes on. kick off here at 8 pm. and of course, charlie, not the first time, even recently, that football fixtures have been targeted by islamic state. >> october the 23rd, of course, in brussels, islamic state killed two swedish fans there.

so even these threats of they're just on the internet, they have to be taken with extreme seriousness . seriousness. >> takes the money, yes, but in the uk the terror threats at the moment is substantial and it's remained at that level for several years that it's in the middle and that has that is set independently of the police concerns. that takes in all sorts of information from the uk's security and intelligence agencies . now, that information agencies. now, that information no doubt fuelling part of the police response tonight, as you mentioned, martin, a significantly higher threat. it's generally considered on the continent where isis k the khorasan that is a spin off of the islamic state terror group, has been known to be considered a higher threat on the continent in the last year, in particular in the last year, in particular in russia, where we saw that attack last month, many men from tajikistan arrested and charged in association with that incident. but across the continent , there is no doubt

continent, there is no doubt going to be a heightened level of alert and indeed a security and police response to that isis augned and police response to that isis aligned media organisation putting out a graphic and accompanying some words there, threatening football fans and those intending to attend matches in paris, madrid and tonight here in london and charlie peters. >> for now, the show must go on. worth pointing out, as you say, 2000 extra national police agents and civil guard officers have been deployed in madrid. quarter of two games there, one tonight and one tomorrow, taking it very seriously on the continent . charlie peters, live continent. charlie peters, live from the emirates stadium. thank you joining us on the show. you for joining us on the show. and on that topic , you've been and on that topic, you've been having your say gbnews.com forward slash. your say is the way to get in touch with us a couple of points on this precise topic. glenn has said this martin, if isis were going to target these events, then why would they leak the details? this is about disruption, chaos

news, britain's news channel

welcome back. it's 519. i'm martin daubney, and this is gb news. now, later in the show, i'll tell you about the man who's suing more than 50 women for over £16 million. because he claims they've ruined his love life via a dating website. but before that, rachel reeves has defended her plan to generate billions of pounds for the uk economy by cracking down on tax dodgers. the shadow chancellor says a labour government will get tough on anyone who avoids paying their fair share for public services. but let's hear what she had to say. she's been speaking to our political editor, christopher hope , three times today, and hope, three times today, and thank you for having us here. >> you said in your statement there this a concerted there this is a concerted effort, concerted effort on

effort, a concerted effort on tax . what's wrong with tax avoidance. what's wrong with avoidance ? avoidance? >> well, i think that if you make britain your home and you work here, you should pay your fair share of tax here. and that's what these plans are about. >> do you have an isa? >> do you have an isa? >> yes . >> yes. >> yes. >> that's tax avoidance. >> that's tax avoidance. >> so what's wrong with that? >> so what's wrong with that? >> well there's nothing wrong with we're certainly not with us. and we're certainly not going cracking on with us. and we're certainly not going all cracking on with us. and we're certainly not going all people ling on with us. and we're certainly not going all people saving on with us. and we're certainly not going all people saving inton those all people saving into pensions. but what we've seen over last few years at hmrc over the last few years at hmrc is a 20% reduction of cases opened and investigated, looking at not, things like isas and pensions , but not paying the pensions, but not paying the right amount of tax . and right amount of tax. and similarly we've seen the investigations into offshore activity . the number of cases activity. the number of cases investigated there halved during the course of this parliament. and as a result, what we've seen is a tax gap now of £36 billion.

and the national audit office say that 6 billion of that should be recoverable. and that's what the plans are setting out today are all about. >> yes. >> yes. >> so you're evasion not avoidance. evasion is illegal. avoidance is legal. so we're clear on that because in your statement, you call them you call them who tax. call them who avoid tax. >> dodgers . >> tax dodgers. >> tax dodgers. >> if you say for an eyesore or a pension why are you a tax dodger? >> well, there's a number of things setting our things we're setting out in our plans for example, the plans today for example, at the moment, try and phone up moment, if you try and phone up hmrc, got query, hmrc, if you've got a tax query, you're lucky. someone >> very lucky. if someone answers the phone. and as a result there are simple errors being made when people are submitting their taxes . and submitting their taxes. and similarly, there's no requirement that a tax teams are registered with hmrc to establish whether they are legal or not. and so you'll have some people who are doing things that they think are okay, but they're not. a simple answer to a not. and a simple answer to a simple question could often mean the right amount of tax is paid. but at the moment that tax gap went £5 billion. the last

went up £5 billion. in the last year alone . i want that money to year alone. i want that money to be coming into hmrc to fund our frontline public services. >> so we'll come on to hmrc in a second. you mentioned that the gareth speech in january gareth davies speech in january to mps in parliament, head to mps in parliament, the head of audit office, he of the national audit office, he didn't mention anything about tax avoidance. didn't mention anything about tax avoida|say they'd point >> he did say they'd point universal credit where fraud and error cost taxpayers 5.5 billion a year. why are you not going after benefit cheats instead? >> well, i think that it is important that we crack down on fraud, avoidance, evasion , fraud, avoidance, evasion, wherever it is. you're not doing it today. >> you're doing tax , legally >> you're doing tax, legally paying >> you're doing tax, legally paying tax avoiders rather than benefit cheats . benefit cheats. >> well, the focus today is on cracking down on tax avoidance and ensuring the tax code is fully complied with, but also by closing the loopholes that the government have allowed to persist in terms of the treatment of non—doms . so, for treatment of non—doms. so, for example, in the first year of the implementation of their policy, there would be a 50% discount non—doms to bring

discount for non—doms to bring income into britain. well, no one else gets a 50% discount on their tax bill. and i don't see why non—doms should be treated differently . similarly, the differently. similarly, the government has said that if a non—dom their money in an non—dom puts their money in an offshore trust that they won't have to pay inheritance tax when the time comes on, that that's not either , because other not right either, because other people who live and work in britain pay inheritance britain have to pay inheritance tax, and non—doms shouldn't be treated in the first treated differently in the first year of the next parliament. that could bring in £1 billion just in the first year. those are changes to the tax system that we would bring in to ensure that we would bring in to ensure that people pay their fair share of and then that money goes of tax and then that money goes into believe are the into what i believe are the nation's priorities , reducing nation's priorities, reducing the the nhs, waiting the backlog in the nhs, waiting list. currently, more than 7 million people on nhs waiting lists, as well as 700,000 emergency dental appointments a year and breakfast clubs in all primary schools. that's what the money will be used for. >> so and is that money hypothecated so will or will the money into general money go into the general spending pot?

>> i've allocated that money for this specific purpose. now actually, we would to actually, we would be set to bnngin actually, we would be set to bring in £5 billion by the end of the next parliament through these policies, i've set out how we would use £2 billion of that to fund that investment in our nhs and in our schools. >> do you worry there might be a flight of capital before this to people are rich enough to be people who are rich enough to be non—doms will just leg it leave the well, that's the >> well, that's what the conservatives said our conservatives said about our policy so policy before they stole it. so so, you know, if they want to make those claims today , i think make those claims today, i think maybe we might want to take those with a pinch of salt. britain is a brilliant place to live work, and that's why live and work, and that's why so many want to come here to many people want to come here to live but if you choose live and work. but if you choose to to britain, should to come to britain, you should contribute to public services in the everyone else the same way that everyone else does, whether it's for does, whether it's paying for our our armed forces , our army and our armed forces, whether it's paying for the police on our streets, or, in this case, paying for our nhs and schools. you make and our schools. if you make britain home, you should britain your home, you should pay britain your home, you should pay here, and under pay your taxes here, and under labour you will. >> back on to >> i'm just going back on to gareth point, the speech >> i'm just going back on to gare referred point, the speech >> i'm just going back on to gare referred to. oint, the speech >> i'm just going back on to gare referred to. het, the speech >> i'm just going back on to gare referred to. he talkedpeech

>> i'm just going back on to gare referred to. he talked about you referred to. he talked about cracking down on fraud in the universal system. will universal credit system. will you be going after that as well at some point? >> i think it's really important that root fraud wherever that we root out fraud wherever it whether that is in it exists, whether that is in the benefit system, because i want money to go into people that really need it. i'm at the hospital here in manchester today, currently meeting some of the people in the in the frailty unit . there are a lot of people unit. there are a lot of people who struggle with mobility, who have disabilities, who are older and relying on the state pension, that money that goes into our benefits and pension system should be going to people that genuinely need that money, and there is no excuse for fraud or for tax avoidance, and we'll crack down on it . crack down on it. >> again, avoidance is legal and evasion is illegal. that's the point. i think i understand that, i understand that point, but important point bill is but the important point bill is saving pensions or isas. >> that's what i'm trying to make point. make the point. >> and that's a totally valid point. for example , if a point. but for example, if as a non—dom, your money in

non—dom, you put your money in an offshore trust that's also legal at the moment. yes. okay but you're avoiding tax by doing that. i think that is that. i don't think that is right. no. and that is why we would change those rules to ensure that non—doms do pay their tax in their fair share of tax in britain . that is tax avoidance britain. that is tax avoidance that i believe is wrong. and that's why would change the that's why we would change the rule there customer service. >> 841,000 laps calls in january alone. you're on the phone and you put the phone and give up, 53% of staff, they're working from home. >> january to march, according to official figures, what will you about customer service? you do about customer service? people want to pay their tax, and they. and don't know and they. and they don't know how it works. >> w- complicated. >> you demand example ? >> will you demand an example? >> will you demand an example? >> all hmrc staff are there tuesday, wednesday, as tuesday, wednesday, thursday as a minimum. a bare minimum. >> appointed today >> so i've appointed today a panel experts led by sir panel of experts led by sir edward troup, the former permanent secretary at hmrc, to advise the incoming labour government if we are successful at the next election on a number of things. first of all, how we can make real the plans that we

have today bring in have set out today to bring in that £5 billion that i know is there. second, to modernise there. but second, to modernise hmrc to ensure that the digital service works better so a fewer people have to phone up to get the support and advice. but then when you do phone up that the phone actually answered. it's phone is actually answered. it's not science. one of the not rocket science. one of the reasons why we lose out on so much tax is that simple questions are not answered because the phone is not answered. and that's why we've appointed this panel to make sure that there is better customer within hmrc and customer service within hmrc and that a staff are properly productive, but also that we bnngin productive, but also that we bring in the officials to hmrc so that those calls are answered again. >> how many days a week? tuesday monday, thursday for those in the office? >> well, my personal preference is to be in the office. were you always colleagues? yes. are sometimes seven a week, and sometimes seven days a week, and i find that i'm more productive, more efficient, able to talk to my colleagues . more efficient, able to talk to my colleagues. i'm able to learn and interact now, look different people have got different needs.

and to managers to work and it's up to managers to work with staff . but i think with their staff. but i think whether in public whether you work in the public or sector , productivity or private sector, productivity is likely to be higher most is likely to be higher in most cases. we're in the office cases. if we're in the office with colleagues doing more alleged avoidance, i could alleged tax avoidance, i could ask angela rayner. alleged tax avoidance, i could ask has angela rayner. alleged tax avoidance, i could ask has she angela rayner. alleged tax avoidance, i could ask has she avoided a rayner. alleged tax avoidance, i could ask has she avoided capitaler. alleged tax avoidance, i could ask has she avoided capital gains >> has she avoided capital gains tax on the sale of that house? if not, or if or do you not know have you seen report? she's resourceful. >> i have every confidence that angela rayner has paid the correct of tax . now these correct amount of tax. now these are allegations going back to 2015 when she was married to her ex—husband , when she lived in a ex—husband, when she lived in a property she no longer owns. and before she was a member of parliament, she has since parliament, but she has since sought and legal and tax advice. she is confident that she paid the right amount of tax. and i have the utmost faith and trust in my friend and colleague, angela rayner. have you asked the report she's commissioned? no, asked to no, because i haven't asked to see tax returns or the tax see the tax returns or the tax advice of any my colleagues. advice of any of my colleagues. and angela rayner shouldn't be treated from other and angela rayner shouldn't be treat and from other and angela rayner shouldn't be treat and other from other and angela rayner shouldn't be treat and other colleaguesher and angela rayner shouldn't be treat and other colleagues .er and angela rayner shouldn't be treat and other colleagues . only mps and other colleagues. only at the moment the prime minister and leader opposition

and the leader of the opposition published their tax returns. if the to change, the system is going to change, it change for everyone, it should change for everyone, not just angela. yours, if not just for angela. yours, if thatis not just for angela. yours, if that is the system that people want, i would be happy to pubush want, i would be happy to publish my tax return. but that is not we currently is not a system we currently have in the uk, and i don't think this should be done, picking off one person at a time. and i don't think is time. and i don't think it is right that angela is held right that angela rayner is held to standards than to a higher standards than anyone else. >> you're raising 5 billion, you know, which is great, i suppose, in terms of putting the economy back its where it back on, back onto its where it needs to be. >> but you worry that the >> but do you worry that the scale of our dwarfed by scale of our debt is dwarfed by its 47 billion a year on interest payments? >> i mean, just nothing. >> i mean, this is just nothing. it's like a barely a it's like a it's a barely a rounding error in your world, isn't rounding error in your world, isn'well, certainly a >> well, it's certainly not a rounding 2 million rounding error. it's 2 million additional a year additional appointments a year in 700,000. and the in the nhs, 700,000. and the grand spending i mean, grand scale of spending i mean, i don't accept that. it's a drop in ocean . the difference in the ocean. the difference that this can make is immense. but would accept this, chris. but i would accept this, chris. the economic inheritance that the government will face, the next government will face, whether it is me as chancellor

or somebody else, is the worst economic inheritance since the second the first second world war. the first parliament on record where living actually living standards have actually fallen, the highest tax burden in 70 years, and debt as a share of our economy close to 100. that's not the inheritance i would want as chancellor , but it would want as chancellor, but it is the inheritance. if labour win the next election that i will have, that means difficult choices. it's why i have been so clear that everything that i put forward be fully costed and forward will be fully costed and fully funded. that goes for me, a chancellor, and it will a shadow chancellor, and it will be my approach as chancellor of the as well. the exchequer as well. >> reeves, thank >> well, rachel reeves, thank you today gb you for joining us today on gb news manchester. you for joining us today on gb ne\thankianchester. you for joining us today on gb ne\thank you. tester. you for joining us today on gb ne\thank you. thank you. >> thank you. thank you. >> thank you. thank you. >> a fantastic sparring >> well, a fantastic sparring match christopher match there between christopher hoh, political editor at gb news, and shadow chancellor rachel that get rachel reeves would that get your us know. your votes? let us know. gbnews.com slash your gbnews.com forward slash your essay now. there's lots more still come between now and still to come between now and 6:00. but first it's your latest news headlines polly news headlines and it's polly middlehurst .

i >> welcome back. it's 539. i'm martin daubney. and this is gb news. now. have you ever dreamt of moving to spain? i have, well, if so, i've got some bad for news you. because the country's government is currently planning to end a scheme which gives residency to foreigners who buy property in the country. now, this got me thinking . should we have thinking. should we have a similar policy in this country ? similar policy in this country? is it time for british homes, for british people ? well, i'm for british people? well, i'm joined now by property expert juue joined now by property expert julie ford. julie welcome to the show. always a pleasure. so the spanish premier pedro sanchez, has clamped down on foreign ownership of the big ticket properties, at least those over the half a million mark, because 94 out of 100 of those visas are from developers abroad ,

from developers abroad, hoovering up the properties which prices the locals out of the market. we see the same in this country. should we follow his lead ? his lead? >> well, to be perfectly honest with you, martin, we already have. so we had a similar scheme that started in 2008 and that was called the tier one investor route. but it was abruptly shut in february 2022 because similar reasons. it just wasn't showing the opportunities cities for the uk that it was predicted to . and uk that it was predicted to. and the criteria was slightly different to what spain had for their golden ticket, we had to have investors of at least £2 million coming into the uk. however what we saw was they were snapping up assets which were snapping up assets which were then just left sitting empty, rather than actually being put back use for being put back into use for society . society. >> yeah, but when you're looking at the 2 million plus market, you're obviously going for those who minted . and this is much who are minted. and this is much more in the realms of affordability. it's about £430,000. let's face it, in london, that would barely get

you a one bedroom flat. so should we look to move in this lower down the ladder? there are many young people i meet all the time given up any time who have just given up any hope ever getting on the hope of ever getting on the property ladder, and that is an issue supply and demand. so issue of supply and demand. so if stop people from if we stop rich people from abroad buying those properties up, could the idea work , again, up, could the idea work, again, it's going to take a lot of things to make that happen. yes, absolutely. if you stop foreign nationals buying up properties that will make more properties available for first time buyers or those that want to downsize, for example. but there's a knock on effect to that as well. the finance industry doesn't make it easy for you to get on the property ladder either. getting a mortgage is getting more and more difficult. the average age of a first time buyer is now 46 years old, and you need a good, you know, nearly 100,000 in some places, just as a deposit on a property. so it's harder and harder to get on the property ladden harder to get on the property ladder. and i think foreign investors are one of the things

that we need to tackle. but there's lots of things out there that have a knock on effect to stop getting the stop people getting the properties deserve. properties they deserve. >> it's worth >> and julie, it's worth pointing pedro sanchez, pointing out that pedro sanchez, he's a socialist prime minister. so he likes the idea of governmental involvement in market rates. is that something that the uk should shy away from in? jeremy corbyn wanted this before? is that the route we should be going as a free market nafion should be going as a free market nation ? nafion? >> that's a really difficult question to answer. where we are right now, because the government doesn't seem to be able to make any decisions on housing. we see the renters reform bill moving through parliament at a glacial pace since 2019, and we're seeing all these sticking plaster ideas to these sticking plaster ideas to the housing crisis, which really aren't the root of the problem, taking a socialist, aren't the root of the problem, taking a socialist , opportunity taking a socialist, opportunity from the government. i can't see it doing any worse than what they're doing right now, to be honest. but something needs to happen because the housing crisis isn't getting any easier.

>> judy falls. superb. thanks for joining me on gb news. great forjoining me on gb news. great stuff. and let's talk now about the impact of spain's new plan on brits and the housing market in country. i'm joined now in that country. i'm joined now by expert property and in that country. i'm joined now by ceo expert property and in that country. i'm joined now by ceo of expert property and in that country. i'm joined now by ceo of cloudt property and in that country. i'm joined now by ceo of cloud nine )erty and the ceo of cloud nine properties, sean woolley, who's in marbella, sean , welcome to in marbella, sean, welcome to the show. so is this going to have brits pulling out their hair? possibly, i think what we have to remember is that the figures aren't that impressive when it comes to the numbers , when it comes to the numbers, the numbers of golden visas that have actually been obtained. >> so our figures are slightly delayed. we only back as delayed. we can only go back as far as the end of 2021. and since 2013 to 2021, in terms of the amount of golden visas issued to brits, it was only 177. that's not a lot. you would expect it to be much more than that. one thing that we've been quite flabbergasted by is , is quite flabbergasted by is, is how how few people actually, since been taking since brexit, have been taking advantage of the of the golden visa scheme. so i think it's a

headune visa scheme. so i think it's a headline grabbing initiative from, as you say, from a socialist coalition government who are under severe pressure from the far left, factions within that coalition to distribute wealth rather than create wealth. so it's i see it as a headline grabbing measure to tackle an issue that isn't really there . sure, there are really there. sure, there are other pressures on the spanish property market, again, from outsiders and from foreigners, but the golden visa ticket really wasn't that used. it wasn't that controversial, and nobody really talked about it too much , i think there was an too much, i think there was an initial fear that maybe chinese russian investment was was kind of taking over. that's never really been the case, although they were the first sort of early adopters. but since then, the couple of years, for the last couple of years, for us, the americans, the us, it's been the americans, the canadians brits , they're canadians and the brits, they're the who've been using it. canadians and the brits, they're the as who've been using it. canadians and the brits, they're the as i who've been using it. canadians and the brits, they're the as i say,»'ve been using it. canadians and the brits, they're the as i say, toe been using it. canadians and the brits, they're the as i say, to noten using it. canadians and the brits, they're the as i say, to not the sing it. canadians and the brits, they're the as i say, to not the extent but as i say, to not the extent that you would imagine. >> and, sean, do think it's >> and, sean, do you think it's fair to say that the fair to say that during the difficult times, course, the difficult times, of course, the

economic when spain was on economic crash when spain was on its haunches, welcoming its haunches, it was welcoming foreign investment. it was rolling out the carpet for rolling out the red carpet for brits to come in, and now they want they have a change of government. they're trying to penalise foreign buyers. does that out spooks? does it that send out spooks? does it spook the market? is it bad for property and the movement of it? >> yeah, i think anything like this is bad. it's something that we now have to explain to our clients. what i do think we will see until this ratified is see until this is ratified is we'll see glut of interest we'll see a glut of interest from americans , those, from brits, americans, those, you know, beyond the eu confines who be looking to secure who will be looking to secure this golden visa, because we're looking you know, in the looking at, you know, in the spanish system, it's probably looking at, you know, in the spanirto system, it's probably looking at, you know, in the spanirto be tem, it's probably looking at, you know, in the spanirto be 611, it's probably looking at, you know, in the spanirto be 6 to it's probably looking at, you know, in the spanirto be 6 to it'smonthsly going to be 6 to 12 months before gets gets ratified before this gets gets ratified and law. so there's and passed into law. so there's still it. but it's still time to do it. but it's just such a shame because there are other things that could have been tackled that are being tackled. the influx tackled. things like the influx of holiday rentals in city centres, know is an centres, which i know is an issue uk as well. but issue in the uk as well. but this this golden visa this one, this golden visa thing, never an issue. thing, it was never an issue. it's just the headline that's that's making great publicity .

that's making great publicity. >> and sean, for brits who might have few bob who are looking have a few bob who are looking to in and the to invest in spain and the spanish market, is this spanish property market, is this going to the wobble out or going to send the wobble out or is still sound investment? is it still a sound investment? >> i think it's going to send the out initially, like the wobble out initially, like most things my most of these things do. but my advice would get in there, advice would be to get in there, get quickly so you get it done quickly so that you have visa, you haven't have that that visa, you haven't got about it in the got to worry about it in the future there still future, and there are still other you you can other ways that you can you can get access this beautiful get access to this beautiful place. the golden place. it's not just the golden visa that it was visa that was the that it was all about. >> shaun woodward, thank you for joining cloud9 joining us, ceo of cloud9 properties in marbella. tell you what, if nothing else, what, sean, if nothing else, i've definite weather envy. i've got definite weather envy. you must be loving out there. it hasn't raining weeks hasn't stopped raining for weeks here. sean woolley here. all the best sean woolley live marbella . thank you. live from marbella. thank you. now if you think you're unlucky in then how about in love, well then how about this because this fella this bloke? because this fella is more than 50 women for is suing more than 50 women for over £16 million. because they said he was a bad date. what a loser. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel

welcome back. it's 550. it's the final furlong . i'm martin final furlong. i'm martin daubney. this is gb news. now, here's a story that really made me smile. when i saw it bright and early this morning. because and early this morning. because a man in the united states is suing more than 50 women for over £16 million because they said he was a bad date. stuart lucas murray was repeatedly criticised on an online group called are we dating the same guy? and he claims that the women's comments have ruined his love life . well, i'm joined now love life. well, i'm joined now by the dating coach nadia essex . by the dating coach nadia essex. nadia, welcome to the show. i think i find this story equally hilarious and captivating . he hilarious and captivating. he was being carpeted in a women's only forum, he said, that excluded his voice . now he's

excluded his voice. now he's suing them. has he got a case or is he just a complete sour grapes loser? >> well, not only does he sound like a sour grapes loser, he also sounds like more money than sense because it's not cheap to sue. >> i don't know in america, but i'm assuming in england. if you want to sue someone, it's not cheap. if you want to sue 50 people, can't imagine it's cheap. if you want to sue 50 peopl
