Foreign This is Sky News at 10 our top Story asylum Seekers are removed from the bivvy Stockholm after four days due to traces of Legionella bacteria found in the water system the evacuation is a setback for the government’s immigration policy is a record 750 people are detected crossing the channel in small boats yesterday
Also tonight an inquiry is launched into the treatment of women in the custody of Greater Manchester police after an investigation by Sky News the stories of survival residents of the Town worst hit by the Hawaii wildfires allowed to return briefly tonight but still 1 000 people are missing and at
Least 55 dead we’re going in and out of Consciousness ourselves in the water and we’re both hallucinating but I just remember holding her hand and telling each other every few minutes like Edna are you awake wake up Junior doctors strike for a fifth time the action is expected to delay one million procedures and appointments knee ahead of the lionesses World Cup quarterfinalclash that can the team overcome the latest hurdles plus we’ll take a first look at tomorrow’s front pages that’s in the Press preview from 10 30. All right good evening thanks for joining us the Asylum Seekers who boarded the biddy Stockholm barge in Dorset just a few days ago have been removed Sky News understands that earlier this week the Legionella bacteria was found in the vessels water supply the home office says nobody has
Fallen ill but the 39 people who have been living on board the barge have now been relocated as a precaution the barge was a big part of the government’s plans to tackle immigration with record numbers still crossing the channel on small boats we’ll have more on that in a
Moment our correspondent Dan Whitehead has tonight’s first report from Portland they’ve only spent four nights on board but now the 39 Asylum Seekers moved on to the Bibby Stockholm on Monday who back on dry land they left by coach on Friday night heading back to hotels the water on board the barge contaminated
With Legionella bacteria that can lead to Legionnaires Disease an outbreak that was first revealed by Sky News we understand that on the 25th of July Legionella tests were carried out on the Bibi Stockholm then on Monday the 7th of August the day the first Asylum Seekers boarded the results of the tests were
Received by those contracted to run the barge but it wasn’t until two days later that the home office were made aware of the results on Thursday night following formal advice from the UK Health Security Agency the home office said it would remove all those on board as a precaution
As the news unfolded campaigners were back at the gates of Portland Port those in contact with individuals on board say their concerned think it’s going to be really unsettling for them and very difficult one of the Asylum Seekers phoned me up and said he was really worried because he had just Shrunk the
Water and asked if he could give me his family’s details because in case anything happened to him 500 people on a small island of 13 and a half plus a tourist area next door yes of course we’re concerned and we’re also concerned about the welfare of the people on the
Barge but much more so than the people on our Island Health experts warn the nature of Legionella means it can be difficult to identify how and where it is caught this is about infected and in infected water droplets being inhaled and that’s actually why people sometimes don’t even
Know or can’t recall where the interaction might have been even on Tuesday the day after the initial test results and first arrivals we saw work being carried out on the Bibby the home office says that the removal of the migrants is only temporary but the timing could not be worse the fact that
We were here on Monday after months of delays for the first arrivals and now we end the week with the barge empathy will come as a huge frustration to the government in a statement the home office said no individuals on board have presented with symptoms of legionnaires and Asylum
Seekers are being provided with appropriate advice and support the samples taken relate only to the water system on the vessel itself and therefore carry no direct risk indication for The Wider community of Portland nor do they relate to fresh water entering the vessel further tests are now being carried out
The question now is whether the Bibi can be made safe and how long that will take down Whited Sky News in Portland Dorset well it was confirmed today that more than one hundred thousand people have now been detected crossing the English Channel since January 2018. 755 people were seen making the dangerous Journey
Yesterday the highest number recorded this year so far this year 15 826 people have arrived in the UK after crossing the channel well let’s go now to our political correspondent Nick Martin who is outside the home office Nick this is a big setback isn’t it for the government’s plans to tackle immigration
Yes because if you remember this week really was all about sort of stopping the boats the government’s stamping its Authority on its kind of floundering immigration plan and the beginning of the week which saw the doors opened to that barge and the first people going on
Was meant to be a sign that things were moving away from those expensive hotels remember the government says we’re spending six million pounds a day housing Asylum Seekers that’s why the barge was brought in and here we are at the end of the week and that plan is in
Tatters I think it’s fair to say that this is a temporary setback experts say it’ll take a couple of days to flush that system and get that barge back up and running but what’s absolutely intriguing are the timings who knew about the test results and when and how
On Earth were people allowed to go onto that barge when somebody somewhere knew that there was Legionella in the system the whole immigration plan the government is in tatters remember the Rwanda plan is is bogged down in the Supreme Court it’s trying to stop the boats but you’ve just said that those
Numbers are still very high and here we have it this barge the sort of big answer to cutting down those costs is now sitting empty tonight it is looking as the days go on and the weeks go on that the government is struggling to justify this kind of immigration policy
But it has no choice labor on the other hand are calling this a disaster but if you ask them whether they would have barges they admit that it is a potential solution so at the end of this week it’s going to be very difficult to look and
See where the government goes from this but the barge will be up back up and running no doubt it’s saving the government so much money it has no choice Nick in Westminster thank you an independent inquiry into the experience of women and girls in police custody in Greater Manchester has been
Commissioned following a Sky News investigation the inquiry will have a particular focus on the use of strip searches and removal and replacement of clothing after a woman told us she was drugged and sexually assaulted while in custody Sky’s home editor Jason Farrell has the story three women unconnected but for their
Experience in a police station in Manchester all say they were stripped naked without justification one claimed she was raped in a police cell there were demonstrations in Manchester and London after Sky News aired its investigation two weeks ago now there will be an independent inquiry into strip searches and the treatment of
Women in Greater Manchester police custody we caught up with Maria not her real name one of the women we featured it’s demonstrated to the public what is actually happening in police stations and not just that police station but other police stations as well across the country
We filmed Maria going to meet the head of the new inquiry Dame virabad on Wednesday and spoke to her after the meeting I went in and danverer obviously explained what she’s been commissioned to do by Andy Burnham Vera says they should have given me a reason why I was
Being strip searched and they didn’t they didn’t tell me why another woman we called Kirsty still hasn’t seen any of the footage of her strip search after months of asking for it she also went to meet the inquiry chair she’s the only chance we’ve got inches
So we’ve got no choice so I’ll give her a chance but it depends whether she does what she says because half of them don’t do what they say a third woman Zayna Iman used what’s called a subject access request to obtain this footage of her being stripped whilst unconscious she believes
She was raped during her time in custody zaina was given most of the cell footage but two hours were missing since our first report greater Manchester police has tweeted that those two hours were corrupted but they’re trying to recover them zainer doesn’t yet have faith in the inquiry whilst I welcome a public
Inquiry I’ve been dealing with the police complaints procedure for over 30 months and I’ve been let down and I feel like I’m still being let down over 30 months later sex offenders are still serving in Greater Manchester police and public inquiries take time the terms of the inquiry include not
Just strip searches but also how women are treated in custody generally and how their complaints are treated the report from Sky the other day has raised questions about the treatment of women by greater Manchester police when they report crime when they’re arrested when they’re in custody if they are
Subject to strip search which um obviously the mayor and I are concerned May reflect wider issues systemic issues the GMP say they have and will continue to positively engage with Dame Vera bad’s independent review as the investigation into the complaints is now being led by the iopc we’re not
In a position to provide any further comment at this time what I would like to see this review do now is then expand to look at the effective police complaints procedures to look at the ineffectiveness of the iopc in a previous statement GMP told us there’s no evidence to suggest any
Employees have misconducted themselves or committed a criminal offense Jason Farrell Sky News 55 people dead 1 000 unaccounted for this week the Hawaiian island of Maui has seen unprecedented wildfires that have flattened homes and businesses tonight’s residents in the town of lehenya will be allowed to return home
Briefly but the pictures suggest they could be returning to Ash covered ruins with satellite images showing Devastation for Miles a U.S correspondent Martha Kellner reports from Maui in Hawaii rounding the corner past a stretch of luxury hotels the devastation reveals itself into the town of Lahaina and the
Epicenter of the worst Wildfire to hit the United States in years Street after Street home after home here reduced to Rubble this is where 55 people lost their lives the search for the missing goes on you can see in the distance some of the wreckage after these wildfires happen the smell
Of the smoke and it’s heavy in the air this here is the harbor area of Lahaina and this is where many people came to try and Escape [Applause] they were left with a choice stay on land and burn or jump into the ocean most chose the latter
People clung to each other in the waves Embers flying overhead annalize was in the water for six hours with her neighbor Edna burns from the Flames cover her face when we were going in and out of Consciousness ourselves in the water and we were both hallucinating
But I just remember holding her hand and telling each other every few minutes like Edna are you awake wake up and um and holding each other for warmth and then we would every once in a while we would get out of the water and we would
Go back up towards the fire just to warm our bodies what was there not enough warning there was no warning thousands of people have been evacuated from Western Maui many here to the local gymnasium Adam was also in Lahaina when the fires hit these videos taken from his apartment balcony
It sounded like a war zone because the pro paintings were going off a lot of it was started in industrial zone so he had oxygen tanks you had it sounded like fireworks a little bit he escaped by fleeing to the mountains above Lahaina but his home and town is gone
It’s not just the the loss of people here then it’s also the loss of place um it’s it’s even more than that’s the loss of your heart like I don’t even know what to do next so after 15 years of building a life here where do I start over even
And you know wherever I start over it’s not going to be Lina Kia people waiting to donate food and drink to the shelters but the road to recovery will be a long one Martha Kellner Sky News Maui well the fires have caused Devastation right across Hawaii in particular on the
Island of Maui where images show the before and after scenes on the ground Sky’s International correspondent Alex Rossi has been analyzing the pictures and looking at why the wildfires have spread just so quickly they’ve been described by officials as the worst natural disaster in the state’s history fueled by a dry summer
And strong winds from a passing hurricane the fire started on Tuesday several thousand residents raced to escape homes on Maui as a blaze swept across the islands the location worst hit by the fast spreading wildfires has been the town of Lahaina now to give you
An idea of how much has been lost with some satellite images of the town from September last year as you can see there are plenty of homes and businesses running along the coast and a picture has taken just on Wednesday the Flames have destroyed many of the buildings Lahaina is historically important dating
Back to the 1700s and was once the capital of Hawaii thousands have been made homeless and as many as a thousand buildings destroyed but these fires haven’t come from nowhere according to U.S government data 16 of Maori county is currently in a state of severe drought and last year
The majority of the island was in severe drought for eight months and researchers at the University of Hawaii have been looking at how many acres of land have been burnt throughout the last century they say on average 5 000 Acres were burnt each year between 1904 and the 1980s since then the fires
Have increased roughly fourfold in 2016 more than 20 000 Acres were burnt in 2018 more than thirty thousand and in 2021 more than forty thousand we don’t know yet the exact cause of these wildfires but with Hurricane Dora moving away the winds Fanning the Flames will
Drop and it means the worst of the danger has hopefully now passed but major rescue operations and investigations will continue for some time electricity out with that report an NHS patient who was told he had terminal kidney cancer has told Sky News his surgery was delayed four times because
Of Staff shortages and strike action Junior doctors walked out for a fifth time today of a pay in working conditions NHS providers said the industrial action has cost about a billion pounds and that by the time this four day walkout ends a million procedures and appointments will have
Been canceled well the British Medical Association is currently calling for 35 increase in pay to make up for real term wage losses since 2008 but the government says the six percent pay rise with a one-off payment of 1 250 pounds is a fair and final offer Sky’s Health correspondent Ashish Joshi reports
People will die because of delays Andy says he’s been to Hell and back a year ago he was told his kidney cancer was terminal but a later consultation gave him a second chance mentally it kills you absolutely does your braining four times he feared the opportunity was lost as
His cryotherapy surgery was organized and then canceled due to staff shortages or strike action he came out and his shook his head I’m sorry mate said we can’t do it of course it’s so hard to describe it’s shattering it just wears well and place tricks for your mind the worry
Andy’s stress is the same one felt by thousands of patients whose appointments have been canceled as Junior doctors continue striking for better pay today they brought their demands to the prime minister’s door to Robert gittins has had enough he told me he’s quitting the NHS for a
New life abroad I’m looking to quit the NHS probably next year to move to Australia there I’ve been hearing from my other colleagues how much better pay there is and how much better the working conditions are the strikes impact everyone and the pressure is felt across the NHS patients have to be
Psychologically ready for that theater also they get work sorted they’re family sorted so we do our utmost to make sure that patient does not get canceled on day of surgery fun despite these pressures the two sides are nowhere near resolution the government says it’s payoffer is final we’ve accepted in full the
Recommendations of the independent pay review body process but it’s also right that we balance that with our wider commitment to bring inflation down because that matters to NHS staff just as it does to the community as a whole Andy has finally had his surgery at the fifth attempt only to face another
Agonizing wait to find out that his treatment was successful but he worries that if his cancer returns he simply can’t endure the anguish of the last few months Ashish Joshi Sky News there was a little bit of good news today when it was revealed that the UK economy grew slightly in the three
Months to June GDP increased by 0.2 percent in the second quarter of the Year while it Rose 0.5 percent in June alone our business correspondent Capri Noah reports the latest receipt for the for the economy and it looks like the orders are still coming in the cost of living crisis is still
Raging but consumers and businesses are showing unexpected levels of resilience money is still being made in pubs and bars people are being more Savvy about how they spend people are still coming out and and staying as long as as they have been but perhaps they’re not going
To as many venues so people are cutting back maybe on on eating out but deciding they want to go and have an experience like this High inflation and interest rates are weighing heavily on the economy but things aren’t bad in places like this far in central London city
Workers are still finding money to spend some have secured chunky pay Rises and lockdown savings are still supporting spending but there are doubts about how long it could all last the UK economy beat expectations with growth of 0.2 percent in the three months to June it managed 0.5 percent in
June alone all major sectors expanded manufacturing led the way with growth of 1.6 in the three months to June the dominant Services sector grew by 0.1 percent while the construction sector expanded by 0.3 percent all of this at a time when the bank of England is increasing interest rates squeezing the
Economy to tackle inflation it’s raised hopes that the country May avoid a recession in the process when I started an office nine and a half months ago recession was predicted but of course uh it you know I would like that figure to be higher you know we’ve
Got a lot of work to do but we’re also in the context of the inflationary pressures we see in the economy at the moment you know it’s obviously a delicate Balancing Act cleared just yet twin challenges of high inflation and interest rates are still working their way through
At this plastics factory in Rutland a major employer in the area the order book is starting to fill the strain what we are finding is that obviously construction is severely affected because of because of interest rates and actually uh construction affects a lot more than just bricks and mortar uh
There are a lot of other components that go into construction so that is affecting Manufacturing in the UK at the moment so we haven’t dropped into recession just yet but the problems are lining up and the Outlook is uncertain garbage no one Sky News sorry please say three people wanted

The 23rd of August with the aim of collecting Rock samples and dust to better understand the environment as a potential base a mountaineer has told Sky News her team did not step over a dying man while climbing K2 one of the tallest Peaks on the planet the expedition was part of a
Record attempt with Christine harilla becoming the fastest climber to scale the world’s 14 highest mountains in 92 days Sky’s Sherman Freeman power reports a moment of life and death captured in real time near the top of the K2 the group of climbers in this video can
Be seen just 1300 feet away from the top of the world’s second highest mountain but rather than celebration some face criticism after a porter collapsed on the route Mohammed Hassan a father of three had slipped from a narrow ledge at around 8 200 meters but a video shows part of a group
Climbing over him pushing on to reach the summit are very happy to be here recall breaking Mountaineer Kirsten harilla was among the climbers determined to set a new record filming this video before she says she knew her son was dead harula though believed she and her team did everything they could
We tried to rescue him for many hours and it’s a very very challenging and dangerous mountain and we were probably on the most dangerous place and it was an accident and we tried what we could but footage of the fatality captured by Mountaineer Philip Fleming tells a different tale
And so does he it’s really terrifying they had to literally step over this body when he was lying there on this little ledge which is like this all these people needed to pass him he was still alive in the next picture I saw okay they are up
There was just one person robbing him uh I said why why didn’t they brought him down so the climbers have now met with her son’s family who are coming to terms with their loss but for those who were there with him at the end of his life
Questions over whether they did or they could to save him Shimon Freeman Powell Sky News England are playing Colombia in the World Cup quarter final and the pressure is on after losing top scorer Lauren James to a two-match band Sweden’s win against Japan means that this year’s
Champions will be a first time winner but who could it be England goalkeeper Mary Epps insists The Best Is Yet To Come From the lionesses our Sports correspondent Rob Harris joins us now from Sydney Rob England are now clear favorites to win the Women’s World Cup for the first time
They’ve seen so many contenders go home early including the Champions the United States and now the Netherlands and they’ll be waking up here in Sydney this Saturday morning though knowing their World Cup Journey could be over unless they beat Colombia here tonight but fans have only seen glimpses of what they’re
Capable of Mary Earp’s insists and they’ve got so much more to give but they have been underwhelming in three of their four games so far and they’ve relied so much on their goalkeeper to make this run to the quarterfinals smart stops rapid reflexes and acrobatic agility without Mary Epps would England be here
In a World Cup quarter-final with three clean sheets in four games and Monday’s penalty shootout success against Nigeria the goalkeeper is a lioness being lauded I try and block out as much of the noise as possible um but I very much hope that their praising goalkeepers because I think the
Performances have been fantastic and deserve a lot of credit um but yeah still many games to go and hopefully those performances can continue throughout the tournament but you still can’t buy one of these more than 37 000 people have signed a petition urging Knight to start selling the replica shirt
I know that it’s being looked into by the relevant parties at various levels and it’ll be a conversation that we pick up post tournament but I just want to thank everyone for their support on that support that will only grow if england can beat Colombia at Stadium Australia
And reach a third consecutive Women’s World Cup semi-final it was so stressful for Serena viegman against Nigeria she’s hoping it will be smoother for England here against Colombia but she’s going to have to find a tactical plan that produces goals without top scorer Lauren James this stamp saw James ban for two matches
By FIFA so she would only be available again if england reached the final Colombia have never made it to the quarterfinals before but they’ve already helped to knock out two-time Champions Germany I hope we don’t have that much stress we we know we’ve seen this tournament that not one game is
Game is for anyone so competitive This World Cup keeps throwing up the unexpected Spain a semi-finalist for the first time after a 2-1 victory over the Netherlands Runners up four years ago next up for Spain Sweden their fans Delirious at getting past 2011 Champions Japan 2-1 having already toppled the holders America

Look at tomorrow’s papers in the Press preview of course among the stories we’ll be discussing this on the front of Saturday’s mirror on the evacuation of the Bibi Stockholm at their headline deadly bug on Barge and tonight I’ll be joined by The Daily Mirror columnist Susie Boniface and the Blissful
Commentator Benedict Spence we’ll be back in a moment do join us Foreign Foreign Thank you foreign Thank you Thank you Foreign Hello again you’re watching Sky News we’ve got the Press preview for you in a moment checking out Saturday’s front pages but first hour top stories this evening Asylum Seekers have been removed from the Bibi Stockholm barge in Dorset after Legionella bacteria was found in the water supply an independent inquiry into the
Experience of women and girls in police custody in Greater Manchester has been commissioned following a Sky News investigation and at least 55 people are now known to have died and 1 000 people remain missing off the wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui So as always at this time it’s the Press preview first look at what is on tomorrow’s front pages and we’re going to check out those headlines tonight with the Daily Mirror columnist Susie Boniface and a particular commentator Benedict Spence they’ll be with us from now until just before midnight evening
To both of you we’ll chat to you in a moment after we’ve had a look at some of those up front pages well let’s start with the telegraph leading with the Legionella scare on the Bibi Stockholm and warns that the vessel may be uninhabitable for weeks
Deadly bug on Barge is the headline on the front of the mirror and it’s the same story on the front of the Guardian reporting that Home Secretary swella brathaman is under pressure to abandon the barge accommodation plan altogether a doctor’s Union has been accused of trying to bring down the government for
Masterminding roller skate uh sorry for masterminding Rolling strikes not rolling skates but story on the front of the Daily Express you can see it there the eye newspaper reveals a major security breach at the UK foreign office that allowed Chinese and Russian hackers to access emails and private messages
The Daily Mail reports on pressure on the health secretary to scrap NHS guidance that allows patients who temporarily identify as female to share female only wards here’s your ft for tomorrow leading with a push by Saudi Arabia to join the UK Italy and Japan in a Next Generation fighter jet project

And that okay you can scan the QR code anytime during the program you’ll see on screen check out the front pages of tomorrow’s papers while you watch us discussing them to to do that tonight Suzy Boniface and Benedict Spence are both here okay good evening to both of
You uh this Friday night so um one story dominating uh the front pages really Susie and that is the latest twist in the story about the Bibby Stockholm The Daily Telegraph reporting that migrants have been taken off the bards they’re all off now because of a Legionella scare
Yeah um I I should just say that I think there’ll be other stories on the front page if Junior doctors were roller skating um and that would probably one of the the scenes that got cut from the Barbie movie Junior doctors joining Kevin what a Pity uh Silly Season it didn’t go
That far um but no as far as legionna is concerned so what happened back to the actual front pages um what’s happened is that quite plainly um the the conservative party the government had planned into their media grid for this week small boats and we’re going to look tough and hard and mean
It’s all going to be great and we’re going to say we’re we’re doing one of rishi’s unak’s five pledges in fact the only one that anyone could remember what it is and they managed to it up from beginning to end so actually what happened is two weeks ago they tested
The pipes on the the Stockholm for leadership dose disease which is one of those things that you have to do it takes two weeks takes 14 days for those tests to come through 14 days on the button on Monday the contractors were told there does seem to be Legionnaires
Disease on the boat you can’t use it it then turns out it was Wednesday until the council in Portland told the home office but then it was Thursday they moved another six migrants on board because the message doesn’t seem to have got through and Thursday evening before
Ministers were told and then it’s not Friday until they’ve actually been taken off now what we don’t know is at what point the migrants who were on there were told guys don’t drink the water because they should have clearly been told on Monday not to do that
Um why it took so long to get to the ministers and also why on Earth they put migrants on this barge when the checks hadn’t been completed because I’ll bet you my house the reason that they went on there on Monday was because it was a small boats week and they wanted after
Lots of delays to this barge policy they wanted to say they were getting it done and they just cut corners and said stuff it get them on the tests will be fine and look where we ended up and now it’s another two three four weeks to flush
The pipes clean it all out again and do more tests to make sure that it’s clear meanwhile where are the migrants back in hotels uh yes and of course another uh huge day of Crossings yesterday more than 700 people making the most of uh calm season better weather Benedict front of the
Mirror I mean they’re calling it migrant chaos deadly bug on barges their headline I mean it does all sound rather incompetent doesn’t it I think well I mean what else do we come to expect from government at any level these days in this country other than people cutting Corners people not
Calling each other on the days that they’re meant to and tell them oh by the way there could be an outbreak of a deadly bacteria but but who’s to say so it’s only 40 odd people um I think the first thing I do want to
Say is that from none of the front pages of any of the papers have we been able to glean uh What uh concentration of Legionella is uh in on the BB Stockman barge so we don’t actually know if they have been moved as a minor precaution
Because it’s as just a trace amount or if it is over 10 cfu per milliliters in which case people have been drinking the water and they might well be hospitalized and of course part of the problem is it takes another two weeks for the symptoms to potentially emerge
So there’s going to be I think a lot of question marks for the next sort of fortnight as to whether or not it’s a big outbreak or whether or not it’s a it’s a not great but just a reasonably safe Tracer outbreak but I think Susie
Is actually right and it’s it’s come as as you say at the start of the three-month period where in 2022 51 of the migrants who came to the UK across the channel came in this three-month period and of course the government wants to be seen to be getting tough on
This it has to you know the prime minister’s gone on holiday it needs to be seen to actually have a handle on things um and what we had was I think almost if not quite the record number for a single day earlier this week Crossing combined
Today with people having to be taken off the barge given that we only had a handful go on to the barge in the first place and it all comes back to the fact that earlier this week we crossed the hundred thousand threshold since this started in 2018 that’s a long time that
The government has had actually to find a more permanent solution than a floating vessel to put people on whilst they’re getting processed and I think it’s entirely Justified for people of all Persuasions whether or not they think that these people should all be let in on mass whether they think they
Should all be deported or whether they are somewhere in the middle I think it is perfectly reasonable for everybody to say well that’s five years now fine of years that there has been for the government to come up with um a plan and this big sort of you know uh Flagship
Policy of barges has had to be scaled back because it might be potentially dangerous to put people on the budget and still no planes are going to Rwanda people aren’t being deported back to their home countries but they also don’t have a permanent accommodation we can’t process them fast enough and I think
That as you say it sounds a little bit shambolic practically okay Susie we’ll have a quick look at the front of the Guardian as well as silent barge evacuated I mean do you think uh do you think I mean there has been a suggestion that um uh they may
Never get back on board this boat uh and it really is the end of end of it when it in terms of uh the Bibi Stockholm being a solution do do you feel that that is a possibility Stockholm was never a solution because it could never take 172 000 Asylum
Seekers and our immigration problem if you think we have a problem is not the fact that we have 172 000 Asylum Seekers if you are a died in the world racist who thinks there are too many migrants then your issue is the legal migration the people who are given visas and of
Whom are about five or six times in number uh what we have who are seeking Asylum the people who were going onto the barge and the people who are seeking Asylum are the vast majority of them despite the fact that home office don’t like putting the numbers out we think
The vast majority are Asylum Seekers they have a genuine right to be here and they do get approved in the end um and the all that the barge was was a ploy it was a an image a symbol something that the government could wave to say look how cruel we are to people
This is going to work and it was never going to deal with the fundamental issues of the Small Boat Crossings or immigration it was only ever a PR exercise and it’s been handled incredibly badly by people who can’t even manage a PR exercise so the chances
Of them actually being able to fix the fundamental problem of immigration much of which is caused by climate change and so on is actually Beyond them okay all right well we’ll discuss this more um after 11 o’clock but I just want to move on to the front of the Daily Express
Benedict uh doctors striking again and there’s a real stalemate here isn’t that I mean I find the the way that the express is frame this doctors are striking to bring down the Tories is particularly interesting I mean presumably if you are a member of a profession and you think that the
Government of the day is not fulfilling it’s its role towards you um it’s not an awful thing to want to see that government change if it’s not actually going to change its policies and I think actually that throughout this uh this very sorry episode we’ve seen that the
Government is you know dragging its heels frankly on something that it knows has to be addressed everybody who works in the NHS knows something has to change it can’t carry on in its permanent state so to Simply frame it like that and say oh the doctors are trying to bring print
Down the Tories they’re going to go well yeah them and about a thousand dollar Perfections as things are currently working out um it is yeah it is you know a a a bit of a gridlock a bit of a deadlock at the moment but ultimately the public will
Not put up with it and you know we’re coming towards an election now uh in the next sort of 12 to 18 months and people will look at the Tories record over the last few years and say do I feel rich or do I feel poorer are the queues at the
Hospital longer are they shorter all of these sorts of things and the Tories fail on pretty much every metric so I don’t think it’s the doctors that are fighting to bring down the Tories I think the Tories are doing a perfect job of that themselves Susie I think Benedict’s doing a marvelous
Jump thing and liberal Lefty commentator I know you can say anything at all anymore no I’m just despondent what are your thoughts on on on the latest round of uh strikes Junior doctors being offered uh six percent pay rise of course plus a payment the government saying that that is their
Best and final offer um doctors still calling for the equivalent of 35 percent well that needs to be somewhere that’s a negotiation and you meet somewhere in the middle the fact is there isn’t much negotiating happening I think if they live stream those negotiations uh all sides might behave a little bit better
When they’re in the room and might do a little bit more hard work rather than posture when they’re outside the room but you know the express front page is a bit mad not every doctor’s striking not every doctor is a is a labor lunatic and
Not every doctor is a is a Tory Twitty they’re they’re you know there’s a people are allowed to have political views and some of them are striking because they want to fix the problem in the NHS and they want to demonstrate how bad it is and others are not striking
Because they feel that they can’t it’s a personal decision for everyone involved and as Benedict says everyone who takes go takes strike action it you know is technically trying to bring down the government I suppose if they’re asking for a public sector pay rise but also they’re just they’re just trying to get
Their message across you know people strike sometimes in private companies as well they’re not trying to bring the boss of the company to their knees they’re just trying to be heard okay labor lunatics and toy twits I love it all right stay where you are we will
Chat again in a minute coming up after the break on the Press preview we’ll be looking at story on the front of the Ft as King Charles may get a 45 pay rise staring anger amongst Republicans don’t go away foreign Foreign Foreign [Applause] I’m Stuart Ramsey and I’m Sky’s Chief correspondent it’s really desperate that is actually the sort of pretty much hopeless column We saw snatch words going in grabbing people you either live and recover or you die okay so that’s like a wall we help you understand the world with us over the past 24 hours the soldiers have been attacked on a number of occasions it’s really sending a clear message that
Venezuela is eager for change take you to the heart of stories that shape our world they were convinced the United States would become hooked where we’re right my normal Sixth Station it’s just come down it’s not out of control but if we’re drawing so so hot Thank you Welcome back part two of The Press preview Benedict and Susie still with us Benedict front page of the eye and there’s been a lot about uh cyber hacking uh and data leaks uh in recent days uh the most serious of course in Northern Ireland but this is an
Interesting Exclusive by the eye a foreign office employee downloaded one of those pesky emails with malware in them probably accidentally according to the eye but it opened the door to um uh the top Whitehall Network and able to access emails and private messages yes a major security breach and you know
One suspects we’re going to be hearing a lot more of these sorts of things as you know the world becomes increasingly multi-polar and uh we embrace the fact that we’re sort of in a new Cold War against certain powers China and Russia being amongst them there was of course
The story a couple of weeks ago about uh the uh the security cameras outside air MI6 uh being Chinese uh run and accessible from Beijing yeah so there will be lots of these sorts of things but I think it’s the first thing is to to recognize that this was uh a security
Sources say uh probably unintentional so that’s uh it’s not brilliant for security protocol but you know we haven’t been sort of infiltrated or anything like that the second thing I think to say is these stories you’ll ever only ever hear the negative stories you’ll never ever hear the stories about
How we’ve managed to hack the Chinese or the Russians which I guarantee you we do do because I know we like to think of them all as masterminds but they too will have people who will very similarly click on links and emails and things like that uh so yeah that we need to
Take this in proportion is that you know we are doing to them exactly what they’re doing to us but the third thing that I would say is as we are so dependent especially on China and Chinese technology there are always going to be Windows through which China
Especially is going to be able to get access to certain things in the UK now if it’s the Electoral register that’s not the end of the world but as you reference there you know uh the psni or access to the foreign office or whatever it is sometimes they might actually come
Across something that functions properly I don’t know what that might be but they might and that is slightly concerning uh Susie a quick thought on this uh I I think if they did find anything they would function properly it would be great if they could flag it up to us
I think I think I think to believe that Benedict’s a positive view that the good thing is that it was done accidentally it was just a blunder is perhaps a little bit optimistic you know rather than malignant intent we just oh we just let the hackers in because why not what’s
The point having firewalls these days um just download stuff off the internet no one don’t mind it’s okay said James Bond terrible idea um some of this stuff it does include correspondence from our diplomats abroad although it might not be classified it is still important it is still the
Things that feed into government policy and there can still be things as some of the Wikileaks have shown things that are about sayable which can be a bit embarrassing if they get published and I’m fairly sure that someone’s probably going through them right now yeah okay
We’ve just got um about 30 seconds left Benedict to look at this story on the front page of the Ft uh the Kings looming 45 pay rise stirs Republican anger now this is all about uh the income that he gets from Crown ownership of the seabed and offshore wind projects
Now I I thought he said that he was going to give profits back um to the to the public good from from those wind farms what’s this story about well it remains to be seen whether or not he will do that but who would have thought that you know investing in the
Seabed would have turned out so well for the royal family who would have thought that being such a large landowner would pay such dividends um I mean 45 it’s staggering really and you you consider how much it is that we are investing in Renewables especially in in
Wind and we all thought that offshore would you know be a lot cheaper and it turns out that somebody’s making an absolute Fortune from it and who doesn’t happen to be are the man that doesn’t actually need any more money uh but we we wait to see what he will do with it
You know King Charles is a is a big uh charitable Giver he has lots of uh causes that he’s very interested in so let’s wait and see maybe he will give it good causes or maybe he’ll use it to renovate the Buckingham Palace who knows
Yeah okay we probably need to uh to read more of that story from inside uh the Ft perhaps we’ll get that in the next hour Benedict uh Susie thank you both very much for the moment we will chat again in a few minutes time right now we’re
Gonna have a look at the weather warm memories wherever you go the weather sponsored by Qatar Airways well I hope you enjoyed the warm spell uh today and yesterday because cooler and fresher conditions are coming with a scattering of showers I’m afraid Eastern parts of Britain will have a mostly fine
Start to Saturday morning but further west it will be cloudier and windier as bands of Sherry rain moving off the Atlantic overall it’s set to be a breezy day with a mix of Sunny spells and Scattered blustery showers especially in the Northwest temperatures will be down
A few degrees back to near average for the time of year feather bands of Sherry rain will move East through the day heaviest and possibly thundering Thunderman
