Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The broadcast began with breaking news of a 16-year-old boy left with potentially life-threatening gunshot wounds after a shooting near a Birmingham mosque, with police not believing the incident was connected to the mosque. Hampshire police officers are under investigation for potential gross misconduct over the arrest and handcuffing of stabbed student Henry Novak, with the IOPC examining whether they failed to recognize he needed urgent medical help. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmoud banned asylum seekers from being housed in new-build homes after a backlash over plans for a development in Stoke Heath, where locals said they were told the homes would be for affordable housing. A couple dressed in black masks climbed the Empire State Building, unfurled a banner reading 'when the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace,' and were taken into custody. In the World Cup, England defeated the Democratic Republic of Congo 2-1 thanks to two late goals from captain Harry Kane, securing a place in the last 16 against Mexico.
The panel then discussed tomorrow's front pages, focusing on the imminent release of rape gang ringleader Shabir Ahmed after serving 14 years of a sentence that should have been at least 40, with the host calling it a 'massive injustice' and panelists criticizing a legal loophole preventing his deportation. A secret dossier compiled by former MI6 agent Christopher Steele alleged that Lord Mandelson was considered a 'privileged contact' by Russian intelligence, though the dossier does not provide evidence he spied for Russia and Mandelson dismissed the claims as nonsense. The panel also covered reports that Andy Burnham's allies have threatened a 'hands-off welfare' stance, and that a defense black hole has tripled to £15 billion, while Burnham faces pressure to find billions in cuts. Later, GB News correspondent Ben Leo reported live from Atlanta, speaking with England fans celebrating the victory and looking ahead to the match in Mexico.

But I think Steve this is really serious story The reason why he's still here even though he's stripped him of his British citizenship He shouldn't be in this country, but because there's this archaic law that was made in 1971 It was the 1973 acts a Commonwealth Act, which said that anyone who comes with Britain before 1973 cannot be deported

Ahmed cannot be deported to Pakistan because of the Immigration Act 1971, which prevents removal of Commonwealth citizens who arrived before 1973 and had lived in the UK for at least five years.

The population the prison is way too high. Now. We're releasing people, you know, that is a failure of a state Releasing people anyway, that's one side which we had that discussion last week for this one It is this loophole isn't it ridiculous if he'd have landed in this country in 1974, he'd be deported So correct the loophole a government should be going around finding loopholes and correcting them

Indefinite leave to remain so surely we could close this this seems like a problem that could be and there's a lovely quote from from Ruby the victim that says this system seems to be focused once again on the abuser That's exactly the problem that we see in loads of these stories. It's the wrong way around to run a country

I will ask the home secretary and foreign secretary to review all possible options and they should consider nothing is off the table This seems like a very simple fix to me.

Contested quote Rochdale grooming gang ringleader Shabir Ahmed to be released from prison
Yeah, I just want to pick up something that Andy Burnham said in his statement actually, which is I mean, it's so disingenuous It's unbelievable. So that nothing is off the table I mean that is unequivocally not true If Shabana Mahmoud said came and said the only way we can deport this man is if we leave the ECHR
