Podcast appearances and mentions of daniel khalife

The British Government intends to overhaul the country's immigration system after new data shows arrivals had hit a record high. New figures show net migration is at 900,000 in the year to June 2023, which Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer blames on the previous Conservative government — 22 percent higher than the original numbers. He says they had pledged to get the numbers down multiple times and failed every time. UK correspondent Kay Oliver told Heather du Plessis-Allan the big question remains how much of it is legitimate and genuine, but also how much of it is uncontrolled. Meanwhile, ex-soldier Daniel Khalife has been found guilty of spying for Iran, and the world's oldest man John Tinniswood, who was born the same year the Titanic sank, has died aged 112.

This week I spoke to Haleh from United4Mahsa, an organisation that has been helping to raise voices in Iran during the ongoing revolution for nearly a year now. We have spoken before, and with the anniversary of the death of 22-year-old Jina Mahsa Amini taking place this week, I wanted an update on all that had taken place over the past 12 months.Following the uprising after the death of Mahsa Amini in September 2022 at the hands of Iran's morality police many men, women and children have been protesting in and out of Iran. Some burned their hijabs and cut their hair to protest against Iran's brutal regime and the morality police who have been enforcing it.In this podcast, Haleh gives an update on some of the ongoing protests in Iran, and talks to me about the continued activism that many from the Iranian diaspora have continued to participate in.We discuss the risks of violent retribution for those who have family members still living in Iran when their relatives abroad speak out. Haleh also shared important figures on those who have been arrested and discussed the violent poisonings of girls, and the reports of the brutality of the morality police who have even shot protestors' eyes out.The work of the Iranian diaspora across the globe has continued to fight for freedom, and this week more protests will take place as the anniversary of Jina Mahsa Amini's arrest and murder comes to pass.Stay tuned to hear these topics and so much more, as we even speak about the former British soldier Daniel Khalife who escaped from prison this month, shortly to be returned, and his ties to the Iranian Government and the accusations of espionage and breaking the Officials Secrets Act.Thank you for listening.Links -United4Mahsa - WebsiteUnited4Mahsa - InstagramHaleh -Instagram

There's no escape for Justice Secretary Alex Chalk as he faces questions over the state of our justice system. Daniel Khalife's runner from HMP Wandsworth is only a small example of its decaying state. So why does a government with such a hardline stance on crime struggle to fund the justice system? Plus, comedian Matt Green tells us why our plight often makes us want to laugh as he discusses political comedy in bleak times. And hope is on the horizon – literally. The UK's rejoining the EU's Horizon project. Could it pave the way for a return to the bloc? Probably not, but what could be next – if anything? “What happens when you don't fund prisons is you get these terrible conditions, it becomes a safety risk.” – Rachel Cunliffe. “Even on things you'd expect Labour to have softer views on, they've been quite hardline.” – Rachel Cunliffe. “I think any word with the ‘re' prefix is a bit of a problem … we now have a bespoke WORSE deal with Horizon.” – Matt Green We're on YouTube!: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVOIkIWUDtu7VrVcFs0OI0A  www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Ros Taylor with Rachel Cunliffe and Matt Green.

Lorries are stacked waiting for extra checks at Dover and part of the M20 remains closed as the search for escaped prisoner Daniel Khalife enters its third day. Thanet MP Craig Mackinlay says it's highlighted some glaring security issues that need to be addressed. Also in today's podcast, dozens of staff have walked away from a bus company operating in Kent after the closure of a local depot. As many as 50 employees, many of them drivers, have left Stagecoach just ahead of planned service cuts. Drivers in Tunbridge Wells may have been unfairly slugged with a fine for driving in a bus lane. It's been suggested the controversial charges were introduced against government regulation. New music from a Kent singer-songwriter is set to be released ten years after he passed away. The tracks for the unreleased album, which  were stuck on his laptop after he died , have been described as his "final gift". And in sport, Gillingham are back in League 2 action this weekend as they taken on Harrogate Town. You can hear from defender Robbie Mckenzie and manager Neil Harris.  

A former British soldier awaiting trial on terror charges who appears to have escaped from a London prison by strapping himself to the underside of a food delivery truck remained at large Thursday as police stepped up security checks across the United Kingdom amid concerns he may try to flee the country. Opposition parties linked the escape to years of financial austerity, while Britain's Conservative government said an independent investigation will take place “in due course” into how Daniel Abed Khalife managed to slip out of the medium-security Wandsworth Prison, which opened in 1851 during the reign of Queen Victoria. His escape has prompted extra security checks at major transport hubs, particularly in and around the Port of Dover, the main boat crossing from England to France. Britain's justice secretary told lawmakers that “no stone must be left unturned in getting to the bottom of what happened” as he confirmed an “independent investigation into this incident.” Alex Chalk also said “urgent” reviews into prison categorization would be carried out as questions remained over how Khalife wasn't being held at a maximum-security facility such as Belmarsh Prison in east London. Khalife, 21, is accused of planting fake bombs at a military base and of violating Britain's Official Secrets Act by gathering information “that could be useful to an enemy.” He was discharged from the British army after his arrest earlier this year and had denied the allegations. His trial is set for November. Chalk said Khalife, who had been working in a kitchen at the prison, escaped at around 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning, when a vehicle that had made a delivery left. Shortly afterward, he said, contingency plans for an unaccounted prisoner were activated and police were informed. The vehicle, he added, was subsequently stopped and searched by police after the alert was raised. “Strapping was found underneath the vehicle which appeared to indicate that Daniel Khalife may have held onto the underside of it in order to escape,” Chalk said. More than 150 investigators and police staff are on the case, according to Metropolitan Police Commander Dominic Murphy, who is the lead investigator. “We have issued a nationwide alert that has resulted in increased security at our ports and borders, however currently there have not been any confirmed sightings," he said. Opposition politicians have sought to pin the blame on the Conservative government, which has been in power since 2010. Many U.K. prisons, including Wandsworth, are over capacity and short of staff. The escape could hardly have come at a worse time for a government that is already scrambling to get all schools to reopen for the new academic year amid concerns over crumbling concrete. “It simply beggars belief that a man being held on suspected terror charges was able to escape a prison by clinging to the bottom of a food delivery van,” said Shabana Mahmood, the justice spokesperson for the main opposition Labour Party. “How is such an escape even possible?” Charlie Taylor, who scrutinizes detention facilities in England in his role as the chief inspector of prisons, said staff shortages are “the source of many problems” at Wandsworth. Taylor said it “should be standard practice” for vehicles entering and leaving the prison to be checked and a prisoner has to earn a “certain level of trust” in order to be allowed to work in a kitchen. “But the issue that we are particularly concerned about is there are too many prisoners in Wandsworth for the amount of staff who are there," he said. "And that ultimately is the source of many of the problems in the jail.” In an annual review, published in July, Wandsworth Prison was deemed to be a “serious concern." The prison, which is in the middle of a residential area, holds around 1,600 defendants appearing at London courts and offenders due to be released in five wings. - by Pan Pylas, APSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Daniel Khalife absconded from HMP Wandsworth in London yesterday

Terror suspect Daniel Khalife's escape from HMP Wandsworth – believed to be by strapping himself underneath a delivery lorry - led to a police manhunt involving all 43 forces in England and Wales. The 21-year-old ex-soldier was on remand charged with collecting information which might be useful to an enemy, understood to be Iran. The justice secretary, Alex Chalk, has told MPs that an independent investigation will take place, while suggestions have been made that cuts to the Prison Service and overcrowded conditions at Wandsworth prison are partly to blame. But what does his escape tell us about the state of the prison system in England? On the Sky News Daily, host Niall Paterson speaks to David Shipley, a former inmate at HMP Wandsworth, and Professor John Podmore, an ex-prison governor and inspector, about what's wrong with Wandsworth prison and others across the country?
