| 0:17.8 | Welcome to Navarra Live. I'm Michael Walker. |
| 0:20.1 | And I'm joined by Helena, aka No Justice MTG. Thank you for |
| 0:24.3 | joining me this evening. It's good to be back. It's good to be with you today. I wish I was in the |
| 0:28.4 | studio in the new setup but I will make do with my usual digital foray into Navarra Live this |
| 0:34.7 | evening. Yeah, we need a head to head in person soon. We are actually going to, I think we disagree on the final story tonight. Although, I mean, it's not necessarily going to be the most heated of arguments. I think the ban on social media for under 16s in Australia is brilliant. And I've seen from a video you've posted on social media, Helena, that you don't. So you can look forward to that. |
| 0:55.8 | I suppose while you're watching, work out what side you're going to be on. The other stories we are |

| 1:44.1 | deportation scheme and threatened to withdraw the UK from it. And Reform UK has said they'll |
| 1:48.9 | bin it if they gain power, citing it is a major impediment to tackling rising migration to the UK. |
| 1:55.2 | But Labour Prime Minister Kirstama committed his government to a different path on migration |
| 1:58.9 | when he took power last year. |
| 2:05.7 | There is no need to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights. |
| 2:11.3 | That is not consistent with the values of that blood bond. |
| 2:15.8 | And so we won't withdraw, not now, not ever. |
