would remove . um, until that would remove. um, until that actually works , there's people actually works, there's people are still going to come, they're still going put up in hotels and still, you know, filming themselves on tiktok, you know, making tax free in the uk. making money tax free in the uk. >> the story today that we've now cleared, the backlog of people processed. now cleared, the backlog of pe> no, i was all nonsense. >> no, i was all nonsense. >> say marilyn, mum >> when they say marilyn, mum was and then you find was a size 16 and then you find out that a 1952 size 16 was completely they've completely different. they've just changed the boundaries, essentially. they've essentially. but yeah, they've cleared that backlog, but not the backlog , just the backlog the backlog, just the backlog up to june of a certain year when to a june of a certain year when something was mentioned about, we've the old backlog. we've cleared the old backlog. >> one is just an >> the new one is just an a queue to be processed. yeah. >> new one is mainland >> the new one is in mainland europe. warming doing europe. just warming up, doing some boxing . some shadow boxing. >> also clearing the >> yeah. and also clearing the backlog something that's backlog isn't something that's positive a lot of times positive because a lot of times that's, know, people have that's, you know, people have come they say, no, come here and they say, oh no, you they're you can all all right. they're just out the sort of just dishing out the sort of asylum. uh, okay. just and people are gaming the asylum system. so, you know , telling system. so, you know, telling people yeah, you're people that. yeah, you're definitely going to you're going

to faster if you to get cleared faster if you come live. that's not come here to live. that's not reducing the incentive for people to make dangerous people to make that dangerous crossing. finally, which crossing. and finally, which news shatteringly important story is the daily leading story is the daily star leading with cressida mega important news from one of the best names streets . streets ever. >> uh, it's the battle of lane . >> uh, it's the battle of lane. brilliant. so it's in the west country ? of course it is. it's country? of course it is. it's near bath, mind. look, not being funny the other funny and all the other catchphrases. it says catchphrases. uh it says sourpusses living in the delightfully named lane in the south—west england are at war south—west of england are at war after road signs with the distinctive moniker mr went missing. so people are nicking them. because it's funny, isn't it? because it was a great christmas present, let's be honest. >> yeah, yeah, i saw this and thought of you. yeah. >> fantastic. lane, the lesser known of , uh, ghislaine known sister of, uh, ghislaine maxwell . might get a mention in maxwell. might get a mention in the files, though. >> um, so that's it for part one. stay with us for epstein's naughty doctors that naughty list. doctors that aren't there and patients that don't

dave. so until those are done, you can't say you've cleared that backlog .

that backlog. >> welcome back to headliners i'm stephen allen still with leo kearse because he does and chris whitten because she is. that's a boating joke. before anyone gets upset the telegraph leo and the epstein files are being released a bit. prince andrew sweating actually. wait a minute. maybe he's he's incapable of sweating . he's he's incapable of sweating. >> so prince andrew is braced for fresh controversy as damning files are expected to link him to jeffrey epstein. like nobody saw the link already. >> this is not exactly new news, not the new stuff. >> there is going to be new, uh, information released. there's going to be the names of 170 associates of epstein, the billionaire financier who, uh, they've he killed himself they've said he killed himself in prison in 2019. well if that's what you reckon. uh and there's also going to be evidence from other victims of prince andrew and from from other people who visited the island. lots of people visited the island. bill clinton, um, bill gates, all the bills, um , bill gates, all the bills, um, but the bill oddie , some of them

telling them they're going to have a baby girl twins. but really, they're just two boys from completely anyway. so obviously chaos has ensued and the boys have been returned to their biological parents. um, and the doctors are being sued, quite rightly . quite rightly. >> it's mad that, uh, somebody can actually, you can be pregnant with somebody else's embryo and your body doesn't , embryo and your body doesn't, like, reject it or anything. that's that's quite mad. but when they describe it as an unimaginable mishap, unimaginable, they're like getting embryos and putting them in petri dishes and then putting them swapping around them and swapping them around and stuff. i'd and all this sort of stuff. i'd do in my week i do this in my first week if i was a fertility doctor. >> do famously all look >> embryos do famously all look quite similar. yeah, and they're tiny little like, ah, this one. yeah >> you drop it and then like, you pick something else up off the ground and you know , this is the ground and you know, this is bound is bound to happen. >> you're judging cressida . but >> you're judging cressida. but we could get leo in the nhs , pay we could get leo in the nhs, pay him make him about 70 grand and make a saving. do you see how that level of medical knowledge could help the n hs? >> help the nhs?
