people are drawing a connection between beirut, between the two things. as all these things. but as with all of these things, things. but as with all of these thcomes to the middle east in it comes to the middle east in this kind of conflict, making assumptions absolute this kind of conflict, making assunthings absolute this kind of conflict, making assunthings canabsolute this kind of conflict, making assunthings can do.»lute this kind of conflict, making assunthings can do. noe exactly. >> i mean, even even iran have stopped of blaming israel. stopped short of blaming israel. i they've acclaimed it as i mean, they've acclaimed it as an on sovereignty an attack on their sovereignty as they would and as as they as they would and as they should. they probably should. >> think it could be >> do you think it could be a french guyana or iceland? i was thinking isle of man. >> . >> right. >> w- w— i >> -- >> but but this is a serious escalation in cyprus. >> thank you andrew, it is very serious. i just cannot see it being israel from my naive perspective on the basis that a they're pretty busy right now and they did kill the deputy leader of hamas in beirut. >> yeah. um, very, very pinpointed attack. >> by the you see did >> by the way, did you see did you see the aftermath ? you see the aftermath? >> yeah. it was just he was in an apartment. just blew that apartment out. yeah, out of the world. but um, uh, it would . i world. but um, uh, it would. i just don't know what israel would gain from it. that's what i'm trying to understand. >> also, always the risk with this is when iran or indeed lebanon weighed into this and

not that they haven't already, because we know that the october seventh pogrom was largely all or at least funded from iran . so or at least funded from iran. so we know that that's a possibility. but we also know that if lebanon, if hezbollah and there's been a few sort of exchanges of rockets, and that's about it a lot. but comparative to what they have very little. yeah because because hezbollah has many tens of thousands of rockets at its disposal . yeah. rockets at its disposal. yeah. if they do act actively engage it would it would change everything. oh no. >> bring bring about the collapse of lebanon, which uh, which used to be it used to be a christian country. it was a stable, you know, uh, stable, rich country. yeah. it's rich country. yeah. and now it's an basket case. um, but an absolute basket case. um, but but, israel is but, yeah, i mean, israel is sort of on a on a dicey wicket here, but also also iran is. and iran's got lots of enemies. i mean, it's funded the war against israel and so many fronts, not just hezbollah and hamas, but also the fund , the hamas, but also the fund, the backed, the houthi rebels who are blowing up ships trying are blowing up ships or trying to ships in the red sea.

to blow up ships in the red sea. so i can understand israel wanting out at them. wanting to lash out at them. >> that's how you it onto >> that's how you make it onto the of evil list. yeah, the axis of evil list. yeah, well , that's do it. well, that's how you do it. >> i can cynically see why this would advantageous iran , would be advantageous to iran, however, because they they there are plenty of people in that part of the world that are looking to get into this fight. >> yes, and escalate it. and this would be an excellent way to do so. and of course, combine that with what happened yesterday beirut. you've yesterday in beirut. and you've got a recipe for, you say, got a recipe for, like you say, huge warfare. got a recipe for, like you say, huge right/arfare. got a recipe for, like you say, huge right . rfare. got a recipe for, like you say, huge right . well, let's move >> all right. well, let's move on to the guardian . now. on to the guardian. now. thursday's guardian paul, they are leading with something very different. what's their story. >> pressure on uh, pm >> yes. yeah. pressure on uh, pm grows as striking doctors warn of further disruption . of further disruption. >> listen, this is this seems like a perennial headline. it does, it does . does, it does. >> it's been going on for some time, and it's no surprise it's going on under a tory government. i'd be interested to see what would happen next christmas. however i'm now starting to question the ethics here. oh, yeah. don't think here. oh, yeah. i don't think

anything's gained . and, anything's being gained. and, um, only thing i see in um, the only thing i see in being gained is , is the unions being gained is, is the unions are able to further their cause. yes. and the patients are getting more anxious . getting more anxious. >> do you think that there should be some kind of regulation, as they have in france prevents minimum france, which prevents minimum level? minimum level level? yeah minimum level exactly. prevents people who work in emergency public services striking. services from striking. >> asked that maybe >> had you asked me that maybe two i'd have said no, two years ago, i'd have said no, because striking. because i support striking. i support the right to strike. however this is proven. i think , however this is proven. i think, for me and i can't see me changing my mind now. there needs minimum service needs to be a minimum service level requirement the level requirement against the nhs , right? which would require nhs, right? which would require i even it even includes i don't even if it even includes our armed forces. we need to be able to say, well, they go down there at the there and point the guns at the doctors. mean, this is so doctors. i mean, this is so extreme i the medical extreme. i mean, the medical staff within the army or navy for the extreme view. >> so you could give nurses machine guns. >> yeah. you haven't thought this paul. no i haven't, this through paul. no i haven't, that that's because that that is not. that's because that is what saying. is not what i'm saying. >> not bad >> actually that's not a bad idea. up it. idea. now you come up with it. leah, what you think about

leah, what do you think about this? because obviously people aren't striking. aren't just striking. there's a risk. health risk. obviously, whenever health professionals strike, there's a risk life. yeah, it's risk of loss of life. yeah, it's very, serious. i don't very, very serious. but i don't think the case that they're think it's the case that they're just hell of it just doing it for the hell of it to the unions. i think to empower the unions. i think there are legitimate grievances. >> have legitimate >> no, they do have legitimate reasons. want reasons. i mean, they want what is pay mean, is it, 35% pay rise? i mean, hey, that sounds pretty reasonable. yeah i mean, well, not everybody else is not when everybody else is struggling. not have a 35% struggling. why not have a 35% pay struggling. why not have a 35% pay rise under paid? >> they're underpaid. pay rise under paid? >> they're und underpaid , >> they're not underpaid, though. i mean, doctors, this is the thing . it's like looking at the thing. it's like looking at look looking at it as a as a sort of as if they've reached the final rung of their career. junior doctors are basically getting paid to study and learn and become proper doctors, you know, fully whatever the opposite of a junior doctor is a senior doctor . senior doctor. >> yeah, but they are actually working. i mean, it's not like they're just standing by observing kind observing junior doctors kind of are crucial to get things. >> they're working, but their fingers are probably trembling. >> they're working, but their fing know? probably trembling. >> they're working, but their fing know? pmean,/ trembling. >> they're working, but their fing know? pmean, they're ling. >> they're working, but their fing know? pmean, they're about you know? i mean, they're about 17 old. 17 years old. >> imagine lots of >> you just imagine lots of dougie sort of. yeah. dougie houses sort of. yeah. >> wow. have you thought about

doogie years? doogie howser for 30 years? >> junior doctor. he was >> he's a junior doctor. he was pretty good. >> need strike >> he didn't need a strike because he was on actor's wages. yeah um, this isn't like the train which are really train strikes, which are really annoying and frustrating. they are, however , there is a. i'll are, however, there is a. i'll go back to what i said originally. there is an ethics involved just involved here, and i just believe taking oath as believe you're taking an oath as a doctor and as doing so, you're kind of up right to kind of giving up your right to strike in this way, i believe. so because i believe that your priority should be the patient. >> okay. well, let's move on to the i thursdays. i leo, what are they leading with? so they have trump 2.0 is a threat to the uk war on britain's top diplomats. >> i'm not sure i agree with this. they're saying that trump could, uh, could kick things off in the east. it's like in the middle east. it's like they're off. they're already kicked off. yeah. don't you've yeah. i don't know if you've noficed. noticed. >> read the news, isn't it? >> read the news, isn't it? >> that >> diplomats? but yeah, that ship it's not ship is definitely so. it's not just sailed. it's been bombed in the red houthi rebels. the red sea by houthi rebels. uh, you could pull uh, they also say you could pull out nato. uh i don't i don't out of nato. uh i don't i don't think he would. i mean, trump didn't he think he would. i mean, trump didnwhen he he

think he would. i mean, trump didnwhen he was he think he would. i mean, trump didnwhen he was in he think he would. i mean, trump didnwhen he was in in he think he would. i mean, trump didnwhen he was in in power, he was when he was in in power, he was when he was in in power, he was as being one of the, was notable as being one of the, i think, president to . i think, the only president to. not start any wars. >> that's their worry, isn't it? they're saying they're saying that he will pull out. he'll stop supporting ukraine. that he will pull out. he'll st0|butpporting ukraine. that he will pull out. he'll st0|but america ukraine. that he will pull out. he'll st0|but america is.raine. that he will pull out. he'll st0|but america is already >> but america is already basically pulled and basically pulled out and hung ukraine dry think ukraine out to dry and i think europe needs to get serious and realise it needs to realise that it needs to put money and also money into ukraine, and it also needs mean, i say needs to i mean, when i say money, need to give them money, we need to give them arms, which basically basically means funding weapons manufacturing in our own countries. it's stimulating countries. so it's stimulating our win for our economy. it's a win win for europe . europe. >> what do you think that articles this, let's articles like this, uh, let's be honest, very politically honest, put very politically partisan publications the partisan publications like the l, partisan publications like the i, uh, this is a sign that they're getting nervous that they're getting nervous that they might that they think that maybe actually win maybe trump will actually win it. >> that's all it is. >> that's all it is. >> because adds other >> because it adds no other value whatsoever . >> because it adds no other val|trumptsoever . >> because it adds no other val|trump is»ever. >> because it adds no other val|trump is notr. >> because it adds no other val|trump is not responsible for >> trump is not responsible for any things he that any of the things that he that they project that he might be responsible in the future. um leo is absolutely right in everything he said. one thing i would is i don't think would question is i don't think we anything to worry about we have anything to worry about at the uk. if trump was at all in the uk. if trump was to have a second time, i don't

think caused us any problems think he caused us any problems whatsoever during his first time. time was. he time. it's first time he was. he was much kinder to us, uh, or at least rhetorically . least rhetorically. >> this can't be right. when he was over here, they floated a big baby trump balloon. well, that's because it wasn't big. >> it was tiny. it was. it was the i've ever. the lamest thing i've ever. >> it was going big. they >> it was going to be big. they ordered a big one, and it ordered a big one, and then it turned was like turned up. it was like stonehenge and spinal tap. >> i just don't i just don't see. i just don't the see. i just don't see the problem. feel free to problem. i mean, feel free to tweet i don't see the tweet me, but i don't see the problem. >> okay, well, we're going to move the mail. uh, paul. move on to the mail. uh, paul. >> well, first of all, we should point how close littler point out how close luke littler became, got to became, uh, became, uh, got to becoming championship . becoming the world championship. >> didn't he is the 16 >> uh, he didn't he is the 16 year old, uh , in 16 in darts year old, uh, in 16 in darts player years. >> that's about 40. >> that's about 40. >> yes, yes , exactly. yeah, exactly. >> he's got a life expectancy of 28. and he's , uh, he's halfway 28. and he's, uh, he's halfway through. i mean, he does look older than 60. >> so, so full disclosure alongside our producer martin, i watched the darts whilst i was

like he dropped the ball on it. and the horizon scandal it was. i was absolutely shocked when i found about it. so more than found out about it. so more than 600 postmasters prosecuted , 600 postmasters were prosecuted, uh, of uh, you know, accused of stealing money. because stealing money. yes. because this this faulty accounting system said, you know, it came up short. so, you know, it looked like they had their fingers in the till, falsely accused, they're falsely accused, and they're all falsely accused, and they're all falsely accused were accused and their lives were ruined. reputation were ruined, and, so much ruined. reputation were ruined, and, on so much ruined. reputation were ruined, and, on people. so much ruined. reputation were ruined, and, on people. uh, so much ruined. reputation were ruined, and, on people. uh, and,nuch ruined. reputation were ruined, and, on people. uh, and, you1 shame on people. uh, and, you know, destroyed careers as well . know, destroyed careers as well. >> wasn't malevolence, it >> and it wasn't malevolence, it was incompetence on a was just incompetence on a massive wasn't it? massive scale. wasn't it? >> yeah, but what's the i mean, you could see the soviet union like 100 people died. it wasn't malevolent. and a massive incompetence and a massive scale. and this is, know, scale. and this is, you know, this basically the this is this is basically the soviet on a small scale. soviet union on a small scale. uh, government that uh, so the government said that earmark, £700 million to pay earmark, uh, £700 million to pay compensation . compensation. >> so now ed davey is saying that he regrets it basically. yeah, he regrets, isn't it? he regrets it. >> and i'm you know, if he >> and i'm sure, you know, if he ever into power again, ever gets into power again, he'll try not. he'll try not to cause let's be honest, there's no danger of that , is there? no danger of that, is there? >> that's not that's not really

from at the moment because they see but i don't, i see the polls. but i don't, i don't it. don't buy it. >> yeah. well not very for good ed but at least he's in ed davey, but at least he's in the i suppose thursday's the papers, i suppose thursday's guardian about guardian next has this about ryanair unfair yeah. ryanair or ryan. unfair yeah. >> well so some say including courts in in ireland. so ryan ticket ryan tickets ryanair ticket ryan tickets ryanair ticket sales hit after travel agent websites delist airlines. there's quite a bit going on here so i'll try and provide as much context as possible. career says such sites only account for a small fraction of its bookings, and has had a small impact on its affected load factor . and load factor is the factor. and load factor is the percentage of seats they can sell within a plane , so it's had sell within a plane, so it's had some effect on that. ryanair have said they were respond to this welcome removal, so they're playing this as a positive spin . playing this as a positive spin. now what's happened in the background is they've had a big falling booking.com . falling out with booking.com. com they've had an injunction put against them by the irish courts because they've been scraping data from these websites and using it for their own means .

entirety of scotland and humza yousaf right now doesn't seem to give, give a care . i am give, uh, give a care. i am almost swore there doesn't care at all about scotland. >> he just cares about gaza. >> he just cares about gaza. >> tweets about 20 times a >> he tweets about 20 times a day about the people of gaza. >> fill here on >> can you fill us in here on leo? because understanding is leo? because my understanding is that with drugs in that the situation with drugs in scotland optimum . scotland is far from optimum. >> can still get them. >> no, we can still get them. >> no, we can still get them. >> okay, fine. >> no, we can still get them. >> yeah. okay, fine. >> no, we can still get them. >> yeah. no, ay, fine. >> no, we can still get them. >> yeah. no, 11, fine. >> no, we can still get them. >> yeah. no, i mean, the issue, uh, with these babies in particular is there are so many people addicted drugs people addicted to drugs in scotland know, even scotland that, you know, even pregnant mothers are addicted to drugs. and so are being drugs. and so babies are being born addicted drugs. this is born addicted to drugs. this is like would happen like something that would happen in, know, in, you know, slums, you know, absolute favelas somewhere. yeah. , you know, these yeah. and so, you know, these drugs, are passing into drugs, drugs are passing into the baby pregnancy. and the baby during pregnancy. and then the babies are born basically rattling, rattling , basically rattling, rattling, desperate for heroin or whatever. they're still healthier than your average scottish child. but you know, they're born addicted to drugs. >> so why wouldn't the snp prioritise something like this? >> the snp too busy >> because the snp are too busy chasing identity politics and chasing, you know, this sort of

tribal battle with with england and westminster and agitating for, for, um, for independence . for, for, um, for independence. >> what do you think about that? well, absolutely. that's a fair assessment. >> they started out with one policy, which was independence, and any wing and then just took any left wing idea floating in the wind idea floating around in the wind in order to help them achieve it. fell on their sword. but it. and fell on their sword. but the you know, the collateral damage of that disastrous way of governing any country has meant that we've got this problem. now, taking your eye off the ball is a huge understatement. you take your eye off the ball when don't need, when you when you don't need, when you don't house don't meet new two house building targets . building targets. >> a single issue >> when you have a single issue party, when there's a failure of governance, you're not to governance, you're not going to secure votes need. secure the votes that you need. and we've seen a and i think that we've seen a decline support for scottish decline in support for scottish independence, i imagine, largely because of the ineptitude of the snp. yeah, think it's given snp. yeah, i think it's given people taster of what an people a taster of what an independent be independent scotland would be like . like. >> yeah. and you know, at the moment it looks like westminster is rain on scotland. is the only rain on scotland. you only thing you know, the only thing stopping descending you know, the only thing stoppingabyss descending

you know, the only thing stoppingabyss. descending into the abyss. >> right. okay. well let's move on to the next, and on to the mail next, paul. and is about to be a youth is there about to be a youth crime spree to pay their asbo? fine. >> well , well, quite possibly. i >> well, well, quite possibly. i think quite terrifying. think he is quite terrifying. um, children as young as ten years old could face £500 asbo fines for breaching busy body orders that can be used to ban playing football. but these aren't set up to ban playing. no so of course they've got they've put that in their title to get people in. that could be one of the that could get you in the things that could get you in trouble, but it's very unlikely. so under new law, so this is under a new law, which um, asbos, which was replacing um, asbos, which was replacing um, asbos, which as the which is now known as the community notice. community protection notice. yes. being yes. and it's being it's being lowered all lowered from 16 year olds all the down primary school the way down to primary school age as ten. yes and, and age as low as ten. yes and, and the minimum fines going up from 100 to 500. so people have been threatened with the orders for failing to clean windows, overfilling their bins, feeding a neighbour's cat, wearing a bikini in the garden . i mean, bikini in the garden. i mean, this all sounds a quid for feeding a cat. >> yeah, yeah, i mean, it seems a bit excessive.

>> it does. but i'll tell you for i've got called for why. i've got a cat called wilson and if i'm not fed him. yeah would have because yeah he would have died because his neighbour unwell his neighbour is very unwell and b cost he's cost me b it would cost me. he's cost me a than £500 since he's a lot more than £500 since he's moved in and he's taken my wife. but don't should but i don't think i should have been.i but i don't think i should have been. i should have been fined in these is this being in any way. these is this being misrepresented here? a little bit, misrepresented. bit, slightly misrepresented. 100% but the thing that 100% agree. but the thing that worries me more than anything is this buried this measures have been buried in bill and in the criminal justice bill and every now and again we keep seeing these bills seeing these new bills introduced got these seeing these new bills intro clauses got these seeing these new bills introclauses which got these seeing these new bills introclauses which have1ese tiny clauses in which have massive and they're not massive impacts. and they're not they're not socialism, they're not conservative. um, i don't know what they are. i'm in totalitarianism. i don't know what they are and what service. what they provide, what service they provide, i suppose an asbo for child is suppose an asbo for a child is really a punishment for the parent. >> it's not going to be the child it. yeah. and child who pays it. yeah. and i suppose some of suppose it's some kind of incentive for to parents get a grip on their unruly rugrats. >> they're idea. >> yeah, they're a great idea. there words. and there we go. in other words. and a of these that paul a lot of these things that paul has feeding has been saying, like feeding cats, they're very annoying to people don't like people like me who don't like watching fed.

watching cats being fed. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> about the bikinis? yeah >> what about the bikinis? yeah >> what about the bikinis? yeah >> you're all for this >> so you're all for this scheme? yeah >> bikinis, we're >> and bikinis, like we're a one. we're a one piece. >> we go . okay. thank you. >> there we go. okay. thank you. leo now finishing this section on, uh, a guardian story about a new anti antibiotic . what's new anti antibiotic. what's this? yeah. >> so scientists hail a new antibiotic that can kill drug resistant bacteria . so, you resistant bacteria. so, you know, for a while now, we've heard that drug resistant bacteria are the biggest threat to human life because antibiotics are over prescribed to humans and also used in farming quite a lot as well . uh, farming quite a lot as well. uh, the, you know, these these strains of bacteria are becoming, uh , hardened to, to becoming, uh, hardened to, to any sort of because people complete the course and people don't complete the course as well. but yet any time, you know , survive course of , bacteria survive a course of antibiotics, they're the ones that have, like , you know, that have, like, you know, they've the strength , they've developed the strength, whatever and it's this whatever it is. and it's this hardened shell. >> they're armour plated by armour plated basically. >> there's three bacteria >> so there's three bacteria that the greatest threat to that pose the greatest threat to human health, uh, because of

their extensive drug resistance and this kills them. it's and this kills one of them. it's called zuzu crabapple . but you called zuzu crabapple. but you probably. that's exactly how you pronounce it. that's to stop people. um that's to stop it being overprescribed because nobody will be able to pronounce it. >> yeah, yeah, that's a good stream. >> but yeah, i didn't i knew we didn't have to worry about antibiotic resistant i antibiotic resistant drugs. i knew out and knew we could just go out and get and stuff. no get infected and stuff. no i mean, i used to think this was the that was going end the thing that was going to end the thing that was going to end the it's the world, but now that it's clear going to be i. clear it's going to be i. >> i'm not really worried about this anymore. of course it's i. yeah, it's going in yeah, yeah, it's going to be in about this about ten years. yeah. this wouldn't happen for at least. >> wouldn't about >> yeah i wouldn't worry about it. think fantastic news it. i think it's fantastic news of but every silver of course. but every silver lining cloud. know, lining has a cloud. you know, we're live forever. we're going to live forever. that doesn't just three that doesn't mean just us three going forever. it's some going to live forever. it's some of greatest human beings of the greatest human beings that planet of the greatest human beings th.the planet of the greatest human beings th.the the planet of the greatest human beings th.the the there planet of the greatest human beings th.the the there are planet of the earth. the there are actually we dislike actually people that we dislike that could live forever. and that could live forever. and that me more anything. >> andrew. that is a worry. >> andrew. that is a worry. >> admire optimism. >> admire your optimism. >> okay, well, you made it halfway uh, but halfway next week. uh, but listen, we've go for listen, we've got to go for a break now, please don't go break now, so please don't go anywhere we've got some

anywhere because we've got some bbc james gnashing

>> you're listening to gb news radio . radio. >> welcome back to headliners. your first look at thursday's newspapers and straight back into the express. paul the bbc are really stoking the culture wars, aren't they? >> they are. i mean, the headune >> they are. i mean, the headline says bbc caught lying again over resignation of harvard's claudine gay, who just explain who that is. so she she was one of the, um , her titles was one of the, um, her titles her her title was president . her her title was president. yeah. president. that's the word i'm looking for. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> um, her and the pens. president, the top universities in in the states were in front of congress, and they were being they were being questioned about about the about anti—semitism on the campus. they asked, you know, whether okay if whether it would be okay if there were there was a or if they were disciplined someone if were disciplined someone if they were shouting genocide . shouting about jewish genocide. and was a very binary answer. and it was a very binary answer. yes yeah. and they said, yes or no. yeah. and they said, you know, it depends because on the context , it depends the

the context, it depends on the context. the context, it depends on the conapparently are some >> apparently there are some contexts the contexts where calling for the genocide . genocide is acceptable. >> isn't. now >> it absolutely isn't. now is it someone would it misgendering someone would be an automatic dismissal. you know, those are violent. know, those words are violent. >> that was it though, wasn't it? because the hypocrisy was what bothered people the what bothered people were the fact a university fact that this is a university that has been throwing people out or not out for misgendering or not allowing people to admitted allowing people to be admitted for something they said when they email . and they were 13 on some email. and now they're basically saying calling genocide calling for the genocide of jews is but the is, bbc is okay. but the point is, bbc she the bbc. so claudine gay though she resigned though uh, she resigned ultimately , didn't and ultimately, didn't she? yes. and then she was accused of plagiarism. there was plagiarism. and there was mounting evidence that had, mounting evidence that she had, in plagiarised in fact, plagiarised during her doctoral and the bbc's doctoral thesis and the bbc's headlines. no i think we've got an image of the bbc's headline, uh, harvard calling gay a casualty of campus culture wars. and as andrew neil pointed out on x, he said, no, you're a casualty of being unable to condemn outright calls for the genocide of jews and of increasing evidence of widespread plagiarism in her limited academic output. >> this is a kind of culture

war. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> if your culture is ripping off other people's work . yeah. off other people's work. yeah. and calling for genocide , then and calling for genocide, then don't you think, though, it's very interesting that you've had we've had andrew john sopel as well. >> the bbc's uh, usa reporter saying this is lazy. this is, as andrew neil said, this headline does not meet the regulatory requirement to be accurate and impartial. doubt impartial. there's no doubt about that. paul, what about that. now, paul, what happens here? why it that the happens here? why is it that the bbc, and more now i've seen bbc, more and more now i've seen them slipping up where they're news or their headlines news articles or their headlines are rather news articles or their headlines are retaining rather news articles or their headlines are retaining that rather news articles or their headlines are retaining that regulatory than retaining that regulatory requirement of impartiality , requirement of impartiality, stupidity and cowardice, i don't think, i don't think it says caught lying. >> i don't think they believe they're lying in the same way as a serial killer, you know, denies killing all those people . denies killing all those people. i think they genuinely are either caught being stupid on these matters , or they're too these matters, or they're too cowardly to call a spade a spade because they've invested so much in one side of the culture war that they don't really know how to be neutral anymore. leo.

>> is that right? because you know, i mean, it was only a few weeks ago that the bbc reported an article about a man involved in the sexual abuse of minors who identifies as female, and the mention the bbc just didn't mention that. they just said it was a woman and it wasn't a woman. now, is that just a lie? and it was particularly egregious if was a particularly egregious if it a lie, because there was it was a lie, because there was a the bloke at the top a photo of the bloke at the top of article. a photo of the bloke at the top of i article. a photo of the bloke at the top of i mean, e. a photo of the bloke at the top of imean, e. that's a photo of the bloke at the top of i mean, e. that's the new >> i mean, but that's the new rules for the bbc and the rules for, for the bbc and the guardian and people that is guardian and people like that is that says that a that if somebody says that a woman, woman, not woman, they're a woman, it's not a it's something a rule, it's a it's something they to do. yes, but they decide to do. yes, but that's what a rule some that's what a rule is. some people decide to do. >> saying is there's >> so what i'm saying is there's no do no penalty if they don't do that. just we'll do that. >> yeah, but that's what they're doing. and with this, i mean, for years harvard you for years now, harvard and, you know, institutions know, uh, all these institutions and been, uh, you and the bbc have been, uh, you know, just staunch advocates of diversity, equity and inclusion, which sounds great, but, oh, it's reducing racism, actually , it's reducing racism, actually, it's reducing racism, actually, it's about hard baking. uh racism into your institution . racism into your institution. and, you know, you elevate certain , uh, minority groups

certain, uh, minority groups oven certain, uh, minority groups over, over other people. and you can only be racist or anti—racist. so if you're not, you know, actually , uh, being you know, actually, uh, being racist, then you're being racist. >> i mean, that's it isn't it? i mean, if the question had been, is it acceptable on campus to call for the genocide of black people, do you think answer people, do you think her answer would depends on the would have been depends on the context? if not, well then context? no if not, well then therefore a double therefore there is a double standard. they've been >> for years they've been calling for basically the genocide . genocide of white people. they've we need to they've been saying we need to aboush and they've been saying we need to abolish and this abolish whiteness and all this sort stuff, nobody said sort of stuff, and nobody said anything because, know, for anything because, you know, for some reason it's absolutely acceptable , to, you know, acceptable to, to, you know, discriminate white discriminate against white people and what's interesting now know, the now is that, you know, the diversity, equity and inclusion mob on to jews and mob have moved on to jews and suddenly all this suddenly it's getting all this attention. yeah. >> it'll be interesting >> and it'll be interesting because systemic because there has been systemic racism as racism at harvard insofar as that a policy. uh, so, that they had a policy. uh, so, so asian pacific students so the asian pacific students had to score higher on the entrance exam get in than any entrance exam to get in than any other race. that's okay, other race. but that's okay, because they're adjacent because they're white adjacent or who hell knows? or whatever. who the hell knows? but something needs be done, but something needs to be done, doesn't it? absolutely. i department be scrubbed. doesn't it? absolutely. i dep being it be scrubbed. doesn't it? absolutely. i dep being enabled be scrubbed. doesn't it? absolutely. i dep being enabled bybe scrubbed. doesn't it? absolutely. i dep being enabled bybe sbbc, ed. though. >> yes. >> yes. >> and that's a very, very

desperately highlight it. and i don't see what value it adds. >> very strange to the >> it's very strange to see the royal family, people, royal family, of all people, getting into this identity politics nonsense. anyway okay, so final section so it's just the final section to now. it is fun one, so to go now. it is a fun one, so don't anywhere. we've got don't go anywhere. we've got tetris, , and, uh, tetris, teleportation, and, uh, virginity reset going. i think some of you watching will want to know how to do that. so see you in
