individually, uh, put in a, um, a case by case, the courts. yeah, exactly. but what he's saying is, and it doesn't cover it mail, it covers it it in the mail, it covers it later he's saying later is that he's saying they're going to. so next thing we're 150 we're going to give like 150 judges. to be judges. and that's going to be their job. going fast their job. we're going to fast track if they try to track them. so if they try to delay it's just delay on that way, it's just they're just to phased. they're just going to be phased. it's a new class they're just going to be phased. it'judge a new class they're just going to be phased. it'judge that a new class they're just going to be phased. it'judge that is a new class they're just going to be phased. it'judge that is justa new class they're just going to be phased. it'judge that is just weaponized of judge that is just weaponized specifically. of judge that is just weaponized speyeah. ly. of judge that is just weaponized speyeah. what not be >> yeah. what would it not be easier actually, to, to, uh, follow being given by follow the advice being given by his hard right. uh, on mps and just tighten up the law. so that it's not available to i think that breaks that that it breaks international law, not just this international, but like proper international, but like proper international law and they've called the pm's office have sort of called their bluff and say, well, you tell us where it doesn't break international law because that was the legal advice were given, they advice they were given, why they had to that to be had to have that right to be able to go to court. echr what do think? able to go to court. echr what do well,|ink? able to go to court. echr what do well, more than the echr, >> well, more than the echr, i think bigger that, if think even bigger than that, if that makes sense. >> i think international law is essentially just a conceptual bubble, isn't it? this has been tory's policy, although tory's flagship policy, although it hasn't materialised so far.

but if they're having an actual flagship, which might have helped exactly . helped exactly. >> or if, like, uh, aircraft . >> or if, like, uh, aircraft. yeah, to be more precise. but the thing is, if they want to have any hope of, as the rebellion shows, if they want to have any hope of maybe securing a victory in the in the elections, they need to take this to the port. yeah absolutely. >> do you remember about that? uh, probably ten years ago now, a well known controversialist, uh, uttered her most, uh, death alice and a scurrilous , uh, alice and a scurrilous, uh, suggestion which were that they should put gunships off the coast of libya and stop the migrant crisis root and it migrant crisis at root and it was considered, you know, the worst thing since hitler. i suspect thousands of lives would have been saved. and an enormous amount trouble bother and amount of trouble and bother and expense and, um, and all the rest of it, if we'd done that at the time. what do you think now, in hindsight? >> hindsight is wonderful thing. >> entirely hindsight. thing. >> hindsight. hindsight. thing. >> hindsight. ishe;ight. thing. >> hindsight. ishe had. it's our hindsight. but she had the say at time the balls to say at the time anyway, at the anyway, let's have a look at the daily telegraph. nicholas >> so again, we have tory deputy

chairman over rwanda chairman to rebel over rwanda bill. the story already covered by josh . and just just adding on by josh. and just just adding on what you said about the gunships . yeah. uh, in the mediterranean , some italian politicians did suggest that. and what they did more pragmatically, they cooperated with gadhafi at that time so that they would provide him with patrols and, and training libyan forces. him with patrols and, and training libyan forces . so they training libyan forces. so they would patrol their own coast . would patrol their own coast. unfortunately, since some western powers, uh, and obama , western powers, uh, and obama, including obama, toppled gadhafi , libya turned into a highway. >> it didn't have it didn't have you as a big gaddafi fan. >> no. but i mean, we credit where credit is due . where credit is due. >> you don't have to be a fan to acknowledge is performing. >> you don't think it >> you know, i don't think it was uh , missed by was entirely, uh, missed by people knew they were people who knew what they were talking the time. and talking about at the time. and they to isis. but they gifted libya to isis. but that's another for another that's another story for another night. have in the night. but now we have in the centre of the page, we have a picture of donald trump, quite cheerful, understandably, with boxes of pizza. this is the iowa caucus tonight, officially ,

caucus tonight, officially, republican primaries start right. and as if donald trump needed any help, which he doesn't because he is miles ahead of his two chasers. it's going to be minus nine degrees celsius, which favours the sort of ardent supporters who would get out to vote, which donald trump. that's true. >> although when it comes to the actual election, you no longer need to actually physically leave home indeed lift leave your home or indeed lift a pen. i think if you just blink in an approved manner or something, can something, now you can get a ballot in. but that's of course a different set. that's the general can i just general election. can i just draw one small draw attention to one small story, noticed the story, which i've noticed on the front here? don't know if front page here? i don't know if you've con you've had time to, uh, to con it highly to offer grave next to karl marx for £25,000. that's good. >> that's good money. >> that's good money. >> yeah. is that not slightly fly in the face of the legacy of what karl marx stood for, or even about the putting aside the fact that he's, like, massively commercialised millions of dead. yeah yeah. well, what do we think about karl marx's irony, right. >> yeah. like massively commercialised t shirts with che guevara pictures on them. very

popular among lefties . popular among lefties. europeans. i mean, what people ? europeans. i mean, what people? >> it's not the exact opposite. you wouldn't say hitler, but who would you say might uh, would you say that might be? uh, a right wing philosopher a similar right wing philosopher of import? of similar import? >> i don't know, but yeah, it is bizarre, obviously, but there are rich communists out there . are rich communists out there. yeah. um, and, uh , it'd be yeah. um, and, uh, it'd be ridiculous. maybe. or maybe you just want to be sort of have some foot traffic. you know, people get a bit bored. everyone is marx one and is checking out the marx one and they who's this? oh, josh they go, who's this? oh, josh howie. who was that? who was that? a couple of it is. there's quite there's actually a lot of the telegraph got more the telegraph has got like, more stories yeah. stories than everybody. yeah. they've uh, forced they've got, uh, children forced into measles into isolation amid measles outbreak. this is in the midlands . and this is kind of midlands. and this is kind of two phenomenons together with, um , less children being um, less children being vaccinated for measles and arguably there's it's sort of it's gone cyclical because it sort of went away a little bit dunng sort of went away a little bit during lockdown. so there's these kids have got to like take three weeks off school this three weeks off school and this

is children are is already children who are suffering . yeah. so, um, is this suffering. yeah. so, um, is this the measles? >> uh, sorry. is this the vaccine hesitancy which has just spread vaccinations generally? >> well, i think it was there before because of that, that study that ultimately study that was ultimately disproved yeah uh, disproved about autism. yeah uh, and and then it sort of and then and then it sort of alludes later it says, like, alludes later on, it says, like, there communities and there are some communities and not really calling it out until very finally at the end, they say that within the muslim communities, is this communities, there is this hesitancy there. oh, okay. uh, and, there is a part of me, and, um, there is a part of me, though i remember having measles when i was a child. >> um, i suspect i was vaccinated, definitely vaccinated, but i definitely remember um, it remember having it. and, um, it was interesting was quite an interesting experience, the of the high experience, the sort of the high fevers childhood, something fevers of childhood, something that are deprived that kids are deprived of nowadays. slightly nowadays. that's slightly delirious of unreality . delirious sense of unreality. >> do you think, like the good old days when they could, you could easily and could walk to school easily and it get measles ? it made robert get measles? >> he was, you know, being confined to quarters. you want to have one look? uh sorry. to have one last look? uh sorry. >> thing about >> there's another thing about the lorraine the queen we call her lorraine says family . yeah. and i read says family. yeah. and i read that and went, oh,

says family. yeah. and i read that and went , oh, the queen, that and went, oh, the queen, she cool. and then they're she was cool. and then they're like, new queen. like, no, it's the new queen. right? so when the queen, who will always be my queen of hearts , there is only one. hearts, there is only one. >> the queen. >> the queen. >> queen? yeah and >> the queen? yeah exactly. and then. >> the queen? yeah exactly. and then . well, it was it was queen then. well, it was it was queen regent. so they very regent. so they were very like. she's regent now. she's the queen regent now. she's the queen regent now. she's queen. and they she's the queen. and they really. always knew that really. but you always knew that they try slipping really. but you always knew that theso try slipping really. but you always knew that theso feel try slipping really. but you always knew that theso feel like try slipping really. but you always knew that theso feel like thisy slipping really. but you always knew that theso feel like this islipping really. but you always knew that theso feel like this is their|g in. so i feel like this is their little. the next step little. this is the next step for and for her to be the queen. and this . this story times. >> josh will have to be quite quick with this one. >> yes. uh, we have, uh, a picture of the the picture of the three of the hostages, uh, which were, uh, hamas put out a video hamas have put out a video forcing them to see what the one in the, the, um, she the warrior children of today . we're warrior children of today. we're warrior children of today. we're warrior children today. but i just want to say it's 101 days since, uh, hamas happened and since these people have been kidnapped and, and, so the, the warrior and, uh, uh, so the, the warrior children today want a serious word ? uh, ten years they're word? uh, ten years ago, they're saying was like minion saying that it was like minion because was because the minions film was very and now from very popular. uh and now from despicable me , and now it is, uh despicable me, and now it is, uh , become like war and climate

change. and it's speaking to how these narratives, i guess, are so . seeping into . the children so. seeping into. the children through the news. but i guess through the news. but i guess through their parents, although there is a positive sign that there is a positive sign in that 42, also, think that 42, uh, also, though, think that bro is the most popular bro is a is the most popular word, but it should be said as a bunch of children of my kids who say this word incessantly, it's not bra , bra, bra. not bro, it's bra, bra, bra. they're they're like, they're like, they're like, oh, bra. really . no, bra. it's really, really. no, it's like it's like bra. it's really annoying . really annoying. >> you ain't no muslim bra, bro. um, finally , nicholas, the daily um, finally, nicholas, the daily star with the important weather. to be honest, this story probably is a lot closer to home than of the rest us. than most of the rest of us. i mean, sometimes the star mean, sometimes the daily star wanders cuckoo wanders off into cloud cuckoo land, intensity land, but yeah, the intensity of the war all experiencing is the cold war all experiencing is of some importance at the moment. >> apparently , according to >> apparently, according to boffins or buffs, diet buffs, says star, this blubbery says daily star, this blubbery weather will be a good excuse for everybody to gorge on pies and carbs, basically. so any excuse to just let ourselves go

in this i don't know what people are going to do about it, but i suspect immune systems haven't fully recovered. >> think probably be, fully recovered. >> you nk probably be, fully recovered. >> you know, probably be, fully recovered. >> you know, alwaysly be, uh, you know, we always talk about crisis in the about the nhs in crisis in the winter , but we always of winter, but we always kind of assume through assume once we're through christmas that through the christmas that we're through the worst and not through worst of it and not through the worst of it and not through the worst worst worst of it. the worst of it hits about mid february. and hits in about mid february. and that's going that's i think it's going to be quite the they're quite serious. the they're talking double talking about, you know, double figures . talking about, you know, double fileeah. . talking about, you know, double fileeah. the good news is >> yeah. but the good news is i'm a keto. so doesn't i'm on a keto. so this doesn't affect right. but you've >> you're all right. but you've got a lot of forehead exposed to the get yourself the wind there. oh get yourself a finally. uh so that was a hat. finally. uh so that was the story that that is it. we have done the final the front pages are completed after the break. are breaking the waves break. we are breaking the waves with terrorism , rape, and break. we are breaking the waves witigathering , rape, and break. we are breaking the waves witigathering storm , and break. we are breaking the waves witigathering storm of and the gathering storm of international war. maybe put the kettle on before watching that. we'll see you in couple

deterrence does work, and the reason i have confidence in that is because of our albania program . program. >> now welcome back to headliners i'm simon evans. i'm still joined by josh howie and nicholas de santo. and we open

the first half with the sun . the first half with the sun. josh. rather unusually, they have news, i say, unusually, as in we don't normally address their content at all. uh, who have news that will offer a tiny counterbalance to the general drift of the last few months . drift of the last few months. >> indeed. well, well, actually, yeah, the sun has written an article. it's incredible. uh, islamist his ut—tahrir islamist group. his ut—tahrir will be banned in britain under terror laws . james cleverly terror laws. james cleverly announces. so there are an islamist extremist. extremist group. that was footage. some people might have seen it online of them at the, uh, pro—palestinian marches and they were basically going jihad, jihad . and then that's when the jihad. and then that's when the met police put out a statement saying, no, no jihad got saying, no, no, no jihad got a bunch of meanings. it means struggle. even though banner behind him said muslim armies unite or whatever. so now this is sort of this is james cleverly trying to stir up pathetically in my to my mind, uh, or throw a bone to the

people who actually like this country and have been kind of shocked by some things shocked by some of the things that they've seen the last that they've seen over the last few months of people marching. and, of course they and, uh, look, of course they should be banned. they, they're an semitic, uh, hate group . an anti semitic, uh, hate group. they're jihadists. they are not, uh, fans of the west and but, but uh, it's like too little, too late. and the main thing about it is of course, is you can make something into a law and would prescribe they and it would prescribe they would it. that means would prescribe it. that means that who support would prescribe it. that means thait who support would prescribe it. that means thait , who support would prescribe it. that means thait , it who support would prescribe it. that means thait , it would 10 support would prescribe it. that means thait , it would like, support would prescribe it. that means thait , it would like, couldeport would prescribe it. that means thait , it would like, could go ort for it, it would like, could go to 14 years and to jail for 14 years and whatnot. are the police , are whatnot. but are the police, are the police specifically going to take that's what take any action? and that's what we saw this insane clip we saw. we saw this insane clip on the weekend about the guy calling, for genocide or calling, uh, for genocide or whatever, saying normalised calling, uh, for genocide or whatever, snormalisedalised calling, uh, for genocide or whatever, snormalised massacres . massacres, normalised massacres. and again, they go, oh yeah, we're going to have a word with him. and even they speak to we're going to have a word with himtheyi even they speak to we're going to have a word with himtheyi even they:hey speak to we're going to have a word with himtheyi even they said,peak to we're going to have a word with himtheyi even they said, oh,k to the they spoke, they said, oh, we to guy said, we spoken to the guy who said, jihad, we're jihad, jihad. and we said, we're going to we discourage any repeat chanting. no repeat of similar chanting. no arrest them. show people that you actually mean business here. >> so the home office here effectively has contradicted the

met's statement when they said, you know, jihad has different meanings. and to be fair , yes, meanings. and to be fair, yes, jihad different jihad does have different meanings. and originally it does meanings. and originally it does mean struggle in iran they have the agriculture the ministry of agriculture jihad where struggle jihad where they struggle against the inclement desert soil , you know, to do soil, you know, to do agriculture. but of course , you agriculture. but of course, you should have put two and two together see that of together and see that kind of jihad was another kind of jihad , jihad was another kind of jihad, as we know. and that's why the home office has, albeit a bit late, towards this late, moved towards banning this group . group. >> my perhaps slightly naive concern is also that it is quite easy for these things, very much like a coronavirus to mutate ever so slightly change their name, organisation and same name, same organisation and same aims, uh , you know, same aims, same, uh, you know, same adherence, same , uh, venues, uh, adherence, same, uh, venues, uh, to the police's untrained eye, probably very similar flags and banners and so on. i don't know, i don't know how much. i mean, i take your point. absolutely. obviously it has to have teeth and even with the best of and even even with the best of intention, about intention, you're talking about an enormous i mean, you know, without reverting to the obvious

cliches, but it sort of judean people's front stuff some people's front stuff to some extent, know, extent, isn't it? you know, they're each they're probably more at each other's, independent. they're probably more at each oth well, independent. they're probably more at each othwell, mean, independent. they're probably more at each othwell, mean, muslimsdent. they're probably more at each oth well, mean, muslims have >> well, i mean, muslims have killed more than anybody killed more muslims than anybody else. the reality else. that's that is the reality of it. >> sooner or later they're going to have to make islam illegal. but until they bite bullet, but until they bite that bullet, nicholas to take a degree nicholas going to take a degree of control for this, not to of self control for this, not to descend two minutes. hate of self control for this, not to des�*daily two minutes. hate of self control for this, not to des�*daily mailwo minutes. hate of self control for this, not to des�*daily mail .o minutes. hate of self control for this, not to des�*daily mail. i minutes. hate of self control for this, not to des�*daily mail . i havetes. hate of self control for this, not to des�*daily mail . i have news ate of self control for this, not to des�*daily mail . i have news from the daily mail. i have news from rochdale right, right. >> rochdale grooming gangs are still girls whistle still preying on girls whistle blower warns 96 men pose risk to children as damning report reveals. police left victims at the mercy of pimps and abusers who impregnated and threatened them with guns, so this is a big story. obviously it's a sad story. obviously it's a sad story of our times that keeps coming back. rather an old, uh , coming back. rather an old, uh, telford oldham. yeah you name it. it'sjust telford oldham. yeah you name it. it's just been going on for, for, for over a decade. and again, another damning report this time, uh , uh, implicating, this time, uh, uh, implicating, um , rochdale council and uh, um, rochdale council and uh, manchester, uh, greater

manchester, uh, greater manchester police who have apologised because these girls , apologised because these girls, um, a huge number of them were let for down so many years and they're still being junk and still going and that's, that's, that's that's the irony of it. the whistle blower . that's that's the irony of it. the whistle blower. um, we have two, let's say, heroes of the story. that's the only positive element of this story. these two, uh, ladies who maybe are due for some sort of recognition because nobody believed them at that time. and they bravely stood , uh, rang the alarm bells. >> one of them quit their job in the police force to exactly expose this. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> and one woman, uh, aspect of it is always the reporting as well. and i know a lot of people point draw attention to this on the bbc, but it's happening here in the daily mail as well. they always say gangs of mainly asian men. seems men. well, that seems an unnecessary to unnecessary if you're going to identify the identify with the, uh, the organising principle, the connecting trope of these men, they're asian . that's they're not asian. that's a that's vast continent. they're that's a vast continent. they're not they're korean, that's a vast continent. they're not they're they're korean, that's a vast continent. they're not they're not ey're korean, that's a vast continent. they're not they're not even korean, that's a vast continent. they're not they're not even tamil. aan, that's a vast continent. they're not they're not even tamil. they and they're not even tamil. they are overwhelmingly pakistani and

afghan people. and from a particular region of pakistan, they're from the north west frontier. they're from they're not from karachi , they're not not from karachi, they're not from and they will not from lahore. and they will not do say men and do this. they say asian men and that's i don't know whether that's i don't know whether that's attempt of that's an attempt to kind of diffuse i mean, could diffuse the i mean, that could that of that could create a lot of problems other men who problems for other asian men who are of this community are not part of this community or what got or sensitivity is what we got into mess in the first place. >> exactly. it's a cultural issue that they're trying to pass well, pass off as a racial. well, racists say it's a racial racists will say it's a racial issue, but it's not. it's a cultural issue, as you say. it's from a very specific part of pakistan, predominantly. yeah and, uh, their cultural attitudes towards women . and attitudes towards women. and rape and all this and this needs to be addressed. yes you know, we can't have this cultural relativise, um, where it's just like, well, there are different culture and we have to who are white because women who are white because women who are white or girls were white white or girls who were white were seen as game . were seen as the, as fair game. and want to say children , and i just want to say children, they're children. they were children, you know. >> of course. yeah minors obviously. story. >> of course. yeah minors

obvi of ;ly. story. >> of course. yeah minors obvi of course, story. >> of course. yeah minors obvi of course, the story. >> of course. yeah minors obvi of course, the deplorable and of course, the deplorable performance of the police forces , some of the retired ones refuse to even, uh, cooperate with the inquiry. but another telling or , uh, disconcerting telling or, uh, disconcerting element is that the community of the pakistani population didn't put forward , uh uh, step forward put forward, uh uh, step forward and didn't basically , uh, tell and didn't basically, uh, tell on these members of their own community. and that is something thatis community. and that is something that is not talked about. >> yeah, absolutely. now the wider international picture now, josh grant shapps is in the times telling us that we now live in the pre—war era, which, to be honest, uh, in my imagination at least, would suggest we should all be rather better dressed than we are. >> oh, really? okay. well, i like this stuff. i've never really heard the pre—war. it's like phrase . it's like, like a new phrase. it's like, uh, don't want you know, you uh, you don't want you know, you don't want a war too quickly. if you've got watch uh, so . you've got to watch out. uh, so. so, uh. yeah, the good times are over terms of you know, over in terms of you know, coming off the back of the berlin wall falling down, and we sort of kind of saw this idyllic

peace yes. peace peace dividend. yes. the peace dividend, it, dividend, as he calls it, because then countries got to spend their , um, on spend less on their, um, on their forces. uh armed forces. and that money was put into other, uh, other parts of the state anyway, put into indie. >> indie. >> indie. >> yeah, yeah. so uh, he's this is him giving a speech and he's basically talking how nato allies need to , um, put more, allies need to, um, put more, you know, put their 2% in of their of their gdp . and and, uh, their of their gdp. and and, uh, part of this is yemen, but it's also going to spread and you've got different flashpoint got these different flashpoint across the world, china, russia, russia. uh, and um, and then obviously the middle east as well. >> el!- e'- e it's the end >> and it's the end of the unipolar , uh, trimester. i don't unipolar, uh, trimester. i don't know, whatever you would like to. gloria of unipolar , of to. gloria of unipolar, of america's singular as a superpower. they are still overwhelmingly the largest military power in the world. >> but they can be challenged . >> but they can be challenged. >> but they can be challenged. >> but they can be challenged. >> but there is a coalition building around them, isn't there? what was originally there? and what was originally a sort economic coalition known sort of economic coalition known as the brics, for instance, the

brazil , russia, as the brics, for instance, the brazil, russia, india , uh, china brazil, russia, india, uh, china and some say south africa coalition now is beginning to look as if it is coordinating its interests. so to be fair, you know, war has always been largely an expression of economic self—interest. >> but we have more malign elements like iran and north korea , actively cooperating korea, actively cooperating military only because iran provides the russians with drones and north korea provides them with allegedly missiles that they are using in in ukraine. and on this night, as donald trump gears up for a second terme, is worth reminding that he repeatedly warned european nato members of, you know, say saying you need to ratchet up your military spending. and he was laughed at. he was he told the germans, you know, you are mad for shutting down nuclear power down your your nuclear power plants. depending on russian oil and gas. and pay for your and gas. and we pay for your protection. and he was you know, one of the iconic photographs of european complacency . wasn't it, european complacency. wasn't it, of the when he told them they

were too dependent on russian energy sources. >> and we've also got a, a foreign secretary now who presides id when he was prime minister over the vote, minister over the 2013 vote, which would have seen missile strikes, uh , on assad because of strikes, uh, on assad because of the chemical attacks. i think personally, the personally, that was one of the most shameful incidents of non—action at that could have changed, because if we had ed miliband well, all of them. yeah. but cameron , i believe, yeah. but cameron, i believe, you know, his desire to be liked at the time and, uh, and also the toxicity of tony blair and the toxicity of tony blair and the war in iraq. but if he'd been a braver things would be different. america might have committed also , uh, assad that committed also, uh, assad that might seen meaningful might have seen meaningful change within that region. now you've there you've got iran in there properly bulking up. assad with russia as well. it's yeah, it's certainly a view that, uh, a lack of american intervention has got the middle east to where it is now, continuing the everything everywhere all at once theme. >> nicholas, seems the mail >> nicholas, it seems the mail have intel on russia's plans for the century. >> right. quite >> that's right. quite a striking is striking story. germany is preparing for putin attack

against nato in 2025. leaked secret plans reveal step by step how russia will escalate conflict to all out war in 18 months. so these these are documents which have leaked from the german defence ministry to the german defence ministry to the german defence ministry to the german tabloid bild that daily mail is reporting on. essentially, the idea , although essentially, the idea, although the german defence minister has downplayed it, said, you know, this is an unlikely scenario, but the idea is that as the west waves over ukraine, because of the fatigue and bad economies and biden might lose and all that, russians are going to score victories by june this yearin score victories by june this year in ukraine and then try to step by step . step by step. >> so what is the all out war thatis >> so what is the all out war that is within ukraine, though he means no, they're going to go actually, they are going to attack actually, they are going to attiright. the eastern flank >> right. and the eastern flank of nato, according to this scenario. yeah. uh they are going to so this is leaked documents which built claims it got from the german defence minister. >> but as the german defence minister confirm this or denied it confirmed it.

>> but they haven't they have just know, we it is just said, you know, we it is our treat all, to our job to treat all, to entertain all. it's a what if it's a war scenario and that's it. >> so there's no direct evidence. a what if. so evidence. it's a what if. so they're they're prepared. i wouldn't be surprised if the german actually german military had actually leaked to the press leaked it to the press themselves, course , themselves, because of course, what they want what do they want? they want bigger , it's not bigger budgets now, it's not that don't deserve bigger that they don't deserve bigger budgets. it's not that there isn't russia , isn't a threat there by russia, but it's sort incentive. but it's sort of incentive. >> the german defence? >> um, yeah. >> um, yeah. >> would agree. that's it >> so i would agree. that's it for two. all cheerful stuff for part two. all cheerful stuff coming up . lineker's called coming up. lineker's line called climate catastrophes , optimism, climate catastrophes, optimism, sibling counts . some good news. sibling counts. some good news. could it be 2.4 after all? we'll see you a couple

delivered for that radical reform that they voted for in 2019. and they also certainly voted for in 2016. >> and welcome back to headliners so nicholas the eye news now one hesitates to reach for footballing metaphors, but gary lineker has surely crossed the line. >> he surely has. the line. >> he surely has . and not for >> he surely has. and not for the first time has he. lineker's

delete israel tweet could compromise bbc euro's coverage inside leaders say so gary lineker has done it in italy, we say somebody has lost another opportunity to remain silent and that's that. say that in italian , please. uh, a person on occasion , perez, perez , muto occasion, perez, perez, muto that wasn't quite as fluent as i expected . you had to translate expected. you had to translate it because i haven't said that for a while , but yeah, he never for a while, but yeah, he never gary lineker never sees an opportunity to be quiet and takes it . um, there was this takes it. um, there was this tweet by some pro—palestine campaign group asking for israel to be banned from all sporting tournaments, and gary lineker retweeted that. yeah. and then although he has deleted that , of although he has deleted that, of course there is a bit of an uproar because, uh , not least uproar because, uh, not least because he's going to be the front face of the bbc coverage of euro 2024. and israel, for the first time in history, has actually a path towards joining

the main stage for the first time. they are playing in the play time. they are playing in the play offs in march. >> it's quite interesting this to previously , to me because previously, although i found lineker tiresome , i understood that his tiresome, i understood that his politics were of a fairly recognisable ipp, you know, pro—european , pro—refugee kind pro—european, pro—refugee kind of handwringing liberal left. but it's been quite extraordinary how partisan his his views have been since october the 7th. he literally failed to make any comment at all on that. he tweeted about football that often. yeah. something quite weird as something really quite weird as well. like are back on top something really quite weird as wethe.ike are back on top something really quite weird as wethe league. are back on top something really quite weird as wethe league. i are back on top something really quite weird as wethe league. i meanick on top something really quite weird as wethe league. i mean it: on top something really quite weird as wethe league. i mean it was top of the league. i mean it was like really eared. and like really cloth eared. and since i mean, he's just since then i mean, he's just done very to say. yeah, done very little to say. yeah, yeah correct that you know that. totally. >> and before then there was him comparing the immigration stuff to like hitler, germany . yeah. to like hitler, germany. yeah. yeah. you know, which diminishes what happened there. yeah. you know, which diminishes whtsoiappened there. yeah. you know, which diminishes whtso here ned there. yeah. you know, which diminishes whtso here we there. yeah. you know, which diminishes whtso here we have. yeah. you know, which diminishes whtso here we have an actual >> so here we have an actual massacre of actual jews . like what? >> hitler doesn't mention anything. lied. anything. then he lied. by the way, want say he lied way, i just want to say he lied on said did on twitter and said i did say something about no, you didn't know. and now here he is here.

and bds been know. and now here he is here. and illegal bds been know. and now here he is here. and illegal germany been know. and now here he is here. and illegal germany because know. and now here he is here. ancsuchegal germany because know. and now here he is here. anc such ega anti—semitic because it's such an anti—semitic movement . so the fact that he's movement. so the fact that he's supporting it and now he's deleted it. and by the way, the bbc cowards and liars bbc have been cowards and liars and they said, we retweet it and they said, oh, we retweet it because just was because he just thought it was football news. and thing is, football news. and the thing is, it breaks own rules. and it breaks their own rules. and that of course, you can that look, of course, you can have opinions and have political opinions and i disagree with fundamentally disagree with him fundamentally about some stuff. but and i agree other by agree with other things by the way. same time it way. but at the same time it says very clearly where says here very clearly where expressions overlap into the individual's own work. well, that's what's happened here. >> yeah. and so he deserves to be dealt with accordingly. >> broken the rules . >> we've broken the rules. >> we've broken the rules. >> we've broken the rules. >> we should have adam bolton on to the to discuss whether or not the bbc lose their licence . bbc should lose their licence. but could squeeze in but yes, if i could squeeze in another we say another italian proverb, we say the law is in deposited for the france and applied to the enemies. >> very good. so when i was at the bbc, much less than this, and i would have had a disciplinary for jeopardising the impartiality, but as long as they reflect the echo chamber and the diktat or the beliefs of the majority of the bbc staff,

nothing happens to them as the friend enemy distinction . friend enemy distinction. >> josh the telegraph now and the key to maximising climate catastrophe is not to overdo it. >> yes, that's what it seems . >> yes, that's what it seems. the scientists fighting back against the climate doomers. this is really an advertisement for a new book, uh, by hannah ritchie . and she's got a book ritchie. and she's got a book called not the end of the world. so so what we're seeing because of the overwhelming sort of, uh, focus on the climate change. and there is climate change, and it is real. uh, it's pushed out some people, certainly younger people , into this kind of doom people, into this kind of doom scenario where they feel like, because it's the focus is like, if it gets to 1.5 degrees, that's the ceiling, and then it and then it is going to be now everyone's like, well, not everyone, but a lot of people are going die now are like, we're going to die now andifs are like, we're going to die now and it's over. kind of nihilism. yeah. it too far yeah. so they pushed it too far in way. and she's trying to in that way. and she's trying to pull look, there pull back and say, look, there is maybe could get pull back and say, look, there is to maybe could get pull back and say, look, there

isto 1.7 maybe could get pull back and say, look, there isto 1.7 1.8.1aybe could get pull back and say, look, there isto 1.7 1.8.1ayb this could get it to 1.7 or 1.8. but this constant but this is what scientists this what scientists do or this is what any of specialist group any sort of specialist group does. they to they the does. they want to they the those nihilist scenarios gain the most publicity. >> well, i remember , nicholas, >> well, i remember, nicholas, when you know you have school , when you know you have school, uh, who of go if, uh, teachers who kind of go if, unless i'm a begins revise unless i'm a begins to revise immediately. is absolutely immediately. there is absolutely no hope of you know, and no hope of him, you know, and you goes by and you another weekend goes by and you another weekend goes by and you well, that's it. there's you go, well, that's it. there's no now. no hope for me now. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> might as well >> so you might as well just enjoy. if it's kids, this >> i mean, if it's kids, this sort attitude certainly i do sort of attitude certainly i do think potential for think there is the potential for that. also so i that. but there is also so i think they need to recognise think the they need to recognise that it's not simply a pr battle . it's also a question of honesty. a question . it's also a question of horof ty. a question . it's also a question of horof ty. they a question . it's also a question of horof ty. they actually stion . it's also a question of horof ty. they actually telling of, of are they actually telling us the truth have they us the truth or have they actually exaggerating actually been exaggerating all this was teenager this ever since i was a teenager , were being told that the , we were being told that the polar was going to melt in polar cap was going to melt in five so, and or five months or so, and or we were going to out of oil in it. >> will be too it. by 2012. >> will be too late by 2012. >> will be too late by 2012. >> then 2016. yeah. anyway, nicholas sibling research in the guardian now just as well. this one didn't fall to josh. perhaps >> authority. >> yeah, he's the authority. probably but i had as probably but i had siblings as well . teenagers?

well. teenagers? >> no, has lots of children >> no, he has lots of children though this. might a though. this. this might be a depressing news for a father of lots children. depressing news for a father of lotsi children. depressing news for a father of lotsi chili ren. depressing news for a father of lotsi chili was a bit sad >> i know i was a bit sad reading this. >> go on teenagers with more siblings worse mental siblings have worse mental health. study suggests , so they health. study suggests, so they have studied children in the us and in america . this is an ohio and in america. this is an ohio state university . yeah. state university. yeah. research. interesting well, to some two countries. >> sorry. you said china, china, the us. yes >> yeah. um, well, um, it makes sense in terms of the so—called pie theory or parental resources. when you have the more children you have, the more than maybe josh can enlighten us on that . uh, it says also, if on that. uh, it says also, if the siblings, especially teenagers, they are closely spaced, there's more conflict. >> so they want precisely the same sort of thing at the same time, as the mother is unable to find it in herself. >> i was just telling him, i have daughters, four years have two daughters, four years spaced apart almost, and they are still always at each other's throats. there's no sibling rivalry and sibling conflict and friction is definitely a real

thing. >> i'm an only child and i was always kind of, uh, bestowed mercy, not sympathy. you know, people are, you know, and i would look around me and i couldn't see any friends with lots brothers sisters lots of brothers and sisters that felt for. there that i felt sorry for. but there is contrary that says is a contrary theory that says it up for the real it toughens you up for the real world. >> and makes you better >> yes. and it makes you better at there's at negotiation. yeah. there's that famous documentary of the triplets who were at triplets who were separated at birth. they all birth. yes. and then they all got they kind got back together and they kind of and they of lived together and they couldn't on with each other couldn't get on with each other because hadn't through because they hadn't gone through this in life. this very pivotal time in life. so negotiate this very pivotal time in life. so actually negotiate this very pivotal time in life. so actually tragic negotiate this very pivotal time in life. so actually tragic effect.tiate and actually to tragic effect. one and so , one committed suicide. and so, yes, i'm sure that that might be true. we're talking true. and we're talking about teenage well. and i'm teenage years as well. and i'm sure a tough sure that's just a tough time. anyway uh, but also they do say here that there are upsides. and for overall family. yeah for the overall family. yeah there is good. there are positive mental impacts as well. >> i think also , you know, a lot >> i think also, you know, a lot of these things you talk about causation and correlation. you know families now know what kind of families now do children . is it know what kind of families now d

take advantage of family planning because the truth is, families smaller now families are much smaller now than were historically than they were historically speaking. so if there are significant it may be significant outliers, it may be for some particular reason. >> just can't say no, no, >> i just can't say no, no, that's all it is. i'm i'm a wimp. i'm like, yeah, all right, all right, lucky you. wimp. i'm like, yeah, all right, all anyway, lucky you. wimp. i'm like, yeah, all right, all anyway, always you. wimp. i'm like, yeah, all right, all anyway, always used to envy wimp. i'm like, yeah, all right, all waltons always used to envy wimp. i'm like, yeah, all right, all waltons , always used to envy wimp. i'm like, yeah, all right, all waltons , though. rsed to envy the waltons, though. my goodness. those in goodness. but those were in the days and days before phones and televisions. of televisions. in any kind of a, you needed an entire you know, you needed an entire family farming to family to do the farming and to mend especially mend the cartwheel, especially in lockdowns. in times of lockdowns. >> some siblings >> you need some siblings to have human contact, but have some human contact, but they never noticed the they never even noticed the waltons, think. waltons, i don't think. >> josh bad know >> anyway, josh bad mad know which way round is it? mad, bad and dangerous to know. that's my summary of the golden age of boxset tv. >> yeah, this is a very sad story. i'm a big. i'm also the. as well as being on here. i'm the tv reviewer for the jewish chronicle . oh, uh, this is my chronicle. oh, uh, this is my other passion . okay. and, other great passion. okay. and, uh, creator david chase uh, sopranos creator david chase says streaming giants want dumbed down shows for the stockholders . he says the golden stockholders. he says the golden age of is after 25 age of tv is over after 25 years. if that's true, and that is evidence from is anecdotal evidence from various other creators of tv

shows. uh, because people like netflix, they're just expecting people now to just watch be on their phone as well as watching thing and the stuff. what made this these great tv shows in terms of mad men breaking bad, the wire, sopranos , uh, is that the wire, sopranos, uh, is that you needed to focus . it needed you needed to focus. it needed 100% of your attention, if not more so with something like the wire, where had rewatch wire, where you had to rewatch bits the subtitles bits and turn on the subtitles until it all out. until you figured it all out. and saying nowadays , uh, and he's saying nowadays, uh, that people the people who've got money sort got the money are sort of saying, no, we it saying, no, no, we make it simpler, simpler , which simpler, make it simpler, which is very sad news because there was a great book. uh, everything bad which was bad is good for you, which was all that all about arguing that mainstream media actually makes you intelligent. idea mainstream media actually makes yothat intelligent. idea mainstream media actually makes yothat intelliggames idea mainstream media actually makes yothat intelliggames andza is that computer games and various other things make you work , but the idea that we work, but the idea was that we were smarter at the same were getting smarter at the same time as tv shows and whatnot were more. yeah uh, were getting more. yeah uh, advanced. you think this is advanced. do you think this is a pendulum swing kind of effect ? pendulum swing kind of effect? >> that's it >> nicholas? that's what it sounds these things sounds like to me. these things reach they reach an reach a certain. they reach an apogee, and then they they swing back i certainly hope so.

>> well, i certainly hope so. but it if the pendulum is but if it if the pendulum is going years, as chase going to take 25 years, as chase says , it's going a bit of says, it's going to be a bit of a problem. but most great artistic is a of artistic movements is a bit of a, um, a hobby horse of mine. >> the, you know, most >> this the, you know, most great artistic movements last somewhere between 25 and 40 years. it does seem to be the case. music, you know, case. rock music, you know, which great its which had its great days, its great flowering roughly between which had its great days, its great fl90, ring roughly between which had its great days, its great fl90, ring know,y between which had its great days, its great fl90, ring know, probablyn 55 and 90, you know, probably ended grunge. there ended with grunge. and there were after were a reheating things after that, very much that, but nothing very much interesting and new comes along after even after that. even the renaissance, which of renaissance, which we think of as you know , one and a as taking, you know, one and a half in reality, it half centuries in reality, it was about 40 or years, you was about 40 or 50 years, you know, then people were just know, and then people were just kind michael angelo know, and then people were just kindda michael angelo know, and then people were just kindda vinci. michael angelo know, and then people were just kin�*well,inci. michael angelo know, and then people were just kin�*well, inci. had ichael angelo know, and then people were just kin�*well,inci. had successionelo know, and then people were just kin�*well,inci. had succession .o >> well, you had succession. that's recent show. that's a very recent tv show. so it is possible. and i just watched the episode watched the first episode of true detective, the new series. it's jodie foster, true detective, the new series. it's one jodie foster, true detective, the new series. it's one is�*die foster, true detective, the new series. it's one is good. ster, the new one is good. >> is it? >> is it? >> it's brilliant. >> it's brilliant. >> just the first. >> i've just seen the first. that was fantastic. yeah. series two was okay, two and series three was okay, but four, it's badass. but series four, it's badass. okay, something okay, well, that's something good to know then. nicholas, the daily uh. oh it's daily mail now and, uh. oh it's disappeared. are okay. maybe that'll in the second in that'll appear in the second in the final part . that's part the final part. that's part three. bagged and tagged in part

four. bruises heal faster as you approach the speed of light and other quackery. we'll see you in

and welcome back to headliners for the final section in which we have a bit of fun. nicholas. the daily mail now we've had aphrodisiacs, we've had afrobeat. we've even had aphrodite's child. why not afro chemistry? >> why not afro chemistry? i'll tell you why . right? right tell you why. right? right university unveils afro chemistry class that will explore the intersection of racial justice and chemistry. dubbing it the study of black life matter. so i hate everything about this story . you everything about this story. you know, this is why you should pay for your tuition fees. it's not fair to tax the bus driver or the carpenter because you want to study student debt for this , to study student debt for this, you know, afro chemistry. uh now from from maths is racist. we've

come to chemistry is racist. so let's study chemistry through a contemporary african american lens. this private university in houston, texas , uh, purports houston, texas, uh, purports the, uh, graduate who is going to be teaching this class, by the way, um, quite fittingly, uh, has been hired as part of the dei diversity, equity and inclusion department. and she's going to use her unique experience to teach chemistry. but from an african american lens. >> and the only sorry . lens. >> and the only sorry. come on. >> and the only sorry. come on. >> yes, the key element of this whole article is this bit, which i love. it says the class does not give any credits for a chemistry major, but does count towards an african and african american studies major. so zero science, just whingeing ? yes, complaining. >> so i suppose to give it the absolute steel man kind of approach to try and see it in its best possible light without actually having obviously attended course. it is

attended a course. perhaps it is an look at, uh, the an attempt to look at, uh, the history and culture of science. uh laboratory work, teaching. and so on, uh, to see how how it has, uh , possibly followed has, uh, possibly followed a european tragic theory in a way that we wouldn't as european peoples be, you know, aware of. >> yeah, there's an argument, i think, for that this sort of euro centric, uh, focus , euro centric, uh, focus, previous eurocentric, you know, in science is chemistry, i think is much more like much more mathematical. yeah . uh, in the mathematical. yeah. uh, in the and it says something here like, uh, what does justice look like in it looks in chemistry? well, it looks like non justice in chemistry. like the chemistry is chemistry. >> it's something science. >> it's something like science. >> it's something like science. >> say that we're >> yeah. well you say that we're actually another study from actually got another study from harvard got the harvard which they got in the independent. harvard which they got in the ind processes. >> absolutely. it's not suggestion . and they seem to

suggestion. and they seem to have evidenced that. how have evidenced it in that. how do you, uh, are you do you, uh, how are you understand impacts how understand time impacts how quickly wounds heal. harvard study they give people study finds they give people mini . cupping or mini bruises using. cupping or whatever. they sort of like. >> it's like a love bite, isn't it? yeah, exactly. >> and then they left them for an hour. and some people for half an hour. some people, they said , oh, this is an hour. so said, oh, this is an hour. so they and some people, they said it was 15 minutes and some fast clock. i guess. so, yeah, probably like and they probably like that. and they proved that people healed the more thought had more time they thought had passed. don't passed. yeah. so. well, i don't think is weird because we think it is weird because we know that like know that things like the placebo there placebo effect are real. there are so this are are evidence. and so this idea feel like, it idea that we feel like, oh, it would uh, quicker, better, would heal, uh, quicker, better, um, you know, perception um, you know, our perception of it, the it, it makes total sense. the question you study this? >> should study this in this? >> chemistry.| study this in this? >> chemistry. nicholasis in this? >> chemistry. nicholas we've afro chemistry. nicholas we've got to whip through these. but nhs trialling headsets to treat depression you sort depression by giving you a sort of electrical something short of a by sound of it. a lobotomy by the sound of it. >> not. nhs trials >> but hopefully not. nhs trials £400 headset to treat depression as private sales jumped by 700.

so nowadays . it has always been so nowadays. it has always been this debate whether depression can be cured by chemicals, by medicine or pharmaceuticals or not. uh, this is a good story for people who don't want to go down that route. they are testing this. um, uh, the electric £400, uh, headset , uh, electric £400, uh, headset, uh, from a swedish firm . at the nhs. from a swedish firm. at the nhs. the firm very much hopes that it will get gets the green light ultimately . but people curious ultimately. but people curious in the meantime , some of them in the meantime, some of them who have this for you can buy it. >> i've it.- >> i've seen. it.— >> i've seen. i know it. >> i've seen. i know somebody who's tried it. you can get them on ebay. they look hilarious. like a like a kind of frankenstein kit that you've knocked up in the shed. but apparently stimulation, knocked up in the shed. but appalike,/ stimulation, knocked up in the shed. but appalike, low stimulation, knocked up in the shed. but appalike, low level ulation, knocked up in the shed. but appalike, low level electro knocked up in the shed. but appalikithatrv level electro knocked up in the shed. but appalikithat you1el electro knocked up in the shed. but appalikithat you putelectro knocked up in the shed. but appalikithat you put on tro knocked up in the shed. but appalikithat you put on your forehead. >> and stimulate >> and these stimulate those areas brain uh, areas of your brain which, uh, presumably enough presumably are not active enough in well, it in case of depression. well, it makes perfect sense. >> most antidepressants that we've of side we've had have been sort of side effects for effects of drugs intended for other things anyway. i mean, it's still very much a mystery, isn't it? >> i spent £400, i'd be >> if i spent £400, i'd be pretty depressed. >> i would produced
