that people living with revealed that people living with hiv as a result of the infected blood scandal could receive more than £2 million in compensation. it comes as interim compensation payments of £210,000 will be given to infected blood victims for the most urgent cases, while the final scheme becomes operational. since the 1970s, 30,000 people were infected with hiv and hepatitis through contaminated blood products and transfusions . around 3000 have transfusions. around 3000 have since died , and a conservative since died, and a conservative mp has spoken to gb news about his battle with sepsis, admitting he's extremely lucky to be alive. craig mckinley is returning to parliament for the first time tomorrow after suffering a life threatening episode of sepsis in september, which led to the amputation of his hands and feet. the mp for south thanet has spoken out about his road to recovery and wants to be known as the first bionic mp . bionic mp. >> everything was starting to

shut down, it was quite serious and my wife was told that they'd very rarely see people who have this amount of illness in the hospital and perhaps prepare for the worst, maybe they could have saved a bit of a foot. but my surgeon said , you are better off surgeon said, you are better off having them off because you can have prosthetics and you'll walk far better than having a partial foot. i'm hoping people might give me the benefit of the doubt and say, that man's been a fighter for himself. he's damn well going to fight for me. i'm going to give him my support. the bourbonic mp. bionic mp is what i want to be. >> and for the latest stories, sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. com slash alerts. now it's time for headliners . headliners. >> thank you. sofia. hello and welcome to headliners. your run through the next day's

newspapers with three comedians. i'm leo kearse and tonight i'm joined by steve and alan from the mash report and louis shaffer, whose mash report would you say the carbohydrates in mashed potato will kill you.7 how mashed potato will kill you? how are you both doing ? are you both doing? >> i appreciate the blast from the past as well. that's it was a long while ago. i had that career. yeah, those were the i had hair. yeah but it was something. >> at least you've been on the tv. i've got a focus. >> you're on it now. >> tv right at this instant. >> tv right at this instant. >> lewis, what more do you want? i want to be on. >> i want to be on the bbc. >> i want to be on the bbc. >> well, good luck with that. yeah. hurry up. well, it still exists anyway. let's have a quick look at wednesday's front pages. the daily mail leads with nightmare at 37,000ft. the telegraph has. i've lost my hands and feet to sepsis, says mp. the guardian leads with alarm over big increase in under 40s with diabetes. the times has make fewer arrests to help jails. police told the i has b'rit charged with spying for china found dead in maidenhead

park and the daily star has rats . an apology and those were your headunes. . an apology and those were your headlines . and let's have a headlines. and let's have a closer look at those front pages, starting with the daily mail. steve, they've got nightmare at 37,000ft. >> this is a tragic story. i'm sure many people have seen the pictures or the video of the plane that suddenly drops because of turbulence. this is a british grandfather who died on the storm lashed passenger jet. the storm lashed passengerjet. it says here and it's thought that he had a heart attack, although other people on there also received the trauma of being hit by the plane as they fly up to see some of the injuries as well. this was the singapore airlines who was making its way out of heathrow. and it just it just shows how frail we humans are and we put ourselves in these situations. i suppose flying is it's not what we were evolved for, is it? so it seems like we are tiny in comparison. a little bit of turbulence comes along and it can just do this to us. it also makes me realise the next time

i'm on a plane and they say, keep your seatbelt on during sitting down and you think, yeah right, whatever. i think i've learnt a lesson from this. i think i'm going to keep the belt on. yeah, absolutely. >> i mean, the turbulence must have come on quite quickly, louis, because i mean, i saw a video from it and, you know, suddenly everything just hits the ceiling, drinks, you know, somebody's walking down the down the aisle. yeah. >> what are they what are they supposed to say to people? you know, we're not going to have this happen. they can't say it because but it happens. and people like you say, it just shows how frail humans are. no, it just shows how amazing we are. we're putting aeroplanes in the sky that are flying 37,000ft. and this is this is news because it doesn't happen very often. i don't know what more do you want from these people, but it goes wrong. >> and it was a it was a boeing plane. of course, boeing have been under there's been a lot of scrutiny of boeing recently because they've had a lot of accidents. but i guess this can't be they can't be blamed on the plane. >> the door stayed on. if there's one take home message from this story, the doors were still attached when it landed. >> half of all planes that are flying are probably boeing planes, so give those guys a

break, okay? >> i also buy boeing . sometimes >> i also buy boeing. sometimes they're actually boeing. that's why it's called boeing because that's how they make planes. >> okay, moving on to the guardian lewis. what have they got in the front cover? >> has the guardian says alarm over big increase in under 40 with diabetes. this is like this is news that people have got that everybody's getting diabetes . what is diabetes. it's diabetes. what is diabetes. it's i didn't even i did i almost had you i got you calling this a non—story. >> this is i looked at this and thought, of course they're giving it to lewis. this is going to be right up your street. >> it is right up my street. and i know exactly, but they're saying it's caused by people eating bad food. what is bad food? fat fat is an essential. you need fat. >> i've not said that in here. they're blaming on sugar. >> look on the bottom. >> look on the bottom. >> yeah, sugar's got to get a people are people are becoming fat. >> people are much more. there's much more prevalence of obesity than there used to be. and that's causing that's driving diabetes . diabetes. >> no, that's not what they're saying. they're saying we adverts for cheapo unhealthy food. the foods that on our

shelves that are increasingly high in fat, salt and sugar. yeah. >> so stuff like salted caramel ice cream i mean you can hardly you're going to tell me that's healthy. >> i'm not going to eat it. but that does because i can't eat two because you'll eat too much of it. you can eat any of anything or you need fat. you don't necessarily need that much salt and you don't need any sugan salt and you don't need any sugar. we can produce our own sugan sugar. we can produce our own sugar, but it's not going to i, i'm i'm saying this. i'm saying this comes from the diabetes research uk . research uk. >> they're not attacking your steaks though. you can calm down that kind of fat. it's when they inject fatty things. inject sugarin inject fatty things. inject sugar in things. yeah. put some sugar in things. yeah. put some sugar on top, some salt on top and then go. there you go. >> no that's what they are doing. louis. >> you had you had diabetes or you were pre—diabetic. >> i was at 5.9 when in this country, 6.0 kwasi is you're basically basically diabetic . basically basically diabetic. >> and now i'm 5.8, right? no, i'm saying they are attacking meat because they're saying fat is no good. they're saying salt is no good. they're saying salt is no good. it's saying sugar is no good. >> added do not say added. >> added do not say added. >> read the thing right there.

yeah didn't you just yell at me before the show? maybe you could read some of the articles increasingly high in fat, salt and sugar. >> yeah. there's something to be fat in all of those three. it's not your steak. calm down. they let you. they let you eat your steak? >> no they're not. they're against eating steak because it's got high. >> i guess the sort of traditional diet advice that comes from our bigwigs and quangos has been , like lewis quangos has been, like lewis says, it's been to eat lots of carbohydrates , lots of carbohydrates, lots of vegetables, seed oils and eat a tiny amount of steak because it will give you diabetes. yeah, well , they will say that. well, they will say that. >> but that was the main story in the 80s, wasn't it, when everyone was like, eat less fat, to be less fat because it was a simpler system? we didn't understand how sugar works. but since the 2000, since atkins was a thing, remember those days we've known the roles of sugar and that they're bad as well? i'll admit at the moment, this is something you could. >> you were saying this, this is this. this is like saying this. >> i read the atkins book in the 2000. >> you know what you did, but the rest of the people still don't believe this thing. and even and even people like diabetes uk, which i would never trust for any information. but do you think also part of the

problem is that we've now got a permissive society that says, oh, fat is beautiful, you should be, you know, if you want to be fat, you'd be fat. >> you know, goblin mode. you know, maybe we need to bring back shame. at the moment, we're trying to stop fat shaming. and maybe it's the one thing keeping people from getting diabetes. >> the problem is, though, when shamed fat people feel upset, they go home and eat more . so they go home and eat more. so i think that's the problem. and i'm not saying that in a, you know, that's that's my response. if i have a bad gig on the way back, i will buy chocolate and i don't use my club card because i don't use my club card because i don't want it on my permanent record. >> so, yeah, well, i just don't think you can sugar coat the message to them because then delete it as well. >> i don't agree with you. no, i don't think that's what it is, what i think, what the problem, why people are fat today is because, we're eating bad food. >> yeah, too much sugar , too >> yeah, too much sugar, too much, too much, too much nonsense. >> we're eating too much food. okay, we're moving on. >> we've got the eye. steve. what have they got in the cover? >> b'rit charged with spying for china. found dead in maidenhead

park. it's amazing how two things can happen without any link between them. this is who would have thought this? so, six days after he appeared in court, we covered the story here. of the three people that we talked about who were accused of spying for china, this, matthew trickett, he stood out from the rest. he looked, different . and rest. he looked, different. and he was deep undercover. if this is a chinese spies put it this way. >> because you're saying he wasn't chinese. he wasn't chinese. he was a white guy from england. >> now he's a dead one. >> now he's a dead one. >> that's the takeaway from this story. >> yeah, but the people that say takeaway, it's not our audience for this story. the people who are watching this, steve, it's like 11:00 at night. try to keep things simple. >> so this guy is dead. it says of unknown causes. the cause might have been being a spy. >> just saying. yeah. >> just saying. yeah. >> i mean, it's we have seen before spies being killed. although he did tell two separate custody sergeants that he was. he would kill himself. so this this could just be a tragic suicide from a man who saw that, you know, this, the problems he was he was in is, you know, ending his career. >> the truth is . is that china? >> the truth is. is that china? i hate to say it because they love a lot of lovely people. and

i like their food, but they're they're britain's enemy. they're they're britain's enemy. they're the world's enemy. they want to be the number one country in the world. and the problem with china is, is that they're on the way down and nobody even knows it. and they've got a they've got a cult mentality with xi, the president there, jinping. and he's, he's he's on the way down. and this is what they do when they're on the way down. they like russia did this for years and spies and william, we've seen, you know, chinese secret service agents harassing people, openly harassing people evenin people, openly harassing people even in the centre of london and, you know, been implicated and, you know, been implicated and involved in assassinations in other countries. >> so it's not beyond the realms of possibility that this is the long arm of xi jinping. >> i would say that that's what this is, which is, i hate to say it. i know people are watching. i'm not that interested in this kind of stuff. >> okay, well, you're on the right show then. >> but no carbs. no the entire story. >> there's lots of stuff that's interesting , but. but chinese interesting, but. but chinese people killing chinese spies . people killing chinese spies. >> but it's in our. it's our land. this is exactly what happened with the novichok thing. the salisbury thing. it's shocking that it happens in the uk. >> yeah, and the uk can't

protect its borders not only from not only from, you know, people who want to come over in small boats, but also from any malicious , outside interference, malicious, outside interference, you know, any russian or chinese agents that want to come over and assassinate people on our, on our soil. >> it's. well, so what are we going to do about it? i mean, who what are we going to what what is britain going to do about it? britain needs to stand up and fight for itself. >> yeah, well, we've said said that before. >> anyway, let's finish with the daily star. lewis, what have they got on the cover? >> oh well good news. >> oh well good news. >> rats and apology. justice for rodents. this is this is the star, which is fantastic newspaper. i've been reading it more and more. it's, it's a 95 piece, so it's not that expensive, but it says basically after 676 years of taking the blame for the bubonic plague , blame for the bubonic plague, they're saying it isn't the rats. it's. what are these ? what rats. it's. what are these? what do they call humans for? humans? it's fleas on humans . it's fleas on humans. >> i don't think whatever it was, i a few years ago, they were blaming gerbils. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> so now they're they're blaming head lice. before that, they were blaming rats. i mean,

this is this has gone through more origin stories than the covid virus. >> i don't think they were blaming the rats back then, rebooting that this newspaper every single day . every single day. >> it says proud to live animals and my word. they mean it today. don't they? they're taking the rat side. yeah. that's quite the leap. but it's believable as well because whilst rats were around, we also weren't that much of a clean species at the time . i watch things like time. i watch things like britain. it's a bit of a tangent, but watch bridgerton, whatever. cleaning of teeth wasn't around, people wouldn't have snogged like that . yeah, have snogged like that. yeah, that's because we're not clean. unless you really go to town. we're not a clean animal. >> that's not true. i have i've got a feeling bridgerton isn't the most historically accurate , the most historically accurate, depiction of. >> and it is. >> and it is. >> it's supposed to be so that's wrong. and the truth is, is that people didn't brush their teeth back then. they didn't need to brush their teeth because they ate a very low carb diet. if you don't eat carbs, you don't eat the brush, your teeth, your teeth. i do not brush my teeth, okay? >> not a dentist does not brush his teeth. >> that's the front pages dealt with. but coming up, the bbc is in hot water over an obituary.

we've got racist bees. and europe finally decides to close its

welcome back to headliners. i'm leo kirsten . i'm still here with leo kirsten. i'm still here with steve n allen and louis schaefer . and we are hosting a night with the headliners live. it's stand up. it's not this show. and you can join us for this evening of stand up comedy with andrew doyle, simon evans, josh howie and me, leo kearse. for more information, scan the qr code on screen or visit gbnews.com. and now back to the show. we've got the guardian with news of compensation for victims of the infected blood scandal. i think they're still going to be some bad blood, though. steve. >> yeah, in fact, the blood victims could get compensation payments of over 2.5 million. terms and conditions apply. one of them is they've still got to be alive, which is part of why this is so bad. so we'll go through the details. i mean,

what they can't get is rid of the diseases. is the whole point about perspective. how much is this money worth? it seems like a big figure. this was announced the day after the damning report that blamed the nhs, and the government called them culpable. culpable is not quite covering it though, because culpable makes you think, oh, that mistake was their fault. yeah, but then where's the word that describes the cover up? the managing to kick this down the road, the not even wanting to have an inquiry and when you know what you've done shortens people's lives . waiting is the people's lives. waiting is the biggest crime because i mean, they're already thousands who've died. it won't be receiving money if you now if you die between now and the compensation being paid out, it will be left to your estate. oh, that'll cheer up. none of this makes up for it. and the. i think the impressive thing here is that itv one didn't have to do a drama about it. they actually finally got around to it. maybe there is some hope for this nation. payments of £210,000 will be made pretty soon to try and get the ball rolling on this, because of how long it'll take. follows up a £100,000. but there was a story in yesterday's papers which, you know, this not the job of this show about a guy

who received some, some blood, got hiv, passed it to his pregnant wife within a couple of years of that point, all three were dead. oh, my god. so 2.5 million gunshot wounds means no gunshot wounds. >> you know what, steve? you know, you the way you're sounding it, just you. we. this story is so deep. and what the way they're presenting it as if it's a done deal. the fact is, we don't know how. first of all, everybody knows that blood is bad. other people's blood is bad. other people's blood is bad. but the. but what these people have done is so much, well, no blood can save people's lives. >> my life. my life was saved by a blood transfusion. i can't remember, like nine pints or something. it was ridiculous because it was coming out. they had to keep pumping it back into me. yeah, but the you know, now or then that was in the 90s. they screened it and they made sure the infected blood inquiry, they were getting blood from america that they knew, you know, because in america you get paid for your blood. so you know, heroin addicts, people like that, sell their blood. but

obviously they're more likely to have diseases such as hepatitis, blood can say, listen, let me finish my point. >> while i, while i'm thinking of it now, blood can save people's lives . yeah, but at the people's lives. yeah, but at the same time, it's super dangerous to be doing all this. what? this report shows the unbelievable faith that people have in the nhs and in mainstream, in mainstream medicine. >> i don't think it's faith if you're a haemophiliac, it's not about faith, it's about needing. >> the fact is that the people who who needed help, they needed a blood transfusion. they were definitely sick people. okay. yeah, some of them died from this and i agree with you. >> but some of them, some of them just said, you know, haemophilia is not an instant death sentence . yeah. sometimes, death sentence. yeah. sometimes, you know, it was, the case that the diseases they got were far worse than the diseases they were being treated for. >> we don't know that . i mean, >> we don't know that. i mean, we do know. we do know that. we do know it. yeah. all right, look, can i just defend this? because this. i've gotten off on a really bad. this is the. this is my worst show i've ever done. >> you opened with blood is bad for you. >> is blood is bad for you. and

an emergency. it has to be done. yeah. it's not good. you know what it takes? i don't want your blood put into me. >> i regularly donate just because it makes me more pious. yeah and. >> and that's exactly right. but the truth is, is that there's a deep belief in, like, this little germ theory that hiv causes disease, that that hepatitis c is caused by one kind of virus. it's i don't i don't believe in any of it. and you know what? i'm not going to say that i'd have to read this. >> i have to cut short your conspiracy theorist rant there, louis. yeah, because we've got to do other stories cutting. >> mike. >> mike. >> we've got the telegraph now and has the internet criminal court gone walking, gone broke as britain joins the criticism. >> louis okay, this is a slightly better story . sunak slightly better story. sunak criticises ix, which is the international criminal court's deeply unhelpful effort to arrest netanyahu . and there and arrest netanyahu. and there and maybe you've heard what's happening in gaza. i don't know a lot of people maybe haven't, but there's arrest warrants have been instituted in gated onto netanyahu's, the prime minister of israel , netanyahu's, the prime minister of israel, and rishi sunak is against it. the guy who's doing

it is the prosecutor. he's a scottish dude. he's a muslim scottish dude. he's a muslim scottish dude. he's got a muslim name. i don't know whether he's muslim or anything, but the truth is, is that this is not it isn't helpful because i think british people have forgotten what a war is and a war is bad. it's really bad. what's happening? it's bad if you're a palestinian , you did nothing palestinian, you did nothing wrong and you're being pummelled by the israelis. it's bad . but by the israelis. it's bad. but what happened to the israelis and potentially happening is also bad. so this guy should mind his own business, his own. >> but i mean, this could be a watershed moment for the icc because, you know, britain's a signatory to the to the rome statute or something. it's called it's a signatory to the icc, basically. so if netanyahu did visit britain, which, you know, is likely to happen at some point and this, arrest warrant was out for, for netanyahu , britain would be duty netanyahu, britain would be duty bound to honour their agreement and arrest netanyahu, which we obviously wouldn't do, although it does link in with the front page of the times. >> you mentioned earlier where we're being told to make fewer arrests. if they could overlap those two stories and say, well,

just maybe not do this one and then we get away with it, for then we get away with it, for the arrest warrant details here are the crimes, wilful killing, murder, starvation. now, if you take starvation as a separate one, those first two are very much also what happened on october 7th? it seems like that would be a weird arrest to make. there's questions to be asked about the starvation early on, claims that it would be used, but maybe now's not the time to look into it. war crimes can also be investigated after the war, rather than make it harder for the war to end. and the problem with this is it implies moral equivalency when there isn't any. and the problem with implying moral equivalency is then if you disprove the equivalency, it looks like you've disproved the claims. yeah. no what happened? the two sides are not equivalent, but they can be wrong on both sides. keep them separate so you can look into them. >> yeah, i think what has been disproven is the legitimacy of the icc. i think it's yet another institution that that's going to fall , another institution that that's going to fall, after overstepping itself. anyway, we've got the telegraph now and the bbc are under fire for saying the dead iranian president had a mixed legacy when he forced women to dress

modestly and murdered thousands of socialists. but he probably did some bad things as well. steve >> the bbc, slated for absurd obituary of butcher of tehran. and i've got to be honest, that would be a brave business title if you were going into halal meats butcher of tehran. but maybe they're not going to do that now. the bbc, facing criticism after saying that iran's hard line president died in a helicopter crash. he had a mixed legacy. there were good people on both sides, i believe, as someone once said in the obituary, they said that he was loved by hardliners of the islamic republic of iran. so hardliners, other butchers loved him. on hardliners, other butchers loved him. oh yeah. other i mean, hardliners. i think sounds like a spin off of this show, like a podcast. only one. you'd be on it. lewis would be on it. i'd never get invited, the bbc noted his leadership helped to reform the process of the sorting out the process of the sorting out the backlog of court cases. now, to be fair, since , 2021, the to be fair, since, 2021, the regime executed 1844 iranians, including a huge number of dissidents, religious minorities, mostly in sham trials. yeah they're not going back proven executions. >> there's thousands more

missing that were clearly killed as well. >> yeah, that's they're not in the courts anymore. so there's a backlog sorted. also, do you know how how much more efficient a sham trial is than a proper trial. so well done, bbc, you found a good spin, but it's also the bbc. >> it's the bbc world service that put this thing and they're not really almost even part of the bbc. they're so out there and they don't even represent they don't represent this country. >> they're like they do. >> they're like they do. >> they're like they do. >> they explicitly represent this country around the world. >> it's pretty much the sole purpose. >> why are you interrupting me? >> why are you interrupting me? >> because you're wrong. are you talking about blood? >> i am saying yes. they're part of this thing and they're part of this thing and they're part of that thing, and. but they're not. but they don't think of themselves as part of this thing. they don't think of. well, they used to be funded by the. >> yes, i know you. >> you can't interrupt me because i'm going off on places i don't even know where i'm going. so it's not like i can get back to that place easily. the fact is, the fact is it's the bbc which which has no place in a democratic country. >> because i have that on my bingo card. >> they are basically the state. i guess there's some equivalence there between, you know, iran, state media and the uk's state media. ken loach is one example.

i mean, he's not as credible as he used to be, but he's he's compared there. he's compared the say the bbc is basically state propaganda. but what i mean, just to you know, play devil's advocate for the bbc, i mean, what i love about the butcher of tehran is that he marched side by side. the islamists in iran march side by side with a leftist, the leftist help them into power, much as the green party are doing now in this country. and then afterwards they turned around and locked them all up and then, you know, later slaughtered them. this you know, exposing them. this you know, exposing the utility. >> you don't have to tell me that. you tell the people who are watching this thing that they have that when you join with these people who are anti—israel, you're basically putting a death sentence to britain. yeah. >> and in this case, in iran's case, it was on your own head. >> yeah. in their own head . >> yeah. in their own head. >> yeah. in their own head. >> so, i mean, if only socialists were capable of learning lessons from history, they wouldn't be socialists. >> they're not. we've got the express now , and europe has express now, and europe has decided to protect its borders, but only against russian missiles. lewis? >> yes. the eu urged to build

£3.4 billion iron dome to defend against vladimir putin's attack. suddenly, not suddenly, but the last couple of years, the europeans are like interested in like war coming from russia. i don't think it's going to happen, but it might that russia wants a lot of land in order for them to be happy. but they're they want to have a similar thing to israel. what israel has with this sky dome, which patriot missiles, i don't know whether they're going to build, build it themselves or whether they're going to use probably get some chinese and russians in here to do it. right. trust the russians. but the truth is, is thatis russians. but the truth is, is that is that europe is indefensible. what is indefensible. what is indefensible , and the only way indefensible, and the only way to smash the russians or prevent the russians from doing this is to attack the russians. well what i don't understand, steve, is the if it's possible to build an iron dome of missile protection. >> so, you know, russian ballistic missiles and drones can't attack europe. why didn't we do it, like, for, like, six decades ago when they first built, you know , icbms that can

built, you know, icbms that can carry nuclear warheads over to us and destroy the west ? yeah. us and destroy the west? yeah. >> i mean, some of the technology i imagine is better now . yeah. but to try and now. yeah. but to try and compare it to the, israeli iron dome, the land mass is the issue, isn't it? so much easier to have an iron dome over a smaller area than a huge continent ? i smaller area than a huge continent? i think smaller area than a huge continent ? i think that smaller area than a huge continent? i think that might be the problem here, but i mean, why not go for it? 3.4 billion? that's way less than the amount of covid money that went missing that the government never looked for just from one nation. so it forjust from one nation. so it seems very affordable. it's a bit keynesian economics as well. get around to building some of this stuff. it'll keep the economy going and hopefully means if you look, we'll keep rocket scientists busy , which is rocket scientists busy, which is a good idea. it's not rocket science. that phrase there must be sick of it. they deserve more money. >> it seemed like no amount of money. £3.4 billion. it didn't seem like a real number. it seems like you can't build anything. there's nothing you can build. >> hs2 was way more than there's no money for anyway. >> we're at the half way point, but join us in a moment. for a tory mp under fire for comments about british values, scotland

loses its religion and scarlett johansson loses her rag over an imitator .

welcome back to headliners. and just a quick shout out to anna at my daughter's nursery. they're all lovely there, but, but anna watches the show. she's a big fan, so. yeah. hello, anna. anyway we've got the times now, and scarlett johansson is furious that an ai has copied her voice. well, imagine how furious i am every time i hear groundskeeper willie voice. louis, tell us more . louis, tell us more. >> hey, scarlett johansson shocked and angered over chat gpt sound alike. and that's the openai. i don't know how this thing works. i actually have one, but can they open ? i one, but can they open? i confirmed that the actress behind the sky voice was not scarlett johansson, but pulled the voice anyway . she they the voice anyway. she they pulled. the point is, is that, okay, openai has been using her voice and she's upset about that

because she would like to be paid, but they have to use her voice or it sounds like. are you interrupting me? >> well, in the story, because, you know, i just want to get to the facts. >> it was a bad thing. >> it was a bad thing. >> it was a bad to get to the facts. >> basically, what happened was they wanted scarlett johansson to do the voice. scarlett johansson said, no, they got somebody who sounds like scarlett johansson. is that the same as copying scarlett johansson? >> no, i think she just needs to get over this. as much as it might sound like, oh, that's not fair. this is the way it's going to be, i people will be able to find who sounds exactly like you, if not, just create that voice, sample it, and make it a bit more like you. it's just the way it's going to be. >> it isn't the way. now, can i, can i now, just for context, say, remember the adverts with, the guy who sounded like morgan freeman? >> the more than insurance. it wasn't morgan freeman. he sounded. he was doing an impression that's happened in adverts for forever. >> it has happened. but there's been lawsuits, including the bette midler thing, which he sued sony films because they they actually went to her and asked her to sing the theme song, and she wouldn't sing it. so they got someone to imitate her and that she won like nine, or she won like tons of money,

like £1 million. and so she successfully and she won. and that's what's going to happen. that's what's going to happen here. they basically went to her. they asked her, will you do it? she said, i loved you in the film. her in 2013. this is the guy, sam altman, and she said, no. and they did it anyway. and they have proof of this. so it isn't like. well, it sounds like that's like saying like, you know, i don't know. >> it's like you can't get the mercedes that you want. so you go and buy, you know , a ford go and buy, you know, a ford that looks like the mercedes. it's like you're not defrauding mercedes . yeah, yeah. mercedes. yeah, yeah. >> i also just say about the fact that that he wanted to copy the film her. why do these people who are making ai copy films where ai is not a good thing? they go, oh, we'll make it into a robot. let's make one that looks like the terminator, because people love that. no, learn from films. >> okay, we've got the telegraph now in british, bees are scared of asian hornets. don't these bees know that diversity is strength? steve, we need to send them on inclusivity training, be british bees. too scared to go out because of asian hornet threat . it turns out they've threat. it turns out they've been reading the daily mail and they, you know, these asian hornets are coming over here in

very small boats across the channel and to be fair, the daily star normally calls them killer asian hornets , which even killer asian hornets, which even puts me off. i don't like anything with killer in its name. killer whales. i don't even have 1000w just in case. so it turns out that these bees sense the threat of a predator around so they stay in a bit more. which makes sense. if you weren't a bee, which means they don't actually store up enough food to get them through the winter , then they just die out. winter, then they just die out. so it's a bit sad like that. the british beekeeping association has told us what we should do if we see an asian hornet flail your arms, cry, ruin the picnic for everyone. i didn't say that. that's just my guess. but yeah, the headlines are still. oh, sorry. this is the most important bit of the story, it says the animals pose no threat to human life. but the headlines are still. they're coming over here with the martial arts. yeah, crazy. >> and i don't i don't understand who the killer bees. if they don't pose a threat. but but, i mean, this has happened with other animals, like red squirrels . red squirrels have squirrels. red squirrels have been, you know, driven out of most of the uk by by, you know, larger, more aggressive grey squirrels from, i think canada. yeah. >> or you could say, or you

could say that, the anglo—saxons came to this country and it posed a threat to the atari. this is this is the way things are. maybe the maybe the asian hornets were coming over here, whether humans were here or not. and there's nothing we can do about it. why do we have to control the entire world? on the other hand, i think we need to control the entire world. bees bees are very important. from what i know. maybe they're not that important , but i think that important, but i think they're very important. >> he's doing so good with balance tonight. yeah, yeah. >> pollination. and also making honey, which contains your favourite thing. sugar. anyway, we've got the. we've got the guardian. now with the news that scotland is the land of freedom, but only from religion. i assume you've got an rem joke about this, steve. >> oh, i didn't think of that. oh that's a good one. sadly, it's not. any majority of people in scotland have no religion. census shows. they don't believe there's a god which with their diet, they'll find out soon enough, data from the 2022 scottish census shows that secularism has increased. it's now from 36.7% up to 51. good. can we atheists finally get a national holiday? every other religion seems to get one. i want a day off as well. but what

should the church of scotland do about this? the reverend david cameron, not that one, said our reforms of recent years have sought to address what the church is today, and they've come up with different things they're going to do, which includes running debt support initiatives, substance use and dependency recovery services. talk about never going out of business in scotland . that is a business in scotland. that is a great way to move obe louis. >> does this worry you that scotland has become less religious? religious because we've seen in other places that when religion goes new religions such as gender ideology, critical race theory, social justice theory come in and people get indoctrinated with them. instead, they're still scottish people. >> i've been married to a scottish person, so i don't like them, and maybe they don't like me and they don't like me, but so am i. am i afraid of this? i mean , the problem with religion mean, the problem with religion is at some point they go after the jews and you want to get them when they're not going after the jews. the time they're not going after the jews is right towards the end of the thing. >> but at the moment it's

atheists that are going after jews because, you know, they're the ones marching right, right towards the end. >> i didn't say they're at the end. oh, right. the people at the end. okay. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well, we've got the times now with the news that more than half of young people have forgotten the lessons of world war two. yeah, it kind of worked that out from the anti—semitism. yeah that's quite interesting. >> it's, this is a study that was done on behalf of the commonwealth. i guess the commonwealth. i guess the commonwealth. i guess the commonwealth. i don't even know who you can never tell with these newspapers where studies were done . who said it? you know were done. who said it? you know why it's important. but this is they quoted the commonwealth war graves commission. they said that people that only 58% in the uk know what d—day stands for. i don't even know what d—day, what is the d and d—day ? is the d and d—day? >> dunnett. dunnett. >> dunnett. dunnett. >> yeah. what is the d and d? what is the d and d day. why don't they change the name they call it like nazi invasion day 1944. >> and then people would know what it was. >> people would know what it. >> people would know what it. >> remember that scene from saving private ryan? >> yeah. well, they could say private ryan day, call it that. that's not a bad idea. it's private ryan day, d—day is the

worst name for this thing. >> but, steve, i feel like, you know, as we forget as a nation, we forget the lessons of history particularly, you know, really important ones like world war two, were more at risk of you know. yeah. falling into them again. >> definitely. we should remember the lessons from world war ii rather than just celebrate the days we can sit here at our age and think it's ridiculous. of course, people should want to commemorate this, but it's our right to think. it's like we don't have that much detail in our head about the boer war. just because of generation x, you can look at the gaps. the generation z's won't care as much. as much as we could sit here and go, it's terrible. it's going to happen. they're going to stop commemorating these things. but you're right. the message, the lessons from world war ii should be remembered, which is , given be remembered, which is, given the world, things we do have students waste is the best. >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> and that's what the problem with d—day is. we were fighting against the germans, and the germans are now they're the leader . they were the leaders of leader. they were the leaders of team world. they are team world. they're the founders of team world. and we, according to our great leader rishi sunak and the

other horrible people who are in charge of everything , we have to charge of everything, we have to be nice to the germans. we should be. >> it's interesting the germans did so well out of world war two because, you know, i guess the rest of the west didn't want to recreate the after world war i. they had to pay reparations and, basically bankrupted them so badly that, you know , they badly that, you know, they turned to hitler to sort of rebuild the country and become aggressive again. so, you know, the west didn't want that. so they helped they invested in germany and helped them become this economic powerhouse . this economic powerhouse. >> yes. >> yes. >> but now the germans won until until lately. and they're not quite winning as much , but they quite winning as much, but they still want us to be part of their thing. they want us to not be part of brexit. they want us to join with germany and france and fight everybody else. and these some of these people don't want that to happen. i don't want that to happen. i don't want it to happen. >> okay. well we've got the express now and a tory mp is under fire for blaming fly—tipping on immigrants. it's ridiculous. i've travelled extensively in the developing world and it's always spotlessly tidy. >> steve tory mp blames

immigrants without british values for fly—tipping >> i mean, the parts of this story make the asian hornet ones seem like sensible xenophobia. conservative mp marco longhi told his separate they put it in here separately, told his staff not to deal with asylum seekers, then into the next bit of the fact, now says the immigration is having an environmental impact in dudley. they're causing fly—tipping. i mean, maybe they are. maybe they aren't. fly tipping already existed and he does this long thread he posted on the birmingham live website saying that saint thomas ward is the most littered and fly—tipped area in dudley. tallest dwarf issue there, i imagine , however, issue there, i imagine, however, this was not always the case. a few decades ago, people had pride in the area. what's changed? someone else posted like the £122 million cut for dudley's budget. so there are many factors going off here. you can't just pin it on like, oh, more people have turned up and now this place is a mess. >> yeah, well, and also he's saying it's people with their different values, lewis. you know, values that i guess in britain we tend to, you know, put litter in the bin rather

than dump lots of fridges down an alley in birmingham. >> back in the day they didn't have litter in this country. there wasn't anything you couldn't go to a restaurant and eat. there was nothing to eat. the truth is, the only reason this is actually a truth, a true thing which is people who do fly tip probably are immigrants because they're the people who are working. you're trying to get an english person to pick up your rubbish. it's not going to happen. >> okay. >> okay. >> well, that's you can't argue with that logic. we've got the telegraph now with a job advert looking for a criminal. is this just a very lazy police sting operation ? operation? >> this is very theatre. seeks chief executive from from criminal class or underclass in job advert. and this is. it's a camden's people's theatre. what they what they're looking for a new chief executive. they're looking for someone who has. who wants to encourage applications from individuals without a formal education or who identify as working class , benefit class, as working class, benefit class, criminal class under class, and,

it's just, it's i criminal class under class, and, it'sjust, it's i read this criminal class under class, and, it's just, it's i read this and i was, i was against it completely because i'm a i'm on gb news. but then again, i saw that they were they were open to jewish. well, you just have to go in next something if you just do some shoplifting. >> lewis, then i'd have two more categories. >> i'd have two categories. >> i'd have two categories. >> if you did shoplifting, no one would catch you or press charges. you wouldn't technically be a criminal, you might want to do some other crimes, because we all know posh people never do crimes. it's not like there's any kind of tax evasion. >> that's why posh people are so great. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> so there there's only the criminal class that does crimes, apparently, which is going to be shocking to some people. no, it is offensive. as someone from a working class background, i don't think it's the same as criminal class. >> you're working class? >> you're working class? >> yeah. somebody checked my laptop. >> yeah, i'm from mansfield . >> yeah, i'm from mansfield. i've probably got your laptop. what does that mean? >> there are no more working class than you. >> i'm even scottish. >> i'm even scottish. >> that's. i'm scottish. >> that's. i'm scottish. >> not only that, i had to come to london. i had to come to england to find out. i'm working class in scotland. i thought i was middle class. yeah, yeah. theni was middle class. yeah, yeah. then i came down here. everybody's using cutlery.

anyway, that's it for part three. but stay with us for the final section where we'll have donald trump the movie, and the police find a man over his

welcome back to headliners. we've got the guardian now with a film about donald trump. if you can't wait for it to come out, i guess you could just watch the news. steve. >> yeah. trump movie the apprentice . good title. i don't apprentice. good title. i don't think it's a movie he would dislike, says director . think it's a movie he would dislike, says director. might have a good point here. speaking at the cannes film festival about this controversy . new film about this controversy. new film deliberately done so, i suppose. of course it's going to get talked about, especially as it's happening during the trump campaign and the trump court cases, people from the trump campaign said it belongs in a dumpster fire. this film sounded bonng dumpster fire. this film sounded boring enough until the trump people went in on it saying , people went in on it saying, it's ridiculous, he's going to sue, and i think i'm going to watch it now. he's more fun. but in it, in the apprentice, the protagonist had a bully, a liar, a con man and a rapist. he,

rejects his sick brother and, well, it's just the life and times of things that have been accused. although the accusation of rape was was retracted by his first wife, although there's a bit in the film where he's told he's given advice by his mentor. attack at all times, deny everything, never, ever admit defeat. >> that's great advice. lewis seems to fit, isn't it? >> well, it's worked for him and you know what? he. i agree with you. he got all excited when people started attacking the film and he started attacking the film and that's what he wants. he just he all donald trump wants to summon to pay attention to him. he's like me. i'm you know, i just want people to pay attention to me. i don't have anything. >> could i just say we did spend the entire break with lewis saying, why aren't you talking to me? why are you looking at, look, why are yadda? >> yeah, this is better. the people are watching this. if you get a two shot on this, this is far more interesting. >> well, lewis, i mean, if you want attention, if you want attention in about, you know, 40 years time, you'll be old enough to run for president , the metro to run for president, the metro known a crime victim was found by the russian police because they didn't like his haircut.

but it'll make sense when you hear what his haircut was. >> lewis? yes. >> lewis? yes. >> this guy, this dude. his name is stanislav. this is in the metro. stanislav nemchinov . and metro. stanislav nemchinov. and he was 25 years old in moscow. >> it is not. »- >> it is not. >> thank you for looking at me. it's not even like local news. he goes into a police station in moscow to report his phones being stolen. and it led to. you just get ignored or you have to wait for 1000 hours. >> yeah, or you get arrested for tweeting a limerick about the scene as transphobic. or you get, you know, arrested for being openly jewish. thank you. >> so he he was basically he was fined because his hair was was orange , was yellow blue and orange, was yellow blue and yellow, blue and yellow, which is the colours of the war, the enemy of the people that the russians are fighting. >> well, not the people, not the not the russian people, but the enemy of putin. >> we don't know that. no, i think the i think the people don't like the they don't like them either. i guess a lot of them either. i guess a lot of the people. what do you think they're just doing it on their own. is that what you're thinking? yeah. you're missed. you're missed the ukraine. >> yeah. i'm mr ukraine and for the sake of the show, i'm mr, mr >> russia. >> russia. >> okay, well good luck with

that. >> i feel sorry for the guy because i looked at the pictures and yep, there's blue. yep. there's yellow running. so he's green. he's just got a colourful head and yet they've just focused on two and going how very dare you. and getting arrested for it. and also in the story he says he's had his hair dyed like that since like 2017, right? oh, you picked a wrong time to get your phone nicked. yeah. they they find him. he's just been mugged. the one time he can't pay the fine is when he's not got his wallet on him. >> and tell him how much the fine is. it's unbelievable. >> £435. >> £435. >> that's a fortune in that country. yeah, it's a fortune here, too. >> we've got the telegraph now with evidence that the dalai lama and louis schaefer are the same person. same person. >> same person. >> steve, i've never seen them in the same room at the same time. good point. dalai lama told cameraman. i won't do the accent . you're fat. you need to accent. you're fat. you need to go on a diet. this is according to channel 4 news, cathy newman was on a podcast and she said, i met the dalai lama. and at the end of the interview, he said to a cameraman, does he say his name, graham, she says, who sadly died not many years afterwards , that he was very

afterwards, that he was very fat. well, maybe he should have lost some weight. maybe this wasn't the dalai lama doing a dig. yeah, it's in touch with god or something. he's well, not god. >> you can see the future. you can see the diabetes. he was saying, lay off the pies a bit. >> try, get yourself some salads in there. and then she says, cathy newman says , i thought it cathy newman says, i thought it was hilarious. oh, so fat shaming is okay now is it, cathy? >> oh, that's very interesting. yeah. the fact is, is that. don't be fat, lose weight. i know, i don't know whether i seem thin or not, but i've lost like six. i lost £60 and i feel i feel better. and that's the way to not get diabetes. >> so you approve of the dalai lama message? let's quickly squeeze this one in the independent now with the terrifying news that an area of internet the size of wales is lost every two weeks. louis. >> yes, it's. this is a thing that was in. it doesn't like all these newspaper common crawl. the do do research. this is an american thing. says the 25% of all, internet pages are lost within ten years. according to this, at least. and so if you think things are going to stick

around forever, my all my career, my, all my tv appearances have been like, basically cut off all my main shows on nbc and cbs . shows on nbc and cbs. >> i'm sure there's like, preserved in a vault somewhere for humanity. >> i don't think so. i was making a joke. >> okay, this story just says the reason they found that the links don't work is it was crawled by a thing that archives the internet. so we're not losing the internet. it's already been archived. it's just when it gets checked again later, the links don't go anywhere. >> oh, so the original isn't working, but they are archived somewhere. so if you want to go and find lewis's stand up. in fact, yeah, your stand up is amazing. i recommend going, going and finding it wherever you can, very much like myspace or whatever it was put on. anyway, the show is nearly over, so let's take another quick look at wednesday's front pages. the daily mail has nightmare at 37,000ft. the telegraph has. i've lost my hands and feet to sepsis, says mp. the guardian leads with alarm over big increase in under 40s with diabetes. the times has make fewer arrests to help jails. police told the i has b'rit charged with spying for china

found dead in maidenhead park and the daily star has rats . an and the daily star has rats. an apology and those were front pages and that's all we have time for. thank you to my guest, steve n allen and lewis schaffer, and we're back tomorrow at 11 pm. when simon evans will be joined by nick dixon and josh howie. and if you're watching at 5 am, stay tuned for breakfast. but until then, goodbye . then, goodbye. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello. good evening. welcome to your latest gb news weather update. it's going to be another cooler day on wednesday with some very heavy and persistent rain for some of us. we do have weather warnings in force for a large swathe of the uk throughout wednesday. that's as this weather front approaches from the south and east, wrapped around an area of low pressure through this evening. so some very heavy rain to come through this evening across southeastern areas of england in particular. we could also see some thunderstorms for the first few hours of this evening across the west as well. but that rain will

become more confined to the east coast just throughout tonight . coast just throughout tonight. it will turn a little bit drier elsewhere, but there will be a lot of cloud around by tomorrow morning, so it will be another fairly mild start to the day. but some drizzly rain will start to affect parts of the east coast, just as that weather front starts to approach, the east coast of scotland could see quite a lot of low cloud around, but the north—west of scotland could see some brightness first thing, but that rain will arrive later on in the day across northern ireland. some showery rain, but it's not expected to be as heavy as it has been through today, but it's across parts of north wales, the midlands, north eastern england in particular, where the rain will be the heaviest first thing and that will continue to persist throughout the day. so as the day goes on, i think any impacts from the rain will become more likely as more weather warnings come into force. as that rain pushes up into scotland , we've got another into scotland, we've got another weather warning in force for scotland. we could see up to 100mm, perhaps more, fall over the 24 hours between wednesday and thursday, particularly across parts of north wales into

northern areas of england. so that could bring some major travel disruption. and temperatures are going to be disappointing for the time of yean disappointing for the time of year, with plenty of cloud around rain continues into thursday, particularly across the north and west . it's thursday, particularly across the north and west. it's this north area of wales where there's the most potential for some disruptive heavy rain, but it will turn more showery as the day goes on, and across the south it will start to turn a little bit brighter by the afternoon. a mix of showers as we head towards friday, and by saturday a chance of some sunshine and temperatures climbing towards 20 degrees. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on
