2:04 am
darkest hour, the times, farage's return and new poll deal blow to sunak. guardian has tory alarm as farage takes control of reform uk and the telegraph has. i'm back to lead the revolt. i news has farage blows apart tory election plan with surprise challenge to sunak. and finally, the metro has tories face a record. wrote and those were your front pages as . kicking off the in—depth as. kicking off the in—depth look into tuesday's front pages with the telegraph. >> nicholas, i'm back to lead the revolt . the revolt. >> of course, this is the big story of the day. >> big picture of a very determined looking nigel farage. >> accepting, taking up the gauntlet, accepting the leadership of the reform party , leadership of the reform party, revolt is the key word. of course, nigel farage is probably the only politician who has delivered in his lifetime with
2:05 am
the seismic, clamorous brexit victory, who else? >> and now he's hoping to, of course, tap into the, dissatisfaction among tory voters after 14 years of tory government and possibly some laboun government and possibly some labour, mps. sorry electors as well, nigel farage richard tice have not, been shy in condemning what we have in this country, which is a first past the post system, which effectively takes it, turns it into a two party system, which it often has the side effect that both parties become a bit complacent with the voters and take them for granted . so it remains to be seen. >> well, and this is one of the things he's been saying today, is he's he's claiming that he's not just going to take tory votes, but he thinks that he's going to take some of labour's votes as well. >> well, he did take labour votes for brexit referendum. so why not. right, right. >> indeed that was the old school labour vote though. >> the one, you know, the kind of anti trading bloc guys that
2:06 am
was that's i think that's not right. i think i had andrew doyle say that once. yes i understand this. >> i think he's also going to have a bit of an effect on ed davey, isn't he. because poor old ed spent the week trying to do crazy things and go down waterslides, and his stunts are going to have to get more and more? they really are, because he doesn't get very much airtime because his party hasn't got enough support. >> well, that's his next start getting air time. he's going to jump getting air time. he's going to jump out of a plane on a, you know, onto a bouncy castle. so good luck to him. whooi good luck to everybody. sorry. >> well, yeah. >> well, yeah. >> absolutely . yeah. very >> absolutely. yeah. very interesting to see him back, okay. moving on to the guardian. jonathan. >> yes? this is a very exciting story for all of our mexican fans, our viewers out there. so president sheinbaum makes history in mexico . no. so history in mexico. no. so claudia sheinbaum has won a landslide victory to become mexico's first female president, inheriting the project of her mentor and outgoing leader, andres manuel lopez obrador , andres manuel lopez obrador, whose popularity among the poor helped drive her triumph. so so, she is a left wing climate scientist and former mayor of mexico city, and she won the
2:07 am
presidency with between 58.3 and 60.7% of the vote. so that seems a pretty, pretty, you know, strong win. and yeah, all i can say is that, you know, central american countries have a very left wing leader, always do very well. so good luck to them . well. so good luck to them. >> it always goes well. and she certainly is very left wing from what i've read today. she's all about social reform, more of a welfare state. things like that. nicolas. >> yeah, i don't like that about her. >> and i don't like the fact that when she was the mayor of mexico city, she had some, comments about white privilege. and you know, herself being of white descent with a german name, obviously, although being jewish, which is another element of this story in a country where you have about 50,000 jews or so, less than 1, really. but that's also quite interesting . that's also quite interesting. but but yeah, i didn't like that about her. but what remains to be seen is if trump does win, of course, the dynamic between the us and it's going to be funny. >> those meetings. >> those meetings. >> yeah, yeah. very interesting . >> yeah, yeah. very interesting. >> yeah, yeah. very interesting. >> i can imagine that. >> i can imagine that. >> yeah i look forward to that. what is the daily mail going with nicolas now?
2:08 am
>> the daily mail i want to start with this little cartoon, on the, on bottom right, there's this, newspaper headline saying farage vows to destroy the tories. and you have these two tories. and you have these two tories with a blue rosette walking, saying we were doing a perfectly good job without them . perfectly good job without them. so that's the story of the day. but on top we have a story about a feature about nadine dorries. former, the for secretary digital, culture, media and sports that's such a long title. i believe death is not the end. that's the only explanation for so many things i've seen, actually, quite a moving article. i managed to read half of it. she delves back into her years as a nurse, dealing with a lot of terminal patients, patients who were passing away on her on their final hours. she was next to them. apparitions ghosts, supernatural, all that holding their hands , whispering holding their hands, whispering to their ears, comforting them,
2:09 am
consoling them . and, presumably consoling them. and, presumably that has has, acted as a foundation for her, for her faith. >> and then she's holding the pillow. i understand . pillow. i understand. >> okay. no, no. no comments. >> okay. no, no. no comments. >> allegedly, allegedly . jonathan. >> she absolutely managed to survive the farage story . yeah. survive the farage story. yeah. imagine if we get complaints on this one for that. >> dorries finally gets me. no, i actually think she's right. i read so many. this is this is not me being silly, but i've read just hundreds and hundreds of near—death experience stories , and there seems to be a real consistency with, if you like, have an experience where you almost die or you're having surgery and you, you know, you literally go brain dead for a moment, the experience you have seems to be very consistent . and seems to be very consistent. and it's literally like you see your life flash before your eyes, you get a life review. you go in a tunnel towards the light. it's so strange. for my money, it's literally the most interesting thing there is. but at the same time, if you haven't read it, it just sounds like nonsense. but the truth is out there. >> very interesting. jonathan >> very interesting. jonathan >> for royal gossip fans, we also have a picture of prince andrew, apparently, horse riding around the windsor castle. but the king is not happy and he has
2:10 am
asked him to leave for frogmore cottage. otherwise all ties will be severed . be severed. >> and so why is he asking? is this because he couldn't . he this because he couldn't. he couldn't look after the place that he was in? is that right? i read recently he was he wasn't keeping up with the diy given this amazing place and just being a terrible tenant, i think it's more about the reputational damage. >> and also the daily mail says he is apparently he has no source of income. so a burden on on the king no less. >> unbelievable . any thoughts on >> unbelievable. any thoughts on prince andrew there, jonathan, careful . careful. >> no, you don't have to be careful on prince andrew. i think he's . i careful on prince andrew. i think he's. i think he's fair game. it's fair game. >> okay, well, what do i think? he i wish him well, >> okay, well, what do i think? he i wish him well , that's he i wish him well, that's that's what you have to say. i wish him well. >> that's very diplomatic. i wish him very well. >> yeah, especially near—death experiences. and finally , the experiences. and finally, the times, jonathan. >> yeah. so this is , really good >> yeah. so this is, really good news for people who like very painful stings. so the hornet alert after invaders survived the uk winter. so invasive asian
2:11 am
hornets. that's not me calling them that. that's their names have survived the winter in britain for the first time, tests have confirmed. so these results will stoke fears that the species which preys on other insects like bees, will basically diminish the bees numbers. now if i remember anything from ten years ago, is that all the bees are dying and all the food's going to stop in five years. so i think that has happened. five years. so i think that has happened . but, you know, now happened. but, you know, now these bees are going to be killing. sorry. all the hornets are going to be killing the bees, which i, i donated 3 or £4 to charity. muggers in the street trying to save the bees. so that was all in vain. >> did you? you're supposed to plant flowers, aren't you? that's supposed to help the bees. >> i plant flowers, you donate to charity. so between us, we must make a difference. >> greta would be absolutely thrilled with the pair of you. yeah. >> i don't want to get stung, though. by a hornet. >> well, they're absolutely terrifying, aren't they? everything we've read about them, they're huge . they're them, they're huge. they're scary. can they hurt people? >> yeah. the hornets . >> yeah. the hornets. >> yeah. the hornets. >> right. okay. well, i haven't had a lot of experience with hornets have you. >> no no thankfully not. but i know a guy. >> well you know a guy i know
2:12 am
hornet guy. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> you know a hornet guy i don't know what that means. i'm going to find out during the break. that's the front page is done. stay with us for part two. when we discussing hunter biden's future, the navy seals latest piece of pr and what the young farmers association have been up to. it's not
2:15 am
welcome back to headliners. i'm cressida wetton , still joined by cressida wetton, still joined by responsible family man nicholas de santo and bohemian dandy jonathan kogan. >> i do declare that's how dandy speak, right? no, i must say, i've been in a relationship with my sister. that's a southern dandy. >> okay, so are you. like i meant like, yeah, yeah , exactly. meant like, yeah, yeah, exactly. >> my references are american. okay. >> starting with tuesday's guardian and the latest on hunter biden's court case. well, one of them, nicholas hunter and jill biden, arrive for jury selection in gun charges. >> case . now, this is very
2:16 am
>> case. now, this is very questionable journalism by the guardian . surprise, surprise. guardian. surprise, surprise. they say this trial will provide a welcome distraction for the republicans after trump's conviction. i don't know what welcome distraction they need because the verdict in new york actually has galvanised republicans . they have broken republicans. they have broken every fundraising record $53 million in 24 hours. the website actually is called winred. it was crashed. so much support they got. and of course now the picture of biden has become a meme next to other leaders of history who jailed or tried to jail their opponents. hitler, mussolini , pol pot, kim jong un, mussolini, pol pot, kim jong un, idi amin and so on. cameron, but also you were like as you were saying, well, trump signed up to tiktok the other day, and then he got a million followers in a day. >> so clearly it hasn't hurt his popularity. >> yeah, exactly. there is this funny, meme by babylon bee, saying the jury in new york,
2:17 am
convicts , trump to four years in convicts, trump to four years in a small oval office in washington, dc. but anyway, hunter biden, trial is coming up. this is a bad time for the whole biden campaign, which is already , trailing trump in all already, trailing trump in all polls, but yet still, he says, yeah, biden says he has a lot of love for his son. confidence and respect for his strength. now, what what are the strengths of hunter biden? one of them is that he was sitting at the board of an oil and gas company in ukraine without having any connection to oil, gas or ukraine just because his daddy as vice president was in charge of ukraine dossier, it took him four years to recognise his little girl , whom he four years to recognise his little girl, whom he had four years to recognise his little girl , whom he had with little girl, whom he had with a stripper and he was also dating hallie biden, the widow of his late brother, who will be a witness in this trial because
2:18 am
she is allegedly the one who made that gun disappear. so what a lovely, wholesome american family we have here. it's not looking great for him, is it, jonathan? >> it's not. and i feel i do feel a bit sorry for him because i was reading the article and it tells about his life. he you know, he lost his mother, he lost his brother, he lost his younger sister . it basically had younger sister. it basically had a really traumatic life. so look, if he wants to smoke a bit of crack, just give him a break. i mean, obviously don't do all the alleged international, you know, illicit deals or however they want to be described. but, you know , let him or don't lie you know, let him or don't lie about your addiction to get a gun and then dispose of it in a that's not the american way. you tell the truth to get near a school, allegedly. >> and also don't do that and then write about it in a memoir and then claim that you didn't know he was high. he was what he was high. yeah, allegedly. that looks like that's about his best defence at this point . so defence at this point. so i don't know how likely it is. he could get a maximum of 25 years, which i'm sure will happen . i which i'm sure will happen. i don't think he's. >> what if him and trump were in a cell together? that'd be a
2:19 am
sitcom. >> you should write that. i'd like to see that the biden trump sitcom. brilliant. we're in the express now. it's pride month for the frogmen. i mean, the frog memes. sorry jonathan, yes, that's very good. i was just enjoying the joke. frogmen. what is that? it's a type of furry . is that? it's a type of furry. >> seals are called the frogmen because they go in the water. >> yes, i did know that. okay let's read the headline. us navy seals sparked backlash with woke post. that leaves americans terrified for future. so some americans were not happy and they branded the us navy seals. they called them woke after they shared a post celebrating pride month . now, as you can imagine, month. now, as you can imagine, like almost every country company in the west, or institution in the west, they shared a big pride flag post. >> we got it, actually. there we go. okay, so it's not traditional army marine, no, but they've got navy seals . they've got navy seals. >> they've gone for the classic pride flag. not all, not the modern one with all the different editions on. so you could say that is almost regressive comparatively. very good point, but yeah, a lot of people have taken , some issue people have taken, some issue with it because i think they're saying that the, you know, navy
2:20 am
seals should be focusing on the, the global situation and not kind of, i guess, pandering to special interest groups. but at the same time, if this is them essentially celebrating the gay and lesbian servicemen and women in their organisation, then that's kind of fine. it's like, yeah, because for a long time you weren't allowed to be gay in these organisations. and now it's like, yeah, we're accepted. >> well, i'd be very interested to know who got this in there, because in the uk i would think it would be stonewall somebody like that. i had a quick look at the navy seals website and it still looks very blokey. that's not being marketed. >> sometimes it's just one guy or gal or whatever pronoun they go with. >> there was a woman who gets , >> there was a woman who gets, too much excess of zeal, but the whole thing is becoming a bit tedious. >> companies. you mentioned jonathan. they changed their logos on social media, but only for european markets. if you check the same big corporations, their middle eastern versions, no change, of course. so it's all about profit and pandering and virtue signalling where there is no risk at all. not not
2:21 am
not actually standing up for gay people or lgbt where they face serious threats. >> but one of the threats that the us faces is the recruitment to the forces. right. and i don't know whether this helps them or not. i don't feel like this helps them. i think. i mean, it's supposed to be about inclusion because your typical soldiers, you know, this is about being a soldier and fighting and the typical soldier mentality is not about the need to be validated and celebrated and revered every second week. >> you know , it's just >> you know, it's just ridiculous. absolutely. >> but then again, the romans in the 300, they were all they'd love to have, man on man action. so, you know, maybe it's they are the kind of soldiers that we need. >> i think you're confusing romans and greeks. >> yes, i am. that's because i don't read. so in 300, it was against the persians, and it was the greeks against the persians, aries. >> aries. >> aries. >> what they called the people who worshipped aries. we need to move on. >> the spartans. >> the spartans. >> spartans! that's the one. thank you. >> we're gonna move on now. >> we're gonna move on now. >> a story that mentions primal movement in the express . i
2:22 am
>> a story that mentions primal movement in the express. i think jonathan had one of those just before the show. but anyway, tell us what i do in the gb news boardroom is no one's business. >> carry on. oh, sorry. >> it's mine. yeah i mean, we were about to. we covered. farage. we covered the royal family. i just don't want to have a diplomatic incident with the italian embassy. yeah. primal movement and yoga teaching or the greeks just stop oil activists wants brits to pay court for now. this is fantastic . i mean, this, sadly, she has a very italian name. stefania morozzi, yoga teacher. she's been arrested 14 times for all. all these disruptions she's been part of. just stop oil, insulate, insulate britain, extinction rebellion, just flying from one, to save the fines. >> only up to , well, just under >> only up to, well, just under a grand. i mean, she's earned it, hasn't she? she really has. yeah >> 14 times arrested, several months of suspended , jail months of suspended, jail sentence every monday . she's sentence every monday. she's doing community service and half
2:23 am
a half of this grant has been already crowdsourced through gofundme, apparently. but now she's asking the to public pay the rest of the money. in italian, we say, if you are the cause of your own problem, you should regret your own choices , should regret your own choices, i don't know what's great saying we should start that here. >> yeah. fair enough. but the ironic thing is, she's been sentenced to do 280 hours of unpaid community work pumping gas, which is absolutely savage punishment, but very funny. >> she's not repentant at all, is she? she's absolutely playing the victim. >> maybe she should have. primal moved out the road . that could moved out the road. that could have been. >> i think that's a great idea, yeah, absolutely . vie. i find yeah, absolutely. vie. i find the sense of entitlement is just shocking. the mum of two delayed 48,000 vehicles, including police and ambulances. i mean, that is, i would be so ashamed. >> i kids are just like, please, can we just have dinner for once 7 can we just have dinner for once ? come home, get out of the road. >> okay, a story to make me nostalgic for the west country in the times. now, jonathan, though you're scottish. >> hello .
2:24 am
>> hello. >> hello. >> i'm cressida, obviously not. you mixing me up with leo kearse ' 7 m. again? >> yes. that's right. okay. women treated like toys at young farmer club. so suggestive slogans have been on t shirts at young farmer events, which women have described as having no rules but expectations of sex, drugs and alcohol sounds a bit raucous. so abby kay, a deputy editor at farmers weekly magazine, which i'm a big fan of, has accused the clubs of treating women like toys and failing to hold young men accountable for their behaviour. so incidents of sexual assaults appear to be commonplace at club events, she wrote. and women had reported being grabbed and groped at their parties. come on, boys, don't be a grabbing and a groping that is not really and a groping that is not really an acceptable thing to do anymore. it's not 2008. sort yourselves out and stop. stop grabbing and groping. but well, this article says that what's going on at these events is tantamount to sexual assault, which could have a ten year prison sentence. >> yes . >> yes. >> yes. >> do you think that's appropriate for getting just in their head, to be honest with you? because if this is what is happening, all those ladies and girls can simply leave the
2:25 am
party, report it to the authorities. i just think she's not fun at parties. and, you know, i've said that repeatedly. in this day and age, we can no longer allow the patriarchy to tell women what to do with their bodies. are you saying earlier, less attractive women to tell other women what to do with their bodies ? she's talking their bodies? she's talking about girls in these parties having the word . can we say the having the word. can we say the word slut? well, you just did. >> on their arms say that i apologise. >> it's not like she's apologised profusely as well. >> but if it is in the article. so i mean, they haven't been branded against their will. i mean it might be raucous or rowdy or whatever. it might not be very classy, but but these are young farmers. can they have are young farmers. can they have a bit of fun? they wake up at 4:00 in the morning and producing in their defence. >> the animals don't normally say no, so they don't really know. they can't read signals. >> horrible stereotype about the west country. and it's not just the west country, it's the rural areas generally. i would push back on what nicholas has said in that some of these slogans are absolutely outrageous . are absolutely outrageous. somebody was wearing at are absolutely outrageous. somebody was wearing a t shirt with a slogan that said, i can run faster horny than you can
2:26 am
scared, which is clearly unacceptable, but i would still say can't say dangerous . yes you say can't say dangerous. yes you would. what? >> i'd hate to sprint if i was aroused. that sounds horribly dangerous, but this is the farmer who is wearing that shirt. >> or the lady in question. >> or the lady in question. >> i think it's a male, but the point is that none of these things for me meet the threshold of needing the authorities to step in, and i personally think it's a cultural thing that should be managed privately, particularly by the women. she talks in this article about getting the organisation to step up. she says that the clubs are failing to hold young men accountable for their behaviour. well, maybe they are, but also the women are failing to hold the women are failing to hold the men accountable. >> yeah, maybe women are. maybe women like this kind of. i doubt that the guy in that t shirt is going to get many dates in these parties. okay, so yeah, well, that's a great point, isn't it? >> we often label somebody a predator when really they're a loser. that is quite common. yeah. >> my fbi female body inspector t shirt did not help at all. it was a very lonesome teenage decade. >> but finally , in this section, >> but finally, in this section, we're in the guardian for yet
2:27 am
more bad news for anyone planning to get ill any time sooi'i. 500“. >> soon. >> so from the health care system, which some people still call the envy of the world, a rise in hospital corridor care is national emergency, union warns. so this is essentially the royal college of nursing. but not just them . the other one but not just them. the other one is the royal college of emergency medicine that represents the a&e, doctors . so represents the a&e, doctors. so corridor care is becoming a thing, and increasingly so people being treated or even left in corridors , in storage left in corridors, in storage rooms, in car parks of the hospital and of course, the risks are multifold. they can be forgotten. there's no machinery, machines or, oxygen and also a question of dignity, people being, under people being examined, you know, with intimate examinations in corridors, people being told they have cancer in public spaces. so there's a lot of detail in here about why it's not good to be treated in a corridor. >> well, i think we all know
2:28 am
that. >> but imagine having a corridor colonoscopy. that would be absolutely outrageous. >> well, i hope that that doesn't happen . i wonder whether doesn't happen. i wonder whether this is a move towards the nhs not being free because these places are getting clogged up, aren't they? with with things that, well, one of the moves is, is to have more gp appointments to try and keep people out of the hospitals in the first place. >> i think it's too much immigration, if you ask me. what, brilliant. >> okay , we've got to move on. >> okay, we've got to move on. >> okay, we've got to move on. >> that's the end of part two, but join us after the break for news of censorship, german and adhd meds. see
2:31 am
welcome back to headliners. starting this section with the daily mail and some news about censorship. jonathan >> yeah. one of my least favourite kinds of ship, if i'm honest , what favourite kinds of ship, if i'm honest, what would be a worse ship? dictatorship. and a cruise ship? dictatorship. and a cruise ship i once got from southampton. so full of the hoi
2:32 am
polloi. right. so libraries removed books, including david mckee's three monsters and fungus the bogeyman by raymond bhggs fungus the bogeyman by raymond briggs. after a single complaint, and experts warn of creeping censorship. so experts have warned that this censorship is growing and the number of books have been removed following complaints . it's following complaints. it's because libraries have considered them offensive, so these banned books include raymond briggs, fungus the bogeyman, jules verne's five weeks in a balloon and victor appleton tom swift series , and appleton tom swift series, and doctor seuss the jew in a shoe, which is an absolute classic , which is an absolute classic, may have made that one up. so, i mean, i think this kind of censorship is very dangerous, i don't think we should be sort of rewriting the problematic language of old books. i mean, you just accept that these are from a different era, and this is what was written at the time. i don't think we should have some kind of revisionist take on, you know , history, i mean, on, you know, history, i mean, they've even come for charlie and the chocolate factory , which and the chocolate factory, which my favourite childhood book. so, you know, for the oompa loompas , you know, for the oompa loompas, instead of being described as short orange savages, they're now described as essex girls. and then, and then augustus gloop instead of being described
2:33 am
as enormously fat and disgusting, he's now described as essex girls. it's political correctness gone mad. it's outrageous, it is outrageous. but i don't think we should change the books. >> that's my i was with you until i read some of the examples, which i won't be repeating here because they're, well, that tells you all you need to know. they're not things that i would say. i was amazed that i would say. i was amazed that some of these examples were still in books. i thought this stuff had all had all gone. nicholas >> well, i mean, what what makes me, chuckle if you like . me, chuckle if you like. >> sometimes you are watching channel 4 or other outlets, presumably, and before a movie. there's a warning this movie reflects the language and attitudes of its time. and i asked myself, well, don't all movies do that ? you're watching movies do that? you're watching pearl harbour and it says, yeah, some language that might be, yeah, of course, these americans are being bombarded by the japanese without any, much of a declaration of war, and they can't call them japs or something. you know, it's of course, same same holds for books. course, same same holds for books . and what i find funny books. and what i find funny here, david mckee's three
2:34 am
monsters. the questionable question, says science about which the complaint was launched. is this one. the second monster says we don't want any funny foreigner types here. it's a monster. we want an inclusive monster . inclusive monster. >> yeah. okay. >> yeah. okay. >> yeah, that sounds like a sample i was going for. so then we've been talking about hate speech a lot lately, the problem, i suppose the problem here is that there's only one complaint, and 16 books have just gone, so to jonathan's point, you know, certainly that's a good example for me. that's a grey area. i know that it would offend some people, but i can live with that. >> we no longer have any backbones. so one complaint and they don't want to deal with it. so the library just says, you know what, i don't want any headaches. so let's get get . headaches. so let's get get. >> and these aren't contemporary books being written. these are old, old books which are just the sort of, you know, snapshot of the time, really. one lady said that, i must admit, i was rather shocked that the world was that these words were still being printed in an edition of the book from 2012. a lot of these classic books from the 70s have had such offensive words removed in later editions. now
2:35 am
that we know better. oh, do you you know better, do you? well bucko, i tell you this, you don't know better. maybe you don't know better. maybe you don't . maybe they do. maybe they don't. maybe they do. maybe they don't. maybe they do. maybe they don't. i don't know what would jordan peterson say? >> he would say , read 12 rules >> he would say, read 12 rules for life and behave. moving to on the telegraph and a controversial survey from the german state broadcaster, nicholas german, state tv asks viewers if team, that's their national football team needs more white players. >> surprise, surprise, 21% have said yes, which i think in truth would be higher. but we have a lot of shy germans who would have wanted more white people in their team. you know , a european their team. you know, a european national tournament. well, i mean, is it racism or is it just representation? well, because when the shoe is on the other foot , it's a very strange foot, it's a very strange question to ask, isn't it? >> why on earth would you start asking these questions? >> but it has to be broadcast these things through the prism of race before anything else. >> but they've done it , i think, >> but they've done it, i think, for some research purposes. and of course, this is a big issue in germany, a lot of strange things or interesting things
2:36 am
have happened over the past few days in germany. you know, the mannheim attack, where the police went after the guy , the police went after the guy, the citizen who had immobilised the attacker , immobilised the attacker, immobilised the citizen, and then the attacker came and stabbed the police to death. so that's one thing, speaking of german football team adidas has banned , stopped adidas has banned, stopped selling the shirt with number 44 because 44 stylised is written in a way that reminds people of ss. apparently it was popular among some germans. >> i think you have to. have you seen that image, jonathan? the 44. you have to, you have to have these things in your own mind in order to project them. i would have just seen a 44 personally. >> i mean, you look like my parents arguing, and i don't know why that is so. >> yeah, but the thing is, when we have too much wokeism and too much, too much, you know, this this unabating incessant attack on the national identity of all european nations . england. no european nations. england. no exception. there is a backlash. and again , representation means and again, representation means people like to see their own
2:37 am
kind in the team . why is that? kind in the team. why is that? we constantly say, oh, why don't we have enough black race car drivers, enough black opera singers, enough? because black people go to the movies to watch a black james heale. if i watch basketball, i don't count how many white people are there, how many white people are there, how many black people are there? but if it's a rule and if it's something , positive, then it something, positive, then it should be, you know, it should be, afforded to native germans as well . as well. >> absolutely. we're in the daily mail now, and it seems beautiful food is in the tongue of the diner. jonathan. >> well, i've actually not been able to taste anything since the pandemic. >> how many vaccines did you have? >> well, well, it wasn't the vaccine or covid. i was just very bored. so i put a french banger up my nose and now i can't really taste anything but it was a it was a very bleak yeah it was a it was a very bleak year. so now doctors are warning of ozempic tongue, the latest bizarre symptom of weight loss drug. so ozempic users have been complaining of weird changes to their sense of taste while taking the weight loss drug, particularly when it comes to sweet treats. and now scientists in europe believe they have found what's causing this. so basically, a study showed that
2:38 am
if you're taking semaglutide, which is like the really fashionable weight loss drug that everyone is taking, it can affect a gene that is sensitive. can your gene be in your tongue? well, it affects a gene which is involved in taste , so basically involved in taste, so basically this kind of makes sense to me if you're changing your, your essentially your hormonal profile, there are you are going to perceive the world differently. like, i know that when i'm ovulating , i find men when i'm ovulating, i find men with strong jaws way more attractive. so that's basically been my experience. so yeah, there's no such thing as a free lunch. >> even johnson is doing half his routine here. the half he couldn't do back at the american chat show, isn't it? >> it's a lot of fun, yes. no. you're absolutely right. of course, hormones do affect the way we feel. definitely women be cray fans tastic news that you can do something to make sugar taste better, more sugary. so presumably we can eat less sugan presumably we can eat less sugar. it sounds great, but the irony is that this is a weight loss drug which makes people feel sugar more strongly or that's what you want. so you can now you can eat a minimal amount of sugar and think you've eaten more. there's people turning
2:39 am
down doughnuts and stuff because they're going, whoa, it's just too sweet. these are the same people that became obese because they weren't. oh, it's sweet. >> it sounds like a win win. i think you're right. >> that's an interesting way to look a medical miracle. >> moving to on the metro again. now, and we're doing a story about opening pandora's box in the jungle. nicholas. >> a remote tribe was given the internet for the first time. here's how it's gone. how do you think it's gone? so this is thanks to, elon musk's, satellite internet service, starlink. for the first time, it has been provided to this very primitive. can we say that nowadays , previously, like. yeah nowadays, previously, like. yeah marubo people in the depths of remote amazon, and the results ? remote amazon, and the results? well, same as we could have expected. a lot of chatting , a expected. a lot of chatting, a lot of watching football, streaming social media anxiety and addiction, a bit of pornography and a lot less hunting and getting on with your work. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> ways of the white man, an
2:40 am
elderly lady has described it, and, of course, looks like they have received a famous email from the nigerian prince with $10 million in exchange for 10,000 administration fees. so, scams have also become quite rife. >> it's brutal. they've been they've been thrown into the super stimulus without having any sort of, you know, historical preparation to it. it's just here is all the information, all the worst parts of human nature and the best parts just thrown at you at once. but weirdly, do you know what the most popular website is? amazon >> that was a joke. >> that was a joke. >> fantastic. it was a joke , but >> fantastic. it was a joke, but yeah, everything you just said, it's just like here, isn't it? presumably testosterone is going down. people aren't doing what they should be doing with their lives. and it says here that that one of the things they were able to do, to make a more positive impact was to reduce the number of hours, which is exactly what we're always talking about, already ahead of us in managing one of them by the t shirt, which said, i can run faster horny than you scale . run faster horny than you scale. that was a really nice in this
2:41 am
section. let's concentrate on this story in the guardian. now, jonathan. >> yes, adhd, does medication work ? well, i can't stop work? well, i can't stop grinding my teeth, i know that. so around 3 to 4% of adults in the uk have adhd , according to the uk have adhd, according to the uk have adhd, according to the national institute for health and care excellence. and 5% of children now the charity adhd uk says there are thought to be 2.6 million, with the condition in the country and 80% do not have a diagnosis and only 200,000 are getting the medication that they supposedly need. now i'm in two minds about this, i'm all for a magic pill that increases the quality of your life, makes your concentration better, allows you to function more successfully in the world. but at the same time, i'm always a little bit sceptical when it comes to medical izing and effectively giving a variant of methamphetamine to children, because a lot of these kids do grow out of it and they either have emotional problems, which can be worked on through, you know, talking therapy and that kind of thing rather than just throwing chemicals at it. now, i did buy a book by gabor mate
2:42 am
about adhd, but unfortunately i didn't read it because i am, i am i've got it. >> adhd, not the book. both both brilliant, nicholas, any thoughts on this? >> well, over medication, you know, we were talking about, south park in the break, and i remember that episode well, in america, every other tv ad is for a drug. and they were giving ritalin to kids so they could concentrate. and they ended up going to phil collins concerts . going to phil collins concerts. well, i like phil collins for clarity, i must say, but but yeah, well, keep taking the meds, that's the end of part three. join us in the final section for news about grimsby's makeover, japan's killer bears, a very naughty stag. see you

2:51 am
funny. they didn't like it. and then the police got involved and they and they find him . now, they and they find him. now, a lot of locals have been complaining that they haven't actually bothered to catch the drug dealers who are the real blasphemy within the town. but, yeah. so that's still a thing. you can get arrested for blasphemy. >> well , once it says blasphemy, >> well, once it says blasphemy, the article the other place says, public decorum. now what i don't understand and a stag do, by definition, is to enjoy the last liberties before getting marriage. marriage? so why is he carrying the cross? which is the ultimate metaphor for, you know, consternation and suffering because you are going to get married in a few days? well, that's actually you will have the cross to bear. yeah. it's ironic. >> i had a friend who's getting married and they suggested having u2's. i still haven't found what i'm looking for as the first dance, nice . the first dance, nice. >> i don't know, maybe, i don't know what the bride went out as. what's the female equivalent of jesus? >> mary magdalene going out. >> mary magdalene going out. >> there you go. >> there you go. >> yeah, that would be having a good time. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> true. >> true. >> okay, the show is nearly oven >> okay, the show is nearly over, so let's take another quick look at tuesday's front pages. the daily mail has rishi's darkest hour. the times

2:53 am
the rest of today , we can expect the rest of today, we can expect some wet weather pushing its way in as we go into tomorrow. that's an association with a feature currently out in the atlantic , and it's heading its atlantic, and it's heading its way towards the uk. for the time being though, we are going to have a lot of dry weather as we go through the rest of this evening and overnight. some places will see some clear skies developing, but many areas sticking with largely cloudy skies and then rain pushing its way in initially across parts of northern ireland but reaching far western parts of scotland, england and wales later on. because of the largely cloudy skies, temperatures not dropping a huge amount but some places under the clear skies could just about drop into single figures. if we take a closer look at what will be happening first thing tomorrow morning, and it's a generally fine picture across many southern southeastern parts. yes, a bit of cloud across east anglia , but on the across east anglia, but on the whole a dry story here. different picture further north and west though. rain across northern ireland, northwest england, parts of wales and also a large chunk of scotland as well, waking up to a pretty wet start as that wet weather pushes its way in eastern scotland. maybe clinging on to some fine weather for a little bit longer.
2:54 am
but across far northern parts of scotland here there will be some hefty showers around and some of these could turn pretty heavy, possibly even thundery as we go through the day, the rain is gradually going to make its way south eastwards, but southeastern parts of the country likely to stay pretty dry by the time the system arrives here, it will have broken up so much that i'm only expecting 1 or 2 spots of rain. if anything. and in the southeast, temperatures still on the warm side , highs of around the warm side, highs of around 2223 celsius, but something markedly fresher towards the northwest. behind the front, as we look into wednesday, it is going to be a showery day, particularly towards the north and west. that's where the showers are coming from. some of them could be heavy, possibly even thundery, maybe even a little bit of snow over the highest ground of scotland. but further south it's looking dry and brighter. a similar picture on thursday, but i think by friday the showers are going to be a bit more widespread by by a brighter outlook with boxt solar sperm . sperm. >> answers of weather on
