by his actions when it comes him by his actions when it comes to supporting the armed forces . to supporting the armed forces. >> reflection. that was a mistake and i apologise . i think mistake and i apologise. i think it's important though, given the enormity of the sacrifice made, that we don't politicise this. the focus should rightly be on the veterans who gave so much. i had the honour and privilege of speaking to many of them and their families, hearing their stories, expressing my gratitude personally to them. but i'm someone who will always admit when i've made a mistake . that's when i've made a mistake. that's what you'll always get from me. >> rishi sunak, they're speaking earlier. well, in other news today, lord david cameron has been targeted by a hoax video call with someone who said they were the former president of ukraine. the foreign secretary shared messages and spoke to someone claiming to be petro poroshenko. the foreign office has said tonight that david cameron became suspicious after the conversation, with an investigation confirming that it wasn't genuine. officials say they are now making the news pubuc they are now making the news public today in case that video recording from the call may be

damian slash. how's it going? i know it's crazy you've come dressed as angela rayner. >> how dare you? >> how dare you? >> no , i've just come. >> no, i've just come. >> no, i've just come. >> i thought i'd wear a splash of red. >> yeah, yeah, she's a trendsetter or you're the trendsetter or you're the trendsetter for her. >> i think she turned up to that debate and she looked at her colleagues and she thought, this needs some colour. >> yes. >> yes. >> she put a splash in. >> she put a splash in. >> there's a danger. you start saying the tories are disgusting . and that's the only danger. >> well, you'll be pleased to hear i've been working on back here. starbury presents. i'll be bringing that out today where we get to that story. but, no, we're wearing the, gb news colours here. >> we're going together. >> we're going together. >> that was good. >> that was good. >> we're going to recreate the whole debate tonight, guys, but in a humorous way. but first we've got to do the front pages. so let's have a look at those. we've got the daily mail, which has vanished. doctor mosley did a wrong turn lead to disaster. the guardian has furious tories turn on sunak over d—day snub. the telegraph. sunak to axe stamp duty for first time buyers. the times mordaunt hits out at completely wrong pm the eye tories in despair as sunak d—day gaffe destroys election hopes. d—day gaffe destroys election

hopes . the financial d—day gaffe destroys election hopes. the financial times has sunak accused of handing gifts to reform by skipping d—day event. and those were the front pages. event. and those were the front pages . so event. and those were the front pages. so what event. and those were the front pages . so what have the event. and those were the front pages. so what have the guardian gone with christina? >> furious tories turn on sunak over d—day snub. so rishi sunak went home early from the d—day celebrations in france, leaving other world leaders to have their photos taken together. those photos will last forever, of course, rishi, and you won't be in them. you can't get added on, you can't get added on later. can't you? nowadays? but anyway, so he's provoked fury among conservative grassroots after he was forced to apologise for skipping the crucial part of the d—day celebrations, tory officials said. internal party whatsapp groups were full of horrified responses. i bet they were. i bet it was like an episode of the thick of it today they're all texting each other saying how could he, it's somebody has said it's extraordinary. another has said, gobsmacking another one saying, no one is even trying to defend

this . and it's not clear really this. and it's not clear really why he did it. because what he came back for was a pre—recorded interview that isn't even going out on itv. >> he stayed for the british part, but left before the international part. it's a kind of equivalent of a football fan getting out early to beat traffic. why did he do it, damian? do we know? well it's like, it just seems to be just another adage to the pursuit of less than zero seats, whatever they can do. >> it's like having cobra meetings to try and work out how to bring their numbers down all the time. yeah, but i mean, it's just it's also symptomatic of, i think, of rishi sunak and out of touch brand. it's like he spends so much time in glass offices. it sort of lost a sense of what means anything anymore. >> it's like leaving or whatever you're saying now, by the way, you're saying now, by the way, you just locked in a storm in my head. well, i'll try and keep it in my own voice, but, that's horribly good. >> it's like. >> it's like. >> it's like leaving your dad's funeral . you go make a tiktok video. >> you've probably got at least five years of work as well with

that. that's very true, but you're right. i mean, to the left, this is a it's an easy one. it's a soft ball because he's out of touch. they always say, look completely out of touch, rich and on the right. they say unpatriotic, you know, doesn't value our history and culture, which farage has basically already said. so it's a slam dunk for both sides. and you wonder what was going through his mind. he is a sort of managerial type. he doesn't. it doesn't seem natural at these kind of gesture politics. farage is the king of this kind of thing and sunak is terrible at it. starmer just tends to do enough. he just shows up, does the basics to look patriotic. but the amazing thing to me as well is that cameron was all over it. so cameron is already known as the kind of pm abroad because he's seen as the international pm. we did a story on this a few weeks ago, and now he's there in all the photos. and sunak's not there to the point where some people are saying, did he? does he want cameron to be the next leader or something? is this done on purpose or has he just let cameron dominate the event? >> well, i think it's like i don't imagine he does think in those in that kind of level of detail. and also you have to remember he's been there for hours. he keeps saying, but i did all the other bits, i did all the other bits. so maybe he feels like, well, i have been there a lot of time. i've done a

lot of bits and pieces like, yeah, but you missed the important bit. rishi. >> well, it's kind of like the way i thinks. it doesn't think. isupposeit way i thinks. it doesn't think. i suppose it just kind of aggregates information and then makes a decision based on what people have put into it. it seems like he's in a room. advisers have said, oh, you need to go and do this interview. and he's like, all right, i'm just going to leave this 80 year anniversary d—day celebration to go and do an interview with itv that nobody's ever going to watch. i mean, it's borderline psychotic behaviour. yeah you're right, it's a kind of it's a cold, utilitarian calculation where he just said, i've got a busy campaign and i do sympathise with that part. >> i don't think he's a bad guy or anything. he's just totally missed the significance of this, especially with the veterans being old and everyone saying this will be their last one and so forth. he's completely missed the significance of it. people like ed davey are jumping on it saying, oh, he doesn't care. and so that's a bit opportunistic for me, but it does. it is bad. it looks bad. it both is bad. morally and it looks bad. yeah. >> it's i mean the conservative party train has gone beyond derailment. now it's kind of heading towards the mariana trench . and then, you know, the trench. and then, you know, the core of the planet and

eventually be evaporated by the magma core. >> well, let's do a bit more on that, because i think the times have a story on the tories as well. >> oh, yes. well, this is the next story mordaunt hits out at completely wrong prime minister sunak seeks to cut stamp duty after d—day gaffe. so mordaunt's now you know stuck the knife in in the debate on top of one of the senior advisers quitting as well, which we'll see in another story. i mean, the whole thing is falling apart. as i said, the train's derailed. it's gone into the fields. it is still going very fast, but it's going in the wrong direction. and yeah, i mean, mordaunt said it was completely wrong and that's the story in a nutshell. but sunak has now announced that he's going to cut stamp duty. so i mean, if you've got £1 million, you can now buy a house without paying you can now buy a house without paying that tax on it, which is great. >> yeah, that's one way out of it. i mean, i watched a decent chunk of the debate. i was shocked at how penny approached it. she was like he was completely wrong. he said that it was terrible. he was like, all right, calm down, buddy. look, she was there to represent sunak, but she made it sound like she was. you sort of thought she was thinking about her future. well, saying how it

was wrong, but there's ways of saying it was wrong. yeah, well, yes. >> and obviously she comes from a military background, so maybe it's something that's just very, very important to her personally. other people are saying maybe it is because she wants to be the leader in future. i don't know. >> yeah. i mean, did you see enough of the debate to think who won it? because we've all got to be very balanced because it's the election period. i personally thought rayner seemed nervous at first. apparently she came through later. i thought morton did pretty well under the circumstances. farage you couldn't help but feel the. and this is my objective view. it's not my gb news the audience seems stacked against him because they didn't clap at anything he said . meanwhile, the anything he said. meanwhile, the snp guy just said, oh, migration is great and everyone just clapped. and then later he was like, oh, brexit bad . furious like, oh, brexit bad. furious round of applause. so it seemed like one of those bbc audiences because he's a controversial figure. >> some people might behave like that in a public setting, regardless of their thoughts, mightn't they? it's not. i mean, like recently he was on there and every time he he'd make some kind of significant mic drop point and it didn't get any reaction. right. >> you don't think it's the bbc just grabbed the audience from the canteen of the bbc?

>> well, i mean, people are scared to clap for nigel farage. i mean, and of course, you know, 26% of the polls are in favour of him now , so, i mean, you'd of him now, so, i mean, you'd expect maybe 20% or even 10% to clap, but i think people are terrified of being seen to support him, especially in the bbc building. >> he made a point. and then i heard one, you know, the one clap where somebody thinks everyone's going in and then, oh no, just me just cut. >> yeah, yeah. so it's kind of like the opposite of you make me think it's the opposite of stalin's applause. you know, you couldn't stop applauding for stalin or you'd be something would happen to you. you'd be disappeared. you can't start applauding for farage. all right, well, let's do the telegraph here. i think you alluded to this story already, damian. but, cressida, we have the stamp duty story. >> sunak to acas stamp duty for first time buyers, so tories look to change election dynamic as pm apologises for early d—day departure. mentioning that again. so he's now saying that first time buyers will be able to buy a property up to the value of £425,000 without having to worry about stamp duty . that to worry about stamp duty. that seems like quite a lot of money

to me for a first time buyer, so. well done then. and this is on the same day that starmer has now said he's going to back 5% mortgages. so they're both kind of got their wares out for first time buyers. >> now all we need is some first time buyers. and of course, if you've looked at the property market, i mean, i don't know who's got enough money to be a first time buyer. so i guess it's great if you're coming over from dubai or china and you want to buy something, but for everyone else it's kind of meaningless . meaningless. >> yeah. so we've got the policies in place now. we just need the actual money that will be good. all right. that is a front page is dealt with. but coming up reform uk continues to gain on the tories joe apologises to zelenskyy and sophia starmer. is he scared of the bbc?

welcome back to headliners. i'm nate dixon, still here with cressida wetton, aka the thinking man's angela rayner and damian slash . so let's crack on damian slash. so let's crack on with the mail. and how the tories facing an existential threat from reform uk . threat from reform uk. >> damian well, according to the daily mail, now reform overtakes the tories among over 55 in latest polling blow for rishi sunak as nigel farage plans to attack pm over d—day. >> disappearing act in tv debate tonight . so >> disappearing act in tv debate tonight. so in this age group above 55, a new poll has shown that reform have actually overtaken the tories. so i mean, it's only like week two or something. so, quite scary for the conservative party but, yeah, that's the kind of long and short of the story. although

in the slightly older, older group 65 over that, that margin does not exist. so it is in a particular margin between 55 and 65. it would seem right . 65. it would seem right. >> so for reform, just need to keep encroaching on older and older people and capture the really old vote. but i know you mean they're sticking with the tories. it is shocking though. i mean, you've basically got a party who the critique of them, of course, is that they don't have any policies and they're new. they're accompany. it's just basically the farage show and whatever he wants to say . and whatever he wants to say. and already they're polling so well, i mean, 19% of retirees compared to the conservatives, 17. that is extraordinary. >> yeah. well, as you say, what you just call it the farage, show. show. yeah. this survey says it was carried out after mr farage performed a stunning u—turn and announced he'd be standing for election. so so the reading, the title, you think, oh, this is going to be about d—day again. they've slipped up andifs d—day again. they've slipped up and it's caused reform to go ahead. no reform began to make gains when farage came back. >> yeah. and it's interesting that it's the gen xers it seems. i think 55 would still be

classed as gen x, not boomer. so the boomers are staying with the tories, and the gen xers are the ones who are joining the insurgency. it would seem. >> oh, interesting. yeah. maybe that crosses over 55 to 64. that's like gets into early boomer. but yeah. >> but of course nigel himself is technically a borderline gen x. >> so maybe that's something to do with it. >> yeah he might have that appeal. i mean, the challenge for reform is they get massive amounts of votes. they may get massive amounts of votes, but it's distributed throughout the whole country. so they struggle to get seats. whereas like the lib dems, they don't necessarily get that many votes, but they've managed to target them. and even laboun managed to target them. and even labour, they're targeted in cities. and so on. so they, you know, they can't get obliterated in a way that can happen to some parties. and the tories. i mean, they found it in 1834, to my knowledge, the most successful political party in europe is an incredible how quickly they're just crumbling . or are we just crumbling. or are we getting carried away and they're going to rally before the election? >> well, they do have a good balance. >> they'd better be quick. >> they'd better be quick. >> they'd better be quick. >> they well, they do have a kind of a incredible ability to kind of a incredible ability to kind of a incredible ability to kind of reanimate from, you know, the edge of destruction . know, the edge of destruction. but, you know, it's look, i mean, i've never seen anything

like this . and, you know, this like this. and, you know, this could all be the success of reform could actually just be the failure of the conservative party. it could it could actually it might not be success at all. it's a bit like how, in at all. it's a bit like how, in a way, keir starmer is polling so well for the same reason . i so well for the same reason. i mean, if the conservative party is imploding into a singularity , is imploding into a singularity, if it's, you know, if it's a wave functions collapsing , yeah. wave functions collapsing, yeah. then something's going to fill that, that gap and it's going to be labour and it's going to be whoever else rushes in. so it's hard to say whether it's everyone suddenly loves nigel farage or whether everyone's just can't, cannot take any more of the clown show. >> yeah, it definitely seems to be a large element of that . so be a large element of that. so the lib dems could even end up as the party of opposition, which would be completely bonkers as well. something very new is happening in my lifetime anyway. in many people's lifetimes we could have tories, then a new second party, you know, sorry, labour and a new second party which could be lib dem or even reform madness, i don't know. let's see. and there's a feeling people don't have anything to lose because labour are going to win anyway. so you may as well vote farage. that seems to be the feeling.

>> well, yeah, it's almost certainty. >> yeah. all right. well let's do the telegraph and the continued fallout from sunak's d—day gaffe. >> chris skudder senior tory adviser quits over sunak's show of disrespect for d—day . so this of disrespect for d—day. so this is ian acheson, an adviser to michael gove, who says the pm's decision to leave normandy event was either colossal stupidity or cynical calculation . i don't cynical calculation. i don't really see how it could be cynical calculation. i mean, what's he calculating ? what's he calculating? >> yeah, i'll do something really bad for me in my party. >> hmm'hmm genius about that. >> hmm'hmm genius about that. >> yeah, so this guy, he's a former prison governor, and, i think he's saying this , that think he's saying this, that today's events were the straw that broke the camel's back. yeah, he's in his his letter. he says either way, this is whether it was cynical or stupidity. it revealed to me that while i still embrace a conservative philosophy, i'm no longer willing to have it outsourced to a bunch of mendacious, incompetent and disrespectful disreputable clowns. country before party always. so i think he's just a very fed up conservative who doesn't feel like there is anything

conservative in the conservatives if he's using language like that, and he was an advisor to michael gove, i mean, imagine how the rest of the country is feeling. >> well, exactly. yeah. i mean, it's amazing how many people are running with this d—day thing. i mean, it really is. it is that gordon brown moment of the bigoted woman moment, and i cross my mind that even joe biden made it through the memorial. yes. >> and it's like he did have to exit at times suspiciously. but he did. >> he did make it. but if joe biden can get through the whole thing, you know, and rishi sunak the football playing rishi sunak, you'd think he could do it. >> yeah, but he's cruyff turns. i know he does seem to have a lot of energy, but yeah, i mean, in terms of the cynical calculation, i suppose he's saying the calculation to go and do an interview and cram in as much as you can to your election schedule and something like that. but yeah, it's a massive backfire. there's almost not much, much more to say about it. we covered it so much in the first section, but yes, i don't know. is there any element of like where people are just making political capital from it and they don't really care themselves and they're just being opportunistic? >> well, yeah . i mean, of course >> well, yeah. i mean, of course that's what they'd all do. what

made me laugh is that rishi's come out and said, no, come on, don't politicise, don't politicise this. >> it's just such a weak well, i mean, he literally politicised it. he went to do an interview. >> how could it not be. yes, exactly. >> i mean he actually politicised d—day by going to do a political interview. and now he's saying, oh, don't politicise it. i mean, it's, yeah, i mean, the mental gymnastics i'm having to do to let him off on that one. i'm doing backflips, although i have noficed doing backflips, although i have noticed starmer and if i'm out of date on this, the viewers can correct me. >> the last i checked, he actually has refrained from really taking advantage of it. and he's on the kind of classy thing of just saying, you know, you have to ask sunak he hasn't done that thing of leaping on it , which i think is probably quite a smart. >> well, exactly. he doesn't have to do anything at all. yeah.i have to do anything at all. yeah. i mean, he doesn't even have to do this. bbc interview. i've just got to sit it out. i don't need why should i? he's doing my campaigning for me. >> i was teeing you up there. we've got another one coming up because let's do the telegraph. and starmer is the only party leader who hasn't signed up for a bbc interview, leading to the rather amusing nickname sir keir starmer. >> i did the voice was just in

time , but so sir keir starmer is time, but so sir keir starmer is the only party leader not to sign up to a bbc interview. so the conservatives say the labour leader should grow a backbone as no date yet set to meet the presenter, nick robinson. i mean , yeah, i mean the usual conservative party tweets are going to come out because accusing him of being a coward for not doing it, but i mean, when he's already practically the prime minister based off the polls, i mean, he has the luxury of not having to do it . polls, i mean, he has the luxury of not having to do it. but of course, he can never answer a question directly. and so the moment they said to him, will you do an interview? it would have been, well, i can't answer that question directly. i'll get back to you about it a couple of weeks when i've decided what i'm going to do. >> i can't answer a question about whether i'm prepared to be asked questions. that's the meta level of evading questions. i can't say. so it could just be that i kind of do myself, though. go on. >> i just want to tell our radio listeners that we don't have sir keir starmer in studio. yeah, exactly. he doesn't have to. he doesn't have to . and charisma is doesn't have to. and charisma is not his strong suit in my opinion. so why would he. he can delay it then. great. we're in

extra time now aren't we? just don't let any other goals go in. >> yeah, well, yes, exactly. i mean , it's it seems i mean, mean, it's it seems i mean, they're accusing him of being scared, but the more they do that, the more scared they seem. and i mean, if they want to pull back some numbers, they've got to i think they have to stop this strategy because it just the bullets are not getting through the armour here. you know, it's just not working. >> yeah i mean that is a good point though. he has sort of no reason to do it. and this was why boris johnson evaded an interview with andrew neil. in the past, theresa may refused to debate jeremy corbyn because there was no reason to do it. so there was no reason to do it. so the famously adversarial style of the bbc and of people like nick robinson, you always look a bit stupid. it's whether you're going to look very stupid or just a bit stupid. that's the best you can do, isn't it? because there's such fierce questions, you just don't look good. so i wonder why anyone does them sometimes, but certainly starmer. no point him doing it. also, i like this nickname, sophia starmer, but i was so i quite like sebby's corner braverman that was a thing. and they tried to get it going. and boris johnson said it in the house of commons. sir

comet, to me it was hilarious, but it didn't really catch on. >> no, no, i mean it's i mean maybe ed miliband's ham sandwich might have caught on a bit more, but, you know, everyone likes beer and korma , so it's not beer and korma, so it's not because he was caught out, wasn't he? >> he was trying to say, i've been caught out in partygate, but you had a beer and a korma. severe korma. oh i see that stuff it didn't take on. i mean, it's in. starmer hasn't had his moment has he. you talked about the gordon brown moment and he's just avoided. he's just like avoided the landmines of any kind of i don't know what is woman. >> i mean that was me getting away with that, the people i surround myself with. but we were outraged by that . were outraged by that. >> well, i think i think because we're on a brink of world war iii and that kind of thing. i think people people are starting to kind of and of course, the, the cost of living inflation, all the rest of it and the fact that the country's just falling to pieces, that kind of that debate's kind of gone a little bit under the wayside now because everyone it's kind of become a bit existential for everyone. >> and it's one last thing i will mention, though, because i know people will shout at me otherwise. he was poor on the poppy otherwise. he was poor on the poppy thing, because some people i've seen today on twitter saying, well, hang on. starmer took off a poppy, seemingly to

address a muslims, you know , address a muslims, you know, when it was during the time he supposed to wear the poppy. so you go, that wasn't very patriotic perhaps starmer. so but he supposed to get away with it. he just gets away with it. >> yeah. and i mean that's something he could have a million excuses for anyway. so it's just it's this is not this is not a good line of attack for, for them at all. i don't think. all right. >> fair enough. let's do the guardian and pooping joe biden are some are now calling him onune are some are now calling him online has apologised to zelenskyy sinner . online has apologised to zelenskyy sinner. i'm online has apologised to zelenskyy sinner . i'm sorry, online has apologised to zelenskyy sinner. i'm sorry, is it mainly you? yeah. no i didn't i didn't write that. >> joe biden apologises to zelenskyy for delay in us military support. so he's publicly apologised to the ukrainian president for the months of delay in american military assistance that allowed russia to make gains on the battlefield. and he's now announced a further $225 million in military aid to the ukraine and zelenskyy is kind of shaking his hand, said, thanks very much. it could have been a bit quicker. i'm very grateful for it, i think. >> yeah, and it's really just it's not really an apology. of course. it's biden just saying, oh, the republicans stopped this going through. and so yeah,

that's what he's doing . exactly. that's what he's doing. exactly. >> yeah. a $200 million is nothing compared to the 68 billion they gave them just a few weeks ago . you know, it's few weeks ago. you know, it's like it's piecemeal. and the truth is there's no limit to how much money ukraine is going to need. how many artillery shells they're going to need. and so 200 million is piecemeal anyway. so this is really just an opportunity for biden to show he's supporting zelenskyy. and i mean, it's yeah, i mean, i could talk a lot about zelenskyy and ukraine. i mean, in 2019, the guardian and the rest of the media were running stories about his offshore accounts and the panama papers and all that kind of thing, and all of that's just been completely forgotten. >> i'm impressed that biden remembered who zelenskyy is, though , to be fair, we've got to though, to be fair, we've got to be very fair about it. what do you think happened to biden just before the break when he left? you know, because there's rumours trump has already done a little video saying something happened. he sort of waddled off and there was this moment he kind of stooped over really weirdly. and people are saying either something happened that i don't want to say at 5 am, or he was looking for a chair that wasn't there. have you seen this

footage? >> yes, i have seen it. have you seen it? i mean, yeah, it was it was a good example of fake news. i mean, i wish i wish biden had been doing the thing they were saying he was doing, but actually he was just very, very slowly looking for his chair, which wasn't there . well, it was which wasn't there. well, it was there. it was just very far behind him. but eventually he found the chair and but the video was cut before that . so it video was cut before that. so it did look as if he was, you know, relieving himself . relieving himself. >> okay, we're going to be very fair. we don't to spread fake news. that is it for part two. but coming up, just stop oil ruin another wedding. the olympics bans harmful words, and germans are going to start smoking cannabis before driving. what could go wrong?

soon. welcome back to headliners. let's crack on with the telegraph. and just stop oil continued to target the heart of the global warming problem. posh people's weddings. damian. >> yeah . just up. oil protesters >> yeah. just up. oil protesters target duke and duchess of westminster's wedding. an nhs nurse and a care worker arrested after setting off fire extinguishers outside chester cathedral. i mean , yeah, it's cathedral. i mean, yeah, it's more of that stuff and i mean, right now again, people are very distracted from, say, the climate apocalypse. so this message is kind of i haven't even heard of this story before this, but i really hate , this, but i really hate, activists targeting personal events or people's homes or individuals. i don't like it. i don't like that the copenhagen prime minister has been attacked today. i don't like the nigel farage got a milkshake thrown in

his face. i don't like assaulting or humiliate people personally. and i think it's just crackers . and i think it just crackers. and i think it really damages, well, as if you could damage just apple's reputation even more. i think they've managed to do that. it's a bit like the zero seats campaign from the tories. it's exactly the same philosophy. how do we get people to absolutely despise us? you say that, but they're doing a great job of hiring 73 and 69 year olds. >> they weren't kids. these were older ladies, which is infuriating to me. >> yes. well, you can't mess with them. and they did. they took all of this orange painted extinguishers in these, those kind of. yeah. the shock. yeah. yeah, you can call them that or, you know, mobile shopping trolleys. and i mean, you would never expect someone to pull out a fire extinguisher full of orange paint from one of those, you know, you expect inside of a batman movie, you don't expect it. >> it's very joker esque tactic. it's like, who should we emulate? oh, i know the joker. he was popular , i mean, and the he was popular, i mean, and the link is so tenuous. weddings are a time of coming together in celebration to make a commitment to the future. and then it says, however, for countless millions around the world, there is no

future unless we come together to stop oil and gas. i mean, it's the most tenuous. >> absolutely. and then it turns out that the duke and duchess of westminster are into all the climate stuff anyway, and they do it in their charity work. they're all they pick the wrong people. i mean, they've got some footage, we're talking about it, some coverage, but no bad move. >> i mean, if they did it to someone who's actually already in just stop oil and they're like, oh, brilliant, thanks for ruining it. thanks for honouring our wedding. >> and i think fire extinguishers, they need a lot of rubber . they need a lot of of rubber. they need a lot of gas. they need a lot of steel. and all of those things require lots of coal and gas. so they've got to find a different, a more environmentally friendly way of doing these things because i mean, they're going they're the ones driving the oil prices up at this rate doing it so often. >> good point . they need to >> good point. they need to change a lot of things. i'll be honest, damian, i just i don't honest, damian, ijust i don't like them. one bit. just stop oil. yeah, they're just the worst . worst. >> it's the age that really. i mean, if you were 19 and you haven't really thought it through. all right, fair enough. but the truth is, these people have got through 6 or 7 decades of using plenty of oil. thank you very much. yes. and now at

the last minute , well, i just the last minute, well, i just yeah. no. very cynical . yeah. no. very cynical. >> all nothing. no. better. all right. let's do the independent and the worst thing to do to a conspiracy theorist is use the deep state to try and shut him down. cressida alex jones agrees to sell to agree to asset sell off. >> giving up infowars control to pay >> giving up infowars control to pay 1.5 billion to sandy hook families . so pay 1.5 billion to sandy hook families. so far, right conspiracist alex jones has finally agreed to liquidate his assets to pay the 1.5 billion he owes, and before i want to shout at us at home, you're quoting. >> i am quoting independent. that's not necessarily the view of gb news. well. or you. >> oh, possibly. yes, but that is what is in the independent, so he asked a judge to convert his bankruptcy into a chapter seven liquidation. obviously, that's our favourite type of liquidation. it all gets quite technical after this, but basically he's got to he's got to pay up. >> yeah. and he was targeted. i mean i don't know what you think, damian, but it was you know he said these things about sandy hook which were very ill advised . but then he has been

advised. but then he has been persecuted. some think, you know , by the system, whatever you call it. i mean, some might say this is a convenient timing dunng this is a convenient timing during the election cycle to take out one of trump's main advocates on a very popular platform . platform. >> well, they've been trying to take alex jones down for nearly a decade. i mean, you remember when google and the big tech companies are all in perfect synchronicity, took it, took down all his channels at once, and look , i don't i don't like and look, i don't i don't like what he said. and it's a civil case. they're suing him. they're entitled to do that. he lost. so he has to kind of he has to bite the bullet on that, but there's i mean , the fact that it's1.5 i mean, the fact that it's1.5 billion, i mean, that's more than biden's giving to ukraine in that latest announcement. it's more than, more money than he has. yeah. and i mean, it doesit he has. yeah. and i mean, it does it does look like it has it is the weaponization of the judicial system to some extent. but at the same time, you know, he, he, he messed around and found out to an extent. so and i just i'm not worried about alex jones. i think he'll be fine. yeah. >> just on the amounts. i mean,

someone else pointed out on twitter, quite interestingly, that the city of uvalde or this is a city. yeah, uvalde had to pay 2 is a city. yeah, uvalde had to pay 2 million. >> 2 million. and people are saying that they caused not caused, but but their neglect of how they should have sorted it out . yeah. they should have got out. yeah. they should have got in there quicker. yeah. people are accusing them. so they're saying they've got blood on their hands. yeah. >> and 19 children died whereas alex jones merely commented on it and it's1.5 billion. so it does seem a lot. one other thing i might question is the independent citing a infowars of misinformation and conspiracy theories site. some of them turn out to be right. i mean, he did predict he did pretty much predict he did pretty much predict 911. he even mentioned bin laden before it even happened. whereas the independent, i'd like to stack it up against their record of, well, it's roughly the same as the mainstream media. >> i mean, i was thinking he could just come out and say, you know, i'm a conspiracy. my ranch is a conspiracy. >> it's all a conspiracy theory by the globalists. i do not exist. i am not real. yeah. >> and just just disappear. >> and just just disappear. >> i can tell you, i've watched the show a lot, which is the main thing. >> well, it's all over twitter, isn't it? >> yeah, yeah yeah, yeah. and

your twitter, because you keep searching it. guy anker. >> well he's, i think he's not doing that, but he is suggesting that people turn up and make a human ring around his office when they come for him. yeah. >> that's what i'll be suggesting when people come for me here. >> well, both your followers know i'm joking, yeah. he's gone a bit trump, hasn't he? he's gone sort of. he's he's like he's calling out to he's got until the 14th of june, to operate his business without any trouble. and in that time, it's like he's trying to create as much, anger in his fans. >> yes, but he did cry about it on there the other day and literally cry and say, they're trying to destroy us. >> i mean, ultimately, as long as he can afford a phone, his platform is not going to disappear. that's the thing. you can take it all away, but he'll still be on x, talking away. so too to big cancel. >> all right, well, let's do the times. and germans will now be allowed to smoke cannabis before driving. hitler will be spinning in his grave . david. in his grave. david. >> i mean, this is this, this, this this story is just absolutely remarkable. i don't know, it's a remarkable story . know, it's a remarkable story. germans are allowed to smoke cannabis before driving. under new law . i mean, yeah, and the

new law. i mean, yeah, and the opposition cdu calls the passing of legal thc limit a black day for transport safety in germany . for transport safety in germany. so basically, germany decided that you're allowed to be a little bit stoned when you drive, like you're allowed to be a little bit drunk when you drive . i mean, we're talking drive. i mean, we're talking very, very low numbers here. i mean, to be honest, this story is, but not both together. >> if you've been drinking alcohol, you're not allowed to smoke. >> well, we all know what happens when you combine those two. it's everything gets very wobbly. >> i know i don't i deplore all drug use and i don't drink anymore. so yeah, it's all disgusting to me. but what are they? what's happened to germany? it seems so un—german this to me. >> but isn't this kind of a non story? sorry. in lewis absence, because the amount is so small that they're trying to make an equivalent . they're showing you equivalent. they're showing you how much alcohol you could have in your blood and saying that this amount of cannabis is even lower than that. so presumably you wouldn't know . you wouldn't you wouldn't know. you wouldn't feel stoned. >> well, i don't know. i mean, the marijuana these days is very different to how it was when we were we were young. but, you know, i mean, you haven't lived until you've been down the

autobahn with, with a massive joint in hand. yeah, it really is exhilarating . is exhilarating. >> no speed limit, joint in hands. what could go wrong? let's do the guardian then. and lenny henry says some bbc dramas. no one cares about her ending. >> cressida lenny henry rues fate of black tv dramas after three little birds axed . so, his three little birds axed. so, his windrush tv, itv show cut after just one series as tv industry loses funding streams. and maybe that's why it's been cut . so he that's why it's been cut. so he told the guardian he was concerned about a trend for new shows being given just one shot, as tv faced cuts caused by downturn in advertising and commissioning. so really what he's saying is there's not as much money as he would like. and he goes on to say that you need to have a big name if you want to have a big name if you want to get anywhere. isn't lenny henry quite a big name? >> i think he was in about 1980. what do you think, damian? >> well, i mean, i, i think, i mean, to he he is right. many black dramas are going to be axed as a result of this. what's happening, and i don't know if

he's saying this is specifically a racial issue or not, but the truth is that just loads of stuff is being axed. loads of stuff is being axed. loads of stuff is being made. nobody likes it. nobody's watching it. there's plenty of so many other places to watch amazing things that are designed just for you. and you know, this, this system and this way of consuming content is dying and is going to continue to die . and, you know, continue to die. and, you know, it's not just, you know, black dramas, it's all dramas and all these ideas that seem to be coming from people who, again, are totally out of touch with what people actually want, and they're trying to compete with they're trying to compete with the internet rather than actually taking any real risks. and, you know, taking risks with identity is not the same as taking risks with ideas. and that's what they're not doing. and so, yeah, he's right, but the whole thing is going down the whole thing is going down the pan as far as i can see. >> yeah i agree. all right. let's do the mail. and the olympics is apparently trying to win the gold medal for most woke sporting event. damian. >> well, the olympic chiefs are banning a list of harmful words describing trans athletes and tell journalists not to call them born male, biologically male or mention a sex change

dunng male or mention a sex change during the games in paris. i don't know why an olympic german journalist would would do that , journalist would would do that, but basically they're banning a whole bunch of words to describe trans people and but some of those words include say born male, born female, biologically male, born female, biologically male, female, genetically male, male, female, genetically male, male to female, female to male. identifies as. you can't say that he she is a transgender . that he she is a transgender. can't say that the transgender sex change post—operative surgery , or even transsexual, surgery, or even transsexual, you can't use that word. but what i found peculiar about all this is that the olympics themselves prohibit it, or completely ban anyone transgender from rowing, boxing , transgender from rowing, boxing, athletics, cycling, swimming, rugby and cricket. so i mean, they're they're giving with one hand and taking away with the other. >> say it's empty virtue signalling is that. >> well, it's yeah, it makes absolutely no sense . absolutely no sense. >> it feels to me like they've really missed the memo on the trans issue. >> well, unless, as you say, it's sort of compensatory because obviously there are lots of people who would like trans people to be able to compete in

the sport on the in the gender that they weren't born in, so i wonder whether that's it. it's a gesture to even though they're not, they're not actually enforcing that . enforcing that. >> yeah. i mean they have i mean , i don't think the olympics chiefs have any right to control people's speech or tell them what to write at all. i mean, they're just trying to say, please don't use these terms that have been deemed offensive, but of course, i'm sure a lot of people will accidentally say certain things on that list because not all of them are obviously offensive to anyone who's not completely clued up on this stuff. but at the end of the day, the olympics, these olympic organisations are outright banning, you know, trans people from competing so they don't have a leg to stand on. >> i know it's nonsense. >> i know it's nonsense. >> these words five minutes ago were the right term's right using it. it's that usual thing. if you got to keep up. >> there's been so many of these lists of banned words and no one's ever listened to any of them. it's all nonsense. that is part three in the bag. but coming up in the section, china's fake waterfall nudists and how to defend your country against poo

welcome back to the final section of headliners let's crack on with the metro. and i've always said the only way to retaliate to poo balloons is with pop music. that's one of my sayings. good >> and you're exactly right. south korea's new weapon against kim's poo balloons. cheesy pop music. it's not just cheesy pop music. it's not just cheesy pop music. there's. north korea's

been sending these, balloons filled with rubbish and excrement and all sorts of horrible things into south korea. and in the first instance, they panicked and sent the bomb squads in, and they went in the bags. no, it's just rubbish, but the, there's a group of north korean defectors who are called the free north korea movement, and they feel sad for their country because they've escaped. and they must think of all the people starving and having a horrible time in nonh and having a horrible time in north korea. so they're now sending balloons back with things like, little plug in hard, not hard drives. what are they called? usb things with information. because people in nonh information. because people in north korea don't know anything about the rest of the world they live in. unbelievable ignorance about the world, right? yeah. and always the south korean people are trying to say, look, it doesn't have to be this way. >> yeah, you could just send them over like, just simple things like pictures of the sun and all these things. they're not allowed on going. >> i mean, this is this headline has been doing the rounds because of the poo balloons, which are pretty funny. but i mean, this this is going on all the time. this attempt to get information into, well, i certainly want to be caught with one of those usb sticks. >> if i was in north korea, no, absolutely. i mean, it's yeah, i

mean, this i who sent the first balloon, was it north, was it nonh balloon, was it north, was it north korea or south korea who started with the north? >> north korea ? >> north korea? >> north korea? >> yeah, we covered it a few weeks ago. yeah. they started sending over these balloons. >> but do you mean way back when? >> well, that's like an israel—palestine question. like how far back does the. >> well, 80 odd years. >> well, 80 odd years. >> it's not. no, i meant the poo balloon technique . balloon technique. >> well, it's funny isn't it? the poo balloon strategy. maybe the conservative party should think about taking it up. >> i like starving the balloon strategy . strategy. >> they could get those poll numbers a little bit lower with a few poo balloons. it'd be fantastic idea. but no, i mean, this is this is, this is pretty hilarious, but i guess, you know , the north koreans see all these usb sticks and dollar bills and k—pop tracks as as exactly the same . you know, they exactly the same. you know, they see them like poo. so it's a kind of retaliatory . kind of retaliatory. >> it's an equal response because i think there's like an underground movement and there's this idea that kids who speak with a south korean accent because they've been watching movies can be arrested, you know

, like we hear lots of american tv. i think that the day is coming when north korea will be free, but i don't know if it'll be in my lifetime. yeah. >> well, yes. not not in not in our lifetimes . but, i mean, at our lifetimes. but, i mean, at least they're putting the at least they're putting the at least they're putting the at least they're putting the poo in balloons and not into the rivers i >> -- >> well, m >> well, that's the silver lining. that's probably the most times anyone's ever said poo balloon on a tv show. so let's do the sun. and china's most iconic waterfall turns out to be as fake as their economic statistics. who is this? so this one, isn't it. we can. yeah. was it damien? >> damien? >> damien? >> damien. so sorry. well yes, china's most iconic waterfall is found to be completely fake after embarrassing discovery is made at 1000 foot tall tourist hot spot. so it turns out, this enormous waterfall. i think it's the tallest in, in asia, is actually technically fake, because they've had to hook up a massive pipe covered in concrete to get the water to flow down, down it. and there was all these videos online going viral showing the pipe, and everyone saying, oh, china's making a,

you know, kind of wish.com waterfall . but, at the end of waterfall. but, at the end of the day, even though it's fake, it's still the tallest fake waterfall in the world. at least it's only fake sometimes in the dry. >> that's right . >> that's right. >> that's right. >> it's a fake. >> it's a fake. >> just a bit of lip filler of a waterfall . waterfall. >> yeah. so you're saying it's still an achievement? the biggest fake waterfall is still an achievement. >> it was an enhancement. it was in a way, it was landscape gardening. you know, the waterfall had a trickle and they were like, let's just add a little bit here. >> yeah. okay. we'll probably see america try to. trump will try and do the even bigger, even fake waterfall. totally fake the fakest in the world. all right. let's do the male a nudist refused to back down, which is quite a disturbing image . quite a disturbing image. >> crusader nudist vowed to continue baring all despite losing battle against new housing development they fear will force them off favourite beach, where they've stripped off for more than 70 years. imagine that. so yeah, there's a there's a development going up. it's somewhere in portsmouth , it's somewhere in portsmouth, which is where paul cox is from. i wonder if he knows anything about this. >> he probably is a secret nudist. seems really normal and straight. but then he's like,

just secretly nude. well, anyway, ask her. >> yeah. i mean, i've not. >> i don't know a lot about nudists. i'm not. it's not something i lean towards. and so it's difficult for me to completely sympathise with them being upset that they're now going to have people watching them because of course , i mean, them because of course, i mean, you're on the if you're a nudist, surely you don't mind people seeing you. >> well, i think they think they're going to get barred from they're going to get barred from the beach once the fancy. oh i see well, i mean, we move in and say, oh, what's that? >> but i mean, we live on an island, right? we're completely surrounded by beach . they can surrounded by beach. they can they can go in any direction. and surely they could find another nudist beach. yeah. >> they remind me a little bit of these capybaras. i say you know the capybaras. i saw a video the other day, and i don't know if, you know, it's one of those captions where you're like, is it real? but it said, like, is it real? but it said, like, this rich community has moved in on this capybara land, but they've re—established themselves. so there's capybaras all over this sort of gated community. so the nudist, they don't want to leave their natural habitat. so you'll buy a posh house there and there'll just be a naked man outside it, or the nudists move into the building and, you know, the house prices shoot up in this new development because all the nudists want to live there. all

right. well, very briefly, should we do the mirror and the new bridget jones movie is being filmed at a school falsely accused of running a satanic paedophile ring falsely. seems like the key word there. >> yeah , i mean, this is one of >> yeah, i mean, this is one of those stories. it is thanks to the mirror . those stories. it is thanks to the mirror. so those stories. it is thanks to the mirror . so the new bridget the mirror. so the new bridget jones movie being filmed is being filmed at a school that was falsely accused of having or running a satanic paedophile ring. basically, this is a school in north london, christchurch school . it's christchurch school. it's actually just up the road from my school, my old primary school, new end , both school, new end, both comprehensive schools. >> and to admit that. but and i've absolutely no paedophile nngsin i've absolutely no paedophile rings in either of the schools. >> in fact, there was a channel 4 documentary called accused the hampstead paedophile hoax. and it turned out that a mother had been telling her kids to push this story about how there was a paedophile ring. >> okay, bizarrely, we're going to end on that. i'm so sorry. the show is pretty much over, so let's have another quick look at saturday's front pages. so the daily mail has vanished . doctor daily mail has vanished. doctor mosley did a wrong turn lead to

disaster ? the guardian has disaster? the guardian has furious tories turn on sunak over d—day snub. the telegraph sunak to axe stamp duty for first time buyers. the times mordaunt hits out at completely wrong pm the i tories in despair as sunak d—day gaffe destroys election hopes. the financial times sunak accused of handling gift to reform by skipping d—day event. those are the front pages. that's it for tonight's show. thanks for the question, damian. headlines about tomorrow at 11. if you're watching at 5 am. then stay tuned for a.m. then stay tuned for breakfast. but for now it's good night and god bless. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good evening. it's time for your latest gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. it is feeling a bit fresh considering it is early summer at the moment, and there will be some showery bursts around through the next couple

of days, all due to an area of low pressure just to the north northeast of us. that's driving some cooler air across the country , and also some showery country, and also some showery bursts as well. the showery bursts as well. the showery burst will be pushing their way southwards as we go through this evening, and overnight. some clear spells in between, particularly across some eastern parts eastern scotland, north—east england perhaps where we get the clear skies here, temperatures could drop, could get into low single figures, possibly a touch of grass frost. nonetheless a bit of a fresh chilly start for many of us tomorrow . if we take a closer tomorrow. if we take a closer look at what we can expect tomorrow morning, then , starting tomorrow morning, then, starting off in the south, a relatively cloudy picture for some of us, but some showery bursts possible and some decent bright sunny spells maybe around the bristol channel. also a swathe of cloud and rain affecting more central parts that pushing its way southwards, then across northern ireland, northern england and into scotland . a mixture of into scotland. a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers, the showers will always be most frequent in areas exposed to that north northwesterly wind, so northern northwestern scotland going to see the most frequent showers.

and here they will be pretty heavy at times. there could even still be some rumbles of thunder and a bit of hail mixed in. and all the time some sleet or snow is possible over the highest ground, the cloud and rain across central parts through the morning does shift its way southwards and breaks up as it goes with brightening , sunnier goes with brightening, sunnier skies developing across central parts. as we go through into the afternoon. temperatures just about getting into the low 20s. a bit disappointing for the time of year. some day, then starts off on a bright note across southern parts again, pretty chilly for some here, but increasing amounts of cloud and outbreaks of rain will feed down from the north, and so particularly across northern parts, it is going to be a bit of a damp day with some heavier bursts of rain possible, more showery rain to come as we go into the beginning of next week, and no major rise in our temperatures. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boiler as sponsors of weather on

takes a swipe at the prime minister's decision to leave the d—day commemorations early. >> happened was completely wrong, and the prime minister has rightly apologised for that. >> meanwhile , there's a race >> meanwhile, there's a race against time now as emergency services continue their search for the missing tv doctor, michael mosley, on the greek island of simi . island of simi. >> we'll be live in portsmouth, where armed forces day will be taking place on southsea common, part of a week commemorating 80 years since the d—day landings. >> and should a frequent flyer levy be imposed to help combat climate change, will be debating that later on in the programme . that later on in the programme. >> good morning england's

farewell ahead of
