bad days , but i am making good bad days, but i am making good progress. the times princess reveals toll of cancer treatment . guardian tory leadership hopefuls jostle to replace sunak.thei hopefuls jostle to replace sunak. the i tories face growing peril from farage. the daily mirror . there are good days and mirror. there are good days and bad days. more on kate. they're a daily star. the ice age cometh and those were the front pages . and those were the front pages. we begin with the daily mail, louis. >> we do . thank you very much. >> we do. thank you very much. it's good to see you, paul. i find it a bit disconcerting to have you here, actually. but this is this is the daily mail. kate. these are good days. there are good days and bad days. but i'm making good progress because she's she's about to go to the trooping the colour. it's called. >> i don't even know what louis trooping the colour. not trooping the colour. not trooping of the colour. >> exactly. well, i was corrected here on the show. i wasn't corrected, but i was

watching. so you listened and learned i learned something. not that i care, and we shouldn't be having a royal family and this is the royal family is the worst thing. but but there's a lot of love for her. she seems to be an excellent mother. she doesn't date. yeah. she's got three beautiful children, and she sees me nice to her husband. even though there are rumours about her husband, i don't know what the rumours are. and of course, this is a very serious story. >> louis and a lot of people in the country will be going through this, and it's good to hear from her, i think. >> i think it is good. we've been waiting to hear from her. she's got cancer. we don't know what kind of cancer she has. it might be nice for her to say what kind of cancer. not that they can cure cancer because they can cure cancer because they don't have the clue about, you know, you tell me you're an oncologist and you're basically, i'm not going to listen to you. >> well, i'm sure she's getting the best treatment in this country has to offer. louis. >> yeah, the best treatment. but that's wrong. best treatment in america, too. they're not. they don't know how to treat cancer. and according to thomas seefried, the guy that i follow, doctor thomas freed, he would probably say, you don't, you don't use chemistry the way they're using chemistry to cure cancer. >> cancen >> this is very fascinating. normally i would just shut louis down, but i actually, you know,

when he says that water dehydrates you. i saw a youtube video earlier that says water is not the way to rehydrate itself . not the way to rehydrate itself. and i thought, oh my god, what if louis is right, i saved it. i haven't watched it yet, but i'm worried he might be right. but on this, you know. thank you very much. yeah, it's all right. this is the most open. you know, catherine has been. and it's great that she's not. it's not obviously she's still struggling. she's still going through chemo. so that's terrible. but it's good that she's seems she's doing better. and all those conspiracy theories seem quite distasteful. i mean, i'm quite into this seriously, but i didn't go along with those ones at all. i thought they were. >> and they are rife, aren't they?i >> and they are rife, aren't they? i was on a comedy show just the other night, and an audience member started talking about just this. their nan lived in windsor and they'd heard this and that. i wish from my perspective, they'd just leave her alone. it's good to see that she is feeling a lot better, but not well enough, obviously, to return to work. now let's moving on, shall we? to the times, nick. >> yeah, so the times, of course has princess catherine as well, but it also has cameron . farage but it also has cameron. farage has no place in tory party. so oh lord cameron, as we have to call him now, is piped up. had a p0p up call him now, is piped up. had a pop up farage. it's quite hard

to read all the details of it, but basically he's accusing him of inflammatory language, dog whistle politics, which it seems to me, seems like a kind of reverse dog whistle itself in a way. but i don't buy into that. and he's saying he'll make the country less safe because you'll get labour. although, of course, farage has gone ahead of the tories in certain polls. so he's arguing now actually don't vote tory because then you'll get laboun tory because then you'll get labour. so cameron to me, to me cameron's the one that has no place in the tory party. he's been brought back . he's kind of been brought back. he's kind of reanimated zombie of david cameron. you know , to me he's cameron. you know, to me he's completely out of touch. he's the one that needs to go. and we're in the farage moment. yeah. >> and i think what we've got with the tory party is we've got large swathes of the tory party, sort of led by jeremy hunt and david cameron, that are more lib dem than the lib dems. and when he talks about nigel farage not fitting into the tory party, he's talking from his own image of the tory party. of course, the tory party now, in order to survive, is probably going to have to move further to the right and away from the likes of cameron. >> yeah, yeah, it's completely the wets have failed and cameron's failed because if cameron's failed because if cameron didn't want farage to

have any legitimacy, then he should have done something about immigration in in 2010 when he said he was going to get it down to the tens of thousands, but instead we've had, precedented levels of migration. so of course, it's an open door for farage. so, you know, he can blame himself, do you think? >> louis, i agree with that. i mean, when i saw the david cameron is coming back, i'm not even a i'm not i'm not any of these people. and i just thought, okay, haven't we had enough of this guy he made. he, he had he had so many mistakes that he made back in the day, which led up to the mistakes that are happening now. he was the one who organised the brexit thing . if you're against brexit, thing. if you're against brexit, how could you support this guy ? how could you support this guy? >> a lot of people would start with the would say that the modern politic environment that we're in now started with david cameron and of course, but he started by offering a referendum and then following through with and then following through with a referendum . a lot of people a referendum. a lot of people that criticised him criticised him for losing the referendum . him for losing the referendum. and that's the point of referendum. you know, it's a 50 over 50. yeah. >> well some would say it started with these sort of groundswell of feeling around brexit. and cameron had to , you brexit. and cameron had to, you know, give the referendum. so it was more that's what they'd say

on the sort of on that side. they'd say, well he had to do something about the right of the party and the euroscepticism, and there's some truth in that. but yeah, he will be known by many as a person that sort of destroyed the then the party of the problem with a political party in this country is it's all controlled from the top down. >> they decide who's running, who's going to be the people, who's going to be the people, who's going to be the mps. they decide all of this. so if they decide all of this. so if they decide all of this, they have too much control, which is why the whole party's got to be kicked out. if it was like america, which is the greatest country in the world, we go, how dare you know? but it's true. if it was like america, you could have a donald trump . you could have a donald trump. you could have a donald trump. you could have a donald trump. you could have a local guy who's who is the local guy? he's not appointed by anybody. there's no select committee. he just goes in there and that's that doesn't happen here. that's why that's why farage has a place. >> yes. and also and the bottom line is cameron is scared. you can look how scared they are of farage. it's so obvious. oh, i think they're terrified of nigel farage, and rightly so, because there is a populist movement and which is the leader of. >> and he's never even stepped foot inside westminster as an mp. and he seems to be leading

the way. anyway, let's finish this section with the daily star lewis daily star. >> more good news from you would call it the boffins poll. yeah you would. hot water bottles out as temperatures drop to seven degrees celsius. ice age cometh. it's a big change. it's a big change. but of course they're going to blame it on global whatever. climate change and global warming, whatever they're going to do, they're always going to do, they're always going to do, they're always going to blame the heat or the cold on the thing. >> well, the advantage of climate change or global warming or whatever you want to call it this week is that all weather is a result of it. so it doesn't matter what happens or when it happens. it's it all fits into their model. what do you think of this, nick? i mean, i mean, i know it's the star, but this is this is almost a serious story. >> it's cutting edge stuff. yeah i mean, they tried to gaslight everyone. didn't they say it's the warmest may everest, warmest june ever. and everyone's just. well, i'm looking outside and it's raining and cold, so yeah, they are gaslighting us. like you say, whichever weather it is, it's proof of climate change. that's the genius of it. whereas, of course, for balance, none of us here believe in climate change. >> well, you know, no no no no,

you speak for yourself. i don't believe in it. but you speak for yourself. >> no, i do, and just the balance. i do believe in it. okay. what is it? there you go. >> i don't know what it is. i don't believe in it. it's a bunch of lies. what it is who is saying it? i forgot who was saying it? i forgot who was saying it, but somebody says it's the big lie. there's a great big lie. and what they want. what? what the powers. yeah. what the powers want to do is they want you to not to believe that it's a lie. but they want to lie to you and get away with it. and that's how they humiliate us. and the climate change is a lie, mike, you can google me. you can say. you can say that. >> that's got to be the i'm hosting. >> yeah, i know you're hosting. >> yeah, i know you're hosting. >> normally when you say something that's going to get you a load of abuse, you don't give out your twitter, but i'm giving you say to me, you're killing the world. >> i feel i should say at this point that that's the front page is dealt with. but coming up, we'll be discussing nigel farage creeping up on people for a change, putin talking about a ceasefire and joe biden lewis look sane. >> see you after the break. very

good. >> welcome back to headliners. i'm paul cox. i'm still joined by lewis. the best hair on telly. schaffer it is good. and nick the big dog dixon. absolute me. we kick off with the guardian and nigel farage is declaring himself opposition in waiting. it's good to see nigel creep up on someone for a change. lewis. yeah why? >> because people creep up on him. >> they do, and they throw nasty things. >> now i understand what that means anyway. so this guy, nigel farage, i'm not saying he's ever stepped in this stuff. i've seen him a lot of times here, but he's not here anymore, here @gbnews, nigel farage says he is the leader of the opposition after reform uk poll boost. it means the reform uk is 1% more than the tories. and people are fed up with the tories . and fed up with the tories. and maybe they should be. i'm not saying i support the tories, i don't support the tories, but i think people want a time for a change. there it's very similar to when the liberals were voted out of office. it took it took a

few years for yeah, we've seen this. >> we've seen this sort of thing before. and of course it's a yougov poll. it was commissioned by the telegraph. it's something to be believed in one percentage point 19 versus 18, but it is momentous. and, you know, i'm not sure how much of a change it's going to make. i listened to the nigel farage press conference today. he was buoyant. he's optimistic. he has no targets that he's set. he did remind us, i think it was with ukip in 2019 that he got 5 million votes and won seat. he's hoping this time 2015 2015. sorry. thanks nick. and he's hoping this time to get at least 6 million plus and hoping to get four seats in parliament, which would be, you know , which would would be, you know, which would put him in some form of opposition. i don't think it would make him the opposition, and i think he was being conservative, no pun intended. >> with the 6 million, i think it's going to go much bigger. this is the farage moment. i'm telling you, farage 2024 is like trump 2016. something's happening. the media hate him , happening. the media hate him, but they need him. they keep putting it on. they can't help themselves because he's entertaining and he's so much more interesting than all the other politicians. he's got the meme magic, the irresistible

memes are happening and you know , even the people on the right who say, well, does he have the policies you know, is he a thatcher tribute band, as peter hitchens would call him, still , hitchens would call him, still, he's sort of he's sort of overriding that even even beyond rationality , there's a kind of rationality, there's a kind of inevitable groundswell. farage is inevitable now. the only difference is trump won in 2016 with our system. i'm not necessarily saying farage can win at this point , but he can win at this point, but he can become the opposition. i think that's what's happening. >> and i think what was refreshing today, listening to that news conference on gb news radio, was that he he was unscripted and he was asked a question about would he joined the conservative party he went boring. boring. yeah. and you're thinking, you know, it was a little bit trump esque. in many ways it was he was free of it. and what he did say is he said the tories are dead . the party the tories are dead. the party as it stands now, are dead. a dead brand . dead brand. >> they're brand. brand is broken. the brand is. >> it did sound very trumpian . >> it did sound very trumpian. however, you know, he is in a very strong position. whatever happens now, he's building towards. >> but paul, 2022, who wants 2020 party to die? who will benefit from that ? i mean, half

benefit from that? i mean, half the people in the tory party are are our team uk people and the other half are team world. who wants the tory party dead? i think i think , well, most of the think i think, well, most of the people who are actually on the right, i think what people want is a tory party. they want a true tory party. >> i do well, next up is the times and putin is very happy to end the war in ukraine, as long as they let him keep all the things that he's stolen. nick >> oh yeah, it's putin offers ceasefire and if ukraine gives up annexed regions and nato ambition. so yeah, it is a bit of a ball when he's saying that ukraine needs to give up. four regions invaded by russia and abandon their plans to join nato. i mean, the nato thing i think makes more sense. i mean, i've always thought it's strange that, you know, this attempt to get ukraine into nato has always seemed a bit provocative to me. but the rest of it is perhaps too much for ukraine. it's a kind of a it's a big opening offer. it's a kind of trump like we're going to build a wall and mexico is going to pay for it. you know, this is not actually realistic. so people are debating is this just pure theatrics. does it suggest a any

chance of a detente. could this be the beginning of the end of war or is it just pure flexing? and it's hard to say at this stage because obviously, well, how could it be flexing? >> i think i think russia is in a very bad position and they they need they need the ukraine to not be a threat to them as part of nato. remember what nato is, nato is team world. they've got team world against russia. they've got the this is the comeback of the germ. >> i mean, i'm not sure if it's flexing or not. one thing i would say is that putin things have been mooted before where they've talked about what a ceasefire might look like in ukraine, russia. but this is the first time putin has come out and said, now you might if you're a cynic, you might look at this and think it's been gauged to happen. whilst this conference is going on, where ukraine leaders, ukraine are meeting with other leaders in the world, in switzerland to discuss this. and of course, he's getting in the first punch first, be interesting to see, nick. i mean, this could be the beginning. there has to be a ceasefire at some point. >> it cannot carry on like this because it's not really winnable . but but when louis says russia's in a terrible position, i don't quite get that because

ukraine is struggling. they rely on constant funding from the west, you know, america and so on.and west, you know, america and so on. and so why is why is russia and russia economic sanctions didn't really work. putin shrugged them off and said, we provide all your gas, so why are they in a terrible because they're not providing all the gas and all the gas. >> a lot of the gas in russia comes from these cold areas, and they've got to constantly be pumping gas. and russia is not allowed to sell the gas around the world. russia is in a very bad position geographically. they've got these four ports or five port, four ports and they're being blocked. that's why that's why the russian tanks are in cuba, not the tanks. >> i thought leo kearse was a russia. ukraine. yeah, the main reason i want the war to end is because it's been a massive strain on leo. >> i mean, he gets so worked up about it. sorry. >> carry on. no because he can't because he's so big. people believe him. i don't like the russians. i think i grew up, i grew up hating the russians. >> i'm not saying i like the russians. i'm trying to offer a dispassionate analysis. let's just be clear. >> yeah, yeah, the truth is the truth is, is that russia ? russia

truth is, is that russia? russia should be given those bits of land and. >> well, thank you, lewis. >> well, thank you, lewis. >> i do like the russians as individual people. by the way, let's just clarify that as well. >> more clarification from from moving on onto the sun now. and germany are deploying snipers, but this time it's to protect people. >> well, again , it is i mean, >> well, again, it is i mean, the germans i mean, the germans are bad, but every country is bad. they're all team. they're all team world. they're horrible people. but it says according to this, according to this, germany deploys vast euro euro's ring of steel with 22,000 cops and snipers to prevent the isis and hoougan snipers to prevent the isis and hooligan threat. and that's true. this is a big this is a big event, and you're going to have to have police the better. if this was held ten years ago or even 30 years ago or 40 years ago, they would have had 22,000. >> i thought it was interesting how they mentioned hooligans and isis like it was a constituency. and they had to they had to, they had to mention each member. of course there is isis. but of course, you know, also running are the hooligans. i know i love that equivalency. >> i mean, one of them has ak 47, the other has kebabs, but it's still close. that's the

thing, because they're so great. especially our hooligans are the best in the world. >> do they have kebabs? do they have the. >> it's a great question, but yeah, england we can win it without even some of them have kebabs and jerm. that guy that said i'm millwall and just smack that guy. the terrorist guy. >> yeah. and london bridge attack. yeah. >> was it london bridge or west lindsey whatever. yeah it was london bridge. >> yeah. because he had a beer in his hand as well, didn't he. although there was two scenes wasn't there was people running down the street. it's obviously a harrowing situation but true in true british style people running down the street, not spilling their beer at all. yeah. and then one absolute brilliant british lunatic legend just lumps one guy and says, i say our hooligans can be. >> he did. he said, i'm millwall and he smacked the guy. he took the guy down. and i'm saying our hoougans the guy down. and i'm saying our hooligans can beat isis. but it is shocking, though, that a football event, you now have to think about the threat of isis. you know what i mean? like, i'm sure it wasn't like that when we grew up. i don't remember that in italia 90, i don't remember i think it's nothing. >> no, no, no. the olympics when they had the olympics in, in germany and the whatchamacallits, the do you mean in 36. no, no , no, in 72. mean in 36. no, no, no, in 72. in 72. in the in the in the

terrorists came in and they were like they were over the aeroplane. >> we weren't born . >> we weren't born. >> we weren't born. >> yeah. you weren't born. >> yeah. you weren't born. >> no way, way, way before i how do people not remember that? >> because you're too young. too young. >> that'll do louis. thanks very much. next is the telegraph, and i'll be worth less than louis medical advice by 2030. nick. >> oh, yeah . >> oh, yeah. >> oh, yeah. >> it's, hard to see. hard to see that. but it might happen. world faces staggering excess of oil by end of decade, warns iea and the international energy agency. so, yeah , basically agency. so, yeah, basically they've made too much oil because they're still investing in oil and america's still ramping up production. so, but the idea is with electric cars and all this nonsense, you actually need all of it. so we're going to have this excess amount of oil, which i thought, because i don't really understand this stuff. i was like, won't that like stop the middle east monopoly on it? but all it will do is sort of smash oil prices like we had during covid, and then supply side demand goes down or something and investments are ruined. i don't really understand it . you don't really understand it. you can't do with oil. >> you can't believe it. the question is everything one of these? everything you see in the newspaper, you say, is this true? i don't think it's true. i think i think i oil is one of

those things. there's more oil than we give, give the world credit for. and we may need it more. we may need it less. they don't know. and this is this international energy agency is part of the thug united nations. they want to spread some kind of fear going on united nation thug united nations coined a new phrase as an american. i'm against them. >> bobby khan had a song united nafions >> bobby khan had a song united nations under the rule of satan. that's very much your type of thing, isn't it? >> yeah, well, they're under the control of the french. >> there are a couple of things going on here, aren't there? the first thing you look at, the facts of this story, there are lots of new investment in oil. oil products , oil projects are oil products, oil projects are ongoing, lots of investment going on. so people you can look at what the politicians are saying 20, 30 net zero and the fact that we need to have a smorgasbord of fuel available to us to keep us all alive. and then you have the opposite side where the money is. you see where the money is. you see where the money is. you see where the money is going, and it's going into oil. we're still going to need oil anyway, more from the telegraph now. and joe biden didn't wander off. yeah, he just went to say hello to the

magic invisible people. nick >> no, this is mine. louis. >> no, this is mine. louis. >> sorry, louis. >> sorry, louis. >> all right. you mean that's your first mistake? >> first mistake. sorry. >> first mistake. sorry. >> was it bad? >> was it bad? >> let's not draw any attention to it. let's crack on with the 25 minutes sunak defence. >> biden after he wandered off at g7 event. and this is the g7 is when is when the leaders get together. right. and what's that place called? davos. and no, they're not davos i zoned out there. one of those bottom things i think that's where they sometimes go to davos though. anyway. anyway there were parachuters they landed on the thing and he went over to say hello to him. he he wandered off. he wasn't with his. who is with a woman who is the president. his wife. and he wandered off. so i don't know why is this important. it's in the telegraph . the telegraph. >> it's because it's poop and joe. >> because it's to make the guy poop >> because it's to make the guy poop and poop, and joe because he. >> they thought he pooped at the. but he didn't. but he didn't. he just tried to sit in an imaginary chair. yeah. and this time he walked away to nothing. and there's also that one where everyone's singing and clapping and he's just staring

like stock. still. have you seen that one? he's like a waxwork dummy. that's very strange. it's all quite disturbing. and they has to be brought back the other way. here's a question for you. is it the ultimate display of power to have such a weak leader, or is it the ultimate display of weakness? >> there's a philosophical i would say this. i've i've answered lewis as well, because i've answered, well, you could do your answer, but my answer this itself, you don't need a very strong leader when you've got seven aircraft carrier groups. that's a good point, too. and the truth is, is that obviously the president isn't running the show and he's got obama above him and clinton above him. and the guy over in in davos, i love the way the article says appeared to wander away. >> we all saw it. he wandered away. >> he gave the thumbs up to the magic man. >> his wife, jill biden, is trying to say , well, look, trump trying to say, well, look, trump is essentially the same age, but that looks worse because trump has so much energy. and so you just you just highlight the difference. >> of course, the story. sorry, sorry, lewis. the story here is about the fact that sunak defends biden. now, i don't think anyone anyone holds that against sunak because you know ,

against sunak because you know, let's imagine that we had an elderly, deranged man working with us. nick. we do. we do what we can, you know, to protect. looking at me, i'm just saying, are you looking at me while this is going on? >> just because i pointed out the mistake that you made, i'd like it if he wandered off. >> sometimes i'll be hilarious. but at the end of the day, you know he is the leader of the free world. we don't have time for this, do we? at all? we're halfway, we're halfway. but stay right there. you stay right there because we've got regent street taking inspiration from 19405 street taking inspiration from 1940s nuremberg schools , turning 1940s nuremberg schools, turning autistic kids, transgender and the pentagon anti—vax campaign. don't go away

welcome back to headliners. let's kick off with the metro now. and james may questions why regent street lgbtq+ decorations appear to have taken inspiration from nuremberg in 1940. >> yes. and that is exactly what

he said, word for word. so he can see us now is james may calls pride flags oppressive and the lgbtq+ community is quite rightly livid. when i saw that headline, oh, is this guardian or independent? it was a metro. i'm sorry, but quite rightly, i love that. just stick your editorial in there. quite rightly livid. they're livid because what happened is he said, he wrote pride . while i've said, he wrote pride. while i've observed and admired what you've achieved over my lifetime, may i respectfully suggest that you are borderline guilty of too much bunting ? tmb it's like. much bunting? tmb it's like. like trump derangement syndrome. it's too much bunting syndrome. and i thought it was quite reasonable, he said. it may be seen as authoritarian and therefore oppressive. please remember that some terrible things with which you would not want to be allied began with tmb, world war ii, for example. so he's saying, you know, you start sticking up flags. look where it leads. and then, of course, some people were outraged and some people agreed. that's the internet. >> it's a joke, isn't it? >> it's a joke, isn't it? >> it's a joke. >> it's a joke. >> he's making a flippant james kernel of truth, which is that we're all a bit sick of this stuff. >> and on one end, if you if you're lazy, you burn the flag. but if you're james made a sort

of amiable normie from top gear, you just say, hey, maybe tone it down, guys. >> i also think it's a valid point. i drive into london to come to this, and i was going through hammersmith and there was a well—known estate agents there, and let's say there was 30 displays in the window, usually for flats and houses in london and extortionate prices. at least 75% of those houses have been removed and replaced with the flag. and i thought they're selling a lot of flags this month. what are they hiding , though? because, you know, what are you thinking? prices. yeah, yeah . just you know, we yeah, yeah. just you know, we get it. just put one up in the corner. it's fine. who is this for? >> louis. it's. it's basically the problem is it's like, kind of like a leo cursed joke. it's. there's too much truth in it for it to be really funny. right? okay. >> you're about to do it. yeah, yeah. >> and the thing is, it's a joke . he's made a joke. it'sjust . he's made a joke. it's just too much. >> this is like a leo joke. >> this is like a leo joke. >> no, no, no, the james may. >> no, no, no, the james may. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> james may. >> james may. >> i thought you were about to do on it. >> you were introducing it. i can't do any jokes. no, but he was making a joke. it's a joke, but it has a lot of truth. and we're. you know what it is. i don't care. let people do what

they want to do. let them honoun they want to do. let them honour. and that's what he's saying. >> yeah, but that would include if that was the case, then that would include everybody wouldn't it? and i know it's pride month. yeah. again i know it's pride month but there needs to. they are overegging the pudding slightly. >> it's not them . it is a side. >> it's not them. it is a side. it is the team world side which is like the end to family. >> have a drink at home. >> have a drink at home. >> yeah. well, you know it is. we're not having any kids. you can have your penises, whatever is removed or moved to other places or whatever you whatever they do, just go to lewis.com. just put a lewis schaffer.com. >> he does it . just put a lewis schaffer.com. >> he does it. he's got discount. >> i'll tell you where my penis is paul can i just offer a counterpoint. >> which is that actually i think pride is being reduced. if you look at things like in america, like major league baseball, their twitter account, in the past, it would just be emblazoned with the rainbow. now they did one day on it. so i think it's being kind of toned down prior . i think it's being kind of toned down prior. i think think it's being kind of toned down prior . i think corporations down prior. i think corporations have got wise. so there is too much and they're toning it down. the fact that james may's even saying it suggests that's the trend. that's what i say. >> well, that's a good point. can i just point something out? is that anyway, is that i can talk about this, paul, because i represent the plus community. >> don't we all live very plus?

>> don't we all live very plus? >> i always say i am the plus when you see a plus on the thing, you think of. >> okay, so let's , next up, is >> okay, so let's, next up, is the daily mail and should schools target autistic children to find out if they're transgender ? transgender? >> yes. well, this is outrage. utah parents say autistic son, 13 was drastically changed by school survey asking if he was asking if he was transgender and he thought about sex too much. did he did he think about this is one of the because the guys autistic and he's probably getting some probably the family is getting money from the council. so they want to check to make sure that he's really is it right that he was thinking about sex too much? no. with 13, i thought about sex a lot. now. now that i'm 67, i know differently. >> this article came with a video, a video of the parent talking to the board of governors somewhere. right. i believe the school and she was at pains to say how well the school had done. however, on this particular instance, the child was targeted, singled out. no one else in that classroom was given the quiz . and because was given the quiz. and because they're autistic, they were asked, do they think they could

be transgender? now, nick, is that appropriate ? no. that appropriate? no. >> it's disgusting. it's insane. they had 122 questions. one of them was, i think about sex too much. wish i was the opposite. sex. threatened to hurt people, think about killing myself . why think about killing myself. why is the child having these ideas put in his head? he felt targeted . it's absolutely targeted. it's absolutely disgusting. and he's far too young for these. these questions shouldn't be asked anytime in school, but especially at age what, 13? absolutely obscene. i disagree, it's part of the larger trend, which is the what do you want to call it, the global team world managerial woke state interfering with families. that's what it wants to do ultimately. why? why? because it brings more power to the state. you look auburn mcintyre just wrote a good book about it called the total state. i've just had him on my podcast and he, what he points out is that what what this global total state did, it took away the social bonds we used to have that that have gradually been eroded more and more. and you end up where you're just sort of atomised subject of the state. so even the families , the final so even the families, the final frontier in this, and that's what the whole that's what the whole trans movement, it could be that, but it could be

something even simpler is that people in america have access to guns, and they want to check out who the troublemakers are, especially in a place like low. >> this is in logan, utah. especially in a place like low. >> this is in logan, utah . you >> this is in logan, utah. you can just imagine the death that bnngs can just imagine the death that brings this, but it's all that aside. >> i don't disagree with that. that small point there. but the kids, it's not a small point. this is a relatively small point. >> so the guy they bought an off the rack test to give to the kids, they. yeah. but why? >> this is the point. what what do the school gain from it? the school must let's let's remove cynicism from it for a moment and assume the school were trying to do good. what do they gain from singling out an autistic child and asking them questions that might just plant a seed in their head? and it leads us to all the things we saw in the cass report. >> well, i don't know what this i don't know if this kid's that annoying, but you, the parents are annoying. so this kid could have been annoying and they could have just said, you know, we're looking for some reason to get him to another class to get him out because he could blow the school up because people have guns. >> so i don't think there was any evidence that he was going to do any of those things. nick, could you finish the story just with a some sensible points?

>> well, no, i just i think you're right. there was no evidence he was going to do any of that. there is a link, of course, but arguably there was a trans shooter, wasn't there. so maybe there's some link there. but that's. but then there's no reason to assume this child is going to do it. so yeah, it's there's no reason, but it's only one kid. and i'm part of a larger trend, isn't it, of this kind of thing. sexualising children asking them these kind of questions , all the weird of questions, all the weird stuff that goes on in classrooms now, it's part of that trend or it could have been that they just got a test. >> we don't know the whole story . it's not in this. >> well, it seemed pretty clear cut. but anyway, we should move on. move on to the guardian and we will. now who would you who would have thought that unnecessary authoritarian measures against healthy children would lead to a mental health epidemic? nick >> yes, it's mental health is main cause of rising absences in england , say head teachers. and england, say head teachers. and in nearly nine out of ten report marked rise in pupils missing school due to mental health since the covid pandemic , which since the covid pandemic, which really means lockdown. so i'm sort of torn on this because on the one hand it's quite clear andifs the one hand it's quite clear and it's clear in the article

that it's quite easy to say anxiety. there's nothing anyone can do. you want an extra day on your holiday or whatever it is your holiday or whatever it is you want the kid to be off for a bit, you just say, oh, it's anxiety and what can anyone do? on the flip side, locked down, of course. did destroy the mental health of children. inevitable so i kind of i see a little bit of both because , you little bit of both because, you know, there is too much of this just citing anxiety. but then also the lockdowns were an obscenity. >> lockdowns were a bad thing. it was a bad thing. and it made people think, well, you know what? if we can close the schools for the for this reason for lockdown, i can just say that i'm not feeling that well. so i'm not going to come in and i want everybody out there to know i was not vaccinated. i didn't get vaccinated because i hate shots, whatever. i have a real chronic thing about it. but but this is what happens when you i'm my own kids are a bit they were that way and the statistics are bearing it out as well. >> louis. i mean, previous to the pandemic in 2019 and before 60,000 children were suffering from this, now it's 150,000. and that's an incredible rise, right? 150% rise and go on.

nick. sorry. >> i'm just i'm just one thing i'm tempted to add. and ashley frawley is very good on this. she's written on this a lot is the therapeutic state. so there is an idea now in this culture we have that everyone is broken and needs to be fixed by the state. so that's why i'm a little suspicious of this rise in mental health. the assumption is you're mental and we can fix you. but what if actually, there's nothing wrong with you? obviously not. louis but other people, i think because i think this is because this comes directly after the pandemic. >> and i think, you know , at the >> and i think, you know, at the time i have a i have a daughter and i have several children around the, around the planet, louis, you know, you know, that it did in proportionally affect children. yes. my daughter was in year six, which in the uk is the end of a, infant primary education. and she missed out on swathes of stuff that she should have and wasn't prepared to go to senior school in the same way that she would. and her and her classmates really did suffer. and i know that was across the board, but that was my experience. and in hindsight, i think we could have managed it a lot better than we did. i think we should move on now. however,

continuing with the guardian and they're reporting a rise in abuse against female politicians with 58 genders to choose from. why do the trolls always pick on women? louis. >> yeah, well, this is female. uk election candidates report increased abuse . so they asked a increased abuse. so they asked a few women, people who were running all politicians lie—ins now are being abused because we're in a war situation, because people are so head up over everything. they were head up about the about the trans issue, about ukraine. every issue, about ukraine. every issue about the covid thing. so they're head up. but this is they're head up. but this is they're asking women and everything upsets women. nothing personal. i mean , like i upset personal. i mean, like i upset women, but that's more like it. but this but this is in the guardian. so this is what they're going to do. you think it's probably easy to be a male candidate for anything or a male politician? >> well, no. you got a milkshake thrown at you for a start. and by the way, the solution to that is easy. we just cut off the person's hand. all you have to do it once. just saying works in some countries, but. or you could just be more moderate , could just be more moderate, just life imprisonment. but yeah, there is. >> or how about this ban ban milkshake sales. yes, that's a good idea. >> look, there's two ways. i mean, again , i'm torn on this

mean, again, i'm torn on this because on one hand everyone gets abused on twitter, even a nice guy like me. obviously louis gets tons, but i can get anything. >> you can just mute it. >> you can just mute it. >> you can just mute it. >> you can just mute it and everyone gets it. so there's that side. but then there's also the very serious side where, you know, sir david amess was, was killed. nigel farage is being attacked. he needs massive security now . i can't go on a security now. i can't go on a train. so i see, so i see both sides. it's not just targeted at women, it's targeted at everyone and particularly politicians. now it is like louis says, it's hit another level. >> see what i find interesting about these stories, particularly as it's in the guardian. they, they they need to have a victim. they need to have an oppressor. and in this case, they've made women the victim. now do we protect women differently? should we specify we protect women from men? and my inclination in this, always from a traditional perspective, is that perhaps we should protect women more. but where's the equality in that? there is no equality in that. if men and women are equal, or all 58 genders are equal, then there has to be equality. now, i'm not suggesting for a minute that we should undermine any of this, but what we do see here is the guardian once again honing in

specifically on women when we know the statistics show that men suffer from the same thing. >> it's the guardian , this is >> it's the guardian, this is the guardian. what can you do about them? it doesn't. it doesn't say how many, how many men, how this has grown statistically . statistically. >> one more point, by the way, by the bbc calling nigel farage far right and apparently the home office has a very similar culture within it. that kind of thing encourages violence against politicians, i would say. >> but thank you very much, nick. so moving on, just the final section to go and we've got the pope talking about. i german police encouraging england fans to smoke cannabis and british sausage is a growth market. see you

isn't it? welcome back to headliners. we go to the independent now. and pope francis is worried that i could start controlling humanity. just like religion , i guess. louis. like religion, i guess. louis. >> well, who's going to control pope francis? the guy is 87 years old. this is the g7. and that's the thing we were talking about before. you say you gave a

speech, why do they give the guy a speech? who is. what does he know about al ? right. but these know about al? right. but these are all the people they bring people in to talk to . the it's people in to talk to. the it's you know, it is it's like they just want to get out of washington and or wherever they're in, in canada, france. this is this is should it should be our team because there's no india on this thing. >> i have no idea what any of that meant. so you and i, i think what louis is trying to say is the g7 is a powerful group of countries, a powerful group. >> it's a lie—in to western values where as whereas it omits russia, china and india is what? it's not a group. it's just the three top players in our league . three top players in our league. >> it does indeed. so i the pope religion. nick, this feels like your subject . your subject. >> well i mean i'm the other team but it's i mean protestant i don't mean i'm not gay. yeah, but he said . yeah, i it's like but he said. yeah, i it's like batting for the other side or something. right? >> i've got to stop saying these things require you to let us know. sorry. >> yeah. you say? oh, you say

catholics . catholics. >> this is my last show. anyway, the point is, it's the pope, and he says, look, we can all agree with this. no machine should ever choose to take the life of a human being. who could disagree with that? he's anti the terminator. what's wrong with that? yeah, exactly. >> it doesn't make any sense. i mean, granted, it makes sense. you said it. ai is a bit scary from what i can tell. it is a bit scary because it's worked, but we've always had ai when they had photoshopping. that's ai when they had the painting. the picture. >> yeah, but it's different now. >> yeah, but it's different now. >> it's different when it controls , if it controls controls, if it controls a government and kills everyone. that's what he's talking about. >> yeah, but that's polarising. it might not happen. there might be a midpoint. so anyway , the be a midpoint. so anyway, the daily mail now and the pentagon secretly spread anti—vax propaganda. nick. >> shocking stuff. pentagon ran secret anti—vax campaigns during covid pandemic. whistleblowers reveal they're having a go at us for being anti—vax. they were anti—vax. what they were doing with a covert operation. they were spreading it through the philippines and trying to encourage fear of taking china's vaccine to destabilise china. and there was sort of promoting ideas like there was a tweet saying we should not trust those med supplies by china, really stuff like that. and of course, the flip side is philippines now

the flip side is philippines now the healthiest country in the world because they didn't take the vaccine. so it's backfired. but and they even targeted muslims claiming the vaccine contains gelatine from pork . so contains gelatine from pork. so this is very subtle subversion going on. imagine what they're doing to their own population , doing to their own population, if that's what they're doing to the philippines. >> well, you know what you say. very subtle subversion. that's what makes the whole thing so scary. you don't expect the americans to be doing this stuff, but they're just as bad as these. possibly. and who who is the people who put this information out? what do they want to say about the american? well, we don't know. >> and it doesn't say . and but >> and it doesn't say. and but we should probably move on. it's very interesting stuff all the time anyway, lewis, thank you very much. the times and moving drugs between continents turns out to be quite a stressful job. nick. yeah, this is a non story. >> this is it's cocaine ink. how rotterdam is driving britain's cocaine crisis. but it's more of a sort of long think piece. and i sort of skimmed it. basically it was just that the dutch do a load of drugs. i mean didn't we know that already? i mean, they're liberals, they do drugs . they're liberals, they do drugs. they spread them everywhere. yeah. >> and not only do they do a load of drugs, a lot of drugs come into rotterdam. but from what i remember and i didn't check this. i should have

checked it. but i think rotterdam was the largest port in the world. single port in the world was rotterdam. but all the stuff from everywhere comes in. there so there's going to be a lot of it's one of these saturday. >> i think, pieces where the chap actually says, you know, actually running drugs is quite stressful and working for the mafia is quite scary. and i'd much rather be in prison. so, i mean, i do like the phrase thousands of corrupted dutchman. >> that's weird. what is that? it's such a weird article. >> moving on to the daily mail. and the german police are hoping that england fans are hungry instead of angry. >> oh, that's a good, good. what do they call that link in there? yeah, german police encourage england fans to smoke cannabis, which we would call weed in america or pot instead of drinking it. the euro drinking at the euros. and this is nice of the germans they just made. they just made cannabis legal. so, you know, they and this is a big, big clash against serbia, one of the world leaders in. >> yes. the idea is that england versus serbia, which will, you know, potentially have a bit of hooliganism associated to it, it's likely to be a big drinking

fest as well, and that could lead to a lot of trouble. nick, look, they're saying here that it will make the fans calmer and help them chill out. >> if we listen to germans telling us to chill out, we would never have won those wars. that's all i'm saying. we don't chill out in the face of germans . we get more angry. and this whole thing about we germ's germany's become obsessed with weed. there was recently a story that you can smoke weed before driving now in germany, and they're saying every, every person must have a certain amount of cannabis plants, not must, but they can. like three plants or something. this is a weird new, very german take on weed. we're not going to smoke weed, we're going to drink and we're going to fight. and that's what makes this nation great. >> and that's. yeah, exactly. and that's what makes this section of our nation great, which is which is football is a drinking thing. yes. go, go weed. >> and you okay. >> and you okay. >> so i think we're we're going to we're going to rush things on now. but i want to i want to deal with the biggest story of the day and the big story in the metro. and whilst our standards of living may be decreasing in the last two years, some things are growing. >> louis. yes well, british i can't. can i say that word on the tv? >> you can say the words of the

printed british press. >> i don't like to say . >> i don't like to say. >> i don't like to say. >> we could say penises, can't we? >> it's not clear, actually. >> it's not clear, actually. >> have grown nearly ten. it's not clear that we're allowed to say it. >> no, we've been in terrific. carry on, carry on. >> so i'm going to get in trouble anyway. don't call ofcom. they. they didn't. anyway, british penises have grown nearly 10% in two years. could this be why i, i no, mine, mine has grown 10% just by sitting. sitting here. what's gone? >> what's amazing is that the venezuelans grew from , it grew venezuelans grew from, it grew 1.42. i can't i can't get all the stats now. but basically the venezuelans, it's like that just shows that old meme is right. hard times create large. >> yes . exactly. that's. well, yeah. >> because why are they growing in venezuela . they barely in venezuela. they barely eating. it's incredible. yeah. >> well i mean we've not done we've not done any measurements between the three of us. everything seems in my account to be the same size. it we can though, we can do it in headliners after hours. but that's not for now . so the show that's not for now. so the show is nearly over. so let's take another look at saturday's front

pages. the daily mail. kate. there are good days and bad days, but i am making good progress. the times princess reveals toll of cancer treatment. the guardian tory leadership hopefuls jostle to replace sunak. the i tories face growing peril from farage the daily mirror there are good and bad days. daily star the ice age cometh and those were the front pages. that's it for tonight's show. thanks to louis and nick. thank you to you all out there. headliners is back tomorrow at 11 pm. with nick kristof and myself again . if you're watching myself again. if you're watching at 5 am. then stay tuned for breakfast. but for now it's good night or good morning . night or good morning. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> hello again and welcome to

the latest forecast from the met office for gb news. further showers are expected over the next 24 hours and beyond with prolonged rain at times, but also some clear spells in between the downpours . low between the downpours. low pressure is currently stationed to the west northwest of scotland and around that low we've got a gusty wind bringing frequent showers into much of the uk, but also some longer spells of rain. one such area of rain affecting northern scotland through the evening, and then another band of rain pushing into northern ireland, parts of wales and the southwest during the early hours . so a lively the early hours. so a lively night to come with some heavy rain at times and that gusty wind, but some clear spells as well . and where we've got the well. and where we've got the clear spells, temperatures dipping into the single figures or even the mid single figures in some of the cooler spots. for example central scotland. but for the north of scotland we keep the wet weather going on saturday morning, particularly for shetland, some outbreaks of rain there for orkney, but for much of the mainland of scotland it's dry. best of the sunshine of the day will be in the morning on saturday. thicker cloud into southern scotland,

northern england and this band of rain just affecting parts of northern ireland into the midlands. the south east as well. some heavy downpours before a mix of sunny spells and blustery showers push into south wales and the southwest of england that develops more widely across the uk. so really it's a case of bright spells and heavy showers out there on saturday afternoon. you certainly will need your umbrella at hand if you're heading out. even if it's sunny when you leave the house. but there will be some longer spells of rain, particularly for northwest england. southern scotland, for example , and even scotland, for example, and even some thunderstorms out there. so an unpleasant day for many places. highs of 17 or 18 celsius. sunday starts off a little brighter and drier across england and wales. scotland and northern ireland sees a band of rain pushed south that breaks up to become more of a showery feature into the afternoon . and feature into the afternoon. and in between the showers there will be some sunshine once again a drying up trend, then into monday and tuesday, with fewer showers and a better chance of some sunshine that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers
