has since been quashed. today he told the inquiry he never had complete oversight of all the systems and he relied on others to supply reliable information. juuan to supply reliable information. julian assange has arrived at court on a remote island in the pacific, where his long running campaign to avoid extradition to the united states will formally end.the the united states will formally end. the 52 year old wikileaks founder left the uk this morning after more than 1900 days at belmarsh prison. assange will plead guilty to one charge after the us dropped 17 other espionage charges against him. he is expected to be sentenced to five years, which is roughly the equivalent of the time he's already served in britain, meaning he's most likely to walk free. and you probably saw england's performance tonight drawing nil nil with slovenia in their european championship group c game in cologne. manager gareth southgate brought on palmer, alexander—arnold and

gordon from the bench at different times, but it wasn't enough to win the group . enough to win the group. england, though, have still qualified for the knockout stages. slovenia have also progressed as a third place team. that's the news for the latest stories, sign up to gb news alerts. scan the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. comma. it's time now for headliners . headliners. >> hello and welcome to headliners, your first look at wednesday's newspapers. i'm simon evans . wednesday's newspapers. i'm simon evans. i can see i've caught a bit of a collar issue going. they are joining me tonight. we have josh howie and leo kearse. how are you gentlemen. we need to get a mirror in that dressing room. yeah i know and the trick is when you when you're watching yourself on the monitor you have to remember it's not a mirror. it's the opposite sign for the wrong. i've got to just move endlessly in there . you look

endlessly in there. you look fine. you look like a wimbledon match official. >> that's exactly what i was going for. >> i was no, i was going to say wimbledon janitor. >> whereas you look like like one of those playboy players from the 70s who was not really that bothered about tennis, more interested in polo, but anyway, we have, some newspapers to get through. let's have a look at those front pages. we'll kick off with the daily mail, those front pages. we'll kick off with the daily mail , starmer off with the daily mail, starmer mail readers were right about labourin mail readers were right about labour in 2019. that's why we've changed. so they're going to take some credit. the times labour man suspended for betting on election. the telegraph cabinet minister claimed he won £2,000 on election. bet guardian fifth tory faces investigation as election betting scandal grows . metro fred assange grows. metro fred assange i thought it said fred assange for a minute. i said that they're all coming out now. he's on his way home. and finally the daily star armageddon out of here. i think we've heard that one before. anyway, those are your

front pages. so we're going to kick off with the guardian . kick off with the guardian. >> yeah. so, in the centre there is a photo of, julian assange. we're going to do him later , and we're going to do him later, and he's looking quite he's looking quite puffy. >> yeah. he looks he looks old. he looks old. i know he's been sort of in exile or in hiding for, for a while, but yeah, he hopefully some online gym bro will get hold of him and knock him into shape in the next six months. >> i think it's the least. >> i think it's the least. >> joe swash is a big fan of his. >> yeah, we've gone back to australia so he'll get fit there. he will fit there. >> he reminds me a tiny bit of michael winner now, which is never a good look to be honest. >> he's paid the ultimate. he's paid the ultimate price. >> calm down dear, it's only a leak of several terabytes of information, there's also a story on, incredible loss. war's deadly toll of gaza's journalists. and i'm sure if you actually read the article, they'd mention all the gaza

journalists who actually took part in october seventh and actually turned out to be connected to hamas. yeah. have they have they mentioned are not, the story at the top is fifth. tory faces investigation as election betting scandal grows, we've been covering this every day. pretty much over the last week, and, as have all the newspapers as of all the news. well, that's strange, the connection there, simon, and so we haven't had any choice. but if i'm honest, i don't think we should have been. i mean, ijust consider it the most extraordinarily trivial. it's. it's damaging. it's kind of a sordid , squalid, sleazy end of a regime. >> it's a crime. it's a crime. but it's not just the tories that have been doing it. labour, a labour guy stood down after betting on himself. losing. yeah so i mean, that's that's showing some confidence going into. >> but at least he didn't have any inside information . no. any inside information. no. >> it's a nice little bit of human interest in the midst of all the, attempts to grapple with the nation's future. >> i think now that the serious

this is serious. yeah, yeah, this is serious. yeah, yeah, this is serious. yeah, yeah, this is like nancy pelosi, not that i'm suggesting that nancy pelosi standing play wasn't there. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> no, nancy pelosi's got millions. yeah from her, from her legitimate, incredibly lucky gamble on the stock market. yes i mean, warren buffett should look out. she's she has a sixth sense. yeah, she really does have a sixth sense. of course, everything's above board there. i'm not suggesting anything else, but but she's made much more money. but this is this is actually it's not the amount of money. it's the fact that it's a crime. they're not. it's not a victimless crime. they're taking money from gambling firms, which are, you know, who doesn't feel sorry for gambling? >> well, not necessarily if they go on betfair, they're just taking money from other gamblers, you know. you know. so. >> but yeah, two have now been suspended. it's i think it's more also just the fact that it's like sunak has not got on grappled with this quickly. no. decisively until now, until it until like every other scandal that's hit this government, it grows out of proportion to where he just has got egg on his face. >> so he's no better than £10,

says he doesn't deal with it by the end of the week. >> is he is no better than boris johnson was with pincher right? pincher was the end of him. not deaung pincher was the end of him. not dealing with it. this is what gets him, isn't it? in the end, it's the old al capone thing again and again. yeah, you can drive the country off a cliff. >> so it's interesting, but it's interesting to see labour's response to their politician where they were like, they've instantly pulled backing from him, they've returned all money because it turns out he's quite a big donor to the labour party. >> and they give him back like £100,000. but the funny thing about that guy, the labour guy, is he turns out he's like a pr for crisis. right? so i'm just wondering if he's kind of gone. you know what? immediately suspend me and give me all my money back. and then we'll talk in six months. >> so he's a donor and was a candidate as well. >> so i wonder how that's connected. >> yeah, i thought i don't know, i feel like instinctively that should be against the rules, but it's not presumably otherwise you wouldn't be saying it. i'm guessing not. no. fair enough. we'll go over to the express. leo. >> so the express has farage uk must end funding france until small boats are halted. so he's

talking here about, britain gives france. apparently it's giving france half £1 billion so far. and this is, this is to sort of help deal with the migrant crisis and try and stop people coming across the channel people coming across the channel, which obviously isn't working. france clearly aren't fulfilling their end of the deal fulfilling their end of the deal. and he's making the point that the french navy actually escort the boats across the channel to the half way point, and then our, our coastguard bnng and then our, our coastguard bring them, don't they? >> and the rnli pick them up, you know. >> yeah. and he's saying, why aren't we taking the boats back to france? i mean, obviously it would, it would create a headache for macron. it would be, it would be, you know, create political ructions. but, tony abbott did a similar thing in australia. he took boats back to indonesia. and even though it created ructions, it stopped. it stopped the boats, you know, showing that you're serious about it stops the boats. and, you know, if somebody's taken a pleasure boat across the channel pleasure boat across the channel, there's all these restrictions and regulations. so why why aren't people, you know, having to meet the same restrictions and regulations if they're illegal immigrants and they're illegal immigrants and the timor sea, north of

australia towards indonesia has got some properly big fish in it. >> yeah , quite sharp ones as >> yeah, quite sharp ones as well. so that's a different proposition altogether . i mean, proposition altogether. i mean, nigel has actually been pretty active on this first, first name basis. first look at him over here, nigel. >> oh nigel and boris have mentioned as well. >> you know, who have you got, kim? rachel doesn't like me calling her kimmy , i think. calling her kimmy, i think. i think nigel farage is entitled to claim this territory, though. is definitely entitled. he's certainly kept it in the news. he's what entitled just a little i don't think. sorry, nigel. no, i don't think. sorry, nigel. no, i think he is. i think he is. because he's actually, you know, he's investigated this. he landed on the french side, didn't he? poked about a bit. you know, he's not he's not leaping on a bandwagon here. yeah. he's he's one of the people who did it and was shining a light on it when it wasn't, you know, a politically fashionable to do it. >> and when you know, people, all the slings and arrows were slung at you. people just rolling their eyes. >> oh, what's he going on about? but it's mounted and mounted anyway. nothing else on the front page there. you can buy wine in this country by the look of it. that's interesting.

finally, the daily star , no, finally, the daily star, no, sorry, not the daily star. the time. sorry, i've jumped one. yeah, time. so. yes social media is path to stupidity , says is path to stupidity, says church church of england. they've released a report and they they've got an interesting thing. they said, if you could put all your tweets printed out in a single document and then sit down with christ and read it, and i'd like to think that jesus would follow me. do you think so? i think he would be amused by my right wing going to raise for female rights and children's rights and for our jewish people. >> jesus, i'm not going to raise his single most obvious objection to that, which is what he wasn't on twitter. you killed him . him. >> who's me? that is literally your single most historically well—founded. >> did you read? >> did you read? >> did you read? >> did you read the bible? >> did you read the bible? >> no . >> no. >> no. >> the new testament, the sequel mel gibson mini series. >> you did not know it was the romans who killed jesus? >> ironically, i don't get my

history lessons from mel gibson's mini series. i get my history lessons from mel gibson's social media from his feet, which is much, much harder. >> i mean, it is a little bit ironic, isn't it, because some people would say, you know, that the church did a lot to keep us in the dark ages between roughly the fourth and 12th centuries, so they didn't allow people have twitter? no. they banned. that's exactly right. yeah. and people complain then that that was they were the source of all incuriosity and, and superstition. you think they're in a position now to preach , in a position now to preach, possibly. i don't know if anybody's listening because they're not very popular in social media. and i think what we've got now is, is because the church has sort of withdrawn from providing that sort of morality and structure in people's lives . these fads have people's lives. these fads have sort of just spread across social media. so we've got a new religion, a religion of social justice with all this weird stuff. you know, the critical race theory, social justice, all gender ideology, which in your view, is only holding the ball up until islam can take over anyway. >> oh, yeah. >> oh, yeah. >> we're currently locked and locked in a battle. >> it is on it today.

>> it is on it today. >> there's currently a civilizational battle going on between islam and the west. so islam is trying to turn us muslim and we're trying to turn islam gay. >> so i mean , just as a gs, gs >> so i mean, just as a gs, gs just don't want people thinking that we killed jesus. who's the church completely withdrawn from. i thought the church was trying to get it was a bit like, you know, the met police and stuff. they have little tweets, don't they? occasionally i don't follow them, but i bet they do a bit of a sort of like, i bet there's a tweet for the day, isn't there? i don't know, yeah. i remember watching the coronation. justin welby was reading his lines from an ipad, which i remember thinking he hasn't bought that, especially for the occasion . he sits in bed for the occasion. he sits in bed at night scrolling. >> i'd like to see his browsing history. >> no man is a. this was the phrase no man is a hero to his browser. anyway, those are the front pages sorted. but stay with us for the last, this is not the last. the second section. we'll have the latest details on

release. kemi versus who? a glimmer of hope

and welcome back to headliners. your first look at wednesday's newspapers. josh, we have the telegraph now on the murky details of julian assange's release. will the truth take as long to come out as he did? >> indeed. and he's clean as well, which everyone will be happy to hear after his dirty protests. biden administration cut deal with assange ahead of potential labour labour takeover. so obviously the imminent new leaders of our country, and the idea being that because, labour might be more sympathetic to his cause, they'd be less likely , even if the be less likely, even if the court case that was going through the supreme courts found in favour of , that, of the in favour of, that, of the american government that they would still find a reason to not

extradite him. so that's the idea. there's a bunch of other reasons as well, including the fact that australia now politically has sort of come out in favour of assange. and obviously he's a hugely divisive figure in terms of especially when you're a free speech advocate, it makes it a bit more complicated because he did release information or his website released information which did show, the, terrible american military got up to in iraq and afghanistan at the same time. it also put people at risk because by not censoring any of the names of the people, the local population who helped, america, it put those lives at risk. and we don't know if people died because of it. >> absolutely. i mean , he's his >> absolutely. i mean, he's his argument was that, it was only because they were able to keep so much secret until so many lies that the wars got started in the first place. but, is, as you say, it's, i think it's more intractable than people pretend . intractable than people pretend. i've always been sort of slightly wrong footed by the extent to which people know what

they think about assange. i think it's quite a complicated issue personally. you know , i issue personally. you know, i thought it was particularly complicated myself when he was facing what i frankly felt were trumped up charges of sexual misconduct. well, that was quite obvious what was going down. yeah. >> i mean, it seemed like, you know, he'd released because he released so much, so much data and just he could have released it. and i think the first tranches of data were released in a way, you know, it was done with the, with the guardian, with, with media outlets and, you know, parts were redacted. so people were kept safe. and then there just seemed to be this huge dump of data. and, you know, i'm a free speech advocate, but also worked in intelligence and, you know, knowing that there's people, patriotic people who've risked their lives for their country, who are then being put at risk or being killed because of this data breach. and they might have nothing at all to do with, with any of the crimes that he, that he, he revealed, so, yeah, as you say, as you say, it's complicated. it's a complicated. >> and of course, there was edward snowden as well who managed to get away. is he still in russia? yeah. >> so i just want to say

something that that i know what you're saying in terms of assange and it seemed like sort of trumped up charges. i just remember reading a very long testimony article by, one of the women, and it sounded pretty dodgy to me, but that's all i'm saying. oh, yeah. >> me too. believe all women. yeah well, that's right. >> he's, his health is suffering now as well anyway, i believe. so. that's possibly an issue. i think they were thinking he might die in jail. well, he was also saying that he might kill himself if he went to america and whatnot. >> he's he's now married. he married one of his lawyers. i think that's a bit hack personally. >> culture wars in the first section. leo, it's a well matched bout between the tory heir apparent and heir to the scottish super strength lager fortunes. >> yeah, so this is kemi badenoch, who's hit back after the rich leftie david tennant. that's her words, by the way . that's her words, by the way. although i agree with her, calls for her existence to end. so in case you're wondering if david tennant has become a white supremacist, suddenly, he possibly has, but he's also he's

won the celebrity ally award at an lgbt award ceremony on friday. i love how we're living under austerity, but the government's still got money to spend on lgbt awards for people, they should they should give an award to whoever is it? is it a crossing every every 20 yards? >> is it a government thing? >> is it a government thing? >> is it a government thing? >> i bet they get money. everybody gets money. arts council money. there's going to be there's going to be money going to a guarantee 100% a bet. i went to when i worked in the pubuc i went to when i worked in the public sector. i went to so many of these ritzy award ceremonies and stuff, and i couldn't man, i couldn't believe it. but anyway, so, he said he wished she didn't exist, and he said, i don't wish ill of her. i just wish her to shut up. talking about kemi badenoch there. so she hit back on twitter saying, i will not shut up. i will not be silenced by men who prioritise applause from stonewall, which is the controversial trans and lgbt charity, over the safety of women and girls. a rich, lefty, white male celebrity. so blinded by ideology he can't see the opfics by ideology he can't see the optics of attacking the only black woman in government by calling publicly for my

existence to end. so. and she says this is what labour is going to be like when they get into power. if they get into power. and i mean, it is the labour are going to bring in, they're bringing through self—id, they're going to make like they're going to make life great for women like me. >> but david tennant is, he isn't part of the labour government, obviously, or he is like this chap who has just sort of goes on twitter and sort of goes, oh, just be nice . goes, oh, just be nice. >> he has he has a trans child. yeah, that's the issue. >> and so he is that binary. >> and so he is that binary. >> he is pretty cat. but what a coincidence that you have all these rich celebrities and a huge proportion of them way outside of the number of actual trans, have just happened to have trans children. >> are you saying it's a vegan cat? is that it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a fad. >> remember 20 years ago all the celebrities were getting vietnamese pot bellied pigs. the trans child is the new and it's ruined. it's ruined things for african kids who used to get rescued by madonna. now they get

rescued by madonna. now they get rescued by madonna. now they get rescued by charlize theron. and she puts them in a dress. >> what do you think about kemi badenoch highlighting the fact that he's white and she's the only black woman in government? because to me, that actually that sets my teeth on edge slightly. she doesn't need to resort to that. >> that's like, i totally agree with you. i think that's the one part of the statement that i think if anything, though, it does point out the hypocrisy of him seemingly calling out, calling out for this woman, like from a very far left position, but arguably like , who are you but arguably like, who are you to do so? and the idea that there's something someone coming out online like that, he sort of said, oh, i, i, i wish that she'd end and then realised how terrible that sounded. and then was like, oh, no, what i mean is, i don't mean that. no, you just said that she shouldn't exist. like, it doesn't get worse than that. and i just want her to shut up. oh, you want this black woman to shut up? like that's not good optics, but the but the analogy that always comes back in these moments is helen joyce did this brilliant thing about, how it's world war in the world war two. japanese

survivors are kept on fighting on the islands afterwards, and that's going to be in the philippine jungle. yeah. and that's going to be the parents of trans kids, because to admit that they'd made a mistake and gone along with this ideology, that it gone along with this ideology, thatitis gone along with this ideology, that it is a trend and their children are being harmed accordingly. yeah. >> if you've cut your child's unison, whatever it is, you need it to be real. >> you really need. they are in the jungle. >> they are really in it to the end. because to admit otherwise would be to admit a terrible. >> i don't like that analogy. i had a lot of time for those japanese soldiers. they they dug in deep and they survived. and they they held true to their beliefs. >> they came out, they came out fitter and healthier than when they went in. >> they missed 30 years of the worst of consumerism. >> i'm sorry to have triggered you, simon. >> no, i'm not having that. anyway, a glimmer the parents who did that, and they're not like the japanese soldiers because they're not oblivious to it. they've got no excuse. the news is out. the facts are in. the japanese soldiers were deep undercover in the jungle. that's not. no, but they. but the news. no, because there was a historical piece of nonsense . historical piece of nonsense. >> true. actually they did. there was lots of evidence that the war was over, and they didn't want to believe it.

>> about time. helen, i read a big book. >> i read a i read another big interview about that. >> well, the necking stay in your lane choice, right? daily mail have a glimmer for rishi sunak. josh, this is reform who may be stalling after their honeymoon period. >> indeed. has nigel farage peaked, three polls show reform supporter , falling in a glimmer supporter, falling in a glimmer of hope for rishi sunak. nine days before crucial election. this is on the back of, rishi, of, nigel farage coming out and saying sort of arguably pro—putin putin. yes. comments. and that seems to have made an impact. >> i think you're saying it is. >> i think you're saying it is. >> yeah. and that's what this that's what one of the polls says when talking about how the west provoked russia's invasion. i think there's been a little bit of backtracking from mr farage on that point . someone farage on that point. someone put a very two clips together. yes. oh nigel. yes, there's someone very cleverly put two clips together of him in the same position, but as his jackets change between clips

where he was sort of saying we shouldn't be giving more and now, like, weapons and stuff, and then it was like, and now we should or it's interesting, you say backtracking and obviously, you know, there's a divide between us on this. >> i think he was misquoted, misrepresented and mischaracterised. i think what he was saying was entirely in line with what he said in 2014. and it's quite interesting that bofis and it's quite interesting that boris johnson went in and said, this is a historical nonsense, using my word ahistorical. and farage immediately found a newspaper front page from 2016, in which boris johnson had said exactly the same thing. but it is difficult to talk about this issue, to say there's a difference between saying we provoked the west, provoked putin. they gave him an opportunity. they gave him a plausible reason to go in. and then saying he is morally, exculpated from this and it's all our fault. those are different things. anyone who gets involved in current affairs, foreign affairs understands that there are, you know, tiers of, of moral, attribution that are perhaps separated from diplomatic, you know. yeah, absolutely . you

know. yeah, absolutely. you know, errors. >> and you're seeing the mainstream media really coming for reform and coming for farage now because they've seen that he's he's a threat. so, you know, suddenly the system goes into motion. and i mean, they're pulling these these comments out and really kind of taking them out of context, particularly in the context of the reform party, where you know, richard tice has come out and been a staunch supporter of ukraine, even taking vehicles raised, you know, done fundraising and taken vehicles over to ukraine. so, you know, he's done more than any other politician, first of all, all media has it in for politicians and they will find whatever it is. >> i don't think it's reform specifically. and i will say the tory papers have it in for labour and they have it in for reform. >> labour papers have it in for the tories, and they have it in for reform. >> but today someone else from reform and a potential, someone running for to be an mp also came out with pro—putin comments. and there are fact is that as much because they're digging through social media for social media, this guy is giving talks today and gave a specific interview , still praising putin. interview, still praising putin. >> so they're asking him, was he

praising or did he see something, you know, something like that ? like that? >> he said something like, putin is great and he's not, putin is great. >> something like that . pretext >> something like that. pretext i'm paraphrasing. >> i do find it quite, he said, a great leader. >> and then he it may be it may be coincidence, but it's obviously the hate to use the term playbook, but it's exactly the same , smear that was put on the same, smear that was put on trump. right. the idea that he was colluding with putin, putin was colluding with putin, putin was essentially installing trump. and it was interesting that then i've said this many times, but throughout four years of trump presidency, putin didn't make a single move. and it's only when it's biden is in that you have war again. well, i think those are quite good outcomes . outcomes. >> although, i mean, if you look at the actual sort of nuts and bolts of what was happening on the ground, trump used ukraine as a sort of pawn. he said, you know, i'm not going to give you funding and weaponry unless you, you know, do this unless you give me dirt on. yeah, dirt on hunter, which turned out there's loads. so trump was right. >> well, we're halfway through in the second half. we have trouble in canada. rowling

rowing for a row and the white male newsreader in captivity. see you in

and welcome back to headliners. so we have the mirror now , leo, so we have the mirror now, leo, tommy robinson has been helping the mounties with their inquiries. >> yeah, so tommy robinson has been arrested in canada after a speech on suspicion of immigration offences. so he's been arrested on suspicion of immigration offences . that's not immigration offences. that's not what the speech was about. although he probably touched on that topic to be honest. and the mirror says a video shows the rattled, far right activist as he's detained in calgary. and so i went and watched the video. he's not rattled at all. he's like, cool as a cucumber. he even cracks, cracks jokes as they're putting him in the in they're putting him in the in the van, because i think he sort of knows it's a bit of a charade. there's been apparently immigration officials who then interviewed him were baffled as to how he could have been seen to how he could have been seen to have breached any regulations. and it's obviously,

you know, an order that's come from up above, from fidel trudeau. >> there were some big sort of furry bloke, wasn't there, in a lumberjack shirt, who was like plainclothes, and he was asking him what it was, and he said it was like an outstanding immigration warrant. yeah. sort of suggesting it was from some previous visitation. >> there is some irony of being arrested for immigration. yeah. yeah, there i believe alanis morissette is adding a new verse. i think the interesting thing in this article also is, is it says the video shows the shot anti—islam activist as he's handcuffed, i think it's their choice of language is interesting there. >> who ? the mirror. >> who? the mirror. >> who? the mirror. >> the mirror. yeah. because he isn't or he would say that he's not an anti—muslim. no he would. >> he does say that. >> he does say that. >> well, okay. i don't know if you think he's anti—muslim or you're saying you're saying they're saying that he's he's. i would think they'd have it out for him. >> the usual thing people say is he's a racist and he says, i'm not a racist. the issue i have is with islam, which is a belief

system. >> but, but, but so the fact that they've phrased it that way, which is how he would phrase it, oh, okay, i'm saying is interesting that they haven't gone anti—muslim. right. like, you know, i believe he has said a few anti—muslim statements in the past, but the point is the framing here of the mirror, which is fairly minor point, i know, but i think i'd always i'd always, you know, believe tommy robinson to be some terrible, horrific racist, because that's what everybody says. >> and then a sort of research to see what what he'd done. and, you know, a lot of it. i remember when everybody was angry because he stood on the pavement outside, grooming gang court case. and obviously, you know, it's bad that, you know, he could have jeopardised the trial. these trials take years to build. they're very fragile. but then nobody seemed to be angry about what was happening. you know, the crimes that were being done by these men that were on trial. >> but it's quite interesting as well, you know, that both of you said it's sort of ironic that he gets arrested for immigration. i don't think he would call that ironic. i think you, nick, would call it anarcho tyranny, right? yeah. the whole point is that he's trying to draw attention to the fact that there are people nick dixon, who talks about

anarcho tyranny, but it's not his phrase, but he likes to use it. this is the point, though. if you if you play close to the rules , then they'll come for rules, then they'll come for you. yeah. if you if you like, drop a stitch. if, on the other hand, you commit the most flagrant abuse of the entire spectrum of western civilisation , expected codes of behaviour, they would just wave you through. yeah. if he'd waltzed over the border in a in a cafe. >> he calling for the death, death, death of the west. then you know, they'd probably. he probably be sitting in a in a canadian government funded flat right now. >> face the wall. my darling. jk rowling has agreed to meet the shadow mughal rachel reeves to discuss labour's position on hate groups like the lgb alliance. >> jk rowling agrees to meet labour but sets conditions over labelling of hate groups. so actually she hasn't really agreed to meet them. she's sort of. she did a very, again , of. she did a very, again, ironic. ironic is the wrong word. but basically she said , word. but basically she said, i'll be happy to meet after keep prisons single sex, lesbian laboun

prisons single sex, lesbian labour, women's rights network and women's place and the lgb alliance have been given in person meetings because they have so far been denied, meetings with any of the labour leadership. and also angela rayner during her election in 2020 for the labour leadership, she said that she signed or went along with this just ridiculous pro—trans activist document that said that two of those organisations, women's place and lgb alliance, were hate groups, which they they are not. they are just lgb alliance fights for gay rights. >> if indeed we accept that the idea of a hate group is a meaningful category anyway. well, no, but so it's , it's well, no, but so it's, it's great that it's so what's so interesting is that this hasn't been really part of this election. >> i know the election has gone very quickly, but jk rowling has single handedly, by printing that letter in the times, managed to raise this issue, bnng managed to raise this issue, bring it up. because this is really the last chance to push labour on these points as as leo

said earlier, they are going by self—id by the back door. they're talking about pulling back some of the present government's recommendations for not teaching gender ideology in school. harriet harman was on one of our competitors, radio, and she was like, oh, there's no evidence that it's been pushed in our primary schools, apart from lots of evidence , including from lots of evidence, including just my own life and also the threat to women's spaces, because this government, again, we're looking to or promise to in the equality act, say by sex is biological sex. and that needs to be clarified because until it is those safe spaces, supposedly they are under threat. >> but what, josh, what about the feelings of women like me? do you just not care about us? i mean, i could get thrown out of a women's changing room. i could get thrown out of, you know, i wasn't allowed to participate in an under 12 girls karate competition. you would have. that's. who's that fear? >> they would have beaten you up? yeah >> no, i know there's no advantage for women like me. >> it's extraordinary that both you and david tennant could come from the same tiny gene . anyway,

from the same tiny gene. anyway, itv news presenter just strapped a target to his back. leo. so itv news at ten presenter wondered where i was going with straps after the previous . straps after the previous. >> itv news at ten presenter tom bradby says there aren't many white male anchors left, so this is an interview with the radio times, which presumably was only read by white male people. so bradby was asked if he felt exposed to the winds of change because he may be regarded as pale male and stale, which is apparently an acceptable thing to say, even though it'd be incredibly racist if you said it about any other type of people. but he said, i don't, particularly because that's not my decision. there aren't many white male anchors left, so i feel a bit less nervous about that than possibly i should, and yeah, i mean, he's probably going to be pilloried for saying this. remember when nick nick dixon said, you know, i've been cancelled from this thing for being a white male, and everybody acted like he was responsible for transatlantic slavery? yeah, he invented, you

know, do you watch andrew gold's , he's quite good. and he talks about that very . yeah. yeah. about that very. yeah. yeah. he's excellent and discusses the fact that it's just quite openly said to your face. now, if you try and get a, you know, if you try and get a, you know, if you try and get a, you know, if you try and present a documentary, you've made authored research paid for. yeah. and they're like, yeah, that's great, but can we get somebody else? yeah >> yeah. well it's like what we've seen it in comedy. we've seen it everywhere. you think comedy would be one of the mediums that would survive it? because it's one of the few things that relies on a sort of active barometer of success, in terms of laughter and being good at it, being good at it. but actually it hasn't. and it has crept into these comedy clubs that we're famous and their numbers have dropped accordingly. >> i think there are i mean, obviously there are some people like ricky gervais who are just too big to fail, you know, but i think there is a statistically, as andrew says, this is the thing. you can create a mixed bill. one one white guy, one, you know , lesbian, one black you know, lesbian, one black guy, whatever. but it seems like they're set up to one of my jokes. if they are, if that's

one of each category in a bill of four. yeah, but there's 20 times as many white blokes just because that's the demographics of the country. yeah. who are trying to get ahead. that makes the odds very difficult. >> and also there's what's also been pointed out recently is that the problem isn't just this sort of categorisation. it's that so much of the comedy has become the same joke. so it doesn't matter. the perspective is the same. that's true. and so that's even more boring for the audiences . yeah, it's i think audiences. yeah, it's i think the most interesting thing that he says in the article, he says, i feel a bit less nervous about that than i possibly should, i.e. the fact that he is the last white survivor means that he feels like he can't be fired now because he's they would they there's got to be one last one of a breeding pair. i also don't like how the fact that they don't say, they don't say gb news they got like they do sky news they got like they do sky news as presented by this and this. it's like, come on guys, i know. come on telegraph. >> i think he'll be presenting that thing about dodgy holiday companies with angela rippon soon. anyway, jewish support is bouncing back for labour. josh

presumably on space hoppers. >> yeah jewish support for laboun >> yeah jewish support for labour. yeah. bounces back under keir starmer. so, this is a recent survey of about 2000 jewish people. and they found that it's rocketed labour support to 46% under keir starmer. now that is up from 11% at the last election under jeremy corbyn. and that is an incredible jump , jewish people, incredible jump, jewish people, by the way , we're not, you know, by the way, we're not, you know, not in a monogamous, monogamous group . yes, we are monogamous. group. yes, we are monogamous. we are actually a very monogamous saying the quiet part out loud. >> we're not an emotionless group, but, but also, labour tory support has about has gone up, is about 30, which is higher than the uk. >> what's interesting about this is during the last election when jewish comics and our allies and jewish comics and our allies and jewish people were fighting against, the anti—semitism within the labour party as proven by the ehrc report, that labour had broken the law , we labour had broken the law, we were told that we were doing so

because we were actually tory supporters and that we just wanted to, not pay any taxes. and, i don't know if sophie hagen. those are both admirable qualities. i don't know, sophie hagenis qualities. i don't know, sophie hagen is sadly deleted. >> her and deleted her tweet from the times. >> so it's interesting now that that jewish support has sort of bounced back to support was traditionally i mean, as you say, not homogenous, but it did tend to lean leftward, right? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah, i would say as a general rule. so it is indicative of the good job i think starmer has done. yeah. i can't believe is that i'm at this point where i finally get to vote for labour again after the last couple of elections of not and now this whole female thing has happened and the inability of women to deal with women's rights, we have, one more story to get in before the break. >> more jewish news, leo, this is one of the more controversial exemptions to israeli military service. yes. >> so an israeli court has ruled that ultra—orthodox men must be drafted for military service. if

you don't know what the ultra—orthodox jews are, they're like the most jewish looking jews like, if you asked, can you cut to me? you if you asked, can you waste a dry jew? you know, they're really , really crass, they're really, really crass, right? but that's the they've got the curly bits. yeah. >> and significantly, of course , >> and significantly, of course, hugely fertile. right. huge. they have families. >> i think the average families, the average family size is like 5 or 6. >> they, they keep you can cut to me now. >> yeah. yeah. >> yeah. yeah. >> but they do virtually keep israel viable i think because like as with all like western developed countries, they slip below fertility rate otherwise because they're, because they're so sort of, hardcore. >> i mean, they're ultra, ultra orthodox . so they're going to orthodox. so they're going to they're projected to become 21% of the population by 2042. they make make up 13% of the population at the moment. they've traditionally been exempted from military service. so they can so the men can study the torah, which is the what are they called, the schools. >> they have a name, five books. >> they have a name, five books. >> oh, the yeshiva which i've studied at have you are you how

long is it? >> if they need to. i can't do military service because i've got to read. >> and even that a lifetime of study. >> really? that's entry level. the talmud is the big one, isn't it? >> well, that's rabbis arguing with each other over millennia. >> okay. >> okay. >> but the but the torah study, it's all about interpretation. so you could literally just be reading the same passage over and over again. and there's a thousand different commentaries on it. >> it's a bit like match of the day. >> yeah, it's a little bit like that. >> but anyway, they're now gonna have to go and fight in the in the army. >> and i think and a lot of people are very happy about this in israel. now, i'm not israeli. i don't have any input on that society. but a lot of people think it's a very good thing. i personally do think it's a very good thing as well. and also it could bring down the israeli government because netanyahu has a lot of his support from that contingency of orthodox jews who didn't want to fight. and it's just it's fair. so that's part three in the bag coming up. >> we have quirkier end the news lavatory innovations on the

and welcome back to the final section of tonight's headliners. we kick off with the daily star. they have a story about an unusually well targeted protest. josh. >> very nice for arrested at climate as climate protesters take a dump in lake at rishi sunak's house. this is a youth demand and this is a 21 year old student from manchester. he went, he had a curry before, did he really? no, no. >> okay. i don't think you need to embellish this . no. to embellish this. no. >> well, that'd be a racist hate crime. >> that would be. yeah, yeah. >> that would be. yeah, yeah. >> but, also , i'm wondering if >> but, also, i'm wondering if he had some eight something with, like, orange food dye. oh, maybe that might have helped as well . it doesn't show. well. it doesn't show. >> can you explain, though? did he squat under the waterline and then evacuate or did what he said? >> they cut away the video. unfortunately. cut away, so we. there's no proof of actual poo? no poo gate here. they could. he could be lying either. yeah, but

he had a shirt on, like dirty harry. yeah. >> i mean, i know what you're thinking. >> there is a nice thing about the, the connection between the, our rivers and how dirty they are and the sewage there. >> so there is some. >> so there is some. >> this isn't cleaning them up. this is adding to the problem. zelenskyy said they sent out a press release saying the young man murdered a brown snake in the multi—millionaire's lake and said he murdered a brown snake. >> is that slang? >> is that slang? >> also? >> also? >> i've never heard of that before. >> that manchester slang. >> that manchester slang. >> i'm gonna start using it. also, they're called youth demand. one of them is 52, another one's 43. it's like you're not. especially for manchester. that's. >> hello my fellow brand snakes. >> hello my fellow brand snakes. >> i don't know if he does go to jail though. hopefully. yeah. then, it would be nice when he's sort of like in the yard with everyone. what are you in here for? >> yeah, let me show you. >> yeah, let me show you. >> i think actually, he might. he might be given some preferential treatment if i killed one out in the prime minister's lake. i think that's honestly, it's a lot better than attacking oil paintings, isn't it ? yeah. monuments. yeah. yeah,

it? yeah. monuments. yeah. yeah, yeah. telegraph have a story there that initially set my spidey senses tingling, but no, this is not. this is not trans waffle. >> in fact, i had the exact same thought. so a train company has put it, put sanitary bins in mens lavatories to reduce incontinence anxiety. so southern railways has installed bins for disposal of pads and nappies as part of prostate cancers. uk's boys need bins campaign. so, you know, normally you'd see sanitary bins in a in a male, toilet and you'd think, oh, this is some sort of trans thing, blah blah blah , but, you thing, blah blah blah, but, you know, actually it's to get rid of a medical thing. >> and actually a lot of blokes, they have the stats over 1 >> and actually a lot of blokes, they have the stats over1 in 6 over 60 or something, 1 in 3 over 60 or something, 1 in 3 over 65 have urinary continence problems and 1 in 20 over 60 have bowel incontinence problems. so yeah, you've got to be very, very unlucky if you. >> simon. >> simon. >> yeah i know i'm 59. josh i'm still in the clear and i will be sometime. >> you get that train quite a lot don't you. up from brighton . lot don't you. up from brighton. >> oh god love him. so anyway,

that's all good. we're happy with that. although i bet it is. it's trans waffle by the back doon it's trans waffle by the back door, of course, isn't it? yeah. >> and also, it's got me thinking. i'm not incontinent, but i do like convenience. yeah. and i don't like touching the, you know, door handles and toilets and stuff. so i might get one of these. >> you've learned the alan partridge system for getting in without touching the handles. yeah. >> i'm gonna get i'm gonna get a nappy. >> everyone's favourite encouraging stepdad is at it again. josh, to be fair, he didn't know quite what a disappointing spectacle gareth and the boys were going to put on this evening. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> keir starmer slaps down gary lineker over branding england team . poo as labour leader says team. poo as labour leader says country needs to get behind the footballers. the thing is, this isn't a slap down at all. he just said, oh come on, there's an important game. let's just get behind the team. yeah, that's not a slap down. no, that's not a slap down. no, that's a, that's a that's kyrees and capable of delivering a slap down. >> is he certainly not towards gary lineker. >> well gary lineker just he probably said something like oh this squad they're like 1930s germany every for gary lineker

everything is like 90. you see that monitor that jacket. that's like 1930s germany. >> he reminded me of rosa luxemburg . yeah. luxemburg. yeah. >> we can't stop these . >> we can't stop these. >> we can't stop these. >> these unless. unless he sees mobs on the streets of london calling for the extermination of jews. then he says nothing. >> yeah. then he's quite strange. >> final story. we got about 30s to get through this one. daily mail, a bit of anthropology, leo. >> so britain's mean, mean no longer be masters of small talk, as research finds that 88% of us find it difficult and awkward to chat to strangers. yeah, of course we're british. we're british. i mean, how how do autistic people even get diagnosed in britain? like none of us want to? >> what i thought was weird, they said no longer. we're no longer the best. i don't know when will we ever be brazilian? >> yeah , i don't know. >> yeah, i don't know. >> yeah, i don't know. >> well, the french in the 17th century. small talk with little lacy handkerchiefs. the brits were always like, oh, yeah, we just do big talk. >> big beef. yeah. >> big beef. yeah. >> how would you think? >> how would you think? >> well, no, i mean, yeah, the good thing i can do about ten minutes on trans with anybody. small talk. that's my gift.

>> i'll have a vodka martini. >> i'll have a vodka martini. >> the show is nearly over. let's take another quick look at wednesday's front pages. we have the daily mail. wednesday's front pages. we have the daily mail . starmer. male the daily mail. starmer. male readers were right about labour in 2019, and that's why we've changed the telegraph cabinet minister claimed he won £2,000 on an election bet. the times labour man suspended for betting on election . the guardian fifth on election. the guardian fifth tory faces investigation as election betting scandal grows. friede assange is owing home. what does that mean? owing home? anyway? he's on his way. and finally , the daily star finally, the daily star armageddon out here. and those were your front pages. that's all we have time for. thank you to my guests, josh and leo. it'll be andrew doyle tomorrow with leo again and nick dixon. if you're watching at 5 am, stay tuned for breakfast. otherwise, it's been a great pleasure. thank you for your company. see you again soon. good night. >> a brighter outlook with boxt

solar sponsors of weather on gb news . news. >> evening. welcome to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. very warm and humid again for most places tomorrow it will be a bit cloudier across parts of the east, particularly eastern scotland . we are kind of between scotland. we are kind of between two areas of high pressure and old weather fronts. been providing quite a lot of cloud today over parts of scotland and northern ireland, and still producing a little bit of light rain over eastern scotland. 1 or 2 heavy showers for southern scotland and northern england. they should tend to fade away. for most, it's a dry night, lengthy, clear skies across the south turning a bit misty along some eastern coast and perhaps in the south—west and temperatures holding up maybe no lower than 17in the capital, but a much fresher feel in the northwest for much of northern ireland and western scotland. so a more comfortable night here. we should start off with quite a bit of sunshine in western scotland, but in the east of scotland, but in the east of scotland quite a grey start and likely to stay fairly cloudy here through the day. could even

be a little bit of rain at times as well . a brighter day though as well. a brighter day though for northern ireland compared to today. a bit more in the way of sunshine. quite a bit of cloud over the far north of england, but the bulk of england and wales dry and sunny, just a bit misty around some coasts in devon and cornwall, and the threat of this mist and low cloud lingering across parts of the north sea coast as well. i suspect, though, much of england and wales just dry and sunny and very warm once more . plenty of very warm once more. plenty of sunny spells for northern ireland and the west of scotland . but in the eastern side, as i mentioned, always likely to stay fairly cloudy with maybe a little bit of rain at times. nofice little bit of rain at times. notice cloud and rain is edging towards the west of northern ireland as well. temperatures well a little higher for northern ireland compared to today and across england and wales again, mid 20s, maybe up to 31. in the capital. we are going to see a change though as low pressure comes in. you can see the swirl here, bringing a band of cloud and patchy rain across the country , followed by across the country, followed by plenty of showers. that is a cold front and so it will

introduce cooler conditions. one more very warm day across the south—east on thursday, but turning fresher for all by fri day. >> friday. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on news

>> good evening and welcome to vote 2024. >> the people decide with me. camilla tominey coming up on tonight's show, we're going to discuss the fact that migrant crossings have reached a record high since january. we're also going to be giving you the latest on the tory betting scandal. and we'll be discussing sir keir starmer's crusade to make knife crime a moral mission

we'll also hear from former england manager big sam allardyce ahead of tonight's big game against slovenia. and as always, i'd love you to get in touch with me with your thoughts on tonight's topics. visit gbnews.com/yoursay. but first, here's the news with polly middlehurst. >> camilla, thank you and good evening to you. well, suspended labour candidate kevin craig says he deeply regrets betting against himself and taking a punt on the tories, winning in his own constituency. he says he'll fully comply with any investigation and that comes after former conservative candidates craig williams and laura saunders also face investigations amid allegations of betting on the date of the general election . mr williams general election. mr williams says he committed an error of judgement, but not an offence. meanwhile, labour is pledging to

halve knife crime within a decade if it wins power. the party's plan includes creating a new cross—government coalition to work on solutions, as well as community hubs involving youth workers and careers advisers. sir keir starmer says cracking down on knife crime is for him a moral mission. >> i was the chief prosecutor for five years and therefore i prosecuted many cases involving the use of knives and i have made it my personal mission to deal with this. it is a moral mission as far as i'm concerned. it isn't a question of urban versus rural. in fact, i think there's more knife crime. sadly, in rural areas, at least it's going up more quickly. and i think it's not fair on the families we've been hearing from this morning to simply point the finger to somebody else. this is something which a government needs to take responsibility for . i will take responsibility for on a cross—party basis, to make the change that we need now. >> a former engineer claims the
