have a look at those front pages. so the daily mail is leading with pm only debate will be how not? if we build the guardian has turmoil for labour in wales after getting resigned as first minister. the telegraph is leading with johnson asks trump to stand by ukraine. the times has got locals will lose right to block new homes and inus reaves pushing for brexit reset to help boost uk economy. finally, the daily star get us klopp who knows what that means. those were your front pages. right. we're going to begin with wednesday's metro carry has the details. >> oh not the time times. >> oh not the time times. >> oh is it the times we do the metro, what have you. you know what the times is a step up from the metro. so let's go with the correct version. should we go with the times? >> well, there's a couple of stories here worth talking about. a thing, but i'm going to start with this one, which is, that locals are going to lose the right to block new homes. and this is the, this is the

labour party trying to meet their housing needs or their their housing needs or their their promises, at least. so are going to our housing needs. you're right. >> yes. think collectively. >> yes. think collectively. >> house, you live in this country. >> i wonder how many houses you can give me. they're going to force councils. councils to identify lands. they're planning a new policy that's going to be robust, which is i love when i use words like this. i think words like that really mean something. you know, they wouldn't say robust unless it was going to be so the kind of thing we're going to see is that local residents will not be able to reject new houses, right. but they will be able to have a choice about the style of them. okay. so that's giving them a little something. okay. so you can you can say if it's josh or not. >> fair enough. doesn't it. we need to build. yeah we need to build. >> yeah, yeah we, tories had, these, these, targets. >> they were never met because they were rejected. and this stuff needs to be forced through. and i guess this is how they can do it later on. we've got a story about devolution, more devolution in this country. so it's going to be interesting to see. there's sort of two things here where they're trying to sort of have control, yet also give away control. i don't

know how, but slightly conflicting. >> we'll see. josh, you've staked a lot on the success of this labour government. oh yes. over the years i put myself on the line here. so let's hope it all works out. yeah, i know, just for your sake, i don't want people tweeting me and please also don't tweet me. >> i know i forgot to i didn't shave my ears today, i forgot. >> yeah it looks, it looks bit. >> there's a bit of it's a bit simian. >> it's worse for me. it's fine for them. okay yes. yeah, yeah, don't attack me with your ears. but of course, this is also building up for the king's speech tomorrow, which is going to be incredibly boring. and he's going to talk about the changes of the house of lords, national nationalisation of the railways and more power to mayors . mayors. >> yes, but he gets dressed up. it's very glitzy. yes, he does there is that too. >> yeah. and there's 35 bills. do they also watch the king's speech afterwards. >> what . >> what. >> what. >> who. the film. i mean, i wonder if they do the king's speech and then they all get together and they go, you know what would be funny, guys, let's watch the king's speech. >> i didn't know anyone actually watches this king's speech because they already told us absolutely everything that's going to be in it anyway. he's just repeating. >> no, but like i say, it's for the glamour. it's not for the

glamour. >> it's the pomp. >> it's the pomp. >> you have to think in terms of that. okay, we're going to move on to the telegraph. the front coven on to the telegraph. the front cover, josh, what are the telegraph leading with? >> on wednesday, johnson asked trump to stand by ukraine. we've got a lovely picture there of our former pm, and he's combed his hair for this one, which is nice. well, sort of. sort of. yeah and, and we have a trump, who's alive, which is great. if you want to have a job, and i mean, i'm just saying that people who say the opposite, not that i have. i'm just saying the people who've not. i'm just. i'm glad you want to put my. josh. i just want to want to put my foot in it. i just want to be very clear that i'm very happy he's alive. >> well, of course he is. of course he's still. that wasn't ironic. here he is. you know, it's kind of it's kind of incredible that he's right back at work, i think. >> i reckon he would have got in even if he'd been killed. i think he's that, you know, nothing. nothing stops him, guy. i think he would have just been rather biden is so unpopular. >> yeah, something like that. >> yeah, something like that. >> even a dead president gets in. >> but there's been there's been a johnson.

>> can i just say johnson has staked an awful lot on ukraine, hasn't it? >> well, this is i mean, this is the big part of the story. i will just quickly say that trump there's been a lot of, comment on his bandage and a lot of conspiracy theories about the size of his bandage. are you joking? no. all all online today. people have been going on about the size of his bandage. >> i think if you're shot in the ear, i think you went far enough to wear a bandage. yes. >> it might be a bit of a badge. he's got a bigger bandage with you. i would, i'd wear a everyone to see my, my, you know, i don't think there's any brave i am. >> this is one of the most. i've heard a few ridiculous conspiracy theories, but this is i wear a helmet. >> like, it's not like it's not like i'd have an arrow for a bandage. >> it makes any difference to the nature of the wound, or that people will forget what happened on saturday. unless you wear a bandage. >> bob has got the biggest bandage. it could be a bit drama queen though, couldn't it? anyway, but yes, you're absolutely right. yeah. johnson ukraine was arguably one of the best things he did. he wants to maintain that legacy, supporting ukraine being so fervently supportive and standing up to putin. and trump has said essentially he's repeated, if i

get in, i'm going to end it on day one. it's like, how are you going to do that? >> well, we'll find out. yeah, absolutely. i mean, boris johnson is considered a bit of a hero in ukraine because of his injuries. yes that's right. >> yeah. he got he got involved straight away and was helping them with arms and made loads of promises to them. and then of course he was out. >> he didn't call zelenskyy putin. so that's really that really helps an awful lot. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yes. you know that's one. anyway, let's move on to the front cover of the i kerry i think you've got this one haven't you. >> i've got this story here, but that doesn't mean i know anything about it. but this is give it a crack anyway. i'm going to give it a crack because nothing stops me talking. the chancellor, rachel reeves, is pushing for brexit reset to help boost uk economy. so she's using words like long term solutions and boost growth opportunities. and what does she mean by smoothing out kinks ? which is smoothing out kinks? which is a little bit more questionable, but smoothing out kinks? yeah, we've got to smooth out kinks in trading. no, you absolutely have to smooth out kinks just in life generally. >> but what does she mean about a brexit reset? is she talking about let's just slightly rejoin the eu by stealth. yes, that kind of thing. >> salami tactics, as is often

called, you know, the salami tactics. i think that came from the programme. yes, minister, but i'm not sure whether they already were. the term was already were. the term was already around. you explain it. the salami tactics is i give you. i'm not going to give you a salami. that's wrong because everyone's against me giving you a whole salami. but i'll give you a slice of salami and i'll give you another slice of salami and another slice salami built up until you have a whole salami. i'm not explaining this very badly. it was better on. yes, minister, but even if i did it, even if i did it really well, it would look like i'm just reading off. no, that's clear now. >> and can you just clarify what she means by brexit reset? >> i think it's what it says here. smoothing out the kinks in trading. >> what does that mean? >> what does that mean? >> that's a little bit of a salami. you don't have to have the full salami. you can. we can definitely have a bit of salami. >> why are we talking about kinks and salami? >> i want to know the details. >> i want to know the details. >> okay. de—banking go with salami. we can't get the salami right. we need the salami to come over. we can't export our salami. >> is that because salami has got kinks in it? and you can't exploit many kinks? >> you can't have a kinky salami. >> we need to cut this salami up. we need to eat the salami. but brexit was a tsunami of

salami. brexit was not mentioned really at all in the recent election. no one wanted to touch it. fair enough. but we have to be adults here. there are some things that need to be fixed, that labour are very clear about not wanting to go back into the eu, but that doesn't mean that the we can't improve our relationship with them. there are largest trading partner or they were. yes. so that's let's give them a little bit of salami without eating a whole salami. >> what about vegetarians? i'm a vegetarian. i find this whole line of we don't care about you. sure, all the vegetarians have turned off by by now. yeah, well, i hope so. >> we've triggered them. >> we've triggered them. >> let's move on to the, the mirror. josh what? what are the mirror. josh what? what are the mirror are leading with on wednesday? strictly new regime. >> so this is, there was some bloke, there's a tv show called, strictly come dancing. it's very popular. i've never seen it. i've never seen it, but people love it, which is great, you know? not as much. they love us, but they love it. and, some guy, one of the dancers has resigned . one of the dancers has resigned. now, you would think that this might be a sexual thing, but i don't think it is like i. he'd maybe made some advances towards his dancing partner. they're now bringing in chaperones in the room. but what it actually seems like it really is, is these dancers are basically sounds

like they're kind of bullying the celebrities that they're dancing with. or at least that's the vibe that comes out of this article, whether it is actual bullying or not, whether it's these lily wimpish celebrities. lily. yeah celebrities who can't handle a bit of hard work. and this guy, you know, they've been trained since birth to dance in italy. yeah, that's the pasodoble. you must dance. you know, they do it very aggressively. if you've seen strictly ballroom, you must dance. strictly ballroom, you must dance . move the paso doble. can dance. move the paso doble. can i get a can i get a chaperone? >> nowhere for you to go, i'm afraid. this is the situation. it's called. >> it's called strictly, for heaven's sake. they should call. they should call it strictly. and we mean it. yeah. come dancing. these are people who are training people in dancing. and yes, i think they're exactly talking, like. like you just demonstrate dance. it sounds. it sounds a bit soft to me. >> having a chaperone. yes. i mean, very old fashioned. >> well, to feel bullied, like someone's teaching you to dance. you're a rubbish dancer. >> you need someone. shout, dance the paso doble. >> that's exactly what you need. >> that's exactly what you need. >> the thing is, josh, not everyone has seen strictly

ballroom and they won't understand the reference. >> but you have many times. yeah, it's a great. that's my favourite bit. yeah that's the doo doo doo doo. >> feel the heartbeat . >> feel the heartbeat. >> feel the heartbeat. >> honestly, i need a chaperone. i'm not happy. i'm not happy at all. >> okay, well, that's all we've got time for. for this section. but coming up, we've got veeps who make us weep, devolution deserts and which labour mp has to be sworn in again? find

welcome back to headliners. it's your first look at wednesday's newspapers. and i'm still andrew doyle. of course, but kerry and josh have switched bodies. very mysterious. >> i'm josh . >> i'm josh. >> i'm josh. >> hello, josh. >> hello, josh. >> thank you. it's nice being josh. it's really easy. >> do you feel a lot cleverer now? >> i do not. this is we're going to go into the story. are we going to talk about being josh? because i don't think this whimsical excursion. >> so we're going to move on to the first story. what is this,

the first story. what is this, the independent? i believe we'll get to identity stuff at some point. of course we will. so, yeah, >> so this is the independent andifs >> so this is the independent and it's a fury over trump's vice president, running mate, jd vance and porn star name, by the way. >> well , jd vance. yeah. jd vance. >> what is jd vance said that's so upsetting. >> what's the okay for a start? for a start , he's the new vp and for a start, he's the new vp and he's, he's had a number of questionable things in the past, including suggesting that trump is , is hitler. and it's is, is hitler. and it's interesting. he's taken this job as vp because i don't know whether to read from that, that he was ever sincere in his views or whether he's sort of sell out to get the job or whether he's capable of maybe capable of compromise. i think that was back in 2016. >> and also it was in a private conversation, not it wasn't a private conversation. and, you know, we all say funny. i think maybe he's being funny. >> maybe we're doing it saying we've got to work out where his jokes start. and stop here, i think is a compliment. so for a start, the paper. yeah, he probably did get, the paper does a thing that i hate immediately. they do this an awful lot. ,39 this is how it reads. the 39 year old said he'd been wondering which truly islamist

country would be the first to gain access to nuclear weapons. the very next paragraph says i was talking about, you know, what is the first truly islamist country that will get a nuclear weapon ? this is so often that weapon? this is so often that you get this with the media. it says it's the kind of thing going. we're going to go over to the prime minister, who's who said that the deputy prime minister is an idiot. and then you get the prime minister saying the deputy prime minister is an idiot. you just told us word for word what they were going to say. and then he just repeated it. >> so why do the media do more outraged about this than the actual statement? >> because this is more outrageous. >> let's focus, though, on on the substance rather than the journalistic style. let my angry so easily just dispense with it. now look, the thing is, okay, let me be clear about this because i think it's important to note he is making a joke. it's a joke. it's a joke jab which actually got laughs. >> so he's really talking about france, right? >> the context is absolutely clear. why are we all getting. look, the thing about jennie bondis look, the thing about jennie bond is he is a bit, of a what? they describe him as a bit of a bulldog. yeah. he does have a habit of saying temperamental things, which is one of the

reasons why he will appeal to trump. and also, you know, i mean, to give an example, since the assassination attempt, he said that some of the rhetoric by joe biden was directly responsible for the shooting, which is not true, but that's ridiculous. but but this is what i'm saying is that he has that kind of quality about him, but he's also extremely intelligent and extremely competent. so what do you make of this? why is he not allowed to make a joke, though? >> well, i mean, yeah, if it is joe, but it's a joke. it doesn't really make much sense because it's the opposite of the truth. like there has to be some truth to it. and the reality is that labour actually has had a problem with islamists over through the election. they lost seats because they lost seats because of it. and so the idea that that labour somehow is, is in ad hock to islamists is just is the opposite of it . so every is the opposite of it. so every joke needs some truth. yeah, but you can critique . you can critique. >> yeah. he doesn't know the ins and outs of what's going on in the uk. and the joke doesn't work, but he's still allowed to make a joke. and actually baroness warsi has actually said this was islamophobia. >> well, and she said it was

racist. and it's like as a phobia as we've discussed, it's a word that doesn't exist. and it's not racist either. if you want to say it's bigotry, that's fine, but please use the precise words. >> i think it's just a joke that didn't work because he didn't know the background. >> it doesn't work because he said will, he said he said which country will be the first to get nuclear weapons? which makes no sense. he could have said which country was the first to get nuclear weapons. we've had nuclear weapons. we've had nuclear weapons. we've had nuclear weapons for a very long time, so it suggests we haven't got any. okay, so right, technically, again, a joke that didn't work then. >> no, i can't accept technically wrong jokes. >> absolutely not. >> absolutely not. >> moving on now to wednesday's express. labour have taken immediate action during our population explosion to let in more yes . more yes. >> labour delays, huge crackdown on foreign workers after record population increase. so we've got the king's speech tomorrow, one of the things that was expected to be announced was going to be this idea, this legislation that companies that, basically bring in too many workers from abroad or don't won't be allowed to if they don't also provide training for british people to do those jobs or pay the minimum wage to

british people. so it's a it's a good legislation that's something that is needed. >> but why delay it? >> but why delay it? >> delay it because we don't have the systems in place and we need this country to keep on running. and so once the training has to be set up, we can't just suddenly go right tomorrow we're going to not allow anybody in. and then who is actually going to be taking care of our elderly who are going to be working these factories or whatever that we that people like myself who are useless? >> well, they're not saying to completely obliterate migration. what they're saying is that they need to drastically reduce it, because under the tories it has exponentially increased. i mean, kari, do you trust, labour to sort out the migration issue? >> no, i think there's some things like this. this is, of course, building up to the incredibly dull king's speech tomorrow as well. but, they've just got in, you know, it's going to take a little while to, to get a number of laws in process. yeah. >> an extra year, apparently. sorry. an extra year. >> well, yeah, an extra year. look, there's always this thing where everybody wants everything immediately. everything's now. nowadays we want a law, now we want when do we want it? now.

ceasefire. now. stop oil. now everything's now. it actually makes sense. this is a very complicated set of laws to bring in. so it makes sense to take some. maybe a year is a bit too long, i would say, but i'm no expert. we shall find out in government. >> let's move on now to the telegraph . israel has a new telegraph. israel has a new strategy for obtaining a ceasefire with hamas, utterly obliterating them , obliterating them, >> hamas leader under pressure. >> hamas leader under pressure. >> he didn't like that link . >> he didn't like that link. it's funny. >> i don't need your approval, carrie. >> you're just like, oh, do it again . no, no, no i don't no, again. no, no, no i don't no, i don't want you to be upset. do it again. i know this might come back. >> this doesn't upset me. you know, if anything, it empowers me. does it? really? yeah. yeah, isuck me. does it? really? yeah. yeah, i suck on on your rejection, >> we're being told that, your your your. how do you say. yeah anyway. what a name. yahya. sinwar, it's a good crack at it. it's all right. >> who is he? >> who is he? >> this is according to the cia. he's the, the leader of hamas. who when he was last in israel, they they, they operated on him to remove his brain tumour. they

gave him his life, and then he used it to, kill, torture and, you know, take a load of hostages from israel. so. so the architect, maybe that wasn't quite as useful as they thought. yeah, and we're being told by someone in the cia intelligence that he's not concerned with his mortality. i don't know whether how they could know that. maybe he was. maybe they're listening to him. and he said, i don't care about my mortality. you don't know whether when everyone left the room, he. then i do care, you know. yeah, but but he's really scared the whole point that hamas say that they love death more than anyone else likes life. >> that's the point. >> that's the point. >> it's a death cult. >> it's a death cult. >> so they're not afraid of death because they think they're getting all those virgins? yeah. is that what it is? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> love a virgin. >> love a virgin. >> i don't quite get the virgin thing, because in heaven, they're not going to be virgins forever, are they? i mean, you know, once you've got through them all how to say this politely, they're no longer virgins, are they? the rest of eternity you've got they have. >> they have an excess of supply of virgins. maybe. >> is that what it is? you get replacement virgins.

>> replacement virgins? >> replacement virgins? >> you're making this up, i'm sure. >> no, i am a theologian. is that right? and quranic scholar. so i understand, i don't believe or he may well have said that to somebody, but i don't believe it's true, because what he says is he's not concerned with his mortality, but he's really concerned with is that he gets blamed for civilian suffering in gaza. >> now , hamas is strategy. >> now, hamas is strategy. that's the one of the core tenets of its strategy is for civilians in gaza to suffer and to die. they, hamas hides themselves within the population using them as shields specifically for this purpose. so then the rest of the world turns around and goes, oh, look at israel. they're evil and whatnot. when they're israel is trying to win a war and get its civilians back. so the idea that he's saying that and also when we've seen how, palestinian civilians, protest, they get beaten up and murdered by hamas. >> so what is the odds really , >> so what is the odds really, that hamas is going to agree to a ceasefire given those circumstances? >> i think they're getting desperate now because, yeah, we're seeing so many cases of people turning against them and

speaking out now. and of course, their numbers are extremely diminished. they've lost a great deal of weaponry, but i don't know , we can read from this know, we can read from this because this is an odd sort of based on intelligence report saying he doesn't want to be leader anymore . but, how could leader anymore. but, how could they possibly know that? i mean, he might have been throwing a strop, you know. no, i don't want to rule in hamas. >> are saying that they're willing to now not be left in charge. is a big deal, but it's also relevant. >> sorry, i have to move on. we're going on to the mail now, and the mail is asking a question. would you sell out for £90,000? >> yep. >> yep. >> i know you would. >> i know you would. >> yes, yes, yes, as a rhetorical question, about £10,000. i believe. is my salary here anyway, embarrassing moment labour mp clive lewis. not that i was selling out. i say exactly what i want, has had to pledge allegiance to king, again after an anti—monarchy protest. so, this is the period where all the new mps or old mps are redoing their their, pledges. yeah. and part of it is they have to say, pledge allegiance to the king

and his heirs. he missed that and his heirs. he missed that and his heirs. and he gave a big like, oh, i'm. i don't like the royalty. and now they've called him back in because if he doesn't do it properly, then he could lose his seat and not get paid. >> it's interesting, isn't it, because, you know, various people have been taking these oaths. i know that sinn fein, of course, because of the principle of abstentionism don't take the oath and don't take the seat. but the sdlp guy from derry, who i always want to call clint eastwood, but it's colin eastwood. he did this thing of saying i completely hate the fact that i have to say this, but i'm saying it so that i can take my seat and then says the oath, and is that the way to do it, >> maybe state your views. do not mess with british pomp and ceremony. we need. and we love our pomp and ceremony. and this is what you have to say, and that's how you get it. do i agree? no. i think what he said was actually pretty harmless, you know, he just. it should have been called back . gentle have been called back. gentle objection. but yes, he's been called back like a naughty schoolboy to keep saying until you get it right. and that's quite right on the forehead and so on. so on. >> so on. >> i don't think he needed to be called back. i think they

deliberately are playing a joke on him. yeah, sort of like to get him to come back in. >> so what are you saying, kerry? that they should get rid of the oath or the stipulation? >> i never liked, pomp and ceremony for the. you know, it's. but at the same time, i think it does give a country a character that, sort of holds. it's a sort of a glue that holds. >> yeah, but if they if they if they didn't, if they made it optional, then we'd have to have sinn fein sitting there, you know, and yeah, that's right. >> of course sinn fein, you know, they can get expenses. >> what are they claiming. they get expenses. >> they get they get office space, they get all sorts of perks. >> expenses. what are they, what are they expenses? mcdonald's, burger king i spoke to a soldier once, though, who was talking about the allegiance because he makes allegiance to the royal family at that time, it was to the queen. >> i asked him what happens if the queen attacks me? you know, as a subject, are you protecting me or the queen? and it's the queen, right? in this case, now it's the king. if the if the king now. machine gun a whole load of civilians. yeah, he would if. i'm just saying if the king's speech might get exciting, you know, yeah. then the army would have to protect them against and kill the citizens. okay. >> that sucks. i'm going to guess that that hypothetical is

an unlikely outcome. >> so let's just the point, though, is it? >> this is excited, by the way, who who represents me the first time that someone's done their pledge in welsh, the new, foreign office minister, he did his first ba.2 in welsh and he's still there. >> no one he's still he's still there. i just wanted to do the joke about him doing the joke that the pledge in welsh, he's still there. it was a welsh is a good joke. >> josh. josh, we have to accept that tonight. any jokes that are made? kyrees just going to completely stymie it. cut it off. >> hell with it. >> hell with it. >> we want people who are humour able to write that joke. it was able to write that joke. it was a good joke . anyway, we're gonna a good joke. anyway, we're gonna we're at the halfway point now, and long time viewers will know this is where we get to the gristle. we've got jack black attack, terrorist mummies and marvel. marvel see you

welcome back to headliners. your first look at wednesday's newspapers. i'm andrew doyle. we're going to get straight back into it with wednesday's guardian. now, josh, i don't think these guys know the meaning of tenacious.

>> no, they don't . they really >> no, they don't. they really should look it up. jack black puts tenacious d on hold after band mates trump shooting comment. so, if anybody is familiar with tenacious d, the band jack black is obviously massively famous. he was in a sort of, duo with kyle gass, and they were on in a gig in australia and he, they made a joke like it was his. but kyle's birthday and he said, what do you want for your birthday? i wanted trump to not. >> well, actually, we do have a clip . we have a clip. so let's clip. we have a clip. so let's let's throw to the clip. now happy birthday . and make a wish . happy birthday. and make a wish. >> cancer . >> cancer. >> cancer. >> don't miss trump next time . >> don't miss trump next time. >> don't miss trump next time. >> so we were talking earlier about jokes that go wrong. that went wrong to the extent that he has actually apologised for the joke, should he? >> well, jack black has sort of. they got on with the gig and now it seems like afterwards he sort of said, he says, i was

blindsided by what was said at the show. so i think he was he really was blindsided by the response. >> but they've cancelled the gigs. but the guy himself who made the joke, yeah, he has, he has apologised. he said it was misjudgement. >> everyone's apologised. yeah. how much apology do we need for a joke, you know, also he said the wish out loud, which means it doesn't count, right? >> right . >> right. >> right. >> you're right. you can't say a wish out loud. you have to keep it in. we know this right? >> maybe his. maybe his inside wish. >> telling you. >> telling you. >> i've never heard that. no. yeah, yeah. >> no. what? >> no. what? >> you don't you don't tell the wish. >> yes. >> yes. >> you cannot say the wish then. then you cancel it out. it stops it from happening. >> you know what? if you if he had come out with that as his response, that would be genius. >> yes, he should have said that. he should have said i was stopping it, counting as i as i said, it, i say i wanted the opposite. >> i was fighting for his life. yes, by saying it out loud, i was. i made it not happen. >> yeah, absolutely. >> yeah, absolutely. >> but are people saying, kerry, that this is just like inappropriate, tasteless, that kind of thing? or are they saying that they think that this joke is incitement to violence? oh the australian senator ralph babbitt is really annoyed about it.

>> i won't even read all his. yeah, they should be cancelled. neven yeah, they should be cancelled. never, ever should anyone cancel? they should be kicked out of the country. yeah. look, i'd say this. it's a joke, on the one hand, i've said worse things on stage than this. on the other hand, i've said much worse things than this on stage, but there is a thing. a friend of mine observed this a while ago that there is a thing that seems more common on the left wing to you call people by the c word, and to wish that they'd die. yes. and i don't know whether it's confirmation bias , whether it's confirmation bias, but i've noticed that more and more as well. and i seriously hope that all those left wing c words explode . words explode. >> well, speaking of left wing, i don't know quite what to make of that. >> there's a lot of left wing people who are or far left or whatever who will say cancel culture isn't real. yes you know, it's all just accountability for words. are we here and whatnot? yeah. so this is , that so this is obviously is, that so this is obviously proof that now this is happening to a left wing party, but i don't think it's to do with left and right. >> i think we've always had people on both sides suggesting that. so we say fruity language on the other side is causing violence in of itself . and of

violence in of itself. and of course, language isn't violence. words aren't violence. but but people should be free to criticise him . but i don't know. criticise him. but i don't know. how about taking it so far as to cancel gigs and that kind of thing? >> it's a joke and it should be. you know how it should be taken. a joke should be taken as a joke. i don't think it's a good joke, you know. and it was a silly thing to say. and i don't think it's very well, what i'm saying is the same as the j.d. vance thing earlier. >> yes. like we can say we can criticise the joke and say the joke didn't work. the joke was tasteless, but i think cancelling things and getting to try and get people sacked for it, that's where it's too far a joke. yeah, well, but but there is definitely an element of right, the right sort of jumping on this. >> yeah. or anybody saying something that they don't like about this incident, something that they don't like about this incident , whether about this incident, whether it's a joke or. >> yeah, but josh has been doing this for so long, no no no no, i'm so long. >> totally. and but it's like a revenge thing. like proving like and but in that way i like it because you kind of. that's what i'm trying to say is like, look, cancel culture is real. >> it's actually interesting what each side left and right

consider not okay to joke about. yeah, this kind of thing offends offends people on the right. >> i think this could go on for ages. let's move on now to the times, what's this about a mother going to prison for her son? >> what's this about, mother? well, i'll tell you, this is a mother who's been jailed, for not telling the police that her son knew of, terror plot, and this is, a son basically got involved with someone, a friend of his who was looking, basically groomed her son, into, into ideas of. he started off with, filming himself holding a machete and then two bottles of chemicals at that point, you know, it's getting bad. and, he watched the islamic state video tutorial used by the manchester area bomber and bought two, three, three chemicals needed to make a similar bomb, which obviously those are those are warning signs. well, he was planning a child is buying up chemicals and the child's elder friend. >> so the child is 15. yeah. he was hanging out or had an online friendship with a 19 year old

who was planning the attack, who was planning the attack. he knew this 15 year old, knew about it, told his mum and she didn't report that attack to. >> so i mean, i would have thought that under those circumstances, a prosecution is completely valid, you know, because she obviously knew that people could lose their lives. >> it's still it's still really awful for a mother to be in that position of, do you dob in your son? but what the mistake she then made or what she did very wrong at this point was, when he went into try and apparently what he claims it was to stop his friend from carrying out an incident. yes. she advised her son to get rid of messages on his phone. right. and phone numbers, rather than, say, i think it's a no brainer, kerry. >> i mean, i understand the sympathy on the basis of you know, a woman wants to protect her child, but when it comes to people's lives, you don't mess about. >> oh, no, it's a no brainer. it's a horrifying. but this is the judge said, i agree with the decision, i think. >> well, no, but yeah, but the judge said you're a universe. this is to the mother. yeah. you're a university graduate of impeccable character. well, i don't know if that is does show evidence of an impeccable character for lie—ins more that

happens the more that four lions seems to be just a straightforward documentary. i know that's a bit of a hack thing to say, but within that, that's very interesting where the terrorist, he's hanging out with his family and his wife and kids and they're talking. he's just they're very matter of fact about it. now, i'm not saying she wanted her son in any way to be involved in this stuff, necessarily, but there is a there is a, a compliant a complicitness there at some a grey area of complicitness. this isn't just coming from nowhere. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> she was clearly trying to stop him. sorry. i'm okay. >> well, we have to move on now. this is the metro now they've got a story about how marvel is not so marvellous . josh. not so marvellous. josh. >> indeed. marvel rewrites, rewrites israeli character in latest captain america film. after years of controversy. so this is captain america brave new world. there's another one. yeah, there's, they're so boring now. well, they're coming out. this was coming out next. next year they released a trailer for it. and as soon as the trailer hit, i just saw instantly online a lot of people complaining go,

oh my gosh, because now captain america is, black and a lot of people go, oh my god, they're going to ruin this film because they've got a israeli character, sabra, an israeli superhero called sabra. >> but it's an old character. >> but it's an old character. >> an old character? yeah, from created in 1980. yeah. and, and so people are. oh, no, we're going to boycott it. so all these basic racists go, oh, look, there's a jewish woman, an israeli woman there. we've got to boycott this film. representation for me, but not for thee as something i wrote about it. yeah. and, and now it turns out that they've actually made this character. she's not israeli anymore. she's now a russian ex—russian spy or russian ex—russian spy or russian ex—spy. and this is very upsetting because where is jewish representation? it should be pointed out that marvel was essentially created by jews. all of these characters were created by jews. black panther , captain by jews. black panther, captain america, x—men, superman from from dc and whatnot as well. and the fact that marvel have sort

of capitulated to this mob , of capitulated to this mob, yeah, disgusts me. >> the only thing about it is, is that, i mean, i'm just bored of the representation in marvel for two reasons. one, i don't i'm not into the whole representation thing. i don't need people on in a film to represent me in any way , whether represent me in any way, whether that be gay people or whatever. i think it's a waste of time. the only person who can represent an individual is the individual themselves, as far as i'm concerned. and the other thing is, i hate marvel. i hate the films. i find them all boring. i find them boring, i'm not particularly into them. >> and i personally also would like all characters in all programs to represent me and be me. >> you know, you should be cast in that as the next captain america. >> yes, i could see it. i do love that i would get into marvel. >> i do love marvel. i'm a massive comic book geek, the films recently and the tv shows have been pretty much rubbish. and frankly, i do want some representation. i do want a jewish superhero and my daughter to see a jewish superhero who a woman on screen and be proud of her and whatever. and it's just not fair. >> well, yeah, she was dubbed the first israeli super heroine, and now she's dubbed the last israeli superheroine. >> so there can't be any israeli

super heroines or jewish super heroines. >> no, i know representation matters to a lot of people. it just doesn't matter to me. yeah. you know, even when it's about my people. >> andrew, who are your people? >> andrew, who are your people? >> the gays anyway , on to the >> the gays anyway, on to the male. next. >> they're all gay. >> they're all gay. >> everyone . >> everyone. >> everyone. >> heroes are gay. >> heroes are gay. >> everyone love everyone in hollywood is gay . but that's the hollywood is gay. but that's the other point. everyone in hollywood is a gay. gayness is very prevalent in hollywood. and really, when was the last gay superhero name it go, apart from thon superhero name it go, apart from thor, all of them. >> look how they dress. they're all. >> they're all gay. they're all 93v- >> they're all gay. they're all gay. okay, let's move on to the male. a new event at the paris olympics, and it's called cover yourself up. >> yes. and this is, france facing a backlash over banning the hijab for the athletics, and, you know , i this is also, and, you know, i this is also, of course, france banned burqa some years ago. so it's an extension of that. and they do this with and the hijab is banned for all their sporting events . but, which i don't know, events. but, which i don't know, i would have thought with an international event, i mean,

qatar had to bend their laws a little bit to make the world cup possible. no, no, but it's for it's only for french citizens. >> it's not for like other other countries can wear this can they. yeah. >> yeah yeah yeah i didn't read the story properly. no, you didn't know. >> and you've just revealed yourself as if that's the story. but surely, you know, this is the tradition of people, not other, because it makes them streamline france to streamlined in france we've always had this thing that you can't that it has to have a second thing. >> there's no yamakas, there's no other religious streamlined. well, because if you're wearing the burqa, it's there's it's more aerodynamically. >> it is, it is. »- >> it is, it is. >> that's what i'm saying. if you wear it. so it's cheating. >> you're cheating. cheating >> you're cheating. cheating >> that's what slaps it. >> that's what slaps it. >> no, no, not if you get the if it's a streamlining they're worried about. >> they can shave their heads can't they. they could. and then and then worry about the hijab. yes. that would work. i mean, you're not allowed to wear like a crucifix. no, no, i mean, look, this is amnesty international. >> no, you're making it up unless you're doing the what's the event where you're actually use a crucifix? >> the pole vault. pole vault. >> the pole vault. pole vault. >> that would be good. but i don't think you do it with a cross. a cross, don't you? that

would be good. that would be quite good. >> but i'm for everyone having to wear the burqa like all the competitors. >> everyone make it less competitive. less, less, less. like we don't know who won, who was second, who. well i'm not. >> i'm up forjust creating my own religion where i have to wear rollerblades. okay. in a fight. yeah. or whatever. >> we've got to move on now, but it's just one to go, we silly in the end with

welcome back to our final section of headliners. your first look at wednesday's newspapers . let's kick off with newspapers. let's kick off with the metro and proof . now that the metro and proof. now that vending machines really do kill more people than sharks, >> yeah. you can now buy ammunition from vending machines in the us supermarket. it's a true statistic. is it ? yeah. no. true statistic. is it? yeah. no. >> is it really? that's a true statistic. >> yeah. okay >> yeah. okay >> yeah. okay >> yeah. so what's the story? so you can be really informative tonight i feel. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> you're being very generous there. okay. so you can actually go and get like one of those machines. >> i thought you could already,

i thought you could already go into supermarkets in america. and i'll have some carrots, potatoes, milk and bullets please. was quite normal. but not a vending machine. vending machine. yeah they've come up to the modern age with all that's going on. really, i don't think it's a great optic after the trump shooting to make it easier for people to buy buy ammunition, but it looks like what's what's happening, america is very strange. and, you know, you know, with the obama health care, when they finally got it through, they had to add loads of little caveats, including you're allowed to carry guns in parks as part of a health care bill. america has, >> i think i think this is a brilliant idea because here's why. because you know, chris rock's got that joke about how bullets should cost, like £1 million each, $1 million. and then because it would like, that would stop you from killing someone. well, this is another way of stopping people actually killing people because, say you 90, killing people because, say you go, kerry is really annoying me, right? and i go, right, i'm going to go, i'm going to get my gun. i need some bullets. oh, i've got to go to the ammunition. i'm going to go to the vending machine. oh, i don't have the right change. oh my dollar bill's not working. and then it's like, oh you know what? kerry's all right. i'm not going to kill him. >> really. >> really.

>> so i think that's like a strategy there isn't there an issue with him not to kill me? >> isn't there an issue given a few hours and now actually i'm going to get those with the vending machine. isn't the problem that the bullets will fall and then land at the bottom and go off? isn't there an actual technical issue with this? >> i would have thought they'd test for that, surely. i mean, the first time that happened in america, they thought of it. well, maybe not, but i do like though, is that the stories here and whoever's written it by the next page, it's just completely stopped. so presumably he's been shot or he's gone out to buy some bullets. >> don't pull back the curtain. let's move on now to this. josh, the telegraph, a very transphobic decision. what's this indeed? >> trans women can be excluded from female only jobs watchdog rules. so this is the, hrc equality and human rights commission have come out and basically said that because it's some organisations say no names, maybe stonewall have been telling these the companies for years that you can, you know , years that you can, you know, advertise for a woman a female job, but if you're a bloke who has a dress and self ids as a woman, then you have to accept that person essentially, which is exactly what happened at the

edinburgh rape crisis centre, because that's why it's now run by a man who identifies as female. i don't believe they have any kind of certificate or anything. no, they don't . anything. no, they don't. surgery. yeah, yeah. self id so this person here, he's called women bigots. is that right. for, for wanting a female, therapist after being raped? i mean, it's mental. so now this is this has been clarified, which is a good thing. there's still a little bit of a grey area here because it's biological women or people with the certificate . okay. so that's the certificate. okay. so that's not going to make some gender critical people happy, though. >> surely this is a good idea. surely there should be circumstances where biological women only should be able to go for the job. >> well, the cases you're talking about. absolutely. and it's nice that we're seeing the word woman is back in again. yes, it's back in vogue. it went out for quite a while with, with, labia carrying, menstruating fellow type chesterfields, is it the virgin biological woman? >> needless. there's a woman. >> needless. there's a woman. >> that's it. look, let's take one step at a time, okay? yeah, yeah, let's get back to, you

know, biological woman. and soon they will be actually women again. >> let's not get get ahead of ourselves. we're moving on. josh to the telegraph. as you move to thailand . thailand. >> yes. thailand to give 550 million people, £200 each to boost the economy. wow. this was an election pledge. now, this is what a genius prime minister or whoever this was, were bribing the electorate. guys, vote for me and i'll give you £200. yeah, and that's what it is. and so now they've got to give £200. >> and how much would that cost the economy. >> well, it's going to cost, a couple of billion, 4 billion, 9.5 9.5 billion. yes so it's, it's a lot of money. but and, they said that, this is only a band aid. in terms of fixing their economy. the idea is that you put some more money into the economy, give it away, and then people are going to spend it or maybe invest it, start businesses and whatnot. but there's underlying issues . there's underlying issues. >> carry. this is bribery. i mean, isn't this just like the democrats saying they're going to pay off all student loans? vote for us, please. >> well, sure. but at the same time, i think it's a really interesting experiment to see what works. it'd be nice if we

could follow the money, you know, if they could put marks on it. so it's a separate amount of money that we can see. yeah, yeah, it moves through because trickle down doesn't really work. there's loads of ways that the money gets stopped on the way down saved. and so on. trickle up has a much better success. but what you need is spending money. when i remember doing economy economics and i came up with a whole theory on this, but if you have spending money that cannot be banked, then you put it at the lower end, it goes back up through the system and it has to depreciate on a regular basis. >> maybe it'll work. we've just got time for very quickly this last story. carrie, this is about. i can't believe it's not butter. yes. >> which is about to become. i can't believe it's air, butter is being made from co2 , not is being made from co2, not cows. so basically, we're going to see a lot of cow redundancies, and they're basically what's going on is they're making fat air. i don't really understand it. it sounds great. yeah and, you know, we've got to see how it tastes and whether it's a good alternative. and because, you know, so often vegans tell us that something tastes amazing and it's because they've forgotten how taste works. >> yeah. right. >> yeah. right. >> josh a while. >> josh a while. >> so are they not just playing god making concocting butter from thin air? it's like alchemy. >> i thought you'd be happy with

this. yeah, they're building fat molecules, but there's a formula i've never seen here, which is that, they it's co2 equivalent per calorie. yes. so this is a new formula that some people have been, i guess, using for a while. but the idea is that we can judge our food. this is going to cost much less co2 per calorie than an actual. >> that sounds like a load of nonsense to me, but the show is nearly over . nonsense to me, but the show is nearly over. thanks for that, josh. let's take another look at wednesday's front pages . so the wednesday's front pages. so the daily mail is leading with pm only debate will be how not if we build the guardian is running with a turmoil for labour in wales after gething resigns as first minister and the telegraph has got johnson asks trump to stand by ukraine. we've got the times on wednesday with locals will lose right to block new homes. the i news has reeves pushing for brexit reset to help boost uk economy . and finally, boost uk economy. and finally, the daily star has a get us klopp, which is some football story. that's all we've got time for. thanks ever so much to my guests kerry marx and josh howie

simon evans will be here tomorrow at 11:00 with steve n allen and nick dixon. and if you're watching the 5 am, repeat, then please stay tuned, because now it's time for breakfast. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello. good evening. welcome to your latest gb news. weather update wednesday is going to be a much sunnier day and a drier day for most of us. it's also going to be feeling considerably warmer for this evening, though we've still got low pressure in charge across eastern areas, so still some heavy rain to come through some parts of this evening. but behind it, a ridge of high pressure will bring clearer skies for western areas and then more widely through the night across to the east. once those showers clear away into the north sea. so a dry night to come for most of us, we could see the odd shower moving in across northern areas of scotland, but clear skies mean the temperatures will fall away a little lower than they have done last night. so temperatures

around 12 or 13 degrees at first thing. but it's going to be a very bright start to the day. i think we'll be making the most of the july sunshine. the best of the july sunshine. the best of the july sunshine. the best of the sunshine through the day will likely be across the south coast of england, parts of south wales, as well. 15 or 16 degrees. first thing, fairly light winds as well. a bit more cloud across northern areas of northern ireland. parts of western scotland as well. we could see the odd shower moving in across the highlands and the northern islands as well, but for most of us it's going to be a dry and bright start to the day on wednesday, which will really make a difference, i'm sure, and it should stay dry through much of the day. there is a risk of the odd shower developing across parts of england and wales, possibly up towards scotland, as well. we'll also see thicker cloud moving in as this weather front approaches. it's not going to make too much progress though, so it will just bring cloudier skies to parts of northern ireland and parts of north—west scotland, but elsewhere, with more in the way of sunshine temperatures climbing in towards the mid 20s and for many of us into the low 20s now thursday

looks like another mainly dry and fine day. temperatures will climb higher as well on thursday, but all the while across the north and west it will remain that much cloudier, with a risk of some showery rain for parts of northern ireland and western scotland. so the further south and east you are, the more longer lived sunshine and heat you will see. temperatures will climb towards 30 degrees for friday. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news

>> good evening . yes. i'm back. >> good evening. yes. i'm back. back again with a distinguished panel we'll talk about. is a donald trump victory. now inevitable? and what do we make of his vice presidential pick, jd vance? let's talk defence. after all, nobody else did

dunng after all, nobody else did during the general election campaign at all. labour about to launch a defence review . are launch a defence review. are they right? is nato our future or somehow, are we going to get closer to a european defence union? the king's speech comes tomorrow, but i wonder before we hear that, just how healthy is our democracy , given some of the our democracy, given some of the turnout figures in this general election? but before all of that, let's get the news with polly middlehurst. >> nigel, thanks very much indeed. and good evening to you. jay slater's mother says the confirmation of her son's death in tenerife is the worst news she could have received. in a statement, debbie duncan said she can't believe what's happened to her beautiful boy, adding our hearts are broken. the 19 year old, from lancashire , the 19 year old, from lancashire, disappeared off the island a month ago after attending a music festival. a spanish court says his body was identified by his fingerprints during a post—mortem examination, and the injuries to his body are

consistent with a fall which then led to his death . vaughan then led to his death. vaughan gething told the welsh parliament today that serving as first minister has been the honour of his life, as he announced he's stepping down after just four months in the job. earlier, four members of his cabinet quit, saying they didn't think he could deliver a stable government. he's been under increasing pressure since losing a no confidence vote last month over concerns about a donation to his leadership campaign, but he insists he's done nothing wrong. >> i have worked hard , followed >> i have worked hard, followed the rules and done really difficult and demanding jobs for my country . in difficult and demanding jobs for my country. in 11 years as a minister, i have never, ever made a decision for personal gain. i have never , ever misused gain. i have never, ever misused or abused my ministerial position , my integrity matters. position, my integrity matters. ihave position, my integrity matters. i have not compromised it. >> and that wasn't
