5:02 am
saturday, as well. >> that's a hurty. >> that's a hurty. >> yeah it is. yeah, yeah, i've got a turn down a whole load of work just to do this. >> did you, did you.7 >> did you, did you? >> no i didn't, not tonight. >> no i didn't, not tonight. >> avonworth. yeah. got to dish out the brochures tonight. what are you going to do? >> well, i make up. that's fine. >> well, i make up. that's fine. >> well, i make up. that's fine. >> well, we do now, don't we? that's what we turn up and wear makeup because we are metrosexual or something, right? let's start with a look at sunday's front pages. the mail on sunday goes with panic alarms given to all new mps over safety fears. the sunday times has universities facing a cash catastrophe . sunday telegraph pm catastrophe. sunday telegraph pm to hand teachers and nurses bumper pay rise. the observer says labour makes working class children key to school reforms sunday express the great brexit betrayal and the sunday the daily star sunday red dwarf legend save our angel delight and those of your front pages. we'll get to the important angel delight ones soon, but paul,
5:03 am
mail on sunday. where are they going on about panic alarms given to all new mps over safety fears, >> after an unprecedented rise in the number of threats and a gun attack on trump, it triggers a dramatic increase in westminster security measures. now, they've all been given these devices supplied as part of their commons welcome pack. as a and this is a first in doing so it does the i'm slightly cynical about these things because it always feels like slightly more of an insurance policy , than insurance policy, than a deterrent because, it should something happen, god forbid. and you know, the chances are getting higher and higher, it's almost like the powers that be can say, look, we, you know, we gave them alarms, but they cite trump in this. had trump had a panic alarm, i would have hoped it wouldn't have helped at all, would it? >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> no help whatsoever. so actual policing might have helped in the trump incident and i dare say, policing will need to be beefed up around mps because it is so divisive and so emotional.
5:04 am
now that people and, and, you know, perhaps, perhaps we play our part in that. i don't know, we try to be as humorous as possible. yeah i mean some of the stuff you stay off air, steve, it really does rile me up ways off air. but yeah, i mean, i think there's a serious obviously there's a serious point behind this. and, has has it got any worse is in the past. it feels like it doesn't it? social media definitely seems to spark things, mps are much more available. you can tell where they are at any given point in time. most of the time now, because of their social media accounts. so yeah, i mean, this is a worrying sign of things to come, perhaps. >> i mean, adam, these are they've been available before, but apparently the mps had to request them. they've got gps trackers in. you press a button, the police turn up. maybe the police then run away like they did in leeds. it's difficult to know, isn't it? so does any of this does it worry you or this move make you feel safer? yeah. >> i mean, i think i think it's very advanced technology. i mean, it seems like, you know, it's just basically they've been given a smartphone which has a gps tracker and the ability to play gps tracker and the ability to play loud noises, either always loud noises always made me feel safe when i'm in imminent dangen >> you know, i think it's too little, too late for me. i
5:05 am
think, personally, i think we need we do need. i'd rather sort of have police, sort of enforced and sort of be, i guess supported by the community. but i also just think that it's is it is it is it really going to do much? i don't i don't think it is. >> we don't want to change too much though, because one of the things about politics over here is you can actually go and speak to your representative, whereas in america they've got, you know, 15 people with big guns. and i mean, you can have your argument about whether they're trained or not these days, but we've always it's been better over here, hasn't it? they can actually speak to your representative . representative. >> yes. >> yes. >> and it is rare that there's a major incident. i mean, we can we can all name 2 or 3 straight away. jo cox. comes to mind immediately, of course, but even even at the lower level stuff where farage is getting milkshaked , you know, anything milkshaked, you know, anything could be in that. the fact they've got access to he had some burly chap stood around him, and he was still able to be covered in the gunge. so, you know, my point is the alarm got to be used like before the milkshake hits him. >> or how is that? how does that work? just just put it quick, isn't he? yeah. very quick. >> it's almost like an umbrella
5:06 am
would be more useful than one of those pop up ones. >> a gps umbrella. >> a gps umbrella. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> here we go. we'll trademark that. >> here we go. we'll trademark that . adam, what's the front that. adam, what's the front cover of the sunday express? what do they got ? what do they got? >> so the sunday express, a new law will spell the return of hated eu diktats. so the great british betrayal. now, this is a story where labour has been accused last night of a great brexit betrayal that will put britain back in the grip, allegedly of brussels, so basically a new law is being drawn up by ministers, which could put the uk manufacturers in lockstep with the eu on product safety rules. and so obviously some mps are angry about this. i think this is interesting because there's a part of, there's a part of me that, you know, since brexit happened saying, you know, it's great that we should be able to make our own rules, but not everything that happens in eu and every rule that they do, especially if it's regards to safety, is necessarily bad. i think there is something probably a bit of nuance and there's some, some things that maybe, you know, i do agree if we just follow everything the eu does, it probably might hinder some of our trade agreements and things like that. but i'm not too sure. i think that this is obviously you've just got some people saying we don't need to follow europe, we don't need to
5:07 am
follow europe, we don't need to follow europe, we don't need to follow europe in every single way. and there is something to be said about like, yeah, you don't need to cosy up to up to them just in order to sort of like, yeah, get close to europe . like, yeah, get close to europe. it's no need. yeah. >> paul, do you want lower safety rules than the eu? >> oh loaded question steve. beautifully done. i mean, we were having this discussion off off air and i mean, you were quite adamant that you hate laboun quite adamant that you hate labour, but no, you didn't say that italian. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> no, i brought that up. it is going to become a discussion about more, you know, whether it's realignment or reintegration. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and some of this is realignment. the fear, of course, is that everybody that's in power now is very anti—brexit. so i genuinely feel that brexit is never really had a chance. it's never really been it's never really been rolled out by people who believe in it, it's not like they said, nigel farage, you roll out brexit and we'll see how it goes. we've had this sort of mishmash and of course it's extremely difficult. >> but one of boris's letters was very pro—brexit. >> yeah, one of his letters was very pro—brexit. yes. you're
5:08 am
absolutely right, steve. that completely undermines my whole argument. >> but, but his other his other letter very much backs up your argument. well, exactly. >> yeah. he well, this is my point exactly. really. he, he he decided to wait to see who cameron was going to go with. was it brexit or anti—brexit. and he just went the opposite way. so even the bloke that one didn't believe in it and well adam makes a really good point about policies. we're already well aligned, but i think we could stand on our own two feet, you know, just because we just because the policies are there within the eu, it doesn't mean that we wouldn't do it our own way and be equally as fair. but the echr that if we left the echr most people believe we'd instantly become nazis. that wouldn't happen at all. you know, we would just defer back to, you know. >> yeah. push back a little, though. you could say one way to keep trading with the eu bloc without having to do any kind of rejoining would be to make sure that the standards are in place. so you can easily trade. so having this rule means that you definitely don't have to join them. yes >> i think, i think ultimately the trade issue will be overcome
5:09 am
by this and that will, you know, make life a lot easier. it's just it's just a still feel slightly sorry for that 52% that voted for brexit who've probably never got anything near what they expected. >> all right. let's move on to the cover of the sunday times, please. wall. >> yes . >> yes. >> yes. >> ditch the cap. two child rule is social cleansing, says labour mp. so the labour mp rosie duffield has called on her to party scrap the two child benefit, which she says amounts to social cleansing. it's very strong language. they always there seems to be the way of politics now. i mean, they did ask kirsten what he thought and he said, who's rosie duffield? duffield? i've never heard of him , but i mean, she makes him, but i mean, she makes a point. i just think, look, some people will argue that this puts a cap on how many children you can have. it doesn't put a cap on how many children you can have.it on how many children you can have. it puts a cap on how many children can be supported, by by the government. and you know, taxpayers. and that's a different argument . and, you different argument. and, you know, i don't think it's one
5:10 am
that you solve quickly. you've got to find the money. what do you do? where do you cap it next. three, four, seven i don't know, i mean, i understand why it was put in place in the first place. i mean, adam, what do you think, mate? i mean, how many kids do you want, sir? >> i mean, i in the future, i'd like to have many, i guess, but it's one of those things where, like, i'm looking at this and i think it's important to probably mention that even though this is a labour mp saying this inflammatory sort of words, labour's current stance is they're going to keep it in place. and that's important to note. so they know recognise there's not enough money in the budget as of yet to keep it. and they don't want to sort of they said they weren't going to do it when they when they came to power. so i don't think this is an issue really for the next at least couple of years. however, saying that i do think in an ideal world, if everything was rosy and we had so much money, it would be lovely to support larger families and, you know, sort of develop a community and sort of develop a community and sort of develop a community and sort of encourage family values and things like that. but i don't think there is the finances to do it. and of course, there are people who are sort of like, maybe they're not seen as, relatively poor, but maybe they're just about getting the line and they've probably decided not to have children, and they've said, well, if i've decided not to have children
5:11 am
because we couldn't have as many as we'd like, why should i be paying as we'd like, why should i be paying for other people who potentially can't afford it? so it's a very delicate issue, isn't it? yeah. >> every other night, though, we sat here talking about pronatalism. there's not enough people. birth rate. exactly. yeah >> soi yeah >> so i think it's a very difficult one to solve. and i think i think i do agree that it would be good to have a lot of support in place for those who wanted larger families, particularly because of the birth rate issue. >> the good thing is elon musk is single handedly solving this problem by having as many kids as he can. so i think that's him. >> and josh howie. >> and josh howie. >> yes. >> yes. >> finally, adam, the daily star sunday, what are they? we know what they've got on the front page.the what they've got on the front page. the big news, the big news. >> very interesting. and one very close to my heart because i used to use a lot of angel delight. so yeah. breaking news, breaking red dwarf legend save our angel delight star craig craig blasts middle class foods like avocado and urges us to eat 70s classics. so i think this chimes with the two different things quickly to say, first of all, it's just a nonsense piece. >> but i'll tell you , i do think >> but i'll tell you, i do think that it's i like the fact that this is blasting middle class because it's almost suggesting, and i do understand i'm not a
5:12 am
biggest fan, you know, the bigger fan of people who just have smashed avo on toast and, you know, spend a lot amount of money. >> but i also don't i agree with like eating a lot of processed foods. i've, you know, recently been reading, chris sullivan's latest book about ultra—processed people. and then there's this guy on youtube called eddy abu, who's talking all about, like, processed foods and how it's bad. it's for your body. and i think it's important to note that it doesn't. i don't like the fact that this story has been classed as a as a class thing. like, i think people who are working class can still eat healthy foods if they have the time and ability to cook. so i don't know, angel delight, is it okay? taste tastes like it's got rubbish. >> it's got strawberry in it . >> it's got strawberry in it. the strawberry one. >> i don't think it does. i think it maybe was related as a, you know, it's got milk in it. that's a food powdered milk. yeah. >> this was one of the greatest foods that propped up this great country, adam. >> and for me to talk down angel delight is worse than talking down the royal family. >> and i'd like to apologise on behalf of adam, actually, because the idea i mean, have
5:13 am
you ever tried butterscotch? you have, haven't you? >> i have, yeah, i actually butterscotch angel delight, and it was obviously that was for maybe christmas or special occasion, but would you ever do the thing with angel delight where you mix two because you're making enough for everyone, and you do like layers of it, and we couldn't afford two sachets. >> steve. >> steve. >> it's £1.70. there were £0.02 each. >> those sachets. hi, mate. >> those sachets. hi, mate. >> this is deceptively high in calories is why am i say this is 97 on the packet. and then you read on the small print. he goes per serving and each small packet is for serving. so it's actually not very good. >> well let me tell you, adam, i've been in all my life and it hasn't done me any harm whatsoever. >> well, that's your front pages, all filleted in the next section . leeds still isn't section. leeds still isn't helping our carbon output .beau biden is running, slowly. and starmer and the nukes get
5:14 am
5:15 am
5:16 am
5:17 am
next. welcome back to headliners. i'm still stephen. alan. still here with still paul cox. and still adam cooper's. paul. the mail on sunday after the riots in the north. police say they don't have any leads because it's all burnt down. >> lovely work, steve. that should be in the clip real later. fiercely proud roma crowd takes a lead. streets again after night of terrifying riots to chart . please after night of terrifying riots to chart. please bring the kids back over, over to take children from family that sparked violence. just read a little bit more of this. there's quite a bit to this story that i wasn't entirely aware of, because we've just seen the images of the riots, the removal of the
5:18 am
children that sparked the concerns about the underlying prejudice about roman committees communities, which makes up 5000 of that leeds community that are a roma, which is which is quite interesting because they're part of the travel community. so they've they've obviously settled there and, distressing, distressing footage emerged on friday, which shows police officers hauling a young boy out officers hauling a young boy out of a house and bundling him into a van. however, the social services were alerted to the property after a nine month old baby was allegedly dropped on its head accidentally by another child. so there is quite the domestic thing going on here, and i'm not sure you can conflate the two. what i think what happened was, you know, if someone took your children away, you'd be up in arms and i'm not sure. and i think you may have said this last night, actually, because it feels like a sort of thing you'd say. i'm not sure that if that happened to our family, the community around us would support us quite in the same way. obviously, this doesn't justify the outcome of what happened, but it does highlight once again that there are sort of significant cultural issues within these
5:19 am
multicultural and diverse communities that the police are finding very difficult to manage, because if we don't know anything about, you know, if a kid drops another kid accidentally, that's one story. we don't know if there is a whole legacy of issues here, but let's just say for argument's sake, there is and there is concerns you'd want the police to go in and you'd want them to manage the situation, maybe check things out, take the children to safety. but i don't know how you manage this. i have absolutely no idea what the police do from here on in, because you can't. the thing about policing is you've got to uniformly treat everybody the same. so you can't go into each different community and say, we're going to treat them differently than we would those. so i mean, i really don't know. yeah. >> so the unsolvable problem there, we now turn to you, adam, and go, how do you solve that? >> then solve that now, take away the kids. no i think it's one of those things where it's like, yeah, i suppose it is. it is a nuance, isn't it? and i think it's important to understand you'd hope if the police had to intervene in the way they did, that they wouldn't have done it on a whim. it would
5:20 am
have done it on a whim. it would have been hopefully mounting evidence. i know paul mentioned about the unfortunate incident with the baby being dropped on its head by another child, and you'd think it might have to be they they probably were neglected to such an extent, and there was such a safeguarding issue that the police had to finally step in. unfortunately, the framing of this and the video of shoving a kid being thrown into a van, that's all very unsavoury and the optics of it to people , passers by going, it to people, passers by going, what's going on? it just looks like, you know, but, governmental kidnapping in a sense. so it's like , okay, how sense. so it's like, okay, how do we sort that issue? and i think you're right, paul. we can't treat different communities differently. it has to be a standard level. but is there better tax? is could we have done this with more tact? how could we have done that better? >> i mean, do you have tact when it comes to child safety? >> even if you do, if you drop the ball, even if the errors have been made and a riot starts, you want a police force that can stop a riot 100. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> above all else. yeah yeah, above all else. >> let's get that in place. >> let's get that in place. >> yeah, exactly. and it's been a major failing, but i don't i
5:21 am
wouldn't want to do it. >> fair enough. i wouldn't want you to do it either. to be fair, i don't think you'd stop the riot. stop. how many more buses do you think would have gone, adam, the observer and biden remains deaf to calls to step down. so that's another age related condition to add to the list. >> yes. so this is a story from the observer. yeah biden continues to resist democratic calls to end re—election campaign. so latest high profile name to call on president to step aside is sherrod brown. the embattled senator from ohio. i think this is really interesting . think this is really interesting. it's i think in the last week, we've seen a lot of craziness happening in the states. and i think biden was probably a little bit relieved before for a temporary moment, people were sort of forgetting, should we replace him, you know, people in his own party. and now it's come back to the surface. trump's back to the surface. trump's back up being stronger than ever seen seeming like. and now the lights back on him to say, should you leave? i still can't believe that biden's actually loose enough to remember that he is still president. i feel like surely they could just say to him one day, by the way, you've given it up and he's like, oh, that makes sense. i'm hoping something like that would happen.
5:22 am
you know, his gaffe. there's a small part of me , there's a small part of me, there's a small part of me, there's a small devil on my shoulder. i just want him to remain in power as long as he can because his gaffes are hilarious. he called himself like he called himself a black woman recently completely confused. zelenskyy with putin, he had the terrible debate, which was awful , he had the terrible debate, which was awful, and he described america as a country that can be summarised in one word. and then he just went off andifs word. and then he just went off and it's like, this is hilarious. >> which is a great word to be saying. >> yeah. summed it up. it's no coffee. >> it's, yeah, the democrats here, steve and adam are reaping everything that they have sown. >> they put this man in power. yeah okay. and then anybody and then push back on anybody who questioned why he couldn't speak or walk. and now he's holding on to power like a tramp who's found a twix. you know, he just i that analogy worked in my head as it came out, but i'm not sure it did. but he's literally now not giving up and he is still the president, so it's really with him. yeah. so they are reaping as far as i'm concerned,
5:23 am
everything that they have sown over the last four years, they put him in there to get trump out. he did that and they forgot to mention to us that he was actually suffering from dementia. and then if we pointed it out, they went, no, no, no, no, no, that's out of order. and now they're reaping what they, they say, am i right in thinking? >> i think i read somewhere that it was almost too late as well. so like even if they did try and remove him, they can actually take him off the paper ballot. is that correct? >> no, i think he's not. officially, they have the chance of having an open convention. yes. which then means that the various delegates could could say like, oh yeah, i'm going for this. and then they at that convention could pick a new candidate, but that could mean they jump over the vice president, which is going to kick off as well, because we read there was a story on here about how that would then apparently be racist if they don't go ahead. >> oh, definitely. everything's racist, steve. and that would definitely be racist. >> well, we'll find out about a week when he's gone. paul, the sunday telegraph more top labour mps apparently voted against trident, but back in the day when they were supporting corbyn. so they've been on a journey. >> they i hope they've been on a
5:24 am
journey. 1 in 4 of starmer's cabinet are opposed to trident renewal, so six members of the prime minister's top team voted against maintaining the nuclear deterrent in 2016. as you rightly say, when they were working for , corbyn. and these working for, corbyn. and these included angela rayner, who is now the deputy of the sir keir starmer, and david lammy, who was the foreign secretary, as well as lisa. hey, lisa nandy, louise hay , sorry lisa nandy, jo louise hay, sorry lisa nandy, jo stevens and ian murray, for me it just highlights the naivety , it just highlights the naivety, particularly of this sort of ideological labour socialist opposition politics where it's very easy to see the world through rose tinted glasses , but through rose tinted glasses, but now they're in power. i would love to think , hope, to think love to think, hope, to think for all of our concerns that they can see it for what it is. you need that deterrent there. the world is on fire. you know, we it doesn't matter what continent you look at. there's a bit of a war going on. so the
5:25 am
idea that we would. antarctica. yeah. well, there's aliens there , steve. >> of course. >> of course. >> so have you not heard of the auen >> so have you not heard of the alien war in antarctica? come on, mate, but the so, you know , on, mate, but the so, you know, we need to have this deterrent. i think it's an interesting story from the telegraph, and it's something that they're going to have to explain because they're going to have to use them because we've got the, defence review at the moment. yeah. which is not necessarily, you know, lisa nandy doing any sort of review or even lammy, but they will review and they will talk about spending, but they'll have to have a trident maintenance. >> do they have to actually get any details on this? because the letter that the pm writes, no one ever gets to see. so we'll never know what his planned actions are. and both angela raynen actions are. and both angela rayner, i think david lammy have said they are fully behind it now. so is there any any question to answer ? question to answer? >> i'm not sure. i mean, for me, when i read this my opinions have changed as well. so when i was younger i was a teenager, i was younger i was a teenager, i was very much against the idea of having nuclear deterrence. you know, i was i was very sort of like blue eyed and wide eyed like, no, we don't need it, you know, the planet's a lovely
5:26 am
place, and it's now, you know, a ripe old age of 32. i'm there. i'm just thinking it's nice to have it, you know? it's very nice to have it. i get very, very nice. and it's one of those things, especially when you hear these stories about, like the we've got dwindling, you know, army numbers and we're struggling to get people to recruit. and there's not many people who even want to go to would fight for this country. it's nice to have it. i think if it's nice to have it. i think if i was trying to be like extra smart about this, i'd probably like maybe defund it and not tell anyone and then just still have everything there and then just be like, we don't actually have it because one person's fi harrison and they're going to find the whole world's dead anyway, but just don't tell them we've defunded it. and but now i've said it, so now we can't. >> yeah, that might actually be happening. why else? adam the observer there's a bill to get rid of hereditary peers. good luck trying to get that through the house of lords. >> that's a good point. >> that's a good point. >> yeah. so this is from the observer, the last of the hereditary peers in house of lords . so the government has lords. so the government has plans to end their outdated and indefensible law making positions on the upper house. and this is talking about for centuries in britain, the country's noblemen have sat in parliament by virtue of their bloodline, but not for much longer. so, yeah, this is a very interesting story. i think it's like it's a very fancy form of
5:27 am
nepotism, isn't it? it's like sort of like it's been passed down through the ages. i love the idea of like coming through a bloodline. it's very like muggles not allowed harry potter in a way . and i don't know, i, in a way. and i don't know, i, i was reading through the story andifs was reading through the story and it's an interesting stuff, i do think, i don't think it's fair to say that people are being passed down. they they bnng being passed down. they they bring no benefits. i think there are probably some con, some some pros of this. even mainly being experienced and people being passed down. and i guess people who have sort of the country's values at heart. i do think the idea of, you know, is it is it is it democratic and is it modern? i don't think it should be a birthright, but i don't know if it was only a small percentage of the lords. personally, i'm not too bothered . so. >> no, i mean, i'm a traditionalist at heart, but eveni traditionalist at heart, but even i find this very difficult to defend. i mean, it's no coincidence it's happening now. there's only two of those very old chaps that are that are actually on the labour side of the argument. most of them are conservative because this is the observer. i still manage to find something that ruffled my feathers slightly, because it says that they're all men, which ,
5:28 am
says that they're all men, which, okay, they are, because it can only be it's hereditary down the male line only. and that's a good point. that's a fair point. you know, perhaps it shouldn't be, but all white and over 70, which for me was a sentence that didn't need to be there whatsoever. so what do you not like? >> the fact that they listed them all and all of their names are like farquharson, smiley, smiley, chumley . it's the smiley, chumley. it's the poshest names i've ever read. even >> have you been there for that? >> have you been there for that? >> surely, he said farquharson . >> surely, he said farquharson. i thought, oh my god, it's over. >> paul the mail on sunday. >> paul the mail on sunday. >> and these people smugglers are clever . we threaten to stop are clever. we threaten to stop the small boats. they get bigger boats. >> yeah, they're not messing around, are they? now migrants are starting to arrive by yacht. so border force seized vessel as cross channel are people traffickers up their game from usual overcrowded dinghies. so british border force vessels intercepted hundreds of migrants this morning and this morning being saturday, including a large number of suspected sorry, a large stolen yacht. and, you know, i guess this yacht is
5:29 am
newsworthy . however, for me, newsworthy. however, for me, this isn't the story, okay? they're coming by another method. the story here is that at least 200 more people are thought to have brought into the port so far today, and it comes as 413 made the treacherous journey in seven boats on friday, following a deadly week in which six people died in three separate incidents. that's the story . it doesn't really the story. it doesn't really matter how they get here. it's dangerous. it's deadly . we can't dangerous. it's deadly. we can't support them. you know, we don't have the infrastructure to keep supporting that many people illegally arriving into the country. all, all we can hope for, i say i can hope for. i think all we can hope for is that labour deliver on their manifesto promises. because whilst rwanda, i think most of us agree, was probably a bit of a red herring , unlikely to do a red herring, unlikely to do anything, at least it had some form of deterrent . it may well form of deterrent. it may well have deterred some people , as have deterred some people, as far as i can see, keir starmer and his labour are just saying we're just going to tackle the gangs like the gangs aren't already 35 steps ahead of sir keir starmer. already 35 steps ahead of sir keir starmer . they've got a keir starmer. they've got a yacht, they've got a yacht.
5:30 am
>> so fight someone who's got yacht. >> they're gonna have to do something soon because there's hundreds and hundreds coming per day. yeah. >> any quick thoughts on that, adam? yeah, absolutely. >> i think it's i didn't expect to see the human traffickers sort of enforce rishi sunak's pledge to stop the small boats and bringing them on big boats. i kind of want to see, you know, the, you know, economic migrants brought in on like , increasingly brought in on like, increasingly elaborate forms of transport, like lamborghinis , helicopters like lamborghinis, helicopters and rockets and jumbo jets. i don't know, let's see. >> let's fight in a cannon. >> let's fight in a cannon. >> yeah, they're doing something right. >> yeah, that's part two. >> yeah, that's part two. >> used and abused in the next section. plants are racist. so are people at apparently and probably anyone else written aboutin and probably anyone else written about in the observer.
5:31 am
5:32 am
5:33 am
5:34 am
next. welcome back to headliners. adam. the observer would arose be a sweet by any other name. not if it was a racist one. >> yeah. so this is from the observer . botanists votes remove observer. botanists votes remove racist reference from plants scientific names. so yeah, this is an offensive term to be replaced as first step towards more changes in unprecedented reform of nomenclature rules. so yeah this is interesting. so yeah, science is a vote to eliminate certain names of certain plants, deeming them racially offensive. so one of the examples is the word caffra, which originates in insults made against black people, which will be replaced with the word afra. so not much of a change, today, the african origins and i think this is interesting because i think there's part of me, when you first read it, you go, oh, this is all silly. and then there's part of me thinking,
5:35 am
well, plants probably get renamed all the time, you know, countries getting constantly renamed. is this much of an issue? do i even care about these plants? then i was looking at like, funny names of plants. and there's one called like a sticky willy. i was like, that should probably be changed, you know? and i don't know, this is interesting, isn't it? because there was this reminds me of the story from years ago when pete, peter, peter put out a story saying we should change phrases for things. and they were saying instead of saying phrases like kill two birds with one stone, they were saying, why don't you use feed two birds with one stone? and it's like a bit sort of like, is this a big news story? is it not? there is legitimate reasons why this could be quite bad if you change the names, because it could be quite confusing within the scientific community, especially if people are familiar with certain names, but i don't know. i think i'd be annoyed if it was plants. i actually knew , really. but. >> yeah. and has anyone ever said, i'll tell you what's holding that demographic back ? holding that demographic back? that flipping herbaceous border or that another name like that they'll never get on? you know what i mean? is this this is any impact. >> they have grandiose it somewhat though . this is an somewhat though. this is an
5:36 am
absolutely mental first step in addressing an issue that has become a real problem in botany and has also in other biological sciences. it's a very important start, you've got nothing else going on in your world if this is the most important thing you've achieved. i mean, fair play. but caffra to afra , it's play. but caffra to afra, it's just a bit. >> i mean, a lot of tipp—ex has to be got through now, all that painting that just rubbish, innit? >> i don't care if they change them. i mean, if they are genuinely insulting . now change genuinely insulting. now change it. yeah, yeah . >> all >> all right >> all right paul, >> all right paul, the >> all right paul, the sunday telegraph tfl to get diversity training to make it colour—blind which will make that map a bit harder to read. yes. >> give me tricky isn't it, sadiq khan to spend more than 2.5 million on tefl diversity training. so this is a four year scheme which aims to embed an inclusive culture and reduce microaggressions. inclusive culture and reduce microaggressions . we'll get to microaggressions. we'll get to that in a minute, but the advert on the cabinet office website reads tfl is seeking to establish a framework to deliver equality, diversity and inclusion . their all their
5:37 am
inclusion. their all their training to staff and other organisations to help tfl address inequalities. now this, this would lead you to believe that in some way tfl is just full of casual racists. i mean, just look at your, you know , just look at your, you know, believe what you see with your eyes. tfl is probably one of the most multicultural, diverse , most multicultural, diverse, employers in all of london. it represents london really well, particularly at the worker level where it doesn't represent london particularly well as executive level and board level. so i would say instead of rolling out a £25 million scheme that aims to aims at 20,000 people, just look at the 50 people that sit at the top and see if you can make changes there. perhaps if they care so much, why don't those that are really worried step aside and allow someone else to come in and solve the problem once and for all? it's going i mean, this is in the daily. this is in the sunday telegraph. i'm a big fan of the telegraph, actually, so it's not like it's not like it's deliberately seeking to just point out this is ridiculous in some way. but do you know what?
5:38 am
i'm not sure. i mean, it talks about reducing microaggressions, reducing microaggressions to what they've already been reduced, i imagine, down from aggression through micro. >> go to nana asian descent micro next i believe femto. if you're down at a femto aggression , that's going to be aggression, that's going to be hard to spot. >> i don't understand what that word means. stephen on that. i find that very micro—aggressive. >> yes. yeah, it's all to my intelligence, or lack of thereof. >> yeah. i think it's going to be interesting, isn't it? i'm looking forward to this £2.5 million on diversity training. i'm looking for it to i'm looking forward to seeing it like improve the service of the trains. i can't wait to have that real impact in my daily life. i think what's really interesting about this story is they have said that they had unconscious bias training, but it was actually scrapped at central government level because they found that it did not change the behaviour or improve workplace equality. and that's really telling, isn't it? i think if it's been done at central government and they've scrapped it, said, well, people are still being micro—aggressive, they're still tutting when they shouldn't be and everything else like , i and everything else like, i don't know, it's one of those stories where i think a lot of
5:39 am
people on the surface will go, if you say to somebody, would you, you know, wouldn't it be nice if everything was very inclusive? people go, yes, but you just go, where's the where's the money going? is it just one of those things? is it going to be is it just getting, you know, throwing money down the drain? >> that's why it becomes a story in the telegraph, essentially. i mean, this stuff is rolled out across all organisations. tfl doesn't stand alone here, but it's not just where the money is going, it's where it's coming from. >> if you're a private organisation and you want 2.5 million and whatever your training course, yeah, why not have a corporate weekend where you hire a comedian? that's all i'm saying. adam, the independent, a massive fallout after that guy in tenacious d made that trump joke. so i will stop reading that intro bit there. >> yeah, i like he said that guy because i didn't know we knew about the other guy. the other guy, this jack black and the other guy. so tenacious, tenacious d kyle gass, deletes instagram apology following jack black's rift over the trump assassination comment. now, i didn't. i'm not a really big fan of raneem oudeh, except the tribute, which is the one song that everybody loves, you know? and i was singing that i've got that song. >> cuddle her gently. i don't know if you've heard that look
5:40 am
that up. >> and so it was, >> and so it was, >> anyway, i think i actually watched the video. i saw it for me. it was a bit distasteful. and i think the important thing to note is if you whether whether you agree with it or not, it is in a weird way you should like if you shouldn't support him being cancelled the same way, we wouldn't want people on the right being cancelled as well. so i think it's important to defend his right to say something, even if it was distasteful. so i think that's the first thing. i think the reason why it probably chimed a lot of people is despite, you know, trump sort of getting getting lucky and stuff, a civilian did actually die. and two people were critically wounded. so i think it's very distasteful and this kyle gass or the other guy, as he's more commonly known, should have realised that and known that this is bad taste but doesn't deserve to lose his job or everything that he did. >> i totally agree with that. the only problem i have with this is the way jack black's treated his best mate. these guys have been mates forever and the minute it looks and this from the surface, obviously i don't know. i haven't got intel, but from the surface it looks like the minute that it's looking like it might affect
5:41 am
jack black's career, he's chucked his mate under the bus. i've got a much bigger problem with that than anything that kyle gass has said, and of course, we're all comedians and, you know, things can be said in bad taste, but it's a comedy show. tenacious d is a comedy band. they make up songs for comedy value, and he would have thought that that's what he was doing. he was acting on the spur of the moment. we've all done it now. we haven't all said the same things that he said, but i'm not sure that anyone should ever be cancelled for that. but ihave ever be cancelled for that. but i have a problem with jack black chucking his mate under the bus. >> yeah, yeah. all right. paul, the observer banning cruel punishments in school. but it never did me any harm . never did me any harm. >> english schools to phase out cruel behaviour rules as labour plans major education changes. so isolation booths, frequent suspensions and strict behaviour regimes look set to be phased out in england as the labour government shifts focus on how to keep the most vulnerable pupils in school and this, of course, is on the back of the fact that, particularly since covid and that's played a big
5:42 am
part in this, it doesn't really get too much of a mention, but it's played a big part in the cultural change. kids you know, the way the way kids of certain ages are now at school because they were home schooled for a long time. however, again, much like some of the other things we've spoken about tonight, i believe this is a problem that's going to be very, very, very difficult to solve. there is evidence to the contrary here that you could go completely the other way with the michaela school, which is extremely strict, and it has schools as a school full of pupils from every background you can imagine. and i treat them all uniformly and they are very strict and most importantly conservative about it. and in doing so, they've reached for a non—fee paying school, the highest gcse results in england. so there is an argument that actually maybe schools need to be stricter. this feels very labour to me. i'm not sure we solve it though. >> it's not necessarily about strictness, it's about expulsion, isn't it? and if you do expel kids from a school, that school benefits. but where do they all go? and i say this as someone who's biased because the school i went to received all of the people who were expelled from the nearby schools, i remember that school
5:43 am
was a rubbish one. yeah, it's honestly it's still the bottom of. >> did you grow up in the same area? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i should take the mic. >> i should take the mic. >> all right. >> all right. >> we were totally bought into that bottom of the school table all the time. >> oh, happy days. >> oh, happy days. >> yes. >> yes. >> i think this is interesting, isn't it? i think i, you know, you read you read the first thing it says. yeah. to phase out cruel behaviour rules. and the first thing is to go, oh, no, you know, we shouldn't be too lax. we shouldn't let kids run the run the school. but i think, you know, you look at stats and they were saying like, you know, there was up to what was it, 787,000 pupils were suspended in 22 to 23 alone, you just think that is a shockingly large number? and is it being used as a default mechanism? we'll just go. we'll just get rid of you , and then you're no rid of you, and then you're no longer our problem. and if the if the go to is to remove the children out of the school and just go, it's not our problem. we're not actually sort of for caught. you know, sort of curing the cause of the issue or the root of the issue. exactly so i just, i just think it's i think i think i agree with paul as well. it's not easy. but we can't, we can't just go straight to . yeah, getting rid of them to. yeah, getting rid of them all the time. it's not the right way. >> well that's part three gone the way of all things. in the
5:44 am
next one we'll be talking breasts, love lives and cheese. we become french er a la
5:45 am
5:46 am
5:47 am
welcome back to the final section of headliners. paul, the sunday telegraph. science finds women get threatened by women with large breasts. they do. i've seen the videos. sometimes there's even mud. and they fight. >> yeah. yes. >> yeah. yes. >> it's not what the story is
5:48 am
about. >> no. >> no. >> my pre—show research was erroneous . erroneous. >> that was a lot of research, mate. years, in fact , women mate. years, in fact, women threatened by others with large breasts. and that's not a story about guys with boobs, women with large women with large breasts are more likely to suffer verbal abuse from other women who are jealous and feel threatened by them. a study shows. write a study. where do they get this work right? because it says they recruited 114 heterosexual women online and showed them computer generated images of a woman's bare chest, which had been manipulated to have different sizes and shapes of breasts. >> i mean, we've all done that, but we don't necessarily do it as research. >> no, i mean, we can know people are getting. but you do. yeah. apparently it affects largely women with size c or adam. >> yes . cup. sorry. >> yes. cup. sorry. >> oh okay a cup. yeah i think this is really interesting. i think it's funny isn't it. it's like it's the idea of like i was trying to think of the when i read the story, i originally thought of like what's the male
5:49 am
equivalent. you know, you see a guy coming jack carson wearing a t shirt, two sizes too small and he's wearing like, and you go, what's this guy who does this guy think he is? or we all look at like, henry cavill on the which are we going to think who the comparisons are always willy winkle mate. it's got nothing to do with i don't know who willy winkle is. >> no, it's not. he's a little chap or sometimes larger chap that lives in the underpants. >> oh that guy. yes. >> oh that guy. yes. >> yes, but this goes on in the morning. >> i think. >> i think. >> yeah. this is interesting, isn't it? i don't think it's. i think this is just this is more primal, isn't it? i think people just go. you'll be you're going to be intimidated because it makes you read on this in the article, it basically says it makes them feel like it makes them feel sort of inadequate. and i think that's mainly down to to the society. i think it is unfortunate that women aren't supporting women constantly, as we hear, you know, in the media. but, yeah, it's, as long as i think they're great. >> fair enough. >> fair enough. >> good review. adam. the daily star sunday there's a woman who's boosted her sex life by using bee stings. so that's why ihear using bee stings. so that's why
5:50 am
i hear that buzzing coming from upstairs . upstairs. >> yes. >> yes. >> i'm surprised. steve, if you're hearing that noise coming from upstairs and you're not there, i'd knock on the door and find out what's going on. yeah. so this is from the daily star on sunday, woman with strange addiction discovers that they give her a bedroom buzz. so margaret has stung herself 50,000 times since her addiction started. in a bid to ease her arthritis. always starts off innocent, doesn't it? these weird kicks. but soon she discovered her weird obsession has other benefits. now, i don't know what. what's wrong with scented candles to improve? you know , libido in the bedroom? why know, libido in the bedroom? why do we have to go to bee stings? are the bees consenting to this? i don't think they are. no. and she's now going walking around with bees in her pockets like she's in shawshank and stuff . she's in shawshank and stuff. so, i don't know, it's very distasteful . distasteful. >> and they should, you know, at one point in this programme, she turns to her husband and says, you got to admit, after i've had at least ten stings, the sex is great. i mean, they then pan to her husband and he's dressed as a bee, and you can't you can't understand anything he's saying. but he looks very happy. >> yeah. the sex is great. well, let's be honest. you wouldn't eat the honey.
5:51 am
>> no, >> no, >> paul, the observer. we've gone crackers for cheese. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> stronger. stinkier softer. that's not me. how britain fell in love. how britain fell in love with cheese beyond cheddar. so british customers are more cheese curious than ever before. cheese curious. sounds like a sexuality again. everything. yeah, i'm afraid that's not on lgbtiqa+ cheese, is it ? plus lgbtiqa+ cheese, is it? plus cheese, plus cheese plus dairylea. i'm cheese. curious. i definitely am cheese curious. i mean, it's a very middle class issue. this i think the working class have only got two cheese. aren't they string and squeezy. >> all right, well, you know , >> all right, well, you know, maybe i was slightly upper working class. yeah. we had a red leicester. >> did you, have you dabbled in all the other cheese? oh i've dabbled now look at me . dabbled now look at me. >> i am seriously dabbled . i've >> i am seriously dabbled. i've taken a bath in the cheese. oh, good. >> alex batty that other woman, i mean, adam, we do. you push back about this trying of other cheeses. i'm going to be honest. >> i'm still trying to remove
5:52 am
the idea of paul bathing in cheese out of my mind. yeah, yeah. >> don't just let it go, mate. >> don't just let it go, mate. >> it's fine. >> it's fine. >> it's fine. >> i don't know, i don't know, i think it's interesting, but, you know, they're talking about cheese and it's just like you know, stats taken from asda and it's like, i don't know what kind of good cheese you get in asda. >> and i shop at asda, but i don't know, i'm looking at it like i, i've tried halloumi. i like i, i've tried halloumi. i like all the other cheeses, think. >> yeah, cheese is bloomin good. >> yeah, cheese is bloomin good. >> yeah, cheese is bloomin good. >> yeah, we opened with angel delight and then we did cheese. the show is nearly over. let's take another look at your sunday front pages. mail on sunday panic alarms given to all new mps over safety fears. a sunday times universities facing a cash catastrophe sunday telegraph pm to hand teachers and nurses bumper pay rise. the observer. labour makes working class children key to school reforms. the sunday express says the great brexit betrayal and the star red dwarf legend save our angel delight. that's all we've got time for. thank you, my guests paul and adam. we're back tomorrow at 11 with some other people doing it. and if you are watching at 5 am, stay tuned. breakfast's on the way. next,
5:53 am
enjoy yourself some angel delight or cheese and have yourself a good one. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello, good evening and welcome to your gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. well, it's been quite an unsettled start to the weekend, but through sunday is generally an improving picture and it's going to be feeling a little bit fresher too. the reason for this unsettled start, though, is that we have this waving frontal feature across the western half of the uk , and that's moving its of the uk, and that's moving its way north eastwards towards the country, and that's where we're still going to see some heavy outbreaks into this evening. but for most it is generally quite an improving picture. still staying fairly cloudy with the odd spot of rain and drizzle, but clearing across western parts of scotland and northern ireland. even though a few showers still feeding into western areas. but under those clearer spells, that's where it's going to be feeling cooler. but for most, it's going to be quite a muggy start to sunday, so there are still some heavier
5:54 am
downpours expected. these mainly in the far north—east of the country, but elsewhere across scotland. quite a bright start to sunday. just a few showers feeding into the west and similar across northern ireland. still a few showers feeding into west and coastal areas but plenty of bright sunshine to start the day a bit more cloud around across the south and southeast and that might just squeeze out a little bit of rain and drizzle at times, but it is generally improving as the morning goes on, so starting to see some sunny spells break through that cloud and leaving a largely dry sunday for most. a bit of a different story though, across northern ireland, as we see this next area of rain push into western areas. so quite a damp afternoon here, but elsewhere plenty of sunny spells, just a few showers feeding into western parts of scotland. slightly cooler temperatures compared to today so feeling a little bit fresher but where you catch the sunshine it will still be feeling pleasant and warm to start the new working week. still plenty of cloud around and still some rain in the north. it could be heavy at times and is generally going to be quite a cloudy day
5:55 am
and feeling quite humid, and we could see some showers by the afternoon , which could be heavy afternoon, which could be heavy and slow moving across scotland. so perhaps some heavy and persistent downpours here. a changeable weekend ahead. but that's it from me. goodbye for now . how. >> now. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar, sponsors of weather on gb news
