president from the gb newsroom. president joe biden has announced he's standing down from the us presidential race, saying it's in the interest of his party and the country. it comes four months before americans go to the polls , upending the race for the polls, upending the race for the polls, upending the race for the white house. he posted a statement on x this evening saying it's been the greatest honour of my life to serve as president. it follows weeks of intense pressure from fellow democrats after a faltering debate performance against republican donald trump at the end of june. biden will continue as president for the remainder of his term. he's backed his vice president, kamala harris, to take his place as the democratic party's nominee. she says she's honoured spokeswoman for republicans overseas uk sarah elliott said the election race will be a divisive one. >> this is also another reason why joe biden didn't step down earlier , because kamala harris earlier, because kamala harris was not a very popular alternative to him, so it will be a fascinating but very divisive election campaign going

forward. but they're going to have to switch gears, you know, trump right now is leading in all the swing states almost beyond the margin of error. but those polls mean nothing. now because it's a new person at the head of the ticket . head of the ticket. >> meanwhile, former us president donald trump, who's standing for the republican party, has responded to the news this evening, writing on his truth social platform, he said joe biden was not fit to run for president and is certainly not fit to serve and never was. he also said we will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but will remedy the damage he's done very quickly. trump has called biden the worst president in us history . the prime minister, sir history. the prime minister, sir keir starmer, has paid tribute to president joe biden , saying to president joe biden, saying he will have made his decision to withdraw based on what he believes is in the best interests of the american people. tory leader rishi sunak praised joe biden's love for america and dedication to

service. the former prime minister said our partnership has led to significant achievements and i wish him all the best. and former us president barack obama said that biden has never backed down from a fight . and in other news, we a fight. and in other news, we bnng a fight. and in other news, we bring you some breaking news this hour. six people, including two children, have died in a collision between wakefield and barnsley. emergency services received reports of the incident, which involved a ford focus car and a motorcycle, shortly before 4:00 this afternoon, a man and a woman were confirmed dead at the scene. a man, woman and two children, one boy and one girl who were travelling in the car, were also confirmed dead at the scene. and those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm tatiana sanchez. it's time for headliners for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gb news.com/alerts.

>> hello and welcome to headliners. or first look at monday's momentous newspapers. i'm simon evans in the running for headliners premier tonight, joined by sleepy josh howie and leo kearse . josh josh what told leo kearse. josh josh what told you you got to have the meds at least ten minutes before it. they don't kick in. i've got a very bad hangover. >> that's my excuse. >> that's my excuse. >> i intend to have one tomorrow morning. let's have a look at the front pages, daily mail. they've gone with biden out and kamala in, or kamala . i still kamala in, or kamala. i still haven't had absolute guidance on that. by the way , perhaps we can that. by the way, perhaps we can iron that out. camilla or kamala.7 >> kamala, i think i think i mean kamala anderson, don't we.7 >> mean kamala anderson, don't we? >> but anyway, guardian biden quits race that is the presidential rather than human, although that's only a matter of time. >> telegraph biden quits race express biden quits. that's why

they called the express metro . they called the express metro. biden bows out and has a sniff on the way down. and finally, the daily star sleepy joe, it's time for a nap. biden quits race. those were your front pages. race. those were your front pages . so race. those were your front pages. so fairly race. those were your front pages . so fairly uniform pages. so fairly uniform consensus on the leading story of the day as attempts to conceal the truth from the world public, have finally collapsed. what's the telegraph going with josh? yeah, biden quits race. >> really? >> really? >> this was always coming. this was in the mail. >> ever since the debate between him and trump. and it was just apparent they couldn't people he couldn't be hid anymore. his mental decline . and, so there's mental decline. and, so there's a few things that obviously raised by this . first of all, raised by this. first of all, it's like, who's to blame? and it's like, who's to blame? and it's really arguably the democrat party who have been very weak on this. also, those in the immediate vicinity of him, his, his family and the white house staff who've been

covering up . but now we have to covering up. but now we have to move forward. the first thing was, his , statement or whatever was, his, statement or whatever it was quite sort of a bit sad, a bit moving to big left. yeah the big letter that he put out, it was a little bit also his kind of like as he talked about, like his achievements, they were not that great, to be fair. no. >> in fact, i think i might have even been able to draft a better assessment of what he managed to do after after, as we were saying earlier, off air, after the lurid technicolour benny hill chase sequence of the trump years, which i kind of enjoyed at a distance. but, you know, and you can enjoy them again , and you can enjoy them again, don't worry about that. but a lot of americans did feel that biden had restored order, and he didn't really put that front. the economy was on the up, and employment. >> you say, though, i want to pick you up on one thing. >> you said, who is to blame? and i absolutely agree. that is a big question, because it's not simply a question of whether he was able to win in november. it's a question of who's been driving the car for the last 2 or 3 years. yeah. and we've been calling this on this show since this channel has been on air. yeah, i've seen it's been i've

seen so many fact checkers and so many left wing newspapers like the guardian say, oh , it's like the guardian say, oh, it's a it's a conspiracy. >> it's a far right conspiracy theory that joe biden has any mental decline. yeah, it's cleverly clipped. it's a deep fake. it's a cheap fake. no. like if it's if it's so fake, what is joe biden? no, no, a conspiracy theorist. >> it's the point at which the car has been underwater for a number of hours. you know, they've been trying to run down the, you know, you kind of go, this is not just happened. the debate. yes. finally exposed it. it made it beyond or because it was a live thing where he couldn't use a teleprompter and it was just i mean, it's absolutely outrageous and it's not just the democratic party. it is the captured media in america, i think, and also the fact that he didn't announce this, he didn't announce that he was he was standing down as the presidential candidate in a press conference. >> no, it was through a screenshot that was posted on his twitter. so i don't even know if biden actually knows that he's he stood down yet when he wakes up tomorrow. yeah. when they wake him up and say, oh, by they wake him up and say, oh, by the way, we've got some for news you. you know, he's going to be

like, i was president. what's what's going on? >> the other question now is, of course, should he leave now. yeah. if he's incompetent , or yeah. if he's incompetent, or he's seen to be incompetent in from november. is he really incompetent? >> a should he , which i guess is >> a should he, which i guess is maybe a moral question or possibly a pragmatic question. but there is also the opportunity for trump to work on that as the next loose joint, the next sort of weak point in the next sort of weak point in the line. i mean, they say they're presidential. >> the terms are actually really two years. yeah it's sort of you get your two year period and then it's all about the re—election. six months of bedding in two years of running the place, and then you're on the place, and then you're on the campaign trail again. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> but, and just speaking about trump, his response, wasn't very gracious. no, it was it was trump back to his after the calls to unity and to take down the rhetoric. >> it was it was abrasive, wasn't it? yeah. and, and it was him being him. >> and i've heard different commentators through the evening on the channel talk about how this is kind of what the

democrats want. they want him to start behaving this way again because, people don't like it, but he still has hulk hogan ringing in his ears, doesn't he? >> from that? bizarre. i mean, that milwaukee thing, you know, i mean, you know, again, i enjoy the entertainment. that's why that's why biden stood down. >> he saw that. he saw those muscles. and he was like, i'm getting out of here. i can't i can't take that guy on. >> i couldn't help but worry, and i don't want to sort of transgress any broadcast regulations here. but i can't help wondering whether biden was waiting to see whether the assassination would. >> yeah, i guess this is over now. this was plan b , played my now. this was plan b, played my final cut, the daily mail . final cut, the daily mail. >> do they have any aspects of it we haven't already covered? >> so yeah. so they see biden out. kamala in or kamala if you want to say. or maybe camilla, i don't know. yeah. so the obviously biden's biden's quit. he stood down as the presidential candidate and he's endorsed his divisive deputy, kamala harris. the clintons have also backed kamala, but obama has notably failed to give support. i don't know if this is

because his wife, michelle obama, is going to going to run possibly second favourite. >> i mean, has been to biden for some time. yeah. he would now be better than kamala harris. she would absolutely refute it at the moment. but i suppose again, like until five minutes ago, biden , you know, denied he was biden, you know, denied he was going to stand down. yeah, yeah. >> and pretty much everybody polls better than kamala. and i don't think this sort of palace coup that's obviously happened over the, over the last few weeks will have improved our chances. i mean, look what happened to rishi when he deposed boris, so, yeah, she was she was a district attorney. she didn't have a great record as a vice president. she hasn't shone at all. she's part of all the failures of biden. and she's had some failures of her own. she's some failures of her own. she's so closely associated with the migration and the southern border that was that was part of a remit. so the surge in illegal immigration, which in fact, trump was turning to point on a graph when that's what saved his life. when the bullet missed him. so, yeah, in a way, in a way that legal immigration is like what? >> there'd be gratitude. but she's also, you know, she's part

of the huge surge in inflation. >> she's she's part of the withdrawal from afghanistan and also the embrace of all the divisive woke ideology. >> so to say she is part of those things is she divisive? >> that's a funny word to say. i think people haven't seen that much of her. >> and i think she's vice president. >> i mean, you're right. >> i mean, you're right. >> and the and the and she has been arguably kept back in that role. but they always are aren't they. they are. exactly. so the idea that she has any she had any influence on any of those decisions. you're talking about is ridiculous. >> she's vice president and she had no influence over, over the southern border, which was part of her actual remit. >> josh howie don't actually have any power. >> well, it's a good question. i would tend to agree with josh. she doesn't have much power , but she doesn't have much power, but she certainly hasn't been a vocal critic. she hasn't? yeah, more importantly, she has yet to give any demonstration of any kind of intellectual like any moving out of second gear. that's what i mean. >> it says here, i mean, they talk about how actually she, she did all right recently in a debate and well, it's coming. right. and it's coming the question is she two points behind behind trump in the most

recent poll. okay. but but the other thing is if that's success. >> no, no. >> no, no. >> but the point well she the argument is whether she is going to be a better candidate than biden. >> how will they do it? i mean, do any of us actually know what's coming up? >> well, this is this is the thing the convention is coming up. so biden had already secured an absolute majority of candidates. so his loyalists and people who voted for him will probably back the candidate he endorsed. but there are other people in the party who are calling for a more competitive process. so nancy pelosi, for example , has called it. and example, has called it. and she's you know, she's one of the has she? yeah. yeah >> more competitive. >> more competitive. >> yeah. absolutely. i don't know if she's thinking of going for the top job herself, but but there's also she's pretty old herself i think. >> yeah. and she's older than she was retired. >> yeah. and she's, she's made enough money already from our stock market. she's incredibly good at dealing. >> the stock market is interestingly robert f kennedy jr has called for an open democratic process because, you know, he wanted to be he wanted to have a crack at it. and he was excluded from that process. he said it was a coronation.

yeah, now i think what you may i mean, i don't think he's a conceivable mainstream candidate for the democratic party. >> he could beat trump, though. i don't think michelle obama, gavin newsom or gretchen whitmer, i think is out and i mean, i just don't buy it at all. >> yeah, especially after musk has basically put a hole in him. yeah. >> but then stuff like that, we forget that, you know, for half the country, for the democrat voters, you know, stuff like critical race theory , gender critical race theory, gender ideology is all wonderful and they want to see more of it. >> and the other thing with kamala and very quickly is she is conceivably the best candidate to appeal to the unmarried female demographic, which is the decisive demographic for the democrats in the last couple of elections. in the last couple of elections. in the tying that into the reproductive rights issue. >> yeah, exactly. which is still massive, which vance, of course, is, is the most hardcore opponent of. >> right. he's like he i mean, but trump genuinely is quite kind of i think he's grateful for fewer abortions that have happened over the years. but but yeah, vance versus kamala,

that's going to be very interesting. the daily mail there. that's our headlines for there. that's our headlines for the front pages filleted in part two. we have non biden news including just stop oil sliding popularity. well lubricated. the future of the tory party and

welcome back to headliners. i'm still simon evans. still here with leo kearse and josh howie. we are going to try and focus on some other news now. and monday's mail. josh have labour attempting to look tough on crime or at least on the hardened criminals of just stop oil. >> yeah, it's tough leaving the west wing behind without i know, let's do it in 25 and just the wilds. >> it's like disappointing scrawny old scrap back in britain again. >> the west wing gluing themselves to the m25. >> anyway .

>> anyway. >> anyway. >> well, top mps back five year jail term given to just stop oil m25 plotters. so this is been dragging on. the debate has kind of continued online. it's continued in the press and it's just how stupid or disingenuous do you have to be to pretend this has got anything to do with free speech, anything to do with the right to protest? they broke the right to protest? they broke the law . and when they're the law. and when they're talking here about because it's like the longest sentence ever for a non—violent protest, well , for a non—violent protest, well, violence comes in many forms. certainly it's been argued by culture warriors over the last years where our word is violence. well, there were victims here. there were victims, people who were on their way to hospital appointments, cancer treatment delayed people, hundreds of thousand people, delayed loss of earnings. the stress. there are victims here. >> stochastic victims. yeah. >> stochastic victims. yeah. >> and the fact is these people should pay a price. now there's an argument that five years or four years is a long time compared to other crimes to which i would say increase those jail time for other crimes. but

as it comes here, they committed as it comes here, they committed a crime and it needs they need to be. >> and also it has been pointed out, leo, that the whole point of these kind of protests is that they are an act of defiance, knowing that they've broken the law. if you don't punish them for breaking the law, it would draw the teeth of the of the, you know, selflessness with which they make themselves victims. >> yeah, absolutely. >> yeah, absolutely. >> it would just be a hollow gesture, wouldn't it, if you don't actually get punished for it. yeah >> don't totally know what you mean, but yeah. no, i don't care. >> this is some things are more important than the law, right ? important than the law, right? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> mock me up. but i will speak my truth. well, if you don't lock them up. yeah. >> yeah, exactly. yeah, they're doing it to sort of provoke and they're doing it to cause mass disruption. and we've got to understand that this was sort of reaching the point where somebody was going to die, either somebody was going to get stuck in an ambulance and die from a heart attack or an appendix bursting or whatever, or somebody was one of them is going to get run over, you know, when they sit in the road. people were getting really annoyed. i've seen in germany, i've seen in other countries. i fantasised about it all the time. yeah. and there's a lawyer in paraguay who got out and shot

one of the one of the protesters. so, you know, this was reaching that point. so i think it's right for the state to crack down on it now. and we've seen really harsh , we've seen really harsh, sentences being handed out for people on the, the other side of the spectrum, instead of the far left on the far right, somebody was jailed for two years for distributing stickers. they said such horrific things as it's okay to be white, which obviously is not okay to be also to be white. >> pretty. >> pretty. >> yeah. but it's okay to be white. that was given as evidence in court. so, you know, other things. i'm not i'm not saying, you know, i'm saying he said other stuff. you're right. but that was also just say, i wonder if this is sending a message to the police who seem to be extraordinarily ambivalent about whether or not they should encourage the protesters to carry on or, yeah, on one occasion, prevent on several occasions prevented drivers who were trying to clear the road. >> yeah. and they were kind of come along and handcuff the drivers. >> yes. that's you know, that's the community actually doing its own policing when the police don't step up to the mark and what they really need to do is go after the funders of just stop oil. so if you've got

energy tycoons, green energy tycoons who fund just stop oil to create this image, that there's this huge demand for green energy, and really they're making money off it. >> yeah, well that's true. we have the guardian elianne and what i'm sure will be very welcome advice for the tory party on reorientating themselves. >> so the tories must resist the false choice of wooing either reform or lib dem defectors, says a think tank. this is the onward think tank. it says that former conservative supporters who opted to vote for reform or the lib dems instead, this time round had common characteristics, including scepticism towards keir starmer and worries about immigration. so they're saying don't be keir starmer. that's a good starting point for the for the conservatives. and also i mean, i think the conservatives were already making a lot of noise around immigration but not actually doing anything . and i actually doing anything. and i think, you know, what attracted people to reform was that they seemed like they would actually do something instead of just talk about it, or at least we're not afraid of being called racist or something. >> yeah. what do you think, josh? >> well, i think that actually they're they're putting too much

of a limit on it. it's not about reform or lib dem defectors , reform or lib dem defectors, actually. they need to be appealing to labour people who voted labour as well. do you think so? because i voted labour and i am sceptical about sceptical about keir starmer. >> yeah, but not because he's not right wing enough. >> no, but i am sceptical about what he's going to deliver and i'm also sceptical about their attitudes towards immigration. so the point is these are issues. now i think that tribalism, as in the in the olden days of just voting for your party, have gone out the window. and i think people are now more interested in the issues, so i think that they're, they're right in that there's a false left or right issue of the party going forward. i think they have to think about who's going to take forward those issues and focus on what most people want. >> the stats from the election suggest that all the tories need to do is get everyone who is kind of tory instinctively to start voting tory again. we find there were just there was a tory like, yeah, it was a weird distortion of the figures, wasn't it? to a large extent, fine. >> but not still not win. no.

>> but not still not win. no. >> and every party they could win, they could win because labour won with a very small vote share, because loads of tory voters either stayed at home or voted for fringe parties . home or voted for fringe parties. >> well, i mean, but still a huge seat number. yeah. so. oh yeah. no, it's the point. but every one who wins in this country is always going to be doing by appealing to the centrists. >> but people talk about the centre. the tories need to go back to the centre. i think where the centre is has shifted and especially after five years of labour, it'll have shifted even further. >> that's very possible. back to labour now with the times. josh and rachel reeves could be the rolls—royce of rate rises well, so reeves hints at inflation busting pay rise for public workers. >> now she can hint all she wants, but the fact is she doesn't have much choice because two independent pay review bodies have come in and say that the nhs and teachers should be getting a 5% increase and the government, whoever it is, usually has to go along with that. with that recommendation, this was already actually the these were released before the election, but the tories held on

to it, held back on it and didn't act on it. right as it was. it would lead to a 7 billion, increase and need to find that, because now they're saying it's about 8 billion. so she has already that was not factored into the previous budgets , but it was kind of like budgets, but it was kind of like they knew that 7 billion was needed and now they're going to needed and now they're going to need this extra billion. so really she needs to find an extra billion to make it happen, this is why they're the labour are, like kind of holding back on things like the, scrapping the two two parent. the two child. yeah, cap because they have to find all this money from somewhere. yeah. >> where are they going to find it? >> yeah, i'm not sure where they're going to find it. i mean, a good place to start would be slashing the public sector. they've done. they've done studies. they keep doing these studies that say, oh, we've done this trial in a four day working week for this council. and it turns out everybody can get their work donein everybody can get their work done in four days. >> well, yes, percent fewer people. so yeah, 20% fewer people. so yeah, 20% fewer people all working five days. >> in fact. you know, why not see if they can do it in two days a week? i bet they could. i

certainly could when i worked in the council. but i think what this is, you know, giving, giving the public sector workers a pay giving the public sector workers a pay rise like this is almost like buying votes. it's like the peronists, when they were in power in argentina, saying, if you vote for us, we're going to we're going to give you all this largesse which isn't a sustainable, system. >> but it didn't come through that. this came from an independent pay review. so it's got nothing to do with trying to win votes. this came through under the tories. so. well, like the labour, given the public sector pay rises, has got nothing to do with winning votes. >> it's just a votes. >> it'sjust a happy >> it's just a happy coincidence. well, okay. >> well, okay. >> well, okay. >> it's a happy coincidence that it was done months ago. this review. >> so. so you're saying the tories, if they had won, would have had to go. >> they had to do. they would all follow through the same on the recommendations. that's what they always do. >> fair enough. leah telegraph, leo lewis good. all of the famously impartial news agencies complains that the bbc were afraid of not being impartial. >> yeah, so the bbc bosses panicked over impartiality rules dunng panicked over impartiality rules during the pandemic, says lewis goodall. he's the former newsnight policy editor who suggested that bbc bosses were

panicked by accusations of left wing bias during the covid pandemic. and this basically comes down to while he was at the bbc, goodall became embroiled in a public spat over impartiality with sir robin gibb, a former director of communications at number 10. i think under theresa may, who was appointed as a bbc board member in 2021, and, lewis goodall wrote an article for the new statesman that was very critical of the tory government, and he was told after after he'd had this sort of twitter spat with the sir robbie, the editors told him to be very careful and that robbie is watching you and lewis goodall says it was improper for someone on the board not supposed to be involved in editorial, to be involved in editorial, to be involved in editorial, to be interfering. people high up in the bbc didn't seem to be pushing back enough. i mean, i don't know, surely robbie gibb, his place on the board of the bbc, is to set governance and to set strategy and provide oversight for the bbc. and if you've got wildly, partisan people directing news programmes like this, which lewis goodall clearly is and

clearly was, and we can see it in his in his output now, how partisan he is that , you know, partisan he is that, you know, this, this is quite appropriate for, for robbie gibb to, to take the task i would say. >> so what do you think. yeah. >> so what do you think. yeah. >> no, i mean, he says here, you know, the wedge was driven between the media and the listeners, we saw making out the we're all part of a liberal metropolitan elite who didn't care. now, the people who did that was themselves people. the audience are not blind. they can for see themselves that and he's just proved it. he goes on to his podcast, which is about the liberal metropolitan elite. that's who he is. that's not. so let's be honest here. now that gb news gets a lot of criticism, right? but the idea is that hopefully we're not hypocrites, that we stay our opinions. we're not coming from a position of impartiality wherever we are on the political spectrum , and then the political spectrum, and then we stay to it. so the idea that he was impartial is frankly just not true. and we see that now within his podcast. >> i think that's you're absolutely right . newsnight was absolutely right. newsnight was not a bad show. you know, they used to have on some pretty good

guests. there were some good ding dongs over the years. but you. absolutely. it is so blatantly obvious with him on there now with sopel and maitlis. i mean, it's just embarrassingly narrow. i mean yeahisnt embarrassingly narrow. i mean yeah isn't it. it makes rory stewart and alastair campbell look like, you know, gore vidal and william . and william. >> he's also critical. he's criticising the bbc because he said they didn't fight for me to stay, i he said he floated the idea of leaving and they didn't. and i got the message like the ego on him , like it's crazy. ego on him, like it's crazy. >> i guess he's happy enough now to be able to say it. josh, the guardian will squeeze this in before the break. it seems to be a glance at first sight of a rather unseemly family squabble over the recent election. >> well, yeah, well, that's because. yeah. labour candidate who lost to new prose pro gaza mp accused his backers of intimidation . you're saying that intimidation. you're saying that because she's called heather iqbal? iqbal and the person who beat her was iqbal muhammad? yes >> so it's a it's a thing, but i've the latest in, people who've been been defeated or were, in elections against

independent pro gaza people. >> she herself is a muslim and is talking about the behaviour by members of his team . now he's by members of his team. now he's come out and said, no, it wasn't members of our team, it was just supporters. but she's saying she has proof that it was. yeah. and we saw really how terrible people behaved during this election, the pro gaza contingent, how thuggish they were, tires slashed. accusations here that, you know, she supports genocide just because she's a labour. >> this is the thing i want to get to. i mean, i've made a flip remark about it, but what i'm concerned about is the idea that she is a labour mp, but she's also a muslim. and then an independent muslim has used like strong arm tactics to take votes off her. but the presumption is, the unspoken part of this is that because she is a muslim herself, she she has been rejected by a by a sectarian voting bloc who were voting on the gaza issue, not just the suggestion. >> they said very clearly yelling at people, you are not a muslim. if you vote labour, it's

absolutely sectarian. if only there was some sort of, you know, examples of this around the world that we could have learned lessons from, but i'm sure it'll get much better as as labour open the borders even wider across the worst of it. >> well, that's part two, all donein >> well, that's part two, all done in part three. the aftershocks of the assassination attempt and an even shocking crime in forest gate.

and welcome back to headliners we're into the second half now. leo and monday's telegraph have some long overdue counterclaims against sexism in the discussion about secret service barbie. >> sexist claims that women agents feel trump are insulting . agents feel trump are insulting. says us security chiefs. so this is about the failed assassination attempt on trump and the footage that we saw of women female agents, you know, fumbling their guns and running into each other and, you know , i

into each other and, you know, i wish i was making a sandwich and all the rest of it. so the us homeland security chief, alejandro mayorkas, hit back after misogynistic attacks on the female secret service agents who threw themselves into the line of fire to protect donald trump from would be assassin. i mean, maybe some of them threw themselves in the line of fire. i definitely saw one hiding behind donald trump. >> there was i mean, there was one very disobliging photograph which seemed to suggest that a female agent couldn't quite work out how to join the ruck or the maul or whatever it was. that didn't strike me as cowardice, just like confusion and hesitation. the problem, the actual objective problem was that she was five foot three, right? >> that was the big that's that famous photo. and that's the reason why you could see his face in that iconic photo. >> yeah, punching the air. >> yeah, punching the air. >> she's like, you know, a foot and a half shorter than his face. exactly yeah. so if there was an assassin at that point, she'd just go over her head. yeah, yeah, that's of all jobs. >> she really got to say that one. she should have been jumping up and down continually, but she was also. that also is

something she should have been doing for a few years, to be honest, because she was also, you know , she was not in good you know, she was not in good physical condition. and also joking aside, that is a job where you want people to be extraordinarily fit because apart from anything else, and big and the next day and also if these people really thought that , these people really thought that, you know, these forced diversity hires were appropriate, why the next day when, you know, the failures had been exposed, why the next day? >> did trump security detail all have big, solid men? there wasn't a single five foot two woman wolverines, and also this misogynism it's not misogynism. nobody's saying that these women couldn't do it because they're women. we're saying it's forced diversity. it's when you're just forcing like they had a target to get 30% women in the secret service, they're obviously not getting the best candidates. they're just going for women. yeah. >> i mean, we know that women can do it. if you've seen in the line of fire. yeah you know that wonder woman or wonder. yeah. you know, she was really competent in that film. yeah. was it renee. what's her name, zellweger. oh, no. different one, you know. but anyway , she one, you know. but anyway, she was really good in that film, so i think the women could do it. >> yeah.

>> yeah. >> shocking and appalling news. now, josh, in the telegraph from forest gate of pavement. progress pride flag has been vandalised. >> we are getting more and more away from america . away from america. >> we are gone. we are now the south circular. yeah, we have now got a pride . now got a pride. >> we're now dealing with a desecrated pride flag. police hunt for hate crime, suspect after pride flags vandalised. this is in east london, forest gate railway station. famous to comedians as it was the old ed comedy. yeah. had the venue, right? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> it was great. yeah. and, something supposedly, there's something supposedly, there's some footage of someone , i some footage of someone, i think, putting red paint. oh, here we go. yeah. >> is that them vandalising that ? >> is that them vandalising that? >> is that them vandalising that? >> obviously deliberately vandalising it. now, the thing first thing is there are different pride flags. that actually doesn't look like a pride flag. that looks like the trans flag. >> that's just regular trans flag. >> that's a regular trans flag. there so there is a schism within the lgbtqia+ community. yeah. with the lgb not wanting to be called queer, that's considered an offensive word,

not wanting to be allied with the taoiseach . the taoiseach. >> plus, do you think that's what he was? >> so that could well be part of it here. the fact that that is a trans flag as opposed to the traditional pride flag, would suggest there could be that element to it. but the but, of course , this has been used as a course, this has been used as a hate crime. yeah . and it's i hate crime. yeah. and it's i mean, the police what they've doneis mean, the police what they've done is they've trawled cctv, they've made house to house enquiries, conducted forensic investigations. no arrests have been made. it's like, yeah, come on. we've got a lot of serious stuff to be getting on about knives and burglaries. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and if you, if you don't want your political symbol to get covered in paint or tire marks or whatever, don't paint it on the ground. in the road. >> this is certainly provocative, isn't it? it's like helena chard. >> exactly. it's like putting it in a bacon sandwich. yeah, yeah. >> don't bite me. yeah. >> don't bite me. yeah. >> and also also that flag was transitioned to a different type of flag. so they should approve of flag. so they should approve of that. >> it's very in keeping no surprise to hear katharine birbalsingh reaction to the government's plans for education reform. now leo in the telegraph. >> so there's a backlash over

government plans to soften measures tackling bad school behaviour. so katharine birbalsingh, who runs the michaela schools, are incredibly effective at dealing with disadvantaged pupils and get incredibly good results. and she'd probably be replicated right across the country. well, she says no. >> the school. >> the school. >> yeah, if we can replicate her, the technology's got to be there. we did it with a sheep. can't we do it with a katharine birbalsingh? i don't know, but she says disadvantaged children will pay the price of labour overhauls, procedures for deaung overhauls, procedures for dealing with disruptive pupils . dealing with disruptive pupils. so suspensions and exclusions have reached a record high. they were up 36% last year, but that helps schools with poor discipline. it stops the sort of disruptive kids dragging down the kids that are doing well, but it looks like labour are going to roll back some of these things and roll back some of the tory, the things that the tories did that were actually good. they had this, this thing, its behaviour hubs, a flagship scheme supporting schools. so apparently the tories were good on education and there are

concerns that labour are going to roll this back. >> at least this policy had a positive impact. and it's not just her. there's we're seeing, ismael, who's a principal of, newham collegiate sixth form, which is a very successful school, and they're worried because it will disproportionately affect because a lot of the, the, the more troublesome students come from, deprived backgrounds where there's also trauma in the family and are in those areas where it's going to then affect the other students who are behaving so trying to get out, whereas other people have opfions whereas other people have options to go to a more middle class schools or even private schools. so it is going to make an impact. >> absolutely. i mean, it is there are always going to be some losers in these systems and schemes. and perhaps if you get expelled or suspended or excluded or whatever they call it now five times in a row, your life is ruined, you know? but but there comes a point where you're you're ruining 30 kids at a time. otherwise. yeah. >> yeah, absolutely. it's an existential threat to israel. >> now, josh and a somewhat illiberal legislative proposal in the guardian. yes >> so draft israeli law to limit academic speech labelled

mccarthyite. and this is a law allowing, anybody who's supporting terror, any staff to then, basically lose their jobs. the reason why censoring israel, obviously it's a different country. what does that have to do with us, or why is it important? because it's arguably one of the first western countries, or at least that's on the sort of front line of terrorism to take these kind of steps within their educational system. now, if this law was enacted in america, probably 99% of staff would get fired. >> so when they say in support of terror, obviously, i suppose the, the question is, does that mean just fly in a gaza saying, well, where where is the line exactly? >> so that is obviously there is a danger there. there's always a risk. but this has been interestingly proposed very hardly by the national student union because everybody over there is conscripted, they serve in the army, and they don't want to come out of the army and go into university and then have to deal with somebody pushing the case for the terrorists, who they surely, surely they're going to be beefier than these

people with the gaza flags or whatever. >> so they're going to beat them up. surely it's a self—solving situation. >> yeah. the playground, the natural law . yeah. take care of natural law. yeah. take care of it. it is a tricky one because i do understand the, israel's not in quite the same situation, that you can enjoy the luxury of free speech to quite the same extent. but on the other hand, universities are a place where you're supposed to be able to debate. >> but where is the line? that's the question. >> well, i suppose that's the question. as long as they say you're not actually allowed to say. i think it's a good thing that suicide bombers drive into shopping malls or whatever. but on the other hand, i do think that armed resistance to a military occupation, i'm not saying that's what it is, but you know what i mean. it's going to be there is a fine line here, but maybe this is going to put that line down on the ground. we'll see. telegraph now, leo and the nation's favourite grandma has sympathy with our struggling trade. >> so comedy is harder now because you can't make jokes about being foreign, says maureen lipman. they've kind of cherry picked what she said there. so the 78 year old actor

and comedian. i can't believe she's 78. >> timeless, ageless . >> timeless, ageless. >> timeless, ageless. >> yeah, i remember when she was like, young. that means i'm old now. as well. >> that's crazy. yeah, a couple of weeks ago. >> no way. yeah. and i went, oh, i'm josh howie. and she sort of went, yes. now i couldn't see if it was a yes or like i recognise you or a yes of disapproving. oh. >> probably saw you in your crib. >> oh yeah. >> oh yeah. >> so she was on this podcast and she said most comedy is about somebody falling on a on a banana skin or being stupid or being foreign or being. well, you can't do any of that now, rightly or wrongly, rightly, so it's very hard. it's very hard to find material nowadays . i to find material nowadays. i don't know, i mean, i think i think comedy, you can, i do, i do lots of comedy punching down at whoever i want. i mean, i the way i see it, everybody's beneath me. so i've always said, i mean, i've never for ten years. >> now you get in the back of a cab and you say, oh, you're a comedian. and you know, it's a hard job. now with the political correctness of my line has always been, there's always an edge, and you just got to work out where it is. and then you and then go over it, and then it can sort of dangle the audience

oven can sort of dangle the audience over. but the tricky part, which maybe is what more is coming up is, is that now people take offence on behalf of other people, which does seem to be a new. >> i think that she just like has a she has a lot of accents. yeah. now she's, she can't do herjapanese accent. her japanese accent. >> she's herjapanese accent. >> she's got an ology. bless her. that's the three quarters done. just the full back left to beat coming up. can the olympics heal mankind? airborne flight simulators and are the sequins off strictly? we'll come and find out in a couple

and welcome back to headliners for our final look at the daily mail. this is monday's mail as raw, unfiltered optimism from the pope. josh, as we look forward to next week's olympics. >> olympics? now, pope francis calls for paris olympics to inspire a truce between countries at war. this is because of a greek tradition where during the duration of the games, there would be a truce. now the pope is a powerful man, it ain't going to happen. no, unfortunately powerful . unfortunately powerful. >> in what sense? discus. well i don't see him as a track and field contender. >> these could be, i don't know what is. >> maybe one of the sitting down sports shooting maybe or

something. >> but yes. so, it's unlikely to happen. there are obviously wars across the world, including ukraine, israel and, and yeah, israel , israeli, ukraine, israel and, and yeah, israel, israeli, is israel athletes team. presumably they do have a team of 88 people. they're going to get the shin bet officers. the security on them is going to be absolutely insane. after obviously the munich olympics, there's no excuse. >> my ignorance . there is no >> my ignorance. there is no separate team representing palestinians or anything of that kind, is there? >> i believe so, because i technically they're not a country at the no. >> but on the other hand, israel may have some arab israeli arabs. >> yeah, absolutely. i mean , >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, israeli arabs serve in the idf. yeah absolutely. part of society. there was someone in greece who just got beaten up . greece who just got beaten up. so that's going to be the only reason they he, they didn't stop beating up is because he managed to show his cross. he's now a christian. right. and he's been flown back to israel with broken bones and stuff. >> so i wonder he's probably thinking of russia. ukraine? >> is he perhaps more i think of that. >> well, you know, i think putin could see, you know, the dancing with the ribbon. i think putin could flick over, see that and

be like, you know what? >> maybe, maybe we shouldn't have a war. it's a yeah, yeah, i've been doing, you know, barking up the wrong tree. >> russia has had 500,000 casualties since the start of the war. >> i didn't know it was that. oh, that's not deaths. >> that's just casualty wounds. wounded people as well. >> a huge amount of people . >> a huge amount of people. >> a huge amount of people. >> yeah. oh, yeah. >> yeah. oh, yeah. >> what is it as a percentage of their young men by comparison with ukraine? >> it's not it's not just young men. and it's not just men. they're they're emptying the women's prisons. they're grabbing it, but they're managing to recruit. they're starting to pay. they are paying quite a lot. and they're getting people from nepal and from, you know , syria and all all over, know, syria and all all over, all over the world. but they're they're still managed to managing to get about 30,000 new men every month. so, you know , men every month. so, you know, even though, you know, they don't have the they're running a bit low in tanks and stuff like that. they send people into battle and literally golf carts and motorbikes. so it's still like an absolute meat assault carnage for russia. yeah but that's the olympics. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> they should they should make an olympic sport.

>> latest flight simulators. now leo in the telegraph they simulate flight by being , simulate flight by being, airborne in a plane. >> that sounds like cheating to me. i don't know, i may be missing something here. >> yeah. so, raf pilots are set for airborne virtual reality training, as military warned, it must modernise. so the raf is considering using augmented reality technology to train the next generation of frontline fighter pilots amid warnings the uk's military requires urgent modernisation. so this is cutting edge software which allows pilots to experience hostile combat situations while in the air. so it's more efficient than simulators and probably feels a lot more realistic. you know, you're not going to be able to in a little thing on hydraulic stilts. you're not going to be able to recreate actually flying a plane in there. but with this, it projects the, you know, the dogfight, the targets and all the rest. >> i tell you , i flew a flight >> i tell you, i flew a flight simulator in the krypton factor in 1994. yeah, yeah. like this obe downhill for you. >> and you had to. it was. that was before i'd even done stand up. i really thought i was going places and i remember i came

second, i lost. you had to follow the jet in front. that was all it had to do. and then i lost it. and once you've lost it, right. and then just in the nick of time, it appeared again. >> no way. yeah, yeah . someone >> no way. yeah, yeah. someone up there, like anybody who's watched top gun two, which is surely most of the world has seen this technology in action. >> and this is what they did. that's exactly what they did in the film. he follows he he proves the mission could happen. so the idea that we don't have something similar in that film came out, what, three years ago is kind of a bit. >> on the other hand, they're all going to be drones anyway. once again, i feel i'm intruding on private grief in this story, josh, but feel free to have an opinion about this, >> mom breastfed son until age six and had by by booby party to celebrate my feeling when you read these stories is if the child can do a written request. >> yeah, then they're too old. >> yeah, then they're too old. >> i hope this finds you. >> i hope this finds you. >> well, i will see you at 6 pm. within the boudoir. p.m. within the boudoir. >> so it's a little bit weird. >> so it's a little bit weird. >> i. >> i. >> every so often you encounter

one, though, don't you like, like the. >> i think the reason. yes. there's a i think it comes more from the mum . really. from the mum. really. >> vegan cat syndrome . yeah. >> vegan cat syndrome. yeah. >> vegan cat syndrome. yeah. >> just like not wanting to end, but also physically wanting to maintain her shape . maintain her shape. >> yeah, that's possibly true. >> yeah, that's possibly true. >> apparently it's very good for you over to tv news. now with the time scale, it sounds like strictly is called that for reason. >> yeah. so strictly needs intimacy coaches to stop dancers crossing boundaries or foxtrotting across boundaries. so bbc studios is considering who produced strictly is considering hiring advisors for its most popular shows. professionals after allegations of physical and verbal abuse and they've got a shocking example of this abuse. who is making you perfect? the professional dancer graziano di prima asked in a training video for last year's strictly come dancing. zara mcdermott, who's the reality tv star turned presenter who's partnered with him, rolled her eyes and grudgingly replied you, to be fair, so i don't know this hideous abuse. yeah, this is exactly. yeah, any video , any

exactly. yeah, any video, any any film you see about about, you know, people you know, clawing whiplash or whatever, isn't it, you know, flashdance . isn't it, you know, flashdance. >> no. yeah. or the drummers. yeah. or whiplash. yeah, yeah. >> but with dancers got to be the best. >> i mean, that is what people watch it for. they want to see dancers on the verge of tears dunng dancers on the verge of tears during rehearsals being bullied, all coming out in the perfection of the performance. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> one of them talks about having ptsd from absolutely ridiculous. >> it's an insult for two reasons. >> the hope that there's some genuine , palpable sexual tension genuine, palpable sexual tension which is going to destroy a marriage and, and, and the improvement of the dancing standards that have come from like harsh scrutiny, but also they talk about one of the people complains about how the boundanes people complains about how the boundaries that are crossed here because the actual professionals have been doing it since they were five, six, seven years old. >> yeah, they just grab each other, they put their leg up. they do this. the bodies are so, you know, it isn't. it's desexualised for them. that's that's been part of their life. >> john. sergeant, on the other hand, finds himself si king and also bullying is a core part of stuff like this. >> and if you watch, you know ,

>> and if you watch, you know, gordon ramsay, for example, his first, his early shows were just 100% workplace bullying. >> fantastic . we're all in >> fantastic. we're all in consensus. carry on strictly. the show is nearly over. let's take another quick look at monday's front pages . they are monday's front pages. they are all singing the same song daily mail biden out. kamala in question. mark carl heneghan biden quits race. looks like he's quitting something else there. telegraph biden quits race express. biden quits race is implied. metro biden bails out. and finally, the daily star. sleepy joe, it's time for a nap. big sleep. those were your front pages. that's all we have time for. thank you to my guest, josh howie leo kearse. i'll be back tomorrow at 11 pm. with leo and cressida whitworth . with leo and cressida whitworth. if you're watching at 5 am, stay tuned for breakfast. otherwise, thank you very much for your company on this momentous evening on which we bid farewell to tiresome old no and very gentle and kindly old grandfather of politics. >> well, thank you very much. good night. >> a brighter outlook with boxt

solar, sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello. here's your latest weather update from the met office. for gb news we'll see a mixed bag of weather across the uk during the week ahead, all of us seeing some rain at times but when the sun pops through it should feel pleasantly warm. we've seen a ridge of high pressure giving a lot of fine weather through the day on sunday, but low pressure starting to move back in from the west. that's starting to feed outbreaks of rain in across northern ireland, and that will continue to push in across northern ireland as we head into the overnight period, reaching parts of southern scotland and northern england during the early hours , with some showery early hours, with some showery bursts. also working in across parts of wales and the south—west of england, the south—east should hold onto some clear spells, and will also see some clear weather towards the north of the uk. and here we'll see quite chilly temperatures too. we could well see temperatures dip into low single figures in 1 or 2 spots, but elsewhere it stays pretty mild with temperatures in the low to mid teens . so the new working mid teens. so the new working week gets off to a sunny start, albeit quite chilly across the north of scotland. temperatures

soon starting to climb though in that july sunshine, whereas towards the south of scotland across northern ireland and parts of northern england, a cloudy picture . some outbreaks cloudy picture. some outbreaks of rain, at times still quite heavy in nature. that rain at times to some showery bursts still across parts of wales and the west of england, starting to push into central southern england and the midlands, whereas the south—east of england should start the day on a quite sunny note. as we go through the day, outbreaks of rain across northern ireland, northern england and southern scotland give way to brightening skies, but with scattered heavy showers in the afternoon, 1 or 2 of those turning quite thundery. the rain across southern parts of the uk will start to clear away towards the east, with plenty of sunshine across wales, central southern england into the afternoon and some sunshine too. towards the far north and northwest of the uk, temperatures peaking at 24 or 25 celsius towards the south—east, so pretty warm even though it is july. as for tuesday, we'll see further showery rain moving in from the west across england and wales, a scattering of showers towards the north and northwest, at least to start with because a ridge of high pressure will move in from the west and the weather will start to quieten down as we

go through the day, that holds an improvement during the middle part of the week, all of us seeing some sunshine at times , seeing some sunshine at times, temperatures responding to that sunshine too. but further rain arrives later. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb
