>> it's 11:00. you're with >> it's11:00. you're with gb news and the top story tonight. it's understood that rishi sunak's replacement as conservative leader will be announced on november the 2nd. the party itself said tonight . the party itself said tonight. the party itself said tonight. the former prime minister will remain in post until that date.

nominations to succeed him will open the day after tomorrow, wednesday at 7:00 in the evening, then close next monday at 230 in the afternoon . at 230 in the afternoon. conservative mps will then narrow it down to four candidates, who will each make their case to party members at their case to party members at the conservative party conference this autumn. now, news from the united states, now the head of the secret service there has admitted that the attempt to assassinate donald trump was the most significant operational us secret service failure for decades . kimberly failure for decades. kimberly cheadle has been testifying today before a congressional heanng today before a congressional hearing in an effort to explain herself following that attempt to kill donald trump last week, she was being questioned closely about the security lapses that allowed a lone gunman to successfully take aim at mr trump , saying she does take full trump, saying she does take full responsibility for what went wrong. >> the assassination attempt of former president donald trump on

july 13th is the most significant operational failure of the secret service in decades, and i am keeping him and his family in my thoughts. the secret service's solemn mission is to protect our nation's leaders on july 13th, we failed . we failed. >> meanwhile, financial donations to the us democrats have surged after president biden's announcement that he is stepping down from the us presidential race. in an online statement yesterday, joe biden endorsed his vp kamala harris , endorsed his vp kamala harris, as his favourite candidate for president, with the clintons backing that up. although the same endorsement was missing from former president barack obama . that comes afterjoe obama. that comes after joe biden faced increasing calls to step aside since his poor debate performance against donald trump last month. but i can tell you that within the last minute or so, joe biden has joined a kamala harris campaign event in delaware . the vice president delaware. the vice president just flying to delaware within the last couple of hours to meet

her campaign team. and he has come through on a phone and he has addressed the people meeting at that event , saying, i know at that event, saying, i know yesterday's news was surprising, but it was the right thing to do. so for those people wondering what is happening to joe biden, there's certainly a great number of theories that are being published online at the moment. if you're watching on television, these are the pictures from delaware. it is poor quality. those pictures at the moment, we're waiting for that signal to stabilise because it is just a staff meeting at a campaign hq in wilmington in delaware. so it isn't really what you'd call broadcast quality, but we're just looking in on that campaign meeting to tell you that joe biden has spoken over the phone at that event, and if you're watching on television, you can see that now, kamala harris herself has taken to the stage to address staffers there. well, it's also important to mention that the former speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, has also swung in

her support behind kamala harris, kamala harris , as well harris, kamala harris, as well as, of course, bill and hillary clinton . they've backed her bid clinton. they've backed her bid to become the democratic party's nominee. she said her enthusiastic support for kamala harris for president is now official. personal and political . official. personal and political. well, kamala harris responded earlier on today saying, together, we're going to win this here in the uk, though in the house of commons today, the prime minister said that joe biden had been an asset to the united states . united states. >> a man who, during five decades of service never lost touch with the concerns of working people and always put his country first. a true friend of the labour movement, his presidency will leave a legacy that extends far beyond america to freedom and security. on this continent. >> well, also speaking in the

house of commons today was the home secretary, yvette cooper. she said that the rwanda scheme has cost the british taxpayer £700 million. she described the migrant deterrence scheme as the most shocking waste of taxpayers money she'd ever seen, and said she would take urgent action to start clearing the asylum backlog . in one simple change backlog. in one simple change that she said would save the taxpayer an estimated £7 billion over the next decade. and that's after nearly 1500 migrants arrived in the uk over the last week, crossing the english channel. just one more news story to bring you concerning the ex—footballer joey barton, who's due to appear in court over controversial tweets directed at female football pundh directed at female football pundit eni aluko. it follows an investigation by cheshire police, who said the charges related to messages the former footballer sent in january. if he's convicted , he could face up he's convicted, he could face up to two years in jail or take an unlimited fine. those are the latest gb news headlines for

shorthands, like a karen or something. >> oh , god, let's have a look at >> oh, god, let's have a look at our front pages. obviously, we're all sleeping with the hangover of last night's shock announcement. now labour opens door to giving asylum to 70,000. thatis door to giving asylum to 70,000. that is the daily mail, the rest of the papers are mostly america focused. senior democrats throw weight behind harris to take on trump. that's the guardian. the times have donor dollars pour in as harris promises victory. she really looks like she's on a hunt there. the express farage more tory mps will soon defect to reform and handsome young george. i think on the front, the anointed in the eye that is kamala harris. they are anticipating that she will not face any sort of selection process. and finally, the daily star, with perhaps the most insightful commentary the next president will be michelle obama, says the asparagus psychic. those were your front pages.

psychic. those were your front pages . so, cressida, we will pages. so, cressida, we will kick off with the guardian. >> okay. >> okay. >> senior democrats throw weight behind harris to take on trump. >> so she's got lots of support. >> so she's got lots of support. >> i mean, i've been @gbnews all day listening to a variety of opinions. so i know there's a lot of people who aren't supporting her, >> but nancy pelosi is behind her. >> she was one of the people that most wanted biden out. yeah she's got what she wants. so it's looking like she might she might do it. she's got lots of smoothly sailed through. >> she might i mean she yeah she, she's that's what it looks like. >> that's what's going to happen. she's got a lot of support from celebrities as well. there's lots of, katy perry's , you know, big political perry's, you know, big political voice. >> she's supporting her paloma faith, probably. >> i mean, i don't know, that's kerry katona is for trump. >> i'm not joking. >> i'm not joking. >> i'm not joking. >> i don't know if she's going to rip a t shirt off at the convention. >> pelosi has genuinely been one of the ones they think behind the scenes who's been urging him to leave. i read something today, which is from the wall

street journal. it was just a screenshot . the opening of the screenshot. the opening of the whole story was recounted , an whole story was recounted, an incident which took place in 2021. in october 21st, and i get slightly confused with the different sort of departments and venues and so on in washington . well, exactly. but washington. well, exactly. but apparently biden was trying to persuade the democrats to sign off on $1 trillion infrastructure bill, and it was so unable to explain it in you know, in his own language that she waited until he left and then went right. listen, this is what he was trying to say, you know? and from that moment on, he has not spoken in that environment. he has not spoken to that . you know, this is like to that. you know, this is like a select committee or whatever they have . they have. >> and who knows if he's actually still alive. he hasn't been seen in days. >> and the only and some republicans have asked for literally proof of life. yeah. and he's just given a well, they call it an appearance at some sort of staff or democrat congress thing . yeah, but it was congress thing. yeah, but it was over the phone. and those can easily be faked . you can get an easily be faked. you can get an indian scammer to fake one of

those. i've had those calls. i mean you have to say they are doing everything they can to create the environment rich with the opportunity for conspiracy to grow in. yeah, this seems to be like the signature kind of characteristic of american politics in the last few weeks. right. they did this with the with the shooting . they there with the shooting. they there was just so much that could have been sort of cleaned up, could have been made available and transparent. yeah. but no they don't. they like almost to kind of create this you know. yeah. >> well they could have sorted this out months ago. >> couldn't. >> couldn't. >> it's a really weird. >> it's a really weird. >> and they could certainly could have just had biden live on camera saying, i resign. it is with great regret that i have come to recognise that, you know, but no, it's a tweet . know, but no, it's a tweet. yeah. you know what i mean? >> no press conference, but totally screenshot a screenshot of a letter. >> yeah, nothing. and who knows? it's obviously him. not it's not a letter that he wrote. >> it's, you know, so it's the people around him. but i know, you know, like, who was it? >> the, the soviet leader , >> the, the soviet leader, brezhnev was it who was basically senile and completely

incompetent in his last few years . but the structure, the years. but the structure, the apparatus around him, you know, kept it, kept it going, and i think i think it's the same the same here. that word kremlinology, which is what they used to describe the science of trying to read the runes of what was really going on behind the walls is, is now very, very much the skill set that you need. yeah. to understand american politics. and how did we get here? it's interesting that obama hasn't come out and backed , obama hasn't come out and backed, kamala yet. so maybe, maybe big mike, big mike's gonna. >> big mike's gonna be ripping the t shirt off at the democrat conference, busting the guns out. hulk hogan's behind michelle obama. >> i get shoulders like that. it's a completely different candidate who have this big mic that you're talking about. michelle obama is currently the second favourite after after. this is extraordinary . and the this is extraordinary. and the olympics are but could be the candidate. yeah. and like, kamala is now 2 to 1, right? i'm feeling guilty because i had mates who had gavin newsom from a year ago , and he'd come in a year ago, and he'd come in

from 50 to 1 to 8 to 1, and i was saying i'd hold on to that. that's looking good. well he's gone now. things happen very fast. >> i don't fancy her chances against, harris's chances against, harris's chances against trump. i mean, surely it's michelle's the only one. surely that would have the charisma and the name and the glamour, just to be slightly kind of devil's advocate, i do think kamala harris has a certain amount of. >> i mean, it will appeal to different people differently, but she has a certain kind of like relative vitality compared to trump is an old man. i know he has that kind of twitters covered in all these amazing words. >> salad? yes, possibly slightly worse than biden. i don't fancy that in a debate. >> it is odd how we've never we see a lot of her doing that kind of, we're not going to get on to any other paper, are we? could we see a lot of her doing that kind of time? is the surrounding of everything that we have. and that was and that will be been. >> yeah, it will be. >> yeah, it will be. >> and tomorrow was yesterday. three days ago. and all that business you would that's understandable that you would clip those things to kind of besmirch her reputation. but

i've never seen the opposite. i've never seen the opposite. i've never seen any evidence . do i've never seen any evidence. do you know what i mean? you would think occasionally you would run into her even from a teleprompter. yeah. you know. well, she must be quite smart because she knew exactly who to, you know, get on her knees. and it does. that's true. it does remind me of when i used to work on the big breakfast 20 years ago and had to write, like, the zig and zag stuff. yeah. for johnny vaughan, who was brilliant, the johnny vaughan was a fantastic news presenter, and for a while they had kelly brook on as the host after denise van outen and i got her sacked unintentionally because i wrote a link for her and she couldn't say it, she it was just, it was it was a slightly kind of reversed word order of links and i can well believe it. and the next day there was a staff meeting for all the writers saying, listen , you're writers saying, listen, you're not to give kelly brook curveballs like that anymore. and, and, and news of that meeting got leaked and was in the sun and off the back of that, she she she left and she went to hollywood and became famous and so maybe i can do that for camilla, let's have a look very quickly at the cover

of the time, times, not the time magazine. so the times has, has kamala harris as well, also looking annoying. and it also has this story. britain's no longer think honesty is the best policy . so britain is growing policy. so britain is growing increasingly tolerant of fraud and theft and a trend that's a trend that will cost the benefit system an extra £2 billion this yeah system an extra £2 billion this year. the government has claimed, so benefit fraud is likely to rise by 5% a year. and i guess this is going to be ongoing and about 7.4 billion a yearis ongoing and about 7.4 billion a year is lost to benefit fraud already. and this is tolerant of fraud, their own fraud. you know , fraud, their own fraud. you know, claiming benefits that they're not entitled to and also tolerant of fraud and others. and this is the breakdown of a sort of high trust society is we've got this neoliberal, fragmented communities and mass migration and multiculturalism. so, you know , we're not seeing so, you know, we're not seeing these, you know, these bonds of communities that, you know, hold everybody in line that's going, i think you're really right. and i think you're really right. and i think you're really right. and i think it's a great shame i even remember it. i mean, maybe, like sentimentally, but from my childhood, a much stronger sense that you knew, like, whether

people on the street were ill or well or needed some help or care or whatever. yeah, yeah. as soon as people don't know their neighbours, that immediately creates the sense that you're just in a rat run, right? yeah. war of all against all. and of course, you get lots of propaganda to tell you that it's actually a wonderful thing. yeah, yeah. >> i've also seen some stories about this in the news of late. >> you know, there's been a lot of this guy was a bodybuilder and he was claiming benefits because it makes a great headline. >> but they used to have a thing i remember, like reading examples of this in the days everyone imagines before the welfare state, people just used to put their back out, couldn't work, starve and die. but it wasn't like that. there were all kinds of benevolent societies within organisations. they might be local, they might be industry specific or whatever. but the point was, if you knew a bloke was off work with a bad back and you walked past his garden and he was digging it, yeah, you were like, alf, i thought you said you weren't. you know what i mean? we're all chipping in so that you can. yeah, you know what i mean? and grown up and grown up in scotland. i mean, like, the benefit system was seen as a career, you know, working out how to claim it and

let the garden comes out and was like, well, actually only 2% of benefits claimants are fraudulent. it's only 2. i must have known every single one of them. no well, then you're into conspiracy theories now , the conspiracy theories now, the daily mail. please consider very quickly, new labour opens door to giving a silent a 70,000 people. >> that's great, isn't it? i think it was 90,000 a few days ago. i've been reading different numbers, tens of thousands of illegal migrants will get asylum in the uk after yvette cooper scrapped the rwanda scheme . so scrapped the rwanda scheme. so it looks like labour are planning to do a bit of like. well reapply again even though you came here illegally and i'm not calling this figures massaging, but they're going to if they quickly give people asylum then then the numbers are down. >> you've got to either give them asylum or get shot of them. you can't have them bunging up hotels and just in limbo for ages. that is inhumane. and also, of course, it's completely unhealthy for the point of view of the, you know, the localities that they're in. yeah, i think to be fair, at this point, that they're in. yeah, i think to be fair, at this point , this to be fair, at this point, this is really them kind of just trying to clear their desk of the tories mess, which is they what created it. they're also danang what created it. they're also dangling a carrot for more

people to come over. they gave 70,000 asylum seekers, kind of working compromise. oh well that's the front pages covered in part two. we've got the truth behind the trump assassination. kamala harris laughing maniacally once again and a threat to democracy. although, surprisingly, those aren't all the same

and welcome back to headliners with me, simon evans. and i'm joined by chris oder die higher. wetton and leo ed spokesperson curse is that erectile dysfunction ? i don't know what dysfunction? i don't know what it is. i assume you're one of the people who laid into, into cheetah or whatever. cheetah. kimberley cheetah today. have you been watching that that makes extraordinary sense. i don't know if they're coming out, so i shouldn't anticipate it anyway. mace. she was the best one. did you see mace? oh,

yeah. unrepeatable >> himars. i don't know if we can show allowed to speak like that. >> well, she did anyway. chris did we start with our own? nigel's acerbic assessments in the telegraph of the developments across the pond, >> farage, it would be potty to vote for kamala harris simply because she's a woman. so reform leader accuses joe biden's wife, jill, of elder abuse and says he should never have been in the white house in the first place. this is just like farages kind of thoughts today. yeah, and he's he's talking about i watched ray addison earlier out and about doing a news report from crawley in the uk, and he was interviewing people to find out if the brits kind of know who kamala harris is. and there were so many people saying, well, it would be nice to have a woman and he'd say, why is that? >> and they couldn't. they didn't care. >> it was just like his last words. yeah, it'd be nice to have some visigoths in the city. >> i mean, to be fair, i would sooner have a woman president probably than a woman. a woman's secret service . yeah. you know, secret service. yeah. you know, offering close protection. i mean , that it is probably a job mean, that it is probably a job is if you had both. i've seen

meryl streep play a woman quite plausibly on in a movie, a woman president. not a woman . president. not a woman. >> you've just been really, really catty . really catty. >> i don't know how she did. it must have been pretty. i mean, when we've seen, we've seen a number of female leaders. obviously in europe, it is odd that america is lagging behind because they're supposed. but thatis because they're supposed. but that is the weird dichotomy with america. on the one hand, they're supposed to have swept away all the old ancien regime inherited, you know, wealth and power and so on. in reality , as power and so on. in reality, as a left wing commentator said on twitter today, this will be the first presidential election in 48 years not to feature either a bush, a clinton or joe biden. bush, a clinton orjoe biden. wow 48 years. very nearly my aduu wow 48 years. very nearly my adult lifetime, in fact. yes, my entire adult lifetime , because, entire adult lifetime, because, george bush junior was not the senior brother was was, veep for reagan. yeah. so, you know, i mean, they have and in that regard as well, they are

extraordinarily conservative. it's weird, but they are their clubs are more conservative. >> well, so some people are saying that's a vote for kamala harris because people are going to go for purely because it'd be nice to have a woman. yeah, but but farage, of course , is saying but farage, of course, is saying he says, well, she's she's got a better chance of victory than joe biden on paper until the pubhc joe biden on paper until the public actually see her. yeah well, this is the problem with dei, isn't it? there's nothing wrong with having a black or a woman or whatever, but they've got to be able to. >> and you can't argue against it because it was quite blatantly made by him at that point. he was urged to hire a black woman and he said, yes, okay, well, let's do that. >> then they make a song and dance of it so that everybody knows exactly, let it happen organically because other people have said, yeah, she was a state, you know, or a california district attorney and she's been a senator and so on. a senator and $0 on. >> a senator and so on. >> she has much more relevant experience than trump had the first time around. this time around, you could say, well, he's obviously had he's been actual president. but yeah , but actual president. but yeah, but there are people there are a lot of people in american political life who give the appearance of having risen to. she's not alone

in this. yeah and yet she seems to have only the kind of folksy wisdom that you would ascribe to her. i don't know, like a, you know, a youth leader or something. she's incredibly good at hiding her talents. it's it really is incredible. and she's sort of representative of this left wing embrace of woke ideology. so dei critical race theory, gender ideology . and i theory, gender ideology. and i think what really gets your regular person's back up about it is it's inherently racist. the left are racist because they're judging people specifically on their identity, on their demographics, whether they're straight or gay or black or white or whatever it is. whereas i think on the right, you know, you see, margaret thatcher rose to become, you know, possibly the greatest conservative leader of, you know, certainly of modern times . know, certainly of modern times. and, you know, it wasn't because she's a woman. it was she did have to overcome some prejudice of course, but, but once she was in, she was in. yeah. anyway leo, donald trump's even more acerbic assessment of what's really going on in the white house as well. even worse than farage. yeah. so donald trump

claims that joe biden doesn't have covid and says he's a threat to democracy. as biden ends his re—election bid. so donald trump tweeted on, well , donald trump tweeted on, well, posted on truth social, which is his version of twitter. i think he's the he's the only person who really messaged on it . but who really messaged on it. but he says biden never had covid. he's a threat to democracy. does anybody really believe that crooked joe had covid? he wanted to get out. ever since june, the 27th, the night of the debate, where he was completely obliterated by donald ofsted, so this is interesting. this is you know, this has been smeared as a as a far right conspiracy. like, but, you know, like biden being senile that turned out to be. absolutely. i mean, it would certainly be. it'd be a stretch if they actually made up covid to explain, but it wouldn't surprise me if they created some sort of cover, like a blanket to wheel him off in. yeah, and who hasn't pretended to have covid? it's not that hard, is it? exactly. the question is, you know, did he go i mean, was he struggling? that is the question, isn't it ? because i

question, isn't it? because i think there was a lot of indication that he was just not ready to go. yeah. and the democratic establishment decided to use what almost amounted to force. yeah. and it's incredible. he couldn't do that before because there was obviously a lot of people in the party wanted that to happen. and in fact, biden i think, originally said he was just going to be a one term president. and, you know. yeah. restore order. yeah, yeah, yeah. so it's i mean, obviously once you're in power, nobody ever really wants to let go of it. do you remember, i remember there's george the third. you remember george? george the third. the only reason i know it, i think it's quoted in hamilton, the movie. i think that's where i learned about it, he said if george washington willingly gives up power after two terms or whatever it is, he will be the greatest man that ever lived. and of course he did, right? yeah. and that was the point at which, you know, george third had to go. yeah. okay. fair play. yeah. but they didn't have it as a legal requirement initially. right but yeah, washington stood down. it'll be interesting to see if trump goes back to these sort of emotive, abrasive attacks on kamala and on other people, because i think

that i think that what has happened here. yes. straight away, i mean, he has kwasi he had a bit of a wobble and then he had a cup of tea and a twix. he needs to get shot in the head every two days to become they again. quoting but churchill's line, you know, there is no greater thrill in life than to be shot at without result. yes daily mail cressida kimberley title is under fire with result hopefully for very incompetence at least i mean extraordinary. >> no secret service director kimberly churchill doubles down on bizarre reason why agents weren't stationed where gunmen opened fire on trump. so she's saying that they like a sterile rooftop? yeah. i mean, yes, of course, but we wanted it to be sterile for the whole day. that was the idea . sterile for the whole day. that was the idea. i sterile for the whole day. that was the idea . i totally get it. was the idea. i totally get it. i when i was the idea. i totally get it. iwhen i lived was the idea. i totally get it. i when i lived on my boat, i painted all the ceilings white. so if there was a spider, i could see it. and then deal with it. >> wow. >> wow. >> yeah. it's brilliant. you know, immediately what's there. so i get the sterile roof thing, but you've then got to act on it, haven't you? because it

wasn't sterile all day. >> i mean, she used. the weird thing is she's accepted responsibility. she's acknowledged it's the greatest failure of the service in decades. failure of the service in decades . she said the buck stops decades. she said the buck stops with me . so they even should. with me. so they even should. >> should you ? >> should you? >> should you? >> not that they said if he had been successful, if trump had been successful, if trump had been killed, would you have stepped down? and she still wouldn't answer the question? >> it's like that day to day sketch where it's like, you know, in 1990, nothing happened. in 19. nobody drowns . in 2024, in 19. nobody drowns. in 2024, a man was shot in the head like , man was shot in the head like, but it's, you know, there is this focus on die. there's been a lot of deflecting people saying it's misogynous to say that, you know, it was it was because when i think there is, the focus on die is not about hiring women or anything like that. it's the fact that die in itself draws attention away from core business. so instead of kimberly cheadle worrying about doing her job, she's worrying doing herjob, she's worrying about hitting targets for female hires and all the rest of it.

and that's that's where it is. it's almost a sort of corporate corporatocracy, if that's a word , corporatocracy, if that's a word, because she's not a secret service, you know , expert who's service, you know, expert who's risen up through the ranks. she came from, like pepsico or something. so she's a she's a she's an executive. she's just a corporate executive, you know, treating it like that. well, there is a lot of that. you know, i think that goes across a huge range, not just the secret service and government, but everything now has so many multiple, multiple considerations. the dea is one of them. obviously, net zero is a similar thing. there's so much confusion. free market capitalism works pretty well when all you're trying to do is provide value for shareholders. yeah. you know, if you know that's what your aims are, then you really focuses the mind tremendously. well, you know, and you let adam smith take care of the rest of it. but we're not allowed to do that anymore with, nick dear's all around. so that's part two. all done in part three. we've got a boxing burka bust up, jeremy vine falls further in our collective estimation. and the n word can you say no, obviously you

cannot. so we will be skirting

welcome back to headliners. leo, a riddle which jabs are banned in women's boxing. so, france has banned hijabs at the paris olympics as boxer hits out at the rule. so this is australian muslim boxer tina rahimi, who wears a full hijab during bouts. i don't know how that works. i mean , how is full? is that. mean, how is full? is that. >> no, no, no, not a niqab like she can see she can get. >> is it like she used to walk ten paces behind her opponent? >> and is it just like a sort of like a full on swimming, you know , just like an elasticated. know, just like an elasticated. >> sometimes you see muslim ladies jogging in them. yeah. the whole face of that. >> i've seen muslim women in the gym wearing like a full on, like, you know, the full on robe, but it won't be across. you're going to get dragged in at the dragged into the exercise

bike in a moment. well, that's what i think in boxing as well. it's going to sort of like is he going? yeah. and you can send a man a drag. also, how can a boxer wear something that covers the head? because that's going to provide some form of protection or certainly, you know, it's going to change, you know, it's going to change, you know, the where you're aiming at and just the whole% this isn't the reason though, right? this is france. and they say it's a secular thing, isn't it? yes. so, so other countries are allowed to participate in their hijabs. so she's, she says the australian muslim boxer says thankfully i'm still able to participate in my hijab, which i'm so grateful for. but it's so unfortunate for the athletes in france because there's nothing to do with their performance. it's not get in the way of you being an athlete. so the french athletes, because france is a secular country or ostensibly a secular country or ostensibly a secular country, they've banned the hijab for the french athletes. and i think hijabs are banned. are they banned in france or are they certainly had that discussion? >> it depends what you're doing. there's religious, garb of all kinds. if you're in public office, things like that. i think that's the point. you're supposed to be being french at that point before you're anything else. >> and weirdly, amnesty international, the human rights,

human rights pressure group have come out and said, you know, women need to be allowed to wear hijabs, you know, because it's their choice. and it's like, well, if it's their choice, how come it's only women from one particular culture are choosing to be a fairly unanimous choice? but that's the weird. i mean, that's the kind of, what can you call it ? like the incoherence, call it? like the incoherence, the cognitive dissonance in religion and everything, isn't it? everyone thinks that they are making a free choice. you know, it's just weird. you very rarely get jewish kids growing up in hindu families and stuff. you know, it just seems to work out that way. cressida, a sad story of cricketing castration in one of my local clubs as well in one of my local clubs as well in the telegraph cricket club, bans hitting sixes to save on insurance claims. >> so it's 2024. success is out, failure is in, you're not allowed to get a six in this cricket club. >> 2024 would be a terrible score for a two innings match as well. i don't get that joke. >> so this is since 1790, and apparently all the people around are delighted that these six

well, not all of some of the people have been delighted. if you hit a six, i learn that means the ball goes a long way. yeah. and this is a small place sounding like kamala harris now. >> thank you very much . cricket >> thank you very much. cricket is a game . is a game. >> so this is it. we're not allowed to. >> i mean, these houses and gardens and what have you. and a road, to be fair as well, have been they've arrived since the cricket ground was there. if you plonked a cricket ground in the middle of a suburban housing estate and then started breaking windows, that would be one thing. i think the people who move there probably enjoy some of the sort of reflected, you know , rural, the glory of or, know, rural, the glory of or, you know, even burnish of it, stick of cricket, you know . stick of cricket, you know. yeah, exactly. they should put up with the occasional broken window pane cricket club. >> i've been paying all the fees, and every time there's a broken window, they saw, well, that's what they say. >> i think they should just let the batsman pay. that would be the batsman pay. that would be the obvious thing, right? you take a risk if you hit it out, you're also. there'll be more careful about where they hit it.

yeah. you try and hit that chimney instead of that window. that's just want to take it off the paintwork, but not destroy the paintwork, but not destroy the wing mirror. yeah. and fairness to the cricket club. so apparently modern bats are a lot more dynamic. i don't know what sort of willow or whatever it is they're using to, to, to create them with, but apparently the far more dynamics that are hitting a lot more sixes than they used to used to be, just like you get one for. yeah, in a don bradman. i don't know if i think they famously didn't score a six in his entire career, but always play because of course the sixes, you take the risk of being caught out. yeah. but that is interesting. so the bats are more a bit like tennis rackets. isuppose more a bit like tennis rackets. i suppose that would happen, wouldn't it? they use roughly the same sort of technology that they do for bows, i think in archery, you know, it's that kind of, tensile. yeah. spring. i'll have to look into that independent now, leo. and a black woman has been charged for using a word in a tweet. very possibly being listening to a black woman rapping it on her radio at the same moment. so, yeah. radio at the same moment. so, yeah . so a black woman has been yeah. so a black woman has been charged by the police after

using the n word on social media. i think we know what word it is, and i think we know a lot of people are now saying it in their heads now that we've said their heads now that we've said the n word, but we never say the actual word, we just say the word that makes you say it in your head. you're saying we were saying earlier that we should call it the p word with a silent p, call it the p word with a silent p, so it's to stop people having to hear it in their heads. yeah. so just when people think it's the other, it's the other word. the other bad word. that's right. so but yeah, this this charge relates to a post on twitter or x about sweden and newcastle footballer alexander isak. so jamila abdi, 21, was having a discussion about a football match on on x, and used the n word to refer to this footballer. she said, i'm so peed off. let me get my hands on that f n, and that's what i mean. it's not, it's not, it's not nice language, but, i mean, it's weird for it to be, to be a criminal offence, particularly as she's black. the person she was talking to was black. i mean, i understand it's public and stuff, and, you know, you

hear this word, you hear on the bbc, you hear it in rap music. it's you know, i thought that was the rule. you were the black people were allowed to use it. and we one would not dispute that rule because even though it's obviously ridiculous and incoherent to dispute it gives the impression that you feel depnved the impression that you feel deprived of the right to use it and you would otherwise like to. and i don't want to give that impression, nor is that the correct impression. you know , i correct impression. you know, i don't even sound it out in my head, but this seems to be like in in, contravention of that idea as well. right. is that. yeah. yeah yeah. >> well, it's ongoing, isn't it? but, yeah, it's , it's more but, yeah, it's, it's more likely that prosecution is required if the offence was motivated by any form of prejudice and that's highly unlikely, isn't it, in this case, yeah. because as you said, everybody involved is shares the same characteristics. you could have internalised whiteness. well, she could . that's a very well, she could. that's a very good point. i hadn't thought of that. but roughly speaking, i think i'd rather see the police out and about looking at burglars. >> yes, that might be an interesting development . interesting development. cressida, we have boffin news

now, and we've all learned to take my space research with a pinch of salt. but the guardian have a new wrinkle on that. >> why sex bias in labs means women are the losers in research into ageing, so it turns out that all the research into these anti—aging things, it's all on male mice. it doesn't say why male mice. it doesn't say why male mice? i would have thought if you had a box of mice, the women are kept for the, milking . women are kept for the, milking. >> it's like. it's like the dairy trade. the young male mice are taken off to the labs and the women just carry on. there you go. if they're anything like gerbils, which are also used in labs a lot, in fact , that's labs a lot, in fact, that's i think originally they were used in labs before they became pets. people realised they're so friendly that they make excellent pets . so the male ones excellent pets. so the male ones are larger and they're also more they're less skittish than the female ones. so it's maybe the red pill that as well though, isn't it? oh, it's always the male rats that end up getting the poison because they, they have. the poison because they, they have . no. yeah, apparently. have. no. yeah, apparently. yeah. we got to remember this isn't a good thing for the male

mice. this is the ones that locked up and experimented on. but what they're saying is then that they're going to discover or you're or possibly miss possible cures for ageing. >> yes. because they're saying won't apply to women. and broadly, it could be all sorts of medical things because i'm amazed they haven't gone for race, because i bet their white mice as well, aren't they ? mice as well, aren't they? >> oh god. anyway, telegraph there we go. squeeze this one in. not the most annoying remark of her. jeremy mind. jeremy mind. jeremy vine make. at least he doesn't have any taxis contravening the highway code in it. so jeremy vine has been criticised over a social media post about the biden family's fatal car crash. he used the n word no, he didn't. other stories this is the radio presenter compares the president's decision to quit the us election race with the deaths of his wife and daughter in a 1972 accident. so writing on twitter or x and including the pictures, jeremy vine oh, he's got the pictures as well. i mean, he's in hospital. i mean, this is weird. so what you said was a bad day forjoe biden, but

this 1 in 1972 must have been worse. soon after he was first elected, delaware senator, a car crash killed his wife and infant daughter and badly hurt his two sons. he was sworn in at their bedside in hospital. i mean, that's a weird thing to it's such a weird connection. i assume vine is trying to say, look at the span of this man's political career. he's been around forever. he showed extraordinary fortitude and command of his emotions to be sworn in as senator in this horrible. i assume that's the message, but none of that comes across. it just seems plain ghoulish. >> you should write his tweets for him, because the way this is going, he's just his only option is, oh, sorry, i was hacked. or possibly we're going to see like a mental health issue coming out in the next few days. it's really weird. >> he's going to do a biden. he's going to say, i've got covid, i've stand down. i'll tell you what i think is actually going on. like to be a bit freudian about it. i think vine is trying to demonstrate his own grasp and reach and span of political acumen that he himself knows and remembers and had that, you know, available to

him to think, oh my goodness, i remember, you know, he's trying to demonstrate that he's a real player just because he's on radio two and mainly seen arguing in a fisheye lens with a delivery dispatch driver . he's delivery dispatch driver. he's hoping to get back on panorama . hoping to get back on panorama. anyway, that's the three quarters. dan, just one more to come, the rspca take on gen z chimpanzees get chatting. and why it's acceptable to shoplift if you're suitably middle class. posh totty

and welcome back to headliners for the final quarter, where things get a little wacky on occasion. crested at the daily mail. have the latest outrage committed by the real threat to society. posh totty . society. posh totty. >> rise of the posh totty. shoplifters. organic food chain security boss claims brazen middle class customers feel

entitled to steal because they're regulars who spend a lot of money. that seems very reasonable to me. yeah, so this guy, l reasonable to me. yeah, so this guy, i mean, there's a bit of projection going on here because i don't think he's interviewed them and got this feedback. they haven't said this themselves. but richard fowler, who manages a security and up—market at an up—market health food brand , up—market health food brand, planet organic, said shoplifting at the chiswick branch takes place every day and he divides it. he says we've got , we've got it. he says we've got, we've got the problem of the homeless people, as if that's half the problem . and the other half is problem. and the other half is middle class people. and because they spend so much money, they think they're entitled to take stuff. >> but he rac has no idea, does he? i mean, if he knew that's who it was, then he would stop them. yeah. and also, he's making up that that motive in his, in his head that could i mean, i occasionally shoplift when it's justified because sometimes you go to the shops and like this happens a lot. they do reverse shoplifting on you.so they do reverse shoplifting on you. so something's supposed to be on offer or whatever. and it goes through at full price. and i'm not going to go and queue up and say, oh, can you get the £0.40? >> no. >> no. >> you put the other one in.

yeah. just like supermarket sweep. i'm like. >> so middle class now i had a mate. >> this is true. i don't know if i should say this, but he genuinely did this . he would. he genuinely did this. he would. he removed barcode from a cheap bottle of wine and would just surreptitiously palm it onto an expensive bottle of wine and then scan it and put it in. and of course , they would still have of course, they would still have to come and clear it for age. yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there are all barcodes at home with them. it's appeared to be trying to buy mammoth steaks. ashlee good. anyway, the inevitable next stage in the pathological trend of the fur baby now in the mail. so the rspca has slammed the gen z or gen z. if you're american social media trend of putting cats on leads and taking them for a walk . so a number of them for a walk. so a number of tiktok users have recently posted videos of themselves taking their cats out for walks, while the animal wears a harness and a lead, and owners apparently fear that the animal will get injured if they allow

them to roam free. but animal experts say that this can actually stress out the cat because the collar takes away a cat's control. and i've heard people say this about dogs as well. obviously it's, you know, happens a lot with with dogs, but dogs are more likely to fight if they're on a lead because they, they don't feel safe. they don't feel that they can get away. well, that's interesting that you say they don't feel safe. there's lots of videos and it's quite comical. you know, when two dogs who feel that they're restrained. >> yes , go at each other and >> yes, go at each other and then as soon exactly. >> and then they're like, oh, no, i wasn't. i >> and then they're like, oh, no, iwasn't. i mean, i have a dog, i wasn't. i mean, i have a dog, i wasn't. i mean, i have a dog, ihave i wasn't. i mean, i have a dog, i have a big golden retriever, and he's very gentle. but occasionally another dog's aggression will arouse that in him. and it can all happen incredibly quickly. you know, they're playing a little bit and then suddenly whoosh and you've got to dive in and get them off. but you know, you have them in a harness but release them. >> yeah . but that never happens >> yeah. but that never happens with cats. this is just stupid. this is just this is just people that can't afford a house and have a baby and all the kind of real life milestones making it up, which is very sad. >> i think cats are a little bit

like bowling shoes, you know, it shouldn't be really seen out. you shouldn't be seen outdoors with them. you know, such a big money—maker the humanisation of pets is massive, so why wouldn't you make cat harnesses? >> and then tell people they need them? yeah, yeah. no, i'm very cynical. i have a matching harness on your end as well. >> there's some people go jogging >> there's some people go jogging with their dogs on. sort of like belted harnesses and an extended lead. and all this. you're right. it is a bit sad. it is. it's. you know, i think a pet is a great thing, but, i mean, we've got a cat and a dog. i've encountered our cat occasionally on the street, like 3 or 4 doors away from my house, andifs 3 or 4 doors away from my house, and it's always really awkward . and it's always really awkward. neither of us want to say it's like meeting your teacher in a pub, you know , cressida studies pub, you know, cressida studies at saint andrews in chimpanzee conversations, they suggest they're vastly more constructive and mutually respectful than a lot of the ones i have come to enjoy at home are amazing similarities between chimpanzee and human conversations. >> study, it's just so funny,

isn't it? we all work with lewis, but chimpanzees in the wild take it in turns to speak. we should get them in for a training session for headliners. yeah do it during conversations in the same way humans do. not the ones i know. so it turns out there's these breaks in commas are tiny in human conversations, like a fifth of a second chimpanzees. it varies, but the point is they still have these breaks and they take in information and surprise, surprise, we're related. >> i would be really interested to know whether chimps have an innate sense of when the other chimp has talked enough, and it's chimp has talked enough, and wsfime chimp has talked enough, and it's time for me to, because i get that very strongly and i don't think i'm alone. do you know what i mean? that kind of. yes. i've been meaning to speak to you about. i always want to say, i want to see the dialogue on the page. >> if you've gone over a whole page, you know , i don't know. page, you know, i don't know. >> do you think we're like chimps or is this. yeah. i think as long as you're not throwing your faeces at the other person. yeah, well, that only happens in captivity as well. oh, really? when they're on a lead and not just faeces, of course. the other stuff. yeah. that's,

that's another thing. they only do in captivity. >> well there's more variation in the chimps than us. apparently it's from something like an eighth of a second, up to several seconds. oh, i thought you meant genetically or whatever within the chimp family. that as well. >> i imagine the other thing about chimps is they're famously ripped. right. somebody posted a picture of them without their hair. it's not so much the, the size of the muscles, but they're tethered to the to the bone further along. so the lever is much more powerful. so that's always got to be hanging over any conversation, haven't they? oh, they can rip you apart. >> rip you apart, >> rip you apart, >> finally , leo, a think piece >> finally, leo, a think piece in the paper. i actually do think i can relate to the death of holidays. you've got about 30s.so of holidays. you've got about 30s. so whatever happened to the do nothing switch off holiday? apparently people are going on a hohday apparently people are going on a holiday and they have ipads on the table. they're making taking work calls, and they're talking about spreadsheets and frowning at their phones so people aren't having a proper break. they're still working on holiday, which i plan to do on holiday. yeah. you are going to work on holiday or you're going to take it off here. what do you do, chris? >> well, it's all mixed in,

isn't it? what's up? everybody knows if you've been on, you can't ignore it. they can see when you're there. terrible. why do we have whatsapp? get rid of that. >> i can't relax if i haven't worked. yeah, i know what you mean. i find the most relaxing thing is to be engaged in constructive work, not to be badgered, you know, by superiors. that's the difference. >> you haven't got any superiors. >> so the show is nearly over. let's take another quick look at tuesday's front pages. the daily mail now. labour opens door to giving asylum to 70,000. the guardian senior democrats throw weight behind harris to take on trump. the times donor dollars pourin trump. the times donor dollars pour in as harris promises victory. the express farage more tory mps will soon defect to reform. the i news has camera as the anointed and finally, the daily star asparagus psychic. next president will be michelle obama. those who have front pages and that's all we have time for tonight. thank you to my guests cressida and leo. we're back tomorrow at 11 pm. with some other people. i'm not

sure who, but if you've been watching at 5 am, stay tuned for breakfast. otherwise, thank you very much for your company. good night. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news >> good evening. here's your latest gb news. weather forecast coming to you from the met office. for many tomorrow looks like it's going to be a bit dner like it's going to be a bit drier and a bit sunnier with that two. that being said , there that two. that being said, there will be some showery rain around most of today's showers are clearing away towards the east as we go overnight, but there is another system coming into the west and the southwest and we are going to see further outbreaks of rain, which could be heavy, pushing across parts of wales and also southwest england. as we go overnight elsewhere, apart from a few showers towards the east northeast, it's going to be largely dry and there will be some clear skies around, but for many another warm night temperatures are particularly in the towns and cities, holding up in the mid—teens celsius. some outbreaks of rain. then first thing could be quite heavy

across some southern parts. first of all, originally around a central southern parts, but the heavier bursts are going to push their way eastwards through the morning before clearing away elsewhere across much of england and wales, a few showery bursts, but also some decent bright sunny weather. first thing largely fine and sunny across northern ireland and many parts of northern england . across of northern england. across scotland. a bit of a west/east split around eastern areas. it's going to be a bit cloudier. a few outbreaks of rain here likely to be dry at, brighter across more central and western parts of scotland through the day. then we are going to see a scattering of showers here or there. many places will actually avoid the showers and stay largely dry, but a few showers are possible and they could be a little bit on the heavy side though i'm not expecting any thunder like we've seen through today. with a bit more sunshine around, temperatures are going to be a bit higher than they have been lately. temperatures reaching highs of around 2425 celsius, possibly even 26 celsius. any showers will die out as we go through tomorrow night into wednesday and wednesday. looks like it will start mostly dry. we can expect

some showery rain pushing its way through across parts of scotland, and perhaps some showers kicking off over eastern parts of england. but elsewhere it's looking largely fine yet again before some very wet weather pushes in, particularly across southern parts. as we go through thursday. see you later. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers . sponsors of boxt boilers. sponsors of weather on gb
