2:06 am
coming out, getting nervous. >> it's just freak me out. let's take a look at the front pages. >> they are obviously covered in the atrocity that we're all familiar with by now. knifeman kills two children in holiday club horror that's on the telegraph. the times knife attack on children was like a horror movie . the daily mail two horror movie. the daily mail two children dead in holiday club carnage. the guardian two children dead and nine injured in ferocious attack at dance class. the metro tv hue kid porn charge and the daily star carnage at the kids club. those were your very sad front pages. so josh, let's take the daily mail first. >> yeah, two children dead in houday >> yeah, two children dead in holiday club carnage , this has holiday club carnage, this has been the story that's been developing through the day, >> and just getting more and more horrific. >> you know, a lot of
2:07 am
speculation online. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> that's it. it's like people coming up with theories and this i think i think it's partly people say, oh, people using it for their own political ends. >> but i think it's also people. it's so horrific that you just don't want it to happen again. and whatever. however, whatever prevention that would allow it. yeah. to not happen again. like i think people feel so out of control. it's the only way to try to regain some. >> and there is also, i think , >> and there is also, i think, some sense in the media that some sense in the media that some of the media is perhaps overcompensating for that and trying to suppress that and not being entirely honest with people there was a bizarre bbc report. at least i saw it online, so it could conceivably have been faked up. but it was extraordinary if it did, in which they said, when was the last mass stabbing of children? and they said dunblane, which i can't imagine anyone remembers. dunblane as anything other than a mass shooting. it's the single most famous mass shooting. it's a kind of weird, you know, almost as if they're trying to reach for something that would
2:08 am
take the heat out of the suspected immigrant refugee asylum seeker kind of narrative, which is bubbling under until we until we get some facts, you know what i mean? they try and swing it too far the other way. yeah. and obviously, you know, until we know the motive or until we know the motive or until we know what was if there even was a motive, what the cause was, people will look to that. but the trouble is, even talking about it, you, can get in a lot of trouble. you can be accused. >> anybody who who complains about it is running the risk of being, you know, decried as some sort of bigot and, you know, being cancelled. so you can't even you can't even discuss it. i can't say the things that i want to say because i'll be accused of being a bigot. >> i mean, at this point, we know very little, a certain amount of the lad's identity are 17 year old who is believed to have been born in cardiff to, i think, rwandan parents, but there's no suggestion of any sort of terror cell or anything of that kind. and obviously i mean, i say obviously, but to my mind it just feels like an outbreak of absolute psychotic .
2:09 am
outbreak of absolute psychotic. well, it's, it's evil. yeah. i mean, it's that's it. well, it's, it's evil. yeah. i mean, it's that's it . that's how mean, it's that's it. that's how it feels. right. >> and anyone any parents i mean, it's just it's like you almost don't want to empathise. >> you know, people are people are quick to jump on possible causes when it's, you know, they say it could be andrew tate or, you know , something like that. you know, something like that. he's coming up later. there was a, i think we'll probably be looking at it, but in relation with the huw edwards thing, i'll come back to that. you've got something else on the guardian, perhaps, so the guardian has reeves axed to plug £22 billion black hole covered up by the tories? i mean, she says, covered up. but, as opposition, as the opposition, they would have have had access to the same financial documents. so they knew it's just, you know, they want to make excuses because they're politicians. >> and so they're going to raid 10 million pensioners. >> and apparently tax hikes are coming as well. so she's stripping most oaps of winter fuel payments , and she hands
2:10 am
fuel payments, and she hands junior doctors a 22% pay raise. >> she says she's defended limiting winter fuel payments to only to only those on benefits while hiking. >> junior doctors pay because you're going to need those doctors when your fingers fall off because of frostbite . so off because of frostbite. so i mean, there is a do sort of agree with this, and i think it's quite an almost tory thing to do, because a lot of wealth is concentrated in the oldest and the older generation and pensioners, and they get , you pensioners, and they get, you know, a lot of breaks and they get benefits and stuff that not all of them need. but then, you know, it is it is harsh to take away winter fuel payments from old people. that's kind of a bad look for a for a supposedly left wing government also. i mean, this is going to get a lot worse by 2029. the public sector pensions will be a massive tombstone millstone around the government's neck. it's going to be, you know, over £50 billion. apparently, they're not going to be able to finance it. so there's going to they're going to either have to slash public sector pensions or do something radical. i do agree with you
2:11 am
about the sort of general broad brush stroke sympathy for old people. some old people are fine. some old people have got plenty of money. some old people have got plenty of money tied up in the house, which may not be easy for them to pay. fuel bills will. there isn't like a one size fits all. and yet obviously means testing. sort of feels a little bit, you know , unpleasant little bit, you know, unpleasant and undignified. but given that everything is tightening up across the board, pensioners have been largely protected, haven't they? i think certainly the ones i think there's a certain there's like an age cut—off is there. i think everyone over 80 continues to get it. is that right? and you know, i don't know. and pensions were initially, you know, when they were invented, they kept you alive for a few years till you alive for a few years till you died. yeah. but now people are living, you know, a lot longer your life. yeah, absolutely. >> so i just want to disagree with leo on one thing. >> not that i'm massively fans of labour at the moment, but, as it has been pointed out, the obr is basically said that they are now, they've written to chancellor saying that they're
2:12 am
reviewing whether they were misled about their public finances at the last budget. so it seems like labour weren't given, actually all of that information at all. she's come out. and when jeremy hunt tried to say exactly this, she said there are very clear instances of specific budgets that were overspend or underfunded promises that were made. >> so, that certainly seems to be true on the, the ukrainian, aid, i think. >> well, she says there's a massive 6.4 billion overspend on the asylum system. so that was thatis the asylum system. so that was that is part overspend. >> how much is how much is the spend. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> but that's i mean that's the overspend on the asylum thing. >> rishi wanted to stop. >> rishi wanted to stop. >> rishi wanted to stop. >> rishi wanted to reduce the amount of asylum seekers. >> labour were pushing to have more. >> whether they knew it's like it's like lockdown, they're like, oh, the government spent so much in lockdown. >> it's like you would have spent ten times as much. >> that's a different argument. i'm talking about whether they knew or they not. >> they knew. the obr is in labour's pocket. so you know they're obviously okay. >> but you know what? there are some other things coming up. they're saying that they're not going to increase income tax or national insurance or vat. that
2:13 am
sounds good. but then they're talking about now, you know, we've had this £0.05, hold on the, on the petrol that's going to probably go. so that's going to probably go. so that's going to be costing people who drive obviously a lot more money. they're going to find other ways to squeeze a litre. is it. yeah. that's going to probably come back. >> i've noticed i mean just anecdotally petrol or diesel in my case going up and down by about £0.30 a litre just like through price fluctuation. i'm not sure i'd notice if £0.05 went on it. don't tell them that. yeah i'd rather they tax that. yeah i'd rather they tax that. i mean there's none of this. obviously they're in a very tight spot, but none of it seems to be remotely , seems to be remotely, encouraging to growth or to anyone to take any kind of risk or invest. >> you say that, but i think that it seems like they're trying to just be their whole mantra is fiscal responsibility, because the people, arguably, who really run the country are the markets. and if it's all about being honest and open and not sort of hitting us with this big bill at the end of the day and deferring it down the road, it's saying, look, we're the grown ups now. we're in the
2:14 am
room. and the idea is to give confidence to the markets. that's who they really care about, not us, i hope so, i do hope so, >> we now have the telegraph, please. josh yeah, >> so this is about, israel. yayi my favourite subject. britain expected to suspend israel arm sales. so i voted laboun israel arm sales. so i voted labour. seems like i was an idiot , i've labour. seems like i was an idiot, i've really, can admit that, there there was another horrific attack on children. on israeli children. hezbollah, drone killed playing football a few days ago , and the idea now few days ago, and the idea now that that that our country and who are allies, good allies with israel will be stopping export licenses for arms. is absolutely disgusting and ridiculous. it's not a huge amount. it's only 0.9% of the total. israel arms the israel buys from around the world. so it's not huge. and actually a lot of it is on radar
2:15 am
systems. they talk here about parts for f 12 and stuff like that, but actually it's a lot of radar stuff, right? but it seems to be just, posturing and it's going to harm us. we actually import more. israel is one of the leading developers of like, cutting edge weapons around the world. yeah. we've seen yeah . world. yeah. we've seen yeah. well we're going to see it's going to arguably hurt our capabilities more than hurting capabilities more than hurting capabilities or sales. well, both in terms of what, you know , both in terms of what, you know, defences in terms of, you know, israel's just developed this new laser weapon, so but it's more so the message that it sends to the rest of the world to sort of their arguments are that israel has committed war crimes. israel is fighting a war. >> and there are there are concerns about their activities in the west bank, including pnor in the west bank, including prior to october last year, as well . well. >> well, yeah, there's always, you know, but they didn't they didn't pull the was there. but they're also because they're fighting israel's fighting war on on loads of fronts as it looks like israel is going to be forced to now go to war in hezbollah, who have lobbed thousands of missiles across the border since october seventh
2:16 am
trying to provoke a war, the idea now that we would be withdrawing our support as a country to our allies. >> i think this is this is a i mean , if you look ten, 20 years mean, if you look ten, 20 years down the line, the way demographic trends are going in the west and the way, you know, the west and the way, you know, the young people are thinking israel's support, support for israel's support, support for israel in the west is going to absolutely dwindle. and in 20 years time, we'll probably be arming hamas and hezbollah, i think i think israel will be fine from america . but that's fine from america. but that's the front pages dealt with coming up. we'll have puberty blocker lefty ecotage and tommy on the
2:17 am
2:18 am
2:19 am
and welcome back to headliners i'm simon evans, everyone's favourite host. with me are josh howie, everyone's favourite panellist and leo kearse . so leo panellist and leo kearse. so leo you can understand not wanting to go through puberty with the way the country, the state it's in at the moment but still good news on the whole i think. yeah,
2:20 am
so puberty blockers ban imposed by tory government is lawful high court rules. even though a lot of people on the left say it's awful and not lawful. so the conservative government issued an emergency order on the 29th of may, temporarily outlawing the supply of puberty blockers pursuant to an overseas prescription in the wake of the review by doctor hilary cass into gender medicine. >> so this review, if you haven't heard of it, it found that there were very substantial risks when you, you know, drug and apply hormones and puberty blockers and whatever to children and result in sterilisation , cancer, sterilisation, cancer, osteoporosis, all kinds of horrible things. >> and they're very narrow benefits. and also you can't entirely trust the science because the science is conducted by ideologues . so the by ideologues. so the government, you know, didn't wait for the, the cogs to, to work and just applied this emergency order. i don't know why they couldn't do it with other things, but, but yeah, the labour government is going to maintain that ban. yeah. i think that's good news. and it seems to be getting picked up. i've noticed, by some american campaigners as well. but yeah, finally seen some sense.
2:21 am
>> yeah, it must really hurt the guardian to write this article because they've obviously been part of pushing this ideology over the years, also, i believe it was a good law project that was involved in bringing this absolutely spanked . yeah. and absolutely spanked. yeah. and they've been spanked repeatedly. i don't think there's a, you know, if they're going to win. >> he's got a great name for fundraising , killing foxes and fundraising, killing foxes and fundraising, killing foxes and fundraising and yeah. >> and a and a pretty and a pretty definitive report there from the judge. laying it all out about the cat. we've seen lots of people who've been captured by this ideology trying to maintain this narrative that cats report somehow is faulty or whatever . this, cats report somehow is faulty or whatever. this, this cats report somehow is faulty or whatever . this, this 400 cats report somehow is faulty or whatever. this, this 400 page, four year report by the leading paediatrician in this country. and somehow it's actually rubbish. and it's like the more that it's examined, the more that it's examined, the more that we breathe air and light into it, the more that we find out. actually, no, it's all solid stuff. and this is good news. >> finally, i say finally. that's obviously from some
2:22 am
previous artefacts in the mirror medley . we get, we get on to the medley. we get, we get on to the greatest threat to public safety, public enemy number one, the devil's documentary maker tommy robinson has fled the country. >> it might be finally, because maybe they'll just cut the show in the middle of the story. we'll see. we'll see what we say about it. tommy robinson flees uk after dodging high court appearance prompts urgent arrest warrant. so there was news yesterday that he'd been arrested and then the police were like , no, we haven't were like, no, we haven't arrested him. turns out he had been arrested under a terrorism act of 2000 because he was trying to leave the country, and he wouldn't give across his phone.i he wouldn't give across his phone. i believe that's that's what i read somewhere. and because of that, that allowed them to arrest him. and then they let him free and then he left the country. >> he left and he wasn't actually, it wasn't under whatever any kind of legal obugafion whatever any kind of legal obligation to stay in the country. yet he wasn't like , i country. yet he wasn't like, i think they gave him till october to get his affairs in order before he has to be in court to face some sort of charge. the original charges him broadcasting this documentary. he's made . yeah, which is about
2:23 am
he's made. yeah, which is about an hour and a half long. i started watching a bit of it on twitter. it's kind of i mean, it was a it was stretched out. i think i got bored with it didn't seem to be terribly controversial. it was mainly about whether or not he he had misreported the bullying case. >> this might not be controversial to you, but it's controversial to you, but it's controversial to you, but it's controversial to the person who it's about, who it's libellous to both. >> it's a controversial to both parties within it. josh, don't get me wrong, i understand that the people involved in it both wildly controversial, but i don't think it amounts to terrorism. >> yeah, no, no, but the terrorism is because of him. because of him leaving the country and not he didn't submit to a search and wouldn't allow him to use his phone. >> so that's why terrorism, i mean, this just seems seem to be extraordinarily comfortable with the know. >> just if you're if you're if you're arrested at the border, that's what you would get arrested for. that's why it wasn't. these are two i don't think that. >> no, no, that's not that's not right. these are counter—terror laws aren't used to arrest anybody who doesn't doesn't acquiesce to a search. that's an absolute nonsense. >> this is i mean, things like tommy robinson, for all his
2:24 am
fault reason. >> he was originally going to have to go to court, was over broadcasting the documentary. >> that's nothing to do with this arrest. >> and the reason he was leaving the country, or they were stopping him, was because he was going to have to go to court. >> it was no, no, no, no, no, they weren't stopping him because he had to go. it was it was a it was a stop and search that happened. and he wouldn't comply with it. so everybody why he was stopped. >> so josh everybody who doesn't acquiesce to a stop and search is a terrorist and is prosecuted under the counterterrorism. >> but he hasn't been nonsense. no, he wasn't prosecuted. he was arrested. >> he wasn't prosecuted. he was arrested. that's the point. that is what they do at the border. >> oh, is that what they do at the border? yes. well, it just it seems painfully obvious that, you know, we're in a time of this, you know, we've got horrific incidents happening all the time, and the police are focused on getting tommy robinson under counter terror laws instead of, you know, maybe prosecuting or keeping an eye out for something that's worse. is there anything else that's worse? that's that's happened lately? it's so patently obvious to me that the police could have handled this differently without introducing the word terrorism next to tommy robinson, for
2:25 am
trying to get onto a ferry and not wanting them to look at his phone.i not wanting them to look at his phone. i mean, i find your attitude to it almost. >> well, that's just that's what's what they would do if you went along and tried to didn't get the phone. >> it isn't it's never, ever happened before. how have i never ever heard of why have you would you ever not give your phone or you're trying to leave? exactly. i can it could be like a stop and search and you're not allowed to leave because you might be in contempt of court. because you might not be making yourself available. yeah. i mean, there's a saying in a different law, there's a saying in germany, nonsense. you would have to be suspected of terrorism in order for them to say that his refusal to comply with their search led them to plausibly that seems to me fairly basic, right? you know, when you say absolutely, i mean, it's pretty clear that there's two tier policing going on. >> and, you know, i'm not saying tommy robinson is a saint or, you know, justifying any of any of his actions or anything like that. but, you know, i've seen much worse stuff. >> i mean, there's a guy who wants to set up an islamic shana wants to set up an islamic sharia caliphate on a scottish island, and he's allowed to just merely go around fundraising.
2:26 am
and it's like, how come tommy robinson gets all this focus and all this attention and other people are allowed to do, you know, worse things? >> and i think you should go on a flight tomorrow and see if you can get away with. i don't trust this. >> and we all saw what happened at manchester airport the other day, and those lads were out on bail. there was no mention of terrorism because they were they they kicked off because they just wanted to see the woman's face. their mother's face. yeah, well they came. there was no mention of terrorism there, but that's no. oh well, if you won't comply at an airport, it's. >> there was nothing about the mother's face that was all about an earlier incident. this is the state using comply with stop and search. >> it's the state using not automatically terrorism. josh, you know you're talking nonsense. it's the misapplying. it's the state misapplying laws and rules to persecute somebody . and rules to persecute somebody. ultra left activist arrested in france though surprisingly not the ones responsible for the opening ceremonies. >> yeah, so french police arrest ultra left activist, which in france must be very, very ultra left after railway sabotage attacks . attacks. >> so this is after the coordinated sabotage. >> sabotage attacks caused chaos and disruption ahead of friday's
2:27 am
olympic opening ceremony on the railways. there are also, i think it was 80,000 people couldn't travel there also, attacks on the power network and the telecommunications network. so this has been quite an organised thing. and the unions in france have links or have people that are in the far left in the, you know, the communist party or whatever. so they also have, you know, they're privy to the i mean, this person, for example, had wire cutters access keys to the to the state rail operators technical premises, a set of universal keys, as well as literature with links to the to the ultra left . to the ultra left. interestingly, the you know, the left left are in power in france. >> yeah. well that's that's the thing . thing. >> is this a message to macron to say like, you know, because they, they did some finagling to, to get to get, keep it the le pen out of the way and like and get the far left in have they made a deal with a monster here and there's this a message to macron saying if you don't put one of the far left leaders in his prime minister we're going to we're going to do more
2:28 am
of this. and they also say that their justification for it is that the, the olympic games is a celebration of nationalism, a giant staging of the subjugation of populations by states. the olympics opening ceremony was the opposite of nationalism. >> it was the this is the weird kind of , i >> it was the this is the weird kind of, i don't >> it was the this is the weird kind of , i don't know, two left kind of, i don't know, two left feet, isn't it? but anyway. go on. yeah. >> no. yeah he had some far left, ultra left literature, whatever that is. i think that jeremy corbyn's poetry book or whatever. and but yeah, the guy talking about it said the sabotage was deliberate, very precise and well targeted . this precise and well targeted. this is the traditional mode of the ultra left , i.e. is the traditional mode of the ultra left, i.e. implying that a far right terrorist would more likely just headbutt a lamppost. yeah so it was like he's sort of he's sort of maybe they have a different far right really. like praising the far left. but i hope we don't see i've never heard of ultra left. ultra left. yeah.i heard of ultra left. ultra left. yeah. i mean there's an ultra left. >> i don't think that there must particularly we don't really want a return to the kind of beaten off. i was going to say baader—meinhof. >> yeah. yeah, they were the 70s and all that stuff. >> quite stylish. that's part two done coming up, heidi.
2:29 am
olympic boxers, yellow cards for sniping. and if you seen the elgin marbles
2:30 am
2:31 am
2:32 am
welcome back to headliners leo. lovely footwork from the telegraph here. mincing around the truth like a world champion. featherweight of indeterminate genden featherweight of indeterminate gender. yes >> so olympic boxers are to fight women despite failed testosterone tests. and this isn't like in a pub car park or something. this is, this is it at the olympic games. so this is two boxers who failed testosterone and gender eligibility test last year. they've been cleared by the ioc to fight in the women's category in paris . to fight in the women's category in paris. it's algeria's imani khalife . khalife. >> he's very imani. >> he's very imani. >> no, they always have names that lure you in like cash is a man. >> yeah. it's going to be hard not to the other one called colitis. it's going to be it's going to be hard not to make
2:33 am
jokes about this one either. it's a new thing. is hanging out. >> no, but the thing i think the thing that strips away the thing is, i'm not sure from this if they're transgender or if they've got differences of sexual development or dsd. >> so you get athletes like caster semenya photograph of them. >> they both look completely, unambiguously male like very, very strongly like you wouldn't even think twice if you saw them. >> yeah, i would have sex with them both. yeah. >> no, they look really, really strongly male. but then so does caster semenya, looks like . caster semenya, looks like. yeah, but but that's and he she has undescended but they are a biological male as well. >> yes. exactly. >> yes. exactly. >> there there is complexity there. so you can understand that. so yeah, it may well be one of those cases i don't know. >> so maybe instead of male and female at the olympics we need a man looking and a lady looking . man looking and a lady looking. >> well i mean i guess what they have is, is fine. is testosterone levels. but the ioc have have gone. no they're fine. let them in. i mean, as people have said, because i've seen this stat quite a lot today in this stat quite a lot today in this story, 260%. that's the 2.6
2:34 am
times harder men than women. >> yeah, it's the biggest. >> yeah, it's the biggest. >> that's a that's a killer. >> that's a that's a killer. >> that's a that's a killer. >> that's performance advantage in any sport. >> because not only will they not be able to hit each other, you know, equally hard, but they won't have had training of confronting that. they won't have built neck muscles. >> they won't have the strength to, you know, to absorb the, the punch. >> the mma fighter who you see. yeah. following folks. yeah. destroy. but the problem is the ioc has divorced itself from the iba. right. and this is why this has sort of allowed to go through because the iba has banned this. right. but the ioc hasn't. and they're just so they have no regulations. so they say , have no regulations. so they say, well no not not. and there's actually saying there's not going to be boxing at next year's next the next olympics if, unless this gets sorted out, unless they. wow. yeah. >> well i think the women should withdraw. don't you. i mean, that's why. but if this is. >> but it's unfair for them. they've been fighting. they've been their whole lives. they've been their whole lives. they've been training. >> but if this is just women with this, if they all genetic, it would be. >> that would be it. maybe they should do two for one, two on one. >> but if it's women with a
2:35 am
hormonal imbalance but a naturally occurring hormonal imbalance, isn't that what the olympics is all about? it's about naturally occurring outliers. >> that's to an extent true. yes an interesting philosophical point, but i suppose, is it a naturally occurring elevated testosterone, or is it a naturally occurring, normal level of testosterone for somebody who has testes? >> yeah, i think they should just go back to the old, like, tucked away, you know, i mean, it's difficult, but that's how it's difficult, but that's how it is. i just think they should go back to mud wrestling . go back to mud wrestling. >> that was a great. i knew that you'd be able to make it racist somehow. >> what brit school leadership. >> what brit school leadership. >> don't clip that. are leadership racist? >> sexist rules of the road for the tory party hopefuls in the express now, >> yeah . tories threatened with >> yeah. tories threatened with yellow card, if they make one move in leadership race. so the point is that there's, six of them now. i think. >> who are they feeling like there's a word missing from that. yeah. >> there's something if they want. yeah. if they basically if they diss each other or release
2:36 am
bad stuff, do the dark arts as it's known. yes. to each other, then they are going to be publicly shamed. so let's keep because the idea is to not sow more division within the tory party, if that was in any way possible. kemi badenoch last week released a twitter thread of just one day of the attempts that were made to kind of bring her down during that day, people calling it old friends and whatnot . so, this is a i mean, whatnot. so, this is a i mean, it's sort of sad that it even needs to be said. that's somewhat indicative of the state of politics. but of course, the tories are. there's a massive rift there. >> yeah. i don't think it's a bad idea, actually. seems quite sensible to me because you do see politics only ratchets in one way, doesn't it? it gets nastier and nastier. the campaigning at the moment in america is hilarious. i mean , america is hilarious. i mean, you know, i'm able to enjoy it from a distance because it's a circus. but it must be kind of these people must be constantly , these people must be constantly, i don't know, just feeling like grubby with it all. yeah. >> and when it's, when it's picking a leader of a party. so you're fighting within the
2:37 am
party. so it just makes you look incredibly disunited. and you're going to expose all the. you're going to expose all the. you're going to expose all the. you're going to be sending all these attacks and flaming arrows at each other and then those flaming arrows and attacks are going to come back and haunt anybody who gets the job. and also you're probably going, those people are going to be in your cabinet. >> you're going to have to have them in the cabinet, because there's only 12 of them in the entire parliament at the moment. yeah, well, let's hope it works. leo part three of the great betrayal this evening as labour start browsing extra large bubble wrap in the mail. >> so labour hints at backing for sending elgin marbles on long term loan to greece as keir starmer woos the eu for closer relations. so it's a dispute that's been going on for centuries and rishi sunak and his greek counterpart clashed bitterly on the issue last year . bitterly on the issue last year. but tory former chancellor george osborne has been trying to negotiate a deal. he's now chair of the british museum's board of trustees, and chris bryant, in labour, has praised this plan. that would involve the marbles being sent to greece for a decade and they would never come back. i think we know that that would be i mean, in a way, if you're going to do it,
2:38 am
this is probably the best way to do it. >> i mean, you know. yeah. everybody saves face. yeah. exactly. yeah i just don't understand why they can't 3d print some decent copies. they would never know. >> but they've done the scans now. so they have like very precise. but this is as our colleague lewis schiff would say, somewhat of a non—story because basically all it is built on is chris bryant saying that he praising the by the way, the british museum is are the people who control this. the government has no say anyway. but the way that they've tried george osborne i think is it. >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> but the way that they've tried to parlay this into because it's keir starmer trying to woo the eu for close ties. now the eu, he may be doing that, but it's got nothing to do with this. and he has no control overit with this. and he has no control over it anyway. >> so it's ridiculous this kind of and we've seen how fond the eu is of greece anyway. yeah. the most appalling humiliation they've performed on anyone. yeah >>i yeah >> i think we should flog them on ebay before they get taken office. >> that's the money. >> that's the money. >> i have seen them, by the way. they are lovely. yeah. i went to see. yeah, yeah, go and have a look this weekend. the sun next everybody's favourite soy based
2:39 am
hive mind organism. just stop oil have tried to disrupt service at gatwick airport, but they turn out to be not that much of a barrier. >> yeah, moment just stop oil eco idiots blocking gatwick airport departure gates have plot foiled. yes, as passengers just basically walk over them . just basically walk over them. and if you've seen the footage, yeah, they literally just sort of step over them. these guys are pathetic, i don't know if any were kicked in the head, i don't know if you need to see the using the same tactics that they use in front of motor vehicles, where, of course you are. >> yeah. you're lying there, but. >> yeah, but they don't realise that human beings have a little bit more nimble dexterity. but what i don't understand how they managed to drive over me with their legs. >> so they got themselves in the paper.i >> so they got themselves in the paper. i mean, i suppose they didn't want to let the whole. because, you know, they've lost four of their, their bravest, strongest soldiers. >> yeah. it might have just been protesting ryanair luggage. >> how come they're not arrested for terrorism? >> yes, yes, they should be. terrorist act of 2020. yeah well, they could be. >> i mean, i think that's fair enough, but they don't stop anything anymore anyway. leo,
2:40 am
everyone's favourite lawyer, ahmed yacoub, who we were mentioning earlier, is pulling the old reverse ferret on the manchester airport. fifo >> so this is in the guardian. the lawyer for the family at the centre of the manchester airport brawl has said he's stepping aside as investigations into the incident gather pace. so he became the lawyer for the two, men that are involved in it. one of them was kicked in the head. he's known as the lamborghini lawyer. i looked at his youtube channel. it's amazing. i've got a lot. he's like a like a character of a of a show. i've got. i've got a lot of, affection for him, but obviously, you know , he swooped obviously, you know, he swooped in there, thought he was going to get a lot of attention, possibly, you know, win a big compensation case and then it turns out the lads, there's new footage came out to it as an assassination attempt. >> yes . >> yes. >> yes. >> yeah. to be fair, it did involve an ear and not just not just them. >> he said the, so one of the, another relative works with the police. apparently a few of them worked for the police, but one of them works with the police and couldn't go into work
2:41 am
because they were afraid of being assassinated by the police. and it's like you're in britain. yeah. you're not. you're not in, you know, i don't know, in continental europe. >> yeah . regularly. yeah. >> yeah. regularly. yeah. i mean, maybe if the police were more armed, they wouldn't get punched on the nose. quite sophie reaper. punched on the nose. quite sophie reaper . yeah, yeah. sophie reaper. yeah, yeah. >> i love how the guardian here says teenager's lawyer. that teenager throws a mean right hook. yeah, yeah, it's like teens. hook. yeah, yeah, it's like teens . oh, those teens. teens teens. oh, those teens. teens today. yeah >> that is the end of part three. coming up in the section. we've got fatties sexism and some stories as well. we'll see
2:42 am
2:43 am
2:44 am
and welcome back to headliners so we jump back in with the daily mail and a television pundh daily mail and a television pundit being fired for a sexist joke. not the worst sort of firing of late. but josh, you mentioned you might have an even more sexist one on you'd like to share. oh, i've got loads of sexist jokes. >> yeah, yeah, wheel them out. i did the mud wrestling an extra
2:45 am
couple of minutes before. yeah, yeah. no, i'll get through it. yeah, yeah, i have plenty of people walking out. >> i haven't actually seen this guy before. >> no i haven't, i don't know, i'm not really inside. bob ballard. so you cancelled the olympics for sexist show. bob ballard's decades long career at bbc and eurosport. so i'm commentate and he's gay, by the way, so he should really be allowed to joke about whatever he wants. yeah, absolutely. i mean, if he was trans, totally. >> you know, gay is kind of 50, you know, but basically it seems like this is what he said. >> some i don't really even understand. it's not really a joke. women to get ready said, oh, you know what women are like hanging around doing their makeup. how could you get fired for that? it's true. >> it's 20, 24. >>— >> it's 20, 24. >> they swim. i guess . so maybe >> they swim. i guess. so maybe they don't wear makeup, but it's it feels they should wear makeup and they should leave streams in the pool as they go. yeah, i kind of feel it's about as mild as a joke can be before it ceases to be a joke. yeah, you know what i mean? yeah. >> it's like you've obviously watched my set and it's nothing. >> i mean, it's like the most
2:46 am
sort of offhand, inoffensive comment going, oh, you know what blokes are like talking about their cars or something. >> yeah. and it's about that. are we not allowed to say that women wear makeup like women? >> take some of them a long time? >> a lot, a lot of women do. yeah. women then complain about how long it takes to put makeup on. it's like, do you know how how long it would take me to improve my level of attractiveness like that? i'd have to study to be a doctor, you know what i mean? it would take me like 12 years. do you never let your wife drive and then sort of, like, do a little bit of grooming in the in the fold down mirror? no. well, my wife can't drive, so you don't have great walks behind. well, we feel sorry for bob ballard. >> i've never even seen him. i don't know who he is. is it? is he a swimming commentator? i mean, i don't watch much swimming. there's not much to commentate on. oh, and here comes, here comes number number seven. >> you wouldn't think euro sport is like the most kind of woke of channels or whatever. >> i saw their other show, eurotrash and it wasn't walk it off it seems, >> yeah . it's, it's, it's
2:47 am
>> yeah. it's, it's, it's a shame that just that it's mild beyond. >> maybe he's been offered, you know, voluntary redundancy in the timings. could we stick with the timings. could we stick with the male and athletes are leaving the olympic village for french hotels, raising the question who will win gold in the 200 mile freestyle? bedbug bite , scratch a thon. bite, scratch a thon. >> yeah. so how the walk 2024 paris olympic village is. so a walk is ending any world record hopes after coco gauff revealed her entire team left for a hotel. so this is the usa tennis star coco coco gauff or golf coco gauff feels like that's a very particular type of digestive issue. just leaves a little puff out of there's all kinds of nastiness. >> how does she blow the balls back over the net? major varne follow through. yeah so she's for the olympics. >> they've built a $1.6 billion facility for the for the athletes, but they have to force they're forced. the athletes are forced to share a bathroom with ten other athletes who are all
2:48 am
doing coco gauff as well . and doing coco gauff as well. and they're trying to make the olympics sustainable. but that means they don't have air conditioning. the food's terrible. it's all it's 60% vegan. so they're not getting enough proteins. they're not getting the opportunity to break records because they all feel terrible and they're not getting getting the right food. >> are they really not got air con? i mean, the rest of it. >> no air con. yeah. it's bad. no. but also if you have ten women sharing a bathroom, that is why they were late. so it wasn't a joke. yeah. the previous story in fact, if anything, he was trying to steer attention away from the net zero. >> trying to help them out. >> trying to help them out. >> yeah, but having 60% of their food being vegan is ridiculous. like, what do you not know about athletes? they need meat and eggs >> well, they need pro—choice. at least . at least. >> well, but but all they basically all of that food just went straight out the door. and then they just had no food for any coco gauff. >> and that was it. >> and that was it. >> yeah. yeah. particularly bad for coco gauff. but yeah, but it's, it's, it just it's people have been training for years for this and then suddenly they get there. so a lot of them are moving out to hotels. it's a
2:49 am
huge waste of money. also there's no like they have to get sort of public transport. >> well also i mean i've stayed in a french hotel. i did get bedbugs, but that was actually belgium to be honest. but absolute nightmare. but also their breakfasts are awful . their breakfasts are awful. they're not an athlete's breakfast. a gauloises, gauloises and an espresso, sort of a limp bit of cheese. yeah. they should come and stay in english. travelodge, under the daily star, actually, wetherspoons need a branch in paris. they were talking about that. that could have been their opening. >> the wetherspoons daily star. >> the wetherspoons daily star. >> fat influencers. has this gone too far? well, presumably not on foot. yeah. well, yeah. >> so fat influencers have gone too far. chilling, eating videos posted before early deaths. oh, this is a whole subgenre. i'm not really. i don't really know. i haven't watched them myself. but what we have seen over the last. shall we say, ten years or so, is this kind of body positivity. hum, march. maybe march. yeah, yeah. people be proud of yourselves . girls and proud of yourselves. girls and boys with your big. yeah,
2:50 am
exactly . but of course, now exactly. but of course, now what's happening is surprise, surprise, they're all dying super young, like in their 30s. yeah. you cannot be that large. and it not have a big metaphysical order on you. you will die. >> it said that it kills as many people now as smoking, and it's obviously vastly more of a problem than. than what? famine or you know, thinness or whatever. yeah. >> anorexia. >> anorexia. >> yeah. yeah i am baffled by it. and i mean , i thought it it. and i mean, i thought it might be a craze for, for a month or two or a season, you know, that nike would have hugely overweight people in their gear as inclusivity, but it seems to have stuck, doesn't it? i mean, the paris opening ceremony, all stuff about the last supper to one side, which very possibly it wasn't intended to be. that might have been intended to be a bacchanalian, but it was a grotesque display of very unhealthy bodies to open a ceremony which is all about the unapologetic, you know, desire to be the fittest that you can be, right? >> yeah. and it's the symptom of
2:51 am
a sick society where we're seeing people sort of. and it's identifying, you know, we've told people, oh, you can identify as whatever gender you can identify as a light bulb or a cat or whatever. so people, fat people genuinely say, identify as healthy. and it's like that. the cholesterol doesn't identify you as healthy. you can't identify your way out of some things. >> it's horrific. if you've ever seen one of those diagrams where you see somebody who's like 30 or 40 stone and you, and then within it you see a sort of cutaway where the skeleton and you just go, oh my god, you know, because otherwise you sort of assume the whole thing has expanded. yeah, but it hasn't. they're big. they are a regular person with just huge. >> well, it's like that film. it's like wall—e. yeah, this is the future and it is a problem because we are massively unfit. we are getting fatter. it is costing our the nhs and our taxpayers billions of pounds. and we do have to take some sort of measures as a society to deal with it . and it's about with it. and it's about unprocessed, unprocessed we need to bring back. >> well, i'm bring back bullion. >> well, i'm bring back bullion. >> okay. this. yeah >> okay. this. yeah >> the guardian now leo. and dying early . can we're still on
2:52 am
dying early. can we're still on the same subject. can cause others to age at an accelerated rate. so i guess it all sort of evens out in a way. is that right? no, no . right? no, no. >> well, bereavement in early life may accelerate ageing, according to research, i mean, because you're already dead, but. no, it says here the stress of bereavement may accelerate, accelerate the ageing process . accelerate the ageing process. according to researchers who found evidence that losing a loved one, such as a parent or sibling early in life, had an impact long before people reached middle age. so those people have epigenetic markers for this is not a widow. >> this is sort of a close no, this is it. >> yeah. this is a close family. so this is a self—selecting sample of people who have, people around them who die in their family, who die. and obviously, if people you know who die before they're old in your family, there's a chance that the genes, you've got the genes. so this is, you know, they're saying, oh, there's genetic markers that they're not as healthy. it's like, yeah, obviously i think it does add some sort of stress as it says here. >> it's they had 4000 people, 40% had loved lost, had had lost a loved one by adulthood. and they were found to have
2:53 am
significantly older biological ages. i mean, you're right, there could be a chicken and the 999 there could be a chicken and the egg thing going on. but let's not underplay the impact that that grief can have on the system . certainly in someone's system. certainly in someone's development, the trauma i will say this, though, i've known a number of women in their 50s who are widowed and thrive and thrive. >> absolutely . oh, really? >> absolutely. oh, really? >> absolutely. oh, really? >> they blossomed. have they on your block? >> yeah, yeah. finally the male, very quickly. you got seconds on this, josh. the most hated media sites. >> yes. the most hated media sites in around the world. social media, facebook, essentially. and weirdly, in south america, most of all, they really hate facebook in south america and tiktok being the most popular. >> it's interesting, isn't it? meta is in trouble. it lost a lot of its share prices. it's mainly invested now in servers and the cloud and so on. but i think facebook is on the way out. good news the show is nearly over. let's take another quick look at tuesday's front pages. the daily telegraph knifeman kills two children in houday knifeman kills two children in holiday club horror. the times.

2:55 am
have a bit of cloud and some rain still across parts of the northwest due to a weak decaying front that is gradually making its way south eastwards. that rain then is going to push its way a little bit further across parts of scotland and perhaps northern ireland, before easing and clearing away overnight. and so for many it is going to turn largely dry. there will be some clear skies around, but also a few pockets of mist and fog here and there in the southeast. i'm expecting it to be a bit warmer than last night, but towards the northwest it should be a touch fresher, perhaps a little bit more comfortable. if we take a closer look at what we can expect first thing tomorrow morning, then down the eastern side of scotland , a bright sunny side of scotland, a bright sunny start here. further west, though, a bit cloudier and there could still be some lingering showery outbreaks of rain around, though these will largely clear away as we go through the morning. also a few spots of rain, perhaps for the far west of northern ireland, and a bit more cloud over far north of england. but for many central southern parts of england and wales, it is going to be a bright, sunny start. and
2:56 am
because of the sunshine, any fog and mist patches will quickly clear away. lots of sunshine then, for many of us as we go through tomorrow, even across scotland and northern ireland, it is going to be brighter and sunnier than today. and like i said, those showery outbreaks of rain will clear through as well. with the sunshine, it's going to feel pretty hot , particularly in feel pretty hot, particularly in the southeast. temperatures getting to highs of around 32 celsius, which will make it the hottest day of the year so far. a little bit fresher towards the northwest. looking ahead to wednesday and it's another fine day for many of us. we still have some very hot, humid air across us, especially in the southeast, and that does mean there is the risk of some thunderstorms pushing up from the south as we go through wednesday night and into thursday . so do watch out for thursday. so do watch out for some intense thunderstorms on thursday , particularly in the thursday, particularly in the south, and then some wetter, fresher weather on friday. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news
