>> hello there! coming up on the saturday night showdown, keir starmer took the knee for blm, but he's much less keen on the disorder that followed the tragic events of this week. obviously, all rioting is bad, but why is two tier keir only cracking down on rioters when he doesn't need to worry about community cohesion .7 and is the community cohesion? and is the media also displaying astonishing bias? this week, the headunes astonishing bias? this week, the headlines have been screaming about criminal thuggery and far right bigots. it's a far cry from the soft touch they took with blm and the unrest in harehills and rochdale recently, and the left have managed to do what four decades of peace talks couldn't have. united british and irish nationalists union jacks and irish tricolours were

seen on the same side of an anti—immigration demonstration in belfast as a common foe. solve the northern ireland problem. all that and much more. this is your saturday night showdown . showdown. discussing all tonight's topics with me are my brilliant panel. joining me tonight, our broadcaster and tv personality, precious muir and top comedian ryan mcdonnell. what an amazing pair of guests. but first, let's get your latest news headlines from tatiana sanchez . from tatiana sanchez. >> leo, thank you and good evening. the top stories protests have taken place in several parts of the country today. ministers to met discuss the potential for further

widespread disorder in that meeting with senior ministers. the prime minister said the right to freedom of expression and the violent disorder we've seen are two very different things, he said . there's no things, he said. there's no excuse for violence of any kind . excuse for violence of any kind. merseyside police earlier said a number of officers were injured dunng number of officers were injured during serious disorder in liverpool city centre, and four men have been arrested in stoke on trent after disorder there. in hull, around 100 people gathered outside a migrant hotel being guarded by police, where a window was also smashed. at least three people were led away in handcuffs as demonstrators faced counter—protesters in nottingham. meanwhile police in riot gear were deployed in belfast amid tense exchanges between protesters and an anti—racism rally, with a small number of fireworks being thrown . number of fireworks being thrown. northumberland police have accused protesters of unforgivable violence and disorder following rioting in sunderland city centre last night. videos posted on social media showed a former police

officer ablaze, while a mosque was also targeted. vehicles were overturned and set on fire as rioters clashed with officers throwing rocks and bottles. five police officers were injured, with four hospitalised and ten people were arrested for offences including violent disorder and burglary. home secretary yvette cooper says police have the government's full backing to take the action. they need against violent protesters . protesters. >> well, criminal violence and disorder has no place on britain's streets . we've been britain's streets. we've been clear to the police that they have our full backing in taking the strongest possible action against perpetrators , including against perpetrators, including were making sure that there are more prosecutors, there are sufficient prison places and also that the courts stand ready because anyone who engages in this kind of disorder needs to be clear that they will pay the price .

price. >> now, donald trump has agreed to debate vice president kamala harris. he accepted an offer from fox news for a televised face off on the 4th of september. it's not yet known if the presumptive democratic nominee will agree to take part, although she did previously indicate that she was ready. trump says the debate will feature a full arena audience, while kamala harris has responded today in a statement accusing the former president of running scared and suggesting he should stick to the debate, he, quote, already committed to on the 10th of september. well away from us politics as such, but still with trump. gb news ben leo travelled to aberdeenshire today to speak with eric trump, the former president's son, and you can see the full interview here on gb news on mark dolan tonight from 9 pm. but here's a snippet from their conversation . snippet from their conversation. >> kelly is my. my father had so much respect for the queen, as did i. my mom knew so many of them for years. i think you probably know that had a great

relationship with diana and everyone else. and, you know, that's a very sacred kind of institution. and, you can happily have those two back. we'll happily send them back from america. you can have them back over here. but i'm not sure if you guys want them any more than we might not want them anymore. they feel like they're on a little bit of an island of their own. but listen, you can always have bad actors in anything. you can always have spoilt apples. and in every orchard. but, the institution of the royal family is, is beautiful. and, it's something that's really actually admired by, by a lot of americans. and, and i think that should be protected. >> and, and those are the latest gb news headlines for now. i'm tatiana sanchez. more from me in an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . gbnews.com forward slash alerts. >> welcome to the saturday night showdown and let me be clear i

don't support attacks on the police or rioting or the destruction of property, but i have never seen such blatant two tier treatment as these riots. the police ran away from ethnic minority riots in leeds just a couple of weeks ago, leaving them to flip police cars and torch buses and a mob of muslim men was left alone to rampage outside rochdale police station screaming allah akbar , kicking screaming allah akbar, kicking in the doors and chucking eggs at the windows. but as soon as there are protests by people concerned about immigration and demographic change, dogs and baton charges are deployed. men who don't appear to be resisting arrest are punched in the face and pension age women are cuffed and pension age women are cuffed and arrested. we're told that these riots were the edl looking at this woman that must stand for english dinner. ladies, please remember that this blatant two tier policing isn't the fault of the police. it's imposed by politicians. london's met police come under the authority of mayor sadiq khan and ultimately the mandate for all uk policing comes from yvette cooper's home office and sir keir starmer. keir starmer

took the knee for blm, but he sticks the boot into right wing protesters. labour's two tier approach is also visible, in the words of home secretary yvette coopen words of home secretary yvette cooper. look at the difference when she speaks about ethnic riots in leeds. >> the community is working very closely together in response to what was a local child protection incident, but it's really important that the community can feel safe on the streets and also that the perpetrators feel the full force of the law. so appalling to now see those same police facing violent attacks from thugs on the streets who have no respect for a grieving community. it's a total disgrace . frankly, this is total disgrace. frankly, this is a time when everyone should be showing respect for a community and for the police. >> and so the second clip there was her talking about the riots we saw this week from people responding to the horrific events earlier this week, keir starmer had an opportunity to unite the nation on thursday,

reassure people that he was going to do something to make british children safe. but we all saw the speech he gave on thursday where he looked to have cynically exploited protests to give himself authoritarian powers and basically make it illegal to be right wing. there are clearly people turning up for a fight to these protests, which i condemn, but they're protesting about issues shared by vast swathes of people who starmer has smeared all as far right. to be honest, i don't think the lads wanting a fight have a well thought out political position. i do, however, think that everyone is rightfully angry that our government can't keep british children safe. now. i'm joined tonight by broadcaster and tv personality precious muir and comedian ryan mcdonnell. now i've got to ask, do you think there is precious? do you think there is precious? do you think there is precious? do you think there is a two tier approach from the government? >> i think that you can definitely see the differences and the way that they speak about the different protests and obviously, and how they kind of, kind of see the value of what the message is. and i think the

message is being lost amongst obviously the chaos , you know, obviously the chaos, you know, the knife crime is extremely high right now , and that's the high right now, and that's the kind of message that we need to focus on, because that is what the catapult for these riots are . the catapult for these riots are. obviously they're victims, you know, the children were victims, obviously, in sunderland of the so horrific, horrific incident that happened . that happened. >> i mean, this can't really be tied up as as knife crime, as. >> right? obviously not. but it's a catapult. it's a catapult for the riots right now. and the message is that obviously the immigration is causing the issues and they're trying to have a message of we need to get a handle on it. but obviously rioting and damaging property is not the answer. >> yeah, well, i'd say that's fair enough. i mean, i was disappointed by keir's response because he i thought he was going to come out and, you know, reveal that he's governing for everyone. and instead he used it as an opportunity to sort of really exploit it. it was quite a cynical exploitation of the situation to bash his critics and also announce a raft of new powers that he clearly just

wanted to bring through, including, you know, a surveillance state, you know, a new, new police force , new, new police force, effectively, and facial recognition to to, clamp down on any political distance. >> yeah. i mean, i'm not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch, but like, just for means of playing devil's advocate, like triangulation. and by that, i mean, like taking people and splitting them into separate groups. and then pitting those groups against each other by means of subjugation has existed since, like the dawn of colonialism. you know, if the people have a common enemy within, then it stops them from turning their attention towards the state. with a brand new government in place, you could start to see trends here and there. >> yeah. and do you think, do you think he's perhaps, not signalling or not saying anything reassuring to the people protesting or to white working class people who have legitimate concerns because he's lost their vote already? i mean, the yeah. >> i mean, i think that he's lost the vote for, you know, of all citizens of the uk. i think that we are just a month ago .

that we are just a month ago. well, well, exactly. they won the election. but i don't feel like we have faith in what he's planning to do because he's not getting the handle on the illegal immigration, and that's causing , obviously illegal immigration, and that's causing, obviously some of illegal immigration, and that's causing , obviously some of the causing, obviously some of the people to be quite disheartened . people to be quite disheartened. and so they're not seeing a change. and the change that they promised, obviously during the election process hasn't come through. we've not seen any results. >> so do you think if the election was held today and this is just a month on, do you think it would be a very different result for keir? >> i think that it might just be. i mean, obviously the conservative party didn't really follow through on some of the stuff they were supposed to do, but neither one will be able to get a handle on it as quick as we really need them to go. i mean, at the moment, it's absolute chaos out there. it really is absolute chaos out there in chiara's defence. >> it really is chaos out there. and there's also some serious damage being done. there's some horrific scenes i saw a mob of guys attacking a black guy. it was it was disgusting. there's also 50 police officers injured and that's likely to be way more by by this time tomorrow. definitely. >> yeah. i mean, if you boil

everything down to its very essence, there's one key message being put across here and that's people are angry. people are angry for a reason. and they needed like a leader to step up. and at the minute he's been very non—committal. and what they needis non—committal. and what they need is a strong, clear message. and we haven't had that. >> i agree, i agree, i agree with that. >> well, let's move on to look at how the media reported on other riots. they showed some two tier reporting. harehills was covered in the guardian. i don't know if you remember those those riots a couple of weeks ago, ethnic riots. they said we're all in it together. how unrest in leeds escalated and was diffused, as if the community in harehills had just come together to save a boy who stuck down a well. and according to left wing magazine prospect, the rioting in leeds was the language of the unheard. well, who's heard the concerns of people worried about rapid demographic change and the safety risk of unvetted males being dumped in large numbers in their communities. even the coverage of the 2011 riots, which resulted in huge destruction and several deaths,

minimised any thuggery. excusing the riots as catalysed by the shooting of a criminal. and look how the blm protests were covered in the bbc. this is their headline, and i'm not making this up. 27 police officers injured during largely peaceful anti—racism protests in london. it seems to be a common theme that riots are justified of a violent criminal has been killed . now, do you think the killed. now, do you think the media have been biased, have shown there's two tier bias as well? >> i mean, i think the media do coverit >> i mean, i think the media do cover it to make it at an angle where it could actually get the receiving end of it. they obviously want to make sure they're being politically correct. right. so as a person of colour, they want to kind of gear towards me. so i then start following and listening and reading. and that's what their purpose is because obviously they want to see why should that be. >> shouldn't their purpose be to tell the truth? >> well, i agree, i think that you should tell the truth. but but at the end of the day, they know what what clicks and follows and views are, and they know that they need to get that. so putting a headline like that

gets the clicks and views is that really why they're doing it? >> i've heard journalists say that they they sort of they sometimes take the more politically correct option because it's just easier and safer. nobody ever gets fired for being too politically correct. >> yeah. i mean, it's hard to see where you're coming from in this one, precious. i mean, this is the nation's broadcasting corporation. so they they like their whole raison d'etre is to tell the truth, i don't really think you should be sugarcoating stuff. >> yeah. no, absolutely. i don't think they should be. but they they clearly. >> but they do. i mean, the difference this time, the difference this time, the difference this time, the difference this week i've seen, you know, headlines of, you know , you know, headlines of, you know, far right thuggery. >> and this was before the riots had particularly escalated. they were they were pretty much equivalent to the riots we saw in harehills and the rise in harehills. it was all, oh, community tensions overflowed and all this flowery language, all this, oh , we need to speak all this, oh, we need to speak to community leaders. why aren't the riots? why aren't these riots are allowed community leaders? why is why are they ? leaders? why is why are they? >> i mean, i definitely watched it and i did notice even the police treating the people very

differently in comparison to, say, when you see the protesting for the muslim community and the black community. and in regards to and then regards to, you know, the white community. so it is you can see a difference even in the actions of the police while you're watching this footage. and they, you know, they put it on the media and people see it, but they still put the headlines as something else. so the truth is there. they just can't say it. they're afraid to say it because they don't want the repercussions of those actions, of saying so. >> so you're very worried. they're they're afraid to say it. right. so people are so scared of being perceived as very scared , being racist or very scared, being racist or doing something that could be racist to be cancelled or whatever else. even worse, that they just won't take the risk, right? they won't. and that in itself stops them from doing the job that they're there to do. >> and we've seen this before with the authorities. the grooming gangs weren't apprehended because authorities i mean, this was in the official report. authorities said they were afraid of appearing racist if they if they tackled it because it was, you know, an ethnic minority community perpetrating it. i think you

know, perhaps after this, i don't know, obviously keir starmer isn't going to go down this, this route, i think. but but it'd be great if, you know, we could maybe detoxify some of that and just make everything more honest. >> i think that also they they have to allow the media outlets and people to feel comfortable that there is not going to be a repercussion for them saying it. so we need to also allow that to be there. the moderator of that needs to be a little bit, you know, lowered because you know , know, lowered because you know, if you say it, you're you are wanting to say it, but you don't know where it's going to end up, you know, and a lot of people this week have been accused of being far right for saying that these riots and the situation we've got now have been spurred by decades of open borders , by decades of open borders, immigration with a lot of unvetted males coming across in small boats . small boats. >> now, rachel reeves actually mentioned this herself. she's the chancellor, the labour chancellor, right now. but back in 2016, rachel reeves predicted the riots. the now chancellor of the riots. the now chancellor of

the exchequer warned that britain could explode if rioting into rioting if immigration was not curbed after brexit. she said we have got to get this right because there are bubbling tensions in this country that i just think could explode. you had those riots in 2011 if riots started again in leeds and bits of my constituency, it's like a tinderbox now is rachel reeves a secret right winger in labour, clearly knew this would happen. >> she had like she saw into the future. >> i see i mean, obviously they shouldn't have then, you know, suggested what was the solution for that instead of just saying it and then just putting it out there and now it's happened. yeah. >> and what's, what's galling about this is people have been saying this for years and have been dismissed as, oh, you're a, you're a, you know, far right fantasist and extremist and you know, concocting this. but labour knew i mean, in fairness , labour knew i mean, in fairness, this, you know, the, the mass immigration that's happened in the last decade has been under.

well, i think i think it's bubbung well, i think i think it's bubbling up and it's definitely in the communities of every part of the uk. >> i mean, when you're providing housing and you're finding financial , housing and you're finding financial, support and you're providing all of these things to somebody and angrier, well, well, there you go. i mean, and then we've got homeless people who are uk citizens, british people that are living on the streets. this is why there is so much tension , because it's like much tension, because it's like we're giving this to somebody who's come here illegally, and we have our own people living on the streets . yeah. the streets. yeah. >> and what what i find galling is, is the lack of vetting. i mean, people getting off the small boats and eitherjust small boats and either just running away because they know where they're going to go, they're going to go and meet their their friends or, whatever where they got mobile phones or. >> yeah, they call them, they've got mobile, got mobile phones , got mobile, got mobile phones, better shoes than me, you know, for all that you spent five grand, given five grand to a criminal to get across the channel >> so, you know, a lot of them know exactly what they're doing, but you know, when i fly to tenerife on holiday, i get

frisked down, i get i have to bend over and cough twice, and somebody sticks a rubber glove hand up somewhere. >> that's a very good reason, though, isn't it? >> yeah. that's why i go. >> yeah. that's why i go. >> you paid extra for that. i'm always like. i always make sure i smell like a bomb. and my god. >> people if i, if i went somewhere in a rubber boat, you know, i wouldn't be subject to any of that. i'd have to pay for it. >> well, i mean, signs that you've come up with a good business idea, then, doesn't it? >> i'm not so sure about that. anyway, in fairness, labour weren't in power over the last 14 years, so we can't blame them. but hopefully they'll do a better job of uniting the country and clearing up the mess that's there. now coming up, we will assess the week's winners and losers in this week's. we've got union jacks and irish tricolours seen on the same side of protests in northern ireland today. and we'll show you what happened when this man just wanted to have some trampoline fun. stay tuned to see

welcome back to the saturday night showdown. crystal blast is coming up. but first i promised i would show you what happened when this man just wanted a little fun on his trampoline . little fun on his trampoline. >> oh, he didn't even get to it. >> oh, he didn't even get to it. >> the trampoline. trampoline seems to be one of those things. if you buy a trampoline, you might as well buy a motorbike or something like that. yeah, a pit bull, an xl bully. because, you know you're going to end up losing your leg on it anyway. it's now time to go through the winners and losers of the week, the left of seemingly managed to do what, four decades of peace talks couldn't. they have united british and irish nationalists in belfast? there's a long standing animosity between the two sides in ireland, but they found common ground in resisting the recent rapid increase in mass migration. let's have look. >> fryston attention . this is a

>> fryston attention. this is a police message. the crowd should disperse immediately as force is about to be used against violent individuals . individuals. >> ryan, i've got to start with you. were you amazed to see the tricolour and union jack on one side? standing together against militant antifa flags on the other? >> i mean, i'll be honest, yes, but i think what's actually happened here is this is just nostalgia, because, you know, we're in the middle of marching season here. so historically, we've always raided around this time. we've just never done it together before. >> you're normally rioting against, like, each other. yeah. >> because normally, you see you have one on one side of those police barricade there and then the other one on the other side of it, but both of them on one side there. the police won't know what to do with themselves. >> they've both found somebody. they they dislike more. the antifa protesters who are on the other side. >> well, there you go. look at this. i mean, it's history in the making, isn't it? i mean, obviously we're seeing this type of stuff and we're just not knowing what to do, but it's uniting some of us, obviously, through the chaos. there is

some, you know, there is some resolution. yeah i mean, it's nice to see. i just hope it sticks. yeah, it won't, but but it would be you have tony blair saying that he brought an end to the troubles, when all along, all we needed was a bit of antifa and the whole thing would have been picked up decades ago. >> do you think in ireland we've seen a much more, sort of robust and energetic. response to, to mass immigration than there is in the uk, where i think people are just a bit cowed and beaten into submission by the fear of, well, the thing is, they obviously they're feeling it because obviously the further away as well, the further you go up north and so forth, that's where they're housing them. >> they're housing them, they're giving them health care. they're giving them health care. they're giving them health care. they're giving them financial support. and so the actual locals are suffering. so they are going to come together and support this because they want it to be over. >> and do you think irish people feel more confident doing that because they don't have i mean, i get that britain's got a history of colonialism. >> i've heard of this little thing called the british empire. i thought it was great, but apparently not everybody agrees, agrees with me there. i should

probably be careful sitting on this table. >> don't turn your back to me. >> don't turn your back to me. >> yeah, but yeah, i mean, i get the, you know, the british empire, there's a there's a certain amount of sort of national guilt attached to all that. but ireland hasn't colonised anywhere. >> no. but i think, well, i don't know about boston. i don't know if you've ever been to boston, massachusetts, but there's quite a lot of irish people there. >> so let's. >> so let's. >> yeah, i mean, there's a community there. they they own every pub going. so but i believe that obviously finsbury park. well there you go. in finsbury park as well. i've not been but i know in boston, massachusetts there is a big community there and i feel like it. people come together in the times of tough times, right? so they come together and they unite together. and at the moment we're all on the same page. we want this to be resolved. so i think that the conflict is always going to be, you know, us against them because we want this to be over. >> yeah. you know. >> yeah. you know. >> yeah, we all want some. >> yeah, we all want some. >> so we have found common ground, to be honest. how long it will last? we have no idea. >> but the british influx of

immigration happened over a much longer and protracted time frame. >> so it was slower in the days then. people didn't really see it coming , whereas with ireland it coming, whereas with ireland it coming, whereas with ireland it was very hard hitting. it was very quick. yeah because for years people didn't go to ireland because, you know, they were fleeing war torn countries and then they would turn up in ireland. go, i'll take my chancesin ireland. go, i'll take my chances in sierra leone, you know. so all of a sudden now you've got a massive influx. there's nobody there. let's go there instead. and so it was a very, very obvious difference. >> well kamara kamala harris has replaced joe biden as the democrats presidential candidate against donald trump and jd vance. and kamala's campaign strategy has been revealed. she's going to call jd vance and donald trump. weird. and not just her. it looks like a memo was sent round all the left wing media channels. take a look at this. >> i love what he and his running mate are saying. it's just plain weird . just plain weird. >> these guys are just weird. that's where they are . that's where they are. >> as weird and creepy as jd vance . vance. >> super weird idea from jd vance. >> yeah. it's not. i mean, it's

quite weird. they're just plain weird. just plain weird. >> just plain weird. >> just plain weird. >> it's a bit ironic, considering that the republicans are the party of family values, and the democrats are the party that brought naked gender clowns into the white house. but i guess it depends on what you think is weird. now precious. i've seen women do this kind of like, ooh, he's creepy. ooh. he's weird. bullying in, in offices. i'm not saying it was directed at me , but. but i've directed at me, but. but i've seen women , women do this, and seen women, women do this, and it's kind of, you know, a sly, underhand way of bullying sometimes. do you think this is going to resonate with the childless cat ladies who kamala is obese or made up? >> let's not go there. >> let's not go there. >> we can't do that, leo, we're not going to do that. we're not going to call the ladies. yeah, that's not fair. >> that's not. >> that's not. >> i can smell the cat food from here. >> well, let's go with this. i think that trump has proven for, you know, to himself and to everybody else that he does say weird stuff. i mean, he said a lot of weird things. i remember him saying something like, if his daughter wasn't his daughter, he would be dating

her. i mean, he does come out and say some crazy stuff. >> fairness to trump , ryan, his >> fairness to trump, ryan, his daughter is really fit. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean, yeah , it's just not a >> i mean, yeah, it's just not a thing to say as a father, but i respect a man who, when he's running for president, can go on tv and say something like that and still win. >> i mean, that is, that is pretty incredible. >> it is pretty incredible. and then to their defence, it is also pretty weird as well. >> thank you . >> thank you. >> thank you. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> i mean, it's a little bit weird, but i think he, you know, he meant it as a, as a compliment to, to his daughter. anyway let's have a look at look at jd vance to see just how weird he is. let's have a look. we've got a picture of him here. oh what a weird. oh there he is with his nice, lovely, loving family and two children. that's i mean, that's beautiful. that's not weird. >> no, i think he's slightly hypocritical. >> i think not, not as weird. well, he says a lot of things about, vice president kamala harris and who is soon to be president of the united states of america, and he does say a lot about her ethnicity. and his wife is indian. so i feel like i

feel like he's weird in saying certain things about her when his wife is actually a woman of colour. >> he hasn't said anything very strange. he hasn't said anything negative about her ethnicity, though. >> well, i think he agrees with trump because obviously he's running alongside him and he says that obviously, trump has said that now she's all of a sudden black and now she's not indian . indian. >> we're gonna we're gonna go, there we go. >> we got that clip in the i think it's in the third section or the fourth section. anyway, moving on. could it be that huw edwards felt emboldened to do what he did with some so—called progressives pushing to normalise child abuse? take this article that appeared in the guardian. a man convicted of looking at images of child abuse and his wife make themselves the victims talk about how they are normal people who got sucked into something that can happen to anybody. what's wrong with this society? under progressivism, there's definitely a move to destigmatize paedophiles as minor attracted persons or maps, and move towards recognising it as some sort of you know,

semi—legitimate sexuality. there are concerns that some people push puberty blockers onto children to preserve them in a children to preserve them in a child like form, until they're of an age to consent. children are exposed to sexualised content online and in schools . i content online and in schools. i used to sneer at religion, but i've seen it where it's been replaced with progressivism and it's worse now. do you think that articles such as this create an environment that makes it, you know, more likely for, for people like you to do what he did ? he did? >> well, i think that obviously normalising certain things and obviously, you know, catering to these kinds of people is why we're here today. and i stand by it. and i said it before, and, you know, i've been proven right. i mean, he has been everyone is in fear of this man and anybody of his level to even call him out for any of the things that he used to do. so i've been saying it and i've said it about you know, previously by other people as well . and i've been right. and well. and i've been right. and i'm so to happy be justified in

a sense. but then i'm sad because we're living in a society where this is allowed and this is happening quite regularly now, especially with bbc talent and i'm just quite disappointed in the fact that they didn't, you know, get control of the situation much sooner than they did . sooner than they did. >> yeah. and it is i mean, it's sort of echoing back. i mean, i guess some people would say the bbc is just keeping its traditions alive, but it is echoing back to, you know , the echoing back to, you know, the horrific, the horrific cases of jimmy savile and other people and whose cases actually , i and whose cases actually, i think, you know, a lot of people had dismissed it as, oh, it must just be some almost a misunderstanding like, like he accidentally signed up to, you know, only fans who cheated the system and was actually underage. but no, this is horrific. like category a, the worst, the worst kind of child abuse images over a period of months. it's absolutely horrible. >> well, you say all this, but then to be fair, he did only commit 15 acts of paedophilia in a largely non—sexual nonsense .

a largely non—sexual nonsense. >> so yeah. so i guess i guess compared to jimmy savile, i guess it's an improvement for the bbc. maybe in 200 years. >> we can't. >> we can't. >> no, no, no, we can't justify any of the actions. i mean, as much as we like to have a, you know, a bit of a laugh and a joke, this is some serious stuff, guys. i mean, this man has done some serious stuff and we keep going. oh, it's fine. you know, it's not fine at all. it's just because it's images. he was communicating with a paedophile to receive those disgusting, horrific images and footage. >> did you see the picture of that? >> i did not see. i did see the picture of the young man. >> yes, i did what he looks like. >> he looks like a paedophile. it's always. >> it's always the one. >> it's always the one. >> his name is alex williams, right. and he's a convicted paedophile. >> he's definitely. >> he's definitely. >> he's definitely convicted now that's how you got caught. so he was caught. i was surprised to see. >> how did they find each other? >> how did they find each other? >> they always seem to find each other. how does one have that conversation in the first place? >> like. yeah. >> like. yeah. >> like. yeah. >> like there's a level of confidence there. like that's what i mean. >> like how does one go. oh you're kind of into that type of

yeah, it's hard. >> how does that come out getting enough guys together for a game of poker. >> right. >> right. >> how does one start a conversation like that. and how does one receive information and pictures and video footage of that? it's mind blowing to me how how we have this kind of underground, you know, situation where people can communicate and distribute this type of footage. >> we also have, underground paedophile hunters. yeah. in broadcasting, i agree with every bit of their work. >> and keep going doing what you're doing. honestly. >> stuff. well, next on the saturday night showdown, culture corner. plus, i'll show you what happened when this woman did the old mentos and pop trick. you might guess this one. you find out what happened after the break. see you in a

welcome back to the saturday night showdown. culture corner is coming up. but first, i promised i would show you what happened when one lady decided to put a whole pack of mints in

a bottle of fizzy pop . bottle? a bottle of fizzy pop. bottle? >> absolutely . for anybody >> absolutely. for anybody watching on radio, the thing that happened that happens every time somebody puts mints in a bottle of fizzy pop. >> it all came spraying out . >> it all came spraying out. now, you might be wondering this week. there it is again . let's week. there it is again. let's watch that again. that is, beautiful. that's okay. now, you may be wondering, this week how much of your licence fee was spent on paedophiles. huw edwards was on nearly half £1 million a year. it's not as much as gary lineker, but it's a lot more than most people who are shaken down. for £170 a year licence fee . even after hugh was licence fee. even after hugh was suspended, the bbc continued to pay suspended, the bbc continued to pay him a total of £200,000. now hugh was paid about £640,000 for the 16 month period in which he has admitted to crimes, with the tv licence, bringing in revenues of £5 billion over that 16

months. if my maths works out, that means you've personally paid £0.03 to an active paedophile if you're paying your tv licence, of course, now , were tv licence, of course, now, were you surprised to see huw edwards bailed? he was. he was bailed. so he can you know, if he's i'm not saying he you know, he he's got anything lying around. but you think you know somebody like that who's got suspicious, material on on devices you'd want, want him to go straight to jail rather than be able to go and dig holes and bury hard drives. >> i mean, you would hope that they've already done their due diligence, and they've got everything that they need. and then you would also hope that if they're pressing charges that they're pressing charges that they know what he's capable of. so you would think that he probably shouldn't have been bailed. but we'll leave that up to the law system. yeah. >> and do you think he's going to get a harsh sentence because i've heard, you know, some jails are quite cushy. >> well, well, i think personally he might go to a jail with like, you know, a swimming pool and a golf club. i mean, at the end of the day, they get a choice. if you have, they get a

choice. if you have, they get a choice. if you have, they get a choice. if you have a good lawyer and you have a lot of money, you can definitely try and sway your way into a better prison. >> well, the prison sounds better than my holiday itinerary anyway. to the olympics now. and anyway. to the olympics now. and a boxer who's failed testosterone and gender eligibility tests won a women's boxing match, smashing a woman in the face and breaking her nose. in the face and breaking her nose . this is algerian imani nose. this is algerian imani khalife, who's been described as biologically male. he or she or they or whatever was assigned female at birth, but has dsd or differences in sexual development, which commonly include being biologically male, having xy chromosomes like a male, and testes somewhere, generating testosterone. imani khalife, as in a man a is assured of a medal having won the quarter final. another fighter lin yu ting, as in lin yu ting is hanging out, has also won his or her fight against a woman after previously being barred from competing. algeria has complained that the criticism of imani is hateful

and bigoted. now this is a tncky and bigoted. now this is a tricky one. precious because imani isn't technically trans. imani isn't technically trans. imani was assigned female at birth, yes, but has dsd so has his biologically male characteristics, such as the, you know, the chromosomes. >> and yeah, obviously like so intersex maybe. i mean obviously they haven't comment on the no sex life. no but i'm sure he is it's not been officially, verified that this is what this person is. but i do believe that obviously having xy chromosomes and a high testosterone level, allows the, the other person competing against them to say yes or no if they should be competing, because as a woman , competing, because as a woman, you're going to, to a ring and you're going to, to a ring and you're putting yourself at risk for, you know, major injuries to even brain damage. yeah. so why do you remember this is. even brain damage. yeah. so why do you remember this is . but do you remember this is. but this is a big thing. it's a contact sport. >> it is a boxing. it's definitely. >> so it's a contact sport. so when have you ever seen a featherweight and a heavyweight

in the ring? never. this will never happen. so why are women being thrown into the ring with somebody who is other. and we can't clarify exactly what they are. and then just being forced to fight them. >> this is absolutely insane . >> this is absolutely insane. >> this is absolutely insane. >> it's supposed to be inspirational, but who is this inspiring ? inspiring? >> it's not inspiring anyone. >> it's not inspiring anyone. >> this is going to inspire what? wife beaters. >> i'm 100% with you. like i get it right, but it's wrong. i know, and i really do get it. because, you know, we've all thought about hitting a woman at some point in time, but it's wrong. we know that it's wrong. so you don't. and that in this instance right there is a grey area. so always before it was black and it was white, it was male or it was female. there is a grey area and this isn't a trans issue. but if you fall into the grey area, you don't meet the criteria for one or for other, so you shouldn't qualify. >> yeah, i'd agree with that. that seems fair enough. and it's a safety issue now with all the talk of far right extremism and keir starmer's clampdowns on british thugs, are there any other groups of people also posing a threat? a radical

islamic cleric is currently raising funds to buy the island of torsa, off the west coast of scotland, and turn it into an islamic homeland. makes sense to me. of course, radical muslims should have a homeland in scotland. where else would they have it? sheikh yasser al—habib already has some kind of militant training facility in buckinghamshire, but he wants to build a school, hospital and mosque on the island which will practice sharia law. the mail on sunday revealed he claimed asylum in britain 20 years ago after fleeing his native kuwait, where he spent nearly three months in jail for insulting the sunni faith. now the authorities are quick to clamp down on people like tommy robinson, but we've got little islamist armies openly training in britain and buying islands for weird sort of james bond baddie style layers. this surely can't be right. why aren't the authorities looking at this? this is insane. >> it's amazing. like i had no idea that sectarianism was so lucrative. if i'd known i could have got an island, but i would have got an island, but i would have hated protestants way more growing up. >> i mean, it's a scottish island, so. i mean, if he doesn't like sunni, sunni things, then he's he's going to

like scotland because it's never sunni there. >> well , well, i sunni there. >> well, well, i don't think it's ever going to happen because the locals are furious. >> and so obviously the person that's selling the island is not going to sell to him because they will just be an uproar. i just don't think this makes sense. i mean, why are they training so hard? >> this is who are they? >> this is who are they? >> who are they actually going to fight? i mean, we're actually we have this in the uk. why are we have this in the uk. why are we allowing this to happen? like, i don't understand this. if they want to be in the army, they should be in the uk army, they should be in the uk army, they should be in the british army and the military. >> why, why, why , why are we. >> why, why, why, why are we. well, they shouldn't be doing this . this is well, they shouldn't be doing this. this is outrageous. >> what does it say about our asylum system? if he's given asylum system? if he's given asylum here because he's at risk in kuwait? yeah, but he's too dangerous for kuwait. so now i just want to say, if somebody is too dangerous for kuwait, too dangerous for britain. >> i agree 100%. >> i agree 100%. >> i agree 100%. >> i mean, i can't understand and how this is legal. i mean, i don't get it. i mean, they are literally creating warriors on the, in the world and we're just letting it happen. i mean , look

letting it happen. i mean, look at this. this is absolutely insane. and nobody is stopping it because obviously the politically correct thing that we're all, you know, jumping on board to. >> yeah , we've all got to tiptoe >> yeah, we've all got to tiptoe around, tiptoe around it, careful that we don't look islamophobic. anyway, next on the saturday night showdown , the saturday night showdown, clone world. plus, i'll show you what happened when an aircraft attempts to take off in the beach. find out what happened next. in a moment

welcome back to the saturday night showdown . clone world is night showdown. clone world is coming up. but first, i promised i would show you what happened when a plane tried to take off. take a look . take a look. oh, no. >> oh . >> oh. >> oh. >> oh, that's for anybody

listening on radio. it basically a big bank of sand and it didn't go very well. it's one of those little microlight things. you used to see them flying around in scotland. and i always thought, i don't want to get in that. it doesn't have much protection anyway, let's move on and look at trump's running mate jd vance, smeared his political opponents as a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives, and the choices that they've made. and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too hard to find any fault in that. stung by this criticism, democrats are hitting back and are proud of their child free, cat owning status. one of them recorded a very good song, let's have a listen. be child free threatens the patriarchy. >> we don't need no man. we can do everything he can. >> that's really catchy , my >> that's really catchy, my precious. with that sway, to for vote kamala. >> well, i would definitely for vote kamala harris because i feel like that she is the right

candidate. and despite that video, i will stand by the fact that a woman has a choice. i don't have children and i'm very happy. don't have children and i'm very happy i don't have children and i'm very happy. i mean, i have a boyfriend , but i don't have kids boyfriend, but i don't have kids and that's a choice into getting you pregnant. >> oh, i got to get married first. you end up laughing. i've got to get married. i know that's how it goes, but you'll continue to be left wing. yeah, i'm in the middle. i'm in the middle. >> you've successfully duplicated. i have. >> i have, and as a result, you don't make excruciating songs like that. well, i mean, you say that with that of, convinced me to vote. no, probably not, but it might convince me to get rid of my kids. so >> stems and roundabouts. >> stems and roundabouts. >> anyway, staying with the us election, trump came under fire this week for a bad tempered interview where he questioned kamala harris's ethnic authenticity. >> she was always of indian heritage and she was only promoting indian heritage. i didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black, and now she wants to be known as black.

so i don't know, is she indian or is she black? >> she is always identified as a black woman. >> i respect either one college, i respect either one. but she obviously doesn't. >> i mean, it's ridiculous. >> i mean, it's ridiculous. >> he's still the funniest president ever. i mean , kamala president ever. i mean, kamala is of mixed jamaican and indian heritage. >> that's right. >> that's right. >> india , the country, not >> india, the country, not nafive >> india, the country, not native americans and grew up mainly on the west coast. yes. do you think trump is actually walking into a bear trap here? he's he's making these sort of quite crass. >> we go back to what you said. i mean, he says the silliest things, and this is why he's called weird. i mean, he says really ridiculous things, like, as a woman who is mixed race, i identify as a coloured woman or black. it's okay. i mean, you have one parent is one, and one parent is another. you can identify with. she identifies with her indian heritage, who is her mother and her father is jamaican. i don't understand why it's so difficult to comprehend for him. i mean, it's like mind blowing that he's able to do all these things. in all the years that i've known him , obviously that i've known him, obviously living in new york, and he's not able to comprehend a woman's

ethnicity, her race. it's not that difficult. you look at the woman , you can tell she's woman, you can tell she's a woman, you can tell she's a woman of colour and that's it. >> and she's been accused of tone switching. but this is something that all politicians do, you know, like like william hague, when he put on a baseball cap and pretend to be a lad. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> or pretend eating a sausage roll and everything as well. yeah. we spoke about this offer, and you're, like, growing up trying to become a politician as a black female. that's going to have been difficult , a black female. that's going to have been difficult, and she's probably going to have tried to distance herself from it as much as she could. yeah and now, finally, it's working in her favour. >> distance herself from her skin. i mean, her complexion. she wakes up every day, and that's who she is. she can't deny it. even if she doesn't say it , everyone else around her it, everyone else around her will remind her that she is a black woman. she is a woman of colour, so there's no denying it. she can't deny it. >> but i can sort of understand where trump's coming from because, for example, meghan markle, i didn't know she was black until, you know, she started seriously. honestly. yeah. >> she just i didn't either genenc >> she just i didn't either generic attractive woman. >> she could be like, no, she you could see that she's a mixed race woman. mixed race. >> yes, yes, but not necessarily

black. >> possibly italian. yeah. >> possibly italian. yeah. >> yeah, yeah. no, i mean , >> yeah, yeah. no, i mean, meghan markle is mixed race. >> you can see that. you can look at her and see that she. what do you mean you can see it now that's so strange that you don't. >> i don't automatically think i'm not automatically trying to. >> that is crazy. you could see you could see that. >> i mean, she's always identified as a mixed race woman. i mean, i've never seen her say otherwise. she has a black mum. >> yeah. i never met her mum . >> yeah. i never met her mum. >> yeah. i never met her mum. >> no, i'm going to be honest, guys. >> she was at the wedding, for goodness sake. was the mother then before then. okay, fine. >> fair enough. i mean , they >> fair enough. i mean, they both are mixed race individuals and they have identified. >> let's have a look at kamala putin on a southern accent. >> and you all helped us win in 2020. >> and we're going to do it again in 2024. >> i mean come on. that's tropic thunder over egg. >> she sounded like the hawk to your girl . your girl. >> listen, she she fell in the spirit. she got in the moment and she's and she's talking to her people . just like when trump her people. just like when trump says, i'm not christian, but i

want you christians to vote for him. he's obviously trying to relate and that's what happens in politics. >> so she's she's trying to relate. so she's doing that that tone switching thing that we talk about like i do the same thing too. >> i pick up the phone to ring home and then people can't understand me in this country anymore. so it's exactly the same thing. >> whenever i speak to my scottish mates back home, they're like, you're so english. >> and then down here you're you're just fresh off the boat. you can't win. >> you see me? >> they're like, you're using cutlery. oh, you're so fancy now. anyway, up next it's mark dolan tonight. what have you got for us? this evening, mark? >> well, a very busy show in a uk exclusive. >> i'm delighted to say that donald trump's eric has submitted to an interview, will be sharing it on the show, finding about that assassination attempt on his father. plus, in my take at ten, the media elite who circled the wagons to protect huw edwards amazing. >> sounds great mark, thanks to my brilliant panel tonight with ryan mcdonnell and precious muir. and we'll see you again next week. and don't forget headliners as well tonight at 11 pm. stay tuned for mark and for p.m. stay tuned for mark and for that later on. until then,
