>> good evening. i'm sophia wenzler with your headlines from the gb newsroom. it's just gone 11:00. thousands of counter—protesters have taken to the streets across the uk tonight. hundreds of counter—protesters have gathered in london, liverpool and rotherham, whilst they have also been reported in sheffield, bristol, birmingham and aldershot. the home secretary, yvette cooper, has thanked all police officers for their work tonight to protect and support local communities. it comes as at least 12 individuals have been convicted for their part in the ongoing disorder. speaking earlier, the deputy prime minister, angela rayner, said there's no excuse for thuggery. >> i know that the public will be feeling anxious about the reports of potential more, unrest tonight. but the police

will be there to respond to any violent and criminality that we see on our streets. there's no place for that on our uk streets. and the police will do their job streets. and the police will do theirjob like streets. and the police will do their job like they streets. and the police will do theirjob like they have done their job like they have done exceptionally well under very difficult circumstances, like i've seen here and witnessed today. what they faced missiles being thrown at them and attacks . being thrown at them and attacks. but the police will be there to keep the public safe and there's no excuse for thuggery and criminality on the streets. >> it comes as the metropolitan police commissioner, sir mark rowley, dismissed accusations of two tier policing, calling it complete nonsense. the criticism came from figures including nigel farage and elon musk, who argued that last week's disorder was handled more severely than it would have been if ethnic minorities were involved. meanwhile, it's understood the king has asked for daily updates on protests planned around the uk following the southport stabbings. king charles is said to be engaging privately in the issues of the unrest and what they've generated. the king has

a record of involvement in issues around community cohesion and interfaith dialogue . shamima and interfaith dialogue. shamima begum's lawyers could take her case to the european court of human rights after she lost her final bid to challenge the removal of her british citizenship. she'd originally had her passport removed after joining so—called islamic state as a teenager in 2015. a judge has ruled she can't bring the case to court again , suggesting case to court again, suggesting it could be argued the 24 year old had been the author of her own misfortune. following the ruling, miss begum's lawyers said they will take every possible legal step on her behalf, including a petition to strasbourg and three taylor swift concerts have been cancelled over a terror threat. swift was due to play at vienna's ernst happel stadium on thursday, friday and saturday. two people were arrested today on suspicion of planning islamist attacks on large events in the area around the austrian

caphal in the area around the austrian capital. those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm sophia wenzler 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 . slash alerts. >> hello and salam alaikum. police chiefs and community leaders watching. and welcome to headliners. your first look at thursday's front pages with me leo kearse. and tonight i'm joined by the brains of steve n allen. the rest of him is here as well. and the brawn of lewis schaffer. how are you both doing? >> i've got brawn i'd rather have. i'd rather have brawn than brains. >> well that's just as well . >> well that's just as well. okay. that's the that's the chit chat. out of the way. let's have a look at tomorrow's front pages. the daily mail leads with night anti—hate marchers faced

down the thugs who were non—existent. a good bit of facing down there . the times has facing down there. the times has thousands take to the street to confront the far right again. who didn't exist . the telegraph who didn't exist. the telegraph has britain shuts up shop over riots threat. the i news has far right rioters face football ban as ministers bid to kerb unrest. the metro has putin's pawns stoking riots. and finally, the daily star has. you've really hurt our feelings. daily star has. you've really hurt our feelings . and those hurt our feelings. and those were front pages . and let's have were front pages. and let's have a closer look at those front pages , starting with the daily pages, starting with the daily mail, which seems to have morphed into the guardian . morphed into the guardian. >> steve, they've gone with night anti—hate marchers face down the thugs. >> so all day we've been having loads of news, loads of push alerts on the phone saying like 100 areas of the uk are likely to be epicentres of riots and it's not so far touch wood and all that manifested into anything .

anything. >> loads of news. that's formica, is it? well, that's he can have it later, but the thousands of protesters took to the streets to then protest against the far right rioters. yeah. and they're crediting this with stopping it. isn't it more likely that if you'd planned to do a little bit of rioting later and all day, you were like, they already know where we're going to be. you turn up to riot, not to be. you turn up to riot, not to get arrested. you know what i mean? so i don't necessarily think these marchers, it would be great if the actual news was police had stopped riots rather than a riot stops a riot. we're heading towards the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a riot is a good guy with a riot. >> yeah, and these don't necessarily look like good guys with a riot. i mean, i've seen i've seen footage in sheffield of armed muslim and far left mobs chasing police down the street and the police running away, which they always seem to do when it's a certain type of riot. and surely what's happened here is this is trolls, like in birmingham the other day, when you know, jess phillips defended the muslim mobs coming out and harassing the sky news crew and stabbing the tyres on the sky vehicle. it was it was trolls who said there's going to be a

far right right here and there wasn't. and it never materialised, and aren't these supposed far left anti—hate marchers who actually seem to do quite a bit of violence and thuggery themselves? aren't they guilty of spreading misinformation, which we're told is bad, and then going out in the streets to protest, which we're told is bad as well? >> i think you missed the point. they're not spreading anything. they're not spreading anything. the whole thing is so deeply entrenched. first of all, they need to stop this thing even no matter what side you're on. we can't have a country that's rioting like this. but on the other hand, the whole thing is so deeply against the poor engush so deeply against the poor english schlub, and he knows he's lost. that's why that's why there's so many of these people. because you've got you can't. you're only going to win if you're if you're a member of the whatever it is , the anti—hate whatever it is, the anti—hate brigade. and if you are pretty hateful. yeah. who are pretty hateful. yeah. who are pretty hateful , you're only hateful. yeah. who are pretty hateful, you're only going to win so that the people who are who went out there initially are not going to go back out there .

not going to go back out there. >> and doesn't this suggest that some of the rioting that we saw might have actually been spontaneous, rather than organised in advance , given organised in advance, given that, you know, we're told that this was all organised in advance and it didn't happen. >> well, the thing is, the thing that's really shocking to me is, is, is when the head of the new york city, the london police, he basically took the took the he was asked a question he didn't want to hear about. and he, he basically damaged the reporters microphone and threw it on the air and threw it on the ground. >> that clip that i've watched, that clip loads of times, i've discussed that clip elsewhere. and it was it was more like, ooh, handbags rather than some serious thing. do you know what it might be? >> ooh, handbags. but if you're the if you're the head of the london police, you can't do that. it's like kicking. >> it's like kicking, but you're selling it like the people haven't seen the clip. like this. mark rowley comes out and he decks the guy and he got asked a question and he holds him up. >> yeah, he has to be held. he has to be held to a higher. the

guy should be the guy. >> might a truthful level though. don't don't describe that. >> i didn't say it. i didn't say i said i explained it and he did grab it. yeah. >> that's intimidation of journalist. >> i mean that's that's a deplorable thing for the head of police. damaging. >> yes it did, i did. it's not that it's wrong, but it is just oh no, i've knocked it off. i'm an idiot. yes, he's a bigger idiot for the bit where he says like, oh , i was trying to walk like, oh, i was trying to walk round it and then he lies. you don't have to just do that. right. it was a bad excuse, but it's not like he's. >> no, i described it perfectly. and the people have seen and you can see it. >> no, no, we can see it here. there he goes. so he grabs it. throws it. that's criminal damage. and it's two tier as well because the reporter's white, he wouldn't do that to an ethnic minority reporter. yet more two tier policing away with it. >> yeah yeah yeah. he turns around and says i find your lack of faith disturbing. and the guy goes like this. >> you're trying to make a joke about it. i think it's horrific. it is horrific. the guy should quit. he should be fired for his from his job. you can't have the guy who's head of the police fired for different reasons. >> not for that. >> not for that.

>> as long as as long as he's fired anyway , moving on to the fired anyway, moving on to the metro, lewis, what have they got? >> well, this is good news. russian targeting, targeting uk far right channels. i guess that's us. putin's points. except for except for him . he except for except for him. he doesn't care. >> and i didn't get penny from this guy. >> putin's power is stoking riots. they're blaming putin. they've got to blame somebody. they've got to blame somebody. they can't they can't blame themselves. and say they've they've gone on a path that's so wrong. and it goes against the british people and somebody finally speaking out for the british people, and they don't like it. >> so he's saying that they're saying that putin's got these troll farms in america. yeah. where he breeds trolls. no. where he breeds trolls. no. where he, where he gets people to. he makes british people angry and spreads misinformation. but, i mean, i think making people angry in this situation, making people were angry. yeah. it's not you know, people were already angry. i don't think we can blame this on putin. people have got valid reasons to be furious that the government couldn't keep these girls safe . girls safe. >> yeah, but, you know, there's a genuine reason to be angry ,

a genuine reason to be angry, and anger can be stoked. those two things can be true at the same time. so people can be angry, and then you can give more information . misinformation more information. misinformation that makes anger turn into actual action. and i think that's what we're saying putin's doing. putin didn't lay the seeds of the cause of this problem, but not even just of this incident. he did way back. >> he did slightly because, i mean, he precipitated the migrant crisis in 2014 by by assisting bashar al—assad in syria and then, you know, sending millions , literally sending millions, literally millions of refugees up to europe who, you know, europe said, okay, well, we'll oh, you can't you can't blame him. >> no. >> no. >> and he buses, he literally flies people in from the middle east, from, from africa, from wherever, to saint petersburg to to, moscow buses them to the border between belarus and, you know, poland or wherever. and they've had to they've had to put up big fences and they've had to, that's poland's problem. >> that isn't europe's problem because the here is the point. the point is, is that this the migrant thing bothers people and these and these demonstrations are considered justified by over

60% of british people, even even with the horrific nature of it. >> even if putin was involved in a headline that you showed me earlier. so 60% are in favour of peaceful protest, but only 8% in favour of the riots. so it's not even with the horrific. no. >> they're saying should people be out in the street and over 60% were sympathetic or very sympathetic to a peaceful protest, to the peaceful process, of course, which isn't then in any way, anything that's not peaceful. you could be against against violent protest and still be in favour of peaceful protests. i think i am. you're trying to preserve your place and the bbc waiting list and that's it's not going to happen. >> well, thank god he hasn't completely torn it up like you have, liz. and moving on. what's on the front cover of the telegraph, steve, >> one of the stories they've got is nhs service will help trans patients return to the genderin trans patients return to the gender in which they were born. this is now. and they should play this is now. and they should play in a cover of the elvis song return to gender. i probably should have warned people i wanted that clip and they've not got that ready.

well, that's the trouble, isn't it? but it's following on from the cass review, which found that children were being hurried down. affirmative pathways. they're putting in place a pathway for the return journey effectively, one hopes that won't be hurried, otherwise there'll be some going back again. we'll be here all day. yeah, but the report says after two goes, you should get you get you get. >> you only get two goes. >> you only get two goes. >> i don't think you go back to your original gender. >> you can't transition again. >> you can't transition again. >> they don't they won't after one go they won't have a penis to put back. so it's like two goes, it's pointless. this is this is shocking. you can't go back. it's all about it's all about castration. yeah. >> also, aren't these people because we're told that these people needed to transition because they identify as this genden because they identify as this gender. so aren't they being transphobic if they detransition and decide to go back to their previous gender? >> it means that's a good point. i'm not going to think about it. but what i was thinking is, is if they believe that everything was in place to make these children make the right decision , children make the right decision, then they should need this. they should say , this comes off the should say, this comes off the back of the cass report that said everything wasn't in place.

>> yeah. so actually this this part of the report found that there wasn't a good pathway back and therefore no data about return journey, to use the wrong phrase. but now the report recommends this, and it's been brought in for what they call. and we all know detransitioning, but i think in terms of cis terminology, you would call it sissified but might not be that might look into that. i might not be the right phrase. yeah. >> well it's going to be an amazing series of tattoo fixers is what it's going to be anyway. that's the end of part one. coming up after the break. we've got proof of two tier policing. shamima loses appeal and taylor swift cancels concerts because of terror threats. is it far right thugs? is it islamists ? right thugs? is it islamists? find out after the

break. my break. my hair looks great. yeah. anyway, welcome back to headliners, kicking things off with the guardian and robert jenrick says that people who shout allah akbar should be arrested. but then we wouldn't get any warning at all before a

terror attack. >> steve, thank you for commenting on my hair as well. it's not often people say that, but, yeah, robert is the headune but, yeah, robert is the headline robert jenrick criticised for saying people shouting allahu akbar should be arrested. he's had a busy day. to be fair . arrested. he's had a busy day. to be fair. he's doing the media rounds, right? so he's been interviewed by every media outlet. he was bound to say something that got him in trouble. in my word, he tried. he was trying to talk about the far right process. he was not saying muslim protests. he was saying muslim protests. he was saying secular protests . and he saying secular protests. and he supped saying secular protests. and he slipped in on sky news. this absolute humdinger. slipped in on sky news. this absolute humdinger . you should absolute humdinger. you should be arrested for saying that. allahu akbar. this misses out the context, doesn't it? it simply is a phrase in arabic that means god is great. so it's not 100 miles away from saying oh god or lordy, lordy or, you know, munzir, i've never heard somebody shout that before and or burning a jordanian pilot in a cage. that would be the context i'm talking about. do you know what i mean? if you are simply walking down the street and you shout that out, you shouldn't necessarily get arrested for just that. add some context around it. and maybe i think what he did, he got confused about the story. we covered ages ago about people shouting about jihad and the argument was, oh, it just means struggle. yeah. does it mean

struggle. yeah. does it mean struggle when you're actually saying, let's kill these people in jihad? what kind of struggle are you talking about? i on its own, he has made a mistake. you can't ban people from shouting out god's name. otherwise, how do you end sex? yeah. so that's my hot take on that. >> i mean, lewis , as somebody >> i mean, lewis, as somebody who's ended sex a lot of times, often for other people, i mean, this this is something that i've never ended sex. >> it's ended. it is, it is, it's ended. you. >> i've tried to, but this is a this is a phrase. this is a saying. that is quite a lot of people are fearful when they hearit people are fearful when they hear it and for good reason. >> they're fearful because. because what's going on in the world. and it's fearful when you see these people coming out with bazball, whatever it is, people are afraid right now and whatever it means. alok sharma am i allowed to say it there? >> god is not allowed to say, well, i don't know if i'm allowed to say it if you can't say that, but it's not like it doesn't mean what we say. >> it doesn't mean what you as a christian think it means, which is the god. it's everybody. everybody believes in god. we call it jesus. you call it

allah, but it's the seine. no, they don't think like that. they think this is our god and they're screaming. i can understand why people are afraid. yeah. >> and if you're going to have hate speech laws that cover, you know, phrases that could be deemed innocuous, but, you know, if somebody else perceives it to be offensive or likely to stir up some kind of, you know, hatred against somebody, i mean, then surely it's fair enough to plaster that, you know, terrible, tyrannical law across all language. >> yeah. see, you're right. and i so i take back what, what i, what i said before. yeah, i take it back. >> well we've got the express now and keir starmer insists that two tier policing is a far right conspiracy theory. unfortunately for him, one of his top cops unwittingly revealed that two tier policing is very real. lewis. >> yes, it is very, very real because he said he said, hey, you know, we're letting we're letting the birmingham community police, it says birmingham cop accidentally reveals two tier policing is real with a telling answer he said basically we're letting the birmingham community

police, police themselves because they're good people and they might be good people, but that's not what police is and it's the muslim community in birmingham, and it's the muslim community in birmingham and so, so, i mean, obviously he may not understand what it is, maybe because we're in britain , they because we're in britain, they don't understand the first amendment. yeah. you know, i was i was shocked, steve, to see a police a senior police officer dunng police a senior police officer during a time when surely they've been told, don't let anybody know that we're doing two tier policing. >> he just like unwittingly admitted that. yeah. no, we meet with this community. we've got good relations with them. business links and all of that, which sounds a bit, sounds a bit suspicious, but for the muslim community, it seems that policing is a menu that you can pick and choose from . whereas, pick and choose from. whereas, you know, he's he was told, you know, they were told by the community leaders and whatever that it was all going to be fine. and then it wasn't fine. then there were, you know, armed thugs smashing up pubs and beating people to the ground. so they got it wrong. and if they used the same style of policing, they use on the, you know, more

classically english style, you know, thugs, then there wouldn't have been that issue. >> that clip is great because he doesn't realise he's giving away the information. he thinks he's just talking about good community links and then says a few extra words and you kind of just see as it escapes from his mouth and then everyone's thinking, hang on, did you just say you the style of policing that was required? the style of policing is a weird phrase, isn't it? we know we want the ones who turn up with, you know, with all the you know, mascara. yeah. those ones, the ones who do the dancing in heels, you can't have you can't have a situation where a community leader gets to pick the style of policing because that's it's not going to work, is it? policing has to be the same for everyone. but i will say this while we're having the argument about two tier policing, you can't solve it by having worse policing for everyone. so you at some point you were going to have to stomach the worst policing needs to end. so that and if it's if it's your turn, if you know what i mean. if it's the tier you're on gets the harsher policing. as long as it happens the next time we have to stomach it. >> but the problem is when you

treat people a certain way nicely and then you say, no, we got to treat you the same way we treat the other guys. they're not going to be happy with it. and what this two tier policing is, the next step is sure, sure. shana >> that's like the start of a 50s song. that was amazing. anyway, we've got the times now and taylor swift has banned two men from her concerts just because they're islamists. this is just blatant islamophobia, isn't it, steve? >> this is the biggest story. how is this not straight out of the traps top of the show? taylor swift cancels vienna show over islamist terror plot. so there are some men who've been they've confirmed that there was a plot to do, like what happened in manchester. so if it would have happened, it would have been terrible. and the three gigs have been cancelled. this has gone too far. you you, you know, things can happen in this world. you can shoot at trump, but you come for our taylor swift and this would end civilisation for some reason. she is the totem that we all somehow can cling on to. and will she just shake it off? yeah, but that's us. >> so i explain what that is. >> so i explain what that is.

>> that's the song we were talking earlier, and you were saying like, well, why have they now that we know about it, surely it's been foiled. you can't take that risk. imagine if she was like, do you know what? let's plough on with it. they've they've caught two people. yeah. let's take the risk. there is no way she could afford to do this. even that might have, you know, what is it? >> it's interesting because ever since this, this was in the news, i looked up. who? taylor swift. swift was. and lewis is. >> it's shocking that you know, do you think they've made a mistake here? because if there's if there's one group of people who are more radical than islamic extremists, it's taylor swift fans. >> yeah. and i've, i mean, i've watched all those clips on the i have watched a lot of the clips and you have dirty rotten and there's probably doing her a favour. she's been on tour like for forever and, three days off in vienna , she's probably in vienna, she's probably enjoying. she's probably enjoying. she's probably enjoying herself. and how much money can you make at 65,000 tickets? i bet each ticket is like £100 or something. she's not giving them and she's not charging lewis schaffer rates.

>> yeah , you're right, she's not. >> we've got the telegraph now and shamima begum has lost her last chance to get back into britain. well, until she works out how to get to on something that floats and just come here like other people do . lewis. like other people do. lewis. >> right. that was. be smart. this woman's beautiful. i've seen pictures of her. i don't know whether she's recently. >> we've got a before and after pic if you want to see, see if you prefer as an isis bride or when she's trying to get back in. so there she is on the on the left, full, whatever that is that a hijab, a burqa or something like that. and there she is on the right with the with the glow up and a glow up rather than a blow up. and she looks, yeah. she looks she looks fantastic. i'd say. i'd say later in like a member of the all saints. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> the problem is, is when i look at it, when i look at that, both of those pictures, i think equally dangerous women are. women are horrible. >> women are based on her being a woman, not not her isis connections. >> you know, either way , the >> you know, either way, the other side, the feminist connection is even worse, is even worse. she's going to stop you from seeing your kids. she's going to be screaming at you all

the time. she's having sex with your best friend. i rather rather have her. >> am i your best friend? >> am i your best friend? >> yeah. would you? well, anybody would do it. she's beautiful. but the fact is, is that she went to. she went to syria, she married some guy, and she was gung ho killed. british people . people. >> but in fairness, i mean, she was radicalised here. she was very young when she i mean, this is one of one of the things people realise is how young a lot of the isis brides were. the average age of an isis bride. i think, is actually younger than the victims. average age of the victims. the grooming gangs. so these are vulnerable girls who've been trafficked out of the country. and i feel like she's being made a scapegoat for a whole plethora of other sins that our government has committed, possibly. >> and, there must be the monologue that jacob rees—mogg did, however many months ago it was. i thought it was interesting. his take was that she should be our problem. get back here. that we i mean, the legal grounds of we can't make someone stateless by removing their citizenship, but the argument is that she could apply for bangladeshi, citizenship, but they're saying, like , so we but they're saying, like, so we

are effectively making someone's stateless, and she should be punished here. yeah. so you agree. but then the fact that she's going through the echr might not be the way that jacob likes this is going to be an awkward, awkward one for him too, because most, most british tories are against the european health and whatever. >> okay, thanks for that top political insight louis. we've got the telegraph now and politicians have really got to stop encouraging these riots. steve this is the headline humza yousaf riots could force my family and i to leave uk. >> this is terrible. it's my family and me in this sentence. you are the object and the riots of the subject . come on man, how of the subject. come on man, how difficult is it? so he said that him and his family might have to leave because the far right riots. what he might have to do is pick a country where there have been no riots, checks. no. scotland are where you're okay then i thought you were going to say. >> i thought you're going to say palestine. >> literally. scotland have had no riots. neither is palestine had any riots. >> they've had a bit of upheaval, social upheaval. i mean, this is this is i mean, i

really respect him because, you know, he says he's scottish and he loves his country, but he's putting his religion above his country, which is surely something to, to, to, you know, respect in a politician . yeah, yeah. >> that's true. and he said he's not he's about i'm, i'm about as scottish as you come. yeah. no he's not, he's not because he's, you know, i mean he hates the english. he hates english. but that's part of it. that's. but that's part of it. that's. but that doesn't make you scottish. the fact is he, he's a horrible person. and if he leaves, he could take that woman with him, whatever it is. yeah. i feel like this is. >> this is like when you know, terrible pop star sukh. if the tories get in, i'm going to leave the country or whatever. >> it's not right for the guy. >> it's not right for the guy. >> it's not right for the guy. >> it doesn't put anybody off. >> it doesn't put anybody off. >> it's not right for the guy who was going to be head of the country to say that there's riots over there . and so i'm riots over there. and so i'm going to thinking about leaving here. it's not right. it's okay for me to think that, well, if it makes you feel better, he's never going to be a leader of any country again. well, because because he's not going to return

the £250,000 that was, that went to unrwa, that went to unrwa to get his kids or get his wife's family. >> some people have said that that's the reason, but we probably shouldn't say that. >> that's all right. i say. it's been alleged. >> i've heard me. i don't even join in on that one. >> okay, that's it for part two. join us after the break for doctors arguing over puberty blockers, anti—israel protesters children and dale disowning just stop oil. see you in

welcome back to headliners. we've got the times now with doctors arguing over whether or not to drug and sterilise children. no, we've done that one. we're going to move on to the telegraph and the government has a secretive unit to monitor people spreading information about protests on social media. it took the labour party one month to go full chinese communist party steve. >> yep, secretary of covid era like , it's not that long ago, like, it's not that long ago, but that's an era now. spy agency brought to in monitor social media during riots. the

national security online information team nick hewer. it's not it's not good, is it ? it's not it's not good, is it? for acronym? it's playing a central role. it used to be the counter disinformation unit, cdu, but now is the arne slot. it's been given the task just months after mps called for an independent review on its activities. so good news, leo, you've got a new follower. yeah, they'll be tracking you. definitely. and the unit has these trusted flagger status things which effectively gives privileged access to social media moderators. top flagger, top flagger. yeah, they can get rid of whatever it's tricky because there clearly has been misinformation. i remember first day of things happening. people were saying there's no way 17 they're just saying that so they don't have to name him. and now that he definitely was 17, yeah, i'm not seeing anyone like apologising and tweeting. so the misinformation also added to the first tire. >> so who is wait a minute. >> so who is wait a minute. >> the first level of protest. but the government shouldn't be the one doing this. if even if even if you can go. this is

definitely misinformation. you don't want the government having the power to delete that tweet. >> yeah. well yeah, absolutely. and this i mean, this this, this unit has been, has done some pretty dodgy stuff. i mean, it was set up to , deal with false was set up to, deal with false coronavirus information online, but it was also used to just crack down on dissent with anybody who disagreed with government policy. lewis. >> well, who's the person who came up with this thing? boris johnson okay. >> and he's probably now being used against him. >> yeah. so this is what happens this country. i mean it's i shouldn't even say anything because i'm next. they're going to they're going to come after you. they're coming after you before they come after you. yeah. well you really think so? >> other things to other people to come after? >> i think people i think i'm moving up though . moving up though. >> i'm worried about this slide into communist china , chinese into communist china, chinese communist party authoritarianism and tyranny. i mean, this is the surveillance state emerging. i mean, for decades, we thought that as china became richer, it would naturally gravitate towards a sort of western style democracy. and instead, you know, especially with lockdown showed us is that people, people just crave to feel safe. so

they'll they'll give the government incredible powers and throw away all their freedoms and human rights. if they just get one little crumb of safety feeling, well, it's what it's what the riots have taught us is that most of the people and i know you could like you could parse the, the opinion poll in the it said most of the people support the idea of these protests on the street. >> they support it. yeah. and yeah, they support democracy and protests and things like peaceful protests. yeah, yeah. they support it, but it makes it seem like they're, you know, they're all animals out there. every single one is a far right animal. yeah. and they're just ridiculous and they're not. >> anyway, that story i skipped over about doctors arguing over whether or not to drug and sterilise children. louis, i thought it was the previous story. i didn't. >> we do that story. >> we do that story. >> i thought we i thought we did, but no, this is we were going to do it. >> we didn't do it, all right? we could skip it anyway. is the bma this is the british medical authority and the cas report. the cas report. i love the way you do things in this country. you have some one crazy old lady and she. she's no, she, she's

she's a very experienced. >> she's a top paediatrician. >> she's a top paediatrician. >> she's a top paediatrician. >> she is. but when you have one person you can just say, well, you know what? she made the report. >> i don't like it. she didn't just do it on her own. i mean, she, she had her name is on there. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> because one person has to be ultimately accountable. >> it's not like the warren commission. >> we've got a prime minister, but it's not like he does everything that the public sector does. >> the point is, the point is, is that this government has decided to backtrack on it and say, we're going to start giving out, you know, stuff, giving out the drugs to make kids. >> i don't know if the government actually has, but the bma, the british medical association, the british medical union for doctors, has recommended that we start giving kids puberty blockers again, puberty blockers again. >> and so there's been an open letter. we don't know who is it from, how many people it's from. it's open. it's how many people signed it . it's open. it's how many people signed it. how many people signed it. how many people signed it. how many people signed it. there are 195,000 people. >> steve, you're good at brainy stuff. >> oh, i love about this is the number of times i've been sat there hosting, having to explain there hosting, having to explain the story because lewis isn't doing it. and it's just nice to sit here just watching it happen somewhere else. he thinks the

government's decided to dish out some. >> yes it is. »- >> yes it is. >> it is all the things it is, it is. >> they've said they went to the british medical authority and say if you want your 22% increase in pay, you better go along with us. and that's how it works in this country. it is too small. everybody's got their fingers around each other's neck. explain it. >> i agree with that. well, we've got the daily meal now and far left anti—israel thugs have targeted a children's science eventin targeted a children's science event in a theatre . louis. event in a theatre. louis. >> yes. this is. parents have been left furious after pro—palestinian protesters interrupted a children's science show at a theatre in wimbledon. this isn't even like a jew day parade or something. i don't know what kind of parade there would be. this is just like a bog standard science show with traditional jewish holidays at the big theatre in wimbledon. you've played it, haven't you? played it? yeah, and i was there . played it? yeah, and i was there. i saw ed byrne, i did a ed byrne. you did a protest . were byrne. you did a protest. were you there screaming about about palestine anyway, so they're supporting the gaza people. the gaza people are lovely people. if you know, if gaza happened in this country, they'd tell us the

story. the story is they made a big stink. so for 30 minutes they were shouting and the little children, they were crying because they said, what the hell? >> they made the little kids cry. >> i mean, steve, surely that's out of order. you know, whatever your cause, even if your cause is, you know, the eradication of israel and the jews and the jews, it's still bad to make children cry. >> not only that , this will have >> not only that, this will have persuaded no one. what a great way to make sure no one's now on your side. everyone in that room. you're not going to go. do you know what? my kids have been traumatised. but you've really made some good points. but i will say they interrupted a science show. so you probably like that because you hate science, so no, i no no no, you hate science. >> i like i like real science, you hate science and you also like making kids cry. the truth is, the truth is this is like right now you're seeing the people who are fighting for gaza , people who are fighting for gaza, making people hate them. you're seeing the demonstrations in the street this week, making people hate on both sides. so sometimes it can go wrong. >> yeah, yeah . activists are >> yeah, yeah. activists are usually the worst thing for the

cause. the times now and british women aren't having enough babies in this article reveals why steve. >> yeah, a motherhood penalty apparently driving women to have fewer children . women are not fewer children. women are not having as many children as they would want because of this. quote marks motherhood penalty. it's basically the cost of having kids. plus, also the impact on your career. is this the times coming out against the two child benefit cap? oh it's the latest figures say the last time we had a replacement rate of births was in the 70s. wow. and since then we've not been popping and since then we've not been popping out enough. sprogs i'm the wrong guy to speak to because i've knocked out a couple of kids already. so, my sexiness overcame the motherhood penalty. but even that , even penalty. but even that, even having two kids isn't quite enough because the replacement rate is 2.12.1. you've got 2.1 kids overshoots all the way up to three just to make up for all those other people. >> just having two. >> just having two. >> now, the problem is, is that cats are too delicious. they just are just they're great to hang around with. why do you need a kid when you've got cats? this is a lie. a lie, a lie. they've been selling low birth rates since time immemorial.

they've been telling women to have kids later and later. yeah, they have, and they've been saying, oh, your career, you can do everything they've made taylor swift such a big star. you could be taylor swift . she's you could be taylor swift. she's 34 years old. i'm going to take bets. she has no children. >> yeah, well, a lot of hollywood celebrities don't. and then they just buy them from, you know , africa or whatever it you know, africa or whatever it seems seems to be. and then, you know, the kid thinks it's coming for a great life in hollywood. and then six months in, it gets transitioned. it's horrific. but i mean, the reasons they give here are a lack of financial support for new mothers, the high cost of childcare and the housing crisis. and the housing crisis is an interesting one because of course, our governments bring in you know, we have mass migration, you know, 1.2 million people arriving every year to make up and more than make up for the lack of people having babies. but bringing in, more people at that pushes up the cost of housing. so it actually means the people here are less likely to have babies. >> and the theory is you're totally, totally right. the theory is, is that small people, mothers have children based on how much space they have. and

when they were living in the fields and whatever forest, there was plenty of room . okay. there was plenty of room. okay. and they had kids. and right now, when they live in a small and that's why when they say we're building council houses, when those horrible people in southwark horrible people in southwark horrible people in southwark , literally no idea southwark, literally no idea what tangent you went off on there. >> we've got the telegraph now and just stop oil are now so unpopular that even their millionaire backer, dale vince, is disowning them. lewis. >> yeah, this guy here, former top just stop oil donor, turns on green campaigners. he's the guy who's been giving them money and saying, hey, go sit in the street. everything's going to be all right. he's he should be in the street with them and get arrested. but no, the guy makes 936 something. how much? £39 million. he makes £39 million. >> his company, he's got a net worth of well over £100 million. >> yes, exactly. and he's saying i think you're going too far. of course he's going. of course they're going too far because he's a huge labor party. he's gotten what he wants out of it. he's gotten an in with the, you know, after all that, can you just tell us the story briefly? the story is, is that he's that this guy, this dale vincent. he

does not he says no , no, no. does not he says no, no, no. >> maybe i'll ask steve to tell us the story. >> tell the story. no. he said, let me see if i know what it is. he. sorry, steve. >> no, you go for it. i'm going to. i'm going to read it as you say it. it's. i'll check. >> he wants he they they were fighting for no new oil. you know. investigation just stop oil just stop oil and now they're moving into oil extraction by 2030, which is ridiculous. and he says, no, we can't do that because he's going to go bankrupt or whatever. >> so he's now saying after, you know, pumping loads of money into just stop oil, he's now saying they've gone too far, basically. yeah. >> it's an interesting point where he says, like the original goal was to just stop exploration and you've got a labour government into it stopped. so if it stopped , stop stopped. so if it stopped, stop messing up flights out of heathrow every three days. yeah yeah. >> why he goes to his island. he probably has an island with this much money. he's not down in muscat. whatever it is down there getting a tui flight out of heathrow. no, he's got his own problem. he has his own jet. >> he's got a sports car. >> he's got a sports car. >> he's got a sports car. >> he probably does. i bet he has got all that stuff. this guy

i don't like him. >> well, you know, i don't particularly like him either. and also, for all the money that he gives to labour, he give £5 million to labour in the 12 months before the election. but then he gets subsidies back from then he gets subsidies back from the government. so this is just an energy baron . this is just an energy baron. this is just business. the way business lobbying has always worked, its funding has always worked. >> like the guy who said something racist, they gave 10 million to the tories but was making hundreds of millions back from nhs contracts. both parties, the corruption is that's the biggest problem here, that's the biggest problem here, that the money is just making extra money go back to their pockets. well, oh, we'll give you 10 million and then trouser another 100. >> no it's, it's not just the money. labour and the tories are amoral. both of them together. >> exactly what steve just said. anyway, just the final section to go , and it's an apocalypse to go, and it's an apocalypse special. join us for facial recognition technology and the weapons you'll need to survive coming civil war. plus a bit of strictly. see you in moment.

>>

i. >> hate ..- >> hate it. .._ >> hate it. here. i. >> hate it. here. welcome back. >> hate it. here. welcome back. >> the final section of headliners. and this is a story about the facial recognition technology that's going to become coming to steve. yeah. >> the technology in people's minds uk. right. jobs don't fear cctv. but they should fear they should be terrified of super recognisers a super recogniser is just someone who never forgets a face. for the record, i'm not a super recogniser. i'm terrible with faces and names. even with people i know well and work with i can't even like most days. if i see a tweet of schaefer, i think epstein is still alive. i'm not. i'm not great at recognising people, but some people have this gift. >> apparently impressed you thought lewis was alive? >> the barely i could just. >> the barely i could just. >> when have you seen a picture of me on these tweets? they're all pictures of me eating meat. yeah, it's all on holiday with your shirt off. >> did you see the one with his shirt off? yeah, i did, puts you right off meat, which is weird, >> anyway, did i look good, though? did i look good?

>> put me off buying anything that was like, did i look. that was been cellophane. >> did i look pretty good for a lamb? tell us the story. >> and so they've got all the cctv, but that's not good enough. you need to identify. and some people have this gift where they can recognise a face and they can just matter how briefly they saw it. they say here, even from grainy cctv footage, i'm not sure that makes any sense. if you can't actually see the face, how can you recognise the face? but that's it. so what will they do? they'll start covering their faces. it seems like that's not that difficult to solve this one, is it? i mean, it's quite an interesting. >> yeah. people get those glasses with a fake nose on them loose. yeah. >> or they or they wear masks. yeah. you see all the kids wearing, they're all wearing masks now. >> yeah. no, they are, they are. and i mean this is quite an interesting sort of low tech solution to to, this. i mean i'd have thought they'd have i mean google photos can recognise, you know, a picture of me, a picture of, you know, whoever else. >> well, why are they putting out this information? because they want us afraid. they want they want us afraid. they want the british people to be afraid to go out. they say, if you're going to go out and cause trouble, we're going to we're going to recognise you. that's that's all this is, every single

story. >> speaking of being afraid, we've got the daily star again and this time it's got the list of gear you'll need to survive the coming lebanese style civil war in britain. >> lewis, i don't think lebanese style civil war is going to be as bad as the stuff that's happening here. no i agree, i think i think lebanon would be like a cakewalk because people fought there. and i think here people are just going to they're going to it's going to be a counter revolution where they're just going to crush, they're going to crush anyway. >> tell us the story. >> tell us the story. >> crossbows and survival gear become uk prepper shop best sellers, says owners with says owner with a plan. this is this is a prepper shop. in this country. you can't believe it. it's a tiny little country. >> i'm thinking preppers are people who are getting ready for some kind of apocalypse. >> yes, this is going to be a growth industry. yes, because i'm totally scared. scared out of my mind. you know, i'm not not not some muscly stephen allen. i'm scared. >> so can you just say, why do you think the last story was there to scare you? but you don't think this guy's just flogging kit by saying, have you bought all your prepping goods because you know. oh, no, i've got a prepping shop. if you want to buy some prep.

>> no, i don't find this scary. >> no, i don't find this scary. >> the same newspaper as well. yeah. >> he's making money out of this by going, well, you don't have any. you don't have a crossbow? yeah. of course, all of a sudden, if he tells you that everyone's buying a crossbow, you think i'd better get myself getting a crossbow? but, steve, we have seen in other countries, i mean, lebanon, in the balkans, for example, we've seen the same inter—ethnic conflict , inter—ethnic conflict, inter—religious conflict descend into , into genocide. into, into genocide. >> so people i can understand why people would want to stock up. but why is bottled water? you want to stay hydrated while you're being genocided? >> this is in the. this is in the daily star. >> this is in the. this is in the daily star . the point >> this is in the. this is in the daily star. the point is, is that this happened in this country too. people forget. people forget. they say there's always there'll always be an england. there was once a time there was no england. there was only a britain, and then the angles and the saxons and the jutes . they they moved in, they jutes. they they moved in, they moved in and took over and they pushed the british people into wales. and that's what that's what's happening in this country. i'm not saying it's bad. i mean, i know a lot of engush bad. i mean, i know a lot of english people and some of them should just. >> yeah, but i mean, it's different from i mean, historically the immigration into britain has been from

nearby countries. so the vikings, i guarantee you they were christian, maybe not the vikings, but you know , we've had vikings, but you know, we've had people with similar cultures. >> i don't think they found it that way. i don't think the welsh who were forced off their land, they're not they weren't welsh at the time. they were forced to live in the wettest mountainous area . mountainous area. >> yield the preppy shop. >> yield the preppy shop. >> yeah, yeah , they could have >> yeah, yeah, they could have had that. >> they'd have got all the kids they should have. >> maybe this is why the prep shopis >> maybe this is why the prep shop is in. is in wales. >> okay. we've got the sun now and nobody's signing up to strictly. do you think the show is done, steve? >> yeah. no, because it's the most pointless story. but so massive blow for strictly come dancing as bbc show manages to sign just six women amid bullying scandal. sign just six women amid bullying scandal . however, bullying scandal. however, previously it would have been , previously it would have been, like two more women would have made it balance. are you telling me that in all of media you can't find two female celebrities wanting to relaunch their career willing to be shouted out by an italian? i'm sure like later in the year we'll get i'm a celebrity. there will be people willing to chomp

down on kangaroo ball just to relaunch their career. they would be willing to do this. if you want someone who's desperate to restart their career, just look at the panel on mark dolan show. you can euros shots fired . show. you can euros shots fired. oh my god. >> you're sitting next to louis schaefer right now. >> steve. yeah. >> steve. yeah. >> what about me? asked me to be on the show. i'll be a woman for the show. that way i won't. will ihave the show. that way i won't. will i have to pay my license fee if i'm on this show ? yeah. i don't i'm on this show? yeah. i don't even know what this show is. it's about strictly come dancing . it's about strictly come dancing. it's about strictly come dancing. it's about strictly come dancing. it's about people dancing. 1. i can't watch it because i don't pay my can't watch it because i don't pay my licence fee. >> well, let's quickly squeeze this story in. it's the telegraph with a recruiter who's been fired over boasts about her sex life. but on the plus side , sex life. but on the plus side, she's a recruiter, so she should be able to get herself a new job. steve. >> yes, this is great. so she says you've given the headline away and the judge says the recruiter readily participated in conversations of a sexual nature, and she will find a new job because i've asked her if she wants to be hired just to do admin around my little home office, you never know. but she says that she was asked too many

questions, and what she thought she'd do about her sex life. about her sex life. she thought she'd put people off by giving them loads of detail. that works, doesn't it? i don't know if you've ever. it does feel like someone's sexual urge. >> it does feel like she's sort of been she's guilty of entrapment here because she's asked these questions. louis. and she she gave the answers. >> well, the point is, how old was she? >> well, she was old enough to have sex. she was in her late 20s, late 20s. >> wait till she gets a bit older. then she'll want people to pay attention to her. i think she already does want people to pay she already does want people to pay attention to her. is that what it is? i didn't read the story because we never we never actually. >> it's basically about i mean, you read the earlier one, the story beforehand, but i, i deliberately i deliberately never read this in that last story. the female version of you talks to other people they work with about sex too much. >> so she was penalised. she was penalised . penalised. >> okay, well, the show is nearly over, thank god. so let's take another quick look at thursday's front pages. the daily mail leads with knight anti—hate marchers face down the thugs. the times says thousands take to the street to confront

the far right. the telegraph has britain shuts up shop over riots threat. the i news has far right rioters face football ban as ministers bid to kerb unrest. the metro has putin's pawns stoking riots and finally, the daily star has. you've really hurt our feelings and those we are front pages and that's it for tonight's show. thank you to steve and louis andrew doyle will be here tomorrow at 11 pm. with josh howie and cressida wetton. and if you're watching at 5 am, stay tuned for breakfast until next time i see you. goodbye. >> send me a message . >> send me a message. >> send me a message. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on gb news. >> evening. welcome to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. tomorrow is going to feel pretty warm and humid and after a dry start for many it's going to turn dull with quite a few of us seeing outbreaks of rain and drizzle. not from this area of low pressure, but actually from this rather innocuous looking

set of weather fronts. the low to the north, though, is still providing some hefty showers across northern scotland. still pretty gusty here as well. a blustery night across the far north elsewhere , the winds are north elsewhere, the winds are easing. there'll be some clearer spells, a few showers across northern england, but they're tending to fade and then we'll see the cloud, rain and drizzle spilling into south wales and southwest england later in the night. quite a warm night here elsewhere, with some clearer skies. temperatures, certainly rural spots could dip down to single figures, so for many it is a bright start to thursday. there'll be some sunshine around , there'll be some sunshine around, still quite gusty across the far north of scotland, with a few showers, but for much of scotland looking drier tomorrow with some decent spells of sunshine , we'll cloud over sunshine, we'll cloud over across the southwest as the cloud and rain spills into northwest england and parts of the south of northern ireland. a very different day for wales and southwest england tomorrow. a lot of cloud rain and drizzle on and off for much of the day, particularly over hills and around the coasts, whereas the midlands and eastern england, after a dry fine start, will

just steadily cloud over rain trickling into parts of the midlands , spreading across more midlands, spreading across more northern parts of england, some heavier bursts of rain possible later in the day. not much rain for east anglia in the south—east, just turning cloudy here and the far north—east of scotland also mostly dry temperatures 1920, maybe a little higher in the south—east. it is going to feel really quite warm and humid. however, the rain and drizzle will be still across the south early on friday, but it should scoot away. showers in the northwest. but for many, friday's set fair a much brighter day for wales and southwest england for sure, with some good spells of sunshine and a fresher feel. showery rain on saturday and it is likely to hot up again as we go through the weekend . go through the weekend. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar, sponsors of weather on gb news

of police in a generation, as britain braced for 100 anti—immigration protests in an unprecedented move, king charles asked the government for daily updates on the demonstrations as tensions remain high. stormont gears up as northern ireland assembly is recalled today, heaping pressure on sir keir starmer to follow suit after this year's strictly come dancing line up failed to impress. >> we're asking whether it's time the bbc draws the curtains on its prime time show and in the sport, with the olympics, of course, another british record and another silver medallist, matthew hudson—smith, comes second in the 400m in the velodrome, silver and bronze in the men's and women's team pursuit, and 51 year old andy

mcdonald performed admirably,
