>> forward slash alerts. >> forward slash alerts. >> hello and welcome to headliners, your first look at saturday's newspapers with three comedians. >> i'm andrew doyle tonight i'm joined by headliners colossus leo kearse and his hired goon jonathan kogan hired goon. yeah. hired goon. >> i have spent all day gooning in my goon cave, but i wouldn't say i'm more of a sort of work experience. >> part time goon. part time goon. >> i should have been more specific. how are you, leo.7 >> i'm good. i don't even know what gooning is. >> well, it's not really a scottish thing. >> the whole gooning, everyone should look it up and just write in. >> yeah. absolutely nothing to do with the goonies by the way. no, no, they weren't goons. >> no. they were. i need to see that for tellies. >> they were very good, that's all i know. >> i haven't seen it. i'm way too hot in this light. look at me. i look good there. >> you do look wonderful. okay, let's have a look at the front pages before we crack on. the daily mail is leading with bbc tells the villain who hand back £200,000 of pay. the express

says king calls for unity in wake of riots and the times is leading with king hails riots response and the telegraph has king calls for unity in the wake of riots. same headline the guardian universities face tipping point as money runs out. oh dear. and finally, the daily star just want to buy some paperclips. that's about stealing from work, apparently, which none of us would ever do. those were your front pages . those were your front pages. what are we going to kick off with.7 saturday's express and leo has the details. >> so the king calls for unity in the wake of riots. >> so the king is praised. britain's community spirit in the face of the riots. he said he really enjoyed watching them and he hopes everybody had fun. no, i mean, i think he's i think he's coming out to condemn them. i mean, it's quite it's a bit late in he. yeah, it's a bit late. >> it's been going on for a while now. >> we could have done with these words, you know, when the riots were kicking off. keir starmer

should have given these words when the riot was kicking off. instead of just coming out and inflaming the situation and condemning one side and not acknowledging that anybody might have a legitimate grievance, that now children have been killed in belfast. >> apparently, if you observe the riots, that's sufficient to get you arrested. yeah. was the king just observing this week? is that the point? >> and without bail as well, which is really a form of punishment, considering huw edwards got bail to return home in bury. whatever else he's got in bury. whatever else he's got in his garden. sorry, sorry. >> if you're just observing, watching in the streets. yes. not even if you like. throw a can through a window. if you're just standing there. yes, that. but that's insane. >> and does the person i mean obviously you should be writing, but to watch, does the person who's observing, that person who's observing, that person who's observing, that person who's observing, did they get in trouble as well, ad infinitum? >> so what what worries me about all of this? they seem to be introducing a lot of new rules. we all knew what the rules were, right? so if you break the law, you get prosecuted, which i'm all for. i think if you're going to cause riots and smash stuff up, you should be prosecuted. i think if you're walking by for blm, i mean, if like somebody killed, if somebody killed a black criminal in another country, yes. >> then for some reason that's

absolutely fine. if he if he dies, you know , resisting dies, you know, resisting arrest, then. >> yeah. but you see, i was always consistent for some reason. >> that's an innocent victim. >> that's an innocent victim. >> no, those people should also be arrested. that's the just rioters. generally. i don't care if you're on the left, on the right, or wherever the hell you are, but we all knew what the rules were, and now they're talking about sort of revising various online safety bill, you know, nonsense. and they're talking about you can get arrested if you go to the bingo and you walk past. yeah creeping authoritarianism. i mean, it really, i think something very sinister is happening now. >> and it feels like the way that they're, showing people's faces and names, i think when they've just been arrested before, they've been charged and they're rushing through. they're doing these 24 hour courts. so they rushed through the sentencing and everything. so the person doesn't have time to brief a solicitor or prepare a defence or anything like that, leave their internet history. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> like it's i think there will be a lot of appeals against these sentences because, you know, three years for posting nasty stuff on facebook. i mean, yeah, they shouldn't. the wallies shouldn't be posting nasty stuff, shouldn't be inciting. any violence or anything like that. that's

that's obviously a terrible thing to do. but considering some of the sentences, the same police forces, the same judges have handed out to , to, you have handed out to, to, you know, sex offenders and stuff like that. i mean , it's like that. i mean, it's ridiculous. it's another example of two tier justice in this country. >> jonathan, the thing about all of this is i've seen again and again, historically speaking, whenever there are things like this , certain types of this, certain types of government will exploit them in order to push through further censorship and further authoritarianism. and by the way, just to be clear, i'm not justifying any of the riots. i think those people should be prosecuted. but these changes to the law and all the rest of it, you've seen it before. when we had the murder of david amess, they started talking about let's crack down on online speech, even though this was to do with, islamic terror. nothing to do with mean tweets. well i think we saw a lot of it. a degree of opportunism is what i'm saying. >> i totally agree, and i think we saw a lot of it during covid with, you know, all the, wasn't this originally brought in to try and quell that? the misinformation during the covid era, like. and then rishi said, no, i can't fully remember. it's a long time ago i was on a lot

of drugs. but yeah, that does seem to be this creeping authoritarianism. and as well, neven authoritarianism. and as well, never, never waste a good crisis. no. >> absolutely. okay. well, we're going to move on now to the front cover of saturday's guardian. jonathan, what are they running with? >> they are running with universities. face tipping point as money runs out. boohoo. so engush as money runs out. boohoo. so english universities face a tipping point this autumn that could push some into financial crisis, according to vice chancellors, who say urgent intervention may be needed to stop institutions going under the visa modifications means that we no longer have so many. >> we've had a radical drop in foreign by about a third, i think, and foreign students do pay think, and foreign students do pay something like four times as much as domestic students. so this will hit universities hard. presumably that's to do with agree. >> i know, i think that is a considerable part of it, but i think there also might be students, not necessarily wanting to go to university isn't all it's cracked up . well, isn't all it's cracked up. well, i think, i think i think we've seen a lot of that, you know, a lot of first of all, we've seen a lot of mickey mouse degrees, people paying for not getting paid afterwards. we'll come back to that later. we've also seen these institutions sort of

becoming protests cretin factories. yeah. i mean, that is true, isn't it, leo? >> creating factories might be a strong way of putting it, but you know, it has become a hotbed of activism and people used to go for knowledge and the pursuit of truth , not waving placards of truth, not waving placards and dyeing your hair pink. yeah. >> no. you get taught what to think rather than than sort of how to to how think. yeah. and i don't understand what they need money for. how much money do you need for a bunch of sort of smelly communists to sit around giving people terrible ideas? >> do you think universities are now overrated? they were overrated. >> years ago when i went to you, you went to university. university and i couldn't. >> you got diddle by the doctor there, i couldn't, yeah. >> did you got what you got. >> did you got what you got. >> you got diddle by the university doctor in what way. >> what do you mean, >> what do you mean, >> in the classic way, as in tncked >> in the classic way, as in tricked or no, sexually assaulted. >> but it's a funny story. so, my man, i'm really glad jonathan brought up like we're not an alley. >> okay? >> okay? >> no, it's a doctor. what was the name? alan buchan. i think it was at stirling university. you can google it. i didn't know i'd been diddled. i only found out afterwards when you weren't allowed to say this stuff. >> this isn't like some

libellous thing. >> this is. no, this is it's in the papers he got. he got convicted for it. not for me though. i didn't. i didn't even know i just thought i just thought he had to check my. >> where did he touch you, leo? with the doctor. >> you wouldn't know because they do. they are quite intimate. that's part of the job, right? >> you trust them. but then there is somebody who went back like three times, each time with a different ailment, and each time got their testicles filled. and then they were like, well, what's his name, doctor? alan? >> doctor . >> doctor. >> doctor. >> no, no, no, no, i think he wants to. anyway, let's, let's. >> you're teaching it. >> you're teaching it. >> we're moving on. move on. because that went in a direction i didn't anticipate, like his appointment. let's let's try and focus on the financial times. we don't normally do the financial times, but leo is particularly interested in one of the stories. what's the front cover story? you're you're attracted to? >> so this is the war in ukraine, which is still going on, even though, you know, obviously some something like this is, is it simmers is off the front pages a lot, but the battle rages in russia now as kyiv advances in the war's largest counter incursion. so ukrainian forces who are, you know, defending their own defending borders on their own land, the russians are on their

own land and occupying ukraine. ukraine has actually gone into russia. and the kursk region and sees 350km2 and done a huge amount of damage. we've seen these sort of cross cross—border , these sort of cross cross—border, excursions before. usually they for last a couple of days, you know, they plant a flag or whatever and come back and it's usually russian nationalists fighting, you know, for ukraine and this, this time it's actual ukrainian troops. it's a strange move because the, the, the ukrainian front is collapsing on other parts of the, the border. so those troops are really needed elsewhere. but they have seized a gas transit hub that bnngs seized a gas transit hub that brings gas to to, europe. that's probably going to be a lot of leverage if they have any, any talks. so this is they're on their way to seize a nuclear power station. so that's a big deal >> do you think this could actually be some kind of turning point? because we often hear about these incursions going back and forth, but it all kind of balances out. >> at the start i thought it was silly, but you know, ukraine is really good. you know, doing quite smart things. and i think i think they're also luring russian troops into a trap they've already slaughtered like

hundreds of russian troops. they took out two columns of russian, russian vehicles and their soldiers who are going to ukraine to, you know, rape and kill. so don't feel too sorry for them. >> jonathan. >> jonathan. >> yeah, i'm just wondering when it's gonna hopefully, eventually reach a peaceful solution. well, i mean, we're all we all just get along. >> we all want. >> we all want. >> yeah. i mean, it does seem like a they've made some real ground here, but i don't know what that would mean in the grand scheme of things, but no. >> well who does. okay. we're going to move on now to this story. this is on the front cover of the eye news. jonathan your favourite paper? >> yes, my favourite paper. we normally do a fun one for section four, but. well, it's the eye. not today spell. yeah, true. okay, so the headline is reeves eyes. fuel duty. fuel duty. hike in budget. but voters are opposed. so it's an odd headune are opposed. so it's an odd headline that reeves eyes. >> they're using eyes as a verb . >> they're using eyes as a verb. >> they're using eyes as a verb. >> eyes? two eyes using. >> eyes? two eyes using. >> what's she eyeing ? >> what's she eyeing? >> what's she eyeing? >> she was. she's eyeing up the possibility of filling a massive deficit that the tories have left in the budget, and she wants to do that by potentially increasing the levy . which on

increasing the levy. which on gas or what do we call it ? gas or what do we call it? petrol. we call it petrol. i can't remember is this the, the 20 billion black hole? >> that is a black hole. she didn't notice. she didn't she didn't notice. she didn't she didn't notice. she didn't she didn't notice it even though it was a the labour party were alerted to this before they wrote the manifesto, but it suddenly hit them. yeah. weird innit . innit. >> and there's access to the same documents and the same advisers. >> oh yeah , they were told. but >> oh yeah, they were told. but if you. she must have forgotten. >> but if you're back benching you're not going to like. >> no, she's got to remember give her a break. i mean so what. so basically they're going to well they want to but hiking pnces to well they want to but hiking prices the voters are very against this and yeah basically people are saying, well, you know, people have the cost of living crisis, all that stuff. >> this is just another thing that's going to, attack the less well paid massive budget and they're going to bloat the pubuc they're going to bloat the public sector as well. >> so there were plans to slash the civil service by 60,000 because, you know, they took on extra staff during covid, which were unnecessary then or definitely unnecessary now. and, you know, really we need a javier milei to come in and just completely slash the public sector. but labour know that

they can buy votes by, by hiring more public sector workers. if you look at all the supposedly anti—fascist protesters, they're all public sector workers. this is all we're living in a communist state. >> yeah, well, we need that bonfire of the quangos . it's bonfire of the quangos. it's overdue. yeah. particularly take a hammer to the civil service. yeah.i a hammer to the civil service. yeah. i mean, it's completely captured. ridiculous. anyway that's all we've got time for in this section. but coming up in part two, but the latest on social media censorship, a potential uk blasphemy law and kamala harris has agreed to do an

welcome back to headliners. it's your first look at saturday's newspapers with me , andrew newspapers with me, andrew doyle. and i'm joined by leo kearse and jonathan kogan. so we're going to begin this section with saturday's telegraph. and keir starmer is playing david to the goliaths of tech. >> so tech giants will be forced

to ban fake news under labour plans so firms could be required to suppress posts even if they're not illegal. this relates to fake news and also legal but harmful content. so this is the potential crackdown on tech companies would form part of a review of the online safety act, which was passed last year and was already quite controversial and quite, you know, it's so like all the all this legislation around hate crime and all that sort of stuff, it's so badly worded, vaguely worded, that phrase legal but harmful. >> i mean, we have to be honest, that did come from the tories. this whole online safety act came from the tories . labour are came from the tories. labour are just sort of beefing it up a bit in their very authoritarian way. the old schofield thing, unwise but not illegal. >> was that not an equivalent? >> was that not an equivalent? >> it's not the same jonathan i worry about legal but harmful because basically that's all your tweets. >> leo yeah , anything could be >> leo yeah, anything could be perceived as harmful. >> what about, you know, something that's, like parachute lessons that you're watching on youtube because people die when they're parachuting or they do horse riding. so that could be seen as something that needs to be shut down some how to prepare a martini because alcohol is

harmful. >> why don't we just have the distinction of legal and illegal? >> absolutely. all we need. >> absolutely. all we need. >> of course, that worked for ages and what about satire? what about, useful speculation? i know a lot of, you know, a lot of speculation can be harmful. and also, what about labour's misinformation? i mean, david lammy said that men can grow a cervix and men cannot grow a cervix. so there might be men out there because they've listened to david lammy at home eating hormones, desperately trying to grow a cervix. >> yeah, it's a difficult one. >> yeah, it's a difficult one. >> the whole cervix growing thing. jonathan, are you worried about this? yeah, absolutely. >> i think anything where there's a very, nebulous definition of what harmful could be, it's only going to be used. you know, we'd hope it would be used properly. or if at all. but it's only going to be used to censor speech. >> but anything could be harmful . >> but anything could be harmful. >> but anything could be harmful. >> yeah, like horror films. >> yeah, like horror films. >> you're talking about emotional horror films. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> that's basically anything like i could be harmed by this mug. i could be traumatised because maybe someone threw a mug at me once, which they actually did. >> yeah, that could be harm, because jonathan brought up a traumatic experience from my youth. >> he did. he did that just five minutes ago. yeah.

>> we're essentially becoming a really rubbish version of china. so, you know, china has all this controls over what people can say, but it's in aid of national unity and national pride instead of in the uk is to wipe out national unity and to wipe out national unity and to wipe out national pride. >> and we don't have the productivity and other stuff. >> what they do is they bring out laws that are so ridiculous, everybody has broken them, which this essentially is, and then you can just pick and choose who you can just pick and choose who you want to punish. >> do we have to leave the country? >> what are we going to go? >> what are we going to go? >> i don't know, some well, just somewhere where, you know, we're allowed freedom of speech. that old chestnut, the americas. well, who knows? they have a first amendment, so they want ahead of us. anyway, let's move on to the daily mail. labour. now, more good news on the free speech front. the thinking of some sweet little blasphemy laws. what's going on here? >> i goshdarn hope not. that'd be awful. so there we go. started already. labour warned against introducing a blasphemy law by adopting an official definition of islamophobia after far right riots. so as it stands in law enshrined in law, there

isn't currently an official legally binding definition of islamophobia in the uk. however, the labour government are trying to define one and enshrine it into law. but the worry is here that by enshrining such a term, they are also going to either accidentally or on purpose . have accidentally or on purpose. have you look at it be bringing in blasphemy laws by they've already did this. >> they had this all party parliamentary group looking at what it should be, and it was something along the lines of muslimness or perceived muslimness, which is such a bizarre phrase. the other thing, again, like all of this stuff, this was a cross—party thing. this started with the tories. it's like all that labour are doing are taking the worst elements of what the tories have done, and just exacerbating them, just sending them through them, just sending them through the limit. we don't need this because what this because islamophobia is a nonsense term anyway, and what it tends to do is wrap up anti—muslim hatred. so the people genuinely who are just horrible to people if they see them dressed in burkas or whatever, and it conflates them with legitimate criticism or indeed mockery of religion, which we should be all allowed to do. >> am i wrong? absolutely. and

yeah, a lot of hate speech laws are stray into blasphemy laws because, you know, if anything is perceived to be hurtful, then it can be illegal. yeah. so yeah, i think i think if we want to, if we want to confront and demolish stereotypes, we need to clamp down on people who commit crimes that reinforce racial stereotypes. so, you know, if somebody does something that then reinforces a stereotype, that's the real hate crime. >> is that how you want to run things? yeah. can you give an example. >> that's a that's a that's an excellent idea. so, for example, if a scottish person is aggressive begging. yes. then they get twice as much time as they get twice as much time as they would, >> this is really, really worrying , >> this is really, really worrying, isn't >> this is really, really worrying , isn't it? >> this is really, really worrying, isn't it? i mean, ultimately no one wants. but the thing is that a lot of the crimes, they're worried about throwing a brick at a mosque. sure. pulling someone's burqa off in the street. those are already illegal. that's against the law. mocking a religion should never be against the law. if we're in a free country, we're not in a free country. apparently we're not. okay, let's move to on this story. this is the telegraph. now, more

troublemakers. what's this? >> so counter—protesters have been jailed after attacking white men wearing the union flag or union jack. >> so many . or union jack. >> so many. geri or union jack. >> so many . geri halliwell >> so many. geri halliwell hasn't left the house since . hasn't left the house since. >> is she still wearing that dress? >> it doesn't fit anymore. but no, she's. oh, god. look, look , no, she's. oh, god. look, look, i'm i'm i'm i'm all right. i'm mean. i'm chubby. i'm a chubby guy now. i'm a big, beautiful man. >> so two men have been assaulted in the shin bet louis. two men have been jailed for an attack on pro edl. they call them pro edl. edl. they founded them pro edl. edl. they founded the edl is disbanded. it was disbanded in 2013. these are basically english guys, english guys were being openly english. you're not allowed to be openly english. you've got to hide. hide your shame of being english. don't. don't show a flag. oh, my god, what do you think you are, some sort wrapped in a union jack? you belong to some sort of nation state. you don't. you belong to a beige blob . you belong to the blob. you belong to the uniparty. there's. you're not alone . other other people from alone. other other people from other countries. they're allowed a country in a nation state that

britain belongs to. everyone and nobody. but yes. >> so these are they did get arrested like the people to their credit. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> these are , muslim guys, a guy >> these are, muslim guys, a guy called gaffer. who attacked, attacked these men. and i saw the footage. it was horrible. they, you know, they beat them. it was a mob of them. there was only two of the two of the white guys that they attacked. so, you know, it was a it was a nasty, cowardly, you know, mob attack. and they kicked and beat them. and they kicked and beat them. and it was horrible, you know, whipped up by, whipped up by some of the lies spread by by labour and spread by hope, not hate. so will they be receiving a knock on the door from the police? oh, i don't i think you're allowed to break the law and spread misinformation if you're on the same side as the labour party. >> is that the rule, jonathan? yes. i mean, you know, we talk about two tier policing. this does show that the police are 100% seriously. >> i was going to say that because there's been a lot of, worry and discourse about how people aren't being treated equally, both sides of it. but here we're seeing that people have been arrested and convicted with the same, if not very

similar, tendencies. you're good.i similar, tendencies. you're good. i mean, again , like, just good. i mean, again, like, just apply the law. how it should be 100%. >> anyone wants just apply the law. equally, it doesn't matter who you are or where you come from, just apply the law and that will solve everything. would have solved everything back in the day of the grooming gang scandal. but you know, we learn our lessons, don't we? let's move on to this one. this is saturday's express. this is another story about starmer versus musk, who is nigel farage siding with? >> oh, he doesn't like to. weighed in on things he likes a quiet life. >> yeah. he's very, very quiet, >> yeah. he's very, very quiet, >> shy and retired. >> shy and retired. >> yeah. yeah, >> yeah. yeah, >> so nigel farage responds to elon musk after he made makes bold claim about the uk. >> what's the bold claim? >> what's the bold claim? >> so the bold claim, he has made is that, so elon musk is, farage said musk is asked the question, why did the uk media, with few exceptions, just parrot the government? i'd like to thank leo for finding it on the page and pointing it. >> thank you, i was lost, i just i know where it is. yeah. he was actually asking the question to me on twitter. >> was he. yeah. >> was he. yeah. >> oh yeah. i'm bezos with musk.

>> oh yeah. i'm bezos with musk. >> you're chatting with musk. oh yeah. >> no i saw that. musk. yeah, yeah yeah. >> hopefully can get me a visa for america. i can get it here walmart. >> so wait, so you've been having a chat with musk and the claim he made to you was what that. >> well, after he said no you can't borrow £20. he said he said why do the uk media, with a few exceptions, just parrot the government? >> okay. well that's a good question. yeah. i mean why why do they. >> well farage chimed in, and he basically said it was groupthink. he says when everyone gets together with groupthink and says open borders are fantastic. come on, everybody, we don't care. do his voice. we don't care whether you speak or not. simon evans, our shared values, we don't care about the population explosion. meaning our kids can't get help basically saying this is the groupthink. this is the ideology that most, politicians have , and that most, politicians have, and it's all very nice, but it's ignonng it's all very nice, but it's ignoring a reality. >> you know what'd be great? what we need is a channel where you get voices from different sides of the political spectrum to sit down and talk talk tv. >> well, yeah. >> well, yeah. >> i mean , the other issue with >> i mean, the other issue with thatis >> i mean, the other issue with that is labour will obviously look to shut down gb news. yeah,

i you think i can see it coming. i you think i can see it coming. i can see they're already making the noises because they don't want anybody to question them. they want the entire media class to come from the same cabal as themselves with the same opinions. >> it's really distressing. it's bothers bothers me that people on the left don't support what gb news is doing. you always get left wing voices on the shows. you always get right wing voices. that's the ideal, right? >> yeah, but left wing people will wake up when we do descend into venezuela, because freedom of speech is closely tied to freedom of economy. and, you know, the actual actual prosperity. so once people are eating their dogs, i think they'll think, well, wait a minute, maybe we should go back to having a free society. >> i'm feeling very pessimistic after tonight's show. nothing positive. let's see if we can do a positive story . a positive story. >> okay. >> okay. >> next. and this is from the daily mail. kamala harris. oh well, that blows down. what's this about? >> so kamal kamala harris said she will sit down for a media interview by the end of august after being repeatedly criticised by republicans for not doing one. and that's that's pretty much it. i mean, she's spending friday campaigning in

arizona as part of our battleground state tour with a running mate , tim waltz, who has running mate, tim waltz, who has been criticised. he was in the he was in the national guard, which is like, i think it's the army, but you just do america. so it's quite a safe bit of the army to do. >> territorial army. >> territorial army. >> yeah. right, so he was he was in the national guard for 20 years and then was informed it was being deployed for iraq and said, oh, wait a minute, i've decided i want to do this other thing now. >> okay. so he didn't like that it was a kind of dad's army situation. yeah. yeah. i'm not doing that, it's interesting, isn't it? because when whenever kamala harris goes off script and is caught off script, she's pretty terrible. yeah. >> it's like me. it's like, oh, well, you know, we could we've we've been encumbered by what comes i get it, i empathise. i'm look, i'm a white dude for harris. i'm a white dude. i'm white i don't know. well am i god lover. >> but yeah. don't let her do that interview. it'll be disastrous. that's it for part two. do join us after the break. we'll be discussing the bbc, trying to recoup cash. why british universities should a bit worried, and of bullying at the

welcome back to headliners. it's your first look at saturday's newspapers. we're going to start with the telegraph , the bbc with the telegraph, the bbc asking huw edwards for their money back. jonathan >> yes, yes they have asked for his money back. so bbc asks huw edwards to return more than £200,000 from salary. >> so big money paid to him after the charges. >> that is right. this after the charges. >> that is right . this is money >> that is right. this is money he took after the charges and they're saying he's taken it and behaved in bad faith. now they've asked for it back. not in any legal sense, but in a moral gesture . yeah. really? moral gesture. yeah. really? yeah, yeah, yeah. the bbc has said seriously, the bbc. yeah well they said the presenter has, has brought the bbc into disrepute and behaved in bad faith by continuing to take the money, >> wait a minute. legally they can't actually demand it back. >> i, i, i think so, yeah. >> as a display because people were saying, well the bbc shouldn't have paid him all this

money, but they kind of had to contractually, but they know they're not getting it back. right? | they're not getting it back. right? i don't i mean, unless you suddenly become a lot more moral than he's been up until now, i don't know, can he just click the thing that says he's paid it and then just watch iplayer? >> anyway, that's something else, i don't know. >> i like how they say he brought the bbc into disrepute. oh yeah, they had such a good reputation before that. he was the first one. >> they were doing pretty well. leo. >> i think they're going to send mr blobby round to collect it and break his thumbs. >> robbie okay, we're with the daily mail now. this is some, really disturbing news from iraq. what is going on? >> so iraq proposes lowering the legal age of marriage for girls to nine. so many iraqi marriages are conducted informally and unregistered. so the revisions would allow figures from sunni and shia religious sects to finalise unions between people in law. but critics fear that it will allow girls as young as nine and boys as young as 15 to marry, and under keir starmer you'd go to jail for islamophobia if you protested against it. but people are protesting against it in baghdad, which is probably an

even more dangerous place to protest than the uk is . protest than the uk is. >> this is because these are conservative. this is a conservative. this is a conservative coalition who are demanding this. yeah, but actually the people aren't happy about it. people really are protesting. yeah. so like we can look on and say, oh, that sounds really horrible and vile. but the people in the country don't want it. it's just a bunch of clerics. >> yeah. so this is this is conservative as in religious rather than. it's not like our conservatives who. no no, i got that rishi sunak be like right. >> no, no guys. >> no, no guys. >> yeah. maybe our lib dems, but not conservatives. >> so i mean jonathan that's really, disturbing. yeah. >> very disturbing . and it >> very disturbing. and it really i mean, we can all just hope that it doesn't be brought. can be brought in. i think it's because there's two islamophobic are very oh dang. >> but it does raise an important point, doesn't it? because people always go on about cultural relativism. you can't make judgements between cultures . you have to. sometimes cultures. you have to. sometimes certain cultural practices are worthy of judgement. i think i'm going to think that's fair to say and say some cultures are better than other cultures at certain things like this, or female genital mutilation, or

wrapping women up and beating them with sticks if they don't do what they're told. yeah, keir starmer is you're going to get three years for each one of those things on that list. is that islamophobia? >> yeah, that could that could genuinely be listed as that night. >> i don't think it's good that nine year olds are forced to marry is islamophobia. >> but i read in the guardian that it's actually, intersectional feminism for nine year olds to get married. is that right, >> let me check . >> let me check. >> let me check. >> yes, i think that's probably true. okay, let's move on, this is now the daily mail, and what's this is another gender story. what's this one about? >> so renowned paediatrician behind report demolishing nhs entire gender treatment model for children warns trans patients are being left to make their own mistakes by gender clinics. >> this is hilary cass. >> this is hilary cass. >> yes, who authored the cass review. and she's concerned now not just about the model for kids , but for adults, too. yeah. kids, but for adults, too. yeah. >> yeah, absolutely. so the concerns that she outlined were about patients being given hormone treatment on their second visit to the doctor. so after having one consultation,

beginning hormone treatment the second time they visit, and then a lot of the, reports done by these doctors were kind of boilerplate, not specific to the person or the, you know, the individual coming. yeah. so, yeah. so, you know , something yeah. so, you know, something like this should be very nuanced and specific to the person. >> i actually have to say. i mean, the way that doctor hilary cass has conducted herself with this whole thing, she's always so measured. she's always so polite. they say this is very robust, but by her standards, you know, she's just always kind of she just she knows what she's talking about. she spent years and years studying this and she's had to face all threats and all sorts of stuff. and also just things like the british medical association saying, oh, we should just ignore that. yeah.i we should just ignore that. yeah. i mean, it's crazy. >> this stuff. yeah. and doctors have written to the british medical association saying, you know, this association doesn't represent us, even though you know, it kind of does. but yeah, i say just just let them do it. the nhs is set up a detransitioning clinic where they can grow you a new penis and an egg. ardeche so yeah, just let people flip flop between the two genders as they see fit at this point i'm just

like, yeah, whatever you want to do, if you want to sterilise though. no, it's all the liberal liberal parents, kids. so you know, if liberals want to remove their dna from the gene pool and make their family tear families apart, is it it's not the kids fault that they're being raised in these terrible families. yeah. no absolutely not. but if i stop them, i'm a bad person . i stop them, i'm a bad person. so, yeah, sure. make your own mistakes. yeah. >> what do you make of this, jonathan, in terms of like adults as well? you know, because i mean, i've always said people should be free to do whatever they want with their own bodies. if they're an adult. on the other hand, you know, if i went to the doctor and said, i'd like part of my body removed. yeah for no other reason than it doesn't feel like it's innately a tattoo you got back in. >> i bet that's different. >> i bet that's different. >> i bet that's different. >> i do, i actually do want that removed, but, we're not going to talk about that. you know, i would still say the doctor has an ethical duty to say, actually, no, i'm not going to castrate you. i think that would be fair enough. >> yeah. no, no, i think i mean, especially jumping on these kind of treatments after one consultation. >> well, that's one of the things it says, isn't it? yeah.

and some kids had the same thing. they were put on hormones after just one meeting. yeah. that's not enough. like it's never enough. >> but even question it then it's literal trans genocide and you're an evil right wing bigot. it's amazing the things that make you a far right, in fact, anything to do with keeping kids safe makes you a far right bigot . safe makes you a far right bigot. >> it's not interesting these days. the world has changed anyway. we can move on now. the guardian very bad news for british universities. leo, what's going on? >> so the number applying to work or study in the uk falls by more than a third. so the people seeking skilled work, health and care or study visas drops to 91,300. in july . this is after 91,300. in july. this is after the kerbs introduced by the tories. still sounds like quite a lot. 91,000 in 1 month, plus whoever can can get here on some that floats. so the number has fallen, for health and care visas, it's fallen really dramatically. 82%, it's down 82% to 2900, while the number of people applying to study has fallen by just 15%. >> and the universities are they are struggling financially, they are struggling financially, they are struggling financially and

study study visas are often a sort of de facto working visa . sort of de facto working visa. >> or it certainly was when i appued >> or it certainly was when i applied for one to work in canada.i applied for one to work in canada. i mean, surely like we talk about immigration and people's concerns about unfettered immigration, but, you know, students studying for i mean, that seems like a reasonable thing to encourage. >> no, i would agree . but what >> no, i would agree. but what would be the reasoning behind people not wanting to apply now? because if they wanted to study, they wanted to study, right? so why would it necessarily make a difference if they could bring visas? no, no, they can get the visas. they can't bring their families over. >> yeah. that's the that's the thing that stopped because people obviously when you go to university the first thing you think is, oh, i need my mum and my dad and my uncle and my brothers and all the rest of it here. >> so washing machines are difficult. i don't know how to use them. >> you don't have freshers week without them, you know what mean? >> i know people who went to university in the furthest possible town away from where they grew up, because they wanted that independence. >> anyway, jonathan, look at this one. ministry of defence bullying. yes, shocking. >> very shocking. although it has gone down from previous years. but we'll get to that. so ministry of defence pays out £1.7 million to bullying,

harassment and discrimination claims last year. >> is that just because it's an army thing like you know, they have that culture of, you know, tough love? >> i mean, i think i think there will definitely be a very kind of sort of masculine extreme, not necessarily bullying, but like you know, banter. well, probably a lot of bullying as well. yeah. i think there will be a lot of that. you get that certainly more in the army than you would say. no. you get a lot in musical theatre. you get it everywhere in musical theatre. yeah i was going to do like the kind of but then like, i know some absolute biatches. >> but, yeah, there's a lot of bullying everywhere. i mean, what do you think, leo? i mean, is it is it i mean, obviously if people are being mistreated, then they should be, and it's sort of repercussions, groping and stuff like that. >> it's not i mean, yeah, that can't go on. >> yeah. it's a huge organisation, so i think we've got to take that into account. right. so, so actually 1.7 million is not that bad. i don't yeah.i million is not that bad. i don't yeah. i don't think it's, i don't think it's that bad. and i think you know, that's half of the military budget we've got. yeah well i don't think scotland's got a military budget, but we've got i literally don't think it does.

but we've got, you know, one of the best behaved militaries in the best behaved militaries in the world comparatively, one of the world comparatively, one of the best militaries in the world. so, so, yeah, i don't really see this as a huge issue. >> okay. >> okay. >> well, we've just got the final section to go, but do you stay with us for more news about politicians fighting elon musk? the lake district, with anti—social r , and bad news for arachnophobes don't go

welcome back to headliners. it's your first look at saturday's newspapers. we're going to begin this final section with the daily mail and, x is no longer welcome in venezuela . welcome in venezuela. >> yes, of venezuelan president nicolas maduro has blocked his country's access to x , which is country's access to x, which is what people call twitter now , what people call twitter now, for ten days after elon musk labelled him a dictator and a clown. so they've been at loggerheads. they've been arguing. i think they've been threatening violence at each other. you know, care here would send them down forever. these people would never, would never see the light of day again. but, maduro recently stole the

election. he was the, you know, the incumbent , the dictator, the incumbent, the dictator, president. he's a dictator, basically. and he. yeah, he just blatantly stole you get banned from venezuela on twitter . yeah. from venezuela on twitter. yeah. i don't mind this. it's the one place it's actually less free than than the uk. so i don't want to go there. but in a speech to pro—government groups, mr maduro said elon musk is the owner of x and has violated all the rules of the social network itself. he added that mr musk has incited hatred with his comments. the venezuelan leader also accused his opponents of using x to cause political unrest in the wake of his re—election. oh my god, does that remind you of anybody ? yes, that remind you of anybody? yes, it's exactly like keir starmer. what is it with these left wing? what is it with these left wing? what is it with these communist dictators? >> so anyone criticising who is inciting hatred? we have heard that before. >> i like, i like how he is, saying, well, how dare you call me a dictator? and just to prove that i'm not, i'm going to block twitter for ten days. >> well, like about this, like back in the old days, if you said something that got you in trouble on twitter, you get seven days, you get seven day ban, and now you've got a country giving twitter a ten day ban. it's like just one upmanship, isn't it? >> i mean, they're the highest

source of income. venezuela, is that right? i think so, yeah. well the advertising musk doesn't care, does he? >> of course not. he just says exactly what he wants. yeah. although we have heard recently haven't we like the, the crown prosecution service or the police here saying they might try and extradite, people from abroad, influencers who they perceive to be stirring up hatred. yeah. i'd like to see them go after musk. yeah, that would be kind of incredible. and he's also in some legal battles at the moment to with advertising cabals that, of course, have withdrawn advertising. >> so he's suing them and that could have big ramifications for free speech as well. >> i wonder if that will happen here because i think some companies over here are being boycotted. yeah. by advertisers. yeah. fair enough. yeah. i just heard somewhere on the grapevine. anyway, let's move on now. telegraph apparently some degrees aren't worth having . degrees aren't worth having. jonathan, do you regret your btec and clown studies? >> i went to lecoq. thank you. >> i went to lecoq. thank you. >> i went to lecoq. thank you. >> i know it's the french thing. >> i know it's the french thing. >> yeah, yeah, it's a and. oh, no. yeah, yeah that as well. so. okay. the mickey mouse degrees that could damage your career prospects , okay. so i've learned prospects, okay. so i've learned from this article that the average university degree leaves

graduates with £45,600 in debt. that's mental. that is a lot . that's mental. that is a lot. but some have even ballooned to as much as 230,000. and this is as much as 230,000. and this is a uk, not america, where it's completely insane. >> i had a full maintenance grant. i just left with some piddling student loan. it was brilliant. whereas these guy poor kids like they're leaving with all this. what's the point in going well? >> i mean, especially when these degrees are the worst of them being apparently, geography. yeah drama. >> drama is the number one. and so drama, they say the average salary is only 23,000. yes >> for an actor, a pretty good going. you're on. you're in full time work at that point. >> like if you're on profit share. yeah. fringe production. that's 23 grand's not bad. but then geography business studies, biomedical science. i'm annoyed about this though, because even engush about this though, because even english literature, apparently people are ending up with an average salary of 26 grand. that's a staple of uk academia. or it should be. >> yeah. and also stuff like biomedical science. yeah. can you be poor doing that's not a fun degree. that's not a mickey mouse degree. >> yeah. i mean it seems like a really odd mickey mouse over the

pandemic media studies or something, isn't it? it's not. which added, it's yeah, it's anything with the word studies. yeah.in anything with the word studies. yeah. in the title women study. >> yeah i know it's like but then again , this is the average then again, this is the average salary. i feel like a lot of people who study drama and engush people who study drama and english just didn't want to work. >> loads of my friends did drama. and they're doing actually no, they're not necessarily doing that well, but some of them are doing well. so i mean, i think this is really unfair. well, well, i don't know. >> i think just university is done. >> let's move on. leo, this is the telegraph. and what's this? this is a minus numpties ruining the lake district. yes. >> on mindless numpties are ruining the lake district. i thought numpties was a scottish term, but no, it's used here. >> yeah, english. all right. >> yeah, english. all right. >> cool. so, groups of fly campers. this is a new term . campers. this is a new term. it's like, i guess you get fly tippers. this is fly campers. they turn up. and because camping equipment is so cheap now , they just discard it and now, they just discard it and they have fires and they leave beer cans and all the rest. >> people do that at latitude. >> people do that at latitude. >> yeah, yeah, at a festival, though, it's. that's part of the ticket. >> someone has to clean it up. >> someone has to clean it up. >> yeah, they pay for it, but they pay, you know, some, some skivvies to come along and pick

it up for them. but in the lake district, there's nobody there's no paid hires coming in to pick the stuff up. so people are coming across, you know , rubbish coming across, you know, rubbish strewn around and frying pans and all the rest of it. when i was a kid going, going camping, i mean, tents cost a fortune. were very heavy. yeah. you definitely took your tent home with you. you didn't just discard it like a tenner now from argos. yeah, yeah . so from argos. yeah, yeah. so that's that's part of the part of the problem. and also i think people just aren't there even live streaming it on, on instagram or whatever on tiktok. >> we're just leaving it all. >> we're just leaving it all. >> yeah. and just like streaming their party. >> litterbugs. yeah i think bnng >> litterbugs. yeah i think bring back the death. >> leave no trace, guys. come on, burning man. leave no trace. >> i think this comes back to the like in the uk communal ground. you know, the common ground. you know, the common ground that used to graze your your sheep on or whatever. it's just people just treat it terribly. >> this tragedy of the commons. >> this tragedy of the commons. >> this tragedy of the commons. >> this is the tragedy of the commons. yes. >> i knew something people say, you know, oh yeah, whoever can just come, come here and wherever they can stay, wherever not in my house. >> private property still has value, but common ground has no value, but common ground has no value anymore. >> okay, well, we're going to move on to this grotesque story.

am. repeat, please do stay a.m. repeat, please do stay tuned because now it's time for breakfast. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news >> good evening. here's your latest gb news weather coming to you from the met office. things are going to hot up as we go through, particularly the latter part of this weekend , especially part of this weekend, especially in the southeast. but before then, tomorrow will be a bit cloudy and a bit damp for some of us because we are going to see a bit of a frontal wave pushing its way in, and that's going to lead to increasing amounts of cloud as we go through the rest of this evening and overnight. but ahead of that, some clearer skies and we're going to cling on to the clearer skies across eastern parts. but all the time, a few showers across parts of scotland still pushing through on relatively brisk winds in the west, where we have that cloud and that rain feeding in, temperatures aren't going to drop much. a bit fresher though , drop much. a bit fresher though, towards eastern parts where we have some clearer skies. so that cloud and any outbreaks of rain

will gradually make their way eastwards across england and wales. as we go through the day tomorrow. so whilst eastern parts will start off the day quite bright, it is going to turn a bit grey later on and watch out for some heavy rain over the hills towards the west as well. a brighter start a bit further north. lots of fine weather for northern ireland. just a few showers. similar for northwest england whilst across scotland there'll be quite a few showers around. perhaps something a little bit more persistent for a time. could be a little bit heavy and there will be some blustery winds, although the winds not quite as strong as they have been through today. largely grey, cloudy picture across much of england and wales through large chunks of the day. but we should start to see something a little bit brighter developing from the west later on as that all pushes away towards the east, temperatures are going to be a little bit higher than today across northern parts and feeling it with those lighter winds, but further towards the southeast, similar temperatures getting into the mid 20s now into sunday, there could be a fair bit of cloud across central southern parts for a time. perhaps the odd spot of rain, but otherwise it's looking

largely bright and a good deal of sunshine around. and with that, we are going to be dragging in some hotter air. so temperatures rising, high 20s on sunday. by monday we're looking at low 30s in the southeast, but the risk of thunderstorms for some by a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news
