slash alerts. >> hello and welcome to headliners. this is your first look at monday's top stories . look at monday's top stories. i'm cressida wetton and on my beautifully balanced comedian panel tonight we've got the calming influence of carrie marks. >> beautifully balanced and is that a banger in his pocket or is he just pleased to see us.7 >> it's the people's game and paul cox hello, are you beautifully balanced as well or just me, >> no. yes, i think i don't know, looking at us both, we're even, aren't we.7 >> even, aren't we? >> i think, yeah, reasonably. >> i think, yeah, reasonably. >> how balanced are you, chris, to create some difference between. >> i'm not balanced. i'm totally. >> i did love your start, though. >> hello? >> hello? >> yeah, i just met your neighbour again. >> very balanced. >> very balanced. >> hello, christopher. >> hello, christopher. >> covered everyone. >> covered everyone. >> oh, god, i'm so relaxed. it's exhausting. right. okay, that's enough of that. let's have a look at the front pages. the times goes with knock down pnces times goes with knock down prices for green belt to build on.the prices for green belt to build on. the daily mail has no more rioting in the name of our little girl. the express leads with exposed junior doctors plot to cripple nhs again. the guardian has far right used christian symbols and a fence to
2:03 am
faith, says welby. and the telegraph has cooper. uk has lost respect for the police. the mirror has mummy and daddy will always be with you . and those always be with you. and those were our front pages . okay, were our front pages. okay, starting with monday's guardian, paul, starting with monday's guardian, paul , i'm starting with monday's guardian, paul, i'm actually going to start with monday's telegraph. >> christa. but, not sure what's happening there. cooper uk has lost respect for the police, so riot show that people believe crime has no consequences, says home secretary. which of course is yvette cooper, who pledges to restore faith. public's faith in the law, as she warns, would be rioters. the streets will be flooded with officers. this week. so i mean , quite clearly week. so i mean, quite clearly there's been a lot of problems in in labour's first month and, you know, maybe not all their fault. i do feel this is sort of very easy, contrived politics from yvette cooper, largely because she picks one issue, she
2:04 am
states the bleeding obvious, she avoids all other issues associated to that issue, and she just ignores any of the problems associated. so yes, we do have a problem with rioting right now. it's actually gone. i mean, you'd think listening particularly to some of the mainstream media outlets, that there was far right riots every single afternoon and evening of the week. that's just not happening . that stopped about happening. that stopped about tuesday, thank goodness, by the way. and there are all sorts of reasons why that stopped, however, yvette cooper has come out now and says she's going to restore faith in the police. now. it's very easy when you're in opposition. the trouble is, when you're in power, you've actually got to do something to prove it. so we look forward to seeing what happens. well, what do you think they're going to do, carrie? >> because at the moment they're just being very, very heavy handed with a specific group, aren't they? >> they're going to tell us nice stories about the police, really sweet ones that make us love them, you know. well, we know what they're ramping up to. they're ramping up for this is fighting talk and justification
2:05 am
for increased police powers, which jury's out right now as far as i'm concerned. it might be necessary, but i'm always hesitant with the defund the police or over policing. i think it's always a bad idea to it feels reactive too fast to everything that's just happened. she does say lots of people across britain have strong views on crime, immigration, the nhs , on crime, immigration, the nhs, but they don't throw bricks, which i think would be weird if people threw bricks over the nhs. i'm so angry about the nhs is a brick that'll help. so yeah, i think also we've had ten months of, of marches with people shouting for intifada and jihad and so on, and, supporting terrorist organisations and nothing has been done about it. so if people have lost respect for the police, it might be because they haven't been doing a lot for the last few months. >> outrageous. carrie. >> outrageous. carrie. >> thank you. i am or they are. >> thank you. i am or they are. >> no you are world is. i don't know if any of that's actually happened, mate. >> i respect the police. >> i respect the police. >> i respect the police. >> i want you to know that all the news is what happened last week, okay? >> yeah, everything's all that history started last week. yes. historically, i know a bit about history. i don't think this country has ever really
2:06 am
respected the police. is it? i mean, you know, that would be quite useless if you said if you suddenly, if you like crime, as you and i do, i love it, we'd have a job without it. >> like, get in the way. >> like, get in the way. >> well, it's a good time to be committing crime, isn't it? with the jails all being full, obviously. labour have gone ahead and freed up some space, so that's going to make yvette cooper's job a bit easier, isn't it, paul? >> yeah. they have let, they've let they've cut a lot of sentences by 40%, allowing a lot of people out that have done lots of heinous things. >> and what they're going to put in is someone who says something nasty on facebook and i'm fully behind them, you know, nasty words. they get said to me all the time, porky chubster, you know, i'll throw them all out the key, throw out the key. >> i mean, throw away the key. but i said, throw out. >> there are some legitimately far right troublesome people who are and should be in prison. okay? >> and we and we do. we do. we are at pains to say this, and it's absolutely right. quite clearly, you see the people that have been convicted already, there's some sentences that are likely to be up to ten years, apparently. let's see who they go to before we start, casting any of our judgement upon that.
2:07 am
but what we've seen so far is genuinely sort of bad. people that have done bad things, committing a crime on a saturday and being sentenced and jailed by the wednesday , which is by the wednesday, which is phenomenal because we've not been we've been told for years that extraordinarily efficient, isn't it? >> yeah. would they like to come and run gb news. yeah. >> well, they would love to actually. yes. >> no, no, don't don't throw that one out to the ground is where they would love to run gb news. >> we're we're a thorn in their side. we're the only outlet really talking about this. >> yeah, that's absolutely right. okay, let's move on to the front of the times, paul, >> so knock down prices for greenbelt to build on. so councils will be will have compulsory purchase power. so this is this is labour, trying to meet their, 1.5 million homes by 2030. okay. and the way they're going to do it is a number of ways. they're going to build on brownfield. they're going to build on those sort of grey in between fields, and they're going to build on the green fields as well. the lovely ones we like to look at, which is a bit of a shame because what they're going to cover those
2:08 am
green fields in is plastic clad council housing. and, i don't know about you, carrie, but i do love a romantic walk along the hill and looking down at those plastic clad, terrible hell. >> me? >> me? >> well, you and i have done it ourselves. >> let's get some candles and go. it's our dating, >> default , isn't it? for sure, >> default, isn't it? for sure, but, labour aren't really fans of the countryside, you know that. they. you know, it's not been that long ago since they said it was racist. quite clearly, the countryside is very racist. >> they said the countryside was racist. oh, it's absolutely not. >> heard about the countryside being racist. >> no i haven't, i haven't noficed >> no i haven't, i haven't noticed that i'm so out of touch. really? yeah >> and, no. so we don't from my perspective . and this is not perspective. and this is not this is not gb news perspective. paul cox's perspective is we don't have a housing crisis . we don't have a housing crisis. we have a population crisis. so trying to build 1.5 million homes in the next five years doesn't really solve a problem. i think they should just be honest. they're just trying to find ways to boost the economy. >> oh, i think it's quite a good challenge actually. it's quite fun to see if they can do it. i think they should get all the people who are throwing bricks
2:09 am
right now to lay a few, you know, might, might really help, you know, maybe make things, put things together, >> if you're auditioning for a new job. yes. lobbying them about. >> i'll give it a go, it feels like we're chipping away at everything, doesn't it? including greenbelt now and so which was obviously it was going to happen at some point, she says, or they say they're concerned that landowners might cash in on the demand. let me answer that. they will, in order to build this number of houses, what we're going to see is the green belts are going to go first, and then then we're going to see bus stops turned into houses and then houses on houses, schools turned into houses, schools turned into houses, hospital operation rooms turned into houses, and soon everything will be a house. >> and if you remove all the belts, the trousers will fall down. >> christa. well, you say this, but some of us would like just one leg of a small pair of trousers. >> i don't know if that's what you this analogy, the analogy, what i'm getting at is, as somebody that's trying to buy their first property, it's a nightmare when there's everything's expensive, there's nothing around. i'd love to see more housing built. >> so i'm like, sort of a generation x boomer. i actually bought my first house when i was 20 years old, so. right now, you
2:10 am
know, i'm at the end of that. i'm sitting pretty. >> i really don't i haven't got a house. actually made me think, get rid of the green belt. hell with it. >> it's people like you and chris. i really don't care for. i want just don't. do you just. no, i don't, and i just want no, i don't, and ijust want greenland to look at what you guys do. whatever you do in youn >> well, i'm building a house on your garden places. >> i'm teaching. >> i'm teaching. >> yeah. and i'll remind you of this conversation while i'm building it. >> okay. we'll have a quick look at the daily star. i don't know if we've got the graphic for it, but what is on the front cover of the daily star, >> we're going we're going to get hot on monday and i think tuesday as well. having not read the whole story, but, it's going to be 35 c, which is very hot, by the way. and as someone who loathes heat gb news studio hall, i think even even hotter than that. you know how much i don't like that, and it's going to be coming from france in a dinghy, and we're going to give it a hotel, and, it's, labour have already built it. it might, it might. yeah it might work
2:11 am
week this week where there is 3,000,001st impressions weaving. >> leo i was trying . >> leo i was trying. >> leo i was trying. >> we. >> we. >> you don't have to when he's not here. you know there's no obligation, it's not going to be good, right? weather. that's why it's good for britain. >> no, no, exactly. i'm actually going to scotland tomorrow because i, i don't like, good welcomes or good weather. >> how are you going to scott? >> how are you going to scott? >> yeah, i am going up to scotland tomorrow. i'm doing some fringe. i'm doing some family stuff. i'm generally in scotland. i'm not telling the good people out there aren't going because they don't like me. >> so you're going to get out of the 35 degree heat and you're going to go to edinburgh into one of the venues. that's about 50 degrees. yeah, exactly. >> yeah. it's going to be ridiculous. what an escape. >> that's going to be lovely. >> that's going to be lovely. >> you can have a brief jaunt on the royal mile and enjoy the fresh air. okay, that's the end of part one. join us in part two for a former mp fessing up about labour's weak spots. rioters facing more consequences for their actions and news a minority group that you probably
2:12 am
haven't
2:13 am
2:14 am
2:15 am
welcome back to headliners. this is your first look at monday's newspapers. i'm cressida wetton, still joined by paul cox and carrie marks. so beginning this section with monday's telegraph. and after 30 years as a labour mp, dame margaret hodge has hinted that open borders might possibly not be a totally great idea. sounds a bit far right to me, paul. >> it does extremely far right, i think. i think i heard on sky news recently we're too frightened to talk about immigration and not us three. of course, this is the labour veteran , dame margaret hodge, veteran, dame margaret hodge, who stood down at the election after 30 years. as you said recently, just a moment ago, she has urged the party to work towards a new positive discourse about immigration, focusing on the richness that foreign nationals bring to the uk. so, i mean, what this is incredible really. i mean, i don't know whether i don't know whether to be glad that somebody from that side of politics is trying to have a discussion about it or
2:16 am
feel entirely patronised that she's doing it now, because this has been the biggest story for aeons, and it's the only time i can think of in my news watching aduh can think of in my news watching adult life, where the biggest story has never had a section where they explain why it's happening, it's just happening, and they say it's these bad, bad people and there are some bad, bad people involved, but stood behind those bad, bad people are thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of concerned people who are worried about immigration for very valid reasons, not because of the colour of the skin, or even because they're not culturally assimilating, but because our infrastructure just doesn't sustain it any longer. and it's affecting people that need it. and those people are a mixture of those things . it will be of those things. it will be a mixture and those things, those people could still just be people could still just be people who have only been here 20 years, let alone for 200 years. so this is a huge problem. and i'm not sure i'm not sure what the solution is at the moment. what we're seeing
2:17 am
from keir starmer is , is very from keir starmer is, is very reactionary stuff. his language is reactionary. reactionary stuff. his language is reactionary . what he's doing is reactionary. what he's doing is reactionary. what he's doing is reactionary, so he's managing to put people in prison. it looks like it's stopping the riots. for me, that's very short sighted. it's kind of short termism from a short sighted leader, because what he's doing is solving just one minute. part of the problem and saying, we've doneit of the problem and saying, we've done it now it's all over. look how good we are. you've solved nothing, if anything, within certain communities , martyrs certain communities, martyrs have been created and elsewhere nobody feels listened to. >> well, to be fair to dame margaret hodge, i get the impression that now she's left laboun impression that now she's left labour, she's kind of able to say what she thinks. what do you think, carrie? >> well, she she brought it up in 2006 and she was accused of , in 2006 and she was accused of, helping the bnp gain seats. so she's obviously been raising this subject for a while. it's just no one's particularly listening on it, and people complain about the right wing press covering it. but the trouble is, the left wing press aren't as she's right. they're not talking about it. and so they're leaving all that ground to what they consider to be
2:18 am
their enemies. so that seems a bit of a bad planning, right? so yeah, they should be talking about it more. we've seen a lot of strange things going on at the moment . we've already talked the moment. we've already talked about, to be clear , absolutely about, to be clear, absolutely clear. once again, all the violence and stuff going on is, is awful. and there's no excuse ever to be getting aggressive in the country. it's bad. can we agree on that. >> yeah we all agree. not good. >> yeah we all agree. not good. >> yeah. it's bad. and on the other hand we're hearing just just lots of cliche talk about how the benefits of immigration, which there's unquestionably benefits of immigration. but some of it is also that immigrants go on those benefits, which he squeezed a joking but brilliant stuff. sorry, sorry about that. oh my goodness, great stuff that just came out of nowhere. but look, there's good and bad sides to these things. and you know, there's poor areas of britain where the unemployment level has remained at the same now since, like blair's government. and the way we patched over, it was, was with immigration to, to show growth , but it didn't actually growth, but it didn't actually make any difference to the level of unemployed in those areas. so
2:19 am
of unemployed in those areas. so of course, a lot of people are are disgruntled. what we're seeing at the moment is everything going on, including the hug a migrant thing. i know if you saw that the other day of the i think it wasn't supposed to be literal. yeah, i don't think you can just go up to a you can't just go up to a migrant. >> is required. i've tried it. they don't like it. >> also, you've got to then ask where you're from, which is already a bad start. they hate all that, but maybe hug a thug. >> yeah. why not? >> yeah. why not? >> have we tried that? >> have we tried that? >> we hug a thug. i think it's a good idea, but i wouldn't advise it. okay news. now that rioters could face up to ten years in prison. this is in the times. kerry, >> this is stephen parkinson, the director of public prosecutions, and he said the number of charging decisions is expected to soar with a new phase of cases being brought by police and then he chuckled merrily. ha ha. he said, i'll show them, he we warned of the consequences and we will deliver those consequences. and then he says, it's not about exacting revenge, it's about delivering justice. i think batman wrote his speeches. you know, that sounds like something batman would say rather than suspect, isn't it? >> when somebody says it's definitely not this? yes. >> that already becomes, yeah ,
2:20 am
>> that already becomes, yeah, yeah, you bring that up, the lady doth protest. somewhat. somewhat, i think what we need to do and what we got rid of was we got rid of football hooliganism, which gave people an outlet, you know, and now they're trying to find other places. >> they're connecting. >> they're connecting. >> they're connecting the two again, aren't they? yeah. >> bring back football hooligan. am i the only one on this? >> no no no no. >> you know i'm into men's spaces and men's rights and it is the case, isn't it, that men teach boys how to be, i don't know, carry. no we do. >> we get together with boys and we teach them. you're absolutely right. >> but if any boys do our own boys would like to write in. >> we'll arrange a training session. >> i get the impression that these people are still not being heard. i mean, i appreciate, as we've said, many times, the people that really are the far right thugs who are just turning up for a bit of a fight, because that's entertainment. i've got no patience with them whatsoever. they're making everything worse, but overall there's no tone in this article where anybody's talking about legitimate concerns . and once legitimate concerns. and once again, elon musk is being told being called deeply unhelpful. people don't want to hear from
2:21 am
elon and free speech. >> there's a huge vacuum in opposition at the moment. the conservative party are nowhere to be seen. sir keir starmer is wandering around like mao here and he's just doing what ever he wants , whenever he wants. the wants, whenever he wants. the conservative party are over here worrying about who the next leader is going to be. is it going to be tugendhat? is it going to be tugendhat? is it going to be pretty? meanwhile, the streets were alight. they're doing absolutely nothing to challenge starmer on any of his policies whatsoever. and everything starmer is doing right now is against anything . right now is against anything. he would have told us 6 to 8 weeks ago, because he would have told you that we need to have less sentencing, we need to have fewer people going to prison. we need to let people out of prison soonen need to let people out of prison sooner. we need to have more community based punishments. none of this is happening as a result of this. they're not saying, oh, we need to give these people some sort of social or community based punishments. they're giving them ten years. now, look, we have to let's just let's just for all three of us tonight so we can get on with the rest of the show. right wing thuggery exists within this
2:22 am
movement, and it has undermined the whole problem. it's bad and they should go to prison. >> speak for yourself . so no, >> speak for yourself. so no, no. absolutely. >> so we just so we just so we just have to accept that. but in order for us to have the all of us have the conversation, the dialogue and actually talk about what the problem is, we just need to park that for a moment because it distracts. they have distracted, it is distracted. the problem that started this whole thing still exists has not gone away. >> okay, the telegraph next. and hunters are asking to be protected. paul yes, they are indeed hunting community to take legal action to become protected minority group . minority group. >> so the community. this is fox hunting by the way. the community that has been advised by a leading barrister that they have a case to seek protected status, including that they could be considered an ethnic group as a result of their shared history, or that they hold protected beliefs. so this is this is essentially i mean, if you can't beat them, join them right there. finally, identity politics. politics has
2:23 am
found, fox hunting very nearly, said something terrible then, as found for fox hunting and sunday, you can get away with it. >> exactly . no one. yeah, yeah. >> exactly. no one. yeah, yeah. >> exactly. no one. yeah, yeah. >> you can't justin welby watching and, you know, so, so literally a barrister has been very clever about this and saying you can identify as, like a in the same way as a travelling community would, or an ethnic minority group would or lgbt community, the ethical vegans, which apparently which i'm all behind had success with this idea. >> yes . but look, the upper >> yes. but look, the upper classes have suffered thousands of years of oppression, and it's about time they got, you know , about time they got, you know, better. understood, normally protected groups are the ones who were hunted rather than the ones who were doing the hunting. >> have got legal representation as well. >> yes, but they're not ethnic foxes, you know, look, this might work for them. and i'm very. and they want they're comparing themselves to the lgbt community. and i'm pretty much sure that at some point we'll
2:24 am
see the red on the pride flag representing hunters. although i think red's already taken for now. orange foxes. yeah, my prediction is the british public are going to be that bothered by this. they're not going to feel really sorry for the hunters. i just feel it's going to be hard to move public and say, look , to move public and say, look, the hunters have had a really hard time. i do think there is a for case that. they're talking about the discrimination by employers and so on, and the providing services in pubs and hotels and all that is. but, if they're being discriminated against because of their, their blood sport hobby, then that's wrong. >> it's the gay wedding cake problem, isn't it? but on a less palatable, example . so it says palatable, example. so it says last year, wiltshire police banned officers with links to hunting from joining its rural police. wouldn't hire people because this woman had posted some pictures of herself hunting on facebook so she couldn't have the job. >> do you think they'd like that? >> look at your perfect, wouldn't you? >> i think that's going too far, isn't it? discriminating that makes me side with the hunters. even though i don't hunt. i would be the last person in the world to want to do anything
2:25 am
cruel to animals. but i recognise that it's got to be one rule for all. >> i kind of like these stories. you know. i haven't hunted for ages. i gave it up. my council estate just stopped running a sort of community funded fox hunt, so we couldn't do it any longer. however, you know, it's not. it's not the fox hunting. i'm. i'm in favour of here. it's the fact that they take these sort of ridiculous, sort of very leftist views of the world that creates these minority groups. that must be protected in some way. and they basically manipulated that almost cleverly and gone, yeah, we're going to make ourselves a protected group as well. and there's something within that that i thoroughly enjoy. >> fair enough. okay, mondays i news now and bad news for pensioners. kerry. >> almost 4 million pensioners could be living in poverty and struggling to afford even the most basic foods or fords. they might want fords. we don't know. yes, but i'm going to assume i was right the second time with foods in the next 15 years, a charity has warned and charity is going to know best on this sort of thing. it's, it's this is news that's about me. you know, this is where i'm going to
2:26 am
be your ghost of 15 years when i'm building my house in paul's garden . well, so, so, yeah, you garden. well, so, so, yeah, you know, i, i, the old people have had it good for a long time , had it good for a long time, and, and it was happening for the future holders. they're not going to be the same old, same old. well, they're going to be the poor old of and, and it's, everything, but everything is going up. i think we're heading for soylent green 15 years from now. this is where. yeah. you know, the sci fi movie where people, people end up. i'm giving it away now , but they giving it away now, but they discover that the food they're eating is other people because we can no longer feed everyone. so we decided lewis's diet, which i, you know, i think this i think everything is costing more. everything is breaking. and i think this country needs a side hustle of some kind , maybe side hustle of some kind, maybe selling drugs or something. just just why not? >> so, you know, some jam on the side. >> yeah. thoughts on this, paul? >> yeah. thoughts on this, paul? >> well, only a few, we are terrible as a society at looking after our old people. really. we really are. and they've become
2:27 am
sort of pawns in the political game and that you know, testament to that is what laboun testament to that is what labour, the first major policy labour, the first major policy labour did was essentially to means test the winter fuel allowance and take it away from millions of people, and they'll be the first people to come out and say, oh, we need to look after our old people. like, come on, mate, you're having a laugh, aren't you? so i think we need to do better by our old people. what don't recommend is moving them in. i move my parents in. it's absolutely disaster. they are feral, so don't go that far. but don't move. >> paul's parents don't move. >> paul's parents don't move. >> my parents. you can move my parents in. >> mr and mrs. cox aren't watching. okay, really? quickly closing this section with the telegraph. the most athletic man in paris hasn't won a medal. paul in paris hasn't won a medal. paul. he's been arrested. >> i know it's outrageous, isn't it? the british, a british man has been arrested after he climbed the eiffel tower hours before it started. started the closing ceremony of the paris olympic games. >> so the shirtless man, identified as a professional climber in the french media, scaled the 1000 foot monument without any equipment. and in one video shared on social media, the blonde, bearded man
2:28 am
has not been named, looks at the camera and says bloody warm, innit? which is classic british bants , isn't it? now we saw the bants, isn't it? now we saw the opening ceremony. it was like, a naked smurf with his man purse out . so we naked smurf with his man purse out. so we don't naked smurf with his man purse out . so we don't know that this out. so we don't know that this half naked british guy climbing up the eiffel tower isn't part of the closing ceremony . you of the closing ceremony. you know, it could just be part of it. they might have actually started it early. it was all sort of arty. we didn't really appreciate it, etc. >> excellent point. yeah. how would you know kerry, any thoughts on this? >> yes. he wanted to see the olympic closing ceremony, so he was trying to get as high as possible. i think we're being horrible about this. it's. he's he's shirtless. this this man, he's shirtless. this this man, he doesn't even have a shirt struggling. so, you know the least we can do is let him climb up the eiffel tower. do you know alan? robert, in 1996, he holds the world record for being the fastest illegal climber of the eiffel tower, which he did in 45 minutes. isn't that impressive? >> i do now , well done him. >> i do now, well done him. okay, that's it for part two.

come back in part three when we'll be discussing what isn't appropriate at a protest, what isn't appropriate for christians, and what's compulsory for who want to serve on the front line. don't
2:30 am

2:32 am
welcome back to headliners. your first look at monday's newspapers opening this section with the daily mail. and the government is considering banning face masks. wear a mask. don't wear a mask. kerry, what's going on? >> what's going on is wear a mask. don't wear a mask, as you just said. that's exactly what's happening. ministers are concerned that far right rioters purposely covered their faces. not accidentally. they're not worried about the accidental ones. the ones who deliberately did this during the chaos last week to avoid identification and arrest, rather than the ones who did it just to look good. and so we're going to ban masks so that we're going to ban masks so that we can catch people more easily, which of course makes sense. i think getting them wear name badges would be good. >> wouldn't that be great?
2:33 am
>> wouldn't that be great? >> or traps with. yeah, trevor's got trevor and doris. you know, just they have to stand together, yeah. you're right. it's been up and down, hasn't it ? it's been up and down, hasn't it? it's. the culture has changed from, like all the banks and nightclubs don't wear a mask. we need to be able to see you on the cameras. and then, of course, covid came in and we were all told to wear masks. that was really weird when you turned up a bank at one point, they were like, you haven't got a mask on to come into, come into the bank. what's happening around here? and then of course it went again. but then we've had ten months of people wearing masks on some of the, the protests, so it's all been very up and down, policing minister dame, dame diana johnson said in the sun. do not tell me that individuals have come around, come armed with flares, fireworks, petrol bombs to a location advertised online with fire emojis. i just say at a protest , do not tell me that protest, do not tell me that someone is in a crowd for peaceful reasons. when they are wearing a balaclava, trying to avoid being identified. and then she says these are dangerous thugs and she doesn't do a rule of three. there should be another one, shouldn't there? there should be a that's the rule. that's the rule. you do another. >> don't tell me again we could teach her.
2:34 am
>> yeah, but you can't tell her. >> yeah, but you can't tell her. >> no, don't tell me, insists the third one. >> don't tell me. i didn't do a rule of three. >> and she's shutting down all speech. yes, totally. >> we know what she's up to anyway. >> what do you think about this? is that it might be like this. there obviously are still some legitimate face coverings, right? because they've said if it's a religious reason, if you're ugly or something, well, i don't think ugliness is listed, but maybe it should. maybe that comes under miscellaneous. so paul yeah, this is open to abuse isn't it. this rule. >> yes, of course it is. and what's fascinating and carrie did touch on it. and, you know, it's very true. this was something the tories tried to introduce, some time after october the 7th. i don't know if anyone out there remembers october the 7th and what might have happened. and the protest that were triggered as part of that. but there were a lot of anti—israel protests where people would cover their faces and say things like, you know , and say things like, you know, death to jews. yeah. little chance. yeah. for any little chance. yeah. for any little chance like that. well, they don't seem to have minded then, you know, you didn't go to prison or anything like that, then it didn't really matter. but now, of course , although but now, of course, although there are some right, some far
2:35 am
right thuggery, chucking bricks around, etc, etc. however, look, they should be. i mean, they're saying they're going to make this look like like they're going to make it legal that you don't illegal to wear a mask at a riot, don't go to a riot. i mean, you know, you're already doing something illegal if you're going to a riot and riot, by the way, in order for someone to be charged with starting a riot, they have to have 12 people with a who are consenting to one view and organising it to happen. are you joking? no it has to be 12 people. >> millom jo cox. the germans looked up the definition of riot. >> you do? is that right? >> you do? is that right? >> that's absolutely right. legally speaking, a dozen people to riot. >> you do need in order. >> you do need in order. >> people can't riot of rioting in order to get the ten year sentence to be convicted of rioting, you will have to prove that they were part of a 12 person strong team. >> well, that is fascinating. >> well, that is fascinating. >> i'm going to look that up later, we're in the guardian now, and archbishop of canterbury and influencer justin welby has given his take on the social unrest in britain. paul >> absolutely. archbishop of canterbury warns christians against membership of far right groups. he hasn't spoken to them
2:36 am
for a while. he only just speaks to his people on twitter, the archbishop of canterbury has warned christians they should not be part of any far right groups, does not identify how they would be criticising the use of christian imagery in this summer's riots as an offence to our faith. do you know a headune our faith. do you know a headline i've never seen? and thatis headline i've never seen? and that is that the archbishop of canterbury concentrates on managing the church. there's never been any of that. he's not really doing any of that. it's not too fussed about the church or anything that goes on there. it's just an opinionated sort of man who, like you say, it's a bit of an influencer. some may, i would say he needs to be refamiliarized with what the christians did in the crusades. he seems to be slightly worried at the moment that some of this imagery is negative on the church. now, you know, i consider myself. >> you don't mean because he wants a refresher course on that, because he seems to forget that, because he seems to forget that the faith that he supports has a very violent past, right? well i'm sure he wouldn't be up for that either. >> you're right. they've had 2000 years to give the message. really? >> justin? have a look, mate. >> justin? have a look, mate. >> it's in the books and
2:37 am
everything. >> i don't want i don't want to get too involved. not being a christian or anything, but i'm going to. first of all, i think jesus would before the riots. i think he would let people throw stones if they were without sin. yes, right. >> but you'd have to check, wouldn't you ? wouldn't you? >> yeah, totally. >> yeah, totally. >> but sometimes the archbishop does feel like he has to say something . something. >> it's my job. >> it's my job. >> definitely not without sin . >> definitely not without sin. nobody should be throwing stones. >> yes. well said . >> yes. well said. >> yes. well said. >> enormously well said, yeah. look, i it's horrifying what's going on. and of course , it's going on. and of course, it's all following the, the, the stabbing of the, in southport was following a children at a taylor swift music thing and it was, and she's also had three concerts cancelled. you know, you see that in vienna. >> yeah. because there was a plan with a terrorist attack. >> i know, but it kind of surprised me with all that. with three of her concerts being cancelled, that people have instantly gone with the idea that or blame migrants, and i would have thought it more likely would have been , likely would have been, ex—boyfriends who have featured in some of her songs finally trying to stop her concerts. but obviously not. i don't know. the
2:38 am
archbishop might have special information that's not available to the police or the government that he gets from. he's got he's got above and he's to god. yeah, totally . totally. >> so, you know, all the pope. yeah.i >> so, you know, all the pope. yeah. i don't know who's who's highest, but i'm glad he's spoken out because there's people who listen to him and maybe they were going to riot right up until the point where the archbishop said, don't do it. and he's also telling it's incredible, isn't it? >> well, i still i still think it's very obnoxious to use to use the cross if you're not, if you're not living the values, you're not living the values, you know the virtues. but then people do that with religion a lot, don't they? okay. staying with the guardian, that's true. and snitches get , no trouble and snitches get, no trouble from the swedish government. carrie. >> well , this is a new >> well, this is a new immigration plan or a law to stop the immigration. i get rather in sweden, it's been called the switch. the switch? no it's not the snitch law. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> stay with us. >> stay with us. >> don't. yeah. >> don't. yeah. >> don't. yeah.
2:39 am
>> don't go anywhere. my brain is on its way back. sister proposal, and it's. this is the sweden democrats who proposed it, and i think, they're they're the second biggest party. now, i am reading as i talk, but, so basically the idea is that people in in various jobs, dentists , teachers, dentists, teachers, professionals and so on and apparently librarians that they've got down here as well are to report, anyone who's illegally, you know, any illegal people and hand them in. i mean, i think to one extent you're supposed to report crimes anyway, right? you are. if you see a crime that is, you know , see a crime that is, you know, kind of where things work. but this is kind of obviously this is being heavily criticised because people are going to the doctor who need help and they're going to have to keep their or they won't go because they'll keep their identity down or be afraid of being handed in by doctor who. probably should not be doing that kind of thing. the idea was also opposed by more than 90% of librarians. it says, according to the trade union
2:40 am
dick, the trade union dick by the way, which i wouldn't take that seriously personally , that seriously personally, librarians are supposed to say, shush, not not not telling on people is the way i feel about it . when did librarians become it. when did librarians become protectors of morality? what's going on here? >> well, this isn't even about morality, really, is it? because it's the guardian have taken what is a sort of legal mandate in most countries in the world that, you know , we would prefer that, you know, we would prefer it that documented people were here rather than undocumented people. therefore they were illegal and framed it that it's some sort of far right bigotry. and then they then they've rustled up all these civil servants. so of course, are going to be on the side of, of migrants. it is it is a difficult one, but particularly in the example you used with the library. >> why the library? >> why the library? >> library? they're all just just just check the people taking out the quran. but but in the doctors, in the doctors in particular, they, you know, it is very difficult. i don't know, maybe they've got some maybe they don't have to snitch in their doctors. >> someone comes in difficult, isn't it, because it's clearly
2:41 am
going to have a terrible impact on the people that are already there. but as a deterrent, it's very strong. i don't know, paul. what's this story in the daily mail now about men and women having different physical attributes that can't be right . attributes that can't be right. >> female recruits must pump iron and bulk up if they want to serve on the front line, army says so. a major new study by army fitness chiefs found that women hoping to serve in infantry units, known as close combat roles, experience higher rate of injury than men, and most are susceptible to bone fractures and hip injuries. well my flabbergasted, it's almost as if, there is a biological difference between men and women. who would have thought so? but fair play. i mean, firstly, i would say it's fair play firstly, i would say it's fair play to women who want to fight on the front line, fair play to anyone who wants to do, but especially women in what will be a very alpha male type environment. so fair play to them. but you know , pretending them. but you know, pretending that men and women are the same
2:42 am
biologically for so many years now has created issues for these these people who do want to do this because they've never been given probably the training that they really need in order to bulk up to become more biologically male. because we have we have something called testosterone. i mean, kerry has loads of it. he has he has most of the national overflowing. >> oh, that's all fair. of the national overflowing. >> oh, that's all fair . and they >> oh, that's all fair. and they have they are clearly making moves now and saying the women need to do whatever it is. a few more press ups or something like that. >> kerry. no, they're saying that the women need to identify as men and then they'll be strong. they're not. that's the modern method. it's simple. oh, okay. look, it's just a pump iron, but they don't say yes. >> who iron is. >> who iron is. >> men have an unfair advantage from, 100,000 years of evolution. so what they're saying is women need to be held back a little bit and evolute. you know, spend 100,000 years and improve yourselves . you know, spend 100,000 years and improve yourselves. this is this is professor julie julie greaves, the army top physiologist, and he said she said additional training was required for women, which is yes, she's going to keep them after the class and then she
2:43 am
said women are not going to get stronger by accident, which if only they could, wouldn't that be great if you could get stronger by accident? >> okay. just the final section to go join us after the break to hear the secret to men's happiness. why our heritage makes business sense, and why traffic lights might be getting a makeover. see
2:44 am
2:45 am
2:46 am
break. welcome back to the final section of headliners paul, starting with the guardian. and have i read this right? someone is suggesting that our heritage is suggesting that our heritage is valuable. >> yeah, not just someone . the >> yeah, not just someone. the guardian. let's get into this. invest in heritage to boost wealth of failing english towns, says new report. there's absolutely no way, by the way, this story would run if there had been a tory government. just absolutely no way. celebrating an area's cultural past is key to reviving its economy. according to the historic england, you know, famously, the
2:47 am
guardian, as i said, aren't really into their, english culture. and presumably they want people to visit these places and read the warning signs about how in the past, everything was racist and then go home and tweet about it. i'm not too sure what the. they're absolutely right. we've been crowing. people in general have been crowing that we should be very supportive of our heritage here in england and in scotland and wales and, ireland and northern ireland and the isle of wight and all those hayling island and all those other places associated to the uk. kerry, as you were saying. but what's incredible for me is of course we should and we should be proud of our heritage is what it is. we should talk openly about it. we shouldn't be afraid of our heritage, and it is what it is. it's like when i was talking about, you know, i'm a big fan of christianity. and when i was talking about justin welby earlier and i was talking about he needs to take a look in christianity's past, all i'm doing is putting a mirror up to someone like justin welby and saying, look at the sort of stuff you talk about and the message that it creates and the
2:48 am
way it resonates out, because people like the guardian and people like the guardian and people that support the guardian have for too long now talked down english culture or british culture or whatever culture it might be that's associated with these, with these isles. and it's about time they had a positive story. and like i say, they're doing it here for an economical perspective. and they definitely wouldn't do this if the tories had still been in power. >> speech. yes, yes , absolutely. >> speech. yes, yes, absolutely. >> speech. yes, yes, absolutely. >> i like the fact he says the report. i'm going to read this thing, this paragraph, the report has applied strict mathematical criteria to reveal the true value of any rich, of any area rich in cultural heritage. it's found that wherever heritage and cultural history are linked to the work of new artistic and scientific communities, greater economic productivity and business growth are the results . what the hell are the results. what the hell was the strict mathematical criteria that what was it? heritage plus cultural history, times, work of new artistic and scientific communities minus business growth equals something. what on earth are they talking about?
2:49 am
>> genius . they talking about? >> genius. caring. yes. we're in the daily mail now and the secret to men's happiness involves rubber gloves. tell us more. >> happiness is doing the dishes, they say whilst trying to pull one over. men yet again, men would be much jollier if they did the washing. i do the washing up. by the way. i've always washed up, but as it made me happy. no, not once. as soon as i own, i see. yeah, i've no choice, i know, but i was married. i still washed up occasionally, as soon as i read these headlines , i'm going. these headlines, i'm going. okay, here we go. yeah, here we go. this obviously has been put together. women. women are being tncky together. women. women are being tricky here and trying to convince men. >> women more washing women . >> women more washing women. >> women more washing women. >> you know, what your people are like. and apparently they they basically they measured how long men spend doing washing up, which is, and household chores, which is, and household chores, which is, and household chores, which is not as long as they spend working. and then they've assumed there is nothing here that says whether they tested whether they were happier after they did the household chores or after they worked mathematically, they haven't
2:50 am
done that. yeah. the equation they've gone with is doing household chores must make you happy. so if you do more of it, therefore you will be happier. >> i agree there's a lot of missing information here. >> yeah. incredible. >> yeah. incredible. >> yeah, it might be a case of happy wife, happy life . i think happy wife, happy life. i think there might be a touch of that old cliche. okay moving to the guardian, paul, who would have thought that in the great decline of print media that this gem of a magazine wouldn't make it? >> yeah, i wasn't aware of it until now, but, spirited defence, psychic news magazine battles to ward off closure, so journal of british spiritualism , journal of british spiritualism, which exposes fake mediums, faces financial crisis after subsidy is withdrawn. well i bet they didn't see that coming. >> cressida, there we go, >> cressida, there we go, >> i want to stress, he says later on, that the majority of mediums are painfully honest people . people. >> painfully honest. >> painfully honest. >> yeah, it hurts them. >> yeah, it hurts them. >> oh, i've never , never been so >> oh, i've never, never been so painfully honest, painfully honest people who will go to a spiritualist church and demonstrate on a soaking wet friday night for £15 and don't even get petrol money. but in all walks of life, there are odd
2:51 am
rogues and vagabonds. it sounds very much like the open mic circuit of comedy. to me, this sounds exactly like the way i went about things, essentially saying, look, they probably do a good service because there are a lot there. you know, i believe in spiritualism and there are a lot of good spiritualists out there. however, you know, there are a lot of people because because these people are in need in some way, they are going to take advantage. so you do need something like the psychic news just to check out whether, you know, dazzling bob dazzler. it really is speaking to you now, harry, five seconds of this. >> well, of course, you know, it's also all nonsense, by the way. but you know, if you want to believe in it, that's fine. they're working with a skeleton staff, which i think is quite amusing. personally, so is nearly over. >> so let's take. sorry, kerry. let's take another quick look at monday's front pages. so the, no, they're not they're the times i kind of i kind of just lean in, knock down prices for greenbelt to build on, the daily mail has no more rioting in the name of our little girl. the
2:52 am
express has exposed junior doctors plot to cripple nhs again. the guardian has far right use of christian symbols and offence to our faith. the telegraph has. cooper uk has lost respect for police and those are front pages. that's it for tonight's show. thanks to paul and kerry, leo kearse will be here tomorrow at 11 pm. with steve and alan and lewis schaffer. and if you're watching at 5 am. then stay tuned for breakfast. good night. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello! welcome to your gb news, weather update from the met office. as we go through monday, it's going to be turning increasingly hot and humid for some of us, with the risk of thunderstorms in the north west, but it will be turning fresher
2:53 am
later. looking at the bigger picture, we've got an area of high pressure across the uk. further towards the west, a deep area of low pressure and that's helping drive south easterly winds. so through the rest of this evening, many places staying largely dry. but as we go through the night we'll see the risk of thunderstorms developing firstly in the west, but then across northern ireland and parts of scotland later, and we have got some weather warnings in force, so expect frequent lightning, torrential downpours and some gusty winds and temperatures overnight. well, it's going to be feeling quite uncomfortable. some places not dipping below 20 degrees now as we start monday morning we have this band of heavy thundery , have this band of heavy thundery, showery rain across western parts of scotland , moving its parts of scotland, moving its way north and eastwards so there could be some difficult driving conditions in this, with frequent lightning as well and some torrential downpours. northern ireland turning drier as the day progresses and across much of england largely dry but cloudy further towards the west and already feeling quite warm by 8 am, so as the day
2:54 am
progresses, that band of rain will continue to push its way north and eastwards. some thunderstorms even ahead of that, as well, so they can't be ruled out completely across the south. but many places should largely miss these many places. seeing some hot sunshine, especially across the south east. it's going to be feeling very hot and humid with highs of up to 34 degrees, but fresher further towards the west. as we go through tuesday. still warm start in the south and east, but bright elsewhere. then we have another band of rain moving in from the west, so turning increasingly cloudy with outbreaks of rain for many across western areas. sunshine and showers behind that, and that sets the scene through wednesday and thursday with unsettled weather on the way but turning fresher as well. by by a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb. >> good evening. welcome to ben
