2:04 am
>> forward slash alerts. >> forward slash alerts. >> hello and welcome to headliners, your first look at thursday's papers. i'm cressida winton, and tonight i'm joined by a voice of reason. the comedian carrie marks and the clown who hears voices. it's louis schaefer. how are you both.7 >> i'm the voice of reason. i didn't even know that you are. >> i think you're a very calming influence on this show, gary. i've changed that tonight. well, i've changed that tonight. well, i don't know if we can afford that, because we've got louis with us. well, didn't you just say that people who speak to themselves are smarter than people who don't speak? >> no. >> no. >> that's the story we had yesterday. one of the voices. >> you're in the wrong night, but you just heard. >> okay, let's have a look at those front pages. the daily telegraph leads with career criminals. walk free in soft justice scandal. the times has don't rush in new laws for workers. bosses warn the daily mail has labour offers train drivers bumper pay deal to end strikes. the guardian has ukraine moves deeper into russia and targets air bases. the ai
2:05 am
has savers hit by interest rate drop, but uk mortgages set to fall to 3.5%. that's good. and finally, the daily star horror of the cold baked beans deviants. and those were your front pages . beginning with front pages. beginning with thursday's daily mail carry. >> you'd like to know what's going on, wouldn't you? i'm going on, wouldn't you? i'm going to tell you you should share it with the rest of the. this is the train strike that is finally looking like it's coming to an end. it's out of the tunnel and into the light. it's been going on for two years. i'm surprised it hasn't been usurped by a bus replacement strike in the same time. and the government has decided to solve it by caving in completely , it by caving in completely, giving in to its union masters. it seems just as i buy a new car because of all the train strikes. and of course they go and solve it. ministers yesterday said they had struck a deal which would see average train drivers salary, which i think is means the average
2:06 am
salary rather than the salary for the average train. a bit average, you know, and it's going to go up, it's going to soan going to go up, it's going to soar, they say, from 60,000 to 69,000. so that does sound like a lot. well it is a lot. and it's likely to put the ticket pnces it's likely to put the ticket prices up unless the treasury will stump up the extra 100 million that it's going to cost . million that it's going to cost. so actually, it is lucky that i bought a car. >> well, do you want to know something? i don't like it when you brag to the audience like i bought a car. yeah, and some of us do not have cars. and i didn't even realise they were on strike because the service has been so bad. it hasn't really struck me as being diminished. the fact is, they've been raised. it hasn't even been approved yet. so they might reject it because there are people on strike and they'll say it's too much and 69,000. we couldn't. i don't i've lived here for so long for more, i hear £69,000 is not very much for money a train driver, honestly. and i'm not saying i'm not saying they deserve more, but it isn't really. we live in a poor country now, and that's
2:07 am
the point. >> i think that's a healthy, a healthy wage. i'm very impressed at that. i think , yeah, the at that. i think, yeah, the wrong business. so okay, so now they're going to charge more . so they're going to charge more. so our ticket is going to cost more. but does that mean the trains are now going to run on time lewis. >> they might run on time. i think when you, when i go to new cross gate and there's always you see that little red little thing on the thing that says bus replacement. do you know you know, you can't get there from new cross gate, should i say it's still britain, isn't it? >> things are still going to run as they run in britain, in the british. >> what happens? >> what happens? >> and but what's interesting is they brought this in with no conditions because of the tory tory party was saying they were going for an 8% increase over two years and, and now it's. yeah, just have everything. no conditions. no, it was compulsory sunday working and so on. but that's all off the cards and there's probably some other parts, but that's as much of the story i read. >> but can i add the stuff that i read, which is the fact that the government, the fact that the government, the fact that the state is dictating this, i thought they were owned by
2:08 am
private companies. i thought it was private companies who would like southern railway and southeastern and whatever these places, southwestern railways. but no, it's well, the government still has some control over it, isn't it? obviously over overall, but i'd like to find out how much control they have. >> right. well, i'm sure we'll hear more about this. lewis, what's on the cover of the times? >> good news. really good. i'm not so sure. okay, this is this is in the times, which is owned by rupert murdoch's family. i think still, probably the banks don't rush in new laws for workers, bosses warn. and this is a meeting that angela rayner , is a meeting that angela rayner, who's the person in charge of speaking to bosses. she's the deputy prime minister and they're coming out with this law, this new bill, where they're going to have 30, 30 new pieces of employment rights. it's called the employment rights bill on september 2nd. and the companies are saying, please don't bring this in. at the same time, i know you're going to kill us because you're labour and you're destroying this country, but please do not
2:09 am
bnng this country, but please do not bring this in. and including can i just list a few of what they are? go for it. the right to switch off your phone. if your bossis switch off your phone. if your boss is calling you and saying, hey, we want you to. you know what happened to the file for red liners? you're able to turn it off. ban on zero hour contracts, which i don't understand, but it's not enough, sick pay for pro after probation. so. and parental leave. >> well, the biggest thing is that it's going to be harder to get rid of people. isn't it? so the argument here is that if you make it more difficult to get rid of people, employers might be a bit slower to recruit you. right? so it's going to slow everything down. >> it's called france, >> it's called france, >> yeah. we'll get rid of round it with immigration. but the but we're more willing to work. yeah. who won't be asking for all this? well they'd have to be completely off the cards, wouldn't they? >> because they can't have a zero hours contract. that would only work if they weren't in the system. zero hours. >> sounds great, doesn't it? until you understand what it is. but otherwise, how do you. no hours at all. wonderful you can. this was at a meeting with
2:10 am
business groups, and you can imagine all the business leaders with their jaws slowly dropping while they they say we're going to let them just do whatever they want, and you're still going to pay them, look, i think some of it makes sense. i didn't know that the new rights on sick pay know that the new rights on sick pay and rights of unfair dismissal, but i thought that was already there. i don't know what new rights there will be. >> there will be some new rights. i guarantee you there will be some new rights people in this. all they do is think of rights for people that people didn't know. and no obligations. >> well, at the moment the new labour government are sort of doing the big giveaway, aren't they? here we go. train drivers, everybody, whatever you want. and, but i don't know, how do you feel about the you can switch off phones. that's what it is isn't it. the switch off. >> well, i just don't i think it i think the business is probably know how to run their businesses. and there are times when it's appropriate to text your colleagues at 2:00 in the morning. and there are times when it isn't, and it depends on the business. so apparently 60% of the workforce in the uk falls under this small businesses category. and that's a lot of people like government. stay out of it is my instinct.
2:11 am
>> yeah. i mean, do you agree with what she just said? >> you asked her a question. >> you asked her a question. >> yeah, i do agree. >> yeah, i do agree. >> okay. well tell her tell her you agree. that's how a conversation works. >> well, let me ask you, how do you feel about that? >> very much, lewis, let's move on and have a look at the guardian. carers. >> don't tell me what to do. >> don't tell me what to do. >> i just think for the sake of you, tell yourself for the sake of the show, i think i think you're more. you're more emotionally damaged than i am. oh, that's. >> well, we'll disapprove. i sat to next you. come on, i was fine, sorry. >> back in order. it's me. oh, okay. so. okay. we've got. ukraine is moving deeper into russia with a bold incursion, taking the fight to the enemy. putin is on the back foot, and this is reinvigorating the war, which is a really unexpected turn of events. and and they're taking down drones and, russian aeroplanes and so on. so any thoughts on that before i move to the other story or. >> no, maybe, maybe, maybe no . >> no, maybe, maybe, maybe no. >> no, maybe, maybe, maybe no. >> come on. we know he wants to get on with the planning story. what's happened at stonehenge? >> okay. i'd like to know what it is. is stonehenge basically? basically, what's happening is we've got a war over there. there's a war over there where
2:12 am
team europe is fighting, which is which. now we're in we're in team europe in terms of beating russia versus russia and this, this incident that they're doing, they moved in. i mean, i know it's a weird war because the because they could have moved in sooner. why did it take them so long. but this is kind of like the battle of gettysburg in america, where the south did this last dash thing into the. do you think it's the last dash or a big turn in the war? i don't think it's a big turn in the war. it's a sign that they're losing the war. you could make a prediction. >> it's i think they've caught putin off guard personally, and i think it's the last thing they were expecting. and i think it'll be interesting to watch how it develops. even if they pull out now, they've they've sent a warning that they're capable of turning things completely. and what do you think i heard that he's surrounded by. >> yes. men who are like, yeah, mate, it'll all be over in six months. go on then. and now he's bitten off way more than he. >> i don't think it's harder for the russian propaganda to sell it is attached with yes. no, no, no, but the russian propaganda will be telling their own people they're perfectly safe. >> we'll have this done in a while. and now there's an incursion into their country.
2:13 am
>> right. so it's going to get that narrative going. and i think this means the war is not going to be over because you're going to be over because you're going to be over because you're going to you're getting putin very angry. and i think he's a bit scary to me. >> he certainly is. okay finally, let's have a quick look at the daily star. louis, is it okay? >> the horrors of the cold baked beans deviants. this is a 26% according to a company. say that people eat their green beans. their beans , whatever it is. their beans, whatever it is. >> green ones, louis. >> green ones, louis. >> not the green ones. ones baked beans. and they think that they're horrible people. but and they're horrible people. but and the truth is, they are horrible because baked beans are incredibly toxic. do you know if you eat, you have to eat cooked beans and it's always pays to cook twice, right? >> it's got to be heinz, whatever it is . one of those whatever it is. one of those silly rubbish ones. >> well, there's a big debate about that. there's a big debate about that. there's a big debate about that. there's a big debate about that. so there should be. do you know that five baked beans , crushed five beans which beans, crushed five beans which are not baked whatever those baked beans, whatever they're called, if you eat them, you will die? >> okay, i know it's bad for you. >> the picture on the front, you see the picture of the guy? he's clearly damaged . clearly damaged. >> yeah, well, that was an
2:14 am
expression i didn't expect to see in 2024. that's the front pages looked at. you can get more dietary advice from lewis's website. come back in part two when we'll be digging into the latest news about the uk riots. labour's plan to save £4 billion, and find out how donald getting on with his latest legal problems. see
2:15 am
2:16 am
2:17 am
against. welcome back to headliners. i'm cressida wetton still joined by carrie marks and lewis schaffer. so we're going to begin this section with thursday's daily mail and news of participation trophies being given out in plymouth. carrie >> yeah, this is a part of keir starmer's plan to put the whole country in jail. one by one. and this, this story involves a judge who says all rioters must be jailed. and this is an army veteran. his name was gary harkness, 51. we always have to know everyone's name, of course, who ? who didn't? and when we
2:18 am
who? who didn't? and when we were hearing about what he didn't do and what he did, he didn't do and what he did, he didn't hit anyone or throw anything. but he's being locked up for a year. so. and he has been a. sorry. i lost my words. he's been suggested by the judge to be the least involved in the riot, which you would have thought they'd do. all the cases first and then come to him finally, as the person who did the least. and they've really assessed the riots completely at this point, and they've worked out who is the least involved out who is the least involved out of everyone, but still, they're kind of making an example of people now, and it's a bit concerning. i think, and, anybody party to the disorder has to receive a custodial sentence. so that's any part at all. so i'll just read you this bit. the court was told harkness admitted to being a binge drinker and was steaming drunk and absolutely annihilated. that's not court talk, is it? he was absolutely annihilated, my lord, and he didn't really know what he was doing. so does that mean he didn't give consent to the riot, i wonder? that would be, i believe drunkenness is ever a defence. >> is it carrie? >> is it carrie? >> no . he didn't give consent.
2:19 am
>> no. he didn't give consent. well, what did he. >> what did he do? that was so bad? he went to the. he went to the riot. other people were doing bad things. and he was standing there. >> well, he was making a nuisance of himself. he was abusive towards officers. yeah. >> is that against the law? the thing is about this country. he swore, and he waved his arms around. >> yes. >> yes. >> and he showed up at the demonstration. so this so this judge says i have to give you. you must be imprisoned. i have to give you an imprisonment. anybody party to this disorder has to receive a custodial sentence. why was he told that? it's like this country is like , it's like this country is like, it's like this country is like, i shouldn't even talk about this. because. >> was he told that? it's quite an interesting question. was he told in laws after the fact, or at least, we're pushing him and somebody else is telling him, saying, okay, when you see these people, you've got to put them in jail. >> that's he's the judge. >> that's he's the judge. >> well, this is on the same day as 53 year old woman julie sweeney, who's been given 15 months for some comments on facebook. so she wasn't even at the riots , we were talking about the riots, we were talking about this before the show. a bit of sympathy because this is a woman. i mean, there are not things i would want to say on facebook, but this is after the
2:20 am
mosque had been attacked and people were cleaning it up. and because she saw people cleaning it up, people of all faiths and nationalities in the area, she said, it's absolutely ridiculous. don't protect the mosque, blow the mosque up with the adults in it. weird thing to say , and she's now she deleted say, and she's now she deleted it. she's apologised. all of that. but she's now going to prison for that. >> yeah, and it's totally. can i can i say something about this? it's totally. it goes against all justice. she was in prison at the time. she was without bail. so she was talking from . bail. so she was talking from. they had already assumed she was guilty. they didn't offer her prison. they didn't offer her bail. they they could have waited a week or 2 or 10, whatever it was. but they she was in jail, which is a form of intimidation by the authority. we're going to keep you in jail. >> so which is to carrie's point, it's very heads on spikes, isn't it? >> i guess it is. yeah, it's i mean , and it's an awful it's an mean, and it's an awful it's an awful tweet. >> it's an awful thing she wrote on facebook was it. it's an awful thing to write. but i've seen worse almost every day on facebook and twitter. >> and this poor woman, 53 years old, he saw the picture of her.
2:21 am
she's a lovely, lovely lady. and but she spent the last nine years taking care of her husband at home. she doesn't work. she's probably . probably. >> i don't know if i'd be saying lovely lady as carrie said, it's not something i would write on facebook. right. we're in the express next. and lewis jess phillips has regrets over something. she said. can you relate to this? >> yeah, i can, i can, i can relate to jess phillips or whatever. i'll relate to you . whatever. i'll relate to you. jess phillips admits he was wrong over birmingham riot rant that she faces call to resign. and this is she basically said she said that the she said that it was justified for the muslims to show up and to and to fight off the other demonstrators because, because the reform candidates were basically goading people to do it. and the belief system . and so the reform belief system. and so the reform can the reform mps i don't know of any tory mps because the tory party doesn't exist because they're dead. they've got nothing. they don't. they're not fighting for the people or that that half of the people or even
2:22 am
anybody. so this this woman, she's the home office. i love the way it's called the home office minister. it's like the home office. i like the home office. it's like they. she's working out of her home. she's got a fax machine on top of a file cabinet, and then she can go home from her home office. >> she goes into into the living years here. and lewis is completely grasped. she's just figuring it out. >> he's just going. i understand >> he'sjust going. i understand funny names for these things. >> well, that's true. >> well, that's true. >> so. yeah. and this is being criticised by some of the tory contenders at the moment. so, tom tugendhat has said when gangs of masked men gathered in birmingham brandishing weapons and live on camera, threatened female journalists and attempted to slash the tyres of broadcast vans, jess phillips, a home office minister, chose to justify their behaviour instead of condemning it because these were not far right hooligans, but young muslim men , which is but young muslim men, which is where the two tier suggestion is coming from, along with a whole lot of other reasons. yes exactly. it's pretty much the obvious, of course. also, one of those, demonstrations a man got
2:23 am
attacked by these vigilantes and ended up in hospital. basically, it's worrying when an mp shows that they're all about the vote and trying to get in next time, and trying to get in next time, and that this clearly which she is, isn't she? she's trying to say she's she's basically cosying up to a local muslim vote that got , difficult for her vote that got, difficult for her at the election. so and she's trying to say all the right things, but it's but i don't think i don't think she'll lose her job. think i don't think she'll lose herjob.i think i don't think she'll lose herjob. i don't think that's i think anything stand down, of course, because there's always calls for people to stand. >> she's not going to lose her job over this. she may lose her job, but i'm telling you, the labouris job, but i'm telling you, the labour is basically going to be screwed because. because in certain communities where they're not going to be able to. i've been i've been told over, over the, over the telephone that that judges have minimal sentencing requirements and that i am rambling sometimes. >> who are you checking your information with here? that's my soh. 5011. >> son. >> my your son, your son, my university. let's have a look at the guardian. now. the former chief inspector of prisons says more prison places are not the
2:24 am
answer to overcrowding in prisons. so explain that to us, carrie. >> okay. this is the former chief inspector of prisons, nick hardwick, who says money would be better spent preventing crimes because labour are being urged to scrap the 4 billion. or he's urging them to scrap the 4 billion tory mega jails. he's urging them to scrap the 4 billion tory mega jails . mega billion tory mega jails. mega jails sound amazing, don't they? super prisons is what they've been talking about. >> i don't think they sound supen >> i don't think they sound super. i think they sound horrible. i don't think anybody wants to live near one. oh i thought they were like a superhero of prisons. >> well, if you watched, if you watched the louis theroux thing, they're quite scary, are they? i have watched these places very. >> can you tell us about them? but he's basically saying there's going to be a huge expansion of prison system will not solve the problem, especially because we're 99% full and one more riot will be overflow, and he says this this is his point. he says, if you think of it like a bath, which, by the way, i don't i've never thought of prison like a bath. otherwise i would be a criminal. i'd be like, oh, if i rob from that shop, i'm going to get a bath. that's nice. he says.
2:25 am
imagine the bath is overflowing and the water is still coming in. so what do you do? the water is still coming in. you get a bigger bath right? apparently, yes, of course you get a bigger bath. well, maybe. >> maybe you don't get a bigger right, right. well, he's saying he's saying you actually maybe adjust the. >> well, he's saying, he's saying they've been bailing out the bath. oh yeah. but that's going to, you know, fail. so it doesn't solve the problem. the system is set to continue to increase. so what do you do. you get a bigger bath right. but he's saying no. what you do is you rehabilitation re—education and so on. which which i get i think that's, you know, to try and stop crime in the first place. makes sense. but haven't we been doing that for years? >> and in this country there are 89,000 or maybe 100,000 people in prison. in prison, in america, there are like 2 million, and the population is only like three times america. >> america. >> america. >> they've got their bad people in america. >> so this is a typical thing , a >> so this is a typical thing, a typical thing for labour to say. we've got to stop people from preventing crime. they have no clue because they actually think if lack of money causes crime and, you know, they, they love and, you know, they, they love and the criminals vote for vote laboun and the criminals vote for vote labour, i hate to say i'm sure
2:26 am
i'm allowed to say that. >> i'm sure poverty contributes, but but we've been doing education for a long time, and knife crime is going up in the caphal knife crime is going up in the capital. and what are we going to do, educate people and say, you're stabbing people is bad. they don't like it. yeah i won't do it. >> then we've got to move on. next press next. lewis, should starmer and the eu just get room, >> well, basically, because team team europe is team starmer. he was always in favour of this. i mean, initially the labour party wasn't the pro the headline lewis. go on. okay. sorry, sorry. thank you. no one's ever told me that you're the first person to tell me that . anyway. person to tell me that. anyway. labour actively exploring, rejoining rejoining $9 billion eu scheme. secretary of state reveals. so it sounds like they're going back into europe, but it's just all the science things which which it pays for us to relate to them. we could have related to them. we didn't need to be in europe to be part of their science programs. and that's what this is. it's the galileo satellite program. and because everybody likes spaceships, so this is where
2:27 am
they're starting . yeah, am they're starting. yeah, am i right? you're absolutely right. >> what do you think? what do i think? positive. >> yeah, i think we're all aware or looking for the inching back to europe . but or looking for the inching back to europe. but i'd say this or looking for the inching back to europe . but i'd say this is to europe. but i'd say this is different that we are. >> we all are. we all that we're looking out. >> i think we're watching out for whether that's going to happen. >> but this tells me it might. >> but this tells me it might. >> this is peter karl, who's a labour frontbencher and i don't know, i kind of think this is more about, cooperation with quite pragmatic thing with, with such things as space science and so on. i don't think this is rocket science. i think it's just something that makes sense, really, so yeah, i, we need space projects, if to only find somewhere else to build more prisons , i think what's going prisons, i think what's going on, but , prisons, i think what's going on, but, yeah, i think it makes sense, isn't it? so apparently, what i learned from this is we have a geographical advantage here over the rest of the continental europe, because we're able to do vertical take offs. yeah. did you know that? >> no, i didn't i didn't know that i haven't i do know that at
2:28 am
all. >> okay. i'm better. >> okay. i'm better. >> i'm really excited to squeeze one more in before the break. trump still not having any luck is he. so what's what's happening to trump at the moment? >> he's lost his third bid for the judge, which is juan mershon. mashan mashan. he's from colombia. >> juan. >> juan. >> okay. yeah. juan mashan. >> okay. yeah. juan mashan. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i'm good. yeah, who's the judge to step aside in the hush money case? this is all about weathering the effect of paying off stormy daniels, and i went with the pun there. and so this is now, i think, the third time that what what's going on is trump and his lawyers are trying to delay this case. really until he can become president and get the judge's head taken off. >> well, he would say that it's not an appropriate judge, right, because the judge's daughter has paid money to a campaign for the other side, for the democrats . other side, for the democrats. now, of course, you can't necessarily assume that whoever your dad votes for is who you're going to vote for. but it does seem a bit close for comfort. doesn't it? >> exactly. exactly right. the daughter worked for the harris

campaign and worked for and is also working for other democratic things. and the truth is, this is an alvin bragg new york story. and i live in new york. there's lots of i used to live in new york and did i say, i don't know, i forgot where i was living? that's so funny. you've got me saying i stopped the flow. >> come on, we've got to get to the break. >> no, no. then we're going to be if we if you're rushing the stories and a few of the stories at the end, i said, just tell us. just warning you in advance. i'm saying. i'm saying that trying to get that, trying to get trump. it didn't work in the three other ones. it's not working now. this thing is irrelevant , is irrelevant to the irrelevant, is irrelevant to the election because the teams are now so are so isolated. people will vote for a plastic bag, if you know what i mean. they don't care about trump and they don't care about trump and they don't care about trump and they don't care about about always hot take from lewis. >> we've made it to the end of part two. come back for part three when we'll be finding out about imane khelif latest big rumble and academic
2:30 am
apology and the end of book festival. see you
2:31 am
2:32 am
2:33 am
welcome back to headliners opening this section with the sun and this time imani khalife has chosen two massive opponents, and i stopped washing my hair. >> okay. and this is no, that's true. imani khalife quote names elon musk and j.k. rowling in cyberbullying lawsuit and lawyer vows trump's tweets will be probed, too. it's this dude, the dude who was the boxer who is a girl. can i go like that without causing a fence? we don't know when imane khelif leave us guessing what you think. yeah what? yeah, that's not what it means . means. >> it's not a trans story. we've been making that very clear. this isn't somebody that decided to transition. we don't know that we don't know that. >> we don't know that it might be. it doesn't sound like it's a trans story, but this guy was this girl. i would say guy, this
2:34 am
girl was boxing. and then they said, hey, and she beat somebody down quite badly that people thought maybe she's not really a girl. and you look at her and she doesn't look that girly, but i like it. and, sorry, too much is that was that too much? >> show style is changing so dramatically? >> no. well, you said make it lively tonight. and i've been in such a bad mood. i'm trying to get over it. i'm over it. so it's been a backlash. so there's been a backlash because we don't know what the true story is. is she? this x y x x mix of a girl? does she have x y which is boy hormones or genes? is she born a boy? but the but the. >> but in any case, she's got a physical advantage. >> and people have said that she's a trans person in the beginning and she's going to be suing them for saying she's trans because it's against the law to be trans in algeria. i believe. and the algerian belief system is what you people are buying into the people, not you, not people who watch this
2:35 am
channel, but the people, people who support whatever . i'm not who support whatever. i'm not going to. i can't say it. >> that was clear. what do you think, harry. >> from what i understand it at all. and i'm not fascinated by it. i've read bits of it. i think there's some parts of this that's pretty interesting is that's pretty interesting is that she has. i believe she's lived her life as a woman. so it's not a trans story, but she was born intersex, which if you don't know what that is, that's something i am. i'm pretty much intersex. are you intersex, anyway , she was born intersex. anyway, she was born intersex. and which meant sort of damaged genitals and so on. and so she was designated this oddly, this story is written. i don't know who's written. the story doesn't say here, but it's very much an opinion piece. i don't know if you look through it, but yes, i did. it's certainly taken a side. the algerian was born female, but she wasn't. she was as far as i understood, designated female, which is a little bit different. and, and so she's, she's suing rowling. i think this is going to be quite an interesting case because this really is at the heart of nature. v nurture because we're just talking about the chromosomes here. so whilst we know nurture has some kind of
2:36 am
effect, you can live your entire life as a woman. but if you're born with xy chromosomes, then yeah, nature has been doing this for 100 thousands of years and knows what it's doing. and clearly all tests have shown that school boys have more strength than than adult females who even if they've trained. so there is a massive disparity. if j.k. rowling is wrong, then she is humiliating and shaming a woman. if she is right, then a man is publicly punching women in the face and getting away with it. yeah, right. so i think it's going to be a case either way. >> in the case. that's a joke. >> in the case. that's a joke. >> moving on now we're in the times and we've got news of an academic institution expelling a former criminal defence specialist without due process. how did that work out for them? >> yeah, not very well, and this is sort of a follow on story, isn't it ? he's called james isn't it? he's called james esses. he's only one person, although he sounds like several people because of all the s's? never mind that.
2:37 am
>> never mind. this show is a comedy show . comedy show. >> okay, so i can do things like that, i think we're at a really serious state. if you get banned from a school for answering questions, asking questions, which is what happened. questions about. he raised questions , raised questions questions, raised questions about gender ideology. and as a result they said, not having that, you're out. yeah. we have a point of view and there's only one point of view and you must stick to it. >> it's very sudden, wasn't it? he didn't. there was no kind of process. he was just received this email saying, end of contract, you're out. >> you've said the thing, you know, you've said the thing. the thing must not be said, not eve r. >> even >> because we ever. >> because we are even >> because we are this is a transitory time right now, in the future, this will never happen. that guy would never have gotten a job in the place. he would have been vetted beforehand. he would have been told you say anything out of line, we're going to fire you. but this was before he was in the team world. >> lewis mega dream of the future . everyone's got future. everyone's got neuralink. is that what you're getting at? yeah basically that's happened up until up until the time that they're destroyed. >> what's happened is the guy sued and. and he's he's getting some money, but he probably still not going to get. well.
2:38 am
no, i think i think he reached an agreement and they've apologised to him for. >> so i think things are changing. yeah. they accepted that they breached their own policies by expelling him without due process and contributed to him receiving onune contributed to him receiving online abuse. so this is we're coming back to something more reasonable than the burn. anyone who disagrees . who disagrees. >> no, it has actually worse, because the next guy who's going to be at this institute is going to be at this institute is going to know not to say anything because he's going to be out. they just apologised because we didn't tell you we were going to do this. that's all they're apologising for. they think they're perfectly right. kari, >> okay. i think it might go the other way. i think the next person who comes in will realise that this case has happened, and that this case has happened, and that they can't throw him out this time. >> yeah. i would like to think this is a bit of a game, but we'll see. i think so, lewis, we're in the telegraph next and diverse and inclusive . diverse and inclusive. walthamstow is rejecting a new business opening because its owner is, and i quote very different to the people here. >> yeah. well i don't believe this story. gail's bakery revolt east london is rejecting investors right wing views. and this is they want to put a gail's which is a fancy place
2:39 am
that my ex—wife goes to buy her cakes. and sometimes people go, here we have one right down the road. i can't eat there because it's all carbs and i don't care whether it's fancy or not. well it's posh carbs. it's posh carbs. maybe if you have it occasionally. this guy, his name is luke. whatever they don't want, they don't want a gail's in their town because it's a mass shop now. and this is how you know that your shop is doing really well when they don't want you in the town. and that's. and then what they're using is they're using the excuse the local people are saying, we don't like the owner because the owner is right wing . but of owner is right wing. but of course, the owner of gail's was going to be right wing. you know what i mean? they're not they're not left wing until they're supen not left wing until they're super, super successful. all all new businesses are right . super, super successful. all all new businesses are right. i don't know if this is true. i think it is true. >> do you think all businesses are far right if they're successful? no. >> in the beginning. in the beginning, you don't ask him? no. look at. >> no. definitely not. no. there's, you know, you find it
2:40 am
amongst small businesses, a lot of generosity and people who care about helping other people form businesses and so on. no, it's not, it's not. >> they're fighting for their lives. >> they're all they're all the most nice people in the world. i don't know what i'm talking about. how does he do this? how does he track these stories in other places? they're not supposed to be, you know, where you are and you know what day it is. >> and by the end, you don't know if time exists. >> oh, yes, i know. what planet are we on? what day is it. all i know is this is a local shop business that i will be supporting now. because you know what this is? >> it's a big business. >> it's a big business. >> yes, i know, but, i mean, i've got a local one. this is. this is like, you see on those local facebook forums, isn't it, where people are writing in going. i'm so disgusted, blah blah blah. and you're, you're just policing your area because some of these people in their local area have got nothing else to do. all day but to decide whether a shop should exist or not. so what's happening is the bakery. anger is rising and they've put it. they want to force the independent cafes or they'll force independent cafes out of business, and there's a
2:41 am
picture of two baguettes forming a cross over gail's logo. they're really showing them, aren't they? it is . aren't they? it is. >> it's actually an important issue because there's lots of these independent shops and we like independent. i never go to an independent. >> what's what's also behind this though is it was founded by an israeli baker. so and they've mixed up baker with banker. so and he clearly says we've just had this big diverse counter protest to protect walthamstow from the far right. >> and i doubt luke johnson would support that. so he's speculating about his politics that we should follow the grocer, shouldn't it? >> let me just say this, that that my son online says gail's is amazing. >> well there you go. so the fact carrie, we're in the independent next and sadiq khan's endless campaign of anti—sexual assault adverts on the tube is bearing fruit. >> oh, has there been adverts i haven't seen the. i don't watch television. >> no , on the tube. i'll let you know. >> i haven't been on the tube for a while. did i tell you i bought a car? i mean, it was a while ago. okay, the headlines . while ago. okay, the headlines. shocking spike in violent crimes against women on british trains.
2:42 am
so there's been a big figures show over a third of women experience sexual harassment or sexual offence while commuting. and it says despite all the adverts on the trains that you've seen. >> yeah, i've seen them and i don't know if it's despite i think it might be because of, because i think describe it. well they usually say things like they're in your eyeline and they say things like , no they say things like, no pressing, no. i've lived in london for ten years. i've never been pressed. i've never witnessed a pressing. i'm not really sure i know what it is, but there's a lot of there's a lot of don't. yeah. don't i people staring. there's a lot of that. so what i'm saying is there's a lot of encouragement that if you see something that might be sexual assault, you're very much encouraged to report it. that's to not say it's not happening, but there must be some. i mean, if you advertise things, you would expect that advertising to pay off. >> it suddenly becomes it becomes a crime in some of these countries around the world that isn't even a crime . and this is isn't even a crime. and this is the interesting thing. it's fantastic that you said that because it was explained to me. and as a man and i'm a man, is
2:43 am
that men don't really understand what those posters are. i thought to myself, same thing you did. i said, what guy is going to see this and say, i'm not going to do that because there's a poster, but it's not for that. it's for women to make a complaint, to feel good about making a complaint about it, like the press charges or something. >> it's encouragement to encourage them to. >> but at the same time that the numbers have gone up like 50% or more from 2021, which was, i think , a very slow year, we think, a very slow year, we don't know whether that's more men doing it or whether there's more or the same. >> men are just busier. >> men are just busier. >> yeah, well, but yeah, one bloke, well for all we know, i mean, we don't know. >> i don't. >> i don't. >> but it was covid time. i didn't make my point clear enough. it was covid time. >> okay. covid time . >> okay. covid time. >> okay. covid time. >> just the final section to go join us in the next section for the return of a salacious publication. news about women's brains, and surprising information about ageing. don't
2:44 am
2:45 am
2:46 am
2:47 am
welcome back to the final section of headliners. shocking news in the independent. now men are going to have access to erotic images of women where on earth will they find them in the age of the internet? oh my. >> well, playboy magazine is coming back . hooray! i'm sorry, coming back. hooray! i'm sorry, that's the wrong reaction, wasn't it? i meant. >> oh, dear, you're supposed to do the harold bishop chin wobble. i can't believe it. what >> well, you're good at that. yeah, you've been practising it, and this article is written by and this article is written by an angry feminist. i think it's fair to say . would you say that? fair to say. would you say that? yeah. just when you thought things might be improving for women. this week sees another swift uppercut to the face of feminism , with reports heralding feminism, with reports heralding the relaunch of playboy magazine next february. does she know what's on the internet? i mean, this is now playboy coming back is so mild compared to what's readily available everywhere. obviously, pornography is exploitative. it makes men abuse themselves, so that's very wrong. yeah but that's why if i
2:48 am
stop making us do that , i kind stop making us do that, i kind of think it's going to be nice for people who miss the old days of the magazine. i don't even know if people really read magazines anymore. yeah, but, you know, when i grew up, of course, it was. you reach a certain age and coming of age was going into a shop and trying to buy a magazine and then going up to the man at the counter who suddenly gets replaced by his angry wife. yeah. he stares you down right, and sees you for what? >> you really are a horrible person. we know it's horrible. not that i do. >> we know it's horrible. >> we know it's horrible. >> a one off, isn't it? coming back, i don't know, people like kitsch things, don't they? they like retro. >> it's a one off thing. >> it's a one off thing. >> yes. >> yes. >> you're right cressida, because it's a one off. it's not really a magazine. i think magazines have to be at least monthly or something. one off is an annual is an annual, and this is women. you're totally right about that. they're just sitting there complaining that it's calling a misogyny. the men want to look at women. i mean, you should be grateful that men want to look at you. >> you always go too far, don't you? i'm not a fan. i don't think it's. i mean, yeah, it's probably gross. i think hugh
2:49 am
hefner was probably, er. but it seems a strange thing to get upset about given everything else that's available. >> well, especially you can just look at pop stars now and they're taking everything off anyway. you don't need to get into this kind of soft porn, do you? and really it's you know, we're in the age of onlyfans and so on where people are doing it themselves and making money out of it. so yeah, sure. i mean, we should do things to stop the exploitation of the porn industry. it's awful. it is really awful. but at the same time, it's another example of how powerful biology is. men want to see women. >> yeah. and women want to show themselves to . yeah, well, not themselves to. yeah, well, not to me. >> parm sandhu . stunning news >> parm sandhu. stunning news from the daily mail. now, this one's about women and emotion, louis. so we've given it to you. well, this is your period. >> really does spark changes in your brain that lead to mood swings. the study shows. i didn't read this . because i'm didn't read this. because i'm not interested. it's about women . not interested. it's about women. i mean, i've lived. is that bad to say? it's horrendous to say this should you should be interested in this because it's telling you why we are the way we are .
2:50 am
we are. >> do you know something? >> do you know something? >> it doesn't matter why you are the way you are. it just matters that you are the way you are and your absolutely horrible and unfit to be around men. i hate to say it. >> what they have found out is that the period really does spark changes in the brain that leads to mood swings. so basically, what the scientists have now discovered is what women have known for the whole of history. yeah. and men have realised it pretty much as well. so there's parts of the brain that get more active, to , to that get more active, to, to assessing emotional changes of things and wanting more chocolate. i added that bit. i don't know, i honestly, why would anyone want to be a woman ? would anyone want to be a woman? why do you do it? >> i don't get it is a great question. >> no, i have an answer to the guardian. >> gosh , look, i aged a lot >> gosh, look, i aged a lot between the years of zero and 12, but apparently that's a bit early. kerry >> well, scientists find that humans age dramatically, but in two bursts. this is quite odd and interesting. so they've got it very specific at 44. and it's rather than you're constantly ageing, which you are, but
2:51 am
there's two major bursts that happen at 44 and 60. i remember mine happening at 46 because i was a late developer. yeah, yeah. so if you've noticed a sudden accumulation of wrinkles. yes. aches? yes. pains yes. or a general sensation of having grown older almost overnight. yes. then there is a scientific explanation, which is that you do this thing of just sort of leaping a few years, which has happened to me. i a new wrinkle actually woke me up the other day. it was it was so violent . actually woke me up the other day. it was it was so violent. i woke up and go, oh yeah, it was a tiny. but i felt it. yeah but this is this is one of those studies. >> it's so inadequate in the amount of research that was done for it. it could be it could be anything. is that i, i think it's, i think people want to know what it is that makes you look old or feel old or have all these things. and it's called sugan these things. and it's called sugar, carbohydrates , not eating sugar, carbohydrates, not eating at all. i knew you were going to bnng at all. i knew you were going to bring up the sugar at some point. totally. because you know what? i had a huge ageing thing when i was about 58 years old.
2:52 am
i'm 67 years old now, and now i feel amazing. so what? what the hell happened? >> don't you look amazing ? >> don't you look amazing? >> don't you look amazing? >> you leave it long enough. louis. >> yes? we've got time for one more story. this is in the times. it's about a romantic gesture. have you ever done anything like this? >> i have never done anything like this. i haven't brought my ex—girlfriend the birthday present . present. >> tell us what it is. first. because we don't even know what you're talking about. >> mark zuckerberg, are you being like her? this is like 30s. >> get on with it, mark zuckerberg, who's the facebook meta guy , unveiled a sculpture meta guy, unveiled a sculpture of his wife in the roman tradition. >> it's a it's a it's a statue. >> oh, look, it's got an image of it. >> it's a statue of his wife. >> it's a statue of his wife. >> oh. she's beautiful. >> oh. she's beautiful. >> yeah, she's beautiful. actually. it's not, it's not. >> i actually wanted to have her with her arms folded, staring him. men go in the garden to get away from the wife. >> yeah, and you know it is. i remember going to a flower shop and the show is nearly. and it's like how mad is she? >> that's. i'm sorry. louis, you've got to cut you off. let's have another quick look at thursday's front pages. so the daily telegraph has career criminals walk free and soft

2:54 am
pressure is moving in from the north and west overnight. tonight bringing with it a weather front that's going to stick around for a few days, particularly across the north west. moving into the south—east later. so through this evening, the cloud will eventually clear the cloud will eventually clear the far south and east, leaving a dry and fine night for many areas of england and wales. but that wet weather will spread across northern ireland, much of scotland and the temperatures here will pick up into the mid teens overnight. so certainly a much milder night for these areas compared to last night. a fresher night though, to come for many areas of england and parts of wales, and it will be a fairly bright start to the day, more in the way of sunshine to come for southern areas of england first thing tomorrow. across the west, though, where we're closer to that weather front, we could see some rain, particularly across parts of wales, but the heaviest rain through thursday, particularly in the morning, is going to be across western areas of scotland, moving into northwestern england. some outbreaks of rain also across eastern areas of scotland, but the far north and west of scotland already getting into that clearer weather as that
2:55 am
weather front does clear to the south and east, or move to the south and east, or move to the south and east through thursday, pushing into wales, bringing some more heavier rain for wales through thursday afternoon. as i said, many southern areas of england should stay dry through much of the day. central areas too, but there is going to be more of a breeze around tomorrow despite that breeze. temperatures still climbing towards the mid 20s, but a much fresher feel arriving into the north—west now that rain will push into the south and east through thursday night, could unger through thursday night, could linger across the far south through friday morning. but once it clears away a day of sunny spells and fairly light winds as well on friday. so it will be feeling much warmer. and there's more of that to come for the weekend. sunny skies for most of us, sunny spells at least temperatures around the high teens and the low 20s by a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on
