of minutes, transfers to the streets and people are acting on information that isn't true . information that isn't true. those are the latest gb news headunes those are the latest gb news headlines for now, i'm tatiana sanchez, headliners is next for the very latest gb news to direct your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code or go to gb news. >> com forward slash alerts . >> com forward slash alerts. >> com forward slash alerts. >> thank you tatiana , and hello >> thank you tatiana, and hello and welcome to headliners. your first look at saturday's newspapers with three comedians. i'm leo carson. i'm here with two of the most available comedians we could find , comedians we could find, cressida wetton and bruce devlin. how are you both doing? >> good. how are you? >> good. how are you? >> yeah. i'm good. thanks. >> yeah. i'm good. thanks. >> that's it? that's it. okay. this bodes well for a good show this morning. no, i have i had it with my sarah dyke. i'm all good. yes, yes, yes. >> you're looking very smart in your linen jacket. this is. >> it's kind of his regatta in

my regatta era. that's the thing. i know a lot of people are having a brat. summer. i'm combining the two. >> you're having a cambridge riviera summer kind of henley? >> yeah. yes. beautiful stuff. >> yeah. yes. beautiful stuff. >> anyway, that's the chit chat. out of the way. let's have a quick look at saturday's front pages. the times leads with strike pain for travellers despite big wage rises. the daily mail has. has labour lost control of the unions already? we'll cover that in a moment. the telegraph has. we made mistakes over letby , admits cps. mistakes over letby, admits cps. the express has life or death. tragic reality of scrapping winter fuel payments. the guardian has home office unit to kerb teenage violent crime . and kerb teenage violent crime. and finally the star has want to make loads of mates. finally the star has want to make loads of mates . just diss a make loads of mates. just diss a buddy. my best pals are backstabber and those were your front pages . and let's have a front pages. and let's have a closer look at those front pages , closer look at those front pages, starting with the daily mail.

cressida, what have they got? >> okay, they've got . >> okay, they've got. >> okay, they've got. >> has labour lost control of the unions already ? the unions already? >> it doesn't ask if they ever had control of the unions. my understanding is the unions control them. i could be wrong. allegedly. so keir starmer, they've agreed that they're going to pay 14% increase to train drivers, which is massive. the tories are going to pay 8% over two years. there's no there's no conditions with this. so the tories were trying to get rid of what were called what are they called? spanish. spanish. spanish practices. >> oh yes. these are some of the perks that come with a job in the cushy public sector. yeah, exactly. >> really bizarre. funny little details. things like if your boss says hello to you on your break, you can start your break again. it's like, oh, that didn't count. that didn't count. i'm sorry. it'sjust so didn't count. that didn't count. i'm sorry. it's just so silly. so there's all this stuff. extra time for walking to where you're going to have your break. just really, really odd details. >> even walking from the train , >> even walking from the train, if you're. if you get the train to work, you get paid for the time it takes to walk from the train station. but does this. >> i was bemused by spanish practices because i had visions of people flamenco, sangria,

that kind of thing. manchego cheese. that kind of thing. manchego cheese . but you get paid extra cheese. but you get paid extra for that. but. but i'm moving to spain. then that's that. all sounds good. well, i'm surprised to see the phrase spanish practices used in the public sector , because it's quite an sector, because it's quite an antiquated, racially loaded term. >> it suggests that spanish people are somehow lazy and have long siestas and lie around in the sun all day, when we all know that they're the hardest working people in the whole of spain. >> that's right. exactly. so obviously, this is going to cause a landslide of other people in the public sector going, oh, well, why can't we have 14%? yeah. >> and the unions, as you as you point out, as cressida points out, bruce, the unions pay a lot of money to labour. so labour are in this sort of relationship where there's a bit of a conflict of interest here. the unions are almost bribing labour to give them a nice deal, shall we say , lobbying, lobbying, we say, lobbying, lobbying, lobbying. >> that's a much better one, isn't it? but the thing, genuinely, because i have an old mother and i know i do , mother and i know i do, actually, she's 84. hi, mum. she doesn't get this on her

freeview, but ehm, where the money is coming from apparently is going to be coming from the winter fuel allowance. has that been scrapped? am i correct in thinking? >> well, they're trying not to. labour are trying not to, but they're going to have to get their money from somewhere. yes. and that's the accusation that will come from winter fuel payments, that costs of train tickets will go up. so you get to be excited about being on time. you've got to pay more. >> but this was the other thing. so a lot of my friends who did vote labour in the election, they went, they're going to nationalise the services. and you're like, well, good luck with that because as i understand, they're all franchised and not necessarily with companies that are based in here and who knows how long the contracts are. so i don't know how long it will take in which to get that. >> yeah, i'm sure it's going to be a complete mess. and i look forward to making fun of it. next we've got the guardian. bruce, what have they got in the cover? >> well, this is to do with someone who's to do with the labour party . and that's one of labour party. and that's one of cooper who's not my favourite person. i much prefer emily thornberry. she seems fun, but yvette cooper says today's teenagers have it much, much harder. today's teenagers have it much, much harder than

previous generations because of knives and mental health pressures and social media. this is what yvette cooper has been quoted as saying, as she announced plans for a new unit to prevent violent crime against amongst young people. >> so this is yvette cooper. she seems to be referring to, like, conflating the stabbings in nottingham, wolverhampton and croydon and also southport with with knife crime, which, you know, isn't, isn't really fair. i think most knife crime that we see on the streets , for example, see on the streets, for example, in london is, you know , in london is, you know, inter—gang conflict. >> right. no, i think you're right . i don't think we know right. i don't think we know about the mental health of the southport stabber currently, do we? >> but i assume we don't know anything about him, really. >> right, right. but as you say, it's not going on. i mean , it's not going on. i mean, clearly it was an awful attack on children. clearly not gang on gang violence. so, yeah, i think you're right. and she's she's kind of implying she's almost implying that had there been these special units that wouldn't have happened and that's it was a very anomalous situation, wasn't it? yeah. on the other hand, she's possibly saying that she's trying to sort

out, kind of naughty young men in gangs. and it's that typical thing of like, come to us, we'll fix it, let the state do it. and there's no mention of, like, fatherlessness family breakdown. any of that stuff. my personal opinion is that a more secure home life might be a great start, but of course, that's not. that's not how politicians think, is it? they like to come up with a new thing, a hub. >> yeah, and especially labour. they like the solution to be more politics and more government rather than letting families and society take care of themselves. moving on. we've got saturday's telegraph . got saturday's telegraph. cressida, what have they got? >> they've got we made mistakes over letby admits cps. but they've also got hamas plot to dig up war graves of british soldiers. that's a new low, isn't it? they're going to. these are these aren't soldiers that have died recently. these are like old graves , many of the are like old graves, many of the soldiers buried died there fighting for the ottomans, for control of the strip in 1970. >> and so these are graves in gaza, because when i saw this headline, i was like, oh, my god, this is almost like a

terrorist attack in the uk. but this is something that's going to be done in, in gaza or plot plotted to be done in gaza. >> right. and they're sort of historically very important. it's like the elgin marbles of, you know, of important dead soldiers. yeah. and they want to dig them up and possibly use them as some kind of, can you say hostage? that doesn't really make sense , does it, yeah. not make sense, does it, yeah. not good. >> yeah. i mean, do you think this could sully the good reputation of hamas? bruce, i'm. >> i'm not necessarily sure about that. i happen to think thatis about that. i happen to think that is kind of disgusting. the desecration of remains and burials and all that kind of stuff. but i think i think hamas are having trouble with their pr at the moment. yeah, yeah. >> but i think the people having more pr will be the dead soldiers, because in this country, i don't think that will actually be particularly moving to a lot of people in britain. do you think i'm wrong about that? >> no, i'm not sure. i think some of the, some of the younger generation who, you know , like generation who, you know, like to go marching and aren't particularly informed about things will see it as

decolonialization and, you know, all these all these fancy terms that they use to basically justify bigotry and genocide. there you go. so we shall see. finally, we've got the daily star. well, it's not the daily star. well, it's not the daily star. i think it's the saturday star. i think it's the saturday star. i think it's the saturday star. i don't know what it's called on saturday is the daily star. it's the daily star, the daily star. >> they're proud to love animals. good. yeah. no i think thatis animals. good. yeah. no i think that is good. no, i just read that is good. no, i just read that in the correct way. >> not like that. bbc presenter who? i'll tell you about. okay. >> right. okay. that's fine. so anyway, bizarrely effective way to make friends is to be pretty nasty. according to scientists. so. hello. what psychologists. psychologists ask participants to listen to what they're basically saying here. if you're a person that trades in gossip and you're prepared to people off, which i am, by the way, but i'm also prepared to say it to their faces if necessary. i won't lead with it, but if it needs to be said, that's fine. >> so you don't just talk behind people's backs. you're horrible to their face, which you see as a as a moral improvement. >> yeah, he's he's definitely he's a front stabber. i i'm a

front stabber which is i yvette cooper yvette cooper needs to get needs to get involved with you. >> you seem to be doing a lot of stabbing. >> yeah, well, that's the that's the whole thing. when i do gigs, people actually complain that i haven't insulted them. i've had people go up to the manager of venues and go, he hasn't spoken to our table. we're prepared to pay to our table. we're prepared to pay extra. and you think there is a mental health problem in this country? >> you could fill in for reginald d hunter in his gigs that have been cancelled. >> ehm, i've got nicer hair. >> ehm, i've got nicer hair. >> i wonder if his audience and your audience are the same. >> oh, could you imagine? >> oh, could you imagine? >> oh, could you imagine? >> oh, i'm thinking oh no. >> oh, i'm thinking oh no. >> what have you culturally appropriated my set? i don't think, i don't think anybody's going to do that, bruce. >> no, no. >> no, no. >> maybe that jacket i like to do a bruce impression. no. oh, honestly, sandy, too you're much. >> no, but that's the that's the whole thing. i'm glad my twitter account's been taken off me because i'm no longer being trolled for my hair online after appearances on this programme, which wasn't the audience. let's just leave it at that. >> okay? well, that's the front

pages looked at. come back for part two when we'll have public sector perks. the can't stop losing and muslims feel unsafe. we'll see

break. welcome back to headliners. i'm leo kearse and i'm still joined by cressida wetton and bruce devlin. we're kicking off this section with the telegraph and a week after demanding that children be given sterilisation drugs, the british medical

association has come out with another outlandish claim . are another outlandish claim. are they feeling okay, bruce? >> well, they are saying that tories ideologically are hateful towards working people. that's what the doctors union has been saying. the bma don't know what that means. comments come amid backlash from senior conservatives over bumper increases offered to train drivers. doctor rob lawson , of drivers. doctor rob lawson, of the bma said conservatives know no nuance now, so doesn't twitter. i want that pointed out and i will let it go. but they did take my account off me for something really ridiculous. so i know that nuance is a very difficult thing for people to grip. the bma have claimed that the tory mps are ideologically hateful towards working people in a row over public sector pay. i mean, that's a crazy thing to say. >> i mean, in my case, lucky guess. but that is a crazy thing to say. the tories have traditionally stood up for working people and made sure they get to keep more of their wages, because taxes are lower. i'm talking about the tories of old, not the not the current. >> no, i mean, what do you say

to this? it's like, no, you are, but so what? no, i know i am, but so what? no, i know i am, but what you know the thing. oh my gosh, i know you are. but what am i. yes, that i just read this and i was like, what? what what on earth do you think your point is? >> and this is, this is a medical the british medical association. there seem to be rifts with within doctors because a lot of doctors came out and condemned their own union, the british medical association, for saying that puberty blockers should be administered to children, when in fact most doctors and the cass review and experts in the field say that they shouldn't be administered to children because the side effects. absolutely. >> and i don't i really don't know what he thinks he means. is he implying that because the train people are going to get more money and they're not that i don't see why he's seeing doctors as working people compared to the rest of the population. there's a cost of living crisis, guys, so i don't know . he's talking about their know. he's talking about their earnings. what do you think everybody else is doing? yeah, absolutely. >> but going back to what we

were saying earlier, helen wheatley, who i've seen on question time, i'm not necessarily that keen. she has said that the bumper pay rise showed that labour have chosen to prioritise the unions over pensioners like my mother. >> yeah, well, yeah, they have because they're slashing the winter fuel payments and they're going to be taxing the taxing the state pension, taxing the state pensions, which is really kind of small anyway, isn't it. >> absolutely . yeah. >> absolutely. yeah. >> absolutely. yeah. >> yeah. and i mean the tories are looking at the for all their largesse towards the public sector. and you know , hiring sector. and you know, hiring more civil servants and, you know, basically keeping that sort of keynesian stimulus going and bribing people to for vote them, that's going to result in they're going to have they're going to be unable to fund this country is going to be unable to fund public sector pensions within a few years. and then we're going to hit, you know , a we're going to hit, you know, a horrendous financial crash. >> so do you remember the pensions are good. spain as we mentioned earlier. oh really. yeah apparently they have a very good state pensions. yeah i think so . grant shapps. see think so. grant shapps. see maybe we'll retire there. >> we've got the independent now and muslims feel unsafe in

britain. well how do you think the rest of us feel , cressida. the rest of us feel, cressida. >> impact of far right riots on muslims revealed as poll in poll as 92% feel less safe living in the uk now. i should say this poll is commissioned by something called the muslim census, a data organisation focusing on muslims and ethnic minorities. so it's i trust it implicitly. >> well, let's look, hamas is health authority figures. >> well , they. yes, exactly. so >> well, they. yes, exactly. so apparently 92% say they feel unsafe. having said that, i mean , unsafe. having said that, i mean, yeah, maybe they do. you know, a lot of muslim people wear clothing that links them to their religion. obviously we've seen the riots. it's not that that didn't happen. but where i get a bit nervous with this is there's calls for a legal definition of islamophobia. no, no, no, no, no. use the laws. we've already got. please. you know, we can already protect people. >> what would be the issue with a legal definition of islamophobia? >> well, i'd be very interested to know how it's defined and how it's applied. once it's been defined that i would be nervous about. >> so it could be protecting an

entire system of government and a system of organising society and a religion from from any criticism. so, you know, the protesters in iran could be seen as islamophobic and could then be locked up. yeah. >> and there's always this conflation with islamophobia and racism. and it's not the same thing as if you're questioning a religion. then that's a different thing to questioning . different thing to questioning. well, not questioning. it's a different thing to racism. it's not the same thing. yeah, well, there's no specific race of muslim. >> there's white muslims, there's a whole host. >> yeah, yeah, that's the whole thing. i don't believe that people, because some of them have had acid thrown at them and all this kind of stuff, but that turned out to be a myth. >> so no. yeah, that was a myth spread by well, i think jess phillips shared it. i think i think hope not hate hope not hate. shared it and didn't take it down even when the police denied it. and jess phillips came, came out. i don't know if that was the thing that she shared, but she came out and she apologised for sharing misinformation. but hope not. hate happened and they're supposed to be trusted arbiters of the truth. and you know,

given the advise, the government is the more specific you get, the more nervous i get. >> you know, this is why i don't like any more legislation about protected groups. no one person, one heartbeat, one human being is the way i would like to see. >> well, yeah, this seems to be a failure of multiculturalism as much as anything else. because we haven't integrated people who've come to come to the uk. we've got parallel societies with their own customs, own way of dress , and, you know, they're of dress, and, you know, they're not all, you know, fully imbued with british values, shall we say. so that's bound to create some sort of sectarian tension that could erupt into the violence that we've just seen could, you know, could could also further down the line, as these rifts become more calcified, resulting in a balkanisation of the uk and then all out civil war. not that i'm a, you know, alarmist. >> i've heard that somewhere else recently. from me. no, from elon musk. >> oh , really? yeah. >> oh, really? yeah. >> oh, really? yeah. >> please don't mention him. >> please don't mention him. >> no , we are not speaking me

>> no, we are not speaking me and elon. >> of course. of course. twitter. yeah. >> he's speaking to me. oh, you got banned from twitter. i'll put i'll put in a word for you. we've got the i can't believe like elon musk takes over twitter and you still get banned. what an how bad. i heard that honestly, i had that. >> i know i'm boring, right? we'll move on. but i've had that account for like 17 years. right. and all i said was the following. right. it was not i'm not going to do it. no, i will not going to do it. no, i will not be spoken to like this in public. not be spoken to like this in pubuc.thank not be spoken to like this in public. thank you. can i assist? >> okay, we've got the express now . i can't wait to >> okay, we've got the express now. i can't wait to find out what you said. we've got the express now. an economist's never agree on anything except that rent controls are always a disaster. but london's mayor, sadiq khan wants to implement them anyway . bruce. them anyway. bruce. >> but rent controls apparently did work in america . and the did work in america. and the reason i know that is because i was a sex and the city fan, and carrie lived in a rent controlled apartment on the upper east side . carrie. upper east side. carrie. >> everyone else was suffering. oh, wow. >> wow. like i brought it in. >> wow. like i brought it in. >> sorry, i hate to i hate to break it to you that in that one episode of sex and the city was

not peer reviewed, longitudinal study examining the costs and benefits of rent controls. >> that was probably the one study out of hundreds that didn't prove that they don't work. >> it wasn't a study at all. it was sex in the city. >> so before i get to it, can i just say the one thing that really upset me about sex and the city? the first time i went to new york, i went on the sex and the city tour on the bus, and the city tour on the bus, and i got thrown off for knowing more than the guide, right? no word of a lie. anyway, i digress. so yeah, 17 years. so sadiq khan is humiliated as it's revealed his pet policy is a disaster every time it's tried. the mayor of london is still pushing for the government to give him powers of rent controls, even though they repeatedly make the housing crisis worse. now, i think that last year with these affordable homes, did he only. yeah given that sadiq khan only managed to build 71 affordable homes across the whole of london in the last quarter, his time would be far better spent building homes for londoners. >> yeah, because that's the real problem, cressida. i mean , problem, cressida. i mean, pnces problem, cressida. i mean, prices are rising because there

aren't enough homes and putting rent controls is just going to dissuade people from investing in new property, building new property, because it's going to reduce the amount that's available. i mean, sadiq khan could pass a law saying ferraris are now £0.50. are you going to sell out of ferraris pretty quick. >> well yeah. and then you've got whoever 100 lucky people with a cheap ferrari and everybody else is stuck in this horrendous market. by contrast, it says here reports have emerged recently from argentina, where the rental supplies jumped by 195.2%. there's nearly 200% more housing since javier milei got in and got rid of rent control. >> so he removed rent control. so then there was more of an incentive for people to come and bnng incentive for people to come and bring properties to the market. so that's how it should be done. rent controls never work. they reduce mobility, even if you're lucky enough to get one of those. like carrie bradshaw was lucky enough to get one of the rent controlled apartments, you then you can't lose that apartment, so it reduces mobility. you can't take a job somewhere else. it affects the

economy like that. and also you just get chains of black market subletting, which isn't isn't good for anybody. and the money doesn't end up actually being reinvested in property. >> horrible, terrible landlord furniture. they don't decorate them. they don't make it nice. you have the horrible ikea. sorry ikea, but the worst sofa with the you know, it's all just bad. it doesn't. it's not prosperous. >> the millom chest of drawers and the klippan sofa guaranteed to give you a dicky spine toute suite. >> you're literally describing my living room. we've got the express again with the toxic legacy of humza yousaf, the scottish nationalist party can't win any elections . win any elections. >> cressida snp humiliation after a whopping by—election defeat as they're hammered by labour and tories. and that's it really. they're in a bad old way . really. they're in a bad old way. they've lost a load of seats, they're in £800,000 worth of debt, they've got a black hole that they can't fill. >> they've got a campervan that everyone should have access to. but i've not had a sniff . but i've not had a sniff. absolutely. floor paul and then . absolutely. floor paul and then.

but then this is the thing, right. that what you have to remember in scotland and i know you haven't lived in scotland for a good while, but our, our opposition since the snp has always has been the, the tories. so the fact that people are still voting for them in scotland is of no surprise. but it's interesting tonight meghan gallacher, the deputy leader of the scottish tories, she's resigned over something to do with douglas ross , douglas ross with douglas ross, douglas ross and the allegations of leader or the ex—leader of well, he was the ex—leader of well, he was the ex—leader. yeah, i didn't understand and yeah, i didn't understand and yeah, i didn't understand why he was being in, you know, involved in election coverage and everything. >> when the insight people watch this show for really like to find out. yeah but i mean the snp, do you think they're over as a political force in scotland because. no, no, no i genuinely don't. >> i think they have to go away and regroup genuinely. i think you have too many people who are genuinely dyed in the wool nationalists, and i think their children see, you know, what their parents want and all that kind of stuff. and i do

genuinely believe i'm not necessarily sure it will be in my lifetime, but i do believe scotland will become independent at some stage. but no, i don't. i think they are genuinely having a bad hair day, which is ironic because their leader doesn't have any hair. >> well, coming up, we've made it to the end of part two. come back for part three for the government's plans to have more diversity officers. just what we need and thought crimes. fantastic. see you

welcome back to headliners. we've got the telegraph now and diversity, equity and inclusion was on the way out under the tories. but keir starmer is bringing it back bruce. >> now this is a ban on civil service diversity. jobs could be reversed . so although we are reversed. so although we are aware it should be the best person for the job across the board in anything you see it in, you know, a civil service jobs, dare i say? some people say you see it in the world of comedy.

>> oh yeah. >> oh yeah. >> yeah, surely not. yeah. no. >> yeah, surely not. yeah. no. >> and so diversity, equity and inclusion this is when job hiring is skewed and there's a whole whole bunch of nefarious machinations that you know, the rules you have to bend logic. >> you have to say at the company level, we do dei. and then at the individual level, she definitely earned that job. that's the rules. and so the tories were going to get rid of jobs that were not not dei hires, but people that are there to create dei hires because it was a waste of money. >> people who work in the diversity department. >> yes. people who that's their job is to implement this stuff. >> and all they do is sort of get involved and get in the way of people hiring and bureaucratic processes, processes in their waste. they've got to tick boxes and make sure they've got enough representation from, you know, one armed transgender lesbians or whatever it is. well yeah, what they don't do is make sure the best person gets the job. >> anyway, the tories said, we think this might be a bit silly. esther mcvey common sense minister, as she said she's going to get rid of it. you're

not allowed rainbow lanyards, blah blah blah and labour, who've got some pressure coming in from the unions, have said , in from the unions, have said, oh, hang on a minute now, we might just leave things the way they are. >> allegedly, they've got some money coming in from the unions. oh no, no, allegedly about it. >> aslef gave them £100,000 in the last, last round of campaigning. >> well, why did they look like that? they could spend it on hair and makeup and all the labour people are saying, no, no, you can't get rid of it. >> there's no evidence base for getting rid of this. i think i think we do know that paying people for jobs that i just think what evidence do you need? >> no, they have they've they've done studies because they used to do studies that showed that diversity, equity and inclusion was an incredible boon to companies. but those studies were always done by diversity, eqtu were always done by diversity, equity and inclusion departments. so, you know, they're marking their own homework. now the studies show that there's no benefit, no tangible benefit in terms of profitability or efficiency or anything like that to diversity, eqtu anything like that to diversity, equity and inclusion. in fact, it is just a bureaucratic process that gets in the way of things. but keir starmer, as the

number one bureaucrat this side of, you know, the soviet union obviously loves any form of bureaucracy, any form of controlling what people think and say and can do . so no wonder and say and can do. so no wonder he's a big fan of dea. yeah. anyway, moving on, we've got the daily mail, and just when you thought this government couldn't get any more orwellian, they're planning to ban bad thoughts that just happen in your head. chris, the home office considering banning silent prayer outside abortion clinics among plans to stop protests within 150m of the building. within150m of the building. >> so we know that last year, isabel vaughan spruce, who is a devout catholic, got arrested because she'd been praying near an abortion clinic. so this has gone back and forth on both the left and the right. people have beenin left and the right. people have been in favour of policing this, which is it is orwellian , isn't which is it is orwellian, isn't it, so this is on the table again, yeah. it's ongoing and it's, you know, it's just not it's, you know, it's just not it's not good. is it? getting into people's thoughts. how do

you prove it? yeah. how's it going to be implemented? >> well, i've seen i've seen footage of women being arrested for this, for silent prayer when they're just standing on a on a pavement and there's no apparent you wouldn't know that they were praying unless they told the police officers. but i guess part of being a good christian is you don't lie to police officers. but i can't believe that. you know, i understand if you're making a fuss or in some way intimidating or, you know, making things awkward for the for the women using the abortion clinics, you know, i support access to abortion, but also support the right to stand on a pavement and think. >> but then would the thing not be then are they going to get new police officers to wander up and down regent street and go, are you praying because that's not allowed. we don't know what you're praying about, but we're not for it. it's like a friend of mine, slightly different. but just go with me. she was on the tube, right? and she claimed that someone was undressing her with her eyes and went and complained about it. and i said, that's a really tricky thing to prove. you know, this man could have i presume it was a man. he could have had a thyroid condition or, you know, some

crust or whatever. so it's a bit like , how do you know what like, how do you know what people are actually up to unless they tell you? >> yeah, i think isabel vaughan spruce did tell them, but also even so, that this is the people that want to get rid of this and make it illegal. it should be clear to everyone that these activities are designed to influence women's reproductive choices. yeah, but that's on both sides. and i used to be really strongly against any kind of influence. and i think, no, let the women go to the clinic. but sometimes they might be at the clinic because they perceive they don't have resources and so on.and they don't have resources and so on. and so on, which i know that's a slightly different topic. i mean, this is about freedom of speech, but i just wanted to get that in there. >> no, you're absolutely right. we've got the daily mail again, and i thought a white guy tackle was something to do with elliot page, but apparently it's some kind of racial stereotype. >> bruce . so this is to do with >> bruce. so this is to do with kamala harris. i think i pronounced that correctly, peeled away laughter as her vp pick tim walz confessed his culinary conservatism. i have white guy tacos, he told her. tim walz has been accused of

peddung tim walz has been accused of peddling racial stereotypes after telling kamala he cannot handle anything hotter than a white guy. taco now, in my world that i read, that is something completely different. but it wasn't on urban dictionary, so i think he's basically saying he's not a fan of sriracha or chillies. right? >> again , this still sounds like >> again, this still sounds like a sexual euphemism. >> this is what i can't get away from. yeah, it's a bit like that . from. yeah, it's a bit like that. oh, you're a red blooded male. and then they'll go like that. oh, but he's gay. and you're like, well, what's he got running through his veins? pepto—bismol so, like, what is that? what does any of that mean? do you know if he likes mince and tatties? leave him out of it. you know, spice isn't for everyone. i myself, when i go for an indian vindaloo every time. >> but people have. people are furious about this. they say it's like a minstrel show lampooning white midwestern stereotypes. according to this radio host, larry o'connor. >> well, it is , but five minutes >> well, it is, but five minutes ago we would have been fighting things the other way around and saying, calm down, don't be so

sensitive. and my instinct is like, i don't want to complain about this. i want to show that i don't think it matters. i think it's silly. i think it's naive. i think we should mock it. but i don't think it should be cancelled. >> but do you think it could harm kamala's chances in the sort of swing states that she has to win? because a lot of them are, you know , midwestern, them are, you know, midwestern, you know, folksy america, and they might not like being, you know, sneered and looked down on because they don't like a ton of chilli. >> and that's why we shouldn't interfere. let her do what she wants. and if it costs her, it costs her, you know. >> but but the thing was, i think she might not lose on that. i think she might lose on the fact that she doesn't know her food because she has. what does that mean? like mayonnaise and tuna? well, first of all, love, it's tuna mayonnaise. that would be point one. and then walsh said, no, pretty much ground beef and cheese. well, who doesn't like that other than vegans? >> yeah, this sounds like good scottish cuisine. yes, we've got the guardian now with more of the guardian now with more of the tragic fallout from the nottingham killings. >> cressida, does england's mental health act need reform in light of cqc review? so this is

in the aftermath of one of these tragic stabbings . valdo calocane tragic stabbings. valdo calocane killed three people and there's been lots of failures. they're saying that he wasn't monitored properly. things could have been different, >> oh yeah. >> oh yeah. >> because one of his mental health, observers or doctors wrote a letter saying that he's going to he's going to kill someone. so, you know, i mean, that should have been taken seriously. i would have thought. >> right. exactly. so the argument here is, do we need the act to be reformed, or do we need people to use the powers they've already got properly? and of course, this is a lot about labelling and diagnosis. and i can understand why professionals get very nervous about labelling because, you know , it has an impact on the know, it has an impact on the patient and so on. but also the reason we label is so you can predict behaviour, which is exactly what you've just said. so the argument here is no, don't change things. just just be prepared to do a job. >> yeah. no i completely agree with you. because if people are writing because that's not the first time it's happened where someone's written to , you know,

someone's written to, you know, this person, whoever they may be, a person of concern and nothing has been done. so yeah i agree with you. why does it need reformed? why not just actually do what the legislation allows you? and as you say, do your job well . well. >> magical concept. we've got the independent now and apparently arts and crafts are as good for mental wellbeing as having a job. but if it's this job that would be bad for your mental health. yeah, well, it is, helping people to access affordable opportunities for creativity could be a major boost to public mental health. >> researchers suggest arts and crafts. what even is arts and crafts? are you telling me that people are looking like papier mache and whatever? there was a woman that i think was a dragon, and she had a crafting business and she had a crafting business and she had a crafting business and she was like, oh, people like homemade gifts. and i'm like homemade gifts. and i'm like , i don't like homemade like, i don't like homemade gifts. i want something over £50 with a receipt. thank you very much. from a list i have given you.soi much. from a list i have given you. so i am not into this at all. i don't think it alleviates depression. do you know what bnngs depression. do you know what brings you happiness? things. things that are bought in. nice

packaging, not a load of rubbish. you know, no one wants pasta. i mean, i'm sure you will enjoy your pasta , pictures from enjoy your pasta, pictures from your daughter and all that kind of stuff. when that happens . of stuff. when that happens. >> but really, but you've missed the point because it's not the benefit of the person getting the pasta picture. it's the person doing the pasta picture. >> i just don't think they should be encouraged. >> well, what i don't like is that they're saying it's as good for mental wellbeing as having a job. no, but that's no absolutely not. arts and crafts do not pay the rent and we all should know that whether it's controlled or otherwise. >> but all comedians start out unpaid. >> you have to slog around, have a job. yeah you have to slog around the circuit. >> i mean, did you did you do that for your mental health? >> well, that's a very good question , isn't it, yeah, i question, isn't it, yeah, i think, yeah . it's, i genuinely think, yeah. it's, i genuinely didn't. >> it was the only thing that i never was sacked from. i tried a whole host, and i mean that quite seriously. i've tried every job. i just can't deal with people. >> i can honestly see you getting sacked from comedy at some point. i can see on twitter

you could be next week's reginald d hunter. >> i told you that's culturally appropriate in my hair. >> join the free speech union. oh, you have, haven't you? yes i have, very well. yes, yes. >> on your on your advice. >> on your on your advice. >> well that's i think we should all join. that's, part three done. coming up. we've got just the final section to go join us in the final section forjimmy in the final section for jimmy savile detergent. and a zookeeper nearly becomes for some lions. don't go

welcome back to headliners. according to the daily mail, kids are getting smarter. cressida >> they are how the a level class of 2024 could be the smartest year ever. under students. after students defied expectations to score record amount of a's and a's stars . amount of a's and a's stars. don't we hear this a lot every year? oh my god, didn't they do well ? is it year? oh my god, didn't they do well? is it grade year? oh my god, didn't they do well ? is it grade inflation? it well? is it grade inflation? it might be grade inflation. aside from the pandemic years, which

were artificially generous. it says here this has been a really impressive year. it's been the best year. the proportion of a grades rose to almost 1 in 10 9.3%. getting a's. that's a lot, isn't it? and then later on, grade inflation gets mentioned. and chris mcgovern for the campaign for real education, says attributing a rise in grades to ability was not a believable explanation. he thinks it's grade inflation, he says. young people want to do well in their a—levels, but they also want to know the truth. we don't want false credit. >> no, we don't want false credits at all. did you go to university? yes i did, yes, i didn't. >> did you? did you get a—levels or highers or whatever they're called? >> no, i got kind of asked to leave school. i did, i did the same thing would happen now if you turned up at one. oh, well, could you imagine ? hi. where's could you imagine? hi. where's the bar , no, i have standard the bar, no, i have standard grades , which were. i don't know grades, which were. i don't know what the equivalent in here was . what the equivalent in here was. and i got latin, french and music. that was it, i know. do

you know the reason i took latin was because i was morbidly, morbidly obese when i was at school. and i used to get really bullied, and i got off pe. >> okay , well, there we go. >> okay, well, there we go. that's a good tip. if you want to get off pe, we've got the daily star now and a couple of social media stars have split up. i'm not sure i've heard of them. bruce. >> right. okay. well, i vaguely have just because of the gram, but there are people that are on the programme love island right now. if you're going to go on love island for people that don't know it, it's basically like wife swap for very botox, tanned steroid people and all that kind of thing. >> but people you actually want to see? yeah. engaged in wife swapping. yeah >> they're two young, confident that they wear bikinis as their outfit don't they. or trunks or whatever. >> it's too young for me. i don't like the programme, but who are these two? so, you know, tyson fury, the boxer . oh, yeah. tyson fury, the boxer. oh, yeah. one of them's his brother, tommy fury. and the other is someone called molly—mae, who is an influencer. now that's a very important job. i don't know what it is like. >> justin welby, who's that?

>> justin welby, who's that? >> he's he's a type of influencer. >> he's just got a lot of opinions on how we should live. he's never been on love island. i was thinking i would pitch that. >> i thought it was like justin, the wine guy from instagram, but anyway, so they've got a wee baby called bambi now what? what? they're basically saying is because tommy's alleged to have cheated on molly wright with a danish woman with a danish woman. yeah, but i think women . is that not bad enough women. is that not bad enough that, you know, what's a danish woman about? >> danish images of, like, you know, a strapping viking blonde. oh helga. >> yeah, just eating raw danish bacon, screaming, take me now . bacon, screaming, take me now. >> pastry in each hand . lovely >> pastry in each hand. lovely buns. buns >> oh molly—mae so poor molly—mae. this is the whole thing. but then molly me she made an outrageous statement i can't remember what it was, but it was similar to when linda evangelista was quoted all these years ago. it said don't get out of bed for $10,000 a day and it was something to do with female work ethic. and i remember she had a bit of a backlash. not i'm not saying she deserves all

this, but what they basically saying off the back of this that gen z—ers, which are these apparently we're not they have no reason to make our relationship work anymore. and you're like, no, because they're independently wealthy. everyone thinks they're attractive , so thinks they're attractive, so why wouldn't they do what they wanted to do? >> so we're going to see further breakdown of the family unit because of this . because of this. >> yeah i don't fancy the chances for the child. i don't know the kids. >> bambi. >> bambi. >> bambi. bambi. >> bambi. bambi. that's >> bambi. bambi. that's what they've called the child. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> you know, and people think i'm the problem. really? >> we've got the daily star again. with the shop in trouble for selling jimmy savile detergent. it gives you the perfect whitewash. but only while you're alive. >> nice antique shop owner defends sick jimmy savile detergent on sale for £100 in store. so this person's got a product. it's this. i mean, why is there a jemmy savile detergent anyway? what a weird idea. >> i think it was brought out some time ago before he was known as a wrong'un. >> yeah . doubly wrong. go on. >> yeah. doubly wrong. go on. >> yeah. doubly wrong. go on. >> laughs the shop's called den of iniquity, but it's in whitby

by the sea, so the perfect product for it. well, that's the whole thing. so they are on brand. i'm not. the powder was named jemmy dazzle. i mean, good lord. but then in the middle of this it says naked bloke found in field being gored by cow after sexually. that's a different story. oh, right . different story. oh, right. sorry, sorry. >> that should have been in there. that's a that was a russian man who tried to have sex with a cow in thailand. >> so jimmy savile, jimmy savile would have approved. no, the cow. i've spoken to the cow. i can see why they put the two stories together. >> yeah. what i like about this , >> yeah. what i like about this, though, is that the shop owner says you can't delete history, andifs says you can't delete history, and it's absolutely standing their ground and saying, no, i'm not getting rid of this. it's the truth. quite right. >> well, if you're selling jimmy savile detergent at £100 a pop, i wouldn't get rid of it either. we've got the eye now, and apparently phone signal in the uk is bad. bruce. >> oh, no, it is. and i think everyone knows that you're not imagining it. the uk phone signal is really , really bad. i signal is really, really bad. i nofice signal is really, really bad. i notice it, particularly o2 is fine up in scotland, but in places like birmingham ,

places like birmingham, newcastle, cardiff and london i find it really difficult then the alternative, because you could go on wi fi that bt internet street wi fi or hotspot, that is rubbish. the stuff on the trains is rubbish, but people are basically saying that 56 but people are basically saying that 5g is pretty much a kind of hoax. we thought everything was going to be much better and it seems to keep my phone genuinely. i was waiting for it to be taken to the airport and i was just doing some shopping and my 5g dropped out for like 15 minutes and i really panicked. no, i was, i was unbelievable. yeah, yeah. >> in this day and age, well it's quickly squeeze this last story in. it's the telegraph and this must be every zookeeper's worst nightmare. cressida trainee worker locked in lion enclosure at belfast zoo. >> what? this guy is a trainee. and i don't think this was on purpose. by the way, it wasn't like this is how you teach them. see how you get on. you send them to the shop to get some elbow grease. >> yes, exactly . >> yes, exactly. >> yes, exactly. >> tartan paint. put some water in the shallow end. exactly. no, it was none of that. this was

somebody that genuinely made a mistake and locked their colleague in with lions . and colleague in with lions. and amazingly, the person isn't hurt. they really should be. >> yeah, it's a lion. >> that's kind of like a morrisons near where i live. someone was found in the disabled toilet the next day. dead. so people hadn't done due gelatins then, so it can't happen. and there was a boy that broke into camperdown zoo and was mauled by jeremy the bear when i was at school. oh my god, that's true. yeah, he lost his arm. >> there are cases of people, so this person's coming in with mental health issues or whatever, and then getting gored by. >> that's true. and then there's occasionally these amazing cases where a child falls into an enclosure and a lovely monkey doesn't do anything bad. and meanwhile the parents are having a heart attack. and then the child gets handed back unharmed. oh, by the monkey . oh, by the monkey. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> r.i.p can we just say rip harambe? he is the gorilla of the nation's hearts and he should never he should never have been shot . he should never have been shot. he should never have been shot. he should never have been shot. we stand by you, harambee. anyway, the show is nearly over, so let's take another quick look at saturday's

front pages. the times leads with strike pain for travellers despite big wage rises. the daily mail has has labour lost control of the unions already? the telegraph leads with we made mistakes over let me letby admits cps the express has life or death. tragic reality of scrapping winter fuel payments. the guardian has home office unit to kerb teenage violent crime and finally the daily star has won to make loads of mates. just diss a buddy. my best pal is a backstabber and those were your front pages and that's all we have time for. thank you to my guest cressida and bruce josh howie will be here tomorrow at 11:00 pm with adam koumas and lewis schaffer. and if you're watching at 5 am, stay tuned for breakfast. goodbye >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> evening. welcome to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. the

england, but they shouldn't last too long for the majority across england and wales. it's a fine, bright, sunny start and many places will hang on to sunny spells throughout the day. yes some cloud will bubble up. it's not going to be one of those crystal clear blue sky days , but crystal clear blue sky days, but some sunny spells throughout. still a few scattered showers over the far north of england at times across scotland, but they should be fairly light. they should be fairly light. they should tend to zip through 1 or 2 of them, maybe in northern ireland, but most of the day certainly dry and across the south, dry and fine in the sunshine. 2320 for most places in the high teens or the low 20s. feeling cooler though with the breeze in northern scotland, which is still there on sunday and still providing a few showers for the highlands, the northern isles and the western isles in particular, some may get blown into the northeast, but again, they shouldn't last too long. most places further south dry , fine and sunny and south dry, fine and sunny and again in the sunny spells temperatures getting into the low to mid 20s. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on
