headliners. you'll shuffle through the next day's papers with three comedians as guides, as in tour guides, not guide girls. girl guides, by the way, it's a mental image. you don't want me to shift. as i introduce now, leo kearse and jonathan kogan , i can see you in woggles. kogan, i can see you in woggles. do you want to buy some cookies? oh, oh, i made it dirty, i did it. i don't know why i wouldn't trust them. what have you been up to? the either of you in the girl guides? >> no, i was a cub. but then i was dishonourably discharged. >> won't ask why. all right, we'll crack on. let's take a look at tuesday's front pages. we start with the daily telegraph. tech tycoon feared deadin telegraph. tech tycoon feared dead in family. superyacht. tragedy is they're front page. the daily mail queen said trump was very rude . the person, not was very rude. the person, not the act. the times millionaires in yacht tragedy. the i says crime suspect left on streets under one in, one out prison crowding plan . the guardian crowding plan. the guardian british tech boss among the missing after superyacht sinks off sicily. and finally, the daily star. oh, baubles. and those are front pages. all right

then, leo, to the front page of then, leo, to the front page of the telegraph. first of all. >> so tech tycoon feared dead in family superyacht tragedy. this is mike lynch. not to be confused with mick lynch, who was the boss of autonomy as a tech company that was sold to hp for over $10 billion. and then there was a huge legal wrangle. he was held for 13 months under house arrest. he was a he was a defendant in a us fraud trial, which he was. he was cleared, cleared then. and he was, you know, looking forward to basically restarting his life as a as a free man. and you know, obviously as a billionaire and then this, this tragedy. so his superyacht, the bayesian, i think it's called the math formula theorem. >> yeah. yeah, yeah. >> yeah. yeah, yeah. >> that's right. and, yeah, it's hit by a tornado, real freak accident. and now he's missing. i believe his daughter is missing as well. they found some bodies. some people have been saved, but yeah, an absolute,

absolute tragedy. and interestingly or coincidentally or possibly suspiciously his co—defendant in that us fraud trial, steven chamberlain, died just a few days ago in a car crash, was hit by a car which , crash, was hit by a car which, you know, that's i mean, that's bound to get conspiracy theorists wagging. >> yeah, yeah. i mean, it's it seems odd , doesn't it? just seems odd, doesn't it? just i mean, not to be too glib, but bayes theorem, i think. i mean, i'm not a stats maths guy. i'm more of a pure maths, more pure maths course i am, but it helps you work out the probability of a cause given its effect, which feels like we might need to be applying this to these two stories. >> yeah, so it's the bayesian. it comes full circle there. yeah. okay. interesting. that's a third thing happening now. i mean it's obviously a tragedy . mean it's obviously a tragedy. hopefully they are i mean found but it does seem to be odd timing as you say. but it does seem to be odd timing as you say . and yeah, timing as you say. and yeah, it's just it's just horrible. it's just a freak weather accident. >> yeah. tornado over water. water thing, i think. well, it's definitely a thing, isn't it?

freak weather. it doesn't matter how big your yacht is. freak weather comes your way. although, i mean, there are some parts of this story as well which are fascinating and better than the miserable news that we hean than the miserable news that we hear. the woman who saved her one year old child. yeah, she held the child above water. and dunng held the child above water. and during one bit i was reading the story like accidentally let go of the child. must imagine what that feeling must be like. i managed to get her again and held her until they were rescued. wow. fantastic >> i hope you get a swimming badge for that. yeah, indeed. good on her. >> jonathan. next to the newspaper. >> yes. so crime suspects left on streets under one in, one out. prison crowding plan, like a very high end club in mayfair that i will never be allowed into. so suspects who would have been arrested or remanded will stay in the streets. solicitors have warned. after more than 100 prisoners who should have been in court stayed in police cells. so at least 136 prisoners who were held in police stations yesterday , according to the yesterday, according to the ministry of justice, basically, after the government introduced operation early dawn. yeah, they have no choice but to sort of have no choice but to sort of have these temporary measures because there's no room at the

inn for these prisoners. so they're sort of being held in limbo as opposed to a proper , limbo as opposed to a proper, prison cell. >> and it wasn't i mean, it was a few months ago that operation, early dawn, was enacted, and we had the stories about police being told to don't arrest anyone that you don't have to arrest. yeah. and i think that's the only people you should be arresting anyway, if you're arresting anyway, if you're arresting someone, it's fairly it's a now issue, isn't it? let's get that sorted. but i guess we're heading back towards that. >> yeah. and also it's worrying that just at a time when we seem to have a lack of prison space for really dangerous criminals. i mean, keir starmer or not, keir starmer directly, but under keir starmer directly, but under keir starmer directly, but under keir starmer they released , they keir starmer they released, they gave early release to a man who was involved in the machete killing of a 14 year old boy to make for space people who tweeted about it, shared memes on on facebook. and it doesn't seem that that we're locking up the right people. i'm much more worried about people killing other people with a machete than i am about memes on facebook, memes on facebook aren't a

concern of mine. and just as you know, we're our jails are absolutely jam packed , full absolutely jam packed, full labour are bringing through more laws to be able to lock up more people. so they're going to make misogyny a crime, even though they themselves can't actually define what a woman is. so how they're going to be able to define what misogyny is beyond me, even without an accurate definition, they will still manage to lock you up. >> they'll find a way to give them that, that leeway, wouldn't they? like leo? yeah definitely. he could be sent down for a short stretch on that. >> well, this this is the thing with when you've got authoritarian regimes like the labour party and the chinese communist party. i'm not saying the chinese communist party are anywhere near as bad as labour, but when you've got these kind of regimes, they bring through really broad, really vague laws that everybody fears that they might have transgressed against. and then the government , the and then the government, the regime can just pick and choose who to send to prison from, for bringing me the man. >> i'll find you the crime. yeah exactly. >> i think we should say operation early dawn, in theory, is not meant to release any violent criminals. those found guilty of sexual assaults or

domestic abuse, but just machete people involved in machete killings, you know, they find a way of not making that violent, but a facebook meme is, oh my god, it's the most violent thing . god, it's the most violent thing. >> oh, he's he's shared. he shared a picture on facebook . shared a picture on facebook. >> all right. we can move leo to the have a look a royal world exclusive on the front page of the daily mail. this is the best story we've seen in ages. >> yeah. so, i mean, it's an exclusive, but it's not that new. yeah. >> it's surprising. >> it's surprising. >> it's surprising. >> it didn't happen yesterday. yeah. so this is the queen said trump was very rude. so the astonishing claims not that astonishing. it's kind of what you'd expect. it's kind of on brand isn't it. yeah. for both of them it's revealed in a new book which also reports that the late monarch believed president the president must have an arrangement with his wife, melania. i don't know if this is because donald trump tried it on with her or what happened, but yeah, apparently, you know, she saw she saw a bit, she saw the comings and goings from donald trump's bedroom and thought he must have some sort of

arrangement. >> so the moscow tapes, he's putting it around a bit. was he so was he a swinger? was that the implication? >> i think i think he's a swinger. >> okay. was the queen swinger? >> i don't think so. >> i don't think so. >> i'm not sure about that, leo, but yeah, i mean, of course he's going to seem brash. first of all, he's american and, you know, welcome to all our american friends and viewers. but that's his whole thing. he's he's a big character. the queen is a sort of civil, beloved, gentle old dear and yeah, all was. >> hate to break it to you. what yeah, but, i mean, the idea of them having an arrangement, i don't think it's. i read this and i don't think it's a swinging arrangement. i think it's that pretend to stay married. is this not. it's pretend to stay married. try to not slap my hand away from you. too many times in public, and you get all the money. >> yeah. i think, you know, if you marry donald trump, you sort of know what you're you're in for. you know, you're not marrying a vicar or vicars even get married. i don't even know. but we saw, we saw another other footage of donald trump. remember he barged other, like, world leaders out of the way, like , literally shoved them out

like, literally shoved them out of the way so he could walk at the front. this isn't a man with the front. this isn't a man with the niceties, but he's the man we need in 2024. i mean, up the world. >> i hope this biography is just her slagging off everyone she's ever met. just a series of burns, warts and all. yeah we all write those books in our own personal time. >> you never think they're going to release. do they know it's a burn book? jonathan, we can finally go to the front page of the daily star to see if there's any news there. >> it's too soon. xmas tree is going up and shop selling festive tchotchkes in august is the headline. oh, baubles. so essentially, shops have started selling their christmas wares and i think it's too early. it's at least nine months away. my brief calculation has told me it's too early. once you see the festive chocolates up, it's it gets you in that mode . we're gets you in that mode. we're still celebrating summer. >> yeah. and also the shops would have been the moment of immaculate conception. so maybe it's right to start it now. this is christmas. we're talking about the baby jesus. yes. that's very true. >> but if you're selling chocolates, they're going to melt in the summer heat. so just wait till wait till it gets a bit cooler. >> who's buying it now, or is it

people just pretending? i'm just doing my christmas shopping and they're just gorging in the back by themselves? >> oh, whatever you buy now, there's no way they'll make it. in fact, there's some. was it last year? there was some christmassy stuff in marks and spencer where the use by date was before christmas. oh, so you know, you were going. but it is true. there is no way that food will stay in my house without me. late night just going. oh, do you think that's a plan? >> that's like a nefarious ploy. like, oh, you buy this now and then, they know what's going to happen. you're going to eat it and you'll come back for seconds. yeah >> but also very, suspiciously, i think these shops just do it so that we all go, well, it's too early. it's disgraceful. let's get some front page free advertising for ever shop. this is. >> yeah, but we don't know which shop it is. yeah. >> what is it called? >> what is it called? >> it's very hard to get really upset. oh, is that woolworths. >> oh no, that's not a sainsbury's. that looks like an asda. i'm judging that from the, the prices i've never stepped foot in one. i recognise the pnces foot in one. i recognise the prices on the side. you've never stepped in an asda. >> no. >> no. >> not allowed. you are so posh. what's your what's your supermarket of choice, >> well, you wouldn't know it. it's in the lounge at heathrow.

well, that's. >> the front page is done in the next section. office parties banned migration saves lives. and guess who's the most politician. no. you're wrong.

welcome back to headliners i'm stephen alan still joined by leo kearse and jonathan kogan. leo the daily mail people in a new survey are saying that they don't like keir starmer, which i think can get you arrested these days. >> well, so more than half of british people believe the uk is heading in the wrong direction under labour, as sir keir starmer's favorability ratings fall to zero, this poll reveals by ipsos you can trust is one of the established companies. so they found that 38% of people have a favourable, favourable opinion of keir and 38% have an unfavourable one. so i guess a lot of people like that, he calls half of britain racist and

far right bigots and thugs, and the other half don't like it because they're the they're the people getting called that. and the survey also revealed that 22% of british people think that britain is heading in the. just 22% think britain is heading in the right direction, while 52% think britain is going in the wrong direction. so this is i mean, this is cataclysmic for a, for a for a party so early on in its, in its stewardship of the nation. they've got five years to go. you're supposed to get these terrible ratings near the end when you get voted out, like rishi was. >> well, what's interesting, his approval rating is zero, but he's also the most popular politician asked about in the polls. so it's not really saying much for our cream of the crop politicians. if your ratings are already zero, surely now's the time to get in as much unpopular policy in as possible, because you can't go , can it go lower? you can't go, can it go lower? can it go to minus what everyone else is minus? oh everyone else is minus. >> all the other politicians like rishi is minus 50 something. oh goodness. nigel farage was —20 something of the last one. >> you can't go past minus one hundred. >> what happens if you do? >> what happens if you do? >> well, there's only 100. >> well, there's only 100. >> oh, god, i shouldn't be doing

this show . and also the survey this show. and also the survey when they're asking about going in the wrong direction. >> yeah . the way it's written up >> yeah. the way it's written up looks terrible. but the number of people who think we were heading in the wrong direction at the end of the tory government was actually higher. i know what you mean. that that was the that was, you know, the, the dying embers of their administration. but politicians think that the start of being in charge is when you should do the, the big things. yeah, the unpopular stuff. but i mean this is quite unpopular but they stretched it. >> they're not doing unpopular stuff the same way as like margaret thatcher did unpopular stuff. but you could see she was remaking britain to make it prosperous and dynamic , whereas prosperous and dynamic, whereas labour are remaking britain to make it stultifying and authoritarian. all this stuff they've been talking about, bringing through facial recognition, policing the internet, all these authoritarian rules, you know, laws against misogyny, laws against harmful posts on the internet. they're not the sort of thing that's going to stimulate the economy, the sort of thing that's going to stimulate the hiring of a lot of civil servants to rule over us and police our lives. it's going to create this sort of kafkaesque state, basically

recreating the soviet union , but recreating the soviet union, but worse because it's in britain and they've got that phrase online. >> was it harmful but lawful? but hateful or something harmful but not illegal? harmful but legal, which is the kind of thing where phillip schofield is whistling and pointing at the tv like that. dicaprio hey, it's me. >> yeah, that's exactly the thing we're talking about. >> are you worried? >> are you worried? >> jonathan i'm a little bit worried. i am not liking the sign of where things are going. it seems to be a bit leading down an authoritarian path, and the natural anti—authoritarian the natural anti —authoritarian guy the natural anti—authoritarian guy with a slant against that kind of thing. i think he should just. just relax. why can't we all get along? you should just chill. just chill. well, come on keir. >> keir starmer needs to trust the british people more. at the moment he's saying, oh, none of you can be trusted with anything. you're all evil. we need to monitor your face. but you're not allowed to do anything. you're not allowed to. you know, we're not going to let you go outside or speak to each other or anything like that. and i mean, you think i'm joking? that's exactly what he was saying during lockdown. and he needs to trust the british

people. it's a great country. we've always been pretty good at self—governing. that's why we haven't, you know, needed a constitution or anything like that. and i think any leader who comes in and starts throwing their weight around and treating it, treating us like he's jinping, need to be more laissez faire, needs to be more lazy . faire, needs to be more lazy. you think more of a boris. >> do you think there's an underlying ideology there that he has? do you think he is in in his heart, very authoritarian or he's just sort of reacting to the riots and stuff like that? >> you know, the uk has always had like half of the uk is dynamic and entrepreneurial, and the other half is just the most horrific, ugly, fat, leftist , horrific, ugly, fat, leftist, socialist pigs that just want to like , stifle everything. like, stifle everything. >> i would go back to jonathan for balance, but i don't think he's going to say anything to balance that up. so we'll just move on. >> no, there's some races are fat. >> yeah. jonathan, the daily mail with a very positive story of immigration. are we sure this is the daily mail? >> well, they're allowed one pro—immigration story per year. and this is it. okay. hero security guard who foiled leicester square. knife attacker reveals he is a migrant who came to uk to study as he declares

this is our country. we came here as a choice so we are protectors, not attackers. so young. protectors, not attackers. so young . abdullah, who is 29, who young. abdullah, who is 29, who was guarding a nearby tea shop, he actually managed to very bravely and heroically disarm a 32 year old suspect who allegedly had the. this is obviously tragic and disgraceful , obviously tragic and disgraceful, had the terrified schoolgirl in a headlock and unfortunately stabbed her eight times. and this guy. yeah stepped up and, i want to say took him down and disarmed him and yeah, absolute legend. i'd like to think that's how most men, myself included, would act. you never know until you're in that moment. but yeah, good on him, but i guess they're pushing here. the, the interesting fact is like, oh , interesting fact is like, oh, he's a migrant. we saw some migrant related , stabbings or migrant related, stabbings or not necessarily migrant related, but related. i don't know, i don't read the news, but basically. yeah it's. yeah. so that's they're saying, yeah, he's a good migrant, which also kind of seems a bit like, oh, he's a good samaritan. what's your point? can't, can't we just assume everyone's good? i don't

know, leo. well, we can't assume everybody's good. >> not the stabbing guy. there's another guy stabbing a girl with another guy stabbing a girl with a knife. so that's not good. no, i think this guy's brilliant. and, you know, can't we vet migrants more thoroughly instead of just letting anyone who wants to come to the uk on anything that floats? can't we vet the migrants? so we make sure that, you know, in captain america, they british, they put a grenade there and see if he jumps on it. >> that could be the test. >> that could be the test. >> no, that's a stupid point. but why can't we why can't we vet? why can't we vet people? you know, when you go to the airport, you got to go through scanners. you got to take your shoes off like little old ladies. we've got to take their shoes off. you know, they're putting their hips out, trying to take their shoes off, trying to take their shoes off, trying to take their belt off so their trousers fall down. we don't do that to the 22 year olds coming from god knows where they're jumping off onto the sand. we just assume like labour and all the all the people on the left just hold their fingers and say, oh, i'm sure when they step onto that sand, they'll be magically imbued with british values of fairness, fairness and tolerance. and as we've seen that that's not where vetting would take place in the airport or on the sand. >> vetting would be the immigration policy, whether it be the asylum policy or migration . migration. >> we can do it in the sand.

>> we can do it in the sand. >> yeah, but it would be more it would be more effective to actually have it written into the actual policy that we have. yeah yeah. >> but it needs to happen at some point because i mean, at the moment this has been held up as an example of, oh, multiculturalism is a great success because this security guard is an immigrant and he stopped another immigrant from stabbing a girl. and it's like, man, that's not 100% success story. shouldn't the lesson here be you can't say you can't find one example of someone and presume everyone of that category is exactly the same. >> it's like saying a capricorn was arrested doing something. therefore, we should not trust capricorn. >> but what you could look at is the statistics and you could look at, you know, proportionality and you know , proportionality and you know, demographics that are more likely and have shown patterns of, of, you know, i don't know for example, committing large scale terrorist atrocities, you know , things like that and know, things like that and maybe, maybe have some sort of , maybe, maybe have some sort of, vetting policy that reduces the chances of things like that happening, because i think we can all agree that, you know, mass killings aren't that great. >> yeah. and was anyone else shocked by the phrase guarding a

tea shop? do we have to guard tea shop? do we have to guard tea these days? >> that is keir starmer's britain from the americans , the britain from the americans, the layout to the telegraph to spain, where sadly, there's news that shows immigration tensions aren't just happening in the uk. >> yeah, so spain's far right. >> yeah, so spain's far right. >> stoke's anti—immigration tensions after an 11 year old child is murdered. i mean, that's the headline in the telegraph. not not the guardian, but in the telegraph. so a child has been stabbed to death . but has been stabbed to death. but the real problem, according to the real problem, according to the telegraph, is far right bigots who are saying they they don't like children being stabbed. i really don't understand this. so they're saying that the murder is being connected to or far right. this far right phalange party is connecting this murder to high levels of immigration, and they don't know yet if he's , if he's don't know yet if he's, if he's foreign or if he's if he's , you foreign or if he's if he's, you know, a spanish guy who did it for other reasons . know, a spanish guy who did it for other reasons. but but this is a horrific murder. so he's the victim is known as mateo, who's playing football at a

sports complex near toledo. when a masked man burst onto the field and stabbed him multiple times, the killer escaped and his whereabouts remained unknown on monday. and while you know farage, i'm going to say far right, i'm not sure how far right, i'm not sure how far right they are. well while they're being criticised for, for, you know, linking the immigration, issue and the stabbing, there's a precedent for stabbings like this. we've seen lots of stabbings across europe. you know, people targeting children , people targeting children, people targeting children, people targeting toddlers, on behalf of islamic state. and they, you know, they're not they're immigrants. they've come in from from outside. so i can understand, you know, with that precedent. i mean, if this guy was motivated by andrew tate or some, you know, the left, the guardian, labour politicians have no problem saying, oh, well, this is andrew tate, this is he motivated this , you know, is he motivated this, you know, we need to stop it. so i don't know, i think if you want to stop the far right, secure the borders and make children safer, because at the moment people are getting called far right. if they don't like children being killed. >> jonathan, do you think there's a chance that this story is so big in our news because of

the similarities of what we saw here? >> yeah, i think there. i think there are direct parallels, and i think we're going to unfortunately, continue to see things like this happening. and i think the reactions are just going to get more and more heated. and it's essentially a bit of a powder keg. so yeah, i mean, i don't know what the solution is, but it's just yeah, it seems to be almost the opposite of the previous story where a stabbing was. >> jonathan, we can go to the i paper just when it looked like paperjust when it looked like kamala harris could do well in the us elections, the left gets involved . well, yeah. involved. well, yeah. >> the last thing the dems need is the left voting for them. so kamala harris faced his first major hurdle as thousands gather for gaza protests. so a coalition of grassroots organisations gathered and then marched towards the united centre, where harris is to formally accept the role of the democratic party's nominee for president. so this has been a group of protesters who've got together to come and protest kamala, essentially where they are essentially asking her or campaigning for kamala harris to

break with bijan biden's largely supporting policies of israel. but they didn't just protest that. they also protested, for they held their 1st march on sunday calling for not just a ceasefire, but also in support of abortion access and lgbtq rights. so they sort of they got it all in there. there's a what's omnivores. is that the omnivores. yeah >> omnivores even when it's completely contradictory . completely contradictory. >> yeah i mean i guess you've got yeah i mean the old thing, you know, the queers for palestine when you know, they wouldn't be accepted in there. yeah. so i guess it's just, i mean, you're always going to get people protesting at, you know, the extremes of every political party. and this seems to be kamala's first challenge. >> it's going to be helping trump . trump. >> yeah, it probably will help trump because this is i mean , trump because this is i mean, this is the sort of base of the democrat party. this is the highly motivated young people. and of course, they're raving lunatics. they're even more communist and psychotic than than the democrat party itself. and kamala harris is openly

communist, by the way. i mean, she's there's going to be terrifying. if you thought, you know, if you thought joe biden overspent with public money and was, you know , slightly was, you know, slightly authoritarian, that's absolutely nothing compared to what kamala harris is going to be. but yeah, they they hate the democrats because they support israel and they support you know, a jewish state, whereas, you know, most , state, whereas, you know, most, most young people on the left want to want to erase israel from the map. they openly chant, they want to clear it from the river to the sea, so yeah, obviously they're going to hate anybody who supports israel. but what's interesting is the democrat convention. you can, you can get a vasectomy if you're attending . really? this you're attending. really? this is how i mean, it's a self—correcting problem, but you can i don't know, ijust self—correcting problem, but you can i don't know, i just find that, like, democrat men already have a sort of reputation for being a bit like low testosterone. but to actually have your balls cut off at the democrat convention, i mean, simply disconnected . simply disconnected. >> they're not cut off. they just just have you cut off my wi—fi. >> i got no wi—fi, so i think

it's the same. >> pull the plug out. i think it's the same with testicles. >> oh, god. >> oh, god. >> well, that's another section polished off in the next one. >> banning books, banning prayer. and you can't even spit at tesco

next. welcome back to headliners jonathan the telegraph. tourism to britain is suffering . why to britain is suffering. why wouldn't people want to see our majestic poo filled rivers and the natives doing their traditional evening riot? >> we are a noble people indeed. why the rest of the world doesn't want to visit britain. so, according to a new report by the centre for economic and business research, aka money nerds, britain attracted 38 million tourists in 2023, down from a 2019 peak of 40.9 million. so it's gone down by a few mil, and apparently that's because britain is being outperformed by its competitors. so europe is doing a lot better. i mean, who's coming to england on holiday? england is for

living. europe is for holidaying. that's obvious. that's just how it works. i mean , that's just how it works. i mean, england's expensive. it's one of the least competitive, countries for money. how far your money goes from competitiveness, price for travel, you know, there's no free tax anymore. needs to be if you buy something, if you were here on holiday, you get the tax exemption. and there's just raw sewage in the rivers. so all those famous thames swimming stay out the rivers. >> yeah. i never go in the rivers. >> i hardly ever go in the river. >> i'm worried about pooing the rivers like feargal sharkey. is he going? is he wading about in the rivers every day? like, why do you care? you're not dolphin. you don't go in the river. >> the dolphins swim in rivers. probably. >> yeah. the yangtze river dolphin does. >> oh that one. >> oh that one. >> i can also tell you which river it swims in. which river? the yangtze. oh is it not still annoying to be beaten at tourism by a country like spain that has protests that spray water pistols at tourists and say tourists go home, and people would still rather go there than better for holiday, isn't it? >> it's nicer, it's sunnier,

better food . better food. >> yeah. and also that's like don't live there. that's like a hot woman being mean to you. like you still want it. >> that's the only way i can finish. >> yeah, yeah, but britain's got some good stuff. we've got free museums and they're good museums. and like, if you don't want to go to one of these other countries, don't worry. we got, we've got their stuff in our museum. yeah. and if you can't make it to the museum, we will sell it to you on ebay. >> yeah. and it's also really expensive to get in. i mean, a lot of this, this article actually, even though it's in the telegraph, points out, brexit played a big role in changing all the. but then the peak was in 2019. yeah, it feels like a lot of the brexit restrictions would have been in by then. >> well then then yeah i guess so. it's so long ago. it's a different world. but look, just, just go to france like a normal person on holiday. yeah. josh howie is in france. don't rob his house. oh, yeah. >> they said. they said one of the reasons they said is the axing of hs2. yeah, because i should imagine a lot of people in paraguay being like, oh, i can't go to britain. they axed hs2, you know what i mean? >> it'll take ten minutes longer to get to manchester. yeah. leo,

the daily mail, should silent prayer be banned. what silent anything is a miracle. normally people just go on about their thoughts. >> yeah, i mean, this is an incredible story. so a christian charity volunteer has been awarded a £13,000 payout. an apology from police after being arrested for praying silently outside an abortion clinic. so not, you know, waving a placard, not, you know, waving a placard, not openly praying, just silently praying in her own head. so she was literally arrested for a thought crime. not even not even a speech crime. this isn't even a matter of free speech. this is a matter of free speech. this is a matter of free speech. this is a matter of free thought. and i guess you could allied to the police and said, no, i wasn't praying at all. but you know, she's she's praying for cash. >> she was like 19 grand. >> she was like 19 grand. >> she was praying she was doing prayers for the women going into the abortion clinic. and this comes just days after reports that the government is considering formally criminalising silent prayer outside abortion clinics, with new legislation set to come into force. yayi so prisons are prisons are too full, so we're going to put people who pray

silently in their head in prison as well. i mean, this is absolutely nuts . would you absolutely nuts. would you rather live next door to a machete killer who's going to be let out of prison, or somebody who prays silently inside their head as long as she keeps it down? >> yeah, you know what i mean? >> yeah, you know what i mean? >> like. all right, just just to play >> like. all right, just just to play devil's advocate, could you say that? >> i mean , i think it's >> i mean, i think it's ridiculous, but could you say that her standing there and praying was a performative act which is essentially protesting ? which is essentially protesting? she's just being quiet. so it's like her presence there is like , like her presence there is like, they know what i'm doing. but i mean, it's ridiculous . mean, it's ridiculous. >> the whole thing, they'd have to go to the window and see her, and they then have to be offended or upset that somebody is standing silently. and i just can't see that, you know, i think you've got to have a reasonable amount of give and take. and, you know, i believe that women should have access to abortions. but, you know, i can also understand that a lot of people find it, you know, absolutely horrific and traumatic. you know, these foetuses are being terminated. so i think people should have the right to silently stand on a

pavement, you know, somewhere near an abortion clinic. i don't think they should have the right to, you know, protest or jeer or anything like that . but this anything like that. but this woman wasn't doing that. she was standing there silently. this is this is i mean, this is really crossing a rubicon when it comes to . to. >> but the good thing is, she didn't she was let off. there was no conviction. >> she got 30 years worked. >> she got 30 years worked. >> she got 13 grand. so but that's taxpayers money. i don't want my money going into it. like silent prayer. people silent prayer. >> it's the biggest con in the independent. some school libraries are banning lgbt+ books. but on the plus side, no one goes to a library. these days. >> that's very true. so investigation reveals uk schools are banning lgbt+ books after complaints from parents. so a six month investigation by index on censorship has revealed that 53% of uk school librarians polled have been asked to remove literature, and in more than half of those cases , books were half of those cases, books were taken off the shelves. so this snapshot survey has shown that it's only two dozen librarians had experienced this kind of censorship, with one saying they'd been told to remove every book with an lgbt theme after a

single complaint from one parent about one book. so they've given about one book. so they've given a few of the specific titles that have been removed. so one is called this book is gay by juno dawson, one is called juuan juno dawson, one is called julian is a mermaid, which is a picture book about gender nonconforming boy . one is called nonconforming boy. one is called how to nosh someone off by leo kirst. now all these books are just being removed, which you got to. you got to hook to a nice . nice. >> mental image. that's just ruined me forever. yeah, well, now i'm asexual. so? >> so is this more censorship? is this creeping censorship, or are some of these books being proven to be inappropriate for young children? well, i don't actually know what the age of these kids are. >> it includes comprehensive school like secondary schools in the. >> oh, well, in which case that does seem heavy handed to me. that does seem very heavy handed, heavy handed, even if you find the book where you find something in that book you don't like to ban all books that have any reference in the title. >> you're literally judging books by their covers because that one book is transgressed. the rest should all go. that's

why books have got covers so you can judge them. >> they've got little titles, tells you a little bit about what has it got a picture telling you what's what's inside. oh the five going go camping in devon. like inside. oh the five going go camping in devon . like that's inside. oh the five going go camping in devon. like that's i know what it's about. but the real problem here is that lgbt activists tried to sneak basically pornographic material into the into the school library. so they over chanced their arm. you know, they're trying to they're trying to make, paedophilia legal. basically, they're trying to recategorize paedophiles as minor attracted people. this is all part of the, you know, the plot to sort of you know, get pornographic material in front of children and make that normalised. and then the next step so you know, they shouldn't have done that, don't do that. >> and then that's also very much the accusations of what happensin much the accusations of what happens in america, whereas we're not seeing any of those books being talked about in this story. >> yeah . no, i story. >> yeah. no, i think story. >> yeah . no, i think some of >> yeah. no, i think some of those books, i don't know, i don't i don't really care. i think, you know, ban these books as well. you know, i'm all for free speech, but not when it's something that you don't like. no, no, i've read the headline and formed an opinion. >> leo, the telegraph claims that the transgender paralympian

has an advantage in running and maybe one in parking. >> so a rival of the paralympics, first openly transgender runner valentina petrillo, has spoken out over her opponent's potential advantage. so katrin mueller sounded the alarm over the participation of valentina petrillo, who she will face in races for the visually impaired at paris 2024. she was groping around in the changing rooms and no, she wasn't. but this this is a 50 year old. the transgender athlete is a 50 year old who transitioned in 2019 after undergoing hormone therapy, having previously won 11 national titles in three years while competing as a man. so obviously , you know, can beat obviously, you know, can beat men probably going to be able to beat women as well. like once he stuck a dress on. and the funny thing is, so speaking after competing against petrillo in a recent race, the german who's now complaining about having a trans athlete, said for me, petrillo's gender wasn't a focus because it didn't affect me. i didn't even notice because i couldn't see her because this

is. >> but it did affect her, right? >> but it did affect her, right? >> because they were racing. >> because they were racing. >> well, yeah, because they were they were racing. but she couldn't she couldn't see because it's not happened yet is it. >> we don't know the result, the actual race. >> look i can't be expected to read every story all the way to the bottom. it's four pages long, but i think, you know, you can identify as a woman. >> this is this is something that keeps popping up across athletics and across, you know, the olympics. they're still having issues around it, you can you've got the right to, you know, transition and live your life as a woman . but you don't life as a woman. but you don't have the right to be a female athlete. >> i mean, the athletics bodies have banned. it's just the >> i mean, the athletics bodies have banned. it'sjust the ioc have banned. it's just the ioc and the ipc, wherever they're called, have decided to be be all about inclusivity in these ones. >> fair enough. well, in a statement last week, petrillo said, i still find it hard to believe. believe it. and i'm keeping my feet on the ground because my chance to participate in tokyo was missed by a whisker, which is obviously the beard that the jonathan the telegraph somehow tesco are the natural predator to the hawk tour girl. second mentioned two mentioned oh god, now i'm hard .

mentioned oh god, now i'm hard. tesco staff given dna spit kits to trace abusive customers. this is hilarious. so tesco has armed its delivery drivers with dna testing kits to help police trace abusive customers who basically hawk tours on to delivery drivers. so these staff have been, assaulted, maybe because they didn't give a good enough service. that's why we do it, you know, just be on time and you don't get spat on. so, yeah, these so—called spit kits , yeah, these so—called spit kits, have to collect samples. so if you get literally spat on, you collect the sample, you put it in a cup, and then they use the police to identify the dna. if you've been on, you know, 23 andme on ancestry.com, you're on grid. >> but also this story, these are home deliveries where they're using a dna kit to identify the customers, check the thing. it tells you where you've just been. >> oh, my god, i didn't even think of that. that's exactly right. >> and also some of the, some of the reasons some drivers said they'd been spat at in altercations when asking customers to provide id for alcohol. it's like they bought it online. so surely there's some sort of verification process there. you know, you

can't shop at tesco online if you're seven years old. >> yeah, i don't know how it works. maybe. maybe you. yeah. if you have your own like debit card, if you have paypal maybe you could buy it. so maybe they do need to id but i don't know. doesit do need to id but i don't know. does it just don't spit on tesco's. yeah yeah. save it for little often we don't agree but i think i'll i'll go with you on that one. >> all right. coming up in the final section we're going to be taking a look at playing computer games, dating apps and ai. oh

welcome back to the final section of headliners leo, the daily mail, the new snow white star has managed to make the dwarves not the most offensive part of the film, so snow white star rachel zegler derails the remakes ad campaign with another woke outburst. >> after branding experts warn her antics may trigger a

boycott. so she's triggered a storm of controversy . storm of controversy. previously, she said that snow white she hated the original snow white film, which is a good thing to say when you're cast as snow white in the remake. she said the storyline was weird, referred to the prince character as a stalker and said that she'd ensure the remake would ensure any fairy tale smooching was consensual, which kind of you can't really do with the storyline where she's asleep for 100 years or something like that, unless you fall asleep with a sign saying , that, unless you fall asleep with a sign saying, i'm up for it. >> whatever you whatever you do, i'm down to. if you're a prince, if your income is above a certain level, are you six foot? >> but now she's she's got another controversy. she. and this is the release of this film. it was delayed for a year to try and wait for the controversy to go down. >> it's been a pr nightmare for them. >> they've remade it and stuff and i think the dwarves are all like six foot tall now and stuff, but she's she's repeating hi ho because that's offensive. yeah, yeah . that's her, so she's yeah, yeah. that's her, so she's waded into the israel—palestine

conflict, which is a great thing. i mean, you're a 20, 23 year old playing snow white. you're not exactly. you know what i mean? >> i wondered what she had to say on it. i was thinking, who's going to say, well, you know why this is? >> because somebody tweeted at her, that gal gadot was hotter. so now obviously gal gadot is israeli. this is. and she's now taking on the role of the evil queen who's jealous of the fairest of them all. >> well, she said so rachel zegler has tweeted, always remember she she , you know, remember she she, you know, tweeted a picture. she tweeted the trailer of the film and said always remember free palestine, which basically means she wants israel wiped , off the map. israel wiped, off the map. i assume that seems to be what people what people mean when they when they say that. and it says, it says here. the teaser trailer shows zegler as the titular princess, but i've never seen her as that titular , seen her as that titular, >> jonathan, we shall move on to the telegraph. does playing violent computer games harm you ? violent computer games harm you? i don't know, growing up, i played a lot of tetris, and now i'm a terrible builder. >> i played a lot of mario, and ihave >> i played a lot of mario, and i have stamped on a few turtles, but that's something else.

playing video games is good for you as long as you stick to a three hour limit. so a study of almost 100,000 people in japan, the home of video games, has shown that playing these video games on a console can improve mental health and life satisfaction. while also relieving stress. this is something i've been arguing with my parents since i was about four years old. it's good for you. let me do it. so a study at nihon university in tokyo revealed that playing on a console rather than a pc, which is for giga nerds, is basically for good you. but if you play for good you. but if you play for too long, it ruins your whole life and you should just play whole life and you should just play for no more than three hours a day. and also that nintendo switch is the most fun console, which i suspected ps5 is good for lads, nintendo switch is good for the chicks, and the kids do anything for three hours and it's probably bad for you. >> yeah, it sounds like a long time. you could watch lawrence of arabia or something and not the suggestion you should, but games are rubbish. now, i remember when i was a kid, games were fun, like you. just all it was was like the game was a game. you played the game now

like you try and play a game. you got to like read a manual before you do it. there's so much complicated stuff. you get to craft weapons and ammo and it becomes a job. you got a backpack out of this spreadsheet of all this stuff in your inventory, and you've got to like, progress your character. it's like, i just want to shoot stuff in the face. you don't just let me shoot stuff in the face. is that too much to ask? >> mortal kombat used to be, oh, just beat that person up. but now, oh, you got to sit there through cutscenes. when raiden goes back in time. what? i didn't want to watch a film. i wanted to play a computer game. >> yeah, and if i do want to watch a film, i'll watch a much better film than, like, the cutscene in a computer game. >> i don't know, mortal kombat is pretty good. leo the independent, you know, you've been dating, you've been, you know, you've been on the dating apps too much when plenty of fish isn't a website. it's something you've had to say to a doctor . doctor. >> so can you really be addicted to dating apps? this article says few things can compete with the feeling of validation you receive when you discover somebody you're attracted to is also attracted to you. that's when you swipe is it to the right and then you match, and then you get the thing you

matched and that gives you a dopamine hit. but then people are addicted to that dopamine hit. instead of actually meeting the person starting a family and having kids. but this , this, having kids. but this, this, this is really a press release for a new dating app called matter, which is for people with neurodivergence and so on matter users can share details about any neurodiverse conditions they may have on their profiles. they're also given the chance to take breaks and let their matches know they'll be doing so. blah blah blah. so basically, if you want to, like, really seal that vagina shut before you've even met the person, you can just you can tell because everybody's got adhd or whatever, he's got something, you know what i mean? but if you're going to be the sort of person who's all like, i've been diagnosed and this is what i use as an excuse for not being able to do anything in life. it's like, man, just i reckon i could, i reckon i could clear up on that app because like in the land of the blind, the adhd is king. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and i thought adhd would be good for dating apps. you know , good for dating apps. you know, the short attention span, you're just you know, you can do all your masca not good for relationships. >> great at the swiping . yeah.

>> great at the swiping. yeah. do you reckon you could try and fit this last one in because it's kind of related, jonathan, to the metro. you can use ai it's kind of related, jonathan, to the metro. you can use al to end relationships. yes. and a deep fake of you and a sister. >> yeah. deep fake is a good way to describe this. so i hate break—ups. so i get chatgpt to dump people for me. so this guy called james has essentially got chatgpt to write a break—up note to the girl he was dating and he's done it. i mean, you can get chatgpt to write most things. really. it's not funny yet. we'll get there one day, but yeah, and you know, a nice break—up note. why not? why? why write it yourself? i've got chatgpt to write a moonpig card for valentine's, and i have no idea what it said, but it worked. >> hey, got some action. do they actually have the postman as a thing on moonpig? no, but they should, shouldn't they? yeah. to care about relationships. i think we've invented something here. it's amazing. but sadly the show is nearly over. so let's take another quick look at tuesday's front pages. the daily telegraph tech tycoon feared deadin telegraph tech tycoon feared dead in family superyacht tragedy . the daily dead in family superyacht tragedy. the daily mail queen said trump was very rude. the times millionaires in yacht

hours or so, it's going to continue to push east and south eastwards, bringing quite a wet story across many parts of england. and wales for a time. with that rain feeding into the southeast as we go through the early hours of tomorrow morning behind it, there will be some clear skies around, but also some showery bursts, especially across parts of scotland. temperatures not dropping a huge amount. in fact, in the southeast it is going to be another warm night, some places only falling to lows of around 17 or 18 celsius. as we go through tomorrow morning, though, there will be some hefty rain across the far east of scotland and the northern isles also plenty of showers feeding into western parts of scotland into western parts of scotland in between. something a little bit drier and brighter for some, but also more showers across northern ireland. some parts of northern northwestern england and in fact down the western side of england and wales. there will be some showers feeding in something a little bit drier and sunnier for more central eastern parts of england , although in parts of england, although in the far southeast that front will be lingering here for a time. so a grey, damp start to the day for some before that front clears away. by the

afternoon behind it. for many, it is going to be a showery day and some of those showers will be heavy and there are some gusty, blustery winds to watch out for too, especially in the northwest, making it feel a little bit cooler for some. but there will also be some sunny spells. and in the east southeast in the sunshine, feeling quite warm with temperatures in the low to mid 20s. wednesday gets off to a fine start for many of us, but some very wet and windy weather is going to feed in from the northwest as we go through the day , particularly affecting day, particularly affecting scotland and perhaps northern ireland too. now the rain is going to be quite heavy and will last as we go into thursday, and it's all due to the remnants of what was hurricane ernesto, the other side of the atlantic . i'll other side of the atlantic. i'll see you again soon. bye bye. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar, sponsors of weather on
