found to slow down. alzheimer's has been given the green light for use in britain, but it may not be rolled out on the nhs because it costs too much money. the charity alzheimer's research uk has urged the health secretary to step in, warning it would only be available to those who could afford to pay for it. privately. the national institute for health and care excellence, which provides national health advice , says the national health advice, says the benefits are too small to justify the costs. were those are the latest gb news headlines for now. i'm cameron walker. now it's for now. i'm cameron walker. now wsfime for now. i'm cameron walker. now it's time for headliners for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code , alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com. >> forward slash alerts . >> forward slash alerts. >> forward slash alerts. >> hello and welcome to headliners, your first look at friday's newspapers with three comedians. joining me tonight are carrie marks and paul cox. hello. how are you both doing?
5:03 am
all right. >> thanks, leo. how are you, mate? >> okay. >> okay. >> thank you. leo >> thank you. leo >> you're okay? >> you're okay? >> yeah, i'm all right. >> yeah, i'm all right. >> are you learning english? >> are you learning english? >> no. >> no. >> i'm pretty good for you. you sound like you're recovering. >> i'm so middling. i'm so, like, not great. not terrible. >> tell us all about it, carrie. now's the time. >> well, i'm sold average at the moment. good for you, mate. medium level. how about you just keep applying the cream, mate? >> thank you. we'll find out more on the ad break, but let's first have a look at the front pages from tomorrow's papers . pages from tomorrow's papers. the daily mail leads with fury as dementia drug denied to patients on the nhs. the telegraph has the same story. alzheimer's drug is blocked for use on nhs. you're going to have to pay £20,000 a year if you want it, the daily express has. why is it only rich people can get alzheimer's? wonder drug and the mirror has bbc axes, match of the day and the one show star over inappropriate behaviour. we're going to be talking about that in a moment. that's the eye has uk trade union chiefs split over how to get the best pay deals out of chancellor. and
5:04 am
finally, the daily star has lily savage chaos alert as storm lillian roars in. but the heat wave is coming and those were your front pages . and let's have your front pages. and let's have a closer look at those pages, starting with friday's mirror. they've got something about jermaine jenas, and i think his allegations might rhyme with his name. >> it might do, yes. name. >> it might do, yes . jermaine >> it might do, yes. jermaine jenas. well he's been fired. he was , he worked for the match of was, he worked for the match of the day and a presenter on the one show. and this has happened just as he was looking like likely to replace gary lineker as well in the as the flagship host that lineker is, and so really bad timing for him. so he's accused of sending inappropriate texts which you think presenters by now would realise not to send inappropriate texts to people. it never works out well, does it? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean, i think i'm against it. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> the bbc. well, i've never received anything from ukraine.
5:05 am
i'm very grateful for that. >> but they've not been going through the bbc. >> they've basically i think they've come out and said it's nothing like huw edwards, presumably because it's a colleague and they don't. >> can you imagine having to say that? >> well, they don't employ eight year olds. no, exactly. >> nothing like there are, thankfully no eight year old producers at the bbc. yeah because they would be fodder, yes . i mean, you've got there's yes. i mean, you've got there's not much we can say because we don't know anything. obviously jermaine jenas has come out today. he was live on talk radio i think talksport when he was sacked by the bbc and, and he said he's speaking to his lawyers and there's two sides of the story. i imagine the reason the story. i imagine the reason the you know, if you think about it, hugh, hugh, i don't know him just calling him by his first name, but let's just go with hugh. he, he, you know , he was hugh. he, he, you know, he was he was employed for a good year on a ridiculous amount of money before he was even sacked, but but i'm assuming that pundits such as jermaine jenas are actually freelance and they're paid, you know, they've got a limited company and they sell it that way. so it's very easy just to part ways. >> yeah. and do you think this
5:06 am
could have been a honey trap set up could have been a honey trap set ”p by could have been a honey trap set up by gary lineker. so you never. >> neven >> yeah. just just so he could perhaps it was gary that he was texting and moving on. >> what's in the front cover of the express? >> paul, why is it only rich can get alzheimer's wonder drug. so this story we covered at the top , this story we covered at the top, there was a wonder drug for dementia patients has been rejected by the nhs, but has been given the green light to be used privately. so there's nothing wrong with it. the nhs have actually deemed it, that it doesn't offer enough benefit to justify the cost. i'm not sure what the metrics of that are. this is very difficult, really, isn't it, because you create this situation where it looks on the surface like poor people don't have access to the best medication, but poor people don't have best access to anything. so, you know, and the nhs can't afford to buy everything . so. so it'd be a bit everything. so. so it'd be a bit unfair just to blame the nhs. unfairjust to blame the nhs. i just wonder if it's about time. and i'm pretty sure the nhs aren't driving towards this , but
5:07 am
aren't driving towards this, but maybe it's about time we offered some sort of nhs plus where you can contribute or you can contribute towards it. >> i think paying £20,000 a year for alzheimer's drugs is nhs plus, and i think a lot of people , carrie, are now moving people, carrie, are now moving away. i think a lot of people can't wait for months and months to be treated, so they are moving into the private private system, which means that when rachel reeves puts tax up yet again, because taxes keep creeping up, up and up, >> people, black hole is that black hole . yeah. black hole. yeah. >> people, people, people aren't going to feel that they're getting anything back. if people are having private education for their kids, private healthcare, what's the why are they being rinsed for so much tax? yeah. >> look, we can't pay out for absolutely everything . and i'm absolutely everything. and i'm not sure i go quiet with that. the poor people can't have anything anyway. so therefore, let's give them nothing. >> but it's also, by the way, just for clarity . that's not just for clarity. that's not that's that's not what i was saying . i'm one of the poor saying. i'm one of the poor people deliberately paraphrasing him , him, >> but but it's also he's one of those twitter accounts. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> it's not cost effective. and it's not it's not a wonder drug
5:08 am
ehhen it's not it's not a wonder drug either. there have been doubts about it. the eu also haven't gone there. there's concerns over side effects such as swelling and potential bleeding in the brain. i don't know how swollen they are. bonus. yeah, i don't well, fiona carragher of the alzheimer's society said the decision could lead to uncertainty and confusion, which is really unfair on people with alzheimer's to have even more uncertainty and confusion anyway. that's a bit like refusing a drug for people with inferiority complex because they don't matter much. so obviously it would be nice to be able to give every drug to everyone, and i think it's a shame we can't. but realistically, it's not the wonder drug and it's got side effects and it's not effective enough for the nhs to pay out at this price at £20,000 a year. >> and of course, there's the there's also the matter that a huge number of people would presumably want this drug. i mean, 900,000 people would be, would be eligible for the drug, could benefit from taking it. and that's rising to 1.7 million people in the future. >> so that's a huge and that's a much bigger question, isn't it? why are so many people getting
5:09 am
alzheimer's and dementia? >> it does seem like i think it's because people are living longer. yeah, it is. >> there's more people, i guess. yeah, we could probably solve it. if you just give us a couple of minutes and we'll be back and we'll solve this issue. but i really don't know. i just think it's i mean, i'm all for bashing things because i love it. that's what i get paid to do. but it's difficult here to bash the nhs because, you know what? they can't just do everything. >> i don't know, i think there's some other stuff i mean the transitions for people. nobody's going to nobody's going to die if they don't get an artificial penis grafted onto their whatever. you know, like i think there's stuff that people want and there's stuff that people need. and i think, you know, plastics. >> are you sure you can't get an artificial penis? >> you can. i'm offering you one right now. >> really ? yeah. >> really? yeah. >> really? yeah. >> moving on now. let's move on. >> moving on now. let's move on. >> that's a really good idea. let's move on. >> moving on to the times kyrie. what have they got in the front? >> top academics attack labour for failing to protect free speech. so this was the plan to tackle cancel culture in universities and looked like it was all going ahead and then bridget phillipson who is the
5:10 am
education secretary, has decided to suspend this legislation because it would have forced universities to defend free speech on campus , which would be speech on campus, which would be terrible . i mean, oh wow, did it terrible. i mean, oh wow, did it really come to that ? really come to that? >> oh, wow. >> oh, wow. >> we nearly had free speech in a place where people should be making arguments and discussing ideas. and of course, the problem with it that she has identified, which, you know, of course, is the big thing of our times is it could create harm. the word that we hear so much, oh my goodness, it's good to keep everybody safe. and keir starmer has already shown that he's very anti free speech and he's very anti free speech and he's jailing people, sending people to jail for years for sharing memes, some of which aren't particularly inflammatory, don't seem to, you know, reach the threshold of incitement to anything . incitement to anything. >> he's also said he's going to introduce new laws to clamp down on islamophobia, so you won't be able to question islam in any way or islamism. and also, he's going to beef up the online safety act so that, you know, you're not you've really got to watch what you enjoy the speech while you can, mate. >> oh my god. >> oh my god. >> i mean, it sounds like you're
5:11 am
saying will be illegal soon. >> that's where it's all heading, though. it feels like all of these are small arguments building towards changing the onune building towards changing the online bill. yeah, the bill for onune online bill. yeah, the bill for online and, you know , when, when online and, you know, when, when the wokeist of flannels that university lecturers are start to complain that free speech is being eroded away. you know, you've reached pretty dodgy territory because these are the people that for years now have either argued against free speech or just happily stood by and watched it be eroded , so and watched it be eroded, so i think we are in a, i think we're in a particularly dodgy situation now under the labour government, free speech seems to be a huge thing and that again, they seem to be guiding it in all sorts of ways. so anyone who says anything over here is far right. if they're if they're worried about immigration in any way now . and the sad thing about way now. and the sad thing about thatis way now. and the sad thing about that is there have been people that is there have been people that have ruined that because there have been genuine sort of far right sort of thugs that have become very violent . and, have become very violent. and, and, but they're just a very small minority behind those people are thousands and thousands of people were like minorities . yes. and we are minorities. yes. and we are supposed to like minorities. i think despite wherever you stand
5:12 am
on any of these issues, free speech is important. >> that's the point. absolutely. it's not a case of whether you agree with it. i'm really saying really, you know, obvious things here, but it shouldn't be. it shouldn't be necessary to point it out. we all know there's a massive benefit to free speech. and without it, we are in some level, if you want to do harm, that's where the real harm is, and we're going to see the damage it does very soon. >> and finally, let's squeeze this one. and this is on the cover of the telegraph. paul something. yeah >> talking about free speech. emboldened taliban, a banned afghan women from looking at men. they don't know. so it also it also forbids, talking too loudly , singing or reading the loudly, singing or reading the quran in public, but men, of course, must not trim their beards. so all perfectly progressive stuff for men or for men and women. >> men and women. >> men and women. >> it's also forbidden for an aduh >> it's also forbidden for an adult woman to look at a strange man, which is kind of going to restrict. you won't be able to work here. yeah. >> how are you going to know a strange man or a man who's stranger? >> well, how are you going to know if he's strange before? until you look at him so you can
5:13 am
tell know him whilst looking at the ground, >> so, yeah, the taliban have ordered women not to look at men. i think they've been doing that with me as well. as i'm getting older, i've found, i think the taliban, they're behind it. something to do with that. they've also the taliban have recently fired men from the taliban who can't grow a beard. right. wow. that's that's sinful, they've, women are now covered from head to toe. they're not allowed in education. male doctors can't treat women. there's lots of women who can't get treatment for things like breast cancer and so on. so, yeah, it's exactly what everyone was saying was going to happen to afghanistan. and the taliban said no trust us. yeah it won't. and wonderful culture. >> i look forward to taking a look here. that's the front pages done. in the next section we'll be talking about illegal immigration going up, legal immigration going up, legal immigration going up, legal immigration going down. and what do the unions want from labour in return for
5:14 am
5:15 am
5:16 am
welcome back. kicking off this
5:17 am
section with the telegraph. and britain is granting asylum claims at a record rate. >> kerry, i thought it was for you. i love it. what? why not? i don't mind. i'm sitting here. yeah, okay. so this is the visa numbers for migrants, which are down. >> no, this is this is five story. five story. >> let's do story five, shall we? don't worry. if i look unorganised. it's really not. i've got it. we will come to that story, though, right? because i've introduced it now, and i feel silly to show again. let's go right to the beginning. can we do the adverts? record number of migrants granted asylum figures show 67,978 claims were approved in year to june, more than triple the 21,436in the previous year. so basically we know what's going on, right? countries where people have far more children than we do are alleviating their problem by sending them all here. and we're growing in numbers fast and can't do much about it, but they are apparently being processed more, which sounds good, but it's not
5:18 am
really affecting the fact that the increase does not stop. and, and of course, a lot of this coming from boats that i'm wondering why we can't put signs out at sea that say england that way, but just in the other direction, you know, would that work to come back to britain? >> might work once, you know. >> might work once, you know. >> look, this story is just ongoing forever. most of the, a large number of the people coming to the country apparently are vietnamese, which i didn't know. and that's the part i do approve of because i love their food. you know, as long as they're sending in chefs. and that's just great. >> well, a lot of the places that people are coming from do have delicious food. i mean, syria, libya, eritrea , yemen, syria, libya, eritrea, yemen, delicious countries, but not fantastic, you know, modern western liberal cultures necessarily. so, you know, these are these are some of the cultures that are that are coming here. and obviously in britain, we don't have any system for integration. paul. we just assume that when people set foot on british soil, they magically become imbued with western liberal. >> that seems to be the hope
5:19 am
from some government slash all the governments that have been in power for about 30 or 40 years. i mean, of course, this was inevitable because the complaint this time last year was that there were far too many migrants being housed in, you know, holding holding buildings , know, holding holding buildings, poor conditions. so, you know, the conservatives spent a lot of time in their final months rushing these things through to get those numbers down, to meet the targets they'd set themselves. and that's why this has happened. now, the problem is it's only going to get worse. the reason this is going to encourage people, just as europe is becoming much tougher on illegal immigration, britain is the one place that's going the other way. >> and processing these claims faster is actually, you know, a carrot saying to saying to everybody, don't bother going to sweden or france or anywhere that's getting tougher. >> come straight to britain and the system now has no mechanism to release. so, you know, once i'm not sure what happens to the people, there must be deportations. we don't hear about it enough, but there must be, because people do fail asylum. and i'm not sure what those numbers are. >> i think they just get a bit of paper saying, you should
5:20 am
really probably go home now. yeah, it's all very brilliant. yeah. >> well, some of course we can send them back to their countries, but there's a whole lot that we can't send back to anywhere. there's no deterrent, is there? out. and the new plan is there? out. and the new plan is smashing gangs and so on, which i don't know why we can't get them on tax evasion like al capone. you know, surely that would work. some other method. >> that's a great point. i know , >> that's a great point. i know, i'm moving on. >> we've got the times with a similar story , although slightly similar story, although slightly different story. while more illegal arrivals are allowed to stay, fewer legal migrants are coming. have the government got this the right way round? >> well, it's the flip side of the same coin, actually. so visa numbers for migrants down more than a quarter. so the total number of visas granted to foreign nationals fell by 156,000 between january and june, compared to the same penod june, compared to the same period last year. all sounds very good, but of course the fall was caused by the restrictions being introduced by the previous government earlier this year, including a ban on care workers and students bringing their families across so we could see how a lot of people were gaining legal access to the country. you know , they'd to the country. you know, they'd send son, brother, husband, wife, sister, whatever into the
5:21 am
country to study, and then everyone else would come along, what is very interesting, though , what is very interesting, though, is the numbers and the way, because there were a lot of numbers in this story. carrie and i were talking about this. so asylum seekers, which is now copyright paul cox. i'm going to call them from here on in. asylum seekers. they're up by 68,000. but migrant workers families are down by 56,000. so there is a net, of 88. sorry, 156,000. so there's a net decrease of 88,000. so we are still the best part of £100,000, up £100,000, 100,000 of asylum seekers up. and, that's just going to keep going. i don't know why you insist on the sneakers, aren't you. i've got. yeah, because i think i'm going to start. i think i'm going to start selling to them like refugees or something like that. very good. >> it's not going to catch on, but it's good. >> but genuinely. so what's happening here is legal immigration is coming down slightly, but that's that's
5:22 am
plateaued. now that's what's going to happen if we're offering more asylum, then that's going to go up. and if there's no mechanism to deter them, it's just going to keep going up. so we're not really seeing anything. we're seeing a balancing out of the numbers. >> it's something rishi could have taken credit for, couldn't it? for the fact that the cause this fall has been caused by restrictions introduced by his government. he left before he could take credit for this and for the effect on the economy. so that was just kind of bad timing. ben brindle. he says that the visa numbers dropped in the last few months of the conservative government, and immigration has also been rising. so in theory, this should mean a decline in the net migration over the coming year in theory. ben brindle is a researcher at the oxford. university of oxford's migration observatory. i'm not quite sure what that is. it sounds like some kind of tower with a telescope watching migrants arrive. >> she's pointed at the shore. >> she's pointed at the shore. >> yeah , it's pointed at the >> yeah, it's pointed at the shore. just seeing loads coming in. hey, focusing on that one, we got, i don't know, i'm just saying words now. i'm just going . saying words now. i'm just going. they're coming here. there's lots of them. and really, we
5:23 am
don't know what to do about it. and when we hear about numbers like this, what we're hearing is it's like a drop in inflation. there's still inflation going on. yeah. yeah so it's not like there's deflation or stagnation. i think it's like temporarily good figures. >> so starmer and the labour establishment are very happy that these people are coming establishment are very happy that these people are coming here. not not just because of here. not not just because of their, you know, their core their, you know, their core thing is, is that diversity is a thing is, is that diversity is a strength , but also because strength , but also because strength, but also because they'll tend to vote labour once strength, but also because they'll tend to vote labour once they're once they're settled and they're once they're settled and once they've got their id cards once they've got their id cards and everything. moving on. we've and everything. moving on. we've got the guardian now cherry got the guardian now cherry picking survey results to focus picking survey results to focus on the far right and glossing on the far right and glossing over the extremism that they over the extremism that they encourage. kyrie. encourage. kyrie. >> almost three and four britons >> almost three and four britons worried about far right, after worried about far right, after the riots, according to a the riots, according to a survey. i think this is the survey. i think this is the guardian congratulating itself for spreading fear , you know, guardian congratulating itself for spreading fear , you know, for spreading fear, you know, largely. and but what's for spreading fear, you know, largely. and but what's interesting and they've kind of interesting and they've kind of skirted over this, 73% of people skirted over this, 73% of people said they were concerned about said they were concerned about right wing extremism. but right wing extremism. but further down, we find that 74% further down, we find that 74% are concerned about religious are concerned about religious extremism, which they've . yes. extremism, which they've . yes. extremism, which they've. yes. how much do you reckon that's extremism, which they've. yes. how much do you reckon that's
5:24 am
what it is are very happy what it is ? possibly. yeah. what it is? possibly. yeah. they're a real problem here. and but, you know, there's a lot going on with what happened a few weeks ago. did you hear that? there was a guy arrested in pakistan who worked for a company called channel three now? yeah, who was spreading rumours he was involved in spreading the original rumours of the southport attacker being a migrant. so, and having a name, does he count as a far right or far left? >> and having having a muslim name , ali al—sharqawi or name, ali al—sharqawi or something like that? >> we don't know. >> we don't know. >> i wouldn't like to speculate here, one thing i would like to speculate on is the nonsense of this story . speculate on is the nonsense of this story. it's just simply not true, is it? first of all, they don't say who they asked. where did they? who did they ask? did they go into a mosque and ask them? yeah, well, they aren't going to ask us, are they? well, i think i think polling generally takes into account , generally takes into account, you know, accounts for the it'll be a measurement of the population. >> so they'll wait, they'll make sure they get people of, you know, every gender and all, all the rest of it to reflect the population , population, >> great. but they haven't they haven't said how they framed the question either. yeah. because you can load a question in these
5:25 am
polls. >> oh, yeah. >> oh, yeah. >> are you afraid of the far right? >> yes. and also the fact is, as you mentioned, they whipped up this fear. the guardian. hope not. hate even some labour politicians whipped up fear about 100 far right mobs that are bit like
5:26 am
is starting to look a bit like bribery. kyrie >> my stories are all over the place. >> story line . >> story line. >> story line. >> they've got a little number. >> they've got a little number. >> that's right. we're online aren't we. are we. yes. yes okay. don't worry i'm a professional. i've got this under control. okay. the unions are telling labour to spend 50 billion on a public sector pay restoration . because public pay restoration. because public pay hasn't gone up in in, in line with inflation. and of course, what's happening is the unions were very busy demanding pay rises for their people. and then the government saying there you go the government saying there you 9° ' the government saying there you go , sort it out. and so now go, sort it out. and so now they've got a bit of time on their hand to worry about other stuff. and they want they just want to get absolutely everything they can off this government, which they probably will get. and the labour's position is we submit, as far as i can see, this almost seems like a lot of money. >> this almost seems like labour are buying votes because, you know, they're they're inflating the public sector. they've they've cut the plans to, to get rid of 60 odd thousand civil
5:27 am
servants. and this is you know, they're almost saying to these people, if you it's like peronism in argentina before javier milei got in saying to people, you know, if you vote laboun people, you know, if you vote labour, we'll give you some cushy public sectorjob. and, cushy public sector job. and, you know, if the unions donate money to labour, you know, we're going to make sure we look after you. >> of course, let's not forget £50 billion of public tax money goes to that is proposed in this. and eventually i fear that labour will break every manifesto promise . and unless manifesto promise. and unless you're an asylum seeker or asylum seeker or a public sector worker, you're unlikely to benefit from this. you know, i'm not being cynical. that's exactly what's going to happen. and anyone in between is just going to have to pay for it. and i don't think in the end that the people that voted labour now, there are a lot, by the way, it was just by default . way, it was just by default. it's ultimately it was just by default. the people have just had enough of the conservatives, we've had enough of the conservatives and we lean towards them. >> but i miss them now. >> but i miss them now. >> yeah , yeah, they seem very >> yeah, yeah, they seem very
5:28 am
moderate by comparison. yeah. rishi sunak seems like a sort of lefty moderate. >> the tories felt like a labour party from, you know, 20 years ago. and now we've got some mad, you know, north korean this foaming mouth. >> but at the same time socialists we can't afford alzheimer medicine for people who are ill. and we've got the winter fuel payments being stopped for millions of pensioners and intended hikes of social rents and so on, that the rachel reeves is talking about. meanwhile, people who work for these unions are going to do pretty well out of it. so yeah, it doesn't seem very balanced, does it? >> it's quite right. kyrie. well that's the end of part two coming up. we've got the shocking moment a man hits a waitress in the face in nando's. universities forced stop being racist. and teachers want to transition. children
5:29 am

to happen in nando's in london. but a man hit a waitress in the face with a plate. paul. >> yeah , quite the story. this >> yeah, quite the story. this nando's customer whacks a waitress across the face with a plate in shocking footage. so security footage understood to have come from nando's in stratford and london, appears to show a bloke this is in the star footage here on screen. yeah, please. what? ooh >> that's nasty. so he's literally just picked the plate up. he's with a he's with his wife. i assume it's his wife. and the child, so he's done that and she simply places the food down. >> we've got no context there. yeah, we can see there. perhaps not native to the country, and this story doesn't really highlight that within the daily star, but it does absolutely everywhere else, quite interestingly, the woman doesn't look very happy with it, which is great. this is, by the way, the wife. obviously, the waitress isn't very happy with it, and she seems to immediately go to protect the child as well. whenever i see something like this, irrespective of where this person has come from or how they've got to this point . when
5:33 am
they've got to this point. when i see a woman react like that in front of her husband, i wonder what he would do if he. if you behave like that in a restaurant, what are you likely to do behind closed doors? >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, well, yeah, exactly. >> i mean, this is in public, isn't it? i noticed on the daily star they had the video. this is in fact the video up. and immediately underneath the video they've written . never miss any they've written. never miss any of the fun stuff. get the biggest stories and wackiest tales from the daily star. i thought that was kind of bad timing, really. >> but yeah, but also talking of timing , talking of timing. timing, talking of timing. kerry, the police, this happened in march and the police still haven't apprehended the suspect and dealt with the crime, even though there must be an evidence trail because in nando's you pay before you eat. so they've got somebody's card records there. >> the police were in apparently in the restaurant. >> oh my god. >> oh my god. >> i mean, to according her statement, i had a quick look through this, and i think the waitress was saying that the police were there and still didn't do anything about it. so she's made a she's made a complaint to the police about the fact that they were totally ineffective in the situation. >> and that's why it's in the news now. but we've got people we've got people getting sent to
5:34 am
jail for three years for sharing facebook posts, which aren't really particularly offensive. don't don't look like they inched don't don't look like they incited anything. and then this violence male on female violence is just ignored . yeah. is just ignored. yeah. >> compared to that stuff, he should get 50 years. >> he found it looked like he was incredibly comfortable hitting that woman. yeah, i mean, she's clearly a young girl. you can actually look her up and see her version of the story, she is a she is young, i mean, a teenager. and she's been struck by what is a fully grown man there. there's nothing that's acceptable about this. i thought. >> i thought this was all going to be what would stop it or reduce all this violence is the amount of cctv we have everywhere. well it doesn't matter. 500,000 cameras in london, in restaurants, in bars, on streets, plus all the people's cameras, phones. when someone behaves like that, they must know someone's going to see it. yeah. instead it's just increased the amount of viral clips it seems. >> moving on. we've got the guardian now and a university has ended its racist selection process. kerry, >> black student numbers fall by two thirds mit after the end of
5:35 am
affirmative care. so this follows a case in the american high court which, ruled that race conscious university admissions were unconstitutional. you might remember there was a case with eastern asians in america, suing the government because they had to get three times the amount of passes in order or level of pass in order to get into universities. >> so, in fact, this this law that was designed to help minorities was actually discriminating against east asian people because they were they were excelling above, you know, above white people and above other minorities. >> the quota system starts with the ivy league, ivy league colleges in america, along with the, the interview system and the, the interview system and the reason why it was originally started was to keep jews out. right? really? that's where it comes from. and then it caught on as a system, and then it developed. you know, when people say marriage is wrong because of it used to be ownership of women. well, that's where the quota system comes from , right? quota system comes from, right? it started with a very negative purpose. and then the i remember when it became popular and all
5:36 am
the discussion at the time was fair enough that there are communities, ethnicities and so on that, don't feel welcome in universities and so on. so the idea was we'd have quotas for a while and then there'd be more role models and so on, which to some extent has worked. but the idea is it could stop at some point, academic forever. >> it's about academic attainment. more than how they how they feel. sure. >> but i'm saying what the purpose of it was, was to circumnavigate that and say, yes, but you get more people in from different ethnic groups, and then eventually this has an effect, and then you stop doing the quotas, but then it's become pretty much like the quota system is going to go on forever at which point a lot of people are now saying yes, but it's very every time you do something like this, you make it unfair. on other groups, such as asians and so on. >> and yeah, paul, it's, people people were gaming the quota system by saying that they were black or saying they were a pacific islander or another underrepresented group. and i'd be i'd be turning up there putting on a jamaican accent. >> and bob marley on your ghettoblaster swanning right, like like whoever it was, dan
5:37 am
aykroyd in that film, the sort of comedy you're not allowed to laugh at anymore, that's for sure. leo. i mean, it's not oven sure. leo. i mean, it's not over. it's not. i mean, the numbers haven't drastically fallen because they were overinflated in the first place. i mean, if you if you really do look at it, the black community has dropped from a baseline of around 25% to 16%, which is a minus nine percent drop. >> that's the applications rather than the admissions. that's okay. >> fair enough, fair enough, interestingly , interestingly, interestingly, interestingly, though, it says basically the white applicants are exactly the same as they were. and i know they put that in there for balance, but there's no need to because there's been no change to the rules for white people, it's of course it was racist. yeah that's you know, that's the thing we're not supposed to say . thing we're not supposed to say. but when you discriminate against all other colours in favour of one colour or whatever it might be, that is racist. yeah. >> and obviously we're going to have the best outcome as a, as a society if we do things purely on merit, because then you're going to have the absolute very best, regardless of what their gender or ethnicity or whatever
5:38 am
it is. and then, you know, we'll have the, the most, the highest functioning society. we can have the best rocket scientists we won't have. exactly. >> and also, that is the purpose, isn't it ? and also, we purpose, isn't it? and also, we want the best we've got, so we won't have any doubt cast on people who got into the, you know, if you're from a minority, that's that's helped by a quota system, but you didn't actually need the help. >> people are still going to assume that you got in because the quota system. >> well, the whole of the whole of nasa was built on the brains of nasa was built on the brains of a nazi scientist who designed, you know, the v—2. >> so we should get more nazis. >> so we should get more nazis. >> so we need. where are you going with this, paul? >> it's all what it's all about. >> it's all what it's all about. >> meritocracy. it doesn't matter where they come from. no the point is, is over history. there's all this duplication of stuff. it does. it's a nonsense. if basically, if all things were right and it was a meritocracy, yes, we would see lots of asian people being really good at maths. and in jobs that involve being good at maths . great big being good at maths. great big thumbs up. yeah, big thumbs up. lads from council estates are really good at carrying scaffold bars. great. get them in that
5:39 am
job, whatever it might be. have a meritocracy. >> i don't know if they've got a scaffolding course at mit. the telegraph now with an article about teachers and trans ideology that will make you want to homeschool your children. tell us more, paul. >> yeah, trans not trans. yet teachers say trans guidance designed to protect children is divisive. who would have thought it? leo so there's a poll here by teacher tap, that promotes fear from campaigners that teachers could revolt over new guidelines on the basis they are ideologically opposed to them. so this recent poll found that nearly two thirds of teachers who have read the draft guidance think it is more divisive than helpful , especially with, helpful, especially with, especially concerned with social transitioning. and that's where, of course, in this particular instance, children can identify themselves as whatever gender they like and then expect the teacher to call them by that genden teacher to call them by that gender. but the parents are not involved in that discussion whatsoever . and this involved in that discussion whatsoever. and this guidance, has basically is working against
5:40 am
the parents. it's a safeguarding issue, and we, we keep involving we say this all the time, we need to stop involving children in adult issues. we're messing the future up by continually involving them in our neuroses as adults. and this just let them play. >> yeah. and also this has taken off in some schools as a social contagion. you know, as soon as you know, one, you get groups of girls who all decide that they're trans or non—binary or whatever it is. >> they're mad, aren't they? young girls, they're totally crazy, yeah. the rising number of children questioning their genderis of children questioning their gender is what's concerning teachers. but why are they questioning their gender? it's because this is the conversation at the time. because for the entirety of human history, they haven't even thought about it. yeah. it'sjust haven't even thought about it. yeah. it's just suddenly this has become a problem , which has become a problem, which doesn't mean it shouldn't be addressed to some extent address, but it should be addressed. well, this is part of the problem. some of them want to be able to wear dresses and boys wearing dresses and so on to school, which i hated school uniform. anyway. i think let them dress as rabbits if they
5:41 am
want to, but it's still , it's in want to, but it's still, it's in science. we should be teaching science, and we should be teaching facts, and we should be teaching facts, and we should be teaching biology. rather than teaching biology. rather than teaching people that they are whatever they've started believing they are. yeah, absolutely. >> and quickly, let's squeeze this one in. we've got the daily mail now revealing a gender gap in the bank of mum and dad in the family. >> gender gap . sons received >> gender gap. sons received more help from their families than daughters when buying their first home. research reveals, my parents solved this problem by not giving any of us anything . not giving any of us anything. apparently, researchers had not asked additional questions because this result completely surprised them. but, so they've had to come up with speculative ideas as to why this is. and, one i'd add to it is daughters are more likely to get a car. i read that somewhere. i don't know whether it's a fact, but i've decided it is. so i'm announcing it now here on gb news and also gives daughters might marry a guy who has a good job. well, it's also the daughters, parents normally pay
5:42 am
for their daughters weddings, so. and the daughters, are more likely to go to university. growing up, they spend a fortune on hair and makeup and products and so on. so daughters cost more. overall. i'm not saying thatis more. overall. i'm not saying that is the some of the speculation. i'm just adding to it. >> but there was a whole lot and i really did enjoy it. it says that daughters on average get a £51,000, £51.7 thousand towards their first property, where boys get £65,000. however, like you say, daughters are more likely to get an average of 20,000, donated towards their wedding. so. and actually the net six grand up. >> wow. so women girls are doing better. daughters are doing better. daughters are doing better . better. >> and the story is an absolute nonsense. it's a waste of words. and the journalist should hang their head in shame. >> and yet again, men are being left out. well, just the final section to go when we'll be heanng section to go when we'll be hearing about a paranoid russian, some broody men the latest health food suggestion from joe wicks. don't
5:43 am
5:44 am
5:45 am
5:46 am
jeggings. welcome back to the final section of headliners. we've got the daily mail now. and in russia, in russia , and in russia, in russia, russian soldiers have been banned from using dating apps near ukraine, which is a shame as ukrainian women can be quite attractive. >> they certainly can. so paranoid putin bans russians from using dating apps near ukraine border over kyiv. spy fears so an increasingly
5:47 am
paranoid vladimir putin. this is the words of the daily mail, has banned russians living near the ukraine border for using dating apps, and what i'm more surprised about is that soldiers engagedin surprised about is that soldiers engaged in war. yeah, have also got time to find love, leo. well, i think war is nice. it's a nice story in war time. >> there's a lot of sitting around. yeah. so you've got time to swipe. it's like being a comedian. >> you've got time to swipe. i think this is why things going on here is putin is worried about the ukrainian plan to date their way to the kremlin . their way to the kremlin. they're coming through russia. and there's one date at a time as they get closer. i don't know whether this is paranoia or just sensible, really . do you know sensible, really. do you know what i think this is? i think this is what putin would do. you know, he's thinking because, you know, he's thinking because, you know, the russians are so into all this disinformation and getting into social media to control things and so on, they probably have as part of their plan is to use dating apps. and now they're going, they've already done it. that's what we do. are they already doing it?
5:48 am
>> i believe so they use they've sort of propagated games in ukraine that may encourage people to take photographs of, of the real world around them. so then they can identify military targets from the geolocated photographs that they've taken. >> okay. but they're also looking on the dating apps for, for signs like, if someone says, i'm into reading walks in the park and shooting russians . park and shooting russians. yeah, i mean, kind of giveaways, you know what gets me really hot? >> military secrets . >> military secrets. >> military secrets. >> have you got any? >> have you got any? >> we've got the telegraph now. and some men are so desperate to become fathers, they can't even wait to meet a woman first. paul >> yeah, the single men turning to surrogacy to become dads . to surrogacy to become dads. this story focuses on james smith, 74. now he hasn't started his surrogacy plan at 74. but 20 years ago, when his mother died and there was a void left in his life, sad man finding himself a single at 51, he sought out a woman to carry a child conceived through ivf and delivered him a baby biologically his own, and as a result, he now has twin
5:49 am
sons, paul and david. at first it feels weird. it's not unusual. >> have you had a baby? yeah. >> have you had a baby? yeah. >> yeah. no men. i'm being. you know, i'm not sure what i'm being here, but it's iced in some way, but when i first read this, it just felt odd. naturally odd that it's men that are looking to be surrogate fathers. single fathers on their own, a single father. and, yeah , own, a single father. and, yeah, and women do this all the time. of course, we totally accept that it feels very natural because, you know, it is natural for women to have, sorry, cervix owners to have, babies, but this is quite a nice story. this guy wanted to have children. he didn't have someone to have them with. he used the surrogate. it's 20 years later, 24, five years later. it's a success story for him. and they're saying other men are looking to do it, i'm just glad that jimmy savile didn't use this technique. >> yeah. i mean, i guess that could be a worry, but, i mean, get a cat. >> that's what you do. get a cat, get a pet.
5:50 am
>> kids with a cat, get a pet. >> kids with a cat, get a pet. >> what's happening? really these. these are men who want to have children. he says, this james smith says he doesn't know exactly when he realised he wanted to have children. but it happened at the point when his mother passed away two decades ago. so that's when it happened? >> yes, when it happened. >> yes, when it happened. >> when it happened, it was two decades ago. that's when, so official figures say that there's as many as 50 single men have become fathers. that's nothing. this is about 50 men. it's not a growing trend at all. that's out of 32 million men in the country. yeah, and this is 50. yeah. this isn't even a story. >> it's grown from nothing to 50. and if it doubles at that rate every 20 years, who knows where it could go. we've got the independent now with a story that's been on everyone's lips all day. should we be drinking breast milk like joe wicks theory? no >> so, this is joe wicks , the >> so, this is joe wicks, the lovable fitness guru, apparently. and he'll tell you about how to get great hair, how to do starjumps, how to cook nutritious meals, how to improve your sleep . but his new thing is your sleep. but his new thing is to he's recommending drinking his his his wife's breast milk. i don't know whether he's
5:51 am
recommending it. >> he's certainly not recommending that we do it. >> his wife's, it has to be his wife. >> i mean, how much is she producing? >> i don't know, but what have you got there? >> that is not joe wicks, his wife. >> oh, so you say straight out of another minor celebrity. >> i mean, where are we going to get all this milk from? this is not the first time i've heard this. you know, in my mind's eye, there's now battery farms of lactating women. just producing, producing milk for people. whatever gets you to that climax, let's squeeze this one. >> and we've got the times now. and what's racist today? today a teacher calling her kids chattering monkeys is racist. >> paul teacher sacked after calling her diverse class a chattering monkeys. so a church of england primary school teacher was sacked over allegations of racism after referring to a group of pupils as chattering monkeys. and of course , at first you think, oh course, at first you think, oh god, here we go. this is crazy , god, here we go. this is crazy, more wokeness. i'm sure they didn't mean that, but also, this year's sex teacher in chelmsford was also accused of grabbing a pupil by the neck and jokingly threatening to shoot them . threatening to shoot them.
5:52 am
>> she ruined it. >> she ruined it. >> then she ruined it. >> then she ruined it. >> then she ruined it. >> then that would have been a nice story about someone being fired for saying chattering monkeys. >> so it turns out i was desperate. when i read this. i thought, oh come on, this is ridiculous. chattering monkeys is just a term. it's not racist. theni is just a term. it's not racist. then i read the backstory of this person and they are mentally ill. yeah the mentally ill. >> unfortunately, she ruined the story. >> racism is the least of this person's worries. >> mentally ill or just a normal >> mentally ill orjust a normal teacher from the 80s? well, the show is nearly over , so let's show is nearly over, so let's take another quick look at friday's front pages. the daily mail leads with fury as dementia drug is denied to patients on the nhs. the telegraph with the same story alzheimer's drug is blocked for use on the nhs. the daily express asks why is it only rich people can get alzheimer's? wonder drug it costs £20,000 a year. if you're thinking of getting it, you might want to write that down. the mirror has bbc axes , match the mirror has bbc axes, match of the day and the one show star over inappropriate behaviour. that's jermaine jenas or janiece. i'm not really sure the eye has uk trade union chiefs
5:53 am
split over how to get best pay deals out of chancellor. and finally, the daily star has lily savage chaos alert as storm lillian roars in. but the heat wave is coming and those were your front pages, and that's all we have time for. see you again very soon. goodbye >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on gb news. >> good evening. here is your latest met office weather forecast for gb news storm lillian is knocking on the door andifs lillian is knocking on the door and it's going to bring some unseasonably wet and windy to weather many parts, but particularly in the north as we go through the rest of today, overnight into tomorrow, there is a system that's coming in from the west, and it's this thatis from the west, and it's this that is storm lillian already bringing some very wet weather across northern ireland. this evening, and that heavy rain and the strong winds will feed into parts of scotland, england and wales as we go overnight, the highest rainfall totals likely to be across parts of southwest scotland, also some eastern coastal parts where a bit of flooding and some disruption.
5:54 am
quite likely the wind, the rain, the cloud will keep temperatures up, so a relatively warm but very wet and windy start to the day for many of us on friday as we go through friday itself, then yes, it is going to be a wet start across eastern parts of scotland in particular, but towards the west here there will be some hefty showers following in behind the persistent rain showers also for northern ireland. meanwhile, for northern england there will be some heavy rain around, but it's the winds that are causing the greatest concern. we're likely to see gusts of around 65 to 75mph in the most exposed spots, perhaps even a little bit stronger than that, as a small core of very strong winds pushes through dunng strong winds pushes through during tomorrow morning. further south, there will be some rain to start off with, but that should clear away towards the east as we head towards lunchtime. and actually the whole system that is storm lillian clears away towards the nonh lillian clears away towards the north sea. and so for much of england and wales, it's going to be a largely bright, sunny afternoon with temperatures a touch higher than today. further north, temperatures a little bit lower, but there will also be a
5:55 am
scattering of showers and some of these could be quite heavy. looking ahead to the long weekend and watch out for some heavy rain towards the southeast on saturday. elsewhere, quite a few showers to watch out for, but that rain in the southeast does clear away. and then for quite a few places, as sunday is looking a little bit drier, albeit some heavy rain crossing northern parts and then more wet weather could push through in from the west on monday, but it should be a mostly dry start. i'll see you later. bye bye. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on
