friendly environmentally friendly driving, but he claims elon musk sent him a tesla. kadyrov is a close ally of putin and has mounted the cybertruck with a machine gun and says he'll send it to the front line. elon has denied any involvement, and i believe him. is this woman? is this person a woman? a court has ruled that the female only app google for girls discriminated against this fine looking lady by denying access. roxanne tickle, which is the woman on screen in front of you, was born male, but now identifies as a woman, even if her hairline doesn't. i just wish roxanne tickle had picked the name tess instead. this is your saturday night showdown . night showdown. discussing all these topics and

gbnews.com forward slash alerts. >> thank you, tatiana, and welcome to the saturday night showdown. a shocking video went viral this week showing a man hitting a nando's waitress in the face with a plate in front of his wife and child. take a look at this . apparently this look at this. apparently this happened back in march. i mean, you'd think the police would be right on it. you can see there the man's hit the waitress in the man's hit the waitress in the face and now he's leaving with his wife and child. the wife seems to go to protect the child. it makes you wonder what goes on behind closed doors. but the police don't seem to have done anything strange. after all, they can arrest and sentence someone in 24 hours for shouting in a riot or sharing a facebook post. but the victim, the nando's waitress, posted on x the police were present at the time i reported it to them and they let him go without taking his details or checking the cctv. i filed a complaint against the officers and their supervisor got back to me and essentially said they're humans and made a mistake. so even

though the police were present, they didn't catch the man, even though it would have been easy to follow up on it because they had his details, they interviewed him right there and also , even if they didn't, you also, even if they didn't, you could get the details from the card payment system because you pay up card payment system because you pay up front in nando's. yes, i do eat there. will yvette cooper do eat there. will yvette cooper do anything about this? she's pledged to treat extreme misogyny the same as terrorism, although she might be afraid of using that term around this man for fear of being called islamophobic. i'm joined now by andrew eborn and precious muir. now precious, i know a nando's in east london isn't the finest establishment, but this still seems an absolutely horrific attack. i can't believe it hasn't been. this poor woman has not seen justice. >> honestly, i've seen. i saw the video on twitter and my mouth was open because i was like, because you're like nando's. i like a cheeky nando's, but you don't expect to get slapped in the face when you go. i mean, especially with a plate. >> can somebody tell me why he was, why he did that? >> like, i actually don't understand what happened there. >> i mean, i suppose what was the reason behind him hitting

this woman? maybe he was brought lemon and herb when he asked for extra spicy. but i'm not. >> i'm not sure that is not the answer on how you get your order correct. i mean, slapping that woman directly in the face with a plate could have actually scarred for her life. yeah, she could have been blinded by that plate. absolutely >> she could have been seriously, seriously, seriously injured. >> and i don't understand as to why they weren't arrested. >> yeah. i mean, i do know that, you know, in cultures around the world. not that i'm, you know, speculating or hypothesising that this is the case, but in cultures around the world, women don't have the same rights as men, and they're more in the uk and that's not how you act in nando's or any restaurant. >> if you want something to be changed, if you didn't get the right order, then just ask politely for it to be changed. you don't slap the waitress. >> definitely not. >> definitely not. >> i don't understand, andrew. >> i don't understand, andrew. >> do you think the police have got their priorities right? because i've just seen, you know , because i've just seen, you know, day after day, week after week, over the past couple of weeks, they've been absolutely hammering anybody who's anywhere near or, you know, tweeted anything that could be perceived as inflammatory riots. >> it's very clear truss comes

in on foot and leaves on horseback and trust in the police is at an all time low because of incidents like this. you have the appalling thing. this has only come to light. it was in march. we're now in, you know, we're virtually in september. absolute nonsense . as september. absolute nonsense. as always. people rush in to judge things. we had about manchester airport and videos got drip fed. but i can see no context where this would ever be justified. and the point about justice is it's supposed to be blind . it it's supposed to be blind. it doesn't matter what colour, what creed, what religion and so on and so forth. the way that you get trust back is to make sure it's enforced universally, and they need to act quickly and they need to act quickly and they need to act quickly and they need to act now. they're still appealing. looking at the latest report, i checked just before we came on air, they're still reporting people to advise about this person. reason? >> no reason at all. no reason that can justify his actions ever doing that. he assaulted a complete stranger. yeah, right. so if he had put his hands on his wife, what would have been the reaction from the police? we need to understand what's going on here. yeah, absolutely. i mean, if he'd have just turned around and slapped his wife in nando's, would they have arrested him ? we don't know. we

arrested him? we don't know. we don't understand. >> police. police now need to listen to this program because everyone's been calling them out on this. and i've been on a number of shows talking about this incident. they still haven't come forward and said, this is what we're doing. so they want to get justice seen to be done. they need to do something now, maybe before the end of the program, we can have an update from the police. there's the action. >> call. >> call. >> that would be nice to hear. and what is happening with our police? we're seeing people unked police? we're seeing people linked to the riots arrested and given lengthy sentences for shouting or for sharing social media posts. obviously, physical violence is deplorable , as is violence is deplorable, as is inciting violence, but some of these headlines that i've seen over the past week are verging on the ridiculous rioter who shouted in a police dog's face jailed for 20 months. i mean, blimey, you can get jail time for telling a police dog to get off the couch now. man, 81, charged after city centre protest. i mean, british people have asked the government, can you do something to stop little kids being stabbed? and the government has said, the best thing i can do is lock up your

grandad. a teenager who waved an england flag near north yorkshire islamic centre jailed. i mean, it seems like the only flag you're not allowed to wave in england is the england flag loyalist, destitute, arrested on return from spanish family houday return from spanish family holiday over , over. stop. spread holiday over, over. stop. spread of evil islam post. i've seen that same sentiment expressed by feminist protesters in iran, where the islamic theocracy punishes them and forces them to cover up, and when they don't, they get attacked by the police and put in jail. and when people say the same thing in iran, they get punished in a similar way with jail time. the police also seem to be revelling in the pubuc seem to be revelling in the public humiliation of people suspected of taking part in the riots. this footage right now is from merseyside police, who filmed the arrest of thomas whitehead as he stepped off the plane after his holiday for his involvement in the disorder in southport. we can't afford extra police officers to investigate burglaries or women getting hit

in the face in nando's, apparently, but we can't afford film crews. the police shared this man's street address, which seems unnecessary and almost dangerous in such a febrile atmosphere with inflammatory hoaxes being spread, sometimes even by labour mps telling muslims that they are under attack from violent far right thugs with the husband in jail, who's there to protect his wife and children from any retribution. i mean, i believe that violence should be treated harshly, but waving a flag, shouting at a dog, an 81 year old. this seems heavy handed . old. this seems heavy handed. andrew gwynne i'm concerned that due process doesn't always mean you're absolutely right. >> and go back to what i said beforehand. trust comes in on foot and leaves on horseback. we need to look at this also. the media has a responsibility because some of the headlines don't tell the full story. so the thing about shouting at a police dog, i looked at this case and actually it wasn't just shouting a police dog. there was incitement and there were basically abuse of other people at the scene and so on and so forth. it's rather like saying the person was wearing trainers. we arrested them. they got they got 20 months for that. it

wasn't. it was shouting the police dog. they were also intimidating, incitement and so on and so forth. but they need to unpack that. >> the shouting at a police dog, you know, brought up in court, if that's because, is cited as a reason, you're absolutely right. >> but it's the media focused on that. and this is my point on the report, is that the media, in the media, we have a responsibility not to inflame the situation. there were all sorts of incidents which came up in the court turning around and saying, this is what this particular person was accused of. they should have said it was about this sort of stuff, intimidation of individuals, the fact that they cited the police, the police dog and that sort of thing. >> intimidation. i don't i don't always trust that that phrase. i mean, i've seen some of the phrases they've said. they've said, they said somebody at sellafield worker was was sharing racially inciteful or inflammatory posts and they just seemed they seemed pretty tame to me. >> i mean, to be honest, i understand that the police have to get things under control, but there is no there's no space in there is no there's no space in the jails at the moment. there's no prison space. so what are you going to do, start letting out paedophiles and murderers? that's exactly what they're doing to make space for these people. i mean, at the end of

the day, we don't have the space in prison, so we need to kind of realise that certain sentences don't make sense because we have nowhere to put them. yeah, well, they have this strange thing. >> now they're saying one in, one out. and exactly as you said, they're turning around and saying, well, as soon as somebody is there, we're going to put all these people in. >> two crimes don't match. >> two crimes don't match. >> no, you're absolutely right. >> no, you're absolutely right. >> make sense? you can't justify that as well because it doesn't make sense if somebody has committed a serious crime. yes. and obviously they want to get control of the riots. those are two very different things. >> and it's one of the reasons they started televising the sentencing of criminals. so people understand the justice system . and as i say, it's system. and as i say, it's a normal tariff. there's a sentencing council. we want to prevent people from rioting and causing mayhem and chaos. >> but we can't give the same sentence or even more for somebody who stabbed a child. >> you're absolutely right to me. >> just doesn't make logical sense. >> that's why they're televising it, because they turn the sentencing council, make it a science to say these are the penalties you get. if it's aggravating, you get more. if it says mitigation, you get less, have committed serious murders and crimes and are still waiting to be sentenced. >> and those people are going

far up the list just because they caused obviously mayhem and chaos. but at the end of the day, we've got to see where where priorities lie. >> the priority must be in communication because if you tell people about it, it makes it much easier. >> and for the police to be filming it and posting it on social media, almost, it's got the feel of a communist show trial. it's crazy humiliation as well. >> and they've gone to the other extreme. so what's happened now? they get criticised for this. so we're going to act really quickly on this and actually all that does is accentuate what you didn't do anything here and you're continuing not to do things on this. you need to apply universality on that sort of principle. justice is blind. it doesn't matter. that's what's supposed to happen. accordingly be very logical and communicate what you're doing. yeah >> and sky journalist martin brunt revealed how the people arrested and thrown in jail could have a target on their backs as well. take a look at this and people are being told that if they do appear, whether they're pleading guilty or not guilty, they're very unlikely to get bail. >> and if they do end up in prison, somebody who told me,

somebody who knows about these things, told me that you know, any right wing, far right protester landing up in jail, well, they can expect a pretty cold reception from what he says. are asian gangs inside prison? who will be looking out for them ? for them? >> that's chilling stuff. now i've been reliably informed that there is no two tier policing. so when are nick lowles of hope not hate and another mp who shared his post going to be arrested for sharing this inflammatory, dangerous hoax that far right thugs were throwing acid at muslim women. this was also shared by labour mp josh fenton . glenn. the mp josh fenton. glenn. the police had to step in to deny that this had happened. but astonishingly, nick lowles didn't delete this inflammatory claim. now is it unfair that people in the far left, such as nick lowles , aren't being prosecuted? >> well, i think we have to be mindful. i always say this. i think when you have a very large

following online, you have to be very mindful of what you put out there. you can't just start putting stuff that you think may have happened . you have to have have happened. you have to have real evidence behind it. and that's a serious thing to say. i don't know if there's enough space in prison, as i said, for him to be sentenced, but he should definitely have some repercussions for what he's done. >> i'd be happy to let pretty much anyone out, without a doubt. yeah and also the thing with nick, because he's a government adviser, he's part of this charity, hope not hate, who pretend to be, you know, anti—fascist and pretend to be in reality. there it is. reform candidate . candidate. >> you're absolutely right. >> you're absolutely right. >> but because you know, they've got the year of the government, they're seen as more credible than, you know, some nutter. >> it is absolutely scandalous in the same way as you talk about an abuse of a position. and you must remember that the murder of the three girls and the riots that happened as a result of it was spread as a result of it was spread as a result of it was spread as a result of misinformation. so when there's misinformation that causes these riots, already a tinderbox spread by just the information, just the fact that

these girls had been killed and other girls had been targeted. >> i think that and consistently have been so after this. absolutely. women and children are getting stabbed pretty much every day. and we just saw yesterday at the diversity festival in germany, another spate of stabbing. >> and it is awful. and it's inflammatory. so what's happening. so i would say the responsibility in the media as well, across the board is to try and shine more light and less heat on this because it is appalling what's going on. it's appalling what's going on. it's a tinderbox at the moment and lots of divisions are spilling out accordingly. >> but we also need to make sure that the public do have awareness. and yes, we need to have knowledge, but correct information and get rid of the fear. >> get rid of the fear on the streets, people are scared. >> i think people need to be fearful until the government deals with the press. >> and as a woman, i am extremely uncomfortable at certain certain parts of you know, london. >> and when i go out and i have to be very mindful of where i go. absolutely. because people target young women like me, children, we're just getting stabbed. every single part of the uk at the moment. it is

appalling, devastating. >> and you're so right. precious. what people need to do is the police need to act very, very quickly. they need to deal with the real troublemakers because as you were a really wonderful society. let's get back to the united kingdom. the united kingdom has never been more divided. >> well, that's the serious part of the show. out of the way. thank you. >> that was the comedy . the winners and in this week's cursed or blessed. >> see you in

welcome back to the saturday night showdown. it's now time to go through the winners and losers of the week. what is a woman? the debate rages on this week. a court in australia decided that this person is 100% a woman. this is roxanne tickle, a woman. this is roxanne tickle, a transgender woman, believe it or not, who sued the social media platform giggle for girls, which is aimed at women , which is aimed at women, claiming that she was unlawfully barred from using the app in 2021 after the firm and its ceo

sal grover, said she was a man. does this look like a man to you? no. roxanne tickle is the most womanly woman who ever woman, stunning and brave in every way, from the male pattern baldness to the stubble. now crocodile dundee had a much simpler test to see if someone's a woman or not. but this test test case or test tickle case rested on the sex discrimination act and has far reaching ramifications around the world. for female only spaces being allowed. being forced to allow access to women like me. interestingly, barrister zelie hagar told the court that sex was no longer defined in the sex discrimination act, but that it importantly the act recognises that a person's sex is not limited to their actual biological sex, so gender identity rather than biological reality is defining what a woman is. in australia now. precious. i kind of feel like women had, you know, a few years of equality, and now the men have just come in and literally we

are losing it. >> second, by second, i mean, this is ridiculous. i have to laugh because otherwise i would just cry. it is becoming really just cry. it is becoming really just outrageous . i just cry. it is becoming really just outrageous. i mean, out of control behaviour really, honestly . it's a female app. honestly. it's a female app. women should have a choice. we should have a choice. if you're a female and you're looking for other females who were born female, there should be a safe space for them to go. that is plain and simple. i don't understand why, you know, if they were going on to a gay app called like grindr or something, there is no, transgender males on there because at the end of the day, gay men are looking for gay men. they're not looking for somebody who's transitioned into a man. so there should be safe spaces for women just like this , spaces for women just like this, safe spaces for men. >> and i feel like this is actually going to hurt genuine trans people who don't want to, you know, take part in some, you know, female only space. and this is this is going to bring heat on them. and they could be they could have put effort into their transition. they pass. >> and i don't know any lesbian

that actually wants to. personally i have i'm bisexual so i'm very open about that. but i don't define myself by my sexuality. and i'm in a relationship with a male. but at the end of the day, everyone should be able to choose, and i don't know many lesbians that want to date somebody who used to be a man. i don't know any lesbian that wants to date that. >> it's extraordinary, this situation. i've done a deep dive into this website. it's now closed down. i don't know, not not for that. but in terms of the in terms of the people behind it and things like that, they had an ai system which you had to put up a selfie and they would work out if you're female based on your photo, right. so what happened to this particular tickle without the tackle? i'm not sure . but what happened to not sure. but what happened to behave? what happened with this particular case? they said because she did not look sufficiently female, which is why it didn't go through. but it raises a really important point. >> that's really bad, because then if that person had transitioned into to a a photograph that was passable , photograph that was passable, then, and that's the problem. >> that's the problem. >> that's the problem. >> individuals to choose, because then that is not

allowing them. >> and so and so what happened? there was a big backlash on mumsnet and things like that. they were saying that the particular founder was a.w. that trans women are women. so that's what they were saying. they understand they were pro that what happened though this particular site is for people and girls to discuss in safety things like period pains and pcos, polycystic ovarian syndrome and things like that. and they need to make sure it's safe . and i think it's safe. and i think it's absolutely trans rights. and respect all of those. but these are supposed to be safe places for women and sort that out. >> a lot of transgender women also, that i know in the entertainment industry. yes. and they wouldn't even bother going on an app like this because they don't want to invade someone's space. yeah, they're going to get the back for themselves. >> yes. and they're going to get the backlash. they're going to they're going to get, you know, any sort of negative feeling that's drummed up. >> they're not interested whatsoever. most transgender women i know date men. yes >> and we all it's an industry which is full of trans people. but more than ever. and that's fantastic. it's about respect but it's respect for everybody. respect for everybody in the

conversation. and when a site is for people who are born, women who have periods and have various things which because you have ovaries and wombs and things like that, it has to be a safe space. so whilst we absolutely respect people and trans rights, the person who wants to go there who's trans is so wrong on this and they shouldn't be doing it well, i think that their intentions are not what is supposed to be because, you know, we've had this issue before where there's a transgender female going into a transgender female going into a gym and we all know that person is not there for the right reasons. >> and if women feel threatened, you're right. >> it's such an important point . >> it's such an important point. women feel threatened as a result of this. and why would they do it? >> and we've seen it in the olympics as well. so, you know, there's a transgender weightlifter, laurel hubbard, and you know, going through male puberty, you know, gives you certain vantages. you get stronger bone structure, stronger bone structure, stronger muscles, it's easier to parallel . parallel. >> the component is at a disadvantage. >> so, you know , thanks anyway. >> so, you know, thanks anyway. we've got the democratic national convention has just rolled to a close confirming vice president kamala harris and her running mate tim walz as the

official democratic candidate for election . the republican for election. the republican convention saw muscular speeches from men like hulk hogan. nobody's got more testosterone than him, although it might come in a little glass vial from a dodgy doctor. left wing men are mocked for being low testosterone soy boys, but the left seem to see that as a bonus. as cnn anchor dana bash reveals. >> but they are doing so in trying to put forward male figures. tim walz being one of them, doug emhoff last night, who can speak to men out there who can speak to men out there who might not be the sort of testosterone laden, you know , testosterone laden, you know, gun toting kind of guy who wants to listen to hulk hogan and the kind of, players that came out at the rnc or might want to listen to that. but also, in addition, understand that it's okay in 2024 to be a man comfortable in his own skin, who

supports a woman . supports a woman. >> it's okay to be a man comfortable in his own skin. being a low testosterone soy boy. and ironically, given that kamala harris has condemned trump's border wall and kept the american border open and let in millions of people without id, anti—israel protests around the democrat convention meant they erected a very secure border. and you needed id to get through it. as the washington post put it, fences, police and ids for the dnc , but not for the press. the dnc, but not for the press. just you like your men to have low testosterone . low testosterone. >> what a great question. i love it soy boy. >> we all know i don't. i always date a big, you know, sturdy a handsome man. no. well, hulk hoganis handsome man. no. well, hulk hogan is obviously not the kind of person i would date, his opinions. >> he loves you, though, precious. it's got to be good. >> doesn't sit well with me. >> doesn't sit well with me. >> the things that come out of his mouth. >> but no, honestly, guys, i mean, being being a woman, a

woman of colour. i know what this must feel like for kamala harris, right? she is definitely trying to make a point that anybody that has the right frame of mind , who knows the policies of mind, who knows the policies that she's having, they should vote for her. it doesn't matter if you're a male or female or other at the moment. it's about the policies. and i think that we are losing sight of what that is. >> is it about the policy? it is because i think, you know. well, andrew, i'll tell you, because in 2013, every senate democrat voted for a bill that required the construction of 700 miles of a wall. >> very interesting that suddenly became a trump thing. everybody was a kamala. that's how you pronounce her name, because she spent in 2016, she spent a fortune, including getting little kids to say, this is how you pronounce my name. nobodyin is how you pronounce my name. nobody in television gets it right. it's kamala, comma la is how you pronounce it communist. as in as in commie. absolutely. you're absolutely right. but you're right. it should be about policy, not about people. it would be wonderful to break the glass ceiling and have the first woman president, the first woman of colour, first indian, all that sort of stuff is what she

claims. it shouldn't be about that. it should be about the policies and getting the right things for the people. we should in some ways, justice should be blind. it should be blind in politics as well. >> okay. well, the democrat convention at a bus parked outside giving abortions and vasectomies, apparently the vasectomy slots filled up quick. i'm just amazed anybody had any testicles to step there. it is. there's the bus there. you can get more. you can get more of a classic sort of left wing thing than an abortion bus right outside your snip snip. >> bob's your auntie. i mean, you you're. is that what they're peddung?is you you're. is that what they're peddling? is going to be good. >> they're going to have an amazing olympics team, anyway, there is some good news for fans of free speech and free thought. this week, a christian charity volunteer was awarded £13,000 compensation and an apology from police after being arrested for praying silently outside an abortion clinic. that's right, silently praying she was arrested for thinking the wrong thoughts in her own mind. here's some footage of her arrest .

some footage of her arrest. >> this is you standing here. part of the protest. no are you are you praying i might be praying in my head , so i'll ask praying in my head, so i'll ask you once more. will you voluntarily come with us now to the police station to ask you some questions about today and other days where there are allegations that you've broken pubuc allegations that you've broken public spaces, particularly if i've got a choice, then no. okay well, then you're under arrest on suspicion of failing to comply . comply. >> i suppose she could have avoided arrest by lying to the police that she was just thinking about what she was going to have for dinner. but i guess a good christian doesn't want to lie to the police like that. despite west midlands police giving her thousands of pounds to settle her claim for two wrongful arrests and false imprisonment, and for a breach of her human rights, the government is still considering banning silent prayer outside abortion clinics. now, i believe that women should have access to abortion, but i also think that people should be allowed to think what they want in their own heads. call me controversial, precious. i heard

you saying that you found her annoying . annoying. >> no, honestly, i thought that was the really annoying thing to do. >> how dare she stands out to people for being annoying? no seriously. >> that's intimidation. she is trying to intimidate the seine. no, she's trying to stop people. do you know, as a woman what it must take for the individual to walk into a place like that? >> are you saying i'm not woman? >> look, leo, listen, honestly, you don't know what it takes for a woman to go into a place like that. and to have that woman standing outside with all her judgement and all her. you know, this is bad. and against my religion. >> it's bad. >> it's bad. >> it's bad. >> it's not. no. i'm sorry, a woman has. >> i think women should have access to it, but definitely have a choice. >> but we can't pretend that it's like some wonderful thing and we can't pretend that everybody's. >> no. let me say this. >> no. let me say this. >> i'm not saying for women to use it as a form of contraception, but if they need it, they should be able to go in there without judgement of somebody standing outside trying to intimidate them and just being very annoying. >> and i think that's so precious. makes a brilliant point. and we're conflating two different arguments. you're absolutely right. people should not. they get horrendous

situations where people find themselves in those clinics . themselves in those clinics. what this was was a ban on protests within a certain radius. so it wasn't the headune radius. so it wasn't the headline that everybody wants. oh this is about thought. they thought this is what they said. they asked her, is this a protest? and if it were a protest, she would be in breach of the ban, which is why they went for a protest. she's standing doing nothing when those saying she's got a history of this, apparently i know a history. a history of protest. exactly. >> thinking she was doing it pretty much every day. >> she didn't just stop by and went, yeah, let me just hang out here for a hobby. she did it every single day for however, and that was the reason is quite right. >> that was the reason for banning people from being certain clubs. so that's the perspective. the danger, however, is my mate elon musk, i had him his father was on my show yesterday. fantastic stuff. great great show. he was amazing. have a look available on youtube. watch carefully though, because neuralink is the new thing that elon is doing, which effectively you have to put in your brain where telepathy. so if you start arresting people for the thoughts, i know, i know what

you're thinking now i will shut up. but if you start arresting them, this is such a slippery slope and we have to call it out. >> yeah. and also for a slippery slope, i think we're nearly at the bottom next on the saturday night showdown, it's culture corner. we'll have the best jokes from the edinburgh fringe. oh, the humour at >> what crazy things

welcome back to the saturday night showdown. now the edinburgh fringe is in full swing with comedians moaning about low audience figures. apparently the average is just six and high costs, with flats costing thousands to rent in edinburgh for the festival. and my facebook feed is full of comics complaining about greedy landlords . although it's funny landlords. although it's funny that once the fringe is over, rents go down again. i don't know if this is because the landlords forget how to be greedy. anybody anyway, nobody cares about these moaning artists. let's have a look at some of the best jokes from the edinburgh fringe instead, as voted for by the public. now

we'll start with number one. mark simmons won with i was going to sail around the globe in the world's smallest ship, but i bottled it. >> hey. >> hey. >> mark said he was really chuffed with the win. i needed some good news as i was just fired from my job marking exam papers. i can't understand it. i always gave 110%. oh mark. mark is a is an absolute master of the one liner. i'm glad he's i'm glad he's won. do you like those i know? >> okay, well i didn't get that. >> okay, well i didn't get that. >> this is going to be a tough segment. >> it is a tough segment. >> it is a tough segment. >> let's get back to abortion. what >> you're a you're a comedy maestro. >> i am, i used to i used to be, iused >> i am, i used to i used to be, i used to be the chair of the montreal comedy festival. you know, people used to flock in from around the world. my favourite. however, from 2019, if i can do it, i'm not going to do the other ones. was somebody called olaf falafel who said, i keep randomly shouting out broccoli and cauliflower. i think i must have florets, you know, that was the winner last time. it was good. >> good stuff. all laugh is in this list. >> oh is it? oh, go for it. >> but number two we've got alex snook who had this one. i've

been taking salsa lessons for months, but i just don't feel like i'm progressing. it'sjust one step forward, two steps back. you like that? you laugh. >> that was funny. >> that was funny. >> that was number two. you're gonna like them more as they go down the list. they're supposed to be getting worse. >> that was good. i like that one. well, alex kitson came third with this eat horse at a restaurant once . restaurant once. >> wasn't great. starter was all right. but the main was hey, yeah, that's cheeky. >> a stable. >> a stable. >> there should be a boom tish at the end of each of these. shouldn't they? >> comedy isn't it? it's very. just tongue in cheek. yeah. >> i think there's nothing worse than dissecting comedy and saying , well, we're going to saying, well, we're going to discuss this one liner now. >> it's a really tough gig. i love it within a comedy thing. yeah, that's exactly what we're going to do. >> every single one of these and let me tell you, i was i was the uk pun champion. yes. >> 2015. >> 2015. >> oh well what was your what was your plan? i bet that's better. >> go on. i had, marvin gaye used to keep his sheep in my vineyard. yeah, he'd heard it through the grapevine . through the grapevine. >> come on. every year i'm going to start a campaign every year. >> give it back to leo. it's got

to be good. >> that's good. well, number four on this list from the edinburgh fringe. >> yes. fringe veteran, i like, i like arthur. yeah. this. i sailed through my driving test. that's why i failed it. >> hey, hey, you see, arthur's good. >> oh, some of them were forced laughter i've ever heard. >> yeah. well done, well done. pressure. we won't use that in the in the. >> well, mark simmons mark simmons also he took the number one spot but he was also here at number five. >> yes this one he said i love the olympics. my friend. and i invented a new type of relay baton. well he came up with the idea and i ran with it. >> da da da da da da da. come on. these are good. >> boom! >> boom! >> tish. >> tish. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> this is not my kind of comedy. >> it's not your kind of stuff. what do you like? >> i know it's funny, but it's like they're a little bit cheesy, though. >> no, they're totally cheesy. they're not a little bit cheesy. it is the fromage barbecues. >> i mean, that's the kind of stuff it sounds like it is the sort of stuff, but this is what they are. >> edinburgh is all about drunk people, but if you're at a late night club and that sort of stuff and this is in amongst the

whole context of loads of gangs, they do that very safe. >> it is safe now is very, very too safe. >> well, this those little jokes . >> well, this those little jokes. >> well, this those little jokes. >> yeah. they've been very safe. >> yeah. they've been very safe. >> so they can how how do they judge this. >> i'm trying to remember how people do it. >> there's public vote so that people there's a shortlist presented i think dave the tv channel. >> it was dave beforehand. >> it was dave beforehand. >> yeah. and they they give a shortlist of these jokes that have been and they test people in the street. >> yes. >> yes. >> submitted by the comedians pr yes . so even comedians who don't yes. so even comedians who don't really do these kinds of jokes, we'll write some of these jokes to get in the list and some of these jokes. >> so, so the secret critics. yeah, these are well, no, no, it's the public. >> it's the public. >> it's the public. >> so the secret of doing is what they do when they do these little tests of fizzy drinks. you do one which is really hot and horrible and one which is nice and nice. you say, which one do you prefer? i prefer the ice ones. so what you do get people who can tell the jokes brilliantly to do your poll, and you bribe them to win the top spot? i think that's what happened. >> and also did you know, you know, when they do the pepsi versus. >> yes, i didn't mention the brand. i didn't mention the

brand. i didn't mention the brand called pepsi wins. >> apparently, yes, because it's sweeter. >> yes. so in small quantities it tastes nicer. but then. yes. >> and that's why it's like any pollsters, you ask those questions, the more extreme. >> do you love our prime minister immensely, or do we love him? just a little bit. but we love him anyway. or, you know, it's that sort of stuff, how you ask the questions. the same. i'm sure it's when you ask the pollsters, do it. if they tell the jokes in a good way, that's going to get the vote. >> i do not love my prime minister in number six, we have olaf falafel are the winner. great guy, i know him. i saw him on the tube not long ago. >> who's pays? well then, doesn't it? yeah, he's an artist. >> a very silly. he's an artist in a very silly manner. and if you're at the fringe, take your kids to his amazing show. yes, well, he had this one. he said my dad used to say to me, pints, gallons, litres, which i think speaks volumes. it's very good. >> it's a brilliant line, isn't it? it's a very good line. the precious thing, i don't know. nothing passes the precious test a pint or two to get through these jokes. >> yeah, definitely. >> yeah, definitely. >> we've got a woman next. >> we've got a woman next. >> oh, come on, let's have a woman. >> chelsea. oh, she's great. >> chelsea. oh, she's great. >> chelsea. oh, she's great. >> chelsea birkby made the list

with this. british etiquette is confusing. why is it highbrow to look at boobs in an art gallery? yes, lowbrow. when i get them out in spoons. >> and that's okay. that's okay for a woman to say, isn't it? >> to say that it's funny for what? >> if a man said it? how would you react? do you think i'm. >> i'm open to stuff like that. okay. i have no judgement on those things. it's how. it's the delivery and the space that we're saying it in. that's how. i mean, i feel like everyone should be. that's what i said before, is that comedy has become very, very safe . and become very, very safe. and there's a lot of things that people want to say, but they just can't say this list is going to be safe because this has to be circulated to all the people. >> it's the people, the public. >> it's the people, the public. >> that's right, that's right. >> that's right, that's right. >> anyway, number eight, zoe coombs marr had this. my partner told me that she'd never seen the film gaslight. i told her that she definitely had. >> i mean, it's a clever gag. i love a clever gag. it's got to be good. >> it's clever, clever is one word for it. number nine is sarah keyworth. with this one, i'm an extremely emotionally needy, non—binary person. my pronouns are they're they're. >> that's funny. that's a good thatis >> that's funny. that's a good that is a good line . see?

that is a good line. see? unanimous. that's our winner. >> the fact that we're having to deal with that in society now it is good. >> hilarious. >> hilarious. >> although i prefer the chocolate one, which is the chocolate one, which is the chocolate gag about pronouns is hershey. i think that's a brilliant one as well. >> that's probably better. you'll probably get top of the list, i thank you. and last on the list at number 10 was sophie duker. with this, keir starmer looks like an ai generated image of a substitute teacher. >> she's right. that's true. >> she's right. that's true. >> is she funny? >> is she funny? >> well it's not. >> well it's not. >> have you laughed? no, no. but at the end of the joke, that was the end of the joke though. yeah, well, that sounds more like a statement than a joke. yeah, yes. like a statement of a joke it was. >> i agree with that. he does. >> i agree with that. he does. >> but masca just one final one. >> but masca just one final one. >> masai graham in 2022 was a good gag. i tried to steal spaghetti from the shop, but the female guard saw me and i couldn't get past her. yeah, see, that was a winner. see, that's a nice. it's a working. and that's the thing. general public. if you appeal to the lowest common denominator, a good word gag is going to win like leo's one, which i think should come back every year. and that should be the challenge. challenge leo, for the title.

well. >> massey. massey is a great guy- >> massey. massey is a great guy. yeah he had some brilliant. i came last on the list one year with this one. he said he wanted to sit in my pumpkin. he butternut squash it, i like that. come on now. >> that's true. that's good. i like butternut squash . like butternut squash. >> sadly, that's all the time we have for this section. >> and oh wait, no, there's more in this section. >> oh sorry sorry i thought oh thank goodness, thank goodness, thank goodness, thank goodness, thank goodness, thank goodness, thank goodness you ad lib. >> thank goodness there's not an autocue or anything. >> britain has had years of austerity. yes. the government has no money so we'll have to hike taxes. but what are our taxes being spent on? this week it was revealed that british foreign aid is paying for chinese opera cycle lanes in mexico and road schemes in malaysia, and many of the places britain is sending overseas aid to are much richer than swathes of britain. i always imagined foreign aid is spent on starving children in some war torn part of africa, not on the salaries of africa, not on the salaries of chinese opera singers. there's a saying that foreign aid is taking poor people, taking taxing poor people in this country to give to rich people in another country. and it looks like it's true . now, is

it looks like it's true. now, is this fair when british people have to wait weeks to see a doctor precious that we are taxing our citizens in britain, our hard working citizens, some of whom aren't that rich, and sending that money to the chinese opera? >> it doesn't make sense to me. i mean, obviously we should be doing some support here for the people that are living on the streets and are homeless, and thatis streets and are homeless, and that is our concern and helping the people that are working hard and paying taxes. i think sending the money to say someone like china, who has such an amazing there is parts of china that are so wealthy. so i'm wondering as to why the parts of china that are wealthy are not supporting the other parts that aren't , instead of us financing aren't, instead of us financing them. well, do you think? why don't they get the us to pay back what they owe and then perhaps try to go and ask for any support? >> i don't think the us always china. oh, it probably does. >> oh my god the us. on let me get the number. >> what are you talking about. >> what are you talking about. >> yeah. they own billions of dollars to china. >> it's very good what it is however , it's robin hood in

however, it's robin hood in reverse, isn't it? and when you hear! reverse, isn't it? and when you hear i always say charity begins at home and we have so many things we need to look at. not in your home, i love it. you're spending your winnings from the edinburgh festival. i love it. no, the reality is this is that also these statistics lies , damn also these statistics lies, damn lies and statistics. they're talking about the average per capha. talking about the average per capita . now obviously they have capita. now obviously they have some countries which have incredibly rich people , but incredibly rich people, but there are still means there are lots of poor people who need that support. and some of those projects are for those poor people. >> but do you think do you think this is soft diplomacy because we're doing this to get influence with china? >> of course we are. i mean, money talks and absolutely there must be only a reason why we're doing them. >> must be an incentive, because there's no way that we should be giving them money when they have the money, they're absolutely. >> well, next on the saturday night showdown, we've got clown world and the proud owner of a new tesla who's fitted a machine

>> anyway, ramzan kadyrov, the

brutal chechen warlord who fought against putin before making peace with him. he's now one of putin's staunchest allies, claimed this week to have been given a cybertruck by elon musk. you can see him driving it here, and he's installed a massive machine gun on the top of it. look at that. there he is looking like something from mad max . now, looking like something from mad max. now, elon has denied giving kadyrov the truck, and it does seem incredibly unlikely that he would do so. and here's footage of kadyrov's son firing two gold plated pkm , pkm machine guns. i plated pkm, pkm machine guns. i mean, hey , if you're a despotic mean, hey, if you're a despotic dictator, why not have gold plated machine guns and fire two at once? >> awful. >> awful. >> no, i wouldn't want to be the camera person taking that footage though in front of him. >> what's that about? so can you just get a quick selfie of me with this? >> worry about health and safety ? >> worry about health and safety? >> worry about health and safety? >> i don't think they do. and it makes all the difference being gold plated, doesn't it? i mean, absolutely, the man with the golden gun . they want this. but golden gun. they want this. but no, elon was quite clear in his response and i love it. i said i

was interviewing his dad the other day. he was always fun, but he has a brilliant sense of humour. but he used a word which would get you into ofcom and not compliance . he used that sort compliance. he used that sort of, the r word, as we call it, and this has been used in all sorts of things going back to big brother and so on. and so forth. but elon was quite clear that he wouldn't have supplied , that he wouldn't have supplied, he wouldn't have given it to him. and why would they need it? >> association with somebody, he wouldn't want the association. and at the end of the day, if you've gotten a cybertruck and it's from elon musk, you would have had a selfie with him. >> i mean, he would have done he would have been there with taking the selfie just like did. >> and he wouldn't refuse because of the golden guns pointing at him. it'd be awful. >> elon has been helping ukraine with his starlink satellite, so why would he do that now? >> the ukraine war has slipped off some people's radar, but it's seeing a lot of change at the moment. >> ukraine has invaded russia's kursk region and seized over 1000km2, and its drone attacks against strategic russian assets such as oil refineries, have been very effective. the war has forced ukraine to become a world leader in drone technology, not just in the air. it's naval drones have destroyed much of

russia's black sea fleet, and they're also deploying ground based drones, such as this robot dog that you can see on screen now, which is straight out of black mirror and extremely terrifying. i don't like the way it can jump. >> precious. no to that. >> precious. no to that. >> so that's an ai robot situation waiting for al. things look like they were going to take over and they are petrifying. >> i went to a conference very recently where i had one of these controls, and they are petrifying. and once you get the control, they look because they don't have proper faces, but they will follow you. black mirror is that episode and it will and it will turn on you. >> we all want the future to come. it'sjust >> we all want the future to come. it's just how it's going to come. we're not too sure because i do want to have yes, i want the hover car. >> the hover boards are brilliant to avoid traffic at all costs. >> if my robot can go up into the air. >> well, when i was a kid, we used to hate the daleks. the daleks were really scary. the great thing is, you could run up stairs because they couldn't. and i think that was the principle. >> brilliant panel tonight, andrew eborn and precious muir. i'll see you again next week. don't forget headliners as well tonight at 11 pm. and you can

come and see me do comedy live in london on friday in hammersmith. >> don't miss that on my twitter. >> so see you then or see you next saturday. goodbye. bye bye . next saturday. goodbye. bye bye. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello there. welcome to your latest gb news weather forecast. showers continue over the next 24 hours. some longer spells of rain pushing in through sunday as well. and it remains quite cool and breezy. low pressure in charge of our weather at the moment, but as we head into monday, a bank holiday for some, we will see a ridge of high pressure extending in turning things a little drier and warmer for the rest of saturday into the early hours of sunday. showers across the north and the west of the uk. some of these heavy, still fairly blustery winds across the north and west. clearer skies across central and eastern areas. quite a fresh night for everyone , with night for everyone, with temperatures in towns and cities dipping into single figures, perhaps 5 or 6 celsius in the

>> it's 9 pm. i'm ben leo. >> tonight i will restore standards in public life with a total crackdown on cronyism. >> he promised to clean up politics. so why is keir starmer's government handing labour donors and activists plum jobs in the so—called neutral civil service and three dead in a mass stabbing at a german festival of diversity? islamic

state has tonight taken responsibility and said the killings were revenge for muslims in palestine. also facing pressure from israel . the facing pressure from israel. the notting hill carnival kicks off tomorrow, but with stabbings almost guaranteed each and every year at a cost of £11 million to the police. is it time we canned the police. is it time we canned the event completely? >> and to say sorry, to my wife, to my, you know, to my family, >> asked the bbc star. jermaine jenas says sorry for texting other women, but the debate is raging. do you actually class that as cheating elsewhere ? that as cheating elsewhere? >> hasta la vista, baby. thank you. >> boris johnson's biographer says he was a worse prime minister than liz truss, who actually, by the way, only lasted 49 days. so who do you reckon has been our worst ever pm and his candidacy has

inspired millions and
