gb. news >> good evening. the top stories from the gb newsroom. the prime minister has flown to berlin to agree terms of a new historic uk germany treaty with german chancellor olaf scholz. it's expected the prime minister will tell mr schulz that he's focused on making sure the uk moves past brexit and rebuilds relationships with european partners. the new bilateral treaty is expected to boost business and trade, deepen defence and security cooperation and increase joint action on illegal migration. this morning, the prime minister warned the october budget will be painful, but says the country will have to accept short term pain for long term good. during his speech outside number 10, sir

keir starmer warned things will get worse before they get better and he said next week's return to parliament will not be business as usual. he also addressed the recent riots, saying they showed the cracks in our society after 14 years of populism and failure. the prime minister reiterated economic growth is the government's top priority. the ministry of justice has confirmed that only 100 spaces are left in male prisons in england and wales. it comes as the number of people sent to prison has reached record levels. in july, the government set out legislation to reduce the amount of time inmates must spend in jail before they're automatically released from 50% of their sentence to 40% in a bid to manage overcrowding, a ministry of justice spokesperson says the new government inherited a justice system in crisis and has been forced into taking difficult but necessary action to ensure we can keep locking up dangerous criminals and protect the public and demands being charged with murder. after

officers stopped him at notting hill, carnival, detectives had issued an appeal to locate kamaal williams, who was wanted in connection with the fatal stabbing of a 53 year old man. he'll appear in court tomorrow. that's as three men have been arrested over the stabbing of a 32 year old mother at notting hill carnival, which left her in a critical condition. the woman was attending the family day on sunday with her young child when she was attacked. the metropolitan police says. it appears she became caught up in the middle of an altercation between two groups of men, but it's unclear if they were known to her. in total, 349 arrests were made over the carnival weekend for a range of offences, including violence , sexual including violence, sexual assaults and 60 attacks on police officers . and those are police officers. and those are the latest gb news headlines for now, i'm tatiana sanchez. now it's now, i'm tatiana sanchez. now wsfime now, i'm tatiana sanchez. now it's time for headliners for the very latest gb news direct your smartphone. >> sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to

that. the guardian. time for uk to turn the corner on brexit, says starmer. big serious picture of oasis. the daily mail finally , starmer comes clean. finally, starmer comes clean. he'll soak the middle class. daily telegraph starmer's tax alert for middle england metro stars align. the wait is over. that's oasis. and finally daily star eat invaders would wipe us all out. while those were your front pages . so, kerry, we will front pages. so, kerry, we will open up with the daily mail, which tells us finally starmer comes clean. >> he will soak the middle classes after repeatedly denying tax rises before election. he didn't repeatedly deny them, he just said it 50 times. it's not repeatedly. it's quite, quite a few, though isn't it really. but then of course, it wasn't his fault because he found a black hole, which is of course, the phrase of the age. and we heard his speech today from the rose

garden at number 10, which wasn't very rosy, but certainly full of thorns. and he basically repeated the word pain. pain pain over and over again. so much so that even when he talks about closing loopholes on non—doms, i've started to think he might mean anyone who's not a dominatrix to just increase the whipping we're all about to get. of course, it's been done before we saw, you know, cameron, when he came in, we went into all the austerity and he said he'd found this big hole and so on. but this big hole and so on. but this doesn't feel quite the same. and it also feels like he's he's fairly certain he's going to have ten years in power, i think. and when he's talking about ten years of this pain and then it's going to get better. i wonder how that feels for some of the pensioners who are losing their fuel allowance, many of whom will wonder if they've actually got ten years to wait. >> i mean, it is, it's hard to hear at least two reasons, nick. one, one, there's a sort of suggestion that there's been 14 years of partying and hedonism, and now we're having to pay the bill and clean up, which hasn't been my experience of the last 14 years. and secondly, there is

this kind of implication that, you know, that he's he's inherited like a completely unknowable catastrophe that he couldn't possibly have anticipated. yes. >> this this black hole in the finances that he didn't know about, which gives him carte blanche to do anything he wants. according to people like james o'brien. but yeah, it's incredibly grim. things will only get worse. he's wasting the oasis reunion. the good vibes we could have. it's an open goal that he's missed. you know, if you could go back to britpop and tony blair, but he hasn't got that. it's all grim and it's all so vague. so this idea, it's going to be tough for a while, but what's going to be at the end if you're going to die? it it's hard, but you think, well, there'll be weight loss at the end, but what is at the end? some very vague plan for growth. and i'm not convinced that he has this plan for growth. the other thing was he didn't mention immigration at all. there was a particularly appalling part to me where he talked about how people don't feel safe to walk down the street in this country, but the sense is following that were because of riots, you know, tvs and cars on fire. and there's not space in the prison. it's like, no, it's isn't it? largely because of illegal immigration and other kinds of immigration

and other kinds of immigration and two tier policing and things like that in general, crime rates. so again, he's constantly blaming the basically white british rioters, nothing about immigration and nothing about the costs of immigration either, because that's talk about financial black hole immigration combined with our ridiculous welfare system and social housing. there's some money you could save right there. >> unfortunately, 14 billion going on to end the strikes with the rail and i was going to say he's already i mean before even giving the speech, he's already absolutely shovelling money at unions who now know that they can immediately hold the country to ransom. >> and as you say, i mean, the riots arguably were a gift to him. if this is what he wants to do with them, because he's been presented with a way of talking about immigration or anything else that the broader public feel unhappy about, and just presenting them as he's going to keep this evil off the streets. >> there's all these justifications, because the justifications, because the justification for this is that it's to get britain running again, you know, the trains running again and so on. but of course, the other side is you're giving way to the unions and they'll say, well, this is this works. >> on to the cover of the times. now, nick. >> yeah, they have that german deal to turn the corner on

brexit. as you said, you thought he'd already done it, but no, we're going back. we all know that the blob want to go back into europe, but this is a reset. don't worry, it's just a reset. don't worry, it's just a reset. but it's a treaty he's working on with schultz about trade , defence, illegal trade, defence, illegal migration. and he wants it to be a model for other eu countries. and the question is, is what will they make us do in response, you know, to get access to the single market of brussels going to punish us? germany want this youth mobility thing they want under citizens under 30 to be allowed to live and work in the uk for up to three years. all sounds a bit like free movement, doesn't it? it's an interesting. how would that be? >> i mean, would our kids get the same on the other side of the same on the other side of the channel? that might be quite popular, broadly speaking, with young people, if it's reciprocal. >> i think you're saying our kids obviously don't have any, so i'm not bothered. but, and also andrew neil pointed out a good point as well on twitter that some —16 approval and schultz has bad approval as well. that's just a side point. some might argue starmer's you know, where they get an easy position then. yeah they're both unpopular incumbent yeah both i would quite like to see though.

>> freedom of movement for kids under 30 such as mine. you know who can go. and also freedom of movement for me to go and retire in spain. so you mean for everyone then you know, roughly between 30 and 2 and just leave out the middle just. yeah, people. i don't want people to respect. >> simon, you're the problem because you've got to. when they came up with the idea of vaccine passports, i just said, right, i'm never leaving the country again. and that's what the kind of man you have to be. >> yeah, but it's basically they found a black hole with brexit and they have to fill it up. now part of it seems a bit pragmatic and that maybe brexit was rushed. and there are things we can do to improve it a little bit. but at the same time you know, it doesn't feel like it feels like this is incrementally moving back into where we were before. and, you know, is a kind of friends with benefits that we're looking at here. sure. that's what the plan would work out. >> i know you probably haven't revised this, but airport cannabis smuggling soars as drug is legalised abroad . there does is legalised abroad. there does seem to be a sort of move around around britain generally to ignore cannabis smoking. have you noticed that? >> no i haven't. why? why do you

look at me? what are you trying to say? >> most of the problem as you narrow your eyes. >> cannabis is a special kind of cannabis. they grow in airports. >> well, it's coming in. in suitcases. apparently. i just noficed suitcases. apparently. i just noticed it may just be the hot summer days, but you've just noficed summer days, but you've just noticed that london. lately, i seem to walk through . seem to walk through. >> it's been like the last five years. you can't leave the house without basically getting stoned just from one breath and disgusting smells of crime, doesn't it? >> anyway, one more. we have one more paper, at least. telegraph kerry. okay. >> smells of crime. smells of crime. crime measures back on agenda despite fear, fears for free speech. which, of course, is always this, balancing act of. we already have laws. we have. we have plenty of laws and it's really just a case of instigating them . a typical instigating them. a typical example was a couple of years ago, when a group of men drove through golders green in london with megaphones shouting to harm , with megaphones shouting to harm, seriously harm, physically harm and kill jewish women. and the police know who they are. they haven't arrested them. but

that's within the laws that we already have. we don't need new laws for it. and this is opening the gate for the blasphemy laws, which i think should be a major concern to people. there's a difference between actual crime and a clear threat and speech that causes harm, which is what we seem to be obsessed by now. and you've got to remember back to the blair government. they also did this. they brought out loads of , there was all the loads of, there was all the database, society that they had and loads of laws against free speech and, you know, recently they've mentioned here is, there's a guy who was on police file because he whistled. bob the builder at his neighbour who felt it was racist, which i'm not quite sure how that could be, whether he comes from builder land or something. but i know he perceived racial hatred, so you can just perceive it about. >> i perceived it from both of you as i came onto this show. >> and there's nothing you can do is not out yet, mate. >> but suella braverman got rid of that because she she brought in guidance to get rid of that kind of nonsense. and they've scrapped that because it's labour and it's like, okay, scrap the higher education free speech bill. scrap that, bring in this islamophobia definition,

which is far too robust and ridiculous. and yeah, they claim it's to stop tensions. they think tensions have been ignored between jewish people and muslims because they this guidance is making things slip through the net or something. it sounded tenuous to me. >> it was quite interesting. in at the edinburgh fringe, i noficed at the edinburgh fringe, i noticed that, you know, this time last year i was interviewed by various people as a stand up comedian. did i think it was going to have a chilling effect on comedy? you know, the snp's slightly, weaponized. they've got a really turbulent, posted hate speech thing. and i said, well, i don't we'll see, but i don't. well, anyway, the only case that it came that came close was reginald d hunter was accused of it. you know , by by, accused of it. you know, by by, jewish. couple and on behalf of jewish. couple and on behalf of jewish couple for his jokes against against the you know, jewish action, which was kind of ironic given that everyone was anticipating that it had been brought in to protect muslims . brought in to protect muslims. but i think it's a very obvious. exactly. >> and it backfired in another

sense, in that the police were because of those accusations, they didn't want to make an arrest with anyone. so i think they probably ignored most accusations that came out during the fringe this year. yeah but it does seem to me as well. >> i will say this that part of the thing about brexit was that it was supposed to stop westminster politicians having a kind of, you know, plausible deniability. well, what can we do ? it's eu rule. and now do? it's eu rule. and now they're just endlessly seeking to read legislate when, as you say, the legislation exists , say, the legislation exists, they will find any excuse not not to simply act . yeah. finally not to simply act. yeah. finally we have the daily star. >> yes . this is eat. yeah, eat. >> yes. this is eat. yeah, eat. invaders would wipe us all out. and of course, it's the space boffins. simon. yes, it's always the boffins. but these are indian boffins who have predicted that an extraterrestrial program would most likely destroy earth. so should be a bigger story. really should be a bigger story. really should be a bigger story. really should be on all the papers. because that's big, isn't it? earth being destroyed. i mean, you know, everyone likes oasis , you know, everyone likes oasis, but i'd have. >> urgent but not important or important, but not urgent. >> we need to bring out hate speech laws from aliens. i

perceive this as hate speech against my race. >> the human race? >> the human race? >> yeah. we should have some banners up on the edge of the solar system. >> yes. yesterday was. i was going to kill us all, wasn't it? >> the seine aliens is a hate free zone. anyway, that's the front pages covered. join us after the break the little black cloud called kier. and

hello. welcome back to hello. welcome back to headliners i'm simon evans with headliners i'm simon evans with me still gb news answer to bert me still gb news answer to bert and ernie. it's carrie marks and and ernie. it's carrie marks and nick dixon. nick and the nick dixon. nick and the audience both been doing audience both been doing extraordinary things during the extraordinary things during the break today. i've been fine. break today. i've been fine. mirror nick on the aftermath of mirror nick on the aftermath of the notting hill riots this the notting hill riots this weekend. police say there were weekend. police say there were several outbreaks of dancing and several outbreaks of dancing and joel cauchi mid beds stabbings, joel cauchi mid beds stabbings, extremely joyful and extremely extremely joyful and extremely beautiful day apart from the beautiful day apart from the many, many crimes so notting many, many crimes so notting hill carnival sees five hill carnival sees five

stabbings, 230 arrests and stabbings, 230 arrests and police injuries police injuries amid massive turnout. >> so it's just this absurd thing we have to go through every year, police say. it takes months to plan, and i think their tweets have been like a cry for help, that they don't want to do this anymore because we have three people in life threatening condition from being stabbed. one was a mother who was with her child, but you still have sky news saying what a beautiful atmosphere it was and you have 37 attacks on emergency service workers. imagine attacking an emergency service worker. and to me, it's

that would be £400 know, that's that would be £400 per person. well, i mean , just per person. well, i mean, just people spending money, which i mean, i guess is good right? in west london, if everyone's buying loads of warm cans of red stripe or something. but i don't see where everyone's spending £400 unless it's just feathers. >> yeah, there are so many feathers. you know, one woman had a dress with so many feathers on it. i think just all the homeless people in the country could have slept on it quite comfortably. it's. yeah yesterday the police, of course, were saying that they're tired. i don't think the police have ever said something that made me feel so much for them. more than any statement ever made. we're tired of this. we're tired. look it's, in many ways compared with the riots . this it's, in many ways compared with the riots. this is it's, in many ways compared with the riots . this is a it's, in many ways compared with the riots. this is a worse record of physical damage. but at the same time, i mean, to break it down, to be sorry, i'll just finish. the point is that you can do it that way. on the other hand, you could say it doesn't really compare because more people had at least wholesome fun at this than they did at the riots. but on the other hand, it's a really poor record for what's meant to be a party. >> yeah, and it's not the worst year by any means, but just what i was going to say. if you break

down 230 arrests, a lot of those are for drug possession and stuff that, you know, i mean, these are crimes, but they're not crimes on the same level as the violence. >> there was . well, there was >> there was. well, there was the stabbings. there was an attack with a corrosive substance, eight sexual offences, nine instances of violence with injury to people in life threatening condition right now. >> so it is quite serious. >> so it is quite serious. >> yeah. fair enough. do we know, by the way, and i'm sorry to throw this at you, but do we know how this mother got stabbed? well, i mean, that just sounds insane. well, i heard on sky that it was a fight that was going on, and she was trying to stop it or something. >> that's what they said. i mean, that comes from sky news, so it may well be false. >> your mother. horrific. back to keir now in the sun. kerry, i say, the sun barely visible behind the vast grey cloud of queerness. >> it's a black hole, not a cloud. i won't let mindless thugs run riot. crime has consequences and i'm getting tough vowels . kiss. you know, i tough vowels. kiss. you know, i actually think he's enjoying it. i think he's really enjoying all his tough talk. and it's interesting, he says. i'm getting tough. not we. it doesn't seem to be much about the party. so keir starmer has insisted he won't let mindless

thugs run riot. i don't know whether he's going to let mindful thugs run riot, maybe doing their meditation. >> yes. so mindful about my thuggery, he said this summer's carnage was worse than than 2011. >> those people throwing rocks and torching cars, making threats, etc. etc. etc. they were betting on gaming, gaming that he's saying they were were betting on gaming, gaming that he's saying they were gaming on the fact that the laws gaming on the fact that the laws weren't strong enough, and i weren't strong enough, and i doubt those consequences were doubt those consequences were really in their minds. you know, really in their minds. you know, i think they were in the moment i think they were in the moment feeling angry and doing whatever feeling angry and doing whatever they were doing. and, you know, they were doing. and, you know, he's talking about how he says he's talking about how he says they're mindless. >> i mean, if they're mindless, they're mindless. >> i mean, if they're mindless, they're mindless. so they aren't they're mindless. so they aren't betting on anything. they're betting on anything. they're just mindless. just mindless. >> yes, yes. that's right. >> yes, yes. that's right. >> yes, yes. that's right. >> yes. >> yes. >> your theory of mind it >> yes, yes. that's right. >> yes. >> yes. >> your theory of mind it contradicts contradicts himself very much and blames. blames, contradicts contradicts himself very much and blames. blames, you know, everything. all the you know, everything. all the usual things , but not, not that usual things , but not, not that usual things, but not, not that people are getting more and more usual things, but not, not that people are getting more and more concerned about immigration, concerned about immigration, about illegal immigration, about about illegal immigration, about increased stabbings and increased stabbings and terrorist incidents, about ten terrorist incidents, about ten months of seeing people marching months of seeing people marching in the streets, shouting islamic in the streets, shouting islamic phrases that call for blood and phrases that call for blood and death and carrying flags of, of death and carrying flags of, of different terrorist groups. i'm different terrorist groups. i'm not saying this is any excuse not saying this is any excuse

for violence. it is gaming for violence. it is absolutely not. but there's other reasons why tension is growing in the country, and i think we're ignonng country, and i think we're ignoring it . ignoring it. >> this narrative of starmer's that it was gaming the system is so false. it's so odd. the reality, the reality was people were angry. some kids had been murdered in southport and it was an emotional outburst. and it wasn't entirely logical. perhaps and you shouldn't do violence, but that's what it was. it was the very opposite of scheming and planning. people who do, i believe, act in a way

and planning. people who do, i belie\know: in a way and planning. people who do, i belie\know how way and planning. people who do, i belie\know how much longer don't know how much longer they'll be able to do so. the aggression in manchester airport, which is three weeks now. and these guys have still not been charged and nothing happening with it. and we know who they are. and i mean the opfics who they are. and i mean the optics on that, i hate using optics, but what else can you call it? i mean, it's absurd. >> it's hard not to go with the two tier thing when you have wouldn't be able to govern effectively because they have examples like that. but also two tier thing when you have examples like that. but also he's saying that we've inherited he's saying that we've inherited not just an economic black hole, not just an economic black hole, but a society black hole. and but a society black hole. and that's everything's black holes. that's everything's black holes. it's actually he has sight it's actually he has sight problems and he's going to problems and he's going to discover a little black mark in discover a little black mark in his eye somewhere. his eye somewhere. >> political chaos in france. >> political chaos in france. now, nick must be tuesday. this now, nick must be tuesday. this is in the telegraph. is in the telegraph. >> yeah, that's particularly bad >> yeah, that's particularly bad even by french standards. so even by french standards. so it's emmanuel macron sparks it's emmanuel macron sparks chaos by refusing to appoint pm chaos by refusing to appoint pm from left wing coalition. so we from left wing coalition. so we know that they already tried to know that they already tried to sort of they used shenanigans to sort of they used shenanigans to keep the right out. over 200 keep the right out. over 200 people resign to avoid splitting people resign to avoid splitting the vote and giving national the vote and giving national rally or absolute majority. but rally or absolute majority. but now that leaves them with this now that leaves them with this problem of the left wing problem of the left wing coalition, new popular front and coalition, new popular front and macron's claiming, well, they macron's claiming, well, they wouldn't be able to govern wouldn't be able to govern

effectively because they'd effectively because they'd they'd have a majority of more than 350 mps against it, effectively preventing it from acting. so i'm just going to not form any government. and people are saying this is completely mad. it's unprecedented. it's really behind the mask of the sort of where the liberal democrat people, very much like the democrats in america, they go on about democracy, then they act a completely different way. but you hear a lot about the peaceful transfer of power regarding trump. this doesn't

peaceful transfer of power regarding truthis this doesn't peaceful transfer of power regarding truthis isis doesn't peaceful transfer of power regarding truthis is whatesn't peaceful transfer of power regarding truthis is what a1't the election. this is what a lot, in fact, a lot of commentators said when he called this snap election, which was obviously just a purely political like a, you know, like a machination in itself. >> but it's also when, when the, the left threw together this coalition in a hurry, without any, any kind of plan or consequences to it. and this was bound to happen. there is nothing really i don't see what he can do right now . there's more supremacist as he goes across do channel anyway, more supremacist as he goes across do right nel anyway, more supremacist as he goes across do right nowrnyway, more supremacist as he goes across do right now .|yway, more supremacist as he goes across do right now . there's he can do right now. there's stagnancy. and this, basically he can do right now. there's stagnancy. and this, basically everyone's putting their foot everyone's putting their foot down and it's all very obstinate down and it's all very obstinate andifsl down and it's all very obstinate and it's i don't see how it gets andifsl down and it's all very obstinate and it's i don't see how it gets resolved in a hurry. resolved in a hurry. >> it's funny as well. when i >> it's funny as well. when i was searching for it on twitter was searching for it on twitter to see what was being said about to see what was being said about it on various news sources, and it on various news sources, and a couple of things came up from a couple of things came up from this time last year when he was this time last year when he was having an absolute crisis, having an absolute crisis, because there was rioting on the because there was rioting on the street, and he didn't want to street, and he didn't want to call a state of emergency. i call a state of emergency. i think it's time we actually think it's time we actually acknowledge that france is in a acknowledge that france is in a bit of a mess, you know? and bit of a mess, you know? and it's and yet there is still this it's and yet there is still this perception, isn't there? in the perception, isn't there? in the post—brexit britain, that we are post—brexit britain, that we are the kind of, you know, the black the kind of, you know, the black sheep of the, of the european. sheep of the, of the european. we don't compare ourselves to we don't compare ourselves to him. we should we should be far him. we should we should be far more supremacist as he goes more supremacist as he goes

across the channel anyway, across the channel anyway, the guardian now carry, they have a tiny glimpse of sunshine amidst the smoking ruins of gaza. >> yes. okay so israeli bedouin kidnapped by hamas on 7th october has been reunited with his family. he was found in one of the tunnels. and so, yes, that's a little bit of good news in israel. but at the same time, if you remember, just like a week or two ago, six hostages were recovered who were all dead, and they were found with bullets in them. and this is, this is all going on whilst peace talks look like they're collapsing. hamas offered to release something like 30 to 60% of the hostages. i think it was 60%. it went up to, which is still not to me, much of a peace deal still not to me, much of a peace deal. you know, if i kidnapped your whole family and said, hey, let's make peace and call it oven let's make peace and call it over, i'll give you some of your family back, i mean, very much helpful. i'm still have never quite understood what they actually hoped to achieve by kidnapping these hostages . kidnapping these hostages. >> other than bringing down this, you know, rain of death

and despair. >> well, that's what they hope to achieve. and that was at the same time, of course, as killing hundreds of people of course, of, and firing rockets. and the hezbollah rockets started the next day, on october the eighth, which is which is also very odd because i'm seeing it reported a lot from mainstream media as, hezbollah are attacking israel as retaliation for their attack on gaza. but that's not normal. you know, it's like like with with russia and ukraine. if we were to intervene right now and say,

dent. oh, hello . welcome back to dent. oh, hello. welcome back to headliners. nick. the zuck has been beefing up his visible abs and fight skills. looks like he might be developing a visible backbone too. indeed, it's mark zuckerberg covid censorship was wrong and i wish i'd fought it. >> this is a shocking claims that and this was in a letter to jim jordan, who's the house of representatives. head of the judiciary committee. and in 2021, zuckerberg says senior officials from the biden administration, including the white house, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain covid 19 content, including humour and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn't agree. and he goes on and on on these lines. we didn't agree. and he goes on and on on these lines . and there and on on these lines. and there was even the hunter biden story. they demoted this story while it was reviewed by fact checkers, which he said was a mistake, and

other similar things like this. so in a way shocking that he's not being punished for this. you know , we've got the telegram ceo know, we've got the telegram ceo arrested. we know they're always after musk , but it is after musk, but it is fascinating because it's a move away from the democrats. it's another you have rfk jr endorsing trump, obviously one of the most elite democrat families in american history. you've got tulsi gabbard. similarly endorsing trump. you've got elon musk has gone to trump, silicon valley increasingly going to trump. now you have zuckerberg. and you can tell from this reading into not very deeply into this. you can tell he's annoyed with the democrats the level of corruption. people are just turning against the democrats. >> it's interesting, though, somebody like laid out an almost table of this on twitter today on x, saying that these are some of the people who you would never ten years ago have assumed would be backing trump or the republicans. but on the other hand, a number of commentators who are still never—trumpers, who are still never—trumpers, who are still never—trumpers, who are now backing the democrats, you know, a lot of slightly older and more sort of never—trump conservative jennifer rubin, people like liz cheney. >> it's the far less cool, less high profile people. >> so there's this massive, in fact. have you watched rfk junior's interview with tucker

on, i think i think so. it's on x, obviously. it's like an tulsi gabbard's last night. she's very good.i gabbard's last night. she's very good. i wish they could get some program to d. i know it's a condition. i know i should, but my eye is voiced. it's so difficult to listen to, but that side is very interesting. and he said i think correctly that there is a significant long term realignment going on now. it's becoming different. what it means to be republican , what it means to be republican, what it means to be republican, what it means to be democrat. it happened under the civil rights legislation, which, of course, he was. you know, he feels very associated with because that was his father or his brother, his father and his father's brother. yeah, yeah, in between them. >> but because the democrats are now seen as the party of the rich elites, you know, chris cuomo even made that point. they got the rich donors looking down on them. >> amazing in that. >> amazing in that. >> yeah, yeah, yeah, i was like, wow, where did this guy come from? whereas of course trump is part of the elite in a sense. and obviously rfk jr is, but they're sort of a more benign counter elite that actually ostensibly cares about the people, whereas the democrats are just like corruption. nancy pelosi stock picks. it's just just out and out. >> oligarchy has specific issues. he's interested in, and

zuckerberg clearly also is talking at this point about covid rather than acknowledging that he also deliberately swung the election. >> but yes, i think and he did say trump was badass, didn't he? >> once he's starting to, you know, and cover the hunter biden thing as well. >> yeah, but i think he's sort of coming clean here and saying it was a mistake. and i think that's fair enough. there's some key points here where the white house defended its actions in telling him to cover these things up and said, when confronted with a deadly pandemic, this administration encouraged responsible actions to protect public health and safety. and those are the kind of words we're hearing a lot. there's always these very good reasons for justifications for kerbing free speech, and also at one point say, mr biden had accused facebook of killing people, which i think is interesting because we go to harm very easily. but also if you're saying any theories about covid, you are a murderer. and that's that's the extent that we jump that's that's the extent that we jump to there's a nasty flu. >> so you have to cover up my

son's wrongdoings. so carry on. >> kerry, we have insights from venezuela now in the guardian that could have a significant impact on future headliners formats. >> yes, free speech seems to be our theme tonight , doesn't it? our theme tonight, doesn't it? and we're on to a different angle of free speech, because this is what happens on the other side of the coin when you completely, you know, stop when you have censorship and you stop free speech. and this is in venezuela, being on camera is no longer sensible. persecuted venezuelan journalists turned to ai. so in venezuela, of course, all hell is going on with extrajudicial killings and detentions of actors and journalists and suppression of protesters with live ammunition and censorship , closing media and censorship, closing media outlets, blocking websites, loads of human rights abuses, and particularly following the election , which most serious election, which most serious commentators believe should have gone to edmundo gonzalez by by a significant margin. and so it's becoming dangerous for reporters to do anything about it. so what they've started doing is creating avatars in order to so the you know, i can see this going horribly wrong and seeing

heartbreaking scenes of avatars being arrested and thrown into virtual prisons. but but at the moment, they're putting up avatars to put out the news and they can't. >> i mean, i read the story, but i'm slightly puzzled how it actually looks in real life. i presume that they aren't sort of on location, but with an avatar over their face or something. well, then you've got to have a secret location where they're doing this from, i imagine. >> maybe they're out. they're out of the country or something. i don't think they're going to tell us here where they are. >> so this isn't the no. but what i mean is, i mean, they're not actually reporting on the stuff live. this is like what what you might have as your thumbnail photograph at the top of a column or. no, i think it's a talking ai. >> it's an avatar, you know, much like, have you not been to see abba voyage? abba voyage, right. >> i don't believe they would have that technology in venezuela like news newsrooms . venezuela like news newsrooms. >> well, they would if they had like abba. >> have you not seen that? well, i think it could be. i mean, have you seen those eyes on twitter and stuff where they say this person isn't real and they look incredibly real? >> it could be that photograph looks real. >> no, no, even even video now

looks incredibly real. yeah. >> so they you think they just make one of those, put it on the screen and it talks? >> yeah, i imagine i imagine it generates for real. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and this is to avoid people finding out which journalists have said this following them home and because i mean a couple of things. >> isn't it ironic this is in the guardian given one, that they backed venezuela style policies and two, that they backed cancel culture. so strongly because i feel in starmer's britain, like i should be in al and that would have been the better way to go. and now i'm out. i might retreat into ai myself because you don't really feel that safe that you're tweeting anymore. >> no. well, i mean, also, i'm, you know, i've probably passed my best as well i could. it's cheaper than getting work done, isn't it? all kinds of little advantages. i would listen if i could create an abba voyage, stand up, you know, to tour the country. yes. i would be like , country. yes. i would be like, yes, that's the future. >> stay at home and send our avatars out. >> i'll be just sitting there

avatars out. >> was)e just sitting there avatars out. >> was that st sitting there avatars out. >> was that times ng there avatars out. >> was that times nowiere avatars out. >> was that times now nick blatant marxist praxis is putting the red into the british red cross. >> yeah this is just your woke red meat british red cross tells staff stop saying maiden name and pensioner. this is a 12 page handbook. so 12 pages. speaking about dense text, it's a 12 page opus. yeah >> eight long handbooks people. >> eight long handbooks people. >> and of course it's advising i say, of course, because we're so used to this stuff, employees are advised to say women, girls and people who menstruate or people who have periods rather than solely referring to women. and more these this is my favourite guidance also asks staff to avoid the term illegal migration instead includes person in search of safety or person in search of safety or person experiencing migration, which probably is how it feels. you sort of wonder are these policies or just natural acts? people are just in a kind of flow of air, experiencing migration and being pushed around the world. no. >> i'm experiencing. >> i'm experiencing. >> yeah. and or from a minoritized ethnic group, you can say or global majority. i

always think they have to be very careful with global majority because once once we know it's where the minority, we're going to start demanding rights. >> well, you're right, every single one of those phrases is loaded in its own way. and i do find it amusing, but also sinister that they say that this they just assert without evidence that this language is inclusive for every one person who feels included by people who have periods, hundreds are feeling half the population they live with, some in some kind of weird, you know, like post dystopian, you know, wasteland. we always change words. >> but this is an obsession now, isn't it? it's speeding up. and what's interesting is we're not doing it with men, only with women. so, you know, you can imagine standing in front of an audience and saying people who menstruate and gentlemen. yeah, the gentleman's fine. the ladies and gentlemen's band as well, people who shake ladies and gentlemen's band, but not the gentleman. >> not a gentleman. >> not a gentleman. >> it's the ladies part of the ladies think it's so offensive. the other one is, is, elderly youngster and pensioner are somehow offensive now. and i've heard this one. you're not. you're supposed to say older, but it's really hard in conversation to be clear that you're talking about someone who's a lot older. so you have to say considerably older

because you start referring to elders. >> but that implies a certain amount of tribal wisdom that the elder, an elder, doesn't have the same connotation. i mean, i think there is a prostate. however, if you want to be equal opportunity prostate, that you're not even allowed to say born a man or woman or biological male or female. >> how on earth do you even does anyone know what you're even talking about at that point? do you know what though? >> it's that thing about experiencing migration. it does tie in with that lack of agency that certain people are perceived to have, which is exactly what underpins two tier policing. as soon as you say somebody is experiencing migration, they have not made any kind of decisive moves in their life. you can then again say they are experiencing hunger and now that's why they're shoplifting. and all these you know, i feel gutted if i got on a boat and risked my life and they just said , are you they just said, are you experiencing migration? >> like, mate, i risked my life, i did loads, you know what i mean? you've done loads. you've got on a boat, you've paid loads of money to a pirate. >> staying with the times now, kerry. the edinburgh festival are the latest to discover that the snp stands for suggestions, not promises and may collapse.

>> sorry let you have your moment then. due to snp's broken funding pledges, the edinburgh international festival risks being dismantled, its executive director has warned, because the snp administration's failure to honour its funding pledges, which has been promised now by by humza yousaf and by john swinney and the snp before it was saying that that fund of 6.6 million would go back into the festival, which of course it isn't happening, nowadays if you go there, you have to pay about a million for accommodation anyway, so it's not necessarily going to help. it's getting untouchable. sorry. yeah. >> no, i mean it's absurd. i understand this is the international festival, not the fringe , you know. so they're fringe, you know. so they're talking about bringing over world class opera productions and what have you. it's a slightly different calculation, but they could get the infrastructure of scotland so much better, you know, just in to order support a festival, that would be the first thing. >> but it's also there's so many people going up there now that i'm hearing from. are they either really they're not going up there at all. they either live there or they have a friend

who lives there who they can rent a flat out from. yeah, i feel also that i think a lot of the artists feel kind of cheated because they've put so much time and money into this festival. you think from the university's point of view, the university, how many universities in the country would love to be able to rent out almost every single room as a venue by the hour and not lose any money for a month? yeah, that's a fortune in itself. and of course, the comedians and the other artists do lose money if they don't get the audiences, but they still have to pay that venue money. yeah. so it's time really that the, the local government there are putting at least putting something back into it and rewarding the artists who spent so much there. >> they seem to be determined. i think some other comedian, i can't remember who it was, said they grabbed the golden goose by they grabbed the golden goose by the neck and they're trying to give it a hysterectomy. >> yeah, it's something like that. yeah. >> did you have a view on that, nick? >> no, i hate the festival. i hate the greed. and it prioritises leftist activism. >> the international festival, which is quite high culture. this is not quite the fringe. >> oh, i see what you mean. >> oh, i see what you mean. >> yeah, well, this is what the fringe was the fringe of originally. i would shut it all

down, but no, i mean, it's still, you know, it should be able to work. the edinburgh's got an absolute cash cow there and it seems determined to, to screw it up. the world beating fragility of robin d'angelo now as she's accused of plagiarising academics of colour. >> yes. anti—racism author accused of plagiarising ethnic minority academics who would have guessed so? robin angelo, who wrote this awful, poisonous book. white fragility, which is behind a lot of these don't hold back. behind a lot of these don't hold back . no, behind a lot of these don't hold back. no, i better not. it's behind so much of this woke garbage. we have to deal with. and this, you know, critical race theory nonsense. well, in her doctoral thesis, she looks like she may have lifted allegedly two paragraphs from thomas nakayama, an asian american professor. and they are. i've read them both . they are. i've read them both. they are. i've read them both. they are incredibly similar. both mean nothing , but in very, very mean nothing, but in very, very similar language. and there's a few other instances as well, which look very plagiarised to the layman, allegedly satirical content. but yes, because it's not confirmed, but it's in a thesis, you know, you're youngen thesis, you know, you're younger, you're like, oh, this is long and boring. i better just it can happen. that's all i'm saying.

>> all this stuff has been plagiarised from judith butler anyway. isn't it true to a mix and just pour it out on the it's all unreadable nonsense that didn't make sense in the first place. >> yes. it's like plagiarising astrology readings. it really doesn't make much difference, doesn't make much difference, does it? >> but well , but that's the >> but well, but that's the final. the third section, just the final section to go with scientific prospects and fish on prozac. what a world.

welcome back to headliners for welcome back to headliners for the final section. kerry will the final section. kerry will kick off with this story. no kick off with this story. no coincidence that it hits the coincidence that it hits the press on the same day that the press on the same day that the oasis comeback from professor oasis comeback from professor claims we are fundamentally claims we are fundamentally wrong about death. wrong about death. >> he's a 500 year old man. no, >> he's a 500 year old man. no, he's not professor parnia. he he's not professor parnia. he wrote a book about lucid dying. wrote a book about lucid dying. it doesn't sound quite so lucid it doesn't sound quite so lucid himself, and he says that the himself, and he says that the brain after death is salvageable brain after death is salvageable not only for ours, but possibly not only for ours, but possibly

days or days at a days or days at a time. which is nice to know that we might have a salvageable brain after you die , and he said, why should i die, and he said, why should i stay dead? that's not necessary anymore, this is the voice of someone who's not completely mad, but i'm pretty sure he's got an evil laugh. >> lucid dream . and it just >> lucid dream. and it just sounds like complete grift, doesn't it? if you're trying to explain it, don't bring lucid in from draghi. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> yeah, yeah. did you also know it when he said, look, i tell everyone i'm going to have a cardiac arrest soon. >> i mean, that's a kind of an odd thing to say, isn't it? stop eating all all the burgers and the bacon. >> wendy's. it was a bit fatalistic. >> he's like, he insists he's completely serious. >> you shouldn't have to insist, should you? you should. i'm obviously serious. i'm scientist. >> yeah, i do agree with him, though, because i was watched a few podcasts, basically with that guy aubrey de grey, and he had a big beard. so i was convinced by him and he said that ageing is just a form of damage and we should be able to fix it from then on. i thought we could fix it. on the flip side, that those transhumanist people are a bit freaky, aren't they? like nova? what's he called? yuval thingy? yuval harari, he's always a bit. they

freak me out. he's like, yeah, we can live forever. and they're always kind of weirdos. so that's against it. >> you'll live longer in your pension run out anyway. it's absolutely pointless and useless. >> yeah, it's all about your telomeres and your mitochondrial dna. yeah. >> would you want to live forever if it was in starmer's britain? that's a question. >> as the very old and well, you know, circulated saying goes, people think about trying to be immortal who can't think of what to do on a long, wet sunday afternoon, you know? yes, i hate to say alex jones was right again, but it begins to look like he was. here we go, nick. they're turning the fricking fish. >> happy. that's all i can say. i wonder if you'd go with that reference. yeah, it's prozac in waterways. it's changing how fish behave. research finds. basically, they're giving fluoxetine not giving it, but they get into a fish and it reduces the body condition. and sperm vitality of male guppies over multiple generations. and we can't have that. so they're all on prozac and they're all they don't. you know, their lives are kind of living in a haze of xanax and prozac, and they're unmarried and they're watching sex and the city

depressed. >> yes. >> yes. >> right. but their sperm is a mess. >> this has been happening. i mean, alex jones was right years ago on this, wasn't he? i've got ago on this, wasn't he? i've got a perfectly scientific book. i can't remember what it's called, but it starts with them fishing alligators out of the florida swamp that all have unusable, deformed, tiny genitals. it's really sad. we are genuinely destroying our wildlife. totally. >> but it's also sad to look at their genitals like that. >> weird. >> weird. >> imagine you're a crocodile and you're so sort of fearsome, and you're so sort of fearsome, and then you've got malformed tiny. >> would it make you more or less fearsome ? great question. less fearsome? great question. question, carrie . i suspect i question, carrie. i suspect i can see what the gag is going to be here, but please talk us through hyper fatigue. >> absolutely not. are you? are you suffering from hyper fatigue? as experts say, it's the new epidemic. everyone's fatigue? as experts say, it's the new epidemic . everyone's got the new epidemic. everyone's got it, apparently, they're basically suggesting you sleep on it. hahaha. that's not what it was going to be. and they tell you what it is, and there's a whole long explanation about what hyper fatigue is. it's just it's extreme tiredness and, it's being caused by everything. and the things you should do about it is avoid caffeine, get enough

sleep and eat sensibly. and all the things you would guess without reading this. >> all the things i'm not doing too many guppies. yes, it's i definitely i read it and i'm like, i definitely have this because i had a two week old and i felt great. i came back a couple of days with lewis. you're knackered. yeah. >> no, absolutely. there are certain toxic elements that you have to get out of your life. >> no fun hong kong news. >> no fun hong kong news. >> this might be our last story. let's see how it goes. we are, of course, being encouraged to snigger at their attempts to encourage sexual hygiene in the young. >> yeah, this is hong kong teenagers told to play badminton to master their sexual desires. i love that phrase. so basically they're turning to shuttlecocks rather than . anyway, i can't rather than. anyway, i can't complete that joke at 5 am, but yeah, and i think it is a great idea and i haven't really read it, but i, i think it will work. it's a, i love it's a sort of 19505 it's a, i love it's a sort of 1950s approach, isn't it ? 1950s approach, isn't it? >> they're basically encouraging young people to do strenuous exercise when they feel the urge rising. but these are 14 year olds, so i don't think it's

necessarily a bad idea. >> it will work better than beach volleyball. i'll tell you that for sure. it wouldn't work for me because i'm turned on by bald headed women in wedding dresses, and that's what the shuttlecock makes me think of. >> but they have a problem in east asia that their fertility rate is plummeting, so they're obviously trying to keep kids bottled up and play games until ready for marriage. and then in they go and start. >> yeah, no, it does seem counterintuitive, doesn't it, that they want to master the sexual desires when they need to get that birth rate up. >> yeah, but you're just gonna have loads of scenes now with teenagers furiously playing badminton. >> well, that's the best way to win at badminton is play it furiously, isn't it? that's

mail finally, starmer, daily mail finally, starmer, daily mail finally, starmer comes clean. he'll soak the middle class. daily telegraph starmer's tax alert for middle england metro stars align. the wait is over, oasis are back. and finally the daily star eat invaders would wipe us all out . those were your front all out. those were your front pages. that is it for tonight's show. thanks to my guests carrie and nick. andrew doyle will be here tomorrow at 11 pm. with steve and alan and nick dixon. if you have been watching at 5 am, stay tuned for breakfast. a.m, stay tuned for breakfast. otherwise, thank you very much for your company. i've been simon evans. see you again next week. thank you. good night. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> good evening from the met office. here's your latest gb news weather update. whilst there is still a bit of rain around for some of us across parts of the south east, we're looking ahead to some hot weather tomorrow. that's because we're staying ahead of the front. that's lingering across

parts of the uk at the moment. in the southeast, and so some warmer hot air pushing its way in, but where we're under the front as we go through this evening and overnight, there will be some more cloud and some rain. so particularly across parts of northern england, southern scotland. but also wales and the southwest. later on, seeing some rain as well. also some patches of mist and fog here in the southeast. because of that, warmer, hotter air temperatures aren't going to drop a huge amount tonight. and in fact, even further north, not turning particularly chilly because of the cloud and some showery rain across parts of scotland and northern ireland. so across scotland, first thing, yes, there may be some heavier, showery bursts, perhaps clearing away, but on the whole for many it's starting largely dry, but some showers quickly moving into the far west of scotland, also the far west of scotland, also the far west of scotland, also the far west of northern ireland, having some showers but dner ireland, having some showers but drier further east. and then that front lingering across northern england, bringing a damp start to the day here for some and down western parts of wales and southwest england. also a bit of wet weather here. further east, though, lots of dry, sunny to weather start the

day tomorrow, particularly across the midlands , east anglia across the midlands, east anglia and the southeast. and here it's going to stay largely fine through much of the day across the southwest. any rain is likely to break up and so it's going to turn drier here. meanwhile, across scotland and northern ireland, heavy, showery rain pushing its way in from the west. in the southeast , west. in the southeast, temperatures are going to be highest higher than today. highs of around 28 or 29 celsius. as we go into thursday, there will be more showers across parts of scotland, northern ireland, perhaps northern and western england and wales, as well, but further south and east you have a greater chance of staying dry with plenty of fine sunny weather. temperatures won't be quite as high as tomorrow, but nonetheless feeling pleasantly warm in the sunshine. and there's more fine settled weather to come for most of us as we go through the end of the week. by by a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on

gb news. >> it's 9 pm. on patrick christys tonight . christys tonight. >> frankly, things will get worse before they get better, don't we just know it? there is a budget coming in october and it's going to be painful, but as keir starmer actually being honest, let me be clear, i'm going to be really tough about this with the unions as i'm being tough with everybody else. >> now. do you believe that i'm not really going to take lectures on this from the people who dragged our country so far down in the last few years? he arrogantly ignores the cronyism scandal. i'll have all the reaction to the pm's doom and gloom speech, plus . there was no gloom speech, plus. there was no mention in his speech of police officers being violently attacked amid gun and knife crime at notting hill carnival.

more evidence of two tier care. also tonight, get it right. >> how do we get it straight ? >> how do we get it straight? what do we want? pay restoration. when do we want it ? now. >> well, the doctors are now revolting over the bma's warped gender ideology , which is gender ideology, which is possibly a step in the right direction. i'll bring you tomorrow's newspaper front pages with my wonderful panel. it is columnist and broadcaster esther krakow, director of the centre of migration and economic prosperity, steven woolfe, and political commentator jonathan lees. oh, and find out what happens next here. as a circus bear finally snaps. get ready britain. here we go . britain. here we go. it's keir starmer emerging as a massive authoritarian with no opposition and a huge majority. next .
