france on saturday. former england manager sam allardyce told us france will be tough competition , of course, and competition, of course, and mbappe particularly as have some really outstanding players . but really outstanding players. but they still had is right up there with a very best so we need to pay with a very best so we need to pay special attention him and of course giroux was the leading goal scorer in france level in the box to take care of himself defensively will be tested more than ever before but certainly france will have a lot to worry about with the form of our friend play at the moment. the transport secretary says a decision by rmt union to reject an 8% pay offer is incredibly disappointing and, unfair to the public. disappointing and, unfair to the pubuc.the disappointing and, unfair to the public. the rail delivery group had offered the pay rise, along with a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies before april 20, 24. however, the uk's biggest rail workers union said the deal wouldn't protect its members and lead to unsafe

practises while accomplices. the rmt should put offer to its members and cool planned strikes . the head of the police watchdog has been forced to resign over an historical allegation. it's now emerged that michael lockwood , who has that michael lockwood, who has been director general of the independent for police conduct since 2018, is facing a criminal investigation. the home secretary , suella braverman, secretary, suella braverman, says she told him to quit or face immediate suspension after learning about the probe . when learning about the probe. when he announced his resignation on friday, he said it was for personal reasons, perhaps preparations are well underway for charles's coronation, which takes place in just 150 days. the st crown has now been removed from the tower of london to be resized. its relocation was kept secret until it was safely delivered. the ceremony on the sixth is expected to be much smaller than the late queen's around 2000. guests are expected instead of 8000 on tv ,

expected instead of 8000 on tv, onune expected instead of 8000 on tv, online and on the abbey plus radio . this is the people's radio. this is the people's channel giving . it's time now channel giving. it's time now for headliners headliners . for headliners headliners. hello and welcome to headliners. i'm your host, stephen ireland. and tonight so i'm joined by or as twitter will be saying pretty soon so called comedians frances foster and eddie brimson . but foster and eddie brimson. but first, let's take a look at tomorrow's front pages. we start with the telegraph rail unions refused to save christmas. the ai. energy firms target homes in fuel poverty . the guardian goes fuel poverty. the guardian goes with sicker and poorer. a report reveals britain's widening health divide. the times midlife health checks go digital . the health checks go digital. the daily express army in training to deal strike chaos in the metro . here we go , just to metro. here we go, just to stress the pun. and the star,

the hangover, part two. monster monday's three lions roar into . monday's three lions roar into. a world cup quarter final . and a world cup quarter final. and those are your front pages . those are your front pages. let's make some sense of this. then we kick with the front page of the metro francis took us through the big story. so the big story is obviously england's three nil win against senegal . three nil win against senegal. it was a really good performance. the 35 minutes, we were a bit dodgy. it looked like senegalese might actually score goal senegalese might actually score goal. pickford saved us and the match, like you just said, goes a rather disgraceful pattern of here we go. and a picture of harry kane circa jordan henderson and for me man of the match bellingham as someone who doesn't know anything about football i will avoid it by going any well i said correctly so i thought it was a tricky tone that i thought was going to slip up. but they dominate it. it really. the first 45 minutes are a bit dodgy, but yeah. so

bnng are a bit dodgy, but yeah. so bring on the french, on them, on saturday night now. and that's why here we go. of why they said, here we go. of course . yes. and of course , it's course. yes. and of course, it's tough going as someone who doesn't really care too much about football . what one or about football. what one or what's wrong you.7 i about football. what one or what's wrong you? i don't what's wrong with you? i don't know. probably kind of know. genetic, probably kind of the i want from the problem. i want from mansfield. know, who mansfield. so, you know, who would. it means that would. yeah, but it means that this me watching the this time, me not watching the world as some sort of world cup, seen as some sort of political protest . political boycott, a protest. whereas when i don't watch it, normally people there's something when something wrong with me. when i don't world don't watch the women's world cup. a bad guy. oh, cup. oh, i'm a bad guy. oh, well, same act all the way through, it? you. we through, isn't it? but you. we ask the question. do you think we it ? i think. ask the question. do you think we it? i think. i think we can do it? i think. i think we can do it? i think. i think we can do it. it's all about always going on about mbappe being the player. but the french i right they were in the poll so they could go and i had a couple of good chances to score. so we always got a lot. we got goals in wee bit dodgy at the back but it's 90 minutes and all those phrases to do with football because we're all watching them oh not on in that think we

oh it's not on in that think we are a bit dodgy would you would you agree. we are a bit dodgy of the england judiciary tend to be better defensively we are not we were actually our strikers in our attackers are the real strength we'll have strength of the team. we'll have to see i would put france as the favourites but look there's always a chance that we beat always a chance that we can beat them. they've a tottenham them. they've got a tottenham goalkeeper said, yeah, goalkeeper already said, yeah, he's that , he's dodgy. that's where that, that's where the chelsea at the back. you actually know they should do a spin version of the show where talk we show where we talk about we could do can we do it on could do that. can we do it on our let's take a look at the front page of the guardian. now, eddie us through the stories, the headline is sicker and poorer report reveals britain's widening health divide and that you're more likely to take time off you're in the north off work if you're in the north off work if you're in the north of england. that's probably because you can't afford to take days off the south of england days off in the south of england . got your to . you've got your mortgage to pay, they're saying pay, but yeah, they're saying that divide is getting that the divide is getting bigger and often, as most of us have known for a long time, the levelling up isn't really yeah, that kind of disappeared as a

thing. it was all very for thing. it was all very well for a while. people saying a while. people were saying levelling seemed to levelling up, nothing seemed to be levelled upped. be other levelled or upped. no, i mean, really the i mean, that is really the problem is a phrase in a slogan has been consistently used again and but you're looking and again. but you're looking around country, which around that this country, which is dire economically is in really dire economically you going where is this magical levelling up service is are in chaos. there are strikes , you chaos. there are strikes, you know, energy crisis , feel poor . know, energy crisis, feel poor. i don't see any levelling up. yeah.i i don't see any levelling up. yeah. i mean, for a while it did feel like if we had better infrastructure here in the north, i'm from the midlands so i kind of get a sense of it. but i kind of get a sense of it. but i know further north be other issues. but the idea that i mean the pennine trains across pennine trains laughable the idea could have better idea you could have better infrastructure help felt infrastructure might help felt like sense five years like it made sense five years ago now things are so bad ago but now things are so bad you about put some extra you think about put some extra trains that really going trains on. is that really going to the north? well, i used to help the north? well, i used to help the north? well, i used to in eastleigh, the to live in eastleigh, the yorkshire. we the bridge yorkshire. we had the bridge effects between effects and that line between manchester and leeds is an artist crisis. obviously people didn't have don't say i now live

in the east midlands and it's tough up there . tough up there. tough up there. tough up there. and i've come down to london to die in london for quite a while andifs die in london for quite a while and it's a very different down here and it is a bit like the nonh here and it is a bit like the north is getting left. it's getting left behind. when i first moved from the midlands down here and ordered a glass of wine a i was dating , down here and ordered a glass of wine a i was dating, i wine, a lady i was dating, i nearly slapped the barman. what i said glass, not bottle night . i said glass, not bottle night. but anyway . yeah. so anything but anyway. yeah. so anything else on the front page in terms of stories? this is . so i was of stories? this is. so i was going to say if we're moving on to the ai now, so with the ai is obviously got top scorers face france in the battle for top four but again what are talking about the cost of living crisis energy firms target homes in fuel poverty and this is a really shocking statistic, stephen. half a million households in this country are so deeply in debt over their energy bills that gas and electricity giants were granted rights to force them onto control prepayment metres in the

past year. so it's half a million people a strong link to pay million people a strong link to pay the gas and electric bill facing that choice heating or eating and they're being put on these prepayment metres. here's these prepayment metres. here's the real kicker they're expensive to buy the gas or electricity so what you effectively are doing is punishing people for being poor. it's an absolute scandal, much like loan sharks. yeah really in a different way. you're making pay a different way. you're making pay upfront and pay more for the service that they already are. is yeah, it's not good. it feels like there should be a question about whether that should be allowed, whether you should be. i i can understand if i mean, i can understand if people paying bills people aren't paying bills a prepayment metre, there's an argument least you know argument there at least you know you money because you've you get the money because you've got the money. but the fact that it's expensive that someone it's more expensive that someone who they have who so out of cash, they have one these warrants against one of these warrants against them their metre. them that changes their metre. they have a hot cup of they pay more, have a hot cup of tea than do. so my things to tea than we do. so my things to people are the bottom getting stuff them isn't the stuff to them isn't always the way work, know? and way things work, you know? and you you know, the you look at, you know, the energy bills and way they're

energy bills and the way they're skyrocketing inflation skyrocketing and inflation there are of people this are a lot of people in this country about make it country who just about make it to the the month. they to the end of the month. they live paycheque to paycheque. a lot people this country lot of people in this country and of a sudden through no and all of a sudden through no of their lives have of their own, their lives have been made more expensive and they're not going to be able to make it to the end of the month and is punishing and and which is punishing and making life more making their life more difficult. complete difficult. it's a complete scandal. let's move to scandal. well let's move on to see what telegraph leading see what the telegraph leading with this going with eddie. is this going to cheer unions refuse cheer us up? rail unions refuse to save christmas. is the headune to save christmas. is the headline that's not going to hear them. no, it's well, i love the wording of it. that's the thing that gets to me. it's like everything is the rail union's fault, but it's crunch time for the unions i'm one of the people i'm a big supporter of the unions strikes big unions and about strikes on big support i think it's support or striking i think it's something slowly but surely sort of it all off by of kicked it all off by destroying the unions part have got the rail union to hold but the rail union of got a strong union that's whatever able to be in this bargaining position and so yeah going to be disruptive

but we're really a crunch time of if you want good services not just the rail unions, everything else pay people proper money . i else pay people proper money. i suppose there would be an argument that, people in the pubuc argument that, people in the public sector who get the if they get the pay rises they are striking for will have better pay striking for will have better pay rises than anyone in the private sector. is that fair . private sector. is that fair. yeah. well well again it might get if you go in tomorrow. you know i came down from court watching downing street today extortionate price. most people were standing up. i just went straight to first class, managed to grab a seat and didn't get charged for it. but you get it right. but if you want if you want if i'm sitting on something that probably buys two, 300 tonnes and is going to hundred miles an hour, other , i want miles an hour, other, i want a bloke to be getting paid the proper or the woman is doing that because i need someone at the which with the front which with responsibility you can take that job they to paid for that job and they to be paid for that job. but yeah, i know i take that but if you get paid

that point but if you get paid not that you want, not the amount that you want, you're going more you're not going to be more laissez faire with when you apply the brakes. no, but you want that. goes back to the want that. this goes back to the levelling want people levelling up if you want people to. want the right people to. if you want the right people to. if you want the right people to right jobs, then you to do the right jobs, then you have pay them money in have to pay them right money in this to go out across the this case to go out across the board is the way started the word in destroying word in they destroying christmas in the same sort of christmas is in the same sort of wording. they it against the nurses the teachers nurses and the teachers and you've to start paying you've just got to start paying people which you pay people francis which you pay them amounts they're after. them the amounts they're after. yeah because as yeah i would agree because as a former it's very, very former teacher it's very, very difficult to do jobs and people are. they always frame it as a road drivers, but actually it's a station staff. it's the people who work at the station. these people don't earn a lot of like i said before , for a lot of i said before, for a lot of people, it's just about making it to the end of the month. everything's seems to be going up. you need to give people a pay up. you need to give people a pay rise. you just do. i'm hoping there's something more positive next 16. part positive in the next 16. part two. we've got good old fashioned british strikes. it's a hallway . you wants to send a

a hallway. you wants to send a message to putin. and the demise of the fashion police . see you .

in two. welcome back to headliners. i'm still stephen allen and. i'm still stephen allen and. i'm still joined by top comedians frances foster and eddie brinson . and let's crack on looking now at sun. eddie, the army could replace ambulances. so if you think ambulance times are bad now, wait til you do it in a tank. well this is it from the sun . it says the military could sun. it says the military could be deployed to work on uk borders and drive ambulances dunng borders and drive ambulances during the christmas strike. chaos. now, this surprise you because the lights are good in here, but i'm actually old enough to remember when army were in last time when were called in last time when i was a fire strikes and i would do it all the fire engines because. but stuff the duvet down back the gas fire down the back of the gas fire and our house went in smoke but

yeah again on purpose because you want to wish it was an insurance. no he did it because the fire came away from the wall and was a crack. so he thought the best way to deal would be on a gas fire is put the divide. and he wasn't a clever fella. my old man. but it's no longer he up in smoke again. we go back to this thing about the old way he's going to on the unions again. they're going after his is all the blame going in the same direction? it's not we talked about this a minute ago to me it's not their fault that they're going to have the being pulled in to do this stuff and all we can really , really kick all we can really, really kick off because if they're if they're driving ambulances i recognise what's going to happen if he to press the button and we need a proper job but at least need a properjob but at least get there fast because they could pop the blue line. i would yeah. they would fast down yeah. they would get fast down the mean this is the hall just i mean this is what should happen though an what should happen though if an essential going on. essential service is going on. you army to fill in. you got the army to fill in. well, yeah, that's actually

pretty much standard. and all pretty much standard. and it all goes again pay and like goes back again to pay and like you , you know, having to you said, you know, having to pay you said, you know, having to pay people properly , there's pay people properly, there's also something that we're not talking about is there is a labour shortage. this country, we are really low on people to come and work and part of the problem is everything is going up people can't afford pay gas pay up people can't afford pay gas pay bills pay rent rent is going up on astronomy especially if you live in london the wall you've been quoted in rent is absolutely eye—watering so if you're an essential worker and, you're an essential worker and, you live in london. i really don't know how you can afford to live if you if you're a single person. oh, so if you're talking about getting army in for essential services, i might give the old recruitment firm a shout to say, don't fix my . that's to say, don't fix my. that's going down as well. if they're going down as well. if they're going to do everything and anything. although there is i saw this story and i did think to myself a few ago we had to myself a few days ago we had news stories about the long news stories about the hour long that you if you're in an that you have if you're in an ambulance get hospital, ambulance to get in hospital, why using the army now?

why are we using the army now? already to wait for a already do i have to wait for a strike? if we have enough people doing these jobs anyway? we've got a deployable force. yeah, yeah. good point. if yeah. good point. slightly if i'm suspected heart i'm have a suspected heart attack army turn up, might attack the army turn up, i might think that's hell for my think that's a hell for my hallucinating imagery. yeah it would result as far one day. why am i getting the numbers down on the way in leicester. yeah. yeah at monday's telegraph francis adam zahawi wants to send a relatively expensive message . relatively expensive message. putin he's not heard of emails. i don't think he has. and i'm not sure that putin would actually read an email from the thing. so how. but anyway, he's told nurses that they need to accept a lower pay rise to send accept a lower pay rise to send a message to vladimir putin. because apparently if we accept or if the nurses do accept a lower pay rise , then it will lower pay rise, then it will mean that a more stable economy and that will mean that essentially it will be a sort of two fingers up to russia say that we are united as country and that that means we will far

more stable economically . now more stable economically. now obviously i don't understand what the themes are. he smoking or drinking or before he made this statement . i mean, look , it this statement. i mean, look, it is the position of the conservative party that he will go out and he will say, no we can't we can't give you this rise for x, y, z reasons. his job. everybody understands that . but this statement is ludicrous . do you think vladimir ludicrous. do you think vladimir putin, about the pay rise in the nhs? i mean he's got a war in ukraine to fight? this is a very symbolic , it's such a scandalous symbolic, it's such a scandalous thing to say to bring the nurses into this, but it's like more board in everybody would fade in in the night. everything is to do with people and i know it keep going back on it but it's the big thing. it's tied to freedom. it's all everyone else's fault. it's nothing do with us. it's not going to do us. blame the of people going on strike and it's absolutely scandalous in power scandalous that someone in power

can these two together. can these two things together. yeah yeah it does across as yeah yeah it does come across as a of a reach like you have a bit of a reach like you have to be brainstorming in a meeting for a while until someone says, oh you could it to. oh no, you could link it to. yeah, because same logic yeah, because the same logic that you shouldn't take a pay rise would help us rise because it would help us keep and beat putin, keep inflation and beat putin, well then should all work for free. exactly just go out there and help productivity. well, how about we all about we never sleep? we all work? if you don't do that, work? and if you don't do that, what yeah, yeah . well, what you love. yeah, yeah. well, isupposeif what you love. yeah, yeah. well, i suppose if england get knocked out they'll say out on saturday, they'll say that's reason i say who's that's the reason i say who's been stalled. you know, they'll find however, to take find something, however, to take pay find something, however, to take pay and beat china . they'll pay cut and beat china. they'll write that down if they want. yeah, i love that. the independent edit and to be fair , suella braverman is doing the of sending them all home. yeah. from the independent up all cross—channel asylum seekers indefinitely tells mp owen asylum seekers illegal routes will be locked up indefinitely and banned from ever in the uk and banned from ever in the uk and the hardline plans backed by the home secretary suella

braverman. well i mean i don't know what about locking up our petty criminals and the police do stuff over where they're going to put them is who knows and who's going to pay for it. but it's just it's just scandalous, slightly. so we got a shortage it yeah. if someone's prepared to get on a dinghy and come over and to work here offering a coffee be here i say ipush offering a coffee be here i say i push back on that because i believe that you need a strong immigration system, you need accountable, need to know accountable, you need to know who's the country, who's coming into the country, who's coming into the country, who's the country. who's coming out of the country. but will say this. to me but i will say this. this to me is another ridiculous scheme by the conservative party who quite frankly, have got no their what they're doing. they can't run anything in this country. this country is in absolute chaos. it's only they come up with a rwanda plan. i mean, who came up with that? it sounds like it was someone in this deep hole we came up with this. i'm tom. he came up with this. i'm tom. he came up with that idea. well, suella braverman up suella braverman them up indefinitely. an indefinitely. no you need is an immigration system that works, right? because the problem is if

you just let people cross the channelin you just let people cross the channel in dinghies , nobody does channel in dinghies, nobody does it put their life at risk but it also gives money to people because they're the people who essentially take people . so essentially take people. so you're funding organised crime . you're funding organised crime. i don't want to hear any nonsense from conservative politicians. i just want them to hear we got this plan in place, we're going to execute this plan . not insane rhetoric about locking people up and throwing away key as well is a headline, doesn't it? yeah. some sentences or not. the independent, i imagine , but other newspapers imagine, but other newspapers would like. this is a headline. yeah. yeah. they love it as a headune yeah. yeah. they love it as a headline and i totally agree with you on that. i mean, because this is costing a fortune anyway, looking after these who come over. so these people who come over. so yeah, to be done yeah, it just needs to be done properly someone, properly because someone, someone somewhere is making some money this. i don't money out of all this. i don't have a race, but someone's making some money, but the whole system just totally sham system is just totally sham shambles and shambles at the moment. and people are putting their lives at it's got to at risk. but it's they've got to do something it but that certainly the answer you

certainly is not the answer you know because everybody knows when they listen to her words they empty words. is all they empty words. that is all they empty words. that is all they are is hotter. it doesn't mean anything i'm surprised nothing happened from a week ago. maybe over a week ago when she was asked in the home select committee meeting about what are the legal routes to get at? because the rhetoric always if you come here illegally , x, y, you come here illegally, x, y, z, but if there are no routes and the concept of an illegal route would make any sense if, there is no way to legally come to england to the uk and then to apply for asylum. then it still seems like the using this for. yeah, it's using this phrase because they don't know what they're doing in order to use football parlance. you're back on football again . you can see on football again. you can see me move on the ft on football again. you can see me move on the f t you, francis, good riddance to fashion police. it would seem exactly this is the morality police in iran and what they do is essentially they walk about and essentially monitor women's clothing and.

then there was awful, awful death of the young woman, masha amin, in mid september , which amin, in mid september, which sparked a wave . protests in iran sparked a wave. protests in iran . and that has actually meant that islamic regime who is in control and is running iran at the moment has relaxed the morality police and it means that there's women are now able to walk around without the hijab at moment in iran which is a significant for women's rights is rather to see even though it is rather to see even though it is awful that this woman had to die in order that the these women could have a little bit more freedom in their lives. do you think this the end game now? do you reckon this is the cracks start to show if they continue to protest maybe could be revolution part two what are we talking about celebrity mass beheadings and all things a couple of weeks ago that would crack down on the yeah yeah so again it's people power the people who could change that

were iranian and they've shown incredible strength to carry on that protest . it looks like that protest. it looks like thankfully they've they've they've won it , you know and they've won it, you know and look the critics like you who like you were saying it has to go to iranian women, you know, we talk about bravery in this country. this brave this is yeah, this real this is real to stand up against a brutal autocratic regime where the chances are if you say or do the wrong thing , you could lose your wrong thing, you could lose your life. but to stand up and say that it's wrong and the fact that it's wrong and the fact that women are doing it and not just women, the students and other people involved. well, but it's a movement led by women, i think is absolutely incredible. incredible credit and incredible credit to them. and the this is the thing is, what this is about, mean , it's having about, i mean, it's about having the choice. that's all these women want. they want the choice whether wear it or not. and it is incredible. and amazing show bravery from these women and after this story keeps panning out, let's move on to the

guardian now. eddie and, donald trump wants to get rid of the constitution. i have to say, due to the first amendment, to some document. well, it's the document. well, yeah, it's the guardian body that be guardian body that would be trump constitution trump for saying constitution and should terminated . the and should be terminated. the thing is, trump continues to kind of buy them one key state through electoral fraud . the through electoral fraud. the thing with trump is he knows the power of social media. if you just throw the message out that way enough people who believe you and that he knows there's power in and so all of its kind of pointless really it's just he's just drumming up support as even he's just drumming up support as ever. uh yeah . but it didn't ever. uh yeah. but it didn't seem to pan out that way. the midterms, everyone was thinking that there would be of a resurgence of the trump . but resurgence of the trump. but most of the people that trump backed didn't do particularly know. they didn't do well. they didn't do well. but it's about it's about his ego and everything about trump is about his always certain his ego. always have a certain part of population, which is massive support base and then they can just pretend that he

didn't lose because that's what it's all about that. yeah i mean if you're not going accept if you're not going to accept the an election then the result of an election then there no point in having an there is no point in having an election. suppose like that's that's the thin wedge. that's the thin end the wedge. well would. it is. and well it would. well it is. and look reality is that trump look the reality is that trump might the nominee for the might get the nominee for the republican vote, but reality is he's never going to win because january the sixth. the left an indelible stain on his reputation the people aren't going to forget . what happened going to forget. what happened it was they were awful scenes that democracy that he was associated with so to me he's he's damaged goods always will be so all these little of course of course if i had footage of you from enough years ago. would you from enough years ago. would you have been saying there's way the guy from the apprentice is going to win this like. well, is always up and reagan come in. many voters, if you really are older than me and i'm not on their . yeah older than me and i'm not on their. yeah yeah it's madness that's american politics and it's about show , not necessarily it's about show, not necessarily about substance. yeah that is the problem of a presidential

system . the instead of voting system. the instead of voting for a party and various policies, it's all about i like that person for whatever. well, the reality is as well is that like i said before the four years of trump's presidency were so toxic. they were so divisive. now my partner is american and i talk to a lot of our family. i have friends over there and. everybody, even people who supported trump were saying to me, francis , we're just tired. me, francis, we're just tired. we want the constant outrage . we we want the constant outrage. we don't want the waking in the morning. and so, oh, sweet lord . what has he done now? so do you think trump would have lost the election if it weren't for covid. i no, actually, i don't. i think , he, i think it would i think, he, i think it would have been much closer and i think that has actually more to do with biden being a weak a really weak candidate. i think if they'd actually appointed a strong candidate with strong ideas and with a real personality, which someone who was who could have gone out to the and said, look , going the rushbo and said, look, going to for you, we're going to

to work for you, we're going to be a more traditional democrat party. going to work for party. that's going to work for that's for working that's going to work for working class they have class people. they would have had chance. instead, what had a real chance. instead, what they've a glorified they've got is a glorified corpse the but the lies corpse just off the but the lies and they did work for him to a certain extent and it still is still working for a guy in 20 cent and i'm 40 it's what's made his way into our politics because we see so much of that with with both . yeah. yeah i did with with both. yeah. yeah i did say some them to be true and if someone holds your account accuse them of bias because they're holding it to account. same long enough no same thing. long enough no matter if it's alive. enough people who believe use the people who believe i use the same in my relationship same tactics in my relationship you finish this point is after the break some around the break the race some around the break the race some around the palace social justice warriors on twitter and the astonishingly inept ministers get excited. we'll see you .

welcome back to headline as let's get right back in with the metro and someone's been invited to the palace and we know which question will not be asked . yes. question will not be asked. yes. so, charles is invited ngozi fulani to buckingham palace after the rice row that engulfed the papers and seemingly the media last week. so the king and queen have invited the charity boss to come back in and to meet . this was a story about at absolutely nothing and i couldn't believe when . there's couldn't believe when. there's so much happening in this country. there is so many things as so many people struggling . as so many people struggling. there's a war in ukraine and we are obsessing about essentially, oh, no woman being not particularly tactful and being a little bit rude and brusk to it's a black woman. and that was that was it. that was it. and she was be and that's all it

was. and we obsess about it to the point of nausea. it was ridiculous to me, but i think people are obsessed about it because there was actual passion about this story. my radio's been full of focus . i mean, been full of focus. i mean, qualifying is quite a big deal, to be fair. and the issue is with the royal family being institutional racism and of course, you've got the stuff with meghan, i've got my own opinions on meghan. we've come to later. but i think it's to that later. but i think it's quite a big story because it's , quite a big story because it's, it's rude, it's disingenuous. there's so much about it. and, and i think she's right to bring it up and it does show this. oh, no, it's an age thing. you know, people say, you know, they're older people. you got to give them a bit of leeway. but should know better . it shouldn't be know better. it shouldn't be about the rudeness, though, because loads of people are rude. they and obviously this is this something king grind and this is something king grind and i think this i actually think this is quite a big story there's some other issues around this story that are quite interesting as well. but yeah ,

interesting as well. but yeah, yeah, i think it's yeah, you know, this as there's loads of the problem with this story, there's loads of nuance on any parts of it, but the bit that struck me is the if you are saying really from really implies that you've just not told if ask you told the truth. if i ask you a question, that's the same question, that's the same question with the word really. yeah.i question with the word really. yeah. i think question with the word really. yeah. ithink very question with the word really. yeah. i think very heavily yeah. i think is very heavily lies whether you're really lies in whether you're really from woman's bone here from this woman's bone here she's and this she's british and this conversation insinuates that she's not and that's really disrespect for and it's offensive . let's test it. offensive. let's test it. francis, where are you from ? if francis, where are you from? if you want to actually know this? well, my mother is from venezuela . my dad's from wigan . venezuela. my dad's from wigan. he's for you ? yes, for real. my he's for you? yes, for real. my eyes for real. and for some peculiar reason, i come out looking jewish. but anyway, there we go . so i try. and my there we go. so i try. and my mother's roots from those from russia, from venezuela . but russia, from venezuela. but everybody in venezuela is very genetically mixed. so i've got a part south american native and also arabs from lebanon and

tripoli. so that's where i'm from. did you do an actual 23 metre test? no, no, no. that's just my family history. yeah, thatis just my family history. yeah, that is . yeah. my father loved that is. yeah. my father loved that is. yeah. my father loved that. that is. yeah. my father loved that . love that. lucky you. love that. love that. lucky you. love it. it's not because i love , you it. it's not because i love, you know, imagine the jokes. you could get away single for it is that. no i don't think that's quite weighty to have one of the tests in the it was all around london several one one thought in somerset . yeah. oh my god . in somerset. yeah. oh my god. yes. but i like scientists . yes. but i like scientists. good, peter. there you go. so. but this to me is on that i think a lot of people always asking my mum where, where she was from because we, we get people round to the house workmen and they say to my mum, were you from where you italian , are you spanish. you you know, where are you from sheets where are you from in sheets i venezuela because it was, venezuela and because it was, you when we knew venezuela you know when we knew venezuela is well they'd be like is that africa yeah. and i don't africa right. yeah. and i don't see the offence behind it is because i look at this woman,

she's 83 years old, you know, she's 83 years old, you know, she's been tactless. she's, she's been tactless. she's, she's not being especially polite i guess the way i was just raised was sometimes older people can be a bit tactless and they can say the wrong thing and they can say the wrong thing and they can say the wrong thing and they can phrase it in the wrong way. but they, you know, this that's that's latin culture and you should just respect them. and look, it's fine to do a side debate about whether that's just or will move on or not. but sadly will move on to times. eddie and to the next the times. eddie and we need more doctors. so what could possibly be stopping us now? well, british students locked our new medical locked out of our new medical schools . there's not a lot of schools. there's not a lot of fun in this world because what they need is just you need a lot of nurses and like brunel university, the first university in a country to launch medical training overseas students only the government of backed out of funding british students who want to go into this profession. and it just shows a total lack of on the standing and direction because the exact thing that we needin because the exact thing that we need in this country that we've

undervalued education and our young for it since i was a kid i think i was one of the last people at my tech. i went to watford tech to get actually a grant to go to university a second, just started making people pay for their own education. that's a massive backwards step . and universities backwards step. and universities have always done well out of international students. yeah yeah, yeah. but it shouldn't be at the expense of allowing you know, i want you to take up those opportunities as well. yeah i mean, this is shortsighted, isn't it? because you say elsewhere in every newspaper there will be a thing saying , well, we need to start saying, well, we need to start training more doctors, so why can't they spot the overlap when we see , say, short we can easily see, say, short sighted the lack opticians sighted is the lack of opticians . know , you go boom, boom, . you know, you go boom, boom, boom . it's for you. charity. boom. it's for you. charity. yeah. thanks for coming. thanks, rachel. fish try to fish , but no rachel. fish try to fish, but no , you look, it's a radical this idea. anybody who came up with this idea, we're essentially going to look out british

students from a british university . he really needs to university. he really needs to be holed up in front of the people running the university because it's simply not good enough. and they should have known that this would be a story because it's unfair. it's unfair. it's not right . the unfair. it's not right. the reality is universities should prioritise british students. now, that's not to say that you're going to exclude overseas students. of course , we want students. of course, we want overseas students to come here. of course, we want the brightest and best universities students to over and study all to come over and study all universities and to be quite honest, they also fund the university , but it can't be at university, but it can't be at the expense of british students. so they gain. there's an overshoot funding in overshoot as funding in universities as as universities and as soon as you get into downward spiral , get into that downward spiral, then unfortunately where then this is unfortunately where you end up just for balanced . i you end up just for balanced. i will say you can, if you want to become a doctor, just go online. and there's some places and there's some online places that degree, i think. that give you a degree, i think. dr. gillian got of dr. gillian mckee got one of those. yeah. maybe you go. those. yeah. so maybe you go. she call herself she doesn't call herself doctor

anymore , but, you know, the anymore, but, you know, the daily frances and what all daily mail, frances and what all the upset about the billionaires upset about now. so this is a story now. okay, so this is a story all about twitter . so amazon all about twitter. so amazon have confirmed they're going to start advertising twitter start advertising on twitter again to the tune of $100 million a year. elon musk says apple has also agreed to pay for promotion at the sites . again, promotion at the sites. again, that's because apple oh so amazon pulled their funding. so did apple pull their adverts on twitter because of musk's pro—free speech stance on twitter. whereas before twitter was very biased. we saw this from the hunter biden laptop story, which they suppressed, and then musk has actually now gone on twitter and released the story and released the details of the story about how people at twitter suppressed the hunter biden laptop story during the us election . essentially election. essentially effectively meddling in the elections and trying to improve the way a us election , possibly the way a us election, possibly the way a us election, possibly the most important election in the most important election in the world. when do you think

there's a difference from meddling in an election and just being a biased company? no because twitter has such a massive influence on if you've got people always say, yeah, but only 12% of people in the uk or in the us are actually on twitter, but unfortunately they are the most influential. they're the tastemakers, they're the journalists, they're the ceos, they are all on twitter. so if you were stopping, it's the most powerful and most influential people insist pretty from seeing this story and effectively stopping it from being spread. then you are having an effect and any of you nofice having an effect and any of you notice any difference on twitter since ellen's not really. except for all the people who profess to hate him or always on their having a go at him. but he's the simple thing with twitter. if you come off it, foolish people would come on important. that's really yeah it was really that simple. yeah it was a where ellen tweeted a thing where ellen tweeted about the fact that apple , i about the fact that apple, i think he phrased it a mostly stopped advertising on twitter. yeah and it was the split infinitive that bothered me more

over that mostly stuff. you mean stop? mostly you care about stop? mostly if you care about free speech. care about speech first, right? yeah to the telegraph, eddie. i thought telegraph, eddie. and i thought that marriage debates that same sex marriage debates were done with, but were over and done with, but that no that back clearly no disagreement. same sex marriage doesn't make you evil , says doesn't make you evil, says robin williams, former archbishop of canterbury. it makes you a bit stupid , in my makes you a bit stupid, in my opinion . it's funny, i've always opinion. it's funny, i've always had an issue with why when there's big debates and stuff , there's big debates and stuff, we go to the church like these learned gentlemen who believe in imagine every friends which they saw. they meant to be so educated . it's like, but i'm not educated. it's like, but i'm not a religious man in any way. i would never guess. it's just, why do we listen to these people ? truly love is more important than anything else. if people love each other, it doesn't matter how it manifests itself, surely in this he's doing a wreath lecture so i suppose. yeah, you're right. i suppose . yeah, you're right. i suppose. why would you ask a former

archbishop to do it? but for whatever that's, you whatever reason, that's, you know, prominent figure doing a wreath lecture . it's wreath lecture. it's an interesting time interesting point in this time of cancel disagreeing of cancel culture disagreeing should be but what a weird should be fine. but what a weird example to well, i mean , example to pick. well, i mean, look, if you are a religious person , if you're a religious person, if you're a religious christian, if you're a religious muslim jew , whatever it may muslim or jew, whatever it may be , you're not going to agree be, you're not going to agree with same sex marriage if you follow your holy book. i mean, that's just the way it is. and the reality is, i don't agree with it, but you should be allowed to say should be allowed to say you should be allowed to say you should be allowed to say if is your allowed to say if that is your sincerely belief, then that sincerely held belief, then that is that's fine. but is fine. yes, that's fine. but if just it's not something that you can just impose on everybody else and say and people, even if they do this love is love, isn't it? yes. but it is not. but the wider point with that, that example, i think is a good thing to say in this time, where there's a lot of i mean, i don't even like using the phrase cancel culture. and it's a side debate about what that means. but there are some strong

ramifications if people disagree with instead of just with each other instead of just being to sit with idea being able to sit with the idea that not think exactly that we might not think exactly the thing something. if the same thing on something. if i to disagree with i find someone to disagree with me, i want to remove them from having say. it's hmm. we're having a say. it's hmm. we're going through controlling going through a very controlling time. through very time. we're going through a very controlling and i really, controlling time. and i really, really despair at the moment. we have to remember when, like, ten, 15 years ago, you used to go to a wedding and your uncle was and he used to drink a bit marching. he used to say something. everyone would ignore him. it'sjust something. everyone would ignore him. it's just uncle something. everyone would ignore him. it'sjust uncle ron something. everyone would ignore him. it's just uncle ron or why can we not just allow people to be wrong? can we just allow people to be wrong or to just disagree ? the problem. one of my disagree? the problem. one of my biggest problem is that this is how an issue disaffection a on the fire. anyone who's who is gay and can still go to the church and believe you can put a bible not just these i just struggle with that concept to start with. so this to me not to

be a concept that those people might be wrong, but you don't try and cancel them. yeah well, do you know. i don't know. it's i just struggle with the hope. anyone who's if anyone or anyone can believe in a book that says that how they feel about someone else evil. why would you believe in that? or would you believe all the christian and muslims and the jews switching off it just they just i'm not saying it. i'm not sending it wrong. i mean, when my day comes, all the sudden the doom . oh, yeah. so, sudden the doom. oh, yeah. so, are you all right? yeah at the end all that , it was end of all that, it was scientology. you got it? yeah. oh god. ending this section oh my god. ending this section with monday's daily mail. francis is a super francis and what is a super embassy ? and how do i smoke? one embassy? and how do i smoke? one guy that is a great joke. so and so it's all about iain duncan smith . he's getting very upset smith. he's getting very upset about apparently the chinese want to build a super embassy near the city of london. and he says this would be a ridiculous

decision for the government to allow this to happen. so michael michael gove in a sadiq khan discussing on the in the moment to have a six weeks window six week window in which to decide the verdict. but he's effectively saying in duncan smith that all relationships with china are not very good at the moment. they are very , very the moment. they are very, very tense. it would be a ridiculous choice to allow the chinese to build this super embassy . what build this super embassy. what we should be doing is taking a much harder line against china and saying to them that their behaviour when it comes to things like taiwan and their aggressive attitude to taiwan , aggressive attitude to taiwan, all their treatment of the weaker muslims within their own country is unacceptable. and actually we shouldn't be kowtowing and we kowtowing to them and we shouldn't allowing them shouldn't be allowing them to build a £255 million embassy, which, to be fair in london, will probably get you a bedsit . will probably get you a bedsit. see that? my question there is what estate agents sold them that. yeah, you know. yeah let's

it. let's not buy a deal. want to go to the uk, go to bed. wouldn't it maybe be easier? yeah, it's crazy. so clearly the idea. yeah. i mean , david idea. yeah. i mean, david cameron's golden era of relations with china very much over like rishi sunak's effectively said the same, saying it was naive . it feels saying it was naive. it feels like we're getting more sense in our security now . well, you our security now. well, you think so ? but then this pops his think so? but then this pops his head up. i mean, how often do my phoneis head up. i mean, how often do my phone is made in china? it can tell me what i'm thinking. so what's that's going to do in the middle london where my five middle of london where my five god knows what? yeah, it's a very, very strange decision. right. wrap of part right. let's wrap of this part that's this election . that's up for this election. join the final session join us for the final session with and drama with more meghan and harry drama . e.j. reiner giving mr. hancock a run for his money. a man who's really left football will take over life. we'll see you .

in two. welcome back to the final parts of headliners. tonight's editors go to the express. it's got a story about harry and meghan. it must be a day with a y in it. well, yes, it must be it. i never had a news. ursula express. harry and meghan's media boss quits just days before netflix series is due to air. mr. dion nee i think oprah pronounced that right. there's no quote from her. i have my opinions on meghan , which i'm opinions on meghan, which i'm not sure we're going to go down that well. safe space. i look at the relationship and i just think it's such a controlling relationship. one by one, people have left their company. archie bell or whatever it's called, and now it seems that just it's just they isolate themselves so much . but, you know, i look , much. but, you know, i look, harry, separate from his family, separate from his mates, moved halfway around the world from an outsider to say that that's quite a controlling relationship

there. i'm quite looking forward to seeing this because it fascinates me and they saying that apparently prince william and prince william and kate, a common name for some grief and that i mean, there's a few stories flying around about it. we won't go so, yeah, it's going to be interesting . yeah. this to be interesting. yeah. this float your boat as well. francis well, this what happens when well, this is what happens when you far your you punch too far above your level . this what it means you'll level. this what it means you'll be punching too high. my he's punching too high. he's too far out of his leg . he knows it out of his leg. he knows it makes him insecure, so he's making ridiculous decision of the decision in a the ridiculous decision in a desperate attempt to keep a should have gone down a notch a couple of notches. so i'm saying, don't someone who knew in leg then he wouldn't be in his leg then he wouldn't be doing these things. i would be doing these things. i would be doing of things and doing all of these things and more i had the chance with more if i had the chance with meghan. we just share meghan. so can we just share with yeah yeah. go it with you? yeah yeah. i'll go it all. do exactly what he's doing. he's human. him he's only human. give him a break. are you currently in a relationship? yes i am. did you punch up for this relationship?

are you with someone are you. are you with someone who's exactly on you by now? someone just serving a can of worms? i one of chloe's very quickly. yeah. so as a good my mind. jeff no said to me when always open for a man to he met my lady and then on his podcast when he interviewed me he said the words on says we're not going to talk about politics. let's talk about how your punching might work out. you go, well, you can't see this at home, but these legs, a backpack as moved to telegraph that francis and a female politician was dancing. who do we think we are ? finland. yes, exactly . it's are? finland. yes, exactly. it's angela rayner. did a dj. set and she did the classic in trance rave truck and she did it at a charity do by organised by andy burnham in greater manchester to raise money for rough sleepers for emergency bed and food . over the christmas and food. over the christmas penod and food. over the christmas period they raised a total of

about period they raised a total of abou t £9,000 so far. people are about £9,000 so far. people are saying that it's a sign that politicians aren't being serious to really understand the hoo ha. she's just having fun . what's she's just having fun. what's the problem? yeah i'm on a night out. we were going out. don't like that. we can see her moves now. normally arms in the air like that. the first seven points in, isn't it? when i start doing that. yeah. oh. leaning forward due to instability. it's fair but yeah. i mean what's the difference between that and vince cable on strictly there is no difference good on a good on she's got there is punching up voice on it i'd rather see the stockbroker yes dolce seven a laugh on stage just make any noise i just. yeah okay so we went to the summit at one school where kids won't be learning about their number ones, and then number twos. yeah.in ones, and then number twos. yeah. in the sun were furious as schools that banned kitchen got in toilet during class. it's in the toilet during class. it's appalling. furious mums here at rolling it is deprive rolling sign it is deprive students their rights .

students of their human rights. it's it's about a washing it's no bad it's about a washing it's about as someone who soiled himself in assembly aged six mind you know it is you can't stop kids getting up, down and going up and around about the school day. you've got lessons for you. lessons. so in our but it's a mum of five who's really kicking off with this and as artists can help from yeah that's a lot of washing she's going to have to deal with. yeah. they as a former yeah. they look as a former teacher, cannot have kids teacher, you cannot have kids getting and going. i was getting up and going. i was going to say willy nilly that is thatis going to say willy nilly that is that is wrong thing to say that is the wrong thing to say that is the wrong thing to say that a terrible but you that is a terrible pun. but you just kids getting up just can't have kids getting up and leaving going to the and leaving and going to the toilet they want. toilet whenever they want. it doesn't in context of a doesn't work in the context of a lesson. you have a chemistry degree if are teaching a degree. so if you are teaching a chemistry lesson and a kid walks up, wash , you're explaining a up, wash, you're explaining a chemical reaction or how a chemical reaction or how a chemical reaction or how a chemical reaction works . i come chemical reaction works. i come back, you've set the main task . back, you've set the main task. they're going to know what's they're not going to know what's going going to going on. they're not going to be to access task be able to access the task because out that they

because it turns out that they were the classroom for were outside the classroom for that. it doesn't i know that. so it doesn't work. i know what saying. will say what you're saying. i will say with chemistry, get if with chemistry, if you get if you're doing a titration, you know, those long burette swing, turn tap on and the turn the little tap on and the water i to water trickles out. i date to not need to yeah but you also in chemistry you them two chemistry you got them two bottles in one of them. bottles just in one of them. yeah when put it in your yeah yeah. when i put it in your bag take it about, get below the terraces again. it in fact we were talking about five year olds mean so far olds or something. i mean so far my were young and he's my kids were young and he's eight months nearly nine eight months old, nearly nine months is not very good months old. he is not very good at the toilet. at not going to the toilet. yeah. i'm hoping improves but i mean it's five still seems quite young to have been to hold young to have been able to hold it a whole lesson. well it through a whole lesson. well so different and so that's, that's different and different in the case of kindergarten says different roles whatever else and you've got to remember as that got to remember as well that kindergarten afundamentally kindergarten is a fundamentally different teaching different way of teaching children near as children is nowhere near as structured as teaching 14 year olds in this in this process. teaching is not not it's not my back and forth i'm saying exactly daily mail. now eddie and fermented food is good for

you is good. but you know, i think that's me. yeah so yeah it is. it's the food. i've got loads in the fridge. yeah. so fermented food is apparently good for you. so it would, it is very, very good for is gut health because one of the problems is our gut health is very, very poor because we eat a lot of processed food, but also when we have things like antibiotics forth . antibiotics and so, so forth. but also if you are suffering from stress because it deprives the blood flow, which means it's not able to properly digest which then means that you're not in gaining nutrients into the body. in gaining nutrients into the body . so what it's really good body. so what it's really good for is getting some really strong, powerful gut health in there so that you can digest better and live a better life. it still takes horrible, though. yeah, it does mean i'm trying to sell it. i'm trying to sell and i'm not losing. sell it. i'm trying to sell and i'm not losing . you know, it's i'm not losing. you know, it's sauerkraut. no frankly. less story tonight than eddie and the son has the news of a man who just needs another hobby. does it? does it? i'm england's most loyal fan. i've watched friends
