stonewalling the most. not when you try and convince the child transition. that's the trying to stymie any talks the with the people going on strike and this is because they don't want give them more money and it's obvious but they don't want to give them more money because although we've got so many public sector workers in the uk, if pay them all more, we'll create a wage price and we'll end price spiral and we'll end up like, why and we know like, why germany? and we know how ended . okay, it's how that ended. okay, it's not like took catastrophizing like you took catastrophizing like you took catastrophizing like steve they like that but think steve they do they did a cost do more money. they did a cost of living crisis and they're not particularly paid a lot of particularly well paid a lot of these people they've had these people and they've had many not receiving pay many years of not receiving pay rises keep up with rises that keep up with inflation. long inflation. so that's how long you go back, whether it be five or ten you can make the or ten years, you can make the argument they've had a pay argument that they've had a pay cut effective. yes you have however mean you to however i mean all you need to do with strike is getting do with the strike is getting newspapers. actually newspapers. you don't actually have people's have to ruin people's days. maybe being bit petty maybe just being a bit petty because i can't use the train. but it would be possible the teachers on strike on teachers went on strike on a houday teachers went on strike on a holiday day. it would be all over newspapers would over the newspapers you would

gain same coverage. you gain just the same coverage. you gain just the same coverage. you gain people. yeah gain the support of people. yeah and sitting and then we'd all be sitting here going, can't believe this here going, i can't believe this government sitting down here going, i can't believe this gothe|ment sitting down here going, i can't believe this gothe table sitting down here going, i can't believe this gothe table doing sitting down here going, i can't believe this gothe table doing something.n here going, i can't believe this gothe table doing something. it at the table doing something. it feels of these papers, feels like some of these papers, they all their reason, they all have their own reason, have arguments, just have low fruit arguments, just pack all that. what was the one that we saw about how it's attacking our children? again, of newspapers of course, these newspapers are going hanging going along with low hanging fruit. best you can fruit. that's the best you can it. i see that as somebody it. and i see that as somebody six foot get good six foot six, you get the good fruit get all the fruit that you get all the fruit. but the point surely to be disrupted so that we put pressure on the government. and i assure people i think it's to assure people that actually need sue that he actually you need to sue you better better pay you better you better pay us. but we need i mean, but do we need them? i mean, some the people are going on some of the people are going on strike space agency. so strike the uk space agency. so oh i'm not going to be able oh no, i'm not going to be able to go to mars tomorrow and the land are going to land registry are going to strike. going strike. oh, who's going to register the land you know, these are people do you know, do we them the first place? we even them in the first place? physiotherapists going on strike, going strike, you know. so i'm going to till thursday to get my to wait till thursday to get my daughter. mean, don't have daughter. i mean, you don't have to three years on the to wait for three years on the nhs scene by a physio anyway.

all won't be done in all all of it won't be done in all of will be massively overdue of it will be massively overdue because. this because. as you say, this happened were kids and happened when we were kids and now it's just in the front pages when old. old yeah. when we're old. old dads. yeah. and the road and kicking it down the road doesn't people forget about doesn't mean people forget about it. makes them angrier. so it. it makes them angrier. so it's pointless. and just one more the guardian, more story from the guardian, because the on the because it's the main on the front the guardian, front cover of the guardian, which this long deceased which is this long deceased bird. they're bird. yeah, yeah. so they're going bring dodo back to going to bring the dodo back to life. jurassic park do to life. does jurassic park do to ask park? this they're ask park? so this is they're going make massive dodo. going to make a massive dodo. going to there's going to eat somebody on a toilet in somebody who's on a toilet in a little well don't think little cubicle. well don't think dodos with i mean. dodos with that big with i mean. i life size one in the i saw a life size one in the natural museum and then natural history museum and then they'd turkey plump plump they'd like turkey plump plump chickens. yeah, like a like a turkey, i think. and apparently they're eating the they're the good eating and the related to the pigeon as well. yes. status. yes. which lowers their status. does one like. oh does i read that one like. oh that's oh they're bringing that's not. oh they're bringing these back, that's how they recreating it. and the recreating it. and because the genome the dna is similar to the pigeon. yeah the pigeon doesn't look like a dodos. so look anything like a dodos. so what's to look what's this thing going to look like? don't know. i the like? i don't know. i think the existing bird, should bring existing bird, they should bring back barbara windsor.

back to life is barbara windsor. i'd that steve do i'd like to see that steve do you have any thoughts on the dodo?i you have any thoughts on the dodo? i mean, i yeah, i, i think, you know, i worry about scientists god always, scientists playing god always, but i feel antibiotics and but i feel that antibiotics and everything about everything really but what about this? creature this? what about this creature would you like to see them roaming streets? i've roaming the streets? well, i've made this age without made it to this age without there around, i'm there dodos around, so i'm absolutely it. so absolutely fine with it. so i don't think we gain much. i don't think we gain much. i don't think we gain much. i don't think the one don't think we were. the one thing holding us back is that lost the dodo. the dodo gains quite a well, because quite a lot. well, no, because it's dodo it's some weird pigeon. dodo thing. what you said. you thing. i know what you said. you went to the museum. you saw a life size one. we don't really know but especially work out from mean it's not from the bones mean it's not going 20 times bigger going to be 26, 20 times bigger than next dodos, aren't than it's next in dodos, aren't they? this is they off they? i mean, this is they off in the 17th century and that's some people got hold of them before in some before they you mix in some crispr thing you crispr stuff the next thing you know strange if we find know it'll be strange if we find out that they actually are feral that sites and then that kill on sites and then looks idiot that's looks like an idiot and that's way back. that's we way back. maybe that's why we killed first place. killed them in the first place. maybe. run maybe. maybe it's a close run thing humanity, dodos. thing between humanity, dodos. they're really dangerous. yeah well, know, well, it's possible. you know, well, it's possible. you know, we start mixing up the

we got to start mixing up the dna various creatures. that's dna of various creatures. that's what park. what they did in jurassic park. those things. frogs, and that's how managed to reproduce how they managed to reproduce without all without one when they're all girls. dna. girls. and that's mixing dna. and in club and that's why i'm so in club 1830 holidays as well. does, 1830 holidays as well. it does, but talk but we're not going to talk about that. we're going move about that. we're going to move on next cover. and on to the next front cover. and this wednesday's telegraph, steve with? steve what are they going with? well, they've little well, they've got a little update strike saying update about their strike saying that some teachers could be paid. read the and paid. but you read the story and it's about a school is it's more about if a school is closed then the teachers closed down, then the teachers couldn't day. couldn't worked that day. there's no evidence there's actually no evidence anyone will be paid, there's anyone will be paid, but there's just area about just a bit of grey area about whether happen. but of whether it could happen. but of course, it's the piece course, it's exactly the piece of information people. of information to rile people. yes, strike, you yes, if you're on strike, you don't the don't want to get paid. the scarier this story. half scarier part is this story. half of every day diet add of foods in every day diet add to risk of cancer bad for us brits because we eat this kind of foods increase risk of foods that increase your risk of cancer on the list breakfast cereals that one cereals thought that was one of the healthy options but this is my this kind of my problem with this kind of story every story steve is that every of months get story about months you get a story about something carcinogenic or something else carcinogenic or something else that's terrible for. the next for. and then the next month they is really they say actually is really important. you have eat important. you have to eat these. avoid getting cancer. they they they never really know, but they only flop red wine and

only flip flop red wine and chocolate, eggs. chocolate, to be fair. and eggs. eggsin chocolate, to be fair. and eggs. eggs in place. well eggs , i find eggs in place. well eggs, i find that's okay. but what they call ultra processed foods never been on the good list. it's just that we're more we're finding out is it's linked to cancer more strongly than thought. yeah, no one's sitting down in a piece of ham that's got the shape a ham that's got the shape of a bear's. interesting. is bear's. and interesting. this is the good stuff. i'm just like, wow, that's amazing. of wow, that's amazing. slice of a bears . i'm thinking, bears piece. i'm thinking, anyway let's move on now to wednesday's they've come very much the matt hancock thing well he's been in the press for a while so this is quite a big get. and he likes being in the press. matt hancock was press. so matt hancock was was on tv again being grilled by kate garraway this time he said they didn't go on i'm a celebrity get me out of here for the for the money even though he got 320 grand, is quite got 320 grand, which is quite a lot money, he gave a charity. lot of money, he gave a charity. well, to well, he gave ten grand to charity. know a charity. so you know a percentage . it quite a small percentage. it quite a small percentage. it quite a small percentage. but yeah so he said he do the money. he didn't do it for the money. i it to show who am so i'm not it to show who i am so i'm not i'm narcissistic is what see in

there the only people pretend they're not doing things for money absolutely fine do money it's absolutely fine do things that's the things for money that's the bafis things for money that's the basis capitalist basis of western capitalist democracies , people doing things basis of western capitalist dermoney. s , people doing things basis of western capitalist dermoney. you're ple doing things basis of western capitalist dermoney. you're ple mp ng things basis of western capitalist dermoney. you're ple mp ,g things basis of western capitalist dermoney. you're ple mp , you're s for money. you're an mp, you're going into a jungle for mp get paid as well. and obviously he's doing he's going into the doing it. he's going into the jungle money. really jungle to get money. he really wanted awareness or wanted to raise awareness or something, big these in something, write big these in the guardian or so i think he was to raise was going there to raise awareness his political view awareness of his political view of yeah well, what do of himself. yeah well, what do you think? well, some of the you think? well, he some of the money he gave to the british association and some of the thank you letters he got if need to finish that. but now i think because it was all about him it would have been better if he was only saying i'm going to get to keep this job. so i'm doing the tv while i can clearly. he was on his way out of politics, but that would required that would have required a little honesty. and little bit of honesty. and i don't who's these don't know who's advising these people. with people. this is up there with a prince andrew if thinking, i know i'll go on tv and ask me questions the me questions and then the like me know seen before, but know we've seen you before, but also he must known that kate garraway to grill him

garraway going to grill him about had about the affair that he had with aide. and apparently she repeatedly him whether repeatedly asked him whether he'd broken the he he'd broken the law and he denied i that's fair denied i think that's fair enough and also kate garraway is you an example, somebody you know, an example, somebody who potentially from who suffered or potentially from from policies , her husband from his policies, her husband can contracted covid and is still is still recovering well. do you begrudge matt hancock his do you think that was no , no. i do you think that was no, no. i was actually relieved to see that, you know, nmps were acting like normal people during covid, just everybody else should like normal people during covid, just beenferybody else should like normal people during covid, just been .�*rybody else should like normal people during covid, just been . but»dy else should like normal people during covid, just been . but it! else should like normal people during covid, just been . but it! elsireallyld like normal people during covid, just been . but it! elsireally the have been. but it was really the hypocrisy, yeah, hypocrisy, wasn't it? yeah, i was people. they had was the point people. they had to hypocritical because we're to be hypocritical because we're a of absolute who, a nation of absolute babies who, need to hold need the government to hold their us and wipe their hands for us and wipe bums. to this bums. you come back to this thing quite i think thing quite lot there. i think you trust humanity i don't you don't trust humanity i don't trust why trust the government. that's why i them. okay. right. i don't trust them. okay. right. well, move the well, we're going to move to the daily always daily star. they always throw a bit curve ball where they bit of a curve ball where they come with is a norfolk bird charity twitter charity that had its twitter account in account frozen. funny in general, because the word twitter but now no one really knows for sure why the account was automated was frozen because the automated appued was frozen because the automated applied anything their applied say anything but their suspicion is because they were

doing birdwatch thing and doing like a birdwatch thing and tweeting the phrase woodcock so often that it might have some sort of filter. and i really sort of a filter. and i really doubt that. well mean. yeah i've been tweeting about matt hancock and that's not banned me and i've using some harsh words after name. but yeah, after his name. but yeah, i don't know if i've never tried to tweet lots of things. what? cox if we'll find out what happens , all of the great start happens, all of the great start being isn't also being spotted. this isn't also a front cover story, isn't it ? front cover story, isn't it? yeah, this is blatantly made up. although i mean, there have been instances like scunthorpe was instances like so scunthorpe was marking itself as a tourist. not blocked by search engines because it contains when we don't need to spell that out . don't need to spell that out. no, we don't. i think they can work that out but that's this does strike me as a bit of a non although twitter does some strange things, they once i saw someone for someone get banned for misgendering himself misgendering themself by himself herself surely something that where the first person you pronoun is ie isn't it myself i have no idea. but i do recall

that this actually happened anyway. that is all we've got time for. for the being. but do join us after the break and have a look inside these papers. you in a couple of minutes.

welcome back to headliners first look at wednesday's newspapers i'm andrew doyle and i'm joined tonight by leo kearse s and steve and alan. so let's begin with wednesday's mail britain's not doing so well there. well is it i mean this is a projection according to the imf is a global financial institution and the probability is freedom and democracy . britain is projected democracy. britain is projected to be the only g7 economy, the only economy that's going to go into reverse year with even russia doing better. so into reverse year with even russia doing better . so the into reverse year with even russia doing better. so the imf says the british will shrink by four points, 6% in 2023, but they've been wrong about this

before. so they predict to be go into recession last year in 2022. and we didn't we managed to keep our heads above the water. so jacob rees—mogg is has come out and said you when come out and said you know when were they've been were the last rate they've been wrong for two years why do we wait start trusting now wait we start trusting them now we uk had the we actually the uk had the fastest growth the g7 last year at 4.1. so even , you know, a at 4.1. so even, you know, a small contraction might just balancing that out. we're still we're still number one, steve. jacob rees—mogg has a point as economists are pretty much wrong with their predictions that the only thing they can predict is that they're going to be wrong they're what they're going to bring. but what he's not doing is addressing of the they contribute the issues that they contribute towards about towards that. worry about lack of does the of growth. what he does is the opposite of appeal to opposite of an appeal to authority. as they authority. as soon as they say like but that group. now like oh. but that group. now previously to this they downgraded our the government was perfectly to say well the imf actually predicts we're going to be doing alright. yeah, they were saying the they were saying that all the time, as the numbers time, but as soon as the numbers you them, oh, what you don't like them, oh, what the know the price the imf know about the price eggs for 2024 they've

eggs now for 2024 they've predicted our growth be predicted our growth will be nought bet you all nought point nine. i bet you all of they stop moaning of a sudden they stop moaning about the imf that and so they're pretty at they're pretty good at this. i think chancellor did in think the chancellor did in fact, today fact, quote the imf today favourably when supported favourably when it's supported mean that on mean this the point is that on either tend to support either side tend to support statistics that support worldview. this is worldview. right. i mean this is pretty standard. but you're right. of the has right. the chief of the imf has outlined specifically the reasons the uk might be reasons why the uk might be flagging behind. he's talking about natural gas . about exposure to natural gas. the energy prices in the uk employment levels have not recovered, although you mean we're something ? we're huffing it or something? no, could be that as no, no, that could be that as well but also, of course, inflation. but should it be inflation. but why should it be why kind of concern why should that kind of concern be british? because why should that kind of concern be this british? because why should that kind of concern be this is british? because why should that kind of concern be this is biaish? because why should that kind of concern be this is bia globalcause it's this is really a global problem. britain's problem. well guess britain's very much of service very much a sort of service oriented and we don't have resource base or the manufacturing . the other manufacturing. the other countries such as germany . you countries such as germany. you don't think it's a the tories not being able to handle them. the economy particularly well. there may be some of that. well. yeah. mean the tories are yeah. i mean the tories are tired, they've been in power . tired, they've been in power. how long it's been. it's been a long years. 13 years. so

long 12 years. 13 years. so yeah.i long 12 years. 13 years. so yeah. i mean they're tired , kind yeah. i mean they're tired, kind of lazy and sloppy and maybe it's of lazy and sloppy and maybe wsfime of lazy and sloppy and maybe it's time for time for. of lazy and sloppy and maybe it's time for time for . a short, it's time for time for. a short, sharp shock of labour. remind us how bad things can really be . how bad things can really be. okay. going to move on okay. we're going to move on that wednesday's guardian. that to wednesday's guardian. another , britain's another problem with, britain's growth, yes, very true growth, steve. yes, very true obesity this time they've done a study that's linked high obesity levels with lower productivity . levels with lower productivity. okay. well, surely no one's surprised by this. when i go through my facetimes , i can't through my facetimes, i can't even bothered to my even be bothered to tie my shoelaces. makes so shoelaces. so yeah, it makes so much we need much sense. do we need science to this together. didn't to put this together. i didn't realise they're realise the extent. they're saying two thirds of adults saying that two thirds of adults in excess in the uk are carrying excess weight. yeah is. there's weight. yeah. yeah is. there's a lot of people . there are many. lot of people. there are many. there are a lot of fabulous. amazingly, they said . so the amazingly, they said. so the place that's got the individual gdp is in the place that's most prosperous is slow in berkshire. and has one of the lowest rates of obesity and people being overweight 61.9. so it's still you two thirds of people. almost two thirds of people there are the police . where people are the the police. where people are the least far are still sex madness.

very nothing but tens of £1,000,000 hmrc fine. but as you say that is probably doesn't count because it's a personal tax issue. yeah. although he was chancellor i never know. and we're going to have to wednesday telegraph live this service is very sad. yeah. so a young couple iran have been jailed for ten years just for slow dancing in public. so they've been convicted of encouraging corruption and public prostitution as a video of them dancing of the azadi tower went viral . this is obviously to do viral. this is obviously to do with the protests since masami was killed by police for not wearing a so they've done is the popular bloggers in iran and the woman didn't wear a headscarf and she's joined apparently over 14,000 people have been arrested and some of them have been executed as well. and what's interesting is they continue be the state is continually punishing beating arresting people for all this kind of behaviour. they're not stopping . they really are. . yeah you know they really are. i that there's i don't think that there's that level fear that the regime level of fear that the regime required before. yeah yeah. and

the sort of stuck where the regime sort of stuck where you it was fewer people you know, if it was fewer people they know, just they could maybe, you know, just execute you know execute them which you know they have these horrific have done these horrific crackdowns before . but yeah, so crackdowns before. but yeah, so the both the man and the women in this couple have been sent to jail. if only it was scotland, they could go the same jail man could just identify and like the way topical stories way you in other topical stories very clever steve have any very clever steve you have any thoughts this oh eventually thoughts this oh just eventually the dancers will win think the dancers will win i think this is eventually with enough time enough people they not time enough people have they not seen know this is seen do they don't know this is it's going to go so you don't see an afghanistan i'm see an afghanistan i mean i'm not it's a film it's not not saying it's a film it's not yeah. it shouldn't. kevin bacon i'd kevin bacon be i'd wish that. kevin bacon be anybody you're right now anybody when you're right now mean it's funny can't help mean if it's funny can't help that after the break. steve will be exploring the free utopia thatis be exploring the free utopia that is in vancouver. leo will be discovering to improve your concentration . and i will be concentration. and i will be lamenting the clothes of the world's first vagina museum here in a minute .

welcome back to is your first look at wednesday's newspapers . look at wednesday's newspapers. let's get back into it with this one on salman rushdie from wednesday's guardian the year we hear that salman rushdie will not promote his new novel, hear that salman rushdie will not promote his new novel , the not promote his new novel, the attack. and it's not surprising news, is it? really? i don't think i would it's thoroughly understandable risk being attacked again or send out a release and a promoted tweet . release and a promoted tweet. but it's wrong that he should have to make that decision. this is we're the legacy of is we're still in the legacy of that the when that terrible the time when he there talk artistic there to talk about artistic freedom the insult freedom adds irony to the insult and the injury. but this is exactly what terrorism to achieve i suppose to people to change their good actions that they would do and it's achieved in that case. yeah, but it's understandable that it has because none of us here would think loud. let's go and do that

well, i mean, you know, obviously an absolutely horrific attack. when the attack. i do think when the fatwa originally issued in fatwa was originally issued in 1998, 89, late eighties , anyway, 1998, 89, late eighties, anyway, you think there was you know, i think there was a collective failure among western countries and, western governments and politicians and media really stand up against media to really stand up against and this instead we had and say, no, this instead we had debates about whether it was okay , that a death okay, that he'd had a death sentence and it was his fault. and plenty of people came out, commentators of left wing commentators, came out commentators, stephens came out and criticised him for writing it. it was it was seen as a sort of a will, you know, it wasn't seen one sided thing. there's seen as one sided thing. there's should yeah, we seen as one sided thing. there's sh(longer yeah, we seen as one sided thing. there's sh(longer have yeah, we seen as one sided thing. there's sh(longer have freedom (eah, we seen as one sided thing. there's sh(longer have freedom of h, we no longer have freedom of speech.i no longer have freedom of speech. i think they have made his next book. you should have secretly a koran secretly just made a koran and then extremists it, then when islamic extremists it, they'd have to kill themselves . they'd have to kill themselves. i mean that would have been that's like chess. yeah, right there. it is interesting, there. but it is interesting, though, because that book the satanic verses, it wouldn't be written and it wouldn't be written today and it wouldn't be published have one in published. and you have one in that as well . it wasn't that sense as well. it wasn't even like to muslims until somebody picked picked out bits

and reinterpreted reinterpreted it. so you know it was it was really unfair and no. so everybody's going to tiptoe around and make sure nothing the they see do could possibly offend. well okay so like you say the terrorists win sometimes , which is not good. anyway, i'm going to move to on wednesday's mail man the cloth, mail and a man the cloth, unfortunately , cloth is made out unfortunately, cloth is made out of swastika flags . yeah. so of swastika flags. yeah. so church of england vicar. they've had a they would agree he's been found guilty of anti—semitic activity after sharing an article peddling the conspiracy theory that israel was for the 911 terror attacks. so he's been barred from ministry for 12 years. reverend dr. stephen sizer is 60 barred from being a minister, though shalt not minister. so he's now going to be running for the leader of the labour instead . but he says you labour instead. but he says you tried to make excuses his behaviour. he also met with the senior hezbollah commander and there was once the church of

england this he met with a senior hezbollah commander, sheikh kook and a secret location near tyre, lebanon however, he claimed he did not instigate the meeting he just went to a secret location in lebanon by accident because meant to do that they meant to run tumblers. yeah steve, it's dodgy. run tumblers. yeah steve, it's dodgy . hell, run tumblers. yeah steve, it's dodgy. hell, i'm. oh, yeah. some of the articles he's linking to are just things like, well, this one's pretty clear . 911 israel one's pretty clear. 911 israel did it. that's nice that's the title of the article . and he title of the article. and he said, oh, a lot to think about here, but it raises so many questions. it raises your suitability to be a vicar. i'd and this is another thing that social media has done. the internet has given us the ability to find out that people think things like this. in the old he just would been old days he just would have been chatting the chatting to himself in the corner whereas corner of church. yeah. whereas now we find out, which i suppose is that we shine light. i is good, that we shine light. i do love the fact that he came with a classic argument saying it people, it wasn't aimed at the people, the it was aimed the jewish people, it was aimed at israel. as at the state of israel. and as you say, two paragraphs he you say, two paragraphs later he was all questions

was meeting with all questions drilled hezbollah about how not got a problem with the people. yeah, he's to wiping israel and met with jeremy corbyn is possibly even worse it's so bizarre we're going to bizarre anyway we're going to move on to wednesday's times and steve, when you booking your steve, when are you booking your flights? have you got flights? vancouver. have you got your spoons? yeah, well, your own spoons? yeah, well, it's heroin for free all over it's a heroin for free all over there. that's what says in there. that's what it says in brochure. way there of. brochure. it's way there of. well i don't know though you know the way that it's going in british they're british columbia, they're introducing just a decriminalise possession hard drugs. and possession of hard drugs. and he said officers handing out said police officers handing out cards information on how cards with information on how you access help. i don't you could access help. i don't think that will work as much as i understand the concept here, let's just compare to let's just compare it to smoking, which is nowhere near as woman time was as addictive. woman time i was not certainly not hard drug the packets pictures on the packets have pictures on the side tell it's for side of it tell me it's bad for you and the idea of getting you and so the idea of getting a piece a drug and piece of paper and a drug and the so is this going to be the wins so is this going to be implemented because they're literally going to go around handing leaflets, seeing handing out leaflets, seeing someone alley, someone shooting in an alley, and they'll up and have you and they'll go up and have you considered this and hand them a pamphlet yeah. and will

pamphlet yeah. and that will work well this i mean work with it. well this i mean it seems they seem to be it seems to be they seem to be gnpped it seems to be they seem to be gripped a sorry gripped this a policy sorry to use the word vote, but officials in columbia say it's in british columbia say it's time the shame time to remove the shame and stigma from drug addiction. like ignore is ignore the shame. the stigma is the stopping people the one thing stopping people taking these drugs. that's what keeps off heroin in keeps kids off heroin in scotland because it's seen as a dirty and what we've got. dirty drug and what we've got. no the deaths are no you a lot of the deaths are due fentanyl due to fentanyl which is manufactured china and they manufactured in china and they fled west like a reverse of fled the west like a reverse of the opium wars. you saw death and degeneracy amongst west like they do with tiktok. is there not though, that if not case, though, here, that if you legalise decriminalise all these drugs, you take away the power from the criminal gangs, you target you won't have gangs target taking young people, pushing drugs them get drugs onto them so they get addicted first place. leo addicted in the first place. leo you just laughing? i mean, it's not reasonable. well, liquid legal with some opioids in america pharmaceutical america with pharmaceutical companies. so people can just get a prescription their doctors to the pharmacies that will write you prescription the write you a prescription the pharmacy it what you've got pharmacy sell it what you've got just cleaner drug just a slightly cleaner drug deaung just a slightly cleaner drug dealing then but you also get of

the dangers of the drugs that sort of sophisticated with other drugs with sort drugs and cut with sort of dangerous substances drugs dangerous substances and drugs need be cut with anything to need to be cut with anything to be i'm saying be harmful. no, i'm not saying they're what i'm they're not harmful. what i'm saying can be saying is that they can be actually with saying is that they can be actua|of with saying is that they can be actua|of the with saying is that they can be actua|of the dodgy with saying is that they can be actua|of the dodgy stuff with saying is that they can be actua|of the dodgy stuff that/ith some of the dodgy stuff that gets. i'm just saying yeah, gets. but i'm just saying yeah, there complete there are arguments for complete legalisation. as a means to legalisation. yeah as a means to actually you know it means well maybe that those make the choice are the ones maybe for some drug like cocaine . i think there's like cocaine. i think there's good arguments you know people will tell you do the floods, there increased there will be increased productivity for a few days and we decrease progress. productivity but, you know, i think other drugs like heroin, i can't really see much of an argument. steve mean, you argument. steve i mean, you know. well, an argument know. well, there is an argument that and the link that you try and break the link between crime and between the world of crime and the however, it doesn't the drugs. however, it doesn't you don't break it fully in parts america where can parts of america where you can legally there's still legally cannabis there's still a black market cannabis like i know a guy can get you some moonshine as as alcohol's legal people are still you know we have you a time warp to the 1920s but i think the point is

just because you do a legal route you don't therefore get rid of fully the illegal route, you weaken the link, but it's still there. but then prohibition did prohibition would suggest it did work. it did weaken work. in fact, it did weaken that sufficiently to wipe that link sufficiently to wipe the criminal gangs because yeah . i've not seen any films . was i've not seen any films where criminal where there's criminal gangs brewing you know the brewing their own you know the press prohibition that's press during prohibition that's the the it the point. that's the thing. it was was was illegal. so was it was it was illegal. so gangs sort of stepped in and then when becomes becomes then when it becomes becomes legal as if no one legal and it's not as if no one ever brews their own alcohol as much illegal. and also much as it be illegal. and also prohibition and those criminal much as it be illegal. and also prohib provide! those criminal much as it be illegal. and also prohib provide a:hose criminal much as it be illegal. and also prohib provide a vital criminal much as it be illegal. and also prohib provide a vital servicel much as it be illegal. and also prohib provide a vital service to gangs provide a vital service to society by employment, to people who might not be able to employment else employment somewhere else because criminal. because they've got a criminal. jemmy had no jemmy fingers would have had no other exactly, but with a other word exactly, but with a name that, other work name like that, what other work could well later on? could he get? well later on? this be could be this could be a could be a seamstress. there is good fingers. we're to find fingers. well we're to find out in moment. anyway, in a moment. anyway, the telegraph turns out telegraph now leo it turns out some blows to the head are bad . some blows to the head are bad. yeah. so three mild blows to the head are linked. life long damage to a attention span. so they've done analysis this

people in the people if people have received three to the most three mild blows to the head i can read this if people received three mild traumatic brain at any point in their life, they perform more poorly on cognitive than people who've never had a big to the head. we need to study for the so this is well but i mean three i mean most people have been out a few few times . so people have been out a few few times. so what we're not one i'd say it might be from your so i didn't start super rugby. i've been concussed many times . you been concussed many times. you saying that i would be much cleverer if i hadn't been concussed? yeah annoying? yeah, exactly. can i sue? they've really fallen over . exactly. can i sue? they've really fallen over. i played rugby. or when you're a kid , rugby. or when you're a kid, you're constantly whacking your head against floor, being head against the floor, being whacked with whacked round the head with a brick never knocked brick and you never been knocked out. have out. i feel i've should have some make on brain in some sort of make on brain in comparison we can comparison to you too. we can sort in the bridge a chair. sort do in the bridge a chair. we can be sports bodies are being told to council players because obviously this is where i'm from affiliations risk i'm from affiliations and risk the players . okay but we're the players. okay but we're going to move on to the metro

now devastating story here on why son are now ruined. why my son are now ruined. london's vagina museum has closed its doors front doors. i presume it's in bethnal green east . don't worry, there are east. don't worry, there are more jokes like that coming up with you will hate that i'm doing now it's in bethnal green east london and it has to find a new home because they're no longer allowed to use. the actual building is described in the as a museum dedicated to and this symbol used this is the only symbol used using technical terms using the technical terms vaginas female vaginas of all of us female anatomy. even anatomy. there was even a section for clitoris, but section for the clitoris, but when i went round there , this is when i went round there, this is transphobic. find it? yeah i knew that was you because everyone saw that joke . i mean, everyone saw that joke. i mean, there's one more, but so it started off as a series of pop up events. clearly sounds like a different kind museum, but it will continue to operate the digital , if there's digital world now, if there's one thing the internet service as well, it's pictures of their main material. well, that's an image from the vagina museum. i mean, the thing is , was it was mean, the thing is, was it was in a property, which means

wasn't a permanent thing anyway. that's why they don't have a proper sealing and that is why that will be why i went to social is the worst museum yet to take over dinner several times and then play with this you really need to have it before it would happen. discuss this. but although the saying that the vagina museum got in trouble a ago didn't it. trouble a while ago didn't it. because was to talking because it was to talking wouldn't use the word woman, it was talking people was talking about people with vaginas. even vaginas. oh really. so even the vaginas. oh really. so even the vagina couple vagina museum is a couple of women people with the vagina women is people with the vagina museum vagina . okay, great. museum with vagina. okay, great. that's enough of that. let's that's part three. join us in a second for raising emma watson. why horror movies are good for you . a unique valentine's day you. a unique valentine's day gift . see you in a minute.

welcome back to headliners. your first look at wednesday's

newspapers going to kick this section off with wednesday's times and leo. is there a chance we're going to hear emma watson now support j.k. rowling ? now support j.k. rowling? possibly. you can hear anything you want. no, because we've got deep fakes. they can your face. they video , can do audio. they can do video, can do audio. so a british start—up that does these fakes or provides the these deep fakes or provides the software that , makes these deep software that, makes these deep fakes being forced , introduce fakes is being forced, introduce safeguards after deepfake audio recordings of the actress emma watson reading mind come by adolf hitler and also the broadcaster david being racist were released so you can do anything. there are also fake of sir alec guinness and president biden making sexist and transphobe comments. so 11 loves the company that makes this the software said it's going to introduce safeguards to prevent further product further abuse of the product isn't this is exactly isn't abuse. this is exactly what it's supposed to used what it's supposed to be used for creepy. and for right really creepy. and also deepfakes are great. they're everything they're going to make everything so you can go and do whatever you nobody's to you and nobody's going to believe you just believe it because. you can just say, well, was this was say, well, this was this was clearly generated by the downside isn't. it i suppose

because have made racist because if you have made racist comments and then something is leaked you can always say it's a deepfake . no, that was me. yeah, deepfake. no, that was me. yeah, i that was you live. i was talking about your racism and just general principle. let's not worry. yeah just try to make your face look not quite right. you know, when you're being the video train of six fingers, if when jeremy hunt walked into the coffee shop for that video that he did about, he said, can i have a fight like he did it in a that it made me think he's an auen that it made me think he's an alien trying to be human and not quite doing it right. he's he's deepfake. i'm not even sure he came back to the gig after he stopped health guy. stopped being the health guy. he's live again. he's never been seen live again. he's never been seen live again. he's around. he's i don't think still around. i trust of it because i don't trust any of it because of this deepfake hs2. i spent years working on a romney corbett impression for no good reason. a real worry. i reason. this is a real worry. i don't this whole deepfake. don't like this whole deepfake. i like idea that, you i don't like the idea that, you know, become know, actors will become redundant they'll just. just redundant and they'll just. just bnng redundant and they'll just. just bring olivier bring back laurence olivier every leading man. yeah, it'll. and is being used for real life harm. so a bank in the united

arab emirates was defrauded of $35 million hours by somebody deepfake selfies you can it's identity theft. yeah effectively. yeah. they pretended they were the bank manager or somebody over the phone. okay and to be clear, we're sure that emma watson wasn't reading out kampf . wasn't reading out mein kampf. that's definitely but maybe that's definitely not. but maybe she's using as an she's just using this as an excuse. interested well, i don't want speculate . we're going want to speculate. we're going to move on to express . to move on to the express. sorry, steve what's this one about health story that don't worry, it's probably nonsense, but watching horror movies could with chronic pain, to according expert, it's as good as exercise put me down for that one. oh, yeah which film given the choice to in exercising and watching a film i'll do them well. and then what do they mean by this? so you sit down and watch you could sit down and watch hellraiser two or leprechaun in the of those the hood or any of those brilliant classics and you lose weight. is that what they're saying a boy that's just screaming so much. it's do screaming so much. so it's to do with able to cope with with being able to cope with chronic and if you chronic pain. yes. and if you watch these kind of film, you watch these kind of film, you watch you get the

watch any film, you get the release some chemicals release of some good chemicals unless absolute die on. unless it's an absolute die on. yes. shots , chris yes. with parting shots, chris rare. what's that like , michael, rare. what's that like, michael, when it directed it because why some of that but you watch a film you enjoy it but especially if you if you're the kind of person who enjoys horror films this analysis out you get this analysis out that you get some chemicals and can some good chemicals and it can help with pain but help deal with chronic pain but again which round again we don't know which round it if you've got it is. maybe if you've got a high tolerance for pain, you can sit and watch these sit around and watch these terrifying so that's terrifying films. so that's why the you the links that or are you watching silence of lambs watching silence of the lambs and yourself, well, at and saying to yourself, well, at least off. least i haven't had my face off. yeah, you i may have i yeah, you know, i may have i may have which actually have got which would actually have got which would actually have helped lose weight because skin weight, of skin obviously has weight, of course. think, know, course. but i think, you know, remember were remember story two, we were about lazy no, about every fat and lazy no, i mean, this is because newspapers will just run press releases like this one. this isn't know this is somebody who sent a press release to the express with this watch and horror films obviously isn't particularly healthy . good for you compared healthy. good for you compared to unhealthy . i mean, i really to unhealthy. i mean, i really like horror films. i don't think it's unhealthy think i mean as

far as films go is probably exactly the same don't think is going to help you withstand no pain the pain thing pain no moving the pain thing aside this article also that the experts are saying it can be beneficial to an anxious mind so it anxiety right now that it helps anxiety right now that does make sense if you think about catharsis and the principle of ancient greeks principle of the ancient greeks watching hearing watching tragedies and hearing people being dismembered and torn , and they did to torn apart, and they did that to purge themselves their evil purge themselves of their evil thoughts. think thoughts. right. so i think think has a classical think this has a classical precedent. but i remember as relatively young person watching the splash and i've never the film splash and i've never dated a mermaid terrifying . so dated a mermaid terrifying. so no, sure about this one no, i'm not sure about this one for rosemary's baby and didn't have my have a kid until was in my forties so something me off. forties so something put me off. okay i think it's a okay well, i think it's a fascinating gonna fascinating idea. i'm gonna watch more as , far watch more more horror as, far as i'm concerned. let's go to the now , leo, what's worse the metro now, leo, what's worse than i am the aliens . yeah. so than i am the aliens. yeah. so this is more artificial intelligence as they found it. signals of interest while they're searching for aliens . so they're searching for aliens. so scientists use this algorithm must identify signs of intelligent communication. and

the radio waves are bouncing around the cosmos. but no use a.i, which is better than algorithms so. watch out, google. so your algorithm aren't any use anymore. we've got special new a.i. stuff and the fed all these radio signals into a.i. and they've discovered eight signals that the algorithm missed that are probably just radio interference, apparently, but still, i'm not worried about auens but still, i'm not worried about aliens taking us over because i think they won't kill us. yeah, i think we'll develop monster robots that will come and kill us. and especially if the aliens are radio. means are good radio. so that means they'll they'll enjoy earth and our earth is. yes. yeah any thoughts? i mean, you're a big science type . oh, yeah. i mean, science type. oh, yeah. i mean, i love the fact that in theory, electromagnetic radiation travels goes travels at speed, life goes on forever could forever so they could listen. when on right now, when we're on radio right now, they for this. they could be tuned in for this. what saying aliens what you're saying some aliens are now. are listening to us right now. yeah no, actually, technically dab, you have to work to dab, you don't have to work to decode just in decode it. you that just back in the am days but i think it the old am days but i think it would be great if these aliens if can send them a message because by the time get here i

would have wiped us out. but then i would want aliens . i then i would want the aliens. i just them apples . i see just like them apples. i see what you're doing. that. okay, interesting. move interesting. we're going to move on star next. and on to the daily star next. and steve, this is one for you. surely the most romantic story of the night. it's valentine's , of the night. it's valentine's, but it's if you've split up, apparently, cockroach apparently, you name a cockroach after your ex and then feed it an animal. just that sense of closure that you probably need. this is san antonio, which offers this special where they will name a cockroach. i ruin it for you. but cockroaches don't have actual names , so. well, have actual names, so. well, these ones do that they can name a cockroach you name anything, what do you feed it to of. well, whatever . cockroaches, probably whatever. cockroaches, probably somebody who's food within the european union. no. and insect powder is being in all the eu food . i don't think my name. food. i don't think my name. those will be accepted the way. but you can go i got this from i thought the idea was that you name cockroach to name a name the cockroach pay to name a cockroach they feed to an cockroach and they feed to an animal here and that's sort of

cathartic you're that cathartic. you're imagining that your being eaten. yeah, well, your ex being eaten. yeah, well, your ex being eaten. yeah, well, you could try and go over you could just try and go over your this really your ex. i mean, this really feels like it's not helping anyone. would say this isn't a anyone. i would say this isn't a sensible or healthy psychologically. it's an psychologically. would it's an improvement on kim jong un, who fed his uncle to some pigs . so fed his uncle to some pigs. so he's naming a cockroach he's better naming a cockroach after your uncle. i think that i'm feeding the cockroach this month secretive. i think he denied that the same thing. i was thinking us. was thinking suing us. all right. and you've got to right. right. and you've got to be careful. i said kim jong un. no anyway, we're going to move on to this story, going to finish with this one, actually. this is wednesdays male and time for blaming for you to stop blaming your mother leo. yeah. this hair mother leo. yeah. so this hair loss has been debunked by a gp, the famous . that hair loss goes the famous. that hair loss goes down mother's side. so if that was true , if your mother was was true, if your mother was bald, you're going to be bald. if your mother's father was bald because your bold if because your mother's bold if you have your mother's father , you have your mother's father, your father was bald. so in 2017, the university of enbridge did a study and did find that. the mother's are to blame the mother's genes are to blame
