the a look at the the show, but have a look at the front pages friday's front pages of friday's newspapers cheer up . and newspapers to cheer us up. and we've got the daily mail first ever running with this beyond parody. apparently, new parody. apparently, oxfam's new inclusivity banned inclusivity guide has banned words such as mother and headquarters. we're going to get to in minute the guardian to that in a minute the guardian has excoriating reports met police and sexist culture . police over and sexist culture. the telegraph is leading with labour's pension tax rate plan will hit millions. the times unions back a fair raise for a million nhs staff and the daily express are leading with victory for common and patience . and now for common and patience. and now we've got the daily star and they're going with generations it's sleepy time. you'll find out what that's about when we get to it in a moment. those were your front pages . okay were your front pages. okay we're going to begin with the daily mail. the biggest story the day, leo, is the biggest story, but it's certainly the most daily story. oxfam the

charity that brought a new 92 page inclusive tea guide , page inclusive tea guide, telling their staff to how use how to use the language. because, of course, know if you're doing a job. most important thing is reading the 92 page guide that redefines the common use of word but apparently this was circulated internally for a long long time it's now it's just been made. all right. that's what's happened. it's it's happened. but it's pretty it's pretty some of stuff. pretty mad. some of this stuff. i i'd to read the i mean, i'd love to read the whole but just the whole thing, but just the exception here. i mean, a lot exception go here. i mean, a lot of people are focusing on the fact the mother father fact the mother and father people are being told to replace that term i that with the term parent. i mean, of that kind of mean, that kind of that kind of makes sense, it? other makes make sense, does it? other terms well other yeah, terms well other thing. yeah, but understand, you know, but i can understand, you know, sometimes well i mean or understand not for me, understand it, but not for me, it's not worst thing. so it's not the worst thing. so term women, people who term pregnant women, people who become should be used become pregnant should be used instead expectant mothers . instead of expectant mothers. okay. you know, there's a man out going to squeeze out there who's going to squeeze a through testes. there's a child through testes. there's instead of seeing migration crisis, a refugee crisis, which are terms i'd have thought are

used to love by oxfam, we've got to see migration as a complex phenomenon . it's some sort phenomenon like. it's some sort of are we talking about starlings here? so the thing about of this, steve, is about all of this, steve, is i mean, this is a very western obsession this idea let's obsession and this idea of let's sort curtail speech in these sort of curtail speech in these along weirdly middle class along these weirdly middle class ideological lines, people, india in countries aren't in developing countries aren't going care about this stuff going to care about this stuff or other. or probably even the other. yeah, very few people yeah, i mean, very few people care it. the people care about it. the only people who the kind of who care about the kind of people write 92 page one people who write 92 page one thing. sure the problem. thing. sure that's the problem. i think the aim of being inclusive is great, is why i can kind of see the sense of saying parents is general, because parents is a general, because you really know who's in charge . i remember . you know, i remember in the eighties was a the parents eighties there was a the parents are these days these days you're just so you're so conservative. no, remember in the no, but i remember in the eighties a like say mum eighties there a like a say mum and case it was other and dad in case it was other guardians or said, you know, there's argument didn't on there's an argument it didn't on did not why did it. and that's not why they're doing. but there are better in this report in better things in this report in this guide, including on race is the pve this guide, including on race is the i've read. the best thing i've ever read. the states minority the guidebook states minority ethnic used instead

ethnic persons be used instead of ethnic minority persons because . it places the emphasis because. it places the emphasis on ethnicity being a minority, evenif on ethnicity being a minority, even if. that's a good argument. your version does the same, does it? yeah. you just swap words, right. and in fact the current correct term for ethnic minority people is global majority because of course across the globe there are majority it is white people who are a minority. but the critical race theorist won't like that because they sort depend on the victimhood idea. you're suddenly idea. if you're suddenly majority, idea. if you're suddenly maj0|you can still be well, you can still be victimised a small mean victimised by a small small mean some the some things. some of the some of the things. so words headquarters should so the words headquarters should never used because. it never be used because. it implies a power that implies a power dynamic that prioritises over prioritises one office over another content in which another and the content in which we work. the implication is very reinforcing, hierarchical power issues and a top down approach . issues and a top down approach. i mean role organisation to i mean the role organisation to a certain extent hierarchical, it's oxfam's not completely flat i think that i think they're stretching things but i don't think that's convincing. but there's also think and i would question idea that it's question the idea that it's inclusive there inclusive because there encouraging people to use phrases woman

phrases like cis woman and woman with an x in it as well. these are ideological ideas and most people don't agree with them and the staff members are one staff members already said that terrified jobs because terrified for their jobs because if they speak out against nonsense, they might get in trouble. it's inclusive , trouble. so it's not inclusive, it's it's actually it's the opposite. it's actually excluding their workforce. excluding most their workforce. it's to the to the it's inclusive to the to the right people, to the chosen people. right. okay. excluding the we saw a girls the other day, we saw a girls school sports team was was banned from a tournament because they refused play against the trans team and said, we're doing this because of inclusivity and like you excluded those girls. that's not being it's same that's not being it's the same thing this is a lot of thing here. this is a lot of people will find this very very selective. yeah very selective idea inclusivity means idea of what inclusivity means and we're going to move on and way we're going to move on to the telegraph now steve what are leading with on friday are they leading with on friday the a story the telegraph goes with a story about pensions but this is actually i this confusing actually i find this confusing this is labour's point of view about reversing what jeremy is said to be doing about pensions could cause problems. yeah i needed a flow diagram to kind of

get my head around this. so jeremy hunt tries to get rid of a cap on how much you can accumulate for your pension. rachel reeves oh, we'll rachel reeves said, oh, we'll get rid of that. the telegraph rachel reeves said, oh, we'll get rgoesthat. the telegraph rachel reeves said, oh, we'll get rgoes ont. the telegraph rachel reeves said, oh, we'll get rgoes ont. the tisegraph rachel reeves said, oh, we'll get rgoes ont. the tis going to then goes on to this is going to cause panic. but there's many cause panic. but there's so many in sentence. if labour in in this sentence. if labour in if actually it, if if they actually change it, if people decide to take people do then decide to take early retirement before labour get in. if you read get in. yes then if you read down details of it, one down into the details of it, one argument is that this will impact top 1% so maybe 1% of impact the top 1% so maybe 1% of the potential workforce won't go back i we're down back to work. i think we're down about explain. it's about three. so explain. it's a front cover story well, front cover story then. well, these these are the people who are people are the most productive people in society, the top 1% that get paid because they do paid the most, because they do the good for society , don't the most good for society, don't necessarily the most work. of necessarily do the most work. of course . well, i mean, whatever course. well, i mean, whatever they is a lot of a lot of they do is a lot of a lot of wealth generally don't pay someone of to do someone a lot of money to do nothing. so they're generally generating wealth and generating a lot of wealth and a of so to keep those of taxes. so to keep those people working good for the people working is good for the country do you think those country. do you think those people will stop work simply because their pension then because their pension would then taxed certain if

taxed above a certain level if making much? if that 1, the making that much? if that 1, the top bit of that 1% will be making much, the tax won't making so much, the tax won't slow them there'll be slow them down. there'll be a small slice just over that boundary where they might think of not back to work. of not going back to work. absolutely. to absolutely. is going to disincentivize top disincentivize people the top and doctors and we're talking about doctors you people who we you know this is people who we really in the workforce and really want in the workforce and it disincentive to it will be a disincentive to work mean you can see people work mean you can see why people still keep working still want to keep working because a vocation no because it is a vocation but no if you're going to are you going to lose you're going to be working for free working essentially for free because work because any money work gets chopped the cap chopped off by the by the cap and. there's no point. no point. okay. well let's move on now to the times, the front of fridays times. of one of the times times. leo of one of the times leading the unions have leading with so the unions have backed fair raise for backed a fair raise for a million nhs staff. only 5, million nhs staff. it's only 5, they're a 14. if they're going for a 14. so if they're going for a 14. so if they sell 5% and a lot more they sell for 5% and a lot more claps, i think we're going to have to clap on tuesdays and thursdays now. may buying thursdays now. so may buying some together. so some frying pans together. so i've been i through many i've been i went through so many frying no frying pans in the pandemic no in hospital every two weeks. not a with hands a coronavirus with burnt hands from flipper . yeah, it. call from flipper. yeah, it. call a pandemic . very good. you all

pandemic. very good. you all right? good. any thoughts on this story , steve? why did it this story, steve? why did it take this long? we sat saying of all those stories , there'll be all those stories, there'll be no negotiation. we're doing no negotiation. we're not doing negotiation. course negotiation. well, of course there'll negotiation some there'll be negotiation some point. they would point. and if they would have done this, we would have had fewer days with people fewer days with medical people on maybe on strike. so, you know, maybe some would have lived. okay. well, going to finish this well, we're going to finish this section star section with the daily star even section with the daily star ever, steve. the star finds different on the day's different angle on the day's events. they with events. what if they come with young having naps ? this events. what if they come with yoon] having naps ? this events. what if they come with yoon the having naps ? this events. what if they come with yoon the front1aving naps ? this events. what if they come with yoon the front news. naps ? this events. what if they come with yoon the front news. ladies’ this events. what if they come with yoon the front news. ladies and; is on the front news. ladies and gentlemen . and it says under 24 gentlemen. and it says under 24 are having naps. now, my kids want any naps twice a day so he's skewing figures. yeah he's under 24. yeah but he's just saying the old people that maybe they don't nap as young they don't nap as much as young people because they get. i'd love angry about this but love to be angry about this but i not given i also not by any given opportune i opportune this. yes i know you're not typical necessarily i would say that we've always known that the people who nap the are very, very old the most are the very, very old and very, very young teenagers spend time spend most of their time napping. i mean that's napping. do they? i mean that's what i did. i think this a what i did. i think this is a story concocted because

and back to headline is with me. andrew doyle . the first look at andrew doyle. the first look at friday's newspaper . andrew doyle. the first look at friday's newspaper. i'm here with leo kearse and steve and alan onto this story. now the us has released footage of the russian drone collision from the other day . exciting. let's take

other day. exciting. let's take a look . and there we see the a look. and there we see the images from the drone and the russian plane . very reckless is russian plane. very reckless is how it has been described and there's the collision right there's the collision right there with dumping a chem trail. and it's certainly doing something vintage . so you see something vintage. so you see the propeller stopped, the propeller got bent, apparent . propeller got bent, apparent. yeah, propeller hit the fuselage of the other plane. or if it just hitting the fuel would that speed. yeah and what. but apparently the russian plane was sort of dumping fuel . yeah. sort of dumping fuel. yeah. which is apparently classed as a kind of harassment. they called it harassment. yeah. yeah. can you i mean, is the like chucking it's like if you're if you're driving, if you got road rage, you chuck, you know, you want to chuck, you know, a can on a car if you're an image of you on one of these fighter jets, you can't window in the window, they don't have those little for so little handles for wayne. so what steve, what are the russians playing? so this russians playing? right. so this this antagonistic. this feels quite antagonistic. doesn't does. i think doesn't it? it does. i think what they're out they're what they're playing out they're playing it, trying to get their

news clips mentioned news in their clips mentioned loads. fallen into loads. we've just fallen into the mean it's great the trap. i mean it's a great clip. yes we're doing exactly what you think is what they want. you think is this propaganda thing. this is a propaganda thing. yeah. even sure this is a propaganda thing. yedumping even sure this is a propaganda thing. ye dumping fuel even sure this is a propaganda thing. yedumping fuel on even sure this is a propaganda thing. yedumping fuel on a even sure this is a propaganda thing. yedumping fuel on a drone sure this is a propaganda thing. yedumping fuel on a drone makes if dumping fuel on a drone makes that much difference. it just looks like a dirty protest, isn't looks it's going to isn't it? it looks it's going to get greater, that's sure. get greater, that's for sure. yeah. she'll reading yeah. and she'll be reading about brinkmanship about this is brinkmanship because a days ago because mean just a few days ago the b—52 over estonia and the flew b—52 over estonia and you know just away from the russian border at the last moment. it's a practise run in st petersburg so this is probably response to that and probably in response to that and to try they're trying to force the russia thinks the down russia thinks it's going able to the drone going to be able to the drone because russia's drone technology want technology is terrible they want to this drone the drone to get this this drone the drone pick apart. want to pick it apart. they want to find out they do way things in out who they do way things in afghanistan. the drone yeah. the drone waters drone in in international waters neutral waters. right. the us neutral waters. right. so the us will be able to get it back who's so i'm not who's the black sea. so i'm not sure russian navy's sure i mean the russian navy's right so they they might right there so they they might have already recovered. no making drone was making claims that the drone was it be there. right. it shouldn't be there. right. there's nothing wrong with the drone it was. it's

drone being where it was. it's not the chinese balloon all not like the chinese balloon all over it's not the over again, is it? it's not the same but does feel same thing, but it does feel like brinkmanship. it feels bit worrying. like something's worrying. it's like something's escalating. yeah. yeah, it. well, to world war three. but well, on to world war three. but first, about this one from first, what about this one from the fridays fridays times on how ill reframe it ill we are. steve reframe it good news we're solving the ageing population crisis . ageing population crisis. goodness, i'm bringing the good stuff. britain slips to the 29th in the global life expectancy ratings that doesn't sound good that does it because apparently back in the 1950s we were seventh place in the world and now we're 29th. what's going wrong? well, it turns out wealth, would wealth, inequalities, i would imagine the bad imagine it would be all the bad food. but no, it's the fact the wealth inequality means the poorest dying younger and poorest are dying younger and they dragging your they just dragging down your stats. you want to this, stats. so if you want to this, you've got to help out poor poor well when we get so well but maybe we when we get so as scotland gets independence we'll right up well we'll go right up again. well i actually got you've fair actually you've got you've fair point to say i mean point i was going to say i mean england hardly talk you're england can hardly talk you're full a beast drug drug ethics full of a beast drug drug ethics as scotland as well. but scotland is particularly drug deaths particularly bad are drug deaths under snp have gone up by

under the snp have gone up by i think three fold it's by far the highest in europe like a multitude higher than the next highest. we're highest. a country. when we're talking inequality, the talking about inequality, the actual the actual issue, britain is the other . the inequality other countries. the inequality between and, other between britain and, other countries has has decreased . so countries has has decreased. so other countries are coming up to the western, you know, modern, but they are accelerating. they are because of a look from the look at this article, it's not saying that we've basically stayed these other stayed the same and these other developed, countries developed, developed countries have zoomed, haven't developed, developed countries haveand zoomed, haven't developed, developed countries haveand it zoomed, haven't developed, developed countries haveand it isroomed, haven't developed, developed countries haveand it is probably haven't developed, developed countries haveand it is probably just1aven't we? and it is probably just isn't it? probably just need isn't it? we probably just need to with the fact that we've to deal with the fact that we've got too much poverty, poverty, and pandemic. so and also also the pandemic. so we've a huge number of we've got got a huge number of unexplained that unexplained excess deaths that definitely happen. because of that you think they that reason, you think they happened. we don't want to get an strike, but there's an ofcom strike, but there's a huge of excess deaths. huge number of excess deaths. i don't might don't know why might have something the nhs and something to do with the nhs and the nhs being underfunded and being able with every, being able to deal with every, every countries germany, every countries like germany, france, crisis every countries like germany, fran(their crisis every countries like germany, fran(their health crisis every countries like germany, fran(their health system with their health care system at the moment. so i don't think there's particular to there's anything particular to that. you know, the that. i think, you know, the fact that we down so much sweden

doesn't have those deaths doesn't have those excess deaths and we are still and it's found this we are still beating so america beating america. so america please the twinkies please keep eating the twinkies and there we go. and having guns. there we go. good america. anyway more good job, america. anyway more great achievements in great british achievements in friday's guardian. leo, you've got one. believe so one got this one. i believe so one in five pupils in england were persistently absent in the past school year so this is i mean this is an overhang from from london when all the kids didn't go to school. and it's the same as, you know, we're seeing people from the workplace because to and because they didn't go to and no, they want to go back no, they don't want to go back to work. kids want to go back to school. free education school. the free education spokesperson the vast spokesperson said that the vast majority were in majority of children were in school they to school and learning they need to learn started sticks content learn started sticks and content right i mean it the right it. i mean it may be the vast majority, certain situations, but if you're talking about kids going to school, that's not vast majority. that's small enough . majority. that's small enough. majority school majority of children in school is minimum would is the bare minimum would expect, basically. mean, expect, basically. i mean, if you at stats 22% you look at these stats i 22% of state pupils missing for state school pupils missing for more 10% of their lessons. more than 10% of their lessons. yeah to be a teacher. i yeah i used to be a teacher. i know that when people missed like few days, quite like just a few days, it's quite a get them back on

a slog to get them back on track. this is not good . but track. this is not good. but we're managing to the of we're managing to the problem of class being too big. there class sizes being too big. there is that by sure that the school and also what i'm trying to find the silver lining a the silver lining give it a couple years this whole couple of years this whole cohort the job market cohort will be in the job market competing perfectly. so it's really that they're not really good that they're not clever. yes, that's true . clever. yes, that's true. otherwise we are going to struggle work that a very struggle for work that a very good i worry about good point. i do worry about this. mean, kind of thing this. so i mean, i kind of thing is diagnosis , is this is leo's diagnosis, is this because pandemic got because of the pandemic and got just not being at school just used to not being at school to actually maybe don't need to actually maybe we don't need to actually maybe we don't need to be there got to a big part to be there got to be a big part of it it's they shouldn't have to it's entirely to be there it's entirely possible have pandemic possible to have a pandemic have a to pandemic and a response to a pandemic and realise are meant to be back realise you are meant to be back at school someone dropped another spanner. i mean, we probably have all probably shouldn't have shut all those let's it. well those schools. let's it. well yeah. know i every yeah. know i think every generation about 20, probably more than that, the kids are just stupid school to be any just too stupid school to be any good so it's. good for them. so maybe it's. it's nature's yeah. it's just nature's way. yeah. bnng it's just nature's way. yeah. bring chimney sweeping bring back chimney sweeping for some they don't they some of them they don't they don't be literate. it's coming on anyway what about this on their anyway what about this article on article from friday's on the perils of installing chinese

spyware good the spyware no matter how good the choreography tick tock steve choreography is tick tock steve going they're banning it going on here they're banning it for phones of the ministers and officials working in government on their their work phones right yeah you shouldn't be lip synching . you're at work. synching. you're at work. they're still at it on their personal phones, which i guess is otherwise we might have is good. otherwise we might have been deprived of nadine dorries wrapping which is. oh, i mean she should do a follow up. yeah she should release a single. that album she's that was her whole album she's pretty is pretty ghetto. this is interesting that ticktock interesting though that ticktock i understanding that i mean my understanding is that because companies because the chinese companies are hand over data to are obliged to hand over data to the chinese government, should that did and the that be requested did and the parent company of, tick that be requested did and the parent company of , tick tock, parent company of, tick tock, which think called which i think is called bytedance something that yeah bytedance or something that yeah . see that as a huge security risk there and there's no real doubt about that yet america always looking ban always already looking to ban tiktok right or force it tiktok go right or force it sales to an american company the americans give this americans should give this chinese company because it is it's it's a security risk it's a it's just a security risk in terms them harvesting data from phone. yeah. there's obviously an issue with government ministers anybody government ministers and anybody involved. the government but it

also the sort of things that take talk in the west , you know take talk in the west, you know pushes through its algorithm is all it really did generate encouraging children to transition and encouraging self—harm is that the case or is that just because we see the worst of it? because i'm not on tik tok. so what i is the lives of tik tok accounts , twitter, of tik tok accounts, twitter, it's all it's all like that. that's a the best that's probably a bit the best you're to be serious you're going to be serious is all just idiocy. it's just that 20% of kids who aren't in school after back is no lot after steve come back is no lot . it's got an algorithm . i think it's got an algorithm that what you're that learns what you're interested if you interested in the longer if you watch the videos over watch one of the videos over a certain amount of time it just feeds you a load of those. and i think you might have been shown a video that really set off anger and it's realised you anger leo and it's realised you like leo degeneracy and like leo is into degeneracy and you won't admit it. i don't you just won't admit it. i don't go on tiktok, i just think it's, i think it's you know what i think it's not you know what tik talks because can tik talks follow because i can see twitter , but it was see it on twitter, but it was the twitter to. come the best of twitter to. come back this article. it back to this article. it is right proper the government right proper that the government and government should not be using tiktok their phones. using tiktok on their phones.

there's obviously some potential security that right. security breach that right. there's obviously a problem. yeah there's actual yeah i mean there's no actual evidence that something evidence that there's something the they can get other the code that they can get other data phone. well but data from your phone. well but isn't what's was phrase risk isn't what's was the phrase risk analysis exactly you've analysis what exactly you've been asking we we've seen a lot we've seen what the spyware can do we've seen about pegasus. spyware can do, you know, just having software, your phone having the software, your phone gives them access to absolutely everything. we don't know. so let's just play it safe, right? yeah. get off. minister's. get off tiktok. and by the way, get off whatsapp because all that stuff eventually. stuff gets leaked eventually. yeah. that's for yeah. you know. so that's for their own good. yeah that'll be, that'll be my advice. i shouldn't be using whatsapp anyway. you can't. freedom of information. i mean you can but you don't know what the freedom of information through. you don't know what the freedom of info hawkshaw through. you don't know what the freedom of info hawkshaw yeah.gh. you don't know what the freedom of info hawkshaw yeah. yeah isabel hawkshaw yeah. yeah that's, that's the way it's done. move on now done. we're going to move on now to article. this is in to this article. this is in friday's daily and this is friday's daily mail. and this is on macron, making it on president macron, making it incredibly and incredibly popular and democratic is democratic decisions. this is what he's like there isn't a clear you know, is it so clear you know, this is it so french president macron faces motions of no confidence forcing through an increase in retirement without in retirement without a vote in parliament. and obviously predicting riots and obviously doesn't doesn't about it

doesn't doesn't care about it because still 60 because he's still about 60 years but in france, years old. but in france, they're raising the age from 62 to 64, just put this in context. in britain the retirement age is 60, 60, 60. and i think our life expectancy is about 57 at the moment. right yeah. we're just working till we die but this is interesting. we're seeing across europe, you know, we're seeing governments , you know, forced governments, you know, forced through quite quaint sort of authoritarian force through rules and whether without going to parliament, without a vote, with referendum and then people rise up. we saw a the dutch elections relate to this populist farmers party and it's now the major. so this seems to be a no for me. like if you were in charge and see that polling suggests that two thirds of the electorate hate what you're about to and don't about to and you don't have approval . your approval within. your parliament, why push through parliament, why push it through anyway? backfire. anyway? it's going to backfire. that's with nicola that's what happened with nicola sturgeon gender sturgeon and the gender recognition thirds recognition bill like two thirds of want. of scottish writers didn't want. you what? what was he you know what? what was he thinking, steve? yeah, and i mean, that we mean, i can understand that we do need retirement ages to go up

because life expectancy has gone up. when retired up. originally when retired it was in. live like was brought in. people live like three after the age. now three years after the age. now you can live decades beyond. you can live for decades beyond. but you're right about the method yeah go to method of doing it. yeah go to the and the vote then. the vote and lose the vote then. it's your fault right now. it's not your fault right now. he thinks that's the right thing to yeah, but this the to do. yeah, but this is the point is that, you know, he doesn't a majority in the doesn't have a majority in the country, doesn't have country, he doesn't have majority national majority in the national assembly. his moral responsibility is to withdraw the railroaded the bill, not just railroaded through it's. okay. did through and hope it's. okay. did he nothing the he learned nothing from the election and what happened but surely sometimes an argument to be people be made. you know what people want isn't the best for the country true but then you country is true but then you want extra two years? want to work an extra two years? no, then win argument. no, but then you win argument. that's democracy works. that's how democracy works. i mean, you're absolutely right that can sometimes that the majority can sometimes be and yeah, i be fake and wrong. yeah, i completely agree that. but completely agree with that. but that's got as that's why you've got as a politician to politician it's your job to convey the arguments properly that result that is that you get the result that is best for everyone. you know, you're to be able to you're never going to be able to phrase the argument in a way thatis phrase the argument in a way that is going to convince people no to two years. you no vote to retire two years. you have no in humanity and

have no no faith in humanity and our reason either, our ability to reason either, i think this is think i think this is undemocratic. i don't think it's good and think good for macron. and i think he's to face because the french are pretty good at their protests. know, go on protests. you know, they go on the they don't mess the street, they don't mess about, i feel sorry about, oh, yeah, i feel sorry for yes trucks. yeah for the lambs. yes trucks. yeah they five two lambs they did set five two lambs didn't they. won't they do that again. it smells nice of you honestly. french cuisine rave about but just ghastly. about it, but it's just ghastly. anyway, all anyway, anyway, that's all this part, the so we're going part, by the way. so we're going to quick do not go to take a quick do not go anywhere because two are going to take a quick do not go anwatalkingzause two are going to take a quick do not go anwatalking aboutwo are going to take a quick do not go anwatalking about the are going to take a quick do not go anwatalking about the world'sg to be talking about the world's first octopus farm, special first octopus farm, a special bbc and steve will bbc arrangements and steve will tell shouldn't fret tell us why we shouldn't fret about radioactive components . about radioactive components. hopefully see in a minute . there's help for households. are you over state pension age? if your weekly income is below £182.60, or £278.70 if you live with a partner, you could be eligible for pension credit, even if you own your home or have savings. it's worth, on average, £3,500 a year

welcome back to headline as your first look at friday's newspapers . and as you all know newspapers. and as you all know i'm an incredible strictly come dancing fan so it does send me

to that one of the judges to read that one of the judges would not able to understand northern is steve, you personally this? personally offended by this? i am deep on behalf of my people as i am the north. i've lost some the accent. admit some of the accent. i'll admit that. it that. but that's because it turns out like strictly turns out people like strictly judge judge motsi mabuza never watch it says she can't watch it. it says that she can't understand northerners. mean, understand northerners. i mean, it's her say it's very honest of to her say this, that she just can't grasp just to get a translation from one the other judges. just to get a translation from one the otherjudges. yeah one of the other judges. yeah which impressed to be which i'm impressed by. to be fair, it's craig revel fair, there is, it's craig revel horwood, he can horwood, i'm amazed he can understand this as well. he australian i have no australian originally. i have no idea who any of these people are. i'll be honest, but the thing is it's quite like these days. that's quite an offensive. it's chicken it's risky to say that chicken little it's not because i she's black i'm assuming black black i'm assuming she's black from is racist. from the name which is racist. well that's that's racist. that's more offensive as is anything not racist these days but if this was a white but yeah if this was a white person can't understand person oh i can't understand what nigerian was what this nigerian person was saying everybody the saying then everybody all the doctors showed chawla, moss shock barmy moves would be out being this is why i resist being like this is why i resist the capacity. this is unlike and

it's not happening here ourselves. no, it's not. everybody's just like, yeah, fair enough. you can understand people from the disowned. disowned but be disowned we are. but to be fair, it is difficult sometimes with some i mean, i struggle some accents. i mean, i struggle with, with some, you know, more broad geordie accents or a scouser accent. not because i dislike people from liverpool or newcastle. yeah, they're lovely on whole, but it is tricky isn't it. yeah. you know i quite like the that one of my first long term partners is from essex, my dad. from mansfield dad. obviously from mansfield where from, couldn't speak where i'm from, couldn't speak to other my dad was to each other because my dad was going and my partner quite going and my partner was quite quiet dad's accent was just quiet and dad's accent was just so couldn't understand quiet and dad's accent was just so so couldn't understand quiet and dad's accent was just so so i couldn't understand quiet and dad's accent was just so so i translate: understand quiet and dad's accent was just so so i translate andierstand quiet and dad's accent was just so so i translate and it stand quiet and dad's accent was just so so i translate and it feltd it. so i translate and it felt like bilingual what? like being bilingual for what? it's to it's it's tonko down to saying it's turned cold, hasn't it? and the reverse be true. i mean, it reverse must be true. i mean, it must be people with broad scottish who struggle some scottish who struggle with some engush scottish who struggle with some english yes. i english accent, right? yes. i mean, about britain is mean, the thing about britain is you 20 down the road, you go 20 miles down the road, people completely. people talk. completely. exactly. mud. i think exactly. it's mud. so i think i don't think we should get outraged no, we shouldn't. outraged this. no, we shouldn't. then when then shouldn't get outraged when you see, for example, somebody

goes to buckingham palace dressed like fred flintstone. someone's like we're you know , someone's like we're you know, are you from it's not you know it's an evil colonial list it's not an evil colonial list racist attack. no, of course it's people enquiring about difference . and that should be, difference. and that should be, you know , fine basically. anyway you know, fine basically. anyway let's move on. oh, mcdonald's a farm. and on that farm, he had a bunch of octopi that had the reasoning ability of a four year old. and then he decided to eat them. yeah. so animal activists have condemned a cruel plan for the world's first octopus farm. andrew, what makes this particularly cruel as opposed to let farms killing . let all farms you're killing. well, left. it's pigs. well, cows are left. it's pigs. cows and lettuces don't have sentience, self consciousness. do they give us more than an octopus? no, that's not true. pig. no octopi or puncture. that's wrong. actually, i just near octopuses. yeah sentient. they can experience happiness and depression these are like. like just having to see this. but how do you know? how do you know if an octopus is experiencing depression? it's an

octopus because they they cry and corner speak. no, and sit in a corner speak. no, this is the problem is there was this is the problem is there was this documentary this netflix documentary lockdown. watched this netflix documentary loc there |. watched this netflix documentary loc there was watched this netflix documentary locthere was nothing watched this netflix documentary locthere was nothing else atched this netflix documentary locthere was nothing else to hed it. there was nothing else to do. it was called my octopus do. and it was called my octopus teacher. it's about this teacher. and it's about this guy who made friends an octopus and swam what really swam with it. but what it really was, he was going through was, was he was going through a difficult divorce or something? so projected all the so what the projected all the all feelings onto all these feelings onto this onto they've you know a onto squid they've you know a lot science and things lot about science and things yeah can tell us is it yeah so you can tell us is it true that an octopus is more sentient than say a cow definitely more a lettuce. i agree with you on that one. yeah i yeah. there's i think yeah. cow. there's certainly sentience certainly more. yes. sentience is difficult thing to try is really difficult thing to try and measure, more and measure, but more intelligent are really intelligent pig pigs are really clever. they are clever. but octopus, they are amazing. there's a lovely story of a research laboratory i think was and they was in america and they had these octopus a tank these octopi, octopus in a tank every morning they go in in the light fused and like what's going here? and it turns out. going on here? and it turns out. one of octopus pods had it's going on here? and it turns out. 0 bitof octopus pods had it's going on here? and it turns out. obit light octopus pods had it's going on here? and it turns out. 0 bit light overnight)ods had it's going on here? and it turns out. 0 bit light overnight so s had it's going on here? and it turns out. 0 bit light overnight so ithad it's a bit light overnight so it would squirt water to the light switch to fuse it. that's i mean yes that's water on the lake . yes that's water on the lake. cool devices. it's not clever

that's a very dangerous thing. there could be jellyfish vying for it because it was in a self—contained human's and nearly killed. i think you can tell when the creatures have a particularly high level of intelligence. so do you think the alien resurrection, the film alien resurrection, where are three aliens in where there are three aliens in a prison and want that to decide, other one so decide, destroy the other one so the acid of blood gives them a way? then you know, the way? yeah. then you know, the auens way? yeah. then you know, the aliens intelligent. this aliens are intelligent. in this case octopus. all of the case with an octopus. all of the studies done studies i they haven't done anything as that, but anything as smart as that, but we can tell that they're pretty much up there. they're like a moderately intelligent. why didn't then? didn't they try taken over then? and see comes out on and we'll see who comes out on top. they'll win maybe top. maybe they'll win and maybe because breathe up because they can't breathe up here. live over here. they only live for over a yeah here. they only live for over a year. they can. they can out of the water. we can go in the water so much we totally dominate. okay look, this article that they're going article says that they're going to 15 octopuses to put 10 to 15 octopuses in this within cubic square this farm within a cubic square metre. that's got to be cruel. leo can't justify leo you can't you can't justify that. do it with chickens. that. we do it with chickens. chickens sentient. do a chickens aren't sentient. do a call i mean, call centre workers. i mean, this is hokum. it's chickens. the sentient centre the sentient call centre workers are phone with them

are not on the phone with them right. let's move on this right. let's move on to this one. this this telegraph one. this is this telegraph still bbc having still the bbc having arrangements for stars. arrangements for their stars. what arrangements? what are these arrangements? what's this this what's going on? so this is this is following on from gary lineker into or for lineker getting into or for tweeting political opinion lineker getting into or for tw about political opinion lineker getting into or for tw about about)litical opinion lineker getting into or for tw about about the :al opinion lineker getting into or for tw about about the government's is about about the government's policy. so the bbc said to reveal specific arrangements with stars that allows them to express political it comes down to the stars being identified with the bbc so they give the example of the sugar or sarah palin whatever is the property of lord . he's a sir, a lord sir. of lord. he's a sir, a lord sir. i think he's an actual sir. so yeah, lord sugar, sir alan, he isn't tweeting much in moment because he the apprentice is on. so he would be with the bbc. so when the apprentice is not on. yeah. alan sugar, we have to say whatever he wants whatever he wants. okay, but that seems reasonable. it yes. seems reasonable. it yes. seems reasonable. it yes. seems reasonable. i mean the thing with gary lineker is so apparently he had special apparently he had a special agreement davie, the agreement with tim davie, the bbc's yes gary bbc's director general. yes gary lineker bbc all the lineker is on the bbc all the time. he's on every saturday. so for him to tweet at any point

but especially with but this especially with something hypocritical, something so, so hypocritical, something so, so hypocritical, so signalling, so so virtue signalling, so cloyingly of the just so cloyingly sort of the just so anxious way he's demanding that annoying on twitter i'll grant you that. yeah but it wouldn't have more sensible solution here. steve if the bbc just had a broad a, diverse range of presenters who had lots and lots of different types of opinions and you can say whatever you and say you can say whatever you want no could possibly want and then no could possibly complain. then the rule complain. then the same rule would to in that would have to be in place that you whatever you want you can say whatever you want and it would still be that the people who say things that demographics wouldn't demographics agree with wouldn't get you notice get mentioned. but you notice that gary lineker does it and then you get upset isn't then you get upset but isn't written the problem written about. isn't the problem here that the fact that we it is because largely based because the bbc largely based on 99% people present to 99% of the people who present to the bbc or think exactly the same way. so andrew neil was was mentioned this story mentioned loads when this story first all his pro first broke by all of his pro brexit on twitter was brexit commentary on twitter was complained about and i probably was about by some was complained about by some left who didn't left wing types who didn't manage get as much newspaper manage to get as much newspaper coverage wing types coverage is right wing types don't lineker . the don't like gary lineker. the

point will say things point is people will say things that i had no that you don't like. i had no problem andrew neil problem with andrew neil tweeting, whatever i've got no, because i don't them. but because i don't read them. but they going to they go, they're going to representation bbc. representation on the bbc. i mean they a study of comedians on the bbc and of all the comedians who have a sort of open political outlook, nine 98% of them were laughed, leaning and% were jeff northcote . but and% were jeff northcote. but the solution can't be to stop. gary lineker tweeting i think you don't work in use fair game, go for it because it doesn't make me think about just because you earn a bit your living a massive amount of your living from the licence fee doesn't mean we own you 24/7. well this is the though his is this the thing though his political in political tweeting was also in court. he being chased by court. he was being chased by hmrc tax for £5 million of hmrc for tax for £5 million of unpaid tax . and his excuse was . unpaid tax. and his excuse was. oh but look i'm i'm freelance because don't abide by the bbc rules. here's me tweeting all this political nonsense so he's not even doing it to help . he's not even doing it to help. he's doing to bring his tax bill doing it to bring his tax bill down so he doesn't need to pay

towards means that the towards hotel means that the refugees . instinct would be refugees. my instinct would be that bbc should let that the bbc should just let anyone way they do. anyone tweet the way they do. the fact that they don't means that i don't think this is a free issue. if he if he's free speech issue. if he if he's broken contract, he's broken broken his contract, he's broken his different his contract. a different thing, isn't i have thought. isn't it? i would have thought. yeah. the guidelines yeah. i mean the guidelines aren't i don't think aren't they. i don't think specifically they might for specifically they might be for him, but when i went the bbc him, but when i went to the bbc there in my contract there was nothing in my contract about did have about tweeting. but i did have to meeting once about to have meeting once about a joke i did about trump. did you really? why was he's a really? yeah. why was he's not a leader in same way? if i did leader in the same way? if i did a joke about kim jong un, no one would pull me in about bias. maybe would. maybe would. maybe would. maybe they would. oh, ones. okay oh, i did plenty of ones. okay let's move on to this story about a radio active about a missing radio active cylinder the star that cylinder from the star that doesn't in doesn't sound good. staying in thailand, the caesium 137 thailand, mixing the caesium 137 looks not. yeah three looks at the not. yeah three seven and i this is hot on the heels of the in australia heels of the one in australia now talked about that this now we talked about that on this show a little show someone lost a little radioactive something radioactive pebble or something on road in on this big long road in couldn't find it. it's like 800 miles. the risk of, miles. so actually the risk of, you know, it, death is pretty low anyway just because it's a

massive. this is different. massive. yeah this is different. this next to a city this is right next to a city of 40 yeah so this 40 million. yeah so this actually matter. this actually does matter. this really does matter. what's happened as well? why are happened to us as well? why are we paying to radioactive we not paying to radioactive stuff? little stuff? used to be a nice little label side of the label on the side of the radioactive thing. why are people willy nilly just people just willy nilly just dropping them side of the dropping them at the side of the road? they all lost road? but they all have lost that. also, are making that. also, people are making them too small. the happy if you look stuff the look at chernobyl and stuff the roads universe one no roads were huge universe one no they're them same they're making them the same size is a 12 short gum size is like a 12 short gum cartridge like well cartridge and it's like well obviously to obviously somebody's going to lose this is the lose those. yeah, this is the lesson of this. like when it comes to radioactive materials. just careful that just be bit careful with that stuff. big, make it big. stuff. make it big, make it big. the is that 137 decays the good news is that 137 decays through beta particles and that ionised the air about 30 ionised is the air about 30 centimetres. if you're 30 centimetres away from it. yes it's not going to touch you. yeah, but what if you pick it up? a child says, what's up? what if a child says, what's that thing and picks it up that shiny thing and picks it up and swallows it? don't go picking stuff up because people are radioactive are losing radioactive particles left, they left, right, teeny. clearly they i didn't but i didn't know that. but apparently very apparently they're being very sloppy. to sloppy. right. we're going to move oh, we've got

move on now. oh, we've got a break. it's time for a quick break. it's time for a quick break. and i after we've touched upon going to be upon makeup, leo is going to be regaling with jokes. regaling us with his best jokes. i'm going be talking about i'm going to be talking about why cocaine consumption is at record. and i'll be discovering whether take leo to court whether i can take leo to court for me before the show. see you in a minute

and welcome back to headline is your first look at friday's newspapers going to kick off this section with this one from the mayo about it dad jokes also apparently you shouldn't use beef stew as a password. it's not strong enough strong enough now. yeah but professional comedian andrew thought. oh yeah but , that's not the sort of but, that's not the sort of jokes i do. leo oh, i do whimsical. i don't really. unfortunately for me, i did to do i was ukip on champion you were i'm 15 so how would you

have said that before. radicalised into far right policy. how would you have delivered the beef stew joke. i don't know . no, because it's not don't know. no, because it's not good enough. is it okay. can't don't know. no, because it's not go

this bear, and then there's a colander on the bear's head. and i say to my little lad, i always say to my little lad, i don't if that's a colander, don't know if that's a colander, a calendar. i get confused because can both contain because they can both contain dates get that joke yet, dates and. i get that joke yet, but time missus takes but every time my missus takes me bit more, so i'm not me a little bit more, so i'm not sure this research i mean, maybe me a little bit more, so i'm not slmeans research i mean, maybe me a little bit more, so i'm not slmeans the�*arch i mean, maybe me a little bit more, so i'm not slmeans the kids i mean, maybe me a little bit more, so i'm not slmeans the kids getean, maybe me a little bit more, so i'm not slmeans the kids get stronger, 3e it means the kids get stronger, but what they're saying is that the kids like become more because used to that because they're so used to that dad's embarrassing. dad's really embarrassing. so i saw kid with colander on saw my kid with a colander on her and it was really big. her head and it was really big. i massive. i mean, i said those massive. i mean, did you just come up with that? just up with. all right. no, because that's what can do. you could just come up with puns in any. marvin. marvin gaye any. yeah. marvin. marvin gaye used to keep a sheep in my vineyard. he'd heard it through the this his the grapevine. this is his superpower. the superpower. yeah that's the supermarket. so the israeli minister the other said minister the other day said said , can't email me. i'm , leo, you can't email me. i'm not hotmail. hotmail, i said, benjamin . okay, moving on, benjamin. okay, moving on, because it is quite embarrassing. i think that article's got it spot on. what about this article from friday's mail nick. sorry. i mean steve wow. that's never happened

before. i'm not sure what for. things just happened that this is about a dating app someone's made a dating app and then they said, i'll tell you what the problem the whinging problem is, it's the whinging easily. that easily. offended feminists that have romance i have ruined romance that i imagine probably upsets them. imagine is probably upsets them. yeah if they want to easily you've managed it so this person called jenny smith who wanted create an app to try and help her daughter find else. her daughter find someone else. i mean that's desperate it would just the it doesn't. yeah just pull the it doesn't. yeah you how i mean there are you know how i mean there are already they exist apps. yeah it's bit creepy actually the way it's bit creepy actually the way it's going to be because specific out for this one person. yeah it's like it's like a parent setting up a blind date and you tips it never and giving you tips it never mind harvesting your mind tick tock harvesting your data this i'm definitely data this is this i'm definitely to harvesting our data and to be harvesting our data and sending mum. but what sending it to our mum. but what do mean? steve this article do they mean? steve this article is about how whingeing feminists are is are making things worse is because they they don't like chivalry. is that what that's the this saying, that the take on this saying, that they don't like anything someone do hold the door open to do if you hold the door open to someone that could be someone and they that could be offend it's patronising. offend because it's patronising. but that's data but i think that's good data

collection you hold collection you know if you hold door for someone and they door open for someone and they are out the door are offended walk out the door and see that person, and never see that person, it's better out quickly better to find out quickly rather than through the course. i it. mary love it when i love it. mary love it when people doors to me and people hold doors open to me and buy and get me flowers buy my meals and get me flowers . it's lovely happen . i think it's lovely to happen . never but i think it'd be great and i don't think it would be offensive as a woman for that to happen and i know i speak on behalf of women, obviously, but i can't win if you i also you can't win if you don't do it. like so many women we whatsapp first, we see on whatsapp saying first, first many women, first dates and so many women, you see it popping up on on on twitter and stuff to say. i went on a date with man and he on a date with this man and he was he said we go dutch was he said we had to go dutch andifs was he said we had to go dutch and it's like, yes, 20, 23 is like, know, we can go dutch like, you know, we can go dutch because you've got there's no gender but gender pay gap anymore. but is this a of myth? i mean, this a bit of a myth? i mean, you we hear about this about feminists that they annoyed if you the door open. don't you hold the door open. i don't think happens. does think it actually happens. does it? met feminist it? i've never met a feminist who will get annoyed if who i think will get annoyed if you open a door. it depends what you open a door. it depends what you do with. the other your other hand they walk through

decency about it. decency to feel better about it. the after. no, this seems the day after. no, this seems like a terrible story, doesn't it? actually really it? it actually is a really awful story. yeah the way it's phrased is like, well, it's they're really well. they they're doing really well. they they've achieved something like they've achieved something like they've gone on dragon's den. yeah. the arctic. it's like yeah. like the arctic. it's like demand surges. so. yes, come on. we shouldn't be cheering these people on are very few british success stories . so are county success stories. so are county lines, gangs. there's something we can. we can. this is not a good story. okay, well, look, we're going to move on to this now. this one is an what it's about hugging. yeah, steve. and it is difficult, isn't it because some are more because some people are more tactile others. what's tactile than others. what's this? what's the story saying? tactile than others. what's this? widifficult. story saying? tactile than others. what's this? widifficult. story saying? tactile than others. what's this? widifficult. story isling? it's not difficult. story is saying you work saying should you hug, work colleagues it's not it colleagues the is no it's not it that's not their answer it's my happy place . this is the metro happy place. this is the metro this story, the is though steve what i should say is that, you know, if you've ever worked in the theatre, you try and put a clamp down on hugs and will never get cast again because. you have to hug after every little triumph, you know,

someone line. someone delivers a line. well they know, they get a hug. you know, someone arrives on time. they get working . well, get stroked working. well, maybe i what now i've i should work. what the now i've worked in media like someone you've things you've met once before things it's you've met once before things wsfime you've met once before things it's time to hug and kiss get back up i never know how many ehhen back up i never know how many either. people going like either. people going for like one. don't know. are they one. you don't know. are they going do four now. i going for two? we do four now. i used have an agent who used to have an agent who insisted on three, right? yeah you know, and was to you know, and i was trying to guess that number. i look like an introvert i don't an idiot as an introvert i don't really much of this. really like too much of this. this is why i spend a lot of my time teaching introvert self—defence. when someone comes in throat in for a hug punch, the throat and, then present your hand for and, then present your hand for a that allowed in a shake and that be allowed in the oh, definitely. the workplace. oh, definitely. you'll punch it. i mean, this is this article actually cites this case in uk of one who case in the uk of one who received a payout, actually actually a money because she actually got a money because she sued because someone at work her from behind without consent. yeah that's that's dodgy but that i saw that might happen tonight. i saw happened earlier one of the producers someone else came producers had someone else came forth was a sweet it was like forth it was a sweet it was like how you if you know person then

it's then it's fine these because all these i remember a few years ago all these female comedians posting see these male comedians posting see these male comedians coming in, hugging me, singing, i was like very careful not to, but sometimes they come in for the hug anyway they not to, but sometimes they come in flike e hug anyway they not to, but sometimes they come in flike stand anyway they not to, but sometimes they come in flike stand and vay they not to, but sometimes they come in flike stand and try they not to, but sometimes they come in flike stand and try and they not to, but sometimes they come in flike stand and try and hug' got like stand and try and hug them like some sort of autistic japanese robot. try not to put your anywhere. that could your hands anywhere. that could be sex crazy. be construed as a sex crazy. i would have thought that since the the would gone the pandemic the hugs would gone out weren't even out because we weren't even shaking were doing shaking hands. we were doing that weird elbow thing. yeah and but are back as far as but the hugs are back as far as i see, but lots of people i can see, but lots of people trying me. yeah. and trying to hug me. yeah. and i think maybe it's you. think that maybe it's just you. you've got a thing it's a i'm just love magnetism. it's i have some of magnetism i think some kind of magnetism i think we elbow things we should keep the elbow things on shaking hands. would on like shaking hands. why would i the part my body i want to rub the part my body that i prepare sandwiches with against part of your body against the part of your body that i don't know you get that i don't know what you get up with that. and also it up to with that. and also it originally from showing originally comes from showing that a weapon but that you don't have a weapon but you know, these people can you know, these days people can carry in their other carry the weapon. in their other hand clever. yeah. yeah. no hand they clever. yeah. yeah. no interesting. okay. going hand they clever. yeah. yeah. no intmove 1g. okay. going hand they clever. yeah. yeah. no intmove 1g. to ay. going hand they clever. yeah. yeah. no

intmove 1g. to ay. finalgoing hand they clever. yeah. yeah. no intmove 1g. to ay. final story to move on to this final story now that we've got and this is a to do with generation z and this is about gesture. so we're is about a gesture. so we're back back to the hands. back to that back to the hands. so z, people claim so generation z, people claim that this hand gesture is way more than the middle more offensive than the middle finger victims. what finger or the two victims. what hand what gestures, thumbs down, thumbs colosseum like thumbs down. colosseum like comedies river, thumbs down. colosseum like conguyes river, thumbs down. colosseum like conguy the river, thumbs down. colosseum like conguy the guy river, thumbs down. colosseum like conguy the guy who river, thumbs down. colosseum like conguy the guy who invented the guy the guy who invented toilets. the so giving the thumbs down because it is used as a sign of on social media. so what does it mean? it's true. it's upsetting or it's like violence or something. she was she was driving. i believe she was driving. and somebody gave her thumbs down. she started her the thumbs down. she started crying worse than crying because it was worse than getting flipped off. but i some i sometimes send the thumbs down emoji when i don't want something he's not really an aggressive thing now. should i stop doing should i be for stop doing that? should i be for that? so that generation definitely. i was two definitely. i was about two years was a story years ago. there was a story that z find full to be that gen z find full to be offensive. what's not even kidding means you have to kidding which means you have to end every question every sentence was a question i wasn't cross i was told i was a teacher that shouldn't mock and read
