flattering you on the outside. you look great as. flattering you on the outside. you look great as . well, man. you look great as. well, man. that's what i was fishing for. but you took a suspiciously long time to get to the compliment. oh, it's just my oh, it's just myself. my earrings. you're are earrings. yeah. you're are wonderful. good hair. yeah. not my tie. very nice, but coordinating all about me anyway. we're going to have a quick look at the front cover of thursday's front page. it's going with the daily going to start with the daily mail, runs harman's mail, which runs harman's face was thunder boris was as agile as a cat . pure was thunder boris was as agile as a cat. pure box was thunder boris was as agile as a cat . pure box office. but as a cat. pure box office. but after four nitpicking hours had . a single mind been changed. a very dramatised headline of the inquiry into boris johnson. the guardian is running with flimsy the partygate answers leave johnson on the brink and the telegraph with the same theme, but from a different angle johnson besieged, but defiant and.the johnson besieged, but defiant and. the express has boris hand on heart. i did not lie to the house and the sun goes a bit differently goes will's freedom fighter prince in secret mission to ukraine border and the daily star back to the boris johnson. yeah but. no but yeah but no but

pinocchio clears up all the faff about parties outnumber ten and those where your front pages pages. those where your front pages pages . okay we're those where your front pages pages. okay we're going to kick off with thursday's mail. and obviously this is josh, isn't it? it's obviously this is josh, isn't it.7 it's obviously it's the big story boris johnson has his hair. yeah. and he does . he has hair. yeah. and he does. he has made an effort. i mean, you know, you know how serious this story exactly this is like the state of our nation is dependent on how well quaffed he is because he didn't even do that when he went to ukraine. you know, total disrespect for the ukrainians and, what they're going through. absolutely. when it own skin it comes to saving his own skin suddenly going put suddenly he's going to put some i'm maybe just i'm jealous i'm maybe it's just i'm jealous before tweets. well before anybody tweets. well before anybody tweets. well before we get there so talk us through so obviously through this. yeah. so obviously what we've had today, we had nearly four hour interrogation of him before the committee to defend himself for the crux of

it being that he , whether he it being that he, whether he lied or not, knowingly , i think, lied or not, knowingly, i think, deliberately misled parliament. and because he's lying , he and because he's lying, he essentially said no, i didn't do anything wrong . yeah, that is anything wrong. yeah, that is what he said at the time. and now he's saying, well, to as as far as he knew at the time, he didn't do anything wrong . and didn't do anything wrong. and that's where, you know, he's the guy who came up with the rules. oh, yes. he should he should know that. he should have known. but then in his defence he's saying that, know, downing saying that, you know, downing street century street is a 19th century townhouse. very narrow , townhouse. it's very narrow, cramped. that they cramped. he thought that they were distancing were observed social distancing rules possible. rules as much was possible. champagne it's really important that you might be close to some. you're not the only person who you're talking. you're here. yeah, i agree. sarah vine at the mail. i think it wasn't just about this was . it, it's about about this was. it, it's about the whole past years. it's just, i mean, at the very least, it's in bad, bad taste it when we're all sitting at unable to see our loved ones and you feel some rage . oh, absolutely. i mean, rage. oh, absolutely. i mean, the thing is that there were

people you know, some of frontline work was fined £500 a sitting in their car after a shift, eating some fast food . so shift, eating some fast food. so the idea that he's he's breaking the idea that he's he's breaking the rules that he said doesn't make me angry. yeah, okay. but we can all talk about the breaking the rules. but the key about this is whether he did it. there was any mendacity here. it strikes me that from what i've seen far from the committee, seen so far from the committee, they to prove mendacity. they be able to prove mendacity. they this they might come up with this verdict say it was reckless verdict and say it was reckless , they can't prove. mean, , but they can't prove. i mean, the only gun they've got the only smoking gun they've got is testimony. dominic is the testimony. dominic cummings say that's a cummings we might say that's a slightly partisan source given that out for vengeance and, that he's out for vengeance and, has much admitted you can has pretty much admitted you can never someone's never prove what someone's actually that's point actually thinking. that's point of the time, isn't it.7 then what, boris johnson said was, look, believe that this is all look, i believe that this is all for work purposes. he for essential work purposes. he still were still basically said was we were following the guidance to the best of our right now as is pointed out by sabine bernard jenkin , a senior tory mp and who jenkin, a senior tory mp and who was very much on the attack

against boris johnson. yeah if bofis against boris johnson. yeah if boris johnson had said that in then there wouldn't be any of this. there wouldn't be a problem. he was so emphatic there were no rules broken and. can you see how however that how might actually work in boris's favour as favour ultimately and as far as a of people who him a lot of people who support him at think that this is at the moment think that this is like cabal, a cabal who like a cabal, a cabal who basically want to prevent him from into number 10 from going into number 10 ultimately. know, that ultimately. and you know, that probably happen. i don't probably won't happen. i don't think going trigger think this is going to trigger a by—election because they don't have to that have sufficient as to say that he delivered badly misled parliament. that's thing parliament. that's the key thing didn't don't didn't have that do they don't but time i don't but at the same time i don't understand who are still understand people who are still supporting at supporting him when you know at the date. yes flimsy nature of assurances . is sure but i'm just assurances. is sure but i'm just talking about what the committee is there to achieve and i just don't think it achieve anything. there is a smoking gun here in that sense. yes, but i still think that anybody with half a brain. people still brain. why are people still defending terms of lied like defending in terms of lied like he did it's obvious he he did wrong. it's obvious he did wrong when you want to say

prove it but come on he was running country knew the running the country he knew the rules. said i do rules. he said i didn't do anything and there's all anything wrong. and there's all these doing. would you these photos doing. would you take that this could be take my point that this could be interpreted as partisan interpreted as a partisan affair, might be, you affair, that this might be, you know, perceive it to be know, people perceive it to be the case johnson the the case that johnson is the only theories. only one bercy theories. no, it's not is a insofar as a it's not this is a insofar as a lot of people believe that lot of people do believe that johnson's only person johnson's the only person who could possibly starmer could possibly, possibly starmer that soon wouldn't a that soon it wouldn't have a chance. and know, ultimately chance. and you know, ultimately that be be that this might be might be interpreted i think interpreted in that way. i think that think it doesn't and that i think it doesn't and then, like you said, it could be interpreted i interpreted that way. but i think actually wrong. think actually they're wrong. i don't think that anybody is going starmer don't think that anybody is goini starmer don't think that anybody is goini don't starmer don't think that anybody is goini don't think starmer don't think that anybody is goini don't think that starmer don't think that anybody is goini don't think that he rmer don't think that anybody is goini don't think that he would and i don't think that he would say better than rishi sunak say any better than rishi sunak who seems have actually been. all prime minister all right. as a prime minister he's like certainly hasn't he's not like certainly hasn't destroyed the country like some some ones have. and some other ones have. and just like one and fun thing, like say one more and fun thing, there something quite there was something quite despicable within boris testimony said that if testimony where he said that if it was so obvious, there was rule breaking, it would rule breaking, then it would been obvious to others, including rishi sunak essentially trying to bring rishi sunak that's like

rishi sunak down. that's like weasely behaviour, that's really not cool. that's well if you're going to bring me down, got to bnng going to bring me down, got to bring him down. it's almost as though and have some though boris and rishi have some bad well, it is almost bad blood. well, it is almost like that that is really like think that that is really but it is poor behaviour. but in his defence it's also true it i mean i feel that way of anybody that any of any of these do that was any of any of these do you not feel as many people do that the committee has sort of already made its and that it made decision before made its decision before it started so—called started analysing this so—called evidence. don't evidence. i don't know. i don't know. i don't know . you know. i know. i don't know. you don't think you think. it's definitely so putting the question to, know, don't question to, you know, i don't i don't know. i think it could go either way. okay. i do like sarah writing here. she sarah vine's writing here. she gets very sort of allegorical and he sees this as biggest and he sees this as the biggest court johnny depp . court case since johnny depp. and it's like, i think you're reaching here just a little bit. and although think he's, a, and although i think he's, a, he's a buccaneer a charming he's a buccaneer and a charming just like jack sparrow, but she makes good choice. good makes a good choice. good question is after these question. which is after these 4 hours, has a single mind been changed? my feeling is changed? because my feeling is

very that if you're pro very much that if you're pro johnson, you will be. and if you're anti johnson, you still will. think there is will. but i do think there is any i don't anybody's any cut. i don't think anybody's mind change on any mind will ever change on any particular topic ever particular topic that we ever talk about i don't know talk about now. oh, i don't know that like to think people that i'd like to think people are still capable of, really having an open mind. i've got an open mind. oh yeah, i mean, i don't know. let's see. don't know. okay, let's see. i can persuade you something can persuade you or something later. earrings later. okay those earrings suck like those earrings all like those earrings and all that. lovely. was. just that. lovely. it was. just try to. that's outrageous right. okay. moving on to a soft spot . okay. moving on to a soft spot. press. what's the telegraph running with ? telegraph running running with? telegraph running with? well, they're also they've also got johnson on the front cover busy strangling cover of post busy strangling silent . yeah he looks enraged . silent. yeah he looks enraged. the cult of boris. yeah. so but they've also got this other story they're about not naming suspects. put justice at risk . suspects. put justice at risk. yes. what's this? it's only a small article down at the bottom of the front cover, but crucial nonetheless. what's going here? secret police plan . see sex secret police plan. see sex offenders names withheld from public. offenders names withheld from pubuc.so offenders names withheld from public. so so what would that mean? that would mean plans

being put forward to potential protect the identity of . alleged protect the identity of. alleged sex offenders pre trial. but if so, the idea is that if people are charged because at the moment if people are charged their are released well that's in order preserve transparency. it's not definite but the current wording should be released. there is some released. so there is some discretion . there was the discretion. there was the wording would be moved to can be released . and obviously lots of released. and obviously lots of people are concerned about this because say that once someone is charged in the name is publicised, this often leads to other victims coming forward because of course they've seen so sense but josh so that makes sense but josh isn't some here that isn't there some point here that actually sometimes are actually sometimes there are occasions think maybe occasions where you think maybe withholding the name might be wise for if you take the example of you of operation midland where you have fantasist who have a complete fantasist who has incriminated all these people and other people did come forward because other fantasist or people after money or whatever forward and said, yeah, yeah, they it to me too. and yeah, they did it to me too. and completely innocent people such harvey as john harvey proctor, such as john

piccini , paul mccartney, those piccini, paul mccartney, those sorts of people. i'll drive through the mud needlessly and if you search their names now, what comes up is sex offences. even though they were innocent? yeah. no, it's a real tricky one because you have the former police officer , david garrett, police officer, david garrett, he was arrested and they didn't reveal his name and he was let off . it only later on off. and it was only later on when the other when wayne cousins , his crime was cousins, his crime was committed. yes. that more people stepped forward. so had stepped forward. so if they had his the time, the his name at the time, the argument is that more people would have stepped in and then he have got away with he wouldn't have got away with it. yeah. absolutely it. yeah. so it's absolutely it's between some it's a balance between some innocent people. and, know, innocent people. and, you know, we people want to we had yes. people want to commit suicide because that and some successfully committing suicide been falsely suicide. they've been falsely accused. a case just accused. so isn't it a case just finding i mean, isn't the language what they're going for is for the most is they're saying for the most part, release of part, we release names of charged there might charged people, but there might be circumstances be some circumstances where where the option where discretion or the option is the police. is is available to the police. is that what's happening? yeah, that's not good idea because discretion police , we've discretion and the police, we've got things. that's got to write things. that's problem, isn't it. because you

are don't you are relying on. but don't you think overall got come think overall we've got come down until proven down on innocent until proven just because that's how we do legal things i would say we need due process absolutely because once get rid of that, you once you get rid of that, you don't have a but that's but they're saying they they're not saying when they release of people release the names of people who've charged not who've been charged not necessarily they're not necessarily saying they're not saying but the saying these are guilty but the impact of a name impact of having a name publicised in with such a crime is the same , isn't it. because is the same, isn't it. because that's what people run to. yeah. once you've been then people assume that well there's no smoke and fire. yeah this is a difficult one. there is something telegraph something on the daily telegraph that's interesting is for that's also interesting is for some cult says that some reason the cult says that the of boris and brexit simultaneously imploding. now this newspaper this is from a newspaper traditionally a very pro—brexit very pro boris johnson. so the idea that they've got this editorial up front which is kind of seems to be going, wait a minute , but isn't that quite minute, but isn't that quite good that they sort of well, maybe they have different views . maybe we did it. maybe i did it. thanks there we go. two in this section that we're going to

look front page the look at the front page of the sun, they've for a totally different boris sun, they've for a totally diffedidt boris sun, they've for a totally diffe did will's boris sun, they've for a totally diffe did will's the boris sun, they've for a totally diffe did will's the freedom is and did will's the freedom fighter prince and secret mission to border. so there it is. it goes to poland and he's sort of picking up all the people for nato and there's a lovely photo of him on a lovely photo. well i mean, is that all i anybody who's polled gets my a—okay if you remember that photo, chris, i think he was wearing red earrings . think he wearing red earrings. think he would look a bit. so leave alone for sure. i think that's really unfortunate. they've caught just in a bizarre facial expression. i think they could have done the same. that's his freedom fighter expression. oh that's what he looks like. he's a yes. but i think there's nothing wrong with him going out there and making gestures. you know, it's what is that to complain about? gestures. you know, it's what is that to complain about ? okay. that to complain about? okay. those are the front pages. but after the break, we're going to discuss image of donald discuss the image of donald trump handcuffs why the trump in handcuffs why the gender reform bill apparently helped the snp and one of the worst free lessons all time. see

you in a few minutes.

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 and you could get help with heating bills and more, plus up to £900 in cost of living payments.

and welcome back to headliners, your first look at thursday's newspapers with me, andrew doyle and. my two of the best comedians gb news money can buy. it's josh , harry and cressida it's josh, harry and cressida wetton . let's kick things off wetton. let's kick things off with story from the times and about our prime minister being absolutely minted he is. rishi sunak tax returns shows he made 5 million in three years. this isn't really a surprise anyone, but it says he paid some a 20% rate charge on capital gains. now i don't earn enough to understand any of what capital gains is, but it kind of makes me ashamed to be british story because he only like 1.7 million a year. yeah, that's essentially it's saying and it's like it's like we're some kind of third world country. yeah because

prime other prime ministers in other countries leaders, surely countries and, leaders, surely they're raking. when the sultan of makes lot more. of brunei makes lot more. exactly. now i like exactly. and now i feel like rishi should really up his rishi sunak should really up his game income. game in terms of income. cressida, why is news? we all knew sunak fabulously knew the rishi sunak fabulously wealthy. we did am not sure it is news, but he's the first prime minister to do this since david so we've had david cameron. so we've had a few that done it. yes so few that haven't done it. yes so i guess he's a good guy. he's like being open when he did it dunng like being open when he did it during boris's testimony today. oh so that's clever. is that like wearing white to a wedding and he's just trying to well he's doing at a time when the news are going to skip over it, but not didn't theresa may published returns she did published a tax returns she did before was appointment before she was appointment esther right truss esther right now liz truss didn't could be that didn't it but it could be that she was like she had them already and then it all over she didn't have time. well was didn't have time. well that was i she sort of i've guys i say she sort of i've got guys i've i've got my oh i'm not i've got i've got my oh i'm not prime minister anymore. poor liz truss. we're going to move to truss. we're going to move on to this one from the guardian on a rather troublesome listen,

rather troublesome ari. listen, cressida west school criticise after gay after death threats to gay muslims. like an muslims. this looks like an absolute this viral absolute mess. this a viral video, yes watched it. video, right? yes watched it. it's horrible. so what took us through what happened here? so it school have invited a gay it was school have invited a gay muslim speaker to talk to the kids about that . yes and some of kids about that. yes and some of these children muslim . and these children muslim. and they're him to task on they're taking him to task on they're taking him to task on the idea that you can gay and muslim. he says you can they say you and it's just kind of you can't and it's just kind of erupted into this very antagonistic session. but it's not it? it's just not a muslim, is it? it's just lot of things. so i think it's not just in an area not the school just in an area where a of muslims where there's a lot of muslims okay. now this is really okay. so now this is really obviously this bit of a hot obviously this is a bit of a hot topic, isn't it? and this article makes it very unclear on who is blaming who exactly. oh, hey hey, everybody. we agree hey hey, everybody. we all agree that we go okay. right. josh do you because it's which you think because it's which it's minorities. more money it is and it's so in the guardian they have tried to sort of hedge their bets and this is what they do. sometimes they don't want to anybody gay and anybody essentially gay and muslims sort of written this

muslims so sort of written this article that you can't really get the gist of who they keep talking about the parents group . yeah they said not like they don't is and don't what their position is and basically have to really focus. you have to do your own research. you find, oh it's actually a sort of for the muslim is what they're saying okay it's this group and they don't ever sort honestly say don't ever sort of honestly say that throw you because it that they throw you because it says that the parents group wanted for the wanted an apology for the speaker a of a but speaker which is a bit of a but actually know this something actually you know this something that really do have to talk that we really do have to talk about. mean they have the about. i mean they have the survey there is survey shows that there is a significant proportion some have as of muslims in the as a majority of muslims in the uk that homosexuals uk who believe that homosexuals should criminalised. think uk who believe that homosexuals srwasi criminalised. think uk who believe that homosexuals srwas over:riminalised. think uk who believe that homosexuals srwas over 50%1alised. think uk who believe that homosexuals srwas over 50% lasted. think uk who believe that homosexuals srwas over 50% last time. hink uk who believe that homosexuals srwas over 50% last time. there it was over 50% last time. there was major survey this. now, was a major survey on this. now, that's bad because a lot that's really bad because a lot of a lot muslim muslims are of a lot of muslim muslims are 93v- of a lot of muslim muslims are gay. these and of gay. right so these and some of these muslim kids will be gay. and it's actually quite important see important think for them to see a gay muslim. they're saying actually that's okay, this actually that's okay, not this evil think it evil thing that i think it causes tolerance. that's causes tolerance. and that's what meant to about. what the uk meant to be about. and this is what even one of the teachers this, you teachers said. why is this, you say? it speak of

say? why is it speak of a teacher he? he was so angry and i thought that's either a teacher that's just had to be a teacher that's just had to be a teacher for a long time and it's very difficult. and just very difficult. and he's just blown yes oh, i don't blown his top. yes oh, i don't know. guess he personally very know. i guess he personally very passionate about it. i mean, it's a tricky because, you know, i believe religious i do believe in religious freedom and you believe that homosexuality is a sin. you entitled to believe that. but the reality there are the reality is that there are gay it's quite helpful for gay and it's quite helpful for young gay muslims particular young gay muslims in particular to of that. right? of to be aware of that. right? of course and i feel like course it is. and i feel like the has just really let the school has just really let down as well because down the pupils as well because the school is sort of apologising sort apologising and trying to sort of appease this group or whatever and just go, wait a minute, homosexuality totally minute, homosexuality is totally fine. issue with fine. if you have an issue with that, that's problem. that, that's your problem. and that's school has that's not what the school has done here. backtracked like every other school and. well, yes. with yes. and it's of like with batley backtracked batley grammar they backtracked know when someone was getting death i just think death threats. i just think a stand be yeah absolutely. stand be brave yeah absolutely. okay from okay what about this from the mail chinese just worried mail about chinese just worried about china. well, speaking of bravery country bravery china's a great country is i'm a big fan. bravery china's a great country is i'm a big fan . i think is i'm a big fan. i think

britain's worried about the growing global influence china. a new poll has revealed it was nine in ten, but actually managed to get in there and change it . so yeah, essentially change it. so yeah, essentially , china is not a benign force of good to the world. no. well, you know i mean, sinek himself has cited this issue , their cited this issue, their aggressive stance in the south china sea, with china sort of pushing nobody's official there has he's just said they're not a threat. they're just an epoch challenge. know he's challenge. yes, i know he's being euphemistic and a bit mealy mouthed, but is talking mealy mouthed, but he is talking about treatment the weak, mealy mouthed, but he is talking abihe treatment the weak, mealy mouthed, but he is talking abihe has treatment the weak, mealy mouthed, but he is talking abihe has mentioned the weak, mealy mouthed, but he is talking abihe has mentioned that; weak, mealy mouthed, but he is talking abihe has mentioned that it'seak, as he has mentioned that it's not it's not like committing genocide. yes, exactly. genocide. china. yes, exactly. so and, you know, you have to say that's sort stance on taiwan so and, you know, you have to sapretty s sort stance on taiwan so and, you know, you have to sapretty explicit ance on taiwan so and, you know, you have to sapretty explicit and�* on taiwan so and, you know, you have to sapretty explicit and they're nan is pretty explicit and they're talking want to talking about how they want to have by, what, i think have it by, what, 2025? i think they saying. yeah, they're they were saying. yeah, they're not . and maybe not messing about. and maybe although all of these leaders are staying a bit harsh are sort of staying a bit harsh because let's face it china probably world, you probably will run the world, you know so they want to just be know and so they want to just be like, well, let's look after ourselves. right? that what's

ourselves. right? is that what's going certainly going on? well, they certainly already chunk of already control a chunk of it from investments with in from their investments with in africa. they put billions around the of bring on all the to sort of bring on all these countries and these countries to side and giving massive voting giving them a massive voting block. they are supporting russia and but the thing is, unlike america even though all people issues with america people have issues with america and uke people have issues with america and like they are and stuff like that, they are a despot run country. yeah, it's not great on human rights , let's not great on human rights, let's just put it that way . so in that just put it that way. so in that case, christopher, given that not brilliant on human rights and you know we've seen the treatment of the weak us should be taking more of a an overt stance on china and sort of you know, pulling out super should be saying making them an official an official threat is that well well that's the question is that too far to sort of position them in that way wouldn't be enough to just be a bit more robust in terms of the criticism . well, so you're criticism. well, so you're saying perhaps he should publicly diss the chinese this the chinese is exactly . i was the chinese is exactly. i was thinking, yeah, he should release a rap song. hey eight in

ten brits. but when you get into the how many people are chinese goods, it all gets quite wishy washy at that point. it's like open because they have some great stuff they got loads great stuff know i mean get stuff and you know i mean i get all my games, they're all all my bowl games, they're all made china. yeah they're arriving the post and look arriving in the post and look i'm robustly against china's aggressive in the south aggressive stance in the south china i'm not up china sea but i'm not giving up some some of the toys. of some of the some of the toys. of course not. mean, i'm not course not. i mean, i'm not a hypocrite no. that well hypocrite no. that just well made. yeah right. next made. yeah yeah. right. next story. the guardian story. not from the guardian about adult about donald trump and adult film the pair of film star and the pair of handcuffs. trump wants handcuffs. president trump wants to for a court to be handcuff for a court appearance in stormy daniels . of appearance in stormy daniels. of course, say, of course course, he does say, of course does. wants it to be dramatic does. he wants it to be dramatic wants it to be able to appear like he this is going like a he thinks this is going to play into his hands, his advisers, not so sure about that. no. but, you know, i think he might be right. look, trump was the one who he didn't tweeted out because not on tweeted out because he's not on twitter, he put it on twitter, but he put it out on social. i'm to be arrested on tuesday. just tuesday. apparently, he just heard grapevine. of heard on the grapevine. but of course would help him. his whole

shtick is that there's an establishment that are against me and they arrest me me and they can arrest me they're going to lock up and they're going to lock me up and that's going up base. that's going to up his base. this exactly want of. this is exactly what i want of. course he wants to be in how i think is genius. first of all, him being handcuffed, that mirrors the between him mirrors the tryst between him and i don't and stormy daniels. but i don't know details what know the details of what happened there. i'm assuming that it's that was another is it's actually it's good because the only way to ensure that he doesn't any women's lady doesn't grab any women's lady beds. there is that so beds. well, there is that so it's precautionary yeah it's just a precautionary yeah it's just a precautionary yeah it's can't stop it's just because he can't stop himself. what do you think about this? course. mean, in all this? of course. i mean, in all seriousness if the seriousness this, if it is the case that he paid off stormy daniels in the day, it was daniels back in the day, it was now back five years now going back five years that would misdemeanour, which would be a misdemeanour, which according of according the statute of limitations viable. limitations isn't really viable. that's the issue is. that's really what the issue is. the issue is he pay off what the issue is he did pay off what the problem is that then the problem is that he then basically used personal checks the problem is that he then ba pay.ly used personal checks the problem is that he then ba pay.ly us

scared and i think tenuous. well, is he broke the law well, the is he broke the law and if he broke law, they're going to go after him. i don't think enough this, think there's enough to this, though. they're well though. well, they're both. well think feel like there think that they feel like there is mean, cashed what is enough. i mean, cashed what was he got these was it, £130,000. he got these checks that he sent, but it's a bit when tried to have him bit when they tried to have him impeached, like impeached, you know, like not paying impeached, you know, like not paving, impeached, you know, like not paying , it impeached, you know, like not paying, it just helps his case of this stuff. as you say , that of this stuff. as you say, that he might not be allowed to do this. tony, alvin bragg is saying he might not let him appearin saying he might not let him appear in his. i saying he might not let him appear in his . i believe you appear in his. i believe you know, i believe from what read that legal consensus this that the legal consensus on this is that there isn't much of a case all. and case that they case at all. and case that they do classified as a do have is classified as a misdemeanour therefore can't misdemeanour and therefore can't be so just i think be prosecuted. so i just i think this on i thought the this is on wise. i thought the impeachment unwise. impeachment was unwise. his popularity the popularity went up. i think the christian. you're right. christian. yeah. you're right. the christian fundamentalist fan base will be like, base part of it will be like, yeah , brilliant. he paid yeah, brilliant. look, he paid off adult sex doll that he off that adult sex doll that he slept with . and of course, we slept with. and of course, we don't for sure. he denies don't know for sure. he denies it, say, for balance. it, i should say, for balance. he he slept stormy he denies that he slept stormy daniels. that was just daniels. yeah, that was just $180,000, know, fine .

$180,000, you know, just fine. oh, come on, we will pay people off just to get it out of it. look, i'm here. i know every go, okay? ending section now with thursday's times . what's this thursday's times. what's this one about? this is a bit one about? josh, this is a bit a case of denial. oh, i think the use. my i really use. oh, my gosh. he i really hope wins that he's obviously hope he wins that he's obviously one contenders one of the leadership contenders for the snp. no, because he will just drive them the ground just drive them into the ground . not the brightest ball. . he is not the brightest ball. this headline bill this is headline gender. bill roh boosted for snp suggests he's in a fog to sell. this is when the snp has lost 30,000 members. over the last year , a members. over the last year, a good chunk of them imagine women . yes. who are very upset with them putting through this bill them putting through this bill the public in scotland and rest of the uk also are against this bill. yes, this whole idea that sturgeon was putting through this bill, two thirds of the electorate in scotland were against it. it's the idea. humza humza yousaf. yeah, this boosted the opposite of the truth. these is a welcome behaviour. well, this is what he's saying. so what you're saying they've what you're saying is they've lost more than 30,000 because

he's talking about churn isn't it. if he, if he's saying that actually people like this, we know they've lost 30,000. yeah so maybe they've lost more than that. you know, that. i think he's, you know, they've gained some people humza yousaf mean he would be the yousaf i mean he would be the worst thing happen to the snp worst thing to happen to the snp if he leader he's actually vowing to build up the progressive he thinks progressive agenda. he thinks that he says wouldn't amend that he says he wouldn't amend the ignore the bill he would ignore westminster all of westminster even after all of this get and this this he still get it. and this is the man he put through is also the man he put through that speech that draconian hate speech legislation can legislation which said we can prosecute you stuff you say prosecute you for stuff you say your home. man is your own home. the man is a lunatic has now been lunatic he has now been recommend it to be charged with of course. yeah. because someone could submit complaints could you can submit complaints on other people's behalf . yes. on other people's behalf. yes. because misgendered the because he misgendered the person . so a complaint has been person. so a complaint has been put in him, which he said, of course, would happen when he was pushing that through. but of course it well, he set up these parameters. he said it's all about the perception of the victim. and that's now well, there's now a victim complaint, but case of but is the classic case of people being caught in a bubble

and he's about the and he's talking about the support got, particularly support he's got, particularly amongst younger members amongst our younger members who've this is just who've told that this is just like going to a like corbyn going to a few cranky jewish people, and then going, oh, they think it's okay. so everything's okay. you hear what hear ? yeah, what you want to hear? yeah, absolutely. okay, we're absolutely. saying, okay, we're going a break. we going to move on to a break. we have take a contractually have to take a contractually mandated but mandated break now but afterwards got tree afterwards we've got tree felling the name of the felling in the name of the environment by beethoven's adulterers and josh is going to vibe out hard, whatever that means. see you in 2 minutes. yemen .

okay, welcome to headline as your first look at thursday's a news papers this is thursday's now and how is this eco warrior council gone too far. now and how is this eco warrior council gone too far . they might council gone too far. they might have done council backs plan to tear down 500 trees to build a

bus route to fight climate change, to fight climate change. well, you talked me through that the claim that if they cut down these trees there, a lovely old orchard near cambridge that they're to save between 90 they're going to save between 90 and 210. second inns on a bus journey . right. and therefore, journey. right. and therefore, presumably use the presumably more people use the route and therefore it will help climate change. but don't the trees well, you trees climate change? well, you would think, wouldn't you? i know what trees? i mean, how know what 500 trees? i mean, how do do the maths? i don't do you do the maths? i don't i don't think anyone's attempted but looking at those they but looking at those trees, they look you know, are big look like, you know, are big natural the atmosphere natural lungs for the atmosphere aren't boston aren't they. little boston between get a small between them and you get a small little a rickshaw those little a rickshaw one of those trains goes that would trains that goes that would employ as well and they employ people as well and they set of beer that well set a cup of beer that well i'm sort animal like to see sort of animal i'd like to see that way to work so look this is weird it does feel a bit double speak doesn't it. so the council are we're going to are saying we're going to bulldoze and in the bulldoze these trees and in the name yeah, name of the environment. yeah, yeah. if they do yeah. the bus line, if they do it, is going to cost £160 million. okay. so maybe more money in bus lines than trees. well, it's a lib dem council says it's the un report

highlights the need to decarbonise economies. this is just a classic case of causing more harm. yes but you just good. you've just solved it for. it's the lib dem. yes. okay now , now i understand. okay. first times and it's divide over times now and it's divide over gender identities . josh. yeah, gender identities. josh. yeah, 1 am. for gen z. adults use genderless pronouns. so they did a poll , a genderless pronouns. so they did a poll, a couple of thousand people. it turns the 18 to 24 year olds just under half have their pronoun within their email signatures or social profiles, but also a of them identify with non z and it's like they in them. yeah a quarter of them have no personal ity. yeah. interesting. you know i'm so glad we didn't have twitter when i was because i was 1824. i guarantee would have been one of those they would you. yeah. i did some gender studies at university. was convinced university. i was convinced that we male and female we didn't need male and female at all. it was all i can spare to say. i don't feel that way. no. thing that if you had no. the thing is that if you had an adult, did you see the viral video that young who video of that young woman who talks yeah. she was

talks an employee. yeah. she was talking how if someone applies to job and they their to job and they put their pronouns it. i don't invite pronouns on it. i don't invite them because like them to interview because like it aggressive , it to be entitled aggressive, litigious, rest of it litigious, all the rest of it which true. you if you which is true. you know, if you could block everyone who could just block everyone who puts pronouns bios puts their pronouns in that bios on twitter, you would have a much better time of it because people just angry and, you people are just angry and, you know, and know, very aggressive and not very compassionate, except sometimes because it becomes the fashion doesn't. it, you know, you apps lot you see it on dating apps a lot and i swipe left but they're probably doing it because they think want to think it's what people want to see. they're making a see. but they're making a big mistake most employers mistake because most employers are gen—z are not within this gen—z bracket that older than that. and got a bit they're and they've got a bit they're a bit they've got bit more liberal, they've got a bit more liberal, they've got a bit more liberal, they've got a bit more sense. and they're probably actually, probably going to say, actually, you don't want some you know, you don't want some pink raging pink haired, angry, raging frothing mouth employee frothing at the mouth employee going to complain about every little claim to be little thing and claim to be victim. you you want victim. you know, you don't want that your workplace you want that in your workplace you want nice on with nice people can get on with people going to try get people and i'm going to try get everyone sacked because they overheard they overheard joke that they misunderstood. did misunderstood. that's why i did my again. that's why my hair brown again. that's why you did it for exactly. but there is a serious thing. but yeah, people are much less

yeah, older people are much less likely along with this likely to go along with this ideology i what i wish ideology and i what i wish they'd done is pull some of the younger teenage son, younger people, my teenage son, i know that they're over it. yeah, they so that's what yeah, they are. so that's what i. so i really think it's this gen thing 18 to 24 because generation below called just not just normal kids , there's no oh, just normal kids, there's no oh, oh, no. look, i imagine this is ephemeral, you know, is this is just a sort of 30 year blip of weirdness. and then i think people will ultimately it's about yeah group of about seven. yeah group of people about 7 to 10 years where there's just people. yeah. there's just toxic people. yeah. and hopefully it reverts to and then hopefully it reverts to normal. but i think of normal. but i think a friend of mine a just telling me mine is a just keeps telling me about kids in, his about all the kids in, his class, think is class, they think all this is nonsense and they're the sort of 14 to 16 bracket. they think it's hilarious. yeah seen those older they've what older kids they've seen what they they've how they like. they've seen how nightmares reject nightmares are and they reject rejected thursday's now and our younger people better multitasking apparently younger people better multitars01g apparently younger people better multitarso many apparently younger people better multitarso many young pparently younger people better multitarso many young people .y why do so many young people watch tv with the subtitles experts reveal how growing up with tik has made it natural and why it's a good thing. so far,

only six 81% of 18 to 25 year olds won't watch television without the subtitles. all right. but you know , this is right. but you know, this is about this is because on the on those tweets and tiktok videos, they have, even if it's a clip of like a stand up comedy clip. so always the words up and so they always the words up and i deliberately make effort i deliberately make an effort not at the words because not to look at the words because actually women see experience, especially if it's stand—up. but yeah, the timing's all they give the before they've the punchline before they've set up don't read it. so up the joke. i don't read it. so why? to do this? why? why they want to do this? well, think that they're well, i think that they're arguing that because now kids, younger can focus on more younger people can focus on more different you're different things. but you're absolutely right, it ruins experience. friend of experience. i got a friend of mine to use subtitles mine who has to use subtitles when i go around, decides what stuff and and it just isn't stuff and it's and it just isn't because ahead. so jokes because you read ahead. so jokes are or you it for are ruined or you need it for season one of the wire until you fully understand well. but apart from that, you watch it with foreign because of foreign movies because of course, don't understand. foreign movies because of course learntion't understand. foreign movies because of course learnt norwegian;tand. foreign movies because of course learnt norwegian before dad, i learnt norwegian before i saw because i wanted saw the killing because i wanted to it as the artist, to experience it as the artist, the director wanted it to be yes i did right once again this

one's all about the vibes just vibe check you're quite vibe i'm so super duper vibes all about the vote by the way i'd like to apologise to chris's mother about my earrings but the comment about your earrings just it was just a joke at the time. but i did not mean i love them anyway. vibe check sorry chris does vijay what the most does mum vijay what the most overused word in our era actually refers to our era what do they mean from 1962? the mean the early modern period. yeah. essentially they're saying it's the most overused what vibe is not most of transphobia would be the most. i really hear the word oh one use the word. i feel like ihear oh one use the word. i feel like i hear do you see it. i don't know anyone who hates this phrase. they say good, only which i just think it means people that can't cope with life. i think it's people that don't want you to ever be in a bad mood. yeah. i'm sorry, chris. just i. it's not a word i hear very often. you know, when i think of five, i think paula abdul song vibe ology, which is well, her lesser well, it's one of her lesser known as the early known hits as the early nineties. got that you've

nineties. i've got that you've five other names i've got on tape. it's good. yeah. tape. yeah, it's good. yeah. cassette. good for abdul. cassette. good for paula abdul. i'm but the thing is it's just not really an overused. so why have they called written this weird about this this weird article about this this word that we really long after so long giving me some bad vibes is logically that just a sensually they like and it's also written like somebody i hate i know it's going to become a real cliche of the saying this but it's feels like a chat and ask where someone just googled a bunch of stuff smashed it all together. yeah it's like the history, vibe and good history, the word vibe and good vibrations. the guardian. vibrations. maybe the guardian. we're on stories vibrations. maybe the guardian. we'rdidn't on stories vibrations. maybe the guardian. we'rdidn't have on stories vibrations. maybe the guardian. we'rdidn't have enough ories that didn't have enough feminists bash, just feminists to bash, so they just wrote this instead. think wrote this instead. i think so. but this going to lose this but this is going to lose this article will lose them more article will lose them some more subscribers. it's subscribers. well good. it's about goes anyway. this about time it goes anyway. this one from the telegraph. now this is odd one, chris. so what's is an odd one, chris. so what's this beethoven's this about? beethoven's beethoven's . one of beethoven's dna. one of his ancestors had affair. so i think of our ancestors at some point . of our ancestors at some point. else does it for all of us. he

died in 1827, age 56, of cirrhosis. and the lucky. they found some of his hair. so been able to get his dna and the idea is that he might have had the genesis is that he might have had the genes is suggesting he might have a liver problem and have had a liver problem and quite they've got some quite a lot they've got some notebooks reveal quite notebooks reveal he drank quite a lot a lot of artists do it yeah so i don't know how confident they can be i love is there's a quote from him he says my nature shows that i do not belong among this plebeian mass. so might be related so i think he might be related kanye might be some. it's kanye west might be some. it's very, possible. i mean , very, very possible. i mean, this is kind of interesting if you to say he's not an you want to say he's not an actual beethoven because know his was broken his paternal line was broken adultery historians adultery that for historians of musical that i is quite musical that i suppose is quite interesting but it doesn't really matter beethoven's really matter if beethoven's it's confusing article it's a very confusing article because i don't understand like we're talking about beethoven dog right yeah the dog . yeah, dog right yeah the dog. yeah, yeah, yeah. how does he talk. how does he journals . what do how does he journals. what do they care about his lineage actually saying that beethoven dog. i've got five kids though .

welcome back to headliners, your first look at thursday's . okay,

first look at thursday's. okay, josh diverse acting nominations . this is very good news. bafta tv awards 2023 mature leading actress hailed as victory for diversity . this is from someone diversity. this is from someone who works at bafta and they've basically said it doesn't matter that there's less people ethnic minority kids who've been nominated this year because we've got loads of old women. okay well, that's the gist of the i did old women over for oh 40. why aren't they dead? why don't we just it comes to awards for films give the awards to the best actors and not worry about their demographic saying crazy talk, make for crazy crazy. focus on. but what they are not is quite cool. average age for the media is the nominated a 50, whereas the average age of the leading actors is 48. so go women yay i i think that's pretty women yay! i think that's pretty close. i mean, that's not much. yeah, but the ahead people are just obsessed with tv. i mean, actually bafta are now saying you can't be eligible for award unless you have certain of

unless you have a certain of diversity within crew. no, it's absolutely you know, and there are some films want to make one if you want to make a snow white seven dwarves, that wouldn't work. so but if you want to make a film about know a particular time and culture which was kind ethnically homogenous what do you do just artificially bung few people in who shouldn't have been there. but it's like with something like the what was the one which was set in africa with the queen you know, the african . there's a film called that's what it's called. no was a silent film that came out this and it was all about like a i think it was just a warrior. the warrior we could do this forever. but whatever it is. point is, everybody in the film is black. but yes obviously this is black. but yes obviously this is that's when the setting is. yeah but if but then how do you. but then of course then after a time there there the time there there with the majority. so that's a quite majority. yes. so that's a quite an interesting thing is why diverse why just were just diverse this why just were just worry story the

worry about the story tell the story as want to tell it and story as you want to tell it and not worry about all this nonsense. how about that? i i don't they i'll take on. no. okay what about this from okay well what about this from pulitzer bit of pulitzer prize winning bit of journalism metro journalism from the metro crisis. this is incredible. apparently some people can smell out smell out and smell. you can smell now. smell . not that now. i can't smell. not that i've tried . i would have i've ever tried. i would have you stuck your head in hive. well, no, exactly, but you know hell until so. well they don't have hives . they must be have hives. they must be anthills . got to smell them anthills. got to smell them because there's anteaters with the big long noses we're not well we're not anteaters but maybe some of us partly, you know, the coriander thing. some people love it. some people hate it it i, i read article it about. it i, i read article it's your genes isn't whether it's in your genes isn't whether you love it or not. some people say it tastes this. i love it. some people say it tastes like soap. think people genetically soap. i think people genetically predisposed to like coriander. i believe because the opinions believe so because the opinions are so one or the other. people either report. i think it's all right . well, i'll. okay, let's right. well, i'll. okay, let's balance anyway . apparently if i balance anyway. apparently if i switched on the floor the can
