this is a rishi sunak will say today the grooming gangs in rotherham and all across the north and also parts of the south and, the west were the reason were allowed to proliferate is because didn't want to call them out. people didn't want to report them because they scared of appearing rice and so you don't have that fear, do you know? i don't have that fear, which is why i have that fear, which is why i have that voice. and i'm but people have also said that suella braverman in particular is weapons causing this issue, making it all about race because sex offenders come from all parts of our culture . yeah. i parts of our culture. yeah. i mean, it really has kicked off . mean, it really has kicked off. i don't know if you were still on the flight when you got off, catherine, but been kicked off on twitter and. that's like the worst kind of twitter storm. and it's yeah. basically accusing her of essentially a dog whistling racism and whatnot. what about all the white people who are also pillows and whatnot? but that's enough . the whatnot? but that's enough. the bbc, mate. yeah that's fair. and now it seems like rishi sunak

doubung now it seems like rishi sunak doubling down on this. but do you think that they have a case or not in terms of accusing her of dog whistling ? i mean, i of dog whistling? i mean, i think if anybody up any type of sexual abuse of children, it might well be explored. oh no, no. yeah, absolutely. and that would be michael as well. exactly. the point is that still with what is obviously an utterly heinous crime . and utterly heinous crime. and whatever it takes to do that and wherever that goes . of course, wherever that goes. of course, of course. and this is a problem when you tackle a crime such as this one and you speak honestly and, candidly about it, then invariably people are going to get board and they're going to say oh, you're making say things, oh, you're making this race, making this about race, you're making this about race, you're making this you are this about race because you are racist . the reality is, unless racist. the reality is, unless you talk about it, unless you talk it in a frank, open and honest manner , then we are never honest manner, then we are never going to be able to solve and we're never going to protect the next of children next generations of children from ensuring that this doesn't happen to them. whereas if we sweep the carpet, then sweep it under the carpet, then all is that

all that will happen is that will continue to be perpetuated . dark. yeah, well it's and . the dark. yeah, well it's and then you had labour here saying then you had labour here saying the hopelessly the package was hopelessly inadequate belated and narrow and still feel like i'm and you still feel like i'm a traditionally been labour traditionally i've been labour supporter apart from a few years ago but it's ago of recent years but it's a bit like, well, guys come on that the growth and these were labour councils yes arguably the leaders perpetuated decades of allowing these some grooming gang. allowing these some grooming gang . when i say grooming gangs gang. when i say grooming gangs i mean not that grooming gangs all happen to be asian. but the percentage those particular. yes what were and then of course people start going , look at this people start going, look at this report here and it says the grooming is a majority white. well, of course, we live in a majority white country, but at least listen lisa nandy who is actually who i voted for to be the labour she to sort of make a lot of sense don't you think with what she says here about how does call it out and she says there are particular issues within the and the pakistani gangs and parts of the country. but we also need to look at the

bigger picture. well well, of course i do. lisa is right on this particular issue. the problem is, is that this has been such a taboo subject for so long has been happening for long and has been happening for around about 30 years. that is it any surprise that people want to talk it when the reality is people have been too scared too for a long time and as a result of that can't blame people for wanting to be for wanting to discuss this subject in the open now and it's i don't think it's good enough to say look yes but what about this because the reality is this to be talked about and we need to ensure that it needs to be stamped and that no young is ever put through this heinous crimes again. absolutely just one final thing is just in terms of i mean, it seemed what suella braverman saying was the point was that political correctness had allowed these crimes can and also allowed like, for also had allowed like, for example the bomber in manchester. and not so. manchester. yes. and not so. it's the up to the authorities to of get over themselves i

guess this fear that's been sort of become part of these institutions they have to do their job institutions they have to do theirjob and get over it institutions they have to do their job and get over it that takes them. yeah and they need to be brave. and this a thing about being a leader this is a thing about being a politician. it means that you're going to be disliked. it means that people are going to say nasty things about. you it means that sometimes people are going to misrepresent you . but here's the misrepresent you. but here's the thing. you want to be in power. you want to be in charge. you want to be secretary or whatever other title may be, then you've got to be prepared. take and accept that it sounds . it's just accept that it sounds. it's just like . gb news to me. power like being. gb news to me. power yeah, exactly. you're saying what, catherine? already? well, i guess just. i don't know if you can tell from my accent, but i'm not from here, so i come here. well, yeah, exactly. so i come a place where law come from a place where law and order victims has order special victims unit has had, like, 30 seasons, so feel like this has been in conversation where i come from for a very long time. so i'm learning just through this

dialogue. it something dialogue. is it just something that is from what that politically is from what you said and people been afraid to bring to the forefront ? i to bring to the forefront? i mean, i find that , you know, so mean, i find that, you know, so i think whatever , like you said i think whatever, like you said earlier, whatever you have to do kind of deal with it. you start with it. well, let's let's talk about something more safe , i about something lot more safe, i guess, brexit. there's the other story there in the times brexit clash in brussels blamed for dover chaos. what who do you think is it brexit? is it not what's on here? come on. well the reality is, is with all of these discussions, is that you've got side versus the other and gets lost in the middle is truth and nuance because the remainers want to say everything is the fault of brexit and the brexiteers want to go. no, this is they want to say that. yeah, exactly. reality is it's a little bit brexit hasn't helped. let's be honest, it's made these things slower , made them more things slower, made them more laborious. it's you know, the

free flow of goods. so it has it, but it's not just about there's numerous factors involved in it. it's the fact that people are wanting to go away before the easter breaks . away before the easter breaks. how dare they? yeah, exactly it's the fact that it's been to do with straw etc, etc. so it's a confluence of fact and i believe it's going get worse. is that right, catherine? that used supposedly. but i think the real tragedy of this is the thousands of children heading to the alps on skiing trips where they're deeply affected they missed the day. i mean . oh, my god. do you day. i mean. oh, my god. do you get go to the alps? i feel get to go to the alps? i feel the people i feel sorry of the people i feel sorry for of the people i feel sorry for of the teachers used to be a teacher to be stuck in a bus for 24 hours. oh let's move on to the next paper. the telegraph. catherine have quite a few catherine so we have quite a few headunes catherine so we have quite a few headlines here was a bomb in a statue that kremlin propagandist i'm going to butcher name. okay. are you ready? yeah vlad, when tard ski . how could you do that tard ski. how could you do that in a russian accent, please? i

don't want to be cancelled today . you know, you're allowed to do russian. that's on you. that's the one we mess with russian you to do it. i i said, what about hauan?i to do it. i i said, what about italian? i thought it was italians. when you can you can't do italian calling you about antonio at i mean, if you're selling pasta or pizza of course you get a free pass, i could do his name in italian to . italian his name in italian to. italian what you need to do now and meatball. okay vlan lin tart tart scape. i'm not going to do it. he was killed by a bomb hidden inside statue that was hidden inside a statue that was handed he the only handed to him. he was the only person killed the blast. although 15 other people were injured. oh that's it. injured. oh no, but that's it. but that's i guess right. but that's karma, i guess right. yeah. also who someone me yeah. but also who if someone me a i'd be like this is a statue i'd be like this is deeply who giving deeply suspicious. who giving someone else a statue . so did someone else a statue. so did they never read the legend of they never read the legend of the trojan horse. never trust giving you things so that a horse mate pig. yeah but he's still a statue. well, it was a symbol, whatever it was anyway. but maybe he left on a high and being like a gift yeah and yeah. no, maybe well, obviously don't

give anything to the funeral. i think he's deeply suspicious. that's story. have phone that's another story. have phone alerts will cause chaos. yes. there plans to test mobile there are plans to test a mobile firm emergency siren and some might bring chaos. firm emergency siren and some might bring chaos . just so you might bring chaos. just so you know, you should put it in your calendars. you're going to be driving. going to a ten driving. there's going to a ten second on sunday, april second blast on sunday, april 23rd part a nationwide 23rd as part of a nationwide test of the system . but they're test of the system. but they're concerned that the potential consequences have been out consequences have not been out thoroughly about . this alarm thoroughly about. this alarm going off on people to help and process. well, it's just like another terrible idea is probably going to cause multiple pile ups . and in another couple pile ups. and in another couple years, it's not going to matter because we're all going to vote tory okay. well they can tory again. okay. well they can do they want. okay do whatever they want. okay i look, go to the daily mail look, let's go to the daily mail next. frances the daily mail have gone with actually a story that is very important that i think is very important for daily mail readers , who are for daily mail readers, who are obviously all over the age of 70, millions are 70, millions of drivers are stuck parking . and what has stuck in parking. and what has happenedis stuck in parking. and what has happened is councils up and down country are getting rid of pay

and display is the old method. if you go to the little machine, you put 60 page, you get low tech.it you put 60 page, you get low tech. it used to be, i don't know which part of the you that somebody lives in the past 3 minutes live. minutes around where i live. yeah but because you live yeah but that's because you live in a posh of north. oh that in a posh part of north. oh that post. yeah. trust me it is. i've been there but what all the councils are doing is. yeah, of course is. all the council course it is. all the council are they're doing it are doing is they're doing it via because they're via an app because they're saying know, is saying oh, you know, this is environmentally friendly, this is a much efficient way of is a much more efficient way of doing it. how's it more viable? because saves the tiniest bit because it saves the tiniest bit of yeah, the of paper. yeah, exactly. the sticky but. the problem sticky plastic but. the problem comes is older people who comes is with older people who don't how to apps who may don't how to use apps who may not have to smartphone not have access to a smartphone effective . they're being effective. they're being isolated from society because they've got no way of paying this bill. they really shouldn't be leaving their homes right. they, did the they, of course not. did the pandemic teach nothing. pandemic teach them? nothing. yeah. do you think about yeah. so what do you think about ? you know? have ? this these do you know? have you a coin? remember last you seen a coin? remember last time you had coins in your hand? i don't know a coin is, but i don't know what a coin is, but feel i three thrown to feel like i got three thrown to me night. my gig. i feel

me last night. my gig. i feel like this , is to keep old like this, is a ploy to keep old people off the. really this ? people off the. oh really this? is it just so they're like age them out. yeah we're to age out. you shouldn't be on the driving anyway. i mean, it might backfire for me it's backfire because for me it's like get there, park. like you get there, you park. yeah. download the app, you yeah. you download the app, you mess around, it's cool. and then it sounds like you it, it sounds like you had it, but it sounds like you had it, but it car it has your previous car registration in and then you're doing the thing it about half an hour and then you just actually you so you you just got to leave. so you just pay. exactly oh, what just don't pay. exactly oh, what you do is you think pay. and then in about a couple days, they back go, a they come back and go, here's a £90 yeah now normally we £90 fine. yeah now normally we finish with bit of finish this with a little bit of fun staff. we're going fun with the staff. we're going to to the next best thing, to go to the next best thing, the financial oil producers spnng the financial oil producers spring surprise cut of spring surprise output cut of more than 1 million barrels a day. frances, you seem oily. do you have anything ? you know the you have anything? you know the first woman to say that to me? catherine so oil is, by the way the cheesiest god on headline as before . yeah so this is a major

before. yeah so this is a major problem because it's the saudi arabia's reducing by 500,000 barrels per day in iraq by 211,000. the uae, kuwait , 211,000. the uae, kuwait, algeria and oman also making cuts . and particularly when we cuts. and particularly when we got a energy crisis this literally the last thing that we need this is going to drive up pnces need this is going to drive up prices further . it need this is going to drive up prices further. it is need this is going to drive up prices further . it is terrible, prices further. it is terrible, particularly when our economy is so based on oil. we need to drive our economy . businesses drive our economy. businesses are hanging by a thread when it comes to paying energy bills is the last thing we know they do. they're just doing it for the money. well, they're doing it to mess with us. well, they. no, no, they're not they did they they said that they output to support market stability. yeah. that's they're that's that means they're messing so messing them. yeah. exactly. so but thing is josh, can but the thing is josh, they can mess with us. yeah. yeah they can. and they are the ones in control oil production. and so they choose to do with it what. they were saying is we need to

invade. yes we do. let's have a say. yes. because you wrote evidence. yes because iraq went so well. we to replicate it. i say . and what influence do you say. and what influence do you think this have with in think this have with russia in terms of their their output? of course, they produce a lot of oil. catherine, do you think this is to help their cause in some way? i love that you're looking at to this looking at me to answer this i just yeah i'm i'm even sure i know you very deftly just sort of like read the headline. i went yeah. what do you think francis. well as i listen to francis. well as i listen to francis explain, all of it, i was like, man, you know what? the less know, the better i feel actually about this. let's consider ourselves informed. yeah, that's it from and yeah, that's it from paul and join the break. femme join us after the break. femme fatales new times, lies fatales spies new times, lies and just surge and really like guys find out in a few minutes.

welcome back to headline as we kick off with monday's i and the new york times is now officially a parody newspaper. frances, which of course we both knew ages ago. indeed we did. so they have been stripped of their twitter verified take by musk after refusing pay the grandson of $1,000 a month. and this elon has bought twitter for a ridiculous amount of money comment i think something like 44 billion. i'll say quickly how much money burns worth half. that's half of that's now it's worth half of that. but and in a way to make twitter more profitable what he said he was going to do because he was going to get rid of the blue tick of the verification that twitter had and was good they he was going to install twitter blue people had to twitter blue so people had to pay twitter blue so people had to pay month for their account pay $8 a month for their account in order to have their account verified. and it going to be verified. and it was going to be more for corporations like the new new york new york times. the new york times refused to pay as times have refused to pay as a result elon. there it is. hasn't yet hasn't like they look they

don't they do they look naked and they look some verify and as we know, that means that we can no longer trust them. so they are currently in a spat with twitter. but i think the more interesting story around this is elon is trying to make twitter profitable. he's trying to run it you do think that's a more interesting person tells you what the most interesting story is so yes so that's he's trying to do is he going to be able to make twitter profitable? i don't think it's ever turned a profit in its history. we will wait and see. well yes. what do you think, katherine? mean, do you think, katherine? i mean, do you do you have a blue tech do you care about these? well, i wondered why a that i used care about these? well, i wcdatead why a that i used care about these? well, i wcdate who 1y a that i used care about these? well, i wc date who sprays that i used care about these? well, i wc date who sprays shoes i used care about these? well, i wc date who sprays shoes atrsed to date who sprays shoes at a bowling alley suddenly had a blue i so i'm blue tank. now i know so i'm wondering why you're checking on the boyfriend who sprays shoes. that's what the internet's for okay. obviously, i'm making sure that you made the right decision. i mean, my god, i can't believe i turned down the

shoe. i mean, his hands are a bit smelly. but that's bit smelly. yeah, but that's what i liked him. but. but $1,000 a month. this is elon musk trying to make money musk trying to make his money back. think it is, of course, back. i think it is, of course, trying to make his money by advertising since he has taken as drop 40% from 5 billion. so he's essentially, it seems like he's essentially, it seems like he's made about $21 million from people buying boutiques, but he's lost about 2 billion in revenue. so it's obviously not going particularly well. well you see, and the problem is, is that was the fact that he they lost so that twitter lost much advertising revenue due the fact that when he took it over there was all this hysteria going, oh my god, going turn it into my god, going to turn it into a far right prime suspect, more so than normal. yes exactly. i left cesspit. yeah, exactly oh, twitter's going to become a cesspit. i mean, twitter already is a cesspit however he said a little bit of a clever backtrack would waive the monthly fee for its verification program to the top 500 advertisers and the top

ten 10,000 organisations based on their followers . the lawyer on their followers. the lawyer because i'm 909 of course, you see you're an international celebrity and that's why you were blue ticked up your eyeballs. yeah, but there is a problem here, genuinely, and we'll move on. but about the whole sort of impulses now taking over, how you going to the york times as the real new york times as a somewhat not but it seems like they're to for that they're going to money for that but have to pay but they're going to have to pay extra money to deal with impulses to with fake news and whatnot. seems like a self—defeating me. it self—defeating thing to me. it does seem like a self—defeating thing. and the reality is twitter might not profitable. twitter might not be profitable. is business model might not be profitable . maybe it has a huge profitable. maybe it has a huge amount of value because of the influence that it has on the world, our society and culture, which we can all agree is dreadful. but the reality is maybe it doesn't make enough money as a business we never money as a business and we never will. i don't know. i mean, it seems are a lot seems like there are a lot of people following me get like people following me to get like jokes sex life and jokes about my sex life and whatnot. i worry that whatnot. yeah, i just worry that it's going to sustain it's not going to sustain twitter. by itself. maybe twitter. yeah by itself. maybe that's oh you that's a good thing. oh you think should go. maybe it

think it should go. maybe it would you just it. it's on would you just send it. it's on society is dreadful. maybe i shouldn't be making in a very depressed those tweets. shouldn't be making in a very deprelet's those tweets. shouldn't be making in a very deprelet's next those tweets. shouldn't be making in a very deprelet's next we'reiose tweets. shouldn't be making in a very deprelet's next we're goingveets. shouldn't be making in a very deprelet's next we're going tots. yeah let's next we're going to move monday's and is move on to monday's and is nicola a gillette nicola sturgeon a gillette blade. is had blade. you know she is she had a game of flats you know you're not familiar with are you a comedian ? right. she has been comedian? right. she has been a have you not heard? you know what gillette blade is, right. are you talking about my at gillette blade goes both ways. theidea gillette blade goes both ways. the idea a game of flops is like you've got to things from the deck of cards rub to jokes the better you explain them guys. oh thank professor i'm just informing of two the ways of our shores . you want to. if you shores. you want to. if you think about living here permanent. yeah. brush off. is this the talk you're going to have? you're with your teenagers one day gillette? i sent my five year old down the other day . year old down the other day. gillette. okay . nicola gillette. blade is okay. nicola sturgeon laughs soft lesbian affair rumours . now she's affair rumours. now she's apparently being accused of being embroiled in a secret love

want show males and they don't want short males either because they're less powerful and less they're less powerful and less the less potent. so what they're trying do m16 trying to do make m16 more female and trying to create , female and trying to create, dare i say, a more balanced workforce . the reality is when workforce. the reality is when it to top jobs is that women are lot more kind of stable than men and they go, you know, what do i want to kill myself at the workplace do. oh so you think it's women particularly wanting the role? yes absolutely. famously had c or q or whatever number name better in the james bond movies has been a woman for a while now. yes and she seemed to be really good at the job so that's fiction . but she seemed that's fiction. but she seemed very competent. she did seem very competent. she did seem very competent. she did seem very competent. maybe we should just get judi to do the role. actually act in it. yeah just actually do it. she's a great actress . she could act her way actress. she could act her way through it. i mean, judi dench, judi is getting on a bit now. god bless her. but maybe that's what we need to do. is this just

i mean, maybe sexism occurs at the lower levels and you haven't managed through the managed to push through the talent. what he's arguing talent. that's what he's arguing . i always . i mean, i always get suspicious when hear like we're definitely woman suspicious when hear like we're definit

right. you put them in prison. yes, of yes, indeed. thousands of homeless arrested. homeless people are arrested. archaic act. so more archaic vagrancy act. so more than a thousand people have been arrested for sleeping rough. oh begging since the government pledged scrap. the nearly 200 year old idea. it's a very archaic act. it was obviously brought in 200 years ago. the reality homelessness has changed it has grown in cities in our populations . you just have to go populations. you just have to go into london to see it. the reality is a lot of people end up on the streets because they severe mental health problems. and thatcher did is she and what thatcher did is she closed the places that would look after these people and these people support and care and the cutbacks into mental health have been horrendous right the way through and particularly after the 2008 crash so what we have these people who for many them who through no fault of their own simply can't cope in society and on the streets. and the last thing that we should be doing with these types of people is arresting them and criminalising

their a lot of their existence when a lot of them need support. them just need support. absolutely. they that's absolutely. and they need that's where need be putting the where they need be putting the money. and of course of course they done. i it's this they haven't done. i it's this another criticism of this. and as someone who works a charity academy know what academy they said you know what you're doing is you're essentially doing is repealing to just repealing one law to just replace it with pretty much the same law. seems like same law. yeah. seems like that's rishi sunak in terms that's what rishi sunak in terms of this bill that he's trying to put through in terms dealing put through in terms of dealing with people, whatnot. i with nuisance people, whatnot. i mean, like isn't that mean, i feel like isn't that what like, what politicians do? it's like, gosh, so cynical . yeah gosh, you're so cynical. yeah well, it is an issue and it's a long term and we've talked about it before. it's not going away and it isn't just about giving people home or whatever. and as you say, there's a lot mental health that needs to be dealt you say, there's a lot mental healtand at needs to be dealt you say, there's a lot mental healtand it'seeds to be dealt you say, there's a lot mental healtand it's aeds to be dealt you say, there's a lot mental healtand it's a much be dealt you say, there's a lot mental healtand it's a much more alt with and it's a much more complicated than that and needs to be with in a much more to be dealt with in a much more comprehensive manner. but certainly this law certainly just having this law by outside of law and by is i think outside of law and just in humanity way, in a humane way, like beyond like what's written in law and to how how you handle this situation. it's like, look at that person.

it's like, look at that person. it it's a person like it's someone that are related to and it's such a happy i mean , yeah, it's such a happy i mean, yeah, you're going to get the system right. you shut me up. we've got farting cows. i don't even need to else we just got we got farting cows. see you in 2 minutes .

welcome back to headlines and kicking off with a story in the mirror. now about flatulent cows . so let's go to catherine . what . so let's go to catherine. what do you call me? no i did it and i'm proud of farting cows to get food additives to stomp from breaking wind and climate fight. apparently gaseous cattle are blamed fuelling emissions by belching and breaking wind . but belching and breaking wind. but the solution is to be giving methane suppressants to stop them from farting so much. oh

how can i get some of those? yeah, i'd like some for my husband.i yeah, i'd like some for my husband. i guess the ministers intend to force to give their livestock the feed because of the amount of methane cows released the they released the air when they belcher they're blamed for about 14% of global carbon emissions. yeah, absolutely . you know, the yeah, absolutely. you know, the thing is, is that we going to eat methane suppressants because they're going to be in our beef, unless, of course, you're a vegetarian, in which case don't deserve to vote. well okay. well, but but do you think that these these cows are raised this way. i guess they would they have some sort of i'm just imagining they might get a special sticker on their package sort of just a little dust cloud with a sort of . so methane, with a sort of. so methane, three, phase three. yeah, exactly . seriously, like, oh, exactly. seriously, like, oh, i'm doing a lot of good for the planet. yeah. so the vegans can eat me again. well this is sort of talk about the trend of what we talk about the trend of what we talk about the trend of humanity also, you know, providing the cure through our science farts science and the anti farts medication, it just me it's a true story. the japan invented a

pill which makes your smell of roses and have you tried one of these not because they ready to mate. okay i don't. i genuinely i mean, i feel for ofcom . they i mean, i feel for ofcom. they may also not be a pill smell of roses . my may also not be a pill smell of roses. my name's in next with a love letter bees, which you can then wrap up in the paper and they make a great swatter. francis so bees sent inside the stunning brain of nature's hardest workers . and this is a hardest workers. and this is a scientist who is done an examination into bees brains . examination into bees brains. now, originally we thought the bees would kind of operate on instinct almost. but what these experiments have is they're capable of simplistic eating emotions resembling all the optimism , frustration, optimism, frustration, playfulness, fear and traits more commonly associated with mammals. and they can they can have ptsd like symptoms, recognise human faces. just want to point out this we've got to

be playing the flute. yep absolutely. and we got bee playing a game. i mean i would have thought would invent a more high and sort of entertainment system . but i feel that, you system. but i feel that, you know, taking this ground breaking piece of research seriously and so it's an incredible addition scientific discovery josh showing that insects are capable of human traits and emotions that we thought was solely found in mammals and what you've done there by going and putting some things like that those little cheap graphics you've ridiculed not only this great man's research , stephen buchmann, but research, stephen buchmann, but the bees . so i hope you're the bees. so i hope you're happy. the bees. so i hope you're happy i the bees. so i hope you're happy.iif the bees. so i hope you're happy. i if you've made me rethink. thank you. feel wonderful. argumentative skills. yeah. what do you think , yeah. what do you think, catherine? i mean, bees are. i they are very, very important . they are very, very important. they are very, very important. the world food system . i want to the world food system. i want to read this book. it's called a bee knows exploring the science

and personality of bees this guy is like the carl jung of bees. i'm into it . yeah, well, he's i'm into it. yeah, well, he's also like, now i would treat differently in the lab and he's like 20 years ago i was of tormenting them with little sort of robot spiders and now he's i feel guilty for that. but it's like we all change in 20 years. don't judge us by the same the same thing but oh so i imagine he's done some form of drug . he's done some form of drug. well yes but i think pesticide as of sometimes. yeah, but actually my favourite part of this is the idea if pollination one of the crops, which is what they actually is traumatising for bees, then of course there are ramifications for vegans and vegetarians. exact just imagine that anyone you're going to eat. what are you going to eat? boys and goes. although i sometimes difficult to tell anyway. oh my god he got it in sticking with a guardian and catherine someone's kid was feeling pretty confident the parent school day right shelly—ann fraser's kid excuse me. fraser she got to me. shelly—ann fraser she got to get that high. i never.

shelly—ann fraser—pryce there's two hyphens and it's 1130 at night she won the race at her son's sports . surprise, son's sports. surprise, surprise. why did it. why did she get to compete ? why did she get to compete? why did anyone else compete? if i saw her show up, i'd be like, win. well, let's have a little look at the footage footage . she goes at the footage footage. she goes , wow. oh wow . lutely demolishes , wow. oh wow. lutely demolishes them. wow wow. somebody was earnestly to catch up with you. she's like, i'm the olympian. yeah, i get that place. yeah so she won the race . she should she won the race. she should have. yeah, well, she should , of have. yeah, well, she should, of course. i mean, but what do think, francis? i mean, should she have held or is this a time? no no, no. listen she b she became the oldest sprinter at the age of 35 to win a world championship. and what is the point of training all your life, dedicating and eating the right thing if you then can go into

your kids sport knowing it? one more time. yeah. and just smoke the opposition she's. just not messing around. no, but can you imagine all the other moms? how scary is i mean, respect to the other people joining race number, but also to her? because if i her i would have turned around halfway for a while as i was smoking them and giving the fingers . she's a run back was fingers. she's a run back was the thing just jog backwards going at me. i'm better going and look at me. i'm better than you. do you to say, than you. what do you to say, katherine? was nicknamed the katherine? she was nicknamed the pocket because she's a fighter. also, she or less, also, she is more or less, right? i mean, personally, right? yeah. i mean, personally, i to i think that they need to include some sort of other competitions for, the other parents who aren't so sport, you know, who are a sport challenge basis. if, if they could basis. if, if, if they could have like who's got the largest comic collection. yeah. then my children proud of it. they children be proud of it. they should do races, one with should do two races, one with shelly, can win and then one shelly, she can win and then one or shelly should just drug or shelly they should just drug test as well because you test shelly as well because you know. yeah, yeah. know. oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. they need just to get need to. she's just going to get with it. well, yeah, yeah, yeah. exactly now in exactly the telegraph now in show francis , will show business and francis, will it on the night? oh,

it be over on the night? oh, hey. well, no . if the most hey. well, no. if the most notable night if the oscars have their way of doing it, the academy because they say inclusion go. we still see to avoid on tuesday sessions that the oscar nominations are to what you remember this happened i think it was a few years ago i think it was 2017. yep no but in 2017 there was a hashtag oscars. so what? because all of the nominees for that year, all the good guys. yeah. well, good actors. exactly and it was all done on merit anyway . so have done on merit anyway. so have come out and said no what we is make sure that more people are that we more people are represented more people who were represented more people who were represented on screen but not just more people that represented on screen. more people who represent not reprehensible. people , reprehensible. more people, which of because it's which of course, because it's hollywood and are filled hollywood and they are filled with dreadful dreadful people, but more minorities are but no more minorities are represented. of course, directing , of course, writing directing, of course, writing and so so forth. and i do and so on and so forth. and i do think there is a little bit of

merit to it quite merit to it, because we different stories. i think to have different stories , screen makes all our experiences richer and more interesting to hollywood. it's got really, really dull and all they seem to produce another marvel film . just tell us marvel film. just tell us a story you maybe make a film about a guy with a of kids just trying to feed them , joining a trying to feed them, joining a tv channel. but is he . if you tv channel. but is he. if you will see. okay, let's move to on last story in the section, the express. and you won't know this, catherine but pretty much every headline of every every day throughout the eighties was this, oh, i love that that i would have enjoyed this one. i agree this is the great enjoyed that britain for sure get out naked tory mp wakes up in brothel calls politician for help but for i feel young again oh i feel like a young man. he rang a senior politician at 4 am. after he found himself in a

brothel and, unable to, quote unquote find my clothes. there you know, we've all been there. listen that is a definition of friendship the guy who goes by phone call, that is how he knew he was a true friend and let tell you something as well. now i'm, sick of it. i'm sick of victim shaming and victim blaming, this man is a tory. tories are going to tory let's stop. they makes him spit out. he should be this almost like a protected characteristic. of course he's the mp you're going to get naked and getting up in a brothel. it's absolutely illegal. what are you going to say to an eagle? don't fly. no in fact, it should be on the leaflets if you haven't, you know, and it really is like, well, wait a minute, you're going to go out for me. you want to be a tory mp and you haven't beenin to be a tory mp and you haven't been in a brothel either. you sound a bit dodgy. me and here's the thing. point where i, the thing. the point where i, with faith in politicians is, with my faith in politicians is, is i look at this and i go least she's not. oh really that's the level you see. i looked at that

and was like at least she wasn't dead. there you go. presumably. so it's a good story all round. i like the quote i don't know how i got here and i can't find my clothes. i think then all by the way, i'd say this is not the person you should have called because told because he went and told everybody he's a tory everybody because he's a tory and politician up and a politician. coming up now we're have a of we're going to have a of stories, a bunch of very silly stories. how many people, how stories, a bunch of very silly storierdates many people, how stories, a bunch of very silly storierdates you 1y people, how stories, a bunch of very silly storierdates you haveople, how stories, a bunch of very silly storierdates you have before ow stories, a bunch of very silly storierdates you have before you many dates you have before you should sleep with someone? my wife are still waiting for wife and i are still waiting for minutes .
