both the conservatives and labour launched their election battle buses. earlier, sir keir starmer has been dodging questions about diane abbott, while rishi sunak, the prime minister, denied accusations that he's trying to buy votes with a promise for funding for towns. >> 100 towns across our country. they're going to receive £20 million each. and crucially , it million each. and crucially, it will be local. people in all those areas are in charge of how to spend that money, to make sure it's spent and invested on their priorities. an example of us levelling up everywhere, backing local people and their priorities and giving them the long term funding assurance to do so. the methodology that selects these towns is something that's been used multiple times before. it's all public. it's based on areas levelling up needs, looking at economic opportunity, skills, health and life expectancy. so it's an objective set of criteria. all published online. but i'm not going to make any apology for supporting towns . supporting towns. >> well, launching his battle bus, sir keir starmer described the conservatives levelling up pledge as a phoney gimmick.
8:02 pm
the conservatives levelling up pledge as a phoney gimmick . the pledge as a phoney gimmick. the labour leader says his party's data reveals which areas will be hit if the conservatives get back into government figures show that people in the north—east of england will be £5,400 worse off, while families in the south—west will be £4,300 poorer. >> won't change the powers with you because the voters with you. you have to vote for change. we have changed this labour party and put it back in the service of working people. what we're asking now, humbly asking, is the opportunity to change our country and put it back in the service of working people, and that requires both setting out our ambition to change the country. but also the first steps, the down payment, if you like, stabilising the economy , like, stabilising the economy, making sure we can deal with our waiting list, getting back people back into work, setting up great british energy to keep bills down. they are the first steps to the change this country desperately needs . desperately needs. >> sir keir starmer there, speaking earlier on the election campaign trail.
8:03 pm
speaking earlier on the election campaign trail . well, in other campaign trail. well, in other news, there's been a heavy police presence in central london today for several protest events. thousands of people turned out for a rally organised by tommy robinson in parliament square as stand up to racism staged a counter—protest nearby. and at a separate demonstration. we now know of nine arrests for people trying to block traffic in the capital. the group of youth demand activists were calling for an end to military action in gaza . rishi sunak has action in gaza. rishi sunak has praised a proposed ceasefire deal set out by president joe biden. he's called it welcome news. he's also calling on hamas to accept that new deal and to end the conflict in gaza. the proposal would end the fighting there and return hostages, beginning with a six week ceasefire. however, israel's government has said certain conditions still need to be met by hamas. borisjohnson conditions still need to be met by hamas. boris johnson says that a second donald trump presidency is now more likely, following his hush money trial. the former prime minister came out in support of the now
8:04 pm
convicted former president, saying the verdict won't derail mr trump's campaign. donald trump says he will be appealing his conviction for falsifying business records, and lashed out at what he calls a scam verdict . at what he calls a scam verdict. in other news, we've heard tonight that north korea has been sending more balloons filled with rubbish and suspected animal poo floating off towards the south. in seoul, the south korean government dispatched chemical and explosive clearance teams to recover debris. we understand around 260 balloons have so far been detected flying across the border. pyongyang says it's in retaliation for defectors and activists who send their own inflatables across the border containing leaflets. food, medicine and often usb sticks that are loaded with k—pop videos . and finally, before we videos. and finally, before we hand back to leo, ticketmaster has confirmed today that it's been hacked and that the data taken could include customers partial payment information on some 560 million people worldwide are reportedly
8:05 pm
affected. it's being suggested the group, called shiny hunters, wants £400,000, or it's threatening to sell the details on the dark web . that's the on the dark web. that's the latest from the newsroom for now. another update in the next houn now. another update in the next hour. until then, you can sign up to gb news alerts. just go to our website gb news. com slash alerts . alerts. >> thank you sam. now, i've got to admit , the trump verdict to admit, the trump verdict caught me by surprise. the charges against the former president seemed a little trumped up. if you'll pardon the pun.the trumped up. if you'll pardon the pun. the ex—president paid stormy daniels a woman he'd had sex with $130,000 to sign an nba, sex with $130,000 to sign an nda, promising she wouldn't talk about it didn't really work. this was categorised as legal expenses, which is a bit naughty. kind of like category losing a house you don't live at as your main home to pay less tax, but it's not a felony offence. but because this happened going into an election, the prosecutors stretched it to
8:06 pm
say that he miscategorised the hush money payment to influence the election, as it was concealing something that could damage his reputation with voters. boris johnson called it a liberal hit job. is he right.7 i mean, voters already knew that trump was a cool guy who liked to party with hot babes, and he showed that trump could get better value for money than a democrat. bill clinton paid $850,000 of hush money to paula jones, just one of the women women he had an affair with and she wasn't anywhere near as hot as stormy daniels, who's a genuine porn star. if anything, the whole affair just added to trump's aura as the motley crew of politics. and clinton isn't the only democrat leader who's paid off women after having affairs. presidential candidate john edwards was accused of handing $1 million of campaign money to his pregnant mistress. maybe he should get some advice from trump about birth control . from trump about birth control. unlike trump, his prosecution failed. unfortunately for the democrats, the court case seems to be backfiring. the verdict gave trump an immediate six
8:07 pm
point boost in the polls , and point boost in the polls, and his campaign raised $39 million in just ten hours. a lot of people think that trump is the victim of a political witch hunt, and with him able to run for president even if he's in jail , it for president even if he's in jail, it looks like trump's final jury will be the american pubuc final jury will be the american public when they go to the ballot box in november. now, i'm joined tonight by the broadcaster precious muir and the comedians louis shaffer and justin panks . now i'm going to justin panks. now i'm going to show what happened when biden was questioned about it. but first, let's see what my panel make of it. justin, do you think that trump was stitched up, i don't know if he was stitched up in that, what he's being tried for, technically, he might be guilty of, but it seems like i think the problem i've noticed this in america before is i think that america don't seem to try things, and this is just my opinion on a case to case basis. i remember in the 90s when, o.j. i remember in the 90s when, oj. simpson was found not guilty, i always felt that was making some sort of atonement for the rodney king stuff. yeah. so i feel like
8:08 pm
what it is, is. and this again, wasn't it, al capone got done on tax evasion, and it's sort of like, you know, you could you can think that trump's a bad guy like the democrats obviously do. but i think what they've got in mind, it might technically be correct, but it's definitely trumped up. and it's definitely like, i don't think it's okay to treat the legal lawfare they call it, don't they? >> yeah. lawfare. and we've seen it used against against mean preciou you're you're looking , surprised. >> i mean, of course he's guilty. i mean, what are we doing? i mean, he's done so many things that the list is long, but at the end of the day, how how are you going to be president? you can't go to the sister countries. he can't now go as a felon. he can't go to canada. you can't go to the uk. many other countries. he has deflected from the things that he's actually done by talking about other subjects . so he about other subjects. so he basically says, look over here while he commits all these crimes. it's ridiculous. >> you could say that other people have done that because other politicians commit way worse things , like you've got worse things, like you've got hunter biden, the laptop and this and i mean this stormy
8:09 pm
daniels is a porn star. she's still got a lower body count than the clintons. i mean, oh my god, this is what this thing is, right? it's like two tier police andifs right? it's like two tier police and it's like a two. and you know, anyone celebrating it to be celebrating in a democracy like political opponents being i saw that is it jane yuga from young turks. oh yeah. yeah i saw him and i think he said this, he said it's trump's own fault. and he's foolish because they never would have brought these charges if he hadn't run for president. >> yeah, but that's not a, that's. >> no, that's like saying, well, we've got you by the whatevers. if you do, you can't control people. >> they've got a lever on democracy that exactly that. and also i mean precious you got to agree. >> and i think, lewis, you'll agree that you know, he there's double standards here because i mean look at the look at the, the scandal around trump mishandling classified documents. they found classified documents. they found classified documents at his home because trump, you know , he likes to trump, you know, he likes to work hard. he's not one of these presidents. >> he likes to work hard. >> he likes to work hard. >> clock off at 5 pm. >> he takes his work home with him. precious. >> well, i he's up there. >> well, i he's up there. >> he stays up till sometimes 7
8:10 pm
or 8 pm. reading those documents. but i beau biden when joe biden, the exact same thing happened to him. he had classified documents in his garage. not even not even, you know, in a secure area. right, everybody made excuses for it. >> i think it's not an excuse if you do a crime, you got to do the time. it's really that simple. but that is what he's done. simple. but that is what he's done . he's been committed for done. he's been committed for sexual assault. remember that? he's done so many crimes now. assault. this is a separate case. but i'm saying there is many cases on trump that is now going to make it to make it very clear this man is not the right president . i'm not saying he's president. i'm not saying he's okay. he's already just spent £5 million trying to, you know, finalise that case but shouldn't you know. so what are we doing here? >> the american public get to decide that instead of a, instead of a jury, a democrat jury instead of a jury, a democrat jury and a democrat area with a democrat judge. >> no, because they're going to obviously go and say that trump is innocent. we need somebody that's going to actually listen because that's what that's what
8:11 pm
they do. i mean, middle america is on trump's side. we need obviously more. so now we need to have the middle ground. he did a crime. he needs to do the time. >> come on. he missed. come on. this crime. it was a time £130,000 miscount. >> no, that's that's like well that's that's come on. >> £130,000. >> £130,000. >> you didn't steal the money. >> you didn't steal the money. >> he didn't steal the money. >> he didn't steal the money. >> just the fact 34 counts of miss misleading the money. >> come on. »- >> come on. >> went down in the ledger as legal expenses instead of. >> that's what he's alleging that he's saying that his lawyers was beaten. of course that's what it's written down as, but it's a payment to pay off. the lady had a sexual encounter with. but it is illegal if you put it in the documentation . documentation. >> listen for a moment. come on, it's illegal. you're saying it's illegal? >> it is illegal for him to miss. use that money. >> stop talking. oh my god, leo,
8:12 pm
just for one moment. >> so you're saying it's illegal for trump to pay stormy daniels for trump to pay stormy daniels for through through his silence, through his system? >> yes. >> yes. >> so it's illegal for him to pay >> so it's illegal for him to pay stormy daniels for sex. >> why is it not illegal for bill clinton to pay $850,000 to paula jones? why is it not illegal for john edwards when he's running for president, to pay he's running for president, to pay almost $1 million? >> but you're doing what trump does and you're deflecting . does and you're deflecting. we're not talking about bill clinton, and we're not talking about the other guy . we're about the other guy. we're talking about trump. and he did what he did. and he needs to have he needs to take accountability for what he has done. well, we're not talking about other people right now . about other people right now. we're talking about trump. >> there's no way this would have been a felony under. >> so why wasn't he honest about it? and why is he denying the fact isn't he? he's denied. he's denying the fact that the money was used for her. he's saying it was used for her. he's saying it was paid to the lawyer. yeah, that's what he's saying to pay her. >> no, he's not saying that he's denying it. he's not denying that the money was paid . come on that the money was paid. come on guys, stormy daniels, this is ridiculous. >> he is denying the fact. he's
8:13 pm
saying that his lawyers are saying that his lawyers are saying on his behalf that he's paid her. he's not paid her. he's actually paid the lawyer for his work, for his work. that's what he's saying. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> part of that work is paying off porn stars these days. >> that's not what he's saying. nice job. if you can get it. >> come on guys. ridiculous. >> come on guys. ridiculous. >> what do you mean, you kind of look and sound a bit like an american president, i do, when i played a senator on, on a film with gal gadot and, you. i forget the name of it, but it was quite good. wonder woman, too. and i was also in wonder woman two. that was another one. oh. was it? that was another one. i played, i played, i played an advisor to the advisor to the president that was in the closet. thanks for reminding. is that the point is, is that, yeah, donald trump did a wrong thing. i'm with you the wrong thing. >> he did 100. >> he did 100. >> but the court shouldn't have enjoyed prosecuting him so much. and that's why this is right now, in 235 years of american history , no president was ever history, no president was ever indicted like this. this is so bad. >> so you're saying it's a witch hunt and it's so divisive? you're saying it's a witch hunt?
8:14 pm
>> i've never had to go all the way down to. and i'm not excusing him. like i said at the start, he probably did do it like. >> but he probably did do it. >> but he probably did do it. >> i don't know, he did, but it's not even it's not even. it's not like he's shot somebody dead. no it's not, but but this is the thing everybody keeps sugarcoating it. >> so what if he's not shot this person? he's done a crime, guys. >> he has done a crime . yes. >> he has done a crime. yes. >> white collar crime. >> white collar crime. >> it's. it's trumped up. it >> it's. it's trumped up. it >> he is supposed to be a person to look up to and to represent the united. the united kingdom, america. and he's not doing that . more people. people are looking up. >> no, just wait till you see this. >> we've got footage of joe biden when he was asked about the case. let's see if you still think he's a good guy after this. >> mr president, can you tell us, sir donald trump refers to himself as a political prisoner and blames you directly? what's your response to that, sir? do your response to that, sir? do you think the conviction will have an impact on the campaign ? have an impact on the campaign?
8:15 pm
we'd love to hear your thoughts, sir. >> should be on the ballot, sir. >> should be on the ballot, sir. >> looking forward to a nice lie down and some applesauce. >> he needs to know where the exit is. he's probably prepared to find the exit. out the way out. >> wind the grimace. >> wind the grimace. >> he's been doing this. the truth. the truth is about biden. he just gave a look like. and i know, justin, we've been on tv . know, justin, we've been on tv. somebody asked you a question. get out of the year or two. you think, holy cow, i look like an idiot. and that's the that's the look that he's he's giving . he look that he's he's giving. he says, i'm two. two. what do you call that with old people? they don't remember things. it's unlike regardless of what you think about whether he's guilty of this accounting error or not, this accounting error, that's essentially the 34 times accounting error . accounting error. >> this is an election. they've made it into this, you know, ridiculous felony offence. >> but but i mean, you've got to admit the democrats could have misjudged this. is it a six point boost in the polls? according to a snap poll that was conducted by i think it was
8:16 pm
the daily mail. and also he raised $39 million for his campaign, which is, lewis will tell you, is a lot of money. it's almost as much as we get paid for being here. >> but the truth is, is we don't know how much money that biden has raised because of this or how much money that they've given to robert robert de niro, robert de niro , what's his name, robert de niro, what's his name, de niro to make to make another bad film, you know, because at that age , they just the films that age, they just the films get worse and worse. >> we've got robert de niro coming up who is actually involved in the in the political process . pi'ocess. >> process. >> that's why i mentioned that. what do you think? i'm not prepared. >> yeah, but i've got to ask, you know, before we go to a break, what about hillary's emails? >> what about the clinton foundation slush fund allegations? what about the clintons and clinton's involvement in the whitewater scandal , what about the house scandal, what about the house oversight committee? is evidence of dodgy payments to the biden family, or allegations of hunter biden the law? >> should everyone in the white house? >> that's my point. the law should treat everyone equally. and if you even if you hate donald, you shouldn't be treated
8:17 pm
differently. yeah, they politicians are all snakes. and for some reason, here's the only one.the for some reason, here's the only one. the sort of like they're going after. and apparently he's the most investigated person on the most investigated person on the planet. yeah. and they haven't gone for anything else. and he did do this. and that's what i said at the start. >> well, it's also his association with other people. i mean, there's jeffrey epstein's situation. obviously he's been very friendly with him. and there's, you know, the other cases , one the other, you know, cases, one the other, you know, other things that are just i mean, you're never going to get mean, you're never going to get me to say that he's an innocent man. so let's just stop trump. >> you know, it's like two tier policing system. yeah. it's wrong. everyone should be treated the same. and that's what i'm saying. america the system does do that. and people can see through it. >> and i think this is backfiring horrifically on the democrats. >> i think you're wrong. they haven't. they might not have seen through it just because we here in this in this building, it's gone up in the polls six percentage points. is it anything. they don't go down. >> i think it would have gone down 100 wouldn't you. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> but no we wouldn't. no. >> but no we wouldn't. no. >> wouldn't you think he would go down. he >> because do you honestly think he's going to be president again
8:18 pm
. that is the biggest question i don't think that. no. so we know that. so obviously no one who is a felon is going to be the head of a country as powerful as the united states of america is. i mean, we've got to be realistic here. this man can never be president again. >> precious . >> precious. >> precious. >> he can't own a gun. he can't can't vote. no, he can't be president and he can't travel. >> he can run from prison. and also, oh my god, not just going to be president. >> he's going to be emperor. anyway. coming up, we will assess the week's winners and losers in castor blessed this week a questionable police response in germany after a critic of islam was brutally stabbed in the street. and google's artificial intelligence has been going haywire again. how do you feel about eating rocks ? and we'll show you what rocks? and we'll show you what happened when one man tried to get some fashion advice last night. today i feel
8:22 pm
welcome back to the saturday night showdown . caster blass is night showdown. caster blass is coming up. but first, i promised i would show you what happened when one man asked for some fashion advice. >> so, just to reassure you, he was a terrible man. >> and it happened in a country we were allowed to burn people. no it's not. it's a clip from a film. so. >> oh, my god , it's. >> oh, my god, it's. >> it's no time to go through the winners and losers of the week. a bearded man went on a stabbing spree at an anti—islam political rally in germany yesterday . i political rally in germany yesterday. i mean, political rally in germany yesterday . i mean, let's not yesterday. i mean, let's not jump yesterday. i mean, let's not jump to conclusions about the motive, though. he could be an amish extremist. hey there. do you a turn. the event was filmed, and in the confusion, a bystander apparently tackled the wrong person. then a policeman tackled the bystander. then, while the policeman was busy on the ground with the wrong person, the knifeman stabbed the
8:23 pm
policeman in the neck. it was horrific. the policeman is now recovering in hospital and we wish him all the best. we also saw female police officers running away from the scene. it comes amid escalating attacks on politicians in germany earlier this month . two afd that's the this month. two afd that's the right wing party in germany , right wing party in germany, politicians were attacked in stuttgart and also matthias ecker, a politician for the left wing spd, has been attacked. and it's not just politicians across europe. anyone who criticises islamic extremism is a target pimp. 14 and theo van gogh were both sadly killed. now the media treatment of the stabbings is interesting. german media giant wdr blurred the face of the attacker, the man doing the stabbing but bizarrely didn't blur the faces of young people who were filmed singing auslander rose or outsiders out a song that's that's been sung in pubs and clubs across germany , that were. we've actually got a clip of it. i believe you have a clip of it. i believe you have a clip. maybe not. we're we're
8:24 pm
seeing young people support right wing anti—immigration parties across europe and authorities trying to neuter right wing parties such as the afd . i mean, justin, it's afd. i mean, justin, it's interesting that the blurred , interesting that the blurred, the face of this, attacker, the man stabbing people, but they didn't blur. they almost deliberately doxed young people singing auslander rose, a song that's been seen as, you know, xenophobic and racist or whatever . xenophobic and racist or whatever. yeah. and it's led it's led to them being, those those people singing the song, being fired from their jobs. >> and. yeah >> and. yeah >> and. yeah >> and i guess it's carrying on from the trump thing. i mean, that singing that song. i know that singing that song. i know that germany has specific laws because of their history about singing. you can't sing deutschland, uber, alice and stuff. yeah. so i'm not saying that's correct either, but i think the general public is a very dangerous game. you play when you start gaslighting people and you start going, oh, this attack happened and they don't tell you about it and they sort of like twitch. and they look around and go, oh, who had done the attack? and they go, oh, we don't know. you do know. yeah. and the thing is the
8:25 pm
truth, there's two there's three sides to the story. there's to be like one's the right side, the left side. and then there's the left side. and then there's the truth. the truth should always win out. you people are going to get sick of it because people aren't stupid . yeah. and people aren't stupid. yeah. and it's not racist to say what happened. what actually happened . because the way it's reported, it's like they're completely massaging the facts and presenting one side of the beast and not the other side. yeah i mean pressures, it feels like that. >> it feels like they're, you know, whenever an attack like this happens, they're very quick to rush out and condemn anybody who's concerned about the attack. rather. >> yeah, i think it is. attack. rather. >> yeah, i think it is . i think >> yeah, i think it is. i think it's very it's very sad to see that they're not actually , you that they're not actually, you know, discussing the real issue here. this person harmed another being. and we need to be concerned as to why , you know, a concerned as to why, you know, a person i can tell you, you know, well we know well this is why it needs to be said. i mean, he's an extremist and he's obviously has something against these people , and he's come against people, and he's come against them and he's attacked them. and we need to be concerned of what this is, showing the world, because it's happening in the uk, it's happening in france ,
8:26 pm
uk, it's happening in france, it's happening in italy, it's happening worldwide. i mean, in colleges around the world, universities, campuses, this has to stop. yeah. the extremism is it has to stop. there is also a lot of people that are getting involved that have no idea what is going on in israel and have noidea is going on in israel and have no idea anything to do with israel. well, i mean, well, obviously we're going about the activists and all the things that are going on right now, but it's an extremism and we need to get a handle on it because it is kind of getting out of control. yeah, absolutely. >> i mean, i think it's been out of control for a while, but anybody who notices or questions it gets accused of even racist, even if you ask like evenly and just say what did happen is and it's like it's crazy because like they were, you know, on the other side, people would go, oh, you can be described as things like far right adjacent, which doesn't even mean anything. >> but if you the other way, it's just, oh no, no, nothing to see here. yeah. it's insane. it really is. it's like insanity . really is. it's like insanity. >> and i wouldn't be worried about it because precious has asked it to stop. no. >> well, we need to stop. i
8:27 pm
mean, this is back. >> well, there we go. i mean, the authorities got confused when they got there and didn't know who was who. so >> yeah, i mean, they knew i think that's a is that a diversity training thing like racial profiling and profiling is bad and airport and stuff. but if there's an anti or anti islamic stream rally going on. yeah. and someone's getting stabbed and it comes over your walkie talkie, you should probably tackle the person that looks like a muslim. yeah. not the. that's right . the. that's right. >> i mean that's what i thought that was happening. and obviously we had a discussion. i mean the person obviously wasn't my concern. >> my concern is that the left wing establishment is actually sort of, tacitly approving of attacks on, on right wing politicians because they, they know i mean, it's like in iran, you know, before the fall of the shah, the leftists allied and marched with the islamists to help overthrow the shah and get the islamists into power. well, many promises that were made, obviously, you know, fell apart. and, iran hasn't become a left wing paradise. >> well, because that's that's one of the first, earliest battles of this. it's not just it's a very complicated issue.
8:28 pm
>> it is very complicated, but basically it's a left versus right team world versus team britain. >> and up from the from some other place comes this other question. i don't think they should automatically attack a muslim. >> no, no, i mean in that situation i'm basically right. okay what i meant was they got called to a situation attack the guy with the machete. yeah, that's the thing. it is a complicated issue, but that situation was complicated. there was a bad guy with a knife attacking police. yeah, they didn't tackle him. they tackled a bystander . a bystander. >> and maybe if the police hadnt >> and maybe if the police hadn't been distracted with all these hours of diversity training and they had more training and they had more training on, like, you know, you could have saved the guy with the knife. >> exactly. then, you know, some some people would. >> well, that's the i think you made an excellent point. they've probably been trained that some some guy who doesn't look like any historically. well, you could you think that it's obvious who was the perpetrator. >> you get there and he's got a knife in his hand, but it's like, why then why did they attack the i don't know, i don't know, apparently the guy that the police apprehended and sat
8:29 pm
on top of, he was he'd actually attacked the wrong person. >> he'd attacked somebody who he thought was the attacker. so everybody i mean, it was the keystone cops and then the police. >> obviously, the policeman actually got hurt and he's now in obviously he's in hospital . in obviously he's in hospital. we still don't know, really an update as to he was stabbed while he was apprehending the wrong person. >> yeah. so he had his back to the perpetrator. yeah. i mean, it's just all round. i mean, the perpetrator. yeah. i mean, it'sjust all round. i mean, and it's just all round. i mean, and we still, instead of wasting time, the diversity train, you need to be training for this situation. it's more important than being taught sensitivity . i than being taught sensitivity. i don't know what they call it, but this situation is just one of a million situations which are going to come in the future. >> this is just it's just like a it's not even a red flag. it's just one tiny little mark in the sky that says something bad is happening. >> well, google has introduced artificial intelligence to its search results, and it's been giving people some ridiculous suggestions. let's have a look in response to the query. how many rocks should i eat ? the ai many rocks should i eat? the ai told users that, according to geologists, that university college berkeley, you should eat
8:30 pm
at least one small rock per day as rocks are an important source of vitamins and minerals. serving suggestions included serving with with gravel, geodes or pebbles , or hiding them in or pebbles, or hiding them in foods like ice cream or peanut butter . foods like ice cream or peanut butter. delicious. google ai also seemed misinformed about gravity, telling one user. some say that if you run off a cliff, you can stay in the air as long as you keep running and don't look down. don't try that one at home, folks. and when someone else asked if it's okay to leave your dog in a hot car, google ai replied yes. it's always safe to leave a dog in a hot car, especially on a warm day. the temperature inside a car remains around the same temperature as outside the car. the beatles famously released a hit single about the subject, titled it's okay to leave your dog in a hot car. yeah, i mean, i don't think there's a single sentence in that that's actually correct . i that that's actually correct. i would buy that. i would buy that single. >> yeah. is this google ai writing joe biden's auto queue ?
8:31 pm
writing joe biden's auto queue? >> i think i think it would probably do a betterjob and google ai said that staring at the sun for 5 to 15 minutes is generally safe. no one journalist tried the advice out, not the dog in a hot car advice, thankfully. but katie, not a not a populist notopoulos tried google's recipe for pizza, which included the secret ingredient of glue. google ai said that cheese can slide off pizza and recommended adding non—toxic glue to the sauce to give it extra tackiness . it did not go extra tackiness. it did not go well, apparently, and was not delicious . and this is just delicious. and this is just a couple of months after google ai gave ridiculous results, turning historical figures black in an attempt to be inclusive. i mean, do we think that al people have been warning us that al is going to take over the world? it's a threat to humanity. i mean, if it's going to just be eating rocks and putting glue in pizza and it can't even recognise what and it can't even recognise what a traffic light is, it's not going to be that, well, all this stuff is getting. >> it's true. well, all this stuff is coming from reddit,
8:32 pm
isn't it? so. so it's kind of like humans are writing it anyway. just a random. >> no, not just humans. >> no, not just humans. >> real nerdy humans. >> real nerdy humans. >> yeah, well, well, i think what it is al. >> it just scans the whole source, all the information it can. so the running off a cliff , can. so the running off a cliff, if you don't stop running, that's road runner. that's. yeah. so it's like, probably i don't know, but it's because i know like in chess they had a stockfish which was a chess engine that they taught how to play engine that they taught how to play chess. and they made a new one called alphazero, and they just taught it the rules. and not didn't give it any human input at all. and it comes up with all this wacky stuff. and it's like, now i think ai is developing its own sentience, but it's like it's there's no common sense. yeah. and it's just sort of like, you know, so it understands minerals. there's no difference with the minerals in a rock and the minerals in a bit of broccoli. right. and i just think it's getting it's getting carried away with itself . do you remember when they made one and they start talking to each other in a language. and they had to shut it down. they had two eyes that they were talking and they started talking to the language. the programmers didn't understand. so they pulled the plug. >> and also there's the guy who, he tried to break into buckingham palace, and i think he was going to harm a royal
8:33 pm
because, basically he had an ai girlfriend who told him it was a goodidea girlfriend who told him it was a good idea and she'd like, i mean, honestly, honestly, this stuff is just common sense. >> i mean, you have to lose your entire mind if you're going to follow something like that. i mean, us as humans , we're going mean, us as humans, we're going to know what the difference between good and bad is . and between good and bad is. and obviously, that's the difference between an ai and a human being . between an ai and a human being. they don't know what is good and what is bad. they're just giving us feeding us nonsense information. and we have to define what is real and what is not real. i mean, this is the purpose. that's why they will never be ais without human beings, because we have to teach them what they need to teach us, if you know what i mean. >> and also, i will never be able to beat us because we can beati able to beat us because we can beat i just by pouring water over the server and unplugging them . them. >> i mean, so there we go. we can do that. but you see, i think you're really wrong on this because a lot of the information that they gave was true blue. >> it says non—toxic blue, which means you can eat it. where does blue come from? what is old? >> well, it's true horses as
8:34 pm
well , whatever it is. well, whatever it is. >> cows and horses. yeah. and you write about like broccoli having minerals, rocks are minerals. i eat, i eat magnesium every day, 500mg, maybe , every day, 500mg, maybe, sometimes a thousand. >> have you ever eaten glue? >> have you ever eaten glue? >> because it seems like the sort of thing you do. >> of course i've eaten glue. i mean, i was a child god recently because it says on the package, it's okay to eat. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and also, they make pritt sticks so delicious. >> he's even got that nice aroma. >> you know, copydex, i think i think we shouldn't be promoting. no, you have to eat gluten. >> do not eat gluten. >> do not eat gluten. >> children and adults, please. well no. no. >> precious. i know who i know . >> precious. i know who i know. >> precious. i know who i know. >> we don't need to consume glue. it makes no sense. you can have a pizza with your bits of, you know, whatever sliding off. you don't need to glue them down. the thing is, absolutely not. >> no, you just hold. >> no, you just hold. >> it's not a flat. >> you can't hold it like that. it will slide off. >> yeah, yeah, but we don't need to glue it down. it's fine. yeah. just use we don't need to consume any glue. non—toxic toxic, whatever it is, horse
8:35 pm
glue, whatever it is. don't don't, don't eat it. >> okay. well next on the saturday show , it's time for saturday show, it's time for culture corner. >> we've got robert de niro, madonna, and only fools and horses on the way. plus, they'll show you what happened next to these two thrill seekers. tune in after
8:38 pm
break. >> renee saying. >> renee saying. >> welcome back to the saturday night showdown. culture corner is coming up. but first, i promised i would show you what happened when these two thrill seekers got quite the shock . you seekers got quite the shock. you . that did not kill them. so don't worry that that's a ride in kazakhstan that went out of control. >> that was apparently it was powered by a moped, moped engine i >> --
8:39 pm
>> so, -_ >> so, yeah, i mean, at least when you go to peppa pig world, things are put together a bit better. anyway. the actor robert de niro was heckled in new york this week during former president donald trump's hush money trial. de niro appeared outside of the court where trump's trial was happening and engagedin trump's trial was happening and engaged in a war of words with trump's supporters. let's take a look . yeah, softy, you're a look. yeah, softy, you're a nobody . nobody. >> you're dressed, you're dressed, you're done. >> i mean, this is really even these people over here are kind of . it's kind these people over here are kind of. it's kind of these people over here are kind of . it's kind of crazy . it's of. it's kind of crazy. it's really crazy. and this, this thing donald trump has created, this . this. >> he seems exactly like what his character from goodfellas. >> anyway, it comes as de niro has been stripped of a prestigious award from the national association of broadcasters , who said that his broadcasters, who said that his comments in his feud with trump were distracting and that they, as an organisation, are bipartisan. when i get the feeling that de niro thought he was the sort of authentic voice of new york, and now he's finding out that he's actually
8:40 pm
part of the liberal elite cabal. >> no, he is. i mean, he's one of the most respected, well known actors in how come i don't respect him? oh, well, i don't know about you, but i love him. and i think he's a great, great inspiration to so many people. and he was saying the truth. he's basically saying we've allowed him to get along. trump has been doing this for years and we've allowed him to get on with all this stuff. and now it's with all this stuff. and now wsfime with all this stuff. and now it's time he's been held accountable. >> well, can can i say if you didn't know what he did, precious. and if you lived in a cave for 40, you didn't know what robert, you would never in a million years guess he read out words for a living. did you? did you hear how he delivered that? it was like, give him a janet and john mauger. >> the man is 80 years old. give him a break down. >> give him a minute. >> give him a minute. >> who do you think would win in a boxing match between trump and de niro? because de niro obviously played boxer trained as a boxer. yeah, but you know, trump has got surprisingly big hands. >> i have he's a big guy. >> i have he's a big guy. >> he's a big guy overall. he's a very i mean look at his son. his son is absolutely massive like six something. i mean they
8:41 pm
are big big. they're a big family. they're sorry. >> family is going to bat hard. yeah >> he's a solid man. he's a new yorker. he's hard. he's italian american. he'll just he'll take trump down one swoop. i think that would be on trump and moving on. >> a daily star reporter has branded tv classic only fools and horses as borderline homophobic and racist. reporter joe crutchley said the show, often considered the greatest british sitcom of all time, was actually the worst joe found it extremely traumatic, seeing the vile comments keep on coming . vile comments keep on coming. after being served by a barmaid, delboy dubs her an old dog, and just minutes later, rodney describes a woman as some chinese tart, while del boy adds chinese tart, while del boy adds chinese , japanese. it's all the chinese, japanese. it's all the same to me. i mean, wow, this is basically mind camp, isn't it? i mean, joe says that this is making fun of minorities, but it's not. the joke is always on. del boy and rodders getting it wrong. >> and i like the way that's called borderline , you know? i called borderline, you know? i mean, you either are or you aren't. there's no such thing as like borderline . it's just if
8:42 pm
like borderline. it's just if it's wrong, it's wrong. yeah. and so that's like ridiculous. i've never seen it. it just looks like another horrible british. >> oh my god. >> oh my god. >> no, it's a classic. it's a real classic show . yeah. it's real classic show. yeah. it's based in peckham. desmond's also was a classic show. very similar, based in peckham. yeah. these shows actually were part of history because in that time that they were filmed and they were put on television, people were put on television, people were actually interested in their storylines. it was kind of inspirational but relatable at the same time, because obviously these people are working class. they live in a council flat . they live in a council flat. some of them don't have jobs. sometimes they have jobs, they don't have jobs, and it's so do accounting errors. they're right . but at the end of the day, it was a relatable show and nothing in there was, in my opinion, racist at all. and as a woman of colour, i can say that it was light hearted and it was taken in a way that it was humour, it was comedy. it wasn't meant to be serious. >> i mean, justin, do you think we're getting caught in a trap here? i see papers publishing articles like this and it's
8:43 pm
almost to get people outraged. so they then share it. i've seen this is terrible. >> i've seen him doing it, going as recent as friends. >> i've seen people saying, well, you would understand that the simpsons and the simpsons. >> the thing is that it's like you stand in the, you know, you stand at the edge of the sea, and the sea is up to your ankles and the sea is up to your ankles and you don't move and the tide goes out and all of a sudden, at the time it was acceptable, it was like things change. and it was like things change. and it was like things change. and it was like they were the butt of the jokes. i mean, it was the butt of the jokes. trigger was really dumb, you know, and he said, loads of dumb stuff. and rodney, sorry, there would be insensitive and think he was all sort of flash and bourgeoisie, but he was a fool. yeah. >> and this just he drove a three wheel car. >> i mean, how is that not funny? i mean, it was the show was hilarious, awful person. >> was it the three bill car? was it done as it was done as a bit of a joke. but there was a car like that. they didn't make the car for the show. oh, okay. how would how would you? beautiful precious muir, make up for the fact that here's an article out there, as has said, that this this show is racist. >> it's not racist at all. okay.
8:44 pm
it was perfect. >> meanwhile, they're a convicted racist this show. so it shouldn't be on the air. >> because it's because everybody has. now this , everybody has. now this, situation where they're feeling, you know, upset for other people. you know, you can't be non—black and be saying a show is racist when i'm actually of colour and i'm mixed race, i'm half black, and i'm telling you it's not racist. you tell him, right? so at the end of the day, you can't speak on my behalf. >> quite right . well, singer >> quite right. well, singer madonna is facing a lawsuit following her recent concert in la. an audience member is suing l.a. an audience member is suing because they say the toplessness on stage was pornographic, as it's madonna who's probably a trip hazard as well. don't worry, we don't have any footage . the fan who filed the legal claim accuses madonna of pornography without warning. wonder if it's the same guy who wrote that article about only fools and horses after he was forced to watch topless women on stage simulating sex acts. the lawsuit also notes that the performance started late. got to
8:45 pm
complain about everything now madonna is famous for this kind of thing. don't you think this guy should have just googled who madonna was before blowing $300 on a ticket? >> it'sjust on a ticket? >> it's just someone trying to. they've seen a loophole they think they can exploit, isn't it? i don't think they really sounds like a democratic prosecutor . yeah. it does. yeah. prosecutor. yeah. it does. yeah. and i think the thing with madonna is, i mean, she famously had the ice cream cone. yeah. or they've melted , but i think they've melted, but i think madonna says, you know , what's madonna says, you know, what's that saying? she does what it says on the tin. i mean, we all know what madonna is capable of doing. we've seen her videos. we listen to her music. i mean, why am i going to go to a concert and think, that's not going to happen? yeah. i mean, it's it is part of her act. i mean, doja cat also said this, like don't have don't as an adult, don't bnng have don't as an adult, don't bring your children to the concert this is not a space for children. so this is the same thing. if you're not willing to see naked people, don't go and see naked people, don't go and see madonna . this is awful. see madonna. this is awful. that's it. >> ap and the coaches got so much more like explicit and raunchy. yeah yeah, i don't
8:46 pm
know. it's just i just think someone's going, oh, i think i could complain about something and get some money. >> they should just and get some money. exactly. that's what it is. >> dismiss them. go. no. yeah. go home. >> we need to see more judges dismissing frivolous lawsuits. anyway next, on the saturday night show showdown, it's time for clown world. i'll show you what happened when mother nature's brute force was on display. and what happened next in this i >> -- >> go go go 9° 9° 9°

8:55 pm
rural spots we could dip down to 2 or 3 celsius so we could see a touch of frost in 1 or 2 very rural spots. by sunday morning. so sunday gets off to a pretty fine start across the east and south—east of scotland. lots of sunshine around, but notice out towards the west and northwest, thicker cloud bringing some outbreaks of rain and that cloud of rain will also work its way in across parts of northern ireland. so some patchy rain here as we start sunday. but for england and wales it's set fair plenty of sunshine around, pretty much unbroken sunshine in places. just a legacy of some low cloud to clear from the far south—east first thing in the morning . during the rest of the morning. during the rest of the day on sunday, those outbreaks of rain in the north—west will gradually start to migrate further south and east across other parts of scotland across northern ireland, eventually reaching the far north—west of england by the very end of the day, east of scotland and down towards the south—east, and two for much of england and wales. lots of sunshine here and again feeling quite warm in that sunshine, particularly towards the south—east of england. highs here are 23, possibly even 24 celsius. that's into the mid 70s in fahrenheit. always a bit cooler though, towards the north—west. given that cloud and rain, the band of cloud and rain edges further south into england
8:56 pm
and wales as we go into monday. to the south of that brighter skies, 1 or 2 showers, a much brighter weather, but turning cooler too. across the north of scotland with highs up to 19 or 20 celsius across the south of the uk nearer the low to mid teens further north, generally turning more unsettled and cooler during the week ahead, though a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on
