5:04 am
friends are two kosher comrades, josh howie and kerry marx. are you both doing . you both doing. >> that's good. let's make the star of david with our hands. it's not. oh, god. we've been practising all week . practising all week. >> like the nightmare cheerleader. >> yeah, something like synchronised swimming or something like that. yeah. >> should be at the olympics. anyway, that's enough chit chat. let's have a quick look at wednesday's front pages. the daily mail leads with shame of the child rioters. the daily telegraph has rioters face terror charges , warns director terror charges, warns director of public prosecutions. the guardian has lawyers fear for safety amid threats from far right. the times has thousands of police readied for fresh riots. the daily mirror has jail warning to rioters ten years hard labour. the daily star have get me out here nation's pet stressed by owner's farts . and stressed by owner's farts. and those were front pages . and
5:05 am
those were front pages. and let's have a closer look at those front pages. starting with the telegraph. and i believe it's something about riots. josh. >> yeah, well , possibly there's >> yeah, well, possibly there's could be a common theme about the show, but before we do that, let's do the top bit of the story. why is it so hard to adopt a cat .7 why is it.7 should adopt a cat.7 why is it.7 should we get it.7 no. okay, let's go on to the riots. fine let's do that one. let's do the adopted cat one, please . rioters face terror one, please. rioters face terror charges, warns the dpp. so, yeah. police braced for more violence today with 6000 specialist officers on standby, good to see them on standby. they haven't been on standby for ten months now, but now they've got 6000 people on standby. so that's. that's good, >> and, that was a joke about the palestinian. >> it was. i wa come on, i get >> it was. iwa come on, i get it.— >> it was. i wa come on, i get it. ._ >> it was. i wa come on, i get it. i think it was a joke. >> i think he meant it. yeah yeah, that's pretty angry. >> so yeah, there's comment. >> so yeah, there's comment. >> yeah. >> yeah. so >> yeah. so there's >> yeah. so there's talk >> yeah. so there's talk of. yeah as i say. and people sentenced to ten years hard labour whereas the rest of us just get five years hard labour. >> hey hey that's two jokes in
5:06 am
the first minute. i like that you're a labour voter, but you recognise they're only going to get five years. >> i'd be amazed if they make it to the end of the month. >> well we'll see. i mean, tories managed 14 years of travesty after travesty. >> so quite this bad. >> so quite this bad. >> but this is a lot that's happenedin >> but this is a lot that's happened in a month, isn't it.7 i mean, it's a real dissention into there is an argument. >> this is of course there's been a leader and i'm not trying to absolve starmer. we'll be going to get we'll do some starmer bashing. don't worry everybody. not literal. don't arrest me. but, but yes, there is a long lead in time that has got us to this point. >> the news is heavy, heavy, heavy right now isn't it. and it's and it's only going to get weightier at this point because it's hard to know whether they're throwing everything at this and causing more trouble, whether this is just going to be a self—fulfilling decision, with, with loads of new officers and terrorism laws being brought in as well, which is what the article is mostly about, which which seems a little bit dodgy. there may be cases where the terrorism law will come in, but of course, if you remember when the terrorism terrorism laws first came in, there was a lot of fears that they might get
5:07 am
abused and whether it now becomes someone throwing something who's got angry, whether this is all going to be one big gamble. jonathan hall of the kc is the government's independent reviewer for terror legislation, and he's saying be careful with this law and don't rush into it. and i think it's why they've put a picture of an upset gymnast next to the story, just to take her mind off it for a while. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and i mean, kyrees right. it could escalate because, i mean, this sort of feeds into the claims that the policing has been to tier , because we've got been to tier, because we've got these rioters being threatened with being prosecuted under terrorism laws when, you know, terrorism laws when, you know, terrorism is a very specific and defined meaning, it's, you know , defined meaning, it's, you know, it's committing violence, in pursuit of an ideal, a defined ideological or political, aim, which i think a lot of these rioters, you know, they might be violent, but i'm not sure how you know, ideologically driven. >> they're there's a lot of thuggery. >> there's a lot of stupidity, frankly. and there is also some proper racism going on, you know, as well, those things are existing. but there's also, you know, people walking around
5:08 am
machetes, you know, young muslim men. yeah. and now for me, it's like, look, i don't apply the correct laws. yes. but if you are going to push things a bit, make sure you're arresting everybody. >> you know, i think that's part of the crux of it though, is also there's all these different groups being amalgamated into just one expression, you know, andifs just one expression, you know, and it's rather than separating who's who, who's the racist, who are the ones with, with a genuine argument that they want discussed by the government and so on and with a real concern. who are the people who are just out to do violence just for the sheer hell of it.7 yeah. i mean, do we need to arrange somewhere where people can protest peacefully and get this out of their system and show how they feel, rather than lumping everyone together as one group and giving them no space whatsoever to do so. >> yeah. i mean, there were some protests in london arranged by tommy robinson and some other people that passed off pretty much uneventfully and quite peacefully. >> but he's still being threatened with prosecution for incitement . so, so yeah, and incitement. so, so yeah, and certainly with at the moment
5:09 am
there's a, there's a radical cleric who wants to buy a scottish island, to, to create. he's got like, he wants to set up a militant training facility and stuff. he's not being prosecuted under terror laws. it's like, can we just treat everybody? and surely if you're if you if you want to train a shana if you if you want to train a sharia army, then that's terrorism. and we can prosecute that. at least do that alongside the people chucking some bricks. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well we're going to we've got some more make it an island far away. >> it might be all right. not too close. yeah >> it's scotland and moving on. >> it's scotland and moving on. >> kerry, what's in the front cover of the guardian? >> oh, more of the same. there's a lot of the same going on, but from every angle. >> no, but they've got how to adopt a dog. >> they've how to adopt a, there's always a little story to take your mind off it a little bit, lawyers fear for safety amid threats from far. right. so now the, the lawyer. but basically what's happening is there's so much anger going on that it's going in every single direction. i think this is what's particularly disturbing about it is it's not directed. i almost feel as if we need to give lessons in school and to
5:10 am
how protest and also how to be angry, you know how to even if you're going to have a riot, maybe rioting lessons go. this is your target at least. no, but what you're trying to do is attack the library. well i know the library is out of the question. you know, you've got to be. it's too, too noisy for a library, you need to be directing your your anger at a government and making it clear how you feel about it, not taking it out on lawyers. and this is also following a circulation of a list of 60 immigration law and advice centres and, and i you know, obviously it's getting out of control at that point. yeah you know, we don't need to see people afraid to speak out or to do their jobs. yeah. >> the bottom lawyers should be able to, you know , everybody able to, you know, everybody deserves representation. so lawyers definitely shouldn't be targeted by by i mean, nobody should be targeted. >> no, no, of course, i mean, this is the thing. i mean, it's sort of sad almost, that you have to say that violence is wrong and there is no excuse for it. a lot of times people say that and then they do a but at the end of it, but but. that and then they do a but at the end of it, but but . at the the end of it, but but. at the end of this article on the front page, it says the community security trust, which is a jewish which monitors, investigates anti—semitism in
5:11 am
britain, has also warned that the jewish community might be targeted and raised concerns over. targeted and raised concerns over . but unfortunately, it over. but unfortunately, it doesn't go to the next discuss. so i don't know if it's from the far right neo—nazis. i don't know if it's from the islamists. it's so exciting. tune in to the guardian tomorrow to find out who's coming for us. >> he's coming for the jews. >> he's coming for the jews. >> doesn't make any difference anymore, does it ? anymore, does it? >> really? >> really? >> from what i've seen from the flags at any of the rallies, there seems to be a lot of israel flags there. so i think, you know, i think what's euphemistically termed the far right certainly includes people who stand up for the for the sovereignty of israel . sovereignty of israel. >> well, i mean, there is an argument for that, but there's also this argument that it's like just because i would argue that there are people at these marches who also hate jews and, just the fact that they hate the other, just that they hate they hate muslims more, doesn't make them friends of jewish people. yeah >> you know, but i mean, the real the genuine far right have allied with islamists over. >> yes. >> yes. >> well, that's the thing you
5:12 am
saw, i got. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> nick griffin and, you know, siding with the islamists and the ayatollah kind of bit that way, isn't he? >> yeah, yeah, yeah . >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> moving on. we've got the times. josh, what have they got on the cover , on the cover, >> yeah. something different here. so. yeah. harris brings waltz to the election dance. this is because, tim waltz is now going to be. is the vp candidate. he's a governor from minnesota. and, that what we miss on one of the other papers was actually the republicans. this suits them in some ways, because he they were banking harris's camp was sort of banking on him being quite sort of he served in the army reserves, and he's sort of, he was a teacher and he'd taught and he was a high school teacher. he'd also taught across in china and various other things that seem make him man of the people or person of the people or whatever it is. but actually, he'd pushed some quite extreme trans ideology laws through in his state. so that gives them this kind of the republicans can very easily attack it. if you've signed into
5:13 am
law that you think that tampons have to be put into boys bathrooms in schools, yeah. then arguably you are ideologically he signed into law that children could be taken away from their families if the parents refuse to allow them treatments and, and these blockers and so on, so harmful treatments. >> yeah. yeah. so and he also changed the flag in minnesota to something that looks suspiciously like the somali flag . yes, yes, he did start flag. yes, yes, he did start reading. i don't think it was suspicious at all. >> was it? it was it was the somali flag. >> he's he's a big fan of somalia. >> that's right . >> that's right. >> that's right. >> who isn't? but he has he has got a track record of winning over republicans. so it could be it could be a good move for kamala. she doesn't have much of a track record of winning over republicans, >> be interesting to see because he was more centrist before and now . and in the last five years now. and in the last five years he's shown he's, he's moved far more left and probably left of where she is, i think in many ways, during his two terms as governor, he's implemented policies, including paid family leave. >> actually sounds like a good idea. universal school breakfast i actually agree with that one. recreational marijuana
5:14 am
legalisation. >> these are good. >> these are good. >> like, no, no, you won me over. >> oven >> you've changed abortion access restrictions on gun ownership. so he's basically right wing for the uk. >> he's not from not for america actually a good guy. >> there was a bit i don't want to bring the whole i don't want to bring the whole i don't want to bring the whole i don't want to bring jews back into it again. but i will. what is it? i will, but there's been a big furore if you follow american politics, because one of the people that was being pushed as her vp guy, josh shapiro, he's jewish, a moderate jewish person, but there was a lot of sort of like, oh my god, we're going to lose votes amongst democrats because , you know, he democrats because, you know, he thinks that israel has a right to exist. so that was a big hoo ha about that and kind of disgusting. the other thing that he said that he grovelling sort of denounced israel. >> yeah. to get his chance and he lost it. >> so i think actually he lost the jewish vote at that point because a lot of jewish people didn't then want him to be. >> and it wasn't because of any views you have on israel. it was more the feeling that he could then be used as a scapegoat, so that any policies against israel will be allowed. >> and looking at the, the immigration policy in that part
5:15 am
of the world. so they, they , of the world. so they, they, they brought in a lot of somalis. and i think people from other parts of the muslim world and the progressive left thought it was amazing. this was a real slap in the face for the trump administration. and they thought it was going to be wonderful. and then the muslims took control of the council. the town council in hamtramck. and the first thing they did was ban the pride flag. it was just fantastic. and then all these liberals were like, no, you're supposed to support us back. and it's like, that's not how things work. that isn't things aren't transactional like that. you know, these are ideological people. >> yeah. well, one more thing i just want to say about waltz's, he's the guy who said about trump being weird, and it seems to be like, the only thing that has actually affected trump because he's come out and said , because he's come out and said, nobody's ever called me weird. i'm not. i'm a lot of weird. >> i'm a lot of things, but weird. >> i'm not. and it's just. which is exactly what someone weird would say. yeah well, i think it's a bit rich. >> the democrats pointing the finger and calling people weird because they don't have blue hair and in 17 genders. >> anyway, that's the front covers out of the way. join us in part two for news on britain,
5:19 am
welcome back to headliners. i'm still leo carson. i'm still joined by friends , co—workers joined by friends, co—workers and occasional lovers josh howie and occasional lovers josh howie and carrie marks. >> that's how good's the show goes, doesn't it? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> you kick off this section with wednesday's daily meal. josh and two tier keir promises to take all necessary action to end the riots, other than addressing the underlying causal issues or acknowledging people's legitimate grievances, of coui'se. >> course. >> yeah , that would be a start. >> yeah, that would be a start. possibly, yeah. keir starmer to hold another emergency cobra meeting this evening over week long riots crisis. so yeah, the two keir starmer i mean it's just unfortunate timing that it happened. just unfortunate timing that it happened . the reality is that happened. the reality is that the two, the two tier thing has been going on for, like i say, the last ten months at least. but, but yes, it rhymes with
5:20 am
it's better than two tier. rishi. rishi. rishi sunak or whatever. rishi. so yeah as you say, he vows to take all necessary action apart from actually listening to people with a different set of ideas . with a different set of ideas. and his inflexible ness makes him look bad because it's there has to be someone, you know. there's a lot of people working for him and advisers, and surely someone could sort of step in and just go, you know what, keir? there's actually some legitimate concerns here. of course, violence is wrong. and we know that and there's no justification. but maybe we should sort of throw a bone to some of the underlying causes here. yeah. and it's really affecting a yougov poll, says that 40 by 49% to 31% britons think that keir starmer is handung think that keir starmer is handling the riots badly. >> i mean, that's a pretty which percentage by 49%, 49% of all britons. right. so basically half of all britons think that he's handling it badly. yeah, 31% think that he's handling it
5:21 am
well. >> yeah . it's well. >> yeah. it's i mean i think most people then we're not blind. we're not stupid. people can see this is much this has been a longer lead in than just something that happened on the you know, that terrible tragedy with the three girls, murdered . with the three girls, murdered. and, and so to sort of phase it like, it's just sort of appeared out of nowhere. it's just not it's not helping the situation. if anything, it's hurting. >> kyrees used it almost. i mean, some, some people would say , such as me, i'm just about say, such as me, i'm just about to do it. they cynically exploited this situation to award himself all these powers, to, you know, he's he says he's getting some sort of standing army, and he's given himself extra powers for social to monitor social media and all the rest of it. and he's also used it to smear his enemies, which is, you know, it's a pretty sick thing to do. and what the nation really needs him to do is to unite the nation and take the you know, defuse the tensions rather than exacerbate them . rather than exacerbate them. >> absolutely. and i think there's always what we had
5:22 am
before with the black lives matter was defund the police. and then then now we get this kind of over funding or over police and both might be a very badidea police and both might be a very bad idea for a whole lot of reasons . and it's interesting to reasons. and it's interesting to see what's going to happen, whether he's going to come out of this looking tough or whether he is completely misread the room and the country as a whole, he called another cobra meeting, this morning, which always sounds to me like this an escaped snake, but unfortunately it's not quite that . and yeah, it's not quite that. and yeah, there's some talk of throwing. we'll come to this in a while. in fact, the prison thing about what we're going to do with all these people that are apparently we going to arrest in a hurry with no space in our prisons, i predict that will be coming up, i agree with josh. josh as well. we've had ten months of protests with everything they're saying, nazi signs. we've and i've mentioned this before on the program, but, synagogues being vandalised and so on, and there's been none of this tough talk, like, at all. like zero. and for it to come out of nowhere, to go so strong now . nowhere, to go so strong now. no, now you've crossed the line because, a mosque gets damaged and so on. and that's100% and so on. and that's 100% wrong. all of this has been 100% wrong, and it's been 100% no action whatsoever until suddenly
5:23 am
there's got to be loads of action. so, you know, emotions are running high. and also there's a lot of blame going to on the social media, which i think some of that's fair. but the trouble is, i'm not myself particularly trusting mainstream media at the moment, which isn't covering anything. well, it's hardly showing any of the muslim groups that are rising up. and also, what's the leading dangerous? >> what's the leader? >> what's the leader? >> this is the mainstream media. they turn up to try and, you know, show, you know, far right thuggery and then half the time in the background you get a mob of stabbing their tyres like machetes, trying to stab their tyres, making gun pointing, you know, fake guns at them. >> if you believe, if you believe bbc news at the moment, then what's going on in bangladesh is euphoria rather than also massive uprising. we're not getting a clear story. and this is the problem is if you're going to blame social media, then then media has to be a bit more responsible . yeah. a bit more responsible. yeah. >> and staying with the riots, we've got wednesday's express express next with the two tier media finally forced to acknowledge that the mobs of armed muslim men attacking people in the streets of britain
5:24 am
are also bad, scary . are also bad, scary. >> yeah, the birmingham riots. oh, this is the lbc reporter who end up. i don't know why i'm laughing. i'm just fed up with this whole thing, really. i'm just going , i'm just going just going, i'm just going gradually insane now i'm going to become hysterical in a bit, so yeah, this this is , the bbc. so yeah, this this is, the bbc. so the lbc reporter who fled from an armed mob, it says it was the same day a mob carrying palestinian flags beat and they miss right . palestinian flags beat and they miss right. the word here palestinian flags beat and they miss right . the word here alone, miss right. the word here alone, they mean a lone man. but they've written a lone man, which sounds like they're now going after people who are experiencing loneliness, which is really awful . i'll read the is really awful. i'll read the briefs of the very quick version of what happened, he said. we were walking along, large number came out to protect of muslims, came out to protect of muslims, came out to protect of muslims, came out to protect their neighbourhood, masked flying palestinian flags and for some, carrying what appeared to be weapons , we should regret. we weapons, we should regret. we should regret being in the area. asked to leave immediately. one was carrying a metal pole. we turn around and walked the other way. we started chasing. they were shouting after us and then for 20 minutes, every way we
5:25 am
turned, we faced more and more dodgy looks and cars appearing to be circling around us. at the same time, we now know a crew from sky news was also forced off air and had their tyres stabbed by another man like, hey starmer, i think you might have forgotten to mention this side of things . of things. >> yeah, and it's not all far, right? >> thugs? there's no mention of these. these mobs of muslim men who we've clearly seen on social media. i mean, this is why starmer wants to shut down social media, because it's revealing what he's not. it's contradicting his propaganda. and it's absolutely horrific. we've we've i think we've got a clip to play right now. >> community leaders have been speaking to the police as well because free palestine, free palestine easier maybe i think apologies for the language you're hearing, but a sense of the anger. i think you can hear there. >> yeah. casey, i think we saw ali g wants a free palestine . ali g wants a free palestine. >> so a few things that are interesting about that clip. first of all, one of the things if you turn it up, you can hear f the jews. yeah. >> and did you turn it up? >> and did you turn it up? >> i did turn it up.
5:26 am
>> i did turn it up. >> just just to hear repeatedly . >> just just to hear repeatedly. >> just just to hear repeatedly. >> is that what i'm thinking? >> is that what i'm thinking? >> is that what i think? >> is that what i think? >> is that what i think? >> i can hear? it does say that, and then if you make you happy, you keep on saying it. >> but, jess phillips, put that put that very clip up and sort of tried to defend them and go, look, they were told blaming the mr farage. it was like, can you not just call out this terrible imagery here? sky then then put out a tweet later about how their tires be slashed . they their tires be slashed. they deleted the tweet. so again, this is self—censorship. >> on their website, it was phrased as if they said, oh, when we're at a far right protest, our tires were slashed as if it was obviously, you know, some some white thugs wrapped in england, put it into the people rather than the active. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> again, this is what i think really just frustrates people not to make the point that violence is ever acceptable. this is just frustrating people. people are not stupid. people can see what's going on here. they can see the two tier ness of how this information is delivered to us or not delivered to us. that's the frustration thing. be honest about the bad
5:27 am
agents across the spectrum. even if it might cost you some votes. jess phillips because you nearly lost by a thousand in your district and whatever you know, you've got to call the truth out for her to excuse it and say, oh, but it's acceptable. >> she's almost saying they were rioting . it's excusable to riot rioting. it's excusable to riot when there's been some false information spread. what about the reason other people are rioting ? because the girls have rioting? because the girls have been killed? >> i mean, some of it is so passive. it's almost like. and then tires exploded themselves by someone's hand. but it's also i do understand, as people were coming out right now and defending their areas, it's a case of we're going beyond that now, and there's areas where where it's coming out with machetes and oh, sorry, can we just mention that same night? i say i fully understand people protecting their their neighbourhoods, except for the man who got beaten up outside the pub. >> he's got a lacerated liver and then and the other thing that's got the lbc guy talks about he at least he's mentioned this, the lack of police presence . yeah. where are the presence. yeah. where are the police in these incidents ? why
5:28 am
police in these incidents? why is it the clips in leeds of people running away? i know that was you know, but the point is anybody rioting, it seems to only be that the police rock up when it's white thugs doing it. >> a cynic, a cynic would say that these are the street militia for these politicians. >> anyway, we've got the express again, and labour have been accused of prioritising illegal migrants ahead of british people in the social housing queue. well, they are going to favour the people who vote for them, josh. >> well, well i don't know if they can't even vote for them because they are, not british citizens yet anyway, but fine. reform and tories have, have taken aim at labour over its plans to move asylum seekers across country. so they're , across country. so they're, they've. yes. labour is accused of putting illegal migrants out of putting illegal migrants out of britain's at the moment obviously we've there's been a lot of attention about housing and like the things like the bebe, the, you know, the, the boat and the barge and different raf bases and various things. now they're talking about labour's plans of sort of i have to be careful about the analogy
5:29 am
i use. so say it's like my daughter's bedroom . there's lots daughter's bedroom. there's lots of like bears. do you put all the bear, all the stuff, toys in one corner and you go like , one corner and you go like, damn, that's a lot of stuff . damn, that's a lot of stuff. toys? or do you sort of hide them around the room? so this is it seems like this is labour's policy is just to sort of place them a few people here or there. of course, the problem with that is, is that it's going to our critics say it will push up rent in those areas already. and the other thing is, and then the and then the other risk is of course, prioritising those people from people who aren't able to get accommodation themselves, people who are british. >> well, and also it's going to cause more social strife because people are already upset that , people are already upset that, you know, the hotel next to them gets filled with, you know, unvetted men from, you know, pretty sometimes pretty barbarous cultures. and, you know, they've come from violent, violent countries. so they don't necessarily they're not always bringing, you know, the this is to get them out of the hotels . to get them out of the hotels. >> this is to get them into out of the raf bases. >> the military sites and hotels as well, though i think hotels
5:30 am
and other housing. >> and, operations scatter. yeah.i >> and, operations scatter. yeah. i think we're hitting the point to the point with our prisons and our country in general, where we're going to have a one in, one out system the same as with nightclubs. you know, someone's left migration. you can go, yeah , yeah, you know, you can go, yeah, yeah, you know, british, british famous politeness is getting strained now with the know you really well talking of police and i don't think we're going to i don't think we're going to i don't think we're going to i don't think we're going to accept when our rents are going up and when hotels get hard to book. >> but why don't we house these people with the people who've asked for them to be here? so how's them with the middle classes? all the all the chattering classes in hampstead and islington, these are the people who want them, but they don't get to enjoy the full enrichment of the experience because they're dumped, usually dumped, on working class communities who then were seeing there's some sort of backlash, some sort of social upheaval. if we and it's a crisis, the government can pass laws saying, you know, these middle class people have got very large houses like gary lineker, lily allen and all the rest of it. they have they can commandeer spare rooms in their houses and
5:31 am
house the migrants, and people can live with the consequences of their opinions. and, you know, lily allen will will love having 12 and you saw that. >> and there was a very funny interview set of interviews in norway where it was exactly that, and it was going out into the street in norway, very liberal country, and they were saying, okay, would you, would you take someone into your do you take someone into your do you think they'd be like, yes. what do you think of immigration? good, good, good. and then the guy just brings over and says, well, look here we have immigrant here. would you take him home? we need some space. and they're like, oh, no, this week is really bad. i've got a big yeah, it's of course , got a big yeah, it's of course, until people are dealing with the ramifications themselves in terms of higher rent and cultural clashes and whatnot, yes. of course there it's an easy thing to feel good about yourself. >> yeah, yeah . >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> put them with the people who want them. that's what i suggest . want them. that's what i suggest. anyway. that's it for part two. but coming up, we've got racist meetings, and wes streeting saying some
5:35 am
break. welcome back to headliners. we've got the independent now, and some pro—palestine thugs have gone to see fiddler on the roof. perhaps they wanted to throw a gay person off it. josh not that i'm suggesting gay people are more likely to be fiddlers. >> yeah, pro—palestine demonstrators accused of antisemitism after protesting outside fiddler on the roof. i promise this is the last mention of jewish jewish people for this show. >> we didn't put us in the news. >> we didn't put us in the news. >> no, we did not protest outside the fiddler on the roof, so yes, fiddler roof is showing at the, open air, regent's park open air theatre . and yeah, a open air theatre. and yeah, a bunch of, pro—palestinian, idiots. i want to use harsher words turned up to protest. this has got nothing to do with israel or zionism or anything. this is just a play about a jewish family and a shtetl and shtetl. it's like old sort of
5:36 am
village where jews used to live before we came on to headliners, so the idea that you're going to go and protest people is just out and out racism, essentially, because this is not that i think it's to okay protest outside the israeli embassy or anything like that, but that's your right. but but what does fiddler on the roof have to do with with what's going on at the moment in gaza? i mean, do you think they'll be charged under the terrorism laws? >> there? >> there? >> exactly. so it's okay. so jews aren't allowed to go and or not jews, just anybody who's went to see this play are not allowed to go and enjoy a play with jewish content. and that's somehow fine. and there's never going to be. and no protests, counter—protests about that. yeah. >> it's disgusting. >> it's disgusting. >> that's ridiculous. and it's nothing. it's nothing even to do with israel. it's, it's set in imperial russia at the turn of the 20th. >> oh, hating jews is just tradition. >> tradition, tradition of hating jews. yeah, >> look, i, i imagine some people who went to the show thought this was a pre—show part
5:37 am
of the theatre. >> you know , get them in the >> you know, get them in the mood, you know, feel. >> yeah , yeah, it's immersive, >> yeah, yeah, it's immersive, like a pogrom. this is how it feels. me. yeah pogrom coming, they're protesting against zionism. boo! hissi zionism. it's amazing how much hatred there is for wherever people feel about it. but a piece of land that's so tiny it would fit into the uk 11 times over is extraordinary. we should be coming from, identities who have large amounts of land and space that they've taken over the thousand years . thousand years. >> so someone said that islam has been quite a colonising force, taking over a lot of areas, 47 countries and still going, you know , so yeah, going, you know, so yeah, i personally i don't like to get involved, but i'm involved whether i like it or not. >> we've seen this. we've seen, desecration of anne frank's statue this week again. and, it's just it's just doesn't make sense. people who think it makes sense. people who think it makes sense to be angry with a war, to take it out on a people and war happening 2000 miles away. it doesn't. not even when we're at war with the people. i mean, we treated germans awfully in this
5:38 am
country during the second world war, but we were at war with them, and even then it was wrong. >> yeah , even then it was wrong. >> yeah, even then it was wrong. >> yeah, even then it was wrong. >> we've got the telegraph next, and the government plans to let the nhs turn away people who are abusive, even though they've already paid in advance. kerry. >> okay. oh, sorry. you might be on a different story. have we got this? is this one here? >> well that's it. yeah. >> well that's it. yeah. >> oh, okay. right. just didn't get the link. so i thought this was about, it is about nhs staff who've been. oh, people who abuse nhs. sorry. you are right. do you know what? you were right. yeah. you're right the whole time. >> yeah. maybe just carry on. >> yeah. maybe just carry on. >> i thought this was about the abuse of the filipino nurses, but it is. it's about the abuse of nurses who are in a car with with stones being and bricks being thrown at them and so on. >> that was seamless. okay. >> that was seamless. okay. >> who does that? who. who throws racist, stupid thugs. exactly. and what's going on? i think the anger is hitting out in so many silly directions. >> so a taxi was carrying. this was during the riots, a taxi carrying two filipino nurses was pelted with rocks on friday while travelling to provide emergency care. and so wes streeting has said that these people should be, pelted the car
5:39 am
with rocks, should be denied nhs care because it nurses inside it. but how do you identify them? >> i mean, that might be right, but you're going to let them bleed to death on the ground. exactly. the reality of that is isn't going to happen, i don't think or isn't going to work. >> i mean, look, he's right that this brings shame on our country. i mean, i mean, it's disgusting. it's beyond i mean, it makes me feel a bit sick. it's just disgusting. okay. >> i think filipino people are welcome. yeah. but no, just, i mean, it's just it's thug evil thuggery at its at its worst. >> medical staff , thuggery at its at its worst. >> medical staff, nurses, filipino. i mean, they're terrified. i've terrified this this this story. what the story is though, is he's wrong in that. well, for nurses or medical staff is that they take a vow don't they? i believe that's one of the things that they do do. and that you have. what is your moral obligation? there are plenty of cases of people treating people. they have ideological difference with or even treating people they detest, because that is their job. and i know that there is a
5:40 am
problem with racism directed towards, g medical staff and whatever within the nhs and the idea that that those people are not now going to be treated is a slightly , is a moral quagmire. really? >> yeah. i think sorry. really? >> yeah. i think sorry . you're >> yeah. i think sorry. you're about to change story. >> i feel it. >> i feel it. >> okay. >> okay. >> i'm learning to i news and universities are becoming full of rich, elite, upper middle class people. >> nature is healing . >> nature is healing. >> nature is healing. >> josh university is becoming playground for the elite as poorer students turn away. now, this is professor lee elliot, and he is a social mobility professor at the university of exeter, which is ironic . exeter, which is ironic. >> sorry, sorry. >> sorry, sorry. >> exeter . sorry. university of exeter. >> they don't have tv down there . >> they don't have tv down there. >> they don't have tv down there. >> yeah, it's gonna be fine, but yeah, he's concerned that poorer students now, this is on the news. we've done a few stories about this across the channel about this across the channel about how university applications have dropped in the last, over the last two years,
5:41 am
and that you're right, that there is an element of nature heaung there is an element of nature healing because there's an argument that too many people are be going to university. it isn't the be all, end all of social. so solving social mobility because lots of people are thick. >> so it's not university. >> so it's not university. >> you just get thick people with degrees. >> well, i wouldn't say well that's there might be truth to that. but there's also but lots of people are super smart and they don't need university for whatever it is that they apply themselves to in their lives. and they're going to come out with 50 grand debt and whatever. and arguably going out and just building your own company will is the next is better than that. yeah, so but there is a, there is a danger in that. the biggest drop whilst it seems like, oh, it's only gone from 42.1% of 18 year olds last year to the numbers down 41.9, you know, it seems like incremental. but the point is, within 18 year olds and within certain regions of the country, certainly the more socially deprived areas of this country, there are massive drop offs from like 70% to 35%. so
5:42 am
thatis offs from like 70% to 35%. so that is a different issue. >> this could be because university just isn't a value proposition that it used to be. it used to be that if you, you know, saved up and you know, yeah, and went to university, you could then get a good job and that's not the case. >> now you're probably much better off learning a trade. >> yeah, totally. and they're getting what are called mickey mouse degrees, which unfortunately aren't actually mickey mouse degrees. and they won't even get you a job at disney. and also, i think what the kids are seeing as they're growing up and they're seeing on the news what's coming out of universities is the jew hating demonstrations and discussions of magic. >> i can do that for free. yeah. >> i can do that for free. yeah. >> yeah, totally. well, you're welcome. and, you know, a place where you can learn sort of magical gender spells and change your identity. and this and that. that's not what university is supposed to be about. so i think that what people are seeing, a university isn't looking like we're not hearing interesting things at universities are discovering, because instead we're hearing all this stuff, but of course, it was tony blair's drive to get 50% of the country or young people into university. and i agree with you end up with a lot of unemployed people. he's backtracking on a hell of a lot
5:43 am
ofideas backtracking on a hell of a lot of ideas that he had. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> he's no keir starmer is saying don't do anything that i did because it's all worked out terribly well. >> multiculturalism. he's changed his mind completely on that. and you. >> so a sign of an intelligent person that it takes them 30 years. >> just the final section to go. we'll be discussing the latest developments from psychedelic mushrooms. well endowed olympians, and we'll find out what your underwear about you. josh's say, lay off the curry. see you
5:46 am
thank you. welcome back to the final section of headliners we jump final section of headliners we jump back in with the guardian, josh and can magic mushrooms reveal what it feels like today? i mean, i'm not sure, but a hash brownie once convinced me i'd peed myself. >> did it? yeah well, i hadn't, by the way. >> okay, well, end of life patients. that's people who are dying. is that the new way of doing it? say it. find solace in magic mushrooms. and this is quite interesting. this is from the guardian, where, they
5:47 am
mentioned the chemical psilocybin or whatever, which is basically acid. i guess maybe, i don't know, it's not it's not that's not acid. >> it's not the same as acid. >> it's not the same as acid. >> no. >> no. >> the acid costs a fiver and it comes with no. >> exactly the gist of the story is that it's pretty depressing and that there's a bunch of people here dying of different cancers, but then they had a sort of magic mushroom trip or whatever, and that has , i guess, whatever, and that has, i guess, added a mystical element to their lives. so now they're not as afraid of dying. they're more at peace. and the good news is that the other side effect is that the other side effect is that because they're not going to last that long, you're not going to hear too many boring stories about their trips. yeah. so that's quite good. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> so taking loads of drugs makes you feel good. who'da thunk? >> it's a big surprise, isn't it? it's taken years to realise this. >> searching for this one. >> searching for this one. >> the story is particularly here about someone, suffering with stage four colon cancer. now you're going to bring it down? no. i think it's interesting that mushrooms can be that specific as to who they're going to help, so this
5:48 am
is really like a personal story, but and this person is saying that they were helped by having mushrooms and there's some evidence that it doesn't have any, any actual physical effects that will help you, you know, with the symptoms. it's only that it'll make you feel better in the last few minutes. if you're used to taking the stuff, it's not going to, it's not going to help you cheat death. it will just help you. confronted, i think, the last point. >> yeah, yeah. it's not the last few minutes. it's like in the lead up to the end of existence. your existence? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i think it's really, you know, it's down to how people react to these drugs in the first place. there was a thing a while ago about taking ecstasy was good before, as a way to go. but then there were priests saying that god was complaining about people arriving, wanting a hug, that was just a joke. that wasn't true at all. no priest said it. >> yeah, they made true. >> yeah, they made true. >> next. and we revisit an athlete with a huge pole. and he also uses a stick. he also has a stick things. >> cuz why didn't he bandage it? why didn't he tuck it in? why didn't he do he. did you see the clip? >> where does he get a clip? havei >> where does he get a clip? have i seen the clip? >> that's my new screensaver,
5:49 am
>> that's my new screensaver, >> yeah, i watched the clip because it was, you know, just happened to be on the social media, you know, those algorithms, those pesky algorithms. but it was, you know what it was. the clip came up before i knew what was going to happenin before i knew what was going to happen in it. and i instantly knew what was going to happen in it. it was it was like, what are you thinking? that is clearly going to get in the way. >> watched up till that point was the same thing. >> you know, it's nice to have an olympic story that's not men punching women or christianity being mocked. so i think there's a relief from everything in the news. >> and it's, you might be punching some women who's been offered a porn deal. >> he's been offered a porn deal >> he's been offered a porn deal. the story here isn't actually about him taking a porn deal actually about him taking a porn deal. it'sjust actually about him taking a porn deal. it's just that some porn, somebody who makes porn has said you can do porn if you like. it's not much of a story . it's not much of a story. >> $250,000. would you do that? >> $250,000. would you do that? >> no, but i don't have to go with it. >> so, cam soda if you want to give me a call. or you could audience can go onto my only fan site. it's very easy. >> i think it'd be funny if he takes the job and a pole gets in the way. this time and ruins it for him. >> but you know what? but you're right. why didn't he tuck it away? have you ever heard of
5:50 am
laming it? you know, like in silence of the lambs, where you usually get drunk, you know, too much, and then you go lamb it, lamb it, and then the person would like tuck it all the way. >> i thought it was called the turkey because when you turn, like when you look at it from behind. >> yeah. the giblets turkey. yeah the giblets. yeah. >> anyway, that's, if anybody's eating their breakfast, we apologise. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> independent. and should a man be defined by his choice of underwear? let's ask male thong enthusiast josh howie. >> indeed, >> indeed, >> men get defined by the choice of their underwear. but is it fair? this is from the independent. and if you ever want to have more proof that the independent is rapidly in decline, this article is it because, it's written by a woman that doesn't make it inherently bad?in that doesn't make it inherently bad? in and of itself, but it's just she happens to she's she mentions bridget jones diary. she mentions sex of the city. these are obviously massive cultural impacts on her life. and you could imagine her writing this article with a sort of tweeting in a pen and a cafe with a but actually it's just written on her mac and she doesn't answer the question about men's underwear at all. is
5:51 am
the gist of it. this is why it's so frustrating. i was really looking forward . i got all looking forward. i got all excited about a really interesting article about men's underwear. what it says i wear boxers. does this mean that i'm. i don't know what it means? and now i still don't know what it means. so someone out there write the article that we all need. >> yeah, yeah. this is one of those stories that starts out it promises to do one thing. then as soon as the story starts with when i was 12 years old and i first thought about underwear, and then you get their life story. whilst they don't tell us any useful information whatsoever, it's a it's a frustrating non—story story . frustrating non—story story. frustrating, removing. i can feel we're moving. >> we've got the express no kyrie and people are being urged to smash windows by the police. >> it sounds like far right riot incitement to me. >> we've got so much to get through today, haven't we? just almost. anyway. almost get to something. then we move on to another one. but this is, yeah, it's smash windows. i'll read it. people urged to smash windows if they spot dog in car this week. you can't influence that in the beginning there. anyway but. yeah, we're we're now seeing, it's wrong to
5:52 am
vandalise cars. the actual truth about this is you can't smash a window. it's still to illegal smash a window of a car, even if a dog is suffering. well, even if it's dying. even if it's dying. if you think it's really in trouble, then you could do it. and obviously, there's some play it. and obviously, there's some play in the law to say there was an excuse for doing it. if you're staring through the car and literally dogging, if you're literally going around cars, looking at dogs and cars and literally dogging, is that what you mean? that's what i've decided it should mean. and then you see, a dog's in trouble . no, you see, a dog's in trouble. no, you see, a dog's in trouble. no, you can't do anything. >> no. it's illegal. no, it's illegal. >> but what it's saying you could watch that dog die and you are not allowed to. no, you're not allowed. >> i mean, josh, do you think sometimes you should be able to bend the bend the law? >> well, it's just it depends about whether you think your freedom is worth that dog's life. >> yeah, it's your morality you have to call into question here. >> i do. i'm a dog person. anyway, the show is nearly over, so let's take another quick look at wednesday's front pages. the daily mail leads with shame of the child rioters. the daily telegraph has rioters face terror charges , warns director
5:53 am
terror charges, warns director of public prosecutions. the guardian has lawyers fear for safety amid threats from far right. the times leads with thousands of police raided for fresh riots. the daily mirror has jail warning to rioters ten years hard labour. that's a threat and the daily star has. get me out here. nation's pets stressed by owners farts and those were front pages. and that's it for tonight's show. thanks to josh and kerry, i will be back here tomorrow at 11 pm. with steve and alan and lewis schaffer. and if you're watching at 5 am, then stay tuned for breakfast. goodbye >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> evening. it's time for your gb news weather forecast from the met office. looking further ahead and there will be some rain at times for many of us as we go through thursday and friday, but for the time being, we're changing to something a
5:54 am
bit cooler, a bit blustery, and a bit showery because there's an area of low pressure to the northwest of the uk and this is driving some showery bursts across parts of the uk for many central and eastern parts of england and also eastern scotland, it's actually going to be a largely dry night with some clear skies, but further west we have quite a few showers piling in and some of them could be a little bit on the heavy side. most notable, perhaps in the south will be the fresher feel to things. temperatures will be a good few degrees lower than they were last night, perhaps a bit more comfortable for sleeping. taking a closer look at first thing tomorrow morning, then across much of central southern england, it's looking like a bright, southern england, it's looking like a bright , fine start, but like a bright, fine start, but some showers across parts of the south—west and also some showers for parts of wales as well. and northwest england too. meanwhile, northeast england, starting the day largely dry. quite a few showers across northern ireland, but it's across scotland where we're going to have the heaviest, most persistent rain, some showery rain making its way north eastwards as we go through the morning. this rain could cause some problems on the roads,
5:55 am
could be some spray around perhaps even a little bit of localised flooding. but it does clear away northwards as we go through the morning and breaks up so just turning quite showery across scotland and also across many northern and western parts through much of the day , towards through much of the day, towards the south and east, you have a greater chance of avoiding those showers. and here we'll have the highest temperatures, highs of around 23 to 24, so not quite as high as they have been recently. more wet weather to come as we go through towards the end of the week. there are a series of fronts waiting to come in from the west, so most of us will see some rain arriving as we go through thursday, and there could be a bit more rain to come as we go through friday as well. all the time. it's likely to be quite blustery or breezy, and so that will add to the relatively cool feel to things. considering it is august by a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news
