tom tugendhat and kemi badenoch will be making their case to be the next leader of the party. now in other news. israel says it has carried out large scale airstrikes against houthi terrorists in yemen. the latest strikes come as israel carried out more attacks across lebanon, and terrorist group hezbollah fired more rockets into northern israel. yesterday hezbollah confirmed their leader, hassan nasrallah, was killed in airstrikes in southern lebanon. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says israel settled the score with nasrallah's death. a man arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter after an eight year old boy was shot dead at a farm has been bailed. cumbria police said they were called to reports of the boy being injured by a firearm on saturday. he was taken to hospital and sadly died overnight, having suffered injuries to the head and face. officers are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the boy's death . to european

cost the nhs 169 million a year. cost the nhs169 million a year. still leaves them in profit. the daily mail boris macron wanted punishment beating britain over brexit. that's his memoirs that are coming out and being serialised. the i israel targets iranian weapons network in yemen after wiping out hezbollah leaders the sun and he tells kyle give me £15 million to stay the telegraph badenoch sparks tory splits over maternity pay costs and finally , the daily costs and finally, the daily star invasion of the killer fungi, dead man's fingers and death cap mushrooms surge across britain. those were your front pages. britain. those were your front pages . so very little consensus pages. so very little consensus as to the lead story there. let's have a closer look at a few of those front pages. we'll start with monday's times. >> yes . start with monday's times. >> yes. monday's times. >> yes. monday's times. >> good news, good news. israeli

tanks at border as lebanese lebanon braces for battle. and this is a miss. it's one of the it's a typical story about how the israelis the jews there are invading about to invade lebanon after they killed the leader of hezbollah. but but it's basically a lie because lebanon doesn't brace for battle. it's just one part of lebanon. and they actually mention that the shia are like hezbollah is a shia are like hezbollah is a shia group because iran. iran is a shia group. not that the shias aren't upset at israel, but it's just one part of it. there are still christians who are living there who are totally against hezbollah, hezbollah. i don't know why we pronounce hezbollah the correct way. the hezbollah, hezbollah, we should insult them by by not knowing how to pronounce them. and okay, so there was a, i saw a clip, actually, of a hezbollah guy wandering through the streets. >> apparently he'd been beaten up . and there's a sort of sense up. and there's a sort of sense that some of the people who've never liked the fact that hezbollah have so much heft in the country , have realised that

the country, have realised that they no longer have the protection they i don't know, i'm not an expert in the subject. >> i'm slightly concerned that the united states have issued a last minute appeal for restraint, and israel's just ignofing restraint, and israel's just ignoring it. but what do i know? i avoid the topic because, josh does the rotor for the show. it's not worth me in case i end up siding with hezbollah. you know what? if i like palestine or hezbollah and then it just kicks off, it's not worth it. so that's why i wanted to mention that's why i wanted to mention that we've also got a story here about the pro—russian so—called hard right party set to lead austria. so the fpo is winning in austria. and they want to they want to re migrate large numbers of migrants and create fortress austria. so it's just interesting that all of europe is going very much to the right. >> and somebody famously blamed social media for creating all these anti—immigrant, far right groups rather than the high levels of immigration. this was discussed on the. >> it might have an old norm macdonald joke. yeah, i blame the migrants is what i would say. >> but like the funny thing is, is they only got 29.9, 28.9% of the vote, which isn't very much, but it's still more than the next guy. and the truth. the

truth is, whenever austria does something, you've got to pay attention to it because of hitler. >> but he was he was sort of representing germany at that time, wasn't he? really? >> yes. well he he was living. he was okay. fritzl >> the still works the, the strange kind of like it does just map very closely the, the anti—immigrant parties are also i don't know about pro—russian. >> they're pro—peace at least, aren't they? they seem to want to see some sort of, sort of calming down. >> no, they're not doing it because they're pro—peace . because they're pro—peace. they're doing it. they're siding with the russians because . with the russians because. because when you side with the ukraine, you're siding with team world. and team world is pro—immigration. so it's all in one. it's in one silo. i get you, okay. >> the daily mail. nick, what have they got? >> they've got boris macron wanted punishment beating for britain over brexit. and this is from boris's new book unleashed, which hilariously, it's actually called. and he has some interesting points. he said we had to bluff over brexit because we had to suggest we were happy

with no deal when we weren't really. so it's kind of trump book. it's his art of the deal book, right? and he talks about macron saying he'd put it. he was happy to put his cuban heeled booty into brexit britain. and he felt he was he was possibly even weaponizing the problem of the gangs and boats, which he wouldn't put it past macron, would you? the even more shocking bit to me was that cameron apparently warned boris that if he went to the leave side, he would f him up forever. it's kind of like an etonian threat from cameron. it's just you don't expect a gangster. >> yeah, a bit gangster. >> yeah, a bit gangster. >> and boris then being boris just went, well, i definitely have to go leave just to show him he doesn't. he's not the boss of me. that's basically what happened. >> well, we don't know if that's the truth. well, according to bofis the truth. well, according to boris unleashed, do we know, do we know it's the truth? it's coming from boris. >> have you seen boris johnson lie? he's unleashed. >> what part of unleashed do you not understand? >> yeah . he's lying. maybe he's >> yeah. he's lying. maybe he's not lying, but you can see it. you can see macron. he's so he's he's he's a typical team world leftist. i know he's on the middle party and he's saying he's middle but he's in favour. and the truth is, is that he

thinks he's so much smarter than everybody else. and he does . everybody else. and he does. >> does he? >> does he? >> yes he does. look at the picture of him. look at he's he's sitting there saying, i am. >> do you think his wife is a is a woman? i just want to get you a woman? i just want to get you a gb news official view on it. >> it depends. i know how it is in these situations. it depends on how you fantasise it. >> i'm pretty sure i remember that photograph is the one where bofis that photograph is the one where boris johnson famously put his feet up on a sort of footstool that wasn't supposed to have your feet on it or something, wasn't it? that was a little controversy at the time. >> that's why macron wants wanted to get revenge. yeah, he's looking at it. you can see in the picture looking at his feet. he's been slighted by boris, unpolished heels. >> quelle surprise. >> quelle surprise. >> what have we got now? the express lewis. what are they? >> the express. a cruel winter fuel cuts will cost the nhs 169 million a year. because the express is anti is anti keir starmer. and those people, thank god somebody is anti the guy. and it's a cold payment policy which everybody got £300. and they're saying if when they take away the £300, 262,000, an

estimate , whatever it is a guess estimate, whatever it is a guess older people will need medical attention which will cost £169 million a year. have i explained this story well enough? >> it seems to be a slightly arbitrary. but what do you think, nick? is it is it a calculation they built in? >> it's a calculation, which is what they were lacking. yeah, it comes from the end. fuel poverty coalition. and it's much like lockdown. they didn't do a cost benefit analysis aside from the cruelty and the bad politics. if you make a load of old people ill, it ends up costing nhs a lot of money. so it's very questionable on that ground. i mean, most leaders wait a bit longer to have their poll tax or iraq war moment, but starmer has just gone straight in. get it out of the way early. yeah >> do you think they could at least send around some blankets or something? i don't know, there doesn't seem to be any kind of mitigation at all does there, of charities suggested anything we should do a fundraiser of some sort? >> i feel like, well, i've said this many times on this show and many times everywhere else is in israel. >> when israel was israel, not the way it is now. the doctors went on strike and the hospitals

were all closed and the death rate went down. really interesting. you know, the nhs, because they all ate meat. i'm going to the nhs tomorrow, but you've got to be careful where you've got to be careful where you go with it. you got to hold your nose and hope you don't die. >> finally, we have time for the daily star, nick. very quickly. >> yeah, it's invasion of the killer fungi, though. lewis was pronouncing it fungi before the show, which is not the pronunciation. what is it? fungi. fungi? i would accept not whatever you said. dead man's fingers and death cap mushrooms surge across britain. so these are mushrooms that are surging, and they're very bad . and and they're very bad. and there's another story on the side. evil ghosts chewed me, which i couldn't find. but the mind boggles. which i couldn't find. but the mind boggles . and of course, the mind boggles. and of course, the spurs have beaten man united and ten hag's in trouble. i'm going on to those other stories. i don't have that much mushroom. >> i just want to know whether the killer fungi are only killer if you eat them. and if you eat them, you're trying to get high. if you look at them, you can't even look at them. >> yeah, instantly you become blinded. >> yeah, but the truth is, the truth is fungi are not vegetables. >> no, they're not, they're not, they're a sort of. >> they're fungi.

>> they're fungi. >> fungi, aren't they? they're closer to a meat, apparently. well, they're in between. >> you can eat the meat. >> you can eat the meat. >> yeah, you should. i tell lewis, i do occasionally recommend you investigate. just make sure you don't read any books or anything about it because they're full of paranoid, paranoid propaganda . paranoid, paranoid propaganda. thatis paranoid, paranoid propaganda. that is the front pages coming up. we have kemi and rob clash over immigrants non—aggression pact for the tories

and welcome back to headliners, your first look at monday's newspapers. so, lewis, we have the last two tory leadership hopefuls sparring over quality versus quantity. but sadly they're not talking about restocking the house of commons cellar. >> oh yeah . well this is if i >> oh yeah. well this is if i care, as if anybody cares out there. it's badenoch a generic clash over immigration policy. we should have. we should have a tory leader if it meant something. and they should. they should be arguing about more

important things than this. is this is badenoch who is she's something of the something. she's a tory. she wants to be tory leader and she said it's important who comes to the country if they share the same values as we do, which was basically a dig at certain people who hate us and want us dead and want their own courts and all that other stuff. and i shouldn't i shouldn't have even said that. and then and then the other guy or one of the four other guy or one of the four other guys, jenrick said, said that numbers also matter. but and it doesn't quite matter who comes into the country. it's just the numbers and the truth is. >> so he just says we should get the numbers down and not kind of give people a free pass as long as they are. yeah, yeah. >> because he is a tory and he has to wake up every day knowing that his party is the is the lib dems of the 21st century in the 21st century? yes that the tories are dead. so i'm waiting for one of these people who have a two toon hat and the other guy cleverly to stand up and say

something that isn't bog standard from the last five years. someone's going to, like, be way more reform than reform. because if it's not more reform for reform, reform is formed. >> well, we have we have a discussion coming up about the possible collaboration. but what do you think nick is this is this radical enough? >> still trying to unravel what lewis was saying? well yeah, i like that. there's a sort of arms race for who can be more anti—immigration, because that's good. and even farage is in danger of being outflanked by jenrick because farage was a little bit woolly on it in his interview with stephen egerton for gb america. i know it's so. this is all about kimi's interview with laura kuenssberg on the bbc, where she said a very normal point that not all cultures are equal and then the bbc act all shocked , and she's bbc act all shocked, and she's just saying that she believes the bbc act shocked or was that the bbc act shocked or was that the online i saw? laura has a question in this sort of bbc way. what she was saying was completely obvious. she said i'm not a cultural relativist. i believe in western values, completely normal until about ten minutes ago. but now it's like a shocking statement. yeah, and, no, she made that other

strange statement that we keep bringing in people who hate israel, which is bad. but what about people who hate britain? some people say that's even w0 i'se. woi'se. >> worse. >> that's even worse. >> that's even worse. >> yeah . and so it's completely >> yeah. and so it's completely normal. she just said, look, it's not equal. some cultures want to stone gay people to death or whatever, and they believe in child marriages. so, you know, the left runs into this problem because they want they suddenly worry about women's rights, but they want to say all cultures are perfect and equal say all cultures are perfect and equal, which is just obviously not true . not true. >> and so i saw1 not true. >> and so i saw 1 or 2 accounts on online saying, oh, this is again relevant, redolent of 19305 again relevant, redolent of 1930s germany, you know, and you 90, 1930s germany, you know, and you go, well , was that a culture go, well, was that a culture that you think was as good as, as british culture then 1930s germany and, and. >> right. and we fought, we fought them. but at the end of the day, we fought them. at the end of the day, if i were british, i would want somebody. i am my kids are british. i want someone fighting for england who's going to fight and not even scotland or wales if they want to go england, just england, and even worse, fighting for london and even more fighting for nunhead. >> london's team world. yes. >> london's team world. yes. >> england. yeah. just england

against london. we have to fight. we whatever. english people, english people . not people, english people. not people, english people. not people who speak english. engush people who speak english. english people have to fight for england. and there's nobody in the tories doing it. >> sorry, that's okay. we'll stay with kenny. and, the guardian, nick trying to tease out exactly how much she hates children, mothers and families. >> yes, maternity pay is excessive, says tory leadership hopeful kemi badenoch . and hopeful kemi badenoch. and again, it's an attempt to sort of skewer kemi. shouldn't really say anything that bad. remember she has a master's in engineering, so she's very logical. she's very smart, doesn't always maybe her weakness might be that she doesn't always realise how it's going to come across politically. and the sort of cheap headlines people are going to get. and then to pounce on this and say, well, i'm very pro—family. i'm i totally pro—family. i'm itotally believe in the family. as if kemi doesn't have kids as well. so it's a bit silly. what she's saying is there's too much regulation for businesses. she's saying statutory maternity pay comes from taxes and sort of that needs to be looked at. and she's saying, look, in the past we still were having more kids and we didn't have maternity pay at all. so there must be another answer. and that's all reasonable. the problem is when

you've got low birth rates and when you're in the tories and you're meant to be pro—family, you're meant to be pro—family, you get a headline that makes it seem like you're anti maternity pay, seem like you're anti maternity pay, which she stresses that she's there's no evidence, i don't think is there around the world that improving maternity pay world that improving maternity pay and improving those kind of offers has actually managed to reverse the decline of birth rates and so on. >> but i guess they've got to try everything. >> well, it's like it's like you give people money for having a baby and the next year they might push up having a baby, from what i've heard and some of these places. but the point is, is we need someone who's going to say we want english kids in this country. we want english kids. and i think, i think she in this site. first of all, the left silo is just for giving money away. there's no more money. there's no more money just to give it away. and the truth is, if you want to have kids, you find a man who's going to be nice to you and you stay home. >> i mean, part of what she's trying to say, i think, in her original comments, was to do with the idea that businesses should be allowed to make their own decisions about this, right? >> yeah, correct. she just wants businesses to have more freedom. yes. you don't regulate them into oblivion. >> yeah. which i think seems reasonable because some small

businesses obviously have a lot more dependency as well. on, on certain, you know , individuals certain, you know, individuals get back to work and bring a baby and put it in a creche or something. you know, that's some individuals. >> but then there are other individuals who like, say, you know, you don't want to come in tomorrow because you've got a baby. having i was i took care, i was a primary carer, i remember that you remember that. and it's a it's so important. it's so important. but we've spent the last 70 years telling women that they've got to go to work. >> and i'm a feminist. i think they should be allowed to just be mothers. >> they should allow not even allowed. they should be prevented from working. >> i didn't want to say it. i'll let you say that. that's shocking. >> shocking. fans of molotov and ribbentrop excited to see the latest development now between reform and the tories. this is in the daily mail. >> oh my god, thank you. this is story number seven in the daily mail. or does it say louis on it? it says louis on it. yeah, it? it says louis on it. yeah, it says my name there. reform and conservatives urge to consider, quote, non—aggressive pact to oust labour at the next general election , which is general election, which is a fantastic story. it doesn't mention who the people are who said this and where they were. it says nothing. it says it would be nice if conservatives

and labour got together. but and excuse me , reform, whatever they excuse me, reform, whatever they are conservative and labour have are conservative and labour have a non—aggression pact that would be called the uni party. but the truth is, is that the tories are the labour party, basically with slight differences. we need a real reform party, somebody who is going to fight, real reform party, somebody who is going to fight , fight, fight. is going to fight, fight, fight. and the worst thing about that, yeah, donald trump basically like donald trump, somebody just shot you. i was told by my son to not say kill, kill, kill. >> and yeah, that seems sensible. yeah. don't say that on national tv. can i just can i just say this guy, supposed guy. >> we don't know the name or anything. it'sjust >> we don't know the name or anything. it's just a it's a they said that the two parties should copy an alleged private agreement between labour and the lib dems at the general election . lib dems at the general election. yeah. is like. no, there should be no , there should be no. we be no, there should be no. we need someone to stand up who's an actual english citizen, not louis schaefer, who says, i want to fight for england .

to fight for england. >> what do you think, nick? >> what do you think, nick? >> it's hard to follow that, but i think it is necessary, because if they're going to have any chance of winning and neither one is going to back down as a party, then of course they're going to have to have some sort of pact difficult for farage because he's repeatedly said he'll never do it. he did it in the past. you know, and that was bad for him. so there's going to be difficult. but they have to do something like that. >> no they don't. >> no they don't. >> you've had i mean they've got a huge number of votes in the last election and five seats to show for it. that's obviously absurd. if they had combined, they would probably the tories might very easily have, trump said. >> they would have you get the votes, but you don't get the seats. very strange system. >> but what would what would have happened if they had combined? they would have gotten the tories who are, i hate to say it, they're horrible. i know, i know , most of the people know, i know, most of the people out there are watching it. probably voted tories or i think you've got a reform audience here. >> no, they absolutely listen to you, but they're not going to win at the moment, are they? i mean, it's several elections away from that. >> we don't know if they're not going to win. we don't know. >> i'm more reform than tory, but i just want to get rid of labour because i can't stand any more starmer. don't you just want to get rid of labour,

though, louis? >> no, i know we need to have. we yes, of course. but you only get rid of labour when there's a real replacement. not some. >> because starmer is coming for you. >> he got a move on now to the independent. the independent gentleman. nick, starmer has reacted to rosie duffield's accusations of avarice , which accusations of avarice, which are likely perhaps to get him dislodged more quickly than actual, more serious policies, it seems. >> yeah, i'm not sure if it's a direct response or not, but it's starmer. titans rule on gifts and donations after rosie duffield's avarice accusation. and really, they've just sent out pat mcfadden, who is currently chancellor of the duchy of lancaster, which i know americans love all those titles. that's why i said it for you, louis. >> i paid $10 for mine. oh, good, >> but it's. i knew that wasn't real. so he's saying he's blaming the tories. classic. he's saying it was a tory loophole. that used to be if you were the minister, you didn't have to declare your all your freebies. but the opposition would have to. and he's saying he's getting rid of that. so he's getting rid of that. so he's basically saying it's all somehow the tories fault. it's not particularly convincing and it's not going to do anything to dispel this idea that they're a

bunch of freeloading, corrupt, dodgy people now. >> and did you see, i mean, not that i would normally watch it, but i think clips of it have been replayed on this channel of a podcast that's called electoral dysfunction, which kay burley and beth rigby and they discuss and she was talking about how brittle he had seemed, how infuriated when challenged. >> he was almost angry. she said, yeah , that's when i said, yeah, that's when i compared him to patrick bateman from american psycho. i said, he's sort of got this facade. there's this monster within that comes out . comes out. >> this is causing him much more damage, it seems to me, than the actual accusations, his his failure, his inability to recognise that it's at least, you know, a jarring. yeah. >> and yet to acknowledge any fault or to consult his party about it to show any kind of remorse. that's what bothered rosie duffield as well . rosie duffield as well. >> absolutely, lewis. and mildly enraging analysis now of the iniquity behind the free education received by the scottish university. >> yes. and this was explained to me by my son, who actually had to pay to go to school, not by me, but he's going to have to

pay by me, but he's going to have to pay for it later. and this is story number nine in the telegraph. it says lewis, it's how english graduates pick up the £900 tab for scotland's free tuition. and it was explained to me, i'm not from this country, you have to remember, but my kids went to university here and they basically scotland is got enough money in their bank to pay enough money in their bank to pay for their kids to go to their university for free. >> they don't know we pay for it. that's the point. can i get to my point? >> go ahead. the next step is where do they get the money from? thank you. >> i like the idea. they got it in their bank. >> no, it wasn't in their bank. but i'm saying they went. where did they get the money from? it comes from. it comes from britain under the plan. >> england. england. england. >> england. england. england. >> england. england. england. >> england. it comes from england. exactly. which is why england's got to say enough of these scottish people. put a wall up there and stop them from coming over. >> it's shocking stuff. i mean, this, this thing the media. so you end up paying back your there's a different rate. engush there's a different rate. english graduates repay 9% of their annual income once they

earn over £27,295. in scotland, the threshold is 31,395. what this means is that if you're if you're english, you'll repay 43,000 just over, over 30 years. and in scotland you'll pay just over 18,000. i know. so there's all these bizarre rules we're just giving them money and they hate us. i mean, they're like. they're like the spoilt teenager resenting its parents. yeah. which is us giving them a load of money. >> well, that is it for part two. coming up, we have queen rowling on rosie's back. we have the pope challenged on his conservative views the devaluation of ptsd. seeing

and welcome back to headliners. so, nick, we have the queen of scotland now she's come to the aid of the recently whipless rosie duffield. >> yes , indeed. jk rowling >> yes, indeed. jk rowling furiously hits back at labour mp over attack on rosie duffield. this was nadia whittome who had a p0p this was nadia whittome who had a pop at rosie. she said no matter your views on her stated

reasons for quitting, rosie duffield has made a political career out of dehumanising one of the most marginalised groups in society, i don't know who keir starmer's family she meant, trans people presumably, but it's, it seems a bit harsh on old rosie. there so jk rowling hit back and said rosie duffield was one of the few female labour politicians with the guts to stand up for vulnerable women and girls, while self—satisfied numbskulls like you fought to give away the rights and spaces, their rights and spaces. sorry. tldr keep her name out of your mouth, which was kind of like the boom , the punch line. so the boom, the punch line. so that was will smith slap. yeah slap indeed. that was pretty cool. so basically, as i always say about rowling and people like rosie duffield, they're wrong on almost everything except this issue. and they do have great integrity. they have integrity, they've got their views. so it's good to see. >> and rowling can write a tweet. she is pretty good at it and she can write books as well. >> yeah, but you know, i always don't get too carried away because i know they're all still sort of lefty feminists who are wrong on everything else. >> that's true. and they all still ignore the fact that trans

movement grew out of feminism . movement grew out of feminism. yes. grew out of being of complaining that gender was just a social construct and that everything was. that would be my take. >> there were certain people get very angry when you make that argument. >> but yeah, i do think it's quite interesting saying that rosie duffield has made a career out of transphobia or gender criticism or whatever you want to say. i mean, she's an mp. she was she did an mp thing. she has suffered a few serious setbacks and humiliations. when the party failed to stand by her. but she has not been a campaigner on this as a sort of professional platform. she's been an mp and she won in her seat, made it a labour seat for the first time and won very impressively. >> she didn't do that on just bashing trans people, did she? >> not realistic, fairly minor, and it wasn't mentioned at all in her resignation letter. but go ahead. what do you think? >> well, you know, the whole trans issue people, people think that this is a it's two teams and the trans is on that is on that team. and people believe if you're against trans that children are going to die, that trans people are going to die, and that you're a murderer. and that's what she's accusing. rosie duffield about. but the

truth is, is that rosie duffield has no has not, doesn't have, doesn't have her own silo because the other silo is against what rosie duffield stands for and it's against and it's against, it's against trans. >> she's going to end up in reform. some people think, well, you know what? >> that's that's the only place she can end up. she says, i'm going to fight for women. the fact is that she was fighting over the child benefit , right. over the child benefit, right. and the child benefit. it doesn't help british people. it's just giving more money to women . and it's not even giving women. and it's not even giving money to like, english, british women. >> lewis. the doctrine of papal infallibility seems to be subject to certain caveats these days. >> well, this is another one of those things. this is story 11 for people who are keeping track of those things daily, the daily mail people actually love that. i said that story. 11 because we do we do 19 stories. and if we're lucky, we do last too many. it's way too many. it's way. and i have to we have to read them 4 or 5. >> you zone out because it's not that interesting really. >> this i mean, we do know he

likes it. he likes it. simon likes it. he likes it. simon likes it. >> you could like, try and address the story. >> that would be the story is pope francis slammed for saying it is bad when women when the woman wants to be the man. and she's right. women don't be women aren't usually. they can be, but they aren't very good men and men. >> what does he mean by that, though? >> he's not talking about he means that like the boss, you know, like in the 60s, he means being. >> he means being the man. but he also means trans things. he doesn't like the idea that women. and he was speaking at a catholic university, which should be which he's the boss of really i think he's he's speaking of catholic university. >> and they denounced him pretty much, didn't they? they went well, the pope can have his views. i'm like, no, hang on, i don't think you've done the reading here. >> yes, exactly. that's so funny because it's not the views. he's the pope. he's the he's never wrong. if he says i'm never wrong, you got to. you got to listen to him. the truth is the truth is, is that he said something which he should say. you want the pope to be against this conservative? >> yes . well, they say that we

>> yes. well, they say that we can see that he's separating the roles of women and men in society. that's a terrible thing to lose. you've got to be one big blob, amorphous blob above, doesn't he? >> he said that that mary was welcoming. >> he went on about how women, he says women are better. he literally says they're better. he says this is why women are more important than men. but it's bad when the woman wants to be the man. i mean, that's incredibly reasonable. but they're like, no, no, it's not good enough. we just have to be one big probably won't get them. >> i suppose more candidates for their university, will it? because they're not teaching women how to be maternal in the university. that's not and they're and it's in belgium, you know, and it's and that's the biggest problem. >> they got some weird stuff going on in belgium. don't you know about them? >> i'm a little conflicted on this next one. nick, i don't know about you. bbc licence fee prosecutions to end, but for bad reasons . reasons. >> yeah, well, that's you saying that. of course i'm a feminist, but it's labour seats sven bbc licence fee prosecutions in the name of women. i think that was a u2 song. and yeah, the idea is that it unfairly penalises women. now it is slightly annoying. i see what you mean . annoying. i see what you mean. the licence fee has to go, but the idea that we only care about

it because of women, you know, you can just abuse any number of men you want, but it is. it is a ridiculous thing that women end up in prison because of this absurd, anachronistic. >> they do end up in prison. i mean, they're fined, aren't they? initially, i suppose, and then they. >> well, it was cherie blair. they were saying they end up in prison. i mean, a third of all, whether they end up in prison or not, i don't know, but it's a third of all female convictions are for not paying their tv license. that's madness. actually, she didn't say in prison. she just said that. so i know she did say she did say that. anyway. i'm sorry. >> there's no there's no statistical gap given in the story between the number that get prosecuted and the number that actually end up in jail . that actually end up in jail. >> and of course, this bizarre compromise where they end up saying that they don't want there's been a conscious effort to reduce the number of prosecutions, but they still need a prosecution. otherwise there is no system. so what are they doing? we'll just okay. we'll just 1 in 5. like what's what's the rule? they obviously just need to scrap the thing. >> it's a complete joke. well it's in a, it's in a very, terminal state now isn't it? but i personally, i think it'll be a sad day when it is scrapped. >> well, you do, you do. but i think there are people out there

watching it. and i think it's the greatest source of evil in this country is that when you have to pay for your own propaganda, it's bad enough that you're being propagandised by the bbc, which is not part of this, of our silo, that you have to pay £169 for this rubbish. some of it's good, but why should you have to be forced to pay-7 should you have to be forced to pay? and a lot of it is horrible. and the fact is, we've been lied to. i don't know how many conversations i have with people about the bbc. you don't have to pay it. you don't have to pay it. but they're suing a thousand people a year. but they're saying, well, then no one's going to jail because they didn't pay for the for this. no, they went to jail because they didn't pay for the fine. yeah, yeah. it's trickery. bbc give me a job, please, and i'll stop saying bad things about you. >> and if they weren't just pumping out woke propaganda, you look at those clips. i only watched the clips, but these bbc dramas, they're just awful ideological garbage. and it's slow paced, low iq rubbish. if they were doing some good work, maybe there's some good work. >> and if no, netflix is also rubbish . that's true. everywhere rubbish. that's true. everywhere is also rubbish, but we don't have to pay the bbc, you know. you don't have to of course, but it's not going to, it's not

going to alleviate the and there is some good stuff that comes. >> it is it's no it's been 60% licence fee. >> that's the problem. you can't just go to people's houses and say you pay for our rubbish drama about a trans person and how great they are on jaw—jaw nicola bulley. >> yeah, the wonderful mary harrington to wrap up this section, i think probably, yeah, this is in the telegraph . this is in the telegraph. another valid psychological diagnosis has been by the worried. well, yes. >> and this is story number 1313. yes. in the telegraph. you know, i'm sorry. this is this is like a guardian story. ptsd, which is post—traumatic stress disorder, has been by the happiness industry. and it's coming for your children. basically, it comes from being shot in the head a few times or near the head, and it can make you crazy. >> and they're saying, what happened to you? >> i yes, near the head. well, that was the point . yes. that was the point. yes. >> that was missed again. >> that was missed again. >> well , you >> that was missed again. >> well, you don't >> that was missed again. >> well , you don't know my >> well, you don't know my family. if you see, you know, my parents are crazy. most parents are crazy. it's the english. >> it is heritable. carry on. yeah. >> and it's like . it's like >> and it's like. it's like donald trump got shot in the

head. and he was a totally. it was a slightly different person when he came out of being shot in the head. and they're saying that this is affecting children. everybody has this. we all have it. why is it news? >> well, the idea of the happiness industry is absolutely true. thomas in 1963 coined the therapeutic state. it's radical expansion of making you have a mental health problem. and then the government can cure it for you with this sort of merging of mental health and politics. and that's where we are. we've all noficed that's where we are. we've all noticed it. ptsd a bit different. it does seem to be genuine and universal. you've seen horrific things in war and it's messed you up. and as they point out, here it goes all the way back to the herodotus and talking about it . so yes, that talking about it. so yes, that seems to be a real thing, but there's a distinction between that and you're made up and the lib dem who said that brexit had given them ptsd where he came from, isn't it? >> it's the idea that we've experienced actual mental trauma from the just the, you know, the roller coaster of politics in the last few years. >> i mean, i will have it from this show and working with lewis for 2 or 3 years, but that will be genuine. >> but you can drink. yeah. gin will cure that level of ptsd. >> but no, i'm on his side. i

understand it can, you know, you can get trauma from so many different things. >> and i think it's quite interesting. a very good book called tribe by sebastian junger , called tribe by sebastian junger, in which he posits that a lot of what's called ptsd is not people who have been exposed to horror, but people who miss the degree of camaraderie that they experienced when they were in war, when they were out on patrol, and they knew that they had their, their, their colleagues backs and vice versa . colleagues backs and vice versa. and everyone counted and was in a unit. and then they come home and they're atomised in a modern society. and they actually that's what sends them crazy. yeah. you know, the i think and also apparently people are just not doing their job and not doing theirjob and everything being vague and rubbish in those books. >> i read people coming back from war like, well, nothing works. no one's doing what they said they'd do. >> exactly. nick. we'll finish up with this one in this section. motherjones, up with this one in this section. mother jones, editor in chief, makes a very unmotherly criticism of kindly flight attendant. >> yeah , this is awful. >> yeah, this is awful. progressive magazine editor is mocked for making very petty criticism of hard working flight attendant mother and jones. as you say , editor in chief clara you say, editor in chief clara jeffery. and this is some progressive magazine thing and the plane landed and the flight

attendants wished everyone a blessed night, which obviously just a nice thing to do. but she was she found this terrible. she said replacement words such as great or fantastic would have worked just as well. and she said, this ain't someone she claimed someone next to her said, this ain't montgomery, sweetie, meaning alabama and the racist. yeah, yeah, there's some racist. yeah, yeah, there's some racist christian backward place. so it's absolutely disgusting and insane. but that's what these people are like. left wing people are not nice. and it's just. and they all steal that . just. and they all steal that. >> yeah, and they all steal. >> yeah, and they all steal. >> it's been blown up out of proportion into a new story. but it is kind of typical of the way that their minds work. it's a little snapshot into the they are they are horrible people. >> they never realised that the left think they're better than everybody else. so it's okay for them to get £100,000 worth of stuff for, for running . stuff for, for running. >> and it's interesting the words that she uses as the alternatives to blessed. you could have said great, or these are all euphemisms. it's not fantastic. fantastic means like literally the stuff of fantasy, right? yeah, she just means nice, good, calm , you know? nice, good, calm, you know? >> but those words themselves also, by the way, of course , also, by the way, of course, they unearthed many tweets of her saying blessed and god bless you and all these people. >> use it all the time. bless

you. >> it's the left. the left are elitist. and this and right now in america, you know, the fbi was going after catholic churches. so there's there should be a fear of people like this. and when and how can we win? >> they will be hung upside down on inverted crosses. >> and don't give it away. >> and don't give it away. >> that's part three in the can coming up we have the huge lawsuit against netflix. as mentioned earlier, the warnings against nurseries and coding your bookshelves. is it for losers? we'll see

>> and welcome back to the final section of headliners. tonight we have chilling news in the mail. louis, for anyone who was hoping to flog a made up or wildly exaggerated story about emotional trauma to netflix, yes, that's that. >> you could say that this is story number 15. daily mail . story number 15. daily mail. louis baby reindeer. remember on netflix real life martha gets green light to sue netflix for

libel after judge green light to sue netflix for libel afterjudge gives green light to sue netflix for libel after judge gives key ruling. so she's suing this. and this is that woman. her name is fiona harvey , and no one knew fiona harvey, and no one knew who who she was until this guy wrote a really brilliant which i saw . did you see that? no. did saw. did you see that? no. did you see that? did you see that? >> i haven't seen it. >> haven't seen it? it was. i thought it was brilliant, but it started by her. by him saying this is a true story. >> and in fact , he made it up. >> and in fact, he made it up. >> and in fact, he made it up. >> no, it was, it was pretty much true. but there was some exaggeration. >> it had to be true enough that she can sue. >> yes, it had to be so, so, so she went to court and said, i'm suing for 170 million. >> it starts by saying it's a true story. and that's what the judge was going off. it starts by saying, this is then so does fargo. and that's not a true story. >> so yeah. and even when they say this is not a true story, it could be a true story. but she has the right to sue because her feelings were hurt this well, because she was never convicted or adjudicated to be a stalker . or adjudicated to be a stalker. >> right. >> right. >> and there's a line between sort of free expression and slander, isn't there? i mean,

there was a woman who did an edinburgh show basically just libelling her ex, and that he did sue her. and, you know, there is a line where it's just you're saying horrible things about someone. but the other side of it, i was doing britain's got talent and they said to me, this joke about your ex—girlfriend, is that your real ex—girlfriend? and i'm like, if you can't do an ex—girlfriend joke, then stand up comedy is oven joke, then stand up comedy is over. yeah, so there must be line. >> but i've always said that's the difficult thing about getting married as a stand up, because then if you say my wife, we know who you're talking about. whereas if you say my girlfriend, it feels like it could be more general, vague. >> but if you have a wife and you say, my girlfriend, then you're in trouble as well. that's a whole other problem. >> yeah. nursery news now in the times, nick. and there is no place like home for the under ones. according to a guru. >> yeah. babies are better off at home than nursery says sure start guru. and apparently this was a policy introduced by tony blair. he's just everywhere, isn't he ? and this naomi isn't he? and this naomi eisenstadt, a former labour government adviser, is saying there was this nine month old baby who died when she was in a nursery. and so she's saying for under ones in my view, the care in the home is better than a

nursery. i don't know, i don't understand this topic, but to me it seems obvious care in the home is better. but i mean, it feels instinctively wrong to send your your under a literal baby to the nursery . baby to the nursery. >> even. even if the horrible thing that this story mentions there was a case recently where a child was literally suffocated. but well, the truth, the truth is, is who are the people who support these things is that the government makes more money by having babies sent to these things because they make money on the tax dollars and then babies die, which they don't care about. >> they don't want babies. they can import fully grown adults to do the work they do. >> they tend to present it, don't they? it's interesting. they tend to present it as a program to enable, you know, young mothers to get back to work as if that's what they're really eager to do. it's against nature to some extent, isn't it? well, that's what gb news is all about. was i will mention her. yeah. very specifically. my wife was, i think, shocked and surprised by how much her kind of whole being was screaming at her not to do that. she had been basically told, trained , basically told, trained, educated to expect that you could have a baby in three

months later you would find out some, care for it and get off back to work, you know. >> well, i agree with that. >> well, i agree with that. >> nature defeats feminism. >> nature defeats feminism. >> well, ultimately it certainly does, doesn't it? because it selects for traditional , you know. >> but here's the news. the news is that labour wants to put in 3000 new nurseries, because labour believes this, because labour believes this, because labour hates children, because labour hates children, because labour hates children, because labour hates the people of england. they don't want they want people working. >> louis, we have another sorry little story in the express now about another bad apple in the met. >> in the met this is a met. this is story 17 daily express i got to stop doing that. met police. oh, you said it was funny. >> it was funny for one episode. i know it's not that funny. >> this has been the worst show we've ever done, i've ever done or i won't apologise , i or i won't apologise, i apologise anyway, it's largely you. it's probably me. you. it's me. i was having a really good night the last time. and the tonight's not that. anyway. met police officer who spanked teen girl , teen girl, teen girl. girl, teen girl, teen girl. numerous times sacked but faces no prosecution. so they're a bit upset. this is taking place up there somewhere in the northwest. there's always that

bad stuff going on up there, but this is barely a teen because it was. she was 12 to 13 years old and there was a sexual element to him . how? it doesn't really to him. how? it doesn't really say how it got involved, how this how he got he was he was sacked, but he was not he was not he was not fired, prosecuted, not prosecuted. he should have been. he was fired. he shouldn't. he should have been prosecuted. but you can fire somebody for breaking a rule of the company, even though that's not against the law. right. >> we will finally get on to something of substance now, nick. and the rights and wrongs of furnishing your room with books. this will be our final story. this seems. take your time. >> designed to make me angry. this one. are your bookshelves really just wallpaper? survey suggests many people only use books just to boost the look of a room. and obviously, you know me. i've got an ma in literature. it's my whole life, so this makes me furious because i've read every book. and obviously i looked down on people who haven't, but especially if they use it as decoration, they're saying 9% pick covers because they'll complement the aesthetic of their homes, 31% making literary choices designed to project their personality to visitors.

that personality being vapid , that personality being vapid, apparently, and generation x admit they just do them, for they have books for a decorative look, so it's all pretty gross. and you should have books because you read them. they should be by people like dostoyevsky. >> this is, it felt to me like this was a possibly a slightly mean spirited and punitive attack on liz truss, who was photographed. she'd had one of those zoom calls, and you have the bookshelf, and her books were colour coded , so there's no were colour coded, so there's no suggestion that she bought them because they had red covers. it's just that the ones that had red covers were all together. and then you see what i mean. >> that thing i think liz truss has, she likes order and she likes routine things. so maybe she just ordered them like that. >> and i think once i mean i'm not quite as against that as i am. i do think it's like to buy books that just look impressive to go on your shelf, and you have no intention of reading. thatis have no intention of reading. that is obviously just hypocrisy. but once you've bought a book you like, i think you're entitled to kind of arrange it on your shelf how you want. i think you are, but i think there might be some purpose to it. >> i don't know, i think there's some purpose to arranging it by colour. it's like picking. it's like when somebody, when the designer reads the book and puts

a, puts a cover on the book and chooses a colour, it's a kind of a review. it's. and the problem is that people haven't read them. >> they're just doing it for show. >> well, that is certainly true. the show is nearly over. let's take another quick look at monday's front pages. the daily express cruel winter fuel cuts will cost the nhs 169 express cruel winter fuel cuts will cost the nhs169 million a yeah will cost the nhs169 million a year. the daily mail boris macron wanted punishment beating for britain over brexit the i. israel targets iranian weapons network in yemen after wiping out hezbollah leaders . the sun. out hezbollah leaders. the sun. and he tells kyle give me a £50 million to stay. the telegraph badenoch sparks tory splits over maternity pay costs and finally, the daily star invasion of the killer fungi . so those were your killer fungi. so those were your front pages. that's all we have time for. thank you to my guest, lewis schaffer and nick dixon. i'll be back tomorrow at 11:00 pm with kerry marx and leo kearse. if you've been watching at 5 am, stay tuned for breakfast. otherwise, thank you and have a blessed good night. >> i was hoping you know that warm feeling inside from boxt

boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello! welcome to your gb news weather update from the met office. it's going to be turning increasingly unsettled as we go through this evening and overnight. heavy spells of rain, but something a little bit drier as we go midweek. so we've got an area of low pressure that is going to bring in some strong, gusty winds, as well as heavy outbreaks of rain. there is a squeeze in those isobars as well, so there is a met office wind warning and also a rain warning that comes into force as we go overnight. so heavy spells of rain across southern counties into wales and into the midlands , into wales and into the midlands, cloudier skies further towards the north still with some outbreaks of rain here. lows of generally 10 or 11 degrees. quite a mild start to monday morning, but a damp start out there. heavy spells of rain and still some strong winds , still some strong winds, especially along the english channel and that heavy spell of rain will continue to push its

way northwards, affecting southern parts of england into wales as well. northern ireland also seeing cloudy start with outbreaks of rain, rain a bit patchier. further to the north you go across scotland and we may even see some brightness towards the far west, but really a messy picture out there on monday morning. we have got various weather warnings in force for heavy spells of rain that could lead to lead to disruption, and also some flooding, so that rain stalls across northern parts of wales and across the midlands into parts of lincolnshire and yorkshire, as well . elsewhere yorkshire, as well. elsewhere largely cloudy but turning drier towards the far south. highs of up to 17 or 18 degrees. that low pressure system then moves its way eastwards. we'll still get a keen breeze down the north—east coast with showery outbreaks of rain here, but further west you go. it should be largely a drier day with some sunny spells in store, and that sets the theme

through wednesday and thursday largely dry, with some spells of sunshine, highs of up to 18 degrees a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on
