yeah, you were there, i was there, and i saw it. >> no, you ran away. i think maybe you deserved it. really? enough with the louis schaefer for balance. >> i would like to say he absolutely didn't deserve it. right. let's have a look at those front pages. the daily mail leads with sue gray. farce shows pm's lack of judgement, blasts kemi. the daily telegraph leads with sue gray ousted as pm wields the knife. the times has grey ousted in labour coup. there's a theme developing here. there's a theme developing here. the daily mirror it's been a year of hell. time to find peace. and the eye has grey ousted in downing street. power struggle. and finally the daily star. did you see that massive beaver? and those were your front pages . okay, let's have a front pages. okay, let's have a closer look at the front pages, starting with monday's daily mail, please. yes. >> like you say, the big story on all the pages. megan's got a new look. and she goes solo to i can't. i'm looking at this. i

can't. i'm looking at this. i can't see what the new look is. she looks the same. she looks like a very attractive woman. >> i can't see her hair is curly in this. she's got wavy hair. >> i can't see that. >> i can't see that. >> i just see i've only got that very straight pantene advert. >> i see a very beautiful woman who has never fibbed. that's what i see when i look at that photo. in fact, if i move my if it's behind my head, if i sort of move my head like that, i can almost kiss. no. okay. anyway, big the other big story though, sue gray forecast shows pm's lack of judgement. blast peta blast kemi. this is covered in all the other papers, so sue gray has now been sort of ousted by the ruthless keir starmer. she was brought to in be fair, to help with the transition. arguably that's done their through their first 100 days, but what this is in the daily mail is really an appeal by kemi badenoch to, say, for vote me, tory members. she does say something quite interesting, though, that i didn't realise was that when kemi badenoch in her previous job, sue gray was

one of her advisers and pressured her or something to drop the opposition to the snp's gender recognition act, which as we know, went totally pear shaped because it was like anybody a 16 year old could be like, yeah, i'm a boy, i'm a girl, i'm a they or whatever it is. and then that was it in law. and that's arguably one of the things that brought down the snp, even though they're still obviously in power in north of the border. and that's quite scary. now, the question for me, i guess, would be whether sue gray ideologically believes that this that rubbish or whether she was just doing it, going along with everything as people did at the time. either way, it shows a bad sense of judgement. kay badenoch saying, you know what? i knew she was wrong. i stood against it and fair enough she did. >> i don't think, i don't think we know anything about sue gray. i don't think we know or i don't know anything about sue gray, and i know something about read the articles. i read the article. but you know this behind the scenes i've seen. yes, minister, but that doesn't mean we know what's going on behind those scenes. this woman, she

has destroyed two political parties. she. she brought down the tories, the conservatives . the tories, the conservatives. and she's bringing down this, you know, this story . it and she's bringing down this, you know, this story. it reminds me of michael ovitz. do you remember michael ovitz? and he was he was a big hollywood producer agent, and he was brought on by michael eisner to run the walt disney thing, walt disney company. and after that and he was there like for 16 months. and then they fired him and he was like, lost to the world. they basically every analogy with you always comes back to michael ovitz. >> are you saying sue gray is going to be lost to the world? is that where this is going? yeah, she's gone, she's gone, she's gone. >> she's got a different job now. so i'm just he only found out about her seven minutes ago, so. but i'm past it. my gut feeling is, is that she was brought. maybe she was brought to in destroy her. maybe she's the number one person in the whole government. that's why the audience tune in. >> they are tuning in for your very ill informed gut feeling. >> i'm not even sure it's a comedy program. judge says maybe sue gray was a labour sleeper. all along. are you saying?

actually, no. she's a she's a tory sleeper. is that what you're saying? >> no, she's somebody who has probably has no ideology whatsoever . and keir starmer whatsoever. and keir starmer needed to destroy her in order to do his own thing. >> interesting. i'm guessing that we've got to move on, lewis. let's have a look at the telegraph, please. >> a telegraph. more good news. this is more illegal alien migrants in the uk than anywhere in europe. and this is this is the front page of the daily telegraph . telegraph? which is telegraph. telegraph? which is how much money is that ? this is how much money is that? this is too much for us. >> £3.50. >> £3.50. >> what? >> what? >> what? >> what is £3 this show for free. but you get a lot of news if you want to read news. >> i don't get this for free. they have to pay me to turn up and listen to it. >> and it says, you know, according to the article, it says that because today was a busy day of people coming in, there were 973 people crossing there were 973 people crossing the water to come into britain. i mean, four of them died. so does that make it? >> i think it makes it not the point . lewis, this article >> i think it makes it not the point. lewis, this article is saying that there's one illegal migrant for every 100 people in

the uk. >> that's mind blowing . that is >> that's mind blowing. that is mind blowing. >> immigrants, illegal ones illegal. >> yeah. and that's and that's more than germany, which is about 700,000 more than france . about 700,000 more than france. yeah. arguably larger spaces. whether that counts or not. not population, but larger spaces physically. but yes, 1 in 100. and the question is why are these illegal immigrants going through all these other countries , these safe countries, countries, these safe countries, and going and making a beeline for the uk? what is that? why are this, this 1 in 100 people here for? well, they're here for the gifts that our society provides them. >> well, and specifically, some newspapers have been reporting migrants getting off the boats and saying cheers , starmer. and saying cheers, starmer. thanks for that. yeah. because , thanks for that. yeah. because, because, because now they can say and it's i mean, the thing is, the fact that i've been here for 24 years now and people didn't ask that question back in the day. >> they called anybody wanting to move to this country an asylum seeker, as if it's so horrible where they're from that they're seeking asylum here and now. they just say , well, it

now. they just say, well, it must be really good here. i don't like a confident british people. i think i like them to be to think, wow, things must be really bad here for them. maybe i don't care, but anyway. but you know what? the other important news is that people are unhealthy. according to the university of oxford. did you want to add something to that story? >> no, no, no, story? > no, no, no, no , story? >> no, no, no, no, i story? >> no, no, no, no, i didn't say where you were jumping off. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> more health, fun and games and as i said, because what i said, what i said, i'm not sure i believe what i said, but yeah, that's a big no no. >> it's a big story. the next one is a big story. baby boomers do it. say, yeah, it's your generation. >> according to the university of oxford, which is that big university up in oxford didn't get in. is it people? is it the baby boomer boomers of which i call myself a baby boomer and they call me that too. they're fatter, sicker , weaker. they fatter, sicker, weaker. they have more chronic disease, more obesity, more disability, disability than people from an earlier generation. >> so, well, well, people who fought world war ii, people who fought world war ii, people who fought world war two, which is i don't know. >> i don't know what what those

people were. well, they had rationing. >> no wonder they were fitter and healthier. they definitely they didn't have enough nutrients, did they? and now we've got far too many. >> no, that's not true. they didn't. the nutrients that people are eating today is you can look at look at how great i look is because they're eating more fruits and vegetables today. they're eating more. they're more vegans. they're more vegetarians. people are downing broccoli . downing broccoli. >> this is fascinating and a very hot take. we've got more nhs stuff coming up later on and you might want to save this for later. yeah. let's have a quick look at the mirror, please. john. >> yeah, it's been a year of hell time to find peace. now i'm in two minds about this article. this is about a hostage, emily, who has been de—man. she has dual citizenship , british and dual citizenship, british and israeli. she's been a hostage now for coming up to a year tomorrow . and this is an article tomorrow. and this is an article about her mother who was at the memorial today in hyde park in london, which i attended. and she gave an incredibly emotional speech. and i'm really, first of all, grateful that finally it seems like she's getting some

coverage as the british citizen who's been held in the most unbelievable conditions, we can't even imagine what she has been through and is going through . so i'm glad that the through. so i'm glad that the mirror has put this on the front page at the same time, they're what they say in their little box here she called the mother, called for an end to killing on all sides . now that is somewhat all sides. now that is somewhat true, but that wasn't really what a speech about. everybody wants a stop to the killing of all sides, right? but what she really asked for was for this uk government to do everything it can to get one of our citizens back and free. and that's what she called for. and the idea that it was some sort of mealy mouth . everybody come by, ya mouth. everybody come by, ya know, she is trying to save her daughter. and it was absolutely heartbreaking and i was grateful to be there and see it. >> yeah. this is this is interesting that it's on the mirror isn't it lewis i wouldn't i don't know anything about it. you don't know anything about it. okay. well in that case, we'll move on. let's have a look at this story instead. then finally, the daily star. lewis, what's sophisticated headline have they got? that was a joke i

made or an attempt. >> no, it wasn't. or an attempt. i can't be sure. it was a it was, it was, it was concise. >> 20s to talk about this big beaven >> see that massive beaver? giant beavers could be on the rampage of rivers near you because they want to bring the beavers back. it's just a play on words. it's called beavers because beavers stand for something. this team world. no death of love. well, in a way it is team world. it's saying we don't need to produce food. we just have beavers. and beavers are better than food. they don't do anything. the beavers bring. can you eat a beaver? when was the last time you ate her? >> right. that's it. that's the front pages. out of the way. no more. join us in part two for some boris johnson chat. the on the tory leadership battle. and someone's got a

welcome back to headliners i'm cressida wetton still here with josh howie and lewis schaffer. and we're starting with monday's telegraph and boris johnson making the case for a

referendum. this feels horribly familiar. >> josh, before we get to that, i just want to do a shout out to tuckerman's. we saw their advert dunng tuckerman's. we saw their advert during the break and i just want to say that, look, if i had the space for a shelving unit, what were they selling? drills , were they selling? drills, shelving, shelving unit, tougher man thing. it seemed like a very reasonable prices. now, i don't know if this ad boycott thing is still going on, but i just want to say for the for the people who do advertise with us, thank you very much. and that looked like a really good product. >> i have not been told to say that you know what, josh? if you actually bought that, you would have space. so that was a really bad promotion. >> no, i think i think i've doubled up there anyway. you're welcome. tuckerman's anyone have any views on what would happen if we if we. yes. and the reason why i told that article is because if we left this echr, i would not have been allowed to say that wonderful statement about tuckerman's. no , no about tuckerman's. no, no channel migrant deal if uk quits echr say brussels sources this is the ongoing saga of the echr. the only reason i know about it is because i've been forced to

read about it. it's much more complicated than people think . complicated than people think. and then. but boris johnson is now saying, well, let's do a referendum. it's like, you know what? i don't want to hear the words, no offence, i know he's on gb news, but i just don't want to hear boris johnson and referendum put together again. also because it is such a complicated issue for people to then really have to get a grip on, because there are point. >> i remember when we were trying to learn about brexit, trying to learn about brexit, trying to learn about brexit, trying to get a handle on it and thinking what are the consequences? what does it mean? and i don't want to go through all that. >> i don't want any more buses and all this kind of stuff. but there is an issue here. first of all, this is somewhat moot because keir starmer, who is in power for however many the next five years, has said no, we're not leaving the that's what anyway. but brussels have basically said if you want to talk about having some sort of migration deal, then that is like a non negotiation, like we have to stay in the echr. the ironic thing is that many countries in europe now actually are having their own issues with their echr, because migration is

becoming a real problem across the continent. yeah. so there we go. that's my take. >> well, the point is, the point is you don't need to have any deal or kind of deal is that is that britain could stop. we don't why don't we have to have a deal with them. we just we need gunships in the channel which are going to shoot at any boats coming, and it will stop boats coming, and it will stop boats from coming. that's all you need to do. >> a very radical position , louis. >> i didn't say i believed in that, but that's an option. no. >> can i just say something? i'm trying to help this channel. i'm trying to help this channel. i'm trying to help this channel. i'm trying to get advertisers in, get us more money. and louis is trying to get us a big old fine from ofcom. louis, we've got to work together. we've got to go in the same direction here. >> they people want to hear the truth. the truth is you don't need any. you don't need to make any deal with france. arrogant france, who thinks that? like there's somebody over there . there's somebody over there. they thought they were the eu. they're not the eu. they're a dead country and germany is a dead country and germany is a dead country and germany is a dead country . the economy for dead country. the economy for those places are crumbling and the people are being taken over. we should just speak the truth.

>> it's such an extraordinary statement. i don't know where to begin. which one? france is a dead country. france is not arrogant. >> france is. france is a dead country. when they have a guy in the middle like macron, who doesn't have any power base whatsoever, they start talking as if he's as if he's mr eu. he was once mr eu, but he's still the leader of france. yes, of france, of tiny little france off the coast of america. >> you should hear what they say about you, right? we've got to get on with this independent. now, is that james cleverly? he's had a nice week, hasn't he, louis? >> according to this, this is the independent, which is not a newspaper. it's a website. it used to be a newspaper. they used to be a newspaper. they used to be a newspaper. they used to print out a copy and papen used to print out a copy and paper, but it's not paper. >> you used to be a comedian, didn't you? >> yeah, well, i take responsibility for my own failure. they should say we're not a newspaper and we shouldn't be. so don't take his side. we? james cleverly overtakes robert jenrick in tory leadership race. new post—conference survey suggests. and it says it says that he would that james cleverly would beat would beat

robert jenrick. but the truth is he's not even robert jenrick is not the main guy and that doesn't mean cleverly's the main quy- doesn't mean cleverly's the main guy.the doesn't mean cleverly's the main guy. the main guy is our is supposedly kemi badenoch. he's not even a guy. yeah , well, we not even a guy. yeah, well, we would from new york. we'd call her a guy , we'd call her a guy. her a guy, we'd call her a guy. so. so the truth is , is that is so. so the truth is, is that is that it's like. it's like this is like jemmy carter and people like, he's 100 years is like jemmy carter and people like, he's100 years old. i remember when jemmy carter was fighting. >> everything ends in some american analogy with you . american analogy with you. >> yeah, because. because you learn from analogies. the truth is, we're in a state of emergency right now. we've got a thousand people in boats coming . thousand people in boats coming. we've got millions of people in this country who hate this country. we're going to be at war with the with those countries that down there, iran. and we need, we need we need. and we need, we need we need. and the tories are not even like the tories anymore. >> we're not going to be at war is wrong. but i do agree that we're somewhat in a state of emergency because we have a labour government who are making some missteps, and we need any healthy democracy, needs a healthy democracy, needs a healthy opposition. and that's not what we have at the moment.

this stupid leadership contest has gone on way too long, and there needs to be someone there, someone strong, who can hold labour to account. whether or not you're a labour supporter or not, it went on way too long. >> in the first week. it's been on, week after week. they're doing this thing because they want to have an american system. they like the ideas. look, look, i'm being well known in the whole thing. that's not how the british system works. yeah, and the and the tories are not the party for us. i don't think . i party for us. i don't think. i mean, i'm not even i'm not even us. don't even vote. yeah. don't even vote. >> they're big. they're a big deal >> they're big. they're a big deal, lewis. they need the leadership contest is very important in this country. >> if the tories were important. but the tories don't are important. >> you can't say they're not important. they're still going to be the opposition for the next five years. >> how do you know? how do you know they're going to be the opposition for the next five years? >> it's my strongly held opinion because they've got 70 seats or have 110 seats in the in the thing. >> oh my god, this is the worst show i've ever done. >> that's not true. i could refer you to several that were far more traumatic in the guardian. next. >> why don't you tell me, lewis? it's comedy. why don't you learn

to shut up when i start talking? why don't you tell me you're the leader? >> requested a shock collar for you on this show. they won't let me have it. >> but i went way too far closer. >> right. we're in the guardian now. and josh , president macron now. and josh, president macron wants to know. hey, guys, why can't we all just get along? just. >> it's a comedy show, josh. okay? >> it's a comedy show i want to be funny about, you know, countries here trying to eradicate israel. >> the only funny, just democracy in the middle east. >> i'm going to be real funny about this. netanyahu hits out at macron over call for halt to arms exports to israel. so essentially what it is israel now taking care of hezbollah, which in lebanon, france has connections in lebanon . and now connections in lebanon. and now france said, oh, fine, you know, oh, we america should stop selling weapons to israel, whilst israel finds itself fighting on seven different fronts and brilliantly, netanyahu, who i'm not historically been a fan of . but historically been a fan of. but i've got to be honest, he's gone up, in my estimation, over the last couple of weeks with the destruction of hezbollah, has basically just put out this amazing video that just says, we

don't need you. and in fact, you are shamed. you are. this is shameful that you are not supporting us. and western democracy in our hour of need. and i totally agree with him. and, you know, macron, everything that louis said about your country i agree with. >> so we're back to macron's leader of a dead nation, luke. >> he's leader of a dead nation. >> he's leader of a dead nation. >> .andthey are arrogant. >> .and they are arrogant. >> .and they are arrogant. >> you have to understand with this guy is, you know, you know what what ronald reagan said. you have to speak as margaret thatcher. one of those two. you got to speak in bold. what are those people said? you got to speak in. you got to live and speak in. you got to live and speak in. you got to live and speak in bold colours. and macron does not speak in bold colours because he's two. he's not here. and he's not there. he's right. whatever he is, he does. >> but yeah, bibi netanyahu or whatever he speaks in bold , he whatever he speaks in bold, he speaksin whatever he speaks in bold, he speaks in bold colours, very bold and the truth is, is that france has got 20, 30% of the population are people who hate israel. >> so he's got to deal with those people. so he's in a delicate thing . so there's delicate thing. so there's nothing that netanyahu can do.

>> and i want to say one more thing here. when he talks about in his shameful speech, macron, he's saying, oh, we want to return to a political solution. this is a massive misreading of the ability . there's no the ability. there's no political solution with islamic fundamentalists. they're mental. >> it's in the name comedy. josh oh , yeah. sorry. oh, yeah. sorry. >> comedy. comedy. now go back. >> comedy. comedy. now go back. >> i want to push back on that. but it's very difficult, isn't it? i don't know how you negotiate with nutters. >> you would not. not even. they're not even nutters. they just have a side that they're not going to back down on. they have a they have a perfect right to demand their own state to live in the place that their ancestors. >> but that's not that's not hezbollah is all about. they're not asking for own state. all they're asking for is the destruction of israel . destruction of israel. >> and then right then, that's part of their whole worldview. so why shouldn't they be able to live their lives like that? >> so you're so sort of live and let live, aren't you, louis? >> i'm not. i'm just saying no, i'm with you. i agree with you, but i think you have to take that into account. >> i'm not sure you do. right. sticking with the guardian and a story about the lack of gp appointments available. no doubt you've got some ideas about how to fix this, louis, but perhaps

you could just tell us the news first. >> the news first. thank you very much, crescent. i see you being trained . trained? you're being trained. trained? you're trying to train me into gp care . trying to train me into gp care. analysis. cast doubt on labour. pledged to bring back the family doctor. what's what they're saying is this is this survey that was done by somebody, by by frontier economics. whatever it is, it said people are being pushed, pushed away. they can't go to the gp because the wait is too long. so they're being told too long. so they're being told to go to the pharmacy or go speak to a nurse or go speak to some physiotherapist . and the some physiotherapist. and the truth is, is that people in there, it's a it's a two pronged problem. one, people that there's a problem getting the doctor. and the second problem is, is the doctors don't have any answers for anybody anymore because people have type 2 diabetes because they're fat and bloated and out of shape and don't have a proper diet. so when they go to the gp, what does the gp going to do? they're going to say, just go here or go there and there's this long delay. >> i do have a lot of sympathy for gp's having to see people who aren't necessarily helping themselves. yes, there is that ozempic is going to save the

world in a minute and we're all going to be fit and healthy like magic. but i mean, wes streeting this week has been saying, hasn't he? that's not the answer. people have got to take some responsibility. absolutely. >> but but making this promise to bring back the family doctor is a silly promise, because it isn't necessarily needed. the work needs to go to where who needs it. now i don't need to see a to gp get if for example, if i had a verruca i'm not saying i do, but if i had a verruca i don't see i don't need gp for piles. if i had piles i could go and you know, i could go if i, if my, if my wee was burning i wouldn't have to see a gp necessarily. >> yes you would. and this is where you're wrong. it's all hypothetical where you're wrong. somebody called somebody called gp's the best. what do they call that thing where it's like a prophylactic. it's like a prophylactic. it's like a prophylactic. it's like a prophylactic. it makes people feel better. you go there, you've got a verruca. and the doctor says, okay, i can see a specialist, i can see a nurse, i can see whatever. they don't want you. they don't want you to see a specialist anyway. >> if someone doesn't want you, want you to. you mean. you mean you're talking about going up the food chain to somebody more

specialist? yes, but josh's point is that there's lots of things that can be dealt with further down the pecking order. sorry, that's not a very nice way to say it . way to say it. >> yeah. i mean, what what would someone do with burning? >> we with burning we they would change their diet. like what happened to me is they'd go off of a plant based diet. they would eat a carnivore meat based diet, meat and eggs , and their diet, meat and eggs, and their pee would stop burning. >> so you don't think it's anything sexual? >> you know what? if it still exists after a month or two, then. then you go. >> then you've been affected so much by any of the issues on this program. websites are available. time for a break now. don't go anywhere in the next section. we'll be finding out why baked beans have become controversial. why women are having a hard time at i can tell you and which american city has had a glow

welcome back to headliners , welcome back to headliners, opening this section with a story demonstrating that people can get very sensitive about

weddings. this is in the independent. >> yes. and the independent, which is a non newspaper. they don't print any, they don't print anything . so you can't print anything. so you can't call them groundhog day. by—line times. prince more stuff than this. the story i'm getting there. you interrupted me. josh. story ten haines apologises after new ad featuring black family sparks sparks outrage . family sparks sparks outrage. basically because they had a white mother. it was. it was an interracial thing, which is not good enough for people anymore. they want to have that. what happened was this there was a white mother only had a mother. they didn't have a black mother. and so there was a lot of complaints on the black father. >> and this is all assumption because these people don't have labels on them. >> they don't have a label. this is the father. could be just what i think is, is a breakdown in the extra cast that they supported artists and, you know, they maybe they didn't . maybe they maybe they didn't. maybe they maybe they didn't. maybe the person who's going to be the father, the father didn't show up that day. so they said, what

are we going to do? well, we have to pretend that everything's okay. well, maybe the budget was too low, or maybe the budget was too low, or maybe the budget was too low, or maybe the budget was too low. and you can't that haines, even can't believe that haines, even though person who was is though the person who was is john. so rememberjohn zahawi, he was mr climate change guy. his wife is the owner. >> keeps the story. keep the story story. >> okay. but but the point is, this wasn't in a newspaper. it was just on twitter. it's nothing. >> it's no . but the complaints >> it's no. but the complaints are on twitter. and haines has apologised and all this stuff. but it was based on the whole theme of these outbursts, was it was based on a true story. right. so people are saying this plays into the tropes of absent black fathers, but there's a few interesting things, as if it's based on a true story. maybe the father was dead. yeah, or maybe actually he wasn't part of this woman's life. or as is pointed out. but according to this photo, it could be that the white older man was actually the father just because of white older man was actually the fatherjust because of the white older man was actually the father just because of the way of the city. i was. paramedics could see a white guy in an advert shows up. maybe i'm going to get some work in the future.

>> it's a very, very it's a very. >> here is the point. the point is people have the internet now so they can it's so to easy complain. how would we even know this with a complaint back in the day? how would you even ask if somebody out there with a placard saying, we saw this ad and we're unhappy? no one would have known that anyone was unhappy about this before the internet. >> the point is, they're going to do any true stories adverts in the future. just make sure that you know it doesn't conform to gosh forbid. >> so you're saying, isn't it sort of saying there's one way and no other? and if we don't see that, there's going to be trouble, which is very troubling. yeah. okay . the troubling. yeah. okay. the guardian next on a story about the miracle that is my career. josh. indeed. >> young british women struggle more than men to progress at work, study suggests. suggests, by the way, no proof suggests women aged 18 to 30 are more likely to feel money issues , not likely to feel money issues, not experience money issues, feel money issues because women feel more right. this is a story

based on feeling, but actually it gets quite offensive. i believe so because what it says is that basically through statistics kind of proves that women are or men. it's not that women are or men. it's not that women are or men. it's not that women are necessarily worse at saving, but it's that says just that men are better at saving or allocating the money. and you're blaming this feeling because men are better at saving money, is the gist of the article . the gist of the article. >> and that is not the you're not good at saving money. so are you offended by josh? >> i'm not. >> i'm not. >> no, that's not it is i was thinking women, women, men. no, we have to work. we know we're useless. nobody wants to hang out with a broke guy. but women who are beautiful, like our host here. >> they say this is a hobby for you, cressida. >> yeah, it's a hobby. that's what they think. they think their princess is going to come along and give them money. this is what they're hoping for. so any job that a woman does is going to be bothersome to a much more offensive take than mine. >> yes . >> yes. >> yes. >> that's so deeply offensive. and as usual with you, there's a grain of truth in it. i mean,

warren farrell, you've written about this. now i can back it up. i've done some reading and the problem is that historically, men have had no choices. yeah, it's like, go to work. that's your choice, you know? yeah. childcare for men wasn't an option . nowadays, wasn't an option. nowadays, women do have a choice, but people get they kind of want to have everything, don't they? and it's no surprise that the gender pay gap, if it's no surprise that the gender pay gap, if you believe in it, is bigger between the ages of 30 and 39. i wonder why that is. i wonder what's going on at that time. and it's a choice, isn't it? you. you can't do everything i know, but this sentence here is the one that really young women are also more likely to have taken on new debt in the past 12 months than young men and save less. >> so this is this is what it is. so they're saying that women are spending more of their income and saving less , and then income and saving less, and then they're feeling afterwards like they're feeling afterwards like they have more financial concerns. yes. save more, spend less. yeah. >> and the truth is, is that young women between the ages of 20 and 30 make more money than men nowadays. yeah, so you're right. we're all right. women

bad . bad. >> okay, we're in the telegraph next. learning about america's most dysfunctional city from its most dysfunctional city from its most maladjusted former citizen, louis schaffer. >> oh, this is me. america's most dysfunctional city has finally come to its senses. this is story number 12 in the telegraph, which is a real newspaper. and i think you get good value in those £3.50 for an issue. it's a very good newspaper. it is not that good, but it's not as good as they think they are or we think we are. no one's as safe as they are, but they will be good when the people. >> what do they think about this story? >> they think this is an article by somebody who who went to portland after having when they were there in the past two years ago, and they'd been away and they came back and they found it cleaner and nicer because it used to be a hellhole. it was a lovely i've never been to portland, but other places in oregon, and it's a lovely state. it used to be. it used to be a lovely state filled with lovely people. >> can you just explain that portland is the kind of brighton of now america? no, no, no. in terms of incredibly liberal governance and at the time, a

few years ago in the post, bill black lives matter movement, defunding the police , defunding the police, decriminalising hard drugs led to just people dying in the streets from fentanyl and people defaecating in the streets, and they didn't do anything about it. >> and they declared certain areas of it off limits. or there was they were like for homeless people. and the place became really rundown. >> and then they realised it didn't work. and it didn't surprise, surprise. >> but you know what? i think what happens is, is like a city like portland, it was never bad. and then they thought to themselves, look, new york city was bad. and it came back. maybe we can get bad and then come back. >> i guess they planned it all along. >> yeah. you know what? and you don't realise a lot of people want to like this city wanted to be a city like new york. they didn't like the idea that it was peaceful and loving. they wanted the city to be a 24, our city. and that brings problems. >> okay, moving to the guardian and a story about getting parents who can't take care of their kids to pay for them. josh, how is this going to work? >> yes, not very well. english council may ask parents of children taken into care to pay half the costs . there is

half the costs. there is somewhat of a crisis in this country because local councils are now paying for children's services, and also adult services, and also adult services, and also adult services, and those bills are going ever up and up because they've been outsourced to private companies who are making a profit and charging arguably a fortune. and then this is they're spending huge amounts of our council tax now at a local level on all of this stuff. the this council here, derbyshire authority is saying, you know, what, if you've got your kid into care by voluntary not not if they've been like abused or anything, but if this is a voluntary thing, you should chuck £100 or so a week. that sounds like possibly reasonable or not. the point is it's going to if it it only applies to like 28 families, or it would raise £100,000 a year, which is nothing compared to the £13 million overspend. so it's seems a very punitive way of actually achieving nothing. >> and the people, sorry, the people who are getting this

services probably don't have anything, which is why their kids are so ratty and they need to be taken to mental health facilities. so £113 or £90, it doesn't seem like much to you, josh. >> it's like everything to me. >> it's like everything to me. >> no, she's one. she's getting paid all the money now. >> she would complain no matter how much money she was, because she's a woman. >> she spends it out. >> she spends it out. >> she spends it out. >> she doesn't save it to the news. >> back to the news. >> back to the news. >> this seems like the majority of people who it would apply to would probably too be vulnerable or poor. or is it likely that they wouldn't be able to pay it anyway? so is there some kind of preventative aspect to that? i don't really see how they think it's going to work. >> they just want to. they just want to make make a scene. this is what i think. i think i know how a council works. they want to make a scene. so when they don't get the money they can say, you see, we asked for it, but but central authority won't let us do it or they won't do it. so we have to ask you for more council taxes. >> performative. council taxes. >> perform ative. interesting. okay, >> performative. interesting. okay, closing this section with the daily mail and a proposal to moderate youthful exuberance for the greater good. louis. >> yes, this is the daily mail,

which is a newspaper. this is a story. 14. it says louis right here. i like saying that i'm telling the story. nobody cares . telling the story. nobody cares. it's 11:00. no, they really don't care. >> they get their news from us. >> they get their news from us. >> no they don't, they do. >> no they don't, they do. >> people are waking up also at five in the morning. they are getting our news. >> how many? >> how many? >> you don't want to know that the express is a newspaper. >> they know that they don't want to see you getting so excited. no. they do. >> it's waking them up. >> it's waking them up. >> no, there are some people on twitter who feel very much the way josh has just spoken there. >> well, if you enjoy what i'm saying and nice. slow. i'm slow. he's not saying anything. >> you can't too be slow because we've only got a couple of minutes. we've got to get on with it. >> what if we don't cover this story? let's say we don't cover it. no. >> do it. it's an important story. >> it isn't that important. >> it isn't that important. >> yes it is. »- >> yes it is. >> would you read that? no. i'm going to say teenage drivers. could you want to read the story? teenage drivers could be banned from giving lifts to their young friends for the first six months. on the road, under new restricted licence proposals. so what what's happening is, is that people, 17 year olds, who are getting their licence for the first time, say are tend to be a bit more reckless that 18

year olds and 19 year olds. so they're saying for the first six months, you can drive, you can drive whatever you want to drive, but you can't drive your friends because there's lots of people who have died in these incidents. >> and it's a brilliant idea. i remember i got my license in 17. i drove through central london, my lights off in the middle of the night. i didn't realise i didn't figure that out. i drove down the a40, down in the wrong direction because i came off a roundabout. wrong. you're 17. you're stupid. you don't. you're not comfortable with the road yet ? well, i not comfortable with the road yet? well, i think this is brilliant. >> i unfortunately, i'm from a rural area. i know of several families who've lost people to exactly this very young people, overexcited. new car. let's go. and when there's multiple young people in the car, sometimes there is a sort of showing off element. yeah. don't want a victim blame here. it's a very sensitive subject, but i think this is quite sensible. >> it sounds sensible, i will say why it's not sensible. it's part of the anti—car thing. they don't want people to drive. they want to take away our cars. they want to take away our cars. they want to take away our cars. they want to enslave us in these 15 minute community communities, 15 minute community communities, 15 minute slums. and they don't want us to, i don't think i

think you're wrong about that. >> i think occasionally something good comes along and this is good and totally this will make cars. this will reduce the problems with cars. >> i will agree with you , but i >> i will agree with you, but i can't because i know these. this is the kind of thing that this sounds perfect. >> and when you wish i cut you off just to agree with you, that would have been perfect. okay, that's the end of part three. come back in the final section to get my panel's hot take on hot flushes. a solution fear of the . and you might not want to send

welcome back to headliners opening the final section with the times and news about menopause. i'm delighted we've got two men here to sort this one out. >> josh. indeed, the row over hrt and menopause dividing the medical world. this is a panorama investigation to doctor louise newson. and she basically says she gives herself 300mg, which is three times the

recommended amount of hrt, which is a combination of two hormones, oestrogen and progesterone . now, as my wife is progesterone. now, as my wife is on the drugs, say that that's so rude. no, she's she's a very big exponent of it. she thinks it's, you know, they're they arguably life saving drugs in terms of keeping her mentally sane. so is the idea that if you regulated going through the menopause, you start to get this. >> you take something like pmt, you start to go a bit crazy. you get hot all the time, you're unhappy, and then this stuff prevents that. >> yeah, it prevents that sort of postpones it, not postpones it. no . so when you do, by the it. no. so when you do, by the time you're regulated, you i guess could come off it regulated. >> but what she's there's no regulation. >> this is the point is i think it's a miracle drug for men in terms of like not having your wife being angry at you all the time. it's brilliant. i think my wife would agree. but what this is about is the dosage now. yes . is about is the dosage now. yes. this doctor here is saying that there aren't the trials on it . there aren't the trials on it. she doesn't just give people who come to her eight clinics the

maximum amount they have. the regular amount. and then they test their blood and see, because it's all about it's all in a gel. how fat is the skin or hairy or their arms or whatever it is, what you put on the skin doesn't get it , essentially. and doesn't get it, essentially. and then she adjusts accordingly. i think that seems sensible, but it's kicked off a big hoo ha. the point is it's brilliant. it's a brilliant drug. >> i think, louis, i think somebody's got to defend women on this. i think it's part of the whole hysterical that you're hysterical, which comes from hysterical, which comes from hysterical hysterectomy and hysterical hysterectomy and hysterical whatever . it's. hysterical whatever. it's. you're saying women aren't good enough because they need to be proper . enough because they need to be proper. we've enough because they need to be proper . we've got to check their proper. we've got to check their women's balances because they tend to be moody. so we'll give them give them you'll want to check your balance every two seconds. i don't know about that. i don't take any medication for it. and that's i mean, i do take a bit of heroin and some cocaine to cocaine . and some cocaine to cocaine. picks me up. but so i'm regulated with heroin and cocaine. >> oh, louis, look , i know what >> oh, louis, look, i know what for. >> cocaine, heroin, pmt is real, right? >> it makes us feel more full of rage. >> so why should we give? >> so why should we give? >> you know how old women are. because if we can make that go

away, we could get on with other stuff . stuff. >> well, we can make them go away by eliminating women in the world. maybe have a separate place that would work for one generation. >> brilliant. okay, louis, we're in the star. next was that i don't remember if you believe in dentists or not, but does this sway you? >> i don't, i do believe in dentists, but they need to be used about 3% of the time. they don't need to be used for cavities. this is this is this is the man who doesn't brush his teeth. yes. i'm going to get to that. it's. it's the inside world of the first made dental made. made dental clinic has male punters say it takes the fear away. it's. this is in japan and it's a dental clinic where the where the doctors, the nurses get dressed up as or the nurses get dressed up as or the nurses get dressed up. or maybe the dentists, female dentists, they get dressed up as maids and it makes it makes them calmer. yeah. >> and manga characters and manga characters. >> this has more to do with how mental the japanese are with this whole maids and men. i've seen very culturally sensitive josh howie. >> well, this is just it is true. >> it's a fetish. and then

you've got blokes i imagine going along and saying, oh god, i was about to do a. i was that close to being haniyeh just said 230. >> i think we've got 2.5 minutes. oh, that was a very funny joke from the gallery. >> that is very funny. okay , i >> that is very funny. okay, i got in trouble there. >> the point is, if you're watching this, i have not brushed my teeth in over four years. >> we know. okay . yes. moving to >> we know. okay. yes. moving to the guardian. >> you don't need dentist. you don't need a dentist. if you if you. i nominate, you do carbs, sugar moving to the guardian. >> and an excellent excuse for anyone who doesn't like sending christmas cards. josh? >> yes . uk christmas cards. josh? >> yes. uk charities fear first class stamp rise . price rise class stamp rise. price rise will mean fewer christmas cards sent. so this is a very tenuous thing. like in the four months before christmas. this is the fourth increase in in a few years. it's now £1.65 to do a first class for a first class stamp. that's a lot of money . stamp. that's a lot of money. but then the second class one, which is the time usually gets

to the next day anyway, don't tell anyone. it's only £0.85 and has stayed the same price, so even if the point. so to make that connection to. first of all, there would be less christmas cards. no, if you're going to send a christmas card and you're like the kind of person who's organised enough and enough to, like, have a christmas list and have everybody's addresses and write it out and do all that, i guarantee they're the type of people who will send it in time to get there. they won't need to send it first class number one. so then to make the next connection the guardian does, which is that there's going to be less christmas cards, so there's going to be less charity money from charity christmas cards is like guardian man, sort your life out, go and do some charity. >> we can carry on with this. we've got one minute to do the last story of the evening. story 18. louis, i wouldn't want to depnve 18. louis, i wouldn't want to deprive you of this world's widest octopus. >> should we be doing this? >> should we be doing this? >> the headline world's weirdest octopus detaches penis arm for sex and it grows twice its size. >> so it has a penis. it's an octopus . and it throws its.

octopus. and it throws its. takes its penis off to impregnate a woman. why does it do it? >> it's scared of the females. because it thinks that women are horrible . horrible. >> horrible. no it is. this woman is horrible because it's. i think it's five times the size of the male . because this is one of the male. because this is one of the male. because this is one of those things. >> very sensible to me. josh, have you got any thoughts? >> don't give him. >> don't give him. >> he's laughing, but you detach it off and then it comes back on and whatever. and it holds it. it holds its bit. not not bit. it holds its bit. not not bit. it doesn't come, it holds its sperm in, in its arm. and it just sort of throws the, the arm. and then the woman just goes, ooh. and there you go. >> okay. the nature's beautiful is nearly over. let's take another quick look at monday's front pages. the daily mail leads with sue gray. farce shows pm's lack of judgement , blasts pm's lack of judgement, blasts kemi. the daily telegraph has sue gray ousted as pm wields the knife. sue gray ousted as pm wields the ane.the sue gray ousted as pm wields the knife. the times has grey ousted in labour coup . the daily mirror in labour coup. the daily mirror has. it's been a year of hell. to time find peace. the i has grey ousted in downing street

south—west, but otherwise cloud and rain continuing to move its way north and eastwards , way north and eastwards, affecting much of scotland to start monday morning. clearer skies behind that turning dry. we'll still see a few showers around, but temperatures generally staying up at around 10 or 11 degrees, so it is going to be a damp and gloomy start across scotland. we've got outbreaks of rain persisting. this will gradually move its way northwards. we've also got a strong easterly wind as well, giving a chilly feel to start the day. cloudy conditions remaining across northern ireland with some showery outbreaks of rain here and pushing into northwestern parts of england further towards the south, hopefully waking up to some brighter skies. but also there are going to be some showers around so that band of rain across scotland will gradually move its way northwards, affecting much of orkney and shetland. otherwise it's a case of sunny spells and scattered showers. some of these could be heavy, containing the odd rumble of thunder, perhaps merging to give some longer

spells of rain. at times too. but where you do dodge the showers , we'll see temperatures showers, we'll see temperatures rising up to 17, possibly 18 degrees towards the south, but unpleasant towards the north. further spells of heavy rain moving their way northwards across northern ireland and into scotland, and then towards the south through tuesday. another cluster of showers again could be on the heavy side. some places may dodge these to see some sunny spells and that continuing through wednesday too. but as we go later on in the week, it is going to be turning colder from the north by. >> we can expect clear skies leading to a light and warm day ahead. lovely boxt solar sponsoi's sponsors of weather on
