it's going to be a muppet show tonight. let's take a look at the front pages, see if we can cram a little bit of news into the format. telegraph open with a deported thief who has used the echr to stay in the uk. that, of course, will come to the attention of the tory leadership race, the daily mail. come clean on what lord alli got for his cash. that's a request rather than their actual ability to do so.thei than their actual ability to do so. the i pm refuses to rule out uk military involvement if israel attacks iran. the metro have our £14 billion hellholes. i don't know where they are though. the daily express united against labour's cruel winter fuel cut. and finally the daily star. yes, it's occurred gavin and stacey are reunited. so those were your front pages . so those were your front pages. so we will start up with the daily

telegraph. lewis, which has most of the day's news on its front page, of course, but in particular we have this echr outrage. >> yes. deported thief refuses echr to stay in the uk. >> yes. deported thief refuses echr to stay in the uk . and this echr to stay in the uk. and this is in the telegraph, which is a very good newspaper. i guess it's about the same as all the others. but this, this is £3.50. so when you pay, you pay three, you so when you pay, you pay three, you pay so when you pay, you pay three, you pay the most for any newspaper. maybe you don't. maybe the financial times, you have to pay more. but here's a quy- have to pay more. but here's a guy. here's a guy he was convicted of something. and then they say burglary, burglary. and thank you for reading that, josh. and then they sent him. they sent him back to albania. albania. okay. and then he got josh and then they. and then they and then he snuck back into britain. and so they found him in britain, and they said, we're deporting him. and he said, no, you can't deport me because i've had a baby with a lithuanian woman who isn't who isn't a citizen. i don't think a lithuanian is not a seesahai. >> he was a right to remain after, i would imagine. >> okay, so she is. and so she, you know, to be fair, the type

is very small, but it does seem like an extraordinary abuse of the intentions of this act or this court, which is obviously really, really rather old and creaking now and seem to be like one of the main reasons for brexit was supposed to be to detach ourselves from this and be able to control our borders more tightly, and yet nobody's laid a glove on it since. do you know what? can i just just stop you there? because this hasn't done anything yet. this has to done anything yet. this has to do with me. because if my wife decided to, like, kick me out, would i be kicked out after having two kids in this country with a british citizen? >> so it all started with you. >> so it all started with you. >> that's a palate cleanser? no. yeah. >> the thing is, the brexit deal that we signed was really based on us staying in the echr or whatever it's called, the echr. echr. yeah . and that was with echr. yeah. and that was with central heating. no, exactly . central heating. no, exactly. but although that's on the decline . but so it is a tricky decline. but so it is a tricky thing getting out of it. although other european countries are also having their issues with it. and the problem issues with it. and the problem is that this is what we've seen is that this is what we've seen is people abuse the system. and

this was exactly this was not intended. this article eight thing, if you want to get all specific, was not intended for this purpose. but of course the lawyers get in there and they've managed. now, we don't want this albanian guy who's a maybe he's had a turnaround, i don't know. but he was here. he came over , but he was here. he came over, he did a burglary. that's not a good thing. and he was sent back thatis good thing. and he was sent back that is good that he was sent back. now he's had a kid who knows. and he was sent back as part of a prisoner transfer agreement with albania. >> i noticed a few days ago, barely a week ago, we were discussing an expensive new jail being built in albania on the british taxpayers account in order to rehouse a lot of albanian prisoners. it's clearly quite a significant sort of subset of prisoners now. i mean, it feels like something really quite fundamentally dysfunctional is going on here. well, we're even paying for their prisoners and they're not even going back. >> what's dysfunctional is, is that people in britain want to have their own country, and they've basically given it up to they've basically given it up to they gave it up with this echr whatever. >> no, we by the way, we started it. i should just say, well, post—world war ii, we're the

ones who created it. yeah, i know, and i would like to say it's also done a lot of good in the world. it's provided us a lot of rights, but we need to recognise we're in a new world. well, this is it. if it's if the system is going to be exploited, we either need to get out of that system to rebuild a different system, or we need to fix the system that's there. >> have you got any views on the millionaires to flee britain at record rate? >> yeah. this is this is an interesting one because this is one of those things that i've sort of changed my mind on a little bit, okay. in that i just remember when now regret voting laboun remember when now regret voting labour. yes. well that that's that amongst many things. but i remember when i used to have like a lot of like rich, proper rich mates, you know, and i remember they were going before blair came in, like we're all leaving the country and they didn't. and that's what i assumed would happen here. but blair was very friendly to that contingent. >> and what's happening enormously relaxed or something, wasn't it? mandelson's comment. yeah, exactly. >> whereas it seems like this is a different the fear of taxes is real. it hasn't really happened yet, but they are leaving or they are saying that now, whether it's a threat, whether

they are going to leave to these other countries, i would say that we have a great if you're rich, i think the uk is a pretty good place to be. you can have a pretty well it has traditionally, but this is the thing. >> if they go with capital gains tax and they're also going to just make it hostile for non—doms , basically they're non—doms, basically they're going to make the place an extraordinarily hostile environment for anyone who is very wealthy and other countries in europe are making themselves a lot more hospitable and they're not just moving to europe. >> that's a good point. it is down. it's down from 4.5% millionaires to 3.5. >> but that's that's what they're saying in this report. >> so it is going all right. you said that. sorry. but the truth is that is that now i watch youtube videos about like living in different countries where you don't have to pay the horrible taxes and you can move your business there, and you don't even have to put up that much money. and the place is becoming not that well, that's the thing. >> yeah . you're right. sorry. >> yeah. you're right. sorry. just 20 years ago that you know, we had a lot of good stuff here. now you can get primark anywhere. yeah. so but they don't you know that's the other thing. there is one quite important story. >> you know quickly with it if you can quickly, you know the

whole haggis chagos islands, chagos islands, whatever you want to call it. >> it seems like it was biden who actually pushed all that to happen and basically said, keir starmer, you want to keep a special relationship, you better sign that deal. that's a very interesting take on what's been happening over the last few years. >> and they've jumped the gun there a bit, considering that biden's gone and there's no guarantee that harris will be in his place. yeah, he probably doesn't remember saying it. we have a quick look at the i josh yeah pm refuses to rule out uk military involvement. >> if israel attacks iran. this is a good thing. you should never rule anything out. i don't think israel's necessarily asked for any involvement at this point, but the fact is israel is fighting a war on seven different fronts behind it is iran. and i believe that that is a fight for peace in the west. so you'd actually quite like to see us go to war with iran. >> is that what you're saying? >> is that what you're saying? >> no, i think that certainly that's not rule it out. i think that's not rule it out. i think that it would be silly, a silly thing to do. he has providing a contradictory message saying we support israel. he recognises, it seems like the danger of iran to the west and its proxies all

over the place. but then at the same time, there's been a withdrawal of these weapons licenses. it's like you can't please everybody. and hopefully he's now going to actually just fixate on one thing. >> and what about the times, louis? we have the number 10 crisis that's bigger than grey then bigger than grey. >> whitehall chiefs warn dysfunctional downing street is male . advisers felt threatened. male. advisers felt threatened. say, say ousted chief of staff's allies. ousted chief of staff is that grey woman and i think they're trying to blame it on masculinity. i've seen as i've said, yes, minister, it's a very masculine place and they're trying to blame it on masculinity. no, it's just it's the battles that take place inside a, a politics government. >> it's politics, of course, it's usually pretty rough, isn't it? morgan mcsweeney is going to be replacing her. it seems that he is considered to be quite a player. i don't know very much about this. this tier of no, no, no, no. i think he's the sort of cummings of the left more than she was to some extent. >> but there does seem to be this reputation of this kind of

laddish culture. yeah. like he dnnks laddish culture. yeah. like he drinks beer and watches football and who. yeah . so. and who. yeah. so. >> so you think that's preferable to sue gray, or do you think sue gray was he. she dnnks you think sue gray was he. she drinks wine. eased out due to misogyny. is that what you're saying? >> i have no idea. come on. >> you're the labour guy. okay, well, you're the one who wanted this. >> well, this is the thing they've had . he's had a bumpy they've had. he's had a bumpy landing. and i think fundamentally, whilst he's played the game well over the last few years in terms of getting labour into power, it seems like sometimes his finger is just not on the pulse. >> fair enough. finally, josh, very quickly stacey and gavin are back . are back. >> do we care? yes. it's occurred. i've never watched an episode, but i know that there's some sort of plot thing. when it finished a few years ago, like did they get married or not? and then they've now just given up. thank you star, you're just giving it away now. i'm not going to watch it at all. >> well, i would watch it and i'm surprised that i actually enjoyed it. i've seen like bits and pieces of it is, is you don't like the guy james corden at all. you know, he's just he gets on my goat. but he is proper funny in this thing. he's a very good actor. >> he was slightly, i don't know,

somehow obsequious in the host role i've always felt but a very good, friendly, great cats. alan bennett loved him. that's the front pages out of the way. join us in part two for the return of manchester two ermine and the humbling of kamala harris.

and welcome back to headliners . and welcome back to headliners. i'm simon evans, still

contractually obliged to be here with lewis schaffer and josh howie. so lewis let's start with tuesdays telegraph and a case that one suspects the authorities were hoping would rust away in the long grass. >> yes, but there's video. this is in the telegraph, which is £3.50 story number five reform plans, private prosecution of men in manchester airport fight with police. you remember that fight where the where there was two guys and they were beating and then this woman got slashed in the face. it was like horrible. it was like actual punching and fighting. and the guy 9°t punching and fighting. and the guy got kicked and they didn't do anything to the. so what happenedis do anything to the. so what happened is they didn't do anything to the to the two brothers. and so nigel farage and the other reform people are saying they want to have a private prosecution against these guys. if the if the government doesn't do anything, if the whatever the cps, whoever these people are , and i don't these people are, and i don't even know what that means, what a private prosecution. we don't have that in america. you have a civil suit, like when they sued oj. >> yeah, they got but it costs a lot of money. and they're basically trying to force the

cps hand and they're trying to draw attention to this case because it is ridiculous that nothing's happened, regardless of the culpability or not, of the police officers involved and what actually happened. the fact is, everybody has seen footage of these men repeatedly beating. i think 11 times i counted one guy punching the male officer, then the other guy, you see him like basically knocking out this woman, this female police officer, and you see her, you know, getting this broken nose. theidea know, getting this broken nose. the idea that there's some sort of there's just no excuse for it. no. >> what is it? >> what is it? >> and they're still continuing to press with the disciplinary action against the police officers involved. >> well, they well, they haven't come to a conclusion yet. and again, they haven't certainly haven't. yeah. no. yeah. >> what is a private prosecution. >> it's basically like the same like a public one. but you, it's private. there you go. great insight. yeah. you just have you have to pay for it. that's what doesit have to pay for it. that's what does it get. >> it'sjust does it get. >> it's just a guy. what is it. what is the guy get like if i they can still. >> no, you can still. no it's not. you're suing. they can

still go to prison and whatnot. it's just the cps. the government pays for it or we pay the sort of thing that the good law project tries to do in order to, to stop the government detaching from europe. but this is a very sort of clever strategy of farage. >> it'll try and just shame them into actually doing something . i into actually doing something. i mean, for a long time people have been showing this picture of the two. the two individuals. what happened? just like endlessly kind of going, still nothing, still nothing, still nothing. i mean, there's been that campaign online. >> absolutely. but it looks like the authorities are scared of antagonising the muslim community. yeah. and it just sort of is evidence seemingly of this two tier policing that supposedly doesn't exist . supposedly doesn't exist. >> can these guys be put in jail? yes. yeah. >> no, it would be an actual prosecution. yeah. >> well i did not know that. >> well i did not know that. >> just the times next and new appointments to the house of lords will have to justify their presence. what next? and enter droit du seigneur. >> well i don't what is that the right of the lord of the manor to have the first dibs on a bride from from the i am

scotland. >> oh, braveheart. >> oh, braveheart. >> braveheart. >> braveheart. >> is that what that is? from that they didn't make it up. it may have been in there. yeah, yeah. all right. that's all. >> that's all. everything i know is all from braveheart. yes. anyway, yes. house of lords appointments will be justified to kerb cronyism. good luck with that. it's one of those things again, that seems somewhat amazing that people can just have these positions, lifetime positions in the house of lords and but sort of seemingly they don't have to be given a reason to do so or shown that they have an expertise. i happen to know a member of the house of lords, baroness fox. she's like, she's on it . she's baroness fox. she's like, she's on it. she's very baroness fox. she's like, she's on it . she's very clever. she's, on it. she's very clever. she's, you know, she's in there, she's up making these arguments. she's doing she's in the hen house. yeah. and she's doing, making these speeches, making, holding these speeches, making, holding the government and the present day, whether labour or tories, to account. >> i mean, i feel it should be like receiving a medal like the vc or something. you have to have a citation. it's explained what you did. you know, this man charged a machine gun nest and tookit charged a machine gun nest and took it out with two grenades and sheer courage, you know, and you have to it has to be explained in some detail what you've done and that you're

going to contribute to that, to that house. and if it's an obe, it's a couple of lines. and if it's a couple of lines. and if it's a couple of lines. and if it's a vc, it's a couple of paragraphs. >> and then what happens? that means somebody else, some government person who's also been appointed by somebody else who's been appointed to this board, decides who goes in there . board, decides who goes in there. the whole thing, the whole system here is completely rotten. if somebody doesn't have a position in the house of lords forever, because the house of parliament, the commons. right, they they can just say the house of lords doesn't exist if they wanted to. so it's just by the grace of the house, there's checks and balances. >> it'sjust checks and balances. >> it's just like the americans give a citation. >> you would at least put that into the newspapers, and then people could say, well, i don't think that is an adequate reason for their elevation. and then it would be then it would be a black mark against them at the very least, wouldn't it? >> but someone has to decide, so it might as well be. >> well, there was this 29 year old young woman who was given given it, who worked supposedly for number 10 for a little bit. there was another young man, 13. >> well, they usually say is they know where the bodies are buried. that's usually the sort of default presumption, isn't it, that they they've they've enabled some cover up of some scandal or other and that that's

their kickback. and then there's their kickback. and then there's the russian owner of the standard of course that. yeah. >> and these you know there's ian botham now ian botham i was a big fan when i grew up. doesn't mean he should be a house on the house of lords arguing what is the constitution of britain . of britain. >> guardian now lewis and the us election will move on to the side of the atlantic. the constitution you're comfortable with, it's addressing the vexed issue of whether a childless woman can ever be truly humble. >> yes. this is i think this is a horrible story, basically because there's a lot of horribleness going on right now. harris, harris, who's the appointed president of the united states, hits back at the republicans remarks about her lack of biological children . and lack of biological children. and so she was kind of insulted by the by sarah huckabee sanders, who once worked for donald trump, who's now the governor of arkansas or something. and so she says she's got kids, and it keeps me humble. what is keeping what are her names ? kamala. what are her names? kamala. kamala harris. humble. >> nothing's keeping you are certainly. yeah. forgetting her name, but whatever.

>> who is she? she's not even the. you know what it is. she is like. she's like, number two in the prisoner. you're a huge prisoner fan, are you not? are you a you're a huge. >> no, no, she is, she's not i mean, i found it slightly odd. they say kamala harris has no biological children. that's odd. for a start, she has no children. you don't need to say biological. she has no children. she married a man who has two basically now grown up children. they're 25 or whatever. and the other one, sarah huckabee sanders, seemed to be saying that she has actual kids. she's about 40. sarah huckabee sanders and she comes home and the place is a mess. and the kids you know, give her lip. i don't think it's necessarily a question of whether you've biologically given birth. it's more a question of, of a certain age. i mean, if kamala harris had had children, they would now be 40 or 30, you know, wouldn't it be like, i mean , it's a kind it be like, i mean, it's a kind of slightly weird. >> well, also the point that she's making, like, humble, i don't know if kids make you humble, they make you tired and they give. there is obviously

stuff that you experience as a parent that you wouldn't necessarily otherwise necessarily. maybe as a step parent you would. that's what kamala's saying. but it seems like that it's sort of backfired and she's this huckabee is saying, no, no, i didn't mean it like that. i was just saying she's not humble and she's admitted she's not humble. >> do you remember this happened with theresa may and angela leadsom? i think her name was the tory one when they were in that tory race for tory leader that tory race for tory leader that angela that theresa may eventually won. angela leadsom made a remark to the effect that theresa may had no children and that that kind of left you as a certain kind of person, which wasn't necessarily it feels like it's just like simmering in the background a lot now in political. >> well, because i'll tell you why. it's simmering, because those are the two teams. one team is family, country and community. family , community and community. family, community and country, whatever it is, which is the reform party, which is that group, which is american, which people chanting usa. the other side is let's kill our children with abortion. and, you know, let's not have children and let's you know, whatever. if we have children, we can have depopulate. yeah. so that's what the do you think she's trying to

suggest that kamala harris is actively in favour of. she was speaking to her home team and her. and remember the other team, the team of all these women who have basically given up their lives to work and to fool around during the weekends or during the week to are not on that team and it's going to hurt their feelings. there's a lot of hurt feelings today. >> okay, josh haven't heard much about the belt and road lately. it's back in the times now for unfortunate reasons. >> yeah. chinese workers killed in backlash against beijing's belt and road. this is in pakistan. and it seems like there's something called the baloch liberation army who want independence for balochistan , independence for balochistan, which is the largest and most poorest and the least populous province in pakistan. okay, so the belt and road people are, you know, china, is it roughly geographically in pakistan? okay, okay. and but no, but the geographically, it is very important because at the moment i read this book , i did it,

i read this book, i did it, i read a whole book and it was i think it was called the power of geography. and the idea is that china is kind of strangled by the chinese. yeah. prisoner of geography. yes. thank you. i couldn't even remember, but they were sort of strangled by geography in that they can't get any raw materials to them unless it goes through the straits of china or chinese sea or whatever it is threading its way through america. yeah. so china has invested billions in this route, which can bypass that . and also which can bypass that. and also it builds kind of soft power across that part of the world as well. yeah. >> it's the old silk route, isn't it? i mean, it was it's well established thousands of years old and so on. this is marco polo and canada. >> but unfortunately, you know, these chinese people are being built up, have been blown up. and there's been various terrorist attacks. and i think that they're going to it's going to be an interesting clash of civilisations here where you have a very, shall we say, terrorist prone pakistan , possibly. >> i will say this, though, and perhaps this is a bit callous, but i don't think china will be remotely discouraged by this kind of level of terrorist

activity they have. i mean, they basically probably write off a certain number of chinese workers per mile of belt and road anyway. and if they suspect. yeah. >> and if they're not being killed by pakistanis of some kind, they're going to kill them themselves. i don't you know, themselves. i don't you know, the truth. the truth is, is that the truth. the truth is, is that the chinese that the that every country is a prisoner of geography. britain is, you know, every country. >> well, that's why you've got a whole book out of america. >> america is not. >> america is not. >> yes it is, lewis, we have just time to do one last story in this section. a huge relief here in the studio, as reeves confirmed she will not be placing any of the burden of the coming budget on the public sector. yeah. >> did she say that? no, she didn't say that, reeves. she didn't say that, reeves. she didn't say that, reeves. she didn't say that. reeves. reeves opts not to raise tax on pension contributions in the october budget because . so she's saying budget because. so she's saying we're not going to because the i guess the public service unions , guess the public service unions, their pensions are so high that they don't want to be taxed even more. and they are taxed people. they, they do pay tax. >> is it too late for me to sign up to become a member of the police force?

>> mr major, you really messed up. yeah, really messed up . up. yeah, really messed up. >> didn't look like so much fun when i was in my 20s. but my goodness, they are raking it in. >> they. >> they. >> they. >> they get £50,000 tax free. >> they get £50,000 tax free. >> i think. time for some messages from our sponsors now where after we will be exploring the new record high in saudi arabia how to work out your statistical odds of

and welcome back to headliners . and welcome back to headliners. let's get straight into tuesday's daily mail. josh, we have the newest members of the un human rights council stretching the credulity somewhat. >> yeah, well, as many of them do, executions in saudi arabia hit record high under mbs. as un prepares to vote the country into the human rights council this week . oh, the un and the this week. oh, the un and the human rights council is doesn't live up to its name, shall we say. it has many countries on it like that for various periods of time that massively torture.

yeah, torture in prison without trial , misogyny, yeah, torture in prison without trial, misogyny, all of this stuff. so it's like saudi arabia arguably would belong right amongst it. i mean , there should amongst it. i mean, there should be a law by now, shouldn't they? >> i mean a law as in the sort of, you know what i mean, like murphy's law kind of law, to say that any organisation created in to order uphold standards will gradually expand in order to try and include people within the community whose standards need to be upheld and will continue to be upheld and will continue to lower its standards in order to lower its standards in order to do so until it becomes utterly meaningless. >> well, all it exists for now is to really whitewash or whatever you want to call it. those those countries who are blue wash, i think blue. yeah, whatever. so he is hoping mbs is the, you know, the leader now in all but name that he's they're going to be voted in because then it'll be like look at us. we're really good. saudi arabia even though these people are being i mean like iran a couple of years ago were like leaders of years ago were like leaders of the year of the woman or something. >> yeah. yeah. like it's kind of ridiculous. it is utterly

ridiculous. it is utterly ridiculous. insulting. yeah. >> i don't think it's ridiculous at all because how are we to judge, especially this country or america, this, this country arrested people for tweeting something three and a half years. >> we haven't executed anyone yet. but. >> but so what do you think? that's a form of execution to put him in prison. is that is that it's the united nations, which is your world, mr leftist world. it's team world. >> i agree with you, america. excuse people. i mean, they they are you know, they're not i'd argue their legal system is more robust though. >> yes. >> yes. >> and also they keep them alive on on death row for decades in order to establish that beyond reasonable doubt that they really did kill people. >> and even then they make mistakes. yes. >> so i don't know exactly what saudi arabia's been executing people for. i know traditionally it can be well , blasphemy and so it can be well, blasphemy and so on.and it can be well, blasphemy and so on. and there's some very unpleasant sort of sexual politics going on in there. but they weren't specific about what these executions may be. they have been more insurrection . have been more insurrection. >> does it matter? does it matter? they're against iran. yeah. you're right, you're right. >> i take it all back . yeah. go >> i take it all back. yeah. go saudi arabia. >> yeah. you got to do it. at

the end of the day. you got to you got to pick your team. and your team may not be . you got your team may not be. you got your team may not be. you got you got a left back. he's your left back. maybe he shoots at the right foot, but he's still your left back. >> i said american football analogy there. yeah. >> lewis. useful information comes to light now in the daily mail to help people work out how likely they are. >> yes, this is in the daily mail. having an older sibling increases the odds of being gay by a fifth major study finds. this is amazing. this. basically i'm gay, so i know all about this thing. a lot of people don't think that i'm gay, but i'm gay. you know, the number one cause of homosexuality is older brothers. my mom. but this is a study that was that was done. and it says that if from the university of melbourne that says if you've got if you've got if you're the if you're younger than somebody else in your family, you're going to have a higher risk, higher risk, not even risk a higher chance of it happening. but the truth is they don't really discuss what is the cause of homosexuality. >> well, they actually have a really interesting i've never heard this particular theory before, which is that if a, you know, a woman has a baby as a

boy, it releases certain chemicals so that those chemicals so that those chemicals will affect the hormones, will affect the next child that's born, releases certain chemicals in her womb, in her womb and in her bloodstream , and then will pass bloodstream, and then will pass on to the next foetus and so on. so the more, the more there are more of these chemicals. that's the idea. maybe it's about trying to. >> so this isn't just testosterone. this is something more. >> no, but this might be what makes people have a boy and then a girl and whatever that like how it affects that. okay. so that that it could well be something to do with that affects then. but it is a male foetus. whatever. >> it's very interesting. here's a more here's a more reasonable explanation. what happened is the first child gets all the mother's attention. she loses the affection of the father, the father loses the affection for the mother. she turns the affection on the second child, and the second child has suffers from too much mother syndrome. >> this is what you had. you feel the mother. >> this is what i had. i was a second. because that was what liberace sued the newspaper columnist for, saying that he

was he didn't actually use the word homosexual or gay or whatever. >> he just said, mother love, mother love. that was supposed to be a euphemism for being gay. and liberace successfully sued him. >> did i just say that? >> did i just say that? >> now? you said mother love. yeah. and you have something of the liberace about it. >> now that i had, i had a lot of fake hair. my mother said my mother once sent me a to 17 or 18 valentine's day cards. >> 17 or 18? seven. >> 17 or 18? seven. >> i think they were. i think it was 17. excessive. i think that's a bit excessive . that's a bit excessive. >> evil old man. now in the mirror. josh destroying a jewish memorial. this will upset you, i expect, for the obvious reason, but i am also concerned that he is 58. >> is he 58? >> is he 58? >> yes. he's been arrested and he has been arrested. oh, wow. online. he's been arrested. and they called him an old man. >> well, he looks old in this footage. i think we have. i think we actually have the footage. it's pretty incredible. this is in brighton. they. >> it's less than less than a mile from where i live. yeah. >> palmeira square. yeah. so. so this was this memorial was put up this was this memorial was put ”p by this was this memorial was put up by some people who have family. his cousin, i believe is one of the hostages now, about

100 male hostages left. and this guy here, you can see. i mean, the thing is, it's not just like he's really getting into it. i mean, this is, like, really mad, isn't he? he just like. it's like he's just utterly disgusted by the fact that there are these jews. and the nice bit about the, the only positive is that this guy, you can see they're stepping in to stop him and challenge him going, what? but you've seen we've seen this over the last year. obviously today is the anniversary, but you've seen people ripping up these posters of babies going, oh, and you're like, this is a baby, like in a tunnel somewhere, and you're destroying it. so yeah , you're destroying it. so yeah, i'm really glad that they found this guy. i don't know if he's like a left wing crank or a nazi or a islamist or whatever he is, but he is obviously a wrong'un. i'm glad they've captured. i hope they sent him to jail for the one week he'll get, if that . the one week he'll get, if that. >> he's been sent to jail already. >> no, no, i hope he does. >> he has been arrested in the last 24 hours, but he's good. it is good that he's been arrested and that they've they've acted on the i mean, just i have no idea why he might have been

doing that. he didn't look like he was particularly allied to the opposite cause. did he just look like a mad old crank? he looked like the harry enfield character. well, they're very left wing jacket. >> they're very left wing down there. and that's that's the other side of it. but on the other side of it. but on the other hand, he is 58 years old and he probably has a very high carb diet. you could see he was a bit he was a bit. you could see the way he was walking. he suffered from type 2 diabetes. he probably had gout. his feet were hurting him and he was having a bad day. >> and i would just like to hear him see him described as an evil man in his prime of life. louis a story about education standards slipping in the telegraph. but i'm afraid i didn't read this through to the end.so didn't read this through to the end. so yeah, i'm glad you didn't, because it was unnecessary. >> it's a joke, louis. oh, sorry. i'm sorry. it's a joke because i'm like. it's been a horrible show. you've been like. so on my case, josh, the entire time, i have not. >> don't blame me for your inadequacies. >> important story. let's let's just have a look at the story . just have a look at the story. state school. >> this is the telegraph, £3.50 state school pupils struggle to read long books, oxford professor claims. he said that's why they're having problems at oxford and the elite universities guy jonathan bate.

the truth is, is that no one's reading long books. people didn't read long books 150 years ago. they were basically invented 200 years ago. what was the first long book was one of the first long book was one of the jane austen books. they weren't even long books. they were. maybe they couldn't even read 150 years ago. so what do people complaining? this is such a non news story. first of all, the lower classes should not go to school. >> what do you think josh? i have to say my kids have both got my daughter got a good grade at a level of english and my son is halfway through his english a—level now. neither of them are expected. they are at a good school . neither of them are school. neither of them are expected to read the whole book. they just read passages. now, i found this a bit disturbing. i thought they were lying to try and avoid homework, but i've had it confirmed. it seems to have gone.the it confirmed. it seems to have gone. the whole idea that you read a book from beginning to end is gone. >> just that i just watched the film. that's the way to do it. but no, it is a problem. i don't necessarily agree with his analysis of why it's necessary, and he seems to think that it's and he seems to think that it's a there's a class system here, private schools and whatnot. i think there's obviously the

obvious things would be things like the phone and that lack of attention. i mean, it drives me absolutely batty that my kids don't read because i grew up. and it was it was part of my life. >> you read through books. now i find it difficult. no, i read a book and i get twitchy after a little while or even feel sleepy. i also, i think he is deluded. he says he used to find they struggle now to finish one book in three weeks. there was a time they could read three books in one week. you could say to them, we're doing dickens this week. please read great expectations. david copperfield and bleak house in a week. no, nobody can do that . do that. >> not not because they've got other things. they have other things to do. >> but you've got to go with nothing else. they go out. >> they go out to drink. they didn't have anything to do. they were in some place in the middle of the countryside. they had no cars. they were stuck there. >> daily mail now continuing our theme of kids of today, josh, not only they can't read, they can't lay pipe either or they just don't want to. >> is that a euphemism for going to the toilet? >> possibly, i don't know. >> possibly, i don't know. >> yeah, we'll have to ask the kid. gen z job applicants now. so lazy they're getting their to parents contact employers to try and get them. don't touch my

hand, please. >> well, your hand is in my section. >> no, the line is there. just don't. >> and it was right here. >> and it was right here. >> you're so soft. your hand. is that the meat? is that anyway? yeah. trying to contact employers and get them to look. basically a plumbing boss has said that and it is pretty insane, is that parents are now contacting him and saying, would you give my child a job? and that seems to be the way of the world. i got hired by a parent to write their child's ucas form. wow. >> yeah, you are the new chatgpt. >> yeah, yeah. well, now that is the thing that's going to replace it. >> but i've had i've had a chat with a dad next door recently and a mutual friend of ours whose son is a bit older, and he was saying he is like still writing his job applications. we had this exact conversation. i think maybe you've been listening to lbc, but it's, you know, the son is nearly 30 and he's. yeah, yeah. and it just so happens he's, he's still live at home. i don't think he lives at home. i don't think he lives at home. i don't think he lives at home. i think he sort of drops in and gets his dad to help him. you know what the problem is? >> printer ink is so expensive. >> printer ink is so expensive. >> well, but it is confidence as well, isn't it? you do have to

fail a few times, and it is difficult, especially if you've managed to protect your children for too long. you kind of go. at some point i'm going to have to kick you off this branch and you're just going to fall in a heap on the floor. >> yeah, you've hit the nail. they've hit one nail in the head, which is, is you know, a lot of coddling of the kids. the other thing is, is that boys today and this is what you this is the main discussion of this channel have been taught. they're no good. they're no good. so why would they want to apply good. so why would they want to apply for a job? what? what do they think? they're going to get a job and you watch the ads on the tv. everything is saying boys are you know, boys are good at plumbing, though they must know that boys are good at plumbing. >> i mean, that's once we lose that, it's all gone. >> you want to know something? they are. they're better at. >> i was going to be a plumber. this is a true story. a couple of years ago, i was looking into it. >> you should have done. of joining the police, i

of joining the polito. i of joining the polito headliners, so welcome back to headliners, and we kick off this section with a rather bizarre animal welfare story that has elements of a feline lazarus somewhat undermined by the vet's name, in my view. >> i noticed that two vet who took home happy cat the cat was happy, quote unquote happy that she was told to euthanize, which happy, quote unquote happy that she was told to euthanize, which means put to death, which is means put to death, which is what the tories want, which is what the tories want, which is what the tories want, which is what everybody wants to do now. what the tories want, which is what everybody wants to do now. while grieving owner thought it while grieving owner thought it was dead, is found guilty of was dead, is found guilty of disgraced conduct. that's the disgraced conduct. that's the headuneis disgraced conduct. that's the headline is bad, but it's the headuneis disgraced conduct. that's the headline is bad, but it's the daily. it's the daily mail. daily. it's the daily mail. well, this nurse doctor parody well, this nurse doctor parody your name is parody. and she was your name is parody. and she was supposed to put in a cat to supposed to put in a cat to death because the owner got death because the owner got bored of it. even though the bored of it. even though the owner said, oh yeah, it's a skin owner said, oh yeah, it's a skin condition. condition. >> had a skin condition. >> had a skin condition. >> had a skin condition. >> well, the owner, the owner >> had a skin condition. >> well, the owner, the owner says regularly rescues cats says regularly rescues cats herself. >> yeah, i'd say i think it's herself. >> yeah, i'd say i think it's her. >> so what? what the point i was her. >> so what? what the point i was getting at. yeah. thank you . getting at. yeah. thank you . getting at. yeah. thank you. >> well, what's the point? getting at. yeah. thank you. >> well, what's the point? >> well, what's the point? >> he was interrupting me, so. >> well, what's the point? >> he was interrupting me, so.

showers drifting northwards, some very heavy downpours at the moment for south wales and southwest england. we do have a met office yellow warning in place. those downpours head across the south—east. they'll be easing a little but still turning up some heavy showers over east anglia, the midlands, nonh over east anglia, the midlands, north wales and northern ireland by the end of the night. clearer skies in southern scotland northern england will allow temperatures to dip to single figures, but for most a pretty mild night actually. and then tomorrow it's a case of watching more heavy showers with some brighter spells in between. may well be a fine start across east anglia. much of the south—east, but showers will quickly start to spread back in here. grey start for northern ireland some outbreaks of rain pushing north and that will spread into parts of scotland during the day, but through the central belt. probably a dry start. notice the northerly winds across northern scotland. it's been dull and damp here today. it won't be quite as wet tomorrow, but staying pretty grey and feeling cold with those winds. whereas in the south the winds are coming up from the south,

bringing mild air but also bringing mild air but also bringing heavy showers. again, potential for some thundery downpours, some sunny spells in between, but staying pretty drab across southeast scotland and north—east england. feeling cool here as well with the winds coming in from the sea, but in the south with a bit of sunshine we could again get 18 or 19 wednesday. again we'll be dodging the downpours, particularly over central and eastern england and this zone of wetter weather over southeast scotland and northeast england. a drier day, maybe for wales and south—west england , a little bit south—west england, a little bit brighter as well, with some sunny spells . but again, with sunny spells. but again, with that wind coming down from the north, temperatures are going to struggle, going to turn colder for all of us by the end of the week . week. >> expect a warm front moving from the kitchen right through to the rest of the house. boxt sponsoi's sponsors of weather on gb
