2:06 am
national divorce? what do you think, leo? >> i love how the guardian phrase it. they say so. it's poised between the historic candidacy. candidacy of a black woman and a former president, branded a fascist by his own former officials. i mean, the way they say it, like the fact that she's a black woman, her own things, that she was just born as. well, she was actually born as. well, she was actually born indian. i believe she identified as for a while. but then it became then it became expedient to be black. but it's not the important point, is it? yeah. it's like, what are our policies? what's our vision for america? and that's what we haven't seen at all. and trump, i mean to say, trump's a fascist, been branded a fascist by his own officials, his own officials who he fired and who hate him and want to sell books. >> i'm actually surprised that the guardian went with such a nice picture of trump. they could have easily picked a horrible one. yeah, they look like some sort of villain with sort of up lit. >> and the one of kamala is not very nice. >> they both look like they're staring at the same moth. that's just. yes. >> that's right. in the middle of the page. somewhere like that. >> who do you think is going to win, josh? >> i think trump's got it. >> i think trump's got it. >> see, i think harris has got
2:07 am
it. >> well, let's start a fight. >> well, let's start a fight. >> well, let's start a fight. >> we don't need to start a fight. why don't we have a bet? that would be more civilised. >> okay. what do you. what do you bet? >> tenner? >> tenner? >> what? >> what? >> i think get out of my price range. all right. yeah, fine. tenner, tenner. there we go. yeah, there we go. >> i'll be blowing your salaries, boys.i >> i'll be blowing your salaries, boys. i think the abortion issue is going to be pivotal. is that going to be. the thing is, women get out and actually vote. men have a lot of strong feelings, but they tend to be like, nah, i'll just, you know, play xbox or whatever. >> instead, they might end up sort of afterwards having this big post—mortem saying, you know, had that comedian not told the joke about the puerto ricans, maybe it would have gone the other way or no. had they not had joe biden not called half the electorate garbage? >> well, maybe they did a poll in florida that showed that only 8% of the puerto rican population in the poll were voting for trump in like, 84% or something, were voting for kamala because of the joke, which a whole bunch of things. i mean, i think it's more it goes back more than the joke, but it shows why the democrats bring in so many immigrants because they vote democrat. it's a way of rigging the election. >> yeah, but then it changes later on. >> no it doesn't.
2:08 am
>> no it doesn't. >> no it does. no it does. i mean, what i'm saying is that i guess it did. >> it did in the uk when labour brought in lots of muslims who then turned against labour because labour decided. >> well, interestingly, trump appealed to the muslim vote in michigan, which is one of the big swing states. i think they'll be disappointed. >> okay, well, let's have a look at the next front cover. this is the telegraph. what are they leading with? >> yes, they've got a lovely picture there of daltrey. roger daltrey from the who. and one of the best ones from the who. i couldn't name anyone. he says, well, there's pete, what's his face? who? townshend. we don't. pete townshend, who we don't talk about anymore. >> oh, i think i know the one you mean. you mean. >> you mean. >> yeah, but he says that rachel reeves budget risks killing charities, so that's a bit of good news. but the main story here is our very own nigel farage, who's told trump do not fight poll result. because obviously last time there was a lot of you know, there's a lot it looked like there was some shenanigans. you know joe biden got that sudden leap up. you know, all of it. >> like trump let it go a sudden leap, let it go . leap, let it go. >> come on, man, these 50
2:09 am
million votes we found down the back of the couch that like, negates everything else that you say when you try and portray this as like everything has been proved that that it was a legit rejection. let let me explain. i mean, there's various ways that the democrats try to try to rig the democrats try to try to rig the electoral framework for them. they're already talking about, you know, doing away with the filibuster and stuffing the supreme court. but, i mean, as well as bringing immigrants into swing states, what they also do, what they also do is the whole of the apparatus that sort of administrates and counts the votes. they're mainly democrats. they're aligned with the democrats. >> but there's no evidence. in the last election that those that all these people that are augned that all these people that are aligned with the democrats. >> what about stochastic terrorism? okay. >> you're just bringing in lots of other points here. the election was proved to have been won by the democrats. >> stochastic cheating. >> stochastic cheating. >> let's try and route this down to something. i mean, we can still agree, can we not, leo, that it was irresponsible for trump to go out there and sort of say, i won? and he said this halfway through the night, you know, like hillary. ridiculous. >> like hillary did when she
2:10 am
lost. i mean, yeah, but she admitted she lost, lost. i mean, yeah, but she admitted she lost , except she admitted she lost, except she admitted she lost, except she admitted she lost, except she admitted she lost. >> she didn't do her speech. she didn't do straight away. she admitted she lost. yeah. he is still he still says he won. he still he still says he won. he still says he won. he was stuck in her. >> she was getting drunk in her hotel. >> yeah, yeah, but the point is, trump is still saying that he won that election. >> he is still saying that. yeah, absolutely. well, we could write about that all day. but what about this point about trump is actually a farage is being pragmatic here. in other words, like i say, the temperature is pretty high. it's going to be pretty intense. i think it wouldn't be good if he went out. if he loses. for him to go out and say, actually, i won this bad idea, at this point, i would have thought, well, you know what's made the temperature high? >> i think the fact that donald trump is either going to be jailed or killed if he loses has made the temperature quite high. so maybe the democrats shouldn't have done that if they wanted to defuse it. >> he actually says try and kill him. >> well, oh come on, there's been three assassination attempts. >> it's not the democrats that's stochastic terrorism. >> that's the phrase this guy. well, they came up with it. i know this guy is literally hitler. this guy's a fascist, which is obviously not. why wasn't he a fascist? insanely. >> farage says that if kamala
2:11 am
wins, that she should pardon him. which would be. which is an interesting idea. >> well, isn't trump going to pardon hunter if he wins? >> they should all just pardon each other about this. >> who can pardon the most? i think that's the way it should be. >> pardon michael jackson. okay. >> pardon michael jackson. okay. >> yeah. but since we've condemned him tonight with no evidence, let's move on now to the male. josh, what's on the male? >> yes. now, that's what you call a u—turn. and this is labour have announced today that they're going to be increasing university tuition fees in line with inflation, which is basically about another £800 over the course of a degree. >> i can't believe it's 9500 how. >> now. >> that's what it is. yeah. and it's i didn't pay anything. well this is yeah. that's a that's a separate argument whether they're saying that's what we call a u—turn. well no , it's not call a u—turn. well no, it's not a u—turn because he said already in the in during the election process. no, we have to focus that money on the nhs. yeah. so they put that in the last page of their article. u—turn. yeah. he. yeah. u—turn. but the idea that they've announced this and gone. oh look at him now he said in 2020. well he already said
2:12 am
months ago that he was this is that he was going to be charging more money. >> so it's the u—turn phraseology that you object to. >> yes, exactly. >> yes, exactly. >> but you made you object to the raisi. >> he made a u—turn. >> he made a u—turn. >> no, i don't object to the rise in it because, frankly, we need it. one thing that's happening is we're talking about cutting down foreign students coming to this country. and universities here rely 40% of those tuition fees come from foreign students. there must be other ways to find the money. >> i mean, students are the notably quite poor, aren't they? >> no, they're not at all. and i think it's ridiculous for the government to be subsidising any form of higher education. well, unless it's something that's actually valuable, like nursing or, you know, what about english literature, leo? definitely not engush literature, leo? definitely not english literature. >> outrageous. when the government subsidises higher education, what you're doing is you're taxing bus drivers and cleaners to pay for some posh wazzock to go and learn about, you know, vegan poetry or what's wrong with vegan poetry. >> it's, you know, i'm sorry, i know that's your degree, but i think they should let specifically vegan. they should let the market set rates. why is the government getting involved if there's some sort of voluntary agreement between two? if you don't let the market set
2:13 am
rates, then what that means is somebody who really wants to go won't be able to go, because somebody who doesn't really want to go but can afford it at this price, is going to take their place. >> well, i think university should be free for everyone, including vegan poets. no, especially vegan poets. that's communism. it's not communism. it's education is the value of education. >> leo, if you make things for free everybody, that is communism. >> just because you don't read it doesn't. it's not all about you. some people like books. >> can i we make all food free? we make all housing free. where does that in all of a sudden? we're in north korea. >> we have a new shadow education secretary who was appointed by badenoch. and she's come in. and the first thing she's basically said is students haven't had a chance to prepare for this rise, which is a ridiculous point to make, because this is a loan that gets paid back years later. >> if you prepare well, this is the idea. >> i mean, to pick up on that is like this is a very i know that's not a good should all be free vegan poetry. >> look where it got me. can't can't complain . all right, the can't complain. all right, the times now this is tuesday's times. they've got what? leo,
2:14 am
you've got the front cover. >> so they have they have that tuition. tuition fee rise as well. and they also have parcel fires. are a russian rehearsal for an attack on a transatlantic jet. so this is a pair of incendiary devices that started fires in british and german warehouses. there are suspicions. four people have been arrested. and there are suspicions that these they were disguised as electric massage machines from lithuania. but they were using a magnesium, magnesium based substance to burn that would burn a hole in a in a jet. because you can't put out a magnesium fire, it burns without oxygen. >> so okay, steve allen, over there. >> i knew that. yeah. there you could learn a lot in that vegan poetry degree. so they think it's russian. it's russian. covert operatives doing a dry run. and the good news about russian covert operations is they're usually quite overt. they're not very good at keeping secrets. >> they're not the mossad, are they ? they're not good. they? they're not good. >> what do you make of this story, josh? >> yeah. i mean, the question is, why are they doing it to. to what end? is this just a threat? is this this is all in poland.
2:15 am
it's all. i don't know the story that affects us more, though, is the pitchforks out angry farmers more militant action on tax. this is possible. tractors on the m1 and protests over the inheritance tax for being applied. now to farmers. yes. and also the increase that it's going to have to our food costs, because 70% of our food that does that mean all of our food costs are going and they can't really shut things down if they all mobilise at the same time? >> yeah, it happened before. >> yeah, it happened before. >> what a win for labour. so are foods going to cost loads of money and farmers are going to go out of business. whoa! well done. socialism. that's great. also just on the russian story. so north korean troops have engaged ukrainian troops for the for the. this is the first time asian and european troops have fought since the time of the mongols. is that right? yeah. >> okay. well, a story about them coming up among. >> no we don't. and why is there a picture of prince prince william wrestling a child? >> he's going into ufc, but he started in the child division because he identifies as younger. >> i think it's a bit unfair , >> i think it's a bit unfair, like him playing like that. i
2:16 am
mean, i just yeah, he's obviously he's going to win that way. that's what i'm saying. so they should have what they really should have got was get the adult players on and do a proper, you know, proper. there's also a story there to how protect your back in midlife. and it looks like by having relations with a woman doing yoga. >> yeah. well that sounds that sounds like the right way to go about it. what about the star? this strange picture of starmer as a. >> well, this is a similar story. yeah. return of the clowns. basically, the new government is just as tin eared as the last one. and that's it. >> basically an excuse to dress him up as a clown, but it suits him. >> and that'll help him out in five years time when he gets his new job. >> yeah. i mean, what do you make of that, leo? any searing commentary on the clown story? >> no, but i'd like to see. they should have a chalk ice. you know, they had a lettuce for liz truss. they should have a chalk ice or a lollipop stick and a dog turd or something. and see if it lasts longer than keir starmer. because. >> because the choc ice will melt. is that your point? >> it'll melt. yeah. yes. and the lollipop stick and the dog turd will eventually fall over. >> okay, there we go. well,
2:17 am
interesting metaphors there. he should have done the poetry. that's the front pages licked. join us in a second to find out the latest weapon against the boats. what hole is lamy digging himself out of? and is trump a fascist? see you in a couple of minutes .
2:18 am
2:19 am
2:20 am
welcome back to headliners. it's your first look at tuesday's newspapers. i'm andrew doyle, and tonight i've got josh and leo with me. we've got checking some of the tweets coming in. we've got one from mike. you're not allowed to bet on elections as media broadcasters. >> oh, in that case, i would like to take it back. we were joking. and unless i win. >> yeah, i could do with the money, to be honest. >> yeah. £10 is. yeah. yeah, that would be nice . redundancy pay- >> even if we get fired, we could still use the money. all right, well, let's move on. guardian leo, who is badenoch
2:21 am
placing on her chess board? >> yeah. so this is new tory leader kemi badenoch, who's appointed mel stride priti patel and robert jenrick to her shadow cabinet. so these are all mps who stood against her in the leadership race. so, i mean, i guess that's saying keep your friends close and your enemies closer. >> oh , she's just a good winner. >> oh, she's just a good winner. you know, she's just yeah, she's magnanimous, you know, lots of good sports and politics, especially kemi. >> so they're going to be the shadow chancellor, foreign secretary and justice secretary. >> but that's not what jenrick wanted is it. >> well it's not what he wanted but i think he'll be i think he wanted to be the chancellor. did he. >> he wanted to be prime minister but i think. >> yeah, but people are saying there's some tension now between them because, you know she didn't get what he wanted. >> sexual tension. >> sexual tension. >> right. >> right. >> i mean, obviously yeah, i think he'll be good as justice minister. he's got that, you know, that. that's his background jeremy kyle type, you know. and yes, his background also he's a conviction politician. so you know, somebody like that is good in a role like this. and also he's going to have influence over
2:22 am
immigration, particularly illegal immigration because it's illegal. so it's a crime. so you know he's going to have influence over that. yeah. >> it's actually it's a regular leo, you know. what's that. it's a regular. it's not illegal anymore. >> it's a regular trying to change the you know, they're trying to like they always try. and if there's something they want to happen that's illegal, they try and like. like they're trying to do with. they're like, oh, they're minor attracted people now. it's ridiculous. >> the guardian doesn't say that. the guardian doesn't try and big them. >> you know guardian readers okay. >> oh look. yeah, i've just got to clarify because i'm dead against the guardian. i can't stand it. but we have to be fair, okay? the things they do and don't say no. >> yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. no, no, i agree with you. yeah. mel stride. >> what do you make of that? >> what do you make of that? >> yeah. i mean, the whole thing. and some people would argue that what's afflicted the conservatives over the last however many years has just been this constant squabbling. that's that was probably the thing that marked their entire 14 years. >> so she's right to bring in these former foes. >> yeah. but then that's what they always try and do is they always try and do that and they 90, always try and do that and they go, now we're going to fix it. and now we're all going to get on. but i would argue that
2:23 am
they're all more closely ideologically aligned than maybe in previous. >> that's true. yes. and they do iterations. well, that's kenny's big thing , isn't it? now she's big thing, isn't it? now she's going to have to unify the. >> there wasn't that much that separated generic and badenoch, but i think they both understood some of the serious issues. i guess the big question was about how they thought they should do it, and i think she was a bit more cautious about committing to leaving the hcr. >> yes, but you both agree on the end goal, which is to cut down illegal migration. so do you think, i mean, given that for the first time, the last poll, the bmg poll, had labour below the tories for the first time since they won? i mean, that's suggestive that, you know, kemi badenoch could be the next prime minister. >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, the way this labour party are going, they're going to just, you know, they're going to just, you know, they're going to wipe themselves out of existence similarly to what the tories did at the last election. but i think, i think reform could really take some ground there at 17%. >> i think you say that then, but if they're if tories are strong, that's arguably where they're going to take them. >> yeah. but i think reform are going to take a lot of votes
2:24 am
from labour. >> oh well okay. but we're going to go on to the times now. josh, this will definitely, definitely solve the migrant crisis. >> yeah fine. i don't know why they didn't think of this before. >> this is a great idea. >> this is a great idea. >> drones. drones to be deployed in fresh efforts to deter channel migrants. so what they're going to do is they're going to put these drones up in the sky, and then the illegal or irregular migrants, depending on which newspaper you read, are going to see these drones and think , no, they're quite scary. think, no, they're quite scary. you know , they've got modern you know, they've got modern tech. the uk has been invaded by terminators who are now run it. if we go over there, the machines i or possibly i mean actually the look i mean in this article it's talking about how basically he wants the drones to monitor the activity. >> it doesn't really say anything about it, doesn't say stop them, stop them. it'd just be like, oh, look, look over there. >> we could get nice aerial shots of all those boats coming oven shots of all those boats coming over. yeah. >> well, this actually do anything. >> no, i mean , we've seen >> no, i mean, we've seen whatever services the uk puts out in the channel, it's all to help the migrants get here. you know the coastguard. give them a lift. you know, the royal navy
2:25 am
rescue them. it's all to help them. so these drones are just going to facilitate the transportation of illegal migrants from france to the uk. >> is it that they're just taking pictures? you know, like you go on a roller coaster and you go on a roller coaster and you get a photo and this is their moment when they arrived in the uk. they'll just flog them afterwards. >> i mean, unless they've got some of those ukrainian drones, what do they do? well they blow things up. oh yeah. >> so yeah, they're pretty scary. >> so this ties into the speech that starmer gave today to interpol. we mentioned it yesterday because they released the speech ahead of time. he's committing a lot of resources, which we already knew about. but we're four months into their this government, if they're now four months in going, we're going to commit 150 million. well you're not doing it quick enough.the well you're not doing it quick enough. the numbers are up on the previous year. yeah . it's the previous year. yeah. it's and this stuff it's long term. yeah. >> but what is the solution josh. >> well i don't know but i don't think it's drones. it's not drones. >> no. it feels a bit desperate. they're just trying anything. >> well, some people would say the deterrent would be the deterrent is the thing that that's what some people would say. >> the idea that if you go and some people say you get sent off
2:26 am
somewhere. >> yeah, of course, what we do is we reward people. we've got a big carrot dangling. you get, you know, a free hotel, you get all this stuff. nice stuff. you get to stay forever because of our stupid asylum. >> well, also, he's starmer says here there's nothing in the speech, there's nothing progressive about turning a blind eye as men, women and children die in the channel. that's true . 60 people died. that's true. 60 people died. it's a tragedy. but there's also nothing progressive or what is progressive, i should say sorry, is to call anybody racist who wants to actually talk about this issue. yeah. which is what? of course, the left have done. >> well, we're all including myself, including you. josh. >> thank you . >> thank you. >> thank you. >> terrible things you used to call outrageous . we're going to call outrageous. we're going to move on now to the telegraph. who is changing his tune. >> so david lammy is changing his tune. he's ruled out the transfer of cash to countries demanding slavery reparations. what is that? >> because he realised it's a really bad idea. >> no, he's realised that he pays tax and also he's in the government. that would have to have to hand over that, that money. yeah. i think if the tories were in power he'd still be saying, no, you've got to give all this money, which is up to 19 trillion, by the way, it's not feasible. we've got that.
2:27 am
>> have we got that. >> have we got that. >> we don't have that. >> we don't have that. >> we don't have that. >> we just need to give less money to pensioners. >> yeah. can we do that quantitative easing thing? shut down the nhs money and send that off. >> it worked great in zimbabwe. there we go. so which is probably one of the countries asking for money now right. so he's saying instead well the prime minister has said instead they're looking at non—cash opfions they're looking at non—cash options such as debt relief, which is the same thing. >> what about vouchers? vouchers for debt relief? >> if you're saying you don't need to pay me back that money, that's the same as giving the person the money. so they haven't. >> no, no, no no i think bath salts. no. just send some nice gifts w h smith vouchers. >> yeah. they're good. no one ever spent put like give him a book token. yeah. and then you always forget about it. so they'll give him a book token for that zillion and then they'll never cash it in. >> we still haven't worked out how you work out who gets money from whom, because everyone has enslaved everyone. at some point. if you go back far enough, i haven't. yeah, well, you don't know what your ancestors were like when they crawled out of the primordial swamp. you don't know what they did. >> you don't know that they crawled out. they might still be in there. >> yeah, well, i wouldn't like
2:28 am
to judge, but, you know. >> sorry. he did say that he before he was very hot on reparations. and he's not saying that he doesn't disagree with the notion of it , the idea of the notion of it, the idea of it. he's basically saying we don't have the money for it. so i would rather hear someone say, you know what? we actually paid billions over hundreds of years to and we paid off the debt that took like, what was 150 years to pay took like, what was 150 years to pay off that debt. >> i'd say ending the slave trade is that would be quite. >> and we invented those steam engines you're using. so how about a bit of, you know, money coming this way? >> all right, well, look, we're halfway through, but make sure you don't go anywhere because we're going to be discovering labour's latest acronym. what is conscious voting and how do americans dress to vote? find out in a couple of minutes

straight back into it with tuesday's express now leo. and now i've heard of the lgb. what's the tk plus stuff. >> so this is sir keir starmer's government . and they've they've government. and they've they've listened to the nation and they know what's concerning everybody. and they've changed the lgbt acronym that they're using . so instead of lgb or lgbt using. so instead of lgb or lgbt it's now going to have lgbt plus across all departments. they've all got the memo . this all got the memo. this government minister has said the government minister has said the government uses the term lgbt+ to reflect the breadth and diversity of the community, as well as the preferences of most lgbt+ people, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. and basically the plus means, you know, non—binary people , know, non—binary people, asexuals, people who like to dress up as an alsatian, people who like to fire greased potatoes at their ears. you know, it's just it's straight. >> people straight are seeking attention. yeah , basically. attention. yeah, basically. well, i'm glad that they're getting a look. so should what they should do then is have lgb and then just s plus. >> yes everything that's that
2:33 am
should just be just s plus. yeah. yeah. >> why do they spend so much time on this. >> well also how much money is it going to cost that plus adding that plus to every single official document. quite a lot official document. quite a lot of ink. and there's a lot of ink, a lot of website space that's going to be that's a lot of someone that's just going to be one person's job for the next five years. just adding pluses. >> who's idea do you think it was? i mean, does this come from the civil service or does this come from labour themselves? maybe dawn butler you know, i mean, who's into all of this sort of stuff? >> i think everybody in the labour party is into this. remember, about 50 years ago when the labour party were actually into materially improving the lives of poor people , instead of adding pluses people, instead of adding pluses to acronyms for posh people, but maybe this has come from the trade unions. >> i mean, you don't know, maybe, maybe, maybe they're just really. >> no, it's definitely it's a handful of activists somewhere have been pushing for this and now they're super duper happy that that plus is there. >> the labour party are a handful of activists. i like that description. >> but then dawn butler did appear on tv saying that babies are not born with a biological sex. so, you know, and she knows what she's talking about. >> no, she does not. >> no, she does not. >> i mean, was she born with
2:34 am
brain? >> not necessarily, but that doesn't matter. you shouldn't discriminate. no. all right. let's move on now to the mail. and, josh, why are the brit awards voters so racist? >> well, this is brit awards. asked voters to take conscious voting lessons to stop them voting lessons to stop them voting for a white heterosexual artist over minority musicians. this is a couple of years ago. we announced on this show that they were getting rid of male and female categories, and just doing one category because men and women don't exist. yes. and then what happened last year was a bunch of men got nominated and no women. so everybody got very upset about it. so rather than just kind of go, you know what, there's different kinds of artists out there. and men and women are different. and that's just widen the categories here. what they've actually what they're going to do is say you're wrong. voters. you need to vote wide. and that's why there was this bigotry here. >> didn't this come about because sam smith didn't want to be. he said he's not male or female. so he he wanted a third category so he could win. >> he, he he exactly is the is the is the word there.
2:35 am
>> that's where it came from though, right? >> yeah. and then the first year they had the sort of all inclusive category only i think only men were nominated. >> yes. so the first year not but the second year, last year was the second year. yeah. >> so they're basically saying that because of the way that the awards have historically been awarded, that there must be some sort of unconscious bias, that people should be voting more. >> you know? no, just that year, women were terrible at music. go back, go back to any day in that yeah back, go back to any day in that year. try and remember a woman singing something. it was terrible. but what's interesting is they've literally singled out white heterosexual artists to say like, don't vote for them. imagine if they did that to any other group. it would be a hate crime. it should be a hate crime. it should be a hate crime. they should all be put in the gulag. >> does that mean that they literally are not allowed this year to vote for white? >> oh you're allowed, but if you do, your life is going to be destroyed. you'll be racist. >> yeah, people like harry styles. he's white. that's why he's wearing a sarong. is he heterosexual? he is a heterosexual. right? yeah. >> you can't vote for him. has he got a song out ? he got a song out? >> he's always got a song out, doesn't he? so you're allowed to
2:36 am
vote for stormzy? yes. so that's good. okay. george ezra, he only sounds black. he's not actually black. he's not actually black. so you can't vote for him, i'm afraid. i mean , otherwise you're afraid. i mean, otherwise you're afraid. i mean, otherwise you're a big racist. >> why don't we just, you know, vote on the basis of merit? no, no, no , i mean, boo boo boo no, no, i mean, boo boo boo steel mill. >> yeah, yeah, yeah, i mean, old fashioned , i suppose. fashioned, i suppose. >> is the bbc admitting defeat in the telegraph? >> leo, it is a bit. so the bbc risks becoming a thing of the past, suggests new chairman of broadcaster who presumably hasn't been out of a cave in the last couple of decades. the bbc is already a thing of the past. this is doctor samir shah, who hails the very british success story of public service broadcasting, but warns the fight is on in the streaming era. he says no other country has anything like the bbc. i mean, i'd argue north korea has got a pretty, pretty feasible state broadcaster, state propaganda broadcaster. >> they have good shows. >> they have good shows. >> they've already got like people that it happened years
2:37 am
ago. if you look at joe rogan, joe rogan gets 30 times as many views and listens as, like cnn does, like a mainstream, you know, the equivalent of the bbc in america. >> so the bbc, i mean, they're effectively saying, you know, we've got he's saying we've got to deal with the threats from streaming services, we've got to deal with the fact that a lot of people resent the licence fee. but it is over, isn't it, because they are so biased? yeah. >> and so, you know, i would say the two bits i care about are the two bits i care about are the news and the comedy and the news. the fact is they are racist service and the comedy they put out has been rubbish. yeah. and the comedy they put out has been arguably ideologically based. again, like the last story, pushing things according to what's the funniest thing you've seen on the bbc recently? just bbc news every time it talks about israel. yeah, yeah , that's, that's yeah, yeah, that's, that's that's so much invention. there . that's so much invention. there. >> fleabag was good. but that's going back a few years now. >> that's actually quite old now isn't it? >> i didn't like fleabag, got to be honest. yeah, i was alma. alma is what's it called? alma is normal. was that a bbc thing?
2:38 am
i think it was. that was really funny. for one episode. okay, well, you know, let's move on. >> are all cultures are equal in the telegraph? what's this ? the telegraph? what's this? >> josh? yeah. british. british woman faces death by stoning after being forced to marry uncle. so obviously you're referring to. yeah . kemi referring to. yeah. kemi badenoch basically saying. yeah, the opposite of that. that she was heavily criticised by saying, you know, some cultures are actually not as good. and i would argue that marrying your uncle and having a kid to then be able to get him a visa to come to the uk, and now sharia law in pakistan. by the way, this is where it happened , is this is where it happened, is now saying that she's going to have to be stoned to death . but have to be stoned to death. but where is she? >> i think she's in the uk, isn't she? >> she's. she's now in the uk. she's safe as long as she doesn't go back to pakistan because a sharia court depends what part of the uk she's in. >> i mean, she might still get stoned to death here. >> yeah, well, let's hope not. >> yeah, well, let's hope not. >> i mean, this is the thing. this just reminds us, doesn't it? some cultural practices are not as good as others. >> this is just you two showing your western cultural
2:39 am
imperialism, which i'd expect from a couple of pale, stale males. this is islamophobia awareness month, and i think we should understand that, you know, other cultures we might not understand why they're stoning someone to death, but they've got their reasons . and they've got their reasons. and we need to accept that and understand that, you know , white understand that, you know, white british culture is colonial, which is bad. >> always the voice of tolerance on this show. no curse. let's move on now to the mail. and, leo, would you be allowed to vote in that shirt? do you think? >> i think i would. so this is the strict dress codes you must stick to in most states when you vote. this is in america. not not in the uk. and this is after drama at the polls. there's been some drama connected to this election. i can't believe it. >> it's running smooth sailing the whole time. >> so every state in the us bans campaigning near polling booths, which is, you know, for obvious reasons . it's sort of like an reasons. it's sort of like an abortion clinic, you know, telling you they can't tell you not to, but you can silently pray for someone to vote nearby without getting arrested. but yeah, voters in 21 states are banned outright from wearing any sort of political messaging. so a maga hat or a kamala harris
2:40 am
button? that's fair enough, isn't it? yeah, it seems fair enough , but a lot of people are enough, but a lot of people are wearing this stuff right now. so we've seen scenes of there's a woman who had to strip down to her bra and, you know, if i had to pick a woman to strip down to her, i probably wouldn't have been. she wouldn't have been my first choice. but she did it to vote because she was wearing a trump t shirt. and she actually, she made a hilarious comment. she was like, you know, you guys are why i'm voting for trump. it was brilliant. >> yeah, but it got quite extreme because apparently a trump voter with a maga hat punched a poll. >> an older man, 69 year old man. yeah, repeatedly, because he had to take off his makeup. >> couldn't he just say that it was a fashion accessory? i mean, it's not possible to wear a maga hat just for the look of it. >> he might. he might have been receding hairline and being a little bit self—conscious. >> the 69 year old doing the punching. >> no, no it wasn't no, no, it was the guy. he the guy, the guy he punched was 69, 69. >> yeah. okay. well, i mean, this is just the violence of that. >> yeah. he had to be treated at the scene. >> no, it's not good at all. but, you know, it makes sense, though. you shouldn't be able to campaign. i mean, i would have
2:41 am
thought it was obvious. why are people getting so upset about this? >> i think i think, you know, passions. passions are high. they are they know donald trump is going to go to jail if he if he loses, you know, the country is going to drift into this, you know, horrible communism with the misinformation as opposed to if he wins and they're stuffing the supreme supreme court and we have a bet, which he didn't do either filibuster or no, kamala harris is going to do this stuff. >> but trump already did it. trump didn't do it. trump had put in three putting three people know. >> but no, he that was him. there's like a set number of people in the supreme supreme court. the democrats are going to increase it to like they are saying that josh, they are saying that josh, they are saying that josh, they are saying that they want to. >> well, there have been rumours they want to swamp. yeah. >> well they haven't done they well they didn't do it under biden anyway. the point is if you're in maine you're allowed to have a badge. they call it buttons because they're americans. yeah, but you're allowed a badge, but it can't be bigger than three inches. is that right? yeah. if it's four inches, then you will influence someone. >> and if you expose yourself and trying to measure the size of your badge, then you're also in trouble. >> interesting. well, look, just the last section. two badges. josh can do the link. sorry. all
2:42 am
right. just the last section coming up with the usual shenanigans. we're going to be talking about sweary northerners, asteroid mining. and why would you find a dating website? see you in a moment
2:43 am
2:44 am
2:45 am
welcome back to headliners. it's your first look at tuesday's newspapers. we're going to kick this one off with josh. and what's this about swearing in the north. >> you can do it. yeah. it's legally allowed. yeah. using f—word at work is no sacking offence in the north rules. judge, this is a delivery driver. he win . he won his case driver. he win. he won his case for unfair dismissal. he called a female colleague. now we were talking in the break to work out how to. >> we can't say the phrase for something. f—word. then the word. >> the m not the n word. the m word. the m word. the m word. >> we'll leave that to your imagination. >> but like implying that he that she was stupid. so f m.
2:46 am
yeah. anyway , what not nice send yeah. anyway, what not nice send in your tweets. >> not nice, but. >> not nice, but. >> yeah, but. >> yeah, but. >> so what do you make of this story? >> well, i just thought it was interesting that basically this is more of the war on workplace banter because they're all calling each other names, you know, like horseplay. it was all stuff that we do here. so there's an instant where a shift manager was seen pouring sweets over the same woman's head to say she's fat. >> there was quite a creative way shaming, inappropriate comments referring to female. >> the female colleague as chubs. and you know, this is this is all the sort of the fun and the banter that makes, you know , companies a bit mean, know, companies a bit mean, coming into work worth living. >> i think chubs is mean, i think, yeah, look. what calling someone an f no, but that can be done. that's nice. that's loving in the north. >> that's a pleasant. >> that's a pleasant. >> but it is interesting that the judge basically said that, you know , it's a common everyday you know, it's a common everyday experience, particularly in the north. the f word is used quite often spoken to the public. so that excuses. >> it's a cultural difference. and i mean, he poured sweets on her. you threw a battenberg at
2:47 am
me earlier. >> i did, and you caught it in your gullet in my in my in my tusks. >> yes, exactly. >> yes, exactly. >> you wolfed it down. yum, yum. >> you wolfed it down. yum, yum. >> delicious. yeah. let's hope you don't call me it. josh, the independent. now, leo, with news how ugly men can make some dosh. >> so a matrimonial portal in india. they mean dating site i think has been fined 960,000, which is £550 pennies. if anybody's getting their holiday money ready for not being able to find a potential match for a male subscriber should have just used his mum, was what i was going to say, but it actually was. it was his dad who went and set up this dating profile for his son. >> so what a loser he's doing, arranged and arranged it like that's. >> yeah, that's double loser. because, you know, online dating is kind of loser. and then getting your dad to do your dating for you is also kind of loser. but yeah, he didn't get any matches. so he wants the he wants the money back. and i think it's quite a lot of money for, for india. i'm not an
2:48 am
expert on the sort of indian economics, but £550 would be a lot for, for here. you can go on tinder for free here. >> yeah. thoughts on this one, josh yeah, i just i just wonder how unattractive this man is. well, we don't have any photos unfortunately. unfortunately, yes. >> so that was that was the bit that was that was lacking from the story. but yeah he's he's a loser . the there the story. but yeah he's he's a loser. the there is a story that being married was we're going to get to actually makes you happy. so this is like a triple loser situation. >> well let's move on. with that in mind, we're going to go to the guardian, which now has a cure for depression. well, you could start by not reading the guardian. i would think that would help you. >> moving in with someone cuts chances of being depressed, finds study. this is 100,000 individuals all across the world and they've accounted for all these factors like smoking and drug taking and all the other stuff age , sex. and essentially, stuff age, sex. and essentially, if you are in a long term relationship, you're 86% higher chance of not suffering from depression. >> how can that be? because, i mean, i thought during the pandemic, we discovered that people being together too much,
2:49 am
living together drove each other crazy. well, i think living together every hour of the day is too much. >> but living together for three hours a day in between work because you're you're a settled gentleman. >> aren't you happier now than when you were sort of, you know, one of those libertines? oh, yeah. >> yeah. also, there's i mean, it's amazing. there's clean towels. it's just, it's amazing. there's clean towels. it'sjust, i mean, it's towels. it's just, i mean, it's wonderful. you wouldn't believe it. >> like, you don't use them to wipe your bottom anymore. >> no, not at all. don't blow my nose on them. but also i lived i was, you know, single for a long time , and i lived alone for time, and i lived alone for a bit, and i hated it. >> so you actually prefer being in a partnership? >> you always, always lived in, you know, big groups of people, you know, big groups of people, you know, big shared warehouses or flats or whatever, and communes. right. coming home? yeah. no, i lived in some communes. i'm a commune communist in the in the sheets. but is it about the past? >> is it just about not being in an empty house? you know, could you not just get a chihuahua or something like that? >> no, because you can't talk to a chihuahua. yeah you can. and also it poops on the floor, which some of my flatmates did as well. but i think coming home to an empty house is just the
2:50 am
most depressing thing. sorry. i know you're going to be doing it in an hour, but unbelievable. >> no . well, what's interesting >> no. well, what's interesting is, is that men, it's much more depressing than women's because women have friends. yes. so they. so they can survive being single and living alone . whereas single and living alone. whereas men are just have no mates. >> okay , well, there we go. >> okay, well, there we go. we're going to move on now to the male. leah. what's this about asteroids? what's going on? >> so invest in asteroid mining now to become a billionaire. says spacex ceo with one space rock , which is what an asteroid rock, which is what an asteroid is alone estimated to be worth $10,000 quadrillion. that's enough to pay. that's not a real thing, quadrillion. it's enough to pay reparations. yeah, tobago. it's amazing. so . but tobago. it's amazing. so. but this is this is where the economics break down. so they say that the resources from one asteroid would be worth 10 quadrillion, 10,000 quadrillion, which would be enough to make everyone on earth a billionaire. it wouldn't because the supply, the oversupply of these precious metals like platinum would immediately depress the demand. it's like things like gold and platinum are expensive because they're rare. if you've got a big asteroid of them, they're
2:51 am
not rare. >> but you don't know what's in the asteroids. it might be sponge or something. >> have you seen that film the thing? no. like a space monster comes out of one of these. oh, there we go. it's very scary, actually. >> i have seen that the john carpenter thing. yeah. it's disgusting. exactly. you don't want to do that, do you? you don't want to start again. bring back no play. >> god, don't play it. but they managed to raise £31 million because there are people who are stupid enough to think, yeah, yeah. even though they haven't got any proof that this is even possible or how are you going to mine? they've watched armageddon too many times. >> this is deep impact. who, when they were kids, they had a kinder egg and they thought they were going to get a great prize. and they just got some rubbish bit of plastic. >> and the ceo at the end of the thing goes, you know, he says, my, my job is to prove it's effing possible. yes. and as soon as we prove that it's possible, we'll probably hire a lot of lawyers or something. this guy, he seems totally legitimate, by the way. or something. >> i think we've just got time for this story. this is. on , no for this story. this is. oh, no we don't. oh, no, we do. right. what is this? this we do? yeah.
2:52 am
>> have you got this? yeah. this is a great story. warning as mouth cancers reach record high in the uk and experts say a sex act is to blame. i can't think what that is. kissing. kissing, kissing, kissing kissing. >> is that a sex act? >>— >> is that a sex act? >> no kissing bits. kissing bottom bits. right. >> well, let's not be graphic about it. no, okay? >> just kissing and bits of eye contact. >> that's that. >> that's that. >> sorry about that. >> sorry about that. >> what we're basically saying is we should go back to celibacy, promote celibacy, and then this kind of stuff won't happen, right? yes, yes. >> that is what i was trying to point out because it's a real problem. >> handmaid's tale, handmaid's tale is the optimum social system. >> there we go. on that progressive note, the show is nearly over, so let's have another look at the front covers of tuesday's newspapers. okay, so the times is leading with labour vow to improve universities as fees rise. the guardian obviously going with the american story harris or trump us faces its moment of reckoning. the telegraph also has the us farage telling trump do not fight the poll result and the i america decides the world
2:53 am
holds its breath. the metro is going with starmer's 180 degree uni u—turn and the daily star also going with starmer . but also going with starmer. but they've dressed him up as a clown there. that's it for tonight show. thanks ever so much to my guests josh and leo. tomorrow night is the us election special, but as long as the world doesn't end, we'll be back on wednesday. and if you're watching the 5 am, repeat. then please do stay tuned because now it's please do stay tuned because now wsfime please do stay tuned because now it's time for breakfast. >> there will be a light breeze in the morning leading to a warm front. boxt heat pumps sponsors of weather on gb news evening . of weather on gb news evening. >> welcome to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. the forecast for tomorrow and indeed much of the rest of this week is the same most places just dry and fairly drab. could be a few fog patches tonight and there should be some sunshine tomorrow, especially in northern scotland. high pressure sitting to the east of us, keeping the weather fronts behind me at bay,
2:54 am
but also keeping a lid on the weather and just trapping this zone of cloud across the country. there has been some breaks today. we've seen some sunshine across the southeast, breaks in the cloud tonight here could allow some fog to form, so don't let that catch you out in the morning. certainly not going to be a chilly night with some clearer skies. we could dip down to 4 or 5, but most towns and cities are starting tuesday at 8 or 9 celsius. also starting mostly cloudy and staying that way for most of the day. as i mentioned, the potential for some fog patches which could unger some fog patches which could linger actually across the southeast most places though just cloudy. some breaks in the cloud here and there. north wales could be favoured for a bit of sunshine tomorrow. parts of northern ireland may see a few glimmers of blue, and i think actually northern scotland will be favourite for a little bit of sunshine during tuesday, but otherwise expect it to be cloudy. that cloud sitting over the hills so some of the higher routes a bit misty, a bit murky. the cloud thicken up in the west for a little bit of drizzle here and there, particularly around
2:55 am
the coast. the east coast of northern ireland, pembrokeshire could see some spots of drizzle east coast of scotland too, but actually much of northern scotland looking fine. dry. some sunshine here could see highs of 1415 degrees. some sunny spells in the southeast are possible 1415 here, where it stays cloudy 11 or 12. wednesday's remarkably similar, maybe a bit more fog around in the morning and we should again see some sunny spells over northeast scotland. some patchy rain across the western isles early on. that should clear away again. some drizzle here and there, but most places dry and cloudy. a bit of brightness. we'll see those temperatures into the teens where it stays cloudy. we're looking at 11 or 12. >> we can expect clear skies leading to a light and warm day ahead. boxt solar sponsors of weather on
