wallace, but nothing was done. sunday mirror families agony as number of missing people soars. the observer goes with pm to pledge ambitious new targets in labour reset the sunday express. modi orders £37 million of kit from from china, and i've been on those websites daily star sunday. cursed picture is at it again. >> plenty of news for us to get into there, but let's start with the sunday telegraph. >> so the sunday telegraph, they've got the headline i blew they've got the headline i blew the whistle on wallace, but nothing was done. i've got to be honest, if i saw a whistle attached to greg wallace, i would probably not blow it. but we're going to cover that in more depth in a moment. the other story they've got there is somebody waving what appears to be the isis flag or apologies if i've got that wrong, and it's just a different kind of islamic jihad flag over the city of aleppo in syria. so the civil war there, that's been sort of frozen for a good the best part of a decade has flared up again. and the reason this is important to us, i mean, apart from the

fact that, you know, this, this is this is possibly the end of bashar al assad, the leader of syria. and it's important to us because last time it triggered a refugee crisis. and we can see some of the fighters there. those are the rebels. they've even got a ginger. there's always a ginger one in any bunch of islamists. >> is diversity, equity and inclusion . inclusion. >> that's what it is. or possibly their predilection for virgins. but but the last time there was a civil war in syria, it sent a millions and millions of refugees up towards europe. and as we've seen over, over the last couple of years, europe has become much more sort of refugee resistant. it's not like 2015 when angela merkel was like, we can take everybody in now, germany and other european countries are saying, you know, no, we can't take it. apart from britain. britain is the one european country that's like, oh no, we still have completely open borders. and if you can get here , we'll put you up in here, we'll put you up in a really nice travelodge and if the hotel is not nice enough,

honestly, your lawyer , your honestly, your lawyer, your human rights lawyer will get you upgraded to a four star hotel. >> and you'll get benefits if you watch enough youtube videos on how to game the system. >> but no, just for a bit of fairness. i mean, starmer just fairness. i mean, starmerjust last week was was saying that he was effectively joining reform, wasn't he.7 he's was effectively joining reform, wasn't he? he's he's pivoted so fully on this issue of immigration that he could be i mean, that would be a high profile crossing the floor. >> no, i mentioned it last night. >> he's beyond reform. he's where all the so—called far right conspiracy theorists were 10s ago. he says it was deliberately done to destroy the country. it was by design. those are his words by design. so starmer is now a far right onune starmer is now a far right online conspiracy theorist, and i think perhaps he should go to jail. i mean, isn't that what happens to those people trying to get a show here? >> this is the sort of stuff that people were going to jail for about three months ago. and now starmer is saying it. it's weird. it's like you're saying earlier, it's like being gaslit. it's like we're being told, you know, starmer is like, oh no, i was always massively anti—immigration and promoted replacement theory. it's insane. >> yeah . and nick, i mean, this >> yeah. and nick, i mean, this feels a bit retro, doesn't it? talking about syria again, i'd forgotten about all of these

places. >> now, you didn't get the note. steve just never asked me about syria. i have no idea . i was syria. i have no idea. i was like, i'm on with leo. he will cover all the serious stuff i don't even understand the memes. i've been trying to catch up with it today. it doesn't make any sense to me. >> did you think it was syria? the italian football league? >> and if it was, i would smash you two on that because you know, nothing about football. i feel like when you must feel when football comes up with, when football comes up with, when syria comes up and just generally anything to do with military conflict, i think just passed to leo. he should be standing in a flak jacket out in some desert somewhere going, yeah, i'm here. like. and they're like, bombs are flying over devastation. >> it's got real sort of fall of afghanistan vibes, you know. when was it 2022? when or 2020? when? when biden just let afghanistan go and, you know, nobody put up a fight. we've seen the syrian army just being routed by these these rebels, which, you know, quite often are just a few guys in a pickup truck . truck. >> so russia were doing a lot, and now they're a bit busy, i suppose that's the thing russia and iran were both propping up assad and providing military support. >> and now a lot of that military support is needed in other places. you know , iran's other places. you know, iran's tied up with with this sort of

conflict with israel and
