lawyers insist the claims are entirely false , saying the entirely false, saying the suggestion that wallace, who presented the popular bbc one cooking show alongside john torode since 2005, engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature was entirely false . football action now and false. football action now and there were wins for brentford, nottingham forest and bournemouth in the premier league today. meanwhile, crystal palace scored a last minute equaliser to draw one all at home to newcastle in the evening kick off. arsenal thumped west ham five goals to two and england ladies ended usa's nine game winning streak with a goalless draw in a friendly at wembley . now to a story that wembley. now to a story that will sweeten your day. a man has been awarded £2 in compensation after he complained about a smooth mars bar. harry seager, from buckinghamshire , picked up from buckinghamshire, picked up the chocolate treat at a service station in oxfordshire but contacted manufacturers mars wrigley when he discovered it didn't have its signature

ripple. in a letter, the firm apologised for his experience and enclosed a £2 voucher. but offered no explanation. mr seager said i think £2 is great. it will be two free mars bars . it will be two free mars bars. maybe they could have sent me more but i'm not being ungrateful . the story of the ungrateful. the story of the day. those are the latest gb news headlines. that's me done for the day. a very good evening to you. now for more on that mars bar in headliners . mars bar in headliners. >> hello and welcome to headliners. >> your first look at sunday's top stories with three comedians. before we roll up our sleeves like a keen vet and get stuck into the papers, let's have a quick taste of what leo and nick will have to work with on the sunday front pages. the mail on sunday winter fuel minister's heating bill is paid by you. the sunday telegraph goes with i blew the whistle on 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 hezbollah and hamas getting getting eviscerated and, and obviously russia is tied up in

ukraine. >> yeah. anything else on the front page? i see there's a starmer gets another mention. >> yeah. starmer accused of bringing khan to heel as labour rift worsens. so yeah this is actually about the threat of sadiq khan and richard. what's his name to starmer ? andy his name to starmer? andy burnham i always get confused with richard, the other one. you know what i mean? richard thingy burgon is it? and andy burnham. they seem exactly like the same person anyway. somehow they're a threat to starmer because starmer's approval rating is catastrophic. so he's worried about sadiq khan, catastrophic. so he's worried things where they catastrophic. so he's worried election and things like that, which would be good because sadiq khan sadiq khan is like a 16th century russian tsar. the guy is just in forever. he just seems to be there forever. you can't get rid of him. so i think i'm okay with that, to be honest with you. and there's also one about chagos islands, where apparently russia's been meddling with it, sort of drumming up support for mauritius to just mess with the deal mauritius to just mess with the deal. i think the chagos thing is so funny because trump is having to tell us not to give away our own territory . he might away our own territory. he might have to step in to stop us being absolute idiots. i think it will

get quashed by by trump's influence. >> yeah, and it's like trump stepped in to say, oh no, europe and the uk please maintain western liberal values of freedom of speech. you know, he's had to step in to stop us being communist and to stop us giving away our own territory. >> all right . let's take a look >> all right. let's take a look at the sunday times. nick, what have they got? >> yeah. so the times has dying. bill piles pressure on courts and nhs. so it's once again the assisted dying bill we've talked so much about. but there's a new aspect to it here, which is that it will eclipse the government's priorities and heap pressure on the already broken nhs and justice system. so it's we can't even kill people because we're so inefficient. it's basically what's happened. the country's just broken so we can't manage to kill people. i'm completely against assisted dying. i'm being satirical. when i say kill people. >> i was going to agree with you. you were going to make a note . yeah, of course i'm going note. yeah, of course i'm going to make a joke. oh, no. >> no, i thought you were gonna make, like, a note that it's not actually killing people or something like that. >> oh, no. i was going to say the idea that these people have to be. with only six months left

to be. with only six months left to live, there is no way that a waiting list with the nhs can reach anywhere near six months. they're all going to die naturally. >> yes, dark, but good point. i mean, that's where we are. and unless you want to say anything on that, leo, i've got the other story as well about musk, which is will musk fling farage 100 million, $100 million. it's like doctor evil and there's people close to musk saying, well, he might he's got this money. you know, he's farage says he has a good relationship with him, so he might sort of through british, the british branch of ex. i heard something like that that he would actually give it to, to farage and i'm sort of i'm even questioning that because i don't know if reform are quite the same as, as trump and maga. i don't know if they deserve it at the moment. i think they've gone too safe and too establishment. that's just my controversial views. i don't know if they deserve the 100. >> i think it would be a better idea for musk to spread it around around gb. news presenters. >> yeah, good idea by the place. yeah , but he might. yeah, but he might. >> it's the kind of thing musk would do. i mean, the other day he was telling everyone to watch the tommy robinson film. so musk is pretty out there. he doesn't realise that in british politics you're not allowed to say things like that, but he's just doing what he wants. >> but it's strange if you look

at people like tommy robinson or katie hopkins, who, you know, have a certain reputation in the u.k. in america, they they don't see that. they don't have any prejudice towards them at all. they just take them on what they see. yeah. >> are we going to do the greg wallace thing? so, you know, he seems to be in hot water for 15 minutes until he simmers down. >> yeah. so apparently emails show the bbc was warned about greg wallace in 2017 and allegedly, you know , didn't allegedly, you know, didn't didn't act on the on the warnings. but i mean, how was the bbc to i mean, this is surely the first time this has happenedin surely the first time this has happened in the bbc's history. so i don't know. and also, i've got to say , a lot of the got to say, a lot of the allegations that have come up aren't quite the level of jimmy savile, you know what i mean ? so savile, you know what i mean? so he's, he's been accused of making kung fu fighting noises and comments such as me so horny. i mean, that's really not the worst thing a bbc presenter has done this week. never mind you know, in the history you've stolen my angle on this. >> i mean, staff would be turning in his grave if he saw the bbc. degeneracy has just gone. it's gone so downhill

since the heyday of savile. >> a double standard as well. >> a double standard as well. >> i think he denies all these allegations. can we just say that? >> oh yeah. i was going to finish it. oh, good. >> and also, if they're true, they just make him sound like a fun guy. >> but i feel there's a weird comparison with nigella lawson as well, whose entire tv career is being the most sexualised like, oh, i'm just going to rub oil on my juicy dumplings. like, that's the thing that you could also get fired for. and somehow it's her show. >> i think it depends how attractive you are. >> you know what, they might be on to something. and for that we should say legally, that greg's lawyers deny all of this. right? i think we're safe to move on now to the observer, as the observer have the prime minister to pledge ambitious new targets in labour reset. >> so starmer is acting to stem falling poll ratings. so he's having a sort of mid term refresh about two months in. yeah. he's like it's ridiculous . yeah. he's like it's ridiculous. but but i mean it's amazing how he's how he's changed. the thing is with starmer he was so open borders so pro multiculturalism and thought it was the best thing ever. and now he's

suddenly changed and he really does sound like we were saying earlier, he sounds like a reform candidate. he sounds like he's crossed the floor to reform, which he literally did the other day to talk to farage. >> did you see that? right? he walked across the commons to have a little cosy chat with farage. yeah, internet went mental, right? >> yeah. but he didn't actually join. maybe next time he walks across. but i mean, for somebody , across. but i mean, for somebody, for a politician to change it shows that he's not a conviction politician. i think starmer just wants to be in power. he wants to be successful. and unfortunately for him, he's not being very successful at the moment. for all that people say he's got a huge mandate, he's also hugely unpopular at this stage. you know, without any, you know, massive external pressure. there's been no sort of financial crash or anything like that. it's all of his own making. everything that he's doneis making. everything that he's done is just terrible optics going after the going after the farmers cutting off the fuel allowance, even even things that kind of make sense, like the fuel allowance making that means test, it kind of makes sense. it's just presented in a terrible way and looks awful. yeah. >> nick, do you expect to see

him behind a podium with three words on it that just say control , alt, delete? control, alt, delete? >> do you know what he might, but he might also he almost said take back control the other day. did you see that there was a headline. it was almost exactly those words. so he has gone full brexit but he he is fascinating. we were going to do later i think how his his approval rating is catastrophic. but imagine having a reset and ambitious new targets just after your own budget. i mean that's when you do that. but the budgefs when you do that. but the budget's gone so badly. it's like if we did another budget, he'd probably introduce a new budget, the december budget, because it's like liz truss level. if the deep state were more against this lot, they'd be gone already, right? because she had a catastrophic budget. labour did. but they get to do a reset. but 3030 00:14:36,968 --> 00:14
