gbnews.com/alerts. >> hello and welcome to headliners, your first look at tomorrow's top stories with three comedians. before we dive in, let's take a quick look at what paul and nick will have to work with on tuesday's front pages. first of all, we have the daily telegraph royal mail accused of faking deliveries. the times fifth of the forces can't be relied on to fight the daily mirror. honour the brave. the daily mail, king's message of national healing. the sun. good health, your majesty. and finally, the daily star. the return of the boffins. they warn of a techno meltdown on festive big day. so let's have a closer look at the front pages. we'll start with tuesday's daily mail. >> paul us feliz navidad, as they say in scotland, simon king's message of national healing. >> the king's christmas message tomorrow has been inspired by the way the uk pulled together after the southport murder and

riots. now i am starting to wonder if the king spent the summer outside of the uk, or perhaps has just taken keir starmers word for it, because i'm not sure there has been a great deal of national healing as a result of southport and the tragic murders and of course, the subsequent riots. but let's let's stick with the spirit of christmas, shall we.7 it's, let's stick with the spirit of christmas, shall we? it's, you know, it's a tradition that i'll make sure i'll be watching with you for you to be watching the christmas speech. >> we always used to watch at home, and actually, my dad always made a point of it, which i found tiresome at the time. but now look back on very fondly. but i don't think i can convincingly persuade my children to, you know, assume the same role in the family. it's lost a little bit of its heft. the truth is, i think when it was the queen, there was so much tradition. there was such a weight of tradition that it carried it forward like an ocean liner. but with the king, it's quite, you know, he still feels like an innovation. >> and yes, i hate to be rude, but it sort of seems like a series that's gone on, you know, like i was following the prior

season closely, and after that i kind of like i've lost track a little bit. >> and the other thing i don't i genuinely don't know this. i mean, obviously we all know when the king's speech in the or it used to be the queen's speech in parliament, that's all totally scripted for them by the government with the queen's speech. it always used to be just really quite a diary of what she'd been up to during the yeah what she'd been up to during the year. you know, you'd see her meeting some schoolchildren and so on, and a couple of overseas dignitaries. this feels a little bit like he's being he's been given some labour party propaganda. >> yeah, he's he's essentially and i'm a big fan of the monarchy, but he is essentially the sort of social justice king, isn't he? and this story itself feels a little bit like this. i don't know the speech. i've just been presented with the front page today, this evening. sorry. and the fact that he's talking about the country coming together after the riots in particular. that didn't happen. >> yeah, that didn't happen. >> yeah, that didn't happen. >> i must have missed that. >> i must have missed that. >> no, it was it was the worst post riot discord i can remember. i mean, much more so than after the 2011 riots. then i think the country were generally relieved that that had calmed down. and they were

broadly speaking, there was consensus that harsh penalties were appropriate. >> i would say there was pre, intra and post riot. >> discord was pretty much discord the whole time. there was no there was no coming together. so how he gets that, what tony strikes on that will be interesting. >> apparently the venues i won't be watching, there's a sort of byzantine chapel in an otherwise demolished hospital or something. >> he's chosen an ex hospital chapel for the speech, praising health workers and how the nafion health workers and how the nation came together after the summer riots. it doesn't say i can't quite see where. >> apparently he's he's chosen a demolished hospital as a symbol of britain and where we are now demolished. >> hospital, which is ex—wife diana, opened the aids ward at. it's really the symbolism. could hardly be more. it's more byzantine than the architecture. anyway, let's have a look at the times, nick. >> happy to. yeah. so they've got fifth of the forces. can't be relied on to fight. and this is the state of our armed forces, which is somewhat disturbing. so more than 10,000 soldiers, sailors and aircrew are medically unfit and 15,000 can only be deployed if the

mission meets certain criteria, such as weather is not too hot or too cold, or they're not exposed to noise, which could be a matter. i mean, i'm a layman, but i hear that combat zones can get a little bit on the noisy side. if you don't bring your earplugs. >> well, you can get these special earplugs now that they play special earplugs now that they play used to play in bands and things so you don't get tinnitus. >> well that's good. yeah. >> well that's good. yeah. >> good equipment. >> good equipment. >> but then what if it's cold? they can't go, so we're in real trouble. only a fifth can actually can fight, apparently. so one fifth of regular armed forces cannot be relied on to fight. only 55,000 fully deployable. so our army's in a big mess, and we're announcing it 1520 00:08
