5:01 am
headliners. but before we get tomorrow's news, let's go to tonight's headlines with sam francis. >> very good evening to you from the newsroom. the top story tonight, the prime minister, sir keir starmer and the king have paid tribute to the victims of a plane crash in south korea that killed all 179 passengers and crew on board the boeing jet, carrying 181 people, skidded off the runway, crashed, crashed into a fence and caught fire after its landing gear failed to deploy. emergency responders rescued two members of the crew. while investigators now consider factors like a possible bird strike that could have caused engine failure. while the crash is one of south korea's deadliest, with only the tail of the aircraft now remaining recognisable, earlier travel and aviation expert sally gethin
5:02 am
spoke to us about the events that led to the crash. >> seems to have suffered a catastrophic bird strike, which might sound nothing in the scheme of things. but actually, when you consider the powerful engines on board, any bird strike is very critical in a case like this. and that triggered a chain of events where the pilots could not keep in control, they could not deploy the landing gear in time. and then they ran out of runway effectively. at that point, they skidded off the runway and they ran right into a wall. but they have recovered one of the black boxes. once they've recovered both black boxes, the investigation will begin properly. >> the government says that ruthless criminals are responsible for the deaths of three migrants. after a small boat capsized in the channel this morning, a major rescue operation near calais saved 45 people, with four still in hospital. authorities warn the death toll could rise further.
5:03 am
it follows news that over 1300 migrants have now crossed the channel since christmas day, despite the government's promise to smash the gangs behind the crossings, labour is facing a countryside crisis as new polling has revealed that rural voters are angry over a planned tax raid on family farms. a poll in the telegraph newspaper suggested that only 1 in 5 believed that labour cares about countryside communities. sir keir starmer's approval ratings among rural voters are being described now as catastrophic, with concerns mounting over his so—called family farm tax. the prime minister is also under pressure to address backlash after a major speech called his plan for change. the education secretary says that tax breaks for private schools are a luxury we can't afford, ahead of a new policy coming into effect. bridget phillipson has defended the plan to end exemptions, claiming it will raise £1.8 billion each year to, she says, fund state schools and recruit more teachers. critics, though,
5:04 am
including the conservatives, say it's a vindictive policy that will only hurt children's education. the government insists the policy is supported by middle class parents, who are struggling with private school fees, and believe that better funding for state schools will improve life chances for everyone. and the uk has pledged millions more to help investigate russian war crimes investigate russian war crimes in ukraine. the government has announced an additional £4.5 million to support bodies like the ukrainian prosecutor general's office, in holding war criminals to account. it follows an earlier pledge of more than £6 million for war crime prosecutions. it comes as the united nations has already confirmed war crimes have been taking place during the conflict, citing evidence of executions and of torture. those are the latest headlines for now. plenty more still to come. i'll be back with you in an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code or go to

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 steve and kerry will have to work with on monday's front pages. we have the telegraph labour to diversify national curriculum. the i labour plan want to stop the cost of living squeeze voters, warn pm. the daily express beware risks of weight loss. drugs bought online. the times rising toll of young adults too ill to work the mirror and cosmetic apps opps sorry carnage. and finally, the daily star. and they have vladdy horrible. okay, let's have a closer look at the front pages. we'll start with the times, steve.
5:06 am
>> well, the times they've got. jemmy carter, former us president, dies aged 100. and it's one of those stories where when someone reaches that age and has achieved that much, you just got to say, oh, good innings, well done. >> very good innings. in fact, the classic good innings 100. but i suppose there's also a time to reflect almost not just on a life well lived. and he did have an extraordinary second act or third act even. i suppose the first act was the peanut farming. >> well, yes, the peanut and then presidency and then nobel prize. so who knows what biden's going to go on to do. >> yes, absolutely. >> yes, absolutely. >> he was how it works. >> he was how it works. >> he was how it works. >> he had a very i mean, he had a mixed bag as a presidency. i think many people felt that he underestimated. he was out of his depth to a large extent. he didn't have the rolodex, but he didn't have the rolodex, but he did use it as a platform to launch himself into a far more worthwhile career than most presidents do afterwards. essentially, most of them hit the lecture circuit and just start. >> i don't know what did he do.7 >> i don't know what did he do? >> well, he established the camp david peace talks. i mean, i know that, but i mean, all of that, you know, it was largely he was he hosted talking shops
5:07 am
mostly to do with middle east peace crisis. >> i was camp david after he was president. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> or was it? >> or was it? >> i didn't realise that. >> i didn't realise that. >> i didn't realise that. >> i don't remember much about it. >> i rememberi it. >> i remember i was 15 by the time he stopped being president. >> so i remember the peanut thing was massive. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> everyone made a big thing abouti >> everyone made a big thing about i don't know why. >> even as a child, i knew that there was a president who was a peanut farmer as if that was like really, really important. >> well, the reason was he was very similar in that regard to donald trump. the point was, he wasn't a professional career politician. he had come into it very late in life, and in a single leap he made it into the white house. and he had he had no contacts, he had no favours. he didn't know where any bodies were buried, and he had no way of strong arming people to follow him. >> presumably this was before peanut allergy was a big thing as well, wasn't it? >> so, you know, we don't know how many people he killed. really. now people look at it differently. >> all those that he saved. yeah, but think of the death toll. also on the front page, though, this is the shocking one. young women are more likely to be out of work sick than with children. >> i mean, you could do both. >> i mean, you could do both. >> come on, aim higher. but this is because, well, this is the figures on who are economically
5:08 am
inactive. and that was in the news a few weeks ago as well, that there was i think it was yvette cooper saying that she didn't like that phrase because, you know, the idea of you just have to find a phrase offensive. that's already the euphemism one, isn't it? >> like, what's the phrase she doesn't like economically inactive. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> that's an extraordinarily as against layabout or ne'er do wells. yes. >> they're the ones that we used to use in the lead up. yeah. but it's now we're up to 9.3 million people who are not in work or seeking work. but the shocking one is that a decade ago, it was half a million women between 16 and 24 who are out of work because of families. that's dropped to 93,000. meanwhile, from 52,000 to 117,000 out of work due to illness. so it's the first time there's been this crossover and there's been i mean, part of this comes down to men. it's our fault. we've doubled the number of men who don't work because we're looking after families. >> this is this is catastrophic. this is civilizational, isn't it? well, what are we going to do about it, do you think. >> do you think it's end times? >> do you think it's end times? >> i think so, well, we cannot compete. obviously we're losing. there's a massive brain drain.
