>> hello! it's 11:00 , which >> hello! it's11:00, which means it's time for tomorrow's newspapers tonight. join us over the next hour to find out what's happening to rich people's money after the budget. are you afraid of the big bad gas boiler? and what does russia think is too gay? i'm stephen allen, and tonight i've got comedians kerry marx and nick dixon taking you through friday's top stories. this is headliners. but before tomorrow's news, let's get tonight's headlines with sam francis. >> very good evening to you. the top story tonight. well, the street in new orleans where a deadly new year's day attack took place and left 14 dead, has now reopened tonight. among the

victims were an aspiring nurse and a father of two, remembered today in a minute's silence at the sugar bowl football game. the fbi says the attacker, shamsuddin jabar, acted alone, killed by police after driving into crowds and planting explosives. he also reportedly posted videos pledging allegiance to isis before the attack, though no links to so—called islamic state has been found relating to a tesla explosion near a las vegas hotel just hours after the incident in new orleans, the fbi says it's now reviewing hundreds of hours of surveillance footage and over 400 public tip offs here. meanwhile, kemi badenoch is calling for a national inquiry into the uk's rape gang scandal, saying justice for victims is long overdue. her plea comes after labour's safeguarding minister insisted it was for oldham council alone to decide whether to launch an investigation into exploitation of children between 2011 and 2014. even elon musk has

attacked that decision, claiming jess phillips deserves prison and accused sir keir starmer of inaction as director of public prosecutions before leadership of the labour party. however, the government says it is working to implement recommendations from the 2022 independent inquiry into child sexual abuse, pledging to strengthen the law to protect victims. suspected people smugglers could soon face travel bans, phone restrictions and social media blackouts under new government proposals. ministers are introducing interim serious crime prevention orders to impose immediate restrictions. the move follows a sharp rise in small boat crossings in 2024, with over 7000 more migrants arriving than the previous 12 months. labour says the powers will tackle vile gang networks. but the shadow home secretary, chris philp, told us it won't make any difference at all. >> this is the same government, of course, the same labour party who voted against life sentences for those very same gangs when

they were in opposition and on their watch since the election. now, six months ago, illegal immigration across the channel has gone up by 29% compared to last year. and i think it was a huge mistake of labour to scrap the rwanda deterrent before it even started. the first flight was due to take off on the 24th of july, and labour cancelled it before that plane had a chance to leave. and i think if that had started then we would see the numbers dramatically reducing and we're being warned to brace for a bitterly cold weekend. >> with temperatures plunging as low as —eight degrees celsius tonight, wintry showers and icy roads are forecast across scotland, northern ireland and northern england, while up to 40cm of snow could blanket high ground in wales and the pennines by monday. london councils have also activated emergency shelters for rough sleepers, while age uk is urging pensioners to stay warm despite soaring heating costs. the met office says a brief thaw is

expected by sunday, but freezing conditions will return early next week. that's the news on gb news. your next update 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 look at what kerry and nick will have to work with on friday's front pages. the telegraph says. labour blocks grooming gang probe. the daily mail pay of nhs managers soars £1.1 billion. the guardian has ministers planned biggest shake up of adult social care for decades. the daily express goes with committee. inquiry into uk's rape gangs is long overdue. the paper says. millions face bill to install

surrender. change of history there. and there's an oxfordshire dinosaur highway that's been unearthed. it's hard to know whether that means it's a big highway or an old highway, but apparently they found loads of footprints of middle lane dinosaurs. >> i don't think dinosaurs drove. >> no, i don't think they did. well, maybe. maybe i'll find out. and then there's some bigger stories. do you want anything before we get on to the bigger stories? >> no, no, i was waiting for the big story. i was talking too much. i was waiting for the big. i was wondering when you were going to. do. i want to jump? i'm wondering if you were ignofing i'm wondering if you were ignoring the. if you were trying to cover up. no, i'm trying to. >> i'm trying to get to it by building through all the little bits. >> first soften them up with the. >> yeah, that's right. so pro—ukraine soldier in 10th. so this is the ukraine. sorry, the tesla attack. he was pro—ukraine, which i don't know why they're mentioning it. like it's some kind of weird celebrity endorsement. hey, you support ukraine? he does. but yeah, they're always into this tittle tattle, aren't they? of what? what a terrorist might have been into whether they had a right wing view or they once
