key issues, including the middle east, and sir keir starmer thanked donald trump for his role in the gaza ceasefire deal. the united states president also welcomed the release of the british hostage, emily de—man, and spoke warmly of his respect for the royal family. the home secretary has warned online platforms they must act now to remove violent content after the southport killer accessed extremist material before his deadly attack. axel rudakubana, who murdered three young girls and tried to kill ten others, downloaded an al—qaeda training manual and watched graphic footage online just before the stabbing spree. yvette cooper says it's unacceptable that such hateful content remains easily available, and is urging tech companies to take immediate action. the government has also announced a public inquiry into missed chances to stop rudakubana, who was already known to police, and anti—extremism authorities. well, the government is also

cracking down on online knife sales after it was revealed that axel rudakubana purchased his murder weapon on amazon when he was just 17 years old. under tough new rules, buyers will need to show photo id at the point of purchase and again when the knife is delivered, with packages banned from being left on doorsteps, delivery drivers will also only be allowed to hand knives to the person who ordered them. that's in plans set to feature in the crime and policing bill. the home secretary says it is a total disgrace that dangerous weapons are still so easy for children to get hold of. the chancellor has dropped a major hint today that she will back heathrow's third runway, saying it could boost the economy and align with climate goals. rachel reeves told broadcasters today that advances in electric aviation mean flights could land quicker, cut fuel use and cut delays. but she did stress the decision will need the full backing of the cabinet, after opposition from some senior labour figures. her comments come as the government is gearing up to announce

stories with three tip top comedians. i include myself in that. let's kick off with a look at some of the front pages the express has never forget. it's the 80th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz. the times has starmer defies trump over cash for defence. the guardian has trump accused of ethnic cleansing over calls for palestinians to quit gaza. so let's have a look at those, starting with the daily express. simon, they've got. >> i think that's kyrees. won the daily express. >> that's all right. >> that's all right. >> i don't. >> i don't. >> mind either way. go ahead. i'm happy to go with it. >> yes. >> yes. >> so holocaust memorial and the never forget written in big at the top of the daily express. i don't think people have forgotten it. you know, i don't think people do. forget it. it's mentioned quite a lot. i do think that it's not really about remembering it. it's more about how how you remember it. and i think a lot of people are remembering it very wrongly, because now it's so misunderstood that what happened is being compared to just about every war. yeah. and israel—gaza is being seen as some similarity or some representation of the

holocaust, of course, with the holocaust. and it wasn't just jews, but it was, you know, and so on, and gay people. but largely there was a final solution that was intended to completely eradicate jewish people. and it's weird, as a jewish person to know only decades ago, there was an attempt to completely destroy an entire people, and it wasn't because they had hostages to give back and refuse. and it wasn't because they started off an attack, or because they demanded from any equivalent of river to the sea of another country. there was no demand, there was no way out. there was no escape. it was a hunting down of people across europe to completely destroy them. and i think it should be remembered, but it's being very misremembered now. >> i guess. you know, 80 years is a long time and it does seem to be slipping from, you know, this is this is something that was, you know, totemic in my, in my childhood, as, you know, the ultimate example of, of evil. but now looking at, you know, the, the demonstrations you get in the streets of london, looking at, you know, pro—palestinian people on tiktok, looking at a lot of a lot of britain's left wing people and left wing people in america. they seem to have completely forgotten the

lessons. they want to seem to repeat it. well. >> i don't know about repeat it. 80 years is. >> as you say, a. >> long time. >> long time. >> for instance, the 80th anniversary. >> of d—day was commemorated. >> of d—day was commemorated. >> of d—day was commemorated. >> of course, a year ago. and i. >> think by common consent, there is a general understanding that that's probably it. >> that will. >> that will. >> be. >> be. >> the last commemoration of that event, the last time that any veterans are expected to cross over to the beaches of normandy. 80 years is an extraordinarily it's a it's a it's a healthy lifespan, let alone one that goes back to something you can remember. i think there's another column about it on one of the other front pages saying that a few years ago they had 300 survivors, but this time it's down to sort of 50 or something visiting auschwitz and so on. and i mean, remember is obviously, you know, it's a it's a journalese word, never forget. but of course, there is nobody around to remember the first world war anymore. i can remember when there were survivors and veterans of the first world war on poppy day. they've gone now. i remember very clearly the last one died. he was a neighbour of mine. he was in a rest home in hove, the very last one to have served.

yeah. these kind of milestones do move forward. time is absolutely ruthless in this regard. as you know, as you get a bit older yourself, you start to realise it. and the ways in which things are commemorated do also change in that regard. and history is constantly subject to revisionism, as perhaps arguably it needs to be. we do constantly need to address what the holocaust was. it wasn't simply a sequence of camps. it also included just lining people up and shooting them in the back of the head and kicking them into a ditch. it included the eradication of villages. it included people being expected to make their their jews available to the invading forces, and so on. there were a lot of elements. >> to it. very enthusiastically they did when the when the nazis reached france, they they stated how many jews they wanted rounded up. the french said, we think we can double that. and you know what. >> they. >> they. >> did famously? >> did famously? >> that's what really it's all about. it's about all the people who joined in with it. it's about the machine that formed. and really the problem is we want to put this down to some kind of german mentality or

something like this, but really it's about understanding human nature. that's what we should be doing. we should be understanding the systems that encourage the gruesome and, you know, hatred that that allows people to rise to the top and run these things. and that's a better way of understanding who we are and what we. >> reassure you. we would never do that on this show because we wouldn't have a show if we did that. moving on. we've got the times, simon, with with starmer to defy trump. >> yes. interesting account of starmer's conversation with donald trump, which they characterise as warm and personal, which is encouraging because i think a lot of us had been concerned that trump had got off on the wrong foot with starmer or vice versa, and certainly to the extent that elon musk is regarded as a sort of ventriloquist puppet or a i don't know, he's a sort of. mascot figure. he's slightly cartoonish. but, you know, it seems that trump himself has a lot more time for starmer than than he 1523 00:07:54,536 -
