your local little pub.7 i'm down your local little pub? i'm josh howie, and tonight i'm joined by best friends and flatmates cresta wetton and lewis schaffer to take you through thursday's top stories. this is headliners. but before tomorrow's news, let's go to tonight's headlines with tatiana sanchez. >> josh thank you. the top stories. the chancellor has backed the expansion of heathrow airport in a speech outlining her plans to boost economic growth. rachel reeves claims the new runway will connect the uk to the world and open up new opportunities, including creating 100,000 jobs. the london mayor, sadiq khan, says he can't support those plans, which, quote, would damage our environment and place huge demand on our transport

infrastructure. sir keir starmer was challenged over the government's plans for growth at prime minister's questions. tory leader kemi badenoch mainly focused on the employment rights bill, repeatedly asking if it would be dropped because it fails his tests for delivering growth. she also accused sir keir of misleading the house. >> it is business that creates growth. our economy is built by entrepreneurs, risk takers and the hard graft of working people. they know that you can't tax your way to growth, you can't borrow your way to growth, you can't legislate your way to growth. other countries are serious about freeing business from red tape. president trump is doing it in america. argentina is taking a chainsaw to regulations. even the eu is not going as far as this left wing government. this bill will put us at the bottom of the pack, add it to the jobs tax, the family business tax. it's no wonder wealth creators are fleeing britain in droves. >> the prime minister, in a reference to liz truss, warned

miss badenoch that she'd become the next lettuce, claiming the conservatives left the economy in a mess. >> mr >> mr speaker, >> mr speaker, i >> mr speaker, i understand >> mr speaker, i understand she likes straight talking. she's talking absolute nonsense. she knows that anybody who understands anything about the bill or any employment law will know you can't start in the morning and go to the tribunal in the afternoon. now, mr speaken in the afternoon. now, mr speaker, we know she's not a lawyer. she's clearly not a leader. if she keeps on like this, she is going to be the next lettuce. >> kemi badenoch. >> kemi badenoch. >> and donald trump has signed the laken riley act, the first legislation to get his signature since his return to the white house. the bill is named after a georgia nursing student who was murdered last year by a venezuelan man. it requires the detention of unauthorised immigrants accused of theft and violent crimes. >> the law i'm signing today, the department of homeland security will be required to detain all illegal aliens who have been arrested for theft,

burglary, larceny, shoplifting, assaulting a police officer, murder or any crime that results in death or serious injury. in addition, for the first time even addition, for the first time ever, this act gives state governments the ability to sue the federal government for immediate injunctive relief, if any future administration ever again refuses to enforce the immigration laws of the united states. >> and those are the latest headlines. it's time for headliners. >> 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, usually with three top comedians, we've got a great show. oh, i won't say who that was about. so this
