Now its time for headliners. Its time for headliners. Hello and welcome to headliners, your one stop shop for tomorrows newspapers. Im the floor manager , andrew doyle the floor manager, andrew doyle and my retail assistants are josh howie and nick dixon. How are you both. 7 very good. Willing to serve. Very good. Willing to serve. Very good. Willing to serve. I see you very much as the mrs. Slocombe of headliners. Yes, and you should see my cat. Very good. Nick, are you well . Im well. I cant really imagine you as a retail manager or whatever it was or even any normal job. Really . No. Well, i did work in a call centre for a long time. Really . Really. Really . Really. I cant sort of see that. What did you do . Did you start quoting shakespeare and, no. Quoting shakespeare and, no. I did my job very, very well. My i did my job very, very well. My job was just basically to be shouted at by people who are angry at the Interest Rates that were rather extortionate. And now you can be shouted out by gender ideologues online. There we go. Thats my weekend. Anyway. Lets have a look at those front pages. The daily mail is leading with thieves hit shops, a thousand times a day. Shoplifting is through the roof. Apparently. The telegraph rwanda threat is pouring migrants into ireland. The front cover of the times has m15 checks for academics to kerb threat from china , and the mirror is leading china, and the mirror is leading with save our cup replays. The with save our cup replays. The Financial Times says bps £31 billion offer from anglo prompts backlash from a africa and investors and whatever that means. And the eye has worlds first jab to stop. Skin cancer bnngs first jab to stop. Skin cancer brings for hope patients. And wheres the guardian gone . Why have they gone with josh . Oh, the guardian has gone with. Well, first of all, theres a little story here i just want to say about the pm urged to write off fines for unpaid carers. This is a travesty. Like how theres about basically about 150,000 unpaid carers who who earn over like evenin carers who who earn over like even in some cases, like £1 over this £151 a week, theyre allowed to earn. Yes. And now theyre having to like repay tens of thousands of pounds. So the Prime Minister has been urged to just wipe it out quickly before we get into the situation, because these people are saving us, the country, billions of pounds a year by doing it. And were encouraged by cameron and the big society and all of that. So i hope they sort that out. But yes, this is the big story of the day. Yusuf in peril, as greens say, they will back no confidence motion. So this is a bunch of white people trying to put him out of work. Is that what it is . This is just systemic white, white, white. Its just systemic racism. Nick. Is that right . As humza yousaf been hard done by, no, he hasnt, but although whats disturbing to me. So its this bute House Coalition agreement, right, with the greens, now hes gone back on it and hes got rid of them because their policies were so mad, even for the snp, that they were they were alienating the electorate. Yes. And whats disturbing to me is that actually, his theyre saying that hes capitulated to socially and economic conservatives voices in the snp. So, so he sort of wasnt leftie enough for these people. Thats whats disturbing to me, because youd want him to go for his hate crime law or his white speech. That youve alluded to. Hes actually going to go because of some sort of, you know, fallout with the even more mad greens. Now, at this stage, though, in his leadership, can he really sustain this , you know, with the sustain this, you know, with the general election coming up, with labour likely to take a lot of the snps seats, this coalition falling apart , isnt it falling apart, isnt it basically time over for humza . Well, this could be argued to be actually good politics for him by breaking that agreement. Its kind of putting the blame on them. Hes saying that that it was kind of it seems like its like its all their fault, all of this stupid mental stuff that theyve that the road that theyve gone down over the last few days. The hate bill. Yeah. But it wasnt gender self id, he could sort of hes trying to sort of put it on them and 90, to sort of put it on them and go, no, it was they made us do that though because he was what hes trying. He was justice secretary when the hate crime bill was was orchestrated, he was behind it. It says here that the catalyst to this was to do with, the snp abandoning their target to cut Carbon Emissions by 75 by 2030. The greens were angry about that, obviously, because it says its in the name, right . Dont want angry greens. Dont want angry greens. You dont want angry greens, but and now the greens have basically ruled out any kind of, you know, working with yousaf on any legislation in the future. I think hes going to stand down. Nick. Yeah. Although snp leaders have a history of sort of trying to cling on, dont they . They do. But youre right. I mean, it doesnt look good as you say. Vote of no confidence. So close to the election. Yeah. Its not binding. Thats the thing thats different. Yeah. But its it doesnt look good. Its the same thing with, you know, when thatcher went technically she won. And everything, but it was too close. It didnt look good. If it looks as though theres no confidence in him, he wont be. Yeah, i think i dont think he can survive this. And i think its quite exciting that that scotland is going to leave this one party state situation very soon. Although that straight to labour which is well, im not saying thats good but you know, anyway lets move on now to the front of better. Exactly well, lets move on to the front of fridays daily mail. Nick what are they leading with . Quite a different story. This. Yeah. The mail have thieves hit shops a thousand times a day. This is like about the shoplifting epidemic. Theyre calling it quite reasonably, because its 430 plus thousand offences in the last 12 months. Its up by more than the third. Its up by more than the third. Its the highest since current records began in march 2003, 2003. More commonly referred to as 2003. So and theyre pointing out its been effectively decriminalised. And i hate to say it again, but its a narco tyranny. I say it every night now because thats what we live in, wherein the innocent, to punish the guilty, go free. Thats the system we have now. Thats the system we have now. Thieves have noticed and they just investigate. Are they . No ones investigating this kind of stuff. Youre allowed to steal. Youre allowed to steal. And the thing is, the shoplifting industry, for want of a better word, is massive. Theres all these shoplifters. All of the prices have to go up to compensate because the stores cant do anything about it, costing the average person about £59 a year, right. Extra. So yeah, £2 billion being lost. And, the government, like anyone, wants to focus on the kind of burglaries or car theft or stabbings, even though theyre saying that theyre going down, but other people are going, no, youre just changing the way that youre measuring stuff. So actually its going up. But is the solution just to do what they do in new york, which basically say they say, you know, basically you can steal up to 1,000 and its not a crime. We wont bother going after you. Like, could people have been going into the stores just pouring stuff into their baskets, knowing theyre not going to be . But now you get security tags or you get like those encased things like toothbrushes, bread or whatever it is. So but our jails are full, so what are they . Even if they did actually do something about it. So what . Nick is the solution . Because to be fair, its very difficult to catch shoplifters particular. If theyre good, you cut off their hand when they steal. Maybe we go full saudi arabia. We have to. You have to go full singapore, full saudi arabia, life imprisonment for stealing, cutting off hands. Then you only have to do it once. Thats the thing. About twice. Twice to get both hands. Twice to get both hands. But you know, usually one hand will do it. You know, imagine, you know, especially in the west with our software, you see one person nicks a toothbrush, loses a hand, you go, and we do it publicly. We chop the hand off in the pubuc we chop the hand off in the public square. Yeah. So everyone can see its a cathartic day out at the same time. Yeah, its good for the kids. Sell tickets. Interesting. Interesting. Yes, but im glad this channel is moving in the right direction. Its a new service for gb news subscribers thats going to be clipped up. By the way, and used in all you say that that means were moving to the right. I say were just taking on board saudi arabias idea. Thats quite a lefty idea, isnt it . To follow. Its a its a cultural appropriation. Oh, well theres that. I hadnt oh, well theres that. I hadnt thought of that. All right. Okay, well, maybe we just chop peoples hands off in private. Okay. Were going to move on now to the daily mail, nick, have you got. Oh, no, not the daily mail. Sorry. The telegraph. Telegraph. Josh, you got this, rwanda threat is pounng got this, rwanda threat is pouring migrants into ireland. So this is sort of. Is it wrong to be funny that its funny . I dont know. Look, if you find, why dont you try and make the joke . And if its wildly, its just, you know, theres something. Theres something. Yeah. Theres something. Yeah. Its inappropriate. Ill tell you. Its not that its inappropriate. Its just that theres something ironic here because as, ireland is arguably a bit wokester than the uk certainly is. And so whats happening is that the threat of rwanda, it has pushed in, 80 of the recent Asylum Seekers have crossed from the uk basically. Well, probably Northern Irish border. Right. Yeah. And looking like that, theyre doing so because of fear of the rwanda scheme. Yes. So its sort of its some sort of proof of concept arguably for rwanda. And what youre going to then see is countries that are criticising the uks. And im not saying that we are necessarily taking the right path, but certainly other countries are going no, we shouldnt be doing this. Yes. Then theyre going to get theyre going to have this issue and then theyre going to be like, oh, maybe thats not so bad. Yeah. And of course, this crossing of the border at the north, i mean, thats what everyone said when it came to the eu. People were worried about this idea of having a soft border there. Its sort of amusing, unintended consequence. But they need their own rwanda bill. Thats the obvious answer, isnt it . Everyones gonna have to have their own. Not going to happen, though, is it . I mean, the government, the dublin set, i mean, theyre all, you know, they dont want to tackle this problem. They dont think it is a problem. Theyd rather you look the other way. Well theres huge pressure when you watch those videos on on twitter of irish people getting sick of the situation. So theres almost even more pressure than in this country. Well, there is, because of the weight, the degree of migration. Its 140,000 immigrants arrived in ireland in the year up to 23. That. So thats tripled the total population because the population is much smaller. Yeah. Yeah. Its only 40,000 irish people. Not now. Theres 140,000. Is that right . I dont know, maths might be slightly off there. Josh, were going to finish this section with the front of fridays times. Nick what have they got. Yeah theyve got m15 checks for academics to kerb threat from china. Weve talked about this before but this is oliver dowden, deputy pm, and hes met the vice chancellors of 24 leading universities, including oxford and cambridge , where you oxford and cambridge, where you probably went and i, i just had some weird humour to the story, but i went with a weird insult even. I but i went with a weird insult even. I know you went there as well, but anyway, the director of m15s got involved. Theyve taken a day off, listing their pronouns and that kind of thing, and theyve decided to actually do some m15 work and theyre all worried about it, and theyre just saying we need to get more realistic about the threat from china infiltrating our universities. Well, i mean, its very real. You know, weve had complaints before about Chinese Investment in american universities. British universities, where the government, the Chinese Government, the Chinese Government is actually saying, oh, you cant teach that because thats against our values and theyre going along with it because of the money. Were not talking here necessarily about ideological influence. Were literally talking about stealing. Yes. So, and someone put a thread up recently up which was compared weapons in china. And like you know, fighter jets and you see the american version and then you see the chinese version and its like exactly the same. And its like exactly the same. And its obviously pilfered and theyve left the flag on it. Theyve left the wrong flag on. Theres also a funny story about a school thats been investigated in, in manchester, which is basically like a Conspiracy Theory school, allegedly. Thats what its saying here. But one of the theories that theyre teaching is your favourite theory about eating cockroaches. Eating cockroaches. Well, theyre going to make us eat the bug. Oh, eating their teaching that in school youll eat the bugs so im just saying you could get a little job, a little side job as a teacher. Louis could come in. Thats explicit policy. Repeated adverts makers do it with Nicole Kidman and Robert Downey junior going. Bugs. Maybe there could be a secondary job there for you. They failed to get it across the line. But its not conspiracy. Its just for me. I conspiracy. Itsjust for me. I mean im vegetarian. It wouldnt happen. All right. Thats it for part one. But coming up were going to be discussing Harvey Weinsteins court case being overturned. Macron criticising rishi and how labour is now more popular with gb news viewers than the tories. Welcome back to headliners. Its your first look at fridays newspapers. Im andrew doyle and contractually obliged to join me. Are josh howie and nick dixon. Otherwise, we wouldnt have them anywhere near the studio. Were going to begin studio. Were going to begin with the times now. Harvey weinsteins lawyers hailed this a great day for america. Is that correct , josh, no, not really. Correct, josh, no, not really. Theyve got an interesting framing of this here. Yeah. Harvey weinsteins lawyer said great day for america after his rape conviction was overturned. Now hes not out of jail. Hes also been, convicted for another rape in california. But what theyre saying is, because dunng theyre saying is, because during the trial they bought in, this has been argued, extraneous information about him being a bad person. Yes. Then that meant bad person. Yes. Then that meant that he was judged more on that rather than the actual rape allegation. So this is an error from the original trial judge . Yes. So theyre now going to be and now the new york state is saying they are going to retrial it, there. So but the judge, not the judge, the, weinsteins lawyer came out and said, this is a great day because i dont care who the defendant is, if theyre a former president of theyre a former president of the United States or a hollywood producer, theyre going to get off, is the gist. I mean , the gist is everyone i mean, the gist is everyone is entitled to a fair trial. Thats, i suppose , but thats, i suppose, but normally you would sort of go, it doesnt matter if youre a poor guy with nothing to sort of frame it like that. It doesnt matter if youre super powerful, youre going to get the law will work in your favour. Its a what are your thoughts . Well, you missed the exact phrase. His own attorney said , phrase. His own attorney said, it doesnt matter if youre a former president of United States or the most storeyed hollywood producer of our generation. I love that he referred to his own client like that. Yeah, i mean, weinsteins got a lot to answer for because because of this one person. Like everyone around the world, all men were suddenly like evil, remember . Because. Because, i mean, because there was quite a legitimate complaint here. But then he just got so out of control with the metoo movement. Just just heterosexual men, wasnt it . Youd be insulted in like, a green room in preston because Harvey Weinstein did something, you know, ten years ago in hollywood. Yeah, he became like the figurehead of this. Its kind of like the dei movement took off off the back of the george floyd murder. It was a massive overreaction. So so, you know, hes got a lot to answer for in that case. But yeah, you shouldnt have trial by media. If youve done something wrong, you should be punished. But it shouldnt be this trial by media. Is it possible to have a retrial . Everyone knows about this trial. How would they get the jury . I mean, i dont i mean, the thing is, rape is notoriously difficult to prove anyway, because. Because most rapes do happen between people who know each other rather than what you. So a lot of it comes down to just the jury deciding whos whos telling, telling the truth. Right . Which is thats almost impossible. Yeah. Which is probably why they needed to sort of go, hey, look at all this other bad stuff. So but thats what messed up the trial. Thats what messed up the trial. And the way that theyre sort of saying theyre called witnesses who allegations were not related to the charges at hand. Yeah. Its like, well, i think that there was definitely things that were related also to the charges at hand, i. E. Him overstepping himself sexually in peoples presences and whatnot. It is a difficult one. Nick. Nick. Yeah, and as you say, it is very hard to get Rape Convictions and im, you know, so im not and im not saying weinstein is a great guy either, but im just saying it should be fair and not based on previous reputation. Okay. Well, this now from the independent french president , Emmanuel Macron has denounced rishi sunak plans to send Asylum Seekers to rwanda. What a surprise, josh. I mean , but surprise, josh. I mean, but surely the french are the ones who are the most culpable for all of this, right . Yeah, so they dont want to, but i think hes actually helping out. So look the tories yeah. Macron criticises sunak rwanda plan as a politics of cynicism and betrayal of european values, which is, well , european values, which is, well, exactly. But also thats just going to play into sunak. So im wondering if sunak said, could you please make the statement . Because as soon as the french come out, as soon as macron says, you british people, even the most die hard, sort of far lefty, let everybody come over, you know. Hey, france, stop telling us what to do. Get these people on a plane. So i think its i think thats thats my conspiracy. Nick, can you explain to me why is rishi sunak just persisting with this as the thing . This is his swan song. Hes going out on the rwanda thing. Why . Why this so much . Its a kind of sunk cost fallacy thing, isnt it . Hes. Hes gotten this far with it, so now he has to finish it. Hes made it one of his pledges. Theres a pride thing. Theres a pride thing. Well, hes made well, its just that now if he would, he would look terrible if he if he backed down, hes made it one of his flagship policies, if not his flagship policies, if not his one flagship policy. I know ive said thats bizarre because its such a hard policy to get through, and it doesnt really register with voters as far as know. It doesnt, does it . It doesnt, does it . But then again, neither does the smoking ban or all that stuff about a levels as well, isnt it . Hes not been politically astute. Its one of the big problems with rishi. Yeah. Why is this i dont get im on my way out. Im just going to make every kid take maths, and im going to make sure that no one can smoke. Thats the legacy, is it . Yes. Its just not great at politics. But, which is a problem for a Prime Minister, as josh says, doesnt mean macron can be criticising it. Yeah, how dare you french . But also when he says its cynical, i dont really get that ineffective. Maybe i dont see. Also, he says were creating a geopolitics of cynicism, or we are creating a geopolitics of cynicism. I knew you were going to do the accent, but my you cant do accents. Josh, i thought that was actual footage from macron, though. The geopolitics of it sounds like a lower low. But but but the point is we have geopolitics. I dont first of all, i dont even know what geopolitics of cynicism is, but i know weve already got it. Whatever it is, weve got it. Weve got geopolitics of cynicism, surely harry potter, but harry potter and the geopolitics of cynicism. The thing is, its all about sovereignty. Andrew doyle fanfiction. Yeah because j. K. Rowling retweeted you. Look at you getting all confident. Confident. Oh goodness, nick, send them back to france. Not back to france, but to just france, back to france. Because yeah, its the whole point is about sovereignty and us controlling our borders. So why do we care what france says . We got out of the eu. We certainly shouldnt care what macron says. Your european values. Your european values. No more your accents. Josh. Right were going to move on now to this one. This is the telegraph on friday a new poll. And i cant quite believe this. This is revealed that labour is more popular with viewers of gb news than the tories. Yes. Another shocking low for the tories. But it does contradict the idea that this is a right wing channel. This is a left wing channel. This is a left wing channel, its a left wing channel. Ive always said laboun channel. Ive always said labour, more popular with gb news viewers than tories, and its jl partners surveyed 518 current and recent viewers of the channel. Q all sorts of jokes on twitter then about the number, but basically there was an 11 point cushion over the tories. The labour had, but it tories. The labour had, but it depended it was it was lower with current viewers, but it was the gap was higher with recent viewers. So i dont quite understand. So tories were doing a bit better with current viewers. Not quite sure what the significance of that is, but the point is it was pretty close. Labour were winning and that does contradict the idea that that were a right wing channel and things like that. The only difference was on immigration. There was more trust in the tories and labour, who are obviously going to be absolutely nastiest on that. Does it mean that or does it mean that the tories have let people down so badly that people are going to go to the labour instead . It does mean that youre right. And of course, tories arent right wing in any way ehhen arent right wing in any way either. So theyre just two left wing parties. But i am still surprised because starmer is so awful and hes going to bring in euthanasia. Can i just give you my take on this . Yes, if you must. I am so good at my job that i have bought over the gb news solely by myself. Yes, the gb news viewers, to my way of thinking. Your left leaning. Your left leaning. Thats what. Look, guys. Thank you. Thank you so much. Its actually believing in me. And what i think about. Youve become increasingly right wing since being on the channel. Youve been over like, then theyve gone. I dont disagree with the pudding. Stick with the left. The proof is in the pudding. The proof is in the pudding. You become more right wing as you get older. This is no ones fault. This is no ones fault. By using a red tie, it doesnt mean that youre still socialist. I wore this tonight in honour of people. The gb news viewers coming along on this journey. Okay, josh howie journey. Lets move on. Okay. And for all you lefties out there, we know theres a lot were going to stick with the telegraph just to stick with the telegraph just to annoy you. And president s could be immune from prosecution. Josh, what does this mean . Yeah, even if assassinating rival trumps lawyers argue so , rival trumps lawyers argue so, there are two court cases going at the moment with trump, one is in new york about the paying this hush money. The other one is gone to the us supreme court, where theyre basically the argument is that the gist of it is theyre going it doesnt matter that trump, whether he did this , the hush money thing. Did this, the hush money thing. No, no, not the hush money that he sort of undermined the election. Yes. Thats basically he could do whatever he wants. So hes the president because hes the president. So theyre trying to sort of say, look, he could theyre almost saying that, that, that we should be grateful that he didnt assassinate biden. Yeah. Nick can i just clarify on this . But so Ketanji Brown jackson, who was obviously one of the democrat appointees on the supreme court, she said, you know that you cant do this because if you say theres president ial immunity across the board, youre turning the oval office into a centre of criminality, even though you might disagree with them on many things. Isnt that thats true, isnt it . Yeah. Well, my biggest worry is the dems realise this so they can start assassinating people you know, they, like trump will just say youd do it as a joke, but theyd actually probably do it. But, satirical content there of course. But, yeah. But as, the judge alito here points out, using a Navy Seal Team to assassinate a rival was implausible. Well, thats not really quite strong enough, is it . You want it to be absolutely ruled out, really, dont you . But yeah. He says he says it would never actually come up and wouldnt happen. Isnt it strange that these conversations are even being had in the democrats like to raise all these weird points, dont they, to try and get get the idea in peoples heads that trump is going to be a dictator and hes going to kill people. Though trump did once famously say he could shoot someone in the street and people would still love him, he did say that. And he also said he wanted to be dictator for a day, didnt he . Yeah, and thatd be great. Yeah, and thatd be great. So its not long enough. I mean, its just its just very strange that theyre even having these conversations. I think. Well, thats thats what the politics in america has been pushed towards. Yeah but it is slightly terrifying because if he does come back, it would be thered be a lot of vengeance, a lot of anger. I think hes definitely coming under the scope of official acts. Its called because they might need to use it, i suppose, against a Foreign Government or something. I thought the whole point of the american political system having a Different Branch of the executive and the judiciary and the separate. Yeah, its separate so that you dont get this kind of, you know, exploitation. Well see. Obviously not. Okay. Well, look, thats part two done. But do come back because were going to be discussing couples having children becoming culturally unusual. Children becoming culturally unusual. And the uks first ever unusual. And the uks first ever memorial to lgbt armed forces. You wont want to welcome back to headliners. Its your first look at fridays newspapers. Were going to kick off with the daily mail. Now dutch woman suffering from depression. Whats going on here, nick . This is actually really depressing. Its horrible. So its physically healthy. Dutch woman hopes to become the latest person in the country to end her life by euthanasia. On her 34th birthday, and shes named yolanda fun. Ironically, in a sort of grim doom about that for another two minutes. Its just horrible, isnt it . I mean, come on. Sorry. Well, this is a big issue for me because people dont realise this is coming to britain as well. So she she suffers from an eating disorder, depression, autism and mild learning difficulties. And shes saying her lifes you know, not worth living. So she wants to die. But this is so sad. But its coming to britain. Starmer wants to bnngin to britain. Starmer wants to bring in assisted dying. And ive said this before, but weve seen it in canada. A woman 41 seen it in canada. A woman 41 years old, she said she had fibromyalgia. She wanted to die. It turns out she was just poor. She told friends privately. She was euthanized as was a young autistic man who was being bullied. And we heard the other day in scotland, it may become legal for 16 year olds with anorexia to receive assisted dying under this new bill. If it goes through, this is the kind of thing youll be looking at. People think, oh, its, you know, its for old people. I understand people suffer a lot and people get emotional and say, we dont want that to happen, which i totally understand, but its going to be so bad. Canada killed 13,500 people in 2022 with euthanasia. This is whats coming for canada. The canadian government were advertising it like its a service we can offer you, you know, have you thought about killing yourself . You know, people theyve been pressurising and they think, right. I understand that there is a debate to be had about people who are very, very old, in terrible pain, complete lack of dignity. I dont know where i stand on this actually, but there is a debate to be had and a legitimate one. But were talking about a perfectly healthy young individual who has been for whatever reason, but their Mental Health has now become synonymous with physical health. Or theres been a line crossed where the two are seen. No, theyre not the same. But but this is what has happened over the last few years, which also have seen in this country in terms of, people on benefits, but a lot of them just for mental. But we also know that everyone who got over their Mental Health issues knows that it can pass well in the midst of it. You dont realise the argument is that it wont pass. And theres a crazy quote from this persons psychiatrist that told her said, theres nothing more we can do for you. Its never going to get any better. What . For me, it would be like just struck that that psychiatrist off the register, like he should or she should not be working , ever be like he should or she should not be working, ever be said. But, also, its 5. 1 of all deaths in the country are from euthanasia. Now in, denmark. And theyre saying that it could even be more than that because some of them are unreported. If its going to be that, nick. And if starmer wants to bnng nick. And if starmer wants to bring it back, does it do you think he wants that kind of scenario though . I think i think that scenario is inevitable. People say wed have safeguarding. Why would we have safeguarding. Why would we have safeguarding . Why are we different to these countries . Okay, were not quite as absurdly liberal or left as canada, perhaps not as holland, but were not far off. We have nothing in our secular materialist culture to say, no, no, well stop at this line, whereas there isnt a line. Right . Very sad. Okay were going to move on to the times now. Story about venice. Its always fun. Yeah. Protests of venice, it becomes the first city to charge a tourist entry fee. So there, from today, you have to pay 5,5 to get in and you get a qr code. You go through gates code. You go through the gates because theyve been sort of inundated. The citys over. Its over. its over. Its over. Yeah. Its over. Yeah. Overthinking but actually the interesting thing is that its not really for scum like us. Its for or speaking personally , not you. Speaking personally, not you. Obviously, youre cultured and youve probably been there a bunch of times, right . But its actually about me. Obviously ive not been, but, its for really locals, the italians. And thats where the argument gets a little bit more squiffy, because i dont mind paying ,5 to get into this city that i havent contributed to. But arguably hauans contributed to. But arguably italians do pay their taxes. Italians do pay their taxes. Some of them will go towards venice and its upkeep. So its almost like theyve already paid. But this is who its really aimed at. And its coming in on certain days where hauans in on certain days where italians will go and see the pope if hes doing something or, you know, something. You know, something. The pope in venice. The pope in venice. Yeah. Yeah. One day a year. One day a year. Right. I mean, but, nick, you know, in a way it is overcrowded. Its, you know, theyve got to do something, i suppose. Is this, like the equivalent of the congestion charge . Just clear out some people. Well, i wonder if theres a general movement against tourism. We saw the other day tenerife was protesting because they dont want tourists. And we see now venice. I think this see now venice. I think this might be a general move. If you look at, you know, the climate madness on the left and then you look at concerns about immigration on the right, i sort of feel like people dont want people and cost of living, cost of travel. I feel like maybe tourism wont become a thing of the past, but might reduce bit. Isnt tourism places depend on it for their economy, you know. Yeah, thats the paradox. I mean, tenerife needs tourism, but they dont really want the tourists. But we have that up in the lakes. Its the same. You know, we dont really same. You know, we dont really like the off comers, but we do need the money. So. But does tenerife have anything else but tourism. They have a rich manufacturing industry. Oh do they know exactly. Okay, lets move to on the telegraph now. And, this is an odd one about having children. Now, we should go to our resident expert on that, shouldnt we . Is nick anneliese coming to me . Perfect so, couples having. I actually am a bit of an expert on this topic, so couples having children purely academically, couples having children could become culturally unusual, warns tory mp. And its miriam cates who has talked about this kind of thing. Shes talking about it at ark, actually alliance for responsible citizenship, jordan petersons thing. I went to an event last year, but shes talking about how we could even end up in a situation where its culturally unusual to have children, but we have to Start Talking about the solutions to the birth rate issue. So its well known the birth rates are catastrophically really low at the moment. Absolutely. Its 1. 49. In britain. Its terribly low. It needs to be more like two. Speak for yourself. Whats that . Five well, thats it, but actually 5. 0, baby. But if you look at the birth rate average of this panel its 1. 67 because of this panel its1. 67 because i checked. So its still low. You actually calculated that. I calculated because i knew that would come up. You dont know how many illegitimate children i have. Nick. You didnt even bother to research. I didnt i sort of, sort of prejudicially assumed that you didnt have any, but but, but yeah, josh has about 20. Andrew experimented in his youth. I counted your children, but ive got minus ones , so. All ive got minus ones, so. All right. The point is, it is a massive issue. Its the birth rate. And for a long time, our sort of leaders were obsessed with malthus and malthusianism. And they thought we had too high a population. Its actually a population. Its actually catastrophically low. Doing very well in israel, doing well in a few places, but terribly low in korea, japan, etc. England italy is very low. But china, i mean, they had their one child policy. Its actually getting low in china. Yeah, because partly because of the catastrophic one child policy. So its low almost everywhere. And the idea and miriam cates pointing out here that immigration doesnt completely work. Thats only completely work. Thats only part of it. And actually immigration is a temporary fix because immigrants get old as well. They they need to be looked after and got the dependency issue. They also they start to have fewer kids, longer in the country as well, or a wealthy country. But isnt it the case that all wealthy countries end up experiencing this problem . They do, and no ones solved it, but at least shes saying we need to start looking at how to solve it, because immigration is a temporary fix, and people get squeamish when you talk about solving it. I was at that debate. I think ive said before with David Aaronovitch and matt goodwin and David Horovitz was going, oh, he wants you to have more children. Like it was a kind of a weird fetish on on matts part, but its like we need to start seriously talking about it because its almost the Biggest Issue i face. Josh, youve done your bit. I have done my no. So you dont have to worry about and i did your bit did you. Yeah. Yeah. I mean ive done, you know, my, my two, two of mine can cover your. Oh i see what you mean. It sounded a bit more sinister than that. Didnt, didnt say your name or anything. So tell me, josh. Yeah so tell me, josh. Yeah no, it is a problem. Theres a in the future. The argument is that were going to be like begging at the moment. Were trying to keep migrants. Oh my god, in the future, ideas that were going to be begging migrants to be coming over to keep going, this economic ponzi scheme that we find ourselves in, and in terms of her saying that thats not the solution , that thats not the solution, then its not necessarily true, but because shes saying, oh, well , but because shes saying, oh, well, countries are going to want their own youth, but its like, thats not that doesnt mean theyre necessarily just because they theyre going to lose out. It doesnt mean we would lose out. But i think the issue, the solution is to twofold. Number one is make it easier for families in terms of tax tax breaks. Tax breaks for me specifically would be good. Also i just want to float this alcopops , bring them back. Alcopops, bring them back. Yes. Yes. Teenage pregnancies will be through the roof. Youre welcome. Nick, thats not a bad idea. Nick, thats not a bad idea. You also have to get rid of contraception as well. When or its not banned. And get rid of the word means and get rid of abortion. But youre right as well. Yeah, competition for immigrants is another thing thats actually going to happen as well. Presumably so yeah. Okay. Well lets move on to the guardian now. And gays in the military. Josh uk first ever memorial to lgbt Armed Forces Personnel to lgbt Armed Forces Personnel to be built. So this is called fighting with pride. So its a sort of a little pun there. Yeah. Yeah. You know, and its going to be built in staffordshire, theyve got a for grant 350 grand. Its an interesting one because, whether homosexuality is its sort of an identity in terms of like, you know , statues for like, gurkhas know, statues for like, gurkhas or something. Yeah. You know what i mean . So its whether what i mean . So its whether homosexuality in itself is like this separate identity. But, i dont think it is that, though i think the point of this really is that so many gay people served in the military when it was illegal to do so, and faced all sorts of consequences as a result. So its a kind of way to acknowledge that the navy, i think the navy was all gay anyway, so i think you had to be gay to join the navy. But but, you know, this is this is, i think thats the idea behind it. But i understand your point that i dont, you know, because theyve always been gay people in the military, if theyre just soldiers going back to greek times, wasnt it like they deliberately encouraged that . Because then they fought harder . Yeah. There was a whole army of gay couples, the idea being that one of them, if theyd have sex with the other one while they were fighting. No. The idea being that if one of them died, the other one would fight twice as hard. Twice. This is the theban idea, the hardest. Im sorry about him. Im sorry about him. Im sorry about him. Its homophobic. The hardest, toughest soldiers in that army were with the gays. Yeah, my. A slight issue with the title fighting with pride. Sounds kind of like youre punching a gay at a march, doesnt it . I mean, fighting it sounds fascistic. It sounds like youre against pride. You know. Pride. The march. Right . Im familiar. Im familiar. Yeah, you know it, you dont necessarily go, but im not saying that. But also, these recommended an apology from the preamp. Do we really need more apologies for things . There has been an apology. There has been an apology. Thats what i didnt understand. Like they did apologise last yean like they did apologise last year, but really, it seems like apologies. Theyre saying they want 50 million for reparations for because there were homosexuals who lost out on careers. Who, who . Yeah, but thats what i mean. Yeah so this seems to be a sort of, opening salvo to get that money for them. Theyre saying were going to do this, i think i think this is to call attention in an interesting way. If individuals have actually lost people who are still alive. Im not talking about reparations. In the past, people are still alive who have lost out financially because of stupid laws that should never have been in place. There is a case there. Yeah. And veterans in general are often treated very badly, i want to say so. Fair enough. Okay. Were going to finish this section with the telegraph. Excuse me. Aberdeen has defended its decision to drop the vowels. Decision to drop the vowels. Whats this about . Yes. Dropping vowels hasnt done us any harm. Insist aberdeen. So you pronounce it aberdeen. So you pronounce it aberdeen. I know you do. I know, but aberdeen. But it looks like aberdeen. But it looks like aberdeen. Aberdeen. Yeah, its aberdeen. And who is aberdeen . And who is aberdeen . Its a investment company. An asset manager. Right. And theyre a ftse 250 company. And theyre a ftse 250 company. And theyre saying theyre being bullied. Its corporate bullying bullied. Its corporate bullying because they keep getting told off about their rubbish name and theyre sort of complaining actually. Ironically the missing vowels spell e and thats what theyre doing. Theyre sort of moaning about how would you do this with an individual . But apparently with companies its fine. And so theyre annoyed that theyre getting bullied for their ridiculous. I mean, is it i mean, you remember when Weight Watchers became ww and no one really knew what it meant . Did it . I didnt even know that wonder woman. I remember when wwf became wwe. Thats still annoys me. You know the rest. Exactly. Youve got to be careful with this stuff. And aberdeen, it looks it looks daft. Aberdeen. Yeah, but we shouldnt mock it because theyre getting very sensitive about the mockery now. Well its insane that this is the first time ive seen someone sort of complain. Like microaggressions towards a corporation. Hes going like, as you were saying, that quote there. But apparently with companies its different. There. But apparently with companies its different. Yes. Companies its different. Yes. Its different. Its a company. Yeah, of course its different. Yeah, of course its different. But theyre getting upset because stupid Aberdeen People are irritable bowel syndrome. I know, and theyre calling their chief executive, stephen bird. And this whole story, by bird. And this whole story, by the way, came from sir douglas flint. The splint. It was flint. Sorry. Sorry, douglas. Well, look, we dont want to hurt anyones feeling. We dont want to hurt the feelings of big, Massive Companies as they come in in five, fire 500 people and then suddenly give themselves a big pay rises. Yeah, well, it is. Its getting marketing , its getting marketing, though, isnt it . Its kind of working for publicity. Were talking about it. Okay. We are. Okay. We are. We are indeed all those labour voters out there. Well done guys. Done guys. Well look, thats part three germ. Please do stay tuned. Were going to be talking about sam smith whoever they is headlining the bbc proms and how scientists want to grow vegetables using human urine. Stay tuned welcome back to headliners your first look at fridays newspapers. Were going to begin now with the telegraph and sam smith at the proms. Yes, sam smith, the headline prom, but bbc insists the show will be appropriate , this is will be appropriate, this is them sort of making the proms a little bit more popular. And theyve got this special sort of, they say appropriate because sam smith is known for doing all these sexually explicit things in the past. And with the grammys, there was a bit of hoo ha about it. Yeah, thats all good for me. Whats interesting about this article is this is from the telegraph. Is are they going to refer to him . Hes a him. Hes a bloke as they them. And how are they going to avoid it. Because he identifies as non binary. But in this article they say, well no they dont they, they refer to him just constantly as smith basically. Smith basically. But someone in here, sam jackson, director of radio three, says sam smith and their music. So three, says sam smith and their music. So sam, old sam three, says sam smith and their music. So sam, old sam jackson, music. So sam, old sam jackson, director of radio three, is still going with the non binary ridiculous. They them this the article itself. Theres not a single a pronoun is it . Its quite funny actually. The telegraph go further than josh has said. They go because ive recorded them all. They go. The pop star, the grammy winning singer, the singer, the singer, smith. So they do everything they can to just avoid. Yeah. Its hilarious. Absolute cowardice. It is better than using it though, isnt it . Its better than using it. Is it the mailing . People just use the pronoun okay i do, thats true. They should just say he they them is not real. They should say he. Do you mean sam smith should say he they they the telegraph. The plural. That is the telegraph. Yeah. But journalists should say. Yeah, but now i thought you were saying sam smith because these are they. Its very this is the problem. Its very confusing. It actually creates. Have you ever tried reading an article which continually refers to sam smith as a by the time youre halfway through . It doesnt make any sense. You dont know who hes usually about a third in. They mess it up themselves. They mess it up. They do that every time. They suddenly go back to he. But should he play the proms . Nick, this is the big thing. Because isnt the proms meant to be predominantly Classical Music, or am i just out of touch . Absolutely not. He should not play absolutely not. He should not play the proms. No no. But i mean, nor should they, nor should them. Should them be playing. No, i dont mind them. One should. One should. But but josh is serious point because when the proms started and the whole point was to try and the whole point was to try and make Classical Music more popular and to sort of bring people along, make it less popular again, right . Yeah. But isnt that the point of bringing someone like sam smiths to play . Hes a good singer. Hes an artist. Maybe hes going to do something really interesting here, some kind of hybrid and, hes. Which would be great. So brilliant. Do it. Maybe not that, though. I mean, thats the thing. I mean, thats the thing. No, hes dressed like a cello, but you cant rely on him not to show up dressed like that. Thats the thing. Thats the thing. No, but can you imagine . No, but can you imagine . You know, rule britannia. You know, rule britannia. After that, it has to be tasteful. Thats the whole point, is that hes going to do something tasteful. He says them, them, says he they they say them. They says they is saying like a like learning french. Lets move on to the independent. This is a Cambridge University story and cleaners. And by the way, its a nick youve got, you know cleaners in cambridge. Theyre called theyre called scouts. No, theyre called scouts. No, theyre called scouts. No, theyre called bedders at cambridge. At oxford they were called scouts. Well, see, thats the kind of information ill never know being, you know, now, went to a bad university, but but they actually are scouts. According to this article, yes, its Cambridge University College Hiring new cleaners after messy room photos sparked student fury. Fury andrew because they were slammed these students for their cleanliness levels in a mass email. But then they said it was a mass invasion of privacy because there was their horrible rooms. Yeah, but they posted photographs of students rooms. Thats outrageous. That is outrageous. You know, you cant. Outrageous. You know, you cant. They were shaming. And of course, a students room is going to be messy. But basically the cleaners or the bedders or whatever were saying, you know, look how look what i have to deal with. One of them had an infestation of slugs. They were told just to open a window. Right. Work. Now thats more slugs in, doesnt it . I tell you what the scouts at oxford used to used to sort of burst in over morning, you know, turn the key and burst in very quickly. They were always spies. And i cant believe you had cleaners. I well, i cleaned up like. I cant believe you went to university. I never had a i cant believe that. I know there was no cleaners. One of the things you had, we just cleaned the stuff. But you did it yourself. Yeah. Why dont. The cleaner is partially like you get these massive industrial. Like the one in newcastle is based on an old prison and you do get a cleaner, but it doesnt mean its posh. It means theyre just cramming in. Maybe there was a communal areas, but there was no cleaners in your room. No cleaner ever came into your room. You kept your room clean. I wanted to meet the lady, the elite. That 5. 0. I knew someone who was having an affair with one of the cleaners. So they. They offered all sorts of services. Wow. Anyway, thats what it takes. Lets move on now to the daily mail. Scientists urging people to recycle their, you know , josh. Oh, gosh. Yeah. Scientists want to grow vegetables using human urine , and this is what human urine, and this is what humanity has been doing for millions of years. I imagine its got its got nitrogen in it, and, great. But its fertilising, right . But its fertilising, right . Fertiliser. Its really good stuff. And also it goes into the ocean and it creates algae. So its bad to do it that way. So its bad to do it that way. So its really its a win win. So and we could sell it instead of making artificial fertiliser. This stuff is the Natural Organic stuff. And we should we should be doing this. So nick is this one of these cyborgs things. Is this like what is it. Is that whats going on here . I mean, look at this sentence. Adults flush 132 gallons of urine on average every year, which could be converted into an odourless, Cost Effective fertiliser. It could, but should it . Thats the question. And then they also say think about all the fertiliser were missing out on now. No, i refuse to think about that. But theyre obsessed with with urine, andrew. And they say that this all ended with the advent of the sewage system. That was a good thing. That was a good thing. Lets not lets not go back. We might have lost. We might have lost out. Well, so what is the benefit . Is it just about money . Is that whats going on here . They want you to eat the urine. I dont want you to eat zero urine and be happy. They want you to grow vegetables with the urine. You will own nothing and you will eat the urine. Ive got loads of urine and im willing to donate it for free. I mean, ijust think free. I mean, i just think it could be that this is just advancing technology and its actually a sensible use of otherwise wasteful resources. Maybe thats the case, or maybe theres Something Else going on here. I think its great. Theres a method here you want to add nine parts water viewers to your urine, and then do on the vegetables. Give us a call, join gb news members and ill eat your courgettes with your urine. Joseph. As he does it, hes got so many children. Hes poor. He has to recycle his urine. But it says by the way, when they put it through the processes they have to do, theres a 99 drop in antibiotic resistant genes. What about that 1 . Yeah. Wheres that going . Its a very good question, nick. We dont have time to answer it right now. Were going to leave you hanging on that. Thats all we got time for. But lets have another quick look at the front pages. On friday, the daily mail is running with thieves hit shops a thousand times a day. The telegraph has rwanda threat is pouring migrants into ireland and the times m15 checks for academics to kerb threats from china. The mirror is running with save our cup replays. The ft is something cup replays. The ft is something about bhp, which i dont understand. The ai is leading understand. The ai is leading with worlds first jab to stop skin cancer brings hope for patients. Those were your front pages for friday. Thats all weve got time for. Id like to thank my wonderful and rather charming guests josh howie and nick dixon. Were back tomorrow. Of course, when ill return with josh and leo kearse. And if youre watching the 5 am, repeat right now, please dont go anywhere because now it is time for breakfast. That warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. Good evening. Heres your latest gb news Weather Forecast brought to you by the met office. Its going to be another rather chilly night for many of us, and there will be some showers around and more showers to come as we go through tomorrow. Due to an area of low pressure just out in the north sea, bringing a showery theme to many places. Some further showery rain through this evening and overnight across southern parts. And here it is going to stay pretty cloudy keeping temperatures up elsewhere. There will be some clearer skies further north, albeit with a few showers around across some northern and eastern coastal parts. Perhaps the odd wintry one over the Higher Ground of scotland, where we see the skies clear. We are going to see temperatures dropping so they will fall a few degrees below freezing in some rural spots. A touch of frost for some of us first thing tomorrow morning. Otherwise, as we go through tomorrow, staying pretty cloudy across some far southern areas and watch out for some heavy, perhaps even torrential downpours across parts of the southwest into the afternoon. Elsewhere the showers across the far north and east will become more widespread, feeding inland, so a greater chance that many of us will catch one into the afternoon temperatures staying a little bit on the low side. Not feeling too bad in the sunshine, otherwise a bit cool for the time of year into saturday and there will be some showery rain feeding its way northwards across parts of england and wales. Could be a little bit heavy at times. Also, a scattering of showers for northern and western parts of scotland and northern ireland. But in between these two areas staying largely dry. There may even be some sunshine at times. Sunday brings some heavy, persistent rain to some eastern southeastern parts, but temperatures are gradually climbing by by a brighter outlook, with boxt solar sperm. Outlook, with boxt solar sperm.
