Now its time for headliners. Headliners. Hello and welcome to headliners your first look at tuesdays newspapers. Im simon evans and im joined tonight by two comedians. We have ruthless oppressor josh howie and a press self effacing leo kearse thats put our cards on the table there for this evening. I dont know why youve been labelled in this manner. I know you look mild mannered to me. You called it. You called it. You called it. You called it. Well, lets take a look at these front pages, its a brutal night, in the middle east. No truce yet , says israel. Truce yet, says israel. Telegraph netanyahu rejects hamas ceasefire. Ceasefire. 7 the guardian israel airstrikes on rafah begin despite rising ceasefire pressure i news outside genetic link raises hopes of early treatment , the hopes of early treatment, the express britain is on the verge of a house price boom. And finally, the daily star terror of the viking pussies. Those were your front pages. So, josh, were your front pages. So, josh, were going to kick off with an in depth look to the front pages with the guardian. Yeah before i get to some instant news, theres a fun, funny thing at the top. It says , theyre at the top. It says, theyre reviewing the new doctor who, and it says, more fun than its beenin and it says, more fun than its been in years. Three stars. Yes its been terrible. Its been terrible. Yes. Yes. Yes. That at least is honest, damning. I think ive had a few reviews. The funniest show ever. Two stars. The funny, funnier than hes been for years. Yeah, i think you mean to tell you it reads like a four. Yeah, exactly, but if its three stars of the guardian in years. But anyway, what are they giving. 7 what are they giving giving . What are they giving rafa. 7 yes. Well, israeli airstrikes on rafa begin despite rising ceasefire pressure , so this ceasefire pressure, so this theres obviously been this ceasefire back and forth negotiations for months now , and negotiations for months now, and i read an interesting, online analysis that there were like the americans, like everyones accepted and its going to happen. And it kind of like to put the pressure on israel, because then if it falls through, then its israels fault. So israel has responded in this in this way by basically , calling for an evacuation of parts of rafah and doing this airstrike. I think im not a strategist as such, but i think it may be this kind of like final, like, dont mess with us. If youre going to do this deal, lets do this deal. But were showing you that we still mean business because the reality is in that region , its about shows in that region, its about shows of strength. Thats what people respond to. Of course. Liam. Yeah. Of course. Liam. Yeah. And also netanyahu is sort of beholden to the right wing who support him in parliament. So hes you know, hes got to be more militaristic and aggressive than, you know , aggressive than, you know, perhaps would be would be wise. And to be honest , israel and to be honest, israel hasnt had a great conflict, theyve lost world support, particularly in america and in the uk and particularly amongst the uk and particularly amongst the younger generation. And the younger generation. And were seeing how thats playing out, in elections, you know, just, just this weekend, they havent got all the hostages back and they havent broken hamas. So, you know, i think netanyahus on his on his way out anyway. But i think if he if they go into into rafah and hit rafah hard, it could be, you know, the thing that really tips world support against them and the in america, theyre already talking about like theyre tabling motions to , to stop tabling motions to, to stop arming israel, which would be disastrous and which would have been unthinkable not very long ago. I mean, i think youre right. Netanyahu is probably winding up now anyway. But i suppose its the extent to which he he creates a forward opportunity for likud. Yeah. I mean, look, netanyahu yeah. I mean, look, netanyahu is going to go hopefully for me personally, but i think a lot of israelis feel that way. But to slightly disagree with you in that, speaking to a friend of mine whos been in israel, theres a different sense over there. Theyre the, the relatively few idf soldiers have died. They have managed to , kill died. They have managed to, kill a significant and destroy a significant number of hamas operatives. About 14,000. And so there is a feeling there that theyve that an incredibly difficult circumstances. So, of course, theres the loss around the world. But i dont think that they care that much. No theyre not, theyre not focused on. And to be fair, also, theres been fear that it might kick off in the lebanon, that they might get attacked by iran. And in fact, that at least has been kept control to to, they were attacked by iran. But i mean, yeah, they were but it didnt really israel is really dependent on world support. I mean, if america doesnt back israel, its you know, israel basically wont wont exist as it, as it does now. I dont i dont think thats true, but thats partially i mean, they america didnt support them. Well israel, israel when israel was created. Well israel survived against five armies in november. Its going to be a major election issue in november, isnt it. 7 well, lets see what the telegraph have got. The telegraph have got facebook and instagram are the source of 1 in 50 crimes. So if you dont want to be a victim of crime, dont use facebook and instagram. So fraud accounts for 40 of recorded crimes in england and wales. And banks have warned that social media, particularly facebook marketplace, is a major source of scams. I sold a car on facebook marketplace once and i like getting scammed is probably the best thing that can happen to you on facebook marketplace. Like everybody who got in touch was a complete idiot whos incapable of writing a, you know, a plausible , legible sentence. One guy i was selling this little old polo and, and he said, he said, can i use this for my work . And im like, i dont know, depends what you do. If you if you want to be an ice cream seller, then probably not. Are you saying he was trying to scam you with this nonsense . No, he wasnt trying to scam me. He was just like, oh, do you know if i can use this car for my work . Im like, ive got no idea. Would this car work in oxford . Yeah, yeah, that kind of stuff, you know . How is it at altitude . We live quite far up in the quantocks. Yeah. So yeah. Yeah. So basically, i would never buy anything. I mean, but having said that, i use ebay. I mean, these are these what sort of scams are these like sort of charity scams. So these the big thing i think its like, fake goods, a lot of fake. They are fake goods. Are they. Yeah. But ive sold a load of stuff on facebook as well, and its always worked out and im turned up. Hes hes part of the problem. Yeah, exactly. So im so loaded. So im so loaded. What have you got on the express, josh britain is on the verge of a house price boom, Mortgage Rates recently went up, but long term, obviously, theyre destined or allegedly to fall by the end of the year. Then, if the economy improves, then theyre saying that that would lead to another four years of house price increases , of house price increases, whether thats a good thing or not. Of course, thats not a good thing for people who arent on the ladder. Its the great divide, isnt it . And its and that divide has been arguably the greatest schism politically in our generation. You know, people who cant get a house, dont you know, they dont get this kind of like, oh, house prices are going up. Where should we go on our holiday, darling . You know, its like, yeah , its cruel. Its like, yeah, its cruel. Its just plain cruel. But no, ive got no sympathy for them because all the people who want to buy a house and all the people who cant afford to buy a house, all these young people, all these left wing people, all these left wing people, theyre all like, oh my god, we must have open borders. We must have the entire world just flowing over our border and needing housing when they get here. And its like that, if you increase the demand in a market, then obviously the price goes up and we dont have enough houses for the people. People . People . Well, people say we dont have enough houses for the people. Really. Weve got too many people for the houses, funnily enough. I mean, we have a story coming up, dont we, about whether or not housing crisis across europe is providing traction for the far right, as they call it. But it does seem to be one of the major, obvious renee depher sensible, you know, downstream of huge levels of mass immigration, youre going to have a supply and demand, pressure. And they dont seem to be on a big hurry to build anything, certainly not anything anyone would want to live in. But the funny thing is, i keep saying this, you know, they talk about levelling up, you know, and then they try and mitigate the house price. You know, the house price. You know, crisis in london and the south east allow that to become as dysfunctional as possible. And people will move to the north. Its already happening. Yeah. Is it is it so people people are leaving. I know people who are leaving london because they cant afford or you know, what they could possibly afford is just absolutely abysmal. I wonder what you can get on the coast in bulgaria these days. Yes anyway, finishing off we will have a quick look at the daily star to cheer ourselves up. So the daily star has terror of the viking pussies. So this is, this is more science from the daily star with some boffins they reckon, reckon is a is a scientific term. Of course. Boffins reckon ginger tomcats invaded britain with the vikings. And their ancient ancestors are the reason why moggies are so feisty, fearless and frisky today. I mean, scandinavian women are quite aggressive, so this. This would make sense. But yeah, apparently ginger tomcats came to britain with the vikings. I wasnt aware of this because the ginger gene is the same for cats as it is for people. Is it because they are . They tend to be quite feisty. Dont they . Thats thats a well, an explored trope in fiction and stage. I dont know, i mean, i think of the, theres a cat, is there . Not in scotland like a wildcat. Wildcat at first glance, a bit like a domestic tabby , but is actually genuinely tabby, but is actually genuinely really fearsome. Yeah. And i think one of the problems with them is you do get a lot of, interbreeding or they can and they can get diseases and stuff off the domestic population. So, yeah, its dangerous. The wild scottish , dangerous. The wild scottish, thats scottish cats are very diseased. Diseased. So. So. Oh i know not you not mean like not not interbreeding with the scottish population. No, not with the scottish. No, not with the scottish. Scottish population. I know weve got i know weve got strange biological procreation and we do lay eggs , those scotch eggs but its not. They must really rasp coming out as well. But those programs, what about the. I cant think of any other species that came over with the vikings. Its not. Its not like a big. Well, when you think of invasive species, you think often of i dont know why they would take those and geese, they come from canada. Why did they take their pets with them . Thats the bit that i dont really understand because, you know, theres some company on the ship. And also to ratting. Yeah. You do take a ships cat. That is true. Okay, there we go. Dick whittington. Right . God, its all there in the pantomimes if youve been paying attention, but you dont go to pantomime. Thats the front page, keir starmer. Thats the front pages dean starmer. Thats the front pages dealt with. In the next section, well be looking at just what green means lately, what your kids could learn at oxbridge and why its all kicking off and welcome back to headliners. Your first look at tuesdays newspapers. Im simon evans , newspapers. Im simon evans, still joined by comedians and best friends. Josh howie and leo curse. We all live in a big comedy house together. So josh, anti israel protests at oxbridge in the times. And watch out, theyve got a gazebo by the sound of it. Yeah, you couldnt get more oxbridge, wouldnt it be britain with a gazebo . Yeah, very good. Yeah. Gazebo. Okay, let me just cross that joke out. Joke out. I think it was quite optimistic, though, given the weather. It has to be said. Yeah, well thats it. If they were really for the palestinian, i know they didnt do this in sort of december, january. Right now theyre like, oh, its spring. Oh you know what . Now were going to go camping. May week was in june but girls week is in may. Yeah. So anyway Uk University students occupy campuses as Gaza Protests grow. So this is theres one at cambridge. Theyve got tents and theres a liberated zone in oxford. And. Liberated zone in oxford. And. Yeah, this is just its sort of sad that we just as the uk has to import these kind of american cultural traditions. Why cant we just have our own protests . Thats what i feel about it, ashby said. At least in america , ashby said. At least in america, you are protesting your own governments active engagement. I mean, the British Government is not really. Yeah, theyre not going to be traction on israel either way, does it . Theyre not going to be burning british flags. Weirdly i dont think having said that, i suppose the key thing is, and this is whats been kicking off in america lately is obvious, actual, you know, ad hominem, anti jewish , hostility, hominem, anti jewish, hostility, aggression, you know, clashes. I aggression, you know, clashes. I dont think weve seen that here yet, i dont know. Well, lets see if theyre clever enough. Party conference. Yeah, thats. See if theyre clever enough to. But actually saying that. No, there is like to sign up to actually go to the oxford one. You have to sign up, and you have to basically, say that you agree that israel should be dismantled. Like, this is what i saw online just before we came on the show, dismantled, dismantled israel. And also that the palestinians have a right to resistance. Now theres the resistance. Now theres the resistance , and then theres resistance, and then theres rape and murder, and october seventh. So the fact that theyre calling for those things to even go into the site, it just shows that theyre a bunch of cranks dismantled is a word like its going to be packed up and moved to texas or something. Well, this is no, no, this is the whole thing. Its not like, lets not call for a two state solution and for peace and any of that. No of course theyre asking for the full right of return and for like one state. And thats the end of israel. And theyre taking a weird angle on it, because the whole thing is like, we need to decolonise israel as the coloniser. It needs to needs to be decolonised. Its like, well, who what was israel originally like . If we go back, you know, hundreds of years, what who was there first whos actually colonised that entire area . Yeah, its rome, its what weve got to take the issue with, isnt it . Yeah its herod and pilate anyway. Telegraph now leo. And the unusual priorities, as you mentioned earlier, of the green party in leeds and now in bristol as well, under scrutiny. Bristol as well, under scrutiny. Yes. A Second Green Party councillor has come under fire, not literal fire. We should be clear about that. After calling israel an oppressor in the wake of the october 7th terror attacks. So this is abdul of the october 7th terror attacks. So this is abdul malik in a Facebook Post a few days after the Hamas Terrorists killed around 1200 israeli citizens. As malik claimed the citizens. As malik claimed the massacre was not a sudden crisis in. Palestinians have endured oppression for 75 years, relatively tame, considering some of the other stuff thats been said. I mean , you know, been said. I mean, you know, that i think. What was the other. Yeah. What was said by the other Green Party Candidate who, you know, obviously the video is going, going viral. Moeen ali moeen ali. So you know, he as soon as you voted in, as soon as he was announced as the victor, he shouted, allah akbar. And it turned out that hed also said that, palestine had the right to resist. And, the right to fight back. This is on october the 7th. And he described a jewish chaplain at the university of leeds who was forced into hiding by threats. He was part of the mob that was that was, you know, stirring up emotion against him. He described him as an animal, some kind of animal. Also said that that chaplain, wanted to kill women and children. I mean , this women and children. I mean, this is pretty horrific stuff for any i mean, honestly , the far right, i mean, honestly, the far right, you know, the actual neo nazis must be looking at the green party and being like, who does their pr . Yeah, this is this is amazing. How do they get away with this . Its just unbelievable. Well, i mean, the word is obviously entryism, isnt it, that they have essentially used the green party. Theres a famous, you know, tweet about what the left do, which is, you know, a killer, a well established institution in where it suits, where its skin as a suit, you know, you know, this is what you do. You turn. But theyve done this to the green party, essentially, they moved in, completely gutted it of any Environmental Concerns and used it as a what they did for labour. I mean ed miliband made that stupid £3 anybody could join in the vote. They got in corbyn. Yeah. And then, then, then laboun yeah. And then, then, then labour. It became institutionally racist and broke the law discriminating against jews. Since then about 100,000 or a bit more have left. I would say a good bulk of them are anti semitic, and a bunch of them have gone over to the to them have gone over to the to the greens. Now theyre going to probably do the same there. And where, where, where do they keep on going . I mean, its similar to what Warren Buffett did with berkshire hathaway. To be fair, they were. That was a paper they were. That was a paper mill, i think, originally, and it became the Worlds Largest investment corporation. But, you know, and its also similar to, to what happened in iran when the in the iranian revolution, when they deposed the monarchy there. So the islamists allied with the leftists to get into power. So the leftists helped them, you know, depose the monarchy. And know, depose the monarchy. And then once the islamists were in power, what happened to the leftists . They got executed. Leftists . They got executed. Yeah. So, you know, the green party, the left in the west are just useful idiots to. Absolutely. Theyre extraordinarily ruthless. I mean, there are all those famous cartoons about, you know, or when do i get my free, you know, tractor or whatever. Yeah. Oh, just down by that ditch the moinesti just just you just kneel down there and itll be a long shortly. You know, the more interesting question is to what . When are, this sort of muslim vote that has been lost by won laboun vote that has been lost by won labour, by the greens and by various other parties . George galloway party. Yeah, when will they create their own party . And what success will they see . Theyve already been some independence around blackburn. Not not for some years yet. I think this is working very nicely for them at the moment. Yeah. The deniability. You know, in the 80s there was a party of islam or, and i think more recently they applied to set up a party of islam, but the one in the 80s didnt last long because they had policies lasting. One of their policies was like to kill salman rushdie, you know . Well, i think its a good thing that when it does happen, the policies will be out in the open. Then the policies will be out in the open. Then it becomes about democracy. Yeah. Anyway, josh, up to scotland now for the relative calm of the snp and their new leader. Incidentally returning to the aquatic protocols established by salmond and sturgeon is john swimme. Is that what is that all . Is that what is that all . Thats what ive decided to call him. So, yeah. Ive been part of hes a ive been part of divisive politics. Admits john swinney. So hes not really actually talking about the policies which are arguably incredibly divisive and is part of why the snp are in the way they are, as opposed to running they are, as opposed to running the country. Well, instead of focusing on ridiculous things like self id and the hate law and whatnot. But hes more talking about how he has behaved in parliament, in the Scottish Parliament and shouting and all of that kind of stuff. So a new leader i dont think its going to make any difference. Like with the tory party in for the the rest of the country, i think a lot of people are sick of the snp up in scotland. Im not scottish, obviously, but that seems to be the impression that ive got and they have not run the country well. Well, quite a lot of, long term scottish nationalists are pretty sick of them as well. Yeah, absolutely. And in fact its scottish nationalists who precipitated the sort of the terminal decline of the snp when they, started the accusations around you know, where we donated money for another referendum and wheres that money gone . So thats, you know, thats whats, what the snp are grappling with right now, but yeah, john swinney, i mean, its , its a sort of mean, its, its a sort of poisoned chalice to take on being like head of the snp at the moment. Yeah, but yeah, previously hes been a heckler in parliament. So he hasnt been this, you know, hes saying hes going to be bring everybody together. Yeah. Hes obviously not, one good thing is that he says he might be. You know, prince hal has to grow up at some point. He might. He might have matured. I suppose hes good behind the scenes. Yeah, he might be like biden. He might just be quite an effective manoeuvre. Absolutely rubbish. The worst president even rubbish. The worst president ever. Yeah, probably will be, you know, but one good thing is he says hes going to take the administration, is going to take administration, is going to take a rational approach when considering gender ideology. Instead of taking the ideological approach. Yeah, well, that at least would be a positive development. And speaking of which, leo, positive or at least interesting developments in ireland as the daily mail have this story, a population that only recently emerged from centuries of theocratic dark ages does not appear to be in a hurry to re enter them. Re enter them. Yeah, so half of the irish population now want migrant checkpoints at the Northern Ireland border to slow Asylum Seeker seekers arriving from britain, a poll finds. His britain, a poll finds. His anti immigration protests take place in dublin, so 50 of respondents want a checkpoint to stop people coming across the border from britain. Theyve got a bit of video for us, apparently. Lets have a look at that. Im here because the government wont listen to the irish people. Were second class citizens in our own country and they need to be out. Why am i here . Because i dont want to see this country go like england. I mean, weve got young children, so we have, you know what i mean . And at the end of the day, irish people are on the streets. If we havent got enough houses to house our own, how are we meant to help all of this . I have a clear message for taoiseach harris and the rest of our government. This is ireland , our government. This is ireland, our government. This is ireland, our ireland, and we will fight like hell to save her. Its interesting, isnt it . If you heard english voices saying anything like that, people would be branding them as far right. I dont know whether thats their. Its very charming. Its very charming. Its very charming. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, 20 years ago, 30 years ago, you had sinn fein leading chants of ireland for the irish, and now its ireland for everyone but the irish. And that crowd was chanting sinn fein are traitors. Thats thats the interesting thing, isnt it . The sinn fein have gone the same way that you were saying about the far left, you know, making that strange. Its weird. Yeah, yeah. Its always you go through these cycles. Yeah. And ireland hasnt had yeah. And ireland hasnt had a spirit. The people havent had their spirit beaten out of them and crushed and cucked like british people have. I mean, is it conceivable that they will resist it and turn the tide . Theyd be the first country in europe to do so. 50. So. Well, they want to turn well apart from hungary, it seems like 5050. In terms of the polling. But its an interesting thing. Theyre talking about sending people back to the uk. Sending people back to the uk. Yeah. And theyre also saying that rishi sunak actually seems to have won a sort of political debate here because he has been very clever. Hes kind of said, well, you know , youre part of well, you know, youre part of europe and theyve just come from europe. So really theyre part of you. So theyve just come around. Yeah, really. You know. So but maybe this will be a way of sort of turning, legal migrants in that they might just sort of keep on sending them back and forward and yeah, instead of going to rwanda, just keep on. Yeah. Why are we sending them to rwanda . We can just bust them to Northern Ireland and they can just walk across the field like perpetual motion, like an escher drawing. Eschers migrants, more fear mongering about the far right in the guardian. Now, josh, or is this a clear analysis . In fact, do you think fix europes housing crisis or risk fuelling the far right un expert warns. So, some theyve done some studies, theyve looked at the data and yeah, by when house pnces data and yeah, by when house prices go up, that seems to also correlate with, far right parties going in. Obviously, theres a lot of elections coming up this year across europe , the far right are europe, the far right are expected. But then, of course, theres the guardian. So when they say the far right, but its a bit like its a, its a kind of its a catch 22 and i do understand it. But on the other hand the guardian solution or the people theyre talking to will be build loads more social housing so that we can house the migrants. And so that wont push up house pnces and so that wont push up house prices and that will keep the far right under control and still allow us to have mass migration, whereas actually its misrepresenting the far rights position, which is we want our countries to stay looking like they do now and continue to have they do now and continue to have the do you see what i mean . Yeah, no, i do, but but i dont think that what that. Yes. Dont think that what that. Yes. But what theyre saying is that even when the far right arent really asking for the housing. Yeah. Theyre saying its still it does go. It does correlate. Sadly, we cant do that one justice. Weve run out of time. We have a break now. But coming up, more nonsense from the university is more nonsense from the british schools. But our favourite rg has been teaching David Cameron a thing or two. Well see you and welcome back to headliner second half. Leo. And barely two years since lockdown ended, students in columbia have created their own little traumas to avoid doing exams this year as well. Yeah. As well. Yeah. So columbia, which is a university in americas , university in americas, cancelled its Graduation Ceremony after weeks of turmoil. Ceremony after weeks of turmoil. Turmoil is traumatised. Law students say they havent. They shouldnt have to sit exams because theres been all this, you know, bongo drums, screaming , doing bullhorns and stuff, which i can understand. Apparently medical students were having to, you know, do the practice on cadavers. Well, theres, you know, people banging drums and shouting outside the window. And so, so of other universities, i mean, its terrible for news people who rent out gowns and those sort of hats with a square. All people probably like stand up comedians who get jobs doing the commencement addresses, you know, go out there and make a difference. Kids, you know. Yeah, yeah. And also big and a lot of the i mean, some of the some of the footage of the protest has been hilarious. Were just talking about the frat bros who came out to counter protest, and they were offering 100 to anyone, any of the protesters that could do a press up. I was genuinely quite moved and surprised to see those people still exist. I thought theyd died out in the 90s, you know, theres still a few of them. Yeah, thats it gives you hope. Maybe well bring back poodle rock as well. Well, some of the demands, the demands of the protesters, the demands of the protesters, the anti israel protesters are ridiculous. So they want divestment. They want their universities to not invest in israel. But theres very few direct investments in israeli firms. So they want them to not invest in any company that does business with israel, which is pretty much every global company. So, you know, google , company. So, you know, google, mcdonalds, toyota. Its an absolute nonsense. You know, absolute nonsense. You know, they wont be able to invest in anybody. Well, dude, josh, you havent got any kids at university yet have you . No, i dont know. My eldest is. Yeah. Weve got a gcse story coming up but. Right. Yeah. No, but it is scary. Its scary in this country, and a lot of University Students at goldsmiths are there, which is where i went. They basically gave in to the demands. They were like, yeah, okay, well do whatever. One of the demands was that they had to the, the, the ihrc, the International Holocaust memorial. Yeah. Rikki neave. Definition. Yeah. Definition semitism and that they would relook at it. This has been accepted by countries all over the world, by organisations you can criticise israel totally within it. It says specifically within it you can criticise israel. Just dont do it more than you would as you say, its not an irrelevance, but it shouldnt be allowed to determine the whole course of your University Career or whether you get a decent degree or whether an employer can trust what hes looking at when hes going to give you a job. Yeah. No, no, i mean, i actually think that they should, bring these protests into exams like it should be part of the future stuff i like. I think its a good training for doctors or for, like, hospital. The lawyers want the law school to say , oh, want the law school to say, oh, we want to get basically all be passed. I think that they should have people like screaming free palestine in their ear whilst they do the exam. They do stuff like that a lot. They put you under. Incredible. If you join a law firm, they put you under incredible stress, make you work through the night like they join the army. Well, they call it beasting or something, dont they . Yeah. Or something, dont they . Yeah. Just get a bunch of smelly protesters next to you. Its great. Carrying on with the exam news in the uk, as you said. Josh, weve got something on the gcse front. Nothing to write, read or arithmetic. Home about here either. Yeah, yeah. Bloated gcse curriculum must be reduced. Say, education experts. Essentially. Theres just too much going on. Labour party has said that they want to add some more stuff to the curriculum, financial education, which i actually think is quite a good idea to do. Mental health, maybe not so much, but having my son, my eldest, is in his first year of gcses, the amount of work is crazy and the curriculum and hes and hes doing history, which they specifically mention here, and history. This is a little rabbit hole. This is a little rabbit hole. But history, they dont even teach history anymore. What they teach history anymore. What they teach is like how to be an historian. Like they teach you how to how to assess the credibility of sources. I think theyre adding you dont actually understand who was the king and what acts were passed. You have to go, but maybe his opinion of henry the seventh might do you what i mean. I think he is, to be fair, from what ive seen, is actually learning some history as well. Yeah, a little bit, yeah. No, no, but say that when i did anthropology at university, it was all about learning about exactly that, as opposed to learning about the culture. There should be a graduate level thing. Yeah. Not gcse, they cant understand. So, but there is an argument here to reduce it. Otherwise theyre saying theres just too much rote learning. Theres 30 exams. Yeah. And its more about the quality of what you learn necessarily than the quantity. Necessarily than the quantity. Yeah. But the interesting thing that i think that they said here is they have a thing with the nhs where they do every ten years, they have to do this, the nhs constitution. Yeah, and taking , doing something similar taking, doing something similar for the Education System curriculum. Yeah. Would take it curriculum. Yeah. Would take it out of politics and make it more about like trying to look at it broader and plan longterm. Weve always bad idea teachers always are upset because things change too frequently, dont they . So, you know, theres a constantly a kind of grinding tension and not grinding tension pulling that. But anyway, you know, a conflict with the government because every government comes in, wants to overhaul the system. Yeah. To overhaul the system. Yeah. Teachers are basically they like to write a lesson and know that they can do that lesson for the next ten. Thats fair enough. I mean, weve all done that with a decent 20 anyway. Cameron now and millom leo, they meet, via the independent. They have some disagreement over just how brilliant Margaret Thatcher was. Yeah. So cameron probably thinks thatcher was less brilliant than emily. But president millie, the argentinian president says the falklands are still british. And thatcher was brilliant. Hes described in the independent here as the right wing populist. But thats an absolute nonsense because hes obviously not a populist , every, every populist, every, every argentinian leader, all the peronists before him came in saying, were going to were going to take the falklands, back off the british using military force, which is a populist thing to do. Malay is populist thing to do. Malay is an absolute realist and is an absolute fantastic leader. He doesnt tell people what they want to hear. Hes the opposite of a populist. So the independent is an absolute. This is terrible journalism. Youre a populist, independent. Theyre worse than the guardian. Its disgusting. I mean, hes hes some of his policies map onto some of what you might call european populist, as in small governments and good ideas. Yeah. Good ideas. Exactly. But hes not doing them for that reason. Yeah. And he is, as you say, capable. He actually sounds pretty intelligent the way he answers these questions when you read into it, you know, when they try and trip him up and hes, hes an economist and hes absolutely turned argentina around under the socialist government. It was a complete basket case. Hes slashed public spending. Theyve got the first Budget Surplus in decades. Hes tamed inflation. The peso has rallied. And the stuff hes saying about Margaret Thatcher, which youd think, you know, he might want to, you know, rattle the sabre against Margaret Thatcher. Hes not he says ive heard lots of speeches by Margaret Thatcher. She was brilliant. So whats the problem . And his message is of peace. He says, you know, if we take the falklands back, its going to be through peaceful negotiation. And over time, i love this line as well. He was asked about it. He says criticising someone because of their nationality or race is very intellectually precarious. Very intellectually precarious. Id like to see David Cameron say that in spanish. Do you want say that in spanish. Do you want to Say Something on that . Josh no, no, just that i pulled out that line. So i just thought it was truly. But i think its such a bizarre thing to people dont really necessarily talk about her nationality, you know. No, i suppose he was being youre argentinian. Therefore youre argentinian. Therefore you must hate thatcher. He was like, well, i guess what he means is to some extent is 40 years ago now she has entered history, right . Thats not i mean, the malvinas or whatever is still maybe a flashpoint, but she herself would be that would be like talking about attlee or something, you know, during her reign she would have been a reign she would have been a reign her. I didnt realise it was 300 miles away from argentina. Its like i always thought it was 20 miles away. Like that was like, oh , kind of fair enough. Im 300 miles. What are you talking about . What are you talking about . What are you talking about . Halfway guardian. Now, josh and they seem to know exactly what to read into these figures about Mental Illness in, new mothers. Yeah, this is interesting. Interesting. Black mothers are twice as likely as white mothers to be hospitalised with, perinatal Mental Illness, which is , can be Mental Illness, which is, can be very, very, damaging for the mother and obviously for the child who doesnt get to connect necessarily. And, this is on top of other news that weve had in the past about, black mothers being more likely to die as well during, during childbirth , and during, during childbirth, and theyre saying that this is interesting because this is from the guardian and they the one thing they dont mention, which i think is a positive step, is racism. Yeah. They dont allude to it even theyre talking about, structural inequality, women being well, theyre talking about women being worse, worse socioeconomically vie difficulty accessing services. So they dont normally it feels like when they would do this, they go look , the nhs is racist. They go look, the nhs is racist. But actually what theyre really saying is the nhs is seeing these women, they are admitting them. So if it was racism in the nhs that would be displayed by, for instance, if there was evidence that black women were more prone to perinatal Mental Illness, but they werent being admitted. But they werent being admitted. But the fact that theyre being admitted simply suggests that theyre more prone to it. So we dont know why that might be. But for instance, it could easily correlate with a number of things. It could correlate with Socio Economic status. It could correlate with whether or not you have a your partner is with you while youre giving birth. It could correlate with whether or not you have a number of other children already. And do you know what i mean . There are all these things that it could correlate with, and they dont seem to go into it at all and explain what it might be. I mean, im just saying, you know, i think it clearly shows that the nhs is racist. Racist to his core. Its damaging these black women and the nhs needs to be shut down and replaced with the right. I will just say its still less than one per thousand, you know, have to be actually hospitalised, which is still i dont know what thats like around the world, but thats not like a, you know, but look, theyve theyve discovered this discrepancy. And if they can find the reasons for it and fix it, then great. Absolutely. Last story before the break, leo, very quickly, if you wouldnt mind, this sounds like it might be an encouraging step in the right direction. So compulsory single sex lavatories for all restaurants and offices under new laws. So building regulations will be changed later this year to make it compulsory to provide separate facilities for men and women. After an increase in the use of gender neutral lavatories, which allow everybody, no matter how many genders and binaries youve got, but when i, when i read compulsory single sex lavatories, i wasnt sure if they meant single sex or unisex. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. No, but it means old fashioned, ladies and gents, basically. Yeah. So thats going to be a compulsory thats going to be a compulsory thats going to be a compulsory thats going to be on the building regs along with all the Carbon Monoxide monitors. Anyway, cats still Walking Around , no. No high vis Walking Around, no. No high vis jackets. It is, end of part three coming up in the final section, a skeleton vaccine. We have the ref cam kicking off and jogging have the ref cam kicking off and jogging the wall of death and welcome back to headliners for the final section. Josh, we have the guardian with a vaccine for diseases that dont exist yet. I guess thats a good idea, is it . I dont know. Well, this is it. So scientists create vaccine with potential to protect against future coronaviruses. Im already on my sixth jab. Its working. Its working great. So yeah. So the idea is that this vaccine, it attaches harmless proteins from different coronaviruses. And then the idea is that if you ever got just a random coronavirus, you would kind of be immune because its used to fighting a bunch of stuff thats the idea behind it. And then wed stockpile them and just kind of pump them out. If some new its like a template, a bit like in a law firm, they have a number of proforma, like, contracts and you just tweak a little bit here or there or a made to measure suit. They just tuck it. They just tuck it. But this is a brand new thing. So this is called proactive vaccinology. And theres no medical regulations for it. Oh marvellous. Oh marvellous. Yes. Yes. So thats tremendous. Sign up. So this will be back on facebook and instagram. So now were going to have to talk about yeah i mean the weird thing is with the coronavirus i am let me state this like no epidemiologist or the rest of it. But i do know a couple sort of, you know, through direct chats and stuff. And they were saying it is quite interesting how quickly we had we, we got the vaccines out there because, of course, the common cold, which is the most famous coronavirus that was famously, you know, there was nothing you could do to stop people getting it. It had always been the great enigma within, you know, it was the it was the, what do you call it, the holy grail or whatever. And now they seem to have some sort of traction on it. So is this actually going to cure the common cold . No. I guess if they wont do, wont be. Well, i dont know. I mean, maybe it could. Do you know that that mutates a lot all the time. But i remember when i was a kid, my mum said, theres a place you could go and, like, have a free holiday, and they feed you and everything, and then they try and get you to catch a cold while youre there. Just you know, they were like trying to understand it. But its so it was so prevalent and so mysterious and enigmatic. Yeah. And this i dont know, i just dont think this is going to be hugely popular after, you know, because the last vaccine, you know, i know a lot of people took it, but it was kind of rammed down our throats a bit. And, you know, now, you know, i just feel they twisted our arm too much. I didnt get the same people, though. If this is given to the same people who queue up for the flu vaccine every year, and i dont like the flu vaccine, im going to say that right now. And i know a few other people whove said that, you know, on paper, technically, apparently its fine, but i didnt. I didnt feel good afterwards, and i wont be doing it again. Have you ever had one, no. Ive never had the flu vaccine. I did have the covid and, yeah, when. And it made me feel sick. Yeah. And i was annoyed with myself for doing it, but but there was no gb news at the time. We didnt know. Leo. Leo. Premier League Footballers are warned your next call may be recorded for training and quality purposes. Quality purposes. Yeah. So referees are going to wear cameras for the first time when Crystal Palace host man united. I think theyre football teams. So the premier league has said this footage will not be broadcast live, but fans will be able to view it later in the year as part of a programme being produced by premier league productions, aimed at offering further insight and education into the demands of officiating in the premier league. So something for super fans then, you know, if you want to see the referee eye view, then theyll have the linesman eye view and the, you know, the person with the sponge eye view. I dont watch it much, but there are some sports. I think its rugby where you can hear the referees conversations. Does that happen in the premier league at the moment . I suppose they did say that it happened once and they heard all the swearing going on. Yeah, yeah, the old players, but it is sort of interesting where you, i guess you can match up and see if they really saw something happen or if they were just responding to i bet you when they have enough footage, theres going to be some scientists whos going to put it all together and see how, referees are influenced by the crowd or by the team, or did they actually see offside or not . I think it will become i think it will become popular. I know plenty of people who just absolutely bury themselves in sport. Losers. Yeah staying with the times. Josh, it seems that zoos have a role to play in sustainability, as well as overpriced gift shops and invisible leopards. Just even get in there. Its so expensive. Yeah, visiting a zoo makes people care about sustainability. This is sheffield university, but they were studying a, an australian zoo and they said something about palm oil. And then afterwards, some people werent would go, is that palm oil in this . And thats the gist of it. Yeah but there is this idea that if you to care about something, you should know it. Yes. Thats the idea. That was what, David Attenborough said. Yeah. So but then they kind of go at the end. Yeah, but no, it doesnt really work. No. Yeah. It works. Yeah. It works. Yeah. It works. I mean, i quite enjoy there are certain things in zoos that are certain things in zoos that are quite good fun, like the spiders and the snakes and stuff, but the big mammals and penguins are always just a massive disappointment. Watching polar bears like just, you know, limping there half the time theyre going mad. Theyre going mad. So theyre doing that repetitive motion thing. Horrible, horrible go, go. The terrible enclosure instead. Yeah, hes having a good time seeing 30 or 40 guinea pigs all together. They start to operate completely differently than twos and threes. They do. They start and threes. They do. They start to sort of like do little traffic flows. Traffic flows. How can people afford the zoo . Have you been to the. Its so expensive. I think there must be based on the understanding you become a friend or something and go every weekend i dont know. Yeah, i know exactly what you mean, leo, turns out there was a 60s movie that anticipated nasa space stations. It was Elvis Presley in roustabout. Do you presley in roustabout. Do you remember that . So, so scientists suggest that building a wall of death on the moon, will help keep astronauts fit in low gravity. This isnt the same wall of death that hamas use to persecute gay people. This is this is a different. The wall of death is one that motorbikes go round and it uses centrifugal force to generate, you know , a force to generate, you know, a fake gravity well. You can run out of a hole, you can run out of a crater. If youve never done that. Theres videos, you can see kids doing it. You run around and up and up on a bombsite. Yeah. Yeah. Its great. Now i think that will be fine. You know, if thats the only thing they have to overcome that that and the pencils. Yeah. Yeah. But but but as youre saying here that 2001 has the famous scene where theyre running around like a job will. Yeah. But that is really how they can do it. And im imagining now were going to see that in a lot more movies set on the moon. They will have these kind of circular things. Thatll be elon musk should make a tesla one. It would be a great bit of branding. The show is nearly over. Lets take another quick look at tuesdays front pages. The times no truce yet, says israel. The telegraph yet, says israel.

Most places dry overnight, but that allows some mist and fog patches to form in places under the cloudier skies. Temperatures holding up though around 10 or 11 celsius, so Tuesday Morning a grey start in places. Still, the risk of some light rain and drizzle across central and northern parts of england into southern scotland. But it does brighten up quite quickly for most parts of the uk. Best of the sunshine across southern parts of england and wales, perhaps 1 or 2 heavy showers developing here later on in the afternoon, temperatures rising to around 20 or 21 degrees a little cooler further north under the cloud , particularly under the cloud, particularly Northern Ireland, southern scotland.

Within the last hour, israels Defence Forces have begun a targeted attack against hamas in the Southern Gaza city of rafah. Now if youre watching on tv, you can see live pictures. The military operation began after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that his war cabinet had approved the operation. Strikes are currently being carried out in the east of rafah. Earlier israel ordered a partial evacuation of civilians ahead of this offensive. Mr netanyahu says strikes will increase pressure on hamas to release israeli hostages. This release israeli hostages. This comes after israel rejected a three phase ceasefire deal, which hamas claimed to have agreed with egyptian mediators. An israeli official described the deal as softened and said that it was a ruse intended to make them look bad. However, we understand that israel is sending a delegation to meet with negotiators to try to reach an acceptable agreement. Now, theres been no deal on a ceasefire in gaza since a week long pause in november. Well bnng long pause in november. Well bring you more on this story as we get it now, as weve been heanng we get it now, as weve been hearing students at oxford and cambridge have set up gaza protest camps on their university campuses
