Hello and welcome to headliners where we bow down to the altar of next days newspapers. Im josh howie. Ive got the high priest duties for tonight. Here to decipher the mutterings of our oracles. Steve nostradamus. Alan and louis. The team world is nigh. Schaefer how are you both. 7 pretty good. Both looking very snazzy. Well, we looking very snazzy. Well, we even collaborated. In what way. 7 i even collaborated. In what way . Itold even collaborated. In what way . I told him which title. You know, he tweets about his tie, mate. Dont. He tags me in. I get like, my whole timeline is just people goes anti semitism and semitism and semitism, and then its louis tie and then it gets back to i think, i think anti semitism is less contentious than my time. Therell be some tweets that are about your tie that are also anti semitism. This is silk. This is silk. Great. Thats and welcome to my timeline there. Right. Were gonna have a quick look at tuesdays front pages. The daily mail ozempic slashes heart attack and stroke risk. The telegraph china fury at arrest of uk spies. Guardian labour report calls for rent caps to tackle growing housing crisis. Financial times anglo rebuffs sweetened £34 billion bid for bhp as significantly undervalued. No idea what any of that means i news british nature in crisis and every Political Party failing to save wildlife. The daily star, the late great Hannibal Lecters a wonderful man. Those were your front pages. Okay, starting our in depth look at the front pages. What are the telegraph going with steve . Their main story china fury at arrest of uk spies. And at arrest of uk spies. And theyve got a picture. As you can see there, of the three spies. Ill give you the name of the spies. Theres cheung wai. Hes known as peter, known as peter . Yeah, theres cheung yan and. And matthew trickett. One of them is deeper undercover than them is deeper undercover than the rest. I would go as far. The rest. I would go as far. One of them has had some surgery. It could be that, like episode of james bond that. That that film was it. Its the opposite. Its the opposite of a doctor. No, its a doctor. Yes, yes, theyve done. Thats it. And, lewis, are they. Is china furious because they got caught, no. Because this is what happens in a war situation amongst countries, even when there isnt any war, theyre always ratting on on people, spying on them. The thing about china is, when i think that people need to realise is china is what a threat they are, theyre an absolute threat. I my kids at a school, im not going to mention what school, he said, but hes in a school with his tons of Chinese People there. I was there when the official term, whatever you want to call them, and he tells me that theyre watching. Theyre watching him. They are watching him. So do you think that they might be watching him for the chinese state, my son . No, no. But for . What you to find out but for . What you to find out information on you. Youre a threat to them. It could be. We dont know. We dont know what im capable. No, i know, i know, youre definitely not. Youll never find out what youre capable of. Thats the biggest tragedy of all of it. Yeah. Lewis. Well i mean, what do you think, steve . Is it the tip of the iceberg here . Vie. I suppose it is. Its just that were actually now paying just that were actually now paying some attention. Weve got some new bill thats been passed. That means you can actually arrest people for things like this. Chinas not looking happy. I do love that. The quote from the front page of our government saying, we will not tolerate attempts to threaten or harass or silence people in the uk unless its a protest, in which case we will rush through some new legislation during the coronation to make sure that we can now clamp down on protest. But other than that, we wont let other people silence our. And theyre not going to throw out three of our guys, which is what theyre going to do. This is what happens. Well, its interesting because these gentlemen i mean, theyve got if you looked at their cvs, its heroic stuff. They fought in the armies, theyve been in the police. Its is it a case . Do you think of them being like, deep sleeper agents, or is it just finally they kind of like, oh, yeah, ill take a couple of thousand quid to have a look at these hong kong peeps. Theres a lot of them. Yeah. The money motivating thing. This is what apparently the china hack of two weeks ago was all about just getting peoples financial info to see who might be willing to take a little bit of money. That was the big worry. So it looks like it is just based. Well, china, let me save you a bit of bother. Ive got nothing. So give me a call. Moving on to tuesdays daily mail. Lewis tuesdays biggest breakthrough since statens ozempic slashes heart attack and stroke risk. This is having a stroke. This is having a stroke. Well, no , i might be having well, no, i might be having a stroke because im not taking im not taking statins. And this is this is this is one of those pushes because its in every newspaper. Its the huge pubuchy newspaper. Its the huge publicity thing for ozempic. I guess they realise theres money to be made in ozempic because it costs £160 a year to take this drug , which a month, sorry, drug, which a month, sorry, a month to take this drug a month to, which basically makes you thin but makes you thin, reduces your chance, reduces diabetes which reduces Heart Disease and cancen which reduces Heart Disease and cancer. So it its just a good good. The cancer. So it its just a good good. The fact that they say its the biggest breakthrough since statins is really the saddest thing because statins is such a minor player in the whole business of i dont know whether youre following it at all. No, no. But, steve, is this a danger to thin people, though . Who want to not have a heart attack . Whats going to happen to them . Are they going to lose more weight . They already dont have a heart attack. So im afraid its normally the big fatties. Is this one of your sort of like chicken and the egg situations here . Oh, id have both. And thats why i need some ozempic. Because what a scotch egg. Oh, chicken meat on the outside. No, this is really good. The actually, the big downside is people who genuinely need the drug because of diabetes, and its now this originally invented and then tested and approved as a as a diabetes treatment. But they realise it also makes you thin. And people who are vain were just like, oh ill have some of that please. And they cant get the supplies for people who genuinely need it for diabetes. But its good. Its a fake version of a hormone that people have in different levels. Thin people have a naturally higher level of the hormone. Fat people dont. You replace it with this synthetic cement. Its not true. Thatis synthetic cement. Its not true. That is not true. Its true. Im going to go. Im going to go with steve on this one. Yeah. You can go with it because people believe it. Okay. But are there any side effects . Side effects. No side effects. No, thats not true. There is one side effect, and its the weird bolus in the stomach of things that dont get digested. They found a higher incidence of people who have that. If you take ozempic the rest of the things in the newspapers, youre talking constipation. No. You know, if, i cant remember what its called. But if you eat matter, thats not easily digestible. Sometimes it just sits in the stomach. The treatment for it is drinking like two litres of coke, because the phosphoric acid, thats the only thing that you get a higher incidence of taking this drug. All the rest of it. Absolutely. Bang on. Im not so sure about that. We dont know. Its the same thing. Like with high Blood Pressure medication. I think its just do what Lewis Schaffer does eat meat. Okay, there we go. Thank you very much for that. Lewis schaffer lets have a look at the guardian. Steve labour report calls for rent caps to tackle growing housing crisis. Of course it does. But it wont work because rent caps never really work. And what you actually need to do is solve the problem rather than band aid it. Which means more houses, less people, right . Fewer people, few people. But, no more houses. Even if we didnt, even if you stopped any more people coming into the country. We dont have enough houses. We need to build it. You need to change the definition of green belt. Its not green. They shouldnt call it green belt. Some of it is a terrible area, but its just built to stop urban sprawl. So angry. Hes getting angry everywhere where everyone lived used to be a field. At some stage, because hes been trying to save the cemetery for the last ten years. Yeah, well, thats part of the thing that im trying to do is that is that youre totally wrong. Is that we dont. I dont know what you said. I forgot what you said. Or maybe just so angry. Green belt. Green belt. We need a green belt. I agree with the green belt, but we dont. What we dont need is we dont. What we dont need is we dont. We dont need a green belt. What dont we need . Well, the green belt was put in place at a time when society was different. It needs to be able to move. It needs to get bigger. Urban things do need to grow because they always have. Why do we . Some somehow think that like 100 years ago, that was the sweet spot. Yeah. Louis, i mean, surely i thought youd be happy with someone tightening their belt. No. Where did that come from . Im getting me. Oh, sorry. Is that. No. Is that. Is that right . Now were at where . Its where its a high point of how many people there are. If we just wait a little bit. The population is dropping. People are dying like crazy. And theyre going to need to be fat. Which is why im against this number one. Probably im against even me losing weight. Number one against it, but also im against them building wherever they feel they need to build. Theres enough housing. What there isnt. Its very clearly not enough housing. Yeah, there is the whole point. Theres not enough. No, theres not enough housing with the amount of rooms and land and Square Footage or whatever, whatever square metres that people have. That people have. Yeah. Can i throw my favourite stat that i love on this one . Theres more Square Footage dedicated to golf courses in the uk than there is to the Square Footage of houses. Before we say the uks full, there aint no space. Get rid of a couple of bunkers then. How dare you . How dare you . Yeah, but you know what . Thats like barbaric. Really, i dont i dont play golf. I think its a horrible game for horrible people, but that doesnt it still, its still wide open green space where theres lots of animals and trees living there, you know. Yeah, but when you figure out how many where the houses are, if you dont count the front yard, its not that many houses in the country. Yard, its not that many houses in the country. But that yard, its not that many houses in the country. But that doesnt in the country. But that doesnt mean we need more of it. Doesnt need the whole place needs me. That doesnt mean we need more of it. Other things mean we need more of it. The thing the price of houses is why we need more houses. The only reason its so ridiculously expensive is because we didnt let supply keep up with demand. Gosh no. Gosh no. This story i just before we move on is about rent. How its gone insane for young people who are trying to rent on the market. Now. Its bonkers. Yeah. And how and how the guardian, which is the guardian which is like the basically vocal whatever theyre the newspaper of team world. They want rent caps. Okay, finally, daily star, lewis, daily star, the great, the late, great Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man, said donald trump. And this is in the daily star. And i love the daily star, basically what they say, he said. Donald trump said that they when they joe biden opened they when they joe biden opened the doors and let mentally ill people into the into america and those mentally ill people are a lot like, Hannibal Lecter. Theyre eating maybe not eating. Right. Right. Well, you know what it is. Hes got a great sense of humour. He spoke for. He spoke for 90 minutes to 100,000 people in in new jersey. Yes. Thats what were doing right now. But hes sitting there. Theres a hole there. Right. Making about as much sense. Yeah. The truth is , is that donald trump im not is, is that donald trump im not saying hes a great man, but hes a great stand up comic. And we as comedians should support him, if it werent for joe biden, wed be pointing out how deranged this guys got. And yet, somehow, the one thing making him look not demented is joe biden is the other guy. Yeah, yeah, thats supposed to be the state of modern politics. Unfortunately, the front page is now complete. We shall discard them to get to the gristle in the next section. Calm down. Louis. Coming up. Common sense is back in fashion. The blob fights back and the snp have a women welcome back to headliners, where our motto is comedians. Newspapers insight. And i guarantee tonight that youll at least get one of them. Im josh howie joined by the right and left sides of the cortex. Steve van allen and louis schaefer. Steve. Tuesdays times first and the tories are determined to implement some far reaching policies before they fade into the sunset. What is a lanyard . Yeah, good question, but common sense minister bans rainbow lanyards. You know, the things that go around your neck with a little safety clasp. Oh, i see those losers. Yeah. Oh, i see those losers. Yeah. Where . Yeah. We dont need lanyards. Just get rid of that. Thats how hardcore we are. Were even more hardcore than the common sense, minister, this is esther mcvey, minister for common sense, which is not a job. So actually minister without portfolio, but call it common sense to make it a bit more, you know, culture war ii, she used to work for some outfit called gb news, whoever they are. As a little side note , i are. As a little side note, i never look up when i walk in buildings. Shes really stepped down the. Yeah but this is the kind of thing you just want to mock, right . Minister for common sense. As if you could own common sense. You want to know what the people think . Theyll tell you in a general election. So lets. Given that im ready to mark, lets look at some of these policies. Okay. Here we 90, these policies. Okay. Here we go, if you work in the Civil Service, youre meant to be apolitical. So that means no politics. Sneaking in, ban all lanyards that arent the standard issue ones. Thats fair standard issue ones. Thats fair enough, universities must prioritise domestic students. I suppose, if youve got to prioritise some students, domestic ones. Crackdown on domestic ones. Crackdown on Staff Networks for minority groups . What kind of crackpot plan is this to look racist . What have networks ever done , what have networks ever done, well, the Civil Service Muslim Network was suspended after officials discussed how to change government policy on gaza dunng change government policy on gaza during its meetings. All right, consult contracts for equality, diversity and inclusion are going to be banned. Whos going to sort out your diversity . The ministers damn it. So if you go through all of these annoyingly, they kind of make common sense. If they made it less culture worry, it would just be absolutely fine. But thats the point, isnt it, lewis, that we have got to this point under a tory government where suddenly, near the end of the tory government, arguably they are sending someone in to fix the issues that have come through and they dont have time. Dont have time. You know, i agree with what hes saying because all those things, they should be cut back. Nobody wants to go into an office, a business office. Im not even a business office. The government, its the, you know, the state and have somebody wearing a lanyard of a team that isnt you as you want them to be at least perceived to be totally neutral. You dont want them hating you, steve. You dont want me hating you. And so and so. Thats why shes totally right. Youre right about that. Right. Youre right about that. Josh, do they have time to do this . They dont have time. Theyve run out of time. And now all these great ideas. I think she just. Whats her name . Esther mcvey. She just wants to get into the newspaper. She wants to just. Look, im in the newspapers before the election so people will remember her a few years in. No. Or it might be that they no. Or it might be that they feel a little bit guilty and theyre like, oh yeah, we messed up and well well not leave you in such a bad state because because they forgot the people that they were looking, they were trying to help. They were trying to help the mains, whatever it is they were trying to help their own people. And they took the team world side. And now theyre being kicked out on their butt. This, this guy, rishi sunak, hes not one of im going to get a team world lanyard and wear it every show. Well you could get a team world. You go to my website at Lewis Schaffer at none at dot net, nunhead at twitter at Lewis Schaffer. You can go there. Schaffer. You can go there. Im fine. Thanks. Im fine. Thanks. Im fine. Thanks. I would give you one, but id have to give josh one. And im not giving josh. Im trying to get that mug. Im trying to get that mug. He threw one on the ground because he gave me the wrong mug. No. Which mug did you want . I wanted the one with you on it. Moving on to the mel lewis. And they dems are going on strike. Civil servants could go on strike over Government Policies that they claim are transphobic. This is in the daily mail and yeah they dont. This is like the public and commercial services union. Whatever theres another union i dont know. There are so many unions in this country that always go on strike and they say they could go on strike. Well, they can go on strike. Well, they can go on strike for anything thing, because thats a its a free country. Maybe its not, but country. Maybe its not, but lets just say its a free country and you could go on strike. So yeah, they say that we dont like what the government is doing. Theyve got anti trans guidance and we work for the government. So were not going to do it because we dont want to. We dont want to do that. Well, they should be fired. People people should be fired. People people should be fired or maybe killed. They should just go all the way and get rid of the maybe you dont get rid of the maybe you dont get maybe not killed, but, well, why not . Well, steve, what is this . Anti trans guidance that theyre talking about here . Oh, theyre upset that parents might have some sort of a say in something. I know its parents allowed to choose and be told and informed about their childrens decisions that would affect the rest of their lives, and they want no part of this. Although, to be fair, just a little bit of pushback is this is a motion thats been tabled, ready for their conference of some branch of the union. And if its not voted on, hopefully this could disappear. Yeah. Theres some hope in this story that the headline makes it look like this is going to happen. Theyre going on strike on tuesday. Lets just hope it was just someone wrote something and everyone would be like, exactly. Everyone would be like, exactly. Do you agree with, mr schaefer over there that if they were to strike that it would be means grounds for dismissal . I dont know. I dont know. Well, because theres this idea and ive resisted it of the blob. And this is sort of used as a, this, this, this sort of the big baddie that, that we cant identify thats basically within the Civil Service that is stopping the implementation of the government. Now, the government won fair and square. Now, you could argue that the Prime Minister, since then werent voted in, but there has been this kind of seeming resistance, and this seems to be the blob made flesh. The blob made flesh. Yeah, i push still push back against that because of the stories we covered about the, the, the strike happening or the court case of the Civil Service union taking the government to court over rwanda and all the headunes court over rwanda and all the headlines new, the newspapers knew they were wrong to say the headlines. Theyre stopping the flights. No theyre not. They flights. No theyre not. They just wanted legal clarification because the Civil Servants have been given a job to do and a Civil Service code, and they dont match. And they were stopping the flights. They were stopping them. Whoever the twitter person says is that youd get interrupted tonight. So retweet interrupted tonight. So retweet something, dont they . Because. Because why are you talking to him . You should talk to me because im the one whos. Hes. Hes the neutral observer. Hes the host, right . He needs to be involved at some point. No. So i think a lot of the stories make it look like the blob is doing the blob thing. When thats not true, see. Okay, well, lewis, lets get you up now. Tuesdays guardian next steve. And is belfast safer than rwanda . Yes, technically rwanda deportation law should not apply in Northern Ireland court rules. Just when you thought it was safe to go into rwanda and the uk government considers an appeal to this now. So the good friday agreement and the post Brexit Windsor framework rely upon the European Convention of human rights, rather important in that area. The judges said that the rwanda plan would reduce the rights of people in Northern Ireland technically and specifically, including Asylum Seekers. But its like two weeks since we had the story where ireland was saying this rwanda plan means people are coming into the uk, making it into Northern Ireland and going through the border. Passing this law now is effectively saying, hey, stop here, why bother going over that extra border . Just lets all gang up in Northern Ireland. Rishi sunak said the judgement will not derail it. So its doomed. I mean, whenever a Prime Minister, this is it. I mean, lewis, i dont know if you got to the grips of the intricacies here, but she says rishi sunak says its not going to derail it, but it sounds like it could well derail it. It could derail it. Theres a million things. Its going to be derailed. This is just its first of all, we dont know if the idea is going to work. Well send somebody to a supposedly a horrible country and then they wont want to come to our horrible country. I suppose he is. Its not that horrible. Yeah. What . Iran. What rwanda. Yeah. No, iran. What rwanda. Yeah. No, i know, but but its more horrible than we are here. People didnt go across europe, across asia to go to rwanda. But this is another thing the newspapers have been saying about how were calling rwanda not a safe country. The only reason the Supreme Court said it was not safe is because people could be sent back to their home nafions could be sent back to their home nations from rwanda. Rwanda is safe. The home nations have a genuine Asylum Seekers not safe, because thats why theyre left in the first place. Yeah, no ones saying rwanda is not safe. Ones saying rwanda is not safe. So what are you saying then . I dont understand what hes saying. What im saying is, is they dont want they dont want people in in Northern Ireland are not going to be sent across the border. So thatll make the irish people on the other side of the border happy. And the irish People Living in northern. Some of the irish People Living in Northern Ireland have. In Northern Ireland have. The Northern Irish people arent happy anyway. So its kind of. Yeah right. More guardian. And what next to the tory plan of ending homelessness by putting them all in jail . Yeah, well, this is another one of those stories braverman plan to criminalise rough sleeping dropped after tory criticism and there was a plan to make it illegal to be a rough sleeper , illegal to be a rough sleeper, not even to be a rough sleeper, but to look like youre a rough sleeper. Just arrest somebody for being a rough sleeper or look like a rough believe it was to smell like a rough sleeper was the actual add to smell, but they didnt even say they even meant smelling. They just meant you like prepared for rough sleeping. So they specifically said smell in the bill. They didnt mean smelling. They, the woman said she didnt braverman say, we didnt really mean exactly. They said smelling. They said smelling. They said smelling. They said smelling. They did smelling, but they did mean it that way. Maybe they did. Anyway, the point is, the point is this is one of these too late, you know, the elections coming up in half a year or something, maybe , i year or something, maybe, i dont know, when is the election going to be in november . May next year. So at least the most the year, january next year, most of the year. So the year, january next year, most of the year. So theyre most of the year. So theyre saying i just i most of the year. So theyre saying ijust i dont most of the year. So theyre saying i just i dont like this. I didnt like this plan because its so anti. Its like youre welcome im coming home. Were going home late at night and well look a bit tired and were just like, maybe you smell a lot and we smell a lot. From what . From stephen. Hi. Hugging. You famously say you dont brush your teeth. I think youd be sent straight to prison, yeah. Could be. Id be in favour. I do not brush my teeth. So, steve, the bill is still happening. That should be clarified. But theyve watered it down, taken out this smelling stuff. And the idea is that the police have to now offer advice or options to rather than just arresting people for being smelly. Essentially now, the whole point is that they they have to then offer advice, not that thats necessarily going to deal with the issue. What it seems to me is this idea that kind of like just build these extra flats, this is what labour are saying and yes, build properties. And this guy from christ is saying, youve got to build thousands more social homes. Thats a great idea. But ihave homes. Thats a great idea. But i have friends who work in this industry or industry, but in not for crisis, but for their competitors and its not just about building homes. Thats the problem. Oh, its thats the problem. Oh, its not 100 solution. Just give properties, open doors and theyll just find their way in. There are people with Mental Health issues, which means they wouldnt accept the health, the help. But you solve some of the problem by by having extra housing, and then you find other ways to tackle it. Do you not coming up with a new bill makes sense. The vagrancy act was 200 years old. It needed reworking wording. It was a braverman thing of putting words into look tough. Even Ian Duncan Smiths taking part in rewording it. So if hes doing it, hes watered it down nicely. It actually makes a lot more sense now. It will do some good. All right. Well, there we go, we made it halfway , and weve we made it halfway, and weve got a lot more gas in the tank. Obese, skivers, underpaid female basketball players. Question mark and woke punch and judy. Yeah, this. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, this. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I welcome back to headliners. And its tuesdays independent. Lewis telling us why youve never had a day off. Is this about fat people . Is this the one were doing . Its always about fat people. Its always about fat people. Obese worker. No, i wasnt always fat. But i was fat for about five, five years. Obese workers in europe are far more likely to take time off sick, study finds. This is shock. Shock . Exactly. We all know this. First of all, first of all, food. The food that people are eating causes sickness. It makes people sick by making them fat. So if youre going to get fat, youre going to get sick. If youre going to get sick, youre going to take time off. So i dont even know why this is news. This is a non story. We know that. But theyre trying to do is theyre trying to present it as is, like theres fat people and theres bad food. But the rest of the food, the reading is okay, those people are just eating. I think they really talk about that. It seems to be more that people are calling awareness to the impact on our society. The millions of pounds this is costing us, not just the Health Services nhs. In our case, 19 is 19 million or 19 billion. The billion billion. Yeah. And then theres also like another 80, million just from loss of earnings. Yeah. But why are they saying that. But why are they saying that. Well, because theyd like us to be thin and ask him. Ask him the question on. Ask him the question on. Well, why are they saying that his productivity isnt if you want to get productivity up, start by having large people who stay at home. You know, they struggle to get out the front door for so many reasons with one of them. But is they , you one of them. But is they, you know, they get ill, they stay ill for longer as well. So not only more likely to take time off, more likely to spend longer sitting around watching daytime tv. But answer joshs question, but answerjoshs question, he had a very good question for you. Why is why is this in the independent, which is a newspaper . Newspaper . That is so because instead of just talking about the health cost, theyre talking about the economic cost. Yeah, but why do they care about this . About this . What do they care about the economy . Yeah, its a really good question that. Yeah, thats a really good question. I mean, this is a european, study, theres the European Congress on obesity, which is taking place in venice. Its got fantastic nibbles, lots of celery sticks. Celery sticks. I imagine theyre christians. Theres no food. Yeah, thats why theyre wondering why people are fat. But do you think that theres any of this, your normal thing, steve, where you go on about, like, theres the cause and the effect and the mixing up correlation versus causation , correlation versus causation, no, because i think, look, ive spent im the largest one on the panel spent im the largest one on the panel. I can speak from the for the fat people when my weight goes down and when im bigger, it is just harder to do anything. Its easier to be, have your self esteem and energy absolutely thwarted when you cant even fit into your trousers. So of course, you stay at home. You just. You get weaker. Do you think, before we quickly move on, steve, and id like you to ask louis as well. Do you think people will start getting angry towards obese people to say , look, the cost to people to say, look, the cost to our economy, the cost to our Health Services . Do you think that theres a chance of this kind of some being, some kind of backlash . The normal pushback on smoking is how much duty you pay. So as a fat person, ill say, do you know how much vat i pay on my snacks . Im keeping this nafion on my snacks . Im keeping this nation afloat , actually. Thank nation afloat, actually. Thank you very much. What do you think, louis . What do you think, louis . I think thats an interesting point. I hadnt thought about that. Are people getting angry at fat people . Im getting less angry at fat people because i see just how much food is around. Its not like its almost not. When i was fat, i wasnt thinking, oh, im doing a bad thing. I dont im not angry at fat people, but once you tell a fat people, but once you tell a fat person, you do not need to be fat and forget about this ozempic im just saying the kind of food youre eating, you do not need to be fat. Okay . All right. Steve, the times. And who wants our kids to be a different kind of thick, give children less homework to keep them active. Study says limiting their homework means they spend 45 minutes less a day sitting down, but its the good sitting down. Its the homework. Its very its the homework. Its very much feels like because the study they did, they looked at onune study they did, they looked at Online Gaming homework and tuition. And this story just goes, well, lets do less homework. Then they got like, lets do less of the Online Gaming. Also, bear in mind that this study took place in china. This study took place in china. So its not saying we need our kids need to do less homework because theyre already doing a lot more homework. The amount of homework our kids are doing in comparison in the only solution would be make them do less homework. Make them be stupid so they dont like maths. Maybe they dont like maths. Maybe they like sports more. Maybe they like sports more. Maybe they they have got friends. Those kind of people i never liked at school. Theyll be the ones who go out and stay fit. Youre talking about yourself really . But i dont know. You saw through that thin veneer, louis, this is one of those annoying things where, of course, the headune things where, of course, the headline doesnt match the real material here in the article, because its saying, yeah, give them less homework. But as it points out, theyre actually really what they cut down on. What seemed to work was cutting down on gamers time where not the parents were told to do this, but the actual companies that provide Online Gaming now were said. You have to restrict individuals to a certain number of hours a week, and thats what worked. And what theyre saying here is that take the power away from the parents. Now, that would, of course , lead to would, of course, lead to accusations of the nanny state, but it worked. But it worked. It worked in this study. You cannot believe it. First of all, it was in the times, which is like lies. It was from china , like lies. It was from china, which is a lying culture, the whole chinese culture. The ccp , whole chinese culture. The ccp, the Chinese Communist party is a cult, and theyre on the way out. Its going to end in a minute. There are only one state in china. You dont know what any of this, which is true. Its it comes from china where they just want to tell people what to do. Thats all these people do, is to tell people what to do. I think wed have to read this 3 or 4 times. There are also researchers in the university of bristol have sort of got some of the quotes. So unless youre saying i mean bristol, they are wronguns , but bristol, they are wronguns, but theyre not quite. I think they are wronguns too. I would say that theyre i dont want to say that because my kids at school at bristol, but they the point they make is that its easier for a parent. Instead of saying, im saying no , say if you do it, its no, say if you do it, its against the law. Tell them that anyway, their kids, they dont know what the law is. Make it up. And my kid is 14. He thinks hes not allowed a mobile phone. I want to give you a phone. Im desperate to. Im not true. That isnt true. But he does what . Tiktok. And hes doing my absolute nothing. Lewis. The guardian has an incredible story. Now, not only do women now play. Now, not only do women now play basketball, but they actually expect to be paid for it, they do expect to be paid for, which is a mistake. And this is this is this woman, caitlin clark. And she will earn caitlin clark. And she will earn 2 of the median nba salary. 2 of the median nba salary. Nbas National Basketball association in america. God bless america , is this is this bless america, is this is this as ridiculous as it sounds . Because she was just signed on to be with the nba. But the truth is , is that the people truth is, is that the people arent really into into watching women play basketball. It can be very entertaining to watch women jump very entertaining to watch women jump and cavort around, but they theyre not nobodys going to these games. Its not like whats going on in american basketball. So theyre paying so basketball. So theyre paying so much less money. And this is a typical article in the guardian, which is, they should be women should be paid as much as men. But women are not as interesting as basketball players to get the money. Well, its slightly gets a bit more nuanced than that later on in the article , but for the on in the article, but for the point that youre saying the first three. Yeah, but the point but the point is the nba actually, i believe, subsidises , actually, i believe, subsidises, yes, the womens nba. So there would be the point is if it talks about women should earn should get what they earned fairly. We go well in that case technically shed earn negative money. Im sorry, but but is it. But thats what im saying. But it does get a bit more. No, but it does get a bit more. No, but it gets more nuanced later because they said that theyve signed a bad tv deal. Theyre going to break away from the nwa, nwa, nba. Yeah, always nwa, nwa, nba. Yeah, always break away from nwa. Eazy e and, but and when they do the deals will become a little bit better. Yeah. Thats why it cant be solved at the moment. I mean, early on, it makes a really good point that if they got paid the same as the men, it would just financially cripple the clubs. They dont have the money because theyre not getting the money coming in because no ones watching them. But then when you look at the Profit Sharing deal, the men get 50 of the money to be paid to them. The women only get like 50 of it. Beyond profit expectations. So all you could do is just like, oh, actually, well earn even more and the women will get paid less. So the contract is unfair. But the headline makes it look like, oh, they should be paid the same as men. And thats that wouldnt be. So somewhere in the middle. Now, theres something in this article. I know its the guardian, but i do have to bring it out because it is the its the thing thats wound me up. The most in in a few weeks of pretty annoying newspapers, is they talk about here. They said that they only they earn , so that they only they earn, so theyre talking about this individual here. She earns slightly more in four years than the average male dentist makes in one. Yeah. Why bring dentists . Yeah. Why bring dentists . Why male dentist . Like. Like why male dentist . Like. Like there are no female dentist. Like a female dentist and a male dentist dont earn exactly the same because its such a lot. And then they finish the article off with going, and they go, and maybe one day theyll earn far more than the men who might treat their teeth or whatever its like. Again just go to a female. Why do you have to bring male dentists in . Because thats the big difference. Why do you have to. Why do you have to. No, no, im just saying, of course its the guardian, but its ridiculous. Steve, talk us through this male story concerning the new judy and judy show, that thats not the way to. Thats not the way to do it. Theres the voice, puppeteer. 20 strikes, a woke blow. Theres the word well come back to for womens rights after reworking misogynistic punch and judy routine. Dont worry, they still row. Its just that they dont hit each other. She still nags him, but theyre not allowed to hit each other , so it still hit each other, so it still sounds like absolute hell, dont worry as well. They still hit the policeman. So Domestic Abuse bad. Attacking one of our first responders. Its a bit of a laugh, isnt it . Sounds a bit. Black. Lives matter. Yeah, hes gonna have a laugh about that in ninth. They point out in 1947. So they try. They council tried to ban punch and judy come to today and this spike lidington is invented. This version where theres no Domestic Abuse in theres no Domestic Abuse in there at all. Its part of a developed with the university of exeter as part of their duty product project, named after richard and judy. Because we all richard and judy. Because we all remember, we all. Let me finish the joke. The joke. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Oh, sorry. Sorry. We all remember who interrupts tonight. Interrupts tonight. Lewis are we . Lewis are we . We all remember the episode of this morning where judy had a black eye. Do you remember that one . It black eye. Do you remember that one . It actually happened strangely. No, no. No, no. No, no. Well, its. And it was, as we eventually found out, not the worst thing that happened at this morning backstage. But anyway, but its interesting. They only do the one side gender on this, and its one of those stats that the way we talk about Domestic Abuse and it makes it seem like its a one direction problem. And i was listening to a podcast last week and its1 in 3 women will be affected by it, one in 6 or 7 men. Its just half the way we talk about it. Half the way we talk about it. It should be one of the men who those are the men who admit it. We dont know how many, how many men have been bell lewis, did you have punch and judy in when you were . We didnt. We didnt. We didnt have this. And when you find out. What about i know what punch and judy is now. Dont you dont want to see your kids being being having to see somebody being hit in school. Do you want to see that . You dont want to see it . So i think i hate to say it, i think theyre right. Not to allow that to happenin right. Not to allow that to happen in in the school. How dare you . This is a british institution. Youre going to come on here. Youre going to take the money from gb news and then youre going to say ban punch and judy. Its a double insult called what im getting the times next has good news, lewis, for those who dont live in london and want to see a stabbing. Yeah, well, this is this is the. Yeah. God bless this guy elon musk Wins Court Battle to show Sydney Church stabbing on x. There was a church there was a stabbing in in sydney. Just because they didnt cut to show your stabbing motion there. Well am i allowed to do that . There was a yeah it was bad, i dont know. They almost killed the guy i think. And they and stabbed in the head. Got stabbed in the head. He was bishop. He was a bishop. So he was a christian guy. And he was stabbed by a muslim guy. And the australian said, please take that off of our twitter thats going on around australia. And elon musk said, no, im not going to do it. But but facebook did it, which is why im not on threads. Im only on im only on twitter very quickly. Steve, this is a big deal because he did take it off or he did a geo tag or something on it , but they wanted it a geo block, but they wanted it to take it off the whole world. Yeah. And hes like, you dont control the whole world. Australia. Yeah, this is a big deal did i get it wrong . Did i get it wrong . Did i get it wrong . No, no. But i think john makes a really interesting point about the fact that its easy to circumvent the geo tagging, but that doesnt mean then you get to ban it across the whole world just because some of your citizens know how to use a vpn doesnt mean its wipe it off the internet. No australia, of all the countries to think you run the world. So he didnt force it. So he didnt force it. Yeah. And its not its not actually that easy to use a vpn. Let me just give you an example. Louis, do you know what a vpn is . Yes i do no okay. Just the final section to go. And, you know, hold back a few calls. I was thinking that why was i 50 christians internal welcome back to the final section of headliners. And just a little message for david. 86 18761 on x stroke twitter. Yeah. Whatever, mate, right, 18761 on x stroke twitter. Yeah. Whatever, mate, right , steve, whatever, mate, right, steve, lets kick off with tuesdays telegraph and a shout out to our viewers on youtube. The internet is good for you. Finds oxford study amid panic over i. We will look back on the good old days of seeing real people. The other side of the screen says an expert. Well, that doesnt make it seem like its good for you. It just makes its good for you. It just makes it seem like its going to get a lot worse. Yes. So enjoy the rubbish that it is right now. But experts analysed more than 2. 4 Million People from 168 countries and found that the overwhelming impact of the internet is good. And actually it makes sense if you pause for a second and think, have you been on the internet . Because its great. Its loads of stuff on there are loads of stuff. It connects you to people that you couldnt be connected to. You dont need to go to a library. You can learn loads of things. All of the good sides of the internet we absolutely take for granted now and then say god sent this message that really annoyed me. Like, imagine hosting a tv show and being like all het up about someone who tweeted a thing that kind of thing. Thats just so petty, so petty. Who on earth would be that pathetic . Who would do that kind of thing . Louis internet good or bad . And they by the way, in this article, they dont actually say any reasons why its good. Yeah. Yeah. So is it better . Is it worse . I dont know what it is. I know the world hasnt gotten much better in the past 20 years, but some people have felt this better. You know , im sitting better. You know, im sitting here, sitting here discussing something, and somebody has a question. You can go, well, what is the you know, something you could ask a question of the internet. Show me pictures of louis when he was fat. Yes, exactly. Id like to see that. Were going to have to pull one up anyway. You know what ill do if i see a picture . The answer is this is the most non non non non non story ever. But i think as as steve rightly said its not that the internet is good for you. Theyre kind of just going yeah its do you remember when it was bad and now its worse. Well guess what. In ten years time were going to be going oh wasnt that good. Its ridiculous right. Louis the male next. And whats bafta chosen as its top boy . I had a problem with this one. Bafta view. This is the male bafta, bafta, bafta, bafta viewers. After woke they view as fury after woke judges pick top boy over happy valley for best drama series. Succession and the bear and the bear lose out. Youre in top boy, arent you . Youre one of the im in a lot of im in a lot of these series, but i dont i dont even know what they are because theyre called like, funny names to prevent people from finding out that im in it anyway, i dont know, i dont know any of these shows. I dont know any of these shows. I dont know any of the people that got it. Theyre basically complaining that the people that we liked didnt win. So this is something that happens every year. Theyre saying that people who are woke, they used reasons every every year are is subjective , have you year are is subjective, have you seen either of these two shows . Because it seems like the happy valley thing was a genuine phenomenon. Yeah. And top boy was not. No. But i think everyones forgetting what awards ceremonies are. Theyre not whats the best, most popular thing that would simply be look at the viewing figures and tally up us, do a spreadsheet. Lets up us, do a spreadsheet. Lets all go home in case we headliners a win this easily. Yeah this is award ceremonies. Are people in the industry slapping themselves on the back going, it really is very good. So dont expect the popular things to win. Expect the pretentious things to win. Its the baftas , for crying out loud. The baftas, for crying out loud. This. Having said that, i once worked on a bafta nominated show that year was good, but for the rest of it, this is dont expect the things i think they like. What theyre trying to say is that top boy wasnt these sort of pretentious show about males saying that, so why do they , as saying that, so why do they, as you say, its all subjective. If youve got five nominees, its possible to win by getting only 20 of the vote, or slightly over 20 of the vote. So it makes a lot of people unhappy, which is why this is just a click thing. I cant believe the succession didnt win international. Thats my thing at times. Now steve, a fan of christian rock, you are. How does this story make you feel . Sunday service for swifties aims to attract younger church goers. This is tiny wakeman performs taylor swift songs at a service. Oh, this is the cringiest thing. Theres nothing more embarrassing than a religiously type person trying to be cool. Hey. And with it like some some supply teacher whos whos a christian who goes, actually, you know, i knew a man who was in a gang. Actually, he was jesus christ. Are all cringe. So get ready to clench when you read more of the details. How they do dancing. This service is dedicated to the ubiquitous swift. They say, no one expected that taylor swift would have such a response. Said this whatever the why not . Taylor swift has a response in anything, turns up anywhere, and suddenly everyone absolutely loves it. To address gen z in their own language, he started thinking outside the box. He also wants to do events with previous musical artists, including bob dylan, madonna and michael jackson. Oh yeah, thats, thats. You can take the altar boy out the priest, but, whatever that. Whatever that. I think that guy was making a joke. He was just saying, how can we make money out of this thing . I dont know, the fact is, they like taylor swift because shes about as good looking as you get. You can get. And thats without being too good looking. That was jesus main message, right . Moving on to the that was jesus main message, right . Moving on to the mail and lewis me oh me. Oh no question, spooky spooky mind reading implant place. I read this thing i didnt understand it myself. Ive been. Ive been really bad today. This is the one, i think, the worst show ive ever done, steve, lets move on. Spooky mind. Lets move on. Spooky mind. Dont. Dont interrupt me. Spooky mind reading implant plays deep inside your brain. Can decode your internal monologue with 80 accuracy. Well, thats the headline. As as josh says, thats one of those articles that has nothing to do with. Theres no 80 anywhere in the world because you dont have an internal monologue. You just literally say it. I just say very quickly when i finish more mail, and its the best story of the night and made me super happy. Theres just one problem, steve, this is so good. Yeah, the hairdresser is introduced chat free silent services for clients who hate having conversations. I. I hate chit chat so much i went bald and now look. But they came up with this plan. As an introvert , with this plan. As an introvert, you can just suggest that you want the silent treatment and then you go in and they dont do it. You can do the same with uben it. You can do the same with uber, by the way. You just tick the box that says youre hearing impaired so they dont even try and speak to you. What about you, louis . I mean, you still have haircuts, dont you, i like people talking to me. Yeah. So thats thats what i. I havent gotten a haircut professionally. I cut it myself. Everybody knows i brush myself. Everybody knows i brush my own teeth, and i cut my own hair. Wow. There we go. Show is nearly over, anybody . Thank you, thank you. Offer him a free haircut. Well see, lets take another quick look at tuesdays front pages. The daily mail as mpix slashes heart attack and stroke risk. Telegraph china fury at rest of uk spies. Guardian labour report calls for rent caps to tackle growing housing crisis. Financial times.

Hi there, time for a look at the weather with the met office for gb news. Cloud and rain moves east very slowly over the next 24 hours. Showers follow the main band of rain that weve seen across western parts during the day, and its going to turn cooler across the country as we lose the warm sunshine that weve seen. So much of during the last few days. We do keep some clear spells in the east on monday night, but it otherwise there is this cloud and rain progressing its way very slowly eastwards, followed by showers into the southwest, interspersed by clear spells where we do get some clear spells in the west. Temperatures will dip into the single figures, but otherwise its 12 to 15 celsius. First thing tuesday and a damp, dreary start for central and southern scotland, northern and eastern england. That rain really persists throughout much of the day. It does become more fragmented into the afternoon, so on and off rain and nothing particularly heavy. But a marked contrast compared with recent days, with temperatures back to 16 to 18 celsius, a little bit cooler than that, where weve got the persistent rain and where weve got the low cloud hugging the coast further west, we keep some clear spells on tuesday and into wednesday clear spells, some sunshine in between , any showers. But those showers will be quite lively across southwest england in particular, a few rumbles of thunder around driest and brightest for northeast scotland. But otherwise weve got the cloud and some damp weather to contend with in the east. Thursday and friday. Further sunny spells and showers, temperatures not far from average. From average. Looks like things are heating up boxt boiler year. Sponsors of weather on its 9 pm. This is patrick christys. Tonight with me. Christys. Tonight with me.
