Headliners. Hello and welcome to headliners im nick dixon, taking you through tomorrows top stories for the next hour, and im joined by headliners ogs leo kearse and josh howie. Its ukraine versus israel. Just came ukraine versus israel. Just came up with that in ukraine one last night in the boxing. Yeah they did not many israeli boxers. They prefer the older invasion. Sorry. Just staring at me blankly. I just staring at me blankly. I just thought yeah he deserved the win though i was. I watched it with mates. It was great. Brilliant. It was. It was one of those boxing matches that because most boxing matches are rubbish these days and it was really exciting. He is good. I am a biggest tyson fury fan, probably in the world, probably even more than his dad. So i was gutted and i did cry, but uzukis my second favourite, you know, tyson fury heckled me. Heckled me. Did he. 7 did he . Yeah, he was a comedy store, manchester, and he stood up when i came on stage. He he just stood up and walked out and his, one of his underlings went, dont say a word. But i stood dont say a word. But i stood there for ten minutes and i didnt say anything. I just got funnier and funnier. Its like, guys, what do you want me to do . Tyson fury said, ive lost anything, i cant. I wish i could help you. So what youre saying is you were backing usyk, but yeah, i mean, when tyson fury walks out, hes nearly seven foot. Thats one of the most conspicuous. And hes famous. Everybody just shut off. Its the worst walk out even off. Its the worst walk out ever. Okay. All right. Well lets have a quick look at the front pages then. So the telegraph goes with pms horror and regret over blood scandal. The express has least we can do apology to blood scandal victims. The guardian iranian president feared dead after helicopter crash. The times labour plan for gender change to be made easier. The ai revolutionary ai trial offers Breast Cancer for hope millions on nhs, reveals sunak. And finally, the daily star. And now its finally, the daily star. And now wsfime finally, the daily star. And now its time for the better forecast, which is about weather. And theyve also got a story about man city, unfortunately winning. And those were the front pages. So what are the guardian going with . So the guardian lead with iranian president feared dead after helicopter crash. Of course a lot of guardian readers will fear that hes dead. Will fear that hes dead. A lot of iranians are hoping that hes dead. Theyre already setting off fireworks , and it setting off fireworks, and it looks like something has happened to him. It looks like he might not be coming back. So the helicopter crashed in a fog covered mountainside. Theres a search and rescue thing , meshing theres a search and rescue thing, meshing going on right now, but theres mixed messages coming from them. So one official said that at least one passenger and one crew member had been in contact with rescuers and other, people. So the iranian red crescent rescuers later said that no helicopter had been found. So is it a coup . Is it israel taking revenge . Is it just a crash , i revenge . Is it just a crash, i have exclusive information on this. I, spoke to some contacts of mine earlier within mossad and we, the jewish people and israel, are arranged for the mountain to be put there. And the fog. Yeah because thats what ive been reading on twitter. Yeah. And thats what, like, thats what israel does. Thats what we do. Thats what we do. We put them out in there. We arrange for the fog mission successful. Yeah. I mean helicopters, even when you dont have conspiracies like that, that definitely happen. Helicopters arent that safe, are they . Im starting to think famous people still die on them all the time. Kobe bryant yeah, yeah yeah yeah, lots of people though. Theres the guy who owned the leicester city. Yeah, yeah. Leicester city. Yeah, yeah. No. Normally these kind of news you think oh this is , you news you think oh this is, you know, a human being, the loss of life. This guy his nickname was the butcher of tehran. Yeah. When he was younger in the islamic revolution, he was responsible for, you know, hundreds of thousands of deaths of people being hung. But he didnt have a team. This was not didnt have a team. This was not a good guy. He didnt have a chain of butcher shops. Yeah yeah. Well, he was called it. Yeah. Terrible quy he was called it. Yeah. Terrible guy. And also he was hes a hardliner. Hes expected to replace Ayatollah Khomeini , replace Ayatollah Khomeini, whos also not a great guy and is 85 years old. And this, you know, iran as they saw protests after the killing of mahsa amini, you know, a girl was was killed for, for not wearing a headscarf, which for some reason, a lot of people on the left want to replicate in this country. But, but irans been in turmoil , and country. But, but irans been in turmoil, and this could be something that precipitates it over the over the edge and, you know, possibly into free society. Oh, it could go start world war iii. Yeah, its one or the other. It could be good news. Be happy with that. Both are good news. Yeah. Lastly, does he actually have any power . Because obviously khamenei is the ayatollah. I mean, does the president , if he was being groomed as his replacement . And also this is a foreign secretary, i believe, and various other people. So but we still dont even know have any confirmation of it. But i know that there are lots of iranians out there around the world. I believe theyre celebrating in front of the Iranian Embassy right now. Yeah, they are very happy about this. Yeah. All right. Well, what about the times, then . Josh oh, god. Not such good news, labour plan for gender change to be made easier, just when you kind of hope as our next most likely government kind of gets it on certain issues, they come up with stuff like this to appease to. And this is the thing is, i dont think i dont know who they think theyre appeasing to on this kind of thing because theyre basically saying that this, this, its not self id like the snp were putting through necessarily, where someone could just declare that theyre a woman or a man and have the full rights of the law behind them. But they would now need one person instead of a panel of people and possibly a gp now gps their general practice. They dont have specific necessary information about this Mental Health condition, which is what it is. Condition, which is what it is. And the reason why there is a panel of people is its a safeguarding issue to protect the people who are changing gender themselves. So those people , because a lot of them people, because a lot of them theres been theres a very high incidence of, neurodiversity , incidence of, neurodiversity, and confusion also , trauma from and confusion also, trauma from their past. And its to make sure that that person is really wants to go out. Just being able to get one person to just kind of sign it off is essentially still self id. Yeah. And as you say, its not really going to win them any votes surely. I mean its so against the public mood on this issue isnt it. I mean is starmerjust gonna have to deal with these this mad left of his party . Oh, this is great news for women like me. I think this is josh says its a Mental Health condition. Its not at all. I was born in the wrong body, josh. Right. I know as a woman. No, i identify as a woman. I dont conform to traditional, you know, stereotypes of what a woman looks like. Because, you know, im progressive, but i am a woman. And keir starmer. I can tell you why. Because of the beard. Thats how i know now, these days, like most feminists, ive got a beard. But yeah, this is labour are rolling back the restrictions. Just when, you know, the government weve got now, which, you know, its not the most conservative of conservative governments, but they did you know, they had the cash review and, they put some restrictions. Theyve rolled back the idea of, you know, transitioning children and drugging them and maiming them and sterilising them, which, you know, i dont know. I mean, i dont mind if liberals do it to their children, but, you know, so, so why not do it . And putting male rapists in prisons, i think putting male rapists in female prisons, it adds an extra layer of jeopardy. Youre definitely going to pay your tv licence as a woman. If your tv licence as a woman. If you if you think you might be going to jail with somebody, you know, whos a male rapist, thats certainly one view. I mean, im just concerned labour are going to do nothing about all the actual problems like immigration and so on, and theyre actually just going to tinker around and do even worse woke stuff like this. I mean, it has to be said, this isnt official policy, its something theyre investigating and all of that stuff, but you just would hope that they would just start to get it. Yeah. And its just like every time just get just govern the country. Well, stop with this ridiculous stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Well, what about the telegraph, leo, so the telegraph have. Well, theyve telegraph have. Well, theyve got a mention of the prime ministers horror and regret over the blood scandal, which, i mean, its shocking. Thats a scandal that went on so long and shows that, you know, you cant always trust what governments tell you. If they say that, you know, this thing thats going into your arm is good for you, sometimes its not. But anyway, theres an analogy there. I think in more modern terms, couldnt possibly speculative, i thought, i thought it would be conspiracy. Did you not know that you were doing that . No. No idea. But yeah, the other story is that protest groups, this is a bit of good news. Protest groups could be forced to pay compensation for disruption. So this is if an individual, business or institution can show that they endured loss , distress or endured loss, distress or suffering from an illegal protest, which is the Just Stop Oil ones, they could be entitled to court order compensation from activists. So this isnt a activists. So this isnt a restriction on civil liberties. This is illegal protests. And, this is illegal protests. And, you know, its wrong that, you know, Small Businesses and bystanders should have to bear the cost of it. And also Just Stop Oil can afford it. Theyre all really posh. Theyre all called like phoebe and trixibelle and things like that. And also theyre backed by a Millionaire Energy baron. So just a boiler basically sort of street militia for, for a green energy baron who wants everybody to use his green energy instead of, instead of using energy generated from fossil fuels or whatever. So, you know , whatever. So, you know, obviously hes got a hes got an incentive, hes making money off it. Hes got an incentive to in case thats libellous. Those are leos views and theyre satirical. Josh, what do you think . Yeah, i think its a good idea. I think you know what you want to. Theyre not going to jail. Most of want to. Theyre not going to jail. Most of them. I dont think it. Has anybody ever been to jail . I dont know, i think theyre kind of. Theres not even any jail spaces for them anyway, but they, you know, hit them in the pocket and they might think twice about this stuff. And also, i dont think just people like drivers. I think people, you know, there are those those guys who are standing on the tube, people couldnt get to work. I think if people are losing money from shifts, i think they should be able to directly go, you cause me a £50 that day, i want it. Yeah, i think thats totally fair. Okay. Fair. Okay. Very briefly. Should we look at the star and this annoying man city win and its going to be hot or something, yeah. There be hot or something, yeah. There was some football club. Did something. Something. Yeah, thats called a goal anyway. And, but yeah, but but the much more Important News is that summer might be here. Its going to be for half term, its going to be for half term, its going to be for half term, its going to be hottest mate in 150 years. Theyre saying. And, i dont know, its just exciting. It felt like a long winter. It feels like. Its like you get like two hot days and then it goes back again. And i just want goes back again. And i just want to put my winter stuff away. Its just clogging up the hallway. Yeah. Sun kills me, so i dont i dont elianne it. But what do you think, leo . I dont know how you think, leo . I dont know how you can have an opinion on the sun, but im going to. Im going to anyway for balance. Give us some balance on the weather. Well, they always say. I mean, ive seen people on twitter saying, oh, this is evidence of Climate Change. Were going to have the hottest me in 150 years. Well, if its Climate Change now, why was it so hot 150 years ago . Great point. All right. Thats the front pages dealt with. But coming up, why immigration is increasing your rent. What happened to the black lives matter . Millions. And will trump give himself a third term . Many soon. Welcome back. Im nate dixon, still here with headliners. Legends leo kearse and josh howie. And leo is laughing at her. But its absolutely true. Lets do the telegraph then. And when they said immigration enriches us it turns out they were talking about landlords. Leo yeah, yeah. So record immigration is behind a third of rent rises. So in two the years to june 2023, immigration led to an additional 430,000 households needing to privately rent homes. And this means that rents have climbed 11 higher than they would otherwise. Otherwise have been, according to capital economics. So they have risen over the last three years. Theyve risen by 30, and 11 of that is due to immigration. Theyve calculated, and this is in stark contrast to the previous decade, where rents actually climbed at a slightly lower rate than wage , increases. Lower rate than wage, increases. So 26. So in just a few years, as weve seen this huge surge in immigration, weve had no net migration of, i think around about 730,000 a year. So and people say, oh, but it doesnt it doesnt affect any. Theres no extra pressure on Public Services or housing or anything. Its like, are you mental . People arent bringing a semi detached house with them when they come across the channel are on those dinghies. But you know what . And everyone always says, oh, its just we havent built enough. But obviously, as someone says here, no, its both. We havent built enough and weve brought in loads of people. Yeah. And we were told its for economic growth. And then we learn hang on, rents go up. Its not really proven that it actually does grow the economy. It sets in terms of gdp, which is meaningless if gdp per capita goes down. Yeah. So im saying what was the point of all this immigration josh. Well, theres a few things here. It makes a just a jump where it says and thats why this is happening, whereas it doesnt actually prove that at all because i read an article, the other a few days ago, which basically said that the reason for the rent increases was because they hadnt got a hold of the mortgages. First of all, was a big part of the increase of mortgages. And so people were of mortgages. And so people were selling houses and there was less profit for them to squeeze up. So they were increasing the rent on that, but also because the tory government hadnt put through all these policies to help stabilise the market. So im not saying that immigration isnt a part of it, but it just in terms of its sort of proving something. It doesnt actually prove it. It just kind of at one point it just goes. And thats because of that. And it doesnt actually really get into the proof that it has. It actually really get into the proof that it has. It just has a correlation between it. It just goes theres an increase of numbers. Theres increases. But the point is that there are other factors that come into play. One of them being housebuilding. There are other there are other factors. They just say people say, oh, were not building enough houses. I mean, maybe we dont need more houses, maybe we just need more houses, maybe we just need fewer people. And, you know, the population is stabilising. I dont think we need to isnt saying its behind a third of rent rises implying that there are other factors. There are other factors. Yeah. No, it does, but those other factors is already dealt with it. They basically saying the other two thirds were increases because of wages. Like it always increases anyway because of the increase, because the two are tied together. Because as you said, so the two thirds were about wages. Theyre saying that leave the 11 is just about immigration. And im saying it doesnt factor in at all. No, they do these other factors. They dont just, say its due to wage increases because because wages didnt increase that much. So. Well, they did they actually they increased what, this is nearly double the seven. So normally, as you said, they , they increase in rent they, they increase in rent mirrors pretty much exactly the increase in wages. Right. So increase in wages. Right. So increase in wages were only 17 account not accounting for the rest of the percentage. But thats because of immigration. Well its not because of immigration is because of these other factors as well. Im not saying its not a factor. Of course its a factor. Im just saying it makes this big jump here. Just seems its like saying, oh, look, 430,000 people want to buy this mars bar, but the price of that mars bar isnt going to go up. And theres enough of that mars bar to go around. Its obviously. But also so many more people of them rent, 80 of them come in and they dont let them get given houses by the government. So we want to do two on this, but what are the good things that make it worthwhile to rent going up . If you could make the case for me, but im seeing a lot of negatives with immigration, you know what i mean . Im not seeing all these. So basically, a lot of economists say that our economy is like a ponzi scheme and because weve got an ageing population, we need to bring people in at the bottom to sustain these people. And, you know, a low birth rate. And yeah, weve got a low birth rate as well. So weve got a top heavy population that are needing a lot of care, and theyre going to be dropping out of the workforce. However, were bringing a lot of people in, not at the bottom where theyre going to work and sustain the economy. Were bringing them in at the top where they need to be sustained by the economy, and theyre bringing, you know, dependents and things like that. So we cant even get a basic ponzi scheme. Right. All right. Well, weve got to move on. Lets do the telegraph and a former leader of the scottish greens has suggested the party should try a new strategy called not being totally mental. Josh . Yeah, itd be a good idea. Scottish greens expelled 13 members for declaring that sex is a biological reality. And this is robin harper, the partys first parallel parliamentarian. And he said that it was an utterly laughable decision. And he says that there should be, i hope its a he, you dont know that. That would be ironic for the name , thered be, ironic for the name, thered be, he wants a. Or she wants a no confidence vote in the leadership. So what these 13 members said was that biological women, theyre entitled to sex based rights and protections. And they expressed concern that gender critical views were being silenced right now , those are silenced right now, those are two facts. Theyre laid out as facts. And the to then expel facts. And the to then expel people for that. And what the green party have said is that its bigotry and, that they have a right. Their statement at the end was the most stupid thing even end was the most stupid thing ever. Next month is pride month. Yeah. And then theres pride month after that. And then the other pride month. Theres about five prime months out there. And we stand in solidarity with the lgbt, q plus community now and forever. Forever. I dont understand who this is, one who this is appealing to, and two, what the link is between being green and all this gender stuff. The cis people emit more carbon or something i dont understand. Well, the weird thing is the green party just seems to be, a cloak that any activist can wear. Weve seen , weve seen wear. Weve seen, weve seen islamists, you know, stand as green. Green party candidates. Now were seeing gender ideologists , you know, be ideologists, you know, be driving, driving their, driving the thing. And, you know, and to the thing. And, you know, and to be honest, gender ideology, because of all the surgery, it puts a lot more plastic in the environment. So its actually a not not very green thing to do. But basically theyve expelled people for blasphemy. So theyve questioned the, the current, you know, the current religion of gender ideology by saying sex is a biological reality and leo is a biological reality and leo is a woman just because he says hes a woman. I am a woman, im a real woman. Keir starmer says. So, and weve seen this with other things, you know, with migration status. You know, josh was just questioning basic economic theory when it comes to how house prices and rent increases, Climate Change as well. You cant you cant question that at all. Critical race theory, anything that contradicts that is slammed as racist and incorrect. So yeah, were basically seeing the return of blasphemy laws and all. Like you say, the green party is a weird sort of skin suit for woke views. Well, they become the party of cranks basically. Yeah, a lot of cranks basically. Yeah, a lot of them have been kicked out of laboun of them have been kicked out of labour. Arent welcome there because of their anti semitism. And there are a lot of them have gone to greens basically. Imagine how cranky you have to be to be kicked out of the greens. Thats the next level. Theres nowhere left to go after that. All right, lets do the times. And theyre asking, where did the black lives matter millions go. Good to see Mainstream Media getting on this scandal just four years later. Yeah. So yeah, this is, basically somebody went to, minneapolis to, you know, interview people and find out, you know, all these all these organisations that are set up and, you know, funded people gave donations. Also corporations, the Washington Post estimates that 50 billion was pledged by giant corporate donors, over the last few years, mega funders like george soros, who dropped 220 million into fancy non profits and a lot of ordinary people sent in small donations. So where did all this money go . I where did all this money go . I mean, people, small organisations were raising insane amounts of money just through qr codes, sticking them up on posters and, on the internet, on social media, and getting huge amounts of money. Where did it go . Well, we can see that, you know, quite a lot of it got spent on fun stuff for the organisers. So i mean , the organisers. So i mean, patrice cullors, the founder of black lives matter, was we know that she bought, or black lives matter on her behalf. Bought this luxury villa, that, you know , then shes like, oh, were know, then shes like, oh, were going to use it for, you know, Community Workshops or whatever. Yeah. That and living in and also her, her, her, brothers business. Business got paid nearly 1 million. Security and her, her baby daddy got paid nearly 1 million to provide creative consultants. Im thinking about joining josh. What do you think . Yeah, well, as you said, really at the top here finally , really at the top here finally, journalists are looking into this, and its ridiculous that this, and its ridiculous that this, this, this amount of money hasnt really been explored because when they did say, hey, what have you done with this money . Of course, what she said was, basically youre being massively racist. How dare you . Youre racist. Look over youre racist. Look over there. Yeah, essentially. And then some people were like, okay, yeah, sorry, we didnt mean to question you. So the figures that have been raised are are astounding. And yeah, as some of the stuff is just mental like and multi Million Pound homes , multi Million Pound homes, dollar homes and, they act but but it did lead in california to them being banned for soliciting because essentially they couldnt prove theyre saying that. Now, i dont know if america has the same kind of thing we have over here. The charity commission, where they can investigate and they can then penalise or take away charity status. I dont know if america exactly has that , but america exactly has that, but its clear that this is a massive con and it isnt wasnt just black lives matter. It went to a lot of different groups. And the sad thing is that that, that, that when this journalist went into these communities in minnesota, they that money never went to actually where it could have done some genuine good and it went to people who just kind of had these flashy qr codes and theyve disappeared into nothingness. But its good. So the money got spent on having fun instead of like it would have just been like annoying Community Projects to create more racism. What . Theyre really not ready for better peoples lives. Theyre still calling it the killing of george floyd. Many people think he died of an od. Thats the next level. Theyre not ready for. I want to see this black lives matter money go to derek chauvin, in prison. Thats the next level. But just a little joke or is it true . Lets do the independent and the archbishop of canterbury has actually said something about christianity for once. Just kidding. Hes sticking his nose into politics again. Josh howie. Yeah. Wes streeting defends the archbishop of canterburys attack on the two child benefit cap. And he says its literally his job. And i think there are two stories here. One is obviously talking about this two child benefit cap. And i understand the arguments for it either way. But the reality is that normal families are losing out on about £60 a week. And i think for the particularly for the low income that that makes a real impact on them. We are weve talked about immigration. We need a population from somewhere. If were not encouraging people to have kids, then this this is a problem. So either way that has to be dealt with. But the real part of the story is, of course, im not a fan of the archbishop of canterbury, but i do think at the same time wes streeting is right. Like thats thats his job is to virtue signalling. I, i think hes oversteps and steps into things that arent his within his remit. But i think this is and i think he should be able to talk just pick up on one thing. Wes streeting as you said, said its his job to signal virtually. No, no, its his job to actually embody virtue, not just virtue. Signal leo. Yeah. No. Is there a difference . Id agree with that. Id agree with that. Id agree with that. I hope so, yeah , but i agree i hope so, yeah, but i agree with josh as well. And i think, you know, child benefit. You know, we do need more more kids. We need more kids in this country. And also we should give child benefit to everybody. I think its means tested. Give it to everybody we want. We want middle class people to have more kids. Theyre the people who should be having kids. The kids are going to be smart and get good jobs and be well behaved and stuff. No offence to, you know, the people i grew up with, but, we need to incentivise, birth rates. Definitely. But we also have problem with immigration, with people coming over just immediately claiming benefits. You dont contribute. So thats the other problem. Oh yeah. Oh. So yeah. Oh yeah. Oh. So yeah. Well they dont they cant solve them. Cant immediately claim cant claim benefits. But yeah, immediately i need to check that if people come over they immediately get put in a hotel. They dont get given a for bill that hotel. So, so yeah. No, i think if we had some sort of system, like having a lot of European Countries where you cant claim any benefits from the state for, for several. Yeah. Thats right. Thats right. We have Something Like that. Thats exactly what we have. Yeah. We do. Okay. Well ill check my facts instead of just empty rhetoric. Thatisit instead of just empty rhetoric. That is it for that section. But coming up why welcome back to headliners lets crack on with the guardian. And trump hints that he might do three terms. Presumably he doesnt mean in jail. Leo. Yeah. So trump floats. Thats yeah. So trump floats. Thats not the headline. Im sure he does float, but trump floats. Theidea does float, but trump floats. The idea of three term presidency at the nra. The National Rifle association convention, so this he said this is a quote from him , you know, is a quote from him, you know, fdr, Franklin Roosevelt , govern fdr, Franklin Roosevelt, govern for 16 years, almost 16 years. He was four terms, i dont know, are we going to be considered three term or two term . The ex president and republican president ial frontrunner said to the organisations annual convention in dallas, prompting some in the crowd to yell, three political reported. So after fdr served his four terms, they did actually change the 22nd amendment that was passed in 1947. That mean you can only serve two, two terms. But i think the guardian is like, you know, is it clear violation of the Us Constitution . Hes just saying it. Hes just he says all kinds of stuff. He doesnt mean it. Hes trying to get a reaction, which hes got. And as you say, the only thing that annoys me is theyre always saying, oh, trumps going to stay in and just do more terms. Yeah the only one thats ever done it, as you say, is roosevelt, whos a democrat. So its a bit of projection. Yeah. But he was that was legally allowed different times. Yeah. But the only thing about this is i watched the clip and he says, will we be considered three term if we win . And so i wonder if he meant it sounded like he said if we win, he was mumbling it slightly. I think he might have meant the biden terms just another trump term that doesnt count. So the 2024 will be the third term . I dont know, that was one theory. What do you think, josh . Yeah, i mean, that, part of the constitution is the biggest offence that they have against strongmen politics and against fascism within their own country. So its it would be obviously incredibly hard to overcome. And, but hes old. Hes hes hes 77, 77. I mean, i dont know if hed even want to dont know if hed even want to do a third term, but of course he wants to appeal to his base and the adulation. Its weird that he was at the nra because it seems to me like a not a massive vote winner because supposedly hes saying like, hey, you guys dont vote, but you should go out and vote. And also, only 12 of americans believe gun laws should be loosened. So its not its not a massive vote winner. I dont think its going to get its going to of course, its going to appeal to his core, but its hes already got his core. So why to get on with people who own a lot of guns. Thats thats one of my, my side. Is it all right for the coming civil war . And then, of course, hell be able to serve as many terms as he wants as emperor. Exactly. I look forward to three big, beautiful terms. But lets do the mail. And working age men dont want jobs. Is that because theyve been relentlessly beaten down by a society that despises them, or are they just lazy . Leo yeah, a bit of both, i think so the number of working age males saying they dont want age males saying they dont want a job is soared by 600,000 people since to covid 3. 1 million in total. The number of women saying they do not want a job has been far more stable, fluctuating between 4 and 4. 5 million. So women are consistently lazy, but men are increasingly lazy. And why is increasingly lazy. And why is it . I mean, i guess because, you know, you get a job for status , know, you get a job for status, but you dont need that. You just send some virtue signalling tweets and get status. That way people get a job to get a woman. Or to get some, you know, to be more attractive to women. And i think they kind of some people im not okay. Yeah. Find me. All right. Me yeah. All right. But me. All right. Me yeah. All right. But you me. All right. Me yeah. All right. But you just me. All right. Me yeah. All right. But you just kind of me. All right. Me yeah. All right. But you just kind of go. Right. But you just kind of go. Wait, whats all that about . The moment you step off the rat race, youre like, what am i doing . Why am i killing myself for this . When you doesnt mean its meaningless. Meaning youre in trouble. Meaning youre in trouble. Yeah. And people do look to their office job. Not even their office job. Even like comedy. I was like, why am i stressing about this club here and doing this and that . And you step off it and youre like this, this, this is mental. My reality. This is mental. My reality. You realise you can just give increasingly right wing opinions on tv and now youre all right. No comment. Thats a good ending. Lets do the mail. And the good news is muslim teenagers are showing an interest in history. The slight downside, the slight downside is that theyre being radicalised by hitler. Josh. Well , the thing is this well, the thing is this anything new it isnt is the thing. Thats whats interesting about this mail article. Dozens of muslim teenagers sent to governments anti terror program after being radicalised by nazi propaganda that celebrates adolf hitlers genocide of jews. Now, what they dont know is that theres been a long term connection between arabs and, and, and, and muslims, islamists, going back to world war two, where youve got a photo, a famous photo of the grand mufti of jerusalem sitting next to hitler. There was like an arab special Nazi Division who was trying to trying to kill jews behind enemy lines in the british mandate of palestine. And, and mein kampf is like on sale at newsstands all across the middle east. Its like a perennial bestseller. They love hitler and, you know, holocaust denial. And so, so whats interesting about this is you have a bunch of teachers looking at this is how from the prevent program, and theyre seeing this nazi propaganda this far right propaganda on these muslim kids phones. And theyre going and they and whats amazing to me is that theyre going , oh, this that theyre going, oh, this doesnt make any sense, because this how could this child like hitler and look at the coloured skin and their ethnicity or whatever it is, and its like, how are you . So ignorant of the fact . And so theyre sending them in and then preventing going, oh wow, look at this. It turns out theres a massive connection here that everybody else is known about for years on end, and even used to be the term islamofascism was, was attempted to be popularised by the new atheist and people like that because this link was well established between the more extreme elements of islam and wahhabi islam is and the far right. Its not particularly new. As josh says. Josh says. Yeah, absolutely. You see, you know, a lot of left wing organisations that say, you know, they ostensibly work to combat hate and intolerance and fascism and nazis and stuff. They completely leave , they completely leave, islamofascism alone because theyre scared of being called racist by other far leftists. So, yeah, its ridiculous. And weve seen this, you know, in germany they have the problem as well. They took in, you know, so many, muslim refugees and now theyve got youths doing , doing theyve got youths doing, doing hitler salutes and, you know, thats obviously a bit of a no no in germany. Yeah. I mean, the thing is that sometimes, you know, im online, im getting abused all day, every day. And genuinely, i dont know where this stuff is coming from. Like, its everyone, but its like, no, the whole horseshoe theory. And its whole horseshoe theory. And its just like. But youre like, you see the palestinian flag, youre like, is this guy a far right far . You know, ive had nick griffin from the former bnp tweeting me whatever support young islamists. Its insane. Its absolutely insane. But the its absolutely insane. But the allyship between them is what they hate jews. And they also agree on a lot of stuff about, you know, lets say social conservatives hating jews. No. And homophobia and homophobia i i i know lam i know im trying to like, help them out here, trying to get balance, guys, all right, lets do the guardians. Get balance, guys, all right, lets do the guardians. And lets do the guardians. And speaking of germans, a german actor says the uk are being too protective of child actors. Another good reason for not taking our moral cues from germany. Leo. Yes. Germany. Leo. Yes. So this is, protecting children generally a good thing. Hes frank rogowski. Hes the acclaimed german actor who plays acclaimed german actor who plays a key role in brd, which is, british directors contender for the top palme dor prize. I the top palme dor prize. I dont know why they named it after a shampoo. He said this weekend that the proliferation of chaperones and intimacy coordinators that had been required on the shoot on location in kent, qualified as well intended madness. So this is for, you know, child stars and, well, women as well to protect them and make sure that sex scenes arent exploitative and not sex scenes with kids. Yeah. To complain about this. Like this guy needs his hard drive. Check. Thats thats like, obviously, i dont know. Im not sure if we can legally say that, but its definitely a red flag. Definitely. Well, i think what he was actually talking about was swearing. He was basically saying like, it seems like on set, they wanted to swear and they couldnt, or he cant even swear in front of kids. This guy is completely correct. You should, of course, you should be allowed to assume like protect. So protective culture for child actors and assume thats thats what its aboutisit assume thats thats what its about is it not . Is it just swearing about. Thats what he the example he used is about saying hes not talking about sex. Hes hes talking about sex. Hes hes talking about sex. Hes hes talking about swearing. And it sort of got conflated intimacy. Whats an intimacy coordinator for swearing . No, an intimacy coordinator. But i think theyre talking about the general culture of it. But but no, because theres another actor who is saying that we need more intimacy coordinators , but shes talking coordinators, but shes talking about sex. So the two are sort of cross wiring. Yeah. Of cross wiring. Yeah. Lets just shut down the movie industry. Its all well, i think lets get i children or get Little People like the ewoks or whatever, and make them so we wont see any children on screen, and they receive the most offensive thing. You said there was ewoks because its ewoks, and i was offended by that. But lets quickly do the mail. And half of brits say businesses are too politically correct. The other half, presumably by the guardian. Josh does anybody buy the guardian . No backlash at woke businesses. Half of brits say businesses. Half of brits say firms to please correct. As Kemi Badenoch tells them to focus on customers instead of diversity initiatives. So this was a study that found a whole bunch of things as researched by deltapoll for the policy exchange think tank. Deltapoll for the policy exchange think tank. And yeah, exchange think tank. And yeah, they think that 75 of people of companies should hire on merit, which means that 25 of people think that people should be hired because of their ethnicity, which is arguably racist. And we have seen this in the, in the, our own industry in comedy , where third of brits comedy, where third of brits believe that someone in their workplace has been hired or promoted to meet diversity and inclusion objectives. Now i would say that within the comedy world, now , pretty much world, now, pretty much everybody, even the people who were hired because of their ethnicity or sex, would would go, yeah, thats basically thats true. Theres no i dont thats true. Theres no i dont see any who would not say that. Well, ive gotten a lot of trouble for saying, well, no, you were you did say that. But you said it. You were too ahead of your time. I was yeah, yeah. And they piled on me as well. Thats the reality. But but the reason why i use comedy, not just because its the thing that are sort of. Thats where we all come from, that world. Its because comedy at its purest is a meritocracy, because its the one meritocracy, which is basically youve got an audience, theyre laughing or theyre not. Youre laughing, theyre not. Youre laughing, theyre laughing , youre doing theyre laughing, youre doing yourjob or theyre not. And your job or theyre not. And its very easy to see where that meritocracy fails. And if you want to go to some comedy clubs around the uk, which are now hiring according to diversity as opposed to whos funny, and you will have a terrible night out and youll be like tyson fury, your gig. Leo, in the corporate world as well, theres under the scenes, corporations will make a big fuss about die on the surface. But behind the scenes in the real world, i was talking to a friend who was interviewing for pretty senior level jobs, i wont say who it is, but they were saying, if anybody mentions die or any of this, you know, this woke stuff, its an immediate red flag because they know theyre going to be an absolute nightmare to manage. Theyre going to complain about all kinds of stuff. Theyre going to want days off. Theyre going to want days off. Theyre going to want days off. Theyre going to have a, you know, what do you call it, a quaintance hamster to bring in. Oh, emotional support, emotional support , alligator. Support, alligator. I mean, we let lewis have one, but hes special. All right. We should speak about jonathan like that. Hes a human being. Hes a human being. He. Lets do the breakdown. Thats it for part three. But coming up in the final section, Stephen Merchant says comedians are becoming stifled. Tiktok encourages kids to read, and the new trendy holiday destination is afghanistan. Soon. Welcome back to headliners. Lets get into it with the telegraph. And Stephen Merchant is the latest person to point out that woke is destroying comedy. Leo. Yeah. So comedians cant experiment because of sensitivities of younger people, says stephen. Stephen merchant. He described comedians fear of offending people as a straitjacket that has suppressed creativity. Well, welcome to my world, stephen. I cant even do a years late. I cant even do a years late. I cant even do a years late. I cant even do a tour. Like they couldnt get enough venues because so many people, oh my god, its too problematic. God, its too problematic. There wasnt enough demand, was it . The it was the venue. No, it was the venue. I mean, it was, it wasnt. It was the, promotion. Promotion company that to do the tour, so they thought there was demand. Anyway the 49 year old, thats thats, Stephen Merchant said he noticed the change after returning to doing stand up comedy in pubs and other small venues, he says hes noticed that youre more cautious because you dont want to spend weeks on twitter trying to spend weeks on twitter trying to justify a joke youre just experimenting with. Thats the thing. Like comedians have got to be able to offend, because youve got to crash the car to see how fast you can drive it with jokes, you know what i mean . And also, people want is a bit like a car crash people. So sorry. So sorry. People want to want to get offended, you know, they go to comedy clubs to. It used to be people used to enjoy being offended. Now they get upset about it. Somebody wrote a complaint email to a club that i used to perform a solo show every month at, and they said, you know, we cant see leo kyrees show in july. And it was horrific and offensive. And then we came back to see it again in october, and its still horrific and offensive. Can you please stop putting it on . Its like, why dont you go and see somebody else instead . Yeah, thats what you do. The only thing that bothered me, josh, was, he said rightly criticises this, this, culture of sensitivity. But then he says he has no objection to the sand shifting and people should be allowed to criticise and query things. Its a little bit of a cop out because wokeness is not about critical thought. Its about critical thought. Its about brutally showing people down. No no, but i think you could still be able to criticise stuff without going too far. The point is that when it goes too far, it becomes shutting down and cancellation, which the left pretend doesnt exist. The bit thats i wouldnt say annoyed me. Here was when he says that he believes the left who are policing. So its the left who are policing comedy now. And when we were growing up , it was the right who were policing comedy and the Mary Whitehouse and whatnot. But he said the allowing the right to become the arbiters of free speech. But, you know, andrew doyle is not right wing. Hes written a book about free speech. Im not right wing. Yeah, but but the point is, there are people who, across the political spectrum who are fighting for free speech and, andifs fighting for free speech and, and its and its slightly annoying. Hes hes right as a general trend. Its the word left. Its not the liberal left. Yes. And thats just be lets call it clearly what it is. Okay. All right. Well lets do the mail. And afghanistan is the new hip holiday destination. Just be careful if youre a woman sunbathing by the pool, because you might be taken away in a van. Josh . Yeah . Wish you were here. Taliban launches afghanistan as a houday launches afghanistan as a holiday destination, and, yeah, theyve got 7000 Foreign Tourists visiting a year, afghans say the taliban are saying, look, you can come along if youre a woman. And as long as youve got a male escort, like, and this woman in the article was like, yeah, i went and it was great. I mean, yeah, obviously the local women are all covered up and cant go to school and terrible for them. But hey, i got a tan. So they say everyone is treated equally. Yeah. Really . Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Its ridiculous, but its a Good Opportunity to see some of the statues and things before the statues and things before the taliban blow them up. Yeah, its true. And its good for maybe islamists. A good holiday for them. Yeah. They want to go there and fit in. Yeah the Foreign Office says its a bad idea to go, though , so no. A bad idea to go, though, so no. Okay. Good advice for the people at home. Lets do the mail then. And tiktok is helping children to read more, which is like your heroin dealer helping you go on a detox. Yeah. Dont say that because youre scottish. Yeah, well i was i was surprised to learn this. So apparently tiktok has become the social media platform where books are really popular. It can make or break authors. It has launched a drive to get Children Reading after a survey revealed that less than 3 in 10 children read every day. Id have thought it was. It would be less than that, to be honest, so theyve, cereal boxes dont count. Yeah. Theyre gonna theyre going to launch bookshelves in 11 cities around the world, in collaboration with the National Literacy trust. So this could be, possibly tiktok trying to stop themselves getting banned because people, you know, a lot of politicians have said, you know, this is digital fentanyl. Know, this is digital fentanyl. We need to ban it. Weve got 11 bookshelves out. Yeah booktok. Its called what do you think, josh . Look, anything that encouraged people to read. But im trying to get my kids to read and its an absolute nightmare. And the most of the success. So theyre talking about here, it seems to be with young women basically. Thats just going the girls guide to murder series and various other books. Murder series and various other books. They sound like some books. They sound like some steamy scenes and sarcastic dragons and some other book that sounds like a sounds like a girls, but thats fine. But we also have to get boys to read. All right, well, in 30s, lets do this one in the mirror. And a man has become ten years younger after spending 93 days in a pod at the bottom of the ocean, someone please tell Louis Schaefer about this. Josh . Yeah. Thats it. Yeah. So thats exactly it. He spent this, 93 days bottom of the atlantic. Joseph josh howie, andifs the atlantic. Joseph josh howie, and its made him ten years younger. His cells, the ends of his chromosomes have, which normally shrink. Theyve actually become 20 longer. So, his his sleep is better. His cholesterol levels, like, plummeted, his inflammatory markers, whatever they are, theyre slashed in half. So basically, its an amazing thing to do, but its. Which is like the bromwich chambers , which the bromwich chambers, which rich people are like michael jackson. He had one of those. Okay, we got to go. Sorry leo. We got to go. Shows pretty much over. Thanks. I really want to talk about a look at the mondays front pages. So the telegraph has pms horror and regret over blood scandal. The express has least we can do. Apology to blood scandal victims. The guardian iranian president feared dead after helicopter crash. The times labour plan for crash. The times labour plan for gender change to be made easier. The ai revolutionary ai trial offers Breast Cancer hope for millions on nhs, reveals sunak. And finally, the daily star. And now its time for a better forecast. And those are the front pages that is it. Thanks to leo and josh. Headlines is back tomorrow at 11 pm. If youre watching at 5 am, then of course, stay tuned for breakfast. But for now its good night all. Good morning and god bless. That warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on gb news. Hello. Welcome to your gb news Weather Forecast from the met office. Looking ahead, sunny spells on monday, but it is going to be turning more unsettled as we go through the week. At the moment weve got a ridge of High Pressure extending out towards the west, bringing settled conditions for the rest of this evening and overnight. So looking ahead, we have got low cloud, mist and fog moving its way in from the north sea. That will progress further inland with a bit of a breeze coming into east anglia further towards the west. Thats where well see the clearest skies , well see the clearest skies, and Northern Ireland may see some mist and fog developing , some mist and fog developing, chilli underneath the clearest skies, but elsewhere holding up at around 10 or 11 degrees. So quite a murky start out there for many of us to start monday morning. Best of the sunshine. First thing is going to be across western parts, so even into western scotland. But holding on to some sea fog and low cloud the further east you go. Like i said , some low cloud, go. Like i said, some low cloud, mist and fog across Northern Ireland that will gradually lift and break, and then bright skies across the west. But low cloud lingering through the morning. But as we go through the rest of the morning , that low cloud the morning, that low cloud should start to lift, break, melt its way back towards coastal areas, maybe taking a bit of time to do so, but elsewhere, turning dry. Plenty elsewhere, turning dry. Plenty of sunshine on offer. We will still see a few showers breaking out, especially across parts of western Northern Ireland. Some of these could be heavy at times and potentially even northern parts of wales , but elsewhere parts of wales, but elsewhere feeling pleasant in the sunshine where we do see it up to 20 or 22 degrees as we go through tuesday. Again, some low cloud tuesday. Again, some low cloud coming into eastern areas, then its a mixture of sunny spells, but some heavy showers breaking out, especially focused across the west as we go through the afternoon and then into wednesday. Weve got a low pressure system out towards the east, could bring heavy spells of rain and generally rather unsettled. A brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news at last, the pm is to apologise to victims of the infected blood scandal, as a final report will lay bare the failings , which lay bare the failings, which claimed 3000 lives and some breaking news this morning.
