Security threat, told mps such actions will not be tolerated. The whole house is rightly appalled about reports of espionage in this building. The sanctity of this place must be protected and the right of members to speak their minds without fear or sanction must be maintained. We will defend our democracy and our security. So i was emphatic with premier li that actions which seek to undermine british democracy are completely unacceptable and will never be tolerated. Never be tolerated. While labour leader sir keir starmer has called on the Prime Minister to reveal what he knew and when. China is a strategic challenge. Thats for sure. And what we need is a policy that is clear and is settled. Now we havent had that for the last ten years. Weve had division and inconsistency from this government. But i think this morning theres a very big question now for the Prime Minister, which is, was this raised when arrests took raised when these arrests took place back in march or has it only been raised now that its come into the Public Domain . I think thats the central question that needs to be answered the minister answered by the Prime Minister today.

This is gb news across the uk on tv in your car, on Digital Radio and on your Smart Speaker by saying play gb news now its time for headliners. Headliners. Hello and welcome to headliners with me, simon evans joining me tonight to go through tuesdays front pages. We have comedians bruce devlin and nicholas de santo. Good evening, gentlemen. How good evening, gentlemen. How are you . Hello. Are you well . Hello. Are you well . Hello. Are you well . Yes. Excellent. Yes. Excellent. Its our first night combined effort, nick. But youve. Youve performed on this in this function before. Youre familiar . Yes. Yes. Looking forward to this one. The hard right political bias we expect you. Expect from you. Been drilled on that. Youve been drilled on that. Youve been drilled on that. To. Ill try to. Ill try to. Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. Thats good. Thats good. As you can see, having as you can see, were having to our net wider to cast our net ever wider to find willing to find comedians willing to undermine future Career Opportunities by appearing on this this channel. So lets take a look at those front pages. The daily mail mps front pages. The daily mail mps are told dont mention the spy and the xl bully dog. The telegraph. If britain cannot telegraph. If britain cannot afford to cut ties with china despite spying round , thats despite spying round, thats Kemi Badenoch on their cover. The guardian nhs alarm over exodus of medical students the express why uks. £480 million express why uks. £480 million deal to stop the boats is doomed. The i news state pension boost on the way for millions but no tax cuts. And finally the daily star. Here come the red fire ants. Every year those were fire ants. Every year those were your front pages. So kicking off your front pages. So kicking off the in depth look into the front pages with the daily mail. Pages with the daily mail. Bruce yeah, so this is the speaker of the house of commons, lindsay hoyle, has warned tory mps not to name the suspected china spy in the commons amid backlash at security minister Tom Tugendhat and senior mp Alicia Kearns over links. So a lot of people have reacted to this and saying its an affront democracy and they shouldnt be told what they do. I mean, obviously this is still alleged. We dont know whats actually going on. The person named was arrested back in march, but has said that they are innocent. So weve certainly seen that name. This that name is not now being mentioned in the copy, certainly on the front page. But we saw a person identified a couple of days ago. I wont say who it was. I cant even remember who it was. There remember who it was. But there was photograph and was definitely a photograph and a so on. A name given and so on. So theyre kind of ing from that. Yeah, theyre kind of going back on themselves. It doesnt really make sense, but this really make much sense, but this is tack that theyre is now the tack that theyre taking that are not to taking that you are not to mention but funnily mention it, but funnily enough, hes said to tory mps as hes only said to tory mps as far as i can see, oh, okay. As opposed to actually this article does mention the persons name. Does it . Yeah it says in in a Statement Released by his lawyers , Birnberg Peirce has lawyers, Birnberg Peirce has denied that hes been a chinese spy. Spy. Okay, so. So thats and that is the same one isnt it, as as i had mentioned. Yeah. Well its a very peculiar situation , but its peculiar situation, but its highlighting again the difficult situation we find ourselves in more broadly with china at the moment, isnt it, that clearly they are starting to emerge as a more problem matic ally commercially , diplomatically and commercially, diplomatically and so on, and yet we are obviously utterly powerless ultimately to enforce any sanctions against them. We would it would, you know, especially at the very time when were all experiencing a crisis of cost of living and so on. But what are they actually been . Do we know what the actual spying has been . Spying has been . I havent anything i havent seen anything specific mentioned , but i think specific mentioned, but i think hes been fairly close hes been fairly sort of close to of government. To the heart of government. Chinese well, the chinese are interested to be interested in everything to be honest. And theres going to be this world first Artificial Intelligence summit in britain later year. Some mps are later this year. Some mps are begging the government to at least invite uninvite least not invite or uninvite china to that one. Right. Because of all events , you dont because of all events, you dont want know, let the want to, you know, let the chinese have a go at Artificial Intelligence. Yeah. I mean , it wont be yeah. I mean, it wont be much of an event without them there, it . I mean, there, though, would it . I mean, thats fair. I mean, for a number of years now, obviously, weve been aware they weve been aware that they will, as you say, they will harvest as much data they of any much data as they can get of any kind. The old huawei kind. We had the old huawei scandal they scandal when they were discussing who was to install the sg. Discussing who was to install the 56. I discussing who was to install the 5g. I remember a couple of years before that they had essentially , i think, built the essentially, i think, built the comms for an entire something equivalent to a sort of the eu. But for africa, i think it was in in ethiopia and they found out it was harvesting all the data and sending it back overnight to china. I mean, they are absolutely ruthless. Im doing my part by not downloading tick tock. Downloading tick tock. No, thats quite right. Youve to be very, youve got to be very, very careful that. Promotional careful about that. Promotional videos, you think theres a minute of you doing stand up in some north london club and a click to link to your tickets . Ive let go of teenage fans only patriotic sacrifices. Only to be patriotic sacrifices. Your mate nico what were appearing on this channel and now that anyway moving on to the express and they have an also another familiar and chronic story thats right while uks £400 million deal to stop the boats is doomed. So the express has done this two week investigation in france. They have talked to different French Policemen , as different French Policemen, as we can see also on the on the front page, we have the picture of French Policemen basically looking on as this dinghy full of immigrants sets out for british shores. The express british shores. The express describes these French Police officers with indifference scented mentality and also brazen contempt for the fulfilled of their role. Essentially, they have been telling under the condition of anonymity. Of course, theyve been telling the express journalists that , you know, this journalists that, you know, this is not our main issue. Our main issue is security in france. And you know, we are human as well. We have hearts and this is, of course, all the more egregious because they are being funded by british taxpayer following this £480 million deal with the french. So really, their responsibility there allegiance should be to us. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. I mean, it was never going to work , was it . Work, was it . Say whatever you want about gaddafi. But in those years when italy was paying him to keep the migrants at bay , he did a good migrants at bay, he did a good job. Absolutely. Before he was toppled by the and the eu are still trying to maintain you know, a certain amount of pressure on north african leaders. I think , at this point. But i think, at this point. But yeah, that great yeah, that was the great catastrophe. He without any question , i dont think many question, i dont think many people realise that at all at the time, i mean, the time, did they . I mean, british were british citizens probably were oblivious , i think, the to oblivious, i think, to the to the role gaddafi was playing. Italians did realise that the italians did realise that thats didnt thats why they didnt participate in the operation. But french, the british and but the french, the british and obama did. Yeah, absolutely right. Well, thats in the past that cant be undone. But it does seem to me that if were going to pay them half £1 billion, we should decent service. Should expect a decent service. What do you think . Because weve talked about this a number of the answer . Of times, what is the answer . Because whatever is happening doesnt seem to be working. So id like gunboats in the channel. Thats what itll come down to sooner or later. Maybe joint patrolling with them as italy used to do with albania and libya . No, they would have to patrol them. But but even at this point , if they capsize miles out them. But but even at this point , icalais, apsize miles out them. But but even at this point , icalais, they e miles out them. But but even at this point , icalais, they get miles out them. But but even at this point , icalais, they get brought out them. But but even at this point , icalais, they get brought tot of calais, they get brought to england dont so england anyway, dont they . So theres obviously no will to stop it. In truth, at the moment its all entirely cosmetic, isnt it . Thats how it seems to me. There doesnt seem to be any me. There doesnt seem to be any real determination to stop it at all. It just seems to be going on and going on and going on the daily telegraph, bruce yeah, and were back to china. Im so disposable vapes yes. Im so disposable vapes yes. So apparently i didnt realise this , which isnt like realise this, which isnt like me, not to realise things, but yeah , children are as young as yeah, children are as young as 11 are vaping now. I always thought that vaping was a substitute to help you quit smoking, if you see what i mean i so so| 5mm so i think a lot of these kids arent even going on to fight. Can you still say . Yeah. Cigarettes whatever you want to call them. And theyre going on vapes. Its funny going on to vapes. Its funny because i was walking about the royal dock at the weekend and there really , really young there were really, really young guys. Have say , it wasnt guys. I have to say, it wasnt girls were vapour. The smell girls who were vapour. The smell of these things is so disgusting. Yeah, theyre quite sickly, arent they . Blueberry, vanilla i yeah. Yeah. Im, you know, my mum smells of talc and monuments and that kind of thing. The kind of smell obviously aimed at kids. I mean, the thing is about tobacco, i never smoked until i was about 18 and i stopped again at about 22. I had a sort of brief flirtation with it. Right. But people who smoke but it but most people who smoke for lifetime start when for a lifetime start when theyre 11 or 12. Theyre about 11 or 12. As a rule, that was historically that was spot at to was the sweet spot at which to get people addicted and historically, theyve had all sorts of little tricks like selling single cigarettes because really save up because kids can really save up enough money buy a pack. Enough money to buy a pack. That to happen and but that used to happen when school. People when i was at school. People would to the cream would go to the Ice Cream Van that outside secondary that was outside the secondary school was a regal school for it was was a regal king size. And a match and a polo. Yeah, and a match and a polo. Yeah, that was it was a bulk deal. Absolutely. Absolutely. And then a friend of mines mother used to say, its fine if its menthol. So not like smoking at all. But truth em em all. But truth is, all the but the truth is, all the flavours, know, obviously flavours, you know, obviously suggests theyre aimed not just at people, absolutely suggests theyre aimed not just at children. Ople, absolutely suggests theyre aimed not just at children. They absolutely suggests theyre aimed not just at children. They are absolutely suggests theyre aimed not just at children. They are they lutely suggests theyre aimed not just at children. They are they arely at children. They are they are like the problem with the cigarettes was that you looked cool and that was that was the issue to basically attack now with vapes stand up comedians have done an excellent job of depicting people who vape as losers. And i say losers not to use the other word. Ive done my best. But what they lack in that image, that coolness they make up with all these colourful and these nice smell, its a totally different image as you say, theres none of the jemmy dean or whatever , of the jemmy dean or whatever, you know, none of that kind of marlboro i dont give a. Marlboro man. I dont give a. Im you know, on a fast train to hell its hell kind of attitude. Its a completely different its much more like a k pop sort of vibe, isnt now . Yeah but nicotine isnt it, now . Yeah but nicotine still has the same effect. And still has the same effect. And nicotine you know, when nicotine does. You know, when you first get get the first rush of it, quite exciting drug. Of it, its quite exciting drug. And of course, it tilts and and then of course, it tilts and it of feeling it becomes a question of feeling miserable between vapes , you miserable between vapes, you know, and you cant wait to get to the next one and its utterly pointless. Well hopefully they will be able to actually stem this tide. I mean , the other this tide. I mean, the other thing is obviously the ecologically disastrous as well. The people are saying theres more disposable vapes ending up in in refuge now than all the plastic bags that were eliminated by charging for them at tills. Thats all been reversed, just just purely on the the the plastic created by the vapes. Theyre not going anywhere into the into the oceans. Well, wouldnt like that. Maybe we can get e maybe we can get no. Maybe we can get her on board. The daily star finally. Board. The daily star finally. Here come the fire ants. So, yeah, after some insect related issues, apparently i was not aware of them because apparently we had the horrid asian hornets jellyfish, daddy long legs and false widow spiders. Ive been battling spiders in my garden. I dont know if they were false widows or whatever, but now the daily star has been cheeky. Theres a huge ant red ant on the on the cover. It says ant on the on the cover. It says actual size. And then theres an asterisk. It says, not really hold it far enough away. Yeah. So a moment of panic , yeah. So a moment of panic, but apparently a colony of these red fire ants, i dont know what is vicious about them. If they bite or i think they do bite. But i have no idea what kind of quantity theyre in. I mean, if theres just 1 or 2 of them, thats manageable. But i think these that these are the ones that that swarm across the floor of swarm across like the floor of the jungle, arent they . And devour entire. They come lets hope they dont come through the through france because the french sure are not going to stop them. Send them back to defend the borders with a little bit more determination than is currently being uniformed being shown by those uniformed officers , thats it for officers anyway, thats it for part one. Coming up, we have taxes high, rents go taxes stay high, rents go higher, and scots getting and welcome back to headliners with me simon evans. Im still here with bruce devlin and nico de santo. So nico , we have house price nico, we have house price forecasts now and theyre usually about as accurate as long range weather forecasts. But along. What are but lets play along. What are the telegraph say . The telegraph, lets play along. Rents forecast to rise four times faster than house pnces four times faster than house prices over the next four years. So basically the idea is i dont know who is going to be happy to read this, but very few people because is okay as peoples income slightly becomes stronger, better, affordable city and Mortgage Rates slightly decrease house price house market is going to move a bit gradually , only very slightly, gradually, only very slightly, not dramatically , but house not dramatically, but house pnces not dramatically, but house prices are to going turn back, come back to rise. But four times is actually. Be come back to rise. But four times is actually. Be five come back to rise. But four times is actually. Be five times more than that. The rent prices are predicted to rise to rise because landlords apparently have a lot of side cost the net profit and they have definitely made made it harder for landlords to make money. And i think the other thing that will happen, of course is some landlords are just selling up, which means theres less stock. So renters are fighting over rooms. Stock. So renters are fighting oveyeah. Rooms. Stock. So renters are fighting oveyeah. So oms. Stock. So renters are fighting oveyeah. So i ms. Stock. So renters are fighting oveyeah. So i think the only yeah. So i think the only happy are the ones who happy people are the ones who can now to get can maybe now afford to get a mortgage from the bank. But still its going to be heftier than what they were previously paying than what they were previously paying for. Its pretty decent, i mean, its pretty decent, isnt certainly in isnt it . It certainly is in london has london and the south east has been for time. There are been for some time. There are other the country other parts of the country are not bad. And i have always not so bad. And i have always thought this would be the ideal mechanism to actually mechanism by which to actually encouraging levelling encouraging the big levelling up programme, about. Well, i was walking past a lighting again lighting agents today and again royal docklands £2,000 a month for a one bedroom flat. Yeah and the thing is as well people think that scotland is so much cheapen think that scotland is so much cheaper. Im really here to tell you its not, is it . Not you that. Its not, is it . Not if you want a decent rental and you know central leith somewhere like would look to pay like that, you would look to pay a minimum of about 750 if you were lucky , you could get were lucky, you could get something bigger in a nice, desirable area. Obviously. Obviously. Obviously. But thats the other thing as well. In scotland is the government are trying to bring in all these kind of to get rid of the short term lets so theyre making it harder for people to earn their money through but all thats through that. But all thats going is then the people going to do is then the people that these properties , that have got these properties, theyre going to put their rents up, because theyre up, arent they . Because theyre not do this. Up, arent they . Because theyre not no, do this. Up, arent they . Because theyre not no, absolutely. No, absolutely. No, absolutely. Theyll always the and theyll always put the thing to what they can get thing up to what they can get away course. And away with. Of course. And i mean, theres hardly ever been an example governments an example of governments trying to to and with the to get involved to and with the best will of an intention, you know, to and doing know, to and not doing more damage with rent damage than good with rent controls and so on. I mean, i think there are some cities and parts the parts the parts of the world, parts of the country as country where its not as serious as it is in london, but it does feel like for long it does feel like for a long time now, especially under tory governments , theyve relied governments, theyve relied heavily people feeling that heavily on people feeling that their home is increasing in value. If nothing else , its value. If nothing else, its been like the only possible source of a feel good factor that we have. So i dont think theres going to be a huge amount of House Building any time the indian time soon. Bruce the indian pendant now and has to be said this at least this headline is at least internally consistent. So for this has been an issue in scotland for ages that the Scottish Government want to bnngin Scottish Government want to bring in safe consumption rooms. Theyre trying to pilot a scheme in glasgow. Right. Right. But the Scottish Government consistently say that westminster wont allow them. Theyre against it. Theyre against it. There is a theres a guy up, performance artist, a comedian , performance artist, a comedian, a rapper called dan mcgarvey , a rapper called dan mcgarvey, who said that he is of the opinion that the current scottish administer nation could actually do that. Now the leader of the conservatives up the road, douglas ross, hes against this. This. Right. Right. But scotland does have has come last year. Come down since last year. Credit where credits due. Credit where credits due. But its still its very, but its still its a very, very high drug death toll, if you see what i mean. In europe, its the highest. In europe, its the highest. And basically they have similar schemes from like new york to copenhagen and all that kind of thing. And it is so that people arent leaving needles and stuff in the street. So i dont know, is it like a fairly sort of dismal municipal like like a sort of youth centre, but you just literally sit there and shoot up . Is that the idea . Is that the idea . Is that the idea . I think its basically like a portakabin with kind of auto room, but i think you get clean needles. Yes. Yes. Yes. So they give you everything so that you can administer. If you cant administer drugs safely, but you know, with the minimal kind health risks, if minimal kind of health risks, if you i mean. So yeah, so you see what i mean. So yeah, so this is i mean, when it says it would be not in the Public Interest to prosecute for possession in a drugs consumption, i mean, seems consumption, i mean, that seems like thats tautological. Like thats tautological. I thought that that was. Yes, exactly. That would be the whole point. Why why would you then, if were a registered addict point. Why why would you then, if you ere a registered addict point. Why why would you then, if you were registered addict point. Why why would you then, if you were goingzred addict point. Why why would you then, if you were going there. Idict point. Why why would you then, if you were going there. Sot and you were going there. So what theyre saying the sort what theyre saying is the sort of advocate, presumably of lord advocate, presumably like senior figure like a very senior legal figure , dorothy has has , Dorothy Dorothy bain has has issued a guidance these issued a guidance saying these are illegal. This is a legal possibility. This is a legal possibility. This is a legal possibility. Its still at consultation stage. Theres still fighting ahead. Theres still fighting ahead. I believe that theres something 250 million Something Like 250 million earmarked it, but earmarked to fund it, but i dont think they get the authorisation from the government in westminster. Have a view on this. Nicola not a very strong view. Itsjust not a very strong view. Its just a clash. Im not a very strong view. Itsjust a clash. Im not its just a clash. Im not im essentially anti drugs, but im essentially anti drugs, but i see the point. Its a clash of ideologies because the Government Home Office says there is no safe way to take illegal drugs. So thats one view. And the other view, as we discussed, is that at least they are supervised. No needles on are supervised. No needles on the street, no overdose because theres medical professionals supervising them. So its been going on for a very long time, hasnt it . This argument, Russell Brown and Peter Hitchens are often the talking heads are brought and Peter Hitchens are often the talking ito ds are brought and Peter Hitchens are often the talking ito ds over brought and Peter Hitchens are often the talking ito ds over itrought and Peter Hitchens are often the talking ito ds over it on ght and Peter Hitchens are often the talking ito ds over it on and together to clash over it on and i honestly dont know where i stand. I mean, i suppose ultimately you should be led by the evidence. But i do have a suspicion that if you create a safe space for when you have an overwhelming number of people doing it anyway, then its not necessarily it doesnt feel like its endorsing it, not in the way that decriminalising or simply not arresting people. I mean , i think theres been mean, i think theres been a tendency in london lately to regard marijuana of various kinds as being sort of beneath the dignity of the police to get involved with and you do notice just walking through even just Oxford Street now, you know, the smell of it is all over the place. Its the same in new york. Yeah. The smell of the green is a different thing. Is a slightly different thing. Mean, i feel is i mean, i feel that is genuinely a slippery genuinely a bit of a slippery slope if youre not careful. It just. It just normalises the activity. Whereas feels activity. Whereas this feels like that a like it acknowledges that its a pathology, least, know, pathology, at least, you know, its fairly miserable thing, its a fairly miserable thing, isnt it, still to have to to isnt it, still to have to go to a cabin it. A cabin and do it. But i mean, i suppose if youre addicted, youre addicted. Whole addicted. Thats just the whole thing. Its not thing. What i mean is its not going encourage people going to encourage people to think, well, might think, oh, well, i might as well do it because its basically been made legal, you know . No, i cant see it a high incentive. It you e w. It does if you look at it. Sorry, i interrupted. Yeah, no, go if you look at it that go on. If you look at it that way honest, most uk police way to be honest, most uk Police Forces burglary way to be honest, most uk Police Forces their burglary way to be honest, most uk Police Forces their dignitylary way to be honest, most uk Police Forces their dignity toy investigate. Its hard to discover a its very hard to discover a crime. Are keen on crime. They are keen on prosecuting beyond crimes, crime. They are keen on proseincidenceyond crimes, crime. They are keen on proseincidence. nd crimes, crime. They are keen on proseincidence. Why crimes, crime. They are keen on proseincidence. Why are crimes, crime. They are keen on proseincidence. Why are there 5, crime. They are keen on proseincidence. Why are there so hate incidence. Why are there so few painkillers in the jungle . Because Public Health jungle. Consider them a risk factor in Mental Health crisis. Thats a play Mental Health crisis. Thats a play on a joke which youre probably not familiar with. No. Why arent there any painkillers in the jungle . Because the parrots ethanol. Yeah, thats parrots ethanol. Yeah, thats realised. As i was saying it, realised. As i was saying it, you will be looking at me blankly but. Yeah, go ahead. But. But but thank you for making this story a bit more lighter because its quite, its quite dark, quite a bleak story. Yeah. So so theres this National Suicide prevention strategy and charities and the government who want to work in this direction of reducing the number of suicides and, and they estimate that 1 in 5 suicides is done by poisoning include using drugs , including paracetamol. So drugs, including paracetamol. So hypothetically, they would want to reduce the number or the quantity of paracetamol or paracetamol contained in a medicine that people can buy without a prescription , as they without a prescription, as they call them. Emerging methods , call them. Emerging methods, which kind of sounds, sounds positive, but it is not, obviously. And then they have also looked at other trends. For example , almost 60 of suicides example, almost 60 of suicides is still are still committed by hanging suffocation and strangulation. And so they talk strangulation. And so they talk about working in prisons to come up with ligature resistors , ant up with ligature resistors, ant cells or ligatures. Cells or ligatures. The possibility of epstein had had one of those when he hanged himself in the top bunk. Yeah. If you want to go his own narrative , im interested. Own narrative, im interested. I dont know what suffocation is. I mean, you cant smother yourself with a pillow, can you . Perhaps can. I dont . Or perhaps you can. I dont know. Think we did it in know. I think we did it in brookside once. Did they . Was did they . Yeah, it was a while back. Try it on. Oh, god. Just. It was it was just. It was a cushion. But i remember hearing. I this very i mean, obviously this is very upsetting and whatever, but i remember twitter remember someone put on twitter x fantastic , but have you x sex is fantastic, but have you ever opened a packet of piracetam lol not the piracetam lol and not got the leaflet and they thought that was some kind of big triumph that straight to that you just got straight to the tablets. Yeah, i find it. I mean, i dont want to. Were all going to be careful not to be light about this, but it does seem to me to be just food telling about to be honest, if you want, if youre if you are desperate enough actually are desperate enough to actually want going do want to, if youre going to do it, you will get it, youll do it. You will get access enough paracetamol access to enough paracetamol pills. You to do go pills. All you have to do is go to shops a you to three shops in a row. You dont theres nothing stopping you actually have you until they actually have like what . Like written or id, do you what . I mean. And thats the thing. I mean. And thats the thing. Boots. And then you go to space and then you tesco and and then you go to tesco and then you to co op and. And then you go to co op and. And its cheap. Yeah so its cheap. Yeah exactly. So theres all doing is theres no all its doing is making slightly more making it slightly more inconvenient. I mean, you know , inconvenient. I mean, you know, good seems to me good luck. But it seems to me very optimistic anyway , over to very optimistic anyway, over to the star, who may be the daily star, who may be reading very slightly much reading very slightly too much into standard crown into some pretty standard crown diplomacy here, possibly , yes. Diplomacy here, possibly, yes. This is king charles has so this is king charles has done what his mother did, the late queen, a couple of years ago, and that is wished kim jong un good wishes as he goes to meet putin in russia. And hes not the only king to have done it. Apparently, the king of sweden has also given good wishes as well. So yeah , i wonder what so yeah, i wonder what camilla had to say about that. You have to remember what you do today, what the good wishes. Like luck in your its like good luck in your discussions putin. Hope discussions with putin. Hope you guys sort something out on guys can sort something out on the arms front. I mean, i doubt it you i mean, its it was. Do you want i mean, its probably stay healthy and probably just stay healthy and you the for you know, we wish the best for the of north korea, isnt the people of north korea, isnt it . Few ago, i it . Yeah, a few years ago, i remember john mccain was debating obama in the debating barack obama in the president ial campaign. Of course , and he said, of course, and he said, i wish my opponent meant well, but i dont wish him luck. And crucially , he the king has crucially, he the king has graciously and gracefully wished them well, not luck, because we dont want them, of course, in the Ballistic Missile race and everything to have to gain the advantage, the upper hand, i think thats perfectly reasonable. That is it for part two. Coming up , we that is it for part two. Coming up, we have shoplifting scum students accruing pointless debt and modern slavery. But enough of my family life. Well see you after the break. That warm feeling inside from boxt boilers proud sponsors of weather on news. Hello. Hello. Hello. Very good evening to you. A band of rain is going to continue to push southwards through the next 24 hours with some showers both to the north and south of this. Whilst the and south of this. Whilst in the southeast, holding on to southeast, were holding on to that humid air because here we are still ahead of these fronts which have something a little bit cooler, more bit cooler, a bit more comfortable following in behind. Also fronts. Therell be also in the fronts. Therell be a bit of rain. A cloudy, a fair bit of rain. So a cloudy, wet end to the day across many Northern England into northern parts of england into wales england too, wales and southwest england too, in south east, were holding in the south east, were holding on humid conditions on to those humid conditions ones and we could see a few showers developing. Also some showers developing. Also some showers far of showers in the far north of scotland and northern ireland. Cooler here whilst in the southeast with that high humidity and temperatures not dropping amount. But as dropping a huge amount. But as we through tuesday, a damp, we look through tuesday, a damp, wet many parts of wet start across many parts of england and wales there in the southeast, of southeast, a good deal of brightness the high brightness there with the high humidity. Expecting a few humidity. I am expecting a few showers kick here and showers to kick off here and they be heavy, perhaps they could be heavy, perhaps even thundery. Whilst brighter even thundery. Whilst a brighter picture across the bulk of scotland and northern ireland, a scattering showers a scattering of showers and a little bit of cloud at times too. A bit cooler than it has been through some days. Been through some recent days. Getting around getting to highs of around 24, perhaps 25 celsius the perhaps 25 celsius in the south east wednesday morning may get off to a bit of a chilly start. Couldnt rule touch start. Couldnt rule out a touch of frost across some parts of scotland, but otherwise a generally most. But generally fine day for most. But until some wet and windy weather pushesin until some wet and windy weather pushes in from the northwest as we go into the afternoon , then we go into the afternoon, then that rain is then going to sweep further southwards later in the week are going week and temperatures are going to closer to average to be much closer to average for the of than they were the time of year than they were last week. That warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, proud sponsors of weather on. To gb news radio. And welcome back to headliner. So nico, the daily mail has the latest in the war against undocu mented retail therapy. Undocu mented retail therapy. Yeah. Retailers will now pay police to stop shoplifters. 1010 police to stop shoplifters. 1010 of uks largest stores will fund £600,000. Project called Pegasus Project pegasus to scan faces of thieves on cctv as co op hires undercover guards amid claims the crime is being decrypted analysed. So this is a recurrent story. There has been a 25 increase this year in shoplifter ing head of asda says essentially thats been decriminalised. Co op going for decriminalised. Co op going for undercover guards. Tesco equipping their personnel with body cameras. So i dont know if body cameras. So i dont know if youve been in supermarkets lately. I go in the co op near us in hove quite often they have like empty coffee jars now on the shelves. The coffee jars are empty and you have to ask for them in the way they used to do with like whisky or something that happened with lurpak for while. Other butter is available of course, but lurpak became went through the roof and they had the tag on it or whatever, or they just had dummy project. What i think is hysterical about this is retailers will now pay about this is retailers will now pay police. Yeah. Isnt the pay the police. Yeah. Isnt the taxpayer paying the police . Well, its going backwards isnt it. It used to be this this to this was the whole this used to this was the whole point of having a centralised police the police force, a bit like in the old days you had to have a plaque the fireplace, you plaque over the fireplace, you know, paid know, to prove that you paid fire insurance. They fire insurance. Otherwise they wouldnt put your, your, the house was on fire. You know, that was. Yeah. The old previous before the, the whole idea was you centralised these things and now were getting back to a situation youre having situation where youre having to pay situation where youre having to pay its pay for private security. Its like africa as like living in south africa as an italian, makes me an italian, it makes me uncomfortable how uncomfortable because thats how mafia were of the there were parts of the country the state was country where the state was absent , so they country where the state was absent, so they said, fair enough. The absent, so they said, fair enough. The has ignored enough. The state has ignored us. As well pay for us. We might as well pay for protection. Now, in this case, theres right wing sort of theres a right wing sort of philosopher and economist called thomas sowell. Dont if youve heard i dont know if youve heard of him, american guy. And he says, parts of says, you know, in many parts of america, the 20th century, america, in the 20th century, the places to live are the safest places to live are where organised crime took over because absolutely where organised crime took over because streets absolutely where organised crime took over because streets clean. Solutely where organised crime took over because streets clean. You ely where organised crime took over because streets clean. You know keep the streets clean. You know , get you know, and you wouldnt get you know, they fulfilled a role. And there was a vacuum in this case. These retailers obviously are paying their taxes, but now theyre going to pay taxes, but now theyre going to pay the police and i hope they are not to going be as human as french gendarmerie because they might run cctv pictures and make no arrest. I mean, its a good question whether the shoplifting reflects the cost of living prices or i suspect its more for kicks. But anyway, time now for the fascist wing the concert party, wing of the concert party, bruce, who are trying to stop the less academically promising from blights their lives with debt. Yes so what the institute for fiscal studies have found that 1 in 5 students would be better off if they skipped Higher Education and went on to apprenticeships or other jobs. Its interesting now, its interesting because i recently and i was up in dundee recently and id to a cousin of mine id spoken to a cousin of mine whos young son staying on for the last year of secondary school. Yeah, hed seen his elder brother go to university and see the that he and he does the debt that he had and he does not want to do that. Wants to just into he wants to just go into a job all this kind of thing job and all this kind of thing for him. So saying. The for him. So hes saying. But the new conservatives, a group of 30 tory young people are tory mps, so young people are increasingly off by increasingly being ripped off by poor Quality University courses. And a lot of people, they seem to think a lot of young people are going just to have jolly. Are going just to have a jolly. Theyre just mucking and are going just to have a jolly. Theyrpaidt mucking and are going just to have a jolly. Theyrpaid for ucking and are going just to have a jolly. Theyrpaid for by;ing and are going just to have a jolly. Theyrpaid for by mum and are going just to have a jolly. Theyrpaid for by mum or and are going just to have a jolly. Theyrpaid for by mum or an or being paid for by mum or dad or loans whatever. But theyre loans or whatever. But theyre coming out in huge amounts of debt and they qualifications, they often have low self they often have quite low self reported levels of happiness. And you know, its a disappointment to as well. Disappointment to them as well. I thats the thing. I mean i think thats the thing. For few months be for a few months that might be fun, but three years of vaping, of vaping and sensing that your debt mounting, vaping and debt is mounting, vaping and shoplifting and of shoplifting and kind of endlessly swirling in the same pool of friends, mean, i, i pool of friends, i mean, i, i was i went to was very lucky. I went to university , a grant, you university, i got a grant, you know, studied law and know, and i studied law and i knew fairly early wasnt knew fairly early on i wasnt going lawyer, but i just going to be a lawyer, but i just saw it and i did kind of do saw it out and i did kind of do that. I am a hypocrite in that respect. Right. But wouldnt respect. Right. But i wouldnt recommend who recommend it to anyone now who wanted out with 100 wanted to come out with 100 grand with a debt for that experience. It absolutely wasnt worth feel quite worth it for that. I feel quite seriously, it sounds seriously, although it sounds like would like a wacko idea that it would be great able to offer be great to be able to offer people know for fact people who know for a fact theyre not. They arent going to a worthwhile degree but to get a worthwhile degree but want to have maybe months of want to have maybe six months of just funded. Do you know just state funded. Do you know what i mean . Like somewhere they can a live a can hang out live a live a couple hundred away couple of hundred miles away from used being from home, get used to being independent, but, you know, do a load. There used to be the military service for that. Well, yeah, but you want basically you want to to basically you want to be able to go parties. You have a go to parties. Dont you have a larger of friends, you go to parties. Dont you have a larger have of friends, you go to parties. Dont you have a larger have someends, you go to parties. Dont you have a larger have some kind you go to parties. Dont you have a larger have some kind ofj know, have some kind of scheduled activities that, you know, some superficial know, give you some superficial impression but in impression of progress, but in reality, its really just a kind of an intermediary stage between between school and work. I dont think theres any shame that. Think theres any shame in that. But of a degree in but three years of a degree in hairdressing, at what cost . Just yeah, when you could learn it on the job. Yeah, when you could learn it on the hairdressing is useful, but. Hairdressing is useful, but. But was about prospects of but it was about prospects of jobs and 62 universities apparently cant even fulfil that. But there was also this question of the University Life and experience being independent away from the parents. But now with the indoctrination, theyre not even getting that. No, thats true. Also theyre always on and also theyre always on the phone anyway. So i mean, we had phone call month, if had one phone call a month, if you were lucky. Nico a story in the telegraph that serves as a warning anyone tracks warning to anyone who tracks their location their childrens location on their childrens location on their. Their iphone. Now, this is a funny story, boss arrested for tracking employee on sick leave. Now, this happened in spain when there was apparently this long litigation going on between the boss and the employee who had apparent admittedly presumed ably got anxiety. So it was deaung ably got anxiety. So it was dealing with this anxiety was on sick leave, presumably presuming because of this anxiety and wouldnt you know it, he finds the gps tracking device from the boss on the bottom of his car. So now the boss is in trouble. Yeah, thats going to heighten your paranoia, isnt it . I mean, thats disgraceful, isnt yeah risking peoples movement. No, thats. I mean, that is spying. Yeah its a terrible infringement, but i suppose. I suppose the thing is , if i suppose the thing is, if the was, like, signed off the guy was, like, signed off with , he hes allowed to. I dont think hes under house arrest or anything like that. He is allowed go. That. So he is allowed to go. But know what im but i mean, you know what im trying say. Trying to say. Anyway, well finish off with some further depressing evidence in the times that the most powerful man in the world is at best in serious cognitive decline and quite possibly being reanimate basis. Reanimate on a daily basis. This has to be seen i mean, this has to be seen to believed. Biden cut to be believed. Joe biden cut off after rambling at press conference. So at this point, its almost you feel bad for laughing at it. But this was quite something. I did see the this is making all the rounds with the american conservative commentator. So biden is giving this press conference in vietnam and he is cut off by his own press secretary, karine jean pierre, who has had his back over the hunter Biden Corruption issues all over through these months. So he he through these months. So he he is still rambling. And by his is still rambling. And by his standards, hes not even doing that poorly. Okay and suddenly shes like, no press conference is over. And then jazz tinkly piano comes on as if you are at the oscars and you thought it was like something wrong with the clip. But that actually happened, didnt it . Extraordinary. Didnt it . It was extraordinary. Almost like the shepherds crook. I was about to say. I was about to say. Absolutely bizarre. Yeah, absolutely bizarre. Thats three. Thats all for part three. Coming up in the final section, finding hobby late in as finding a hobby late in life as long as it isnt flagrant sexism or filming family road trips. See and welcome back to headliners daily mail. Now bruce, and it seems having a hobby is key to enjoying retirement. Maybe not reading the daily mail. Well, possibly not reading the daily mail. And unless you like to upset yourself. But yes, what the daily mail is saying is if you join a book club or take up gardening, this could stave off depression later in thats scientists are thats what scientists are saying. Book club saying. So joining a book club or up gardening could saying. So joining a book club or boostp gardening could saying. So joining a book club or boost yourdening could saying. So joining a book club or boost your wellbeing|ld saying. So joining a book club or boost your wellbeing. D help boost your wellbeing. Thats what trying to thats what theyre trying to say. With my friend today say. I was with my friend today who i think hes only 50. He tried talk to me about tried to talk to me about a plant and i said, im not being rude if this is all weve got, i dont this. Im really not dont want this. Im really not interested. Im not interested. So im not necessarily sure i agree with it. I think youd be better doing Something Like day drinking. Well, thats interesting. I find you know what my parents, my father, especially very keen on gardening. Hes 93 now and only quite recently lost the ability to do so. I think it did sustain him throughout a long retirement as well. He stopped working in his mid 50s. He just had a natural instinct and affinity for gardening has taken real it. Ive never real pleasure in it. Ive never been to find it or share been able to find it or share it. My wifes quite good at the gardening got mates who gardening. Ive got mates who quite think gardening quite like, i think gardening is something instinctive something you either instinctive get or dont. And then other get or you dont. And then other people cooking stuff. People like cooking and stuff. I do think its good to have a hobby that engages mind and hand and at the same time, i think hobbies like crosswords or sudoku or whatever, or even bndge sudoku or whatever, or even bridge , im not that clever bridge, im not that clever because you dont have to do anything constructive with your hands. Anything where moulding clay, making bread , drawing clay, making bread, drawing anything where you have to use motor control. These things can be quite you do what i mean and gardening have i get gardening does have that. I get it. But i dont everyone it. But i dont know. Everyone is hunt around maybe is you have to hunt around maybe and is. Do you have one . I one . I love gardening. I kill many plants because ive just become a relatively recently. A homeowner relatively recently. So maybe im not. Thank you. Well, three years ago, but. But well, three years ago, but. But the thing is, the idea behind having a hobby is to keep your wits and your brain trained and focus and everything. But my generation, the sort of afflictions that we have, well have to work until we are 80, anyway. Exactly. You dont need to exactly. So you dont need to worry that. Have worry about that. Have Artificial Intelligence , do the Artificial Intelligence, do the gardening telegraph have news of a disgraced accountant who has to be said at one time, sounds like he have like he would have been absolutely core absolutely their core readership. But the times have changed. Readership. But the times have chatimes have changed. Yeah. Times have changed. Yeah. When i read this the when i when i read this the first page, i thought, okay, well this accountant was in well this this accountant was in this feud with the Management Company that managed this Building Block in which he owned a property. And just in the a property. And just in the manner of captain mannering, he calls this lady who was on the board of this Management Company stupid girl, as opposed to stupid girl, as opposed to stupid boy. Yeah. And i thought, stupid boy. Yeah. And i thought, okay, is it that bad . But then i read along and i read further and apparently its had a history of giving all sorts of insults to men and women in his emails. It does sound like he is a bit of a bullying, kind of slightly boorish kind of individual , slightly boorish kind of individual, doesnt he really . Thats the thing. And i dont care that hes got his thing, but it does feel to me like changing one word of a22 word catchphrase does kind of destroy it as a catchphrase. Stupid i remember stupid boy man , ring remember stupid boy man, ring and pike. I dont think its one that really carries into the modern era anyway, is it . But to say stupid girl changes it quite dramatically. Dramatically. Yeah, because we have all the whole feminist context around it i it would be okay for a woman to call another woman a stupid girl because french and saunders used to that a lot. Used to do that a lot. Thats. Thats. Yes. I wonder whether there are certain. I mean, that is are certain. I mean, that is interesting. Remember it interesting. I dont remember it a there was a lot. But if there was a catchphrase between women or whatever might be, that whatever that might be, that might a separate issue. Yeah. Might be a separate issue. Yeah. I dont think you can transfer the mandarin pike relation ship, you know, apart from anything else, not the army, is it . Else, its not the army, is it . No. No you mean has he called her stupid lady . Would that have stupid lady . Would that not have been stupid is quite been a problem . Stupid is quite a word. A brutal word. Think imean, a brutal word. Think i mean, thats why i think. I mean, thats why its comic, right . Isnt it . And i think. I mean, thats why itsmutteredght . Isnt it . And i think. I mean, thats why itsmuttered itt . Isnt it . And i think. I mean, thats why its muttered it undert it . And i think. I mean, thats why itsmuttered it under his and i think. I mean, thats why itsmuttered it under his breath, he muttered it under his breath, didnt he, mannering . Stupid boy. For benefit, boy. If it was for our benefit, it wasnt for pike would it wasnt really for pike would overhear anyway. Im getting overhear it. Anyway. Im getting into details of the sitcom into the details of the sitcom daily again, bruce, it daily mail again, bruce, it looks like video made about looks like a video made about road safety might have be road safety might have to be repurposed as a how to. Repurposed as a how not to. Well, funny thing is this well, the funny thing is this has been re edited because the national highways have paid this influencer and he is on instagram as father of daughters. They paid him £15,000 for a road safety video of which people said he appears to be filming at illegally using a selfie stick. And i went on his instagram today. Theres also other concerns about one of his daughters has a leg on the central console near the gears and there was a bit too much joviality and frivolity in the car. But it didnt look to me as though he was using mistake. Though he was using mistake. Because if you if you look at people on reality shows. Yeah im like the kardashians. They have the cameras rigged in the car. So it have the cameras rigged in the car. So it kind of looked like that but hes fish. That was the thing. You could see his fist the photos they see his fist in the photos they showed the in newspaper. Showed in the in the newspaper. But the had edited but the stick had been edited out. Was driving out. But he was driving an automatic. Wasnt holding automatic. So he wasnt holding the right. I thought it the gear. Right. I thought it was automatic, actually. Was an automatic, actually. Central i looked at the central console. Yeah. Console. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, i mean, im no columbo with but did to me with this, but it did look to me as he was holding something. As if he was holding something. But thing itself been but the thing itself had been removed. Was an but the thing itself had been remiposition. Was an but the thing itself had been remiposition. If was an but the thing itself had been remiposition. If it was an but the thing itself had been remiposition. If it wasnt; an odd position. If it wasnt £15,000, yeah, id get paid £15,000. Not to post anything about like. And he didnt look like it was anything. It was just him and his kids in the back of the car right. Hes not like telling us or anything, telling people to have a sandwich on the journey and all that. We have boozers now. Yeah, we have boozers now. Yeah, we have boozers now. It started with uber and storage heaters. Now dynamic pricing comes into the pub, so dynamic pricing is kind of the opposite of happy hour, right . Basically some pubs at least stonegate group, which owns the largest number of pubs in britain, they have been doing it for a while, but its becoming more of a common practise during , for example, favoured sporting events like world cup and such. Events like world cup and such. They raise the prices. You can they raise the prices. You can argue its offer and demand , but argue its offer and demand, but people who you could say when its quiet, they lower the pnces. Prices. Thats how they would say it, isnt it . It depends what your anchor is. So this is like surge for so this is like a surge for peak periods. Pricing. Yeah, exactly. Surge pricing. Yeah, exactly. Which is fine. Which i think is fine. Personally, to say in which i think is fine. Perrpublly, to say in which i think is fine. Perrpub as to say in which i think is fine. Perrpub as long to say in which i think is fine. Perrpub as long as to say in which i think is fine. Perrpub as long as you;ay in which i think is fine. Perrpub as long as you know that the pub as long as you know that thats whats going on. Yeah. But good but i mean, its quite a good idea to sort of distribute because some people can probably think, well could probably because some people can probably think, be ll could probably because some people can probably think, be ll co betweenably because some people can probably think, be ll cobetweenably 6, could be there between 4 and 6, that fine. That would be fine. Wouldnt it be but then wouldnt it be counter intuitive that people are a are like, im not going to pay a premium price and ill go and get a bottle aperol ill get a bottle of aperol and ill dnnk get a bottle of aperol and ill drink house . Drink at the house . Know, but i yeah, you know, but i mean, im all in favour of the, the tax system adjusted tax system being adjusted to encourage tax system being adjusted to enccandie drinking home. Pub and stop drinking at home. But within the pub hours weve always but within the pub hours weve alwits simply social its simply its a social experience to watch the match with your friends. Nothing can replace certainly bottle and certainly not a bottle of aperol under the table show is very nearly over. Lets take another quick look at tuesdays front mps front pages. The daily mail mps are told dont mention the spy the telegraph. Britain cannot afford to cut ties with china, despite the spying row. Guardian has nhs alarm over exodus of medical students. The express why uks £480 million deal to stop the boats is doomed brackets. Its the french eye new state pension boost on the way for millions but no tax cuts. And finally , the daily cuts.
