news.com.au. it's time now for headliners . headliners. >> hello and welcome to headliners i'm simon evans joining me tonight, two comedians with no beginning to their talent. >> it's leo kearse and steve n allen . allen. >> how very dare. >> how very dare. >> not very nice simon i know they always team me up with this unemployed disobliging . unemployed disobliging. >> don't start blaming some invisible people. >> in fact, i suspect you probably collaborate with them to put me on the back foot. >> don't you know? you say so get him to say that about me. and then. and then he'll be apologetic and diminutive in the. >> it's not even true. >> it's not even true. >> i can knit. so there are beginnings to my talent. >> what are your modem accomplishments? >> i was trying to go through a list the other day. you know, in the old days, a man used to have to con a ship and be able to butcher a hog and light a fire in the wild. what would you say they are nowadays? >> i can't correctly butcher a
11:03 pm
hog, but i can make a mess of exactly. >> it's also one of the meanings of butcher, isn't it? yeah. >> what have you got? >> what have you got? >> you got anything? >> you got anything? >> i genuinely can prepare? animals that are dead . animals that are dead. >> can you? >> can you? >> yeah, yeah. what do they call it? >> that's the dress . you dress >> that's the dress. you dress like a crab, isn't it? >> that's fancy english terms. so i just rip the guts out and stick it on a plate. >> that's all i'd do. >> that's all i'd do. >> excellent. well, we'll look forward to the second half. in the meantime, let's have a look at the front pages. we have the daily mail prostate scans that could cut deaths by 40. we have the guardian. 22 minutes of horror. boy killed in sword rampage. the telegraph with that story . two schoolboy killed in story. two schoolboy killed in daylight sword rampage. the times immigration levels fall amid visas crackdown . the eye amid visas crackdown. the eye news boy, 14, killed on his way to school in horror, sword attack and finally, the daily star make britain great again with bin man. so those were your front pages .
11:04 pm
front pages. >> i think it's count binface, isn't it? >> but i don't want to have to read all the other candidates so we steer away from that. kicking off the in—depth look into wednesday's front pages with the telegraph. leo. >> so the telegraph leads with the big story today, obviously, is the schoolboy killed in a daylight sword rampage and they've they've caught the man, he had a samurai sword. >> so i mean, obviously there's a lot of knife crime in london, but the knives are getting bigger for it appears and yeah, absolutely horrific. there are also two first responders, two police injured . they tasered police injured. they tasered them. there's some some pretty, you know, gripping and gruesome video. so they've obviously they've got him. >> there's no ambiguity about this. >> he's been he's he's been nabbed. >> he's he's alive . nabbed. >> he's he's alive. he's in hospital right now. they don't know a motive. they don't know if you know, he's not known to the police, which you think you know, somebody who had serious psychological issues would probably be known to the police, but they're saying it's not terror related at the moment . terror related at the moment. terror related or gang related.
11:05 pm
>> just just psycho is that is that the implication? >> yeah, it seems to be. i mean, he looks kind of too to old be in a gang. but i mean, this is all speculation. i think it's, you know, it's important. after spending a few minutes on twitter, i think it's important to avoid speculating on. absolutely. >> i mean, the temptation with a samurai sword , steve, as well, samurai sword, steve, as well, is to assume that there's a bit of a kind of mental, obligation there as well. you know what i mean? that's the kind of like larping end of the spectrum, isn't it? yeah. >> i mean, look, we don't know the details. even the police say that we're all we deserve. the details of this kind of crime that we need to get to the bottom of it. and actually, you know what? we sit on these this desk so often and say bad things about the police. i think it is worth saying that. did this job. all right. i mean, one of the headunes all right. i mean, one of the headlines talks about 22 minutes of horror, but 22 minutes from finding out that this is happening to getting it stopped and, you know, two of them injured and it shows there's bravery there. they're stepping in. >> is there any implication that he would have been like up and down the street, waving the sword of , well, he was running sword of, well, he was running down gardens like jumping fences, but that was probably to try and avoid the capture. >> then caught in a front
11:06 pm
garden, being tasered three times as well. i mean, you know, it's not the story to be glib about, but i didn't think it took that many times being tasered. if they dropped the voltage or something. >> well, with the taser, i mean, there's plenty of clips i have seen on, on american tv more often where they use the taser and people keep coming, and i think it can be, they used to say about angel dust, it was known as was it pcp that can allow you to there's a there's a clip on there. yeah, which can allow you to overcome the otherwise the sort of muscle contractions is how a taser works, isn't it ? i contractions is how a taser works, isn't it? i think it's not just pain, but it's supposed to sort of cramp you. but yeah. well, i mean, that would certainly also, it's got to get the two prongs have got to get a good connection. >> right. it depends where the connection is as well on your body. baggy hoodie could actually be quite good armour in actually be quite good armour in a way. >> let's move on to slightly better news in the daily mail. the prostate news ? yeah. the prostate news? yeah. >> good news, prostate scans that could and that is doing a whole lot of heavy lifting in the headline, cut death by 40. what it basically is, is they're going to get a massive dump of
11:07 pm
data and analyse it. right. this is the way it's a literal dump. i mean, it depends if you do the test badly, i don't know. i mean, this is i don't know what kind of scans they're talking about, but it might see the end of the old fashioned prostate test, which is going to be me not going to the doctors anymore. yeah, but no, this is this is good news. it's so speculative. but we're going to be the uk is leading this research. it will be the biggest data set of ever. and hopefully it then means that smaller indicators will be picked up. you catch it earlier, you save lives. >> i have a slightly renegade view about prostate because an awful lot of older men die with prostate cancer rather than of it. >> we know that it's a condition that gets you sooner or later. if you live long enough. but the other thing about the prostate is it just becomes a massive inconvenience and discomfort, isn't it? it's the enlarged prostate. that means you're getting up 3 or 4 times in the night. you know, it's the enlarged prostate. that means you can never really have a satisfying evacuation. what we ultimately need is to be able to remove the prostate safely and efficiently at a certain point, when it's no longer required ,
11:08 pm
when it's no longer required, and we shrink it using some sort of medicine. >> yeah, that sort of thing, something like that. >> down to the size of a walnut. i mean, it's perfectly possible to shrink your liver, isn't it, using alcohol. yeah. so you would think there'd be something cocktail works for prostate . cocktail works for prostate. >> it's right next to that good nerve, isn't it? that's. that's why the operation is so feared. i can't remember the name of the nerve, but the one nerve that still means you do some sexy stuff. yes, yes , that's often done. >> but that is to be, to be tiptoe around this a little bit. >> but you can have your prostate removed and continue to have erections , have have erections, have a satisfying sex life. although, you know, there are probably lots of other things that might mitigate that. >> anyway, at a certain age. no offence, semen, but it's still rather go to a hospital. >> yeah , i've just got the old >> yeah, i've just got the old corkscrew on the on the swiss army knife. >> that's all you need me anyway , let's have a look at the, the times. >> leo, what have they got ? >> leo, what have they got? >> leo, what have they got? >> some more good news. so immigration levels fall amid visas crackdown. so a crackdown on foreign students visas has slashed the number of dependents they're bringing in to the uk by 80. so previously students could
11:09 pm
bnng 80. so previously students could bring dependents, family with them. and so the student visa was like a trojan horse to bring, students who could change their visa or work on the side and also bring their family who could, who could then work , could, who could then work, claim benefits, use use services or whatever. but the data reveals that the number of dependents granted visas to join their student spouse has fallen from nearly 33,000in the first quarter of last year to 6700in the same period this year , and the same period this year, and the same period this year, and the number of overseas students applying for visas also fell by 15. so i mean, it's really sort of vindicating rishi sunak and james cleverly's approach, to this, because we've known for a while now a lot of colleges in the uk aren't really about education. they're about they're almost like a sort of visa. you can buy a visa to come to the to the uk, and the education is just a sort of like exit through the gift shop, isn't it? yeah you get the way in. i don't know why we don't just have visa auctions. we could raise a huge amount of money for the for the national purse and just auction
11:10 pm
visas to people who want to come here instead of giving the to money rubbish universities. >> uk approved people smugglers , >> uk approved people smugglers, traffickers, you know, you could start work, set up an office in libya. >> we already do. they're called the rnli. >> yes. that's true. anything a whiff of context would be the reason this is, this was brought in to try and get a good headune in to try and get a good headline out of it. >> they've got a good headline. this is reduced. so the big problem is legal migration was 700,000. around 700,000. it was 30 ish. thousand dropped down to, you know, 80% less than that. that means still it would be approximately 700,000. these numbers are so small in comparison to the problem they're trying to solve, and they've managed to get a good headune they've managed to get a good headline out of it without really doing a big bit of solving the big problem. >> but this is just one section of the of the problem. so, i mean, they've got to sort of do this, replicate this across all sections. well, as you were saying earlier, the first rwanda shipment is underway . shipment is underway. >> and so obviously that's going to put paid to the small boats little by little, little, you know, niche by niche . know, niche by niche. >> one guy got sent back. we'll take that one off that 700,000
11:11 pm
huge deterrent steve. >> that's the issue, ending this section with a guardian , sir, to section with a guardian, sir, to see that we're not covering the star. but let's have a look at the guardian, well, they've got, minister list cap on faith school selection in and this. there's a rule if you are oversubscribed as a faith school , there's a rule about having 50. you could have 50. just the faith thereafter. and then you had to open it to people in the catchment area. all right. that's going to be dropped that even some of the people against this as an idea include, former archbishop of canterbury rowan williams is against the idea of it. and so this is to allow faith schools to be more determined by the faith . yes. determined by the faith. yes. exclusively. yeah. get rid of that 50% cap. >> that seems to me reasonable to me, don't you? >> who looks at the uk in 2024 and says, you know what, this country needs more segregation based on race and religion. >> yeah, but we know that's not what it is really. >> but it will end up being that. >> yeah, but well, a lot of faith schools, it's because they have good results and they have good discipline. >> and because parents like to know what kind of children their children are going with, it's not really so much about the
11:12 pm
faith and the indoctrination. >> you just think it's about catholic schools there. >> well, there were christian churches, sorry, schools in london before we moved out that were that had a very good reputation . reputation. >> and it wasn't because we weren't religious, but we were, you know, like a lot of parents considered faking it because it was it basically you get a private school quality education now, whatever that might be down to, i don't know. but obviously it's largely down to eliminating , you know, the certain a certain kind of people that the state school can't have no ability to weed out. and that is what it really is. it's not, i don't think, because you want your children to grow up with a strong faith, it's because you want them to grow up without interruption. >> but maybe that's like one type of faith school. there are other kinds that are funded by saudi arabia and, you know, actually push quite sort of abhorrent views that even guardian readers who love faith schools, who, well , a certain schools, who, well, a certain faith school wouldn't like, i mean, things like, you know, how to to how stone a woman to death or. yes, give her is a sin. >> given rowan williams has come out against them. it's probably i mean, he likes those kind, right? he's pro sharia law,
11:13 pm
isn't he? he's. but it's the christian ones he won't like for legal reasons. >> the host should push back on that point. >> i do like the way . i like the >> i do like the way. i like the way philip pullman is mentioned, though he, of course, wrote that sort of anti—catholic trilogy. >> didn't he? the, what was it called? the northern lights and the secret telescope or something? not not the secret telescope . telescope. >> that's it. that's a different story altogether. anyway those were your front pages , in part were your front pages, in part two, we eviscerate the innards . two, we eviscerate the innards. we have the latest on dodgy visas, monty panesar , flying visas, monty panesar, flying circus. and what to do? the what to do. what do the chinese want with all that gold?
11:14 pm
11:15 pm
11:16 pm
>> welcome back to headliners with me, simon evans, leo kearse, and steve n allen. >> the philip pullman trilogy
11:17 pm
was called his dark materials. thank you for all your tweets, steve times now a surprising new ally for gorgeous george. it's marvellous . monty throwing his marvellous. monty throwing his turban into the ring. yeah. >> monty panesar to stand as mp for workers party in a general election. this is in ealing southall, george galloway's party. the man who is very famous at the moment for saying that rishi sunak and keir starmer are two cheeks of the same backside, a despised rishi sunak, but he's, two cheeks of the same backside, and george is very much putting himself in the middle. >> yeah, the. >> yeah, the. >> so they've announced 200 candidates to stand in different areas. monty has said he would like to become prime minister, which shows really understand politics. then because that's not going to happen, is it? >> i mean, his initials are. >> i mean, his initials are. >> no, the wrong way round is mp isn't he? mp? mp yeah, mpp, mp for pm. >> but so george galloway obviously recently won the by—election. made it all about the situation in gaza. yeah. meanwhile, monty said he will leave foreign policy to galloway as he's no expert in such matters. he's standing on a platform of fan ownership for football clubs, so interesting
11:18 pm
take on it. he has also said he wants to get rid of london's ulez, which is be a vote winner. yeah, the member for ealing will not be. >> is he sorry . >> is he sorry. >> is he sorry. >> ealing. >> ealing. yeah. >> ealing. yeah. so >> ealing. yeah. so that >> ealing. yeah. so that is >> ealing. yeah. so that is in the territory. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah, but still won't have the powers to do it. but it'll be a vote winner. just saying that. you want it will do it. >> i like the way he says. yeah. so he's saying i don't know much about foreign policy. >> he like he's are there any other topics he does know anything about. >> considerably. mainly football ownership of shared ownership of football clubs. >> so spin bowling right. >> so spin bowling right. >> it's quite hot on that. i don't know if that's a policy in the manifesto. you can buy the manifesto for about £4. it's available for you to go through. galloway is going to stand workers party candidates in loads of seats, but not against jeremy corbyn. so, you know, being a putin lover pays off. and it also says in the article that chris williamson , who's a that chris williamson, who's a deputy, works on iranian state tv. this is press tv, a tv channel that ofcom hates more than this one. yeah. so that puts it in context. no, i remember it. >> it often gets brought up in conversations of that kind, isn't it, i don't know what monty panesar is very popular bloke and he's a sikh, right.
11:19 pm
which is often mistaken by the, less sort of detail orientated for muslims. but it's quite a different thing entirely, really i >> -- >> yeah. and in fact, it's interesting that, you know, considering george galloway has historically got so much, so much of his support from he stood as the sort of muslim candidate. yeah. in places, i mean , recently, that's exactly mean, recently, that's exactly what he did, you know, making gaza his main , thing. and so, gaza his main, thing. and so, yeah, monty panesar being sikh, it's interesting that he's he's broadening it out a little bit. >> well, he's a very likeable chap or is appears to i'm not that bothered about cricket but people seem to like him. >> he's no joey barton over to dublin's fair city now leo where the girls are so pretty but the tent city less so. yeah. so how anti—image protests have grown in ireland with riots in dublin , in ireland with riots in dublin, arson attacks on proposed asylum centres and tractor blockades as the capital's skid row tent city, where they house a lot of asylum seekers, continues to grow . so this is coming as a grow. so this is coming as a political storm brews between the uk and irish governments
11:20 pm
because they're grappling with rising immigration that's grown even more, even even higher. recently because people, have been leaving britain because they think they're going to there's a risk of being deported to rwanda. so they've been going to rwanda. so they've been going to ireland, which is seen as a sort of safer place. and because ireland designated the uk an unsafe destination , so said they unsafe destination, so said they wouldn't deport anyone back to the uk, now they're frantically trying to like redo that legislation to make the uk a safe place. and i think they have , designated it safe again have, designated it safe again so they can try sending people back. but then the uk is saying, well, no, you can't, we can't send people back to france. if we can't send people back to europe, why should europe be able to send people to us? so, so yeah, people are going to be going backwards and forwards. >> refugees, ratchet. that's the rule . yeah. yeah. one way only. rule. yeah. yeah. one way only. >> yeah yeah yeah. basically and some people are saying that ireland should take these people in because , you know, the in because, you know, the historically ireland's got, sent a lot of people out, especially
11:21 pm
to america. yeah. america and to the uk. but i mean, i think that was to culturally similar communities. we've seen a lot of sort of social tension in ireland because of the amount of people that have come come from , people that have come come from, quite culturally distant places. >> it's interesting that, isn't it, in america , that it, in america, that conversation gets quite heated about how irish were bracketed , about how irish were bracketed, in the early 20th century. they weren't considered white. apparently, they were considered to be a sort of sort of subset species of, you know, in these days when there was quite a lot of really quite, now, unpalatable racial, designations and so on. and so perhaps they should be more tolerant , i don't should be more tolerant, i don't know, i don't think that they should be visited upon them. >> do you be well, i'm not entirely convinced that that we're i think we're falling for a bit of a narrative here. i think ireland certainly had a problem with, immigration numbers. and they've got a stat that 80% are coming through the border. but that's always been the case anyway. it's just easier to travel across land, isn't it? and so now i think what happened was the rwanda bill got passed and they thought, hang on, is a really good time to say this is why we
11:22 pm
should be handing them back to the uk. right? they've just been making the journey through the uk anyway. it feels like it's opportunistic, but also there is a rule within the eu that you can send migrants back to a safe country that they have travelled through. well, if they've come through. well, if they've come through the uk , they've come through the uk, they've come through the uk, they've come through france. yeah. i think you don't have the problem about the uk not being in the eu. so have a chat with france. >> so france could go through that way. but there is definitely, anger on the streets of dublin. there is and they are organising and they seem a lot less , inhibited count. less, inhibited count. >> yeah. well, this is the thing. irish people haven't been broken yet. you know, british people have been absolutely broken. we're full of this guilt, and we've had it hammered into us and the sort of the woke punch and drums who dictate our, our culture, have told us that if you oppose or question mass immigration in any way, then you're a despicable racist and should never work again. >> absolutely. steve, the guardian now they say a jump in homelessness has laid bare the scale of the housing crisis and vice versa, presumably.
11:23 pm
>> yeah . homelessness jumps by >> yeah. homelessness jumps by 16% in england, laying bare scale is how i thought it was. but it's not, so let's define our terms so we don't know about it. this way later. they're talking about of no fixed abode homelessness rather than street homelessness rather than street homelessness because these are families with children. so they end up in temporary accommodation. if you want to do proper homelessness , be a single proper homelessness, be a single bloke because there is something motivating about in the back of your mind, knowing if you mess up, you're growing a big beard and drinking special brew. i think it keeps us all that little bit level of focused, but nearly 45,000 households now have nowhere to live. it's gone up 16. it's a mixture of rental sector, cost of living , all the sector, cost of living, all the things and all of them. in a little tree diagram go back to not enough houses. it's the it's the same problem that causes all the same problem that causes all the problems. do they go back to not enough houses or did they go back to too many people? >> i mean, if you let 1.2 million people into a country in a year and that's just in one yean a year and that's just in one year, never mind all the years before that, they're also had hundreds of thousands of people coming in. where are those people going to do that point, though, these 45,000 households would have been in a house
11:24 pm
already, so other people coming in wouldn't have usurped them. well, then how did they get usurped if the if the problem couldn't afford a rent? because the rent, the rent then becomes too expensive. >> the rent becomes expensive because there's too much demand and not enough supply. you didn't build enough houses or because you let in a million people already. >> you're already never been a yearin >> you're already never been a year in which you've built a new million houses in the uk. >> there's never, ever been that yet. >> and i think that agrees with the point that the problem slowly gets baked in. there's not, even if we have had zero on migration, there's not. >> there are also like more people living as single, you know, single occupancy households and that sort of thing. but i think that's i think it's the other way around. >> i think people are, are sharing. i mean, i shared flats right up until my 40s, which i don't think, you know, somebody from a previous generation would have done. well. >> i did, but i recognised that that was my own fault. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> daily mail now, leo and they've noticed that china has been amassing huge gold reserves for the past 18 months. and they wonder if it's up to something. >> yeah, this is quite worrying news. so china has has bought a
11:25 pm
huge £135 billion stockpile of gold, raising fears it's preparing to safeguard its economy against western sanctions ahead of a possible invasion of taiwan. and they've also been offloading more than $400 billion worth of us treasury bonds. so $400 billion worth of us treasury bonds . so they're treasury bonds. so they're trying to sort of, they're trying to sort of, they're trying to sort of, they're trying to detach their economy from the dollar. and, you know, gold is, you know, the perfect sort of fungible or is it fungible or non—fungible? i can't remember anyway . i think can't remember anyway. i think that's it. yeah, yeah, yeah, you can spend it anywhere. it's not you know, you won't be malleable. yeah. you won't be ductile. >> it's incredibly malleable and ductile. >> it must be fungible . you >> it must be fungible. you won't be, subject to sanctions or anything you can't sanction. >> you can't tell where it comes from. >> exactly. yeah yeah. and ukraine, this comes as ukraine has shown that the west, you know, will make a big show of support for a country that gets invaded by a dictator like xi jinping or putin, but then we'll get bored and stop supporting them. and also, xi jinping is
11:26 pm
70. the demographics in china are looking pretty grim for china. so it's not it's not actually going to overtake america. this is probably the closest it's ever going to get to comparative power with america. so this is only chance to sort of take taiwan back while he still can. yes. >> not that it will cure any of his demographic problems, but it will. i mean, well, it's a it's an absolutely fundamental clause in their whole sort of, their contract, their mission statement, isn't it? yeah. it is quite interesting that that i have a couple of friends who invest in that kind of market, and they've been observing this for a number of years that china's, i think has been stockpiling gold even more than 18 months, which is what the mail said. and there was concern at one point that they were going to try and launch a new default currency , have a gold default currency, have a gold backed currency, which would be the first one for a very long time. you know, and like challenge dollar hegemony on that front , i don't know. what that front, i don't know. what do you think about that? >> well, i, i have no idea about whether they'd be able to launch this separate. it's probably not realistic in terms of the amount of gold you'd need to do that.
11:27 pm
>> the other available option is bitcoin. of course, i don't know whether the chinese have considered paddling into that. >> that i think, well, the idea of stockpiling gold , i mean, it of stockpiling gold, i mean, it is worrying. >> and i think nigel farage was the face of adverts about buying gold. so we need to look in to see who he's going to invade next. but this you're right, it's the perfect time. this is really the time to be worried because also there's the cover, the distraction of russia, the distraction , one of the proxies distraction, one of the proxies of iran. so this is china, russia , iran. get north korea in russia, iran. get north korea in there. it's the creek nations. ladies and gentlemen . ladies and gentlemen. >> and is it also timed for the election in november ? do you election in november? do you think they'll do it under cover of that? i mean, i suppose that would be quite a problematic. yeah as well. >> well, i guess if trump gets in and he's more isolationist, although republicans tend to be isolationist when they're in opposition, and then when they get in, they're actually a lot more, we're going to beat you up. >> the funny thing about trump was the very first thing he did when he was president, the first kind of spanish threw in the works was to phone taiwan, wasn't it? direct? do you remember that? and and had addressed them as such, you know, and he provided the enormous military support to ukraine? >> yes, absolutely .
11:28 pm
>> yes, absolutely. >> yes, absolutely. >> well, interesting times lie ahead, the welsh meanwhile, are well aware that we're going to do that in the next part . i do do that in the next part. i do apologise. we are halfway through, but we do have the welsh attack on, lying mps coming up. we also have students finding out in colombia and judging people by the quality of their rhymes. all to come

and welcome back to headliners. steve, we have the guardian now. welshman say politicians speak with forked tongue. >> yeah, well, senate members consider criminalising lying. politicians right. so the plaid cymru leader, adam price , cymru leader, adam price, leading proponent, says there's a credibility gap in politics. it's become a gaping chasm. yeah, but it's you can't make it illegal. it's not going to work. is he not seeing the world we live in right now where there's no issue of truth , whatever,
11:32 pm
no issue of truth, whatever, whichever side you think you belong to, you will believe you will stomach any old thames water floating turd to believe your guy. your side is right. so all this will do is move that argument from social media into some courts. >> it has also . i mean, it's not >> it has also. i mean, it's not it might be, you know, possible to say i was in, birmingham on thursday and you weren't you were in liverpool . and i suppose were in liverpool. and i suppose if you get caught on that level, you know, that's there are processes. but to say, for instance, this government is fascist or this government is communist or this government is anti—semitic, or this government or appeases terrorists, or this is a woman. >> yes, exactly. some people would say, oh my god, this is definitely isn't a woman. or other people would say, yes, this is the best kind of woman. >> this is the woman. and technically and legally, of course, due to some really quite extraordinary legislation, they might have the law on their side. yeah >> i mean, there are caveats in the proposed bill that opinion would be, not included, that if you're speaking of a future intention, it's not included. all of these things which actually basically means there'd be very few. >> oh, he's actually drawn up a
11:33 pm
bill. >> there's some suggestion. yeah, suggested bill, however, because if you mislead the house, that's, that's, an actionable that's a prosecutable offence, isn't it, to mislead the house. >> and you can be i mean, that's what boris johnson was accused of because he didn't correct the record at the first opportunity. >> so i think the system we've got actually kind of works with. yes. >> it's not like you can just get away with it scot free. there are those other things that you have privilege in parliament to be able to libel and slander people. right? yeah. which is, which is kind of lying in itself, because if it's if it's true, then it's not libel, i think anyway. isn't it. >> yeah. yeah, absolutely. and this is i mean , we know that this is i mean, we know that this is i mean, we know that this is i mean, we know that this is only ever going to be used to, to persecute political dissidents. like we've seen stuff like, i mean, in america, they love this . they just, you they love this. they just, you know, they bang trump up for this instead of having to, like, tease various other things into, into federal charges. but this chap has, a particular issue with tony blair was he would be one of the was the war criminal thing. >> yeah. back in the 2000, mid 2000. >> so, yeah, this is a great idea. yeah. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> then he says back then it was
11:34 pm
almost laughed out of court with comments such as the prisons aren't big enough. and he says i think now it's coming from the margins to be seen as a serious proposition. no, the prisons are fuller. yeah, yeah. this is idea, staying with the guardian now and the old me sowing me reaping meme has come to columbia . columbia. >> yeah. so columbia university students, this is a university in america, not in columbia, but it's one of the fancy ivy league ones , the students took over an ones, the students took over an academic building early on tuesday, and they now face expulsion, spokesperson for the university has said as tensions surrounding the students pro—palestinian and quite anti—israel, demonstrates have escalated. so the columbia spokesman said, we made it very clear that the work of the university cannot be endlessly interrupted by protesters who violate the rules, because apparently medical students have been unable to, you know, do their tasks and they're practising and stuff because there's people blowing horns and playing, you know, bongos and stuff. yeah, so, so they're, they've been sending the police in. they've actually been dealing, you know, they've been quite heavy handed with these
11:35 pm
protests. not that i'm saying that's a bad thing. i love seeing cops beating up students and a couple of professors as well. and professors. there's an amazing. there's an amazing, clip of a professor being being carted off by the cops. help! i'm a professor. i'm a professor. and then somebody, somebody commented underneath there saying, like, you know, i'm a professor as the white person's. i can't breathe. so but i mean, this is, i don't know, i think the you know, they've been calls for free speech on campus, but this sort of goes beyond free speech. and, you know, this is recognised as doing that because, they're only doing that because, they're only doing this, when it's israel is involved. they weren't doing it when syria was, was doing it or afghanistan or any other country . and they've also had chants of things like kill the jews, which is unarguably , you know, evil is unarguably, you know, evil and discriminatory . is unarguably, you know, evil and discriminatory. but is unarguably, you know, evil and discriminatory . but the and discriminatory. but the reason this came about is because critical race theory was was allowed to flourish on campus, which is explicitly anti—white. so these students have lived in an atmosphere where it's perfectly fine to demonise an entire race, anti—white and also amte power.
11:36 pm
>> they see everything through the power matrix . so who's the power matrix. so who's powerful is definitely wrong, and who's weak and vulnerable is definitely in the right. you know, there are all kinds of things were built up almost with this in mind. it's extraordinary. >> this is why i thought you'd be in favour of the protest stopping people getting into university to slow down the learning of the things you hate more of this. yeah, but i think every single time we talk about one of these, it's simple , one of these, it's simple, right, to protest. so protest, not right to break the law. you break the law, you get carted off by the police. it seems really simple. >> absolutely. and not disrupt other people who are trying to learn as well. >> i know everyone will go like, but my cause is so important. i have to break the law. >> everyone thinks that and also, i mean university college in america is so expensive of, you know, the fees that they are going to have paid and not get back. presumably if they get turfed out, it's going to be. >> but then the universities are going to lose that money as well from kicking people out. it's not like they're going to pay for their third and fourth year. >> yeah that's true. well, might be some interesting opportunities to take up, second year history, steve, we have the guardian again , and it seems guardian again, and it seems a fondness for rap and drill music
11:37 pm
is being used as evidence of criminal character in a way that sondheim and sibelius just aren't, rap music used as evidence in scores of trials in england and wales, study finds. >> sadly, they don't mean witnesses are using the medium to give evidence and testimony. i think, you know, kind of that's the man. he's in the court dock locking him up would be a short shock. that's the suv- be a short shock. that's the guy. did i stammer, put him right in the slammer. word. >> very good. >> very good. >> but the what they mean is they've been looking at the use of someone doing a drill music video being used in evidence against them . and i suppose against them. and i suppose there's an argument. it's not as though anyone tried to arrest johnny cash for that shooting in reno. we just presumed he'd made it up. so just putting something in a song doesn't mean you did it, but this is actually used more about speaking to the character of the person. if you're the kind of person whose hobbyis you're the kind of person whose hobby is making videos about all the crimes you've done. yeah. does a jury of your peers think you're more likely to have done some crime? >> this is it. the way the story is presented and most of the voices of the guardian have foregrounded suggest that it's simply the genre, like the kind of the beats and the fact that
11:38 pm
it's not sung in a haltering falsetto rather than rather than the subject matter of the lyrics, which does in drill, tends to be about quite specific revenge killings and so on, isn't it? it's not even a general kind of gangster. oh yeah, i like my guns. >> the police aren't making this stuff up. i mean, it works as a criminal intelligence analyst and, you know, the police painstakingly mapped out the criminal gangs and, you know, the annoying thing about this is the annoying thing about this is the guardians coming in and saying, oh, this is racist and all the rest of it. number one, the white people get wrapped up in this as well, no pun intended. and number two, the guardian, they're all like these liberal milk milquetoast living in living in posh places. they're not going to be affected by by these gangs. i mean, what we saw in el salvador is , in we saw in el salvador is, in fact, you know, this, this, this thing that they have the joint enterprise , these, cases where enterprise, these, cases where they where they, basically prosecute people for being unked prosecute people for being linked for being in a gang with other people who've committed a crime. yeah, it's incredibly effective in stopping gang crime. yeah, absolutely. >> there's some great quotes in here, the targeted reforms to
11:39 pm
end the wide ranging criminalisation of black expressive culture. yeah. i mean, how that is basically, i don't know what you call that the racism of low expectations, the racism of low expectations, the idea that singing almost exclusively about brutal killings is bracket black expressive culture. yeah. >> but i think my favourite bit is where they said they're against, using police officers as rap experts. i don't think that's what they're doing . i that's what they're doing. i don't think they're critiquing the rap and locking them up for that. >> oh dear leo, i expect steve will be along shortly with his correlation does not equal causation. nonsense but before that, smartphones are rotting young people's brains. >> well, schools that ban mobile phones completely are more than twice as likely to be rated outstanding , twice as likely to be rated outstanding, a twice as likely to be rated outstanding , a study twice as likely to be rated outstanding, a study has found. or, as steve might point out, schools that are twice as likely to be rated outstanding. >> yeah. more likely to ban phone mobile phones. >> but yeah. so this report by the policy exchange think tank
11:40 pm
found that children at secondary schools with a ban in place achieved gcse results. there are 1 or 2 grades higher, and can i just. sorry to interrupt. that is the very best that you would hope from sending your kids to private school. incidentally, 1 or 2 grades is literally the best thing you'll get for paying 20 grand a year. >> yes, you could just take the phones off them and achieve the same, the same thing. and this is despite the fact and this goes against the sort of correlation, argument that steve hasn't actually made yet are proved wrong without even having mapping out the tired of him. but the schools with complete bans had a higher proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals than schools with less restrictive policies. so they're more sort of, it's the michaela thing basically, isn't it? >> those falling in the michaela line. steve. go on. do you i mean, what are two things. >> there's correlation causation . no, actually this this looks like good research. it also looks like if you look at this as cost benefit analysis, the benefit whether it is there through some non—disclosed unkageis through some non—disclosed linkage is worth it. the cost is
11:41 pm
not being on your phone. >> no. exactly >> no. exactly >> yeah. i mean putin can have gps jammers that stops planes . gps jammers that stops planes. surely the physics department can just stop phones and it's not about whether phones are bad. there's not a lot of research that actually proves phones are bad. it's they do distract . distract. >> they definitely do distract. >> they definitely do distract. >> that's the thing this is about. how difficult is it to learn stuff? it's actually quite difficult at school. so focus have fewer distractions . get rid have fewer distractions. get rid of your phones. >> it's interesting. jonathan haidt, who we may have mentioned on here before, has written a book recently called the age of anxiety, i think, in which he really feels that smartphones have done a lot of damage to kids mental health. but this isn't mental health so much. this is . but he is in norway. this is. but he is in norway. >> the band, the band , mobile >> the band, the band, mobile phones and in three years, mental health interventions for girls dropped by 60% and bullying halved across girls and boys. >> wow. that's amazing. >> wow. that's amazing. >> that really is when you've actually got to bully in person. it takes effort. yeah. and so you don't do it as much. >> i was always sceptical because my daughter had a mobile phone and i was anxious about it, but actually when i saw all her messages were so unbelievably sort of supportive and reassuring, all her friends would send each other little ,
11:42 pm
would send each other little, oh, you look so cute. >> but even worse, i was like, exactly . exactly. >> yeah, she's going to encounter the real world at some point . point. >> but everyone said, i look gorgeous , steve times now, and gorgeous, steve times now, and as someone once said, the more i hear about these nazi chaps, the less i like the sound of them. >> that's my first joke done . >> that's my first joke done. there it is. yeah. human remains found in hermann goring's wolf's lair home. i mean, if your home is called the wolf's lair, i think you're already on the baddie side. >> we've got. i think it was adolf's home, wasn't it? >> and hermann had a sort of granny flat . granny flat. >> i think he was. >> i think he was. >> it was in the annexe, which is a thing they probably enjoyed, five skeletons, including that of a baby alongside occult symbols, have been discovered by hobby archaeologists in adolf hitler's eastern centre of command. one of them was a baby. they think it might be a family. i mean, is this. this is so gross. is this another news story put in there by joe? lisa, it feels like this has to be made up. hobby archaeologists as well. another reason not to be a hobby
11:43 pm
archaeologist is that you might find this death occult thing. this is why i don't go doing me five—k running in the woods because they're always the ones who find the body. yeah, i'm not into this at all, octavian bartoszewski, something like that. was a member of the archaeology team . he said it's archaeology team. he said it's not nice. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> no kidding. it is. >> no kidding. it is. >> i mean, i don't know, you know, obviously time passes, but i think most of the nazi preoccupations are still fairly fresh in people's minds, aren't they? we know that they were into the occult. i think goering was particularly, in fact. >> but we don't know if they were killed by, you know, german forces or if they were killed by soviets or poles after they took over the area, because the suggestion being that they were part of some ritual killing. is that the sort of or just or just a family being killed? because bartoszewski says, but why kill an entire family? i mean, is he aware of the history of germany when they lost the war? yeah. i mean, the soviets enacted brutal revenge. yes, absolutely. >> yeah. they were also found with these things i've never heard of before. belemnoids. spherical or bullet shaped fossils that were often placed alongside bodies to bring them
11:44 pm
luck in the afterlife. so, you know, they weren't all bad. >> well, that's three down, one to go. last section has right wing faces . if you haven't had wing faces. if you haven't had enough of those fritzl on the move and a wall full of bees, stick around. see you shortly
11:45 pm
11:46 pm
11:47 pm
and welcome back to headliners for the final section. leo. scientific backing for the observable reality that the gb news offices are like a casting call for desperate dan movies. >> so what your face says about how you'll vote in the election square jawed people are more likely to have right wing views. researchers suggest. this is stanford university, so students there have taken a taken a break from sitting with cafes on and they've found that political beliefs can be determined based on inherent facial characteristics, and artificial intelligence can pick up on them. so left wingers tend to have smaller, lower faces with lips and noses that are oriented further downward towards their
11:48 pm
chins. compared to conservatives who have large lower faces with big jaws. because they've got more testosterone, they're stronger. this is true . even the stronger. this is true. even the women. yeah, yeah. and if you go to the gym, you stop being a little weedy, gimpy, little left wing person and you become a total right wing. chad. that's true. that genuinely happens. >> right wing people are strong. >> right wing people are strong. >> guardian carried that story a couple of years ago. they were saying that careful going to the gym can make you right wing. >> make yourself. >> make yourself. >> you'll get self sufficiency and stuff like that. you'll stop trying to show . it and stuff like that. you'll stop trying to show. it is interesting. >> the testosterone thing i think is exposure. like womb exposure to androgens, as they call it, generally speaking, does change the shape of your face. there's a chap called edward dutton who wrote a whole book about it. it's very interesting. and there are, you know, there's all kinds of evidence that, i mean, not phrenology, you know, not getting into skull shape like that, but there are sort of yeah, there are definitely , you yeah, there are definitely, you know, about the, the two 4d thing. yeah. yeah. that's interesting. >> if you can hit your prostate about dave allen , i don't know about dave allen, i don't know what he was, but he was
11:49 pm
something when he, the firstly this could win the election for rishi. >> yeah . because think about >> yeah. because think about this the other way around. you know correlation not causation . know correlation not causation. this is people going, oh, i want to look like i've got a really big square jaw and i want to look like i'm a, you know, a thin faced, attractive person. oh no, i'll vote right wing and see if suddenly. yeah. >> unfortunately, rishi himself just doesn't kind of come into focus in that , in that focus in that, in that assessment. you see, i don't see him like that. >> the conservatives aren't a right wing party. >> no tell by their faces. >> no tell by their faces. >> gavin williamson was probably about the best chin they had on there. >> oh dear. really but i remember this, this could just save us the bother of an election, though , because both election, though, because both human assessment and i had the same results, which is scan people's faces, get it over and done with, find out what the country thinks. >> absolutely. gerard depardieu, there was a chin and look what happened to him, steve, daily mail have what they describe as the terrifying prospect of an 89 year old man being moved out of high security prison into a normal one. >> for context, think about who it is, though, in says monster, josef fritzl's lawyer insists that her client is going to be
11:50 pm
released from high security prison after repeatedly showing remorse for his crimes as court considers moving him to normal jail important. the headlines kind of make it look like he's going to be released. yeah, to a normal jail, as you say, his age comes into it, but his prison really a punishment for a man who enjoyed being in a bunker. i don't know . the regional court don't know. the regional court of krems, got together to decide on whether they should undo this block of him being he should be moved to a normal prison. there was a block on it. it's going to be lifted. what do you actually have to do in life to be locked up for life? i mean, i get it. the lawyer says he's unlikely he poses no threat to society, i suppose. so he's 89. he'd struggle with the steps, but still, you've got to be punished for what you did. >> yeah, but there's high security isn't about being punished. it's about whether he presents a threat to society. and 89, he clearly doesn't. >> she's talking about this being a step on the pathway to being a step on the pathway to being released. so actually i agree , move to normal prison agree, move to normal prison because you're right. he's not he's not going to get out , is he's not going to get out, is he? you know, they put a cattle grid there. he wouldn't get through it. >> well obviously at this point he's in more danger himself than
11:51 pm
he's in more danger himself than he presents to society. the risk is that he would be killed. i mean, as it was in the high security prison. >> yeah, he's changed his name and they put it in the article. >> so that helps. yeah >> so that helps. yeah >> i just think it's ridiculous. when the mail editorialise and say, you know, the terrifying prospect of fritzl being released, you might find it sickening . you might find it sickening. you might find it immoral. it's not terrifying . immoral. it's not terrifying. >> yeah, but they probably wrote it in a hurry. didn't have time for a thesaurus . for a thesaurus. >> this really is terrifying. however, leo there takes a new take on monsters, inc. in the guardian. yeah, so a toddler in nonh guardian. yeah, so a toddler in north carolina told her mother, they say mom here, but i'm not saying that i'm scottish, that monsters were in her closet, but in fact, there were more than 50,000 democrats. >> no bees in the wall, after a visit by a pest control company and multiple beekeepers, a thermal camera finally revealed where the bees had gone to this massive hive they'd built in the inside the wall of her daughter's room. so they weren't the bees weren't coming into her daughter's room like in monsters, inc, but she could still hear these bees through
11:52 pm
the wall, which must've just. yeah. >> isn't that wasn't that the plot of the wasp factory , i plot of the wasp factory, i can't remember. >> oh, that was horrific. it was the lead , the larvae were the lead, the larvae were inside. there's a baby that had a deformed skull, so they had a fake , like, metal skull over, fake, like, metal skull over, over it. right. and the larvae, like, were inside the. yeah, yeah. like, were inside the. yeah, yeah . brain. yeah. brain. >> something very unseemly about that. >> yeah, yeah . >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> no, that was a horrible i hear about these wasps. >> that's where we're going to tie it up with that last minute. but we've run out of time and you don't get to do vampire facials. i'm sorry. shame, but maybe on the way home anyway, show is nearly over. let's take another quick look at wednesday's front pages. we have the daily mail, prostate scans that could cut deaths by 40, the guardian, 22 minutes of horror. boy killed in sword rampage . boy killed in sword rampage. same with the telegraph. school boy killed in daylight. sword rampage . the times immigration rampage. the times immigration levels fall amid visas crackdown. the ai levels fall amid visas crackdown. the a! news boy, 14,
