will continue to work for what we believe in. tenants rights , we believe in. tenants rights, supporting biodiversity, working for climate and nature and making scotland a fairer and more equal place. >> a moroccan asylum seeker has been found guilty of murdering a pensioner in an attack motivated by the conflict in gaza. >> ahmed halid stabbed 70 year old terence carney six times in hartlepool in what was intended as revenge for the israel—hamas conflict. he told police the attack, a week after the hamas attacks on israel, was for the people of gaza. he also said he wanted to kill more victims , as wanted to kill more victims, as al fayed was also found guilty of the attempted murder of his housemate, who he had attacked before the fatal stabbing of mr carney. he'll be sentenced on the 17th of may. two men have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a torso was found in a nature reserve. the body part was found wrapped in plastic by a passer by at kersal dale wetlands in salford. early

quoting shakespeare and, no . quoting shakespeare and, no. >> i did my job very, very well. my >> i did my job very, very well. my job was just basically to be shouted at by people who are angry at the interest rates that were rather extortionate. >> and now you can be shouted out by gender ideologues online. there we go. >> that's my weekend. anyway. let's have a look at those front pages. the daily mail is leading with thieves hit shops, a thousand times a day. shoplifting is through the roof. apparently. the telegraph rwanda threat is pouring migrants into ireland. the front cover of the times has m15 checks for academics to kerb threat from china , and the mirror is leading china, and the mirror is leading with save our cup replays . the with save our cup replays. the financial times says bp's £31 billion offer from anglo prompts backlash from a africa and investors and whatever that means. and the eye has world's first jab to stop. skin cancer bnngs first jab to stop. skin cancer brings for hope patients. and where's the guardian gone? why have they gone with josh? >> oh, the guardian has gone with. well, first of all, there's a little story here i just want to say about the pm urged to write off fines for

unpaid carers. this is a travesty. like how there's about basically about 150,000 unpaid carers who who earn over like evenin carers who who earn over like even in some cases, like £1 over this £151 a week, they're allowed to earn. yes. and now they're having to like repay tens of thousands of pounds. so the prime minister has been urged to just wipe it out quickly before we get into the situation, because these people are saving us, the country, billions of pounds a year by doing it. and we're encouraged by cameron and the big society and all of that. so i hope they sort that out. but yes, this is the big story of the day. yusuf in peril, as greens say, they will back no confidence motion. so this is a bunch of white people trying to put him out of work. is that what it is? this is just systemic white, white, white. >> it's just systemic racism. nick. is that right? as humza yousaf been hard done by, no, he hasn't, but although what's disturbing to me. >> so it's this bute house coalition agreement, right, with the greens, now he's gone back on it and he's got rid of them because their policies were so mad, even for the snp, that they

were they were alienating the electorate. yes. and what's disturbing to me is that actually, his they're saying that he's capitulated to socially and economic conservatives voices in the snp. so, so he sort of wasn't leftie enough for these people. that's what's disturbing to me, because you'd want him to go for his hate crime law or his white speech. that you've alluded to. he's actually going to go because of some sort of, you know, fallout with the even more mad greens. >> now, at this stage, though, in his leadership, can he really sustain this , you know, with the sustain this, you know, with the general election coming up, with labour likely to take a lot of the snp's seats, this coalition falling apart , isn't it falling apart, isn't it basically time over for humza? well, this could be argued to be actually good politics for him by breaking that agreement. >> it's kind of putting the blame on them. he's saying that that it was kind of it seems like it's like it's all their fault, all of this stupid mental stuff that they've that the road that they've gone down over the last few days. the hate bill. yeah. but it wasn't gender self id, he could sort of he's trying to sort of put it on them and 90,

to sort of put it on them and go, no, it was they made us do that though because he was what he's trying. >> he was justice secretary when the hate crime bill was was orchestrated, he was behind it. it says here that the catalyst to this was to do with, the snp abandoning their target to cut carbon emissions by 75% by 2030. the greens were angry about that, obviously, because it says it's in the name, right? >> don't want angry greens. >> don't want angry greens. >> you don't want angry greens, but and now the greens have basically ruled out any kind of, you know, working with yousaf on any legislation in the future. i think he's going to stand down. nick. >> yeah. although snp leaders have a history of sort of trying to cling on, don't they? they do. but you're right. i mean, it doesn't look good as you say. vote of no confidence. so close to the election. yeah. >> it's not binding. that's the thing that's different. >> yeah. but it's it doesn't look good. it's the same thing with, you know, when thatcher went technically she won. and everything, but it was too close. it didn't look good. if it looks as though there's no confidence in him, he won't be. >> yeah, i think i don't think he can survive this. and i think it's quite exciting that that scotland is going to leave this one party state situation very

soon. although that straight to labour which is well, i'm not saying that's good but you know, anyway let's move on now to the front of better. exactly well, let's move on to the front of friday's daily mail. nick what are they leading with? quite a different story. this. yeah. >> the mail have thieves hit shops a thousand times a day. this is like about the shoplifting epidemic. they're calling it quite reasonably, because it's 430 plus thousand offences in the last 12 months. it's up by more than the third. it's up by more than the third. it's the highest since current records began in march 2003, 2003. more commonly referred to as 2003. so and they're pointing out it's been effectively decriminalised. and i hate to say it again, but it's a narco tyranny. i say it every night now because that's what we live in, wherein the innocent, to punish the guilty, go free. that's the system we have now . that's the system we have now. thieves have noticed and they just investigate. >> are they? no one's investigating this kind of stuff. >> you're allowed to steal. >> you're allowed to steal. >> and the thing is, the shoplifting industry, for want of a better word, is massive. there's all these shoplifters. all of the prices have to go up to compensate because the stores can't do anything about it, costing the average person about £59 a year, right.

>> extra. so yeah, £2 billion being lost. and, the government, like anyone, wants to focus on the kind of burglaries or car theft or stabbings, even though they're saying that they're going down, but other people are going, no, you're just changing the way that you're measuring stuff. so actually it's going up. >> but is the solution just to do what they do in new york, which basically say they say, you know, basically you can steal up to $1,000 and it's not a crime. we won't bother going after you. like, could people have been going into the stores just pouring stuff into their baskets, knowing they're not going to be? but now you get security tags or you get like those encased things like toothbrushes, bread or whatever it is. >> so but our jails are full, so what are they? even if they did actually do something about it. >> so what? nick is the solution? because to be fair, it's very difficult to catch shoplifters particular. >> if they're good, you cut off their hand when they steal. >> maybe we go full saudi arabia. >> we have to. you have to go full singapore, full saudi arabia, life imprisonment for stealing, cutting off hands. then you only have to do it once. that's the thing. about twice. >> twice to get both hands.

>> twice to get both hands. but you know, usually one hand will do it. you know, imagine, you know, especially in the west with our software, you see one person nicks a toothbrush, loses a hand, you go, and we do it publicly. >> we chop the hand off in the pubuc >> we chop the hand off in the public square. yeah. >> so everyone can see it's a cathartic day out at the same time. yeah, it's good for the kids. >> sell tickets. interesting. interesting. yes, but i'm glad this channel is moving in the right direction. >> it's a new service for gb news subscribers that's going to be clipped up. >> by the way, and used in all you say that that means we're moving to the right. >> i say we're just taking on board saudi arabia's idea. that's quite a lefty idea, isn't it? to follow. >> it's a it's a cultural appropriation. >> oh, well there's that. i hadnt >> oh, well there's that. i hadn't thought of that. all right. okay, well, maybe we just chop people's hands off in private. okay. we're going to move on now to the daily mail, nick, have you got. oh, no, not the daily mail. sorry. the telegraph. telegraph. josh, you got this, rwanda threat is pounng got this, rwanda threat is pouring migrants into ireland. so this is sort of. is it wrong to be funny that it's funny? i don't know. >> look, if you find, why don't you try and make the joke? and if it's wildly, it's just, you know, there's something.

>> there's something. yeah. >> there's something. yeah. >> it's inappropriate. i'll tell you. >> it's not that it's inappropriate. it's just that there's something ironic here because as, ireland is arguably a bit wokester than the uk certainly is. and so what's happening is that the threat of rwanda, it has pushed in, 80% of the recent asylum seekers have crossed from the uk basically. >> well, probably northern irish border. >> right. yeah. and looking like that, they're doing so because of fear of the rwanda scheme. yes. so it's sort of it's some sort of proof of concept arguably for rwanda. and what you're going to then see is countries that are criticising the uk's. and i'm not saying that we are necessarily taking the right path, but certainly other countries are going no, we shouldn't be doing this. yes. then they're going to get they're going to have this issue and then they're going to be like, oh, maybe that's not so bad. >> yeah. and of course, this crossing of the border at the north, i mean, that's what everyone said when it came to the eu. people were worried about this idea of having a soft border there. >> it's sort of amusing, unintended consequence. but they need their own rwanda bill.

that's the obvious answer, isn't it? everyone's gonna have to have their own. >> not going to happen, though, is it? i mean, the government, the dublin set, i mean, they're all, you know, they don't want to tackle this problem. they don't think it is a problem. they'd rather you look the other way. >> well there's huge pressure when you watch those videos on on twitter of irish people getting sick of the situation. so there's almost even more pressure than in this country. >> well, there is, because of the weight, the degree of migration. >> it's 140,000 immigrants arrived in ireland in the year up to 23. that. so that's tripled the total population because the population is much smaller. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> it's only 40,000 irish people. not now. there's 140,000. is that right? >> i don't know, maths might be slightly off there. >> josh, we're going to finish this section with the front of friday's times. nick what have they got. >> yeah they've got m15 checks for academics to kerb threat from china. we've talked about this before but this is oliver dowden, deputy pm, and he's met the vice chancellors of 24 leading universities, including oxford and cambridge , where you oxford and cambridge, where you probably went and i, i just had some weird humour to the story, but i went with a weird insult even.i but i went with a weird insult even. i know you went there as

well, but anyway, the director of m15's got involved. they've taken a day off, listing their pronouns and that kind of thing, and they've decided to actually do some m15 work and they're all worried about it, and they're just saying we need to get more realistic about the threat from china infiltrating our universities. >> well, i mean, it's very real. you know, we've had complaints before about chinese investment in american universities. british universities, where the government, the chinese government, the chinese government is actually saying, oh, you can't teach that because that's against our values and they're going along with it because of the money. >> we're not talking here necessarily about ideological influence. we're literally talking about stealing. yes. so, and someone put a thread up recently up which was compared weapons in china. and like you know, fighter jets and you see the american version and then you see the chinese version and it's like exactly the same. and it's like exactly the same. and it's obviously pilfered and they've left the flag on it. >> they've left the wrong flag on. >> there's also a funny story about a school that's been investigated in, in manchester, which is basically like a conspiracy theory school, allegedly. that's what it's saying here. but one of the theories that they're teaching is your favourite theory about eating cockroaches . eating cockroaches. >> well, they're going to make

us eat the bug. >> oh, eating their teaching that in school you'll eat the bugs >> so i'm just saying you could get a little job, a little side job as a teacher. louis could come in. >> that's explicit policy. repeated adverts makers do it with nicole kidman and robert downey junior going. >> bugs. maybe there could be a secondary job there for you. >> they failed to get it across the line. but it's not conspiracy. >> it's just for me. i conspiracy. >> it'sjust for me. i mean i'm vegetarian. it wouldn't happen. all right. that's it for part one. but coming up we're going to be discussing harvey weinstein's court case being overturned. macron criticising rishi and how labour is now more popular with gb news viewers than the tories.

welcome back to headliners. it's your first look at friday's newspapers. i'm andrew doyle and contractually obliged to join me. are josh howie and nick dixon. otherwise, we wouldn't have them anywhere near the studio . we're going to begin studio. we're going to begin with the times now. harvey weinstein's lawyers hailed this a great day for america. is that correct , josh, no, not really.

correct, josh, no, not really. they've got an interesting framing of this here. yeah. harvey weinstein's lawyer said great day for america after his rape conviction was overturned. now he's not out of jail. he's also been, convicted for another rape in california. but what they're saying is, because dunng they're saying is, because during the trial they bought in, this has been argued, extraneous information about him being a bad person . yes. then that meant bad person. yes. then that meant that he was judged more on that rather than the actual rape allegation. >> so this is an error from the original trial judge? yes. >> so they're now going to be and now the new york state is saying they are going to retrial it, there. so but the judge, not the judge, the, weinstein's lawyer came out and said, this is a great day because i don't care who the defendant is, if they're a former president of they're a former president of the united states or a hollywood producer, they're going to get off, is the gist. >> i mean , the gist is everyone >> i mean, the gist is everyone is entitled to a fair trial. >> that's, i suppose , but >> that's, i suppose, but normally you would sort of go, it doesn't matter if you're a poor guy with nothing to sort of frame it like that. >> it doesn't matter if you're

super powerful, you're going to get the law will work in your favour. it's a what are your thoughts? >> well, you missed the exact phrase. his own attorney said , phrase. his own attorney said, it doesn't matter if you're a former president of united states or the most storeyed hollywood producer of our generation. i love that he referred to his own client like that. yeah, i mean, weinstein's got a lot to answer for because because of this one person. like everyone around the world, all men were suddenly like evil, remember? because. because, i mean, because there was quite a legitimate complaint here. but then he just got so out of control with the metoo movement. just just heterosexual men, wasn't it? you'd be insulted in like, a green room in preston because harvey weinstein did something, you know, ten years ago in hollywood. >> yeah, he became like the figurehead of this. >> it's kind of like the dei movement took off off the back of the george floyd murder. it was a massive overreaction. so so, you know, he's got a lot to answer for in that case. but yeah, you shouldn't have trial by media. if you've done something wrong, you should be punished. but it shouldn't be this trial by media. >> is it possible to have a retrial? everyone knows about this trial. how would they get the jury? i mean, i don't i mean, the thing is, rape is notoriously difficult to prove anyway, because. >> because most rapes do happen between people who know each other rather than what you.

>> so a lot of it comes down to just the jury deciding who's who's telling, telling the truth. right? which is that's almost impossible. >> yeah. which is probably why they needed to sort of go, hey, look at all this other bad stuff. >> so but that's what messed up the trial. >> that's what messed up the trial. and the way that they're sort of saying they're called witnesses who allegations were not related to the charges at hand. yeah. it's like, well, i think that there was definitely things that were related also to the charges at hand, i.e. him overstepping himself sexually in people's presences and whatnot. it is a difficult one. >> nick. >> nick. >> yeah, and as you say, it is very hard to get rape convictions and i'm, you know, so i'm not and i'm not saying weinstein is a great guy either, but i'm just saying it should be fair and not based on previous reputation. >> okay. well, this now from the independent french president, emmanuel macron has denounced rishi sunak plans to send asylum seekers to rwanda. what a surprise, josh. i mean , but surprise, josh. i mean, but surely the french are the ones who are the most culpable for all of this, right? >> yeah, so they don't want to, but i think he's actually helping out. so look the tories yeah. macron criticises sunak rwanda plan as a politics of cynicism and betrayal of european values, which is, well ,

european values, which is, well, exactly. but also that's just going to play into sunak. so i'm wondering if sunak said, could you please make the statement? because as soon as the french come out, as soon as macron says, you british people, even the most die hard, sort of far lefty, let everybody come over, you know. >> hey, france, stop telling us what to do. get these people on a plane. >> so i think it's i think that's that's my conspiracy. >> nick, can you explain to me why is rishi sunak just persisting with this as the thing? >> this is his swan song. he's going out on the rwanda thing. why? why this so much? >> it's a kind of sunk cost fallacy thing, isn't it? he's. he's gotten this far with it, so now he has to finish it. he's made it one of his pledges. >> there's a pride thing. >> there's a pride thing. >> well, he's made well, it's just that now if he would, he would look terrible if he if he backed down, he's made it one of his flagship policies, if not his flagship policies, if not his one flagship policy. i know i've said that's bizarre because it's such a hard policy to get through, and it doesn't really register with voters as far as know. >> it doesn't, does it? >> it doesn't, does it? >> but then again, neither does the smoking ban or all that stuff about a—levels as well, isn't it? he's not been

politically astute. it's one of the big problems with rishi. >> yeah. why is this i don't get i'm on my way out. i'm just going to make every kid take maths, and i'm going to make sure that no one can smoke. that's the legacy, is it? yes. >> it's just not great at politics. but, which is a problem for a prime minister, as josh says, doesn't mean macron can be criticising it. yeah, how dare you french? but also when he says it's cynical, i don't really get that ineffective. maybe i don't see. >> also, he says we're creating a geopolitics of cynicism, or we are creating a geopolitics of cynicism. >> i knew you were going to do the accent, but my you can't do accents. >> josh, i thought that was actual footage from macron, though. >> the geopolitics of it sounds like a lower low. but but but the point is we have geopolitics. >> i don't first of all, i don't even know what geopolitics of cynicism is, but i know we've already got it. whatever it is, we've got it. we've got geopolitics of cynicism, surely harry potter, but harry potter and the geopolitics of cynicism. >> the thing is, it's all about sovereignty. >> andrew doyle fanfiction. yeah because j.k. rowling retweeted you. look at you getting all confident . confident. >> oh goodness, nick, send them back to france. not back to france, but to just france, back to france. because yeah, it's the whole point is about

sovereignty and us controlling our borders. so why do we care what france says? we got out of the eu. >> we certainly shouldn't care what macron says. >> your european values. >> your european values. >> no more your accents. josh. right we're going to move on now to this one. this is the telegraph on friday a new poll. and i can't quite believe this. this is revealed that labour is more popular with viewers of gb news than the tories. yes. >> another shocking low for the tories. but it does contradict the idea that this is a right wing channel. this is a left wing channel. this is a left wing channel, it's a left wing channel. i've always said laboun channel. i've always said labour, more popular with gb news viewers than tories, and it's jl partners surveyed 518 current and recent viewers of the channel. q all sorts of jokes on twitter then about the number, but basically there was an 11 point cushion over the tories . the labour had, but it tories. the labour had, but it depended it was it was lower with current viewers, but it was the gap was higher with recent viewers. so i don't quite understand. so tories were doing a bit better with current viewers. not quite sure what the significance of that is, but the point is it was pretty close. labour were winning and that does contradict the idea that that we're a right wing channel and things like that. the only

difference was on immigration. there was more trust in the tories and labour, who are obviously going to be absolutely nastiest on that. >> does it mean that or does it mean that the tories have let people down so badly that people are going to go to the labour instead? >> it does mean that you're right. and of course, tories aren't right wing in any way ehhen aren't right wing in any way either. so they're just two left wing parties. but i am still surprised because starmer is so awful and he's going to bring in euthanasia. >> can i just give you my take on this? >> yes, if you must. i am so good at my job that i have bought over the gb news solely by myself. >> yes, the gb news viewers, to my way of thinking. >> your left leaning. >> your left leaning. >> that's what. look, guys. thank you. thank you so much. it's actually believing in me. and what i think about. >> you've become increasingly right wing since being on the channel. you've been over like, then they've gone. i don't disagree with the pudding. stick with the left. >> the proof is in the pudding. >> the proof is in the pudding. >> you become more right wing as you get older. >> this is no one's fault. >> this is no one's fault. >> by using a red tie, it doesn't mean that you're still socialist. >> i wore this tonight in honour of people. the gb news viewers coming along on this journey. okay, josh howie journey.

>> let's move on. okay. and for all you lefties out there, we know there's a lot we're going to stick with the telegraph just to stick with the telegraph just to annoy you. and presidents could be immune from prosecution. josh, what does this mean? >> yeah, even if assassinating rival trump's lawyers argue so , rival trump's lawyers argue so, there are two court cases going at the moment with trump, one is in new york about the paying this hush money. the other one is gone to the us supreme court, where they're basically the argument is that the gist of it is they're going it doesn't matter that trump, whether he did this , the hush money thing. did this, the hush money thing. no, no, not the hush money that he sort of undermined the election. yes. that's basically he could do whatever he wants. >> so he's the president because he's the president. >> so they're trying to sort of say, look, he could they're almost saying that, that, that we should be grateful that he didn't assassinate biden. >> yeah. nick can i just clarify on this? but so ketanji brown jackson, who was obviously one of the democrat appointees on the supreme court, she said, you know that you can't do this because if you say there's presidential immunity across the board, you're turning the oval office into a centre of

criminality, even though you might disagree with them on many things. isn't that that's true, isn't it? yeah. >> well, my biggest worry is the dems realise this so they can start assassinating people you know, they, like trump will just say you'd do it as a joke, but they'd actually probably do it. but, satirical content there of course. but, yeah. but as, the judge alito here points out, using a navy seal team to assassinate a rival was implausible. well, that's not really quite strong enough, is it? you want it to be absolutely ruled out, really, don't you? but yeah. he says he says it would never actually come up and wouldn't happen. >> isn't it strange that these conversations are even being had in the democrats like to raise all these weird points, don't they, to try and get get the idea in people's heads that trump is going to be a dictator and he's going to kill people. >> though trump did once famously say he could shoot someone in the street and people would still love him, he did say that. >> and he also said he wanted to be dictator for a day, didn't he? >> yeah, and that'd be great. >> yeah, and that'd be great. >> so it's not long enough. i mean, it's just it's just very strange that they're even having these conversations. i think. >> well, that's that's what the politics in america has been pushed towards. yeah but it is slightly terrifying because if

he does come back, it would be there'd be a lot of vengeance, a lot of anger. i think he's definitely coming under the scope of official acts. >> it's called because they might need to use it, i suppose, against a foreign government or something. >> i thought the whole point of the american political system having a different branch of the executive and the judiciary and the separate. yeah, it's separate so that you don't get this kind of, you know, exploitation. we'll see. obviously not. okay. well, look, that's part two done. but do come back because we're going to be discussing couples having children becoming culturally unusual. children becoming culturally unusual . and the uk's first ever unusual. and the uk's first ever memorial to lgbt armed forces. you won't want to

welcome back to headliners. it's your first look at friday's newspapers. we're going to kick off with the daily mail. now dutch woman suffering from depression. what's going on here, nick? this is actually really depressing. >> it's horrible. so it's physically healthy. dutch woman hopes to become the latest person in the country to end her life by euthanasia. on her 34th birthday, and she's named

yolanda fun. ironically, in a sort of grim doom about that for another two minutes. >> it's just horrible, isn't it? i mean, come on. sorry. >> well, this is a big issue for me because people don't realise this is coming to britain as well. so she she suffers from an eating disorder, depression, autism and mild learning difficulties. and she's saying her life's you know, not worth living. so she wants to die. but this is so sad. but it's coming to britain. starmer wants to bnngin to britain. starmer wants to bring in assisted dying. and i've said this before, but we've seen it in canada . a woman 41 seen it in canada. a woman 41 years old, she said she had fibromyalgia. she wanted to die. it turns out she was just poor. she told friends privately. she was euthanized as was a young autistic man who was being bullied. and we heard the other day in scotland, it may become legal for 16 year olds with anorexia to receive assisted dying under this new bill. if it goes through, this is the kind of thing you'll be looking at. people think, oh, it's, you know, it's for old people. i understand people suffer a lot and people get emotional and say, we don't want that to happen, which i totally understand, but it's going to be so bad. canada killed 13,500 people in 2022 with euthanasia. this is what's coming for canada. >> the canadian government were advertising it like it's a

service we can offer you, you know, have you thought about killing yourself? you know, people they've been pressurising and they think, right. i understand that there is a debate to be had about people who are very, very old, in terrible pain, complete lack of dignity. i don't know where i stand on this actually, but there is a debate to be had and a legitimate one. but we're talking about a perfectly healthy young individual who has been for whatever reason, but their mental health has now become synonymous with physical health. >> or there's been a line crossed where the two are seen. no, they're not the same. but but this is what has happened over the last few years, which also have seen in this country in terms of, people on benefits, but a lot of them just for mental. but we also know that everyone who got over their mental health issues knows that it can pass well in the midst of it. you don't realise the argument is that it won't pass. and there's a crazy quote from this person's psychiatrist that told her said, there's nothing more we can do for you. it's never going to get any better. what? for me, it would be like just struck that that psychiatrist off the register, like he should or she should not be working , ever be

like he should or she should not be working, ever be said. but, also, it's 5.1% of all deaths in the country are from euthanasia. now in, denmark. and they're saying that it could even be more than that because some of them are unreported. >> if it's going to be that, nick. and if starmer wants to bnng nick. and if starmer wants to bring it back, does it do you think he wants that kind of scenario though? >> i think i think that scenario is inevitable. people say we'd have safeguarding. why would we have safeguarding. why would we have safeguarding? why are we different to these countries? okay, we're not quite as absurdly liberal or left as canada, perhaps not as holland, but we're not far off. we have nothing in our secular materialist culture to say, no, no, we'll stop at this line, whereas there isn't a line. >> right? very sad. okay we're going to move on to the times now. story about venice. it's always fun. yeah. >> protests of venice, it becomes the first city to charge a tourist entry fee. so there, from today, you have to pay $5, ,5 to get in and you get a qr code. you go through gates code. you go through the gates because they've been sort of inundated. the city's over. >> it's over. »- >> it's over. >> it's over. yeah. >> it's over. yeah. overthinking but actually the interesting thing is that it's not really for scum like us. it's for or

speaking personally , not you. speaking personally, not you. obviously, you're cultured and you've probably been there a bunch of times, right? but it's actually about me. obviously i've not been, but, it's for really locals, the italians. and that's where the argument gets a little bit more squiffy, because i don't mind paying ,5 to get into this city that i haven't contributed to. but arguably hauans contributed to. but arguably italians do pay their taxes . italians do pay their taxes. some of them will go towards venice and its upkeep. so it's almost like they've already paid. but this is who it's really aimed at. and it's coming in on certain days where hauans in on certain days where italians will go and see the pope if he's doing something or, you know, something . you know, something. >> the pope in venice. >> the pope in venice. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> one day a year. >> one day a year. >> right. i mean, but, nick, you know, in a way it is overcrowded. it's, you know, they've got to do something, i suppose. is this, like the equivalent of the congestion charge? just clear out some people. >> well, i wonder if there's a general movement against tourism. we saw the other day tenerife was protesting because they don't want tourists. and we see now venice . i think this see now venice. i think this might be a general move. if you look at, you know, the climate madness on the left and then you

look at concerns about immigration on the right, i sort of feel like people don't want people and cost of living, cost of travel. i feel like maybe tourism won't become a thing of the past, but might reduce bit. >> isn't tourism places depend on it for their economy, you know. yeah, that's the paradox. >> i mean, tenerife needs tourism, but they don't really want the tourists. but we have that up in the lakes. it's the same . you know, we don't really same. you know, we don't really like the off comers, but we do need the money. so. >> but does tenerife have anything else but tourism. >> they have a rich manufacturing industry. >> oh do they know exactly. okay, let's move to on the telegraph now. and, this is an odd one about having children. now, we should go to our resident expert on that, shouldn't we? >> is nick anneliese coming to me? perfect so, couples having. i actually am a bit of an expert on this topic, so couples having children purely academically, couples having children could become culturally unusual, warns tory mp. and it's miriam cates who has talked about this kind of thing. she's talking about it at ark, actually alliance for responsible citizenship, jordan peterson's thing. i went to an event last year, but she's talking about how we could even end up in a situation where it's culturally unusual to have children, but we have to start

talking about the solutions to the birth rate issue. so it's well known the birth rates are catastrophically really low at the moment. absolutely. it's 1.49. in britain. it's terribly low. it needs to be more like two. speak for yourself. what's that? five well, that's it, but actually 5.0, baby. but if you look at the birth rate average of this panel it's 1.67 because of this panel it's1.67 because i checked. so it's still low. you actually calculated that. i calculated because i knew that would come up. >> you don't know how many illegitimate children i have. nick. you didn't even bother to research. >> i didn't i sort of, sort of prejudicially assumed that you didn't have any, but but, but yeah, josh has about 20. >> andrew experimented in his youth. >> i counted your children, but i've got minus ones , so. all i've got minus ones, so. all right. the point is, it is a massive issue. it's the birth rate. and for a long time, our sort of leaders were obsessed with malthus and malthusianism. and they thought we had too high a population . it's actually a population. it's actually catastrophically low. doing very well in israel, doing well in a few places, but terribly low in korea, japan, etc. england italy is very low. >> but china, i mean, they had their one child policy. >> it's actually getting low in china. yeah, because partly because of the catastrophic one child policy. so it's low almost everywhere. and the idea and

miriam cates pointing out here that immigration doesn't completely work . that's only completely work. that's only part of it. and actually immigration is a temporary fix because immigrants get old as well. they they need to be looked after and got the dependency issue. they also they start to have fewer kids, longer in the country as well, or a wealthy country. >> but isn't it the case that all wealthy countries end up experiencing this problem? they do, and no one's solved it, but at least she's saying we need to start looking at how to solve it, because immigration is a temporary fix, and people get squeamish when you talk about solving it. >> i was at that debate. i think i've said before with david aaronovitch and matt goodwin and david horovitz was going, oh, he wants you to have more children. like it was a kind of a weird fetish on on matt's part, but it's like we need to start seriously talking about it because it's almost the biggest issue i face. >> josh, you've done your bit. i have done my no. >> so you don't have to worry about and i did your bit did you. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean i've done, you know, my, my two, two of mine can cover your. >> oh i see what you mean. it sounded a bit more sinister than that. >> didn't, didn't say your name or anything. >> so tell me, josh. yeah >> so tell me, josh. yeah >> no, it is a problem. there's

a in the future. the argument is that we're going to be like begging at the moment. we're trying to keep migrants. oh my god, in the future, ideas that we're going to be begging migrants to be coming over to keep going, this economic ponzi scheme that we find ourselves in, and in terms of her saying that that's not the solution , that that's not the solution, then it's not necessarily true, but because she's saying, oh, well , but because she's saying, oh, well, countries are going to want their own youth, but it's like, that's not that doesn't mean they're necessarily just because they they're going to lose out. it doesn't mean we would lose out. but i think the issue, the solution is to twofold. number one is make it easier for families in terms of tax tax breaks. tax breaks for me specifically would be good. also i just want to float this alcopops , bring them back. alcopops, bring them back. >> yes. >> yes. >> teenage pregnancies will be through the roof. you're welcome. >> nick, that's not a bad idea. >> nick, that's not a bad idea. >> you also have to get rid of contraception as well. when or it's not banned. >> and get rid of the word means and get rid of abortion. >> but you're right as well.

yeah, competition for immigrants is another thing that's actually going to happen as well. presumably >> so yeah. okay. well let's move on to the guardian now. and gays in the military. >> josh uk first ever memorial to lgbt armed forces personnel to lgbt armed forces personnel to be built. so this is called fighting with pride. so it's a sort of a little pun there. yeah. yeah. you know, and it's going to be built in staffordshire, they've got a for grant 350 grand. it's an interesting one because, whether homosexuality is it's sort of an identity in terms of like, you know , statues for like, gurkhas know, statues for like, gurkhas or something. yeah. you know what i mean ? so it's whether what i mean? so it's whether homosexuality in itself is like this separate identity. but, i don't think it is that, though i think the point of this really is that so many gay people served in the military when it was illegal to do so, and faced all sorts of consequences as a result. >> so it's a kind of way to acknowledge that the navy, i think the navy was all gay anyway, so i think you had to be gay to join the navy. but but, you know, this is this is, i think that's the idea behind it. but i understand your point that

i don't, you know, because they've always been gay people in the military, if they're just soldiers going back to greek times, wasn't it like they deliberately encouraged that? >> because then they fought harder? >> yeah. there was a whole army of gay couples, the idea being that one of them, if they'd have sex with the other one while they were fighting. no. the idea being that if one of them died, the other one would fight twice as hard. >> twice. this is the theban idea, the hardest. >> i'm sorry about him . >> i'm sorry about him. >> i'm sorry about him. >> it's homophobic. the hardest, toughest soldiers in that army were with the gays. >> yeah, my. a slight issue with the title fighting with pride. sounds kind of like you're punching a gay at a march, doesn't it? i mean, fighting it sounds fascistic. >> it sounds like you're against pride. >> you know. pride. the march. right? >> i'm familiar. >> i'm familiar. >> yeah, you know it, you don't necessarily go, but i'm not saying that. but also, these recommended an apology from the preamp. do we really need more apologies for things? >> there has been an apology . >> there has been an apology. that's what i didn't understand. like they did apologise last yean like they did apologise last year, but really, it seems like apologies. they're saying they want 50 million for reparations for because there were homosexuals who lost out on

careers. who, who? yeah, but that's what i mean. yeah so this seems to be a sort of, opening salvo to get that money for them. they're saying we're going to do this, i think i think this is to call attention in an interesting way. >> if individuals have actually lost people who are still alive. i'm not talking about reparations. in the past, people are still alive who have lost out financially because of stupid laws that should never have been in place. there is a case there. >> yeah. and veterans in general are often treated very badly, i want to say so. >> fair enough. okay. we're going to finish this section with the telegraph. excuse me. aberdeen has defended its decision to drop the vowels . decision to drop the vowels. what's this about? yes. >> dropping vowels hasn't done us any harm. insist aberdeen. >> so you pronounce it aberdeen. >> so you pronounce it aberdeen. >> i know you do. i know, but aberdeen. >> but it looks like aberdeen. >> but it looks like aberdeen. >> aberdeen . yeah, it's aberdeen. >> and who is aberdeen? >> and who is aberdeen? >> it's a investment company. an asset manager. right. and they're a ftse 250 company. and they're a ftse 250 company. and they're saying they're being bullied . it's corporate bullying bullied. it's corporate bullying because they keep getting told off about their rubbish name and they're sort of complaining actually. ironically the missing

vowels spell e and that's what they're doing. they're sort of moaning about how would you do this with an individual? but apparently with companies it's fine. and so they're annoyed that they're getting bullied for their ridiculous. >> i mean, is it i mean, you remember when weight watchers became ww and no one really knew what it meant? >> did it? i didn't even know that wonder woman. i remember when wwf became wwe. that's still annoys me. >> you know the rest. exactly. you've got to be careful with this stuff. and aberdeen, it looks it looks daft. aberdeen. yeah, but we shouldn't mock it because they're getting very sensitive about the mockery now. >> well it's insane that this is the first time i've seen someone sort of complain. like microaggressions towards a corporation. he's going like, as you were saying, that quote there. but apparently with companies it's different. there. but apparently with companies it's different . yes. companies it's different. yes. it's different. it's a company. yeah, of course it's different . yeah, of course it's different. but they're getting upset because stupid aberdeen people are irritable bowel syndrome. >> i know, and they're calling their chief executive, stephen bird . and this whole story, by bird. and this whole story, by the way, came from sir douglas flint. the splint. it was flint. sorry. sorry, douglas. >> well, look, we don't want to hurt anyone's feeling. we don't want to hurt the feelings of big, massive companies as they come in in five, fire 500 people

and then suddenly give themselves a big pay rises. >> yeah, well, it is. >> it's getting marketing , >> it's getting marketing, though, isn't it? it's kind of working for publicity. we're talking about it. >> okay. we are. >> okay. we are. >> we are indeed all those labour voters out there. well done guys . done guys. >> well look, that's part three germ. please do stay tuned. we're going to be talking about sam smith whoever they is headlining the bbc proms and how scientists want to grow vegetables using human urine. stay tuned

welcome back to headliners your first look at friday's newspapers. we're going to begin now with the telegraph and sam smith at the proms. >> yes, sam smith, the headline prom, but bbc insists the show will be appropriate , this is will be appropriate, this is them sort of making the proms a little bit more popular. >> and they've got this special sort of, they say appropriate because sam smith is known for doing all these sexually explicit things in the past. >> and with the grammys, there was a bit of hoo ha about it.

yeah, that's all good for me. what's interesting about this article is this is from the telegraph. is are they going to refer to him? he's a him. he's a bloke as they them. and how are they going to avoid it. because he identifies as non—binary. >> but in this article they say, well no they don't they, they refer to him just constantly as smith basically . smith basically. >> but someone in here, sam jackson, director of radio three, says sam smith and their music . so three, says sam smith and their music. so sam, old sam three, says sam smith and their music . so sam, old sam jackson, music. so sam, old sam jackson, director of radio three, is still going with the non—binary ridiculous. they them this the article itself. >> there's not a single a pronoun is it? >> it's quite funny actually. the telegraph go further than josh has said. they go because i've recorded them all. they go. the pop star, the grammy winning singer, the singer, the singer, smith. so they do everything they can to just avoid. yeah. >> it's hilarious. absolute cowardice. it is better than using it though, isn't it? >> it's better than using it. is it the mailing? people just use the pronoun okay i do, that's true. >> they should just say he they them is not real. >> they should say he. do you mean sam smith should say he they they the telegraph.

>> the plural. that is the telegraph. yeah. but journalists should say. >> yeah, but now i thought you were saying sam smith because these are they. it's very this is the problem. it's very confusing. it actually creates. have you ever tried reading an article which continually refers to sam smith as a by the time you're halfway through? it doesn't make any sense. you don't know who he's usually about a third in. >> they mess it up themselves. they mess it up. they do that every time. they suddenly go back to he. >> but should he play the proms? nick, this is the big thing. because isn't the proms meant to be predominantly classical music, or am i just out of touch? >> absolutely not. he should not play >> absolutely not. he should not play the proms. no no. >> but i mean, nor should they, nor should them. should them be playing. no, i don't mind them. >> one should. >> one should. >> but but josh is serious point because when the proms started and the whole point was to try and the whole point was to try and make classical music more popular and to sort of bring people along, make it less popular again, right? yeah. but isn't that the point of bringing someone like sam smith's to play? >> he's a good singer. he's an artist. maybe he's going to do something really interesting here, some kind of hybrid and, he's. which would be great. so brilliant. do it. maybe not that, though. >> i mean, that's the thing. >> i mean, that's the thing. >> no, he's dressed like a

cello, but you can't rely on him not to show up dressed like that. >> that's the thing. >> that's the thing. >> no, but can you imagine? >> no, but can you imagine? >> you know, rule britannia. >> you know, rule britannia. >> after that, it has to be tasteful. that's the whole point, is that he's going to do something tasteful. he says them, them, says he they they say them. they says they is saying like a like learning french. let's move on to the independent. this is a cambridge university story and cleaners. and by the way, it's a nick you've got, you know cleaners in cambridge. they're called they're called scouts. no, they're called scouts. no, they're called scouts. no, they're called bedders at cambridge. at oxford they were called scouts. >> well, see, that's the kind of information i'll never know being, you know, now, went to a bad university, but but they actually are scouts. according to this article, yes, it's cambridge university college hiring new cleaners after messy room photos sparked student fury. >> fury andrew because they were slammed these students for their cleanliness levels in a mass email. but then they said it was a mass invasion of privacy because there was their horrible rooms. >> yeah, but they posted photographs of students rooms. that's outrageous. that is outrageous. you know, you can't .

outrageous. you know, you can't. they were shaming. and of course, a student's room is going to be messy. but basically the cleaners or the bedders or whatever we're saying, you know, look how look what i have to deal with. >> one of them had an infestation of slugs. they were told just to open a window. right. work. now that's more slugs in, doesn't it? >> i tell you what the scouts at oxford used to used to sort of burst in over morning, you know, turn the key and burst in very quickly. they were always spies. >> and i can't believe you had cleaners. i well, i cleaned up like. >> i can't believe you went to university. >> i never had a i can't believe that. i know there was no cleaners. one of the things you had, we just cleaned the stuff. >> but you did it yourself. yeah. why don't. >> the cleaner is partially like you get these massive industrial . like the one in newcastle is based on an old prison and you do get a cleaner, but it doesn't mean it's posh. it means they're just cramming in. >> maybe there was a communal areas, but there was no cleaners in your room. no cleaner ever came into your room. you kept your room clean. i wanted to meet the lady, the elite. that 5.0. >> i knew someone who was having an affair with one of the cleaners. so they. they offered all sorts of services. wow. anyway, that's what it takes.

let's move on now to the daily mail. scientists urging people to recycle their, you know , josh. >> oh, gosh. yeah. scientists want to grow vegetables using human urine , and this is what human urine, and this is what humanity has been doing for millions of years. i imagine it's got it's got nitrogen in it, and, great. >> but it's fertilising, right? >> but it's fertilising, right? >> fertiliser. it's really good stuff. and also it goes into the ocean and it creates algae. so it's bad to do it that way. so it's bad to do it that way. so it's really it's a win win. so and we could sell it instead of making artificial fertiliser. this stuff is the natural organic stuff. and we should we should be doing this. >> so nick is this one of these cyborgs things. is this like what is it. >> is that what's going on here? i mean, look at this sentence. adults flush 132 gallons of urine on average every year, which could be converted into an odourless, cost effective fertiliser. it could, but should it? that's the question. and then they also say think about all the fertiliser we're missing out on now. no, i refuse to think about that. but they're obsessed with with urine, andrew. and they say that this all ended with the advent of the

sewage system. that was a good thing. that was a good thing. let's not let's not go back. >> we might have lost. we might have lost out. >> well, so what is the benefit? is it just about money? is that what's going on here? >> they want you to eat the urine. >> i don't want you to eat zero urine and be happy. they want you to grow vegetables with the urine. >> you will own nothing and you will eat the urine. >> i've got loads of urine and i'm willing to donate it for free. >> i mean, ijust think free. >> i mean, i just think it could be that this is just advancing technology and it's actually a sensible use of otherwise wasteful resources. maybe that's the case, or maybe there's something else going on here. >> i think it's great. there's a method here you want to add nine parts water viewers to your urine, and then do on the vegetables. give us a call, join gb news members and i'll eat your courgettes with your urine. >> joseph. as he does it, he's got so many children. he's poor. he has to recycle his urine. but it says by the way, when they put it through the processes they have to do, there's a 99% drop in antibiotic resistant genes. what about that 1? yeah. where's that going? >> it's a very good question, nick. we don't have time to answer it right now. we're going to leave you hanging on that.

that's all we got time for. but let's have another quick look at the front pages. on friday, the daily mail is running with thieves hit shops a thousand times a day. the telegraph has rwanda threat is pouring migrants into ireland and the times m15 checks for academics to kerb threats from china. the mirror is running with save our cup replays . the ft is something cup replays. the ft is something about bhp, which i don't understand . the ai is leading understand. the ai is leading with world's first jab to stop skin cancer brings hope for patients. those were your front pages for friday. that's all we've got time for. i'd like to thank my wonderful and rather charming guests josh howie and nick dixon. we're back tomorrow. of course, when i'll return with josh and leo kearse. and if you're watching the 5 am, repeat right now, please don't go anywhere because now it is time for breakfast. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> good evening. here's your

latest gb news weather forecast brought to you by the met office. it's going to be another rather chilly night for many of us, and there will be some showers around and more showers to come as we go through tomorrow. due to an area of low pressure just out in the north sea, bringing a showery theme to many places. some further showery rain through this evening and overnight across southern parts. and here it is going to stay pretty cloudy keeping temperatures up elsewhere. there will be some clearer skies further north, albeit with a few showers around across some northern and eastern coastal parts. perhaps the odd wintry one over the higher ground of scotland, where we see the skies clear. we are going to see temperatures dropping so they will fall a few degrees below freezing in some rural spots. a touch of frost for some of us first thing tomorrow morning. otherwise, as we go through tomorrow, staying pretty cloudy across some far southern areas and watch out for some heavy, perhaps even torrential downpours across parts of the southwest into the afternoon. elsewhere the showers across the far north and east will become more widespread, feeding inland, so a greater chance that many of us will catch one into the

afternoon temperatures staying a little bit on the low side. not feeling too bad in the sunshine, otherwise a bit cool for the time of year into saturday and there will be some showery rain feeding its way northwards across parts of england and wales. could be a little bit heavy at times. also, a scattering of showers for northern and western parts of scotland and northern ireland. but in between these two areas staying largely dry. there may even be some sunshine at times. sunday brings some heavy, persistent rain to some eastern southeastern parts, but temperatures are gradually climbing by by a brighter outlook, with boxt solar sperm . outlook, with boxt solar sperm. >> answers of weather on

gb news. >> good evening. as a moroccan asylum seeker is convicted of murder, i asked the question. why does nobody want to talk

about these things? labour. plaid to renationalise the railways. they put out a big, bold statement today. the funny thing is, 70% of the public at this moment in time seem to agree with them. and on talking pines, i'm joined by tim shipman. tim, who is political editor of the sunday times, author of many political books. i'll ask him how the conservative party recovered from brexit or have they? but before all of that, let's get the news with tatiana sanchez . the news with tatiana sanchez. >> nigel. thank you. the top stories this evening. tensions are high in edinburgh this evening with the scottish greens planning to vote against first minister humza yousaf in a vote of no confidence . it's after the of no confidence. it's after the snps power sharing deal with the greens collapsed this morning, leaving mr yousaf in charge of a minority government. losing the vote wouldn't automatically spell the end for mr yousaf, but it would throw serious doubt

over his ability to govern the no confidence motion was proposed by scottish conservative leader douglas ross, who branded the snp leader weak and a failed first minister. moroccan asylum seeker ahmed khalid has been convicted of murdering a 70 year old man in hartlepool. terence carney was 70 years old. alfred stabbed him six times in what was intended as revenge for the israel—hamas conflict. our gb news reporter anna reilly has more. a jury at teesside crown court has found that 45 year old moroccan asylum seeker ahmed al fayed is guilty of the murder of terence carney, a 70 year old pensioner who was fatally stabbed in hartlepool centre on the 15th of october for eight days on from when hamas attacked israel. the jury also found that al—ahd was guilty for the attempted murder of his housemate javid nouri, who he
