an election offering to ex—servicemen and women on the 80th anniversary of d—day, rishi sunak has pledged to cut rail fares for veterans and enshrine their rights in law. the prime minister says a new veterans veterans bill is going to be introduced if he returns to number 10. it's the latest conservative pledge to be announced following the first tv debate of the election campaign last night, when the prime minister and sir keir starmer clashed over accusations about money in labour's financial plans as well. in other election news today, sir keir starmer also defended his choice to rely solely on the nhs, despite earning £128,000 a year as an mp and opposition leader. in an interview with gb news, the labour leader said he has unwavering confidence in the health service and referenced life saving treatment that his mother once received. he says it was the nhs that pulled her through. >> i grew up with my mum's suffering. she was extremely ill. she nearly died several

times and she was treated on every occasion by the nhs on an urgent basis. i have 100% confidence in the nhs and that is why i wouldn't use anything other than the nhs and i wouldn't for my relatives. but this is a lived experience once for me because as i was growing up, particularly when i was a teenager, i was in the high dependency unit with my mum and we nearly lost her a number of times, but she was absolutely clear that it was the nhs that pulled her through. every time i say thank you to them and i would use them when you dpp, you did you have it then? >> private healthcare? no, i didn't . didn't. >> sir keir starmer well it was an emotional time in the welsh senate today as the first minister, vaughan gething , wiped minister, vaughan gething, wiped away tears as colleagues spoke to defend him in the welsh parliament. but he still went on to lose a no confidence vote. it follows criticism over accusations of accepting donations from convicted criminals and misleading the covid inquiry over deleted messages. he's called the defeat

a desperate gimmick by the conservatives, and he's defiant that he won't step down. >> today was an exercise in muck throwing the range of different things that were said that members know are simply not true is really quite disgraceful . i'm is really quite disgraceful. i'm going tonight to normandy. i should have been in portsmouth today honouring our d—day veterans. i will go to normandy to do my duty for my country, as any first minister should . that any first minister should. that means a long drive overnight to arrive, to do the right thing tomorrow. that's how i feel about serving my country. and that's my intention now. and for the future. >> vaughan gething speaking earlier and finally, the first banknotes carrying a portrait of king charles have gone into circulation today. notes that feature the late queen elizabeth ii will remain legal tender and co—circulate alongside those beanng co—circulate alongside those bearing the king's image. the new notes will only be printed to replace those that are worn

out, or to meet any overall increase in demand. in order to minimise the environmental and financial impact of the change. that's the news for the latest stories. do sign up to gb news alerts. scan the qr code on the screen or go to gb news. carmelites . carmelites. >> hello and welcome to headliners. >> it's your first look at thursday's newspapers with me, andrew doyle. tonight i'm joined by two top comedians. the safe pair of hands, steve n allan and dangerous cluster of personality traits , louis shaffer and louis, traits, louis shaffer and louis, i saw that you put out a tweet asking your fans which of which tie you should wear. you gave them three options and you went for that one. >> i don't listen to my fans. >> i don't listen to my fans. >> what do they know? well, they're only trying to sabotage you anyway, aren't they? with their votes. yeah, by watching me. but yeah, exactly. trying to hurt my career.

>> no, i think this is a nice one. it's a yeager tie, and i think i paid £2 for it. a drink, isn't it? this is a stain. that's this. probably this is an expensive toy that someone paid a lot of money for. >> whereas, steve, you always look, you don't need a public vote to decide what you wear. >> this is not a democracy . >> this is not a democracy. >> this is not a democracy. >> no new dictatorship. and you have taste. yeah. so unlike your partner there okay. so look we're going to start by looking at the front cover of when of sorry thursday's front pages. so the daily mail is leading with our eternal debt to the fallen heroes . that's the d—day story. heroes. that's the d—day story. telegraph has hunt issues challenge to starmer over taxes on property. the guardian is running with sunak lied to country over labour tax and spend plans, says starmer. the times we'll tackle murder law loopholes the tories the express eternally in their debt. that's the d—day story. and finally , the d—day story. and finally, daily star also runs with d—day. those were your front pages .

those were your front pages. okay, so let's scurry through those front pages. we're going to start with the daily mail . to start with the daily mail. steve, you've got this. >> yeah i mean it's on the front page of many newspapers as you'd expect. but the mail goes with as veterans move the queen to tears at d—day ceremony. king pays tears at d—day ceremony. king pays emotional tribute . our pays emotional tribute. our eternal debt to the fallen heroes. >> she indeed crying like a welsh first minister, but it was it was really moving. we're at a time when it won't be the same in the future. >> we're at the end of the overlap where there are veterans to commemorate this with. >> yes, not going to be forever. so i think it makes it even more moving. >> and also we're at the other part of the overlap of when it's more important to remember how wars can happen, how wars are actually the misery they are to fight, because it's not as if we're war free these days . we're war free these days. >> that spectre does loom large. yeah, absolutely. very important , commemoration, isn't it, lewis? i mean, this is within living memory of some people . we living memory of some people. we think of it as fiction. we think of it as films. we think of it as saving private ryan and that kind of thing. but this thing

happened to these people that obviously turned up for the ceremony. >> well, not these ones. >> well, not these ones. >> these ones are still living, you know, who knows what these people did? >> i mean, my father was there. he was shot twice. >> he was at d—day. >> he was at d—day. >> he was sort of i couldn't get any details from the guy , okay. any details from the guy, okay. but he was sort of he was sort of there. >> well , he of there. >> well, he was sort of. of there. >> well , he was sort of. well, >> well, he was sort of. well, if he's anything like you and it sounds like he is, i'm not sure we can entirely trust that testimony, but was it darren day he visited? >> he was there . and i'll tell >> he was there. and i'll tell you, i'll tell you something. it's like, what is learning about d—day going to do? it was about d—day going to do? it was a glorious time for this country and for america to a horrible time. >> it was a great time. >> it was a great time. >> we won a war after people forget about all the people who were dead. >> they don't know the people were at that stage, the people at that stage. >> it was very much in the balance. >> i think it was in the balance. it was a great thing. but what does what is getting people to learn about this thing going to do? what is it going to do? >> well, i mean, surely you approve of the commemorations? i i'm not so sure i do. >> i don't know what what this does. it's like look at people cheering on the beach in france.

>> and there we are, louis schaefer, who can take a contrary position on absolutely anything. so let's move on now to the times . what have we got to the times. what have we got on the front cover of the times? it's a busy you know, it's a slightly different news story for them. so this is the guardian i apologise. sorry a guardian, scientists hail bowel disease discovery. >> this is this is on the front page of the guardian. i don't i don't understand what they're. i don't understand what they're. i don't understand what they're. i don't understand what they were all about is on one hand, they're totally team world as i say, they want to. they want to present like this. >> louis, what is the story, though? what is the bowel disease that they've genetics. right >> they found they found certain genes which are going to do it. but the truth is, is that bowel disease is caused by the mostly by the things that we're eating. and we're eating a lot of toxicity . toxicity. >> so, steve, of course, louis does like to think that he knows more than about nutrition than any other scientists in the world. would you would you tell us a bit more about this story? well, i think genetics is important for many of these diseases, which would end up talking about me over here. >> yeah, in cancers , it's important. >> and they're finding it's important here. >> and it is. we're getting into

a time when knowing about the impact of someone's genetics will then be able to tailor the treatment as well. this is exciting times. unless you just ignore all of that and just go back to , oh, it's all about me. back to, oh, it's all about me. >> it's exciting times. >> it's exciting times. >> why do they need to know about genetics? they need to know about it because they want to keep track of us. number one, how do they track you? by knowing you? >> because when they have once they have you, they say, oh, i've got to go have my genetics tested. lots of i had my genetics tested, but lots of people do not. and i can understand why they don't. they don't want to know about it because people like you, you have your genetics tested. because i wanted to prove that i was who i thought i was. >> well, you're not louis. never in doubt. you're an imposter. why don't we have a look at the other story on the garden? sunak lied to country over labour tax and spend plans, says starmer. yeah, i mean, i think this is interesting because during the debate, if you watched it quite often, rishi sunak brought up the issue of it being an extra £2,000 per family, and it was never really pushed back upon. indeed during the debate, the telegraph went with the headline, keir starmer refuses to deny it. so why is starmer only now pushing back? because

you couldn't get the debate? honestly, if you watch all the bits again as soon as you're going to go, i just need to say something about that. julie etchingham shuts him down and goes. we'll come back to that later. and eventually they did kind of come back to it. but the interesting thing here is a letter from james bowler, who's the treasury's permanent secretary, in which he said the ministers should not suggest that civil servants produce the figure. it's the special advisers who give the civil servants the input data, the civil servants churn it and therefore you can't say. and the thing that i do think people should have spotted this, right. the criticism of labour is we don't know what the policies are. we don't know what the policies are. we don't know what the policies are. their policies will cost this much. how did you not spot the gap if we don't know the policies, how do you know the policies, how do you know how much it's going to cost? well, also, the manifesto is not out yet. you know, i think a lot will be made clear, won't it, when the manifestos come out. i'm talking about all the parties there. yeah. at the moment we're still fumbling in the dark a little bit, aren't we, louis? it doesn't matter what the tories say, they're not going to do it. >> so what is it? what does it matter what what what rishi sunak says? >> well, you can't possibly say that, louis. you don't know. >> he's had he's had 18 months to do something. he hasn't done anything. the biggest problems

have not been sorted. >> well, let's have a look at the front cover of the times. now, this is a very different story. if you got this one, steve, we'll tackle murder, law, loopholes, vow tories, there's a couple of things they're planning to do. not only change. basically what at the moment you can plead guilty to manslaughter so you wouldn't get a murder charge, but they effectively rebrand it as second degree murder. like in america . they're murder. like in america. they're also saying that murderers will spend longer in prison. good plan. if we had any space in prisons. well, there's that. can you clarify this for me? because the article talks about adopting the article talks about adopting the american system of first and second degree murder. i thought that pretty much equates to murder. manslaughter. yeah. so what exactly is the difference? just a rebrand. is that all it is? and it's a i think it's a rebrand that also you could say the same thing if we need to change it now, why did we not do it 14 years ago? were murderers better 14 years ago? no. they should have been brought in as soon as you're in charge. well, if you think it's important, could it be lewis? because obviously, as an american, you are an expert here that manslaughter, say, for instance, someone drives , accidentally someone drives, accidentally knocked someone over and they die. that's manslaughter. that wouldn't be second degree murder because you would have had to

intend to do some harm. have i got that right? >> i think this i, i don't really know that i'm going to say that i don't know . all i say that i don't know. all i know is, is that no one gives a hoot about this. this is not a big issue. this. well it is. >> no, no. come on. there are some murderers. as the article talks about who are getting off lightly, that one case which which we had here, you weren't there at the time . there at the time. >> that guy where he did something and he got off. but the meanwhile, there's a million. >> he's talking specifically about the three people stabbed in nottingham last year. yes. >> three people stabbed in nottingham. there's a million people coming into the country that's the issue that that the tories have. >> that's a different that's a different story. >> it is a big difference. i don't understand how this works. you got six six weeks of electioneering. what was the 18 months beforehand and the time even before that? >> well, we're catching up to it now. at least we're going to move on finally to the i. louis, this is a story about rivers. >> yeah. this comes out of the eye, which isn't really a newspaper. it's a it's a charity to help. help save the rivers. it's very big on the rivers. and

it says it needs to clean up the rivers. and it's got the backing of all, all the different. >> well, it proposes five different pledges, doesn't it? and it wants all the major political parties to sign up to these pledges. louis it's important. we want clean rivers. we do want clean rivers. >> but rivers in this country have gotten cleaner every single yeah have gotten cleaner every single year. yes, there's dumping of extra stuff, but but you take a look at the our beautiful thames river right here in london, which we are. >> you joking? would you like to go for a swim in that river? >> i have, i got pictures on my. >> i have, i got pictures on my. >> you can go. >> you can go. >> you can go to lewis schaffer .co.uk or you can go just google lewis schaffer thames and you will see pictures of me. yeah. >> would you go swimming in the thames? no, not at all. there was a thing on telly. some bloke did a little scoop of it, sent it to a lab and the lab like had to mark it as danger water because it got so much e.coli in it. right. and this is because we've got the our rivers aren't clean. there was advice given to wild swimmers and i don't agree with that anyway. you know each to their own. if you are swimming in these wild waters, try and keep your mouth shut, was the actual advice in case what you perchance gulp just go to a swimming pool. i agree with

that. >> not even a swimming pool. you should go to a swimming pool ehhen should go to a swimming pool either, because the water is horrific. you shouldn't go swimming, so all swimming pool water is terrible, but our rivers are the cleanest. i'm not saying i'm not saying i'm drinking it. i am drinking it. the people in this country , in the people in this country, in this, in london, swimming is unnatural. >> anyway . we don't we don't, we >> anyway. we don't we don't, we don't have gills. you know any more? any more whales don't have gills. yeah they don't swim. they bob about. they have they have a laugh, don't they? all the mammals in the water don't have gills . well, i don't think have gills. well, i don't think mammals should go in the water. i'm with andrew. he's you shouldn't. >> you shouldn't go swimming. you shouldn't go swimming . you shouldn't go swimming. >> don't get me started on bats. no. just because mammals shouldn't be flying either. we've got to stick together, guys. okay so that's the front pages. out of the way. do join us after the break when we'll be discussing a suggestion for world starmer's dedication to the nhs and hesitation in the met police.

yeah. welcome back to headliners. it's your first look at thursday's newspapers with me. andrew doyle. and i've got comedian stephen allan and lewis schaffer here. well, semi comedian there. we're going to begin with wednesday's guardian. steve a difficult day for vaughan gething thing. yes, welsh first minister vaughan gething lose his confidence vote. but not only that, i think the bigger deal is that he cried dunng the bigger deal is that he cried during the debate. i mean, this is a great way to make people not have confidence. who have you got confidence in? the guy down the front with a snot bubble. now this this is a bit of a sort of soap opera, isn't it? because the reason why he lost the vote was two of the labour mps were ill. well yeah. well, were they ill because one of them had been sacked by him . of them had been sacked by him. yeah. right. so that would suggest. and the other one had been openly critical of him. so they're not some bad prawn, they're not some bad prawn, they're not some bad prawn, they're not his mates. but yeah food poisoning can hit you. yeah.i food poisoning can hit you. yeah. i don't want to cast aspersions but also apparently there's a convention where if you don't, if you lose two of the voters from one side, the

tradition is that two would step down to balance the vote. and they didn't didn't happen. he would have got a score draw, i suppose. but i mean, look, i've got welsh ancestry, so i think i'm okay when i can say that, for a welshman to cry, it's if a welshman has a wet shirt , it welshman has a wet shirt, it shouldn't be through crying, it shouldn't be through crying, it should be through trying to pronounce the alphabet. and this is i think this is an absolute. well, soap opera's the right thing . there's the scandal about thing. there's the scandal about the £200,000 donation that he took from someone who's dumping water, waste somewhere. we don't like dumping. there's also some deleted messages that's suspicious. it's suspicious when we know that boris johnson did a factory reset and rebekah vardy lost her phone. it's. they're the same people basically , and the same people basically, and the same people basically, and the person he sacked was the one that he had accused of, leaking this idea that he deleted the message. so it's all quite, you know, interesting , isn't it? know, interesting, isn't it? well, you say interesting this vote of confidence or no confidence , doesn't make confidence, doesn't make a difference. the guy can still turn up to work. a lot of intrigue going on in wales. welsh men shouldn't cry. louis druids don't cry. they're too busy picking out entrails. well

reading the future. >> and that's, that's prejudice against druids . against druids. >> i don't like him. >> i don't like him. >> the truth is, men can cry. and, i mean, i would cry if i looked like this guy. he's looked like this guy. he's looked like this guy. he's looked like one of the ugliest guys. that's very unfair. >> i don't care. >> i don't care. >> i don't care. >> i don't think it's true. >> i don't think it's true. >> i don't think it's true. >> i think he's very dashing. >> i think he's very dashing. >> i think he's very dashing. >> i don't think he is. he's like the worst of both because he's a mixture. and he's like the. he doesn't turn out looking that good. here's the point. >> before you get us all thrown off here, i want to get a sentence in before this bit gets cut. yeah. the only other the gig for 12 weeks. yeah so that's 84 days. that's 1.7. liz truss's. yeah. yeah. so he's done well. yeah. >> so why were they so unhappy with him in just 84 days. that's the question. well it's what steve was just talking about. >> it's about all this stuff to do with the, the deleting texts and the £200,000 in donation. they knew that before . they knew that before. >> they knew all of this beforehand, i don't know, i'm going to have to find out what's more about it. the truth is, is that wales, a fantastic place? i've spent many, many an hour there, but it's what happens . there, but it's what happens. it's what happens when you lose your own country. the welsh are people that the they were the original british type people and

they lost their country to immigrants, not to romans. they were pushed out by the, by the, by the germans, the angles, the saxons, by everyone , kings by saxons, by everyone, kings by the druids had to run off to anglesey. >> imagine that. >> imagine that. >> yeah. and that's the furthest. >> they didn't cry about it. no, that's how furthest jury. it's a real man. i'll leave you with that. all right . we're going to that. all right. we're going to move on to the telegraph. now, ian duncan smith thinks that learning about d—day could be the secret to world peace. now, we sort of touched on this earlier, luis. you weren't convinced that learning about d—day was important. i would suggest, though, some of the statistics on this. i mean, what's this about kids 18 to 13 year olds? they only 48. no, 48% recognise the term d—day and what it means, which suggests that 52% haven't got a clue right ? right? >> why or why? because what does d—day stand for? does it stand for landing day or attacking germans and france day ? we don't germans and france day? we don't know what it does. so that's people know. they know that there was an invasion. i assume that they do. i don't know what these young kids are doing. >> i tried to convince him earlier that it stood for normandy day. it does? yeah. norman. d—day, normandy .

norman. d—day, normandy. >> so keep your jokes to yourself. >> now, listen, louis, it is terribly important. it was a turning point in the war. it was an incredible sacrifice. yes, it was so. i mean, surely , steve. was so. i mean, surely, steve. i mean, isn't there a bigger problem here that kids don't know about history? full stop. yeah, i'm surprised . i thought yeah, i'm surprised. i thought we were teaching this at school. we did when i went to school. and then i'm reminded of how long ago that was, although in duncan smith and this says that teaching this will be the thing that stops future war stops the war happening soon. i'm not so sure about that. the turnaround is not quick enough, is it? if you learn this, if you're 14 now, yes, in the future you'll be some sort of leader or voter, but it's not going to have any impact on what's happening with with russia. >> it will not turn it around because it's a sign of us winning. and so what we think, oh, it's easy for us to win. look, we want a d—day. >> why is d—day? i mean, i don't think learning about d—day specifically would prevent future wars, you know, because by that point, the war was well underway. you want to talk about the sort of machinations that went on before and the ways in which it could have been averted and all the political wranglings and all the political wranglings and that kind of. but that's not

so interesting, is it? no. although schools are not necessarily meant to be interesting. no it's not. i do think learning all of those details would be it's useful to know what i think we should do. we should bring back latin and greek at school so that people feel a connection to the past. yeah. so i think that's what we've lost. i think people don't care about the past . care about the past. >> that's a very good idea. >> that's a very good idea. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i don't think it's that. i think what it is, is it's that we're in a new world and people are actually thinking, maybe the germans aren't that bad anymore. so you think i don't think the lesson is that we should hate the germans. >> i think i think it's a wider picture. >> yeah, that is the that is the lesson. the fact is that we don't hate the germans anymore. i met many nice germans. they seem to be nice. and people don't hate the germans the way they used to hate the germans. >> are you good at your history, louis? yes i am, you're very good. >> me? >> me? >> about anything? anything? yeah. okay in what year did, the jack the ripper murders occur, i would say, you know, nothing . would say, you know, nothing. 18, 18, 1906, 1888. >> not bad. okay, let's move on anyway. is that good? >> was that . >> was that. >> was that. >> i was thinking you were eight years off, so actually an alibi. i feel chastened by that. okay,

we're going to move on to the daily mail. now, what's this about keir starmer wanting to hurt his family? what's that, keir starmer insists he would never use private health care, even if a relative was stuck on a waiting list because the nhs is in his dna. and i agree, i don't like some of my family members either, so fair enough. but it was in the itv debate. fingers on buzzers, question. just a quick little, you know, speed round. they were both asked if a relative was on a waiting list to use private health care. starmer said that because it was in his dna, mentioned that his wife works for the national health service. he mentioned that the people in the national health service use tools. and his dad was a toolmaker. yes. he swung one of those in, got that out, about eight of those through there. it's a theoretical question. so maybe he truly believes it. maybe he believes it . now, given maybe he believes it. now, given the state of the nhs. now, if it got worse, maybe that would change. the article really brushes over the fact that rishi said he would use private health care, but of course he would because he's so imagine asking your billionaire wife, would you sit this one out and go on a waiting list? because, yeah, of course, of course. isn't this a bit like, you know, when politicians , people have a go at politicians, people have a go at them when they don't send their kids to state schools, so they have to sort of send them to the

dodgy local comp when they really want to send them to the posh one where they're going to get into oxbridge. but also, this makes me a bit ill. i mean, come on, lewis, if you're rich, if you're posh, if you've got money, stop clogging up the nhs. right? go to a private hospital. stop being so bloody selfish . stop being so bloody selfish. >> yeah, you're saying that as a half joke? no, i mean it, but it's actually true. but why would anybody want to go to the health? any health service? why do you even want to think about it? >> the n hs it? >> the nhs is brilliant. it is. >> the nhs is brilliant. it is. >> it is as brilliant as any anything in america , which means anything in america, which means it's not brilliant. >> the medical system has flaws . >> the medical system has flaws. >> the medical system has flaws. >> the medical system has flaws. >> the medical system today is not fit for purpose . not fit for purpose. >> and i'll tell you what, lewis, if you're poor and you can't afford all that health care that you get in america by, you know, selling your right leg or whatever, over here, you can actually get treated even if you're poor. >> no you can't. they don't treat rich people either, even at the private , private or at the private, private or public. they don't get. i've seen it. i'm 60. you are still young and beautiful, andrew, i am i'm 67 years old. >> you're still lying about that. >> i've. yeah, i've used the health care system. >> okay. one day i'm going to

reveal your real age, and all of your follower count will disappear. let's move on now to the daily mail. the police are reluctant to stop trouble in case it gets them into trouble. louis. oh, is this me ? it is. louis. oh, is this me? it is. >> yeah. this is this guy, mark rowley. he's the met police chief, and he was interviewed again. but they didn't ask him the main. they didn't ask him. the main question is why are they giving? why are they giving such you know, the people who watch this channel such, such horribleness. and he's he's saying that our police, the police don't want to get involved in things. they are very hesitant. but that's what policemen are . they don't want policemen are. they don't want to get involved and naturally they don't. these mass policemen, why do people have a job? they have a job because they think they're not good at it. people who like who are very funny. he, you know, like like you , stephen. that's why you do you, stephen. that's why you do all the funny things . all the funny things. >> wasn't following the logic, was it? it was people have a job because they're not good at it. like you, stephen, who's a comedian. yeah. you're trying to be funny , basically. yeah. be funny, basically. yeah. >> i don't have to be funny because i'm secure. >> isn't secure. isn't. isn't mark rowley sort of making a

point that we all kind of know that the police are a bit standoffish about it because they are worried about making a mistake, but they've always been. yeah, but they make mistakes. it's bad. yeah, it's really bad. yeah. i think he's saying it is worse now because they're under pressure and the impact of that worry. i think this is true. if you're not having people in the police volunteer for the training courses, you're going to have an under trained force. yes. and that's one of the things he's saying. i mean, often mark rowley sits around and says, oh, we don't want armchair police commissioning. it basically doesn't want criticism . but in doesn't want criticism. but in this one, i think he's got a good point that if we are going to overanalyze the police, they need to be analysed, but you need to be analysed, but you need to be analysed, but you need to have a system in place where police can be policed. otherwise you don't have any police. absolutely okay. well let's move on. finally, in this section, things heating up in the express . steve. climate the express. steve. climate hell, exit needed. well, that's in quote marks. i think that's how you meant to say it. as world braced for year long breach of 1.5 c by 2028, scientists predicted a year long global temperature increase. here's the problem. this is a bad time to mention it. this

year has been dull. yeah, so you can talk about 1.5 increase and it's be yeah. be right. can talk about 1.5 increase and it's be yeah. be right . we're it's be yeah. be right. we're all going to die. but it'd be nice to die with a tan. am i asking too much? so is this just another one of these sort of doom mongering articles that come out every now and then saying the world's going to end and then it doesn't? well, just sort of carries on. if they're implying the world's going to end, the world's not going to end. they might move the areas in which humanity can live. but i remember when i was at school and our geography teacher said there would be no fossil fuels by the year 2005. yeah, yeah, yeah, but but i'm still driving my car. technology stepped in and sort it out for us before. right before 19. oh i can't remember before the harbour process. right. you've hit on it . why are we getting so uptight about this stuff? why does greta thunberg never say. you know what? maybe if we just invest into technology, we might solve this problem rather than spitting at van gogh. >> because they want us to live in a constant state of fear and at the same time know that we're being lied to. and the fact that we're accepting this is a lie. most people think this is a lie . most people think this is a lie. the whole thing. i couldn't read this article because it's complete and utter garbage . i'm complete and utter garbage. i'm glad you read it. >> yeah, i don't think everyone

thinks it's a lie. and there's a lot of climate scientists who would slap you silly with that remark , and i would enjoy it, remark, and i would enjoy it, but that still makes it a lie. >> yeah, but the fact that they the fact that they need to slap me silly over this thing, but if there's like 95% of climate scientists think one thing, you've got 5% thinking the other, and you think 5% is everyone. >> yeah. and you've you've failed massively . but >> yeah. and you've you've failed massively. but he's >> yeah. and you've you've failed massively . but he's not failed massively. but he's not good at maths. he's not good at maths. >> but it's a it's a similar thing with the covid thing. >> steve, before we move away from that though, i do know that people don't believe that covid is . steve, finish people don't believe that covid is. steve, finish this point okay. and then i'm going to interrupt you and go to a break. let's go, un secretary general antonio guterres is wrong. he says we're worried about this. and therefore we need to stop fossil fuel companies advertising what a stupid move. because i've never sat at home thinking i wasn't going to burn myself like a cubic metre of gas. but advert looks good. the one thing i want to mention is it's the industry and the technology that needs to fix it. the phrase carbon footprint was invented by the fossil fuel industry so that we feel the blame. so we're stupidly recycling stuff. the industry needs to be the ones to do

things. yes, blame the little people and the chinese government. can we? i mean, can we deal with them because they email them first before just say or just email them first before just say orjust say email them first before just say or just say what they call fossil fuels, which aren't fossil fuels, which aren't fossil fuels, which aren't fossil fuels are the greatest thing that has happened to our lives. all right. well i'm going to send a stern email to xi jinping and believe you me, my emails work. that's the end of part two. don't go anywhere. after the break. we're going to be discussing wrong'uns in the arts, saints in teaching profession, and a centre where you would least expect it.

>> here we go. >> here we go. >> welcome back to headliners. your first look at thursday's newspapers . we're going to open newspapers. we're going to open this section with the telegraph. now, news that the iron lady was softer than we thought. >> yes . this is, this is, this >> yes. this is, this is, this is salman rushdie , who's is salman rushdie, who's anti—thatcher was unexpectedly very touchy feely, reveals rushdie. and, he met he met her

after after he wrote that book, which i haven't read, which no one's read , because the iranians one's read, because the iranians said they're going to kill the guy for printing the book. >> well, so the book, you mean the satanic verses, the satanic verses, right. >> so he's on this is, this is what's his name, salman rushdie . what's his name, salman rushdie. and he's he's on he's on this how to fail podcast. and he basically says he met margaret thatcher and she was very touchy feely. >> he's not the only one. christopher hitchens met margaret thatcher. he said he she slapped him on the bottom. so i mean, there's something about that where touchy feely means, well , about that where touchy feely means, well, you about that where touchy feely means, well , you know, she was means, well, you know, she was very sort of hands, i think she was quite playful and quite funny. and i don't think people realise how funny she was. yeah >> and i think that's part of it with people who maybe weren't a threat to her. >> oh they're just. yeah. people that she, she met and she's, you know, i, i think this is something that people don't know about her, but i think i can completely see it. what do you think? i imagine if you are living under such high security, there's a fatwa against you. you're spending a lot of time indoors, and all of a sudden you'd be grateful for anything, is what i'm saying. yes it gives

you the old on the old bottom. oh, yes. you wouldn't complain , oh, yes. you wouldn't complain, but i'd complain now because i get out more. i don't want people like margaret thatcher slapping my bottom. you don't question. i don't know if i find i found her very attractive, but then again, i'm an american. >> we didn't we didn't. we weren't taught to hate her by you people. >> there is that. she was always very well turned out. wasn't she? immaculate hair, wonderful brooches . brooches. >> she also grew up above a shop, and she learned how to treat people like. like our mark. whatever it is. >> she was a chemist and a chemist. yeah, and she invented mr whippy ice cream. well worked in the development of the, like, emulsifier or something like that. emulsifier or something like that . my version emulsifier or something like that. my version is emulsifier or something like that . my version is better. that. my version is better. let's stick with that one. okay, so the time's next, and, we find out the best time for women to take up mma formula one and other challenging tasks like deaung other challenging tasks like dealing with lewis schaffer when is that best time, well, in for some of those never would be my advice, but women's reaction times in prove during their periods, right? so if you've ever wondered why you can't dodge the crockery being thrown at you in your marriage, this

would be why science can answer it. when women are actually on their period, their speed and reaction times improve even though women in sport say they feel sluggish during that time. yes. so science has said you are wrong to women on their periods. so good luck passing that news on, experts say that women are slower in the luteal phase. that phase, the period before the period, this whole thing is badly named, they got higher level of progesterone, which makes your brain a bit slower. and i think i know why reaction times would be faster during a penod. times would be faster during a period . this is like period. this is like evolutionary pressures, back in caveman days , if you if you want caveman days, if you if you want to eat, you either got to get out there and hunt or you can be fed by the community and the family that you're in. and that's the one time when the caveman is saying, i'm off, mate. so you've got to you've got to fend for yourself. lewis, i love to learn about the menstrual cycle. it's the thing i don't really know enough about. well, i'm surprised that this is news. >> anybody has ever dealt with a woman when they're on their whatever you don't want, you don't want to know it. and so you don't you don't want to be with him, which is why they shouldn't allow women to work

whatever. >> but, lewis, you want to go back to biblical times where women who menstruate had to sit in a tent? yeah. isolate themselves. yeah yeah, yeah. >> and you've never seen that. so how can you criticise ? so how can you criticise? >> i've never seen that. no, no i've actually no, i've never seen a woman retreat to attend because of her men. no. >> but you've never been in a position where you were like married to a girl. maybe she's pregnant. maybe she's, you know. you know, i don't know. i do know you've gotten away with murder. you don't know about my past. anybody anybody who's ever had anything to do with women? no no, that they're best avoided. >> okay, well, if you're a woman, please do feel free to tweet in. actually, just tweet. lewis whitney i don't lewis schaffer, go and see a show when you're on your period. we're going to go to the daily mail next, and what's this one? this is a about. oh, no. no it is the daily mail. this is wfaa culture. what's that ? what? culture. what's that? what? >> no, that's another one. the an unexpected side effect of wfh culture, which is working from home. i'm going to i'm going to get to it. so i'm not this guy.

i can't be booked with this guy. this guy. he's too prepared. i didn't say anything. you did. you did because he's he's you've made him all nervous. i'm not going to get to my point. hello? >> i'm wondering. yeah. okay. explain the story, louis. >> it'sjust explain the story, louis. >> it's just they did a test. they did a test of, in denmark. of people who've donated to this kairos , international for, like, kairos, international for, like, sperm thing. and they found that in the past eight years, sperm motility . yes. the movement. motility. yes. the movement. that's how fast. like, if you dump some sperm . and i've had my dump some sperm. and i've had my sperm tested many times. yes. it's delicious. >> it doesn't know about menstrual cycles, but you're all right. yeah, but they're talking about the motility of the sperm motility. >> the motility is down. >> the motility is down. >> and that's to do with how quickly someone gets pregnant. is that what it is? >> yeah. no. that's how yeah, kind of it kind of. it kind of huns kind of it kind of. it kind of hurts it if the, if the, if the sperm is not moving then it can't do its job and they're blaming it. i don't know what they're blaming it on. but the truth is it's probably just food food and plastics okay. >> now why did they do this steve. well, it's interesting because the presumption and other studies have found that there's been a slow decline in

sperm levels in men, both like the amount of sperm and motility. how is this one? said the numbers were fine, actually, for a six year period. they stayed the same. however 2020 took another hit. so why is that? because everyone's working from home being a bit lazy. that then translates into lazy sperm metazoa bad food, no exercise. also, the temperature of the testes impacts it. so either sitting around with like, you know, jogging bottoms or climate change, okay. or the feminisation of culture, which i think is lewis. >> i would say that too. yeah. they're at home. >> okay. let's move on to the times now. keira knightley has some bright ideas about broadcast. what's this about, actresses unite to tell studios fund the bullying watchdog. female stars have signed this, this letter, there's already this letter, there's already this watchdog been set up, and they think instead of just one off payment, it should be a regular thing, some of the. there's ruth wilson, keira knightley, cara delevingne, also, one of the actresses that signed the letter is ophelia lovibond . and i believe she's lovibond. and i believe she's been bullied, probably at school

. if your first name sounds like copping a feel and your surname is a sex glue, then i imagine you're going to get some sort of bullying . it's our real name, bullying. it's our real name, ophelia lovibond. yeah, okay. she was in the american version of, sherlock holmes . you know of, sherlock holmes. you know what we're doing now, steve? we're bullying her right now, aren't we? well, there's a whole group set up for this called the creative industries independent standards authority. the chiesa, and they just want one off, not just one off payments, regular payments. and actually, i think there's something in it. it is an industry that has bullying. yeah, every industry has bullying. so i worked in a call centre. people would physically punch you in the face. well not quite, but they would. they would be very, you know, aggressive . yeah. and a aggressive. yeah. and a teaching. forget about it. forget about it. teaching is loads of bullies in teaching i think. what about this place? i think. what about this place? i think i bully you all the time. totally. you do. shut up lewis. you do. >> luckily, it's being filmed and yeah, it doesn't matter. >> and we don't have an hr department. is gonna take me down. >> they've seen my tears from you.the >> they've seen my tears from you. the point is, is i'm quite involved in the film industry as you are . i was just in a film

you are. i was just in a film just yesterday, the day before. >> and were you bullied by the director ? director? >> no. the bullet. the bullet is steven soderbergh's film latest one that's being filmed right now. steven soderbergh, he's the guy who did ocean's11, now. steven soderbergh, he's the guy who did ocean's 11, 12 and 13. >> he did the limey , which is >> he did the limey, which is a rather good film. >> i didn't see that with terence stamp. i think. anyway, he's amazing, but i've been on film sets and they are the nicest you could possibly imagine. yeah. >> here's my problem with this, steve, is that when they say there's 92% of people have experienced harassment and bullying, i think those terms have kind of got a bit weakened. like we're not one person's bullying is just someone else's. i don't know , encouragement. i don't know, encouragement. yeah. and i think it's particularly bad in this industry. their industry, we're not in the same ballpark. are we. but it you'd be so desperate to keep the job that maybe you'd put up with more. and they're saying that that needs to be looked at as long as they're looking at it. then i think this kaiser might be a good not that i support workplace bullying, i just i'm not so sure it's that this is a prelude to the end of the world. there we go, okay. on that note, we're going to move on to a story in the guardian about primary school teachers

spending their money. lewis. >> yes, this is another one of those things . really, news stories. >> no stories that involve women complaining. lewis schaffer, do you know what we do have female viewers. >> you know, i know we do. we did exactly the female viewers. you were determined to alienate half of our viewers. >> do you know what? if only my girlfriend watched the show, then i would, i could, i would have to watch what i'm saying. but she's not. she needs to go to sleep early. she's not watching it anyway, i think. i think she's not watching anyway, says aidan. did they did a study? they did a study. this national foundation for educational research did a study, and they asked 1300 school teachers. and they found that a lot of stuff, which is like they're spending money on the kids, on the kids. but in every job you spend money on your own business, you buy things or whatever you have. >> this is different. this is kids turning up to school so raggedy and so malnourished, and the teachers feel they have to buy them food and clothes. >> you think i'm going to say about this? i think you're going to say that teachers teaching is the best profession that you can

possibly pursue, my mother, that you should be better remunerated . no, i don't think so. and that's what this is all about. it's all about let's pay teachers more. i don't think so. i think they should disband the pubuc i think they should disband the public school system, and they should have private teachers and have people decide, you know, where they want to go to school and who they're being paid for. >> are you like one of these who think that kids should just not be educated like blake used to think? just let them run free and they'll just naturally learn the ways of the world. they can just watch youtube videos about science. couldn't they can know as much as you? >> yeah they could. i've watched thousands of hours of this with an open mind. i was not i wasn't so indebted to this system as you. >> this is bad. i think it's bad. there are two sides of this. there's the having to buy, bnng this. there's the having to buy, bring food in for the hungry children and coats for the cold ones. that's terrible . i mean, ones. that's terrible. i mean, that's a societal issue. there's also many turning up without the kit for the studying. yeah, i've always thought they're really. schools should be the place that just hands you the pens and papers and stuff. why do you have to provide that ? because have to provide that? because you learn discipline, don't you? you can learn discipline another way . instead of just having kids way. instead of just having kids turn out without the ability to write and therefore, like fail a

lesson. no. if you turn up for a seminar like you have to these days in various industries. yes. and yet some hotels somewhere with terrible coffee. they've got pens and paper for you there. well, you know what the michaela school, if you forget your pen, you get a detention automatically. oh, dear. well, and they get the best results. just saying. >> can i tell you what it does? it sees who has good parents and those are the parents that we want to. those are the kids that we want to move forward. yeah, the posher kids. the posher kids. >> yeah, absolutely . okay, let's >> yeah, absolutely. okay, let's time for a break. now, do join us in the final section for sugar addiction. shin and the answer to one of nature's greatest

welcome back to headliners, your first look at thursday's newspapers. we're going to kick off this section with the guardian, which, surprise, surprise, has a story about race. steve. yeah. racial resentment was a factor in violence over the 6th of january, 2021 study says. so political observers said previously have blamed hyper partisanship and political polarisation. that was part of it. well, not yeah, that's exactly when you read on and they say, well, actually there's a message about it was mainly black cities messing with the vote. and that riled people up. i think if you do a venn diagram , some of this racial resentment and hyper partisanship, there's no new area being coloured in. it's all covered by what you think already. well, also, how did they find out? did they interview the people from january the 6th? no, they interviewed people and then did

the survey of like, do you think that? yeah. so it's mind reading . yeah, it's mind reading. do you think what do you think about the accusations of january 6th? and what do you think about this question to do with affirmative action? they always say that. do you think it's unfair to white people? the thing that you're missing out here is it's massively unfair to asian people. and if there's any logic to this, january 6th should have had way more asian students . i think it's should have had way more asian students. i think it's just probably the activists at the guardian trying to racialise everything again, isn't it? i mean, let's be honest, that isn't the most interesting or important thing about the january the 6th event. >> no , i don't think it is. and, >> no, i don't think it is. and, you know, when you when you read the thing, you just think, of course, this is in the guardian. yeah. and of course the asian people are not involved. they're busy at school working. they don't have time to go to these demonstrations. it's just like the kind of lazy white people that are that are going to the thing. so what is it saying? it's saying that the people went to january 6th because the black cities had it's very tenuous, isn't it? >> so i don't think we should give it any more time. let's move on now. this is also the guardian. louis, i, i'm going to give you this story with some

dread because it's about sugar. it's about sugar. got my phone. you don't have to. >> you don't have. no. you should pay attention to this and you'd be healthier. the what they're saying is this is the guardian. you're. this is the guardian. anything in the guardian? the whole. all the whole newspapers in this country are so garbage . your brain's are so garbage. your brain's seen sugar as a ward. but does that mean it's addictive? and the answer is no sugar, isn't it? nobody's sitting there going, oh, i got to have sugar, i got sugar. what happens is, is once you have the sugar, it takes over your body and then it becomes moorish . becomes moorish. >> is that all it is? that's all. i've seen a woman eat 12 easter eggs in one sitting. >> yeah, but did you see her eat the first easter egg? and what happened? >> i must have missed that bit. why? what would have been significant about that? >> what happens is, is it. it turns down the mitochondria. it reduces the leptin. it does all these things. i've seen videos about this i haven't said, oh, i went to this university and now i know everything i've actually done the work. >> well, look, i've done the work of watching youtube, steve. it is much better than a phd. but steve sugar , of course, is but steve sugar, of course, is addictive, right? well, it comes down to the definition of what's

actually addictive. they say it's not like cocaine where you can see like the chemical pathways. yes, but if you compare it to things that we always call addictive, using social media, gambling that has an impact on you whether you like it. so you choose to do it more. the definition includes it is a thing that means you want to do it again. anything can be addictive. yeah, and that's a problem. lewis, you got addicted to winding me up. yeah might as well, because it feels good when you do that to you. >> the point is, the point is with sugar. it is actually i believe this. it is actually it isn't addictive, but it affects the body. >> okay. let's quickly go on to the independent now with a british sport that's yet to catch on in the rest of the world, steve, a man who won shin kicking world title on first try, defends crown, it's , i mean try, defends crown, it's, i mean shin kicking. it looks stupid. but to be fair , no one's been but to be fair, no one's been put in a coma through this. and yet boxing has got a bit of a problem in it. so 34 year old mike newby, who's an account director, would all have to kick one of those, he celebrates his win. he's been in training again

for the next one. he's been doing like hitting himself with hammers. he's basically misery himself . hammers. he's basically misery himself. this hammers. he's basically misery himself . this is a real thing. himself. this is a real thing. this is a the cotswolds olympic . this is a the cotswolds olympic. i don't know if the limp needs underlining because of this part, but they've got other events. they've got, tug of war, hammer throwing . they don't have hammer throwing. they don't have the dorset knob toss. which is a shame, because i'm sorry one, because if you google it , shame, because i'm sorry one, because if you google it, you'll find out that the knob is a biscuit. yes. makes even less sense . why would you throw away sense. why would you throw away a biscuit? what is the point of excelling at these stupid, self—harming sports like those idiots in gloucester who chuck themselves down hills after cheese? the cost of living crisis means, actually, that was a good piece of cheese. >> okay, why do people do it? they do it because they want to get out of the house, away from their wife. >> is that all it is? yeah. his wife goes away. his girlfriend goes with him. yeah. you know, these people, when they chuck themselves down the mountain for themselves down the mountain for the cheese, they end up with broken bones. it's ambulances at the bottom of the mountain. >> yeah, they rather they rather be doing that than have to be home. >> all right, well, let's have a shin kicking contest very soon. but anyway, that is all we've

got time for. but let's have another quick look at thursday's front pages . so the daily mail front pages. so the daily mail is leading with our eternal debt to the fallen heroes. the telegraph has got hunt issues. challenge to starmer over taxes on property. the guardian is leading with sunak lied to country over labour tax and spend plans , says starmer, the spend plans, says starmer, the times on thursday is running with will tucker tackle murder law loopholes , vow tories and law loopholes, vow tories and express has got a d—day story there eternally in their debt, and the daily star has an identical headline. those were your front pages. that is all we've got time for. thanks ever so much to my wonderful guests, steve n allen and lewis schaefer. we are back, of course, tomorrow at 11:00 with nick dixon, louis schaefer and cressida wetton . but if you're cressida wetton. but if you're watching this at 5 am. for the repeat, please do stay tuned because now it's breakfast. i can't wait . can't wait. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello! welcome to your latest gb news weather update from the

met office. tomorrow's going to be another fairly cool day across the northwest, with a risk of some further heavy showers, and we could see some further heavy showers this evening with a north westerly wind pushing showers into similar areas. it's wind pushing showers into similar areas . it's northwestern similar areas. it's northwestern scotland where we're going to see the highest rainfall totals through the next 24 hours or so. we could see a mix of hail, possibly some hill snow in there as well. we could also see some showers as far south as southwestern england overnight tonight. many western areas seeing a bit more in the way of cloud tonight compared to last night. so it will be a bit of a milder night for some of us, but i think still where skies stay the clearest, there's a risk of a rural grass frost. so potentially another chilly start for some areas , particularly for some areas, particularly across eastern scotland, where it will be a bright start to the day. plenty of early sunshine, but notice we've got some bright colours on those showers showing the heaviness of them through tomorrow morning. we could see some spray on the roads because of that. across western areas of scotland in towards north western england, as well as parts of wales, the midlands as
