for headliners. >> thank you sam. hello and welcome to headliners, your first look at saturday's top stories. joining me tonight are two delightful comedians frida kahlo fan crest at a wedding and frida nipple fan nicolas de santo. how are you both doing? >> i am not a big frida kahlo fan , right? i'm not not a fan, fan, right? i'm not not a fan, although i think the tote bags can be a bit irritating. >> is she the woman with the monobrow? yes, she is sort of noel gallagher. >> yes, yes, she was an early oasis fan . i think that was her thing. >> yeah. and that's she's just famous for having a big eyebrow. nicolas. >> yeah, that's all she did. >> yeah, that's all she did. >> yeah, that's all she did. >> yeah, well, i don't want to disparage her art, but not fan. >> but i'm not. not a fan of frida nipple movement . frida nipple movement. >> okay, well, it's friday night anyway. let's have a look at saturday's front pages. the daily mail leads with hunt warns families face £2,100 bill to pay

for labour spending . the for labour spending. the telegraph has landlords face rent caps under labour. we're going to cover that in a moment. the guardian has revealed. alcohol abuse costs soar to £27 billion a year. the times has protectionism for teachers free speech on religion. the i news has benefits. system insiders reveal how targets are used to decide disability claims. and finally , the daily star has finally, the daily star has very, very hungry caterpillars. go on the rampage. and those were your front pages . and let's were your front pages. and let's have a closer look at those front pages, starting with the times. cressida, what have they got on the cover? >> they've got protection for teachers, free speech on religion, push for change after protests and death threats. so this, is a new report from lord walney, who is the government's adviser on political violence and disruption. and he's suggesting new guidance for

schools. teachers will be given protection from claims of blasphemy by religious groups under proposals set out in this report , which is all well and report, which is all well and good. this is coming off the back of what happened at batley grammar school. a child scuffed a quran and then lots of parents protested, sent death threats. i believe the teachers are separate . separate. >> those are the wakefield incidents. it's been a few a few incidents. it's been a few a few incidents. so the batley grammar teacher, i believe he showed. did he show a cartoon or something? >> mohammed. >> mohammed. >> yeah , yeah. and they're >> yeah, yeah. and they're wrong. mohammed, you know, it's the prophet. so you know, and that's obviously, you know, a lot of people go nuts if you do that. so he had to go into hiding and he's still three years on. he's still in hiding with his family. with his family. >> yeah. which might make you think, well, this is a great idea, but i have to say, did we need new guidance or could the old laws in place have been used to stop what's already happened? yeah, i'm sure it was never okay to treat teachers like that. >> yeah, but i mean, if it if all it takes is new legislation. well, so be it. so this is an independent review commissioned

by the government. and, in the recommendations they have emphasised the fact for this to become a statutory free. so, so teachers can have legal protection against such threats and, mistreatment. >> but do you think legislation can actually deal with this issue? because, i mean, i don't think those mobs of islamists being for a teachers blood are going to be like, oh, wait a minute, we're breaking the law doing this. >> well, that is my fear. personally, if i were a teacher, i don't think i would be any more inclined to show a cartoon of mohammed after this report than before it may be. >> a better solution would be to arm teachers with ak 47 seconds. >> well, i am pro second amendment pro gun obviously in this country it's still a dream. but i've always said that yes, let's let's deal with the root of the problem and the root of the problem is when you open the borders and you bring in millions of people who have totally diverse values and modus operandi. yeah and then there we are. >> and we've got a picture of

the mohammed . oh, no, we don't, the mohammed. oh, no, we don't, anyway, moving on, let's have a look at the guardian. apparently alcohol abuse is costing england £27 billion a year. i mean, in fairness, that's the price of two rounds in london. nicolas. >> yeah? tell me about it. not that i'm a big consumer of. i'm very mediterranean in my consumption but revealed alcohol abuse costs. so up to £27 billion a year. so so this cost, has basically encompasses a variety of aspects from health related problems. so the cost on the nhs, lack of productivity , the nhs, lack of productivity, people who lose their jobs, social services and all that. and of course, it has been on the rise. 37% more, compared to last time. this was studied in 2003. so now institute of alcohol studies and some other groups are pushing or asking for tougher taxes and tougher regulation. but is that the solution? that's the dilemma. if people are libertarian or people are for personal responsibility ,

are for personal responsibility, like in ancient rome, they said in medium state virtues like moderation, virtue is in moderation, virtue is in moderation . and again, if moderation. and again, if they're going to raise the price, people like myself or yourself who are going to turn to consumers, pardon? >> you're going to turn to heroin because it will become i mean, well, this is what's happenedin mean, well, this is what's happened in scotland unaffordable. so yeah, in scotland they had minimum unit alcohol pricing. and so it pushes up the cost of . getting pushes up the cost of. getting off your tree for your average scottish ne'er do well likes to sit in a bus stop and drink a bottle of cider. so instead they're turning to street drugs which are cheaper by comparison . which are cheaper by comparison. >> that is just terrible. i like that the alcohol industry have come back on this. a guy called matt lambert, who's the chief executive of the portman group, and they represent the alcohol industry, and he says that the irs, that's the group who've who've created this have failed to take into account the significant direct economic contribution of the alcohol industry to the wider economic and social benefits of moderate and social benefits of moderate and responsible alcohol consumption . well, it's so true,

consumption. well, it's so true, isn't it? we've got a declining birth rate. we need people to get drunk and chat each other up. yeah, i'd be very sad if we drank even less. >> so do you think we need to prescribe young people alcohol to get them to. >> well, for some people, it's a lubricant, isn't it? that's all i'm saying. >> although if you are planning on having sex, please do not use alcohol. >> you know , if you don't >> you know, if you don't consume too much, if you don't get drunk, you know, i don't want to use a coarse language, but, you know, binge drinking and you are less of a man if you don't have shot after shot that needs to be tackled because it's not masculine just of the shot. >> what are you why are you not a man? >> i like how they've pointed out here. that's a great point, that the average cost per head of alcohol harm in the uk is £485 a year, rising to 562. if you live in the north east specifically says that. >> and that's interesting because you know , the north east because you know, the north east is generally less economically productive , than than the south. productive, than than the south. so, you know, so they must be really earning it. >> yeah.

>> yeah. and >> yeah. and lockdown >> yeah. and lockdown , >> yeah. and lockdown , of >> yeah. and lockdown, of course, had a huge impact on alcoholism in the uk , because alcoholism in the uk, because people were locked inside next to the fridge, which had a bottle of chablis inside it and saw their business disappear , saw their business disappear, you know, domestic abuse. >> their livelihoods and all the, you know, other opportunities for socialisation were taken away from them. yeah. that was their only joy left. >> they just had tiger king and alcohol, a terrible policy. moving to on the telegraph now, crystal, what have they got on the cover? >> landlords face rent caps under labour. boohoo, rachel reeves says there may be a case for allowing councils to set local limits . so she wants this local limits. so she wants this to be local. so the measure would mean local authorities could prevent landlords from raising rents above a set proportion every year. a similar policy, introduced in scotland by nicola sturgeon , drove by nicola sturgeon, drove landlords out of the market, reduced the supply of housing and forced up rents. yeah, everything. >> i mean, it's interesting economist s never agree on anything, but they all agree

that rent caps are an absolutely atrocious policy. if you want to increase the amount of housing and if you want to lower the price of housing, you don't introduce onerous rules and make it more difficult to be a landlord, that all the costs , landlord, that all the costs, all the burdens that get put on landlords are passed on to the tenants. nicholas. >> exactly. i mean, this is i know you are a fan of this sentence. hello. i'm from the government and i've come here to help by famously said by well, he's not a fan. >> he thinks it's the terrifying the most terrifying. >> yeah, well, ronald reagan said that's the most. yeah, the most terrifying sentence in the engush most terrifying sentence in the english language. the government can never help it can only get in the way and make things worse. woi'se. >> worse. >> at least in this area, they have tried it. in scotland, it has miserably failed. we discussed that. yeah. so we were already miserable. >> we don't need extra misery. >> we don't need extra misery. >> exactly. and now they want to try it in england, obviously making it unaffordable or , and making it unaffordable or, and basically making it more and more difficult and a hassle for landlords. so the landlord says, you know, you know what, i'm going to sell up. so there's going to sell up. so there's going to sell up. so there's going to be even less rent stock

for potential renters. so yeah, it's a no brainer. >> yeah, a no brainer, which pretty much describes all labour's economic policy. although i mean, the tories under the tories, the sort of burden on landlords they can't claim, tax relief on, on mortgage payments. you know, it's become much more difficult to be an independent landlord and a lot of landlords have been selling up. and consequently, you know, especially in london, we've seen rents go up as well. and it sort of feels like it's a push to, to, to allow corporation lie—ins and banks to, to come in and own that section of the housing market, own the rental section, or investors from overseas . investors from overseas. >> right. yeah. great point. >> right. yeah. great point. >> okay. well moving on, let's end this section with the daily star nicholas. >> so again we have something from the boffins this time insect boffins . gutsy wrigglers insect boffins. gutsy wrigglers slowly running amok in gardens. very very hungry caterpillars go on the rampage. so this looks

like a children's story gone terribly wrong, the royal horticultural society has warned that we have this new, maybe mutant version of the usual caterpillar whose chomping off leaves and greenery even faster. they warn people across, the length and breadth of britain. they say, go for pheromone traps to deter the moths when they arrive and basically protect youn arrive and basically protect your. i was already struggling against snails and slugs now. looks like. >> are you a gardener, nicholas? >> are you a gardener, nicholas? >> i'm not good at it, but. but ihave >> i'm not good at it, but. but i have a garden. isn't going to help, is it? >> do you grow food, my wife being vegetarian. i'm into flowers. like, for the visual, you know, yeah . you know, yeah. >> no, the flowers are. yeah. you don't eat flowers ? no. you don't eat flowers? no. >> because we constantly we have limited land and we constantly are fighting because she wants to be more pragmatic. right. and i know it's a red pill thing to actually grow your own food. yeah, i'm leaning towards that. but i like my flowers. >> i like to leave it to the farmers. you know, they can grow

a lot more, a much greater scale. yeah. >> farmers need all the support they can get. but we know what they can get. but we know what the net zero and the green agendais the net zero and the green agenda is doing to the farmers . agenda is doing to the farmers. so. so yeah we can't leave it to them. >> yeah. okay well look out for those caterpillars. that's the front pages out of the way. but join us in a couple of minutes for the most anti—immigration government in europe . it's not government in europe. it's not britain's and a lot of disseminated toxic waste. and that's not owen jones's twitter output . see you

welcome back to headliners. i'm neil carson. still with me are cressida wetton and nicholas de santo . and we're hosting a night santo. and we're hosting a night with the headliners live. you can join us for an evening of comedy with andrew doyle, simon evans , josh howie and myself. evans, josh howie and myself. for more information, scan the qr code on your tv right now. if you're listening on radio, don't try and scan the radio. it won't work. or you can visit

gbnews.com for more information about how you can get into this gig , i'll be about how you can get into this gig, i'll be scanning that about how you can get into this gig , i'll be scanning that later gig, i'll be scanning that later to find out how i get in. we've got the times now with the idf making a grim discovery in gaza. >> nicholas bodies of shani, luke and two other hostages recovered from gaza are, of course, a sad story. shani, luke , became tragically, an iconic, symbol and emblem of this , symbol and emblem of this, vicious attack october 7th, because she was killed in this nova music festival and she wasn't just killed. >> i mean, she was obviously, you know, horrific . exactly. you know, horrific. exactly. >> and that's how she became, the emblem of the whole attack because her body was paraded on the back of a van in gaza, and she was killed on, on, on the spot and again on the back of eurovision , an festival where eurovision, an festival where the israeli participant got so much , grief from the elite much, grief from the elite national juries and support from the actual, national voters .

the actual, national voters. this is even more significant because it reminds us what sort of people we are we are dealing with, the what makes this sadder is that the other two bodies that were found, they were there were hopes that they were still alive. but it turns out they were also killed. and this is, very tragic because right now there are tens of hostages still in captivity. yeah. israelis estimate that up to 40 of them might have been killed. in fact , might have been killed. in fact, when they are doing this, these negotiations, for ceasefire in exchange for release of hostages, israel says, how about releasing all the hostages and hamas says, how about we give you this number of bodies, you know, and it's so it's so sad that this is the time when beau biden administration, fearful of not winning the vote of, arabs and muslims in michigan in the upcoming election is putting pressure on israel, not to finish the job. and of course,

this story reminds us if they don't finish the job, what sort of people we are actually dealing. >> it's interesting you mentioned biden because we've seen in the west, there's you know, biden is dependent on votes from, from certain minority communities and also from from young woke westerners. and those are people who generally, either gloss over or openly support and celebrate the hamas attacks that shani, luke , hamas attacks that shani, luke, died in. and, i mean, i just died in. and, i mean, ijust think it's insane that we've allowed a generation to grow up with, you know, poisonous critical race theory, all these ideas of decolonisation and white supremacy. and, you know, they call israel an apartheid state. apparently, apartheid is when you build a fence so people can't behead you. >> that's right. i feel like that most of those young people, it's hard for me to understand why they don't identify with shani. luke. yeah. young woman at a festival doing what she likes . yeah. which is really likes. yeah. which is really what they're doing when they're at these protests. you know, they're living in a very western way. yeah. and i just find that utterly bizarre. and so the more

this goes on, you know, the mentions in here that the israeli defence minister is growing increasingly frustrated that this still not yet a governance plan for gaza, sort of going forward. and i think we all feel like that, don't we? it's like what's going to happen long term. >> this is a very eloquent case of how intersectionality can go wrong or short circuit, because in this premier league of victimhood that, the intersections have created, the brown man, the muslim man, the hamas terrorist who is anti—imperialist and anti—american, anti—western, anti—christian, gets such a high score of victimhood that these are happily ready to sacrifice. shani, look, the women who were at the music festival or, you know, we have couriers for hamas , know, we have couriers for hamas ' gays know, we have couriers for hamas , gays for palestine, they are happy to sacrifice all those other groups of victims because hamas scores a bigger score in terms of victimhood, because ultimately their goal of destroying the west takes precedence over their goal of

caring about lgbt in palestine or women in the middle east and the like. >> yeah , absolutely. well, we've >> yeah, absolutely. well, we've got the independent now reporting on the sunday times rich list. and it turns out that paul marshall, the gb news owner, is one of the most charitable men in britain. i guess employing us could be seen as charity. chris skudder. >> hahaha, sir elton john and sir paul marshall among the most generous on the 2024 rich list. so the 100 most philanthropic people in the uk rich list, including elton john and hedge fund managers, gave a total of £3.2 billion this year. that's a lot, isn't it? now it's going to get a bit distasteful because it's we're going to talk specifically about somebody's money, hedge fund manager sir paul marshall, who was knighted in 2016 for his charity work, secured the top spot in the sunday times giving list for giving the highest proportion of his fortune. so he's worth apparently 875 million, and he's donated 145.1 million in the last 12 months. elton john gets a mention as well. he gave away

5.7% of his 470 million fortune this year. wow so they're good guys. and not just because i'm connected to paul marshall . connected to paul marshall. >> yeah, and it's not mentioned in this article, but i was surprised to see that there's a new entry to the sunday times rich list, graham king, an essex businessman who runs the accommodation that asylum seekers are housed in. wow. and he's made so much money. so it's £3.5 million a day from the government, obviously. so from the taxpayer, so £3.5 million a day. and he is now on the rich list with a, with a net worth of £750 million. so it's good that, you know , some people are you know, some people are getting rich from the asylum disaster . disaster. >> well, well, so many people on the right have been saying this for a long time. illegal immigration and mass immigration is big business. the huge army of ngos and legal studios on legal aid. you know, i was an interpreter myself, so i'm guilty as well. but if i don't interpret, who would you know ,

interpret, who would you know, people who encourage, you know, all these ships and all these boats and millionaires and hotels who, who host them , this hotels who, who host them, this is quite, quite disconcerting. and something else that is alarming is that, sir paul marshall, among other charitable donations, has given £50 million to lse, london school of economics . yeah. admittedly, a economics. yeah. admittedly, a prestigious university known all oven prestigious university known all over, all over the world, a very woke institution. if the outcome is anything similar to the encampments we are seeing in us universities , it's quite it's a universities, it's quite it's a cause for alarm. >> yeah. and chris, there's some money well spent. some people are demanding that , there should are demanding that, there should be a systemic overhaul in the way the most wealthy are taxed. they're saying we should tax wealthy people instead of, you know, waiting for them to donate to things. i mean, i think that's ridiculous because wealthy people obviously know what to do with their money. that's how they got rich. so they're much better at allocating their money than some disinterested government apparatchik is going to be. >> i tend to agree . and what

>> i tend to agree. and what would happen if all that money was taken away? they might not make it again next year. so i'm. yeah, we're all a bit probably you agree as well don't you. >> well, and personally you know i don't believe in charity anyway because, i just don't believe in helping people anyway , we've got the mail now. and six months after his surprise win in the dutch elections, geert wilders has finally been allowed to form a government. and it's going to have europe's strictest asylum policy. >> nicholas, this is finally some good news. more than good news, a dutch politician. well the dutch pronounce it hurt. so i'm going to do that because i. i'm going to do that because i. i did some mini exchange in the netherlands. geert wilders , or netherlands. geert wilders, or wilders abandons plans for next. thatis wilders abandons plans for next. that is the, the exit of the netherlands from the eu and quran ban to seal strictest ever asylum policy that will see netherlands opt out of eu rules. >> so these were these were two compromise on the on nexit and he compromised on the quran ban to get the other policy through

which is a sensible move. >> it's a sensible move. the, the negotiations have been going for on six months. would you believe it? after he scored this historic , victory, almost a historic, victory, almost a quarter of the votes, his his freedom party won that. but these all these lefties and so—called pro opponents and defenders of democracy, when they lose , they boycott you. and they lose, they boycott you. and this is what's, what's what we've been seeing elsewhere as well. in germany, for example, you have alternative for deutschland , afd and so on. so deutschland, afd and so on. so by blocking and by not cooperating, they were hoping that he would not make it. but now this coalition of four parties have reached an agreement . they said, okay, next agreement. they said, okay, next sit. and the quran banned . more sit. and the quran banned. more unattainable. unattainable. yeah. he has even abandoned his, aspirations for becoming a prime minister at this stage. but they are going to form this government and they're going to implement these strict immigration policies. >> and chris and nicolas raises the interesting point that it's

they treated geert wilders win in a very anti—democratic way. i mean, he won a huge he won a huge mandate. he won more than 23% of the vote, which is huge in a proportional representation system. and 37 of the dutch parliament's 150 seats. so the electorate , a big swathe of the electorate, a big swathe of the electorate, a big swathe of the electorate, wanted his ideas and he ran on this, you know, this platform of these quite, you know, hardliner . they're seen as know, hardliner. they're seen as hard line. they probably won't be in a few years. and they tried to stymie him. they tried to stop him getting into government. >> you know, the rules. you can't be a populist, but it has to be democratic. which is it? we don't know. >> but also, i mean, people describe him as a populist. i mean populist. tell people what they want to hear. they say things like, oh, we're going to introduce rent caps. socialists are populists. garrett wilders is a visionary who sees where the world is going very good point. >> so do you think all this, because obviously we're talking about it now. this is making, making it look a lot less attractive to potential immigrants. right? so this is like his own little rwanda thing in that it's, it reminds me of in that it's, it reminds me of in a house. you know, the police

always say, make sure your house is secure. and as long as yours is secure. and as long as yours is a bit more secure than the one next door, you haven't really got to worry, have you? it's kind of. he's kind of doing that. >> well, that's kind of what happened with, with britain when we looked like the rwanda plan was actually going to start working. a lot of asylum seekers or illegal immigrants, fled to, to ireland because, you know, so, yeah, if you make your country more secure. but yeah, i think this is this is kind of like breaking the seal on the whole notion. we've seen, you know, as with britain, with the rwanda plan , 19 european rwanda plan, 19 european countries now want to copy britain's rwanda plan. so we're seeing with this, i think other european countries now that one country has broken the seal and stepped out first, other countries will be like, yeah, you know what? we'll have some of that. >> it's like it's p and everyone's getting a doctor's note and nobody wants to do it. >> yeah, well we've got the meal again and the government nuclear waste department is taking the advice of debt management companies and consolidating all its nuclear waste into one manageable lump sum. cressida. uk government reveals plans to bury up to 5 million tonnes of

nuclear waste in a 650 foot pit in the english countryside within the next ten years, so that sounds nice, but apparently nobody wants it near them. shock. so we don't know where it's going to be yet, new plans show that a near surface facility. so that means less than sort of two 200m below the surface could be used to hold some of the uk's less dangerous nuclear waste. but i think most people, when they thinking about where they live, they want no nuclear waste , don't they. nuclear waste, don't they. that's the amount we like the sound of. yeah, but nuclear waste is much safer than it used to be. >> it's not. it's not like chernobyl when, you know, it would erupt in a big, in a big fission reaction. >> yeah. ultimately it's about because technology has evolved. and if you handle it first, at the end of the day, we need to make a decision. we can't have our cake and eat it. we don't we don't want to be depending on russian gas. we also want to go for net zero. but we also want to, you know , scoff at nuclear to, you know, scoff at nuclear energy. so which is it going to be? >> and also coal power releases

more radiation into the environment than nuclear power, like vastly more radiation, because there's i mean, obviously it's much more dilute, but there are radioactive isotopes in coal. when it's burnt, they're released into the into the atmosphere and settle around the world. radiation the amount of radiation that an average person absorbs from nuclear energy is equivalent to eating one banana a year, which, i mean, i don't know if you panic when you eat a banana, but, you know, as long as as long as nobody's watching when i'm eating it, anyway, that's it for part, for part two. join us in a moment for a real life frankenstein. eddie izzard's promise to women and is mohammed the most popular name in britain? find

welcome back to headliners we've got the telegraph now. and bame bipoc people of colour, ethnic minority, global majority. it's so hard to keep up with the

correct racial euphemisms. as the national trust are finding out. nicholas. >> national trust under fire for changing ethnic minority to global majority again. another for natural or charity has come under fire just on the back of that story we had a few weeks ago, where wildlife and countryside link was criticised for claiming that the countryside is racist. the . countryside is racist. the. british countryside is a colonial white space. >> is that so? i saw an oak tree with a pointy white hat on so clearly. >> yeah. well, ridiculous. >> yeah. well, ridiculous. >> apparently this language is no longer helpful. they've said here i'd say it's quite. they mean. well, it just means it's no longer helpful for excluding old people. they need something. you need something new to filter out the people that can show off that they know the right words. >> yeah, well, why do they have to change the words all the time? it's like they had a beam, then they had bipoc, then they had ethnic minority, then they had ethnic minority, then they had global majority. we know why, leo. >> it's because they're inclusive, which we all know means exclude give. so you have

to keep up with the word. >> all these people in the eye department or di hires on fat salaries, somehow have to justify their existence. but it's like when your, website of your bank decides to change the shape and the format and the layout, but, more serious than that, they have been criticised for having switched from ethnic minority to global majority. this has been called divisive, patronising and all that. but maybe inadvertently, they've done something good because i, for one, have repeatedly said that white people are a global minority and therefore they deserve protection and preservation , not least in their preservation, not least in their own ancestral homeland. so it's about time ludacris wake up and decide that white people are being replaced in their own homelands, and something needs to be done about it. >> well, of course, a lot of people, you know, in the green party and whatever would say, yeah, but that's a good thing. so so but they can they can be

preservationists , right? preservationists, right? >> we are, after all, even in the, in the field of conservation and preservation. yeah. and what is most worthy of preservation than the race that has created all the civilisation and the television on which we are appearing right now. there was a scottish man, a scottish man invented the television . man invented the television. >> i think that was the last, the last good thing a scottish person did. anyway, we've got the sun now, and if you don't like your body, doctors can give you a zembic or liposuction. and no one doctor can give you a completely new body. chris skudder . skudder. >> excellent, maverick surgeon wants to transplant living human head onto a dead body, that's just. i mean, what can you say? it's terrifying, after critics in the us objected to his plan to graft a living human head onto the body of a recently deceased donor, italian neurosurgeon , sergio cannavaro. neurosurgeon, sergio cannavaro. am i saying cannavaro or cannavaro? thank you. move to china , but then his volunteer china, but then his volunteer fell in love. i don't really see what that's got to do with it. this person had a terrible

disease. but then two things happened.the disease. but then two things happened. the disease halted, and they learn to cope with their symptoms. and it wasn't getting any worse. but it also says this person fell in love and got married. now, why would that stop you? >> well, because it was a risky operation . operation. >> yeah, yeah, well, now you've got something more to live for. yeah, like you wouldn't want a thing if you're, you know, if you're a single man, you might be like, yeah, why not take my head off and graft it onto somebody else's dead body? >> but if you've got a wife, she's probably going to be like, listen , you know, this idea had listen, you know, this idea had your mates having your head , your mates having your head, like, all the fun, i love that. >> brilliant. well, anyway, he's been it's been trying. apparently people have done this in other that they've put another head on a dog and that lasted for two weeks and minuses as well. >> so they weren't human heads though, as you point out, and apparently with the dogs, it was quite successful. one of the grafted on heads tried to bite doctor. >> so i think that's fair. if you'd put a second head on me, i'd be a bit nippy. >> yeah , well, it was the >> yeah, well, it was the second. the first head didn't didn't seem to mind so much. but

yeah, they've done head transplants in over 30 rhesus monkeys, they were sort of successful, which isn't the kind of language i want to hear when i'm going into surgery, and that the monkeys lived for a couple of weeks . i the monkeys lived for a couple of weeks. i mean, i really want to live for a bit longer than that. >> yeah, but even if you look at the seismic watershed moment, the seismic watershed moment, the first ever human heart transplant, the person didn't live that long, right? but it was a watershed moment. and this is a stuff of nightmares . i hope is a stuff of nightmares. i hope people are watching it on the 5:00 repeat show. yeah, but it has been done with monkeys. it has been done with monkeys. it has been done with. >> it's called the heaven procedure . procedure. >> and also, you could get some muscly guy who looks brilliant in speedos and stuff, and he. and then you get your head on his body and you've got holy. >> like in bridget jones diary. she cuts her head out and puts it on kate moss's body on the fridge. brilliant. >> yeah, that's real surgery in 2024, moving on. we've got the guardian now with a story about baby names. is mohammed the most popular one? nicholas, mohammed

has been the second most popular one. but on some months it has been the most popular one. >> and i think it's got different spellings. exactly. so if you had if you had together all the different spellings, then is the most popular one, which is fantastic because it means britain's diverse, which is a strength which means they. >> well, i would disagree with that, but it shows the great replacement is wrong. >> it's a scientific formula. diversity equals strength. everybody knows that. >> well, tell that to people in baltimore or yugoslavia. but but that's another very surprised to see this name here. >> leo. leo is you're the only one i know is a nice name. >> well, yeah. when i was, when i was at school, i was the only, trust me, in a school in scotland. >> i was the only leo. you know what i mean? >> yeah, yeah, nothing. scotland, probably. there's also a geographical distinction here, but let me read the title to have fulfilled my contractual obligation. olivia and noah, still most popular baby names in england and wales. so the idea is not much has changed year to yeah is not much has changed year to year. so we have olivia . we have

year. so we have olivia. we have ihave year. so we have olivia. we have i have a problem with this. you write it in this country , amelia write it in this country, amelia or amelia, but some people read it . amelia. yeah, okay. i have it. amelia. yeah, okay. i have i'm a fan of standard amelia starting with e, then you have isla, then have ava, which is supposed to be ava. i would say so again. yeah but then we have more european names coming in, like nova for girls, and, luca leo for vauxhall nova was a british car. >> pardon? it was a british car. >> pardon? it was a british car. >> yeah, but it's very popular in scandinavia. oh, really ? in scandinavia. oh, really? yeah. that's very. well, that's where it's coming up. >> i think corners very well . >> i think corners very well. >> i think corners very well. >> it hasn't been mentioned here, but for the second decade, consecutively the least popular name for boys is gaylord . name for boys is gaylord. >> well, as long as there's some gaylord kids getting through, anyway, we've got the telegraph now, and eddie izzard says he won't play any straight female roles, which is a shame, because he'd make a great pat butcher cressida eddie izzard interview i won't play a straight female

role. >> it would be taking from others. >> well, i'll see you look like a man. i mean, that's the real issue, isn't it? >> he is strong and beautiful. she is strong and beautiful. look very much like yours. yes yes, she she she. so the comedian plans to play every character in hamlet, dismantle the myth of masculinity and win a seat at the next election. that's so eddie izzard, isn't it? what is it, like, 40,000 marathons in a week? what are you going to do? i'm going to do all the roles in hamlet, and then i'm going to become a politician. okay, so this is a kind of a little jaunt through eddie slash. susie's life, susie has teamed up with her brother mark, who's adapted shakespeare's longest tragedy into a 2.5 hour solo show in which izzard plays not only the dane, but also his mother, his lover and every other role , to lover and every other role, to which does sound a bit narcissistic. but on the other hand, i mean narcissistic trans person . person. >> it's never happened before. >> it's never happened before. >> and the stand up comedian so. >> and the stand up comedian so. >> right , >> and the stand up comedian so. >> right, right. >> right, right. >> exactly. well, good luck to her. i mean, it sounds like a lot of work . lot of work. >> how are you, bigot? nicholas, what do you make of this?

>> well, i mean, it's an acting at the end of the day about performing as someone you are not. i mean, it's nice of him that he has decided not to steal , a role from other women. but we know a lot of comics . excuse we know a lot of comics. excuse me? a lot of actors and actresses have got, you know , actresses have got, you know, beef. because why are you voicing a black person? but you are not black in family guy cartoon series in the us, why aren't you jewish? but you're acting as someone who is jewish, and, you know, so . so all that. and, you know, so. so all that. i think we need to put that to rest and just go for the person who is the most suitable. >> and, and i'd like to see as a as a proud trans woman, i am still willing to be cast in female roles. so if somebody wants to put me as the love interest opposite tom cruise or something, i'm, you know, i think i'd be great. >> and you were cast in a rather ambiguous role in the song i'd like to marry gary. >> there was nothing ambiguous about that . it was very stunning about that. it was very stunning and brilliant. anyway, that's the section finished, but join us for our final portion of the

craziest news in tomorrow's papers with miracles, aliens , papers with miracles, aliens, robot dogs, and a beetle called hitler. see you in

welcome back to the final section of headliners. we've got the mail now, and the vatican has announced new rules for authenticating miracles. cressida, vatican announces new rules to authenticate miracles. >> the vatican has radically reformed its process for evaluating alleged visions of the virgin mary, weeping statues and so on, so the they nowadays they're saying word about apparitions or weeping madonnas travels quickly and actually can cause harm to the faith. if hoaxers are trying to make money off people's beliefs. so i think they're saying the internet has caused a problem. having said that, they believe in the old ones from 1500 and something i don't quite know why why they justify those, and also miracles

are very for good business. they get more people converting if there's been a miracle. >> really? yeah. >> really? yeah. >> well, i think there has been a proliferation of these sightings or miracles or people who have claimed that. yeah, i've seen the stigmata or i've seen the weeping statue. i've seen the weeping statue. i've seen the weeping statue. i've seen the apparition of mary. so the church is taking a more, you know, how can i put it , know, how can i put it, selective. selective or rather, they are to, to use a christian, metaphor, there , maybe washing metaphor, there, maybe washing their hands off in a way , their hands off in a way, because the criteria is washing their hands and their hands are coming off, not washing their hands so hard , washing their hands so hard, washing their hands so hard, washing their hands off. but by that, i mean, they're going to say we are going to evaluate these cases. and it is not required for us to say, okay, this is definitively and definitely a miracle, but we

are going to issue what is called nihil obstat . it's called nihil obstat. it's a latin term, obviously non committal, doctrinal green light, which means there is nothing about the event that is contrary to the faith, and therefore catholics can express devotion to it. but we are not going to openly declare this as a miracle. okay, so for example , a miracle. okay, so for example, there's this place in bosnia, where i've been actually mid yugoslavia, where there has been a sighting of an apparition of, of, of mary. so the church hasn't recognised it, but hasn't also expressed itself against the pilgrimage. that actually does happen because it's very close also to croatia. a lot of tourists go there. so you can still sell more fridge magnets even without the church fridge magnets be without without miracles . miracles. >> also, how big are catholic fridges? they're pretty big, the meal now, and i didn't know this about the beatles, but apparently one of them was named after hitler. nicholas. >> yeah, this is a fascinating story on so many levels , brown story on so many levels, brown beatles must be called hitler.
