going to stick the rules, going to stick to the rules, it'll a strict one. the rules it'll be a strict one. the rules are that don't to do are that you don't get to do this yeah that you're this praying. yeah that you're however phrased the however they phrased it, the showing your religious faith showing of your religious faith will curtailed. will be in some way curtailed. you it then the mum you knew about it then the mum still sues. and here's the best bit. the mum has another bit. the mum also has another child to go to this child who's going to go to this school and there's another court case we found the case where i think we found the mega yeah, yeah. mega karen. yeah, yeah. >> know this is happening >> if you know this is happening that extraordinary they that is extraordinary that they have is one of the have made and this is one of the most oversubscribed schools in the it's state school the country. it's a state school which achieves results that the country. it's a state school whiof achieves results that the country. it's a state school whiof privatees results that the country. it's a state school whiof private schools; that the country. it's a state school whiof private schools would lot of private schools would absolutely for. yeah. absolutely kill for. yeah. it's incredibly successful with its children, with its pupils. it's not just about strictness , not not just about strictness, not just about morals. their their gcse grades are off the scale . gcse grades are off the scale. and she wants of that. and and she wants all of that. and yet still wants interfere yet she still wants to interfere with how the place is run. the mother i'm talking about. with how the place is run. the moyeah.m talking about. with how the place is run. the moyeah. so alking about. with how the place is run. the moyeah. so these, about. with how the place is run. the moyeah. so these, muslim >> yeah. so these, muslim pupils, to this pupils, wanted to go to this school a set of rules school that had a set of rules that made it successful and prosper , and then once they were prosper, and then once they were there, they wanted to change those rules. yeah. and i just i wonder if there's some sort of

parallel , but the interest. parallel, but the interest. >> i know what you're saying, but reason these rules are but the reason these rules are imposed is, in fact, largely for the other muslim the benefit of other muslim pupils who don't want to have to feel they need to go to feel that they need to go to prayer five times a day, that there is some kind of that the peer pressure. so do you see what i mean? it's like it's not like i mean, there's like a muslim majority within that school are with the school that are happy with the michaela school that are happy with the michaekeep religion out education. >> absolutely . >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> guardian leo, the guardian has , sort of the, tory divisions has, sort of the, tory divisions exposed as sunak smoking ban moves a step closer, the mps vote for the smoking ban, despite the tories division over the policy, so rishi sunak has suffered a blow to his authority as 57 of his own mps voted against his plan and over 100 abstained. i mean, it still went through , 383 to 67, in favour of through, 383 to 67, in favour of the prime minister's plan to make it illegal for anyone born in 2009 or later to buy tobacco products in the uk. it's a weird

thing for rishi sunak to push through. i mean, the tories used to be seen as the, you know, party of libertarian economics and also sort of libertarian, values for a, you know, for, for a bit after, you know, the 70s or so, and for, so for this sort of draconian law where it's quite a nanny state. yeah. law saying, oh, you're not ever going to be allowed to smoke. i mean, they should do this with, with hard drugs and ban hard drugs, then nobody would use hard you know. hard drugs, you know. >> but then they argue. >> but then but then they argue. i think you made a really good point there that i think even liz trusted in an interview with saying seems quite babyish, saying it seems quite babyish, telling people that can't telling people that they can't smoke. we'll finish that sentence with marijuana and you've just argued against yourself. that , you yourself. it's odd that, you know, pick a side on it. it's how i'd feel. you think how i'd feel. either you think you able to do you should be able to do everything or we should restrict. >> it's interesting. there's a chap twitter called chap i follow on twitter called post—liberal he says, post—liberal pete and he says, i think correctly, that it's people it people don't even register it consciously. things , consciously. but some things, some drugs like, are some drugs if you like, are coded and some are coded coded right and some are coded left tobacco . so being allowed left tobacco. so being allowed to tobacco right.

to smoke tobacco is coded right. that's wing policy and that's a right wing policy and marijuana coded left. marijuana is coded left. and there's reversal lately there's been a reversal lately where which reflects the degree to liberal, you know, to which left liberal, you know, capture of institutions and our general sort of what we consider to be like default morality is that marijuana is actually we've been a bit draconian about that. but tobacco, they're coming down on the it's also class cody gakpo. there's no question about it. most people who still smoke tobacco are, you know, they definitely . definitely. >> well, the system is definitely going to it's definitely going to it's definitely going to legalise marijuana because it makes people apathetic and less prone to challenging the system. whereas, you know, they'll stop a man, they'll crush the little man who wants to smoke some crack and fight system . crack and fight the system. >> before we leave >> wasn't they? before we leave this you the best this story, can you say the best thing's to happen in the thing's going to happen in the future where someone aid future where someone gets aid checks yeah future where someone gets aid cheas. yeah future where someone gets aid cheas the yeah future where someone gets aid cheas the age yeah future where someone gets aid cheas the age goes yeah future where someone gets aid cheas the age goes up,ah future where someone gets aid cheas the age goes up, well, >> as the age goes up, well, people will be getting their granddad buy granddad to go in and buy tobacco. i mean, this will happen. absolutely mean, happen. it's absolutely i mean, it's obviously ridiculous. it might phase, it's obviously ridiculous. it might so phase, it's obviously ridiculous. it might so ridiculous phase, it's obviously ridiculous. it might so ridiculous and 1ase, but it's so ridiculous and unworkable. even jacinda ahern,

you on it. you know, backed down on it. right. or or down or whatever her name is, we will be the laughing think the laughing stock. i think of the world anyway , ending with this world anyway, ending with this section, the daily star, steve, the, lettuce. >> liz. plucky daily star lettuce is part of the evil london elite. she's been asked in various interviews about the lettuce because, you know, it's the thing that hangs around her neck. it lasted than neck. it lasted longer than she did. london did. she said it was london elite, a cabal of london elitists. no, they're not the people who read the daily star. i'd surely not. i don't hang out with a lot of london liberal elites, but i don't think their daily specifically about the lettuce. >> yeah , she said the letter was >> yeah, she said the letter was a function the elite. a function of the elite. >> the which she's >> yes, the way in which she's being thing being attacked. the thing i think strange about that. she being attacked. the thing i tithink strange about that. she being attacked. the thing i tithink sheange about that. she being attacked. the thing i tithink she mightbout that. she being attacked. the thing i tithink she might have:hat. she being attacked. the thing i tithink she might have somerhe being attacked. the thing i tithink she might have some sort i think she might have some sort ofissue i think she might have some sort of issue needs looking of issue that needs looking into. you think everyone who into. if you think everyone who disagrees formed disagrees with you has formed a coalition, you the coalition, you know, the anti—growth coalition. they're ganging up against me. yeah, yeah, when questioned yeah, she said when questioned about being pm. she i was about being pm. she says i was facing impossible task. yeah. facing an impossible task. yeah. no ever managed to be the no one's ever managed to be the prime before . prime minister before. >> well, will say devil's >> well, i will say devil's advocate. maybe but perhaps

being the victim of effectively a coup after about six weeks in power. yeah. might give you a, you know, some justifiable access to paranoid suspicions about people ganging up on you. yeah. >> she could have headed off that coup by funding if she noficed that coup by funding if she noticed all these tax cuts. she didn't say how she's going to fund like come in like fund them. like come in like javier he have javier milei. he doesn't have a tax he's like, i'm tax cut. first he's like, i'm getting afuera. i'm getting the volume. communists. getting afuera. i'm getting the volume. communists . and volume. useless communists. and like that. how come like he did that. how come argentina milei and argentina gets javier milei and we liz truss? we get liz truss? >> is a very good question. >> that is a very good question. those are the front pages fronted in two. we have fronted up in part two. we have the failure of world's

i >> -- >> and welcome back to headliners. i'm simon evans with me, leo kearse steve and alan to look at tomorrow's newspapers . look at tomorrow's newspapers. so we kick off leo with a big story for the gb news crowd in the express as brussels sprouts state interference in free speech, etc. >> very nicely done . so yeah, >> very nicely done. so yeah, this is about the national conservative conference in brussels that was shut down with a siege by the police and the brussels official, the mayor of brussels, tried cancel brussels, who tried to cancel the conference. the while nigel farage was on actually hosted an ultra radical iranian politician. so this is socialist philip close or close? probably because it's closer to play for germany. he pressured the venue hosting natcon to shut the event

down. but last year he hosted the mayor of the iranian caphal the mayor of the iranian capital, at the brussels town hall. and this, i mean , he's not hall. and this, i mean, he's not just a mayor in iran. he's a serious guy. he's been placed under sanctions by the uk because involved in the because he's involved in the commission human commission of serious human rights violations or rights violations, violations or abuses you know , abuses in iran where, you know, the authorities have been shooting women for for, shooting young women for for, not wearing headdresses. >> so just just for people who might be fully to speed might not be fully up to speed with itself, what was with the story itself, what was the of the national the nature of the national conservative conference and why were closed do you were they closed down? do you think so? >> w- think so? >> the national >> basically, the national conservative conference was a conservative conference was a conservative conference was a conservative conference with speakers nigel farage speakers such as nigel farage and, suella there suella was, i believe, also matt goodwin. yeah, so, you know, actual real conservatives as opposed to, you know, the conservative party in the uk, which is basically the labour party from five years ago and the national conservative conference they're particularly concerned about immigration and especially immigration. especially illegal immigration. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> this is this has been a huge thing europe. so, you thing across europe. so, you know, seen big tilt to know, we've seen a big tilt to the across europe as the right across europe as they've of woken the

they've sort of woken up to the reality of their idealistic policies around just policies around, around not just immigration, but also gender ideology kinds ideology and all kinds of things. left are things. and the left are authoritarian. been authoritarian. so they've been trying out , even even trying to stamp out, even even in germany, they've been talking about just de—listing just not allowing right wing parties, to run , and, you know, they're run, and, you know, they're basically authoritarian communist. they're trying to stop people having a conference to discuss pretty mainstream and well supported issues. these aren't, you know, forming mouthed radicals. this this conference. this is this is mainstream politicians . mainstream politicians. >> well, she was the home secretary until not recently , secretary until not recently, not long ago. go on, well, i two things. i mean, suppose this, things. i mean, i suppose this, tehran mayor also might be keen on the issue of immigration. might have a finger on that one. i want to know whether he's still got his natwest bank account, because that'd be fun. that be icing that would really be the icing on for the on this one's cake. but for the general i mean, i might general story, i mean, i might not with kind of not agree with the kind of things are said in this things that are said in this conference, don't think conference, but i don't think shutting down. never shutting it down. you never win an by refusing to an argument by refusing to take place the argument, alone place in the argument, let alone not to

not allowing the argument to even exist. doesn't seem even exist. that doesn't seem like to do it. my only like the way to do it. my only complaint would national complaint would be national conservative conference, when it's international get you. >> i mean, that was that they had won. it was only last year, wasn't it, at the natural history museum, which i got confused national confused between national history museum natural history museum and natural conservative, and it all became a fuzzy. as as a bit fuzzy. but as this, as this an this being expanded into an international , or is it international movement, or is it just taking is it on like on holiday, like on the buses and you know, dads, you know, and they go, oh no, let's sit one in brussels, that'll be a bit different. >> you're going. >> you're going. >> yeah. they're going to make being right wing illegal. yeah this is the way i mean you laugh but they're already doing it. the police, directed by a left wing politician. the mayor of brussels shut down a conservative conference. they're going to make it illegal, whereas they're going to try and shut down gb news. they're going to and shut any any to try and shut down any any right voice on the internet right wing voice on the internet . taking control of all . they're taking control of all aspects part of aspects and every, every part of society. we're just gradually ratcheting , encroaching into, ratcheting, encroaching into, into communism. >> whereas they said, and

somebody pointed this out on twitter today, that viktor orban, is very much the sort orban, who is very much the sort of bogeyman of this mindset, allowed a conference, you know, like denying him, defying him, criticising him to take place in budapest. there was no budapest, no , but yeah, budapest. it is no, but yeah, budapest. it is budapest in hungary. yeah, there was no attempt to close that down. you know, he allows you might say he might, you know, they might all get home and later on there'll be a knock on the door, i don't know. but anyway, telegraph now leo scott's applied scott's police have applied a fairly filter on hate. fairly strong filter on hate. >> yeah. so only two hate crime reports out of 7000 have been pursued by the scottish police under the new hate crime law that came through in april the 1st. so yeah, there are ist. so yeah, there are thousands of calls flooding in, almost all have been dismissed as critics attacked the as critics have attacked the extra upon police extra burden placed upon police officers in scotland. so 7000 complaints and around about half were against humza yousaf, the first minister, who's actually the architect of this, this law

when he was justice minister and who went on a sort of anti—white rant in the scottish parliament. so is then seen as being, this racist, so yeah, but the police scotland went through them. they identified 240 offences, decided that only nine of these were worth being investigated, and all but two of the nine investigations have been dismissed. and so the two that are left are some football fans singing a song, a sectarian song , some anti—semitic graffiti , and some anti—semitic graffiti that in buchanan that was seen in buchanan street. and, this is this has come at a huge and insane cost. we're looking at, you know, overall , we're looking at the overall, we're looking at the cost of millions. if we're talking about the overtime bill for the police to deal with all these complaints and also the government spent hundreds of thousands promoting thousands of pounds promoting it, which i'm sure they're very grateful to english taxpayers for . for funding. >> steve, what do you think? is it is it likely to carry on in this vein, or do you think it's just little bit of blowing the just a little bit of blowing the froth off at the beginning? >> there'll be >> no, i think there'll be there'll slight uptick. there'll be a slight uptick. i

mean, two hate crimes, out mean, only two hate crimes, out of all of those reported. but that's you've not of all of those reported. but that'sback you've not of all of those reported. but that'sback over you've not of all of those reported. but that'sback over the you've not of all of those reported. but that'sback over the border�* not of all of those reported. but that'sback over the border yet, been back over the border yet, have so soon as you go have you? so as soon as you go over there, all of sudden over there, all of a sudden there'll increase. there'll be a slight increase. but about the wording, but it's all about the wording, isn't badly isn't it? it's such a badly defined law that this defined law that most of this seems to be the interpretation of the police is required. no, seems to be the interpretation of tineedlice is required. no, seems to be the interpretation of tineed the is required. no, seems to be the interpretation of tineed the words|ired. no, seems to be the interpretation of tineed the words ind. no, seems to be the interpretation of tineed the words in theio, seems to be the interpretation of tineed the words in the law. you need the words in the law. so know, if you're breaking so you know, if you're breaking it i suppose it or not. yeah. and i suppose if a law that's badly if you have a law that's badly worded, people worded, is it to scare people away from so that, oh, away from it so that, oh, i don't know whether i'm breaking a something, a law by saying something, so i'll that's bit i'll say nothing. that's a bit more i just can't help more sinister. i just can't help the two main things that i think are about it yes, are sinister about it that, yes, that shifted to a sort of that it has shifted to a sort of subjective of subjective appreciation of whether somebody might have felt that hate and that there was hate in play, and also takes place in your also that it takes place in your own home. >> is the thing, if >> and this is the thing, if kids start, you know, dobbing in their find they can kids start, you know, dobbing in thethat. find they can kids start, you know, dobbing in thethat. i find they can kids start, you know, dobbing in thethat. i mean, find they can kids start, you know, dobbing in thethat. i mean, it'sd they can kids start, you know, dobbing in thethat. i mean, it's onezy can kids start, you know, dobbing in thethat. i mean, it's one ofcan kids start, you know, dobbing in thethat. i mean, it's one of the do that. i mean, it's one of the major tenets of all the great dystopian novels from 1984 onwards that children are horrifically, recruited onwards that children are horrithis.ly, recruited onwards that children are horrithis.ly, of recruited onwards that children are horrithis.ly, of thinguited onwards that children are horrithis.ly, of thing , ted onwards that children are horrithis.ly, of thing , you into this kind of thing, you know, and they love it well. know, and they love it as well. >> the cultural >> the chinese cultural revolution, you know, nazis revolution, you know, the nazis we threat calling child we used to threat calling child guided by aliens in 400 years time. >> so we just had the threat of

>> something from the give you the dictionary. >> something from the give you the sad dictionary. >> something from the give you the sad news.ionary. >> something from the give you the sad news. now y. >> something from the give you the sad news. nowy. our senior >> sad news. now for our senior citizens, nicholas parsons citizens, as nicholas parsons always to them. always used to refer to them. leo. they're living in deprivation, and deprivation, squalor, misery and filth. which keir filth. all of which keir starmer, going starmer, of course, is going to fix. but meantime , so fix. but in the meantime, so nearly uk pensioners nearly i million uk pensioners are in deprivation, are living in deprivation, official figures show, in a separate report suggests that the number of people living in poverty aged between 60 and pension age has tripled under the tories . pension age has tripled under the tories. but this, you pension age has tripled under the tories . but this, you know, the tories. but this, you know, it's like, what is poverty? you think of poverty, you think of people scratching around in a in a shanty in calcutta or a shanty slum in calcutta or something. no, basically in the uk, they measure poverty uk, because they measure poverty is relative measure. it's is a relative measure. it's like, you know, oh, you've only got bill gates has got 98% of what bill gates has got. you're got. you're in, you're in poverty. you know this this is nonsense. be. i was nonsense. people can be. i was in poverty and i didn't realise i was in poverty. i thought i had plenty of money. that's that's how poverty now that's how poverty works. now it's have it's like you don't have a speedboat and your mate's your neighbour's oh, neighbour's got a speedboat. oh, you're it's you're in poverty. it's ridiculous . also this, you're in poverty. it's ridiculous. also this, this ridiculous. and also this, this bit. the number of people bit. so the number of people over 60 living poverty who over 60 living in poverty who are eligible for a state are not yet eligible for a state

pension tripled since pension has tripled since the conservatives in conservatives came to power in 2010. we'll job. well, 2010. we'll get a job. well, i love 60. they actually say 60. you're not 94. get a job. >> it says here this is interesting . it says a lot of interesting. it says a lot of people who and the government assumes that people in their early and mid 60s can keep working earning just like working and earning just like those their 20s. well, no , i those in their 20s. well, no, i mean, that's not new, right? that's a basic. and then it goes this is true for lots of people. and we should celebrate those who defy harmful ageist stereotypes. this is stereotypes. but this is like you get to retire at 65. that's been the case in if anything , been the case in if anything, people are much fitter, or at least they have the opportunity to be fitter and healthier. they're less to have they're much less likely to have rickets or, you know , rickets or polio or, you know, they may have got diabetes and i'm dismissing that of i'm not dismissing that sort of thing , but computers now, you thing, but computers now, you can a computer and move can sit at a computer and move a mouse around. can sit at a computer and move a mo absolutely. your hands still work. >> now, do mm- mm— m m with you. you >> now, i do agree with you. you overstated it. but it's true. the relative measure of poverty just always just allows people to always stay people stay that it's always people will as will always be in poverty as long as it is measured as a differential from the norm.

right? | differential from the norm. right? i mean, steve, you may have a different view just because it also talks about people over the pensionable age who poverty. who are in poverty. >> i just i want to >> and i just i just want to annoy people. i'll get some annoy people. so i'll get some really with really well written tweets with proper of proper punctuation. get rid of the triple is a system the triple lock. it is a system that in outliers and that factors in outliers and then them baked in. then leaves them baked in. mathematically it is a silly system, but it you an system, but it gets you an extraordinary amount of resentment young people resentment now from young people who be able buy who will never be able to buy their home they their own home when they see you have going have their their taxes going to pay have their their taxes going to pay pensioners who live in vast and landed estates and also inequality just quickly. >> is a great thing. >> inequality is a great thing. if there's inequality, you if there's no inequality, you don't opportunity to be don't have the opportunity to be better people. better than other people. >> own gordon gekko, >> our very own gordon gekko, we're through the we're halfway through after the break. deep fake break. we have deep fake photographer. sorry, not photography, pornography. photographer. sorry, not photo get»hy, pornography. photographer. sorry, not photo get those rnography. photographer. sorry, not photo get those mixed 3hy. photographer. sorry, not photo get those mixed up. often get those mixed up spanish, korean, german warfare . spanish, korean, german warfare. which way? western man. it's all coming

and welcome back to headliners. so we have deep fake pornography news. now, steve, in the times and a subtle difference between creation and sharing. >> yes, creating deepfake pornography vie to be a criminal offence. so now i actually have to film those scenes. i'm going to film those scenes. i'm going to have to stretch first. the new legislation will punish those who digitally alter and spread the explicit images. you're right actually, that to really the law, you have really trigger the law, you have to be distributing all for to be distributing them all for the to be impacted by it, the victim to be impacted by it, aware of it. >> so i suppose the key is if

you create it, then somehow it gets shared accidentally or through else's agency through somebody else's agency and they work out that it was you that created it, you'll you that that created it, you'll be in trouble. obviously, if you can it your own can create it on your own computer nobody knows about computer and nobody knows about it, yourself have it, knock yourself out, have a great time. >> and then delete >> you're wrong and then delete it afterwards. of it it afterwards. get rid of it from the recycle as well from the recycle bin as well afterwards. fact, maybe afterwards. in fact, maybe install cleaners. install one of those cleaners. that file that means you destroy the file rather. why i'm rather. i don't know why i'm telling do this. you can telling you to do this. you can just a seagate hard drive just buy a seagate hard drive and it'll destroy all your and then it'll destroy all your data nine months. data after about nine months. so deepfake pornography , just so deepfake pornography, just so we're clear, is a celebrity usually whose face gets sort of mapped onto some actual pornography. >> is that right ? pornography. >> is that right? yeah. >> is that right? yeah. >> is that right? yeah. >> i mean, it can be a celebrity, but i think this this law also is that if you're doing it specifically to attack a person effectively, it could be the action of a stalker. but there loads of celebs the there are loads of celebs in the article. reality star cally jane beech the article , and the beech is in the article, and the picture that they use of her has a picture credit of splash news. i didn't they had such i didn't realise they had such specific page was cathy specific website page was cathy newman, host of channel 4 news

of course, who famously had a brutalising encounter with jordan peterson years ago. jordan peterson a few years ago. >> know whether that is >> i don't know whether that is represented graphic form. >> can't wait to watch her one. one. >> one. >> so what you're saying, leo? anyway telegraph now and workplace ? or is workplace discrimination? or is this closer to blasphemy laws? >> so you're saying you're a non—feminist at work? could be an act of discrimination , an act of discrimination, according to tribunal, so this is a tribunal against this guy, mr legg, who alleged that he lost his job after resisting what he claimed was his female boss's agenda to promote women instead of men , so he worked at instead of men, so he worked at this agency for 16 years and argued that feminism was a belief system that he did not adhere to, and that as a result, he was treated less fairly by his manager before being sacked and against him. the and the ruling against him. the employment that employment judge suggested that him holding these views could be in breach of equality laws . in breach of equality laws. however, you read on a bit further and it turns out he was fired for moonlighting in contravention of his contract, and i think, back and then i think, fired back with this, know, claim

with this, you know, claim against yeah, against this. against the. yeah, against this. so know, it's but is so you know, it's but it is worrying that judges said, worrying that the judges said, oh, believe this, if you oh, if you believe this, if you don't to new don't adhere to this new religion of feminism, you religion of feminism, then you know, blasphemer. we're know, you're a blasphemer. we're going to lead you into the torture chamber and show you the rack and it's really hard to unpick the story, isn't it? >> he's saying the judges >> and he's saying the judges said does believe that being said he does believe that being against , not believing against feminism, not believing in a genuine that in it is a genuine position that this holds . in it is a genuine position that this holds. but it's not to this man holds. but it's not to be taken as a serious or weighty belief or something. yeah. >> so he says that he's sure that this this guy believes that. yeah, but yeah , this is a that. yeah, but yeah, this is a not weighty, almost as if saying that there's nothing to argue against because the judge defines equality for defines feminism as equality for all. so how can you be against that without being discriminatory ? but you're discriminatory? but you're right. it all comes down to the fact he moonlighting as a fact he was moonlighting as a councillor. surely he councillor. this is surely he was making money, so was was making money, so he was claiming full hours was making money, so he was clairthen full hours was making money, so he was clairthen the full hours was making money, so he was clairthen the day,.l hours was making money, so he was clairthen the day, beings was making money, so he was clairthen the day, being a and then during the day, being a councillor, presuming councillor, i'm presuming to let divorce dudes. probably divorce dudes. they probably want you want a great council. if you straight out a divorce , get straight out of a divorce, get someone who goes. i'll tell you

who's blame feminists. who's to blame on the feminists. they'd a mint. it'll they'd be making a mint. it'll be great. >> it'll be with videos >> it'll be on zoom with videos of him an aston martin of him driving an aston martin down in dubai, north korea. now, steve, they've been quiet for a while, but this in the times could propel them back to the top of the evil hot 100. >> yeah, north korea using genetic in bio genetic engineering in bio biological weapons program. is this really what kim jong un should be getting his top scientists doing? copying bioweapons ? i mean, he's got at bioweapons? i mean, he's got at least one team copying ozempic, but the reclusive state has the capability to bacteria , capability to produce bacteria, viruses, toxins. it's anthrax. smallpox. that part of the article . yeah, yeah. scary light article. yeah, yeah. scary light sprays and pens and stuff. the important bit, though, is the un's panel of experts issues, a report which countries are report on which countries are breaking sanctions and whatnot, report on which countries are breethey sanctions and whatnot, report on which countries are breethey won't ons and whatnot, report on which countries are breethey won't be; and whatnot, report on which countries are breethey won't be doing vhatnot, report on which countries are breethey won't be doing vh soon, but they won't be doing it soon because as their mandate won't because as their mandate won't be because russia has be renewed, because russia has blocked it at the un, which this is the important part of the story. this is china, russia, iran, north korea. i'm calling them the crank that's them the crank nations. that's not on. i've done it not catching on. i've done it three times on this china,

russia, iran, north korea, nice crank crank nations. >> although you could call them nuke and make the korea like silent . silent. >> and also that's the democratic republic. you know, you could have put all those in. i'll work on that later. yeah. but needs bringing up all but this needs bringing up all the they are the time because they are ganging is using ganging up. russia is using nonh ganging up. russia is using north korean, weapons. north korean, yes, weapons. and because now there's not because of this, now there's not going to be the restriction on nonh going to be the restriction on north korea making some of these biological weapons. >> it's is interesting isn't >> it's it is interesting isn't it? major factors of it? one of the major factors of the one of the major symptoms of the one of the major symptoms of the cold war the use of the cold war was the use of proxy and so on, the way proxy nations and so on, the way that you could never exactly point at russia and point your finger at russia and 90, point your finger at russia and go, done that. seems go, you've done that. this seems to again. now, proxy to be building again. now, proxy operations, obviously to be building again. now, proxy operaands, obviously to be building again. now, proxy operaand lebanon)viously to be building again. now, proxy operaand lebanon and|slyon. and gaza and lebanon and so on. and there is a sort of axis of evil as well. >> china, russia , iran, >> yeah. china, russia, iran, nonh >> yeah. china, russia, iran, north korea. well, they say some people it's the bible, not people say it's the bible, not bipolar multi—polar world. >> right. we've come to the end of america as the top superpower. they years superpower. they had 30 years after the of the soviet after the end of the soviet union. we're moving back union. but we're moving back into multi—polar state, union. but we're moving back into it's multi—polar state, union. but we're moving back into it's incumbent-polar state, union. but we're moving back into it's incumbent-polarusate, and it's incumbent upon us to

understand and the motive not merely, you know, demonise, but to try and get inside the minds of people and see exactly of these people and see exactly how they see their point how they see it from their point of because, you know, they of view, because, you know, they don't necessarily don't feel that necessarily america the automatic america has the automatic moral supremacy. think? supremacy. what do you think? >> america still the >> well, america still has the economic power, it will it economic power, and it will it will continue like china is actually to tail off. actually going to tail off. they're demographic actually going to tail off. they because demographic actually going to tail off. theybecause of demographic actually going to tail off. they because of the nographic actually going to tail off. they because of the one aphic actually going to tail off. they because of the one child cliff because of the one child policy, and people just aren't having now. and also, having kids there now. and also, you sort of autocracy you know, any sort of autocracy just country's just calcifies a country's economy eventually. yeah, but but the real problem is in the west , we're but the real problem is in the west, we're moving towards that sort autocratic as sort of autocratic system as we've seen in brussels today. so, you know, previously we thought that as china and countries like that, as they got rich, you know, the people in a burgeoning middle class would demand it's demand democracy. in fact, it's going the way. we are going the other way. we are becoming like china. that's right. >> and i think the technology is what's driving that. but anyway, dodi used to be dodi star now leo, it used to be said for many, a cold and said that for many, a cold and hungry young man, there are worse than prison. worse places to be than prison. this goes rural pensioners this goes for rural pensioners now yeah. now as well. yeah. >> so this bloke is refusing to
