rwanda are third countries like rwanda are part of the solution to prevent dangerous small boat journeys. 15 eu countries, including austria, have signed a letter calling on the european commission to tighten migration policy and to look at third country schemes . a day of shame country schemes. a day of shame for the british state that is the prime minister's reaction to the prime minister's reaction to the findings of a five year inquiry, as he offered victims of the infected blood scandal a wholehearted apology. the final report identified a catalogue of failures by the nhs and successive governments, and concluded thousands of deaths could have been avoided. inquiry chair sir brian langstaff said the scandal had been exacerbated by a chilling cover up from those in positions of power, including the deliberate destruction of evidence by officials. more than 30,000 people were infected with hiv and hepatitis c between 1970 and the early 90s because of contaminated blood products. >> this is a day of shame for the british state. today's report shows a decades long

moral failure at the heart of our national life , from the our national life, from the national health service to the civil service to ministers in successive governments, at every level, the people and institutions in which we place our trust failed in the most harrowing and devastating way . harrowing and devastating way. they failed the victims and their families , and they failed their families, and they failed this country . this country. >> chair sir brian langstaff also found victims suffering had been compounded by the slow pace of government compensation and in waiting for the conclusion of the report, rishi sunak, he said, had perpetuated the injustice. labour leader sir keir starmer also apologised , keir starmer also apologised, saying victims had been failed by all parties, including his own . own. >> i acknowledge that this suffering was caused by wrongdoing , delay suffering was caused by wrongdoing, delay and suffering was caused by wrongdoing , delay and systemic wrongdoing, delay and systemic failure across the board, compounded by institutional defensiveness . and, as sir brian defensiveness. and, as sir brian langstaff makes clear in his

report , any apology today must report, any apology today must be accompanied by action. >> a woman in her 50s has been mauled to death by her own xl bullies dogs at a home in hornchurch, east london. she was treated by emergency services but was pronounced dead at the scene . the two registered dogs scene. the two registered dogs have since been seized . julian have since been seized. julian assange can mount a fresh appeal against his extradition to the united states on charges of leaking military secrets . the leaking military secrets. the wikileaks founder will now be able to challenge us assurances on how a trial there would be conducted and over the protection of his right to free speech. mr assange faces prosecution on espionage charges related to the disclosure of information about the wars in afghanistan and iraq, which the us argues endangered lives. afghanistan and iraq, which the us argues endangered lives . you us argues endangered lives. you can get more on all of our stories by signing up to gb news alerts. the qr code is on your screen and the details are also on our website now. time for

headliners . headliners. >> thank you. aaron. hello and welcome to headliners your nightly run through the next day's newspapers with three comedians. i'm leo carson. for anyone who says we don't do diversity @gbnews tonight, i'm joined by josh howie , a jewish joined by josh howie, a jewish comedian from north london, and kyrie marx, a jewish comedian from a different street in north london. how are you both doing? >> it's not my whole identity, you know. it's a tiny bit tiny, tiny bit. >> we person we do live precariously close to each other, right? right. okay. >> well, that's the chit chat. out of the way. >> let's have a good chit chat . >> let's have a good chit chat. let's have a look at a1 chit chat. >> start the way you mean to go on three autistic comedians in room. >> this is what happens. the daily mail leads with day. that shames the british state. that's the infected blood scandal that we're covering. in a moment. the telegraph also has a day of

shame for the british state. the guardian has day of shame . guardian has day of shame. deadly cover up of blood. blood scandal finally exposed . the scandal finally exposed. the times has britain's day of shame over tainted nhs blood? the news has day of shame for britain , has day of shame for britain, blood scandal, cover up killed thousands and finally the daily star has the one where matthew perry visits courteney cox from beyond the grave. and those were front pages. and let's have a closer look at those front pages. starting with the daily mail. i can guess what they are covering. >> well, like every other one. yeah, but they're with the same words day that shames the british state. but what? it's just one day. no, this has been going on for over 40 years. nearly 50 years, the numbers are incredible. 3000 deaths, 30,000 people affected with hiv and hepatitis c, and, the idea that it's sort of they've been doing this report now for five years, but the idea that that, okay,

we're just going to an apology and we're going to pay this money finally to the people who might have survived through that time, it seems like they've dragged out long enough, but really, what is i'm interested in is what are the ramifications here? what are the what's the follow up in terms of we know thatis follow up in terms of we know that is individuals in these institutions knew about it, kept it going. the thousands of people died needlessly because of this cover up within the nhs, within government . where's the within government. where's the accountability? and that's what the families rightly want to, to, to discover for themselves . to, to discover for themselves. and that is what seems to be very not not coming through on all these days of shame. >> i mean, kerry, there seems don't look at me. >> it wasn't my fault. i mean, it's just where's the accountability in a straight on me? >> i'm not suggesting for a moment anybody would put you in a position of responsibility. well, i hope not. but i mean, part of the sort of cynical reason it's been dragged out so long is that the people who were infected, some of them have

died. and, you know, it's it reduces the, i guess, the amount of compensation the state will have to pay out. and also because the people who are responsible have been dying as well, because it's gone on for 40. as josh says, nearly 50 years. >> yes, yes, that's a very good way of getting away with it, isn't it? dying. it's been the most successful method of not being prosecuted ever. and, you know, i honestly think we should. i think it's time we get rid of politicians and civil servants and replace them with people who are running queries. they're so good, aren't they? they're so good, aren't they? they're so good, aren't they? they're so thorough and meticulous and they really care about their subjects , it's about their subjects, it's horrible, you know, as josh says, it's not it's decades of shame that's gone on. it's a tragic story. and and it's, you know, you know, part of it was also a hospital with, boys that were used as guinea pigs for this medication and so on. and, andifs this medication and so on. and, and it's really horrific, but it's, but it's also the extra horror of it is that we need to trust the nhs and the medical profession and the providers of drugs. and so on. and, and i think that the public trust in all of this is, is really lapsing already. so with this coming in.

>> exactly. i mean, we saw over covid people, you know, government was was quite insistent that we all get jabbed and anybody who questioned it or anybody who refused to get a covid jab was condemned as some sort of far right conspiracy theorist. and, you know, i mean, lucky guess. but, you know, i think this kind of, you know, vindicates some people having a bit of suspicion about what the government wants and having concerns. >> but as we've talked about this in the past, i feel like for a lot of people, covid was an awakening, awakening to zigi. and i don't mean to full on crankery. it's actually wasn't even covid. that was the awakening. it was the aftermath where people like myself who sort of smugly gone , oh yeah, sort of smugly gone, oh yeah, like it really came from china, you idiots. and then, oh, it might have come from china. oh, okay. oh. and yeah. oh, of course . safe. yeah. you know. course. safe. yeah. you know. oh, it might not be as safe or you know, so i think for a lot of people, a lot of people like me. yeah. smug idiots. we might have been awakened to that. so the next time we're going to go, actually, you know what? i'm

going to be out there marching as well. yeah. >> okay, well, we'll look forward to it. moving on. next up, we've got the telegraph. kerry, what's on the front there, well, we've got a couple of stories. i think we're going to look at here. one is that, let police use covert surveillance to stop extreme protesters. report urges josh when he's out there protesting. >> next thing i thought we were. >> next thing i thought we were. >> i haven't read through the whole story , but i thought we whole story, but i thought we were using covert. covert surveillance has been around for a long time, and i thought we use them at protests and we do with, football, don't we? we looking for hooligans and so on. and people are troublemakers. >> that film id what was that where he goes undercover of the football hooligans. >> i'm not seeing it. >> i'm not seeing it. >> that's a good film. >> that's a good film. >> i think you're making it up. >> i think you're making it up. >> film. good film. audience. >> film. good film. audience. >> but yeah. protest. >> but yeah. protest. >> is this a film review now? yes. this program has changed. >> footage that have been on. they've had lots of police officers filming, you know, quite well. >> so i thought, i thought this is what goes on all the time. and, you know, i don't know who who they're actually. i mean, are you looking at anyone who's screaming at a sign saying that hamas are terrorists? i mean, is

that now someone who's suspect because maybe it should be, but then you end up with you're going to have a lot of futures aspects. and of course, this is all happening, was it last week or the week before where the police foiled a plot to machine gun a load of jews in the north of england and then and then. yeah. that's right. and then two days later, of course, you got protests with people screaming in their thousands to globalise the intifada just after that's happened. yeah. so that's after a demonstration of that . well, i a demonstration of that. well, i don't know how many thousands were shouting. >> no, i was there, there was about 50 to 100 jewish people and some iranians and then it was. yeah, it was i would say at least it could be up to 100,000. i know it was like it was like three hours of just this hatred coming at you. and i put a clip on today online, this woman shouting, go back to europe. yeah. >> you know, and did you, did you, have you done it. you've done it. >> you've done it. i was like, okay, i'm gonna do it right now. you got around to it so quickly because it's like, it's such a nice feeling to tick something off your to do list. well, at least at least she's not poland now at least allowing us to stay in one place. >> so. >> so. >> but, but yeah, it the problem

of course with this and this is this long we've heard about this report in the news over the last week, and the telegraph seems to have been slowly covering drip, drip, some of the, some of the points is that there is a danger of , of course, overreach. and as of, of course, overreach. and as andrew doyle, our patron always says, and rightly so, what can be used to attack your political enemies can then be turned on you. yeah. so that is, of course, we always see mission creep with, with police legislation when the regulatory the ripa bill came through, it was supposed to be used for catching, you know, online predators and, you know, mafioso and people like that. >> and within about three months, we were using it to catch fly tippers. so there's always , you know, the terrorist always, you know, the terrorist laws that happen almost straight away. >> and it wasn't even like there was a few years where it migrated over to this. but in fact, it's and it's not like there aren't laws presently existing. >> and that's the thing. and use your the powers that you have that have been given to you and do them well, and they haven't been doing that. yeah. >> the problem is that the police have been saying, well, the numbers are so great, we can't apply these laws. and it's

like, well, then we need to have a serious look at what's going on here. because, you know, if you can't arrest people who are, you can't arrest people who are, you know, screaming terrorist slogans and, you know, upholding hamas and glorifying hamas, then, you know, something needs to be we need to look at some other solution to it anyway, moving on. solution. do you think i don't know, i'm not a solutions guy. >> i'm a there's another story here. if you want to, i can just give you problems. >> do you want do a helicopter go on to the helicopter or we've got to have time for the helicopter. >> no time for the helicopter? yeah, you may have heard of him. he requested some helicopter died with a person. >> we will talk a bit later. apparently, the helicopter was 50 years old. so do get your helicopter checked out if it's oven helicopter checked out if it's over, what? the times got in the front cover . josh, yeah. they front cover. josh, yeah. they tiny story because we they've obviously gone with the nhs blood story as well, but self—drive by 2026, which is if i do my maths correctly in six years time. seven years time. >> oh you're good. yeah. you're too good for this show. >> a self—driving car would have worked out quicker. yeah

>> so, supposedly we're at the forefront of this technology. the government has been investing in this for a couple of years . they're saying it of years. they're saying it could be lead to, like, £42 billion, in terms of and with 30,000, 38,000 new jobs, that all sounds great on paper. obviously, a lot of i imagine a lot of uber drivers are not going to be massively happy about it . going to be massively happy about it. but, the main thing is, of course, is it safe? how viable is it going to be? they're saying the interesting thing is that sort of counterintuitive , lee, but maybe counterintuitive, lee, but maybe not that it's going to be safer because humans are rubbish and distracted. and on our phones, and we got our kids in the back and we got our kids in the back and screaming at them. and what are you not a bit worried that the computers at the moment can't tell which squares contain traffic? >> yeah, and that's going to be a worry. >> that's going to be an important part, right. >> they need to learn how to do that fast don't they, there's a lot of talk about whether it'll be safer. i'm sure it will be, but will it be fun? will it be

fun? driving is getting less and less fun . less fun. >> they're going to be like total recall where it's going to be. johnny cab in the front. and then you could sort of punch his face out the way and then grab the stick yourself and go through the mining tunnels and, and can you say to the car, look, there's no cameras on this bit of road, just move. >> or is it going to be so law abiding, the most boring citizen you imagine. >> and another thing, women getting home late at night, that might also be a bit safer. yeah. so, yeah , because i guess a so, yeah, because i guess a self—driving car can't, you know, get into the back seat and molest them. >> i hope not. >> i hope not. >> yeah, well, i'm sure that's coming. >> let's see. »- >> let's see. >> let's see. >> let's see. >> let's see if we can just squeeze in, what's on the front of the daily star? >> carry, friends by the way, i have never watched. i've seen bits of it, you know? i know what it is. >> i know what it is. >> i know what it is. >> i know what it is. >> yeah, i don't i've never. i don't really watch sitcoms, i don't really watch sitcoms, i don't care. >> are you serious? you've never seen friends? yeah it's a great city. >> no, i know what it is. i know what it is. i've seen bits of it. i don't care, i don't care. you can say what you like. >> disgusted. >> disgusted. >> make me care. it's no, don't

care. six friends don't care anyway. one of them, courteney cox, is seeing the late, her late friend, co—star matthew perry, who visits her as a ghost . right. and obviously people can debate the story of their life, but i can tell you factually that does not happen. okay. just in case anyone's got any doubts whatsoever, you don't know for sure. i am absolutely certain. yes. people should listen to sceptics. you know, i met i met someone a while ago who told me that he believed his house was haunted and he paid for a medium to come round. who spent several visits throwing dust around and saying incantations. and after all that said, this house is now clean. which it wasn't because it was covered in dust that she'd thrown everywhere, and he could have saved himself several hundred pounds by calling me, and i would have said, no, the house is clean and that's it. you won't have taken any dust anyway. >> that's the front page is dean >> that's the front page is dealt with. but coming up, israel faces war crimes charges. iranians celebrate the death of their president in that helicopter that will finally get to talk about. and salman rushdie can't work out why young westerners support islamists. because young people are stupid. salman, see

welcome back to headliners. i'm lucas, still here with josh howie and kerry marks. and we're hosting a night with the headliners live. you can join us for an evening of comedy. it's stand up comedy. we're not doing this show live. that would be. that's what we already do. so it's andrew doyle, me, simon evans and josh howie for more information, scan the qr code on the screen here or visit gbnews.com and you'll find out, where it is and how to how to get there. kicking off this section with the guardian and the international criminal court is seeking to arrest israel's leader for war crimes. josh, i'm sorry to make you angry so early in the show. >> well, this is the problem. is that the more angry i get, the less articulate i am to anyway. let's go. okay. icc prosecutor seeks a west arrest. i can't even read the warrants for israeli pm and hamas officials for war crimes. now, first of all, this is they're seeking an arrest warrant . so they haven't arrest warrant. so they haven't got these arrest warrants. they've just they put in the

claim it's going to take a couple of months to see if it comes through. but this whole thing is a farce. this is up is down. right. is wrong. it's mental to conflate the crimes that hamas , the terrorist that hamas, the terrorist organisation, committed against a defensive war that israel has to, doesn't want to be in, had to, doesn't want to be in, had to be in to get its citizens back and to ensure its own survival. and the they're saying here that they've accused, netanyahu. i'm not a fan of by the way, of causing starvation as a method of war that's disproven , like in terms of disproven, like in terms of there's just no no one's starving their this whole do you remember all the stuff? everyone's starving. everyone. could you have any footage of anyone starving? oh, no it's not. actually, people aren't starving, the denial of humanitarian relief supplies double the amounts going in of food than there was before the war. before october 7th. and, and if anything, they're saying there's a growing evidence of war crimes. and if anything, over the last month or two, it's actually been a more evidence of

the lack of war crimes going on in terms of these numbers that are then quoted 35,000 people, according to the palestinian health ministry, which is basically hamas. those numbers the un themselves have recently dropped to down about 22,000. and, they're saying about 13 to 14,000 are hamas terrorists. so it's actually got the lowest civilian to to, combatant ratio in modern warfare. and this is for urban warfare. so it's insane to accuse them of war crimes when america and isis, when they were fighting isis, were much greater casualties. >> i mean, that's a fair point. but i mean, just to push back, they have focused on the aid being disrupted, which which israel said it was going to do early on in the war. i mean, since then there was a couple of days allowed aid through that was a i mean, that was obviously a mistake , a strategic mistake a mistake, a strategic mistake by them to say that, you know, knowing full well that they couldn't starve a population, but that's still what they, what they focused on here. and that is still, you know, a charge that they could probably

mistakes made early on and certainly in some of the language used by netanyahu. >> and this is in the immediate aftermath of war and, and, and it wasn't statesman's like there was a lot of anger, but they didn't go like when they said, we're going to destroy them or kill. you know, they're very clearly talking about hamas. like, yeah, we're going to eradicate them. >> but first of all, though, for netanyahu, this is just another arrest warrant. you know, he's already built up a few and he'll probably form a new coalition government with the icc and get away with it. yeah i think the whole thing is, is i wonder whether it's partially that the atmosphere that's going on at the moment, they , they feel a the moment, they, they feel a need to both sides it because if they just prosecute hamas the world's going to erupt. right now. and i'm not saying that's right at all. but i'm saying pubuc right at all. but i'm saying public opinion. >> i mean obviously there's horrific footage coming out of gaza. horrific footage coming out of gaza . i mean, some of it's some gaza. i mean, some of it's some of it's fake, but that's because we're seeing we're seeing a war in a way we've not used to seeing wars. >> we don't normally. it's unprecedented to hear numbers of deaths on a weekly basis going on in a war, especially when there's no reason to believe their accuracy whatsoever. this is and we're seeing footage that is and we're seeing footage that

is coming somewhere . it's is coming somewhere. it's unverified and some of it is from gaza, some of it is from syria, some of it's from yemen and sudan and so on. and this keeps happening. so if i believe for a second they were going to properly prosecute this case and look into it and find out what did happen with the food and water and where was, where was hamas involved in it? were they stopping, which we know they've been very much involved in stopping food getting through. they've been at one point, unrwa complained that people in gaza couldn't afford the food. well, why were they trying to afford food that's being given for free when it's piles of food? >> and now they've gone into. so now there's 30 of these stockpiles of food that hamas have confiscated . have confiscated. >> khan has said that when you show willing to apply law equally and look at both sides, but there's not two sides here, there's other sides as well. there's unrwa and its involvement. there's of course , involvement. there's of course, iran. there's the 30 tunnels that has been found going into the rafah crossing, in which we know now that around about 1000 hamas fighters managed to escape through those tunnels, probably through those tunnels, probably through those tunnels . a lot of through those tunnels. a lot of and egypt's involvement needs to also be examined. >> green party counsellors would say that there are two sides to

that. anyway, the guardian now and salman rushdie is baffled as to why western western youth support violent medieval islamists . maybe people don't islamists. maybe people don't see the danger until they've had a fatwa issued against them . a fatwa issued against them. >> kerry, i like, yeah, i like the way you put it first, but salman rushdie has a palestinian state formed today would be taliban like which? which is not a good thing. i don't know if people know much about the taliban, but i can tell you these things, their favourite meal is tali bangers and mash . meal is tali bangers and mash. their favourite instrument is tali banjo. tali banjo ? yeah. tali banjo. tali banjo? yeah. okay, they keep money in their tally bag. >> you ? i've got more band, i've >> you? i've got more band, i've got more. >> he's not playing . they wear >> he's not playing. they wear tally bangles on the wrist. okay, we'll move on, look, it's what he's saying is, is very logical and very, very much what we know is going to happen and happen with lebanon next door as well, is that it went from being virtually a paradise and a popular , holiday destination all popular, holiday destination all over the world to the hell that it is now pretty much run by the middle east. >> even afghanistan itself used

to be sure. buddhist, i believe. >> yeah, but, well, afghanistan was buddhist, syria was christian, if you , zoroastrian christian, if you, zoroastrian was was was coptic christian and he's all gone. britain was christian and he's all gone. you're looking at the yazidis, they're down to half a million people. and was christian. yeah you know, change happens, but this has been quite an aggressive change across the middle east. and it's also it's not the whole middle east, but there's parts of the middle east with around about 50 terrorist groups who have almost full run of some of the countries, and, you know, of course , hezbollah you know, of course, hezbollah is around about 150,000 strong army . that and the christian army. that and the christian population there that were the majority are now , tiny and, and majority are now, tiny and, and living in fear. so the only place that the christian population is going up in the middle east is israel. >> when he says that he's pro—palestinian, i'm pro—palestinian. everybody i know is pro—palestinian in terms of wanting a palestinian state. israel wants a palestinian state, but you just want it in texas? no, we want no what it next door. but israel wants to live in peace and security and

there needs to be an actual partner who wants peace. now, if you have the majority of gazans, which has been repeatedly proven through polls, still supporting hamas, still supporting the actions on october 7th, a big swathes of the of the west bank as well. there is not that partner for peace to make it happen. that's the tragedy here. and the other tragedy that he's referring to is how young people within the west are allying themselves with fascists. yeah and doing so in the, in the under the guise of be kind or inclusivity. and it's absolutely ridiculous. and we were just talking before the show about the history in, in iran and how the history in, in iran and how the islamists allied themselves with the leftists and then slaughtered them, basically. >> and so some good news. so, you know, the leftists will get slaughtered by the islamists. we will get slaughtered. >> we get slaughtered first. yeah. >> as long as i get to see the leftists getting slaughtered, i'm all right with that. the daily meal now and iranians have been setting off tiny explosive devices, but luckily these are fireworks. and they're just delighted that their president of the islamic theocracy in iran has died. josh. >> yes. good news. finally the death of president, ebrahim

raisi is, in a devastating helicopter crash. so you may have be familiar with the statement, if you can't take president raisi to the mountain, then the mountain to , president then the mountain to, president raisi. yeah. so he was in a helicopter. you mentioned earlier. it's 50 years old, bought, bought under the old regime, so the israel has, denied it and america have denied it and america have denied it. jerusalem. they've basically found that there was no interference like this. the iranians aren't suspecting foul play. it was foggy. it was a mountain. it was an old, helicopter. so the people who would have organised the coup against the president are saying there's no coup. it could be. well, it whether i mean, if there was a coup, then it could be, i guess, the son of the, ayatollah. he's now next in line. so that would be. >> which , ironically, would, >> which, ironically, would, make it a monarchy. well, they just islamic theocracy. >> no, no. well, this is it. but you know, they said hundreds took to the streets in tehran today , clad in black. that's today, clad in black. that's hundreds out of a population of 80 million. so there are many ,

80 million. so there are many, many people who are very, very happy about this guy because this guy was the butcher of tehran, the responsible for the deaths of about 5000 people back in the 80s, a truly horrific human being. also, the person who brought in the tightening down of the hijab laws, resulting in, again, deaths of young women and other terrible tragedies in prison to them. and, so this is a great thing, that he's dead . but, you know, that he's dead. but, you know, the eu count the president of the eu count the president of the eu count the president of the eu council, charles michaels, sending his condolences, the un security council, the security council, even the even the us delegates. >> this was an evil guy. >> this was an evil guy. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> it's insane, i think. i mean, most world leaders are evil. so you've still got to. this was like when they died more obviously. >> so. >> so. >> but what's what's interesting kerry, is this helicopter they crashed in, actually predated the islamic revolution. it was bought under the shah's, like, almost 50 years old. it was an american helicopter. they probably couldn't service it and get parts and travels in it.

>> absolutely incredible. largely because they've been spending all their money on weaponry and so on, which should have been sending over to gaza. and, and unfortunately, even, even when it came to looking for him, they didn't have enough drones because they've sent them all over to ukraine to help russia. so it's all mad. why did like, was that someone, someone tweeted the other day that it was carried out by a mossad agent called helicopter. and this has managed. i wish i could tell you who the tweet came from, but this has got around telegram now as a fact and then i believe it was on french tv where they announced that telegram was saying that it was helicopter. the mossad agent, which is absolutely incredible. i'm generally of the opinion that people who torture, rape and whip women for their clothes aren't good people. yeah. so, you know, i would opinion. yeah it's my strange opinion on that, on that. >> anyway, the telegraph now in biden claims trump would have stopped the january 6th rioters if they were black. although if we're going to talk hypotheticals, biden would have stopped the blm rioters if they were white. kyrie. yes, sir. >> is that side of it, isn't it? it works both ways. yeah, but

biden thinks so. he's making a speech for the black community and thought it was a very good point to tell them what would happen. hypothetically only in a situation that didn't happen . situation that didn't happen. it's a kind of childish, and it seemed a bit like playing by trump's, everything trump's accused of. yeah, in speech style is to say what he would have done if it was this and it seems like incredibly race baiting from biden. >> i'm going to say , incredibly, >> i'm going to say, incredibly, it's not surprising this is what the left , as kerry said. the left, as kerry said. >> yeah, it's playing at that, that kind of game, that kind of rhetoric . it's like, oh, can you rhetoric. it's like, oh, can you imagine if these hypotheticals, they're not good. they don't work out for anybody. there is issues in certain swing states, michigan. there are more particularly black men now saying that they support trump. and it really comes down to, as most say, he's a cool guy money because he gave everybody $1,000 dunng because he gave everybody $1,000 during covid and they actually felt that impact in their wallet . so now they're going yeah, trump's an all right. >> he also told them to drink bleach though . so i think that bleach though. so i think that counteract by a lot of bleach for $1,000. >> anyway we're at the half way

point. but join us in a moment for the latest on julian assange. the church of england going woke and going broke and a $400 pineapple. see you

welcome back to headline news . welcome back to headline news. we've got the times now, and juuan we've got the times now, and julian assange has won a stay of execution . and i might mean that execution. and i might mean that literally if he gets sent to america , it might be curtains america, it might be curtains for him. kerry, yeah, i think they're saying that's unlikely now, but, which i don't think that would be a great look, would it, to, to do that, he's beenin would it, to, to do that, he's been in belmarsh prison in southeast london since april 2019, and that happened after he was expelled from the ecuadorian embassy, where he was there for seven years. we've all had these houseguests, haven't we, who like, kind of stay for a couple of days, desperate times, then seven years later and there's pizza boxes and fag ends everywhere . and then, of course, everywhere. and then, of course, he was opening the embassy door to diplomats wearing his dressing gown. i'm exaggerating. i think i am a dirty protest as

well. >> did he really? did he? i thought he did. >> or was he just dirty? >> or was he just dirty? >> did it just become dirty because he, you know, because he really thought he'd done a dirty protest. >> that could well be some fake news, right? crept in somewhere. >> it's difficult, isn't it? because i think we should have protection for we need protection for we need protection for we need protection for whistleblowers. but at the same time, when does it move over into being a liability or even a traitorous . liability or even a traitorous. well, when, when, when there's this much stuff coming that comes out constantly and you can't have any secrets, and it's the way it was revealed as well . the way it was revealed as well. >> i mean, although he, he definitely exposed a lot of, you know , terrible goings on. yes. know, terrible goings on. yes. >> when it started it was very good. you know , it was useful, good. you know, it was useful, important. >> but then he also just did a mass dump of data that people's lives put at risk or even sure , lives put at risk or even sure, even ended, do we know if people actually got killed? i'm not sure. okay well, let's look at this. if only we knew someone who could find that information out. somebody got google and release it to us. >> we'll find out in the. >> we'll find out in the. >> they can find this tool we needin >> they can find this tool we need in julian assange part two. yeah. just to find out if how to kill people . kill people. >> if not, what kind of information does it? >> but there are serious

implications here because they have that part of the case relies on the fact that that the americans said , if you don't, if americans said, if you don't, if you're not from america, we can't guarantee that you have freedom of speech, which, of course, every american has . course, every american has. right. so this has wider implications for anybody visiting america , and they visiting america, and they really need to sort of nail that down. they've sort of said they could apply for it, but they need to change the language before then. it would go to the next level . okay. next level. okay. >> we've got the independent now with the sad news that schools are having to spend money meant for books on feeding kids who are sent to school hungry, i guess there are a lot of useless parents out there, josh well, that's a tough that's. >> well, it's just only that anyway. children come in. >> oh, can't make a sandwich , >> oh, can't make a sandwich, can you? >> don't get that option in primary school. you have to. you send them in and you have you have to pay what food that they are serving, basically. but anyway, children come in hungry every single day. schools are dipping into their own budgets to feed pupils. now this is 1 million children living in poverty miss out on free school

meals because they because they tightened the criteria to you have to earn 7000, 7400 or something. a year or less than that. then a lot of people are in that weird middle zone. and i'm going to be honest, that's for the family. >> is it the whole family? >> is it the whole family? >> that's for i think it's if one person has a total household income. wow that's and it's desperate. and believe it or not, we i that was about eight years ago. we went through a years ago. we went through a year where we had exactly that. we did get on the school meals for that year because we were but we didn't want we weren't claim any benefits, but we just had a bunch of kids. my wife wasn't working. i had just come off a whole load of work and hadnt off a whole load of work and hadn't started a new thing. so there's weird year. we basically earned nothing and we were entitled to the stuff. we didn't want to go on benefits, but we still were eligible. and then we weren't and we weren't earning much money. the point is, that made a big difference that year. having those free school meals, certainly when you, you know, have a couple of kids, it adds up when you have very little income, you know, it's the meals

are i think it's like £500 a term. so it just it just adds up and it makes a difference. so something like this, they do need to do something because there are children who are going hungry. and it makes an impact on what they learn. and i just want to say something more before. so i know you want this, but i just want to say this kind of this is the kind of stuff that planning and thinking long term can really benefit the country economically as well, because politicians making these decisions, well, they don't want to think long term. >> they just want to know if they're going to still be popular next week and get elected. >> and exactly that's the problem. but there are ways for this. we can source all our food from the uk, subsidising uk farmers to do it healthier food that would lead to a better out, educational outcomes for children . children. >> communism to me. kyrees. >> communism to me. kyrees. >> well, no, i think what josh is saying is all very sensible, but it's not my take, i guess, because, i mean, i'm probably the wrong person to ask because what i'm for is all the children should be given food, but it should be given food, but it should be given food, but it should be on a reward system. you know , you pass a test over you know, you pass a test over a certain point, you get a sausage

that kind of thing, and that makes them want to learn. it makes them want to learn. it makes them want to learn. it makes them want to know. no it wasn't. that's a horrible way to think. also as opposed to your horrible way i my way, my way works my way work. they work. i tell you, this would and also , tell you, this would and also, you know, the kids get on the bus. at the end of the day, i'd rather them just be hungry and out of energy. yeah. >> i mean, if we're going to be if we're going to be serious, i think. yeah all, all state educated kids. i was a state educated kids. i was a state educated kid, had school dinners. we had to pay for it and stuff. but i think make them eat the same awful desserts. yeah, actually i loved it. it was much better than mom's food, to be honest. like, i think it's i think it's to , great to have, i think it's to, great to have, all kids getting fed, all getting, you know, sitting down at the same table and, and also taking that burden off the parents, you know, even middle class parents, even, you know, parents who because it is you spend a lot of time making meals for your for your kid. >> i don't like kids anyway. the hell with them. >> well, the guardian now takes us to california, where pineapples might be the next bitcoin carry. >> california is the place for

luxury fruits, and that's not a gay slur story , and this is. gay slur story, and this is. yeah. just got it. the pineapple. thank you, a pineapple. thank you, a pineapple called ruby glow catch up, which was created in, costa rica, and. well, it's more like costa fortune, really. and it costs $395. bargain for this pineapple. yeah, well, in british money, that's only £310.90. so it's not quite so terrible , and it says a limited terrible, and it says a limited edition pineapple price at that price, a cost many would find exorbitant . i know what they exorbitant. i know what they mean by many there. i would have thought just about any sensible person would think that's a little bit expensive for a pineapple. i love the fact this story is following after children not being fed and straight to rich people. yeah, but the creator or the company that's created, say, the leaders in pineapple innovation , which i in pineapple innovation, which i thought was nature. but there you go. they've they've taken it to a whole new, more expensive level. yeah. >> well yeah. josh, the way they talk about it, the leaders in pineapple innovation i mean it's not a new iphone. it's

pineapple. >> and also it's like it's they're deliberately only making a few thousand of these. yeah. to create that exclusive . you to create that exclusive. you know i'm so cynical. >> yeah i, we should be breeding more of these pineapples. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> everybody everybody should be getting one of these. >> eventually there'll be $1.50 pounds. >> but the story the story reads like an advert, doesn't it? everything in it is that the fruit is being made available at melissa's produce. a special produce being sponsored by big pineapple. yeah. >> that's right, the guardian is that big pineapple? >> that's fine. it's 400 bucks. we've got the metro. now, with the news that everyone on the show tonight has microplastics and their testicles. not me though. i've got full size plastics and mad gonads. >> i was going to say speak for yourself, but you've already covered that, yeah. there's, i read through this thing. there is absolutely no mention of how funny the word testicle is, which surprise me. why would they not include that anyway? >> plastic anyway. >> plastic anyway. >> yes. and we've all apparently we've all got plastic in our testicles, which is why so many plastic babies are being born and only get mine out just before the before the show. well, you really, you're

actually just the new expression clearing plastic. that's why i was late coming back , some some was late coming back, some some of it is the size of a sesame seed, which is still quite big in a testicle, isn't it? yeah and that's the primary. there's, there's primary and secondary plastics and secondary plastics refer to large plastic bottles, products that have been broken down into smaller pieces such as plastic bottles, food packaging and tyres. i think if you've got and tyres. i think if you've got a tire in your testicles, there's definitely a problem. you know, when you need to inflate your tires to £0.30, your testicles 30 psi, then i'd say that's a pretty bad thing. so yeah. >> are you worried about microplastics in your testicles? >> not anymore. now that i'm not having any more children. right. but i'm worried about my children's testicles. right. and the amount of plastics getting in there. and so they were. it's pretty disgusting. they basically added. they added acid to the testicles to. >> then this sounds worse than microplastics. get rid of then to leave the plastic like that, they basically that's how they got the plastics out. >> they melt the testicles away. so that was pretty horrific.

>> and the imagery is amazing here, isn't it ? sorry. here, isn't it? sorry. >> go and just enjoy your morning, listeners. >> yeah. enjoy your breakfast, georgia. >> cheerios and pineapple. that's it for part three. but coming up rishi got £100 million ncher coming up rishi got £100 million richer last year, which is just as well as you might be out of a job soon. and ofcom are clamping down on a tv channel, but

welcome back to headliners. we've got the times now with the news that rishi got £100 million ncher news that rishi got £100 million richer last year. blimey, he must be clever with his money. i just wish he'd be clever with my money, too. josh. yeah, indeed . money, too. josh. yeah, indeed. >> yeah. don't blame rishi sunak for being richer than the king, says minister. this is the paymaster general. so he would know exactly how much he earns , know exactly how much he earns, and this from the, the, the times rich list and. yeah. so rich, richer than the king, and, is what makes it difficult is

then to really believe at that level of wealth that he, you know, the whole like, do you know, the whole like, do you know, the whole like, do you know, the price of milk? everyone's obsessed with that. but you could argue and this politician argues that, look, he's trying to help everybody out. it doesn't matter that he's rich, but i just think it it just does. how i don't see how it can't distance you from reality. that level, like those hundreds of millions of pounds. yeah. >> because he's not just doing well. he's like exorbitantly, you know, insanely rich. >> to be fair, it should then work the other way as well. if you've got a leader who's really poon you've got a leader who's really poor, how good are they going to be with the economy and looking after a country as well, if they haven't managed to put someone with about 3 million, is there an exact figure you reckon, or something like that? i find it neven something like that? i find it never. tony blair, john, john glenn says the prime minister's wealth is a private matter, and much of it isn't due to him personally because of who he fell in love with, which is a bit of an odd point to make, because surely who he fell in love with is due to him personally, and also the question of would she have fallen in love with him if he was broke and living in a

gutter? probably not, it's a bit like saying, his his money is nothing to do with him. it's just the people he invested with, you know, that does make a bit of a difference. yeah, i think this is to do with his popularity is going up and down, but it's not going up and down based on how much money he's got, because that's been fairly, consistent. it's more going up and down because he's rather dull and doesn't have any exciting ideas, is what i would personally think. >> yeah, but i think it's a bad idea. like for someone who supports him to say, don't judge him on his record . yeah, yeah. him on his record. yeah, yeah. >> then you go straight. >> then you go straight. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> you're trying to help your friend here? yes. what are you talking about? >> he seems to be having a bit of a sprint finish, though. >> yeah, but do you think so? >> yeah, but do you think so? >> it might be. >> it might be. >> the keir starmer already crossed the line, hasn't he? >> yeah, yeah, it feels like it. well, we've got the metro now, and it looks like the old saying will have to be updated. kubat's are a girl's best friend, carrie. >> okay, this is about tom fadell, who is the inventor of the ipod, and the word fad and fad , hell with that. he said, he fad, hell with that. he said, he invented the ipod , and then it

invented the ipod, and then it says straight afterwards that he was also co—invented the iphone, which is something he has to do now, because when he tells people about the ipod, it was like, what the hell? so, yes , he like, what the hell? so, yes, he in his time, of course, quite an amazing device, which all of us had. and then it was surpassed by the iphone. yeah did you i think i had 100 or something, so yeah. so he's come up with a way of he's an inventor and ideas man. he's come up with a way of turning cow burps and farts into diamonds, which sounds wonderful. but to be clear, we're talking about the kind of diamonds that are used in electronics. so rather than the kind you wear on your ring finger. right, fun ones . yeah. finger. right, fun ones. yeah. so obviously cow farts and burps are a major problem in our world and wished they understood that, and wished they understood that, a few years back, if you might remember, they came up with this suppository that was supposed to reduce cow farting, so for a long while, you have , you could long while, you have, you could send them on etiquette lesson. well, that would really help as well . but for well, that would really help as well. but for a while you had farmers pushing their fists into cows. bums for the planet . i cows. bums for the planet. i watch a lot. you know, they say this is for the planet. you

know, i'm trying to help you. >> you don't see the just stop oil people doing that thing. >> but the, of course, is a dangen >> but the, of course, is a danger. now that cows are going to find that their farts are being turned into diamonds, they're going to get all superior. >> yeah, yeah, but i love stories like this. well, first of all, he says, the world is waking up to methane. and i just want to say hello to my wife as well, but this guy also invented two really interesting things. one is that he a methane sensor that found and we covered this story about six months ago, a year ago that i think it was uzbekistan or something like 20% of the world's methane was basically just coming from gas leaks from one oil field that just hadn't had any sort of technical expertise. they went in there, they saw that things like that. i love because we know there is issues with pollution and climate change and all this stuff, but these are the kind of innovative ones that can make a difference. he also started feeding red seaweed to cows and it dropped the methane , cows and it dropped the methane, by 80 to 90. wow. so things like that, like they make a real impact. >> they're actually doing something as opposed to just stop oil or just getting in the

way. we've got the mail now with the latest attempt by ofcom to make television less competitive with the internet. >> josh i'm a celeb bosses have been warned. watchdogs will come down on them like a ton of bncksif down on them like a ton of bricks if they continue to sign up. politicians for the so. so we had, last year we had nigel farage, before that, matt hancock. they're saying that nigel farage, like is the reason why figures dropped i don't believe i think it was just a bad show. i, i also could believe that there's something to this idea that they edited out. they deliberately didn't put in some of the more interesting stuff. i could actually believe that just just because we know that people, the ideologues within cultural institutions make these kind of ridiculous decisions. >> oh, if you saw the bits that were left out of this show tonight. yeah. oh my god, it's much better. we had the exactly, but , but much better. we had the exactly, but, but yeah, much better. we had the exactly, but , but yeah, basically they're but, but yeah, basically they're saying, yeah, they're just not going to have any politicians, but i think they've kind of run out of everybody, haven't they. >> yeah. the politicians are willing to go on it. >> yeah, i you know what i told you, i don't watch friends. i never watch friends. i never watch reality tv either. so i

don't really care who they have on, i suppose there is a danger that when you put on a politician, you turn it into a party political broadcaster. they get a chance to say an awful lot of political opinions, and they can sort of see that. but it probably would be a good idea to have the jungle just do a politicians. only one from both sides. and then isn't that the house of commons? well, i was going to say dispense with the elections. >> that's a great idea. >> that's a great idea. >> squeeze in lets you squeeze in this one, quickly, as the actress said to the bishop, this is the star. now with great news for fans of boobs and tasteless jokes, the dublin portal is going to open carry. >> yes, it goes shut down because people behaved predictably and decided to expose themselves instead. i don't even understand what the point. i mean, the age of internet now where everyone's connected and zooming each other and so on. and now there's a portal. but it's not a portal, is it? it's just yet another zoom. >> they told people in ireland that it's a problem. it's zoom. it's a zoom call. and everyone was like, it's what is this magic? >> basically . what? my boobs. >> basically. what? my boobs. this is what happened. they basically they open the portal . basically they open the portal. it was fun. so they shut it

down. >> what is this magic ? >> what is this magic? >> what is this magic? >> reopen it. it's not in jamaica, josh. but they're going to reopen it with. with guards, apparently, to make sure nobody gets their boobs out. although the guards that i know in dublin actually make sure you show your boobs anyway, the show is nearly oven boobs anyway, the show is nearly over, so let's take another quick look at tuesday's front pages. quick look at tuesday's front pages . the quick look at tuesday's front pages. the daily mail leads with a day that shames the british state that's talking about the infected blood scandal. the telegraph also has a day of shame for the british state. the guardian has day of shame, deadly cover up of blood scandal finally exposed and the times says britain's day of shame over tainted nhs blood . the eye news tainted nhs blood. the eye news has day of shame for britain blood scandal, cover up kills thousands and finally, the daily star has the one where matthew perry visits courteney cox from beyond the grave. and those were front pages and that's all we have time for. thank you to my guest, josh howie and kerry marks. i'll be back tomorrow at 11 pm. with lewis schaffer and steve n allen . and if you're steve n allen. and if you're watching at 5 am, stay tuned for breakfast. but until then, good night and god bless . good night and god bless. >> that warm feeling inside from

boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> evening. welcome to your latest weather update from the met office here on gb news. a messy picture with the weather tomorrow. most of us cloudier and cooler than today, but again, like today there will be again, like today there will be a few thunderstorms in place where between weather systems, but this area of low pressure is pushing up from the south and will generate a few more showers. we'll see the cloud thickening across east anglia and the east midlands with some showers here. the downpours we've seen across northern ireland, they will continue to fade through this evening and many places will have a dry night, a bit misty and murky once more on these eastern coast. quite chilly across scotland again. temperatures down to about 3 to 5 degrees in rural spots, whereas in the south many towns and cities staying in double figures . a staying in double figures. a cloudier day. then on tuesday, particularly over the midlands, parts of northeast england and along the east coast of scotland, especially aberdeenshire , up towards aberdeenshire, up towards

orkney. grey, misty and murky with that ha sticking around but a good part of scotland actually starting sunny . generally a dry starting sunny. generally a dry starting sunny. generally a dry start in northern ireland, but we are looking at some thunderstorms breaking out here later on and we'll start with a lot of cloud over the midlands, northern england and generally quite a drab day over central and eastern england. but some sunshine for wales and southwest england as the day goes on, increasing chance of again seeing some thunderstorms breaking out across northern ireland but also southwestern parts of england. there's a met office warning in place . wet office warning in place. wet weather will continue to affect parts of central and eastern england . a few scattered showers england. a few scattered showers over the highlands, some brightness in western scotland. but as i said, most places cloudier than today and as a result cooler. more cloud and rain then spill in from the east as we head into wednesday. could be a very soggy day over parts of eastern england and parts of scotland. some heavy downpours possible and in the south some brighter spells may well trigger some heavy showers as we go through the day , there will be a

through the day, there will be a bit more of a breeze coming in from the east. so a cool day here with some brightness further south we could again get up to 20 celsius. bye for now . up to 20 celsius. bye for now. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on

gb news. >> good evening. the infected blood scandal. today's inquiry and not new revelations . but at and not new revelations. but at last, after 40 years, at last, the truth , i asked, will anybody the truth, i asked, will anybody ever be held to account over this? or indeed, the mistakes made during covid? ofcom launch a broadside against gb news. they say the people's forum we organise with rishi sunak did not display due impartiality. we are not going to take this lying

down. ofcom have simply got this wrong and last thursday i had a 99 year old world war two veteran in the studio. we said we'd try and raise money to send veterans to normandy on june the 6th. it's been a great success. i'll update you on that during the course of the show. but first, let's get the news with aaron armstrong. >> a very good evening to you. i'm aaron armstrong. the prime minister has offered an unequivocal apology to victims of the infected blood scandal, describing it as a day of shame for the british state. the inquiry found a subtle, pervasive and chilling cover up from those in positions of trust and power, including the deliberate destruction of documents by government officials. the final report concluded patients were knowingly exposed to unacceptable risks, and the scandal could have been largely avoided. more than 30,000 people were infected with hiv and

hepatitis c over the period of 20 years. because of contaminated blood products and transfusions . transfusions. >> this is a day of shame for the british state. today's report shows a decades long moral failure at the heart of our national life, from the national health service to the civil service, to ministers in successive governments at every level , the people and level, the people and institutions in which we place our trust failed in the most harrowing and devastating way. they failed the victims and their families, and they failed this country . this country. >> well, the chair of the inquiry, sir brian langstaff, found victims suffering had been compounded by the slow pace of government compensation . and in government compensation. and in waiting for the conclusion of the report, rishi sunak had perpetuated the injustice. the labour leader, sir keir starmer , labour leader, sir keir starmer, also apologised, saying victims had been failed by all parties, including his. >> i acknowledge that this suffering was caused by wrongdoing, delay and systemic

failure across the board
