00:00And Chris Forbes, while we've been away, US late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off the air after pressure from the Trump administration before returning a week later.
00:11Meanwhile, we here at Breaking the News vow that we will continue to hold our government to account without any fear of retribution.
00:20And of course, that is the government led by a very handsome, strong and charismatic first minister.
00:26Right, big man.
00:33My pal and yours, that is John, Big Dog Swinney. I'm here for you, big man.
00:39A British Airways flight attendant was sacked after coming out of the toilet naked and high on drugs.
00:44One passenger said they were shocked, but it was still the most entertaining safety demonstration they'd ever seen.
00:51Right, you've met the teams, let's do it. Let's crack on with round one.
00:56This is the Broken News round, where our teams have to guess two major stories of the week that have been mashed together into one single news headline.
01:11So, Mark and Felicity, can you tell me what this is all about?
01:15The Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, has said she's very worried about the Scottish Conservative leader, Russell Finlay, after the SNP were arrested at a laboratory for weird and wacky policies.
01:29Hmm, let's find out. First story, please, Mark. Any ideas?
01:33I believe this was the damp squib that was the Tory party conference.
01:36Yes, this week it's been all about the Conservatives. Tory leader, Kemi Badenoch, claimed attendees at her party conference could feel the buzz.
01:45Although it later turned out that was them all getting a text alert from Nigel Farage.
01:49LAUGHTER
01:50Felicity, what do you think then? It's all been going on at the Conservative Party conference.
01:55Yeah, look, it's a really big conference and some of the policies that they rolled out, they were suggesting including leaving the European Convention on Human Rights, repealing the Climate Change Act and cutting 47 billion pounds from public spending.
02:08But don't be fooled, they've got some bad ideas too.
02:10LAUGHTER
02:13Kate, what have you then made of the Conservative Party conference this week?
02:17Well, Kemi was saying she wants to stop immigrants coming in who have no skills whatsoever.
02:22And as an immigrant who is here on a comedy visa, I would just like to say that I thought Kemi looked amazing during that speech.
02:32I loved it and I have nothing else to say.
02:35LAUGHTER
02:36Can I add on top of that, being an immigrant and, you know, they want to close the borders,
02:39I have to say, I agree, we're here, we've got what we need.
02:43Do you know what I mean?
02:44Pull up the ladder.
02:45It's a good idea.
02:46We're full, that's what.
02:48Also, they were handing out chocolates, they misspelled the word Britain on the chocolate.
02:54And so it said Brit-ian.
02:57And I don't know who that is, but I think that's a lovely name for a girl.
03:00Chris, what about you?
03:02It's party conference season.
03:04What have you made of the Conservative Party conference this week?
03:07I think if you're a Tory and you were looking at it, it looked like a great day.
03:11As a Tory, it looked like a theme park, like going to Tory land, you know, and you're getting a wee merch,
03:17just a kind of Thatcher mug filled up with loads of goods and flashy slogans.
03:21It's mad, but to everybody else, it just looked like the lamest kind of self-congratulatory kind of away day full of crap.
03:28By the way, I do have to name that story, and you're absolutely right about the gaff involving the chocolate bar.
03:35You might have seen the Conservatives.
03:37There was a misspelling on their chocolate bar and the word Britain was spelt incorrectly.
03:42A similar typo had happened at the Scottish Tory conference when they had a specially designed Douglas Ross Wonka bar.
03:49Accidents happen, you know.
03:58Mark, in terms of the overall picture then, because we're in the season, it's that time of year,
04:04you're a big fan of conference season?
04:06Oh, I get on my mates run every year and we, you know, get a couple of beers and watch it as the boxing pay-per-view, you know.
04:14Obviously, Nigel Farage at the Reform Conference came out to Pyrotechnics.
04:18I actually think that the reason the Reform Conference is so busy is because most people probably thought they were at the darts.
04:27Like, who's this guy? I'm waiting on Luke Littler.
04:29What about you, Felicity? Are you a big fan of conference season?
04:35Oh, I love it. I absolutely love it. I watch all of the shows.
04:39And really interesting with Labor, they made some really bold announcements.
04:44One of them was changing their name to Tory Light.
04:47Sakir does this a lot. He reminds people of his roots and that his father was a toolmaker.
04:52And I like that. And how serendipitous that a toolmaker would then give birth to an absolute tool.
04:58The merchandise stall at the Tory party conference was flogging bottles of whiskey bearing Margaret Thatcher's face.
05:07With a slogan which described it as rich, powerful and not suitable for minors.
05:12Right, your turn now, Kate and Chris. What was the other story we were after?
05:24I think this is about the police getting new powers to combat protests.
05:28Well done, that is the right answer. Yes, this week the Home Secretary set out plans to give police forces in England and Wales new powers to restrict what she called repeat protests.
05:38Shabana Mahmood said the move was not a ban on protests but about restrictions and conditions.
05:44Luckily, Scotland has a great way of making sure activists can't attend protests.
05:49It's called ScotRail.
05:56Mark, what about you? What do you think about this then?
05:59Your thoughts on the police having new powers to deal with protests?
06:02Well in a way it is kind of smart on their behalf because the change to the legislation means that police will have the power to ban protests outright.
06:10So even if people don't agree with it, there's nothing they can do.
06:14Chris, what about you? Scottish Government say this kind of thing might come in here.
06:18Can you see this making its way to Scotland?
06:21I could see it being redirected if it comes up to Scotland.
06:25Like I could see it, maybe expect the first application of this against anyone that's protesting against football refereeing decisions in Scotland.
06:33Well if they do give the police powers to stop protests in Scotland,
06:38there'll be nobody happier than the boards of Celtic and Rangers.
06:45Well there we have it. The police could have extra powers, but are they the right powers?
06:50Kate, what power would you like the police to have?
06:53I think we're going about this the wrong way.
06:55It's not about the power we should give the police, but what power can the police give us?
06:59If we put them on a treadmill, put a pitcher of a donut in front of that,
07:02I think we can light up all of Glasgow for a year.
07:06Use that energy. I like the way you think.
07:09Chris, I'll bring you in here. The police could be getting extra powers, but are they the right ones?
07:14What power would you like the police to have?
07:16It's maybe not the most serious of issues, but I'd like to give the police power to arrest anybody that sends voice notes longer than 30 seconds.
07:25It's just completely irrelevant.
07:28Even the other day I asked my mate when I was meeting him in town and he sent me a five minute long voice.
07:34I shouldn't need a phone charger to find out why he's running late.
07:37I didn't know if he was sending me a reply or a podcast.
07:40These people need to be apprehended.
07:42They need to be brought to justice.
07:44They need to be brought to justice.
07:45This is such a male response.
07:47You're like, I don't want to talk to my friends.
07:49Yuck!
07:50I don't want to hear anything you have to say.
07:52I want to be near you.
07:53I don't want to talk about it.
07:55That's insane to me.
07:56Sorry, I leave 30 minute voice notes.
07:59That's because women don't like to be interrupted.
08:06The voice note is the perfect medium.
08:09And yet if you look at the statistics, men interrupt like 30% more than women.
08:13Wait, can I just say something here?
08:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:20I don't know what I say in there.
08:22And there we have it, the power to protest.
08:25And the changing powers of the police is exactly what we were looking for.
08:29Police are indeed to get more powers to deal with people who repeatedly protest over the same issue.
08:34Which is great news for anybody that's tried to get shoes on a toddler.
08:38Yes, well done, Kate and Chris.
08:43You get two points for that.
08:45It was the mash-up of the Conservative Party conference.
08:48And Labour's plans to give the police more power against protests.
08:51And well done at the end of the round.
08:53It's two points apiece.
08:54Now much of our news is about public opinion, so to find out what stories people are talking about, we spoke to two friends of the show.
09:10Author and parapsychologist Evelyn Hollow and anchorman John Mackay.
09:15Right, Kate and Chris, what is Evelyn on about here?
09:18I think this story is sort of sweet, but in a way it's a reflection of modern times.
09:24We no longer allow individual time to task, we want to be doing everything at once.
09:28I would definitely take a potential suitor to a supermarket to see if they could handle watching me have a meltdown and trying to complete a basic task.
09:36What was Evelyn talking about there? Chris, any ideas?
09:39Yeah, I think it's this kind of single Brits, this reveal that they've got new dating trends such as chore-mancing.
09:47Chore-mancing was a new thing where people are combining their like to-do list with dates.
09:55As weird as that is and as weird as chore-mancing was, that's the right answer.
10:00Well done Chris, good spot there. Yes, chore-mancing, what do you think? Is this an acceptable way to date?
10:05I think it's just a weird way of pronouncing marriage. I mean, I really don't see any difference.
10:14Mark, you're a big chore-mancer, wish you were taking this.
10:18Retro-mancing was the one that was interesting to me, because retro-mancing is where people are inspired by their stories of how their grandparents met.
10:27But if that was the case for me, I'd need to try and find someone that wants to get hastily married after I get them pregnant in an air raid shelter.
10:34Obviously it does take in this world of dating, and it can be a difficult thing to do.
10:45If not chore-mancing, how else do we go about it? Kate, what would be the weirdest date that you've ever been on?
10:51I dated an identical twin in high school while I had really bad eyesight and I refused to get glasses so I could stay pretty.
10:58But it led to a lot of big mistakes and one beautiful threesome in which I wish I was more involved.
11:05Wow. And that's how Kate met the Proclaimers.
11:15I've been on a couple of really bad dates, and I wish they had punchlines, but this is just me telling you the truth.
11:21I went on a first date to the necropolis graveyard.
11:26I thought it was going to look like I was really profound and learned and let's go and look at this historical,
11:31but she turned up in high heels and thought we were going to a restaurant.
11:34It was the creepiest I've ever looked in my life.
11:39And that is a high bar for you.
11:45Felicity, what about you? We're talking about dating generally then.
11:49Do you have any stories on this weirdest date you've ever been on?
11:52I was making out with a guy, it was like the second or third date,
11:55and I said, look, I'm not ready to sleep with you.
11:59And he went, okay, as long as it's not a religious thing.
12:02And I was like, okay, anyway, we got married.
12:05Well, well done for getting the right answer.
12:09We were talking about the phenomenon in dating known as choremancing, yes.
12:14In a survey, 21% of respondents even said they would try to find a perfect partner on a weekly shop,
12:20proving you really can get anything in the middle of Lidl.
12:26I'm all for it. It's turned me round here.
12:28I am now a big fan of choremancing, and my new favourite chat-up line is,
12:32are you dusting, or are you asking?
12:37Now to you, Mark and Felicity, it's your turn.
12:39What do you think John is talking about here?
12:42There is no way, and I mean no way, I'm walking into the works, gents, in socks.
12:48You have to be joking. Think of the smell for a start.
12:51And the bunions. No, no, keep it all covered.
12:54I know people have read the news in shorts, but just socks? That's too decadent.
13:01I think it's about having shoes off at the office.
13:04It's like a new policy they're trying to introduce.
13:06Well done, that's the right answer, Felicity.
13:08Apparently some British companies are trialling a no-shoes policy
13:12as a way to improve focus, comfort and productivity in the office.
13:15I actually once removed all the shoes from my workplace,
13:18which is why I was sacked from the bowling alley.
13:24So what do you think then, Flick? It seems odd,
13:26but do you see the appeal of not wearing shoes in the office?
13:29I'm Australian. I see the appeal of not wearing shoes.
13:32We don't wear shoes. Really?
13:34Yeah, when we're growing up, like, you just...
13:36I've got the feet of a hot coal walker.
13:39You could put a cigarette out on the...
13:41I'm not even just... This is not...
13:43I'm not wearing shoes now.
13:45I take them... I take my shoes off at every opportunity.
13:48I hate wearing shoes.
13:49This suddenly explains the flies.
13:51Yeah.
14:01Mark, what are you thinking then?
14:07It's a policy that's being adopted by more and more companies
14:10for focus, maybe comfort in the workplace.
14:12Do you see the appeal of not wearing shoes in the office?
14:15I think a lot of offices are too strict when it comes to dress codes and stuff.
14:18Like, I used to work in a call centre
14:20and they had a dress code,
14:21and I got any trouble one day for coming in wearing jeans.
14:24I was like, it's ridiculous.
14:25Is that for going to get a complaint with somebody?
14:27Like, yes, the representative I spoke to on the phone the other day
14:30sounded like he was only dressed smart casual.
14:35Chris, how do you look at this one then?
14:37Do you see the appeal in any way of not wearing shoes in the office?
14:41I don't see the appeal because I'm worried about escalating as well.
14:45I think it said that they were trying to make the workplace feel a little less like work.
14:49So it feels more like home.
14:51But then where does it stop?
14:53You know, is it your shoes off?
14:55Then the next thing you're peeing with the door opening,
14:57you're clipping your toenails in the staff room,
14:59someone cooking eggs nude in the canteen in the staff room.
15:04Doesn't everyone cook eggs nude?
15:06Only scrambled, never fried.
15:08I just, I never know.
15:11Sunny side up?
15:13This is starting to sound like a defence in a HR meeting.
15:20Kate, what do you think?
15:21Do you see the appeal of not wearing shoes in the office?
15:24I think it'll help my accountant explain my finances to me a bit more.
15:28You know, just getting his feet on the table and going,
15:30this little piggy went to taxes.
15:32This little piggy went to meal deals.
15:34These two piggies went to rent.
15:35And this little piggy went wee wee wee all the way into overdraft.
15:41Shoes off in the office.
15:43That is the way ahead it seems to be.
15:45One critic has said,
15:46you take your shoes off and you're seen as more creative,
15:49but take your pants off and suddenly you're on a list.
15:55An informal office is indeed the right answer.
15:58And two points go to Mark and Felicity.
16:07This is Breaking the News on BBC Scotland with me, Des Clark.
16:10Now this round is all about who's in the news.
16:13I will play you a clip of a mystery person.
16:15All you have to do is tell me who it is.
16:17So Mark and Felicity, you're up first this time.
16:20Who is this?
16:31And for the full translation, Mark Jennings.
16:34Eh, how you say, eh...
16:41Mark, go for it.
16:42I believe that was the recently resigned Prime Minister of France.
16:46Yeah, well done in getting the right answer there.
16:48That was the outgoing French Prime Minister, Sébastien Le Corneau,
16:53who has resigned after only three and a half weeks,
16:56hours after quitting.
16:57Le Corneau accepted a request from French President Emmanuel Macron
17:02to work on a plan for the stability for the country.
17:06Now this comes as France currently has the third highest public debt in Europe,
17:11just behind Greece and Michel Moun.
17:23Well, there you go.
17:24What a wild ride for old Sébastien there.
17:26Only three and a half weeks in the job.
17:28Are you surprised, Mark, by this resignation?
17:30Surprised?
17:31As soon as I seen the news, I was like, sacrible!
17:38Eh, Felicity, what about you?
17:39Three and a half weeks in the job.
17:41Are you surprised by this resignation?
17:43Uh, all I could think of when it's three and a half weeks?
17:46Mate, Liz Truss.
17:48She must be at home in a snuggie bottle of vodka,
17:51a full packet of celebrations going,
17:53who's the shortest Prime Minister now?!
17:56You're right, that's the only person celebrating this news.
18:06Eh, Chris, what are your thoughts then
18:09on Sébastien Le Corneau resigning after just three and a half weeks?
18:13Are you surprised by this resignation?
18:15I was very surprised, yeah.
18:17And so was my whole family.
18:18Mon père.
18:19My...
18:23My mère.
18:24And my brer.
18:26So...
18:34It was worth the effort.
18:35Kate, what are you saying to this?
18:37So we've got Sébastien Le Corneau.
18:39What do we think?
18:40Three and a half weeks in the job as French Prime Minister.
18:42Are you surprised by this resignation?
18:44I am flabbergasted, because I had no idea France
18:49could have a President and Prime Minister at the same time,
18:52and I am the only one brave enough to admit that on this panel, okay?
18:55When I was reading the article, I was like,
18:57they got both, you know?
18:58But if that's too much for them,
19:00I wonder if they should just, you know,
19:01stop having a President or Prime Minister and have a King.
19:04Have they tried that?
19:05I don't know.
19:08Has anything bad happened with a King in France?
19:11Oh.
19:12Flick, what do you make about this then?
19:13So we've got the French Prime Minister walking away
19:15after three and a half weeks.
19:16When was the last time that you walked away from something?
19:18I actually, a couple of years ago, walked away from a marriage.
19:21And people get very, they get worried for you
19:23when you say that you're going through a divorce.
19:25And I want to say, you know, you can work through your problems
19:28if you have really big problems.
19:29The other thing you can do, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart,
19:32is get a divorce.
19:34You should get, if your relationship is on shaky ground now,
19:38let me be the invitation to your new life.
19:41If you are single, you should get married to experience
19:44the sheer liberation of getting a divorce.
19:48If you're happily married, are you?
19:50I'm just saying.
19:51I'm just saying.
19:52Velocity, will you marry me?
19:57Don't write checks your body can't cash.
20:00Yes, many French phrases are commonly used in the English language.
20:08En route means that you're on your way.
20:10Faux pas is when you do something embarrassing.
20:13And ooh la la is when your pal orders wine instead of a beer.
20:19Right, Kate and Chris, it's your turn now.
20:21Who is this and why are they in the news?
20:24And even eye colour, not mine.
20:26I'm built on everything that came before me.
20:29My genes are binary.
20:31This is an AI actress called, I think, Tilly Norwood.
20:35That's a great spot.
20:36And that is, in fact, the right answer.
20:38Yes, less a case of who is that and more a case of what is that.
20:43That is the AI-generated actor Tilly Norwood.
20:47The synthetic performer has caused quite a stir
20:50since she was announced with a backlash from human actors
20:53like Emily Blunt.
20:55Actors' union equity called Tilly Norwood an AI tool.
20:59At which point, Sakia Starmer asked if she knew he's da.
21:06And there we go, Tilly Norwood is the right answer.
21:08It's a worrying development or is it, Kate?
21:11Is Tilly the future of Hollywood?
21:13I just think it's really interesting
21:15that the first AI actress has the most posh London name
21:19you could think of, of Tilly Norwood.
21:22I just think it speaks that, you know, you know her,
21:24her mom is a MacBook and her dad is Nigel Farage.
21:28I think the one good thing is that if she never ages,
21:31she will never experience the true joy of Hollywood,
21:34being too old to date Leonardo DiCaprio.
21:36Chris, what about you? Tilly Norwood, an AI-generated actor,
21:42is this the future of Hollywood?
21:44Part of me gets the argument that it's,
21:46some people say it's just a new innovation like 3D or animation,
21:49like picturing actors in the 20s and 30s going,
21:52you heard about this bloody Mickey Mouse character?
21:55Duh! I could play a mouse, you know, but...
21:59To be honest, I didn't actually know that Tilly Norwood was AI,
22:02which explains why she's not replied to any of my Instagram messages.
22:09Here's a question I want to open out then.
22:11Who would you replace with AI?
22:13I don't want to live in a world with AI.
22:15I want, you know, the messiness and awkwardness and flawed human beings.
22:19I want to watch movies made by people who eat food.
22:23I want watching, you know, stuff that's made by people
22:26who inevitably have to poop that food out.
22:28I want to watch actors with buttholes.
22:34Have you seen the movie Cats?
22:38Have you seen the human centipedes?
22:40I mean, what's going on here?
22:44Mark, what about you then?
22:45Who would you replace with AI?
22:47I think now when, like, an actor or a musician,
22:50any kind of celebrity gets cancelled,
22:53you could just replace them with AI
22:55and then there's no longer the moral dilemma
22:57about enjoying their work, you know?
22:59Cos, like, finally AI can separate the art from the artist, you know?
23:03Like, I mean, say if, God forbid,
23:05there's something happen to you and, you know,
23:07then we could just have an AI-generated thing
23:10we could all still enjoy breaking the news.
23:12Yeah.
23:13To be fair, the real me left in series three.
23:18Best I've looked, best I've sounded.
23:19I haven't aged.
23:21So here, AI, as worrying as it is, Felicity,
23:24AI is here.
23:25If you had the chance to use that power,
23:27who would you replace with AI?
23:28I've actually been talking to the producers.
23:30You've had a great run.
23:31And...
23:33Sterling, sterling job.
23:35I just feel...
23:36Yeah.
23:37I can see you're dead behind the eyes.
23:39So I feel...
23:40What would be the difference, you know?
23:42What would be...
