0:00:29 > 0:00:32CHEERING

0:00:37 > 0:00:40Good evening. Welcome to Have I Got News For You.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43I'm Stephen Mangan. In the news this week -

0:00:43 > 0:00:46word spreads that Rupert Murdoch has rewritten his will

0:00:46 > 0:00:48to cut out his children.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51SHE GUFFAWS

0:00:54 > 0:00:56On a building site in Surrey,

0:00:56 > 0:00:59David Cameron discusses with engineers

0:00:59 > 0:01:02exactly where Iain Duncan Smith is going to have his accident.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12And in north London, the government's new pro-EU leaflet

0:01:12 > 0:01:14arrives through Boris Johnson's letterbox.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24On Ian's team tonight -

0:01:24 > 0:01:26a German comedian who believes British audiences

0:01:26 > 0:01:29are wrong to applaud someone before they've actually done anything,

0:01:29 > 0:01:32so let's see what happens now as I say,

0:01:32 > 0:01:34please welcome Henning Wehn!

0:01:34 > 0:01:37CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:01:41 > 0:01:43And with Paul tonight -

0:01:43 > 0:01:46a politician who, after last year's general election,

0:01:46 > 0:01:48was leader of Ukip in that brief period

0:01:48 > 0:01:51between Nigel Farage resigning as leader

0:01:51 > 0:01:53and Nigel Farage sobering up.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Please welcome Suzanne Evans.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58APPLAUSE

0:02:03 > 0:02:05And we start with the bigger stories of the week.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Ian and Henning, take a look at this.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11Yes, that's Panama. Someone handing over money.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Want some more? He does!

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Putin...

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Oh, that smells fishy.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21Already, there are investigations in a lot of countries,

0:02:21 > 0:02:23a Prime Minister has fallen. Might be two.

0:02:26 > 0:02:30Well, this is a fabulous story by a whistle-blower

0:02:30 > 0:02:33for a company in Panama, and I do hope he's somewhere

0:02:33 > 0:02:34with a beard and a baseball cap,

0:02:34 > 0:02:36hidden safely away,

0:02:36 > 0:02:38having offended Putin, the Chinese,

0:02:38 > 0:02:41all Arab countries

0:02:41 > 0:02:44and David Cameron, obviously. Um...

0:02:44 > 0:02:46It's 11 million documents,

0:02:46 > 0:02:50proving that the idea that the rich are an extraordinary elite

0:02:50 > 0:02:54who are constantly trying to evade giving any money to any society

0:02:54 > 0:02:57which they live in is entirely true.

0:02:57 > 0:02:58What do you think?

0:02:58 > 0:03:01It's not unexpected, is it?

0:03:01 > 0:03:04So, you didn't look at that and think,

0:03:04 > 0:03:06"Oh, I would have never guessed that."

0:03:08 > 0:03:11On the other hand, it does keep Britain safe, in a way,

0:03:11 > 0:03:14because for as long as the President of Bananistan, huh,

0:03:14 > 0:03:19has got his ill-gotten money squirreled away in UK property,

0:03:19 > 0:03:21they're not going to attack the UK.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26So, eventually, you don't need MI5, MI6.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28All you need is Foxtons.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32APPLAUSE

0:03:34 > 0:03:38It's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened on this scale.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41I'm sorry to be enthusiastic about it, I know you expected it,

0:03:41 > 0:03:44but, God, the detail's fantastic!

0:03:44 > 0:03:48And they've had a scalp. I mean, most journalism

0:03:48 > 0:03:51doesn't end up with the Prime Minister resigning,

0:03:51 > 0:03:54but in Iceland... I mean, was it 10% of the population

0:03:54 > 0:03:57went out on the street? That'd be the equivalent of five million of us

0:03:57 > 0:03:59going up to Downing Street and saying,

0:03:59 > 0:04:01"Give us your dad's money back!"

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Just an idea.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08And as you said, the people of Iceland have reacted with fury.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11On the streets of Reykjavik, the incredibly well-behaved Icelanders

0:04:11 > 0:04:14stamped their feet for a bit and their Prime Minister resigned

0:04:14 > 0:04:19after it was revealed he and his wife had a huge offshore tax fund,

0:04:19 > 0:04:21although his spokesman claims...

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Oh, no, we've heard this before, Suzanne!

0:04:32 > 0:04:34APPLAUSE

0:04:36 > 0:04:38Anyway...what's the man in Iceland called?

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Sven?

0:04:46 > 0:04:49I get a German on, and HE does the racist stereotypes!

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Yes, these are the Panama papers

0:04:53 > 0:04:57from the office of tax lawyers Mossack Fonseca.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00I believe Harry Redknapp once tried to sign him for Tottenham!

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Why is this embarrassing for the Prime Minister?

0:05:03 > 0:05:07The Prime Minister's father was named in the papers,

0:05:07 > 0:05:10and he ran an investment vehicle,

0:05:10 > 0:05:14amusingly called Blairmore Investments.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17It's entertaining, cos it suggests you could move

0:05:17 > 0:05:19even more money offshore than Blair did.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23And the fund was moved to Ireland

0:05:23 > 0:05:25when Cameron became Prime Minister

0:05:25 > 0:05:28because, apparently, a source said...

0:05:31 > 0:05:34I would like to make it clear at this point

0:05:34 > 0:05:36that nobody has broken the law.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42- Yes...- What about Jack the Ripper?

0:05:44 > 0:05:46This is the Prime Minister who said,

0:05:46 > 0:05:49"I want more transparency and I want less corruption,"

0:05:49 > 0:05:53And there are these very funny series of statements,

0:05:53 > 0:05:55starting with, "This is a private matter."

0:05:55 > 0:05:57And people saying, "No, it isn't."

0:05:57 > 0:05:58"OK, it's not private.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01"I'm never in the future going to get any money

0:06:01 > 0:06:03"from these offshore holdings."

0:06:03 > 0:06:05And people are saying, "What about the past, then?"

0:06:05 > 0:06:08And I believe the latest news is

0:06:08 > 0:06:11he's admitted there was 30 grand he's taken out of it

0:06:11 > 0:06:15- and he's sold the shares.- Yeah. - So he used to own some shares

0:06:15 > 0:06:18- in Blairmore.- He suddenly remembered.- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20And it does give the impression that, you know,

0:06:20 > 0:06:24the shares paid for his inheritance and his schooling,

0:06:24 > 0:06:27and it's just that idea that we're all in it together...

0:06:27 > 0:06:28if you happen to run a country.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33At some point during that, he said, "Put up or shut up,"

0:06:33 > 0:06:36which was kind of like a big red flag flying, I think,

0:06:36 > 0:06:37because when a politician says that,

0:06:37 > 0:06:39you know their back's against the wall.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42Have you noticed that with other politicians(?)

0:06:45 > 0:06:48APPLAUSE

0:06:48 > 0:06:51Well, I think it is incredibly embarrassing for him.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54Yes. Cameron dealt with these embarrassing questions

0:06:54 > 0:06:56in instalments. He said...

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Here he is in 2013,

0:06:58 > 0:07:02commenting on the private tax affairs of Jimmy Carr.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05Think of all those people who work hard, who pay their taxes,

0:07:05 > 0:07:09and out of that post-tax income save up to go and see Jimmy Carr.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12He's taking that money and stuffing it into something

0:07:12 > 0:07:14where he doesn't have to pay taxes. That is not fair!

0:07:15 > 0:07:18To be fair, whenever Cameron gives a speech,

0:07:18 > 0:07:20it's always free entry.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Where was he when he was asked about his tax affairs

0:07:25 > 0:07:27and why was it extra embarrassing?

0:07:27 > 0:07:31- The Bahamas?- Shame, cos he would have got a nice tan, wouldn't he?

0:07:31 > 0:07:32- Yeah.- No.- Lanzarote?- No.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35- At PricewaterhouseCoopers. - That's right, yes.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38He was at the accountants PricewaterhouseCoopers,

0:07:38 > 0:07:42who've been criticised by a Commons committee for facilitating...

0:07:46 > 0:07:49Various world leaders have been building up

0:07:49 > 0:07:50stacks of tax-free cash offshore.

0:07:50 > 0:07:55What has the President of the UAE been secretly doing with his money?

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Bought up London property.

0:07:57 > 0:07:58Exactly right, yeah.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01He's bought £1.2 billion worth of London properties.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03He's bought half of Oxford Street

0:08:03 > 0:08:05and parts of Mayfair.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09He didn't get the utilities or the stations, though...

0:08:09 > 0:08:13which are actually better value.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17Astonishingly, the world of football has allowed itself

0:08:17 > 0:08:21to be besmirched by these offshore revelations.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24How did that happen?

0:08:24 > 0:08:27Well, they got a new man, Infantino,

0:08:27 > 0:08:30the new Fifa president, and then they had one geezer

0:08:30 > 0:08:33looking after the ethics committee or something,

0:08:33 > 0:08:36and he was working if not for the Fonseca lot,

0:08:36 > 0:08:38then for something related to them.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40So, essentially, he's the ethics man

0:08:40 > 0:08:42and he's right in the middle of it all.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44So that doesn't look too good, does it?

0:08:46 > 0:08:49- They should have kept Blatter. I said that all along.- Yeah.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Yes, Uefa did a deal on TV rights

0:08:52 > 0:08:56with an offshore company called Cross Trading...

0:08:56 > 0:08:58It's like The Night Manager this, isn't it?

0:08:58 > 0:09:01..which was a front for an alleged fraudster.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04The deal was signed by brand-new, squeaky-clean Fifa boss

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Gianni Infantino.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09I can't help noticing there are a lot of extremely bald men

0:09:09 > 0:09:11in the news at the moment.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15So shall we play a game of... Whose Bald Bonce Is This?

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Fingers on the buzzers. Here's your first bald bonce...

0:09:21 > 0:09:23Who's that?

0:09:23 > 0:09:24- BUZZER - Iain Duncan Smith.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Yes, it is.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Ian, you made him cry, didn't you?

0:09:30 > 0:09:31Erm...

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Erm...

0:09:34 > 0:09:36APPLAUSE

0:09:36 > 0:09:37I did. Erm...

0:09:37 > 0:09:40I made a documentary about Victorian benefits

0:09:40 > 0:09:46and I asked him some questions about the poor law and workhouses

0:09:46 > 0:09:47and he suddenly started crying

0:09:47 > 0:09:49when he told be about this young girl

0:09:49 > 0:09:54who'd had no start in life and he'd wanted to help.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56And then people said, "Well, what did you do when he cried?

0:09:56 > 0:09:58"Did you comfort him?"

0:09:58 > 0:10:01And I said, "No, it's Iain Duncan Smith."

0:10:04 > 0:10:08You didn't tell Iain Duncan Smith you were related to him, did you?

0:10:08 > 0:10:11You didn't go, "Daddy"?

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Let's have a look at look at another bald bonce.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Is it someone's knee?

0:10:26 > 0:10:28It's actually...

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Sajid Javid. Our Business Secretary.

0:10:30 > 0:10:34Are his ears very low or is it just the angle of the shot?

0:10:35 > 0:10:39His head has melted and they've slid down the side of his face.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45And finally...

0:10:48 > 0:10:50- Who's that?- Bobby Charlton.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Right profession.

0:10:52 > 0:10:53Somebody old in football, is that it?

0:10:53 > 0:10:56He will be thrilled to hear that.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58It's Ray Wilkins.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00- Why's he been in the news? - He hasn't.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Suck it up.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16This game, it needs a little bit of refining, I think.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25This is the shock news that some of the world's biggest bastards

0:11:25 > 0:11:27have been using offshore companies...

0:11:27 > 0:11:30to dodge their tax.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34Panama may seem like an unlikely location for financial security,

0:11:34 > 0:11:36but if there's one thing we know about Panama,

0:11:36 > 0:11:38they can keep things under their hat.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44APPLAUSE

0:11:44 > 0:11:46- I don't think we should applaud that sort of thing.- No.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48It's disgusting.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51In the past, David Cameron has described

0:11:51 > 0:11:54people using offshore schemes to minimise their tax as...

0:11:57 > 0:12:01A refreshingly honest end to the eulogy at his father's funeral.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09The first casualty of the scandal was Iceland's Prime Minister,

0:12:09 > 0:12:11who has been forced to resign.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15He's also in danger of having his assets frozen.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18Still, that's what happens if you go sunbathing in Reykjavik.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24Ronnie Corbett, that one's for you.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29APPLAUSE

0:12:31 > 0:12:34Vladimir Putin has been linked to the offshore banking scandal.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37Rather more surprisingly, he's also been linked to Wendi Deng.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39At the moment, it's just a rumour.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41We'll only know for sure when they split up

0:12:41 > 0:12:44and she's found dead in a locked hotel room.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58Paul and Suzanne, take a look at this...

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Oh, yes, this is Port Talbot, I imagine.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02The crisis in the steel industry, because we have no money,

0:13:02 > 0:13:05because it's all in Panama. And that's the industry secretary,

0:13:05 > 0:13:07who's pretending he's going to do something about it.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Which he can't, because the EU's strangling it.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Oh, and there's the President of China.- Happy hour.- Yeah.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15David Cameron trying to do his man of the people bit,

0:13:15 > 0:13:18- like Nigel Farage, and failing abysmally.- Yes.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20What, you think Farage looks good with a pint?

0:13:20 > 0:13:22- Yeah.- Or two.- Yeah. Or two.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25That's what this country needs, somebody who's always on the piss.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Well, it worked for Churchill, didn't it?- Yeah.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34Yeah, he was up against different opposition, though.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42Thankfully, we're allowed to make those remarks because we won.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47Yeah, I shouldn't have brought it up.

0:13:49 > 0:13:53I was going to say, "You started it." But, then, no, no...

0:13:56 > 0:13:58Yeah, this is the news that Tata

0:13:58 > 0:14:00are to sell off the steelworks at Port Talbot in Wales.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02It's losing £1 million a day,

0:14:02 > 0:14:06thanks to British imports of cheap Chinese steel.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10Business Minister Anna Soubry suggested buying Tata...

0:14:11 > 0:14:13..causing alarm at the Treasury,

0:14:13 > 0:14:15which didn't think it had that much available.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20It's not just a question of money. They're losing £1 million a day.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24I noticed that sort of international tax evasion is costing us...

0:14:24 > 0:14:27What's the figure? 16 billion a year.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29So we could keep Port Talbot going for...

0:14:29 > 0:14:32oh, about 300 years.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35We could go for quite a long time

0:14:35 > 0:14:38if we weren't paying 350 million a week to the EU.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41Well, if you weren't in the EU, I wouldn't be here.

0:14:41 > 0:14:42- SUZANNE:- Why not?

0:14:42 > 0:14:45CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:14:47 > 0:14:52And if that is a blessing or not, is for you to decide.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54Which campaign are you in now?

0:14:54 > 0:14:56You'd never guess. The Leave campaign.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59No, no, of the many on the other side.

0:14:59 > 0:15:00I'm on the board of Vote Leave.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02You're not one of the Grassroots lot?

0:15:02 > 0:15:05No, I didn't like the look of the green tie.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07- I don't think it'd suit me.- Is Nigel in the Grassroots lot?

0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Nigel's...- Oh, what a coincidence. - Yes.

0:15:10 > 0:15:14It's all a bit Judean People's Front/People's front of Judea.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17APPLAUSE

0:15:17 > 0:15:21Tata took the decision to sell up at a board meeting in Mumbai last week.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24Local MPs and union representatives from Port Talbot

0:15:24 > 0:15:26flew out there to lobby the company.

0:15:26 > 0:15:30Where was the government's Business Secretary Sajid Javid?

0:15:34 > 0:15:37- He was in Australia.- Yeah, that's right. He was on holiday...

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Sorry, he was at a trade meeting.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41Writing in the Sunday Times,

0:15:41 > 0:15:44Sajid Javid said of his eventual visit to Port Talbot...

0:15:48 > 0:15:50His PR team.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Suzanne, when you see what an extraordinary mess

0:15:57 > 0:15:59the Government has made of this,

0:15:59 > 0:16:02- surely you must still be tempted to rejoin the Tory party...- No, no.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05- ..and leave all those Ukip nutters behind?- No, they're not nutters.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07They're a great bunch of people, Ukip,

0:16:07 > 0:16:08and I'm sticking with Ukip.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11Well, at least I hope, if they let me back in. Please!

0:16:11 > 0:16:13- You're suspended for, what, six months?- Six months.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15- Are you going to appeal? - I absolutely am.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Try and get a year?- Yeah.

0:16:24 > 0:16:29While we've been away, the EU debate has been raging dully on.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31All sorts of claims are being made about what will happen

0:16:31 > 0:16:34if we stay or go, with each side accusing the other

0:16:34 > 0:16:35of scaremongering.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38So let's sort everything out once and for all

0:16:38 > 0:16:40with a quick but potentially fun game of...

0:16:40 > 0:16:42LAUGHTER

0:16:42 > 0:16:44..Fear or Fact?

0:16:44 > 0:16:46GAME SHOW MUSIC PLAYS

0:16:46 > 0:16:48Fingers on buzzers.

0:16:48 > 0:16:52If we leave Europe, we'll be able to make browner toast. Fear or fact?

0:16:52 > 0:16:53BUZZER

0:16:53 > 0:16:55Got to be a fact.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58Well, Ukip MEP David Coburn certainly thinks so.

0:17:02 > 0:17:06He blames EU regulations for his less-than-powerful toaster.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10If you're watching, Mr Coburn, the next time that happens,

0:17:10 > 0:17:11put your fork in the toaster...

0:17:14 > 0:17:16..and poke it around a bit. APPLAUSE

0:17:16 > 0:17:20If we leave, we will at last be free to recycle teabags.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Fear or fact?

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Can't we recycle teabags already?

0:17:24 > 0:17:27The Mayor of London claimed in a column you can't.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29Yes, that's right.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Boris Johnson feels his life has been blighted

0:17:31 > 0:17:33by regulations on teabag recycling,

0:17:33 > 0:17:36although it turns out there aren't any.

0:17:36 > 0:17:40Yeah, but still fair enough to be cross about it.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44- Bloody Brussels!- Yeah!

0:17:44 > 0:17:48If we leave, it'll be the end of the booze cruise.

0:17:48 > 0:17:49BUZZER Fear or fact?

0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Suzanne.- Definitely fear. - Definitely a fear?- Definitely fear.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54The French are going to stop us going over there

0:17:54 > 0:17:57and buying their booze? Not a chance.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59Well, the Transport Secretary... SHE SIGHS

0:17:59 > 0:18:00..Patrick McLoughlin,

0:18:00 > 0:18:04he thinks there's a risk the EU might introduce customs limits

0:18:04 > 0:18:07and stop us stocking up on 110 litres of beer,

0:18:07 > 0:18:1090 litres of wine and ten litres of spirits.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13On hearing this news, Nigel Farage tweeted...

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Not really. That was actually Nigel's idea

0:18:22 > 0:18:24of an April Fool's joke.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26One reply to that tweet stated...

0:18:32 > 0:18:34APPLAUSE

0:18:37 > 0:18:39Do you regret sending that now, Suzanne?

0:18:42 > 0:18:45Anyone want to hear a former Swedish prime minister's view on the EU?

0:18:45 > 0:18:48Here he is on Newsnight with Evan Davis.

0:18:48 > 0:18:53..and a former Swedish PM tells us if Britain can leave the EU,

0:18:53 > 0:18:56be in the single market and have full border control.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58No.

0:19:02 > 0:19:03In other news this week,

0:19:03 > 0:19:06Jeremy Corbyn announced he will be playing Glastonbury,

0:19:06 > 0:19:09although he's refused to appear on the Pyramid Stage,

0:19:09 > 0:19:12as he's opposed to any sort of hierarchical structure.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19And so to Round Two, the Picture Spin Quiz.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21Fingers on buzzers, teams.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25BUZZER

0:19:25 > 0:19:28- Paul.- Donald Trump, he's...

0:19:28 > 0:19:30Well, it could be anything with him, couldn't it?

0:19:30 > 0:19:32Why is he so angry?

0:19:32 > 0:19:33He's a billionaire, he's got a lovely wife

0:19:33 > 0:19:35who loves him for his money - what is the...?

0:19:35 > 0:19:37LAUGHTER

0:19:37 > 0:19:40What is he so angry about?

0:19:40 > 0:19:43I think he's angry cos he's just lost.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45- He's lost in Wisconsin.- Yes.

0:19:45 > 0:19:49The whole sort of Trump bandwagon appears to be slowing up.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52Yes, this is the news that Donald Trump may have finally

0:19:52 > 0:19:54out-crazied the Republican Party.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56He's lost votes with women

0:19:56 > 0:19:59after making controversial comments on abortion

0:19:59 > 0:20:03and then lost votes with women haters by trying to take them back.

0:20:04 > 0:20:09That's a frequent accusation - "Politicians, they are too dull."

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Well, he isn't dull.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14- No.- But do you want to be governed by him?

0:20:14 > 0:20:16I want them as dull as possible.

0:20:16 > 0:20:20Charismatic leaders in the past have led to all sorts of trouble.

0:20:20 > 0:20:21I would say that...

0:20:25 > 0:20:27APPLAUSE

0:20:27 > 0:20:29The thought of him being in charge of America -

0:20:29 > 0:20:32he can't even control the knob on his sunbed.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38I think you should refer to him as his butler.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42But this whole business about building the wall in Mexico

0:20:42 > 0:20:44and the Mexicans will pay for it -

0:20:44 > 0:20:48- that's not going to happen, is it? It's 1,000 miles long.- Yeah.

0:20:48 > 0:20:49They'll get a ladder.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53What he's done is threaten to cut off the billions of dollars

0:20:53 > 0:20:56Mexican immigrants send back from American to Mexico

0:20:56 > 0:20:58unless Mexico make...

0:21:01 > 0:21:05Let's see what the former Mexican president Vicente Fox

0:21:05 > 0:21:06thought about that idea.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09I'm not going to pay for that...

0:21:09 > 0:21:10fuckin' wall!

0:21:20 > 0:21:23- Made him angry, didn't it? - Livid, he is.- He's furious.

0:21:25 > 0:21:29Can we just take a brief moment here to look at Donald Trump's mouth?

0:21:29 > 0:21:31What is weird about it...

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Someone on the internet spotted this -

0:21:33 > 0:21:38you can replace his eyes with his mouth and he looks the same.

0:21:38 > 0:21:43- There's him normally.- Yeah. - And then with mouths for eyes...

0:21:48 > 0:21:50This is the news that Donald Trump

0:21:50 > 0:21:52has lost the Republican primary in Wisconsin.

0:21:52 > 0:21:56After a disastrous week, Trump's dreams lie in tatters.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58He may never become president and therefore

0:21:58 > 0:22:02may never be powerful enough to catch the eye of Wendi Deng.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07According to the Mail, Heidi Cruz says

0:22:07 > 0:22:11that her first date with Ted lasted hours, because...

0:22:17 > 0:22:19Jesus, I'd take the Rohypnol myself.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25This week saw criticism of Donald Trump

0:22:25 > 0:22:28for retweeting photos of his wife next to Heidi Cruz.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31British politicians were equally quick to condemn the photos,

0:22:31 > 0:22:35except for Boris Johnson, who spent ten minutes trying to swipe left.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Fingers on buzzers, teams.

0:22:46 > 0:22:47BUZZER

0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Uh...- Paul.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Some cats can understand better accents than others.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Some accents they don't get.- They respond better to a Northern accent?

0:22:55 > 0:22:58- No.- They meow differently depending on where they live?

0:22:58 > 0:23:01That is the right answer.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03Well done. APPLAUSE

0:23:03 > 0:23:06This is the news that scientists think cats

0:23:06 > 0:23:08can pick up regional accents.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12Before we get into the enormous detail of this story,

0:23:12 > 0:23:14how do cats say "meow" in Germany, Henning?

0:23:14 > 0:23:15Uh, "Meow!"

0:23:17 > 0:23:20Are British meows under threat from Brussels, Suzanne?

0:23:22 > 0:23:26The scientists behind this claim actually come from Sweden.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28What noise do cats make in Sweden?

0:23:28 > 0:23:31- IN HIGH-PITCHED VOICE:- "Sven!"

0:23:33 > 0:23:35APPLAUSE

0:23:37 > 0:23:38They say...

0:23:40 > 0:23:42And, finally, who would like to see a dog flying a plane?

0:23:42 > 0:23:45Not for me!

0:23:45 > 0:23:47There are certain things that I find entertaining

0:23:47 > 0:23:49and certain things that are no-go.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53Here we are, a Staffordshire bull terrier/collie cross,

0:23:53 > 0:23:58called Shadow, took control of a plane at 3,000 feet.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01Flying in a figure of eight circuit, following directions

0:24:01 > 0:24:03from his trainer. Here he is.

0:24:04 > 0:24:09- OK. This one, turn to right. - Good, good.

0:24:12 > 0:24:17'Shadow nails turn two, but next is the first of the key manoeuvres.'

0:24:20 > 0:24:23- HENNING:- Absolute garbage!

0:24:25 > 0:24:29Not in a million years did that dog fly the plane.

0:24:29 > 0:24:30Not after the last accident he had.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34We actually had to stop it there because he had to go back

0:24:34 > 0:24:36and serve drinks and nibbles.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38As news broke that a dog had successfully taken

0:24:38 > 0:24:41control of a plane, one passenger was quick to react.

0:24:51 > 0:24:55What's the airline called, Woofthansa?

0:24:55 > 0:24:56Time now for the Missing Words Round,

0:24:56 > 0:24:58which this week features as its guest publication

0:24:58 > 0:25:00On The Lighter Side,

0:25:00 > 0:25:03the magazine for international lighter collectors.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05If you want to thumb through it,

0:25:05 > 0:25:08it usually takes a few goes.

0:25:08 > 0:25:09And we start with...

0:25:13 > 0:25:14Attach two pieces of paper together.

0:25:17 > 0:25:18And that's British!

0:25:25 > 0:25:29An innocent enough idea in the pages of the lighter magazine,

0:25:29 > 0:25:31though it led to a flood of hate mail from outraged readers

0:25:31 > 0:25:33of Paperclip Digest.

0:25:35 > 0:25:36Next...

0:25:38 > 0:25:40Fuck-Face McGee.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46That's the only one I can think of.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49The answer is...

0:25:53 > 0:25:54Next...

0:25:57 > 0:25:59- SUZANNE:- I know this one, I think.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02Tried to get very large sofa into tiny car.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04Is the right answer!

0:26:09 > 0:26:10Next...

0:26:12 > 0:26:14Justice.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16APPLAUSE

0:26:18 > 0:26:22Well, the answer is...

0:26:22 > 0:26:24- SUZANNE:- Ketchup?

0:26:24 > 0:26:27- That is nothing to be scared of, really.- And finally...

0:26:32 > 0:26:37Justify the bombing of Dresden?

0:26:47 > 0:26:50Here is what happened when one grandpa, Nonno Bill,

0:26:50 > 0:26:54recently went to get his done in one of those modern photo booths.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11So, the final scores are...

0:27:11 > 0:27:13Ian and Henning have four

0:27:13 > 0:27:17but this week's winners are Paul and Suzanne with six.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19APPLAUSE

0:27:22 > 0:27:25But just before we go, there is time for the caption competition.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36After a rare moment of honesty,

0:27:36 > 0:27:40Ian Hislop's career takes a downturn.

0:27:42 > 0:27:43On which note...

0:27:43 > 0:27:45LAUGHTER

0:27:45 > 0:27:49..we say thank you to our panellists, Ian Hislop

0:27:49 > 0:27:51and Henning Wehn, Paul Merton and Suzanne Evans.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53I leave you with news that,

0:27:53 > 0:27:55as Fifa look to move away from accusations of corruption,

0:27:55 > 0:27:59China reveals its bid for the 2030 World Cup.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06At a retirement home in the North West, one relative

0:28:06 > 0:28:09worries the standard of care might not be quite up to scratch.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18And at a stoneworks in California,

0:28:18 > 0:28:21a life-sized Kim Kardashian statue nears completion.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28Good night.
