0:00:34 > 0:00:36Hello!

0:00:36 > 0:00:39And welcome to Good News! So what's been happening?

0:00:39 > 0:00:42Either this bloke has a massive erection or he's hiding a dwarf.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44LAUGHTER

0:00:48 > 0:00:52That's nothing. Did anyone else see that gnome wanking on the news?

0:00:53 > 0:00:57Gnomes, banned for 100 years, have been spotted here at Chelsea.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01LAUGHTER

0:01:04 > 0:01:07I think we all know he's happy.

0:01:07 > 0:01:08And here's a question.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Did anyone else think that Sky's coverage of the Oklahoma tornado

0:01:11 > 0:01:13was a little bit shit?

0:01:13 > 0:01:17We'll be live from Oklahoma for the very latest on the tornado.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21LAUGHTER

0:01:23 > 0:01:25The latest, there, from Jeremy Thompson.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27LAUGHTER

0:01:27 > 0:01:28And finally,

0:01:28 > 0:01:32is it me or does Morgan Freeman find Michael Caine a little bit boring?

0:01:32 > 0:01:36They then, in the movie, show you how it was done without CGI.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38LAUGHTER

0:01:38 > 0:01:40It was a wondrous thing to sit there.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44We were in the audience last night. I had never seen it before...

0:01:44 > 0:01:46LAUGHTER DROWNS SPEECH

0:01:46 > 0:01:50The action was incredible because they actually show you, you know,

0:01:50 > 0:01:54in the film the police come in and solve how the trick was done.

0:01:54 > 0:02:00- I played a magician... - LAUGHTER DROWNS SPEECH

0:02:00 > 0:02:02LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:02:05 > 0:02:08The big news is, of course, the tragic events in Woolwich.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12The shocking attack on the streets of London.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14Two men are shot by armed police after attacking

0:02:14 > 0:02:18what is reported to be a serving soldier.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20It was an awful, barbaric attack. The nation was shocked.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Some left flowers at the scene, some donated money

0:02:23 > 0:02:26for Help for Heroes and then a few morons did this.

0:02:26 > 0:02:30There were attacks on mosques in Kent and Essex.

0:02:30 > 0:02:31What a bunch of dicks!

0:02:31 > 0:02:34"There's been an attack in Woolwich.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36"Let's drive 50 miles away and brick a mosque."

0:02:36 > 0:02:37What kind of logic's that?

0:02:37 > 0:02:40"Fred West killed people in Gloucester.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42"Let's go to Swindon and punch someone!"

0:02:42 > 0:02:44- LAUGHTER - Then it got worse.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48Some twats from the English Defence League went to Woolwich

0:02:48 > 0:02:50to "reclaim the streets"!

0:02:50 > 0:02:53There were confrontations in Woolwich between the police

0:02:53 > 0:02:56and a group of around 60 people from the English Defence League.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58CHANTING: E...E...EDL! E...E...EDL!

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Utter knobs!

0:03:00 > 0:03:05"We're going to make the streets safer...by fighting!"

0:03:05 > 0:03:07LAUGHTER

0:03:07 > 0:03:10"We're gonna clean up the streets by throwing bricks,

0:03:10 > 0:03:12"hurling bottles and smashing up shops.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16"The only way to stop terrorism is to create more terror!"

0:03:16 > 0:03:19If you want to make Britain a better place for your children,

0:03:19 > 0:03:23it's probably not a good idea to throw bricks at the fucking police!

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Also, does anyone else find it pretty ironic that people

0:03:26 > 0:03:30who hate Muslims turned up looking like they were wearing burkas?

0:03:30 > 0:03:32LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:03:36 > 0:03:38They're so stupid!

0:03:38 > 0:03:42Some of them can't tell the difference between Islam and Narnia.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44LAUGHTER

0:03:46 > 0:03:49"And don't get me started on Mr Tumnus!"

0:03:51 > 0:03:53It wasn't just the EDL being idiotic,

0:03:53 > 0:03:56did you hear what happened on Twitter?

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Hundreds of people sent tweets like this:

0:04:00 > 0:04:02And who were they sending it to?

0:04:02 > 0:04:05- EDF Energy. - LAUGHTER

0:04:05 > 0:04:11That's right. People were accusing an energy supplier of being racist.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14This poor guy was shitting himself!

0:04:14 > 0:04:15LAUGHTER

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Some tweets were good, though.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23Nick Griffin got slammed after a typically bigoted outburst.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32And what was the very first response he got?

0:04:35 > 0:04:37LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:04:37 > 0:04:41I couldn't have put it better myself!

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Now, one thing we can all agree on -

0:04:45 > 0:04:47in times of adversity, you need a good leader.

0:04:47 > 0:04:51David Cameron stepped up and delivered this stirring speech.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54This country will be absolutely resolute in its stand

0:04:54 > 0:04:57against violent extremism and terror.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01We will never give in to terror or terrorism in any of its forms.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04I will work every hour God sends

0:05:04 > 0:05:06until terrorism is a thing of the past.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09And where was he 24 hours later?

0:05:09 > 0:05:11The Prime Minister has flown off on holiday.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14He has gone to Ibiza with wife Samantha.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16What an idiot!

0:05:16 > 0:05:18The country's on terror alert. He's like,

0:05:18 > 0:05:20# Whoa, I'm going to Ibiza! #

0:05:20 > 0:05:24"Pedro, line up the cocktails. Daddy's gonna get bollocked."

0:05:24 > 0:05:25LAUGHTER

0:05:25 > 0:05:27So why has Dave gone on his hols?

0:05:27 > 0:05:31Well, he's had a tough time trying to make gay marriage legal.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34The Prime Minister is facing opposition from within his own party

0:05:34 > 0:05:36as the Bill to allow same-sex marriage in England and Wales

0:05:36 > 0:05:39- returns to the House of Commons. - You're telling me.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Loads of Tories were outraged. "It's disgusting!

0:05:42 > 0:05:44It's appalling!"

0:05:44 > 0:05:46But Norman Tebbit wins my award for overreaction of the week.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Did you see what he said?

0:05:51 > 0:05:53LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:05:53 > 0:05:55What?

0:06:01 > 0:06:05"Gay marriage may lead to a lesbian Queen?"

0:06:05 > 0:06:07I'd love to have seen the Queen's face when she read that!

0:06:07 > 0:06:09"Philip!"

0:06:09 > 0:06:11LAUGHTER

0:06:11 > 0:06:15"It says here that if they pass gay marriage, I'll become a lesbian."

0:06:17 > 0:06:20"Really? Can I watch?

0:06:22 > 0:06:25"Hello? Kelly Brook? I'm sending a cab."

0:06:25 > 0:06:29I tell you what, this is really going to change the Queen's speech.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31"Britain. I've got an announcement to make.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34"I am off the Crown Jewels.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38"From now on, I shall be known as Your Vagesty."

0:06:38 > 0:06:40LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:06:40 > 0:06:41"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

0:06:47 > 0:06:49"Gay marriage will lead to a lesbian Queen"? What?

0:06:49 > 0:06:51And I suppose it will make Prince Harry do this?

0:06:51 > 0:06:53LAUGHTER

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Mind you...

0:06:57 > 0:06:59If you think what Norman Tebbit said was insane,

0:06:59 > 0:07:02look what this bloke in America did.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05A dog owner sends his pet to be euthanised

0:07:05 > 0:07:07because he thinks his dog is gay.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10The pup was humping another male dog.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14The owner told shelter workers he refuses to have a gay dog.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16AUDIENCE GASPS

0:07:16 > 0:07:21Yeah. He wants his dog to be killed cos he's gay. Poor dog. Yeah!

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Imagine him in the pound. "What are you in for?" "Too old. You?"

0:07:25 > 0:07:27"Too fabulous."

0:07:27 > 0:07:29LAUGHTER

0:07:33 > 0:07:38"Fetch your bone? Honey, I don't even know your name."

0:07:38 > 0:07:39LAUGHTER

0:07:39 > 0:07:42# Fly me to the moon... #

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Don't fret. Luckily, this story has a happy ending.

0:07:45 > 0:07:50A Facebook campaign was set up to try and save the dumped dog

0:07:50 > 0:07:53and luckily, he's been adopted and named Elton.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55- CHEERING - All's well that ends well.

0:07:55 > 0:07:59Not only that, his new boyfriend loves to be teabagged.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03LAUGHING AND APPLAUSE

0:08:06 > 0:08:09MUSIC: "Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye

0:08:09 > 0:08:12LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:08:16 > 0:08:20Elsewhere this week, have you seen who fancies being London Mayor?

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Eddie Izzard says he's prepared to take the flak

0:08:22 > 0:08:24for wanting to pursue a career in politics.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27In a recent magazine interview, the comedian confirmed

0:08:27 > 0:08:30he will seek the Labour nomination for Mayor of London.

0:08:30 > 0:08:31Wow!

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Eddie Izzard versus Boris Johnson!

0:08:35 > 0:08:38That could be the most amazing, surreal debate ever.

0:08:38 > 0:08:42- I want a party with values. - Reduce crime and disorder.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44- Invade Birmingham. - Pelted with pork pies.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Take your buttocks and sell them to the Chinese.- Triangular doo-dah.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49- Porkpie hat on a raptor. - Killer rabbit.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51- Chicken undertakers. - Beetroot juice!

0:09:01 > 0:09:02- Lipstick.- Pussycat.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Bisexual hermaphrodite. - Very ni-i-ice!

0:09:05 > 0:09:08LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:09:08 > 0:09:10That is a debate we would all watch.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Mind you, if you think those two are odd choices for a mayor,

0:09:17 > 0:09:20check out this old story from America.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Robert Tufts might look like your average preschooler

0:09:22 > 0:09:25but this little guy has got more credentials

0:09:25 > 0:09:27than most men ten times his age.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29He's the mayor of his own town.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31- LAUGHTER - Yeah!

0:09:31 > 0:09:34A town in America has a four-year-old mayor!

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Imagine his manifesto. "I will be strong on green issues.

0:09:37 > 0:09:41"Or as I call them, bogies."

0:09:41 > 0:09:42LAUGHTER

0:09:42 > 0:09:46"I'm gonna give the economy a Boost and if it's really nice, a Twix."

0:09:46 > 0:09:48LAUGHTER

0:09:50 > 0:09:51Imagine him in debates.

0:09:51 > 0:09:55"This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed at home

0:09:55 > 0:09:57"but it still claimed benefits and that's bullshit."

0:09:57 > 0:09:59LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Or maybe he went, "If you don't vote for me,

0:10:03 > 0:10:05"I'll tell everyone you touched me."

0:10:05 > 0:10:07LAUGHTER

0:10:09 > 0:10:11You can't have toddlers running a city.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13They won't be able to handle complicated issues

0:10:13 > 0:10:14like crime and finance.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Some of them still can't get their heads around how ball machines work.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23LAUGHTER

0:10:23 > 0:10:25"How are they appearing?"

0:10:25 > 0:10:29From a toddler mayor to a really lazy bastard.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33Some bloke in America has been paying another man in China

0:10:33 > 0:10:35to do his job for him.

0:10:35 > 0:10:40A US computer programmer actually outsourced his own job to China

0:10:40 > 0:10:42so he could goof off at work.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44He paid the Chinese programmers around one fifth

0:10:44 > 0:10:48of his six-figure salary while he surfed the internet.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51That is unbelievable!

0:10:51 > 0:10:53I, Russell Howard, would never do that!

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Did you see what he was doing at work instead?

0:10:58 > 0:11:02Bob devoted his work time to Facebook, Reddit,

0:11:02 > 0:11:05eBay and cat videos. LAUGHTER

0:11:05 > 0:11:08In fairness, they are funny.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15LAUGHTER

0:11:17 > 0:11:19That was great fun!

0:11:22 > 0:11:24This next story is amazing.

0:11:24 > 0:11:28Check out who the Germans are sending into space.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30German porn star Coco Brown

0:11:30 > 0:11:34is training to be the first porn star in space.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37They are sending a porn star to space!

0:11:37 > 0:11:40Fair to say, her co-presenter was a little bit excited about this story.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43Oh, my God! It's a porn star in space!

0:11:43 > 0:11:48You think he's happy? Check out how the astronauts felt.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51LAUGHTER

0:11:51 > 0:11:53I'd love to see the moment she met up with them.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56The other astronauts - "I trained for hours in zero gravity."

0:11:56 > 0:11:59"I have a degree in astrophysics. What's your special skill?"

0:11:59 > 0:12:00And her just going,

0:12:00 > 0:12:02"Pass me that ping-pong ball."

0:12:02 > 0:12:04HE HUMS BLUE DANUBE WALTZ

0:12:11 > 0:12:14Christ, there'll be aliens at the windows like this.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17LAUGHTER

0:12:17 > 0:12:22My favourite part of the story is the way this reporter sums it up.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25If you're worried about how she's going to do

0:12:25 > 0:12:28and if she's going to be all right, she's already been in German porn.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Believe me, she can take it.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Aargh!

0:12:32 > 0:12:34LAUGHTER

0:12:34 > 0:12:36That is such a window into his life.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38LAUGHTER

0:12:38 > 0:12:40"She can take it!

0:12:40 > 0:12:43"I once saw a German girl shag so many men,

0:12:43 > 0:12:45"by the time she had finished, she had a..."

0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Liquid ass. - LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Mind you, if you think porn in space is bizarre,

0:12:51 > 0:12:54have a look where it appeared in New Zealand.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57Families watching Prime TV this afternoon got a shock

0:12:57 > 0:12:59when the grassroots rugby show they were watching

0:12:59 > 0:13:02was suddenly replaced by hardcore porn.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05An Auckland woman watched in disbelief as the rugby

0:13:05 > 0:13:07turned to Desperate Blackwives Two.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09There you go.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11LAUGHTER

0:13:13 > 0:13:15"There you go!"

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Porn interrupted a rugby game.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Imagine that moment. "Come on! Score a try!

0:13:20 > 0:13:23"You can...holy shit!"

0:13:23 > 0:13:26LAUGHTER

0:13:26 > 0:13:28"Well, that is not how you do the Haka!"

0:13:28 > 0:13:31LAUGHTER

0:13:31 > 0:13:33"Do you think she's going to be all right?

0:13:33 > 0:13:36"Yeah, mate. She's been in German porn.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39- "She can take it." - LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:13:44 > 0:13:46It is outrageous, though, isn't it?

0:13:46 > 0:13:48Showing porn in the middle of a TV show.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51For Christ's sake, you're here to entertain, not show bits of film.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54From the makers of Cock the Week

0:13:54 > 0:13:59and Big Fat Jizz of the Year comes Russell Howard's Wood News.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01HE MOANS

0:14:02 > 0:14:04LAUGHTER

0:14:13 > 0:14:16I was very young and I needed the money.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19Go to the music. Go to the fucking music!

0:14:24 > 0:14:26Next up, big religious news in Russia.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29When you hear the words Christian music,

0:14:29 > 0:14:31images like this might come to mind.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33CHORAL SINGING

0:14:34 > 0:14:37But the Church has decided to get with the times.

0:14:37 > 0:14:41The Tulskaya diocese has decided to allow its younger members

0:14:41 > 0:14:44the opportunity to have their voices heard

0:14:44 > 0:14:47and the way they've decided to do this is by rapping.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Yeah. Basically, they're getting rid of hymns

0:14:49 > 0:14:51and replacing it with rap. Imagine that.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53# When I say "Jesus", you say "yeah"

0:14:53 > 0:14:56# He looked like a Bee Gee and he had good hair

0:14:56 > 0:14:57# Judas betrayed him but he don't mind

0:14:57 > 0:14:59- # Cos he can turn water into- BLEEP- wine

0:14:59 > 0:15:02# In the name of the Father the Ghost and the Son

0:15:02 > 0:15:04# I baptise all the bitches and I shoot my gun

0:15:04 > 0:15:06# I got loads of gold and a massive rod

0:15:06 > 0:15:08# Now go in peace and thanks be to God."

0:15:08 > 0:15:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:15:12 > 0:15:15It would be quite cool...

0:15:16 > 0:15:20..but I don't think it's going to work cos rap and religion, bad idea.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22Believe me.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50I don't remember filming that one!

0:24:54 > 0:24:58Now, an inspirational story about an artist called Barry West.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08Seeing Barry West at work, it's the precision

0:25:08 > 0:25:11and patience which is at first extraordinary.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15Then he tells you he has only been mouth painting for 18 months.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18It started out just trying out like a little stick drawing,

0:25:18 > 0:25:21just as a bit of fun.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Then it went from there, really, and thought,

0:25:23 > 0:25:26"I'm getting some really nice comments back

0:25:26 > 0:25:28"after putting some on Facebook."

0:25:28 > 0:25:31And I just went more and more and thought I'll practise more and more.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33I like these comments!

0:25:33 > 0:25:37His progress means his designs could now be sold

0:25:37 > 0:25:39around the world on cards, calendars and prints

0:25:39 > 0:25:42through the Association of Mouth and Foot Painters.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44It's quite an achievement

0:25:44 > 0:25:48but Barry is used to doing what he sets his mind to.

0:25:48 > 0:25:52His car crash at 19 left him unable to use his legs or arms

0:25:52 > 0:25:56but in the 16 years since, he's been skydiving,

0:25:56 > 0:26:00become a qualified scuba diver and scaled Ben Nevis.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02He doesn't just take part

0:26:02 > 0:26:06but is also a team leader on various expeditions.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08When I was able-bodied and you think,

0:26:08 > 0:26:11"I want to go and do something," you know you can do it next week,

0:26:11 > 0:26:16the week after, and you think, "I'll get round to it."

0:26:16 > 0:26:19But while I've had a lot of my physical ability taken away

0:26:19 > 0:26:21where I've only got the use of my head,

0:26:21 > 0:26:24now I think, "How can I do that?"

0:26:24 > 0:26:27Last year he carried the Olympic Torch through Rye.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29The Paralympics, he says,

0:26:29 > 0:26:30has made a real difference

0:26:30 > 0:26:33to people's perceptions of those with disabilities

0:26:33 > 0:26:35and he hopes he can help those struggling,

0:26:35 > 0:26:39as he did for years, to come to terms with spinal injuries.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42We're not programmed in to know how to cope with living in a situation

0:26:42 > 0:26:46with just the use of your head and I didn't think it was possible.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49So hopefully, some of the things I've gone through

0:26:49 > 0:26:52and I've done will help other people in my position

0:26:52 > 0:26:54to believe in their self.

0:26:54 > 0:26:55There you go.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:26:58 > 0:27:00Thank you very much for watching Good News.
