the european parliament elections. rishi sunak apologised unequivocally for leaving dj services early and labour party pledges to build more prisons. hello. the wife of michael mosley has confirmed her husband has been found dead on the greek island of symi, saying in a statement the news was �*devastating'. police found a body earlier while searching for the tv presenter. the 67—year—old was last seen early on wednesday afternoon, when he went for a walk alone in a remote mountainous area. the islands mayor said the body was spotted by a cave next to a beach after an extensive search operation led by emergency workers.
3:01 pm
mr mosley was was last seen early on wednesday afternoon, when he went for a walk alone in a remote mountainous area. local officials say the body was spotted on a steep slope above a beach. yesterday new cctv footage emerged showing him heading towards a path that would have taken him over miles of exposed hillside. in the past hour we've had a statement from michael mosley�*s wife clare. it reads... i don't know quite where to begin with this. it's devastating to have lost michael, my wonderful, funny (ani) kind and brilliant husband. we had an incredibly lucky life together. we loved each other very (ani) much and were so happy together. i am incredibly proud of our children, their resilience and support over the past days. my family and i have been hugely comforted by the outpouring of love from people around the world. it's clear that michael meant a huge amount to so many of you. we're taking comfort in the fact that he so very nearly made it.
3:02 pm
the statement goes on to say... he did an incredible climb, took the wrong route and collapsed where he couldn't easily be seen by the extensive search team. michael was an adventurous man, it's part of what made him so special. we are so grateful to the extraordinary people on symi who have worked tirelessly to help find him. some of these people on the island, who hadn't even heard of michael, worked from dawn till dusk unasked. we're also very grateful to the press who have dealt with us with great respect. finally, clare says... i feel so lucky to have our children and my amazing friends. most of all, i feel so lucky to have had this life with michael. thank you all. our correspondentjoe inwood our correspondent joe inwood has our correspondentjoe inwood has the latest from the island of symi. i've been here for three orfour days now following the attempt to
3:03 pm
find michael mosley and you hear that statement from clare bailey mosley and it is very sad, it is a very heartfelt statement for a man who so many people clearly loved and held in great affection. he was a very well—known broadcaster, a doctor, a medical expert but he was also a husband and father. a friend to many people and that is what came through in a bear. —— that what came through in there. as you say, it was the news that we had been expecting from this morning and certainly, the longer it went on, the longer the search went on, the more it was that he would be found alive and well. it is incredibly hot here, incredibly difficult conditions, those hills behind me, those aren't the hills he was found on but but they are very similar geologically. they are the same sort of height, it is very rough terrain, very difficult, very exposed. it was right in the middle of the day and it would have been incredibly arduous climb. clare bailey mosley�*s statement makes it very clear that he had tried a very difficult
3:04 pm
climb as she points out he had very nearly succeeded. we were just around the bay, he was found at a place called agia marina and we were there just 30 minutes or so ago on a boat and you could see it and you could see the point at which he had been found and he was so nearly made it down towards the beach. this is the point that she was making, for the family, they got some comfort that he got so close. obviously, in the end, he did not make it and the discovery today of his body is very, very sad news. of course, for the people here who try to find him but most of all for the mosley family. michael mosley is well known for bbc programmes including their pod cast just one thing in the series trust me i'm a doctor. david sillitoe has been looking at his career. now, the diet i'm about to go on was developed by a nutritionist in toronto and... michael mosley, a trusted, charismatic guru of good health. one way to tell if you're sleep deprived is to go to bed in the middle
3:05 pm
of the afternoon and... a tv producer and presenter always happy to be the guinea pig in the search for a better understanding of the science of sleep, fitness... and it's also good for my heart and lungs. ..and weight, most notably in 2012, when he was diagnosed with type ii diabetes. i've got this list of the things that i am allowed on my new diet and the things that i am definitely not allowed. his subsequent weight loss using intermittent fasting inspired thousands to follow the 5—2 diet. this scanner will give the best images of my heart that money can buy. his enthusiasm for experimenting on himself had been inspired by a scientist who had proved that ulcers were caused by bacteria by deliberately infecting himself. michael mosley realised it would make great television, and helped take science out of the lab and into people's lives. nothing seemed to daunt him. here he is infesting himself with tapeworms. there they go. but there was always a serious point. if type ii diabetes could be
3:06 pm
reversed or chronic insomnia helped, he wanted to test it himself. didn't really think this one through! there are many who say he changed their lives. david sillito, bbc news. broadcaster doctor phil hammond met michael mosley early harnessed to film career. hejoined me to pay tribute. it film career. he “oined me to pay tribute. , , , ~ ., tribute. it is very shocking, and very sad. _ tribute. it is very shocking, and very sad, particularly _ tribute. it is very shocking, and very sad, particularly hearing . very sad, particularly hearing claire's praise of mike, his legacy lives on. his infectiousness and love of science and his unique skill to explain it. i met him in 1995 and i had just broken the story of the bristol heart scandal in private eye and outed myself and mike came up with this idea of a show called trust me i'm a doctor. he initially wanted to present it and to talk about lifestyle measures you could take. he wanted to challenge the
3:07 pm
medical establishment, he wanted to talk about huge inequalities in health care. bristol was about child heart surgery but we knew were all the bodies were hidden because we are both doctors and i was still working be exposed inequalities in all sorts of areas such as, cancer care, heart disease care. it had quite a profound influence in bringing things up like the national institute of care and excellence and the quality control measures that followed. that is sort of forgotten now, he moved but only on to talk about lifestyle stuff but early on in his career he was quite political and quite mysterious. every episode what dean had what you would have you expletive exposing areas of the nhs doing not so well in other areas doing so well and why can't everywhere be at the same standard. i remember... his encyclopedic knowledge, he was a very good editor to work with because he was across all their stories in minute detail and he was really enthusiastic. i was not surprised when he came to
3:08 pm
the bank became present himself because he had the gift of communication as a david sillitoe said, the number of people that would queue up at his event not to get signed covers of his books but to say thank you, i followed your advice and it made a huge difference to me. i think a fitting legacy would be to free if we want the nhs to survive in future, everyone is putting their money on prevention instead of pulling people out of the river of illness, we need to wander upstream and stop them getting in the first place and that was my�*s thing. though he shied away from party politics, we sort of need to politicise his advice. we need to absolutely throw everything into prevention so the really good advice that he had, we need to make it available to everybody. we can improve the obesity rates and general health rates. i think that legacy will live on, people will remember him and people smile. anyone who met mike will always smile because he was always such a loving, kind, generous person he had slightly infectious and impish laugher. i am very sad that i am
3:09 pm
also really proud to have had him in my life. an absolute joy to work with him. he my life. an absolute 'oy to work with him. , u, my life. an absolute 'oy to work with him. , , my life. an absolute 'oy to work with him. , with him. he 'ust came across as somebody. — with him. he just came across as somebody. and _ with him. he just came across as somebody, and i— with him. he just came across as somebody, and i think _ with him. he just came across as somebody, and i think your - with him. he just came across as - somebody, and i think your comments there justify somebody, and i think your comments therejustify this, he reallyjust cared about people and wanted them to be as healthy as they could possibly be. to be as healthy as they could possibly be-— to be as healthy as they could ossibl be. , ., , ., , possibly be. yes. people who give up medicine always _ possibly be. yes. people who give up medicine always slightly _ possibly be. yes. people who give up medicine always slightly guilty - possibly be. yes. people who give up medicine always slightly guilty of - medicine always slightly guilty of it. he did ppe first and then he tried his hand at banking and then he moved on to medicine. he wanted to be a psychiatrist but he found front line psychiatry at that time to be disillusioning so he wasn't sure whether to take a house job or apply to the bbc. he got into the bbc training programme. i think he felt that slight guilt about having spent all this time investing in his medical training he ought to do something with it. although we are a bit sniffy about tv doctors, the best ones reach far more. an average gp will see maybe a0 or 50 people a day, a really good broadcaster will reach millions. if you get your message right and you do it in a way
3:10 pm
that empowers and encourages people to make small changes. it isjust that empowers and encourages people to make small changes. it is just a brilliant title, just one thing, just one thing at a time. small incremental changes in your life can improve your health so i think that even though he wasn't a practising nhs doctor, he proudly helps more patience than most of us with a lifetime of dedication to the nhs. he was very modest about it and, as are people have said, he did not seek fame orfortune, and he are people have said, he did not seek fame or fortune, and he was very successful at what he did but it was just... it was almost like an enthusiastic schoolkid, he would go down a rabbit hole and he would ferret out a bit of research and he'll be very excited about it. he just loved the process of science and he loved explaining it, he will be missed. as i say, his legacy will live on. ., ., ., live on. doctor phil hammond there. the bbc live — live on. doctor phil hammond there. the bbc live page — live on. doctor phil hammond there. the bbc live page have _ live on. doctor phil hammond there. the bbc live page have many - live on. doctor phil hammond there. the bbc live page have many more l the bbc live page have many more tributes to michael mosley, they have been coming in all afternoon, you can go on a website to read them and the latest updates are available to you there. the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says

celebrations and the release of those four hostages. but we have heard of some of the families of the hostages that remain in gaza and there are 116 people who were captured on october seven who are still being held and we think around a0 of those are dead. the families of those people are concerned, i think, that this will embolden prime minister netanyahu to think that he is a strategy is working. he thinks that the best way to get the hostages out is to apply military pressure on hamas and yesterday's operation will encourage that view from him. the numbers, though, in gaza have caused outrage. 27a people killed according to the hamas run health industry, as you say, and 700 injured. we have seen the two central hospitals in gaza completely overwhelmed with the number of patients having to treat. this was a hell system that was already pretty

don't forget, stay with us here for all the latest on all of those news stories, you are watching bbc news. hello there. we started part two of the weekend. on a fine note, there was plenty of sunshine around, but since then, skies have clouded over for many. and we're seeing patchy rain pushing into northern ireland, parts of northern england, the midlands and wales, all courtesy of this weather front here, which is popping up as it's sliding its way south eastwards. all the while, this area of low pressure bringing strong winds to northern north east scotland with plenty of blustery showers here, some good sunny spells continuing across scotland and also south west england, the channel islands, but elsewhere it's cloudy with that rain popping up across northern ireland and spreading across the irish sea. so temperatures a bit more disappointing because we've got more cloud around, down to around 17 or 18 degrees as we head
3:26 pm
