what's happened to 19 year old jay slater . does it feel now, jay slater. does it feel now, nick, as though it's slowed down in terms of the story here? because it seems like there are different twists and turns every day from where we are here in the uk . the uk. >> yeah, well, i think here, yes , >> yeah, well, i think here, yes, certainly the canarian local media, the spanish local media haven't really touched upon this story at all for the last few days. but obviously i think in the uk the momentum still seems to be, growing and in fact gathering pace. as of yesterday, we managed to identify one of the people that, jay slater stayed with at that airbnb, a guy called ayoub kassim, who my colleague went to speak with last night. and, he, he said that there was nothing sinister untoward that happened. and we should stress that the police have deemed, this gentleman and another who hasn't yet been identified as irrelevant to the case. but, edem told my colleague that jay slater arrived at the house alive ,

arrived at the house alive, quoting him, and he left the house alive . but i can tell you, house alive. but i can tell you, the other day when i went there, the other day when i went there, the police were back at that house. they they left it as, just as i arrived and they were taking off. forensic style dust covers on their shoes. and i approached the police officer and i asked him if he could tell me what he'd been doing and whether it was connected to the investigation. he said it was, but he couldn't tell me anything else because it was covered by judicial, judicial secrecy, >> which is interesting, isn't it ? because if the media aren't it? because if the media aren't covering it there in tenerife particularly, you wonder whether the police are going to keep up their sort of enthusiasm. you know, there are parallels, aren't there? of course, with madeleine mccann's disappearance, somebody on houday disappearance, somebody on holiday , something extraordinary holiday, something extraordinary happens and that person is not found. now, of course, the mccanns tried really hard and still do 20 years later at least i think it is now, isn't it? since madeleine went missing maybe 15 years, to find her. do you get the impression from jay's family that they are just

going to keep trying and trying and trying to keep this in the pubuc and trying to keep this in the public eye? >> yeah, very, very much so. i've spoken to them on and off for the past two weeks or almost three weeks now, since jay went missing on june the 17th. and they have insisted that they will remain here. and even though the search, the physical search for him on that mountainside where his phone last pinged is over, the police, we should say, have said that the investigation remains open and they they are continuing to pursue all avenues. they won't tell us what those avenues are. so it's a bit, difficult to know what exactly they're looking, whether there is a criminal aspect to it. but to go back to your original question. yeah, warren, that's, jay's father and his mother, debbie, have said that they will remain here for as long as it takes. as long as so they can find out what exactly has happened to jay. >> they have an interesting relationship. >> of course, at the moment with the world of the media, not just the world of the media, not just the mainstream media like us, but also with social media and how that can be a necessary

evil, a harm and a hindrance. and also a benefit for them. this £48,000 that they've raised, just, just look at this gofund me money, nick, they say they're going to help to keep some tiktokkers out there, aren't they? who are effectively doing the job of the police? >> yes. and that sort of that this afternoon. a slight twist in that, one, one tiktoker who they named on their gofundme page yesterday, who they said they were helping has, has now asked to be taken off that update on facebook saying that or he claims he alleges that he hasn't received any funding at all and he's had to pay it all out, pay for it all out of his own pocket. the other tiktoker, paul arnott, he's a dedicated hiker and mountaineer. he is, he's saying he's also self—funding and he's insisted he doesn't want anything at all from the family. and i must admit, i've seen him up there several times, and he seems to be the more serious , shall we be the more serious, shall we say, out of the two. he's he has

experience in climbing in scotland and various other places. all over the world. so he is still out there. he still has the backing of the family. but other than that, there is no active searching up there and the family are saying that all this, they're they're saying it's unnecessary background noise, all this speculation that there is on tiktok, on, on the, on x, on facebook everywhere. they're just saying it is hampering the police investigation. and they're also they're hurt with some of the comments that are really deeply personal and offensive as to what may or may not have happened to jay. and they've said, look , please stop. put said, look, please stop. put yourselves in the shoes, in our shoes. you know, if you wouldn't say this sort of thing to a member of your own family, why are you saying it to us, >> nick, his friend, lucy mellor, she was. >> she's only 18. she's the girl that he was there with as one of his friends and was the girl who said that she spoke to him on the phone and he had 1% battery left. why has she not spoken to the media? do you know? because

it's sort of her absence that is then raising suspicions that possibly there were up to they were up to no good. >> well, yeah. i mean, obviously we have to be very careful in what we say, but i mean, we she did to give her credit, she did speak initially to the media. she gave a couple of tv interviews without, showing her face. she was filmed from behind. i spoke with her several times on the telephone, and i met with her twice in that first week. she. she told me that , week. she. she told me that, yeah, she'd come out here with jay. she'd been on holiday with him. she'd gone to this new rave generation festival with one of his other friends called bradley hargreaves and another boy, and, she says that, yes, the last she saw of him was on, on the early hours of june. the 17th at papagayos nightclub, where he said that he was going to go on to this house with these two, these two guys that they'd met whilst she was going to go home. and then, as you said there in your intro, she received a phone call from him about 850 in the morning saying that he had one

battery or 1% left on his battery, and he was in the mountains, lost, dehydrated and trying to come home. but yeah, since since she spoke then we haven't seen or heard anything from her at all, we understand that she has been questioned by by the police as well, but again, we should stress there is no suggestion that she's involved in his disappearance at all. absolutely. >> oh, absolutely. no, i think that's really important to point out, nick. actually, it's just at the moment, it feels like there are so many possibilities of what could have happened to jay. and it feels it's very difficult, isn't it, to narrow down what they are. it feels irrational that he would have wandered off the path and into the hillside when he was just trying to get home in the morning, having been up for possibly for three days. why didn't he just wait for a bus? but therefore, why was his phone in that bush? if and just just we're up against the clock a bit. but in terms of the location of that phone, am i right in thinking it's incredibly specific where the ping incredibly specific where the ping went from?

>> yeah. so they're saying that it was in this area of masca. well, it's in a masca gorge. so down a, a mountain side. but i've been speaking to a british army reservist who went up there, spent the weekend up there. he actually found a pair of sunglasses, which he handed in to the police, the police have said that they're not jay's. but again, he pointed out that the police were back at the airbnb the same day . sorry. the airbnb the same day. sorry. the following day, after he found the sunglasses and after he'd been asked to come in and give a subsequent second statement about exactly where he found those sunglasses. i mean, i can only assume and i think it's probably an educated guess, that maybe they were looking for some sort of dna or fingerprints in the house to match those glasses. rule them out to the investigation. we're not obviously being kept up to speed, but yeah, he did tell me that he thought where the ping came from was rather surprising because it was really steep to get to, and it was covered in undergrowth and cacti. and he said to get there, you'd have to need a machete. or he suggested someone had thrown the phone into, into that underground .

into, into that underground. >> well, it's certainly a mystery, nick. and you're doing a great job out there of keeping the public informed. so thank you so much. senior global reporter at mail online, nick pisa there. now it's independence day in the us, of course, but democrats and joe biden in particular don't have an awful lot to celebrate. biden's coming under increasing pressure to withdraw from the us presidential race after a terrible showing in last week's debate with donald trump . debate with donald trump. biden's press secretary has said that he won't quit. but if he doesn't impress in a tv interview tomorrow, it's understood that dozens of house democrats are prepared to ask biden to step aside. meanwhile, the democrats have criticised trump after he was filmed attacking biden and vice president kamala harris. >> why did they do with the debate the other night? oh, fantastic. amazing. that old broken down pile of yeah, it's a bad guy. he just quit, you know, he's quitting the race. is that right? yep. i got him out of the race. and that means we have kamala. i think she's going to

be better. she's so bad. you're so pathetic. it's so amazing. it's just so bad. so i just can't imagine. but can you imagine that guy with the deaung imagine that guy with the dealing with putin and the president of china, who's a fierce person? he's a fierce man. very tough guy. >> so that was president, president trump, former president trump caught on a hot mic there on a on somebody filming him without him knowing. let's speak to the founding director of the ucl centre on us politics, doctor thomas gift, good. good evening . thomas. good. good evening. thomas. thank you very much for joining us. that's the newest story of the day. this footage of trump. how is he reacted to that? because he didn't really say anything particularly shocking . anything particularly shocking. he said that biden is going to step down. that he's useless, and that kamala harris would effectively be even worse. >> right. and i think that this is right in line with what we would expect trump to be saying in private. i don't think that anyone is surprised, which is probably why this isn't as much

of a bombshell story as it typically would be for a normal president. really. trump has been trying to keep a low profile over the last week or so, simply because he's looking at what's happening to biden and saying , if the democrats want to saying, if the democrats want to self—implode, i'm just going to let them and not get in the way of that news cycle. >> he was caught once before, of course, >> talking when he didn't know that he was being recorded, which was when he made that comment about grabbing women. in a really pretty gross and derogatory way that he wrote off as kind of bought locker banter, didn't he? he said it was just sort of locker room banter at the time, does he have to come out and dispute what he said here? i would imagine , no, i here? i would imagine, no, i would imagine, no. >> i think he likes this being out here, to be perfectly honest, he's not going to say that, but i think many of his supporters are cheering on this kind of rhetoric and wish that he went forward. and, you know, there's nothing here to suggest, oh, i'm scared of biden or i'm scared of harris. it's basically

bnng scared of harris. it's basically bring it on. this is the kind of language that trump uses publicly out in the open, and i'm sure he'd be willing to say this, if he were on the mic that he knew. but since he's doing it off the mic, i doubt he's going to make any kind of public statement. >> yeah, absolutely, so what's going to happen with biden now with joe biden ? what are the with joe biden? what are the steps if he refuses to step down? thomas? what happens then ? down? thomas? what happens then? >> i think if he refuses to step down, then he's the nominee. i mean, there's really no other clear path to a different alternative, if he does step down, then things get really interesting. and i think that we could see kind of all chaos and disorder. break loose at the convention in august. it would be a free for all. and that's, i think what is one factor that biden is considering when deciding whether to step down or not? because if he's not the nominee, there's just going to be so many , so much sort of be so many, so much sort of horse trading and backdoor deals

and lobbying for different candidates and the democrats could really come out of the convention looking very disunited, even if they are kind of able, in the end, to rally around an alternative. >> how many democrats have publicly started to make noises that he should go because of course, it's one of those situations where probably when one of them says something, then everybody else will want. but nobody wants to be the first to put their head above the parapet and say, i don't know whether you've noticed, but this guy's not fit for office. >> and i think that's going to be the question whether the dam just breaks, and then everyone feels like they have a permission slip to say biden should really step down right now. really what we're seeing is criticism from the pundits, from the columnists, from the political strategist. the commentariat, so to speak. but with, with the few notable exceptions , really, elected exceptions, really, elected lawmakers have at least publicly said that they're going to support biden. i think behind the scenes there's a whole different conversation going on. but this is the front that they are giving to the public.

>> okay. all right. thank you so much. the founding director of the ucl centre on us politics, doctor thomas gift there. oh, and happy independence day to you. now coming up, an amazing story about kids parties and how ridiculously spoilt some children are. there are parents who are actually setting up gift list gift lists like a wedding list. but for kids who are as young as 6 or 7, sometimes with items there costing up £250. yeah you're right, see you in

well, what did you get as a birthday present when you were a child? i don't know, maybe a jigsaw rubik's cube, maybe a new football. well, times have changed. there's a new trend of parents setting up gift lists for kids parties. you have to scan a qr code on the invitation, which takes you to a website where you can click to buy something extravagant. why

would they do this ? well, would they do this? well, joining me in the studio is journalist and commentator judnh journalist and commentator judith da silva. good evening to you, giuditta, this just blows my mind, this trend and it's gathering pace. why are parents doing this, do you think? >> i think it's kind of a collection of a number of things based on the kinds of young people you have today between gen z and now, the ever growing, the evolving gen a, you also have social media where everyone has this aspirational interpretation of themselves. they present to the world, and you desperately wish reality would measure up to it. so it's organically a child of 6 or 7 wouldn't want these things. they don't care enough, but what they don't care enough, but what they do is because they account this particular account was given by a mother who's also a teacher. she made the point of saying that even my daughter will be receptive of me doing things that create an appetite in her going forward, and an attitude. so you have children of an age that they're very receptive, that, oh, if i have a massive birthday, i have a mother who always wants big and shiny and

extravagant. that's what i should be. and so that snowballs. and then it's almost keeping up with the joneses. so i think it's parents with an aspiration to be better, be bigger, and funnelling it in a way that you can't say no to a child, but it reflects on them to say that i'm the mother of the child who had the amazing party. so it's kind of a self—perpetuating spiral where you're using an innocent child that kind of emotionally manipulates everyone into doing what is best for them, to kind of tap into your personal desires. >> and i think also it's probably a bit of working mom guilt in that, you know, we feel guilty. we think , well, it'll be guilty. we think, well, it'll be all right. we'll get them an expensive present. sometimes we try and, like, buy their happiness. i think i, you know, i stop myself from doing it, but the temptation is definitely there, what would your mother have said when you were younger? if you were having a birthday party aged 6 or 7 and you said, i'd really like a £250 handbag mummy from a designer dare, but

then that's when also culture comes into it, because i'm nigerian, i have a roman catholic, very traditional nigerian mother. >> i wouldn't even have the audacity to say something like that. i'm just happy i'm getting a party and i had the kind of mother where you know it, like the lady in the article said, being the personal touches matter. so the colours. i like the things i've been talking about all year. it might be just about all year. it might be just a birthday cake in the shape of minnie mouse, and that just makes me personally happy. that's the kinds of things that would fuel gift giving or party throwing. so it's not so much big and resplendent. but indeed, when i went to school, there were girls that were known for having the ultimate parties. everyone wanted to go to them. so that feeds into the parent pressure that, okay, my daughter really wants i don't want it to be an outcast. she wants to go to the party to get into this party. i can't make the parents angry. we've got to pay. get a gift from this list. >> this. we're talking about this because it's a male journalist who's a mother who's written about written about this in the paper. and as you say,

she's also a teacher. and she said the first invitation came in and she thought, oh, this is weird, but she didn't want to be the one person to say no. and then the second one came with then the second one came with the same thing. and by the third one she said, no, i'm not doing it. and she said she bought the cheapest item on the list. that was £25. designer perfume. and the second time there was a £30 perfume. so she bought it. and by the third one she thought, no, i'm going back to what i would normally spend for a child under the age of ten, which is £10 on a present. and as soon as she did it, then the other mum said, i'm so glad you've done that. we're going to do the same thing too. >> isn't it ironic that the peer pressure that you're worried about, you're worried about protecting your children from, is going on amongst the parents? yeah, because everyone was going to concede to this ridiculous list because you don't want to be the odd one out. and as soon as one person was bold enough to say no, the others followed suit. so there it's you never grow out of it. people want to fit in. people want to be part of a community. and once you set a tone where this is your access door in, to be part of this

elite community, you feel pressure to do so because you never want to be the one that's left out, and you don't want your child as well to be the one who doesn't buy something off the list. >> because the chances are the child who's got the indulgent parent is going to say, well, you know, olivia bought me the £100 handbag and you bought me a comic with a magnifying glass on the front of it or whatever it is. >> and they didn't. she the mother of the celebrants, didn't even give out thank you cards. that was part of the party thing. you'd sit down with your gifts and write out a thank you note to everyone who sent you something. so there's already this sense of entitlement and expectation, and the children are just absorbing it. so indeed, when you think back to what it's like in school , what it's like in school, children are territorial sometimes, and then when you're known as being the cheap person at the party, that stigma attaches to you, and then you go back to your mother, you feel bad and she thinks she needs to up the ante for the next party. >> and that's where it all starts to go wrong, because it becomes a self—fulfilling prophecy that you're all doing it. i mean, my girls are now 15

and 13, but i remember when they were about six and eight, i didn't even get around to a birthday party. i had too much on. i can't lie, judith. it was a busy year and they just didn't get one. so we had one in december. yeah, and i sort of passed it off as well. it's a christmas present, but it's sort of your birthday present and i'm doing it together because you kind of similar age. and that'll be it. and they've never forgiven me. they still take the mickey out of me for this party that i did in december. >> they will because even going back, like with my mum, i think when you when you say the thing about what working mom's guilt. she must have had that she's a lawyer. she was working a lot, so. but she always worked overtime. i don't know when she slept, but i think it was like, just express the love in such a visual way that they can really feel it. so they know how much i care. i'm compensating on this one day for every mistake i might have made throughout the yeah might have made throughout the year. so again, you feel sorry for the parents, but again, you have to know it's that emotional motivation as opposed to something else. >> and what really struck me when i was reading this article, actually, in the mail, is that

it was about teaching the children that stuff is more important than people. yeah, that stuff is what matters. what people bring. and i would always say we had a family party this year where it's my mum's 80th, my dad's 88th, 88th, and my mum put on the invitation. we want your presence, not your presence. and i thought that was that was perfect. right. thank you so much. you're going to be joining me a little bit later as well aren't you. right. still to come. we're going to have the latest great british sport and what a weekend for it. we're going to be joined by none other than travel guru simon calder. he's not talking about sport, he's talking about travel. he's in zante reporting on those wildfires and hurricane beryl. don't go anywhere.

good evening. it's 6:34 pm. this is dewbs& co tonight with me. bev turner. let's see what you've been saying at home. biden, about whether he should step down. helen has said, i feel so sorry for biden. his family are a disgrace. not

helping him step down. he's clearly not well. victoria trump says what he thinks nothing worse than what he says in pubuc worse than what he says in public at a rally. if anything is holding back, biden is putting us all in danger and on kids parties , judith has said, kids parties, judith has said, unfortunately, this is the world we live in. when wedding lists first started, everyone thought that it was horribly avaricious, and now it's just the norm. i really hope it does not become the norm with kids parties though, judith, but i fear you might be right. okay. the king has sent his and his family's heartfelt condolences to the people of the caribbean. following the death and destruction caused by hurricane beryl. this comes as royal navy warship hms trent is being deployed to the cayman islands to offer support . meanwhile, to offer support. meanwhile, wildfires in greece continue to wreak havoc. so could this. what could this mean for your summer plans? the independent's travel correspondent simon calder joins us live now from zante. good evening, simon, lovely to see you as always. it looks a little breezy where you are, but no sign of any hurricane, >> no hurricanes here. we have

had strong winds all day , but had strong winds all day, but i've just seen an aircraft taking off over there . what we taking off over there. what we have seen earlier on this week were wildfires, there's different versions of how they started. some people say, well, it was just natural. others say there was possibly arson. there's a hillside about ten miles away from where i am, where you can see a patch maybe 500m square of, wildfire wreckage. and that was put out by the very, very efficient, authorities here. personally, i'm, i'm more confident about what's happening here than i am about the caribbean. and i've just actually picked up the latest from the national hurricane centre, for the us. they're based in miami, but they actually look after the whole of the caribbean in terms of what's happening, climatically , they happening, climatically, they say, and i'm quoting here, centre of beryl moving away from the cayman islands. this is

actually very good news, because we thought it was going to cause immense, devastation there. and as you say , the royal navy has as you say, the royal navy has deployed a ship there. but they do still warm with strong winds, dangerous storm surge, but where they're now looking and this is crucial for people who, like me, love mexico is they are saying that, damaging waves is expected on the coast of the yucatan peninsula of mexico by early on friday. so anybody who's perhaps flying over there, right now, it's going to find if they land in cancun, they will be arriving in cancun, they will be arriving in a place where there are severe problems. >> okay. and do you think at the moment, simon, what would be the advice for people going to mexico, maybe, or over to the canbbean? >> okay. so if you are lucky enough to be going to the eastern caribbean and that was the first place that was hit,

islands like barbados, saint lucia, grenada, where there's been i'm sorry to say, some devastation and some vincent particularly. so then actually, as long as your hotel is open, the airports are all functioning and that should be okay, jamaica has been having a really, really tough time. as far as i can tell. there are still some pretty heavy rain there. effectively, that you had hurricane beryl passing through in the past, 16 hours or so. airports are getting back to normal . and i understand that normal. and i understand that although virgin atlantic has cancelled their london to montego bay flight , actually, montego bay flight, actually, tomorrow we are going to see the british airways flight from gatwick to, montreal to kingston, jamaica. so people will be able to get in and out. if you're booked to mexico. well, i am really sorry to say that there's a possibility your

flight may go and crucially, if you're watching gb news in your hotel online at the moment and you're in cancun, it could well be that you will be staying there longer than expected. now, all of these destinations know that they've got to look after tourists. they all the hotels have hurricane plans and you simply need to obey the instructions for what needs to be done. >> okay, all right. brilliant. thank you so much. simon calder there. live in zante now. i was at henley regatta all morning. in fact , guests got in touch to in fact, guests got in touch to say. did i enjoy my boat trip? yes, i did, yes, very much so. it's been a long day, but it's lovely. it's a it's great to be on gb news on a day like this. we're talking about all sorts of different things. no politics, of course. and with me in the studio now is aidan magee to discuss. right. aidan england euros this weekend. let's start there. when is the match? are we going to win ? going to win? >> are we going to win? well, listen, they're going to have to improve markedly from the previous matches. as for matches they played, they haven't got

out of first gear in any of them really, notwithstanding maybe a first few minutes of a couple of the matches, they've really underwhelmed. they've flattered to deceive. we're meant to be overloaded with all these creative forward players who can do damage to any opponents on their day. we've seen very little of that, and they can't keep relying on moments of brilliance from jude bellingham, like the overhead kick that we saw and let alone certainly certainly not leaving it until the last 15 seconds. >> do we even know yet whether he's going to be allowed to play? because of course, he got in trouble in that last match, didn't he, for a crude hand gesture around the groyne area. he won't be the first footballer to have done that. in a moment of celebratory madness, but what's the what's the latest? does he even know if he's going to play? because they're leaving him hanging? >> not yet. i mean, unless the faa have been briefed on the side. listen, you know, just so you know, it's going to be a fine. so. yes, proceed with your preparations on the training pitch, including him as part of your plans, your formation, your your plans, your formation, your your tactics, etc. but i have to say, i mean, it's nothing new in players being being censured for

overcelebrating or maybe, you know, exuding a lewd gesture or even advertising a bit of politics or something like that. but for it to wait this long is unfair. i mean, it happened last.it unfair. i mean, it happened last. it happened last sunday, bev, you know, it should have. it should have been dealt with at least within 48 hours of that. it's really unfair for any team to be going into a match on saturday. i mean, if there really is a possibility that they won't find out until saturday, as in hours before the game, i think that's grossly unfair on england, i really do, and a fine isn't going to affect him though, is it? a fine is not going to affect him. no, not not at all. and that's that's realistically what it's going to be. i don't think you ever would be. i don't think you ever would be so foolish. i mean, they, they are experts in, in, you know, poor conduct has to be said and, and incompetence. but on this one i don't think they would they would bring it upon england to, to to, offer anything more than a, than a fine. >> okay. so, and just, just sense if we win, if we win on saturday, what then if we win on saturday, what then if we win on saturday, we're going to face either the netherlands or turkey. >> but listen, let's get this first game out of the way first. because, look, if you've said to

england beforehand, you can have switzerland in the quarter final in dusseldorf and they're going to be, what, 50 odd thousand england fans there, plus loads more outside. i would think they would bite your hands off, to be honest with you. but switzerland for once and they don't have really any, any discernible history in major tournaments pnor history in major tournaments prior to now, but they just seem to have turned up. they've got an excellent back. three excellent goalkeeper granite jacka, who excelled in the premier league for arsenal quite was quite unlucky to be sold last summer. he's been playing out of his skin so england have plenty to do. it's whether they go for personnel changes. bev i mean you know they've they've stuck with this formation. they just keep playing this pedestrian football going sideways. there's no dynamism about them. there's no pace. the players look tired. they look a bit lazy out of possession as well. and that's a crucial, crucial part of the game. because if you're if your opponents have got the ball, you need to get it off them as quickly as possible. you at least need to recover position. they don't even seem to be doing that. gareth southgate though, is very stubborn. one option, though that may be open to him, is the fact that mark mark grey, the centre back who's been outstanding so far, is suspended

for this game owing to the fact that he picked up a booking in the last game. so they may go back with a back three with wing backs, maybe bring jude bellingham back alongside declan rice and they've got a little bit more options. and suddenly, suddenly declan rice doesn't look quite so sorry, harry kane doesn't look quite so isolated up front. >> okay, >> okay, >> somebody who isn't isolated, who normally is henman because not henman. murray murray. thank you. it's been a long day. with andy murray playing with his brother. >> yes. >> yes. >> leaving around about now. but i mean, when you see 615 on the bbc website or whatever, it doesn't actually mean that because it depends on whether the previous match is overrun. it's going to be great to see him. and we believe he's going to play with emma raducanu in the mixed doubles later in the week. as well. that's going to be fantastic. i think it's important that we saw him as a british audience, say a final farewell to the wimbledon crowd. we waited so long, i never thought i'd see beth in my lifetime. andy murray or any british player win the men's singles. i still haven't seen anyone win the women's singles at wimbledon, although we did see emma raducanu famously win the us three years ago, so i think it's good to say goodbye. i think. i think he wouldn't

have been afforded this at any other slam to be honest with you. it's only because it's a wimbledon and a couple of other players might be put out with the scheduling, although he's not the threat he used to be, of coui'se. >> course. >> okay. brilliant. aidan, thank you so much. see you. see you in the next hour. aidan magee there now, day three of henley royal regatta. earlier today, i was able to speak to sir steve redgrave. we're going to bring you that as well. i think in the next hour, but still to come. is there anything wrong with what's being dubbed a mixed weight relationship? well, netflix bridgerton is causing stir. i'm going to be debating that

next. welcome back to dewbs& co tonight with me. bev turner now a leading expert on weight loss. weight bias has written in business magazine forbes that we are still not ready to see mixed weight romances. this is in response to netflix series bridgerton, in which nicola coughlan, playing penelope,

dates colin bridgerton, a slim and attractive man now. joining me to discuss this is former presenter of supersize versus superskinny and a very familiar face to gb news emma woolf emma. this is an interesting concept, isn't it? it's one of those issues that you stop to think about and you think, oh, that's about and you think, oh, that's a good point. i can't think of many couples that i know in which there is a big weight disparity. has this journalist shone a light on something that we are neglecting to consider? >> i think it's an interesting point. i'm not sure it's about weight though, bev. i think partners do tend to match each other in the kind of attractiveness states, and i mean that in a very general sense. we all know that most three out of ten are, with three out of ten, most nine out of ten are with nine out of ten. i know these are kind of these are generalisations, but you kind of know what i mean. but i'm not sure that it's that thinner men don't like curvier women. i don't like curvier women. i don't think it's that. i think

maybe it's more about lifestyle and temperament . so i think that and temperament. so i think that people that are quite relaxed and quite maybe, maybe they're foodies, maybe they really like their food. so they tend to be chubbier and quite relaxed, quite chilled out, tend to be with similar people who are also foodies, quite relaxed, quite chilled out. whereas people like me, who are hyperactive , me, who are hyperactive, neurotic, sporty , kind of over, neurotic, sporty, kind of over, just over. yeah neurotic basically tend to be with other people who are also quite skinny, quite sporty, quite so. i think couples tend to kind of lifestyles match as well . lifestyles match as well. however, i do think there's a sort of gender disparity here because we all know women. i was thinking about abbey clancy. abbey clancy is a gorgeous , abbey clancy is a gorgeous, gorgeous model who's got like 3 or 4 children, and she's with peter crouch, who is very, very tall, very , very skinny. and

tall, very, very skinny. and he's not conventionally handsome. you know , he's you handsome. you know, he's you could even say quite ugly in a kind of charming way. but abby is with a man and abby is absolutely gorgeous, and he's kind of not gorgeous . kind of not gorgeous. >> he's got better with age, i would say. peter crouch, i think he's more attractive with age. >> they're both. >> they're both. >> they're both very slim, though, aren't they? very, very slim. very, very slender. and he's probably is a little easier in a household if you want to be thin and whatever of a certain way. if you and your partner are eating similarly and exercising similarly, etc. we just saw a clip. i just want to know, do you watch bridgerton? emma? are you watch bridgerton? emma? are you familiar with it? >> yeah, i've seen a few episodes. i think what's interesting about bridgerton to me is it's more that they had a female lead who isn't traditionally gorgeous. she is much shorter and much rounder than the traditional female lead, with a conventionally handsome leading man. >> yeah, and we're looking at her here. this is nicola coffey. she's very pretty, very attractive. what young woman is the weight issue part of the

storyline of the series? do you know, or is it just something that doesn't get mentioned? >> i don't know whether it's been brought into the series. i haven't seen enough of it, i know it's been sort of getting people chatting on social media and things, but i think it's very much about it's about temperament. it's about the fact that couples tend to like to do similar things together and it's that way. but i do think i really have to say, i think women are a lot more forgiving. i think women will often we see women with older men with balding. yeah, they are with balding. yeah, they are with balding men with men who could say are ugly. but i also think that lots of slim, sexy. and i'm using these terms in inverted commas, but slim, sexy fit men are do love curvy women. but i don't think we don't tend to see morbidly obese women with very fit, slim, sexy men. so there is still that gender disparity. on the other hand, i've known couples where one partner has

radically changed their lifestyle. they've lost a lot of weight, they've become quite gym obsessed and all of that and things have gone wrong. and so i think that lifestyle, actually, it's lifestyles that fit together, you know, it's do you want to sit on the sofa and watch lovely films and eat lovely food, or do you want to go run marathons together? >> yeah. yeah. well, i know with my partner i did put on the happy half stone when i first met him, i can't lie exactly. the happy half stone. i've been trying to get it off now, but it's fine. i love him, he loves me anyway. >> you fall in love, don't you? >> you fall in love, don't you? >> exactly. but like you say, it's that sitting on the sofa and watching the movies and suddenly food and just. yeah, everything's nice, you know, we've all been there. emma. >> yeah. go on. well, cook. well, cooking for each other is really fun when you're with someone, whereas it's really quite boring when you're on your own. >> yeah, exactly. emma. thank you. it's fascinating. food for. thought you might say emma wolf. there right. loads more to come in the next hour, including a petition in america that's gathering pace to stop prince harry from getting an award. for now, though , here's the very

now, though, here's the very latest weather a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb. >> news. >> news. >> good evening. welcome to your latest gb news and weather update brought to you from the met office. rain in the south to come on friday. a bit of a drier day though further north and it will be a little bit calmer than today. we've had low pressure in charge through today . still charge through today. still going to bring some windy weather to western areas of scotland through the night, as well as some further rain, and it's actually into the south—west. we start to see the next batch of rain arrive through this evening, so clouding over for parts of south wales, southwest england drier. ahead of that we'll see some spells of clearer weather as well. for parts of northern ireland, northern england as well. here temperatures could dip down a little, but for most of us it's going to be a fairly mild start to the day on friday and there will be quite a lot of cloud around quite a bit more than today across central and

southern areas of england, where there will be spells of heavy rain at times, most of us will just see a lot of cloud around and drizzly rain through the day. but there will be some heavier pulses, particularly as we head into the sea friday evening as well. further north, though much drier and clearer and actually across western scotland. yes, there's still quite a lot of cloud around to start the day on friday, but there'll be fewer in the way of showers, so i think quite a bit dnen showers, so i think quite a bit drier. and with the winds lighter it won't be feeling quite as fresh temperatures climbing a little bit higher through friday here than today. now further south, this band of rain will wiggle and wave through the day so. but it will unger through the day so. but it will linger for much of the day across the far south coast, though, could turn a bit drier for parts of the midlands, north wales, much of northern england as well. and in that sunshine it won't feel too bad. temperatures climbing a little bit higher. we've got 20, possibly 21 degrees in the best of the sunshine. the winds will be lighter as well. looking ahead to saturday, staying fairly unsettled. that rain will take a while to clear the east coast, and then it will be replaced by and then it will be replaced by a mix of sunshine and some pretty heavy, possibly thundery

showers through saturday and temperatures again a little bit below where they should be for this time of july. and that theme generally continues into sunday, though next week it does look like it might slowly start to warm up a little. see you later . later. >> looks like things are heating up . boxt boilers sponsors of up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> in the gb newsroom we bring you the news as it happens with our team of dedicated journalists across the uk. >> gb news brings you accurate reporting of the day's topical agenda. >> when the news breaks wherever and whenever it's happening, we'll be there. >> this is gb news, the people's channel >> this is gb news, the people's channel, britain's news channel >> other newspapers getting you down. >> my wife didn't divorce me that month , struggling to that month, struggling to separate the wheat from the chaff. >> i know that it's a bit of a circus at the best of times. >> well don't worry, headliners has got you covered. we'll take the burden of reading the day's news. and if we get depressed,

is a dangerous , predatory individual. >> his claims in court that he was a fantasist are simply not true , and were evidenced by the true, and were evidenced by the extent with which he plotted with others to carry out his wicked plan . wicked plan. >> gavin plum also has a history of attacking other women, attempting to kidnap them, using weapons and threats of violence. he is a dangerous man and i have no doubt he was determined to carry out the acts as he planned . carry out the acts as he planned. >> my apologies. that was greg wood, not nicola rice, now a former school teacher who had sex with two boys, has been jailed for six and a half years . jailed for six and a half years. rebecca joynes groom the teenage boys from the age of 15 and became pregnant by one of them. the parents of both her victims watched as she broke down in tears, while her sentence was read out at manchester crown court . scientists are warning court. scientists are warning that people using popular weight loss jabs like snp could be at high risk of losing their sight,

bad guy. he just quit, you know, he's quitting the race. is that right? yep. i got him out of the race. and that means we have kamala. i think she's going to be better. she's so bad. you're so pathetic. it's so amazing. it's just so bad. so i just can't imagine. but can you imagine that guy with dealing with putin and the president of china who's a fierce person? he's a fierce man, right? very tough guy . tough guy. >> well, joining me to discuss this is democrat strategist hank sheinkopf and spokesperson for republicans abroad, jennifer ewing. good evening both. great to see you, jennifer. ewing. good evening both. great to see you, jennifer . let's to see you, jennifer. let's start with you, will trump respond to this footage of him that has been leaked? like does he feel he's got anything to apologise for there? >> no. and actually, i if i'm not mistaken, i think he posted it on, truth social with a tagline saying let's stop taxing tips because, you see, he handed the caddy the golf caddy, some

cash for a tip. the caddy the golf caddy, some cash for a tip . so one of his cash for a tip. so one of his big policies that he announced in las vegas were, of course, you know, there's a lot of service industry people. and was the, he doesn't want to have taxes on tips. so no, i think he's quite right. other than the foul language. it's shows he's the same in front of a camera. that behind the camera. >> is there any speculation that he might have even set it up? >> jennifer i mean , i was >> jennifer i mean, i was watching it and it looks like a very good sort of campaign video that most people will say, you know, i don't think he said anything crazy there. and as a matter of fact, his language has been, quite subdued. you know, he hasn't been doing his usual bombastic tweets or truths about kamala. so, or biden. so it's probably pent up. right? he was probably pent up. right? he was probably dying to get something out. so yes, it's possible for sure, >> hank , let's let's come to >> hank, let's let's come to you, democratic strategist, do you, democratic strategist, do you think just so much we can talk about. let's talk about that. first of all, let's talk

about that trump footage. could he have filmed that himself? he does mention in there, doesn't he, about the fact. can you imagine joe biden or kamala harris with putin? it raises the question. it puts the seed of doubtin question. it puts the seed of doubt in people's minds. >> my colleague here is just it's poppycock. he did that off the cuff. and that's the reason why he's got real trouble. you see the problem? biden has is biden. but the problem the republicans have is trump. he's unmanageable. he says things that are ridiculous and that footage will offend women across the country. if the issue is choice or abortion. in the united states, women hear that kind of language about the vice president. united states, they're going to appropriately respond and vote against him. it's that simple. >> biden himself, though, is a liability right now. is he not? >> unquestionably. so >> unquestionably. so >> so what's going to happen? what's going to happen, hank? because if reports are to be believed, it's actually his wife, jill, who is encouraging him to keep standing for election again. do we know if there's any truth to that? and if that's the case, then what

happens next? >> no. no one really knows what goes on inside the white house, except those that are in small rooms and meetings upstairs. it's like a museum that has a place for the president to live. that being said, biden's trouble will be determined one way or another with the stephanopoulos interview, george stephanopoulos, a very good interviewer. he served in the white house. he understands politics, if biden fumbles there, then the game will be over and the democrats will be over and the democrats will be over and the democrats will be forced somehow to come up with an alternative. now, the question is, when can they do that, you know, the last time a president voluntarily left was richard nixon, and he was about to have the handcuffs put on him, but kind of wasn't voluntary. the one before that was lyndon johnson, who said in 1968 that he would neither seek nor accept the nomination of his party, which tells you that the party, which tells you that the party is going to make a decision, how they make that, in what way they make that. so the chaosis what way they make that. so the chaos is controlled. it's a different question. we don't we haven't seen that, you know, in i don't know when we've last seen it in american politics, >> george stephanopoulos so this is the host that's doing the interview tomorrow, what is he

like? it's not a name that would be particularly familiar with here in the uk. >> he's a very serious person. he is a very good interviewer. he is a very good interviewer. he was a major, person, a major, major player in the first clinton administration. he worked with bill clinton to get him to the white house, left when dick morris, which is an inside story, was, became the chief strategist and went on and created a very good career in television runs the runs the sunday show for abc news, with the political people are kind of a, you know, very, very much wanting to get there. and he's a very serious guy. he's not going to go in the tank because he's a democrat. he's going to do his job. >> is will it be live? >> is will it be live? >> sure. it won't be taped. >> sure. it won't be taped. >> oh, it's a, it's a so it will it so it's a live interview. it's not taped. it's going out live. >> so everyone's going best of my knowledge, to the best of my knowledge, it's live. yeah. >> okay, jennifer, no doubt as a republican, you'll be watching that on the edge of your seat. if joe biden does well and he's

alert and he's responding to questions quickly and thinking on his feet, can he undo some of this damage about the fact that he isn't fit for office? >> absolutely not. and i think i've been talking to you and whoever would listen for probably the last nine months that i probably the last nine months thati do probably the last nine months that i do not believe joe biden can be the candidate, in november, there's just no way. and for, you know, with regards to what happened on last thursday night with the debate, that's just when finally the media had to start admitting that the covering they've been doing for him for the last three years is not going to hold up anymore. and i agree with hank. actually, i do think george stephanopoulos will do a good job because his reputation is very much on the line as well . very much on the line as well. and, i'm not sure i'd want to lose my career over covering for someone who really should not be in office. it's becoming a national security issue. it's not just a bad day . not just a bad day. >> is that right, hank ?

>> is that right, hank? >> is that right, hank? >> it is a national security issue. look, the uk, the americans, the relationship they've had, the danger in the in europe right now, you can see it being played out in local elections. i mean, what is happening in france, what has happenedin happening in france, what has happened in the netherlands, what has happened in other countries? what is the relationship this peculiar relationship this peculiar relationship that's being developed between poland and germany is a response to fears about the security of europe and the whether the american nuclear shield will continue to be in place . these are real concerns. place. these are real concerns. if joe biden fails that stephanopoulos interview, they'll be tremendous movement throughout the world. why? because without the us, the fear of a world war three occurring is a serious one. >> who will take over from him, though, hank, if biden is persuaded or he voluntarily decides to step aside, and my gut instinct is he won't want to go down without a fight. but if he is persuaded to go, what happens then? is it just kamala will effectively become president by proxy ?

president by proxy? >> but there are two questions you're really asking . one is you're really asking. one is what's the process? and the answer is we don't know to because there hasn't been anything like this. and three, if the pressure on him is so intense to leave when and how this again going back to what lyndon johnson said, he said i will neither seek nor accept the nomination of my party. he's the candidate of the democratic party. therefore, there has to be a process for which he leaves and which he's replaced, and it will be likely at the democratic convention, it's hard to see how it gets done. another way. as to kamala harris, her numbers are up and polling data in a positive way, but she's not seen yet as a person who can lead the world in a moment of great disorder and chaos. >> jennifer ewing is a republican. who would you want to replace biden or would you really hope he's still there in november? >> i mean, as a republican i'd obviously want the weakest candidate to run against trump. however as an american, i'd like a really strong candidate. you know, there's 50% chance, that the democrat nominee will win.

and i want a good president for my country, for sure. but right now, i don't see how that candidate can be biden . candidate can be biden. >> okay. all right. thank you both very much. democratic strategist hank sheinkopf and spokesperson for republicans abroad, jennifer ewing. they're of course, keep your messages coming. gbnews.com/yoursay because in the next section, i'm going to be asking you, is it ever to okay cheat on your partner if it's with a celebrity? a new has found some eyebrow raising results. don't go anywhere

this is dewbs& co. tonight with me. bev turner. now. why is michelle not here? was. she is with patrick christie and loads of you at home in essex. the results will come rolling in this evening from the general election from 955 onwards. you do not want to miss the reaction here. i have to say i am

desperate to know what the results are going to be. i'm going to be back on britain's newsroom with andrew pierce from 930 tomorrow morning. eamonn and isabel will be doing breakfast as normal from six. just keep it on. gb news because it's going to be informative and also entertaining . now is it ever entertaining. now is it ever okay to cheat on your significant other? what if it's a celebrity? well, a new survey has found that over half 57% of women would let their partner have what's called a hall pass. if it was with somebody famous that they fancied. however, only 44% of men asked would be happy to reciprocate the favour. so i'm i'm sort of slightly baffled by this. i'm joined by psychologist lucy beresford is with me and also journalist judnh with me and also journalist judith da silva as well. now ladies, ladies , ladies, there's ladies, ladies, ladies, there's quite a lot to get into here. lucy what's going on here? if you're in a committed, loving relationship and your husband or your partner says to you, you're never going to guess who's going to be at this party tonight, it's going to be liz. i picked my other half secret crush, liz

hurley. not so secret anymore. liz hurley is going to be there. do you mind, bev, if i sort of go home with her and 57% of women are going, oh, go on then. why, yes, exactly. >> partly because i think they hope that it might happen to them, because actually it's the 57% of women who think, no, actually my husband or my partner would actually give me that free hall pass. and i think the issue is, i mean, it's quite interesting because the research is from ashley madison. now they're the married dating website people. so in a way , website people. so in a way, they already have their universe of people who are comfortable with non—monogamy. i think that's how we have to look at it nowadays. yeah, but this issue of a celebrity crush is so interesting because you can theoretically say , absolutely, theoretically say, absolutely, daniel craig, if that's what you want , safe in the knowledge that want, safe in the knowledge that daniel craig is not very disappointingly going to knock on my door any time soon. so it's a safe way of saying, i'm allowing you to have your fantasies, and it's very healthy in intimate relationships, to have a fantasy life, to have things that you can kind of push the boat out, but you don't

necessarily have to act on it. >> but therein lies sort of the potential peril theresa is. you might have your internal fantasy life, but what if you meet someone at the party that you've given your partner permission? or what if you just meet someone who looks really like them and you said, well, you know, lucy, you said, well, you know, lucy, you said, well, you know, lucy, you said that you know your partner, daniel craig. well, he looked like daniel craig, so that was okay. it's awful. >> i think it's like i think it's just a fantasy and something that's said in theory, but not in practice, because even the women that would be that would say that. oh, i'd give you the whole pass. it's done with the notion of reciprocal benefits that, oh, if mine came along, i'd get the benefit too. but in reality, if jennifer lopez came along and your boyfriend was into her, you wouldn't want it to happen. because every woman secretly knows that every human male on planet earth never does anything that he enjoys, only once. so if he gets j.lo one time, he's going back for another time. >> yes, it's the supermodel jacuzzi party theory that

actually, men are often only just one kind of hall pass away from actually straying. but at the same time, this is talking about something that we need to be talking about a little bit more in terms of non—monogamy, the fluidity of relationships, and the way in which people are perhaps saying to themselves, i don't know whether i could actually be with the same person for the rest of my life. that's fine. if the lifespan is 45 as it was, maybe, you know, 100 or 150 years ago. but generation z, they could live to 110. are they actually going to be prepared to be in the same relationship for 80 years? >> what are you hearing in the therapy room? are you hearing that people are bored with the concept of monogamy because, of course, social media has allowed people to spread their net, and there are many fish out there in there are many fish out there in the sea now. and you can just direct message someone and access is there in a way that it just wasn't even ten years ago. >> it's partly the access and it's partly the way that life has changed that. again, if you were a female and you had maybe got to 50 or 60 or even 70, your life would have been very

different a generation ago. certainly 50 years ago now, you could look around , maybe if could look around, maybe if you'd had children, they would have left the nest and you would think to yourself, do i have anything in common with this person that i am now sharing a house with, or for the next 40 years? do i want to give myself the promise because we only have one life? this is my really big mantra, and actually, it's one of the things that ashley madison would say is, do you actually want to be in a miserable relationship as a miserable relationship as a miserable spouse , perhaps miserable spouse, perhaps showing up as a miserable parent because your life isn't fulfilling and you're not feeling heard or validated in your primary relationship? would it be better to actually do something different and feel more validated? >> don't you think, though, greta, it does start to raise a sort of fairly . i find it quite sort of fairly. i find it quite worrying, this idea that because mainly i'm thinking about children and that the family unit remains the best, i would say arguably the best environment in which to raise children . ideally one man, one children. ideally one man, one woman, not exclusively . i do

woman, not exclusively. i do still think children can be raised in a loving home with two people of the same biological sex, but we have to be. we have to have these conversations because monogamy has served us quite well in that regard. yeah. >> and i think also when approaching the attitudes going into things like matrimony, it has shifted a lot, a lot since the latter. millennials, gen z, because there is this notion that we don't want the same oppression our parents had. we're more free thinking, we're more free spirited. and so they had this idea that when i go into a marriage, if it doesn't work out, i'll get a divorce. whereas generations before the idea of a failed marriage was something to be ashamed of, you have to stick it out no matter what, because going into it, they take marriage very seriously. and so you do thrive for the family unit to stay in one piece because, you know, so many other people depend on it. the sense of self is so profound now that even if a young person has children or any other dependents, it's the self—service of my emotions and desires that drive me primarily.

therefore, i will not stay in a situation that doesn't serve me or make me happy and yes, that is a glorifying thing for self, but it's a bit selfish when you think about other people that will be affected detrimentally. >> let's see what our viewers at home have been saying. william has said when celebrities cheat and a baby is the result, they call it a love child. that would not work at a football match. the referees love child. do you understand that? i don't understand that? i don't understand that, no. john says plenty of pretty girls marching around the streets to choose from. why celebrities? and lee said no chance cheating is cheating. if you feel the need to cheat, then you shouldn't be in a relationship. simple. is it that simple? >> it's never that simple. i think there are a lot of people who do cheat, but they don't actually have any intention of blowing up their primary relationship, and it's more about the way in which they could show up as a better version of themselves in that primary relationship, because there are other benefits of that. we've talked about children. you might have certain social standing because of your marriage, but actually, if you

if you think about your own personal fulfilment, which i was intrigued that you use the word selfish , i think sometimes you selfish, i think sometimes you do have to be quite selfish as a parent or as a spouse, because otherwise you get trodden on. it's that old oxygen mask theory. you must put the oxygen mask on yourself before you can help other people. that actually, if your needs are being met and in many, many long relationships, that does not happen or that all the marriage changes, different things happen. >> there might be i'd love to ask, is that thing that men say, yes, i slept with her, but i love you. i don't love her. it's meant nothing like as a therapist like that is probably therapist like that is probably the thing that frustrates women when we discuss these things. like that is not even a concept. because if you love someone, you don't do something that you know fundamentally will break their heart. >> but also it does speak to the way in which men can compartmentalise their activities in a completely different way, and they get a feel good release from sex, which is just a primary biological urge. as opposed to women who often can only have sex when there is also another

connection. >> and we're living in an age, aren't we, lucy? with a lack of emotional intimacy, we might have a lot of a lot more people would commonly maybe, i don't know. i don't know who's done the survey on it. a lot more physical intimacy with a lot more people than might have happened 20, 30, 40 years ago. but it does feel like with that extra physical intimacy, there's much less emotional connection. >> i think we are scared of intimacy, emotional intimacy . intimacy, emotional intimacy. >> and that's unfortunately what dating apps have in a way amplified that. it's much easier to make a physical connection than it is to really drill down and have a deepening connection. but ultimately, what we all want is a deep connection. it's what we kind of know from when we come onto this earth. we're physically joined to another human being. so that's our template. we want that depth of connection and that depth of visibility and affirmation that we get from childhood. >> and it's sort of like what, you know, your physical relationship is what distinguishes you from your relationship. you might have you might have close intimate

relationships emotionally with other people. but the fact that you are physical with one person, then monogamy is what differentiates it. and it is. when i read surveys like this, and particularly this app, i find fascinating that it's a married people's app where they can find somebody to cheat on whilst being married . whilst being married. >> and actually the last year, one of their highest sign ups was from single men. so there are single men signing up to ashley madison in order to have relationships with married women, and both those parties know exactly what they're getting into. for me, it's about the way in which this democratises the conversation in fact, there might be people even listening to your show tonight or watching it here and thinking, i want to now start to have a conversation with my primary partner about the things that aren't working, because whatever one might think about infidelity or cheating , it is a infidelity or cheating, it is a commentary on that primary relationship. something is missing. something isn't being talked about. >> and do you think, do you think cheating can ever make a relationship better ? you do.

relationship better? you do. >> well, my whole ted talk is on that infidelity. to stay or to go is a is a conversation about how your relationship can be improved because you have to then talk about the things that have gone wrong, the things that left your relationship vulnerable to outside influences. for sure, if it's a one off, absolutely. you can do that. >> theresa, would you be happy with what, a partner cheating on you and then going, it's not going to happen if i don't kill him. >> i mean, that's not happening. >> i mean, that's not happening. >> but darling, it's made us better look, look how much happier i am now, he says, just look how much happier i am. >> i'm so good now. >> i'm so good now. >> i'm so good now. >> i think it depends on who does the cheating. like you said, because of the ability for men to emotionally compartmentalise, if a woman cheats on them, they can figure out their way around it because they know how they would process doing the same thing. women are emotional creatures. there's more of a profound effect, feeling that there's betrayal. the trust is gone. that's why a lot of men who have talked about this, like on podcasts, they say once she's forgiven me, she'd never let me forget it. so have

we really moved on? yeah. so it's that kind of thing that it depends on who cheats, that it is possible if the if the woman's the cheater, not if the man is the cheat. >> and i wonder if it's about self—esteem slightly as well, isn't it. it's about self—esteem maybe. well i think for a lot of people in their primary relationship, they they become a lesser version of themselves, rightly or wrongly. >> and the affair enables them to get back to the person that they wish they were. >> well, if my other half is watching, you cannot sleep with liz hurley. if you ever meet her. just putting it out there on the record, right? lucy beresford, janita da silva. thank you so much. right. joining us now ben leo, tell us what's coming up at 8:00. evening ben . evening ben. >> hello, bev. good evening. cracking work down at henley this morning, by the way. good stuff. i was very jealous with you out in the sunshine and no doubt sipping the champers as well. also listening intently to that conversation about cheating. it is my $0.02. just don't bother. what's the point? if you're going to get married? why? why cheat, look, coming up on the show two hours celebrity crush. >> who's your celebrity crush?

>> who's your celebrity crush? >> it was a very strange one. so it was, suzanne shaw from hearsay. remember them? oh right. >> anyway. carry on. what were you going to say? we've just been like. we know you're a little bit better now. go on. >> and my missus. my missus knows that as well. she knows i like a blonde as well. but anyway, moving on a cracking two hours coming up, my show covering for patrick tonight is in the run up until the polls close at 10 pm. from ten. well, 955 actually is the official gb news coverage with stephen and camilla. then the watch party as well in between will be throwing to the party with jubes and patrick from then on. but i have in store for you, first of all, a good chat with former liverpool and england goalkeeper chris kirkland, who will be going over all the england coverage for the euros. of course we're playing switzerland this weekend. interestingly, chris kirkland has been well vocal about his own mental health struggles in the past with depression anxiety. i'm going to be asking him about the pressure the england boys are under this weekend . are we under this weekend. are we seeing such cagey performances because maybe there's a bit too

much pressure on the shoulders. do we have a role to play in the media to go easy on them elsewhere, top royal author angela levin, she's live in the studio with me. not sure if you saw this, bev, but, king charles has said that he wants to extend an olive branch to prince harry and maybe reconcile that relationship. i think he said royal sources reckon it's because he wants to finally see or spend some proper time with his grandchildren. does harry deserve it? after all that's been said and done? and also, bev, let me get your thoughts on this, lily allen, the pop star or formerly a pop star, she's been flogging pictures of her feet on onlyfans for £8 a month. so i'm going to be speaking to another onlyfans model who does the same thing , gets her the same thing, gets her trotters out, takes pictures and sells them to fans and people at like feet and just ask what is this, you know, this obsession and this new found love for feet, i guess. what's your thoughts on that? >> well, i have a psychotherapist beside me , lisa psychotherapist beside me, lisa beresford, who, frankly, while we take this break, i'm going to

be asking you, lucy, just what? fetish? >> foot fetish? yes. so that you're projecting all of your adoration on something that's very detached from everything else. >> so it's an emotional, dysfunction , in a way, again, dysfunction, in a way, again, it's more like fantasy. >> so you are not attached to the real person. you're attached to this fantasy object at the end of their body. >> wow . well, ben leo will be >> wow. well, ben leo will be the fantasy object from 8:00 here on a very exciting, very special night on gb news. ben good to see you. right. still to come on this show, gareth daley, a producer based in kingston, jamaica, is going to be discussing hurricane beryl, the havoc that it's causing there. plus aidan magee with all the latest on the sport, we're going to carry on talking about the foot fetish and what that could possibly mean. you in a few minutes.

welcome back to dewbs & co

welcome back to dewbs& co tonight with me. bev turner until 8:00 now. british number two. cameron norrie has beaten british number one jack draper in the second round at wimbledon to discuss this. and the rest of the sport today is aidan magee. did you see? i sort of pretended like a lot like i was what i was talking about then. aidan cameron, you did more than a passable impression, bev. >> you know, you've been unfair on yourself, so i just learned that the british number two is cameron norrie, and he's beaten the british number one, jack draper, in the second round. >> does that mean that jack draper goes out? >> it does. but you know what? he's actually i'm actually quite surprised by that result because cam norrie has not had much form this year. and he's the one who two years ago got to the semi—finals of wimbledon losing to novak djokovic. and you know, he's somebody who kind of bloomed a little bit late. i didn't see him play till about, what, 2019 i think it was. i think by then he was well into his 20s and he's in his late 20s now, but he struggled for form earlier in the year. he didn't. i don't think he won his one back to back matches before wimbledon. since march, which is quite a long time. but jack draper had an excellent start to

this tournament and obviously perform well at queen's as well. so for him to go out, that's a huge disappointment and a bit of a little bit of a shock as well, especially in straight sets. and we've got andy murray is on with with his brother jamie. i'll with his brotherjamie. i'll give you a score update as well if you if you want a second, hold the line caller. >> this is how we do it. >> hot off the press. if i can remember my pin code, it's on serve at the moment, so yes, it's on serve four. three appears in hikata, lead against andy murray and jamie murray. they started about. it's very early. first set. they probably only started about half an hour ago. but it's great to see andy murray on the court at centre court especially. >> does he does he look like he's in any sort of pain? because of course that's why he's not playing the singles, isn't it? >> not from what i've seen. i mean, look, it was always a huge ask to undergo even minor back surgery and play at wimbledon. he was determined to do it, but that's been the story of the latter end of his career. he's been absolutely determined to get on court. he knows he's not going to win slams anymore. he knows he's you know, he's earned a load of money. but i just think that that's a sign to me of a sports person who is trying

to cling on a little bit. they're not sure what they're going to do afterwards. and you see it a lot. that's when problems start. i'm really hope and pray that's not the case for andy murray. maybe he just hasn't, he? i know he has. yeah yeah she should have plenty to do but and you just and i just want to sort of have a word with in i'm sure his mom's had this conversation with him, but i just want to say to him, you've got a lot of years to run around after those children and go walking in heels and go on houday walking in heels and go on holiday and go surfing with them and see, like, protect your legs and see, like, protect your legs and your knees and your back. well, your back especially. goodness me. >> yeah, it's a blessing and a curse though, isn't it? having that mindset athlete that adulation, being on court, it really is a drag. identity is identity. >> yeah it is. i mean, i spoke to tony adams years ago. who was the england captain, england captain. you know, riddled with addiction throughout his career. and he was on right and he was sadly on the right side of that. now, having come out of that odd years ago. out of that 20 odd years ago. but he said to me in an interview, maybe five, six years ago, he said the biggest problem, even after i kicked the booze whatever else, he he booze and whatever else, he he got into a situation where he was clear of that. he was clear of all that. he retired in 2002 and he just forgot who he was. he was no longer tony adams, the swashbuckling england, england captain. he was no, no longer tony adams, a swashbuckling arsenal captain. he was just tony. and he found it quite difficult being being living in an an ordinary life.

>> yeah. and people say, what do you do for a living? and then they find it hard to answer that question. exactly. that's a good point. right. what else is going on? we've got grand prix this weekend. >> we've got grand prix at silverstone. yeah, that's a home grand prix. that's really impressive, that one. it's a great event, but sadly i think that it's going to be another lockout by, by max verstappen. it's become quite processional. we actually appreciate the story. earlier in the year involving geri halliwell and christian horner because it just it just made it a little bit more interesting momentarily because we've not seen anything, anything mildly fascinating on the track since hamilton and verstappen went toe to toe in 2021. but you know, okay, we've seen a few inroads from 1 or 2 of the drivers on the into the podium the last couple of times, but i think i think verstappen's lost something like only three of the last 27 grand prix or something like that. it'll get more interesting , we hope, next more interesting, we hope, next season when lewis hamilton goes to ferrari, hopefully if he's not too old so he can make some inroads into verstappen. >> too old? yeah, not too old, and i was at henley regatta this morning. it was day . what day is

morning. it was day. what day is it now? i've lost track. it's been a busy week. it started on tuesday. so it's tuesday, wednesday, thursday, day three of henley regatta today and i got to speak to five time olympic gold medallist sir steve redgrave . here he is looking redgrave. here he is looking very relaxed here. steve. is it a very different now that you can just be here in a relaxed capacity rather than racing? >> as you can see from my tie, it's quite windy today, but the problem was with outdoor sports that, yeah, pretty relaxed. is that, yeah, pretty relaxed. is that for me as chair, it's the preparation and getting everything ready in time, the amount of entries we've had, our biggest ever entry, biggest overseas entry of getting them through all qualifiers. and then there's a very short time from qualifiers finishing to getting the draw down, programming. and that once all that's done, then i can relax a little bit . i can relax a little bit. >> oh. it's beautiful, down there this morning, of course it's an olympics in only three weeks. i think . aidan, isn't it? weeks. i think. aidan, isn't it? in paris, steve was suggesting that we're going to do well in

rowing. i imagine we'll do well in the traditional sports that we do well. rowing cycling, i imagine possibly get some medals in the pool as well, usually we do one of the athletes, we tend to. >> yeah. we need i mean, overall, bev, i just want to see a decent olympics. it was so truncated last time because of covid and everything. i mean, we haven't seen a proper olympics since what, 2016. yeah. and i think paris is more than capable of doing a good job. it's been when in the event many times in the last 20 years. and it finally got it offering pretty much an off the peg olympics. obviously they've got the roland—garros for the tennis, they've got the stade de france, which was built for the 98 world cup, for the main track events. they've got the velodrome down there. they're well equipped for, for cycling and for for and all the activities in the pool, all the activities in the pool, all the activities in the pool, all the events in the pool. so i think it will be a good a good event. >> and there are time zone, which is very convenient and very good of them. >> it is exactly. and also because of the lottery funding, which has gone into the sport over the last 25 years or however long it is, we can go into olympics now really hopeful of getting a decent haul of medals. i don't think it'll be

anything quite like london 2012. that was a little bit special, super saturday and all that, but i'm hoping that we'll come out the other side of it with a decent haul of medals, and we always see some surprises. i mean, i'll give you an example. prior to beijing 2008, i was sent to , up to northamptonshire sent to, up to northamptonshire or, sorry, nottinghamshire to meet this, this young girl called rebecca adlington. and i was told by her coach and by her, look, we're just going to beijing for the experience. she was 16, 17 at the time, something like that . it's all in something like that. it's all in readiness for four years later. london 2012. anyway, months later, i get a call from a guy from the observer saying, have you got have you got any details for contact details for rebecca adlington or her team? i said, who's, who's she? and he said, he said, well, you're apparently you're the only british journalist ever to have interviewed her. i was working for the news of the world at the time and i said, yeah, okay, i've got some details for. for what, what's she done? and he said, well, she's finished so fast in qualifying . if she fast in qualifying. if she repeats that time tomorrow, she'll win a gold. i forgot about it again. hand it over the details. i came in from playing five a side the next day, looked at my tv in my front room, and mum and dad's. and there's you're standing on the podium with a gold medal around her neck. it was absolutely

extraordinary. that, to me is what the olympics is about, because prior to that, i don't think she really expected to win. and in that sort of six, eight weeks, i between me interviewing her and her going to the games, something clicked and she performed admirably and of course repeated it in 2010, 2012 as well. >> yeah. dame rebecca adlington. dame rebecca adlington i do apologise as she is now, absolutely. no i can't wait. i love i love the olympics. i love watching them. do you enjoy them as a sports journalist, you know what i do because it's something different. >> but i just prefer i prefer a you like your football. i do like my football. i like it, but i like everything you see. and it's a good chance to see sports you don't normally see. yeah, but i don't. i don't necessarily like the fawning over, over these olympic olympians who we don't see between times. it's not necessarily their fault, but it's the way the media gets involved with them. and then just drops them straight after the event as if they don't exist anymore. >> yeah, yeah, it can be hard. >> yeah, yeah, it can be hard. >> it can be difficult. so that's it. i'd like to see some of these sports in the mainstream between olympics as well. i don't think it's impossible. >> i think they would too. yeah. aidan thank you so much. right. still to come this evening a campaign is gathering pace to

got a fantastic evening of coverage. obviously, as the election results come out between now and first thing tomorrow morning as well, i'll be back on the telly at 930 for britain's newsroom. eamonn and isabel will be here at six. we have stephen dixon, we have camilla, we have patrick and we have michelle to take you through the night. so it's going to be unmissable. now to talk about royals. teresa da silva is back in the studio with me okay. giuditta. right. prince harry has been nominated for an award for the invictus games. and this is, the what's his name, the bloke tillman. pat tillman award. and pat's mother has said no, i don't think prince harry should have it. this is scandalous. what's happened? >> yeah. so this is the espy awards by espn. and this particular award is pat tillman. was this athlete who had a very promising career in american football . but in the wake of the football. but in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, he abandoned everything and signed up and joined the army. and then, unfortunately, he was killed in friendly fire at the age of 27. so this award is was

set up in his honour together with the tillman foundation. and it kind of recognises people who are rooted in the world of sport , are rooted in the world of sport, that do something exceptional, that do something exceptional, that goes beyond them, that they help improve, save lives. that's what it's all about because that's the legacy of pat tillman. so over the years, you've seen people in recent years, for instance, the buffalo bills management team who helped a player who had cardiac arrest in a match, they he's the reason they're still alive. they won it last year . my they're still alive. they won it last year. my marcus rashford has has won it. you've had us veterans who've helped create teams for people who have had life changing injuries. so it's always sporting people who have made their names through their sporting achievements. some things happened and they've done something extraordinary in this situation. mary tillman came out because they have a petition that's got up to 60,000 signatures. that's one thing, but it could be down to the harry hays train, which has been chugging along for years. so i set that to the side. what i really focus on is what mary tillman said , because at no tillman said, because at no point does she attack harry

personally , his character, who personally, his character, who he is. she just feels that there are others more deserving who don't have this privilege. so they've come from nothing to make something of themselves, and they've done something exceptional. >> so she said, there are individuals working in the veteran community that are doing tremendous things to assist veterans. these individuals do not have the money, resources, connections or privilege that prince harry has. i feel that those types of individuals should be recognised. i can't help but think harry should turn around and say, i agree, i'm not accepting this award. give it to somebody else. >> that is the only way that this could not happen because the position espn is in, you have to show that you have a robust system that does its due diligence. once somebody is given the award, that's it. you can't go back on it because you set a dangerous precedent. the only way this doesn't happen is if harry says, no, i can't accept it. but then you're in a very awkward position where you've denied invictus games the glory and also who gets it instead of you feels like second best. but also the difference is it's not about harry. if it was

possible to give invictus games the award, it deserves it on merit. >> yes it does, but it's just personally him because there's so like she said, he's a divisive character. yeah. >> talking of divisive characters . so meghan markle has characters. so meghan markle has now finished filming her new netflix show, which is going to show us what judyta. >> so she said it's going to be looking at cooking , gardening, looking at cooking, gardening, entertaining and friendship . entertaining and friendship. look, it's you. i think that it's actually playing to her strengths. when you think of the things she's done in the past. the fascination prior to her relationship with harry, the fascination with her from suits is this beautiful and daring, intelligent lady, and lifestyle is something that when you look at her instagram before she shut it down, when she got engaged, it's that's her wheelhouse. and you're thinking of people like gwyneth paltrow. that is a very big thing. so she's leaning to her strengths. and when you think of the life they have privately in montecito play into the fascination with that. so people get a kind of fly on the wall, look into what it's like

being meghan markle without all the furore, but it's just so shallow. >> and this i listen. i love suits, we are getting . towards suits, we are getting. towards the end of the first series, my partner and i, and there is nothing i like more when i'm not watching to gb news watch suits. she is a good, captivating, engaging actress. she should never have given up something that she trained for. this just feels a bit lazy and a bit vain. look at my lovely house. look at my flowers. look at. look at my beautiful cake that i baked. >> it's worked for so many people. when you think of selena, chef, that was a runaway success. the show runner on this series is the same person who did selena gomez's show, right? the director of this directed. my next guest needs no introduction with david letterman. these are very steady hands. so the way she's going to execute is i say reserve judgement until you see it, because i also think they will have learned from the mistakes of their tell all documentary on netflix and know to what share,

how to share it, and how much of it to share. >> but they can. >> but they can. >> they can be like tone deaf to the cringe. >> they will have learned. >> they will have learned. >> they will have learned from that because your team , their that because your team, their job, is to see the reception, to see the tone, take a temperature check and know going forward, let's not make the same mistakes . let's not make the same mistakes. because if she's also rumoured to be launching her american riviera orchard with this series, she needs to make sure she hits it out of the park. >> which is such a good point because this is effectively a netflix series that is nothing more than a long infomercial for the products that she wants to flog. >> we don't know yet. it might be. it might not be. it's come on, judy. i mean, i would do it if i was advising her. like, honestly, if i was her management team, i would say this is the way to do it. lean into what people like you, like about you. you look great on camera. don't oversell yourself. look at someone like rihanna, weiss fenty, such a runaway success because people feel that she wears her own underwear. she uses her own makeup and it's all about her. i buy fenty, i buy her people like you all. >> and she's also not just style over substance because rihanna is still a singer. she still

writes music, she's still producing music. and basically it looks like meghan markle is nothing but a professional housewife now that she married well and you too. >> she's starting a business. >> she's starting a business. >> beautiful ceramics dodi silver. i always love talking to you. you are brilliant. thank you. you are brilliant. thank you so much. right. i have had a great day. we have got a great night ahead of us on gb news. i'll be back on britain's newsroom at 930 tomorrow morning with andrew pierce. join me then. here's ben . then. here's ben. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar , sponsors of weather on . solar, sponsors of weather on. gb. news >> good evening. welcome to your latest gb news weather update brought to you from the met office. rain in the south to come on friday. a bit of a drier day though further north and it will be a little bit calmer than today. we've had low pressure in charge through today . still charge through today. still going to bring some windy weather to western areas of scotland through the night, as well as some further rain, and it's actually into the south—west. we start to see the next batch of rain arrive

through this evening, so clouding over for parts of south wales , southwest england drier. wales, southwest england drier. ahead of that. we'll see some spells of clearer weather as well. for parts of northern ireland, northern england as well. here temperatures could dip down a little, but for most of us it's going to be a fairly mild start to the day. on friday and there will be quite a lot of cloud around quite a bit more than today across central and southern areas of england , where southern areas of england, where there will be spells of heavy rain at times, most of us will just see a lot of cloud around and drizzly rain through the day. but there will be some heavier pulses, particularly as we head into the friday evening as well . further north, though as well. further north, though much drier and clearer and actually across western scotland. yes, there's still quite a lot of cloud around to start the day on friday, but there'll be fewer in the way of showers, so i think quite a bit dnen showers, so i think quite a bit drier. and with the winds lighter it won't be feeling quite as fresh temperatures climbing a little bit higher through friday here than today. now further south this band of rain will wiggle and wave through the day. so. but it will unger through the day. so. but it will linger for much of the day across the far south coast ,

across the far south coast, though, could turn a bit drier for parts of the midlands, north wales , much of northern england wales, much of northern england as well. and in that sunshine it won't feel too bad. temperatures climbing a little bit higher. we've got 20, possibly 21 degrees in the best of the sunshine. the winds will be lighter as well. looking ahead to saturday, staying fairly unsettled. that rain will take a while to clear the east coast, and then it will be replaced by and then it will be replaced by a mix of sunshine and some pretty heavy, possibly thundery showers through saturday and temperatures again a little bit below where they should be for this time of july. and that theme generally continues into sunday, though next week it does look like it might slowly start to warm up a little. see you later . later. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of
