8:06 pm
commentator chloe dobbs, broadcaster paula london, and broadcaster paula london, and broadcaster and author louis oakley. now look as i said, there's no politics. not until 9:55 pm. anyway. as soon as the polls close, we will be going to our watch party in essex . our watch party in essex. patrick christys and jubes are there with a massive audience of viewers and also all the coverage throughout the night, with top analysts, with camilla and stephen dixon. so hang around for that. until then though, just as a reminder, there is no politics. so if you're wondering why, and i know a few of you are asking on gbnews.com/yoursay, that's the reason . anyway, we've got a reason. anyway, we've got a cracking a few days of sport ahead of us, not least the big one this weekend where england take on switzerland in the quarter finals of euro 2024. i'm pleased to say we're joined by former england and liverpool goalkeeper chris kirkland. good evening chris, thank you so much for joining me. first of all, forjoining me. first of all, let's get the analysis of england out of the way. we've had a pretty scrappy couple of games thus far in the tournament. as a former pro, do you think we're going to change mentality this weekend? will gareth southgate, the manager ,
8:07 pm
gareth southgate, the manager, let the players free and cut the shackles loose? >> good evening. yeah i know it's been a been a big topic in it's been a been a big topic in it but listen we've not played well and we're still in the tournament. so that for me bodes well. you know if we can pick up the performances. but listen we're going to need to do that if we're going to go on and win it. we need to play a lot better. but they'll know that, but to still be in it at this stage, we knew we were going to get through the group or we should have got through the group. we did that. but now it's knockout football now, so we have to play better. the players will know that themselves, but we've got a hell of a chance. just like all the teams that are left in in the competition at the minute. but yeah, obviously saturday night is going to be different. let's talk about him changing formation personnel. i like the look of the formation that's been talked about today. sort of like the three, five two if you like it, or three, five one whatever they're going to play. so i'm hoping that is, is the team i'd like i quite like to see anthony gordon come into the team. i think he's i think you need that in knockout football. you need that one person who's going to run in
8:08 pm
behind. and he's done that for newcastle. he finished you know had a brilliant season for newcastle. i think that's something we've lacked in these first few games. there's been no runners for the big position. obviously left back is hampered as kieran trippier has done. admirable job there but not having a natural left sided left backis having a natural left sided left back is definitely, hopefully not going to cost us. but i think that's what has unsettled us in the first few games. but listen, all that's gone now , listen, all that's gone now, all, all we'll be focusing on is saturday and listen, i don't mind if we play absolutely rubbish again as long as we go through. i don't, i don't mind if we play rubbish every game and go on and win it, so yeah, you do get some football puritans. >> i'm an arsenal fan, so i'm used to the wenger years. i mean, you do get some puritans who, you know, i'd rather win in a beautiful way than just scrape one nil wins. but chris, you've spoken publicly before about your previous mental health problems, depression and so on. do you think there's any role that the media plays or the pubuc that the media plays or the public on this current squad of england players, when it comes to the pressure of trying to win a major international tournament?
8:09 pm
>> well , listen, we've seen it. >> well, listen, we've seen it. it's been every tournament. i think the pressure has built up the expectation. england, you know, this is the best chance of adding in how many years, which is possibly right. you know you look at the squad and it's i don't think there's many better squads in the euros in our squad, but that doesn't give you the right to go on and win it. you've got to earn that right. and listen, we're still in it at the minute, but listen, i just think social media is a poisonous place. you know, no matter listen, for me 95% of it is a is a is a poisonous place. you can use social media for the benefit of , you know, for to benefit of, you know, for to highlight certain things and to do good with it as well. but i just think the nature at the minute, the world we live in, people are always looking to criticise no matter what you do. you know, people are always looking to put you down. so the players, you know, they've got to block that out. i don't know how much i'm sure they're aware of it. they've all got phones and everything like that and they've got to use that as a, as a, as a spur one. they've got to want to make the country proud. they've got to want to make their family proud . you know their family proud. you know playing for england obviously a massive honour. it comes with big pressure. we know that i
8:10 pm
think obviously the media media is the media. and you know, it's great at times. but also it can have a bit of a negative effect. and people can jump on what the media sort of say, whether they agree with it or not, but like i said, that's just the world we live in. yeah, unfortunately, there's a lot of people ready to criticise no matter what. so listen, let's all get behind them. let's all sing on saturday. you know, people are going out there , they're going out there, they're spending their hard earned money to go and support the team . and to go and support the team. and the players will be very wary of that. but they've just got to block all that out and concentrate on the game. and if they do that with the players we've got and the ability we've got in that squad , i expect us got in that squad, i expect us to go through to the semi—final . to go through to the semi—final. >> yeah, chris, you're not wrong. social media is a cesspit at the best of times. but i was, for viewers who, you know, don't know your background, i'll remind them of a story. a very funny story where just remind us of it. your father, when you were 11. he put a bet on that you were going to make the england squad as a goalkeeper when you were just a kid. is that right? he got about 100 to
8:11 pm
1 odds. >> not. yeah, well, he used to play >> not. yeah, well, he used to play for england so when i was 13. so it was actually to play for england. yeah. it was after my first game in goal because i was an outfielder to start with. so it was after my first game in goal so it was after my first game in goal. and yeah, it was to play for england before i was 30. so, so thankfully that happened . so thankfully that happened. never knew about the betting day before he put it on when i was 13. and the old bet you never knew about it ? no, never knew knew about it? no, never knew about it. never told me. i only found out by the press. about it. never told me. i only found out by the press . off the found out by the press. off the press. the day before the game. they asked me about it and i said no. i did, so i've got no idea what you're talking about. so i rang my dad and he told me. but yeah, he kept it, kept the old betting slip in his pants drawer for 14 years, so yeah , drawer for 14 years, so yeah, came off. but yeah, there's been bets and like that. there's been loads of sports bets like that. so thankfully that one, that one come true. >> and i guess he never told you what, just because he didn't want to put the pressure on you, >> possibly. yeah. i mean , >> possibly. yeah. i mean, listen, you know, my mum and dad were great. all supportive. you know, my dad worked long shifts, long hours, like a lot of people's families do . and
8:12 pm
people's families do. and whenever he'd come home absolutely knackered, i said, come on, let's go down the park . come on, let's go down the park. let's play football. and it always take me. he'd never pressure me to do it or, you know, it was very, very supportive of me. so it was really nice. all the family were there for my england debut and, and yeah, it was, it was a wonderful night and something i'm very proud of. >> great stuff. chris kirkland thank you. you're a gent. appreciate your time and enjoy the rest of the tournament. fingers crossed for gareth and the team. thank you mate. guys. panel paula london chloe dobbs , panel paula london chloe dobbs, louis oakley thoughts on england this weekend. are you bothered? do you even like football? >> lewis i'm not the biggest football fan, but i want to us do well. it's a national pride thing isn't it? so you and you know i've got a 15 year old that absolutely loves football. and i want to see him happy because him unhappy is, not worth being in a for . him unhappy is, not worth being in a for. house >> i have to say, i do not watch football at all. i've tried to watch it a couple of times and it's so boring just watching a ball move up and down the field. and then occasionally, once every few hours, someone scores a goal, whereas tennis, someone you know, the score changes every few seconds. so it's actually exciting. so boring. i'm sorry. i don't understand why the english love football.
8:13 pm
>> you don't like tennis , paula? >> you don't like tennis, paula? >> you don't like tennis, paula? >> tennis would bore me to tears. i've never watched tennis, but football. >> i do watch. i don't have a team, but international games. like i was elated when two goals, two goals were scored, you know, the last minute or so. so yeah, i'll be watching the england game. >> yeah i love i love football, but i'm a tennis man and my kids play but i'm a tennis man and my kids play tennis. my boy plays tennis. i bang on about it all the time on the channel. you probably got any bets on your kids? >> can we bet on him? >> can we bet on him? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> but reading on that story about chris kirkland today, honestly, his dad's100 to 1, honestly, his dad's 100 to 1, they all put him and his other family members. i think they scooped about ten grand each. eventually when the money came in. so. >> so he's a dad. i should get in on this now while they're young. i think so, i think i, i definitely will because my boy , definitely will because my boy, i'll say it, i don't care. >> he's pretty good at tennis. he's only four, so i might be down the bookies. but talking of tennis, adding to the sporting extravaganza this weekend, there's the british grand prix at silverstone of course, but wimbledon is coming to the end of week one with plenty of british interest still involved too. so let's get the thoughts of former british number three barry cowan. barry good evening. can you hear me? there you are. yeah.
8:14 pm
>> good evening. you should definitely put a bet on your son. ben. >> hey, i'm not just saying i don't want to. i don't want to, you know, pat myself on the back, but he is pretty good. i think he's being watched by the lta . not sure where he gets it lta. not sure where he gets it from. not sure his mum, maybe me. but anyway, give us your wrap up on the first week of wimbledon. i think there's andy and jamie are playing as we speak. emma raducanu. and other british interests. she won yesterday, all today. and also katie boulter. she went down to a fellow brit. is that right? >> yeah. it's been really unfortunate because the two british number ones in katie and also jack draper, they lost today against fellow british players. so it was really unfortunate for, for jack draper to play cam and cam norrie probably played one of the best matches of the year . so that probably played one of the best matches of the year. so that was on court one. and then there was an epic with katie boulter lost to harriet dart. there's always been a little bit of niggle between those two, which often is the case for british class. so that was a big surprise . ben so that was a big surprise. ben the murray's at the moment they are set down in the doubles, but
8:15 pm
radacanu was very, very good yesterday. i really impressed and the fact that the draw her little section of the draw opened up alexandrova, who she was meant to play. she pulled out in the first round. emma raducanu play sakkari tomorrow and the history about sakkari is in really big matches. she can get tight so emma raducanu absolutely in her little section of the draw. if she plays like she did yesterday, she's got a great chance to go deep into the tournament, which would be great for all of us. >> yeah, barry, i'm not sure if i'm just a bit mean, but i mean, my opinion on this was pretty much the consensus amongst a lot of other tennis fans. but when emma raducanu won her us open grand slam some years ago now, i can't remember what year it was. but she then from my perspective, went off and did lots of hi murray brand deals. she went to vogue parties in new york, and i kind of feel like she took her eye off the ball a bit. i'm not sure if i'm just being a bit mean. saying that, but i'm so pleased now that she's she seems to have regained some form. what do you think happenedin
8:16 pm
some form. what do you think happened in that period when, you know, after the us open, when she , she kind of went off when she, she kind of went off the boil, she had some injuries. of course i have. i got a point in feeling that or was i just being a bit over the top. no. >> you're absolutely you've got a point. i mean how can it make sense that you win the us open and then the week later you fire your coach. and that coach helped radical. and obviously it's ultimately down to the player. but the coach was definitely a part of that andrew richardson and it's well documented. anyone that has followed raducanu in the last few years, she has changed a lot of coaches. of course, she had the injuries last year. i still feel that she's slightly underplayed this year. however, on the other side of it, raducanu and the father and the mother will say, listen, we've always swapped coaches. we've always swapped coaches. we've always had coach for about a month and then moved on because once we get that information, there's no doubting her talents. and but what has been the key this year is she has had the same coach, nick cavaday , from same coach, nick cavaday, from january the 1st, but i think your your comments are absolutely fair because what she has is an incredible mindset. we
8:17 pm
saw that in the us open. incredible poise. and if the draw does open up then then she is certainly in, in with a great chance. if she was to play one of the big hitters, i still feel that they would have absolutely too much for ray addison emma raducanu i.e. if she played a coco gauff who potentially she got to the semi—finals. but you can imagine if she did make the semi—finals, the hysteria around wimbledon , if she was to reach wimbledon, if she was to reach the last four, and that might help her. >> well, i'm sure emma couldn't give a fig what i think, so, yeah, fair play to her, but i'm pleased to see that she damn what any of us think. >> then. >> then. >> exactly. well, that's what we're paid for, i guess. barry thank you so much. appreciate you being with us. enjoy the rest of the tournament, guys. tennis. andy murray, he potentially, if he loses this game tonight, he's got the doubles with emma raducanu, i think at the weekend. but if he loses that, that's it for andy at wimbledon. do you think he's a. look, let me be frank. i'm going to lay my cards on the table for me. he's a hero. when he won wimbledon in 2013, i cried tears of happiness for
8:18 pm
him. did you? actually i did, i'm happy to admit that i think he's a sporting hero. the way he.the he's a sporting hero. the way he. the way he lost wimbledon in 2013. he went on to win the olympics, then two other wimbledon titles. i thought that showed guts. i thought it showed courage and in the face of a lot of stick from the media as well. i just think i really admire him. >> yeah, he's a super impressive man who's worked super hard and we hear time and time again people saying, oh, this is going to be andy murray's last match. then he's going to quit tennis. but i don't feel like that's the case with him. like he's had his prime, but he just loves the sport so much. so he loves to carry on and keep competing. you have other tennis players who like to leave on a high when they've won a championship, but he doesn't seem to care and he likes to keep going even though he's not winning everything. >> paula just briefly does it matter that he's, you know, he's a bit of a grump and a bit of a miserable so—and—so, >> well, i don't think it's gonna piss the other guy because i saw a clip of one guy getting really angry and he was smashing. yeah love smashing tennis rackets. very crazy. and he's knee was all swollen. >> he was robotic. god, that's crazy. >> that's the only thing that i've seen. i've never watched a he's a very good player tennis
8:19 pm
match. but i was like, god, that's kind of weird. so i might watch to see if he plays again and see if he does that. >> tennis, tennis all day. for me, football love it. but tennis. yeah. also, what else? what about this coming up later in the show, i'm not sure what i think about this, but lily allen, she's joined onlyfans to sell pictures of her feet. we'll be discussing the latest phenomenon with foot model nova jewels, and some people are calling for me to get my feet out on the show. i can tell you now it's not happening. all the messages are flooding in. it's not happening. but next, should us president joe biden stand aside in the race for the house over fears for health? you're watching patrick christys
8:20 pm
8:21 pm
8:22 pm
8:23 pm
hello. welcome back. ben. leo. with you on patrick christys tonight . only patrick christys tonight. only on gb news now, after a disastrous performance in last week's election debate with donald trump, even the lefty new york times opinion columnist are calling for joe york times opinion columnist are calling forjoe biden, york times opinion columnist are calling for joe biden, the president, to step aside in the race for the white house let's remind ourselves of just how bad it was eligible for what i've been able to do with the with the covid. >> excuse me , with, dealing with >> excuse me, with, dealing with everything we have to do with, look , if we finally beat medicare. >> thank you, president biden , >> thank you, president biden, on the total initiative relative to what we're going to do with more border patrol and more asylum officers. president trump, i really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. >> i don't think he knows what
8:24 pm
he said either. >> oh, dear. it's hard not to feel sorry for mr biden at this point. he's admitted that he did quote , screw up, but he's quote, screw up, but he's reportedly told democrat campaigners that he will not be leaving the election race and will carry on to fight. so donald trump, however, thinks otherwise . let's take a look at otherwise. let's take a look at this. >> how 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 . he's so be better. she's so bad. he's so pathetic. it's so amazing . it's pathetic. it's so amazing. it's just so. so we just can't imagine . but can just so. so we just can't imagine. but can you just so. so we just can't imagine . but can you imagine imagine. but can you imagine that guy with dealing with putin and the president of china who's and the president of china who's a fierce person? he's a fierce man, right? very tough guy. >> so to discuss this now, we're joined by media entrepreneur and podcast host skye ostriker and former chairman of the californian republican party, tom piccolo, who's also the author of the amazon best seller
8:25 pm
the divided era, which explains why the more government decides, the more it divides. that sounds a bit, a bit anarchy, tom. >> well, in america , governments >> well, in america, governments are part of every single moment of our lives. and we fight over it constantly. i hope you can avoid that over there after your next election. >> okay, look, give us your thoughts on joe biden. should he stay in the race? there's some rumours going around, some speculation online that actually it's his family, maybe jill biden, who's pushing him to stay in the race. >> well, i don't think there's any question of that , of that any question of that, of that she's having the time of her life, loves the power, and is probably the power behind the throne. but the democrats have put themselves in this box. they have wanted early voting in in the united states for many years, and as a result, the united states for many years, and as a result , the years, and as a result, the deadunes years, and as a result, the deadlines to put a candidate on the ballot are already passing in an important state. nevada june 28th was the deadline for naming your candidate, and that candidate was joe biden. so they
8:26 pm
have a huge problem with trying to change the laws of the many states. they would have to change just to get biden in. i mean, sorry, someone other than biden in this race. so i think he's going to wind up sticking there even though it's not good for the country or the planet. >> i mean, he doesn't seem to know what day of the week it is half the time, and i was speaking to someone else earlier. it wasn't just the debate last week where he, you know, he admits he's screwed up. he's admitted that himself. but going back years for example, he couldn't walk up the stairs to air force one on the jet. he fell over three times. he confused wars in iraq and ukraine. he said that his son, his late son beau, had been killed while serving for the us army in iraq. not true, of course. so if they can't replace him and he does win the election, where does that leave the united states ? the united states? >> well, where does it leave the country? because kamala harris would move up to be the president. i ran against her in 2016. i debated her, she was no better then than she is now. the
8:27 pm
world can't afford weakness in the face of the likes of putin. in the face of zhi from china. and of course, the threats from iran. she is not cut out for that job. she was she got the vp job for a very specific purpose. we all know what that was, but that doesn't make her presidential material. and so the united states is in a difficult spot right now, which again, places the world in a difficult spot. >> what about someone like the governor of california, gavin newsom? and i was there in san francisco last year. i was on a jolly with my friends. i've never seen a city so filthy and disgusting and actually so depressing and sad . seeing depressing and sad. seeing fellow human beings living in that state. it was, it was pretty horrific. but, i mean, someone like gavin newsom is even being tipped as a leading candidate to replace biden. >> yeah, the problem with that, of course, would be that the democratic party would have to
8:28 pm
skip over a woman of colour and put someone else in which would divide them and put them in, even worse civil war than they are now. and california, where i'm from, is a failed state in many respects. highest crime, highest poverty, highest homelessness. some of the worst insurance rates in the country . insurance rates in the country. my insurance rates in the country. my home insurance is going to wind up being cancelled . and all wind up being cancelled. and all of the problems that california has deficits, highest taxes. gavin newsom doesn't know how to run a state, putting him in the white house isn't much better. and he's divisive across the country as well. so the democrats are in a rock and a hard place. this is trump's race to lose. >> skye. the dems are in a rock and a hard place. what do you make of that? >> yeah, that's totally true. listen, i'm a registered democrat . i've always been democrat. i've always been a moderate. i don't see biden stepping aside. i don't see how the democrats could replace him without causing a bigger issue for the party. like tom mentioned, heading into november, because if they were to replace him, it should be
8:29 pm
with kamala. and she's not a wildly popular candidate. i run an instagram channel here in the states called the political personality, where i speak with pubuc personality, where i speak with public officials about who they are as people in to order humanise them and better connect them with voters and what i found is that people are much more driven by feelings than by facts. and the truth is , after facts. and the truth is, after thursday's debate performance, the feeling about biden has completely changed. democrats no longer feel confident about his ability to run the country for four more years. after seeing what they saw on thursday , and what they saw on thursday, and that has nothing to do with his policy record . so will he be the policy record. so will he be the nominee? i think it puts the democratic party in a lose lose situation . situation. >> and sky, what's your i mean, regardless of joe biden's health and whether he can make it to the end, what's your thoughts on donald trump? because his supporters would say, look, he was the no war president. the stock market was booming and setting record highs during his tenure. everyone had jobs. i think the middle class has felt more well off than ever before. he was a good president, was he
8:30 pm
not? despite all the conjecture about his behaviour outside the white house >> i know, and it's the conjecture that you referenced thatis conjecture that you referenced that is keeping this country going. the left watches cnn and msnbc and the right watches fox news. well, a lot of democrats that i know now have said to me that i know now have said to me that they're going to be tuning into fox news between now and november so that they can help brainwash themselves so that they don't feel so depressed by trump winning in november. >> so are you getting the same messages from sorry, tom, are you getting the same messages from from your neck of the woods? >> well, it's such an interesting comment because the divided era we live in certainly appues divided era we live in certainly applies to the media, and the two sides don't meet very often . two sides don't meet very often. i live in deep blue territory in around san francisco, california, and they don't. we live in two different universes. i'm one of the few people who believes and live in a government in the area in which i live , and she's exactly right .
8:31 pm
i live, and she's exactly right. look, plato, a millennials ago said millennia ago, said that democracy would fail because they would vote for the better looking or likeable candidate, not for policy. so yes, trump did have some good policies, but if he wants to bring this country together, he should askew saying things like he did from that golf cart, which you pointed out, and start talking about where the concrete can be in an aspirational manner and forget talking about jill biden. let joe biden deal with joe biden. he needs to show americans and the world that he can unite. >> i guess in trump's defence, he was he was being secretly filmed and he wasn't talking in a you know, an official public capacity. but, tom, very quickly, one word answer who's going to win in november? trump or biden ? trump and sky. or biden? trump and sky. >> trump, definitely. and to tom's point, that's what millennials like myself are looking for. we want transparency. we want to see these public figures in action
8:32 pm
in real life circumstances. >> okay. thank you both very much for what's the time in the us? are you both on different sides of the country ? sides of the country? >> it's 330 eastern in new york and 1230 in california, and a heat wave. >> by the way, i am one thing i can relate with trump, but i when i play golf , can relate with trump, but i when i play golf, i can relate with trump, but i when i play golf , i often have when i play golf, i often have to pay people for my losses. so there you go. >> good stuff. and also, thank you for joining >> good stuff. and also, thank you forjoining me on independence day as well in america. i hope you're celebrating and enjoying yourselves. that's, 2016 republican candidate tom del beccaro and, the entrepreneur and podcast host sky ostreicher is certainly going to be a turbulent couple of months until november. i'm looking forward to it . right. november. i'm looking forward to it. right. coming up on the show, top royal author angela levin joins me live to discuss if prince harry is being genuine about having closer relationships with king charles. plus, what's happened to missing tenerife british teenager jay slater? well, lots of new information has come out in the
8:33 pm
last 24 hours and it all looks a bit strange, if not interesting. this is patrick christys tonight with
8:34 pm
8:35 pm
8:36 pm
hello. welcome back. this is patrick christys. tonight with me . ben. leo. now, time for some me. ben. leo. now, time for some royal news. prince harry could be facing an awkward moment after calling . sorry. after after calling. sorry. after a petition calling for him to be stripped of a veteran sports award reached 60,000 signatures. so the prince is set to receive
8:37 pm
the pat tillman award for service from us sports broadcaster espn. that's due to his work with the invictus games foundation. his charity, of course, but listen to this the channel has been forced to defend its decision amid a pubuc defend its decision amid a public backlash. so here to discuss this with me now is harry's biographer, angela levin. hello, good evening. hello, angela. thank you for joining me on this momentous night. so, look, let's first a few things to cover off. first off, this award, his mother, the mother of the soldier who? this award was named after mary . so, award was named after mary. so, long story short, this guy was an nfl footballer. he was on $3 million a year. he quit professional sports to go and serve in the us army. he fought in iraq. >> after 9/11. he decided to do that and he died. >> and there was this really prestigious award named after him, which prince harry has now won. so what's the problem? why are they all kicking off? >> well, the problem is that his mother doesn't think that prince harry has the same morals as her son did, and she thinks it would be a very bad thing if he took it. she also thinks that he doesn't need it because he's got
8:38 pm
lots of things, a prince and all that, whereas people who do a lot of work for ex—military people are need things much more because they devote themselves to looking after people and they don't get much, back really . and don't get much, back really. and she just feels that she absolutely doesn't want harry. she's been saying some really quite nasty things that her son was moral and all that . but, was moral and all that. but, harry, you know, he's been very rude to his family, and she just doesn't like that. and she doesn't like that. and she doesn't want her son associated with that. >> so it's harry's behaviour , >> so it's harry's behaviour, particularly to his own family, that has upset mary, the mother of this late soldier. >> yes. and she thinks that he has no morals. you see. and she's fighting it very, very hard. it's now 60,000 people are agreeing with her. and i think that's partly because he's not popular anymore. so the united states, you say that. >> but i was looking earlier and the us publication newsweek a, you know , sort of meghan and
8:39 pm
you know, sort of meghan and harry's mouthpiece, i guess they had some polling a few weeks back saying that meghan at least was now on par with king charles in the popularity stakes. is that a load of what is that a load of sort of meghan and harry guff? >> i think it is guff, isn't it? i mean, you can see that because they see inside them now what they're doing, which is very unkind and all about them. i mean, like you can say that, meghan always got to be in the spotlight when the other royal family are doing it very carefully. you know, she always finds something to sell, even if it's one raspberry jam , bottle. it's one raspberry jam, bottle. and she does do those things when they're inappropriate and she can't help it. she has to be in the forefront and she has to win. so it makes it very difficult. >> so in terms of the award, i suppose the best way harry could prove his moral credentials is by saying, okay, look, there's a lot of furore about me accepting
8:40 pm
this award, i'm going to respect the mother of this late soldier. and you know what? give it to someone else. can we expect him to do that, do you reckon? >> well, do you think they don't even mind if she doesn't even mind if he gives it to the invictus games itself. but he shouldn't have it. it should go to the games. >> do you think he'll do that, though? >> i don't think so . though? >> i don't think so. i think they like having these games. i mean, there's the other, the award, another two that, was getting a legend. he was a legend for aviation when he was in afghanistan, but he never was one pilot. he was an assistant pilot, so he didn't do the whole lot. so people didn't like that. but that took no notice of that. and the daughter of robert kennedy, kerry, who awarded him for being brave enough to attack the royal family for their racism . but we have discovered racism. but we have discovered later that there was no racism in the royal family, and none of these things have gone back . so
8:41 pm
these things have gone back. so i don't think he will actually give back this latest. >> well, i mean, look back to the oprah winfrey interview . the oprah winfrey interview. there was a litany of lies, proven lies, you know, and they didn't even name the so—called royal racist. just leaving a question mark in the air. a complete bombshell on the royal family. and actually, i think the late queen was still alive at the time. so, you know, how would that leave her and philip? i mean, the duke of edinburgh was very ill in hospital at that time. >> the queen had asked them if they could postpone it and not do it while he was dying. really? >> so maybe, maybe the mother of this late soldier has a point. she's seen clearly what the world has seen and the way he's treated his family. but look, there's rumours going around today or in recent days anyway, that king charles may be extending an olive branch to harry and meghan with the potential invite to balmoral. is there anything in that ? there anything in that? >> well, he does that every year because he would like to see the family and they wants them to bnng family and they wants them to bring the children. he has said that he wants to see them, but i don't think he wants to see them without the children. he hasn't seen them four and two. more
8:42 pm
than once when they were absolutely tiny . and that's put, absolutely tiny. and that's put, you know, that's what he wants to do. but i don't think meghan will go there. i think she would hate it. she doesn't want to be told what to do. and when to go for a walk and went to eat and how often to change. i mean, she's not one of those girls. and each year they've refused to accept the invitation. so we'll just wait and see. >> do you think that was meghan's problem? really? whilst she was in the uk and an active member of the royal family, she just kind of didn't get it, didn't want to be ordered around. >> i think she's got it now and i think she regrets a bit of it, but she's trying to do it herself. she's trying to do an alternative royal family in a in america, but i think she just couldn't understand it . she felt couldn't understand it. she felt that she should be discussing with the queen all the way to make the, things that they do more modern. and of course, you can't do that with the queen straight away. she was very cross. she wasn't with her to tell her, give her good ideas. but you don't do that. if you go
8:43 pm
to a new company and a new country, you're very quiet and you grow up the scale slowly. and that didn't. she couldn't do that. >> and i guess i guess there's a way of doing those kind of things. just be a bit shrewd about it, give it a bit of time, settle yourself in and so on. but regardless of everything that's happened with harry and meghan, i just find it so sad. and it's desperate that the king hasn't really got to know his grandchildren, it's very, very sad. >> it's actually desperate that the grandchildren have got not to know their, father. great father. >> and that's what makes me laugh. harry. meghan preach about unity and compassion. but yet meghan can't bring herself to forgive her father for some, you know, mistakes he's made. but angela levin, prince harry's biographer, top royal author, thank you very much for being with us. appreciate it. all right. coming up, lily allen . right. coming up, lily allen. she's selling feet pictures on onlyfans . and one of my panel onlyfans. and one of my panel tonight is offered to show theirs off too. and it's not me. so stop asking, can you guess who is? i'm ben leo, and this
8:44 pm
is patrick

8:47 pm
gb news. hello. welcome back. patrick christys. tonight with me . ben. christys. tonight with me. ben. leo. only on gb news. of course. now let's head to tenerife, where a private investigator claims missing british teenager jay slater could still be alive if he's drinking rainwater and eating plants . so jay, if he's drinking rainwater and eating plants. so jay, as a reminder, was last seen on the canary island of tenerife on june the 17th at around 8 am. there are also reports that jay was caught up in the theft of a £12,000 rolex watch and tried to sell it hours before his disappearance. >> jay posted this snapchat saying that he'd taken a £12,000 rolex from a person. we have been unable to validate this in terms of reported theft. however, friends of jay said he would not make this up and the watch was subject of later conversation between the friends , conversation between the friends, >> interesting to say the least. so jay had been at a rave in playa de las americas before
8:48 pm
travelling back to an airbnb room in the north of the island with two other british men. so what has happened to jay slater? let's cross to tenerife and speak to reporter nick pisa, who is a senior global reporter for mailonline and he's been following every nook and cranny. good evening nick, thanks for joining me. so let's bring us up to date today with this latest news about this rolex. what do we know about this watch? did he steal a watch? did he admit it? what's happening . what's happening. >> well, this has been rolling around on various forums, facebook pages , etc. for a good facebook pages, etc. for a good week. ten days now. it is something that i'd heard of as well when i first arrived here last week and at the moment we don't have any verified , don't have any verified, confirmation of this theft at all. all we know, all that we've heard is that there was allegedly some sort of fight outside papagayo nightclub on pallidus americas, and that this watch was stolen off. quotes. an east european man, somehow. then there are reports that it ended up with jay, and he then ended
8:49 pm
up with jay, and he then ended up in a car with two british men who then drove him up, to the village of masca, which is about an hour away from playa de americas, where this, where this end of rave party was taking place. again, that just throws up just so many questions, ben, because the airbnb that these two guys rented is in such a remote place. it's a good hour away along a roller coaster road, goes up and down hairpin bends, sheer drops either side. you know, you don't really want to do that during the day unless you have to, let alone at night. and for some reason that he went to these, to this guy's house or that this airbnb , as in masca. that this airbnb, as in masca. and from there, he sent two snapchat images to his friends saying that he was there and he'd spent a couple of hours there, and then he wanted to go home, but there was no no bus available. he missed the bus and there wasn't a bus until 10:00. but the whole thing looks very funny. it just seems very odd. i
8:50 pm
mean, why on earth go back to masca, which is about an hour from where he's, where he's got a room at a hotel ten minutes away from playa de americas. is it connected to the watch? we don't know, because the police are refusing to reveal any details. they're just, they're just giving us the trotting out the same old statement day in, day out. and the investigation is still open and all avenues are being investigated. >> yeah. i mean, this is a tragic story, of course, for any parent to have their child missing on their first lads houday missing on their first lads holiday abroad is horrific. but as you said, as the days go on, it just gets more and more extraordinary. snippets of information coming out online, which are then perhaps later verified by the police and the authorities. and one thing that's come out tonight, nick, i'm not sure if you've seen this, but a volunteer search party has tonight pulled out of the hunt for jay slater because they insist they've not seen a penny of the sum. £35,000 raised online, which was initially, raised to try and help find him. >> yeah, this is turning into a bit of she says he said they
8:51 pm
said we said yes. i mean , this said we said yes. i mean, this is a guy called calum, who says he came out here two weeks ago to take part in the search, i should say i've not actually seen any images of him searching , seen any images of him searching, for someone who is quite prevalent on social media. i'm rather surprised that he hasn't posted anything at all of him being up there searching. he did do a tiktok live a few hours ago, waving a load of bus tickets, saying, look at all these bus tickets i've had to pay these bus tickets i've had to pay for myself. i've not seen anything from , from debbie anything from, from debbie duncan. that's jay's mother. and the gofundme page. this this all followed from a statement that debbie had put on the gofundme page yesterday, in which she thanked calum for his help. and she also thanked another tiktok guy called paul arnott, who's also a more of a, shall we say, more of a professional mountaineer. ben someone who has experience of climbing mountains and has been up there. i personally seen this guy
8:52 pm
virtually every day up at masca . virtually every day up at masca. so anyway, as i say, yeah, this row has erupted between calum and, debbie and her group, her supporters, her friends, and they have actually in the last few minutes been issued a statement saying that calum is mistaken and they have posted a screenshot showing £740 going into callum's bank account. so the plot this goodness, goodness me. >> i mean , it's a terrible >> i mean, it's a terrible story, but it's just we should add ben. sorry. >> just yeah. just to say they are insisting as well that that £740 that they gave calum didn't come out of the go fund me page. it came out of debbie's own personal bank account . personal bank account. >> i mean, i really hope this lad is found, but it's becoming more bizarre by the day, nick, when was the last time you spoke to debbie, jay's mother. so i know you were in touch with her in previous days, >> i last spoke to her yesterday, via message and on
8:53 pm
the phone very briefly. she. she obviously is still, very, very upset, very distraught . she just upset, very distraught. she just wants to know what's happened to jay . nothing wants to know what's happened to jay. nothing is wants to know what's happened to jay . nothing is clear. there's jay. nothing is clear. there's conflicting reports from even the friends that were here with him . nothing is adding up. him. nothing is adding up. nothing is making sense. at the end of the day, we have a poor mother and father who have come out here to look for their son. and they just want answers. >> nick, just tell us. on a personal note, you're one of the airline's top global reporters. you travel the world chasing stories. i know you worked quite closely on the madeleine mccann story as well. what's it like working on a story of this magnitude where the media attention just builds and builds? and also, as i said from a personal note, you're away from your family and your kids for such a long time. >> yeah, well, this is i think it's now official. i've been the longest reporter that's been here since this all started. we got here on the wednesday , which got here on the wednesday, which is two days after jay disappeared and. yeah, still out
8:54 pm
here. missed various, milestones. shall we say birthdays, etc. but anyway, we're here. it's. i suppose it's all part of the job when you sign up for it to be a reporter, isn't it? you have to go where the story is. but i mean, this is one of the most bizarre stories i've ever covered because of just various themes and threads that come out. and i think obviously now with the internet and tiktok sleuthing and conspiracy theories, it's a very different game to when i first started many, many years ago in this job. >> yeah, i guess i guess back in the day when you did start, i mean, i'm, i'm going to say decades. i don't know if that's insulting. sunak, but, but i suppose you didn't have the likes of tiktok and, you know, snapchat and all these different social media avenues for people to really speculate, spread rumours and so on. rumours and $0 on. >> rumours and so on. >> yeah. well, see, the thing is, it's been it's a double edged sword, really, isn't it, because we've been trawling through this some of this stuff and have found some useful information. you know, we found some pictures, which we've been
8:55 pm
able to publish and which has helped us build up more of a timeline and a better timeline and to, witnesses have come forward because they've recognised him. but also then at the same time , you've just seen the same time, you've just seen some utter, utter nonsense. >> nick, i'm going to. some utter, utter nonsense. >> nick, i'm going to . we're >> nick, i'm going to. we're fast running out of time. but thank you, nick. he's a senior global reporter at the mail online. we'll speak to you next week. i'm sure . lots more to week. i'm sure. lots more to come in the next hour. first of all, here's your weather. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, 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 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
8:56 pm
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 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 dner 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 . little bit higher through friday here than today. now little bit higher through friday here than today . now further here than today. now further south, this band of rain will wiggle and wave through the day. so. but it will linger for much of the day across the far south coast, though, could turn a bit dner coast, though, could turn a bit drier for parts of the midlands,
8:57 pm
nonh 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, it's staying fairly unsettled. that rain will take a while to clear the east coast, 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. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news

9:02 pm
a statement, rather, holly willoughby said women should not be made to feel unsafe going about their lives or in their own homes. it's emerged during the trial that gavin plumb had preyed on women before, and has convictions for attempted kidnap and false imprisonment. a jury today returned and dismissed 37 year old's defence that his plans were merely a fantasy. dci greg wood, from essex police, said plumb is in fact a dangerous , predatory individual . dangerous, predatory individual. >> his claims in court that he was a fantasist are simply not true and were evidenced by the extent with which he plotted with others to carry out his wicked plan. gavin plumb 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 . as he planned. >> in other news today, a former school teacher who had sex with two boys has been jailed for six
9:03 pm
and a half years. rebecca joynes groom, the teenagers from the age of 15 and even became pregnant by one of them. one of the boys said she was coerced. he was coerced and manipulated by the 30 year old teacher. the parents of both her victims watched as she broke down in tears. today, while her sentence was read out at manchester crown court. now scientists are warning that people using the popular weight loss jabs like a pig popular weight loss jabs like a pig could be at higher risk of losing their sight, new research suggests. patients on the medication, called semaglutide, may be more susceptible to a condition that causes blindness. those affected can suffer sudden loss of vision in one eye, but without any pain, which is often discovered when waking up . just discovered when waking up. just rounding up for you what's happening in at wimbledon today has been disappointment on centre court for andy murray, who's crashed out of the men's doubles in the first round at wimbledon. the former world number one was partnered

9:05 pm
them to shed a few pounds for their summer holidays. but is their summer holidays. but is the latest get slim quick fad actually a serious health risk concerning reports over the last 24 hours have linked certain weight loss jabs, such as ozempic, to an eye condition that can cause blindness. so is there anything to be worried about? what's the risk reward? i'm joined now by gp and author doctor ellie cannon. good evening doctor ellie. these jabs are all the rage. i know scores of people who have used them and actually they do a pretty good job. i've seen , you know, some job. i've seen, you know, some fairly larger people shed a couple of pounds. what's the risk reward though, because we're seeing concerning reports today that some can cause blindness . blindness. >> yes. that's right. and i think this highlights what people need to realise which is there's never a miracle cure and no drugs come without side effects. this drug should not be being used as a skinny jab. i don't think it's a good idea to be calling it a skinny jab. it's not the same as going on a diet
9:06 pm
for the summer. these are drugs that are meant for people with type 2 diabetes, or meant for people with obesity, where their doctor has prescribed the medication for that as a health problem. so the danger here is really how much of a fad , really how much of a fad, semaglutide has become. and people taking it who really shouldn't be. >> so semaglutide is the medical name for ozempic, which is the brand name, right? yeah, yeah . brand name, right? yeah, yeah. >> that's right. yeah. so semaglutide, it's the diabetic drug. so it can be a zembic or wegovy, and it's this particular type, what we call a glp one agonist of diabetic medications. >> would you recommend ozempic at all for losing weight ? at all for losing weight? >> yeah, absolutely. but in the same way that i recommend high blood pressure medication or medication for somebody's chest infection, i would recommend it under the supervision of a
9:07 pm
doctor with a full appreciation of the side effects, the regulation, the laws which govern it, which we call the licensing , according to the licensing, according to the national formulary in the uk, you don't want to be giving any medication to somebody who doesn't need it. you certainly don't want to be buying something like a zembic online, where you just have to tick a few boxes and the doctor has never actually seen you face to face. that's incredibly dangerous for so many reasons. and i think what's important about this study, about the blindness is it just highlights to us, that no drugs come without side effects. >> am i being, slightly harsh by just thinking that more people need to just watch their diet, eat a bit less, do some more exercise? why do we always have to turn to drugs and pharmaceuticals ? pharmaceuticals? >> yeah. so you're basically sort of adopting this slim person smugness, which we see a lot with the discussion around, around weight loss and obesity.
9:08 pm
we live in what's called an obesogenic environment. the food environment in the uk is absolutely terrible, where you're encouraged to eat food from morning till night, most of which is really bad for you . which is really bad for you. we've been encouraged for the last 2 or 3 decades, not really to move at all. if you just think about how you buy a takeaway compared to how i bought a takeaway when i was a kid, and you'd walk down to the shop , now people even just order shop, now people even just order their takeaway on their phone . their takeaway on their phone. so the whole environment is obesogenic, which is why we've got almost half the population, in this situation. so we can't sort of blame each of those individuals being thin, joining a gym , exercising has become a gym, exercising has become aspirational in the uk. we've got a real issue and i do agree with you actually , it seems with you actually, it seems quite backward to actually treat this with a pharmaceutical. i would much rather that we treated the issue with looking at the food environment and the
9:09 pm
exercise environment, but unfortunately we've moved too far and we've got this huge health risk epidemic, running towards us, which is going to cripple all of us. and the nhs. >> yeah, i guess you're right. i think in cases where there is extreme obesity, it's an immediate health risk. so if you're, you know, sorting the weight loss pretty much instantly over the course of a couple of weeks or months, i guess that's a good thing. and you could perhaps worry about the symptoms or the side effects later on. but doctor eddie cannon, thank you for joining us. this evening. appreciate it very much. to my panel now, paula london, chloe dobbs, louis oakley, right. first questions first, who has been taking ozempic on this panel? would you like to admit it? me. paula, hands up . yes. why did you take it? >> because i put on a bit of weight. to be honest with you, my weight has gone up and down by about two stone about five times the last ten years. i used to go to the gym a lot . i used to go to the gym a lot. i used to go to the gym a lot. i used to go to the gym a lot. i used to go horse riding. then i got a little lazy and then i got obsessed with the news. so i was watching the news for hours , and watching the news for hours, and then i got on the scales and i
9:10 pm
didn't like what i saw. >> so i thought, couldn't you have just gone back to the gym, paula? >> i could have done stop eating. >> i was reading about ozempic and i thought, let me try it. and i'm so glad i did because i've lost £18 in three months. wow. and i feel so much better. i can wear smaller clothes and what a lot of people are. not that don't know about it is that it stops you craving alcohol. i used to drink a couple of glasses of wine every evening, and then you can easily put on a pound a week by doing that. if you have two glasses of wine in an evening, that's 3500 calories over a week . this job stops you over a week. this job stops you wanting alcohol and it's crazy. >> how do you still have to keep taking the jab? now you've lost weight? i mean, do you just want to lose five more pounds? >> but now, like i used to buy a bottle of wine and drink at home, now i have probably one glass of wine twice a week and i feel happier because obviously alcohol is a depressant. i sit at home watching tv and order hanbo at home watching tv and order haribo from deliveroo or uber eats or one of those food delivery companies. now i actually forget to eat and i've never forgotten to eat . i love never forgotten to eat. i love it, i think it's brilliant.
9:11 pm
>> chloe isn't the problem that as soon as you stop taking this drug, you're just going to go back to your old ways, surely? >> i mean, i presume i mean, paula, you'll be the expert. do you have to keep taking it afterwards? >> not really. i took it. i mean, i'll be honest. >> i would imagine people will. yo, yo. well last year comes back. yeah. >> i took it forjust one month, >> i took it for just one month, and i lost £8. then it took a whole year to put on £8. >> have you had any side effects? >> so you have gone up and down. >> so you have gone up and down. >> take it. but i always go back and down. but for a whole year, to put on £8 and i would need some what i like the whole year. i just think it's great. >> i like it should only be used in desperate situations. like, as you said, when being so overweight is a, you know, urgent health risk to you. >> but i'm saving money as well. >> but i'm saving money as well. >> we live a life now full of ultra processed food and barely anyone exercising. let's eat properly and exercise more. and if that doesn't work, and genuinely, i love eating. >> i don't even feel like i want to eat now. so it's diet without have a little bit of help from this drug, but we all, i'm sure the viewers agree as well. >> we all love eating . lewis, >> we all love eating. lewis, i'm sure you like a lot people don't. >> some people forget to eat without ozempic. >> here's my thing with this are
9:12 pm
we not going to be in a situation a few years where we've got all the gyms closing because no one's going? why isn't there something about kind of arm salute? >> i didn't need to go. >> i didn't need to go. >> as long as you're the instagram girlies want to go in there and see pictures of their bums. >> the instagram girls will keep the gyms going, but i think there is a wider point around, you know, going to the gym, actually leaving the house, being disciplined as well. >> i know that's a huge impact on your mental health. >> it's about mental health as well. and i think the two, the two are tied right. like if you go to the gym, you're working out, you're with other people. you're saying he's a he's a bit more ripped than me. i'm going to do a few more, like be more of a good body if you've worked for it. >> and also doctor, doctor eddie there said that my comment about eating less and moving more was the smugness of a thin person, but i didn't say to her, but i mean, i had to put in the graft. if i sat there . i love food, if i sat there. i love food, i love cakes and croissants in the morning and you probably have better metabolism than me. >> and the thing is, i was spending a fortune on food. i didn't realise because i was ordering deliveries every single day and now i have more money. even though this injection costs £5 a day and it also stops me smoking. you stop craving
9:13 pm
cigarettes? i used to smoke over ten a day. >> look at what you've done to the economy. you're not going to the economy. you're not going to the gym. you're not eating, you're not drinking, you're not smoking. smoking is going to be in trouble. i'll have a packet of 20 cigarettes to last the whole week. >> i was making 20 a day. sometimes scientists don't realise why people are not wanting nicotine or even drugs. hard drugs. people are saying that they used to take hard drugs and now they're on ozempic and they're not craving it. the same with alcohol. so i do think it's a wonder drug for me. it's great. i want to lose five more pounds and i'm coming off of it. but i do worry if someone was underweight and they got it by lie—in or got someone else to get it for them, it could be dangerous. but for me, i love it. >> there's a comment here from. is it how you pronounce it? good evening to you. you say, why is it that the nhs have numerous dieticians yet? there is no part of the nhs website that has any ideas for healthy, healthy meals. you have to pay a fortune for some weird club. i mean, you go into my local hospital, i won't say where it is because we'll have to get a reply from them. but you go into the hospital, there's vending machines of chocolates , crisps,
9:14 pm
machines of chocolates, crisps, fizzy drinks, i mean, and also the food they sell in hospitals. when you're in there getting treatment, it's just. i mean , i treatment, it's just. i mean, i think it's absurd. >> well, the thing is, doctors in all the years and years of training that they do, they do the tiniest little bit like a few days or a couple of weeks on nutrition. they just learn about drugs. are you sticking a plaster on a problem rather than looking at the cause of a problem? we know that most of our top killers are heavily unked our top killers are heavily linked to what you eat. our top killers are heavily linked to what you eat . yet linked to what you eat. yet doctors, they just talk about drugs. they're not taught about food . food. >> louis, last word to you. >> louis, last word to you. >> we've spent a lot of time in hospital. one of our kids, and it is beggars belief. the vending machines or even just the shops that they have, it's all ready meals and things like that. and even if you're in there, the stuff that's being given to patients, it's disgusting. that is something that needs to be looked at properly all night. >> once ate i three packets of cnsps >> once ate i three packets of crisps from the well. >> on that note, we have to go to a break in a second. i'm going to go and get a mars bar in the break and a couple of packets of crisps as well, but look, coming up, lily allen is selling photos of her feet. her stinky feet, probably on onlyfans. it's a booming business right now. that's according to sources we'll be
9:15 pm
speaking to one model who sells pictures of her own feet for hundreds of pounds at a time. i think i'm missing out. hundreds of pounds at a time. i think i'm missing out . our next think i'm missing out. our next cineworld is closing a quarter of its 100 sites across the uk. are we witnessing the death of the cinema? well, maybe they shouldn't charge £15, £10 a pop for popcorn. stay tuned. that's next. this patrick christys tonight with
9:16 pm
9:17 pm
9:18 pm
9:19 pm
hello. welcome back. ben. leo. with you on patrick christys tonight. only on gb news now. cineworld, one of the uk's largest cinema chains, is considering plans to close a quarter of its 100 uk sites . the quarter of its 100 uk sites. the company is still in debt and plans to renegotiate rent agreements at 50 more of its 100 or so uk venues. agreements at 50 more of its 100 or so uk venues . so panel are we or so uk venues. so panel are we seeing the death of cinema ? and seeing the death of cinema? and if we are, is it because it's such a rip off? >> yeah. as someone with kids is a rip off. i mean, if you want to take 3 or 4 people to the cinemas, you're looking at £100, you've got to feed them as well. so it's one of those things. but i also think it's streaming as well. it's the fact that, oh, shall i go and see this? it'll probably be, you know, on one of the streaming services in a couple of weeks or a month. i'll just wait for it. we've definitely done that. >> but it is nice. chloe going to the cinema, seeing a film in its full glory with all the sound and the pictures. my only gripe is that you go there and you know you get a drink, which costs about £7, you get some popcorn with a mark off of about
9:20 pm
1,000,000. you know, you just feel you're getting screwed at every turn. >> i mean, i always sneak stuff in the bottom of my bag underneath jumpers so they don't get. i think you're allowed to do that, aren't you? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> no, not of them. were actually check your bags. i just hope they just open the top of the bag. but, i mean, you're right, it is. it is different to sitting in front of netflix at home. it is a nice experience. and hence, you know, a lot of us probably feel quite upset that the idea of cinema dying out. but you can understand with streaming, it's so easy when you feel like watching a movie, you just open your screen and it's there. which means that inevitably fewer people are going to go to the cinema. and i mean, what is the solution? spend a load of taxpayers money on subsidising cinemas to keep them open. i don't want that. so i think it will in it's inevitable that cinemas will start to die out. >> no, but the it's about they need to embrace the future and more technology. so if you go to the cinema and suddenly, you know, they've got the smells and the sounds and everything and it feels like you're more there, that will be the way it will evolve. they'll have to evolve. you know, they've got ones where they yeah, they've got to be 4d, splash some water on people that
9:21 pm
that will be if they're going to survive, that'll be what they'll do. they'll have to embrace some new technology you can't replicate at home. paula, what do you reckon? >> are you a cinema aficionado? >> are you a cinema aficionado? >> i go to the cinema every week or every other week and view cinema, actually in leicester square . they now charge £10 square. they now charge £10 a ticket. they've reduced their tickets and that's seven days a week. so i think that's pretty reasonable. but i've always wondered how they're staying open because i like to go to cinema on my own. i can just switch off and a lot of movies are actually made for the cinema. >> it's much better you go by yourself to the cinema all the time. >> i wouldn't go on my own in the evening if there's like all couples, like making out or something. but in the day i'm often on my own. so it's like i've got my own cinema. i've literally the most people i've seen in the cinema in the afternoon when i go, is ten. normally there's1 afternoon when i go, is ten. normally there's 1 or 2 people, ten. >> yeah, but they're not at work . >> yeah, but they're not at work. lazy so—and—so's. why aren't you at work? no, i know, well, you know, i'm a freelance worker. >> so for me, it's like i've got my own cinema at home, you know, i've got a small flat. if i had a palatial home with a great tv, it might be great to watch a movie. but i've got rather small tv compared to some people . and
9:22 pm
tv compared to some people. and going to the cinema, it's the experience. i love movies, i want to keep them alive. if we don't go to watch them, we could lose the cinemas and that would be terrible. >> there is another argument here, though, isn't there? is that no one wants to watch the films they're making. hollywood is out of ideas. that's why everything is a reboot of something that was rebooted in the 80s, and the stories aren't compelling. everything. i'm not going to say it's all gone, woke, go broke . great movies out there. >> it's all gone, woke. it's all indoctrination , especially from indoctrination, especially from disney. i mean, i've got two young kids. i will not let them see if they want to go and see a disney film with their mum and they want to. fine. but i'm not going to take them. oh yeah. yeah. no way, no way off the way disney has behaved in recent years. let's move on to the second story. so an easyjet flight to tenerife again back in the news, had to turn around back to gatwick airport after its hydraulic system broke in mid—air. goodness me. its hydraulic system broke in mid—air. goodness me . so every mid—air. goodness me. so every other day. right. it feels like a plane somewhere. is malfunctioning. what's going on, lewis? >> i don't know, but it is worrying. so we've never actually taken my youngest kids abroad, and we're going to take them for the first time this
9:23 pm
yeah them for the first time this year. and stuff like this really freaks me out because i'm like, if something happens to a plane and i'm on it and it's fine, but if you've got your kids on it and there's panics and all those kind of things. so as a parent, it does kind of put you off and you just kind of think that the money you're charging, surely you can get one aeroplane to another airport. some you know, safely. >> i think that's really irrational, though , because irrational, though, because you're more likely to die in the car on the way to the airport than you are on the plane. right? we rarely hear about plane crashes and planes going wrong. people die in car crashes every single day. >> now i know that. but in a car you can swerve and you feel like you're more of a man of your own destiny in a plane. if there's something wrong, there's nothing you. >> well, we had paula. we had that, singapore airlines flight a few weeks ago, which experienced turbulence that the pilot said had never had before. one guy did unfortunately die, but it was as a result of a heart attack not sort of being launched into, for some reason, turbulence is the problem and i don't know why. >> so it's kind of worrying what's going on in the sky. >> well, there's this new claim now from, climate change alarmists that climate change is
9:24 pm
creating more obviously warmer air in the atmosphere and it's causing more turbulence. >> well, maybe cloud seeding. that's got something to do with it as well, because that's going on a lot. it's not just in dubai that happens. that happens a lot of other countries, but they don't admit it. so maybe that's affecting. >> so cloud seeding just for viewers that don't know is an artificial process where they pump, is it a sort of electrodes into the sky pacific and then it rains basically. >> so they get involved in nature when they shouldn't. >> well, it works in dubai because of course it's a desert. >> look at the floods. they had huge floods. you know they've got problems because of it. yeah. there was some speculation that they kind of overdone the cloud seeding . cloud seeding. >> but i always think that i love flying and you know, i love being in the air. i love being at airports. but i always think that if i'm going to come a cropper on a plane, so be it. because i imagine i mean, it sounds so, you know, sort of gloomy on a thursday night. but i always think if i'm going to die in an aeroplane, it's probably one of the easiest, you know, ways of going. well, how old you are. >> i mean, i wouldn't want to die now if i was 80, i probably wouldn't mind. >> but any severe turbulence i
9:25 pm
laugh my head off, i sit there, i'm laughing. oh, do you or. >> no, i don't laugh. i'm scared. if that happens, that's definitely a refined character. people love around you or sitting by you. >> but also, if anything goes wrong, it is a long way to the ground. it's not going to be quick. >> i'll tell you why. when i was a lot younger at my local newspaper, i did a fear of flying course with british airways. not because i was scared, but because they invited journalists up and we, did a trip along the south coast of england . the pilot was talking england. the pilot was talking the whole time. he said turbulence is equivalent to going over a pothole, in a car. he sped the plane up. he said, this is the sound of one engine going off. so i got really familiar with all the sounds and vibrations, but i don't know, it's just some weird reaction i have. whenever it's bad turbulence, i sit there sort of laughing my head off and people behind me are screaming. >> i like a bit of flight. i do feel like a nice retirement plan would be getting one of those little warm person planes. and just like taking that about the 70s dodgy, the little ones or instead of doing that, you could be flogging your pictures on onlyfans. >> like lily allen, she has started selling her feet on the subscription site. i'll be joined by another model from onlyfans who does the very same
9:26 pm
thing and, yeah, she's got a of soul searching to to say the least. stick with us. this is ben
9:27 pm
9:28 pm
9:29 pm
this is patrick christys. tonight with me. ben leo. 30 minutes until the polls close and our extensive coverage, which runs all through the night. camilla tominey stephen dixon will be there with top analysts and contributors, plus our gb news watch party with jubes and patrick christys . with hundreds patrick christys. with hundreds of audience members. it's going to be a cracking show. do not miss it. 30 minutes now, though for some serious investigative news. lily allen has joined onlyfans to sell pictures of her feet, so the singer has a five star rating on wikifeet, which is a website where users rate people's trotters over. >> you know , a lady that comes >> you know, a lady that comes and does my nails and they informed me that i have five stars on wikifeet , which is stars on wikifeet, which is quite rare, but yes, that my feet are rated quite highly on the internet .
9:30 pm
the internet. >> so lily allen's stupidest told her that she could, quote, make a lot of money selling foot content on onlyfans. >> she said that i could make a lot of money from selling foot content on onlyfans and i'm like, not no . like, not no. >> okay, so i'm joined now by onlyfans foot content model nova. jules, good evening nova, thanks for joining us, nova. jules, good evening nova, thanks forjoining us, right. what's going on here? just explain it, because this all seems very bizarre to me. i don't get why people would be interested in the slightest in other people's smelly feet. what's going on? >> i think, if you get it, you get it. and if you don't, you don't. i think once you're into feet, it's definitely something that nobody seems to break away from to be fair. >> so how much can foot models like yourself make ? what are you like yourself make? what are you raking in on, say, a weekly basis? >> do you know what i've done? content creation for four years now, and i wish that i'd tracked exactly what i made just off of my foot content. but i don't know specifically. but i do know
9:31 pm
that it's in the thousands. people will pay crazy , crazy people will pay crazy, crazy money for free, but it pays the bills right ? bills right? >> this is your job. it's not >> this is yourjob. it's not like a side hustle you do. this is your full time job. >> this is my full time job. yeah. and when i realised just how big the foot fetish world was , i could not believe it. i was, i could not believe it. i mean, people pay anything from £10 up to £500 for a photo. just photos of your feet. it's crazy right? >> i'm going to let you into a secret. i sometimes get messages from people on social media asking me for pictures of my feet. i block them straight away, but if i did go down that avenue, i never would. let's just put that on the record. how much would i expect to make as a man? is it different for a man and a woman ? and a woman? >> well, i think the industry is maybe taken over by women selling feet content more than men. but to be honest, i like a man when i speak, so i would personally subscribe and i'm always intrigued to see what people's feet look like as well. to be totally honest, i might
9:32 pm
subscribe to lily allen's just to see what she's up to, because i am intrigued to see what everybody's feet look like. that sounds like the weirdest thing i've ever done. it is it is it mostly, men or women who like the foot ? both, to be honest. i the foot? both, to be honest. i mean, i would maybe say, my buyers just now, i would say 80% men, but there are women out there that love them . there that love them. >> so there's your feet. tell us about your your foot care routine. are you taking particular, you know, a conscious effort to make sure they're in tip top shape? what do you do? what don't you do? >> i have always made sure that my feet are in prime condition. ready to take a photo of them at any opportunity. you never know when you're out and about or you're doing the shopping. a message might come through and they're like, i want a photo of your feet right now. so you've got to have them moisturised and painted and ready to snap a photo at any given opportunity . photo at any given opportunity. i get a pedicure every three weeks, so. >> so you could be in the supermarket doing your weekly
9:33 pm
shop and you'd get a request through. i mean, do you oblige them straight away or do you rush out to go home? i mean, how doesit rush out to go home? i mean, how does it work? >> no, i mean, some of them just want to see you there. and then if you're wearing trainers slippers, it doesn't matter. you're just pointing that camera down. take a picture of your feet at the moment and that's what they're for . feet at the moment and that's what they're for. happy >> oh dear. okay. no i'm glad it all works out for you. and you've got that going on. i mean, interesting, yeah . mean, interesting, yeah. interesting hustle. and best of luck to you. thank you for joining us. really appreciate it. >> thank you so much. >> thank you so much. >> oh dear. guys, how did we get here? what's going on? >> i once had a guy messaging me asking if he could buy my old smelly shoes. i thought, you're going to say something else then. >> goodness me. >> goodness me. >> well, people do pay for other funny things as well, but that was the. i told him, if you give me ten grand, all right. but then it turned out he was broke. louis do you get the foot vibe? >> it's not for me. i mean, i know there are some people that absolutely repulsed by feet and don't like people walking around without their socks on. i'm just not really fussed. but the fact that there's so much money to be, i mean , coming on this show
9:34 pm
be, i mean, coming on this show tonight, i found out either bet on your kids becoming superstars in the sports world or sell pictures of your feet. so that's it's. i'm not. i'm not saying it's. i'm not. i'm not saying it's a slow news day, but, you know, without the politics, it's a rather slow news. >> like from lily allen, though, it looks really desperate. like you're a famous person who's made loads of money in music. music? i mean, are you so rubbish now? and no one buys your music? >> i can't imagine she short to sell. >> she's not short of money. >> she's not short of money. >> she's not short of a few bob. i mean, £8 a month. i mean, she must have. i mean, if you're getting tens of thousands of subscribers, i think we have a picture of one of our panellists feats , louis oakley. let's have feats, louis oakley. let's have a look at yours. feats, louis oakley. let's have a look at yours . there we go. a look at yours. there we go. some. is that. is that duck feet or chicken feet? oh my god. and we got some of chloe's trotters. let's have a look . here we go. let's have a look. here we go. oh there we go, there we go. i think it's a pig's hoof. oh there we go, there we go. i think it's a pig's hoof . and think it's a pig's hoof. and this is. we've got paula's. there we are. paula. chicken feet. i wouldn't viewers at home. i wouldn't have dared subject you to real pictures of our panels. feet. there were

9:39 pm
you know, does a beard sort of seal the deal for you? you know what? >> absolutely not. i mean, it's been, what, since about eight years since i've been on a date with a man. but if he had a beard, i just know that just wouldn't do it for me. >> chloe. it's disgusting. the beard is the ultimate ick for me. i cannot date a man with a beard that is just a red line. it's disgusting. it's just a huge thing of pubes .onyour huge thing of pubes .on your face, basically. oh it's disgusting. and kissing a man with a big 0. it's disgusting. and then they get bits of food with it. it's. it's unhygienic. what about. >> what about some stylish stubble, you know , a little bit stubble, you know, a little bit of stubble that that is fine. >> and you know, we've heard here that men with beards are more likely to settle down with one woman. well, i think that's because they're less attractive, so they can't find multiple women. >> does the beard do it for you? >> does the beard do it for you? >> i, i don't like beards, per se. and for some reason, a lot of trolls on twitter have beards, like i call them beardy weirdies. so no, i don't like people that have proper beards , people that have proper beards, but like, what you have is fine. yeah, but a proper beard? no no no, a lot of teachers have beards as well, and a lot of people on the left seem to have beards. so no, see this though, this whole idea of settling down
9:40 pm
though dads on the school run. >> i'm probably this is i'm probably the one with the least facial hair. all of the dads on the school run when i when i go to the nursery, they all have beards. >> are they older than you? as well, >> they're a bit older than me. no beer bellies like . oh, the. no beer bellies like. oh, the. you know, these dads that run with, like , they're like with, like, they're like a sports pram. >> oh, hipster people have beards . beards. >> oh, i can't stand that. i see that on my nursery run. yeah, it's just. come on, leave it at home. if you want to go for a run, do it after you've dropped your kids off. don't. >> don't be. oh, i multitask, i'm a dad. look. oh look at my beard. that shows i'm a good a good, loyal man. >> okay, right. let's move on. it's time to reveal tonight's greatest briton and union jackass chloe dobbs, your greatest briton, please. >> it's jeremy clarkson. greatest briton, please. >> it'sjeremy clarkson. he greatest briton, please. >> it's jeremy clarkson. he has bought a pub and is going to openit bought a pub and is going to open it to serve local farm, produce meals there. and the reason why i'm bringing him up is because he has had so much tenacity to keep on fighting back against that local council. he just keep on giving him rubbish day in, day out. every time he tries to do anything on
9:41 pm
his farm, they come for him. he can't even put a track on his farm without them saying nope, you're not allowed that. and so the perseverance is very commendable. okay, lewis. >> okay, your greatest briton, mine were the pilots at heathrow airport's. >> my little girl is obsessed with planes taking off. begged me to take her. there we are , so me to take her. there we are, so we spent saturday just watching the planes take off. so thank you for the free entertainment. where was this? >> sorry . heathrow. >> sorry. heathrow. >> sorry. heathrow. >> heathrow? yeah. >> heathrow? yeah. >> i said earlier tonight. i love planes. i just love the idea. i mean, first of all, the technology and the engineering behind them, the facts that these, you know, mega ton aircraft filled with passengers and luggage that you know, just lifts off the ground so elegantly and beautifully and actually, i'm not sure if we've got it, but i love pilots as well because i think they're very talented. i mean, a lot of it is of course, auto pilot these days. but we took a houday these days. but we took a holiday a few months ago, me and my boys and the wife, and at the end of it, i didn't think they did it anymore. but the pilot allowed us into the cockpit. jude, my four year old, could have a sort of nose around. so yeah, loved it. >> i would love that. >> i would love that. >> paula london, your greatest fryston. >> hi, >> hi, >> his name is marcus skeete.
9:42 pm
he's also known as the hole boy on twitter. absolutely amazing. man. i'd love to meet him sometime. basically, he suffered with really bad depression over the last few years. he's been suicidal. he's lost a friend to depression, and he's decided to run to raise some money and will train intensively for a few months . he's train intensively for a few months. he's going to run a marathon in september or october, and it's never run before. so he's training really intensively. and because he's a larger chap, so he's been getting trolled by people like when he's running on the streets, but he's been very strong. he's not letting it deter him, and he's raising a lot of money for the mind charity that really helps people. so yeah, good on him. he's an inspiration to everyone. >> good lad. look, i had i, i had actually chosen the pilots to be tonight's gb, but after listening to you sell that, i mean , there's right before we mean, there's right before we get into that, there's my boy, there's me and my boy in the cockpit. we found that picture, my, my mate jude. there he is beaming. so i did pick the pilots of heathrow. but paula, i'm going to give it to your lad marcus. how old is he? >> i don't know, i don't know,
9:43 pm
but he's on my twitter page, so if you want to check it out. watching tonight, hopefully i didn't tell him. it's a surprise, but i'm going to message him later so he can watch. >> all right. i think you really sold it. i'd chosen the pilots because i love planes and i love aircraft, but after such a lovely man, it's inspiration to everyone. >> he's so humble and nice. so i love his page. okay, right. >> union jack has time, who should we start with? chloe dobbs. >> it's going to be ryanair. and there ramona ceo michael o'leary. because there was a woman with a violinist who wanted to get on the plane. they made her sit around for four hours and then wouldn't let her on the plane at all, because her violin does not fit the right square dimensions for a cabin bag. and they say you have to buy an entire extra seat if you want to bring your violin on the plane with you , even though it plane with you, even though it fits on your lap. i mean, it's just absolutely ridiculous. i know ryanair, they have to make their money with all their add ons, but to not let this amazing musician on a plane who's going to a big event just because she had a violin. i saw a little bit longer than the stupid cabin bag. >> i saw something similar. i went to austria on friday. i saw something similar. i breezed through check in. i just had a
9:44 pm
backpack, but some other lady was being, sort of accosted by the airline staff, making her put her her hand luggage into this, you know, little box to make sure it fit it didn't. they charged her £150 or something. so i guess that's how they make their money, lewis oakley, your union jackass >> mine is. unfortunately, the biden family. >> mine is. unfortunately, the biden family . what is happening, biden family. what is happening, i think, is genuinely quite cruel. they need to step in and help him out because the political system in the us is not going to they're not going to be able to get rid of him. he has to go himself. and i wouldn't let my granddad run for local council. the pressure that's on that man, it's not it's not right, >> what do you reckon about joe biden? i mean, he's is he going to be replaced? i mean, it's extraordinary that normally with the democrat party, at least, there is so much universal support for their president. but in recent days we've had, you know, left leaning democrat supporting new york times, the washington post, both running opinion pieces, stories on sources that biden will be replaced. is that a sign of anything? >> i don't think i think the american system, they're all being paid. if he goes, there's so many people around him that
9:45 pm
go with him, and also all of his funding will go with him. all of the money that they've they've raised will go with him and there won't be enough time to, to put someone else in. so i don't think there's going to be a system that gets rid of him. you will have to go with his own will. and i think the family that's propping him up, they really need to take a look at themselves. this is not good for him. like this is not good for someone that old to have all this pressure on and to now have the world's media saying, look at the state of him. yeah, i mean, that debate last week was something else. >> and i think donald trump actually felt rather embarrassed. i think he could have gone for in a real kill shot and really gone for him after his sort of stuttering and, you know, not being able to finish sentences, but quite respectfully, i'd argue he kind of said, look, i don't even think joe knows what he's talking. >> when trump thinks it's too far, you know that you're in. you're in a bad situation. okay >> the kamala harris problem is a big problem. i think unless they can convince michelle obama to step in because it's so hard to step in because it's so hard to get rid of a woman of colour, i don't think that this gavin newsom guy is going to be able to take over. okay >> all right. paula london, your union jackass. >> hi. so it's kind of a strange
9:46 pm
story. >> it's a guy, i think from the north. and he decided to buy a fake, police siren on amazon, and he was driving around. yeah, his name is david. so he was driving around in the north pretending he was a police car. he put it on the top of the roof and was speeding past people. he was getting a kick out of people pulling over on the motorway, etc. and he got away with it for quite a while. and then one time the police saw him and thought he was an undercover policeman. then they saw him at the traffic lights and thought, no, we don't think you are. pulled him over and he was lying and he said he bought it from amazon and he wanted to be a police officer. so in a way it is a jack carson thing to do. but it's almost kind of funny because he got away with it for quite a while and the police did think he was genuine, but now he's in court and he's got community service. he got points on his licence , he got points on his licence, got criminal records. so i just think it's funny, but it's a jack carson thing to do. >> okay. tonight's union jackass is jill biden, because , you is jill biden, because, you know, i am not a joe biden fan
9:47 pm
whatsoever. but when you see the utany whatsoever. but when you see the litany of gaffes that joe biden has committed, not just in that debate last week, but over the years running up these steps to air force one, falling over three times, being ushered , you three times, being ushered, you know, in the right direction because he doesn't know where he is trying to shake people's hands who aren't there or someone he's already shaken. you know, confusing the russian invasion of ukraine with the iraq war, saying that his son, his late son beau biden, was killed in iraq serving for the military just all, all insane stuff. and, you know, even if you don't like donald trump and you don't like donald trump and you believe all the conjecture about him being you know, orange man, bad and whatever else, really , joe biden, louis oakley, really, joe biden, louis oakley, it's cruel. >> it's cruel what they're doing. we'll look back and think, how do how do people allow that to go on? >> he's still being selfish. >> he's still being selfish. >> he's still being selfish. >> he should step down himself. he's compos mentis enough to know that he's not really the full ticket anymore. he's got cognitive decline. >> your wife is telling you, no, you're doing great. you answered all the questions. >> he knows himself, he knows himself, and he's being selfish because he's risking people's lives. really? you know, he. yeah. >> everyone around you is on the
9:48 pm
pay >> everyone around you is on the pay packet and is being basically, if you go, then i'm going to lose my job. i won't be able to afford my kids, blah, blah, blah. that's a lot of pressure. you don't know why he's saying so. someone needs to step in and say, look, this is the right thing to do. stop listening to everyone else. i'm your wife. >> he wants a tescos. >>— >> he wants a tescos. >> he wants a tescos. >> he wouldn't be fit to work. so how can he be the president? all right. >> sorted out jill biden, tonight's honorary union jackass. that's for all tonight. thank you for bearing with us. as you know, we haven't been able to talk about politics because of the election, interesting topics to say the least. but look, in the next five minutes, we're going live to our extensive election coverage all through the night. it's going to be a cracker. stick with us. >> a brighter outlook with boxt 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 going to bring some windy
