manhunt in the wake of the discovery of body parts. but police are now not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident . the incident. >> well, investigators believe that the remains found at an address in shepherd's bush are unked address in shepherd's bush are linked to those found in two suitcases dumped near clifton suspension bridge on wednesday. >> okay, we're joined now by former scotland yard detective peter bleksley. good morning peter. thanks for joining peter bleksley. good morning peter. thanks forjoining us this morning. what do we know about the facts of this case as of this morning? >> well, to experienced observers of crime and policing, matters , it was only a matter of matters, it was only a matter of time before arrests were going to be made. because in the modern age, major crimes are solved through , generally solved through, generally speaking, one or a combination of three things. number one cctv. number two, forensic evidence. and number three, mobile phone records. and right from the very early stages of this case, we knew there was substantial cctv. and there would of course, be substantial

forensic evidence. so this arrest was simply a matter of time . and i think we should time. and i think we should spare a moment for those detectives. excuse me. who will have been strangers to their bedsin have been strangers to their beds in the last few days, who will have worked tirelessly round the clock to ensure that an arrest has been made? >> yes. rightly said peter, those detectives working so quickly to arrest that suspect , quickly to arrest that suspect, and you also want to think about the families as well, don't you? in this and the families of all the cases that we've been covering this week, it has been a particularly dark week, hasn't it, peter? we've got these bodies found in suitcases. those three women killed in a crossbow attack. this week. a newborn baby yesterday found dead in a bin. it just feel like you despair for the state of our world and the man shot dead in peckham in south—east london this week. >> other murders . and you are

>> other murders. and you are right, and i thank you so much for mentioning victims families , for mentioning victims families, people this week who have been so deeply traumatised and will bear the emotional scars for the rest of their lives because of what has happened to their loved ones. and deep within this malaise of bloodshed and hurt, i fear , is men committing acts of fear, is men committing acts of violence. and we have a problem with men. now, i'm not saying, of course , all men. that would of course, all men. that would be, quite frankly , ludicrous. be, quite frankly, ludicrous. but if we look potentially back on these cases, some months when they have been solved and other cases aside from this week, there is a plague of violence being committed by men and quite frankly, we need to come together to address this because there is too much hurt, too much

bloodshed and too much murder . bloodshed and too much murder. >> yes, peter, of course we had the horrific details of holly willoughby's kidnap, rape and torture case. gavin plum i mean, you know, a monster. i mean, you can't describe him in any other way. what is it about men and the culture at the moment which you think is concerning? is it social media? is it a lack of, guidance from role models? is it a lack of fathers in the household ? what's your take on household? what's your take on it? >> i think it could be a combination of all those things, and it may be a lower ring generally speaking, of standards, which my mother held me to when i was a young man. babies are being born who were turning into boys who are becoming monsters when they are men. something needs to break that chain. there is far too much violence, abuse and dreadful acts going on against women and i. i come across young women and i. i come across young

women every day of the week. i bump into them during my working life and i am endlessly being told stories of harassment on pubuc told stories of harassment on public transport, harassment and assaults in the street and worse. and when i say to these women, have you reported this to the police ? unfortunately, all the police? unfortunately, all too often the reply is, what's the point? because they don't feel they will get a thorough investigation ? well, there is investigation? well, there is a point and anybody who is subject to abuse or assault, i urge them please, to report it to the police because only by the police. understanding the scale of the problem. may they then be able to start to get a grip of the problem. >> yeah, really important message. thank you . peter message. thank you. peter bleksley really good to see you. thank you . thank you. >> yeah. i mean, sorry to bang on about my kids all the time. i do love them, but it's a worry. as a dad of two young kids, i think a lot of it i mean, tell us what you think on your say

gbnews.com/yoursay. i think a lot of it is down to the rise of onune lot of it is down to the rise of online porn. really? personally, yeah. online porn. really? personally, yeah . i mean, it's so accessible yeah. i mean, it's so accessible for especially young kids , ten, for especially young kids, ten, 11, 12, 13 year olds viewing content which , you know, is content which, you know, is extreme. and also in previous generations wouldn't have been so easily accessible to them, so that's just my take on it. it's a worry because as a dad, you wonder when your kids go to school and they get mobile phones. are they going to be sharing this kind of content? can they access. >> yeah, let's bring in our panel on that one, because i can see you both nodding along. kriss akabusi and jenni trent hughes, really good to have you with us today, chris. let's start with you. what are your thoughts? >> so i think actually it is a tilt towards what i call the defenestration of masculinity . defenestration of masculinity. the facts are, as far as i see it, society has does not allow a man to raise his voice in the home. and the jesuits used to say , give me the child, and i'll

say, give me the child, and i'll give you the man for the child is the father of the man a very masculine way. but you know, the child is the parent of the adult. now, when you're that young and dad says, and i won't raise my voice , but he says, no, really voice, but he says, no, really severely . no. the young male severely. no. the young male sees a dad has all of this power but restricts it. yeah keeps it harnessed. and only you utilise it in extreme moments . but what it in extreme moments. but what we have, as far as i'm concerned, is young men growing up without seeing that role model of dad saying no. so that when he gets to 16, 24 and his masculinity rises, he's never been taught to how bridle it. he's never been taught how to keep it in check . he's never been taught how to keep it in check. he's he's never been taught how to keep it in check . he's never keep it in check. he's never been taught the difference . and been taught the difference. and i do think there's a difference between the male and the female

and that that, you know, you don't lay hands on a woman. yeah, hopefully you never see that modelled, you know, your dad laying hands on his wife. and so i do think that there's a very thin veneer of civility in our society. and unless it's role modelled, when you're very, very young, that young person who all of a sudden gets so strong never understands how to hold it back. >> jenny. fatherless homes. and sometimes online it's become a meme. fatherless behaviour they've called it. do you think having a male role model at home has anything to do with, can we just scrap everything else and just scrap everything else and just talk about this for the next two hours, please? >> because because i don't even know where to start . there was a know where to start. there was a big study done years ago where they tried to figure out what was it that made people go off the rails? is it not having fathers? is it living in a city? is it not having money? and they found that the most important thing is low ci ci is

self—esteem index. and that actually if you work on a child's self—esteem, then they will grow into a more confident adult, etc. we are living in a world of this us and them business, which really has got to stop. it is incredibly on them in terms of who, us and them in terms of who, us and them in terms of who, us and them in relationship to men, women, men are awful, men are horrible, and women need to be protected from men. we all need to raise each other. it's not us and them that will not work. we all need to be more kind, be more careful and you are absolutely spot on about the porn. i've been yelling about that for the past 15 years. that is an epidemic that no one is doing anything about. >> yeah, well, this links on, well, actually to a story that we're just about to touch on in the telegraph, but just to say that mike sharp's been untouched

on gbnews.com/yoursay saying i was about to say porn is the reason for the violence that we're seeing. in our community right now. and nathaniel just says, finally, a wise voice to the two of you, so let's look at this story, shall we? in the telegraph, this is about sir keir starmer says he's not in favour of simply banning phones for under 16 seconds. you remember in in may there was a committee of mps and they said that a new government should consider an all out ban for social media, for smartphones, for under 16 seconds. keir starmer says he's not willing to do that. what do you think? yeah. >> so again i think that i mean he's very wise. he's saying that we've got a lot of things to get getting on with over the next 18 months, and that's something that he wants to put out into the long grass. the 18 months, that what he does, suggests is that what he does, suggests is that while he believes that the youngsters should have a phone, what should be restricted is the access that they have to certain sites and certain parts of the, the internet. and i you know,

i've not really thought about that. and i've been very liberal with my children. both my children had phones once they turned juniors and i've not put blocks and stuff on it. and probably i'm probably wrong in not doing that. but it's too late now. >> why can't they just have jenny, what we'd call bricks? you know, the old sort of nokia 33 tens that i used to, you know, roam around with snake. no access to the internet. >> i mean, i'd be happy with a phone call on. >> well, yeah, but first of all, there's two things. think about buildings that you go into where the phones do not work. so that's the first thing most buildings , especially schools, buildings, especially schools, can put blocks on the system so that you cannot access the wi—fi . that you cannot access the wi—fi. so that's the first, you know, that's the first thing i just finished doing a project in schools, went around talking in 16 schools. and one of the things that shocked me more than anything else was in every class, a large percentage of the children telling me that they're sorry, that they have phones, they wish they didn't have

phones because it was keeping them from going outside, enjoying things . all of that. enjoying things. all of that. one of the things that parents can do is work a reward system with your kid. so say, okay, no for every day that you don't use your phone, you give me your phone, i keep it. whatever you will get, and then you have reward points. so you're giving them, you know, freedom to do this, freedom to do that, whatever. so that they're earning the right to use the phone. >> i mean, the internet is the greatest and potentially the worst thing to ever happen to humanity, isn't it? you know, the doors it's opened, the available access readily available, you know, trove of information and education, but yet such a dark but we're the first generation. >> we are the last generation that are going to be alive, that will remember the world free. yeah. and one of the things about not stopping our youngsters from being excessive because they are the digital nafives because they are the digital natives who are going to take it

to another exponential level . to another exponential level. so, you know, we can't restrict them from the from the internet and artificial intelligence because we'd almost be restricting the inventions of the future. so it is like you've said, it's getting them to choose, getting them to choose not to be obsessed with it. >> so it's not preventing them from doing it. >> so it's not preventing them from doing it . yeah. it's from doing it. yeah. it's getting them not to want to do it. >> well, that's a good, good point about being that i was i think the last generation where before the internet came in, i caught the sort of start of it when i was 11, 12, 13. and i remember it was it was magical back then. i remember when you couldn't find your friends, you'd have to go down the park. are they there? no. go down to the beach over there. no you'd have to call the landline. you remember the number ofsted? no, it was good fun. it was magic. >> dial up internet, all that and loads of you getting in touch on this, michael carr says the worst thing to ever happen in this world is social media. we never had these horrendous problems when we when we did not have this poisonous thing, duncan says, ben, i agree, smartphones need to be banned for minors. obviously i couldn't

rent a horror movie from blockbusters before i was 18 and now we are giving full, full handheld access to children and it's poisoning their mind. when did we stop protecting our children? well, do keep those views coming in gbnews.com slash your say those were the days blockbusters , right, blockbusters, right, >> some breaking news for you now. some good news as well. kensington palace has confirmed that the princess of wales , kate that the princess of wales, kate middleton, will attend the wimbledon men's final on sunday tomorrow to present the trophy tomorrow to present the trophy to the winner. >> oh well , that is lovely news. >> oh well, that is lovely news. it's nice to have something to smile about, isn't it? what do you make of that news? >> that is fabulous. yeah you know, we haven't seen her that often. and to see her. >> june now trooping the colour. >> june now trooping the colour. >> yeah. no, that'll be really lovely to see her put her fears to rest, you know that she's here. she's alive. she's a kicking. she's, you know, vibrant and hopefully she's really looks glorious. looks fantastic. >> i'm sure she will. and we know how much she loves the tennis as well. >> and especially to miss this, especially if alcaraz wins. that's going to make it even

nicer. >> just say who do you want to win now ? win now? >> craig snell djokovic i've got no doubt djokovic's me , no doubt djokovic's me, djokovic, alcaraz oh oh he's djokovic. >> he's been having his, his fights with the fans, hasn't he? djokovic you know, kind of , djokovic you know, kind of, having a go at him for booing him and playing the violins. i love djokovic, no, i love djokovic, alcaraz , alcaraz i djokovic, alcaraz, alcaraz i mean, he's standing up for what he believes in. >> yeah . and you know, he's not >> yeah. and you know, he's not afraid to lay it on the line and say, you know, hey, guys, you know, i'm doing my best. you might not like me, but i'm still winning. oh, get it on. >> it's going to be a great day tomorrow isn't it? yes. >> i'm already wimbledon and now the princess of wales. >> lots to look forward to. and we need it in this bleak, bleak world that we're living in at the moment. >> that's why i love sports so much. it's a nice escape sport. >> yeah, you're right actually. escapism, isn't it? >> thank you both. bless you. back shortly up in the next hour coming up we'll be talking all things football with former england manager and footballing legend sam allardyce. >> but up next what's joe biden done now? well stay tuned for his latest presidential gaffes

next. >> hello. welcome back. 1025 ben and ellie with you on saturday morning live. i think we've got some views flying in on your. say. ellie, do you want to do the honours? >> loads of you talking to us today. thank you so much, adrian porter on social media and phone bands for under 16 seconds. adrian says mobiles should be locked in lockers when in school, but kids need to be able to contact, need to be able to be contacted and checked on by their parents. but we should be able to block certain websites. >> but hang on, how did we survive? i mean, how did i survive? i mean, how did i survive in high school without without a phone, a parent, i mean, generate lots of generations before us did. >> why is it it's really hard, isn't it? >> really, really. i can't imagine having to be a parent. i don't think you've got a lot to deal with raising two. >> i know i'm not looking forward to it. >> young boys, >> young boys, >> aaron, you say, why is no one

talking or mentioning the lack of discipline from schools, home and the streets since being removed from society? the lack of discipline is breeding criminals and killers, bring back the borstal system. controversial. >> well, you've used coming in. please gbnews.com/yoursay on any of the stories that we are talking about today. >> okay, let's go stateside, shall we? >> cross the pond? yes. >> cross the pond? yes. >> another day, another gaffe from joe biden as the us president made this particular mistake when welcoming ukraine's president zelenskyy onto the stage at the nato summit this week. >> and now i want to hand it over to the president of ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination. ladies and gentlemen, president putin. >> well, if this wasn't bad enough, when asked a question about his vice president, kamala harris, he instead called her vice president trump. >> i wouldn't have picked vice president trump to be vice president. did i think she was not qualified to be president? so let's start there . so let's start there. >> oh dearjoe, right now, the >> oh dear joe, right now, the president continues to insist he will be the democrat candidate

at november's presidential election. but after these latest gaffes, just how much longer can he hold on? >> well, joining us now to discuss this is journalist and author nelson aspen. good to see you this morning. nelson. what did you make of this solo press conference from joe biden? because there was some really coherent, solid points made from him in that hour long press conference. but it's this that has overshadowed everything. it's these gaffes that happen time and time again. >> that's right. his supporters are keen to point out that it was better than the debate , but was better than the debate, but thatis was better than the debate, but that is a very low bar to exceed for sure. and while it may be cringeworthy for your viewers to see those gaffes, as you say, for any of us that have dealt with an ageing parent in distress from age, i mean, i'm not a neurologist, but it's clear that something is very wrong and president biden remains defiant. his his supporters remain defiant and

that he is going to go ahead and be the nominee come november. regardless of the calls. increasing calls not only from hollywood stars but from members of his own party to step down, give it over to a younger generation or his vice president, kamala harris. so it remains to be seen. but for today anyway, and it does seem to change day by day. he will remain the nominee. >> yeah , nelson, he is staunch >> yeah, nelson, he is staunch in his defence that he is going to be the man to take on donald trump. however, we all know money talks and reports this morning suggest that up to $90 million worth of donations to his campaign and the democratic party have now been frozen until he stands down. >> that's correct. and he also has the delegate support. so and that's up to him to give over those delegates to kamala harris or whoever the ultimate nominee might be. so there is a lot of waiting and seeing , and people

waiting and seeing, and people are trying very hard, apparently, to convince him to step aside. excuse me , but the step aside. excuse me, but the key, i think, for him is his inner circle . he key, i think, for him is his inner circle. he is being protected from these calls that the general public is making by his inner circle, which probably includes his wife and his son. >> but how do you think president joe biden is, is actually feeling about november as a prospect ? because it has as a prospect? because it has changed what he's saying. his narrative has changed in the past week or so, hasn't it? he was talking about only the good lord could tell him that. he can't. he can't stand in november. but then that changed to, well, actually show me in the polls that i can't win in november. so it does sound as though even he's aware that maybe this isn't going to go his way . way. >> i don't know if it's the fact that he is looking for an out, or if he's trying to spin it so that when he is pushed out, he will have an excuse. well, it was the polls. well, it was this. well, it was that you have to understand that joe biden has been a career politician for over a half a century. there's

an there's an ego that goes along with that. and while he may seem like a kindly grandfather, the point is he has worked very hard over the course of 50 years to get into this position. and i don't think he or his inner circle are willing to let go of it. so he's going to let go of it. so he's going to remain defiant until the last possible moment. and his party seems to be, acquiescing to that and saying, well, what are we going to do? we're stuck with him till november. and if there's a path to victory, we'll find it. it certainly doesn't look likely at the moment. >> yeah, nelson, some would argue that's a pretty selfish move on his behalf when you know you're struggling, you know, mentally , are you really the mentally, are you really the best man to lead the free world? what do you make briefly of sir keir starmer, our new prime minister. he said after meeting joe biden in washington on tuesday that he was in great form. he's not senile, there's nothing wrong with him. and then , nothing wrong with him. and then, unfortunately for sir keir starmer, these gaffes then followed in the 24 hours afterwards. it kind of puts his judgement into question. do you think ? think? >> well he's he's he's new to the job. i think he's got to

make a good impression on the global stage . but as my mother global stage. but as my mother used to say, you can't get in trouble with your mouth shut. i think everybody should just sort of sit back. they're not going to be able to influence joe biden at this stage of the game. you guys have problems of your own, just as we do. he should probably worry about the home front, not worry about joe biden, because we can't do anything. he's not going to be able to either. >> okay. nelson. aspen, good to see you this morning. thank you so much for your time. and jillian powell has just been in touch saying these are not gaffes. a gaffe is something that someone who is compos mentis can make. these are symptoms of severe cognitive decline or dementia . another decline or dementia. another symptom is not realising his own decline. so of course he wants to stay on to continue. what is even more sinister is the crowds cheering him to stay on. >> yeah, i guess that's where the criticism of his family and inner circle comes, because if he is struggling, then it's down to them to kind of it's argued, you know, to rein him in. but anyway, we'll see what happens

in november. it's going to be an exciting couple of months. >> it certainly is. >> it certainly is. >> do keep reviews coming in on any of the stories that we are talking about today. up next, we're going to be talking, of about the football with former england manager and

next. welcome back to saturday morning live. there is one big question on everyone's lips. this weekend, isn't there? >> is it coming home? >> is it coming home? >> is it finally coming home? >> is it finally coming home? >> yes. the three lions will take on spain tomorrow night in berlin. of course. it's the final of the euros. >> 2020 for manager gareth southgate has said his players need to be tactically perfect. if we're to beat the spanish team, who impressively overcame france in their semi—final. >> that's a lot of pressure, isn't it? >> but of course the excitement is growing and we are delighted to be joined now by former england manager and footballing legend big sam allardyce. how are you feeling about tomorrow? sam >> i'm not sure.

>> i'm not sure. >> i'm looking forward to it yet. i'm sure we'll i will be by tomorrow, but i think, looking at the situation and everybody's sort of thinking spain are the favourites. i'm not that sure about that. i think they've played a very good tournament, showed some good skills, but i can see him in some weaknesses at the back. if gareth can exploit them. and, of course he has said that the players have to be, tactically aware and on top of the game for this one. of course, i also believe that gareth has to be the same when it comes to how the situation is panning out and when needs and when he needs to change the tactics or make a substitution so they've worked in the last couple of games particularly well , and couple of games particularly well, and they obviously will need to work very well. i think on sunday. >> yeah. sam, i was going to mention that actually you know, it's all very well gareth saying the players need to be on their game. but also, you know, the manager does as well. and it's been argued we've had a fairly lucky run to the final. we had two draws in the group stage, a

jude bellingham wondergoal to save us against slovakia, a penalty that maybe wasn't deserved against the netherlands. and now we're in the final. anything can happen in a final, of course, but what do you make of all the stick southgate's been getting up until now , well it's never going until now, well it's never going to change when you're in that position. >> believe you me i mean no matter what you do somebody's always looking looking at the, the critical side in terms of giving you some criticism. but i mean , i think he stood up to it mean, i think he stood up to it really well. i think the players have stood up to it really well. i think it's united. the players across the board. i think they've had a very good resilience, even though we would have perhaps wanted them to play a lot better. but they've showed huge resilience and the most important thing, like every, every tournament and every game of football, you're in it to win it. and when you're playing not as well as you know you can and still getting through, however, by whatever method you get through, then that's fine. we all hope it's going to be a

cracking final, but more importantly, we just helping them win. that will do us all. i mean, in 2 or 3 weeks time we won't be worrying about how well england did or didn't play. if they win the trophy , they'll all they win the trophy, they'll all be heroes. they'll all be legends along with gareth. so let's hope that's the case. winning. winning the euros on foreign soil for the first time foreign soil for the first time for england will be one hell of an achievement for everybody. >> oh , just be incredible. i >> oh, just be incredible. i really, really hope it happens. sam, give us some insight. how are the players going to be feeling today? and as a manager, how do you try and control that level of pressure on on the players and make them perform their best tomorrow? >> well, i think there's , you >> well, i think there's, you know, very little they need to do in training. i think they've, you know, energy wise, they've exhausted themselves in this tournament. they've given everything they've got. they've had to play extra time in one game. and i think that downtime and rest has been one of the

big, the big things to achieve in, in the last few days, and i think then tactically they can make the team aware of what spain are going to do, and then they've got to make spain very aware about spain's weaknesses, i think on the positive at the end , whatever the message is, end, whatever the message is, i think at the end it needs to be a positive one against. this is how you beat spain . i think in how you beat spain. i think in between that, it's about how the players spend their own downtime, whether they spend it together in little groups, whether you're on your own and now you you get away and pass the time for the big game and not not use up too much . not not not use up too much. not just physical energy, but mental energy. so it's going to be very important on the on this time between now and then, that everything comes together and you don't leave anything on the day and don't come off with any regrets. >> and sam, just finally, what would it mean for the country in terms of lifting the mood, the

optimism for our future? and also, should we get a bank holiday? >> well, i'd be very disappointed if we don't get a bank holiday. it's about time we did something for ourselves in england. and i think if we win it, we should all celebrate. and if we've got a headache on monday morning, we shouldn't be. we shouldn't be forced to go into work no matter what the bosses think, particularly particularly the ones that don't support england. so i think that we need to we need to celebrate it as much as we possibly can. it would be a great achievement, and it will lift the country, you know? i mean, it'll lift the country because let's face it, it's not been the best for the last few years and it's been a pretty much doom and gloom. what's happening to people across this country. so the spirit will be lifted and has been lifted. and i have to say, the support has been absolutely fantastic. >> well, i think i think there'll be plenty of people calling in sick on monday if we do win. and also, sam, just a final note, you are a legend. i've noted your various trophies in the background, but manager of the month for when you

tormented my beloved arsenal as bolton manager. so thank you for joining us. you're a legend, as i say, and fingers crossed for tomorrow. enjoy the game. >> now let's cross to the place where it's all going to happen tomorrow. berlin. where of course, the final is taking place. our gb news reporterjack carson is there. jack, you're still not in an england shirt. what is going on? >> i'm doing my best. okay i'm doing my best. there are plans in motion, so fingers crossed . in motion, so fingers crossed. at some point i can have something england on. but let me show you where. of course, at the brandenburg gate. let me show you around to what's going on. of course, all of these england fans here coming to get a photo, bringing their flags, all coming here of course, because this is where it's happening in berlin, in this city. our england are going to make history once again. let's come and have a chat to someone who is hoping. of course, jack miller, you are an england fan. you've come over here. tell me, how have you got to berlin? >> well, i got the flight last night from manchester and just buzzing to be here now . loving buzzing to be here now. loving seeing all the england fans around. it'sjust seeing all the england fans around. it's just brilliant . around. it's just brilliant. >> i mean, you were telling me this is going to be your first

friend and colleague, keith ellick, who had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. >> and since that first project, band of builders has completed a wide range of projects with a combined delivery value of over £1 million. and that's towards things like accessible bathrooms, kitchens , wheelchair bathrooms, kitchens, wheelchair ramps and even complete home renovations to the incredible response from tradespeople all across the uk saw the project completed and demonstrated what can be achieved when the industry stands together well. >> we are delighted to be joined now by gavin, who is ceo and congratulations, you are this week's greatest britain. so lovely to meet you and welcome gavin. such incredible work that you do. the construction industry is so vital to this country. absolutely. and their work is very, very tough and it's difficult. >> the construction industry is very challenging, >> it's in a very fragile place at the moment. so we're proud to offer a range of services and resources to, to support those that work in the industry. >> and why are, say , builders so >> and why are, say, builders so vulnerable? is it because they you know, a lot of them are self—employed? for starters, they don't have holidays to fall back on or sick pay. and, you

know, the support of, say, a big sort of corporate juggernaut. is that part of it? absolutely. >> i mean, over 50% of the construction industry is self—employed, and there's so many factors and challenges that the industry faces at the moment, i was just to talking ellie. the construction industry currently has the highest suicide rate of any industry, really. two construction workers dying by suicide every day. >> really? two a day? yes. that's shocking. absolutely. >> that's staggering leads that gavin, because it is such a shocking statistic, isn't it? >> it is. i think the contributing factors are many, the loneliness, the job insecurity, tool theft is another major issue, which we're obviously seeking support from the new government on, pressures of work, getting work and obviously supporting our families. >> and you know what? it's a hard graft as well, isn't it? it's not. i mean, i'm sitting here on a sofa just talking to people, which pales in comparison. but, you know, when i get builders round or tradies round my house, they are super talented. they work hard, they're up at the crack of dawn andifs they're up at the crack of dawn and it's a physically hard,

demanding job. absolutely. >> it's very labour intensive, that's obviously the nature of the job. it takes a toll on the body, that's for sure. >> tell us about the charity then. band of builders. what kind of work do you do? >> so, yeah, we're a charity dedicated to supporting those that work in or who have worked in the construction industry and their families, let's say through the practical projects that we deliver through our wellbeing and mental health resources and through financial grants. and like i say, our projects typically consist of making home adaptions and renovations for those that, have fallen on hard times through illness or injury, like kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations, bathroom renovations to full blown extensions, and are those people that are working to do those sorts of works. >> would they be working for free as part of the charity? wow. >> we're very proud to be in a position to unite the construction industry. all of our projects are delivered by some incredible, selfless volunteer tradespeople who give up their time and skill skills from the from across the uk, >> we've got some pictures on screen here actually, just while you're talking, are very fortunate to be supported by industry, by builders merchants

and manufacturers suppliers who donate materials to help us deliver these projects. and they all work for free. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> it must be the most rewarding work to give back to your industry, which, as you've described so well for us this morning, is in a really hard times at the moment. >> it's so rewarding. >> it's so rewarding. >> and i mean credit to everyone that volunteers and supports our work, but our volunteers do get so much from from volunteering and getting involved, it's how i got involved with the charity in 2017 as a volunteer and just fell in love with the whole course. coui'se. >> course. >> so how would you pick a recipient of, you know, work or a project? do people apply to you? do you go hunting for them? how does it work? >> no. so we're actually inundated with applications for support on the hardship and financial side and practical side, so it can be tough to sort through and decide who is most worthy or where we can make the biggest impact to support. >> it must be impossible to choose. >> it must be impossible to choose . how do you go on it? do choose. how do you go on it? do you have a scale or does it come from the heart, or how do you decide?

>> no, we have a criteria, so we're looking at someone's condition, their quality of life and the impact of that project will have on that beneficiary. >> and do you get any donations from government or. no. >> so no donations from government. we're very fortunate to work with some incredible industry partners who support our work and help finance the projects. >> we have a new government now, what support would you would you like to see for your industry? what would make things easier? >> obviously, we'll be calling on the government to help tackle the mental health issues within construction. we want to see that suicide figure come down, there's a huge skills gap within there's a huge skills gap within the industry , there's currently the industry, there's currently almost 40,000 vacancies within construction , more people are construction, more people are leaving the industry than join in. so the skills gap is only going to get worse. and we want to tackle the crippling issues around tool theft that is crippling tradespeople, on a daily basis. so there's lots of areas there. so we'd be welcome. any conversations with government departments or ministers that could help support the industry? that is

crucial to the economy? >> i mean, tools they can cost thousands, maybe even tens of thousands, maybe even tens of thousands of pounds. and when they're stolen by thieves from vans, it's, you know, that is their livelihoods gone. so it's a very interesting point. really shocked about that stat by the way. two a day i mean it's shocking. >> and that's so important to talk about gavin. and that's why you are this week's greatest britain. and thank you so much for shining a light on your industry and the challenges that so many people in the construction industry have, because it's so important to talk about so many people aren't aware, are they? >> so thanks, gavin. >> so thanks, gavin. >> thank you so much. it's a pleasure to meet you. >> okay. lots more to come, including showbiz with steph takyi. who else, more of the day's top stories, including england's clash against spain tomorrow, saturday morning live. don't go anywhere. back in a. tick. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on . gb. news weather on. gb. news >> hello there! welcome to your gb news. weather forecast provided by the met office. quite a mixed picture on the

cards in terms of our weather this weekend. disappointing for some of us, but a few brighter spells possible, particularly further towards the west where we do have high pressure keeping things a touch more settled. but for those in the east it is low pressure in the north sea that is providing more unsettled conditions. a lot of cloud coming in with this. outbreaks of rain and drizzle, a very dull, damp and dreary saturday. for many of us here. those brighter spells possible further towards the west, but sunshine still really at a premium for many of us. and that is going to factor in with the temperatures. very disappointing. 1314 c for some of us is well below where we'd normally expect to be for the middle of july. might just scrape 19 or 20 degrees across areas of the south and south—west. that area of cloud and rain is going to be quite persistent. eastern areas of scotland. very cloudy throughout saturday, but further towards the highlands, parts of argyll and bute again seeing the best of some of that sunshine in there. a few showers possible with those bright spells for northern ireland. they could be on the sharp side around at times, and as well a few showers also possible for wales. parts of southern england perhaps the

odd rumble of thunder around in there as well , though showers there as well, though showers tending to ease off as we head into this evening and overnight. and actually for southern areas of wales and england, the cloud will break up a bit more as well. a few mist and fog patches possible here, but it is going to remain very cloudy, damp and soggy for northern areas of england. southern scotland. with that rain really persisting, turning heavy at times, maybe some localised flooding issues in 1 or 2 places. that cloud, though, will help hold the temperatures up most of us in double digit figures overnight might just drop into single figures in some rural spots. underneath those clearer skies in the south, and it is here that we'll have the best of the sunshine first thing on sunday. not too bad of a start before some of that cloud builds in again, and not too bad in the way of sunshine as well for parts of central scotland. again, that sort of argyll and bute highlands area, but the central swathe of the uk is going to see persistent cloud and rain throughout all of sunday as well. disappointing once again. unfortunately, by by. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb

hear it. >> my biggest concern would be extra time and penalties, which means i'll stay up late and i'm knackered in the morning. not because of the nerves of pens. i think we'll win on penalties, do you think? >> no, don't say that. i just think it just makes me nervous even talking about it. anyway, keep those views coming in gb news @gbnews .com. you'll say yes, that's the one. >> of course we are. you take this. yeah. >> we are. you're so nervous about the football. well it's stressed. >> i'm so stressed. >> i'm so stressed. >> now we're all wondering how england will get on in the final. but what does a guide dog puppy final. but what does a guide dog puppy think about england's chances. so a group of dog puppies guide dog puppies have been predicting all of england's results so far. let's take a look at what puppy harry canine thinks about this. so yay, hurricane ian says it's obviously england, right? >> i guess that's a yes if you're sniffing it. the england flag. i think that's a good sign . flag. i think that's a good sign. >> yeah. well done harry. canine who's next? >> oh. oh it's the side that there's meat underneath there. >> oh there's some there's some great great names here. >> marcus rashford . >> marcus rashford. >> marcus rashford. >> ooh didier drogba of course named after former chelsea

with all of the global dignitaries that are coming to celebrate this joyous occasion? is it or are the all the dignitaries themselves being blessed by the obama family, saying, you're coming to this high society role and you're very lucky to be here? and so, i mean, it's just it just surprises me that the great and the good want to all descend on this place. you understand why the richest man in asia obviously has got some influence , obviously has got some influence, impact in the world, i wonder where my invite is, but. >> jenny. yeah, right. >> jenny. yeah, right. >> yeah. where are you ? bless. >> yeah. where are you? bless. >> yeah. where are you? bless. >> you. >> you. >> should be here, i know what can you imagine that laugh. >> get that laugh out of here. >> get that laugh out of here. >> you need you need to sign a bigger, bigger cheque. >> chris, we should just explain . >> chris, we should just explain. sorry. briefly. is the son of india's richest man and a pharmaceutical heiress who are getting married. just to explain a bit of context there, i just don't get why you'd want to go

to someone's wedding who you don't know. >> similar to harry and meghan's wedding invite meghan, of course. i assume invited lots of celebs you'd probably half who'd never met. i mean, a wedding is meant to be like a really personal, intimate. >> well, her situation is slightly different because she was a hollywood person, so she actually. meghan. yeah, so she probably does know the people that she invited. but i have a huge problem. i know that we live in an instagram world, but i think that everybody knows about a wedding and nobody knows any more about a marriage . and i any more about a marriage. and i have a really, really huge problem with that. so everybody cares about what's going to go on, what are we going to wear, what are the flowers, blah, blah, blah. and that's not what it's about. it's a very it's supposed to be a very solemn occasion. and why you would want to go to a wedding. i don't care if elton john is singing. i don't care who's singing. why do i want to go taylor swift, maybe taylor swift if taylor swift sings it your wedding, then yeah, okay, i am going to put on a hat, but i don't understand why they want you and why you want them.

>> so i think these guys, these indian billionaires, they have been having a ceremony of sorts for months and months and months. >> pre—party. >> pre—party. >> yeah , it's been going on. >> yeah, it's been going on. >> yeah, it's been going on. >> i've been seeing photographs for at least six months. >> i think they paid rihanna ten. >> no, $5 million to perform. and i think they paid justin bieber recently in the last couple of weeks, $10 million to perform at one of these parties, which is leading up to the. >> have you ever been to. do you understand? >> i mean, i mean, ultimately, i mean, we do understand it's all about significance. you know, if you are there, you are a significant player on the world stage. and so it's about significance. >> and like you said, you see, and i think less of you. >> like when i look up and i see somebody there who i know they don't know or they're not friends with, i actually think less of them for going. >> i'd rather if i had that much money, i'd rather just stay money, i'd ratherjust stay quiet sort of town hall registration or something. >> but for them, it is this opulent display of their wealth and power , isn't it? and power, isn't it? >> have you been to india, though? >> have you been to india? >> have you been to india? >> yeah. so you know that there is no country in the world that is no country in the world that is more about haves and have

nots than india, and that people can be spending this level of money. i don't care how much money. i don't care how much money they have when there are people sleeping on the streets, children dying, you know, blah blah blah . i worked on it on a blah blah. i worked on it on a charity project. there and i mean, it's just horrific and i understand having a party and celebrating, but i think that i'd love to go to india. >> chris, have you been? >> chris, have you been? >> yes, i have, yeah, i've been to mumbai. really? and exactly what you said there. you can walk out this very opulent building and on the road, people are dying on the streets. yeah yeah. >> okay. should we move on to something very close to my heart? living by the seaside. i grow up. grew up in a seaside town. i still live there. psycho seagull should be illegal. this is in the daily star. so the uk's most aggressive seagulls, dubbed xl bullies, have been mapped out as they continue to terrorise towns by stealing food, shoplifting and even attacking residents. >> but what do you do ? i agree, >> but what do you do? i agree, but what do you do ? but what do you do? >> well, again, see, i think this one, when i look at this

story, obviously you have a raft of seagulls. they can be terrifying and we like to cosset ourselves in society and separate ourselves from nature. nature is red in tooth and claw, so actually what they are experiencing is the reality that while we are in our protected little huts, when you get confronted with nature, you realise how fragile and how open we are to attack and danger things that we don't readily see. >> but these guys will kill you for your chips. >> well, they don't won't kill you. they want your chips. >> well, yeah, but you know, it's not a matter of vicious. >> they really are awful. >> they really are awful. >> i was sat with my wife yesterday having a coffee at a seaside caf right on the shingles, and there were baby seagulls on a roof nearby. >> and these adult seagulls were dive bombing, nicking people's scones and sandwiches and some people, you said, what do you do about it? it made me laugh because there were some older chaps who were throwing pebbles at the seagulls as they dive bombed through the air. i mean, i'm not sure if i advocate that, but, well, also, you know, the seagulls can they they can

evacuate their bowels on flight. >> oh it's got pardon me. sorry to lower the. >> so i'm trying to think back to my wild youth if that if that. no no never that never happened. >> it's good luck isn't it. >> it's good luck isn't it. >> oh yes. >> oh yes. >> oh yes. aberdeen >> oh yes. aberdeen is reportedly home to the country's most ruthless seagulls , most ruthless seagulls, described as another level of psychotic and apparently out for blood. >> oh, no comments please. they want to. do they want to do harm. yeah, well, on the golf course a little seven on sorts things out. >> don't worry about that. >> don't worry about that. >> i was in southend recently and there were actually signs up outside the fish and chip shops and the ice cream shop saying we will not refund you if a seagull steals your your chips because they only have so many people coming back and saying, well, seagull just stole my portion of chips, can i have another one? and it's a business. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> so yeah, you make a good point though. like when we go to the seaside for fish and chips or a coffee by the water, you know, we're in their territory. yes. you know, animals were here first. yes. we've encompassed on

them . them. >> should there be a cull? we've got two views in now from sharon and from greg saying seagulls need culling. >> no, i don't think that . i >> no, i don't think that. i just think it's the reality that you realise that we do share this planet and that we are vulnerable. we are, you know, we are bipeds that walk along and we are vulnerable. and sometimes we are vulnerable. and sometimes we don't recognise that because we don't recognise that because we have crafted this built environment where we feel safe and secure and we belong. >> well, i live on a boat and so i'm surrounded by swans , ducks, i'm surrounded by swans, ducks, coots be pelting rocks at them on a daily basis. no, no, coots be pelting rocks at them on a daily basis . no, no, not at on a daily basis. no, no, not at all. i'm friends with the with the big male swan and he comes and he like it's on the on the boat. >> yeah yeah yeah. oh you are friend and i. >> yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. and i go sit out there like which ones do you think. >> yeah yeah yeah. >> yeah yeah yeah. >> you know but they can be vicious. oh absolutely. >> i was gonna say on the towpath where i live. you can run along the towpath if the swans are there. i very, very, very gently pass them . i don't very gently pass them. i don't run past them just in case i've flustered them and their big old wings. give me a legs up.

>> yeah. >> yeah. >> no, because my, my finger got bitten once. >> oh, yeah. >> oh, yeah. >> i think they hiss, don't they? when they're annoyed, they hiss very, you know , hiss very, you know, terrifyingly, let's move on. should parents. >> are we out of time? >> are we out of time? >> oh, sorry. my. i pieces of time. >> i'm afraid we were having too much fun. >> it has been so much fun. >> it has been so much fun. >> it has been so much fun. >> it always is. good to see you both. thank you so much. >> thanks for having us. >> thanks for having us. >> still to come, we're going to be joined by an olympic gymnast to hear about her experiences ahead of the paris games. chris, we should have spoken to you about that as well. >> yeah. next time, next time. >> yeah. next time, next time. >> but up next, the tale of a dutchman bleached with fathered hundreds potentially thousands of children. it's the story of the day. you don't want to miss it. this is saturday morning live on

>> judith raanan . welcome. >> judith raanan. welcome. >> judith raanan. welcome. >> 1124 ben and ellie with you on saturday morning. live only on saturday morning. live only on gb news. now, have you seen this? netflix has recently

released a shocking new investigative series into the serial sperm donor scandal of jonathan jacob meyer. it's called the man with a thousand kids. >> yeah, it's truly shocking. the 42 year old musician from the netherlands donated sperm en masse, basically an unregulated scale. the conservative estimate is that he's fathered between 550 and 600 children, and there were reports this morning it could be up to 3000. >> so according to the law, one donor can donate his sperm 25 times only. that's the limit. and that's in order to prevent incest or psychological problems incest or psychological problems in children who may learn in later years. they have multiple siblings. >> well, what leads women to work with someone like meyer? well, joining us now is the fertility mentor claire innes. good to see you. this morning, claire. this morning story is bonkers. you must feel exactly the same way. what kind of man would do something like this? >> so, i mean, i can't pretend to absolutely understand it, but

from my understanding, there must be some kind of competitiveness or kind of god complex. in the netflix documentary , they talk about him documentary, they talk about him and other men competing, like actually being in touch , actually being in touch, travelling all over the world and seeing who can get the most donations, who can make the most children, and why is that problematic? >> i mentioned it in the introduction there. i mean, incest is a key thing, but also the psychological aspects for children who may learn later on. they've got hundreds, if not thousands of brothers and sisters. >> they may learn later on that they've got all of these siblings, but they probably won't be able to find them either . so the only person who either. so the only person who actually knows who he's donated to because remember, he was doing it in multiple clinics, multiple countries, but he was also making unofficial donations. >> and that is almost the scariest part of this documentary. claire, i'm sure you'll agree, is the lady i'm thinking of , specifically where thinking of, specifically where he went to her home in order to,

how do we say donate into a dish? yes. but then he said, actually, i think it's best that we can see naturally. yeah. and it's dark, isn't it? >> i think it was really brave of that lady to talk about that and admit it in the documentary. and if this one individual is happy to talk about it, it really makes you question how many women across the world has he done this to? how many women has he preyed on their vulnerability and their absolute longing to have a baby? and they do. sadly, they do get to the point. if you think there's women out there who suffered several miscarriages or they've been dealing with infertility for years, they keep hearing about this biological clock. they do very sadly , get to the they do very sadly, get to the point where they'll try anything awful. >> and it reminds me of is the sex for rent scandal, where you get landlords, male landlords who are finding vulnerable young women who need a place to stay, maybe haven't got enough money. and of course, in exchange for rent, they make them, you know, sleep with the landlord just

preying on their vulnerability, absolutely preying on their vulnerability. >> it's unsafe. it's absolutely as you say, it's bonkers. and getting back to your earlier question, ben, there is obviously the risk of incest, but there's a very real phenomena called genetic sexual attraction. and it's more commonly known as the luke and leia syndrome. so if you think of like star wars. yeah. so two individuals could meet, they wouldn't know that they're related. but they do feel a connection. but that's because they might be half brother, half sister. and that gets confused for love, you know? and then they fall in love. they can have children and on and on. and on it goes. >> and they'd never know. >> and they'd never know. >> they might never know . >> they might never know. >> they might never know. >> and that's why it's so important that this documentary is now out there. so those parents who may have used this individual as a sperm donor can actually it's horrific as it is. at least you know the clear picture. and you could be quite clear with your children that they will need to go for dna testing with any future partner.

>> absolutely. and the dna testing is key because the other quite frightening part is i think some women will actually be encouraged to work with him off of the back of this. really? yeah, not a lot of women, but as i've mentioned, there are some women who will literally just think, i'll try anything. i will take that risk just to have a baby, and then i'll make sure that the baby knows and that there's testing done, which is just really quite sad . yeah. just really quite sad. yeah. >> does this i mean, when we think of the fertility industry, we think it's all quite clinical. you know , hospitals clinical. you know, hospitals and, you know, procedures and it's safe. but does this story and this documentary expose the darker side of the fertility industry you've got? i think there was facebook groups where women were going on to try and find donors on the dark web and so on. i mean, there is a pretty seedy underbelly. i think it's just scratching the surface, in my opinion. >> and i wouldn't pretend to know a great deal about it ehhen know a great deal about it either. but while i was kind of researching it myself, there's local groups, you know, within

ten miles of me and there's posts from from men saying, i'm to happy donate x amount of times. and if it doesn't work, know that i will ask you to inseminate. naturally, you can say no, but i will ask you. that was a post. this week and a facebook group local to me . and facebook group local to me. and again, that's it's not the dark web. it's out there. >> i mean, anecdotally, i know a lesbian couple that are married trying to conceive with a sperm donor at the moment, and they say they are inundated with messages from men, just random men saying they're happy to come round to the house and to conceive with them naturally , conceive with them naturally, naturally. and you can imagine obviously not going to do it. they're aghast that this is even being offered to them, but they can see how, with the financial strain of going to a clinic every month, some women would get desperate and would invite strangers into their home in order to try and conceive if they've got an individual saying they've got an individual saying the statistics are better if we try, and naturally you're absolutely right, there are women out there. >> well, there have been the

women, the women that's featured, and these are educated women as well. you know, they're not well. they are vulnerable . not well. they are vulnerable. they're speaking to netflix and their second language. they're clever, intelligent women who have just made a decision because they're so desperate to have that baby. >> i am a man. but i have to say, i don't know what is wrong with some men. i mean, it's just it boggles my mind. and also just on the wider issue of fertility, i mean, props to people who are to happy do that. but as me personally, i couldn't imagine a child of mine sort of running riot in the world without running riot , you know without running riot, you know what i mean? like in the world without me there knowing who they are, how they're getting on. absolutely. let alone up to 3000, you know, and then what are their children doing? >> what are their children doing? but it's all over the world. so kenya , australia, and world. so kenya, australia, and obviously the netherlands , obviously the netherlands, that's the three kind of big places that were mentioned in in netflix. >> claire. but almost out of time with you, but just for anyone watching who is looking to conceive, who is looking into into sperm donation, what would

your message be? >> if you can please, please, please use regulated licensed clinics . if please use regulated licensed clinics. if you please use regulated licensed clinics . if you can't please use regulated licensed clinics. if you can't use clinics, speak to people. try and find out if there's someone you know and trust who would be willing to do that. if you must go anonymous , make sure that go anonymous, make sure that you're testing for genetic diseases. infectious diseases. keep yourself safe. there are women in the world right now with hiv that's been caught through donor sperm. >> okay. great advice . and you >> okay. great advice. and you know the bizarre, staggering story. thank you . fairness. story. thank you. fairness. >> thank you for having me highlight it as well claire. always to good see you. thank you. pleasure indeed. lots more to come on the show today. but first let's get some news headlines. now with sophia wenzler. >> ali thank you from the gb newsroom at 1132. your headlines . newsroom at 1132. your headlines. a 34 year old man has been arrested in connection with the

he's had this case hanging over his head for the last three years since the unfortunate shooting of halyna hutchins dunng shooting of halyna hutchins during the recording of their film, rust , during the recording of their film, rust, but during the recording of their film, rust , but now during the recording of their film, rust, but now he's during the recording of their film, rust , but now he's been film, rust, but now he's been cleared in court because there was a key piece of evidence that was a key piece of evidence that was withheld. so basically, the live ammunition, the bullets they were handed in to a police office a few months ago , and office a few months ago, and they didn't include it in this trial. and that was a key evidence. that's one of the key things people have been talking about. this case. how did the live ammunition, ammunition get on set for this? so the judge was saying, there's no way we can right this wrong, because basically it would have been a trial with prejudice. >> so if anyone doesn't isn't aware or doesn't know . so they aware or doesn't know. so they were filming this movie. yeah. alec baldwin shot a prop gun. well, it was a gun thinking it was a blank bullet or bullet. and it was a live round. it was a live round. cinematographer. >> the armourer, hannah reid gutierrez. she's already been sentenced for involuntary manslaughter. manslaughter, which alec baldwin was also

going to face. he was facing potentially 18 months in prison. so as you can see from time, it is a lot of time when it comes to celebrities and court cases. you always think, will they do this time? but this was the second time alec had gone back to court with this case, because the family of halyna hutchins, of course , they've lost the of course, they've lost the mother, they've lost the wife . mother, they've lost the wife. alec baldwin has always said he did not pull that trigger , but did not pull that trigger, but unfortunately, she did die from a gunshot wound . a gunshot wound. >> well, the case was dramatically thrown out yesterday in the us. and this is the moment alec baldwin sobbed in the courtroom. >> the sanction of dismissal is the only warranted remedy. the jury the only warranted remedy. the jury has been sworn. jeopardy has attached, and a mistrial would not be based upon manifest necessity. further, the sanction of dismissal is warranted in this case. >> well, i don't think i've seen alec baldwin show such emotions because clearly he's usually a quite, you know, tough guy. hollywood tough man. but the only thing is now he's been cleared. but what does that mean for his career? whether

audiences at home are still going to feel comfortable watching him on screen , whether watching him on screen, whether hollywood, the industry itself is still going to work with him , is still going to work with him, that's yet to be seen. and this is something that's always going to follow him, i think, for the rest of his career. unfortunately >> okay, moving on back to this side of the pond. yeah, simon cowell up to simon cowell. >> you know, we used to see him with x factor all these audition shows. he's now working on a netflix documentary called the midas touch, where he's looking for a new boy band. obviously, he had success with one direction, who are no longer. and he's like, in the uk there is not enough boy band and boy band talent. so he's on this quest to find a new boy bands. the auditions took place in liverpool last week and only about 40 people came up. so 40, 40 people, about 40 people turned up for the auditions, which wasn't that great for simon. so now he's opening up the audition process to transgender men. so potentially we could be seeing the uk's first transgender male boy band, which will be quite interesting. obviously, simon cowell is

always looking for a gap in the market. we don't have no transgender men boy bands, so it'll be interesting to see if he does actually land on a potential transgender boy band. i think with simon cowell he always likes to be progressive in that sense, but i don't know how that will feel to men as cisgender men who might want to go for it. >> and so what? cisgender men? that's biological. >> yeah, biological men. yeah. >> yeah, biological men. yeah. >> okay. yeah. i mean, 40 people at the audition, 40 people. >> so that's why he's had to openit >> so that's why he's had to open it up. but i think as well, a lot of acts are clued up now because to be honest, you can become you can't. not everyone can have the success one direction had, you know, so these people who go on reality shows, it's kind of in and out. so maybe clued up direction. me too. same here. >> oh, really? >> oh, really? >> oh, really? >> oh, it wasn't very cool when i was a harry styles fan of harry styles. i used to love zayn malik. yeah, yeah. harry and zayn. i think harry is probably the most talented out. >> yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. >> yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. >> harry styles came out to shania twain last night and i

was surprised about that. >> actually, he kept that under wraps, but that collab, i wish he came out at glastonbury. that would have been nice for shania. >> now that would have been very, very good. but anyway, better late than never. >> yeah, >> yeah, >> speaking of which , 18 years >> speaking of which, 18 years on from the original devil wears prada, it's getting a reboot. >> a sequel, you know, when it came out in 2006, the devil wears prada, the cast was amazing . meryl streep, emily amazing. meryl streep, emily blunt and anne hathaway. so this week there's been reports that disney are working on a sequel, which will follow up the 2006 one. and apparently it's going to be looking at how the magazine landscape is now where, you know, magazines are dying out. we're working with lots of influencers. so meryl streep's character is going to find herself in a tough position and trying to survive in a very hard industry. and we're hoping all the characters sign on, including anne hathaway. >> do you think they will? >> do you think they will? >> i think they will, because i think the film was so successful, it made most of their careers. emily blunt said it was the most life changing

moment for her starring in that movie, and i think there will be a demand for a sequel, because i think if you get other casts, like if you don't get meryl, if you don't get emily blunt or anne hathaway, i don't think they'll be able to pull it off because meryl done such a great job, all of them together. so i think it'll be hard to pull it off without them. >> i wonder if the industry is, but i love i love to sound exciting. i love the film, i love the original film. but i'm just wondering whether the industry these days would be akin to what it was back then. has it gone all woke? because, i mean, i used to work in newspapers. yeah. and it was a very different environment. >> it was i mean, fleet street used to be ruthless back in the day , you know, you'd be shouted day, you know, you'd be shouted at and sent out the door for making one mistake. >> but these days, you can't really do that. >> well, i think that's what will make the film interesting, because it's such a different climate now where in terms of there is a lot of things that managers and bosses need to be careful of. so i think miranda's character will have a bit of a watering down, but i think she's she's a tough cookie, so she might still press on. right? >> looking forward to that. >> looking forward to that.

thousand kids, which is this netflix documentary about a serial sperm donor could have the generous estimate is 3000 children around the globe, awful story. john says it's a shame the adoption of young ones is not promoted more. there are so many youngsters that need loving adults to guide them. sadly, a lot of them were covered with baggage , but they deserve their help. >> really good point. >> really good point. >> that is a fantastic point john. >> i would love to adopt. >> i would love to adopt. >> would you? >> would you? >> one of my favourite programs at the moment on telly apart from gb news is, is it called long lost families? yes. where davina mccall. and who's the other chap? the beeb guy. they basically they, they, they get in touch with some geniality companies. they trace missing, you know, adopted kids or long lost siblings. i cry every time. do you. every time. >> oh that's lovely. >> oh that's lovely. >> the last episode i think on was it friday night? thursday night, a two siblings in care. brother and a sister. yeah. they were split up and the sister knew she had a younger brother,

but the brother was so young he didn't wasn't aware they had a sister and they were reunited and it was all teary and oh, it was amazing. it's lovely, isn't it? so yeah. adoption. great idea. >> no, really. good point john. thank you so much. do you keep those views coming in? coming up at midday is dawn neesom and she joins us in the studio now. good to see you, dawn . to see you, dawn. >> not warning that i was going to be joining you in the studio now sitting on this sofa, which ihave now sitting on this sofa, which i have quite clearly, perfectly, neatly dressed up, camouflage blending into the background so you can't see me loads coming up on your show. >> of course, i assume we're going to be touching on a little match tomorrow. >> is there something going on? i think there might be something. >> maybe in berlin sunday league match or something like that. >> i'm not sure. >>— >> i'm not sure. >> yeah, yeah, obviously we're talking about football, we are also talking about why there's a distinct lack of flags flying in many of our big cities. >> yes, that's true, certainly in london, we've still got the pride flags flying in regent street and oxford street. >> and have they not put up the saint george's flag at all? >> not yet. no. >> not yet. no. >> we're waiting for them. and you would have thought they'd

done sort of considering the boost to the economy that this game is going to give us. and i think we're drinking sort of like, you know, sort of like £4.8 million worth of, well, it's booze in pubs that's just me. >> yeah, it's getting a bit late in the day to put up the flags, but we've got live pictures now of england's training and preparing in germany. all smiles. looks like there's a good vibe. >> very relaxed, i must say. how do you think of it? what do you think about this, dawn? do you think about this, dawn? do you think they're looking stressed or. i think, look at southgate. he's very relaxed. >> i think they look very relaxed. >> and i think you know, you know we haven't played brilliantly i think i don't think it's been a great tournament for football in general, to be honest with you. but we've got luck on our side or we did against holland . or we did against holland. >> so do you think we deserve luck, though, after all these years ? we've had so much bad years? we've had so much bad luck over the years. it's time now for us to have some good luck. >> i think i would like us to do it because i think people are sick and tired of talking about 1966, to be honest with you, it's been 58 years now. so one of the interesting debates we'll be having later on is if you've

got little kids and i know ben, you have should you allow children to stay up and watch the game on sunday night? >> oh, it's an 8:00 kick—off. >> oh, it's an 8:00 kick—off. >> it's not too late . but, >> it's not too late. but, i mean, it could be a 10 pm. finish. >> yeah. my kids go to bed about half 6 or 7. i mean, jude, my four year old could stay up if he wants to, but i mean, he loves football, but i just think he'd probably get too tired. >> yeah, i've noticed already primary schools emailing the parents and saying, look, whatever happens sunday night, you can come in from 10:00, no questions asked. i think that's quite nice. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> no, i think children should be allowed to stay up lots of stickies coming monday morning as well. >> oh, definitely. thank you guys for joining us >> oh, definitely. thank you guys forjoining us back home. have a fantastic weekend. and the lovely dawn is . next. the lovely dawn is. next. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . solar sponsors of weather on. gb. news >> hello there. welcome to your gb news. weather forecast provided by the met office . provided by the met office. quite a mixed picture on the cards in terms of our weather this weekend. disappointing for

some of us, but a few brighter spells possible, particularly further towards the west where we do have high pressure keeping things a touch more settled. but for those in the east it is low pressure in the north sea that is providing more unsettled conditions. a lot of cloud coming in with this outbreaks of rain and drizzle, a very dull, damp and dreary saturday for many of us here. those brighter spells possible further towards the west. but sunshine still really at a premium for many of us. and that is going to factor in with the temperatures. very disappointing. 1314 c for some of us is well below where we'd normally expect to be for the middle of july. might just scrape 19 or 20 degrees across areas of the south and southwest. that area of cloud and rain is going to be quite persistent. eastern areas of scotland very cloudy throughout saturday, but further towards the highlands, parts of argyll and bute again seeing the best of some of that sunshine in there. a few showers possible with those bright spells for northern ireland. they could be on the sharp side around at times and as well a few showers also possible for wales, parts of southern england. perhaps the odd rumble of thunder around in

there as well, though showers tending to ease off as we head into this evening and overnight. and actually for southern areas of wales and england, the cloud will break up a bit more as well. a few mist and fog patches possible here, but it is going to remain very cloudy, damp and soggy for northern areas of england. southern scotland, with that rain really persisting, turning heavy at times. maybe some localised flooding issues in 1 or 2 places. that cloud, though, will help hold the temperatures up. most of us in double digit figures overnight might just drop into single figures in some rural spots. underneath those clearer skies in the south. and it is here that we'll have the best of the sunshine first thing on sunday. not too bad of a start before some of that cloud builds in again, and not too bad in the way of sunshine as well. for parts of central scotland. again, that sort of argyll and bute highlands area, but the central swathe of the uk is going to see persistent cloud and rain throughout all of sunday as well. disappointing once again. unfortunately, by. >> looks like things are heating up boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb

>> well . >> well. >> well. >> hello and welcome to gb news saturday. hope you're having a wonderful weekend then. it's a big one as well, isn't it? i'm dawn neesom, and for the next three hours, i'll be keeping you company on telly, online and on digital radio. keeping you up to date on the stories that really matter to you. we've got a cracking, really packed show coming up , so cracking, really packed show coming up, so you don't want to go anywhere, right. starting off with early releases under labour as prison overcrowding is blamed for drastic measures, the justice secretary has announced that some prisoners, including violent ones which they said wouldn't happen, could be released after serving just 40% of their sentence. are britain's streets about to become even more unsafe and royal return with the news that the princess of wales will be returning to wimbledon for the final. and as america has once seemingly gone quiet on harry and meghan , are quiet on harry and meghan, are we seeing a role? revival in
