extraordinary step and actually we mentioned it with eamonn in the handover and isabel at breakfast. melania trump's statement, i thought was amazing and i'm not sure if she wrote it personally. we assume she did, but just the wording of it, the call for unification, the description and the plea that an understanding that these politicians like donald trump, joe biden, whoever keir starmer rishi sunak you know, they've got a political identity which a lot of people buy into and then forget there's a human being behind the scenes. there's a family man. exactly. there's someone who loves their music, who likes enjoying the things that you do at home. bike rides, walks in the countryside, >> i'm looking for melania trump's statement. we'll bring that for you. exactly what she said, >> i've got it here. you want me to read it a quick expert? >> oh, that'd be marvellous, ben. how very organised of you. well done. >> i found it particularly touching. she said. a monster who recognised my husband as an inhuman political machine attempted to wring out donald's passion. his laughter , love of passion. his laughter, love of music, inspiration, donald, the generous and caring man who i've

been with through the best of times and the worst of times, were buried below the political machine. and then she goes to which, and this is the key part, and i think we can all take heed of this, she says this morning, ascend above the hate, the vitriol, and the simple minded ideas that ignite violence. we all want a world where respect is paramount , family is first, is paramount, family is first, and love transcends the winds of change. have arrived. >> we're going to dig into this story obviously this morning, particularly about i'm interested in who the shooter was. 20 year old, so huge questions about who that person was had apparently been a member of the republican party , but had of the republican party, but had also donated money to the democrats at some point. so who was that person? and also massive questions to be asked about the failings of the security services. there's some the thing is, in 2024, when something like this happens and everyone has a mobile phone, you have this event from every single angle with time codes of what was happening, when and who was saying what. and there is somebody put together a brilliant edit and i'm going to i'll retweet it on my own, app.

bev turner bev turner on twitter. but of the timings of the fact that donald trump is talking and there are people trying to shout about the guy on the roof and they're shouting, there's somebody up there with a gun, and the police and the special services don't do anything about it. >> and it's not seconds, is it? >> and it's not seconds, is it? >> it's minutes, minutes, minutes. about about four minutes. about about four minutes. so why what was going on? how was the security so bad, trump's team and his, his security services had been asking biden's, you know , asking biden's, you know, they've been asking the president, the sitting president, the sitting president, could they have more security to keep donald trump safe and been repeatedly told ho. 110. >> no. >> so and the other point, maybe we shouldn't bring it up if we want to focus on unification. but, you know, the mainstream media has literally been calling donald trump hitler for the past couple of years. you know, a nazi. even david lammy are now foreign secretary called him a kkk nazi sympathiser. so you know, are there questions about the language? yes. grants are on both sides of the debate, but absolutely. >> yeah. let us know your

thoughts this morning. gbnews.com/yoursay now go on, ben, talk about the football because of course it was so disappointing. >> it was it was a shame. it was heartbreak of course, for england last night as they lost out to spain in the finals of euro 2024 and 86th minute winner from spain, dashed the hopes of the three lions as the pain of not winning a major tournament since 1966. can you believe it continues? so how much more can we take? >> well, the only thing coming home today is gb news reporter jack carson, who is in berlin. jack, what is the very latest, what was it like last night? first of all, there in berlin, i mean, it was a fantastic atmosphere. >> i mean, all day throughout, you know, throughout berlin, you'd got the england fans that were along the river in berlin, you know, they'd they'd managed to find every kind of irish bar to find every kind of irish bar to have a pint of guinness in the city, i think. and they were just, you know, flags adorned over the bridges, the anticipation, the excitement had built up all day. and of course, you know, you go into the fan zone as we did, you know, for the first half and there was

just a sense of, the first half and there was just a sense of , okay, the first half and there was just a sense of, okay, this isn't maybe as well as we thought we might play you know, we've seen how well we'd progressed through the tournament, how we'd started to play tournament, how we'd started to play a little bit better, but we all kind of hope for a bit of a better performance. but gareth southgate, you know, summed it up quite honestly after the game, didn't he said we just didn't keep the ball well enough. you can't chase around span. you know that spain team who are passing it left to right so quickly and through you so easily , you know, and chase them easily, you know, and chase them for the full game, you know, without facing the consequences you know. and they did manage to open us up, you know, on those occasions. and they were just more clinical than us on those chances. of course, you know, there is this speculation now on on gareth southgate as to what happens next. he'd been asked about his future during the tournament and he kind of cast it aside and said that he was too emotionally involved. you know, with the three lions and the euros and the and their tournament so far at that point. but of course, now he's got the time, you know, and the weeks and the months to, to reflect on on what's next for him, what maybe the fa feel is the right way forward. he's been england

manager for eight years. he's been the most successful england manager, you know, since 1966. but has it all been a little bit too much in this tournament. is this is this excessive . you know this is this excessive. you know european championship final defeat just a bit too much for him. >> thank you. jack, you've had a great run. good work. but we'll see you in the office shortly on your flight home. >> right. joining us now is former england footballer danny mills. good morning danny . mills. good morning danny. hello. thanks for joining mills. good morning danny. hello. thanks forjoining us. so your reflections on last night, why did we lose it? yeah, i think similar to what we already heard from many people, i think we were beaten by a better team . we were beaten by a better team. >> spain had been superb throughout the tournament and played better than us. were slightly better than us last night . and when it came down to night. and when it came down to it, danny, you're too just quiet, i'm afraid, >> yeah, we'll try and get danny back with some better audio. the big question this morning is in the post—mortem of this game is there was an article in the times suggesting, well, asking the question, should gareth

southgate be knighted? apparently there's talks that he will, regardless of not winning the tournament, will we'll receive a knighthood. >> does he carry on now to the next euros i think. didn't he say he would. he would resign if they didn't win, didn't he? yeah. >> i think the consensus is he'll he'll resign the next big tournament is the world cup in the usa in two years. >> okay. >> okay. >> which would be good. >> which would be good. >> okay. right. we're going to look at your messages while we take a quick break. but still to come as america and the world reels from the attempted assassination attempt on president trump, going to have the latest from the us.

gb news. >> hello. welcome back. 945 ben and bev with you on britain's newsroom. only on gb news now. former us president donald trump has spoken out after yesterday's attempted assassination on his life. >> writing on his truth social media platform , trump vowed evil media platform, trump vowed evil will not prevail as he called for unity, claiming god alone saved his life.

>> joe biden, the us president, also urged for america to, quote, lower the temperature after the trump shooting. >> disagreement is inevitable when american democracy, it's part of human nature. but politics must never be a literal battlefield or god forbid, a killing field . i believe killing field. i believe politics ought to be an arena for peaceful debate, to pursue justice, to make decisions guided by the declaration of independence and our constitution, we stand for an america not of extremism and fury , but of decency and grace. fury, but of decency and grace. >> i was just saying to bev dunng >> i was just saying to bev during that, i mean, he's he's a fine one to talk. it was only a week ago. he was talking about putting donald trump in a bullseye. >> yeah. he literally said, we've got to time. time is right to put him in the bullseye. reacting to the attack, former first lady melania trump released this statement. she said, a monster who recognised my husband as an inhuman political machine attempted to wring out. >> donald's passion, his laughter, ingenuity, love of music and inspiration. >> this morning, she said,

ascend above the hate, the vitriol and the simple minded ideas that ignite violence. >> and she went on, we all want a world where respect is paramount, family is first, and love transcends. >> well. joining us now for more on that. is the news, actually, that the king has written to donald trump is cameron walker. royal correspondent is with us. what do we know about those communications between them? >> yes, buckingham palace has confirmed that the king has written privately to the former president. the message was delivered via the uk embassy in washington, dc. now, although the details are remaining private, i do understand that the sentiment has been described are very similar to what prime minister keir starmer said to donald trump, so he condemns violence, expressed his condolences for the victims and their families of the others killed during the assassination attempt, and wished the former president and those injured a quick recovery. now, although buckingham palace says it's remaining private, will donald trump decide to disclose what's the king has told him? we'll have to perhaps wait and see.

but of course, i think it was clearly an incredibly shocking instance. but the king is not the first monarch to have expressed to reacted to this. the king of spain wrote a very heartfelt statement. pretty soon after the attack, actually, where it was very similar, talking about kind of democracy being attacked and condemning the violence as well. so the king a little on the back foot here. but of course, i think buckingham palace takes things slowly when it comes to this. and of course, it was a private message. do you think the king would have had to have got permission from the labour government, sir keir starmer, david lammy, perhaps before doing this? yeah, yeah, i think everything would have gone through the foreign office and it would have very much been toeing the government line with something like this. this is kind of the power of soft diplomacy in action, really. i think it's very interesting how i understand that it is very similar to what the prime minister had told the president. he wouldn't go out on the whim. it would all be very carefully worded, in consultation with david lammy, foreign secretary, and the prime minister, keir

starmer. and of course delivered via the embassy as well in washington. all very official. >> okay, can we just reflect a little bit on the appearance of the princess of wales yesterday? yes. let's have some happy news. >> we will wearing a very similar coloured dress to yourself, bev. actually, yeah . yourself, bev. actually, yeah. not deliberate. yeah. i mean it was a £1,200 dress, but of course the story is , the story course the story is, the story is that of course , is only the is that of course, is only the second public appearance since the princess's cancer diagnosis. the crowd's reaction when she entered centre court and just erupted into applause. a huge standing ovation for her. and i looked at princess charlotte actually during that moment, and her sister pippa matthews used to be pippa middleton, of course, and the admiration they had for the princess of wales was, i think , really, really was, i think, really, really beautiful moments really. and the princess carrying out her duties, patron of wimbledon, of course, handing the trophy over to the winner. so a very special moment for her and she must be feeling so emotional. >> the princess of wales, so much of the time, she she held it together really well there. you think she might have got a

little tear in her eye when you welcomed with that sort of warmth, wouldn't you? >> i think she looked amazing. i think she looked. i think she looked great at trooping the colour. but i think yesterday particularly she looked glowing and beautiful. yeah. >> and i think it's a very positive sign to come because i think, as you say, she did look glowing. i think she got rid of the nerves, as perhaps she had in trooping for the first public appearance. tennis is something appearance. tennis is something a huge passion of hers and princess charlotte as well. so i think it's a very positive sign as we get towards the summer, maybe a little bit more rest and recovery, and then maybe in the autumn we'll see her. but kensington palace not putting a time frame on it. >> yeah. okay. cameron walker, royal correspondent. thank you very much. let's speak now to steve gill, who's the former adviser to the clinton and bush administrations in the us. good morning steve. thank you for joining us. this morning. can i ask you, please? it kind of feels like not only did donald trump dodge a bullet, but the world and the us dodged a bullet because if the worst had happened and he was killed over the weekend, could you foresee, like , maybe i can or could have like, maybe i can or could have a situation where you had literal civil war, you had republicans and the maga group, the antifa on the left side

going to the streets and settling this in violence , perhaps. >> yeah, i think despite the fact that literally a thumb's width was the difference in donald trump, you know, having a narrow escape and being killed, you didn't see republicans marching into the streets , marching into the streets, burning and looting the way we see so often in these in these moments of passion. so i don't think we are close to a armed civil war. but i do think it's interesting that when joe biden went and spoke last night again from the oval office, he gave a prepared speech by teleprompter and it was recorded . and even and it was recorded. and even though he had several mumbles and stumbles and referred to the bullet box instead of the ballot box as a way to handle things, that was the best they could do. they taped this, and he still couldn't get through a speech. but more importantly, in his speech about unity and lowering the temperature, he didn't actually take any action. he just, you know, mumbled words. he didn't extend secret service protection to rfk jr for example. he didn't announce that they're going to extend more

protection to donald trump. he didn't fire the head of the secret service. so it was all words, but no actual action. >> steve, obviously, all of the rhetoric around trump in the last 12 months to two years has been this idea that there is a kind of a deep state ambition to stop him standing with all of the legal cases and all of the felonies that he's been accused of. and this very much now plays into that narrative , doesn't it, into that narrative, doesn't it, that this we have no evidence of that, but that this could have been an attempt just to take him off the planet , never, never off the planet, never, never mind the ballot for november. but that will only surely galvanise his base to support him more . him more. >> you know, i think that's an exactly great point, you know, you have again, the president announcing last night that he wants to lower the temperature. if he really wants to lower the temperature, then announce that the department of justice is no longer going to pursue these bogus, corrupt judge, you know , bogus, corrupt judge, you know, partisan da cases against donald

trump. they're going to get thrown out on appeal. they are horrible cases legally and factually. if he really wants to lower the temperature, then stop the partisan warfare against donald trump, you know , he tried donald trump, you know, he tried to remove him from the ballot. and then some of the reaction to this assassination attempt from the left has been, you know , the left has been, you know, bemoaning the fact that that they missed one of the staffers of a member of congress said , we of a member of congress said, we need to make america aim better, making fun of the maga comment. it is disgusting how the left has actually responded to this. and trump, you know, is taking it in stride. but biden didn't condemn that last night either. >> yeah , we had it this side of >> yeah, we had it this side of the pond too, steve. some, you know, leftist extremists with similar comments on twitter. also, new york mayor eric adams, one of his staffers, said something similar about shame he missed. look, just very briefly, as you were a former adviser to clinton and bush, what would your advice now be to if you were giving it to trump's campaign ? campaign? >> you know, i think he's handled everything perfectly for the last 10 or 15 days. while the last 10 or 15 days. while the democrats have been fighting

over whether biden should stay as their nominee or as president, he has been silent. if the other side , politically if the other side, politically here or in in great britain, is eating their own, just sit back and let them do it. don't get involved in the fray. and i think he's handled that well. and i think you're going to see at the convention that starts tonight, a very subdued republican party. >> okay. thank you steve. steve gill there from the us now still to come, the aftermath of the euros finals as the 58 years of hurt continues , can we also hurt continues, can we also mention the fact that obviously the women did win the euros? it's remiss of us not to remind you of that. don't go anywhere. here's your weather. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello there. good morning. this is your gb news. weather updates provided by the met office. a new week often gives you the chance to start afresh . you the chance to start afresh. unfortunately, the weather hasn't quite caught the memo stuck in the same pattern. i'm afraid. we've got another area of low pressure quickly moving

its way into southwestern areas. today this is going to be bringing some very heavy rainfall, thundery, torrential downpours are possible and as a result there is a rain warning in force for south—west england and wales. certainly some localised flooding and travel disruption is possible. so take care. some of that rain is pushing into southeastern areas of england as well, but the northern half of the uk faring better today with some sunny spells and temperatures. responding to that, 20 to 21 c here. so feeling a bit more pleasant and warm. but as we head towards that evening rush hour period, please do again. take care. because that area of heavy rain will be moving its way into wales, parts of the midlands as well. certainly something to watch out for before you head home later on. the sunshine across northern ireland, northern england just turning a bit hazier into the afternoon with a cloud around but generally a few showers across scotland to watch for. but many of us staying dry here, and certainly the highlands getting off with a decent amount of sunshine still later on in the evening. just that cloud lingering across the northern isles to make it a bit duller and drizzly. here the area of rain will slowly push its way northwards, but in some ways

gnnd northwards, but in some ways grind to a halt across parts of north wales into northern england, over towards yorkshire and the humber as well. so some further downpours possible here dunng further downpours possible here during the overnight period, with all the cloud, though, it is going to be quite a mild night. generally temperatures holding around 13 to 15 c. that rain will just still be lingering around first thing on tuesday, gradually pushing its way off towards the north sea. and behind that we will start to see some sunny spells and showers developing. some of those showers again could be quite heavy with the risk of further thunderstorms in there, particularly across eastern portions of england and up towards scotland. as well. temperatures tomorrow ranging between 18 and 23 c. wednesday looks like it could be a slightly drier day for many of us, but there is further rain that will be quickly moving in from the west by that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on

sympathiserjust calling somebody a nazi or a kkk sympathiser just because they want to enforce border controls, you know, ideas that 15 years ago were common sense policies. yeah. >> you know, when that this news broke at the weekend about donald trump, i just for a moment i thought, wow , we really moment i thought, wow, we really do need him. i had this moment of thinking we do need him. and i can distinguish between him as an individual. he's probably not an individual. he's probably not an ideal man, is he? i mean, in many ways he has some issues i find a little bit sickening. but in terms of political politics, i think we need him. we need a man who's prepared to push back, and maybe he'll tone that down. >> now he's rewritten his speech at the republican for convention tomorrow. he scrapped it. it was going to attack joe biden . he's going to attack joe biden. he's now toned it down, he said. but anyway, it's been a bit of a grim weekend. the sun's out. it's going to be a great action packed show. ray addison has your. packed show. ray addison has your . news. your. news. >> thanks, guys. good morning. 10:02, our top stories the king has written to donald trump following an assassination attempt in pennsylvania on

crossbow murders last week. it's been a bit of a grim couple of days, but news all round, as far as i'm aware. the sun. it was out this morning when i came into the studio. so a bit of positivity. it's going to be a good summer, right? >> heartbreak for england, of course. last night they lost out to spain in the euros 2024 final. yes, of course, it was that 86th minute goal that dashed the three lions hopes. >> and while football may not be coming home this time around, the team still managed to do us proud. >> both manager gareth southgate's contract running out at the end of the year. is it time for him to step aside? here's what he had to say after the match. >> we're proud of the group of players, they couldn't have given me any more. they couldn't have given the country any more. so, ultimately we lost to the better side. and, we have to reflect on, you know, how that happened. but it's very clear in my mind the game , we, as i said, my mind the game, we, as i said, for me, the key was possession of the ball tonight. and we didn't have enough control.

>> gb news reporterjack carson is live in berlin. jack, there's calls this morning for gareth southgate to be knighted. can you believe it ? despite not you believe it? despite not winning the tournament, are the fans talking about that kind of thing on the ground over there ? thing on the ground over there? >> well, i think i think before this tournament, you know, there had been calls for it when we got to the final back in 2021, hadnt got to the final back in 2021, hadn't there, of how successful he you know, he's been as england manager. i think maybe the nature of this tournament, the nature of this tournament, the criticisms that he's had throughout this tournament mean maybe those calls aren't aren't as reflective , aren't as as reflective, aren't as reflected over here. maybe i think on the whole, you know , in think on the whole, you know, in time, when we look back, this has been such a successful penod has been such a successful period for england. you know, we'd gone from, i think after, you know, from losing to iceland in 2016, in that, in that euros, you know, we didn't really know where to look. and gareth southgate is completely, you know, with the, with the players and the quality of the players that have come through in the last few years, been able to utilise those players to make us, you know, the most successful team in recent times.

but of course success ultimately comes from, from what you win at the end of the day. and southgate, you know, has got to successive european championship finals now. it's still not been able to get us over. the line had changed. maybe you know a different things in the final had brought on ollie watkins earlier throughout the tournament he'd been criticised , tournament he'd been criticised, of course, for not bringing on the substitutes earlier enough. he'd made those changes earlier, you know, and that that had got a positive impact on the game. cole palmer, of course, had had had got you know, a positive impact on the game, you know, equalising for us. but england didn't really look like the team that they'd grown to be throughout the tournament. they didn't look like the team that we'd seen. you know, at times against the netherlands, where we looked really good. but, you know, here at in berlin we're of course, they're already starting to take down the stadium here. as you can see, you know, the england team are heading home and heading home with a with a losers medal. you know, in terms of the group of players, you know ollie watkins has been you know ollie watkins has been you know clear about how much you know clear about how much you know southgate's been a help for him. how much of a close knit

squad the togetherness they're feeling. you know harry kane talks about after the game. you know particularly around the way that these players wanted to do this for gareth southgate and that he deserved it as much as of course all the england fans back home. luke shaw apologised to the fans back home in his post—match press conference as well. so there's certainly now time. you know gareth southgate's contract isn't up until december. i'm sure that him and the fa will have conversations over the next few months, but it is still unclear what is next for england's manager. >> okay. all right . thank you. >> okay. all right. thank you. jack jack carson, can i just ask you a question ? how have you you a question? how have you enjoyed being out there this week ? has it been brilliant when week? has it been brilliant when you've not been talking to gb news on the telly? >> it's honestly it's been the best experience of my life. and obviously, you know, we've not got into any games and i've not had tickets for any games, but genuinely for these kind of tournaments, you don't need to because the day, you know, all throughout the day, you know , throughout the day, you know, yesterday in dusseldorf, in dortmund, the atmosphere is so special. the atmosphere is so much fun , yeah. it's been a

much fun, yeah. it's been a fantastic experience. fantastic weather. i've got a nice tan, so it's been a good week . it's been a good week. >> thank you jade done a great job. right. football broadcaster chris skudder also joins us. are you in berlin as well, chris i am, yeah, not far from jack, actually. >> just trying to get my voice back from last night. it was, so, so disappointing, trust me. and, enormous amount of england fans, they outnumbered the spanish in berlin by about 10 to 1. it was almost the opposite of what we had in, the semi—final, when the dutch outnumbered the english. but, you know, we're such a patriotic nation when it comes to our football. it's an obsession, a dream to finally win something. and the it's to concede that goal so late on, when the game seemed to be going back in england's favour, was was absolutely gutting . trust was absolutely gutting. trust me, it was the scenes when we scored, i was in the huge fan zone, which was nearly all engush zone, which was nearly all english with a few spanish. it was extraordinary beer bodies flying everywhere. we all thought it was coming home at

that moment . and then, that moment. and then, unfortunately, a pattern that's developed under the southgate tenure, sitting back , really, tenure, sitting back, really, not going for the kill. it happenedin not going for the kill. it happened in the final against italy. it happened in the semi—final against croatia in the world cup in 2018. and that is why people are not happy today. and that is why i believe that gareth southgate will not be staying on. >> yeah, chris, i've said it for many years after particularly the euro 2020 final against italy, you go one up, you park the bus. the mentality is completely negative, but just on a slightly different aspect of all this, chris, there's lots of people moaning over the past week or so saying, you know, why are you talking about football so much? who cares? it's a bunch of men, you know, chasing a bag of men, you know, chasing a bag of wind around. i don't need explaining why sport moves people so much, but what is it about sports and football in particular on this occasion that gets people so excited, so passionate and really touches us? >> well, it's part of our dna, isn't it? i mean , you know, isn't it? i mean, you know, england is the sporting nation of the world really . we invented of the world really. we invented the game in the modern rules

version of all these sports. and, you know, it gets you in the gut, doesn't it? that's exactly what it is. and to be here last night, the anticipation of, people are very patriotic and sport is an outlet for that. it really is. and people want to be successful. they have, you know, sometimes they have lives that, you know, they have lives that, you know, they get through it and they live for the weekend. the saturday afternoon to following the national team. and, you know , the national team. and, you know, last night was, it was it was tremendous. i mean, it really was a real experience. i like jack, was it was in the fan zone because so many people can't go to the games. the prices are very high. £2,000 to get into the game. last night. people aren't going to pay that, but they can be in the town. they can be everywhere, they can be together. and that sense of belief is palpable. but you know, small margins and, you know, small margins and, you know , winning and losing can be know, winning and losing can be it was the width of a knee last night that could have been offside, that goal. but it wasn't. spain were the better team, without a doubt. but as i said to you, i think bev a few

days ago. yeah, there's , you days ago. yeah, there's, you know, i always felt football's very reactionary. it really is, it's a results business. if you don't win, watch out . and that's don't win, watch out. and that's what we've got this morning in england. didn't play well through the tournament. and people were saying, it doesn't matter if we win, i can guarantee you. if england had got over the line last night, jamie lee by luck, would have been having a very different conversation. but they lost the game and you can see the look on the prince of wales face there. that it's when you lose, you have questions to answer and that's where gareth southgate is. england have not played well in this tournament and, you know, i think there'll be a lot of soul searching today. >> okay chris thank you so much. chris skudder there. well done. thanks chris. you know what i loved about last night again? i think maybe because it's a sunday evening and it was such a lovely warm day as well. it was so sociable. it was an excuse, wasn't it, for people to get together. we shouldn't need an excuse. but i went round to my mate annie's house. yeah, annie

and dave. and then we did some burgers and a bit of salad, and the kids were all sat on the sofa with us going, put your phones down, put your phones down, put your phones down. when we're trying to get to watch the football. they were watching it. but of course, teenagers have to do that at the same time. and, it was just lovely. and then driving back and it was such a warm evening and there were families with kids on bikes and people walking back to their houses, and i thought, this is why we need sport. >> yeah, i did a bike ride yesterday. yeah so you get it. of course. you've got an athletic background. yeah, but but there are lots of people, beth, who say, stop, just shut up about it. no one cares about overpaid men. but, i mean, i love sport, it moves me to tears on many occasions when andy murray won wimbledon, when arsenal have won things before, in the past, i've cried even, you know, watching. i just love seeing people achieve things i do. >> not just an explanation of all that effort. yeah. you think you've trained , that person's you've trained, that person's trained and given up so much and just that moment of amazing humanity that combination of physical and mental brilliance, that's what i love about it. and you know what's in a couple of weeks? the olympics. yes >> well, talking of the

olympics, another memory that came to my mind then was mo farah winning in 2012, winning his a brace, a brace of medals when he crossed the line in the 5000m. again i was crying. it just gives me goosebumps thinking about it right up next, the thoughts of panel >> we're to discuss the stories britain is talking about.

>> hello. 1019 ben and bev with you on britain's newsroom. only on gb news. >> so we are joined in the studio by labour adviser matthew laza, former labour adviser and writer and broadcaster emma wolf, right. matthew, where do you want to start? >> should we start with this incredible wedding , incredible wedding, >> so the, the ambience, the sort of richest, most expensive wedding in the world, it's all over the papers, not least because it's a great picture story. so apparently, i mean, estimates vary, but the estimate is it cost £563 million. i'll say that again, 563 million for

a wedding. i mean, take your pick on on the costs. they had rihanna and katy perry. that was over 100 million just for the music, the flowers, 30 million plus the catering was 126. but that excludes the booze . the that excludes the booze. the champagne bill apparently was 66 million, and britain was well represented, with the ex—prime ministers. the johnsons and the blairs. were there a surprise? >> who would have thought that bofis >> who would have thought that boris johnson and tony blair would be at the wedding of one of the wealthiest families in the world? strange, isn't it? >> i'm reminded of that dolly parton quote. you know, it takes a lot of money to look this cheap, have we? it seems to me the more money you spend, the more tasteless it all becomes. because looking at i don't know who the ambani's are, but looking at the photos of this, the dripping gold and all of that. >> so just for context, this wasn't just a one off wedding on a saturday night. this has been going for on months. i think at least since the start of the year they've been having massive pre—parties you mentioned rihanna, they paid her 5 million to perform. justin bieber was there last week. he got 10 million to perform. and i'm not sure if we've got a picture of bofis sure if we've got a picture of boris johnson and carrie. have

we. carrie, are you looking wonderful? >> took all the kids. >> took all the kids. >> oh, really? she had all three babies at the wedding. >> can you think of anything worse, emma, than taking three toddlers to a wedding with you? >> absolutely. oh, toddlers and weddings do not mix. but what? how she let boris go out in this stuff is just hilarious. >> i mean, say what you like about the blairs at least they had an eye in there. >> i'm not sure if we have that precise picture, but boris johnson said carrie looked great. boris in his traditional, you know, sticking to reputation. he looked an absolute mess. he looked like he'd just gone to a fancy dress box down his kids bedroom, whacked out anything he could find. you need an iron? >> absolutely. it was like a tablecloth that he was wearing. >> it's actually. it's embarrassing for the country, isn't it? because i mean, you know, people around the world know, people around the world know him. and the fact that he just looks such a mess to me, it isn't endearing. it's embarrassing. it is interesting when people decide to wear, you know, traditional dress to a wedding like this, you wonder whether perhaps he would have been better off in a smart suit. >> i mean, that that is also because he would have felt this wedding apparently cost 15 times more than harry and meghan's wedding, which was quite a big deal >>i

deal >> i mean, there are i mean, there's a serious point here because obviously they are, the groom is from india's richest family, people behind reliance industries, massive conglomerate owned, lots of reliance industry. so, why is tony blair like titan? >> isn't it just one of those? yeah, it's mega ones. >> it's a massive conglomerate. it owns it owns lots of things. cars. it's got its fingers and lots of pies like tata. and it's one of those. but there are 190 million people in india who rely on the on the free rice ration from the government. so you'd think that maybe you could scale it back a little bit and done something to give back. i think it takes a little bit in the i think it's absolutely obscene, beanng think it's absolutely obscene, bearing in mind the backdrop to india's poverty. >> oh, it's a petrochemical business there you go. >> oh, right. >> oh, right. >> there we go, there we go. so, all very a lot of money there. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> remember the reliance. >> remember the reliance. >> yeah. you know, there's all the blair's all like hanging out at this big petrochemical industries. yeah. whilst that's where it comes from. and they got us. we need to just and she's from pharmaceutical for all of our farm. the pharmacy is causing the oil industry. >> well how many. >> well how many. >> let's look at your stuff i have nothing. how many private

jets? i think it was 100. private jets were flown out to mumbai for some of these from the liberal elite, which included zuckerberg, bill gates, who are all telling us we have to give up our farmland to put massive solar farms across our farmland, i just i can't bear the hypocrisy. >> i mean, this this is just just to finish off on this. this is what people were saying dunng is what people were saying during the election period. it is the uni party. you've got red, you've got blue. but behind the scenes it's the same team. i think it's manager. yeah. >> and we saw blair had his massive conference last week which was pre—scheduled before the election. future of britain giving us his two penny worth more than his two pennyworth on what the future of the country should be. if just sticks in the craw a little bit, then they jet out. i don't know whether the blairs were in a private jet, but they jetted out. >> they went on easyjet, were they? >> they jetted out and do that. and it does. it does fuel people who think that, you know, that everybody's in in hock to, the super rich and matthew, especially when you're like a family and you're being told that, you know, you're one flight you're on, you're you're one holiday to spain in the summer that you've saved up for on easyjet or not. >> okay. yeah. on easyjet. exactly with your with your knees under your chin .

knees under your chin. >> honestly. >> honestly. >> there you go. i feel better when we've gone. >> if we've been invited, we know. >> kemi badenoch. for tory leadership. emma. yeah. >> i'm very behind. well, i've always thought that kemi badenoch is a good egg. absolute good egg. one of the stars of the conservative party. and i think this is a time. now, stop the postmortems and the pre—mortems and the infighting and the embarrassment, the navel gazing of the conservative party. she's done a lot of it. braverman has been doing a lot of it. i think now use this time. they're in opposition now for five years. as far as we know, they need. there is still an appetite. there is still an appetite. there is still an appetite in this country for a proper centre right alternative use. this time to rebuild, to come, to come together, because it has to stop this pulling each other apart, tearing the party apart. okay. they're on a very, very what? they got 121 seats. i think so, but they can still be, you know, they still they can use this time. but kemi badenoch is absolutely brilliant. it would be great to have a female leader, a black leader, someone outspoken, someone fiercely intelligent. go for it , emma.

intelligent. go for it, emma. >> you make a good point. >> you make a good point. >> and i'm her campaign manager of course. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> the need for a centre right or you know, you know, right wing policies. but matthew laza why don't these tory wets the one nation tories get it even after the obliteration? >> well, they would argue still calling. >> they're still warning. don't go to the right. >> well 73 lib dems you know they've got you know there is an argument that moving to the right won't be the answer. but i think all the parties, frankly, including labour, need to get serious on immigration, which is clearly a big issue in the election. one interesting thing. so this is a poll from conservative home, the conservative grassroots sort of news website which, which, which is, all tory mps look to as the kind of number one source for party news. and they polled members, one person who doesn't seem in the top , sort of half seem in the top, sort of half dozen candidates is victoria atkins, who was .the health secretary. who the who the sort of, as you say, the one nation people were talking up as a possible leader. she doesn't seem to be in the in the top picks of the tory members. >> it's quite a commanding lead, though. kemi badenoch is on 25.8% of the vote. according to

this poll. then you've got jenrick on 13.5. tugendhat. tom tugendhat13% and suella braverman 9.8. so it does look like kemeys , you know, sort of like kemeys, you know, sort of out in front at the moment. >> and but tugendhat seems to be the candidate that the centre left of the tory party are coalescing around. and atkins seems to be slipping away a little. >> sorry, why is there a centre left in the conservative party? what is it? >> they would , they probably >> they would, they probably would call themselves one nation tories or not. >> what is this centre left of the conservative party know quite well? >> you know, i mean, again, there is an argument, you know, that the tories, the tories need to reach out. over 50% of people voted for parties of the centre left, if you seek the labour, lib dems and the greens together. so well, clearly in that space i think people just didn't vote. >> the turnout was dire. labour's vote share was dire. people didn't vote. they've become so disillusioned with again, i say it this uni party that, you know, that we're seeing and we've experienced this massively disillusioned whoever wins. >> one of the big things is to get tory voters who stayed at home to come out and vote again.

so certainly they need to inspire them in a way that sunak isn't hard. >> just sort immigration out. why can't everyone see it? and the people that matter don't. >> ben leo for leader. >> ben leo for leader. >> well, i mean, look, i'm not saying i'm political mastermind, but everyone, everyone there are more issues than just immigration. >> but it's a big part. i don't i don't think there are there are many, many conservative voters who could not vote for this conservative party who care about other things, who care about other things, who care about lots of things that are traditional conservative territory. but it's not. yes, exactly. public family values. family values. yeah, exactly. >> nhs big one. have we got time to do one more story? briefly. should we do a good news story about the fact that pubs have done well , 52 about the fact that pubs have done well, 52 million about the fact that pubs have done well , 52 million beers down done well, 52 million beers down in pubs shattered fans. this is about the football . yeah, about the football. yeah, presumably so. >> £48 million boost to britain's hospitality industry as the nation's hangovers this morning attest to, if anybody's trying to go to a little early this morning, trying to go to a little early this morning , they gave all this morning, they gave all lidl's opened an hour later so that people could nurse their hangovers. so i thought was rather sweet. right? yeah tesco's tesco's closed early so people could watch the match. and lidl's opening late so people can deal with the

hangoven people can deal with the hangover. so take your pick on which supermarket. >> interesting thing though isn't it emma? what kind of company opens an hour later? is that their employer employees so they can have an extra hour, they can have an extra hour, they can have an extra hour, they can have an extra hour in bed. >> they're famous. >> they're famous. >> quite good. yeah. >> quite good. yeah. >> they're a good employer. >> they're a good employer. >> yeah, yeah. in terms of looking after their staff. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well they could just open early, hand out, you know, a nurofen and a nice cup of coffee on the, on the door. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> so don't be knocking on the door lidl to get your hangover cure. >> but we were saying but at least they need the booze, don't they. >> yeah. and we were saying like the point of sport is not just because, you know, it's of interest to the players themselves. it's the social element of it. it brings us all together. like last night was sociable. what did you do? >> so actually i'm not a massive football fan, so i didn't watch it. you didn't watch it at all? no, but i did come. i was in the west end and i came out and, you know, before and after, it was a good atmosphere, actually, and it wasn't. i thought it would get messy. it didn't in the west end, at least. >> emma. >> emma. >> yeah. same. i was cycling back through the, through the city and there was this kind of boost and then these cheers and the pubs were absolutely overflowing. and i do think

you're right, such a low turnout of the election. but the country is divided and horrible and angry and upset and broken and bad summer, we needed something came together, together. >> one thing we've not mentioned, which we're running out of time before the news, but maybe we can come back to it. but sadiq khan, there were no pubuc but sadiq khan, there were no public screenings of the football last night in london. can you imagine any major city in the world where your country is playing in a major international final there, where the mayor around there were? >> i was leaving this studio in the afternoon. there was a screen on paddington. there was a screen on, you know, the area, a screen on, you know, the area, a tv or a giant fans. >> i'm talking about fans. >> i'm talking about fans. >> there wasn't there was no fans anywhere, but there were some big public screens around just on like small screens and stuff, i think. >> but these screens are always here at paddington base. >> they they were showing the wimbledon in the afternoon and they were going to show the football a bit later, the mayor putting on and also you had the mets tweeting about dispersal orders hours before the game, saying if anyone's in central london drinking or this and that, you know, you're going to be in trouble. >> shame they didn't apply the same sort of standards to pro—palestine. >> i've been told that you can't talk about boris johnson without me straightening your collar. >> oh i'm sorry, talk about bofis >> oh i'm sorry, talk about boris rageous without. there we

go. >> i've let the side. i put my collar straighteners in next week, i promise. >> right. you two will be back in the next hour. time now for the very latest news headlines with ray . with ray. >> j's guys. exactly 1030. top stories the king has written to donald trump following an assassination attempt in pennsylvania on saturday. the message was delivered by the uk embassy in washington, dc. buckingham palace has not disclosed details of the correspondence, but it's understood to have condemned the violence, expressed condolences for the victims and wished the former president a quick recovery. well, donald trump has arrived in milwaukee ahead of the republican national convention, where he'll be formally nominated as the republican presidential candidate. over the next few days, he'll reveal his vice presidential running mate. and on thursday, make a keynote speech. trump says the shooting has prompted him to focus on uniting the country . president uniting the country. president biden has appealed to americans to lower the political

then with charles and camilla, that sounds significant , actually. >> yeah. i mean, the uk may not be getting a bank holiday because after the euros loss, but jersey and guernsey are getting a bank holiday because the king and queen are visiting the king and queen are visiting the crown dependencies have not passed. the united kingdom have their own governments, but the king is still head of state in both bailiwicks. and it's, you know, the relationship between the monarchy and the channel islands dates back hundreds and hundreds of years, back to 1106, but it is fairly significant because this is the first time, as you said, of assisting monarch since 2005, charles and camilla haven't visited since the diamond jubilee of elizabeth ii the diamond jubilee of elizabeth h back the diamond jubilee of elizabeth i! back in 2012. so that just shows it's not actually very often that these places get a visit from from a monarch . and visit from from a monarch. and it is one of those places which of course is not part , as of course is not part, as i said, not part of the united kingdom, but it is. they are big monarchists. they really love the royal family. and of course , the royal family. and of course, very similar to the united kingdom. everything revolves around the monarchy. they go to, you know, state assembly, which the king will be visiting later on today. a royal court , you

on today. a royal court, you know, royal crests on every kind of official government seat that they have. so i think it's going to be incredibly special time for, for those there. but weather forecast looks horrific. so lots of people go to jersey and guernsey for great weather. not as the king and queen have clearly bought the bad weather with them, i'm afraid. cameron, >> in january , the australian >> in january, the australian government indicated that it was going to put a proposal to hold a referendum on, the monarchy. yeah. on hold . they wanted to. yeah. on hold. they wanted to. well, the idea was that they were going to vote on whether to remove king charles as the head of state. do you think this has anything to do that their tour of australia coming up has anything to do with that, trying to shore up relations? >> yeah. so buckingham palace have confirmed that the king and queen will be travelling to australia in october alongside samoa , skipping out new samoa, skipping out new zealand's, though that is because of the king's cancer diagnosis. doctors are being really cautious and about the king's health and usually he'd be doing like eight engagements a day, that's all being scaled back for the king to be in

australia. but in terms of the referendum, i think one of the reasons that the king, the king has to be kind of physically there to be seen and to be believed and to shore up support. we saw that when william and catherine went with george and charlotte, when they were babies, to australia and new zealand, it shored up support for the monarchy. but as you say, they've shelved plans for this referendum back in january. so i think even if the king couldn't go this year because of his cancer diagnosis, i don't think any republican australia would have been imminent because of the australian government's decision. but it will be a chance, i think. i'm afraid, for a lot of protests from the australian people. we know already that there are republican protests planned for october for when the king and queen visits, but as they always do, they're going to completely ignore it, as in the king and queen. and you know , speak to queen. and you know, speak to people who want to speak to them and celebrate what it means to be the australian australian head of state. new pictures have been released this morning by the government of the king and queen, wearing the australian and new zealand insignia inside buckingham palace. it was a

sporty weekend for the royals, wasn't it? >> william and george at the euros final? yeah. >> didn't george look good? did he, do you think? well, i think a little suit on. he had a suit on in the royal box areas. very dapper to my wife. i said, oh george, he's a good looking kid. you see they. >> oh it's a bit strange though, isn't it? royals. yeah. is this smart? but i don't know how they get these children into these clothes. some of the clothes that they wear, it's just all so sort of grown up, isn't it? >> well, that's what that's what people were saying online last night. why can't george just wear an england top? yeah, yeah, i there's been a lot of criticism actually. >> but prince george isn't allowed to wear an england top. i mean, sometimes when he goes to aston villa with his father, which is obviously a team which prince william supports, he does wear like an aston villa scarf, but he also tends to be wearing a suit as well. if you're in the royal box, you've got to wear a suit and tie. that's just kind of how it goes. he's also future king. the king of spain was also clearly in the stadium yesterday, probably left a lot more happy than prince william did, but he was also wearing a suit. so it's just kind of by the by, i think when you are okay. prince william, prince george's ten, but he is future

king and he is in the royal box, so i'm sure he gets to wear football kit at some point. yeah, exactly, >> and of course catherine looking radiant. and she loves tennis, doesn't she? yeah. i kind of suspect if she's going to make an appearance this summer, it would be at the men's final. >> yeah, and she's patron of the all england lawn tennis and croquet club. she presented, as you see, carlos alcaraz with the winner's trophy . princess winner's trophy. princess charlotte had a great day out as well. princess catherine revealing that princess charlotte had been practising her tennis the day before they arrived. she was also gifted barbora krejcikova racket winning racket from the ladies singles the day before . but the singles the day before. but the standing ovation, which you can see on your screens now that the princess of wales got when she arrived at centre court, was just spectacular. only her second public appearance since that cancer diagnosis, and i think both princess charlotte and her sister pippa matthews, looked up at catherine in admiration. at this moment it was really special. >> so does princess charlotte play >> so does princess charlotte play tennis? >> she does. yeah yeah. so she does the kind of behind the scenes. it's one of her passions. what if you had a tennis court in every in the

garden of every house? >> well, yeah. >> well, yeah. >> and you've got no excuse. >> and you've got no excuse. >> yeah. and also kate's very sporty as well. so she would be forcing her kids to, to do sport. >> are we expecting any more pubuc >> are we expecting any more public appearances from catherine in the not i, not in the near future. >> i suspect she's going to take the summer out and then perhaps she'll be back up and running in september or october time. but kensington palace not putting a time frame on it. a lot of people were saying online actually this morning that a bit sad for prince louis, who's been kind of barred from all public appearances recently. we saw him at trooping the colour, but he didn't get a treat at the tennis or at the football. >> the thing is, he's so much youngenisnt >> the thing is, he's so much younger, isn't he? and he's clearly a bit of a live wire. i mean, i think their children do incredibly well to sit still at these long events. they have to sit there with no iphones to play sit there with no iphones to play with or an ipad. it always surprises me, like their behaviour is outstanding. those children, i don't i don't know how they do it. really? yeah it absolutely is. >> and if you remember back to the platinum jubilee when prince louis had a little bit of a tantrum in the royal box during the procession, princess catherine kind of very calmly told him off, but she didn't. and it kind of, you know, did the trick, really. it was very subtle . and i think prince

subtle. and i think prince louis, as you say, very young, i'm sure he'll do more public engagements as he gets older, as princess charlotte and prince george are lovely kids. >> thank you. cameron, right. keep your thoughts coming this morning. gbnews.com/yoursay. >> we're going to be hearing shortly from a former strategist to donald trump on how the former president is doing after that. quite extraordinary attempt on his life over the weekend and so many talking points surrounding it. you know, the rhetoric leading up to the incident, how we should move forward from this. i mean, the security services, the questions about how that shooter was able to be, how that threat was not neutralised, let's put it that way. >> whilst lay on the roof of that building for such a long penod that building for such a long period of time, lots of questions to be asked and answered. >> coming up on britain's newsroom back in the

>> 1046 is

>>1046 is britain's >> 1046 is britain's newsroom on gb news and me. bev turner and ben lear. >> very good morning to you. now, former us president donald trump has spoken out after yesterday's attempted assassination on his life, as he called for unity, claiming god alone saved his life. >> joe biden also urged for america to lower the temperature after the trump shooting. >> disagreement is inevitable in american democracy. it's part of human nature. but politics must never be a literal battlefield or, god forbid, a killing field. i believe politics ought to be an arena for peaceful debate to pursue justice, to make decisions guided by the declaration of independence and our constitution, we stand for an america not of extremism, of fury, but of decency and grace . fury, but of decency and grace. >> we're joined now by former deputy assistant to donald trump, doctor sebastian gorka. good morning to you, doctor. thanks for joining good morning to you, doctor. thanks forjoining us, good morning to you, doctor. thanks for joining us, first of all, on joe biden, i mean, you just saw that clip there. it's a bit rich, isn't it, of the president to be talking in those terms when it was only last week, he was saying that he

needed to put donald trump in a bull's eye. he was referring to maga supporters , republicans, as maga supporters, republicans, as a threat to democracy and so on. and so on. >> yeah, it's a good morning. it's a bloody outrage. we have the current incumbent, an individual who has labelled half the nation as so—called maga extremists, and then his lackeys in the mainstream media and his democrat colleagues in congress repeatedly used the phrase threat to describe a re—election of my former boss, president trump . they've compared him to trump. they've compared him to hitler. they've talked about the threat to democracy. and then now they're surprised that this occurred. i wrote a piece that was published yesterday in breitbart where i said, nobody should be surprised that this occurred when you demonise the leader of the opposition , when leader of the opposition, when you dehumanise tens of millions of americans, what do you think's going to happen? do you

think's going to happen? do you think people are just going to sit there and not be radicalised? so the death of that firefighter protecting his wife and his children, the two other critically injured trump supporters, that blood is on the hands of the biden administration, the democrats and the mainstream media who have just increased radicalism throughout their use of this inflammatory language to what extent, sir, do you also think the blood is on the hands of the secret service and the protection detail that should have been there for donald trump? >> there's some remarkable footage online now from all sorts of different angles showing quite how long the shooter had to gain, aim and to take the shot with members of the public pointing and shouting to the police. there's a guy on the roof with a gun. you know, it seems implausible that a 20 year old could beat the american secret service. >> yeah, it's an utter shambles. it was a catastrophic failure of

the secret service, a that this individual managed to get on a building within 150 yards of the principal of the president that had no security on the building. it just beggars belief. and then that iconic photograph you're saying you're showing right now, i mean, god bless the president for what he did. but his head should not be visible. his torso should not be visible. his torso should not be visible. his torso should not be visible. the secret service, if you look at the footage of the reagan assassination attempt in 1981, the president was immediately covered by the secret service and literally catapulted into the beast, into the armoured vehicle to keep him safe. these these amateurs kept the president in the kill box for far too long, stationary and then these diminutive female secret service agents couldn't physically cover his body. the president's almost as big as i am, right? he's six foot three, and you need to have somebody as the large as the principal to cover your body with to catch

the extra bullets in the british terminology, we call the sds the personal security detail. bullet catchers , literally bullet catchers, literally bullet catchers. your job is to catch other bullets. if there's a secondary shooter or a follow up string of firing from from the original one, and then these little women who are playing with their sunglasses and, it's just it's just it beggars belief. it's truly that utter failure for the secret service. >> i think. i think sort of what you're slightly alluding to there is actually that there's been a lot of preoccupation with the secret service with their diversity, equity and inclusion procedures . there's been a lot procedures. there's been a lot of talk about that on their social media. we're seeing i'm not saying that women can't do that job well, but i guess what you're saying is in that situation, when you are writing the line of fire, quite literally, you need the biggest, tallest, strongest blokes around you. and if you have to be wrestled to the ground, then they're going to wrestle you to they're going to wrestle you to the ground. >> look, why do you never see

short women protecting george clooney or julia harris or beckham? i mean , why are, you beckham? i mean, why are, you know, private sector personal security details made up of massive guys ? because you have massive guys? because you have the physical capacity to move the physical capacity to move the principal at a moment's nofice the principal at a moment's notice into safety. and on top of that, your body can physically protect them like a wall, like a bullet shield . so wall, like a bullet shield. so this isn't about women. this is about the physics of how you protect somebody who is the most endangered human being on the planet. let's be clear here, president trump, after the rhetoric of the democrats for the last eight years, calling him hitler fascist, nazi, white supremacist, he's the most endangered person in the world and we don't need die hires. we don't need diversity hires to wave in front of the public. we need that person to be safe. >> yeah, doctor gorka, i'm not sure if you've spoken to president trump in since the weekend, but he is was due to speak and will still speak at the republican national

convention this week. >> he told the washington examiner that he scrapped his previously written speech, which was going to go hard on joe biden and immigration. and he suggested, as far as i can see, that he's going to tone it down. it's a different angle. a have you spoken to president trump? and b, what do you make of how he proceeds now until november in terms of, you know, the tone of the campaign ? of the campaign? >> i haven't spoken to him because i think he's got more important things to do. but i've been texting with his children , been texting with his children, with eric, with his daughter in law laura, with don jr. and i was texting back and forth with one of his key advisers, a friend of mine, last night, the guy is just incredible. i mean, i don't know what he's made of the genetic material. you know, he was shot at right? then he discharges himself from hospital , discharges himself from hospital, flies back home to bedminster, plays a round of golf yesterday and then says, yeah, it's time to go to the rnc convention. he doesn't delay himself. he says, i'm not letting these bastards delay me. he goes to the

convention where i'll see him in two days time, and i think we will see a slightly different president trump because he's not going to exploit this. he's not going to exploit this. he's not going to exploit this. he's not going to leverage this tragedy. but but but you know, he needs to show the world. >> look, doctor, we're running out of time. unfortunately, before we crash off air in unfashionable style. thank you so much forjoining us. very much appreciate it. thank you. cheers. bye bye. yeah. >> fascinating isn't it ? cheers. bye bye. yeah. >> fascinating isn't it? right. more news to come. can you imagine 250 football pitches worth of solar panels outside your house? well, that could be happening to people in arlington. we're going to be discussing that and more. this is britain's newsroom on gb news. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar . sponsors of weather on gb solar. sponsors of weather on gb news hello. good morning. >> welcome to your latest gb news weather update brought to you from the met office. a very wet day to come for much of england and wales with weather warnings in force. warmer further north though, than it

has been lately. that's because we're between weather systems for northern areas , but to the for northern areas, but to the south we've got low pressure approaching and these weather fronts moving into the south coast. that's where the heaviest rain will be around lunchtime. we've got a band of pulses of heavy rain pushing in through south—west england and into wales. they'll also arrive into the south—east later on this afternoon, now further north. and that should stay much, mostly dry across northern ireland, much of scotland. there's a risk of the odd shower across southeastern scotland, but it's going to be a warmer day here, temperatures climbing towards the low 20s, so a big difference from the weekend for northern areas. meanwhile across the south it remains wet overnight tonight . now it should overnight tonight. now it should be a bright evening tonight across much of scotland. clear skies across western areas in particular. as i said , there is particular. as i said, there is a risk of some quite heavy showers, possibly some thundery downpours across southeastern scotland, but most areas should stay dry for scotland and northern ireland. now this rain pushes up into northern england by the time we get into this evening. so there could be some water on the roads. if you are travelling around across england and wales through this evening,

it does clear away to the north and east overnight tonight, but it will likely return through the night, with further pulses of rain becoming a bit more focused across parts of wales towards lincolnshire as well, with the rain warning still in force through much of the night into tuesday morning here. so there'll be a lot of cloud around overnight. not too much of a breeze though, so under clear skies it will be a little bit fresher, but most areas staying up in the mid—teens. so a fairly mild start. so if you do catch any sunshine first thing on tuesday, we'll feel quite warm. but for most of us it's going to be another cloudy and wet start to the day, particularly across parts of northeastern england where the rain will likely persist. now there's another risk of showers moving into southeastern areas of scotland and a rain warning in force here. but again, temperatures are a little bit higher and warmer tomorrow, with highs of 21 degrees by that warm feeling inside

>> well .

stay or should he go? >> and us security failure donald trump's security has been blasted for the catastrophic mistakes made after the former president cheated death following a sniper's assassination attempt. >> meanwhile , joe biden urges a >> meanwhile, joe biden urges a divided america to come together should a shooting at donald trump's rally in pennsylvania calls on all of us to take a step back, take stock of where we are , how we go forward from we are, how we go forward from here, and a royal comeback. >> catherine, the princess of wales, looked fabulous at wimbledon yesterday while the king and queen begin their tour of the channel islands and monstrous. >> that's what kent residents are calling plans to build a solar panel farm on the size of 250 football pitches near aldington. we'll be speaking to one of the campaigners taking on the big london firms involved .

the big london firms involved. >> to get used to this solar panel estates all over the country taking over your farmland labour are very excited about it. >> and isn't it ironic? you know, wind farm solar panels, it's all green and, you know, saving the world. yet scotland failed 14 million trees to, to erect solar panels. yeah, and wind farms. >> it's ridiculous. and you know , >> it's ridiculous. and you know, there are local communities who are putting up a fight. as i say, we're going to talk to one of them in just a little while. gbnews.com/yoursay to let us know your thoughts. this morning. first, though, the very latest news with ray. >> good morning. 11:02, our top stories the king has written to donald trump following an assassination attempt in pennsylvania on saturday. it was delivered by the uk embassy in washington dc. buckingham palace has not disclosed details of the correspondence, but it's understood to have condemned the violence, expressed condolences

he talked about the coarsening of debate and the fact that we need to have a very close look at, at how we conduct our politics. and i hope that on, you know, on the back of the elections that we've just been through here, where candidates of all parties, particularly women, suffered the most appalling acts of abuse and, and were often put in very frightening positions. i hope very much that we can have a sort of national debate now about how we clean that up . about how we clean that up. >> a man charged with two counts of murder after human remains were found in two suitcases in bristol, is due to appear in court. jostin andres mosquera is accused of killing 62 year old albert alfonso and 71 year old paul longworth, who had previously been in a relationship. police say the suspect had been staying with them at their flat in london's shepherd's bush, where more remains were found. the 34 year old will appear at wimbledon magistrates court police are scouring a farm in hertfordshire

enough. but, you know, the players have pushed it till the 85th minute of the final game. they've been incredible really. >> well, there's been a mixed reaction from england fans. these supporters in newcastle spoke after the game a bit good, but i kind of expected it . but i kind of expected it. >> like i try to manifest. that would win but under the management that we are that we're currently in, i kind of knew this was going to happen, you know what i mean? i think a bit sulky, didn't make the subs earlier, but he made the right subs this time. but it just didn't come across. i reckon you retire this time . different retire this time. different manager, different team will come across better. i think you should stay. you've done really well mate , right? regardless of well mate, right? regardless of everything you've done . everything you've done. fantastic. thank you very much, pal. >> keep it up. i hope he should stay. >> those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm ray addison moore in half an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com

heads, we haven't seen many people with sore heads. >> but i can tell you that the mood here in manchester is indeed a sombre one. as fans have woken up to the stark reality that once again , reality that once again, football has sadly not come home. but of course , it's not home. but of course, it's not just disappointment for england fans , for the players and that fans, for the players and that backroom staff as well. after they battled their way through they battled their way through the tournament game after game, making it all the way to the final. it ended in disappointment for them as they become the first team ever to lose back to back euros finals. now, many of the players in the squad last night either were born and bred here in manchester, or they're currently playing for man city or man united. perfect example of that . united. perfect example of that. phil foden he started every game in the tournament. he was born in the tournament. he was born in stockport in greater manchester, now plays for his boyhood club of man city. similar story for cole palmer, who of course scored that wonder goal yesterday for england, which just wasn't enough for spain , who obviously scored two. spain, who obviously scored two. cole palmer started his career

despite being a united fan. he started his career in the city under acas academy, working his way up. he of course, now plays for chelsea, so major, major heartbreak for both fan and player alike. now some people who won't be disappointed this morning though, are of course the spanish now rather serendipitously, we bumped into a spanish family here in manchester, of all places this morning, and they reacted with me on how they're feeling this morning after that amazing euros win for them . win for them. >> well, we loved it. we think we deserved to win the european football cup and we are really sorry for england . they they did sorry for england. they they did a great a great match, much better than the previous matches . better than the previous matches. so it was very tough for for, spain to play against, against england and, and it was a wonderful tournament for, for spain and i'm guessing these your two sons. >> yes. are they very happy as

well. >> they are football fans. >> they are football fans. >> very happy with the football result last night. >> yeah. very happy. yes. >> yeah. very happy. yes. >> did you think spain deserved to win? >> yes. of course . absolutely. >> yes. of course. absolutely. be the best team at the moment do you think? >> who's your favourite spanish player, >> the, the best player, for me, rodn. rodri. >> and that of course, is the way football goes isn't it? ecstasy for spain, but heartbreak for england. although speaking to england fans here, this morning, they're telling me they're still very proud of the way we upheld ourselves in that tournament. it seemed difficult at the beginning, but we made it all the way to the final and who knows, maybe we'll have another chance come the world cup in two years time. you never know. >> yeah, you never know. sophie, i'm looking forward to that world cup in the us. it will be a good, good little gig as a spectator travelling around nonh spectator travelling around north america. let's go to east midlands now, where our reporter, will hollis is on the ground. will plenty of sore heads around. and of course, as far as the midlands involvement. ollie watkins, he plays for

villa . villa. >> yes. well it's usually quite quiet on a monday morning in nottingham. even quieter today. we know that the pubs and bars were extended in their license to 1:00 last night, and i suppose people, rather than celebrating, would have been drowning their sorrows. >> gareth southgate has been england's manager since 2016 and while his performance has taken us to semi—finals , quarter us to semi—finals, quarter finals and now two successive finals and now two successive finals for the euros , this finals for the euros, this performance particularly has followed been followed by football fans who trailed the england team's performance with doubt. that trust was almost returned after we beat netherlands only a few days ago, and there was once again a renewed vigour in the performance of england. but today, on the streets of nottingham, that had all faded away after the performance. that means that england now are coming home trophyless rather

than with a trophy in hand . than with a trophy in hand. there is probably quite an even number of people that i've spoken to who are in support of gareth southgate staying on, and also who think that it is now time for a new manager. and i've spoken to them on the streets of nottingham. >> i think it's up to him because, okay, there's a lot of tactical errors he made, but all managers make those errors and i think you have to give people a chance. think you have to give people a chance . i think he should go. chance. i think he should go. and the reason is that he's too much of, he's got no forceful forcefulness in it. >> he don't . god. but i think he >> he don't. god. but i think he should have made changes like earlier, if you know what i mean. and when, when he did, he's kept everything the same for a long time. and i think we needed a change to win something, regardless of the result. >> gareth southgate is the best performing england manager of recent living memory. but for

football fans here in nottingham and around the country, for now, that's just no longer going to cut it. >> okay , well thanks very much >> okay, well thanks very much sophie. thank you. yeah, it's interesting there was stories doing the rounds this morning in the papers about gareth southgate getting a knighthood , southgate getting a knighthood, being rewarded for, as we'll mention there, taking us to a final, the euro 2020 final of course, as well the, the semi—final of the world cup pnor semi—final of the world cup prior to that . but i just think prior to that. but i just think how can you knight somebody who's not won anything? it's surely i mean look respect to the guys, respect to gareth southgate. he's a very nice chap.i southgate. he's a very nice chap. i met him a few times, but surely losing in the final just means you are the first loser. >> can i tell you i'm so. i mean, listen, i love andrew pierce, but i'm so glad you're here today to talk about football because me and andrew winging this for an article 2.5 hours would have been absolutely unwatchable, but also, i am a bit bored of talking about football now. yeah. >> are you? i am, i kind of think get over it. it was a disappointment kind of expected. and they were better than us.

>> they were genuinely just better than us, weren't they? we have to accept , which better than us, weren't they? we have to accept, which in a way makes the defeat a little bit more palatable, doesn't it? if you'd lost on penalties and we were really good, then i think that's a bit harder, carolina says spain was the better team on the night. why are we so obsessed with having to win? we teach kids. it's not about winning, but taking part. i don't teach my kids that. >> no, i don't either. >> no, i don't either. >> these football players are on vast amounts of money they played and have to take full responsibility. stop blaming others and the coach, >> right. >> right. >> precisely the point. why do we reward failure? yes, they've done very well. there's a vast improvement on the england teams of yesteryear, but we still lost. we didn't win. so why should gareth southgate, as talented and as respectable and nicer guy he is, get a knighthood? it just doesn't make sense. >> right? we've got a really interesting story coming up about a massive solar estate. i refuse to use the word solar farm about these monstrosities. we're going to be to talking one community who are trying to push back on it, and the australian swimming team have arrived in paris for the olympics, and it's got me and ben a little bit

irate, riled. don't go anywhere. this is britain's newsroom gb

>> hello. welcome back. it's 1118, ben. and bev with you on britain's newsroom. live across the united kingdom on gb news. >> right. we've got emma, laser and matthew . and matthew. >> emma laser. you're merging us. we've got. yeah lord has an announcement to make . congratulations. >> matthew laza and emma woolf are with us. thank you guys. now listen , these images have just listen, these images have just broken on social media. it's the australian swimming team arriving in paris ahead of the 2024 olympics. now, what do you notice, ben? leo about these perfectly healthy, wonderful, strapping human beings? >> they've been muzzled. they've been muzzled. they're wearing a face nappy across their face. it's not 2020 or 2021, by the way. it's 2024 years after covid and the pandemic and everything we've learned since. obviously, as far as they're concerned, hasn't been taken heed of.

>> now , i've tweeted this story >> now, i've tweeted this story already and a lot of people are getting in touch, matthew, and saying, well, if it's if it's up to them, it's their choice. they can wear a mask if they want to. >> are they right? yeah. >> are they right? yeah. >> i mean, i think it is it is individual choice. and you are seeing more people just in everyday life wearing masks over the weekend. actually, i spotted a few people at various things, were masking up, but it's obviously it doesn't. i'm not sure if it is their individual choice because the entire team seems to be exactly, but only the swimmers. so far we've seen we haven't seen the rest of the australian athletes. one of the australian, producers in the break there said to me, oh, well, at least they'll be festooned with gold medals around with their masks as the australian swimmers tend to sweep the board in the pool. but, i mean, i think it's got to remain individual choice, i don't feel the need to wear a mask. and i think people it must be up to individuals and blanket imposition. no more. >> here's the thing. do you remember the world in january 2020? d0 remember the world in january 2020? do you remember 2019 when it wasn't normal to cover up your face so you can't see

smiles and you can't communicate with other people? we've got to remember, emma, that life doesn't have to be like this because it didn't used to be like this. >> i find masks profoundly disturbing. me too . i see people disturbing. me too. i see people wearing masks, and i feel that they have some kind of mental illness. and i mean that in a in a, in an understanding way. i think there is a problem going on with them. and every time i've tweeted things like, you know, just seen a guy walking down the street in the open air on his own, wearing a mask, just seeing a driver wearing a mask in a car on their own. what do you get the responses that you get are, but you don't know? they could just be picking up a passenger. they could be or whatever. i just throughout covid, what i was saying and feeling was of course we should protect the vulnerable. if you have a specific respiratory condition, of course, but don't expect the rest of the world to mask up to cover their faces, to be. it's a kind of fear and shutting out of the world, and i find it really disturbing. >> i mean, you say, you say, you know, if it's to protect others

on an individual basis, but there's lots of studies since covid that show that, oh, no, i think mask are useless, more worse than they were used. it's been revealed they were used primarily by governments as a as an optics tool, of course, to kind of, you know, ramp up the, the, the feeling that something serious is going on and often you've got people wearing dirty blue masks all day long, pulling them down, having a fag, pulling it. >> i mean, absolutely, i don't think they can actually do the reverse. >> i think you can absolutely be trapping germs in people who people who wear them in an outdoors is very it's very strange. and people who are in a car on their own, it's complete madness. some people would say if they were in a crowded public space and they've got, you know, they're clinically vulnerable, they've got underlying conditions. if they want to wear one, that's fine, but it needs to be a choice. and i think that what we don't want to be seeing is any imposition of even people who are wearing them by choice. >> matthew, i almost find that more disturbing. what is going on with them that they are so scared of the world? what are they shutting out? i see children, young children, you know, like teenage people who grew up during that period who now wear masks because it's kind of normalised. yeah, it's kind

of normalised. yeah, it's kind of normal. i mean, i think some people, i mean, really sad way to grow up. >> i think people if they've got if they've got sort of serious conditions, if they're worried about their immune system, i mean, as you say, the evidence is pretty slim, frankly, but non—existent. >> but you see, there were always but there were always people who had compromised immune systems. >> those people always existed. >> those people always existed. >> and flu always existed and flu always existed. >> and, you know, covid was basically flu with an amazing advertising campaign. >> who ever used to see in 20 before 2020, chinese people, chinese and occasionally sort of far eastern tourists. that's right, and i know the sars epidemic wasn't it got that ingrained. >> and i don't want to live in china. >> and i keep saying this. and people who say it's their personal choice and it is and somebody who is libertarian at heart, like i do find it, my natural instinct is to not point at someone and say, you have to do this for me. i want people to live their life. you do you, and i'll do me. >> that's why we feel glasses. >> that's why we feel glasses. >> i spent most of 2020 in a fog every time you went into a shop. >> but. but we're not having enough conversations about what we lose if we normalise this. >> i think teenagers, i think we've lost so much. but look at the rates of anxiety and

depression and anxiety disorders and other kinds of mental health issues amongst the young. that issues amongst the young. that is no coincidence. there has been a marked spike since 2020, in young people just i mean, that's also to do with the online, you know, with the sort of addiction to smartphones and things. but i think the two go handin things. but i think the two go hand in hand. this shutting away, shutting out the world, inability to interact with other people. and i think young people are losing so much. >> there are between 3 and 5 million youngsters who grew up dunng million youngsters who grew up during covid. my son being one who whose only experience with people outside their home were wearing masks and face nappies . wearing masks and face nappies. and now, because those children, those 3 to 5 million kids are now far, far behind on their speech. yeah, years behind on their speech. my own son, he's fine now, i think, but he was having speech therapy. >> i pushed back on that a little. my son was born during dunng little. my son was born during during lockdown, literally in a lockdown hospital in a central london lockdown hospital. and there is this whole thing about young people. i think in a way they were quite resilient. they didn't know anything else. babies. babies are very, very young. >> every child should be surrounded by child would have been subject to speech delays, but there are. >> it is a fact. there were

between 3 and 5 million children, far above previous rates prior to covid, who are now were struggling with delayed speech. >> yeah, but a lot of young children are also being diagnosed with adhd. add all of that. i think we're massively over diagnosing generation just in general. >> i mean, yeah, i think i'm sort of with both of you. the bottom line is your baby was born into a house where you weren't wearing you is talk. born into a house where you weren't wearing you is talk . all weren't wearing you is talk. all you do is talk. and there were a lot of babies, books and talks like ben says, who were born into that time, who had parents who were paranoid, who were wearing masks all the time, and our and our babies, including indoors early groups never able to go and play with other children and stuff. >> so let's just not. >> so let's just not. >> i think the takeaway did my generation just broken as well, is that the tour de france have now mandated masks for anybody within the tour that comes into contact with an athlete and i just want to remind people we didn't used to live like this and we just we just made this. >> you're getting getting ill is actually part of the human experience. i mean, part of what your body needs in terms of and it's part of building up your immunity. >> but you make a really, really good point, which is it's also

about common courtesy. if you were really ill, don't go to a press conference and talk to an elite athlete, you know, like you should never have done even before 2020. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> but we forget a glorified form of, you know, sometimes a very severe form of flu. and you would say, i'm actually really ill. i don't want to spread germs, or you would ring up and say, i'm not. well i'm not going to come into the office. and that was called having a sick day because you were off sick. yeah. >> the brainwashing was so intense. it's easy to forget how we used to live. >> covid isn't like an antisocial thing that you're imposing on other people. if you're poorly, stay home. >> and >> and it's >> and it's also >> and it's also this >> and it's also this idea >> and it's also this idea that you own you own a virus that you own that we didn't used to think that. we just used to thought illness was just illness. it wasn't like you've got that. well you say don't give me a fundamental philosophical. >> i'm not i don't want to give you my cold. >> right. let's move on, >> right. let's move on, >> did you want to do, mps subject to abuse just to cheer ourselves up? so stella creasy was the labour mp for walthamstow, who i've known. we started to work in tv on the same day together. stella and i at itv. anyway, so stella is a pretty resilient character, and she's, she's out there with their campaign, but she was called a child killer in front of her young daughter by an

anti—abortion campaigner. and the police have told her that she should just accept street harassment as part of her job. and this comes the day after the government's adviser on political violence , who's a political violence, who's a former labour mp who served under the tories in that role, has written to the home secretary about the scenes we saw in the election with particularly with the anti gaza independents who caused a lot of problems. we saw , we saw people problems. we saw, we saw people complaining about that, their counts across the, across the country. so pretty grim for the met just to say put up with being shouted at as a child killer in front of your kids just on the, the, the gaza candidates. >> i mean, it's quite ironic. people like jonathan ashworth, who whilst still in his seats, would say there's no problem with sectarianism in this country, there's absolutely no problem. and then yet a couple of days ago, maybe at the weekend, he's complaining about how he was hounded down the street and lost his seat because of, you know, yeah, i think people i think certainly it's increased awareness. >> you know, there was clearly kind of, you know, you sectarian or kind of en masse bloc voting, as it were, going on and people's tactics, were pretty, were pretty grim. i mean, we had

jess phillips was almost in tears and another pretty robust character on election night, people having their campaigners having their tires slashed. >> with jess respect to her, she can't even call it out. and identify them. and she's still yet to do that . yet to do that. >> well, i mean, i think it's pretty obvious. i mean, she's probably not trying not to not to stoke tensions, but i mean, it's you know, one of the things just is that people who volunteer in politics as well, lots of people just give up, you know, all parties give up their saturday afternoons to go and deliver leaflets, knock on doors, and they're now getting this level of abuse in the streets. and that's not fair. >> it's tough. it comes with the job. it's tough. >> i think there's a balance. i think me called a child killer is no, no, no, no. >>— is no, no, no, no. >> because what worries me about this, you've got the likes of stella creasy saying it's not fair. i shouldn't be spoken to like this. well, get used to it, because then they'll come for gb news that we can't talk like this. she wasn't abused. she was. she wasn't assaulted . was. she wasn't assaulted. >> she had words spoken to her which were unkind and aggressive. >> but that is just words. >> but that is just words. >> and it's not just on the left. >> look at nigel farage having actual concrete blocks hurled at

him. >> this is about to say the abuse, the online. >> i mean, i think that standards have massively declined in what we put in what people think it's okay to do. so i think public standards online, but also in real life, look at what people like lee anderson put up with the thousands and thousands of messages. same for diane abbott. it's on the left andifs diane abbott. it's on the left and it's on the right. yeah absolutely. look at donald trump being shot at. what is going on i remember it seems to me we need to tone the rhetoric down. ability to disagree. >> you don't do that though by police officers arresting people for saying something cruel. >> yeah i mean, i had iron brew thrown at me in the 2014, scottish referendum campaign in a very scottish, scottish moment of stereotyping literally we had with ed miliband. they were kind of people off camera, people flicking through a mars bar or something. >> yeah, but not everybody's going to agree with you, you know, get over it . know, get over it. >> and some people are going to say hurty words like child killer. it's of course, it's deeply unpleasant. >> i do find it kind of, hypocritical. i remember interviewing nigel farage when i worked at my local paper maybe 15 years ago, my local newspaper ,

15 years ago, my local newspaper, and he was getting death threats. he had security. then we had far left agitators chasing his family out of pubs. his young kids at the time, nobody batted an eyelid. then nobody batted an eyelid. then nobody cared about nigel farage. >> well, i think look, i think whoever it applies to, i think we shouldn't have harassment of politicians, but we should have fierce and vigorous debate. >> we should. >> we should. >> we should. >> we should, write , a quarter >> we should, write, a quarter of the workforce are going to find a new job in the next six months. emma, hopefully none of us, not us that might come back and bite me. go on. emma. >> well, let's see. >> well, let's see. >> i mean, this is one of those surveys that i think is carried out by a recruitment agency trying to drum up support. look, i think the good thing is that the country's hopefully getting back to work. we've been in such a slump, such a decline, whether it's right or wrong to put people on furlough and basically pay people on furlough and basically pay them to stay home to and shield out the world. but, i mean, people need to get working when you look into the detail of this, it was sort of people deciding that they wanted a better work life balance and that they wanted to pursue different career opportunities, which is all very kind of snowflakey in my day, you get a job and you work hard for your

employer. it wasn't about you, it was about working hard for your employer. >> 10s yeah, but getting back to work, and it's one of the things that the government did in the first week, liz kendall set out a plan to get them back to work because we need more people to get back into work. >> you aren't in work. never mind those in work changing jobs. >> even if you're at work and people say mean words to you, you still go to work. >> you would never say mean words to me, though, even about my collar, i would never write. >> emma. matthew. thank you so much. let's move on. it's your news headlines with ray addison. >> thanks, guys. 1130 the king has written to donald trump following an assassination attempt in pennsylvania on saturday. the message was delivered by the uk embassy in washington, dc. buckingham palace has not disclosed the details of the correspondence, but it's understood to have condemned the violence, expressed condolences for the victims and wished the former president a quick recovery. donald trump has arrived in milwaukee ahead of the republican national convention there, where he'll be formally

financial report. >> up at noon. good afternoon, britain with tom and emily. good morning to you both. good morning to you both. good morning on the show today. >> good morning. it's nasty rhetoric to blame for this attempted assassination on trump, it's a tricky one, isn't it? nigel farage has come out swinging in his column in the telegraph, saying that it is to blame. of course, we don't know the motives of the man who chose to do this, but he's suggesting that it's been ramped up. so much by the left. vicious, you know, being called a dictator, being called a nazi sympathiser by our own foreign secretary, all of this stuff. has it led to that kind of. yeah. >> you get people on the right saying that the rhetoric of the left has caused this. >> you get people on the left saying the rhetoric of the right has caused this. i'd like to posit perhaps a different idea that hurty words haven't caused this at all. that this guy didn't seem to be particularly political. and you do get assassinations or assassination attempts for very, very weird.

>> yeah, but hang on, tom, hang on. tom, if you look at the case of nigel farage and yes, thank goodness, just a milkshake. that was obviously because of the rhetoric around nigel farage. but so why in the case perhaps in this case, we can't say because we don't know the motivation that this was a bullied kid at school. well, he was, but that's what we know about him. yes. >> he'd also donated to democratic. >> i think that's actually been found to not be the case. now that that was an issue of name confusion, i saw that in one report. it looks like this guy wasn't particularly political at all. and much like the attempted assassination attempt of ronald reagan, that was someone who wanted to get the attention of a movie star. i mean, you get very, very odd sort of causes. and i think jumping to a political cause here might be, might be premature. >> well, it's a good opportunity to regardless whether that's the case or not, maybe tone it all down. as you know , some are down. as you know, some are suggesting and not you too. i can see we won't turn it down. >> turn it up , turn it up. >> turn it up, turn it up. >> turn it up, turn it up. >> right. emily and tom there. from midday, we're going to be talking in a minute to former chief ethics lawyer for the

white house about the assassination attempt on trump. don't go anywhere. this is britain's

>> hello. welcome back. 1138 ben and bev with you on britain's newsroom. only on gb news. >> so , as you probably know by >> so, as you probably know by now, former us donald trump escaped an assassination attempt last night. >> he's now spoken out and he's on his life as he called for unity, claiming that god alone saved him. >> but i mean, lots of questions, the least being what went wrong? how could the gunman be allowed to get so close to donald trump and fire off those shots? so joining us now is richard painter, the chief ethics lawyer. during george w bush's administration across the pond. good morning to you. thank you for joining pond. good morning to you. thank you forjoining us, richard, first of all, this has opened up a pandora's box of all sorts of questions about the secret service, the security detail. what about the gun law debate?

has this sparked any conversation on the access to guns across, in the us ? guns across, in the us? >> well, i would hope so, because one of the reasons the security was so terrible here is that the secret service and other law enforcement agencies, didn't take care to make sure that there was no, opportunity for someone with a long—range rifle, to be able to shoot at the stage where the former president was. and here was this building, that. yes, was outside the secret service perimeter, on a rooftop. but clearly they should have had a secret service man or some other law enforcement officer up there instead of allowing the assassin, to be there, and in the united states, just about anybody could obtain, a semiautomatic weapon, a, assault rifle of this type, very, very easily. and here apparently,

the, assassins, his father bought the weapon, but indeed, he could have bought it himself, even though he's age 20, and in much of the united states, you have to be age 21 to buy a can of beer, but, not an assault weapon, our gun laws are extremely lax . and, we've been extremely lax. and, we've been talking about this issue for a long time, since president john f kennedy was assassinated in 1963. that's over 60 years ago. and, we have made very, very little headway. we all we have is a lot more guns out there, and, i think that americans are really very tired of the gun violence, whether it's the school shootings , other mass school shootings, other mass shootings, or here, political assassination attempts, it's a serious issue, we need to protect the right of law abiding gun owners to, to have a gun. that's constitutional right in the united states, but , the the united states, but, the complete lack of any regulation

that's effective, here for assault weapons. it's a big, big problem. >> richard. >> richard. >> robert kennedy jr, who obviously wants to wants to win as an independent, presidential candidate. and now donald trump himself have both been saying that they've been reaching out to biden and beseeching him to give them more security detail because of this rhetoric and because of this rhetoric and because the temperature has been running so high in american politics, will this change things, do you think for either of those men ? of those men? >> i do think that there's going to be a lot more, secret service? detail, a lot more security at these events, now, the question is , do we need more the question is, do we need more secret service agents? well, yes . secret service agents? well, yes. but, this one, this situation really should have been a no brainer, this, building got a rooftop, and the rooftop should have been secured, rather than them simply saying that's outside the secret service, perimeter, we all know that

long—range rifles, assault weapons are easy to obtain in the united states . and there's the united states. and there's very little by way of background check. very little by way of background check . and here's a very, check. and here's a very, mentally disturbed person, who would do this type of thing. can easily get a hold of a weapon, and you know, we're not going to fix our gun laws overnight, there's a lot of political opposition to that, at least at a minimum, we could make the effort to secure the entire area where there's going to be a political rally, with the former president of the united states. >> yeah. politically richard, the polls are now suggesting. and the chatterati, suggesting that the election now is pretty much nailed on for donald trump . much nailed on for donald trump. i'm not sure if you agree with that conclusion. >> well , there have been some >> well, there have been some issues in the democratic party where, they need to think through whether, president biden is going to run again for re—election. >> it looks like he definitely

wants to stick with that plan . wants to stick with that plan. and, we're going to see how the next debate goes, and also at the end of the day , there are a the end of the day, there are a lot of issues that the american voters care about, and also the character of the candidates and, and the rhetoric of the candidates. and, you know, i think president biden has a very goodidea think president biden has a very good idea of trying to tone down the rhetoric. now, let's just see if donald trump wants to do that or ratchet it up , and then that or ratchet it up, and then we'll see what what the american people want, for the next four years, do you see biden as as being forced or encouraged to step down before the election? richard, i say that there's been some of that in the democratic party. but, the president biden is quite intent on running. he has a lot of supporters in the democratic party. and then there's always the risk. if he were to step back of a fight over who , would be the

over who, would be the successor, i mean, the vice president of the united states is the natural, person to take over. is the natural, person to take over . certainly would take over over. certainly would take over if he were to resign in office, and yet there are other politicians. the governor of michigan and others, who, of course, are eyeing the top spot on the ticket either this time or in 2028. and so i'm not sure the democrats want to go through that kind of a, internal squabble, really , very, very squabble, really, very, very shortly before the election . shortly before the election. >> yeah. richard, you've got, i guess, gavin newsom , as you guess, gavin newsom, as you mentioned, the governor of california. but i went to san francisco last year, and i was i mean to say shocked is an understatement. so i'm not sure how he'd reflect across the entire nation. what about someone like michelle obama? would that cause a serious cog in the works for the trump campaign ? campaign? >> well, i don't think that that type of a change last minute, would, would appeal to voters, >> you know, we elect a president or vice president. and

if the, the president, is incapacitated , then, you know, incapacitated, then, you know, the vice president takes over. and so, you know, i think the democrats have the team, they have the president who's done a very, very good job, in many ways, i don't agree with, some of his policies, but he's he's been effective. he's just a lot older. and we have a vice president. and, i think that you know, they basically that's the ticket that, won the election in 2020. and has won the primaries. and if president biden were to change his mind and, they're i think running, kamala harris is probably their what they really need to do where they haven't had a primary, where people would look at the other candidates, and of course, you know, running someone who has never held public office, is would probably be extremely risky. although the republicans in 2016 ran a man who never held pubuc in 2016 ran a man who never held public office, donald trump. and they did quite well .

they did quite well. >> okay. thank you so much for joining us, richard painter, chief ethics lawyer during george w bush's administration. there >> okay. still to come meet one of the kent locals taking on the big london firm that's trying to install a mass of solar panels near their leafy village. this britain's newsroom on gb

tick. >> right story. now, which i imagine we might be seeing more of these in the next few years. because residents in kent are fighting back as a london firm are set to roll out a huge amount of solar panels. it's near aldington in kent, spanning the equivalent of 250 football pitches . pitches. >> so imagine having to live next to that. and they're not alone either. more and more energy firms are striking similar deals with councils. as the country tries to meet the net zero emissions target by 2050. >> so let's talk now to campaigner jonathan tenant from aldington and mersham support group . thank you so much for group. thank you so much for joining us, jonathan. right.

give us a little bit of backstory about this. what is the situation and what are you campaigning about? >> well, this is a scheme which has been in the offing now for more than two years. and it comprises about 500 acres, as you're saying, 258 football pitches , and it has within the pitches, and it has within the last week or so been accepted by the planning inspectorate as, coming forward for consideration by the inspectorate at examination, we have been trying to fight against this for some time, and we're now into the next stage. and that means, that parties will need to register their interest if they wish to appear at the examination. >> jonathan, you say you've been fighting this for years, and it's only kind of moved on in the last week or so. is that anything to do with the new labour government ? labour government? >> no, it's a process, this applicant has taken an enormous

time to bring this application to us. it's been like a cloud holding hanging over our two villages, for two years now, they promised the application last autumn, and it finally, it finally came in, very recently . finally came in, very recently. and, it's been through, it's been with the planning inspectorate for 28 days. they have judged it suitable for going through to examination . we going through to examination. we feel the consultation process was woefully inadequate. the details of the scheme are only now coming to light. there's 180 now coming to light. there's180 pages, 180 documents, each of which are many, many pages long. there's literally thousands of pages. and this is part of the tactics i'm afraid of these developers who seek to really swamp us in information, and only very few of us will read the full details and the full enormity of what this scheme is going to mean affecting our villages for the next 40 years. >> let me play devil's advocate, jonathan. we've play devil's advocate for a minute, so

presumably we'll give you maybe cheaper electricity locally, jobs for the area. am i right? >> i'm afraid. i'm afraid you're not really , the situation here not really, the situation here is that the local jobs, once this scheme is built, will be tiny. and while it's being built, they'll be imported with all their various expertise. we're looking at 200, staff on site with all the implications for local road structure , let for local road structure, let alone the hgvs that are going to be bringing this equipment in over a period of at least 12 months of disruption, and we can look forward during the 40 years to, these panels being replaced when new and better technology comes forward. so it's not the end of the story. and in the meantime, our public rights of way there are about a dozen that are directly affected by this scheme are completely transformed. so the enjoyment that people have of living in a country where they chose to live is going to be changed. there's no local plan process. these

schemes literally exocet in on sites like this which are close to a connection site and we are there trying to fight them and trying to clip their wings. and much of this is on a hillside so incredibly visible locally , incredibly visible locally, >> okay. >> okay. >> campaigner jonathan tennant from aldington and mersham, thank you very much from the support group. the campaign group to stop that massive solar farm. >> i build. if we've got to have more solar panels, can we not just put them in already concrete concreted areas? that's i hate the idea that they're across the beautiful british countryside. let's have see what spokesperson from evolution said we are aware there are some members of the community that are opposed to the scheme, and we've made significant changes to the project design to address these concerns, three rounds of consultations have taken place. >> they went on. we are not aware of any significant changes to the project designed to address these concerns. three rounds of consultations have already taken place . okay. yeah, already taken place. okay. yeah, interesting. i mentioned at the

top of the show, you know, scotland. infamously, the snp felled 14 million trees to make way for wind farms. so are you being green? are you caring about the environment and nature, or do you just want to whack up these ghastly instruments? >> we need more energy security. there's no doubt about it. we need a beautiful british landscape that isn't spoilt. i think also by wind turbines and solar panels as well, and i'm slightly chilled by the look in the eye of ed miliband, who suddenly got so excited about this prospect that he's going to basically build over all of our green countryside . right. that green countryside. right. that is it for today. we'll be back tomorrow, won't we? >> and all week, in place of andrew pearson holiday early. emily rather. how's your weather? see you tomorrow. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello. good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather update brought to you from the met office. a very wet day to

come for much of england and wales with weather warnings in force. warmer further north than it has been lately. that's because we're between weather systems for northern areas. but to the south we've got low pressure approaching and these weather fronts moving into the south coast. that's where the heaviest rain will be around lunchtime. we've got a band of pulses of heavy rain pushing in through south—west england and into wales . they'll also arrive into wales. they'll also arrive into wales. they'll also arrive into the south—east later on this afternoon , now further this afternoon, now further north. and that should stay much mostly dry across northern ireland, much of scotland. there's a risk of the odd shower across southeastern scotland, but it's going to be a warmer day here. temperatures climbing towards the low 20s. so a big difference from the weekend for northern areas. meanwhile, across the south it remains wet overnight tonight. now it should be a bright evening tonight across much of scotland . clear across much of scotland. clear skies across western areas in particular. as i said, there is a risk of some quite heavy showers, possibly some thundery downpours across southeastern scotland, but most areas should stay dry for scotland and northern ireland. now this rain pushes up into northern england by the time we get into this

evening , so there could be some evening, so there could be some water on the roads. if you are travelling around across england and wales through this evening, it does clear away to the north and east overnight tonight, but it will likely return through the night, with further pulses of rain becoming a bit more focused across parts of wales towards lincolnshire as well, with the rain warning still in force through much of the night into tuesday morning here. so there'll be a lot of cloud around overnight. not too much of a breeze though, so under clear skies it will be a little bit fresher, but most areas staying up in the mid teens, so a fairly mild start if you do catch any sunshine first thing on tuesday we'll feel quite warm, but for most of us it's going to be another cloudy and wet start to the day, particularly across parts of north eastern england where the rain will likely persist. now there's another risk of showers moving into southeastern areas of scotland, and a rain warning in force here. but again, temperatures a little bit higher and

gb. news >> well .

>> well. >> well. >> good afternoon. britain. it's 12:00 on monday, the 15th of july. i'm tom harwood, and i'm emily carver is the political temperature too high? nigel farage has said the rhetoric of the left is encouraging people to political violence. this is a defiant trump arrives in milwaukee, wisconsin, for the republican national convention. >> lamy in the middle east. the new foreign secretary has been meeting the leaders of both israel and the palestinian authority, calling for an immediate ceasefire. but is anyone listening ? anyone listening? >> and should southgate be shown the door as england gets so close and yet so far from a trophy for the second time in just three years, is the england manager a genius or a liability? we'll speak to someone who's had that thankless job beforehand .
