tv   Good Afternoon Britain  GB News  July 15, 2024 12:00pm-3:01pm BST

12:00 pm
>> 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 .
12:01 pm
that thankless job beforehand. >> yeah. we're interested to know what you make of nigel farage's comments. these are comments that he's. well, he said actually on the show yesterday, didn't he? but also in a telegraph column this morning, essentially saying that the left in america have been so excessive with their language. you know , comparing donald trump you know, comparing donald trump to hitler, saying he's a dictator, saying he's an existential threat to democracy , existential threat to democracy, that this may well be why political violence and threats may be on the rise. >> but is this putting the cart before the horse? we don't yet know what the motive of the of the would be assassin was in this case. and to me, looking at the sort of facts as we know them, he's got more of a profile of a school shooter than a deeply political , radicalised deeply political, radicalised individual . and do we do we say individual. and do we do we say that sort of political, rhetoric encourages school shootings? i'm not sure. i think these are people just with very small shootings, very different, isn't
12:02 pm
it? >> they're not trying to kill the president or former president of the united states. you can't really compare the two. yes, it may be in this case that this has nothing to do with political rhetoric and how hot it's got over in america, but it may well be a contributing factor. i think the thing is, if it if it was president joe biden and this attempted assassination had been against him, i imagine a lot of people on the left would be calling for censorship online, would be saying social media needs to be taken down. there needs to be, you know, you shouldn't be able to post nasty things about politicians and the like. so yes, i don't want to be a hypocrite. yeah, but i think it's undeniable that the rhetoric in america has been absolutely absurd over trump . absolutely absurd over trump. absolutely nazi sympathiser kkk , absolutely nazi sympathiser kkk, dictator, hitler, etcetera, etcetera. but i suppose a bit much, don't you think? >> but is there, is there not a free speech argument here as well that, i mean, should we really be wanting to sort of censor political speech? it's a really interesting and controversial debate and one will be having throughout the programme. yes, we will indeed. >> so get your thoughts in gbnews.com/yoursay but first,
12:03 pm

meanwhile, president biden has appealed to americans to lower the political temperature. speaking from the oval office, he called on everyone to take a step back. biden has faced criticism for repeatedly claiming that trump poses a threat to democracy . now he's threat to democracy. now he's saying it's time to cool it down. back here, the shadow foreign secretary, andrew mitchell, told us. it's made everyone think about politicians safety. >> president biden put it very well from the oval office when 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 is appearing in court

12:06 pm
final. many fans say they're disappointed with gareth southgate's management style, but he says now is not the time to decide his future. southgate has praised his players but says spain did deserve to win. >> our players have been incredible. they've given, everybody some incredible nights. they couldn't have given any more in terms of their effort, their desire , their effort, their desire, their character. tonight we fell short. we didn't keep the ball well enough. but, you know, the players have pushed it till the 85th minute of the final game. they've been incredible really well, a mixed reaction from england fans. >> the supporters in newcastle spoke after the game a bit quiet, 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. i mean, i think of it, it's okay. it didn't make shrubs earlier, but he made the right subs this
12:07 pm
time. but it just didn't come across. i reckon he'll retire this time . different manager, this time. different manager, different team will come across better. i think you should stay. you've done really well, mate , right? >> regardless of everything you've done . you've done. >> fantastic. thank you very much, pal. >> keep it up. i hope he should stay. >> yeah, i think we all tried to manifest the win, but it didn't work. 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 forward slash alerts . forward slash alerts. >> good afternoon britain. it is seven minutes past midday and donald trump has made a plea for unity after he survived an assassination attempt over the weekend, calling on americans to not let evil win .
12:08 pm
not let evil win. >> however, many republicans are claiming that joe biden's campaign rhetoric led to the assassination attempt after the 81 year old reportedly said it was time to put trump in a bull's eye. >> well, for his part, president biden has condemned the attack on donald trump. addressing the nafion on donald trump. addressing the nation from the oval office last night, he told americans that politics must never become a killing field and called on the temperature in politics to be lowered. >> yes, he did. now let's discuss this further with gb news reporter charlie peters . news reporter charlie peters. charlie, just remind us of what's happened since this assassination attempt. >> well, both candidates have tried to strike a more presidential tone in their addresses to the nation. it's interesting from that address, from the oval office last night, obviously from a teleprompter, biden calling for unity, calling for politics to not be like a battlefield or, god forbid, a killing field . but he also did killing field. but he also did stumble over a couple of lines. he referred to him as former trump, not former president trump. and he also said that in
12:09 pm
america, we settle our differences at the battle box, not the ballot box. he said. battle box twice and at the same time , president trump has not time, president trump has not used the same language that he has in the past to attack democrats striking . as i said democrats striking. as i said before, a more presidential tone, slightly more measured. we've also seen that from melania trump offering messages of love in quite an emotional and rather passionate statement issued on a headed letter. though there has been a move away in the national language and the conversation in the states, the democrats have pulled any attack ads as the republican national convention goes ahead . and perhaps critics goes ahead. and perhaps critics of trump might say that the reason why he's speaking in a more gentle language is because he's letting his attack dogs go. for the democrats . now. now for the democrats. now. now you're talking about the violence inspired by language that's very much aligned, being pushed by those close to president trump, jd vance, who is likely to be his running mate selected soon, did say that the
12:10 pm
language used by the left had inspired directly the attempted assassination on saturday. trump's eldest son said that the left aligned media and democrats had designated trump as literally hitler. so very strong statements from those sides. meanwhile, on the democratic side, there has been a reduction in those attacks and this has come actually, you know, in many ways it's helpful for trump. he's had an he's likely to see a significant poll jump. now, having been grazed but not dazed by that bullet on saturday, but also for president biden's team in the days before this attempted assassination, they were resisting their own move to have him replaced as the democratic nominee be quite helpful for biden sort of rowing back staying. >> but it's also more traditional. it used to be the case that there was this unspoken pact between the democrats and the republicans. when the republicans had their four year annual, not annual, but every four year convention,
12:11 pm
the democrats would shut up and not talk. and when the democrats had their convention, the republicans would shut up and not talk. that broke down in the last decade. but it could be that we're returning to that perhaps greater level of civility. >> yeah, greater level of civility. but inspired on the back of an appalling act of extreme violence that's killed at least one person and has left others in a stable but critical condition in hospital, an appalling incident occurring there on saturday, an appalling incident that might benefit both presidential nominees because it really did look like biden was on the ropes from his own team last week. from those plotting to remove him, they've now been sidelined as this move to reduce the coarsening of political efforts goes on. he's also been attacked. president biden, for , attacked. president biden, for, as you've mentioned in your intro, reportedly saying on a phone call to donors that they needed to put trump in the bull's eye, and that's generated this wider discussion about violent language in politics. >> we're just having a look at the moment, at the white house.
12:12 pm
it looks beautiful, i must say, a very calm day there. yeah. >> do you see morning, biden returned to dc because he was meant to be on holiday in in delaware, but he's obviously cut that short. he's back in the white house now. yeah. >> that's right. and as you said, tom, going through that process of a period of silence dunng process of a period of silence during an opponent's convention, an old school, an old fashioned move, but it's no doubt they wanted to use this opportunity to put the spotlight on attacking mr trump. >> now we're talking about dialling down the rhetoric. but i must say, some of the reaction on social media, i mean extreme to the extreme. just a little warning that this might be a little shouty. i just want to give you a little taste of some of the reaction from some on the left. i guess. >> miss those one shot at greatness to be mentioned in the history books, and you miss the shot. >> i haven't even had a second to process. you're telling me somebody finally had the balls
12:13 pm
to bring up you and him? this we were a second away. >> we were a centimetre away from half of the problem being gone. from half of the problem being gone . and you missed. gone. and you missed. >> i'm not saying that i would ever try to assassinate a presidential candidate. all i'm saying is that if i went through all of that trouble, i wouldn't miss. >> well, sorry for those outbursts, but i think it's important to show just how this has been received. i mean, these are appear to be immediate reactions to what we saw. america is hopelessly divided. i mean, is it possible , is it mean, is it possible, is it possible that this could be a turning point? well, there have been four attempted assassin or successful assassinations on sitting presidents in history. >> the most recent one was 1981, attempted on president ronald reagan . just in the first few reagan. just in the first few months of his presidency. he enjoyed an eight poll bounce . enjoyed an eight poll bounce. after that, and the points as he recovered from that incident after major surgery. now, in many ways, we've been enormously
12:14 pm
lucky that this incident on saturday could not and did not go any worse. amid significant criticism about a lax as many critics are saying. secret service security operation. the perimeter not being sufficient. while many people are very concerned about the security side, there is emily, a lot of focus on the wider political language. now, the front line democrats are certainly calling for that civility and unity. you heard it from president biden there. our politics can't become a battlefield. it has to remain an issue of arguments and ideas , an issue of arguments and ideas, not violence. but it's clear, isn't it, that there have been many online away from the mainstream who lamented the fact that that bullet missed, that it was just a graze, that it was just the ear and it's, you know, we were millimetres from really something unspeakably atrocious. >> and we should say that very sadly, one man did lose his life . sadly, one man did lose his life. reportedly, he was shielding his family. yeah very distressing
12:15 pm
indeed.thank family. yeah very distressing indeed. thank you. charlie peters out as always. >> well, let's get some more now from the spokesperson for republicans overseas uk, jennifer ewing. because, jennhen jennifer ewing. because, jennifer, this is all in the context of the republican national convention. we're expecting trump to speak at that this week. and really, it's changed the entire tone of this official nominating convention. >> it has . and actually, he was >> it has. and actually, he was planning on delaying his trip to wisconsin for a couple of days. and then he came out yesterday on truth social and said, no, i'm going as planned, this isn't going to get me down. so i think he's going to go in there, you know, with a great attitude. i mean, anybody who watched his reaction after being shot and almost killed in that assassination attempt, where he gets up, puts his fist in the air, looks at his supporters to let them know he's okay. it's incredible. it's brave. it's courageous . it's.
12:16 pm
incredible. it's brave. it's courageous. it's. it's incredible. it's brave. it's courageous . it's. it's something courageous. it's. it's something you can't teach. people either have that fight or flight instinct and he's a fighter. we've seen that. and as a matter of fact, he said fight, fight. so, i think a lot of people there were really proud of him. i think it's something we've been missing as a nation over the last few years is strength, not only for our country , but on not only for our country, but on the world stage as well. >> jennifer, what do you make of the. sorry to interrupt, but what do you make of the claim by, many, many republicans and commentators and nigel farage here in the uk that it's this, political rhetoric from the left that has got quite extreme, that that has got quite extreme, that that may have contributed to this political violence. what do you make of that? >> sure. so, okay, let's be clear . the person >> sure. so, okay, let's be clear. the person responsible for the attempted assassination is the shooter. and the shooter alone . however, if people are alone. however, if people are only consuming mainstream media and they have been told since trump descended upon those stairs in 2016 that he is a
12:17 pm
dictator, that he is a fascist, that he is like hitler, that if he gets re—elected in 2024, it could be our last election and democracy at risk. if you are constantly told that by mainstream media, by the biden administration, by political punst administration, by political pundits , yeah, i'm sure there pundits, yeah, i'm sure there are people out there that thought, oh my god, it's my duty to, you know , protect the world to, you know, protect the world from this awful man. and again , from this awful man. and again, we don't know the mood or the motive of the shooter. as you said. but of course, there's a link. absolutely. and the rhetoric needs to be toned down. one thing that, that i have found a little, problematic. shall we say, coming from biden in particular in his speeches, is that he's not just being critical of trump. he's critical of maga supporters , america of maga supporters, america first, and he goes straight after the voters, which, i'm sorry, is half the country you know, and we recall when hillary
12:18 pm
clinton called half the country deplorables. i think you, tom, and emily and i, we've spoken about this in the past. why go after the voters? you know, if you want to go after your political opponent, fine. but don't call half the country crazy or racist or, you know, wanting to end democracy because they happen to prefer trump's good policies on the economy, on the southern border and hopefully trying to clean up this foreign policy mess. the biden administration has gotten us into now, jennifer, we're looking inside the convention centre in milwaukee, of course, very, very early hours of the morning , still very, very early hours of the morning, still in very, very early hours of the morning , still in wisconsin. morning, still in wisconsin. >> but this is going to fill up with a lot of energised republicans over the course of the day . and do you think that the day. and do you think that this will be a more passionate convention than would otherwise be the case? >> absolutely. and look, trump always draws big crowds, as you know. you know, he's a former
12:19 pm
reality television star. he's, he's an entertainer. my colleague and a friend of the show, greg swenson . i spoke to show, greg swenson. i spoke to him earlier today and last night. he's there in milwaukee. he said the atmosphere already starting last night was incredible. people really fired up. they're happy. they're hopeful that, trump is going to be our next president in 2024. like you said earlier. or charlie said he's also going to announce his, vice presidential candidate. i like that charlie, thinks it might be j.d. vance because that's who i'd like him to choose as well. the senator from ohio, who became famous as you may or may not remember, for writing a book called hillbilly elegy in 2015 and kind of sparked off, explained a lot of the trump phenomenon back in 2016. >> well, thank you very much indeed for your time. jennifer ewing, always great to speak to you. spokesperson for republicans overseas uk. >> we really interesting to see who is picked as this, as this
12:20 pm
running mate, jd vance, of course, very , very aligned with course, very, very aligned with trump. but from ohio is that sort of reaching out to the rust belt, although ohio has voted republican now for the last two presidential elections, i think what jennifer said, though, about the person, the perpetrator of this crime is the only one responsible for it. >> but the political mood, the political rhetoric can't help. can't help. >> well, much, much more to discuss on that and many other stories too. coming up, what's next for gareth southgate? should he step down as england manager and what could he have done differently? well, who better to ask than a former england manager? yes, that's coming up after this short
12:21 pm
12:22 pm
12:23 pm
break. >> sorry to say again, but it
12:24 pm
was so near yet so far. the three lions were, of course, defeated two one by spain in the final of euro 2024. yes, meaning england's 58 years of hurt will continue. i don't like reading that out. no. >> it's painful, it's painful. >> it's painful, it's painful. >> it's painful, it's painful. >> it's painful. >> it's painful. >> well, the defeat has also triggered fresh conversations about the future of manager gareth southgate, with many speculating that yesterday's match was the final time we will see gareth southgate on the england manager's bench. >> or is it well , who better to >> or is it well, who better to speak to about this then? former england manager sam allardyce? sam, thank you so much for coming on the show this afternoon. really great to speak to you. so i guess the first thing we want to focus on, gareth southgate, because i'm sick of hearing about our loss. it's just all a bit depressing . it's just all a bit depressing. so gareth, do you think this will be his last international tournament managing the england team ? team? >> personally, i think it'll be his choice. i think i think that the fa would like to keep him on. i think so i think that, his choice, saying it's too early to
12:25 pm
think about his future means that he needs to get home. he needs to talk to the family. he needs to talk to the family. he needs to talk to the family. he needs to address , what's needs to address, what's happened over the last eight years. and, of course , it's been years. and, of course, it's been it's been pretty good. apart from the final hurdle, not being a better manager, i don't think since sir alf ramsey. so he's got a lot to think about on, the eight years he's had 102 games. is it? and, not quite managing to get over the line to win a tournament. so it's a lot to think about. so i certainly think about. so i certainly think it'll be his choice rather than the fas. and certainly if he does choose to step down, he can look back fondly on the career he's had. >> this is the peculiar duality of the whole thing, really, that that gareth southgate has objectively got the england team further in this particular competition than they have ever been before. two finals in three years, really incredible stuff , years, really incredible stuff, but also we haven't quite yet
12:26 pm
got over that winning line. so has he been a fantastic manager, the best manager that we've seen since the 1960s, or has he been disappointing? >> oh, no. i think that, from my point of view, the only real disappointment would have been, at wembley against italy , that at wembley against italy, that team, was the italian team was so poor that i think that that was the big chance to win on our home soil. win, win the euros. because when you look at the italian team, since then, since that italian team, it didn't qualify for the world cup and it not got knocked out in the group stages on these euros. so that that was the big the big question mark over. did gareth do the subs right? did it's been a constant pressure on him about substitutions and changing tactics . so but he's his own
12:27 pm
tactics. so but he's his own man. he knows what he wants. he knows how he's going to do it his own way. and i think in the end, it hasn't quite worked at the final hurdle. now what we have to face is that on this tournament, spain were much better than we were. and i don't know as any manager, would have gone against spain on that day and beat them. the only way you could have beat that, that spanish team was by defending deep and playing the counter attacking football . only when attacking football. only when you got the opportunity . and, you got the opportunity. and, and unfortunately, after after a brief fight back, which looked very exciting for a while and they, they drifted away back into, into lethargic pressing, lethargic, shutting down which gave a lot of, a lot of confidence back to the spanish side that finally, finally won. >> well, you've done the job before. would you have done anything differently taught there about more more on the
12:28 pm
defence side, we'd evolved . defence side, we'd evolved. >> we all do it. well, certainly. we all do it our own way. i mean, you know, i probably wouldn't have picked the same squad as gareth. gareth probably won't pick the same squad as me . the next manager is squad as me. the next manager is a different manager, won't pick the same squad as me or gareth. so we pick who we think is the best players available at the moment. the best players in form and hopefully we don't get too many injuries. i think there's a there's a few players missed this tournament that would have benefited england had they not been injured . so you know that been injured. so you know that that that is a bit of a shame. but that happens to everybody. but that happens to everybody. but it's certainly a very good squad and there are a few young players on a positive note, like manu and gay and palmer that have come through and shown what they can do. i mean, there's nobody mentioning gay. he has been probably the best defender in the whole tournament. he has never let england down at all. so, you know, it's a bright spot from a defensive point of view
12:29 pm
for england. but certainly the balance between this time, the balance between this time, the balance between this time, the balance between attacking and defending, defending very good attacking. this time a little bit lacklustre unfortunately. >> although that being said there were so many tantalising occasions when the ball just almost went in when we almost got that sort of two one stage back when it was one all, and things were just so tense in the final 15 minutes or so of the game. if, if the hand of history had been ever so slightly different, if a butterfly had flapped its wings in south america and the ball's spun in a slightly different way, this could have been a very different conversation today . conversation today. >> well, listen, listen. the big turning point was a double double on the line clearance from spain that got in and made it two two and got into extra time. who knows what would have happened. but at the end it didn't happen. it happened to us all through the tournament. we
12:30 pm
had last ditch tackles, last ditch headers, last ditch goals, last discordance free kicks. we had a lot of this stuff in this tournament. unfortunately, we couldn't find the last ditch effort to get us through into the winning a winning position . the winning a winning position. and, even if we took it to penalties, i would have fancied us this time, >> it was that number 17 on the spanish side had my eye on him the whole time. if i'd been the manager, i would have said just just never let him get the ball. he was a danger from the start. he's a danger. something junior. what's his name? i don't know, you probably don't know anyway . you probably don't know anyway. he was. he was the threat. >> well , sam allardyce, thank >> well, sam allardyce, thank you so much for talking through what was a remarkable game and a remarkable season as well for the team . thank you so much for the team. thank you so much for coming on it. >> it's it must be the most stressful job in the world. i mean one of i'm sure you know, prime minister's quite stressful too, but more eyeballs on the england manager than. >> yeah, that's true, that's true.
12:31 pm
>> and possibly more interest . >> and possibly more interest. anyway, coming up, buckingham palace confirms the king has written to donald trump after the assassination attempt over the assassination attempt over the weekend . and in the last the weekend. and in the last half hour, the prince and princess of wales have written a personal letter to gareth southgate. we'll have the latest after your headlines with ray . after your headlines with ray. >> many thanks. 1231 our top stories the king has written to donald trump following an assassination attempt in pennsylvania on saturday. the letter was delivered by the uk embassy in washington, dc . 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 families and wished the former president a quick recovery . well, donald trump has recovery. well, donald trump has arrived in milwaukee ahead of the republican national convention, where he'll be formally nominated as his party's presidential candidate. over the next few days, he'll reveal his vp running mate and

didn't get to to travel germany like their big brother to watch the match in person with their father, prince william. that's, of course, george, but if you look at the numbers on the back, that's their ages. so princess charlotte is nine, prince louis is six. the princess of wales took the photograph. we believe it was in windsor. and that must be their private adelaide cottage. we're led to believe, a really kind of lovely photograph showing that the children very being very patriotic, watching the england game , but of course the england game, but of course a bit of a disappointment, i'm sure the king of spain, who was also in the crowd in berlin, was also in the crowd in berlin, was a bit more happy at the end of the match, and prince william and prince george were. >> i thought it was an allusion to ,1.96 win. of course, england got again. so close, but yet so far after 30 years of hurt. >> yeah, you're going to trump me on my football knowledge here, tom. i'm afraid it's the ages. here, tom. i'm afraid it's the ages . yeah, i think the first ages. yeah, i think the first time i've ever trumped anyone on any football knowledge at all. >> no, well, aren't they lucky having their personalised shirts? >> but of course, prince george was at the match himself.
12:39 pm
>> yeah, he was. and actually, there's some really lovely photographs of prince william and prince george at the match in the royal box. lots of people annoyed online that prince george was forced to wear a suit rather than the england shirt, like his two siblings there. i think you're the future king. you're in the royal box. you kind of have to wear a suit. the other boys understand this wearing a suit, this debate, i mean, i quite like the justice for louis meme that's been going around. >> this is because louis was the only one who didn't go to a sporting event in real life. yeah but he's very young. he is quite young. >> yeah, well, he's six years old, as you saw on that shirt. i'm sure he would have been much more comfortable. sat in his own lounge watching it with his mother and sister. but you're right, prince louis did miss out on both wimbledon and, and the euros match. but of course, he is very young, so perhaps they were giving him a evening off or a week. >> he also does tend to become the star of the show whenever he's put in a box, whether it's the royal balcony or anything else. he sort of fidgets and moves his hands around like he's sort of dancing and yeah, and going , and i sort of dancing and yeah, and going, and i don't know, sort of dancing and yeah, and going , and i don't know, maybe, going, and i don't know, maybe, maybe they didn't want to sort of show that.
12:40 pm
>> well, possibly. i mean, he was in the royal for box the, for the platinum jubilee celebration. so he had a little bit of a tantrum when he was four years old. then, of course, he's got him trooping back in junein he's got him trooping back in june in the wellington office, where he was doing a little bit of a dance, princess charlotte telling him off, princess, the princess of wales, just kind of laughing it off. so i think it depends who you ask, but i'm sure when he gets a bit older he might attend these sporting matches. >> we've all had a little tantrum in the royal box, haven't we, tom, okay, so what else is going on this trip to the channel islands? >> yes. >> yes. >> well, a busy week, really, for the king and queen. not only are they in the channel islands today and tomorrow, jersey and guernsey visiting both bailiwicks, but of course, the king is going to have to be back in london for the state opening of parliament on wednesday. he's still got undergoing cancer treatment and he's going to australia, buckingham palace confirms today. and samoa back in october. so a lot to unpack here. but jersey and guernsey of course have huge historic links to the royal family, not part of the united kingdom of course, but they still have the king as head of state. it's the first visit of a reigning monarch since 2005. the first visit of
12:41 pm
charles and camilla since 2012, dunng charles and camilla since 2012, during the late queen's diamond jubilee. so although the united kingdom not getting a bank houday kingdom not getting a bank holiday because we lost the england match, jersey and guernsey both getting bank holidays for the visits of the king and queen. so they're separate governments. of course they're not governed by the united kingdom. have voted to give them a bank holiday. >> we should have won two. >> we should have won two. >> they're all very happy and excited in channel islands. but the rain is not great, but new photographs released today of the king and queen wearing australian insignia and new zealand insignia ahead of the royal visit in october, but not going to new zealand, right? >> that's been sort of slightly reduced, but still a pretty gruelling schedule. yeah. >> so it is because of the king's ongoing cancer treatment . king's ongoing cancer treatment. so new zealand's being skipped and they're only going to australia. and then of course samoa for the commonwealth heads of government meeting in october. i'm also told by a buckingham palace spokesperson that it's going to be kind of scaled back. so usually for a state visit or a royal international tour, you do, you know, eight engagements, a day. i believe it's going to be a lot shorter than that, maybe 2 or 3,
12:42 pm
something like that. >> and we're going to have to leave it there. but i do want to ask you in a little bit about this statement from the king regarding donald trump. the attempted assassination, and also the message to gareth southgate, too. thank you very much indeed. cameron walker, our royal correspondent. >> the reason we had to cut that short is they head straight to downing street, where christopher hope, our political editor , is fresh from a briefing editor, is fresh from a briefing with the prime minister's official spokesman. chris, what can you tell us? >> oh, hi, tom. hi, emily. >> oh, hi, tom. hi, emily. >> that's right. >> that's right. >> well, it's the morning after the english football defeat. >> keir starmer on the way back or he's back in uk now. he met yesterday with olaf scholz, the german chancellor, and pedro sanchez, the spanish prime minister, on the margins of the football. but the main focus was on football. no word yet on a knighthood from gareth southgate to upgrade his obe. he's of course he's taken us to one world cup semi—final and ,2 semi—finals in his time as as the head coach of the english team . but yeah, he's team. but yeah, he's disappointed. of course we know all that and he wishes them all
12:43 pm
the best. a big football fan of course. the big news for lobby, though, i think, is the reverberations of the attempted assassination of donald trump on saturday in america. as of today, the home office is going today, the home office is going to contact any mps, candidates, who who were threatened or suffered intimidation during the election campaign and see how they can take it further, how they can take it further, how they can take it further, how they can make that better. they obviously are very concerned about the idea , the tone of about the idea, the tone of language on social media, the pressure put on mps and candidate mps, but formally candidates locally by other people and they want to get a grip on this quickly. i think the concern might be that there could be some, some kind of degree of copycat behaviour, not to the extent of shooting that kind of thing, but certainly lowering the tone in politics in this country like president biden wants it lowered in america . america. >> he fascinating there that not only members of parliament, but those who stood to be members of parliament, people who didn't win seats will also be contacted by the police. the government seems to be taking this
12:44 pm
incredibly seriously . incredibly seriously. >> yeah they are. i mean, of course we do know that sir keir starmer, the prime minister, had a chat with former president trump yesterday a 5 or 10 minute conversation, very brief, when he when he touched down in germany after he flew there. so we are reaching out to the team around trump and trying to make sure that we do know how serious it was. and all the politics really across the atlantic, uk and us and elsewhere is trying to step back from some of that divisive language that we saw in this country, during the election. and i think the home office is going to get a grip on that and look into the cases and see what more needs to be done. we're not sure the scale of that, whether it's a big team, whether it involves police, what the scale of the number of officials involved. but certainly it shows the government is getting on the front foot, i think, on political intimidation. >> we're going to be talking about this a little later on in the show. but any word on david lammy, our foreign secretary's trip to the middle east? >> no. not yet. no, we haven't
12:45 pm
had a readout from that those meetings yet. no, we don't know that at all. we knew he was going there. of course, he he's keen to be seen as a broker to try and work out how to bring those two sides together, whether he can will wait and see. also, i should say on international travel, emily, nick thomas—symonds has gone to brussels today for talks about binding the uk and eu together again, he's the he's the european union. negotiator. he's the person who's trying to get the person who's trying to get the uk and eu eu closer together. so hopefully that that that will, that will lead to some further rapprochement. notably no mention of the word brexit in his tweets. i wonder if brexit is now a dirty word for this government. we'll wait and see. >> absolutely fascinating . nick >> absolutely fascinating. nick thomas—symonds, of course, is a very close ally of keir starmer. they've known each other for donkey's years. he was the shadow home secretary before being sort of shuffled around, but seems to have been put in an incredibly important brief for
12:46 pm
this government and for this prime minister >> that's right. it is quite confusing, i think, for anyone looking into this. stephen doughty, tom and emily is the europe minister. he deals with bilaterals. he works in the foreign office with the overall person in charge, david lammy, who, of course, is the foreign secretary. but separate to that, nick thomas—symonds sits in a cabinet office looking at relations with europe. and that is that is different and i would say is open to maybe some confusion in future years. you've got these three different roles and why isn't nick thomas—symonds based in the foreign office, in the cabinet office, that puts him closer to the prime minister and further away from david lammy? no, no, no suggestion of any kind of issue here yet, but it certainly looks a bit confusing to to, looking into it really, really interesting famously that that sort of network of doors in downing street, the closer you are to the prime minister, the more power you have potentially thatis more power you have potentially that is a usurping overriding
12:47 pm
the europe minister, maybe. >> well, christopher ho, thank you so much forjoining us. live from downing street. >> and it's raining again in downing street. if you noticed, every time delay, every time we go to christopher hope . oh, go to christopher hope. oh, well, at least he has a lovely gb news umbrella, which i believe can be purchased on our website. >> absolutely. gb news .com/ shop. >> anyway, coming up, free drink refills in cafes and restaurants could be banned in wales, so you can't go with your empty cup and get a refill for free. maybe this is in a bid to encourage healthier lifestyles. is it a glass half for full welsh diners ?
12:48 pm
12:49 pm
12:50 pm
>> good afternoon. britain. it's ten minutes to 1:00 and free
12:51 pm
dnnk ten minutes to 1:00 and free drink refills could be banned at restaurants and cafes . as part restaurants and cafes. as part of new proposals by the welsh government. >> health secretary eleanor morgan has launched a consultation to restrict promotions of food products high in fat, sugar and salt. >> it also proposes to restrict retailers from putting forward offers such as buy one, get one free on unhealthy food. >> goodness me, do we need this amount of state control over what we can and can't buy? well, we're joined by the former presenter of fat families, steve miller now because steve, i suppose at the at the heart of this proposal is, is a government minister trying to do some good. >> so the situation will be, if this happens, is that i can go into a restaurant, i can have as a starter some mushrooms dipped in garlic dip or whatever. >> then i can have burger and chips. then i can have spotted dick and custard, but then i can only have one fizzy drink to
12:52 pm
stop me being fat. the logic is flawed and like many i imagine, of gb listeners and viewers, i'm fed up of all this ban. this ban, that ban, and also, you know , it's the responsible who know, it's the responsible who get penalised in this, you know, because the irresponsible can't because the irresponsible can't be bothered. so i say a big fat whopping no to these proposals. and what we do do is we start thinking about the culture of our society, which frankly, seems to have gone down the road of let's love ourselves fat. so on the one hand, we're saying we've got to fight obesity, but on the other hand, we're saying, love your curves, right? which means fat. so we've got to change the culture. the one practical common sense thing, though, that a supermarket could do is pull forward the healthy food that is affordable, because people often think that it's going to cost a lot of money to eat well. and i get that because it is quite hard to work out how
12:53 pm
to do it. so that's one practical thing. they could do rather than all of this ban, this ban, the other. >> i mean, steve, with the refills would a happy compromise be maybe to have free refills for your diet cokes, your fantasy hero , your whatever it fantasy hero, your whatever it is, sprite zero. and then for the full sugar, coke? oh, no. you can only have one. no free refills. that way people can discover the delights of diet dnnks. drinks. >> the answer is no. and now i'm ready for your next question . ready for your next question. >> i suppose this gets to a fundamental issue of a government trying to tell a business what to do. >> well, it is that, and frankly, i'm fed up with those people sitting in an ivory tower, especially the academics that come up with this codswallop you know, of penalising people that are responsible. >> you know, for acting. well, what we need to do i know i've mentioned this before, but is to look at countries using my common sense again, look at countries where they manage obesity . well, japan stands out obesity. well, japan stands out and you look at what they're
12:54 pm
doing, and then you bring that model over to the uk. but the reason that they don't, they're freak too, is because in japan they say things like it's wrong to be fat and if you're too fat, you need to do something about it. >> yeah , absolutely. >> yeah, absolutely. >> yeah, absolutely. >> absolutely. right. and, sushi is better than burger. anyway, thank you, steve miller. we're going to have to leave it there. thank you very much indeed for your time. that's all for this houn your time. that's all for this hour. but stay with us because we're going to bring you the latest development on the suitcase murder suspect case. stay with . us. stay with. us. >> 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 though, than it has been lately. that's because we're between weather systems for northern areas , but to the south we've
12:55 pm
areas, but to the south we've got low pressure approaching and these weather fronts moving into these weather fronts moving into the south coast. that's where 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 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 be a bright evening tonight 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 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
12:56 pm
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 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 warmer tomorrow with highs of 21 degrees by that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers . feeling inside from boxt boilers. >> sponsors of weather on

1:01 pm
goes on. we're going to verify and bring you more details as we hear it. we don't know if the identity has yet been confirmed, but yes, the breaking news that human remains have been found in an area where the missing teenager, jay slater. >> now this comes just one day after, there were fresh reports of a new specialist team of volunteers searching for a non—profit based in the netherlands. they deployed a team of five people and four dogs to the island this week. we don't know if it was that team that has found this, this tragic discovery or or if this was the original search team. but we are getting more information on this all the time, and we'll be getting far more into this story verifying every fact that we can. after your headlines with ray . ray. >> thanks, guys. good afternoon.
1:02 pm
1:01. our top stories this hour. and that breaking news story. spanish rescue teams in tenerife say they found human remains in the area where british teenager jay slater went missing last month. now, spanish police say evidence strongly suggests that those remains are those of the british missing british teenagen british missing british teenager. this is, of course, a developing story and we will bnng developing story and we will bring you more on this as we get it. but the king has written to donald trump following an assassination attempt in pennsylvania on saturday. the letter was delivered by the british 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 . donald trump has recovery. donald trump has arrived in milwaukee ahead of the republican national convention, where he'll be formally nominated as his

1:04 pm
through here, where candidates of all parties, particularly women, suffered the most appalling acts of , of women, suffered the most appalling acts of, 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. >> a man charged with two counts of murder after human remains were found in two suitcases in bristol, is due to appear in court today. justin 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, where more remains were found. the 34 year old will appear at wimbledon magistrates court police are scouring a farm in hertfordshire for the remains of a woman who was murdered in 1969. muriel mckay was kidnapped and held for ransom when she was mistaken for the then wife of media mogul rupert murdoch.
1:05 pm
brothers arthur and nizamuddin hosein demanded £1 million at the time they were convicted of her kidnap and murder, but her body has never been found. the prince and princess of wales have praised england's grit and determination in a personal message to gareth southgate and his squad. the england team have left their berlin hotel as they return home now following their two one defeat to spain in the euros final. many fans say they're disappointed with southgate's management, but he says now is not the time to decide his future. southgate says spain deserved the win . says spain deserved the win. >> our players have been incredible. they've given, everybody some incredible nights. they couldn't have given any more in terms of their effort, their desire, their character, tonight we fell short. we didn't keep the ball well enough . but, you know, the well enough. but, you know, the players have pushed it till the
1:06 pm
85th minute of the final game. they've been incredible, really well. >> a mixed reaction from england fans. these supporters in newcastle spoke after the game. >> a bit cold, 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 it's okay. aidan magee subs earlier, but he made the right subs this time, but it just didn't come across. i reckon he'll retire this time. different manager, different team will come across better. i think you should stay. you've done really well , mate, right? done really well, mate, right? >> regardless of everything you've done . you've done. >> fantastic. thank you very much, pal. >> keep it up. i hope he should stay. >> okay. 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.

>> forward slash alerts . >> forward slash alerts. >> forward slash alerts. >> good afternoon britain. it's 1:07 o'clock. and now for that breaking news that spanish police have found human remains in the area where british teenager jay slater went missing. >> well, we're now joined by our reporter, charlie peters to tell us more, charlie, what do we know? >> well, the civil guard, the gendarmerie of tenerife, that's been taking the lead in this investigation since it started four weeks ago today, have said now in a statement delivered via reuters , that they have found reuters, that they have found a lifeless body of a young man in the masca area. now, masca is the masca area. now, masca is the village where jay slater is reported to have travelled to on june the 16th, the sunday evening before he went missing. after that, nrg festival in the south of the island. they said
1:08 pm
that all indications indicate that all indications indicate that it could be the young british man who went missing for 29 days. so no official confirmation on the identity of this body that they have found in the northwest area of tenerife, in the rural latino national park, where, of course, the significant search operation was launched almost four weeks ago because the day after the missing missing persons report was made, we did see those search and rescue teams deployed. now that original search and rescue operation lasted for two weeks. now on saturday the 29th of june, they had that significant final push operation, as it was termed, that call for volunteers. but since then there has been no official searching. the investigation continued, but they canned their main specialist mountaineering operation effort in the northwest of the island . they
1:09 pm
northwest of the island. they said that they were keeping their eyes and ears open to other leads involved. so this is the first significant update since that period two weeks ago, when they pulled off the official search. >> charlie, when this story first broke, it was shocking and we covered it day after day after day. there were teams out scouring that very rocky , scouring that very rocky, mountainous landscape. and then the teams seem to suggest that they lowered the intensity of they lowered the intensity of the search in the countryside. and perhaps suggested at least they were looking at other leads in the towns in the urban conurbations of the island. but perhaps they were on the right track, in the first place. >> yeah. and the suggestion that was being made at the time as to why they had pulled off that search is because they had done everything possible in the area. now, unlike what you might have found during british search and rescue operations for missing persons, the civil guard in
1:10 pm
tenerife were very limited in their press updates. they never held a press conference. information we got was through snippets gathered by journalists on the ground and also just purely from watching them in their actions. now, charlie , their actions. now, charlie, we're just hearing reports, that the spanish police are saying that jay slater could have suffered an accident or a fall. >> now , at this stage, we don't >> now, at this stage, we don't know 100% whether these human remains belong to jay slater, the missing teenager, the police saying all indications point to the fact that it is. but we await that confirmation. presumably they'll have to do a dna test. >> yeah, that will be the next stage to determine the identity of the remains. they found . and of the remains. they found. and referring to that fool or the potential of an accident taking place, leading to the recovery of these remains . place, leading to the recovery of these remains. in place, leading to the recovery of these remains . in the of these remains. in the statement, they do refer to an inaccessible area. and tom, that points back to the terrain that you raised. so many of the operations that we saw at the start of the search were with drones, not with people , because
1:11 pm
drones, not with people, because a lot of the terrain they were seeking to cover the ground they wanted to investigate was inaccessible by foot. and it is a rocky area. it's not like some of the search operations. we saw two months ago in simi on that greek island near the coast of turkey, which was, you know , turkey, which was, you know, more undulating. this is significantly more treacherous terrain. and going off the path, as he reportedly did, jay slater, according to friends who took phone calls from him as indeed the location on his phone seemed to indicate did bring a significant degree of danger. so we did see those specialist teams brought in not only from the island but also from madrid. they got reinforced in the second week of the search from specialist groups drones, helicopters and sniffer dogs . helicopters and sniffer dogs. and we also saw them moving into the valley in that second week of the search into potential caves and any other area where those remains could have been located today. >> well, we're looking at some of the terrain on our screens now of the search, as it was a couple of weeks ago. we can see
1:12 pm
the, fairly arid nature of the land. there have been rocks and caves and steep , angles and caves and steep, angles and sharp drops as well. so the case of if this was indeed, a teenager trying to get home from a party, walked the wrong way, went off the road, slipped and fell, or or, tipped off the edge of a steep ledge, that would seem to make a lot of sense. >> it would. but we'll wait, of course, for the dna confirmation and further information from the civil guard. but all the indications from the original reports from jay's friends, we heard regularly from a young woman called lucy about their presumed the penultimate phone call he made at the time. another friend came forward saying that he heard him slipping on rocks that also supports this theory that he'd gone off the main path there, but it wasn't 11 hour walk that he was attempting to make. reportedly, according to, reports of those original phone
1:13 pm
calls from the northwest back to the south, where his accommodation was 1% battery on his phone. there was also reports of a cut on his leg from from the local , was it a cactus from the local, was it a cactus that he'd come into contact with? so really treacherous situation that he was in at the time. >> now this development, it was only a few hours ago , actually, only a few hours ago, actually, that his mother gave a statement addressing some of the, i guess the nastier, conspiracy theories they were vile conspiracy theories. yeah. to then have her make that statement and then for this news to come out. yeah. >> it must be an appalling time for the family who've remained on the island, supported by, onune on the island, supported by, online funded efforts to maintain their accommodation and also just food. i mean, the cost of living on a holiday island in the peak of summer. it's not easy. and also, they had supported a new search team, a dutch organisation. they reportedly already had 4 or 5 people deployed on the ground
1:14 pm
with their sniffer dogs. decades of experience from this for not profit specialist search group, another person was due out to fly today. obviously don't know if they're involved in this new update from the civil guard who had reportedly called off their on the ground search effort after that major two week push. so debbie duncan , jay's mother, so debbie duncan, jay's mother, saying yesterday that vile conspiracy theories were impossible to avoid because they had just covered so much of the social media sleuthing and indeed much of the journalistic coverage of the search and rescue operation , because after rescue operation, because after they called off that search, the civil guard but said they were open to alternative leads that did then bring in amateur sleuths and investigators had flown out not only to support the family, but also on their own back to put forward their own back to put forward their own theories and their own speculation. but at this time, the latest information we have is that remains have been found potentially, of the young british man jay slater, who went
1:15 pm
missing four weeks ago today. >> and that speaks to just how unhelpful, really the amateur sleuthing has been over the course of the last 29 days, it will have been deeply distressing for the family, but also it will have been off putting for those who are paid to do a professional job. >> yeah. and they've had no shortage of resources put into this search. the civil guard, there was a lot of criticism by those close to jay, actually, of the police saying they failed to communicate effectively and that the search teams were insufficient. but i think when you look just bluntly at the pure resources they put into the northwest of the island, we've mentioned the helicopters and the drones and the sniffer dogs and all the rest of it. it was clear that they were putting on a significant shift here in very treacherous terrain, moving into the valleys, into the mountainous areas. and now we don't know who found these remains, but it has been reported through the news wires that the civil guard has recovered a lifeless body,
1:16 pm
lifeless remains. that could be jay slater's. >> why did they call off the search? or at least, you know, why did that happen? well, after two weeks of searching in the same area. >> the same. the only possible sort of location where they thought his body could be. and it's. i think it's worth noting, referring back to this statement that they've recovered these remains in the masca area, which is the village he was staying at in that airbnb. and they clearly didn't think that he could have travelled significantly beyond the perimeter of their search. now, just based purely on the information they've given us from this statement, this afternoon, that perspective, that theory does seem to be supported by this latest update , supported by this latest update, because they have found these remains in that area. again, we don't know that it's him, but they have pointed to the fact that it's likely that these remains belong to jay slater, the teenager from the north west. but why do they call off the search? they just don't think they could have done any more at the time, working in the area that they were looking through. >> now, of course, we can't
1:17 pm
confirm this at this stage, but we are hearing that the spanish police say all indications, all indications are that this body is jay slater. >> yeah. and that will point to the timing. it's appalling to reflect on this, but it'll also point to the, the state that the bodyisin point to the, the state that the body is in after so much time being subject to the elements that will factor into the statement and the understanding that the civil guard have and also the intelligence they have about the area, who else could have gone missing and been found in such a way? there have been many cases of bodies going missing and people getting lost in tenerife in recent decades , in tenerife in recent decades, but after four weeks there is an expectation of what those remains might look like. and we have to infer from this statement that those four week effects mirror what the civil guards have found in the last the last day or so . the last day or so. >> absolutely. and, charlie, just remind us of the timeline of events. jay slater, the missing teenager, he was on his
1:18 pm
first holiday abroad without his parents. then what happened? >> well, his first holiday without his without his family. really? with friends attending this music festival in the south of tenerife, now, that was on june the 16th, the sunday when he attended the energy festival. now, in statements released by the police since then, they've confirmed that he left that festival in the early hours with two british men for an after party in the north of the island, some 30 miles north in the rural latino national park in the northwest area, focusing on an airbnb rental property in the masca village of the island . the masca village of the island. those men then flew back to britain in the days afterjune, the 17th. but jay slater was not seen again after leaving that property . he left seen again after leaving that property. he left in seen again after leaving that property . he left in the early property. he left in the early hours, not on the early hours. apologies. later on that morning, after sunrise phoned his friend lucy at around 850, and the last ping of the
1:19 pm
location on his phone came soon after. he said on the phone reportedly had 1% battery on his phone. he had cut his leg on a cactus. now, another phone call later, a friend came forward. a couple of days later, a friend also on this holiday trip, said that he'd heard jay sliding down some rubble and some rocks in the northwest of the island, and that missing persons report was made on the same day. on tuesday the 18th of june, a significant search and rescue operation was launched by the civil guard. we don't really have an equivalent of the civil guard in britain. they're like, the carabinieri in italy, they're like a military police. so they have a different role, different role, different structure and a different kind of approach to dealing with these operations. but they do have specialist mountain rescue teams, which of course you need in tenerife in such a terrain. and they did bring in support from madrid that went into a two week intensive ground operation involving all of the assets and resources we've mentioned. and that culminated on the saturday
1:20 pm
of the second week of the operation with what they described at the time as a massive search and rescue effort supported by volunteers. now, volunteers criticised that operation on the day that it took place when it was finished, because insufficient numbers turned up. now the civil guard at the time did call for those who could handle the terrain to come along. they didn't want just hill walkers to turn up and holidaymakers to have a go at finding someone in such treacherous circumstances. they wanted those who could do it who had experience in the area. only a handful met that criteria to support the already quite significant civil guard teams. after that, search and rescue was concluded and it failed. they didn't find remains or his body on that day . they then said body on that day. they then said in a very abrupt statement that the search operation was called off, but they were investigating other leads. now, a third party investigator on the island at the time pointed to a criminal underworld on the island that was particularly interesting. others said that they really were desperate to speak to those
1:21 pm
two men. we just mentioned who jay slater was with on the night of the 16th, before he went missing. on that walk back, that 11 hour walk, he would have needed after missing the bus from the north—west to the south of the island . and other leads of the island. and other leads were also pointed to in newspaper reports about what could have happened at the festival on the sunday night. but none of these leads were conclusive enough for the police to make any statement, and there was no clear investigation on them. also in the second week before the search rescue was called off, we also had reports of a potential sighting of jay slater watching the euros at a village nearby that was not pursued very significantly in any public statement again, but we do know that cctv was passed over to the civil guard. we have to presume that it was just called off as a possible lead very shortly. but in the two weeks since the official search was called off, it has to be said that it's gone pretty quiet on tenerife now. the family have continued to call for support. we did have the specialist dutch team flying out mostly recently
1:22 pm
in the last few days. further assets flew in from the netherlands yesterday another person was due to join today but that was the only really significant search operation. update we had from people involved with this situation , involved with this situation, again supported by public donations coming from england and across the uk to support debbie duncan, the mother of jay slater, as they stayed on the island. but this, this significant update today does suggest all indications suggest that jay slater's remains have been found on the island. >> and those are the words that we've got from the spanish authorities that all indications are that this is jay slater, this lifeless body that has been found in the area of interest. it's interesting that you note the, rather opaque way that the spanish authorities have been operating over the last 29 days only, statements, no press conferences , no family liaison conferences, no family liaison for the family of jay slater.
1:23 pm
it's been the british embassy that has been doing all of the liaison. of course, in this country, you'd expect police liaison officers, you'd expect press conferences, you'd expect a much more open way of investigating this and potentially the closed way that this has been investigated has led to this sort of, online web of conspiracy, all of these theories and, and amateur detectives making life really quite difficult for, for, for the mother, debbie duncan. >> well, increasingly in a social media age, people like to speculate on these sorts of cases, regardless of what the police are saying, there's no shortage of major search and rescue operations where the police are engaged in regularly, often with daily press conferences, and people still do fire in their own theories and fly over to get involved in their own unique ways. but i think also the criticism was so strong from the family and also many commentators and indeed former detectives who've worked in this area before that, we
1:24 pm
even saw lancashire police offering their own support to the civil guard. they offered to fly officers and that was swiftly rebuffed by the specialist group. and i'm regularly using that term specialist group for a reason. they are the specialists on the ground. it's a mountain rescue and intervention group that's made this statement today. they are the resourced experts . they are the resourced experts. they knew what was going on and they made that search and rescue operation. >> well, thank you very much. charlie, please stay with us. we're going to have more on this breaking news that human remains have been found in tenerife. all indications , according to the indications, according to the spanish authorities, that this is the missing teenager, jay slater. devastating news for the family. we'll have more on that after this short
1:25 pm
1:26 pm
1:27 pm
break. >> good afternoon. britain it's 1:27. now we're getting straight
1:28 pm
to that . breaking news. spanish to that. breaking news. spanish police have found human remains in the area where british teenager jay slater went missing. >> yes. reports suggest spanish police have said all indications are that the body is of jay slater. we're joined now by our reporter charlie peters to tell us more. charlie, what are we heanng us more. charlie, what are we hearing from the spanish authorities? >> well, the civil guards say they have found a lifeless remains in the masca area , which remains in the masca area, which is the village where jay slater stayed in on the night of the 16th of june. that's sunday, after attending that festival. they've also said they found these remains where all indications suggest that they are the body of jay slater in an inaccessible area in masca . now, inaccessible area in masca. now, this does point to the terrain and the ground there very, very significantly difficult area for the specialist search and rescue teams to work in and does also suggest why it's taken four weeks to find some remains. and
1:29 pm
they've also pointed to the potential of an accident taking place , leading to these remains place, leading to these remains ending up in an inaccessible area in the northwest of the island . island. >> now we're looking at some of this terrain on our screens now, and you can just see how sort of dense and thick it is, how there are sharp drops and steep cliffs. i mean, it really is a nightmare to search much of it very, very arid. it's been 29 days of this search before this, apparent conclusion that may well have come to place today. it's easy to see why the teams have spent quite so long, with until today, very little, sort of discovery. sure. >> and they had a wide perimeter to work through. it was clear from observing how the civil guard were working in the area. their convoys of resources regularly moving throughout that rural area and in the mountainous regions in the
1:30 pm
northwest of the island, slipping between small outbuildings that they regularly searched and researched, and then also into valleys and mountainous areas . there was no mountainous areas. there was no one concentrated area and it was clear on several occasions that these specialist groups from the civil guard, the mountain intervention and rescue group, were researching several locations . that's what went on locations. that's what went on for two weeks. they only called off the search after a final massive operation , in their massive operation, in their words, calling on volunteers with sufficient capabilities to engage with the civil guard and augment their search in that north westerly area of the island that they had to finally say, we can't look any more in this style. we're keeping the investigation open. other leads will be pursued, but the on the ground search has concluded. that was two weeks ago, and now all indications from the lifeless remains that they have found point towards the recovery potential of the body of jay slater and the suggestion that this could have been an
1:31 pm
accident, a fall in this rough terrain , terrain, >> hearing from the civil guard command over there that they're they're awaiting the results of an autopsy to confirm that that's what happened. but that's what we're hearing at the moment. >> yes. and only in the second week of this search did they call for an upgrade in the resources they were using , with resources they were using, with specialists coming in from mainland spain, from madrid , to mainland spain, from madrid, to augment the search teams on the island, pointing to the struggle they faced in locating any leads that pointed towards the mystery of where jay slater had gone that evening. now an autopsy taking place now will point towards more of an understanding of what took place in those key hours after that final phone call, just before 9 am. on monday the 17th of june, when jay went missing and was last heard from the only leads they had to go on after that were one other phone call made to a friend, where he said that he was heard slipping down rocks and had gone off the main path. but also there was that location
1:32 pm
ping but also there was that location ping on his phone showing him slightly away from the route that a mapping app would have showed you to take if you were to walk the 11 hours from the masca area in the rural dittaino national park, back to the south of tenerife , where his of tenerife, where his accommodation was so very limited. information for the specialist groups to go off and now an autopsy might give more information, presumably very difficult to have an autopsy of this body perished so long ago. >> now it would be very difficult to find exactly , difficult to find exactly, exactly what happened, i assume. >> yeah, yeah. and it is grim to reflect on this. of course . but reflect on this. of course. but after four weeks in the elements approaching the height of the spanish summer in in tenerife, you do get the sense that one of the reasons why these remains will be difficult to assess is the effect that natural degradation will take place dunng degradation will take place during that time , adding an during that time, adding an additional strain for these teams to work through .
1:33 pm
teams to work through. >> well, charlie, thank you very much. do stay with us. of course we'll have much more on this story and indeed head live to tenerife. that's after your headunes tenerife. that's after your headlines with ray addison . headlines with ray addison. >> thanks, guys. 1:33. our top stories as we've been hearing human remains believed to be those of missing british teenager jay slater, have been teenagerjay slater, have been found in tenerife. spanish rescue teams made the discovery in the area where the 19 year old went missing last month. his phone was last traced to the masca ravine in a remote national park. in a statement, the civil guard said he may have died due to an accidental fall. however, a post—mortem will be carried out to verify the cause of death . the king has written of death. the king has written to donald trump following the assassination attempt in pennsylvania on saturday. buckingham palace has not disclosed details of the

1:40 pm
are reports at this stage. but joining us now from tenerife is travel writer and owner of my guide tenerife.com joe corley . guide tenerife.com joe corley. joe, thank you very much indeed for joining us from tenerife. forjoining us from tenerife. this story has gripped the nation. i'm sure it has the same in tenerife. this will be a devastating update for the family of missing teenagerjay family of missing teenager jay slater . slater. >> yeah, i mean obviously they're holding out hope, that he would be found alive, but after so long it's, yeah, it was after so long it's, yeah, it was a hope that was, probably not going to happen. all our hearts going to happen. all our hearts go out to the family, it's a very tragic end to this story. >> now, of course, we've been covering this story on and off for the last 29 days, it's been a huge search effort. of course. what can you tell us about the terrain that has been being searched? this part of tenerife? that that eluded professional
1:41 pm
search teams for so long? >> well , search teams for so long? >> well, apparently the body was found, reasonably close to masca village, it wasn't too far out, but it was in an area of the ravine that was very, very inaccessible. and there are many areas like this where it takes, mountain mountaineers experienced mountaineers to, to access these areas, it's very easy to, to miss something in that kind of area. it's very steep, very volcanic. it's very, very dangerous terrain . very dangerous terrain. >> and it was only hours ago that, the mother of jay slater released a statement, talking about all the horrible conspiracies that had been online, all the nastiness that she'd seen, how it may have been affecting the search and rescue , affecting the search and rescue, mission. and then only hours later, to get this news. >> yeah. i mean , it is it's >> yeah. i mean, it is it's horrific. the family have been
1:42 pm
plagued by these conspiracy theories and online trolling. whatever you want to call it, all through the case, ever since they arrived on the island, which is, horrific, but now, to get the news that this does seem indeed like a tragic accident, he's fallen , it just adds to the he's fallen, it just adds to the heartbreak , it's been so heartbreak, it's been so difficult for them , i think part difficult for them, i think part of the problem was this , this of the problem was this, this lack of information that was being put out to the public, and it was being filled by these conspiracies. but, nonetheless, there was some horrific things said, yeah, i hope that the family can can in the future find some peace with this. now now we're getting new information in all the time and verifying as much as we can. >> it does seem that the body was found with the with the clothes and possessions of jay slater, the police saying all indications that this is jay slater and joe, you were saying that this was actually not all
1:43 pm
that this was actually not all that far from where he was last known to have been . known to have been. >> yeah, we don't know exactly. they've not released the exact location yet, but looking at, satellite maps and images, it looks like it. i don't know how far away it was, but it looks like it was not, say, at the end of the ravine, towards the ocean. it was closer to the actual village of masca, which suggests that the accident possibly took place very soon after he went missing. he didn't seem to have travelled that far, and whether he stumbled or not, we're not sure, >> and, joe, how big a story has this been in tenerife? has it gnpped this been in tenerife? has it gripped the public there as it has here, or has it been more focused? the expat community? >> no. well, it's been a huge story within the expat community, for sure. it has been the subject that people are talking about whenever they're together, the mysteries and the, you know, obviously the sympathy
1:44 pm
and the loss of jay, within the spanish community, maybe not quite as much. but it's certainly been. yeah, big news amongst the british community. and this will come to a massive shock. >> now, of course, you run the my, my guides tenerife. com website. have you noticed that this has been affecting people with regard to their plans to travel to tenerife? is this affecting the tourism industry on the island ? on the island? >> i think a little bit, yeah, there have been comments, there have been messages suggesting or asking if it's if it's safe to come to tenerife. people have been taking this as, you know, something that is regularly occurs in tenerife, which obviously doesn't, and people have been concerned, but it's, it's a tragic one off, i think this has led to some people querying whether it's the right decision. and obviously it's a decision. and obviously it's a decision that individuals have to make themselves .
1:45 pm
to make themselves. >> yes, when anything ever terrible ever happens in a in a location, it does impact people's plans, they have concerns, of course, but, joe, in terms of your experience with the spanish authorities, there have been some criticism along the way of how the search and rescue mission has gone and whether the right decisions were made, at what time, etc, what's your experience of that? if you have any? >> there have been criticisms. yeah. like i said, there was a lot of, there was a big void of information that was being put out because the guardia civil do not work like that. they do not make public briefings daily, so there's a lot of speculation, you know, there was a few golden nuggets within this kind of tiktok detective work, i don't know if that actually led to the finding. i don't know if there's anything in that that actually helped, but, in general, it was a problem. it was it was as the guardia civil put it, it was a big noise that they could have done without, to be honest . done without, to be honest. >> yes. it is interesting that
1:46 pm
the differences there between, between the civil guard and the police as we know it in the united kingdom, how have the civil guard been responding to some of that criticism, to the constant, questions ? i suppose, constant, questions? i suppose, because, as you say, it's been a huge amount of a huge topic of conversation on the island and some criticism in there for the authorities . authorities. >> yeah, there has been criticism about particularly the lack of information provided , lack of information provided, i'm from obviously from the family's point of view . they've family's point of view. they've been very praiseworthy of the police, but obviously, you know, nothing is going to be ever enough until until jay was found, which he seems to be tragically now has, the other thing is, yeah, maybe i don't know . they will they will listen know. they will they will listen to the fact that this lack of information has provided such a void and fuelled so much speculation . maybe they will
1:47 pm
speculation. maybe they will listen, but the guardia civil, the guardia civil and they've, they've carried out their operations the same ever since. they were founded. >> okay. well thank you very much indeed for your time. joe corley, travel writer and owner of my guide to tenerife. com really great to, speak to you this afternoon. thank you. >> well, now, more on that breaking news. of course, spanish police have found human remains in the area where british teenager jay slater went missing. these reports suggest that spanish police have said all indications are that the bodyis all indications are that the body is of jay slater. charlie peters, our reporter, is on this story. and not just these indications of who this body is, but also indications that he may have had a fall. >> yes. so reporters in spain, in the mainland in madrid are saying that the police are suggesting that the remains that they have found belong to someone who could have made a drop down a chasm or a drop in the land in the area near to where these remains were
1:48 pm
recovered. again, going back to the rugged and mountainous terrain. we were talking about . terrain. we were talking about. and the fact that when they launched that massive search operation at the end of the second week of their search, they called on experienced people who were used to dealing with this area. and the group of the civil guard that has recovered these remains, with all indicators pointing towards them being the remains of missing teenager jay slater. that group is from the mountainous intervention and recovery group, so another specialist subset within already a very unique force in the spanish authorities. so again pointing towards the risk from the area and also suggesting why after two weeks of intensive on the ground operations , they the ground operations, they could not recover. jay slater we've also heard in the last few moments from a group called the labour seat group, which is a charity that has supported debbie duncan, jay's mother and the family in tenerife, as they
1:49 pm
continued their own self—funded operations to support the recovery and the for search jay slater. this is a group that works with the families of missing persons and those who've been involved in the miscarriages of justice as well. they said that this has not been confirmed by the spanish police, but they said that jay's possessions and clothing were recovered in this search. now, we've heard from following reports since he went missing on the 17th of june that jay's passport were in his hotel room down in the south of the island. as with the rest of his clothes and money, etc. but one of the reasons why we know he had some possessions on him the night before he was at a festival, and on the morning he took a photo for snapchat on his personal mobile phone, which was then uploaded and shown to be in that location where these remains have been found. >> now we do have a statement from lbt global. as you say, they've been working with the family and that statement, let's read it out now. a body found in
1:50 pm
tenerife, thought to be jay slater, is understood to have been found close to his mobile phone's last location and with his possessions and clothes. that's from missing persons charity lbt global on behalf of the family. a short statement, but reassess and repeating and really reaffirming those facts that have been reported again and again. >> now , interesting that that >> now, interesting that that information doesn't come out from the spanish police, but it is a trustworthy source close to the family that has been involved in this search. now, the spanish authorities, the language they use about the location where they have recovered these remains, not only do they describe it as inaccessible, but also steep. and i think that points to the specific areas that we did see them working in. now as your guest and many other commentators have said on this issue, the civil guard don't give regular updates. they've not provided information through press conferences or statements as they continued this investigation. but we can assess
1:51 pm
and understand their work just through observing them , because through observing them, because there were so many resources in that area in particular in these steep and inaccessible parts of the royal national park , the royal national park, researching and researching again many specific locations that were considered particularly treacherous and difficult to navigate through ravines were core parts of that search and the valleys that they moved into. really, in the second week, we saw them moving away from those small outbuildings near the masca village, and we could observe them moving into caves and more treacherous, rugged, mountainous locations where, with a misstep, the tragedy could have occurred where people could very easily lose their footing and fall. and also, it's worth noting, i think, in relation to the ground and the terrain they're working on, we do have reports claimed by a friend who is potentially the last person that jay could have spoken to, saying that on the phone he heard jay slipping on rocks as he'd moved away from the main path where he had started. that reportedly 11 hour
1:52 pm
walk from the location he was in masca, in the north—west of the island to the south, where his accommodation was. >> yes, and we understand there is an autopsy ongoing to find out , to try and find out what out, to try and find out what exactly happened and to 100% confirm the identity of the body, this is the worst possible, scenario for his family. and friends. >> it's confirming the nightmares that they will have been having about this situation. and in the second week of this search, when it looked more doomed as we were observing the efforts being made by the civil guard, some of the language being used about that operation switched from rescue to recovery . and that does to recovery. and that does appean to recovery. and that does appear. what's happened today? now the family obviously kept their hope, as you have to in this scenario. you have to believe until everything's confirmed that your loved 1st may be recovered safely. but the authorities today making that claim that all indications suggest that this is the body of jay slater, the missing british teenager missing since the 16th of june. on that evening, when
1:53 pm
he went up to the north—west of the island in a hellish 29 days for the family. >> it's been a mystery for the country. it looks like today it may well have come to a conclusion, as you say, charlie , conclusion, as you say, charlie, all indications are that this these remains found, this body found, is that of jay slater, found, is that of jay slater, found reportedly with his possessions, with his clothes , possessions, with his clothes, andindeed possessions, with his clothes, and indeed reportedly possible that jay slater had a fall, of course we have heard, just to recap, that this body has been found in tenerife, thought to be jay slater , understood to have jay slater, understood to have been found close to his mobile phone's last location, very close to the last location that he was known to have been at with his possessions and clothes. that's from the missing persons charity lbt global, who have been working with the family and speaking on behalf of the family. >> yes, and we're going to continue to bring you any updates when and if we hear them. thank you very much
1:54 pm

weather fronts moving into the south coast. that's where the heaviest rain will be around lunchtime . we've got a band of 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 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 be a bright evening tonight 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 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
1:56 pm
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 nonh 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 warmer tomorrow with highs of 21 degrees by that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on gb.

2:08 pm
launched their own specialist rescue operation, have found remains where all indications point to that belonging to jay slater. they say it's near the location where he went missing. that village of masca. it's in the wide and rural and rugged and treacherous world latino national park. this is the area where for two weeks, those specialist mountain rescue and intervention group teams from the civil guard searched and researched the same perimeter location where they believed he might have gone missing. now, while that went on, speculation was rife both online and on the island about alternative theories and other lines of inquiry. those were left open by the civil guard, but it's now two weeks after they ended their on the ground search, that that body has been recovered. we're now waiting for an autopsy to confirm. despite all indications pointing, we haven't got official confirmation. we have heard that the body was found in
2:09 pm
a steep and inaccessible part of the northwest of the island, pointing to a potential fall down a steep location where he could have become trapped and invisible to those search teams, which included sniffer dogs, drones and helicopters. and we have also heard from a charity close to the family that assisted with the search, saying that his possessions were found at this location. more information waiting to be updated later today. >> this, of course, has been a really difficult time for the family and a and a very difficult time for the search team as well . can you tell us a team as well. can you tell us a bit more about the terrain that they've had to be working with here? >> well, it's mountainous and so many of the reporters on the ground have pointed to almost a sombre beauty of the area, because it is so stunning. such is the range and the diversity of the terrain. it can go from those kind of narrow paths. not dissimilar to the one that jay is thought to have taken when he
2:10 pm
left the airbnb property on the morning of the 17th to inaccessible and insurmountable, terrain such as mountains, which really should be reserved for very experienced hikers and mountaineers. that's why when they launched their final day of that search operation, two saturdays ago for that massive search, the civil guard called on only experienced hikers and mountaineers and those with specialist information and capabilities to join on with their group. because this is a seriously tough area to navigate , seriously tough area to navigate, not only for those rescue teams, but also anyone who's seeking to hike in the area. >> thank you very much indeed. charlie peters, our reporter. thank you for bringing us the latest. now, joining us from tenerife is the editor of canarian weekly, chris elkington. chris, thank you very much for joining elkington. chris, thank you very much forjoining us. i know you've been following this story and all the updates. devastating news today for the family that these human remains have been found all indications pointing to it being the missing
2:11 pm
teenager, jay slater. just tell us what it's been like covering this story . us what it's been like covering this story. chris, us what it's been like covering this story . chris, we've lost this story. chris, we've lost your sound for the moment. we'll come back to chris because he's in tenerife, but i believe we are actually going to now speak to mark white, our home and security editor . this to mark white, our home and security editor. this on a very different story. we've got an update on the case of human remains found in suitcases in bristol. mark, tell us the latest . latest. >> yeah, this is 34 year old colombian national justin andres mosquera, who appeared here at wimbledon magistrates court on two counts of murder of murdering 62 year old albert alfonso and 71 year old paul longworth. >> now mr alfonso and mr longworth were, we were told, in
2:12 pm
a relationship for a time, but still lived together in scotts roadin still lived together in scotts road in shepherd's bush in west london. it's also claimed by prosecutors that the defendant in this case, mr mosquera, knew those two men and lodged with them for a time. he is accused of murdering the two men between the eighth and the 10th of july. now this case was sparked by the discovery of human remains after a man was seen dropping off two suitcases on the clifton suspension bridge, near bristol late at night last wednesday night. when police arrived at the scene, alerted by bridge security, they looked inside the suitcases and found human remains that was later confirmed to have been the remains of two men. indeed, the two victims that we've just described, mr
2:13 pm
musa qala stood in the dock. he was using a spanish interpreter as he listened to the charges put against him. he spoke only to confirm his name, his date of birth, his age being 34, and that he had this address in west london. he has now been remanded back into custody. he will appear again this time at the crown court. the central criminal court, on wednesday of this week . this week. >> see that this is a case that actually concerns victims from london rather than from bristol. a lot of the speculation was looking at missing people in the west country. but but actually it's from the capital city and two men who seem to be in a relationship together. >> well, yes, indeed, the london connection came up a day or so
2:14 pm
after the initial remains were found in the two suitcases on the clifton suspension bridge. enquiries led the police back to london and to shepherd's bush . london and to shepherd's bush. they spoke to a taxi driver in south—east london, who it's believed had driven the suspect all the way out to bristol. that taxi driver, not a suspect, but helping the police with their ongoing investigations. and then in the early hours of saturday morning over the weekend , the morning over the weekend, the arrest of mr musa qala in the bristol area near temple meads railway station in bristol, and he was charged then overnight last night and this is his first court appearance here at wimbledon magistrates court. and now, of course, as i say back in custody until that crown court heanng custody until that crown court hearing at the old bailey this coming wednesday. >> okay. well, thank you very
2:15 pm
much indeed. mark white, our home and security editor there at wimbledon magistrates court for us. >> well, we're going to return to our lead story now, back to tenerife . as spanish police say, tenerife. as spanish police say, a body located where jay slater went missing was found with the teenager's clothes and possessions. joining us from tenerife once more is the editor of canarian weekly, chris elkington, chris, i apologise for the connection issues we experienced some minutes ago. how has it been for you covering this story, >> it's been a very unusual one because right from the start, the media coverage was huge. >> but also the fact that the search started straight away is quite unusual. normally it can take 48 hours before police will start actively looking for someone, but right from day one, this one has been extremely active and obviously covered globally, let alone just obviously in the uk. in tenerife, and along along the way, there's obviously also been a huge amount of speculation on social media as well. so it's
2:16 pm
been a very intense time for all involved, especially the family. >> yes. the global attention on this story on tenerife, this relatively small island, has been absolutely enormous. of course, the news we're hearing today that these human remains have been found, all indications that it have been found, all indications thatitis have been found, all indications that it is the body of jay slater who went missing a month ago. it's devastating news for the family . they've been the family. they've been speaking to the media about the abuse that's been online, the vicious conspiracy theories. and now to hear the worst news possible. >> yes , definitely, >> yes, definitely, >> yes, definitely, >> you know, hopefully they'll be able to, lay some of those rumours to rest and, and get on with it because, you know, right from the start, those of us who who are based here, live here, know the terrain, know the area , know the terrain, know the area, know the terrain, know the area, know the terrain, know the area, know the police, procedures said all along that we believed that he was somewhere here on the island and more than likely in one of the deep ravines, because
2:17 pm
the terrain, as you were talking about before, is extremely mountainous with with ravines up to 2000ft deep, >> so it's not a it's not a massive surprise that eventually , massive surprise that eventually, you know, what appears to be jay has been found , it's also has been found, it's also unusual for the police to release a statement like they have, saying they believe it is him, which tells us that , you him, which tells us that, you know, pending autopsy and official identification, that, that it official identification, that, thatitis official identification, that, that it is going to turn out to be. but hopefully it means that the family can get some closure on the whole situation. >> it has been the most tragic story, but also perhaps compounded or compounding that tragedy has been the web of conspiracy and amateur sleuthing that we've seen from people on, on social media sites, on facebook groups . we've seen the facebook groups. we've seen the most extraordinary amount of really quite distressing speculation. >> oh, absolutely. >> oh, absolutely. >> and that's why the police
2:18 pm
officially announced they were stopping this search two weeks ago because they wanted to stop people joining them. you know, they said, let us do our job. let us, continue looking for the person we're looking for, not looking after the people who want to come and help look for him. and, you know, it's, the whole investigation has been carried out under a secrecy order from the corona courts in los cristianos, which is why there's been limited information over the last couple of weeks, andifs over the last couple of weeks, and it's carried on in secrecy. effectively behind closed doors and the search and mountain rescue crews that they use are in these areas all the time. they're in the mountains for various different things, whether it's, you know, in this situation with someone going missing or forest fires or to, you know , assist people who are you know, assist people who are injured from hiking, whatever situation, and they know what they're doing. so the whole amateur sleuth thing that's been going on, on tiktok and instagram and facebook has just been, you know, a major distraction really . distraction really. >> okay. well, thank you very
2:19 pm
much for your time . chris much for your time. chris elkington, editor of canarian weekly. you're based in tenerife. thank you very much for speaking to us this afternoon . afternoon. >> well, coming up, the prince and princess of wales have written a personal letter to gareth southgate. it's as the team lands home after the euros final. much more on that after this
2:20 pm
2:21 pm
2:22 pm
good afternoon. britain. it's 2:22. now the prince and princess of wales have eased england's football performance. in a post shared alongside a photo of their two younger children, princess charlotte and prince louis, who can be seen here watching the football. they said england, your teamwork , said england, your teamwork, grit and determination were an inspiration to all of us, young
2:23 pm
and old. congratulations to spain. they just had to add that, didn't they? >> this all comes as the king and queen camilla arrive for a two day visit to the channel islands, heading to jersey today, guernsey tomorrow and cameron walker is with us. our royal correspondent to tell all. let's start actually with the channel islands. so what's on the cards here? yes. >> well, the king and queen have now arrived in jersey in the caphal now arrived in jersey in the capital, saint helier. very sodden, very wet, i'm afraid. umbrellas galore. here we go. channel islands usually is a nice holiday destination because you're slightly more guaranteed sunshine, but it appears the king and queen, unfortunately, have brought the bad weather with them. so it's a two day visit to the channel islands. it's their their first visit. these photographs we're seeing here are in the royal square, and they're currently at a special sitting of the states assembly. that's basically jersey's government because it's not part of the united kingdom. it's a crown dependency and also a special sitting of the royal court as well . now, jersey and court as well. now, jersey and guernsey islanders are very lucky because they are getting a
2:24 pm
bank holiday today for jersey, tomorrow for guernsey. unlike the united kingdom, who clearly hasn't got one for the england team, england's team performance yesterday. but the king and queen of course, soldiering on, keeping calm and carrying on. but i feel a little bit sorry for these crowds who've obviously had to wait for hours in the rain to see, their majesties, but i don't think we'll let it dampen their spirits too much. >> it was the same at trooping the colour, wasn't it? and people still get out there in their hordes, in their thousands to catch a glimpse. >> and at least they've remembered their brollies. unlike certain former prime ministers. but but cameron, of course, the football was a significant event for the royal family, the prince of wales and prince george there in the stadium . stadium. >> yes, they absolutely were. it was a very special treat for prince george. prince william, of course, president of the fa. but we had a lovely photograph, as you referenced in your introduction from the princess of wales. of the two youngest children, what are their names? louis and charlotte, they were
2:25 pm
wearing the official england shirt. charlotte, of course, is nine years old. that's on the back of her shirt. louis is six, so they were watching it on television. we believe in adelaide cottage with their mother, the princess of wales, and i'm sure they caught a glimpse of their father and brother on the television screens as well. disappointing result. i'm sure the king of spain went home from the berlin stadium a little bit more happy than william and george. >> yes, particularly after that wimbledon win too. yes. but, but these statements so this particular statement, the short one that i just read out congratulating the team and also the spanish team was that who was that from? >> that was from william and catherine. >> that was only from william and catherine. >> a personal tweet from them. yes, indeed. but we got a much more lengthy statement, from his majesty the king for last night's following that england that england defeat specifically to gareth southgate actually in the england team expressing his commiserations and saying we're all still very proud of you. >> well he did, he put out another statement before the match saying save us the, save
2:26 pm
us the nail biting finishes or the penalties or wishing for that now. >> yes, the nation's collective blood pressure, i believe, was referenced following that semi—final goal in the last minute or so. >> but alas, it was not to be. but i'm sure the king would have very much supported his team, would have quite liked the chance for a penalty shoot out, but alas, alas. >> well, catherine walker, thank you very much for that royal roundup. >> yes. and now, in other news, across the pond, president biden has condemned condemned the attempted assassination on donald trump, telling americans that politics must never become a killing field. and he called on the temperature in politics to be lowered. >> however, many republicans are blaming the president's campaign rhetoric for the attack . after rhetoric for the attack. after the 81 year old reportedly said it was time to put trump in a bull's eye. >> well, meanwhile, donald trump has made a plea for unity, calling on americans not to let evil win. he's also confirmed he will attend the republican national convention on thursday to accept his party's nomination for november's presidential
2:27 pm
election, where all eyes will be on who he picks to be his running mate. >> indeed, he arrived in milwaukee earlier today. so let's speak to the professor of international politics, david dunn, because , david, there's dunn, because, david, there's something quite defiant about trump's statement saying that initially he was going to delay his trip to the rnc, but actually is now going back to the original timetable because he doesn't want the assassin, the attempted assassin, the would be assassin to disrupt any of his previous plans. >> yes, indeed. >> yes, indeed. >> it's very bullish of trump to be doing this. >> most people would have had at least 24 hours to contemplate, the, the very near miss that he had , but he is keen to actually had, but he is keen to actually capitalise on this as politically as possible by turning up to the convention by, trying to strike a magnanimous, tone and change the focus of his campaign. >> he recognises that this, act
2:28 pm
and the images that came out of that, unfortunate incident, have buttressed his support considerably. >> and he is, making sure that that actually he is going to exploit that in terms of pool terms, by taking a different approach at the convention. >> he recognises also that biden is weakened by his debate performance, by the appalling gaffes in the press conference, and therefore, he wants the focus to be on biden's record rather than anything else here, he sees an opportunity politically, and he is clearly going to exploit it. >> are there any early indications that, he has improved in terms of popularity that he will get more popular support ? have there been any support? have there been any sort of snap polls or anything that we can point to say, other than the general commentary and assumption that he might get a boost from this? >> most of the commentaries are in terms of actually public reaction just through vox pops,
2:29 pm
rather than polls, which tend to take a few more days and lag behind events. but actually, there's a record there. if you look back in 1981, when ronald reagan was shot, his popularity shot up to 70. soon thereafter, similarly, reagan was seen as handung similarly, reagan was seen as handling the attempted assassination in a very, robust way, reagan famously, said to his wife, nancy, i forgot to duck. >> and then just before he went under the knife to actually have an operation to remove the bullet, he said to the surgeons, ihope bullet, he said to the surgeons, i hope you're all republicans, >> and so, you know, these things make a difference in terms of how you handle adversity and clearly, trump's defiant, fist pump, his call to fight, fight, fight, his, reluctance to leave the stage. and he there are reports that he wanted to actually carry on with his speech. they indicated a robustness. and of course, that will be contrasted with the rather frail, images that we see
2:30 pm
of president biden. >> no, i absolutely love that reagan anecdote where he, he turns to his, surgeon and says, ihope turns to his, surgeon and says, i hope you're a republican. i've read before that the chief surgeon who i think was a registered democrat , surgeon who i think was a registered democrat, said, mr president, today we're all republicans. and i suppose that is sort of the rally around the flag effect that takes place when something like this happens. but there would be people who perhaps would, just simply follow what their secret service told them to do, duck out of the way , be bundled into out of the way, be bundled into the car quickly, donald trump of course, not doing that, resisting the civil, the secret service to some extent with his raised fist, it shows , i raised fist, it shows, i suppose, quite a quite a bit of his personality there. >> it does. >> it does. >> but it's important to note, of course, that he did duck donald duck. >> and on this occasion, as the memes are suggesting, and actually shows you the importance of actually following
2:31 pm
training, because, we know that that a assassins is not usually the first bullet that kills you. that was true of john kennedy, it's true of many others , and, it's true of many others, and, and trump followed the training and trump followed the training and hitting the floor once he realised that he was under fire and that, of course, is exactly the right thing to do. only when once the situation was clear and the secret service had eliminated the threat, was he able to then, get to his feet and leave the stage now ? and leave the stage now? >> david, just lastly, nigel farage, who's experienced his own political violence, i suppose, on a much milder scale, i should say, is has claimed that, some of the rhetoric coming from left wingers coming from the democrats has has increased the threat of political violence, or that might have something to do with the, the threat to donald trump. what are your thoughts on that ? what are your thoughts on that? >> well, actually, it's quite an interesting and complicated situation here because there's been commentary on both sides. a lot of, republican congressmen
2:32 pm
have actually tweeted that same line as nigel farage, other commenters are pointing to the fact that actually that donald trump hasn't condemned violence. he talks about the people who are locked up for the january 6th storming of the capitol as great patriots. he refers to them as hostages rather than actually people who've engaged in political violence . and they in political violence. and they point to those things as an indication that actually, trump himself has contributed to that febrile atmosphere, which doesn't condemn violence. and of course, the whole idea of contesting the democratic process, the peaceful and lawful way in which, democracies change power. he is contested that at every point and that is seen as actually contributing to a situation whereby people don't feel that they can express themselves through the democratic process. and as a consequence, in some ways fuels that sense of, of, of the threat of violence, although of course, no indications yet at this stage
2:33 pm
that this was a politically motivated assassination, >> it seems that the person concerned, the suspect wasn't particularly politically active. at least that's from initial reports. but david dunn, professor of international politics, really appreciate your expertise on this issue, thanks for joining us, >> coming forjoining us, >> coming up, the latest on the breaking news that human remains have been found where jay slater went missing. spanish police say all indications are the body is that of the british teenager. that after your headlines with ray. >> thanks, guys. 2:33, our top stories . human >> thanks, guys. 2:33, our top stories. human remains >> thanks, guys. 2:33, our top stories . human remains believed stories. human remains believed to be those of missing british teenager jay slater, have been teenagerjay slater, have been found in tenerife. spanish rescue teams made the discovery in the area where the 19 year old went missing last month. his phone was last traced to the masca ravine in a remote

2:42 pm
it. the republican national convention. trump has landed in milwaukee. we're going to have a look inside the convention. that's what we can see on the left of our screen and indeed on the right of our screen . this the right of our screen. this is, of course, the convention that happens once every four years, a nominating to convention select formally select the candidate. of course, trump is the presumptive nominee of the republican party in ages past, this would be an actual contested vote that would take place in this convention. these days , it's simply ceremonial, days, it's simply ceremonial, andifs days, it's simply ceremonial, and it's certainly going to be the place to be, >> even more so than it would have been for those. how many people go to these things? probably thousands. thousands attend these. of course, all the media will be there to see how donald trump speaks after what happened to him. the other day. it will be absolutely fascinating to watch. so i'm glad we're there. gb news will be there bringing you it rather reminiscent of 1984 when margaret thatcher, of course,
2:43 pm
suffered the brighton bomb at the conservative party conference. >> the next morning she got up to the stage and made her speech in the way that she would have donein in the way that she would have done in any way, saying this attempt to destroy democracy by violence will fail. and all attempts to destroy democracy by terrorism will fail. >> yes. it'll be interesting to see what his message here. we're now going to jump you to the shooters house. so this is where he was living, a humble abode, i would say. and that's the live shot there of the home of the shooter. the would be assassin, the failed assassin who has since been annihilated there in, pennsylvania, for you, the live shot of the shooter's house. >> thomas matthew crooks . he was >> thomas matthew crooks. he was only in his early 20s. he had recently graduated from high school just in 2022. some initial reporting has suggested he was rather an outcast at school. suffered bullying at
2:44 pm
school. suffered bullying at school. and perhaps that has all fed through to this to this tragedy. really. of course , not tragedy. really. of course, not just the shooter was killed at the event, but also an audience member, a local fireman. >> yes. we've heard from local media and the like , lots of media and the like, lots of stories about his childhood, how he was at school, clearly a bit of an outsider , massively of an outsider, massively bullied. that's what people have said , and that he'd been, not said, and that he'd been, not allowed or banned or been, kicked out of his, rifle squad at school. so perhaps a bit of a, for want of a better word, a bit of outsider, a bit of a loser at school. but we'll find out more about him and his background, i'm sure in the days to come. >> well, let's get the very latest now with our political edhon latest now with our political editor, christopher hope, who joins us now, because christopher, the prime minister, keir starmer, has spoken to donald trump . donald trump. >> that's right. the pm did speak to donald trump yesterday , speak to donald trump yesterday, 5 or 10 minutes to express his concern and upset across the
2:45 pm
board, across the political landscape about the attempted assassination on donald trump. on late on saturday, uk time. it has prompted the home office to go and speak to candidates, mps , go and speak to candidates, mps, anyone who felt intimidated and threatened during the election campaign to see how we can try and dial down the rhetoric in this country. this is not the same issue with guns, of course, but the fact that this can happen, that people can go go violent from what should be a heated debate, a discourse is clearly, utterly wrong and number 10 are keen to show us that they are on the front foot to a degree. there has been lord walney. he's he's the extremism tsarin walney. he's he's the extremism tsar in terms of, of democracy. and he's concerned about what the government might do next. i think in the wash up of the election campaign, we are seeing attempts to get to grips with this. and we do know also tom and ellie that this conversation happened between the prime minister and mr trump on the tarmac at berlin airport because the pm, of course, flew yesterday to the football to
2:46 pm
watch it. he flew by. it seems like a government plane, the same plane that took me and reporters and lots of other officials and, and ministers to and from nato in washington also flew the prime minister. it seems, to berlin for the for the football final . and there's some football final. and there's some criticism already online about why is he taking a private jet, a jet that went there. i've got to number 10 just for you, tom, to number 10 just for you, tom, to ask, who's paying for it and what's the justification? i think they might. well say that when he got there, he did speak to olaf scholz, the chancellor of germany, and pedro sanchez, who the spanish prime minister, when he got to the ground. so they might feel there were some government, government work done . government, government work done. but of course, you and you and me and emily, we all remember the pressure that labour put on rishi sunak as prime minister over the use of private jets. >> yes, it's interesting because, i mean, their government planes for government business, but in opposition, keir starmer called these private jets as if they were sort of doing private business. interestingly to that, the
2:47 pm
defence secretary, john healey, and keir starmer took two separate different government planes to fly at the same time to the same event in washington dc, the nato summit. it does seem that it was one rule for rishi sunak in government and a completely different rule for keir starmer as as far as keir starmer is concerned, ed miliband won't be happy. >> well, just to clarify the issue, the issue on on john healey and keir starmer is that john healey went a day early and he was there for the opening of the nato summit, whereas the prime ministerjoined, midway through or after it had started. so i think that's why healey went separately to keir starmer, not on the flight with the rest of the press pack and all of the officials. yeah, but no question, during the election campaign before that, in the really all of the time that mr sunak was prime minister there was pressure from labour about why he flying around the country. i think it politically it fed into the idea that he's a very wealthy man who isn't travelling by train like everybody else might do. so
2:48 pm
number 10, of course, said then that it was to make the most efficient use of his time . and efficient use of his time. and i'll be interesting to find out if that's the justification. this time from number 10. >> and we know after sir keir starmer. >> oh, sorry. we know after the, the king's speech that nigel farage is planning to head off to the republican national convention to see trump, his friend, i imagine they'll probably be thinking a lot about security . security. >> well, they will be. and what i'm finding fascinating about this, this visit to, milwaukee later this week by nigel farage of course, the mp for clacton and also, a gb news tv presenter. is he he is forging his own special relationship with donald trump, which by its nature will be deeper than the one, the personal one between sir keir starmer, david lammy and donald trump, and whether he bnngs and donald trump, and whether he brings back any messages to the prime minister whether whether he can use interventions in the house of commons to tell us what donald trump really thinks
2:49 pm
rather than what we think he thinks, due to the washington dc , thinks, due to the washington dc, london connection. i think that's fascinating. and we'll look forward to see more of what nigel farage has to say about that. >> yes, it will be very interesting. thank you, christopher. hope our political editor there in westminster, for us and, we're going to end on some well, i should say some concerning showbiz news. this is all relating to the strictly come dancing dancer graziano di prima. he's been dropped from the show over allegations of gross misconduct, which he says he deeply regrets. >> well, it's been reported that the departure is due to unspecified allegations by those who observed his rehearsals with tv star zara mcdermott last yeah tv star zara mcdermott last year. it's the latest in a string of scandals for the show. >> yes, joining us now is entertainment reporter hayley palmer. hayley, thank you very much indeed. it's a bit of a cloud over this bbc show. >> there really is. i mean, it's meant to be a light entertainment saturday night show which we all live for. >> well, i personally do, i think it's very, very sad indeed.i think it's very, very sad indeed. i mean, look, i've been a dancer my whole life. i've run
2:50 pm
a dancer my whole life. i've run a dancer my whole life. i've run a dance school, a theatre school. i know all about the industry. for me personally, i grew up in very strict dance lessons where we'd have a ballet teacher that would be extremely brutal. i mean, at times we were pushed down into splits, you know . oh, no, can't do that now. know. oh, no, can't do that now. and i've had a prosecco, but, but for me, i've grown up in that kind of strict dance regime. so i feel like if i was to go on strictly, that's what i would expect. now, i think what's happened here, what i can see is they've got west end stars that will go on the show professionals, as contestants , professionals, as contestants, and then you've got people that haven't had any dance experience , haven't had any dance experience, like zara, for example. she looked beautiful. she was technically not a dancer. and i think she probably did struggle. and graziano probably, you know, really did give her a hard time. now, listen, i don't know what happened behind the scenes. i haven't seen the video. all i can say is that i think they probably are expecting too much of them. >> so you think this is a
2:51 pm
cultural clash? actually? >> well, yes, i do, because if you look at giovanni and graziano, they're both italian. maybe they've got different methods then the english do. obviously it's no excuse because like i say, i don't know what's going on behind the scenes and i think what's going to happen now for the future is strictly you're going to need chaperones and you're going to need video surveillance at all times. >> goodness me, we can't really have fun anymore, can we? >> no, we can't. and it is such a shame because i just think when strictly started, it was brilliant fun to see people that couldn't dance, you know, you're like ann widdecombe people. it was great. we were all behind them like, this is fantastic. and now from what i'm hearing behind the scenes, you're just like, it's gone too far. do i think strictly has a future? i'm sorry to say it. i don't think it does. if one more person steps forward, how can they continue? >> really? you think this is existential ? existential? >> i do, yeah, because you've had two professionals get sacked . had two professionals get sacked. >> i mean, yeah, it doesn't look good, does it? and how what do you think about the way the bbc is handling this? >> well obviously they have a procedure. but for me personally, i've looked back at
2:52 pm
the footage and at the time, you know, when they do the show and they go, this is your partner and they're like, oh my god, i'm so happy. and then they do all these interviews, oh my god, he's my best friend. he's like, they're always cuddling aren't they. >> yeah, they look like romantic partners if that is real. >> and how much of that is for the cameras? >> well, i think i mean, you can't say actually i hate him, but but maybe you need to, because i think the public would have preferred if something had come out after the show or when the show was happening, to wait a year later. i think that's why we're kind of like , oh, but i we're kind of like, oh, but i know they're saying production actually came forward with the zara case, not zara. i don't know, i think the thing is late now. how. >> now. >> it is a bit because zara has been pictured with him all smiles since all of this. yeah, she went through his tour. yeah, but it is a bit of a, it is a reality tv show in a way, and it seems as though every single reality show has been tainted by something like this. so even if you go to things like, i don't know, geordie shore, love island people, their mental health hasn't been taken into account enough. hasn't been taken into account enough . people have misbehaved, enough. people have misbehaved, there's been sexism, there's been misogyny, there's been blah, blah , blah, blah blah. blah, blah, blah, blah blah. this is just human interactions
2:53 pm
now. i mean, in case this this dancer has done something terrible and we don't know exactly what he's accused of and all of this. so i don't want to speak too soon, but it is just how humans there are things that are going to go wrong. >> yeah, i think you're right. if you look at big brother, you know, in the early days it was hilarious. we'd watch it and just crack up with people having, you know, serious crazy outbursts. but now it's like they'd be called straight away into the diary room. no, that's not okay. mental health check, you know, so i think there needs to be procedures in place because it's now turned very toxic and yet you look at shows like the x factor, which of course used to be great fun, mainly because they perhaps were quite cruel to people in auditions. >> that doesn't happen anymore. >> that doesn't happen anymore. >> no it doesn't. that wouldn't be allowed to happen anymore. but for me personally, you know, you want to see a bit of real life and you want you want to see that. i think it's a shame it's got to this. and, you know, there's going to be other shows dancing on ice, things like that. people are going to step forward. i mean, have we all gone a bit soft ? gone a bit soft? >> oh, well, that is the question. that is the question.
2:54 pm
and i don't think there is a clear answer to it because you can see very strong arguments on either side. yeah. i mean , if either side. yeah. i mean, if you look at giovanni and graziano, they're top of their game. >> they really are. they're athletes. and, like i say, it's going to be maybe he wasn't taking any any, you know, back talk or whatever. >> thank you very much, hayley palmer, great to speak to you. entertainment reporter of course. that's all from us today. >> yes, but join us again at noon tomorrow. and of course, up next, it's the inimitable martin daubney and a tattooed man. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar, sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello. good afternoon. welcome to your latest gb news weather update brought to you from the met office . through the from the met office. through the rest of the day, there are weather warnings in force for heavy rain across much of england and wales. further north, though, it is that much dnen north, though, it is that much drier, particularly compared to the weekend. it's feeling a bit warmer as well and it will stay dry through much of the night. we're between weather systems
