down 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 were candidates of all parties, particularly women, suffered the most appalling acts of abuse and, and were often put in very frightening positions. i hope very much that we can have a sort of national debate now about how we clean that up . about how we clean that up. >> a man charged with murder after human remains were found in two suitcases in bristol, has now been remanded in custody. jostin andres mosquera is accused of killing 62 year old albert alfonso and 71 year old paul longworth, police say he'd stayed with them at their flat in london, where more remains

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 85th minute of the final game . 85th minute of the final game. they've been incredible really. >> well, fair to say . a very >> well, fair to say. a very mixed reaction from england fans. the supporters in newcastle spoke after the game a bit good, 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, we, i think of it is so cute. didn't make the subs earlier , but he made the right earlier, but he made the right subs this time but it just didn't come across. i reckon he'll retire this time. a different manager, a different team will come across better. i think you should stay. you've done really well, mate, right? regardless of everything you've done. fantastic. thank you very much , pal. much, pal. >> keep it up. i hope he should

stay . stay. >> all right. 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 . slash alerts. >> thank you ray. now we start this hour with the big news that we broke at lunchtime and a body has been found in the search for jay slater and spanish police say all indications are that this is the body of the british teenager who went missing in tenerife last month. and i'm joined now by gb news reporter charlie peters. >> charlie, you've been covering this story since the start, for weeks to the day the grim discovery none of the family wanted tell us more. >> well, this morning it seems that the civil guard recovered those remains , believed to be those remains, believed to be those remains, believed to be

those of jay slater. all indicators they said in a statement released earlier today , statement released earlier today, point it towards those belonging to the british teenager who went missing four weeks ago today. in the last few minutes, we've heard from lancashire police confirming that they've received information from the civil guard that those remains have been found and that they will now continue their investigation to conduct an autopsy. the result of which we expect to come later this week . now it's two, two this week. now it's two, two weeks. also, since the spanish police officially called off their search. now many are asking how could the mountain intervention and rescue group, the specialist wing of the civil guard, have found his remains? this morning? if they had called off that search long ago, well, some speculation on the island from those close to the investigation today saying that the civil guard continued their operation in secrecy with the unique court order that allowed them to continue without ongoing speculation from social media

sleuths and online investigators. who? the police. it's understood, felt as though had distracted from the search and rescue effort. we've also heard today from liberty global, a charity that has supported jay slater's family on tenerife. they said that possessions belonging to jay were found at the site of the remains that were recovered this morning. and what about the location? well, it was near the masca village in the northwest of the island . the northwest of the island. that's been the centre of so much of the searching since the 17th of june. it's where jay's phone last pinged his location, andifs phone last pinged his location, and it's near where he is reported to have had that final phone call with his friends at around 830 in the morning. on that day, where he was last seen and heard from. they also released information the spanish police in their statement saying that the remains were found in an inaccessible and steep location , indicating that if location, indicating that if this. if these are the remains

of jay slater, that he could have fallen down a ravine or a crack in the land , referring, of crack in the land, referring, of course, to the extremely treacherous, rugged mountainous terrain calling masca a village is quite generous, really. it's a handful of buildings in a wild and highly rural area , parts of and highly rural area, parts of tenerife. but that's the latest information that we have now remains recovered after an ongoing secret operation by the civil guard . an autopsy will now civil guard. an autopsy will now take place . take place. >> thank you, charlie peters, for that update . excellent and for that update. excellent and thorough as ever. and let's cross now to tenerife and speak to journalist cleo o'flynn. cleo welcome to the show. so the grim discovery cleo made that none of the family wanted after four weeks of speculation to the day, it seems the remains of jay slater have been found very near to where he originally went missing. >> i think this will, in the minds of many, confirm what they did , did, >> sadly think from quite early on in this investigation that

the teenager had quite likely fallen around the masca area and those of us who know the island as as your reporter, as you say in a very, very thorough covering of today's events, as he mentioned, once you go beyond the roads and paths of masca, if you stray off the path, you are immediately putting yourself in danger of falling down, unchecked and unsignposted ravines and gulfs and cracks in the land . and obviously we don't the land. and obviously we don't know yet. we'll have to wait for results of an autopsy. also, we have to confirm that this is the body of the young man from lancashire. but, you know, the assumptions would be that this is what has happened. >> and cleo, the island of tenerife, has been the subject of international scrutiny and not always of the most flattering nature, with all sorts of stories about the drug industry, the scene out there, cleo, how has this story impacted the mindset of locals

living out there? >> i think for many of them, there was, they felt a bit defensive of the police and the search and rescue forces because, they really do know what kind of job that these teams do. these teams are very, very well trained in searching and rescuing the island of tenerife and the other canary islands. and it doesn't surprise me that they would have continued a search in some form in secret because the spanish police, the canarian police , police, the canarian police, would not be very happy with a media spotlight on them. i'm sure they would be. they are happier to work outside of that kind of media scrutiny that perhaps many other police forces are used to . and certainly there are used to. and certainly there there is quite a common use of secreto samario, which would be a rule that comes into place once. for instance, a body is found or a suspect is arrested in, say, a murder inquiry , which in, say, a murder inquiry, which of course this is not, but that the police can immediately clamp

down a media ban on any coverage of events. and they prefer to work in that way . so, you know, work in that way. so, you know, that was one of the reactions in general, the people of the canary islands, whether we are born here or we've lived here for many, many years, our thoughts, prayers and hearts went out to the family of jay slater. and i know that in the statement today issued through that charity, they have said they do need time and space now to grieve in particular, if this is the body of their son, their brother, their friend. so there was a general feeling of goodwill and care for the family of jay slater and a belief, really a belief that the police and the search and rescue teams did know what they were doing, and if they could find the young man, they would do so. and, you know, it seems that that has now been borne out . been borne out. >> that's a very nice, lovely sentiment to hear at a time. and every parents and families worst nightmare. cleo o'flynn i've got to ask you a point about that

different style of policing and ispoke different style of policing and i spoke to so many british policing experts, international search and rescue experts, and they said it would have been done differently, for example, in britain, where there would have been more openness with the media, more regular press briefings, and that may have damped down on the armchair sleuths. the tiktok detectives who started coming up and getting in the way and spreading rumours and malicious lies, oftentimes, which added to the stress. do you think maybe it might have been better for the spanish police? okay, they have their way of doing things. we do different things in different countries. but do you think a more openness with the media might have dampened down on some of those more unpleasant rumours ? of those more unpleasant rumours? >> you know, one could never say that there are no lessons to be learned, whether you're in an institution, you're an authority or you're a journalist. martin i have lived and worked here for 20 years. i have never, ever known a story that has attracted such intense media speculation. and the conspiracy theories i think, did most harm to the

family , the police here, they, family, the police here, they, you know , perhaps to journalists you know, perhaps to journalists who flew in from the uk , they who flew in from the uk, they might have appeared to be brusque or rude or curt , but brusque or rude or curt, but they have their own way of doing things. i think you will find that they won't suddenly move to holding daily press briefings and being more open with the press, because of what has happened here. they will review the case. i'm sure they will. all institutions do review major cases and this will have been a major case. i think they will also feel that if in fact it is the body of jay slater , that the body of jay slater, that their method of continuing in private for the last two weeks will have, to an extent, been justified because they did want, it would appear now to continue the search. they're using the word discreet when you translate the spanish press release in a discreet way away from the spotlight, that is how they operate best. and they may feel that their mode of operation, modus operandi here in the

canary islands has for them, been justified. >> and cleo police operations are criticised, with missing persons in all countries. we saw in london with abdul ezedi, the chemical attacker whose body was found in the thames a week later, he simply vanished . jay later, he simply vanished. jay slater now the circumstances that ravine, the steep crevice he may have fallen down. sometimes these things happen, cleo o'flynn. because of terrain, because of topography, because of nature, because of bad fortune , because of bad bad fortune, because of bad fortune and unfortunately, because perhaps people don't realise when they visit a different country that away from the holiday zones, the area that they've flown into, that they're staying with, with their friends . staying with, with their friends. >> once you move away from an area you are in a foreign country, you will easily get lost in somewhere like tenerife. i've said this before , when you i've said this before, when you fly in and land in tenerife

south, as you fly over the mountain of today, it looks like a delightfully small and easy to navigate island. it isn't . and i navigate island. it isn't. and i think we i've made mistakes when i've travelled abroad too. you think that you have the lay of the land and you often don't. if there is a salutary lesson, if there is a salutary lesson, if there are lessons to be learned from this very sad event, is that if you do go to a foreign country, take care. take as much care as you would advise anyone to take when they're visiting your country for the first time. because as the mother of a 19 year old myself , i could not year old myself, i could not imagine anything more sad and more devastating than the last four weeks that the family of jay slater have gone through, and the sad news that they might be having to face today. >> cleo o'flynn, journalist in tenerife. thank you for joining us. a really thoughtful and thought provoking interview there. thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us. thank you. very much appreciated. you're welcome. now, gb news can exclusively reveal that's more than 1000 small boats migrants have crossed the english channel since labour has been in

government home. masca to mark white joins us now. mark welcome to the show. well here we go. the boats haven't stopped. in fact, the numbers seem to be going up. mark, there's a certain sense of inevitable inevitability about all of this. >> yeah, there certainly is that grim milestone figure was reached just a few minutes ago, when the last of seven small boats to cross today came into dover harbour before today, there were 758 channel migrants who had made that illegal crossing from france since the labour government came into power on the 5th of july. they're now over the weekend that included a couple of hundred or so over the weekend. then this morning we got word that one boat had come in very early in the morning to dover with 44 people on board, and it looked like it was going to be another bumper day in. sure, it

was with seven small boats in total carrying 370 migrants. and when you , actually calculate all when you, actually calculate all that together, martin, we are now over 1000. since labour came to power 1128 people have now crossed the english channel in small boats since the 1st of july. so just in ten days since labour came to power , they have labour came to power, they have now reached more than 1100 people crossing that english channel. and it is an indication i think, for sir keir starmer and his government of just how difficult it is going to be to try to get to grips with the small boat crisis, he has said. and one of his first acts, when he came to power was to scrap the rwanda deterrent scheme of the rwanda deterrent scheme of the last government, and instead he wants to smash the gangs. well, how long before he goes

after the gangs and how long before they are expecting results? because, as you said there in your question to me, martin, there's an inevitability out of this. we're getting into the very warm, flat, calm summer months when sometimes thousands in a day will come across the channel for this week , mark channel for this week, mark white looks to be ideal circumstances for crossing the channel and a further setback for yvette cooper for sir keir starmer for the labour government. >> the top cop they wanted to take the job, neil basu , turned take the job, neil basu, turned the job down of being in charge of smashing the gangs. do you think maybe, maybe mark, that's because this job is simply the poisoned chalice. it's measurable. you can tell every single day by data that you're not doing your job. who want this job? >> well, i know neil basu and he's a very shrewd man. you know, as you say, why would you

want to take on a job that you're just going to get battered about the head, over because you have not been able to come up with the results that the government wants in terms of, you know, those arrests, those numbers reducing that are coming across. it's extremely difficult. and i'm sure that neil basu and calculating whether or to not take that job took that into consideration. it is a very difficult job if there is a very difficult job if there is successes and i'm sure there will be in terms of arresting individuals and smashing gangs like the previous government did, and law enforcement, the national crime agency, border force and others were actively involved in that. and they had their successes. but the truth of it is it's such a lucrative business worth not just millions, but billions of pounds to the international people smuggling business right across the globe. that there will

always be organised criminal groups only too willing to come in and step in and take over the business. once one particular group has been arrested and taken out of the picture by the authorities . so i think as the authorities. so i think as the summer moves on, the labour government will see for themselves just how difficult it is to get to grips with this problem. >> well , mark white, you've been >> well, mark white, you've been saying for many, many months we can't win the war on drugs. how do we think we're going to stop the boats? excel centre mark white, thank you for joining us with that grim tally of 1000 small boat arrivals. now, since the keir starmer became prime minister, now about to cross the line to the united states, where donald trump is about to attend, the republican national convention, two days after that dramatic assassination attempt on martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel

>> farage. nigel. paul reform uk 21,225. >> believe me, folks, this is just the first step of something thatis just the first step of something that is going to stun all of you this tuesday at 7 pm. >> welcome. the return of nigel farage mp only on gb news. >> britain's news channel . >> britain's news channel. >> britain's news channel. >> welcome back. your time is 326 i'm martin daubney and this is gb news now. later in the show, i'll talk about claims that the european union could be plunged into an unprecedented political crisis this week. but before that, to the latest now on donald trump. and he's going to call for national unity. unity in a major speech that is being rewritten after he was almost assassinated on saturday,

trump will address the republican national convention on thursday, and he revealed the speech i was going to give on thursday was going to be a humdinger. had this not happened, this would have been one of the most incredible speeches. honestly, it's going to be a whole different speech now. we'll have to discuss this. i'm now joined by errol moorcock, who's a spokesperson for republicans overseas uk. errol, always a delight to have your company. an astonishing situation, one i think a lot of us still haven't fully processed millimetres from death and donald trump himself said this is a miracle. i'm here now. but for an act of god, i should be dead. so many questions to be asked about the would be assassin, but can we talk about what seems to be a paradigm shift in the way donald trump wants to address the nation? do you think we could see a less combative, more thoughtful approach from donald trump? we know he believes in god, and

maybe he thinks this was a wake up moment. what do you think we can expect? >> well, donald trump is a you know, a lion of a man. but in this situation, we are going to see somebody who has just had a brush with death, somebody who was millom metres away from being wiped off the face of the map. and because of that, i think his, his, his statement that he made about the speech, i really take him at his word. i believe that he was going to go into that convention with much of the similar rhetoric that that had been, you know , sort of that had been, you know, sort of cataloguing the entire campaign on both sides. and now for once, he's going to have a chance to do what joe biden couldn't do. and that's lead the american people. he's going to use this speech to reach out to moderates. he's going to use the speech to reach out to democrats, to reach out to all americans, because nobody, nobody wanted to see president trump get executed or murdered. unless you're an awful person. and i really don't believe that our democrat, fellow americans wanted to see him die. so i

think this is a chance for donald trump to you know, look at all he's been through, all of the, you know, i don't know if you guys have seen, but they just dropped the classified documents case against him. they said the appointment of jack smith was completely unconstitutional. and it's, you know , it stands to reason that know, it stands to reason that the people who are going to be investigating his assassination had to drop their fraudulent claims against him . so it almost claims against him. so it almost seems like all the stars are lining up in more ways than one for president trump. and he's going to have a chance to really speak to the american people. and i'm i'm so grateful and honoured to be able to hear him speak, because a lot of us, you know, a lot of us haven't had that moment where our side was, was given a fair shake. and i think everybody is going to be tuning in and they're going to hear a man who's been through the wringer, who's who's given up everything as he should be on a on a boat in the mediterranean with his billions of dollars. instead he fought for the little guy and he almost gave his life for it. and i think that's going to play out. like you mentioned, he's he's a god fearing man. he's somebody who who believes in luck. but in his interview with the new york post, he said

maybe it wasn't luck, maybe it was god. and i think that's going to play into his speech. he's going to try to unify the nation. he's going to, you know, bnng nation. he's going to, you know, bring people together in a way that joe biden hasn't been able to.joe that joe biden hasn't been able to. joe biden's been giving press conferences to basically nobody. i don't know anybody who's actually watching those. they're they're borderline propaganda. it's the same old, you know, let's all come together. i mean , nobody, nobody together. i mean, nobody, nobody cares. this this is not the way the country has been run. and i think going forward, we're going to see donald trump take this mantle and run with it like he's always done. he's the teflon don for a reason. >> and errol, a former ambassador to america from the uk , lord darroch, he said trump uk, lord darroch, he said trump is looking in destructible politically now. ronald reagan had an eight point bump back in 1981. after that attempted assassination. what effect has this had on the polling on the american electorate ? american electorate? >> well, it's definitely given a trump an edge. now, i don't want to go and say that that the election's in the bag. i think that's premature. i think the republicans need to be very careful to think that that the amount of sympathy that's going on today is going to still

continue in three months. keep in mind, you know, this is a country that that quickly forgets its news cycle. and the vitriol from the left against donald trump, they've already come up with things. it's staged. it was a, you know, made up event. there's already, you know, fissures happening in the perhaps unity that we saw in the first few days. so i do believe that the advantage he has is real. and i think that any red blooded american who was undecided now , i mean, i don't undecided now, i mean, i don't imagine anybody could, could look at these two candidates and see one man who could barely read a teleprompter, another man who can get shot in the head and hop up and yell, fight, fight, fight. they say fight or flight response. donald trump's a fighter, and i think the american people are fighters. so l, american people are fighters. so i, i really do think this helps him. but in probably one of the most, you know, melancholy ways possible, it's an awful that the situation had to get to this point. and now it's important for donald trump to take this, this moment in time, this historical opportunity, and use it to not galvanise his base, rather, but unify everybody together. and if he does that,

if he's able to do and convey that message in this convention, i think there's no question that he wins in a landslide. maybe not as great as reagan. i don't know if anybody could win that many states. again, just considering how demographics work, but i do think that this this bodes well for donald trump. but more importantly, it bodes well for america going forward and our allies . forward and our allies. >> okay, aaron morgan, thanks for joining us. we have to leave forjoining us. we have to leave it there. always a pleasure to have your company. thank you. now have lots more on donald trump throughout the show of course, and there's plenty of coverage on our website gbnews.com. you've helped to make it the fastest growing national news website in the country. loads more still to come between now and 4:00. after last night's heartbreaking defeat in the euro 2024 final, we'll ask england fans whether gareth southgate should stay or should he go. but first it's your headlines with ray addison . your headlines with ray addison. >> martin, thanks. 332 our top stories human remains believed to be those of missing british teenager jay slater, have been teenagerjay slater, have been found in tenerife . spanish

home city of nottingham for their thoughts. >> i think it's up to him because, okay, there's a lot of tactical errors he made, but all managers make those errors and i think you have to give people a chance.i think you have to give people a chance. i think he should go. and the reason is that he's too much of , he's and the reason is that he's too much of, he's got no and the reason is that he's too much of , he's got no forceful much of, he's got no forceful forcefulness in it. the team are full of great players, really great players. in my in my opinion . and what he he doesn't opinion. and what he he doesn't play opinion. and what he he doesn't play them in their best positions. >> he don't god. >> he don't god. >> but i think he should have made changes like earlier if you know what i mean. >> and when he did so and he should have took kane off. i think for me it needs to change. so i don't think he's good enough to get us any further like kind of thing. >> i was going to say, now, welcome back. in the wake of

last night's defeat, sir keir starmer has said his government wants to boost grassroots sport and in particular, access for children. well, i'm joined in our studio by our political correspondent, olivia utley olivia. i was chortling away in the break there because i'm going to be a cynic now, sir keir starmer thought england were going to win the european championship. let's make the announcement. the next morning. we really care about grassroots football. they were hoping to wide ride a wave of national glory. am i being a cynic? >> i think it's fair to say that this new policy announcement was probably dreamt up in the hope that england was going to win. there isn't very much meat on the bones yet. >> lisa nandy the new dcms secretary, has said that labour will give more support to grassroots football clubs in an aim to get more children into football in various areas up and down the country. >> what exactly support means? we're yet to find out. will there actually be any money behind it? it's possible that labour left the wording a little

vague, because perhaps if england had won, it would have been easier to sort of capitalise on that. and perhaps more funding would have gone into these into these, football clubs. but maybe i'm being a bit too cynical to here, lisa nandy has also said that she's going to look at some of the barriers to look at some of the barriers to stopping the why kids aren't getting into sport, including sort of expensive pe kits she talks about. so she's going to be having a look at that too. but at the moment, as i say, it's all very vague. more support for grassroots football clubs in the form of money or in the form of what we don't quite know. >> one thing that is a serious issue and like steve, my senior producer, was talking about this morning, and that is a lot of local authorities, a lot of councils are selling off school sports fields, particularly in councils, where they're basically potless to real estate developers. so selling off pubuc developers. so selling off public land where kids could play public land where kids could play football, so they can make some money off real estate to property developers. now, we know that the labour party are all about build, build, build , all about build, build, build, but if they're building on school fields, maybe that's

something that they should be looking at. >> it doesn't sound as though yet the labour party is sort of planning on building on sports fields. the land which they're talking about building on is, is grey field land, as keir starmer is talking about. and it's more kind of car parks or in some cases perhaps, golfing ranges rather than rather than sort of areas where children might play football. but you do raise a very interesting point about, about councils selling off that land to, to real estate developers. now, that is usually happening because councils like birmingham, for example, are either bankrupt or on the point of bankruptcy. that is obviously a very, very difficult problem for the labour party for the government to try to solve, because it's on a very local level and the government can't really be seen to be interfering in council issues. so it might have quite a hard time actually widening this access to football clubs when, as you say, quite a lot of it comes down to land and who owns it, it does . who owns it, it does. >> and olivia utley wonder if many people are watching this, like me, thinking, why don't politicians just keep their nose out of football? just let us

enjoy the match even when we lose. olivia utley always a pleasure. thank you very much. now moving on. the government's new minister for eu relations is in brussels today. is this part of the labour party's long march to rejoining the european union? i'm martin daubney gb news, britain's news

welcome back. your time is 348. i'm martin daubney. this is gb news. when sir keir starmer announced his cabinet just over a week ago, we all focused on his new chancellor, home secretary and so on. but one appointment that passed most people's beady eyes was making nick thomas—symonds the new minister for european union relations . well, he's in union relations. well, he's in brussels today, wasting no time meeting eu commission executive vice president maros sefcovic. the government says it's part of their plan to reset relations with the european bloc. but is it just the first step towards

overturning brexit and returning to the bosom of the european union? well, to discuss this, i'm now joined by richard morley, who's the deputy leader of the rejoin eu party and a great sparring partner on this show. richard, welcome to the show. richard, welcome to the show. always a pleasure . you've show. always a pleasure. you've got to be delighted. let's be honest, richard, that we've got a labour regime in power. they wasted no time in washington at the nato summit, cosying up to brussels. and now week two, they're on the eurostar straight back into the belly of the beast. >> well, of course i'm very pleased that labour has seen the light. you could say, yes. they seem to be on the path towards closer relationships with europe. and i think that is a very positive thing. it's also what the british people , by what what the british people, by what we see in the polls. wish, we can't of course , rejoin the eu can't of course, rejoin the eu in a single stage. but he is doing the obvious thing and beginning to , stage the

beginning to, stage the preliminary steps towards a greater integration with europe than we've had under the conservative government. and now you've hit on a key point there. >> we probably won't get a second referendum. not even the labour party surely would be crazy enough to risk that, or at least put us through another referendum again. but what we're seeing instead , richard morley, seeing instead, richard morley, is something more sinister. it's death by a thousand treaties. it's political declaration. so beloved of brussels, david lammy wants declaration on things like energy, deals on climate change, illegal immigration and of course, everybody knows richard michel barnier, your best pal, has said all along we cannot cherry pick if we want these piecemeal deals that will come at a price and the price will be freedom of movement. is that what you want? richard morley ? what you want? richard morley? >> well, you talk about it as if it's a price that we have to pay- it's a price that we have to pay. i think freedom of movement is a liberation that we receive

as a benefit of these closer negotiations. and i know that many, many english people want to be able to travel and work and return to the freedoms they once had in europe. this is a very, very popular move and it's not only important for people freedom, but the freedom of movement of goods is equally on the cards and also very important because i know that british businesses , particularly british businesses, particularly small businesses, are suffering from the red tape of the bureaucracy and the extra costs that brexit has put upon them to sell their wares to our closest neighbours. and that is something which has done real harm to the british economy and many small businesses across the country. and that is what the labour government wants to attend to, and i'm sure they will. >> well, richard , both imports >> well, richard, both imports and exports with the european union have increased since brexit. there may have been a few minor niggles, but the net numbers in and out are both up. we're on groundhog day, richard. richard morley, we are on

groundhog day. like you still talk about freedom of movement being a net benefit to british people. you mean people who have second homes in europe? people who want to go and travel? a tiny minority of the privileged few, whereas millions of low paid individuals came into britain and took jobs from the working classes, where at the same position in this conversation we were in 2016. >> well, first of all, on this point about imports and exports, i dare say that your facts are correct on the total numbers involved. but i was talking about small businesses , and about small businesses, and small businesses involve a great deal more people than the large corporations and big businesses are that are doubtless benefiting in some ways from brexit and small businesses are is a very big concern for my party. we represent small, ordinary people wanting to survive. on the question of what was the other point you raised? sorry >> it was quite a simple point. and that is millions of low paid workers came in and took the working class jobs, and that's why they voted en masse for

brexit. >> yes, of course. now, the point is that freedom of movement is most desired by young people who are used to going abroad and studying or living there for short periods, 2 or 3 years. and they want to be able to have that freedom to do this again, not necessarily to settle in europe, but to get the experience and the work benefits which they would get from being in europe for a few years. and that freedom has been taken away from them. and that is precisely the area in which i know that the labour minister and the eu are going to be discussing this afternoon. it was on that particular point which was relevant to their discussions. >> okay. can i interject? we've got we've got 20s. do you think labour wants to get us back into the eu? >> i think labour wants to have a policy of common sense, and it's common sense for us to have closer ties with the eu for the preparation of eventual reintegration when the time is right. >> and i think, richard, i think that's the most honest word you said in this conversation, the

eventual rejoining. you're always a pleasure to have on the show. richard morley, the deputy leader of the rejoin eu party. thanks for joining leader of the rejoin eu party. thanks forjoining us. now, stand by for our big interview with ben habib, who's been sacked as the deputy leader of reform uk by nigel farage. and believe me, he's going to come in off of his long run. believe me, he's going to come in off of his long run . this is in off of his long run. this is going to be an explosive interview, not to be missed. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel now. it's your weather with annie shuttleworth . shuttleworth. >> 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 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

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. >> well, in other news, today, a man charged with murder after human remains were found in two suitcases in bristol has been remanded in custody. jostin andres mosquera is accused of killing 62 year old albert alfonso and 71 year old paul longworth. police say he'd stayed with them at their flat in london, where the remains were found. the 34 year old is due to appear in court on wednesday. meanwhile police are scouring a farm in hertfordshire for the remains of a woman who was murdered back in 1969. muriel mckay was kidnapped and held ransom when she was mistaken for the then wife of media mogul rupert murdoch. brothers arthur nizamuddin hussain demanded £1 million. they were convicted of her kidnap and murder, but her body

what what do we have? >> yeah, i certainly do. martin. there's been a security scare in jersey during the king and queen's official engagements there. the incidents kind of happening or has happened, i should say, in a liberation square, a big open air area of the capital of jersey, the king and queen and stands were mingling around various displays that had been set up, and they were speaking to people waiting to see them. and then a i understand a small issue of concern was raised and the king and queen were forced to cut short. essentially, the engagement inside liberation square and were kind of ushered away to safety. it turns out, though, just to be a false alarm, the issue has been kind of resolved , as it were, a small of resolved, as it were, a small issue of concern, as i say, and they understand the king and queen's engagements have very much resumed as normal. so a small blip, i should say, rather than any full blown security scare. however, of course , if scare. however, of course, if any kind of security issue anses any kind of security issue arises when it comes to members of the royal family, every

precaution is very much taken. and that's what we've seen play out here in jersey this afternoon. >> okay, cameron walker, thank you for that update. they're all safe for now. thank you . now safe for now. thank you. now moving on to the news that a body has been found in the search for jay slater. spanish police say all indications are that this is the body of the british teenager who went missing in tenerife last month. and i'm joined now by gb news reporter charlie peters. charlie, been across this story since the start for weeks. the day the grim news, the family didn't want to hear. tell us more. >> well, a body was recovered this morning near the village of masca, a collection of buildings in the northwest of the island, very close to the final location where where jay slater's phone was pinged on the 17th of june, four weeks ago today when he went missing . now, in a press went missing. now, in a press release, the civil guard, the authority that's run the search and rescue operation , said that and rescue operation, said that the body was recovered in a

steep area, which indicates that there could have been a fool. that led to the body being trapped in that location. now, the search was originally launched on tuesday the 17th or the 18th of june, the day after jay slater went missing. it continued publicly for two weeks before that massive operation to search for jay slater on the second saturday of the search, but after that, the civil guard said they had cooled off. they're on the ground investigation and had kept all leads and all enquiries open as they continued their wider investigation. it now appears that that statement wasn't necessarily an accurate representation of their operations, because this morning the mountain rescue intervention group did recover these remains. now that does suggest that in the background they had continued a constant search, a daily search in the area, despite telling people that they

had not continued to look for jay slater on the ground with those specialist rescue groups. we have previously seen helicopters, drones and sniffer dogs brought in from mainland spain those specialist resources, but does now appear that that search for jay slater did continue on the ground and they have recovered a body this morning. we've also had a further update from a charity called the lbgt group, which has supported jay slater's family on the ground, in particular, debbie duncan , his mother, debbie duncan, his mother, saying that jay's possessions were among those items recovered this morning. now we'll have an autopsy and a dna test to assess whether or not this was jay slater's body. but the police saying today that all indications do suggest that it is . is. >> okay. thank you, tony peters, for that comprehensive update. thank you. now, as promised to the problems in reform uk last week, nigel farage replaced ben habib as the party's deputy leader with richard tice, and it's fair to say that mr habib

hasn't taken that decision particularly well. and he joins me now in the studio. ben, welcome to the show . always delight. >> i love the way you guys set it up. >> i just set it up. >> i just set it up. >> well, you wrote a piece in the sunday times yesterday where you said nigel farage filed , you said nigel farage filed, fired me. >> and you talk about, the democratic deficit in the party. you say reform needs reform . you say reform needs reform. what do you mean by that? >> okay, so the headline, nigel farage fired me wasn't written by me. that was written by the sunday times to just make that utterly clear, this is a debate. the democratisation of reform uk is a debate i've been having with richard and now with nigel since before i joined the party, and it was critical to me that i didn't join reform without it acting in a consensual way. and actually i asked for the democratic democratisation of the party before i signed up in march 2023. that was refused , march 2023. that was refused, and richard very kindly wrote me and richard very kindly wrote me a letter, effectively affirming

a letter, effectively affirming a few critical points , like we a few critical points, like we would stand against all the tories across the country and that we would work in a consensual manner. and at the beginning of the general election, i said to richard, you know, when this election is oven know, when this election is over, assuming we get the seats and the number of votes we think we're going to get or, you know, do well, we've got to move to democratisation. you can't create a movement of people. and then champion those people with a promoting the democratic unit thatis a promoting the democratic unit that is the united kingdom making the arguments for the sovereignty of the uk through our democratic parliament, and yet have a massive democratic deficit ourselves specifically. >> what do you mean when you say you won't see the party have more democracy? yeah. >> so the party at the moment is structured as a limited liability company with 15 shares, eight of which are owned by nigel and five are owned by richard. but of course, the eight out of 15 is over 50. and that gives nigel basically complete control of the private limited party. and that worked very well as an insurgent party getting it on the map. but now

we have an obligation to the 4.1 million people who voted for us and those who would have voted for us if they weren't scared by the tories. you know, lie—in. that we would split the conservative vote. you know, there are many people out there who would have also voted for us if it hadn't been for that threat. and so we have a movement to whom we are obliged, and we are all about the democracy in the united kingdom. we're all about british sovereignty . and i think it sovereignty. and i think it therefore is required , therefore is required, particularly if nigel is serious and i hope he is about reform becoming the government in 2029. we've got to democratise before we get to 2020. can you imagine fighting an election to become the government of the country when one man owns or controls the party? it's untenable. so there's a discussion that the party has to have now. it's not a knee jerk reaction to my being fired. i made a speech on this two weeks ago in wellingborough, where i was standing, and the article that you read in the sunday times was actually drafted before i was fired. for what it's worth, it was always

coming on sunday, >> okay, so specifically when you talk about the democracy , do you talk about the democracy, do you talk about the democracy, do you mean it should be a party with membership where members have a vote and members have the power to remove the leader ? power to remove the leader? >> yeah. so all political parties are structured so that members basically have a say in the creation of party policy. they may not be the deciding factor, but they have a mechanism by which they can voice that. there are elections that take place, particularly for the party leader, and you have and but beyond that, you also have committees and structures and so on that ensure that those in and around the party, the hierarchy, the shadow cabinet, for example, and so on, have a say, a genuine say in the way stuff moves forward and that is critical. >> what would you say to the people? a lot of people who are saying you're giving reforms, critics precisely what they want. you're causing a civil war. you're causing a civil war. you're causing a civil war. you're causing revolt within the ranks. the party doesn't need that right now. it's only just got its feet under the table. >> this is not a civil war. this

is something that i've been it's a it's a debate about how we structure this party and making sure that we are true and act with principles and integrity to the movement that we've created, that movement doesn't belong to us. we're obliged to that movement , us. we're obliged to that movement, and we must now act like a proper party. and we must take those people as best we can under our wing, and we must treat them with kids gloves. we have a debt of gratitude and an obugafion have a debt of gratitude and an obligation to the british people and the and that movement. and that cannot be discharged as if it's a private ownership. and this has got no revolt. listen i love all the policies for which reform you know, for which i stood on in the general election. this country will only prosper if reform forms a government. and i don't care whether i'm deputy leader or not. couldn't give a damn. what i want to do is make sure that reform uk, where i have absolutely with richard , created absolutely with richard, created that movement. i give it every opportunity to be a principled party with integrity that can

win that general election in 2029. i'll do any task that nigel asks me to do, including cleaning the bogs, if that's what's required to get us elected. but i have to talk about the principles and the and the foundations of which i think the foundations of which i think the party will be successful. >> at the moment, it feels like you're outside the tent. do you want to be back inside the tent? do you want to be part of reform? would you like to get back in? >> what's critical to me is the political expediency in cronyism never take precedence over principle and integrity. we've got to change politics for good. the way the labour party and the conservative party have governed us for 27 years is unacceptable. so yes, of course, i'd love to go on contributing to an entity where i've put my heart and soul and i think have been, you know, quite a big contributor and responsible for the creation of this wonderful movement. but it's got to be with principles. and so my principles come first, i'm afraid. >> are you hopeful that that is possible, that you can shake

hands again and move on and get stuck? >> and, i mean, i could give nigel and richard both a cuddle if they were here. that's it's not a matter of shaking hands. there's no there's no personal grievance. this is about doing the right thing for the party in the right thing for the party in the country. do you think this is a healthy conversation to have? >> because critics of the party, you know, enemies of the party might start saying the same things. and i guess the party will need to know how to answer those questions. >> much better to have this discussion five years out from a general election than to be doing this 12 months out. >> okay. barnaby, would you like to send a message to nigel farage, who makes his comeback in this studio tomorrow night? he's sure to see this interview. would you like to say to nigel? >> i say, nigel. yeah. welcome back to gb news good to have you back. >> i mean, like a love letter to you. >> i don't do love letters to other men. >> okay, on that point, let's move on. benabib. thank you very much for joining move on. benabib. thank you very much forjoining us. i think it's a very, very healthy conversation to have out in the open. thanks for joining conversation to have out in the open. thanks forjoining us here in the studio. now, gb news can exclusively reveal that more than 1000 small boats migrants have crossed the english channel

since labour have been in government. our homeland security editor, mark white, joins us now. mark welcome to the show. first we had stop the boats. then we had smash the gangs. and yet inexorably, inevitably, perhaps , the numbers inevitably, perhaps, the numbers continue to increase . continue to increase. >> yes. and that grim milestone was reached just over an hour ago when the last of seven small boats arrived at dover harbour, carrying 370 in total for today, and that added to the 758 who had come across so far since labour came to power on the 5th of july. we've now reached 1128 small boat migrants who have reached the uk since labour came to power . so reached the uk since labour came to power. so just in ten days, more than 1100 migrants having crossed the channel, an indication definitely for keir. keir starmer's government and

his ministers of just what a difficult job they will have in trying to do any better than the conservatives did when they were in power . conservatives did when they were in power. because, of conservatives did when they were in power . because, of course, in power. because, of course, one of the first things that sir keir starmer did when he got the keys to downing street was to immediately scrap the rwanda deterrent scheme that rishi sunak was championing so vehemently in the last months of his government, saying that this would be the deterrent that would be the deterrent that would stop the migrants coming across the channel, will secure. summer didn't believe that for a second. that has been scrapped and instead sir keir starmer is effectively betting the house on being able to go after the people smugglers and smashing the gangs . people smugglers and smashing the gangs. something that the conservatives and all of law enforcement in terms of the national crime agency, police forces, border force, immigration enforcement were not

able to do. but now, sir keir starmer believes that a souped up border security command will actually be able to have a better result than what the conservatives have had . conservatives have had. >> mark white, thank you for joining us on the show. and of course, neil basu, the guy they wanted to commandeer this mission. he's turned the job down so never rains. but it pours for the labour government, who can't stop the boats either. mark white, thank you very much for joining us. now donald trump forjoining us. now donald trump is about to attend the republican national convention. two days after that dramatic assassination attempt on martin daubney on gb news britain's news channel

good luck! >> now huge news coming out of the united states this afternoon. and it's good news for donald trump. his classified documents case has been sensationally thrown out of court. a florida judge ruled that the prosecutor had been unlawfully appointed and meanwhile, trump is going to call for national unity in a major speech that is being rewritten after he was almost assassinated on saturday, trump will address the republican national convention this week, and he revealed the speech i was going to give on thursday was going to give on thursday was going to give on thursday was going to be a humdinger. had this not happened , this would this not happened, this would have been one of the most incredible speeches . honestly, incredible speeches. honestly, it's going to be a whole different speech now, one on both those matters. let's speak to the us political journalist, laurie laird. laurie, welcome to the show . always a delight to the show. always a delight to have your company. what an astonishing few days it's been for donald trump. first of all, he was almost killed in full view of millions of people. now, this astonishing revelation of the court case. tell us more about this court case in

florida. >> yeah, this has caught everybody by surprise. >> this is one of the cases to do with donald trump retaining documents from his presidency. and you'll remember , joe biden and you'll remember, joe biden was also, accused of the same thing in joe biden's case. he gave the documents back. >> donald trump refused to do that. now, jack smith, a special prosecutor, prosecuted this case in the state of florida. >> and the judge hearing it, aileen cannon, was appointed by trump. >> well, how relevant that is, we don't know. but certainly people who would like to have seen that that case go forward will think that perhaps she did have some kind of bias toward her benefactor. in any case, retaining these documents could be a federal crime. this, canon says jack smith, the prosecutor, doesn't have the legal scope to bnng doesn't have the legal scope to bring this case. now, we're all familiar with the term special prosecutor, right? we've heard a lot about this over the years. does this mean that special prosecutors do not have that kind of power ?

kind of power? >> there are many implications that will flow from this case. >> but in the first instance, fantastic for news donald trump as the republican convention opens and lori's an astonishing chain of events in many ways. >> they try to impeach donald trump. they tried to take him to court , they tried to jail him. court, they tried to jail him. and the weekend they even tried to assassinate him. and it's been an astonishing chain of events. laurie laird, a former ambassador to the united states, ambassador to the united states, a guy called lord darroch, a british ambassador, said trump is starting to look indestructible . laurie laird indestructible. laurie laird when ronald reagan had the attempted assassination on his life in 1981, he enjoyed an eight point poll bump. do you think all of these events now coming together seem to be pointing towards an inevitability that donald trump will be elected as the next president of the usa ? president of the usa? >> i think that the sequence of events certainly is very, very good for trump, you know, and it's a shame that we're talking

about this assassination attempt in political terms. >> but that is what we do. and it is really miraculous that he is still with us. but my word, the fact that he survived this and look at the video when donald trump manages to get off the floor, put his fist up and say , fight, fight, fight. say, fight, fight, fight. >> this increases this sort of almost messianic image that he has amongst his followers. and i think if he is able to keep the discipline that he's shown over the past couple of days, if he's able to not descend into some of the uglier language that he's some sometimes uses, if there are any undecided voters in the us and there aren't that many of them in a polarised place, but this could help with those undecided voters. >> and in some of these swing states, we may see votes decided by tiny , tiny margins. so this by tiny, tiny margins. so this is positive for donald trump as much as it could have been a tragedy and was a tragedy. one

man at the rally lost his life. >> and laurie laird, as far as this, this new tone that donald trump seems to be hinting at throwing his speech in the bin, perhaps in a more combative, nature that he normally would engage with president joe biden. do you think this near death experience we know, he said , experience we know, he said, this is the miracle. it's a miracle i'm alive. i should be dead. we know he believes in god. could this experience be an epiphany in a sense, and see a new way of attempting to engage with the electorate that's less combative and more thoughtful? >> i think there will be a range of opinions here. mine would be that, no, that this will last a very, very short period of time. >> and in fact, on the plane to milwaukee to get to the convention, donald trump gave an interview to the new york post interview to the new york post in which she said, yes, i'm going to throw my speech in the bin and hinted that the speech was going to the new speech

would not include talking about. >> and these are his words now, joe biden's horrible and corrupt government. so saying, i'm not going to talk about it, but i'm going to talk about it, but i'm going to talk about it, i think suggests that we could see this rhetoric elevated pretty soon. donald trump also said, i want to unite the country, but that may not be possible. so this kumbaya moment in us politics, my guess would be it's not going to last all that long. and i think the other thing to look at is not just trump's rhetoric, but some of the people who are proxies for donald trump, people like j.d. vance, which is the name they're throwing about for vice president. i don't think it will be him, marjorie taylor greene, a very controversial republican congresswoman. she is on the on the, list to speak at the convention, very divisive. so i think it's not just what donald trump says. it's what his allies say as well. >> okay. thank you, laura. and we can see their pictures outside the republican national convention will cross there later. live in the show. thank

you very much, laurie laird, always a pleasure to have you on the show. thank you. now, in a few minutes i'll have more on that assassination attempt on donald trump and how it's increased security fears amongst mps here in britain. but first, your latest news headlines with polly middlehurst. >> the headlines this hour, a body believed to be that of the missing british teenager jay slater, has 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. his possessions and items of clothing are understood to have been found with the body. in a statement, the civil guard said he may have died due to an accidental fall, but a post—mortem will be carried out to establish the exact cause of death . the king has written to death. the king has written to donald trump following the

assassination attempt in pennsylvania at the weekend. buckingham palace not disclosing the details of the correspondence, but it is understood to have condemned the violence, expressed condolences for the victims and wish the former president a quick recovery. meanwhile, a florida judge made the decision after finding the prosecutor had been unlawfully appointed to throw out the case against donald trump. trump says all other cases against him should now be quickly dismissed. but the decision is likely to be appealed and a man charged with the murder after human remains were found in two suitcases in bristol, has been remanded in custody. justina andres mosquera is accused of killing 62 year old albert alfonso and 71 year old albert alfonso and 71 year old paul longworth. police say he'd stayed with them in their flat in london, where more remains were found. the 34 year old is due to appear in court on wednesday , and a security scare wednesday, and a security scare dunng wednesday, and a security scare during the king of queens visit to jersey ended up being a false alarm . the royals, who are on a

alarm. the royals, who are on a two day tour of the channel islands at the moment, were pulled away after a member of their contingent whispered something into queen camilla's ear. they were then taken to a nearby hotel. a full background check was carried out and their program resumed shortly afterwards. that's the headlines from gb news for now. i'm polly middlehurst back in half an houn middlehurst back in half an hour. see you then. >> 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. >> thank you polly. now if you want to get in touch with us here @gbnews, simply go to gbnews.com/yoursay lie—in. i'll read out the rest of your messages a little later in the show. martin daubney on gb

welcome back. your time is 438. i'm martin daubney on gb news now. the assassination attempt on donald trump has prompted fresh concerns over the safety of mps in this country, with commons speaker sir lindsay hoyle having previously said that the issue keeps him awake at night . and let's discuss this at night. and let's discuss this story and others now with gb news political editor christopher hope, who joins me in the studio. chris, welcome to the show. always a pleasure . so the show. always a pleasure. so nigel farage, of course, is the bndge nigel farage, of course, is the bridge between america and britain security close to his heart after his misadventures? donald trump, an astonishing situation on the weekend and now the now the security on both sides of the atlantic hoving into view. tell us more. >> yeah. farage himself. nigel farage, gb news presenter, of course, leader of the reform uk party, mp for clacton. he is he is a kind of a rope bridge. an unofficial bridge. the official bndgeis unofficial bridge. the official bridge is the special relationship uniting of the uk

and usa been in place since before the second world war. the rope, the swing bridge maybe i'm not sure what what kind of bndge not sure what what kind of bridge farage is, but he certainly is something because he's got this connection into donald trump, who now looks even more likely to become the president of the united states. at the end of this year. he's flying off to america on thursday. i think that relationship with trump is going to be so fascinating. over the next five years, he'll be able to say, well, you say that to the foreign secretary, david lammy. donald trump told me this just last week, and that kind of text, that context and that difficult tension there between the two trumps personal friendship with farage against the corporate one between uk, us will be fascinating. but the attempt on trump's life is what's dominating talk over in westminster . we've heard from westminster. we've heard from the, the, the number 10. they're saying that the home office is now going to talk to people who had threats against them, candidates, mps and work out what lessons can be learned that would have taken place. anyway. i think it's got an extra edge to it after what happened to trump. we haven't got the gun issue in this country, thank

goodness, but we have got a similar toxic language on on twitter, social media x , twitter, social media x, whatever, whatever you call it that exists. i think ensuring that exists. i think ensuring thatis that exists. i think ensuring that is that is dialled down is a priority of all the party leaders. >> and this conversation is being had with with fresh vim today, as it were, because lord walney, who wrote the report into toxicity in politics and the increasing violence, john woodcock, of course. but on this show, many times, in fact, i'm having on the show tonight, i'm covering for nigel tonight, 7 to 8 pm. he'll be on that show. he's talking about the likelihood of a vicious attack on british mps increasing. >> yeah, yeah, well, we don't know. we hope not. you know, and i'm sure they're being protected rightly so. and security is a big issue for mps. but the home office is now reviewing that properly. there's a group looking at it. i think that's really, really important because i think and lord walney, jonathan, jonathan woodcock, john woodcock did do this report for the tory government. the same issues remain now as for keir starmer, he's back in the uk now from the football. last

night he met with, olaf scholz, the german chancellor. pedro sanchez, the spanish prime minister. he flew, we think, by private jet to berlin. there's been some criticism of that because of course, the labour had a go at rishi sunak for going by. private jet number 10 aren't really confirming this yet, but it looks like he went on the same plane that i went with him to the nato summit. why are you smiling, martin? >> well, because a lot of people would naturally say that this is hypocrisy. you know, here's here's a party that's no no shoving net zero, no tariffs on a busy man. >> well he's got he's a busy man. his prime minister. >> so i think that's fine. so long as you don't moralise to others it's like do what i say not do what i do. and that's the conversation. people look at this as hypocrisy. anyway, he's back in the country . let's talk back in the country. let's talk about the feeling. i think very much so that the labour party is cosying up to brussels . cosying up to brussels. >> well, nick thomas—symonds, so what's interesting is there were three people in charge of europe policy. you've got david lammy as foreign secretary. we get

that he's our chief diplomat on the world stage. you've got stephen doughty , who's the stephen doughty, who's the europe minister within the cho, and then, weirdly, you've got another europe minister called nick thomas—symonds in a cabinet office somewhere away from the foreign office and nick thomas—symonds. hisjob is thomas—symonds. his job is relations with europe. and he's now on the, on the, on the, the train that you used to get when you're a brexit party mep. he's on the one back from blighty to brussels and he's speaking to mario sarcevic, who's the chief negotiator, i'm interested in, in this i didn't see the word brexit mentioned in his tweet. i wonder if brexit is now a bad word and it's all about rebuilding the uk europe relationship again . you're relationship again. you're smiling. i won't i won't ask why martin? because they mention the wall. >> don't mention the wall. >> don't mention the wall. >> i don't want to trigger you with brexit, but i think i do think that this government is trying to reset that relationship with the european union. and trying to work out a way of getting into bed with them, to use that term, or maybe on some migrant swaps , returns, on some migrant swaps, returns,

agreements, defence deals which won't undermine nato veterinary deals, and they just want to soften the hard edges of brexit. but what they do say and i will keep repeating it for viewers and for you and listeners, they will not go back on the single market or customs union or join the eu. >> no, but what it appears david lammy was, was saying at the nato summit in washington, the one that you were at, he would like deals on energy, on climate change and evil, even illegal migration. but these won't be things we get to vote on. they'll be political declarations. it's a back door reversal of brexit. well, a lot of people are going to say death by a thousand paper cuts. >> they are saying get a better deal >> they are saying get a better deal. i suppose all the big focus for me is next year's renegotiation or reassessment of the trade and cooperation agreement . agreement. >> fishing's up for grabs and all the big fish is the dog that has embarked. >> martin, i know you love your metaphors. fish is a dog that hasn't barked yet. it will. it will bark. not even dogfish. catfish. your old fish will bark. because what that means is that we have. we're going to get back control over large, vast areas of our fishing. >> do you think that's going to

happen? >> here's what i think is going to happen michel barnier. >> will that be will that be negotiated away in talks next year? >> michel barnier was the most excellent negotiator. and there's a trap in the in the, in there's a trap in the in the, in the withdrawal agreement, the brexit deal. and it's this if we renegotiate on fishing, they have power to renegotiate on our access to energy from the european union. basically we'll turn the lights out if you stop our fish. they got us over a barrel . our fish. they got us over a barrel. barnier i think that a number and i can't see that the labor party are going to talk tougher on brexit. i think they're going to give more and more away. that's just my take. what do you think? >> i think they are more aligned to the idea of getting closer to brussels. what they can't do is sell away sovereignty. i think the fishing rights is such a such a totemic issue going back since the beginning of our membership of the eu back in the 70s, it's always there as an issue.i 70s, it's always there as an issue. i think they won't go away and it's one that can be measured. >> just like stopping the boats. we'll be watching closely. we certainly will. let's make sure we'll keep a beady eye on brussels as ever. chris hope, always a delight to have you in the studio now. soon i'll be telling you why. thousands of applicants to work at the olympics in france have been

rejected by authorities over security concerns. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel

>> i'm patrick christys every weeknight from 9:00, i bring you two hours of unmissable, explosive debate. >> and headline grabbing interviews. >> what impact has that had? >> what impact has that had? >> we got death threats in the bomb threat and so on. >> as time passes , she could >> as time passes, she could have said, stone, you made my argument for me one at a time. >> my guests and i tackle the issues that really matter with a sharp take on every story went everywhere. >> something practical could be done, or i can become something different. >> patrick christys tonight from 9 pm. only on gb news. >> britain's news channel .

>> britain's news channel. >> britain's news channel. >> welcome back. your time is 449. i'm martin daubney on gb news. french authorities have rejected more than 3500 applicants to work at the olympics over terror links and security threats. the country is on high alert as it prepares for the olympic games, where tens of thousands of people, including , thousands of people, including, of course, athletes, trainers, journalists, volunteers , journalists, volunteers, tourists and more will be granted security clearance. now i'm joined now by the security specialist. will geddes will welcome to the show. it seems this event is just been absolutely blighted by concerns 45,000 security officers deployed the idea that people applying to work there or failing basic security checks will is very, very concerning. tell us more. >> well , tell us more. >> well, martin, tell us more. >> well , martin, actually, it's >> well, martin, actually, it's even more concerning than that. there is a large number of those 3500 that you just mentioned

that have been refused. obviously, the credentials to be part of the security contingent. and as you say, the contingent is approximately 30 to 40,000, including police and gendarme . including police and gendarme. these are going to be security guards, security officers that will assist, obviously, in protecting not only the athletes and participants, but also everybody that is going along to see it. but of the 3500, which is almost 10% of those that have been rejected, a good proportion of those have been already on the french terrorism watch list. some have been ultra right or associated to ultra left groups. they've also been involved and associated to islamic extremists. so what we're seeing here is, in addition to two threats that have already been thwarted, two plots that were planned against the olympics that have been thwarted at a time when france is at its very, very highest threat level. we can see that individuals with

mal intent have been intending to try and infiltrate and get in amongst obviously the organisers to potentially, carry out, goodness knows what. >> and will, you're right here it says there are 130 of the highest terror list suspects in the country applied to work at the country applied to work at the olympics. now, will it doesn't take a rocket scientist or sherlock holmes to work out that they might have some, bad intent towards security issues . intent towards security issues. we saw in april the paris saint—germain quarterfinal, the champions league had an islamic state terror threat against that, a huge, huge issue. and as i understand it will. people are simply staying away or spoke to a journalist last week saying paris is emptying locals, leaving the town. they can't sell tickets. hotels are remaining empty and we have the backdrop as well of the political violence. after the local, the national elections, it sounds, will like a country

in chaos. >> yes , i would say so, martin. >> yes, i would say so, martin. and also in addition to that , and also in addition to that, there's still a shortfall in the number of security personnel that they need. there are about 1000 short and we've only got ten days until the games commence on the 26th. now, the element that really concerns me the most, martin, is the opening ceremony, and their opening ceremony, and their opening ceremony is intended to be a flotilla carrying all the athletes down the same as part of that first ceremony. now they have an alternate location to carry out this opening ceremony, which would be in the plaster concorde. personally, i would much rather that latter location than the first one. if i was involved. and i've. i've worked involved. and i've. i've worked in a security and protective capacity across three previous olympic games. i know how chaotic it can be, martin, and how many people are involved now, although as we as you have said, there are 3500 applicants

that have been turned down for security positions. the question has to be posed as to what other checks are being undertaken against other roles within the organisers structure. if you like, and these could be stewards, these could be people involved in catering. there are many, many different ways , and many, many different ways, and the one thing we know about potential terrorists is that they are going to be persistent about finding an avenue to achieve their aim, and they will try and find the path of least resistance. so, you know, there are some serious concerns around these games. >> it's an astonishing situation. thank you for painting a picture for us. let's hope nothing happens. will geddes. thank you very much. security expert, for joining geddes. thank you very much. security expert, forjoining us security expert, for joining us on gb news. now before we end this hour, i've got a quick email on topic of small boats ten, 10,000 now, but 1000 beau biden have arrived since keir starmer became prime minister gavin says this. just seen the small boat pictures all our young men. i'm very sorry, but this just has to stop. i wonder if this government has the

ability to even do that, right? that's all for this hour. but stay with me. please do as i'll be bringing you all the latest updates on missing jay slater after a body was found in one of the last areas he was last located in. we'll also have more on the situation with donald trump in america. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel. now it's time for your weather with annie shuttleworth . that warm feeling shuttleworth. that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb. >> news . >> news. >> news. >> hello. good afternoon. welcome to your latest gb news weather update brought to you 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

gbnews.com. forward slash alerts. >> thank you polly. now we start with the news that a body has been found in the for search jay slater. and spanish police say that all indications are that it is that of the british teenager who went missing in tenerife last month. and i'm joined now by the former head of the lambeth missing persons unit, mike neville . mike, welcome to mike neville. mike, welcome to the show. so four weeks to the day, mike, the news came in that every parent's worst nightmare and it appears, mike neville, that the body was found pretty near to where jay slater initially went missing four weeks ago. >> yes . >> yes. >> yes. >> so firstly, my condolences to the family and why has it taken so long to find him? who knows. i'm sure the police have to come up with some explanation about this, but we know it is very, very difficult terrain. we don't know if he's in a ravine because being a few hundred yards, if he's at the bottom of a ravine or will, we won't know. i suppose one thing for the family

is there is some actual closure here, that he's not missing forever with no cases where people are missing for 12 years and the agony that the family are going through on that, i think the big issue for me here is that the he has been found and that's good. but the police have handled the press very badly. and we saw this with lancashire police, with the nicola bulley case, and what happens is if the police leave a vacuum , they say they're not vacuum, they say they're not searching, but they are searching. then it's filled with conspiracy theories, and we've had all sorts of stuff about drugs and watches and boats going missing. so hopefully we'll get some facts now. and we can see how jay sadly died . can see how jay sadly died. >> you know, mike neville, it's a great point. i spoke to a local journalist, cleo o'flynn, earlier in the show, and she told me that the police operation has been carrying on under a veil of secrecy for the last two weeks. they announced that the search had been paused or even stopped altogether.

apparently, that wasn't the case. they just didn't want the media scrutiny . surely. mike media scrutiny. surely. mike neville, the problem has been that when you don't have that forward facing information to the public, to the press, that vacuum is filled with the tiktok detectives, the armchair sleuth and that mike neville as what's caused so much stress to all the family and friends. >> i absolutely agree. you've got to sort of life on mars 19705 got to sort of life on mars 1970s police approach to the, tv or the journalists don't tell them anything. and the press can be your friend, you know, in the sense that you can use the press to make appeals, get more information, but here what we have was no information given. in fact, the police almost telling lies. you know, we stopped searching when they really are searching. i really don't see what that achieves, no, jay has been found on that. that's the key thing. and i just think it might put to bed a lot of these, theories that come out. but let's wait for the evidence from the. no doubt they'll be searching the scene

now. the body will be moved for formal identification, and then the post—mortem will show how he came to die. and there'll be toxicology tests to see what any , toxicology tests to see what any, alcohol, drugs or anything else in the body which will give us a true picture of what happened. and then we can move forward with that. >> okay. mike neville , thanks >> okay. mike neville, thanks for joining us. former head of forjoining us. former head of the lambeth missing persons unit. always a pleasure to have your expertise on. gb news thank your expertise on. gb news thank you very much. thank you martin. now the assassination attempt on donald trump has prompted fresh concerns over the safety of members of parliament in this country, with commons speaker sir lindsay hoyle having previously said that the issue keeps him awake at night. well, let's discuss this story and more with gb news political editor chris hope, who joins me in the studio. chris, welcome back to the show. an astonishing situation on live television. those images millimetres away from that donald trump saying i

should be dead . this is a should be dead. this is a miracle. and now rapidly, the conversation swings to the safety of our politicians in britain. >> that's right. lord walney, former nana john woodcock, a former nana john woodcock, a former labour mp, now crossbench peen former labour mp, now crossbench peer. he's warned in terms about the threats to mps , candidates the threats to mps, candidates and the like in this country. he said that he thinks that an assassination attempt is more likely in this country. he's written to yvette cooper, the home secretary, warning of a dark underbelly of abuse. he's warned about female labour, often female labour candidates standing in seats where the strong opposition to the party stance on gaza intimidation, he said, was used as a core electoral strategy to either try to get candidates defeated or bully them into submission. now, this is all relevant because of what we saw over the weekend in the states with that attempt to kill donald trump late on saturday, uk time that has focused minds here today we hear from number 10 that the home office is now to talking

candidates mps about their experiences that may lead to some future crackdown or some way of dealing with people putting pressure on candidates. because in our country we have no no history of gun gun use and that's to be applauded. i think . that's to be applauded. i think. but there is a concern about where this goes. and across the board all parties are trying to trying to just take the heat out of political discourse post—election. >> and i'm covering for nigel farage tonight on the seventh or late show. i'll have lord walney on the show to talk about this. that's a great guest. yeah. he. thank you. he's talking about a full review of the environment, an urgent review around whitehall. he said it's a very , whitehall. he said it's a very, very toxic, dangerous environment. and of course it's already happened here. david amess was assassinated . jo cox amess was assassinated. jo cox likewise. and he says the threat is real now. meanwhile nigel farage is flying out to america to be with donald trump at this moment, nigel farage himself was the subject of incredible abuse, nowhere near this level.

>> mercifully, he wrote passionately in today's daily telegraph about why people find it funny when he has a milkshake thrown on him , or someone chucks thrown on him, or someone chucks rubble at him, or bricks or stones or whatever it was. he said, why is that funny? why is it funnier? because of who i am? because of nigel farage being who he is and maybe you don't agree with his politics. that could be anything in that liquid on him. it could be acid as he says there. someone on the bbc said it, joked about it, apparently joked about it. it's not funny if you're nigel farage. he's crucially wherever he flies off to the states ahead of the coronation of donald trump as the republican candidate in this november's us elections. i think him go now i find fascinating . i know he's find fascinating. i know he's going there because he's very close friends with donald trump, but also, you know, if trump wins in november, as it looks likely, according to the polls, you know, there'll be two different in parallel special in relationships in quotes between uk and us , one more special than uk and us, one more special than the other, the one we know about is the is the corporate relationship uk, us in

administration in washington, in london the more interesting one which could be really, really interesting is the personal one between trump and farage. and that's the one i think we'll see him used to affect if trump wins next year. >> you know what's fascinating about that, chris, is that in that piece nigel wrote about all the journalists, all the activists, the celebrities who've been comparing donald trump to hitler to as a fascist, as a nazi , as a trump to hitler to as a fascist, as a nazi, as a kkk trump to hitler to as a fascist, as a nazi , as a kkk sympathiser. as a nazi, as a kkk sympathiser. nigel said that kind of sentiment will wind in the sails of this assassin. david lammy was one of the individuals who was one of the individuals who was using such language about donald trump. he's now the foreign secretary what does that mean? do you think about nigel's individual special relationship with nigel farage? could he be the bridge, as you said earlier, between britain and america, a wobbly rope bridge, i called it, rather than the three lane highway, which is the corporate relationship, i think. >> i think you may find it a better entail going across that bridge. david lammy, of course, said remarks back in 2018 2021

about donald trump, which he does regret. i think he regrets anyway and he would say, look back then everyone on the left was piling in on trump. i do think it showed naivety on the behalf of lammy, someone who might end up being a foreign secretary, to find himself in a position where he's got things which might damage our corporate relationship as a country with our most important ally. he's going to regret that. of course , going to regret that. of course, farage himself has told me for our interview before the election how he helped engineer lammy's team to get closer to trump, to trump's team. so i'm not sure lammy wants to say thank you for that. >> do you think, though that might be a conduit like in olympic? you know, nigel farage is close as donald trump than anybody in the labour party? >> i will say they are looking that right now for a replacement for dame karen pierce, who is the uk ambassador in washington. now, we're told that choice won't be made until the result of the of the election is known in late november. i think , i in late november. i think, i think, i think i'm pretty sure we're going to find we call it now. we're going to have nigel farage having a veto over who

that person is if trump wins. and that could be fascinating , and that could be fascinating, astonishing. and that's an informal veto, but a veto all the same because of the relationship with trump. >> amazing stuff chris. hope thatis >> amazing stuff chris. hope that is food for thought. always a pleasure. thank you very much for joining us in the studio. as forjoining us in the studio. as even forjoining us in the studio. as ever. now moving on. there's still plenty of time to grab your chance to win £30,000 and the great british giveaway as our biggest cash prize of the yean our biggest cash prize of the year, and it's totally tax free. now, what would you do with all of that wonga? well, here's how you could win the lot. >> it's a summer treat to you. your chance to win an incredible £30,000 in tax free cash. our biggest cash prize of the year so far, with an extra £30,000 in your bank account this year, you could take the ultimate financial holiday and send some of those day to day financial stresses. packing £30,000 could get you those nagging home improvements done by that brand new car, or just enable you to kick back and relax for the rest of the year. for another chance to win £30,000 in tax free cash, text cash to 63232. text cost £2

welcome back. it's 521. i'm martin daubney on gb news later this houn daubney on gb news later this hour. i'll speak to the man who was so confident about last night's result. he got a tattoo

that read england euro 2024 winners. you won't want to miss that. winners. you won't want to miss that . will he regret it? but that. will he regret it? but before that, the fate of ursula von der leyen hangs by a thread in the european parliament. she's hoping to be re—elected as european commission president on thursday , but there are thursday, but there are predictions that the european union will be heading for an unprecedented crisis if she fails to get enough backing. well, joining me now from brussels is the journalist jack patrick. jack, welcome to the show. there could be bedlam in brussels. miss von der elianne needs to squeak through. has she got enough votes behind her? it seems to be on a knife edge . seems to be on a knife edge. >> yeah, it really is, martin. >> yeah, it really is, martin. >> hard to tell at the moment. >> hard to tell at the moment. >> she needs 361 votes to get that majority in the 720 seat parliament. >> she has been putting in a lot of effort, having one on one meetings with specific mps, including from her own political group, the european people's

party. and that's because the meps get to vote in a secret ballot. >> they don't have to vote along with their party or their political groups, lie—ins so she's had to do everything she can to secure every vote. >> five years ago, in 2019, she scraped through by just nine votes to take the position , and votes to take the position, and it was a question whether she would be reselected by the eu's leaders. but they did so back in june , and now she's desperately june, and now she's desperately trying to eke out every vote to get to keep her job for the next get to keep herjob for the next five years. >> now, jack , five years ago, in >> now, jack, five years ago, in that vote, that precise vote you mentioned, i voted. i voted against miss von der lie—in, she was on a ticket of one. she was the only person on the ticket that struck me as pretty anti—democratic this time around . anti—democratic this time around. of course, jack, the metrics of the eu parliament have changed. they've changed a lot. and that's not in her favour. there are more eurosceptics now , and are more eurosceptics now, and the people she's going to be relying upon, they might want

even more out of her in terms of deals . deals. >> yeah, that's right. >> yeah, that's right. >> there are more eurosceptics . >> there are more eurosceptics. there are more from the from the further right that have been elected into the european parliament. >> but the centrist majority after the june elections in the european parliament, did actually hold. >> so her centre right group, the socialists, they actually were the two biggest groups still. >> so she's not courting those harder. right factions in the european parliament to get these votes. she's mainly sticking with the liberals. her centre right epp group and the socialists. >> the big question is what does she do with the greens? >> because her flagship policy in the last five years has been the eu's green deal, her epp group chipped away at that so she can't really make promises to the greens that would counter her own political groups, philosophies around this. she's in a really, really sticky situation. most people do think that she will manage to get

through this, that she will be able to get the votes. >> if she doesn't, who knows what what will happen. >> it's never happened before that the president has been voted down. commissioners regularly get voted down. there's a sort of always a sacrificial lamb from each of each of the commissions that that goes through, but never the president if she were voted down. that's the big question . down. that's the big question. what happens? would they choose to try and reappoint her, put her to another vote? would they try and choose another candidate? it all gets very , candidate? it all gets very, very complicated then. >> well, jack, if i know one thing about the european union, they'll make sure they get their person in by hook or by crook. that's what they did last time, and i reckon that's what they'll do this time. jack patrick, all eyes on thursday. thank you very much for joining eyes on thursday. thank you very much forjoining us on the show. much for joining us on the show. always a delight to have your company. now moving on. in the wake of england's sad defeat to spain last night, sir keir starmer has said his government wants to boost grassroots sport, with particular emphasis on children. now, kids across the

country are suffering from a lack of facilities in the ten years to 2020, 223 state schools sold off their playing fields and i'm now joined by grassroots football coach steve varne. steve welcome to. it's not quite there yet. okay. let's just talk quickly about that previous story, ursula von der lie—in. it was an astonishing thing. five years ago, she was voted in and she was the only candidate on a ticket. we could not believe it. the day before, there had been four candidates on the ticket and the brexit party. we abstained. now she's going to be back again. will she get some sweet justice? let's see. all eyes on thursday. let's get back to the previous story now with the grassroots football coach steve varne. steve, welcome to the show . we got you. wonderful the show. we got you. wonderful stuff. so steve, we just the labour party today is talking about a lack of opportunity for kids getting involved in grassroots sport, particularly football. now we're not talking about the big shiny academies. we're talking about your local parks, many of which seem to be

getting sold off for housing ventures. tell us how big a problem is this ? problem is this? >> yeah, it's a really big problem. and it's welcome news for us, i'm part of a grassroots club where we have about 750 boys. girls, all trying to play football and, it is a big problem is getting the venues, for, you know, for , for the for, you know, for, for the football. so, we're trying to accommodate almost 30 different teams to , to find pitches . teams to, to find pitches. >> and what's happening, of course, is that when you get less venues , inevitably the less venues, inevitably the pnces less venues, inevitably the prices sadly have to go up. the cost of everything is going up. and when that happens , it's and when that happens, it's inevitable. what happens next, steve and that is the most disadvantaged kids, the most disadvantaged kids, the most disadvantaged families that find themselves getting priced out. and that's not good for the system . system. >> no it's not. and it's yeah, it's obviously a balancing act of trying to provide facilities for children. but obviously it's

a it's an affordable price. so yeah, we're having to rent venues from private facilities such as other sports clubs, maybe adult sports clubs , also maybe adult sports clubs, also other private venues. but obviously that all comes at a cost. so it is getting difficult. and also what we're doing is we're having to put maybe 2 or 3 different teams through on the same pitch on a given day. so you can imagine, obviously with the great english weather, by the time you've played 2 or 3 games of football on the pitch, it's not the best footballing facility. so steve, you know, you, you know as well as me if you go around spain, there are impeccable facilities in every town. >> perhaps that's why they keep being the european champions. same with cricket and swimming in australia. they had central government, they had an organised strategy, joined up thinking and they produce winners. what do you want to see happening in britain, steve? so

that we can eventually, hopefully win at football ? hopefully win at football? >> yeah, we definitely need more astroturf pitches really to combat the, you know, the wet weather. i mean , it can be at weather. i mean, it can be at times that we can not play any football at grassroots level from october all the way through to sort of almost february, march time , because the weather march time, because the weather is just too poor. and i'm just based at the minute over in spain on holiday, just in a tiny little sort of spanish village, and they have got an amazing 4g, astroturf pitch . so, you know, astroturf pitch. so, you know, they've got it here even in this small village out just outside of murcia. so yeah, we need we need more 4g facilities to allow football to be played every single, every single weekend , single, every single weekend, rather than relying on the grass pitches that we've got at the minute. >> yeah, i know that. port of spain. i know exactly the same routine. they just really, really care about winning. they care about getting kids into the game and they care about that

across a big enough population, across a big enough population, a big enough sample size. you find those stars, you find those winners, you find the bedrock of a team. this takes time. it takes money, it takes thought. do you believe, steve var, that the politicians mean this, or are they just trying to capitalise on football fever the day after the final? >> yeah, i hope so. i hope it's not a political, game. i mean, they're not looking to win votes at the minute because clearly that's been done and dusted. so yeah, let's hope that they put their money where their mouth is and that they do invest in the game. you're right to say that this just won't happen overnight. so they need to start investing in the facilities now, to give you know, the young kids a chance of being the next sort of england stars of the future. so yeah, an investment in the infrastructure is absolutely critical if we want to compete with, you know, as you mentioned, the likes of spain, italy, france, belgium , all italy, france, belgium, all these other countries that seem to have wonderful facilities, and are playing football on a

regular basis. whereas a lot of the time our games get cancelled because of the great british weather. >> yeah. superb stuff steve. thanks for the work you're doing. let's keep hoping we can produce the next generation of stars. steve, via grassroots football coach, thanks for joining us. there's lots more still to come between now 6:00. i'll be filling you in on that security incident concerning the king and queen in the channel islands. plus more royal news with an expert. but first, it's your headlines with polly middlehurst . middlehurst. >> the headlines this hour, a body believed to be that of missing british teenager jay slater, has 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 of a ravine in a remote national park. his possessions and items of clothing are understood to have been found with the body. in a statement, the civil guard

welcome back. your time is 539. i'm

martin daubney on gb news now. the king and queen have had a scare during their trip to jersey. as part of a two day tour of the channel islands. they were pulled away from an engagement over an incident that was later described as a false alarm. and i'm joined now by the great michael cole. michael, welcome to the show. so a bit of a scare broke out in the channel islands. can you tell us more ? islands. can you tell us more? >> well, i'm sure there's a sort of heightened sense of security concern because of events in america which we know about on saturday night . saturday night. >> but what stands out for me is that the coolness of the queen, i think we could use the french term sang froid, cold blood, because we are in the channel islands. she was eating an ice cream at the time, one of her aides said, whispered in her ear that there was a security concern and she was taken away with the king to a nearby hotel, the golden apple, a palme d'or.

and she continued eating her ice cream. so, you know, rather like drake. before the armada, she concentrated on the important things. first, of course , any things. first, of course, any security concern is serious. but the king, of course , has been the king, of course, has been here before. i remember 30 years ago in sydney, a young man with ago in sydney, a young man with a starting pistol fired it twice. and i remember very, very clearly the prince of wales, as he then was, had a bodyguard, a police protection man called inspector colin trimming, and he jumped on this young man who fired these shots or cap guns , fired these shots or cap guns, essentially starting gun. and wrestled him to the ground. the king as prince of wales, as he was at the time, stood on and looked at in bemusement, fiddled with his cufflinks like this, and looked at this scene. but of course, security is the curse of the ages. but there we are in

jersey, one of the least likely places for anything nasty to happen. whatever inspector bergerac may have given the impression to the contrary. of course it's a wonderful place. the channel islands are , the the channel islands are, the king's grandfather, king george vi, were referred to them as our beloved channel islands. and the king today said that they were unique and beautiful, which is, of course, true . and they are of course, true. and they are not members of the united kingdom. they are crown dependencies outside the united kingdom, but they are the oldest crown properties. crown possessions. sir william, the conqueror and 1066 and all that, he was the duke of normandy and he was the duke of normandy and he belonged. he owned the islands. and when he became king of this country, the ownership continued with him. and in the channel islands the king is referred to as the duke of normandy, not as the king. so they're having a good visit. the islands are terribly important to us, there used to be called the honeymoon islands. in fact,

my parents went there on honeymoon in 1937, i can tell you that. and many, many other people did. and of course, a great source of lovely potatoes and tomatoes and cabbages and so on.and and tomatoes and cabbages and so on. and i'm sure when he goes to guernsey tomorrow with his wife, the queen, there'll be a similarly warm reception. the island has suffered a lot in the second world war. for five years they were under german occupation. and, you know, they weren't liberated until the war was over. paris was liberated . was over. paris was liberated. brussels was liberated. berlin was conquered before they were liberated. and the king and queen, queen elizabeth the to become the queen mother. they went to visit on the 7th of june. one of the first things they did at the end of the war. >> well, michael cole, that story started with an ice cream. it ended with some jersey royals , it ended with some jersey royals, but then went into some tomatoes or you missed out. was the jersey gold top. but on a on a more serious point in terms of the royals foreign sojourns, going on to australia later this

year and also to samoa, but not making it as far as new zealand. why is that ? why is that? >> no, not to new zealand or to fiji, which was envisaged. it's the commonwealth heads of government meeting in samoa, chogm and the king is going there as head of the commonwealth, which he's been since 2018. it is as well as an elective office, the queen expressed the view that she wanted, her son, prince charles, to be the head of the commonwealth and, and indeed he is. and he'll be chairing that and making an important speech. and of course, he'll be meeting the new zealand premier and other people from new zealand. but they're not going on there because his doctor's advice is, yes, do a lot , do because his doctor's advice is, yes, do a lot, do as much as you can, but don't do too much . so can, but don't do too much. so after chogrm, we're going to australia , going to canberra and australia, going to canberra and to sydney with important disc, important visits. the queen, who we see there, she doesn't really like or certainly doesn't love long distance travel being

sealed in a cigar tube , sealed in a cigar tube, pressurised cigar tube at 35,000ft. not her. her her cup of bovril. but she will be going with the king. and i'm sure the australians will be very, very pleased to see them, the king, of course, is very familiar with it, having attended school at geelong, geelong grammar school in victoria and many, many years ago, and has made many visits there. i'm not sure how many visits the queen has made, but i'm sure she'll enjoy it. i actually think the australians will really warm to her. they like genuine people and they can tell anybody who isn't. but if theyif tell anybody who isn't. but if they if you're genuine and they like you, they take you to their hearts and they are fantastically hospitable people. and it's a great country as we all know. >> thank you. michael. go. and that's my tea sorted out. jersey royals followed by ice cream michael cole who's never a flake. thanks for joining michael cole who's never a flake. thanks forjoining us on

flake. thanks for joining us on the show . always a delight. now the show. always a delight. now stand by to hear from the football fan who says he has no regrets after getting england euro 2024 winners tattooed massively on his leg. i'm martin daubney on news, britain's news, britain's news channel

viral on social media. it's fair to fair to say millions and millions of people now have had a look at your legs. got to say, you've got a fine pair of pins on you there, my old son. we can see it on our screens. great tattoo, great tattoo. but you jump tattoo, great tattoo. but you jump the gun a bit, didn't you ? jump the gun a bit, didn't you? >> yeah, just a little bit, yeah. >> like i said, no regrets, but. yeah, maybe. >> maybe a bit too premature. >> maybe a bit too premature. >> and that the same can't be said about that photograph. there. you've got your pants on. looks like a black tanga. a classic black tanga brief with a saint george's flag and your sun sunglasses. you're certainly not shy about coming forward. jack wilkinson, let's bring you in. you're the man who left this indelible mark on your buddy's leg. and i found it very, very funny. i saw the line that you've refused to remove it for at least a year. >> yeah. so the, the tattoo itself, when dan first talked about getting it, it was a case of obviously sort of triple checking with him. >> and then the agreement was

that if he was to have it done, it would be on there for a year. >> as a reminder, really, of the success or the failure, which it turned out to be in terms of, your, turned out to be in terms of, your , your standing locally. your, your standing locally. >> you're a, you're a you're both swindon lads. the whole world is talking about this . world is talking about this. dan, how does it feel to be the object of scrutiny about your legs , legs, >> i never expected it to blow up this much, so. but, yeah, it's, >> yeah. i'm. i've been inundated with phone calls and text messages or friends recently . recently. >> are you getting inundated with people that want to sort of , with people that want to sort of, you know, get you to get your legs out to get a selfie with this immortal tattoo, >> i've had no selfie requests yet, but they're gone. >> i haven't really been out in pubuc >> i haven't really been out in public since, so, apart from the school run today, but we'll see next time i go out. >> so you stood at that phase where you're kind of drawing the curtains and waiting for it all to go away. but that phase will

come, i'm sure, where people are going to want to be photographed with you, jack wilkinson. so, how much would dan have to bribe you to get this covered up? and if and if you were going to coverit if and if you were going to cover it up, what would you do with it, >> to be honest, dan's a close friend, so, maybe not cover it up, but maybe give it four years and we'll switch it to an eight. >> if they manage to win, then superb. >> so if you're a parent, great sports. thank you very much for coming on sharing your story. it certainly cheered a lot of people up. i tell you what, the morning after that night before, we all needed a bit of a smile. so thank you gentlemen for doing that for us. dan thomas, the man with a tattoo and the man who did it from rain, barbers and tattoos in swindon, jack wilkinson. thanks, lads, for joining us on the show. they've had a bunch of emails, your essays throughout the show. let's go through a few of those now. the main topic of conversation, of course, is that assassination attempt on donald trump at the weekend. mike says this why, oh why? after getting a warning from the public that it take the police, the secret service and snipers all that time to take out the shooter ?

time to take out the shooter? where were the spotters? there were only 3 or 4 roofs. why were the other roofs not secured by the other roofs not secured by the secret service? there are so many unanswered questions. the secret service? there are so many unanswered questions . john many unanswered questions. john adds this. i'm so glad that donald trump survived the assassination attempt, but he might want to rethink his support for the right to bear arms. well, john, i think that conversation is one that will probably rage and rage, and i don't think that donald trump or his republican supporters will be changing their viewpoint. they'll probably say the right to bear arms to protect themselves has even been heightened by this situation. alan says this no one should resort to violence in any form in an election or at any time. i've got a quick email now on ben habib from the reform party. he was in here earlier on today and a no holds barred interview. helen says this ben habib is so right . ben helen says this ben habib is so right. ben has helen says this ben habib is so right . ben has done amazing work right. ben has done amazing work for them, so far. they need to get together and work something out that works for all of them and keeps the talent. like ben habib on the board table. with the reform party. i love nigel

and i love ben and i hope they can work it out and get back together. right? that's all from me for now. but dewbs& co is up next. but don't forget to join us from 6 am. tomorrow. it's breakfast with eamonn and isabel, followed by britain's newsroom at 930 with andrew and bev, and then tom and emily with good afternoon britain from midday. i'll be back tomorrow at three. in fact, i'm doing 7 to 8 tonight. if you haven't had enough of me, i'm martin daubney and this is gb news. thank you for joining me. now is your forjoining me. now is your weather with annie shuttleworth . weather with annie shuttleworth. >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news . weather on gb news. >> hello. good afternoon. welcome to your latest gb news, weather update brought to you 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 here, however. to the south, this weather front pushing up to the north and east will bring heavy pulses of rain throughout this evening and overnight, so there could be some surface water and potentially some localised flooding by tuesday morning, particularly where the rain remains heavy across central areas of england and wales, where there's a lot of cloud around, it will be a mild night tonight, however, in the far northwest, skies stay a little bit clearer. it will be a slightly brighter and cooler start to tuesday here, but plenty of cloud around for most of us to start tuesday, even across the northern isles. some showers affecting here, but across western areas of scotland it will be dry and bright. however, to the east we'll see some heavy showers breaking out quite early on on tuesday morning. dry for northern ireland and much of northern england or southern scotland. the north—east of england, though, and much of wales still got that weather warning in force first thing tomorrow. so still a risk of some localised flooding if you're travelling first thing on tuesday and then

it's the focus becomes a bit more centred to eastern areas of scotland, around the central belt and some north eastern areas of england . where there areas of england. where there are, there is a risk of some very heavy downpours lasting into tuesday evening from the west, though it is turning a much drier and brighter through the course of tomorrow. temperatures will be a little bit higher across western areas. highs of 2021 degrees still reaching 22 degrees in the south and east as it does brighten up as the day goes on, but still a pretty wet start to come on tuesday. but that high pressure continues to build in through tuesday evening, so clearer skies developing more widely . skies developing more widely. and that means wednesday is looking like a fine day for many of us. there's a risk of the odd shower, but it looks much warmer as we head into wednesday and thursday, with temperatures climbing to 26 degrees. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb

r , abusing, insulting, quite frankly, comparing donald trump to hitler seems to be commonplace now. what role did msn play in this? you tell me. also, new migration stats out today show a popular population increase last year. get this was the largest since 1948. surely everyone can see that this is not sustainable and reform uk doesit not sustainable and reform uk does it need to be more democratic ? it's a limited democratic? it's a limited company. is that a problem ? all company. is that a problem? all of that and lots more . and i've of that and lots more. and i've got a cracking panel to get stuck into it with tonight. but first let's get the 6:00 news headunes first let's get the 6:00 news headlines with a legend that is polly middlehurst.
