government. he's been under increasing pressure since losing a confidence vote last month over concerns about a donation to his leadership campaign, though he insists he's done nothing wrong . nothing wrong. >> i have worked hard , followed >> i have worked hard, followed the rules and done really difficult and demanding jobs for my country in 11 years as a minister, i have never, ever made a decision for personal gain. i have never , ever misused gain. i have never, ever misused or abused my ministerial position , my integrity matters. position, my integrity matters. ihave position, my integrity matters. i have not compromised it in sport, england defender harry maguire has said that gareth southgate produced memories that will last forever in his time as manager. >> he stepped down from his role following sunday's defeat to spain in euro 2024 finals. goalkeeper jordan pickford spain in euro 2024 finals. goalkeeperjordan pickford has also been on social media to thank his former boss for always believing in him. southgate took

over from sam allardyce in 2016 and his predecessor says southgate did everything he could in the job except win trophy. >> i'm not surprised. i think that , i think >> i'm not surprised. i think that, i think i've said before that, i think i've said before that eight years is a is a long, long time as a as an england manager. i think there's only so alf ramsey and walter winterbottom served longer as england manager and gareth and he's left with an outstanding success record. i mean , nobody success record. i mean, nobody can argue with that apart from the fact that we didn't quite cunch the fact that we didn't quite clinch the ultimate final that we possibly could have done, particularly in the euros, but came very, very close twice . came very, very close twice. >> the government has launched a major assessment of the uk's future military as the prime minister warns the world is, he says, more dangerous and more volatile. sir keir starmer is promising to bolster what he's described as britain's hollowed out armed forces , but he's not out armed forces, but he's not offered a timeline for raising defence spending to 2.5% of gdp,

statement, mr southgate said that as a proud englishman it had been the honour of his life to play for england and to manage england, but that it was time for change. well, we can now speak with former england footballer danny mills. danny, welcome to the show. so only a matter of hours ago we were speaking about this precise point and then we said it will no doubt be mr southgate's choice whether he stands down or not. and danny today he's taken that choice. do you think he's done the right thing? >> i think he has, i know gareth well, >> i've spoken to him, via text across this competition, i know his family well, and i think, you know, the criticism that he's had that's been sort of mounted over the last sort of two, three years, some of it personal at times, a lot of it very unjust. i think he decided that enough is enough, no matter what he does, you know, from this point onwards, it probably would not be good enough. we talked about this on yesterday.

>> you know , even if he'd have >> you know, even if he'd have won the euros, it would have been, well, we didn't win it in the right way. >> we didn't play, you know, attractive enough football. so no, i think it's time for him to to, step away, have some time away from football, and spend some much needed and quality time with his family and danny. another conversation we've had before is who'd want the job? is this one of the most poisoned chalices in all of international football? oh, 100% it is. >> you know, we've heard a lot already and from lots of different ex—players, pundits to be the to be as successful as gareth southgate, next england manager. >> he'd be very, very difficult. to be more successful, you have to win the world cup. if not, you will be considered as a failure. simple as that. and to win the next world cup is going to be very, very difficult. i think what people maybe don't always understand is that just because you're a good club manager doesn't mean you're going to be a good international manager. >> there are very, very few that

have been able to make that transition. club managers work day in, day out, five, six, seven days a week, at times several hours a day with their players, you know, going over and over routines, training them every single day as an international manager, you might get two days every 2 or 3 months. so it's a completely different role. >> and obviously, you know, also the media scrutiny that comes with the england job is difficult. we know that. >> we've seen that time and time again that the pressure you are unden again that the pressure you are under, you know, i've always said you generally have obviously now you have the king of england, you have the prime minister and then the england manager are probably the three most famous people, in england it's a very, very difficult job under a lot of scrutiny . under a lot of scrutiny. >> and danny, it's always been a post that's had those kind of targets right from the start. bobby robson now went on to be a almost deified. yet during 1990,

of course, he was absolutely slaughtered by the press . graham slaughtered by the press. graham taylor, the turnip, the wally with the brolly, the list goes on. it seems to be the media has it for in anybody who fancies a p0p it for in anybody who fancies a pop at this job. when we look at the runners and the riders of who might replace gareth southgate, there aren't really any inspirational names leap out, certainly from the english quarter rather than no, they're not, obviously, i think lee carsley has been mentioned as possible interim. you know, obviously coming through the age groups, i'm not quite sure his validity as an irishman, makes him english, although he's coaching under 21 seconds. but he's done very, very well. you know, he would be i would say an opfion know, he would be i would say an option short term. the other opfions option short term. the other options that you look at and we talk about englishmen are , eddie talk about englishmen are, eddie howe, who has very little european experience. i think this was his first campaign in the champions league this year. didn't get out of the group stages , you know, hasn't stages, you know, hasn't

managed, international 11, hasn't played at international level, maybe doesn't quite understand that scrutiny. who knows, he might be an option. graham potter very, very similar. did very, very well at brighton. i think he said before he went to brighton, before he went to chelsea, he'd never been to a champions league game before. i'd had a few months at chelsea . didn't quite work out chelsea. didn't quite work out for him. so these i think would be big gambles, in terms of throwing them in literally to the lions den, and saying to them, go and win us the world cup. if not, you failed . danny, cup. if not, you failed. danny, do you think part of the problem is that the fans don't ever seem to get the manager they want? we want a brian clough. we got ron greenwood. people wanted a cavalier choice and we got gareth southgate, the fa seemed to go for the safe pair of hands. and is that the issue? england fans almost want a cavalier choice, someone who's going to be death or glory and we seem to get quite mundane, boring managers. and is that why they get so much stick? actually. is

the fa selection process part of the fa selection process part of the problem ? it's all who also the problem? it's all who also wants the job? you know you can't just you can't just appoint somebody you know. would p9p appoint somebody you know. would pep be a good international manager? i'm not convinced that he would because he is so intense working, like i said, every single day, to make those players better. you can't do that in 2 or 3 days because of unless you win the world cup, it would be seen as abject failure. you said it's a poisoned chalice, so who wants the job is also another huge part of this, because the expectation, the entitlement is absolutely huge. so that limits your pool of managers instantly as well. you know, fans of course, always want who they want, but that doesn't always necessarily mean that's the best man for the job. i'm pretty sure the spanish weren't over enamoured when they appointed their manager from the, you know, from the under 19 and under 20 ones only probably

nine months ago, there was talk that he was going to get sacked and now they've gone on and won a, a european championship and suddenly, you know, he's almost like the king of spain . so, you like the king of spain. so, you know, it can change very, very quickly. we know that fans will never be happy. but i've said all along this is more this is about the players. the players have to turn up the players have to be better. great great teams are full of great players that play are full of great players that play well, go through every single team. that's one of euros. every single team that's won a world cup. they are great players that have played well and unfortunately our players didn't play well enough. okay, danny mills, thanks for your expert insights as ever. no doubt we'll be talking again very soon when a successor is appointed. danny mills, thanks for joining us. always a forjoining us. always a pleasure. thank you. now in other resignation news, the first minister of wales, vaughan gething, has announced that he is stepping down afterjust four months in the job. the

announcement puts an end to a crisis ridden spell as first minister for vaughan gething, which included losing a vote of no confidence in the senate and creating a massive ferrari for accepting a £200,000 donation from a man who twice been convicted for environmental offences. while reacting to the news, prime minister sir keir starmer described gethin's resignation as the best decision for wales . well, this was for wales. well, this was vaughan gething speaking at at first ministers questions a little earlier today , confirming little earlier today, confirming his decision. i have this morning taken the difficult decision to begin the process of stepping down as the leader of welsh labour and as a result, first minister of wales , having first minister of wales, having been elected as the leader of my party in march this year, i had hoped that over the summer, a penod hoped that over the summer, a period of reflection, rebuilding and renewal could take place under my leadership. >> i recognise now that that is

not possible. it has been an extraordinary honour to do this job, even for a few short months . job, even for a few short months. >> well, another one bites the dust and i can now speak with gb news political correspondent katherine forster, who joins me in the studio. >> 118 days later, that's just over two liz truss's. >> it's quite extraordinary, isn't it? and a reminder that political chaos is not just confined to westminster. we've seen it with the snp and humza yousaf in scotland. we've seen it in northern ireland. with those charges being brought and now wales, welsh labour under mark drakeford, you know, was calm just went on for many, many years. but my goodness, yes, not even four months now. i was at the senate back in march when he became the first black leader of any country in europe. so, you know, he has made history. but i was there again just a few weeks

ago when he lost the vote of no confidence. and to be honest, i think the writing was on the wall even when he became first minister, because despite the united front, that was put on, there were many figures within welsh labour itself who were very unhappy about the fact that he was first minister, particularly over this £200,000 donation, which he had accepted. and just to put that into context, jeremy miles, the other candidate who he pipped at the post very narrowly, had had only about a quarter of that money to spend on his election campaign. so, you know, that was obviously a factor . so questions about a factor. so questions about vaughan gething judgement going back then also to potential conflict of interest. then the sacking of this minister who denies leaking these whatsapp messages that allegedly he deleted covid messages when he was in charge of health during

the pandemic, but he is absolutely defiant that he feels still that he has done nothing wrong. he says i have worked hard and followed the rules, and ihave hard and followed the rules, and i have never made a decision for personal gain. my integrity matters. i have not compromised it . so he feels that he can hold it. so he feels that he can hold his head up, that he's done nothing wrong. but another thing that he also said, he said to those people in wales who look like me, our country can be better. and i think that's interesting. obviously he's black. it's an achievement. what he has done, but he is leaning into that a little bit in a way that perhaps rishi sunak, who also, you know, made made history, didn't. but he feels it very keenly, clearly. and, yeah, let's see what happens next. >> playing the identity politics

card till the bitter end. katherine forster. thank you very much for joining katherine forster. thank you very much forjoining us in the studio. now, there was violence on the streets of dublin yesterday as protesters clashed with police at a site which has been designated to house asylum seekers. reacting to the protests, irish premier simon described the violence as reprehensible and accused the protesters of looking to sow fear and division. well, let's now cross over to dublin and speak with gb news reporter dougie beattie. dougie, welcome to the show . so this dougie beattie. dougie, welcome to the show. so this is a situation we've been covering for many months on gb news the irish people very, very unhappy here in dublin. tell us about this protest. what happened? >> well, we're on a place called kulak . that's where we're at. kulak. that's where we're at. it's on the malahide road north of dublin. of course, north dubun of dublin. of course, north dublin has took the majority of immigrants that have came in. and if you take it that there's about a fifth of ireland's population, are now immigrants, what is actually happened here is that the big paint factory

that was sitting behind me has been now designated for housing. immigrants, believed to be about 1500 young males coming into it. and this area is struggling for infrastructure as we speak. i mean, it has done for quite while. >> there's very few schools here. there's only one play park in the area, etc. and there's a lot of social housing. >> now, these, protests have been going on for about three months, and last night the garda siochana moved in to move these protesters from here. an excavator was set on fire inside these huge concrete walls, silo walls for farms were actually put in place at about 3:00 in the morning. and the garda siochana opened up on what were just local people. i mean, there was pensioners ram with riot shields , pepper spray deployed shields, pepper spray deployed and actually sitting here at this minute in time. martin i mean, i grew up in northern ireland in the height of the troubles, and i've seen the playbook. it's now coming out now the last 20 minutes to garda

siochana helicopter is overhead. there's been various thunder runs of the police force going past here in vans, etc. and this is straight out of the playbook how to disperse a crowd. and almost intimidate them, almost try and force them out of the area before that starts. but i can tell you in the last ten minutes the crowds are swelling here, and from someone that did and was brought up in the height of the troubles in northern ireland, really politicians need to ask the local people here what they want, what is their problem and what they want to see happen with their community. because of course, housing is short in here. they've asked for more housing, were denied it, and now all of a sudden, the very place that they asked for is being put into a place for immigrants. so really this unless politicians get a hold of this , this is going to get far, this, this is going to get far, far worse. >> it dougie beattie thanks that update, we'll be joining you later on in the show. but before we end on this story, amongst those protesters was a 78 year old man who was pepper sprayed

by the police. and this is what he had to say in the aftermath. >> and he moved on from over there when there was notpla. >> it's disgraceful . >> it's disgraceful. >> it's disgraceful. >> disgraceful that you're going back over there . back over there. >> they don't want you getting involved in this. come on. whatever all you have to be here talking to me. >> grandkids. >> grandkids. >> i know what you're thinking of. >> grandchildren, me, grandchildren , 78 years of age. grandchildren, 78 years of age. >> and that guard stuck it into my face and sprayed me all over. standing here peacefully. i'm only thinking of my grandchildren and i hope everybody else is taking it. our children . children. >> that's powerful stuff . and >> that's powerful stuff. and god. a commissioner, drew harris, dismissed claims that the local community were pushed towards the riot and cited misinformation about asylum seekers as a critical factor. well as you've said yourselves already, people knew about the crying paint and that it would be used for accommodation. >> so there was no surreptitious, approach to this. it wasn't covert. everybody knew

what the premises were to be used for. and in terms then of, of actual, contractors arriving on site, that's range between the contractor and ipsis. we also have an involvement in a plan in respect of that, but it's not so much i think, that which is driving the sentiment. part of the sentiment, which is dnven part of the sentiment, which is driven here has been driven by misinformation , disinformation misinformation, disinformation be approximated about these individuals who are seeking shelter in our country. just explain . explain. >> well, we'll have lots more on that story throughout the show. we're back on site all the way through till 6 pm. coming up, we'll be discussing donald trump's choice as his running mate in the us presidential election. j.d. vance, who recently said that the labour party will turn the uk into the world's first islamist nuclear i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's

welcome back. your time. it's 326. i'm martin daubney on gb

news now. donald trump has bounced back on the campaign trail after saturday night's assassination attempt. the bandage former us president was greeted with cheering crowds at the republican national convention in milwaukee last night. and it comes as donald trump picked a controversial vice presidential candidate, j.d. vance was chosen despite him claiming that the uk is an islamist country with nuclear weapons. well, trump certainly knows how to ruffle feathers. let's speak now with gb news reporter charlie peters . reporter charlie peters. charlie, donald trump turned up last night. he didn't speak, but certainly now the world's tongues are wagging with his running mate. tell us more about jd vance jd vance, he's 39 years old, so he's the first millennial on a major party presidential ticket. >> i don't think he's actually claimed that britain is an islamist country with nuclear weapons. i think it's clear that he was joking at the national conservatism conference in a speech he made last week, he was laughing as he made those

remarks. but they will be considered as ill timed and ill considered as ill timed and ill considered for a man already in a senior position as the senator from ohio, but even more so now that he could be one of the most powerful men in the world. if in four months, as the polls predict, he will be in the white house working alongside donald trump. and he's made this appointment after, well, many months of speculation who donald trump would pick to stand alongside him and many commentators in the states on the right side of politics this morning, saying that jd vance is very much the intellectual heir to trumpism. he is the political philosophy of donald trump. but without the usual personal attributes. usually associated with the former president . he with the former president. he has an interesting background. he is commonly referred to as the hillbilly on the house in congress. he has that heritage from ohio and kentucky. he served in the us marine corps for four years, deploying in

iraq before going to state university in ohio, graduating within two years. half a time, it usually takes and then attending yale law school very much not the standard path for someone who leaves school and goes to the marines. so since then, he's taken an interesting step even further in working in finance and in capital markets, working with former big time republican donor peter thiel, who has supported his work throughout. peter thiel might now return to the republican party as a major donor. we've seen elon musk and bill ackman, the billionaires, state their support for donald trump since the attempted assassination on saturday. we could see now thiel follow suit with his one of his proteges standing now alongside donald trump. now what about mr vance's political views? well, on the economy, he is definitely a break with the reagan era republican party that we've seen

in the past. he is pure trumpism in the past. he is pure trumpism in that sense, very much someone who's in favour of protectionism and his personal politics and his personal life in his religion, and he became a catholic in 2019, part of the move considered quite popular, andifs move considered quite popular, and it's becoming quite common among so—called post—liberal conservatives in the united states. those that are more to the left on economics and more socially conservative on wider societal issues. jd vance is certainly an interesting pick, and we'll see how that fleshes out in the coming weeks. >> and as you said, he's a working class bloke from the rust belt. he's straight talking on get the politics out of the pubuc on get the politics out of the public service, immigration, build the wall, climate, drill, baby drill tech. he wants to kick porn out of schools. he wants to get rid of woke in schools. he's sir keir starmer worst nightmare. that will be a very , very interesting

very, very interesting conversation. if and when , conversation. if and when, president trump is voted back in, his new vp will give the labour party. i'm sure sleepless nights. charlie peters. always a pleasure, an excellent summary, no less than i expect. thank you very much for joining no less than i expect. thank you very much forjoining us as well. still to come between now and 4:00 and we'll be getting the latest reaction to that huge news from earlier today that england manager gareth southgate has resigned from his role. just who could replace him? who on earth would want the job? is it a poisoned chalice? should gareth southgate have even been hired in the first place? but first, it's your latest news headunes first, it's your latest news headlines with sam francis. >> 333 331 in fact, and the top story from the gb newsroom, jay slater's mother says the confirmation of her son's death in tenerife is the worst news she could have received in a statement, debbie duncan said she can't believe what's happened to her beautiful boy,

welcome back. it's 337. i'm martin daubney. this is gb news. debbie duncan, the mother of jay slater, says the confirmation of her son's death in tenerife is the worst news. and that her heart is broken. this follows findings from the british teenager's post—mortem in tenerife, confirming that injuries on jay slater's body were compatible with a fall from a cliff. well let's cross now to our reporter sophie reaper, who is in jay slater's hometown. sophie, welcome to the show . sophie, welcome to the show. well, it was four weeks to the day until that body was found, and now, tragically, the worst news possible for the family has been confirmed that that body is jay slater . jay slater. >> it absolutely is the worst news. i think the family could have ever, ever expected. but after that news yesterday that human remains had been found

close to where jay slater's last known location was, it was perhaps the news that we thought would come out in the coming days. and in the past hour or so, perhaps two hours now, we have had confirmation that those remains are jay slater. it was autopsy fingerprinting on the body that determined that it was jay slater . they also a court jay slater. they also a court spokesperson confirmed that documents found by the by the remains also belonged to the missing 19 year old. now, you read that part of that statement from jay's mother, debbie duncan, out there . she's been duncan, out there. she's been out in tenerife now for the past month, desperately trying to find any lead of her missing son. she, as you say, says she's heartbroken. she said i just can't believe this could happen to my beautiful boy. i think that incredulity, of course, this was jay's first holiday away from his family. he went out there with friends to enjoy a music festival. i don't think his mother or any of his loved

ones would have ever expected that this would be the outcome. we've also heard from one of his closest friends this morning, lucy law. she was the last person to ever hear from jay. he rang her around half past eight on monday, the 17th of june, to tell her he was going to attempt that walk back to their accommodation. that we now know would have taken him around 11 hours. of course we now know he never made that journey, she posted lucy on instagram this morning to say honestly lost for words . always the happiest and words. always the happiest and most smiley person in the room. he was one of a kind, jay and you'll be missed more than you know. i'm sure you'll have your dancing shoes polished and ready waiting for us all. we all love you, buddy. fly high, incredibly emotive words there from one of his closest friends as we receive the news that most devastating of news today, that the remains that were found yesterday in tenerife in that masca region of tenerife are

those of missing 19 year old jay slater, now here at the west end methodist church in oswaldtwistle, jay slater's hometown. this evening there will be a service held between 7 and 8:00 that was originally supposed to be as a symbol of strength and a symbol of support in the local community, and what the church described as a devastating time. i think that will now become more of a commemoration, more of an opportunity for the community to come together and express their grief as they come to terms with the fact that a 19 year old boy who once lived here in this quiet lancashire village, will not be coming home. >> okay, thanks for that update sophie reaper live from jay slater's hometown. thank you . slater's hometown. thank you. the king and queen are on the second day of their tour of the channel islands, but their visit to jersey was cut short yesterday due to a security alert. our royal correspondent cameron walker has the story. reporter the moments the queen was hastily ushered to safety

welcome back. it's 348. i'm martin daubney on gb news now.

britain's armed forces must be modernised to face down a deadly quartette of enemy countries. well, that's to according the new head of the government's strategic defence review, lord robertson, who made the comments as the prime minister. sir keir starmer, announced the launch of labour's strategic defence review, which he promised will tackle international threats head on. well, i'm now joined by gb news homeland security editor mark white, who can tell us well more mark, just what they need. another review, another huge document to help them through this. when every expert i've spoken to said actually they just want some action. >> well, indeed, without a doubt it's more upheaval for the. second, successive defence reviews. what they have effectively been is a vehicle for hollowing out the armed forces even more, and the trouble, of course, with defence reviews is that they're often out of date before they're even

finished. and remember the last defence review spoke about a big chunk of the threat really coming from terrorism. and rogue actors and the need to have forces that were agile that could, raid and land on beaches or, perform aerial attacks. and at the big land based invasions that we remember from the cold war were really for a bygone era. but what do we have now? we have a war raging right in the heart of europe. that is very much of that particular era of hard , attritional warfare with hard, attritional warfare with many thousands of personnel on the ground with their tanks and their artillery and, yes, of course, the advent of the likes of drones that bring the modern tech to the battlefield. but what ukraine, i think absolutely shows is you cannot get away

from the need for a very significant conventional army as well , to be there and well well, to be there and well equipped and well armed and isn't part of the problem. >> mark, with every single policy issue that the labour party will be faced with is there were £2.7 trillion in national debt. we have the smallest army since the napoleonic times. we have the smallest raf since it was formed at the end of world war one. so few sailors were scrapping ships. it's all very well to say we need to spend 2.5% of gdp on spending. when the economy allows, but the big question is mark white will the economy ever allow that any time soon? >> well, i think all of those points are well made, and that's why i think labour and the new prime minister is being pretty opaquein prime minister is being pretty opaque in terms of setting a date for when the government would ever reach 2.5% of gdp for their spending on defence. i mean, it has to be said, you

know, the converse to that is that, you know, the uk is still a big military spender. it is the biggest spender on defence in europe. apart from russia. it's the second biggest contributor in terms of defence spending in nato. but what it absolutely needs to do and get a control of is this issue of a procurement, which has been a basket case for decades now, with long lead items just taking far too long to come to fruition. and by the time they do hit the battlefield, they go on to the front line. these pieces of high tech equipment are either obsolete or in need of upgrades, so the whole procurement process needs to be looked at again . and maybe looked at again. and maybe that's one thing. the strategic

defence review can look at, rather than actually , you know, rather than actually, you know, what armed forces are needed for here, where, you know, let the generals decide that, in conjunction with the politicians of the day on a case by case basis, but get the procurement right, don't have billions of pounds wasted on projects that take many, many years to come to fruition. >> another huge challenge for the new labour government. thank you. mark white always excellent as ever. now you've been getting in touch in your droves, so far via your surveys and the topic that's really got you going has to be sad. is the protests in dubun to be sad. is the protests in dublin dougie beattie our reporter will be there after the top of the next hour. astonishing scenes there. the police were pepper spraying locals who are objecting to a former paint factory being repurposed to house asylum seekers with nobody there being given any say on the matter . given any say on the matter. last night, a confrontation the crowds now are massing, it seems there's going to be more unrest

as the day goes on, isabel says this good on the irish. we brits don't have the backbone to stand up to mass immigration, and wendy echoes that sentiment . she wendy echoes that sentiment. she says well done dublin, at least you are standing up to this outrage. i just wish that we in england would do the same. but no, they are meekly welcomed by idiots holding their placards saying refugees welcome, these people make my stomach turn and half of them don't even live in these communities. half of them don't even live in these communities . they're bused these communities. they're bused in from outside. these are ordinary working class people having their say, and yet they are smeared as far right or racist. they are nothing of the sort. they simply care about their country. and we've got some astonishing footage to show you of a 78 year old man who was pepper sprayed by the police. he went on to say, i was just doing this for my granddaughter. we'll add that in the next hour. that's all for this hour. we'll be back shortly. with all the reaction also to england manager gareth southgate finally

resigning from the role, was that the right thing to do? will anybody want the job? it's the most poisoned chalice in all of football or should he actually have had that job in the first place? i'm martin daubney on gb news. britain's news channel, but before that it's your weather and it's annie sutcliffe. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . 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, it will continue to turn much brighter and warmer across western areas, but heavy rain is still continuing across eastern areas. there is a weather warning in force through this evening across eastern areas of scotland and parts of northeastern england. that's because low pressure is too not far away here. it's still very unsettled. some heavy showers to come through this evening that will unger through this evening that will linger into the first part of the night, but behind it it will

turn much drier and clear across the whole of the uk, in fact. so a clearer night to come and a dry night. for most of us that does mean temperatures will fall away a little bit lower than they have done lately, but i think for most of us will be at around 12 or 13 degrees to start the day on wednesday, and it's going to be a bright start to the day. the best of the sunshine probably first thing. it will turn a bit cloudier as we head towards lunchtime. so first thing across the south coast it's looking dry and bright . temperatures around 15 bright. temperatures around 15 or 14 degrees across southern areas . really we could be down areas. really we could be down into single figures, particularly as we head further north into parts of northern england and eastern areas of scotland, where a bit more sheltered from the cloud moving in from the west. a risk of the odd shower affecting the northern isles as well. first thing, but as i said, for most of us it's going to be a dry, bright and a warmer feeling day quite widely across the uk. now there is a weather front out to there is a weather front out to the west and that will bring cloudier skies at times to parts of northern ireland and western scotland, potentially some

drizzly rain. but for most of us, away from the odd risk of a shower, it's going to be a dry day. and, as i said, feeling warmer. temperatures up to around 24 degrees in the south—east but widely into the low 20s across parts of england and wales into the high teens, possibly low 20s across scotland, as well . so a fine end scotland, as well. so a fine end to the day to come on wednesday as well. for most of us, this weather front is just going to push up to the north and west, continuing to bring cloudier skies and the risk of some showers to north western areas, but plenty of sunshine to come , but plenty of sunshine to come, least until friday with highs of 30 degrees. that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers . inside from boxt boilers. sponsors of weather on gb

here for you. >> vaughan gething has told the welsh parliament today that serving as first minister has been the honour of his life, as he announced he's stepping down after just four months in the job. earlier, members of his cabinet quit, saying they didn't think he could deliver a stable government. he's been under increasing pressure since losing a confidence vote last month as well, over concerns about a donation to his leadership campaign, but he insists he's done nothing wrong. >> i have worked hard, followed the rules and done really difficult and demanding jobs for my country . in difficult and demanding jobs for my country. in 11 years as a minister, i have never , ever minister, i have never, ever made a decision for personal gain. i have never, ever misused or abused my ministerial position, my integrity matters. ihave position, my integrity matters. i have not compromised . i have not compromised. >> and another resignation as

well. england defender harry maguire paying tribute to gareth southgate, who's resigned, saying he produced memories that will last forever in his time as manager. southgate stepped down from his role following sunday's defeat to spain in the euro 2024 final, and goalkeeper jordan . final, and goalkeeperjordan. pickford has also been on social media to thank his former boss for always believing in him. southgate's predecessor sam allardyce says he's done everything he could in the job except win a trophy . except win a trophy. >> i'm not surprised. i think that, i think i've said before that, i think i've said before that eight years is a is a long, long time as a as an england manager. i think there's only sir alf ramsey and walter winterbottom served longer as england manager and gareth and he's left with an outstanding success record. i mean, nobody can argue with that apart from the fact that we didn't quite cunch the fact that we didn't quite clinch the ultimate final, that we possibly could have done, particularly in the euros. but came very, very close twice now. >> the government's launched a

major assessment of the uk's future military as the prime minister warns, the world is more dangerous and more volatile. sir keir starmer is promising to bolster what he's described as britain's hollowed out armed forces , but he's not out armed forces, but he's not offered a timeline for raising defence spending to 2.5% of uk gdp. that comes as the new defence review chief, lord robertson, said the uk faces urgent threats from the deadly quartette of china, iran , russia quartette of china, iran, russia and north korea, who are increasingly acting together. the government's promising to deliver its findings by the middle of next year. >> the world is changing fast. the threats are growing in those circumstances, it's right. we take a look at the threats, the capabilities we need, the state of our armed forces, as well as the money that's available to fund those. and that's the way that we balance. if you like, the requirements for stronger national security with the responsibilities for sound pubuc responsibilities for sound

england, but that it was time for change and for a new chapter. well, gb news has been out and aboutin well, gb news has been out and about in loughborough asking who you would like to see as the next england gaffer. let's take a listen. >> i think it should be lee carsley personally. >> i mean he's got great history, good record with the 20 ones and the 18 or whoever else he's done. >> it with. similar to the spanish manager, he worked his way up through the ranks, so i think we went with him. he plays good progressive football. i think that'd be who he'd do it for. me why? >> well, we need a winner. >> well, we need a winner. >> that is it. we've we've had a luck of the draw to actually had all these teams. slovakia, slovenia, teams we've got to beat, but we've just not got over the line. >> we need a winner. >> we need a winner. >> someone like mourinho, if you could get klopp on board, these are the type of elite managers that england need. >> harry kane to take over his football manager, a player and a manager like lineker did. >> why do you think harry kane, what is it about him? >> top man really needs of a team. good player, good scorer .

team. good player, good scorer. >> think of a good adviser of a team . team. >> just when you thought you've heard it all. harry kane should be the next gaffer according to that lady there in loughborough. let's get the thoughts now of the sports journalist ben jacobs. ben, welcome to the show. as a sense of inevitability about this ban, i think we all kind of felt that gareth time was up. the big question is now , is this one of question is now, is this one of the biggest poisoned chalices in all of football? who'd even want the job? >> well, i think there'll be plenty that want the job, especially some perhaps of the engush especially some perhaps of the english born candidates managing your country. >> you're never going to turn that down. and there's a world cup on the horizon. the first expanded world cup in 2026. and let's not forget as well that although southgate's been there for quite some time, a lot of the england squad at euro 2024 are quite young. playing at their first or second major tournament. the likes, for example, of cole palmer, who only came off the bench but made a huge impact. so there's a real core to work with, but we

clearly need a different manager, maybe more attack minded. and this wasn't so much the fa saying gareth southgate's booted because england lost in the final. it was more a collaborative decision and i think southgate realised that the time was right to step down. so we're looking at eddie howe, mauricio pochettino graham potter, the under 21 boss, lee carsley, even wolves gary o'neill might be in the frame as well. so there's several top candidates and i think that the fa won't be short of suitors , fa won't be short of suitors, even though, as you say, managing england has one expectation go out there and win a major trophy. >> do you think, ben jacobs, that the fans ever get their man? i mean, i'm of a certain vintage. we all want a brian clough to be the manager. we got ron greenwood, we want attacking minded managers . we want that minded managers. we want that verve. we want that vim. we want something different. but the fa always seem to choose somebody who's more acquainted with spreadsheets than that, kind of that kind of attacking style. is

that kind of attacking style. is that the problem ? will we just that the problem? will we just end up with another continuity candidate ? candidate? >> not necessarily. >> not necessarily. >> but you're right in what you say that the fa, unlike in a club job, have got plenty of time to succession plan. so some of these names have been there long before any decision was made on gareth southgate. graham potter, for example, was in the frame when he was at brighton and there was full investment in southgate at that time . so southgate at that time. so because of the gaps you've got a lot of planning time and that means it's not just about the manager. it is as you say, about the fa and their strategic goals, but the good news is eddie howe, mauricio pochettino, both very attack minded. lee carsley's work with a lot of these players at youth level, so he would be the continuity choice. but perhaps the biggest risk of the lot. and then the other key question is are they going to go for an englishman or a foreign candidate? and my understanding is that it won't count against pochettino just because he's not an english man. so there's going to be a vast array of candidates and quite a lengthy process now, i would

imagine. but clearly the fa have to look at euro 2024 and work out whether or not the problem was only southgate, or whether it is a bigger picture issue, and therefore they might need to change the philosophy to make sure, as you say, that england attack and england live up to their billing at many tournaments and hopefully at 2026 as the pre—tournament favourites. >> yeah, and ben jacobs, i think a lot of fans, especially the working class fans on the terraces, will be hoping that whoever gets this job, they keep the politics out of football. less of that nonsense and let's focus on sticking it in the back of the net. ben jacobs, always a pleasure to have you on the show. thank you very much. now, there was violence on the streets of dublin yesterday as protesters clashed with police at a site which has been designated to house asylum seekers following the protests. irish premier simon harris described the violence as reprehensible and accused the protesters of looking to sow fear and division. well amongst those protesters was a 78 year

old man who was pepper sprayed by cops and this is what he had to say in the immediate afterm ath. aftermath. >> and they moved him from over there when there was rhiannon with the news. >> it's disgraceful. >> it's disgraceful. >> disgraceful . >> disgraceful. >> disgraceful. >> are you going back over there? i don't want you getting involved in this. come on. whatever. all you have to be here talking to me. grandkids. i know what you're thinking of. taking the grandchildren. me grandchildren. 78 years of age. and that guard stuck it into my face and sprayed me all over. standing here peacefully. i'm only thinking of my grandchildren, and i hope everybody else is taking it. our children. >> caught in the crossfire. let's now cross over to that site outside dublin and speak with gb news reporter dougie beattie dougie. a substantial crowd seems to be amassing behind you at that site. a story that you and i have been covering since the very, very beginning. people sticking up for their local communities, getting caught in protest,

getting caught in protest, getting pepper sprayed by police, getting chastised by the police, getting chastised by the police and politicians . dougie, police and politicians. dougie, tell us more . tell us more. >> well, you're quite correct. we've been covering this for a couple of years now, martin. and of course it is becoming worse because the local population don't believe they're being listened to. they believe that their politicians are not listening to them. and they believe that really , the police believe that really, the police are being used when politicians don't want to talk about the problem. and here in north dublin, i mean, i'm standing in coolock now and it's just between two very well—off areas. and this was an old industrial site. in fact, i'll just try and pan the camera around a little bit for you. and you can see there the old paint factory behind. now, locals did want this for for housing themselves and or a play park or whatever, and or a play park or whatever, and told no, can't be used for housing. and then they find out that 1500 migrants are going in there , mostly young men, it may there, mostly young men, it may be said. and there is nothing in this area. there's very few play

parks, etc. for the people that are here. and of course the locals are now out protesting. and actually one of them joins me now. carolyn, if you you just want to step in here, just step in a wee bit further. that's it. we're flying. caroline, tell us, what do you want? >> well, we want the borders closed. if this is an emergency, we need the borders closed. and the people who are here that came here unvetted that put their passports in the bin on their passports in the bin on the plane or in dublin airport. we don't know their criminal background. we don't know anything about them. what they've been up to before they arrived here, what they're running from and he running from court cases. are he running from prisons? we need the people that are here vetted and anyone who are here vetted and anyone who are criminals, we need them deported immediately. this is chaos. the borders need to close. it's not. it's unsustainable. just just. just flooding and flooding and flooding and flooding and flooding these areas. they're not flooding the upper class areas. they're flooding these communities that all our

children are not safe. the women are not safe. even the men are afraid to go out because of the unvetted people that are walking among us. we don't know who they are. we don't know what what they're here for. >> well, there you go. i mean, that's the type of fears in this community. and i mean, tonight as we speak, more and more crowds are coming in and actually they've handed us all pepper spray masks because of what happened last night. and i think the biggest insult for the community last night was actually three of the councillors that were here went up to the police lines and negotiated, and they two were pepper sprayed over the last houn pepper sprayed over the last hour. so we've seen the garda siochana helicopter overhead. there's been various thunder runs of the guards going through here and vans and vehicles. and instead of actually trying to calm that situation, what it is actually doing is drawing youths in, to the protest here. and it's those that i feel the sorriest for. i grew up in northern ireland. i know what happens next. those youths get involved in situations that they shouldn't be in and perhaps

could ruin their lives with criminal records, etc. really, it is time now, for martin, politicians in ireland to come out to these areas and actually talk to the people . talk to the people. >> dougie beattie live in coolock. absolutely excellent reporting. thank you very much. and we're back to you again in the next hour for an update on that situation, which is developing. i'm also joined now by the irish talk show host and broadcaster niall boylan. niall welcome to the show. you may well have overheard our previous report there. a large crowd is amassing astonishing scenes yesterday elected councillors, pensioners being pepper sprayed by the police, going in mob handed those people on the ground there. now they just absolutely feel that the police, the garda, the politicians, nobody is listening to them . nobody is listening to them. >> i know the area extremely well. i was actually born just around the corner from that particular area and these areas are disadvantaged. let's be clear about disadvantaged communities . these are young communities. these are young individuals who probably don't see the police from one end of the year to the other. they

should be out on the beat on a regular basis. community officers talking to those young people, keeping them out of trouble. so the first interaction they have with the police is in a situation like this, nobody condones the violence or the burning of vehicles or the burning of mattresses and everything. yesterday, when they saw these going in. but you cannot blame people getting frustrated when they feel the government aren't listening. and it's a bit disingenuous of our government, including helen mcentee , simon including helen mcentee, simon harris and our minister for integration, roderic o'gorman, to condemn these communities for their actions when indeed the root of the problem actually comes down to immigration. a chaotic immigration system whereby instead of deciding how we remove people from the country who shouldn't actually be here, we're trying to find somewhere to put them so they can sleep and put their head down at night. and nobody wants to deny somebody a bed to put their head down at night rather than have them in tents up at the canal where they are, most of them at the moment. but i mean, this is chaotic. you cannot just start placing hundreds of people into small communities that have been forgotten about for the last 30 years and expect the people just to put up with it. i mean, i spoke to nigel farage on my own

podcast very recently, and nigel said to me, he said if the irish government think they have it bad, they ain't seen nothing yet. and that is the truth because the numbers are rising. roderic o'gorman talked about 27,000 this year, possibly 30,000 on average. every year. because we've signed up to the eu migration pact, the only advantage we'll have on that is we will be able to check fingerprints to eurodac. but there's nothing in the eu migration pact that we can't do right now. i spoke to people, i ran for the european elections just like yourself, martin, many years ago, and i nearly got a seat. by the way, i came in fourth or fifth out of fourth, but i kept a lot of those politicians out. why? because i went to the doors and i listened to people . the number one issue to people. the number one issue for everybody i spoke to in these working class areas was immigration. immigration immigration. immigration immigration. the government need to settle the root of the problem and not be dealing with the symptom. and that's what we've seen yesterday. violence was the symptom of the problem. over 18 months. we've had more protests in this country than we've probably had in the last 30 years. and another part of that problem, if i could just say very quickly, is drew harris. he is the chief of

police . he was, of course, the police. he was, of course, the deputy chief of police in northern ireland. he's brought a new style of policing to ireland that we're not familiar with heavy handedness. absolutely. you saw the 78 year old man who was pepper sprayed, local councillors who tried to de—escalate a bad situation last night. pepper sprayed by an garda siochana. that's not the type of policing we're used to seeing here in ireland. that's reminiscent of northern ireland back in the 70s and 80s. we've even borrowed water cannons from northern ireland. they haven't been used yet and i'm waiting for that to happen very shortly. but what are these people supposed to do? they have nothing to lose at this stage, and some of them feel like if i break the law, i break the law. what have i got to lose? some of them, without a doubt, are just couriers looking for trouble. but a lot are concerned citizens , but a lot are concerned citizens, moms, dads, granddads. and they fear that if you move 7 or 800 people or a thousand people into my area, what sort of people are they? who are they? what difference are they going to make in the community? we've already got a problem with a lack of services, so this needs to be dealt with by the irish government, not ignored and stop villainizing people in small communities. >> niall boylan, an impassioned

monologue. superb stuff. thank you very much for joining us monologue. superb stuff. thank you very much forjoining us on you very much for joining us on gb news thank you very much for speaking out for your local community and of course, we'll make sure we come back to you throughout the week as the situation develops. now, the garda commissioner, drew harris, dismissed claims that the local community were pushed towards the riots and cited misinformation about asylum seekers as a critical factor in this story. >> well , as this story. >> well, as you've said yourselves already, people knew about the crime paint and the and that it would be used for accommodation. so there was no surreptitious, approach to this. it wasn't covert. everybody knew what the premises were to be used for. and in terms then of, of actual, contractors arriving on site, that's between the contractor and acas. we also have an involvement in the plan in respect of that, but it's not so much i think, that which is driving the sentiment. part of the sentiment which is driven here has been driven by misinformation , disinformation misinformation, disinformation being propagated about these individuals who are seeking

shelter in our country. just explain now lots more on that story throughout the show. >> but coming up, peterborough could soon be home to britain's first museum of brexit, and we'll find out why all about this soon and why that union jack, sadly in that picture, won't be making it into the museum. it's one that i nicked from strasbourg. more on that story soon. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel

welcome back. it's 425. i'm martin daubney on gb news now. a charity is looking to set up a museum, perhaps in peterborough, setting out the uk's journey towards brexit. now they have been asking for brexit memorabilia. and the idea for the museum is to have three sections, including the making of the british nation state from the invasion by the romans

through to 1950, and then the growth of euroscepticism, and then, of course, the 2016 referendum and the aftermath to our exit at the end of january. in 2020. and they'll also be a part on the special relationship gallery, focusing on us links to the united kingdom and to tell me all about it. i'm delighted to say i'm joined in the studio by the head of the museum of brexit, mr lee rotherham. lee rotherham. what a fantastic brexiteer name for starters. so tell me, where did the name the idea for all this come come from and when are you going to open up right ? up right? >> it came from a conversation i had with some old friends and colleagues who decided that between us, the subject matter that was really important, that at that stage things were already being binned and lost, and we decided that things need to be preserved for future record and for the debate to be, you know, recorded, and it's been a bit of a bit of a project.

>> much, much it's taken much more, much longer and much more effort than than i thought at the time. but we're progressing. we've we've clearly got enough material range of material from across all those various phases and history tracking the making of the nation state from julius caesar to the modern day and the whole history of europeanism and euroscepticism, and the story of brexit. >> now let's get on to that bit. my favourite bit, the story of brexit. you've got a selection of items here which may well be displayed. talk to a couple of them . right. them. right. >> okay. >> okay. >> so first thing to know and this is really important. >> we're there to tell the story of both sides and all the opinions associated with that. >> because that's the way you can understand the arguments, the issues, the concerns and how people's views changed over time . people's views changed over time. >> so for instance, on one side, we have an interview. we have a probably massively forgotten interview here now with jemmy goldsmith, who sold out to the camera there with a big issue back in the day. >> yeah, not too long before he passed away of course.

>> yeah. >> yeah. >> what else have we got? and by by contrast, we have a we have a book here, which is by james ellis, who is a very pro—european, pro—eu, mep, conservative mep, material here from the european commission, one of the contentious cartoon books that it published, which was it reached new audiences, but it was also seen to be by some as propaganda or pr towards children and even stuff from places like estonia. >> this is from the estonian referendum on its accession . so referendum on its accession. so it's not just about the britain and the uk, it's about the wider vision across all the parts of the political spectrum. >> views and opinions on where you was heading and should be heading. >> lee, i just want to talk viewers through something which i would have donated . i stole a i would have donated. i stole a flag from the european parliament in strasbourg. you can see on screen here. this is me nicking the flag. we called that operation liberate jacques. do you know why i was going to steal that? i found out, lee rotherham, that all of the flags

in all of the european parliaments were being put into storage in an underground vault until such a time that the united kingdom decided to rejoin the european union. i wasn't having that. i had a couple of sherbets. i must confess, i took that flag and up in parliament. >> i don't believe that for a parliament. >> and then you can see on the next picture, i took it back home to my house, into my kitchen, i'm holding it up there. that's me in my kitchen with the flat, with the flag beau biden from strasbourg. and i got told off. i got told off. nigel farage said, daubney, you better get that flag back because they threatened to kick me out of the parliament. but i had one last sleep with it, literally. next picture. that's it on my bed. a bit of a kind of, vanity fair brit pop special . vanity fair brit pop special. that's the flag from strasbourg. i slept under it for one night. sadly, i had to return that lee rotherham. but tell us, when do you plan to open? how can people get involved? and if motorpoint, if anybody watching this show has any, any memorabilia, how can they get it to you? right. >> so first things first, if we

can't have the flag, can we at least have those pictures? >> you certainly can. that's fantastic. >> and that's not the only flag scandal i'm aware of. >> but that's for another time, okay, so we've got if you look at if you look online, you'll find the museum of website has, it has a online presence . it's it has a online presence. it's got a twitter account as well. if you have got material to donate, please do contact us. we set up 50 drop off points around the around the country. those have now largely collapsed into two central points in the west midlands and in london. but we still have mechanisms. so if you've got something, get in touch with us via the website museum of brexit, website. and you, you can contact us directly and we'll sort something out. we have a budget, not a huge budget for, you know, we don't want stuff being sent in rolls—royces and the rest of it, but we can cover reasonable expenses in terms of getting stuff to us. but we need to have that conversation first so people aren't sending us old washing machines or whatever that once dned machines or whatever that once dried somebody's shirt. who wants to enter the european parliament? we don't. we've got we've got to have a little bit of , of we've got to have a little bit of, of pruning of, of material. >> and also we don't want, we don't want 10,000 leaflets

saying the same thing. >> of course, just a couple of examples. >> now you've got a flag there. i brought a little flag along as well. so why don't we compare flags? this is the flag that i waved when we voted to leave the european union. that was the days. you remember nigel farage made this flag? oh, yeah. this was mine. you got a flag there? >> yes. >> yes. >> this flag. this one is actually one of those car things you put on the on the on the doon >>i doon >> i don't think there are too many of these made. >> so this is this is i think quite a rarity. it's, it's a, it's a vote leave flag. if there's a, if there's a remain one out there, we'd love to have it. >> beautiful. all right. well let's leave it there. thank you very much for joining let's leave it there. thank you very much forjoining us. that's the head of the museum of brexit, lee rotherham. lee, let's just wave our flags because there's plenty more still to come between now and 5:00. i'll bring you today's two. shock resignations. england football manager gareth southgate and welsh first minister vaughan gething. but first, here's your headlines with polly middlehurst. >> just after 430, the headlines this hour. and jay slater's

mother says the confirmation of her son's death in tenerife is the worst news she could have received. in a statement , debbie received. in a statement, debbie duncan said she can't believe what's happened to her beautiful boy, adding that her heart is broken. the 19 year old, from lancashire disappeared on the spanish island a month ago after attending a music festival. a spanish court says he was identified by his fingerprints dunng identified by his fingerprints during a post—mortem, and the injuries to his body are consistent with a fall which then led to his death . vaughan then led to his death. vaughan gething has told the welsh parliament that serving as first minister has been the honour of his life, as he announced he's stepping down afterjust four months in the job. earlier, four members of his cabinet quit, saying they didn't think he could deliver a stable government for wales . could deliver a stable government for wales. he's could deliver a stable government for wales . he's been government for wales. he's been under increasing pressure since losing a confidence vote last month over concerns about a donation to his leadership campaign, but he insists he's done nothing wrong and england

defender harry maguire says gareth southgate produced memories that will last forever in his time as manager. southgate has resigned as england football manager following the squad's defeat to spain in the euros on sunday. goalkeeper jordan pickford spain in the euros on sunday. goalkeeperjordan pickford has also been on social media today to thank his former for boss always believing in him and king charles and queen camilla have been welcomed by crowds in guernsey on the second day of their trip to the channel islands. it's the first visit by the king since he ascended to the king since he ascended to the throne. meanwhile, in an unusual twist , preparations are unusual twist, preparations are underway to bestow a special royal title on tamsin, an eight year old goat who is to be renamed the royal golden guernsey goat. tamsin will make history as the first livestock animal to receive such an honour. >> for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code , or go to the qr code, or go to gbnews.com. forward slash alerts .

welcome back. it's 437. i'm martin daubney on gb news. donald trump has bounced back on the campaign trail to name his vice presidential nominee. but the former us presidents running mate, jd vance, has come under fire for suggesting that the uk is the first truly islamist country to obtain nuclear weapons after labour won the general election. well, i can now speak with the spokesperson for republicans overseas uk , for republicans overseas uk, jennifer ewing. jennifer, always a pleasure to have you on the show. so tell gb news viewers a

bit about jd vance. many of them won't have heard of him. who's the guy? what what are his policies? where does he come from? and was it a good choice ? from? and was it a good choice? >> sure. so, first of all, jd vance, he's a senator from ohio. >> he, basically kind of came into the spotlight in 2016. he wrote a book called hillbilly elegy before trump was elected president. and when trump was elected president, a lot of people were like, how did this happen ? what's going on? happen? what's going on? >> and the book kind of explained a lot of the forgotten american people, people who either because manufacturing had moved overseas or the fentanyl crisis or other just you know, terrible things that had happened to these forgotten flyover countries. >> the deplorables, as hillary clinton used to call them. so he wrote a book kind of explaining what he is the american dream. he grew up in extreme poverty by

us standards, with a lot of violence, a lot of addiction. in his family. he ended up being raised by his grandmother, who kept him on the straight and narrow. he joined the marines , narrow. he joined the marines, served in iraq, went to yale law school, met his wife, who you're showing right there on that screen . and, was part of screen. and, was part of a venture capital firm. so he's got finance and tech experience and then became the senator for ohio. you can tell i'm a little excited. he is the person i wanted. selfishly, i'm a bit of a populist, so i think he'll be fantastic. it's a confident vote by trump. it shows that he is not being led by, you know, maybe others in the party that would have preferred a moderate or would have preferred him to make a choice for, you know, demographic reasons. that sort of thing. jd vance lines up with a lot of trump policies, probably a little to the right of him, but it's an excellent choice, in my opinion. >> and jennifer, i can tell

you're excited politically. he is pure trump and a lot of politics. maybe might chime even with somebody like nigel farage on governments kick the politics out of the public sector on immigration. build the wall on climate drill baby, drill on on schools , get the woke out of schools, get the woke out of schools, get the woke out of schools and stop young men looking at so much pornography, which seems to be getting them distracted and sapping their energy . he's distracted and sapping their energy. he's not distracted and sapping their energy . he's not afraid to speak energy. he's not afraid to speak his mind, and he's done so already with these comments, clearly made in jest, about the uk being an islamist state. but it's got people this side of the atlantic clutching their pearls on the liberal side of the spectrum. what might this mean if trump is elected and this guy is his vp? how the labour party handle him? >> well, i mean , as you say, it >> well, i mean, as you say, it was clearly made in jest. it was made at natcon in washington dc last week, i believe, week before, similar to the natcon we have here in london and also in

brussels . so it was made in brussels. so it was made in jest. and i'll tell you, it's very interesting, especially since october seventh, my friends, my family back in the us will check in on me and sort of say, hey, is everything okay in london? a lot of the press over there look, makes it look like, the streets of london are full of these sort of pro—hamas protesters and that sort of thing. so i think that's what he was referring to more than actually just labour getting in. although, you know, he said that because it was something timely to say. >> yeah. and it's interesting how jd vance once compared donald trump to adolf hitler, who probably meant that in jest , who probably meant that in jest, too. and this is the kind of guy he is. he's not afraid to speak his mind. he's working class, and that surely is a key attribute, especially in those rust belt areas where donald trump needs to get the votes to win, to win big. and that is why jd vance seems like a great

appointment. he gets the ordinary person. >> that's exactly right . and you >> that's exactly right. and you know, he will probably tell you that those comments that he made back in 2016 were not in jest. he was not a fan of trump. actually, many republicans were not. they thought, this is a reality television, star who uses completely inappropriate unpresidential bombastic words . unpresidential bombastic words. and then jd vance, you know, has since come out since 2019 and said i was wrong. you know, i was looking too much at the personality. i wasn't looking at the policies, and i liked the policies . so he's done a full policies. so he's done a full circle, and i think that's a good thing because, you know, the trump supporters, you know, america first, maga, they don't need to be convinced. the people who need to be convinced are perhaps the people who have only been seeing the former president through a certain mainstream media lens, who have been told over and over again, he's a dictator, he's a fascist . he's

dictator, he's a fascist. he's going to be the end of democracy. so i'm proud of jd vance for taking a second look and admitting that his views in the past were were wrong . and the past were were wrong. and you're right, he does very much relate to a lot of these swing states pennsylvania, ohio, you know, michigan . so, it's an know, michigan. so, it's an important choice . important choice. >> and jennifer, doing a lot of people on this side of the atlantic have been comparing donald trump to adolf hitler for a long time. something tells me that they won't apologise for that they won't apologise for that opinion. it's always a pleasure to have you on the show, jennifer ewing and a spokesperson for republicans overseas uk. always a delight to have you on the show. thank you. thanks. now still plenty of time to grab your chance to win £30,000 in our great british giveaway. it's our biggest cash prize of the year and it's tax free. what would you do with all of that extra dough? well here's how you could win the lot . how you could win the lot. >> £30,000 in tax free cash really could be yours . it's our

ministerial position when announcing his resignation this morning. we'll be looking at his record in just a moment. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's channel

welcome back. it's 448. i'm martin daubney, and this is gb news now. in other resignation news, the first minister of wales, vaughan gething, has announced that he is stepping down after just four months in the top job. the announcement puts an end to a crisis ridden spell as first minister for gething, which included losing a vote of no confidence in the senate and creating a big furore for accepting a £200,000 donation from a man who twice been convicted for environmental offences. now reacting to the news, prime minister sir keir starmer described gethings resignation as the best decision for wales. well, this was

vaughan gething speaking at first ministers questions a little earlier today, confirming his decision . his decision. >> i have this morning taken the difficult decision to begin the process of stepping down as the leader of welsh labour and as a result, first minister of wales , result, first minister of wales, having been elected as the leader of my party in march this yeanl leader of my party in march this year, i had hoped that over the summer, a period of reflection, rebuilding and renewal could take place under my leadership. i recognise now that that is not possible. it has been an extraordinary honour to do this job, even for a few short months . job, even for a few short months. >> well, let's find out now what the political commentator james matthewson makes of this. james, sorry. seems to be the hardest word to say there for vaughan gething a leadership mired in scandal and controversy and yet still seems defiant until the

end. but keir starmer says this is the best choice for wales. >> yeah, that the words of a man who's been told to go on. >> i don't think he's very happy about it. i mean, nobody's ever happy about it. every political career ends with a with a defeat at the end of the day, as they always say. but this is his, decision. supposedly to go. i think there was a huge amount of pressure on him to do so. and i think it's quite refreshing to see again politicians being made to stand down or resigning or taking the decision to resign when something like this has happened. because of course, we've had many, many examples in recent years, especially in the uk government of people just plodding on or, you know, kind of just as if nothing happened when crisis or scandal has engulfed them. and i think it gets in the way of them being able to do their job. >> and james, he lasted 118 days in office. that's a little over two liz truss's. so that's a pair of lettuces, was his contribution. and in that final

speech, again, he mentioned the fact about identity politics. he was virtue signalling until the bitter end. he said to those in wales who look like me, many of whom i know, who know, feel personally bruised and worried by this moment. do you think an obsession with identity politics was a part of the trouble here? after all, wales is 94% white now. he was the first black first minister, but why did he have to make such a big deal of it? surely people care about competence, not colour of skin because it does matter and it matters to people, of colour that they're represented. >> and to see that because you say 94% white and wales, of course it is. impressive to have somebody, a person of colour who represents people and can show that that is possible. so i don't think it's identity politics to see that represented at every level. i mean, that's why you'll even hear people, you know , across the political know, across the political divide saying that rishi sunak's premiership was, you know, a moment for especially british asian people to be represented

and to show that we are a diverse nation of diverse people who can do, who are all capable and all competent to do the job. now, when the competency is then questioned and something like this happens, a scandal like this happens, a scandal like this and he's done the right thing and stood down. but i don't think it's bad to mark the mark. the, the occasion by saying, you know, that that's his his standing achievement is that, you know, at the end of the day, he's represented people like him. >> okay. james matthewson , we'll >> okay. james matthewson, we'll have to leave it there. thank you very much for joining us have to leave it there. thank you very much forjoining us on you very much for joining us on the show. always a delight to have your company. now, loads of you have been getting in touch throughout the show, and the huge topic that's got you going are the protests in dublin, and we'll be back there at the top of the next hour with dougie beattie. a large crowd of locals are gathering just outside dublin. they were pepper sprayed pepper spray by police yesterday, including elected representatives, local councillors and a 78 year old pensioner who said that he was there for his grandchildren. loads of you have been getting in touch, brian says. this the

irish are defending their country and that's precisely what we should be doing here in the mainland . martin adds this the mainland. martin adds this good on the irish for telling their government they don't want these migrants being forced upon them. come on england, let's do them. come on england, let's do the same. phil on social media adds this what a pity we don't treat illegal immigration as robustly as the irish are doing. these are simply people standing up for their country. i find it inspiring. a lot of people are saying thank you to gb news for covering this story. this is a story you won't see on the other news channels. it's simply too uncomfortable, neil again, finally, in respect to the irish and a great show. martin. alec, that's that's your welcome . that's that's your welcome. alec. tony says this. excellent. martin. i feel so sad for ireland. what a beautiful place. beautiful people are rotten government. the police treating them with total disrespect. so we've got plenty more on that story the next hour. be on the ground. speaking to locals and

hopefully speaking to some of those councillors who were pepper sprayed by the police. stay with me and i'll bring you all the latest on that anti—asylum seeker protest in dublin. a large crowd is gathering gb news will be there. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news channel. but before all of that, it's your weather with annie shuttleworth . weather with annie shuttleworth. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers . sponsors of boxt boilers. 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, it will continue to turn much brighter and warmer across western areas, but heavy rain is still continuing across eastern areas. there is a weather warning in force through this evening across eastern areas of scotland and parts of northeastern england. that's because low pressure is not too far away here. it's still very unsettled. some heavy showers to come through this evening that will linger into the first part of the night, but behind it, it

will turn much drier and clearer across the whole of the uk. in fact. so a clearer night to come and a dry night for most of us that does mean temperatures will fall away a little bit lower than they have done lately, but i think for most of us will be at around 12 or 13 degrees to start the day on wednesday, and it's going to be a bright start to the day. the best of the sunshine probably first thing. it will turn a bit cloudier as we head towards lunchtime. so first thing across the south coast it's looking dry and bright. temperatures around 15 or 14 degrees across southern areas . really we could be down areas. really we could be down into single figures , into single figures, particularly as we head further north into parts of northern england and eastern areas of scotland, where a bit more sheltered from the cloud moving in from the west. the risk of the odd shower affecting the northern isles as well. first thing, but as i said, for most of us it's going to be a dry, bright and a warmer feeling day quite widely across the uk. now there is a weather front out to there is a weather front out to the west and that will bring a cloudier skies at times to parts of northern ireland and western scotland , potentially some scotland, potentially some drizzly rain. but for most of us

away from the odd risk of a shower, it's going to be a dry day. and, as i said, feeling warmer. temperatures up to around 24 degrees in the south—east but widely into the low 20s across parts of england and wales, into the high teens, possibly low 20s across scotland as well. so a fine end to the day to come on wednesday as well. for most of us this weather front is just going to push up to the north and west, continuing to bring cloudier skies and the risk of some showers to north western areas, but plenty of sunshine to come at least until friday with highs of 30 degrees. >> it looks like things are heating up boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb. >>a

gain. i have never, ever misused or abused my ministerial position , my integrity matters. position, my integrity matters. ihave position, my integrity matters. i have not compromised it. >> england defender harry maguire says his boss gareth southgate, produced memories that will last forever in his time as manager, southgate has resigned as england manager following the squad's defeat to spain in the euros on sunday. goalkeeper jordan pickford, spain in the euros on sunday. goalkeeperjordan pickford, also on social media today thanking his former boss for always believing in him. southgate's predecessor sam allardyce says he's done everything he could in the job except win a trophy . the job except win a trophy. >> i'm not surprised. i think that, i think i've said before that, i think i've said before that eight years is a is a long, long time as a as an england manager. i think there's only sir alf ramsey and walter winterbottom served longer as england manager and gareth and he's left with an outstanding success record. i mean, nobody can argue with that apart from

the fact that we didn't quite cunch the fact that we didn't quite clinch the ultimate final that we possibly could have done, particularly in the euros. but came very, very close twice the government's launched a major assessment of the uk's future military as the prime minister warns, the world is more dangerous and more volatile. >> sir keir starmer is promising to bolster what he's described as britain's hollowed out, armed forces, but he's not offered a timeline for raising defence spending to 2.5% of uk gdp. that comes as the new defence review chief, lord robinson says the uk faces urgent threats from the deadly quartette of china, iran, russia and north korea, who he says are more frequently acting as one. the government's promising to deliver its findings by the middle of next yeah findings by the middle of next year. defence secretary john healey says it will lay the groundwork for britain's new era in defence. >> the world is changing fast. the threats are growing in those

circumstances, it's right. we take a look at the threats, the capabilities we need, the state of our armed forces as well as the money that's available to fund those. and that's the way that we balance, if you like, the requirements for stronger national security, with the responsibilities for sound pubuc responsibilities for sound public finances. >> john healey, now a woman, has denied assaulting the reform uk leader whilst he was out campaigning in essex ahead of the general election. 25 year old victoria thomas bowen is accused of throwing a milkshake at nigel farage last month. the reform uk leader, who's now the mp for clacton, was was covered in the drink after leaving a rally where he'd been addressing supporters. prosecutors say £30 worth of criminal damage was caused to his jacket. she has been released on unconditional bail now and will reappear for a trial in october. and just lastly, king charles and queen camilla have been welcomed by crowds in guernsey on the second day of their trip to the channel islands . it's the first visit by islands. it's the first visit by the king since he ascended to

accused the protesters of looking to sow fear and division. well amongst those protesters was a 78 year old man who was pepper sprayed by the police and this is what he had to say in the aftermath. >> and he moved on from over there when there was rioting. >> it's disgraceful . >> it's disgraceful. >> it's disgraceful. >> disgraceful. >> disgraceful. >> dare you go on back over there? >> i don't want you getting involved in this. come on. whatever. all you have to be here talking to me. >> grandkids. i know what you're thinking of taking them grandchildren, me grandchildren , grandchildren, me grandchildren, 78 years of age. and that guard stuck it into my face and sprayed me all over standing here peacefully. i'm only thinking of my grandchildren and ihope thinking of my grandchildren and i hope everybody else is thinking of their children . thinking of their children. >> most astonishing stuff. and let's cross now live to dublin and speak with gb news reporter dougie beattie, who is at the site. dougie, a larger crowd is gathering there. we've had hundreds and hundreds of comments from gb news viewers

who are all saying, good luck to the irish. this is precisely what they would like to see happening in the mainland here. dougie beattie what's the latest on the ground? >> well, crowds are swelling here quite a lot actually , and here quite a lot actually, and some of the other areas that have been affected have came to give their support to them also. i mean, this is really simon harris not listening. the taoiseach is not listening to the people on the ground. and this is effectively what happens. and as i've said to you before, i came from northern ireland in the 70s and 80s and witnessed exactly this type of thing happening. politicians couldn't agree. they then sent in the police force. and what really then happens is that real disregard for the police starts in these areas. and what ends up happening at the end of that is recreational rioting. and what really begins from that is young men and women ending up with criminal records, etc, for things that they they were caught up in at the time. and really the lack of political,

engagement here with the communities is at the heart of this. and joining me now is sean. sean is one of the community, workers or activists here. sean, tell us a little bit about what's going on, >> absolute madness at the minute. if i'm honest with you, we were being protesting here for the last three and a half months now and peacefully now. no trouble, no nothing, the police come down at half three, 4:00 in the morning, told the lads they had seconds to remove their goods or their stuff from their goods or their stuff from the tents out there. are there going to be squashed in the place with it? and they upended the place and tried to bring undocumented male migrants into it. and we don't want them here in coolock. they're undocumented. we don't know who they are. they have criminal records, come from different countries, only been released. our prisons. it's absolute madness. what's going on? the government isn't listening to us. nobody's listening to us. it's so strange. i don't i don't know how it's happening all over europe. it's crazy. >> so what's the cure to this? >> so what's the cure to this? >> i think the cure to this is maybe some consultation with the government. get them out. get

them actually speaking to us because they keep on saying they seem to be speaking to us, but nobody has come out here and spoke to any of us. not one person. you heard helen mcentee saying it earlier on. we were engaging with communities. nobodyis engaging with communities. nobody is engaged with us. not one person has come with us. >> well, simon harris said on the run up to the european elections that they would look at a rwanda style deal. >> have they thoughts? it's all for votes. that's all that was. they would look at rwanda style really mad. it's madness. absolute madness. they'll never do it. it's all for votes. that's all they do when it comes up to a campaign. they push on what the people are looking for and then they never back it up. they turn their backs as soon as they get in the door. yeah. >> so how do you think they're going to stop immigration? what is what is what is the answer to it? >> the answer to it is block the ports, block everything, block the port of border, back up. if you have to. ireland has had enough. it's a small little drop in the ocean compared to anywhere else in europe, where a population of about 5 million people and they nearly have to bnng people and they nearly have to bring how many hundred thousands in already. it's absolute madness. it's madness. >> so there you go. you can hear the frustration of the local community here. and of course, this community is very much

disadvantaged in a lot of ways. it's a community. the north of dubun it's a community. the north of dublin has took the majority of the immigrants into them. now places like finglas, also in this area is also socially depnvedin this area is also socially deprived in a lot of ways, and there's over 160 acres have been earmarked for the same process. and that's why you see a lot of people from finglas here. but newtownmountkennedy is a very wealthy area. and of course that's the first place where the garda siochana actually turned on the locals, and actually pepper sprayed them and that kicked it all off, if you like, just about three months ago. so i do fear, martin, that if they don't engage with the local communities and talk to them, this problem is going to get much worse. >> and dougie, tell us about the fact that amongst those pepper spray yesterday included some elected representatives, some local councillors also found themselves on the receiving end of the garda . of the garda. >> well, they did and this is the real sad part about this,

because one of the maliki statesmen who gb news viewers would know very well, along with two other colleagues, are on dubun two other colleagues, are on dublin city council. they tried to calm the situation down and walked up to the guards and said, look , we will talk about said, look, we will talk about this. we will we will get this situation calmed down only to be pepper sprayed themselves, which actually made things far worse at the time. it really kicked off. then and tonight we are seeing the garda siochana helicopter overhead. we are seeing thunder runs by the police out through past the protests , and this is really protests, and this is really almost a sort of intimidation of the protesters that are standing here. this morning. there was many houses raided here, arrests made. and what has actually happened because of that, the youths are turning out here actually massed, towards they will not be lifted in the morning. and that is a very sad thing to see for someone like me who's seen many friends during the troubles of northern ireland, lose their way getting

caught up in such protests. and i honestly, from the bottom of my heart, say, please don't get involved in this. let make sure that the politicians sort this out with the local communities and try and get things back to normal before the worst does happen. >> dougie beattie excellent reporting as ever throughout the day. fabulous stuff and wise words. there no vehicles were set fire to last night. mattresses fires were started. none of us want to see anything like that happening, but the police have to engage. the politicians have to engage in a way that is non—aggressive . now way that is non—aggressive. now the garda commissioner, drew harris , dismissed claims that harris, dismissed claims that the local community were pushed towards the riots and cited misinformation about asylum seekers as a critical factor . seekers as a critical factor. >> well, as you've said yourselves already , people knew yourselves already, people knew about the crime paint and they and that it would be used for accommodation. so there was no surreptitious, approach to this. it wasn't covert. everybody knew what the premises were to be

used for. and in terms then of, of actual, contractors arriving on site, that's range between the contractor and acas. we also have an involvement in a plan in respect of that , but it's not so respect of that, but it's not so much, i think, that which is driving the sentiment. part of the sentiment which is driven here has been driven by misinformation, disinformation being propagated about these individuals who are seeking shelter in our country. just explain . explain. >> well, moving on, following england's two one defeat to spain in the final of euro 2024, gareth southgate has tendered his resignation as the england gaffer, saying it's time for a new chapter. while speculation, of course, is already mounting on the subject of who will replace mr southgate with names including thomas tuchel, graham potter and eddie howe already being touted well, gb news has been out and about in loughborough asking who you would like to see as the next england boss. let's take a listen . listen. >> i think it should be lee carsley. personally, i mean,

he's got great history, good record with the 20 ones and the 18 or wherever else he's done it with. similar to the spanish manager, he worked his way up through the ranks, so i think we went with him. he plays good progressive football. i think that would be who would do it for me. >> well , we need for me. >> well, we need a winner. >> well, we need a winner. >> that is it. we've we've had a luck of the draw to actually had all these teams slovakia, slovenia teams we've got to beat, but we've just not got over the line. we need a winner. >> someone like mourinho, if you could get klopp on board, these are the type of elite managers that england need harry kane to take over as football manager, and a player and a manager like lineker did. why do you think harry kane, what is it about him? >> top man really need of a team. good player, good scorer . team. good player, good scorer. i think a good advisor of a team. >> harry kane for the gaffer. you've thought he'd heard it all. well let's get the thoughts now of the football writer harry harris. harry, that one tickled you as well. well listen mate,

you've got to laugh or you've got to cry. that's all part of being an england fan. there's a certain sense of inevitability about this. harry gareth, gareth southgate was always going to walk. i felt the big, the big question is who want the job? is this the ultimate poison chalice , this the ultimate poison chalice, >> i think, whoever is offered the job would want it, there's no question about that. i think the fia are already making plans and approaching people. if i was the fia, i'd be ringing, jurgen klopp's representatives and seeing if we could get him on board because he wants a rest, >> he's turned down the us job, >> he's turned down the us job, >> so i don't think that's going to happen, i think it's more likely if we ask pochettino and i think he is he's a manager that develops young players, that develops young players, thatis that develops young players, that is a good tactician , not so that is a good tactician, not so great in the transfer market, but that obviously is relevant, not relevant to this job. >> i think you'd be perfect. >> i think you'd be perfect. >> i think you'd be perfect. >> i heard sam allardyce talking about it'd be a disaster to have about it'd be a disaster to have a foreign coach. well you know, he was a disaster as an english

coach. but you know we have a foreign coach called sarina wiegman who's been. >> kyrees gone frozen there. i don't think he can take any more. >> the two potential candidates. >> the two potential candidates. >> sorry i'm back. >> the two potential candidates. >> sorry i'm back . am i back? >> sorry i'm back. am i back? >> sorry i'm back. am i back? >> are you back with us? let me ask the next question. we can all dream about wanting a cavalier attacking you know, aggressively minded manager. the fa always seemed to appoint a bonng fa always seemed to appoint a boring choice. we want a brian clough. we got ron greenwood. a lot of people didn't want gareth southgate in the first place. do you actually think that we'll get what the fans want? the fans seem to be the last people the faa ever listened to. >> well, i think the fans know what they're talking about. you know, you heard one of them saying, we want a winner. and, you know, to acquire a winner, you know, to acquire a winner, you have to pay 15 to £20 million a year, way out of the fa's remit, they pay 2 to £5 million a year so they don't get winners. you know, gareth southgate, we get all the gushing from, everybody because, you know, he's such a nice guy,

such a nice man. >> but you don't want a nice guy in charge. >> you don't want to lift the nation's hopes to get us all the way to a final twice in a row, and then , you know, no, nothing. and then, you know, no, nothing. you know , we want to win or we you know, we want to win or we want that trophy, and sarina wiegman has produced that trophy. >> she's produced, an england team that's reached a final on foreign soil. >> i think it's an insult that we haven't actually, given due credit to that. why isn't sarina one of the candidates? i mean, why not a woman coach for the england team? >> yeah, well, what about the idea of leaving the politics out of football? you know, because one thing that people complain about a lot is gareth southgate became more of an activist at times, an anti—racism activist. black lives matter taking the knee, all of that stuff. harry, do you think it's just time to push all that to one side and actually just put the ball in the bloom in there, just try and win. just be ruthless. >> well, martin, i did tell you they could win it, but unlikely that they would. you've got to

have a winner. mourinho's a winner. klopp's a winner , winner. klopp's a winner, guardiola is a winner, you know, but we're not going to be able to afford those winners. and they want to stay with their clubs at £20 million a year. not being impoverished for the fa, poverty at 5 million a year anyway. look, i think if we ended up with pochettino and gave him a really decent salary and, he's not really a foreign coach anymore, he's coached at chelsea and spurs. i think he'd be well accepted, he has the talent, but i think we'll end up with eddie howe. >> yeah. you know what, harry? i was just in a good mood there until you said that. but look, we can live in hope. but as you know, harry harris, the old saying goes, it's the hope that kills you. thanks for joining saying goes, it's the hope that kills you. thanks forjoining us kills you. thanks for joining us on the show. always a pleasure to have your insight and get lots more of that story. of course, on our website. and thanks to you gb news. com is the fastest growing national news website in the country. it's got all the breaking news and the brilliant analysis may you come to expect from us here

@gbnews coming up, as the pressure piles to on replace rishi sunak as the tory leader, and we're bringing you all the latest with our political ednon latest with our political editor, chris hope. i'm martin daubney on gb news, britain's news

welcome back. your time is 524. i'm martin daubney on gb news now ahead of the king's speech tomorrow. and with a potential tory leadership race brewing in the background, our political editor, christopher hope, joins me now in the studio to discuss what we can expect. chris, welcome to the show. i've missed you so far. yeah. been quite lonely with you. >> always keen to come on. >> always keen to come on. >> but i know you're now here. you are. so we haven't talked about the conservatives in some time. you've been over. over in the place in westminster. what's the place in westminster. what's the mood on the ground? who basically is going to be the next conservative leader? >> you know, ptsd is

post—traumatic stress disorder. they've got post—traumatic sunak disorder over in the past. i'll be having a cup of tea with a very senior tory mp. they're spitting feathers about the way this campaign carried out. they think the why on earth did the former pm rishi sunak call the election when he did? >> what was going on there? >> what was going on there? >> i mean, it's really the angry and furious many of them with rishi sunak. and while politics has moved on, i've been lucky enough to have been to america and back with this new leader. with this new leader, sir keir starmer, the tories are left licking their wounds wondering what on earth happened. we're about to. they're about themselves. go through their own learning process. i'm on about thursday. >> we expect them to announce plans of how they're going to find a replacement for rishi sunak. >> and i expect the following to happen. >> they will go to october and have a final debate in the party conference. >> they want to ensure that members feel they're part of the future of this, and they can back the leader. so they have they'll have a big debate, i think, between the two main candidates at the tory party conference, members will be involved.

>> there was some talk that they shouldn't be involved because they selected, liz truss and bons they selected, liz truss and boris johnson, of course, and the mps selected rishi sunak. >> and look how well he did. and how well that went. so members are going to have a have a say, and we'll have quite a busy, i think august, september as, as as many of five candidates get whittled down james cleverly robert jenrick priti patel , tom robert jenrick priti patel, tom tugendhat, suella braverman are the ones i'm looking at. >> but there might be more. >> but there might be more. >> so four of those five names, there are more towards the political right. tom tugendhat course, more of a centrist. there's always talk about nigel farage and his kind of magnetic pull on the direction of conservatives and of course, keeping one beady eye on the labour party over a thousand illegal immigrants have survived since have arrived. beg your pardon? since the keir starmer was sworn in as prime minister, what's your what's your tea leaves? what's your juju tell you about the direction. where do you think the tories will end up? a lot of people watching this show would like them to go more down towards the, i guess, the traditional right wing

conservative movement and sort of neutralise the farage threat. >> but that cat is out of the bag. >> i mean, the cat himself is wandering around parliament today. >> i'm sitting at my table in portcullis house trying to meet new mps. suddenly farage walks up. >> i thought, why are you what are you doing in here? are you an mp? >> aren't you? because i completely forgot. why? why are you saying he's an mp? >> and so he should be there, yeah. >> farage is walking around looking, looking, not sure what to do next. i think the whole place is slightly getting used to the new feel for the place. >> it is the answer going towards farage or is it going to the centre ground? that is the debate the party's got to have with itself. i don't expect a right winger what they could win it because it goes to the base. but i think the way you win is probably by trying to live with both both groups. >> i wonder if james cleverly robert jenrick those who aren't easily placed on left or right wings could have a chance. >> tom tugendhat certainly is left of centre, or certainly very centrist, and that might be a problem for the base. suella braverman , of course, a darling braverman, of course, a darling of the grassroots. but priti patel, i think , is an patel, i think, is an interesting candidate. >> she obviously did support

bons >> she obviously did support boris johnson and also lent some support to or at least was not overt against, nigel farage. >> so she could do it that way. i think it's very interesting, but the point is, got to got to work out. martin. what's it stand for now? >> that's the huge question. and if the membership gets involved, i mean, i spend way too much time looking at the comments on the telegraph, on gb news, not enough time because more people should do what you're doing. >> you know what they're thinking. >> because the true beating heart of the conservative movement, to me, seems to be going towards that braverman end of the spectrum. the priti patel , of the spectrum. the priti patel, the clever is the trojan horse that might sit well with a broad church conservative party but if that broad church, as nigel farage says, simply has no religion left anymore because it's so split between the liberal side and the conservative side, can that chasm ever be bridged? or simply has the party got to make a big decision and go down the right wing road, though there aren't enough people there to win the election. maggie thatcher wasn't that way latterly, yes, certainly in 87 and maybe 83, but and but not in 79.

>> she went, she went right wing and lost the scale of her majority as she went to the right. i wonder whether the leader has got to be someone who can try and take on, keir starmer in the middle ground and appeal to the right and then neutralise farage. it's quite a difficult place to be. but johnson managed it. david cameron couldn't do it . cameron couldn't do it. >> yeah, but johnson managed it on the back of the brexit referendum. get brexit done. that central ethos that people rallied behind. does that exist anymore? chris obe loads of food for thought . excellent as ever. for thought. excellent as ever. great to have you back in the studio. cheers. now still plenty of time to grab your chance to win £30,000 in the great british giveaway. you can't win james cleverly, it's our biggest cash prize of the year now , what prize of the year now, what would you do with all of that extra wonga? well, here's how you could win the lot. it is coming . £30,000 tax free cash is coming. £30,000 tax free cash is all yours. we're just about to get it in the system. it's worth the wait. so if you get that,

welcome back. it's 539. i'm martin daubney on gb news now. donald trump has bounced back on the campaign trail after saturday night's assassination attempt. the bandage former us president was greeted with cheering crowds at the republican national convention in milwaukee last night. and it comes, of course, as donald trump picked a controversial vice president candidate , jd vance was chosen candidate, jd vance was chosen despite him claiming that the uk is an islamist country with nuclear weapons. since the labour party was elected. well,

i can now speak with the us political analysis and democrat supporter nomiki konst nomiki, thank you for joining supporter nomiki konst nomiki, thank you forjoining us on the thank you for joining us on the show. now a lot of people watching gb news might not know much about jd vance, but he certainly comes from a very interesting background, comes from extreme poverty , served in from extreme poverty, served in the armed forces and a very, very enlightened choice. would you say, for donald trump? >> i mean, it's definitely a choice. while he does come from working class background and he gained fame from his his blockbuster book hillbilly elegy, he went on to be a venture capitalist. he did go to yale law school and he rose up with the elites. he was a cnn contributor and he was oppositional to trump. i think he's an opportunist, frankly. i think, you know, when it favoured him , he called donald favoured him, he called donald trump hitler and was thinking about voting for hillary clinton and was being propped up by the lincoln project, the democratic augned lincoln project, the democratic aligned organisation. but since then, he's taken a turn. he has received over $10 million in

backing from peter thiel. now you have elon musk, who is giving $45 million a month to this campaign. i mean , this is a this campaign. i mean, this is a candidate who is far away from working class as you can imagine. so if donald trump's play imagine. so if donald trump's play was to double down on winning rust belt voters, it's at odds with, you know, the real concern he has, which is he's losing women voters, these this ticket is extremely anti—women, anti—abortion, very conservative, wants to cut social security, wants to cut medicare. jd vance has said that women who are in abusive relationships shouldn't be able to get divorced, shouldn't be able to choose to get divorced. this is a turn back to a different century. i don't really understand what his game was here. donald trump maybe just loyalty . although jd vance just loyalty. although jd vance is not loyal either. so it's a peculiar decision. i think it's very much influenced by the money that is coming in from big tech and, and these conservative entities like the heritage foundation, which is backing project 2025, is it not healthy

to say, okay, this guy disagree with me? >> in the past, this guy consider voting for somebody different in the past. who cares ? different in the past. who cares? he's the best candidate for the job. if donald trump is saying he's trying to unite america. something bush, by the way, which hillary clinton never attempted to do by calling republican voters deplorables. and look where that got them. as for his working class credentials, and he became very successful. isn't that the american dream? >> i don't know if the american dream is selling out the working class, you know, just because he rose to another income bracket doesn't mean that he is still supporting working class people's entire platform, the project 2025 platform. like i said, they want to cut social security. they want to cut medicare. they want to deregulate industries. i mean, this is not anything close to working class. donald trump may have chosen jd vance, but i think he did it for his own reasons. i don't think it's about uniting the country. this is a man who has done nothing to unite the country. jd vance even said he would overturn the election if he were in mike pence's position . but just pence's position. but just a couple of years prior, donald

trump was the enemy to jd vance. i don't think he had some sort of philosophical change. i think he accepted a lot of money from big tech and big tech wants to have a, a, a, a completely different type of conservative than even ronald reagan. i mean , than even ronald reagan. i mean, this is ronald reagan is fairly conservative. i think they're trying to take it up an extra notch, including, you know, not not, allocating foreign aid to ukraine to isolate the united states. that's not in the best interest of the united states. that's not in the best interest, frankly, of these tech, billionaires. it's not in the best interest of stable democracies. it's in the best interest of our foreign adversaries to destabilise and not give aid to countries like ukraine and other countries and conflict zones. >> okay. nomiki, is it not, an idea to look at the trouble in your own camp? you're on the offensive here about jd vance, which, you know, you can't have a go at donald trump. he almost got murdered in full plain sight on saturday. joe biden still making gaffes about donald trump being in the crosshairs that was never said. he put words into

his own mouth. the trouble is, now there's no time. there's no mechanism to replace joe biden . mechanism to replace joe biden. and with donald trump on the ascension with jd vance getting all the oxygen of publicity, it sounds to me like the democrats are concerned . are concerned. >> so i think this is a you know, aside from the conflicts of the past few weeks between both donald trump and joe biden, the crises that have ensued, this is very typical. the republican national convention always gets a couple points, you know, boost. and then the democratic convention gets a couple of points boost. and that's how it rolls out. but really, even after the crisis of the last few weeks, donald trump has not been surging in the polls. in fact, joe biden is bumping back up after the shooting. people were very concerned, frankly, and i think it has united the democrats. whereas the previous week we were talking about replacing joe biden at this point, you know, because we are so close to the election, it's about who can beat donald trump. do we want to put our our, party into total chaos ? probably not. and, you chaos? probably not. and, you know, it seems as if joe biden is staying true. and staying in

the game. and that's his decision, unfortunately, you know, we don't really have a stake in that unless we go to a convention and, and cause dysfunction. but i think right now, it's just too unstable. it's too insecure with the political environment. and i think it's very important to have somebody that we know can beat donald trump. and so far, that's what's showing in the polls. and i'm just going to add one more thing. this is going to be about white working class women. it's going to be about white women, especially in the rust belt. and this ticket is actually a very poor decision for the conservatives. so i'm not really sure what their game is here. i think that you're going to see democrats blasting ads, talking about their abortion records, their stance, their extreme stances on women, and they always decide the elections. and i don't think that it's going to be different this year. >> well, in all those swing states you thought about, the republicans seem to be going ahead. and in the rust belt, where donald trump needs to win. jd vance is very well known and very well supported, as you know. but thanks for joining us. that's the political analyst and democrat supporter, nomiki konst, thanks for joining

democrat supporter, nomiki konst, thanks forjoining us on konst, thanks for joining us on the show. now, coming up, i'll be telling you how britain could possibly be heading towards being a booze free nation. christ, you imagine that? i'm on gb news, britain's news

welcome back 549. the final furlong i'm martin daubney on gb news now. could britain be heading for a booze free future as younger generations increasingly embrace alcohol free lifestyles? the demand for no and low alcohol dnnksis demand for no and low alcohol drinks is soaring. from pubs to supermarkets, the market is adapting to the growing trend. and what could this change in drinking habits mean for the future of social drinking? and of course, our much loved boozers? well, joining me now to discuss this as a man who knows all about that pub landlord, broadcaster, legend , friend of broadcaster, legend, friend of the show, adam brookes. adam, always a pleasure . an always a pleasure. an astonishing, survey out here.

adam 39% of 18 to 24 year olds are now teetotal. what was wrong with them? >> i mean, there's so many reasons why this would happen. >> you know, i think, the rise of the instagram generation, the love island generation, they all want to be body beautiful as well . well. >> but let's not forget the cost. >> the cost of drinking now in our pubs, you know, covid. and energy inflation has meant we've had to put our prices up and people have been hitting the pocket, there's so many reasons why, on the continent, the ways of drinking is a lot different here. and i think we are going more that way, martin. but the good old pubs here for a good few, few more years. yet to be fair, we've got many sort of 30 to 80 odd year olds that , to 80 odd year olds that, frequent my pub, and there's no way they're going to be stopping and drinking alcohol free. but let's remember, i'm teetotal as well. so, i can sort of understand it, but there's plenty of people out there that still like a tipple, mate, the

pubs are safe . pubs are safe. >> glad to hear it. and, adam, these figures say that if these trends continue, because it was only 27% who were teetotal in 2022, at this rate , drinking 2022, at this rate, drinking amongst 1824 year olds would completely die out by 2029. do you think that's going to happen? or is this just people saying something in an opinion poll, but they don't actually mean it? >> no. look, i think there are many and i know many youngsters that don't drink or they only dnnk that don't drink or they only drink like a few times a month. again cost and the way youngsters go out now i remember when i was sort of 16, 17, 18 well, you know, 18 really, but going out, you wanted to go and buy girls drinks to meet them to, to sort of to go out on the pool to, to sort of to go out on the pool. but you don't need to do that anymore. you know, these these youngsters have got the apps. it's a lot cheaper to swipe right or left. whatever they do on these apps, then go and buy a girl or a boy 4 or 5 dnnksin and buy a girl or a boy 4 or 5 drinks in the pub or a bar. so

technology has also sort of added to this , to this trend, added to this, to this trend, but no, i think that i think the great british pub, as long as the governments don't start taxing us more and putting more regulation on us, i think we're going to be all right for a good few more years yet. and hopefully, look, pubs are part of our heritage. they're part of our history. communities must try and save the pubs, you know? and, as i said, there's plenty of 30 to 80 odd year olds that come in my pubs that are definitely not giving up drinking. >> yeah. so i think you're right, though, adam. people are swiping right and they're not spending their money on drinks to meet women. but wait until they get married. trust me, they'll be going to the pub on their own to try and hide. adam brooks, always a delight to have you on the show. fantastic, mate. now, before we go, it's got time for a few of your sides. you've been getting in touch on the number one topic today. has been those protests in ireland. dougie beattie our man on the ground in dublin, has been there and doing some superb reporting. police were pepper spraying locals and even pensioners and elected representatives. and jules says

this it's so sad to see the irish police using violence against their own people, who are rightly concerned about protecting their areas from undocumented and legal migrants. andrew, as this ireland seems to be turning into a police state, icannot be turning into a police state, i cannot believe what i'm seeing, dave adds this whatever happened to migrants being forced to stay in the first safe country? they get to? the trouble is they can choose where they go and more and more are choosing to go to ireland. and in my opinion, that's not fair. now thanks for joining us on the show, today, what we got next is a superb show. that's all from me for now. dewbs& co of course is next 6 to 7 pm. now, 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 it's tom and emily with good afternoon britain from midday . afternoon britain from midday. now don't forget, join us tonight at 7 pm. for the return of nigel farage. he's back in

this studio for his first show since becoming elected as a member of parliament. he'll have lots to say on that. and no doubt the situation with his friend donald trump. now, i'll be back tomorrow at 3 pm. thanks for your company. i'm martin daubney and this is gb news. now it's time for your weather. and here's annie shuttleworth . 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 it will continue to turn much brighter and warmer across western areas, but heavy rain is still continuing across eastern areas. there is a weather warning in force through this evening across eastern areas of scotland and parts of northeastern england . that's northeastern england. that's because low pressure is not too far away here. it's still very unsettled. some heavy showers to come through this evening that will linger into the first part of the night, but behind it it

will turn much drier and clear across the whole of the uk, in fact. so a clearer night to come and a dry night for most of us that does mean temperatures will fall away a little bit lower than they have done lately, but i think for most of us will be at around 12 or 13 degrees to start the day on wednesday, and it's going to be a bright start to the day. the best of the sunshine. probably first thing, it will turn a bit cloudier as we head towards lunchtime, so first thing across the south coast it's looking dry and bright. temperatures around 15 or 14 degrees across southern areas. really, we could be down into single figures, particularly as we head further north into parts of northern england and eastern areas of scotland, where a bit more sheltered from the cloud moving in from the west. the risk of the odd shower affecting the northern isles as well. first thing, but as i said, for most of us it's going to be a dry, bright and a warmer feeling day quite widely across the uk. now there is a weather front out to there is a weather front out to the west and that will bring cloudier skies at times to parts of northern ireland and western scotland, potentially some drizzly rain, but for most of

us, away from the odd risk of a shower, it's going to be a dry day. and, as i said, feeling warmer temperatures up to around 24 degrees in the south—east but widely into the low 20s across parts of england and wales, into the high teens, possibly low 20s across scotland as well. so a fine end to the day to come on wednesday as well. for most of us, this weather front is just going to push up to the north and west, continuing to bring cloudier skies and the risk of some showers to north western areas, but plenty of sunshine to come at least until friday with highs of 30 degrees that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers . feeling inside from boxt boilers. sponsors of weather on gb

then and what should it look like? and speaking of devolution, vaughan gething has finally resigned, right? decision or not. also, labour have talked tough, haven't they, about clamping down on foreign workers, but now it seems that they're going to delay their plans to do so. is this a right decision with some rationale behind it, or is it a sign that they're not going to be as tough on immigration as they promised? also, i'll speak about immigration and process. have you seen what's going on in ireland? we'll take a look at that. your thoughts on it all? also, donald trump's running mate jd vance has joked that the uk will be the world's first islamist nuclear country. i can tell you now that has sparked outrage, but some say never a truer word spoken than in jest . truer word spoken than in jest. your thoughts. and last but not least, if you get elected as a westminster mp, should you have to pledge allegiance to our.

king. all of that and lots
