10:08 am
to establish a motive. well, joining us now is former head of the national counter terrorism security office , chris phillips. security office, chris phillips. chris, thank you so much for joining us this morning, chris. what more can you tell us at this stage? >> well, it's yet another incident or terrorist attack at a festival. >> and we've seen a numberjust in the past few months where, you know, taylor swift was her concert was cancelled because of a terrorism threat there. so. so once again, festivals are being targeted, this is in germany, i think the key point here is that this is a kind of city centre festival, rather than a, than than something being held in a stadium. and of course, that presents all sorts of difficulties for those trying to catch the perpetrator. >> and , and chris, is this, is >> and, and chris, is this, is this unusual for, for this area of germany? is this something that is, is quite unusual or something that's, that's often seen in that area? do you know? >> you know, tatiana, the
10:09 am
trouble with terrorism, it's going to pop up right across europe and it will do for a generation to come. there's no doubt about that. there's individuals within societies within germany , within france, within germany, within france, within germany, within france, within austria, within the uk who see that terrorism is the answer. and i think the, the key point here is, you know, was what were the security teams actually doing their job properly? the fact that this guys got away tends to make me think that that maybe they weren't completely prepared for this kind of incident. but as i say, when something like this happens, it's always very difficult to find one person in a group of 50 60,000. >> chris, it feels like we have not just in the uk but across europe , across the world, europe, across the world, incidents like this week on week , incidents like this week on week, what's going on? are we just heanng what's going on? are we just hearing more about it now? because more attention is focused on it, or has it always been happening because it really feels pretty hopeless at the moment? if i'm going to be frank . moment? if i'm going to be frank. >> yeah, you're right ben, it's, it is a hopeless situation because, attacks like this are
10:10 am
one person, maybe, who's got a kitchen knife, who decides to go out and kill people. it's just a horrendous part of society . i horrendous part of society. i think from a terrorism perspective, we have got a problem right across europe. i don't think it's just in the uk. we focus generally on the uk, but actually, you know, france have had far more terrorist attacks than we have over the last five years. and it's it is a situation that we're going to have to deal with. and i'm not sure what the answer is to these lone attacks, because an individual can pick up a knife and can go and do it. the police and can go and do it. the police and security services are doing and security services are doing a great job catching the groups. you know, the attack in vienna was stopped because there was more than one person and they were communicating and the security services managed to prevent that from happening. but something like this is very, very difficult to stop. >> chris, thank you very much. and of course, we have heard as, as ben mentioned earlier that that bild, the german outlet, was saying that it was an arab man. but we of course don't have any confirmation of that. thank you very much for joining us
10:11 am
today. that was former head of the national counter terrorism security office, chris phillips . security office, chris phillips. >> yeah. we dawn an eye on britain's newsroom yesterday. had to cover poor elsie dot stancombe funeral for one of the little girls killed or murdered at the southport attacks. it's just it's just heart wrenching. i've got a friend who works in counter—terror across the uk and he says they're busting plots like this week in, week out. and unfortunately , sometimes one unfortunately, sometimes one gets through the net and that's what we see in places like germany. >> yes , indeed. well, now to >> yes, indeed. well, now to look through the papers for today, we are joined by esther stanhope and lewis oakley . thank stanhope and lewis oakley. thank you very much for joining us this morning, both. good morning. what have you got up first? >> well, esther, you said your daughter is in germany. >> yeah, i know where is she? she's in hamburg. and i did speak to her late last night, so i think i just texted her to make sure, just to find out if she's getting any news or what. what's what's what's going on in germany. on the ground . but germany. on the ground. but luckily, i just looked at the map. it's quite far. yeah. and
10:12 am
she definitely wasn't at that festival. yeah. so few . festival. yeah. so few. >> lewis. do you find it quite ironic that, of course, we don't know the motive yet. the police say they haven't found the suspects. but do you find it potentially ironic that this has happened at a festival of diversity? it's been called . diversity? it's been called. >> i don't know about ironic. i think it's just scary and sad. as you say, there are the these rise in these kind of attacks. and i think, you know, i was actually watching a few 9/11 documentaries recently and the kind of how the response has changed in the time since that. and how coordinated attacks and how they catch them. but this move to sort of lone wolf just anyone with a knife or a car, it's so hard to catch them. they might not if they haven't told anyone or they're not googling certain things. you might not know that someone is literally about to do that. and so it just begs the question, like, how do you how do we tackle it? because we can't live like this. there's someone that's got children growing up in the world. please, can we get this sorted and stop this kind of thing from happening? but it's so hard to figure out how we would do that. >> esther . yeah, i think it's
10:13 am
>> esther. yeah, i think it's really dangerous as well to say, oh, we're looking for an arab man. so immediately it becomes kind of a possibly racism. it gets people riled up looking for people. so you rememberjean charles de menezes, the guy that was shot about 15 years ago? brazilian chap? yeah. in london. because everyone's so worried like, oh, it's them, it's them. and people start pointing fingers and immediately jumping to conclusions. and that is not good generally for society. >> in terms of a police report, this guy is on the run and he's just killed three people. so we do i mean, i would argue you do need to know what he looks like. >> yeah, but we don't really know really what he looks like, do we. >> well, build i mean, it's the biggest tabloid in germany. they say he is an arab looking man. i mean, if someone's on the run, say someone was on the run in your local area, i don't know where you live, but say someone in shoreditch, in shoreditch say somebody had just stabbed three people. someone's on the run. surely you'd want to know roughly what the guy looks like, or probably just their clothes would do. >> i mean, just a description. come on, i know, but but the thing is, the thing is, it's implying. it's immediately implying. it's immediately implying you know, okay, you
10:14 am
know, arabs, let's all go. let's all go for the arabs. >> it is still a tabloid at the end of the day. >> yeah, it's kind of riles people up. >> you can't put tabloids down like that. look at the good work they've done. >> i'm just saying, i think we have to be a little bit more careful about jumping to conclusions and making it into a sudden, you know, it's racism. you know, let's all get riled up, right? i think it's not helpful. >> well, i would agree with you that we need to know what the person looks like, but i would say arab looking is not descriptive enough . height. descriptive enough. height. anything? beard? no beard. you know, that's just not enough. because that could be so many people. you know what i mean? >> it makes it. it just makes it sound. it's like. it's like already making people angry or it makes people angry. >> well, i'd probably argue i've got two young kids if there was a knife, a killer knifeman on the run in my area, i'd want to know roughly what the guy looks like over. you know that trump's hurting people's feelings by potentially stoking divisions in that immediate no, i totally agree, but arab looking man is not descriptive enough. >> i think it's also important to remember that this sort of
10:15 am
thing was said during the riots, and that was later deemed found out to be wrong. so we have to be really careful, you know, at the same time. but it is terrifying. >> of course it's terrifying. these individual people are going and stabbing people. last yeari going and stabbing people. last year i was in france, in annecy, and there was a stabbing in a nursery playground, and there were loads of flowers when i arrived there. so i seem to be, oh, was that the south of france? >> yeah, south of france. the footage of that was. >> yeah, i was there for three days after no. three afterwards when i saw the flowers and everything, but it was absolutely terrifying. so i don't know. there's something about my family going around europe where all these stabbings are happening. bit of a coincidence. >> no, it is terrifying, isn't it? >> okay, well, shall we move on to. we have either, jermaine jenas, do jermaine jenas yes. what's your thoughts? lewis has he some people argue that he's kind of been made an example of off the back of the huw edwards situation, and maybe in different times he wouldn't have been axed straight away. >> well, it's very interesting isn't it , because >> well, it's very interesting isn't it, because i think this shows the changing of attitudes, because i think once upon a time you would hear something like
10:16 am
this, you'd be like, you know, this, you'd be like, you know, this is terrible. and you know, how could he have done this? and sort of people would jump to a conclusion, whereas i think now the reaction is a little bit more, well, i haven't read the text and i, you know, i don't know if someone's being oversensitive or not. i mean, you know, it seems like the people that have seen the text say, look, he's bang to rights on this, but i think it's interesting to see how many people are saying, look, we're reserving judgement on this. but at the same time, balancing that with there have been abuses of power by people in powerful situations. so actually we do need to take this seriously. it feels like one of those things that people just can't get right. and then also that kind of side discussion that i'm heanng of side discussion that i'm hearing of like, well, a lot of people meet at work. i mean, he's married, so it doesn't really relate to him. but i think a lot of people say, well, where is the line now? are we allowed to send flirty texts to colleagues or not, or is that inappropriate ? inappropriate? >> it's just not worth it. it's just not worth the risk reward, is it? well most people would now say it's not worth the risk. >> but you know, historically, the majority of people have met at work. >> should we take a quick look at jermaine's apology video he did with the sun, which was
10:17 am
published last night? look at this. >> this is completely on me, i am 100% in the wrong and i accept full responsibility for that. accept full responsibility for that . and it's something that that. and it's something that obviously i need to address and look at myself. the family situation is the thing that at first is at the forefront of my mind, that i'm trying to just piece back together . but i've piece back together. but i've also got to be able to kind of look myself in the mirror and understand where i've gone wrong and understand that this is on me. it's not on anybody else. there's nobody else to blame here. >> so that was his apology . >> so that was his apology. that's so awkward. the apology came quite quickly, wouldn't you say? >> yeah, i suppose he was. he was bang to rights, esther. >> yeah. i mean, the trouble with all of this is that that is so engineered. it's like stage managed. apology. did he get an acting coach to go right. okay. pause there. it's all on me. i mean, that is written by a pr person that is not written by him. he doesn't mean that he is probably a bit naughty being flirty maybe sending i don't know pictures. does anyone know?
10:18 am
were there pictures? were there any topless pictures? does anyone know? does anyone know what the content was ? salacious. what the content was? salacious. it was sexy, flirty , salacious, it was sexy, flirty, salacious, whatever it was. banter, flirty , whatever it was. banter, flirty, whatever. okay. which is kind of private, but then if you are the presenter and you've got these, you know, fan clubs saying, oh, you're so good looking or whatever, and then you're going to abuse that because you're, you're loving the attention. do you're loving the attention. do you reckon it's all stage managed and it is all a bit embarrassing and dirty and flirty. and the bbc are not very good at handling this. and i think it's just too , all it's think it's just too, all it's all too don't don't you think it's kind of false ? it's kind of false? >> yeah. yeah. i suppose he had no choice . it is kind of no choice. it is kind of contrived, but i want to know. all of you, tatiana included, is flirty texts. is that cheating ? flirty texts. is that cheating? >> yeah, i think a lot of people would see that as sixteen. >> sexting is sixteen cheating. what do you think, men? >> i think it definitely is. yeah. and i think jermaine is a pretty a pretty silly boy because because he's not done
10:19 am
anything physical with these ladies and yet all he's done is text, which is cheating, but he's thrown everything away for that. his career, he's betrayed his family, his kids. and it just seems like what was the point? just for some text. >> but what i would say is on flirty texts, i think it's definitely cheating if you're instigating, but i think sometimes people might send a bit of a flirty message back to kind of put it to bed rather than making it a how dare you sent me this flirty text so i've definitely received, you know, comments on on my pictures on instagram. and i've, you know, i bet you have . what do you like? bet you have. what do you like? you know which which i guess is slightly flirty back, but at the same time it's like i'm not doing the flirt. i'm just kind of putting this to bed. >> i think there's a fine line between banter and taking it with a sense of humour, and then fully blown sixteen at what point is banter, sixteen and unfaithful? that's a good question, because i think there's a there is a lot of borderline, isn't there? >> and where does he go from here? because, you know, he's effectively he's lost all his jobs, his sponsorships and branding deals, etc. betrayed
10:20 am
his family. >> i think that's the biggest thing we need. >> yeah, he needs to focus on his family first and then i think podcast. yeah i mean, he could write a book , could write a book, >> you know, there's so many things he could do. i think he probably needs to regroup and all this, this thing about, you know, i've got i've got to look at myself. you know, a bit of self—reflection and maybe therapy or whatever. >> does he really think that i would like to point out that just as an example that comes out the top of my head, caroline caroline flack, if you'll remember, the love island presenter, the x factor presenter, the x factor presenter, she took her own life. she she went through something publicly, an argument with her boyfriend, and she took her own life. and so i think, you know, he may be going through i know he's, you know, may have brought this upon himself. perhaps one might say, i don't know. >> he hasn't killed anyone. >> he hasn't killed anyone. >> he's going to be feeling quite, quite stressed. >> and i agree and i think that in the culture we live in now, which is very cancel culture and you've done wrong and that's it.
10:21 am
one of the things that i'm seeing, there be more of a discussion now is a path to retribution, a sort of, you know, you've you've messed up, but actually being able to come back and should one mistake cost you everything and it's just not a realistic way to, to live. if we're going to say, yeah, you make one mistake, your family's gone, your career's gone, and that's it. people should be able to come back. but i think it's about proving that they've learned their lessons. and i think making amends is quite important to that. so, you know, for him, what can he do to make amends for this publicly? >> he needs to take his wife out for dinner, take his kids to disneyland and say, i'm sorry for being a doughnut. that's what he needs to do. i do, i do, although although it's all his making, i do feel sorry for jermaine a little bit because it's, you know, he's been he's been a silly boy. he's paid the price and. yeah. >> and how many other people are doing that? is he just an example of what the other other footballers and presenters that what's everyone else up to. what do you think esther lewis ? do you think esther lewis? >> who knows. thank you. you'll be back with us shortly . be back with us shortly. >> thank you, thank you. >> thank you, thank you. >> right. coming up later in the
10:22 am
show, we'll be joined by kate stewart. the liverpool entrepreneur, to hear about her incredible initiative to help kids to have access to free school uniforms. that's for families who can't afford it. >> yes. very nice initiative, actually. and growing up i'm a twin. so growing up, are you a twin? very, very difficult. are you a twin? yeah, i've got an identical twin sister. so what's her name? jessica. >> jessica. hi, jessica. >> jessica. hi, jessica. >> i've said that. why? she's going to get stalked online. oh, no.she going to get stalked online. oh, no. she won't. >> no she won't. hi, jess. >> no she won't. hi, jess. >> okay, so plenty more on that, but next we'll be taking off as we'll hear why nasa inspired technology will help propel british athletes to gold at the paralympics
10:23 am
10:24 am
10:25 am
>> hello. welcome back. 1026 ben and tatyana with you on saturday morning live. some emails coming in, tatiana, one for you from steven. morning. steven says tatiana is proving to be a very
10:26 am
natural presenter. this is not a flirty text. honest. >> why not? would you consider that flirty? no, i think that's very kind and i welcome it so more , more, more more. more, more, more more. >> paul, you say the jermaine jenas situation will just stop people conversing in the workplace in a friendly way and encourage, cancel culture. and sasha, you say, ben, what's what's wrong with women these days? i'm a woman and if i've got a flirty text, i would have a quiet word with the sender and put them in their place. i wouldn't go running to my bosses, and just one more from sandi. good morning. sandi, you say, would you please do me the honour of announcing our 50th wedding anniversary? we can't believe how time has flown. it seems like yesterday and our love has grown beyond measure. oh, sandi, that's very sweet. sandi buckingham, you haven't said the name of your husband, though. so, mr buckingham, congratulations on your 50th. >> congratulations anniversary. the buckinghams . yes. lovely. the buckinghams. yes. lovely. well, don't don't don't stop sending those lovely messages to us and let us know what you think about all of the topics of today as well. and all of the stories from the papers that
10:27 am
we've been discussing with our panel we've been discussing with our panel. and guests. yes. >> and did you know several paralympic gb track and field athletes ? thank you. i'm trying athletes? thank you. i'm trying just trying to move the autocue. aim to go for gold this summer in paris . aside from pure in paris. aside from pure talent, a british firm has incorporated get this space technology in the materials of running clothes to help athletes perform at their ultimate capacity. i'm not sure if i believed this, but we'll find out in a sec. trailblazing scientists, engineers and designers at british firm ryan labs have taken an idea first used in a nasa project, and they've now developed it for over 15 years at imperial college in london. >> well, joining us now to explain more on that is the head of design at ryan labs, olga kravchenko. and olga, good morning . thank you very much for morning. thank you very much for joining us on saturday morning live. first of all, please can you explain to us a bit more about how and what this incredible technology is ? incredible technology is? >> yeah. well, as you mentioned ,
10:28 am
>> yeah. well, as you mentioned, our founder, doctor donelan, spent many years developing this kind of dynamic materials . that kind of dynamic materials. that means they behave in what's called non—newtonian way. so they don't follow the rules effectively. they can change their behaviour depending on kind of stress or stress. you apply to it. so what you get on an athlete level, if you imagine you have a garment, it's supercharger. it's such that the garment changes its support depending on your movement or your activity, or the speed at which you run, which is quite revolutionary . revolutionary. >> okay, i'm not sure if we've got any pictures of this. have we team? but basically on the if you look at, say for example, sprinters on their legs, they've got these sort of embedded stripes i guess, aren't they . stripes i guess, aren't they. which go all down the thigh. so you're saying that it generates what more, more sort of kinetic energy is that right. >> not quite. it makes you, effectively make more out of your own energy. so we spend years also with the university of wisconsin studying this
10:29 am
phenomenon. if you watch on a video, somebody run and you see their muscles kind of wobble and shake as they hit the ground. so that's effectively your wasted energy that prevents you from making the most out of your own spent energy. and yes, you're right. if you look at sporty athletes with the wavy curves and stripes, you you will see that. so that's effectively that, supermodel polymer. we have in combination with the stripes that are kind of, built around the way your muscles moves. so that's how you get the unique performance. >> it's very interesting. i was reading the website and you said something you said the difference between first and fourth place is a fraction of percent. >> yeah, that's that's the main difference it makes. so even if you manage to kind of make more of your own energy and improve your performance by 1%, that's the difference between podium and non podium . and non podium. >> and olga, what have athletes
10:30 am
said to you. what's their feedback been. are they saying yes this really makes a difference to our times and to our performance . our performance. >> our performance. >> yes, absolutely. and we're actually very excited. obviously we've seen several athletes wear it during the olympics, and we are hoping to see a few more , are hoping to see a few more, because that kits available to them , during the paralympics. them, during the paralympics. but yeah, we constantly gather feedback from both athletes. kind of professional in the olympics, but also, just sports hobbyists and anyone who wants to buy it online. this is, the kit we launched with adidas. so, yeah, we see lots of feedback about the difference and particularly feeling more supported. or your muscles more supported. or your muscles more supported as you run and increase your activity and do you reckon this technology could come to say, the joe public, where tatiana or i, you know, have some stripes running down ourjeans have some stripes running down our jeans or something have some stripes running down ourjeans or something and it our jeans or something and it allows us to get that train a little bit quicker. absolutely. as i said , the kits available on as i said, the kits available on adidas website , and we've
10:31 am
adidas website, and we've launched quite a range with them in training and running. and also there's a sports bra where there's a even more unique benefit to it . benefit to it. >> and i was reading also on the website as well. it said 98% of medals won in the swimming pool at the 2008 olympics, and 23 out of 25 world records broken in the pool at those games were done by athletes wearing something called the lzr racer suit, made by an italian speedo company called mech tex, and it said the materials used in the swimsuit reduced skin friction drag by a quarter, so this can really have a huge effect on these athletes. athletes who train so hard each year, who go and compete and want that gold medal. and as you said, it's the difference between first and fourth place. >> yeah , absolutely. i mean, >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, obviously that that the speedo technology wasn't, done with rio , technology wasn't, done with rio, but, the main key thing that rio doesis but, the main key thing that rio does is deliver sort of that
10:32 am
benefit in the sense that you just make more out of your own spend energy. so it doesn't give you a competitive advantage. you just are able to perform better and at your best when you run with it. >> yeah. okay. i've got fingers crossed for our paralympians, at the games and hopefully your magic stripes do their job and magic stripes do theirjob and we win a good handful of golds. thank you. olga from ryan. ryan thank you. olga from ryan. ryan thank you. olga from ryan. ryan thank you. interesting. it's kind of like putting. when i was a kid, i got my first car. all my mates used to put sort of stripes down the middle. go faster stripes. oh, really? didn't make a difference, of course. coui'se. >> course. >> but, you know, i was wondering as well, is it kind of like, sports back in the day, how the equipment used back then has changed over the years. so i used to play tennis. so tennis racquets , tennis used to be racquets, tennis used to be wooden. did you really have a game sometime? yeah definitely. >> and my boy jude, who's four, he's very good. i'm hoping i've got i've got visions of him, this sounds really bizarre. i've had dreams where i'm in the players box at wimbledon and jude falls to his knees after winning his first wimbledon
10:33 am
title. and i'm in the box even at the old judy murray fist. >> oh yeah, tough sport. but if he's if he's kind of okay with single person sports , i'm quite single person sports, i'm quite competitive. so that's what i liked growing up. i liked it to just be a little bit. yeah. all on me. >> that's what i love about tennis. it's all the top players in the world are pretty much there technically. but it all comes down to your mentality, your psychology. very psychological game. we should definitely have a game. >> we should well, interesting. i thought, you know, back in the day they used to use wooden rackets and now yeah yeah definitely carbon. and of course goalkeepers and football never used to wear gloves. >> so there is a case to be made. i'm i'm just not sure. i'm just a bit cynical about just go faster stripes down your leg. but who knows. right. bit of a gear change next. these are live pictures now of solingen in western germany, the city where police are hunting a knife attacker after three people were killed at a festival of diversity last night. we know around 11 people were injured. police haven't found the attacker yet. they say they're not sure on the motive, but again, we mentioned it at the
10:34 am
top of the show another day , top of the show another day, another deadly knife attack across europe, and it was, of course, at that diversity festival as well, >> and that that attacker is still at large. we'll of course, bnng still at large. we'll of course, bring you all of the latest as we get it. you can see if you're watching us on television, you can see the area in which it happened, the area being cordoned off. and we'll bring you all the latest on that as we get it. but of course, three people are said to have died and several others injured. >> yeah. german chancellor olaf scholz said today that the perpetrator of the attack must be caught quickly and punished to the fullest extent of the law. he said the attack is a terrible event that has shocked me greatly. an attacker has brutally killed several people. i've just spoken to solingen's mayor we mourn the victims and stand by their families. the perpetrator must be caught . of perpetrator must be caught. of course. goes without saying. all right, we'll keep you up to date with that as the story develops. that's live pictures from soungen that's live pictures from solingen in western germany. for now, stick us. us. this is saturday morning live
10:35 am
10:36 am
10:37 am
10:38 am
tick. good morning. welcome back. 1038 you're with ben and tatiana on saturday morning. what are you giggling at? >> what's you're. well nothing. we can't really say. it's all an illusion. everything's perfect on this side. >> i think she's laughing at me because i've got the. this is the autocue scroller, so we use this to move the autocue. >> we don't we don't use an auto. >> no. all natural. yeah. all natural. >> magic of telly. >> magic of telly. >> some emails coming in. phil, you say we need more of tatiana presenting. she's a natural. she's great. >> oh, thank you so much, phil. that's very kind. >> that's not your dad, is it? >> that's not your dad, is it? >> no. no joking. >> no. no joking. >> joking, martin says tatiana looks like she's going into the jungle in her outfit. love it. martin from bournemouth. >> do you mean i'm a celeb? i'm a celeb. >> you must do i do that? >> you must do i do that? >> would you do it if gb news would let me, i'd do it. yeah. would you do it? no, i did, of course, go to australia in december to cover nigel's stint.
10:39 am
>> i'd rather go there to report it. >> to report on it? yeah. loved australia. that as well. anything to go to australia. i want to go to quokka island. where's that? it's in australia. there's an island full of quokkas. >> what's a quokka? well, we'll find out. shall i google it? and tell you. yeah. if you know, at home. gbnews.com/yoursay. right. let's move on to something more serious. over to the us presidential race where overnight, a bombshell development has no doubt sent shockwaves through the democratic campaign , independent democratic campaign, independent candidate and former democrat himself, robert f kennedy jr, who is the nephew of the late jfk, has officially suspended his own campaign to endorse donald trump and the republicans. >> his candidacy has inspired millions and millions of americans , raised critical americans, raised critical issues that have been too long ignored in this country, and brought together people from across the political spectrum in across the political spectrum in a positive campaign grounded in the american values of his father, robert kennedy, a great man, and his uncle , president man, and his uncle, president john f kennedy.
10:40 am
man, and his uncle, president john f kennedy . and i know that john f kennedy. and i know that they are looking down right now, and they are very, very proud of bobby. i'm proud of bobby. you want to know the truth ? want to know the truth? >> and before welcoming rfk jr to the stage last night, donald trump promised, if elected to release all remaining documents relating to the 1963 assassination of president john f kennedy. and to tell us more, we're delighted now to be joined by journalist and author nelson aspen nelson, good to see you again. how will rfk jr's endorsement of trump affect the polling ? polling? >> what a surprise. i'm telling you , this is a you know, you you, this is a you know, you miss a minute, you miss a lot. the shock of the announcement comes right off the heels of the week long festival of joy to welcome kamala harris as the democratic nominee for president. so that was all
10:41 am
instantly eclipsed the moment that robert f kennedy decided to announce in a press conference that he was suspending his campaign and throwing his support behind former president trump. and it is very important, even though kennedy never really had a realistic shot at getting the white house, but it could make the difference in some key swing states. it could make the margin of difference just that much tighter . and maybe, perhaps much tighter. and maybe, perhaps give president trump an edge over vice president harris so that remains to be seen. what was most noteworthy was, of course, the kennedy name is iconic in american politics, and his own family had thrown him under the bus early on to put their support behind joe biden. so they have yet to remark on on this latest development. but kennedy himself, through the democratic party under the bus, he said the whole process had become a sham that kamala was
10:42 am
had become the nominee without the requisite voting process, and that the party that his father and uncle championed is no longer the party it is today. >> yeah, i think everyone can probably agree with that. i mean, the democrat party from back when jfk was president is completely different to what it is today, crucially , kennedys is today, crucially, kennedys rfk jr's family overnight came out with this rather blistering statement saying they don't agree with their brother's affiliation and endorsement of donald trump. and actually, they're backing kamala harris and waltz . and waltz. >> well, they had to say something because the whole family got up there as a unit alongside president biden to offer them their enthusiastic support in spite of their own kennedy family member. so, you know, they were stuck with egg on their face when this all happened. they were one of the earliest, forces behind president biden's re—election campaign and of course, that that didn't happen. and biden
10:43 am
has been has been conspicuously absent throughout all of this, i guess, letting his vice president have her moment to shine. but she has she has been largely silent other than what she's reading off the teleprompter as well. but she reads off the teleprompter extremely well, and she was surrounded by movie stars and music stars and it was a week long festival of excitement, of balloons, of endorsements, or, in the words of oprah winfrey, it was joy. oprah actually sang the word joy and it was very operatic, michelle and barack obama came and spoke, and michelle obama said that she she felt that it was a magical moment. so let's see, the last three and a half years haven't been so magical. but maybe things are about to get, i don't know, all twinkly. >> i don't know if we've got time for one more question, but you mentioned oprah winfrey there, who's actually taken a back seat when it's come to politics and her views on politics and her views on
10:44 am
politics for quite a few years? well since she came out in support of the obamas . so do you support of the obamas. so do you think her support during this campaign in chicago, do you think that will have any effect on on kamala's campaign ? on on kamala's campaign? >> i have to say, even now, after all these years, the oprah effect still holds a lot of power. and maybe you haven't seen oprah lately, but it seems like we see her almost on a daily basis somewhere here in the united states. and of course, he introduced the world, in effect, to barack obama and made him the superstar that he became. and maybe she's hoping to have the same effect on kamala harris. >> nelson, thank you so much for your expertise. we look forward to it. each and every week. and yeah, a couple how long to go a month or two months and a bit until the big election in the us can't wait. >> september and september 10th is the debate that that will be must see tv and kamala won't have also q she won't have the teleprompter to save her. >> thanks, nelson . right. still >> thanks, nelson. right. still to come, we'll be meeting that
10:45 am
liverpool entrepreneur we've been banging on about. her name's kate stewart. she's got a great, campaign or plan to help kids and families who can't afford school uniform to get them on an equal playing field. it's a really inspirational campaign. we'll be back in three minutes.

10:50 am
you've betrayed your family, your kids, you've lost your job, potentially taking over match of the day one day. >> big gig. >> big gig. >> big gig. yeah. >> big gig. yeah. anyway, >> big gig. yeah. anyway, josh howie right. let's move on. so it may be the august bank houday it may be the august bank holiday this weekend, but that means it'll be back to school for many kids in the coming weeks. and my boy jude starts school for the first time in a few weeks. oh. >> what years, ian? >> what years, ian? >> he's going to be. well, first time reception. >> oh. that's lovely. >> oh. that's lovely. >> yeah, i've been trying not to think about it. it gets. it moves me to tears. anyway, kate stewart, who's a liverpool entrepreneur, has just launched her annual school uniform appeal. it's an incredible initiative. she set up a few years ago to ensure those who couldn't afford school uniforms for their kids can now access uniform for free. and we're delighted to be joined by kate . delighted to be joined by kate. now good morning, kate, thanks for joining us. listen, what forjoining us. listen, what a superb scheme. do you mind me asking how it all came around? was there any particular reason you decided to do this and help other families in the way you are ? are? >> so i work and was brought up in a deprived area of liverpool, and i was seeing children going
10:51 am
back to school without new school uniforms. and this to led bullying children, not getting the education that they're supposed to. every child should walk through the doors in september, ready to learn, focused on their learning and education, not thinking about what they're wearing or that their pants have got holes in or they haven't got brand new jumpers on. and i actually broke my heart and i was speaking to families and they were saying, you know, we've got three children, we're low income families. we just cannot afford the school uniforms. and i was like , right, i have to do like, right, i have to do something. i have to help people. and that's where it all began. >> and kate, you posted something on your social media. this incident with the asda skirt. can you tell us a bit about about that somebody was was not allowed to wear a skirt that looked similar to the uniform, but was from asda to help with with the costs. >> but the problem that we have and i have campaigned tirelessly about this, uniforms are put in place so everybody is the same. children are the same as their
10:52 am
peers. no designer wear is allowed , which i agree with. but allowed, which i agree with. but schools are making their uniforms. designer by insisting that their logo must be on the uniform now a uniform from a supermarket can cost £20. a children falls over, children fall over. they get holes in the pants. you can go to asda and buy a new pair of pants for £3. when they've got the logo on, you're looking at £20. so what i'm saying is, and i've been talking to government saying, you know , stop the logos, let's you know, stop the logos, let's go back to basics. a school uniform consists of grey pants, a white shirt, a red green whatever colour cardigan and make it accessible for families. if the schools want the logos on, then give it to the families to iron on or sew on. that's fine, but stop making uniforms. designer with the logos, i mean. >> yeah, sorry. go on, you go , >> yeah, sorry. go on, you go, you go. i was just going to say i mentioned my boys starting school in september. and the
10:53 am
price difference, as you said, is between the, the school made stuff with the logo on and say something from asda. it's just worlds apart. and if luckily my kids school is doesn't mind you know other stuff. but there are so many other schools i've heard of where they enforce getting their logos on it. >> absolutely. and it's just absurd. that's what it is . absurd. that's what it is. everyone the same in school uniforms. 100% agree with the school uniform policy , by the school uniform policy, by the way. i think it's fantastic that children feel the same and i want children to be focused on their education. walking in happy, ready to learn, not worried about uniforms and also the families, the mums and dads are sitting at home thinking to themselves how the heck are we going to afford three uniforms? sorry sorry to interject. >> we're fast running out of time, but where can people learn more about what you're doing? what's the website? >> i would say so go on to my instagram. it's kate stewart life. the it's the links in my bio. and please give what you can.the bio. and please give what you can. the price of a cup of coffee will make a massive difference. >> kate thank you. fantastic initiative. thank you for

longer than working people being stuck in really cold houses, which they then can't afford to heat. which they then can't afford to heat . there is now lots and lots heat. there is now lots and lots of pressure on rachel reeves to reverse that decision, both from the left and the right. you've got the conservatives calling an early day motion that's essentially a parliamentary mechanism to force a debate on the issue in parliament, saying that she needs to scrap it. then you've got people like john mcdonnell, who was labour's shadow chancellor under jeremy corbyn, saying exactly the same thing. plus people like martin lewis, the financial guru, etc, there's going to be a lot of pressure on rachel reeves about this over the next few weeks. i think we might end up in a kind of semi u—turn position where she says that she will scrap it, but perhaps later on, or maybe she'll look at the threshold so fewer pensioners have to have to have this scrapped. but it is a really, really tough issue for the prime minister and not what he wants when he has promised economic growth. >> for a start, is it is it fair to pitch this price cap hike as an attack on pensioners? and
11:10 am
also what could they have done differently? >> it's i mean, it's not really fair to pitch the hike as an attack on pensioners because obviously, you know, these energy companies are at the mercy of the markets. the war in ukraine raised oil and gas pnces ukraine raised oil and gas prices as we know. plus, you just have an enormous demand for gas worldwide. at the moment, everyone is trying to transition away from fossil fuels. and in the sort of interim, the easiest way to do that is to transition onto gas. that just raises the price of energy . the problem is price of energy. the problem is that keir starmer, rather naively a couple of years ago, said that it was the conservatives fault that gas pnces conservatives fault that gas prices were rising. so he built a bit of a rod for his own back there. he said that he would force energy companies to charge less. that is much, much easier said than done. that said, you know, even if keir starmer can't do anything about that or can't do anything about that or can't do very much about the rising gas prices, taking away the winter fuel allowance very much is a political decision and one thatis is a political decision and one that is definitely controversial .
11:11 am
yeah. >> and in this day and age of social media and these clips, you know, these 32nd clips that do the rounds on tiktok and stuff and twitter and whatever else. the clip from 2022, when starmer sits there attacking the tories, saying, i can't believe you're scrapping the winter fuel payments, we're going to freeze energy bills for pensioners and so on and so on. and what happens? they do the complete opposite and unfortunately that's pretty damning as it comes to the labour government as it stands at the moment. but olivia utley, thank you very much. appreciate you being with us, we're joined now again by esther stanhope and lewis oakley. welcome back to you both , oakley. welcome back to you both, ola, ola and yasu. we're continuing this, are we? i can't participate , no, not having it, participate, no, not having it, should we talk about the notting hill carnival? because i think it officially kicks off today with maybe some sort of lighter brass band stuff or whatever they're doing. but tomorrow and monday is the big event. i know tatiana, you're a big fan of the carnival, aren't you? >> yeah, i love it. i think i think it's, it's great for the culture. it's great for three
11:12 am
day event. it's fun. it celebrates the caribbean culture. it brings people together . music, good food, good together. music, good food, good vibes. do you feel safe when you go to it? >> yeah , yeah, i asked that >> yeah, yeah, i asked that because there's an argument now online. esther, i'll start with you. where last year there were , you. where last year there were, i think, ten stabbings the year before. there was seven the year before. there was seven the year before that when it was held in 2019, there was 18. in 2017, it was 12. i think we've got a little graphic of the this is straight from the met police. so ten stabbings, seven stabbings, 18 stabbings, 712 and also the cost of policing the carnival last year was £11 million. so some are arguing, esther, if this was, say, a congregation or a meeting of people concerned with, i don't know, migration or what the government might call far right thugs, if people were getting stabbed en masse year on yean getting stabbed en masse year on year, they'd can the event. so why is this carnival still allowed to go ahead ? allowed to go ahead? >> no, it's part of the london culture. i'm a londoner. i've been brought up in west london and now i live in east london. and you just said, you know,
11:13 am
isn't it great to have multicultural, you know, multicultural, you know, multicultural people sitting on these sofas? >> you did say that. >> you did say that. >> yeah, but look, it's a london tradition. it is worrying. it's not that safe if you don't stay in the main bits of the carnival, but, you know, the floats , the sequins, the jerk floats, the sequins, the jerk chicken, the, the bands, the, you know, all of that stuff that goes on. yeah, exactly. the vibe of the carnival itself is not really dangerous because it's on the main drag. it's all the little dodgy side streets. and if you're not careful where the crowds build up, and i know that the police work really hard to stop the crowds bill, by moving the human traffic around the tube stations and stuff. i've been there a few times. i'm not that keen on really big crowds because i'm quite short, and i do get a bit scared when it gets a bit too kind of squeezy. you know, when the humans start squeezing each other, would you, would you go, not with my body, but i would certainly. you know, i'd celebrate anyone else dancing on those floats, but i don't think, you know. do you know what? it's a bit like the
11:14 am
winter fuel tax. if as soon as you say, let's ban it, let's just stop anything fun, let's stop anything good. people don't like things to be stopped. i think there's a psychological thing. do you think, lewis? >> i think that that would be my point. i get what you're saying, and you've got your statistics. very good. but your facts. you've got your stats, your stats, your stats, the discussion. but but i think , discussion. but but i think, look, we can't be deterred by bad behaviour. why should something that thousands of people enjoy be ruined for the behaviour of a bad few? now, that's not saying do nothing of course we need to be policing it better. you know , there are better. you know, there are different campaigns you could probably run to try and deter knife crime. you know, there's people more expert in that than me. but we don't cancel anything just because there are a few very few bad actors. >> i am with you on that , lewis, >> i am with you on that, lewis, ihave >> i am with you on that, lewis, i have to say. and as much as we can look at the stats of the stabbings and we can say we'd prefer that absolutely not to happen. and there are between 2 and 3 million people that attend carnival and just a very few people that cause trouble , a people that cause trouble, a very small majority, in the
11:15 am
words of the met police, they put out a press release last night and they said it is just a very small minority of people that cause trouble for everybody else . >> so >> so you're >> so you're you're >> so you're you're still >> so you're you're still here with us. >> i ask you, have you ever been to carnival. >> i actually yeah. when i was born we lived in notting hill till i was about two before it was so bougie and my, my granny was so bougie and my, my granny was really involved in the local church. and so i would like dress up in all these glittery outfits and go on the floats and everything, only till i was about four. very cool, very fun. but obviously i wasn't. i wasn't involved in in all of it, but no, no, don't the locals or the notting hill residents have to sort of board up their homes and the businesses? >> is that what happens? >> is that what happens? >> is that what happens? >> i heard i don't want to be spreading fake news here. we should probably check this, but, but i heard that some of them were being paid to get out over the over the course by the council to get out of their homes because there is such mayhem over the weekend and it's easier just not to have people there. >> i heard people were charging admission to their to use their toilets.
11:16 am
>> yeah, they did, or very expensive airbnb. well yeah. >> if you can afford to live in notting hill, i mean, i don't think too you're hard up. >> people set up shops out of their own. windows and stuff, don't they? they serve drinks. yeah, yeah. you know, but i mean, i don't think i wouldn't like to live in notting hill this weekend. >> yeah, yeah, i think it's a great opportunity for different cultures to come together and learn about different cultures and, come together, have a good time . time. >> kumbayah my lord. >> kumbayah my lord. >> no wrong culture. >> no wrong culture. >> not quite. you obviously don't know about dancehall. i'll teach you another time. >> yeah, you teach me, right? let's move on swiftly. there's a really interesting story, esther in, the daily telegraph. jamie oliver, the celeb chef, says he wants his children to struggle, quote unquote, despite his 13 year old son landing a bbc cookery show. so i think he's basically saying, look, despite having all the money in the world and all the opportunities in the world, i still want my kids to kind of go through the hard knocks of life to really build their character. do you reckon there's some sense in doing that? yeah. >> you know what? poorjamie
11:17 am
>> you know what? poor jamie oliver, you know, he's so in denial, isn't he? i love jamie oliver. i love everything he does.i oliver. i love everything he does. i love his cooking. i love his books. okay. but his children are called poppy. honey. daisy. boo. petal blossom. huggy bear. and is it river rocket? have i got them right? oh well done. okay, there you go. it's like a kind of like a poem, isn't it? so, jamie, i'm so sorry about this, but your kids are being brought up in a very different environment to you with your down to earth, lovely pub environment with parents that cook nice pub food in essex. your kids are not those kids, they're different kids and you can't pretend that they're being brought up in a different household environment. his kids are brought up in a lovely middle class, famous entitled tv show environment, andifs entitled tv show environment, and it's different for your kids. it is, within reason they're not going to get everything they want. >> but i can't stand this from celebrities where it's sort of like poverty porn they crave just. oh, if only my children were poor. it's like, oh, don't be so stupid. i can't stand it. you just say, look, my kids are very lucky, and i hope that i
11:18 am
put the values on them. but this idea of i'm going to make them struggle. there's a mental health implication to that, because if you've grown up in a massive mansion, gone to private school, your dad got your tv show, and then it's like, well, off you go. and then all you can afford is a two bed flat somewhere. you're going to feel like i've failed. so actually, here's a mental health responsibility to these kids to sort of make sure that they go on a path that that doesn't make them feel like they've completely failed and not lived up to their dad. >> and also, he is going to be kind of judgy like his dad judging us, is he? he doesn't approve of us because where are these entitled kids? we don't really know how to build our resilience. he also says something like, what is it? he says? and we were talking about it earlier, a cauldron of anxiety and worry. it's okay to have a cauldron of anxiety and worry. it's all part of life. i get you, jamie, but your kids are just not being brought up in that to down earth environment that to down earth environment that you crave so much. so don't give them a hard time. >> i'll also never forgive jamie for oliver that national campaign. when i was at school, where they got rid of all the vending machines and all the parents thought, oh, it's good, but for our generation, he's
11:19 am
always the one that got rid of the vending machine. >> the vending machine. >> the vending machine. >> i do think it's important to instil the lessons in your children that you learned growing up, and, some of my friends like to say, you know, listen, you must feel. so it's like just making sure that they know kind of the, the values and the important, the important values in life that might get them through sticky situations. i don't know what you think, olivia. >> well, yeah, it's a really tncky >> well, yeah, it's a really tricky one, isn't it? obviously, i don't feel sorry for incredibly rich people, but i do think that children who are born into lots of privilege, the richest people i know, tend to be the least happy. if your parents are sort of pave your lifestyle, you don't need to get a job. then you end up in a bit of a bit of a miserable rut. but then of course, it would be hard to kind of cast your children off if you have the money to give them an amazing life. >> do you remember anita roddick, the founder of the body shop, the late, great anita roddick? yeah she famously said, i'm not giving any of my money to my children. and she gave the money to the business and her kids had nothing. i was quite famous. >> i bought her a house once. i need to know she lives down. she
11:20 am
was born and lived in littlehampton in west sussex. yeah some years ago i ended up buying her house. i've sold it now, but what was it like? a lovely, really nice house. >> did it smell nice? >> did it smell nice? >> smell nice? yeah, yeah. dispensers all around the walls. no, but yeah , she's. she was no, but yeah, she's. she was a wonderful woman. anita roddick, you know, really talented and great businesswoman. >> but valuable life lessons that children can use later on in life, i think is important. >> yeah, definitely. and i've been thinking about this with school. i, i should i ever consider sending my kids to private school? i don't know, i think they'd get a better education, but i also worry that they'll miss out on sort of the hard knocks of life and, you know, the rough and tumble of it, >> so i it,- >> so i don't it, >> so i don't think i'd do private school. i think you want them to meet people from different walks of life and understand and go to that person's house and realise they have a nicer house, the mummy and daddy, and that person doesn't have a nicer house. as mummy and daddy. i think that that's important. if you go to private school, everyone's from a certain background and then you're kind of that's kind of, i don't know. >> i think it depends on
11:21 am
schools, actually. i think wherever you live, every school is different. every child is different. and i think match the school to the child, whether it's private or not. every everyone's got their own, you know, place where they fit in better, whether they're quirky or intellectual or, you know, there's grammar schools, there's so many different types of schools. it's not about private or non—private. >> it's such it's such a minefield for parents. and we're going to make mistakes. of course you're going to you're going to you know, every parent likes to think you'll learn from your own mistakes and your own parents growing up. but i think inevitably, we're not perfect, but do you think you have to have a plan? >> i wrote down a list of all the things i want my kids to have by the time they're 18. like different skills, different things i want them to have learned. and i'll take them all off. >> yeah, but it's at the end of the day, like my daughter is 18, my son is 14. they take on a life of their own and their plan is different from your plan. >> they live under my roof. >> they live under my roof. >> they live under my roof. >> they will tick this list off. >> they will tick this list off. >> this is the problem. then they can do what they want. >> your plan. you know you've got good plans, but they will change. just be flexible. >> olivia. esther lewis, thank you very much. appreciate it. still to come, we'll be joined by showbiz guru steph takyi and sports extraordinaire aidan
11:22 am
magee for your latest showbiz and sports news. >> but up next, how much do you love your dog? do they come above your partner? and ahead of national dog day, we'll be joined by a top vet for her best tips on how to look after your pampered pooches.
11:23 am
11:24 am
11:25 am
>> hello! welcome back! 1125 ben and tatiana with you on saturday morning live. we've got some emails. tatiana. go on then, i'll do one and you can do more about me. loads about you. i'm joking . i absolutely love you. joking. i absolutely love you. >> oh, that's very nice. go on then. >> does it make you feel good? >> does it make you feel good? >> i'm very appreciative. and, yeah. >> you know, you've got a legion of fans, anyway , devere group. of fans, anyway, devere group. good morning. you say the best thing you can give to your children is to teach them how to stand on their own two feet, no matter how much money you have. i know loads of people who are spoilt and got pretty much everything they wanted from their parents, and they grew up to be useless. indeed, frederick , to be useless. indeed, frederick, you want to read that one out
11:26 am
for you? that one's for me. cos you're a fierce notting hill carnival supporter. frederick. you say notting hill carnival is law breaking on a massive scale. the plastic coppers will arrest no one and jacks you on that one. >> jacks says. what's the point of having wealthy parents if they don't want you to benefit from their wealth? i'd ask you to be adopted. >> that was who is the celeb the other day. they gave an interview saying that they were. who was it? they were multi—millionaires and they said, i fly first class and my kids fly in economy each and every time . i can't remember who every time. i can't remember who it was, but they were saying until they earn their own money or learn to appreciate success and hard work, you ain't flying business and you ain't flying first class. well, i suppose there's an argument. >> they're still getting a flight from their parents, aren't they? >> yeah, i guess so. freebie free holiday. >> well, this bank holiday monday will be celebrating national dog day by uncovering how many pet owners would rather spend the bank holiday with their pet over their partner. in fact, new research has uncovered the five key personas that make
11:27 am
up generation pet. that's the new wave of post—pandemic pet owners, with 58% saying they worry about their pet being diagnosed with a serious illness. well, joining us now to tell us more about how we should be caring for our pampered poochesis be caring for our pampered pooches is doctor edwina gilded water. doctor, good morning to you and thank you very much for joining us on saturday morning live. tell us exactly what national dog day is all about. >> so first of all, good morning, tatiana and ben. thanks for having us. and yeah, i think it's great we're celebrating national dog day. the research that you mentioned highlights that you mentioned highlights that or reaffirms that we are a the uk is a nation of animal lovers and, some of the interesting facts coming through thatis interesting facts coming through that is that, 80% of actually of us think that pet as part of the family . so with that, and as you family. so with that, and as you mentioned, our generation pet as we refer to these are the new pet owners who have come on board during the pandemic ,
11:28 am
board during the pandemic, there's a lot to learn with being a new pet owner. so it's important that we, we learn about that pet and we reach out to the right people , which is to the right people, which is our vet. so interesting facts. as you mentioned, a third of pet owners are preferring to spend time with their pet this weekend over their partner, but again, when we look at what the pet bnngs when we look at what the pet brings, it probably isn't too surprising. 60% of pet owners and dog owners specifically calling them out , say that their calling them out, say that their dog improves their mental health, and 55% noting that improves their their physical health by getting out and about. so i think that's really, wonderful news for pet owners. and it's important that we think about how do we support that pet. how do we support it through their health so that we benefit from that quality of life and support them through that process? as well? >> it's also about showing that love and appreciation for these animals, which don't ask anything of us but love, isn't it really? and they do a lot for us. they keep us safe with the
11:29 am
emergency services. they help the blind, the deaf, disabled. they're very selfless. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> they are, as an with with pet ownership, with dogs. they are the one who will always be happy to see us. they never disagree with us and they're true companions. and i think recognising what they have done for us through the pandemic, for a lot of people, they were their companion and we've benefited from that. for households that had families that have brought in a new dynamic to that, so, so they bring a huge amount, to our lives and to society , actually, lives and to society, actually, they bring a purpose. that was another point that came through this research that we did at zoetis uk is that they bring a purpose to life. and i think that's another thing to call out. it's so important for ourselves, for society to have that purpose, but with that comes responsibility. and that's ensuring that we do support their health and we know how to do that as well. so you call it many charities that that benefit and not just the charities, but
11:30 am
the people associated with those charities as well. so there's also then a responsibility for us to help the animal maintain good health and know how to do that as well. so doctor, i'm going to be a bit of a party pooper and suggest that if you'd rather spend your bank holiday with your dog than your partner, maybe we've got too much of an overreliance on our pets , overreliance on our pets, >> i think it depends on what way you look at it. >> for some people, it may be a connection that they have. it may be that, that bond has been formed before that partnership has formed as well. but i think it's a positive thing that we have. and we should celebrate it. they bring us so much and, it's a positive thing. it's a third of society. it's not everybody, and again, if we say 80% of them see them as part of the family, it's we may we may choose a part of our family that we'd prefer to spend time with, so it's, it's not something to
11:31 am
fear, but i think it's something to celebrate that. that we recognise that. and it brings us so much. >> so. so how can people celebrate national dog day, then ? celebrate national dog day, then? >> i guess it's a bank holiday weekend. we've got a three day weekend, which is quite nice and i make sure we get out and about. so if we're thinking about. so if we're thinking about our dogs, whether we're going to the park or going to the beach or maybe kind of a rural environment, that's great. but again, we want to consider what does that entail? if the weather is warm, hopefully it will be nice. just make sure if you're travelling with your dog, you're travelling with your dog, you have got they've got water that they're well hydrated. if you're travelling in a car, don't leave them in the car on their own. naturally, when they're out walking, make sure they're out walking, make sure the pavement just check the pavements. it's not likely to be too hot, but just make sure that that temperature of that pavement isn't too hot to touch it with your palm, your hands to make sure if it's too hot for your hand for five seconds. it's too hot for your for your dog, but i don't think we're expecting those extreme temperatures here. unfortunately and again, if you're going to maybe the rural environment, to
11:32 am
woodlands, etc, make sure your dog is covered for ticks. we don't want them coming back with any creepy crawlies. they're not pleasant, but also they can carry disease. so there's things that we can do but ensure that we get out and enjoy. >> yeah, watch out for those ticks and lyme's disease a dog's. edwina, thank you for joining us. really appreciate it.thank joining us. really appreciate it. thank you. have you got any pets? >> no i have had dogs before though. and they're lovely. >> i think i'm more of a cat person. >> i like cats as well. we've got a family pet called dee dee. dee dee dee dee sanchez. >> oh, nice. >> oh, nice. >> he gets called out at the vets. it's senor dee dee sanchez. >> oh, cute. okay, let's get your news headlines with sam francis . francis. >> very good morning to you. it's just after half past 11. and the top story this hour. the sinking of the bayesian superyacht off sicily is now being treated as a potential crime. prosecutors have this morning opened a manslaughter and shipwreck investigation into

a lot of money to get those passports replaced. so she sent the dog back to the shelter and it was only lasted two weeks in her home. now she's saying she's thinking of adopting another dog, so it's forced peta now to come out and said, actually, what you did was quite cruel. we always hear this all the time. dogs are not just for christmas , dogs are not just for christmas, especially during the pandemic. a lot of people were getting dogs to try and keep them entertained, but they are. they have feelings as well. if you're going to get a dog, you have to understand it's a responsibility. lily allen, she's worth over £3 million. if it was that bad, get a dog sitter and there's no need to get this dog. introduce it to your home and then take it back to the shelter. so, peta, have come out. they said, actually, you need to get an accessory dog because dogs are not accessories. and they've said, actually what you've done is quite cruel. it's unspeakable. and you do not deserve to have another dog again. >> i think she said it was quite expensive for her to get these documents redone. they didn't she? >> yeah, and that's what the peta have said. they said you can always replace a passport and visas, but this mary has now
11:42 am
been sent back to a shelter. it might have taken her months to get a new home. and the trauma that dogs do go through is nothing that should be taken in a light manner as well. but that's a that's a really shocking story. >> i think it's awful. >> i think it's awful. >> yeah, i think it is. >> yeah, i think it is. >> you're worth a couple of million. how much does it cost to replace a passport? i see £150 at tops and that's it. >> and i see all these wealthy people. they have dog sisters, dog sitters, dog nannies. so if it was too hard for her, i think if she gave it a couple more weeks, the dog could have been trained and know not to chew passports or anything in the house, but. so she's not in the good books. do we think lily should get another dog, >> not. no, not if she's going to treat dogs like that. yeah. you know, why don't you spend the money training your dog not to eat your stuff? >> well, i don't think that should happen again, but i think she should be given a second chance. oh, that's interesting. dunng chance. oh, that's interesting. during covid, a lot of pressure . during covid, a lot of pressure. >> stress during that time. you're so. >> you're too kind. >> you're too kind. >> you're too kind. >> you are too kind. i'm like, no, lily, stay away from dogs. >> oh, she can afford it as
11:43 am
well. hasn't she been flogging her feet pictures. >> and she has been on onlyfans. but it might be desperate times for her to go to ollie fans, but who knows? >> speaking of desperate times, yeah, it's the end of a hollywood couple. >> oh, again, jennifer lopez and ben affleck. they've called it quits for a second time. they first split in 2004, but this week j—lo made it official and she filed documents for their divorce. she says it's something that they can't repair. i think for months now in the media, we've been speculating, speculating about them being broken up. as you can tell, they have two different kinds of lifestyles. j.lo is very much a showbiz girl. she loves the celebrity lifestyle. she loves being out there. ben affleck is more private. he's been battling , more private. he's been battling, trying to be a recovering alcoholic, so i think they just were in two different pages in the sense of their relationship. but they didn't sign a prenup. guys so now the big question is what happens to all their assets? they worked on a film which is called the unstoppable, which is called the unstoppable, which is called the unstoppable, which is due to come out in september . so which is due to come out in september. so this is very much
11:44 am
a couple who are still tied together. and in most hollywood couples, when it comes to sorting out who gets what, that's when it turns quite nasty. they've both been maintained, their silence on the split, but i'm sure j.lo will come out with an interview eventually about it. >> he's just looked so miserable. in recent months. >> there's been video clips doing the rounds online where they're getting into a car together, he opens the door for her, she gets in and he's like, she slams the door. he just looks thoroughly miserable. >> i just think, you know, it bnngs >> i just think, you know, it brings that question. when people break up, you think to yourself, there's a reason why yourself, there's a reason why you broke up in the first place. sometimes people get back together and works out, but i think it's different when you're in the limelight and you've got someone like j.lo, who i like to call a diva in a good way, who wants all the attention to someone, ben affleck, who's private. so i think they must have known that it was going to be quite difficult for them. >> who's worth more? do you know j.lo? >> she's worth $400 million. ben affleck is $150 million, so he might be quids in. >> so, yeah, so she won't necessarily be going for his.
11:45 am
>> no. >> no. >> any of his assets. >> any of his assets. >> well, basically what she filed in the documents as well, she's actually filed that he doesn't get no spousal support. and she's also done the same. so hopefully he could adhere to that. but to be honest, i can't see ben affleck wanting more attention about the split than is already out there at the moment . >> yeah. >> yeah. it's >> yeah. it's sad >> yeah. it's sad isn't >> yeah. it's sad isn't it »— >> yeah. it's sad isn't it. >> yeah. it's sad isn't it . they >> yeah. it's sad isn't it. they gave it another go. >> they did, they tried. they only lasted two years. they had the big wedding and all that stuff. and again i just don't think ben wanted that. and i think ben wanted that. and i think j.lo loves it. this is her fourth marriage that's gone down the pan. so probably give up after the first. so she might be fifth time lucky. >> well, she had some beautiful, beautiful children with mark. >> yeah she did. yeah. twins. so who knows. i'm sure she'll get a toyboy. now. keep him under manners. >> what else have you got? we've got taylor swift. >> so this week, taylor swift said goodbye to her european part of the eras tour. and it was amazing. i saw her at wembley stadium, but also she timed it quite well because she opened up about that foiled vienna terror plot attack that
11:46 am
was planned against her shows in austria, and she said that it's kind of filled her with a new sense of terror, you know? can you imagine for taylor swift, this is your own concert. and terrorists were planning to attack it. she says that she'd done the right thing where she didn't want to talk about it, because she didn't want to give it much publicity than it served. the main thing she wanted was to make sure that these shows in london were safe , these shows in london were safe, and she said if she had spoken about it, it just would have brought too much attention. obviously, she had to deal with the southport stabbings as well, which was at a taylor swift inspired dance class. so there has been speculation that she actually went to go see the families privately again to kind of send her condolences. so i think she's done the right thing. and i think now we're entering this new frontier of concerts. now because you can see that they are under threat from these apparent terrorist plots. so i think now going forward, a lot of artists are going to be thinking about security. this week. we saw coldplay in vienna. they had snipers at the top of their arena. so it's i think a lot of
11:47 am
artists now are going to be thinking about security. >> and of course, years ago we also had ariana grande's concert, wasn't it? >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> bombing in. >> bombing in. >> yeah, in manchester. so it's just horrible. it's a horrible sense of times where you think fans are just going out to have a good time, and knowing this is at the back of people's heads. but for taylor swift, she's the actual performer. so that brings actual performer. so that brings a new sense of fear of terror as she said. >> all right steph, thank you so much. >> no worries. >> no worries. >> and your pictures from the taylor swift concert. >> oh my gosh, i went i was a full on swiftie. oh you looked amazing. thank you. thank you guys. >> thank you. and still to come we'll be joined in the studio by our very own aidan magee with all of the latest sports news. so stay
11:48 am
11:49 am
11:50 am
here. >> hello. welcome back ben and tatyana with you on saturday morning live and some big
11:51 am
breaking news we've just discovered, haven't we, that we were born in the same hospital. same hospital . i'm a year older same hospital. i'm a year older or two years older than you, but sorry i caught on. >> you join at the hip now. >> you join at the hip now. >> but yeah. that's amazing. we're born in the same hospital, isn't it? >> in, can we say where in sussex. >> in sussex. yeah. >> in sussex. yeah. >> crazy. there we go. right let's move on. bbc presenter jermaine jenas has been sacked, of course, by the corporation following complaints about his workplace conduct. the former england footballer, who regularly hosts the one show on bbc one and of course, match of the day, has said he's seeking legal advice about the situation. sports broadcaster aidan magee joins us now with the latest. aiden, good morning. good morning to you both. >> yeah look i mean it started on thursday didn't he. he was actually on air at talksport. i believe he knew about it before that. well they kind of presented it as if it happened on air, you know. and then they went through this interview process with him. he actually felt like a police interview where he was. they were quizzed him about the situation, and he wasn't able to say anything because his lawyer told him to say no. and he even asked at one
11:52 am
point to he said, look, are we actually on air here? because if we are, i need to turn it off. it was really, really uncomfortable. it's almost like they seized the moment to think, right, we've got someone in the building. it could be an exclusive. let's do it. i've probably done the same, if i'm perfectly honest with you. however fast forward it on 48 hours. it looks as if it's all done for him now. i mean, i don't think the bbc or anyone else can be seen to be, especially not a main line broadcaster can be seen to be endorsing or in any way condoning that kind of behaviour towards women in the workplace. but i do believe that someone in the last day and a half has got hold of him, tatiana, and maybe convinced him that if he goes through the right steps, there might might be a way back. because i don't really understand why he would seek to mitigate the situation by speaking to the sun. first of all, he hasn't sold. he hasn't sold the story there. i wouldn't have thought. he's just placed it there. his agency has has ditched him, but someone will obviously have intervened over the over that sort of that penod the over that sort of that period in between and said look, you know you can redeem this a crisis management kind of agent. and steadily reintegrate him. so crisis management i would say, yeah, it's known in football. i mean, john terry had it. there was a guy called phil hall, used to be editor of the news of the
11:53 am
world. he specialised in that kind of thing. i don't think he's involved in this specifically, but let's just hear shall we? the interview that he gave to the sun, where he's he's quite he's quite contrite. we can say that this is completely on me, >> i am 100% in the wrong and i accept full responsibility for that. >> so that's jermaine jenas talking overnight. i think it was from the sun. i don't see a way back perfectly, to be perfectly honest. there are plenty of people who could do that job. i knew him, i actually gave him one of his first jobs in tv at sky. maybe 12 years ago, and he launched the aquinas foundation. we went around a few schools, the bulwell academy in nottingham, for example. great fella. and then oh, he was great. he was great. i just i didn't if you'd said to me though, tatyana, he was going to have this stellar career in broadcasting, not just in sport. he transcends sport. i'd have said it was extremely unlikely. >> wow, aiden, thank you so much. i do feel sorry for jermaine jenas, but he's he's been a silly boy, hasn't he? and he's paying the price for it. so there we go. look thank you so much for joining there we go. look thank you so much forjoining us today. much for joining us today. really appreciate you being with us all. your emails, all your comments. you have fun. >> yeah. and thank you for all
