angry to learn of these allegations. it's a angry to learn of these allegations . it's a really allegations. it's a really serious matter. it's right that they're being investigated properly by the relevant law enforcement authorities, including, as fiona said, a criminal investigation by the police. >> migration is at record levels at the moment. under this government , they've completely government, they've completely lost control. we need to get that number down. we need to get it significantly down. i'm not going to put an arbitrary figure on it because every single politician has put a number on it has never met that number. ben alan bates wrote to me. i've beenin ben alan bates wrote to me. i've been in office about two weeks, and i wrote to him and said, no, this is a matter for the post office. we don't govern it and i'm not going to meet you. he wrote back, furious. he did. and then i read his letter , said, then i read his letter, said, well, i better meet him. and i met him in the october, as you said, fiona and i took all his questions and i asked them to my officials and to the post office, and they gave me a categorical assurance that the points that mr bates was making were not true .

were not true. >> when labour launched their manifesto last week, there were six key objectives, not one of them mentioned legal immigration, not one of them mentioned the population explosion in this country. >> okay. the search for missing teenager jay slater has entered its fifth day in tenerife after he was last heard from on monday morning. >> very sad. now a friend of his has hit out at the spanish police, claiming that they are not doing enough and that they want the british police to get involved . involved. >> the 19 year old called a friend who said he was lost with no water and his phone was on 1% battery. so joining us now from tenerife is journalist cleo o'flynn. good morning cleo. give us the latest update please on this young british lad. the new video has emerged this morning of him in a nightclub i understand. does that change materially. the investigation thus far? >> no, not really . if the video >> no, not really. if the video comes from the event that he was attending with his friends last

weekend, and i don't think the police feel that there are any new clues in the video. it's a sign that, you know, he was having fun before he disappeared. we're still looking . there's no new leads at the moment as far as the police are concerned . they confirmed to me concerned. they confirmed to me yesterday evening that they are continue to continue to focus their search on an area known as majorca in tena rural park, which is a mountainous, rugged , which is a mountainous, rugged, volcanic kind of a landscape. lots of ravines and gulfs and trails where jane might have gone off route, so the video , gone off route, so the video, while it shows that he was here, if we needed proof of that, it doesn't give the police, as far as i am aware, any new leads. it's got to be said the police operate differently to maybe the way that we would be used to police operating in the uk and ireland. they do tend to work. i won't say secretively, but in a in a closed way they like to keep their operations tight and i certainly haven't heard that they are not putting as many are

at the full forces of the security teams that they can muster into the search for jay. and there is concerned, i think, as anybody else, and certainly as anybody else, and certainly as the local population are , as the local population are, that we find this young man. >> well , with that we find this young man. >> well, with his mobile phone when he made the call, have they traced exactly where he was when that happened ? that happened? >> so the ping from that mobile phone was near this small, picturesque village called masca. anyone who's been to tenerife and has decided to leave the coast for a visit might have visited it. it's a tiny village up . tiny village up. >> oh, we seem to have lost her for a moment. cleo, you're frozen for a moment. but it does. it is . does. it is. >> oh, you're back with us, cleo . there were some reports this morning in the sun newspaper. they've got some reporters on the ground there who are saying that two british men who jay was partying with the night he disappeared, had flown back to england . and on tuesday they

england. and on tuesday they were meant to go home. on monday, they flew home on tuesday instead. but jay's friends are now calling for british police to get involved and speak to those two men. what do we know about them? if anything, we as far as we are aware, there are two british people who are also here at the same party or the same three day rave new generation rave festival. >> and that's when they got to know jay and invited him back to their airbnb, which was near that village . now i have been that village. now i have been told that the police here have spoken to them and then they flew back on tuesday. that is the information that i have been given, whether that can be stood up or is incorrect. i don't know, but i mean, i'm going on what i'm being told from a very reliable source. i don't see that there would be any harm in the police speaking to him them again in the uk, the idea of bringing british police out here, i think , would need to be here, i think, would need to be thought through very thoroughly if they're going to bring in an international force, i think they would need people who know they would need people who know the terrain very well. it would

be like asking a canarian police force to go and search for some somebody on on benbulben or in the lake district. i mean, these it is a very this particular kind of terrain that is known to our local mountain and rescue teams. it is it looks like a small island. when you fly in, it looks like it should be to easy search and navigate, but it is not. and certainly if you go off path up near that village of masca in that park of pino, these are paths that have been marked and changed by erosion. they're volcanic zones. they're dry, arid. you're looking. we can see them there. there's only very little green cover for anybody. and if you go along a trail that thinks might lead you down to the coast , you will down to the coast, you will suddenly turn and find yourself perhaps heading north or north—west where you didn't know that you were going. so it's quite easy to get lost and get disorientated. one thinks it should be easy to find people. unfortunately every now and then somebody canarian people who know the area well do also go

missing and are not found despite the full force of the law out looking for them and cleo, i was reading that temperatures at night time there can go as low as one degree. >> is that right? and of course, in the daytime you can get very, very hot. and jay, as we understand, was wearing only shorts and a t shirt. >> it it the temperatures have been at about 25, 26 degrees down here in the coast, up in the mountainous areas. it is a thinner altitude. my geographical knowledge is not scientific, but i know that if you're up that that high up once night falls, yes, the temperatures do drop dramatically. so it's hot during the day, cold at night, and jay was wearing, as we believe, t shirts, shorts and probably just ordinary tennis shoes. he hadn't got water. we were led to believe that's what he told his friends when he phoned them on monday morning . so we're 72 monday morning. so we're 72 hours into a search. obviously everyone is still very hopeful. i know there's a facebook page here which is being run by his friends and family , and i think

friends and family, and i think last night i feel for them because there was a sense of, i think, despair from some of the comments. they felt they had done absolutely everything they could and there was still no sign of jay. it is the most difficult thing to do to try and look for a family member or a friend , especially in a foreign friend, especially in a foreign country, because while you might come here on holidays in the tourist areas, when you're up in the mountains , you are in the mountains, you are in a foreign country in many ways, so it must be very, very demoralising, not just for the police, but also for the friends and family who are looking for them. and, you know, the rest of us, the community here have their fingers crossed and we really still hope for the best. >> cleo, thank you very much. that's cleo o flynn. she's there live in tenerife. very, very sad. >> echoes of michael mosley hasn't it. >> just a little bit walk and disappearing. yeah >> it's just you know when you're somewhere else, somewhere foreign. i get really concerned that people go to somewhere that they don't really know the terrain and then make a decision to try and get somewhere else. i

just think i'm so i'm so scaredy cat. i just wouldn't do anything like that. >> it was his first holiday abroad as well. >> tragic. 18 years old. his mother , debbie, who has spoken mother, debbie, who has spoken this morning to the newspapers. she believes that somebody may have even kidnapped her son, saying there's a main road, there's bus stops there, there's cafes, it's a hiking route. she said, i've got a bad feeling. i'm warned there's a lot of bad people in tenerife . i think he's people in tenerife. i think he's being held against his will. >> i mean, obviously those are her thoughts and, you know, she obviously wanted to be found alive, so she may well be saying those things. we have no evidence of any of that. >> okay. well we'll keep you up to date with that, tragic search throughout the morning. we've got two other reporters coming down the line very, very shortly from spain, including a daily mail reporter, nick pisa, who's been getting into the nitty gritty of the search. but anyway, up next, did you see this last night, the poor performance from england in the euros drawing one all with denmark. there are calls now for gareth southgate, the manager, to resign. do you agree? but in better sporting news i'm not sure if you like tennis now. now i do tennis, jack draper, young

22 year old brit. he beat the world number two alcaraz in queens yesterday in london. massive victory for him. aidan magee is going to be here in just a second. we're going to run through the tennis and the football in two this is britain's newsroom on gb news. stick with

us. >> hello. >> hello. >> welcome back. it's 950. just about 10 to 10 on gb news. britain's newsroom. now, whilst most party leaders were just about finishing up on their tv interviews from last night's debate, reform uk's nigel farage wasn't there. instead, can you guess where he was? he was sinking pints watching england play sinking pints watching england play in a pub . sinking pints watching england play in a pub. grand sinking pints watching england play in a pub . grand prix play in a pub. grand prix preterm britain so gb news sports presenter aidan magee joins us.

>> okay, so i know how badly they played in the little sort of precursor. the game against iceland where they lost. yeah, this should have been alarm bells, but instead they thought oh it's okay. it's like a mock exam. now, this disaster, i wouldn't call it a disaster. >> i mean, look, i mean, yeah, i wouldn't even go that far. i just think that it's symptomatic. no, not not that ehhen symptomatic. no, not not that either. not not that either . but either. not not that either. but it's symptomatic of how england perform under gareth southgate. so they came out of the blocks quite quickly. they got ahead but then they just retreated into their shell. we saw it against croatia in the semi—final, in the world cup, in russia in 2018. we saw it in euro 2020, which was played a year later at wembley , the final year later at wembley, the final against italy. italy were there for the taking and we should have really pressed home our advantage and instead we were treated and when in any level of football gnaana right, if you give the opponents the ball irrespective of the gulf in class that you think might be there if you give them the ball, eventually their growing confidence , their growing confidence, their growing belief, it wasn't a huge

surprise to me that they got back in the game. now is this a problem with personnel? is it a problem with personnel? is it a problem with personnel? is it a problem with tactics? is it a problem with tactics? is it a problem with tactics? is it a problem with the manager? it's probably a little bit of all three now. there are plenty of opfionsin three now. there are plenty of options in that squad to change things going forward. it's better to have these operational difficulties , shall we say, difficulties, shall we say, early in the tournament. they've had problems in before. back in some of us are old enough to remember 1990. there was a flat back four in the first match. it was too rigid. they brought in paul parker for gary stevens. bobby robson was the manager, of course, native of the north east, and they brought in mark wright at sweeper and they looked far, far better going forward. got all the way to the semi—finals, lost on penalties to germany. so you can make make things aiden it isn't isn't the problem . problem. >> southgate's mentality i think it's perfectly nice chap. he's a really kind guy. i've met him a couple of times, very, very nice quy- couple of times, very, very nice guy. but the mentality you go one nil up and as you mentioned in euro 2020, the final against italy, one nil up with well all game to go. and what do you do. you park the bus like a scared and not more more so now the problem is that the squad is a bit more unbalanced. >> so if your best players are further up the pitch, don't forget james maddison and jack

grealish. fantastic attacking players. didn't even get into this squad . so that's because this squad. so that's because we've got a glut of players in that area of the pitch, so you've got to play. i would have thought to their strengths when you've got weaknesses at the back, the best form of defence nanais back, the best form of defence nana is to attack and they didn't do that last night. now kyle walker made a good point afterwards. you know, he said what about phil foden? he was slightly better tonight. jude bellingham was largely anonymous and kyle walker said it sounds like an excuse, but it is true. he said you're playing against players who are playing for their country now you're looking at one for one, man for man. the denmark side, they've got some good players but they're playing for their country. it really matters. they you're not going to swap these sides apart. and i'd rather improve as we went along. then thrash teams in the group stage as we did in russia. and then struggle later on. my only concern about this nana is that it's 2006. all over again, the golden generation, which later later became known as the golden shower . david later later became known as the golden shower. david beckham, steven, steven, steven gerrard, paul scholes, rooney the two goals they were nowhere to be seen when it came to winning trophies. they couldn't get past the quarterfinal. >> this is a disease of almost a british sport in many things, so we're like this in tennis as

well. eventually, andy murray managed to crack through when he won the olympics and 2012 wasn't it? yeah that's right. last but we have this. >> he backed up with the us open just a few weeks later. >> we seem to be crumbling when it comes to when it comes to the crunch. i disagree with that. >> i do firmly believe, and i don't think there's any doubt at all. i think the uk or the britain or england rather, is the best sporting nation in the world. we literally compete at everything. there's nothing we don't really , really do very don't really, really do very mind our size and population. yeah, the population is not not small. look at globally. but we do we do make good representation in every sport, not every country. in fact, very few countries can say can say that. so look, i never thought we'd see a grand slam winner in tennis, certainly not on the male side. and we saw it and we saw olympics winner with andy murray. >> talking of tennis, jack draper, young 22 year old, fantastic mentored by andy murray. he beat carlos alcatraz at queen's yesterday a big breakthrough moment. >> yeah yeah. oh hugely. i mean look alcaraz will be i think the stellar player that we that we or the player of his generation over the next ten years or so, the heir apparent to federer , the heir apparent to federer, nadal djokovic take your pick

and for jack draper to pull off that win yesterday. yes. it's quite early in the tournament. but you know he's playing today against tommy paul. who knows what could happen . and jack what could happen. and jack draper number one and number one in the world could be the heir apparent to andy murray, who knows? >> well, i hope so because i can be quite disloyal because remember there was murray hill now, something else now. so murray mound, murray murray mound. that's the one. >> we'll be back in just a second. here's your. >> we'll be back in just a second. here's your . weather. second. here's your. weather. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather update . latest gb news weather update. it's going to be another very dry and bright day for most of us. warmest in the south and east once again, but some rain is arriving later on today from the west. that's a weather front moving into parts of northern ireland through this morning and into western areas of scotland by this afternoon, and we will see some rain on that this evening across the far south and

there will just be some light drizzly rain on and off for many areas of the uk . still fairly areas of the uk. still fairly mild though temperatures not dipping much below ten degrees quite widely now does turn a bit clearer . but quite widely now does turn a bit clearer. but to the west of this weather front. so across northern ireland and scotland, it will be a fine start to the weekend and actually across parts of wales, the southwest should brighten up quite quickly as well . some cloud will likely as well. some cloud will likely unger as well. some cloud will likely linger for more eastern areas of england , southeastern scotland england, southeastern scotland as well. there could be a few showers around two, but it's still going to be feeling warm despite the less in the way of sunshine. temperatures still climbing towards 23 degrees. have a great weekend! bye bye. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather

significant is this new video that's doing the rounds this morning of the young teenager in a nightclub on tenerife. morning, ben. well, the search, the alarm was raised on monday morning. the search started on monday afternoon , i've just got monday afternoon, i've just got off the phone to, police in tenerife . they say the search is tenerife. they say the search is resumed, and the same units that were involved that have been involved all this week, which include, scent dogs, police with scent dogs, police helicopter, mountain rescue experts. they're all up in that same area, combing that same area for clues as to where, jay may be. you know, obviously that that that last video shows a young lad enjoying himself on, on his houday. enjoying himself on, on his holiday . there's nothing in that holiday. there's nothing in that video. i would say that that would lead one, to feel any, any unease about his state of mind, shows a young lad partying. >> so what is it? gerald gerard,

about the terrain that makes it so difficult for them to find somebody. because obviously, when he made the call and sent a picture, i think it was from his mobile phone. we were able to pinpoint where he was. so what is it about where he was that was so difficult to track? >> well, it's a it's, we're talking about a gorge . talking about a gorge. mountains, you know, lots of lots of places where he could have fallen, and obviously, we don't know if he's moved from that last spot. he had 1% battery. he could have moved on from there, it's not just the terrain. it's the fact that he was he was not dressed adequately, for the sort of temperatures , the temperatures temperatures, the temperatures drop in that area at night time. he admitted to having no water and to being completely lost. so it's a mixture of the terrain, but also the fact that he he was a stranger in a in a strange land, you know, that he didn't he didn't know. >> yeah. and gerard, i understand it was his first houday understand it was his first holiday abroad with two friends. he went to that music festival,

the energy festival, so, you know, a parents from across britain can imagine what that's like. your young child going away on their first holiday and tragically ending up missing like this. i mean, talking of the parents, his mother, debbie, this morning has told newspapers that she fears perhaps he may have come to harm. he may have even been kidnapped. how would that suggestion go down with the authorities over there and the media? how is this story being covered in spain , well, the covered in spain, well, the police have said they said from day one they were keeping an open mind. they're not ruling anything out . the focus looks to anything out. the focus looks to be on the, you know, on the on the mountain search, the visible mountain search. but behind the scenes, there's a lot of work going on. people have been spoken to, we know of, at least one witness that we've spoken to who saw jay , walking away from who saw jay, walking away from the village, 10 or 15 minutes after he'd asked her for bus timetables , she was surprised timetables, she was surprised because he was walking in the opposite direction to the one he

should have been heading in if he wanted to return home south, there are some things that that don't add up. but but as i say, police are keeping an open mind and, you know, police investigators, aside from the police that very visibly are carrying out that mountain search, are doing a lot of behind the scenes work that they are not sharing the results of with with the media. they keep him playing things very close to their chest . their chest. >> all right. well, thank you very much. that's gerard cousins joining us live from spain. >> yeah. so many unanswered questions. his friends saying this morning why didn't he just get the bus . the bus stop was get the bus. the bus stop was right outside the airbnb he was waiting for. did he missed the bus. why did he leave his friends to go off with these two lads? >> gerard just said that he went and he asked and then went in in the opposite direction to where he should be going. yeah. so it's a bit. it's all very odd, very strange. >> well, look, joining us now from jay's hometown down in lancashire, oswaldtwistle is our north—west reporter sophie reapen north—west reporter sophie reaper. good morning. sophie. what's the mood like down there ?

what's the mood like down there? >> very good morning to you both. well, the mood here in oswaldtwistle this morning is an incredibly sombre one. of course, we're now on day five, since jay was last heard from that morning , monday morning, he that morning, monday morning, he received a he phone called . received a he phone called. sorry. apologies to his friend lucy, who's told the media that he said he'd missed a bus and that he was instead going to attempt to walk back to their accommodation, which we now know would have taken him around 11 hours on foot. she also said he'd said to her he was lost in the mountains. he wasn't aware of his surroundings. he desperately needed a drink and his phone was on 1. we also know that his mother, debbie, flew out on tuesday morning, she said yesterday. it's been an absolute living nightmare and that she just wants her baby back now here in oswaldtwistle. that is a sentiment that's shared yesterday evening. family and

friends of jay, as well as members of the local community, gathered here at the methodist church. i spoke earlier to the reverend who led the service that took place. this is what he had to tell me. >> started about half past seven and people came in, the church was full as, as you said, and, and people were just quite sombre. to be fair, there , sombre. to be fair, there, worried. and you could tell in the feel of the church it was they were quite worried about what's going on and the fact it's been a number of days now and we haven't heard or seen, found jay , we just started with found jay, we just started with talking about what faith is about, and about there being hope and a light in the darkness . and the message is keeping on that. that can't be put out, for us, that's jesus. but for us today is that light of hope that jay will be found and he'll be okay. >> we heard matt talking there

about hope and a light at the end of the tunnel, and a real symbol for the people of oswaldtwistle has become this blue ribbon that you can see here behind me. there are dozens of them all over this town here in lancashire, that people, members of the local community, put out yesterday evening to say that they still have hope that even after the five days that have passed, they still have hope that jay slater will be returning to his home. >> let's hope that that is the case. sophie reaper, thank you very much. very good to talk to you. all right. we'll stay with us still to come as keir starmer has said that jeremy corbyn would have been a better prime minister than boris johnson. we'll be discussing that comment and much more with our panel next. this is britain's newsroom on

gp news.

good morning. if you've just tuned in, this is britain's newsroom on gb news. it'sjust newsroom on gb news. it's just coming up to 21 minutes after 10:00. i'm nana akua. this is ben leo. >> very good morning to you. we're also joined, by the way, by journalist and broadcaster dawn neesom and broadcaster and author amy nicholl turner in the studio once again, another week goes by and i'm outnumbered by the ladies. >> almost like we plan it on. >> almost like we plan it on. >> you're not going to bully me again about underpants, are you? this week? >> this is like at your house, isn't? have you forgotten to put them on again? i should have checked. >> he's wearing the same ones. are you wearing the same ones? >> for a week from three weeks ago, i should have kept that going much longer. i watched it back, and i thought i should have kept those brilliant. >> it was brilliant. but there are men like that. >> there are men that actually do that. three weeks without washing their underpants. dirty. seriously discussion going on here. >> let's start though, with, question time. last night, keir starmer suggested that , well, starmer suggested that, well, yes, underpants. that corbyn would make a better prime minister than boris johnson. no. why on earth would he say such a thing when he's so far ahead in the polls? it was just unnecessary. >> it really was shooting himself in the foot, wasn't it? i couldn't believe it. to be

fair, i thought the audience last night were brilliant. i thought they were asking far better questions that any of us so—called journalists have ever done. and i think the politicians, when they're put on the spot on an audience like that, they tend to be more honest. i think they struggle to spin the sort of like, you know, the, the web of, what's the word ? obfuscation? yeah, that's the word. yeah. i was going to think of something slightly more. yeah, slightly more rude. but, or the waffle they normally give us. i feel like when they're talking to an audience of real people, they feel like they have to be more honest. and i think that's why he started digging this hole for himself, because we all know he was supporting jeremy corbyn last time round. he was backing him. he he was backing him to be a prime minister, even though he's then gone on to say, well, he wouldn't really have been a good prime minister, would he? will make up your mind with mates like that, who needs enemies? so i think, yeah, starmer, who really, really does need an awful lot wrong to lose this election. that wasn't a good performance last night. >> it was , it was it was >> it was, it was it was a really difficult position to put him in, isn't it? and throughout

this campaign, i guess jeremy corbyn has been a bit of the achilles heel for keir starmer, because how could a labour leader not support a labour leader not support a labour leader like it just wouldn't make sense. >> it's just the model he's got himself into. all he has to say was is a model. >> i mean, he can't possibly model, he can't possibly say, oh yes, i think that the conservative prime minister would have been a better candidate. he has to stand by the principles of his own party. can you imagine if he'd said the conservative prime minister would have been better? the headunes would have been better? the headlines he could have the headunes headlines he could have the headlines were going to be terrible. >> he could have been more intelligent and just said, well, it's down to the british public to determine who would be a better prime minister. they voted for so and so. so therefore , you know, i worked in therefore, you know, i worked in government to promote to support jeremy corbyn because he's a labour leader. he could have said that he always would have preferred a labour government to a conservative government, whoever was at the helm. >> so being honest, whoever was at the helm. >> so being honest , well, i >> so being honest, well, i don't necessarily think that would necessarily be true because a lot of people did not who were labour, people did not support or want jeremy corbyn to

lead the party and deliberately voted for boris johnson. >> i mean, that's happen. >> i mean, that's happen. >> that's sir keir starmer's big selling point. now he's saying, look, i've reformed the labour party, i've dragged them back to the centre, the centre ground. i expelled jeremy corbyn, diane abbott was expelled, that's his big selling stick for this election . election. >> so. so boris johnson was a terrible prime minister. >> i don't think he was that bad. he was dealt he was dealt a pandemic and a ukraine, russia, a russian invasion of ukraine. i mean, that's pretty unprecedented. >> and then what did he deal back? hundreds of lies defending chris pincher, the most horrendous brexit deal that even nigel farage says is an awful brexit deal. yeah, but he wasn't a great prime minister. so of the brexit deal have been. >> it's more the application of brexit that i think nigel is more concerned about, as in that the freedoms that we have within the freedoms that we have within the current deal are not being used in any case, which is one thing that we all look at and say, well, why on earth before we move on? >> everyone likes to now say, look what's happened with brexit. nigel farage, would you believe nigel farage when look how brexit has turned out. nigel

farage hasn't been in government. he's not been in number 10. so how could he pull the strings and architect brexit when it comes i think ben when it comes to who's the worst prime minister, i mean i'd like to nominate david cameron. >> he was the one that took us into the brexit referendum. he didn't have to do that. he did that because he felt like he had to do it because nigel farage would do it. i think that was being a bad prime minister. >> it depends. if you see brexit as a mistake or not, a good prime minister. he said he would have a referendum. he on it and he did what he said he was going to do, but he didn't have to. >> and i think he was pressurised into that by nigel farage. and that is not a man that's strong in his own convictions. and that's what worries me. >> pressurised because he thought there was absolutely no chance brexit would happen. he thought it would please the euro sceptic 50s. >> and but i don't think that was the worst thing that happened last night. i think the worst thing that happened last night was, keir starmer on the whole rosie duffield woman incident. >> oh, what happened ? >> oh, what happened? >> oh, what happened? >> well, well, when he was, again questioned by a brilliant member of the audience about, what is a woman? do you know what is a woman? do you know

what it is yet, and he finally said, oh, yeah, i agree with. oh, yeah, tony blair, he actually said in an interview at the weekend that women have vaginas, men have penis. >> and he sounded like a five year old speaking up in a grown up restaurant. >> absolutely. but the thing that annoyed me about that one in particular, nana, was the fact that he was saying, yeah, okay, that man over there was right in defining what a woman is, but a woman doing the same job. well, she was a bit toxic about rosie duffield. i think keir starmer's got a thing with women . women. >> do you think that his performance is seriously eating into his so—called poll lead? that we keep seeing ? because that we keep seeing? because every time he seems to speak, he does himself damage and rishi sunakis does himself damage and rishi sunak is just as bad, let's be honest. but rishi sunak, in everybody's mind, has already lost. there's nothing there. that's what the polls say. but with keir starmer, he's everything to lose now. >> now i don't think anything is budging. the polls for keir starmer. i actually think people had decided this election before their election was announced by rishi sunak . their election was announced by rishi sunak. i don't think anything's going to push any keir starmer's lead now . he keir starmer's lead now. he

could say pretty much anything and still don't know about that. >> and i don't think the polls are decided. most people are here on the street, people i speak to say i don't know who to vote for. i haven't made up my mind yet. i think those are generally conservative voters, disgruntled conservative voter. not necessarily. >> i don't really think that's we could almost have a bet on it. couldn't we? >> election before the election too? >> yes. yes, that was interesting. >> well, that was the other thing that was raised at the debate last night, wasn't it? rishi sunak was asked about what the people within his party who have been accused of betting on the date of the election , and the date of the election, and again, he said it was he did answer the question again, it was a good question, real hard hitting question. and he said it was incredibly angry and it would be dealt with. but how embarrassing for people so far that we know of being investigated. >> that whole affair, insider betting just personifies, you know, the turmoil that rishi sunak particularly has had this campaign. you're surrounding yourself with some very low grade people. i don't think there's anything, as far as i'm aware, anything illegal about what they did. but it's just, you know, the opposite . you know, the opposite. >> goodness me. well, it

depends. >> it depends how much they knew, because what the betting companies were saying were there are a few flutters of bets in between here and there, just normal. then suddenly , just normal. then suddenly, just before the election was announced, they were bets of over £400, but kind of inconsequential amounts like not life changing amounts. >> so thousands of pounds. but but anyway , that's that's beside but anyway, that's that's beside the point. >> your reputation. it was naive to abuse your power for a few thousand pounds to me makes it even. >> it's kind of besides the point. it'sjust >> it's kind of besides the point. it's just the principle of it. you've got people on the inside trying to make money and bookmakers , although no, we bookmakers, although no, we don't know that they knew anything. >> but it does look suspect . so >> but it does look suspect. so it's potential. we don't know. >> it just shows the moral status quo . status quo. >> according to all the betting, the betting agencies betting on july election spiked significantly the very day before sunak . before sunak. >> and if you want incidents and there were bets of over £400, i know you said it's not life changing money, but if you did bet life changing money and you were close to him, it would become very obvious. >> it's almost like why they need this little dopamine kick that badly that they couldn't resist putting a bet on. it's just, well, it's just if they

knew , it's probably because they knew, it's probably because they thought they could. >> but what about marriages ? >> but what about marriages? they surge after covid, put love on hold from the times. amy. >> yes. so after covid, during covid, we're playing catch up with with weddings because they went down by 50% throughout the three years of covid. so now everybody's playing catch up. and we've seen an increase of weddings this year. but they're actually changing. so smaller, more intimate ceremonies are on the up. people are no longer getting married on the weekends . getting married on the weekends. they're getting married on a weekday. i've seen a lot of that going on. and, and i think it's probably all to do with the. >> i got married in december. >> i got married in december. >> what date in december? christmas. >> wedding day. oh, goodness me, i'm in trouble now. >> oh my god, not another week. >> oh my god, not another week. >> december the ninth. >> december the ninth. >> but you didn't because that is actually the least popular month to get married in this study. and what what is the most unpopular day to get married? it's kind of easy day. >> christmas day? yeah, christmas day. but three couples in 2022 got married on christmas day.

>> my nan and grandad got married on christmas day. really? yeah why not? >> it was because people have got other plans. >> did anyone turn up ? >> did anyone turn up? >> did anyone turn up? >> it was cheaper back in the day to get married on christmas day. so they got married on christmas day and the very same church that i got married in as well. >> but your family are all together, so you might as well tie the knot if you're going to do it there and get on together. >> yeah, i know a couple that got married on new year's eve, which actually was great because it gave everyone a good party to go to. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> so you got double party? i'm just. i'm just waiting for ben's wife to get in touch now. how dare you forget our wedding? oh, she. >> luckily, she doesn't watch. otherwise she probably. >> maybe somebody will watch and tell her she's probably busy washing your underpants. >> is that a threat? nana >> is that a threat? nana >> my wedding is july the 1st, andifs >> my wedding is july the 1st, and it's next week. >> your wedding, am i wedding anniversary are your anniversary ? >> 7- >> yeah, 7_ >> yeah, it's ? >> yeah, it's the 7 >> yeah, it's the first ? >> yeah, it's the first one though, so maybe like that you start losing track. it's a lot to remember. >> yeah, well. oh come on, when's the birthday? i think my wife's. yeah. >> gone . >> gone. >> gone. >> win it back. >> win it back. >> oh, crikey. >> oh, crikey. >> this is not good. oh, no . i'm >> this is not good. oh, no. i'm joking, i'm joking. of course i know. when. when is it good. >> it's in march. >> it's in march. >> i'm not i'm not going to

well. and i just don't think that's true . but i read it, that's true. but i read it, darren, because i felt that, you know, it was your thoughts. >> there's certainly a few champagne socialists with a couple of quid in their pocket who are voting for labour. and just one more very quickly, dave, you say in the absence of any responsible government, the people should have more say. we need more referendums . people should have more say. we need more referendums. bring them on. >> you say, do you think i mean, you saw what happened with the last one where they didn't want to do what we said, and they obfuscated and tried to change even the rules. and then i don't know what was going on there. but you remember brexit, the embarrassment that it became as the world watched our parliament. so that was brexit means brexit. theresa may would say, oh, that was terrible . say, oh, that was terrible. neil's going back and forth to the eu, capitulated to everything they wanted . yeah. everything they wanted. yeah. >> anyway, back in, in london, nhs patients i don't know if you've heard this nana they've allegedly had their names , dates allegedly had their names, dates of birth and other private information published online by a gang of hackers who targeted a blood testing firm in london hospitals, now a russian group . hospitals, now a russian group. >> killen has claimed responsibility for the attack. they previously threatened to pubush they previously threatened to publish stolen data if they were

not paid £40 million. >> 40 million big ones. well, joining us now is gb news reporter charlie peters. an extraordinary story , charlie. extraordinary story, charlie. £40 million. in order to return this stolen data , how do we know this stolen data, how do we know for sure that it's russian based hackers ? well, the cybersecurity hackers? well, the cybersecurity centre, the national cyber security centre said so on june the 4th. >> and we have to trust our national security institutions when it comes to this analysis . when it comes to this analysis. it also helps that kieran have said that they did it. they've said that they did it. they've said in a statement that it was them. they openly are based in russia and they've carried out several attacks like this in the past, but not typically on on russian political aims. so it's highly unlikely that they're unked highly unlikely that they're linked to the russian government. this is a ransomware profit motivated, cyber attacking group. previously they've targeted serbia's sole electricity supply by a chinese manufacturing giant. that was a key russian allies. they've also hit the australian court system. and this is their second big attack in the uk, because in march , potentially a test for march, potentially a test for this bigger ransomware attack on

the nhs, they also hit the big issue. that magazine was sold by the homeless on the streets. so quite a significant shift towards european targets taking place. and this has been one of the worst cyber attacks in british history . over the worst cyber attacks in british history. over a the worst cyber attacks in british history . over a thousand british history. over a thousand gp or hospital appointments have been cancelled since june the 3rd, when this cyber attack took place and the nature of ransomware is such that you can both deny access to a system which is what has happened here. they've targeted synovus, a third party organisation that provides pathology. it services to several nhs london trusts . to several nhs london trusts. that means getting your blood tests, getting other crucial information approved before appointments. but they can also steal data. and last night it seems they published some 400gb of private information online. it's also, we understand, including some information on the financial arrangements between synovus and the nhs. the nhs say they're taking this very

seriously. and an analysis of the data is underway. as we as we speak , well, look, apart from we speak, well, look, apart from the ransoms of 40 million, which i doubt they're going to get, and they must know that's unlikely. >> governments don't pay out in this way. i don't know if they ever have, but what is the benefit to them? because they've got this data. what are they going to do with it? why is it worth something? how can they monetise it if they don't get their ransom? the 40 million which has any government ever paid for? >> well, we're not sure about western governments . not that western governments. not that we've been they've published about this. but earlier this yean about this. but earlier this year, united health group, a major american health care organisation, reportedly paid over $22 million to react to a ransomware attack and i think what's really crucial about this particular attack is that it's a third party that's being targeted, a weakness in the armour, potentially, of britain's cyber security is that they haven't targeted the nhs directly, which has that overall state control. they've targeted a public private partnership through synovus. so that hasn't got the same sort of authority under it with the state as you

might if they were targeting the nhs directly. why is it so valuable? why can they charge tens of millions of pounds to get it? because this sort of private data is vital for the success of health care operations. when this attack took place on june the 3rd, the next day, the blood test assessments and that process went back to pen and paper. people who are waiting for organ transplants were cancelled. that's a vital service that has to be achieved. and so they know that that there is a very significant price tag attached to that. i mean, we know it's still going on. i mean, just personally, i went to one of these nhs trusts last week for a routine check up, and my consultant said both in person and in writing, they wouldn't be able to do any blood tests well over a week since this attack took place, because of the ongoing cyber security situation . so it's not been fully resolved over a thousand cancellations this is one of the worst cyber attacks the uk has ever faced, and there are serious questions now, not only for the nhs and the national

cyber security centre, but i think really for the government. wider how are they going to get this sorted and how are they going to get nhs operations back up and running well? >> and also how do they protect themselves from future incidents of it as well? because it seems that anyone can hack in and get into things like that. how do you protect yourself? can you even protect yourself from this? i doubt it. >> well, the cyber security centre have got so many training strategies and procedures to deal with it, but this is a sophisticated attack. >> well, charlie peters, thank you very much. thanks, charlie . you very much. thanks, charlie. >> jordan, his story. right up next, we'll tell you how the prince wales is celebrating his 42nd birthday. today. with britain's newsroom on gb news.

us. >> good morning. if you've just tuned in. where have you been ? tuned in. where have you been? i'm just coming up to 10 to 11. >> what are you doing? >> what are you doing? >> yes, i'm nana akua, this is ben. leo. we've got big ben between us. >> look, you're talking about me, then, not you, mate. >> no, no , but i am taller than >> no, no, but i am taller than you today. well, you're always

taller than everybody . yeah. is taller than everybody. yeah. is anyone shorter than you? there isn't. >> i'm just under six. two. are you and i like to. just fyi, i like to be taller than my co—host because i feel not so emasculated. >> well, i can see i look young enough anyway, let alone being shorter than me. >> looks like he's my son. son from another lover, i think. right. happy birthday to prince william. it's his birthday today. >> happy birthday to you, prince william. he celebrates his 42nd birthday today after his trip to germany last night to watch england's play in the euros. >> oh, dismal match. that, wasn't it, though that performance last night wasn't much of a birthday present. sadly, no. >> and on social media, his wife kate, the princess of wales, posted this photo, writing happy birthday papa. we all love you so much. >> well, it's like they're all jumping off a trampoline or something. >> or do you think they're superimposed images above a bush? >> oh no more, no more photo doctoring, please. >> with the. >> with the. >> oh yeah, let's not do that right. let's speak to our royal correspondent, cameron walker. cameron, you are fresh from ascot on ascot? >> yeah. no top hat or tails for me today, i'm afraid. shame all

the viewers will be let down. i know , i'm sorry, but, i mean, it know, i'm sorry, but, i mean, it was a great day yesterday, but not so good for the king and the queen because their horse lost quite spectacularly . gilded quite spectacularly. gilded water. in king george v stakes they won last year in the king george v stakes, so it was a little bit disappointing for anyone who'd who'd bet on the king's horse. but it did have the same jockey and trainer as desert hero did last year, which was the horse that won, but a bit disappointing , but they all bit disappointing, but they all looked incredible, of course. so where did it come? the horse? oh. 12th. i think it was 12th out of 19, so not great. these pictures from tuesday when the king and queen arrived arrived at ascot in the royal procession. the queen was wearing a white outfit yesterday, but it was just an amazing atmosphere because it's just the best of british and lots of people drinking pimms and champagne. >> do you think they enjoy themselves at these events? >> because they have to be quite serious and you know, can't really let themselves go? >> yeah, well. >> yeah, well. >> well, i think they do let themselves go a bit actually, because i think they're i think they're far more relaxed. you see them kind of mingling with the grace and good of british society in front of people. they don't have many palace staff with them. it's kind of a good

day out for them. and then you see them in the royal box and they kind of forget they're being filmed. i think sometimes because they're screaming or whatever horse they want to win and you get these fantastic photographs of members of the royal family. well, there was, there's that famous one of the late queen elizabeth the second, when her horse won that royal ascot, and she's being congratulated by her royal horse trainer. and she looks. i've never seen a picture like it. she looks, you know, just emphatically beaming. her hands are clenched together. she's celebrating. it was a it was a great picture. they're really invested in it. and the royal family, of course, king, queen in particular owned many of the late queen's racehorses. it's quite poignant for them as well. >> that was the late queen. she was in that film where they did a whole documentary about her life, and they filmed her at ascot, and she was overjoyed when her horse was winning and everything. so they're very, very serious about our school . very serious about our school. >> they certainly are very serious. but i think a lot of people were just there for a jolly old good day out. and whether you were wearing top hats and tails and the sorry top hats and tails and the sorry top hats and tails in the royal enclosure, or you were just having a picnic in one of the car parks, it looked like everybody was having a really good time. so it was a great day

yesterday at ascot. but prince william was in germany last night for england's second group game in the euros. that wasn't so good. not so good draw. wasn't it one all, but he was sat to next the king of denmark, so it was a nice little power of soft diplomacy there, keeping the peace. no rivalry between the peace. no rivalry between the two sides. so it was a really lovely image that kensington palace posted online of the king of denmark, prince william. >> it's his birthday today. it is his birthday. >> it certainly is his birthday. another beautiful picture we've got from princess catherine with the three children taken in norfolk last month. there you go. on the sand dunes on the norfolk coast. of the three children and prince william jumping that high, i think they are. i mean, we're jumping onto sand, so it's not going to be too hard a fall, is it? i think it's absolutely a real photograph. >> it's about to jump into that bush. >> i know. well, it's the most important. we're jumping over the bush now though, aren't they?! the bush now though, aren't they? i mean, we'll slide down they? i mean, we'll slide down the sand dunes, but it's the most informal yet brilliant photograph ever photographer. >> then if they're jumping over the bush. >> so the princess would have been like at the bottom of the sand dune, pointing the camera upwards. stop trying to expose the royals. >> no i'm not. just leave them, i love them. >> i think they're amazing. >> i think they're amazing. >> yeah, and i think it just shows the intimate relationships

between william and his three children and a lovely. those norfolk beaches look amazing. they've posted a couple of pictures. one of william and the kids from behind , i think just kids from behind, i think just a few days. that was for father's day. looks green. well, cameron walker will reporter thank you very much. appreciated. right. >> well loads more still to come, including updates on the fifth day of the for search missing teenager jj slater. >> this is britain's newsroom on gb news. annie, how's your . weather? >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather update. another fairly fine day for many of us. sunny spells and still feeling pretty warm in the sunshine , but there is some rain sunshine, but there is some rain on the way for this evening that's going to be moving in from the west. it's as a result of this weather front pushing into parts of northern ireland and the far northwest of scotland later on this afternoon, and ahead of it, cloud will build across much of

wales into the southwest of cornwall and devon to further east, though it should stay fairly dry and bright. east, though it should stay fairly dry and bright . and here fairly dry and bright. and here is where it's going to feel very warm in the june sunshine . once warm in the june sunshine. once again, highs of 24 degrees. quite likely we could see a 25 degrees across some southeastern areas later on this afternoon, but further west, the cloud is building this afternoon, so it will turn quite a bit cloudier with potentially some burst of heavier rain, particularly across western areas of scotland . the northern isles as well starting to see some rain by this evening across the far southeast, though of scotland it will remain likely dry this evening. northeastern england as well, seeing a dry end to the day. a little bit of cloud around hazier sunshine, but still feeling quite warm out still feeling quite warm/mt * ww” but still feeling quite werm'elith but across still feeling qliite werm'elith but across the far there. but across the far southwest , a spell of heavier southwest, a spell of heavier rain will push through in the early evening. now this band of rain pushes eastwards throughout this evening into central and eastern areas. by tomorrow morning and again, we've got a lot of cloud around with this. we won't too see much in the way

of rain. i think it will be fairly light any of that rain, but there is going to be a considerable amount of cloud around across much of england and wales to start the day, so it will be another mild start, but it could just turn a little bit fresher across parts of northern ireland. first thing tomorrow. that's because it's going to be a bright start. we're between weather fronts across northern ireland and much of scotland. first thing tomorrow, but the next weather front will move in later on in the day. but elsewhere, after a cloudier start, it will turn brighter as the day goes on. there's a risk of the odd shower across eastern areas, but for most of us, a dry day with temperatures in the low 20s. see you later on. bye bye . you later on. bye bye. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb

rented an airbnb, and he in fact sent pictures of himself on the doorstep of that airbnb to his mother. and to his friend lucy. we know this was around about 730 in the morning. now i've been up there . the terrain is been up there. the terrain is quite rugged. it's very mountainous. yesterday actually, the weather was, quite windy. it was cold. it was actually drizzling at one point, which hampered the search from the air. the guardia civil, who were up there, told me that they couldn't use a helicopter or use drones because of that visibility, but they are back up there today. the weather is a lot better, it's improved, it's clear and they are hoping to get the helicopter up there to look over a canyon , which is, up, up over a canyon, which is, up, up in the mountains and, which is the last spot where jay's mobile phone was picked up. as you said in the introduction there, there was 1% left on the battery when he called his friend lucy to say he called his friend lucy to say he was lost. he was in the mountains and he was going to try and walk back. but it said to say of 19 miles along a main road, once . well, once you go

road, once. well, once you go off the mountain, you join the main road. but it's certainly a good ten, 11 hour journey, because as i say, he told lucy and his mother he'd missed the bus and he wanted to walk home. but since then, not one single sighting of him and nick. >> you were, of course, in greece recently covering the michael mosley case for the man online. what echoes of that case does this have? and also, have you spoken to jay's family on the island? i understand debbie, his mother, is there. >> yes. that's right. well, in answer to your first question, ben. yes, i was in greece , the ben. yes, i was in greece, the situation, in fact, i was talking about this yesterday with debbie and with the friends who are out there. the terrain is very different, and the in greece it was far more exposed. it was far more remote . it was it was far more remote. it was desolate. there was no shelter at all, and the heat there in greece was unbearable . we're greece was unbearable. we're talking 40 odd degrees, but up here the terrain where he went missing is slightly higher. so it's obviously a lot cooler. and i'd say the weather yesterday it

was cold, it was raining. it was drizzly. so i don't think extreme heat up there is an issue at night though it does get cold up there . it was about get cold up there. it was about a degree or so above freezing. the other the other night, and not much different last night as well. so i think that's the key issue there. maybe the temperature, but also water. he said he didn't have any water. but again this is where it's all very mysterious, very odd. i mean it's not a remote area. there is a road that winds up that mountain to mascot where he went and drops down the other side of the island. it's a busy road. there are it's a viewpoint. it's popular with hikers . it was 850 in the hikers. it was 850 in the morning, so there was traffic up there , so it's difficult to there, so it's difficult to understand where he's. where exactly he's got to. >> yeah. okay >> yeah. okay >> isn't it just, you know, it's not like. sorry nick. thank you very much. that's nick pisa. he's a senior reporter for. no problem. lie—in does seem very odd, doesn't it, that, you know, in such a place where he could no shelter. the weather's not too hot , he was.

too hot, he was. >> he was, of course, in a just shorts and a t shirt that he'd been wearing at that music festival. the i read this morning in the newspapers. apparently, the temperature in the mountainous areas where he was goes as low as 1 degrees at night time . very warm, of night time. very warm, of course, in the daytime. and his mother, debbie, this morning, as nick just mentioned, he said he'd spoken to her yesterday. she was suggesting maybe, that he had come to some deliberate harm. maybe he'd been kidnapped. i mean, there's no proof or of that yet, but that's what his mother is, is fearing. now, at this point . this point. >> okay, well, let's bring in the former head of, lambeth missing persons unit. mike. mark, thank you very much for joining us. it feels like that there are more we're hearing more and more about tourists who go missing in foreign lands. more and more about tourists who go missing in foreign lands . and go missing in foreign lands. and it you know, we've had michael mosley, of course , this young mosley, of course, this young lad now. and why do you think that people tend to sort of go off like that when they're somewhere they don't know? >> well, i think, you know, in this case, you've got a young lad who's been to a nightclub. we don't know what he'd taken in

the nightclub. and he substances had he had a drink , what? what? had he had a drink, what? what? you know, what was he thinking? and sometimes it's just a lack of respect of the of the of the territory, you know, unfamiliar territory. thinking you can cope with the heat and the distance when you obviously can't. and no matter how young and fit you are, and we can see the terrain. it's very rugged . but the other it's very rugged. but the other difference with greece, of course, is there's also almost forest areas there. so could he have sat down for a rest and could you know he's he's let's hope he's still there and very, very dehydrated. but the tragedy is he's been missing for so long now i just can't see that. and i just i really do feel for his mum and is family in missing persons cases in the uk at least where of course you've worked. >> how significant is it when the days go on? i mean every 24 hours the chances just plummet , hours the chances just plummet, don't they? >> the chances just do plummet. i mean most people are going missing, are back within a few hours. and when you look at this you look at firstly, if somebody's gone missing and do they want to be missing, is it

deliberate ? well, this is deliberate? well, this is obviously not the case here because he's made a phone call. he's told people where he is and he's only got 1% of battery left, has he been snatched taken by somebody? is there some criminal element to this? well the facts are in that remote area. i don't imagine there's many bandits wandering around looking to grab any. i just i don't see where that could have come into it. and then the third thing, of course, is he's come to some harm. and i think the police are obviously working on that third theory. and i know they've been criticised, but we can see on the, you know, the police all over the world are hampered by the weather, but they're using drones, they're using helicopters. they've got the fire brigade out also assisting in the search. so i do think the spanish police are making best efforts. i mean, the tourism is the mainstay of the island, so they will not want anything to cloud over that. so i really do think the spanish police are making efforts. and there's been calls for the british police, to to, assist. but i really don't know what the british police could add to it. and you obviously can't just storm over there and start taking over, so i don't know

what else the british police could do . the spanish, police could do. the spanish, police and the park rangers will know the terrain, but it is a very big area . and if somebody is, big area. and if somebody is, you know, sat under a tree into a wooded area, they're not so easily easy to spot . easily easy to spot. >> so in your experience, over this period of time, do you often find people after this kind of. i sadly don't think so. >> i we can only hope in our hearts and for his family that hearts and for his family that he is alive and well. but the fact that you've got no water, no proper clothing in an area which is extremes of temperature, i think we may have a sad conclusion here. hopefully not. >> okay . mike, sorry. do you >> okay. mike, sorry. do you have one more question? >> i just had briefly. what? what's your advice to people? i mean, you know, you deal with missing people all the time , missing people all the time, somebody's out on their own somewhere. what advice would you give ? give? >> well, make sure you phone shards. and that's number one, because you can be found straight away if you've got if you've got a phone, don't go into remote places. i mean , into remote places. i mean, people go to tenerife to go to the clubs, the beaches, the

pubs, the bars, the. and if you go into a place like this, remote area, make sure you go in a group. >> yeah. what a shame . yeah, yeah. >> thanks, mike, former head of the lambeth missing persons unit, mike neville. it's it was this lad's first holiday abroad. he was 18 years old, i remember. i mean, like many people have done very stupid things, not just abroad at home. on your first big night out, when drink gets involved, you know, you have to really feel for him, but fingers crossed we're gonna keep you updated with this story all throughout the day, his family, of course, are on tenerife now. his friends are there looking and hopefully, as nick pisa said, the former sorry, the senior reporter for mad online. today possibly we may get some more news as they search this last place a canyon. >> he described it as well. >> he described it as well. >> let's hope they find him alive, right? still to come, we'll be talking about the nana zone. what's about? with britain's newsroom on

gb news. >> very good morning to you. 1123 britain's newsroom on gb news with me, ben, leo and nana akua. news with me, ben, leo and nana akua . and by the way, if you're akua. and by the way, if you're wondering why we're in slightly different environments, it's because we are in our westminster studio. because paddington, where we normally broadcast this show from, is having a bit of a spring makeover . makeover. >> yes. >> yes. >> they're currently now smashing that breakfast bar into smithereens . smithereens. >> i think andrew pierce has got his, his paintbrush out and the. >> yeah. and the sofas. >> yeah. and the sofas. >> so when bev and andrew are back on monday, you'll have a shiny new paddington studio and it will look even better than me. >> the blowtorch for the sofas. sorry, i was talking about. >> not for your colleagues. >> not for your colleagues. >> no, that's right, the sofas . >> no, that's right, the sofas. right. but of course, today we go to crawley . go to crawley. >> hi, i'm michael decker. i'm in my 60s and i live in beautiful crawley. issues that are important to me this time are important to me this time are uk manufacturing house buying and of course, gaza. since the early 80s i've grown and typically sold companies. i

started out as a thatcher voter. i thought that she was good for the country. the tories were good for the country. after the first gulf war in the 90s, i moved leftwards. the green party obviously has got green in its name. that's attractive, not least because i'm a vegetarian tesla driver. but in all seriousness , they are saying we seriousness, they are saying we will recognise palestine. we will recognise palestine. we will not sell arms to israel. sunak always talks about growth , sunak always talks about growth, but we don't make anything anymore. we make barbourjackets . it's whisky, you know that. that's pretty much about it. we've got to get back to manufacturing , housing. we have manufacturing, housing. we have to have more housing, particularly social housing. most of it was sold off. we need to be building. it's going to be my first vote ever for the green party. yes, it's a protest vote, but i'm voting for them to do well in the next election,

because i think that when people see that people are voting for the green party in this election , next time, they will think, well, actually, maybe they are viable for government? interesting. that's right . interesting. that's right. >> turned socialist. i mean, i never understand how that happens. >> is voting greens now? >> is voting greens now? >> yeah, well, he describes himself as a socialist very bizarre. how can you be a conservative? i've said it lots of times before . i think your of times before. i think your political allegiances is somehow, you know, inherent in your makeup, your education, your makeup, your education, your your upbringing. yeah, necessarily . necessarily. >> it might be that they're doing the thing that you want them to do. so you're going to go with them irrespective of any of that. >> well, i just don't get how you can be a conservative one minute and then a socialist the next. it'sjust minute and then a socialist the next. it's just bizarre. but anyway, well, i think you can, you can, you can be a bit of both. >> but joining us in the studio to discuss all things news broadcaster and journalist dawn neesom and also author and broadcaster amy nicole turner. well, i'm going to start with the bronte sisters being included in the lgbt event because of their apparently androgynous pen names in the telegraph. >> yes, it is. this is our.

they've been included in lgbt events because they used men's name. now they use men's names, not because they were. what's the phrase? i'm looking for here? gender queer? no. there were women who wanted to get their work published, and back in the day, it was so misogynistic. the publishing industry, as well as every other industry, as well as every other industry to do that, you had to use a male pen name, nothing to do with their sexuality. full stop. end of story. do with their sexuality. full stop. end of story . amy. stop. end of story. amy. >> amy. it's been hijacked. >> amy. it's been hijacked. >> what's genderqueer , by the way? >> genderqueer. yes, genderqueer . where you're questioning your genden >> what does that mean? >> what does that mean? >> genderqueer don't come for me. that's my exact definition . me. that's my exact definition. >> i think possibly it's your gender identity, right. >> and there's just making this stuff. >> nothing to suggest that they didn't explore their gender identity. there's nothing definitive , it's there's no definitive, it's there's no explicit answer to whether the bronte sisters explored their gender identity. so maybe that's how they scraped them into the

barrel. >> what do you think about this, though? >> interestingly, last year, lord tennyson was named the historical figure of the year. despite no evidence that he had any homosexual relationships. so they've got previous for this, but i guess they're the argument might be, well, nobody said definitively back then whether they were exploring their gender because it wasn't really the done thing. and there are interpretations in the bronte stories that they did live down to. >> rishi sunak, who's speaking at the welsh conservatives manifesto launch . manifesto launch. >> our country's future is in danger. >> our country's future is in danger . i >> our country's future is in danger. i know you are frustrated with our party, frustrated with our party, frustrated with our party, frustrated with me. but do not let labour waltz into office without scrutinising them, without scrutinising them, without seeing what their policies would mean for our country and your family security. do you really know what you're going to get with labour? a government must make long term decisions , but how can long term decisions, but how can laboun long term decisions, but how can labour, when they've changed their mind or claim to have on

nearly every issue, four years ago, keir starmer ran for labour leader, promising to raise income tax on the top 5% of earners to abolish universal credit to scrap tuition fees, to nationalise the utility companies and to defend free movement. now starmer, now says that he's changed his mind on all these things , but how can all these things, but how can you trust someone who changes their mind on so many fundamental issues? how do you know that if it wasn't politically expedient, he wouldn't just change his mind all over again? now his constant u—turns show two things that he was wrong before, and that he hasn't even the courage of his own past lack of convictions. this is a man who tried to overturn the result of the brexit referendum, who twice urged everyone to make jeremy corbyn prime minister and who ran on a series of pledges to be labour leader that he cynically then abandoned. my friends

because he has such a past. he doesn't deserve to decide your future . now future. now i understand, of course, why people have their doubts about offering us their support again . the last few support again. the last few years have been really tough. covid and the energy price spike caused by the war in ukraine and we have not got everything right. we have made mistakes , right. we have made mistakes, we've not delivered as much as we've not delivered as much as we hoped to, but our economy is now turning a corner . the long, now turning a corner. the long, painful squeeze on your living standards over the past few years is over. real wages have been rising for a year now, almost, and inflation is back to target. when i became prime minister, inflation was in double digits, eating away at your pay packet, your savings . i your pay packet, your savings. i promised to halve it and we have

done that and more bringing it back to 2. and we now have in place what we need for you to feel the benefits of our recovery . low inflation, recovery. low inflation, mortgage rates starting to fall and taxes that are now coming . and taxes that are now coming. down. now that's what you need. but to get that , you need but to get that, you need a conservative government. now laboun conservative government. now labour, in contrast, would put up everyone's taxes, taking the tax burden to the highest level it has ever been. worse than that. they would charge every working family an extra £2,000 in higher council tax and other tax rises. can you afford that? can your neighbours? can your loved ones? i tell you this labour will take more of your money every month, but we conservatives will make sure that you have more money in your pocket every month . they'd also

pocket every month. they'd also bnngin pocket every month. they'd also bring in angela rayner's french style labour laws that would increase strikes, cost jobs and damage our economic recovery and they'd quickly cave in to the demands of the unions, sending inflation and borrowing straight back up. i warn you , don't fall back up. i warn you, don't fall into labour's trap. don't sleepwalk to july the 4th. i know you want to send us a message, but this is not a by—election it will determine who governs our country for the next five years and potentially much longer . next five years and potentially much longer. for if labour get in, they will change the rules. so it's much harder to ever get them out . they want to give 16 them out. they want to give 16 year olds a vote, not because they think on principle that they think on principle that they are adults, but because they are adults, but because they think they'll vote for them. and once they have got power , they will change every power, they will change every rule to make sure that they keep it. we can't let that happen,

friends . and it's only we friends. and it's only we conservatives who can stop it . conservatives who can stop it. now, i understand that people want to make clear to to us me, their frustration. and i want to make clear to to us me, theirfrustration. and i have their frustration. and i have heard you. but once you have handed keir starmer and labour a blank check, you can't get it back in labour's britain. if you work hard and try and set something aside for a rainy day, keir starmer thinks you're ripe for a tax rise. if you have a pension . labour view that not as pension. labour view that not as yours but as something that they can raid whenever they need the money. if you're a homeowner, labour will think nothing of making you spend thousands and thousands of pounds on net zero changes to your home. and as your prime minister, i can tell your prime minister, i can tell you that we live in a world of increasing threats. an axis of authoritarian state, russia, china, iran , north korea are

china, iran, north korea are threatening our values, our interests, our security, and we must show our enemies that this country, with our allies will stand strong. that is why i'm increasing our investment in defence to 2.5% of gdp . because defence to 2.5% of gdp. because now is the time for bold action, not an uncertain keir. keir starmer as prime minister and that increase will allow us to stand up for our interests , stand up for our interests, deter our enemies, defend our values, labour not only are not matching our commitment to raise defence spending, it's worse than that . the woman, keir than that. the woman, keir starmer wants to be deputy prime minister of our country and the man he wants to be foreign secretary, both voted against our nuclear deterrent. the ultimate guarantor of our security. it's clear that it's

only we conservatives with our iron resolve , who you can trust iron resolve, who you can trust to keep britain safe . now there to keep britain safe. now there is a choice before you about britain's future . i know the britain's future. i know the future that i want for our country . i want a britain where country. i want a britain where those who work hard keep more of their own money, where people can send their children to state schools that deliver an education as good as anywhere in the western world, where parents can be confident about what their children are being taught at school . i want a country at school. i want a country where we can all get the medical treatment we need quickly from our brilliant nhs, a country where people are encouraged to start, a business, where we have a culture of enterprise , where a culture of enterprise, where we take advantage of the opportunities of brexit, where a new generation know the pride and security that comes with owning your own home, where parents and families are supported , and where pensioners supported, and where pensioners have dignity and certainty in

old age. i want a country where our borders are secure and immigration is under control. a country where we have the confidence of knowing that we are all on the same side , and a are all on the same side, and a country built on the values of aspiration, opportunity and security . those are my values. security. those are my values. they are this country's values and friends. they are conservative values . i conservative values. i cannot adequately express what my family and i owe this country. my grandmother came here with very little and i stand before you as our prime minister. in no other country would my story be possible. and that is why i will always work as hard as i can for you and everyone in the next five years, if you ask me to continue as your prime minister, i will do everything i can to

deliver for you. i want to make britain stronger , better, more britain stronger, better, more secure. ours is a great country with a proud past and a bright future . it is our duty, our future. it is our duty, our responsibility , to take the bold responsibility, to take the bold action that will give you and your family the secure future that you deserve. that is what we stand for. that is what we are fighting for and together. thatis are fighting for and together. that is exactly what we are going to deliver. >> so rishi sunak talking there . >> so rishi sunak talking there. he said quite a bit there. he, you know, he has delivered low inflation. he talked about mortgage rates coming down, taxes falling. we need the conservatives and that labour will reverse all of that council tax rises in wales. he talked about labour will take more of your money every month . he also your money every month. he also said don't fall into labour's trap. don't sleep. walk into july the 4th, once they've got power , they will change every

power, they will change every rule to make sure they stay there. once you've handed keir starmer the keys, you won't be able to get them back and angela rayner voted against the nuclear deterrent , which is, you know, deterrent, which is, you know, pretty interesting bearing in mind last night sir keir starmer saying that, you know, corbyn, jeremy corbyn would have been a better prime minister than boris johnson. >> we're joined again by dawn neesom and dawn neesom and eamonn keltner. neesom and dawn neesom and eamonn keltner . thoughts on eamonn keltner. thoughts on that, i just can we just have the election now? i am listening, i'm just listening to what everyone's saying and taking everything with a pinch. what was interesting about rishi just now was he didn't mention the nhs in wales, which is an appalling. it's a 40% longer wait than it is in england, in wales you wait 21.8 weeks for a hospital appointment . in wales you wait 21.8 weeks for a hospital appointment. in england it's only 14.9 weeks. look, only i mean , it's not great, by the i mean, it's not great, by the way. it's not great. but the welsh , have had labour in power welsh, have had labour in power since on and off with coalitions here and there since 2000. so they're not covering themselves in glory down in one. so it's interesting that keir didn't mention the nhs, which is one

thing. i would have gone in heavier there. yeah. >> you missed a trick. do you think your thoughts eamonn calocane you heard him speak there, he said, now it's time for bold action. labour are not matching our pledge of defence spending, which is one of the main points, i know. >> but the thing is , i think >> but the thing is, i think when you spend the whole time slating the other side and you don't really have much to say for yourself and everything, you know, that was an actual point . know, that was an actual point. >> that's an actual point he made there, in defence of the conservatives was almost excusing it like, well, we could have done better, but, you know, covid we could have done better. but the war in ukraine, he didn't actually say anything. any vision going forwards. didn't actually say anything. any vision going forwards . and any vision going forwards. and it was just a lot about this is what you'll get with labour and fear mongering about labour, which i always think is a sign of a losing , which i always think is a sign of a losing, losing which i always think is a sign of a losing , losing battle, if of a losing, losing battle, if that's what you have to resort to. but on the on the, on the defence spending, well, we're going to have to spend a bit more because over the last 15 years, defence has been underfunded. we've got the smallest army since the napoleonic wars, we know all that. so they've put the

defence, they've put us in a more vulnerable position . more vulnerable position. >> so defence is to fix an interesting . interesting. >> sorry it never was a vote winner. defence spending was it. it just wouldn't get the votes. but now it seems in the past year of course, probably because of russia's invasion of ukraine. but some interesting comments on your say , tansy, you say it's your say, tansy, you say it's sad. rishi sunak has a great message, but no one's listening to it. what a shame. >> what's the message ? >> what's the message? >> what's the message? >> well, he said that. >> well, he said that. >> i want britain like a lie . >> i want britain like a lie. >> i want britain like a lie. >> no. well he went, he said, i want a britain where those who work hard keep more of their money. >> but he's he's overseeing the highest tax burden in 75 years. well, let's be honest. >> there's been a pandemic. >> there's been a pandemic. >> we've had wars, we've had a pandemic. i mean, that was unprecedented. >> that's the whole we've had two independent think tanks say that neither the conservatives nor labour, that the plans that they have have been fully funded out, they can't work out how they're going to afford it. >> the money has to come from somewhere. and neither the conservatives or labour are going to explain where this money is coming from, steve, you say , rishi, we know why you

say, rishi, we know why you called an early election because you would have looked ridiculous when you couldn't get the planes to rwanda. and in actual fact, he got loads of criticism yesterday online for calling this election at this time because the bank of england, of course, didn't decrease or lower the interest rates, which probably will happen in august. inflation is down to 2. so you would have seen mortgage rates plummeting i guess, between now and the end of the year. why did he call it in july if that is the $64,000 question? >> i'm sick of it. >> i'm sick of it. >> i don't know, i really have got no idea why he called it, because all that's going to happenis because all that's going to happen is that people are arguing is that labour will possibly win based on the polls. >> they'll come in, inflation will fall even further, interest rates on mortgages will fall, energy bills will keep falling and they'll just reap the rewards. >> it doesn't make sense. >> it doesn't make sense. >> it doesn't make sense. >> it really doesn't make sense. >> it really doesn't make sense. >> it really doesn't make sense. >> it makes sense to those guys that put the bets on, though, because they'd get much better odds, get a better payout, wouldn't they? >> well, i mean, for me, that whole betting saga is quite telling. >> you had these, i assume same people who i'm not sure if they've done anything illegal. i don't think they have. but, you

know, allegedly betting on the date of the election. i guess these are the same people who advised him to go out into downing street on that lectern and get soaked in the rain, then go to the titanic quarter for the, for the launching sign. yeah you know, symbolising the conservative party just, you know, sinking into the sea, just gaffe after gaffe after gaffe. all done by, i guess, the same people we're talking about. >> well, when you said, are you looking forward to the euro? >> didn't realise what in it it does make you wonder who is it is. oh my god, so many. does make you wonder who is it is. oh my god, so many . what campaign? >> let's cross over to our political editor christopher hope. political editor christopher hope . christopher so rishi sunak hope. christopher so rishi sunak has spoken again. oh, i'm black. >> oh you're not. >> oh you're not. >> oh you're not. >> oh yes you are. >> oh yes you are. >> but no. sorry, christopher. >> but no. sorry, christopher. >> so richard tice sunak has spoken , what are the what are spoken, what are the what are the what are you hearing about what he said? >> well, it struck me how nana. hi, bannau . it struck me how the hi, bannau. it struck me how the personal nature there of his attacks on keir starmer. i think that's a change in tone from the

campaign. that's clearly the tories are trying to target him personally. they're looking at him last night on that bbc audience. question time on bbc one, when he said he would rather that, sorry. keir starmer said he'd rather that jeremy corbyn was our prime minister, not boris johnson. so setting aside all of johnson's weaknesses, we know about them on a personal level. weaknesses, we know about them on a personal level . but also on a personal level. but also you've got him. he did, of course, take us in. he led the efforts to get behind ukraine against russia in that war. he was very strong on the covid vaccines . but despite all that, vaccines. but despite all that, keir starmer did say eventually he would be a better prime minister corbyn than johnson. look what we got. johnson, a man who made massive promises, didn't keep them , then had to didn't keep them, then had to leave parliament in disgrace. yes, all that's true. but really , jeremy corbyn, the man who wouldn't push a nuclear button or say he would do so to defend this country's safety. so i thought the language there for mr sunak saying don't let the labour party waltz into office. that's very interesting. he's saying there he argued that the labour leader doesn't deserve to

decide your future. here's a man, said rishi sunak, who tried to overturn the result of the brexit referendum, who twice urged everyone, twice urge everyone to make jeremy corbyn pm, who ran on a series of pledges to be labour leader that he abandoned all that is true. so what is clearly going after central office is the character of sir keir starmer, who actually are voters trying to get into number 10, and does he deserve your support ? that's deserve your support? that's clearly the new attack line from conservative central office . conservative central office. >> might it not backfire on them, though , if they're them, though, if they're focusing on personality because he did miss a few tricks, like, for example, he could have pointed out keir starmer , keir pointed out keir starmer, keir starmer or the labour party. sorry, his record in wales with the nhs, but he didn't mention any of that . any of that. >> well, no, the record is poor in wales. i mean that's a that's a bit of they often repeat that and look at the fact that some people in wales have to go to england to use the nhs in england to use the nhs in england for their treatment. so they are they are the tories who

often point out a record of failure there. but yeah, i think they can. clearly they're going after starmer personally. and there is a case to be made that that all he's done really is offer, stability and no change after the chaos of the tory years. and has he actually earned the right to this mega majority that these big mrp polls suggest he's getting? maybe not so clearly there's everything to play for. there's 13 days left now until we all go to the polls. >> and chris, just briefly on the front page of the daily telegraph and i'm sure others this morning is sir keir starmer's comments about jeremy corbyn being potentially a better prime minister than boris johnson. has that cut through ? johnson. has that cut through? how has it been received down in westminster and indeed across the country? >> that's right. as i say, i think that that's the point in which the tories are trying to get on to that. is that really true? and i'll be talking, in fact, to sir keir starmer for gb news today. that interview should go out at 7:00 pm tonight. so i'll be asking him

those questions . you know, do those questions. you know, do you really think that about jeremy corbyn? and really i mean, do you would you have trusted him with our safety and security and not someone like bofis security and not someone like boris johnson, who, despite his weaknesses, didn't did did support defence? >> well, christopher, we shall look forward to that programme later on today, still to come though. has summer finally arrived? there's sunshine across the country today. is it here to ? you're with britain's newsroom on gp news. of course

>> hello. welcome back. it's 1148 on britain's newsroom on gb news. now, today, if you didn't know, is the summer solstice and it seems that the weather has finally realised we're in june too. >> well, maybe for now anyway. but, crowds gathered at stonehenge this morning to celebrate the occasion . we're celebrate the occasion. we're also seeing a slight heat wave across the country with temperatures in some parts

expected to top 24 degrees today. come on, 24 degrees isn't a heat wave. >> well, look, has summer finally arrived? that's the question. and what is the outlook for the coming weeks? well, who best to answer that is alex deakin, meteorologist at the met office. alex, first of all, let me have it out with you.24 all, let me have it out with you. 24 degrees isn't a heat wave, is it? come on. >> no, he's got far in the background. >> it absolutely isn't a heat wave. no one is saying it is, certainly not at the moment. there is a chance we could reach heatwave criteria next week, because it's early next week that it's warming up also correct. john. another thing, the solstice was actually yesterday with 20th, but, but but you know , it is it is but you know, it is it is definitely warming up. >> i always thought the summer solstice was the 21st of june. so you're saying summer solstice is the 20th of june? >> it was this year because there's a leap year. >> so when there's a leap year. see, that's why you got it wrong. >> it is normally the 21st, we could just pretend because people are at stonehenge anyway, so they've got the wrong day . so they've got the wrong day. somebody should tell the people that stonehenge for the first sunrise of it coming up after that, because it was like.

>> like yesterday evening, solstice . solstice. >> okay, alex. so what can we expect this weekend? and of course, in the weeks coming for the rest of the summer, have we got a decent summer on the way? that's the big question. >> wow. summer's a long time, ben. you know, we're talking 2 or 3 months. i'm sure there'll be some pleasant weather on the way, but certainly in the short term, this weekend looks pretty good, temperatures kind of low to maybe mid 20s. there'll be quite a bit of cloud around at times. some rain around tonight, but actually most of the weekend looks decent , dry, fine. some looks decent, dry, fine. some good spells of sunshine. just kind of classic summer weather if you like early next week. so monday and tuesday it is going to get a bit hotter. the first kind of proper bit of heat that we're going to see. 2829 small chance we might even hit 30 celsius on tuesday across the south—east after that, it's likely to change. you know the old saying three fine days and then a thunderstorm. well, we could see some heavy downpours from the middle of next week onwards. so that's something we need to keep an eye on. but certainly the next few days definitely warming up. >> yeah okay. well that sounds a bit good. just very briefly. how

far ahead can you look forward in your forecast? roughly >> well, it depends what you mean. if you're talking about a specific location then you're really talking five six days ahead. if you're talking about the general flavour of the weather across the whole country, then we can go out to kind of ten days, maybe even two weeks, the general patterns to say heat early next week. and then it looks a bit more mixed as we go through and beyond next weekend and into the start of july. >> all right, alex, thank you very much. that's alex deakin. he's a meteorologist with the met office. >> so tuesday get your your hats out. your sunglasses 30 degrees potentially. >> we are just not going to be are going to be there on one of the many commons of london wearing swimming trunks. >> and this is tom and emily by the way on good afternoon britain who are introduced them yet. but they're just as excited as we are about tuesday. but also today is going to be a scorcher on your show. >> a oh , very good. thank you >> a oh, very good. thank you very much. >> i wasn't sure what you were going to say there, yes. it's a lovely day, a fine day to have a good afternoon. britain don't you think? absolutely. we're of course, going to dig into some of what happened last night at this question time, keir starmer

finally admitting that, yes, he actually does think that jeremy corbyn would have been a better prime minister than, boris johnson. it took a while to get there, though, didn't it? it took rather a lot of questions, and he didn't shy away from the fact that he said he thought jeremy corbyn would be a great prime minister. >> so it really does raise some questions about how far this labour party has actually changed. and is this just a surface level reorganisation, or is the change deep at all and does it? >> sorry, sorry to interject. doesit >> sorry, sorry to interject. does it matter though any more? i mean, the polls are, you know, have a massive lead for labour. doesit have a massive lead for labour. does it really matter what labour or keir starmer says or does anymore? >> well, it's going to be informative in terms of how his government operates. i think that's the way that we've got to look at it now. this isn't about who wins the election, this is about what does the labour government actually look like. and i think that really what we need to turn to now , all of us need to turn to now, all of us in this profession, is to start scrutinising what is inevitably the next government, as if they're in power, because we might as well get a two weeks head start. >> well, do you think that he's

getting away with not saying too much at the moment, but now every time he speaks, people are starting to scrutinise. >> do you think that's starting to happen now a bit more? i think it needs to happen more. >> i think he's got away with being quite vague. yes, there have been people accusing him of flip flopping . yes, there have flip flopping. yes, there have been people who've said he needs to come down harder on on policy in one way or another, but he does seem to have been getting away with it. well and i think it is very, very important for journalists and the public when they get the opportunity to actually try and drill down into what exactly is going to happen under a labour government for all of them, actually all of them, we need we need them to stop obfuscating and actually answer the questions. >> that would be nice. that's true when they're faced with the public, the public are sitting there just saying answer the question and then they're under more pressure. >> a really clear example in the labour manifesto, they say everything is costed in the manifesto. but what isn't in the manifesto? for example, a settlement with junior doctors now that's going to cost billions of pounds, billions of pounds that haven't been accounted for. how is that going to be paid for? that's a big question mark. there are so many

examples of these things that will have to be paid for that are on private schools. >> how can somebody not pay it when it's charged to the school? everyone keeps saying, oh, well, the people with special needs, but it's charged to the school. so how can you avoid it anyway? that's coming up in good afternoon britain. so stay and lots more and lots more, first though, here's your weather with annie. thank you so much for joining us today. we're back next week and on monday a brand new studio as well. see you sooi'i. 500“. >> soon. >> see you tomorrow at three. >> see you tomorrow at three. >> looks like things are heating up. >> boxt boilers sperm answers of weather on gb news. >> good morning. welcome to your latest gb news weather update. another fairly fine day for many of us. sunny spells and still feeling pretty warm in the sunshine, but there is some rain on the way for this evening that's going to be moving in from the west. it's as a result of this weather front pushing into parts of northern ireland and the far northwest of scotland later on this afternoon, and ahead of it, cloud will build across much of

wales into the southwest of cornwall and devon to further east, though it should stay fairly dry and bright. and here is where it's going to feel very warm in the june sunshine. once again, highs of 24 degrees quite likely we could see a 25 degrees across some southeastern areas later on this afternoon, but further west, the cloud is building this afternoon, so it will turn quite a bit cloudier with potentially some burst of heavier rain, particularly across western areas of scotland. the northern isles as well starting to see some rain by this evening across the far southeast, though of scotland it will remain likely dry this evening. northeastern england as well, seeing a dry end to the day. a little bit of cloud around hazier sunshine, but still feeling quite warm out there. but across the far southwest , a spell of heavier southwest, a spell of heavier rain will push through in the early evening. now this band of rain pushes eastwards throughout this evening into central and eastern areas. by tomorrow morning and again, we've got a lot of cloud around with this. we won't see too much in the way

of rain. i think it will be fairly light any of that rain, but there is going to be a considerable amount of cloud around across much of england and wales to start the day, so it will be another mild start, but it could just turn a little bit fresher across parts of northern ireland. first thing tomorrow. that's because it's going to be a bright start. we're between weather fronts across northern ireland and much of scotland. first thing tomorrow, but the next weather front will move in later on in the day. but elsewhere, after a cloudier start, it will turn brighter as the day goes on. there's a risk of the odd shower across eastern areas, but for most of us, a dry day with temperatures in the low 20s. see you later on by that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> good afternoon. britain it's

12:00 on friday, the 21st of june. i'm tom harwood , and i'm june. i'm tom harwood, and i'm emily carver under pressure from a studio audience, sir keir starmer admits he would rather jeremy corbyn prime minister than boris johnson and rishi sunak says he's incredibly angry over betting allegations . over betting allegations. >> we'll have the reaction and fears grow as the for search missing teenager jay slater in tenerife enters its fifth day. the 19 year old was on his first houday the 19 year old was on his first holiday without his parents, and the princess of wales has released a touching birthday message for her husband with a new photo of the family leaping in the . in the. air. and we're bringing you a very special good afternoon, britain, right from the heart of westminster. >> yes, you might have noticed our surroundings look a little bit different. and that's because everyone on gb news for
