gary lineker no longer finds sharing his thoughts pleasurable, which is funny because lots of people easurable for a long time. gary, will he be missed? i don't know, so yeah, he thinks that used to be fun on twitter. used to be able to have little chats with people. he's complained about the fact that he used to be able to have little chats with people. he either followed or were blue tick people, but now everyone's got a blue tick, so that doesn't work anymore. so it's like gary complaining about lack of boundaries, which is sort of funny, isn't it? unvetted people coming into his space. >> nice. yeah, it's a very snobby mindset. it's like, who let this riff raff into the vip area? oh, everyone's got a blue tick now. you only talk to blue tick. so it's so snobby and it's also. yeah, the idea it's very unpleasant. now, you used to no longer a pleasurable experience because people tell the truth in their replies. and that used to be censored. and all the people that told the truth were banned from the platform. so you won't like that. and one thing i find particularly distasteful is t

as match of the day celebrates it's 60th birthday, gary lineker relives some of his milestones on theramme. a big part of my life, big part of my life right from the start. i watched as a kid. we'll look ahead to the paralympics too with one of paralympics gb�*s main medal hopefuls but we'll start with cricket and the first test between england and sri lanka and our first glimpse of how england would fair without their captain ben stokes. in his place — it started so well for the new skipper ollie pope as the bowlers tore through the sri lankan top order. the smiles would not last owing to a middle order revival. our correspondentjoe wilson has been watching all day at old trafford and, joe, talk us through a topsy turvy day. and, joe, first day of ollie pope captaining england. you know, they started looking like a team underprepared for a test match and that's because they are, the captain knows it, there was a wednesday where we had about three seasons in one day at old trafford. let's take you through some of the key bits of the action, starting with the wicked of the very experie

and this has happened just as he was looking like likely to replace gary lineker as well in the as theship host that lineker is, and so really bad timing for him. so he's accused of sending inappropriate texts which you think presenters by now would realise not to send inappropriate texts to people. it never works out well, does it? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean, i think i'm against it. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> the bbc. well, i've never received anything from ukraine. i'm very grateful for that. >> but they've not been going through the bbc. >> they've basically i think they've come out and said it's nothing like huw edwards, presumably because it's a colleague and they don't. >> can you imagine having to say that? >> well, they don't employ eight year olds. no, exactly. >> nothing like there are, thankfully no eight year old producers at the bbc. yeah because they would be fodder, yes . i mean, you've got there's yes. i mean, you've got there's not much we can say because we don't know anything. obviously jermaine jenas has come out today. he was live on talk radio i think talksport when he

in fact, he was seen as a natural successor to current host gary lineker.ar presenter . on he was a regular presenter. on the one show and had been since 2020. and it's on that programme that we're hearing these reports that we're hearing these reports that a woman alerted bosses that she'd received unsolicited text communications, flirty texts, the sun is referring to them as unwanted texts from jermaine jenas. an investigation was launched when that was flagged and then he was very, very swiftly sacked by the broadcaster. we're also hearing as well that there have been reportedly more women coming forward as well to raise some kind of concerns. as you said, he was on air. he also does broadcasting work with other broadcasters. talksport. he was doing the drivetime show and they decided to put him on air because they just simply wasn't time to find a replacement for him. then he did an interview with talksport news where he sort of didn't really say anything , sort of didn't really say anything, apart from there's two sides to every story and obviously sai

i've gone for gary lineker to be honest with you. just just because really. really welcome addition. so thank you, thank you thank you thank you. it's headliners are up next. i'm having a great time doing these shows at the moment. i hope you're enjoying watching and listening to you. i'll be back with you tomorrow at 9 pm. for a brighter outlook with boxt solar, sponsors of weather on gb news . news. >> hello. good evening. welcome to your latest gb news, weather update brought to you from the met office. thursday will be a breezy and showery day for northwestern areas elsewhere , northwestern areas elsewhere, though dry and feeling fairly warm in the sun, but it is going to be a fresher day tomorrow compared to today. as as this weather front is expected to clear away to the south and east throughout tonight, taking with it some rain which will affect northeastern areas of england, some eastern areas of scotland through this evening. still a few showers across the north and west, but for many of us it will turn much drier and clearer overnight tonight. so t

gary lineker — who's become a familiar face for households every saturday night — is also celebratingay theme music gary, with match of the day turning 60, we've got some clips to show you. oh, wow, 0k. all right? returning on a regular basis after a gap of four seasons. and we'll be doing our best to be sharp. 0of! your first appearance as a pundit? i know. i didn't do punditry for very long, um, because i wanted des' job! just because they've lost the first game, i'm not going to change my mind. so, yeah, i went in and did a bit of punditry, but i was already doing a bit of presenting on radio and stuff like that. i suppose we've got to show you as well... yeah. ..the first time you presented on the programme. we start, though, with division one champions sunderland... i've certainly changed in appearance. i spotted a grey hair the other day, um, so, yeah. but, um, it was... yeah, it was more nerve—racking then, obviously, because you can't really practice telly? yeah. and i don't really get nervous at all. i didn't as a player, don't as a presenter. but i remember that first show,

jermainejenas had been positioning himself to take over from gary lineker. jermainejenas in the immediate future, and he actually did an interview with talk sport and was asked about this. i’m interview with talk sport and was asked about this.— asked about this. i'm not happy about the situation. _ asked about this. i'm not happy about the situation. i'm - asked about this. i'm not happy about the situation. i'm going l asked about this. i'm not happy| about the situation. i'm going to asked about this. i'm not happy i about the situation. i'm going to be speaking to my lawyers about it, is all i can say right now.— all i can say right now. another scandal for— all i can say right now. another scandal for the _ all i can say right now. another scandal for the bbc _ all i can say right now. another scandal for the bbc involving . scandal for the bbc involving another highly paid male presenter. the bbc has been accused of dragging its heels and not acting quickly enough when complaints have been made about presenters. in this case, they sacked jenas within w

appeared on several shows, most notably much of the date as a pundit, seen as a likely successor to gary linekere've asked him for comment, but we've not received anything yet. moore it's very early days, we don't know how it'll all unfold, but ultimately, it's coming at a difficult time for the bbc, and there'll be questions raised internally about this. it's coming on the back of it we had recently when it comes to what happened with huw edwards and strickler come dancing, and this will be something the bbc will have to look into. there may be more due to come out, how likely is it that the bbc will reveal their findings of this internal investigation? at reveal their findings of this internal investigation? at this sta . e it's internal investigation? at this stage it's very _ internal investigation? at this stage it's very early, - internal investigation? at this stage it's very early, we - internal investigation? at this stage it's very early, we don'tj internal investigation? at this - stage it's very early, we don't know how much would be revealed. of course there will be a public interes

gary lineker quite a tip.ld imagine. well, we've seen how much clout gary lineker holds within the bbc in recent years, haven't we? personally, i don't think he did enough in the game really to justify being the presenter of the match of the day. you look at the match of the day contributors, the main line guys, gary lineker, huge stars and i mean a former captain, obviously former captain, obviously former captain with a record goalscorer for england at one stage, alan shearer as well. he had a stellar career, achieved much more than jermaine but nevertheless, i mean, you need somebody with a bit of personality and the good looks and all the rest of it and he, he's also known had that. >> i mean, but we're talking about him already in the past tense because this, this summarily, summarily, summarily , summarily, summarily, summarily, summarily, summarily, summarily, summarily the bbc sacked him summarily. yes but yeah, this very sudden sacking. yes. and he's accepted. it's almost as though he's accepted it. y

gary lineker has now been presenting for 25 years, while those who grew up with the programme have becomeg of it obviously. yeah it's kind of comes from a bit nowadays. through 60 years, times have changed. stand by vt. but saturday nights still sound the same. joe lynskey, bbc news. a reminder of our top story before we go. england's cricketers have a small lead at the close of play on day two of their opening test at old trafford. england closed on 259—6 with harry brook scoring 56 and jamie smith ending the day unbeaten on 72 — giving england a lead of 23. there's more on all of tonight's stories on the bbc sport website but that's all from sportsday. hello there. it's going to start relatively quiet tonight before things turn a lot more unsettled during the early hours and into friday morning. rain and gales becoming widespread, certainly across england and wales, we could see some disruption, all because of storm lilian which is racing in off the atlantic as we speak. so this area of rain will become widespread across central—southern scotland, northern ireland, northwest england aga

is that because the bbc has let gary lineker run wild, as it were, and not applied the rules to gary other 20,000 people who work at the bbc, then that has meant that when something like this comes along, which is clearly a complicated and sensitive issue, people are going, hang on, maybe the stars are out of control. yeah. >> i mean, sean, do you fear for the long term reputation of the bbc? >> is this going to make my viewers and listeners more angry about paying almost £170 a year, 100%, yes. >> the bbc are having to operate in a in a modern world where people are used to paying for what they want, not what they're given. and i think more and more they'll have to justify the fee and if they if these scandals keep popping up and the bbc management are seen not to deal with them, people will begin to push back. >> most definitely. well, look, coming up, i will deliver the first of tomorrow's front pages hot off the press with full pundh hot off the press with full pundit reaction. plus, harry and meghan give their first joint tv interview since the infamous oprah sit down. >> our ki

we have been speaking to gary lineker. we will be hearing from him shortly.ountry in the test for england against sri lanka today. only four people have done that in the last 15 years. it is a very special honour. that is what he has called it. he comes in for the usual captain, ben stokes. a different phase this time around leading the team against sri lanka in the first of these three tests. it is a new look team as well. now james anderson or ben stokes for these matters, but ollie pope said he never dreamt he would be in this position. it's a massive honour for me to lead the team and captain your country, that's a massive honour in itself. i wouldn't say it's always been something that i've sort of dreamt about as a kid. i think your first thing was trying to get into the team. but i guess you could say, i guess you could say that as well. but yeah, like i said, it's a massive honour and something i don't take lightly, and it is a great opportunity for me. the other big news this morning is that the world number one in men's tennis jannik sinner, failed

. >> gary lineker, you know, gary lineker should have cut his teeth at the bbc and then gone off to a. you should be able to get in to work at the bbc. if you're a local person who doesn't have a university degree and it should be much more decentralised and much more community at the moment, the bbc is very it still feels like an ivory tower that people can't get into with some celebrities at the top, and that is a problem. >> is there any way that the bbc can legislate against somebody like huw edwards? you know they don't have access? >> well, there are already laws against the things that huw edwards did. >> yeah, but i mean, does an employer have any way of knowing that this is the person they employ? >> well, you don't have any way of knowing that you do have the ability to act fast when it happens. and they failed to do that again. and also, if you're earning something wrong, it seems to take forever and a day to correct it. that's a problem with the big, sprawling bbc. >> and i think if you're earning that much money, you should be able to like to have saved on the basis that

des lynam, gary lineker , mark lawrenson, gary lineker, mark lawrenson, alan alan hansen .led with the format too much. it's a rarity in that the ratings have actually gone up over 20 years, rather than gone down 3.8 million per average viewer, and i think it deserves a little bit of a mention. >> i used to love match of the day. des lynam was my man, but unfortunately lineker is now at the helm. >> 25 years of him tonight as well, so it's not going to be, lineker. >> it's going to be taylor swift today. i >> it's going to be taylor swift today.ii >> it's going to be taylor swift today. i i admit i really don't get taylor swift for the music side anyway, but there was a review in the telegraph today saying that, you know, she bnngs saying that, you know, she brings so much love and positivity to young people at a time when, you know, the world is pretty cruddy place at times. so taylor swift is my gp. we've got to be very quick. who's your union jackass nominee very quickly liz truss no sense of humour. >> storming off a stage at the sight of a lettuce. >> i'll leave her al

we have people like gary lineker who have them over a barrel for some reason, have them over a barrelall the rules, keeps getting his salary, keeps saying, well, i could work somewhere else. i think it's been proven that he couldn't work somewhere else for more, but they seem to sort of have some kind of hidden power. the one thing i would say is for huw edwards, i'm not just going to say money doesn't make you happy, but the what he's done it won't make any difference. you know, another £300,000 a year pension. it's appalling as well. >> i don't know , he'll probably >> i don't know, he'll probably be. i mean, knowing our justice be. i mean, knowing ourjustice system, he'd probably be out if he gets ten years, he'll be out in maybe 4 or 5 for good behaviour. and then he's got all this money 300 k m. that's not just a couple of quid. 300. yes. >> he has to live with what he's done. and i you know, i think about that, all of these things, the thing that really annoys me is just a member of the public is just a member of the public is the fact that the bbc allowed this man to resign. >>

it's not as much as gary lineker, but it's a lot more than most people who are shaken down.nce fee . even after hugh was licence fee. even after hugh was suspended, the bbc continued to pay suspended, the bbc continued to pay him a total of £200,000. now hugh was paid about £640,000 for the 16 month period in which he has admitted to crimes, with the tv licence, bringing in revenues of £5 billion over that 16 months. if my maths works out, that means you've personally paid £0.03 to an active paedophile if you're paying your tv licence, of course, now , were tv licence, of course, now, were you surprised to see huw edwards bailed? he was. he was bailed. so he can you know, if he's i'm not saying he you know, he he's got anything lying around. but you think you know somebody like that who's got suspicious, material on on devices you'd want, want him to go straight to jail rather than be able to go and dig holes and bury hard drives. >> i mean, you would hope that they've already done their due diligence, and they've got everything that they need. and then you would also hope t

. >> but he was seen as the natural successor wasn't he, to gary lineker.ssumed yeah i assumed that was the way it was going to go because which would have been massive money. >> absolutely. and whether it's about the money or the prestige, but it's the ultimate job in football. he he although he hosts tv shows and he hosts the one show, he still does co—commentary with station, with tnt. and also when it comes to match of the day and then he's the expert and there's even there's even quotes where he'd been on tv and he'd said, you know, i would read the autocue before gary came in, because not just to think that i want the job because i want to see what it feels like. and he would do the whole thing. and i think he would have been the ultimate successor. and even gary lineker had mentioned the fact that he would be the perfect successor . would be the perfect successor. but, you know, that's blown out of the water now. that's not going to happen. >> yeah. oh, well, we might get more details. they're going to have to they're going to have to tell us more. >

the world's most famous football show had 33 million viewers last season and host gary lineker is markinggot some clips to show you. 0k. all right? ..regular basis after a gap of four seasons. and we'll be doing our best to be sharp and tight at the back. your first appearance as a pundit. i know i didn't do punditry for very long, because i wanted des'sjob. just because they've lost the first game, i'm not going to change my mind. so, yeah, i went in and did a bit of punditry, but i was already doing a bit of presenting on radio and stuff like that. i suppose we've got to show you as well... yeah. ..the first time you presented on the programme. we start though, with division one champions sunderland, who visited... i've certainly changed in appearance. i spotted a grey hair the other day. yeah, it was more nerve—racking then, obviously, because you can't really practise telly. yeah. and i don't really get nervous at all. um, didn't as a player, don't as a presenter. but i remember that first show, there were a few butterflies. 25 years you've been presenting the show. you've been involv

he had previously been endorsed by gary lineker. commentator and presenter over as his natural successor on that programme. this week marks that show's 60th anniversary and jermaine jenas had admitted it was a dream of his to present. the show is this another crisis about the personal behaviour of bbc presenters? joining me now to discuss this is former bbc home affairs correspondent danny shaw. danny, welcome to gb views tonight. why is it the bbc have tonight. why is it the bbc have to have these problems every so often ? often? >> well, it's very unfortunate that the bbc does seem to have had a string of problems in the last few months from strictly come dancing allegations to the huw edwards, criminal charges which resulted in his conviction. and now the allegations against jermaine jenas, which have resulted in him being sacked from the bbc. it's very unfortunate. i think in any large corporation or organisation where you've got 20,000 employees, you're going to get issues from time to time. but the fact that you've got three s

government can pass laws saying, you know, these middle class people have got very large houses like gary linekernd all the rest of it. they have they can commandeer spare rooms in their houses and house the migrants, and people can live with the consequences of their opinions. and, you know, lily allen will will love having 12 and you saw that. >> and there was a very funny interview set of interviews in norway where it was exactly that, and it was going out into the street in norway, very liberal country, and they were saying, okay, would you, would you take someone into your do you take someone into your do you think they'd be like, yes. what do you think of immigration? good, good, good. and then the guy just brings over and says, well, look here we have immigrant here. would you take him home? we need some space. and they're like, oh, no, this week is really bad. i've got a big yeah, it's of course , got a big yeah, it's of course, until people are dealing with the ramifications themselves in terms of higher rent and cultural clashes and whatnot, yes. of course there it's an easy thing to fe

jermaine jenas had really been positioning himself to take over from gary lineker on that programme. salford has been removed. talksport, another employer, have said they have no plans to work with jermaine jenas plans to work withjermainejenas in the immediate future. jermainejenas the immediate future. jermaine jenas has actually done the immediate future. jermainejenas has actually done an interview the immediate future. jermaine jenas has actually done an interview with talksport and was asked about those allegations. i’m talksport and was asked about those alleuations. �* ., ., , _ talksport and was asked about those alleuations. �* ., . , _ ., allegations. i'm not happy about this situation. _ allegations. i'm not happy about this situation. you _ allegations. i'm not happy about this situation. you know, - allegations. i'm not happy about this situation. you know, i'm - allegations. i'm not happy about i this situation. you know, i'm going to he _ this situation. you know, i'm going to be speaking to my lawyers about it, is to be speaking to my lawyers about it. is att— to be

it is understood jermaine jenas saw himself as a likely successor to gary lineker on match of the dayas also lost his very lucrative job on the the one show. this is another scandal for the bbc, one doesn't want or need, another highly paid male tv star embroiled in this. what the bbc would say is that this is very different, they have acted quickly. they have been criticised in the past for dragging its feet on issues such as hugh edwards. but with jermainejenas, within weeks of the complaint being made, he was sacked by the bbc. jermainejenas saying by the bbc. jermaine jenas saying there are two by the bbc. jermainejenas saying there are two sides to by the bbc. jermaine jenas saying there are two sides to every story and he is consulting with his lawyers. thank you. the funeral of seven—year—old elsie dot stancombe — who was killed in the southport knife attack — is being held this morning. her family have asked for the service to be called elsie's special day, and encouraged mourners to wear bright colours. funerals have already taken place for six—year—old bebe king and nine—yea

it's 25 years of gary lineker as well because he famously took over from des lynam.ust then as i said, not without its controversies throughout the years. but think of the names. it's spawned as well, just from a commentary point of view. the actual match commentary. john motson, barry davis, you think of the presenters, not just lineker, but also des lynam, des lynam. before. before that, jemmy hill was on it. jemmy hill actually came up with the idea. jemmy hill, jemmy hill, hill came up. theidea hill, jemmy hill, hill came up. the idea of the panel that we know today. so the idea of presenting not just a presenter. if you look at the early match of the days, it was a presenter staring down the barrel, just talking into the matches, talking into the matches, talking into the coverage. jemmy hill came up in the early 70s not for the match of the day, but for the coverage of the world cup in 1970 of a presenter with two guests, like what we're doing here now and it's very bad idea referring , very expensive. idea referring, very expensive. i refer, you know, just get

he's also a presenter on match of the day was seen by many as the successor to gary lineker, had a massive ahead of him. the mirror have taken the blunt approach to this sacked with a massive picture of jermaine jenas. they say that they've axed him because of inappropriate behaviour. jermaine jenas shock is what they say, so i'm going to reintroduce my wonderful panel to the fray now. and since we came on air, i believe that jermaine jenas has actually been speaking a little bit about this. he was actually, as it turned out, live on another radio show, whilst the news of him , being sacked broke. here is him, being sacked broke. here is what he had to say whilst presenting on talksport earlier , presenting on talksport earlier, it's being reported that you sent unsolicited texts to a female member of staff at the one show. >> is that true? >> is that true? >> there's like i said, i'm not happy about this situation. you know, i'm going to be speaking to my lawyers about it is all i can say right now. i'm not happy at all about the outcome of this, but, i've got to leave it in the hands of

through the 2000, hugh grant and his character, but given that hugh grant has become, the wokeist gary linekerry, is he a heartthrob anymore? i don't think he has. i don't fancy him now. he's probably pleased. i don't fancy him , actually. him, actually. >> but hasn't he moved away from those sorts of roles at the moment? >> he had a twitter spat with. oh, i think we've got it. >> oh, go on. >> oh, go on. >> oh, he swears he does swear and i've pulled him up on this. >> yes, i've pulled him. >> yes, i've pulled him. >> destroy the freedoms my grandfather fought two world wars to defend. blimey, what a great example to set to your children. >> well, he's talking about self—pleasuring the m word and is a father. and so i pulled him up on that. but then he chopped shrimp. me. he top trimmed me. >> and congratulations on your new appointment. you seem great. >> that was after my yellow dress moment. oh, yes. >> yes, that is everything you need to know about hugh grant. he's a total narcissist. has been from day one. the thing is, when you're good looking and young, you can get away with being a na

we have people like gary lineker who have them over a barrel for some reason, have them over a barrelting his salary, keeps saying, well, i could work somewhere else. i think it's been proven that he couldn't work somewhere else for more, but they seem to sort of have some kind of hidden power. the one thing i would say is for huw edwards, i'm not just going to say money doesn't make you happy, but the what he's done it won't make any difference. you know, another £300,000 a year pension. it's appalling as well. >> i don't know , he'll probably >> i don't know, he'll probably be. i mean, knowing our justice be. i mean, knowing ourjustice system, he'd probably be out if he gets ten years, he'll be out in maybe 4 or 5 for good behaviour. and then he's got all this money 300 k m. that's not just a couple of quid. 300. yes. >> he has to live with what he's done. and i you know, i think about that, all of these things, the thing that really annoys me is just a member of the public is just a member of the public is the fact that the bbc allowed this man to resign. >> they didn't sack him. t
