ITV Good Morning Britain host concerned for co-star as loud bangs heard live on air
A live report on ITV GMB on Monday morning caused concern when loud bangs were heard.
Good Morning Britain presenter Ranvir Sing had to reassure viewers tuning in to Monday morning's ITV breakfast programme. Ranvir was in the studio with her co-hosts Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid, delivering the latest global news headlines when loud bangs were heard in the background.
The hosts went to Los Angeles via videolink where protests have reignited, with demonstrators opposing immigration raids clashing with law enforcement for a third day, writes the Mirror.
Protesters congregating in downtown LA were told by police to disperse immediately, following earlier demonstrations that blocked a major city road.
National Guard units, deployed by President Donald Trump, resorted to tear gas to disperse the protesters.
The North America Correspondent for ITV, Noel Phillips, reported live from LA, with loud bangs audible in the background during his segment.
Speaking to the camera, Noel said: "As you can see police are now trying to get these protestors off the streets, Ranvir. We're going to try and bring you more a little later on."
Producers then told Ranvir to clarify the alarming sounds with Noel during the segment on the programme.
Discussing the unfolding situation, Ranvir clarified: "And just to be clear, my producer was telling me that was fireworks because of course there's several cameras there. Just wanted to make that clear because for you because obviously alarming to hear that kind of sound."
The loud bangs were quite worrying, which then prompted concern from another presenter.
Later, Susanna checked in with Noel, asking if he was alright as the programme crossed back over to America for the latest updates.
Noel confirmed he was unharmed before delivering an in-depth update on the unfolding situation. He then spoke with locals for his segment, while Richard and Susanna from the studio reminded him to "stay safe" as his report concluded.
Elsewhere in the show, host Richard disclosed that he had suffered a double wrist fracture in France over the weekend.
"That looks sore," remarked his colleague Susanna, observing the cast on Richard's wrist.
Richard recounted the incident, he said: "Yeah, it's a double fracture of the wrist. I was walking quite quickly down a steep pavement in France, actually, on Friday,".
He continued, detailing the accident: "The pavement was loose and it flipped up and it flipped me forward, and I thought, 'Am I gonna win or is gravity gonna win?' And gravity won, and I hit the ground hard. So yeah, I've got a double fracture and we'll see how it goes."
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV1 and ITVX at 6am.

Harvey Weinstein guilty of sexual assault in landmark retrial
Harvey Weinstein now faces fresh prison time after jurors found he forced a woman into a sex act in 2006. Disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein has been convicted of one count of sexual assault in his sex crimes retrial. The 73-year-old was acquitted of another, and jurors were as yet unable to reach a verdict on a third charge, reports the Mirror. Weinstein, who denies ever raping or assaulting anyone, sat emotionless in court as the split verdict was delivered. It marks a partial victory for both prosecutors and his defence, as the case continues to divide public opinion He denies sexually assaulting or raping anyone. His initial conviction came five years ago after the landmark #MeToo Movement. However, last year it was overturned. The case went back for a retrial in the same Manhattan courthouse. Now, the jury convicted the former studio boss of forcibly subjecting one to a criminal sex act in 2006. They also acquitted Weinstein of another criminal sex act charge from 2006. The jury remains in deadlock over claims he raped another woman in 2013. Under New York law, the third-degree rape charge carries a less severe penalty than the first-degree criminal sex act offence.

Jurors – seven women and five men – are now in their fifth day of deliberations and earlier today re-heard dramatic testimony from Jessica Mann, who says Weinstein raped her in a hotel room in 2013. She has waived her right to anonymity. Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to raping Mann and to forcing oral sex on two other women, Mimi Haley and Kaja Sokolo. He insists that he never sexually assaulted or raped anyone. His legal team claims the women were ambitious opportunists trying to boost their careers in the movie business. Mann told the court her relationship with Weinstein started consensually but turned abusive. Despite this, it continued for some time. Weinstein was convicted in 2020 of raping her and assaulting Haley, but that conviction was overturned last year due to concerns over how the jury was influenced. Sokola added her accusation last year after New York state's highest court overturned the 2020 conviction and sent the case back for retrial. Weinstein is also appealing a 2022 rape conviction in Los Angeles. All three women in the case have waived their right to anonymity. Weinstein is facing a retrial after New York's highest court overturned his 2020 conviction last year, ruling that prejudicial testimony had unfairly influenced the original outcome. He will be retried on two of the original charges; raping an aspiring actor in a Manhattan hotel in 2013, and forcing oral sex on a production assistant in 2006. A third, unnamed woman also came forward in this retrial with fresh claims. Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to all charges. He is currently being held at Rikers Island, where his lawyers say he's endured shocking conditions. They've filed a $5 million lawsuit against New York City, claiming "substandard medical care" and unsanitary conditions.

Married teacher had sex with pupil in school cupboard at top private school
Philip Culling's actions were said to be an 'open secret' and he was allowed to quietly resign after having an affair with a student. A shamed deputy headteacher who performed a sex act in a cupboard with a pupil at a top private school for girls has been banned from teaching for life. Former child protection officer and father of three Philip Culling targeted the 'vulnerable' pupil at the Godolphin and Latymer School in west London. The 53-year-old director of music at the school groomed the girl, taking her out to a pub for his birthday and buying her flowers, reports the Mirror. They had oral sex in a cupboard and once kissed in a school lift. The actions of the married man - who was supposed to be responsible for safeguarding children at the school - were said to be an 'open secret' and he was allowed to quietly resign in 2014 following an investigation into his conduct. Two years later, the school informed the police of their findings, he was able to take up another job in education. A whistleblower reported his actions eight years after his resignation and he was reffered to the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA). A subsequent tribunal heard the teacher and the pupil, known as Person B to preserve her anonymity, had begun exchanging emails in 2010, many of which he made her delete. Culling also obtained Peron B's personal phone number using school regards and began to text her. A Valentine's card was also presented to the panel signed 'Phil', which was addressed to "by far the most gorgeous and wonderful person in the entire world". Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

By 2012, the teacher was professing his love to Person B, and a year later, they had kissed for the first time. "From then on, they would kiss when they met up," the panel heard, including on one occasion in the school's lift. Person B told the panel she had (performed a sex act with the teacher) in a cupboard in his office early in the morning on several occasions. Culling referred to the girl as the 'LOML', short for Love Of My Life. He also made her CDs and sent her flowers to wish her good luck for her A-level exams. On the night of her school leavers' party, he secretly met up with Person B in a public park where he took her virginity, the panel heard. The pupil revealed that over the summer when no one was home, the teacher visited her house once a week to have sex wit her. After she moved into a flat with someone else "a lot of sexual acts including touching and oral sex happened in very public areas", the tribunal heard. Panel chair Jo Palmer-Tweed said the teacher had taken advantage "of the position of trust he was in towards a vulnerable child for his own gratification", adding: "Mr Culling exploited his position to advance a sexual relationship with a vulnerable pupil, and his misconduct was of the utmost seriousness." Person B, she said, had felt 'shame' as a result of the relationship which "tainted her memories of her school experience". Famous alumni at the £33,000-a-year school include celebrity chef Nigella Lawson and Hollywood actress Kate Beckinsale. In 2014, Culling asked the girl to lie about their relationship, the girl told the tribunal, amid fears he would lose his job. He went on to urge her "not to engage" with the investigation in 2023. A spokesperson for the school said: "The TRA's report reveals a shocking and deeply disturbing pattern of past behaviour which we unequivocally condemn. We fully support the TRA's decision to bar Philip Culling from working in the teaching profession ever again. "He left Godolphin and Latymer 11 years ago after a comprehensive governor-led investigation into his conduct. The Hammersmith and Fulham LADO was fully aware and supported the school's actions at the time, and the police were also informed. "Information and evidence not previously available to the school have now come to light through the TRA process and we are reviewing this. Above all, we are devastated to learn that a former pupil suffered in this way."

Robert Jenrick as Judge Dredd
Photo byKeir Starmer is unpopular. So Neal Lawson, chief of the Compass think tank, was on to something when he declared, 'We've had New Labour and Blue Labour – it's now time for Lou Labour,' at a jamboree in the Ministry of Sound nightclub. Some of the party's MPs regard Louise Haigh – ousted as transport secretary by Morgan McSweeney last November – as a dark horse for the crown should the PM fall. Aside from soft-left credentials, she has a safe seat (Sheffield Heeley, majority 15,304), whereas other possible contenders Wes Streeting (528), Angela Rayner (6,791) and Bridget Phillipson (7,168) cannot be so confident of staying in the game. Quick – can you name the shadow health secretary? What about shadow transport? No one expects them to be household names outside the Westminster bubble when even the actual cabinet enjoys limited name recognition. But something is wrong if many Conservative MPs, ex-MPs and strategists struggle to recall who represents their party. Quizzing Tory insiders on their front bench is a Westminster party trick, and an insight into the invisibility of Kemi Badenoch's team. Can anyone get the full set? One shad cab member far from invisible is Robert Jenrick. The shadow justice secretary's viral videos savaging Richard Hermer and playing Judge Dredd on London's Tube are glimpses of what a dynamic opposition could look like. Jenrick is widely viewed as manoeuvring against his plodding leader, but Badenoch is putting on a brave face. Her reaction to his antics can be summed up as 'a rising tide lifts all boats'. In other words, she's happy to have someone else do the work for her. Or too weak to keep him in line. Rhondda rhymer Chris Bryant seemingly has a quote for all occasions. The minister peppers performances with high-brow literary references yet went poppy on Good Morning Britain during a discussion about AI. 'In the words of Lady Whistledown in Bridgerton, 'I do not fear change, I embrace change,'' he announced. Hmm… Lady W is the gossipy pseudonym of secret scandal-spreader Penelope Bridgerton and therefore not the best example to promote accuracy, integrity and authority. There was a Freudian slip from Jeremy Hunt, who ran for Con leader in 2019 and 2022. He told the New Statesman podcast: 'I don't think I'll be leader. I mean, I've tried three times and failed three times, and I think there's got to be a message in there somewhere.' Three? Did he secretly take soundings in October 2022, before Rishi Sunak was foisted unopposed as Liz Truss's successor, or in 2024 after the election bloodbath? Or is the chronic hopeful always fighting a leadership contest in his head? (The Spectator's alternative magazine cover had he beaten Johnson in 2019 – 'Hunt wins' – is framed above his desk.) Or perhaps the one-time chancellor always struggled with numbers. Zarah Sultana spent her weekend batting away a Mail on Sunday smear about the fiery independent MP and her hubby, a Fire Brigades Union (FBU) senior policy officer. The right-wing tab claimed Sultana failed to declare a conflict of interest before speaking in the Commons about key FBU demands. Sultana released a rebuttal but may have had to pull off the riposte operation alone. Rumours swirl she's sacked her staff. What next: Sultana hiring her husband? The Hertfordshire Labour MP Chris Hinchliff – de facto leader of what the Labour Growth Group dismisses as a 'vegetable lobby' and who drafted 14 amendments to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill – is in a flap. Low turnout for a quiz has left his office window shrouded in unclaimed Duolingo owl prizes. He's tried without joy to offer them to colleagues and visitors. What a hoot. Subscribe to The New Statesman today from only £8.99 per month Subscribe Reform leader Nigel Farage's son, Sam, is a British migrant working in Hong Kong. Deputy Richard Tice's partner, Isabel Oakeshott, is a migrant in Dubai. 'For a hard-right, anti-migrant party,' growled a Tory snout, 'that's a lot of 'do as I say, not what my family's doing'.' Tice is particularly touchy on the issue, turning on a journalist who asked him about the contradiction. Inconsistency is their consistency. Johnson fanboys and girls still dreaming of yanking Cincinnatus back from his plough to rescue the Tories evidently don't include the second Mrs J, Marina Wheeler. In a note to neighbours apologising should a wedding bash for one of their daughters prove noisy, the lawyer quipped: 'Luckily I don't expect her to get married again, or at least not for a while.' Unlike Wheeler's wandering ex who was spliced thrice before the ink was dry on divorce papers. Parliament's wage-slaves are upset, specifically the caterers who feed and water the medium-sized town. One chef complained they'll lose £300 a month from binning a loyalty payment to stop them defecting to higher-paid jobs in London's better restaurants and hotels. 'It's a privilege to serve parliament,' said the seasoned cook, 'but this is an invitation for skilled, devoted staff to leave.' MPs and peers should beware what flavours the soup.
