ITV Good Morning Britain host concerned for co-star as loud bangs heard live on air
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.

Shannon Matthews' mum Karen assaulted in prison as pal shares shocking details about jail stint
Karen Matthews friend Julie Bushby opened up on This Morning about her friend's eight years in prison following her conviction of kidnapping her daughter Shannon in 2008 A friend of Shannon Matthews' mum Karen has disclosed that she would make prison visits during her eight-year stretch for orchestrating her daughter's kidnapping. Nine-year-old Shannon vanished on February 19, 2008 in West Yorkshire, triggering a massive police hunt and community search that lasted nearly a month. Shannon was discovered safe and sound at a property owned by Michael Donovan - the uncle of her mother Karen's partner Craig Meehan. It subsequently emerged that Karen had plotted the abduction with Meehan to cash in on the media attention. Karen's pal Julie Bushby featured on This Morning (Tuesday) ahead of Prime Video's new documentary The Hunt for Shannon Matthews, reports the Mirror. Discussing the prison visits, Bushby revealed that Karen would occasionally be "black and blue" during her jail stays. Speaking on This Morning, she told Andi Peters and Emma Willis: "There was a time I went that she was black and blue but she walked into that many doors. "It was a different story each time I went. She just tells me she was scared of family." She added: "I had so many questions. I used to go visit her at prison. I asked her the same questions." When questioned about her feelings when Karen was nicked for kidnapping Shannon, Bushby said: "When she actually came out with it, it was mixed emotions. "Relief that it was over, anger, disappointment, used and abused - but not just me, the entire community. She just made us look like plant pots." Matthews was freed from jail in April 2012 after completing half her term. This follows reports that her paedophile former partner has been 'forced to flee again as his home is vandalised'. Karen is set to feature in Amazon Prime Video's forthcoming documentary The Hunt for Shannon Matthews. Last year, a musical parody about the shocking abduction of Shannon Matthews was branded "cruel and sadistic" by the public. Performances by troupe K*** and the Gang were completely sold out when Shannon Matthews: The Musical premiered in 2022, with the group planning a film adaptation of the production. Local Labour councillor Mussarat Pervaiz condemned the show for trivialising the girl's ordeal, describing it as "disgusting". Prime Video will re-examine the case in its upcoming documentary which forms part of a large series of true crime investigations airing on the streaming service this year. A TV insider previously told The Sun: 'The original case dumbfounded the nation when it happened and it took years before many could truly grasp what had happened. 'Shows like 2017 ITV drama The Moorside, which starred Sheridan Smith, tried to shed some light on the events but it continues to be a subject that stirs up an array of emotions. 'The creators of the new documentary hope that the passing of time and the benefit of distance might help lend some perspective on the story.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

BBC Breakfast interview with Nicola Sturgeon sparks backlash from viewers
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info BBC Breakfast faced a barrage of complaints as furious viewers "turned off" on Tuesday (August 12). During this morning's episode of the popular breakfast programme, presenters Jon Kay and Sarah Campbell updated audiences with the latest headlines from across the UK and beyond. John Watson was also present in the studio to provide the sports summary, whilst Carol Kirkwood delivered regular weather updates live from a sunflower field in Milton Keynes. Ahead of launching her new autobiography, Frankly, Jon and Sarah welcomed former First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon into the studio. During the interview, Nicola reflected on the day of her arrest in 2023, as well as her sexuality, miscarriage, and previous approach to legislation, reports the Express, reports the Mirror. "I've become used to my life, over the years, being talked about in great detail. I don't complain about that, I put myself into the public eye. But I wanted at this stage of my life to tell my story in my words," she revealed. "The remarkable experiences I've had in politics and the ups and downs of a life in politics. So, inevitably, some of the challenges and the low points of being covered, because I've tried to speak really candidly about them. "But the book's also really, really full of all the really positive, extraordinary experiences I've had over 30 years, and actually, 30 years of the most remarkable period in modern Scottish and, to some extent, UK political history." Nicola Sturgeon has been reflecting on her political journey, saying: "So, it's been a lot of fun reminiscing about all of that, writing all of that, and remembering it all." The 55 year old former SNP leader also touched on her unsuccessful bid for Scottish independence and the state of trans rights in Scotland. However, not everyone was thrilled with the BBC interview. Many viewers took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to express their dissatisfaction with the half-hour segment. One disgruntled viewer switched off, posting: "Just turned #BBCBreakfast off. Why are they giving more airtime to Sturgeon?" Another chimed in with: "This interview with Sturgeon is a waste of time #BBCBreakfast. Apart from the break for the 'local' news, we've had 30 mins of in studio interviews... No news?". A third viewer had had enough, commenting: "Seriously, that's enough now," while another similarly expressed: "Fifteen minutes of Nicola Sturgeon, and counting, equals *very* slow news day." Another fan echoed these sentiments, remarking: "A huge #bbcbreakfast plug for Nicola Sturgeon's new book. A full 10-minute commercial for her, and to plug her book tour."

The Queen asked for 'gossip' about Alex Salmond harassment allegations, claims Nicola Sturgeon
The former first minister said Queen Elizabeth II immediately asked for details about Salmond when the women met at Balmoral Castle just weeks after the allegations became public. The late Queen asked for "gossip" about the sexual assault allegations against Alex Salmond, Nicola Sturgeon has claimed. The former first minister said Queen Elizabeth II immediately asked for details about Salmond when the women met at Balmoral Castle just weeks after the allegations became public. Sturgeon wrote in her memoir - called Frankly - that the Queen "loved a bit of gossip". She said: "She asked me about it almost as soon as I sat down. She wanted to know more of what was going on. "I think she was also trying to put me at ease... She also loved a bit of gossip. She always wanted to hear the stories behind the political headlines." Sturgeon described herself as a republican "at heart and by instinct". But she was full of praise for the later Queen, calling her "utterly fascinating" and "an incredible woman". The ex-SNP leader said she was "struck by the aura" which the Queen "exuded as she entered the room". The pair regularly met at Balmoral Castle - the royal family's Highland home in Aberdeenshire. Sturgeon wrote: "She was always relaxed and chatty, and these sessions would typically last for around an hour." Sturgeon's 470-page book is officially released on Thursday, although it has already gone on sale in Waterstones branches in Scotland. Sturgeon is set to talk about the memoir at the Edinburgh Book Festival on Thursday. It follows a sit-down interview with ITV which broadcasted on Monday evening. Sturgeon's meeting with the Queen in September 2018 followed claims about Salmond. He was accused of asking a female staff member into his bedroom at Bute House before making sexual advances when he was First Minister in December 2013. In January 2019, Mr Salmond was charged with 14 offences, including attempted rape and sexual assault, but he was awarded compensation of £500,000 by the Scottish Government in August 2019 and later acquitted of all charges after trial in March 2020. Salmond died aged 69 in North Macedonia last year. Sturgeon had served as his deputy for a decade, seven of those as deputy first minister. This was before she took over as first minister in 2014. She served for nearly nine years.
