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

Daily Recorda day ago

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.

UK sanctions two Israeli ministers over 'monstrous' Gaza comments

The UK has sanctioned two Israeli government ministers, according to reports. Security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and finance minister Bezalel Smotrich, who serve in Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition government, will both face a travel ban and see their assets frozen. The move comes as the UK and other Western nations seek to ramp up pressure on Israel's government amid the ongoing war in Gaza. Mr Smotrich and Mr Ben-Gvir both belong to right-wing parties which help to prop up Mr Netanyahu's fragile coalition government. Both have been criticised for their hardline stance on the war in Gaza. Mr Smotrich has campaigned against allowing aid into Gaza, while Mr Ben-Gvir has called for Gaza's people to be resettled from the territory. Foreign Secretary David Lammy last month fiercely criticised Mr Smotrich, after he had said Israel's army would wipe out what is left of Gaza. 'No more raids and going in and out, but conquering, cleansing and remaining until Hamas is destroyed,' Mr Smotrich said. 'We are destroying what is still left of the Strip.' Mr Lammy told MPs: 'We must call this what it is. It is extremism. It is dangerous. It is repellent. It is monstrous and I condemn it in the strongest possible terms.' Earlier today, Keir Starmer told Sky News the situation in Gaza "is intolerable and it's getting worse". The Prime Minister said: "I think anybody looking at what's going on in Gaza, would be shocked, and that's why we do need to get back to a ceasefire, urgently. "It's why we need to get the remaining hostages out, they've been there a very long time. And of course, humanitarian aid needs to get in at volume and at speed." The PM said the UK has been talking to other partners about what more the country can do, "including questions of sanctions". He added: "My strong belief is, when we make a move, if we're able to do that in company of other countries, that's a stronger move than doing it on our own. So that's the basic approach that we're taking. But we are working on what more we could do." Follow our Mirror Politics account on Bluesky here.

Israel's foreign minister Gideon Sa'ar said it is "outrageous" that the UK has sanctioned two of the country's government ministers. Mr Sa'ar said he had spoken with Prime Minister Mr Netanyahu and that an Israeli response would be discussed at a meeting early next week. He said: "We were informed about the UK decision to include two of our ministers on the British sanctions list. It is outrageous that elected representatives and members of the government are subjected to these kind of measures. "I discussed it earlier today with PM Netanyahu and we will hold a special government meeting early next week to decide on our response to this unacceptable decision."

Gino D'Acampo's restaurant empire 'owed seven-figure sum' before near-closure

Gino D'Acampo's restaurant chain was saved from the brink of collapse after falling into £7million worth of debt. The scandal-ridden TV chef was booted from ITV programming earlier this year after a series of allegations of sexually inappropriate and bullying behaviour from dozens over his career. It's not the only crisis the former presenter, who has firmly denied all allegations, has had to navigate with his culinary empire was almost forced to shut down due to amassing an eye-watering amount of debt. D'Acampo owns restaurants across London, Leeds, Liverpool, Newcastle and Manchester, totalling 11 locations, an Italian ingredients supplier Bonta Italia Ltd, as well as a line of Asda ready meals. The financial woes, however, became apparent last year when he was unable to pay his staff at his My Pasta Bar chain thanks to the business stacking up £5m worth of losses. It has now come to light that the controlling company Upmarket Leisure – of which the 48-year-old TV personality owns 10% – owed £5.3m to HMRC and almost £2m to creditors ahead of its near-closure. This included food suppliers who were owed almost £500,000, a wine dealer due £302,000 and a pasta company waiting for a £4,809 payment. The statement of affairs, publicly released on June 5, also outlined that Upmarket only had£117,000 in cash at the bank and £320,000 in other assets to cover the debt. In May, the chain was saved when Upmarket was bought out of administration in a whopping £5m deal which secured the jobs of all 400 staff members. It also ensured the payment of £4.2m to two major creditors. At the time, Dean Watson, an administrator Begbies Traynor, said: 'This very well-recognised group of restaurants will be able to continue, under their existing brand, and has the opportunity to thrive again. Meanwhile, D'Acampo is gearing up for an imminent TV comeback since his slew of travel and food shows, as well as his regular spot on This Morning, were stopped. He recently appeared on the radio where he made a series of innuendo-filled, sexually-charged comments towards the female presenter. Earlier this year, he also shared photos of himself on the set of a new project, both in front and behind the camera, with the promise of an upcoming release date. Meanwhile, Gino's official website promises great things ahead, including his career as a restaurateur. More Trending 'Gino is also one of the UK's most successful restaurateurs, with his restaurant empire growing by the day. Gino currently has 7 restaurants across the UK, plus has recently partnered with the global hotel giants to open restaurants both in the UK and overseas. 'Malta is the next international site to open in June 2025, in the 5* ME HOTEL, Mercury Towers,' the site reads.

Greta Thunberg's 'freedom flotilla' crew in full - including dad of 6-month baby

Greta Thunberg has been deported from Israel after the boat she was travelling on was intercepted by Israeli forces - the Mirror looks at who else joined the young activist on the 'freedom flotilla' Activist Greta Thunberg has been deported from Israel after the vessel she was travelling on to deliver aid like baby formula and rice to the Gaza Strip was intercepted by Israeli forces, and taken to Ashdod port. Dubbed the 'selfie yacht' by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Greta and 11 other activists were attempting to break the naval blockade and deliver aid to the Gaza Strip, when the vessel - the Madleen, which was reportedly sailing under a British flag - was intercepted. ‌ The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) - who organised the voyage - said that the Madleen was "unlawfully boarded" and that doing so was a breach of international law, something the Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly denied. ‌ "The maritime zone off the coast of Gaza is closed to unauthorised vessels under a legal naval blockade, consistent with international law. The yacht is claiming that it is delivering humanitarian aid. In fact, it is a media gimmick for publicity (which includes less than a single truckload of aid) - a 'selfie yacht'," a spokesperson said. "The Gaza maritime zone remains an active conflict area, and Hamas has previously exploited sea routes for terrorist attacks, including the October 7 massacre. Unauthorised attempts to breach the blockade are dangerous, unlawful, and undermine ongoing humanitarian efforts," they added. Donald Trump took aim at the young activist, calling Greta a "strange person" and saying that she needs "anger management classes". However, the US President also said: "I think Israel has enough problems without kidnapping Greta Thunberg. Is that what she said? She was kidnapped by Israel?" The FFC has organised many attempted voyages to Gaza, with one in May ending after the vessel was allegedly attacked by two drones. Greta said before setting sail about the journey: "We are doing this because no matter what odds we are against, we have to keep trying, because the moment we stop trying is when we lose our humanity. "No matter how dangerous this mission is, it is nowhere near as dangerous as the silence of the entire world in the face of the lives being genocided". ‌ The Mirror takes a look at who else set sail on the FFC voyage and was detained alongside Greta Thunberg. Rima Hassan Rima Hassan is a French member of the European Parliament (MEP), she was born in Syria to a family of Palestinian refugees, and is reported to be banned from entering Israel. ‌ She was refused entry to the country at the Ben-Gurion airport earlier this year, due to her opposition to Israel's treatment of Palestinians and for promoting boycotts against the country. The 33-year-old left-wing politician said in a video recorded ahead of the vessel's interception: "We count on your mobilisation to put pressure on the French government to demand our release." Yasemin Acar Yasemin Acar, 37, is a German citizen with Kurdish parents who came from Turkey, and she has worked extensively helping Ukrainian refugees in Germany since the war with Russia began, creating Berlin Arrival Support. She has even advised the Berlin Senate on how to deal with refugees. ‌ Yasemin has been a "vocal advocate" for Palestine for a long time, according to the FFC website, and has organised a number of demonstrations on the issue. Omar Faiad Journalist Omar Faiad works for Al Jazeera Mubasher - a Middle Eastern 24-hour news channel - and is reported to have been onboard the vessel to report on the activists' journey. The release of the French journalist has been called for by Reporters Without Borders, (RSF) who strongly objected to the detainment, calling it an "attack on journalism". Yanis Mhamdi ‌ Another French journalist reporting from the vessel, Yanis Mhamdi was also detained by Israel. Yanis works for the website Blast and said on his social media shortly before Madleen was intercepted: "I am a journalist and my arrest by the Israeli army is imminent. I call on all journalists to mobilise." The RSF also "firmly condemn" Yanis being held, saying in a statement about the two journalists: "Boarding a civilian vessel in international waters to intercept a crew that included two French journalists documenting a peaceful humanitarian initiative is not only illegal, but constitutes a serious violation of international law and press freedom." ‌ Thiago Avila Brazilian Thiago Avila, 37, was also on board the vessel and is a steering member of the FFC. He coordinates the organisation's Brazilian arm and he has been campaigning for Palestine for 19 years, with a focus on creating humanitarian corridors for aid since 2023 - and has a six-month-old daughter. Other passengers There were six other passengers onboard the Madleen - who the FFC refers to as volunteers. This included three other people from France - Baptiste Andrew, Pascal Maurieras, and Reva Viard - Mark van Riennes from the Netherlands, Suayb Ordu from Turkey, and a Spanish citizen, Sergio Toribio. Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham was initially reported to be taking part in the Flotilla too, but has not been named as one of the passengers on Greta's boat.
