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.

The former ITV news anchor says she tried to fight off the gang in Piccadilly 'shattered & traumatised' TV star Selina Scott viciously attacked and robbed by gang of eight in lawless London as she slams police Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BROADCASTER Selina Scott was viciously attacked and robbed by a gang in broad daylight last week, she revealed.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Selina Scott says she was robbed after being attacked by a gang in London Credit: Getty Images - Getty She said she was leaving a Waterstones in Piccadilly, Central London, when she was struck on the back of her right knee and thought she had been stabbed. A gang of around seven or eight men and women, in expensive sportswear and seemingly of East Asian origin, who were in front of her then turned and hemmed her in. They tried to grab her designer backpack, which she tightly held onto. Another group then barged into her and she realised she was being 'attacked from both sides at the same time'. Selina managed to keep hold of the bag when she fought back and the gang walked off laughing. She later realised they managed to unzip the bag and take her purse, which had her driving license, cards and cash. Ms Scott, a TV icon since the 1980s who famously interviewed Donald Trump, slammed the lack of police presence to deter or catch the criminal thugs. She said she walked 'up and down some of London's busiest central areas' and did not see a single officer. The journalist wrote in the Mail on Sunday that the events were 'so swift and practised that it was clear it was a coordinated assault." She added: 'I was right by a busy bus stop, although no one would have known what was going on. "It was slick, brief and clearly engineered to happen in the middle of a crowd. 'I still feel shattered after what has happened. I can't believe it happened to me. 'I'm mentally resilient and physically fit, but if they can attack me in such a brazen way they can attack anyone. 'You're left feeling not just traumatised, but stupid that you have somehow let it happen. 'I'm also furious about the lack of police on our streets. No wonder the gang who set about me have a sense of impunity - they can do anything they want because they know no one will stop them.' She suffered bruising to her leg but said she was relieved they did not use a knife. The Met Police said: 'While we understand that the victim was frustrated that she couldn't see any police officers on the street, a significant number of officers patrol the West End every day - not just in uniform on foot, but also in plain clothes and in vehicles to have the best opportunity to identify and apprehend suspects. 'We would be happy to talk to the victim to better understand her concerns.'

Parents of baby decapitated during birth betrayed after doctor posts graphic pics
"Graphic and grisly" footage from the baby's post-mortem was shared on Instagram. The parents of a baby who was tragically decapitated during childbirth have been awarded millions after a pathologist shared graphic footage of their son's post-mortem examination online. Jessica Ross and Treveon Taylor Sr. were unable to see their first child - whom they called Treveon Isaiah Taylor Jr. - following his birth on July 10, 2023. He had become stuck behind her pelvic bone after several hours of labour. Medics did not tell the couple his head had been severed during the delivery, according to court documents. They later hired pathologist Dr Jackson Gates, after a funeral home informed them of the condition of their son's body. However, he shared a video of the baby's body on social media, showing "graphic and grisly detail of post-mortem examination" and his "decapitated, severed head", according to lawyers for the parents. Although he deleted the video from Instagram, he posted a further two just a few days later, all of which the couple said were shared without their permission, the Mirror reports. Cory Lynch, a lawyer for the couple told Fox 5 Atlanta: "For him to post these images and videos without permission was insane to us. "And especially with the nature of the posts... of the grisly details of the autopsy examination and also pictures of the child's head. It was baffling that he would do something like that." In September 2023, Ms Ross and Mr Taylor took legal action against Gates and the firm Gates Rapid Diagnostic Laboratory of Atlanta. The doctor did not respond, leaving the State Court in Fulton County, Georgia, to decide the case. The pathologist's lawyer Ira Livnat, who was hired after the court's decision, claimed this resulted in the case ending in favour of the parents, stating: "The plaintiffs got the absolute best case." On Wednesday, June 19, the court awarded Ms Ross and Mr Taylor $2.25million (£1.6million). Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

A statement from the couple's lawyer said: "While we are pleased that a jury punished Dr. Jackson Gates for his reprehensible behavior, nothing can ease the pain that the parents, Jessica Ross and Treveon Isaiah Taylor Sr., have experienced in losing their baby boy in such a horrific way." "After the decapitation of their baby, Gates poured salt into the couple's already deep wounds when he betrayed them. "This young couple trusted him with the remains of their precious baby. Gates, in turn, repaid this trust by posting horrific images of their child for the world to see." A lawyer for Gates said the doctor "deeply, deeply regrets any harm" but in a social media post that has since been removed, he called the outcome "a complete miscarriage of justice" declaring that he intended to appeal the decision. Gates said he still shares post-mortems online, according to Atlanta News First.
