But now some patients fear their supply
will soon dry up.
>> We're doing all we can to maintain
patient access. Um we are concerned that
patients may try and pursue um
alternative routes for this medicine.
In an exclusive interview with this
program, the company says it was
pressure from President Trump that
contributed to their move. We look at
what it means for those using it. Also

This is the ITV Evening News with
Lucretzia Millerini.
>> Good evening. The manufacturer of weight
loss drug, Marjaro, has tonight
apologized to UK patients for a
significant price rise for the jab and
admitted to ICV News that political
pressure from President Trump
contributed to its decision. News that
the cost of the drug is set to double
has led to a surge in demand.
For Chloe, taking Mjaro weight loss
injections has been transformative
for her appearance, her health, and her
happiness. This was Chloe at 29 stone.
Her polycystic ovary syndrome made her
gain weight. on Mount Jaro. She lost
more than 10 stone in a year.
>> It's been a whirlwind, but it's been
lifechanging. It's like I actually did
start my life a year ago. But now the
price of her life changing drug is set
to rise dramatically.
>> It's very difficult to think of life
without Mjaro. My worst fear is that
I've got my last jab in my fridge and
once that's gone, I don't know if I can
order another one. Um, I can't just get
that money from dinner.
>> From September the 1st, next Monday, the
price of the weight loss drug, Mangjaro,
is set to increase by £170.
The wholesale price of a month's supply
of the highest dose will rise from £122
to £330.
NHS patients won't be affected.
>> He said,
>> it follows this.
>> I just paid $88
and in New York I pay $1,300. Donald
Trump complaining of the high cost of
drugs in the US and putting pressure on
drug companies to align global prices.
>> We are sorry if patients are
experiencing um an interruption.
>> This is the first time a UK boss at Eli
Liy, the drug company that makes Mjaro,
has answered questions on the
controversy. To what extent is the price
rise a result of political pressure from
President Trump? So it's one factor that
we take into account, but we do also
want to achieve a price that is more on
a par and more equal to what we see
across the rest of Europe. The price
rise is causing people to stockpile,
panic buy. There are risks about people
turning to the black market. Does your
company accept some responsibility for
that? And are you regretful about that?
>> We are doing all we can to maintain
alternative routes for this medicine and
one of our concerns is that we have this
medicine reimbursed by NICE but the roll
out of that medicine is going to take
over a decade. So NHS delays are leading
people to look to the black market.
>> We're concerned that if patients can't
access it through the NHS then they may
look to the black market because that's
where they could find a cheaper version.
The company confirmed to ITV News that
it's proposed a deal so UKarmacies can
give £80 off the maximum price hike, but
says it can't control what they
ultimately charge their patients. Would
you or your company like to offer an
apology for the patients who are going
to be disrupted, people might be mid
treatment and they'll have to stop
taking this medication just because they
can't afford it.
>> So, we are sorry for patients who feel
that they need to make decisions based
on price. However, we are working with
the NHS. We have already worked with the
NHS to ensure that we maintain access
through the NHS and we are working with
private providers try and maintain
patient access through private
providers. Around 1 and a half million
people in the UK use weight loss jabs,
the vast majority like Chloe through
private prescriptions. Many now face
uncertainty.
Rebecca, extraordinary admissions from
Eli Liy tonight. What's behind it?
Well, what I found really striking from
that interview was the clear message of
frustration from Eli Liy at the slow
roll out of Mangjaro on the NHS. The
suggestion being that if more people
could get this for free on the health
service, this dramatic price rise
wouldn't be an issue. Some might say
that sounds like passing the buck. The
government says that it is committed to
ensuring that more people have access to
these revolutionary drugs in a safe and
controlled way, but it insists that
pricing in the private market is a
matter for Eli Liy and private
providers.
Okay, Rebecca, thank you.
Russia's ambassador to the UK was
summoned to the foreign office today
over a massive drone and missile attack
on Kev which killed at least 19 people
and damaged the city's British council
and EU offices. Sakist Armor condemned
the Russian strikes which saw four
children among those killed as
senseless. Ukraine's president called
for a greater pressure to be put on
Moscow until President Putin made real
steps towards peace. Well, there were
more than 600 missiles and drone strikes
on Keefe overnight. One of the biggest
aerial assaults mounted by Russia in the
war so far. Most of those who died were
in a residential building in the eastern
Danitzki district, which was hit in the
middle of the night. Hours later,
strikes hit Kev central area, severely
damaging buildings, including those
housing the EU delegation to Ukraine and
the British Council. Uh this is the
scene in Ukraine's capital tonight where
the rescue operation continues. Ian
Woods has the latest.
Peace talks have failed to bring an end
to the war. Instead, Russia brought the
war back to the heart of Ukraine's
capital.
It's rare for residential buildings in
central Kev to be hit, but more than 600
drones and missiles rained down before
dawn. Children, including a 2-year-old,
were among those killed.
Residents looked stunned as they
assessed the deaths and the damage to
their neighborhoods.
>> The moment we left the house, the siren
was screaming above my head. At this
point, you feel horrific primal fear
that pierces your body with needles. You
just don't know what to do. The number
of dead rose throughout the day as
bodies were recovered from collapsed
buildings.
>> I don't think anyone wants peace in the
Russian Federation. And this is a
challenge even to our international
partners. Because today's attack, which
was complex and involved drones and
missiles, proves only one thing. The
Russia is following its own path, the
path of terrorism. British and European
Union buildings were among those damaged
in the explosions. I'm in front of the
British Council, which has been very
severely damaged uh in last night's
attack. It's unacceptable.
>> It triggered official complaints from UK
and EU leaders.
>> This is another grim reminder of what is
at stake.
It shows that the Kremlin will stop at
nothing to terrorize Ukraine,
blindly killing civilians, men, women,
and children, and even targeting the
European Union. peace ambassador.
>> The Russian ambassador was summoned to
the foreign office for a diplomatic
rebuke. The prime minister said Putin is
damaging hopes of peace and the
bloodshed must end. Last week, he and
other world leaders flew to Washington
to urge President Trump to take a
tougher line when negotiating peace. A
microphone picked up Trump's optimism
when chatting to Emanuel Mcron.
>> I think he wants to make a deal. You
understand that? As crazy as it sounds.
Today the French president called the
attack on Keev terror and barbarism
while another participant who Trump is
close to sounded pessimistic about the
future.
>> We cannot be naive about Russia. We
cannot be naive about Vladimir Putin and
last night is evidence of that.
>> Attention now moves to the White House
to see how President Trump responds to
this latest rebuff in his attempt to
broker an end to the war. Ian Woods, ITV
News.
Back here, judges will rule tomorrow on
whether to overturn the decision to
block asylum seekers from being housed
at a hotel in Eping in Essex. The Bell
Hotel was the scene of repeated
protests, some of them violent, its
owner and the home office are seeking to
challenge a high court ruling that will
stop 138 asylum seekers from being
housed there beyond the 12th of
September. Our political correspondent
Harry Horton is at the Court of Appeal.
Harry, this decision will be watched
very closely by the Home Office and
local authorities.
>> Yeah, really closely because it could
potentially have huge ramifications for
the government. Home Office lawyers were
in the Court of Appeal today trying to
get last week's injunction overturned.
They argued that that decision was
wholly inappropriate. They also said uh
it sets a risk uh is a risk of a
precedent being set. that precedent they
worry uh is that dozens of other
councils across the country could launch
similar appeals. The government would
then have to rehouse thousands of asylum
seekers, something it says it is legally
obliged to do. There are more than
30,000 asylum seekers currently staying
in around 200 hotels across England. At
the Bell Hotel in Eping has become the
sort of epicenter of protests. Uh we've
seen lots of them uh this summer. The
conservativeled authority in the area
said because of those protests they uh
believed that continuing to house asylum
seekers in the hotel was intolerable and
they said that housing asylum seekers uh
was not more important than local
concerns. Now the government has
promised to close all asylum hotels by
the end of this parliament but it wants
to do that in a controlled and managed
way. Uh we're expecting a decision on
this tomorrow. Uh but if the government
loses, we could see potentially dozens
of other councils launch similar
appeals. It could mean uh potentially
more protests outside hotels and it will
be another headache for the government
on an issue, illegal immigration where
they're already on the back foot,
>> Harry, at the Court of Appeal. Thank
you.
A volunteer Metropolitan Police officer
has been found guilty of raping and
sexually assaulting a child. A court
heard how James Bob, who now identifies
as a woman named Gwyn Samuels, groomed
one of his two victims online before
sexually assaulting her when she was

told the court Bob used to talk a lot
about the powers they had in his role
and met as a special constable.
A man has been arrested over alleged
online racist abuse sent to England
defender Jess Carter during the women's
Euros. The 59year-old was detained by
Lanasher police this morning and
released on bail in an exclusive
interview after the tournament. The
Lioness's star told ICV News about the
impact such messages have on her and her
family. Here's our sports editor, Steve
Scott.
Jess Carter was subject to some quite
nasty racial abuse.
>> The moment detectives confronted a man
they believe was involved in some of the
online abuse directed at Lioness Chess
Carter during this summer's Euros. Since
then, police have been working with
Carter, BFA, and social media companies
to identify as many behind that abuse as
they can.
>> There is an incident which we believe
that you have some direct involvement
in. Okay. So, we've been instructed here
today to obviously come and formally
arrest you.
Carter was so disturbed by her
experience in Switzerland, she came off
social media and revealed to ITV News
after the tournament that she was
terrified ahead of the final.
>> As soon as we lost against France, the
messages started going from, "Oh, she's
not good enough or shouldn't be playing
for England or should be ashamed of
performance or whatever." And then it
was started being about the reason I was
rubbish was because of I was black. And
I'm not going to go into detail on the
comments that I was getting, but like it
was like vi like violently aggressive
racism.
>> After making today's arrest, the officer
in charge of policing football in
England said, "The messages directed
towards Jess Carter were appalling, and
I would like to commend her for standing
up to this abuse. We want to make it
clear that racist abuse of this nature
will not be tolerated. Everyone is
responsible for what they do and say,
and we want to ensure offenders cannot
hide behind a social media profile to
post vile comments.
Officers say today is just the start and
there are likely to be many more arrests
relating to the abuse Jess Carter
suffered in the coming months. Steve
Scott, ITV News.
There's plenty more to come on the ITV

investigates a trade in human remains
where social media platforms serve as an
unregulated marketplace.
>> There are other regulations in place in
terms of maybe animals that are far more
stringent.
Firefighters from around the country
join forces as the Yorkshire Dales fire
enters its 17th day. And
>> K-pop stars by day, demon hunters by

All that and more after the break.
Hello and welcome back. Authorities in
the United States are examining the
videos, writings, and movements of the
suspect who shot dead two children and
wounded 17 others at a Catholic church
in Minneapolis. The attack happened
during morning mass. The FBI is
investigating the shooting as an act of
domestic terrorism and a hate crime.
Thousands attended a vigil overnight in
memory of those killed and injured.
Here's our correspondent Robert Moore
with the latest.
At vigils in the aftermath of the school
shooting, there was not just grief and
anguish,
but also anger, too, at how America so
often has to endure such horrors.
The mayor of Minneapolis has long been
an advocate for gun control. Seemingly a
lonely voice in a country saturated in
militarystyle weaponry.
>> And don't let anybody tell you that it's
not about guns, cuz it is.
When you have more guns than people in
America, you got a problem.
>> At the scene of the mass shooting
outside of the school, the struggle to
understand what happened and why is only
just beginning. How is it that such a
terrible tragedy could take place in a
place that's the house of God in the
gate of heaven? It's unthinkable.
The perpetrator was Robin Westman, a
trans individual who left behind a dark
trail of clues and online videos,
including a sketch of the church and its
pews,
and messages written on the weaponry
filled with hate and threats.
A manifesto was fixated on guns,
violence, and previous school shootings.
Westman also appears to have posted on
an obscure online chat room, writing,
"I'm thinking on shooting up a church
what music to play." It's unclear
whether that left enough time to avert
the attack.
Amid the chaos, there were acts of
enormous courage from young pupils.
>> We had one kid that covered up another
kid and took a shotgun blast to his
back.
>> For parents of the children who
survived, the trauma is certain to
endure. We had a session with a
counselor and she told the counselor
that she thought she was going to die
on that day. So,
so
>> and this French father whose daughter
was physically unscathed said America
needs to reassess its claim to
greatness.
>> This idea like make America great. When
all those kids get shot, people are are
scratching their head about America.
What happened about America? This is not
what it used to be.
As this Minneapolis community prays and
seeks comfort, across America, concerns
will only grow about whether the new
school year will bring more copycat
attacks.
Robert Moore, ITV News, Washington.
>> Here, firefighters from nearby counties
have arrived to help crews tackle a huge
wildfire on the North Yorkshire moors.
The fire is currently covering 22 km and
is being contained, but there are
concerns changing wind conditions could
see it spread again. And some locals
have been warned to prepare grab bags
just in case. From North Yorkshire,
here's Amy Welch.
From first light, a landscape scarred by
a fire that's raged for 17 days was once
again being watered down. A drop in the
ocean in an area that now covers 22
square kilometers.
And for farmers like Will Terry who
spent his whole life on the Langdale
moors, it's a heartbreaking sight.
>> It's been apocalyptic. It's been so big.
It's just unbelievable. Uh there is
about 8 kilometers. It's really sad, but
it will mend itself.
>> So just tell me what you could see.
>> So over there we could see very thick
smoker. That's
>> Guy Coulson lives 2 miles away and while
billowing smoke filmed just a few days
ago has subsided, he's been told to pack
a grab bag in case he has to leave.
>> We had to evacuate our horses.
>> Are you worried that you might have to
evacuate?
>> Yeah, I mean deep down we do. It is in
our minds that we may have to evacuate
and we've got an evacuation plan. Our
chickens and ducks are going to be
loaded into crates and taken elsewhere.
And we've got a caravan which we'll take
if we have to leave home and live in
there.
>> 10 fire crews remain on the malls with
extra engines being drafted in from
across the country. Meanwhile, community
support comes in the form of free chips
for all emergency workers.
>> The firefighters were sooked exhausted.
I mean, if it wasn't for for them, who
would who'd be there to for any
emergency, never mind the uh the
wildfires.
>> 21 roads remain closed. And while the
cause of the fire is still unknown, the
sight of darkening clouds over North
Yorkshire will be a welcome and much
needed sight.
Well, those 10 extra fire crews have
come from as far away as Gloucester and
London as well as the Northwest and the
Northeast. They've been coming and going
all afternoon gathering at this hub in
Pickering, which is around half an hour
from where the fire started on the
Langdale moss. Now, people are still
being asked to keep their windows and
doors shut and told that if they do need
to evacuate, they will be contacted
directly, but the rain has been coming
and going here for the past hour. And
for once, the people of North Yorkshire
are grateful for that rain. Amy in
Pickering there. Thank you.
New figures have revealed the EU has
faced the worst season for wildfires
since records began. Spain and Portugal
have driven the surge, accounting for
more than 23 of the burned areas.
And North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and
Russian President Vladimir Putin will be
among more than two dozen foreign
leaders to attend China's massive
military parade next week. The parade is
part of China's commemorations to mark
the 80th anniversary of the end of World
War II following Japan's formal
surrender.
Now, if you've not seen them or heard of
them, the animated film K-pop Demon
Hunters, well, you almost certainly know
a young person who has. It's now the
most watched Netflix movie of all time
and was only released in June. It is uh
the everyday story of a girl group who
must use their singing to save humanity
from demons. Well, as luck would have
it, the demons are pretty good singers,
too. And the soundtrack of the film has
also been a runaway success. As Carrie
Davis reports, it's not bad for a movie
Netflix nearly wrote off.
>> This is Roomie, Mirror, and Zoey. And
together, they're Huntrixs, the chart
topping K-pop band and stars of
Netflix's most viewed film ever.
>> Yeah, this plane's trashed.
K-pop Demon Hunters follows the
fictional trio as they split their time
between selling out stadiums and saving
the world, fighting demons who also take
the form of rival band Saraja Boys.
>> At this K-pop shop, customers have been
clamoring for more.
>> They've watched the movie and they want
more. uh they want their their favorite
group to come back and their favorite
members to come back and uh yeah they
they you know come on K-pop demon
hunters where's the sequel kind of just
exploded onto the scene. Um like one day
I had no idea what it was and then
suddenly everybody was talking about it
K-pop fans and non-Kpop fans.
>> The soundtrack is a huge part of the
film's success. Some of the producers
and songwriters are K-pop industry
veterans who've worked with the likes of
Twice and BTS.
>> K-pop as an industry is now, you know,
not only one of the leading music
markets in Asia, but across the whole
world. Uh it's particularly popular with
young people. Um and you know, that's a
big subscriber base when it comes to
Netflix. Uh, and I think there's just
explosion in interest as well when it
comes to uh, Korean Korean content.
>> The film's popularity has prompted
singalong screenings at cinemas across
the UK.
But it's not just the music that has
struck the right notes. South Korea's
president praised the film made in the
US by Sony Pictures for its cultural
authenticity.
just wanted everybody to just accept
that they were in Korea. You know, maybe
to somebody who's like very new to any
anything Korean, everything will be
like, "Whoa, what is this? Why do the
rooftops look like this?" or whatever.
But I think that's the feeling you get
when you like step into a new country.
>> Those who stepped in and loved it will
be pleased to hear there are already
talks of a sequel. Carrie Davis, ITV
>> You're watching the ITV Evening News.
It's just coming up to 7:00. Here's
what's still ahead.
One family's fight to sell this device
in all UK airports and how it could save
lives.
Tour to France champion Chris Froom

there is more rain over coming days for
many parts of the UK. And we have a
weather warning in place for some of us.
I'll have all the weather details later
on.
First, a special report on the alarming
and frankly unsettling growth of the
trade in human remains. It is a
multi-million pound industry and is
being fueled by social media. An
investigation by ITV News has found
there are more than 80 active sellers on
Instagram and Facebook alone. They
promise to deliver anything from human
skulls to bones and even to wallets made
from human skin. Prices range from
hundreds to thousands of pounds.
Surprisingly, what they are doing isn't
illegal, and the trade is completely
unregulated, meaning it's nearly
impossible to trace where or who the
body parts have come from. The remains
end up being displayed as curiosities in
people's homes or turned into jewelry or
art, as well as used in witchcraft and
magic rituals. Our investigation raises
many concerns, and there are calls for
the trade to be outlawed. And a warning,
this report from Sam Holder contains
images of human remains and details you
may find upsetting.
If you're easily disturbed, you may want
to turn away because these dozens of
accounts are part of a thriving and
chilling trade. From skulls to wallets
made of skin, the sale of human remains
advertised online, delivered straight to
your door. So, we were able to order
some bones. I find it quite unnerving,
quite upsetting really to think about
what's inside. Here,
this is what's being sold online.
We have a handwritten note of what's
inside.
And it says that we've got a rib,
vertebrae,
a kneecap there, a finger bone, and a
clavicle.
Um, no explanation about where these
have come from or who they were or when
they're from. Uh,
and it's really
strange to think these were people.
Now they're being sent in the post. So,
where are these body parts coming from?
Some are ex-medical skeletons, but
others are far less ethical. This church
crypt in Kent has stored skulls and
bones for hundreds of years. Now it has
a double lock system and high-tech
security alarm.
>> So you've got pretty hefty security
these days.
>> Yeah, sadly it's necessary.
>> Necessary after the front door was
smashed in during a robbery.
>> 21 skulls had been removed from the
shells down there and naturally that
caused great concern because it's
tantamount to grave robbing. These are
human mortal remains. What do you think
about this trade in in human remains
potentially including skulls taken from
here?
>> I think it's um fairly reprehensible
indeed and certainly most people around
here they would never believe that such
a thing were possible.
>> What is the difference between bones
being displayed here compared with say
in someone's living room?
>> This is holy ground. This is within
church property. And for them, they
would never imagine, I would think, that
they would be used as ornaments or items
of curiosity.
>> They were grizzly transactions all in
the name of profit.
>> As well as graverobing, much of the
human skin available was likely stolen
from the morg at the Harvard Medical
School.
>> The human remains trade is a
multi-million pound industry. A skull
starts at around400.
A child's skull is nearly 10 times more,
while a wallet made of human skin is
around £6,000.
>> BO is a group of academics and experts
aiming to stop the trade.
>> Currently,
selling human remains is legal.
>> Yeah, you can you can do that. Yes.
which is a terrible thing to say and
seems awful and I think everyone would
be very shocked to think that that is
something that is possible to do and
that there are other regulations in
place in terms of maybe animals that are
far more stringent.
>> So in essence it is illegal to sell say
ivory but it's perfectly legal to
possess and then sell human remains.
>> Yes. Sadly that that's the situation
that that we're in. What do we think
people are using these human remains
for?
>> Could be different things like ritual or
magic. Somebody may just have an
interest in it. They may see them as
artistic.
>> We've identified more than 80 accounts
selling human remains. Some are death
influencers with tens of thousands of
followers. We spoke to some of the
sellers. Few could say where the body
parts came from. We asked one if they
had any bones available. The answer, I
have tons, lol. Another seller tried to
haggle the price of a human foot. A
third said their remains were taken from
cemeteries and vague lost and trashed
places.
>> We took the bones we ordered to a
forensic expert to find out more. So,
the obvious first question is, are these
actually real? Are they human bones?
These are definitely real human remains.
This one, this longer one is a right
rib. Um, and it's from an adult
individual.
We have this bone which is a vertebra.
Here you have two holes which tells me
there was a wire going through. We see
this in many of our teaching anatomical
um human remains that we have. I would
say that the appearance of these bones,
the completeness, the preservation, the
holes on the vertebrae are more
consistent with what we would call
anatomical teaching human remains.
>> But even exmedical skeletons pose
serious ethical questions. Donating a
body to a hospital is not the same as
agreeing to be displayed at someone's
home. And many, especially from the
Victorian era, were also stolen from
graves. the remains of people who never
expected that in afterlife they'd be
sold by dealers in death.
>> Wow, Sam, this will be a surprise to
many. Um, legally a gray area. Why isn't
it regulated?
>> It sort of falls through the gaps of
different laws, but essentially there's
nothing that bans the buying and selling
of human remains except for transplants.
That isn't allowed. But when it comes to
grave robbing, the actions of disturbing
a grave and exuming bones without
permission, those are illegal. Those are
crimes. But there's nothing specific
about what happens to those bones
afterwards. And we've seen a massive
increase in the trade, possibly by
around 500% over the past 5 years, in
part thanks to this loophole and due to
the rise in social media.
>> And Sam, the bones that you managed to
buy, what will become of those? So, just
as when a construction site accidentally
uncovers human remains, we'll be handing
them over to an archaeologist who will
either place them in a museum or reberry
them.
>> All right, Sam, thank you.
>> All right, let's get an update on what
is making the news tonight. The makers
of Major, one of the UK's most popular
weight loss drugs, have told this
program that price rises coming to the
UK are related to political pressure
from Donald Trump, among other factors.
There are growing concerns about
stockpiling of the drug ahead of the
hike.
And while we've been on air, the White
House has said Donald Trump is not
happy, but not surprised after Russia
launched one of its most deadly assaults
on Ukraine last night. The president
will speak later this evening. German
Chancellor Mertz has also said it is
obvious that a meeting between Putin and
Zalinski will not happen after last
night's attacks.
Well, next, the mother of a man who died
of carbon monoxide poisoning on holiday
has marks a breakthrough in her campaign
to make travel safer. 24year-old Hudson
Foley died two years ago in Ecuador and
his mother Kathy has since raised
awareness about the dangers. And from
today, for the first time, more than a
dozen UK airports are selling mobile
carbon monoxide alarms. The campaigners
say more must still be done to beat this
silent killer. As our consumer editor
Chris Choy reports,
>> age 24, Hudson Foley died of carbon
monoxide poisoning on holiday in
Ecuador. It's a colorless, odless, toxic
gas that can come from fuel burning
appliances. Now 2 years on, his mom's
had a breakthrough fighting this killer.
For the first time ever, travelers can
now purchase travel carbon monoxide
alarm in 14 UK airports. It's very
poignant that it's 2 days before the
second anniversary of losing Hudson. So,
I also wanted to do something positive
in his memory and it is part of his
legacy. He was a very kind and giving
young man.
>> They're stocking up at around £25 a
time. In many countries, there is no
requirement for tourist accommodation to
install these
Now, of course, as people head off on
holiday with all of this excitement,
it's hard to get them to think about
what could possibly go wrong.
Campaigners believe that getting these
sold in airports is a big breakthrough
that can save lives.
After Christy and Bobby Shepard died of
carbon monoxide poisoning on holiday in
Corfu, a coroner recommended that alarms
were sold at airports, but it's taken 10
years. You can hang it on the back of
your backpack just like this. Very easy.
And when it goes off, which it would if
there was carbon monoxide detected, you
won't be able to ignore it because it
will sound
like that.
>> And some in this industry now want more
warnings on tickets and travel documents
to drive home the message. Tour
operators and travel agents can also
play a part um by raising awareness and
including information perhaps as part of
their final documents or their tickets
uh to remind travelers before they go
and perhaps even alert them that these
devices can be bought both online before
travel uh or even at the airport.
>> The family of Hudson Foley believes a
carbon monoxide alarm would have
prevented his death and they're
convinced a small gadget can remove a
big risk for very many more. Chris Choy,
ITV News.
>> Prince Harry has confirmed he'll visit
the UK next month to attend a charity
award ceremony. It will be his first
time in the UK since May when he lost
his appeal against the Home Office's
decision to downgrade his security.
Meghan Markle and the children will stay
in the US
and Ariana Grande has announced her
first tour in seven years. The pop star
will perform for five nights in London,
which are the only shows of her Eternal
Sunshine tour scheduled outside of North
America. Tickets go on sale next month.

Four time to France winner Chris Vroom
is to undergo surgery after being
airlifted to hospital following a
horrific crash. It happened as the
40-year-old professional cyclist was
training near his home in southern
France. Mark McQuillin is here with more
on this. And Mark, what's the latest on
his condition?
>> Well, Chris Room's condition is stable,
but the injuries he has sustained are
significant. The crash happened during
training in France, and there was an
update about it on the cyclist's
Instagram account earlier. It said Chris
was airlifted to hospital in Tulon
yesterday following a serious training
crash. No other cyclists or vehicles
were involved. Fortunately, Chris is
stable and did not sustain any head
injuries. However, scans have confirmed
a pneumothorax or collapsed lung, five
broken ribs, and a lumbar vertebrae
fracture that's in the lower back for
which he will undergo surgery. That
surgery is taking place today, and his
team say they'll provide an update on
his condition afterwards. As far as
Chris Froom, well, he is one of
Britain's most successful cyclists of
all time. He's won the tour to France
four times. He's also a two-time Olympic
bronze medalist. He's now 40 years old
and the contract he has with his current
professional cycling team actually runs
out at the end of this year. So, some
are asking will we see Froom race again
at an elite level. But clearly at the
moment, thoughts are very much focused
on his condition, well-being, and
recovery following this serious crash in
France.
>> A very speedy recovery. Mark, thank you.
Next tonight, the battle between
environmentalists and a water company
over one of Hampshire's most beautiful
waterways. The River Test is famous for
fly fishing and for its abundant
wildlife. But Southern Water today had
its application for a drought order
herd, which if approved could allow it
to use the test to boost dwindling
drinking water supplies even when river
levels are low. Southern says it's
needed after an exceptionally dry and
hot summer. Its critics though ask why
it doesn't fix its leaks first. Here's
our science correspondent Martin Stew.
>> The River Test in Hampshire is a world
famous spot for fly fishing.
Teaming with trout, the Chalk Stream is
a site of special scientific interest
and even features in the book Water Ship
Down.
Its water supports 200 species, but may
now be needed to bolster southern waters
dwindling stocks. The company has
applied for a drought order, which would
let them lower the river beyond normal
levels, much to angller's annoyance.
Well,
>> if water levels get too low, then
there'll be less oxygen in the water, so
a lot of the fish will die because of no
oxygen to breathe. that could have a
knock-on impact on the industry, which
is worth2 million pounds per week to the
local economy. Southern Water says the
application is needed after a baking hot
summer and the driest spring for 132
years.
>> This is no easy step to take. However,
we do need to make sure we're preserving
wholesome, clean drinking water for our
customers and balancing off those
environmental impacts.
>> That will be a tough cell to customers
who already have a hostpipe ban. We've
got a lot of wildlife around this area.
So, if they're going to take water out
whilst it's low, how's that how is that
beneficial?
>> There's not enough in there now. We've
just walked by actually and over mill
it's low.
>> Maybe if they actually fixed the leaks
that are all going on, they wouldn't
have to do that.
>> Well, Southern Water says it's reduced
leaks by 10% over the last 2 years, but
they're still losing 91 million lers
every single day. Plus, just last month,
the local council voted to recognize the
rights of the river test to flow
unpolluted and unimpeded. The
environment secretary will have the
final say on whether to approve the
drought order. Even if he does, Southern
Water says it's hopeful it won't need to
use it. Martin Stew, ITV News,
Hampshire.
>> Still to come on the program.
as everything. Such a fantastic match.
We fully full fully deserve that.
>> Tears and triumph. How Grimby took on
Manchester United and came out on top.
>> The week and the season draws to a close
on a rather unsettled note weatherwise.
And there's a weather warning in place
for some of us. I'll have all the
details next.
>> Yeah. Join me and Joe after the break.
Hello and welcome back. Time for the
weather now and Joe is in leads for us
this evening. Joe, rain warnings for
parts of England and Wales and we really
need it, don't we?
We certainly do. After a very dry spell,
the last 24 hours have seen some rather
heavy thundery downpours across parts of
the UK. Last night, quite a few across
the north of England and this afternoon
here in Leed, we've heard rumbles of
thunder and there have been some heavy
downpours. This area of the UK, of
course, still officially in drought with
a hose pipe ban in effect, but through
the rest of this week, some much needed
rain for here and other parts of the UK
with low pressure very much in charge of
the weather. Of course, we are on track,
as we know, for summer 2025 to be
officially the hottest on record here in
the UK. And over the next few days or
so, temperatures will be around average
or thereabouts for the time of year.
Now, we've seen some heavy rain for
parts of the UK this afternoon. We had a
warning for parts of South Wales this
afternoon. That's now died away. Things
easing off there, but another warning in
place as we head through tonight from
the Met Office. A yellow warning for
rain as a band of rather heavy showery
rain moves up from the southwest into
parts of Cormal and Devon and then moves
up into South Wales as we move through
the night tonight before edging
eastwards across southern counties of
England. And by dawn it's pushing into
the greater London area, the southeast
of England, then up into East Anglia.
And by tomorrow morning's rush hour,
there could be some really heavy and
disruptive rain. So we've put that
warning in place just to cater for that.
Tomorrow morning if you're traveling,
there could even be some hail in the mix
and rumbles of thunder as that rain
moves through tonight, the first part of
tomorrow. Unsettled conditions then as
we head into tonight. But what do we
have in store for the rest of the UK for
the next 24 hours? Let's take a look at
the forecast now.
Further showers expected for many areas
through this evening and overnight,
particularly western parts. And again
for tomorrow, gusty winds in the
downpours, rumbles of thunder at times,
temperatures around average, feeling
pleasant, any bright spells over the
next few days or so, but low pressure
continues to dominate as we head into
the weekend. It continues to be
unsettled with further wet and windy
weather to come during Saturday. The
details then as we can see through this
evening and overnight and into tomorrow.
Low pressure still very much in the
driving seat and associated showers and
spells of rain moving in from the
southwest tonight and then dominating
through the day tomorrow particularly
for western areas. Back to this
evening's details. There will be clear
spells. It's lovely here in Leeds at the
moment. A little bit fresh, but
temperatures in general tonight won't
fall much below around 9 or 10 degrees
away from urban areas. So, it's not a
chilly night, but that rainband moves in
by around 7 or 8:00 this evening into
Devon and Cornwall before edging
eastwards before dawn. And it will be
rather heavy and disruptive to start the
day tomorrow in the southeast in
particular. Onto the details then for
tomorrow. Chiefly, it's going to be a
rather showery day for many parts of the
UK. Early heavy rain for the southeast
begins to ease off through the course of
the afternoon, but it's breezy where we
see the downpours moving through. And
some of these are likely to be thundery
during tomorrow afternoon with hail in
the mix and certainly if you catch them,
lots of surface water and spray on the
roads. If you see any brightness and
there will be a few glimmers, it
shouldn't feel too bad at all.
Temperatures in the low 20s over the
next few days or so. It remains very
weather to come during Saturday.
With of course meteorological summer
drawing to a close this weekend, there's
no real settled weather in sight. not at
the end of this week or next week. It
remains unsettled, rather unpredictable.
Okay, Joe in leads. Thank you.
And finally, the smiles of Brimby Town
football fans have barely faded today
after last night's giant killing of
Manchester United in the League Cup. The
League 2 side won after an epic penalty
shootout and inflicted on a troubled
United one of their most embarrassing
ever defeats. And for one of the
Mariners's oldest fans, the cup upset
brings back memories of the last time
United visited Grimby 77 years ago.
Caroline Lewis reports.
>> Which side is he going to go this time?
>> He's going to hit the bar. Oh, they're
out.
>> The penalties had come down to sudden
death and a mistake by Manchester United
took Grimby Town to glory and the fans
couldn't contain their elation and
disbelief.
>> Oh, it's everything. Such a fantastic
match.
>> We fully full fully deserved that.
>> I've been watching Town since 1972 and
I've waited all my life for this moment.
>> And so is she, haven't you?
>> Yeah.
like it. This team, this manager, just
look at what it means to the fans.
>> Well, this is the goal where those
dramatic penalties took place last
night. Although it's much quieter here
today and almost back to normal. But
last night is certainly one the fans
won't forget. Grimby Town sit three
divisions below Manchester United. The
last time they faced each other was
1948, but it just so happens there's
someone here who was there.
96year-old John Hall has been a loyal
fan since he was a young boy. What was
the atmosphere like at that moment when
you realized you'd won?
>> One word, electric. We all jumped up
obviously and uh some people hugged each
other. I had a nice lady on my right. I
hugged her.
>> You were obviously there in 1948. How
did yesterday's match compare?
>> There were bigger crowds then, but they
were more subdued.
Nowadays, they're very vocal and the
last in some cases too vocal.
>> And the club CEO says it's all for the
fans. just an outbursting of pride.
Everybody's wearing their shirts. Um I
was on the school run this morning and
everyone's wearing their their football
kit, their Grimby colors. Um yeah, out
on the streets in the supermarket. So
it's amazing to see. Grimby Town now
progressed to the third round of the
League Cup. And with this monumental win
under their belt, they'll do so in high
spirits. Caroline Lewis, ITV News, Cleth
Thorps.
>> There you go. Some things really are
worth the wait. And that's it for now.
Julie is here with the latest at 10. But
from me and all the evening news team,
bye-bye.
