Investigators looking into the kidnap of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of the Tod show host Savannah Guthe gave an update on an alleged ransom note which claims She has died G gl you're listening to C cheatheet, a ten minute podcast on the day's newews on Tuesday, the twenty second of June. I'm Sfie Ridge. And I'm Wilfrey Frosts and also today, we are expecting the hottest June day on record There were biblical thunderstorms overnight N only Since this time yesterday, has the Prime Minister resigned which may be expectations had risen about, but we didn't know until we knew But it looks potentially like we could have a new prime Mister in weeks, not months Politics is on It's sort of like fast forward. It's like when you listen to a podcast at like three times the speed. This is what is happening now. I can't really get a grip on it. As seventh Prime Minister in ten years. I mean, what is actually going on? But look, it looks almost inevitable now that Andy Burnham is going to be in number ten and he could be number ten very, very quickly I just want to set out the timetable because actually this really matters, right? So What Kiram said yesterday is that From july the ninth, that's when the stuning gun is going to be fired on A leadship contest MPs can put themselves forward. We know Andy Burnham's gooddy, we know whereest Streeting isn't gooddy. That means it's almost certainly going to be Andy Burnham, right And then that could go until july the sixteenth. So if no one runs then we could have Andy Burnham. as new prrime Minister uly By Friday the seventeenth of July. Now there's an important point on this that means it comes just after the NATO summit so Kiss armor can have a final International summit to sign off on By the way. his planned EU reset summit has been canceled has been certainly delayed until the new Prim Minister is in place It also comes two days before the World Cup final. You know So fingers crossed and you know, maybe that means they both get to go Starmuck can go with his family, be out of the lime night the new Prime Minister goes. Were it awkward at all, I'm sure between D loogic Bder? Well and President Trump who' been criticizing his immigration and energy policy as a reason why he may have lost power. The crazy thing about this clearly. is how quick it looks like it will be And I think there's lots of questions not just about what will be the core set of policies that will define Andy Burnham also his top team And we just don't know the answers to that. I don't think the wor thing is he knows the answers to that. I think you're totally right just on the top team first because actually I think look This says so much about his policies's right. You know, if he chooses Z Miliband as Chancellor Or if chooses Westerruting's Chancellor, this tells us so much about Andy Burnham. And actually I find it slightly wild that Apparently they're considering both of these people to be Chancellor because They're so different politically. you kind of think, what is the coherent political philosophy behind somebody who might be thinking that I think that is slightly confusing But yeah, so for the Chancellor role, Ed Milliband, we know is very keen to get it. There are sort of question marks, I think about whether people within the team Burndam think he's the right person. We're streeting, I No for sure because I've been told that he was being considered earlier this week for the role of Chancellorship. Whether or not that's materializing into anything, whoo knows, have they made up their mind? who knows I think the other thing is if we're streeting and Shiban and Mamu you'd base people on the kind of center, if you like politics put in the three top jobs that Bedham's got Kid. even thinkink. What's almost ironic is perhaps The biggest clearest criticism of the Salmer Premiership is he didn't come into government with a plan Clearly based on what we've just discussed. or not knowing who will occupy the top jobs Andy Burnham doesn't yet have that plan and he has to get off to a good start The rest of twenty twenty six, the next six months have to be a successful him and the lack of a clear blueprint and plan just lowers the likelihood of that. and that is a big concern for him and for the country Just finally on this timeline There could be a challenger could be you know, the loyalists to Kistarma, Darren Jones, it could be the ambitious Young Military man Al Khes just wanting to put their names for the sake of it. It could be someone like Ed Miliband. If he's not Can you imagine? I mean, you know, if he's not promised chanceces, you know, I think all of these are highly unlikely. Katherine West. It could be Katherine West. But there's a chance still that it's not july seventeenth and that it's September. But overwhelmingly, it looks like it's the seventeenth of July and it will be a coronation. Now The former leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, the DP, Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, has been found guilty of multiple sexual offences including rape A sixty three year old committed the crimes between nineteen eighty five and two thousand eight. two women children, he had denied All of the charges. He said they simply weren't true. They were unbelievable, but the jury convicted him of rape and thirteen indecent assaults and four counts of gross in decency and his wife Lady Eleanor Dlnson was found to have aided and abetted his crimes. It is really quite stunning and shocking and horrendous story for, you know, perhaps Northern Ireland's best known politician. He's of course, now a former MP and and he'll be sentenced in September. Now a medical breakthrough story next because the first drug that can delay the onset of type one diabetes is going to be made available on the NHS in both England and Wales. So this is the pronunciation. What's it called here? Okay. TP Lzoumab ood. Thanks. It's a form of immunotherapy that can give people three more years before they develop symptoms and then would need to go on to lifelong insulin treatment. So the NHS says this is genuinely exciting Hundreds of children and young people likely to benefit each year. and type one diabetes, you can get at any time, but actually the most common age of diagnosis is when you're a teenager. so this is just great news. Now An update on tragic traumatic story that we've discussed at quite length on this podcast. reuction of the mother of the NBC Today show host Savannah Guthrie. Nancy Guthrie, she went missing, as youll remember in late January. It' now been reported quite widely in the US there were two ransom notodes Early after the abduction the second one had said that she had died during her abduction Of course, the investigations as we know had proceeded since January at pace even despite that ransom note and they do continue now the County Sheriff's Department in PMa who are leading the investigation haven't commented on this particular note and say the investigation is ongoing. So both me will for court with these Crazy thunderstorms in the way into work. Biblical. It was was Lightning, it was crazy. How'd you say? Biblical Thunderstorm on the day of England's next match soide But aside for what? is that good? We're going win the World Cup. Everything I find positive spinning it all. It's amazing. My New England show arrived yesterday as well. Excited It's all it's all happening. maybe it was as an omen of the change of government. Yeah, pathetic valacy for Well, let' hope it's a positive storms over Westminster. The greatest Pimeinister of all time Or maybe as you said, it's a bad sign, I don't know. Anyway, back to the story. Thunderstorms overnight This is There's kind of prelude to some unbelievably hot we there. So temperatures around London set to hit thirty seven degrees and that if that happens, would surpass a fifty year old record whichich is thirty five point six degrees. it was all the way back in nineteen seventy six. The hottest June day on record. This we agreed is too hot. Officially too hot, yes. Particularly when you're at work in a suit and things like that. The only thing I just think about is, at least it'll be dry heat Isn't that how this works? If you have a big downpall before You've you've reached the limit of my weather Yeah, I mean, as I think I listen when I've reached the limit of mine too. But surely that must be what sort of happens. The waters come out j now. Will it be humid still? If you actually know, and you are listening to the podcast, email us cheheat sheet at skky. uk. I do want to say it's not just London, it is all across the UK. So the metet offffice, rare red warnings for Wednesday and Thursday, parts of the Midlands, Southeast Wales, southern England
