Afternoon briefing Thursday 3rd July

0:28Hey y 'all, Kelly Clarkson here with Wayfair.

0:34This is the Times afternoon briefing on Thursday the 3rd of July. Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota has died in a car crash at the age of 28. He was travelling with his brother in north-western Spain when their car is said to have run off the road and caught fire. He only got married two weeks ago. Liverpool and the Portuguese national team say the news is devastating and the Times' chief sports writer Martin Ziegler says it will be heartbreaking for people in Liverpool. I think fans really liked him because he would sort of give it all. I mean, as well as being the sort of person who would sort of get people off their seats because he was a highly technical clinical finisher, scored very important goals against their rivals.

1:15So they loved him for that. But he was somebody who always seemed to be giving his all and I think that was why he was so popular. Diogo Jota, who's died at the age of 28. Rachel Reeves has appeared in public for the first time since crying at Prime Minister's questions along with the Prime Minister and the Health Secretary Thank you very much, it's great to be here today Thank you Wes and it's great to be here today also with you Keir They've appeared at a hospital in East London to outline their 10-year plan for the NHS Sir Keir Starmer earlier told Chris Evans on Virgin Radio Breakfast the Chancellor is fine and suggested that he didn't notice the distress the Chancellor was in when she cried sitting next to him in the House of Commons yesterday.

1:59I actually personally didn't even appreciate it was happening in the Chamber because I came in and I've got questions being fired at me and PMQs and so I'm sort of constantly up at the debauchery box and down. But I think we just need to be clear, it's a personal matter and I'm not going to breach Rachel's privacy by going into what's a personal matter for her. The PM says he has every faith in the Chancellor and the pound and government borrowing costs have rallied after falling yesterday afternoon. On that NHS plan, the government wants to train more GPs at the expense of fewer hospital consultants.

2:36Ministers say they want to shift care out of hospitals and closer to home to make what Sakhir Starmer calls a neighbourhood health service. Health specialists say the plan won't stick, though, without more detail. The House of Lords is debating whether to ban Palestine action as a terror group after MPs voted for it. Nine Labour MPs voted against prescription. If peers approve, the group could be banned as soon as tomorrow. And in rugby, the former England captain Owen Farrell is expected to be called up to the Lions squad by his father Andy. He's a replacement for Elliot Daly, who suspected broke his arm against Queensland Reds yesterday.

3:13Farrell hasn't played internationally for almost two years and he's been out with concussion for nine weeks. Former Australian back Matt Gitto thinks it's an interesting call. Not really a like for likeness. I think having Blair Kinghorn come in now, they can play 10, 15, 13, can probably fill more positions like an Elliot Daly. Other than his leadership, I'm not sure that they're really lacking in that 10 department. So I don't know, but I think he's a phenomenal player and if he's brought in, he's going to add value. The Lions take on the new South Wales Waratahs in Sydney on Saturday morning.
