Body of missing Kiwi cameraman found by UK Police
British police confirm a body has been found in the search for missing New Zealander Joseph Day
A former TVNZ camera operator, Joseph Day, was found near Bristol in the UK.
His body was sadly found while police were searching for the 31-year-old who went missing over the weekend.
Day’s body was located and recovered in the early hours of Tuesday in the UK.
Police say a formal identification has not yet taken place but their hearts go out to Day’s family while enquiries into the circumstances of death continue.
Day was last heard from Saturday evening local time.
Day’s fiancée Kelsey say his disappearance was “extremely out of character”, in a post on social media.
The couple last chatted via text message on Saturday evening after reminding Day to pull down the blackout blinds.
‘His reply was “will do” and then he stopped responding but before that we were talking about how we were going to go to London in three weeks,’ Mulcahy told Nine Newspapers.
She had gone to London with friends for the night on Saturday and returned at 2pm on Sunday to find her fiancé was not there… with the blinds still up and a delivered grocery box still outside.
‘His plan was to have a really nice night in at home, having the flat to himself.’
Ms believes her fiancé left their Pembroke Road flat on foot as his bike remains untouched.
His keys, wallet and phone remain were also missing.
His phone and Facebook Messenger accounts were still showing as active, but there was no response to calls and messages.
The former colleagues of the camera operator are paying tribute to him, calling him loyal and honourable.
His parents have flown to the UK as the investigation continues.

Trump orders Pentagon to resume nuclear testing immediately

Trump orders Pentagon to resume nuclear testing, raising concerns over arms race and global safety
– Trump ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear testing, risking global tensions and retaliation from other nations.
– Proliferation concerns are rising as nuclear states modernise arsenals and the New START Treaty nears expiration.
The potential for worldwide radioactive fallout remains high, even for underground tests. The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, signed by 187 states, prohibits such testing, yet the US remains a signatory without ratification, bound not to violate the treaty’s intent.
Nuclear weapon testing, once crucial for understanding weapon effects and military planning, has diminished. Since World War II, nuclear tests have largely focused on developing new designs. Significant environmental and health concerns led to a moratorium on atmospheric testing in the early 1960s and the Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963.
Many countries, including the US, stopped explosive testing in the 1990s. Technological advancements allowed nations to develop nuclear weapons without the need for actual explosions.
Proliferation Risks
Nuclear proliferation continues, with all nine nuclear-armed states investing heavily in modernising their arsenals. This raises concerns about lowered thresholds for using such weapons.
Recent conflicts involving nuclear threats have escalated, and the number of nuclear weapons operationally available has begun to rise again. Russia has tested advanced nuclear weapons, while China is rapidly expanding its military capabilities.
The New START Treaty, which confines the nuclear capabilities of the US and Russia, is set to expire soon, with no successor treaty negotiations underway.
The Doomsday Clock has moved closer to midnight this year, highlighting the heightened dangers facing the world today.
