also have cases of parties. we also have cases of attempts made to other members of parliament, the newly elected chairperson of the traditional council has already received threats. journalists have received threats. journalists have received threats and all of this will be investigated. and my messages to everyone, especially those who are keyboard heroes, we will act without compromise. this is the main message. about using strong words, wishing death to someone at the keyboard from the safety of your home or publicly approving an assassination attempt of the leader of the slovak republic. also allow me to clearly refute all lies, all half truths and misinformation that are being spread by some of the media also. i would like to ask you all to stop giving public arenas to
12:31 pm
conspiracy theories, hoax spreaders or different candidates into the european elections who are trying to abuse this tragic situation for political gains. let us all refrain from lies and i would like to publicly declare that the security situation in the government meeting, the security measures are at a maximum possible level. i would like to thank the slovak intelligence service for an excellent cooperation. also, iwould service for an excellent cooperation. also, i would like to state that we have adopted stricter measures only during the meeting of the slovak ukrainian government meeting. i was strongly stating this because part of the media, part of the political scene are trying to blame the security forces, the law enforcement forces for the situation. i'm stating this very
12:32 pm
clearly, i am addressing certain media, some media, you know very well whom i am talking about, you are giving place to desperate politicians for them to spread their lies, stop doing this. in this way, you are contributing to polarising the society. also in the context of the society. also in the context of the situation, you are contributing to the fact that those who wish death to the prime minister are also wishing death to representatives of the law enforcement authorities so stop giving public space to people who are abusing this situation and trying to use it for political gains. i would like to follow up on what the deputy prime minister said, that the media need to understand that the media need to understand that today, this is no place for arguments between different political parties. also, the different political debates need to
12:33 pm
be changed. we need to bring the society together, we need to call down and we really need to stay far from what we are slowly leaning towards. we really need to stay far from a civil warjust because we are unable to tolerate different opinions. so, the response to hate cannot be hate. this is something which we all need to understand. also, representatives of opposition and coalition parties and, last but not least, the journalists, it and coalition parties and, last but not least, thejournalists, it is and coalition parties and, last but not least, the journalists, it is a plea to you as well. i would like to assure everyone that the police force, together with the intelligence services are doing everything possible to make sure that safety and security for our elected representatives is guaranteed, also security of the
12:34 pm
media together with the police units, we have strengthened the protection of all groups wherever there is certain threat present and we will do our utmost not to see a repetition of something that have seen yesterday. so, i would like to say very clearly that the minister of interior, the police force and all law enforcement authorities are here to guarantee safety and security because without security, there is no democracy and what happened yesterday, the attack on a prime minister of the slovak republic, is an attack on democracy and we will do our utmost to protect democracy for sub thank you very much and no space for your questions. translate mac i would like to first

12:39 pm
or ngos. they have been doing this especially because of their failures in elections and the frustration from multiple failures in elections which are quite visible over the last 20 years and they have brought us here. as you have heard, the radicalisation of the perpetrator has also been linked to the result of the last presidential elections which did not come to the wishes of the perpetrator but the main message applies to all of us including to me, let us now return to technical discussions, not to excessive hyperbolic situation and not scoring cheap political points by using demagoguery and populism when confronted with my political adversary. this is the main
12:40 pm
challenge and the reason why we talk about media is that at a certain point in time, the media replaced the political opposition because political opposition was unable to argue so the media stepped in. just rel on argue so the media stepped in. just reply on my — argue so the media stepped in. just reply on my behalf, we are not biaming — reply on my behalf, we are not blaming everyone. ijust stated the facts _ blaming everyone. ijust stated the facts i_ blaming everyone. ijust stated the facts. i summed up what was reported by the _ facts. i summed up what was reported by the suspect, the perpetrator, that he — by the suspect, the perpetrator, that he is— by the suspect, the perpetrator, that he is dissatisfied with the current— that he is dissatisfied with the current government. this is the reason — current government. this is the reason why— current government. this is the reason why he decided to act and he was against — reason why he decided to act and he was against the abolition of the special— was against the abolition of the special prosecution forces, he was against _ special prosecution forces, he was against the — special prosecution forces, he was against the suspension of military aid to— against the suspension of military aid to ukraine, he was against changes— aid to ukraine, he was against changes in— aid to ukraine, he was against changes in the public tv, he was against _ changes in the public tv, he was against changes in the judiciary. this is— against changes in the judiciary. this is not— against changes in the judiciary. this is not our motive, this is information— this is not our motive, this is information from the perpetrator and i'm information from the perpetrator and i'm not— information from the perpetrator and i'm not blaming everyone. if someone feels i'm not blaming everyone. if someone feeis guiity, _ i'm not blaming everyone. if someone feels guilty, well, we are just

12:44 pm
disagreements with other political opinions can translate into a murder attempt. there was an interesting discussion with the interior minister who was talking about the role of various people and organisations. he talked about individuals, 32 suspects who had shed opinions on social media who are being investigated by police, people who had shed opinions supporting the attack on the prime minister. he said police would apprehend and interrogate them. he called on all in society to calm down and to not be keyboard warriors and there was that question which you will have heard asking the interior minister if this would prompt more action against the media. the interior minister replied to that saying it was important that people could disagree but respect different opinions. so, that is the latest from bratislava on the attack
12:45 pm
yesterday on roberto fico, the prime minister who remains in hospital seriously ill with multiple gunshot wounds and what we were told were extensive injuries as a result of that gun attack and a response as well from his cabinet to the implications of this attack. we will bring you more details from slovakia as we get them. but now we are going to the united states... lawyers will resume their cross—examination of his former lawyer and fixer michael cohen at mr trump's criminal trial in new york. in court on tuesday, mr trump's lawyers tried to portray mr cohen as being bitter and untruthful. donald trump's former fixer, who made the payment to a porn star, stormy daniels, at the centre of the case, will be cross—examined for a third day. meanwhile donald trump has accepted president biden's challenge, to hold two debates before november's presidential election. the two front runners for the white house will go head—to—head on the 27th ofjune
12:46 pm
and on september 10th. let's go live to new york now and speak to cbs news correspondent jarred hill. good to see you, let's talk about the court first of all and as we mentioned, further cross—examination of michael cohen by donald trump's defence team. what can we expect? so, we are expecting again for the defence forformer so, we are expecting again for the defence for former president trump to continue going after michael cohen's credibility full stop and remember, he in a lot of ways is the prosecution's key witness in this case which centres around the allegation of the form of hasn't been involved in this scheme to falsify business records, that he says were written down, to say that they were legal fees to pay michael cohen. michael cohen and the prosecutors say those were actually reimbursements the payments to stormy daniels. all of this wrapped up stormy daniels. all of this wrapped up again in the allegation that this was done to sway the election. so we are expecting for the defence to continue chipping away at michael
12:47 pm
cohen's credibility, saying that he is someone who is not only a habitual liar but also a convicted lyre, has lied under oath. as well as someone who has a personal vendetta against former president trump and just wants to see him go to jail. so, again, we have to wait and see whether or not the jury believes michael cohen enough to convict once this case is handed over to them.— convict once this case is handed over to them. and let's talk about those debates _ over to them. and let's talk about those debates which _ over to them. and let's talk about those debates which have - over to them. and let's talk about those debates which have been i those debates which have been scheduled as well stop for those of us especially outside the united states, think it feels a little bit like a parallel universe there, you have donald trump embroiled in this criminal trial while at the same time, these debates ahead of the present or election are being set up. present or election are being set u . _ ., ., present or election are being set u . . ., ., , present or election are being set u l , ., ., , " ., up. yeah, and it is kind of interesting _ up. yeah, and it is kind of interesting because - up. yeah, and it is kind of interesting because the i up. yeah, and it is kind of. interesting because the trial actually is playing a part in the debates in a way. yesterday, in this video that president biden put out on social media, he said let's find a date to schedule, how about wednesdays, i hear you are free? that is reference to wednesday being the day that traditionally court is
12:48 pm
not in session. we know this debate has been scheduled, the first at least, for late june has been scheduled, the first at least, for latejune which is expected to be after this trial has wrapped up. meanwhile, again as you mentioned, we have these two debates which are now set. a couple of things that are different with these, though. one, there is not going to be a studio audience, there is not going to be that ability the supporters or detractors from either side to boo or cheer, influencing the way this thing flows. we are hearing, at least from the biden administration or campaign, they would like to see the ability for the moderators at these debates to turn off the microphone of the person whose time has run out, again an effort to try and stop some of the over talking that we see often time in these and really get to the brass tacks, the facts of these two arguments we'll be hearing from these individuals. former president trump has said he wanted to see two additional debates, the biden team has so far rejected that notion.
12:49 pm
these are also notably happening significantly earlier than usual, september and june. the reason for thatis september and june. the reason for that is that early voting here in the united states, although the election itself isn't until november, early voting opens as early as september so making sure these debates have as much of an impact as they will on voters who seem to be pretty entrenched with their respective candidates. jarred hill, thank their respective candidates. jarred hill. thank you — their respective candidates. jarred hill, thank you very _ their respective candidates. jarred hill, thank you very much. - their respective candidates. jarred hill, thank you very much. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.
12:50 pm
president volodymyr zelensky visits kharkiv, ukraine's second—largest city that has come under relentless russian missile attacks over the past weeks and the administrative capital of the region targeted by a russian ground offensive. writing on social media, president zelensky said the situation in the area "remained extremely difficult" and ukraine was moving reinforcement to kharkiv
12:51 pm
region to repel russian attacks. while in kharkiv, president zelensky said he chaired a meeting with top military commanders. let's speak to vitaliy shevchenko from bbc monitoring. tell us more about this visit by president zelensky to kharkiv along with members of his war cabinet? that is correct and it is a pretty brave thing to do given the intensity of russian attacks on this very important ukrainian city and what volodymyr zelensky said about the situation being extremely difficult but under control currently, just tells us how carefully he is trying to word his statements to the public. but the public in ukraine will know that kharkiv, the current focus of russian attacks, and when it comes
12:52 pm
to what has been going on there, we have heard reports about russian forces making marginal but important gains across the border and kharkiv is just one hour's drive away from the russian border. currently, the most intensive fighting centres on a town called off chance, to the north—east of kharkiv —— vovchansk. russian forces have captured parts of it, the hospital possibly and ukrainian interior minister has said there is evidence, reports of russian troops in vovchansk executing civilians who are desperate to escape, desperate to fully. i desperate to escape, desperate to full . ., desperate to escape, desperate to full . . ., ., ., ., fully. i wanted to ask about that, vitali , fully. i wanted to ask about that, vitaliy. about _ fully. i wanted to ask about that, vitaliy, about those _ fully. i wanted to ask about that, vitaliy, about those reports - vitaliy, about those reports specifically. has there been any verification of those reports of the

12:54 pm
armaments reach ukrainian forces there. but on the other hand, ukraine will be fighting desperately to hold this advance. that's partly the reason why volodymyr zelensky visited kharkiv to give reassurance, both to troops defending kharkiv and also to reassure civilians still in the city. and it is a huge city, almost 1.5 million people live there before the war.— before the war. vitaliy, thank you very much — before the war. vitaliy, thank you very much that — scientists in britain say they have proved the theory of einstein's about the way matter plunges into black holes. they have identified for the first time the plunging region, the scientists say it is an exciting development which shows
12:55 pm
matter responding to gravity in its strongest possible form. it also settles a long running debate among astrophysicists. let's take you back to bratislava where that news conference is continuing. that is the slovak interior minister that you are looking at there, we heard from him earlier as well as the slovakian deputy prime minister talking about the latest on the condition of slovakian prime minister roberto fico who was shot yesterday multiple times. the deputy prime minister saying the injuries caused by the bullets extensive while the prime minister was in a stable condition, he wasn't beyond risk. hello again. low pressure has been in charge of our weather as we've gone through this week, and today, once again, it's going to do the same. in fact, for the next few days, we are looking at spells of warm sunshine. but there'll be some rain around, some heavy showers
12:56 pm
which have the potential to be thundery. so this is the low pressure driving our weather. we've got this weather front wrapped all the way around it and, currently, it's producing some rain. rain especially across parts of the south—east, east anglia, into the midlands. and it's drifting westwards into wales through the day. now, to the south of that, we're looking at some bright spells, some sunshine, but heavy showers. to the north of it, a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine, but you could still catch the odd sharp shower across north—west england, in through parts of northern ireland and western scotland. temperatures, widely, 13 to about 20, 21 degrees. but we could well see 23 or 2a somewhere in the highlands. now, through this evening and overnight, the rain will continue to push through wales and clear. more low cloud, mist and murk will come in from the north sea and we'll have some clear skies. so here, too, you could see some patchy fog form. temperatures falling away between seven and about ten degrees. so for some, slightly lower than last night. so a fresher start to the day tomorrow. tomorrow, essentially, is going to be a day of sunshine and some showers.
12:57 pm
not all of us, of course, will see the showers. and at times, we'll have some haar and also some fret coming in from the north sea just lapping onshore. temperatures tomorrow, not too dissimilar to today. again, we could see a 23 somewhere in the highlands, 21 in london, 22 in glasgow. so then as we head on into saturday, well, we've got rain coming into the south, and through the day, that's going to be drifting westwards. it will turn more showery, but it could still be heavy, with some thunder in it. further north, we're looking at some brighter skies. still some low cloud, mist and murk coming in from the north sea. some sunshine as well. temperatures — 12 to about 22 degrees. then as we move on into sunday, we've got more of a north—easterly flow and that's going to drag in more low cloud, mist and murk from the north sea. but it will be largely dry. you could catch the odd shower across southern england at times. there'll be some sunshine as well. and these are our temperatures.
12:58 pm
so coming down in the north—west. we're looking at a range, 11 to 20.
12:59 pm
today at one... labour's six pledges — the party lays out key steps it would take if it wins the general election. sir keir starmer�*s promises include more teachers and shorter nhs waiting lists. these are our first steps.
1:00 pm
they enable us, if you like, to look the public in the eye and say, "this is our down payment on change." a man is charged with attempted murder after the shooting of slovakia's prime minister, who is still in a serious condition in hospital. here in devon, growing anger about the outbreak of a sickness bug caused by drinking contaminated water. and the royal photos that tell the story of 100 years — we visit a new exhibition. and coming up on bbc news, it's the 12th title in 13 seasons for celtic. they beat kilmarnock to seal the scottish premiership in some style.
1:01 pm
hello, welcome to the bbc news at one.
