of the group, but defending champions england have home advantage at st james's park. hello there. the us election campaign has moved into uncharted territory, after donald trump's criminal conviction. the former president, in a long and at times rambling speech, angrily attacked his opponents, claiming his trial was rigged. the biden campaign says the speech was confused and desperate. it follows mr trump's unprecedented guilty verdicts on all 3a counts over falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to a porn star. he'll be sentenced injuly and could face jail, though legal experts believe a fine is more likely. he made it clear he'll appeal. so, what impact could all this have on the presidential election in november?

o'donoghue live in new york, thank you. well, as we've been hearing, despite being a convicted felon donald trump can still run for the white house. but what impact could his case have on voters in november's race? nomia iqbal gauges reaction in cobb county, just outside atlanta, in the key swing state of georgia. far away from new york, in the quiet suburbs of georgia, it's voters who will be donald trump's most importantjury. rachel is an independent voter who leans republican. that's right? really, he's guilty? they found him guilty? guilty on all 34 counts. all 34 counts. donald trump's now been convicted. does that factor in to how you will vote in november? i did not have any idea that he... i honestly did not think he would be convicted. just because, i know that sounds ridiculous, but he's got away with everything else so far! we already knew he was a bit of a liar and a cheat kind of before he got in! would you like biscuit, or we can do a roll?

rory once didn't back donald trump. and i saw a newsflash that donald trump was potentially running for president. and i looked at the tv and i went, "no!" she does now, and says this guiltyjudgment makes her an even firmer supporter. polls before the verdict suggested 25% of republicans would feel the same. so for you, donald trump has still got your vote? oh, yes, definitely. and i think he had everyone's vote to win in 2020 as well. a different view elsewhere in the city. conservative couple ron and mickey are on their regular date at the spa, momentarily disrupted. wow. what's your reaction, ron? i'm not surprised at all. because i think that he was guilty as well. but i'm... i'm pleased, yeah. i am. mickey did vote for mr trump, but doesn't plan to now. it doesn't, however,

mean a win for mr biden. it won't make me want to vote for him, and it won't make me want to vote for trump. i don't think we have very much of a... a choice, in a person that's strong enough to lead our country. many also think a conviction could boost mr trump's credibility. he'll probably be back in office. why do you think that? it's the south. it's the south! come on vacation, you come to georgia on vacation, you leave on probation. and in the south, i honestly don't think they really care too much. georgia will get to have a say on donald trump twice — once at the polls in november, and at his election interference trial. the date of that is not yet clear. nomia iqbal, bbc news, georgia. to british politics now. sir keir starmer says the veteran labour mp diane abbott is free to stand

today, launching plans for a new public company — gb energy — to help speed up the transition to net zero. but first, chris mason has been speaking to the snp leader. there's been no shortage of this — a merry—go—round in the scottish national party this spring. one first minister out, a second first minister in. hello. and now there's a general election. so, forjohn swinney today, meeting and greeting on the southside of glasgow, followed by a speech in the city's east end, and his pitch... we have demonstrated that decisions made in scotland are decisions for scotland, and that's the choice that people in this election have. he had a pop at the conservatives... austerity, brexit, the cost of living crisis, for all these reasons, the tory government deserves to be removed from office and the best way to do that is to vote snp to remove the tory mps in scotland, all six of them, at this election.

..and there was a pop at labour, too, criticising their promise not to put up income tax, national insurance and vat. they've signed up to the tight fiscal limits of the tories, they've signed up to tight borrowing. that is austerity on steroids. and look who was 30 miles away in greenock at around the same time. the labour leader, rather keen on nabbing a whole load of snp seats. the snp say they want you to vote to send a message. i don't want you to vote to send a message. i want you to vote to send a government. and he set out one of his key ideas, which would be based in scotland. great british energy. that publicly owned company, owned by the taxpayer, making money for the taxpayer, harnessing clean power. i mean, he's been talking i about his net zero ambitions, but yet again there is no substance.

there's no ideas, no policy, there isjust a logo, - and the british people deserve a lot more than that _ scotland is critical to the liberal democrats. we have four mps, we think we can get many more after the election. we can beat a lot of the snp mps. the snp has been in government in scotland since 2007. senior party figures, including the former first minister nicola sturgeon, have been under police investigation over the party's finances, and with the prospect of another independence referendum any time soon appearing to recede, how is he managing? yes, it's been an absolutely whirlwind month, you know... and so... let's be blunt. times are pretty tough for the snp. do you feel that? of course. and that's frankly why i'm here. it's why you're interviewing me, as snp leader, because of those tough times. and i've stepped in to build the snp and to build trust in the snp. does it feel like managing decline? no. it feels like building the party up, and that's what i'm about.

we've undoubtedly had a rough period. you've said today that it is important, to quote you, to get rid of the tories. we are in second place in each constituency, so if we want to numerically get rid of the tories in scotland, people just need to vote snp. isn't the easiest way for people in scotland to get rid of the tories to vote for labour? but then people have got to ask themselves, who is going to make the bigger impact in westminster? what happens here in scotland on july the 4th matters wherever you're watching. chris mason, bbc news, in glasgow. labour says its green energy plans, will ensure the uk's transition away from oil and gas, doesn't repeat the mistakes, from the phase—out of coal. but the snp says the proposals, would put scottish jobs at risk. simon's here with me.

over the last 30 years renewable energy has been a success story. last year 40% of our electricity was generated by renewables. labour are targeting 100% by 2030. to help hit that target, labour wants to create something called great british energy. so what would that be? a government—owned energy company, headquartered in scotland, funded with £8.3 billion. how is that paid for? labour say by further raising taxes on oil and gas companies — something the lib dems back. those companies will not be granted any new licences to develop fossil fuels in uk waters — although existing grants will be honoured. labour claim it will help the uk decarbonise electricity production by 2030, make the uk less reliant on energy imports and price shocks while driving down household bills by £300 by the end of the next parliament. many experts feel the 2030 target is unrealistic. billions will need to be spent and recouped through bills which could offset these lower prices. putting the hq in scotland is telling as it is the centre

of both the offshore wind and the oil and gas industry. the snp say labour's veto on new oil and gas would risk 100,000 jobs in scotland, while the conservatives put the number at 200,000 across the whole uk, and say it's foolish to import more than we have to. labour dismiss these numbers, saying that existing licences mean oil and gas production will continue for many years while thousands of newjobs would be created in renewable industries. labour originally planned to spend £28 billion per year on green projects and the greens and scottish greens say whittling that down to £8.3 billion for the parliament lacks ambition and urgency. labour says its investment plans have been scaled back thanks to the worsening public finances they will inherit if they are elected. and remember, 75% of our total energy needs still come from fossil fuels. all the main parties want a greener future but how and how fast to get there is one of the clearest dividing lines between them.

simonjack, our simon jack, our business simonjack, our business editor. the time is 18:17. our top story this evening... donald trump vows to appeal his criminal conviction, venting against the judicial system, as american politics enters uncharted territory. and the spelling bee champ, who spelt out 29 words, in 90 seconds. coming up on bbc news... there will be an englishman lifting the champions league trophy tomorrow. jude bellingham's real madrid are looking to win it for a 15th time. they are up againstjadon sancho's borussia dortmund at wembley. ahead of the election, we're hearing from our political reporters right across the uk, finding out what the most pressing issues are in their local areas. tonight, we're in leicester in the east midlands with tom parker, but first, from selby in yorkshire, let'sjoin richard edwards,

outside selby abbey. richard. yes, welcome to itself in north yorkshire, a county where traditionally on election night, the conservative vote was way rather than county, such was the tory dominance here. but it appears some cracks have started to show in that control, the first when the party nearly lost control in the first ever elections to the new north yorkshire council, then nearly a year ago, where i'm standing now in the seat of selby and ainsty, labour overturned the massive conservative majority, thenjust overturned the massive conservative majority, then just a few weeks ago, labour won the first ever north yorkshire mayoral election. never discount the conservatives, there are still really strong here, but other parties fancy their chances too. up the road in harrogate over the liberal democrats are eyeing a seat, the greens are doing well after a breakthrough on the north yorkshire council elections, and reform are busy at grassroots level and fancy their chances as well. it will be in the early hours ofjuly

so to make things a little easier for you, we've just launched this — election 2024: the headlines on iplayer. every evening you'll be able to watch a short but perfectly formed summary of the day's key election news. germany has nowjoined america in giving ukraine permission to use western supplied weapons to strike some military targets inside russia. it comes amid growing alarm over russian gains around the northern ukrainian city of kharkiv. the kremlin is now accusing nato and america of "provoking a new level of tension". jean mackenzie has the latest from kyiv. this is what ukraine has been so desperate to stop — an onslaught along its north—eastern border. russia has been able to bombard the city of vovchans'k with impunity, launching attacks from russian soil then seizing ground. overnight, it struck an apartment block in the region's capital, kharkiv, 20 miles from the border. at least six people were killed.

elena's husband and mother were inside and are still missing. president zelensky has pleaded to be allowed to properly defend his country by using nato weapons to strike russia. washington has finally agreed, but with strict limits. ukraine can only target russian positions along the kharkiv border. this is some step forward to that goal which we discussed before, to make the possibility to defend our people who live in the villages through the borderline. but russia is pushing on multiple fronts. earlier, the united states hinted that having changed his mind once, president biden could do it again. we will continue to do what we have been doing, which is, as necessary, adapt and adjust. since the start of the war,

president biden has been weighing up on one hand his support for ukraine and on the other, the need to stop this escalating into an even bigger conflict between russia and the west. he has been nervous about how moscow, with its nuclear weapons, would respond to this move. but as the situation on the battlefield has changed, so too have mr biden's calculations. the us has changed the rules of this grinding war. russia, despite its many threats, has yet to make its next move. jean mackenzie, bbc news, kyiv. the family of a man and his 12—year—old son who died after going missing while hillwalking in glencoe have paid tribute to a "caring and loving father" and an "energetic, loving boy." the bodies of tom parry, 49, and his 12—year—old son richie, were recovered on wednesday evening. police scotland said their deaths were being treated as the result of a fall.

several hundred households in the village of bramley in surrey have been told not to drink their tap water. thames water says there's been a possible deterioration in the quality "in some areas". there have been concerns for several months about a fuel leak from a nearby petrol station. a man in birmingham has become the first to receive a personalised vaccine to treat bowel cancer as part of a landmark trial. thousands of nhs patients across england are expected to receive the bespoke treatments, which are designed to help the immune system identify and destroy remaining cancer cells left behind after other treatments. fergus walsh has that story. elliot was diagnosed with bowel cancer last year and has already had surgery and chemotherapy. but tests show he still has fragments of tumour dna in his blood, putting him at increased risk of his cancer coming back. hello, it's here. so he's come to birmingham's queen elizabeth

hospital to receive a cancer vaccine. i feel excited, you know? and if it's successful, then it's a medical breakthrough. the time of reckoning! and this is the key moment when elliot receives his vaccine, tailor—made in germany by pharma company biontech to fight his cancer. he'll get up to 15 doses during the trial. so how does it work? elliot's personalised vaccine uses the same mrna technology as found in current covid jabs. a sample of elliot's tumour was analysed, and proteins unique to his cancer were identified. the vaccine instructs his cells to produce those rogue proteins. the hope is this will stimulate elliot's immune system to recognise and kill any remaining traces of cancer. how are you? elliot is the first patient in the uk to get

the bowel cancer vaccine. he's had only mild side effects, but will be carefully monitored, like more than 200 other participants in the international trial. i think it's really exciting. i think this is sort of a new era. the science behind this makes sense. my hope is that this will become standard of care. itjust makes sense that we can have something that can actually help in addition, to help patients reduce their risk of cancer recurrence. first one done. there is huge optimism about the potential of personalised cancer vaccines, but it all depends on the outcome of trials like elliot's, with thousands more patients set to be recruited to studies targeting melanoma, lung and other tumour types. fergus walsh, bbc news. britain's oldest surviving second world war veteran is preparing to play his part in the 80th anniversary of the d—day landings. donald rose, who's 109,
