it's a road map to an enduring ceasefire and the release of all hostages. this is a moment for all sides to take the deal. and i think they're dangling that wording about a permanent ceasefire in front of hamas, but i'm not sure it's going to be enough to bring them back. another ceasefire proposal is on the table in the middle east. president biden says israel's offered a new proposal to hamas which would see an initial six—week pause in fighting while talks would continue on a permanent ceasefire and rebuilding plan for gaza. we'll have the latest from washington, dc. also tonight, billionaire businessman, past president, now convicted criminal — donald trump's hit out at the us justice system after a jury in new york found him guilty

in his hush money trial on thursday. today, he delivered a rambling response to the verdict. we'll look at what comes next legally and politically. and after days of uncertainty, labour leader sir keir starmer says diane abbott can run on his party's ticket. and we'll bring you up to date with everything else that's been happening on the campaign trail here in the uk. for weeks now, there have been talks and antipication around a ceasefire deal to end the conflict in gaza, and for weeks, those talks and that anticipation has led to nothing. could there be a breakthrough tonight? president biden has been speaking in the last few hours. he said israel had submitted a comprehensive, new proposal for a ceasefire to end its war with hamas. the plan would involve the withdrawal of israeli troops from populated areas of gaza as well as the release of israeli hostages. mr biden said the proposal has been

sent to the palestinian side, and he urged hamas to accept it. let's hear some of president biden�*s speech. for the past several months, my negotiators and foreign policy and intelligence community and the like have been relentlessly focused notjust on a ceasefire that would inevitably be fragile and temporary, but on a durable end to the war. that's been the focus, a durable end to this war — one that brings all the hostages home, insures israel's security, creates a better day after in gaza without hamas in power and sets the stage for a political settlement that provides a better future for israelis and palestinians alike. president biden speaking earlier at the white house. with me now is our middle east

correspondent hugo bachega. what is different in this new proposal that's come from israel? because of course for weeks now we have been hearing of different offers and deals from both sides. yeah, so this proposal is very similar— yeah, so this proposal is very similar to _ yeah, so this proposal is very similar to a _ yeah, so this proposal is very similar to a proposal that was put forward _ similar to a proposal that was put forward by— similar to a proposal that was put forward by egypt, which has been acting _ forward by egypt, which has been acting as — forward by egypt, which has been acting as a — forward by egypt, which has been acting as a mediator in these negotiations. so it is a 3—phase progosat — negotiations. so it is a 3—phase proposal. the first phase is a six-week— proposal. the first phase is a six—week cease—fire that will lead to the _ six—week cease—fire that will lead to the release of some of the hostages _ to the release of some of the hostages who are now being held in gaza _ hostages who are now being held in gaza and _ hostages who are now being held in gaza. and that would seat negotiations happen for a permanent cease-fire. _ negotiations happen for a permanent cease—fire, so we know that yesterday hamas said it would not engage _ yesterday hamas said it would not engage in— yesterday hamas said it would not engage in negotiations before the end of— engage in negotiations before the end of the war, and we have seen that here — end of the war, and we have seen that here in — end of the war, and we have seen that here in israel, the prime minister— that here in israel, the prime minister benjamin that yahoo has rejected _ minister benjamin that yahoo has rejected any idea of a permanent cease-fire — rejected any idea of a permanent

cease—fire in gaza before the end of the war _ cease—fire in gaza before the end of the war so — cease—fire in gaza before the end of the war. so and before he could achieve — the war. so and before he could achieve the goals of the war. so it's very— achieve the goals of the war. so it's very interesting that this plan has been — it's very interesting that this plan has been announced by president biden _ has been announced by president biden he — has been announced by president biden. he did not mention prime minister— biden. he did not mention prime minister benjamin that yahoo, and also we _ minister benjamin that yahoo, and also we know this is likely to be unpopular— also we know this is likely to be unpopular with some supporters, far i’ili'it unpopular with some supporters, far right supporters of the prime minister— right supporters of the prime minister who have rejected the idea of reaching a deal with hamas. they say that— of reaching a deal with hamas. they say that the — of reaching a deal with hamas. they say that the war must continue until hamas— say that the war must continue until hamas is— say that the war must continue until hamas is defeated and also until all the hostages are freed because they say that— the hostages are freed because they say that military pressure is the only way— say that military pressure is the only way to bring the hostages back. and i_ only way to bring the hostages back. and i think— only way to bring the hostages back. and i think the president described this deal— and i think the president described this deal is a truly historic moment, _ this deal is a truly historic moment, and he said that he urged hamas— moment, and he said that he urged hamas to _ moment, and he said that he urged hamas to accept this deal. he said that this _ hamas to accept this deal. he said that this deal was presented to hamas— that this deal was presented to hamas by qatar come is also been acting _ hamas by qatar come is also been acting as _ hamas by qatar come is also been acting as mediators in this negotiation.— acting as mediators in this negotiation. acting as mediators in this neuotiation. . ,., ., ., negotiation. and so, hugo, what comes next _ negotiation. and so, hugo, what comes next in? _ negotiation. and so, hugo, what comes next in? we _ negotiation. and so, hugo, what comes next in? we wait - negotiation. and so, hugo, what comes next in? we wait for- negotiation. and so, hugo, what comes next in? we wait for a - comes next in? we wait for a response for hamas?-

on thursday afternoon, on day two of their deliberations, thejury in new york found mr trump had covered up a hush money payment to former adult film star stormy daniels. his sentencing is set for the 11th ofjuly. he could face prison, but legal experts say a fine is more likely. just four days later, on the 15th ofjuly, he'll be officially crowned as the republican candidate for the election at their national convention. in so many ways, it's unprecedented and unpredictable as the us heads towards an election just months away. we'll discuss the fallout with our panel of experts shortly, but first, we start with this report from gary o'donoghue in new york. the breaking news — donald trump, guilty. a watershed moment in this nation's history. the first former president - of the united states convicted on criminal charges. america woke up to news this morning that few would ever have imagined.

a country that holds itself up as an example to the rest of the world, now with a former president who is a criminal. inside this iconic building that launched the extraordinary political career nearly ten years ago, donald trump vowed to fight on. this is a scam. this is a rigged trial. it shouldn't have been in that venue. we shouldn't have had thatjudge. eight years ago, donald trump famously said he could shoot someone right here in the middle of fifth avenue and not lose voters. now he really is a criminal multiple times over, those voters may well get their chance to prove him right or wrong. staten island was the only one of new york's five boroughs to vote for the quintessential new yorker donald trump in both 2016 and 2020. commuters arriving from the island for work today were remaining loyal. i love trump. why?

because he's going to make america great again. what do you think of the conviction? he's still going to be president. still going to be president. i've got to get to work. joe biden's out. and you say convicted felon, i don't know what this jury was thinking. i think people are still going to vote for him anyway. - according to the trump campaign, more than $34 million was raised from small donors in the hours following the guilty verdict, almost doubling their previous daily record. but half this divided country believes donald trump got what was coming to him. i don't know what to say. i did not think that this was actually going to happen, and ijust can't believe it. it's about time he was held accountable for something. i can't believe it. it's amazing. donald trump will undoubtedly appeal against this verdict, but that won't happen for months.

before that, he'll be sentenced and will enter the final lap of this presidential election with a criminal conviction around his neck. this is uncharted territory in the 250—year history of this country. gary reporting there from new york. we have the perfect panel of experts to react to the guilty verdicts and what they mean for the november election. on the legal fallout — shira scheindlin, formerjustice of the southern district of new york. on what the former president might be thinking — his former communications director bryan lanza. and when it comes to what voters are thinking — who better than professor allan lichtman, whose polling model has successfully predicted the winner of every us presidential election since 1984? what a panel. right, we will start

with the legal stuff next. we heard from mr trump today as we have been saying pretty rapidly. could not make sense of all of it, but he claimed that the courts and the legal system was rigged. he says he wants to appeal the verdict, so what could happen next in terms of what measures he might be able to take given that he is very unhappy? yes. given that he is very unhappy? yes, he is very unhappy _ given that he is very unhappy? yes, he is very unhappy and _ given that he is very unhappy? us: he is very unhappy and rightfully so in the sense that he is now a convicted felon on 34 counts, 34 crimes. so the next thing that happens is the sentencing onjuly the 11th. you don't file the appeal until after the sentence, and to decide this senates, the judge gets a lot of input. the probation department sends a report. each side's lawyers get to ask for the sentence i think is appropriate. people write letters and support and against, and thejudge considers people write letters and support and against, and the judge considers all of the information and then we'll decide what senates to give. and of course everybody wonders if the senates going to include anyjail

time or not? and i don't have a crystal ball, but my guess at the moment is that it will include eight short period injail. i'm guessing somewhere between 3—6 months, but he won't go in to the prison right after the sentence because 100% i'm sure thejudge will give after the sentence because 100% i'm sure the judge will give him what is called bail pending appeal so he will immediately file his appeal and thejudge will so you will immediately file his appeal and the judge will so you can remain out until after the appeal is done and the appeal could take a year or two because there are two levels of courts, maybe three to which he can appeal. first, he appeals to the appellate court in new york and then to the high court in new york, the new york court of appeals, and that he might even try the supreme court if he loses in the two other courts. so what we're looking at then because we can anticipate given what we have heard from him today that he is likely to file an appeal is that we head towards the presidential election, likely to be anointed the

candidate at the republican national convention injuly, and he has this or these appeals at various levels of the us court system hanging on the background. so we could be appealing even when he is potentially in the white house. filth. potentially in the white house. 0h, not could be. _ potentially in the white house. oi not could be, he potentially in the white house. ©“i, not could be, he will be filing an appeal immediately after the senates. there is no question about that, and, yes, it will take him past the election, well past. if he wins, he would be president while his appeal is before three quarts. 0k, his appeal is before three quarts. ok, thank you very much. now it have you spoken to mr trump or those close to him since the last 24 hours? , ., , close to him since the last 24 hours? , ., ., ., ,, i. ., hours? first of all, thank you for havin: hours? first of all, thank you for having me- _ hours? first of all, thank you for having me. i've _ hours? first of all, thank you for having me. i've not _ hours? first of all, thank you for having me. i've not talked - hours? first of all, thank you for having me. i've not talked to - hours? first of all, thank you forj having me. i've not talked to the president — having me. i've not talked to the president directly but i have spoken with leadership of the campaign. and what are with leadership of the campaign. what are they with leadership of the campaign. jific what are they saying? with leadership of the campaign. and what are they saying? listen - with leadership of the campaign. and what are they saying? listen cam - with leadership of the campaign. and what are they saying? listen cam ofl what are they saying? listen cam of is a manhattan _ what are they saying? listen cam of is a manhattan jury _ what are they saying? listen cam of is a manhattan jury in _ what are they saying? listen cam of is a manhattan jury in the _ what are they saying? listen cam of is a manhattan jury in the state - is a manhattanjury in the state of new york— is a manhattanjury in the state of new york and a manhattan jury in the state of— new york and a manhattan jury in the state of new york and the stretched loss of— state of new york and the stretched loss of the _ state of new york and the stretched loss of the for this from day one and dissipated it. that's what you

pleasant in cumbria, but there was a chilly wind blowing. some of the strongest winds have been here in norfolk, gusting 40 mph. the wind off the north sea making it feel quite chilly. and around the edge of this area of high pressure, this is where we've got the strongest of the winds that's been bringing a lot of cloud to some eastern parts of england. a little rain earlier as well, but that's moving away. we're still going to hang on to some cloud for eastern areas of the uk overnight. one or two spots of rain heading down across eastern parts of scotland. but further west, we're going to have clearer skies and lighter winds as well. it could turn a little chilly, 6—7 degrees firs thing in the morning. heading into tomorrow, and it will warm up in the sunshine and there'll be more sunshine across east anglia and the south—east of england, should be dry here as well. a bit more cloud, though, coming down across scotland into northern england and the midlands could bring one 01’ two showers. otherwise, it should be dry. sunny spells for northern ireland, lots of sunshine in scotland. temperatures in the central belt reaching 20 degrees

on saturday afternoon. and across the south—east, it will be a warmer day with more sunshine and the winds not as strong either. the high pressure that's bringing a lot of dry weather is tending to get pushed away a little bit on sunday. and around the top of that high, we're seeing more cloud coming in from the atlantic. that'll bring cloudier skies into scotland and northern ireland, maybe a few spots of rain in the north—west. some of that cloud will push into northern england. but further south, we've got some sunny spells. the winds continuing to fall lighter across south—eastern areas. so it's warming up here further. highs could reach 22 degrees. and still quite warm across north—east england, eastern scotland with some sunshine. not quite so warm in the west of scotland, where we've got all this cloud. and that cloud will push its way southwards overnight and into monday together with that weather front, which is very weak. so there's little or no rain on that. it's more cloud that's moving southwards, followed by sunshine in northern england and scotland and perhaps northern ireland. temperatures reaching 17—18 degrees. further south, even with some cloud, we've still got highs of 20 celsius. but the area of high pressure is getting pushed away, and that's allowing north—westerly

winds to come in. those will be stronger on tuesday. polar maritime air could bring some showers. wintry over the scottish mountains, still warm and dry in southern england.
