this is bbc news. i am martine croxall. the headlines. the us supreme court rules former president donald trump is partially immune from prosecution for actions taken while he was in the white house. it is the final week of uk election campaigning and rishi sunak tells the bbc it's not over till it's over. marine le pen's party comes out on top in the first round of snap french elections. england celebrates but now midfielderjude bellingham is being investigated by uefa over a gesture he made after scoring his late equaliser against slovakia. the us supreme court has ruled donald trump is partially immune from prosecution for actions taken while he was in the white house over his attempt to overturn the result

of the 2020 election. the former president describe the decision as a big win. our north american editor sarah smith explained what this decision means a. first sarah smith explained what this decision means a.— decision means a. first off, it means it _ decision means a. first off, it means it will _ decision means a. first off, it means it will be _ decision means a. first off, it means it will be now - decision means a. first off, it - means it will be now significantly harderfor means it will be now significantly harder for prosecutors to bring their case against donald trump for election interference in the generous six riot. in that case, john trump is charged with conspiring to obstructjoe biden being certified as president —— january 6 right. this ruling has said specifically some of the things that would have forced part of that case are covered by immunity and therefore cannot be prosecuted. things like the conversations he had with his vice president mike pence when he was pressuring him to use the ceremonial role to overturn the election results. that cannot be part of the case any more. other things that would have formed part of that case, like whether or not donald trump cited the january 6 right with that speech he gave to supporters outside the white house, it's now going to have to be argued out in the lower court as to whether

or not he was acting in his official capacity as president and therefore whether that is covered by immunity. he himself is delighted with this. he himself is delighted with this. he has described it as a big win. and the three liberaljudges on the court who disagreed with this ruling, they are clearly furious. justice sotomayor wrote in her opinion this means that the president is now like a king, above the law, and that it means presidents could do things like order the assassination of a political rival or except bribes in exchange for a pardon and not face any prosecution for it. this is a religion of good ruling. the most immediate effect will be to the delaying of the three court cases donald trump still facing —— this is a significant ruling. that means we almost —— it will be impossible to be heard before the election. sarah smith. be heard before the election. sarah smith- let's — be heard before the election. sarah smith. let's speak— be heard before the election. sarah smith. let's speak to _ be heard before the election. sarah smith. let's speak to a _ be heard before the election. sarah smith. let's speak to a former us circuitjudge. thank you fairy much

take for example the document retention case. all of that was based upon acts after mr trump left office, so this decision has nothing to do with that. it's hard to know exactly how it would affect the georgia prosecution, which is in a bit of a shambles anyway, it has nothing to do with the new york prosecution for business records falsification, which is purely private, so mr trump has plenty of his share of legal problems ahead of him. ., , .,, his share of legal problems ahead of him. ., , him. your book, as we said, is the president who _ him. your book, as we said, is the president who would _ him. your book, as we said, is the president who would not - him. your book, as we said, is the president who would not be - him. your book, as we said, is the president who would not be king, him. your book, as we said, is the - president who would not be king, and yet we havejust president who would not be king, and yet we have just a sonia sodha milieu saying the president is now 18 above the law. —— justice sonia sodha so so to mayor... there are plenty of officials immune. _ so to mayor... there are plenty of officials immune. she _ so to mayor... there are plenty of officials immune. she is _ so to mayor... there are plenty of officials immune. she is immune. |

today and tomorrow, i'm following the two men who want to be your prime minister this weekend and for the next five years. i'll be talking to labour's keir starmer tomorrow. here we go, last few days. first stop, stoke—on—trent. it's rishi sunak today, as both men embark on a masochistic hurtle around the uk before polling day. so, onto the battle bus for the first visit. welcome to the bus. thank you. this a business that distributes medicines. the production line of campaigning has a similar regularity, too. visits like this are a chance to make his pitch to workers in a relatively controlled environment. applause here we go. here he comes. and take a listen to rishi sunak�*s tone and emphasis. a vote for the conservatives is notjust a vote to stop a supermajority, but it's

also a vote to make sure that we will fight for you. i will fight for you. i will make sure that your voice is heard. right? that is what this is about. and crucially, i will keep cutting your taxes. prime minister, listening to you talking to the workers just now, it sounded like you had given up. no, absolutely not. i'm talking to as many people as i can across the country. talking about a supermajority. yeah, what i was saying to people is i don't want anyone to sleepwalk into thursday because there is a danger of a labour government that i want people to be alive to. and the choice for everyone on thursday is a vote for the conservatives, which will mean their taxes continue to get cut, we will get migration down and secure our borders, pensions will be protected. a vote for anyone else is just going to get the precise opposite of those things. you and your campaign have talked in the last few days about the irreversible damage that a labour government could do and do very quickly in power, and there will be many people who might share that fear, but if you believe that, why did you call the election six

months earlier than you needed to? you could have governed as a conservative prime minister for another six months before this moment. i think people deserve a choice. and my priority when i became prime minister was to deliver economic stability, and we have done that, inflation is down from 11% back to normal, wages are rising, the economy is growing faster than our competitors, and taxes are starting to be cut. cheering and applause this is the week where all the leaders return to their big pitch. here is sir keir starmer, miles ahead in the opinion polls, in hitchin in hertfordshire. and, look, the sun isjust about shining, this is the summer, and we have one job, which is to make this a summerof change. but perhaps rishi sunak can take inspiration from the last—minute heroics of the england team last night. is there a rishi sunak equivalent of ajude bellingham overhead kick that we're going to see in the next 48—72 hours to radically change what looks like

the scoreline could be? mine is probably more a kind of flashy, i don't know, cover drive, or off drive, or something instead. a cricket—themed answer for rishi sunak as the road trip trundles on. next stop, warwickshire. chris mason reporting. the liberal democrat leader has been proving he has a head for heights. in his latest stunt, sir ed davey performed a bungeejump. he's urging voters to take a similar leap of faith and back his party on thursday. iam asking i am asking people to do something many people they've never done before and which is vote liberal democrats this coming thursday. we are finding lifelong conservative is considering us, they don't want to vote conservative, some young people who have not voted before, saying do something you've never done before, i have taken the plunge! the snp leaderjohn swinney

says his party will always put the interests of scotland first. on a visit to peterhead fish market in aberdeenshire, he said the conservatives will lose decisively to labour and urged voters to back his party. what people in scotland need to think about is, what protection do they want to make sure that scotland's interests are taken forward in the next parliament? and snp mps will always put the interests of scotland first. they will fight against austerity and the spending cuts the labour party is going to deliver, and they will make sure that scotland has a future that's made in scotland, for scotland. he is the man who saved the game for england at the euros last night with a last goal. but nowjude bellingham is being investigated for a gesture he made after his very late equaliser against slovakia. uefa says it's looking into a "potential violation" of the basic rules of conduct. jude bellingham says it was an inside joke with some friends at the game.

andy swiss sent this report. helped on. and it's in! jude bellingham! it was the 95th minute miracle which saved england's euros. that bellingham bicycle kick... salvation! ..looks more remarkable with every viewing. a moment of brilliance from bellingham. in dortmund this morning, fans were trying to recreate his moment of magic. difficult to do, but very easy to appreciate. cheering jude bellingham only had one attempt, but i think i did it better! when the ball comes in, you don't expect someone to score with an overhead kick in the 95th minute. and you just see the ball hit the back of the net and you're like... it was just euphoria, like, so good. bellingham, though, is now being investigated by uefa for making a "crude gesture" after scoring his goal. in a social media post, he said it was an inside joke towards some close friends who were at the game, adding he had nothing but respect

for how the slovakia team played. england were back training at their base today, knowing if it wasn't for bellingham's goal, they wouldn't still be here. jude, golden boy again with the overhead kick, to keep us in the game, keep us in the tournament, but we never say die, and that's what it was last night, a roller—coaster, but we got over the line. well, the england fans here in germany will now be making their way to dusseldorf for a quarterfinal on saturday, and after coming so close to elimination, what drama will they get next? might be a shooting opportunity, straight away! in switzerland, they are up against a side who have just knocked out the holders, italy. england will need to raise their game, but their star player, whose goal stole the headlines... and it's in! ..is now once again under the spotlight. andy swiss, bbc news, dortmund.

president macron is joining together with political opponents of france's hard right to try to block them from securing a parliamentary majority in elections next weekend. the national rally came top in the first round yesterday. now, more than 150 candidates who came in third place from either the left or centre have agreed to step aside which means a single opponent will face the hard right party next sunday. our paris correspondent andrew harding reports. paris, the day after, and for many here, a profound sense of shock. "it is like having a hangover," says sandrine, a legal assistant, of yesterday's election results. "people are fed up with politics," says carolyn, "so they are turning to the extremes. it is like the plague". "when the far—right comes to power, it holds on to power," warns veronique. they're all talking about this

woman, marine le pen, whose party — the national rally — took the lead in sunday's vote. if the surname is familiar that's because her father, jean—marie le pen, was a notorious far—right politician, a racist and anti—semite. but his daughter has softened the national rally�*s image and platform and, last night, won big across the nation. her party's populist, anti—immigrant, eurosceptic message, and its 28—year—old candidate for the prime minister's job, finding broad appeal. formerly, it was more people that were workers in complicated economical situations. now, you have also white—collars voting for national rally, you have women voting for national rally, you have young people. meanwhile, france's president is in trouble. no wonder it looked like emmanuel macron was trying to hide yesterday. his election gamble has backfired. his centrist party on track to lose heavily. so, what of plans

to block the far—right from sweeping to victory? this afternoon, different parties began arriving at parliament aiming to forge a united front against the national rally. but the divisions are all too evident. the leader of the green party here, brought to tears of frustration during this debate. france is still digesting the shock of yesterday's election result. love it or loathe it, the national rally is now at the heart of france's political mainstream. more than that, it is the most powerful party across the country. but can it translate that into enough seats in parliament to win outright? if it can, france will be changed utterly. andrew harding, bbc news, paris.

hurricane beryl, which is closing in on the caribbean, is being called "potentially catastrophic" by weather forecasters, and people who live there are making emergency preparations. the hurricane is heading towards barbados; it's the most powerful hurricane ever recorded injune. our reporter thomas magill has the story. the eye of the storm — this is hurricane beryl, seen from space heading towards the caribbean. in barbados, where it's expected to hit first, people are being advised to stock up and stay home. a warning many are taking seriously. i have my extra foodstuff, my batteries, my battery lights and so on, so i'm well prepared. the windows are already secured, boarded up, everything like that. and we've got all the water and everything secure in the house. across the caribbean, residents have been boarding up their homes and businesses, stocking up on fuel, and battening down the hatches as forecasters describe this now category three hurricane

as extremely dangerous. we're expecting multiple life—threatening hazards with beryl as it moves through the windward islands. we have the potential for catastrophic wind damage, with the eyewall of a major hurricane moving through the area, especially between saint vincent and grenada, including the grenadines. this part of the world is well—used to storms, but this is the strongest on record forjune. in saint vincent and the grenadines, people have been ordered to stay at home and have been told to prepare for the worst. i want everybody in saint vincent and the grenadines to take this matter very seriously. there are some persons who are hoping for the best, but we all have to prepare for the worst. for now, the sea is calm, but people here know that won't last, with hurricane beryl expected to hit these islands later today. thomas magill, bbc news.

let's return to the french elections. president macron is joining together with political opponents of france's hard right to try to block them from securing a parliamentary majority in elections next weekend. let's speak to nabila ramdani, a french algerian journalist and the author of fixing france: how to repair a broken republic. thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. what do people say to you in reaction to the result yesterday? there was certainly an awful lot of shock and indeed anger. as far as the exit polls came out, and propelled marine le pen and departed the national rally in the lead, with 34% of the vote share, you could already see people taking to the streets and gathering around the main squares in paris to protest against this result, but dare i say, there is not much of a surprise. the national rally has been pulling extremely well for a long time, not least of all in the recent european

parliamentary elections, only three weeks ago, but i think you have to take these results with a bit of a caveat. the vote share for the national rally was undoubtedly highly significant, but it's not a decisive result, as we know. what ultimate accounts is the seat share, and we will know about that next sunday, so what we need to out is how this massivo chair will translate into seats won actually in the 577 seats in the national assembly in paris —— massivo chair. what sort of reflection will the parties, critically those in the middle of politics, need to be doing in the next six days was not because it is quite clear that a message is being sent to them from the electorate?— being sent to them from the electorate? , ., , ,., , ~ electorate? yes, absolutely. ithink there's a lot — electorate? yes, absolutely. ithink there's a lot of _ electorate? yes, absolutely. ithink there's a lot of this _ electorate? yes, absolutely. ithink there's a lot of this vote _ electorate? yes, absolutely. ithink there's a lot of this vote towards i

there's a lot of this vote towards there's a lot of this vote towards the far right, a lot to do with the disillusionment with macron's government in particular. he is constantly referred to as the president of the rich, effectively looking after the elite, after the establishment, while millions of french people disillusioned and alienated, and they are pressing concerns, such as the cost of living, the youth unemployment, which is extremely high, but also climate change, globalisation and such, major issues of the sort. i think what propelled the vote of the, for the extremes, is fixation on themes such as identity and immigration, which are legitimate to a certain extent, but this discourse has been stirred up at the extremes by the media, notjust mainstream media but the social media, and

there is a stench of urgency and try to lock the far right out from gaining power and that is why you see calls coming from the president himself, urging his candidates, as part of his coalition, to be strategic about it and deal and sort of deal, sorry, with the leftist coalition of the new popular front, to try to keep the far right out in the second round. it's often referred to as the republican front and it's designed to make sure that the national rally and the far right in general stays well out of power. let's see what happens next sunday. nabila ramdani, thank you very much forjoining us. the wimbledon tennis championships got under way today, and we are still waiting to hear if andy murray will be fit enough to play tomorrow, following his recent back surgery. but defending champion carlos alcaraz is comfortably through to the second round, asjoe wilson reports. welcome back. you're all invited. but there are only special guests

in wimbledon's royal box. david made way for david. beckham stepped back, attenborough took the ovation. deep respect for the longest careers. andy murray, dressing on his back, was driving himself through practice, striving to be fit for one more chance to play. well, it is easier when you're 21. defending champion carlos alcaraz. in the first round, he was up against mark lajal, a distinctive estonian, playing his first ever grand slam match and enjoying it. what an overhead that is. there were rallies to stretch the champion. ultimately, alcaraz won enough of them to take the match in straight sets. that's brilliant! he then said centre is the most beautiful court he plays on, which went down well. good start. three years ago, on the outside courts here, there was a sudden buzz of attention,

a player winning matches. it was the first time we'd really heard the name emma raducanu. well, a lot has happened since then. she's rebuilding after injuries. an opportunity on centre, raducanu's schedule seeded opponent was ill, so she played mexico's zarazua. a tight match, though. raducanu trying to revive the spirit of 2021. joe wilson. a nine—year—old fundraiser missed out on a royal garden party ended because he got in traffic, the palace promise to rearrange for another time. traffic, the palace promise to rearrange foranothertime. now traffic, the palace promise to rearrange for another time. now the campaigner has had a special moment and met the queen stop daniela relph reports. with buckingham palace as the venue, the invitation to summer garden parties are sought after. hosted by the king and queen, the guest list is dominated by those who've made a contribution to charity and the community.

but on the 8th of may, for this garden party, a very important guest was missing. tony hudgell was due to be there. he had suffered life—changing injuries due to abuse as a baby and had both legs amputated. his fundraising had got him onto the garden party guest list, but it didn't go to plan. during the journey to london, tony and his family posted on social media, "stuck on m20 for the last two hours, won't be making the king's garden party". buckingham palace saw the post and replied, "sorry to hear this, tony, we were looking forward to seeing you, too. fancy trying again another day? leave it with us". and true to their word, they rescheduled. really nice to get you here today. we thought we'd give you a special garden party. i was supposed to go to a garden party. but we got stuck in traffic. my mum put out a tweet. the queen's team said, "so sad that you didn't make the garden party today".

we found out that i was having a private one with another person called lyla. lyla also joined tony for the personal party with the queen. she has a rare brain tumour and was in hospital on the day she was due at the palace. we couldn't come to - the garden party last month because i was in hospital. we sat round the table i and just chatted for a bit. we had some little cookies, - some sandwiches and, like, tea. and for tony, there was something extra to celebrate. over tea, the queen presented him with his british empire medal awarded for his work towards preventing child abuse. the youngest—ever recipient of the honour on a very special day. daniela relph, bbc news. got there in the end. join me again at ten o'clock on the bbc news channel. coming up now, the weather

with darren. hello there. we've seen a good deal of cloud heading our way today, bringing with it some rain here and there as well. and, really, through the rest of this week, it's very changeable. not particularly what we'd expect at this time of the year — cloud, some rain at times, mainly in the west, a cooler breeze keeping temperatures below average as well. and it's notjust on the cooler side here in the uk. you can see from the temperature anomaly map, we've got the cooler blues across many parts of europe. the hotter weather is more across eastern areas and temperatures may build a bit across iberia. but our weather is going to be coming in from the atlantic, which is why western areas will see most of the rain. we've had this band of cloud here on this weather front. it's been taking some rain eastwards today, mainly affecting the northern half of the uk. that weather front will be weakening overnight tonight, taking some thicker cloud, more across eastern and for a while southern parts of england, with a little rain here and there but not very much. clearer skies will follow towards the north—west, in scotland and northern ireland, and here, we could see temperatures perhaps in rural areas as low as seven or eight degrees.

temperatures will be higher where we've got that cloud across eastern parts of england. in the morning, it could still produce a little light rain or drizzle here and there. elsewhere, there'll be some sunshine for a while, cloud will bubble up. we'll see more showers breaking out across the northern half of the uk, perhaps merging into longer spells of rain in the afternoon in western scotland and later into northern ireland. and that will limit the temperatures here to around about 16 degrees, but could make 20 again across southern england and south wales. and it shouldn't feel too bad here. but we've got more weather systems coming in from the atlantic overnight and into wednesday, stronger winds behind that as well. now, that's going to leave us with quite a messy picture, i think, on wednesday — a lot of cloud, some rain from time to time, nothing particularly heavy or prolonged. and for scotland and northern ireland, it'll be followed by some sunshine and some showers as well. and again, those temperatures reaching 16, i7, possibly 18 degrees. but that's a little below average, certainly for this time of the year. low pressure running to the north of the uk will bring some stronger winds on thursday. the next system may well bring some rain into england and wales,

the southern half of the uk. the position of that rain could change, but essentially, through the week, it's still rather mixed weather. temperatures are disappointing for the time of year. there'll be some sunshine in between the cloud and the rain.

hello, i'm lewis vaugthones. you're watching the context on bbc news. donald trump does get absolute immunity for the acts he carried out as the officeholder — but there are those acts that he carried out as office—seeker, which do not get immunity. i think this is a disgraceful decision. you know, we have six republican appointees on the court who claim to be originalists and textualists — this decision has nothing to do with origionalism or textualism. pretty remarkable expansion . of the powers of the president, i because this the first time we'vei ever had on the books, you know, firm supreme court precedent. establishing any sort of criminal immunity for a president for any of their actions. immunity for donald trump — kind of. the supreme court has ruled that the former president —
