the ground as the secret service pile on top of him. theirjob is to put their bodies between him and the shooter. there was panic among the thousands of people inside the rally. many ran, many threw themselves to the ground. donald trump was seen getting to his feet and raising a fist to his supporters. signs of blood at his right ear. we were about ten minutes into donald trump �*s speech and while we were just about to go live on the bbc world service we heard some shots fired, probably a few hundred metres from where we were standing, probably about half a dozen shots we heard. a woman was shouting that someone had been shooting, a guy came by and said that he thought there had been a couple of snipers but he was not sure did it we are just waiting to see if things have cleared and as you can see we are on the ground
6:03 am
behind our car which is not ideal but that is the shelter we have at the moment and that is what we are trying to ascertain, what has happened. i think the speech is stopped, i cannot hear donald trump speaking anymore. as people streamed out of the venue they told us what they had seen. one man, a local business owner, described how he noticed a man he believed to be the shooter climbing onto a low roof nearby. holding a weapon. we noticed the au nearby. holding a weapon. we noticed the guy crawling _ nearby. holding a weapon. we noticed the guy crawling bear— nearby. holding a weapon. we noticed the guy crawling bear crawling - nearby. holding a weapon. we noticed the guy crawling bear crawling up - the guy crawling bear crawling up the guy crawling bear crawling up the roof of the building beside us. 50 feet away from us. we were standing there and pointing at the guy crawling up the roof. he had a gun? he had a rifle. we could clearly see that. absolutely. we were pointing at him and the police were pointing at him and the police were down there and running around on the ground and we were saying there was a guy on the roof and the police were like hot? they did not know what was going on. president

trum was know what was going on. president trump was taken _ know what was going on. president trump was taken straight - know what was going on. president trump was taken straight to - know what was going on. president trump was taken straight to the . trump was taken straight to the local butler county hospital. shortly afterwards he released a statement paying tribute to law enforcement and expressing condolences for those killed and injured. the statement said "i was shot with a bullet that appears to the upper part of my right ear. i knew immediately that something was wrong and as i heard a whizzing sound, shots and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. the secret service also released a statement which said in part "the suspect shooter flighted fired multiple shots towards the stage from an elevated position outside of the rally venue. us service personnel neutralise the shooter who is now deceased. condemnation was swift. president biden had this to say" we the idea that there is political violence and violence in america like this isjust
6:05 am
political violence and violence in america like this is just unheard of, everybody, everybody must condemn it. of, everybody, everybody must condemn it— of, everybody, everybody must condemn it. , , ~' , condemn it. everybody. i will keep ou condemn it. everybody. i will keep you informed _ condemn it. everybody. i will keep you informed and _ condemn it. everybody. i will keep you informed and if— condemn it. everybody. i will keep you informed and if i _ condemn it. everybody. i will keep you informed and ifi speak- condemn it. everybody. i will keep you informed and if i speak to - you informed and if i speak to donald i will let you know that as well. but so far it appears he is doing well. all well. but so far it appears he is doing well-— well. but so far it appears he is doinu well. �* �* , doing well. at the biden campaign is susendin: doing well. at the biden campaign is snapending its _ doing well. at the biden campaign is suspending its activities _ doing well. at the biden campaign is suspending its activities the - doing well. at the biden campaign is suspending its activities the time - suspending its activities the time being. but donald trump has indicated he plans to go to the republican national convention on monday as planned. in the meantime investigations will continue. everyone asking how could an attempted clinical assassination be part of modern day america? gary o'donoghuejoins us now from pennsylvania. you were there right in the middle of it all, could you tell us what it was like? it of it all, could you tell us what it was like? ., , , , of it all, could you tell us what it waslike? , y y of it all, could you tell us what it waslike? . was like? it was pretty scary. we were not in _ was like? it was pretty scary. we were not in anything _ was like? it was pretty scary. we were not in anything like - was like? it was pretty scary. we were not in anything like as - was like? it was pretty scary. we | were not in anything like as much danger as those at the front of the stage but to be honest when people start shooting you get frightened and that is true of us as it is of
6:06 am
anyone else and what we also saw as people started to stream out and we got to the point where we thought it was reasonably safe to start working again, people were upset and angry, very emotional. somewhere very, very angry indeed and use all their in the peace we spoke to a man who said he tried to warn the security services that he had seen a guy with a gun on the roof and that would be several hundred feet from the stage, with a line of sight to donald trump and i think that is what is going to come out of this. there will be so many questions about the security. it is an outdoor venue and it has a perimeter so why were they not on every low roof around the venue? why had they not checked the roof. how did a man with a semiautomatic rifle get onto that roof and get a clear shot of the former president? it is a shocking shocking moment, i think, in american history. they have had
6:07 am
their political assassinations in their political assassinations in the past. they had them in the 20th century. jfk was shot, ronald reagan, had an attempt on his life. there were attempts on the life of gerald ford as well. but here we are on the 21st century and america is still dealing with political violence at the same time as claiming that it is the exceptional country in the world. that interview ou did country in the world. that interview you did afterwards _ country in the world. that interview you did afterwards with _ country in the world. that interview you did afterwards with the - country in the world. that interview you did afterwards with the witness j you did afterwards with the witness because he seemed to suggest he had repeatedly warned the police that he had seen somebody who he described as armed with a rifle. who is the anger from the crowd being directed at? i anger from the crowd being directed at? ., , , . anger from the crowd being directed at? ~ , , . ., at? i think it is being directed and all sorts of— at? i think it is being directed and all sorts of ways. _ at? i think it is being directed and all sorts of ways. some _ at? i think it is being directed and all sorts of ways. some directed l at? i think it is being directed and | all sorts of ways. some directed at us. someone tried to stop us from broadcasting shortly afterwards, they felt we were being disrespectful and we had to explain we were trying to do ourjob and explained the audience what we did know and what we did not know when
6:08 am
there is still much that we do not know. some people were angry democrats, some people were angry about gun laws. even people who support gun rights in this were talking to us about their bewilderment that a lunatic could get a gun and do something like this. the anger is sprayed all around on the problem, i think, is how it will land and where it will land and what that will mean not just for this election campaign but for the future of this country because there is a sort of inflection moment here where political leadership has a choice, i think, as to how to handle and process this, how to lead the country out of this. if it does not do it right then things could get much worse. it do it right then things could get much worse-— do it right then things could get much worse. it feels like it could be a decisive _ much worse. it feels like it could be a decisive moment _ much worse. it feels like it could be a decisive moment in - much worse. it feels like it could be a decisive moment in terms l much worse. it feels like it could | be a decisive moment in terms of this campaign. what are the likely implications? donald trump, as we know, is a candidate who thrives on these public rallies.— these public rallies. yes, he does.
6:09 am
let's be clear, _ these public rallies. yes, he does. let's be clear, donald _ these public rallies. yes, he does. let's be clear, donald trump - these public rallies. yes, he does. let's be clear, donald trump has i let's be clear, donald trump has thrived on divisive talk. his rallies are attacks on all kinds of people, all kinds of opponents. he has made that that kind of rhetoric past —— part of his stock in trade. no—one deserves to be shot, that is true. no—one deserves to be shot but the question going forward is will this be a moment where that kind of rhetoric is put aside in the interest of people that make keeping the country together or will it be something used to prosecute an election campaign and to a successful conclusion. we just do not know at this stage how the campaign for both democrats and republicans will try to shape this narrative. there are real risks here for this country. real real risks and it is almost impossible to know which way it will go. the
6:10 am
and it is almost impossible to know which way it will go.— which way it will go. the attack has been condemned _ which way it will go. the attack has been condemned by _ which way it will go. the attack has been condemned by president - which way it will go. the attack has i been condemned by president biden, keir starmer has also sent his best wishes to the family saying there is no place for political violence in our societies. no place for political violence in oursocieties. in no place for political violence in our societies. in terms of investigations, clearly it is very intense at the moment but as you said there is an awful lot we do not know. we do not yet know the identity of the alleged shooter, we have not had confirmation of the weapon, we have no idea although there is plenty of speculation around the motive or how he got to the particular location, there are huge questions now for security. where do we go from here in the immediate aftermath of this investigation? the fbi is now in charge. it is a federal crime. there are other crimes but it is basically are other crimes but it is basically a federal crime so the fbi will run it. they will hold press conference in the last half hour or so and have indicated that they are clear they
6:11 am
know the identity of the shooter but they are not prepared to release it at this time. we understand that he did not have any identity papers on him but they are running dna tests. we understand they may be at a property not too far away, maybe an hour from property not too far away, maybe an hourfrom here property not too far away, maybe an hour from here looking for information. they do not have any idea about motive at this stage. we understand he is a young man but we know no more than that. believe you me in the coming hours and coming days people will crawl all over this individual�*s identity, his past, what led up to this because typically people who do this sort of thing do not do it out of the blue. they do it as a result of a pattern of following a candidate, being obsessed perhaps with the political views of a particular candidate. they leave some kind of footprint and that is what people will be looking for and trying to explain how it got to this and how america
6:12 am
was unable to prevent it. thank you very much. i know it has been an unsettling experience for everyone there so we do appreciate your time this morning. if you arejust joining us here on access let me tell you that president trump has been shot at at a rally. a bullet grazed past his ear and there has been bleeding. he has been checked in hospital but has left and it is being described as an assassination attempt. very o'donoghue mentioned that the fbi are leading the investigation and they have just provided an eight. this investigation and they have 'ust provided an eighti investigation and they have 'ust provided an eight. this evening we had what we _ provided an eight. this evening we had what we are _ provided an eight. this evening we had what we are calling _ provided an eight. this evening we had what we are calling an - had what we are calling an assassination attempt against our former president donald trump. it is still an active crime scene, as i mentioned we have a number of agents on scene and we are also working closely with other federal agencies, our state partners and our local police partners as well. again at
6:13 am
this time we are not prepared to identify who the shooter is. we are close to that identification and as soon we are 100% confident in who that individual is we will share it with the press. with that being said also we do not currently have an identified motive although investigators are working tirelessly to attempt to identify what that motive was. to attempt to identify what that motive was-— to attempt to identify what that motive was. ~ , , ., ,, ., motive was. also speaking at the ress motive was. also speaking at the press conference _ motive was. also speaking at the press conference was _ motive was. also speaking at the press conference was george - motive was. also speaking at the i press conference was george bivens from the pennsylvania state police who described the scene. ,. , ., ., scene. let me describe a little for ou scene. let me describe a little for you about — scene. let me describe a little for you about the _ scene. let me describe a little for you about the scene. _ scene. let me describe a little for you about the scene. as - scene. let me describe a little for you about the scene. as you - scene. let me describe a little forj you about the scene. as you know there was a grandstand, a large area with a lot of people there. the former president had come out and begun his speech shortly after six o'clock this evening and within 10-15 o'clock this evening and within
6:14 am
10—15 minutes a number of sounds were heard and it became apparent that shots were being fired in that direction. it was a chaotic scene. law enforcement acted heroically and quickly identifying and neutralising the threat as well as responding to assist the various victims. the very latest, we have received in the last few minutes, vision of donald trump walking down of a plane online. it was released by his director of communication. trump can be seen descending the staircase while an armed agent stands guard. his right ear, which was injured, cannot be seen in the footage. after the bullet went past him in and he stood up and he shouted to
6:15 am
the cloud to fight, fight, as he was bundled off the stage — — he was shouting to the crowd. as we've been hearing, president biden has made a televised address, saying he was grateful to hear that donald trump was safe and that political violence was unacceptable. let's hear his words in full. there is no place in the united states of america for this, it is sick, sick. this is why we have to unite the country. we cannot condone this. i want to thank the secret service and all of the agencies, including the state agencies who have ensured that people, and we have ensured that people, and we have more detail to come, relative to others, other people may be in the audience. i don't have a detailed but we will make that available to you. i may be able to come back later on tonight but artist statement. but the bottom line is, the trump rally is a rally he should be able to conduct
6:16 am
peacefully without problems. but the idea, the idea that there is political violence or violence in america like this isjust political violence or violence in america like this is just unheard of, not appropriate. america like this is just unheard of, notappropriate. everybody, everybody must condemn it. everybody. i will keep you informed and if i speak to donald, i will let you know that as well. so far, it appears he is doing well. number one, numbertwo, it will appears he is doing well. number one, number two, it will be thoroughly investigated what has happened to others in the audience. i have some reports but not final reports. every agency in the federal government, i am going back to my phone to speak with the federal agencies that will be put together again and give an updated briefing as we are learning more over the next few hours. thank you very much and i hope i get to speak to you again tonight. we've also had reaction from here in the uk. in a statement on social media,
6:17 am
the prime minister sir keir starmer said he was: "..appalled by the shocking scenes at president trump's rally and we send him just to bring you up to date. donald trump has narrowly survived an apparent attempt on his life, during a rally in pennsylvania. he was rushed off stage with his face bloodied and his fist raised after gunfire cracked through the air. mr trump has said a bullet ripped through his ear. the attacker was shot dead by a secret service sniper. a spectator attending the rally died. president biden has condemned the attack as sick and said there was no place for political violence in america. in terms of the investigation which is fast moving and ongoing, we do not know the identity, motive, the
6:18 am
type of weapon use, this is not yet been confirmed but we will bring you more on the developing story throughout the morning. but first let's go to sally who is in germany for us, ahead of tonight's euro 2024 final. what a day ahead? yes! thank you ve much what a day ahead? yes! thank you very much indeed _ what a day ahead? yes! thank you very much indeed and _ what a day ahead? yes! thank you very much indeed and i _ what a day ahead? yes! thank you very much indeed and i know - what a day ahead? yes! thank you very much indeed and i know we i what a day ahead? yes! thank you i very much indeed and i know we will come back to you if there are any further developments but as you said, we are live in berlin. i bet you recognise what is behind me, the brandenburg gate, this is been on the tvs, and if you have been watching all of the football over the last few weeks and as you said, today really is it. this is the moment. this is the day when the english men's team could and six decades without a major trophy from a tournament. theyjust have to play the favourites, spain, tonight.

6:28 am
some but not as extensive as yesterday and he conceded the mist in dorset, and that is down in the southern eastern areas and around the coast near eastern scotland, there is misty, low cloud and it looks expensive but hopefully it will start to shrink that area of cloud and rain through the day. more dry area around northern central scotland, fewer showers for northern ireland and the rest of england and wales. we start cadi across england in the middle and with fewer showers, there is a smaller risk of showers, there is a smaller risk of showers but there is at risk and the wind is not as strong as it was yesterday but still from the north. temperatures should be higher but around 21 or 22 in the north—west highlands of scotland. as i mentioned, it should be largely dry in berlin. but what about if you are watching at home? just as we have sent showers go through here in the
6:29 am
uk, it should be dry in berlin but here in the uk, watching on the big screens, if you are out this evening, the main thing is it will be quite chilly! it starts warm but temperatures are dropping away because the errors coming down from the north but fine and dry weather, butjust in the northeast of england and southeast of scotland, the rain band is closed by so there could be a few drops of rain. perhaps a cardigan a waterproofjacket. the dribs and drabs are easing away tonight, mist and fog developing but it will clear quickly. a cool night but already knocking on the door of the southwest, the next area of rain coming in tomorrow, that will be a feature of england and wales but it could be a lovely band of rain but it means that parts of scotland in northeast england where we have had the rain all weekend should be drier and warmer. we are bringing you the latest on this developing story —
6:30 am
donald trump has been injured in a shooting at a political rally in the us state of pennsylvania. this is the moment the attack happened. you can hear the pop of shots there in the background. mr trump was rushed off stage with a bloodied face after gunfire rang out. the secret service said that a suspect fired multiple times killing a spectator and critically injuring two others before being shot dead. the former us president was rushed away with blood on his face, after the bullet pierced the upper part of his right ear. in a statin ina part of his right ear. in a statin in a statement on truth social donald trump said the following:
6:31 am
the secret service has issued a statement as well saying that suspected shooter fired multiple shots towards the stage from an elevated position outside the venue.
6:32 am
a lot of questions still to be asked around the security at the event but dominant political figures in the united states have also reacted on social media. the former us president george w bush said this: anotherformer us another former us president, anotherformer us president, barack obama wrote on x: michelle and i wish him a quick recovery. the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi also said:

6:35 am
donald trump was speaking. all of a sudden we heard several loud bangs, loud gunshots and i got pulled to the ground by one of my colleagues. i pulled out my phone and started reporting and understanding the moment that we were in, that there were shots ringing out at a donald trump rally in butler pennsylvania shortly after i popped my head up you could see donald trump raising his fist to the crowd over the secret service agents who are desperately trying to shuttle him of the state quickly. right after that we got into the motorcade and you could hear the motorcade deploying, wanting to stay in place why that was happening. and shortly afterward it was pandemonium at the rally. people were moving all over the place, police were making their way through the crowd. we were trying to figure out what was going on. going over to the bleachers to the left of where donald trump was speaking and i could see blood all over the bleachers. bottles of water,
6:36 am
t—shirts, posters that were just strewn about and police were unrolling yellow crime scene tape around the area and that was where one of the men, one of the men who died tonight was.— died tonight was. earlier in the evenina. died tonight was. earlier in the evening. let's _ died tonight was. earlier in the evening. let's not _ died tonight was. earlier in the evening. let's not forget i died tonight was. earlier in the evening. let's not forget that i died tonight was. earlier in the i evening. let's not forget that this is an absolute tragedy for the family of the victim there, the spectator, the innocent spectator at the event. olivia you would have been to many of these kinds of rallies, i am sure. what was your sense of security at the event and how effective it was?— sense of security at the event and how effective it was? typically like an other how effective it was? typically like any other rally- — how effective it was? typically like any other rally. you _ how effective it was? typically like any other rally. you have - how effective it was? typically like any other rally. you have to i how effective it was? typically like any other rally. you have to get i any other rally. you have to get there hours in advance, you have all of your equipment screamed. secret service usually goes through it. so it takes a lot of time and people wait hours in these lines just to get screen to go through and today was a particularly hot day so people have been waiting since 11 o'clock this morning on the east coast time
6:37 am
to see trump speak at six o'clock this evening. an all—day affair, really. and furrow and i have been through multiple rallies and there was nothing that stood out to me prior to the rally that would say or speu prior to the rally that would say or spell trouble, realistic. but there are a lot of questions that the secret service will have to answer about how this event happened, how the individual was able to get within the perimeter, not within the security parameter but close enough to take a shot at donald trump. many questions need to be answered tonight about the security failure. and what were the spectators there, people attending the rally telling you afterwards about how all this had impacted on them?- you afterwards about how all this had impacted on them? there was a bit of a mixed _ had impacted on them? there was a bit of a mixed response. _ had impacted on them? there was a bit of a mixed response. some i had impacted on them? there was a i bit of a mixed response. some people we spoke to said thank you for being here and we appreciated and how scary it was and sharing in that
6:38 am
trauma but then there was the anger. a palpable anger among the rally —goers as soon as donald trump have been taken away many people turned around and started yelling at the press and the media blaming us saying it was our fault which, you know, being a trump rallies every week it is not unusual to be called fake news, not unusual to be attacked by people who are there and i try to remind them that i am a reporter and i am here and trying to talk to you and understand where you are coming from. that is the point of all of this. so tonight we saw a lot of anger and people turning around and yelling at the media. following them outside the rally after it had concluded and there was some harassment that we witnessed on the way out. so a lot of tension right now in this country willing up especially tonight.— especially tonight. olivia, thank ou ve especially tonight. olivia, thank you very much _ especially tonight. olivia, thank you very much indeed. - especially tonight. olivia, thank you very much indeed. olivia i especially tonight. olivia, thank i you very much indeed. olivia rinaldi from cbs news. this is a breaking news story and we have details just into us. the identity of the shooter
6:39 am
has been confirmed by the fbi as 20—year—old thomas matthew crooks. that is a statement from the fbi this morning. thomas matthew crooks. we know nothing more about him at the moment but that was the identity of the alleged shooter as confirmed by the fbi. earlier on when they gave a press conference alongside other members of the law enforcement in pennsylvania they were saying they were waiting for biometric data to confirm the alleged shooter because they had not had any identity documents on him. clearly they have gone through certain processes and are now confident about telling us that the alleged shooter is 20—year—old 20—year—old thomas matthew crooks. if there are any further relevant details we will bring them to you as they come through to us. let's speak now to our washington correspondent for news nation. just in reaction to that news, first of all, there is
6:40 am
going to be a very fast moving investigation into who this young man is and what his motive may have been. how he got into a position whereby he was within line of sight of the former president. absolutely. so many questions _ of the former president. absolutely. so many questions and _ of the former president. absolutely. so many questions and we - of the former president. absolutely. so many questions and we were - of the former president. absolutely. so many questions and we were on | of the former president. absolutely. i so many questions and we were on sat listening to the first press conference that the fbi gave late this evening, early this morning, rather and they were saying that they did not have enough information and were very hesitant to release the identification of the individual at that time. so they were not willing to go there. this is just information, as you said, that is just coming in where they release the name and the age. there is still a lot of work to do in terms of the motive here which means they are still looking into it and how something like this could happen. the secret service did not participate in the press conference with the fbi and even the official
6:41 am
they are saying it was surprising that this happened outside the security parameter. who creates the security parameter. who creates the security parameter. who creates the security parameter and extensor sets it at the limit. there are going to be so many questions. i know we saw the video tonight of the former president arriving in new york and newjersey down the stairs from his aircraft and then heading to bedminster where he will be in this comes ahead of the republican national convention this week. we don't know if he spoke to —— we do know he spoke to president biden who is now back in washington at the white house so there are so many questions. he white house so there are so many cuestions. . , white house so there are so many cuestions. ., , ., , questions. he was due to be officially confirmed - questions. he was due to be officially confirmed as - questions. he was due to be - officially confirmed as republican candidate at the convention this week. this is likely to have a profound impact on the campaign. do you think potentially it will also have an impact on the ultimate outcome of the election? if is have an impact on the ultimate outcome of the election? it is so hard to say _
6:42 am
outcome of the election? it is so hard to say right _ outcome of the election? it is so hard to say right now— outcome of the election? it is so hard to say right now and - outcome of the election? it is so hard to say right now and i - outcome of the election? it is so hard to say right now and i think| hard to say right now and i think everything was so divisive and is so divisive in our country right now in american politics and they think the temperature was so high, especially at the debate and after all this talk about president biden and his ability to continue in the race. now we look at what is happening with donald trump and this attempted assassination of him tonight. it is just going to change things going forward in terms of how you cover the campaign rallies and also the convention this week. i can imagine we are seeing, however, comments from both side of the aisle, democrats and republicans saying that there is no room for political violence in our country. reallyjust wishing the former president and his family well and keeping them in their thoughts and prayers. so you do see this in a way unifying both parties at this time to have trump and biden speak by phone tonight when they werejust and biden speak by phone tonight when they were just on a stage debating each other, rivals in this race. but all of that goes away. we
6:43 am
know that the former president will be at the rnc this week. they said he will still be there and i imagine his entrance to that, it will add so much more to what this week is and i am sure it will change things very much. thank you very much for your time this morning, kelly. we appreciated quite a lot. just to remind you, breaking news in the last couple of minutes the identity of the alleged shooter has been confirmed to the fbi as thomas matthew crooks, 20 years old. fiur matthew crooks, 20 years old. 0ur correspondent has been looking into this incident. its location what we know so far and he joins us now. joe, in a fast moving new story like this when there is so much speculation on social media it is important to look at the facts as we have them so what can you tell us? absolutely. there is been a lot of images and video on social media and i would not try to go through a few
6:44 am
of them to see what we can say for certain of course more facts have been coming out since we've been doing this as confirmed by the authorities. this is what we know. it is important, this is the first one, this is stage. these three buildings here, just for a sense of the geography, this was a stage where president trump was speaking in these were the three stands behind him. iwillshow in these were the three stands behind him. i will show you quickly. those three buildings there. this is an image shot by one of the onlookers. you see this building here, that is zoomed in, you can see that we have blurred this but that is the body of the shooter who has just been identified in the last few minutes to dig we get a clear sense of geography, the shooter was here and trump was here. you can use google maps to get an idea of the distance, only 130 metres, and that is why these questions are being asked, how did
6:45 am
you get so close? this is the image taken before, and the secret service sniper, you can see him firing back and one more thing to show you quickly. this is another image and we cannot show the full image because it shows someone being shot. we've taken a few key frames and this is, the moment the shots ring out, you can see a figure here, here and here and as the shot is fired, he falls forward and we think this is one of the people hit by the bullet intended for president trump and he was standing here. there is the line. we think that is what happened. this man took one of the bullet intended for president trump, now standing behind the lectern. clearly an intense investigation ongoing. i'm going into the attempted assassination of donald trump. now it's time for click.
6:46 am
snow. icebergs. glaciers. continental ice sheets. if it's white and cold, it's part of the earth's cryosphere... ..and it shouldn't come as a surprise to learn that that is getting smaller. working out what's melting and where is important... ..and up here, nearly 3,500m above sea level, we've come to the high—altitude research station overlooking
6:47 am
the aletsch glacier in the alps. switzerland is home to 1,400 glaciers, of which aletsch is the biggest, and it's here that we find groups of scientists developing new techniques to watch the ice and snow and monitor their retreat. glaciers are water reservoirs that we have, which is important for groundwater replation. i think this is the important fact, but also if you lose this mass, you have instability in the mountains, so you have more landslides ongoing, more erosion. it is also a cause of natural hazards, avalanches, if there's a lot of snow and rock falls and similar things, if there's not enough snow and the ground destabilises. a very important one in terms of the energy transition is the hydropower generation. hydropower generation uses the water that runs down from the mountains —
6:48 am
and if there is not enough water, they cannot generate enough power. and if there is a lot of water, a lot of snow, they actually need to know this in advance to plan the generation. for all this, we of course need to know where the snow is, because that is the water of the future. there are two new methods being developed here to notjust monitor the surface — how much it's melting, how fast the glacier is moving and so on — but also to find new ways of seeing below the surface. these two top antennas are transmitting antennas, and here we have a set of receiving antennas. so they're two different radars. this gives us a different, let's say, angle and perspective, and with this we can get an extra information that otherwise we would not be able to acquire. esther and marcel�*s team is using radar to penetrate deep into the snowpack. now, different formations of ice
6:49 am
crystals reflect the signals back in different ways, revealing the internal structure of the snow, how deep it is and how dense it is. after several weeks of taking measurements on snow cover across the glacier, the team will spend the next few months evaluating that data to discover whether radar really can shape future studies. but from the ground, you can only see so far. to get a wider view, you need the second method and go even higher up than this. the space measurements are needed to cover the area. it is simply impossible to cover a large area like the entire alps with ground—based measurements. konrad's project is training an ai system to predict what will happen to the snow next. the system has been trained on images from esa's sentinel—2 satellite network. these are a mix of optical photographs that we'd see with the naked eye, images in the infrared and some created
6:50 am
using longer wavelength radio waves like marcel and esther�*s ground—based system. what our model effectively does is it creates a time series. the satellites pass over every couple of days, and it's like a very slow motion video of the surface. and we acquire this video and process it. in our case, we have a local snow—depth pattern, and we want to predict, with the help of this sequence and also the new observation, what will be the next snow—depth pattern. now, these techniques are still in the experimental stage. if the teams can improve their methods, then they will no doubt prove invaluable in monitoring how the warming climate is changing snow cover around the world. for example, in greenland we have a huge area where we are looking for supraglacial lakes, we call them, which are lakes beneath the snow. the amount of lakes are giving an indicator also of global warming. and we can detect these lakes actually with radar signals.
6:51 am
they are built up in summer where you have no snow on top, and in winter, where you have the accumulation of snow, you can still see them beneath. in fact, these techniques could be used even further afield. we have radar systems which are observing the venus, for example, and on venus we have a very strong atmospheric contribution, and in order to go through this atmosphere, we need longer wavelengths, radio wavelengths to penetrate through it and then to see or to characterise, really, the surface of venus. venus famously suffered a runaway greenhouse effect that's made it the hottest planet in the solar system — and while earth's greenhouse effects won't be anywhere near as bad, we have to fight its effects. and adrienne murray has been looking at a promising solution back on our world. or at least...| think it is. adrienne: this isn't some faraway planet. these martian—like landscapes

are found in iceland. it could almost be a scene from science fiction. seemingly in the middle of nowhere, these towering machines are guzzling up carbon dioxide, a global—warming gas. so could this much—hyped technology help us fight the climate crisis? mammoth is the world's largest direct air capture and storage facility. what you see here are 12 of our collector containers. when the plant is fully operational, we'll actually have 72 around the plant. that will enable us to capture 36,000 tonnes of c02 every year. it works like a giant vacuum. each of these units is the size of a shipping container and has a dozen powerfulfans sucking in the surrounding air. they pull in an olympic
6:53 am
swimming pool�*s worth of air every a0 seconds. and then, inside, a filter separates the c02. in the atmosphere, its concentration is very dilute. capturing even small amounts requires lots of energy, and mammoth gets both power and hot water from the nearby geothermal plant. for us to do direct air capture effectively and efficiently, we want to make sure that we're using energy that has a low carbon footprint. some would look at this and say, "hang on, where's the industry?" would it not be more efficient to have one of these next to a factory that's actually making the pollution? carbon dioxide tends to just disperse and diffuse in the air. the effectiveness of direct air capture is not dependent on being located close to industrial emitters.
6:54 am
ok, i'll let you show me where the c02 goes. that lowest line here, that's actually the c02 that's coming from those 12 containers outside. these two balloons are a really good visual representation of what, in total, one tonne of c02 looks like. this tower then works a bit like a sodastream, dissolving the pure c02 in water. from the top, we have water coming in, so, like a shower. it's sort of, at home, if you're making sparkling water, same idea. that fizzy water is sent to these igloo—like domes. so here we have one of our injection wells. please come inside. this well is going 700m down into the underground here. the c02 and water is pumped deep into the basalt bedrock, where it reacts and turns to stone. so you've got a couple
6:55 am
of rocks there. exactly, yeah, i'm a geologist, so i brought rocks. this is a fresh basalt here, actually, from one of the last volcanic eruptions here in iceland. you can see there's a lot of porosity in here. here you can see there's a lot of these pores now filled with whitish specks. some of these contain the mineralised c02. and carbfix says that happens pretty quickly. we're not talking about millions or tens of thousands of years. around about 95% of the c02 was mineralised here within two years in the pilot project. this is incredibly fast, geologically speaking. mammoth is climeworks' second commercial plant and almost ten times bigger than the last one, collecting 36,000 tonnes of c02 annually, about the same amount as taking 8,000 petrol cars off the road. but it costs a whopping $1,000 to remove just one tonne.
6:56 am
what do we mean by removing emissions? among its customers are microsoft, h&m and lego. worldwide, more plants like these are on the way, though they'll still only remove a fraction of what's needed. and despite calls to slash our emissions, the c02 we churn out continues to grow. do you think direct air capture can be an effective tool for removing carbon? we release about a0 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere every year, so this won't make a dent into the big problem. but i think you should use all methods and methodologies to fight this problem. what's it going to take to scale it up, bring costs down and make it really impactful? by the end of the decade, we want to be at a cost of capture of $300—400. technology improvements will help drive down costs. a second [ever will be scale.
6:57 am
the team says this is just the beginning. mammoth will soon be dwarfed by another, much bigger plant, project cypress in the united states, which will eventually capture a million tonnes of c02 each year. from mammoth to cypress, we're now looking to break that hundreds of thousands of tonnes of capture capacity a year. i really do believe direct air capture and other engineered solutions are going to be able to get us to the point that we need to to help fight climate change. and that's it for our dive into nature. hope you've enjoyed it, thanks for watching, and we'll see you next time.

7:00 am
as thomas matthew crooks. we'll bring you more as we get it. good morning. we are here in berlin on the day england could make history at the euros. thousands of fans have travelled to berlin in the hope that finally football is coming home. yes and in a tournament full of drama and last minute goals can garther southgate�*s dream become a reality? iam nota i am not a believer in fairy tales but i am a believer in dreams and we have had big dreams but then you have had big dreams but then you have to make those things happen. 0n on balance the second part of the weekend looks a little drier and it should feel a little warmer for most of us but there is still rain around and i will tell you more coming up in around 15 minutes.
7:01 am
it's sunday 14th july, our main story. donald trump has survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in pennsylvania. the former us president said he was shot in the ear after a gunman opened fire. the attacker killed one spectator, and injured two others before he was shot and killed by a member of the security service. in the last few moments, the fbi has identified 20—year—old thomas matthew crooks as the shooter. 0ur senior north america correspondent, gary o'donoghue, was there when it happened and sent us this report. that is a little bit old that chart.... it was a few minutes into donald trump's speech when a volley of shots rang out. gunshots. get down, get down! the former president can be seen clutching at the right side of his head, after that he hits the ground as the secret service pile on top of him. theirjob is to put their bodies between him and the shooter.
7:02 am
there was panic among the thousands of people inside the rally. many ran, many threw themselves to the ground. donald trump was seen getting to his feet and raising a fist to his supporters. signs of blood at his right ear. we were about ten minutes into donald trump's speech and while we were just about to go live on the bbc world service we heard some shots fired, probably a few hundred metres from where we were standing, probably about half a dozen shots we heard. a woman was shouting that someone had been shooting, a guy came by and said that he thought there had been a couple of snipers but he was not sure. we are just waiting to see if things have cleared and as you can see we are on the ground behind our car which is not ideal but that is the shelter we have at the moment and that is what we are trying to ascertain, what has
7:03 am
happened. i think the speech is stopped, i cannot hear donald trump speaking anymore. as people streamed out of the venue they told us what they had seen. one man, a local business owner, described how he noticed a man he believed to be the shooter climbing onto a low roof nearby, holding a weapon. we noticed the guy crawling, bear crawling up the roof of the building beside us. 50 feet away from us. we were standing there and pointing at the guy crawling up the roof. he had a gun? he had a rifle. we could clearly see that. absolutely. we were pointing at him and the police were down there and running around on the ground and we were saying there was a guy on the roof and the police were like "huh?" they did not know what was going on. president trump was taken straight to the local butler county hospital. shortly afterwards he released
7:04 am
a statement paying tribute to law enforcement and expressing condolences for those killed and injured. the statement said "i was shot with a bullet that appears to have hit the upper part of my right ear. i knew immediately that something was i heard a whizzing sound, shots and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin." the secret service also released a statement which said in part "the suspected shooter fired multiple shots towards the stage from an elevated position outside of the rally venue. us secret service personnel neutralised the shooter who is now deceased." condemnation was swift. president biden had this to say. the idea that there is political violence and violence in america like this is just unheard of. everybody, everybody must condemn it. everybody. i will keep you informed and if i speak to
7:05 am
donald i will let you know that as well. but so far it appears he is doing well. the biden campaign is suspending its activities at the time being. but donald trump has indicated he plans to go to the republican national convention on monday as planned. in the meantime investigations will continue. everyone asking how could an attempted political assassination be part of modern day america? earlier our senior north american correspondent gary o'donoghue told us what it was like to be at the event when the shooting happened. it was scary. we were not in anything like as much danger as those in front of the stage but to be honest when people start shooting you start getting frightened. that is as true of us as of anyone else. when people
7:06 am
started to stream out and we got to the point where we thought it was reasonably safe to start working again, people were upset and angry, emotional. some were very, very angry indeed and you saw there in the piece we spoke to a man who said he tried to warn security services that he had seen a guy with a gun on the roof and that would be several hundred feet from the stage with a line of sight to donald trump. i think that is what will come from this, rachel, there will be so many questions about the security in this. it is an outdoor venue so it has a perimeter. why were they not on every low roof around the venue? why didn't they check the roofs? how did a man with a semiautomatic rifle get onto that roof and get a clear shot at a former president? it is a shocking, shocking moment, ithink, in american history. they have had political assassinations in the past, they had them on the 20th
7:07 am
century. we know thatjfk was shot and we know ronald reagan, there was and we know ronald reagan, there was an attempt on his life and attempts on the life of gerald ford as well. but here we are, the 21st century and america is still dealing with political violence at the same time as claiming that it is the exceptional country in the world. we had someone try to stop us broadcasting shortly afterwards. they felt we were being disrespectful and we had to explain that we were trying to do ourjob and explained the audience what we knew and what we did not know and there is still much that we do not know. some people angry at democrats, some were angry about gun laws. even people who support gun rights in this country were talking to us about bewilderment, that, as they put it, a lunatic could get hold of a gun and do something like this. anger is sprayed all around and the problem is how it will land and the problem is how it will land and where it will land and what that will mean notjust for this election
7:08 am
campaign but for the future of this country because there is a sort of inflection moment here where political leadership has a choice, i think, as to how to handle this and how to process this. how to lead the country out of this and if it does not do it right then things could get much worse. let us be clear, donald trump has thrived on divisive talk. his rallies are attacks on all kinds of people and all kinds of opponents. he has made that, that kind of rhetoric part of his stock in trade. no—one deserves to be shot, that is true, no—one deserves to be shot but the question is, going forwards, all this be a moment where that kind of rhetoric is put aside in the interest of keeping the country together or will it be something that is used to, if you are like, prosecute an election campaign to a successful conclusion? wejust do not campaign to a successful conclusion? we just do not know at this stage.
7:09 am
how the campaign, both democrat and republican are going to try and shape this narrative. but there are real risks here for the country. as we've been hearing president biden has made a televised address, saying he was grateful to hear that donald trump was safe and that political violence was unacceptable. let's hear his words in full. there is no place in the united states of america for this, it is sick, sick. this is why we have to unite the country. we cannot condone this. i want to thank the secret service and all of the agencies, including the state agencies who have ensured that people, and we have more detail to come, relative to others, other people may be in the audience. i don't have a detailed but we will make that available to you. i may be able to come back later on tonight but artist statement. but the bottom line is, the trump rally is a rally
7:10 am
he should be able to conduct peacefully without problems. but the idea, the idea that there is political violence or violence in america like this is just unheard of, not appropriate. everybody, everybody must condemn it. everybody. i will keep you informed and if i speak to donald, i will let you know that as well. so far, it appears he is doing well. number one, numbertwo, it will be thoroughly investigated what has happened to others in the audience. i have some reports but not final reports. every agency in the federal government, i am going back to my phone to speak with the federal agencies that will be put together again and give an updated briefing as we are learning more over the next few hours. thank you very much and i hope i get to speak to you again tonight.
7:11 am
that was president biden saying that he hoped to speak to donald trump at the end they're saying that everyone must condemn this attack and that there will be a thorough investigation. in there will be a thorough investigation.— there will be a thorough investigation. there will be a thorough investi . ation. ., , there will be a thorough investiuation. ., , ., , investigation. in the last few hours the fbi and — investigation. in the last few hours the fbi and state _ investigation. in the last few hours the fbi and state police _ investigation. in the last few hours the fbi and state police held - investigation. in the last few hours| the fbi and state police held estate conference. lieutenant colonel george bivens described the scene. let me describe the scene we had over there. there was a grandstand, a large area with a lot of people there when this unfolded. the former president had come out and begun a speech shortly after six o'clock this evening and within10—15 minutes a number of sounds were heard and it became apparent that shots were being fired in that direction. it was a chaotic scene and law enforcement i believe acted heroically and quickly identified and neutralised the threat as well
7:12 am
as responding to assist the various victims. we can speak to our political correspondent harry farley now. harry, the prime minister has shared a statement on social media, what has he said? good morning, rachel. the news of donald trump �*s shooting coming late in the evening here in the uk and the prime minister posting around 115 in the morning uk time to say that he was appalled by the shocking scenes are president trump's rally and we send him and his family are best wishes. he goes on to say that political violence in any form has no place in our society and our thoughts are with the victims of the attack. foreign secretary who has been meeting with republicans and building relationships with those around donald trump �*steam, he adds that he is monitoring what he describes as a shocking development in pennsylvania. thoughts and best wishes with president trump. reaction still coming in. news of the shooting came through late in the shooting came through late in
7:13 am
the uk. the former immigration, former conservative immigration minister added that democracy is precious and exceptional and attempts to undermine must fail. thank you very much. we will bring you more in the developing story if you're just waking you more in the developing story if you'rejust waking up you more in the developing story if you're just waking up for this on bbc breakfast this morning, the us presidential hopeful donald trump has narrowly survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in pennsylvania. he was rushed off the stage with blood just above his right ear and later said that a bullet ripped through his year. he was seen in hospital afterwards but was seen in hospital afterwards but was subsequently discharged. it is believed to be heading back to his home in new york at the moment. one spectator was killed, two were injured. the alleged shooter was also killed and we now have a few more details of him. the fbi has identified the alleged shooter as
7:14 am
thomas matthew crook's —— crooks, 20 years old and a resident of pennsylvania. he was involved in the assassination attempt and it remains an active and ongoing investigation. plenty more detail to come on that and developments happening as we are on air this morning and we will make sure we are right across everything that comes through to us here. there is another big story however foster talk about today. let's head to sally who is in berlin at the iconic location this morning. yes, this is the location you will recognise, the brandenburg gate, if you have been watching all of the live games on bbc, you would recognise this. this is the big day, the big day of the final and berlin is waking up. we arrived yesterday with many fans and i imagine they
7:15 am
had quite a late night last night and a few sore heads this morning. this is the day where we could and six decades without a major trophy. here's our sports correspondent nesta mcgregor. berlin, a city steeped in history, from the famous wall to other landmarks, plenty to keep english fans busy as they wait to see if their team can also go down in history. ijust think their name's on it now. i know they say that every time, but i really do. on occasions like this, what did you tell the boss? i told him i had a family emergency but i could not miss this once—in—a—lifetime opportunity! i should have been at a wedding with my mrs but this is more important. we have been to 35 different countries following england. | does this feel different? i hope so because ll have no money left! my wife thinks i'm bonkers because i paid 1000 euros for the ticket but they were £2600 online. commentator:
7:16 am
watkins scores! the road to the final has tested the nerves of even the most loyal supporters and now the team has one more challenge to overcome. however, it is at this stage, wembley three years ago, they were beaten by italy. we know what it would mean to everyone at home. we know what it would mean to us as a squad, the hard work that has gone in. notjust this group of players but players that have been with us for the last six or seven years. no secret, we have not won a trophy and every year that goes by, you are more determined to win that. i would stop everything in my career to have a special night and a win. their opponents, spain, have been a standout team of the tournament so far. six wins from six, goals galore and they have a teenager destined for greatness. commentator: the 16-year-old, lamine yamal! _
7:17 am
the barcelona winger has a really had one reason to celebrate in germany — he turned 17 yesterday. he is a potential superstar. obviously the world is talking about him and rightly so. to do what he has done already is nothing short of a miracle. gareth southgate actually said england have to be perfect to beat spain. i know they have exceptional talent all over the pitch but they do give you chances and if we create chances, we hope we can stick one or two away. england arrived in berlin knowing it is one more push, one more sleep, before possibly realising a dream. could sporting immortality beckon? once the talking is done, the two teams will make this journey, up the stairs and onto the pitch and who knows? after 90 minutes, extra time and maybe even penalties, england could make even a piece of their own history. nesta mcgregor, bbc news, berlin.
7:18 am
argue sensing a level of optimism perhaps around the english team? —— are you. have you sensed a shift in what the fans are saying? undoubtedly, because it has not been pretty all of the time but they keep finding a way in difficult moments and situations. gareth southgate's substitutions have worked and with every match, there is a feeling that maybe, just maybe, the name is on the trophy this year. i maybe, just maybe, the name is on the trophy this year.— the trophy this year. i keep saying, if they were — the trophy this year. i keep saying, if they were in _ the trophy this year. i keep saying, if they were in a _ the trophy this year. i keep saying, if they were in a film, _ the trophy this year. i keep saying, if they were in a film, they - the trophy this year. i keep saying, if they were in a film, they would i if they were in a film, they would obviously win but this is not hollywood. yesterday, i spent the day with fans who've made the trip out here, and i even introduced them to some of the squad. they sing. # heyjude, don't make it bad # take a sad song and make it better...# come on england! who is supporting england?
7:19 am
lam! woo—hoo! it is coming our way, it is coming home. trust me, it is coming home. come on england, come on! can you send a message to the nation, perhaps tojude and gareth, what would you say? do it for us all! bring it home! it's our time! do it for england, it is coming home! i'm just happy to be seeing happy faces, good energy and joining i in with that. to be honest, i don't really like southgate. why not? too defensive. but he has done well this time. he got us to back—to—back finals but when we were 1—0 down, he plays more attacking and we play really good football so if he starts like that, it will be really good. chanting.
7:20 am
i haven't watched england abroad for 2h years and i've come out of retirement to watch tomorrow because i think we mayjust do it. the wife, it's our anniversary today, and i was on the train from leipzig to berlin and i wished her a happy anniversary! is it your wedding anniversary today? yes. how many years? 11. i hope you get to 12! they sing. # we have been to dusseldorf, berlin # # and the cup is coming home! gareth, it's been a fantastic tournament so far, and the celebrations at the end of the day the other day was sensational, and the passion, that is exactly what i saw on wednesday night and it was fantastic! they sing in spanish.
7:21 am
bellingham is a good player but i don't know these people. this is the manager of england. he is a good manager but but the spanish but the spanish manager is better! they sing. # it's coming home, it's coming home!# come on, england! a final message forjude? they sing. # heyjude, don't make it bad # take a sad song and make it better...# the fans were in fine voice and that was the cardboard cutout of gareth southgate but how is everyone going? he is doing well at managing
7:22 am
expectations and there was a sense perhaps that the expectation was running away with some of the fans at the earlier performances but he says he wants to deliver success for the nation and we know how it can create a sense of national unity and there will be a huge celebration if england can get over the line. he says he doesn't believe in fairytales but he believes in dreams and it would be a dream come true. he has everyone dreaming, hasn't he? many messages coming in. fine he has everyone dreaming, hasn't he? many messages coming in.— many messages coming in. one from the prime minister, _ many messages coming in. one from the prime minister, one _ many messages coming in. one from the prime minister, one from - many messages coming in. one from the prime minister, one from the - the prime minister, one from the prince of wales, on social media yesterday saying to go out and make the nation proud and show the world what you can do. that is what they will be trying to do and everyone is invested. we have seen adele watching england and we have seen edge cheering at the —— thing ed sheeran at the training camp and everyone is saying they want to see england get over the line. yesterday
7:23 am
we had a team _ england get over the line. yesterday we had a team meeting _ england get over the line. yesterday we had a team meeting talking - england get over the line. yesterday l we had a team meeting talking about the fact the team would stay at a hotel which was a secret location last night. we were not even allowed to know where it was. it did not surprise me that within an hour, all the news channels were live at the hotel and there was a giant crowd to england trying to keep it quite like a last night and it did not work. it did not work! hand a last night and it did not work. it did not work!— a last night and it did not work. it did not work! and it is not low-key back here either. _ did not work! and it is not low-key back here either. people _ did not work! and it is not low-key back here either. people where - did not work! and it is not low-key i back here either. people where they are going to watch, many people hoping to maybe watch it outside finding gardens, pub gardens as well. so how will the weather go with all of these plans? it well. so how will the weather go with all of these plans?- with all of these plans? it may actually play — with all of these plans? it may actually play ball— with all of these plans? it may actually play ball for— with all of these plans? it may actually play ball for a - with all of these plans? it mayj actually play ball for a change. fingers crossed, by this evening, less rain and more dry weather. the thing i noticed, it isjust chilly in the evenings and the pollen
7:24 am
levels are high and even though the rain is around, they are very high many parts of southern england and wales and northern ireland and scotland, where we are seeing most of the sunshine today. we do have the rain and we had double the amount we would see throughout your for parts of the northeast and it's still raining. you can see it is starting to ease away and this is this area of low pressure, with us yesterday and today but slowly pulling away. look, the rain is slowly easing as the day wears on. for scotland, yes, misty around the sutherland coastline and into aberdeenshire, but hopefully it is lifting and we will see more sunshine and we could see up to 23 no highlands. patchy rain centrally, but it was stayed quite cool along the coast. further south, but it was stayed quite cool along the coast. furthersouth, not but it was stayed quite cool along the coast. further south, not many showers as yesterday, just a few and hopefully lighter. that means for wimbledon, for the final day of
7:25 am
play, it should be fine and dry. just a small chance of shower and overin just a small chance of shower and over in germany as well, mostly dry. if you are sitting out and about this evening, mostly dry but you will need a jumper. it will be chilly. the rain looks like it will be after midnight so that is good news and that will be heavy and thundery. in between, more mist and fog and it will clear quickly this time of year but if you are up early, you will see that. tomorrow, the low pressure pulls away and will get dry and brighter weather for north of england and eastern scotland and we will switch the wind direction, a better looking day across england and wales. mixed fortunes again but i am hopeful that most places will have some decent dry weather this evening, even if it is drizzling, it should be like rain. , , ., is drizzling, it should be like rain. , ., ., ., rain. good news, we will hold on to
7:26 am
that! we are bringing you the latest on this developing story — donald trump has been injured in a shooting at a political rally in the us state of pennsylvania. this is the moment the attack happened. you can hear the sound of gunshots there. mr trump was rushed off stage with a bloodied face after gunfire rang out. the secret service said that a suspect fired multiple times from an elevated position, killing a spectator and critically injuring two others before being shot dead. the former us president was rushed away with blood on his face, and later posted online saying that a bullet had ripped through the skin of his ear but he was "doing well". the white house says the president has since spoken on the phone with mr trump. joe biden also gave a brief televised address saying there is "no place in america for this kind of violence". donald trump has since left the local hospital and will attend
7:27 am
the republican national convention next week as planned. a video of mr trump walking down the steps of his plane unaided in newjersey, has been shared on social media by his deputy communications director. the fbi has identified 20—year—old thomas matthew crooks as the subject involved in the attempted assassination. eyewitnesses who were at the rally spoke to our correspondent gary o'donoghue after the shooting. we were pointing out the guy, crawling up the roof. find we were pointing out the guy, crawling up the roof.— we were pointing out the guy, crawling up the roof. and he had a run? we crawling up the roof. and he had a gun? we could — crawling up the roof. and he had a gun? we could theme _ crawling up the roof. and he had a gun? we could theme with - crawling up the roof. and he had a gun? we could theme with the - crawling up the roof. and he had a i gun? we could theme with the gun, absolutely. — gun? we could theme with the gun, absolutely. we _ gun? we could theme with the gun, absolutely, we were _ gun? we could theme with the gun, absolutely, we were pointing - gun? we could theme with the gun, absolutely, we were pointing at - gun? we could theme with the gun, absolutely, we were pointing at him and the police are out there running around and we were like "hey, man, there is a guy on with a rifle!" and they acted like they didn't know what was going on. and we think we could see him on the roof, right here, crawling! next thing you know,
7:28 am
i'm thinking to myself, why is trumpet still speaking and not getting told to get off the stage. —— donald trump. i'm standing here for two or three minutes in the secret service are looking at us and i'm pointing out the roof, standing like this, and next thing you know, five shots rang out. the like this, and next thing you know, five shots rang out.— five shots rang out. the sad thing about this is _ five shots rang out. the sad thing about this is this _ five shots rang out. the sad thing about this is this is _ five shots rang out. the sad thing about this is this is not _ five shots rang out. the sad thing about this is this is not our- about this is this is not our country _ about this is this is not our country. this is the country it is going _ country. this is the country it is going to — country. this is the country it is going to but this would not happen in a country before. yeah, we have had assassinations before but this is crazy _ had assassinations before but this is crazy i— had assassinations before but this is crazy. i have served in the military— is crazy. i have served in the military and i'm not going to lay blame _ military and i'm not going to lay blame because it could be a rogue shooter, _ blame because it could be a rogue shooter, we don't know that, but if this is— shooter, we don't know that, but if this is a _ shooter, we don't know that, but if this is a political game, this stuff has to— this is a political game, this stuff has to stop. this is a political game, this stuff has to stop-— has to stop. incredibly vivid descriptions _ has to stop. incredibly vivid descriptions from _ has to stop. incredibly vivid descriptions from people i has to stop. incredibly vivid descriptions from people at has to stop. incredibly vivid - descriptions from people at the rally. earlier we spoke to cbs news reporter olivia rinaldi, who was at the rally
7:29 am
when the shooting happened. we were expecting a different announcement and in expectation of that, i went to maybe five feet from where he was speaking and then we had several loud gunshots and i got pulled to the ground by one of my colleagues and i put up my phone and started reporting, understanding the moment, really, that we were in, that there were shots ringing out. at a donald trump rally in butler, pennsylvania. shortly after, i popped my head up and you could see donald trump raising his fist over the crowd over the secret service agents trying to shuffle him off the stage. and then he got into the motorcade and departed. we had to stay in place for that was happening in shortly after, it was pandemonium, people were trying to exit and moving all over the place. people were making their way through the crowd. chris was trying to
7:30 am
figure out what was going on. and they walked over to the bleachers to they walked over to the bleachers to the left of where donald trump was speaking and i could see blood all over the bleachers. bodies of water, t—shirts, posters that were strewn about and police unfortunately were unrolling some yellow crime scene tape around that area and we could see all the blood, unfortunately that was where one of the men died tonight. that was where one of the men died toniaht. �* , that was where one of the men died toniaht. h ., that was where one of the men died toniaht. �*, ., ., , , ., tonight. let's not forget this is a tra . ed tonight. let's not forget this is a tragedy for _ tonight. let's not forget this is a tragedy for the _ tonight. let's not forget this is a tragedy for the family _ tonight. let's not forget this is a tragedy for the family of - tonight. let's not forget this is a tragedy for the family of the - tonight. let's not forget this is a i tragedy for the family of the victim there, the spectator, the innocent spectator at the event. you would have been to many of these kind of alleys i am sure. what was your sense of security at the event and how effective it was? it sense of security at the event and how effective it was?— how effective it was? it was like an other how effective it was? it was like any other rally. _ how effective it was? it was like any other rally. you _ how effective it was? it was like any other rally. you have - how effective it was? it was like any other rally. you have to - how effective it was? it was like any other rally. you have to get| any other rally. you have to get their hours in advance and have all your equipment screamed. you usually
7:31 am
leave your equipment there early so it takes a lot of time and people wait for hours in these lines to just be screened to go through and today was a hot day so people have been out there since 11 this morning east coast time just to hear donald trump speak this evening. an all—day affair, really and they were thorough about it. they have been sorry in the past and i have been through multiple rallies and there was nothing that stood out to me prior to the rally that would say or speu prior to the rally that would say or spell trouble, realistically. there are a lot of questions that the secret service will have to answer about how the event happened, how the individual was able to get within the perimeter, not within the security perimeter but close enough to take a shot at donald trump. there are many questions that need to be answered tonight about this security failure, realistically. bind security failure, realistically. and what were the _ security failure, realistically. and what were the spectators there, people attending the rally, telling you afterwards about how this impacted on them?—
7:32 am
you afterwards about how this impacted on them? you afterwards about how this im acted on them? ., ., , ., impacted on them? there was a bit of a mixed response. _ impacted on them? there was a bit of a mixed response. some _ impacted on them? there was a bit of a mixed response. some people - impacted on them? there was a bit of a mixed response. some people we i a mixed response. some people we spoke to said thank you for being here and we appreciated and how scary it was and everyone was sharing in that trauma but then there was the anger. a palpable anger among the rally —goers as soon as possible had been taken away many people turned around and began to yell at the press and media, blaming us and saying it was our fault. being at a trump rally every week it is not unusual to be called fake news, it is not unusual to be attacked by people who are there and i turn around and remind them that i am a reporter trying to talk to them and trying to understand where they are coming from and that is the point of this. tonight we really saw a lot of anger, people turning around and yelling at the media and following them outside the rally after everything had concluded and there was some harassment we witnessed on the way out. so a lot of tension right now in this country boiling up especially tonight.
7:33 am
olivia rinaldi who was at the rally where there was what has been described as an assassination attempt on donald trump. a bullet grazed past his ear and there was blood on his face. one spectator was killed, two others were critically injured. this shooter at the screen —— the shooter was at the scene. laura, i imagine you have quickly refocused your programme this morning? it is an enormous and unfolding story in the united states right now and we will be hearing from our teams on the ground in pennsylvania, trying to get more information on what happened in that shocking attack on president trump. we will also ask on what impact it might have on the race for the wild house. we will be joined by nigel ferocious as well as the leader of the house of commons, lucy powell, one of the new cabinet ministers and
7:34 am
plenty else besides. a huge user morning where things are revolving quickly and we will bring you the leaders here on bbc one at nine o'clock. —— a huge news that morning. ourtop o'clock. —— a huge news that morning. our top story, o'clock. —— a huge news that morning. ourtop story, donald o'clock. —— a huge news that morning. our top story, donald trump has been injured in a shooting at a political rally in pennsylvania. the former us president said he was shot in the ear after a gunman opened fire. the fbi identified the alleged suspect as 20—year—old thomas matthew crooks. our correspondent has been looking into the attack, its location and what we know so far. , ., , ., ., ., far. using images from social media that we have — far. using images from social media that we have verified _ far. using images from social media that we have verified we _ far. using images from social media that we have verified we get - far. using images from social media that we have verified we get a - far. using images from social media that we have verified we get a bit i that we have verified we get a bit of an idea of the layout of events that led to the attempt on donald trump �*s life behind this. look at these three buildings. this gives us a sense of the layout. you can see the stands he were the spectators were waiting and where some of them were waiting and where some of them were hit. this is the stage where donald trump was speaking. so we will go here those of the three
7:35 am
buildings. this is the area where donald trump was. returning back now, this is an image, a video that was taken by somebody who was an onlooker didn't look at this building here. this is where the shooter was lying. you can see there are trees identified and as we come in and zoom in here you can see that we have blurred the body of the shooter. coming forward one image you can see those trees i pointed out there and there and this is the building. the shooter was here and donald trump was here. using google maps it is easy to see it is approximately 130 metres perhaps a bit more, the cas a bit further than that but not a great distance and that but not a great distance and thatis that but not a great distance and that is one of the reasons there are so many questions for the secret service about how this was possible, how the shooter got so close with an assault rifle. a few more things to show you. this image was taken from verified video and look on the roof. this is one of the secret service
7:36 am
snipers and in this video we can see him firing back at the wood the assassin. there is donald trump and here is another point to show you, rather gruesome video, rather chilling. this man here, we have pleaded for obvious reasons but when you watch this full video taken from social media you can hear a shot ring out and then while everyone else is slow to react, this figure in the crowd you can see he kills over. he doubles over and falls down far faster than anybody else and we think this is one of the people in the crowd who were hit by one of the bullets which seemed to have been intended for the former president. so using these publicly available videos we get a sense and we can see that he was here. so there is the stage. the building i showed you before is in that direction and this building here, this is where that doubled over man was. we have more of a picture now of the events that led to the attempted assassination of donald trump. $5
7:37 am
led to the attempted assassination of donald trump.— led to the attempted assassination of donald trump. as you can imagine a hue of donald trump. as you can imagine a huge amount _ of donald trump. as you can imagine a huge amount of— of donald trump. as you can imagine a huge amount of footage _ of donald trump. as you can imagine a huge amount of footage and - a huge amount of footage and photographs from a public rally event like that and the fbi is actively asking for people who were there to send in any photographs or videos to help in their investigation. we can speak now to our correspondent in pennsylvania at the scene. jenny, dear give us an idea of the activity going on now? i am just outside the police cordoned, about half a mile away from where the shooting happened and as you can see there are police vehicles here marking the boundary. in the last few minutes we have had confirmation from the fbi about the name of the subject involved in this assassination. they have named matthew crooks who is 20 from bethel park has been named as the subject involved in the shooting. we know one man has died. two men are
7:38 am
injured and are in hospital. president trump received treatment and we understand he is now back at home in newjersey. in terms of how people have reacted, obviously this is a hugely shocking situation. a lot of disbelief and anger as you heard earlier. chaotic scenes as you could imagine. earlier on in the police conference the police chief said that the officer is on the scene reacted heroically. but there are questions around the speed of the response and at the press conference there were questions around the security. was there enough security in place, was a good enough? there are several investigations ongoing so we wait to hear what the conclusion of those investigations.— hear what the conclusion of those investirations. . ~ , ., , . investigations. thank you very much. as ou investigations. thank you very much. as you rightly — investigations. thank you very much. as you rightly say _ investigations. thank you very much. as you rightly say there _ investigations. thank you very much. as you rightly say there are - investigations. thank you very much. as you rightly say there are huge - as you rightly say there are huge questions to be answered around security of that particular event

but as we understand it, donald trump will be heading to the national convention this week where it is expected his candidacy for the presidency will be confirmed. he will be carrying on as far as we have information on it. we will bring you more on the developing story throughout the morning. but there is another huge story for us to talk about today. let's head back to talk about today. let's head back to germany where sonny has managed to germany where sonny has managed to get a few people out of bed early, i see, to get a few people out of bed early, isee, sally. iwonder whether some of them have maybe not been too bad at all yet. i don't know, how are you feeling? good! excited! you _ know, how are you feeling? good! excited! you can _ know, how are you feeling? good! excited! you can tell— know, how are you feeling? good! excited! you can tell they - know, how are you feeling? good! | excited! you can tell they have not been to bed- _ excited! you can tell they have not been to bed. will— excited! you can tell they have not been to bed. will they _ excited! you can tell they have not been to bed. will they win? - excited! you can tell they have not been to bed. will they win? yes! l been to bed. will they win? yes! definitive- _ been to bed. will they win? yes! definitive. goodness _ been to bed. will they win? yes! definitive. goodness me. - been to bed. will they win? yes! definitive. goodness me. will. been to bed. will they win? yes! i definitive. goodness me. will they win? is this the moment? yes! it is

7:49 am
it has been a wet start tojuly, already some parts of the northeast have had twice the amount of rainfall you would expect the whole ofjuly! it is all tied into this area of low pressure, dragging itself away, the low pressure, the wind is not as harsh as it was late yesterday, slightly less wind speed around, but it means misty and murky conditions around the north—eastern coast of scotland. the best of the weather in the north—west, 22, 23, and in the centre eventually brightening up but the northeast still has patchy rain. the odd shower for northern ireland and across england but fewer than yesterday and lighter. there isjust the chance of one or two, sorry, a shower, at wimbledon, but it should stay up need 23. very pleasant. high

good morning, welcome to breakfast with rachel burden. our headlines today: gunshot and screaming gunshots are fired at a donald trump rally as the former president is rushed offstage. mr trump says a bullet hit his right ear — the shooting is being investigated as an assassination attempt. we can clearly see his rifle. in the last few moments the suspect has been identified as thomas matthew crooks.
8:00 am
we'll bring you more as we get it. good morning, we are here in berlin on the day england could make history at the euros. # heyjude... # thousands of fans have travelled to berlin in the hope that finally, football is coming home. yes, and in a tournament full of drama and last minute goals — can gareth southgate's dream become a reality? i'm nota i'm not a believer in fairy tales. but i am a believer in dreams. we have had big dreams, but then, you have had big dreams, but then, you have to make those things happen. the second part of the weekend looks a little drier and achieve a little warmerfor most a little drier and achieve a little warmer for most but still a little rain around, i will tell you more in
8:01 am
around 15 minutes. it's sunday 14th july, our main story. donald trump has survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in pennysylvania. the former us president said he was shot in the ear after a gunman opened fire. the attacker killed one spectator and injured two others before he was shot and killed by a member of the security service. the fbi has identified the suspect as 20—year—old thomas matthew crooks. our senior north america correspondent gary o'donoghue was there when it happened and sent us this report. that's a little bit old... just a few minutes _ that's a little bit old... just a few minutes into _ that's a little bit old... just a few minutes into donald - that's a little bit old... just a - few minutes into donald trump's speech, a volley of shots rang out. the former president can be seen clutching at the right side of his head. after that, he hits the ground as the secret service pile on top of
8:02 am
him. theirjob, to put their bodies between him and the shooter. there was panic among the thousands of people inside the rally. many ran, many threw themselves to the ground. donald trump was seen getting to his feet and raising a fist to his supporters. signs of blood at his right ear. we were about ten minutes into donald trump's speech and while we were just about to go live on the bbc world service we heard some shots fired, probably a few hundred metres from where we were standing, probably about half a dozen shots we heard. a woman was shouting that someone had been shooting, a guy came by and said that he thought there had been a couple of snipers but he was not sure. we are just waiting to see if things have cleared and as you can see, we are on the ground behind our car, which is not ideal but that is the shelter we have at the moment
8:03 am
and that is what we are trying to ascertain, what has happened. i think the speech has stopped, i cannot hear donald trump speaking any more. as people streamed out of the venue they told us what they had seen. one man, a local business owner, described how he noticed a man he believed to be the shooter climbing onto a low roof nearby, holding a weapon. we noticed the guy crawling, bear crawling up the roof of the building beside us. 50 feet away from us. we were standing there and pointing at the guy crawling up the roof. he had a gun? he had a rifle. we could clearly see that. absolutely. we were pointing at him and the police were down there and running around on the ground and we were saying there was a guy on the roof and the police were like "huh?" they did not know what was going on. president trump was taken straight
8:04 am
to the local butler county hospital. shortly afterwards he released a statement paying tribute to law enforcement and expressing condolences for those killed and injured. the statement said... "i was shot with a bullet that appears to have hit the upper part of my right ear. i knew immediately that something was wrong. i heard a whizzing sound, shots and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin." the secret service also released a statement which said in part... "the suspected shooter fired multiple shots towards the stage from an elevated position outside of the rally venue. us secret service personnel neutralised the shooter, who is now deceased." condemnation was swift. president biden had this to say. the idea that there is political violence and violence in america like this is just unheard of. everybody, everybody must condemn it. everybody. i will keep you informed and if i speak to donald i will let
8:05 am
you know that as well. but so far it appears he is doing well. the biden campaign is suspending its activities at the time being. but donald trump has indicated he plans to go to the republican national convention on monday as planned. in the meantime, investigations will continue. everyone asking how could an attempted political assassination be part of modern day america? earlier, our senior north america correspondent gary o'donoghue, told us what it was like to be at the event when the shooting happened. it was pretty scary. we were not in anything like as much danger as those in front of the stage, but to be honest, when people start shooting, you start getting frightened. that is true of us as it is of anyone else. what we also saw as people started to stream out,
8:06 am
when we thought it was reasonably safe to start working again, people were upset and angry, very emotional, some are very, very angry indeed. you saw there in the piece, we spoke to a man who said he tried to warn the security services that he had seen a guy with a gun on the roof and that would have been several hundred feet from the stage with a line of sight to donald trump. i think that is what will come out of this, there will be so many questions about the security in this. it's an outdoor venue so it is a parameter, so why were they not on every low roof around this venue? how did a man with a semiautomatic rifle get onto that roof and get a clear shot at former president? it is a shocking, shocking moment, i think, in american history. they have had their political assassinations in the past, they have had them in the 20th century,
8:07 am
we know have had them in the 20th century, we knoijk was shot, ronald reagan, there was an attempt on his life, there was an attempt on his life, there were attempts on gerald ford's life as well. but here we are, the zist life as well. but here we are, the 21st century, america is still dealing with political violence at the same time as claiming that it is the same time as claiming that it is the exceptional country in the world. we had someone tried to stop us broadcasting shortly afterwards, they felt we were being disrespectful and we had a spin were trying to do a job and expect the audience what we did know and what we didn't know. there are still so much we don't know. some people are angry at democrats, some angry at gun laws, even people who support gun laws, even people who support gun rights in this country were talking to us about their bewilderment that, as they put it, a lunatic could get hold of a gun and do something like this. so the anger is sprayed all around and i think the problem is how it is going to land, where it is going to land and what it will mean notjust for this election campaign but for the future of this country. there is a sort of
8:08 am
inflection moment where political leadership has a choice as to how to handle, how to process this, how to lead the country out of this, and if it doesn't do it right, things could get a lot worse. let's be clear, donald trump has thrived on pretty divisive talk. his rallies are a tax on all kinds of people from all kinds of opponents. he has made that, that kind of rhetoric part of his stock in trade. but nobody deserves to get shot, that is certainly true, nobody deserves to get shot. but the question is, going forward, will this be a moment where that kind of rhetoric is put aside in the interests of keeping the country together, or will it be something that is used to prosecute an election campaign to a successful conclusion? wejust an election campaign to a successful conclusion? we just don't at this stage. we do not have the campaigns
8:09 am
are going to try and shape this narrative. but there are real risks here for this country. you will have seen from the pictures, the footage that has been shared widely, donald trump leaving the stage, his fist raised in the air. he called out, fight, fight, as he left the stage, being very defiant at the act carried out against him. in the last couple of hours, the fbi and state police held a press conference. lieutenant colonel george bivens gave this update. let me describe a little for you about the scene. as you know, there was a grandstand, a large area with a lot of people there. the former president had come out and begun his speech shortly after six o'clock this evening and within10—15 minutes a number of sounds were heard and it became apparent that shots were being fired in that direction.
8:10 am
it was a chaotic scene. law enforcement acted heroically and quickly identifying and neutralising the threat as well as responding to assist the various victims. one spectator was killed, two others critically injured. as we've been hearing, president biden has made a televised address — saying he was grateful to hear that donald trump was safe and that political violence was unacceptable. let's hear his words in full. there is no place in the united states of america for this, it is sick, sick. this is why we have to unite the country. we cannot condone this. i want to thank the secret service and all of the agencies, including the state agencies who have ensured that people, and we have more detail to come, relative to others, other people may
8:11 am
be in the audience. i don't have that detail but we will make that available to you. i may be able to come back later on tonight back later on tonight and make a statement. but the bottom line is, the trump rally is a rally he should be able to conduct peacefully without problems. but the idea, the idea that there is political violence or violence in america like this is just unheard of, not appropriate. everybody, everybody must condemn it. everybody. i will keep you informed and if i speak to donald, i will let you know that as well. so far, it appears he is doing well. number one, numbertwo, it will be thoroughly investigated what has happened to others in the audience. i have some reports but not final reports. every agency in the federal government, i am going back to my phone to speak
8:12 am
with the federal agencies that will be put together again and give an updated briefing as we are learning more over the next few hours. thank you very much and i hope i get to speak to you again tonight. it has been confirmed that the president and donald trump have spoken on the phone. we can speak to our political correspondent harry farley now. harry, the prime minister has shared a statement on social media, what has he said? that's right. the news of the attack coming through late in the night uk time, the prime minister posting on xs at around 1:15 david lammy the foreign secretary, who has been meeting with republicans and building relationships with those around
8:13 am
donald trump says he is monitoring what is described as the shocking developments in pennsylvania. political reaction is still coming through in the uk. news came on late last night. borisjohnson in the last night. borisjohnson in the last couple of minutes saying it is a miracle that donald trump escaped an attempted assassination and we give thanks for his safety but we are reminded once again of the tragic fragility of democracy in the face of violence.— tragic fragility of democracy in the face of violence. harry, thank you. laura kuenssberg _ face of violence. harry, thank you. laura kuenssberg will _ face of violence. harry, thank you. laura kuenssberg will be - face of violence. harry, thank you. laura kuenssberg will be talking i face of violence. harry, thank you. | laura kuenssberg will be talking to a friend of donald trump after this programme, nigel farage. we'll bring you more on that developing story throughout the morning. we are also going to speak to a former secret service aid on why security might not have been so effective. but we also want to turn our attention to a huge event taking place in berlin later and i know

8:16 am
focus seems to be on the security service. and failures, feelings on the security service. just tell us exactly what they've said so far,, following this incident. there was a press conference earlier, and the security services when there, but the fbi were taking a lot of questions about how this could happen. the bbc spoke to some eye witnesses who said they could see someone on the roof and they were alerting the police to it, so lots of questions around the speed of the response and also the resourcing of the security, how was someone able to get so near? several investigations are ongoing. we also have heard earlier today from the speaker of the house, mikejohnson, who says there will be a full investigation into taddei's tragic
8:17 am
events. —— today's. the republican national convention, which is expected to confirm trump as the candidate, was due to happen, it is still going ahead and it remains to see how this will play out politically, but republicans on the hill are saying this is a win for trump. yes, a lot of discourse on that, we will see how it plays out. also what happens in terms of this investigations. it is fairly late but have you been able to speak to some of the people locally around where you are? what have they been saying? a lot of are going to be waking up, as many people are saying, to a new dawn almost. yes. saying, to a new dawn almost. yes, there is a real _ saying, to a new dawn almost. yes, there is a real shock— saying, to a new dawn almost. yes, there is a real shock here _ saying, to a new dawn almost. 1553, there is a real shock here that something like this could happen.
8:18 am
sadly, assassination attempts, assassinations of presidents are part of american history, so this is a seismic moment, a sadly historic moment that this attempt has happened here. and yes, shock, disbelief, anger and people want answers because there are so many questions. it is early days yet but so many questions as to how this could happen in modern day america. jenny, we will leave it there for now, thank you very much. just to update viewers, short time ago the federal aviation administration had confirmed that they had closed the airspace for security reasons above the hometown of that shooter, that 21—year—old shooter. so the airspace closed above that. thomas of matthew crooks is his name. we've also had reaction from around the world and the latest is from the former prime minister of the uk, borisjohnson.
8:19 am
the current prime minister of the uk also earlier gave his reaction, again on x, saying... we send president trump and his family are best wishes. political violence has no place in our society and our thoughts are with all the victims of this attack. the new british minister, sir keir starmer. questions about the security at the rally have been raised and they will continue to be asked over the coming days. we has been to a professor of
8:20 am
international security at dublin city university. he giving more context. as you know, the united states secret service is responsible for the security of former us presidents and as such the kind of security detail that he has is equivalent to the detail that president biden would have, so the first question is very clearly, how could a sniper reach the roof near the area where he was speaking? and thatis the area where he was speaking? and that is exactly what the security people should be looking at making sure that there is no sniper, no threats, how could that person reach that particular location? as the second question is, they alerted the authorities to that sniper. how is it possible they didn't ever that particular moment?
8:21 am
there is a very serious questions because these are the people in town who are looking after the presidential candidates looking after former presidential candidates looking afterformer us presidential candidates looking after former us presidents and current us presidents. how is it possible they were not people to protect the former president and potentially future president from such an attack that could have ended in a fatal attack?— in a fatal attack? when you say, why didn't they react? _ in a fatal attack? when you say, why didn't they react? take _ in a fatal attack? when you say, why didn't they react? take us _ in a fatal attack? when you say, why didn't they react? take us through i didn't they react? take us through that. are you talking about the moments after that the shots were heard, the popping were heard? what would you have expected to see? the first thin would you have expected to see? tue: first thing is that that particular sniper should never have managed to reach that roof. one of the things they should always do is check the roofs, check the line of sight is without threats, without danger. that particular sniper should not have been anywhere near where they could take a shot on a former us president. in this particular case,
8:22 am
it is clear that the sniper had reached the roof. they had managed to shoot. so this should have never happened. the second thing and possibly even aggravating the situation is that we now have a witness who says they saw the sniper and alerted the security detail. said they saw the sniper before the actual shot was taken. that then raises the question, why was nobody reacting to that? why were they not protecting the president better? because that's what they're there for. they should have been making sure there was nobody around you could get in the position to make a shot at the former us president. so this is something that is a very serious nature and raises a lot of questions. the united states secret service after role was founded by us president abraham lincolnjust president abraham lincoln just before president abraham lincolnjust before he was assassinated himself.

8:24 am
else could have taken is shut. they could have been a second sniper somewhere else, they could have taken out during that time, so these were very dangerous seconds. in the end, he was looking nothing happened. that was a security expert at dublin university. the german chancellor, let's show you what he posted on x. the attack on us presidential candidatejohn donald presidential candidate john donald trump is presidential candidatejohn donald trump is despicable. it presidential candidate john donald trump is despicable.— trump is despicable. it says i wish him a speedy _ trump is despicable. it says i wish him a speedy recovery. _ trump is despicable. it says i wish him a speedy recovery. my - trump is despicable. it says i wish i him a speedy recovery. my thoughts are also with those who are affected by the attack. such acts of violence threaten democracy. many world leaders pointing out and commenting on the threat to democracy. many also hoping that the journey to the

into the midlands and north wales. not a bad day for northern ireland if often quite cloudy. many parts of scotland will eventually see some spells of sunshine which is a small chance of a shower. the sunshine will make a difference to the temperature. into the evening, all eyes turning to germany for the kick—off of the euro 2024 final. around the kick off at eight o'clock in berlin, temperatures around 21 celsius, with clear skies overhead. back home, most places will turn try through sunday night, with some length of clear spells, by the end of the night, this is quite eye—catching isn't it, this lump of heavy rain approaching the channel islands. we could see some heavy thundery downpours here for the start of monday. there will tied in with this frontal system in this area of low pressure. it will be moving its way play quite erotically
8:27 am
northwards through monday, so pulses of rain and heavy rain getting into southern counties of england, into wales and into wales. for many, a warmer feeling wales and into wales. for many, a warmerfeeling day, particularly for these north sea coast. newcastle could get to 20 celsius, and up to 22 celsius. high pressure starts to build and tries to settle things down, howeveranother build and tries to settle things down, however another area of low pressure swings its way in from the west. particularly towards the north and west of the uk. further south and west of the uk. further south and east, there are signs that at least for a while it may turn a bit drier and warmer.

8:31 am
pierced by a bullet. he wasn't seriously hurt. the attacker also killed one spectator. the rally —— to others at risk of this critically ill in hospital. the fbi have said the attacker was killed at the scene. agencies investigating his motive continue with those investigations, but the fbi have gone on to name the 20—year—old shooter as thomas matthew crooks. no further details have been released concerning him. president biden called the attacks sick and said there is no place in america for this kind of violence stop our correspondent gary o'donoghue spoke one man who was in close proximity to the stage itself. we were on the right hand of the stage facing president trump and we heard a barrage of shots around, there was a spray, which we initially thought was maybe a fire
8:32 am
hose that was squirting for some reason, and then the speaker on the right—hand side started coming down. what we ascertained later was that something must have hit one of the hydraulic lines, which caused that speak at to drop. we saw president trump go to ground and everybody started hitting the ground because it was chaos. people were like, what's going on? we have talked to different people who were there. the sad thing about this is, this is not our country. this is the country is going to, but this wouldn't happen in our country before. yes, we have had assassinations of staff before this is crazy. i served in the military. i'm not going to lay blame that this was a democratic or whatever because this could be a rogue shooter, we don't know that. but if this is a political game, this stuff has got to stop. this is ridiculous.
8:33 am
this stuff has got to stop. this is ridiculous-— ridiculous. soon after president biden ridiculous. soon after president ltiden spoke — ridiculous. soon after president biden spoke saying _ ridiculous. soon after president biden spoke saying that - ridiculous. soon after president biden spoke saying that he - ridiculous. soon after president biden spoke saying that he was| biden spoke saying that he was grateful to hear his opponent was safe. in a televised address the president condemned the incident, describing it as sick. he later confirmed he had personally spoken to donald trump.— to donald trump. there is no place in a matter— to donald trump. there is no place in a matterfor— to donald trump. there is no place in a matter for this _ to donald trump. there is no place in a matter for this kind _ to donald trump. there is no place in a matter for this kind of- in a matterfor this kind of violence, it is sick. it is sick. it's one of the reasons i wanted to unite this country. we cannot allow for this to happen, we cannot be like this, we cannot condone this. a trump rally is a rally that he should have been able to conduct peacefully without any problem. but the idea that there is political violence or violence in america like this isjust unheard of, just violence or violence in america like this is just unheard of, just not appropriate. everybody must condemn it. everybody. president biden, soon after the reports came out of the assassination attempt. donald trump also posted his thoughts soon after on his social media.
8:34 am
this so, that was the words of donald trump. we've also spoken to a number of guests on the programme including a former chief white house ethics lawyer under the george w bush administration who is now a law professor at the university of minnesota. we have another tragic story of gun violence in the united states, but this time, and attempted political
8:35 am
assassination, and it is shocking that the secret service and other law enforcement agencies didn't take precautionary measures. the shooter was apparently outside the secret service perimeter that had been established for security purposes. it is well—known thatjust about established for security purposes. it is well—known that just about any crackpot in the united states can get a rifle with long—range shooting capability, and the rooftop, they clearly should have had a secret service agent or someone on the rooftop, not the shooter. so there will have to be an investigation into what happened about the incredibly lax security for a political rally with a former president of the united states, who is a current candidate for president. we simply cannot have this, people can go out there and kill candidates they don't like,
8:36 am
crazy people. and we have to address our gun violence problem in the united states will stop it is being reported in the press that the shooter was a 20—year—old man, his name is being reported in the american press. a 20—year—old man in the united states, in most states you can't buy a beer until you are 21 and yet this man can get his hands on a semiautomatic weapon. we really need to think about whether we have a safe country with the gun laws in the united states being what they are. this discussion has been had time and time and time again, do you really think that there can be changes to laws when it comes to gun access in the united states? t changes to laws when it comes to gun access in the united states?— access in the united states? i would ho -e so. access in the united states? i would hope so- ltut — access in the united states? i would hope so- ltut vou — access in the united states? i would hope so. but you are _ access in the united states? i would hope so. but you are correct, - access in the united states? i would hope so. but you are correct, after. hope so. but you are correct, after the assassination of presidentjohn f kennedy and then the assassination
8:37 am
of his brother robert kennedy, who was campaigning for president of the united states in 1968, he was shot just after he won the california primary. the assassination of martin luther king, there was a lot of impetus for gun regulation in the united states, and yet we have a problem with the gun lobby that is influential in both political parties, more influential on the republican party but still with a lot of influence over both parties and the gun lobby pushed back and now we have so many semiautomatic weapons that people can get their hands on so easily. and once again he, we have here a 20—year—old man, the information is starting to come out about him, he appeared to be very imbalanced and he could just go and get an automatic weapon more easily than he could buy a beer. there is something wrong here. we
8:38 am
need to have a safe society which is going to require some gun laws that are enforced, and that's just not where we are right now. you have said there are some serious questions to be asked when it comes to what happened in terms of security. in your time at the white house under george w bush, what would have been your expectations at a venue like this when it comes to security? a venue like this when it comes to securi ? p, , a venue like this when it comes to securi ? ., , , ., a venue like this when it comes to securi ? ., , i ., ., a venue like this when it comes to securi ? ., , , ., ., ., security? certainly, you would have a secret service _ security? certainly, you would have a secret service perimeter, - security? certainly, you would have a secret service perimeter, really l a secret service perimeter, really as far as the eye can see them up with these buildings with rooftops. keepin with these buildings with rooftops. keep in mind that presidentjohn f kennedy was shot from a rooftop, high up in the texas book depository building, so we have seen this before, and he would just say, well, the building is too far away, we are not going to worry about it. modern rifles have a long range shooting
8:39 am
capability with a great deal of accuracy, and donald trump came within an inch or two of losing his life today. and they certainly should have had police officers on that rooftop to clear the area, make absolutely sure that there wasn't a shooter up there, and quite frankly they should have been a —— there should be metal detectors at these rallies, people shouldn't be bringing guns anywhere near the place, if you're going to have a former president or current president, so there is going to be a lot of discussion about what the secret service did or didn't do that they should have done. we understand from local reports _ they should have done. we understand from local reports that _ they should have done. we understand from local reports that the _ they should have done. we understand from local reports that the security - from local reports that the security to access the venue itself has been described as airport style in terms of the cheques that are carried out, but the obvious questions, what takes place on the outside of our perimeter, that security perimeter? local reports were also saying that
8:40 am
security had been beefed up for donald trump in this election year. that is normal, that is expected, is it? , , , ., it? yes. the presidential candidates, _ it? yes. the presidential candidates, particularly. it? yes. the presidential. candidates, particularly as it? yes. the presidential- candidates, particularly as you are moving toward the general election, they will be carrying out lots of rallies and i know it's hard to keep up rallies and i know it's hard to keep up orfor rallies and i know it's hard to keep up or for the secret service and law enforcement to keep up, but that's theirjob and that's what we budget a lot of money for the secret service for, they need to keep up and make absolutely sure that the candidate is safe and that everyone else is safe, and once again, the perimeter should be as far as the eye can see. these rifles, they can reach a very long distance, and the idea of, well, it's too far away to worry about it, makes no sense to anyone who knows about the sticks,
8:41 am
one could easily have killed donald trump from that building, the top of a building. this is a 20—year—old, we don't know for sure but probably did not have any professional military training and yet he was able to come very, very close to killing the former president. 50 able to come very, very close to killing the former president. so as we head towards _ killing the former president. so as we head towards the _ killing the former president. so as we head towards the election, what sort of, what are the implications when it comes to increased security, considering what has taken place in the last few hours? what sort of secret service assets, for example, would be deployed for all candidates and for campaign teams? t would be deployed for all candidates and for campaign teams?— and for campaign teams? i would exect and for campaign teams? i would earpect that _ and for campaign teams? i would expect that the _ and for campaign teams? i would expect that the secret _ and for campaign teams? i would expect that the secret service - and for campaign teams? i would i expect that the secret service would be putting in the maximum effort both for president biden and former president trump to protect them and make absolutely sure that every one of these rallies there is no chance of these rallies there is no chance of this happening again. the fbi is going to need to be involved along with state and local law
8:42 am
enforcement, and there will have to be a lot more attention paid to security than what happened here today in pennsylvania. the building wasn't even that far away from where people were not watching the rooftop. it'sjust people were not watching the rooftop. it's just unacceptable. people were not watching the rooftop. it'sjust unacceptable. it is extremely dangerous for a democracy to have people worrying about whether the election is going to be decided by assassination as opposed to by the people voting on election day. it is shocking. once again, someone that young makka get again, someone that young makka get a weapon that powerful, to be able to shoot a former president of the united states, a man who is too young to buy a beer in the state of pennsylvania but taken by that gun, i don't know where he got it, we will find out from about this is the
8:43 am
have in the united states with our gun laws, the way they are. it's incredible that this could happen, and tragic. and we have to confront the gun violence problem in the united states. only a crazy person would think that this is how you resolve differences politically, to go out and shoot the candidate that you don't like. and how he could get that weapon. the gun laws vary from state to state, and some states impose restrictions, for example, you might have to be 21 to get a semiautomatic weapon, but other states not. a lot of other guns being sold at gun fares, gun shows, shipped through the mail and various other ways, shipped through the mail and various otherways, because shipped through the mail and various other ways, because we have so many guns out there, and it's a very
8:44 am
challenging problem and i'm certainly not saying that if you could change the gun laws overnight and make this problem go away, but we have not been confronting the gun violence problem at all seriously in the united states, and yes, it is very easy to get one's hands on a weapon this powerful that can be used from a considerable distance to attempt to assassinate a famous politician or to commit any other serious crime. there was richard painter speaking to me earlier. bringing there was richard painter speaking to me earlier. bringing you there was richard painter speaking to me earlier. bringing you further reaction now. the latest from the letter mr lenski of ukraine. i'm appalled to learn about the shooting of former us president donald trump at his rally in pennsylvania. such violence is no justification at his rally in pennsylvania. such violence is nojustification in no place anywhere in the world. never should violence prevail. i am relieved to learn that donald trump
8:45 am
is now safe and wish him a speedy recovery. my condolences go out to the close ones of his attacks victim a rally attendee. i extend my wishes for the strength to everyone who is horrified by this event. i wish america emerges stronger than this. we have also had reaction from china. this is via a spokesperson on the foreign ministry website. on a statement it essentially says that china is concerned about the shooting in this incident involving president trump. the cheney —— the china president expresses his concern for donald trump. there has been condemnation of this assassination attempt over the last few hours. the picture you have there is a defiant looking donald trump, and many people are saying that him raising his fist and
8:46 am
pumping the airwith that him raising his fist and pumping the air with his fist after that assassination attempt will become an iconic photo. also pointing out that he was politically very savvy in terms of the imagery and what message this conveys. a number of analyst has said that. that image there, as he was being led off the stage by his secret service detail, he was heard to say fight, fight, fight. also insisting that he has his shoes before being led off the stage. of course, one of the first reactions to this assassination attempt had come in from president biden who said that it was sick. president biden leaving his home in delaware and travelling immediately to washington, dc.
8:47 am
president trump being immediately treated went to new york in trump towers. he took me through the particular political implications of what had taken place. this particular political implications of what had taken place.— particular political implications of what had taken place. this is unlike an hint what had taken place. this is unlike anything we've _ what had taken place. this is unlike anything we've ever _ what had taken place. this is unlike anything we've ever seen. - what had taken place. this is unlike anything we've ever seen. three . what had taken place. this is unlike i anything we've ever seen. three days ago the us president was being out at press conferences whether or not he would suspend his campaign and drop out of the race. today we have a former president who was nearly assassinated. we were half an inch away from that. in 24 hours we have the political convention coming up. so we're really in uncharted territory right now. 1968 is the earliest lugged attempt for us. the significance of what has taken place, you begin to really
8:48 am
understand it when you see the reaction that is coming from global leaders, president biden, a ijust told viewers, headed back to washington immediately. i have to say, though, that some of the rhetoric and the conversations that are being held immediately after, were being held immediately after this incident, some of the language has been incendiary, hasn't it? this shows how — has been incendiary, hasn't it? tu 3 shows how lethal american politics has become. let's be honest, american presidential politics has been lethal for a long time, american presidential politics has been lethalfor a long time, and historically we've had a number of assassinations and attempted assassinations, so this is not new, but we are at a high point right now, and the talk on both sides is that the election is the pinnacle of right and wrong, and so it is not just about one person or another, it's about the moral standing of the universe, and that creation and fee
8:49 am
environment where individuals may take these kinds of extreme acts because they are trying to save the world, right? they're trying to save everything in their minds, so why not do anything in order to do that? and that's what makes it lethal, that's where were with this political violence. domestic terrorism — political violence. domestic terrorism in _ political violence. domestic terrorism in the _ political violence. domestic terrorism in the united - political violence. domestic i terrorism in the united states. i wonder if you could just give us a picture of where we are with that. every we just seen a general increase in the trend? tt’s every we just seen a general increase in the trend? it's been a hue increase in the trend? it's been a huge issue _ increase in the trend? it's been a huge issue for— increase in the trend? it's been a huge issue for years. _ increase in the trend? it's been a huge issue for years. domestic i huge issue for years. domestic terrorism has been the largest source of terrorism in the united states for over a decade. it was neverforeign states for over a decade. it was never foreign extremists, states for over a decade. it was neverforeign extremists, it states for over a decade. it was never foreign extremists, it was us always domestic extremists that killed more americans. this includes the state of school shootings that we have and the widespread lability of weapons that you see, that were likely used in this attack today. the shooter was apparently something like 150 yards away from the stage.
8:50 am
that's a standard shot for a us military marksmen. not a specialist neighbour, for anybody who qualifies in the military. so it's not essentially an especially difficult shot to take. and it's pretty surprising to me that they don't have that rooftop, which is the obvious buffers reputed to be, cordoned off and protected. i don't know the details and we'll find out what happened, but that's my reaction, is that seems like an obvious area where you would have wanted to have some security up there. i think the secret service has a lot to answer, and their absence from that press conferences interesting, just leave it that. {etc interesting, 'ust leave it that. 0k. we'll sta interesting, just leave it that. 0k. we'll stay with — interesting, just leave it that. 0k. we'll stay with the _ interesting, just leave it that. 0k. we'll stay with the secret service, and i hope you canjust take us through the mechanics of it all. former presidents, what sort of relationship do they have with their secret service? 50. relationship do they have with their secret service?— secret service? so, they are, by
8:51 am
law, secret service? so, they are, by law. given _ secret service? so, they are, by law. given a _ secret service? so, they are, by law, given a contingent - secret service? so, they are, by law, given a contingent of- secret service? so, they are, by| law, given a contingent of secret service for life, and in this case, as an active presidential candidate, even more so, and trump in particular, because of who he is, is considered a more likely target, right? so he is a case for where the secret service is extremely concerned about the threat matrix for him. so they are building out concentric circles essentially from where the president is on stage, and what we have heard in some of the yearly reports is that that concentric circles stopped before we get to where the shooter apparently was on that rooftop. again, we don't know the full details, but that is something the secret service is going to have to answer. already, the imaee going to have to answer. already, the image of— going to have to answer. already, the image of donald _ going to have to answer. already, the image of donald trump i going to have to answer. already, i the image of donald trump surrounded by his secret service, and he is pumping the air with his fist, that
8:52 am
image is already being described as iconic. politically, how powerful will that image be in years to come? i think you can't underestimate it. his political instincts were extraordinary in that moment to stand up and pumped his fist and yell fight, fight. i have literally already seen the t—shirts for sale online. so, rememberthe convention opens up on monday, and i think you're going to see that image everywhere, and you're going to see donald trump raised to the level of a martyr, right? any martyr by his followers. and again, how that affects the presidential campaign is really going to be the big question here. whether or not that changes joe biden plasma calculus for staying in the race at this point, given what is likely to happen with trump standing, these are all
8:53 am
questions we have never faced before, and it's going to take a few hours to see how this washes out. but this was an extraordinary media event, and no one is better at exploiting media events than donald trump, and he's got an incredible image to build on here.— trump, and he's got an incredible image to build on here. professor of national security _ image to build on here. professor of national security and _ image to build on here. professor of national security and political - national security and political science speaking to me earlier. let's bring in more international reaction to this. heading to france, the french president has tweeted, my thoughts are with president donald trump, the victim of an assassination attempt. i sent in my wishes for a speedy recovery. spectator has died, several are injured. it is a tragedy of our democracies. france shares the shock and indignation of the american people. another reaction that has coming to us here from poland, the
8:54 am
president there is has called the attack on donald trump a moment of shock for global democracy. a team there, many pointing to the threat to democracy. also, coming from italy, the prime minister has expressed his solidarity with president donald trump, condemning the violence. and the eu chief has said she is deeply shocked by this shooting at the trump rally. quickly, keep updated with all the latest developments and analysis on this moment in us history. just head to the bbc news web page, and a qr code also on screen for you. if you scan that with your phone, you will have access, it will take you
8:55 am
straight to the live page and you'll have access to photos and analysis, and their context and consequences of this assassination attempt on donald trump in butler pennsylvania by a 20—year—old man. he has been killed, donald trump has returned home. this is bbc news. hello there, for many, there will be some dry and bright weather around today, a bit of sunshine but quite a bit of cloud as well. particularly across northern parts of england and across scotland. in the borders it was a little bit murky earlier. we've got some rain around here and also some murkiness around the coast of scotland further north as well. this low pressure is the reason we seal the rain through the weekend. highbridge are building into the west which is why the north west highlands might see the lion's share of the sunshine. still bringing in rather dank and drizzly weather into
8:56 am
parts of southern scotland and northern england. one or two light showers in northern ireland and further south and west in england and wales. temperatures will get a little higher as well, because we are getting a bit more sunshine. just the slightest chance of a shower at wimbledon, and it should be dry in berlin for their match this evening. quite warm as well. probably warmer than it will be here in the uk this evening. if you're planning to go and watch the match in a big screen around the uk, i think it will be quite cool into their evening hours. a lot of dry weather around but some lingering drizzle across parts of the north of england in particular and towards the north midlands. again, it should be light and patchy. it is a weakening feature all the time. the north when starting to ease in the wind is falling light. already, by morning, more rain pushing into the south and where is. a little bit on the cool side first thing but it
8:57 am
looks like a reversal of fortunes for tomorrow. we'll see drier weather towards the east of scotland and northern england. instead, we get henriette heavey and dundee are sundry rain moving across cuts of england and wales and the. we are seeing just 12 to 14 across the north sea coast today. it should be warmer and brighter tomorrow with a bit of sunshine. on tuesday, taking with it a lot of showers, and a brief ridge of high pressure around mid week. there are more weather systems coming into the north west. that's where we'll see the rain later in the week and perhaps something a little bit drierfurther south. as ever, there's more on the bbc website.
