as you can see, we are on the ground behind our car which is not ideal. but that's the shelter we have at the moment. there's no place in america for this kind of violence. it's sick. it's one of the reasons why we have to unite this country. hello, i'm maryam moshiri. welcome to bbc news. donald trump has survived an assassination attempt at a rally in pennsylvania — he's now left hospital. he's posted another statement on social media. mr trump said: "thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was god alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. we will fear not, but instead remain resilient in our faith and defiant in the face of wickedness. our love goes out to the other victims and their families. we pray for the recovery of those who were wounded,

and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed. in this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand united, and show our true character as americans, remaining strong and determined, and not allowing evil to win. i truly love our country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our great nation this week from wisconsin." let's show you the moment donald trump was shot. take a look at what happened... gun shots get down! screams the fbi says the gunman — who was on a nearby roof — killed a spectator and wounded two others before being shot dead by snipers. and as you can see, security agents rushed to protect the former us president and hurried him off stage with blood on his face. in a social media post, mr trump said a bullet had pierced his ear. he is now in newjersey where he plans to spend the night

at his private golf club. this image obtained by the entertainment news outlet tmz — it shows the exact moment the shooter — who is lying on his stomach — lines up his shot from the roof. clearly questions about how we was able to do that without being stopped. the gunman was shot dead moments after this. and what you just heard there was some of the reaction from the distressd crowd — after he was killed — and the panic which followed. our senior north america correspondent, gary o'donoghue, was outside the venue where donald trump's rally took place. this is his report.

you know that a little bit old, bad... it was a few minutes into donald trump speech when a volley of shots rang out. gunfire the former president could be seen clutching at the right side of his head. after that, he hits the ground. as a secret service pilot on top of 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 out of his right ear. were just waiting to see things have cleared

and as you can see we are on the ground behind our car, which not ideal, but it's the shelter we have at the moment and that's what we are trying to ascertain what happened. as people streamed out of the venue, they told us what they had seen. one man, a local business owner, described how he had noticed a man he believed to be the shooter, climbing on to a low roof nearby holding a weapon. we noticed a guy crawling, you know, bear crawling up the roof of the building beside us, 50 feet away from us. so we are standing there, pointing at the guy, crawling up the roof. and he had a gun, right? he had a rifle, we could clearly see with a rifle, absolutely. we are pointing at him, the police are down there running around on the ground, we are like, hey, man, there is a guy on the roof with a rifle and the police are like what? police are like, what? like they didn't know what was going on. screams and shouting. i heard the shots. i thought it was firecrackers to begin with. somebody over there was screaming he has been shot, he has been shot, so i made my way over and said i'm a physician. i'm going to help you.

the guy was spun around and jammed between the benches. there's a helicopter coming in to help. so i got people there, really helpful. what had only one person shot you saw? i did cpr and chest compressions. president trump was taken 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 pierced the upper part of my right ear, i knew immediately that something was wrong, in that i heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. condemnations were swift. president biden had this to say. the idea that there is political violence in america like this is just unheard of, just not appropriate. everybody must condemn it. everybody.

the biden campaign is suspending its activities for the time being. though 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? gary o'donoghue, bbc news, butler, pennsylvania. our north america correspondent, nada tawfik, joins us live from milwaukee — where the republican national convention starts on monday. first of all, if you could update us on the latest on the assassination attempt in terms of what more are we learning and how is the investigation going? learning and how is the investiuation uuoin? ~ �* investigation going? well, the fbi is handlin: investigation going? well, the fbi is handling this _ investigation going? well, the fbi is handling this investigation. - investigation going? well, the fbi | is handling this investigation. they say they are working tirelessly to determine a motive. we know they

have swarmed the home of the suspect, 20—year—old thomas matthew crooks. his father was actually approached by reporters and he really said he was still trying to see how this could have happened but he was reserving any further comment until he spoke to investigators. authorities are appealing to the public to submit any audio, any video that they have. as you can imagine, with thousands of people there at the rally, already numerous videos have been circulating online. and so no doubt the fbi and other agencies will be looking to peace that together. the suspect, they said, didn't have an id on him, they identified him in other ways, he was carrying an ar style rifle but they will update the public as and when they have more information. for now, though, this is absolutely a shaken

nation and many here are turning to questions about how this could have happened, how the secret service could have failed in their are no failed mission to protect a former president. failed mission to protect a former resident. �* , ., ~ failed mission to protect a former resident. �*, ., ~ ., president. let's talk about president _ president. let's talk about president trump's - president. let's talk about president trump's latest l president. let's talk about - president trump's latest comments president. let's talk about _ president trump's latest comments on truth social, his social media site. i wanted to point to the fact that just reading it, the tone feels quite calm, considering the talk of him off the back of being shot, shouting at supporters at the rally, "fight, fight, fight." this statement from former president trump seemed quite calm and conciliatory in asking people to unite. , ., , , ~ ., unite. yes, absolutely. ithink for donald trump — unite. yes, absolutely. ithink for donald trump he _ unite. yes, absolutely. ithink for donald trump he understands - unite. yes, absolutely. ithink for| donald trump he understands the gravity of this moment. it's coming

just a day before he will be formally nominated here in milwaukee. we have to remember this is a former president who is keenly in touch with his image, his messaging. so he will no doubt have thought very hard about this statement. in it i think it is notable that he kind of refer to faith again and again. kind of obviously appealing to his base, talking about how god alone could have prevented this type of attack. you have seen many commenting about just how close that bullet came to his ear, so certainly appealing to the faith —based evangelicals supporters. but as you say, calling for unity at this time, saying they will remain resilient, he will not fear, so very much again that image of trying to portray himself as a fighter for the of trying to portray himself as a fighterfor the nation, but fighter for the nation, but appealing fighterfor the nation, but appealing for unity. i think at the moment many see this assassination

attempt is something that may not bring unity to this country. we have seen a flood of unsubstantiated claims and conspiracy theories float on social media. we have seen some top republicans, including potential vice presidential pics blaming democrats for their rhetoric as leading to this, democrats of course would hit back at that. they have instead kind of used the messaging immediately after this to condemn political violence and to also call for unity. but certainly i think there is realfear for unity. but certainly i think there is real fear that this attack will further entrench divisions in this country. it will of course alter this race. but how come is the key question. alter this race. but how come is the key question-— key question. absently. you are there worthy — key question. absently. you are there worthy republican - key question. absently. you are - there worthy republican convention will begin. how do you think this will begin. how do you think this will change the narrative moving forward towards the election in

november?— forward towards the election in november? ' . . , ., , november? officials and the trump campaigners _ november? officials and the trump campaigners say — november? officials and the trump campaigners say this _ november? officials and the trump campaigners say this event - november? officials and the trump campaigners say this event will- november? officials and the trump campaigners say this event will go i campaigners say this event will go on as planned, that donald trump is in great spirits. he himself in that statement said he's looking forward to speaking to the nation later this week from here in milwaukee. we know that security at some of the dc and miami offices are being snapped up by the campaign. they say they will have security 21w, officers on site. so there is a heightened sense of security and no doubt that will be felt here later in milwaukee where guests have already started to arrive. but of course the tone of this convention will absolutely change. an event of this magnitude will have to be reflected in not only the speeches but the programming. we have to remember that one of the attendees lost their lives, a man who was treated by a doctor and immediately it became clear that he had died and two

others who remain in the hospital critically injured. all of that will of course be reflected in the programming here. you can imagine donald trump �*steam rewriting his speech completely and having to also think about the timing of when he announce his running mate. i mean, there must be a complete reorder of how events will play out here in milwaukee. how events will play out here in milwaukee-— how events will play out here in milwaukee. . . . , ,, ., ~ milwaukee. nada tawfik, thank you ve much milwaukee. nada tawfik, thank you very much indeed, _ milwaukee. nada tawfik, thank you very much indeed, our— milwaukee. nada tawfik, thank you very much indeed, our north - milwaukee. nada tawfik, thank you l very much indeed, our north america correspondent in milwaukee. there are huge questions for the us security secret service about what happened. simonjones can us tell more. well, the assassination attempt was over in just a few seconds, but it's worth taking some time to look at how it all happened via pictures that we've verified on social media. now, here you can get a sense of the geography of the scene. now, you've got spectators gathered in those three stands there. donald trump was speaking on the stage there.

but it's worth noting these three buildings here because they're important for a sense of what happened. those are those three buildings. this was a picture taken before the rally, donald trump speaking in that area. but note the building over here. this is key because that is where the gunman was on the roof there. if we move on here, this was a picture taken by a spectator. you can see that building where the gunman was, people looking on without any concern at that point. but afterwards, we've blurred an image. the gunman had been killed at that point and video has emerged of the gunman. you canjust make him out on the roof there. now, we've calculated the distance between the gunman on the roof and donald trump was only around 130 metres. so that gunman got really, really close. and so there are some really big questions for the secret service. now, theirjob is to protect the former president and presidents,

and people are saying they failed spectacularly in that role. this image shows a sniper designed to protect the former president. you can see donald trump speaking there. and certainly the authorities were keener today to talk about what they were doing, to look into what happened rather than any potential failings. this evening, we had what we're calling an assassination attempt against our former president, donald trump. it's still an active crime scene. as i mentioned, we have a number of agents on scene. we also are working closely with other federal agencies, our state partners and our local police partners as well. we do not currently have an identified motive, although our investigators are working tirelessly to attempt to identify what that motive was. so, now americans are demanding to know how this happened,

how a gunman was able to get so close to the president, a man who should be one of the most highly protected people in the world. many thanks to simon for explaining the geography of the event and the rally and how things happen for us so clearly. let rally and how things happen for us so clearl . , ., , so clearly. let me bring in a bit now about _ so clearly. let me bring in a bit now about the _ so clearly. let me bring in a bit now about the political - now about the political ramifications because as nada tawfik, my colleague, mentioned earlierwe tawfik, my colleague, mentioned earlier we have the republican party convention coming up starting on monday and the democratic party convention and then the elections in november. i have the events of last night impacted all of these things that lead us to that general election in the us, the election in november. i spoke to david dunn, professor of international politics at the university of birmingham, for his reaction to how this could define the election going forward. i think this will be a defining issue in this election, how it is

spun and how it is talked about will be crucial. the impact will also be big. this will have a major impact on the sympathy vote, when reagan was shot in 81 his popularity went through the roof as a consequence of that. you can expect a huge surge in political donations. there will also be concerned and actually this creates copycat acts of violence. it depends crucially how donald trump and the republicans actually interpret this because if they say this was a lone individual who acted in this way in a criminal manner that's one thing,, if they talk about them in all sorts of ways that can be divisive going forward. they have been concerns and opinion polls showing an increasing willingness on the part of a whole range of american citizens prepared to use violence if they don't get what they want. and in a sense, this is a culmination of the trend since 2016

whereby you haven't had candidates willing to abide by the result of the election. democracy works if you prioritise the process rather than the result and the candidate donald trump, we have had somebody who is disputed and challenged the process at every turn and in a sense this is an extreme manifestation of that thinking. an extreme manifestation of that thinkina. , ., an extreme manifestation of that thinkina. , . . thinking. does it matter which olitical thinking. does it matter which political party _ thinking. does it matter which political party the _ thinking. does it matter which political party the shooter - thinking. does it matter which political party the shooter is i political party the shooter is affiliated to at this point? ida. political party the shooter is affiliated to at this point? no, it matters more — affiliated to at this point? no, it matters more that _ affiliated to at this point? no, it matters more that actually - affiliated to at this point? no, it| matters more that actually these events are contextualised and defined as an individual�*s actions rather than a wider movement. it is now time for both sides to actually seek calm and reconciliation rather than actually this febrile mood, and having that heightened. because america, the potential risk of wider

violence, societal violence, given the way in which both sides present this case, this election, is about an existential threat to democracy in one way or another. and in a sense, with america being highly armed, highly divided, highly politicised, lacking interest, lacking in faith in its institutions, this is the sort of thing that can happen. that was professor dunn _ thing that can happen. that was professor dunn giving _ thing that can happen. that was professor dunn giving us - thing that can happen. that wasj professor dunn giving us insight into the implications of all this for those elections moving forward. as always, there is much more on this story on the bbc�*s website, a live page on the website updated minute by minute by our correspondence both here in the uk andindeedin correspondence both here in the uk and indeed in pennsylvania and in washington with all the very latest on the story. now, i think it's time to move on and talk to you a little bit about today's sport. i think it is kind of a big day for sport but

i'm not sure. what do you think? it isa it is a rather big day and we will try and get through it as quick as we can. we'll start with the euros as england prepare to take on spain in berlin. england are looking to make history with a first major title for the men's team in 58 years while spain are searching for a first euros championship since 2012. our sports correspondent nesta mcgregor has been looking ahead and getting the views of both the fans and the experts. berlin, a city steeped in history, from its 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 don't say that every time, but i really do. on occasions like this, what do 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 viewing a wedding with my missus but this _

is more important. we have been to 35 different countries following england. does this feel different? i hope so because i have no money left! my wife thinks i'm bonkers because i paid 1000 euros for the ticket but they were £2,600 from a tout. 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. 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. it's no secret, we have not won a trophy and every year that goes by, you are more determined to win that. by, you are more determined to change that. i would swap 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. the barcelona winger has a really had one reason to celebrate in germany — he turned 17 yesterday. he is a potential superstar. already, 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 those 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. well, the final in berlin tonight isn't the only showpiece event happening in the coming hours — and a few spaniards may have a key interest on what's happening at wimbledon. defending champion — and spaniard — carlos alcaraz takes on seven—time winner novak djokovic in the final on centre court. alcaraz won in five sets last year — in a match that lasted almost five hours. all the hard work every dayjust to be in this position, to be playing grand slam finals as soon as possible. really glad to achieve that. really glad that i'm living my dream. and, yeah, having my close people watching me achieve my dream. i understand really what it takes and i am still putting in that effort and i still enjoy it. i despise it at times, to be honest. i don't enjoy it at times. but i guess the big part of me of how i grew up

is tennis player, is seeking to be a champion, is to make more history. and in the last hour, great britain's alfie hewett has won the men's wheelchair singles at wimbledon for the first time. hewitt beat spain's martin de la puente in straight sets 6—2, 6—3, to complete a career grand slam of titles, having previously won the australian, french and us 0pens. and there is the women's evian championship and the tour de france, they are coming up to the alps this weekend. it is all happening in the world of sport. it is indeed a busy day for you and it is indeed a busy day for you and i will let you go to get on with it. i will let you go to get on with it. i will let you go to get on with it. i will direct the viewer is watching us to the bbc website because there we have all the latest information on the euro 2020 for final. the build—up, the pressure from both sides. who is going to be out there on the field at the start of the match for both teams? the reaction

and the support for the england team and the support for the england team andindeed and the support for the england team and indeed plenty on spain as well. that is the bbc�*s live page on the bbc�*s news and app from wherever you are around the world. that euro final will be a really tasty one. you're watching bbc news. hello. for many there will be dry and bright weather around, bit of sunshine but quite a bit of cloud, too, particularly across northern parts of england and scotland. in the borders early it was a bit murky. we have some rain around here but also some murkiness around the coasts of scotland further north, too. this low pressure is the reason we have seen all the rain through the weekend, high pressure is building into the west, though, which is why the north west highlands may well see the lion's share of the sunshine. there is still a cool breeze with us today but not as strong as yesterday but still bringing in rather dank and drizzly weather to parts of southern

scotland into northern england. 0ne scotland into northern england. one or two light showers, potentially northern ireland, further southend west across england and where is but fewer than yesterday and they should not be as heavy either. temperatures will get a bit higher because we are getting more sunshine. just the slightest chance of a show at wimbledon. and it should be dry as you can see in berlin for this evening. and quite warm as well. probably warmer than it will be here in the uk this evening. if you are planning to go and watch the match on a big screen around the uk, i think you will be quite cool into the evening hours. a lot of dry weather around butjust the evening hours. a lot of dry weather around but just still some lingering drizzle perhaps across parts of the north of england in particular and towards the north. it should be light and patchy as you can see by that stage. it is a weakening feature all the time, the north wind is starting to ease, the wind is falling like a bit of mist and fog in the morning as we saw this morning and by morning more rain pushing into the southend west. a bit on the cool side first thing but actually it looks like a

reversal of fortunes for tomorrow. we will see drier weather across the north—east of scotland and northern england. we have offshore winds instead so it will be warmer. instead we get heavier rain, thundery rain moving in across parts of southern england, wales, marching steadily southwards through the day. yes, quite a notable change where we are seeing just 12—14 across the north sea coast today. it should feel warm and a bit brighter tomorrow with some sunshine. that low pressure moves into the north sea again on tuesday taking with it lots of showers and a brief ridge of high pressure around mid week. it doesn't last long, we have more weather systems coming into the north and west so that is primarily where we think we will see the rain late in the week and perhaps something a bit drier further south. there is more as ever on the website.

kate middleton is going to come out and take place in the crowd at the royal box. she has not been on many public events recently, had a cancer diagnosis and has been receiving

treatment. she is, as part of her job in the lawn tennis association, is a very keen tennis fan and was very keen to take part in this event today, something that she does every year. some years with her family, some year with friends, but this year she is going to be making an appearance with her sister, pippa matthews. these are live pictures we are getting here on the bbc. these are getting here on the bbc. these are people outside center court. it is a beautiful day for the wimbledon final. we are expecting the princess of wales, princess charlotte, her daughter, and her sister to arrive at the players's entrance very shortly. they will then go on to meet a group of priors and wimbledon colleagues. she would then proceed

to the clubhouse before taking her place in the royal box in those very special seats where we are so used to seeing her every year. upon arrival, we are expecting her to be greeted by the chair of the all england club, deborahjeavons. at that point she will be meeting a group of british tennis players, including emma raducanu, and others. we are expecting her to meet a group of tennis players before she walks into the tennis final. today we are expecting the men's final match to be between novak djokovic and carlos alcaraz. it is a repeat of last year's final, that final last year was brilliant. i'm sure there will

be plenty for her to talk about. let's cross to our correspondence, yasmin. talk to us about what we are expecting from kate middleton today. this is a really big day and event for her. it is the second appearance she has made since her cancer diagnosis. it is herfirst she has made since her cancer diagnosis. it is her first solo appearance, the first time we will see her without the prince of wales. she will be joined by pepper, see her without the prince of wales. she will bejoined by pepper, her sister, and her daughter, charlotte. i think this is a really important event for her personally. she has been a patron of the lawn tennis club for the last eight years. it sounds like an event she doesn't want to miss. she has presented the trophy every year. she really wanted to make an effort at if she was able and well enough to do this event she really wanted to. it is great to see

her out. it should be a really interesting game. she her out. it should be a really interesting game.— her out. it should be a really interesting game. she is a big tennis fan. — interesting game. she is a big tennis fan, this _ interesting game. she is a big tennis fan, this is _ interesting game. she is a big tennis fan, this is something l interesting game. she is a big . tennis fan, this is something that she does every year, she enjoys doing it with their own family. she comes into the royal box and at the end of the match will come down and commiserate or celebrate with the winner and the runner—up. i guess one could say it is an important thing in her own mind to be able to do. i thing in her own mind to be able to do. ., , thing in her own mind to be able to do. ~ , , do. i think it is something she en'o s. do. i think it is something she enjoys- the — do. i think it is something she enjoys. the royals _ do. i think it is something she enjoys. the royals have - do. i think it is something she enjoys. the royals have so i do. i think it is something she i enjoys. the royals have so many duties but i think her attending wimbledon is notjust seen as a royal duty but something she enjoys doing with herfamily. this year she will be sold or given that the prince of wales is in berlin for the euro 2024 final this evening. at a very important event for her. it will be interesting for her to see carlos alcaraz and novak djokovic play again. carlos won last year. it'll be interesting for to watch

patient, given the uncertainty. there is a lot in the air about whether we see her and other events, will she return to duties in the autumn. she has admitted herself that this is something that is not easy to deal with and she is having good days and bad days and she has a long herself time to heal as much as she needs. it'll be interesting to see going forward whether she does other events this summer. we know that she been _ other events this summer. we know that she been taking _ other events this summer. we know that she been taking preventative i that she been taking preventative chemotherapy and that is capture very much out of the spotlight as she undergoes treatment. we also know that public engagements can take their toll on people, especially one like this where you are not onlyjust sitting down and watching the tennis were three or four hours, you are meeting people just looking at schedule, she will be meeting people from local

ultimately, it is something that perhaps in the future charlotte needs to get used to because she will be performing these royal duties herself when she is in adults, adults like something is really enjoying. she adults, adults like something is really enjoying-— really en'oying. she will have duties, really enjoying. she will have duties. just _ really enjoying. she will have duties, just like _ really enjoying. she will have duties, just like george i really enjoying. she will have duties, just like george will, | really enjoying. she will have l duties, just like george will, in the future. and they have a lot of experience already about being able to go out and meet people, to crowds. i would say they all look like pretty good natural is when you see them on the balcony, smiling and waving at the trooping the colour. in june they waving at the trooping the colour. injune they all waving at the trooping the colour. in june they all looked waving at the trooping the colour. injune they all looked happy waving at the trooping the colour. in june they all looked happy to waving at the trooping the colour. injune they all looked happy to be there. in these images you can see charlotte to smiling a long, laughing along with their mother, and she is really getting engaged. she has won for the spotlight! it has been a long road for the princess of is.— has been a long road for the princess of is. ,, , ., princess of is. she is undergoing

preventative _ princess of is. she is undergoing preventative chemotherapy. i princess of is. she is undergoing preventative chemotherapy. shej princess of is. she is undergoing i preventative chemotherapy. she has been out of the spotlight for a long while. that in itself must be really tough for someone who is used to working, being out and about, meeting people almost for her in a way this will bring some sort of relief because she is back out there doing the job that she enjoys, meeting people and especially poignant at the tennis because it is your favourite sport, poignant at the tennis because it is yourfavourite sport, i believe. i your favourite sport, i believe. i think it is lovely that this is one of the outing she has chosen to attend. she said she wanted to attend. she said she wanted to attend a few summer events. this is herjuly event, if you like. she is just happy to be out there. it must have taken a huge toll, to cancer diagnosis, being away from the public eye when normally she is so used to being out by herself talking to people, but also with her husband. she has three young children at the same time and that must take a toll on the family, and

we don't know how charlotte, george and cleary are coping with this, but i think we must remember she is a public facing person, but also a mother and she has children that she is also looking after. i think today will be a lovely day, she is able to go out there, watch an amazing match, and do something that she loves doing and has been doing for the past eight years. we loves doing and has been doing for the past eight years.— loves doing and has been doing for the past eight years. we can see her here talking — the past eight years. we can see her here talking to _ the past eight years. we can see her here talking to emma _ the past eight years. we can see her here talking to emma raducanu. i the past eight years. we can see her| here talking to emma raducanu. she is the us open champion from a couple of years ago. she is a hugely successful and well—known tennis player. i'm sure they have met before on other occasions but this will be very special for emma, as well. i will be very special for emma, as well. . , ., ., well. i imagine they have. emma looks delighted _ well. i imagine they have. emma looks delighted to _ well. i imagine they have. emma looks delighted to be _ well. i imagine they have. emma looks delighted to be speaking i well. i imagine they have. emma| looks delighted to be speaking to the princess of way is. she was knocked out this time round, but she

is a rising british star in tennis and someone that people have a lot of interesting and am sure for both charlotte and emma it seems there is interested and happy to be meeting each other, which is a lovely thing to say. each other, which is a lovely thing to sa . , , . ., each other, which is a lovely thing tosa. ,, , ., to say. this is taking small baby ste -s to say. this is taking small baby steps back _ to say. this is taking small baby steps back into _ to say. this is taking small baby steps back into her _ to say. this is taking small baby steps back into her royal - to say. this is taking small babyj steps back into her royal duties, having stepped back from them quite a while ago. it was back in march 20 talk to the media about what was happening. we are expecting her to attend the match after she meets these players. we are expecting her to proceed to the clubhouse through the player bridge. unfortunately, we will not have pictures of that. she will not have pictures of that. she will at that point be meeting a number of people from various local charities and from the local area who are supported by wimbledon and who are supported by wimbledon and who also support wimbledon, as well.

after that she will be walking into the royal box, but i expect to get a huge cheer when she goes there. i think there will be an enormous chair when she arrives, a bit like david attenborough earlier in wimbledon. he got an enormous chair and i think it will bejust wimbledon. he got an enormous chair and i think it will be just the same for catherine. everyone there will know what a big moment this is for her, to have turned up to put on that brave face, bringing her daughter as well. i think everyone will recognise it as a huge moment. she usually presents the trophy to the women's final. it definitely is baby steps. she is not rushing into everything. she has picked this time to really focus on just that one occasion, prepare herself for that as opposed to rushing into doing both. ,, , . ., both. she is creating some were --eole, i both. she is creating some were people. i can — both. she is creating some were

people, i can see. _ both. she is creating some were people, i can see. she - both. she is creating some were people, i can see. she is- both. she is creating some were. people, i can see. she is meeting people, i can see. she is meeting people from the work at wimbledon programme. there are also some of those who are working in the ball distribution, as well, the motivation at merton network. these are people who have close links to wimbledon. there are strong collaboration between wimbledon and local charity partners and that south london area. ~ , ., , , . south london area. wimbledon is such a hue south london area. wimbledon is such a huge advance. _ south london area. wimbledon is such a huge advance, so _ south london area. wimbledon is such a huge advance, so many _ south london area. wimbledon is such a huge advance, so many people i a huge advance, so many people turning up. there are so many people required to put on an event like this. there are a lot of people behind that make it happen. it'll be great for the princess of oil is and her daughter to meet those people, to understand the feet it takes to put on a championship like this one.

it is about members of the community that are being supported by this. i think whenever you go to south—west london during the game you really feel that wimbledon spirit, whether people are watching it in pubs or bars or out in the park or you have got screens. everyone feels magic of tennis. i think it is really lovely that there are people from the community they're able to speak the princess of wales hospital. important to say that apparently last year the final between carlos alcaraz and novak djokovic lasted for hours and 42 minutes. important to say the princess will be able to leave her seat if she so wishes those in the royal box can come in and out in the breaks between every few games we want to talk a little

bit about the royal box itself. it is always a who's who in the world of celebrity. i'm not sure he will be in that box this time, but it is always interesting to see. i’m be in that box this time, but it is always interesting to see. i'm sure i'm not always interesting to see. i'm sure im not the — always interesting to see. i'm sure im not the only — always interesting to see. i'm sure i'm not the only person _ always interesting to see. i'm sure i'm not the only person who i always interesting to see. i'm sure i'm not the only person who loves| always interesting to see. i'm sure i i'm not the only person who loves to spot famous faces when you are watching games. i love it, trying to see who you have in the crowd. thank ou so see who you have in the crowd. thank you so much. — see who you have in the crowd. thank you so much, yasmin, _ see who you have in the crowd. thank you so much, yasmin, lovely - see who you have in the crowd. thank you so much, yasmin, lovely to i see who you have in the crowd. thank you so much, yasmin, lovely to see i you so much, yasmin, lovely to see the princess of will is looking to welfare. now, briefly, let's return to our top story and that its reaction from the international community to that assassination attempt on donald trump. the prime minister keir starmer says. "i am appalled by the shocking scenes at president trump's

rally and we send him and his family our best wishes. political violence in any form has no place in our societies and my thoughts are with all the victims of this attack". french president emmanual macron, "i send him my wishes for a speedy recovery. a spectator has died, several are injured. it is a tragedy for our democracies. france shares the shock and indignation of the american people". the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, "i'm sickened by the shooting at former president trump. it cannot be overstated — political violence is never acceptable. my thoughts are with former president trump, those at the event, and all americans". fumio kushida ofjapan wrote, "we must stand firm against any form of violence that challenges democracy. i pray for former president trump's speedy recovery". the indian prime minister, nahendra modi wrote, "deeply concerned by the attack on my friend, former president donald trump. strongly condemn the incident. violence has no place in politics and democracies. wish him speedy recovery. our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the deceased,

those injured and the american people". the kremlin has also responded to the attempt on donald trump's life. president putin's press secretary, dmitry peskov, said this morning, "after numerous attempts to eliminate candidate trump from the political arena using first all legal tools — courts, prosecutors, attempts of political discrediting — it is obvious to all outside observers that his life is in danger. we do not at all believe that the attempt was organised by the current power". we heard earlier some reaction from world leaders to the assassination attempt on donald trump. well, we have also had reaction from uk policians. the house of commons leader, lucy powell, spoke to the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg on her sunday programme. well, these are appalling scenes. this is an horrific incident which we can condemn completely and fulsomely. thankfully, president trump was not injured more seriously. the consequences of

that are unthinkable. but the thoughts of the whole british government, i'm sure the whole country of britain are with the american people and president trump's family and those affected today. politically—motivated violence is farfrom unknown here in the uk. jo cox, a member of parliament, was murdered in 2016. hersister, kim leadbeater, is now an mp, she said democracies are not making progress in tackling the problem. she was speaking on sunday with laura kuenssberg. we are back again having that conversation about what democracy looks like, what our politics looks like. there is absolutely no place for violence in a decent, civilised democracy and society and those scenes are deeply shocking. i think it's also important to acknowledge i understand one person has lost their life, others have been injured. i'm very pleased that president trump is ok, but there have been other casualties. we've got to have that conversation about what a civilised

democracy looks like. i've been having it sincejo was killed. i, sadly, feel that we are not making huge amounts of progress in this country and in other countries and we have to keep having that conversation. also on sunday with laura kuenssberg, was the leader of the right—wing reform uk party, nigel farage. he is a friend and supporter of donald trump and gave us his reaction to the shooting. very upset. and i'm still upset. i'm obviously pleased that my friend donald's got away with it — onlyjust, but he's got away with it. but one person is dead, two more are fighting for their lives in hospital. so it's an absolutely horrendous incident and yet, somehow, i'm not shocked by it. the narrative that is put out there about trump by these liberals that oppose him is so nasty, is so unpleasant, that i think it almost encourages this type of behaviour. tom newton dunne, a journalist

who was at the rally, witnessed the moment trump was shot at. let me just set the scene for you because trump rallies are unlike any other political experiences i've ever covered in 20 years of politicaljournalism and this was the same yesterday. it was a carnival. his supporters adore him. they come from hundreds of miles to see him. supporters were here from idaho, 0hio, all over pennsylvania, and they were really looking forward to seeing him. it was a blisteringly hot, lovely, sunny afternoon here in western pennsylvania and they were celebratory. they were in carnival mode. clearly their tails were up because they thought their guy was going to win withjoe biden's troubles. he came on stage. he came on stage about an hour, an hour and five minutes late. they didn't mind that at all, either. he was met with huge cheers. he'd just begun his routine, quite a familiar one, if you've heard it a few times. he wasjust getting into the meat on immigration

and illegal immigration. no more than five minutes into his speech when the shots rang out. high velocity gunfire doesn't sound like it sounds like in the movies, it was cracks, whiplashes, if you like. it left a lot of us not really knowing what on earth happened, whether it was firecrackers or some sort of stunt, some bad humoured joke. it was only when someone in the crowd shouted at all of us, "get down, get down!" i think the penny dropped what had certainly happened, which was gunfire. bullets breaking just above the heads of hundreds, thousands of people, very narrowly missing donald trump, rather grazing his ear and tragically hitting someone behind him. that must have been quite frightening for you to be there at that moment and to be part of that confusion, because it looks like there was an awful lot of confusion, tom, at that time. yeah, there was. it took a few seconds to sink in. there was an eerie silence when everyone was really trying to compute what on earth was happening. and then once we realised,

yes, that was gunfire. yes there was. people reacted in very different ways. of course, it was a terrifying experience. some people burst into tears. some people were crying out. 0ne lady next to me was crouching on the ground saying, "0h, jesus, oh, jesus, oh, jesus, they've got him!" repeating that over and over again. we were moved quickly away, the secret service was shouting at everybody to get out as fast as possible. 0thers reacted in anger. some men very angry indeed, blaming people for it. blaming the democrats. blaming biden. blaming cnn. and they were raging. they were threatening revenge. and they were angry at the secret service. they were saying how on earth they allowed this to happen?

how on earth had the shooter got up on high ground and opened fire on an open stage where a president was? how was that high ground not protected and blocked off so it took some time, i think, for the shock to sink in for all of us, quite frankly, for us all to really dwell and realise that, you know, the monstrosity of whatjust happened and the absolutely tragic and awful reality that lethal political violence had had once again returned to america. and tom, you mentioned there about people blaming the democrats. i want to turn people's attention to a tweet from you on x, where you describe a mobile billboard just outside the butler rally site. we have pictures of the tweet. describe what you saw on that billboard because it's interesting and pertinent. well, we were all filed out of the rally site pretty quickly. it took some time to get everyone out and some of us stayed behind talking, just trying to piece together what had happened. it's one of those mobile billboards you see, digital billboards on the way in. we saw that it was proclaiming trump slogans. within an hour of the shooting

by the time i'd got to it and the sun was beginning to go down, someone the owner had already put up a brand new slogan. "the democrats tried to assassinate trump". then it clicked to "we're praying for trump" and similar such messages. these weren't the only people putting across this narrative. a lot of trump supporters immediately blamed the democrats. a young man told me thatjoe biden had paid for the assassin to do what he'd just done. it was, i mean, clearly utterly unfounded stuff, disturbing stuff. but that was the mood of some trump supporters. i have to tell you, not all of them. some werejust very, very sad indeed. this had happened, they weren't ready to blame anybody at all and were just heartbroken at what had been for them a carnival event, an event of fun

and excitement to see their hero had turned into such appalling tragedy. news is coming end of our school being hits of an air strike at a un school building at a camp in central gaza. aesthetic eyewitnesses apparently sought two missiles hit the school, which houses thousands of displaced people and is located next to a crowded market. there are reports of casualties. we will bring you more on that breaking news story when we get that and much more on the assassination attempt of former president trump last night.

so far thisjuly so far this july some places so far thisjuly some places have so far this july some places have already seen well over the monthly rainfall. loftus leads the league, where we have had over doubled the average rent for four where we have had over doubled the average rent forfourjuly where we have had over doubled the average rent for fourjuly even though we are not even at the halfway point of the month. today there is more sunshine to come in southern and western areas. that will feel pleasant, but for eastern and northern and eastern parts of england we still have this thick cloud bringing outbreaks of rain thanks to the same area of low pressure that brought in all the wet weather yesterday. weather sunshine comes out, feeling quite pleasant, temperatures quite widely sneaking into the low 20s. 0vernight tonight some damp weather to come around the eastern coast of scotland, north—east england. 0therwise clear spells developing. for monday and tuesday, we are then looking at the next area of low pressure that will bring more rain to england and where is. the first sign of that rain on

monday morning will be across wales and south—west england before the rain spreads into the south—east. to the north of that, not a bad day on monday,. for northern ireland, northern england and scotland, some broken cloud. the rain across wales and south—west england could be heavy enough to cause concerns about localised flooding. there is likely to be some meant to be mixed in with this. the rain extends further northward delegates —— eastwood. there could be heavy downpours and to parts of the uk that have already seen well over double the average july rainfall. but not a bad day for scotland and northern ireland, temperatures high teens low 20s. wednesday is probably a day when we could see the weather settle down. for the vast majority of the uk

wednesday as a dry day with temperatures close to average, 24 in london. we start to see the rain return to the north on thursday. the weather and settle for most of us for friday and into the weekend.

live from london. this is bbc news an assassination attempt on donald trump — as he speaks at an outdoor election rally in pennsylvania. the former us president says — a bullet ripped through his ear — but he survived without serious injuries. this is the gunman — filmed on a nearby roof — the 20—year—old was shot dead moments later. we do not currently have an identified motive, although our investigators are working tirelessly. the bbc�*s gary 0'donoghue was covering the rally. he and his team were forced to take

cover as shots rang out. we are just waiting to see if things have cleared and we are just — as you can see, we are on the ground behind our car, which is not ideal, but that's the shelter we have at the moment. there's no place in america for this kind of violence. it's sick, it's sick. it's one of the reasons why we have to unite this country. and there's just six hours to go before england face spain in the euro final in berlin. hello. donald trump has survived an assassination attempt — at a rally in pennsylvania — he's now left hospital, he's posted another statement on social media. mr trump said: �*we will fear not, but instead remain resilient

our love goes out to the other victims and their families.
