2:32 pm
i actually first coached ollie when he was 12. um, it was my first age group starting at the academy, and coached him for two years at that point. and he was just fantastic in terms of his character. really, really polite, humble young person. always had a smile on his face, really competitive and a really good football player. and he was part of a really good age group that we had. and, obviously, i saw him from that point on progress throughout the age groups into the under eighteens. he scored a lot of goals for us. and then, eventually, into the first team. and obviously we still follow him now and very proud of what he's done. you've known him for a long time. obviously, he was an exceptional. player when you were coaching him. could you ever have imagined what you saw on wednesday? honestly, no. i've been asked that quite a few times recently. ollie was a really talented young player. but obviously, when you're a league two, at the time, category three football club, we always aspire to try and develop players capable of playing at the top level. but to see him scoring
2:33 pm
in a european semifinal, you know, the winning goal is pretty unbelievable. it's amazing. and, you know, the work and effort and sacrifices he's put in, wasjust absolutely delighted for him. and you could see the look on his face. he was so buzzing and, yeah, it was it was a really special moment. well, we are taking a trip down ollie watkins memory lane. i'm joined by one of his former team—mates. pearson sweeney as a captain of exeter city football club. you are the only player who still plays for exeter city who also played with olly. what are your memories of him?— played with olly. what are your memories of him? ,, , ., ., memories of him? seems a long time auo. m memories of him? seems a long time a90- my first — memories of him? seems a long time ago. my first season _ memories of him? seems a long time ago. my first season in _ memories of him? seems a long time ago. my first season in this _ memories of him? seems a long time ago. my first season in this club - memories of him? seems a long time ago. my first season in this club in - ago. my first season in this club in 2016, it was his final season. my memories of him are probably still the same. a really down—to—earth and humble and hard—working young man. we were pretty similar in age, so we
2:34 pm
had an awful lot in common and we stuck together in a small group of the lads who wear the same age. but yes, a really humble guy, and i'm so happy and proud to see what he is doing right now. he is remarkable. what was your reaction to him scoring the winning goal in the semifinal on wednesday? yes. i was watching on my sofa at home, and i think a lot of people were expecting him to have a big impact when he came off the bench. and when he scored that goal, it was the first time i have everjumped up for anything. ijumped off my sofa and had shivers down my spine. it hits home differently when you know somebody. i think he scored one of the biggest goals potentially in english football history. really happy for him, and yes, let us hope we can do it again today. fire happy for him, and yes, let us hope we can do it again today.— we can do it again today. are you in touch with —

birmingham. ie?! spain have been brilliant in this tournament, winning all of their games in this competition, putting out the likes of germany. let's turn to the spanish players , bbcjournalist sergi forcada is in lamine yamal�*s hometown of mataro — he's youngest ever scorer at the euros — and is just 17—years—old. we had the perspective they're from birmingham, it must be the polar opposite where you are. yes. opposite where you are. yes, although _ opposite where you are. yes, although because _ opposite where you are. yes, although because it _ opposite where you are. yes, although because it is - opposite where you are. yes, although because it is very i opposite where you are. yes, l although because it is very hot, people are not around yet. here in lamine yamal�*s hometown, there is a watch party organised, everything is ready, so i am sure that in a couple of hours, people will begin gathering. we are expecting thousands of people here. this is a town of around 20 minutes from barcelona. lamine yamal is the star
2:41 pm
of this town. they are familiar with his name because he is already well—known and established, he is only 17 and he is the sensation of the tournament. lots of people here relate to his story, because he comes from a working class neighbourhood and from a neighbourhood and from a neighbourhood with lots of people coming from other parts of spain and other countries around the world. so, they like the fact he has now become the star notjust for spain but also for all of europe. especially after that stunning goal against france in the semifinal. quite a lot of wind, just a quick thought: are they worried about england? scared about england? iriat england? scared about england? not reall . england? scared about england? iirrt really. they are quite confident. i was speaking to a couple of guys playing football here, and they said: we got rid of italy, we got
2:42 pm
rid of france, we got rid of germany, so i think we can do it. i was asking them what they think the score will be, and they said 3—1. they are quite confident. also, spain managed to win the euros are twice in a row in 2008 and 2012. ten years later, they say that they can make it happen again. we years later, they say that they can make it happen again.— years later, they say that they can make it happen again. we will talk aaain in make it happen again. we will talk again in the _ make it happen again. we will talk again in the coming _ make it happen again. we will talk again in the coming hours. - make it happen again. we will talk again in the coming hours. thank. make it happen again. we will talk. again in the coming hours. thank you very much. we cross now to eva mccarthy in benidorm. a favourite destination of brits and terrorists —— emer mccarthy. pretty split fans where you are. —— a favourite destination of brits and tourists. we are about 25 kilometres south of where to love barcelona, and let me tell you there are more english fans here than spanish fans. we are on the main drag, the calm before the storm after night, if you will. from
2:43 pm
six o'clock this evening, as you can see, there is some police tape in place. this street will be closed to traffic and there willjust be hundreds if not thousands of british and spanish fans packing the multitude of british pubs lining the streets here. so, it is going to be a very exciting night, and from what we are hearing for most people walking past, they certainly think it is coming home.— walking past, they certainly think it is coming home. emma mccarthy, i thou~ht we it is coming home. emma mccarthy, i thought we were _ it is coming home. emma mccarthy, i thought we were going _ it is coming home. emma mccarthy, i thought we were going to _ it is coming home. emma mccarthy, i thought we were going to hear - it is coming home. emma mccarthy, i thought we were going to hear from | thought we were going to hear from those fans, but let me ask you a question. their children i was speaking to, the under 11 is, they said that it by bit england have turned this around. it was bleak in the early part of this competition, but there is so much more optimism in terms of the way that the team is playing, it is almost a case of the

2:45 pm
to the news which is dominating. the bullet which grazed donald trump. the investigation is now under way with the fbi at the heart of trying to establish the sequence sequence of events. more about the shooter, and we look to get an update from the authoritys. here's some reaction from international leaders to the assassination attempt on donald trump.
2:47 pm
that is just some of the avalanche of international reaction that there has been. let us talk to the former adviser to bill and hillary clinton. richard goode steen. let's speak to richard goodstein, former advisor to bill and hillary clinton. again, donald trump isn't the luckiest man alive, when ye consider what the consequences would have been and what a horrible thing that would have been the country. i have to say this: what i hear trump supporters talking about is how violence is unacceptable in the political process. i am reminded of donald trump responding to love talking about the second amendment solutions in case things didn't go his way, shooting people. donald
2:48 pm
trump recently said that his former head of chief of staff should be executed. he posted, as you saw, online, images of a bound and gagged joe biden in the back of a pick—up truck. he marked nancy pelosi's husband, who was clubbed almost to death. so, this notion that somehow, trump's hands are clean is, i have to confess, a bit much. it is his rhetoric leading this, and honestly, the fact the shooter was a registered republican is something that i am sure democrats, i hate to say, were greatly relieved at. any suggestion, and we are now seeing it from republicans, that this was somehow biden's doing, is nonsense.
2:49 pm
i hear what you are saying, but you will be well aware of the counter narrative that we have heard in the hours since this assassination attempt, in terms of the rhetoric used by some democrats. i have heard what you have just said, but broadly, given that we know how polarised america is, is this a wake—up moment across the board? the wake—up moment across the board? iie: democrat rhetoric wake—up moment across the board? ii2 democrat rhetoric is wake—up moment across the board? i"i2 democrat rhetoric is about wake—up moment across the board? ii2 democrat rhetoric is about how trump would be the end of democracy as we know it. i think that that is indisputable based on everything that trump has said. nobody on the democratic side was calling for the kind of violence that trump and his acolytes routinely called for. and that they thought was a laughing matter. do i think that this is going to call things in the united states? i would like to say that i do, but i think that we have seen this before afterjanuary the 6th,
2:50 pm
where trump is urging on these people, was indifferent to the chance of... mike pence. we thought then that things might cool in the united states, but in a matter of days, all of these people in congress were at trump's beck and call in mar—a—lago trying to curry favour with him. call in mar—a—lago trying to curry favourwith him. i'm call in mar—a—lago trying to curry favour with him. i'm not sure that we have a basis to believe that things are going to cool and that unity will be the order of the day. how do you think this is likely to impact on the wider election campaign?— impact on the wider election cam-rain? ~ . ., . ., impact on the wider election cam-rain? ~ ., ., . ., campaign? well, i am now among those who would hope — campaign? well, i am now among those who would hope that _ campaign? well, i am now among those who would hope that joe _ campaign? well, i am now among those who would hope that joe biden - campaign? well, i am now among those who would hope that joe biden would i who would hope thatjoe biden would step aside and give way to a younger generation democratic leader. i will confess that i think that on one hand, this may make biden more inclined to say: i am that unifying
2:51 pm
figure that the country needs, but on the other hand, i think that trump loves to play the martyr and the victim, and this probably may increase his standing ever so slightly in the near term, which will put biden even further behind in the polls and make it even more imperative that there be another democratic presidential candidate. so, i cannot really say it is easier to predict at this point, i have seen some say this will make trump voters even more inclined to come out, i think that they were anyway. again, and trump could have said: calm down. he could have converged to make urged people to be calm. but his instinct was not that, it is in the opposite direction, not one towards unity. certainly he wants to have more guns in the hands of people. biden wants to regulate
2:52 pm
them. there are issues that people haven't even talked about yet. i’m haven't even talked about yet. i'm sure that over _ haven't even talked about yet. i'm sure that over the coming days, some of those issues will be talked about, but america hasn't seen an assassination attempt on a president orformer president assassination attempt on a president or former president since ronald reagan. these are days and moments that will shake the american public for very substantial amount of time, consequential days, aren't they? it is very different to the reagan shooting. reagan was close to death. he was shot in the abdomen, and you read the stories, and it was radically different. trump isn't the luckiest man alive. it only clipped easier. not to minimise it, but again, how serious it could have been. he wasn't injured in the same way reagan was. will people react in
2:53 pm
the same way? there was a rally behind reagan, it helped him get to congress, the fact he was shot. will this have a similar impact? trump is a different figure to reagan. i think we will wait and see. metre a different figure to reagan. i think we will wait and see. are you shocked by — think we will wait and see. are you shocked by the _ think we will wait and see. are you shocked by the security _ think we will wait and see. are you | shocked by the security surrounding a former president? are you demanding answers? we have certainly had lawmakers calling for that of the secret service to come to them and explain it. it is the secret service to come to them and explain it— and explain it. it is inexplicable, matthew, that _ and explain it. it is inexplicable, matthew, that somebody - and explain it. it is inexplicable, matthew, that somebody could l and explain it. it is inexplicable, l matthew, that somebody could be and explain it. it is inexplicable, - matthew, that somebody could be on a building close by with this kind of weapon. there were obviously questions that the secret service will have to answer, and it is hard to imagine what satisfactory answers will sound like. it is horrifying. and horrifying, frankly, because implications are, i mightjust add,
2:54 pm
like the secret service individuals, they seem more republicans than democrats. this isn't a political judgment, it isjust democrats. this isn't a political judgment, it is just about what may or may not have been on the top of that building, but raises questions about the security being provided for the president. in that respect, whatever answers they have, people will be hanging on, because what they really want to hear is that we need to be better and we cannot let this happen again. ever. es, need to be better and we cannot let this happen again. ever.— this happen again. ever. a final thou:ht: this happen again. ever. a final thought: the — this happen again. ever. a final thought: the white _ this happen again. ever. a final thought: the white house - this happen again. ever. a final thought: the white house is . thought: the white house is reporting a good short and respectful call has happened between joe biden and donald trump. it is extremely important in these coming hours, isn't it, the sort of responses that we get across the board from leading politicians? 100%. and look, in an ideal world, biden and trump might make a joint
2:55 pm
appearance and urgent karma. obviously, what you hear uat these calls for revenge. revenge against who? the man was a 20—year—old registered republican who is dead. trump supporters are angry. they were angry and were saying epithets towards the media, yesterday, as trump is being put into his car and whisked away. there is anger that infuses trump's base. and i do think that something needs to be done to calm that down.— that something needs to be done to calm that down. good to talk to you. thank ou calm that down. good to talk to you. thank you for— calm that down. good to talk to you. thank you forjoining _ calm that down. good to talk to you. thank you forjoining us _ calm that down. good to talk to you. thank you forjoining us here - calm that down. good to talk to you. thank you forjoining us here on - calm that down. good to talk to you. thank you forjoining us here on bbc| thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. we will have much more on this in the coming minutes. let us pause from that briefly. do head to the bbc news website for latest information. that interview gary o'donoghue did with an eyewitness, saying that they were seeing somebody crawling up with a gun on
2:56 pm
