an assassination attempt is contrary to everything we stand for as a nation, everything. this is the scene live in berlin where tens of thousands of fans are in the german capital where england are kicking off against spain in the euro 2024 final we live in the hometown of the watching party of lamine yamal. they are hoping they can beat england and win the european cup. hello, i'm nicky schiller. we start in the us — donald trump has called on americans to stand united after he narrowly escaped assassination at a campaign rally in pennsylvania. the former president and republican candidate was addressing the crowd
8:01 pm
when a gunman opened fire from the roof of a nearby building. mr trump dived for cover, bleeding from his right ear. one onlooker was killed and two others were critically injured. the 20—year—old gunman, who's been named as thomas matthew crooks, was shot dead by secret service officers. gary o'donoghue was at the rally when the attack unfolded and sent us this report. and you know, that's a little bit old, that chart�*s a couple of months old... it was just a few minutes into donald trump's speech when a volley of shots rang out. gunshots get down, get down, get down! gunshots the former president could 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 — 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.
8:02 pm
donald trump was seen getting to his feet and raising a fist to his supporters, signs of blood at his right ear. cheering he can be heard saying the words "fight, fight." cheering we're just waiting to see if things have cleared, and as you can see, we're on the ground behind our car, which is not ideal, but that's the shelter we have at the moment, and that's what we are trying to ascertain — what's 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 onto a low roof nearby holding a weapon. we noticed a guy crawling, you know, bear crawling up the roof of the building beside us,
8:03 pm
50 feet away from us. so we're standing there, and we're pointing, we're pointing at the guy crawling up the roof. and he had a gun, right? he had a rifle. a rifle? we could clearly see him with a rifle. absolutely. he's got a gun! shouting, screaming we're pointing at him, the police are down there running around on the ground, we are like, "hey, man, there's a guy on the roof with a rifle." and the police are like, "oh, what?" gunshots shouting, screaming get over here! - what are you doing? we now know at least one spectator was killed and two more critically injured. a doctor in the crowd tried to help. i heard the shots. i thought it was firecrackers to begin with. somebody over there was screaming: "he's been shot, he's been shot." so i made my way over.
8:04 pm
i said: "i'm an emergency department physician, let me help you?" the guy had spun around and wasjammed between the benches. there's the helicopter coming in to get him. so, people there were really helpful... was there only one person shot, that you saw? i did cpr, did chest compressions, as well as breathe for him. president trump was taken straight off 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. later, he posted on truth social. "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." thomas crooks. the fbi has named 20—year—old thomas matthew crooks as the subject involved.
8:05 pm
he graduated from high school two years ago. condemnations were swift. president biden had this to say. the idea that there's political violence or violence in america like this is just unheard of — it's just not appropriate. and everybody must condemn it. everybody. the biden campaign is suspending its activities for the time being. but donald trump, seen here after the shooting last night, has said he plans to go to the 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? in the last hour, president biden has delivered new remarks on trump's shooting. have a listen. last night i spoke
8:06 pm
with donald trump. i'm sincerely grateful that he's doing well and recovering. and we had a short, but good conversation. jilland i are keeping him and his family in our prayers. we also extend our deepest condolences to the family of the victim who was killed. he was a father. he was protecting his family from the bullets that were being fired and he lost his life. god love him. we're also praying for the full recovery of those who were injured, and we're grateful to the secret service agents and other law enforcement agencies who...and individuals who risked their lives literally for our nation. as i said last night, there is no place in america for this kind of violence, or any violence for that matter. an assassination attempt is contrary to everything we stand for as a nation. everything. it's not who we are as a nation. it's not america, and we cannot allow this to happen.
8:07 pm
unity is the most elusive goal of all, but nothing is important than that right now. unity. we'll debate and we'll disagree. that's not going to change, but we're not going to lose sight of who we are as americans. look, vice president harris and i were just briefed in the situation room by my homeland security team, including the director of the fbi, the secretary of homeland security, the attorney general, the director of the secret service, my homeland security advisor, the national security advisor. and we're going to continue to be briefed. the fbi is leading this investigation, which is still in its early stages. we don't yet have any information about the motive of the shooter. we know who he is. i urge everyone, everyone, please, don't make assumptions about his motives or his affiliations. let the fbi do theirjob and their partner agencies do theirjob. i'm instructed that this investigation be thorough and swift, and the investigators will have every resource they need
8:08 pm
to get this done. look, as this investigation continues, here's what we're going to do. first, mr trump is a former president and nominee of the republican party, already receives a heightened level of security, and i've been consistent in my direction of the secret service to provide him with every resource, capability and protective measure necessary to ensure his continued safety. second, i've directed the head of the secret service to review all security measures — for the republican national convention, which is scheduled to start tomorrow. and third, i've directed an independent review of the national security at yesterday's rally to assess exactly what happened, and we'll share the results of that independent review with the american people as well. and finally, i'll be speaking more about this tonight at greater length
8:09 pm
from the oval office. we must unite as one nation. we must unite as one nation to demonstrate who we are. and so may god bless you all. and may god protect our troops. thank you very much. president biden speaking in the last hour. you heard him say he would make remarks from the oval office. we are hearing they are going to take place at 8pm local time in washington. he will be broadcasting at a nationwide address from the oval office. also we heard in gary o'donoghue�*s report that the national convention are starting on monday. donald trump has posted on social media saying that he will soon depart for that convention. we are expecting him to depart in the next half an hour or so. he posted on truth social that, based on yesterday's terrible events, i was going to delay my trip to wisconsin. that is where the convention is taking place. but he said that he
8:10 pm
cannot allow a shooter, or potential assassin, to force changes to scheduling. therefore i will be leaving for milwaukee is scheduled at 1530 eastern time. that is in around 20 minutes' time. donald trump saying he will depart for the republican national convention which starts on monday, on time. he is not going to allow that attempt on his life at that rally on saturday to stop him from departing as he was scheduled to do, to the republican national convention in wisconsin. also we are expecting, as i said, that address from president biden from the oval office, at 8p and washington time. we will of course bring that to you on bbc news and we have a special live page up and running on the bbc news website and 3pp running on the bbc news website and app with the very latest on the reaction to the assassination
8:11 pm
attempt on donald trump at that rally. now we are going to turn our attention to sport. the euro 2024 final has kicked off in berlin. the score is currently 0—0. let's get that and the rest of the sport. like england chasing a first major title in 58 years. spain seek a fourth european championship. it would be a first since 2012 for them. 12 minutes gone in that match at the moment. it is currently goalless. spain have had the better of the opportunities. they have a corner and they are taking it at the moment. they have had the majority of possession as you would expect because they are possession —based. nico williams has just whipped one in but it has been headed back out for a goal kick. it
8:12 pm
is nil nil in that one after 12.5 minutes of play. in tennis carlos alcaraz had made it back to back wimbledon championships after he defeated seven time winner novak djokovic in the final. it was a repeat of last year's decider. collis alcaraz is a better player a year on and also novak djokovic it was clearly out of sorts. alcaraz�*s level was high from the start and djokovic's search early and raced into a two set lead. the seven time champion struggled. jock literally had knee surgery last month and against the relentless player it showed. there was a brief opening for a novak djokovic comeback in the third set when the championship points slipped away but he made no mistake in the tie—break, winning in straight sets. at 21 he becomes the
8:13 pm
youngest man to win wimbledon and the french open in the same year. my the french open in the same year. ij�*i dream, i the french open in the same year. ii1 dream, iwanted the french open in the same year. ii1 dream, i wanted to keep the french open in the same year. ii1: dream, i wanted to keep going but it's a great feeling to play in this beautiful court, to live this massive trophy. i said it before, for me is the beautiful tournaments, and the most beautiful trophy. for novak djokovic, at 37, that wait for a roger federer equalling wimbledon title and a record 25th grand slam, goes on. he has had an incredible fortnight, all things considered, with much to reflect on. you can alwa s with much to reflect on. you can always analyse _ with much to reflect on. you can always analyse the _ with much to reflect on. you can always analyse the match - with much to reflect on. you can always analyse the match after i with much to reflect on. you can i always analyse the match after and say i could — always analyse the match after and say i could have done this or that, but overall. — say i could have done this or that, but overall, the way i felt on the court _ but overall, the way i felt on the court today, against him, i was inferior— court today, against him, i was inferior on _ court today, against him, i was inferior on court. he was a better

8:15 pm
still goalless in that match between england and spain in berlin. 15.5 minutes played. for the latest you can head to the bbc sport website. i will be back in a little while to give you an update on that and everything else. we are going to stay with euro 2024 final. the score is 0—0. england's men hoping to win theirfirst major trophy is 0—0. england's men hoping to win their first major trophy since 1966, while spain will be hoping for a record fourth euro title. joining me now is sergi forcada, in spanish teenage star lamine yamal�*s home town — and meghan owen in exeter, which is where ollie watkins began his career. ollie scored the winner, which got england into the final. let's start with you. what is the atmosphere like?— let's start with you. what is the atmosphere like? everyone is glued to the big screen _ atmosphere like? everyone is glued to the big screen here. _ atmosphere like? everyone is glued to the big screen here. they - atmosphere like? everyone is glued to the big screen here. they are - to the big screen here. they are getting a bit nervous or impatient
8:16 pm
because just before the match started they said, we have this done, we are already confident. at this stage it is still goalless but every time there is an opportunity for spain, or in particular lamine yamal on the screen, you can see them cheering and applauding. even if it is still 0—0 they are cheering and applauding for spain because they are confident that they can beat england in this match. lamine yamal really _ beat england in this match. lamine yamal really has _ beat england in this match. lamine yamal really has been _ beat england in this match. lamine yamal really has been the - beat england in this match. lamine yamal really has been the star- beat england in this match. lamine yamal really has been the star for. yamal really has been the star for spain so far. but being honest, they have had the better tournament so far, ratherthan have had the better tournament so far, rather than england. yes. have had the better tournament so far, rather than england.— far, rather than england. yes, and that is why. _ far, rather than england. yes, and that is why, when _ far, rather than england. yes, and that is why, when i _ far, rather than england. yes, and that is why, when i have _ far, rather than england. yes, and that is why, when i have been - that is why, when i have been talking to people today, asking about their predictions for the game, that is why they were quite confident because they kept repeating look, we got rid of italy and germany and france in the semifinal. so far spain has been delivering good performances so that
8:17 pm
is why they were like, we can make it happen against england because england hasn't been as strong as spain throughout the tournament. but obviously it all comes down to what happens in this 90 minutes and so far goalless here. i have to say thatjust before the match started we could hear some words from the dad of lamine yamal, who was very involved in the neighbourhood and he told the crowds here that he was hoping that his son would manage to do might deliver a good performance that would help spain win at this tournament. that would help spain win at this tournament-— that would help spain win at this tournament. ., ,, , ., , . tournament. thank you very much. let's tournament. thank you very much. let's head — tournament. thank you very much. let's head to _ tournament. thank you very much. let's head to exeter— tournament. thank you very much. let's head to exeter where - tournament. thank you very much. let's head to exeter where ollie i let's head to exeter where ollie watkins began his career. he's got that were never england that got them into the final. meghan owen is there. everyone is staring intently at the screen. me there. everyone is staring intently at the screen.— at the screen. me too. i keep looking at — at the screen. me too. i keep looking at the _ at the screen. me too. i keep looking at the screen - at the screen. me too. i keep looking at the screen and i at the screen. me too. i keep| looking at the screen and then looking — looking at the screen and then looking back, forgetting i am about

8:21 pm
and it is a little over 130 metres. meanwhile, here is a sniper and. this video from tmz shows the gunmen on top of the building. he appears to be setting up and trying to take aim, and thenjust a few minutes into the campaign speech, loud shots ring out at about 610. take into the campaign speech, loud shots ring out at about 610.— ring out at about 610. take a look at what happened. _ ring out at about 610. take a look at what happened. you _ ring out at about 610. take a look at what happened. you can i ring out at about 610. take a look at what happened. you can see i ring out at about 610. take a look- at what happened. you can see secret service agents — at what happened. you can see secret service agents warm _ at what happened. you can see secret service agents warm around _ at what happened. you can see secret service agents warm around donald i service agents warm around donald trump. listen to what he is saying. he tells them he needs shoes before they rushed off stage.
8:22 pm
you can see at this point blood covering part of his right ear and on his face. he lifts his fist, mouthing the word fight. that moment was captured in this photo by the new york times. you can then hear the crowd chanting, usa. these are videos that capture the moment filmed by people attending the rally and that bbc news has verified. remember one spectator was killed at the rally, and according to our us media partner cbs, two others were critically injured. a little over 20 minutes later trump's campaign said he is fine. but it is at 7:03pm. at 7:45pm law enforcement confirms that the suspect is dead, along with an audience member. all of this is more
8:23 pm
than an hourand audience member. all of this is more than an hour and a half after the incident took place. this is how all of this unfolded. the next question though for secret service is how it could have even happened in the first place? the american actress shannen doherty, best known for her role in the 19905 hit tv series beverly hills, 90210, has died. she was 53 and was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. last year, she had a brain tumour removed and revealed the disease had spread to her bones. our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba looks back on her life. beverly hills 90210, for a whole generation, represented the height of �*90s glamour. and at its heart, the charismatic, occasional bad girl, brenda. shannen doherty was a child star. one early appearance — tv�*s little house on the prairie. you like it here, don't you?
8:24 pm
yes. i was scared at first, but i'm glad we settled here. i want you to be happy here. i'd be happy anywhere with you, father. a string of minor parts followed. easy shot heather. before she landed a role opposite winona ryder in cult high school film heathers. then came her starring role as brenda in beverly hills 90210. teenagers could relate to storylines like her tempestuous relationship with dylan, played by luke perry, an actor who also died tragically young. but it also dealt with more serious issues. so we were all at kelly's studying for the sats, and she was reading this magazine, and it had this thing in it about, well, you know, where you check your breasts for lumps.
8:25 pm
one early storyline gained praise for the way it sensitively drew attention to the issue of breast disease, something that was to impact on the actresses health years later. well, the article said that even young girls should get into the habit. so, i did the test and i thought that i felt something. her other big tv series, also captivated a younger audience, playing one of three sisters who were also witches. in charmed, she was the demon battling... ..gravity defying... ..high kicking... ..super powerful prue. we better get ready for work. as with all her biggest roles, it was watched and adored by millions because, like her audience, her characters always explored those magical themes of feelings, friendship and family.
