hello, you're watching bbc news, i'm nicky schiller. we will focus now on the euro 2024 final that has kicked off in berlin about half an hour ago, the score currently 0—0. let me show you some of the watching parties across the country. let's go to the 02 in london — there you can see thousands of people inside the 02 in greenwich. they are all staring at the screen, the big screen that is showing the game with drinks in their hands, quite calm

there. let's head to the northeast and newcastle — and again, this is a watch party. we were talking to our correspondent who is there again, calm before some goals, may be or not at the moment, it is 0—0. let's head to brixton — this is the box in brixton, which has been the scene of a lot of celebrations. joe inwood is there, he is our lucky mascot here on bbc news because whenever he has been at that watching party in brixton, england have always survived, got through — he was there

at the moment that they scored in the semifinal and enjoyed that moment. so there they all are, looking intently at the screen. that's joe we are focusing looking intently at the screen. that'sjoe we are focusing in on there, he's there watching. nowjoe is a massive england fan — she's having a beer by the looks of it, i don't know if you're supposed to drink when you're on duty. butjoe is one of the biggest england fans we have in the office, and as you can see, he's basically a fan. he always volunteers to go and cover these games because he's being paid to watch the game. as you can see, he's just they're having a chat with the fans, enjoying it like any other england fan — when really, he should be working for us. but we will hopefully getjoe and pull him away from watching the game and talk to some of the fans that are there. so thatis some of the fans that are there. so that is what is going on across england. we probably ought to look

at spain as well. and, seeing as we have to give a nod to the spanish side, let's speak to our reporter sergi forcada, who is in lamine yamal�*s hometown of mataro. what is the atmosphere like? we've seen just in the england watching parties, people intently staring at the screen. what's it like there with you? i the screen. what's it like there with ou? ~ the screen. what's it like there with you?— with you? i think it's quite similar. — with you? i think it's quite similar, everyone - with you? i think it's quite similar, everyone is - with you? i think it's quite similar, everyone is reallyj with you? i think it's quite - similar, everyone is really glued to the screen, there is a very big screen here in this park in mataro, a city half an hour's drive from barcelona where lamine yamal was born and raised. and everyone here is nervous but also excited. 0bviously they are cheering for spain, and every time number 19, lamine yamal, comes on the screen, people start shouting and clapping. so you can tell people here are

really excited about him, and they really excited about him, and they really like him.— really excited about him, and they really like him. indeed, we've been sa in: all really like him. indeed, we've been saying all along. — really like him. indeed, we've been saying all along. up _ really like him. indeed, we've been saying all along, up until— really like him. indeed, we've been saying all along, up until now - saying all along, up until now spain have really been the stronger team, and they could make history if they win tonight with a fourth euros title. it win tonight with a fourth euros title. ., , ., _, ., win tonight with a fourth euros title. ., , ., ., ., , title. it would be a record for any nation, title. it would be a record for any nation. no _ title. it would be a record for any nation, no nation _ title. it would be a record for any nation, no nation until— title. it would be a record for any nation, no nation until now has l title. it would be a record for any i nation, no nation until now has won the competition for a fourth time. what the spaniards want from this is to regain that momentum that they had for football between 2008—12, when the men's national team won the euro cup twice in a row, and also the world cup. so they are hopeful that tonight could be a turning point for spanish football once again and dominate — but they've been very happy about their performances the international team have delivered so far throughout the tournament, and i have to say that

before the competition started, people weren't really that excited about these euros, they weren't confident about how things would end “p confident about how things would end up going — but obviously stage after stage, spain has been performing very well, and that's why today ahead of this final, most people i was talking to were quite confident they could be england. we was talking to were quite confident they could be england.— they could be england. we will let ou car they could be england. we will let you carry on _ they could be england. we will let you carry on watching _ they could be england. we will let you carry on watching the - they could be england. we will let you carry on watching the game. i let's speak to emer mccarthy, in benidorm. and probably more english fans than spanish ones, but it looks quite quiet, so i assume they're all in the pubs and bars watching the game on the big screens?— on the big screens? absolutely, eve one on the big screens? absolutely, everyone is _ on the big screens? absolutely, everyone is glued _ on the big screens? absolutely, everyone is glued to _ on the big screens? absolutely, everyone is glued to every - on the big screens? absolutely, i everyone is glued to every screen on the big screens? absolutely, . everyone is glued to every screen - everyone is glued to every screen — and just about every pub, cafe and restaurant has an enormous screen for this match. i have no skin in this game at all — i'm australian with irish parents — but i myself am

very nervous. the atmosphere has gone from one that was quite exciting and a real party atmosphere, to being one of nerves — i don't know how many nails —— how much nails all have at the end of this 90 minutes, honestly. but whenever england have possession, you certainly know, so there's been a few times thatjohn doe, who is behind the camera, has been a bit scared, looking at my face, i have to tell him what's going on because it's not a face for tv when england get the ball, i get too carried away. i'm not giving away who i'm going for, but certainly nervous. i think nervous is the word that we've all got, thank you very much. a couple minutes ago, we are focusing on the crowd in brixton, and we saw our correspondentjoe inwood, who our correspondent joe inwood, who was our correspondentjoe inwood, who was there watching, having a drink

with the rest of the fans. we've managed to grab hold of him to come in front of the camera. we saw you with a pint there with their fans, joe, what's the atmosphere like? it's tense, i can tell you that. i know i'm supposed to be objective here to cover an event, but this is too nerve—racking — the truth is watching this game, you realise the real skill of the english tim here isjust in shutting real skill of the english tim here is just in shutting down the spanish. it hasn't been a great game —— english team here. that's really been the key thing here, and i think that's the strategy that garrett's south cave is putting in place. he knows he has to be able to beat the spanish team, so what they've done is shut the game down, they've kept roger quiet, and they've restricted the chances the spanish have ——

gareth southgate. it's not axley been a great game of football, but my god it's tense and everyone here is enjoying themselves. we my god it's tense and everyone here is enjoying themselves.— is enjoying themselves. we are cominu is enjoying themselves. we are coming out _ is enjoying themselves. we are coming out probably _ is enjoying themselves. we are coming out probably to - is enjoying themselves. we are l coming out probably to half-time is enjoying themselves. we are - coming out probably to half-time in coming out probably to half—time in the next ten minutes or so, i assume at that point everyone gets to the bar to have a drink. i at that point everyone gets to the bar to have a drink.— bar to have a drink. i would assume so. it's a bar to have a drink. i would assume so- it's a great _ bar to have a drink. i would assume so. it's a great atmosphere, - bar to have a drink. i would assume so. it's a great atmosphere, and . bar to have a drink. i would assume so. it's a great atmosphere, and if. so. it's a great atmosphere, and if we pan the camera around, you can see the numbers of people here, all glued to the screens. luckily no one is looking at me, which is always good. but there will be going to the bar to enjoy — this is frankly an amazing, shared experience, one of those that doesn't come along very often. before this, it hadn't really come along in decades. we had a final in 2001 that didn't go the way they wanted — so this is a massive

shared experience for the people here, and they'll make the most of it, they really are.— it, they really are. joe, we'll let ou to it, they really are. joe, we'll let you go back _ it, they really are. joe, we'll let you go back and _ it, they really are. joe, we'll let you go back and enjoy - it, they really are. joe, we'll let you go back and enjoy it - it, they really are. joe, we'll let you go back and enjoy it with i you go back and enjoy it with the fans, thanks for the moment, we'll be back withjoe later as that euro 2024 final between england and spain continues in berlin, it is currently 0-0. continues in berlin, it is currently 0—0. don't forget you can keep up—to—date with the score on the bbc sport website and app. returning to the assassination attempt on donald trump now — i want to tell you some lines we are getting in from the fbi, one of their officials has been briefing their officials has been briefing the media. they say they have not yet identified the ideology in connection with the suspect of course who was shot. the shooting is being looked at, they say, as both a domestic terrorism act and an assassination attempt. the fbi is reviewing the social media accounts

of the gun man, the weapon used, and also dna evidence. now dna was used to identify the gunman who shot the mike arsenault at donald trump at that rally yesterday —— who shot at donald trump. they say the shooter acted alone and there were no public safety concerns. bond specialists secured a suspicious device and the suspect�*s car. fbi confirming the gun used was purchased illegally, and they've identified it as an ar style 556 rifle. the fbi director has said they are committed to putting the full force, he says, of the fbi to the investigation. also of course, they will be looking into the background of the suspect. they say so far, the bureau has not found any indications that the suspect has any indications that the suspect has a history of mental health issues.

the attorney general, merrick garland, has also been briefing president biden on the trump rally shooting. he also has directed the fbi to bring every available resource to bear on the investigation. they say that they are also reviewing things and on the lookout for threats at the republican national convention, because it starts on monday, and donald trump is due to leave his home to head to wisconsin very shortly. i think we can show you some pictures of the road at bedminster, near donald trump's property. now a little earlier, he said he would depart on time, that was supposed to be around now. but based on yesterday's terrible events, he said, "we cannot allow a

shooter or potential assassin to force a change to scheduling, therefore i will be leaving for milwaukee is scheduled" which was about 30 minutes ago. we suspect donald trump will leave bedminster they are, heading for the republican convention which starts in wisconsin on monday. as i say, the fbi say they are on the lookout for threats ahead of that convention. they say they've not yet found any threatening language on the suspect�*s social media accounts. they say that the weapon was purchased by the suspect cosmic father and a suspicious device was seized from the suspect cosmic car, and it is now in a lab for investigation. the fbi official said the threats of official violence have ticked up, and we are seeing that in the aftermath of this event. so the fbi saying they are

investigating the assassination attempt as potential domestic terrorism as well as an assassination attempt. no of course, the attempt on donald trump has raised a lot of questions around security. it is an extraordinary security. it is an extraordinary security failure for the us secret service. 0ne security failure for the us secret service. one of those whose main duties is to protect current and former presidents. 0ur security correspondent frank gardner has been working alongside bbc verify to piece together what went wrong. if you want to really see something that said — l take a look at what happened... gunfire the moment the former us president was nearly assassinated. the people tasked to protect him were from the us secret service. this failure was on their watch. the investigation — already under way — is focusing on butler, in pennsylvania, where the rally took place. this bbc verify graphic shows how the secret service missed seeing

the gunman climb up onto a roofjust 130m from the stage, and opened fire before law enforcement snipers could shoot him dead. i asked former secret service special agent robert macdonald what went wrong. well, i think the concern is going to be, how did that individual get on top of that roof? and what did the secret service's security plan have in place to mitigate anything like that happening? i asked the former special agent what else the secret service should have done better. the agents then put themselves in what we call a body bunker, to move him off of the stage. i would've liked to seen him be moved off the stage a little bit quicker, but under the circumstances, it's chaotic, and he was probably becoming a little bit slower, and wanting to make that a furtive movement to indicate to fight on. so, the agents took their quickness to get over to him and put themselves between him and any future harm's way, with respect to any shots coming, ringing out.

there are some historic precedents here — the fatal shooting ofjohn f kennedy in 1963, and the shooting of ronald reagan in 1981, which he survived. donald trump may have escaped with minor injuries, but there are still major questions to be answered. just four months away from a presidential election, people want to know how these dangerous lapses in security were allowed to happen. frank gardner, bbc news. that was frank gardner working with bbc verify to try and piece together those security failures from the secret service. we are expecting donald trump to leave his bedminster home — this is the live shot there, it's raining as you can see — he will be heading to the republican

convention in wisconsin, which starts tomorrow. he had said that he'd thought about delaying that, but he couldn't let an attempted assassination allow him to stop going to that convention on time. as i said, the fbi have been briefing the media along with the usjustice department, and a reminder of those lines that we've got. the fbi saying that it appears that the shooter acted alone and there is no ongoing security situation. they say they've not identified any ideology linked with the suspect, but they say the investigation is still in the early stages. the evidence response team is still processing evidence in butler, adding the agents are still combing through the suspect cosmic social media for evidence inclusive. now the gun it's been confirmed was an ar style rifle purchased legally

— they believe the gun man's father purchased it. they say a suspect device was found in the suspect cosmic car and is still being examine. another official saying the incident is being investigated as a potential act of domestic terrorism. they also say the suspect had no indication of mental health issues. they are focusing on his motivation, trying to work out why he carried out the attempted assassination attempt. they are looking at his social media accounts, but they are saying at the moment, he is not that they not seeing anything that they find threatening on his social media accounts, but they say it is still very early on. they are working to access thomas crooke's phone — is

currently being sent to an fbi lab in virginia, but they say recent communications have revealed nothing as to his motivations or indeed a larger plan, according to fbi officials who are holding a phone call briefing forjournalists which is where we are getting this information from, so it's not something we can actually give to the media, but our team something we can actually give to the media, but ourteam in washington are monitoring that call, and that's where these lines are coming from. no indication at the moment of the suspect cosmic mental health issues. the pictures on your screen are a very wet bedminster, where donald trump is expected to leave to go to the republican national convention which starts in wisconsin on monday. of course before the assassination attempt on saturday, we had expected that as

part of this republican national convention, donald trump would announce who would be his vice presidential running mate for the november presidential election — but whether this attempted assassination changes that, of course the republican party officials will be looking at what the convention does. of course, president biden in the of course, president biden in the last hour or so has promised a swift and thorough investigation into the assassination attempt. he made that brief televised statement from the white house where he also said the motive of the gunmen remained unknown, urging people not to speculate. he's promised an independent review into security at that rally in pennsylvania. mr biden saying violence was against everything the united states stood for, and he will make a nationwide address from the oval office later at 8pm washington time. let's have a look at some of the reaction from international leaders to the assassination attempt

on donald trump. the prime minister keir starmer says... the french president, emmanual macron... the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau... fumio kushida, of japan. .. the indian prime minister, nahendra modi...

we have a live page on the bbc news website where we can see the latest news on the fbi briefing and the rest of the reaction to the news after that a attempted assassination on donald trump yesterday. it is now half—time in the euro 2024 between spain and england, 0—0 at half—time. let's head to one of the watching parties that's going on in newcastle. let's speak to alison freeman. time for people to get a drink at

half—time — a nervous 45 minutes for the fans there? i half-time - a nervous 45 minutes for the fans there?— the fans there? i must say, that atmosphere _ the fans there? i must say, that atmosphere i — the fans there? i must say, that atmosphere i was _ the fans there? i must say, that atmosphere i was describing - the fans there? i must say, that. atmosphere i was describing earlier seems to have ebbed away a little bit, it's a lot flatter. 0bviously when england do get possession, and that near miss by phil foden a few minutes before half—time, the crowd is erupting — but as you say, it's a lot flatter and calmer, everyone has popped to the bar or the lou. but before the match started, as people were getting their drinks out, they were getting their drinks out, they were coming up with some impressive suggestions that it could be and england 5—1 or 6—0 win. the reality as the half—time whistle blew was it probably wasn't going to happen. you can see people are feeling a little disappointment, and england aren't getting the opportunities people here really hope they would, and spain are playing particularly well. but those 2000 or so people are still down there watching, and

they're still hoping for a bit of magic in the second half. absolutely, i suppose as we get into the second half if there isn't a goal, we are then headed for that extra try, and being an english fan, those dreaded penalties, maybe? that's right, we've got a bit use to it throughout the tournament, those nail—biting moments. buti it throughout the tournament, those nail—biting moments. but i think people are really supporting england, they really want it, they are daring to dream. and the atmosphere here, they're still supportive, but that feeling, those high hopes they had are ebbing away — but there's still five minutes ago and we still have extra time in the penalties. nail—biting stuff here, everyone is filling up their glasses and looking forward to the next 45 minutes and may be something happening for england. £311" minutes and may be something happening for england. our fingers are crossed. _ happening for england. our fingers are crossed. i _ happening for england. our fingers are crossed, i was _ happening for england. our fingers are crossed, i wasjust _ happening for england. our fingers are crossed, i wasjust seeing - happening for england. our fingers are crossed, i wasjust seeing alan| are crossed, i was just seeing alan shearer, who's been commentating on bbc one, saying both teams are

maybe we might be headed for those dreaded penalties as well?— dreaded penalties as well? it could be both, england _ dreaded penalties as well? it could be both, england fancy _ dreaded penalties as well? it could be both, england fancy their - be both, england fancy their chances... but people are optimistic, i think they except that spain are the favourites, we are the best team so far, but 0—0. we spain are the favourites, we are the best team so far, but 0-0.- best team so far, but 0-0. we will leave you. — best team so far, but 0-0. we will leave you. our _ best team so far, but 0-0. we will leave you, our fingers _ best team so far, but 0-0. we will leave you, our fingers are - best team so far, but 0-0. we will leave you, our fingers are crossed | leave you, our fingers are crossed for the second half, don't forget you can follow that on bbc one and also the bbc sport live page. kasia madera will have a full bulletin of news for you at 9pm but let's check on the weather with chris fox. hello there. we're just coming up to the half way point of the month, and there are already a number of places that have seen in excess of the july average rainfall, particularly across southern and eastern england, the northeast of aberdeenshire, too. leading the league of misery is loftus, where we've had well over double thejuly average rainfall, and there's a bit more on the way

as well as we'll see over the next few days. now, on sunday, we did manage to see a bit of sunshine across southern and western areas of the uk, but the same area of low pressure out in the north sea continued to feed patches of rain in to parts of north east england and eastern scotland, where it will stay quite damp overnight for some. temperatures around 10—11 celsius overnight. and into monday morning, we start to see the next area of low pressure moving in from the southwest. this is going to be bringing a belt of heavy rain across england and wales through monday, monday night and into tuesday as well. the first signs of the rain, well, arriving across wales and southwest england, the rain turning heavy here quickly through monday morning with a chance of some rumbles of thunder, some localised flooding before the rain extends into south east england, east anglia, the midlands. north of that for northern england, northern ireland and scotland, it's a largely dry day with some pleasant spells of warm sunshine. top temperatures reaching the low 20s here, which will feel very pleasant. but through monday night we've got more rain to come, extending its way northwards and eastwards across england and wales, with the rain

across eastern areas of england reluctant to move away through tuesday. and this is part of the uk that has seen the most rainfall so far this month. so it looks like we'll see another dollop working in here monday night and into tuesday. against scotland and northern ireland, not faring too badly on tuesday, although there'll be some heavy showers, i think, for east scotland, parts of northeast england. where the sunshine comes out, temperatures reached the low 20s. and then something we've been hoping to see for a while. an area of high pressure moves in for wednesday. you can pencil in a decent day. most areas will be bright with some spells of lengthy sunshine, and it's going to feel warm in that sunshine as well, with temperatures reaching 24 celsius in london. 24 is actually average for this time of the year, but in that strong july sun it will feel very pleasant. the fine weather hangs around for most of england, wales, eastern scotland through thursday before we start to see the weather patterns return to a rather more unsettled—looking weather picture into the following weekend, with rain or showers around and temperatures back below average

for the time of year.

live from london. this is bbc news. joe biden promises a swift and thorough investigation into the assassination attempt against donald trump, as the ex—president issues a call for unity in america. an assassination attempt is contrary to everything we stand for as a nation, everything. it is not who we are as a nation. we cannot allow this to happen. the fbi says this is the gunman — 20—year—old thomas crooks. it's being reported that explosives were found in his vehicle and home. we're an hour in to the euros 2024

final with england taking on spain. england's men are fighting to end the almost six—decade wait for a major football trophy. so far neither team have scored... hello, i'm kasia madera. 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 when a gunman opened fire from the roof of a nearby building. mr trump dived for cover, bleeding from his right ear. 0ne 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 0'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
