10:30 pm
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. 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." we're just waiting to see if things have cleared, and as you can see, we're on the ground behind our car,
10:31 pm
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, 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?"
10:32 pm
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. 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 is as well as breathe for him. president trump was taken straight off to the local butler county hospital.
10:33 pm
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. 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
10:34 pm
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? president biden is to make a nationwide tv address at 8pm us time. but earlier he made remarks on the attempted assassination of former president trump. last night i spoke 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
10:35 pm
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. 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
10:36 pm
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 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
10:37 pm
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 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.
10:38 pm
that is president biden with his latest remarks on the attempted assassination attempt on donald trump. he said he was going to make another statement from the oval office at 8pm washington time, iam uk time. in the meantime, donald trump is heading for the republican national convention, which starts in milwaukee tomorrow. there was some speculation about him delaying that, but you posted earlier that he would go to it, saying that he would not allow a shooter or potential assessing to force them to re—sugar his plans. now, he is expected to be formally confirmed as the republican candidate for novembers presidential election at that event. we would also expecting him to maybe name who is vice presidential running mate would be. whether that happens or not, or whether the schedule changes because of the assassination attempt, we will wait to see. the
10:39 pm
fbi have been briefing journalists and a phone call that this happened, and a phone call that this happened, and a phone call that this happened, and a lots ofjournalists have been asking about the dangers of wisconsin's open carry laws. basically, you are able to carry guns in wisconsin. and the secret service says that it will ban guns within the federal spaces it controls within the convention, but a spokesman says it cannot control of the soft perimeter outside what they called their federal jurisdiction. the milwaukee mayor says that on a local level, the city can ban the items that we could ban, and bending weapons within the outer perimeter is not within its purview, but the fbi says there is no specific threats at the moment against the convention. he has said,
10:40 pm
the fbi spokesperson, there has been an uptick in social media with people talking about what happened on saturday evening and ahead of the convention on monday, but they say that social media is being monitored closely because of that, and crucially, the republican convention will receive what the secret service say is the highest level of security because, of course, there are no in of questions around the secret service and the security level that was at that rally on saturday where that gunman was able to fire the shots at former president donald trump. so the question is, how did the attempt donald trump unfold, and how is it that the former president was not protected? our analysis editor ros atkins has been working with the team at bbc verify to piece together videos, eyewitness testimony and satellite imagery from the rally yesterday in pennsylvania.
10:41 pm
how did the us secret service fail to stop this? gunfire. get down, get down, get down! the fbi says this was an attempted assassination, that it's surprising the attacker was able to open fire. bbc verify has examined videos, eyewitness testimony, and satellite imagery to build up a detailed picture of how that happened. on saturday night, donald trump was speaking at a campaign event in the city of butler, in pennsylvania. he took to the stage at 6.03pm. there were bleachers behind him and secret service snipers on the roof. just over 100 metres away with these buildings, outside the rally venue. from the nearest, the gunman had a clear line of sight to the stage. this video shows the same buildings — it was filmed at 6.10pm — we know this because we can hear trump's speech in the background. the smaller building on the right is the one the gunman was on. in this video, we see a man talking to someone who appears to be a police officer — they both look at the buildings.
10:42 pm
an eyewitness also told the bbc that, while trump was speaking, they'd seen someone on the roof. we noticed a guy crawling, you know, bear—crawling up the roof of the building beside us. we're pointing at the guy crawling up the roof. and he had a gun, right? he had a rifle — we could clearly see him with a rifle. and the police were like, "huh, what?" you know, like, they didn't know what was going on. the police haven't responded to this claim. there's also this video, filmed by a member of the public, and showing the gunman as he opens fire. at 6.11pm, there were three shots. trump raises his hand to his right ear and ducks. there were more shots. one person in the crowd was killed, two others were critically injured. this video shows an injured man being carried away. cross—referencing with other videos, we know this is in the bleacher to the right of the stage — that's consistent with the shot being fired from the roof towards trump. seconds after the shots were fired, in the words of the secret service, snipers neutralised the shooter. this video shows a person motionless on the roof of the building. on the stage, secret service agents
10:43 pm
surrounded donald trump before moving him away. we have a clear picture of how this attempted assassination played out. the investigation will want to find out why the secret service didn't do more to prevent it. that is our analysis editor russ atkins. another line we are getting from the bbc us partner, cvs. law enforcement source confirming to cvs that bomb material was found in the goodmans residence and vehicle. the devices are being described by the fbi as rudimentary. the source told cbs that the materials are being analysed in an fbi lab at the agencies based in virginia, so that is the latest. the reminder, we have a live page running on the bbc news website and app with the very latest on reaction to the assassination attempt and the fbi revealing new details about the man behind the
10:44 pm
trump shooting. you can find all of that information at the bbc news website and the news app. and as i mentioned earlier, president biden is due to address the nation at 8pm. we will have that life here on bbc news. it's quarter to 11 and it's heartbreak for english football fans. england have lost the euro 2024 final in berlin. spain beat them 2—1 to become the first ever team to win the tournament four times. let's take you through the goals. the first half of the game ended goalless. but then just after the second half started this happened. nico williams scored. it's was lovely move with the spanish teenager sensation lamine yamal at the centre of it. it fell to nico williams, free
10:45 pm
inside the box, and he steered it beyond jordan pickford. the equaliser came in the 73rd minute. and bukayo sa ka and bukayo saka gets it through, and they try to tear palmer, oh yes. it came from cole palmer — who equalised from about 22 yards out. at that point england were back in it. but the spanish fought back to break english hearts. mikel oyarzabal steered it past jordan pickford. a few thought he might be offside but he wasn't and that was the winner for spain.
10:46 pm
spain has done something no other team has done, they have won the euro championship for a fourth time. england's players look utterly dejected. prince william has just posted. "this time it just wasn't meant to be. we're all still so proud of you. onwards @england. let's hear what gareth southgate had to say about the game. today, we didn't keep possession of the ball quite well enough, especially when we defended well, we got moments where they press you well, you have to get out of that pressure, and we weren't able to do that. in the end, it meant they had more control of the game and that can wear you down a bit. that said, we were still right in their one we got the equaliser, so the game was still wide open. i need to see both to go back to really watch them
10:47 pm
back, but obviously a big chance at the end as well to equalise, so as always in these games, its fine margins but i think they were the best team in a tournament and over the piece, they deserve to win. substitutes change things for you during _ substitutes change things for you during the tournament, call palmer almost _ during the tournament, call palmer almost did — during the tournament, call palmer almost did it again, but you think it was_ almost did it again, but you think it was one — almost did it again, but you think it was one game or moment to fire? i don't it was one game or moment to fire? don't know. it was one game or moment to fire? i don't know. it's easy to say that, and there's definitely a disadvantage to having a decent —— a day less to prepare, but we were still in the game at 80 minutes, and it would take a wild to sort of pick all the bones out of it. you it would take a wild to sort of pick all the bones out of it.— all the bones out of it. you took harry kane _ all the bones out of it. you took harry kane off. _ all the bones out of it. you took harry kane off, your— all the bones out of it. you took harry kane off, your captain, i harry kane off, your captain, england's— harry kane off, your captain, england's record goal—scorer, has getting _ england's record goal—scorer, has getting the best out of him in this tournament been a bit of a problem? physically. _ tournament been a bit of a problem? physically, it's been a tough. firm
10:48 pm
stop he came in a short of games, not quite got up to the level that we would have all hoped. the games were hugely demanding and we felt ollie watkins freshness would allow us to press better, which we needed to do, and offer us if threat behind, so i thought the two substitutes that came on did what we wanted the cash them to do. let's head to olly foster. gareth southgate said it was hard to take but a victory for attacking football. spin where the better side across the whole of the tournament. they were, and gareth southgate conceded today, he was gracious in defeat. you can seejust conceded today, he was gracious in defeat. you can see just how much that hurt him. interestingly, in another interview, he was asked if it was it for him after 102 games in
10:49 pm
eight years which has led this england team, taking them out of a dark place, the roy hodgson era, where they got beat by iceland to european championships ago, and then be some outer diced tobacco. gareth southgate has had such a positive impact on this england team, but she says that is not a decision for now. they will go away and think about it again when he looks up back at the mash and other tournament. they haven't been particularly good, written their luck stop and when you compare to how it's being progressed through this tournament, winning all seven of their matches in winning this championship for a record fourth time, no site has done that in the history of the tournament, and their attacking talents. we cite this again, nico williams scored their opener, set up by yamine lamal, given the young player of the tournament award, scoring is a
10:50 pm
16—year—old in the semifinals, a 17—year—old he became yesterday. they have been for years. it was an unheralded spain player, their substitute, michaela res about, scored late and they couldn't respond. they tried to threw everything at spain, thought the force extra time again with the berlin header cleared off the line by danny orval, who had another fantastic tournament for the spanish team. you are right, there were deserving winners but i don't think that makes it that much easier for england because that is now back to back euro final defeats. seven of the players who started in the final this evening in berlin, they were also in that team that lost to the italians three years ago at wembley stop gareth southgate said they would've learned from that, there will be tougher for it, and the experience of reaching the first final in so long would put them in
10:51 pm
goods instead. they would not be in all of walking into another state in for a major championship final. the first on foreign shores were england's ben as well. they were simply beaten by the better team. goalless at half—time, they cancel each other out, but england could not get enough of the ball to get it to their attacking talents, jude bellingham, bukayo saka. they had their changes but spain, just as they have shown for the last month here in germany, are an extremely good side, well drilled, and a pleading of the football when going forward. he scored the two goes that was all they needed to become record european champions for a fourth time. england captain harry kane has been speaking after the game. here's what he has to say. losing a final is a stuff— here's what he has to say. losing a final is a stuff of— here's what he has to say. losing a final is a stuff of it gets, _ here's what he has to say. losing a final is a stuff of it gets, we - final is a stuff of it gets, we did was to— final is a stuff of it gets, we did

10:54 pm
two european championship finals, yes they lost both of them, a world cup semifinal, his first major championship, did not hit the heights in qatar at the world cup. his impact on this england team has been huge, it's his team. when we heard from gareth southgate before, heard from gareth southgate before, he was on his for the first time. i think, harry kane, is captain has not looked right here, england's broke —— record go score with 66 euros and 98 appearances, and gareth southgate has a tonne of appearances with this team as manager, but harry kane was not right and has been substitute for the last three games, something we are not used to seeing at all. i think england have big decisions to make, harry kane is 31, kyle walker 3a, john stones 30, luke shaw 30. but there are sparks, kobbie mainoo 19, jude bellingham, we know a superstar he is, 21, declan rice still in his mid—20s and
10:55 pm
phil foden. whoever comes into this england team will inherit a good team, and maybe next time, they're looking to the world cup in two years' time, maybe next time. indeed, maybe next time it would be coming home. thank you, that is olly foster live in berlin after that defeat for england — to— once it's beenin defeat for england — to— once it's been in the euro 2024 final. kasia madera will have the headlines for your the top of the hour, that is take a check on the weather. hello. we are very nearly halfway throuthuly, and the month so far has been decidedly cool — and for some of us, very wet indeed. there is some heavy rain in the forecast for the week ahead, but it is likely to turn drier and warmer, at least for a time. in the short term, though, it is this area of low pressure that is swirling its way in from the southwest, and this frontal system, which is going to generate some very heavy rain across the south of the uk during monday. further north, many places getting off to a fine start with some sunshine, but let's zoom in — some heavy thundery downpours
10:56 pm
for the channel islands, turning very wet across southern england, south west england and also wales likely to see some particularly heavy rain through the day, which could give rise to some localised flooding and some transport disruption. that cloud spilling its way northwards all the while across the midlands, north wales, eventually into northern england. northern ireland not doing too badly — some sunny spells but increasing amounts of cloud. sunny spells and just one or two showers across scotland, although it could stay quite grey and quite murky up towards the far north — 14 degrees there for lerwick. but come further south, a fairly warm feel, particularly for these north sea coast where it has been so cool over recent days. temperatures getting up into the low 20s. now, that wet weather continuing to spill its way northwards across parts of england and wales as we go through monday night into the first part of tuesday morning, something a little bit drier and clearer out towards the west. and that rain will linger for parts of northern england down into the midlands, east anglia as we go through the day on tuesday. further west, though, we will see some spells of sunshine, albeit with some scattered heavy showers. and temperatures on tuesday, well, it's not going to feel too
10:57 pm
bad if you get yourself into some sunshine. typically high teens, low 20s celsius, but perhaps a little bit cooler than that where the rain lingers for any length of time. now, as we move into the middle part of the week, this area of high pressure will tend to build. and that means actually on wednesday, a lot of fine weather around, some spells of sunshine, just one or two showers here and there. the frontal system is likely to bring rain into northern ireland later in the day, but ahead of that it is going to be pretty warm. in fact, temperatures down towards the south east corner could well get to 24 or 25 degrees. now, that drier and warmer weather will hold on for some of us as we head through the end of the week. but generally the further north and west you are across the uk turning unsettled again, turning cooler as well.

10:59 pm
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. the assassination attempt, 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. 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. and heartache for england after spain score a late goal to win the euro 2024 final.
11:00 pm
hello. america is reeling tonight from an assassination attempt on donald trump. it happened at a rally in pennsylvania, when a gunman on a nearby roof evaded security and shot at mr trump, who dived for cover. one member of the crowd was killed while protecting his family, and two others were injured. the gunman was subsequently shot and killed by the secret service. donald trump has called for americans to stand united after the attack — and president biden has condemned it. but as well as shock, there has been immediate blame and counter—blame — and also a strong sense of foreboding as to what this means for the us. for ourfirst report tonight, our correspondent gary o'donoghue is in pennsylvania and was at the rally where the attack took place. and you know, that's
11:01 pm
a little bit old, that... it was just a few minutes into donald trump's speech
