and euphoric scenes in spain after a 2—1victory over england in the euro 2024 final. welcome to bbc news. we are live in milwaukee, wisconsin, wherejust 2a hours after surviving an assassination attempt, former us president donald trump has arrived to join the republican national convention. mr trump, saying today that while he considered delaying the trip. he could not allow a "shooter" to force a change in his schedule. around 6:11 local time on saturday evening, at a campaign event in pennsylvania, mr trump was grazed by a bullet that came from a shooter on the rooftop of a nearby shed. as shots rang out, mr trump put his hand to his ear, before dropping to the ground. a secret service sniper

returned fire, killing the shooter, who has been identified by the fbi as 20—year—old thomas matthew crooks. stunning photos showed mr trump with with blood streaming down his face underneath the scrum of secret service agents who swarmed to protect him. trump later confirmed he a bullet hit his right ear. after being raised to his feet, trump raised his fist in the air, gesturing to the crowd. questions are being asked about how the secret service failed to stop the suspect firing shots. on the eve of the forthcoming republican national convention here in milwaukee, the secret service says there will be "no change" to their security plan. we to their security plan. are confident in the current plan we are confident in the current plan we have. it is based off a technical assessment, protective intelligence, and we are continuously monitoring information related to events, so we are confident in the plans we have and are moving forward with those plans. we have new details tonight about the suspected shooter, thomas matthew crooks, though we do not yet know his motive. crooks was from bethel park,

pennsylvania, about an hour south of where he tried to assassinate former president trump. he was 20 years old. we're learning tonight that crooks had a membership at a nearby gun club for at least the past year. we've also learned he allegedly used his father's gun in the attack on trump. one of crook's former classmates told cbs news he was bullied in high school over his appearance, and often sat in the cafeteria alone. other classmates described him a different way — as a normal, quiet kid. here's one of his old classmates speaking to bbc news earlier today. he was always getting good grades on tests, things like that, he was passionate about history, and provide you with my friends, he was good in government classes, so anything in government or history, he seemed to know what he was talking about, but it was nothing out of the ordinary. he was a nice kid, and i never had an experience with him where i was like he, you know, is not nice. he was always nice, and i was always frantic to him.

the oversight is going to bring them in. we want to know what happened, why it happened and it could've been prevented. at this moment, let's see, let's allow our federal and local law enforcement to work the scene, get the proper information so that when they deliver that news to the american people, it is as accurate as possible in that timely fashion. indeed. some the — that timely fashion. indeed. some the questions - that timely fashion. indeed. some the questions of- that timely fashion. indeed. i some the questions of course unanswered. we saw the secret service talking about the convention here in milwaukee saying that they are not going to make major changes to their preparations. they said, "we've got this" in terms of security for the convention. there are questions being asked about wisconsin's open carry laws, for example. do you have concerns?— for example. do you have concerns? ., ., , concerns? so we had a briefing with the united _ concerns? so we had a briefing with the united states - concerns? so we had a briefing with the united states capitoli with the united states capitol police earlier today. they have been working this security for about a year and a half now. it's not a federal law enforcement but our local law

enforcement but our local law enforcement have descended upon milwaukee to make sure that we have a safe secure venue, and thatis have a safe secure venue, and that is who we are as americans and having been a law enforcement officer for 23 years and have done some dignitary protection, i trust our local law enforcement, the men and women in the blue and brown our last line of defence in our communities and they are going to work with our federal agencies and i'm quite confident that the vendors are going to be secure and we are going to be secure and we are going to be secure and we are going to have a really good convention. and really, really looking forward to president trump being nominated and then giving his acceptance speech to become our 47th president of the united states of america. congressman, bigger picture here, we heard calls from both sides of the aisle to lower the political temperature in the country right now. i know that you are someone who idolised former president reagan, and you got to meet him as well. he survived an assassination attempt as well. what do you

think needs to happen right now? ~ ., , now? well, i mean, listen, we can disagree — now? well, i mean, listen, we can disagree politically, - now? well, i mean, listen, we can disagree politically, but i can disagree politically, but we can never have violence. and i want to share with your viewers, i was shocked while off duty by a criminal and struck in the head on december 15, 1995, so i myself has survived a gunshot wound to the head. i am well aware of what the president trump is feeling right now and well aware of what the leader of the secret service is feeling as well. this type of incident brings back those moments in our lives, and i can tell you that it is simply unacceptable that the rhetoric has gotten this hot and heavy. we need as americans, again, we are americans, again, we are americans first, not democrats or republicans, we are americans first, and i think that this is, this incident, this unfortunate assassination on president trump's life i think is going to unite our

country to allow us to become a better place. mil country to allow us to become a better place-— better place. all right, congressman, - better place. all right, congressman, we - better place. all right, i congressman, we believe the conversation there for tonight but look forward to seeing you here in person in milwaukee. thank you so much forjoining us tonight. joining me now is former democratic congresswoman stephanie murphy and former republican congressman rodney davis. great to see you both. i want to first off get your take on what we heard from the congressman they're talking about the need to dial down the temperature and realised that the country has to be in this moment. the country has to be in this moment-— the country has to be in this moment. ., ,, ., ,, �* , moment. you know, i think he's absolutely _ moment. you know, i think he's absolutely right. _ moment. you know, i think he's absolutely right. both _ moment. you know, i think he's absolutely right. both sides i absolutely right. both sides need to turn down the temperature, whether you are talking about the attempt at assassinating gabby giffords or the baseball field shootings that rodney survived or

gretchen witmer escaping from the kidnapping attempts or january six. too much of our politics has resorted to violence, and we should always resort to the ballots, not bullets into votes not to violence. and so he is absolutely right to call on both parties to dial it down into make sure that we have a democracy in a way that isn't dangerous for people who are seeking public office. rodney, cominu seeking public office. rodney, coming to _ seeking public office. rodney, coming to you. _ seeking public office. rodney, coming to you, stephanie i seeking public office. rodney, coming to you, stephanie was| coming to you, stephanie was referring there, you are with congressman at that congressional baseball game in 2017 when he was shocked. he was on our partner cbs news today saying, "i think moments like yesterday just everybody, reset everything. in the

him to say? i hope he steps up to this moment _ him to say? i hope he steps up to this moment and _ him to say? i hope he steps up to this moment and leads with | him to say? i hope he steps up. to this moment and leads with a message of unity. we are in a very fraught election. and the american people need to hear from their leaders that, you know, we can disagree on policy, but that we are still americans at the end of the day. there is no room for violence when it comes to our elections are to our politics. so i am hopeful that he will lead with a message that brings this country together because i think more than anything we need leadership that unites as opposed to leadership that seeks to divide. and i certainly hope as we go into the republican convention as sore and as raw as the emotions are that the folks who take the stage of the republican convention do the same, that they also seek to unite as opposed to divide this country.

rodney, that would have also been my question to you. what do you anticipate we will see from both president trump when he eventually takes the stage at the convention but also his many surrogates who will be speaking on stage?- many surrogates who will be speaking on stage? well, first off, i speaking on stage? well, first off. i agree — speaking on stage? well, first off, i agree with _ speaking on stage? well, first off, i agree with stephanie. i off, i agree with stephanie. president biden tonight has got to deliver a message of unity, has got — to deliver a message of unity, has got to— to deliver a message of unity, has got to ask his party to tone — has got to ask his party to tone down the rhetoric and, frankly. _ tone down the rhetoric and, frankly, as we all know, president trump has never been one to _ president trump has never been one to tone down a lot of rhetoric. _ one to tone down a lot of rhetoric, but post debate, he has been _ rhetoric, but post debate, he has been the most disciplined candidate i've ever witnessed when — candidate i've ever witnessed when it — candidate i've ever witnessed when it comes to a trump campaign. so he was already prior— campaign. so he was already prior to — campaign. so he was already prior to the shooting, i believe, showing the american people — believe, showing the american people that he could tone down that rhetoric. and i think the rnc— that rhetoric. and i think the rnc and _ that rhetoric. and i think the rnc and him coming to milwaukee will continue to highlight what he has — will continue to highlight what he has done to change himself. i he has done to change himself. i certainly— he has done to change himself. i certainly hope that republicans up and down the ticket — republicans up and down the ticket who are going to be on stage — ticket who are going to be on

day of the week, and if we are objective about what is going on, former president trump has demonstrated that he is strong, he put his fist in the air and called for his supporters to fight. meanwhile the democratic party is still in a bit of a mess as they try to figure out how to continue with a candidate who has three quarters of the mega people believe he is not mentally... doesn't have the mental acuity to avoid it. those are the dynamics that we are facing in this race. right. 0k, running, 'ust this race. right. 0k, running, just quickly. _ this race. right. 0k, running, just quickly, your _ this race. right. 0k, running, just quickly, your take - this race. right. 0k, running, just quickly, your take as i just quickly, your take as well. ~ . . just quickly, your take as well. ~ , , ., ., well. well, despite all of the discussion _ well. well, despite all of the discussion online _ well. well, despite all of the discussion online and - well. well, despite all of the discussion online and in i well. well, despite all of the discussion online and in the | discussion online and in the media. _ discussion online and in the media. i_ discussion online and in the media, i think the presidential candidates will be donald trump and joe — candidates will be donald trump and joe biden. candidates will be donald trump andjoe biden. stephanie is right. —

you can hear the fireworks are already going off. england's grief is spain's glory and spain went into tonight's final as the favourites. they had won all of their matches going into tonight, and tonight's victory makes them the only european nation to win all of their games in an international tournament. now, i have to say you might not get it from them, but actually, as spain began the euros, many spaniards actually doubted the quality of their team. there were fewer players from the star clubs real madrid and barcelona, but there was a lot more. inexperience in youth. but it is the youth that has shone through. they are the youthful, the youthful stars at they are the youthful stars of the team and now are now national heroes. they will be, they will be, they will be revered as heroes for many a long,

long time to come. so once again, the spectacular spaniards have done it. european champions with a record breaking fourth time. and the fiesta clive will be going on for many nights to come. congratulations to spain. we will be back in the next hour for president biden's speech. state with bbc news. hello. we are very nearly halfway throughjuly, 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

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 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.
