live from milwaukee — where donald trump has now arrived for the republican national convention, one day after an attempt on his life in pennsylvania. the former president said he will not allow a shooter or potential assassin to force him to change his plans. we are expecting presidentjoe biden to adress the nation live from the oval office any moment. speaking earlier today, the president promised a swift and thorough investigation into the assassination attempt. questions are being asked about how the secret service failed to stop the suspect firing shots. and with attention now focused on protecting the former president and other attendees in milwaukee, the secret service says — they are fully prepared. we are confident in the current plan that we have, based of a technical assessment, protective intelligence and we continuously monitor

information related to the events so we are confident in the plans we have and we are moving forward with those plans. live now to the oval office and president biden. we must stand together. yesterday's shooting at donald trump �*s rally in pennsylvania called on all of us to take a step back. take stock of where we are, how we go forward from here. thankfully, former trump is not seriously injured. i spoke to him last night and i am grateful he is doing well andjill and i am grateful he is doing well andjilland i keep him am grateful he is doing well andjill and i keep him and am grateful he is doing well andjilland i keep him and his family and our prayers. we also send our deepest condolences to the family of the vic who was killed. corey was of husband, father, a volunteer firefighter and a hero shielding his family from the bullets. we should hold his family and all those injured in our prayers. earlier today i spoke about an ongoing investigation. we do not know the motive of the shooter yet, we do not know his opinions or affiliations. we do not know whether he had help or support

or if he communicated with anyone else. law enforcement professionals as i speak are investigating those questions. tonight i want to speak to what we do know. a former president was shot, an american citizen killed while simply exercising his freedom to support the candidate of his choosing. we cannot and must not walk down this road in america. we have travelled before in history. violence has never been the answer, whether it is with members of congress in both parties being targeted and shot or a violent mob attacking the capital onjanuary 6 or a capital on january 6 or a beautiful capital onjanuary 6 or a beautiful attack on the spouse of the former speaker of the house nancy pelosi. more information and intimidation on election officials of the kidnapping plot against a sitting governor. all the attempted assassination on donald trump. there is no place in america for this kind of violence, for any violence ever. period. no exceptions. we

cannot allow this violence to be realised. the political temperature in this country has gotten heated. it is time to cool down. we all have a responsibility to do that. we have deeply felt and strong disagreements and the stakes in this election are enormously high. i said this election are enormously high. isaid it this election are enormously high. i said it many times, that the choice we make in this election will shape the future of america and the world for decades to come. i believe that with all my soul. i know that millions of my fellow americans believe that as well. and some have a different view as to the direction our country should take. this agreement is part of human nature and must never become a killing field. politics must leave room for peaceful debate, to pursue justice, to make decisions back by the declaration of independence and our

constitution. we stand for in america not of extremism and fury but of decency and grace. all of us now face a time of testing is this election approaches and the higher the stakes are more fervent and passionate it becomes. this places an added burden on each of us to ensure that no matter how strong our convictions we must never descend into violence. republican convention will start tomorrow. i have no doubt they will criticise my record and offer their own vision for this country. i will travel this week and making the case for my vision of this country, ourvision. iwill continue to speak out strongly for our democracy, stand up for our constitution and rule of law. to call for action at the ballot box, no violence on our streets. that is how democracy should work. we debate and disagree and compare and contrast the character of the candidates, the records and the issues on the agenda, the vision for america. but in

america we resolve our difference at the ballot box. that is how we do it. at the ballot box, not with bullets. the power to change america should always rest in the hands of the people, not in the hands of the people, not in the hands of would—be assassins. the past competing visions of the campaign should be resolved peacefully, not through acts of violence. we are the greatest country on earth and i believe that with every power of my being. so tonight i ask every american to recommit, to make america... think about it. what has made america so special? here in america everyone must be treated with dignity and respect and hate must have no safe harbour. here in america we need to get out of our silos and only listen to those who we agree. misinformation is rampant. where foreign actors fan the flames of our division to shape the outcome is with their interest, not ours. let's

remember, here in america a union is the most elusive of goals right now. nothing is more important right now. we must stand together. we can do this. from the beginning our founders understood the power of passion. and they created a democracy. it gave reason and balance a chance to prevail over brute force. that is the america we must be. the american democracy must remain in good faith. american democracy where the rule of law is respected, american democracy where decency and dignity and fair play and not just quaint notions but leaving —— living and breathing realities. we know that those who have come before us and those who gave their lives for this country, we owe that to ourselves. we owe it to our children and grandchildren. look, let's never lose sight of who we are. let's remember that we are the united states of

america. there is nothing, nothing, nothingjoined america. there is nothing, nothing, nothing joined our capacity we do it together. god bless you all and may god protect our troops.- bless you all and may god protect our troops. you were 'ust protect our troops. you were just watching _ protect our troops. you were just watching president - protect our troops. you were | just watching president biden deliver an address to the nation from the oval office. he was referencing the attempted assassination that took place against former president trump just yesterday and a quick note on what he was saying, he was talking about the need for americans to come together and stand for decency and grace and he also said that we must never descend into violence, politics should never be a living battlefield, asking every american to reconnect. you mentioned the fact that he had a short phone call with donald trump after the attempted assassination on saturday night. it's go to our correspondent in butler pennsylvania where the attempted assassination actually took place. she has been reporting there all day

today. jenny, good to see you. your take on what we heard from the president? a message of unity but also the need to live with differences, for people to talk about the differences and debate but to have dignity and respect. and he basically alluded to the fact that in coming days the campaign will pick up. he is expecting at the convention for his record in office to be criticised and he will continue to campaign, essentially, but the key message was having dignity and respect and about reconnecting and moving forward after this tragic event.— after this tragic event. jenny, he spoke _ after this tragic event. jenny, he spoke about _ after this tragic event. jenny, he spoke about the _ after this tragic event. jenny, he spoke about the stakes i after this tragic event. jenny, he spoke about the stakes in | he spoke about the stakes in the selection being very high as well. tell us more about what he said there.-

analysis editor has been working with the team at bbc verified to piece together the video, eyewitness testimony and satellite imagery from that rally in pennsylvania. how did the us secret service failed to stop this? the fbi says that this was an attempted assassination and it is surprisingly attack was able to open fire. bbc verified examine video, 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 he took the stage at three minutes past six. there were bleaches behind him and secret service snipers on the roof. just over 100 metres away with these buildings outside the rally venue. from the nearest there was a clear line of sight to the stage. this video shows the same building. it was filmed at ten minute plus six. we know this because we can hear trompe's speech in

the background. a small building on the right was 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 and eyewitness also told bbc that while trompe was speaking they saw someone on the roof. brute was speaking they saw someone on the roof-— on the roof. we noticed a guy crawlin: on the roof. we noticed a guy crawling bear _ on the roof. we noticed a guy crawling bear crawling - on the roof. we noticed a guy crawling bear crawling up - on the roof. we noticed a guy crawling bear crawling up the | crawling bear crawling up the roof of the building beside us. he had a gun? he had arrival we could clearly see him with the rifle and the police will like what? they did not know what was going on. the what? they did not know what was going om— what? they did not know what was going on-_ was going on. the police have not responded _ was going on. the police have not responded to _ was going on. the police have not responded to this - was going on. the police have not responded to this claim. l not responded to this claim. there is also this video filmed by a member of the public showing the government as he opens fire. at 11 minutes past six there were three shots. trompe raises his hand right ear and ducks. there were more shots. one person in the crowd was killed and two others critically injured. this video shows an injured man being carried away. cross—referencing with other videos we know that this is in the bleacher to the

right of the stage. that is consistent with the shot being fired from the roof towards trompe. seconds after the shots were fired in the words of the secret service, snipers neutralise the shooter. this video shows a person motionless on the roof of the building. on the stage secret service agents surrounded donald trump before moving him away. we have a clear picture of how the assassination that mike attempted assassination played out. the investigation will want to find out if the secret service could have done more to prevent it. we will speak more about this with a national politics reporter from time magazine. eric, it is good to have set here in milwaukee. we have set here in milwaukee. we have just been looking at a video on what happened during the time, during the assassination attempt in butler pennsylvania. it is interesting to note that you were there as well. what did you experience? i was in the press pull about 100 yards from the stage and at some point early on in the

former presidents speed you could hear pop, pop, pop and people did not know what it was, they thought it was fired crackers and then you saw donald trump go to the ground and secret service agents on top of him and covered him. you heard more shooting, people said to get down and after a certain period of time they cleared trump from the scene and everyone started to evacuate. because it was a crime scene. it was a frantic and distressing moment. could ou see and distressing moment. could you see what — and distressing moment. could you see what happen _ and distressing moment. could you see what happen question | you see what happen question what did you have a clear line of vision? i what did you have a clear line of vision?— what did you have a clear line of vision? ., ~ ., , ., , of vision? i did not know shots were coming — of vision? i did not know shots were coming from. _ of vision? i did not know shots were coming from. my - of vision? i did not know shots were coming from. my first. were coming from. my first reflex was that it was a mass shooting in the rally —goers were being targeted. so the press pool got on the ground and hid behind the rafters at some point afterwards i went into the stands where other rally —goers were and the weather shooting took place and it was clear that had come from an elevated position on a rooftop adjacent to the facility.

victim of an assassination attempt and he has run a campaign based on a theme of victimhood and i also think that this is a very unique circumstance where he feels that not only you can rally the republicans together around this but now he is able to rally more americans he thinks he can broaden the temp of people who are in good and feel that this shorter thing should not happen. he that this shorter thing should not happen-— that this shorter thing should not hauen. ., . not happen. he has now arrived here in milwaukee, _ not happen. he has now arrived here in milwaukee, what - not happen. he has now arrived here in milwaukee, what you i here in milwaukee, what you think we will see from him at this convention based on what you just said, this unifying moment? i you just said, this unifying moment?— you just said, this unifying moment? ~' , . moment? i think he will try and certainly capitalise _ moment? i think he will try and certainly capitalise on _ moment? i think he will try and certainly capitalise on what - certainly capitalise on what happened to him but he will also try to use this as a way to have a strong messaging going into the next spate of the campaign cycle and in some level it changes some of the messaging. you will obviously still have a ofjoe biden and you will hear him hammer the issues he thinks are most resonant for voters such as immigration and the economy and we will also see a lot of talk of look at us and look at what

is happening, look at other side is doing to try and take president trump out. you will see him double down on that message of they are trying to come after me because i am in the way of them coming up to you as an appeal to his supporters. you as an appeal to his supporters— you as an appeal to his supporters. you as an appeal to his su orters. ., ., y., “ supporters. how do you think the election _ supporters. how do you think the election campaign - supporters. how do you think the election campaign will. supporters. how do you think. the election campaign will play out? we saw the election campaign will play out? we sanoe biden speaking a few minutes ago from the oval office saying that the rnc you will see some's circuits on stage criticising my record. i will now go on the road to tell my record and there are different visions but you cannot become violent in the debate. how do you think we will see that play out here? one thing that you will see republicans try to do is neutralise one of the main issues that democrats have used to discredit the trompe campaign. they attack him on the abortion issue, they are taking on democracy related issues and attacked him on political violence with january 6 being the culmination of that. the republicans think that. the republicans think that in the wake of this event

they can take away that line of attack and even try and reverse it. . . . ., , it. eric, we are waiting to see who donald — it. eric, we are waiting to see who donald trump _ it. eric, we are waiting to see who donald trump 's - it. eric, we are waiting to see who donald trump 's vice - who donald trump 's vice presidential pic will be. there is a lot of speculation it will bejd is a lot of speculation it will be jd vance is a lot of speculation it will bejd vance was come out after this assassination attempt. what are you hearing? i hear it is limited to three choices right now, jd vance, marco rubio as well as governor doug burgin. that was speculation, it may have been announced yesterday or it will be announced on monday before the delegates have to pick their nominee. i think it will come soon, probably one of those things, donald trump does like surprises. things, donald trump does like surrises. �* , . ., things, donald trump does like surprises-— surprises. always great to talk to ou, surprises. always great to talk to you. thank _ surprises. always great to talk to you, thank you _ surprises. always great to talk to you, thank you for - surprises. always great to talk to you, thank you forjoining i to you, thank you forjoining us tonight. to you, thank you for 'oining us tonight. thank you for havin: us tonight. thank you for having me- _ us tonight. thank you for having me. we _ us tonight. thank you for. having me. we mentioned us tonight. thank you for - having me. we mentioned that president joe _ having me. we mentioned that president joe biden _ having me. we mentioned that president joe biden spoke - presidentjoe biden spoke earlierfrom the oval presidentjoe biden spoke earlier from the oval office, let's see if we can hear a clip of that. it looks like we do
