trump picking jd vance. who was advocated for by donald trumpjunior for the better part of a year. and i think what you see with him as he presents the working core class voters, we all know his background, all of that, and if you look at trump supporters, many of them are working class, working poor, believe in trump, and this is the representation of that. it is also the extension bringing the modern movement to the younger generation. what you are seeing now with the takeover republican party, which is complete, donald trump owns this party, and it is a model party, now they want to extend it for generations to come and jd vance is that bridge. generations to come and jd vance is that bride. . �* , generations to come and jd vance is that bride. ., �* , ., generations to come and jd vance is that bride. . �* , ., , that bridge. that's an interesting ioint. the that bridge. that's an interesting point. the other _ that bridge. that's an interesting point. the other thing _ that bridge. that's an interesting point. the other thing that - that bridge. that's an interesting i point. the other thing that happens when you are on the tickets, you get your name on the trump jet. there it is, just in the last few minutes, that has been released. just going just underneath. this

not drop out of the race. i think he had been quartered today by donald trump, because fox news did report this morning and they would have this morning and they would have this meeting, lots of rumours going around about my meeting this morning with president trump. our main topic was national unity and i hope to meet with democratic leaders about that as well. no, i am not dropping out of the race. the republican side, talking about glass ceiling that republicans have hits, they are more worried about robert kennedy junior then perhaps the biden team are? he junior then perhaps the biden team are? , , , , ., , junior then perhaps the biden team are? , ,,, junior then perhaps the biden team are? , ,, , ., are? he expresses many of the same ideas and frankly _ are? he expresses many of the same ideas and frankly some _ are? he expresses many of the same ideas and frankly some of _ are? he expresses many of the same ideas and frankly some of the - are? he expresses many of the same ideas and frankly some of the same l ideas and frankly some of the same conspiracy— ideas and frankly some of the same conspiracy theories about vaccines that some — conspiracy theories about vaccines that some trump voters do. there's definitely— that some trump voters do. there's definitely a — that some trump voters do. there's definitely a crossover ideologically between _ definitely a crossover ideologically between folks who are interested in trump _ between folks who are interested in trump and — between folks who are interested in trump and folks are interested in rfkjunion — trump and folks are interested in rfkjunior. you think about trump and folks are interested in rfk junior. you think about this ticket, — rfk junior. you think about this ticket, now— rfk junior. you think about this ticket, now we know the vice

candidates would face the potential of a tax like we saw this weekend. and i am not actually convinced that we have come out of the woods yet. i think there are other developments to come in this race, and god forbid other acts of violence we see. and if you talk to federal law enforcement behind the scenes, they are very, very worried. they are, almost every cycle, worried about the rain core and the so—called chatter on social media, but the cycle more than any other i have witnessed inside or outside of government, federal law enforcement is on the highest level of alert and they are not convinced they have the resources to protect everyone they need to. i think that's a worry and not something that i have heard before in previous cycles. late not something that i have heard before in previous cycles. we will talk about security _ before in previous cycles. we will talk about security after - before in previous cycles. we will talk about security after the - before in previous cycles. we will i talk about security after the break, but you are right, the warning signs were there. nancy pelosi talked about the governor of michigan, who, of course, face to that kidnapping plot. i worry about our colleagues, orjournalistic plot. i worry about our colleagues, or journalistic colleagues as plot. i worry about our colleagues, orjournalistic colleagues as well who are on the rise in pittsburgh

this weekend and are coming under attack, verbal abuse as if they had somehow played a role in what had gone on. so i think there are real concerns around the rest of this campaign, particularly as the battle continues and it continues to get white—hot closer to the day. that's going to be something that will concern everybody. we will talk about security after the break. stay with us and we will be right back.

in her first public statement since the assassination attempt on donald trump, the us secret service director kimberly cheatle said today the agency will "participate fully" in an independent review ordered by the president biden and will work with congress on "any oversight action." but there are, already, plenty of questions about what went

wrong in pittsburg. new video has established that the shooter 20 year old thomas matthew crooks was crawling on the roof in full view of the crowd. just 150 yards from where the former president was speaking. we understand that one officer did climb up to the roofjust prior to the shooting, to confront him but reportedly crooks pointed the gun at the officer and so he backed off. we also understand that the secret service did not sweep the building he was on. the operational plan was for the local sniper teams to cover that building. which is pretty extraordinary when you consider how close it is to the stage. it was certainly a sensitive building. marin, this is $1 trillion economy, as miles was sort of hinting just before the break. it has to protect the people who are running for the highest office in the land. why is the secret service delegating to

local law enforcement to building 150 yards from where the potential next president is speaking? abs, 150 yards from where the potential next president is speaking? a great iuestion next president is speaking? a great question and _ next president is speaking? a great question and they _ next president is speaking? a great question and they will _ next president is speaking? a great question and they will always - next president is speaking? a great question and they will always claim | question and they will always claim they are short on resources and that may well be true. if that's the case, they need to be given more resources. i think there are a few other things going on here. number one, to go back to what miles was saying before the break, the threat level is against everybody now. it's notjust presidents and presidential candidates. governors and state election officials go down the list all have security now. local officials have death threats will stop i mean, everyone i know, pretty every security detail for pretty much every elected official because they all travel together. so that is an enormous drain on resources but it's necessary. so the secret service is clearly entrusted with presidential security details but when we start going down, come of equality, local police do job, state

police do a job. when you look at that event on saturday, i had it on, i always watch them, i saw it live, i saw plenty of events with the secret service and all of that, it just looked like it was coming up short. nothing quite looked right after it happened. and in terms of getting to the stage and the number of agents and when they finally got there and we can go on, but it was your colleague from the bbc that broke the story about the regular citizens from the area, trump supporters, who are pointing on the roof of the guy who had the gun and trying to get the attention of everybody, finally did and now they are our neighbours talking about the fact that there was no security around the perimeter. they had plastic ties around parts of the fence to hold it together that they could go through. when you look at it that way, it is shocking to me that given the level of rhetoric, the level of violence, the level of death threats against everybody

today and the lack of resources, you would have to say the secret service and other related agencies need to have even bigger budgets, the secret service has had a lot of challenges these last few years and decades with scandals and miss performances and the politicalisation of the secret service, who, for the first time ever during the trump years at the white house, brought secret service agents into work into the white house and employees. we saw the play out onjanuary six. by the grace of god, things didn't go as badly as they could have on saturday, but there is a lot to answer for. saturday, but there is a lot to answerfor. i saturday, but there is a lot to answer for-— saturday, but there is a lot to answer for. ., , , ., saturday, but there is a lot to answerfor. , ., ., answer for. i was 'ust looking at a iiece of answer for. i was 'ust looking at a piece of paper— answer for. i wasjust looking at a piece of paper which _ answer for. i wasjust looking at a piece of paper which i _ answer for. i wasjust looking at a piece of paper which i have - piece of paper which i have scribbled something on. it seems, brian, that the secret service the mid perimeter because of the staffing shortage that marin spoke about is shared with local law enforcement in the far perimeter also, itjust seems that it's too few cooks and things dropped through

a little earlier, the squad were given the royal seal of approval, meeting with king felipe the sixth at the royal residence in the capital. four european titles for them now, a record in the men's game — and an unforgettable few days for the squad. meanwhile, england's euro 2024 finalists have arrived back on british soil. a low—key return for them into gloomy weather that seems to match the nation's mood following that heartbreaking loss to spain. it was a second successive defeat in the european championship final for gareth southgate's men. the england manager promised that he will address speculation over his future and whether he'd be interested in extending his current contract — which expires in december — but not straight away. it's hard to reflect so soon after a defeat like this. of course, to take england to two finals is has never been done, but we came here to win

and we did that. —— we haven't been able to do that. and spare a thought for this england supporter. this is dan thomas — who before the final — chose to get a tattoo that declared england were "euro 2024 winners". he insists he doesn't regret it and will "not cover it up". no, i'm not going to remove it. yeah _ no, i'm not going to remove it. yeah, i've — no, i'm not going to remove it. yeah, i've got a plan which i've come _ yeah, i've got a plan which i've come up — yeah, i've got a plan which i've come up with this morning, so, going to hopefully— come up with this morning, so, going to hopefully wait for years, so it can stay— to hopefully wait for years, so it can stay on _ to hopefully wait for years, so it can stay on me for four years as a reminder— can stay on me for four years as a reminder and can stay on me for four years as a reminderand try to can stay on me for four years as a reminder and try to turn the four intoan— reminder and try to turn the four into an eight. he reminder and try to turn the four into an eight-— reminder and try to turn the four into an eight. he will be waiting a few more years. _ attentions now turn to england's women's side as they face sweden in gothenburg tomorrow. a draw in that match will be enough to see them qualify for next year's euros in switzerland. captain leah williamson was asked about her feelings when fans

sing "it's coming home", given the lionesses won the tournament 2 years ago. obviously sometimes you need to distinguish between men's and women's in certain settings, we obviously know what we did, i think the country remembers, the country had a fantastic summer, as did we, and the boys has given us those as well, the final results, obviously in for finals, one trophy has actually landed back in england. and that's for both of us to keep striving for more. ahead of the next major men's tournament in two years' time — the world cup in the usa — questions are being raised around venue safety, after trouble at the copa america final in miami. kick—off was delayed by 80 minutes. organisers said ticketless fans tried to get into the ground, causing chaos outside the hard rock stadium, which will host seven world cup games. there were clashes between fans and police officers and security, while some fans needed medical attention after congestion around the venue.

as for the match itself, it was a night of mixed emotions for argentina's lionel messi — he left the field in tears in the second half after injuring himself running for the ball. the match against colombia went in to extra time, with the winning goal coming in the 112th minute courtesy of inter milan substitute lautaro martinez. so messi wins the copa america for a second time, captaining his country to their third major title in three years. tennis, and britain's leading three men's players, jack draper, cameron norrie and dan evans, have been named in the davis cup team for the group stage in manchester in september. doubles specialistsjoe salisbury and neal skupski have also been included in the five—man team. but our tennis correspondent russell fuller says that after winning the men's doubles title at wimbledon over the weekend, henry patten could still feature. lyon smith will be able to make up to three changes to that team up until the day before the group

stages begin. clearly he's going to be very interested in how the players play over the next few weeks on the hard courts of north america and particularly at the us open which isjust and particularly at the us open which is just before the davis cup in manchester. meanwhile, britain's cam norrie has won his round of 32 match against slovakia'sjozef kovalik, at the atp swedish open in bastad. the british number two was forced in to a tie break in the first set, winning 7—6, before taking the second set 6—4. luke littler has been beaten by michael van gerwen in the first round of the world matchplay darts in blackpool. the three time world champion took full advantage of a below par performance from the teenage sensation, the dutchman winning by ten legs to six at the winter gardens. and that's all the sport for now. from me and the rest of the team here, see you soon. goodbye.

hello there! monday we saw a day of contrast some pleasant sunny spells across eastern scotland in particular, and a high of 2a degrees around the perth area. that's 75 fahrenheit. totally different story however further south and west, a day of heavy rain across cornwall in particular, where we saw three quarters of an inch in a 2k hour period, and some of the rain torrential, with thundery downpours in it. now that weather front is continuing to push its way steadily northwards and it will linger first thing on tuesday morning. not a bad start, though, for scotland once again. a few scattered sharp showers to the northwest of the great glen. a few showers developing as we go through the day, but on the whole, there will be a good dry slot with some sunny spells coming through. not a bad start into northern ireland, northwest england as well. here's our weatherfront at 10:00 in the morning, lingering across east yorkshire, lincolnshire gradually drifting its way eastwards. and then as we go through

the afternoon, we'll see sunny spells and scattered showers. but these showers across north east england, eastern scotland could be heavy with the odd rumble of thunder mixed in there once again on the whole, winds light, but again still from that cooler north westerly source. a bit more of a breeze, perhaps into the far south east, and temperatures certainly a little bit more subdued, particularly further north, we're looking at highs of 16—20 degrees. moving out of tuesday, though, into wednesday, high pressure is building and the wind direction changes to a south—westerly. that will draw up a brief spell of warm weather, so it will be a mild start to our wednesday morning. wednesday, on the whole will be dry with some sunshine for many of us to begin with. we will see a few showers developing as we go through the day. these should be fairly light, but nevertheless it's worth bearing in mind. a little bit of patchy cloudy drizzle to the northwest of the great glen here, but temperatures will respond on the whole. on wednesday. we're likely to see highest values of 21

degrees in scotland and 2a, perhaps this time in the southeast. and again, that is 75 fahrenheit. and we haven't seen 75 fahrenheit thisjuly. so let's take a look at what to expect as we head into the weekend. the high pressure will gradually ease away and weather fronts will then return, bringing wetter weather. so make the most of this brief warm spell. we could see temperatures peaking at 27 on friday. cooler, wetter conditions return for the weekend.
