before heading to central madrid for a victory parade. we begin this hour in the us swing state of wisconsin — where two days after their presidential candidate narrowly escaped an assassination attempt, thousands of republicans have gathered in the city of milwaukee for their convention, which has formally confirmed donald trump as its nominee for the election in november. in the last few hours mr trump has confirmed the ohio senatorjd vance will be his vice—presidential running mate. this is the moment mr vance was announced at the convention — to huge fanfare. if the ticket wins, mr vance, who is 39, will be the second youngest vice president in american history. mr vance has opposed immigration and assistance to ukraine. earlier, mr trump won a significant legal victory, when a federaljudge threw out a case in which he was charged with illegally holding onto classified papers after leaving office.

our north america correspondent sarah smith has this report. this is the moment donald trump officially became the republican candidate for president. after amassing enough votes from state delegations. not a surprise, but momentous. he has a very good chance of winning that election. and his running mate has been revealed ast vance, a young senator who was first elected just two years ago. jd vance has been a very loyal lieutenant to donald trump throughout this campaign. the ohio senator grew up in poverty and wrote a well—known book, hillbilly allergy, about his working class roots. he was not initially a trump fan. you have been asked this before about past comments you made about donald trump. you said i am a never trump guy. never liked him, terrible candidate.

idiot if you voted for him. now he is a complete convert, aggressively seeking to blame joe biden for donald trump being shot at, saying on social media... trump the survivor says he's bringing a message of unity, and that's a dramatic change in tone from a man who is usually so pugnacious and belligerent. he's told a conservative newspaper that he's completely rewritten his speech, saying, "it is a chance to bring the country together. i was given that chance." he wrote on his own social media site: "it was god alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening," and that "it's more important than ever that we stand united." the worst president in the history of our country... donald trump was only minutes into his speech to a campaign rally in pennsylvania when the shots came.

if you want to really see something that's sad, take a look at what happened... gunshots. get down, get down, get down! gunshots. if he'd not turned his head at that precise moment, he would almost certainly have been killed. gunshots. get down, get down, get down! gunshots. the bullet that grazed his ear can be seen streaking past in this picture. it was a very near—death experience. applause. then he instinctively demonstrated his defiance to the crowd. cheering. creating an iconic image that will now define this election campaign. on social media, his supporters are claiming it was divine intervention that saved his life, calling it a miracle. he'll be greeted like a saint as well as a hero this week. my fellow americans... president biden gave a rare live address from the oval office last night, saying politicians can debate and disagree without it leading to physical attacks. we can't allow this violence to be normalised. you know, the political

rhetoric in this country has gotten very heated.

he's a clone of trump on the issues. a clone of trump on the issue. so i don't see any difference. the fbi says it has now gained access to the phone of the man who tried to assassinate donald trump. agents have carried out around a hundred interviews, as they gather information on thomas crooks. he was shot dead by secret service agents, but his motive for the attempted assassination, is unclear. so what do we know about the gunman? here's emma va rdy. what was in the mind of this young man is still unknown. thomas crooks. he'd graduated from high school two years ago, said to be good at maths, and later worked as an assistant at a nursing home. now the eyes of the international media

are on the house where thomas crooks lived. hi, handsome! kelly was one of a number of neighbours evacuated as police investigated a suspicious device at his home. we were overrun with law enforcement agents from literally everywhere and given no explanation. and your neighbour, what was he like? he would just avidly walk the neighbourhood, um, and always had on like beats style headphones and kind of seems like your average american dorky young man. atjust 20 years old, this would have been the first presidential election that thomas crooks was old enough to vote in, and there are still many unanswered questions about why he left this quiet neighbourhood, ended up coming inches away from killing donald trump. what we do know is that thomas crooks was a member of this gun club, which has condemned what it called the senseless violence. how typical is it for people to own guns in this area? yeah, hunting is something that's, you know, really typical in western pennsylvania. and i think belonging to a gun club, you know, having something like a rifle team like bethel park has,

honing your craft and being a better shot is pretty typical throughout western pennsylvania for gun owners. when thomas crooks died on this roof, shot by the secret service, he was wearing a t—shirt, the merchandise of a popular youtuber who creates glamorised gun content for millions of subscribers. now the fbi is trawling through thomas crooks' life, his mobile phone and online activity, to try to understand the beliefs and motivations of the young man who has changed the course of this election. emma vardy, bbc news, bethel park, pennsylvania. there are many questions surrounding the secret service, whose main duty is to protect presidents past and present. how could agents have failed so woefully in their task with donald trump? congress has launched an investigation, into what happened. here's ros atkins from bbc verify. there is more evidence there were warnings in the minutes before this happened. those shots were fired at 6.11

on saturday by a man on this roof, 130 metres away from the stage where donald trump was speaking. the us homeland security director has said a direct line of sight like that to the former president should not occur. but not only was there a direct line of sight, there were warnings about a possible threat. this video has emerged from 1.45 before the attack. look, there he is. in this clip people have noticed a man on a roof and shouting at an officer. he is on the roof. him, right on the roof. it is confirmation some police knew about the threat close to two minutes before the attack was to bend this video filmed by a spectator inside the rally shows the seconds before the attack. we see a person running, apparently aware there is an issue. that adds to this video filmed at 6.10 showing a man in and what appears to be a police officer looking at the buildings.

and then there is this account. how did the us secret service failed to stop this? gunshot smack. get down, get down, get down. screaming 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 6.0 3pm. there were bleachers behind him and secret service snipers on a roof. just over 100 metres away where 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 6.10 pm. 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. an eyewitness also told the bbc that while trump on the stage, secret service agents surrounded donald trump before moving him away. we have a clear picture of how this attempted assassination played out. the investigation want to find out why the secret service didn't do more to prevent it. donald trump survived the attack in pennsylvania, but corey comperatore, who was 50, and in the crowd at the rally, died while shielding his family. the governor of pennsylvania, josh shapiro, says he �*died a hero.�* here's tom symonds. screaming. as security service agents put their bodies between donald trump and the shooter, in the crowd, a father did the same for his family. corey comperatore, at the rally with his wife and daughter, was hit in the head during the shooting. emergency doctorjim sweetland tried unsuccessfully to keep him alive. i looked up to see his family, who had witnessed my efforts at resuscitation, and the look on their faces said it all. my heart goes out to that family. my prayers go out to them.

he was a volunteer fire chief, an engineer, a husband and a father. his daughter allyson has posted: "he truly loved us enough to take a real bullet for us, and i want nothing more than to cry on him and tell him thank you. i want nothing more than to wake up and for this not to be a reality for me and my family." but his death has devastated two families, the other being the fire service near pittsburgh where he volunteered. he's a man that would give the shirt off his back to anyone. imean... in his last moments, he was shielding his family from the gunfire. even if that was just a the civilian beside him, he would have done the same thing. an online fundraiser for his family is approaching $1 million. one donor said his actions had reminded a nation of what it truly meant to be a dad. tom symonds, bbc news.

dr harry melkonian is, honorary associate at the united states studies centre in sydney. he told me about his biggest takeaway so far, from the first day of the republican convention .( sot tx) day of the republican convention. it is largely ceremonial as it is an ordained decision on who will be the nominee so conventions are various people in the party getting a chance to get some national exposure rather than a real competition for the nomination going on.

so this comes just two days after that assassination attempt on donald trump. does that change the mood or the tenor of the election campaign in the run in from here? hopefully it will tone down some of the vehemence, um, uh, by the various, uh, people who are involved in the campaigns as to a long—term effect on the campaign, i think that would be, uh, very speculative. i, tend to doubt that donald trump is going to become more of a centrist. because of this, i don't see him changing, its attraction to what it means to the general electorate is very hard to say. what do you think ofjd vance as being appointed as the vp nominee? well, my first reaction was

that it's reminiscent of 1964 when senator goldwater named william miller and as his vp, and everyone said, who's that? jd vance was certainly not that well known in the us, except among conservative and evangelicals. and, i think by trump bringing him aboard, it's not only an extremely young man, but someone who really will resonate with trump's base. and i think trump needs that because maybe he wants on certain issues to be less extreme. and he played the same routine, his first go round with vice president pence, who was highly esteemed in the christian evangelical movement. and he solidified that base for trump.

so that i think that's what was in his, uh, in his mind in picking vance. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

the hamas—run health ministry says 1111 palestinians have been killed in israeli air strikes in gaza since saturday, including one attack near a school in a supposedly safe zone. hamas officials say at least 15 people were killed on sunday during the attack near that un—run school, the fifth such attack in eight days. the us state department said tonight, that while it supports israel's right to target hamas militants, it has serious concerns about the recent level of civilian casualties. it coincides with the first visit of britain's foreign secretary, david lammy, who is pushing for an immediate

ceasefire and the release of all israeli hostages by hamas. our correspondent barbara plett usher is following developments from jerusalem. this was an important and tricky visit for the new british foreign secretary, david lammy, because labour lost support in the recent election from voters who felt that it hadn't condemned the war in gaza strongly enough. now, in meetings with senior officials here, mr. lammy, his message was there should be an immediate ceasefire. there should be an increase of aid into gaza and there should be the release of all the hostages held by hamas. he said he hoped to see a deal on that emerge in the coming days. he also talked about the intolerable loss of life in gaza, and in fact, more than 90 palestinians were killed at the weekend by israeli air strikes in an area that was supposed to be a safe zone. that's according to the palestinian health authority, which is run by hamas. the israelis said that they were targeting the leader of hamas's military

wing, whom they accuse of being the architect of the october 7th attacks. he's been at the top of their wanted list for decades. they've tried to assassinate him at least seven times. it's not clear if they succeeded this time, but they did say that they had killed another senior figure, a brigade commander who was also one of the masterminds. now, the israelis accuse the hamas commanders, the hamas militants, of embedding within civilian areas. but it's a question about a proportionate response. and mr lammy said that he would press the israelis to ensure that they were carrying out the war in accordance with international law. police in spain say human remains have been found on the island of tenerife, near where the british teenager, jay slater, went missing last month. a formal indentification hasn't taken place, but spanish police say "all the evidence suggests" the remains are those of the 19—year—old from lancashire. he'd been on holiday and attended a music festival on tenerife, before visiting a house several miles away, the last time he was seen. the body that's been discovered was found not far away near the village of masca,

and police say he may have suffered an accident or fallen. here's danny savage. rescuers today in a deep, inaccessible gorge in tenerife, close to where jay slater was last seen alive. it is here where human remains have now been found, along with his clothes and possessions. it's a month since the 19—year—old ended up at an airbnb in this mountainous part of the island after a night out. jay had been holidaying with friends when he vanished last month. a huge search was launched for him by the authorities on the island. drones were sent into the air to assist mountain rescue teams, but the official search was eventually called off when no trace of him was found. a statement from the civil guard on tenerife today says, "all indications indicate that it could be the young british man disappeared since lastjune 17th in the absence of a full id." jay was from oswaldtwistle,

here in lancashire. ever since he went missing, people have been tying blue ribbons to lamp posts and fences in public places to show that people here were keeping him and his family in their thoughts. they were, of course, hoping for a much happier outcome than the one we now appear to be facing. it's a shame. it is, it's bad. everyone wants him home. everyone wants an answer, don't they? i think it's hit the community hard round here because he is a local lad and he's well— known. i feel sorry for the family going through this. i know every effort, people going over, especially our local fire service going over to find him. it has hit hard. like so many young people, jay headed to tenerife for the nightlife. his disappearance led to some disturbing conspiracy theories, but his body was found

near where his mobile was last used when he called friends to say he was walking the many miles back to his resort. danny savage, bbc news. the king and queen are in jersey on a two day visit to the channel islands. buckingham palace have also confirmed they will travel to australia and samoa in the autumn, here's our royal correspondent daniela relph. the welcome was warm, the weather less so as the king and queen arrived at a special outdoor sitting of jersey's parliament. god save the king. all: god save the king! ancient tradition mixed with quirky ritual, including the presentation of locally laid duck eggs for the king. this truly is an historic place. jersey has one of the oldest connections to the crown, and we are delighted to be here once again to celebrate the special and close

relationship which binds us together. at thejersey expo, a chance for the king and queen to see the best the island has to offer. although some of those there didn't seem to care that they were in the presence of royalty. these mini tours have been absent from the king's schedule since his cancer diagnosis. it is a positive sign that they are back in play. the trip here to the channel islands, alongside confirmation of the autumn tour to australia, is significant. they are signs that the king's health challenges have stabilised, and a bigger, more ambitious programme for him is now possible. the weather injersey was unpredictable, but the fact that the king is here at all, after a difficult six months, suggests he has much to feel optimistic about. daniela relph, bbc news, st helier injersey. there's been quite the party in madrid after spain's victorious men's football team returned after

winning the euros on sunday. thousands gathered on the streets of the capital to welcome the team home. king felipe hosted a reception for the team at his palace, and prime minister pedro sanchez did likewise at his official residence. earlier i spoke to our reporter emer mccarthy in madrid — where the celebrations were still in full swing. it's a monday night but the fiesta isjust it's a monday night but the fiesta is just getting started. we saw the parade with the team and coach which has wrapped up... and has been a sea of red and yellow it's been partying and yellow it's been partying and dancing... relish this record breaking win with this team. and to keeping

it's at least 100 metres deep, and researchers say it could help them establish a permanent human presence on the moon. that's all for now — stay with bbc news. hello there. monday, we saw a day of contrasts — 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 24—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 north—west 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, north—west england as well. here's our weatherfront at 10am 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'll 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 north—west 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 south—east. 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.

wall street closes higher as expectations of a second donald trump presidency and cooling inflation boost investor sentiment. and as china's ruling communist party hold a key meeting on the economy, we take a closer look at what reforms may lie ahead. hello and welcome to business today. i'm steve lai. shares in donald trump's social media company have surged, closing up around 31%. it comes after the former president survived an assassination attempt on the weekend. analysts say the gains reflect bets that the shooting had improved mr trump's chances of winning the us presidential election in november. that would lead to a looser regulatory environment,

boosting investor sentiment. a potential interest rate cut is also driving market gains, as michelle fleury reports. after last week's drop in consumer prices, odds rose that america's central bank would cut interest rates at its meeting in september. now, that view got a boost on monday from the head of the us federal reserve. speaking at the economic club of washington, jerome powell appeared optimistic that inflation, well, that it was moving in the right direction and that the bank didn't need to wait for it to hit its 2% target to lower rates. so we've been very clear that you wouldn't wait for inflation to get all the way down to 2%. our test has been for the past quite some time that we wanted to have greater confidence that inflation was moving sustainably down toward our 2% target. and what increases that confidence in that is more good inflation data. and lately here, we have been getting some of that. you may remember at the start of this year, many economists had pencilled in several

rate cuts by september from its current level of 5.25% to 5.5%.
