vance. but for many tonight, the focus in what comes next after donald trump survived an assassination attempt at his pennsylvania rally that plunged the us presidential race into a state of shock and uncertainty, prompting calls to tone down rhetoric on both sides. join me live is our north america correspondence anthony zurcher. this is a party. there is an awful tragedy that happened at the weekend, an assassination attempt, but it doesn't seem to be overly interfering with what is going on?— is going on? no, it feels like a ical is going on? no, it feels like a typical convention. - is going on? no, it feels like a typical convention. a - is going on? no, it feels like l a typical convention. a rockers environment with ever enduring and excited. i think that will change when donald trump comes out because i think you will see a real raucous embrace of him and celebration ofjust the fact that he is alive. when you talk to people here, they say they are grateful and how excited they are to see the man himself. to excited they are to see the man himself. ., , ., _,

will tune in, voters and prospective voters, and fade attention to what is going on? it is not like a debate, it doesn't have a huge audience. except for the speeches. the speech that donald trump gives will be broadcast across the country and have the ability of donald trump to essentially redefine the election because of what happened on saturday. we have heard from joe biden as well during the interview on nbc news, accepting his part, i suppose, in this amp to up rhetoric from biden and trump that they hope to calm down was not how realistic is that? this is a contentious _ not how realistic is that? ti 3 is a contentious election. a closely divided electorate. while because the calling may be heeded, at some point we will end up with both sides realising they need to knock the other person down to win the other person down to win the election, to elevate themselves. so while it is notable for them to say that, i

the american public. anthony, as always. _ the american public. anthony, as always, thank _ the american public. anthony, as always, thank you. - the american public. anthony, as always, thank you. we - the american public. anthony, as always, thank you. we will| as always, thank you. we will talk to you later. as you heard, hours ago, donald trump named ohio senator and marine corps veteranjd vance as his running mate. we have heard a lot about him already here today. it lot about him already here toda . , ., ., , ., today. it is now time for us to determine — today. it is now time for us to determine our _ today. it is now time for us to determine our nominee - today. it is now time for us to determine our nominee for i today. it is now time for us to l determine our nominee for the office of vice president of the united states, senatorjd vance. , ~ , united states, senatorjd vance. , ~ m ~ ,, vance. cheering and applause. country music— vance. cheering and applause. country music plays. _ the former president made the announcement on his truth social platform, saying, in part:

jd vance, ajunior jd vance, a junior senator from ohio, jd vance, a junior senatorfrom ohio, marine corps veteran, and author of hillbilly elegy, was author of hillbilly elegy, was a long—term critic of trump. he said "i'm not a trump guy. i never liked him" in a 2016 interview. jd vance has since shifted his position to align with trump's agenda, after receiving the former president's endorsement in 2022 for his run for the senate. presidentjoe biden reacted to the announcement, writing on x — quote — "jd vance talks a big game about working people.

"but now, he and trump want to raise taxes on middle—class families while pushing more tax cuts for the rich." now, as you can hear behind me, we have the governor of north dakota, so we might have a listen into what she is saying. this he is the toughest man that i have ever met. nobody has endured _ that i have ever met. nobody has endured more _ that i have ever met. nobody has endured more than - that i have ever met. nobody has endured more than what | that i have ever met. nobody i has endured more than what he has endured more than what he has gone through. they have attacked his reputation, they impeached him, they tried to bankrupt him, and they are unjustly prosecuted him. but evenin unjustly prosecuted him. but even in the most perilous moment this week, his instinct was to stand and to fight. cheering and applause. crowd chants: , ., , , chants: trump! donald trump is a man in the _ chants: trump! donald trump is a man in the arena. _ chants: trump! donald trump is a man in the arena. he _ chants: trump! donald trump is a man in the arena. he will- a man in the arena. he will

solutions to the challenges. yes, we have differences in our parties. we can and should have robust debate about the solutions and the path forward. but we should refrain from demonising each other. when i hear so many democratic colleague said that donald trump, you know, is a fascist, or a threat to democracy, it undermines our country. it has to stop. undermines our country. it has to sto -. ., ., undermines our country. it has tosto.. ., ~ ., undermines our country. it has to sto-. ., ~ ., undermines our country. it has to sto. ., ~' ., ., to stop. talking about some of the policies. — to stop. talking about some of the policies, then, _ to stop. talking about some of the policies, then, what - to stop. talking about some of the policies, then, what does i the policies, then, what does foreign policy look under a trump—vance administration? we trump-vance administration? we saw it. trump-vance administration? we saw it- we — trump—vance administration? - saw it. we saw it during donald trump's term in office. you know, we saw it where china, russia, and iran were taken to task by president trump. where donald trump cut off iran's oil supply and its resources. we saw where president trump took on trade with china. these are

in working with our partners in the uk, israel, and other democratic states, to really lead the world forward and take on our adverse areas. when europe is relying on russia for its gas, that is a problem. that is a problem at a time where russia is using the proceeds of that oil sale to attack ukraine. we need to be firm on this. and it requires smart policy. that means increased domestic production of oil and gas here in america so that europe and other countries come to the united states for their energy, not too bad actors like iran or russia. 11 too bad actors like iran or russia. , ., ., ~' too bad actors like iran or russia. ., ~ ., russia. if you talk about russia. if you talk about russia and _ russia. if you talk about russia and ukraine, - russia. if you talk about - russia and ukraine, anytime ukraine and supporting ukraine has been mentioned from the stage here tonight, a lot of people are booing over american support. jd vance himself has questioned it. is that something that america is likely to turn away from if donald trump is re—elected? i think when you look at these in

a silo you can sit and quibble with some of the decisions, but you have to look at what is happening around the globe collectively. russia, china, and iran are not our friends. they are not our allies. they are working in a co—ordinated effort to undermine and destabilise the united states and the free world. and the american people obviously expect us to be the leader of the free world. we will have to have discussions over policy and aid. but at the end of the day america needs to lead and we need to combat our enemies. what is your view of where the races at this point betweenjoe biden and donald trump? a lot has happened in the last 2.5 weeks since the first debate. the weeks since the first debate. lot has happened in the 48 hours. obviously, a lot can happen in the course of a campaign. ithink happen in the course of a campaign. i think president trump is poised to win a second term in november. you see that

in the polling. and, obviously, after the assassination attempt on his life, which we are talking about a millimetre of difference, and whether that went through his ear or his head. and that obviously would have been so catastrophic to this country. we settle our elections by votes at the ballot box, not by violence at rallies. and i think, ultimately, donald trump is poised to win because the policies are what matters. joe biden has failed on the economy, on the border, and on foreign policy. economy, on the border, and on foreign policy-— foreign policy. speaking about the assassination _ foreign policy. speaking about the assassination attempt - foreign policy. speaking about the assassination attempt on. the assassination attempt on saturday, joe biden has ordered an independent investigation into what went wrong, essentially, on the security front. what is the role for congress? the head of the secret service would be before the oversight committee on monday. the oversight committee on monda . , ,

our ohio renewable, to bring life to the appalachian area. it didn't do a lot. it was a very successful. many people don't know him too well. he didn't have an elected office before in the senate. so people are trying to get to know him and learn who he is. he ran a tough race against a moderate democrat in tim bryant in 2022, winning by six points. but ohio was pretty republican. —— tim ryan. people want to know more about him. they think that having him on the ticket is good for ohio in particular. what do you think he brings to the ticket for the republican party? the ticket for the republican pa ? , , ., the ticket for the republican party? he is young, 39 years old. party? he is young, 39 years old- that _ party? he is young, 39 years old. that would _ party? he is young, 39 years old. that would make - party? he is young, 39 years old. that would make him i party? he is young, 39 years| old. that would make him the third youngest vice president in us history, if elected. he is the second youngest member of the senate. there is a possibility that brings younger voters in. he is a veteran,

from the marine corps, so that speaks to a specific constituency. he is definitely very strongly against abortion, has strong views on certain social issues and the ones the republicans talk about very specifically — lgbt o republicans talk about very specifically — lgbt 0 rights, abortion, these sorts of things. that really solidifies what republicans have been talking about in those areas. his book hillbilly elegy talked about his mother's addiction and he has talked about that as being some that was formative in his life. a lot of people are dealing with addiction. but some people do see him as an extremist and he has raised concern amongst some.

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 southeast. 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 southwesterly. 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 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.

all ran against a brick wall named donald trump, and he won the nomination, and it is his convention, and i think they had a pretty good night tonight. had a pretty good night toniiht. , ., , ., tonight. does donald trump have our full tonight. does donald trump have your full support _ tonight. does donald trump have your full support now? _ tonight. does donald trump have your full support now? you i your full support now? you know, your full support now? you know. i'm _ your full support now? you know, i'm one _ your full support now? you know, i'm one of— your full support now? you know, i'm one of those i your full support now? ym. know, i'm one of those outliers that i have not promised him i vote yet or endorsement, but let me tell you, it is really quite the contrast when you see the assassination attempt on donald trump, and the strength that he showed, and then coming out and saying we need to use this to unify america, we need to get over the harsh rhetoric. there was a good moment, and i hope that he fulfils that through this convention. i would like to see a higher level of discussion and debate in the country. clear differences between the parties, but we certainly need to reduce the rhetoric that leads to different people reacting in different ways. so we will wait and see. you said ou we will wait and see. you said you haven't — we will wait and see. you said you haven't promised - we will wait and see. you said you haven't promised your. we will wait and see. you said. you haven't promised your vote yet. does that mean you might?

that's right, the options are open. this is a crazy political year and the united states, and i want to wait and see how things develop in the fall campaign. no no, iam things develop in the fall campaign. no no, i am going to vote for republican, i am a republican, i might write in a candidate, we will see how donald trump does in the fall. i said i'm not going to vote for a convicted felon, i am a former prosecutor, and that troubles me. character matters. they want to see how he conducts the campaign as we move forward.— conducts the campaign as we move forward. who might you write in if _ move forward. who might you write in if you _ move forward. who might you write in if you write _ move forward. who might you write in if you write in? - move forward. who might you write in if you write in? we i write in if you write in? we will wait — write in if you write in? we will wait and _ write in if you write in? we will wait and see. - write in if you write in? - will wait and see. like i said, there is a lot of ground to cover between now and then. it is going to be, despite the bump that donald trump has received, it is going to be a tight election in the fall. it is just the nature of politics in the united states, and donald trump has a ceiling. there is only so high he can go in the polls, but he has had some really good things come his direction the last couple of weeks. d0

his direction the last couple of weeks-— of weeks. do you think the assassination _ of weeks. do you think the assassination attempt i of weeks. do you think the assassination attempt will| assassination attempt will change boaters's mines, or put those undecideds into his camp? if he continues to respond the way that he did, it is a moment of introspection, it is a moment of recognising that there is a reason that that bullet didn't enter his head. and that is providential care and hope it brings a sense of humility that is important for a president of the united states, as well as strength. he showed strength, and now how you can translate that into a leadership demeanour, and it is really important for our allies across the pond, and i think about tonight's debate, it is a good night to debate, ukraine was only mentioned twice and i was only mentioned twice and i was in a negative sense, that we ought to reduce support. jd vance has been named the nominee for vice president by

donald trump, and he doubles down on donald trump's reservation, and that worries me, as a reagan republican that believes in the strength of america and the leadership role and our commitment to our allies across the sea. so i hope we will get stronger as we go into the fall.— go into the fall. speaking of jd vance. — go into the fall. speaking of jd vance, obviously - go into the fall. speaking of jd vance, obviously he i go into the fall. speaking of jd vance, obviously he is i go into the fall. speaking of jd vance, obviously he is a | jd vance, obviously he is a relatively young man, just 39. see the future of the republican party, is that what republican party, is that what republican party, is that what republican party politics looks like into the future? == is he like into the future? -- is he the future? that _ like into the future? -- is he the future? that could i like into the future? -- is he the future? that could very i the future? that could very well be the _ the future? that could very well be the thinking - the future? that could very well be the thinking of i the future? that could very i well be the thinking of donald trump, thatjd vance has brought fully into the maga agenda, into everything that donald trump is preaching, and so he is a lieutenant there, and he is a young lieutenant, and he is a young lieutenant, and so yes, it could be in their minds that this stands maga and defines the republican

party for a long time to come. from my perspective, i don't want the republican party to shrink from global leadership, i don't want the republican party to have a protectionist philosophy around america, higher tariffs. we need to have that relationship and partnership with our allies, and so i am going to be fighting hard to course correct the republican party and we will see how it develops. hopefully, donald trump will lead in a way that american leadership has traditionally done. ,., ., leadership has traditionally done. ., . ., ,, ., done. governor, wang sinitta comini done. governor, wang sinitta coming to _ done. governor, wang sinitta coming to speak _ done. governor, wang sinitta coming to speak to _ done. governor, wang sinitta coming to speak to us - done. governor, wang sinitta coming to speak to us on i done. governor, wang sinitta coming to speak to us on bbc news. earlier, iwas coming to speak to us on bbc news. earlier, i was speaking to congressman brian stile, a republican congressman from here, wisconsin. very noisy, very excited convention. what are you looking forward to in the days ahead? than are you looking forward to in the days ahead?— the days ahead? an exciting time in my _ the days ahead? an exciting time in my home _ the days ahead? an exciting time in my home state i the days ahead? an exciting time in my home state of i time in my home state of wisconsin, a great city on the lake. i hope we focus in on the

policies needed to move our country forward. i think a sobering moment over the weekend, it is may refocused us on what makes america such a great country and what policies we need to put in place to get our country back on track. we have a big opportunity here to focus in and bring down inflation, and we are going to address illegal immigration. if we stay focused on those topics, i think will be successful, come november. how has the effect _ successful, come november. how has the effect of _ successful, come november. how has the effect of saturday, the attempted assassination, the killing of one of donald trump as �*s supporters, two others injured, how has it impacted the event here?— the event here? hopefully it allows us — the event here? hopefully it allows us to _ the event here? hopefully it allows us to focus _ the event here? hopefully it allows us to focus on - the event here? hopefully it allows us to focus on the i allows us to focus on the policies here. there are great policy disagreements but what we have allowed to occur over the last number of years was the last number of years was the rhetoric to get out of control, and if we instead use this as a moment to unify the country, to pull us back and have a conversation about the policies that are needed, rather than simply personal attacks, i think we will actually be better as a democracy.—

midwestern perspective, my home state of wisconsin, other critical states of pennsylvania and michigan are at the forefront of this election and the electoral college, so bringing in addition to this ticketjd vance, senator of ohio, who knows the key issues are essential in midwestern states, i think that is a big addition to the ticket. because his home state _ addition to the ticket. because his home state borders - his home state borders pennsylvania and michigan, is there a hope he will be to deliver those for president trump? i deliver those for president trum . ? ., ., deliver those for president trum . ? ~ ., , trump? i think that is true. i think broadly _ trump? i think that is true. i think broadly speaking i trump? i think that is true. i think broadly speaking the l think broadly speaking the issues we have seen time and again in the midwest and the challenges he faced in his own personal life, we sawjobs leaving, in particular the industrial heartland of the united states, and move overseas, this has become our opportunity to refocus the policies, to bring thosejobs back into the united states and make sure we are investing in job creation for good and better paying jobs here. jae better paying “obs here. joe biden better paying jobs here. joe biden would say he has been doing that with the various pieces of legislation he has passed, putting tariffs on chinese product for example,

but you think there is more that could be done? i but you think there is more that could be done?- but you think there is more that could be done? i think we really compare _ that could be done? i think we really compare the _ that could be done? i think we really compare the tax - that could be done? i think we really compare the tax policy | really compare the tax policy for example between president trump, which was very progrowth, pro—economic development and pro employee, and we contrast it with the policies that president biden is suggesting he would fit in place, where he would unwind that, we saw great economic growth coming into the pandemic. what we have seen coming out is high inflation, where american workers fall further and further behind. looking at your own state of wisconsin where we are in milwaukee, this is one of the key battle ground states as well. the last two times it has been won by less than one percentage point of the electorate. how close i think this year? in electorate. how close i think this year?— this year? in wisconsin it is i was going — this year? in wisconsin it is i was going to _ this year? in wisconsin it is i was going to be _ this year? in wisconsin it is i was going to be close, i this year? in wisconsin it is i was going to be close, at i this year? in wisconsin it is i | was going to be close, at the end of the day this will be a turnout election in the state of wisconsin, making sure everyone has made voice in particular, conservative and republican voices are heard, that they get out to the ballot box in november will be absolutely essential. it will always feel close, i feel good that we can win. [10 always feel close, i feel good that we can win.— always feel close, i feel good that we can win. do you feel it will be as _

there working again at more full—timejobs rather there working again at more full—time jobs rather than part—time jobs, full—time jobs rather than part—timejobs, and get the economy back on track. the part-time jobs, and get the economy back on track. a lot of those policies _ economy back on track. a lot of those policies you _ economy back on track. a lot of those policies you have - those policies you have mentioned, though, are where they are for broader global reasons, energy policy in particular, to combat emissions and to work against climate change, so are you hoping that is all reversed? the change, so are you hoping that is all reversed?— is all reversed? the world is considering _ is all reversed? the world is considering more _ is all reversed? the world is considering more oil- is all reversed? the world is considering more oil in i is all reversed? the world is. considering more oil in better history and there is really no rational predictions that forecast it is going to be reduced significantly for quite a long period of time, at least a long period of time, at least a couple of decades, so if we are going to power the united states, if we are going to drive down the cost of goods, we need to get oil prices down. this isn'tjust for america but this isn't just for america but worldwide. this isn'tjust for america but worldwide. we also need to replenish our strategic energy reserves which president biden took basically down to zero, and if we can produce enough natural gas so thatjapan and if we can produce enough natural gas so that japan and europe are less dependent or

not dependent on russia, if we can drive the cost of oil down so russia doesn't have the ability to continue its war in ukraine, and if we can make it so that iran doesn't have the dollars that it currently has, because oil prices are so high, then i think we are not only going to be helping the american economy but we will be calming down the international situation as well. if calming down the international situation as well.— situation as well. if we look at tax policy. _ situation as well. if we look at tax policy, then, - situation as well. if we look at tax policy, then, joe - situation as well. if we look i at tax policy, then, joe biden, the administration would say they have done very well on tax policy, they would say they have done very well on the economy here, that there is a lag on economic policies, and they have improved what they inherited four president trump. that is really kind of funny, because the tax cuts and jobs act, which was the law that president trump got enacted in 2017 that provided for tax cuts, beginning in 2018 is still in effect. the biden administration hasn't changed that law at all. the promise of that law at all. the promise of that law at all. the promise of that law is that it would increase tax revenue, and it

has significantly increased tax revenue. tax revenue is much higher in the united states than the congressional budget office had projected it would be with higher tax rates. you probably heard of the lampaert curve, where you get more revenue sometimes with lower tax rates than a higher tax rates because you get, and later produced $1 trillion more than rates would have produced. and since they have been in effect, the entire biden administration, whatever economic growth he is claiming has occurred, as happened under the tax cuts and jobs act during his administration. he hasn't changed or repealed the tax cuts in jobs act, hasn't changed or repealed the tax cuts injobs act, so hasn't changed or repealed the tax cuts in jobs act, so that trump policy has been in place the entire biden administration. ., administration. he has also introduced _ administration. he has also introduced the _ administration. he has also introduced the inflation - introduced the inflation reduction act.— introduced the inflation reduction act. that is not taxing. — reduction act. that is not taxing, that _ reduction act. that is not taxing, that is _ reduction act. that is not taxing, that is spending. | reduction act. that is not - taxing, that is spending. but it is not just _ taxing, that is spending. but it is notjust solely on taxation, there have been hiding policies there as well. biding policies there as well. he has done an incredible amount of spending, which is

why we have inflation. inflation during his presidency is cumulatively about 20%. it has been an incredible period for inflation, something we haven't experienced since the 19805 haven't experienced since the 1980s in this country, and it has really hurt american families where it is very difficult to afford food, to buy a house, buy a car. we have had interest rates that have had interest rates that have had to go up to bring inflation down and it has still only come down and it has still only come down to 3%, and when you talk about it coming down to 3%, thatis about it coming down to 3%, that is the rate of inflation that is the rate of inflation thatis that is the rate of inflation that is decreased, not inflation itself. when inflation itself. when inflation is up 3%, that is on top of all the prior inflation. inflation is kind of like compound interest, itjust compound interest, it just keeps compound interest, itjust keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger, it never gets smaller, unless you have negative inflation, and we certainly don't have that. so the spending has caused ridiculously bad inflation. i think the tax cuts and jobs act has been instrumental in trying to get economic growth going, despite all the fiscal spending. so there is a lot of policies in play here. fix, spending. so there is a lot of policies in play here.- policies in play here. a lot of

that as well _ policies in play here. a lot of that as well was _ policies in play here. a lot of that as well was joe - policies in play here. a lot of that as well was joe biden i policies in play here. a lot of. that as well was joe biden and that as well wasjoe biden and many other countries around the world who all were faced with implementing policies in the wake of a global pandemic. rising inflation and the high cost of living is not unique to this country. cost of living is not unique to this country-— this country. can i address that for a _ this country. can i address that for a second? - this country. can i address that for a second? so - this country. can i address | that for a second? so there this country. can i address - that for a second? so there was a lot of spending during the pandemic in the united states. by pandemic in the united states. by 2021 when president biden took office, we had the vaccines, people were going back to work, there was no need to continue the spending. we knew that supply chains were strained, we knew we didn't have supplies. this goes for the rest of the world too, if you know you don't have enough goods, what is the last thing you want to do? you don't want to give people money because that will create demand for the limited supply of goods, which drives inflation, so it is really not a surprise, given the spending that occurred globally, that we ended up with this kind of inflation, particularly in the united states. united states inflation surged first and it surged in march the same month the cheques made out under the

so—called american recovery act. sorry, i didn't mean to interrupt. act. sorry, i didn't mean to iiitefflipt-_ act. sorry, i didn't mean to iiitefflipt-— act. sorry, i didn't mean to interrupt. no, you're fine. i 'ust interrupt. no, you're fine. i just wanted _ interrupt. no, you're fine. i just wanted to _ interrupt. no, you're fine. i just wanted to say, - interrupt. no, you're fine. i just wanted to say, you - just wanted to say, you mentioned grocery prices earlier on, prices of groceries have risen, not keep on track with inflation, they have risen above that in some places by 20, 20 5% in above that in some places by 20,20 5% in the above that in some places by 20, 20 5% in the nearby state of pennsylvania, it is up at that level as well, food is most expensive there. what would a president trump second term do, when you're talking about private companies there who are putting those prices up and making huge profits? these companies. _ and making huge profits? these companies. if— and making huge profits? these companies, if there _ and making huge profits? these companies, if there are - companies, if there are different food companies and they are making big profits, one food company is going to say, hey, if we lowered our cost, we could put everybody else out of business. competition is important. they don'tjust all competition is important. they don't just all have competition is important. they don'tjust all have high prices and we are going to keep high prices. there is a reason those prices. there is a reason those prices are high and that is because throughout the supply

chain for food, because throughout the supply chain forfood, prices have increased very significantly. i used to run a restaurant company and food costs of restau ra nts company and food costs of restaurants are through the roof, which is why costs are so high when you go to a restaurant. what you need to do is encourage food production. don't see this green energy, we are not going to have the powers, were not going to have fertilisers, if you knew that the world will starve. the democrats _ the world will starve. the democrats are _ the world will starve. the democrats are not - the world will starve. the democrats are not saying we're not going to have cowls.- not going to have cowls. there is a worldwide _ not going to have cowls. there is a worldwide movement - is a worldwide movement connected with the green movement, the democrats are very big on the green movement, different carbon emissions, methane emissions, and if we are going to take on farmers, reduce production of goods, food prices will continue to go up. in the united states and a president trump we need to encourage farmers to grow, to run their businesses, to do the best they can, and have the least amount of regulation and be able to keep enough of what they make to sustain themselves, and i think that will bring the cost of food down. competition and government getting out of the way can do amazing things for

of all for our viewers just remind us briefly what this case was about.— remind us briefly what this case was about. this case was about the _ case was about. this case was about the mishandling - case was about. this case was about the mishandling of i about the mishandling of national security information, and so that is actually broader than just classified documents, but it includes, as you had mentioned, the top—secret documents, and some of the most sensitive types of documents that may relate to nuclear secrets. 0n the premise of the investigation and the charge was that while he was president, former president of italy may have had access to all types classified information, but upon leaving the white house, he wasn't supposed to be taking that with him, and that is apparently what happened. there is a long wind up to the actual charges where they tried to get it returned, it didn't work, and ultimately the fbi executed a search warrant, where they found so many of the documents, and fat led to the charges. which now, as we know, judge

cannon has thrown out. this is really another victory for donald trump, isn't it? do we have any indication of this is the end of it, will it be appealed? the end of it, will it be a- ealed? , ., .,, , appealed? unquestionably it will be appealed _ appealed? unquestionably it will be appealed and - appealed? unquestionably it will be appealed and it i appealed? unquestionably it will be appealed and it is i appealed? unquestionably it will be appealed and it is a l will be appealed and it is a great victory for him, the timing seems a rather good coincidence for him, being on the opening of the republican national committee, and it is really the last card — magra republican national committee, and it is of the last card that judge cannon has employed. at the very get go she did a very strange manoeuvre where she appointed a special master to look at the documents. that was struck down by the court of appeal is in rather nasty language, saying she had abused her discretion there. since then, with many issues that otherjudges would have other judges would have disposed otherjudges would have disposed of swiftly, she has really taken her time, she has held hearings on it, and this latest dismissal, this first dismissal actually, it's really not on the merits of the case,

it is on the idea thatjack smith's appointment as a special counsel is unconstitutional, and of course that flies in the face of various versions of a special counsel having been used by the justice department, dating back to the 19th century. so it unquestionably is going to be appealed, the doj have orally announced they have given permission to appeal. it probably won't stand up on appeal but the importance for the former president is that this really locks in the delay in the case. there is no way that this case could possibly go to trial now before the election. there was doubtful to begin with but it is a done deal now. —— it was doubtful to begin with. {lin deal now. -- it was doubtful to begin with-— begin with. on the ruling that judie begin with. on the ruling that judge cannon _ begin with. on the ruling that judge cannon that _ begin with. on the ruling that judge cannon that the - begin with. on the ruling that judge cannon that the specialj judge cannon that the special counseljack smith was potentially unlawfully appointed, is there a potential knock—on case —— knock—on effect for other cases? the former president _ effect for other cases? the former president is - effect for other cases? ila: former president is making effect for other cases? 11a: former president is making that argument. the only other case

it could affect would be the other federal one, it could affect would be the otherfederal one, the it could affect would be the other federal one, the one around the january six election interference, butjudge cannon, is a us trialjudge, her ruling does not have presidential effect, so the judge does not have presidential effect, so thejudge in dc would have to reach a similar conclusion, which is highly unlikely, given the state of the law, but certainly it will be used by the former president in trying to attack this case and the other case in dc as well. the other prosecutions are state prosecutions, in one case not even the prosecutions, the civil lawsuit that he lost. so there would not be any effect there because they don't involve the special counsel. $5 involve the special counsel. as ou sa involve the special counsel. as you say this is unlikely to be the last that we hear of this case or many of these cases, and we will be talking about them again in the future. shan wu, formerfederal them again in the future. shan wu, former federal prosecutor, thanks forjoining us on bbc news. thanks for 'oining us on bbc news. ., ,

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 strikes in an area that was supposed to be a safe zone. that is according to the palestinian health authority, run by hamas. the israelis said that they were targeting the leader of hamas' 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. the winners of the euro 2024 finals, spain, have arrived back home. their plane touched down on the runway in madrid, monday, triumphant in the sun. it was a very different picture to the reception for the england squad. spain's team celebrated and posed with the trophy in front of fans. and in the last couple of hours, the spanish squad have met king felipe and his family at the tharthuela palace, where they presented him with a shirt, which says, "reyes de europe" — kings of europe — on the back, and a numberli, which represents their record—breaking euros victory. you can continue to follow our coverage of the republican national convention on our live page. jd vance has arrived here at the convention floor behind

me. the former president and presidential nominee donald trump will be here shortly as well, and we will bring you all of that of course hear live on bbc news on this special programme. iam bbc news on this special programme. i am caitriona perry. thanks for watching. stay with us on bbc news. hello there. monday, we saw a day of contrasts — some pleasant sunny spells across eastern scotland, in particular, and a high of 211 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 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. 0n the whole, winds light, but again, still from that cooler north—westerly source. a bit more of a breeze, perhaps, into the far southeast, 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 southwesterly. 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. west 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 211, 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.
