hello. welcome to bbc news. hours after he was formally picked as the republican party's nominee and only two days after a gunman attempted to kill him, donald trump has appeared at the republican convention. walking on stage with a prominent white bandage on his right ear, mr trump greeted supporters with the fist pumps that he used moments after the failed assassination attempt. the audience chanted back the words he uttered on saturday. republican lawmakers and activists gave a rapturous welcome to the former president as he took his place next to his running mate, jd vance, whose candidacy was announced at the event.

the trump campaign team called the pair the most unifying and competitive ticket in political history. our chief presenter catriona perry and senior north america correspondent anthony zurcher are at republican national convention in milwaukee. it was electric when donald trump came in. i think they probably would been perfectly happy to watch donald trump for an hour. you can tell... everything was building up to this moment.— everything was building up to this moment. , ., ., , this moment. they wanted to see the matter— this moment. they wanted to see the matter to _ this moment. they wanted to see the matter to have _ this moment. they wanted to see the matter to have him _ this moment. they wanted to see the matter to have him here - this moment. they wanted to see the matter to have him here was| the matter to have him here was a cathartic— the matter to have him here was a cathartic moment for all of his fans _ a cathartic moment for all of his fans. ., a cathartic moment for all of his fans. . ., a cathartic moment for all of his fans. . . ., u, his fans. he had a large padded bandaae his fans. he had a large padded bandage on _ his fans. he had a large padded bandage on his _ his fans. he had a large padded bandage on his right _ his fans. he had a large padded bandage on his right airway - bandage on his right airway that— bandage on his right airway that bullet _ bandage on his right airway that bullet grazed - bandage on his right airway that bullet grazed on- bandage on his right airway. that bullet grazed on saturday but nevertheless, _ that bullet grazed on saturday but nevertheless, he - that bullet grazed on saturday but nevertheless, he walked i that bullet grazed on saturday. but nevertheless, he walked out through — but nevertheless, he walked out through the _ but nevertheless, he walked out through the tunnel, _ but nevertheless, he walked out through the tunnel, up - but nevertheless, he walked out through the tunnel, up the - through the tunnel, up the stairs. _ through the tunnel, up the stairs, setting a _ through the tunnel, up the stairs, setting a couple - through the tunnel, up the stairs, setting a couple ofl stairs, setting a couple of rows _ stairs, setting a couple of rows below _ stairs, setting a couple of rows below us _ stairs, setting a couple of rows below us from - stairs, setting a couple of rows below us from our. stairs, setting a couple of. rows below us from our box stairs, setting a couple of- rows below us from our box and sitting _ rows below us from our box and sitting beside _ rows below us from our box and sitting beside jd _ rows below us from our box and sitting beside jd vance. - rows below us from our box and sitting beside jd vance. his - sitting beside jd vance. his eak as

us. it struck me appearing on stage with a bandage on his ear, trump appears both strong, but also highlighting human vulnerability. i think that is absolutely right. we saw completely different donald trump tonight, vulnerable, almost humbled, you might say by the events, terrible events on saturday afternoon. he said he feels lucky to be alive and he has also said he is considering watering down the speech he is due to give on thursday in formal recognition of him receiving the nomination for republican candidacy for president. it was due to be as he put it on a speech attacking his rival, joe biden. instead, the indications are he intends to use more conservatory language. we will wait to see

represents, despite all he has said previously against donald trump, represents the maca movement going forward. he has really come over to donald trump's side, an apostle of the trump's side, an apostle of the trump maga mantra, if you like, and he is seen as somebody who the republicans believe can capture those voters, those precious voters, in the swing states, the so—called rust belt states, the so—called rust belt states that donald trump needs to win if he is to get a second term in the white house. david willis and washington, - term in the white house. david willis and washington, thank . willis and washington, thank you very much. meanwhile, in a prime—time interview, president biden told nbc he has not changed his mind about remaining in the presidential race. he has also defended calling donald trump a threat to democracy.

but the us president said his campaign had a duty to clearly communicate the threat of a second trump term, and disagreed there was a need to tone down his rhetoric. however, he told nbc�*s lester holt it was wrong to call for donald trump to be put in the "bullseye". this happened during a private donor call days before the assassination attempt. the truth of the matter was what i guess i was talking about at the time was there was little focus on donald trump �*s agenda. little focus on donald trump 's a . enda. , little focus on donald trump 's arenda. , , �* , , agenda. the term is bull's-eye. was it a mistake _ agenda. the term is bull's-eye. was it a mistake to _ agenda. the term is bull's-eye. was it a mistake to use - agenda. the term is bull's-eye. was it a mistake to use the - was it a mistake to use the word? i did not say cross hair. i meant focus on him, what he is doing, focus on his policies, focus on the number of lies he told in the debate. there is a whole range of things. look, i'm not the guy who said i want to be a dictator on day one, not the guys who refuse to accept the

outcome of the election, wouldn't accept the outcome of this election automatically. you cannot only love your country when you win. you have been in politics _ country when you win. you have been in politics a _ country when you win. you have been in politics a long _ country when you win. you have been in politics a long time - country when you win. you have been in politics a long time so l been in politics a long time so lets— been in politics a long time so let's speak friendly. we are all adults. let's speak friendly. we are alladults. has let's speak friendly. we are all adults. has a shooting change _ all adults. has a shooting change the trajectory of this race? — change the trajectory of this race? |_ change the tra'ectory of this race? ., ., ~ ., ., ., race? i do not know and you do not know _ race? i do not know and you do not know either. _ race? i do not know and you do not know either. i _ race? i do not know and you do not know either. i do _ race? i do not know and you do not know either. i do not - race? i do not know and you do| not know either. i do not know. is it something _ not know either. i do not know. is it something you _ not know either. i do not know. is it something you have - not know either. i do not know. is it something you have given l is it something you have given thought— is it something you have given thought to?— is it something you have given thought to? no, i have thought less about _ thought to? no, i have thought less about it _ thought to? no, i have thought less about it than _ thought to? no, i have thought less about it than two - thought to? no, i have thought less about it than two things. i less about it than two things. one, what his health is. one, what his health is. secure, number one, and number two, what happens from here on in terms of coverage that the president and vice president and former president and new vice president get in terms of... look, i have never seen a circumstance where you ride through certain inaudible of the country and people have signs, from signs saying f biden and a little kid standing

there putting up his middle finger. that is the kind of stuff that is just inflammatory and is a kind of viciousness. joe biden saying he did not know if the assassination attempt on donald trump had changed the trajectory of the campaign. let's speak tojon michaels, professor of law at the university of california school of law. the attempt on trump's life has shifted the focus from whether biden should be replaced. it feels as if it will swiftly come back into focus? i think what we have seen from american politics over the years as people's attention spans are stunningly short and so i cannot imagine a world in which it does not come back. part of that has to do with the fact i think in the political violence in america is stunning and horrifying but at the same

time not surprising so i think we will bounce back from this particular moment rather quickly. in particular moment rather ruickl . , ., quickly. in terms of the interview _ quickly. in terms of the interview we _ quickly. in terms of the interview we have - quickly. in terms of the interview we have just l quickly. in terms of the - interview we have just seen clips of and that no doubt american voters will be digesting, what did you make of joe biden's performance in it? i think president biden, the very fact first of all that he had to apologise for the use of terms like bull's—eye again shows how far as a society we have gone down the road of gun culture and how careful we have to be because metaphorical language like that would be taken literally. 0n the broader point is about changing the ten and rhetoric of the debate, of the campaign, i have to say that i am sympathetic to president biden's position which is we have to keep focus on the fact that we are facing a true crisis of our democracy. tenor. and of our rule of law

in this country. it has all been clearly telegraphed by former president donald trump and his team that they want to turn the country in a very dark, very aggressive, authoritarian direction and i do not think it would be responsible for a leading candidate to do anything but keep our attention on that fact. ., , ., keep our attention on that fact. .,, ., ,., , fact. the opinion polls suggest a majority _ fact. the opinion polls suggest a majority of — fact. the opinion polls suggest a majority of americans - fact. the opinion polls suggest a majority of americans may . a majority of americans may just choose that option, may choose donald trump. that was even before the assassination attempt. what do you make of the selection ofjd vance as his running mate? what kind of a boost, if any, could that give to donald trump's prospects? it give to donald trump's prospects?_ give to donald trump's prospects? give to donald trump's --rosects? , ., ., prospects? it is hard to say what kind _ prospects? it is hard to say what kind of— prospects? it is hard to say what kind of boost - prospects? it is hard to say what kind of boost it - prospects? it is hard to say what kind of boost it will i prospects? it is hard to say l what kind of boost it will give him, but i think it was a very smart choice on the part of the republicans and former president donald trump to do so. i thinkjd vance channels a

lot of the maga movement in a way that adult of the other front for the vice presidency did not. —— the other. jd vance, he seems after coming around to the maga philosophy, he seems to have embraced it in a way few politicians have. he really seems to commit himself to a christian nationalist type of governance, which affects our social policy, affects the way we do regulation in this country, which is very different from old school republicans which were much more the safe air when it comes to business matters and i think he is also probably the choice that was going to be the most nativist when it comes to foreign relations, particularly with respect to europe and nato and ukraine in particular. thank you forjoining us.

the family of a young british man who went missing on the spanish island of tenerife nearly a month ago are waiting to hear confirmation of the identity of a body that's been found. spanish police say all the evidence suggests it is that of the 19—year—old jay slater, but formal identification is yet to take place. joe inwood has this report. it was in the deep ravines near the last location of jay slater that they found the human remains along with the physicians. the body has not been formally identified but authorities are confident they are found jay slater. in his home town where blue ribbons have become a sign of support, the news was met with sadness. it is a shame inaudible.i it is a shame inaudible. i think it is hit the community hard — think it is hit the community hard around here because obviously has a local lad and

welcome back. to the middle east now, and the european union has imposed new sanctions on extremist israeli settlers in the occupied west bank, as well as violent activists

who've been blocking humanitarian aid to gaza. among those sanctioned is an activist who is close to israel's far—right national security minister. meanwhile, us state secretary blinken met two key israeli officials and discussed ongoing ceasefire talks. the state department said israel had the right to target militants, but that does not justify attacks on civilians. those comments follow an israeli strike on a central gaza school that reportedly killed 22 palestinians and wounded over 100. the un—run school was used as a shelter by displaced people. with me is said shehata from bbc arabic. let's talk about the sanctions first. what impact are they likely to have?— first. what impact are they likely to have? these sanctions were imposed _ likely to have? these sanctions were imposed before _ likely to have? these sanctions were imposed before on - likely to have? these sanctions were imposed before on the i likely to have? these sanctions i were imposed before on the same entities by the united states

and they are still ongoing, especially this organisation called (unknown term), regularly blocking aid trucks to deliver food, fuel and water to deliver food, fuel and water to gaza and there are many pictures about how they show the staff on the floor, the ground and all of the stuff, so the impact will be minimal, especially the support from the israeli government to the settlers, especially the far right, the finance minister when he accused or is said to the americans they cross the red lines when they imposed the sanctions on the far right organisation and some individuals and even the sanctions are about freezing assets and travel bans, so it is not like they are having a big impact on the activities of this organisation and individuals.— this organisation and individuals. �*, ., ,, ., individuals. let's talk about the prospects _ individuals. let's talk about the prospects for _ individuals. let's talk about the prospects for peace. i ceasefire talks continue, as they have for months now.

mabu's secret should live on. jonah fisher, bbc news. business next. stay with us here 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 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 2a—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 northeast 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, northwesterly source. a bit more of a breeze perhaps into the far southeast and temperatures certainly a little bit moresubdued, 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 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 this july. 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.
