after the first minister's decision to stand down. vaughan gething has only been in the job since march, and his replacement would be the third labour first minister this year. today, four senior colleagues quit the government, demanding his resignation, but pressure has been mounting for sometime. he's been facing questions about a £200,000 donation he took while running to become welsh labour leader, and last month he lost a vote of no confidence. 0ur political editor chris mason is here. the writing has been on the wall for a while. it the writing has been on the wall for a while. . , , the writing has been on the wall for a while. ., , .,, , the writing has been on the wall for awhile. , , ., the writing has been on the wall for awhile. , ., ,, a while. it has this has been a mess for a while. — a while. it has this has been a mess for a while. a _ a while. it has this has been a mess for a while, a kind _ a while. it has this has been a mess for a while, a kind of— a while. it has this has been a mess for a while, a kind of rolling - a while. it has this has been a mess for a while, a kind of rolling mess i for a while, a kind of rolling mess for a while, a kind of rolling mess for the reasons you set out, and so it's not that surprising. but in the end vaughan gething was the victim of a kind of golden central truth of politics, which is as a leader, as a first minister, is a prime minister, if you cannot command the confidence of your own side you are stuffed, you are done for. if you can't hold a government together you simply cannot govern. and at ten o'clock this morning we saw notjust one

resignation but as you say, four resignations. i was sitting at my desk in westminster thinking, hang on a minute, i think i might be heading to cardiff bay because when you get resignations in that number you get resignations in that number you know where it will end. the only issueis you know where it will end. the only issue is how long it might take. by 11.1 five, one hourand issue is how long it might take. by 11.1 five, one hour and 15 minutes later, he was a goner, so i knew where i needed to spend the afternoon. and it has been quite the afternoon. and it has been quite the afternoon in cardiff. last week it was all smiles when the king visited cardiff. smiles as well when the new prime minister rolled up. the expression was different this morning when the game was up. i have this morning taken the difficult decision to begin the process of stepping down as the leader of welsh labour and as a result first minister.— result first minister. born in zambia, his _ result first minister. born in zambia, his dad _ result first minister. born in zambia, his dad a _ result first minister. born in zambia, his dad a vet - result first minister. born in zambia, his dad a vet from i result first minister. born in - zambia, his dad a vet from bridgend, his mum a chicken farmer, vaughan

since devolution started in wales in some form or other but their reign has started to be questioned especially around things like the nhs and education. and now with all this developing regarding vaughan gething the sum will be wondering, is there time for a change here? that's what some of the public will be questioning. now they will have to go through another leadership contest here and the problem for welsh labour is that there is no unity candidate here. the party is so split and as they are so divided, who can unite them with a senedd election in two years' time. tomos morian election in two years' time. tomos morgan live _ election in two years' time. tomos morgan live in _ election in two years' time. tomos morgan live in cardiff, _ election in two years' time. tomos morgan live in cardiff, thank- election in two years' time. tomos morgan live in cardiff, thank you. | and tomorrow, the new labour government at westminster, will use the king's speech to outline its priorities for the next parliament. ben chu is here with a look at what might be on the agenda. whatever the new government chooses to focus on in the king's speech, here are five challenges it will find hard to ignore. first, public sector pay deals.

decisions on pay deals for nhs staff, teachers, police and prison guards in england for 2024—25 have to be taken by the end of this month. the government would need to find an extra £7 billion per year to prevent their wages falling further behind their counterparts in the private sector. that could be very financially challenging. but if it doesn't the government could find recruiting more teachers and nurses harder, or even risk further public sector strikes. second, local councils. around one in ten local authority leaders in england say they are likely to have to effectively declare bankruptcy this financial year. this could force painful cuts in local services. ministers could give struggling councils a direct financial top—up. but that would also be expensive for the treasury. third, universities. the £9,250 per year tuition fee that universities in england and wales can charge domestic students has been frozen in cash terms since 2017. this has led to warnings some universities could go bankrupt in 202a. so do ministers allow universities

to raise tuition fees? fourth, thames water. the company has debt of £15 billion which it is struggling to repay and it only has sufficient cash to last until next may. if thames fails it will likely go into a "special administration" — a form of temporary nationalisation. so does the government act now or wait to see if the firm can raise the private money it needs to keep going? fifth, prisons. the prisons of england and wales had just 1,a51 places available at the end of last week, meaning they are 98% full. from september there will be temporary early release for some prisoners when they have served less than half of their sentence. but that will only create short—term breathing space. will the government need to enact permanent sentencing reform? these are all the tough choices which will loom over the legislative agenda outlined tomorrow. ben chu, thank you. a final word from chris...

with the situation in wales is there anything for keir starmer to be worrying about as he lays out his legislative agenda tomorrow? clearly if ou have legislative agenda tomorrow? clearly if you have been _ legislative agenda tomorrow? clearly if you have been watching _ legislative agenda tomorrow? clearly if you have been watching events - legislative agenda tomorrow? clearly if you have been watching events in l if you have been watching events in cardiff and downing street today it is not exactly ideal, less than a fortnight into a uk labour government and the welsh labour government and the welsh labour government is imploding for all to see. what he will hope for tomorrow in the king's speech, yes there are lots of dilemmas, governing is difficult and there are trade—offs, but a special ceremony and the involvement of the monarch and the horses and all the things associated with a state 0pening can help change the record. i am told there will not be any surprises, there will be lots of bills, planned new laws. a focus on railways going back into public ownership over time, trying to build loads more homes in england. new workers upon of the rights, about three dozen different bills or draft bills, the basis of legislation and new laws. all happening tomorrow

morning. quite a spectacle as well as the politics and you can catch it on bbc one mid—morning tomorrow. political editor chris mason, thank you. and katie razzall will have more on tomorrow's king's speech, on newsnight, over on bbc two at 10:45. katie... with the king's speech nowjust hours away we will speak to a labour mp angry about the labour leadership stance on the to child benefit cap. and we will be live at the republican national convention where borisjohnson has been talking to donald trump about ukraine today. —— the two child benefit cap. should president zelensky be worried about a potential trump presidency? all of that on newsnight on bbc two and the iplayer at 10.30 pm. the family of the british teenagerjay slater say their "hearts are broken", after it's been confirmed his remains have been found on the island of tenerife.

a major search began when he went missing in rocky terrain a month ago, while on holiday. tonight, in lancashire, friends and family have gathered to remember him. fiona trott is live in tenerife for us tonight. every day for the past 30 days the family here on tenerife have been waiting for a development. but you wonder if a parent can ever properly prepare for a development like this, confirmation from a foreign court that their son died alone in a ravine. a remote place, thousands of miles from home. it's heartbreaking to think this is where a teenager lost his life. "just a normal lad from lancashire" — that's how his family described him. all they know so far is that jay came to this holiday home with two men he met at a music festival. a neighbour told us he asked her about bus times. she then saw him walking up a mountain, the opposite direction to where he needed to go.

and then today, news here from the high court. fingerprint tests have shown that the body found in that area was their son, their brother, and he died from an injury probably caused by a fall in a rocky area. away from the investigation, jay slater�*s family need answers of their own. they have recruited these volunteers from the netherlands to trace his last known movements. i think it is very important for them, what has happened in the last hours forjay. you can try and help them understand that. yeah. it all looks and feels very different to the place jay knew. a month ago, people in his hometown of 0swaldtwistle tied ribbons to bring hope. tonight, they came together to remember. i used to go out with him round town, and he was such a lovely lad. it's really upsetting. he was just so lovely.

he was a really good friend and ijust want him to know that we all miss him. jay slater was 19, a young man, but his mother still described him as "her beautiful boy". "our hearts," she said, "are broken." fiona trott, bbc news, tenerife. donald trump has been given a hero's welcome at the republican convention in wisconsin — his first public appearance, complete with a white bandage on his ear, since surviving an assassination attempt. and president biden is returning to the campaign trail this evening, looking to regain momentum following saturday's assassination attempt on donald trump that's reshaped the white house race. 0ur north america editor sarah smith reports. unusually emotional, almost vulnerable.

he walked among them, the great survivor, appearing unbloodied, with just a bandage on his ear. he didn't speak. just seeing him was enough for his followers. welcome to the church of trump. chanting: usa, usa! what a reception this is. donald trump being treated like some kind of messiah. he is absolutely adored by these people. this is not politics as usual. how does it feel seeing donald trump here? wonderful. i can't say the words, but he is anointed, he is called to lead our nation, and prayers unto him to bless him and bless the usa. the attempt on his life and his narrow escape has changed his relationship with his party — and maybe, just maybe changed him? what's really interesting to see

from here is that donald trump himself looks really moved, genuinely emotional. the mood is a little reflective, extremely relieved and even quite upbeat. you are going to be so blessed. cheering. you are going to be tired of being blessed. i guarantee it. this merry bubble will surely soon burst. promises to change the tone of the election campaign are bound to be broken. president biden is also urging everyone to cool down the temperature of their rhetoric. the pressure on him from his own party to step down has been muted but not silenced. in an interview with nbc news, he was asked if he regretted saying it was time to put donald trump in the bull's—eye. what i guess i was talking about at the time was, there is a very little focus on trump's agenda. the term was bull's—eye. it was a mistake to use the word.

i didn't say crosshairs, when i said bull's—eye i meant focus on him, focus on what he's doing. robert kennedyjunior, who is running as an independent candidate for president, was recorded on the phone to donald trump as he described the shooting. and i sort ofjust turned my head. it sounded like the most largest mosquito. and it was, it was a bullet. the assassination attempt on donald trump has upended the election. it might take the heat out of a febrile campaign. it may even affect the result and forever shape how donald trump is seen by voters. right now, joe biden is giving his first campaign speech since the shooting, talking in las vegas in nevada, and it's going to be interesting to see how he changes

his tone. he has said this is a tense moment for the country and everyone has to with one voice condemn political violence, and in milwaukee, at the republican national convention, i would say the atmosphere is different than it would have been if the incident had not happened, and some speakers have significantly toned down the rhetoric. but we know what american politics is like in this aggressive campaign. it's an outside bet that this new mode of respect and civility last very long. sarah smith in milwaukee. meanwhile, questions are still being asked about how the gunman, thomas crooks, was able to try to assassinate donald trump on saturday at a rally in pennsylvania. gary 0'donoghue has been back to the scene of the shooting. almost 72 hours on and still no nearer to understanding why thomas matthew crooks tried to assassinate a former president. the fbi say they have interviewed 100 friends and family.

they've gained access to his phone and internet history, searched his car and home and still no real clue to explain why he did what he did. but more details are emerging about his movements in the run—up to the shooting on saturday evening. on friday, crooks went to a gun club where he was a member and shot on a range whose targets are 200 yards away, further than the distance there would be between him on the top of that building and donald trump on stage. 0n the saturday morning, he bought a ladder a diy store and 50 rounds of ammunition from a gun shop before driving his hyundai car north to butler county where he was initially spotted by local police acting suspiciously around the metal detectors which controlled access to the rally venue. right there, a guy on the roof! but the next time he was spotted was by those eyewitnesses who saw him on the roof of that building and tried

to alert the police. this is about as close to the scene of the shooting as police will let us get. the recriminations over who was to blame for the security failure is now in full swing with finger pointing between local police and the secret service. everything is focusing on who was responsible for that building top where crooks took his shot from. and there are reports in us media that there were local police snipers inside that building while he was on the roof. in his first major interview since the shooting, the president said there were questions about security to answer. the secret service who responded risk their lives in responding. they were ready to give their lives for the president. the question is, should they have anticipated what happened, should they have done what they needed to do to prevent this from happening? that's a question, that's an open question. how the security at the venue was handled is now the subject of an independent inquiry and congressional leaders are also demanding answers. gary 0'donoghue, bbc

explains, then they left him without stitches or care, just these basic first aid measures. exactly how he died isn't clear. the israeli military told us they were checking on the report. muhammed is buried in an alleyway next to home, near his mother. translation: i constantly see - the dog tearing at him and his hand, and the blood pouring constantly from his hand. this is a scene i will never forget. it stays in front of my eyes the whole time. it never leaves me. we couldn't save him, neither from them nor the dog. fergal keane, bbc news, jerusalem. the bbc has responded to the continuing controversy surrounding one of its most popular shows, strictly come dancing. after complaints about two of its professional dancers, the corporation now says all celebrities taking part

will be accompanied by production staff during rehearsals. zara mcdermott, a contestant on the most recent series, has been speaking about what she calls "distressing incidents" with her dancing partner, graziano di prima. when his departure was announced at the weekend, he said he deeply regrets the events leading to him leaving the show. his fellow professional, giovanni pernice, has also left, denying allegations about his teaching methods. lizo mzimba has the full story. this is strictly come dancing. in the year of strictly�*s 20th anniversary, many recent headlines have carried allegations that the show hasn't all been glitter and glamour. zara mcdermott said that, while much of her time on strictly had been positive, her experience inside the training room was very different, saying... "reports have been made about my treatment on the show "and there were witnesses to some events, as well as videos "of particular incidents, which are incredibly "distressing to watch."

her professional dance partner on the show, graziano di prima, hasn't responded to her statement, but he acknowledged at the weekend that his intense passion and determination to win might have affected his training regime. it comes after a law firm said that it had contacted the bbc about numerous serious complaints regarding another former strictly professional, giovanni pernice, who has denied any suggestion of abusive or threatening behaviour. it is the 20th year. they were hoping to pop the champagne corks and be toasting a completely unarguable success. instead, there is a shadow because of allegations of bad behaviour behind the scenes and now the bbc is finding itself on the back foot. the bbc hasn't responded publicly about the substance of any complaints but this afternoon pledged it would have a production team member present during training, have two new roles dedicated to welfare support and have further training for production team and crew.

it will be hoping that everything will be resolved before the show launches later this year. lizo mzimba, bbc news. england's lionesses have made it to the european championships in switzerland next year, securing automatic qualification. the title—holders held sweden to a 0—0 draw this evening, and katie gornall was watching. tram bell rings. it's been a stop—start qualifying campaign for england. gothenburg, they hoped, would be their last stopover before switzerland. england arrived outnumbered but at least their fate was in their hands. a draw here would be enough, but this team, we were told, plays to win. georgia stanway came closest in a first half england controlled. sweden improved. they had to, and hannah hampton, preferred in goal to mary earps, was tested. the game was still in england's grasp. for a moment, it nearly slipped out. 0ne sweden goal would change everything. the pressure was relentless, but somehow england held on. their celebrations tempered with relief.

now, the european champions can look forward to defending their title in switzerland next year, and northern ireland, scotland and wales could stilljoin them. they were already guaranteed a place in the play—offs and have ended the group stage on a high. in glasgow, kirsty hanson was on the mark for scotland against serbia, as they finished top of their group. northern ireland improved their draw for the play—offs with a 2—0 win over bosnia—herzegovina. and all eyes were onjess fishlock for wales, as she became her country's top goal—scorer in their 2—0 win over kosovo. she is in a class all of her own. record—brea ker, history maker. katie gornall, bbc news, gothenburg. the search has begun for a new england men's football manager, following gareth southgate's decision to step down. it comes two days after england lost to spain in the final of the euros.

the bookies' favourites to take over include the former chelsea boss, graham potter, the newcastle manager eddie howe, and the england under—21 boss, lee carsley. the fa could also go abroad, with the argentinian, mauricio pochettino, a possibility. gareth southgate says representing the nation, has been the "honour of his life." here's natalie pirks. distraught after defeat, but the honour of his life. after eight years as england boss, gareth southgate has described the pride and privilege of leading his country. the medal on sunday was silver, but he believes his players were worthy of gold, saying, "they can go on to win the trophy we all dream of". the fa, who hoped he would stay, hailed him for making the impossible job possible. fa president the prince of wales called him an all—round class act. the results he's got with the team, i think, yeah, that's something to be so incredibly proud of. and i think the whole of england should celebrate that. southgate hailed england fans as the best in the world,

but the relationship hasn't always been easy. oh, no! he understood better than most the pressure england players are under, and so he stepped into the breach eight years ago to fill a void. i don't think anyjob is impossible. i think i said a few weeks ago that some jobs are more difficult than others, some are more complex, this is certainly one of those. true to his word, southgate and his 2018 waistcoat went on to prove it wasn't impossible to change the culture and the team and, briefly, england's feelings about penalties. at euro 2020, england beat germany on their way to reaching the final against italy, but that ended in heartbreak. 60 million armchairfans questioned his tactics and his future when england were humiliated 4—0 by hungary. the reaction from the stands was poisonous. fast—forward to these euros, and a star—studded team failed to sparkle. beer was thrown at him,

relations seemed strained. but england's unexpected run to the final got many fans
