normally home to the milwaukee basketball team. day two has begun, some of president donald trump's most powerful allies will address the crowd of supporters here, including house speaker mikejohnson. house speaker mike johnson. former 2024 white house speaker mikejohnson. former 2024 white house challenges, florida governor ronit dissenters and former south carolina governor and former us ambassador to the un nikki haley will also speak amongst others, and we will bring you those remarks live as they happen here at bbc news. the theme of tonight is make america safe again, so the focus will be on immigration and crime but also on matters of family rights and abortion and rental rates, so we will have lots of analysis and discussion of what that message is from the trump campaign and how it matters to american voters. first, security here at the rnc continues to be a key focus following saturdays attempted assassination of donald trump by a 20—year—old

gunman and a pennsylvania rally. early today a deadly shooting one mile from the rnc main venue here in milwaukee prompted a large police presence, including members of the secret service. local media reports either visiting police officers are from columbus, ohio shot and killed a knife 0hio shot and killed a knife who was fighting another man in a nearby park. that incident was outside the convention securities zone but it is the latest example of heightened security concerns for this event and for donald trump himself. of course that incident happens as we learn that us authorities uncovered and arena unit plot to assassinate donald trump, according to national security officials, prompting enhance protection of the former president several weeks ago after us secret service and the trump campaign were notified of the uranian threat. iran has a long vowed revenge for 2020 us air ordered by the then president trump that killed top

commander generals there are no known connections between the threat from iran against mr strom and saturdays attempted assassination in which a bullet grazed his ear. meanwhile nbc news reports that donald trump has now spoken with the family of a 50—year—old corey, the man who was killed in the shooting in a pennsylvania. authorities say he died trying to protect his family at the rally. back here at the forum, events are under way, here at the forum, events are underway, it here at the forum, events are under way, it is noisy and busy behind me here, as you can tell, delegates have been streaming into the convention for the last couple of hours, listening here to the various speakers are gathered and we can go now to our north america correspondent who is behind me down here on the convention floor. we had an exciting electric night last night, what is the atmosphere like now? the

arena is filling _ is the atmosphere like now? tue: arena is filling up is the atmosphere like now? tte: arena is filling up and behind me at the moment we have the senator from me at the moment we have the senatorfrom florida giving a speech, and he is halfway through, just following it he is right back to campaigning mode and attacking joe biden policies, you mention the themes of each night, they are talking about security this evening but there is such a buzz here. this arena, not quite sure how many people are here, we know the overall 15,000 people are expected to attend over the course of the week. later on this evening we will get speeches from two key people of the last two arrivals for donald trump, the former un ambassador eddie haley who is the last one is standing against donald trump and the florida governor ronit dissenters as well. —— nikki haley. we expect them to fully

endorse donald trump. haley has already released her delegates and encourage them to fully get behind donald trump. donald trump himself is expected to attend this evening, he will not give a speech and i am sure when he arrives he will be greeted in the same way he was last night where we saw him arrive with the bandage on his ear. always being given a messiah style greeting. he will give his official speech where he will accept the nomination until thursday. we he will accept the nomination until thursday.— until thursday. we can see behind you _ until thursday. we can see behind you the _ until thursday. we can see behind you the texas - until thursday. we can see - behind you the texas delegation all wearing a cowboy hats because of course in the arena here the delegates are seated according to state where they have come from, where they have cast their votes for the nominee and although this all happens under the shadow of that assassination attempt on donald trump, there is a party atmosphere, a carnival

atmosphere?— atmosphere, a carnival atmosphere? atmosphere, a carnival atmoshere? , ., atmosphere? there is, and i s - ent atmosphere? there is, and i sent a atmosphere? there is, and i spent a lot _ atmosphere? there is, and i spent a lot of _ atmosphere? there is, and i spent a lot of time _ atmosphere? there is, and i spent a lot of time on - atmosphere? there is, and i spent a lot of time on the i spent a lot of time on the floor yesterday. spent a lot of time on the flooryesterday. people spent a lot of time on the floor yesterday. people are still shocked and taken aback by what happened on a saturday at the rally. it has really unify the party behind donald trump was not even more so than ever before. supporters here say they are all in for donald trump but we know that his supporters are donald trump voters, they do go out and vacuum. there are people here who while they are shocked by what happened, but you also really excited to be here. they are even more behind donald trump, in some ways the fact that he has survived this assassination attempt has made him even more of a important mythicalfigure, so to him even more of a important mythical figure, so to speak, in the make america great again movement. as i mentioned, he will be here tonight, we're respecting him to arrive again

with his vice president peakjd vance, just to recap he will be giving his speech which i think will be highly anticipated, the faster we will hear him since the assassination attempt. thank you for that, talk to you again a little bit later. i enjoy now here in the bbc news box by charter wealth, the former acting us deputy secretary of homeland security. thank you for being with us. we arejust speaking thank you for being with us. we are just speaking there about theissue are just speaking there about the issue everyone is speaking about, the assassination attempt on for my president trump over the weekend. they have any number of investigations launched already, joe biden has launched one and there will be some hearings on capitol hill as soon as next week. the current secretary of homeland security will be appearing before a committee next week. what questions are there to be answered? fix, questions are there to be answered?— questions are there to be answered? ., ., , ., , answered? a lot of questions,

obviously _ answered? a lot of questions, obviously anytime _ answered? a lot of questions, obviously anytime you - answered? a lot of questions, obviously anytime you have i answered? a lot of questions, j obviously anytime you have an assassination attempt on any president, whether current or former, and it is not succeed in a sense obviously, president trump is still with us but it was very close. if you are the secret service or the dhs secretary of the director of the service, that is yourjob, to protect your principles and when that happens something fundamentally has broken, so there was a colossal failure that has occurred there. the response i think a lot of americans saw when you saw secret service agents on the present, they did a greatjob, they responded apart of their job in the most important part is prevention, preventing a bad thing from happening and when they fail to do that. there are questions, where was he security breakdown, was it an execution, how much did you rely on local law enforcement, state law enforcement are aware were other countermeasures, what technology and resources, a lot of ground to cover. not only in the hearings with the investigation. i hope that happens quickly because a lot

of americans are uncomfortable with what they saw and they want to know why and how and who is accountable at the end of the day. fin who is accountable at the end of the day-— of the day. on the point that the secret — of the day. on the point that the secret service _ of the day. on the point that the secret service agents . of the day. on the point that l the secret service agents were operating with local law enforcement as well, what is the protocol around that in terms of particularly the scoping mission ahead of the arrival of the former president?— arrival of the former resident? . , . ., president? what service has to do, not president? what service has to do. notjust — president? what service has to do. notjust a _ president? what service has to do, notjust a rally _ president? what service has to do, notjust a rally but - president? what service has to do, notjust a rally but other. do, notjust a rally but other types of protection, they do rely on local and state law enforcement. to do certain functions. it usually freeze them up to do the more specialised security mission they are trained to do. that is what the investigation is to cover, who was given responsibility for the structure, whether shooter eventually was shooting from, was a local law enforcement and did they do theirjob in the manner in which service is one of them to do and require them to do it? was it a planning willing to not plan for that or did individual not do their job? all these things need to come out because only then can you know how to fix it.

regardless of all of that, again, the buck stops with the secret service, they are in charge of protecting the former president and that day, they failed in that mission unfortunately. failed in that mission unfortunatel . ., . unfortunately. however resource is the secret _ unfortunately. however resource is the secret service? _ unfortunately. however resource is the secret service? i - unfortunately. however resource is the secret service? i have - is the secret service? i have been speaking to people around you, ages, they say they do not have enough people. like you, ages, they say they do not have enough people.— have enough people. like any other federal _ have enough people. like any other federal law _ have enough people. like any| other federal law enforcement agency they have a recruiting challenge, like otherfederal law enforcement. this language we use, targeting law enforcement, talking about racism and law enforcement over the past couple of years really since the summer of 2020, we now see the effects of hiring and retention of law enforcement officers, so yes they need more officers. they operate on a budgetjust like other government agencies and so they have to do resource allocation there. part of this, allocation there. part of this, a big issue that happens here, we will probably start taking a

look at other they resourced effectively? we talk about their force protection, obviously they protect the current president, the current officeholders, they go different package then former presidents, president 0bama, bush or clinton. trump is different, he is not the typicalformer different, he is not the typical former president, different, he is not the typicalformer president, is different, he is not the typical former president, is a higher profile. we saw here recently with threats from iran and others, he has a higher threat profile, so the question is are the resources being given to the secret service to provide the protection he needs?,. provide the protection he needs? ., �* ., , needs? joe biden has said he has provided _ needs? joe biden has said he has provided donald - needs? joe biden has said he has provided donald trump i needs? joe biden has said he i has provided donald trump with everything that he needs, instructed the secret service to do that but there is no suggestion of him withholding anything. are you talking about the servers as a whole? we will see whether — the servers as a whole? we will see whether buyers _ the servers as a whole? we will see whether buyers and - the servers as a whole? we will see whether buyers and is - see whether buyers and is talking about post last weekend and a saturday moving forward or whether the dhs secretary and a service are able to allocate what they need to protect him. moving forward i think everything changes after

last saturday. the question is what was that posture leading up what was that posture leading up to that day? one thing to say that incident occurred and i give you all the resources you need, those resources provided before? perhaps the were for so that is with an investigation should uncover because you hear a lot of different reporting, a lot of different reporting, a lot of different reporting, a lot of different reporting thing his detail actually asked for more resources, more technology, to protect the president, was that provided. brute protect the president, was that rovided. ~ ., ., protect the president, was that rovided. ., ., ~ ., , provided. we do not know yet. what does _ provided. we do not know yet. what does the _ provided. we do not know yet. what does the department - provided. we do not know yet. what does the department of. what does the department of homeland security lookalike under new president trump and vice president vance should they be elected? the vice president vance should they be elected? the mission of they be elected? the mission of the department _ they be elected? the mission of the department is _ they be elected? the mission of the department is multifaceted| the department is multifaceted and i think the one we hear a lot about is the border security and immigration mission, so that fundamentally will look a lot different what we see over the past 3.5 years will cite a lot what we saw during the first four years of the trump administration. taking a proactive approach to make sure we secure the border and hold people accountable and remove individuals from the

country they do not have a legal right to remain here. that is something that has been missing over the past 3.5 years. just one of eight measures of the departments, i think you will see that we should be very different. the former acting _ should be very different. the former acting secretary of homeless security, thank you for joining homeless security, thank you forjoining us. presidentjoe for joining us. presidentjoe biden forjoining us. presidentjoe biden is back on the campaign trail after temporarily stopping political advertisements and events following the assassination attempt we have been discussing their on donald trump. joe biden has been campaigning in nevada where he has been addressing the national association for the advancement of coloured people. he started his speech talking about the assassination attempt and the political climate is currently in the us. political climate is currently in the us-_ political climate is currently inthe us. �*, ., ., ., ., , in the us. it's an honor to be here. in the us. it's an honor to be here- as _ in the us. it's an honor to be here- as a — in the us. it's an honor to be here. as a tense _ in the us. it's an honor to be here. as a tense moment - in the us. it's an honor to be here. as a tense moment in l in the us. it's an honor to be i here. as a tense moment in this country. just a few days after the assassination attempt on donald trump, we are grateful he was not seriously injured, we continue to pray for him and

his family. it is time for an important conversation in this country. our politics got too heated. inaudible. we have a responsibility, and condemn violence in any form. jae responsibility, and condemn violence in any form. joe biden was like speech _ violence in any form. joe biden was like speech touched - violence in any form. joe biden was like speech touched on - violence in any form. joe biden was like speech touched on a l was like speech touched on a safety in america and that comes as the republican national convention is this evening talking about the second amendment, the right to bear arms, second amendment, the right to beararms, and gun second amendment, the right to bear arms, and gun safety. inaudible. than any other nation, and that is sick.

inaudible. gun violence in america, getting these weapons of the streets in america. inaudible. it is time to outlaw them. iamjoined by i am joined by bryce reeves, senator. thank you forjoining us. we were talking about gun rights on the issue of gun safety in this country because following the incident of saturday. it is something you have been working a lot on in virginia. is there something that can be done that respects the second amendment rights that people have but also makes this country a bit safety? aha,

this country a bit safety? a lot this country a bit safety? lot of the data we have with regards to use of fireworks —— firearms and criminal situations, a lot of it is based on mental illness, and so what you have seen if you have seen greater background checks on these things. there have been localities that have put together some red flag laws, you will see that in different states that try to go at that, and so america in general, you know, they truly believe in the second amendment, the constitution be governed by a says that right shall not be infringed. they have been a few supreme court rulings we talked about, how we can limit those kind of things, and each thing —— each state has different laws they go by and regulations on how you can purchase a firearm. in reference to the shooter that tried to take president trump's life, i don't know what still is to come out

of that case, but the reality is we have a gun culture in the united states. just getting rid of the guns is not going to cause us to change. a gun is just an instrument, just like you can run people over with a car, you can make bombs, you know, all these different things. so to answer that question, it is kind of a broad question, it is kind of a broad question, but i think there is a lot more discussion about how we handle some of those things, especially with the firearms and use a felony, those sorts of things, tougher penalties for using a firearm in a strong—arm robbery and those sorts of things. the strong-arm robbery and those sorts of things.— sorts of things. the second amendment _ sorts of things. the second amendment protects - sorts of things. the second j amendment protects those sorts of things. the second - amendment protects those rights you are discussing but it doesn't specify that people need access to military grade weapons. is that perhaps something that should be addressed or do you think there should be a limit there at all? no. you are talking to a guy who served in the military, i was in law enforcement. i don't

worry about law—abiding citizens with firearms. what i worry about is the people that are criminals that get access to those firearms. that's what we have to prevent, is the bad elements from getting them, all right? i can tell you countless times, as a law enforcement where i've had people that are licensed to carry a firearm, or they are open carrying, and they are open carrying, and they have helped law enforcement in those situations, right? idon't enforcement in those situations, right? i don't know that... the left tends to concentrate on we are going to limit the amount of rounds. if you are a heck of a shot, it only takes one round, so i can hit you from a mile away. so when you have people that are intent on killing other people, they are going to figure out a way to do it, and i think more importantly, not to focus on what the weapon systems are or how many rounds of what the capacity of the magazines, we

already have laws on the books that cover military grade firearms here. i can'tjust go out and buy a fully automatic ar 15 unless i get a special permit from the alcohol tobacco and firearms are those things, so all those laws are in place, and they are enforced. but the challenge that you have is when good guns get in the hands of bad people, and that is a prevalent problem around the world. �* , ., ., world. and 'ust going back to our world. and 'ust going back to your careerj— world. and just going back to your career as _ world. and just going back to your career as a _ world. and just going back to your career as a law- your career as a law enforcement officer, you are in the army as well, when you look at the incidence of saturday, are there specific questions you have about how that investigation should proceed from here? it's really noisy! you were a detective yourself, law enforcement for many years, there are investigations into what happened on saturday. what do you think that should be focusing on, where are the questions, for you?- questions, for you? what i think we — questions, for you? what i think we need _ questions, for you? what i think we need to _ questions, for you? what i think we need to talk - questions, for you? what i i think we need to talk about,

where the breach in the security happened, how it happened, what were the disconnects between the secret service and the local and state folks who were supposed to do the outer perimeter, and why weren't those checks done? we don't know the full story. the story i got is the office that first engage the suspect was standing on another officer's shoulders, he looked at the suspect, from my understanding, i can't confirm it, because the report hasn't come out, and then he ducks down below the roof because the suspect is pointing a firearm at him and he fell off the other officer. we don't know why he was allowed to shoot with the secret service detail, the sniper and counter sniper, why he shot after the suspect shot, these are all details that will come out. these are all details that will come out-— these are all details that will come out. ~ . ., ., , come out. we are waiting to see this come _ come out. we are waiting to see this come out, _ come out. we are waiting to see this come out, yes. _ come out. we are waiting to see this come out, yes. we - come out. we are waiting to see this come out, yes. we need - come out. we are waiting to see this come out, yes. we need to. i don't this come out, yes. we need to. i don't want _ this come out, yes. we need to. i don't want to _ this come out, yes. we need to. i don't want to cut _ this come out, yes. we need to. i don't want to cut you _ this come out, yes. we need to. i don't want to cut you off - this come out, yes. we need to. i don't want to cut you off but i i don't want to cut you off but i don't want to cut you off but i know steve scalise is on the stage behind so we're just going to dip in and have a

the history of the world. we are the most free, the most powerful, the most benevolent nation that has ever been, its not even close, its even close. but we have no guarantee that this grand experiment in self governance can endure, unless we respond to the call to keep it. 248 years ago, we boldly proclaimed in our declaration that all men are created equal. not born equal. created equal. and that we are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights. see, we understand that our rights do not come from government, they come from god. cheering there is another thing that we recognise. we recognise that we are made in his image, and because of that, every single person has inestimable dignity

have a very different vision for what should become. they want to tear down those foundations and re—mould us into some sort of borderless, lawless, marxist socialist utopia. we are here to say not on our watch, we will not allow that to happen.— on our watch, we will not allow i that to happen._ three that to happen. applause three weeks a . o that to happen. applause three weeks ago the — that to happen. applause three weeks ago the kelly _ that to happen. applause three weeks ago the kelly knight i weeks ago the kelly knight craft of our oldest son at the naval academy. craft of our oldest son at the navalacademy. —— craft of our oldest son at the naval academy. —— kelly and i dropped off our older son. he will graduate and he would during the 1.3 million servicemembers who bravely defend our country. we are so proud of jack defend our country. we are so proud ofjack and our children but like most parents today, we are concerned about their future. america cannot risk four more years of thejoe biden weakness that is invited so much aggression by our enemies. we cannot survive the dramatic increases in violence, crime and drugs that the

democrat policies have brought up democrat policies have brought up on our communities. we cannot allow the many millions of illegal aliens they are allowed to cross our borders, harness our citizens, drain our resources or disrupt our elections, we will not allow it. we are watching the principal... family and freedom that wants to find our... now being trampled underfoot by the radical left. as president trump raised his wrist and gave a rally cry on saturday, now is our time to fight, and we will. applause. me our time to fight, and we will. applause-— our time to fight, and we will. applause. we are in a fateful battle of ideas, _ applause. we are in a fateful battle of ideas, my _ applause. we are in a fateful battle of ideas, my friends, i battle of ideas, my friends, and we have to recognise that, but in this battle and in november, the american people

i see this as the kid of illegal immigrants to this country, that means your first active entering this country cannot break the law, it means we will seal these allan border on day one. it means the people who we elect to run the government ought to be the ones who actually run the government, not unelected bureaucrats in the deep state, these are not like ideas or white ideas. they are not even democrat ideas or republican ideas, they are american ideas that we for a revolution to secure and the man who will revive these ideals in the united states of america is your next residence, the 47th president of the united states, donald trump. if you want to seal the border, vote trump. if

convince you for decades that republicans do not care about your communities, but we do. we want for you what we one for every american, safe neighbourhoods, clean streets, good jobs, a better life for your children, and a justice system that treats everyone equally regardless of your skin colour and regardless of your political beliefs. applause.- political beliefs. applause. , , ., political beliefs. applause. , ,., ., political beliefs. applause. , ., , applause. our message to every leual applause. our message to every legal immigrants _ applause. our message to every legal immigrants in _ applause. our message to every legal immigrants in this _ legal immigrants in this country is this — you are like my parents, you deserve the opportunity to secure a better life for your children in america. our message to illegal immigrants is also this — we will return you to your country of origin, not because you are bad people but because you broke the law, and the united states of america was founded on the rule of law.

lincoln project, some of these others, the unit republicans anymore, there democrats. let's face the facts. should there be a space for them here? there is a space. i am here and jd variances here. there are many people who did not support donald trump in the primary did not support him in his first election that i hear. like vivek ramaswamy, he is here. people who ran against donald trump are given the stage. nikki haley, the last person standing and no—one in this auditorium thought would be delivering a prime—time speech. that shows that donald trump wants people who were against him to be for him and thatis against him to be for him and that is a change. {in against him to be for him and that is a change.— against him to be for him and that is a change. on the point of nikki haley, _ that is a change. on the point of nikki haley, what - that is a change. on the point of nikki haley, what do i that is a change. on the point of nikki haley, what do you . of nikki haley, what do you think we may hear from of nikki haley, what do you think we may hearfrom her earlier? she was so against donald trump a few months ago saying that he brought chaos

party treats them all the same and so they have a wrong preconception over the immigrant vote. my family came in, immigrant vote. my family came in. i_ immigrant vote. my family came in. i know— immigrant vote. my family came in, i know how my family feel about— in, i know how my family feel about people who come in illegally and i think they are basically creating a wedge issue _ basically creating a wedge issue here where they are more in tune — issue here where they are more in tune with the voters than the democratic party is. we heard a strong _ the democratic party is. - heard a strong sentiment from him hit there where he was speaking to illegal immigrants, those who come without correct document saying that we will return you, not because you are bad people but because you broke the law. that is a half message for people who are fleeing bad circumstances in their home country. t fleeing bad circumstances in their home country.- fleeing bad circumstances in their home country. i have deep em rath their home country. i have deep empathy for _ their home country. i have deep empathy for that. _ their home country. i have deep empathy for that. my _ their home country. i have deep empathy for that. my family i their home country. i have deepj empathy for that. my family and i esca re empathy for that. my family and i escape persecution _ empathy for that. my family and i escape persecution but - empathy for that. my family and i escape persecution but we i empathy for that. my family and i escape persecution but we did| i escape persecution but we did wait in — i escape persecution but we did wait in a — i escape persecution but we did wait in a refugee camp and we did get— wait in a refugee camp and we did get our paperwork to come to the — did get our paperwork to come to the us _ did get our paperwork to come to the us and too often i think

democrats take for granted the immigration perspective of pe0ple _ immigration perspective of people who came in legally and at times— people who came in legally and at times they also paint all immigrants with one broad brush as if they— immigrants with one broad brush as if they are as supportive of illegal— as if they are as supportive of illegal immigration as there. the reality is that when you are an _ the reality is that when you are an illegal —— a legal immigrant bufo fought so hard to get— immigrant bufo fought so hard to get to — immigrant bufo fought so hard to get to the country. you focus — to get to the country. you focus on _ to get to the country. you focus on educating your kids and — focus on educating your kids and having a safe community and those _ and having a safe community and those are — and having a safe community and those are what you're focused on. those are what you're focused oh you — those are what you're focused on. you don't care about immigration anymore, per se in the way— immigration anymore, per se in the way that democrats frame it. the way that democrats frame it you — the way that democrats frame it. you care about the bread—and—butter issues that most — bread—and—butter issues that most other americans do. gn most other americans do. on that point. — most other americans do. on that point, rodney, likely been discussing the republican party under donald trump is that where they are going again to try and shore up voters who have different views?

certainly. and when it comes to immigration there has been a seachange because the biden administration in the first month rescinded numerous executive orders that allowed america to get to historic lows when it came to illegal border crossings. when it came to illegal border crossings— when it came to illegal border crossinus. ., crossings. some of those were there because _ crossings. some of those were there because of _ crossings. some of those were there because of the _ crossings. some of those were there because of the pandemic when many countries were stopping travel and border crossings. stopping travel and border crossings— stopping travel and border crossinus. . , , ., crossings. regardless of the circumstances _ crossings. regardless of the circumstances we _ crossings. regardless of the circumstances we had - crossings. regardless of the l circumstances we had historic low crossings and at the time you could even ask many democrats they believe it was because of what they called tom's neanderthal like policies. he was victimising immigrants. no, the victimisation is when the southern borders opened unfettered and uc human traffickers bringing victims across the border in numbers that no—one can accept. so you look also at the fact that something has to be done with

those who come over and that is where donald trump is picking up where donald trump is picking up votes from minority voters who always voted democrat because they see people breaking the law and coming into their community and they then also believe they are taking resources away from their community. something can be done that everybody can get along unlike stephanie said we have a legal immigration system and we must be able to follow it. ., and we must be able to follow it. . ., _ , ., it. that legal system, though, there is broad _ it. that legal system, though, there is broad agreement - it. that legal system, though, there is broad agreement thati there is broad agreement that it is broken and it needs to be reformed. it has been decades since any of it has been reformed. it since any of it has been reformed.— since any of it has been reformed. , ., , . reformed. it is not perfect. massive — reformed. it is not perfect. massive work _ reformed. it is not perfect. massive work needs - reformed. it is not perfect. massive work needs to - reformed. it is not perfect. massive work needs to be l reformed. it is not perfect. - massive work needs to be done. i used to help get people through the legal immigration system. it takes too long and costs too much and when it happens it is the most patriotic moment that any american experiences. people want to come to this country who raise their right—hand and give the oath of their citizenship to this country. we have to be able to make sure

that we change the broken immigration system but i am afraid it is the new third wheel of politics. i think we'll fix social security and medicare and insolvency issues before we deal with immigration issues. ., , ., before we deal with immigration issues. . , ., ., ~ issues. that is a body of work we can talk — issues. that is a body of work we can talk about _ issues. that is a body of work we can talk about a _ issues. that is a body of work we can talk about a little - we can talk about a little later on. alsojoined now by our north american correspondent. today and tonight feels like there is more substantive discussion to the policies and the speeches. last night was all about the excitement. jd vance being declared, donald trump coming here after his assassination attempt. it here after his assassination attem t. , ' attempt. it is different tonight- _ attempt. it is different tonight. we _ attempt. it is different tonight. we had - attempt. it is different tonight. we had a - attempt. it is different l tonight. we had a litany attempt. it is different - tonight. we had a litany of members of congress, leaders of congress get up there and give a speech. there was also a string of republican senate candidates and senators running for re—election who had a chance to make a case to a national television audience but also to donors and deep pocketed voters who can help to fund their campaign. it was a

smile on the face ofjd vance. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. well, it looks like we're in for a break from the heavy rain, the cooler weather. and in its place, something warmer is heading our way. in fact, it'll turn quite hot for some of us briefly towards the end of the week, maybe into the weekend as well. i want to show you the big picture. here in blue, colour—coded, is the jet stream, and you can see it sort of curving northwards, and that opens up the doors for the hot air to stream in from the southern climes. but that's still to reach us. this is what it looks like right now. it's relatively quiet on the weather front. plenty of clear weather through the early hours, a bit of mist and fog here and there, but that's pretty much it. and early morning temperatures, about 12 to iii degrees at about 7am. so the forecast, then, for wednesday shows a weak ridge of high pressure over the uk, but not too far away, there's a weather front.

that's going to brush ireland and maybe western parts of scotland, so at times cloudier here. and also inland, we'll see clouds bubbling up, those cumulus clouds. some of them will turn into showers, so there is a chance of catching a shower on wednesday. but the vast majority of us should have a dry day. 2a in london, about 21 expected in the lowlands of scotland. really, a fine day for some of us. you'd call it a perfect summer's day. now, thursday, this weather front approaches western parts of the uk, so admittedly cloudier with some spits and spots of rain here. further east, it'll be sunny and turning really quite warm by thursday — 27 in london. we're approaching the low or mid 20s across northern england too, and then by the time we get to friday, very little in the way of wind. the air�*s coming in from the south. the weather's been dominated by this high pressure here, although in the north—west, we are being brushed by a weather system, so perhaps some cloud and rain here. no heatwave on offer for north—western parts

of the uk, but a brief dose of heat. let's call it a hot spell, not a heatwave, on the way for parts of england. in fact, in the southeast... well, 29 is the forecast for london right now, but i wouldn't be surprised if one or two spots reach 30 celsius. but it is going to be brief. hence it's not technically a heatwave. you can see by the time we get to saturday and sunday, the temperatures ease to the seasonal norm. bye— bye.
