8:30 pm
hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. prominent democrat adam schiff calls on presidentjoe biden to "pass the torch" and allow another democrat to challenge donald trump in november. i will bring you to updates before the sport. first on the scene in paris, a car ploughing into a cafe terrace in the city centre tonight, an update from the police, one person was killed, six people is the update who are injured. three in critical condition. the six people injured in that incident, three in critical condition. still, no news on the motorist who fled the scene.
8:31 pm
obviously, the search for him on going. the other line of news i want to bring you comes from the united states. we are hearing special counseljack smith who was prosecuting two of the federal cases on donald trump on behalf of the department ofjustice will appeal that classified documents case. you will recall on monday it was tossed out by the districtjudge cannon in florida, someone who donald trump had appointed to the circuit. jack smith is announcing this afternoon that he is formally appealing that case so it will go on. we will get some comment, possibly, after the sport but first let's go to paul scott. hello, from the bbc sport centre. chelsea have begun disciplinary proceedings against argentine midfielder enzo fernandez after he posted a video on social media — which the french football federation says included a "racist and discriminatory" chant. fernandez says he's "truly sorry" for "getting caught
8:32 pm
up in the euphoria" of argentina's copa america victory — adding that the words "do not reflect" his beliefs or character. chelsea team—mate wesley fofana describes the video as "uninhibited racism". fifa is also investigating, while chelsea say they acknowledge and appreciate fernandez�* public apology and will use this as an opportunity to educate. the response has been as a consequence of the international repercussions. the argentine government, i think you could say does not like anything that could be put under the umbrella of woke, they are on the extreme right. but they have said this is left the country looking really bad and he is called on the captain and the presidents to issue an apology. the suspect a reaction another politician from the ruling group, he deleted it quite quickly but put on social media,
8:33 pm
there is no need to apologise, let them keep crying about a simple football song. and the attitude which is quite widespread, that is where the problem lies. tadej pogacar is four days away from completing an historic double. he's close to adding the tour de france title, to the giro d'italia he won earlier this year — that hasn't been done since 1998. he extended his lead by another two seconds on stage 17 — which was won from a breakaway group. ecuadorian rider richard carapaz got away from britain's simon yates to take the honours. while pogacar in the yellowjersey sprinted to take a little bit more time on defending champion jonas vingegaard — he now leads by three minutes 11 seconds. ahead of the final men's golf major of the year — tournament organisers at the open have been defending the competition's prize money. the winner at royal troon will receive a record $3.1 million us, but the total prize fund of 17 million means the championships purse is just the 28th largest in men's professional golf. that's smaller than the other three
8:34 pm
majors, i2 pga tour events and all 14 liv golf events. the r&a says it's concerned about financial sustainability. idid not i did not know 28 and i don't care. that's not what this is about. our responsibility is for what we do and for what we run, is to get the balance right into get the choices to ensure that the game is thriving 50 years from now. that is the role of the rna. england's men have been preparing for their second test against the west indies which gets under way in nottingham on thursday. they'll be without james anderson following his retirement after the first test victory, but captain ben stokes says he's still having a huge impact on the team. you can see the lights were just
8:35 pm
drawn towards him and wanted to pick his brains about what he thinks and how he holds certain deliveries and i think it has been a very smooth the transition, but no doubt there is still a motion withjimmy because it has only been a week, but with him still being around the team, and i think he knows he still has so much more to offer english cricket, i cannot think of a better bloke to pass on the knowledge of bowling to the guys we have now. it's all about attitude. we have some _ it's all about attitude. we have some young guys and each set to remain_ some young guys and each set to remain through to success through tough _ remain through to success through tough times. it is obviously easy to -ive tough times. it is obviously easy to give in. _ tough times. it is obviously easy to give in. give — tough times. it is obviously easy to give in, give up, but we have to keep— give in, give up, but we have to keep believing and digging deep. and england's women are looking to complete a 5—0 clean sweep in their t20 series against new zealand at lord's a few moments ago new zealand were 83—3.
8:36 pm
moments ago new zealand were 83 for 3 in the 14th over chasing 156 over chasing 156 to win. that's all the sport for now. adam schiff, the high—profile california democrat who is running for the us senate has called onjoe biden to end his presidential campaign, telling the la times he has "serious concerns" about the president's ability to beat donald trump in november. in his statement, he said joe biden had been "one of the most consequential presidents in our nation's history" — but it is time, he wrote, "to pass the torch" and secure his legacy of leadership by allowing the democrats to beat donald trump in the upcoming election. "a second trump presidency will undermine the very foundation of our democracy, and i have serious concerns — he added — about whether this president can defeat donald trump in november." the congressman is among an increasing number of democrats who express doubts about whetherjo biden can win amid the concerns surrounding his age. there have been heated discussions behind the scenes. in fact, on saturday in a call with house representatives, the president lashed out
8:37 pm
at congressmanjason crow who was awarded a bronze star for leading army rangers in iraq. he told the president he was concerned about biden�*s ability "to project strength, vigor and inspire confidence at home and abroad." let's cross live to the republican convention in milwaukee. we can speak to our colleague sumi somaskanda and cbs political director fin gomez. lovely to see you both and thank you for being with us. let's start with adam schiff, he is probably the most senior of the democrats so far and askjoe biden to stand aside, how significant will it be? it is ask joe biden to stand aside, how significant will it be?— significant will it be? it is very significant- — significant will it be? it is very significant. i— significant will it be? it is very significant. iwill— significant will it be? it is very significant. i willjust - significant will it be? it is very significant. i willjust give - significant will it be? it is very significant. i willjust give a i significant. i willjust give a quick caveat we are expecting donald trump to be on stage doing a walk—through injust a trump to be on stage doing a walk—through in just a few minutes. if you or any commotion that is what is happening behind usjust to give an idea of what is happening here at the convention centre in milwaukee.
8:38 pm
but it is very significant. adam schiff is a leading voice in the democrat party close to former speaker nancy pelosi, we have seen reporting from cbs news who is a chief election campaign correspondence saying that someone close to nancy pelosi, the former speaker who we know has a good deal of influence over presidentjoe biden said, adam schiff had not consulted her had not told her that he's going to publicly call forjoe biden to withdraw, we don't know if thatis biden to withdraw, we don't know if that is truly the case but it would make it all the more significant. the ads to the number democrats in the house of representatives who have called onjoe biden to withdraw. it is not 20 in the house. it is notjust adam schiff. i was speaking to democrat sources today saying, look the names who have added their voice to the crowd, jim hines, ranking member of the house intelligence community, adam schiff, on the house and services committee and, adam schiff an important voice

just seeing donald trump who is just appeared behind you. though he is with the bandage on his ear. a comment on the news we have just flashed of this appeal, jack smith will appeal the classified documents case in florida. one of our panelists last night said, he cannot believe the couple of weeks that donald trump has had. obviously, brush with death, and he is alive and well and we can see him there, but the court case tossed out and also the problems within the democratic party, it is all heading in his direction at the moment and you almost feel the optimism flowing from the convention. i can you almost feel the optimism flowing from the convention.— from the convention. i can tell you the feeling — from the convention. i can tell you the feeling of _ from the convention. i can tell you the feeling of optimism _ from the convention. i can tell you the feeling of optimism and - the feeling of optimism and confidence here at the convention is remarkable. you really have the sense delegates here are brimming with confidence and as you say, it has been a remarkable few weeks for the former president. let's not forget the supreme court ruled the president has immunity in many cases in official acts and that was seen
8:42 pm
as a boon for the president as well. asked forjack smith, the special counsel appealing that decision to throw out the classified documents case in florida, i was speaking to colleagues at cbs news yesterday who was saying, that was very much expected, jack smith was always going to appeal, even if it is a successful appeal, what it means of course, is that there is almost no way that we could see disk case go to trial before the election. so that means donald trump, if you were to win the election, can make this case go away, if he chooses to do so, which we expect we he would. i will add an note, i was speaking to congress _ will add an note, i was speaking to congress woman nancy from south carolina _ congress woman nancy from south carolina who will be speaking tonight — carolina who will be speaking tonight at the convention and i asked — tonight at the convention and i asked what will be in her speech. one thing — asked what will be in her speech. one thing she informed me was that she would _ one thing she informed me was that she would take out references to joe biden— she would take out references to joe biden out— she would take out references to joe biden out of her speech because she said, frankly, we don't need to step on that— said, frankly, we don't need to step on that narrative because democrats and the _ on that narrative because democrats and the president are in disarray that they—

8:46 pm
raises his fists in the air and he says, fight, fight, fight. he fires up says, fight, fight, fight. he fires up the crowd. but this is where the media was really dishonest and i think they really miss what the man is made of because after he literally got shot, came within millimetres of losing his life in the service of his country, what did he do, i rememberwhat the service of his country, what did he do, i remember what i did, i was passed. as soon as i knew he was ok, i felt relief and then i felt, i cannot believe and assess and try to take down the president of the united states. i was mad about it. was he mad and angry? he called firm national unity. he sure was mad in fact he tweeted _ firm national unity. he sure was mad in fact he tweeted he _ firm national unity. he sure was mad in fact he tweeted he blames - firm national unity. he sure was mad in fact he tweeted he blames joe - in fact he tweeted he blamesjoe biden without any evidence at all. that is not the kind of unity that the convention said we will hear plenty of this week. do you think it
8:47 pm
will be a different tack tonight? i think so. jd vance, and the aftermath of that assassination attempts, one of the very few republicans who were blaming democrats and issuing angry messages after that violence at the rally. the vast majority of republicans took the social media and since interviews as well to say, it is time to dial down the temperature. and that is with donald trump himself has called for. a message we have heard echoed across this convention. some speeches have strayed a bit from that message of unity a bit but i anticipatejd vance will carry that in his speech tonight on stage. it does not mean he will not be highly critical of joe biden as was mentioned, we anticipate that to be the case. but i think you will focus more on what he believes are the foreign policy issues that the us needs to be stronger on, as he said, project strength and i think you will also focus on his personal story. it is believed that is what will appeal to

a new study suggests more thani million extra life—saving cervical cancer checks could be done in the uk through do—it—yourself testing. in a youscreen trial by kings college london, 30,000 kits similar to the self—swab tests using during the covid pandemic were sent out to women.
8:51 pm
and the team at king's said the results were "fantastic". the researchers say it "gave power to women" and should be extended. the nhs is assessing whether to roll out a similar scheme. let's speak to maxine lenza, health information manager at cancer research uk. when i read the story this morning i was quite surprised. we do so much health testing at home now on our stool, our blood, all sorts of things and ijust presumed that we did this for cervical smears, but we don't. ~ ., �* ., ., don't. we don't at the moment. the current test — don't. we don't at the moment. the current test is _ don't. we don't at the moment. the current test is taken _ don't. we don't at the moment. the current test is taken by _ don't. we don't at the moment. the current test is taken by a _ don't. we don't at the moment. the current test is taken by a doctor - don't. we don't at the moment. the current test is taken by a doctor or | current test is taken by a doctor or nurse and actually, while these results are really promising, they shall be can increase the number of women coming forward for cervical screening with this self sample or do—it—yourself test, but we need more research to confirm that it's all taken sample is as accurate at detecting hpv as a sample taken by a

hello. the weather has started to change. it has started to turn warmer, and it will continue to do so over the next couple of days, turning very warm, even hot in some places, turning very humid as well. but that certainly doesn't mean it's always going to be sunny, and today, we certainly saw more clouds rolling in across parts of northern ireland. that was how it looked earlier on at newcastle in county down. this stripe of cloud here on the earlier satellite image, that's going to bring rain across parts of northern ireland and scotland overnight, but these various weather systems are mainly being steered away to the north at the moment, allowing this warm and humid air to work its way in. so through this evening and tonight, yes, we do have that cloud and those outbreaks of rain across northern ireland, the western side of scotland. it's going to turn quite misty and murky, i think, for some coasts and hills in the west as that increasingly humid air arrives. some clear spells further south and east, temperatures holding up

between 11—14 degrees. so into tomorrow, cloud and outbreaks of rain for northern ireland, for scotland, perhaps the far north—west of england. whereas further south and east, we see some spells of sunshine, but western coast of england and west wales perhaps quite misty and murky at times. temperatures, well, north to south, we're looking at 16—27 degrees. 16—24 would be typical at this time of year, so in many spots, those temperatures just a touch above the average forjuly. we haven't seen many above—average days recently. now into friday, here comes another weather system pushing its way in from the atlantic, but ahead of that, we really start to import some warmth from the near continent. this is the day when south—eastern parts of england could potentially get to 30 degrees. again, though, some mistand murk for some western coasts, a bit more cloud in the mix generally for northern ireland and scotland. even here, though, we will see some spells of sunshine. sheltered spots along the moray coast may well do quite nicely temperature—wise,
8:58 pm
22—23 degrees, but 29—30 in the south—east corner. however, it will not last, because through the weekend, through saturday, we're going to see this frontal system bringing outbreaks of heavy, thundery rain. and behind that, for sunday, we will be left with cooler, fresher air in places. so some heavy, thundery rain on saturday, sunshine and showers on sunday, and by that stage, it will feel cooler.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. i think it's ridiculous that we're focused on this board are ukraine. focused on this boarder ukraine. i gotta be honest with you, i don't really care what happens to ukraine. on face value, this is not good news for ukraine or the west's continued military support for it. jd vance just before the full—scale invasion and said he didn't care what happened in ukraine one way or the other. he has lived the epitome i of the american dream story. i think he's the guy- capable of bringing that same success that he was able - to have coming from nothing, coming from appalachia and succeeding at a level that no—one _ can possibly fathom. we will get to the panel very shortly.
9:01 pm
