to end his bid for re—election — that brings the count to more than 30 lawmakers asking him to step aside. welcome to the programme, we start in the us with us politics, but we actually start with donald trump and that speech you may have seen. his name up in gold lights, the former president accepted the republican nomination less than a week after surviving an assassination attempt. before he even took to the stage, the crowd at the republican national convention in milwaukee was whipped up into a frenzy. there was a performance from kid rock of his new song about donald trump. and then there was this, from wwe hall of fame wrestler hulk hogan.

and they tried to kill the next president of the united states! enough was enough! and i said, "let trumpomania run wild, brother!" let trumpomania rule again! let trumpomania make america great again! so the stage was set for donald trump himself to close the convention. after accepting the nomination, he discussed his experience of surviving the assasination attempt last saturday, and briefly talked of unity in america and an end to political divisiveness. but quickly, he returned to his usual script. i'm not supposed to be here tonight, not supposed to be here. _ man: yes, you are! i stand before you in this arena - only by the grace of almighty god. cheering | will end the illegal.

immigration crisis by closing our border and finishing the wall. most of which i've already built. cheering what's better than that? we have to stop the invasion into our country that's killing hundreds of thousands a year. while the crowd in milwaukee hung off his every word for his 92—minute long speech — the longest acceptance speech ever at a convention. let's take a look at what the us media thought. "it was trump untethered" — said the new york times. "subdued, defiant, and everything in between," according to politico. and the washington post questions whether he actually blew an opportunity to widen his appeal with talk of unity and end of divisiveness, using most of his speech to continue his attack on democrats. let's bring in our panel.

rachel shabi, journalist and author, and joe walsh, former republican congressman and 2020 presidential candidate. joe, starting with you, it feels and looks like the republican party is donald trump's party. spat looks like the republican party is donald trump's party.— looks like the republican party is donald trump's party. spot on, and look, i say — donald trump's party. spot on, and look. i say this _ donald trump's party. spot on, and look, i say this is _ donald trump's party. spot on, and look, i say this is a _ donald trump's party. spot on, and look, i say this is a former - look, i say this is a former republican, i say this is someone who believes trump is a threat to our democracy — i don't want him anywhere — our democracy — i don't want him anywhere near the white house again — but anywhere near the white house again - but this_ anywhere near the white house again — but this party is his. we have two major— — but this party is his. we have two major political parties in america, and it's_ major political parties in america, and it's been donald trump's party for a _ and it's been donald trump's party for a while — and it's been donald trump's party for a while. just think about that — and fora while. just think about that — and i_ for a while. just think about that — and i remind — for a while. just think about that — and i remind people of this, three and i remind people of this, three and a _ and i remind people of this, three and a half— and i remind people of this, three and a half years ago, donald trump tried to _ and a half years ago, donald trump tried to overthrow an american election — tried to overthrow an american election. think about that — and here _ election. think about that — and here he — election. think about that — and here he was on stage three and a half years— here he was on stage three and a half years later accepting the nomination of my former political party _ nomination of my former political party. the — nomination of my former political party. the world needs to wake up,

failed, i mean hejust can't do it. he apparently couldn't stick to the speech that his scriptwriters and team had drafted for him — he started off on this unity thing, then very quickly deviated into the usual patter of demonising migrants, insulting opponents, scapegoating and demonising china, and telling rampant lies. so i wonder about that, that it is, however much the idea is to present a changed trump, he very clearly has not change, cannot change, and still the danger to democracy and the world that he always was. hand to democracy and the world that he always was— to democracy and the world that he always was-— always was. and joe, what do you make of that _ always was. and joe, what do you make of that idea _ always was. and joe, what do you make of that idea of _ always was. and joe, what do you make of that idea of perhaps - always was. and joe, what do you make of that idea of perhaps him | make of that idea of perhaps him missing an opportunity to widen his support? or is it a case that he's

of the ticket — is reportedly meeting with democratic donors today. despite it all, he still says he will be back on the campaign trail on monday. joe, if we can start with you, what do you think of the position ofjoe biden right now? you do you think of the position of joe biden right now?— biden right now? you know, joe biden had one thing — biden right now? you know, joe biden had one thing to _ biden right now? you know, joe biden had one thing to prove _ biden right now? you know, joe biden had one thing to prove in _ had one thing to prove in this campaign, just one — he had to prove that he _ campaign, just one — he had to prove that he wasn't too old and was still up that he wasn't too old and was still up to— that he wasn't too old and was still up to the _ that he wasn't too old and was still up to the job. a month ago, he failed _ up to the job. a month ago, he failed at — up to the job. a month ago, he failed at that, and in the months since. _ failed at that, and in the months since. he — failed at that, and in the months since, he really hasn't been able to do something about that. look, if joe biden— do something about that. look, if joe biden were 151 years old and in a coma, _ joe biden were 151 years old and in a coma, and — joe biden were 151 years old and in a coma, and he were the democratic nominee. _ a coma, and he were the democratic nominee. id— a coma, and he were the democratic nominee, i'd vote for him against trump _ nominee, i'd vote for him against trump and — nominee, i'd vote for him against trump and it wouldn't be a close call~ _ trump and it wouldn't be a close call~ but — trump and it wouldn't be a close call. but the most important thing is to heat— call. but the most important thing is to beat trump. to do that, the issue _ is to beat trump. to do that, the issue has— is to beat trump. to do that, the issue has to _ is to beat trump. to do that, the issue has to beat trump — i don't know— issue has to beat trump — i don't know how— issue has to beat trump — i don't know how biden can do that when his

to whatjoe was referring to earlier about this huge anger around the lack of a real democracy, the appearance of a managed democracy in the us that applies just as much of the us that applies just as much of the democrats when there's so much discontent over gaza, over biden and his own electability in the months to come, and the fact that there is this disconnect between what the party faithful is saying and what voters are saying, and what the man himself and those closest around him are saying. that in itself is bad for democracy too.— are saying. that in itself is bad for democracy too. joe, if i can put the counterargument _ for democracy too. joe, if i can put the counterargument to _ for democracy too. joe, if i can put the counterargument to you, - for democracy too. joe, if i can put the counterargument to you, joe i the counterargument to you, joe biden believes he's the best person to be donald trump. now whether that's true or not, if you are in

harris? people say it's a very difficult process shifting away from joe biden, whatever happens, but it's even more difficult to effectively skip over kamala harris. so if we entertain this hypothetical that it so if we entertain this hypothetical thatitis so if we entertain this hypothetical that it is kamala harris, what do you make of that in a battle with donald trump?— you make of that in a battle with donald trump? you make of that in a battle with donald trum? ~ ., �* ,, ., ., donald trump? welll don't know, and i think donald trump? welll don't know, and i think that's — donald trump? welll don't know, and i think that's a — donald trump? welll don't know, and i think that's a problem _ donald trump? welll don't know, and i think that's a problem for _ donald trump? welll don't know, and i think that's a problem for the - i think that's a problem for the democrats — there looking at a surer, noble thing with biden, even though it's a very bad knowable, as we just talked through with the lack of party support and voter disengagement. but that's a known thing, and everything else is unknown. so there's a worry there that has to be managed very carefully. i do think probably the best way forward might be something like a mini primary, which has already been touted and is already being talked about, where kamala harris is given the sort of baton by

joe biden, but then the party itself goes through this process of having a very quick, very short mini primary, then we can see, and all the others road tested —— kamala harris and the others. they can show how they perform under pressure and how they perform under pressure and how they perform under pressure and how they appear in hustings and media appearances. because so far, that's been unseen and unknown. of course she looks great, she looks solid, but in terms of the performance of it, we don't really know that much yet. joe. performance of it, we don't really know that much yet.— know that much yet. joe, can i finish off _ know that much yet. joe, can i finish off this _ know that much yet. joe, can i finish off this section - know that much yet. joe, can i finish off this section with - know that much yet. joe, can i finish off this section with you | know that much yet. joe, can i . finish off this section with you and looking ahead to next week, how crucial is it forjoe biden next week in your eyes, and can i ask you a slightly unfair question — do you think it will be his name up against donald trump in november? i don't, i think it will be —

former common speaker, sirjohn bercow, relaxed the rules on thai wearing a few years ago in 2017 — but the new common speaker is having none of it and wants men to donna ty. this amuses me because i think it's ridiculous, it's possible to look smart without wearing a tie —— donna ty. it's not either wear a tie or go into the house of commons and your flip—flops or go into the house of commons and yourflip—flops in bermuda shorts, there's a whole array of smart dress in between, but i also think what it speaks to is a sort of relaxation of rules around office and work life more generally that happened post—covid and lockdown that you can see around issues like the relaxation of dress codes, but also going into work, as opposed to working from home. and ijust think

we're not going back to the bad old days of formal wear and being stuck in the office all day, every day. it'll be very hard to go back to all of that now, including the wearing of that now, including the wearing of ties when a shirt would suffice. i gotta bring joe in because you look sharp as anything, fabulous, but no tie. �* �* look sharp as anything, fabulous, but no tie-— but no tie. and i'll respectfully disa . ree but no tie. and i'll respectfully disagree with _ but no tie. and i'll respectfully disagree with rachel, - but no tie. and i'll respectfully disagree with rachel, i - but no tie. and i'll respectfully disagree with rachel, i think. but no tie. and i'll respectfully | disagree with rachel, i think ty waring — disagree with rachel, i think ty waring lewis looks much smarter and sharper— waring lewis looks much smarter and sharper than — waring lewis looks much smarter and sharper than i waring lewis looks much smarter and sharperthan i do, waring lewis looks much smarter and sharper than i do, no contest. joe, ou can sharper than i do, no contest. joe, you can definitely _ sharper than i do, no contest. ire: you can definitely come back sharper than i do, no contest. jr9: you can definitely come back on sharper than i do, no contest. jr9 you can definitely come back on to the context, automatic booking, great stuff, we are out of time. thank you both so much, great fun. just to let you know what we are keeping across here just before i head off — of course that it outage

in the global impact. we are starting to get some of the numbers now, giving you a sense of what has been happening and what has happened. so let's stick with the airports — you can see this is manchester airport here — now, more than 5000 flights cancelled globally because of this it failure. so if we break that down, that's 4.6% of those scheduled around the world, 5078, here in the uk — so these are uk figures only —167 departures cancelled, that's over 5% of those scheduled, and 171 arrivals were cancelled as well. stay with us, plenty more coming up. i'm lewis vaughanjones, this is bbc news. hello from the bbc sport centre.

i'm adam wilde. it's the 2019 open champion shane lowry, who leads the way after day two of this years competition at royal troon. he's defied difficult scoring conditions to shoot a second consecutive under par round. the irishman backed up his 66 on day one with a two—under 69 including a birdie on the last to finish the day seven under. lowry has birdied the 18th in both rounds, and admitted he's getting a similar vibe to the one he had at port rush five years ago. a lot of irish people out there. a lot of irish people out there, and scottish people out there that have my back. the support i've had the last few days is incredible. they cheered on every tv, every green, every fairway. and yes, it feels a little bit like that. but i try not to think about it too much, you know, give myself

a chance here on sunday, and i'll be very happy with myself. you know, myjob tomorrow is to put myself in a position to win this tournament on sunday. so, it's lowry out in front with justin rose and yesterday's overnight leader daniel brown two shots back. world number one, scottie scheffler, will though fancy his chances of a seventh victory in his last 11 tournaments, whilst it's all over for rory mcilroy and tiger woods for another year. to trent bridge — where kavem hodge was the star of the show, as the west indies dominated day two of the second test at trent bridge to trail england by 65 runs — as patrick gearey reports. the kind of day in nottingham to wear sunscreen, and batting pads. the weather hot, the pitch matters, west indies chanced to advance, the morning was sedate month so england changed the piece dramatically. mark wood clocked faster than any englishman in history, speed that rushes the brain, even when the world slows and spins. mikyle lewis had not adjusted, harry brook had.

shoab bashir, profited, england switch between the brakes and the gas, disorientating bowling. west indies dizzy and three down at lunch, they shuffled along carefully afterwards, fearful of a spill, but when it came it was through english hands. joe root let kaven hodge slipped, and escape which seem to embolden them, cue a session of dominican domination. both letters from the same alan country, both past 50. —— the same ireland country. but ben foulkes wants his side to find a way in difficult conditions. he leads by example, but there was courage in the betting of kavem hodge, listen to what it sounds like to score a test century. it ended in 120, trapped by ben stokes, this time england have a test.

hello. today has brought the uk's hottest weather of the year so far. temperatures for some climbed into the low 30s celsius, and look at this beautiful scene sent in by a weather watcher in dorset. there was quite a lot of sunshine in places. however, that wasn't the story everywhere. more cloud in the mix here in county down. northern ireland and parts of scotland have seen quite a lot of cloud in advance of this frontal system. this is going to be sweeping its way eastwards over the weekend, bringing some outbreaks of rain and bringing something cooler and fresher. but for the time being, pretty warm and humid through this evening and tonight. quite misty and murky for south—west england and for wales, and these outbreaks of rain spinning in across northern ireland and western scotland. overnight lows between 13—17, maybe around 18 degrees in some places. so we head into tomorrow, and these outbreaks of rain affecting northern ireland, western scotland and then some heavy rain spinning in across the south—west of england and wales. but for eastern scotland

and eastern england, we will hold on to something drier and a little bit brighter. and staying pretty warm as well — 25, 26, maybe 27 degrees. could see the odd sharp shower breaking out across east anglia, other parts of eastern england, but through south—west england, wales, into north—west england, the isle of man, northern ireland, western scotland, we will see these outbreaks of rain, some of that rain on the heavy side. eastern scotland, say across aberdeenshire, likely to hold on to a bit more in the way of sunshine and temperatures into the low 20s celsius. now, as we head through saturday evening, we will see some of these heavy downpours pushing eastwards. we may see a few thunderstorms just clipping into the south—east corner, but all of that will sweep its way eastwards as we get into sunday, with a little temporary ridge of high pressure building in behind and some cooler, fresher air following from the atlantic. so a very different feel to the weather on sunday. some rain to start off across shetland, a residue of cloud across eastern england, then some spells of sunshine. but i think we will see a bit more

cloud rolling its way in from the west through the day, perhaps giving one or two showers, but these temperatures north to south, 15—22 degrees. so certainly a cooler, fresher feel, and for the most part, we will stick with that into next week. still feeling warm in any sunshine. it certainly won't be raining all the time, but there is some wet weather in the forecast.
