worldwide tech outage, with more flight cancellations today, despite computers being back up and running. more than 6,800 flights were cancelled globally on friday. a senior democrat has written in a us newspaper claiming joe biden didn't recognise him at d—day commemorations in normandy despite their long friendship. there are now at least 30 congressional democrats calling for the 81—year—old to bow out of the race. soldiers have been deployed to the streets of bangladesh after a day of deadly clashes between student demonstrators and police. a national curfew has been imposed. and disneyland workers in california have voted in favour of going on strike amid complaints about low wages and intimidation by managers. i thought

now on bbc news, americast. there was blood pouring everywhere and yet in a certain way i felt very safe because i had god on my side. i felt that. so that was donald trump with his big and extremely lengthy speech that he has just finished delivering to delegates at the republican national convention. applause. the amazing thing is that prior to the shot, if i had not moved my head at that very last instant, the assassin�*s bullet would have perfectly hit its mark and i would not be here tonight, we would not be together. it is very late on thursday night. so late, it's friday morning. we are going to be running through what donald trump had to say, what it all means, what's been happening through the week. a lot of those thoughts will also be on our radio 4 episode this week. it has been the most

extraordinary few days in american politics, so we will go through all of the highlights. welcome to americast. americast. americast from bbc news. hello, it'sjustin in the worldwide headquarters of americast in london, england. hello, it's sarah smith in milwaukee, at the republican national convention, right in the auditorium. and it's anthony, right next to sarah, in the auditoriuml where donald trump hasjust. finished his acceptance speech. there is a timing issue right at the beginning of this because we are literally minutes away from the start of the today programme, the programme i present in london, and i know i am doing the headlines today, so i know if i go on for too long, i will miss the headlines and lose myjob, so there is a lot of tension in this room. so you will need to keep it brief, justin. i will need to keep it brief, which everyone will be relieved by. just to kick off a thought, hats off to chris lacivita,

this republican political operative. i first came across him many years ago. he was the media adviser to the swift boats campaign. i don't know if you remember this, sarah and anthony, the people who did forjohn kerry whenjohn kerry was running against george w bush the second time around. john kerry had been on the swift boats in vietnam. chris lacivita is a very able political operative and he has now come, it seems to me, to the very top of his career, because what he has done is keep donald trump disciplined and that, it seems to me, is the most extraordinary fact of the night and it does come down to his team, but particularly this guy chris lacivita, who i think we are going to hear an awful lot more about. well, to an extent. he started on the script, and it was a kind of a measured, composed donald trump, that was reading the words

that had been written to him, and he is always completely different when he is on the teleprompter than when he is riffing at his rallies, and i was thinking, there is not enough energy in this, he is not giving the crowd what they want, and then he went off into meandering sections, five, ten minutes long, all the things we are used to hearing from him at his rallies, some of which are true, some of which are grossly exaggerated, some of which are much more rhetoric, whether he is talking about an immigrant invasion or boasting about calling up other world leaders and what he got them to do for him, how he can end wars with a telephone call. this was not entirely scripted, justin. yeah, i think americans may have tuned out by about halfway- through the speech. it started very powerfully, emotionally, but then, . as you mentioned, it meandered, but the tone didn't change. - he had no energy, he had that same monotone, subdued voice _ that he started with. in the beginning, i can see that befitting the subject matter, i but when he is talking about policy, talking about politics, _ there was no energy.

as a pollster said, - this was a rally trump, the acoustic version. hang on a second, both of you... because he was giving us his favourite stories from the rallies as well. but the favourite stories are all written down. i've got in front of me here, i'm rattling the papers, i've got the whole speech written up, including all the capitalised bits. together we will restore, and then capitalised, vision, strength, competence and common sense, in the oval office, etc. so, yes, he did ramble, but the rambling is all in the speech. that isjust him. no, there was about 30 minutes' worth of stuff that is not in the speech, justin. i was in the taxi on my way to work. he did not have in the speech that he wanted to have hannibal lecterfor dinner, did he? no, true enough, true enough. but my central point is that those parts of the speech where he referred to america were an awful lot more inclusive than, for instance, his inauguration speech,

which george w bush so famously described, we can't use the word, i don't think, but so famously described as being weird something. but that wasn't there. that weird sense of dystopia i felt he had toned down. and i come back to the discipline and the political operatives, who it seems to me have said to him, you are going to win this if you just coast to november, and that seems to me to be, including the tone both of you have just mentioned, that seemed to be the order of the night. i think this speech didn't move the needle but, then again, i i didn't have to move the needle. i don't think trump wants - the needle moved anywhere, so a boring speech, poorly delivered probably doesn't hurt him _ and it is better for him, | as you point out, justin, than something that is more red meat. . even though i will say, - there were some things in this speech that were dystopian, - that were dark, talking about these latin american countries - opening theirjails and sending undocumented migrants here.

he was posing as a latin american dictator, thinking about _ what he would do in that circumstance, _ that he would empty hisjails. that is unusual fare j for what is normally a polished acceptance speech. i think you picked up on something, justin, which probably tells us a little bit about the terms and themes we are going to see in the months going forward. the inclusivity you mentioned was obvious in the speakers addressing the convention in the previous few days, some of the things they were talking about. it's a much more diverse republican party that we are seeing here, obviously trying to appeal to some blocks of voters they think they can win over. by the way, you know who is taking the jobs that are created? 107% of those jobs are taken by illegal aliens. and you know who is being hurt the most by millions of people pouring into our country? the black population and the hispanic population, because they are taking theirjobs from our black population, our hispanic population,

and they are also taking them from unions. you are right to draw the contrast with that american carnage speech he gave at his inauguration. this was more optimistic. he was talking about what he thinks is wrong with america, and he said he thinkjoe biden is worse than all the ten of the worst president in history added together or something, but he was painting a much more optimistic vision of what the future of america might be than what we heard from him, for instance, eight years ago. and i am going to concede to you both that there was a certain lack of detail. for instance, i'm just looking at a bit of the speech which i think he did get you, "with our victory in november, "the years of war, weakness and chaos will be over." not a lot of detail in how that happens. so i am bound to... done and done. i am bound to accept what you are saying. but i still think this was a restrained piece of work for donald trump. and what is interesting is the wider context, which is that this is not the only

show in town when it comes to huge news out of the united states, because we are also facing potentially, over the coming few days, the end of joe biden as the candidate running against him. ijust wonder how much that... have you picked up among republicans, do they not care? do they think they are coasting to victory whatever? are they worried about the idea that suddenly it is not biden and they have got someone tougher to deal with? because that is part of the story, isn't it? sarah, you talked about it the other day, they are giddy, aren't they? i they are absolutely jubilant. i have never seen people at a political convention or conference as happy as this. they seem very united, there are no fights going on behind the scenes, and they are just ecstatic. it's just good news after good news for them. another poll came out this afternoon showing that donald trump is five points ahead, according to the cbs poll nationally, three points ahead in the key swing states that really matter, and with one in four voters saying that the way he handled himself after the assassination made

them more likely to consider voting for him, so that is all going incredibly well. it's just icing on the cake to see the democratic party pulling itself apart. of course, there is the possibility that they will face a candidate who might be more of a challenge thanjoe biden, but right now the disunity, the infighting in the democratic party, is just, they can't believe their luck. it's weird, and i hear the balloons popping all around you, that a political party in the modern era can focus on a person who has brought so little in terms of detailed policy. i mean, you know that in american political terms, parties do tend to make it up as they go along, that you have a broad sense, i suppose, of what trump wants to do, but the detail is fabulously lacking, isn't it? they have meticulously avoided talking about policy _ details on the stage, particularly the last i hour of every night, - when the american public

is tuning in. at the convention, if you went for a little walk and you wentl to some of these side events that were put on, there was more - policy details discussed, - but that was well away from any i of the network television cameras, i because democrats have been looking at the policy proposals, the project 2025 that. the heritage foundation has put out and other groups, _ |their proposals, and picking themj apart and beating the republicans over the head with them. i don't think chris lacivita - and the republican operatives running the trump campaign wanted to give the democrats any more - ammunition at this convention. you have got to remember, not every politician has the front of donald trump to stand up on stage and promised tax cuts and simultaneously say he is not going to cut spending on health care or pensions, and not explain how that can be done. a final thought about the front of donald trump, he mentioned god a lot

and said that god was there when he was attacked, etc. it is and said that god was there when he was attacked, etc.— was attacked, etc. it is quite strikin: was attacked, etc. it is quite striking to — was attacked, etc. it is quite striking to see _ was attacked, etc. it is quite striking to see a _ was attacked, etc. it is quite striking to see a man - was attacked, etc. it is quite striking to see a man who i was attacked, etc. it is quite striking to see a man who is| was attacked, etc. it is quite i striking to see a man who is so ungodly— striking to see a man who is so ungodly in _ striking to see a man who is so ungodly in so much of his behaviour understanding viscerally that it is so important to so many members of his party, _ so important to so many members of his party, who genuinely believe, who are _ his party, who genuinely believe, who are not cynical about it, actually, _ who are not cynical about it, actually, who think that god was there _ actually, who think that god was there in— actually, who think that god was there in pennsylvania and rescued donald _ there in pennsylvania and rescued donald trump for a purpose, who genuinely— donald trump for a purpose, who genuinely believe that, and he is lapping — genuinely believe that, and he is tapping into that. i don't think anyone — tapping into that. i don't think anyone seriously thinks that he thinks — anyone seriously thinks that he thinks it. — anyone seriously thinks that he thinks it, but he got there at the beginning — thinks it, but he got there at the beginning of the speech. if i may say so, _ beginning of the speech. if i may say so, god has a purpose for me, which _ say so, god has a purpose for me, which is _ say so, god has a purpose for me, which is to— say so, god has a purpose for me, which is to read the headlines in the today— which is to read the headlines in the today programme. i can see they are already— the today programme. i can see they are already calling next door, so i have _ are already calling next door, so i have got — are already calling next door, so i have got to — are already calling next door, so i have got to go. enjoy the rest of the pod — have got to go. enjoy the rest of the pod cast. it has been a real pleasure — the pod cast. it has been a real pleasure talking to you, if only briefly~ — pleasure talking to you, if only briefly~ l — pleasure talking to you, if only briefl . ., pleasure talking to you, if only briefl . . ., ., ., ~ ., briefly. i am going to talk to you on the today _ briefly. i am going to talk to you on the today programme - briefly. i am going to talk to you on the today programme a - briefly. i am going to talk to you on the today programme a littlej on the today programme a little later. now we have got rid of

justin, we can go into a little bit more detail about what donald trump was actually saying. it was a different man, i thought, who described the moment that he was shot. he started off telling a fairy tale. it was a warm's summer day in pennsylvania when... and ran us through this story, which he said he was going to tell tonight and then never again. we will see if that happens. i never again. we will see if that ha ens. ., ., never again. we will see if that ha ens. . . ., never again. we will see if that hauens. . . ., , happens. i have a feeling that is robabl happens. i have a feeling that is probably not _ happens. i have a feeling that is probably not going _ happens. i have a feeling that is probably not going to _ happens. i have a feeling that is probably not going to be - happens. i have a feeling that is probably not going to be the - happens. i have a feeling that is i probably not going to be the case. he likes _ probably not going to be the case. he likes talking _ probably not going to be the case. he likes talking about _ probably not going to be the case. he likes talking about his - probably not going to be the case. he likes talking about his election| he likes talking about his election victory— he likes talking about his election victory in — he likes talking about his election victory in 2016— he likes talking about his election victory in 2016 and _ he likes talking about his election victory in 2016 and talked - he likes talking about his election victory in 2016 and talked about . he likes talking about his election victory in 2016 and talked about itj victory in 2016 and talked about it for years— victory in 2016 and talked about it for years afterwards, _ victory in 2016 and talked about it for years afterwards, and - victory in 2016 and talked about it for years afterwards, and will - victory in 2016 and talked about it i for years afterwards, and will make reference _ for years afterwards, and will make reference to — for years afterwards, and will make reference to that _ for years afterwards, and will make reference to that because - for years afterwards, and will make reference to that because it - for years afterwards, and will make reference to that because it is - reference to that because it is something _ reference to that because it is something his _ reference to that because it is something his supporters - reference to that because it is| something his supporters want reference to that because it is - something his supporters want to hear from — hear from him. it was almost messianic at _ hear from him. it was almost messianic at times, - hear from him. it was almost messianic at times, speaking hear from him. it was almost - messianic at times, speaking about how providence, _ messianic at times, speaking about how providence, it _ messianic at times, speaking about how providence, it was _ messianic at times, speaking about how providence, it was providentialj how providence, it was providential that he _ how providence, it was providential that he survived. _ how providence, it was providential that he survived.— that he survived. let's listen to some of it- _ that he survived. let's listen to some of it. he _ that he survived. let's listen to some of it. he described - that he survived. let's listen to some of it. he described the i that he survived. let's listen to - some of it. he described the actual moment he was shot. i some of it. he described the actual moment he was shot.— moment he was shot. i said to m self, moment he was shot. i said to myself. wow. _ moment he was shot. i said to myself, wow, what _ moment he was shot. i said to myself, wow, what was - moment he was shot. i said to myself, wow, what was that? l moment he was shot. i said to l myself, wow, what was that? it moment he was shot. i said to - myself, wow, what was that? it can only be a bullet. and moved my right

hand to my year, brought it down, my hand to my year, brought it down, my hand was covered with blood. just absolutely blood all over the place. i immediately knew it was very serious, that we were under attack, and in one movement proceeded to drop to the ground. bullets were continuing to fly. as a very brave secret service agents rushed to the stage, and they really did, they rushed to the stage. find stage, and they really did, they rushed to the stage.— stage, and they really did, they rushed to the stage. and he talked about the crowds _ rushed to the stage. and he talked about the crowds at _ rushed to the stage. and he talked about the crowds at the _ rushed to the stage. and he talked about the crowds at the rally - rushed to the stage. and he talked about the crowds at the rally as - about the crowds at the rally as well, and why he raised his fist in the air. i well, and why he raised his fist in the air. , ., , ., ,, , the air. i stand before you in this arena only _ the air. i stand before you in this arena only by _ the air. i stand before you in this arena only by the _ the air. i stand before you in this arena only by the grace - the air. i stand before you in this arena only by the grace of- the air. i stand before you in this i arena only by the grace of almighty god. , and watching the reports over the last few days, many people say it was a providential moment. probably

was. when i rose surrounded by secret service, the crowd was confused because they thought i was dead and there was great sorrow. i could see that on their faces as i looked down. they didn't know i was looking out, they thought it was over. and i could see it. i wanted to do something to let them know i was ok. i raised my right arm, looked at the thousands and thousands of people that were breathlessly awaiting and started shouting, fight, fight, fight. fight! fight! fight! thank you. once my clenched fist went up, and it was high into the air, you have all seen that, the crowd realised i was ok and roared

with pride for our country like no crowd i have ever heard before. applause. never heard anything like it. over the course of this week, they were _ over the course of this week, they were three — over the course of this week, they were three major— over the course of this week, they were three major themes -

friday brought the uk's hottest weather of the year so far. temperatures for some climbed into the low 305 celsius, but a change is going to be taking place over the weekend with outbreaks of rain. some of that rain heavy and thundery. the rain pushing eastwards and introducing cooler weather from the west. the reason for the change is this wriggling frontal system. it is not going to be moving quickly. in fact, it will hang around over western parts on saturday. some outbreaks of rain across the north and west of scotland, northern ireland, that rain bending into the south—west of england, into wales.

some of that rain really will be heavy. further east, some drier weather and spells of sunshine. increasing amounts of cloud and just the chance of thunderstorms through the chance of thunderstorms through the afternoon. temperatures in eastern england could get you 27, maybe 28 degrees. above the seasonal average but it will turn fresher out west as this frontal system continues its journey eastwards. west as this frontal system continues itsjourney eastwards. we could see heavy downpours into the first part of sunday. but those fronts will clear. high pressure temporarily building from the south—west and with some cooler fresher conditions following from the atlantic. 50 a very different feel to the weather on sunday. we will have lost the real warmth and humidity. some rain to start off across shetland, the residue of cloud across parts of england. then some spells of sunshine, but another cloudy zone starting to dublin from the west, bringing one or two showers. if anything, a touch below the average temperature for the time

of year. through sunday night and into monday, it looks like we will see this next frontal system pushing in from the west. we could see some quite heavy bursts of rain, particularly across some parts of scotland. further south, particularly across some parts of scotland. furthersouth, northern scotland. further south, northern ireland, scotland. furthersouth, northern ireland, england and wales, the rain generally likely to be quite showery in nature and some sunny spells in between. those temperatures are still north to south. certainly not as warm as it has been. monday night, that frontal system is expected to clear eastwards with another transient ridge of high pressure building on. so while they will still send me some showers around on tuesday, especially across eastern parts, most places looking fine and dry with decent spells of sunshine. and in that sunshine, the sunshine. and in that sunshine, the sun is strong at this time of year, 23, maybe 2a degrees down towards the south, more like 19 across many parts of scotland. into wednesday, still fine and dry for the most

part, although more cloud may arrive from the west. a few splashes of rain with that. temperatures on wednesday getting to 2a, maybe 25 degrees. 21 in belfast, so still not feeling too bad. and as we head towards the end of the week, this area of high pressure in the south holding on for a while but it does look like we will see a frontal system drifting eastwards bringing some outbreaks of rain. and into next weekend, a bit of a question, because high pressure is expected to build once again, but it may be we see this residual area of low pressure trapped in the flow, so that could continue to generate some showers as we head through next weekend. it does on balance look reasonably dry, but certainly not as warm as it has been. that is all from me. bye for now.
