so, paddy, it's our last weekend for a bit. there will be newscasts after this weekend at the weekend, but we will not be together again until september. yes, it's very sad. well, it's well earned break for people who listen. we had to think about it. it's really for health and safety. it's like here it's like people who roadies who work on concerts, they have to be given time off. they can't just. well, that's true, but we do. actually, i won't be here next week. but you can share with people if you like an interview i've done today with kit harington and olivia washington. that's quite fun. kit harington, jon snow from game of thrones, and olivia washington, with whom he's starring in that controversial play, slave play. so i've been talking to them today, and you could have a listen to that next weekend. so i'll still be here hanging around to annoy you. but in the meantime,

we've been having a think about what's changed in the big picture this year politically and what has changed in this sort of parliamentary term. i mean, mps hate it when you say that they go on holiday. they say, no, no, it's recess and we're working every moment of the day. but parliament shortly will have a bit of a break. so we've been thinking about those, you know, sort of end of term reports if you want to use that metaphor. yes, i think it's useful. i mean, because the week gone by contained the king's speech, the blenheim conference, some more bumblings and fumblings from president biden and president trump's running mate, because by convention he's still known as president trump. but donald trump's pick for vice president in the race this year said some pretty odd things about the uk. jd vance, and we might talk about that a bit more later on. but first of all, on, you know, the king's speech and labour's week. i mean, i was talking to quite a lot of officials in whitehall yesterday about what it's been like, and there's a bit of a sort of, "oh my god, it's been so smooth."

you know, there's a definite sense that the new government has managed to land things very successfully in their first couple of weeks. the king's speech went off pretty smoothly. with all the shiny trumpets and all of those things. there weren't any big surprises in there, really. similarly, by quirk of the diplomatic diary keir starmer had sitting there ready for him a huge big diplomatic shindig at blenheim palace, where he had the opportunity to have facetime and all the photo kodak moments with about a0 european leaders, and to play host to president zelensky from ukraine. and rishi sunak had put that conference together. that's right. thanks, rishi. that's right. so they clearly feel, i think inside at the top of the labour party and in whitehall, that they have got off to a really smooth start. um, and, but that, of course, doesn't mean that there isn't, you know, all sorts of nightmarish stuff lying ahead. and we've got the chancellor on the programme tomorrow, rachel reeves, and we'll talk about some of the challenges

that they face. but certainly in terms of this week, it has been another kind of its kind of crowning what for labour has been an incredibly successful period, no doubt about it. couple of things. one is the system, one is political. our system really is astonishing the way that the removal van arrives in number ten. the whole government, eh, are turfed out. the whole government a are turfed out. government b arrive. they published 39 bills within days. i think the record is a5. and they've been as low as 11 bills in a recent monarchs speech, because i think it would have been a queen's speech. so the system then in the politics did we learn who labour is from the bills? i think we did not that there was anything new in it, but because it when it came in one

big shiny package with fanfares and bugles, then suddenly you see it as a sum of its parts and the sum of its parts, and if you forget about the things that rolled over from the previous government, so they are continuing some things that were already on the stocks, but the sum of its parts shows us that it is a government that is very interested in expanding the size of the state and the reach of the state. and the reach of the state — so nationalising the railways, having a state owned energy company, forcing places around the country to have building targets which the tories had ditched. so i think once you see it in a package read out by the king, you think, wow, this government really is picking a different course. none of the things were new, but when you see it in that context, then you see actually how they are determined to chart a really very different course, even though of course, during the election, and particularly from the left, you often had well, well, the economic plans that the government wants to do, they're really not that different. they're really kind of the same as the tories. there's hardly a cigarette paper between them when it comes to the economy. but if you look at the approach to planning, if you look at

the approach to energy, the approach to workers�* rights, that's a huge piece of work. it really is a very different direction. and on that, i think it's useful to think about one figure from the left and how he rated it. i saw mick lynch on newsnight. oh, yeah. from the rmt. so he obviously approves of the desire to nationalise the railways. he said that's great. on the subject of lifting the cap on benefit for more than two children, he said look, 75% of parents who claim benefits are in work, so we're already not paying people enough to work because i've often pointed out the there are many people who can't afford to have more than two children they don't have. so the point being, is it fair to give benefits to people who have three children or more if other people are going without children? but anyway, he made the point that actually 75% of people who are getting the benefits are in work. so of course, that's a great example of how keir starmer will be under pressure from figures on the left to get his chequebook out. he will.

and you know, whether that's sharon graham from unite, who told us last week she thinks labour will have to ease off on its fiscal rules, its spending limits. she basically thinks they should. they'll have to kind of move them or fiddle around with them to spend more money further on, or whether it's mick lynch still putting pressure on the two child benefit cap, we are taking you to grand rapids in michigan wherejd vance is now talking, let's listen in. i michigan where jd vance is now talking, let's listen in.— talking, let's listen in. i heard there were — talking, let's listen in. i heard there were people _ talking, let's listen in. i heard there were people being - talking, let's listen in. i heard| there were people being mean talking, let's listen in. i heard i there were people being mean to talking, let's listen in. i heard - there were people being mean to her online saying, your sanction have taken something to begin with and i thought how unbelievably despicable that is. but more importantly, i thought about this as the father of three young children, we've got three young children, we've got three young children, we've got three young kids, seven, four and two. they are out enjoying grand rapids now, my wife took them out on the town and they are going to have a good day today. but if you have

kids, whatever their ages, you know, kids, whatever their ages, you know, kids make mistakes theyjust do and one of the things that president trump wants to do is build the kind of country where kids can make mistakes and learn from them is that of those mistakes taking their life. isn't that just of those mistakes taking their life. isn't thatjust common sense? president trump wants to make our streets safe enough that your kids can make a mistake without it rearing in their life, he wants to make our economy strong enough so that you can maybe start a business or start anotherjob where doing and getting a second chance is not something that only happens to the lucky or to the privileged few but happens to everybody who works hard and plays by the rules. president

trump, in other words, wants to build a country that actually works for the citizens of this country once again. he did before years, he did it —— he did it so successfully forfour did it —— he did it so successfully for four years. did it —— he did it so successfully forfour years. we have never had election where you have four years of one guy and four years of the other guy and who could possibly reject the idea that four years of president trump has been a hell of a lot better than four years ofjoe biden, right? lot better than four years of joe biden, right?— lot better than four years of joe biden, riuht? �* ~ ,, ., �*, biden, right? applause that's right. and we've got _ biden, right? applause that's right. and we've got an _ biden, right? applause that's right. and we've got an opportunity - biden, right? applause that's right. and we've got an opportunity to - biden, right? applause that's right. and we've got an opportunity to do l and we've got an opportunity to do it, we've got an opportunity to win a lot of races up and down the ballot to re—establish american dominance in energy, to drill, baby, drill, and kick out the drug cartels

of our country. applause cheering what do they put in the water in grand rapids here? you guys are a lot of fun. applause but ijust want lot of fun. applause but i just want to thank you from the bottom of my heartfelt given me such a welcome, for giving me and president trump the opportunity to win your vote, for working so hard over the next four months because we want an america that works for americans, and the only way to do it is to re—elect donaldj only way to do it is to re—elect donald] trump, president of the united states. i donaldj trump, president of the united states.— united states. i am going to do everything _ united states. i am going to do everything i _ united states. i am going to do everything i can. _ united states. i am going to do everything i can, i— united states. i am going to do everything i can, i know - united states. i am going to do everything i can, i know you - united states. i am going to do | everything i can, i know you will too, god bless each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart, i am so grateful, and i won't forget

it. music plays that wasjd vance, former president trump mac format —— running mate. the first rally since an attempt was made on former president trump's life. this time, security is tight, at the grand rapids event in michigan, a key state that this election. we know the security arrangements were changed for this particular rally, it was actually taken inside, there were metal detectors that all the rally goers had to go through. and because it was inside, there was no concerns about having to secure any outdoor perimeters. one of the big changes there was taking it indoors and of course the security had to

kick in a lot sooner so people were queueing outside the venue there in michigan for about, it was a queue of about three miles outside the arena after the doors opened around 1300 hrs. we will bring you donald trump's address when that happens about the rally has been opened already therebyjd vance who said to support president trump in making the streets safe, getting the economy up and running and also building a country as he put it that actually works. we'll bring you more details about rally there just as soon as we hear from president trump, former president trump, i should say. israel says it has carried out a series of air strikes on yemen — which is controlled by the iranian— backed houthis. they say 80 people were

injured in the attack. these pictures were released by the israel defense forces and show one of the f—15jets taking off from an unidentified location to hit targets inside yemen. video from yemen shows huge fires around the port city of hodeidah. the houthi—run government in sana'a says israel struck oil storage facilities close to the coast, as well as a nearby power plant. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu said the port was being used as an entry point for the militia to receive iranian weapons. the port city of hodeidah. the houthi—run government in sana'a says israel struck oil storage facilities close to the coast, as well as a nearby power plant. the head of the idf spokesperson's unit — daniel hagari, said israel was fighting a war on multiple fronts. in the area of the port, the israeli air force... including energy infrastructures. israel's necessary and proportionate strikes were carried out in order to stop the

houthi terror attacks. however, this goes far beyond israel. the houthi targets other countries in the middle east, the united states of america, and the world with their attacks on international shipping on the red sea. and notjust the red sea. who is behind the houthis? one country. iran. the iranian regime funds arms and directs the houthi terror activity. funds arms and directs the houthi terroractivity. israel funds arms and directs the houthi terror activity. israel is fighting a multi—front war against iran's aggression proxies,. our diplomatic correspondent paul adams is in eastjerusalem with the latest. this is the first time he wellies have hit back, despite more than 200

projectiles fired it territory but until yesterday, they hadn't done much damage and they hadn't caused any casualties. i think everyone you after that attack, that drone that landed in the heart of tel aviv, killing one israeli civilian, that a response, and israeli response was completely inevitable. and sure enough, just within 2a hours or so, we have seen precisely that. so, you know, after months and months in which the americans and the british have been trying to deter houthi action, both against israel but also against shipping in the red sea, the israelis are saying you kill one of our people and we will do this ourselves. our people and we will do this ourselves-_ our people and we will do this ourselves. ., ., ., ourselves. you mentioned there have been these uk _ ourselves. you mentioned there have been these uk and _ ourselves. you mentioned there have been these uk and us _ ourselves. you mentioned there have been these uk and us strikes - ourselves. you mentioned there have been these uk and us strikes in - been these uk and us strikes in hodeidah. initially, the houthis perhaps thought this was another of

the uk us type strikes and become clear it was the israelis this time. how does it take the whole regional congregation, because we have had this war in gaza with various fronts, haven't we? where does it take us? indie fronts, haven't we? where does it take us? ~ ., fronts, haven't we? where does it take us? ~ . ., , ., take us? we have had repeated reminders _ take us? we have had repeated reminders of — take us? we have had repeated reminders of the _ take us? we have had repeated reminders of the wider - take us? we have had repeated reminders of the wider regionalj reminders of the wider regional dimension of the conflict in gaza, and it is that conflict in gaza that the houthis say they are responding to, showing solidarity with the palestinians in the gaza strip. we have seen that reflected along the northern border between israel and lebanon, where another iranian sponsored militia, hezbollah, and the israeli military has been engaged in sometimes very best battles, and at times there have been real battles. back in april, we saw a whole series of tit for tat attacks in which the israelis attacked the israeli —— consulate in

damascus. iran responded with a huge barrage of missiles and drones directed at israel for the first time and israel also for the first time and israel also for the first time hit back firing missiles at targets inside iran. i think we are seeing these episodes, each time they kinda flare up and side makes its point and then it kind of seems to calm down a bit again, butjust, you know, wejust get to calm down a bit again, butjust, you know, we just get these to calm down a bit again, butjust, you know, wejust get these regular reminders that this is a regional power struggle in which, as israel says, it is battling iran and what it sees as iranian proxies around the region. it sees as iranian proxies around the region-— the region. and the houthis are amonust the region. and the houthis are amongst those _ the region. and the houthis are amongst those iran _ the region. and the houthis are amongst those iran backed - the region. and the houthis are - amongst those iran backed proxies, how likely is it that iran will be drawn back into it again in a more open weight this time around? weill. open weight this time around? well, this is an ongoing _ open weight this time around? -ii this is an ongoing relationship, there is nothing to suggest that

iran has backed off on a support for the houthis and indeed, an israeli military spokesman on the briefing i was listening to an hour ago pointed out that hodeidah is the main port of entry for iranian equipment into yemen. there are other writs across through the desert via oman, but hodeidah has certainly been a focus of interest, in terms of the way iran continues to sponsor the houthi militias. the houthis are saying that they will retaliate, the israelis are saying tonight that if there are further attacks like we saw in tel aviv, they also will retaliate whether iran chooses to get involved this time, who knows, there is a new president in power in iran, we don't know whether that yet signal is any change in iran has lacked approach to its regional allies, and its regional contest.

but this is an ever present danger and the threat of a wider regional escalation, which has been there since october, has simply not gone away. let's speak to gary o'donoghue who's at the rally. tell us a bit about whatjd vance said and about the atmosphere there. well, as you can tell, he was pretty popular with the audience here. they liked him, even though he is from a rival neighbour state, from ohio, saying that donald trump is going to fix the border, going to fix the economy, he talks a lot about kamala harris, the person he will have to debate as she is currently the vice president, and they will have a debate before the election, and how she had done a terriblejob, according to him, as the borders are. and talking a great deal about some of the bread—and—butter issues that are really important in these

states, manufacturing, bringingjobs states, manufacturing, bringing jobs back states, manufacturing, bringingjobs back to places like michigan and pennsylvania and that is the kind of message that goes down very well in these manufacturing areas that have seen a lot ofjob losses over the last few decades stop you can see what he brings to the ticket in terms of that appeal to white working—class voters which are at the core of donald trump's success backin the core of donald trump's success back in 2016. the core of donald trump's success back in 20165-— back in 2016. gary, it is the first time they _ back in 2016. gary, it is the first time they have _ back in 2016. gary, it is the first time they have held _ back in 2016. gary, it is the first time they have held a _ back in 2016. gary, it is the first time they have held a big - back in 2016. gary, it is the first time they have held a big rally l time they have held a big rally since the failed assassination attempt, tell us that the security situation there and what change before the rally.— before the rally. well, it is interesting. _ before the rally. well, it is interesting. this _ before the rally. well, it is interesting. this is - before the rally. well, it is l interesting. this is obviously before the rally. well, it is - interesting. this is obviously an indoor arena, this normally is hockey ice rink, and so controlling an indoor arena is much easier, so they have the traditional metal

detectors outside, there are huge long lines outside and there have been all day, some people camping from last night to get into this rally, into this venue. the capacity of this place is probably about 12,000 people and it is filling up pretty rapidly. i wouldn't say that the security was significantly or hugely different to what you would normally get at one of these events, the secret service were there, you have to put everything on a tray, you have to go through the metal detector, when you go through the metal detector they have a hand—held one that they sort of sweep over your body to make sure you have nothing on you. they search your bag. that is pretty standard. a lot of people being told to take off their hats when they came through their hats when they came through the security, i don't know why that was but that was a thing today. and if you look around the hall, people don't have a lot in the way of bags and things like that so they are restricting the amount of stuff

people can bring in quite significantly. but there is only so much you can do when it comes to security and i think they are running the normal playbook but there is certainly a heavy presence outside the venue of armed police, as you would expect. find outside the venue of armed police, as you would expect.— outside the venue of armed police, as you would expect. and what sort of time are — as you would expect. and what sort of time are we _ as you would expect. and what sort of time are we expecting _ as you would expect. and what sort of time are we expecting former . of time are we expecting former brother trump to speak? and you mentioned in passing the attacks on kamala harris, is that part of a strategy of the trump campaign because they think she might replace joe biden? because they think she might replace joe biden? , ., . ., , joe biden? they have certainly focused on _ joe biden? they have certainly focused on her _ joe biden? they have certainly focused on her a _ joe biden? they have certainly focused on her a little - joe biden? they have certainly focused on her a little bit - joe biden? they have certainly focused on her a little bit over| joe biden? they have certainly . focused on her a little bit over the last few days. i think in possible anticipation as she might end up being the person she is running against. but in many ways the trap campaign wants to run againstjoe biden now because he has been damaged by all these calls from his own side to step aside. and for them, the political calculation is that kamala harris is something of

an unknown quantity. she is the vice president, of course, but once you get sort of transformed into the candidate, in some ways, you don't really know how that is going to play in the nation, even though there has already been polling about her. once she became the candidate, that could become a pretty unpredictable situation for republicans so i think they are pretty keen to hold on tojoe biden for now as their opponent. tell pretty keen to hold on to joe biden for now as their opponent.- for now as their opponent. tell it about the mood _ for now as their opponent. tell it about the mood we _ for now as their opponent. tell it about the mood we expect - for now as their opponent. tell it about the mood we expect from | for now as their opponent. tell it i about the mood we expect from mr trump. in the speech at the convention, he started off with a message of unity and then came off script and went back to the most out of trump that we are used to previously, what sort of trump are we expecting tonight do you think? well, we'll see. but that nudity stuff didn't last very long, did it? —— that unity stuff. there are some

key campaign messages they are hammering every time they are out, immigration, the economy, and crime. the polling tells them that is where the votes are, that is where the swing votes are, that is what they will talk about every single time. and donald trump, he has his well worn lines, his well worn riffs which he tends to produce at these kinds of rallies, and i am sure that is probably what we will see tonight. we will see the extent of which she goes afterjoe biden, he may feel the democrats are doing thatjob may feel the democrats are doing that job for may feel the democrats are doing thatjob for him sufficiently so thatjob for him sufficiently so that he doesn't need to do that but i would be surprised if we get a kind of donald trump 2.0 if you like, a kind of unity candidate reaching out in the way we saw in the first 15 minutes of that speech the first 15 minutes of that speech the other night.— the first 15 minutes of that speech the other night. gary, 'ust briefly, what is your* the other night. gary, just briefly, what is your prediction, _ the other night. gary, just briefly, what is your prediction, in - the other night. gary, just briefly, what is your prediction, in terms | the other night. gary, just briefly, | what is your prediction, in terms of the situation for mr biden? when he

lost out, do you think? —— will he last out? i lost out, do you think? -- will he last out? , ., ,, lost out, do you think? -- will he last out? _ ., , ., ., last out? i say to everyone that i am not a — last out? i say to everyone that i am not a betting _ last out? i say to everyone that i am not a betting man _ last out? i say to everyone that i am not a betting man and - last out? i say to everyone that i - am not a betting man and predictions am not a betting man and predictions a bit of a mugs game. it doesn't look good, it doesn't look good, and we've got nearly three dozen members, democratic members of congress now calling for him to step aside. we have had some big problems this week withjoe biden getting covid and appearing very frail. i think things are very much to lap in the airfor him and i think it could go either way. the air for him and i think it could go either way-— go either way. gary o'donoghue, thank ou go either way. gary o'donoghue, thank you much _ go either way. gary o'donoghue, thank you much indeed _ go either way. gary o'donoghue, thank you much indeed and - go either way. gary o'donoghue, - thank you much indeed and hopefully we will talk to you later on. these are live shots we can see the rally in michigan where we are expecting to hearfrom former in michigan where we are expecting to hear from former president trump, and we will bring you that when it happens, do stay with us here on bbc news. hello. we have some big contrasts in our weather right now.

on the one hand, across many eastern parts of the uk it's dry, but further west it's cloudy. we've had the outbreaks of rain for quite some time now and that's how it's going to stay through the course of the evening. also quite humid in a number of areas. now here's the satellite picture with the radar superimposed and you can see the outbreaks of rain here, the dark blue colours indicating the heavier rain in south—western areas, through the irish sea, just about clearing northern ireland at this stage, but wet in the western isles. further east, it's dry. now, let's have a look at the picture around nine o'clock. so by this stage, most of the rain actually in the south will have fizzled out, although we have a few showers dotted around. dry in the extreme south east, east anglia, most of lincolnshire. the thick cloud with the persistent rain is from around about the lake district northwards into the lowlands of scotland, much of scotland, in fact, into the lowlands of scotland, and all the way into the northern isles. but at this stage you can see clearer skies already in the outer hebrides. and much fresher here 13, degrees, whereas many other eastern parts of the uk still 23. now, the forecast for tonight shows that heavier rain moving away to the north, it sort of fizzles out,

evaporates really in the south. and then we're left with a cloudy, muggy morning for many of us in the east. 17 in hull, about that in london. out towards the west, it's a fresher start with some sunshine. and i think overall, sunday is not looking bad at all. there'll be sunshine in the morning in many areas, but then the clouds will bubble up. could be a few showers scattered across england and wales, scotland too, perhaps layers of thicker cloud in northern ireland earlier on as this weather front brushes ireland here. and the temperatures — 18 in the north tomorrow, about 23 in london, and we'll start to lose some of that humidity. now, early next week, still a few weather fronts to get through. they're coming off the atlantic. the winds are mostly from the west, so they're still pretty warm. still a fair amount of humidity in the air, moisture, but really quite brisk winds, especially around some of these coasts. most of the rain will probably be further north, i think further south it's cloudy rather than wet and certainly some sunshine around. temperatures, 2a degrees expected in hull. ok, let's have a look at the outlook then. it's a bit of a mixed bag,

but if you look at the temperatures, they're actually pretty much bang on where they should be this time of the year and actually into the weekend and the following week, it's starting to settle down.
