we face recruiting and retaining doctors and nurses and teachers as well, but we will do it in a proper way and make sure that the sums add up. former president donald trump tells republican supporters at a michigan rally he "took a bullet for democracy". israel says it has intercepted a missile launched from yemen shortly after the israeli air force carried out a series of strikes. bangladesh's top court has scrapped most of the quotas on government jobs, that have triggered nationwide anti—government demonstrations. hello, i'm tanya beckett. the chancellor, rachel reeves, has said the government will "make sure the sums add up" if public sector workers are given above inflation pay rises.

the remark came after independent pay review bodies recommended an increase of 5.5% for teachers and some nhs workers. the rate of inflation is currently 2 %. ms reeves told sunday with laura kuenssberg, she would announce her decision on public pay by the end of this month. bbc political correspondent tony bonsignore told me earlier — exactly what this pay rise could mean for public sector workers. inflation is at 2%. the recommendation we understand from the independent pay review bodies this is for nhs workers and teachers is 5.5%. so above inflation is quite a wide range here. we are sort of being led to believe that it will be it will be above inflation, but it's not clear whether they will actually accept the full recommendation. give teachers and nhs workers the full five, 5.5%. and of course, if they do, there will be implications

because that's a higher number than treasury officials were expecting. so it could be in the region of £3 billion extra. they've got to find which would have a knock on impact, of course, on later spending, tax and borrowing decisions. so rachel reeves asked about this, as you say, on sunday with laura kuenssberg, herfirst big interview since getting into number 11 downing street. this is what she had to say about it. there is a cost to not settling, a cost of further industrial action, a cost in terms of the challenge that we face in recruiting and retaining doctors and nurses and teachers as well. but we'll do it in a proper way and make sure that the sums add up. so that that phrase right, you heard right at the end, the sums add up. that is very that it's doing a lot of heavy lifting. what about the other question of a cap on benefits? and that is going to be the other big story over the next couple of days, because mps tomorrow are going to be debating the king's speech for,

i think, the fourth or fifth day. but the subject tomorrow is the economy, and it's the first day in which mps can start to vote on what's called amendments, so mps can put forward amendments to the king's speech, which says, ah, yes, but we'd like we really want to see this. and there's four amendments down tomorrow that are on the child benefit cap, pushed by lots and lots of labour mps, and this feels like their first pressure point, particularly from the left of the party. so listen to this. this is a labour mp, zarah sultana. also this morning on sunday with laura kuenssberg. she's sort of from the left of the party. this is her view on it. well, if the labour party has a moral mission, it has to be to eradicate poverty, especially child poverty. there are families experiencing unnecessary hardship, rachel mentioned tough decisions. we can fund this if we look at different tax decisions where the wealthiest with the broadest shoulders pay for this, we can. we are the sixth largest economy in the world, yet one of the most unequal in the developed world.

we can fund this commitment if we want to, and it's a matter of political will. we can uplift 300,000 kids instantly from poverty if we do this. so there you go. and that is a view that's replicated amongst many, many mps, some of them who have gone public. so for example, rosie duffield, an mp today writing in the sunday newspaper saying that she thinks it's some sort of social cleansing to have this cap in place. she wants to see it go, but it's a big decision. again, this for rachel reeves. she was asked about it this morning. she didn't say she would necessarily like to see it go. her point was this. let's go back to the sums adding up and financial rectitude. she said i will not make unfunded spending commitments. i promised that ahead of the election. and that's the way i'm going to be now. i'm chancellor. donald trump has told a campaign rally in michigan that he is not a threat to democracy, saying he took a bullet for democracy — a reference to the failed assassination attempt against him last saturday.

addressing thousands of republican supporters, mr trump said he was sure he'd win the presidential election in november. he repeatedly mocked joe biden, saying the democratic party still did not know who its candidate would be in november due to concerns over the president's health. our correspondent, jenny kumah, reports. thousands turned out for this first rally since the shooting. security checks meant long waits, but many were determined to show their support. after what happened last week i hadn't planned on attending a rally this year because i've been to so many in the 2016 and 2020 election, but i'm here to show solidarity with trump that we do stand behind him. and as long as he stays in the fight, we're going to stand behind him now. he's bigger and better than ever. no, no, we love him. and i think he really, really, gelled the country, brought us together. a few days ago, after his near death experience, donald trump called for unity in the country.

yet within minutes of speaking at the rally, he attacked his rival. but what they do is misinformation and disinformation, and they keep saying he's a threat to democracy. i'm saying, what the hell did i do for democracy? last week, i took a bullet for democracy. what did i do against democracy? it felt like a pop concert. the former president continued to sing the old songs, attacking the media, migrants and joe biden. the crowd cheered. his vice president warmed the crowd up. speaking for the first time as donald trump's running mate at a rally. but there's some bad news, actually. the vice president, kamala harris, she doesn't like me. kamala harris said something to the effect that i have no loyalty to this country.

well, i don't know, kamala. i did serve in the united states marine corps and build a business. what the hell have you done other than collect the check? jd vance is seen as someone who can help his party wind crucial working class votes here and in other key battleground states. donald trump won in michigan in 2016, but it flipped back tojoe biden in 2020. the republicans say their party is the most united it's been for decades, and they say that contrast with the democrats as questions continue over the future ofjoe biden in the presidential race. nearly three dozen democrats have cold for mr biden to withdraw. the president says he'll continue to campaign next week it's he insists he's staying in the race to wind it. jenny kumah, bbc news, michigan.

there's growing pressure on president biden to pull out of the presidential race. mr biden who's isolating with covid says he plans to return to the campaign trail in the coming days, but a growing number of democrats are urging him to reconsider his position. a democratic congressman, who described mr biden as a friend, said he didn't seem to recognise him at a d—day event last month. robin swanson, a democratic strategist and a member of the california democratic party — was following trump's speech. i think it is quite the opposite of what donald trump said he was going to do. he said he was going to be unifying. his speech today was what we know of donald trump. he is a divisive leader once mass deportations and isolationism. he vilifies immigrants and want to take away rights from women. so we saw more of the true donald trump, and as democrats, we really have to talk about that record.

there is no doubt that the assassination attempt was a horrible event for all americans, no matter what our party affiliations. but now is the time to talk about the difference in his vision for america, which is terrifying. it is terrifying for immigrants, it is terrifying for women. it is terrifying for working families. we have to draw that contrast now. israel's military says its air defence system has intercepted a missile fired from yemen before it could enter israeli airspace over the southern region of eilat. the attack comes after israeli fighterjets carried out air strikes on saturday on on the houthi controlled port of hodeidah in yemen.the reuters news agency reports that six were killed and dozens injured — when israel struck oil storage facilities and a power plant. it's the first time israel has responded directly to what it says have been hundreds of yemeni drones and missiles aimed at its territory.

our correspondent injerusalem — barbara plett usher — explained the significance of the strikes. it is quite significant for its implications in terms of the wider regional conflict, because the houthis have been firing, uh, missiles and drones at israel because of the gaza war in solidarity with the palestinians, they say. and these strikes or these attacks haven't really created any damage because they've been intercepted, most of them. but now they hit tel aviv last week and cooled somebody. and this is why the israelis have responded with the first time they've had this direct attack against yemen. and the yemenis have responded by saying, or the houthis have responded by saying, we will meet escalation with escalation. so the israelis have a greater threat on their northern border

from the his brother in lebanon. but both of these groups, his brother and the houthis, are backed by iran. so the israelis see this as a wider conflict with iran that's being fought on different fronts. and now this front with the houthis in yemen has flared up and created let's get more on this with professor paul moorcraft. he is a security analyst and has also been associated with the ministry of defence. how important a turning point is this in a conflict which has its roots in the conflict between israel and hamas? it is an escalation. this is the first time that israelis have struck directly. the british have been heavily involved with this. the saudis have been involved. they have

been training pilots. the royal navy has been involved in the red sea. since october the 7th, it has been war. it has me been becoming worse on all these fronts. netanyahu will be visiting the united states to speak to joe be visiting the united states to speak tojoe biden. it is a critical period in international affairs. we can't know for sure, but his brother. they have been over

200 attacks altogether according to the idf. this is a real escalation. let me interrupt you there. why would israel choose to intervene now? it is by no means the first attack by the who to israel. why intervene now?— attack by the who to israel. why intervene now? used really say that it is because — intervene now? used really say that it is because it _ intervene now? used really say that it is because it is _ intervene now? used really say that it is because it is the _ intervene now? used really say that it is because it is the first _ intervene now? used really say that it is because it is the first time - it is because it is the first time somebody has been killed. no israeli has been kales by houthis up to now. america and britain have been

attacking yemen regularly. the tempo is increasing in lebanon. it has been escalating. there are indications that missile experts have been stationed in yemen. there are 1000 118 miles to tel aviv. all of these missiles could hit major centres in israel. if there is a ceasefire in gaza, the houthis will run down their campaign. you ceasefire in gaza, the houthis will run down their campaign.- run down their campaign. you are confident of _ run down their campaign. you are confident of that, _ run down their campaign. you are confident of that, are _ run down their campaign. you are

the supreme court in bangladesh has scrapped most of the quotas on governmentjobs, that have triggered widespread anti—government protests in which more than 110 people were killed. meanwhile, a nationwide curfew has been extended and the government has declared sunday and monday public holidays. security forces used live rounds, rubber bullets and tear—gas against protesters who defied the curfew and blocked roads our south asia regional editor, anbarasan ethirajan told me more about the background to the protests. now bangladesh had a system of about a third of governmentjobs reserved for the families of the veterans who fought in the country's independence war with pakistan in 1971. the government had earlier abolished the system in 2018 because of student protests at that time, but then a court reinstated this quota system last month. that was the trigger for the latest round of protest. now, why they are opposing because they say the system is discriminatory. there is a huge youth unemployment and they say the system only benefits the families of those

who are linked to prime minister sheikh hasina or the ruling party. sheikh hasina being the leader of the ruling party. that's the point. so they say that it is in the interests of the existing government to appoint these positions. now, what happens next, though, because this is really part of a wider context and concerns about the direction the government is taking. the government has to take a policy decision on how to implement this latest supreme court ruling. now, the supreme court has said that 93% will go on merit, which means basically removing the 30% by giving only 5% to the veterans of the war in 1971. but what has happened in the last one week is quite phenomenal, very, very unprecedented protest happening. it is not only students. the students started the protest and after several students were killed in clashes with police, that led to people from other walks of life, including political parties, joining these protests. and that's why you see people are on the streets despite a curfew,

despite the military being deployed on the streets of the capital, dhaka. in fact, even today, despite the curfew, there were protests, there were stone throwing incidents. what it has done, it has raised a big question mark on the legitimacy of the decisions taken by the government in the last one week, because what the protesters are accusing the government of, you know, using their student wing of the governing party to target them, as well as the police. so this is a momentous challenge for prime minister sheikh hasina at this point, even though the country has been growing economically for the past ten, 15 years. but what the youth have been saying is that that has not translated into jobs for us. and very briefly, 110 people we understand have been killed in the context of this. it is a very dramatic development. it is indeed a dramatic development. but the local media, they are reporting a much higher figure of casualties. residents on the spanish island of mallorca are set to protest today

against the impact of record levels of tourism. spain has seen a number of demonstrations across different cities in recent weeks, with locals arguing they're being priced out of housing and that visitor numbers are damaging the local culture and environment. our europe correspondent, nick beake, sent this report from majorca. british tourists are throwing themselves into their summer spanish getaways, escaping the weather back home. the beaches of magaluf packed with record numbers. tourism is powering the national economy as the good times roll. the same sand. but a very different experience. sonia and son luca can't find anywhere to live. she says many homes are bought up by foreign visitors or rented out to tourists at prices

she can't afford. it's hard to get up every morning and start looking for a flat. the prices are higher every day. i stop people in the street and ask if they have anything, because the day is approaching when i will have to leave the apartment. i see me and my son homeless soon because there is absolutely. nothing. as spain's tourist hotspots have grown and grown over the decades, the debate has raged as to weather the millions of visitors bring more problems than they do benefits. but this summer it feels like something has changed. there's this new level of anger, with many locals saying that they've had enough. in barcelona a fortnight ago, locals squirted visitors with water pistols, one of a number of recent protests across spain. get out of our streets was the chant.

we can see the port and we can see how some days are arriving, like 12,000 of people at the same time to the city. back in mallorca, local activist perezjoan is organising a demonstration this weekend. he wants a limit on visitor numbers and rejects the claim that tourism brings great wealth for the locals. this is a fake argument because we see, like the last years is arriving more tourists than ever, more money than ever. but this money where it goes, is going to the people or is going only to some economic powers. and this is what we are seeing. yay! the green family from rotherham hope they're boosting the local economy. boost it and make the money to what it is for this sort of place. it is, isn't it? so no i don't see people travel around world don't they. and that's what these places are for aren't they? tourism, economy and all the rest.

well, if no one turned up, - then there'd be no shops here. then no jobs will be. no wages will be no, no. so yeah. tourism has bounced back after covid, but record levels are creating new problems and provoking what could be an unprecedented backlash. nick beake, bbc news mallorca. with less than a week to go until the olympics kick off, athletes from the uk's team gb are heading to paris today. members of the athletics and rowing teams are making their way to the french capital on the eurostar from london this morning. chi chi izundu caught up with the athletes as they prepared to leave london all of the athletes are very excited. we waved off the rowing

hello there! it isa it is a little cloudy in some areas. but they should be some sunshine today. the best of the sunshine should be a northern part of the country. they should be some good weather around scotland and yorkshire. but even here the cows have been developing throughout the day. a gentle breeze is going out of the south—west. there may be some rain in that for this evening and overnight. elsewhere, they will be sending moments and cloudier moments. temperatures will be on the high teens, low 20s. the rain will

eventually end up in northern england and southern scotland. damp weather early in the morning across wales. colderair weather early in the morning across wales. colder air in the north of scotland. tomorrow, it is fairly cloudy and damp in parts of scotland. elsewhere, there will be for long spells of sunshine and occasional showers. quite brisk winds. if you're in the south or south—west, those wins could become gusty if you are close to the coast. temperatures around the low 20s. the low pressure and the weather front were moved to the east. this is what is called a ridge of high pressure. what we will typically find is fair whether clouds with just the odd shower on the edge, but it will be mostly be a fine day. temperatures may even reach 25 celsius on tuesday. the outlook, it looks as

though there will be high pressure becoming more dominant towards the end of the month. that usually means much warmer and drier weather. if you look at the forecast, beyond this coming weekend, you should be able to see those fair weather symbols and those temperatures starting to creep up. perhaps sign that the weather is settling down.
