josh shapiro, andy beshear, roy cooper. we look at who kamala harris might pick as her running mate if she wins democratic nomination. but the rules and procedures around the democratic procedure in chicago. in the last few minutes we have had the rules defining the conservative party leadership here in the uk. let me bring you some of that you said we are told the conservative party will have a new leader confirmed to on the 2nd of november. rishi sunak will remain acting leader until then. the leadership contest will formally open on wednesday with nominations closing at the end of the month on monday the 29th of july. they will choose four candidates. those four candidates will make their case at the conservative party conference in the autumn. party members will vote on

the final two candidates as decided by the parliamentary party. so the conservative leadership campaign will run for about the duration of the campaign in the united states. onto the 2nd of november. two final candidates will be voted on as chosen by the parliamentary party. in the united states... very quickly kamala harris will be in need of a running mate. a surrogate who can campaign in the swing states where democrats are trailing in the polls. as yet, she hasn't said anything publicly about who she might be considering, but here are some of the top names democrats have floated. first among them the democratic governors — josh shapiro in pennsylvania, a key swing state, roy cooper in north carolina, andy beshear the governor in kentucky. in fact, i will show you a chart here that has beshear near the top as the most popular governor in america, three times elected in a republican state. here's a different list

of the others to the one i gave you in the last hour. what about this man, senator raphael warnock in georgia? proven winner in a republican state. very popular in atlanta. jb pritzker, governor of illinois, was an active biden surrogate. he founded a non—profit committee, think big america, to advocate for abortion rights and to combat extremism in battleground states. and this man wes moore, a rhodes scholar, combat veteran and won in a gallop two years ago, only the third elected black governor ever. it is a deep bench. let's do what we did in the last hour. quickfire answers, please. who are you picking? i thinkjosh shapiro would be the best pick because it's pennsylvania, 19 electoral votes and it is the i9 electoral votes and it is the opposite of kamala harris. briefly, you either doubled down in this case, pick anotherwomen, or

case, pick another women, or pick the opposite of yourself. clinton and gore doubled down, to southern males, everyone else since has been the opposite. since we have never elected a woman president, let alone a woman of colour, i think may be picking someone who could bring a key swing state with you in a very close race would make a big difference. in close race would make a big difference.— close race would make a big difference. ., , ., difference. in our straw poll, josh shairo is difference. in our straw poll, josh shapiro is somewhere _ difference. in our straw poll, josh shapiro is somewhere near - difference. in our straw poll, josh shapiro is somewhere near the i difference. in our straw poll, josh l shapiro is somewhere near the top. doctor schenck off you've worked on dozens of campaigns, if you were advising the candidate, who would you advise that she picks.- you advise that she picks. senator kell of you advise that she picks. senator kelly of arizona. _ you advise that she picks. senator kelly of arizona. a _ you advise that she picks. senator kelly of arizona. a white - you advise that she picks. senator kelly of arizona. a white catholic. kelly of arizona. a white catholic men _ kelly of arizona. a white catholic men that — kelly of arizona. a white catholic men that can appeal to swing states that people keep talking about. pennsylvania, heavily catholic, michigan, _ pennsylvania, heavily catholic, michigan, heavily catholic, blue—collar white men. he michigan, heavily catholic, blue-collar white men. he is a hero. 25 ears blue-collar white men. he is a hero. 25 years and — blue-collar white men. he is a hero. 25 years and that _ blue-collar white men. he is a hero. 25 years and that may _ blue-collar white men. he is a hero. 25 years and that may be, _ 25 years and that may be, flew combat missions, and space, has the right profile. combat missions, and space, has the right profile-— right profile. very important on gun control and — right profile. very important on gun control and guns _ right profile. very important on gun control and guns in _ right profile. very important on gun control and guns in the _ right profile. very important on gun control and guns in the hands - right profile. very important on gun control and guns in the hands of. control and guns in the hands of crazy— control and guns in the hands of crazy people. he would be perfect.

we could have interesting conversations about immigration and the border because you are in arizona inching closer towards conversations with latinos especially. as far as cooper and beshear, especially with kentucky, i'm not sure, he's done a greatjob there, but i'm not sure what he brings to the full ticket. schapiro, could be an interesting choice except for the fact, let's be clear, the rampant anti—semitism we have seenin the rampant anti—semitism we have seen in the past few months last year. 50 seen in the past few months last ear. , ., , year. so interesting, it always comes back — year. so interesting, it always comes back to _ year. so interesting, it always comes back to the _ year. so interesting, it always comes back to the politics. i year. so interesting, it always i comes back to the politics. they year. so interesting, it always - comes back to the politics. they all bring something and they all come with problems in other ways. i want to talk about the campaign she could run because there is a campaign added that she ran in 2020 which is gone viral again today. let me show you a clip of that and you will see why it may still be relevant. do we

haveit? sick of this? well, think about this. he's a world leader... in temper tantrums. she never loses her cool. she prosecuted sex predators. he is one. grab them by the bleep. david since you are a speech writer, every candidate has to have a rationale. if you were going to write a speech for this candidate, what sort of candidate would you want her to be? i what sort of candidate would you want her to be?— want her to be? i think this campaign _ want her to be? i think this campaign has _ want her to be? i think this campaign has completely l want her to be? i think this - campaign has completely changed want her to be? i think this _ campaign has completely changed and the central framing of this campaign has changed in a way that is good for democrats. the trump campaign had a contrast they were driving. they wanted it to be about strength versus weakness. i think it is now in a campaign about turning the page versus more of maga. ultimately, we

talked earlier on the programme about how the democrats are a fractured coalition. that is true, but the anti—maca coalition, the coalition people who say trump is too extreme, to crazy, too out there, i'm really afraid of what happens if he takes over is larger, more than enough to get you over the hump, notjust in the popular vote but in the electoral votes as well. —— anti—maga. harris has to frame a contrast that makes us about trump and about maga. he saw this in the ad and you'll see it in her coming events and, if this is a referendum on trump and whether we want trump and advanced to lead this country and advanced to lead this country and perhaps and our democracy, then i think harris will be in the driver's seat. —— trump and vance. they will try to painter as a practical left—winger but that's actually what she is. if you get the attorney general, the former attorney general, the former attorney general, the former attorney general from california attorney general, the former attorney generalfrom california he used to throw a quite a lot of elbow, she actually did turn off some of her own base because she was

a lot more to the centre than some of her own constituents may have wanted. what sort of candidate would you want her to be? her wanted. what sort of candidate would you want her to be?— you want her to be? her resume is so extraordinary. — you want her to be? her resume is so extraordinary, being _ you want her to be? her resume is so extraordinary, being quite _ you want her to be? her resume is so extraordinary, being quite clear - extraordinary, being quite clear about— extraordinary, being quite clear about her— extraordinary, being quite clear about her running the second largest prosecutorial office in the country, which _ prosecutorial office in the country, which is _ prosecutorial office in the country, which is the — prosecutorial office in the country, which is the california attorney generals — which is the california attorney generals office, about what she has done there — generals office, about what she has done there to protect people is important because right now, americans are panicked about my grades. _ americans are panicked about my grades, somewhat panicked about crime _ grades, somewhat panicked about crime and — grades, somewhat panicked about crime and disorder. when you have disorder— crime and disorder. when you have disorder as— crime and disorder. when you have disorder as part of discussion, that out to— disorder as part of discussion, that out to party— disorder as part of discussion, that out to party tends to win. so she somehow— out to party tends to win. so she somehow has to make people believe, very quickly, that those skills and talents— very quickly, that those skills and talents she brings can create order and, _ talents she brings can create order and, frankly, she can be the commander—in—chief which is the real tasks _ commander—in—chief which is the real tasks she _ commander—in—chief which is the real tasks she faced in a world that is as close — tasks she faced in a world that is as close to— tasks she faced in a world that is as close to a world were as it has been _ as close to a world were as it has been since — as close to a world were as it has been since the cuban missile crisis. she played — been since the cuban missile crisis. she played the prosecutor versus the felon? .. �* . she played the prosecutor versus the felon? .. v .. she played the prosecutor versus the felon? ., �*, ., ., ., ., �*

get another hearing on this? i more sympathetic character. that she get another hearing on this?- get another hearing on this? i think she lets get another hearing on this? i think she gets another _ get another hearing on this? i think she gets another hearing. - get another hearing on this? i think she gets another hearing. it - get another hearing on this? i think she gets another hearing. it will. she gets another hearing. it will depend on the individuals. i also think this is a moment where, with a bite and in dire straits in the polling, it focused people's energy on what a trump presidency would mean both in this country, but also for those who care about the middle east and for those of us who care about the palestinian people on the plight of the palestinians. in the first to this got overlooked because trump seems a bit more vigorous i suppose they invited. let trump seems a bit more vigorous i suppose they invited.— suppose they invited. let me interru -t suppose they invited. let me interrupt for _ suppose they invited. let me interrupt for a _ suppose they invited. let me interrupt for a second - suppose they invited. let me | interrupt for a second because suppose they invited. let me - interrupt for a second because these are live pictures of the campaign. shejust are live pictures of the campaign. she just arrived at campaign headquarters and there has been a round of applause. we will play these pictures, just pick up that point you were making, apologies. not at all. i think it is important to see. these are people who worked there heart out forjoe biden and are now really fired up for calmly harris. that is not reflected

immediately in polling but it matters. to go back to what i was saying, donald trump use the word palestinian as an insult atjoe biden during the debate. if trump wins, the situation in the middle eastis wins, the situation in the middle east is going to go out of control even more than it already is. i think he would have to be smoking something to think trump has any empathy for the palestinian people. so yes, harris will get something of a chance to define her own view on that. she will also be able to say, i will let the president handled the foreign policy issues and may be able to duck some important questions. we may see some of cease—fire agreement but the biggest thing is the contras now between trump and harris is a fairly strong —— at the contrast, down on foreign policy and on this issue in particular. policy and on this issue in particular-— policy and on this issue in particular. we'll turn these -ictures particular. we'll turn these pictures around _ particular. we'll turn these pictures around going - particular. we'll turn these pictures around going into | particular. we'll turn these i pictures around going into the campaign office in wilmington. it's the reason we are talking about strategy because clearly this 24—48

in the last few minutes we have seen calmly harris arrived at the campaign hq in wilmington, delaware. this was the moment she came into the building ——,. you can see there was applause.

applause. not much comment from her yet on the campaign. still waiting to hear her first campaign speech. the white house speech today was more in tribute to joe house speech today was more in tribute tojoe biden and his legacy. while most of the media focus today has been on kamala harris, it wasn't sufficient to save the blushes of secret service director kimberly cheatle, who was appearing for the first time before the house oversight committee to explain the security lapses that led to the attempted assassination of former president donald trump. ms cheatle did accept her role in those failures, but at certain points, she attempted to sidestep several of the key questions in her testimony.

that visibly frustrated republican members of the panel. because donald trump is alive, and thank god he is, you look incompetent. if donald trump had been killed, you would have looked culpable. not only should you resign, if you refuse to do so, president biden needs to fire you, because his life, donald trump's life and all the other people which you protect are at risk because you have no concept of the aspect that the security footprint needs to be correlated to the threat. but on truth social, most of donald trump's frustration has been aimed since yesterday at kamala harris. whatever republicans might tell us, make no mistake they would prefer to be running againstjoe biden. they have invested time and money highlighting joe biden's age and his performance, a strategy that could yet boomerang on a candidate who himself is 79 and who sometimes has his own problems finishing his thoughts. tonight, though, trump's running mate, jd vance, campaigning in middletown, ohio where he grew up,

began to zero in on a line of attack the republicans will continue to pursue. when i think about kamala harris, who i guess is our vice presidential candidate officially, but i guess she's going to run for president now becausejoe biden dropped out of the race. booing. when i see her give a speech and she talks about the history of this country not with appreciation but with condemnation... and, look, of course every country, just like every family — certainly mine — has its pockmarks, right? not everything is perfect and it's never going to be, but if you want to lead this country, you should feel grateful for it. you should feel a sense of gratitude, and i never hear that gratitude come through when i listen to kamala harris. we only have a couple of minutes left, a quick answer there, what you hear when you listen to that. i left, a quick answer there, what you hear when you listen to that.- hear when you listen to that. i hear

you will have an opening ceremony which is unique. because it's once you can have the olympic games, but it is once that we will have such an opening ceremony not in the stadium but on the seine river, but i can tell you at the very beginning it seemed to be a crazy and not very serious idea. but we decided that it was the right moment to deliver this crazy idea and to make it real. lebronjames has been chosen to be the united states' male flagbearer at that opening ceremony on the seine on friday. he becomes the third basketball player, and the first men's player, to carry the us flag at the start of an olympics. lebron is set to participate in his fourth games, having won bronze in his first appearance in 2004 back in athens and back—to—back gold medals in 2008 and 2012. paralympics gb announced

the cycling squad for the games in paris earlier today. 17 riders have been selected for the event at the end of august, including six debutants, all given the task of following on from gb�*s most successful games in tokyo. every member of the team won a medal, with 2a medals won in total. four—time paralympic champion kadeena cox is included, along with dame sarah storey, who will compete in a ninth games. the idea of being able to pull paralympics gb kit again, i'm just so thrilled. it's a "pinch me" moment. it's a dream i didn't know i had as a kid. but it's been such a huge motivation since lockdown games to get to paris and be able to have the spectators again. it feels almost like a home games again. to football, where defending champions chelsea get their women's super league title defence under way at home against aston villa on the opening weekend. the blues will be looking to win a sixth consecutive wsl title, although they will have a new head coach at the helm in sonia bompastor after emma hayes departed to take

the united states job at the end of last season. the other standout fixture of the opening weekend sees arsenal host manchester city at the emirates. a bit of transfer news to bring you — aston villa have completed the signing of everton midfielder amadou onana. the belgium midfielder, who featured in all four of their matches at euro 2024, joins in a deal worth £50 million. onana joined everton in 2022 and made 72 appearances for the toffees. bournemouth owner bill foley has told the bbc he wouldn't support any plan to play premier league games outside england, with fifa considering the potential impact of competitive domestic matches taking place overseas. the premier league has previously said it had no plans to get involved, but spain's la liga is hopeful of staging games in the united states in the season after next. i'm very respectful of our fans, very respectful of our whole system and the premier league. i wouldn't want to be involved. i believe if you talk to ourfans in bournemouth,

they'll tell you that foley actually respects our system and respects our heritage. and i do. premier league games in america, preseason. mark cavendish has confirmed he has taken part at his last tour de france. the brit broke the record for most stage wins on this year's tour with his 35th, but says that completing the race one last time was the most fulfilling aspect ahead of his expected retirement later this year. just to finish the tour de france, that was a challenge in itself. i didn't need to. there was no sprint in paris at the end. it was just more for pride for getting through arguably the hardest sporting event in the world and a race that has given me everything i have in my career. so to show the race the respect it deserves was pretty important. meanwhile, perhaps it's no surprise that tour de france winner tadej pogacar has pulled out of the paris olympics, citing "tiredness", after winning the yellowjersey for the third time. slovenian olympic cycling coach uros murn said the rider has

"cancelled his participation because of a state of extreme fatigue". and that's all the sport for now. good evening. despite the cloudy, damp and drizzly weather through this morning, it's been quite a humid day and certainly felt that when the sunshine came out for some during the afternoon. good news is, though, maybe not as humid over the next two days, but a bit more sunshine around. just a few isolated showers, many will stay dry. some of the damp conditions will be tonight. in fact, another weather system pushing in outbreaks of rain south and northern ireland that will slide its way southwards into central southern parts of england and wales. the heavy evening showers across scotland and northern england will depart as well. so clearer conditions here, but temperatures still sticking in double figures for many. quite a muggy night in the south. temperatures no lower, around 1a to 17 degrees, where it will be cloudiest in the morning. few heavier downpours

for the morning commute in the south east of england, maybe london area too, before gradually brightening up. sunny spells developing quite widely elsewhere. there will be some isolated afternoon showers, fairly light, many places avoiding them. best of the sunshine around the coast, especially in the west, that sunshine turning hazy later on and 19 to 2a degrees on par for this stage in the year and feeling very pleasant in the sunshine too. into tuesday night and wednesday morning, a bit more clouds starts to roll its way in from the west. that will stop temperatures from dropping too much, but overall, compared to the night coming, it will be a fresher night to take us into wednesday morning, but not chilly by any means. we'll be a bit more cloud though, to start wednesday across the country, particularly in the west, it could bring a few heavier showers in the west of scotland, one or two showers elsewhere. best of the driest weather despite the odd isolated shower, central and eastern parts. and we're back to warmer and humid, more humid conditions once again. but we've got more cloud and a better chance of rain as we go through into thursday. weather systems pushing their way in. driest and brightest for longest

across many eastern areas on thursday. even here, though, one or two heavier showers can't be ruled out, but greater chance of rain will be in the west and some longer spells of rain it looks like, will be into wales and the southwest of england later in the day. temperatures lowest for the week, and as we go through thursday night those outbreaks of rain will push their way eastwards, heaviest across the south. but it puts us into friday with a story of sunny spells again and just one or two showers. showers, most prevalent to the north and the west of the uk. most will have a reasonably pleasant afternoon and again feeling quite warm in the sunshine. 18 to 2a the high. saturday sees some showers through central parts, but overall through the weekend into the start of next week many dry, sunny and warm.

tonight at ten, live from washington.... after president biden quits the race, his vice president, kamala harris, speaks at the white house. he's backed her to replace him as the party's presidential candidate. today, she paid tribute to his record in office.

joe biden's legacy of accomplishment over the past three years is unmatched in modern history. but what do voters in the key swing states think of kamala harris�*s bid to be president? i truly think that trump is the better choice. just for the economy and how things are run. i think it would be nice to have a woman in office. we'll be looking at who she is and what voters make of her. and the other main stories on tonight's programme... the race to replace rishi sunak as conservative leader will start on wednesday, the tories announce. four members of one family die in a car crash, along with two motorcyclists, on a country road in west yorkshire. in bangladesh, after a violent crackdown on student demonstrators, there's a pause in the protests, but tensions remain.
