yesterday, she described the attack as the secret service's most significant operational failure in decades. president biden says he plans to appoint a new secret service director soon. he hasjust put out a statement thanking kimberly cheatle for her years of service and going on to say the independent review to get to the bottom of what happened onjuly 13 continues and he looks forward to assessing its conclusions. those are the pictures from capitol hill yesterday, and that was a quite extraordinary session of democrats, republicans, putting in question after question to kimberly cheatle and getting real anger and frustration at some of the answers, the gaps, the obfuscation, and sometimes simply not accepting what she was saying and demanding she resigned. less than 2a hours later that exactly is what has happened. that news breaking that she now intends to resign. just a short

while ago i spoke to our correspondent in washington, nomia iqbal, and asked if his resignation was inevitable after what we saw yesterday. it was inevitable after what we saw esterda . . , was inevitable after what we saw esterda . ., , ,., was inevitable after what we saw esterda . yesterday. it was so combative, can cheatle was — yesterday. it was so combative, can cheatle was accused _ yesterday. it was so combative, can cheatle was accused by _ yesterday. it was so combative, can cheatle was accused by the - yesterday. it was so combative, can i cheatle was accused by the committee of stowe mother, and remember, —— accused of stonewalling, and remember the calls for her to go were bipartisan, sing bipartisanship on the hill is rare, but she said constantly when she was hold on to resign that she was the best person for the job, resign that she was the best person for thejob, that resign that she was the best person for the job, that the resign that she was the best person for thejob, that the investigation was still under way into what happened at donald trump's rally. and once that was happening she would not stand down. but i was saying yesterday while we were covering it on air that her position was becoming increasingly untenable. for the last nine or, nine days before she appeared at the hearing,

there were constant calls for her to step down. at the republican national convention, which we attended last week, she was there and she was confronted very angrily by many republicans who were demanding to know what happened, why did the secret service not deliver? why did they fail to protect the former president donald trump. and she kept saying that she would not be resigning and that she was coming to this hearing to explain herself, but it was always going to be a very hostile hearing, which it was. there were always calls for her to resign which weren't going to go away. and in the end, it appears, just to confirm... this is what our partner station cps is partner station cbs is saying, that she does plan to step down from her position as director of the us secret service. let's get more reaction from a

former secret service agent, welcome to the programme, your reaction to that news coming out of the programme? i was iwasa i was a little surprised, i thought she would — i was a little surprised, i thought she would try to stay on, she did go through— she would try to stay on, she did go through a _ she would try to stay on, she did go through a lot at the congressional hearings, — through a lot at the congressional hearings, from both sides of the aisle~ _ hearings, from both sides of the aisle~ i_ hearings, from both sides of the aisle. i knew congress was very upset, — aisle. i knew congress was very upset, not _ aisle. i knew congress was very upset, not getting answers right away~ _ upset, not getting answers right away~ in — upset, not getting answers right away. in her defence i would say there's_ away. in her defence i would say there's only so much she could say right— there's only so much she could say right now_ there's only so much she could say right now because there is a fullscope investigation going on. you have — fullscope investigation going on. you have the fbi looking into it and many— you have the fbi looking into it and many other— you have the fbi looking into it and many other agencies, just to try to piece _ many other agencies, just to try to piece together what exactly happened and where we may have failed. she did admit— and where we may have failed. she did admit that the secret service did admit that the secret service did fail_ did admit that the secret service did fail catastrophically. but we want _ did fail catastrophically. but we want to— did fail catastrophically. but we want to see the elements of what brought— want to see the elements of what brought it — want to see the elements of what brought it to this failure. i will say, _ brought it to this failure. i will say, though, as i've always said since _ say, though, as i've always said since day— say, though, as i've always said since day one, that those agents, officers _ since day one, that those agents, officers and technicians that did jump— officers and technicians that did jump oh— officers and technicians that did jump on the president and get him out of— jump on the president and get him out of there certainly did everything they were supposed to do. sure~ _ everything they were supposed to do. sure~ and _ everything they were supposed to do. sure~ and i_ everything they were supposed to do. sure. and i think across the board, there has been a lot of acceptance

of that, the critical questions aren't to do with that. they're about how this whole area was secured or not secured, everything that run up to those moments when shots were fired. in terms of the evidence that you heard yesterday, but seemed to frustrate so many lawmakers was, so many days on, not having basic answers to basic questions. having basic answers to basic questions-— having basic answers to basic cuestions. ., . , ., ., ., questions. yeah. there's a lot of questions. _ questions. yeah. there's a lot of questions. and _ questions. yeah. there's a lot of questions, and i _ questions. yeah. there's a lot of questions, and i am _ questions. yeah. there's a lot of questions, and i am sure - questions. yeah. there's a lot of questions, and i am sure even i questions. yeah. there's a lot of - questions, and i am sure even people in the _ questions, and i am sure even people in the secret— questions, and i am sure even people in the secret service are wanting the answers as well. so it's going to remain — the answers as well. so it's going to remain a — the answers as well. so it's going to remain a mystery, and was like a plane _ to remain a mystery, and was like a plane crash, — to remain a mystery, and was like a plane crash, we want answers right away, _ plane crash, we want answers right away, we _ plane crash, we want answers right away, we are just not going to get solid. _ away, we are just not going to get solid, concrete, factual answers uhtit _ solid, concrete, factual answers until the — solid, concrete, factual answers until the investigation comes to a close _ until the investigation comes to a close and — until the investigation comes to a close and we uncover more. for instance. — close and we uncover more. for instance, now we are learning there was explosives involved. that's something we didn't knowjust a few days ago _ something we didn't knowjust a few days ago. so this is really snowballing into something we didn't really imagine originally. so we're

joe biden announced he was pulling out of the presidential race — but kamala harris�* campaign for the white house is building momentum. he's released a statement in the last little while about the resignation of the director of the secret service, saying he is looking forwards to the report. yesterday kamala harris announced that she had enough support to secure the democratic party's presidential nomination. today, she'll be in the critical swing state of wisconsin — making her case to be commander—in—chief directly to voters for the first time. ms harris has already been clear about her agenda. yesterday evening, she visited what had beenjoe biden's re—election campaign headquarters in delaware, to rally the staff who will now be working for her. her message there — that she'll continue to push for gun control and protection for reproductive rights. there is some of the things she said only yesterday.

the last woman to go up against donald trump in the race for the white house was hillary clinton in 2016. she shared this image on monday, calling kamala harris a �*brilliant prosecutor�* who will make the case against quote �*convicted felon donald trump'. that's what hillary clinton posted. let's speak live to antjuan seawright — a former adviser to hillary clinton's presidental campaigns in 2008 and 2016. now, a founder at political consultancy blueprint strategy. welcome to our programme. what do you make of the world end of the last a8 hours? —— whirlwind. you make of the world end of the last 48 hours? -- whirlwind. last ab hours? -- whirlwind. there is no last 48 hours? -- whirlwind. there is no shortage _ last 48 hours? -- whirlwind. there is no shortage of— last 48 hours? -- whirlwind. there is no shortage of news. _ last 48 hours? -- whirlwind. there is no shortage of news. it's - last 48 hours? -- whirlwind. there is no shortage of news. it's been . is no shortage of news. it's been bittersweet because certainlyjoe bittersweet because certainly joe biden bittersweet because certainlyjoe biden will go down as one of the most effective and successful president in most of our lifetimes, when you think about what he was able to accomplish from a legislative standpoint. perhaps the most accomplished president we've ever seen. most accomplished president we've everseen. most most accomplished president we've ever seen. most of the things he was

able to do, many presidents were not able to do, many presidents were not able to do in eight years. and under the circumstances of having the slimmest majorities in our nation's history, he did this country well and there's not a person in this country has not benefit from the bite on harris administration whether they see it or not. the most important thing he did was pick a political dance partner who could be ready on day one to lead this country and unify the party, and i think unify all communities under this 200 plus year experiment we call america. what we have seen so far... �* , , ., ., far... here's the thing, you rode throu~h far... here's the thing, you rode through multiple _ far... here's the thing, you rode through multiple points, - far... here's the thing, you rode through multiple points, and - far... here's the thing, you rode through multiple points, and of| through multiple points, and of course all of the supporters of donald trump will quibble and argue with a lot of what you said in the middle that answer, about the nationwide support. but let me ask you about your experience with hillary clinton. if you had to give advice to kamala harris about how you would take on donald trump, what would the advice be? be you would take on donald trump, what would the advice be?— would the advice be? be very direct and make your _ would the advice be? be very direct and make your case _

would the advice be? be very direct and make your case very _ would the advice be? be very direct and make your case very direct - and make your case very direct to the american people. make this up policy conversation instead of a personality conversation. kamala harris, vice president of the united states, is 59 years old, is running against, the person on the other side of this argument, if you will, is the oldest candidate in american history, first time ever convicted felon, who we know is on cognitive decline if you will, based at some of the things we've seen, he will ramble and scramble about, i think we have to make that case. it's the prosecutor versus the prosecuted. the prosecutor versus the convicted felon. i think there is substance to that. but also, she should own and be proud of the record. she stood next to president biden on for 3.5 years, versus the four years of the trump presidency, and what he was able to do to divide this country. jd vance has already gone off to her own exactly that line. but the flip argument, that she is responsible for all of the things they've

attacked joe biden on, in terms of the campaign aimed at kamala harris from the republicans, what do you anticipate? i from the republicans, what do you antici ate? ~ , ., anticipate? i think they will throw everything. _ anticipate? i think they will throw everything, including _ anticipate? i think they will throw everything, including the - anticipate? i think they will throw everything, including the kitchen| everything, including the kitchen sink, at her. we will see racism, bigotry, misogyny, we will see all the things we saw on the 2016 race plus some more. the good news is, when you think about donald trump andjd vance's when you think about donald trump and jd vance's project 2025, there is a real policy discussion in contrast to be made in this campaign, the same way as it was in 2016. the difference between 2016 and under 2a is we see democrats united in such a way that many of us have not seen since the early stages of the 2008 campaign, when we had a historical candidacy and excitement under barack obama, who went on to be the president of the united states. , �* ., , states. they weren't united last week. states. they weren't united last week- but _ states. they weren't united last week. but events _ states. they weren't united last week. but events have - states. they weren't united last week. but events have changed| states. they weren't united last i week. but events have changed so markedly since sunday. in terms of what's at stake in this election, let me read out what ohio's state

senator said at the jd let me read out what ohio's state senator said at thejd vance rally only the other day, saying, i'm afraid if we lose this one, it's going to take a civil war to save our country. in terms of rhetoric like that, how worrying is it to hear something like that? we know that the dangers, _ hear something like that? we know that the dangers, violent _ hear something like that? we know that the dangers, violent political. that the dangers, violent political rhetoric from the extremist, maga extremist on the other side have this led to so many things that have happened in america that we should not have the winter even talk about because it should not have happened. we hear from the other side, because it should not have happened. we hearfrom the other side, tone down the rhetoric, turn down the rhetoric but the leader of the republican party donald trump and other disciples of trump and trump is continue to ramp up their extremist rhetoric, which has been dangerous in many ways, and we saw the proof in the pudding if you will onjanuary the proof in the pudding if you will on january the 6th. so the proof in the pudding if you will onjanuary the 6th. so words matter and i think we need to be held accountable for their words. —— they

sunday's announcement. butjoe biden saying he will address the nation on wednesday about that exit from the election. we haven't seen him, of course, even a picture of him, since sunday. but word being put out that joe biden will address the nation at some point on wednesday after that election exit. around the world and across the uk you're watching bbc news.

you're watching bbc news. the world health organization is warning it is extremely worried about a possible polio outbreak in gaza. its regional head says many people are living in shelters with one toilet for 600 people and they lack access to safe drinking water. traces of polio were found in sewage collected from two sites in gaza a month ago. the israeli military said a month ago they had begun vaccinating its soldiers.

global polio eradication initiative will deploy, and we are assessing what the feasible options are to deliver the vaccine to as many children as fast as possible. if deliver the vaccine to as many children as fast as possible. if you cannot do a _ children as fast as possible. if you cannot do a lot _ children as fast as possible. if you cannot do a lot for _ children as fast as possible. if you cannot do a lot for the _ children as fast as possible. if you cannot do a lot for the majority i children as fast as possible. if you cannot do a lot for the majority of| cannot do a lot for the majority of those things, what is the potential here in times of danger?— here in times of danger? first, potential. _ here in times of danger? first, potential. of— here in times of danger? first, potential, of course, _ here in times of danger? first, potential, of course, for i here in times of danger? first, i potential, of course, for children right now, we have not detected, a paralyti case has not been reported but if this virus continues to circulate and vaccination rates have declined because of the decimation of the health system, less than half of the health system, less than half of health clinics and health centres that offer vaccines are no longer functioning, we will, and immunisation rates are declining, we will see paralysis in children, and further spread beyond gaza into the region, as i mentioned. and more children paralysed. so this outbreak has to be stopped immediately. in

has to be stopped immediately. in terms of the timeline, the window of opportunity, what would you describe, how long does the world have to react to this to stop some of those eventualities? so have to react to this to stop some of those eventualities? 50 i have to react to this to stop some of those eventualities?— of those eventualities? so i think we need to _ of those eventualities? so i think we need to deploy _ of those eventualities? so i think we need to deploy the _ of those eventualities? so i think we need to deploy the vaccine i of those eventualities? so i think i we need to deploy the vaccine within the next couple of weeks, and ideally, we would have a ceasefire that would allow us to reach all the children in gaza underfive years that would allow us to reach all the children in gaza under five years of age. and we will need to repeat that at least three times to be sure that we can stop this outbreak. and if ceasefire be obtained, we have experience in the polio eradication programme of days of tranquillity, so that there was a cessation of hostilities during the days that children were being vaccinated against polio. brute children were being vaccinated against polio-— children were being vaccinated against polio. children were being vaccinated auainst olio. . ., ., . against polio. we have to leave it there but an _ against polio. we have to leave it there but an important _ against polio. we have to leave it there but an important story i against polio. we have to leave it there but an important story so i | against polio. we have to leave it i there but an important story so i am glad you have been able to take time to speak to us here on bbc news. thank you. to speak to us here on bbc news. thank yon-— let's turn to breaking news here in

see it on the screen, the director of the us secret service, kimberly cheatle, resigning after that attempted assassination attempt of donald trump, and of course those are the pictures from yesterday'ssession on capitol hill, these are the pictures from that, it was such an extraordinary session, going on for hours, with democrats and republicans throwing questions and republicans throwing questions and we'll frustration and anger at so many of the responses they got from the director with many calls for her to resign, and that's exactly what has happened. less than 2a hours later. more reaction there on the website, on the bbc app, i'm backin on the website, on the bbc app, i'm back in a moment. hello, there. we are seeing some warm sunshine today, particularly across northern ireland, western scotland and around some coastal areas as well. if we look further out to sea, though, looming large on the earlier satellite picture, this area of cloud here, which will head our way for tomorrow, so there may not be quite as much sunshine.

but ahead of that we have this nose of high—pressure extending from the azores, meaning most places will be fine and dry. earlier on today we did have a lot of cloud across south—eastern parts of england, giving some showers as well, but those have gone and as it brightens up here, it is getting warmer. we could reach 22 or 23 through the midlands, and a pleasant 22 in the central belt of scotland. could be one or two showers around, though, even by late afternoon, particularly over the pennines. those will tend to fade away during the evening, and overnight i suspect it will be dry, cloud coming and going, probably more cloud coming into western areas later on in the night. and these are the temperatures first thing on wednesday morning. so we're starting at 11 or 12. and there will be some sunshine at times on wednesday. it could be quite hazy, mind you. as we bubble up the cloud, there's the risk of one or two showers for eastern parts of england. out to the west, though, that cloud will thicken to bring a little light rain or drizzle to northern ireland and perhaps the western side of scotland, wales and the south—west. so these areas will be a little cooler than today but towards the east and south—east

in particular, those temperatures are likely to reach 25, maybe even 26, depending on the amount of sunshine. then as we head into thursday, it gets a little bit messy. we've got this tangle of weather fronts coming our way. nothing particularly well organised. the showery bursts of rain now and again, and a lot of cloud around. maybe later in the day it's western and southern areas that will turn a little wetter. but as you head into the eastern side of england and eastern scotland, it may be drier here and those temperatures will be into the low 20s on thursday. things simplify themselves by the time we get into friday, because that weather front will be moving away. it's going to be clearing away eventually from south—eastern parts of england but rain is not too far away from here for much of the day. otherwise, there will be some decent spells of sunshine but where we have stronger winds in the north—west, this is where we will see a few showers coming into northern ireland, northern and western scotland. temperatures back to 18 in the central belt, and 22 or 23 in the south—east.
