with the israeli prime minister, but has informed the senate she will not preside over thatjoint session. in his first public address since the election emmanuel macron has called for a political truce, as paris prepares to open the olympic games. and on a not entirely disimilar theme, the conservative party is looking for someone to unify their party. the nominations to be leader open tomorrow. we'll take a look at the long list of hopefuls. perhaps it is a sign of how far democrats had slipped this past month that kamala harris opted for milwaukee as the city in which to launch her presidential campaign. wisconsin voted for bidin four years ago. sincejune polls suggest it is moving towards trump. but that was before the extraordinary events of the past 48 hours. in record time harris has secured the support of enough democratic delegates to become the party's nominee. she now has the endorsement of the two top democrats on capitol

hill, chuck schumer and hakeem jeffries. all the democratic governors, a0 democratic senators, and the former house speaker nancy pelosi. they have raised over $100 million in just two days nearly as much asjoe biden raised in the entirety ofjune. and what you hear, said one senior democratic aide, is a co—ordinated drumbeat — the sound of the party a campaign, says, harris a campaign, says, harris for a campaign, says, harris forthe a campaign, says, harris for the middle classes of america. [30 we middle classes of america. do we want to live in a country of freedom? compassion and rule of law? or a country of chaos, fear and hate? and here's the beauty of this moment. we each have the power to answer that question. the power is with the people. we each have the power to answer that question. and in the

next 105 days, then we have work to do. we have doors to knock on, we have phone calls to make, we have voters to register. and we have an election to win.— election to win. kamala harris kickin: election to win. kamala harris kicking off _ election to win. kamala harris kicking off her— election to win. kamala harris kicking off her campaign - election to win. kamala harris kicking off her campaign for. kicking off her campaign for president. join me this half hour to discuss it all, joining me this half hour to discuss it all. susan platt — former chief of staff to presidentjoe biden and angela rye, head of political advocacy firm impact strategies — formerly director of the congressional black caucus. welcome to you both, lovely to have you on the programme. let me start with you, angela. goodness, me, you could feel the excitement almost relief in wisconsin of a real energy, i think, relief in wisconsin of a real energy, ithink, to relief in wisconsin of a real energy, i think, to that first appearance. energy, i think, to that first appearance-— energy, i think, to that first appearance. energy, i think, to that first a- earance. . , " appearance. yeah, i definitely think that's true- — appearance. yeah, i definitely think that's true- i _ appearance. yeah, i definitely think that's true. i cannot _ appearance. yeah, i definitely think that's true. i cannot use _ appearance. yeah, i definitely think that's true. i cannot use a - appearance. yeah, i definitely think that's true. i cannot use a better. that's true. i cannot use a better word than relief. i was relieved when joe word than relief. i was relieved whenjoe biden announced that he thought it would be in the best

interest of the country, the party and for himself, frankly, to step aside and clear the way for conley harris. and i was relieved that he honoured his commitment to her that he made four years ago, right, to ensure that she would have the opportunity to carry on the legacy of the party and what would be best for the battle of the soul of the nation as he named his campaign in 2020. so to see him step aside and do it in such a marvellous way, i think some medsjoe biden's legacy is the type of leader he wants to be remembered by. there was a lot of pushback about who joe biden remembered by. there was a lot of pushback about whojoe biden was in the late 80s and early 90s. we heard it over and over again in 2020 and the fulfillment of what he wanted to become, the transformation you saw in real time, the ways in which he pushed back against police immunity when donald trump was touting immunity for police and of course for himself. i think demonstrates the kind of leadership he wants to be remembered by, and of course

there is the rest of this term to be fulfilled and he can continue on that legacy there. for kamala harris to say this is what i'm going to do, i'm absolutely going to secure this nomination, to raise the type of money she raised in a 12 hour, in a 24 money she raised in a 12 hour, in a 2a hour period from small donors was reminiscent of what so many of us felt in 2008 with president obama. i think the difference here is that then we could concentrate on hope and change in the optimism that came along with that ticket. now we've got to focus on winning a political war. this is not your run—of—the—mill campaign. this is a campaign notjust for the soul of campaign not just for the soul of america, campaign notjust for the soul of america, but it truly is a war for protecting and preserving the type of democracy that was enshrined in those documents that this country was founded upon that left so many of us... we was founded upon that left so many of us... ., ., .,, of us... no going back was the message _ of us... no going back was the message today. _ of us... no going back was the message today. susan, - of us. .. no going back was the message today. susan, i- of us... no going back was the message today. susan, i know of us... no going back was the - message today. susan, i know you formerly worked forjoe biden, but the split screen moment they are all of him on his way back from delaware having recovered from covid, and

what we saw there in wisconsin, it really does speak to that relief, i think, that angela is talking about, there is just a whole different feel around the campaign. that's no detriment tojoe biden, but she's younger, she's energised, it was a spirited first speech. we younger, she's energised, it was a spirited first speech.— younger, she's energised, it was a spirited first speech. no doubt, the last few weeks _ spirited first speech. no doubt, the last few weeks have _ spirited first speech. no doubt, the last few weeks have been - spirited first speech. no doubt, the i last few weeks have been tumultuous, to say— last few weeks have been tumultuous, to say the _ last few weeks have been tumultuous, to say the least, for everyone in our country. _ to say the least, for everyone in our country, and forjoe biden personally and for those of us who love him _ personally and for those of us who love him and care about him and have worked _ love him and care about him and have worked for— love him and care about him and have worked for him. but ijust got done watching _ worked for him. but ijust got done watching kamala harris give a barn—burner of a speech that i know that most— barn—burner of a speech that i know that most democrats believe in helping — that most democrats believe in helping the middle class, moving forward, — helping the middle class, moving forward, passing the torch, which joe biden— forward, passing the torch, which joe biden has so gracefully done. he is a transformational president and he will— is a transformational president and he will lay— is a transformational president and he will lay out for us tomorrow night, — he will lay out for us tomorrow night, which i can't wait to see him on what _ night, which i can't wait to see him on what he — night, which i can't wait to see him on what he intends to do to complete his term _ on what he intends to do to complete his term to— on what he intends to do to complete his term to pass the torch to conley

susan, clearly the republicans are going to come after her onjoe biden's record. they are going to try to attach or to his record and particularly his record on the border and immigration. particularly his record on the borderand immigration. how much does she need to plough her own pharaoh away from the president or would you advise that she stands alongside him on this campaign? wasn't that a wonderful moment where you see the care and the consideration that these two, joe biden and kamala harris have for each other and to talk about the way that donald trump and jd vance have gone after her personally, you talk about the issue of the border, there was a deal that was worked out with the white house— was a deal that was worked out with the white house where donald trump killed the deal. _ the white house where donald trump killed the deal, why? _ the white house where donald trump killed the deal, why? not _ the white house where donald trump killed the deal, why? not because - the white house where donald trump killed the deal, why? not because he| killed the deal, why? not because he wanted _ killed the deal, why? not because he wanted to— killed the deal, why? not because he wanted to solve a problem but because — wanted to solve a problem but because he wanted to campaign. it

the uk today. keir starmer has faced his first commons rebellion suspending several labour mps who voted against the government on the two child benefit gap. the bbc understands they are being removed from the party in parliament for a period of time, a source said, it's likely that will be months rather than permanently. the several labour mps rebelled to support the amendment to the king �*s speech according to the division list released on tuesday evening. they are john released on tuesday evening. they arejohn mcdonnell, ian buyer, rebecca long, rebecca long—bailey, i should say, imran hussain, apsana begum and zarah sultana. more than 40 begum and zarah sultana. more than a0 labour mps recorded no vote with some of those listed spotted in the chamber throughout the day while others would have had permission to miss the vote. the house of commons voted 363 to 103. that was a majority of 260. the cap was introduced in 2015 by that then conservative chancellor george

osborne. you are watching bbc news. on monday kimberley cheatle told a congressional committee she was still the best person to lead the secret service. this afternoon she resigned. bowing, almost inevitably, to the immense pressure she has been facing since the attempted assassination of donald trump. in her opening statement, cheatle acknowledged the agency had "failed". the secret service's solemn mission is to protect our nation's leaders. on july 13, we failed. as the director of the united states secret service, i take full responsibility for any security lapse of our agency. in one particularly damning moment, the director confessed that those protecting the former president had been alerted to a suspicious individual "somewhere between two and five times" before the gunman opened fire. there is still an ongoing investigation into what went wrong, but this particular exchange in the hearing reminded us how close they had come to disaster.

i have never had any long gun training in my life. i own an ar15, and the last time i shot it — i shot it one time my whole life — was six years ago. that is until saturday, where we recreated the events in savoy, texas _ we recreated what happened. i was lying prone on a sloped roof at 130 yards at 6:30pm at night, and i knew he had a scope, i didn't know what kind, red dot or magnify, so i shot eight rounds from both. you know what the result was? 15 out of 16 kill shots! and the one i missed would've hit the president's ear. that's a 9a% success rate, and that shooter was a better shot than me. it is a miracle president trump wasn't killed. bryce reeves, republican state senator in virginia joins me now. very good evening to you. thank you for coming on the programme. there had been bipartisan calls for kimberly cheadle to step down, your reaction to her resignation? welcome

the candidates are going to be and it looks like, you know, the democrats are going to choose kamala harris. but, you know, when you go to look at kamala harris, she... 10 million by this year, 10 million illegal entries into the united states, and you want to tell me she's doing a greatjob at that. do i think the president last of the end of your? no, i don't think so. i think if biden would take a step further, but the president to not only not to run for election from i would ask him to resign. if they were smart, they would make her president, because i guarantee you she is the one pulling the strings. i will be surprised to see it running. i will be surprised to see it running-— i will be surprised to see it runninu. �*, ., , ., ., ~ i will be surprised to see it runninu. �*, . , ., . ~' ., running. it's a pivotal week forjoe biden, running. it's a pivotal week forjoe biden. there _ running. it's a pivotal week forjoe biden, there is _ running. it's a pivotal week forjoe biden, there is no question - running. it's a pivotal week forjoe biden, there is no question about| biden, there is no question about that. his decision to stand down, then of course he needs benjamin netanyahu on thursday. he seems to be back at the white house, ready to

line for the republicans that kamala harris knew about the situation around the president, knew that he wasn't fit to carry the campaign, so why is he fit to stay in office? what we have just heard is just what we have just heard isjust reckless — what we have just heard isjust reckless talk, just reckless talk, conspiracy— reckless talk, just reckless talk, conspiracy theory, one after another _ conspiracy theory, one after another. yes, joe had a bad night, yes. _ another. yes, joe had a bad night, yes, he _ another. yes, joe had a bad night, yes, he was— another. yes, joe had a bad night, yes, he was sick at the debates, but you saw— yes, he was sick at the debates, but you saw him — yes, he was sick at the debates, but you saw him perform at his press conference — you saw him perform at his press conference after the nato summit, and i_ conference after the nato summit, and l have — conference after the nato summit, and i have challenged many people to be able _ and i have challenged many people to be able to— and i have challenged many people to be able to answer the questions on foreign _ be able to answer the questions on foreign policy in such detail and e>

the job if she discussed and why wouldn't she take thejob if she is running to be the commander—in—chief after november? let mejust do commander—in—chief after november? let me just do this first, it is hard for me to respect what somebody is saying when they cannot even pronounce her name correctly. it is kamala harris. and given the fact that she is the vice president of this country, he certainly should put some respect on her name. now, he went in talking about this, and i just have to do this because i know in some instances, somejournalists don't believe in fact checking. i believe in fact checking. i think it's important to report the news as it's important to report the news as it is. he talked about 10 million border crossings. he's inflated that number almost three times. at such event 2.a million border crossings. he also didn't recognise the fact that border crossings have decreased by 32% in june that border crossings have decreased by 32% injune in texas. so if she is the borders are, as he would like to name her, then that means that she's actually doing her work. now, whether or not, there's not been any conversation whatsoever aboutjoe

conversation whatsoever about joe biden stepping conversation whatsoever aboutjoe biden stepping down early. he's made his intentions clear to finish out his intentions clear to finish out his term. i think that's kamala harris does not need for that to happen. i think she can run a fair campaign and certainly as prosecutor in chief, as many of us who are responsible know that she will be able to fulfil that role with her for years. able to fulfil that role with her for ears. , able to fulfil that role with her for years-— able to fulfil that role with her for years. there is a lot there. senator reeves, _ for years. there is a lot there. senator reeves, how - for years. there is a lot there. senator reeves, how do - for years. there is a lot there. senator reeves, how do you l for years. there is a lot there. - senator reeves, how do you respond? they didn't answer your question. they didn't answer your question. the question was do they thinkjoe biden— the question was do they thinkjoe biden has— the question was do they thinkjoe biden has gotten impairments? | the question was do they thinkjoe biden has gotten impairments? i did answer the biden has gotten impairments? i c c answer the question! biden has gotten impairments? i c c answerthe question! i biden has gotten impairments? i c c answer the question! i did answer the question! that was not the question. the question was which she fulfil and finish his term? i answer that question, you just don't like the answer. that question, you 'ust don't like the ensew._ that question, you 'ust don't like the answer_ that question, you 'ust don't like the answer— that question, you 'ust don't like the answer. ., ., �* , the answer. hang on, let's get the senator's reaction. _ the answer. hang on, let's get the senator's reaction. let's, - the answer. hang on, let's get the senator's reaction. let's, let's - senator's reaction. let's, let's talk reality. — senator's reaction. let's, let's talk reality, let's _ senator's reaction. let's, let's talk reality, let's talk - senator's reaction. let's, let's talk reality, let's talk about i senator's reaction. let's, let's i talk reality, let's talk about what the world — talk reality, let's talk about what the world is today. if you look at israel— the world is today. if you look at israel and — the world is today. if you look at israel and everything has been happening in the democratic party since _ happening in the democratic party since we _ happening in the democratic party since we have had this, i don't know. —

where we had blue skies through much of the day. but these areas may not do quite so well in the next few days. there is more cloud coming in from the atlantic that will push its way steadily eastwards — maybe bring a little rain. ahead of that though, arriving, any showers that are formed across eastern areas won't last long at all, and the cloud will come and go a bit overnight. it should be dry overnight, the winds will be light, and those temperatures by the end of the night, typically 11 or 12 degrees. now there is more cloud coming in from the atlantic tomorrow. there will be some sunshine at times, could be a little bit hazy, mind you, and across some eastern areas we may well find one or two showers breaking out as well. but it's towards the west where we've got the cloud thickening in northern ireland, later westernmost parts of scotland, wales and the southwest, where we'll see damp weather moving in as well. and so for these areas in the west, temperatures are going to be a little bit lower on wednesday. further east, it will be warmer. could reach 26 degrees in the south east of england — depends how much sunshine there's going to be. but as we head into thursday,

it's cloudy skies that will dominate a tangle of weather fronts across the uk. rather messy sort of picture. cloudy skies, a bit of rain from time—to—time here and there, particularly in the west. there's a risk of some heavy rain pushing its way eastwards across southern parts of england, especially into the afternoon, but further north across eastern england and eastern scotland, they may well be dry, and temperatures here reaching the low 20s at best on thursday. things are a bit more straightforward by the end of the week, because these weather fronts are going to move away, taking rain away from overnight. the rain still not far away from the south east of england through much of friday, but otherwise we'll see some sunny spells. there will be a few showers breaking out, and these are most likely where the winds are a bit stronger in northern ireland

and across scotland — some of those showers could be a little on the sharp side. temperatures are back down to 18 degrees in glasgow, and a high of 23 celsius in the south east of england. but what of the weekend? well, saturday we'll see some sunshine. some showers for the northern half of the uk. should be drier though on sunday, and in some sunshine, maybe a bit warmer as well.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, is in washington — tomorrow he will address a joint session of the us congress, amid pressure to reach a ceasefire deal.

we will focus in on that visit very shortly but first let's get a look at the sport. here's gavin. the olympics in paris edge ever closer, but a blow for great britain, and one of their big medal hopes, charlotte dujardin, britain'sjoint most successful female olympian has been provisionally suspended for six months over a video which surfaced showing her making what she describes as an error ofjudgement. the dressage star pulled out of the games earlier, after the sport's governing body said they received footage showing the three—time olympic gold medallist "engaging in conduct contrary to the principles of horse welfare — of horse welfare" — during a training session conducted at ms durjardin's private stable. dujardin has said she will withdraw from all competition while an investigation takes place. staying with the olympics — andy murray has said his career will officially come to an end after the games. the three—time grand slam champion is planning to compete in the singles and doubles for team gb in paris, in what will

be his fifth games. posting on social media, the 37—year—old said "competing
