kamala harris has addressed voters in the swing state of wisconsin at her first campaign rally since emerging as the presumptive democratic us presidential nominee. greeted by chants of �*kamala' she paid tribute tojoe biden, who ended his bid for re—election on sunday. she swiftly attacked donald trump and said she would proudly put her record against his any day of the week. the director of the us secret service has resigned after accepting responsibility for the attempted assassination of donald trump. yesterday kimberly cheatle faced withering criticism from congressional committee, with several representatives demanding she leave her post. ms cheatle had to admit that the shooting was the secret service's worst failure in over a0 years. the israeli army says that it's killed a hamas military commander in the occupied west bank. the military says ashraf nafeh was killed by a drone strike in the city of tulkarm. israeli and palestinian officials say he was among seven palestinians that were killed in the operation. the palestinian health ministry said a woman was among those killed. kenya has been hit by another

round of violent protests. police fired tear gas todays disperse groups protesting in the central business district. shops and offices remained closed in the city centre as people stayed at home. the protestors had threatened to march to the main airport and disrupt operations there. so that is that. in little over 48 hours, kamala harris has sewn up the nomination, winning the endorsement tonight of the two most senior democrats in congress. that endorsement has capped an extraordinary few days. not only did harris the support of enough democratic delegates to see off any challenge. she had the endorsement of all the democratic governors, a0 democratic senators and with it a fundraising surge that underlines the excitement that is pulsing through the democratric base. between sunday night and monday evening she had brought in over $100 million. that's includes donations from 1.1 million donors, 62% of them contributing to the campaign for the first time. and to put that into perspective,

president biden raised $127 million in the entire month ofjune. some 58,000 signed up to volunteer for the campaign in that period. tonight in wisconsin, in her first rally as the nominee, she promised to carry the fight to donald trump. this campaign is notjust about us versus donald trump. this campaign is about who we fight for. applause as well as kim and doug — we are also joined this half hour by chuck rocha, democratic strategist who worked a campaign adviser to bernie sanders. and the pollster scarlett maguire, from il partners. i'v e i've been wanting to talk to a pollster for some day now, i will

start with you. so much happening in the last two weeks. the attempted assassination of donald trump which led to a bump in some states, and now we have kamala harris as the presumptive nominee. what are you seeing in the polls? i presumptive nominee. what are you seeing in the polls?— seeing in the polls? i think it's too early to — seeing in the polls? i think it's too early to make _ seeing in the polls? i think it's too early to make a _ seeing in the polls? i think it's too early to make a judgmentl seeing in the polls? i think it's - too early to make a judgment yet, but i think one thing you can say is that it's injected uncertainty back into the race now. that uncertainty was always there to some extent because the margins in the us election are so much tighter than, for example, the uk election which we have just had. for example, the uk election which we havejust had. i think the entrance of kamala harris into the race and crucially the exit ofjoe biden whose own personal ratings were historically underwater i think has injected a lot of energy back into the race and could come up with a lot of upside for the democrats. 100 days to the election, 25 days of infighting among democrats. it was a real gamble and yet the fact that it's been done so quickly, does that suggest to you that, actually, a conversation had been going on well

before joe conversation had been going on well beforejoe biden took that decision on sunday? i before joe biden took that decision on sunda ? ~ . , ., before joe biden took that decision on sunda ? ~ ., ., ., on sunday? i think it has to do with exactly what _ on sunday? i think it has to do with exactly what you — on sunday? i think it has to do with exactly what you are _ on sunday? i think it has to do with exactly what you are saying, - on sunday? i think it has to do with exactly what you are saying, which | exactly what you are saying, which is the _ exactly what you are saying, which is the timing and the urgency. i think_ is the timing and the urgency. i think the — is the timing and the urgency. i think the party realised afterjoe biden_ think the party realised afterjoe biden stepped out that we had to move _ biden stepped out that we had to move quickly because there isjust over 100 _ move quickly because there isjust over 100 days left, and there's only so much _ over 100 days left, and there's only so much time you have to talk to so many— so much time you have to talk to so many voters — so much time you have to talk to so many voters. so i think that was the urgency_ many voters. so i think that was the urgency that — many voters. so i think that was the urgency that you've seen. and i think— urgency that you've seen. and i think i— urgency that you've seen. and i think i think it's really ironic. i've — think i think it's really ironic. i've been— think i think it's really ironic. i've been doing this for over 35 years— i've been doing this for over 35 years is— i've been doing this for over 35 years isjust a week i've been doing this for over 35 years is just a week ago, i've been doing this for over 35 years isjust a week ago, what years is just a week ago, what a whiplash — years is just a week ago, what a whiplash. all of my democratic friends, — whiplash. all of my democratic friends, i— whiplash. all of my democratic friends, i had put them on suicide watch _ friends, i had put them on suicide watch because i was worried to death that they— watch because i was worried to death that they were all out here so sad and so _ that they were all out here so sad and so upsets, and now all of those same _ and so upsets, and now all of those same people that were so sad or holding — same people that were so sad or holding parades and town holds and conference calls. it couldn't be more _ conference calls. it couldn't be more like _ conference calls. it couldn't be more like night and day within this party _ more like night and day within this -a . more like night and day within this .a _ , , , . more like night and day within this party. the split screen, doug, is really worth _ party. the split screen, doug, is really worth it. _ party. the split screen, doug, is really worth it. you've _ party. the split screen, doug, is really worth it. you've got - party. the split screen, doug, is really worth it. you've got joe i really worth it. you've gotjoe biden returning from delaware, looking pretty tired, smiling but tired, and then you've got this spirited speech in milwaukee from

this age of reality tv. but they are where they are. obviously she is arousing a lot of enthusiasm. she wasn't a great candidate when she ran in 2020, and she hasn't made a huge impression, i think, as vice president, but she has an extraordinary background and she's injected a lot of energy into things. and it would be a great things. and it would be a great thing if america had a female president. so let's see how it unfolds. d0 president. so let's see how it unfolds. ,, president. so let's see how it unfolds. , ., ,, . unfolds. do you think, chuck, that the are unfolds. do you think, chuck, that they are ready _ unfolds. do you think, chuck, that they are ready for _ unfolds. do you think, chuck, that they are ready for a _ unfolds. do you think, chuck, that they are ready for a woman - they are ready for a woman president? i they are ready for a woman president?— they are ready for a woman president? they are ready for a woman resident? ,, ,., ~ . , president? i think so. and it draws a contrast- — president? i think so. and it draws a contrast- l _ president? i think so. and it draws a contrast. i make _ president? i think so. and it draws a contrast. i make television - president? i think so. and it draws a contrast. i make television ads i a contrast. i make television ads for a _ a contrast. i make television ads for a living _ a contrast. i make television ads fora living. i a contrast. i make television ads for a living. i worked on a bunch of congressional and senate races, and in every— congressional and senate races, and in every campaign i'm in, you want to have— in every campaign i'm in, you want to have a— in every campaign i'm in, you want to have a visual contrast and a contrast— to have a visual contrast and a contrast of— to have a visual contrast and a contrast of ideas and colours. you 'ust contrast of ideas and colours. you just saw— contrast of ideas and colours. you just saw the — contrast of ideas and colours. you just saw the republicans put together an amazing visual contest with their— together an amazing visual contest with their convention where they had

kamala harris, but the upside for her seems to be that it is not baked in. it's not like they have strong feelings about her because they don't know an awful lot about her. does that give her a chance over the next few weeks to reintroduce herself? i next few weeks to reintroduce herself? ~ next few weeks to reintroduce herself? ,, . , ,., , next few weeks to reintroduce herself? ,, . , , ., , herself? i think it absolutely does. alain, it's herself? i think it absolutely does. again. it's that _ herself? i think it absolutely does. again, it's that gamble, _ herself? i think it absolutely does. again, it's that gamble, that - herself? i think it absolutely does. again, it's that gamble, that risk l again, it's that gamble, that risk of upside or the taking a chance on the upside and risking any potential downside, which i fully believe was worth it for the democrats in swapping her in at this point. yes, people don't love her. she is the most unpopular vice president of recent times. when you talk about her in focus groups, people will say, oh, ithink her in focus groups, people will say, oh, i think she is a bit incompetent, but really, as you said, their views of her are not solidified yet. so there is a huge opportunity for the democrats to create her brand. they haven't got long. but if they can do that and create an impact and change voters impressions, which you are absolutely right, have not solidified, then they are in with a chance. again, to add to what your other guest was saying, yes, she's

unpopular, she's about the same as donald trump when it comes to approval ratings, but she's got more potential there because everyone knows who donald trump is. yes, the assassination came with a little bit of upside for him, but fundamentally, the american public know exactly what they think about donald trump whether they like him or not. that is not true of kamala harris, and that means we could see her doing potentially better—than—expected. i her doing potentially better-than-expected. her doing potentially better-than-exected. . ., better-than-expected. i read on social media _ better-than-expected. i read on social media that _ better-than-expected. i read on social media that she _ better-than-expected. i read on social media that she is - better-than-expected. i read on social media that she is brat, . better-than-expected. i read on social media that she is brat, is| social media that she is brat, is she able to hook in the young people to walk away from the biden campaign?— to walk away from the biden cam-iain? ., , campaign? you might be asking the wron: campaign? you might be asking the wrong person _ campaign? you might be asking the wrong person about _ campaign? you might be asking the wrong person about brat. _ campaign? you might be asking the wrong person about brat. i - campaign? you might be asking the wrong person about brat. i think- wrong person about brat. i think biden... ., wrong person about brat. i think biden... . ., ., biden. .. the fear of the other panelists _ biden. .. the fear of the other panelists face, _ biden. .. the fear of the other panelists face, they _ biden. .. the fear of the other panelists face, they thought i biden. .. the fear of the other . panelists face, they thought they were going to ask to explain what it is. �* ., ., ., , . were going to ask to explain what it is. i'm not going to explain what it is, but that _ is. i'm not going to explain what it is, but that does _ is. i'm not going to explain what it is, but that does speak _ is. i'm not going to explain what it is, but that does speak to - is. i'm not going to explain what it is, but that does speak to another| is, but that does speak to another point, so biden's problems are twofold. both of them stemmed from concerns over his age, but not only was he struggling with the double disapproved of his groups that your other guest mentioned about the people who didn't really like either option in front of them, but he was

president behind her. the other thing, of course is that she has been an activist for a long time, pro—choice. i think she will try to make this a big, big issue in the election. that may also bring the female vote on side. we election. that may also bring the female vote on side.— election. that may also bring the female vote on side. we didn't know how she prosecuted _ female vote on side. we didn't know how she prosecuted that _ female vote on side. we didn't know how she prosecuted that during - female vote on side. we didn't knowl how she prosecuted that during those senate hearings for the supreme courts. certainly want to go back and watch. let's quickly go back to washington and speak to our state department correspondent, tom bateman, whojoins me now from capitol hill. tom, what can you tell us? well, you can probably — tom, what can you tell us? well, you can probably see _ tom, what can you tell us? well, you can probably see that _ tom, what can you tell us? well, you can probably see that the _ tom, what can you tell us? well, you can probably see that the police - can probably see that the police are now heavily involved in this protest are trying to end it. behind us here is the rotunda as it's known in the house of representatives, one of the office buildings here in the house.

you mightjust be able to see some people in red t—shirts. there were at least 100 of them sitting here, chanting. they are wearing t—shirts saying jews stop israel. as soon as we got here, i saw police using plastic cuffs, cuffing people, pulling them up and taking them one by one this way. and we can still see some police here. they've stopped us getting into the rotunda itself, but they have been taking people out one by one. i went to try to speak to one or two of those who had been detained and i was told in no uncertain terms by the police to move back. we have not been held in this small area here. we can't get any closer to the protesters themselves. but you can see here still a bit of a standoff back in the rotunda. most of the protesters now i think on their feet in the last few minutes and the police try to lead to most of them away. they also had a banner that was unfurled

here at one point saying stop the genocide. so already you can see that with mr benjamin netanyahu in washington now, but we are still 24 hours or so here a joint address to congress but already bringing this to a halt. brute congress but already bringing this to a halt. ~ ., congress but already bringing this to a halt. ~ . ., ., to a halt. we are going to talk about the _ to a halt. we are going to talk about the issues _ to a halt. we are going to talk about the issues that - to a halt. we are going to talk about the issues that kamala | to a halt. we are going to talk - about the issues that kamala harris will need to navigate after this quick break. around the world and across the uk.

joe biden is recovered from his bout of covid and tonight was returning from delaware, in time for important meetings on thursday with prime minister benjamin netenyahu. tomorrow the israeli prime minister will be speak to to a join session of the us congress. not an appearance that is universally welcome among democrats. it is notable that vice president harris will not be presiding. she is on a visit to indineapolis

to an event that was planned before congress agreed the date with the israeli prime minister. that said she will meet him on thursday on the side of meetings he will have with president biden. we just saw there in the rotunda what is usually a divisive issue gazais what is usually a divisive issue gaza is in the united states at the moment. i'm presuming that kamala harris would likejoe biden to take the lead on this and get it done before the election in november. absolutely she would because there is not politically a winning side to this argument because no matter what you do, there are portions of our coalition that you are going to turn off. it's been a big problem for the current president, especially with young voters, especially with young muslim voters in a state like michigan or there's 100,000 muslim voters there it has a lot to do with public policy, but you've got to

come across as someone who cares and show simply on both sides of this. i don't think no matter what she does she is not going to alienate someone in her own party. she she is not going to alienate someone in her own party-— in her own party. she seemed to have more empathy — in her own party. she seemed to have more empathy in _ in her own party. she seemed to have more empathy in the _ in her own party. she seemed to have more empathy in the pulling - in her own party. she seemed to have more empathy in the pulling then - in her own party. she seemed to have more empathy in the pulling then joe | more empathy in the pulling thenjoe biden. probably because she talked on one of her public appearances about the palestinians first clearly as chuck says in states like michigan and minnesota, this is really important stuff, harris because it could come down to a thousand votes.— thousand votes. absolutely. especially — thousand votes. absolutely. especially somewhere - thousand votes. absolutely. especially somewhere like i thousand votes. absolutely. - especially somewhere like michigan which _ especially somewhere like michigan which would be one of the seven states _ which would be one of the seven states that really determined the outcome — states that really determined the outcome of this election. i do think biden— outcome of this election. i do think biden was— outcome of this election. i do think biden was actually genuinely seen as empathetic. this issue is deeply problematic for him. they were much more _ problematic for him. they were much more enthusiastic about him come of 'ust more enthusiastic about him come of just fundamentally by the end thought he was too old. but i do

think— thought he was too old. but i do think kamala harris has an opportunity to gain empathy. i think today's— opportunity to gain empathy. i think today's visit shows that they are going _ today's visit shows that they are going to — today's visit shows that they are going to be several issues like this which _ going to be several issues like this which are — going to be several issues like this which are incredibly hard to navigate. i've no doubt the republicans have lost their best attack _ republicans have lost their best attack line for november which was undoubtedly biden's age. we'll start pivoting _ undoubtedly biden's age. we'll start pivoting hard to questions of policy, — pivoting hard to questions of policy, questions about the economy and immigration which so far voters have been— and immigration which so far voters have been very critical on for the democrats — have been very critical on for the democrats over these three years that they've been in power. that might _ that they've been in power. that might work, she's got an awful lot of a tricky— might work, she's got an awful lot of a tricky thing is to navigate. soldiers — of a tricky thing is to navigate. soldiersjoe biden. it strikes me that kamala harris needs him to have a very good week. if you can't campaign is he up to thejob. he will make public comments, then these meetings with prime minister netanyahu. it begs more questions of the nominee. this netanyahu. it begs more questions of the nominee-— the nominee. this doesn't go away in a week. the nominee. this doesn't go away in a week- when _ the nominee. this doesn't go away in a week. when he _ the nominee. this doesn't go away in a week. when he addresses - the nominee. this doesn't go away in a week. when he addresses the - a week. when he addresses the nation from the _ a week. when he addresses the nation from the oval— a week. when he addresses the nation

of the week is looking a little bit mixed, but today, there was some warm sunshine for most of us. some of the best weather was to be found in western parts of scotland. lovely weather watcher picture that. and also across northern ireland, 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 ii 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.

the context on bbc news. in kamala harris' ancestral village in india, residents offer special prayers for her success in the presidential race. we ran out of time and the last half hour, we were talking about foreign policy and israel. mainstream european politicians who are anxious about trump returning to the white house have welcomed joe biden's decision to step aside. but they're now confronted with the somewhat unsettling prospect of a democratic president who they don't really know. european commission president ursula von der leyen has held only one bilateral meeting with harris back in 2022. for much of her time as vp, she has been largely "invisible" to the europeans. that's how isabel schnabel, a member of the european central bank's executive board, put it
