video is made public showing the british olympic star charlotte dujardin repeatedly whipping a horse. she has now withdrawn from this summer's paris games. and heavy rain and strong winds are hitting taiwan as it braces itself for the full onslaught of typhoon gaemi, projected to be the strongest storm to move over the island in eight years. hello, i'm geeta guru—murthy. welcome to bbc news now. we start in washington, where israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is preparing to address the joint houses of the us congress later amid protests over his handling of the war against hamas in gaza. on his first trip since the attack by hamas on october the 7th, mr netanyahu has said that he'll be seeking to consolidate bipartisan

support for israel in his address. but several us lawmakers have said they won't attend. in a statement, the number two ranking democrat in the senate, dick durbin, says "i will stand by israel, but i will not stand and cheer its current prime minister". and let's hearfrom democratic senator chris van hollen: all of us who care about our partnership, both in america and in israel, should understand the enormous damage that prime minister netanyahu and his current extremist government coalition are doing to our relationship and to israel's standing in the world. so, mr president, it sends a terrible message to bring him here now to address a joint session of congress. on tuesday, around 200 demonstrators staged a sit—in at the capitol in protest against the war in gaza and mr netanyahu's speech. and relatives of hostages

still being held by hamas in gaza protested on capitol hill, urging us and israeli leaders to finalise a deal to bring them home. ahead of mr netanyahu's address to congress, police are scaling up security measures with fencing around the capitol building. our correspondent tom bateman has more. as we showed up in this part of the building, there were still around 100 or so protesters on the floor of the rotunda here, some of them led away by that stage, but others still here. the us capitol police had arrived in force by that point — they were cuffing them behind their backs, pulling people up and taking them away to be processed, being arrested one by one and moved outside of the building. one of the protesters i spoke to said there were 500 americanjews from all over the us who had come here explicitly to protest benjamin netanyahu's visit. when he is here, in thisjoint address to congress, his message will be around what he will call israel being the indispensable

ally in the middle east to the united states and also to thankjoe biden for his support over the war in gaza. but it is that very support that has led to this deep sense of division, notjust within the democratic party but across the united states, as we will see protests over the visit come to the very heart of washington. that is when comes of course amid huge changes at the top of us politics. —— is that a visit comes amid huge changes. in the first major speech of her white house campaign, vice president kamala harris has described november's election as a choice between freedom and chaos. speaking at a democratic party rally in the crucial swing—state of wisconsin, she said that as a former prosecutor she'd "dealt with predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers and cheaters who broke the rules". she told cheering supporters that she "knew donald trump's type". in a financial boost to her campaign, the vice

president's team say they have raised more than $126 million since her endorsement. and a new opinion poll conducted in the days after biden�*s exit from the race shows the vice president with a small lead over donald trump, 44% to his 42%. more senior democrats have thrown their support behind kamala harris to be the party's nominee for president. the senate majority leader chuck schumer and house minority leader hakeem jeffries said they "proudly" endorsed kamala harris afterjoe biden ended his bid for re—election. president biden — who had been isolating with covid — has now returned to the white house and is due to give an address from the oval office later — to set out how he'll spend his remaining months in office. earlier, i spoke to our north america correspondent nomia iqbal. after last night, she will be in indiana later today. this was all prescheduled, by the way, but of course, it has a renewed focus now. i think the democratic party would

say it's all going very well, thank you very much. this event in wisconsin, a key battleground state, was an opportunity for her to redefine the campaign. organisers of the venue said they had to change the venue said they had to change the venue said they had to change the venue because more people wanted to attend. this was her opportunity to attend. this was her opportunity to show the difference between her and donald trump, she said essentially, she is forward thinking, he is backward thinking. she is a former prosecutor, he is a convicted felon. this is the pitch that she will be making as she goes forward. there is some early polling that suggests that she is slightly ahead of him in the national polls, more or less neck and neck. but the national polls that tell as much as the key swing states that matter, and it's fair to say she is probably in a honeymoon period at the moment. let's not forgetjoe biden. the president is due to deliver what is arguably his most important speech later tonight, when he explains to americans why he took that stunning

decision on sunday to not seek re—election. and we have had a statement from the press secretary to joe biden and we have had a statement from the press secretary tojoe biden about the visit of the israeli prime minister to the white house. it has president biden will welcome benjamin netanyahu to the white house onjuly benjamin netanyahu to the white house on july the benjamin netanyahu to the white house onjuly the 25th. the leaders will discuss developments on gaza, progress towards a ceasefire and a hostage release deal and the united states�* ironclad commitment to israel�*s security including countering iran�*s threats to israel and the border region. it goes on to say they will be meeting with the families of americans held hostage by hamas. the vice—president will also meet separately with prime minister netanyahu onjuly the 25th. so confirmation that bothjoe biden and kamala harris will be meeting the israeli prime minister. here, the video has been made public that led britain�*s joint—most decorated female olympian, charlotte dujardin, to pull out of the paris olympics.

dutch lawyer stephan wensing, representing an anonymous whistleblower who filmed it, was given permission by his client to provide the video to the bbc. the clip appears to show the six—times medallist whipping a horse�*s legs multiple times during a training session. dujardin has said that she is "deeply ashamed" of what she�*s described as "an error ofjudgment". equestrianism�*s international governing body the ief, has provisionally suspended the rider while it conducts an investigation. our sports correspondent matt graveling was in the town of newent. it�*s just down the road from charlotte dujardin�*s stables. he has the latest on the reaction there. just behind me is the statue of the horse valegro, which she won gold in london 2012. as a result, the high street to my left hand side, the golden postbox that all the athletes got in those games. but it was after 2012 that she won a host of other medals, becoming a local hero. some

of the people we have speaking to in the stables and at the town centre say they are gutted and shocked to have seen that video. one local horse rider told me she had heard about dujardin coming through the ranks for the last 15 years, and she was sad to see it, but she did agree with the suspension. it�*s a point to reiterate that dujardin has called this an error ofjudgment, but what about the problems for the sport going forward? the ceo of world horse welfare said in a statement that the public has to trust that equestrians are caring and are treating horses with respect, compassion and understanding. that trust is damaged and it would damage the sport. sir keir starmer has been facing his first prime minister�*s questions in the commons. it comes after he suspended seven rebel labour mps for voting against the new government on the issue of the two child benefit cap. one of the mps has hit back, saying she�*s the victim of a macho virility test. here�*s our political correspondent helen catt.

the start of the exchanges. he said both leaders wished team gb well at the olympics and rishi sunak said he wasn�*t sure whether they wanted advice on winning him, perhaps a marker of the position he is in. he is the interim leader of the conservative party and interim leader of the opposition, so perhaps doesn�*t have the same impetus or authority to hold the government to account. and he chose, as you heard in helen�*s piece, to ask sir keir starmer on a bit of foreign policy both the parties largely agree on, ukraine. and he pressed sir keir starmer on long—range missiles and on various other matters linked to the ukraine conflict. interestingly, he chose a policy area where the two parties are largely in agreement. as you say, otherwise, a very different prime minister�*s questions, both in content, in tone and also in the people asking and answering the questions. people asking and answering the cuestions. , �* , questions. yes, i'm sure it will unveil itself— questions. yes, i'm sure it will unveil itself in _

action, and labour mps had stood on that manifesto, so it was seen as a test of confidence. that was why such strict discipline was imposed. as you say, seven labour mps who voted against the government last night have had the whip suspended. they will have it suspended for six months. labour party leadership were keen to talk about their review of child poverty that they are looking at, which includes looking at the question of this to child benefit cap —— two—child benefit cap. the labour leadership say they will look into it, but they saw the vote last night as one of particular importance because it was on the king�*s speech, which was putting the manifesto into action. that�*s why they wouldn�*t tolerate any rebellion from those seven mps. hana; they wouldn't tolerate any rebellion from those seven mps. harry farley, thank you- — from those seven mps. harry farley, thank you- let _ from those seven mps. harry farley, thank you. let me _ from those seven mps. harry farley, thank you. let me take _ from those seven mps. harry farley, thank you. let me take you - from those seven mps. harry farley, thank you. let me take you to - thank you. let me take you to berlin, because the german defence minister has been hosting his british counterpartjohn healy for talks. mr healy said european security will be his government�*s

the uk�*s new foreign secretary, david lammy, has arrived in india for talks with ministers and business leaders, promising a reset in the countries�* relationship. the foreign secretary says india would be "an indispensable partner" in efforts to grow britain�*s economy and tackle climate change. he hopes to move negotiations forward for a post—brexit free trade deal, which have dragged on for two years.

let�*s speak to the former —— let�*s speak to lord karan bilimoria — the founder of cobra beer and former president of the cbi this is wonderful news that david lammy is in india. he this is wonderful news that david lammy is in india.— this is wonderful news that david lammy is in india. he spoke at the india lammy is in india. he spoke at the india form — lammy is in india. he spoke at the india form a _ lammy is in india. he spoke at the india form a few _ lammy is in india. he spoke at the india form a few weeks _ lammy is in india. he spoke at the india form a few weeks before - lammy is in india. he spoke at the india form a few weeks before the | india form a few weeks before the election. he said, if i am foreign secretary, india is going to be a number one parity for me and the labour government. and here he is, actually walking the talk in india. this is wonderful news because we do need to reset our relationship with india. in the past few years, we have not made the most of what we could do with india. for example, it is eight years since there was a large prime ministerial delegation to india. the last one was theresa may in november to 2016. before that, we had tony blair and gordon browne, david cameron taking huge delegation to india. here we are

trying to negotiate a free trade agreement and these negotiations started in january 2022, agreement and these negotiations started injanuary 2022, when i was president of the confederation of british industry. two and a half years later, we have had two elections, one in each country. the elections, one in each country. the elections are over. now is the time to conclude this fta and david lammy has heard clearly that india is an emerging economic superpower, something i have been saying for years. it will in my view by 2060, india will be the largest economy in the world and it has got to be a priority for the uk to trade between our two countries. it is currently worth £39 billion. it should be much higher. a free trade agreement will help that to happen. bud higher. a free trade agreement will help that to happen.— help that to happen. and the stickin: help that to happen. and the sticking point _ help that to happen. and the sticking point from _ help that to happen. and the sticking point from india's i sticking point from india�*s viewpoint is thought to be the question of visas. will the labour government have a different view on that, do you think?— that, do you think? frankly, the conservative _ that, do you think? frankly, the conservative government - that, do you think? frankly, the conservative government we - that, do you think? frankly, the l conservative government we have that, do you think? frankly, the - conservative government we have just had that has lost a huge defeat in the elections had a hostile approach

to immigration, and also a hostile approach to international students. and the largest number of international students now in the uk come from india. the uk is one of the most attractive destinations in the most attractive destinations in the world for international students. we should be welcoming international students and welcoming the amazing ability from india in every sector of our economy. if you have a hostile approach to immigration, that is not going to win you many friends. i think the labour government is not going to have a hostile approach to immigration, quite the opposite. in fact, i shared a platform with the education secretary bridget phillipson just yesterday at king�*s couege phillipson just yesterday at king�*s college london, and she said, we want to embrace international students. we want to welcome them. what a refreshing thing to hear. so mobility is a backdrop for this free trade agreement. the hostile approach has not gone down well in india, and i hope david lammy and the keir starmer led labour government will continue to say things that make india feel welcome.

after all, we have 1.57 million people of indian origin like me in the uk now and i am proud to say we are the most successful ethnic minority community in the country, reaching the top in just about every field, includingjust reaching the top in just about every field, including just having had a prime minister of indian origin. the labour party historically have not been on the same political wing as the current indian government. will that be an issue, in your view? hot that be an issue, in your view? not at all. that be an issue, in your view? not at all- the — that be an issue, in your view? iirrt at all. the labour party has made it clear that as a government, india is a top priority and it wants to reset the relationship with india. and here we have the foreign secretary on his first trip within days of becoming foreign secretary, out there. so they mean business, and we should welcome that. lord there. so they mean business, and we should welcome that.— should welcome that. lord karan bilimoria, thank— should welcome that. lord karan bilimoria, thank you _ should welcome that. lord karan bilimoria, thank you very - should welcome that. lord karan bilimoria, thank you very much. | should welcome that. lord karan - bilimoria, thank you very much. and pictures of narendra modi, who has also just pictures of narendra modi, who has

falling tree. like you said, transport is completely at a standstill. the flights have been grounded and there are people who are just staying at home. nobody is really outside. so if you go into the streets, which most people are not doing because it�*s a bit too dangerous, people will do what they can to stay at home for the next two days while the typhoon is expected to pass the west coast. what to pass the west coast. what measures _ to pass the west coast. what measures have _ to pass the west coast. what measures have been - to pass the west coast. what measures have been taken i to pass the west coast. what | measures have been taken by to pass the west coast. what measures have been taken by the government so far? taiwan is used to typhoons, but this is much bigger than they have seen in recent years. yes, this is perhaps taiwan�*s strongest typhoon in eight years and there is a bit of worry taiwanese people have maybe become a little complacent about the strength of the typhoon and the capacity it has, especially remembering that we had an earthquake just back in april. so

the government is making sure everybody is getting the correct information. they are prohibiting people from going to the east coast, where the typhoon is expected to make landfall later this evening. and they are telling people to remain at home. nobody is going to school or to work for the next two days, so movement is very restricted, but it is intended to be for everybody�*s safety. is it restricted, but it is intended to be for everybody's safety.— for everybody's safety. is it clear wh this for everybody's safety. is it clear why this typhoon _ for everybody's safety. is it clear why this typhoon is _ for everybody's safety. is it clear why this typhoon is so _ for everybody's safety. is it clear why this typhoon is so strong? i for everybody's safety. is it clear i why this typhoon is so strong? it's not clear at _ why this typhoon is so strong? it�*s not clear at the moment why, but scientists have said that although typhoons are a regular occurrence in taiwan and they fill up taiwan�*s reservoirs with much—needed water, it could be that due to the warm pacific ocean, the typhoons are getting stronger and more

destructive and we are perhaps seeing that with the strong winds we are getting with typhoon gaemi right now. .. y g , are getting with typhoon gaemi right now. _ , , ., now. sally jensen cusicahua in tai ei. a breaching whale has capsized a boat and sent two people flying into the water. video shows how a humpback whale suddenly appeared out of the water before flipping over a small, 23—foot vessel. two people can be seen falling into the ocean as the huge mammal turns their boat upside down. but they were rescued and we heard that nobody was injured, fortunately. this is bbc news. hello. for many of us today, it�*s going to be dry with variable amounts of cloud and some sunny spells. high pressure is dominating our weather, spells. high pressure is dominating ourweather, but spells. high pressure is dominating our weather, but we do have some fronts bumping into it. they are weak fronts, so they are bringing in

cloud and light rain generally to the west. but there will be heavy rain through the afternoon across parts of wales and south—west england. and as temperatures rise, in eastern england, we could catch the odd shower but a lot of us will stay dry. at 25 degrees, it will be a pleasantly warm in the sunshine, not quite as one where we have the cloud in the rain. this evening, the cloud in the rain. this evening, the cloud and rain push in the west was the east. it will be heavy at times across the north of scotland and we are importing some humid air, so you will notice that it would be quite an oppressive night. so that�*s how we start the day tomorrow. the first weather front pushing towards the east, and we have a second one coming in which is going to bring in more rain. and the rain will turn heavier with that one across the english channel, the channel islands, some southern counties of england into the far south—east and possibly a bit further north into

central and southern england. but a lot of dry weather for many parts of the country, but further showery rain coming in across scotland and northern ireland through the day. on friday, any early cloud will move away from the south—east. then for most, it�*s going to be another dry day with lengthy sunny spells but some showers, especially in the north and west, where they could be heavy. as temperatures rise again, we could see another few showers here and there, but they will be the exception rather than the rule. friday into saturday, you may see this high pressure ridge trying to build in, but there is also a front coming from the western bumping into that, which will bring some showery rain across northern and western scotland and northern ireland. fourth southern scotland, england and wales, largely dry with sunny spells, but again, some afternoon showers popping up here and there. but as we head into sunday, high pressure will firmly be in charge. we are looking at a lot of dry

weather, some sunshine and some showers in the north—west.
