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". protests against mr netanyahu's visit started last night. hundreds ofjewish demonstrators staged a sit—in at the capitol to protest against the war in gaza and were later removed by police. let's and were later removed by police. go live to capito katrina let's go live to capitol hill and katrina perry, who is there for us. we will talk about that address to congress in a moment, but start by

talking me through the protests we have seen? a ., , . have seen? matthew, we are expecting the bi est have seen? matthew, we are expecting the biggest protest _ have seen? matthew, we are expecting the biggest protest around _ have seen? matthew, we are expecting the biggest protest around prime - the biggest protest around prime minister netanyahu's visit to begin in an hour's time. some of those have already begun gathering. we are see individuals here with posters saying free palestine. that protest is organised by the us campaign for palestinian rights. that plan is to gather on the other side of the capitol and then march all around it. it's hard to know how many people will turn up for that. they have asked for a permit for 5,000 people. the last time there was a protest here about this issue was in january and 400,000 people turned up for that. of course, this address by prime minister netanyahu has been well flagged. we have known he has been coming for several weeks now, so plenty of time for people to get organised and come for that main protest at 11am. organised and come for that main protest at ”am. a later protest happening just about an hour before prime minister netanyahu's address

begins, and that is a more broad church of protesting interests. that is organised by a group calling themselves the peace and justice block, and that will be made up of palestinians, jewish people, arabs and allies, is how they are describing them, they will also gather at the us capitol. people here are protesting in large part over what they see as the humanitarian disaster that prime minister netanyahu is presiding over in gaza. that is the view of the main bulk of protesters here, but there is also a significant proportion of people led by some of the families of the israeli hostages who have travelled here for this speech. there are still eight americans held hostage by hamas as well, so some of those are also here to protest prime minister netanyahu's handling of the situation. ., ~ netanyahu's handling of the situation. . ~ ., ., situation. talk me through the raw olitics of situation. talk me through the raw politics of a _ situation. talk me through the raw politics of a day — situation. talk me through the raw politics of a day like _ situation. talk me through the raw politics of a day like today, -

situation. talk me through the raw politics of a day like today, the - politics of a day like today, the current state of the relationship between joe current state of the relationship betweenjoe biden and benjamin netanyahu and now, critically, kamala harris and benjamin netanyahu? kamala harris and ben'amin netanyahuvfi kamala harris and ben'amin netanyahu? kamala harris and ben'amin netan ahu? , �*, , netanyahu? exactly, it's been quite a few weeks — netanyahu? exactly, it's been quite a few weeks in _ netanyahu? exactly, it's been quite a few weeks in us _ netanyahu? exactly, it's been quite a few weeks in us politics, - netanyahu? exactly, it's been quite a few weeks in us politics, so - a few weeks in us politics, so everything is a little fraught. bizarrely, attention has been taken away from prime minister netanyahu's address, which ordinarily would have been the main news event happening here, but so much has happened in past weeks. that relationship between joe past weeks. that relationship betweenjoe biden and prime minister netanyahu has always been a close one. the relationship goes back decades. we knowjoe biden travelled to israeljust a couple of days after those october the 7th attacks, embracing benjamin netanyahu. we have seen that relationship deteriorates somewhat over the months. president biden would say it is still very close and that he still stands strongly beside israel, but we have seen some withholding of weapons injune. some of those have since been delivered and that annoyed prime minister netanyahu.

there has been some exchange of rhetoric between the two. when it comes to kamala harris, it's a little unclear what her position will be. she is obviously part of the biden administration and although she now looks set to be the presidential nominee, she can't stray too far from her boss at this point. there can't be two presidents at the same time. but she has shown at the same time. but she has shown a softer approach, a more humanitarian approach, and has been trying to pressurisejoe biden to intent pressurise netanyahu into doing more to get humanitarian aid into gaza. tell doing more to get humanitarian aid into gaza. ., ., into gaza. tell me more about the current number— into gaza. tell me more about the current number i _ into gaza. tell me more about the current number i have _ into gaza. tell me more about the current numberi have read, - into gaza. tell me more about the current numberi have read, which into gaza. tell me more about the i current numberi have read, which is current number i have read, which is that it could be upwards of 50 house and senate democrats by cutting today? speech by benjamin netanyahu. what is the figure you are hearing and if it is of that sort of magnitude, what what do you make of that? ., , ., , magnitude, what what do you make of that? c, , c, y that? that is roughly the same fiaure that? that is roughly the same fi . ure we that? that is roughly the same figure we are _

thatis muslim americans in this country, that is particularly a state that may swing this election depending on how individuals that decide to vote in relation to the democratic party's position on israel. sorry, i said a moment ago that the prime minister is speaking at three o'clock here. it is two o'clock here, so seven o'clock in the uk. we will come back to you in these coming hours for a will come back to you in these coming hours fora build—up will come back to you in these coming hours for a build—up of that. let's stay with this. the visit comes with benjamin netanyhu under enormous pressure from the relatives of hostages still being held by hamas. they urged him not to travel until he'd sealed a dealfor their release. ayelet levy shachar is desperate to bring her 20—year—old daughter she's been speaking to the bbc�*s barbara plett usher. she's a girl of values and a peace—seeker. she is a good sister

to her siblings. she's a good daughter, although she likes to fight with her mom, whichjust means that she's very normal. i think she's very strong. your face lights up when you talk about her. yeah. i miss her very much. i worry, but when i talk about her, it's like she's here with me and, um, of course, i love her. tell me about the prime minister going to the united states, and he asked if you would come along on his plane, and you said you would not accompany the prime minister on his plane. why is that? i just feel that the focus right now is on the talks and on the negotiations and on getting this deal sealed and bringing our hostages back home. i just think this is not

the right time for this. you think it might lead to a delay on this issue? it might lead to a delay, it might lead to a distraction. i'm asking and hoping that our prime minister's commitment to this will be his first priority. how important do you think the us role is? i think the us plays a critical role in the negotiations. they're reaching the point of breaking a deal. both sides are coming closer with their demands. and even saying that, it sounds wrong, because, how can you be talking about demands when you are talking about my daughter's life? so are you hopeful, then? yes. i'm not losing hope at any point. we are over nine months, so i'm actually feeling desperate.

just one mother, talking to the bbc. let's speak to gershon baskin — middle east director of the international communities organisation, and a former israeli hostage negotiator. before we get into the details of where we are with the negotiations, did that give us a sense of the frustration, the anguish and anger that exists among many of the hostage families?— that exists among many of the hostage families? there are 120 israeli hostages _ hostage families? there are 120 israeli hostages still _ hostage families? there are 120 israeli hostages still in - hostage families? there are 120 israeli hostages still in the - hostage families? there are 120 israeli hostages still in the gaza j israeli hostages still in the gaza strip under hamas in captivity. a large number of them are known to be dead, tens of them, and it might be higher. we have been saying since the beginning of the war that every day that these hostages remain in gazais day that these hostages remain in gaza is a risk to their lives and they are dying. they are being killed by hamas and by israeli bombs. the government of israel has

a responsibility to bring them home. we have been saying this since the beginning of the war, but the price of bringing them home is going to be ending the warand of bringing them home is going to be ending the war and israel withdrawing from gaza, which is something that prime minister netanyahu does not want to do. and therefore, the issue of bringing the hostages home is secondary. it's not the primary directive of the israeli government under his leadership, and thatis government under his leadership, and that is why there is a great deal of fear and anger that is why there is a great deal of fearand angerand that is why there is a great deal of fear and anger and anguish and anxiety amongst the families of the hostages and amongst most israelis, because we have as part of our ethos that we don't leave anyone behind. and now, almost ten months into this war, we have left them behind. benjamin netanyahu is often accused of simply dragging his feet over the hostage negotiations. how close or far away do you think we still are to getting that deal? it’s far away do you think we still are to getting that deal?— to getting that deal? it's all in his hands- _ to getting that deal? it's all in his hands. he _ to getting that deal? it's all in his hands. he knows- to getting that deal? it's all in his hands. he knows what - to getting that deal? it's all in his hands. he knows what the| to getting that deal? it's all in - his hands. he knows what the demands of hamas are. they are difficult demands. there is no doubt that in

some sense, it is a surrender to the demands of hamas, but the first priority must be to bring the citizens of israel home who were taken from their homes by hamas on october the 7th. even if he has to end the war and withdraw from gaza, gazais end the war and withdraw from gaza, gaza is not going away and the problem of the future of gaza needs to be dealt with politically and diplomatically by israel, by our neighbours, by the international community, the president of the united states and the next president of the united states. this is a global issue that needs to be dealt with by us all, but the first priority is for prime minister netanyahu to make the decision to bring them home. this netanyahu to make the decision to bring them home.— bring them home. this visit to washington- _ bring them home. this visit to washington- how _ bring them home. this visit to washington- how much - bring them home. this visit to washington- how much do - bring them home. this visit to | washington- how much do you bring them home. this visit to - washington- how much do you think, washington— how much do you think, behind the scenes, changes given the the events of sunday? i behind the scenes, changes given the the events of sunday?— the events of sunday? i think it chanced the events of sunday? i think it changed a _ the events of sunday? i think it changed a lot. _ the events of sunday? i think it changed a lot. i— the events of sunday? i think it changed a lot. i think _ the events of sunday? i think it i changed a lot. i think netanyahu's primary message was going to be to donald trump, saying to donald trump, i am donald trump, saying to donald trump, iam not donald trump, saying to donald trump, i am not weak, donald trump, saying to donald trump, iam not weak, i donald trump, saying to donald trump, i am not weak, i am strong, i don't give

trump, iam not weak, iam strong, i don't give in to trump, i am not weak, i am strong, i don't give in to terrorism, i will not surrender to hamas. and withjoe biden leaving the race, it seems less sure that donald trump will be the next president, and he needs to make israel a bipartisan issue once again where everyone knows that netanyahu leaned strongly towards the republican party.— the republican party. gershon baskin, thank _ the republican party. gershon baskin, thank you _ the republican party. gershon baskin, thank you for- the republican party. gershon baskin, thank you for taking i the republican party. gershon i baskin, thank you for taking time the republican party. gershon - baskin, thank you for taking time to speak to us. let's go back to washington — and president biden will address the nation tonight — a defining political moment, as he explains why he's dropped out of the presidential race — and how he plans to govern over the next six months. meanwhile — kamala harris has described november's election as a choice between freedom and chaos. 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 percent to his 42 percent. yesterday, kamala harris told supporters that as a former prosecutor, she knew donald trump's type. i took on perpetrators of all kinds. predators who had abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers. cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. so hear me when i say, i know donald trump's type. she is now travelling to indiana and we will be there later to see another of these campaigns. let's speak to whit ayres — republican pollster and the founder

and president of north star opinion research. some are mind—boggling last seven days? we some are mind-boggling last seven da s? ~ ., some are mind-boggling last seven da s? ~ . ., ., ., .,~ days? we have had an earthquake in the presidential _ days? we have had an earthquake in the presidential race _ days? we have had an earthquake in the presidential race in _ days? we have had an earthquake in the presidential race in america - the presidential race in america over the last eight days. what kamala harris�*s ascension has done is move the race back to what it was before joe is move the race back to what it was beforejoe biden�*s disastrous debate, where we will have national polls showing both candidates very close to each other, but donald trump holding a lead in most if not all of the swing states. so we have all of the swing states. so we have a real race on our hands, but i still think donald trump is the favourite. , ., , ., , favourite. listening to these early contributions, _ favourite. listening to these early contributions, have _ favourite. listening to these early contributions, have you _ favourite. listening to these early contributions, have you worked i favourite. listening to these early l contributions, have you worked out what the strategy from republicans will be? the what the strategy from republicans will be? , ., , , what the strategy from republicans will be? , . , , ., will be? the strategy will be to aint will be? the strategy will be to paint kamala — will be? the strategy will be to paint kamala harris _ will be? the strategy will be to paint kamala harris as - will be? the strategy will be to paint kamala harris as a i will be? the strategy will be to paint kamala harris as a san i paint kamala harris as a san francisco liberal who wants to ban fracking and offshore drilling and private insurance, someone who is

way to the left of not onlyjoe biden, but most american voters. so it's an easy thing to paint her like that. they will also paint her as a candidate who is just not very good. she was widely recognised to be one of the weaker members of the biden administration. herfavourable and administration. her favourable and unfavourable administration. herfavourable and unfavourable ratings are upside down, favourable in the 30s, unfavourable in the 50s. her 2020 campaign for president was an unmitigated disaster, beset with staff infighting and backbiting and message confusion, and she had to drop out before the first race in iowa. so she doesn't have a record of being a good candidate on the stump. in of being a good candidate on the stum -. , ., ,., of being a good candidate on the stum. , ., ., stump. in terms of some of the things that have been set i stump. in terms of some of the things that have been set in i stump. in terms of some of the j things that have been set in the last couple of days, we have heard her described as a dei, a diversity vice—president pick, even after the speaker advised the republican party

to steer clear of descriptions like that. donald trump said at a rally that. donald trump said at a rally that camel house is not going to be the first female president, we are not supposed to have a socialist, especially a female. going after colour and gender, isn't thatjust bad politics? colour and gender, isn't that 'ust bad politicsvfi bad politics? yes, it's very bad olitics. bad politics? yes, it's very bad politics- it _ bad politics? yes, it's very bad politics. it will _ bad politics? yes, it's very bad politics. it will backfire. - bad politics? yes, it's very bad politics. it will backfire. there | politics. it will backfire. there are plenty of ways to run against kamala harris without any reference to gender was that the republicans would be smarter to stick to a policy —based and competence —based message that had nothing to do with race or gender. message that had nothing to do with race or gender-— message that had nothing to do with race or gender. what about money? i mentioned in — race or gender. what about money? i mentioned in the _ race or gender. what about money? i mentioned in the introduction - race or gender. what about money? i mentioned in the introduction the i mentioned in the introduction the huge amounts that she has already raised since sunday. other figures suggest it is even larger. how critical will that be?— critical will that be? money is alwa s critical will that be? money is always important. _ critical will that be? money is always important. it's - critical will that be? money is always important. it's not i critical will that be? money is j always important. it's not the defining aspect of a presidential campaign because there are so many other ways for people to get the message, money is important and this is a consequence of democrats being so relieved that they are not going

to have to run with the albatross of joe biden hanging around their necks all for. so they are really relieved that they have a reset. it's a missed opportunity that they haven't reset the race as much as they might haveif reset the race as much as they might have if they had nominated one of their very popular centre—left governors, but it at least getsjoe biden out of the way and give them another chance. indie biden out of the way and give them another chance.— another chance. we shall see, because as — another chance. we shall see, because as you _ another chance. we shall see, because as you said, - another chance. we shall see, because as you said, we i another chance. we shall see, because as you said, we are i another chance. we shall see, j because as you said, we are in another chance. we shall see, i because as you said, we are in very new territory, so everything to do with polling, i suspect people need to pause and wait a while to see how this settles down. am sure you would agree is a pollster on that. just a final thought on money, because it has been suggested by some republicans that perhaps there could be a legal challenge about the amount of money raised for the biden—harris ticket being just passed to her. is there any mileage in that? i passed to her. is there any mileage in that? ., passed to her. is there any mileage in that? . ., ., ., ., , ., in that? i am not an attorney, man but i in that? i am not an attorney, man but i think— in that? i am not an attorney, man but | think that — in that? i am not an attorney, man but i think that is _ in that? i am not an attorney, man but i think that is a _ in that? i am not an attorney, man but i think that is a long _ in that? i am not an attorney, man but i think that is a long shot. it i but i think that is a long shot. it was raised for a biden—harris

i want to take you back to a separate story in washington.

the fbi director is taking questions from congress on that attempt to assassinate donald trump. irate from congress on that attempt to assassinate donald trump. we bring all the resources _ assassinate donald trump. we bring all the resources of _ assassinate donald trump. we bring all the resources of the _ assassinate donald trump. we bring all the resources of the fbi - assassinate donald trump. we bring all the resources of the fbi to i all the resources of the fbi to protect security. there is a lot of work to do in our understanding of what happened and why, which will continue to evolve, but we are going to leave no stone unturned. the shooter may be deceased, but the fbi investigation is very much ongoing. to that point, i also want to acknowledge that i recognise both the congressional and the public interest in this case and the importance of this investigation to the american people. i understand there are a lot of open questions. so while the investigation is very much ongoing and our assessments of the shooter and his actions continue to evolve, i hope to do my best to

provide you with all the information i can, given where we are at this point. i have been saying for some time that we are living in an elevated threat environment, and tragically, the butler county assassination attempt is another example, a particularly heinous and public one, of what i have been talking about. but it also reinforces our need at the fbi and our ongoing commitment to stay focused on the threats, and the mission and on the people we do the work with and the people we do the work with and the people we do the work for. every day, across this country and around the world, the men and women of the fbi are doing just that, working around the clock to counter the threats we face. just in the last year, for example, in california, the fbi and our partners targeted and organised crime syndicate responsible for trafficking fentanyl, meth and cocaine across north america. we

charged the mexican —based suppliers who brought the drugs into the united states, a network of canada based truck drivers who deliver drugs, and the distributors in the united states who spread the poison into our communities. staying on threats emanating from the border, i have warned for some time now about the threat that foreign terrorists may seek to exploit our south—west border or some other port of entry to advance the plot against americans. just last month, for instance, the bureau and ourjoint terrorism task force has worked in multiple cities across the country as several individuals were suspected international terrorist ties were arrested using isis immigration authorities. leading up to those arrests, hundreds of

employees dedicated countless hours to understand the threat and identify individuals of concern. the physical security of the border is of course not in the fbi's lane, but as the threat has escalated, we are working with our partners in the enforcement and intelligence community to find and stop foreign terrorists who would harm americans and our interests. as concerning the known or suspected terrorists encountered at the border are, perhaps even more concerning those we don't yet know about, because they provide fake documents or because we didn't have information connecting them to terrorism at the time they arrived in the united states. staying ahead of today's threats demands that we work together and for the fbi, that means doubling down on our partnerships, especially with state and local law enforcement. whether it is working to our hundreds ofjoint task forces

to our hundreds ofjoint task forces to build networks and identify those who slip through the cracks, or targeting the worst of the worst responsible for the violence that still plagues far too many communities through our safe streets task forces, or taking the fight to the cartel is responsible for trafficking in the dangerous drugs like fenta nyl trafficking in the dangerous drugs like fentanyl pouring into our country and claiming countless american lives, staying ahead of the threat also means continuing to disrupt the cyber criminals ravaging businesses large and small, and confronting nation states like china targeting how innovation and critical infrastructure. at the bureau, we are proud to work side by side with our brothers and sisters federal, state and local law enforcement, our partners in the intelligence community and others around the world to fulfil our commitment to keep americans safe.

on friday, the fbi will celebrate its 116th anniversary. 116 years of protecting the american people and upholding the constitution. 116 years of working with our partners to safeguard the communities we serve. 116 years of innovating to stay ahead of the complex evolving and very real threats out there. i am proud of the legacy of the men and women of the fbi has built and all they have accomplished for the american people. so if i may, as we approach this week's anniversary, i would like to say to all those who are part of the fbi family, from our current employees to our former employees and partners across law enforcement and intelligence community, thank you. thank you for dedicating your lives to this country and to its people. it is both humbling and in honour to serve

alongside you and i look forward to the work we are going to continue to do together. with that, thank you again for having me and look forward to our discussion. irate again for having me and look forward to our discussion.— to our discussion. we will now roceed to our discussion. we will now proceed under _ to our discussion. we will now proceed under the _ to our discussion. we will now proceed under the five - to our discussion. we will now proceed under the five minutej to our discussion. we will now i proceed under the five minute rule. director_ proceed under the five minute rule. director wray, proceed under the five minute rule. directorwray, i proceed under the five minute rule. director wray, i appreciate the chairman only five minutes. why doesn't the fbi disclosed to the american people all of the investigative detail and evidence that you are gathering as it is gathered?— that you are gathering as it is cathered? ~ ., ., , gathered? well, we have tried to be transarent gathered? well, we have tried to be transparent with _ gathered? well, we have tried to be transparent with both _ gathered? well, we have tried to be transparent with both congress i gathered? well, we have tried to be transparent with both congress and | transparent with both congress and the american people as we are going along _ the american people as we are going along in_ the american people as we are going along in the — the american people as we are going along in the investigation, frankly, unusually— along in the investigation, frankly, unusually so for an ongoing investigation, given the nature of it. investigation, given the nature of it we _ investigation, given the nature of it we have — investigation, given the nature of it. we have provided a lot of information. i expect to continue to provide _ information. i expect to continue to provide information. i expect to provide — provide information. i expect to provide additional information today in response to your questions and your colleagues'. but part of the
