the director of the fbi has revealed that the trump assassination attempt involved the use of a drone — during the housejudiciary committee's hearing. what i can tell you when it comes to drones is that he had a drone and i'm prepared to answer questions about the shooter and his use of the drone. joe biden will speak to the nation later tonight — he'll explain why he's decided to drop out of the presidential race. kamala harris steps up her campaign for the white house. wisconsin last night — indiana in a few hours�* time. we'll be there live. and a distressing video is made public — showing the british olympic star charlotte dujardin repeatedly whipping a horse. she says she's deeply ashamed and has withdrawn from the paris olympics.

we start in washington — where israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu is preparing to address the joint houses of congress later — amid protests over his handling of the war in gaza. on his first trip since the devastating attack by hamas on october the 7th — mr netanyahu has said, that he'll be seeking to consolidate bipartisan support for israel. 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 in the senate, dick durbin, says... 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. we've been hearing in the last out

of the israeli team negotiating the release of hostages and a cease—fire in gaza has postponed its departure for qatar for those talks next week for qatar for those talks next week for the israeli officials say the reason for the delay was the team was waiting for an outcome of that meeting between benjamin netanyahu meeting between and president biden. live to capitol hill — catriona perry. sta rt by start by setting the scene for us. we've had to move indoors because security situation is so tight on capitol hill. we were speaking earlier overlooking the capitol building but they have fenced off so much of the area here because of the protesters that are already gathered. that number expecting to build throughout the day ahead of the address by prime minister netanyahu in a couple of hours from now. there is quite as significant protest taking place outside. i can tell you already that prime minister netanyahu has been speaking at another event here today. he was at

the memorial service for the former connecticut senatorjoe lieberman who passed away in march. people may remember him as a vice presidential running mate of al gore in 2000, that fateful election that ended up before the supreme court giving victory to george bushjunior for the prime minister netanyahu spoke at that memorial service about senator lieberman who is the first jewish vice presidential nominee by a major party. i can tell you some of his remarks which give us an indication of the tone he will strike later as you say, seeking to unify public opinion here. he said joe lieberman understood what was at stake after october seven in this war was the survival of the jewish state and thejewish people he also understood as you do how important the alliances between america and israel for the future of both countries for the future of both countries. we must stand together against dangers that could threaten our common future and the focus on the common problem, which is ironic. i think we will hear a lot about

that later, seeking to bring the minds together of israel and the us both focusing on iran. it minds together of israel and the us both focusing on iran.— both focusing on iran. it was interesting _ both focusing on iran. it was interesting in _ both focusing on iran. it was interesting in the _ both focusing on iran. it was l interesting in the introduction about them pushing back those delegations going to qatar. they want to wait to see what comes out of this meeting with joe want to wait to see what comes out of this meeting withjoe biden. that is an opportunity for the american president to again apply more pressure on israel's prime minister and also the vice president will meet with benjamin netanyahu. and so much as potentially changed since sunday that could well impact on the key decisions being made. absolutely. i think this is potentially a moving point in those cease—fire talks, which have stalled now for such a long time for the sense that plant thatjoe biden unveiled on the 31st of may we have not seen much progress at all. he now freed up to some extent from

seeking reelection and he will intend to focus on this and deliver from his perspective what would be a major legacy point for him, for his presidency if he could get that cease—fire deal over the line. it's a contentious issue here in the us where there is so much support for israel but also growing public anger at the situation in gaza and the level of military support that the us is providing to israel that taxpayer dollars are being used to pay for bombs that are killing so many people in gaza. the protesters here come from a number of camps today for the little earlier i spoke today for the little earlier i spoke to our correspondent tom bateman he was in the process and this is what he had to say. was in the process and this is what he had to say-— was in the process and this is what he had to say. while the protesters sa what he had to say. while the protesters say what they _ he had to say. while the protesters say what they do — he had to say. while the protesters say what they do here _ he had to say. while the protesters say what they do here is _ he had to say. while the protesters say what they do here is carry - he had to say. while the protesters say what they do here is carry out l say what they do here is carry out the citizens — say what they do here is carry out the citizens arrest against benjamin netanyahu. clearly, they are not to be able _ netanyahu. clearly, they are not to be able to— netanyahu. clearly, they are not to be able to go anywhere near him. if you look— be able to go anywhere near him. if you look this way you can see the dome _ you look this way you can see the dome of— you look this way you can see the dome of the capitol building. ijust

i am a proud jewish woman and have had a long history with the state of israel. that is why i am not going to put up two thirds of israelis think it's time for benjamin netanyahu to go. they feel strongly and i think he is bad for the state of israel, that he is a menace around the world. here we're wanting to get out the hostages, i'm about to get out the hostages, i'm about to go to a meeting with hostages he doesn't care about the hostages at all. what he cares about is himself and maintaining the status as the leader. he doesn't care. so i am not going to care. i don't understand and i'm not happy that we have invited him to come to speak to the congress. laterthis invited him to come to speak to the congress. later this week is also tomorrow lago to spend time with

fact, we were able to pass legislation that weapons should not be used by israel. if we want to have an end to this there has to be long—term solutions. he doesn't want a two state solution, he doesn't want to deal with the palestinians. we're all watching them die. just one of the _ we're all watching them die. just one of the lawmakers boy carding that address to congress a little later talking to be a short while ago. the visit comes with benjamin netanyahu under enormous pressure neta nyahu under enormous pressure from netanyahu under enormous pressure from home from the relatives of hostages still being held. let's head to tel aviv. barbara, so many of those families were furious that israel's prime minister was actually travelling to washington before a new deal is in place.—

texted a photo to the psp representative from the command centre for that that was relayed to secret service for up they asked to be texted to someone else for that that was many minutes before resident trump took the stand for that what we don't know, why without keeping them off the stand? to the extent that i know we always it is a criminal investigation you get wait for that to develop. do you have any reason, any target of your criminal investigation other than kirk's? we're investigating both the shooter to determine his motive and his preparations and activities but also to make _ preparations and activities but also to make sure there are any co—conspirators, accomplices. at co-conspirators, accomplices. at this co—conspirators, accomplices. this point co—conspirators, accomplices. git this point have you developed any evidence to suggest there are conspirators cooperators? hat evidence to suggest there are conspirators cooperators? not this time but the _ conspirators cooperators? not this time but the investigation - conspirators cooperators? not this time but the investigation is - time but the investigation is ongoing _ time but the investigation is onauoin. ~ ., time but the investigation is onuaoin.~ ., time but the investigation is onauoin. ., , time but the investigation is onuaoin.~ ., , ., ongoing. while we wait may be for months, i hate _ ongoing. while we wait may be for months, i hate to _ ongoing. while we wait may be for months, i hate to say this, - ongoing. while we wait may be for months, i hate to say this, i'm - ongoing. while we wait may be for months, i hate to say this, i'm not try to take a potshot but the country went for years with

understanding that the hunter biting laptop just information was offered by respected former intel and the whole time the fbi had the laptop. you let that happen in public until finally offering testimony in the case. to the degree that we wait to hear as a country and a congress what has happened in this event, because the fbi is conducting an investigation, it provides quarter for the us secret service not perhaps to reckon with the problems that are obvious to everyone. that was 'ust that are obvious to everyone. that was just one _ that are obvious to everyone. that wasjust one of — that are obvious to everyone. that wasjust one of the _ exchanges with up let me tell you of another. absolutely fascinating detail because the man who tried to kill former president trump conducted online research on lee harvey oswald, assassinated presidentjohn f. kennedy, that some of the testimony given at the session by christopher rae by those lawmakers with up he said that

thomas crooks became very focused on president trump and his rally and conducted a google search which asked how far away was oswald from kennedy for the that's absolutely fascinating detail. we've also heard from christopher ray and how he had a drone and use that and was about 200 metres away from the stage with a live stream that information about two hours before donald trump took to that stage. absolutely fascinating detail coming out of that hearing so that were keeping an eye account that will bring you anything significant over the next little while. staying in washington — and president biden will address the nation tonight — a defining political moment, as he explains fbi director in the us being questioned by politicians over the investigation into the attempted assassination of donald trump. meanwhile kamala harris is described novembers election between freedom and chaos. in a financial boost to her campaign the vice president seems says they've raised more than

hopes for america's future. as far as the republicans calling for president bidens to step aside, it's ridiculous. they are floundering because they just do ridiculous. they are floundering because theyjust do not know how to handle the firecracker that is vice president harris. in the fire that she has lived in the american people, they know that they are being left behind and all they have left to hold onto is trying to still poke at president biden. it's not going to work. the wave that is coming from such an amazing collection of groups across this country supporting the vice president is unprecedented. you said the republicans _ president is unprecedented. you said the republicans don't _ president is unprecedented. you said the republicans don't know- president is unprecedented. you said the republicans don't know how - president is unprecedented. you said the republicans don't know how to i the republicans don't know how to take on kamala harris. isn't it pretty clear hearing some of the attack lines, the san francisco liberal, that is can be one of the key lines that they attack her on. also being there for every key decision from joe biden, tying her to that? , u, ,

some hill fog around through the mornings. it's the same again tonight and through the day tomorrow, so plenty of cloud tonight, some showers just tracking along the south coast in an easterly direction. some more showers for northwest scotland. it will feel quite close and uncomfortable for sleeping, and temperatures at the very coolest point of the night may not be much below 1a—17 celsius for the vast majority of us. so very mild muggy feeling start to the day tomorrow, which is looking cloudier and a bit breezier than today. some more showers along the south coast, tracking up through parts of kent, maybe through the afternoon, and plenty more heavy downpours across northern ireland at times up through northwest scotland. there'll still be some breaks in the cloud, notably to the east of high ground wales and across parts of yorkshire and lincolnshire, as well as eastern scotland, of course, and that will help to lift the temperature. but then on friday, a different feel to things — look at that cold front sweep through, some fresher feeling air behind it, so friday a lot less humid. the air will be drier, there'll be more in the way of blue sky

and sunshine developing for most of us. still some showers, though. they'll be mostly out towards the north and the west, across northern ireland and across northwest scotland, blowing through into eastern scotland as well. a few showers across northern england and a few more isolated showers for england and wales. but here, it's largely dry and the sunshine will help to boost the temperatures 19—2a celsius. and there's some warmer feeling weather too, coming our way as we head through the weekend. but saturday high pressure starts to build in from the southwest. still some showers at times, notably again out towards the west parts of northern scotland, perhaps northern england through western wales, but further south and east. although there will be some areas of cloud, there'll still be some sunny spells here and temperatures will be in the high teens at the low 20s. sunday, though, looking dry across the board. a few isolated showers, but generally dry and feeling a little warmer as well. there'll be some sunshine around. watch out for some more wet weather in the north west into the start of next week, but further south
