9:30 pm
of people coming onto the streets of caracas, we have seen tires burn on the bridges, and you can see there some of the protesters going out on that bridge had, throwing stones at the right police, and we were warned earlier in the programme that there would be more unrest over the election results at the weekend. nicolas maduro declared himself the winner of the presidential election, the government controlled electoral authority comparing that nicolas maduro 154 —— 51% of authority comparing that nicolas maduro154 —— 51% of the vote compared to his opposition. the government—controlled electoral authority claimed maduro won 51% of the vote compared with 44 for his rival, the former diplomat edmundo gonzalez urrutia. but it has been met with some scepticism in washington. we have serious concerns that the results announced does not reflect the will or the votes of the venezuelan people. it is critical that every vote be counted fairly and transparently, that election officials immediately share information with
9:31 pm
the opposition and independent observers without delay, and that the electoral authorities publish the detail tabulation of votes. some latin american countries — including colombia, which has friendly ties to maduro — also expressed scepticism of the results, as did spain, italy and other european nations. in the last hours, protests have erupted in the country. we got this reaction from the former presidential candidate alejandro pena esclusa, who was jailed by hugo chavez, and now lives in exile. this will continue until maduro accepts his defeat. the people in venezuela are enraged, not only sad but they are enraged, as i said before because they have been robbed and the population knows that maduro was defeated in a huge process, so nobody likes him any more.
9:32 pm
he has created a humanitarian crisis. a third of the population in venezuela had to flee of the country, so he is not giving any solutions, and everybody knows he robbed the elections, so people in venezuela are in the streets, and they are going to continue to be in the streets, and i believe that also, more international protest will start to coming, so the combinatino of international resistance and national resistance so the combination of international resistance and national resistance will make it impossible for maduro to stay in power much longer. we have been here before and seen election results at this inventors are aware people come onto the street to protest against an

election or having someone not enough to run, and therefore nonviolently, what do you think might be different this time? it opens the question of what happens but we have seen a rise in authoritarianism around world and the rising election denial, we so what happened in the united states after the 2020 election, so it is such a volatile situation and also direct implications for the united states because of the number of people who have played under maduro and chavez which is led to a crisis of the border, so it has so many medications not for the nation surrounded but for our underworld. does the united states has any leverage on the situation? there try to kee ice leverage on the situation? there try to keep ice on _ leverage on the situation? there try to keep ice on it _ leverage on the situation? there try to keep ice on it but _ leverage on the situation? there try to keep ice on it but it's _ leverage on the situation? there try to keep ice on it but it's all - leverage on the situation? there try to keep ice on it but it's all in - to keep ice on it but it's all in predictable right now what would happen. if president maduro can write out the turmoil, the postelection turmoil and cling to office. ~ ., postelection turmoil and cling to office. ~ . , ., , postelection turmoil and cling to office. ~ . ., , ., postelection turmoil and cling to office. . ., , ., , office. what message does that send to other budding _ office. what message does that send to other budding autocrats _ office. what message does that send to other budding autocrats in - to other budding autocrats in the region? it

9:35 pm
that they want to nip this in the but as quickly as possible because there will be a feeling around the nicolas maduro team that if this gets a hold in the next 24—48 hours, they won't be to stop it, but while we have been watching and bringing the pictures to you, more and more people have been coming out onto the streets in the last few hours, and it would appear in the centre of caracas they are to be getting more violent as well. we are also watching these pictures from texas, where joe biden texas, wherejoe biden this hour has set out these proposed reforms. out his proposed reforms to the supreme court, including term limits for the ninejustices, a binding code of conduct and a constitutional amendment that would limit presidential immunity. it's quite the turnaround forjoe biden who by instinct is an institutionalist, he has long defended the separation of powers. byt in an op—ed in the washington post this morning he said recent rulings had changed his mind.
9:36 pm
"what is happening now is not normal," he wrote. "it undermines the public�*s confidence in the court's decisions, including those impacting personalfreedoms. we now stand in a breach. kamala harris has endorsed these proposals. though it is worth stating they have very little chance of ever being approved in what is a deeply—divided congress and with just 99 days to go to election day. as we look at these pictures from texas, why doing this now? these issues won't _ texas, why doing this now? these issues won't move _ texas, why doing this now? these issues won't move democratic - texas, why doing this now? these - issues won't move democratic voters, there is no chance any of us, i suspect i suspect it will never be active before the november election, but with his decision to overturn roe v wade and increase research as an abortion with the country, and the news, that at least one supreme courtjustice, gifts and financial things he has received from donors,
9:37 pm
that he did not disclose, there's a lot of activism on the side among liberal voters and to something that would galvanise democratic voters. the republicans seem to have done this very well in recent elections. the supreme court has been on the ballot for republicans, and it has brought out the base, so the tactic they are trying to steal? whichever side, riaht they are trying to steal? whichever side. right now _ they are trying to steal? whichever side, right now the _ they are trying to steal? whichever side, right now the court _ they are trying to steal? whichever side, right now the court is - they are trying to steal? whichever side, right now the court is leading| side, right now the court is leading very much that right, so not surprisingly democrats aren't happy and republicans are happy, but there was a time the court leaned to the left, so we've seen this before, but among voters, young voters of colour, and they were vultures, there is a lot of energy around this issue. it there is a lot of energy around this issue. , ., ., ., ., ,., , issue. it is a good reason why it republicans _ issue. it is a good reason why it republicans would _ issue. it is a good reason why it republicans would not - issue. it is a good reason why it republicans would not want - issue. it is a good reason why it republicans would not want to l issue. it is a good reason why it - republicans would not want to engage with this, not least because they have the support of the courts, but there's some sense as outsiders looking in that there is some sense

the last few hours, it is not more serious in the venezuelan capital. as we have told you through the programme, lots of unrest in the country after this weekends election results, nicolas maduro claiming victory in the election, but none of the voting tallies given to the opposition and pulling ahead of this election suggests it was the opposition that had the support of the country, but what we have seen in the last hour or so is the riot police coming out onto the streets to try to contain this violence that has been erupting, notjust in the city centre, we have seen tires being burnt on bridges, people walking into the city from outside caracas this afternoon and now seeing tear gas being fired. the scene riot police with shields and people throwing rocks in the direction of those police. is the feeling, i think, direction of those police. is the feeling, ithink, that direction of those police. is the feeling, i think, that the my dual regina's try to get on top of this before it gets out of hand, what all

9:51 pm
the title again. never give up. give everything,. i knew victor was going to be fast on the last lap even if i could not get rid of them, he left a gap and i had to go for it, so that is racing, some people might view it differently, and i wanted to show what sport is, not giving up. team gb's first gold of the games came in team eventing, another 0lympic title retained. tokyo 2020 champions laura collett and tom mcewan, joined by world number one ros canter, sealed victory in the final showjumping stage at versailles. host nation france took the silver with japan the bronze. while collett also went on to win a bronze in the individual event. i don't think at the right words to give itjustice, butjust a phenomenal expense from start to

much more on the website including the medal winners and reaction from them and the his appointment from team gb today. had there for that. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. it's been quite a pleasant day for scotland and northern ireland, many places dry with some spells of sunshine, temperatures a bit above average. but across england and wales, we've had clear blue skies like these. and in the hottest spots around the capital, i've seen a few places get up to 29. could this be the start of a heatwave? well, yes, it could, because we need three consecutive days with temperatures of around 27 or 28 for a heatwave to be declared, and i think between monday, tuesday and wednesday, we're quite likely to see that across parts of south—east england, east anglia and the midlands. so for some, monday represented the first day of a heatwave. 0vernight tonight, after such a hot day, those temperatures taking a while to drop away, particularly across eastern areas of england.
9:56 pm
a weak weather front could bring an odd shower, really, to parts of scotland and northern ireland, although many places will probably stay dry. temperatures by the end of the night, down to around 12 to 15 degrees for most. 0n into tuesday's forecast, more of the same, really, for england and wales, the heat really building. looks like being the hottest day of this week. for northern ireland and scotland, a bit of patchy cloud, a few isolated showers across the far north possible, but most places will stay dry and fine. with temperatures getting well into the 20s here, it should feel quite pleasant. but a hot day for england and wales. top temperatures up to 32 degrees in london. the significance of that is the current highest temperature of the year so far is 31.9, so we're going to be there or thereabouts on tuesday for the hottest day of the year so far. for wednesday, again, a lot of dry weather, could be an odd isolated shower around, but for most, it's another fine day with warm spells of sunshine, hot weather continuing across parts of england in particular — temperatures 30 degrees or so in london. but then we see a change to thundery weather conditions on into thursday.
9:57 pm
now, the amount of rain we're going to get from these thunderstorms on thursday is going to vary a lot from place to place. some places might not get very much, but others could see the best part of a month's worth of rain over the space of a few hours, and so there is the threat of seeing some flash flooding. we are going to firm up on the areas most likely to see that over the next few days. temperatures still well above average, but starting to come down a little bit. and then for friday and the weekend, this area of low pressure starts to influence the weather from the atlantic. now, around that, it will be quite windy across the north—west with plenty of showers. in the south, there's a question mark as to how much rain we eventually see. bye for now.
