who criticised mr walz�*s military record. wednesday was the first full day of the harris—walz swing state tour. as they appeared in front of voters in wisconsin at a rally in eau claire, kamala harris played up her running mate's midwestern roots. it's one of several us battlegrounds that are likely to decide the election. with just 90 days to go until election day, governor walz told voters what he believes he brings to the ticket — referencing his rural upbringing, military service, and teaching career. he also accused former president trump of attacking the working class. this election is about which direction this country wasn't going go in. we know donald trump — don't believe the act, he is playing dumb. he knows exactly what project 2025 is going to do. destroy unions,

wreck the economy for the ultra— wealthy. we know that when he goes back, he is picking up and doing the same things he did when he was there last time. except — except — you will know this, it will be much, much worse when he comes back. well, my colleague sumi somaskanda has been out on the campaign trail today following kamala harris — and shejoins me from detroit where they just held another rally. what has it been like so far? the mood he was absolutely electric. people have been trickling on all afternoon and the anticipation was really building. just behind me, this is an airport hangar and it was packed to the brim and even went out onto the airfield. you saw people standing out there and then effposs two pulled up and then effposs two pulled up and when —— air force two. and when they came out, the crowd was absolutely deafening. the electricity, you could really feel it. when they spoke on

stage as well, they painted the picture of them being the future for america where as they seek donald trump and jd vance as representing the past. there was a big union presence at this rally today stop the united auto workers have laid their president shawn fain spoke. he has officially endorsed kamala harris for president and those workers told us they see kamala harris and tim walz as the only choice in novemberfor and tim walz as the only choice in november for president. and tim walz as the only choice in novemberfor president. they see them as fighting for the working class, fighting the workers�* rights as well. i should say there was a small commotion at some point during kamala harris�*s remarks. a small group of israel gaza protesters who had raised their voice and were fairly quickly drowned out by the crowd but it is important to know that because right here in this battleground state of michigan there is a large arab—american community who has been very frustrated with presidentjoe frustrated with president joe biden frustrated with presidentjoe biden and as well vice president kamala harris over that israel does a policy of it all in all, the people we spoke

to hear absolutely believe kamala harris and tim walz can win this state. we spoke to a few of them before they took to the stage. let�*s hear them. because she is qualified. in fact— because she is qualified. in fact overqualified. and it is high — fact overqualified. and it is high time we have a female head of state — high time we have a female head of state here in the usa. we had — of state here in the usa. we had them _ of state here in the usa. we had them in mexico, south america. _ had them in mexico, south america, all over the place. and — america, all over the place. and the _ america, all over the place. and the person that's running against — and the person that's running against her, and he will remain nameless, _ against her, and he will remain nameless, i think he is running scared — nameless, i think he is running scared now. he has no programme. scared now. he has no programme-— scared now. he has no programme. scared now. he has no rouramme. ~ , , , scared now. he has no rourammep , , , , programme. anybody but trump is the most important _ programme. anybody but trump is the most important thing - programme. anybody but trump is the most important thing to - programme. anybody but trump is the most important thing to me. . the most important thing to me. if my— the most important thing to me. if my dog — the most important thing to me. if my dog was_ the most important thing to me. if my dog was running _ the most important thing to me. if my dog was running i- the most important thing to me. if my dog was running i would i if my dog was running i would io if my dog was running i would go for— if my dog was running i would go for him _ if my dog was running i would go for him. anybody but - if my dog was running i would . go for him. anybody but trump. i'm not— go for him. anybody but trump. i'm not thrilled _ go for him. anybody but trump. i'm not thrilled about _ go for him. anybody but trump. i'm not thrilled about harris, . i'm not thrilled about harris, i'm not thrilled about harris, i didht— i'm not thrilled about harris, ididh't like _ i'm not thrilled about harris, ididn't like her— i'm not thrilled about harris, i didn't like her first - i'm not thrilled about harris, i didn't like her first pick, - ididn't like her first pick, her— i didn't like her first pick, her first— ididn't like her first pick, her first important- i didn't like her first pick, i her first important decision picking _ her first important decision picking tim _ her first important decision picking tim walz, - her first important decision picking tim walz, i- her first important decision picking tim walz, i think. her first important decision| picking tim walz, i think he her first important decision i picking tim walz, i think he is ok but— picking tim walz, i think he is ok but they— picking tim walz, i think he is ok but they were _ picking tim walz, i think he is ok but they were better - ok but they were better candidates _ ok but they were better candidates but - ok but they were better candidates but i - ok but they were better candidates but i want i ok but they were better candidates but i want toj ok but they were better - candidates but i want to learn more — candidates but i want to learn more about _ candidates but i want to learn more about both _ candidates but i want to learn more about both of _ candidates but i want to learn more about both of them. -

since withdrawing from the presidential race, joe biden says he�*s not at all confident there�*ll be a peaceful transfer of power if donald trump loses november�*s election. speaking to our us partners, cbs news, he said that people should take donald trump�*s threats of a "bloodbath" seriously. in the wide—ranging sit down with robert costa, which airs on cbs sunday morning, mr biden also discussed his decision to stand down and his vision for america. here�*s a snippet of what he has said. are you confident that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in january 2025? ii will be a peaceful transfer of power in january 2025? if trump wins, power in january 2025? if trump wins. no. _ power in january 2025? if trump wins. no. i _ power in january 2025? if trump wins. no. i am _ power in january 2025? if trump wins, no, i am not _ power in january 2025? if trump wins, no, i am not confident- power in january 2025? if trump wins, no, i am not confident at i wins, no, i am not confident at all. wins, no, i am not confident at ait~ i_ wins, no, i am not confident at ait~ i mean. _ wins, no, i am not confident at all. i mean, if trump loses, im— all. i mean, if trump loses, i'm not— all. i mean, if trump loses, i'm not confident at all. he means— i'm not confident at all. he means what he says. we don't take _ means what he says. we don't take him — means what he says. we don't take him seriously. he means it. take him seriously. he means it all— take him seriously. he means it all the _ take him seriously. he means it. all the stuff about if we lose — it. all the stuff about if we lose they will be a bloodbath. look— lose they will be a bloodbath. look what they are trying to do now look what they are trying to do how in— look what they are trying to do how in the _ look what they are trying to do now in the local election districts where people count the votes... they are putting people — the votes... they are putting pe0pie on_ the votes... they are putting people on places and states,

you cant— people on places and states, you can't love your country onty— you can't love your country only when you are going to win. next, tens of thousands of anti racism protestors filled streets across england on wednesday — in response to nearly a week of rioting led by supporters of the far—right. police had been monitoring more than 100 far—right protests which were planned for wednesday. there were fears it would lead to another night of violence — in the past week there have been riots in many parts of the country, fuelled by online disinformation which blaming the murder of three girls in north west england on a muslim immigrant. but instead, the anti—immigration protests were eclipsed by large, peaceful demonstrations against racism and violence. like here in bristol — where a major far right march was planned. and in liverpool, where counter protestors gathered, to show support for refugees — as was the case, in brighton. one of the largest gatherings was in the east london neighbourhood of walthamstow. daniel sandford was there. refugees are welcome here!

after police concerns that could be widespread violence by the far right tonight, what we saw was a wave of largely peaceful demonstrations against the far right. this was walthamstow in north—east london. the office of some immigration lawyers had been on the list of far right targets. here in walthamstow a few thousand people have blocked the main shopping street. crowd cheering it�*s designed to counteract the far right parlance of the last few days. the concern about possible violence meant police had enacted their national mobilisation plan. we�*ve changed our tactics in the last couple of days, so besides marshalling more officers, we�*re brigading some of them at key strategic locations across the country to give us more agility to respond to wherever the protests

are most intense so we can respond with agility and show overwhelming force so that the criminals and thugs on the streets do not succeed. the police will be there to respond to any violence and criminality we see on our streets. there is no place for that on our uk streets and the police will do theirjob, like they have done, exceptionally well. bristol was among the other cities where anti—racism protests were seen tonight. well, i saw unity. i see people came together to form this unity. like the old saying says, you know, divided we fall, together we stand. ijust felt like i needed to be here to kind of help protect them. you can see a lot of places are boarded up, so there has been a lot of fear about what could happen, and itjust felt really important that we were here to, yeah, to protect our community. there was some tension in aldershot, where opposing protesters shouting "stop the boats" on the one side

and "refugees are welcome" here on the other, had to be separated by police. in southampton, a small group of anti—migrant protesters were outnumbered by anti—racism campaigners. while in accrington in lancashire, a group of british asians walking through the town were embraced by pub—goers. anti—racism demonstrations were seen in several other major cities, including newcastle, where a few thousand packed parts of the west end. but as in london, there was no sign of the originally planned far right demonstration. daniel sandford, bbc news, walthamstow. jemma bicknell was one of the thousands who joined that counter protest in walthamstow. jemma commuter part on the counter protest today in walthamstow. tell us about what it was like to be there today. it was just a really lovely, warm, jubilant, defiant atmosphere, really. it was

bunch and we reallyjust wanted to show that we don�*t stand for that, particularly in london, we�*re such a multicultural society and we love living side—by—side and so we wanted tojust send that side—by—side and so we wanted to just send that message that we won�*t stand for it. find to just send that message that we won't stand for it.— we won't stand for it. and did see any of— we won't stand for it. and did see any of the _ we won't stand for it. and did i see any of the anti-immigration see any of the anti—immigration protests then? because they were planned in many parts of england including in walthamstow which is why you and others decided to go and counter protest in the first place. counter protest in the first lace. ~ , . place. we were expecting them to turn up _ place. we were expecting them to turn up and _ place. we were expecting them to turn up and we _ place. we were expecting them to turn up and we waited - place. we were expecting them to turn up and we waited for. place. we were expecting them to turn up and we waited for a l to turn up and we waited for a few hours and there was lots of sharing and excitement and chants and theyjust never showed. even some shops and cafes were open on the side of the street and letting people go in so although obviously lots of places were boarded up, some of them had opened up for the counter protests and so there was just this sort of street party atmosphere in the end and we didn�*t see any edl

showers here, whereas further southwards across parts of england and wales really limited to just glimpses of sunshine. it was pretty cloudy for much of the day. looking out in the atlantic, we�*ve got another area of low pressure that�*s set to bring some damp weather in initially thursday morning, as this warm front spreads its way in. mind you, we have got some drizzle around at the moment. ahead of that feature across wales and western areas of england are not patchy drizzle for the south—east. we�*ve got some showers for the north west of scotland, but the skies continue to clear in east scotland and north east england, so it�*s here where we�*re going to have the brightest start to the day on thursday with a fair bit of morning, sunshine, any sunshine for you staying there in southeast england? short—lived. it�*s going to turn quite cloudy, but staying on the bright side, the damp and drizzly weather for wales and western england replaced by more general outbreaks of rain through the day, the rain heavy as it swings across northern ireland into scotland, northern england and north wales. top temperatures running into the low 20s. now, through thursday night that we�*ll see that rain band continue its way northwards and eastwards, the rain turning heavy for a time in northern scotland before clearing out of the way, and there may well
