firefighters in greece start to bring a series of blazes threatening the capital athens under control. and a rare view of the titanic�*s secrets, we've been given special access to thousands of objects brought up from the sea bed. coming up on bbc news: as the dust settles on the paris olympics, attention turns to the next games — la 2028 — and the challenges faced by the organisers. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. a review into the care of a man who killed three people in nottingham last year has found what it called �*a series of errors, omissions and misjudgements' in the way he was treated.

valdo calocane was psychotic and suffering from paranoid delusions, and the care quality commission says if the system doesn't change, there's still a risk to public safety. calocane admitted stabbing ian coates, barnaby webber and grace o'malley kumar to death, and is serving an indefinite hospital order for manslaughter. our social affairs editor alison holt reports. for the families of those who were killed by valdo calocane who have been campaigning for answers, today's report finally sets out the failings in his care that led to that terrible day in nottingham in june last year. the morning when calocane fatally stad 19—year—old students grace o'malley—kumar and barnaby webber and caretaker in coats. cctv picked up calocane walking the streets for hours beforehand. the report found he was acutely unwell with paranoid schizophrenia but mental health assessments missed key details and minimised the risk he posed to

really important because they want to make sure that people at senior levels within organisations are held to account for their actions. the other part of a public inquiry as it can draw all the threads together of what has happened. we have had this report from the cqc but we also have another report from the nhs coming up another report from the nhs coming up in months to come which will look at how the different health services interacted together or didn't interacted together or didn't interact together in valdo calocane's case. that public inquiry could pull those threads together and the reason why it is so important is because this is about the treatment for patients, keeping them safe, but also in those extreme cases, keeping the public safe as well and trying to prevent future tragedies. well and trying to prevent future tracedies. �* _, well and trying to prevent future tracedies. �* ., ,, well and trying to prevent future tracedies. �* ., ~' ,, a man has been charged with attempted murder after an 11—year—old girl was stabbed in leicester square in central london. she's been treated for serious but not life—threatening injuries. ioan pintaru has appeared

in court this morning. let's speak to our reporter nickjohnson. nick, what more can you tell us? leicester square, the heart of london's west end, usually the site of hollywood film premiers. yesterday, a crime scene when police were called to reports of a stabbing yesterday morning. prosecutors and court this morning alleged that 32—year—old romanian national ioan pintaru approach two tourists at random, an 11—year—old girl and her mother, before placing the girl in a headlock and stabbing her eight times with a steak knife. it is alleged that is when member of the public intervened and held ioan pintaru before the police arrived. that girl remains in hospital with serious but not life threatening injuries, although the court says it is thought she will have to go, undergo plastic surgery as a result of them. mr pintaru appeared in court this morning in a great

tracksuit. he spoke through a translator to confirm his details. he looked away when details of the incident were read out. he has been remanded in custody and is set to appear at the old bailey next month. thank you, nick. a 13—year—old girl has pleaded guilty to violent disorder at a protest outside a hotel in aldershot. she is among dozens of people appearing in court today over their roles in the recent riots, sparked by the killing of three children in southport. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford joins us now. daniel, what more do we know? today's earrings have shown the future and rub lee mack a variety of the cases going through the court. first the incident in aldershot at the potters international hotel. among the people appearing in court this morning, a 13—year—old girl who admitted her role in the violent disorder. she was appearing at basingstoke magistrates' court and will be sentenced at a later date. but also today, for example, ian

ward, who admitted assaulting a female police officer in brighton. he was sentenced to 16 months at hove crown court today. john henry, 25—year—old who pleaded guilty to looting a lush cosmetics store in hull, he will probably be sentenced later today. we believe more than 150 people have been charged with the most serious charge of violent disorder according to the statistics of the bbc has been gathering. of the people that have been charged in relation to the disorder overall, more than 50 of them were under the age of 18. more than 50 of them were under the are of 18. more than 50 of them were under the aaeof18. ., ~ more than 50 of them were under the aaeof18. ., ukraine's military says it now controls almost 1,000 kilometres of territory inside russia. it's the biggest cross—border incursion by ukrainian forces since the war began. thousands of russians have been told to leave their homes near the fighting. 0ur security correspondent frank gardner has the latest. one week into ukraine's

incursion into russia, the kremlin's forces are scrambling to push back its advance. extra units have been sent as ukraine now claims to be holding up to 1,000 square kilometres of russian territory. russian residents in the kursk 0blast are being evacuated as the fighting continues. around 180,000 civilians have so far been moved — many shocked that russia has been invaded for the first time since the second world war. in ukraine, public morale has been boosted by this unexpected turn of events. russia still occupies nearly a fifth of the country, but president zelensky is hoping this incursion will strengthen his hand in future peace negotiations. translation: russia brought war i to others, and now it's coming home. we can see how useful this can be for bringing peace closer. russia must be forced into peace. but in moscow at this emergency meeting, there was

no talk of peace, only retaliation. the government of kursk region started to describe the situation when he was cut off by a clearly irritated president putin. "we will kick the invaders out", he said, calling ukraine's incursion a provocation. russians have even been donating clothes to the evacuees. few could have imagined russians would be evacuees in their own country. there are people who have lost their homes. they need shelter, they need food, they need supplies. this russian defence ministry video claims ukraine's invading forces are being beaten back, but eight days into this operation they are still there and showing no sign yet of withdrawing. frank gardner, bbc news. let's get the latest now from our russia editor steve rosenberg in moscow. steve, what's the reaction been in russia?

lets start with the president. i think the language used by president putin in recent days to describe the ukrainian incursion is interesting and it is telling. he has used phrases like "the situation close can in the border area, though provocation. the one word we have not heard from vladimir putin is the word invasion and i suspect that is a conscious decision by the kremlin. it sends a message to the russian people that are ok, the situation is serious but it is controllable. it is containable, no need to panic. our russians panicking? i don't get any sense here in moscow were the sense of panic but there is i would say a deep sense of resignation from people that yet another dramatic development after a string of dramas that people have witnessed over the last two and a half years.— last two and a half years. steve, thank yom _ firefighters in greece say they're starting to bring wildfires that were threatening the capital

athens under control. high temperatures and strong winds combined to create a series of blazes, which have now been reduced to scattered hotspots. thousands of people have been evacuted from their homes around the area. lauren moss has the latest. for days, wildfires have scorched the north—eastern suburbs of the greek capital, consuming anything in their path. pockets of fire tore through buildings, decimating flats, houses and cars, leaving burned—out shells behind. soldiersjoined hundreds of firefighters to try and stop the spread of the flames — some leaping more than 25 metres high. the efforts of helicopters hampered by thick smoke. siren wails on the outskirts of athens, thousands of residents fled their homes. others tried to protect their properties with buckets of water and hoses, like 64—year—old anna.

translation: early in the morning, we were constantly receiving - messages telling us to evacuate. we were terrified. we thought the fire would go elsewhere but, suddenly, it came to our homes. we panicked and evacuated then but now we've returned to save whatever we can. many are picking up the pieces. sakis is 70 and says he's lost everything. translation: my house, it was utterly destroyed. l even the walls fell down. leaving the house, the only thing i cared about was saving my dogs, so i left everything behind — money, belongings, everything. two people are confirmed to have died. according to the health ministry, 66 people have been treated for injuries. greece has just experienced the warmestjune and july on record. i don't think that people understand how much this is linked to rising

heat globally and how much we really have to understand that we have to prepare and build resilience towards climate change and extreme weather phenomenon. the worst of the fires have now been reduced to scattered hotspots smouldering in athens and along the coast. with high temperatures showing no real sign of easing, questions remain about how greece can recover and prepare for the devastation this can bring. lauren moss, bbc news. our correspondentjess parkerjoins me now. are you seeing signs of these fires are starting to be brought under control? ~ . , , control? well, as we were 'ust hearin: , control? well, as we were 'ust hearing. what i control? well, as we were 'ust hearing, what the i control? well, as we were 'ust hearing, what the fire i control? well, as we were just hearing, what the fire service | control? well, as we were just i hearing, what the fire service is telling us is they are not now tackling one big majorfire front as they were before, rather these scattered hotspots but it is still a pretty live situation. i can hear the water planes flying over my head

here, so the authorities still clearly at work. but there has been some interesting words as well from the authorities, essentially defending their response over the last few days, saying they faced insurmountable conditions ultimately, with high winds and drought, highly flammable forest as well because there has been criticism that again a wild fire has broken out in the region and actually reached into parts of athens. one young woman i was just speaking to his friends house was badly damaged, she said not enough resources have been going into the fire service. for now, people evaluating the damage to their homes, to their businesses as well and we still do have a lot of heat here, dry heat, winds as well that pick up from time to time so conditions do remain potentially volatile. , ,, conditions do remain potentially volatile. ,, . ~ conditions do remain potentially volatile. ,, ., ~ the time is 1.16. our top story this afternoon. the families of three people stabbed to death in nottingham says

the organisations responsible for the killer's mental health care have �*blood on their hands'. and we'll get a rare view of the titanic�*s secrets, after we were given special access to thousands of objects brought up from the sea bed. coming up on bbc news, we hearfrom england captain leah williamson after she opens a new pitch in her hometown as part of a drive to provide more grassroots football facilities for and girls. donald trump has spent two hours on the social media platform x in conversation with its owner, elon musk, as part of his presidential election campaign in the us. he attacked rival candidate kamala harris, and talked about familiar themes like immigration and the cost of living. our north america correspondent tom batemanjoins us from washington. tom, this was mr trump speaking to a supporter of his, so was there much pushback

on the claims he made? not really, none at all to be honest with you. this was a much anticipated event. it started a0 minutes late after what elon musk said was a denial of service attack. that is when people try to overwhelm stream to put it out of service, although some experts are questioning whether it was in fact that. it wasn't as you suggest an interview, it was rather a series of quite sympathetic questions, both men speaking at length on some of those subjects you mentioned. including immigration and the economy, big themes in the election and comfortable areas of mr trump likes to talk about. what elon musk started by asking him about the attempted assassination, mr musk said it showed american strength underfire and donald trump described it as a miracle that he survived. i described it as a miracle that he survived. ~ ., , described it as a miracle that he

been opened and adjourned. yesterday, his family confirmed he took his own life, and had suffered for years with depression and anxiety. ellie price is at woking coroner's court. ellie, what's been said this morning? it was a brief hearing here this morning. the court heard the body of a 55—year—old was found at around 8.30 on the morning of august the ath at esher railway station and he had been struck by a train. the inquest was adjourned and a full hearing will be heard in due course. the coroner also offered his sincere condolences notjust the coroner also offered his sincere condolences not just of the family of graham thorpe but also to those he said had been touched by his life and career, and what a life and career that was. 100 test appearances, 82 one—day internationals, a career that spanned 17 years, and he was widely viewed as one of the finest batsmen of his generation. just yesterday,

graham thorpe's family confirmed he had taken his own life and were keen to raise awareness of his struggles with depression and anxiety. his wife amanda said he had been mentally strong on the cricket field but actually that mental health can affect anybody, and they also confirmed he had made an attempt to take his own life back in 2022. i think there is a sense from the family they want to raise awareness and help other people if they can. there's even talk potentially of opening a foundation in his name. mental health charities have praised their openness about this, so some positivity can be taken from such a sad end on such a celebrated life. thank you. and remember, if you are suffering you can find help on bbc action line. iran has dismissed calls from countries including the uk,

to hold back from launching a retaliatory attack on israel. last night, sir keir starmer spoke on the phone with iran's new president to try and to defuse tensions in the midde east. iran's acting foreign minister said the country would respond to the killing of hamas's political leader, ismail haniyeh in tehran, at the "right time" in the "appropriate" manner. a new vaccine aimed at protecting newborn babies from a highly infectious illness will be offered to all women across the uk who are more than 28 weeks pregnant. around 90% of children contract respiratory sin—city al virus — or rsv — before the age of two. most of the time it causes a mild illness but in severe cases, it can lead to pneumonia or even prove fatal. health experts estimate the vaccine programme could lead to 70,000 fewer cases. banksy�*s latest artwork of a rhino, which looks as though it is mounting a car, was defaced after a few hours of being unveiled. it shows a rhino appearing to get up close and personal with a nissan micra in charlton,

in south—east london. why did you do that? butjust a few hours after it was confirmed as a genuine banksy, this happened. a man ina a man in a balaclava tagged it with a graffiti symbol while jeering crowds looked on. new figures suggest that wage growth continued to slow, although average earnings are still outpacing the cost of living. the office for national statistics also suggested that uk's unemployment rate had fallen slightly in the three months to the end ofjune. our chief economics correspondent dharshini david joins us. and dharshini, it's a bit ofa mixed bag — what does this tell us about the jobs market? indeed. there are two questions to be answered, what does it mean for the prospects forjob hunters, and are you likely to get a decent pay rise? mixed answers from these figures because on the one hand we have the unemployment rate falling

to a.2% in the latest three months. many economists had feared that would rise because of concerns about the higher cost many employers are facing right now. however, that sounds nice, but the statisticians at the official statistics office tell us that we have to treat these numbers carefully because the survey on which they are based is not entirely reliable. not many people are providing the answers right now. other indicators, the number of vacancies for example, that is falling and the number of redundancies is rising so still some signs thejobs redundancies is rising so still some signs the jobs market may be cooling off. elsewhere wage growth is 5.a%, a bit slower than in recent months but the key thing is it is outpacing the rise in the cost of living quite comfortably for many people at the moment. but there is another set of people who watch those numbers, there was at the bank of england, so a third question, what does it mean for interest rates? we have a separate survey today showing

grocery prices rose to the —— compared to the previous month for the first time in over a year. some are questioning when the rate rise will happen but official inflation data is due out tomorrow morning. if you want more answers about what that tells us, tune in tomorrow and we will have some answers. thanks for that, dharshini. _ scientists in africa are expected to declare a public health emergency over concerns about a new outbreak of mpox. cases of the highly infectious disease, formerly known as monkey pox, have spread quickly after first appearing in the democratic republic of congo. there've been 27,000 cases since last year, and more than 1,000 deaths. our health correspondent dominic hughes reports. across central and southern africa, cases of mpox are surging. the virus starts with flu—like symptoms but is then followed by a rash and blisters. it's highly infectious, and in places like this refugee camp in the democratic republic of congo, it can spread quickly.

translation: when she was infected, she had a high fever and then - she started to get lesions on her body. she had rashes on her arms, on her abdomen and even on her tongue. i'd been told it was a serious illness that could kill her, so i took her to hospital. new variants of the mpox virus are helping it to spread. by the end ofjuly, this year has seen well over 1a,000 cases and more than a50 deaths. the vast majority have been in the drc, but the virus has now been detected in 15 other countries. compared to last year, cases are up by 160%, deaths by nearly 20%. while most people recover, the virus claims the lives of around 5% of adults but one in ten children. the african centre for disease control is poised to declare this outbreak a public health emergency, but so far, these new variants have not yet been detected in the uk.

as the cases have moved into different countries where we have some travel arrangements, then obviously we will keep an eye out for that, but we have changed, uh, ensured our testing systems will pick this up. we have contingency planning arrangements, we've increased our surveillance. once again, a highly infectious virus that can prove fatal looks set to pose a serious challenge to health systems in some of africa's poorest countries. dominic hughes, bbc news. our africa correspondent simi jolaosojoins us now from lagos. simi, what will this afternoon's announcement mean in practice? this expected declaration of a public health emergency by africa's centers for disease control in the next half an hour will prompt african governments to mobilise their resources, to coordinate their response. this would include

ensuring adequate medical aid and medical supplies in affected areas, increased surveillance at airports, and also increased public awareness around the outbreak. the african cdc's director—general has said that lessons were learned from covid and this time around they will be more proactive. they won't sit back and depend on the rest of the world. the african union has already approved a 10 million us dollar package to assist the cdc's efforts in combating the outbreak. this sort of declaration on a global level would usually be done by the world health organization, and its director general has already convened an emergency committee for advice on whether the outbreak should be of international concern.— international concern. simi, thank ou. ever since the wreck of the titanic was found

on the ocean floor in 1985, explorers have been returning to bring back objects that tell us more about the fate of the ship, and the lives of its passengers and crew. thousands of items have now been brought to the surface, and many are securely stored in a huge room forfuture research. our science editor rebecca morelle has been given rare access to see them. relics from the most famous maritime disaster in history. from parts of the ship to passengers' belongings, everything here is a reminder of a tragedy at sea more than 100 years ago. i can't reveal the location of where i am. all i can say is that this warehouse is somewhere in atlanta, because what's inside here is incredibly precious. thousands of items recovered from the titanic, and every single one of them tells a story. this is a really beautiful little fashionable bag. and it belonged to marian meanwell. she was a 63—year—old milliner, which means she did all the little detail work on hats and dresses. she was travelling to the us to be with her daughter, who was recently widowed. inside it was a medical card.

all third—class passengers had to show they weren't bringing disease into the us. but it also reveals a twist of fate. what's really interesting is that we can see she was originally supposed to sail on the majestic. she actually got re—routed onto titanic. so unlucky. i mean, it's amazing this has survived. but you can...there's a photograph. we have very few photographs that survived. but this little picture we think is of her mother, but it's just a little bit of an image of a woman left. so, unfortunately, ms meanwell did not make it. she was one of the people who perished. being able to tell her story and have these objects is really important because, otherwise, you know, 1,500 names, she's just another name on the list. the titanic sank in 1912 and lies at the bottom of the atlantic. all of the items were recovered from a debris field that surrounds the wreck, where the contents of the ship spilled out as it split apart.

so this champagne bottle — we have several others, as well — survived on the floor of the ocean for decades and actually still had its contents inside of it. there's a lot of bottles on the ocean floor and a lot of, like, stock pots and kitchen pots, because titanic actually broke up around one of the kitchens. so itjust kind of littered this debris all over the ocean floor. some artefacts collected from the sea floor also come from those who survived. there was a perfume salesman on board and he actually had over 90 of these little perfume vials. and so you can actually still smell them. that's really — that's mad. after more than 100 years and all that time at the bottom of the ocean, you can still smell the perfume. yeah, and they're still so potent. they belonged to adolf saalfeld, one of 700 people who were rescued from the ship. he was travelling second class. amazingly, he survived. he went on to live in england after the sinking. he had passed by the time we found

this, but it's my understanding that he did live with a bit of guilt, survivor's guilt. titanic was on her maiden voyage, travelling from southampton to the us, when she hit an iceberg. the ship, made from thousands of thick steel plates, was thought to be unsinkable. the items retrieved are put on display in exhibitions around the world. rms titanic inc have the only salvage rights to the ship. what do they say to those who think the wreck�*s a grave site that should be left alone? titanic is something that we want to respect and we want to make sure that we're preserving the memory because not everyone can go down to titanic, not everyone can go to the ship, and we want to be able to bring that to the public. the company's latest expedition has identified more objects they'd like to bring back. who knows what they'll find and the details each item may tell. rebecca morelle, bbc news, atlanta, georgia. a reminder of our top headline this afternoon:

the families of three people stabbed to death in nottingham says the organisations responsible for the killer's mental health care have �*blood on their hands'. and just after arriving back home after the paris games, team gb�*s olympians are already out trying to inspire the next generation of competitors. we'll have a full forecast in the next half hour, but it's time now for a quick look at the weather. here's helen. what a dramatic weather day yesterday with all the lightning, thunder, the hottest day of the year. it stepped down a little today but we do have weather fronts straddling the uk today and tomorrow. a brief ridge of high pressure follows, then another active weather front brings more rain through thursday and friday. it looks like by the time we get to the weekend, the azores high returns which means drier and brighter weather with sunshine, but not as

hot because the wind is coming from the west but more on that in about half an hour. thank you. a bbc investigation has found that a priest in blackburn who was assessed as a potential risk to children and young people was given a six—figure pay—off by the church of england. canon andrew hindley was subject to five police investigations, including into allegations of sexual assault, but wasn't charged. he has always strongly denied any wrongdoing. our religion editor aleem maqbool reports. a cathedral — meant to be a place of harmony and sanctuary — but at its heart a secret, kept out of the public eye for decades, until now. good morning and welcome to blackburn cathedral. for more than 30 years, canon andrew hindley worked in the blackburn diocese. over that time, he faced allegations of abuse, including sexual assault. we've now discovered when he left in 2022, it was with a payoff believed to be around £250,000.

when i was first ordained, i imagined that i'd be a priest forever. rowena pailing was a senior blackburn cathedral priest who resigned in protest at the payoff. the message that that sends to victims and survivors is absolutely horrific. so when there were senior clergy, bishops, saying, "oh, this is wonderful, it's all resolved, a settlement has been reached", expecting me to be happy, i was devastated. canon hindley faced five police investigations. he was never charged and has always strongly denied any wrongdoing. but risk assessments commissioned by the church itself concluded he did pose a potential risk to children and young people. for years, the church failed to act effectively on the warnings. the first reaction seemed to be one of fear to take it on. joan, not her real name, says her relative made a complaint of sexual misconduct against canon hindley.

she won't talk about the allegations themselves, but says herfamily was deeply let down by the church. that fear seemed to revolve around the likelihood that the church could be brought down by this. a former bishop of blackburn even suggested she and herfamily move on. canon hindley was suspended, but restrictions on him weren't monitored. internal church investigations into him were dismissed and there were more allegations, as recently as 2018. the institution seemed fearful he would take legal action if he was removed. in the end, canon hindley was forced to retire early and accepted a large payment. the church says it was to settle a legal dispute and was their only option to remove him. i don't think anybody can be quite happy with the way that that situation was resolved. the current bishop of blackburn, philip north, was not in post when the settlement was made and says lessons need to be learned. but what about all the warnings the church had?

there is a grey area around risk assessments, and so a priest can have a risk assessment, which can indicate a level of risk, and the action — the powers of a diocesan bishop or a dsa are limited. there are people listening who will feel there's no grey area there. if a risk assessment comes along and says children are unsafe around a member of clergy, that's pretty black and white. i completely agree with you. i suppose the answer would be, but, actually, that priest hasn't done anything yet. it would depend on the findings of the risk assessment, but my view is that if a risk assessment says that a priest is a risk, ishould be able to take action. critics say whatever the state of the church's systems, the priority of its leaders should have been simply to keep people safe by whatever means and whatever the legal consequences. aleem maqbool, bbc news, in blackburn. and to hear more, you can listen to file on a,

if you follow the timeline at the autumn, it does look as if the best time will be before midnight because it looks like the trans drops of so given that we have got some clear sky, we may have a chance but we do have quite a bit of cloud across the country at the moment. this is tying in with this weather frontiers although it is clear at the moment i'm staying there with some sunshine across the midlands and east anglia, the saudis, albeit turning rather hazy and some isolated storms around. you'll have that cloud coming our way. you will see the rain and outbreaks of quite heavy rain and outbreaks of quite heavy rain stretching up towards the east of scotland, sunny spells and showers following on behind. a fresher, windier day here but still very warm. we have already had 27 across east anglia so the 28 are 29 before the end of play. the rain is trundling its way gradually eastwards, it is quite erratic and one or two showers are following on behind and original pressure build sensor that eases the wind, uses the cloud, the showers fade away and we get clearer skies would have rather chilly. four orfive if you're heading out to watch before midnight, it will probably be later

than that we get four or five but we should see clear skies. less likely for the south and east because of bad weather front but there is a transporter broken cloud around. you can see it will be a dreary start to the day across southern and eastern areas. some patchy rain around and misty, murky conditions will do most drivers scotland, northern ireland, wales and the south—west compared with today. more sunshine around. strong sunshine still but a cooler feeling day. when is not as strong. as we clear that cloud, as it is warm in the south as we go through tomorrow night, then we have well—defined marching in. this area of low pressure and it is going to be more heavy rain back in for scotland, overnight into thursday. trundling its way southwards from the central belt through the rush—hour and northern ireland, northern england and wales staying dry. still quite warm but definitely fresher air coming in behind that system as we pick up a westerly. 15 or16 system as we pick up a westerly. 15 or 16 across scotland. northern ireland is well thought of that is where the fans are still with us as

we go to thursday evening and overnight into friday and then back we might see some for their policies are running along the south as we go through friday as well but as i alluded to earlier, by the time it gets at the weekend, they have cleared away. it should be a mostly dry weekend. let's hope so. thank you. that is all for today's bbc news at one. thank you for watching. goodbye.

live from london. this is bbc news. in a public conversation plagued by technical problems, donald trump and elon musk discuss everything from global warming to the assassination attempt. i also heard people shout, bullets, bullets! get down, get down! because i moved out pretty nicely, pretty quickly. more evacuations from russian towns as ukraine says it now controls 1000 square kilometres of russian territory.

a man appears in court charged with attempted murder after an 11—year old girl was stabbed in london's leicester square. and banksy unveils his ninth animal artwork in as many days— this time at london zoo. hello, i'm lucy hockings, welcome to bbc news now, a 3 hours of fast—moving news, interviews and reaction. it was a conversation delayed by technical problems, but the world's richest man eventually had a two—hour public chat with former us president donald trump. it was broadcast on mr musk�*s social media platform, x. the discussion, which was not on camera, touched on immigration, global politics and much more. mr trump also said his attempted assassination now made him more of a believer in god. and was sharply critical of his presidential rival, kamala harris. what i can tell you is this, we cannot have a democrat. we cannot have her. she's incompetent. she's as bad as biden in a different. yeah. she hasn't done an interview

since this whole, uh, scam started. and say what you want.
