hello, i'm christian fraser. hello again, i am ben brown. you're watching the context on bbc news. joe biden and kamala harris have appeared together for the first time since the president ended his re—election campaign, speaking at a campaign event in maryland. and we are going to stay with that story now. joe biden and kamala harris have appeared together at a campaign event in maryland for the first time since the president stepped aside and the vice president stepped up to become the democratic nominee for president. the pair were announcing a big cut

in the prices of some key medicines used by americans with conditions including diabetes and heart failure. but it was clear this was just as much about president biden and ms harris being on stage together as it was about policy. there's a lot of love in this room for our president. cheering and i think it's for many, many reasons, including... few leaders have done more on so many issues — —— few leaders in our nation have done more on so many issues — including to expand access to affordable health care — than joe biden. cheering and today, we take the next step — thank you, joe — forward in our fight. chanting: thank you, joe, thank you, joe...!i there we are, that wasjoe biden and kamala harris. this is the scene at a golf club in newjersey. donald trump is going to be holding a news

conference in the next few minutes. you can see on the table, there's a lot of food products, so the guess is he might be talking about the cost of living, about inflation, which a lot of americans are quite concerned about. we know kamala harris is going to talk tomorrow about her economic plans and her economic agenda, so the economy is certainly very much on the agenda in this race for the whitehouse, and some speculation kamala harris is trying to keep some distance from joe biden's policies and wants to set out her own stall, but donald trump is going to be sending out his stall. certainly inflation has been a problem for the biden presidency, a problem for the biden presidency, a lot of voters have rated him quite poorly on the economy, although there have been decent numbers on jobs and growth, so we will be with that press conference in newjersey

very shortly. let's go back to our panel. dr rebecca harding and jennifer carroll. jennifer, i better start with you, i think. donald trump is going to be talking in the next few minutes. quite a few people haven't sang campaign is rather on the back foot since kamala harris was announced as the democratic contender. he has been struggling a little bit to get his message across. and the interview with elon musk was a little bit rambling. what do you make of those claims? there's no doubt that — do you make of those claims? there's no doubt that kamala _ do you make of those claims? there's no doubt that kamala harris, - do you make of those claims? there's no doubt that kamala harris, when i no doubt that kamala harris, when she came — no doubt that kamala harris, when she came out, got a good rise. they were _ she came out, got a good rise. they were able _ she came out, got a good rise. they were able to — she came out, got a good rise. they were able to coalesce around there perceptive — were able to coalesce around there perceptive nominee, now she's the nominee. — perceptive nominee, now she's the nominee, and the excitement came about— nominee, and the excitement came about for— nominee, and the excitement came about for her candidacy, which put donald _ about for her candidacy, which put donald trump in the back—seat for now _ donald trump in the back—seat for now he _ donald trump in the back—seat for now. he was on a good trajectory after— now. he was on a good trajectory after the — now. he was on a good trajectory after the attempted assassination

if you look at the us economy at the moment it's very sound. the international monetary fund, various other organisations, but also the basics, are growing strongly. core inflation has conducted 2.9%, core inflation has conducted 2.9%, core inflation 3.2, inflation 2.9, and it looks like there may be rate cuts as well, so the economy is actually looking like it is going to avoid the recession, might have a soft landing. that's very good. markets have gone up again today. we are seeing, actually, and economy that is being, bizarrely, centralto seeing, actually, and economy that is being, bizarrely, central to an election campaign when it's doing rather well and has been doing rather well and has been doing rather well and has been doing rather well comparatively to everybody else... rather well comparatively to everybody else. . ._ rather well comparatively to everybody else... 0k, thank you. because here _ everybody else... 0k, thank you. because here is _ everybody else... 0k, thank you. because here is donald _ everybody else... 0k, thank you. because here is donald trump. . everybody else... 0k, thank you. i because here is donald trump. let's just listening to.— just listening to. thank you, everybody- _ just listening to. thank you, everybody. nice _ just listening to. thank you, everybody. nice to - just listening to. thank you, everybody. nice to see - just listening to. thank you, everybody. nice to see you. j just listening to. thank you, - everybody. nice to see you. we have

a lot of interesting things to talk about and we have some very specific things, so we will take our time. we have plenty of time. i think you have plenty of time. i think you have plenty of time. i hope you like the weather. it's very nice. nice place, nice location. i do thank you for being here. and we don't have very much heat, i say it is perfect weather for this. very much heat, i say it is perfect weatherfor this. we very much heat, i say it is perfect weather for this. we are done after the rain is not eminent based on the fact there are no clouds. it is really nice. it is really nice. let's go over some big facts. in some very substantial truths. we area we are a feeling nation because of the way it's been run for the last three and a half years and we are a failing nation. people are coming into our country by the millions and millions and millions, we have no idea who they are, where they come from. but we are also a failing

economy, kamala harris is a radical california liberal who broke the economy, broke the border and broke the world, frankly. very destructive to the entire world because, as we 90. to the entire world because, as we go, oftentimes the world goes. she destroys everything she touches. and if she wins, your finances and your country will never recover. you are never going to recover. radical left person wants to put price controls all over the place which will end up driving up your prices, not down your prices. harris hasjust declared that tackling inflation will be a day one priority. it's going to be day one. but they want really for, —— day one for, was three and half years ago. where has she been and why hasn't she done it? why hasn't she done it? i hear her complaining all the time, she was the border tsar, but she did not do anything, the worst border tsar in history. there's never been a border

tsar so bad. she's been unbelievable in terms of her badness to some of our allies, some of our great allies, you know who i am talking about. here is the record of economic calamity that kamala is desperate for voters to ignore. she cast the tie—breaking votes that caused record inflation, she cast the votes. she is trying to blame biden, as you know. so it was biden, but i'm going to do a betterjob, but i'm going to do a betterjob, but it was her. if you want to do a betterjob, she still got five months left, right? but she can't do a betterjob because she does not know how to. and she's of a place in life where she would not know any better job life where she would not know any betterjob is. going to destroy our country, and as a result of kamala's inflation, price hikes have cost the typical household a total of $28,000. these are numbers coming from government, they are not coming from government, they are not coming from me. $20,000, she has cost the typical household. kamala's

inflation nightmare continues to cost the average american family $1100 every single month, $1100, again, government numbers. you're paying hundred $48 more a month on food, that's every month, average family, because kamala and her ideas, and joe biden too, i mention him, but he is sort of gonzo, it all started with the debate. i should have been a little bit easier... somebody said, your debate performance was horrible. why? because you force them out of government. but i believe she will be just as bad and government. but i believe she will bejust as bad and i believe government. but i believe she will be just as bad and i believe she's maybe in many ways going to be worse because he was not really a radical left, but she is. she's real. he was not real. so i think she's going to be in many ways easier to beat. what they did to him was disgraceful, by they did to him was disgraceful, by the way. and it really is a threat to democracy most of it was a coup.

by to democracy most of it was a coup. by people that wanted him out. they did not do it the way, not the way they are supposed to do it. $129 more on energy and $241 more. this is all per month on rent. you have that. many other increases. you added all up, it's thousands and of dollars that she and she have cost people. the cost of the typical monthly mortgage has doubled since i left office and that number was about three months old from government. and now it's tripled. we had mortgage rates at around 2%, close to 2%, and they are now a 10%, and you can't get a mortgage, so that means it's a lot higher than 10%, i guess it is whatever they want to give over the money, and that's a lot more than 10%. so when you think about double, they have actually quadrupled or more than that. think of that, quadrupled and

which really kills the american dream for young people. young people are being devastated by what they have done to our country. grocery prices have skyrocketed, cereals are up prices have skyrocketed, cereals are up 26%. bread is up 24%, butter is “p up 26%. bread is up 24%, butter is up 37%. baby formula is up 30%. flower is up 38% and eggs are up 46%. and many items are up at much higher rates than that. kamala is reportedly proposing communist price controls. she wants price controls, and if they would work, i would go along with it, they don't, they have the exact opposite impact and effect. but it leads to food shortages rationing, hunger, dramatically more inflation. there inflation reduction act, by the way, was a disaster. it is what caused the inflation. the inflation reduction act was a con job. they actually but it was not really for inflation, they don't know why they

did it, but they named it the inflation reduction act, which was a very nice name, got approved based on that, unfortunately people did not understand it. i understood it. i said, that's going to cause tremendous inflation, like it did come on things like energy. she is running on the maduro plan. something straight out of venezuela, or the soviet union. this announcement is an admission that her economic policies have totally failed and caused really a catastrophe for her country, and beyond that a catastrophe in the world. a little bit unrelated but not totally unrelated, we have wars breaking out in the middle east, we have the horrible war going on with ukraine and russia, all these things would've never happened if i was president, would have never ever happen. and they did not happen. since harris took office, car insurance is up 55% and theyjust announced its going to be substantially higher than that within the next week. they expect big increases in car insurance. it's

out of control, and insurance generally. thanks to kamala's war on american energy electricity prices are up 32%, gasoline prices are up 50% and going higher, meanwhile real incomes are down by over $2000 a year, so the incomes for people are down 2000 on average a year, government numbers, the typical american has seen a 4% pay cut under kamala and biden, crooked joe, crooked joe biden. credit card debt has exploded by 50% under harris to a record high, now at a record high, never been anywhere close. since march, and by the way, people are going to have to start paying that and it's not going to be a pretty sight for the next period of time, it could be a substantial time, since march, of 2022, the average middle—class household has lost $33,000 in wealth. how about that? $33,000. that's average. injuly

alone 350,000 people were added to the unemployment rolls, a lot of people, 350,000 people added to the unemployment rolls. and think of that. that's in one month. that's in july. virtually 100% of the netjob creation of the last year has gone to migrants. you know that? most of thejob to migrants. you know that? most of the job creation has on to migrants. i have heard that substantially or then... actually beyond the number of 100%, then... actually beyond the number of100%, much higher then... actually beyond the number of 100%, much higher number than that, but the government has not caught up with that yet, but virtually right now, as of the time they did this, 100% of the netjob creation in the last year has gone to migrants. aris gave work permits and social security numbers to more than 3 million illegal immigrants. to stealjobs from americans. think of that. and you know they are having a lot of problems with social

security. i'm going to be the want to save social security, but they have are having a lot of problems with social security because under their system of putting all these people into it, it's going to blow up people into it, it's going to blow up and fail. if you selected, social security will fail, it will be a blow up like you've never seen before. it will be the bankruptcy of the entire system probably the nation itself! if is elected. you don't have to imagine what he kamala harris present would be because you're living through that nightmare right now and it is a nightmare —— winne kamala harris presidency. it's a nightmare. you. inflation, and we are going have a crack like in 1929 crash if she gets in. he saw are going have a crack like in 1929 crash if she gets in. he sanohn yesterday who got up, one of the top analysts in the world, frankly, and said that if trump is not elected, he predicts you will have a stock market crash like 1929. he also said the only time in the only reason the stock market has gone up, even

though it had some bad moments recently... there we are, we have lost that feed of donald trump but he was just saying kamala harris, if she is elected, will be responsible for a economic crash. ijust elected, will be responsible for a economic crash. i just tell you, this is a news conference that is going on in a golf club in new jersey. but in the wake of the attempted assassination on donald trump, last month, the washington post and ours now saying the secret service have got a new plan so he can continue outdoor rallies and they would use bulletproof glass to shield donald trump as well as other technical security measures that have not normally been provided for presidential candidates. that's according to the washington post. so we have been listening to donald trump. i should say that we will hear from trump. i should say that we will hearfrom kamala harris tomorrow, who will be setting out her own economic agenda ahead of her turn, her star turn, at the democratic

national convention next week. thank you very much for watching. to stay with us here on bbc news. hello, this is your update from the bbc sport centre. just a day to wait until the premier league kicks off, which opens with manchester united at home to fulham. united's new signings, mattijs de ligt and noussair mazraoui, will be in the squad. manager erik ten hag is concerned his team aren't ready. the new players have onlyjust arrived — and he says he has injury concerns across several key positions. the issues are there. it's not about the players who are not available. always last season, it is about the players who are available. and we have a good group, we can make a strong selection

and we can put out a strong team, so we will do. tottenham have suspended yves bissouma for their premier league game at leicester city on monday, after footage showed the midfielder inhaling laughing gas. spurs have made the move despite the 27—year—old apologising for a "severe lack ofjudgment", having posted a video of himself on social media on saturday which showed him inhaling from a balloon. he has responsibilities, responsibility to his club, he has responsibilities. he has responsibility to his club, he has responsibility to his team—mates, he has responsibility to our supporters, everyone associated with the club. he's failed in those duties, so there's got to be sanctions for that. he won't be available for monday. we've suspended him from monday's game. but beyond that, there's also some trust building that needs to happen between biss and me and biss and the crew. and, yeah, that's what he needs

to work hard at from now on to try and win that back. plenty of transfer activity to bring you as the season's big kick—off approaches. leeds forward georginio rutter appears to be on his way to brighton after the seagulls triggered a £40 million release clause. united boss daniel farke says the player said goodbye to his team mates at their training ground this morning, though nothing has been confirmed as yet. elsewhere, bournemouth have agreed a club record £40.2 million deal to sign brazil striker evanilson from porto. evanilson was called into the brazil squad for this summer's copa america and has won his first two caps this year. he'll replace dominic solanke, who moved to tottenham last week in a deal worth up to £65 million. manchester city midfielder kalvin phillips is set to join newly—promoted ipswich town on loan for the season. there has been no sale option added to the deal, but phillips has failed to break into the city team since his £45 million move from leeds two years ago. the 28—year—old was left on the bench for saturday's community shield win over manchester united and spent the second half of last season on loan at west ham. qualifying from the europa, and europa conference leagues has been taking place.

and mixed results for the scottish sides. a win for kilmarnock, but st mirren are out. larne of northern ireland are taking on kosovan side ballkani. with the score they 1—0 to ballkani on the night, but it is 1—1 on aggregate, into added time. larne had the advantage from the first leg. walid hamidi scoring a penalty on the stroke of half time. if it stays that way, it goes to extra time and possibly penalties. and kilmarnock are just one round away from reaching the main draw, after qualifying for the play—off round. they beat norwegian side tromso1—0 in their second leg — joe wright with the goal — to win their tie 3—2 on aggregate. but fellow scottish premiership side st mirren are out, though. they were beaten by another norweigian side — brann. the home side won 3—1 on the night to go through 4—2 on aggregate, thanks to two later goals. st mirren's search for a first win away on the continent for 44 years goes on. following the news that ac milan have introduced ground—breaking maternity policies for all female

players and staff — including offering a contract renewal to their pregnant players — team captain and scotland international christy grimshaw hopes it can spark more change in the women's game. the choice of being a mother or being a player is one that i think, definitely in the past, a lot of women have had to take, you know. so to obviously be granted this opportunity, where... and i know obviously there's a lot of other opportunities now that fifa have obviously introduced other policies before as well, a couple of years ago, but this one really feels extra special. cricket, and tonight's crucial match in the hundred was reduced to just 30 balls per side dues to rain, with birmingham phoenix needing to avoid defeat against manchester originals to qualify for the knockout stages. having been set a total ofjust 42 to win, phoenix captain moeen ali — who promoted himself up the batting order — smashed a six to win with eight balls remaining. they'll take on southern braves

across northern and western areas. a few blustery showers across the north—west of the uk. clear skies for most mean a cooler, fresher night to come, but still quite warm and muggy in the far south—east. now, for tomorrow, then, we've got a ridge of high pressure building in behind this weather front, so plenty of sunshine around. a bit of a chilly start out there, the odd mist patch. it stays quite blustery through the day across scotland, northern ireland. one or two showers pushing in certainly western scotland, but dry elsewhere. and we'll see the clouds clear from the south—east. temperatures will reach around the mid 20s in the south. further north, high teens, maybe low 20s and lower humidity so it'll feel a bit more comfortable, certainly across southern areas. now, through friday night, we hold onto the breeze, further blustery showers across western scotland, northern ireland. it's going to be a chillier night to come for all areas, ranging from around 7—11 degrees. now, for the weekend, it's looking pretty good. we're in between weather systems both saturday and sunday, so a lot of dry weather around. maybe the odd shower for the north—west corner of the uk closer to this area of low pressure, but higher pressure,

the azores high in the south, will keep much of england and wales dry with light winds. a lot of sunshine around. could see the fairweather cloud tending to bubble up into the afternoon. like i mentioned, more of a breeze. the odd shower for western scotland, but i think the vast majority will stay dry. and temperatures range from around high teens in the north, mid—20s in the south, pretty much where we should be for the time of year. sunday, we see this area of low pressure perhaps influence the weather a bit more across the north of the uk, so a greater chance of seeing showers or longer spells of rain in the north—west of scotland. the odd shower, i think, for northern ireland, western england, western wales. otherwise, again, the vast majority will stay dry with plenty of sunshine. temperatures range from 18—24 degrees. as we head into next week, it does start to turn more unsettled again, especially across northern and western areas. could see some pretty heavy rain at times. better chance of staying drier, warmer and sunnier across the south—east. take care.
