hello, i'm sumi somaskanda, live in chicago at the second night of the democratic national convention. this is a look at the convention floor here at the united center. today's theme is "a bold vision for america's future". the dnc will work to chart its path towards victory for its presidential nominee, vice president kamala harris, with delegates across the country gathered here. in a couple of hours, we'll hearfrom former president barack obama and former first lady michelle obama. both are key allies of ms harris. we'll also hear from her husband — second gentleman doug emhoff. he says she has done for the country what she always does for people she loves. yesterday, presidentjoe biden was celebrated, where he delivered an emotional speech defending his administration, saying, "america, i gave my best to you." joining me now

is from the dnc floor is our senior north america correspondent gary o'donoghue. gary, give us an idea of what to expect from the programme tonight. to expect from the programme toniaht. ~ . , to expect from the programme toniaht. ~ .,, i. ., to expect from the programme toniaht. ~ ., , tonight. well, as you have been sa inc, tonight. well, as you have been saying. we _ tonight. well, as you have been saying. we are _ tonight. well, as you have been saying, we are expecting - tonight. well, as you have been saying, we are expecting this i saying, we are expecting this box office mega moment if you like from what approaches royalty inside the democratic party, that is the obamas. they embody the party, they are the most successful democratic couple for a long time, they inherited if you like the mantle of the clintons. president obama will endorse kamala harris as we know, he will tell america why though why —— and why there should elect her. it is going to be one of those glitzy evening moments. but i think we are also going to get something quite important. you mentioned doug emhoff, the second gentleman, one of the things

this convention has to do is introduce kamala harris to the american people. she might be vice president and the nominee, but a lot of americans do not know her that well. they will be looking for some real personal stuff from her husband to say, look, the politician is one thing, but here is the person as well.— person as well. gary, it's interesting, _ person as well. gary, it's interesting, we - person as well. gary, it's interesting, we are - person as well. gary, it'sl interesting, we are seeing person as well. gary, it's - interesting, we are seeing the convention going on at the same time as we have seen kamala harris holding a rally in milwaukee, the important battleground state of wisconsin, tell us more about that strategy. wisconsin, tell us more about that strategy-— that strategy. well, yes, i mean, that strategy. well, yes, i mean. she _ that strategy. well, yes, i mean, she likes _ that strategy. well, yes, i mean, she likes donald i that strategy. well, yes, i- mean, she likes donald trump, her opponent, has to go round these battleground states, the rust belt states, if you like, michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania and the sun belt states, arizona, georgia, north carolina, nevada. she has to go these estates time and again because that's where the election is won or lost. but

the great irony of tonight and i think this is a hint of the strategy, is she has come to that very arena, that very arena where donald trump was three weeks ago at the rnc. we know and they know that donald trump doesn't like being needled, and this is one big needle. , ., , needled, and this is one big needle. , .,, ,, needled, and this is one big needle. , needle. gary, we hope you can aet into needle. gary, we hope you can get into the — needle. gary, we hope you can get into the arena _ needle. gary, we hope you can get into the arena sometime . get into the arena sometime soon, we will be watching the programme on site. thank you so much. joining me now is illinois congressman raja krishnamoorthi. congressman, get to be with you here on your home turf in illinois. thank you so much. quite a party atmosphere, we should say right now doing the convention. we mentioned that we are going to hearfrom former president barack obama, the former first lady michelle obama, what do you think the message will be? i obama, what do you think the message will be?— message will be? i think it will be twofold. _

message will be? i think it will be twofold. one - message will be? i think it| will be twofold. one uniting behind kamala harris as our nominee and is the future president in my opinion, and secondly uniting around the principle that inform her candidacy. making sure that the american dream is available to anyone regardless of where you come from or the colour of your skin or your background. and secondly, everyone should get on the up escalator or be able to get on the up escalator of the economy, whether they are poon the economy, whether they are poor, middle—class or starting a business. that's the kind of inclusive own that i believe unites and galvanises this party. not to mention donald trump. this party. not to mention donald trum. �* , ., trump. as we mentioned, you know the _ trump. as we mentioned, you know the obamas _ trump. as we mentioned, you know the obamas very - trump. as we mentioned, you know the obamas very well, l trump. as we mentioned, you i know the obamas very well, why do you think their endorsement in particular is important for kamala harris and do you think it could help sway voters? sure, i think there are probably some people who are hoping to potentially vote for her but hearing from barack obama will be persuasive for some folks. i think it will

really reinforce for base voters as well the need to get out there, knock on doors, volunteer, make phone calls and of course vote. she volunteer, make phone calls and of course vote.— of course vote. she is in milwaukee _ of course vote. she is in | milwaukee campaigning, of course vote. she is in - milwaukee campaigning, and according to the polls, it's going to be a very close race, especially in battleground states. illinois, nota battleground state, and votes blue. but what message do you think, harris needs to send particularly on economic issues for voters in the midwest, who are worried about their own economic situation? she needs to meet them _ economic situation? she needs to meet them where _ economic situation? she needs to meet them where they - economic situation? she needs to meet them where they are. | to meet them where they are. you cannot deny that they might be struggling or going through different issues and say, look, this is where we were whenjoe biden took over, we have come a long way but we have a lot of ground to still cover. that means making sure that affordable health care is available to everyone, making sure that everyone can educate their kids so they have a

brighter future than them, and also making sure that if you want to innovate, if you want to start a business, if you want to be an entrepreneur in america, she's going to have an administration that has further to that, and i think all that is going to have to be part of the economic message and i trust it will be.— the economic message and i trust it will be. donald trump ande trust it will be. donald trump and 1d vance's _ trust it will be. donald trump and 1d vance's criticism - trust it will be. donald trump and 1d vance's criticism is - and jd vance's criticism is that harris represents a radical left agenda. are you worried that this something that could break through to some of those voters she wants to win over?— to win over? walz doesn't look far left and _ to win over? walz doesn't look far left and radical— to win over? walz doesn't look far left and radical to - to win over? walz doesn't look far left and radicalto me. - to win over? walz doesn't look far left and radicalto me. i - far left and radical to me. i served with the guy. he is moderate, he is a letter sent to individual, his family friendly folksy guy at his only weakness to me is he apparently likes diet mountain dew which i can't really figure out. do likes diet mountain dew which i can't really figure out.- can't really figure out. do you think the _ can't really figure out. do you think the other _ can't really figure out. do you think the other criticism - can't really figure out. do you think the other criticism thatl think the other criticism that we haven't seen an actual

policy agenda coming out, that voters don't know what to make of her? they know a bit about her background, there are a bit about her as a vice president but they don't know what she stands for. does she need to address that? i stands for. does she need to address that?— stands for. does she need to address that? i think she will continue to _ address that? i think she will continue to explain _ address that? i think she will continue to explain in - address that? i think she will continue to explain in more l continue to explain in more detail what she wants to do but they iio detail what she wants to do but they 110 point plans, they don't want some detailed narrative of what she will do on day one and on day 1000. they want to know that when they are not looking, how is she going to handle the tough decisions that come across a desk? will ship with them first because mchattie thing that is really the test of any leader and certainly any president. you must be very proud as in india american to see her on the ticket. india american to see her on the ticket-— india american to see her on the ticket. she hails from the same part — the ticket. she hails from the same part of— the ticket. she hails from the same part of india _ the ticket. she hails from the same part of india and - the ticket. she hails from the same part of india and my . same part of india and my family does. and i think this is an incredible source of

in 2016 — obama endorsed ms harris, then california's attorney general, for the us senate, praising her record as a prosecutor. and in 2020, ms harris made history as the first woman of colour to become vice president. mr obama supported her selection — saying that president biden had "nailed" his choice for the coveted vp slot. and now — mr obama is formally endorsing ms harris�*s run for the white house, saying that he fully backs her historic run to lead the ticket. joining me now is democratic strategist brian brokaw, who's a political advisor to california governor gavin newsom, and served as campaign manager for kamala harris�*s candidacy for california attorney general. great to have you with us. we just went through that timeline, you are part of that timeline. from your standpoint, what do you think of the endorsement from the obamas of

time. she can talk about her life expenses, herwork she can talk about her life expenses, her work is princess, her record —— work expenses. she will bring the country together and the party together. president trump will do what he needs to do. crowd noise drowns _ do what he needs to do. crowd noise drowns speech - do what he needs to do. crowd noise drowns speech joe - do what he needs to do. crowd l noise drowns speech joe biden was very much going through his list of legislative achievements the other night and do you think, harris once to separate herself a bit from those policies? the fact thatjoe biden's approval ratings are not particularly high. crowd noise drowns speech—

supporter, i was a true believer, i was one of his closest adviser. the trump family became my family. i spent easter and thanksgiving, christmas and new year all at mar—a—lago. i saw him when the cameras were off. behind closed doors, trump mocks his supporters, he calls them basement dwellers. on hospital visit one time when people were dying in acu, he was mad that the cameras were not watching him. he has no empathy, no morals and no fidelity to the truth. he used to tell me, it doesn't matter what you say, stephanie, say it enough and people will believe you. but it does matter. what you say matters and what you don't say matters. onjanuary matters and what you don't say matters. on january the 6th, matters and what you don't say matters. onjanuary the 6th, i asked melania if he could at least tweet that while peaceful protest is the right of every

american, there is no place for lawlessness or violence. she replied with one word. no. i became the first senior staffer to resign that day. applause i couldn't be part of the insanity any longer. when i was press secretary, i got skewered whenever holding a white house beefing. it is because like my boss i never wanted to stand at the podium in line. now here i am behind a podium advocating for a democrat. applause that's because i love my country more than my party. kamala harris tells the truth. she respects the american people. and she has my vote. stephanie grisham speaking earlier. you could hear some of the clapping and cheering as we

go state to state. meanwhile, the man harris will be up against, republican presidential nominee donald trump, has been holding his own speaking engagement in the state of michigan. the former us president isjust outside detroit, making his sixth visit to the battleground state of michigan this year. speaking at a local sheriffs office, mr trump touched on the issue of crime in america — and issued a response to some what was being said at this week's convention. as you know, on the 4th ofjuly weekend, ii7 as you know, on the 4th ofjuly weekend, 117 people were shot. the 117, 17 were killed. this is 11th ofjuly weekend. a0 push is ath ofjuly weekend. a0 push shot last weekend. —— a0 were shot. they lied last night about things nobody has ever seen, they lied about soldiers

at the graveside, they lied about charlottesville, they lied about inflation. inflation has been absolutely horrible, absolutely horrible, and everyone knows it. we had virtually no inflation, they had 9%, but that wasn't including some of the things that went up more than anything else. they gave themselves a pass. but mothers will no longer be losing their children because of weak liberal policies and politicians that have given up on securing a crime free america. we want a crime free america. we want a crime free america. we want a crime free america, we are going to stop violent crime in the united states. the grandson of former presidentjohn kennedy gave a clear and decisive and doesn't know, has, despite his cousin's bid for the white house. several other members of the

i think it's going to feel more like autumn than august over the next couple of days, particularly across the northern half of the uk, where we're going to see some heavy bursts of rain wednesday turning very wet indeed and there will be some pretty strong winds. it's all because of this frontal system pushing in from the west, thickening up the cloud, bringing those outbreaks of rain from the word go across parts of northern ireland and western scotland, eastern scotland starting the day with a little bit of brightness. northern england, parts of north wales likely to cloud over a bit of patchy rain developing here. to the south of that, through the midlands down towards the south of england, it should stay largely dry with some spells of sunshine, but the winds will be picking up gusts of 50mph or more by the end of the day. across western parts of scotland, where the rain really will be hammering down through the afternoon. top temperatures 15 degrees in glasgow, 22 degrees in london and then through wednesday night, well, the rainjust keeps on coming across that western side of scotland. it's possible that some places could see 100mm, giving the risk of flooding and disruption.

gales are possible around some exposed western coasts as we head through wednesday night into the first part of thursday. pretty mild start to thursday morning, 1a, 15 degrees in quite a few places. through thursday, we'll see this frontal system, this cold front here pushing its way southwards and eastwards, some outbreaks of rain with that, the rain, i think, tending to fizzle as that front moves southwards and eastwards, but it will still be accompanied by some quite strong and gusty winds. behind the front the skies brighten, we see some sunshine but there will be some scattered showers, some of which could be on the heavy side and temperatures north to south 1a to 22 degrees. and then as we move through thursday night it looks like we could see another frontal system and another potentially quite deep area of low pressure developing that could bring a swathe of really strong winds, particularly through parts of north wales, the north midlands, northern england, that will all sweep away as we go through the day on friday. sunny spells behind, but also quite a few hefty showers pushing into western scotland and northern ireland.

so the weather continuing in that very unsettled vein. and then as we head into the weekend, well, some uncertainty about the detail, but it looks like there will be further showers or longer spells of rain. between all of that, though, there should be some spells of sunshine.

welcome back to live coverage of the democratic national convention in chicago. thousands of people have come to chicago to support the democratic ticket but some have come to protest the joe democratic ticket but some have come to protest thejoe biden administration stance on the war in gaza. crowds were smaller than organisers were expected and have been peaceful so far. they did turn ill temper is at time with protesters trying to build fences around the convention centre and a dozen people were arrested and security has been ramped up. joe biden received a warm reception inside the hall last night but took time to defend his record on the war and said he understood where the protesters outside were coming from. during his speech some delegates attempted to protest his stance on gaza. one man holding a banner was removed from the hall and several delegates covered their mouths in silent protest at what they described as a

genocide in gaza and may continue ceasefire talks and how the release of hostages and they have reportedly found the six hostages and all of the victims have been kidnapped from a kibbutz near the border fence with gaza and southern israel on the 7th of october and israeli authorities said hundred and nine hostages are in captivity a third of which they believe are dead and it was said that benjamin netanyahu is accepted a bridging soap over puzzle and hopes hamas will do the same. we will discuss the convention is that with congresswoman cathy manning in the foreign affairs committee and from the state of north carolina, we will talk about the ceasefire negotiations in a moment but i want to get your sense of how unified the party is seen to be

pro—palestinian protest and there have been unconvinced delegates and we saw minor protest during the biden speech you are looking for a change in policy from kamala harris and tim walz so what have you heard from the vice president from their running mate on their policy on israel and where do they stand?— they stand? from everything i've they stand? from everything i've been _ they stand? from everything i've been told _ they stand? from everything i've been told and _ they stand? from everything i've been told and i - they stand? from everything i i've been told and i understand from speaking with them and watching them in the past, kamala harris and tim walz will stand side by side strongly with israel, our democratic ally in the middle east. i started this morning meeting with the families of americans who are still being held hostage in gaza and i've met with these families over and over since october the 1ath and it is heartbreaking, but we are optimistic thatjoe biden and the secretary of state and others in the administration of

a working day in and out to push forward with an agreement and the israelis and hamas are supporting an agreement, israel have apparently accepted the most recent proposal and it's up most recent proposal and it's up to hamas. most recent proposal and it's up to hamas-— up to hamas. they said they were confident _ up to hamas. they said they were confident they - up to hamas. they said they were confident they could i up to hamas. they said they i were confident they could push over the line but both the israelis and hamas representatives say they are far less optimistic. do you think the us is trying to communicate the optimism to convince floating voters and where is the optimism coming from? we've seen in fail several times.— from? we've seen in fail several times. from? we've seen in fail severaltimes. ~ ., ., ~ , several times. we have to keep t in: several times. we have to keep trying and _ several times. we have to keep trying and trying _ several times. we have to keep trying and trying to _ several times. we have to keep trying and trying to get - several times. we have to keep trying and trying to get those i trying and trying to get those people, you know, this is on hamas, they could stop this tomorrow if they were to release the hostages and lay down their weapons and it would not only bring relief to the

great satan so this is a crash of civilisations and ideologies and we support democracies and hamas and iran support terrorism.— terrorism. how has this affected _ terrorism. how has this affected the _ terrorism. how has this j affected the democratic terrorism. how has this - affected the democratic party? many of the protesters we saw outside are typically democrat voters and we know the impact of the war could have on the vote in a state like michigan where kamala harris wants and needs to win in november which could be significant. are you concerned?— could be significant. are you concerned? , ., , ., concerned? there is no question that the people _ concerned? there is no question that the people in _ concerned? there is no question that the people in gaza - concerned? there is no question that the people in gaza are i that the people in gaza are suffering and what they are going through is just heartbreaking, going through isjust heartbreaking, and as i said this could be put to an end if they would come out of the tunnels and lay down their weapons and agreed to the ceasefire that the americans have put forward. we are assuming that these protesters are democrats but we don't know who they are and what i will

us, we appreciate your time. one rising star delivered remarks denouncing project 2025 calling it a radical plan. i brought back trump's porject 2025, all 900 pages. it's interesting because usually republican want to ban books, but now they are trying to shove this down our throats. —— project 2025. it's a radical plan to drag us backwards, bankrupt the middle class and raise prices on working families like yours and mine. under project 2025 a family making just $75,000 per year withjust making just $75,000 per year with just two kids would pay 1800 bucks more in federal

taxes stop now, but there is more. because on page a65, project 2025 would stop medicare from negotiating to lower the price of prescription drugs in capping the out—of—pocket cost. and on page 587, project 2025 would cut overtime pay for hard—working americans. these bad ideas aren't new. as long as we have been fighting to make america work for working families, there have been greedy, corporate interests trying to take us back.— corporate interests trying to take us back. you are watching ictures take us back. you are watching pictures again _ take us back. you are watching pictures again of _ take us back. you are watching pictures again of the _ take us back. you are watching pictures again of the roll- take us back. you are watching pictures again of the roll call. pictures again of the roll call taking place on the floor of the democratic national convention and we have seen some of the images there of the state of ohio urging there ——

pledging their delegates to kamala harris in tim walz we see them with a move on to the following state. there was a virtual roll call that took place ahead of the convention so this is moving through the process and this is the chance the delegates get to shine and you see them gathering behind the microphones and now we are moving on to oklahoma but i want to talk a bit more about all of this and what we've seen in the convention with my guest. joining me now is former democratic congresswoman stephanie murphy, and former republican congressman rodney davis. great to have you back, going to be another night of a big slate of speakers, so the attention is going to be on the former president barack obama and formerfirst lady former president barack obama and former first lady michelle obama who are the headline speakers and we talked to the illinois congressman roger christie, why do you think the endorsement and speeches are important?— important? they still hold a very vaunted _ important? they still hold a very vaunted status - important? they still hold a very vaunted status within l important? they still hold a i very vaunted status within the

democratic party and as we've discussed before president obama represented change and that election, they wanted to catch the same fire that a selection did with this campaign because this is a contrast of the future versus the past and they want this to be a change election because the only person in this race thatis the only person in this race that is really a change candidate is tim walz and harris. two thirds of the american people for over a year and a half of told us they did not want to see a rematch between trump and biden and the democrats offered a different option this time and i think you will hearfrom option this time and i think you will hear from both their resounding endorsement of harris. ., ., harris. barack obama has also known kamala _ harris. barack obama has also known kamala harris - harris. barack obama has also known kamala harris for i harris. barack obama has also known kamala harris for a i harris. barack obama has also | known kamala harris for a long time in a number slate of speakers we will hear from tonight are some republican voices. we already heard from a member of tromso administration

there have been people in the past you have selected vp candidates and have been deeply disappointed from the right state, so i would imagine she knows who she wants to be running mate with but it's not like shapiro isn't on the team blocking and tackling. did i do the analogy correctly? i was trying to meet you where you are. that was good, really good. pl. are. that was good, really aood. �* ~ , , ., , ., good. a key question before we listen to the _ good. a key question before we listen to the floor, _ good. a key question before we listen to the floor, we - good. a key question before we listen to the floor, we had i listen to the floor, we had cathy manning from north carolina who is pretty optimistic that kamala harris are tim walz can win north carolina. what is your take? i am glad she is optimistic that i'm somebody believe that you either— i'm somebody believe that you either run _ i'm somebody believe that you either run opposed or scared and — either run opposed or scared and i— either run opposed or scared and i would rather see them run scared _ and i would rather see them run scared in— and i would rather see them run scared in north carolina and put all— scared in north carolina and put all the effort in necessary into the — put all the effort in necessary into the ground and messaging game — into the ground and messaging game and really not take anything for granted. | game and really not take anything for granted. i think cath is anything for granted. i think cathy is a —

excitement and energy behind us, the american people, certainly the democratic party are coming on board. it certainly the democratic party are coming on board.- are coming on board. if this was the last _ are coming on board. if this was the last major - are coming on board. if this was the last major speech | are coming on board. if this. was the last major speech he made to the party in the country, possibly, do you think he is at peace with his decision to drop out? yes, he's lookin: decision to drop out? yes, he's looking forward _ decision to drop out? yes, he's looking forward to _ decision to drop out? yes, he's looking forward to other- decision to drop out? yes, he's looking forward to other things | looking forward to other things he will be working on a home and abroad and when we talked a few weeks ago he was clear he was excited about the moon and working with doctorjill biden on women's health and advocating for education and we have the unfinished work of ending the war in gaza and defending israel's right to be secure and at peace but making sure that the war comes to an end and all of the hostages are released. that is something he is working tirelessly on and ensuring the us does not abandon its democratic partner ukraine and its commitment to nato. it is troubling thatjd

vance says it is not our fight or one we should invest in and i think that would create a real rift between the us, our nato partners and allies in europe and the long tradition of standing for democracy. what of standing for democracy. what about where _ of standing for democracy. what about where kamala _ of standing for democracy. what about where kamala harris - about where kamala harris stands on the us commitment to nato and partners and allies? a lot of people are wondering what the policy positions are. we've seen her on the international stage with allies and partners but some of them are looking to see what her policy might be going forward, so what would you say to them? a great way to know how vice president harris views the nato allies and our place in the world is to look back at the forceful speech she gave out the munich security conference last february. i was with her in the room and before the full scale invasion began in 2022 and again in 2023 and 202a. very strong, very clear support

with 50 other countries to secure the independence of ukraine and support their fight forfreedom and ensure ukraine and support their fight for freedom and ensure to find the military we are getting a bit of feedback, but it's now a question of the campaign here in the us. question of the campaign here in the us-_ in the us. what you think kamala harris _ in the us. what you think kamala harris and - in the us. what you think kamala harris and 1d - in the us. what you think l kamala harris and 1d vance in the us. what you think - kamala harris and 1d vance have kamala harris and jd vance have to do to convince voters because if you look at the polls right now, this is very much a toss—up. polls right now, this is very much a toss-up.— polls right now, this is very much a toss-up. they are doing what they _ much a toss-up. they are doing what they have _ much a toss-up. they are doing what they have to _ much a toss-up. they are doing what they have to do, _ what they have to do, campaigning all over the country. vice president harris was campaigning in wisconsin and theirfirst week was campaigning in wisconsin and their first week as a ticket was electric, they were barnstorming the country from pennsylvania to michigan, nevada, arizona, record crowds and attracted tens of thousands of new volunteers and attracted a record number of small dollar donors. they are putting forward concrete proposals that deal with issues that families face whether it is the cost of housing, prescription drugs and

planning for seniors retirement and helping reduce the cost of prescription production and there is a lot of meat on the bone already and you will hear more from the vice president when she speaks on thursday night in chicago. the president -- criticism — night in chicago. the president -- criticism we _ night in chicago. the president -- criticism we have _ night in chicago. the president -- criticism we have heard - night in chicago. the president| -- criticism we have heard from —— criticism we have heard from donald trump and jd vance is this a communist and leftist agenda and you talk about price gouging controls on child tax credit although jd vance supported credit althouthd vance supported higher child tax credit, so what will they have to do to convince voters who are more in the centre? first, i think you will _ are more in the centre? first, i think you will hear _ are more in the centre? first, i think you will hear them - are more in the centre? first, i think you will hear them say | i think you will hear them say there is nothing communist about trying to make sure the prescription drugs cost less money and that housing is more widely affordable. these are thing for the american middle class and it's a profound misunderstanding of what communism is about and i think former president trump just announced eyes —— last week his

intention to slap a 20% tax, a tariff on all imported goods to the us. i think that would cause some tension with partners in europe and the indo—pacific and raise the cost for thousands of families by thousands of dollars but at the same time he wants to make permanent deep tax cuts for the most profitable companies and there is a sharp contrast in there is a sharp contrast in the policy agenda of kamala harris and tim walz and jd vance and donald trump and as the campaign grows out, you will see our position to be more popular than the others. what you want to see from president obama and the former first lady tonight? i president obama and the former first lady tonight?— first lady tonight? i was a delegate _ first lady tonight? i was a delegate here _ first lady tonight? i was a delegate here in - first lady tonight? i was a delegate here in 1996 - first lady tonight? i was a | delegate here in 1996 and first lady tonight? i was a . delegate here in 1996 and he first lady tonight? i was a - delegate here in 1996 and he is a son of chicago and we will see and hear excitement, history and vision. thanks for “oininu history and vision. thanks for joining us _ history and vision. thanks for joining us and _ history and vision. thanks for joining us and we _ history and vision. thanks for joining us and we are - history and vision. thanks for joining us and we are back. history and vision. thanks for. joining us and we are back with the live coverage of the convention in a moment. stay with us. hello. i think it's going to feel more

like autumn than august over the next couple of days, particularly across the northern half of the uk, where we're going to see some heavy bursts of rain wednesday turning very wet indeed and there will be some pretty strong winds. it's all because of this frontal system pushing in from the west, thickening up the cloud, bringing those outbreaks of rain from the word go across parts of northern ireland and western scotland, eastern scotland starting the day with a little bit of brightness. northern england, parts of north wales likely to cloud over a bit of patchy rain developing here. to the south of that, through the midlands down towards the south of england, it should stay largely dry with some spells of sunshine, but the winds will be picking up gusts of 50mph or more by the end of the day. across western parts of scotland, where the rain really will be hammering down through the afternoon. top temperatures 15 degrees in glasgow, 22 degrees in london and then through wednesday night, well, the rainjust keeps on coming across that western side of scotland. it's possible that some places could see 100mm, giving the risk of flooding and disruption. gales are possible around some exposed western coasts as we head through

wednesday night into the first part of thursday. pretty mild start to thursday morning, ia, 15 degrees in quite a few places. through thursday, we'll see this frontal system, this cold front here pushing its way southwards and eastwards, some outbreaks of rain with that, the rain, i think, tending to fizzle as that front moves southwards and eastwards, but it will still be accompanied by some quite strong and gusty winds. behind the front the skies brighten, we see some sunshine but there will be some scattered showers, some of which could be on the heavy side and temperatures north to south ia to 22 degrees. and then as we move through thursday night it looks like we could see another frontal system and another potentially quite deep area of low pressure developing that could bring a swathe of really strong winds, particularly through parts of north wales, the north midlands, northern england, that will all sweep away as we go through the day on friday. sunny spells behind, but also quite a few hefty showers pushing into western scotland and northern ireland.

so the weather continuing in that very unsettled vein. and then as we head into the weekend, well, some uncertainty about the detail, but it looks like there will be further showers or longer spells of rain. between all of that, though, there should be some spells of sunshine.

hello, i'm sumi somaskanda, live in chicago for the second night of the democratic national convention. let's take a look at the convention floor in the united center, they are just going through the roll call, the very end of it. we see delegates pledging their votes to kamala harris and tim walz and it's been a party atmosphere here tonight. the theme of the day is a bold vision for america's future. the dnc will work to chart its path towards victory for its presidential nominee, vice president kamala harris. for the last hour we have watched this ceremonial roll call. the democrats did already vote to officially nominate ms harris and tim walz earlier this month and tim walz earlier this month and soon we are going to hear from former president barack obama and former first lady michelle obama, key allies of

ms harris. we will also
