white house race, a little over a month after presidentjoe biden dropped out. she's raised a record—breaking $500 million in a month, and either narrowed the gap or taken the lead against her republican rival donald trump in many polls of battleground states. in a compilation of national polls by fivethirtyeight, she's leading with 46.6% to 43.8% for donald trump. with me tonight are two democratic strategists, chuck rocha joining us from the dnc in chicago, and hilary rosen in new york. also anna gross, political correspondent for the financial times you are there on the floor, i guess, inside the big arena there and there been days of build for the speech and she has a lot to live up to because this huge build that she's had. , , ~ because this huge build that she's had. ,, had. yes, but i think she's prepared if ou see had. yes, but i think she's prepared if you see everything _ had. yes, but i think she's prepared if you see everything that's - had. yes, but i think she's prepared if you see everything that's been - if you see everything that's been happening and i've been so lucky to be inside to watch the momentum. reflect back tonight when i was the youngest delegate here from the

content creators are getting this to an audience who don't normally participate in these conventions which i think is a really smart move because another group of americans who come of age are not able to vote and that is exactly what you're going to see tonight with those content creators creating things out there on the internet. the content creators creating things out there on the internet.— there on the internet. the senior --eole at there on the internet. the senior peeple at the _ there on the internet. the senior peeple at the tap _ there on the internet. the senior people at the top of— there on the internet. the senior people at the top of this - there on the internet. the senior. people at the top of this campaign clearly very much focusing on the social media and spreading the message on social media and getting to people with sound bites and as chuck was saying, within 200 influencers have been invited along to do their thing to get the message out and it really is a social media focus campaign, isn't it? it is out and it really is a social media focus campaign, isn't it? it is but let's not forget _ focus campaign, isn't it? it is but let's not forget that _ focus campaign, isn't it? it is but let's not forget that television i let's not forget that television still carries a significant amount of importance, the interesting statistics— of importance, the interesting statistics that we have seen this week— statistics that we have seen this week is— statistics that we have seen this

let's continue to focus now on the democratic national convention. criticism has been levelled at kamala harris over her remoteness from the press. in the month since she became the presumptive democratic nominee, she's conducted no formal press conferences or interviews. she's also been accused of being all style and no substance, delivering little policy detail. in her first major economy—focused speech as the party's candidate, kamala harris did outline proposals: to cut taxes for most americans and ban "price gouging" on groceries. she also proposed a 25—thousand dollar subsidy for first—time home buyers together with a child tax credit that would provide 6—thousand dollars per child to families for the first year of a baby's life.

she's tried to contrast her approach with that of donald trump — suggesting he was only interested in helping billionaires and corporate executives who would make life more expensive for americans. mr trump has repeatedly tried to paint her as radical left and a communist: under comrade, kamala harris. i called her that because she is a marxist, ok? do you think she's a marxist, ok? do you think she's a marxist or a communist? the people who really study this stuff. they were not able to tell me, they said they could be all the way, it could be communist, but she is close. pro—palestinian protesters again marched near the democratic national convention in chicago on wednesday, calling on kamala harris and tim walz to end funding to israel and commit to a ceasefire in gaza. after meeting israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu last month, ms harris told reporters that

israel had a right to defend itself but she also had this to say in reference to casualties in gaza: we cannot look away in the face of these tragedies, we cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering and i will not be silent. with me tonight are two democratic strategists, chuck rocha joining us from the dnc in chicago, if they want to vote for her, it is key when it comes to policy and get some indications very soon about what her policies are on different areas, what you think will hear tonight in the speech on policy, do you think? j tonight in the speech on policy, do ou think? ~' �* tonight in the speech on policy, do ou think? ,, �* ., ., you think? i think you're going to hear what she's _ you think? i think you're going to hear what she's been _ you think? i think you're going to hear what she's been talking i you think? i think you're going to i hear what she's been talking about leading to the convention which is based on economic populists and the economic issues. she had this proposal talking about helping folks buy a new home the contrast with

certainly across england and wales, we could see some disruption, all because of storm lilian which is racing in off the atlantic as we speak. so this area of rain will become widespread across central—southern scotland, northern ireland, northwest england again and into wales and the midlands. and then a swathe of strong, potentially damaging winds, beginning to move in across wales, the midlands and northern england. 50—60mph gusts widely, could be up to 75mph in the worst affected areas. mild in the south, a bit cooler in the north. so we start with those very strong winds and heavy rain during friday morning. it quickly clears off though into the north sea, and seeing skies brighten up nicely. the winds begin to ease down, but it stays very blustery into the afternoon with some showers in northern and western areas. these are the sorts of gusts we're looking at later in the day. they could be higher than this though during friday morning.

but the winds continue to ease down later on. temperature—wise, 22—23 in the southeast, mid—teens further north, so on the cool side. so we could see some travel disruption from storm lilian, could see some trees down, maybe some power outages and some travel disruption certainly for friday morning. so stay tuned to weather forecasts and to bbc local radio. as we head through friday night, we'll see further showers or longer spells of rain push into the northwest, and then an area of more persistent and heavy rain moving across southern and southeastern areas to start saturday. again, mild in the south, a bit fresher further north. so for saturday, we have low pressure to the northwest of the uk. this waving front, which will bring a period of heavy and prolonged rain across the southeast corner during much of the morning, only very slowly clearing out, and it'll be followed by sunshine but also some heavy thundery showers. further north and west, it stays blustery close to that low, and there will be some showers around, but also some sunshine. temperatures, high teens in the north, maybe up to 20 celsius across the southeast. as a bank holiday weekend for many of us, sunday doesn't look too bad towards the south, thanks to this area of high pressure, but weather fronts always affecting more northern and western areas both saturday and sunday and monday as well. so, unsettled in the north and the west, further south

and east that you are, it will tend to be drier, sunny and a bit warmer.

rather than relocating. there was a sharp fall in the number of foreign nationals who were given visas to work or study in the uk in the 12 months to the end ofjune. new figures show there was also a fall in the number of people applying for asylum in that time. the then conservative government brought in restrictions last december to try and reduce net migration. mark easton has more details. more than 5,000 people have arrived in small boats across the channel since labour came to power. migrants brought ashore in dover last weekend adding to more than 2,000 already this month. home office figures today illustrate the challenge of reducing what it calls "irregular migration". today's numbers reflect the situation before the election. we know that in the year
