treating him and putting him into a secure vehicle and bring him up. the president is hit or nick right here, according to the my photos he was bleeding here and down in this area here as far as on the right side of his face. president joe biden locked in a heated campaign against trump condemned the attack. there's no place in america with this kind of violence. it's sick. it sick? it's one of the reason why we have to unite this country. we cannot allow for this to be happening. we cannot be like this. we cannot condone this. what began is a cheerful event with thousands of the supporters, a former president, donald trump lining up to see his last rally before his nomination for president, ended in gunshots with people fleeing in fear. left unexplained is how a government was able to get so close to the former president in an arena that had been swept by secret service agents were backpacks were banned, inspectors screened individuals. the secret service is investigating the incident

as an attempted assassination. john henry and l. g 0, butler, pennsylvania. no trump himself has just made his 1st comments on truth, social off to the events, the fence, the secret service and law enforcement for the quick response to the shooting. on extended his condolences to the family of the person who was killed at the rally and the family of another person who was badly injured. he said it was incredible that such or not could take place in the us. he says nothing is known about the shoot. him was killed, trump says he was shot in the upper part of his right. yeah. he quoted immediately knew something was wrong whizzing sounds. and so when it's ripping through the skin, he said, much bleeding took place, and that's when he realized what was happening. he ends by saying, god bless america, he was present joe biden, to address the nation. he condemned the shooting, quoting it sick, and i've been fairly brave my,

all the agencies in the federal government has some situation based on what we know now. i have tried to get ahold of donald, he's versus doctors. they apparently he's doing well. i plan on talking now shortly . i hope when i get back to the telephone book, there's no place in america with this kind of violets. it's sick. it sick? it's one of the reason why we have to unite this country. we cannot allow for this to be happening. we cannot be like this. we cannot condone this. and so, and i want to thank the secret service and all the ages, including the state agencies that are in gauge and making sure that the people who and we have more detailed become relative to the other end or other people may be injured in the audience. i don't have all that detail will make that available to you. i may be able to come back later tonight, but we'll put out a statement if we don't. if i'm not able to give it free, if it's not convenient for you all. but the bottom line is that the trump rally

rally that he should have been able to can be conducted peacefully without any problem. but the idea, the idea that there's political violence or violence in america like this is just on part of just not appropriate. and we, everybody, everybody must condemn it. everybody, i'll keep you informed and if i am able to speak to the, to donald, i'll let you know that as well. so far it appears he's doing well. number one, number 2, that there's thoroughly investigating what happened to anyone else in the audience i have. we have some reports, but not final reports. and every agency, the federal government. and i'm going back to, to my phone, to speak with the federal agencies that are being put together again to give me an updated proofing. there's no, they happen. they learn the more in the last couple hours. so thank you very much. and i hope i get to speak to him night and i'll get back to you. if i do. do you

think it was an assassination attempt? i don't know enough to i, i'll tell you, but i don't have any fax. so i wanna make sure we have all the facts before i make some comment, any more comments. it was on hands and it was just outside the area whether riley was taking sites. he joins us now live from document pennsylvania, which will bring us up to speed with what's happening with moments after we heard those pops, the unmistakable pops of gun fire and then the answering shots, apparently from the secret service agents. we saw a stream of people coming by, they've all gone now, but just thousands of people coming out here. some of them running, some of them screaming in the picture that emerges now is a, is less confused ended and initially was, it sounds like one gunman, secret service is confirmed that gunman has been killed. one other spectator was

killed in the audience and we spoke to a woman who said that she talked to a man who had blood on his shirt. that means that he wasn't hurt, but the person he helped was very badly hurt and might not survive. so that might have been that person, a number of witnesses have spoken out about what they saw. take a list when i was standing there and all of a sudden it sounds like fire crackers going on. but then i heard the shots, and then all of a sudden somebody hollers get down on the ground at everybody's going down on the ground as low as they can get. then the secret service comes run up through. it says everybody i'll get out of here now. and wait, i'll shoot us out of the area folds, wrap them around the grandstand, one hit this bigger tower. around the 1st.

after her death, shots got fired. then the hydraulic line was spraying all around the drawing. soon . coming out of it and then another shot you knew something was i mean it wasn't that there was a fire. horrified. i mean i was the shot. i mean the stuff is coming up inside people to do that. i don't know. it's just it's coming. it's absolutely something it's, it's going to drive people to even be more for him. i mean, especially when that furniture comes out. and so what's the situation now where he was any activity? it was the area created quite quick uh, the area cleared overtime. there were a number of merchandise sellers here when trump comes to town. there are literally dozens of stalls setup,

where people sell hats and shirts and all kinds of things. and it took a while for them to clear. a number of people hung out as well just to see what was going on. but initially, shortly after we heard those gunshots, people's strained way to their cars. it was clear that there was some concern that there might still be inactive threat. and overtime we heard that the gunman had been killed, that the situation was stabilized and it is safe. and what we have here is we have a police helicopter coming down from time to time, were not able to go out the same way we, we came in that may be because of the investigation, searching that area and trying to find out for one thing. why it was that a gunman was allowed into an area where the secret service had control. he was apparently just outside the area where people had to go in and be individually screened. and that investigation, of course, will continue in the secret service as they are investigating this as an attempted

assassination to $100.00. thank you. the costs so $46.00, american president's is full. i've been assassinated one and office. they think $65.00 abraham lincoln became the 1st president to be assassinated in the history of the country. lincoln was shots in the back of the head while watching a play. the stays of the end of the civil war with less than a full month's sauce and taking office present. james garfield to show talk to a railroad station tonight, 1881. he died 3 months later, 19 o one president william mckinley was shot twice while at the musical event in buffalo, new york, and presence on us. the kennedy was assassinated in dallas, texas, in 1963. well traveling is a presidential mode. okay, along side his wife, but every time it's north or into us political honest,

he joins us live from washington, d. c. thank you for being with us and how do you assess what's happened in the last through us? i think what we're saying play out is that the political polarization in the united states clearly has reached and a fever, pitch, and violence and bloodshed have become the hallmarks of the political discourse in this country that we're seeing come to a head with this presidential election or can that sits go polarization down the road back from? is it too late? no, it's never too late. but in this moment, in this time right now where the former president of the united states is now the victim, not only of political violence, but of gun violence to things that are now racking this country. so it is not too late to come back from this. the question is, how do are leaders, president trump, president biden,

and others as we move through this political process. how do they actually engage and talk not only to one another, but to the country about what we're seeing play out? is this a moment when clarity and understanding actually come together or do? does the country continue to dig in and amplified the polarization which perhaps is lead to the shooting that took place today of the summer president? so want to well signs in the political spectrum i need to do to lower the temperature. what would you say needs to be done right now? i think we've already seen from, from president biden, from the vice president from ex presidents from george w bush to brock obama. all we have certainly had their issues with donald trump, but all who have made clear, they are willing to put all of that aside to ensure the safety, the wellbeing, and the help of the president and his of the former president and his family. and

so i think that is what we need. now there needs to be a level of human ization and humanity that political opponents can show one another . making clear that while there are differences, those differences don't have to be fatal and certainly can find, can find common ground even within those very stark differences. politically, then, where does this leave the election campaign? how will it change the narrative to? well, it's going to change the narrative because now we're looking at donald trump no longer as just a political candidate or as someone who perhaps wants to divide the country. but now he has become the victim of that division of that total the reservation. and so it's going to change most of all in terms of how the american electorate sees him, but also in terms of how these 2 candidates carry out their activities and duties

as candidates. but also in the case of president biden as the president of the united states, that is going to now change in terms of how they communicate with the american people. how they engage with the american people. because of the specter of the violence and potential death that is now so real and clear and present for both of these men. so does this galvanize donald trump support base and how do the democrats handle this politically as well? i think again that's where we have to, that's where we have to be cautious. because if we were talking about this as a galvanizing force, a galvanizing force that can be leverage to extract and exact political power, as opposed to using it as an opportunity to a to reach or tap into america better. so i think that is what we have to be

concerned with. what reading united states has, has for the last 20 plus years has always billed itself as that shining city on a, on the hill. and today what we saw was not a shining city on the hill, but what we saw was how the united, how far the united states as wall, and you just read off a litany of warmer presidents who were assassinated in here we are in the 21st century and we're still seeing political violence as a vehicle as a means of communication and action. and so gal, but not using that virus to galvanize, i don't think is the way america wants to go. it's not how we project our power to the world. you project power and strength not to violence, but through your ideas. and that is what america needs to get back to. and that's what this moment can be for this country, even for republicans, especially donald trump. you mentioned the rest of the world am and how will all

the world liters and, and countries be looking at this in terms of american democracy. and i think you're looking at it and at the, at the united states. now as this is a nation that is on the precipice of chaos, we just had, we just completed a very successful natal summit where you saw the most integral crucial military alliance. the world has ever seen come together to create a bulwark against fascism and all top and autocracy. but yet here we are, the united states, the law and super power of the world. and we use the political buying was inflicted on one of the, the key of the key drivers of to, to the presidency, the most powerful office in the land, if not the world. and so i think the world is looking with trepidation. i think the world is looking with anxiety. i think the world is looking with uncertainty and that is not a play. and that is not the place where the united states wants the world to be.

because the united states needs again to project a certain image and an image that they believe that the country can live up to. but right now it simply isn't domestically speaking and in the us, does this again raise issues of the gun control in the mac, or is that a side issue? now in the, in the context of what's happening? you know, it's not a side issue, it's a, it's a sub issue of what we're saying played out because we ta night saw the same a president of the united states who has the most efficient affective protective detail of anyone in the country say for the president and the vice president and yet he. ready is no longer shielded from that violence that violence that many within the republican party believes is not a problem. because now we have, we are a nation where we have more guns,

been people. and now we're seeing just how impactful that gun violence can be. because to night, the former president, a candidate for president of the united states, is tonight a victim of that same gun violence with the inevitable b thing. i'll post of security because nobody see life pictures of security outside trump tower in new york. and i'm showing many of the areas as well, does this drive a wedge between voters and candidates when it comes to the campaign trail? i don't know if it's, if it drives a wedge. i think what it does is for, i think the, the, the beer and the, the, the struggle is to not allow it to drive a wedge. but after the attack on 911, we saw a nation that actually came together because it was americans who lost their lives on that day. and that is what the united states asked to get back to. and so this

cannot be a wedge issue. if america is going to heal, if america is going to unify, if america is going to reach it's, it's higher, it's higher play. this needs to be an issue that brings the country together. this, they used to be a unifying force to tackle. not only those sub issues, but those overarching issues that continue to play out in real time across this country. so it should senior democrats and republicans be coming together in a very tangible and visible way to enact what you're suggesting. the solution is to the growing political pillow authorization, the solutions to be growing, gun violence, and the, the, the, the full proliferation of guns across this country. it's unclear how we solve those problems. but yes, there are political leaders need to be the solution and not the problem. and

we don't know what role those leaders are going to take tonight, tomorrow or next week when we see that nominating convention of the republicans as well as the nominating convention of democrats, a month from there. every time we'll leave it there. thank you very much indeed. for your insights and comments here on out to 0. thank you. thank you. as well. the instance comes just 2 days ahead of the republican national convention. the convention will take place in milwaukee, wisconsin, kicking off on monday and set the last 2 to thursday of the r and c. trump is set to be officially nominated as the parties candidates for the 2024 elections in november. frump is expected to announce his picks for vice president, which he said he'll do either just before the r and c kicks off for during the convention of thousands of republicans will attend. it's an event that we'll see speeches from big donors, big name politicians,

and of course the headlines speak of a slight to to be a little trump himself. republicans have already begun gathering in milwaukee for the event. some have weighed in on the shooting to my just the right jerry milwaukee. i really anticipate the events that we're going to have and my friend just starts and then said, are you watching tv? no more garage at the convention and i know and she said what she said to me or something. i just my, her job my, her job is going to be of the setting week. we have so much spring in our direction for our country. is that for me? so immediately i just paid for present jobs and i'm praying for everybody at this convention. that's happening because it's, it's just scary times and i know motions. ohio, what's going on america right now is very sad cuz you're trying to use something to take down shutting down. but the people of justice will be served in trump will be

back. makes you said it gives you the political discourse. it's always been down for them. i think so much of it is just heights that you know, that gets people riled up to a point where that would happen or that opposing political views are so contentious that people can't stand the thought of someone else's political views to the point where they would take action to make an attempt at a candidate for an official joins as live now formidable key, wisconsin. so i have no doubts then nothing probably can national convention will go ahead as though i imagine the even greatest a tooth. yeah, undoubtedly that will be stepping up things that type normally around and things like that are public and national convention. and there's a perimeter fence put in place and that happened a few hours ago. i'm not slowly builds up till the delegate starts arriving on

monday. but you can imagine that it will get much, much stick to it in the coming hours. the reality is that a number of agencies contribute to the security of something like that are public and national convention. you're talking about federal authorities, the state police, they bring in reinforcements from other states as well. those numbers will increase and we are on site to do the secret service. let us know that they had brought in sweetwater planes, full of agents and the equipment that would be used in securing the site and securing the president. so it'd be nice to have a task where every i will be on there is just after 9 pm here in the midwest of the united states. so in regard to this, the heartland of the us, and many people here will be going to bed. what are you tonight? what do you know about what happened in pennsylvania? what are you about? what that might mean in the coming days? i'm, what do you do, but the direction of the united states, given the political violence of this kind,

seemed to have disappeared. we saw in the 19 sixty's, but it is back with what the secret service on the cleaning yet to be a suicide attempt on a former president. but certainly everyone who watched it and everyone who's speaking on social media seems to have come to the same conclusion. and their mind, the donald trump in the last couple of hours has put out a statement saying that he felt the bullet bullitt was cut and tear into the flash of his ear. and then so a lot of blood, just one thing to correct. we said that there was speculation that donald trump was going to had to an event to a u. f. c. event in denver. his campaign, speaking to a news partners here in the united states and be senior, as i've said, that he will not be heading to denver. his plane is at the airport in pittsburgh and is likely to be heading either to florida or to new york. possibly new york and also joe biden, who has been at his beach home in the whole bus and delaware has in the last hour.

and that means that he is heading back to washington this evening that he plans to go to nevada and texas. later this week, those plans may well be up in the simply because of those few seconds in pittsburgh have changed a great deal of what happens in american politics. you mentioned the, the, the word is that people having no doubt social media will already be a watch with the series conspiracy theories and finger pointing. and how will this transform the narrative in the run up to the index, which is not that far away. now a bullet because it's up to the elected officials to try and steal them out as of away from conspiracy tvs. and already we've seen, at least one republican congressman suggests that joe biden or the face of some sort of hit. then on the other side, you have people suggesting that not only did donald trump states this,

he did it knowing that it would perhaps give him a boost in the polls. the reality in american politics is this. people really have a very and trends view of how they're going to vote in november. many people are going to vote to bite and no matter what many people will support donald trump, no matter what happens next. it is the very sits in suite of people in the t post up states that will decide the selection. and the polls me will give an indication of what is going to happen because of what happened in pennsylvania. but it is sure that this was a moment, a doc di for the united states. many people mixed with a size donald trump, for who he is and what he believes. but this was a gun attack aimed at a former president. as we get closer to a presidential election, and that is something that stains the, the pages of history in the united states. and also stains political discourse in

america as well. and fisher, thank see it very much and the full that top dates. thank you for holding. clark is director of a search site. the c fun group of associates set up the international sense of account to terrorism. he says the shooting is loc, as a galvanized support for trump will also increase division among americans. i think it's just uh, promises where the state of american democracy is we're at such extremes now that when people don't agree with a political candidate they're, they're reaching for these types of actions. and it's just, it's a dark day in american history, no matter what your political persuasion is. and i think we're in a very bad place and the lead up to the november election. the immediate reaction and one that many people have been texting me on my phone is that this pretty much sales the deal for trump, that the empathy that he will gain from being a a victim of a shooting attack is going to push them over the edge it's still way too early,

we don't know who is behind this is pure speculation at this point. but certainly the fact that a former president and a current candidate for the presidency was, had just experience and assassination attempt for what we can tell certainly is something that should bring the american people together. but i feel it's can actually be more divisive if you were a trump support or before you're probably doubling down. and if you were somebody that was potentially in the middle, maybe you're moving over toward trump. i mean, this is taking in the same breath as some of the president biden's really, uh, you know, sub par, proof of performances recently and debates and other appearances. and so just really completely a mess, i mean, total capacity and what's turning out to be a very contentious, very fraught and now very dangerous political season. well said i had the analysis here, we'll have more on that shooting trump router in buckler pennsylvania. just

a few minutes ago, stay with the or colors i move examples across central parts of china. you can save the menu from the seasonal range that still stuck their across a similar area, dragging that heavy right across. central china through wilhelm for shanghai rolling across the fall, south of south korea into that western side of japan. some big down polls coming through here. one or 2 showers just coming into a northern positive china as well, and turning increasingly white here as we go. 13, monday pulses of heavier, right. coming in at last day and still what just throughout the fall, south of south korea, west and pulse of japan. more lively show a southern china on the other hand, velocity dry. but down towards the coast,

we will see a few showers just around home called down towards the gulf of tonkin, a good rash of showers across the se, asia, now we've got this little circulation, just barely got back and bring some live you showers in to vietnam. it's kind of a good part of indo china. pretty wet weather to enter the philippines, south of the a quite to somewhat dry and prices of light, but some showers the never the less. know that somebody in the showers across south asia, a more big down post, it gets a good positive india bank with this final face, the pool thing for the heavy right by the which is whether the so the western gets the unique perspective. one picture is not going to tell the entire 8 months of the genocide. however, it is bringing attention to advise that this has not been rough and looks like we're off. it looks like it's hell on heard voices. we've been seeing the exacerbation of the militarization of the police over the past 100 years. connect

with our community and tap into conversations you will find elsewhere, both in a region government and other companies are stealing indigenous land, the stream on our to 0. so even if you look up rich countries, which are now being impacted by climate change, almost invariably the most vulnerable people who are suffering now are poor people . in the us, for example, it's one of which is comes to the world and you know, it's 25 percent of the population who live in substandard housing. but it's important to understand that's a, that's climate change is an issue that a shot through is any policy in multiple respects. and we see it in class terms. first and foremost, i guess the most obvious way we know that it's the rich us that are overwhelming and responsible for, for accessing missions. and so there is a very big disparity amongst who was the problem and who suffers are consequences. the

now you're watching, i'll just say, well, let's take a look back of what's happened in the past few hours. president donald j trump the sofa the off to $2200.00 cmt, former us president donald trump worked on stage and part of the pennsylvania rescheduled campaign ready either way through the crowds and started his speech was just warming up its own the minutes into his address and shots rang out that she likes a couple of months old. and if you want to really see something, the said take a look what happens off.
