a raid on his florida home at mar—a—lago. he was not in florida at the time. mr trump said that a large number of agents arrived at the compound with a search warrant. he said while there, they accessed his safe. let's speak to our north america correspondent peter bowes. i know that you are still making sense of the scene but can you tell us exactly what we know about the initial reaction from the us public? i know about the initial reaction from the us public?— from the us public? i can tell ou first from the us public? i can tell you first of — from the us public? i can tell you first of all, _ from the us public? i can tell you first of all, this _ from the us public? i can tell you first of all, this is - from the us public? i can tell you first of all, this is a - you first of all, this is a dramatic development for the home of a former president to be rated by the f vi in this way, let than two years after him leaving the white house. —— f vi. i suspect many of the american public has still not heard it here on the west

coast, they would be travelling home from work no doubt. let's pose and wait what the reaction is. most people would be shocked to hear this and perhaps intrigued to discover what the reason for it is. we know about this because president trump himself, as you just reported, has released quite a long statement explaining from his perspective what has happened and it is perhaps worth reading a little bit of that statement. this starts by saying in his view these are "duck times that — dark time for a foundation. my beautiful home is currently under siege, beautiful home is currently undersiege, rated beautiful home is currently under siege, rated and occupied by a large group of fbi ages. he says nothing like this has ever happened to a president of the united states before. "after working with the relevant government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate. it is presidential

prosecutorial misconduct". he goes on to say even his save was broken into. that effort of him working with authorities may give us some clue of what it is about. through sources that cbs news have spoken to, this is concerning an investigation into the handling of classified information that was taken to mar—a—lago after donald trump left the white house. some 15 boxes of documents. we know about this investigation already. it is under way. and that is the word we are getting, that this rate, this surge on the former president's home is to do with that investigation. interesting. incredibly dramatic to see a former setting president have the fbi had his own. christopher wray, the fbi leader, is an appointed

official by donald trump. for the fbi leader, is an appointed official by donald trump.- official by donald trump. for a ride like this _ official by donald trump. for a ride like this have _ official by donald trump. for a ride like this have been - ride like this have been conducted, it would have had to be signed off by a federal judge, essentially to sign off on the authority to give permission to execute a search warrant on that particular home. of those documents we have not seen it yet and we may not see those documents for some time. my understanding is that they would have to specify a crime that was being investigated for such a rate to go ahead. so limited information in that respect but, as you say, it is a dramatic development and perhaps a dramatic escalation in this particular investigation. in this particular investiuation. . ~ , ., , investigation. thank you very much for _ investigation. thank you very much forjoining _ investigation. thank you very much forjoining us _ investigation. thank you very much forjoining us and - much forjoining us and unpacking what we do know at this point. i'm joined now by former state department official and international lawyer david tafuri. thank you forjoining us on the programme. how significant is

this and just exactly how significant is it? it is not every day you hear of a former president investigated by the fbi? , , , a, president investigated by the fbi? ,, , a, a, , fbi? this is very rare and this is unsurprising _ fbi? this is very rare and this is unsurprising but _ fbi? this is very rare and this is unsurprising but at - fbi? this is very rare and this is unsurprising but at the - fbi? this is very rare and this. is unsurprising but at the same time it is not that surprising and many people are probably wondering why this has not happened already when we know the right open investigations on president trump and his dealings, investigations by the manhattan da, the us attorney offers, in washington, dc, by the fulton county prosecutor in atlanta, georgia, so this is not that shocking given that so many people are investigating president trump and so many people around him have been indicted for various crimes. but i think is particularly interesting is that this apparently is not related to

the january six attack on our capital. it is related to his taking classified information from the white house after he left the presidency back to his home in mar—a—lago. that has been an issue that has been in the news some, but not as much as some of the other investigations into president trump and his colleagues. i also find it very interesting that president trump was one of the biggest critics of hillary clinton when she used her personal e—mail as secretary of state and potentially some people think she violated some of our laws related to only using government official e—mails so those documents become reckless. and here we have president trump having done something much more egregious, taking classified information which he had no right to take after he left the presidency back to his house but i would caution everybody to take a deep breath and wait

to take a deep breath and wait to see what happens next. david, what do residents do? certainly they have their own correspondence but what is the protocol for a president to do with his official documents? h0 with his official documents? fir? classified information should ever be taken out of classified area, classified safe, it needs to remain in a place that only classified documents and information can state, government authorised, government authorised, government supervised places so when a president is no longer president, he leaves office and becomes a civilian again, he is not entitled to take anything thatis not entitled to take anything that is classified people as they took a lot of classified information and i also destroyed a lot of information, ripped up documents that were meant to be preserved under archiving rules as well. that sounds like what this investigation is about and why a search warrant was executed

but it is also very interesting to think about the fact that, when you have a search warrant one thing, like taking classified information, and if you find in the process of the search information or evidence on other crimes unrelated to the search warrant, you can use that evidence as long as you had a valid reason all you to be searching for evidence in the first place.— be searching for evidence in the first place. you have given us a list of _ the first place. you have given us a list of potential— us a list of potential violations in terms of the new york criminal probe, the georgia electorate temporary pride, it may be too early to tell but of all the things you have mentioned, do you think there is anything particular inside those documents the fbi is looking for and may find? i honestly do not want to speculate about what they might find. ithink speculate about what they might find. i think the fact that they got a judge to sign off on a search warrant means that they were able to show cause, to believe that he committed a

crime but we do not know what that crime was. the media suggest was a crime related to classified information but we know he is being investigated for several other crimes related to january six, trying to fake lecturers in georgia. we do not know what they're going to find. we do not know what they're going to find-— going to find. thank you so much for — going to find. thank you so much forjoining _ going to find. thank you so much forjoining us - going to find. thank you so much forjoining us on - going to find. thank you so much forjoining us on the l much forjoining us on the programme. olivia newton—john, the singer, songwriter, actress, and activist, has died of cancer at the age of 73. her stellar career included four grammy awards and sales of more than 100 million records. but, she will always be associated with grease, the film musical released in 1978, the soundtrack of which is still one of the world's best—selling albums. 0ur correspondent david sillito looks back at her life and remarkable career. # summer loving, had me a blast. # summer loving, happened so fast.

# i met a girl crazy for me. # met a boy cute as can be.# sandy in grease was clean—cut, fresh—faced innocence, and it was john travolta who knew who would be perfect to play this slightly naive american teenager — a 29—year—old australian, olivia newton—john. # if not for you, the winter would hold no spring.# herfirst hit was in 1971, seven years after she left school aged 15 determined to be a singer, something which rather shocked her academic family. her grandfather had won a nobel prize for physics. # country roads, take me home to the place i belong...# born in britain, she'd grown up in australia, and after years of touring clubs, made her name in america

as a country singer. # all of the kids like tempting sodas in a road... #. blonde, wholesome, family friendly, easy listening — no wonder eurovision came knocking. # you better shape up, cos i need a man...# and then came grease. # and my heart is set on you... it was huge at the box office. there were six hit singles and the premier... ..a near riot ensued. this was a new level of fame. back off! there was then naturally huge interest in her next musical. xanadu gave her a hit single. the film, it was the inspiration for a new award ceremony, the golden raspberries. # let's get physical, physical... and then there was physical.

she was terrified it would destroy her girl—next—door image. instead, it became an anthem for the sweatband—wearing hordes of the aerobic �*80s. of course, many tv stations would cut away before this final shot. #if # if not for you... after a break for marriage and children, her career was never quite the same. but 30 years on, olivia newton—john was still performing. it was a reminder of how it all began. #if # if not for you... # for you... like a burst of australia sun, blonde, wholesome and pure. if anyone was going to be sandy, it was olivia newton—john. come on, sandy! # goodbye to sandra dee.#

dame olivia newton—john who has died at the age of 73. in what's billed as the biggest—ever investment by the us government to tackle climate change, president biden has won the backing of the senate to spend $369 billion so that america can achieve its target on reducing emissions. the money includes tax breaks for consumers who buy electric vehicles and cash for communities hardest hit by fossil—fuel pollution. it's all meant to reduce us emissions of c02, by as much as a0%, by the end of the decade. 0ur north america correspondent john sudworth reports. the american dream was built on fossil fuel — the very concept of freedom and unrestrained energy consumption long going hand—in—hand. the time is now... it's hard, then, to overstate

the significance of this moment — the us senate passing the country's first major piece of climate change legislation. the vice president votes in the affirmative, and the bill, as amended, is passed. cheering one good thing that's come from this - is that we've realised, you know, this is an american problem... presidentjoe biden, struggling with woeful approval ratings, is suddenly looking like a man who can get things done — using a trip to meet victims of flooding in kentucky to underscore the need for the bill. it has its limitations. there are no tax penalties for polluters, it leaves in place concessions for the oil and gas industry, and its ambitions have been reduced by months of political wrangling. but for environmental campaigners, there's still plenty to celebrate. the us senate just made climate history. this bill, if it gets enacted, represents the single most

significant step forward for climate action in the united states ever, and it gives that signal that will encourage business, households, policymakers, to start to orient investments into a more green future. the idea is carrots, not sticks — billions of dollars over the next decade to incentivise the production of green energy, all funded by a new 15% minimum tax on corporate profits. not a single republican senator supported the bill, and at the pump, some motorists remain lukewarm, too. i'm just a fan of gas. it's just the way i grew up, i guess, i can't really... i don't have anything against electric cars, they're just not for everybody. i'm just really indifferent, on the fence about them. but it's a long way from this attack on wind power. and they say the noise causes cancer, you told me that one, 0k... you know, the thing makes...

and of course it's like a graveyard for birds. climate change is now firmly on the american agenda, and a political system known more of late for its paralysis has shown its capable of progress, too. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: a covid outbreak has left more than 80,000 tourists stranded in the popular chinese resort city of sanya. the big crowds became bigger as of the time of the funeral approached. as the lines of fans became longer, the police prepared for a huge job of crowd control. idi amin, uganda's brutal former dictator, has died at the age of 80. he's been buried in saudi

stay with bbc world news. iam i am monica miller, thank you so much for watching newsday. hello there. i'm sure a lot of people are thinking its warm enough already, but it will get hotter to the rest of this week. temperatures will continue to rise with heatwaves spreading to many parts of the uk. a lot of people may be headed to the coast hoping for something a little bit cooler with some sea breezes.

but already, we've seen temperatures hitting 30 degrees in surrey in the sunshine on monday. you may be surprised to learn the temperatures could be as low as 8 or 9 degrees first thing on tuesday morning in rural parts of wales in northern england. it's going to be warmer in northern scotland for the breeze bringing cloud and a little bit of rain. that gets pushed away to get more sunshine developing in scotland and it will be a sunny day on tuesday in northern ireland and again across england and wales. sea breezes a bit cooler and in inland and temperatures continuing to rise among england and wales. widely 29—30 degrees, 25 or so east of scotland and northern ireland. the heat is building underneath that area of high pressure and keeping the rain to the far northwest of scotland. later on in the week, we will start to pick up in east or south easterly breeze and that will draw in some the heat that we've got in western europe where it is hot in many places already.

we're not expecting to break any records this time. however, by the end of the week, temperatures to the west of london could be reaching 36 celsius. as we head into wednesday, sunny skies and pretty much across the board, there will be breezy in the far northwest of scotland but it should stay dry here those temperatures are continuing to rise at 27 degrees and eastern parts of scotland and the northeast of england, and 32 is likely to the midlands, towards the south east of england as well. that heat will linger for some time. you can see it maintain above 30 degrees in london to the weekend. it's not going to be as hot in scotland and northern ireland, and temperatures may start to drop a bit over the weekend. but the rain is been all or nothing since the 1st ofjuly — nothing across many parts of the uk and a lot of rain in the highlands of scotland. some people are looking for some rain and asking when it's going to come. the signs are that early

next week, with falling pressure, temperatures will be dropping and there could be some rain.
