four children who were victims of a stabbing in annecy, france are now in a stable condition in hospital. us cities on the east coast experience their worst air quality in years after wildfires in canada. west ham's trophy parade draws huge crowds in east london. hello. a very warm welcome to the programme. iam a very warm welcome to the programme. i am victoria valentine. we begin in the us where donald trump has been charged over his handling of classified documents after he left the white house. reports in the us media say the former president faces seven charges, including unauthorised retention of classified files. the charges are not yet public.

it is the second indictment of mr trump and the first ever federal indictment of a former president. it follows on from raids carried out at his florida resort mar—a—lago when the fbi seized 11,000 documents, including around 100 marked as classified. some of these were labelled top secret. 0ur north america correspondent jessica parker has more from washington. in a post on his social media channel, truth social, donald trump said it was an attempt to derail his latest presidential bid. it is called election interference. they are trying to destroy your rotation so they can win an election. that is just as bad as doing they can win an election. that isjust as bad as doing any they can win an election. that is just as bad as doing any of the other things that have been done over the last number of years, and especially during the 2020 election. so ijust want to tell you i am an innocent man, i did nothing wrong and we will fight this just like we have been fighting for seven years. 0ur north america

correspondentjessica parker has more from washington. this is a bombshell moment. although not entirely unexpected as there have been various indications that this investigation by the department ofjustice investigation by the department of justice was investigation by the department ofjustice was coming to a head. we have not actually seen an indictment yet, nor, according to donald trump ausmat legal team, according to donald trump ausmat legalteam, have according to donald trump ausmat legal team, have they, all of the summons they have received they say indicates that donald trump, the former president is facing several charges including under the espionage act. now, that could potentially bring a jail term if he was convicted, but he of course is protesting his innocence, he denies any wrongdoing. it sets up a court date, though, for tuesday in miami, three p.m.. donald trump of course was in court back in april in new york on a separate case where he also denies wrongdoing. there will be a huge amount of focus as he heads down to miami next week. of course, donald trump is a

of course, donald trump is a man who not only is the former president of the united states, but he wants to be president again, and he is currently the front runner in terms of the republican race to get the nomination and take onjoe biden in 202a. now, you may remember that classified documents had also been found at properties linked to former vice—president mike pence and current presidentjoe biden. joe moreno is a former us federal prosecutor. he told the bbc he thought there were crucial differences in the cases. i think what people are going to find is that this is not a difficult case to understand, and it is probably a difficult case to prosecute. there has been debate about whether donald trump had declassification authority, that he used it or use it properly. i almost don't think that really matters so much. if a grand jury is presented him with a subpoena last spring that said turnover all

documents with classification markings on them, donald trump through his lawyers issued basically a sworn statement saying i have given you everything on the fact is he hadn't given over everything and he had over 100 more in his possession, that is the case. call it obstruction of the grand jury, call it obstruction of the grandjury, call call it obstruction of the grand jury, call it perjury, but is that is what it is, the allegation is that he lied. many people will get hung up on the classified information part of this and say, well, how come mike cains was in charge and how comejoe biden doesn't like he will be charged? they were cooperative. donald trump effectively lied about possessing these documents, and it can be said, i won even a former president should be allowed to divide us is like that and get away with it. let's speak to federal defense attorney ronald chapman. he's handled federal classified information investigations for the department of defense. what is the scope of this indictment?

do we know? we know right now that the scope of the indictment is limited to handling of classified records. it is really important to note here that january six has not been mentioned as a part of this entitlement, but prosecutors could, what we call, supersede and add charges to the indictment to potentially allege january six issues. donald trump could be charged of seven counts. looks like obstruction of will be one of them, ms classified materials will be another, hear there may also be a conspiracy count which would be an agreement with other people to obstructjustice or to obstruct justice or to mishandle classified information.- mishandle classified information. ., , information. how serious were those charges _ information. how serious were those charges be? _ information. how serious were those charges be? these - information. how serious were i those charges be? these charges can be very _ those charges be? these charges can be very serious. _ those charges be? these charges can be very serious. we - those charges be? these charges can be very serious. we have - can be very serious. we have some cases where i believe chelsea manning was sentenced to 35 years in federal prison for a violation of these very similar crimes, but we also have examples in the united

states where people have been sentenced to low sentences come in 2022 a woman in honolulu and hawaii was sentenced to only 30 months in prison, i believe that was actually three months in prison, and in 2021 there was another case where somebody was another case where somebody was sentenced to 30 months in prison. israel time on the menu donald trump? —— is jailtime. i don't think... i think this case may be resolved to not include jail case may be resolved to not includejail time, case may be resolved to not includejailtime, but case may be resolved to not includejail time, but it is certainly possible. the us law allows it. is certainly possible. the us law allows it. , ., allows it. is the department of 'ustice allows it. is the department of justice therefore _ allows it. is the department of justice therefore in _ allows it. is the department of justice therefore in your - allows it. is the department of justice therefore in your view i justice therefore in your view being deliberately politicised here? i being deliberately politicised here? ~' , ., being deliberately politicised here? ~' ,, ., here? i think if you look at the wording _ here? i think if you look at the wording of _ here? i think if you look at the wording of the - here? i think if you look at| the wording of the statute, here? i think if you look at i the wording of the statute, it would criminalise knowingly ms handling classified information in this way and so there is a violation of the law prosecutors are allowed to go forward and prosecute. i think theissue forward and prosecute. i think the issue that everybody has is that the timing of this prosecution and the fact that it was donald trump and not other people. we know mike

pence, we know presidentjoe biden also have had their own issues with classified information, and the question is why is donald trump being prosecuted as you like i heard the prosecutor on just before me say that is because he defied the subpoena, and that is correct, but all of them would have violated nearly the exact same law, so this really is an interesting choice to only go after donald trump for this. . ~ , ., only go after donald trump for this. . ~' , ., , only go after donald trump for this. . ~ ,, , . ., this. thank you very much for our this. thank you very much for your time- — this. thank you very much for your time. just _ this. thank you very much for your time. just to _ this. thank you very much for your time. just to say - this. thank you very much for your time. just to say there i this. thank you very much forj your time. just to say there is quite a lot developing on this story and we are covering it of course on the website. you will find it there. news of his indictment over classified documents facing seven charges we understand over secret files. the information around that has yet to be made public. the second indictment of cause of mr trump, but the first ever federal indictment of a former president, and don't forget of

course, he is currently campaigning to make a return to the white house in 202a. 0k, the white house in 202a. ok, let's move on and talk about of course a story that has shocked france, shocked the entire world in fact. the four children who were stabbed by a man while playing in a playground are, according to officials, all now in a stable condition. it's known that one of the children is british and they're said to be aged between just one and three years old. investigations are continuing in the city of annecy where a suspect, said to be a syrian with refugee status in sweden, is in police custody. vincent mcaviney has the latest. yesterday in annecy, playing the toddlers were turned into targets. the safety of a study park shattered by a knife attack. this video gives a glimpse of the horror. the suspect running around the slides and climbing frames, a

knife barely visible in his hand. we can't show you what happens next. four children, one of them british, was stabbed in quick succession. some attacked in their prams. local authorities have told the bbc that all four children are now in a stable addition. the suspect, said to be a syrian christian, was traced through the lakeside tourist spot by witnesses before police detained and arrested him. i saw isaw him i saw him with a student on the floor, and they were crying. the suspect had refugee status in sweden and entered france legally last autumn. the french news agency afp is reporting he was recently divorced with a young child of his own and had been living in a church.

investigation today. nick garnett, bbc news, salford. the east coast is experiencing the worst air quality in years as intense wildfires in canada continue to rage. we know that us president joe biden spoke to canadian prime minister justin trudeau on thursday, and that the us has deployed more than 600 firefighters to help battle the blazes. but, in the meantime, nearly 100 million people across north america have been affected by hazardous air. this was the scene in washington, dc — you can see the capitol building there, barely visible through the smog. and this is downtown philadelphia. people have been advised to stay indoors and to avoid any strenuous outdoor activities. let's hear from some local residents. iam very i am very concerned about it. i am really worried and i wonder how much longer this is going to last. i

by wildfire smoke, it is transported from the west coast several thousand kilometres away, but in this instance, the fires are in quebec, less than a thousand kilometres away in the fires are abnormally large, especially for this time of year. so the smoke was transported very efficiently and has led to very hazardous conditions.— conditions. one of the residents _ conditions. one of the residents we - conditions. one of the residents we spoke i conditions. one of the residents we spoke to | conditions. one of the l residents we spoke to in philadelphia said he had an asthmatic son, his wife also struggles with it as well. people are obviously and understandably very concerned. is it possible to shield yourself effectively from smoke particulates? it yourself effectively from smoke particulates?— particulates? it is, yes. the main health _ particulates? it is, yes. the main health issue _ particulates? it is, yes. the main health issue in - particulates? it is, yes. the| main health issue in wildfire smoke is the smoke particles that are less than 2.5 microlitres in diameter that can be breathed in deep into the lungs. these particles can be 50 times smaller than even read lab cells and can be absorbed into your bloodstream where they can cause

inflammation and cardiovascular issues. but these particles, the best way to avoid them is by staying indoors and limiting your exposure. while indoors, your exposure. while indoors, you can use air filters or your exposure. while indoors, you can use airfilters or air purifier is to remove these particles, but also, the n 95 masks that we have been so familiar with over the last few years with covid, they are also efficient at removing these particles. and just as a caution, the cloth masks are some people have been using are usually not very efficient. the advice being _ usually not very efficient. the advice being the _ usually not very efficient. the advice being the n _ usually not very efficient. the advice being the n 95 masks are much better than the normal surgical mask. this is something that has been happening on the west coast for a while now. what difference do you think it makes to the fact that the east coast is getting a real taste of what is undeniably seen across the board as an effect of climate change? board as an effect of climate chan . e? board as an effect of climate chance? . , , change? the cities in the west coast have _

it seems the police really are getting younger, these new recruits are nine years old. but don't worry they do not have any truncheons or handcuffs. these 20 children are meeting care home residents as part of the mini police scheme. it is hoped it will build their trust in the police early on. the mini police are here today to learn about good citizenship, to get that community engagement. it is a chance for the children to get to know people from other walks of life. we want them to grow up being a benefit to their community, helping out, rather than finding themselves at lose ends and being involved in antisocial behaviour which can then lead to crime. i was a bit nervous because i don't know how this i was a bit nervous because i don't know how these people are like and i have never met them before. and how do you feel now? i feel a bit more confident. i feel like i'm a good person helping everyone that needs help. for more stories from across the uk,

long time coming. and it's very special to be here with the kids as well. it's amazing. to be honest, never felt| nothing like it in my life. what a proud, proud moment to have my son to watch i this and be in this with us. we're used to the idea of sport being run by the richest, most powerful regimes. well, football began in communities and this here is an east london night. west ham fans know their captain will almost certainly be leaving. well, here was declan rice holding aloft the european trophy on a town hall balcony. cheering. just like bobby moore in 1965. those were the very best days. what's west ham's ambition now? yeah, those players that you talk about are real, real legends at west ham united. but i'm hoping there's a few pitches in the london stadium now where some of the new legends are getting made.

for the players last night to perform and get a result and win the trophy is incredible. people here know that the fans who threw objects onto the pitch during the final at fiorentina players were wrong and must be condemned. but show the joy of this occasion and the significance. that was a message they had been waiting decades to express it. joe wilson, bbc news with west ham. and manchester city fans will be hoping they get to experience similar scenes. thousands of them are arriving in the turkish city istanbul in the hope of watching their team take the treble by winning the champions league final against inter milan. dan roan is there/ this, of course, is the trophy that the abu dhabi owners of manchester city have coveted more than any other since they bought the club 15 years ago and pumped over £1 billion into making one of the richest teams in the world. two years ago

they had the opportunity against premier league rivals chelsea but lost. since then they were beaten in the semi—final last season but they manage this time to get past their spanish rivals real madrid in stunning fashions this year and they are favourites against inter milan. they won here in 2010. they have struggled for consistency in the italian leg but emerged from a group that contained by munich and barcelona and defeated that city rivals, milan, the semifinals. it is not been a season that had controversy, they were real breaches at manchester city which they denied but on the field it has been close to perfect for pep guardiola 's

man and they stand now to reach the elite in football. the senseis the elite in football. the sense is that the game finds itself at a crossroads, victory for man city raising big questions over who and how anyone can challenge them. i hope the man city fans have brought their sunscreen. it will be hot but it will be hot here in england. in the southeast and southern parts of the country. a new health overload. 30 degrees apparently and december a is overload. 30 degrees apparently and decembera is in overload. 30 degrees apparently and december a is in place from friday indicating high temperatures could effect all ages and impact the health service. part of the country are going to be hotter than tenerife and hobe ether in the coming days. do stay with us.

hello. love it or loathe it, a spell of very warm weather is upon us but what will be less desirable, i think, is the level of humidity, which will become particularly noticeable over the weekend. one thing that we do need is rainfall, and we haven't had much of it recently, and we are expecting some showers and thunderstorms through the course of the weekend. let's have a look at the satellite picture, and you'll soon see the sun setting over the storm clouds here, out towards the south. initially, these storms will be very well scattered, so not many of us will actually get them. but it's that humid air to the south that'll start arriving, i think, friday night into saturday, and then through sunday. that'll also keep the nights really balmy, so some pleasantly warm evenings on the way, too, but quite sticky at night. so here's the forecast, early on friday morning, cloudy skies across eastern scotland, eastern and central england. but out towards the west, it's sunshine.

could be a few showers, maybe the odd thunderstorm across the southwest of england, early in the morning, and then, through the afternoon, it's pretty much what we've had in the last few days, so the cloud burns back to the coast, and just a few coastal strips there, hanging onto that cloud through the course of the afternoon, where it will be a little on the cool side. so maybe only 1a in newcastle and aberdeen. out towards the west, it's sunny and warmer, temperatures could be nudging up into the mid—to—high 20s in one or two spots on friday. then, friday night into saturday, this is the weather map. a weather front approaching. that'll spark off a few showers and thunderstorms during the day on saturday. starts off really sunny everywhere, but then that risk of storms, i think, across parts of england and wales. some of the storms will bring torrential downpours, hail, and gusty winds, but very localised, and many of us will miss it altogether. temperatures low—to—mid 20s, high 20s in one or two spots — we could nudge up to 30 on saturday, which will be a little too hot for some. then saturday evening, look at that, at 10pm, temperatures could still be in the high teens, perhaps even in excess of 20 celsius, in bigger towns and cities.

this is sunday's forecast — lots of sunshine right from the word go, and then, that increasing risk of showers and thunderstorms across some western areas. how about the temperatures? again, typically in the mid—to—high 20s, so warm enough for most of us. bye— bye.
