as you can see, we are on the ground behind our car, which is not ideal, but that's the shelter we have at the moment. there's no place in america for this kind of violence. it's sick, it's sick. it's one of the reasons why we have to unite this country. and there's just five hours to go before england face spain in the euro final in berlin. donald trump has survived an assassination attempt — at a rally in pennsylvania — he's now left hospital, he's posted another statement on social media.

our love goes out to the other victims and their families. lets show you the moment the former us president was shot the fbi says the gunman — who was on a nearby roof — killed a spectator and wounded two others before being shot dead by snipers. and as you can see, security agents rushed to protect the former us president and hurried him off stage with blood on his face. in a social media post, mr trump said a bullet had pierced his ear. he is now in newjersey where he plans to spend the night at his private golf club. this image obtained by the entertainment news outlet tmz — shows the exact moment the shooter — who is lying on his stomach — lines up his shot from the roof.

clearly, questions about how we was able to do that without being stopped. the gunman was shot dead moments after this. and what you just heard there — was some of the reaction from the distressd crowd — after he was killed — and the panic which followed . our senior north america correspondent, gary o'donoghue, was outside the venue where donald trump's rally took place. this is his report. and you know, that is a little bit old, that chart�*s a couple of months old... it was just a few minutes into donald trump's speech when a volley of shots rang out. gunshots. get down, get down, get down! gunshots. the former president can be seen clutching at the right side of his head. after that, he hit the ground as the secret service pile on top of him. theirjob, to put their bodies

between him and the shooter. there was a panic among the thousands of people inside the rally. many ran, many threw themselves into the ground. donald trump was seen getting to his feet and raising a fist to his supporters, signs of blood at his right ear. cheering. we are just waiting to see if things have cleared, and as you can see, we are on the ground behind our car, which isn't ideal, but that is the shelter we have at the moment, and that is what we are trying to ascertain, what has happened? as people streamed out of the venue, they told us what they had seen. one man, a local business owner, described how he had noticed a man he believed to be the shooter climbing onto a low roof nearby holding a weapon.

we noticed a guy crawling, bear crawling, up the roof of the building beside us. 50 feet away from us. so, we are seeing him there, and we are pointing, pointing at the guy pointing at the lap up the roof. and he had a gun, right? he had a rifle. a rifle? we could clearly see him with a rifle. absolutely. we're pointing at him, the police are down there running around on the ground, we are like: "hey, man, there is a guy on the roof with a rifle." and the police are like: "oh, what?" you know, like, they didn't know what was going on. shouting. what are you doing? i heard the shots. i thought it was firecrackers, to begin with. somebody over there was

screaming: "he has been shot, he has been shot." so, i made my way over. i said: "i am an emergency department physician, can we help you?" the guy had spun around and wasjammed between the benches. there is a helicopter coming in to get him. so, people there were really helpful... was only one person shot, that you saw? then i did cpr, chest compression is as well a brief one. president trump was taken straight off to the local butler county hospital. shortly afterwards, he released a statement paying tribute to law enforcement, and expressing condolences for those killed and injured. the statement said: i was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. i knew immediately that something was wrong, and that i heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin." condemnations were swift. president biden had this to say. the idea that there is political violence and violence in america

like this is just unheard—of, it is just not appropriate, and everybody must condemn it. everybody. the biden campaign is suspending its activities for the time being. though, donald trump has indicated he plans to go to the republican national convention on monday as planned. in the meantime, investigations will continue. everyone is asking: how could an attempted political assassination be part of modern day america? gary o'donoghue, bbc news in butler pennsylvania. incredible images there. with me is our security correspondent frank gardner

lessons have space to have been learned from the time ronald reagan was shot. the sbi are leading the investigation. that investigation involves not only the fbi. but primarily the secret service because the buck stops with them and homeland security. but the finger of blame is pointing at the secret service. they got a massive budget. they got staff uniformed and undercover agents. a lot of weaponry. you saw some of them there gathered around the president. some of them in military clothing. there are truth stands to this investigation. one strand is detective work. the shooter has been identified. you have to do a lot of follow—up. you have to seize his tech, you have to look at is digital footprint. was he a member of any organisations. was he an overseas...

then you have the really awkward questions as to how this lapse took place. how did he get a rifle within hundred and 50 metres of the former president and likely presidential hopeful. president and likely presidential ho eful. ., ., ., , , hopeful. you heard that witness in the report- — hopeful. you heard that witness in the report. there _ hopeful. you heard that witness in the report. there were _ hopeful. you heard that witness in the report. there were there - hopeful. you heard that witness in the report. there were there were j the report. there were there were warnings passed on. why was that not escalated? the secret service have had to deny that a request for further enhance security around on a shot was pushed back. the further enhance security around on a shot was pushed back.— shot was pushed back. the fbi have also denied — shot was pushed back. the fbi have also denied that. _ shot was pushed back. the fbi have also denied that. these _ shot was pushed back. the fbi have also denied that. these things, - shot was pushed back. the fbi have also denied that. these things, if. also denied that. these things, if their own true can catch on like wildfire. let us not kid ourselves that this is going to be politicised. we are four months away from debate oblique, one of the most

important elections in us history. america is sharply divided. this is going to play into that one way or another. the risk that this event could be politicised... there will be all sorts of conspiracy theories. it's really important is that the investigation comes up with the answers to those questions. who was this guy? what was his motive? what spurred him to do this? and why wasn't it stop? a quick question on those pictures... questions about how long it took taking the former president of stage? the secret service around him are going to have some questions to answer. the director of the secret service is is being summoned to speak to the house

historical moment to achieve something. and to put spain into the highest level of european winners. the wimbledon men's final is under way between djokovic and alcaraz. how is it looking at the moment? it is looking very one—sided. alcaraz playing like a man who wants to watch that euro final. djokovic is struggling. he had that knee surgery six weeks ago. he hasn't been pushed hard at these championships until now. the first set was over in 41 minutes. it ended taking that set six games to two. alcatraz is ——

alcaraz is taking this match like a three times champion. he has really started up here and djokovic started down here we are so used to djokovic finding his his level in matches. this is a very un—djokovic like a performance. dare i say it it looks like everything is just catching up with him you might be able to hear some cheers on henman hill. another long rally with alcaraz winning the point. what else has happened here today? alfie hewitt is finally a

wimbledon singles men's champion. he won by a straight sets. it was a really impressive performance. it was an emotional performance. he has done it. he has the career grand slam. he has won all those major titles. slam. he has won all those ma'or titles. ,, .

let's show you this is thomas matthew crooks a picture from his yearbook. the fbi and the authorities now are trying to find out every detail about his background after those shocking events of yesterday in the us. let's speak to leslie vinjamuri, director of the us and americas programmes at chatham house, and professor of international relations at soas university of london. thank you for being here. a really shocking moment. when you first heard and your first reaction... take me through that... heard and your first reaction...

take me through that. . .- take me through that... very shocked- _ take me through that... very shocked. many _ take me through that. .. very shocked. many of— take me through that... very shocked. many of us - take me through that... very shocked. many of us have - take me through that... - shocked. many of us have been very concerned about the threat of violence surrounding this election season. but i don't think however much you are concerned i don't think anyone would have anticipated this kind of assassination attempt. and remember the death of one person who was attending that trump rally. i was attending that trump rally. i was shocked and immediately very concerned for what it will mean going forward. and then quickly i am glad to see the numerous statements condemning the violence from democrats and republicans. from elected officials and from elite members of civil society. many of whom have opposed donald trump, �*s style of approach have condemned

this. there have been a few glimpses of individuals, i'm very sorry to say, who looked to be making this a partisan issue. as we look ahead i think the critical thing will be to maintain that unity. to avoid making this a partisan political issue. we don't know the motivation of the young person committing this act of violence. we know that frequently there is a mental health issue involved. we need to wait and see as to the motivation. there is no doubt that this will have a very significant impact on the campaign going forward. a lot of people are talking about what the impact will be on the election and the results. that is impossible to know. but it already has an immediate impact on

the campaign. president biden's campaign stopping all activity in the hours after the shooting. but even when that campaigning resumes, which it will on both sides. the republican convention is coming soon. leaders, especially president biden, will have to be careful about the words that they choose. i anticipate more focus on the issues and less focus on the opposition. we've heard from the house speaker who said we have got to turn the rhetoric down. is there any real likelihood of that in the coming weeks do you think? i likelihood of that in the coming weeks do you think?— likelihood of that in the coming weeks do you think? i think we will see a contest. _ weeks do you think? i think we will see a contest, a _ weeks do you think? i think we will see a contest, a struggle, - weeks do you think? i think we will see a contest, a struggle, across i see a contest, a struggle, across all of american society. certainly amongst its political leadership on both sides of the aisle. with those who are demanding and pressing for this call for unity, and

unfortunately there are those who have made this a partisan issue. putting out a very difficult tweet blaming president biden. but i think the numerous messages coming out from republicans and democrats so far outweigh that. but we can only hope, are not only hope that the push very hard, and this is a job for the media, full civil society for the media, full civil society for officials to push back against what is an intensely polarised america, a very polarised partisan political debate and a partisan media to pull for that message of unity. many peoples lives will be at stake. the possibility for more violence. we haven't talked about the feelings of all of those feelings all of those people at that rally must have been feeling worrying about their own security

and safety. it's going to be treacherous in the hours and days ahead... i treacherous in the hours and days ahead... ., ahead... i saw one political strategist _ ahead... i saw one political strategist say _ ahead... i saw one political strategist say in _ ahead... i saw one political strategist say in the - ahead... i saw one political strategist say in the last i ahead... i saw one politicall strategist say in the last few ahead... i saw one political- strategist say in the last few hours that this puts to bed any thought of replacing president biden because there is way too much turmoil in the political arena. there is way too much turmoil in the politicalarena. is there is way too much turmoil in the political arena. is that what your inclination is as well? my immediate thou . ht inclination is as well? my immediate thought was — inclination is as well? my immediate thought was that _ inclination is as well? my immediate thought was that it's _ inclination is as well? my immediate thought was that it's not _ inclination is as well? my immediate thought was that it's not a _ inclination is as well? my immediate thought was that it's not a good - thought was that it's not a good time. that very few people are likely to assess the as likely a good time to change the political candidate. people want to see as much as stability and calm and messages... what they don't want to see it a divided democratic party. so yes i do agree, again i do it's difficult to predict but i do agree.

we have to leave it there. please head to the bbc website for the very latest there. hello there. leading the rains fall league of misery is loftus where we have already had over double the average rainfall even though we are not quite at the halfway point of the month. it's going to feel quite pleasant, but for easton and northern parts of england we still have outbreaks of rain. it is going

to be quite cool the gabonese north sea coast. temperatures quite widely sneaking into the low 20s. overnight on nights more damp weather to come in these eastern coasts of scotland. otherwise clear spells developing around ten or 12 celsius. for monday and tuesday were now looking at the area of low pressure that is now bringing rain to england and wales. the first sign of that rain on monday morning will be across wales and south england before the rain spreads into the south—east and across the south midlands as well. it's not a bad day on monday some broken sky clouds and sunny spells temperatures into the low 20s. but the rain across wales and south england could be heavy enough to cause concerns about localised flooding and there is likely to be thunderstorms mixed in. three monday night the rain extends northwards and eastwards and into tuesday could bring some further heavy downpours

into the areas of the uk that have already seen well over double the average july already seen well over double the averagejuly rainfall. further north not a bad day for scotland in the north with some sunny spells temperatures for high teens and 20s. if only we could see an area of high pressure that was settle the weather down for a time. the high pressure probably not hanging around but for the vast majority of the uk temperatures around 2a in london but then we will see some rain returned. the weather turns generally and settled for rest of the rest of us.

this live from london. this is bbc news. an assassination attempt on donald trump — as he speaks at an outdoor election rally in pennsylvania. the former us president says — a bullet ripped through his ear — but he survived without serious injuries. he has now left hospital and posted on social media: we will fear not but instead remain defiant in the face of wickedness. the gunmen fired and killed one

spectator, wounding two others, before being shot dead. and there's just five hours to go before england face spain in the euro final in berlin. the countdown is on: it's just a matter of hours until england take on spain in the euro 2024 final. a matter of hours until england take excitment is running high for diehard football fans. excitement is running high for diehard football fans. the england men's squad are hoping to win their first major trophy in almost six decades. will england defy the odds or will favourites spain snatch the glory? let's speak to bbc sport's olly foster, who is in berlin for us. olly, tell us a bit about what we can expect from tonight's match. thank you. the streets of
