of november's election. the top prosecutor for england and wales says he is "willing" to consider charging some rioters with terrorism offences. this comes after another night of violent disorder in some cities. eluned morgan has become the new first minister of wales, following a vote in the welsh parliament. and artists from fifty eight countries are putting on more than 52,000 performances — as the edinburgh fringe gets under way. the kamala harris campaign has officially confirmed that the presidential candidate for the democrats has picked tim mort as her running mate. he is currently the governor of minnesota, she posted that she is in that hat announced

that she is in that hat announced that governor, coach and a veteran. he is delivered for families like his. it is way to having on the team. a lengthy statement on him that she is again proud to announce that she is again proud to announce that she is again proud to announce that she has asked to be her running mate, one of the things that stood out about her convictions for starting for middle—class families. she goes on to talk more about his family, background and his record in public service. we are going to have much more on that news. the reaction to it. over the next three hours but right now it is time let'sjoin you. meals at paris 202a. with the synchronised events all done, now the individuals are getting their chance, starting with the women's 10 metre platform final. although the competitors are the same, and after winning the synchro event together,

quan hongchan and chen yuxi have claimed the gold and silver medals respectively. quan led throughout to beat her compatriot with kim mi rae of north korea taking the bronze. there are three more events left as china attempt to win 8 out of 8 titles. meanwhile, the first gold medal of the day went to germany's christian kukuk in the individual showjumping. in an error—filled competition, only three managed to go clear and qualify for the final jump—off. kukuk, on his horse checker a7, was the only one to manage it again. and like china in the diving so far, germany have completed a clean sweep of golds in the individual equestrian events. after the netherlands won a dramatic gold in the men's 3 on 3 basketball, the traditional version of the sport reaches its business end and the action has moved from lille to paris for the knockout rounds. we have our first two semi—finalists — giannis antetokounmpo�*s greece knocked out by world champions germany. serbia and australia have gone into overtime.

later the meeting of hosts france and canada will include plenty of nba stars, not to mention the usa, hot favourites to win a fifth straight gold medal in paris. they take on brazil aware that anything can happen in a one—off game. expect the unexpected, ready to play. the teams i was play a little bit better, i guess. whatever we have got to do, we have got to find a way. like monday's women's 800 metres, a middle distance race could well provide the feature of the athletics evening session later at the stade de france. the men's 1500 metres could come down to the defending 0lympic championjakob ingebritsen of norway and the man who beat him to last year's world title, britain's josh kerr. while 100 metre gold medallist julien alfred has qualified for the final of the 200 metres. the st lucian registering the second

fastest time in the semis behind the american gabbi thomas, who's the favourite in the absence of world champion shericka jackson after the jamaican�*s withdrawal. manchester city have agreed to let hulian alvarezjoin atletico madrid for what would be a club record sale for the premier league champions. the la liga club will pay at least $82 million for the argentina world cup winner and could have to fork out another 22 million in add ons. alvarez has yet to agree personal terms but if it goes through it'll represent a big profit for city who signed him two years ago for around $15 million. the chief executive of england's rugby football union insists they haven't sold their soul after agreeing to a sponsorship deal that includes renaming twickenham to becoming the allianz stadium. the 82,000 seater stadium has hosted england men's games since 1909, while it also hosts international women's matches and key domestic games. the rfu has confirmed the contract with the insurance company is a "multi—year one" and worth

more than $125 million. i really don't believe we've sold out. it's an iconic stadium, it's the home of rugby, experiences here are incredible. people love coming here, they have a great time out. we have got some great matches coming up with the red roses in september and the autumn internationals as well. but we believe this will help us build on the legacy of the stadium. this will take us into the future, it will take us into decades from here. and the investment that is coming in from allianz will enable us to make twickenham an even better experience for fans and the players when they come here. so we believe this is investment into the future with the sort of partner that we need to go on that journey. and that's all the sport for now. kamala harris has selected minnesota governor tim walz as her running mate in the presidential race. harris will formally introduce him as her at a rally in philadelphia,

pennsylvania, later today. kamala harris and the minnesota governor will then take a tour of battleground states in the days ahead, with stops planned in wisconsin, michigan, north carolina, georgia, arizona and nevada. they will make their debut later on tonight, our correspondence is there. but first, to you, we're going to see the two of them together there in philadelphia and get a sense of what they look like together. what the chemistry is, and what they are planning to bring together to this campaign. weill. together to this campaign. well, “ust to together to this campaign. well, just to remind, _ together to this campaign. well, just to remind, the _ together to this campaign. well, just to remind, the vp _ together to this campaign. well, just to remind, the vp race - together to this campaign. well, just to remind, the vp race has i just to remind, the vp race has been, sorry, their brace to pick the vp has been much quicker that if you

think about how long it took donald trump to choose his vp it took some time but she has had not had that long. it was little over two weeks ago when joe long. it was little over two weeks ago whenjoe biden stood down and left the coalition around here and there has been this big battle to see who she would end up picking. i am in pennsylvania as mentioned, the governor was a big favourite at one point but tim bought was picked, he has a year older than kamala harris and c is essentially with someone seen as someone who said the tickets, he is a veteran, teacher, and was also a state championship winning four more coach. he was a faculty of either the first... at a school, a gun owner, highest—ranking retired enlisted soldier to serve in congress, he is someone who has this folksy demeanour about him as well. i think that usually appealed to

rural voters, working class voters and in away balances out the ticket with kamala harris who has spent much of her career in deep blue states of california. so, it'll be very interesting related to stage later tonight in philadelphia and it will be the start, as united, of this tour battleground states but we get a sense of what the harris ticket and feels like. just as, don't run�*s campaign manager has released a statement as well, they've got their attacks honed on him. we knew he was in the next and described him as a far right liberal lie kamala harris. they are republicans. they are prepared to attack new ticket.— republicans. they are prepared to attack new ticket. what you think, the choice of _ attack new ticket. what you think, the choice of tim _ attack new ticket. what you think, the choice of tim watts _ attack new ticket. what you think, the choice of tim watts said - attack new ticket. what you think, the choice of tim watts said of. attack new ticket. what you think, the choice of tim watts said of mr| the choice of tim watts said of mr shapiro, what does it tell us about her campaign thinks needs to be done they had to be the next president

at. the first woman president of the united states? i at. the first woman president of the united states?— united states? i think it goes back is to balancing _ united states? i think it goes back is to balancing ticket, _ united states? i think it goes back is to balancing ticket, he - united states? i think it goes back is to balancing ticket, he was - united states? i think it goes back is to balancing ticket, he was seen as the favourite and he was very bloodied and bruised by this big pr campaign about all of them actually as i mentioned the race was much more quicker because she didn't have much time so all of them were publicly auditioning for the role. there were lots of interviews, they were holding events and mr shapiro was seen as not, not really gelling with a progressive members of the democratic party, there were his views on israel, they were quite pro—israel, they were critical of the students who are protesting at what is happening. policies in schools, some felt they were too conservative, some get back to haunt him so he really did get the brunt of the negative pr. having said that, we don't really know why

kamala harris has picked him as of yet. she has not give any press conferences as a interviews and will get moral understanding from the later stages when they start doing theirjoint interviews together on accepting why he came out victorious but as i mentioned, i do think a lot of it is about balancing the ticket. he does bring in those sorts of voters, potentially that may not voters, potentially that may not vote for harris but it is also kind of like a paradox. at the same time, there is an argument that the vp does not help the president when the election in the end. it is about, and it will be about, how is this is from. it is ultimately about do no harm. that is the golden rule. as long as they do no harm, that is the key thing for the president. thank ou ve key thing for the president. thank you very much- — key thing for the president. thank you very much. our— key thing for the president. thank you very much. 0ur correspondence in philadelphia. just as point of why did kamala harris choose him, let's

join our correspondence in washington because she has posted on y and x and in a more lengthy statement on instagram which is giving us our insight into her reasoning. i giving us our insight into her reasoning-— giving us our insight into her reasoning. giving us our insight into her reasonina. , ., , reasoning. i will 'ust say that 'ust heard from i reasoning. i will 'ust say that 'ust heard from the i reasoning. i willjust say that 'ust heard from the man i reasoning. i willjust say that 'ust heard from the man himself. h reasoning. i willjust say thatjust heard from the man himself. he| reasoning. i willjust say that just - heard from the man himself. he says that it heard from the man himself. he says thatitis heard from the man himself. he says that it is the owner of a lifetime to join that it is the owner of a lifetime tojoin kamala harris in the campaign, i'm all in. vice president harris is showing us the politics of what is possible and reminds us of the first day of school. we just heard from him, you asked about the rationale behind the pig and as you say, we have heard from kamala harris who posted on why we look at some of the reasons why she said, it is similar to the conversation we had half an hour ago so. she said, one of the things that stood out to me about him was that his convictions on fighting for middle—class families. she said,

they run deep and she said, it is personal. she also talks about some of the things that our correspondence highlighting that he grew up in nebraska, he grew up on a farm in rural america. grew up in nebraska, he grew up on a farm in ruralamerica. he grew up in nebraska, he grew up on a farm in rural america. he also was a schoolteacher, he was a football coach, she talks about how his father died of cancer when he was 19. his family relied on social security benefits, to make ends meet. she then talks about the fact that he enlisted in the national guard, serving for 2h years. she then talks about some of his political record and how he used his gi bill to go to college so in a way what the campaign is looking to do is paint the idea that a man from small—town america who went on to become the governor. trying to appeal to those undecided, rural and middle america voters. with this kind of narrative, but also when you look down the statement, she is trying to highlight his political

record. he served in congress first and then went on to become the governor and the highlight in the statement, that he cut taxes for working families, they say that he passed a law to provide medical leave as well and one of the things that really stood out to me, was that really stood out to me, was that highlight the fact that he is a gun owner and even though he is an avid hunter he passed a bill which requires background checks for gun purchases. republicans are for it, up purchases. republicans are for it, up with their attacks, describing this pic is dangerous liberal. just briefl on this pic is dangerous liberal. just briefly on that, _ this pic is dangerous liberal. just briefly on that, donald trump's pic jd vance has attracted considerable criticism from some of his comments. what you make of that description by the trump campaign of him being a dangerously real liberal extremist. you think they are grappled by him? i think the way becausejoe biden decided he was not going to run in november's in action, in some ways

the trump campaign has been a little bit on the back foot. having had a summer where mr trump was ahead in all, many of the polls. he leads in many of the law shall super stick balls, it was going to the harris campaign and i think from a democratic perspective when you think to democratic providers. in many ways, we've heard from the campaign is unsurprising. their line of attack will be for whoever is on the ticket, and now we know it is mr balls but this is all about appeal in middle america. what is interesting to say is that he is also a swing state store. visiting some of the very same state that kamala harris and tybalt are going to be on as well so it does really feel like getting down to business. thank you very much. 0ur

satellite by protesters and bombs. there are lots of recommendation killings going on. that is also led to a lot of looting and people attacking each other, but things are settling down as we speak. the effort to set up an interim situation because many experts have said that if there is a delay there is a political vacuum and that leads to anarchy. so, there is an urgent need to set up this interim government and that is the first step now, they have dissolved parliament that will allow us to establish a government.- parliament that will allow us to establish a government. what is the timeline for— establish a government. what is the timeline for setting _ establish a government. what is the timeline for setting of _ establish a government. what is the timeline for setting of this _ timeline for setting of this government? to timeline for setting of this government?— timeline for setting of this government? to stabilise the economy. _ government? to stabilise the economy. and _ government? to stabilise the economy, and to _ government? to stabilise the economy, and to calm - government? to stabilise the economy, and to calm the - government? to stabilise the - economy, and to calm the political situation because you have the various systems, sit institutions and the government. they are going through various changes, and you see that in the army, the bureaucracy, all these things happening and

pupils also wantjustice for those killed, more than 300 people were killed. many were shot by police so all of these recommendations are going on but people think it can be from three months to six months where this caretaker administration will continue and then the elections can be called. but, nobody is talking about the elections at the moment because the immediate need is to restore law and order, establish a state and control over the country. a state and control over the count . ., , a state and control over the country-— a state and control over the count . ., , , country. nobel prize winner is the choice of the _ country. nobel prize winner is the choice of the student _ country. nobel prize winner is the choice of the student protesters l country. nobel prize winner is the | choice of the student protesters to lead that government. as he said that he is willing to do that? t that he is willing to do that? i spoke to the director and she said that he had agreed to be part of this administration, student leaders want him to be the chief advisor to this interim setup. at the moment, he is in paris, he is on his way to bangladesh so when he that he will have talks with the student leaders.

quite sunny, with scattered fair weather clouds and also a few showers. here's the weather front earlier on, it brought the cloud and the damp weather to southeastern parts of the uk. but there's another weather front also approaching northern ireland and western scotland. so, frequent showers here the second half of the day. the rest of us were in that bit in between. now the temperatures — 17 in belfast later in the afternoon, still hovering around the low to the mid 20s across eastern parts of england. now the forecast for this evening shows frequent showers in western scotland, some in northern ireland. elsewhere, just the odd shower. 0therwise, lengthy clear spells. the morning temperatures will range from around 11—13c, whether you're in the south of the country or further north. but notice quite a wet start in the western isles with this weather front close to the centre of the low pressure, and also here the winds will be quite strong, gusting in excess of 40 miles an hour, particularly around the coasts but also inland. showers also expected across northern england, but further south

the weather should be dry with scattered fairweather clouds once again. and the temperatures — a chilly 13 in windswept stornoway. in the south of the country, more like the low 20s. now on thursday, a weather front sweeps off the atlantic. this is the next one with more extensive layered cloud and some outbreaks of rain. initially, yesterday, the rain was going to be further south, but now it looks as though it will spread further north across the uk. so this is where the heaviest of the rain will be. the south actually may not get much rainfall at all, particularly east anglia and the south east. it is going to be relatively humid air spreading our way. come friday we're expecting more weather fronts in the north, so perhaps frequent showers here, but also very blustery conditions. again, 40 mile an hourwinds. the rest of the country should see lighter winds, and it will be a generally dry and sunny day, with highs reaching 25 in london. for most of us, it's going to be the low 20s. as we go through the weekend into next week, there's just a hint that, temporarily, things may get quite hot across parts of england,

but at the moment it's just the chance. that's it from me.
