11:01 pm
in the last few minutes we received a still of the moment when security services surrounded the suspect. the martin county sheriff's office detained the suspect on the northbound area of interstate 95. the sheriff's department said in a facebook post that it stopped a vehicle based on an alert to "be on the lookout" from palm beach county, and it shared photos of the detainment. let us listen again to the joint presser given by us law enforcement officials involved in the incident and investigation. at 1:30pm, a call come out — shots fired — called in by the secret service. because we are in constant contact with them all the time, we were notified of that and we had units that immediately sealed up the area. fortunately we were able to locate a witness that came to us and said, "hey, i saw the guy running out of the bushes, he jumped into a black nissan and i took a picture of
11:02 pm
the vehicle and the tag, which was great. we had that information. our real—time crime centre put it out to the licence plate readers, and we were able to get a hit on that vehicle on i95 as it was heading into martin county. we got a hold of martin county sheriff's office, alerted them, and they spotted the vehicle and pulled it over and detained the guy. after that, we took the victim — i'm sorry, the witness that witnessed the incident — took, flew him up there, and he identified the person that he saw running out of the bushes that jumped into the car. now, in the bushes where this guy was is an ak—lfl style rifle with a scope, two backpacks which were hung on the fence that had ceramic tile in them and a go pro which he was going to take pictures of. those are being processed right now.
11:03 pm
the secret service agent that was on the course did a fantasticjob. what they do is, they have an agent thatjumps one hole ahead of time to where the president was at, and he was able to spot this rifle barrel sticking out of the fence and immediately engaged that individual, at which time the individual took off. so that's what we know about the investigation. we have somebody in custody right now. it is a potential suspect, we got a little bit more work to do on it, but as we usually do, as soon as we decide we are going to book them into the county jail, and the charges he is going to be booked into, we'll get those to you and we get a picture of him and we'll get you his background. now that i am turning it on to the representative of the secret service and he is going to make a brief statement. good afternoon, everyone. i first want to thank all of our law enforcement brothers, to include the sheriffs office, for their involvement today.
11:04 pm
former president donald trump is safe and unharmed following a protective incident shortly before 2pm on sunday at trump international golf club at west palm beach. the us secret service personnel opened fire on a gunman located near the property line and this matter is under investigation. i will turn it over to my partners over at the fbi. good afternoon, everyone, - i am the special agent in charge of the fbi's miami field office. the fbi has assumed the role - as the lead federal law enforcement agency in the investigation. of the incident that occurred i earlier today at trump internationall golf course here in west palm beach, florida. we have deployed in number of resources, including - the investigative teams, - crisis response team members, bomb technicians and evidence .
11:05 pm
response team members as well. but we need right now— is for the public to avoid the area around the golf course. we will continue to support this investigation with the full- resources of the fbi. alongside our partners with - the united states secret service, and the palm beach sheriff's office, as well as part in county— sheriff's office, and state l and local law enforcement. i would ask that if anyone has any information that may assist - with this investigation, contact our tip line at i 1—800—call—fbi, or at tips@fbi.gov. thank you. i am state attorney for palm beach county. i want to think sheriff bradshaw and our partners at the local, state and federal levels.
11:06 pm
i am here because our prosecutors are currently working up warrants and a motion for pretrial detention for the suspect. in that way, he will be kept in custody, but our filing of these warrants and charges at the state level does not preclude federal charges that could be coming, but in the meantime, it looks like the warrants and patrol detention motion will happen first, and again i want to think the cooperation we have had with our federal partners and at the local level, and thank you all for being here today. we've also heard from vice president kamala harris. in a short statement, she said that she had been briefed on the incident. she has expressed relief over the safety of her opponent. she says, �*violence has no place in america'. the dispute uses soon after the event took place beasts have heard law enforcement officials saying the
11:07 pm
law enforcement officials saying the law —— fbi will take the lead into the investigation what more can you tell us? at this point what we know is that the secret service had already amped up the security around the former president because of what we saw happen in butler pennsylvania around two months ago. at this point the investigation is just getting under way. what we know as the secret service agent apparently spotted the alleged gunman as he was ahead of the former president who was coughing after he had spotted the gunman, apparently secret service agents engaged. at that point the suspect jumps service agents engaged. at that point the suspectjumps out service agents engaged. at that point the suspect jumps out from service agents engaged. at that point the suspectjumps out from the bushes and into the street. at this point according to officials is when a witness seizes someone running from the bushes and hitting into a black nissan vehicle. the nissan then travels towards the highway. at
11:08 pm
some point the individual that spotted the suspectjumping out from the bushes takes a picture of the licence plate of this vehicle. that individual then comes forward to the police. eventually police are able to apprehend someone in that vehicle, just north of here in martin county one jurisdiction away. at this point investigation is very early on and there is no sense of who this person is, the identity has not been released and the motive has not been released and the motive has not been released but the fbi do suspect this is a second attempt on the life of the former president. you mention it being a second attempt and referencing what happened in butler, pennsylvania. one of the key questions will be about the motive behind this incident as well. talk to us a bit of the impact of this given we are in the final stretch towards the november election. figs

11:11 pm
in this historic polish town near the czech border. our eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford has the latest from south—west poland. the river is raging through nysa, close to bursting its banks and putting everything in its path under huge pressure. in the town centre, streets have already disappeared under floodwater — just about passable for those determined to struggle home. but the level is rising fast. a few miles away, things are even worse. we couldn't reach glucholazy. the family who sent us this video were trapped in their home, as the local mayor declared the town was drowning. that's true for a large part of southwestern poland — at the foot of the mountains, after the torrential rains of storm boris. there is a giant rescue

operation already under way, but residents are being warned to get out before the waters reach their towns, not to risk waiting. in a school that's now a shelter, people are safe but disorientated. they took what they could. now they worry about everything they've left behind. translation: with the wind, with the rain, man won't win. | you can put out the fire, but you can't do anything else. the most important thing is that we are alive. the rest doesn't matter. across the border in the czech republic, there have been dramatic rescue scenes, too. soldiers and emergency workers winching people to safety. it is treacherous for everyone involved. this man made it to shore. but across central and eastern europe, these floods have already cost lives. and the danger is not receding. in nysa, soldiers have
11:13 pm
been drafted in too, in this case to rescue the rescuers. we've just turned a corner here in nysa and found this scene, which shows just how serious things are here. the military have just rolled in to try and rescue a fire truck, and firefighters, and another military truck that's trapped in the water here. and that used to be a road. now it's impassable, even for ambulances trying to evacuate the local hospital. and everyone here has been warned that there's worse to come. sarah rainsford, bbc news, nysa. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

11:23 pm
baby reindeer. this was an almost overnight success that show that people had not heard much of and all of a sudden itjust created so much intrigue. it was about an obsessive stalker and about sexual abuse and what happened in the aftermath of that series going on netflix was the audiences tried to start doing into the detective work trying to work out who the real life characters were that this show was based on the show claimed to be a true story. as a result of all of that fall out there is legal battles going on, but tonight they are hoping to do well on the red carpet and enjoy their success. so we will have to see how those british chosen to do against some of the big american hits. thea;r some of the big american hits. they did take a life _ some of the big american hits. they did take a life on _ some of the big american hits. they did take a life on beyond the screen as well. tell us about shogun. is it as well. tell us about shogun. is it a surprise given it is mostly in japanese?— a surprise given it is mostly in jaanese? . �*, ., .,, japanese? that's right. that has been a bigger—

11:26 pm
now, as we head into monday morning itself, there'll be some mist and fog, particularly for north—west england, south—west scotland, perhaps. it's milder towards the south with that legacy of cloud for a while. coolest out towards the north and the east, but a whole range of temperatures as we start off the day. now, the mist and the fog will readily lift and clear as we head through the morning, and there'll be plenty of sunshine around, lots of blue skies. high cloud turning the sunshine hazy at times. more of a breeze out towards the far south and the east. we could see one or two very isolated showers for kent, but it's still unlikely. more cloud for northern ireland later on through the day and temperatures in the high teens, the low 20s. 21 celsius for parts of central and eastern england — it's close to the seasonal average. and then on tuesday, well, we could see any mist and fog, really, across parts of yorkshire, lincolnshire, down through the east midlands, more of a north—easterly wind for east anglia, south—east england here and a bit more in the way of cloud for north—west scotland. but with a south—westerly wind blowing, then, for parts of the moray firth, the highlands, temperatures could reach 21 or 22 celsius, so certainly feeling warm here.
11:27 pm
wednesday and thursday, our area of high pressure starts to meander further northwards and eastwards. it's still dry towards the north. towards the south, we'll see more of an easterly breeze take hold, but it is going to be feeling warm here. again, there's a more noticeable north—easterly blow. windy through the channel, perhaps, but 24 celsius in central—southern england and south—east england, and again 21 or 22 celsius for those sheltered areas of scotland. so here's the outlook for our capital cities, then, as we head through the week. there's a lot of sunshine around. it's dry and it's settled. we could potentially see a few showers break out on friday. bye— bye.
