hello i'm martine croxall. donald trump said he is safe and well after what the fbi described as a second apparent assassination attempt against him. the service agent spotted an assault rifle poking out of bushes on the former president's golf course within 700 metres of where he was playing. the agent opened fire. the suspect who fled in a car was later arrested. police had searched his home in north carolina. joe biden and his president kamala harris both expressed relief that mr trump had not been hurt. security had been tightened around the republican presidential election candidate after an assassination attempt in july. graham satchell reports.

it's blocked. they blocked it off. the i—95 in florida, and pictures taken by a passing motorist show a large number of police surrounding a vehicle. law enforcement officers have just detained a man suspected of attempting to assassinate donald trump. he was driving the black car seen here at the side of the road. the former president was playing golf on his own course when a number of gunshots were heard. a secret service agent had spotted a rifle being pointed from bushes at the edge of the course. 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 engage that individual, at which time the individual took off. the police recovered what they say is an ak 47 style rifle with a scope, two backpacks containing ceramic tiles, and a gopro camera. we are not sure right now if the individual was able to take a shot at our agents, but for sure our agents were able to to engage

with the subject. and, you know, that's a little bit old, that chart... - it is just a matter of weeks since the last assassination attempt on donald trump happened. gunfire. he was shot and injured at a campaign rally in pennsylvania. just moments later, he was on his feet and shouting "fight, fight," to the crowd. after this latest attempt, the former president put out a brief statement. "there were gunshots in my vicinity," he said, "but before rumours start spiralling out of control, i wanted you to hear this first. i am safe and well. nothing will slow me down. i will never surrender. vice president kamala harris said, "i've been briefed on reports of gunshots fired near former president trump and his property in florida. i am glad he is safe. violence has no place in america." police have now raided the former

home of the suspect in this case. he's been named by american media as 58—year—old ryan routh. on social media, routh claims to have fought against russian forces in ukraine. donald trump left his golf course under heavy security a few hours after the thwarted attack. there will be questions about how a man with a rifle was able to get so close to the former president, but donald trump has praised the secret service for their response and says he will continue to campaign this week. graham satchell, bbc news. tom bateman is outside the palm beach golf course where the incident took place and he gave this update. over the coming hours, there will be much focus on the suspect, named by us media as ryan wesley routh, a 58—year—old former construction worker from north carolina. what the police have said is that

the suspect was apprehended around 40 the suspect was apprehended around a0 miles north of here, in a vehicle that they had traced from the scene here, a black nissan, spotted by an eyewitness who was then stopped by the local sheriff north of here on the local sheriff north of here on the interstate highway and the suspect apprehended and the vehicle then searched. the suspect is now being held in ajail then searched. the suspect is now being held in a jail in the county. what we expect in the next few hours, in the morning, is that that person will be transferred back south down here to west palm beach and the potential then for a court appearance. we heard from law enforcement officials during that news conference earlier that if they decide to book him, they can then press charges locally here but there is also of course the distinct possibility of federal charges because there is an fbi investigation now leading all of this. to give you a sense of the

geography here, just behind me is the sign for the trump international golf club. this corner here, behind the bushes here, is hole six of the golf course. that is where donald trump was heading towards. he was between the fifth and the six holes according to the police and it was that advanced security sweep by the secret service that started the barrel of that assault rifle pointing through a chain link fence and it was that very fact that it appears ultimately protected donald trump because those secret service agents fired towards the suspect. what remains unclear is whether or not the suspect fired either at that secret service agent or at donald trump himself. we don't have that confirmed yet. the police and the fbi were asked that question in the news conference. they say that whether or not a shot was fired or shots were fired by the suspect

still remains part of their investigation for stock tom bateman. the bbc verify team has been looking at social media profiles which match the name of the alleged suspect ryan routh. here's our news analysis editor ros atkins. out colleagues at cbs have spoken to sources who have indicated that the suspect is called ryan routh, and with that name bbc verify was able to start looking at different social media platforms to see if we could find accounts that match that name. and we have — we've managed to identify several social media accounts in that name. we've then cross—referenced some of the content on those accounts with an image that allegedly shows a man being arrested at the scene on the highway near to donald trump's golf course. and if we look at those accounts, a number of themes emerge. first of all, go back to 2020, and there is a post on twitter now called x, in which the man directly addresses donald trump and says,

"i voted for you in 2016", but then says that "we were all greatly disappointed, will be glad when you're gone", he says in this tweet. so that was back in 2020. more recently, a lot of the social media output on these accounts has been around ukraine. we know that the man in these accounts is involved in organising forforeign volunteers to go to ukraine tojoin the fight against russia. he featured, he was quoted in an article on just that subject in the new york times last year. there's also a video that bbc verify has seen on youtube, which appears to show him in the ukrainian capital kyiv, again talking about the issue of the west's approach to ukraine, and particularly about the issue of volunteers coming to ukraine. and it's clear in a number of these posts across a number of platforms that he is frustrated about the west's approach to ukraine. he feels that more should be done. so that is coming out again and again. of course, we have to be cautious about this because we're still

learning details about who this person is, and we don't have a huge amount of confirmed detail from the authorities themselves. however, it is relevant based on that sourcing from cbs and based on the research that bbc verify has done, that these themes are coming out from those social media accounts. ross atkins. my colleague lucy hockings has been speaking to barry donadio, a former secret service agent who worked in the white house protecting president bush and president obama. when there is an assassination attempt and it is officially determined it was an assassination attempt against a sitting president, attempt against a sitting president, a former president or a nominee for president of one of the parties, the fbi will take over that. they take over that investigation. but what you have to realise, we use words like they take over the investigation. the reality is, the fbi works closely with all law enforcement in most of these types of cases. it actually becomes

basically a joint task force, so they can reach out to not only other fbi officers but other law enforcement entities where this individual may have been known. they will also work with intelligence agencies to see if any of the information comes back about this individual where he may have been part of a state—sponsored assassination attempt or any type of terrorist group. find assassination attempt or any type of terrorist groun— assassination attempt or any type of terrorist grown-— terrorist group. and what do you make of the _ terrorist group. and what do you make of the evidence _ terrorist group. and what do you make of the evidence that - terrorist group. and what do you make of the evidence that the i terrorist group. and what do you | make of the evidence that the fbi has got so far? i have heard it described here in the us as being a gold mine, given we have to go pro, the gun, the car, all sorts of crucial pieces of evidence the fbi will have already? it is crucial pieces of evidence the fbi will have already?— will have already? it is very tellin: will have already? it is very telling and _ will have already? it is very telling and it _ will have already? it is very telling and it is _ will have already? it is very telling and it is telling - will have already? it is very telling and it is telling on . will have already? it is very - telling and it is telling on many different levels. one, the fact, let's look at both of the july assassination attempt and this one, this is twice better shooter has been able to get within 500 yards, which at that particular weapon, and

s an ak—a7,, their max effective range is a50 yards, especially with a scope. so trump was estimated to be within a00—500 yards of this individual. so twice now, somebody has been able to get within that distance. that is something that the fbi should be able to take into account because now it it has gone beyond just a simple dropping of the ball of tactics where these threat assessments are not being done properly. the individual himself left what appears to be notjust properly. the individual himself left what appears to be not just a backpack but possibly two ballistic plates that are tied and hung up against that defence and he had the rifle in between those, which meant he was ready for a potential shoot—out. we wanted to record it and then he went to the car and they located the vehicle with him in it, the go pro, if he had any other issues or things that were recorded

on there, and his social media. this individual, unlikejuly, has not had his social media scrubbed, so the fbi will be able to look at that and determine who this guy is as far as social media tells and then they hopefully get his bones and things like that and be able to scrub those as well to see if he has any other contacts that could have been involved. a former fbi agent. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

the former bbc news presenter huw edwards could find out later what he'll be sentenced to, after admitting making indecent photographs of children. the 63—year—old is due to appearfor a hearing at westminster magistrates' court today. the chief magistrate may decide, though, that he doesn't have sufficient sentencing powers and could send the case up to a crown court. helena wilkinson reports. this was huw edwards arriving

at westminster magistrates' court. who else is involved? who else? within an hour, he would plead guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children. huw edwards had been in an online chat on whatsapp with a man who sent him 377 sexual images. ai were indecent photographs and videos of children. two of them showed a child aged between about seven and nine. there are 650 mps. huw edwards was one of the most high—profile broadcasters in the uk. tonight at ten thousands of police... as presenting the ten o'clock news, he fronted major national events for the bbc, including election. ..and royal coverage. bbc television is broadcasting this special programme reporting

the death of her majesty the queen. the former bbc newsreader was suspended lastjuly. the sun had published a story about sordid images being bought by an unnamed tv presenter from a young person. he was later named as the presenter by his wife, and police said there was no evidence that a crime had been committed. huw edwards was then arrested over the possession of other images unrelated to the original allegations. in february, the bbc apologised for not reacting more quickly to the original complaint from the family of the young person. then in april, huw edwards resigned from the bbc. two months later, he was charged with making indecent images of children. the charges were only made public a month later. at the end ofjuly, huw edwards appeared in court and pleaded guilty. the bbc is now trying to get back £200,000 in salary, which huw edwards earned

after he was arrested until he resigned. speaking to a parliamentary committee last week, the bbc�*s director general, tim davie, said a formal request had been made. the bbc's position is clear the money should be returned. and we've made the request. 0k. did you set a deadline? i don't believe we set a deadline. but we do expect to make progress and get an answer. bbc chair samir shah has admitted that what huw edwards did has damaged the reputation of the corporation. he said he was shocked to find out that huw edwards had been charged, and that he had betrayed the trust of the nation. that's bbc news at ten. up until last year, huw edwards was the bbc�*s most high profile and highest paid newsreader. now he's a convicted sex offender, waiting to find out his punishment for the crimes he's committed. helena wilkinson, bbc news.

poland is set to declare a state of natural disaster, as extreme flooding extends across parts of central and eastern europe, and torrential downpours are forecast to continue until at least the end of monday. at least three people have died in poland, five have been killed in romania, while in austria, a fire fighter died tackling the floods there. several people remain unaccounted for in the czech republic. some parts of poland have faced the worst flooding in almost three decades and a bridge collapsed in this historic polish town near the czech border. let's speak to our correspondent rob cameron who's in prague for us. tell us the latest situation there and what is likely to happen throughout the day. figs and what is likely to happen throughout the day.- and what is likely to happen throughout the day. as you can robabl throughout the day. as you can probably see. _ throughout the day. as you can probably see, there _ throughout the day. as you can probably see, there is - throughout the day. as you can probably see, there is still- throughout the day. as you can | probably see, there is still quite throughout the day. as you can i probably see, there is still quite a lot of rain in the clouds across

this country. there is a sense of cautious optimism that the worst perhaps there is now behind us. if i just step away, you can see the river here in prague, this time yesterday, that river was pretty much half the way across that embankment, now it isjust lapping over the edge of it. so there is a sense at least here in this part of the city, in the capital of the city, that the rivers have culminated and they will not get any higher and the flow is beginning now to lesson and beginning to ebb. on the other side of the country, however, the very north—eastern part of the country, dare the situation is still critical. rivers there are beginning to fall a little bit but they are obviously leaving behind them a devastation which is now becoming clear as the clouds part and the emergency services get a

better view of what destruction has been wreaked on these towns and villages. small towns in the mountains of the country, many of which were completely cut off by these floods, they have suffered considerable damage. a number of houses have fallen into the river. about 10,000 people in total have been evacuated. so if there is more rain today, on monday, then that is obviously bad news for that region, which is onlyjust recovering from this catastrophe.— which is onlyjust recovering from this catastrophe. new border controls come into force in germany today and will be effective for the next six months. they're part of berlin's response to rising migration concerns amid a surge in far—right sentiments and recent violent incidents involving asylum seekers. the government has promised to speed up deportations of migrants who have no right to stay in germany. charities in the uk have called

on the government to find a new approach to dealing with migrants — after the deaths of eight more people trying to cross the english channel in a small boat. they were among 60 in a boat which hit rocks off the french coast on saturday night. it's understood the vessel was carrying people from eritrea, sudan, syria and iran. let's speak to our reporter simonjones in ambleteuse. just explain how this boat got into trouble. there is a sense of weariness on both sides of the channel that once again, we are talking about loss of life at sea. in the early hours of yesterday morning, dangerously overloaded boat with around 60 people set off from the coastline here. it didn't get very far before getting caught on rocks and the boat was simply torn apart. eight people lost their lives. around 50 people were rescued, six of those taken to hospital, including a ten—month—old

baby with hypothermia, but the boat was brought back to shore. really, you couldn't believe so many people try to get on board that boat. what was telling as there is actually a child's rubber ring, the type of thing you would use in a swimming pool thing you would use in a swimming pool, that had been given to someone to act as a life jacket. in fact, of the 60 people also on board, only around ten people had life jackets. so what it shows is the smugglers are packing more and more people onto these boats, trying to make more and more profit out of this human misery and so you have the authorities here and on the other side of the channel talking about the need to go after those criminal gangs and break them up. what the need to go after those criminal gangs and break them up.- gangs and break them up. what is bein: gangs and break them up. what is being done _ gangs and break them up. what is being done to _ gangs and break them up. what is being done to give _ gangs and break them up. what is being done to give people - gangs and break them up. what is being done to give people safe - being done to give people safe passage, simon?— being done to give people safe passage, simon? well, this is what the charities _ passage, simon? well, this is what the charities are _ passage, simon? well, this is what the charities are saying, _ passage, simon? well, this is what the charities are saying, is - passage, simon? well, this is what the charities are saying, is that - passage, simon? well, this is what the charities are saying, is that in l the charities are saying, is that in order to stop people risking their lives on the world's busy shipping lane, there have to be more safe and legal routes for people who want to get to the uk perhaps because they

have family members there. the government in the uk will argue there are schemes such as people from afghanistan can apply directly if they worked for uk authorities, we also obviously have the scheme that brought a lot of people from ukraine over to the uk. but for most people, the only way that they can claim asylum in the uk is actually to get there, to be physically there, and the charities are saying that means people are forced to make dangerous crossings.— dangerous crossings. simon, for the moment, dangerous crossings. simon, for the moment. thank— dangerous crossings. simon, for the moment, thank you. _ the british prime minister, sir keir starmer, will discuss issues including migration with the italian prime minister in rome later today. let's speak to our southern europe correspondent mark lowen who's in rome for us. some ideas to share about how to tackle illegal migration?— tackle illegal migration? indeed, ital is the tackle illegal migration? indeed, italy is the country _ tackle illegal migration? indeed, italy is the country in _ tackle illegal migration? indeed, italy is the country in the - tackle illegal migration? indeed, italy is the country in the eu - tackle illegal migration? indeed, italy is the country in the eu that receives the highest number of migrant rivals, but in the last eight months, there has been a 6a%

drop in small boats crossings here. it has been a dramatic drop between last year and this year. keir starmer in his inaugural visit to rome as prime minister will want to find out from his italian counterpart how that has happened. i can tell you how one of the reasons it has happened, is because in both italy and the eu, they have given a lot of money to tunisia principally and also to libya, the two countries from which the migrants have departed in recent months and years. last year, the eu gave tunisia 105 million euros and italy struck a separate deal with it to give another 100 million to tunisia as a financial incentive to encourage the tunisian government to boost its coastguard capabilities and clamp down on the boats leaving. but also what italy is doing is it is building two reception centres in neighbouring albania, which would house migrants and asylum seekers who are picked up in international

waters, up to 36,000 of them per year, and they will be there while they would make an asylum claim to italy. if that asylum claim is rejected, they will be deported but the idea behind it as it retrieve the idea behind it as it retrieve the pressure in italy and keir starmer has said this is an off shoring model that he is very interested in and this is something he will discuss with his italian counterpart. he will discuss with his italian counterpart-— he will discuss with his italian counterpart. interesting optics because these _ counterpart. interesting optics because these two _ counterpart. interesting optics because these two leaders - counterpart. interesting optics l because these two leaders come counterpart. interesting optics - because these two leaders come from very different parts of the political spectrum? very different parts of the olitical sectrum? ~ ,,., , ,, political spectrum? absolutely. sir keir starmer— political spectrum? absolutely. sir keir starmer started _ political spectrum? absolutely. sir keir starmer started off _ political spectrum? absolutely. sir keir starmer started off politics . political spectrum? absolutely. sir keir starmer started off politics as | keir starmer started off politics as a member of the youth socialist. georgia maloney started in politics as a member of the neofascist movement here. both leaders have risen up to their respective positions. she has distanced herself from her neofascist roots and need a

right—wing coalition here. keir starmer from the left wing. the access between london and rome is important. italy is the third biggest eu economy. keir starmer has been vocal in his desire to reset relations with his european counterparts post—brexit and after all the turmoil is of the conservative party. rishi sunak was the closest ally of giorgia meloni in europe. there may not be that close personal relationship between keir starmer and giorgia meloni, from different political sides, but they are keen to build on that and i think today's meeting will be an important component of that. mark, for the moment, thank you. let's remind you of our top story this hour, which you can find out more about on the bbc news website and the bbc news app. that is the second apparent attempted assassination on donald trump while he was playing golf in

florida. the suspect featured there is said to be a man by the name of ryan routh, who is 58. all sorts of information about him which you can find on our website. this is bbc news, stay with us. hello there. we have seen plenty of sunshine throughout the weekend. also if you outbreaks of rain for some but that is the last of the wet weather we will see for quite a few days yet because for much of next week, it is looking dry and settled. high pressure is dominant. more sunshine and it will feel warmer by day and milder by night. just watch out for the possibility of some rather murky mornings with mist and fog patches developing, especially where the winds stay light. here is the area of high pressure building on from the south—west, centred more or less right across the uk as we

had three monday, deflecting these low—pressure systems towards the north and west. as we head into monday morning itself, there will be some mist and fog particularly for north west england, south scotland perhaps. my older towards the south with the legacy of cloud for a while, cool us towards the north and east but a whole range of temperatures is based out of the day. they may and the fog will readily lift and clear as we head through the morning and there will be plenty of sunshine around, lots of blue skies. high cloud turning the sunshine hey at times, more of a breeze towards the far south than these. one or two isolated showers for kent but still unlikely. more cloud for northern ireland later on in the day and temperatures in the high teens or low 20s, 21 for parts of central and eastern england. it is close to the seasonal average. on tuesday, we could see any mist and fog across parts of yorkshire, lincolnshire, down through the east midlands. more than north—easterly wind and a bit more cloud for north west scotland. with the

south—westerly wind blowing, for parts of the marie firth, the highlands, temperatures could reach 21 or 22. certainly feeling warm here. wednesday and thursday, their high pressure starts to meander further northwards and eastwards, still dried towards the north. towards the south, more of an easterly breeze takes hold but it will be feeling warm here. again, a more noticeable north—easterly blow, windy through the channel by 2a degrees in central southern england and south—east england. again, 21 or 22 for those sheltered areas of scotland. so here is the outlook for our capital cities as we head through the week, with a lot of sunshine. it is dry and settled. we could potentially see a few showers break out on friday. bye—bye.

this is bbc news, the headlines. us police are investigating the background of a suspect arrested after shots were fired at a florida golf course where donald trump was playing. the fbi says it's being investigated as a possible assassination attempt. mrtrump was unharmed. tiktok in the dock. a crucial court hearing for the social media giant that could decide its future in the us market. we begin in the us with what the fbi says was an apparent attempt

to assassinate donald trump at his golf course in florida. mrtrump was unharmed. my colleague lucy hockings is in washington with all of the details. the fbi is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination against former president donald trump. shots were fired in his vicinity on his palm beach golf course in florida, one of his golf courses, while playing with a colleague. it is understood secret service agents opened fire on a suspect, who fled the scene by car. we have heard from the campaign team of donald trump, they released a statement quite quickly, in which the former president said... there were gunshots in my vicinity but before rumours start spiralling out of control, i wanted you to hear this first. i am safe and well. that comment from donald trump. more

since then. he has reassured people and told them he will keep fighting. the moment security services surrounded the suspect has been released. he was detained in martyn county by the sheriff's of this. he was travelling in a northbound area of interstate 25 following an alert told to be on the lookout for this vehicle seen leaving the golf course in palm beach county. us media quickly gave us a name and it is ryan raul. we have some details about him. he is 58 and from the state of hawaii. there are other things have emerged about him as well. we have been looking into the reports. looking at social media post showing he was deeply involved in efforts to get foreign fighters into ukraine to battle against the russian army. more details are not on the bbc news website. they verify team have a post up and running.

let's take you back to what happened on the golf course. quite an extensive briefing from security services. at 1:30pm, a call came out and shots were fired. because we are in constant contact with them all at the time, we were notified of that and had units here that immediately sealed off the area. fortunately we are 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. i took a picture of the vehicle and that's had, which was great. we had that information. it was put out to the license plate readers. we were able to get a hit on that vehicle as it was headed into martyn county. we

got a hold of martyn county sheriff is my office, alerted them and they spotted the vehicle and pulled over and detained the guy. after that we took the witness that witnessed the incident, flew him up there and he identified as the person who jumped out of the bushes and into the car. in the bushes where this guy was is an ak—a7 style rifle with a scope two backpacks with ceramic tile in them and go broke and he was going to take pictures with those are being processed right now. the secret service agent on the course did a fantasticjob. what they do is a at an agent thatjumps one how ahead of the one the president is out. he spotted the rifle barrel and engage the individual, at which time

the individual took off. that is what we know about the investigation. we have somebody in custody right now. as we usually do, as soon as we decided we would put him into countyjail, we will get those to you and we will get a picture and get you his background. in the past few hours we have also heard from homeland security, who have sent some images to show they are secret service agents and homeland security. they are searching the former home of the man in greensboro, north carolina. the fbi in charge of the investigation and extensive places are taking place in north carolina. there has been reaction across the political divide. kamala harris is saying she is deeply disturbed by the possible

assassination attempt of the former president and she said as we gather the facts, i will be clear, i condemn political violence. we'll must do our part to ensure this incident does not lead to more violence. i am thankful that former president trump is safe. i commend the us secret service and law enforcement partners for their vigilance. as president biden said, our administration will ensure the secret service has every resource capability and protective measure in order to carry out its critical mission to protect the former president because there had been huge criticism of the secret service after the first assassination attempt that at this time round widespread praise for their actions, particularly for the one agent he managed to spot the ak—a7 and the bushes and those that apprehended him as well. let's speak to daniel.

it doesn't quite have the emotional have to up their first assassination attempt. donald trump was safe straightaway and quickly moved away from the golf course. you get a feeling that people are very sharp here in the us over what has happened. how do you think it will change the campaign? tiara happened. how do you think it will change the campaign? two months ago, after trum - change the campaign? two months ago, after trump survived _ change the campaign? two months ago, after trump survived the _ change the campaign? two months ago, after trump survived the first _ after trump survived the first attempt use all the raised fist and him yelling fight, fight, fight. that was a strong image showing he was resilient. you do not have an image like this this time. thankfully, no bullet was taken out from the gunman and he didn't have to go to the hospital, he was rushed back to his resort. anyone who was sympathetic towards him last time i maybe went to his side probably is already on his side. i don't think

he will get a huge bump from this but it is a reminder of how heated the campaign is and how we have a mental health crisis in this country that leads to people with a screw loose and are out for blood. political leaders are all saying they condemn political violence. another statement from kamala harris in the last few hours and president biden as well. this is the second attempt on donald trump's life in the last few months and in a deeply divided country. could this be the new political reality? the conversation _ new political reality? the conversation is, - new political reality? the conversation is, are - new political reality? the conversation is, are they| new political reality? tue: conversation is, are they going new political reality? tta: conversation is, are they going to be feature attempts? if he loses, how are they going to protect him? he is entitled to some down time. he loves to play golf. it is really

hard to reject a golf course. i have been to palm beach multiple times and seen that golf course. unless they are going to have agent after agent across every foot or yard for that golf course, he might be endangered. you also had to weigh the impact on local residents. do you shut down that road that is close by when he is golfing or do you try to put more local law enforcement also, after the election to the temperatures cool down. kind ofjazzed up. reduce further attempts on political violence. we saw nancy pelosi to smack husband get attacked. he was shot on a

baseball field more than a decade ago. sadly with america being so divided this is one of the consequences of that. has always committed _ consequences of that. has always committed to _ consequences of that. has always committed to get _ consequences of that. has always committed to get your _ consequences of that. has always committed to get your thoughts. | committed to get your thoughts. thank you very much forjoining us. let's talk to barry, a former secret service agent who worked in the white house protecting other presidents. good to see you. there was so much criticism of the secret service after the first assassination attempt in pennsylvania. they have been widely praised today for their actions. what are your thoughts on how they operated today and their actions? they did exactly what they were supposed to do. the advance team ahead of the president detected somebody who was a threat. they engaged that threat and that threat was removed. the president was

many as six shots fired. i am not sure if he was hit or not. at that time, otheragents sure if he was hit or not. at that time, other agents would be calling on the radio to get the president of the golf course to as a fellow patient is that they did appropriately and exactly what they were supposed to do. we appropriately and exactly what they were supposed to do.— appropriately and exactly what they were supposed to do. we have been heafina were supposed to do. we have been hearing about _ were supposed to do. we have been hearing about some _ were supposed to do. we have been hearing about some of— were supposed to do. we have been hearing about some of the _ hearing about some of the difficulties of protecting president trump in this country which is so divided at the moment. even something like a golf course former president trump likes to go out on. how concerned are you at the moment about the challenge that exists for secret service agents on duty protecting him in such a pressurised environment? the protecting him in such a pressurised environment?— environment? the secret service aaents environment? the secret service agents have _ environment? the secret service agents have a — environment? the secret service agents have a tough _ environment? the secret service agents have a tough job - environment? the secret service agents have a tough job on - environment? the secret service agents have a tough job on a - environment? the secret service . agents have a tough job on a regular day. no mistakes are allowed. you had to be 100% every single time. as

for more security, i would like to see more security and more protection, not only full former president trump but also president biden and kamala harris as well. they had to up the level. right now there is a tense time in the united states, something is going on, someone is attacking this president, president trump. whether it is a lone gunman or whether it is fashionable to do it to him, they will had to rise to the occasion. they will need tactical teams out there. everywhere this man goes, that will need to be tactical teams sweeping wood lines anywhere he goes. it is the state of the world we are in at this time. until the threat goes down, that is what they will have to do. they will have to find manpowerfrom summer will have to do. they will have to find manpower from summer or get people who they trust, whether local

law enforcement swat teams or any element of the special operations division, they will need to be out there and get more resources out there and get more resources out there to prevent this. i have a feeling there will be other copycat potential attacks like this. in this day and age, it is possible and we have to be ready for it. our presenter in washington, lucy hockings, spoke tojulie harris, president of the national federation of republican women, who gave us her reaction. from the time i left daytona beach until i landed back in dc, there had been this second assassination attempt as i was getting on the plane. my plane had been delayed several times, so it's a little disconnected from the world, and i had heard that there had been shots fired in the vicinity of the president. but by the time i landed, it was clear that there had been a second assassination attempt. it's a tragic day. it's very sad for america. this is not who we are. this is not how we handle our political differences

with our opponent. i reject the notion that this is going to become a trend in american politics. it can't become a trend. we stand for democracy. we need to get back to debating policy and stop dehumanising one another. the left has called president trump hitler. they have dehumanised him. they have said he's a threat to democracy. what do you do if you feel like someone is really threatening your freedom? we don't know if these are lone, crazy people or if it is a state sponsored terror of some sort. if it's a foreign enemy, a conspiracy, we need the facts. we don't even have all the details from the last assassination. and now we... assassination attempt. excuse me. and now we have a second attempt. we need to know what is going on here. we need the parameters around president trump to be expanded. we need to protect democracy by protecting

the presidential candidates. julie, would you like to see more protection? now, around the former president. there's some weeks to go still until the election. and you've also just reflected on how divided this country is and how heated some of the rhetoric is. do you think he needs further greater protection? absolutely, absolutely. and as i said, it's a part of protecting freedom, the right for these candidates to run for president, to have the differences, to have these debates and not to have assassination attempts against them. it is part of protecting freedom to protect president trump. i'll tell you one thing that this has done here. excuse me. one of the things that this has done, i was thinking as i was driving from the airport back to home,

i was thinking, you know, there will be very few people sleeping during this election. i think we're going to see a lot less apathy. they're going to choose a side one way or another because we have been woken up in america.

we start in the us, where tiktok is getting its day in court at a hearing that could decide its fate in the country. the social media platform is challenging a us law signed by presidentjoe biden earlier this year. it aims to compel its chinese parent company — bytedance — to sell the company or face a ban. tiktok claims it has more than 170 million users in the us. our north america technology correspondent lily jamali has more from san francisco. when the us congress passed the divest or ban measure this spring, they did

so with rare bipartisan support. lawmakers said tiktok could share the data of its 170 million american users with the chinese government, and opened the door to chinese propaganda. tiktok has denied those allegations. the company has called the measure an extraordinary intrusion on free speech rights. it will make its case before a three judge appeals court panel on monday, and will be joined by creators who make their living on the platform. department ofjustice lawyers will follow with the government's view. all the parties in the case have asked for a ruling by mid—december that would give the us supreme court the opportunity to take the case up before any potential ban could take effect. grace nelson is an analyst at assembly research and i asked what will happen in court today. today we are expected to see two different versions of a case play out about the law at the centre of this disagreement.

the us government will be for the first time giving us a look into those national security concerns under which they are proposing to ban tiktok or force investment from bytedance's and tiktok�*s perspective, they will try their case under the grounds of the first amendment of free—speech protections alleging the us government is infringing on the rights and liberties of not only the app on the platform which could have implications for how the us government can go forward and regulate social media under other contexts, but also for the approximately 170 million americans who use the app. tiktok is appealing for a speedy process — how long do you think this will take? given both parties have requested this case be heard by the supreme court no later than november 6th and any ban should the law be upheld

will go into effect onjanuary 19 2025, one day before a new president is inaugurated, i would expect not only a quick appeal be filed but also that appeal be picked up by the supreme court before that december 6th asking date. in the meantime, speculation about the outcome of this legal process. it's also been reported in the financial press that amazon and tiktok are deepening ties with amazon on the table as a possible buyer of tiktok. your thoughts on that? we have heard bytedance express pretty succinctly they do not believe a separation of tiktok from the company is feasibly commercially or legally. we have seen concerns that separating tiktok and the algorithm that powers the delivery of content to keep users would make the product a shell of its current self

as us users know it. we have also seen a prior partnership between data oracle in the us and tiktok through the project texas initiative. i would be surprised moving forward to see bytedance willing to off—load the asset to a us—only function. equally i would be surprised to see the us government accept anything less than a full divestment from the chinese firm. could the eu's schengen agreement and the free movement of people and goods be under threat? from today, germany will be implementing new border checks that will remain for the next six months, as the country attempts to curb the influx of illegal migrants. polish prime minister donald tusk has denounced the decision as "unacceptable" and germany has been accused of undermining the schengen agreement and the free movements of goods. i spoke earlier to the independent economist dr rebecca harding, who told me more about the background to

germany's latest actions. germany has been accused of undermining the schengen agreement before in 2015 when it opened its borders. we need to put this in perspective. since 2015, there have been aoa different border closures across the whole schengen region. so germany is not alone. the problem that germany has at the moment is a huge issue with its domestic politics, a huge issue with its economy and obviously with migration and terrorism as well. so germany has tried very hard to put this within a legal framework within eu law, and it is only for six months. so it's a temporary arrangement so that german politics can settle down a little bit. to some extent it's seen as an appeasement to the right wing in germany, but it's also... they're stressing very much indeed it's a temporary solution.

so they're saying it won't undermine schengen. so olaf scholz is just going to ride the wave of the political backlash in other countries in europe, as you say, to, to try and keep people on board within germany itself, where politically it's proving very tough for his party. exactly. so the cdu, csu, the conservatives have walked away from migration talks. they're saying this measure doesn't go far enough. but the problem that olaf scholz has is obviously that the economy is flatlining at the moment. it's very dependent on exports and export revenues. and the cost for germany alone of leaving schengen over a period of time will be around ?77 billion, which is very, very high indeed. so what he's trying to do is square circles — keep within european law and try and appease the right wing, because there have also been these elections, regional elections where the afd, the extreme right parties, anti—european parties have done so well.

so this is not the schengen agreement in crisis, in your opinion. it's something that will blow over. it's not the schengen agreement in crisis at the moment, but what it's done is it's created a really toxic environment within europe. i mean, migration has been toxic since 2015, so this isn't a new problem. it's been there for a very long while. what it's done is because it was done unilaterally and the polls are saying, donald tusk is saying, the french are saying this is done without consultation. so it's just disrupted that unity across europe. so it's added to the tensions that are within europe. and that's the real risk. i think. that it's just been done in a way that maybe was a little bit clumsy. um, and that threatened schengen because it fragments alliances that are there that are very fragile already around migration. just talking through the other

stories in business. plenty more to look at on the website. take a look at the top of the hour. we will be back with the latest that is happening in the united states. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. well, we've seen plenty of sunshine throughout the weekend. also a few outbreaks of rain for some, but that is the last of the wet weather that we'll see for quite a few days yet, because for much of next week it's looking dry and settled. high pressure dominant. more sunshine and it will feel warmer by day and milder by night too. just watch out for the possibility of some rather murky mornings with mist and fog patches developing, especially where the winds stay light. now here's that area of high pressure building in from the southwest. it's centred more or less right over the uk as we head through monday, deflecting these low pressure systems out towards the north and the west. now, as we head into monday morning

itself, there'll be some mist and fog, particularly for northwest england, southwest 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 clouds 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 northeasterly wind for east anglia, southeast 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. 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 2a 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.

live from london — this is bbc news. a 58—year—old man, ryan routh, has been named by us media as the suspect of sunday's apparent assassination attempt on donald trump. donald trump was left unharmed after gunshots were fired on a florida golf course where he was playing. the secret service agent who was on the course did a fantasticjob — he was able to spot the gun barrel sticking out of the fence and immediately engaged that individual. the suspect fled, but was then arrested after authorites surrounded his vehicle on a highway nearby. the former bbc news presenter huw edwards is due to appear at a hearing today, after he admitted to making indecent

photographs of children. poland declares a state of natural disaster, as extreme flooding wreaks havoc across central and eastern europe. the epicjapanese tale, shogun, becomes the first foreign language tv series to win the best drama award at the emmys. hello and welcome to the programme. i'm martine croxall. donald trump has said he is safe and well after what the fbi described as a second apparent assassination attempt against him. a secret service agent spotted an assault rifle poking out of bushes on the former president's florida golf course within several hundred metres of where he was playing. the agent opened fire. the suspect, who fled in a car, was later arrested. police have searched his home in north carolina. joe biden and his vice president, kamala harris, both expressed relief that mr trump had not been hurt.

security had been tightened around the republican presidential election
