we will make america safe again! donald trump in coachella, a town better known for its annual music festival than politics. but the former president was here in california campaigning for every vote he can get, even in this staunchly democratic state. and the security around him has never been tighter. before mr trump arrived at the event, the police stopped a man at a checkpoint who gave his name as vem miller and claimed to have a vip invitation to attend. but the police searched his car and say they found several guns and ammunition. he approached the outside perimeter. sheriff chad bianco, who is an elected official and has previously expressed support for donald trump, later spoke to reporters about the suspect who was taken into custody. what we do know is he showed up with multiple passports with different names, an unregistered vehicle with fake license plate and loaded firearms.

if you're asking me right now, i probably did have deputies that prevented the third assassination attempt. the us secret service said donald trump had not been in any danger, while federal officials said there was no indication of an assassination attempt connected to the incident, which is still under investigation. the suspect was later released and will appear in court at a later date on weapons charges. donald trump's campaign issued a statement thanking law enforcement for securing the rally site. lessons were learned when the former president was almost killed injuly while speaking in pennsylvania. that was before another alleged assassination attempt at his florida golf course in september. whether or not this weekend's incident was another attempt to harm mr trump, it highlights the intense efforts under way to keep him safe with just three weeks to go before the election.

peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. we will of course keep you right up to date with any development on that story as we get there. now, jon has more of the day's knees. a public inquiry into the salisbury nerve—agent poisonings opens today. the hearings will examine every detail of the incident which led to the death of dawn sturgess, after she inadvertently came into contact with a perfume bottle containing the substance novichok. our correspondent, duncan kennedy, has more. this was dawn sturgess just a week before she died. the tragic conclusion to months of events concerning spies, nerve agents and perfume bottles. dawn was 44 and the mother of three children. the story had begun four months earlier here in a quiet cul de sac in salisbury. it was the home not of dawn sturgess, but of a russian man.

he was sergei skripal, who's believed to have worked for british intelligence, and he became the target of an assassination attempt by moscow. he and his daughter yulia, who was visiting him, came to be poisoned with a nerve agent called novichok. the front door of mr skripal�*s house had been smeared with the agent. what happened here will be just one of the points of investigation for the new public inquiry. sergei skripal never did return to his home here and after months of decontamination work, it was later sold. the judge in the inquiry says neither mr skripal nor his daughter yulia will give live evidence because, he said, they still face a significant risk to their safety. central to the public inquiry will be the role these three men played. they're all believed to have worked for russian military intelligence. two of them were filmed in and around salisbury at the time sergei and yulia skripal were poisoned.

russia has always denied any involvement. it's believed the two men delivered the novichok in this perfume—like bottle that was discovered by the partner of dawn sturgess. charlie rowley took the bottle home to dawn and three days later she fell ill. their flat in amesbury was sealed off. dawn never recovered and died a few days later. in the years that followed, their home was demolished, leaving just a patch of grass and trees, as well as questions about how it had all happened. salisbury�*s mayor says everyone involved wants the new inquiry to bring justice. do we need a public inquiry? will we find anything else out that we don't know? possibly, but probably not. the stuff that is secret will stay secret forever, and that will never come out, rightly so. but i think for those directly affected, yeah, it's important that part

of the inquiry is held in the city where the event actually happened. the public inquiry is chaired by lord hughes of ombersley. it will hear evidence in salisbury and in london, and is due to report next year, producing the definitive version of this extraordinary, tragic story. duncan kennedy, bbc news. we will speak to duncan in salisbury later in the programme. israel says a hezbollah drone attack on a military base in the north of the country has killed four soldiers and left 58 other people injured. the iranian—backed group said the attack in binyamina, just south of the city of haifa, was in retaliation for israel's strikes on lebanon. our reporter vincent mcaviney has more. the aftermath of what hezbollah described as a swarm of attack drones on an israeli army training camp in binyamina, just south of haifa. many of those injured

israel says it was trying to rescue wounded soldiers. the un peacekeeping mission is insisting that its flags will continue to fly, despite israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu warning to get its troops out of the area while israeli forces fight hezbollah. meanwhile, in gaza, at least 22 palestinians were killed and 80 were wounded on sunday night in an israeli attack on a school which was sheltering displaced families. and all the while, the world awaits israel's response to iran's bombardment two weeks ago. it's unclear how, when and where they'll strike back, but only that despite fears it could lead to an all—out middle east war, they will do so soon. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. let's get more on this with our middle east correspondent yolande knell in jerusalem.

in england and will run until the end of march next year. it was extended following the government's decision to scrap the winter fuel allowance. £79 million is also available for devolved administrations. racheljones is the chief executive of act on energy, and joins us now. good of act on energy, and joins us now. morning. how this good morning. how much difference this cash from councils make? it’s this cash from councils make? it's auoin to this cash from councils make? it�*s going to make a huge difference to people. particularly because councils have a real direct understanding of the areas that they serve and they cover, and they run this sort of schemes and they have got local partnerships that can make sure it gets where it needs to get. there will be people watching this morning who are losing their winter fuel payments are thinking, how can i get this money from the local hardship fund, is my counsel
