as democrats reflection on their election loss ballot counting continues, with control of the us house of representatives still in the balance. attacks on israeli football fans in amsterdam leave at least five people in hospital with world leaders condemning the violence. the us government has charged an iranian man in connection with an alleged plot to assassinate president elect donald trump before the presidential election. thejustice department unsealed criminal charges on friday that allege an unnamed official in iran's paramilitary revolutionary guard instructed

the man to create a plan to surveil and kill trump. this was in september. officials added that the man has not been arrested and is believed to still be in iran. the department says, it also charged two others who were allegedly recruited to kill an american journalist. our north america editor sarah smith reports. enjoying his victory on tuesday night. donald trump could also celebrate surviving the campaign — after two serious attempts to kill him and a separate iranian assassination plot. as you know, there have been two assassination attempts on my life that we know of, and they may or may not involve, but possibly do, iran. president biden said it would constitute an act of war if iran tried to kill donald trump, after us intelligence services warned of a specific iranian plot. we've been threatened very directly by iran, and i think you have to let

them know, because the best way to do it is through the office of the president — that you do any attacks on former presidents or candidates for president, your country gets blown to smithereens, as we say. what happened... gunshots donald trump narrowly survived being killed at a rally in butler, pennsylvania, when a bullet grazed his ear. the gunman was killed at the scene and his motives remain unknown. keep walking! another would—be assassin was arrested when he was discovered with a semi—automatic rifle hiding in the bushes when donald trump was playing golf. he was angry about the war in ukraine. top iranian general qasem soleimani was killed in a us drone strike in iraq at the end of donald trump's first term as president. he considers that a very proud achievement. soleimani has been perpetrating acts of terror to destabilise the middle east for the last 20 years. what the united states

did yesterday should have been done long ago. the iranian regime insists donald trump should face trial for what the united nations declared to be an unlawful killing of general soleimani, and has said that if he is not tried in court, then iran will take its revenge. president—elect trump will surely now be considering his response to iran. sarah smith, bbc news, west palm beach. our correspondent nada tawfiq has more details now from florida on that alleged plot by iran. a plot by iran. spokesperson for the president—elect a spokesperson for the president—elect donald trump says he is aware of the alleged assassination plot and that nothing will deter him from returning to the white house. the fbi and department of justice say that an afghan national who actually immigrated to the united states as a child then spent time in prison and was therefore deported to iran, that he came

forward with intelligence. intelligence which he said was based on his conversations with iranian officials who had hired him to assassinate donald trump. he says he was told by officials in the iranian revolutionary guard that money was no object and they wanted him to come up with a plan for him to come up with a plan for him and others within his criminal network to assassinate donald trump within seven days and they said if they would not able to do it within that timeframe that allegedly they should wait until after the election because they presumed donald trump would lose and they would he would be easier to kill. this afghan national again at large allegedly came forward with this information to the fbi because he was seeking a later sentence for his friends who are in prison in the united states. elsewhere, former us house speaker nancy pelosi has suggested president biden should have abandoned his

re—election campaign sooner than he did. in an interview with the new york times, she said an earlier exit would have allowed the democratic party to hold a competitive primary process to replace him. we've also heard from democratic vice presidential candidate tim walz for the first time since the election. he acknowledged it is hard to lose but he says he's looking towards the future. it's hard to understand, while so many of our fellow citizens, people that we have fought so long and hard for, wound up choosing the other path. it's hard to reckon with what that path looks like over the next four years. so if you're feeling deflated, discouraged today, i get it. take some time. take care of yourselves. take care of your loved ones, take care of your community. there's a million ways to make a positive difference and get back in this fight when you're ready. while the race for the white house is over more than a dozen races are still being decided in the us house

of representatives. as things stand, our us news partner cbs characterises house control as lean republican. democrats have currently secured 208 seats in the house while republicans control 215 seats. 218 seats are needed in order to have the majority. republicans have already secured control of the senate. winning a majority of house seats will make it easier for the party to advance president elect donald trump's priorities. one of donald trump's key promises is to deport large numbers of undocumented migrants. crossings over the mexican border are at record levels. although they have since decreased. but critics of the proposal say wholesale deportations would be both cruel and impractical. this week's election saw a surge in support for mr trump from hispanic and latino voters.

four years ago, 32% of people from those communities backed him for president. most of those who voted supported joe biden. this week's election saw a surge in support for mr trump from hispanic and latino voters. our north america correspondent emma vardy reports from the border state of arizona. illegal aliens are stampeding into america by the millions. we will do large deportations. we're going to get these people out. migrants have long been part of the foundations of america. now, donald trump warns, those who come here are facing a new era. his election victory showed his surge in popularity among many long—standing latino workers, likejorge, whose family moved from mexico 20 years ago. i think he has the right tools for thejob. when he says he's going to carry out mass deportations, what do you think? statistically, that's impossible. he's not going to be able to deport 12 million people that are here illegally. you learn to develop a thick skin, especially coming from where we come from. we don't pay attention to a lot

of the things that people say, because we know those are just words. it's not personality, but what they believe donald trump can achieve politically they're counting on. translation: as a person, i don't like him, _ but as a politician, i like how he ran the economy. but for the villalobos family, who've made america their home for generations, they worry friends and relatives�* families will be torn apart. when we talk about undocumented migrants here, who are they to you? it's your neighbours. it's the people you see in the grocery store. it's your teachers. it's your friends�* parents. to know that those people are in danger, it's terrifying. until you have to pay $10 for an avocado, people aren't going to realise the importance of immigrant workers. why didn't they take the legal route in the first place? the reason that people can't come legally is because it takes 12 to 15 to 20 years. there was a time in our country when you could do it in 18 months.

that's why the need for comprehensive immigration reform is so critically important. i feel a sense of repugnance i when i hear people talk about immigrants with this disdain. there are an estimated 12 million undocumented migrants in the us, many of whom have lived and worked here for decades. donald trump will be able to use his presidential powers to order deportations using police, the military and border officials. but it could be costly and time—consuming and may face legal challenges. it's the best way to fix the border immediately... he has significant support for his plans. once you start holding people accountable, securing the border, you're going to start to see, a lot of these folks will go back on their own, and then we can start to go after, i think we go after the criminals, people that are causing problems in communities, gang members, people that were vetted or weren't vetted, we find those, and i think really, that's how you have to start. in arizona, along the border with mexico, donald trump swept to victory with promises

to take control. but right now, there is little detail over how his plans will work, or if they will end with the uprooting of many lives. emma vardy, bbc news, phoenix, arizona. let's get more on the latest on the election and what happens next, with me is republican virginia state senator, bryce reeves. thank you for being with us. we were seeing a piece there about theissue were seeing a piece there about the issue at the border and of course we know donald trump has talked about mass deportations in his first few days in office, do you think that is going to look like, what is the plan for that. for going to look like, what is the plan for that-— plan for that. for to deportation, - plan for that. for to deportation, that's | plan for that. for to i deportation, that's not plan for that. for to - deportation, that's not going to happen instantly we have a couple of months where the administration must get set up. the president has a lot on his plate from picking the key individuals that will help lead government and his programme through so i think you will see a lot of those key appointments coming through. so soon as the

us senate is organised and once they have their elections, they will start hearing some of these to try and get these probably the most important cabinet decisions filled to start the operational plan and movement of the multitude of tasks the president has laid out in his campaign promises as he goes along. see his mention deportation. we briefly talked over the break. i think what he will look at is trying to take a look at first trying to find out how many people of actually come across the border during the last four years during the biden administration. see out of those people who are the bad people who absolutely need to be first on that list. how people who absolutely need to be first on that list.— be first on that list. how do ou be first on that list. how do you track — be first on that list. how do you track individuals - be first on that list. how do you track individuals like i you track individuals like that? by their very nature, people don't have documents and they are not in the system. they are probably in the system somewhere, right? we give drivers licence this is in

virginia to illegal immigrants who want to come here to assimilate to drive so they will get fictitious ids, the only place you don't have too have an ide is to vote, literally and virginia id is not required to vote. but it is to go to the library and some of these other things. imilli to go to the library and some of these other things. will the president-elect _ of these other things. will the president-elect looking - of these other things. will the president-elect looking at - of these other things. will the | president-elect looking atjust president—elect looking atjust criminals or people who have come here to make it better lives for themselves maybe have children and so on and pay into the system?— children and so on and pay into the system? first and foremost we mentioned _ the system? first and foremost we mentioned the _ the system? first and foremost we mentioned the director- the system? first and foremost we mentioned the director of. we mentioned the director of ice before under the premise administration and tom mentioned some of these things in the interview he was just gone, that's not going to be the focus. those type of immigrants who have come here seeking a better life in trying to find that, that is not a primary focus of this administration. i can tell you they want to get rid of the m513 they want to get rid of the ms13 cartel members the people pushing fenton all killing hundreds of thousands of our americans every year coming

across the border. so before you even start seeing deportation is what you will see the president closing the border. that will probably be the first ten minutes after he's sworn in deciding that executive order to finish building the wall and to stop the bleeding and haemorrhaging into our country. i think it will take some time as we talked about to man up and start funding ms13 and all of our border patrol and give them the resources. because they have not had the resources in the last few years and they actually need to do theirjobs. beyond the issue of the border and immigration, what is another priority for donald trump, a closer look at the campaign. trump, a closer look at the campaign-— trump, a closer look at the campaign. the president has outlined several _ campaign. the president has outlined several things - campaign. the president has outlined several things and l campaign. the president has outlined several things and i | outlined several things and i boil it on to three things and by the president took the selection as he did, americans by enlarging saw a huge change looking at pennsylvania alone, president trump in 2020i think had 20% that hispanic vote it went up to 41%. that is a

microcosm across the country as a campaign, they brought more black people and latino people into the republican party. he saw suburban mums coming out because what they want is their lives meet easier, they want their lives made better and safer and under the last four years, those three things have not happened in this country. america came out resoundingly and said we want to put president trump in. they may not like the way he talks and they may not like the things he says about people but they know that he is a leader and he has said that. that he is a leader and he has said that-— said that. how does he deal with the issue _ said that. how does he deal with the issue of _ said that. how does he deal with the issue of inflation i said that. how does he deal. with the issue of inflation and high prices in the supermarkets? high prices in the su ermarkets? supermarkets? one thing the resident supermarkets? one thing the president has _ supermarkets? one thing the president has been _ supermarkets? one thing the president has been harping . supermarkets? one thing the | president has been harping on and when he brings kennedy and and when he brings kennedy and and he says he can have all of the health stuff let's get our country healthy and work of those things with the fda for the one thing he says is don't touch my liquid gold. he understands america's ability to produce energy. when we were energy independent under the first trump administration it

helped drive our economy. if you bring down energy prices and the cost of energy alone, that will open up and stave off inflation. ~ ., ., , ., ., inflation. what does that mean for the various _ inflation. what does that mean for the various environmental. for the various environmental pledges and international agreements that the us is party to. . , , , to. certainly when they bring in those key _ to. certainly when they bring in those key members, - to. certainly when they bring| in those key members, there will be a talk about, do we stay with the paris climate accords, do we look at all of these different things. i think it will be everyone on board to look at what is good for america. it's not that we will be isolationist, but for the last four years america has been taking a dive. if to do some things in the first hundred days and we must understand, right now congress will click it will go republican so we will have both chambers of the legislature and we will have the presidency and we will have the presidency and we had that once before and it did not turn out so well for republicans that i think you really see a different administration with different leadership that is strategically focused on accomplishing those things and not in two years of but in a year or nine months because they have to solidify these

bbc verify�*s nick eardley has been looking at what we know about how the violence unfolded. some of the sound has been removed because of offensive language. that match was in amsterdam last night at 9pm, local time. we�*ve been looking at footage across social media to try and build up a picture of what happened before and after. now, the match was at ajax�*s stadium, down here, but a lot of the unrest we verified was in the city centre. like here. we can�*t be certain exactly when this happened, but it was uploaded before the match, so maybe from wednesday night. you can see someone taking down a palestinian flag from a building. next, dam square. a verified video which appears to be in the run—up to the game. the man with the bike is shouting insults about israel. there�*s a confrontation with maccabi fans. one throws food, police intervene. so there was some tension pre—match, but the violence breaks out after the game.

this is back at central station. we�*ve highlighted this footage to show you what�*s happening. it appears to show fighting. you can then see a man being chased. car horn toots. we can�*t be certain about who�*s involved. more unrest took place here. this man is being dragged across the road. there are clear chants about the gaza conflict in this video, too. does gaza... passport. and this verified video shows a man walking the streets, being stopped, told to say "free palestine", then asked where he�*s from. when he says "ukraine", those filming demand his passport to prove it. amsterdam�*s mayor said this all shows an outburst of anti—semitism in what she called a "dark night" for the city.

a committee of global food experts has warned that there�*s a strong likelihood of famine in areas of gaza, as israel continues its offensive against hamas. the international famine review committee is a multinational body tasked with declaring when a famine is taking place. its experts said immediate action is needed from all involved to avert what it called a "catastrophic situation". under the body�*s classification, a famine means at least 20% of households face an extreme lack of food. since the start of israel�*s offensive against hamas last year more than 2a,000 people in gaza have been left with life changing injuries — from severe burns to lost limbs. that�*s according to emergency medical data from the world health organization. injured people face difficulties accessing rehabilitation services, but now technology is helping some with their recovery, as our middle east correspondent, yolande knell reports. two sisters fit in one

wheelchair, sharing their pain. hanan and misk lost their mother and their legs in an israeli strike on their home in central gaza two months ago. it�*s thought their father, a policeman, may
