5:03 pm
but instead remain resilient in our face and defiant in the face of wickedness. our love goes out to the other victims and their families. a witness told bbc news that he saw the suspect and informed law enforcement moments before he pulled the trigger. we noticed the guy crawling the army. you know, they are throwing up the roof of the building beside us. 5050 feet away from us. so we're standing there. you know, we're pointing, we're pointing out the guy, crowing up the roof and he had a gun right. he had a rifle, right. we could clearly see what the rifle. absolutely. we're pointing out them. the police are down there running around on the ground where like a man this guy on the roof with a rifle in the police or like hall work, you know, like like any know what's going on. you know, we're like a raise you and what we can see if i'm right here, we see him. there is he's calling. and next thing, you know, i'm like,
5:04 pm
i'm thinking of myself. i'm like, why is trump still speaking? why have they not pulled him up? the stage, i'm standing there pointing into him for, you know, 2 or 3 minutes secret service was looking at us from the top of the barn. i'm pointing at that roof. just stand there like this. and next thing, you know, by transferring out, authorities killed the suspect 20 year old thomas matthew. see he was a registered republican from pennsylvania. the secret service is under pressure to explain what led to this major security breach. trump was targeted just days before he will be confirmed as the republican presidential dominey and election year that was already turbulent, has now taken a dark turn in america over to our washington correspondent stuff on simon's.
5:05 pm
what's the latest? it's been, it's still a shock and disbelief here in washington 9 in the political sphere in the united states. but from all of the politicians, which could have say something, everybody went to leave a remark or a statement, and it's 20 so no in one thing and united if you will, across the calm and cool. cool, the, the lingo, the language around political discourse here in this presidential elections. and i get the temperature down in the presidential elections in the against each other. that's what everybody wants. now, because everybody is still pretty much in shock and disbelief of what happened yesterday. the latest on the investigation is that, as we have seen, there was a search in the house of the alleged shorter, which the f b i has named as the assessment or the person who tried to assess and for president
5:06 pm
trump. uh also i could tell you that the president, president biden, as well as a vice president, kamala harris, our brief, a get updated briefings in the white house, from the department of homeland security and from the involve agencies f, b i. and what have you about the latest? but the most important thing is, i think that the political class, so to speak, to the lead, see how all the in, when you saw know, saying like we need to pull down the temperature of our political discourse. we need to take the heat down a little bit cool things because otherwise, political violence of this climate of agitation and committed a political violence could actually even get worse then it actually is. all right, so what about the security situation? our local authorities reacting to the dangers of being a politician. well, there's a, i can tell you, there is a lot of agencies involved, the federal local state level,
5:07 pm
and they're all pulling out new drawers. it's not like the ages in the secret service, f, b, i other law enforcement ages on a train for is thing like this for something like this to happen. they are, but there is, of course, different stages and measures to take. and depending on how increased the security threat for politicians, for presidents and for their staff is and i think what happens now on the local, on the state and on a federal level for sure, is that they pull out more draws with more plants, increased security, tighter security even tighter. security, not just for presidential events like campaign rallies, but also for local and state events for people who support one of the other candidates or the senate senator who runs for a center place or a house race. is that true? so that is definitely happening and it needs to be seen in concretely here. what has been a, what will be done in terms of increased security. but this is going to happen
5:08 pm
behind the scenes. this is definitely buzzing. and tell me from just go to tape on campaigning. i mean, the republican national convention starts tomorrow. yeah, business as usual, we're here from the campaign, but of course, it's not the business as usual, as you mentioned tomorrow. we'll on monday, we'll start the republican convention in milwaukee security. there increased as everybody could imagine. and what we'll change is, of course, the narrative fee in context president trump, former president, trump will generate himself as almost super hero a strong and almost invincible. and paint this picture versus the weak and very by and as we have experienced him for 2 weeks in the presidential debates. a tv debate on cnn w correspondent on science as let's see now from some of the other live witnesses that she's there. it sounds like there are fireworks and everybody kind of
5:09 pm
hesitated like, what's happening before trump like swatted his ear. you can see that he actually had that in. he dropped and that's when everybody had the initial reaction to draw it to the ground. and it was just, it was just like people were just on top of each other like she was getting. she was getting very light on, on top of her. and so it was crazy. oh, i heard this rocks are attractive to begin with. somebody over there was shot shot. so i made my way over. i said, i'm in mercy, department physician. let me help you. guy. his phone around was, can read the benches near the head shot here. lots of blood us presidents are biden, has condemned the shooting of trump, campaign rally. there's no place in america who's kind of sick, it's sick weather as well as unite this country cannot allow for this to be
5:10 pm
happening. we cannot be like this. we cannot condone this. the bottom line is the re, trump rally is a rally that he should have an intellect could be conducted peacefully without any problem with the idea, the idea that this political violence or violence in america like this, the system part of it is not appropriate. everybody, everybody must, could get it. every american journalist william blue cross is deputy added to the parliament magazine, which deals with a you, politics and brussels. i asked him about the political climate in the us as well. unfortunately, biden's statement. there is rather aspiration all this is something we've heard a lot from joe biden and his previous democratic predecessor in the white house, brock obama, where they tried to, always, you know, aspire to the, the better side of the united states. but of course, american history is full of violence, political violence,
5:11 pm
and otherwise we know that it's a violent country with massive amounts of guns and gun violence and a long history of vigilante violence. and, you know, targeting political leaders and political officials is bad, especially fire brands like donald trump, i think broadly be categorized as so as much as joe biden. i think it's trying to elevate the conversation and speak to one's better angels, so to speak. there is, this is not unprecedented that this, he said that there is no place in america for this, but unfortunately, there is. what does this mean then for tom's campaign we're going to see you going head of course. i mean, already we've heard from the trump campaign and the republican party that the, the upcoming national convention for them will be going on as schedules he will be attending and he will almost certainly be nominated as the candidate for the republican party. but if we get a passes pro, log americans or american culture loves this sort of caroling figure,
5:12 pm
and those images that we're seeing of donald trump getting up in the face to bump are going to be i conic and are going to come to define him in his sort of his persona in the political spectrum and i think that is going to be played lead really deeply into, in these weeks ahead. you know, every time there's a big development in a campaign, we always ask, you know, how long are you going to remember this and look at the answer. basically always, it always is well until the next big development, you know, we were just talking about the job items, debate performance, and how long are we going to be talking about that? well, now we have this to talk about. so when i think republicans and donald trump are gonna lead very heavily into it, the republicans, of course, are known for being anti gun control. how it they responding to this. is this something i am really fascinated in watching? i mean, we, it'll, allegedly, the suspect had an a r 15 and a are 15, is my conic rifle for the gun rights movement for people who want to have less gun control and more ability for individuals to have guns. we have
5:13 pm
a long history. it seems like not a week goes by, we're a legally purchased gun, is used by someone without a criminal record to shoot people, whether it's at a school, whether it's in a public place or now in this case and the political setting that there's just so many incidents is like this, and republicans in dallas from specifically go very hard on people's right to be able to do that. maybe not to shoot people that the right to be able to have those weapons. and then things like this happen. so it's going to be interesting how republicans walk this line and if people hold them accountable for essentially creating or helping create a situation where this is possible, right? where their own candidate is the target of the policies that they have advocated for. for the decade. that could become a weakness for them, but again, it passes for a lot to use that expression. again, republicans are very good on messaging. i'm very good at basically saying the answer to guns is more guns. that's always been sort of their line. and we could probably expect more of that to come. yeah, i think you said that another thing,
5:14 pm
the secret service is under intense scrutiny. so indeed, when i watch that video, i was shocked as just a layman, you know, who, who has, has, has watched his share of, of secret service videos and their tactics and their strategies. and they have plans in place for what it's supposed to happen when these things happen. how gunman got on top of the roof, just a few 100 feet away from the print from the former president and possibly would be president again is, is mind boggling to me and how they got him off the stage is mind boggling to me. but these are things that as we just heard from, janelle are going to be under intense investigation. moving, moving forward, we heard that long sound bite in the report earlier from the eye witness saying them warning for minutes. there's a gunman. so the secret service action here is, is going to be the most under scrutiny and then allowing donald trump to sort of give that fist ball been exposed himself and make himself a target. or possibly when there was still an active thread. all of these things were just big questions to me that i of course don't have the answers to,
5:15 pm
but are going to be central questions and the investigation going forward general as well. again, blue cross, thank you for your analysis. well, leaders has condemned the attack and experienced the sympathy un secretary general . antonio quoterush labeled is an active political violence. wishing donald trump a speedy recovery. british prime minister gustavo said political ballads in any form has no place in our society's ukraine's president plugged me so landscape, spoke of his relief, the trump is now safe saying he hopes america, emoji is stronger. zelma, and that's the job. and attempt on the life of donald strongly was linked to harry, the crime. it can only be condemned and which demonstrates how serious but challenges to democracy are globally binding a daughter and violence in any farm and anywhere most, absolutely not prevailing. you deb, so the nipple in those out to or yeah, i'm confident that america will rise to the challenge by which mr. trump a speedy recovery strength and supports to those affected him to seem to post our
