6:04 pm
2 or 3 minutes secret service was looking at us from the top of the barn. i'm pointing out 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 at washington correspondents, different assignments as well. it's been, it's still a shock and disbelief here in washington 9 in the political sphere in the united
6:05 pm
states. but from all of the politicians, which could have say something, everybody went to leave a remark or a statement, and it's only sono, 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 at the 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 trump. uh also i could tell you that the president, president biden, as well as a vice president, tamala harris, our brief,
6:06 pm
a get updated briefings in the white house, from the department of homeland security and from the involved 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 and little bit cleaning things because otherwise, political violence of this climate of agitation and committed 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 and i can tell you, there is a lot of agencies involved, no federal local state level, and they all pulling out new drawers. it's not like the agents 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,
6:07 pm
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 a local, on the state then 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 behind the scenes. this is definitely buzzing. and tell me, in terms of just gotta keep on campaigning. i mean, the republican national convention starts tomorrow. yeah. business as usual,
6:08 pm
we're here from the campaign. a bunch. 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 as strong and almost invincible. and paint this picture versus the weak and very bite, and as we have experienced him from 2 weeks in the presidential debates, a tv debate on cnn w correspondent on science are talking about us presidential bite and he condemns the shooting ad trump campaign rally. let's listen to there's no place in america who's kind of sick. it's sick. it's weather as well as united country can not allow for this to be happening. we cannot be like,
6:09 pm
we cannot condone this. the bottom line is the trump rally is a reality that he should have an intellect could be conducted peacefully without any problem. but the idea, the idea that this political violence or violence in america like this is system, part of it is not appropriate. we, everyone, everybody must come. every other world leaders have condemned the attack and express their sympathy. un secretary general, antonio quoterush labeled it an active political bivens wishing donald trump a speedy recovery. but his prime, it is, the key established political bivens in any form has no place in our society. and ukraine's president flooded me. savanski spoke of his relief, the trump is safe saying he hopes america, which is stronger summer. and that is a job and attempt on the life of donald strongly was late to harry, the crime that can only be condemned and which demonstrates and how serious the challenges to democracy are globally finding. those are that violence in any form
6:10 pm
in any way or most. absolutely not prevailing. you'd be absolutely nipple in those out to or yeah, i'm confident that america would rise to the challenge by which mr. trump a speedy recovery strength and supports to those affected him who seemed to bus that our stuff cycle made every evil intention to fail. he and they've got and that's got more of the european perspective. joining us correspondence, matthew, more about it. and lisa louis in paris and jack pack and brussels. let's start with matthew. tell me about the reactions here in germany, as well as you'd imagine this being widespread condemnation, expressions of shock and consent from across the political spectrum. let me give you a flavor about the chancellor. jasmine, chancellor, all shorts. i issued a statement which, which is where you said that the incident was despicable in it. he said that such acts of violence basically are a threat to democracy if you wish. donald trump a speedy recovery. he said my thoughts are also with the people who are affected in
6:11 pm
this attack. each being folded up by the statement by the 5 minutes to another in a bad bulk. she said that in these dark hours for american democracy, her thoughts were with the victims of the liberal leader of the liberal party. the finance minister christian let not issued a statement as well, where he said something interesting. he said that his consent for american democracy was growing on. he said, hopefully there's got to buy elizabeth, draw attention to all democrats have in common. i'm the head of the opposition consensus of mine who may in the future. well, be working alongside of future president donald trump said that this will only for the fuel the poison in the campaign. so a lot of statements coming in from across a political statement at the spectrum and basically condemning this attack and basically expressing concern for the future of american democracy over 2 past leads of what a french published and say as well we have heart, a number of reactions at present amount of coal has come out to say this was
6:12 pm
a tragedy for democracy and that the french people were standing with us sharing the feelings of shock and indignation. either politicians have spoken and treated or published at the rates on, on x, saying that they were also very shocked, expressing the sort of data to saying that the hearts were getting out to the u. s . a. meanwhile, fonts has been celebrating its national holiday bus da here in paris with the military power. right. and a sub ration going on over the course of the week comes across from the government has been protecting these events with about 132000 security. first of all, that has been deployed over at trust funds this weekend. and obviously the country is also looking ahead to the olympic summer games that will be happening here in paris, but also in other places across france in just about 2 weeks time. the government has said that a, with the poor tens of thousands of security,
6:13 pm
personal as young people input competitions to secure them. and you know, from us and to, to our large has been on it's highest alert for a number of months now. and this attack in either yes, has a revised painful memories in a country which has been hit by several violent attacks over the past decade. think of these and losely jack, the reactions coming out of process. so yeah, interesting. the we've had similar statements to what we've already had from the you institutional heads, the european commission president, us of on the lions agencies deeply saw the you kind of so president, i've going saw me so same put political violence is absolutely unacceptable in a democracy. but i think the most interesting reaction from across the, your opinion came from robot fee. so the slovak a prime minister, who himself was shot during campaigning ahead of the european parliament selections
6:14 pm
in the middle of may. he wished off a couple of times. and he has released the statement to say that this script is as through a photocopier the if the attacker in the united states could read slovak, it would have been the same kind of attack that happened on him as on donald from. so there is a kind of clear memory of a recent attack on a european leader as well, and that sort of that goes with the european of foreign policy chief joseph burrell tweeted, as part of the reaction to this attack in the united states, he said once again, we are witnessing unacceptable acts of violence against political representatives park. thank you lisa to you as well. matthew, thanks for joining. as a reminder of the main story by following today. for me, you ways president donald trump has been wounded in a shooting at a campaign valley in pennsylvania. and i is calling it's an assassination attempts . authorities killed the suspect and she was a suspect type to also talk about things in the ways and hearing fairly and we'll
