true love came late to sandra and allan. they were 5a when they married.uge summer of celebration in spain for their 70th birthdays, just days apart. i can honestly say i've never loved anybody as much as i do sandra. it's... she's just the love of my life. never been so happy, and we're still happy. and you've come so close to losing it all? absolutely. very much so. the scariest moments of our lives, wasn't it? lives, absolutely. spain fell by the wayside as they spent sandra's birthday in isolation, and a week later, they both suddenly fell ill. text messages between sandra and her daughter over the following day show how quickly they both deteriorated. yeah, it was... it was heart—wrenching. "hi, how are you both doing?" "the last couple of days we don't seem to know what's going on. "we are just light—headed, tired, dizzy, don't want any food or drink. "just don't know if it's the virus or not." and i put, "i'm sure it's nothing to worry about. "just chill out and try not to do too much. "let me know if you need anything."

the disappointing rally in tel store at the weekend allan the president's been urged to relaunch his reelection campaign is that something he'll try to do today. but i certainly part of it by going to yuma which is down on the border he's showing that the wall the promise the supporters is being built although i suspect that after almost 3 years in office of more than 3 years in office almost 4 he would hope that there was more than 320 kilometers 200 miles of wall that had been built and he would be able to hold in the region of. thousands getting close to the 3000 that he needs to go from coast to shining course as he so often said so there's that he's going to take part in a border security round table i suspect that the people that have been selected will be those who will say what a great job with the wall is doing in keeping people out although the numbers are down significantly people believe that the pandemic has also played a part and that as well as building the wall donald trump will blame democrats for not going and more money for his wall 'd the reality is that the presi

and by allan's 70th birthday, they turned a corner.te caterpillar cake. and they sang happy birthday. i think for me it was so special because when they brought the cake into allan, i am crying now, it just brought the cake into allan, i am crying now, itjust got like really emotional but it was really loving and smiling and it was the first time that i had seen him for a long time that i had seen him for a long time just smile. two days before sandra was given the all clear to go home, allan was cheered off the board. all of the doctors and nurses and everybody line up. well done! walked you down the corridor and that me at the end so that allan could be wheeled past me. as soon as he came up and i said i will be home soon, hopefully. i cried. she cried, yeah. as usual, i cried. it was just... goodbye! do you remember taking those vows in sickness and in health? absolutely. yeah. and you could never have dreamt. you could not write it. no, you couldn't. you could not have made it up. we didn't actually say 70 is going to be our year a

i'm joined now by allan lichtman who is an american political historian, academic, and author. is a really fascinating point. you are in washington, dc, you work in washington, dc, and the place where you work, you have no congress member, no senators. can you take us back and explain the reason for this quirk? the reason for the quirk is that the district of columbia was not ever a state, it was a created region to be the nation's capital in the 1790 ‘s when there was not yet a permanent capital, and nobody wa nted a permanent capital, and nobody wanted to go to one of the bigger established cities because that would favour one area over another, and it was totally under the control of the federal government. it wasn't until 1961 that by constitutional amendment the people of the district of columbia got to vote in presidential elections. but as you mentioned, they have no senator, they have no member of congress except the shutter representative with no voting rights. so does the vote in the house of representatives mean that washington, dc might be on the road to statehood,

allan little, bbc news. that's it. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel. are. have a very good night. hello there. if you think back to whatjune has been like this year, you might immediately remember the hot spell of weather we had last week. and of course, temperatures at heathrow airport on thursday reached 33 celsius, the hottest day of the year so far. but as well as that hot spell of weather, actually, june's been pretty wet. now, for most of england, for wales, for northern ireland and for parts of scotland, it has already been wetter than normal, and that's before you factor in the heavy rain that's been around this weekend, and also the rain that we've still got left to come from the same slow—moving area of low pressure. this spiral of cloud you can see here on the satellite picture. so, the weather charts for monday look like this. low pressure for northern scotland and outbreaks of rain. fairly tightly packed isobars, it will be quite windy. and just to the west, this next area of low pressure waiting in the winds. all in all, this means the ne

alan fischer our correspondent can help me out on that one what did you make of what he had to say allan. a few interesting points certainly making political points you had them talk directly about president obama and vice president joe biden not doing anything while they were in the white house for 8 years on this very important issue and he's right at that point but he said that there needs to be a moral leadership when people talk about defunding the police he said we need people with moral clarity to stand forward and say that they do not accept that over the last few days donald trump is tweeted out saying a number of supporters of joe biden and correctly in at least a number of occasions saying that they support defunding the police in the united states joe biden has very clearly said that he is not going to do that there was a comment towards the end which may well it disappeared in the ether of all that it was said in the rose garden and that is when he said we must celebrate heritage not ted it down and not of course because a number of statues are being removed and going throug

professional standards to serve their communities ellen fisher is our correspondent at the white house allan does this executive order go further than the legislation that the democrats are trying to push through the committee stage at the moment. to be fair it's trying to be pushed through by both the democrats and republicans it certainly lays out a blueprint of what the president would like to see after 2 weeks of being accused of not doing anything is come forward 'd with an executive order 'd that says these are measures that will help a break during some of the problems that they have seen in the past what the executive order does not call for is any significant police reforms and there's certainly no acknowledgement that there has been in the past or there is a problem with systemic racism that black people are more likely to be killed by the police so while the politicians on capitol hill continue to talk we know that mitch mcconnell and tim scott mitch mcconnell being the leader of the republicans in the senate and tim scott being the only black member of the senate for the republic

sick puppy ellen fisher has been following the story since it broke he joins us from the white house allan a bit of a page turner was the best bit you got to so far. the interesting thing that strikes me as i'm going through it going through reasonably quickly you know this book is out there it's been shipped around the world the shelves on tuesday journalists have got digital copies of seen a few journalists walking around with hard copies of this so if the white house's view is to try and stop this they're not going to be overly successful but the reality is most of the big lines came out in the news extracts that we saw yesterday in the article that john bolton themself wrote for the wall street journal it is that he tried to get china to intervene to try and help on the 2020 election by buying a lot of farm goods the fact that he tried to do favors for the turkish president and also the chinese president by reversing criminal charges against companies that they expressed an interest then there's an interesting take that he sent out a tweet in support of mohammed bin solomon the de fact

especially even the hiring of allan pinkerton.at the end of the day the bad guys just had big mouths. it's why conspiracies fall apart. and at the end of the day. the real reason it falls apart is because they can't stop bragging about it. they are so lost in their hatred for this man who they think wants to get rid of slavery. and to get clear that's not how lincoln is elected. he has a containment policy. if you don't. you keep that in any new estates. we will contain it. it's only until people like frederick douglass and thinkers like that help lincoln with that idea. they see lincoln as public enemy number one. and they can't keep their mouth shut. if they could just really keep it quiet. maybe they would never find out what happened. it's amazing to watch themselves screw themselves up. i assume i have a choice of going into the dead and not. people have asked me that before. i would probably pick mister rogers if i was picking a celebrity but i always say it's abraham lincoln. there's no question. when you do these kind of b

alan fischer as our correspondent who is at the white house and was listening to that allan as i say this meeting is supposed to be specifically about the issue of land i only actually caught one reference to it there in a cross speech where she said well we understand you've got concerns but actually you've got to hold the palestinians to account. it's interesting that she says you can't reverse all talking points and in many cases did exactly that the other thing is that she's pushing donald trump's peace plan which you remember was unveiled here at the white house with benny gantz and also benjamin netanyahu nearby but no representation from the palestinians because the consulted they didn't feel that this was a step forward that it was offering anything new and there's a feeling that by allowing by giving the or key to the israelis to go ahead with an exception which is what seems to be the path that we're all and then that is getting ahead of peace talks says look we would like any opportunity to talk anything to bring these 2 parties together there is a feeling that that is wha
