with the attachment does not meet the definition of a machine gun under federal law. they determined that the trump administration overstepped its power when it issued the ban back in 2018. that ban came after the deadliest mass shooting in modern us history. 60 people were killed in las vegas and hundreds more injured when a gunman used a bump—stock attachment to fire more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition in about 11 minutes. while more than a dozen states and washington dc have already banned them, friday's supreme court ruling sends the decision back to individual states to determine their own regulations for bump stocks. donald trump's campaign weighed in on the court's decision, saying in part: meanwhile, vice—president kamala harris had this to say. it was stocks that resulted in 60 people being dead in las vegas, nevada, on1 60 people being dead in las vegas, nevada, on 1 october. and what the court did today is really rolling back the important progress to be made to handgun violence is america. and when we think about the decision voters will make in november there is a clear contrast between where we stand and the former president. a short while ago david hogg shared his reaction. he's a survivor of the mass school shooting in parkland, florida in 2018, and now a gun control advocate. i'm worried, deeply worried about the future, not only because of the fact that these devices are effectively turn a gun like they are 15, a semiautomatic rifle into a submachine gun, like we saw in las vegas. and there is no legal case where you can justify using these devices because turns these guns into mass murder machines more than anything, and it worries me for the future of our country because young people are increasingly losing faith in the supreme court, the nra spent over $2 million supporting far rightjustices supporting far right justices like supporting far rightjustices like brett cavanagh and getting return on their investment. what i worried about is the lack of trust in the supreme court because this is not something that the american people are against, over 80% of americans support banning bumper stocks and the supreme court is going against that here. also in us politics this week, donald trump visited capitol hill on thursday to meet republican lawmakers and corporate leaders to discuss his agenda for a potential second term if he wins the us presidential election in november. it's the former president's first trip to the hill since his supporters attacked the capitol on 6 january 2021. during this visit, he vowed to address "border insecurity" if re—elected. and on wednesday, us supreme courtjustices unanimously upheld access to the medication mifepristone, which is used in nearly two—thirds of abortions in the united states. the supreme court decided that the plaintiffs, a group of anti—abortion doctors and activists, did not have the right to sue, although near—total abortion bans remain in 1a states. joining me live is former congressman for illinois, rodney davis, and former us congresswoman for florida, stephanie murphy. thank you dear both to be here to wrap up a pretty busy week in us politics. rodney, i want to start with you. what is your reaction to friday's supreme court overturning the ban on bump stocks, and did you find it odd that donald trump welcomed this decision even though this was a ban he passed while he was president? what happened in las vegas when praised government decided to use one of these modifications to a firearm to kill innocent people, that was a tragedy. and also there are so many tragedies that happened throughout this nation, like a parkland high school, and frankly seven years ago this monday will be the anniversary when crazed gunmen came to the congressional baseball practice and tried to kill me and my friends. we ran from gunfire. so i am not surprised president trump sees an attack on our second amendment, i am even more supportive of our second amendment after being shot at by some liberal democrat supporter myself. let by some liberal democrat supporter myself.- by some liberal democrat supporter myself. let me put it to ou supporter myself. let me put it to you this _ supporter myself. let me put it to you this way. _ supporter myself. let me put it to you this way, because - supporter myself. let me put it to you this way, because there | to you this way, because there was an interesting poll, this was an interesting poll, this was taken just after that las vegas shooting 82% of americans supported banning these bumper stocks, 82%. i supported banning these bumper stocks, 82%-— stocks, 82%. i was probably one of them back — stocks, 82%. i was probably one of them back then. _ stocks, 82%. i was probably one of them back then. you - stocks, 82%. i was probably one of them back then. you are - of them back then. you are sa in: of them back then. you are saying things _ of them back then. you are saying things have - of them back then. you are l saying things have changed? yeah, ifeel like saying things have changed? yeah, i feel like democrats more and more want to attack our second amendment rights, my home state of illinois, a banned certain types of firearms because we keep forgetting, the firearm is not going to shoot anybody without the intent of somebody who is obviously mentally ill behind it. and the person who shot at me had to have mental problems even though he may have never been diagnosed.— even though he may have never been diagnosed. that was a very scary moment — been diagnosed. that was a very scary moment for _ been diagnosed. that was a very scary moment for you _ been diagnosed. that was a very scary moment for you and - been diagnosed. that was a very scary moment for you and for i scary moment for you and for many politicians. stephanie, i want to turn it over to you. you heard that statistics about the support back after that shooting, do you think that the supreme court �*s instep with most americans when it comes to gun—control issues? i most americans when it comes to gun-control issues?— gun-control issues? i think the sureme gun-control issues? i think the supreme court _ gun-control issues? i think the supreme court isn't _ gun-control issues? i think the supreme court isn't in - gun-control issues? i think the supreme court isn't in step - gun-control issues? i think the supreme court isn't in step in i supreme court isn't in step in and _ supreme court isn't in step in and i— supreme court isn't in step in and i come _ supreme court isn't in step in and i come from a community who, — and i come from a community who, this _ and i come from a community who, this week eight years ago, experienced the pulse nightclub shooting where 49 innocent individuals were slaughtered in a nightclub. and what i think is wrong _ a nightclub. and what i think is wrong with the way we approach gun safety in this country— approach gun safety in this country is that we tend to legislate to the most recent lui'i legislate to the most recent gun violence situation, so it was — gun violence situation, so it was bump stocks after las vegas, _ was bump stocks after las vegas, it— was bump stocks after las vegas, it was, and itjust changes— vegas, it was, and itjust changes depending on the issue, but the _ changes depending on the issue, but the reality is americans want — but the reality is americans want some reasonable gun safety measures— want some reasonable gun safety measures that also protect the rights — measures that also protect the rights of. — measures that also protect the rights of, the second amendment rights _ rights of, the second amendment rights of— rights of, the second amendment rights of law—abiding citizens. and so— rights of law—abiding citizens. and so the bump stocks allows for a _ and so the bump stocks allows for a weapon to be changed into a battlefield weapon and those things — a battlefield weapon and those things have no place on our streets _ things have no place on our streets here, and i think whether— streets here, and i think whether you are democrat, republican or independent, you want _ republican or independent, you want to— republican or independent, you want to be able to go to a nightclub or a church or a hasebait— nightclub or a church or a baseball field or otherwise and feel like — baseball field or otherwise and feel like you are not going to be outgunned and that law enforcement is an outgunned. —— is not _ enforcement is an outgunned. —— is not outgunned. so commonsense gun safety measures cottittioi'isefise gun safety measures are commonsense gun safety measures ere widely— commonsense gun safety measures are widely popular in america. and rodney, we could go on for another half—an—hour talking about gun—control itself but i want to get those other supreme court ruling this week, basically keeping the status quo when it comes to mifepristone, the pill commonly used in medical abortions. do you think this is the end of the road here or do you think anti—abortion groups will keep up anti—abortion groups will keep up their legal pressure and maybe find a different way to get this back to the supreme court? , ., , , ., ., court? outside groups that are anti-abortion _ court? outside groups that are anti-abortion and _ court? outside groups that are anti-abortion and pro- - court? outside groups that are| anti-abortion and pro- abortion anti—abortion and pro— abortion are always going to keep up efforts to take the next step to whatever they believe the next step should be. because they have to continue raising money, they have to continue to exist. and they are never going to stop the matter what they say their outcome is or what their goals are. so no, it's not going to be the end of the road and frankly, the supreme court has basically waxed one mile and another mole will eventually pop—up because just like with bump stocks, just like with bump stocks, just like with bump stocks, just like with gun—control measures that people say they support all freedoms in the second amendment that i support, congress should be the ones making these decisions and they are not. . , ., , making these decisions and they are not. ,, , ., , ~ are not. stephanie, it is like lacko while, _ are not. stephanie, it is like lacko while, but _ are not. stephanie, it is like lacko while, but likely - are not. stephanie, it is like lacko while, but likely to i are not. stephanie, it is like lacko while, but likely to be are not. stephanie, it is like i lacko while, but likely to be a topic on the campaign trail this yearfor the topic on the campaign trail this year for the presidential election. —— whack—a—mole. how do you think the democrats will try to use this ruling? i do you think the democrats will try to use this ruling?— try to use this ruling? i think the democrats' _ try to use this ruling? i think the democrats' position - try to use this ruling? i think the democrats' position is i try to use this ruling? i think the democrats' position is inj the democrats' position is in line with the broad majority of americans. following shows americans. following shows americans believe women and theirfamilies should americans believe women and their families should have access to healthca re their families should have access to healthcare and i think despite this ruling it doesn't eliminate the fact that it has been the republicans that have overturned roe, that are trying to remove families was access ivs, —— family split was access ivs, —— family split was access ivs, —— family split was access to ivf, removing the six—week bands in florida where people who had been raped or are victims of incest have to travel hundreds of miles to get access to healthcare, it is quite inhumane. and it is out of step with where the broad sector of americans are. rodney, we saw donald trump returning to capital hill this week, the first time since 6 january. this is not a very united republican party right now, it seemed like trump was trying to do that, can he? he is the trying to do that, can he? he: is the nominee, the republican voters have chosen him, he has to if he wants to win again and if he wants republicans to win up if he wants republicans to win up and down the ticket, is going to have to change the way he campaigns and frankly change the way that he talks to the american people and tries to give them a reason to put him backin give them a reason to put him back in the white house. send back in the white house. and stephanie. — back in the white house. and stephanie, very _ back in the white house. and stephanie, very briefly, we heard mitch mcconnell shook donald trump's hand, are you surprised that the republicans are seemingly welcoming him back into the fold? h0. are seemingly welcoming him back into the fold? no, despite the fact is _ back into the fold? no, despite the fact is somebody _ back into the fold? no, despite the fact is somebody who - back into the fold? no, despite the fact is somebody who has l the fact is somebody who has not been _ the fact is somebody who has not been to the hill since 6 january. _ not been to the hill since 6 january, returning to the scene of the — january, returning to the scene of the crime, it seems that a lot of— of the crime, it seems that a lot of the _ of the crime, it seems that a lot of the people who in the aftermath of 6 january understood that they needed to stand _ understood that they needed to stand on— understood that they needed to stand on the side of history have — stand on the side of history have since changed their minds because — have since changed their minds because the election is in the fati~ — because the election is in the fati~ and _ because the election is in the fall. and so you are seeing that— fall. and so you are seeing that the _ fall. and so you are seeing that the republican party has consolidated behind donald trumu _ stephanie murphy, former us congresswoman for florida, former congressman for illinois, thank you. world leaders are heading home from italy as the g7 summit winds down. friday's official agenda included migration, chinese trade policy and artificial intelligence. the capstone was the visit of pope francis, who championed the discussion on al. it's the first time a pontiff has participated in the g7. but ukraine once again dominated the summit after russian president vladimir putin announced he'd call an "immediate ceasefire" in ukraine if his conditions are met. those include ukraine giving up four regions in the east of the country that are currently partially occupied by russia, and abandoning its ambition to join the nato alliance — something russia has long opposed. g7 leaders dismissed the offer and kyiv called the proposals "offensive to common sense". 0ur diplomatic correspondent, james landale, reports from the summit in southern italy. the war in ukraine is being fought on three fronts. you have got the fighting on the ground, you've got the industrial arms race to generate as much ammunition as possible, and then you've got the global diplomatic battle for international opinion. and what we've seen here at this summit is that last battle being played out between, a sort of contest between the g7 leaders here and vladimir putin. the g7 leaders here at this summit have said right, we will be fully behind ukraine, we are going to try and counter the narrative that somehow the west is losing patience with ukraine. we are going to agree to use frozen russian assets to get $50 billion worth of loans to the russians, we will send more air defences, we will widen our sanctions, we will agree new defence pacts with ukraine, all about reinforcing that message. in reply to that, you've got vladimir putin, the russian leader, saying "well, you know what, i would be "willing to have a ceasefire, engage in peace talks "with ukraine, just so long as they give up huge "swathes of the east of their country, and they also "give up their ambition tojoin nato". clearly that has been rejected out of hand by kyiv and the ukrainians and the west saying look, this is completely a nonstarter, this is effectively asking for ukraine to capitulate, to surrender. but what i think mr putin is really trying to do here is he is trying to divide the west and appeal to some countries, emerging economies in the global south. essentially he is trying to appeal to those countries and say look, you know what, maybe now is the time to talk about peace in ukraine, maybe that would be a good thing that might help the global economy, which has been so disrupted by this war. what the west is trying to do is push back against that, the us defense secretary said this was not an offer being made by the russian leader in good faith, the nato leader said this was not a peace proposal, this was a proposal for more confrontation and more aggression. so what we are seeing played out is that battle for global opinion here, which is, in this war, often a hugely important factor in how it shapes this conflict going forward, as much as what happens on the battlefield. joining me live is nina khrushcheva, professor of international affairs at the new school in new york city. i'd like to start with the peace plan put forward by vladmir putin on friday. what are your thoughts on that — how seriously do you think the west should take it? the west, thank you, the west should take it seriously because putin was serious talking about it. and of course the timing is just right before the timing is just right before the swiss peace summit so basically what putin is doing is trying to take away, it was his own peace summit, but russia wasn't invited, but that is what he is saying they are proposing. and what we do know is that non—western countries are slow to get to the western side in the ukrainian conflict so he is, as your correspondence said, he is speaking mostly to those people but also in the long—term of very tired ukrainians, ukrainians who are very tired of the war. ukrainians who are very tired of the war-— ukrainians who are very tired of the war. you mentioned the eace of the war. you mentioned the peace summit _ of the war. you mentioned the peace summit on _ of the war. you mentioned the peace summit on saturday - of the war. you mentioned the peace summit on saturday in l peace summit on saturday in switzerland, russia won't be there, this proposal seems to be far and away beyond what anyone, ukraine or the west, might agree to. is there anything in the middle, do you think something might come out of the summit that both sides might find potentially they might find potentially they might sign onto it? taste might find potentially they might sign onto it? we already know the point _ might sign onto it? we already know the point that _ might sign onto it? we already know the point that volodymyrj know the point that volodymyr zelensky was making about his peace proposal now is being reduced to three points in switzerland. so it is nuclear security, food security and exchange of children and... people in captivity, salters and captivity. so it is already quite reduced —— soldiers. we already know that less than expected people are coming, not necessarily the highest level in some countries. so that is what putin is doing. i don't expect him to exactly believe that that is how it is going to happen, but at least what he is trying to do, what he thinks he is trying to do, he is offering some sort of beginning ground for negotiations. the problem with, when putin wants everything, ultimately it ends up everything, ultimately it ends up with putin wants everything. and that is why they understand neither zelensky or western countries can believe it, because when would putin stop exactly, we don't know that. the other big news to come out of the g7 is this plan to use the interest from sees russian assets to provide a loan to ukraine, president putin said the move was "theft", he said it wouldn't go unpunished. do you think the chances are high russia might try to do something similar and sees western assets of his own? they are already _ western assets of his own? they are already planning _ western assets of his own? they are already planning that, - western assets of his own? tie are already planning that, they already that, basically if from the western part, anything in relation to russia, a lot of things in relation to russia are no longer off the table, you can do, you can cross many redlines, so russia would say well, there are still businesses there, there are still properties in russia that belongs to the west, so there are friendly countries where we can try to influence them in trying to make it difficult for the united states, the european countries to operate. because it is, basically what putin is doing, he is fighting a very long war and what he is hoping for, expecting right from the beginning of the war, but even more so now, that ultimately the russian patients will outlive the western patients. fighting a long war but maybe a long game democratically in terms of elections, we saw at the g7, several of these western leaders are not popular back home, it is very... not likely but it could happen that we could see president biden voted out of office, macron is on shaky ground, in germany, 0laf scholz is not very popular at home, do you think putin is hoping that some western elections might swing his way and support my flag for you quaint? he and support my flag for you uuaint? , , ., , quaint? he is seeing it as evidence _ quaint? he is seeing it as evidence not _ quaint? he is seeing it as evidence notjust - quaint? he is seeing it as evidence notjust hoping. j quaint? he is seeing it as i evidence notjust hoping. -- evidence notjust hoping. —— ukraine. he himself said in his proposal that "i am speaking to ukrainians", because the russians argue zelensky is no longer legitimate because his term expired on 20 may. he says "there are still people in ukraine who think rationally and we will negotiate with them". he is very patient and he think he will outlive zelensky, ukraine and the west on his terms. nina khrushcheva, professor of international affairs at the new school in new york city, thank you. south africa's president, cyril ramaphosa, is to stay in office after being re—elected by the country's parliament. but he only kept power after his party struck an historic coalition deal with its political opponents. the african national congress lost its majority in last month's general election — the first time the party once led by nelson mandela hasn't had full control of the federal government. in order to keep mr ramaphosa in office, the anc was forced to form a government of national unity with other parties, including the main opposition democratic alliance. its leader, john steenhuisen, is now expected to join the government. after the vote, mr ramaphosa addressed the national assembly, striking a concilatory note. adam speaker, i want to thank the members of this august house —— madam, who have voted for me, who through their vote have invested and placed their trust in me. i intend to work with all members, and indeed to work together with even those who did not vote for me, or who did not find their way clear to vote for me. 0ur africa correspondent, barbara plett—usher, has more from cape town. cyril ramaphosa played a key role in the negotiations that brought apartheid to an end 30 years ago and now he is going to steer south africa through a seismic shift in its politics. he won his second term with the backing of the anc�*s longtime opponent, the democratic alliance. shortly before the vote they came to an agreement on a power—sharing arrangement which does include smaller parties, but really they are the two key players. this was very controversial within the anc because the democratic alliance has a reputation of representing the interests of the white minority. it denies this but really it is our reputation to shake. it's free market agenda also clashes with the anc�*s social welfare policies, but the anc leaders said this arrangement was really the best way to bring stability to the country. the next step is for cyril ramaphosa to allocate cabinet positions, and this will include members of the democratic alliance. this multi—party arrangement will not include anc breakaway factions such as the marxist economic freedom fighters and also the mk party of the former presidentjacob zuma. they will probably benefit if this new government fails to deliver the economic improvements for which south africans voted, but many south africans voted, but many south africans voted, but many south africans do hope that this grand, unprecedented alliance coalition doesn't succeed. catherine, the princess of wales, has released —— does succeed. catherine, the princess of wales, has released an update on her health, nearly three months after she revealed her cancer diagnosis — along with a new photo taken earlier this week in windsor. catherine says she is making good progress in her ongoing chemotherapy. she also reveals she will be attending trooping the colour — the king's official birthday — on saturday. 0ur royal correspondent johnny dymond reports. a new picture of the princess from the palace to mark a new stage in herjourney. it's been almost three months since the princess revealed that she was undergoing chemotherapy, something that followed surgery earlier in the year. the surgery was successful. however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. my medical team therefore advised that i should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and i am now in the early stages of that treatment. since then, prince william has worked alone, and the palace has remained silent, although last week, when asked about kate's progress, the prince said she was getting better. she would have loved to have been at the d—day commemorations, he said. from the princess this evening, a message about these past long months. tomorrow is the king's birthday parade, trooping the colour, one of the biggest days of the royal year, and the princess says she will be there, back in the public eye, with her children. there may be more public engagements to come this summer, but each one will depend on the princess's health. "i am," the princess wrote today, "not out of the woods yet". but from windsor comes a message and a picture that speak of hope for days to come. jonny dymond, bbc news. before we go, take a look at this: a rare pair of baby elephants that were born in central thailand were blessed by buddhist monks on friday. their caretakers are calling it a miracle, following a near tragedy during birth last week. 0nly1% of newborn elephants are twins, and it's even more uncommon to have a male and female combination. we will have plenty more coming up we will have plenty more coming up at the top of the hour. in the meantime, stay with us here on bbc news. hello. if you're not impressed with whatjune has brought us so far weather wise, i suspect this weekend will do very little to change your view. further showers in the forecast, albeit with some spells of sunshine in between. a rather cool feel for the time of year. the earlier satellite picture from friday shows clumps of shower cloud circulating around the centre of an area of low pressure. and this will be our weather maker throughout the weekend with bands of showers or longer spells of rain, albeit with some spells of sunshine in between. you can see we start saturday morning with some slices of sunshine, but some showers from the word go. some of those are going to be heavy, perhaps thundery. the showers could show up just about anywhere. some brisk winds across both the north and the south of the uk. in fact, through the english channel, we could see gusts of 40 miles per hour or more, at least where it's windy. the showers will move through pretty quickly with light winds. parts of northern ireland, southern scotland, northern england will see slow moving showers and those temperatures at best between 13 and 17 degrees. so our low still with us through saturday night. and this little weather system here will bring a clump of heavy and persistent rain southwards across scotland, getting down into parts of northern ireland's and perhaps the far north of england by the start of sunday morning. we'll start sunday with temperatures around eight to 11 degrees. a sunshine and showers story again for most of us on sunday. but with this band of more persistent rain sinking its way down across northern ireland, affecting southwest scotland into the north of england, those showers where they do crop up across southern and eastern parts of england particularly could again be heavy and thundery. 14 degrees for stornoway, maybe 19 degrees for hull and for london. so perhaps just a little bit warmer. into monday sunshine and showers once again, although with quite a lot of cloud, i suspect across northern and western parts. 21 degrees possible across the south—east corner. and as we look further ahead, well, there are some signs that at least for a while, things might try to settle down with this ridge of high pressure just trying to topple its way in, but signs are it may not last, it may not hold on for all that long with areas of wet weather returning by the end of the week and while temperatures may climb a little, there's certainly no heat wave on the way. voice-over: this is bbc news. we will have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, which is straight after this programme. perfume is a $50 billion industry and growing. and there's one flower that's found in hundreds of bottles. considered to be the most valuable scent in the business. the most beautiful flower that exists in perfumery. the most exotic and wonderful of all scents. jasmine. bbc eye investigations takes you to the heart of the jasmine trade in egypt to reveal dark secrets in the perfume industry.
