In which the former president says that comment from Donald Trump and we have had more since then in which he has reassured people and told people he will keep fighting. An image of the moment when Security Services surrounded the suspect has been released. We can show you that now. He was detained in Martin County by the Sheriffs Office on the northbound area of Interstate 95 following an alert which told officers to be on the lookout for this vehicle seen leaving the Golf Course in Palm Beach County. Us media have named him as Ryan Routh, a 58 year old from hawaii. And there are more details emerging about the suspect, including reports that he was deeply involved in efforts to get foreign fighters into ukraine to battle against the russian army. Bbc verify has been looking into his background and posts. More details on that on the bbc news website. The bbc verify team have a post up and running if youre interested in that particular angle of the story. But lets look at what happened on the Golf Course. We got quite an extensive briefing from Security Services, including the sheriff. But first, heres the Palm Beach County sheriff explaining how the incident unfolded. At 1 30pm, a call come out shots fired that was called in by the Secret Service. Because were in constant contact with them all the time, we were notified of that and we had units here that immediately sealed off the area. Fortunately, we were able to locate a witness that came to us and said, hey, i saw the Guy Running Out of the bushes. Hejumped into a black nissan and i took a picture of the vehicle and the tag, which was great. So, we had that information. Our real time crime centre put it out to the Licence Plate readers and we were able to get a hit on that vehicle on i95 as it was headed into Martin County. We got a hold of Martin County Sheriffs Office, alerted them, and they spotted the vehicle and pulled it over and detained the guy. After that, we took the victim im sorry, the witness that witnessed the incident took, flew him up there and he identified as the person that he saw running out of the bushes that jumped into the car. Now, in the bushes where this guy was is an Ak 47 Style Rifle with a scope, two backpacks which were hung on the fence that had Ceramic Tile in them and a gopro, which he was going to take pictures of. So, those are being processed right now. The secret Service Agent that was on the course did a fantasticjob. What they do is they have an agent Thatjumps One Hole ahead of time to where the president was at and he was able to spot this Rifle Barrel sticking out of the fence and immediately engaged that individual, at which time the individual took off. So, thats what we know about the investigation. We have somebody in custody right now. It is a potential suspect. Weve got a little bit more work to do on it but, as we usually do, as soon as we decide that were going to book them into the countyjail and the charges hes going to be booked into, well get those to you and well get a picture of him and well get you his background. In the past few hours we have also heard from Homeland Security who sent us some images to show you. They show Secret Service and Homeland Security agents checking a former home of Ryan Routh in greensboro, north carolina. The fbi are in charge of this investigation now and extensive searches are taking place in north carolina. There has been reaction from across the political divide. Vice president Kamala Harris is of course up against Donald Trump in the upcoming election and she has said she is deeply disturbed by the possible Assassination Attempt of the former president and she says as we gather the facts, i will be clear i condemn political violence. We all must do our part to ensure that this incident does not lead to more violence. I am Thankful that former President Trump is safe. I commend the us secret Service And Law enforcement partners for their vigilance. As President Biden said, our administration will ensure the Secret Service has every resource, capability, and protective measure necessary to carry out its critical mission. Because there had been huge criticism of the Secret Service after the first Assassination Attempt, but this time around widespread praise for their actions, especially for The One agent who managed to spot the Ak 47 in the bushes and those who apprehended him as well. Lets speak to daniel lippman, white House And Washington reporter at politico. It doesnt quite have the emotional heft of the first Assassination Attempt this time around, Donald Trump was safe straightaway and quickly moved away from the Golf Course but nonetheless, we really get a feeling people are very shocked here in the us over what has happened so how do you think it will change the campaign . Remember two months ago after trump survived the first attempt, you have that famous photo of him with the raised fist and him yelling, fight, fight, fight and that was a strong image that showed that he was resilient but you dont have an image like this this time. Thankfully, no bullet was taken out from the gunman. He did not have to go to the hospital. He wasjust did not have to go to the hospital. He was just rushed back to his resort. And so anyone who was sympathetic towards him last time and maybe went to his side probably is already on his side so i dont think that he is going to get a huge bump from this but its a reminder of how heated the campaign is and how we had a mental Health Crisis in this country that leads to people who have a screw loose and are out for blood. Out for blood. Political leaders out for blood. Political leaders are out for blood. Political leaders are all out for blood. Political leaders are all saying l out for blood. Political leaders are all saying they condemned political violence and we had another statement from Kamala Harris in the past couple of hours and President Biden as well but daniel, this is the second attempt, as you said, on Trumps Life in a matter of months and its happened in a deeply divided country. Is the conversation happening here now that this could just be political reality . Could just be political reali . , reality . The conversation is will there reality . The conversation is will there be reality . The conversation is will there be future reality . The conversation is. Will there be future attempts and if he loses, how are they going to protect him because he is entitled to some downtime, he loves to play golf, its really hard to protect the Golf Course which is, you know, ive been down to Palm Beach multiple times and seen the Golf Course and unless you are going to have each and every agent across every, you know, Foot Or Yard for that Golf Course, then he may be in danger so you also need to weigh the impact of local president on local residents, do you shut down the Road Close by when he is. Golfing. Do you put more local Law Enforcement demo . After the election, to the temperatures cool down, do people feel less jazzed up . And does that reduce further attempts on clinical violence since we have seen this multiple times, you sort nancy Pelosis Husband attacked, a republican leader Steve Scalise In The House was shot on a Baseball Field more than a decade ago and so, sadly, with american being so divided that this is one of the consequences of that americans. figs of that americans. As always. Of that americans. As always. Good of that americans. As always, good to of that americans. As always, good to get your thoughts, Thank you forjoining us. Daniel lippman, white House And Washington reporter at politico. Barry donadio, a former secret Service Agent who worked in the White House protecting President Bush and president obama. Good to see you. There were so much criticism of the Secret Service after the first Assassination Attempt in pennsylvania. Theyve been widely praised todays, though, for their actions. What are your thoughts on how they operated today and their actions . Operated today and their actions . ,. ,. , operated today and their actions . ,. ,. , actions .

Job all round. Can you give us some Insight Job all round. Can you give us some insight into job all round. Can you give us some insight into the job all round. Can you give us| some insight into the specifics of The One agent who was ahead of The One agent who was ahead of former President Trump on the Golf Course and spotted what was someone or the rifle, the ak47, what was someone or the rifle, the Ak 47, in the bushes . What would he have done first . I can reasonably would he have done first . I can reasonably states would he have done first . I can reasonably states that would he have done first .

There was possibly not even any time to call it in on the radio. You probably saw the threat and they may have given voice commands to drop the rifle and if there was non compliance, there would have been rounds downrange towards the threat. Thats the bottom line. I understand they could have been as many as six shots fired. Im not quite sure if it was even hit or not. At that time, other agents would be calling on the radio to Tintaldra Make the president or get him off the Golf Course on the radio to unintelligible the president. Weve been hearing about the difficulties of protecting President Trump, especially in this country which is so divided at the moment. Even something like a Golf Course that former President Trump likes to go out on all the time, a heart that can be. How concerned are you at the moment about the challenge that exist for the secret Service Agents on duty protecting him in such a pressurised environment. The Secret Service a pressurised environment. Tue secret Service Agents a pressurised environment. Tte secret Service Agents have a pressurised environment. Tt2 secret Service Agents have a tough job secret Service Agents have a toughjob on a regular secret Service Agents have a tough job on a regular day. Its stressful, there is no mistakes allowed, you have to be 100 every single time. As far as more security, i would like to see more security and more protection not only for former President Trump but also President Biden and come Ella Harris as well. We have to up the level Kamala Harris. There is a tense time in the united states and something going on, somebody is attacking this president , President Trump, whether it is lone gunman or simply fashionable to do it to him, they are going to have to rise to the occasion. They are going to need tactical teams out there. Everywhere this man goes from this point on, its going to have to be tactical teams sweeping water anywhere he goes. Itsjust tactical teams sweeping water anywhere he goes. Its just the state of the world we are in a three sweeping ward lines. It is need to get people out there they can trust, whether it is local Law Enforcement, swat teams or Secret Service crt, Secret Service catv. They all need to be out there, they need to get more resources out there to get more resources out there to prevent this, i have a Feeling It will be other copycat potential attacks like this, who knows in this day and age, possible, so we have to be ready for it. Age, possible, so we have to be ready for it ready for it. Sally, thats something ready for it. Sally, thats something were ready for it. Sally, thats something were waiting j ready for it. Sally, thats i something were waiting to ready for it. Sally, thats something were waiting to see, how potentially former President Trumps Security Taoka in hull trains, biden has promised he will be safe and provide the resources to make sure it is happened and i noticed in the past few minutes ago we have not actually heard from President Trumps and painting as to whether he will alter his schedule in the past few days is really meantjd vance is said that he might do that were still waiting to hear from the trump team. But those who have spoken to him today have been reporting in the us media that he is doing well and he is evenjokingly wished that he managed to finish his round of golf but nonetheless im sure he shaken tonight and he is waiting to see what the next few days old. Thank you so much, lucy hockings. Poland is set to declare a state of Natural Disaster as extreme flooding extends across parts of central and Eastern Europe and torrential downpours are forecast to continue until at least the end of monday. At least three people have died in poland, five have been killed in romania, while in austria, a firefighter died tackling the floods there. Several people remain unaccounted for in the czech republic. Some parts of poland have faced the worst flooding in almost three decades and a bridge collapsed in this historic Polish Town near the czech border. Our eastern Europe Correspondent Sarah Rainsford has the latest from southwest poland. The river is raging. Close to bursting its banks. Its putting everything in its path under huge pressure. In the town centre, streets have already disappeared under floodwater. Just about passable for those determined to struggle home. But the level is rising fast. A few miles away, things are even worse. We could not reach this town. The family who sent us this video were trapped in their home as the local mayor declared the town was drumming. Its true for a large part of southwestern poland. At the foot of the mountains, after the torrential rain of storm boris. There is a giant Rescue Operation already under way.

French authorities have described the death of eight migrants in the channel as a new tragedy. The boat they were on was carrying around 60 people in total and broke apart as it was heading to the uk. Officials said the smugglers were putting people at greater and greater risk. The british prime Minister Sir Keir starmer will discuss issues including migration with the italian prime minister In Rome later today. Our political correspondent sent this update. Number 10 says the trip is part of what they are calling a reset of relations with europe but clearly migration will feature highly and Keir Starmer is looking closely at the approach that italy has taken because over the course of the past year, italy has seen a reduction of more than 60 in the number of people making the crossing from north africa. Key to that is financial deals that italy has struck with Tunisia And Libya strengthen Border Security in those countries but another element of this is an agreement italy has reached with albania to Process Asylum claims there. Crosstalk. Keir starmer has said that is something he is interested in. Italys approach is not without controversy, not least from Human Rights Groups who have raised concerns, but now that number 10 has ditched over Wanda Plan and is choosing instead to focus on what it calls matching the criminal gangs behind this its clear they have to come up with a package of measures to see the number of crossings reduced. Hundreds of migrants have attempted to force their way across the moroccan border to the Spanish Enclave of ceuta. A large group had attempted to make the same crossing earlier on sunday. They were pushed back by moroccan police. Police say more than 60 people have been arrested in the past week for spreading information online seeking to organise what they call collective illegal immigration operations.

Well, weve seen plenty of sunshine throughout the weekend, also a few outbreaks of rain for some but that is the last of the wet weather that well see for quite a few days yet because for much of next week, its looking dry and settled. High pressure dominant, more sunshine and it will feel warmer by day and milder by night, too. Just watch out for the possibility of some rather murky mornings with Mist And Fog patches developing, especially where the winds stay light. Now, heres that area of high Pressure Building in from the southwest. Its centred more or less right over the uk as we head through monday, deflecting these low Pressure Systems out towards the north and the west. Now, as we head into Monday Morning itself, therell be some Mist And Fog, particularly for north west england, south west scotland, perhaps. Its milder towards the south with that legacy of cloud for a while, coolest out towards the north and the east, but a whole range of temperatures as we start off the day. Now, the mist and the fog will readily lift and clear as we head through the Morning And Therell be plenty of sunshine around, lots of blue skies. High cloud turning the Sunshine Hazy at times. More of a breeze out towards the far south and the east. We could see one or two very isolated showers for kent, but its still unlikely. More cloud for northern ireland later on through the day and temperatures in the high teens, the low 20s. 2i Celsius for parts of central and eastern england its close to the seasonal average. And then, on tuesday, well, we could see any Mist And Fog, really, across parts of yorkshire, lincolnshire, down through the east midlands, more of a north easterly wind for east anglia, South East England here and a bit more in the way of cloud for Northwest Scotland but with a southwesterly wind blowing, then, for parts of the moray firth, the highlands, temperatures could reach 21 or 22 celsius, so certainly feeling warm here. Wednesday and thursday, our area of High Pressure starts to meander further northwards and eastwards. Its still dry towards the north. Towards the south, well see more of an easterly breeze take hold, but it is going to be feeling warm here. Again, theres a more noticeable northeasterly blow. Windy through the channel, perhaps, but 24 celsius in Central Southern England and South East England and again 21 or 22 celsius for those sheltered areas of scotland. So, heres the outlook for our capital cities, then, as we head through the week. Theres a lot of sunshine around. Its dry and its settled. We could potentially see a few showers break out on friday. Bye bye. A crucial Court Hearing for tiktok that could decide its future in the us market. Not so smart cities thats the worry in europe with top ceos warning about slow connectivity. And india braces itself for their biggest Media Entity Thanks to investment from one of asias richest men and the magic kingdom. Live from london, this is business today. Im sally bundock. Tiktok is getting its day in court at a hearing that could decide its fate in the united states. The social Media Platform is challenging a us law signed by president Joe Biden earlier this year. It aims to compel its chinese parent company, bytedance, to sell the company orface a ban. Tiktok claims it has more than 170 Million users in the us. Our North America Technology Correspondent Lily Jamali has more from san francisco. They did so with a rare bipartisan support. Lawmakers said tiktok should share the data of its 170 Million american users with the chinese government and open the door to chinese propaganda. Tiktok has denied those allegations. The company has called the measure extraordinary intrusion on free speech rights. It will make its case before a 3 judge Appeals Court Panel on monday and will bejoined by
