A gun through the fence, 500 yards from where he was playing. The suspect, ryan wesley routh, has been charged today with two gun offences. Detectives said Cellphone Records showed he had spent nearly 12 hours in the Tree Line of the Golf Course and that he had previously been been convicted in north carolina. There will be a review of Donald Trumps security as we head into the final weeks of the campaign. President biden thinks the Secret Service will need more resources. I think god that he is ok. Getting a full report so far but one thing i want to make clear, the service needs more help. And i think congress should respond to their needs that they need more. And that is what will be talking about. To be any . More money . I think we need more to be any . More money . I think we need more personnel. To be any . More money . I think. We need more personnel. Whether they need more personnel or not. But Donald Trump has been using the Incident Today to try and regain some political advantage, telling Fox News that in his view, it is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to blame for yesterdays attack, because they keep referring to him as a threat to democracy, for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Heres our North America Editor sarah smith. Has been charged with illegal possession of a fire arm. And while he is apparentlyjoking with friends shortly after the incident that he is frustrated he had been able to finish his pod because he been playing particularly well, he has also been much more direct, more so than he was after the first Assassination Attempt at blaming his political opponents and think its their language and think its their Language And Rhetoric that is causing these attempts against his life. There are now real, and justified fears for the safety not only of Donald Trump and his running mateJd Vance, but also for president biden, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz . All of them at risk of a copy cat attack. At one Point Today trumps Billionaire Supporter Elon musk questioned on x why no one had tried to take out the vice president. A post he first tried to defend but then later deleted. So where is all this going . I have been speaking to the former national security advisor, general Hr Mcmaster who has just published a memoir of his 13 months inside the trump White House.

Its a call to stop the self destructive behaviour. Do you think the toxicity of politics in america right now is making washington less effective . Not less a effective domestically because congress is not been much affect and recent times. But as a superpower in the World Stage . Absolutely. What i describe is the tendency of ministrations to define a new president s Foreign Policy as an opposition to the predecessor we have these enduring challenges to our security and our prosperity including two revisionist powers on Eurasian Landmass in russia in china and coalescing where they have pulled in iran, the islamic republic of Iran And North korea in an effort, i think, to tear down the existing rules of international discourse and replace them with new rules that are sympathetic to their authoritarian forms of government and in Chinas Case in particular, its economic model.

I think that we have for many years, been complacent and our Foreign Policy and christian, love this has to do with unrealistic assumptions about the nature of the post cold war world. In this, they guaranteed the privacy of our free and open societies over close to authoritarian systems and if we believe that this is a relic of the past that are technological prowess no technological Military Prowess but guarantee our prosperity in our security well into the future, i believe this was a set up for strategic shocks and disappointments of the 20005 and in Donald Trump. Ye5, the 20005 and in Donald Trump. Yes, we did. I saw was myjob and you have to remember, in the book i describe what does the book i describe what does the Security Adviser do. The only person in the foreign Policy And Security establishment who has the president as his or her on the client. So, it was myjob to help the Disruptor In chief, Donald Trump, disrupt what needed to be disrupted and he did that and the 180 Degrees Shift in what i we were doing towards the aggression of the chinese communist party. People do not realise when i told the story about this, in the first year of the Trump Administration, he imposed huge costs on Flagler Putin and that more sanctions on russian individuals in the previous eight years of the 0bama administration, including closing the consulate expelling scores of undeclared intelligence agents after the poisoning and Attempted Murder of the daughter with the Band Nerve Agent in 2018. I told mr about how we framed these issues to help make the best possible decisions. You issues to help make the best possible decisions. Possible decisions. You right in the book possible decisions. You right in the book of possible decisions. You right in the book of you possible decisions. You right in the book of you towards i possible decisions. You right i in the book of you towards your wife that i cannot understand pooch ands hold on Donald Trump, did you come to a conclusion as to what that was . I did in the main conclusion is, President Trump and everyone knows this, has great confidence in his ability to make a big deal and this was the same sort of assumption that afflicted him, george w. Bush and Barack 0bama and george w. Bush looked and saw a man who cares about his people, how did that work . President 0bama had a Reset Strategy and both of them got to probe found the disappointed and i would say, this guy is the best liar and he would say that he feels surrounded and that he is Security Concerns but what i try to convey to President Trump and told some stories about this in the book that led to some strong decisions by President Trump, the only thing that provokes putin is the perception of weakness and so, he was persuaded by that and of course, he would fall back into the Trap A Resume of the campaign trail, a lot of it is who is the last person he talks to . And so, he is so disruptive at times i tell many stories about this that he describes himself and he becomes the antagonist in his own story. So come over that story of how your approached Vladimir Putin in mind, what about the way they now look to approach the ukraine issue. We had a Plan Fromjd Vance ukraine issue. We had a plan from Jd Vance and he has outlined what he thinks the endgame should be saying we should have a Demilitarised Zone and the russians will retain the Land Theyve taken and ukrainian side will be heavily fortified to prevent another russian invasion in russia will get a guarantee of neutrality and so, ukraine would never be able to join nato or the eu. And mind of what you say about putin, do you think that play whatever work . ,. ,. , � work . No. It will not work. And putin not work . No. It will not work. And putin not stop. Work . No. It will not work. And putin not stop. Look work . No. It will not work. And putin not stop. Look at work . No. It will not work. And putin not stop. Look at what i work . No. It will not work. And putin not stop. Look at what he has done against ukraine going back to the Assassination Attempts at 2003 and the invasion of 2014 the sustained campaign and political subversion and how russia has been waged through russian new Generation Warfare across all of europe in the united states and this includes cyber attacks and assassinations and other forms of intimidation. Dependence on russian oil and perhaps most of all, the sustained campaign of cyber enabled Disinformation Warfare against us. What that would give is give vladimir Putin Estate in ukraine and give him the dependency of russia for ukraine security so he can manipulate the state of ukraine in essentially make it a vassal state. And the great English Philosopher said war is not the best way of settling differences, but its the only way to ensure that they are not settled, and doing the same to ukraine because from ukrainian perspective it was horrible as the words ben, i think that Cease Fire places them in the profoundest advantage and its higher than the press of continuing the war.

And i am confident in our constitution and you know who we owe it to . 0liver Cromwell because our founders were afraid of and Oliver Cromwell Figure and there was built into our constitution the checks and balances under the congress in article three and it is important to remember Donald Trump tried everything to switch the outcome of the election and i cannot remember all of the two scores of lawsuits but they were resolved in favour of the outcome against these false claims of widespread election fraud.

So what im hoping for his people around him, they bore him about these charlatans and grifters and those trying to manipulate him but it doesnt look good, right now with him talking about immigrants eating dogs and is a conversation im sure right before the debate what this is the last person to talk to them.

We are a country of immigrants. It is what makes us competitive. Immigrants. It is what makes us competitive competitive. There are politicians competitive.

I will tell you, big answers in the Trump Administration and tell the story of the remaining Mexico Agreement with mexico and despite President Trumps seemingly compulsion to insult the mexican president and came up the mexican president and came up with some unprecedented agreements for Security Cooperations with mexico, under president lopez, he ignored those and said i do not think we have been those and said i do not think we have been as those and said i do not think we have been as demanding| those and said i do not think i we have been as demanding of our neighbour to help stem the flow of this immigration and those other countries in the region.

The Mug Shot of Huw Edwards was made public today. Formerly one of the most prominent faces in bbc news. Today he was given a six month suspended prison sentence, after admitting charges of making indecent images of children, one of whom was aged between seven and nine. Edwards previously pleaded guilty to three charges, after he was sent 41 illegal images by a convicted Sex Offender. His lawyer told the court that edwards was profoundly sorry and that he recognised the repugnant nature of the images. The bbc said he had betrayed notjust The Corporation but also the audiences who put their trust in him. Our special Correspondent Lucy manning was in court. Huw edwards facing the camera not his usual one in the bbc� s studios, but the metropolitan polices after he was arrested. This is his custody photo, a Far Cry from his smart on screen image. Mr edwards, do you apologise . Mr edwards, do you apologise for your crimes . Now a convicted Sex Offender, he came with a suitcase, prepared if his punishment was prison. The court heard disturbing and graphic details of his crime, descriptions of the videos of children, including one as young as seven that he looked at, and money that he gave to another Sex Offender who sent them to him. The images were discovered in the whatsapp messages of alex williams, who sent them to edwards. The police were unable to find the former� s newsreader� S Phone that hed used to look at them. Edwards responses to the 41 indecet images are particularly revealing. In one exchange, he describes the Images Williams has sent as amazing. Williams then says he can try and get more videos, if you like, 13,14,15,16. Months later, edwards says, dont send underage, but in another exchange, when williams describes images he is offering as young, edwards replies, Go On. As the judge sentenced him, he listened intensely, emotional as the court heard about his mental health problems, his suicide risk, and an upbringing where his failure to get into 0xford left him feeling like an outsider at the bbc. Edwards, through his barrister, apologised. He said he wanted the court to know how profoundly sorry he was, that the images were repugnant and he recognised the hurt done to those in them, that he had betrayed the Trust And Faith of so many people and hurt and damaged his family. But the police clear that when edwards looked at the pictures and videos, exploited children were the victims here. Behind every image is a vulnerable child that has been violated, that has been subject to abuse, and the continuing distribution of those images only goes to service that demand. Tonight at ten, thousands of police. Edwards was at the top of his career and the bbc, the man entrusted to tell the nation the queen had died. Bbc television is broadcasting this special programme reporting the death of Her Majesty the queen. Reading the news until he became it, initially suspended by the bbc last year, in the aftermath of separate allegations in the sun, that hed paid a young, vulnerable man for explicit photos. The bbc, criticised for still paying him more than £200,000 after they knew hed been arrested, said, we are appalled by his crimes, he has betrayed notjust the bbc, but audiences who put their trust in him. Its very difficult to see any way that huw can come back. I think you should never say never in this industry, he certainly would never be employed as, you know, the Flagship Presenter for a major broadcaster. Even those close to him had one view of who Huw Edwards was, which is very different from The One thats been revealed in this process. It is difficult to think of a more startling reversal of circumstances from respected newsreader to convicted criminal. Hell now Go On the Sex Offenders register. As the judge said, his reputation is in tatters edwards breaking Notjust The Trust that view is placed in him but the law. Lucy manning, bbc news. This is the blazing in texas.

Further south, those Clear Skies, some Fog Patches most likely across parts of east wales, into the midlands, perhaps up into northern england, as well. Temperatures will dip away towns and cities around 5 6 celsius, some spots in the countryside i think could get quite close to freezing, say, across parts of northern england. Some early fog across parts of wales, the midlands, up into northern england, that will tend to clear, then well see lots of sunshine through the day tomorrow. A bit more cloud into the southeast corner, where it will be quite breezy. Could just see the odd Light Shower across kent and sussex. Also more Cloud Rolling in across the western and northern isles, Withjust The Odd Spot of rain some of that cloud quite low, could be quite misty and murky across, say, parts of shetland. But the north of mainland scotland, up to around 23 celsius it will be a warm day tomorrow. That warm theme continues into the middle part of the week, and actually, the cloud in Northern Scotland is set to retreat northwards. Could see a bit more in the way of low cloud, maybe some Mistiness Rolling in from the north sea. So, some patchy cloud here and there on wednesday, perhaps most especially across england and wales, Northern Ireland and scotland seeing a lot of sunshine, but it is a nice looking day. Quite breezy down towards the south that mightjust take The Edge off the temperatures, but still, 24 there in london, 23 across parts of Northern Scotland. As we head towards the end of the week, our area of High Pressure is set to shift northwards, and this low swirling across Iberia Mayjust Start to have an influence it might bring more in the way of showers into parts of england and wales, maybe Northern Ireland, as well, perhaps the odd thunderstorm.
