With the baltimore bridge, yeah, it could have been the cable line sniping. But it also could have been something else. It could have also been that the construction workers who had been working on this bridge since january of this year where weakening the infrastructure so that when it was hit, it would collapse on cue. But i do know that massive steel and cement bridges don't just fall like a house of cards. Just like how we know that buildings don't, either.

What was your first reaction? that was staged. That was my first reaction.

So right away, i think there was a hesitancy to say that but as time went on, more accounts, more people were positioning — positioning that belief. Who thought of it? who paid people? how did they engage that shooter? what did he think that he was going to come away with it? and also, those early days, you could — they interviewed more than one person who said, we saw the shooter. We alerted local police and we were perplexed as to why they didn't do anything and why did they even let trump come out, knowing that — there were many failures that day, it seems like, and to me, there is no other logical explanation. Camille's suspicion started with allegations of security failings that day. The director of the us secret service has since resigned because of those. What the evidence so far bradley tallis is less than four months before the 2024 election, a 20—year—old named hamas matthew cox attempted to assassinate the former president. Don't want to be targeted again in the campaign during what the fbi has called another assassination attempt —— thomas matthew cox. But the motors remain unknown which leaves many questions wide open —— crooks. And camille's thoughts continued to spiral. The colour of his shirt and cuff are blood free. This is a sympathy play.

It is a way of thinking it is developed over several years but camille is a newcomer. Back near the waterfall in rural colorado, it is clear to me that wild mother is clear to me that wild mother is no stranger to this way of looking at the world. While camille was watching this assassination attempt unfold on tv, wild mother also immediately heard the news. The difference between her and camille is that wild mother thinks donald trump is the best option for president this election. Talk me through the day when you found out they had been an assassination attempt targeting donald trump? sorry, it was actually _ targeting donald trump? sorry, it was actually on _ targeting donald trump? sorry, it was actually on my _ targeting donald trump? sorry, it was actually on my birthday.

And my sister had come into the bedroom at that point and said oh my god, trump wasjust shut that point and said oh my god, trump was just shut out. And i was like oh! 0f trump was just shut out.

Whether it was him attempting to gain more followers or if it was the liberals attempting to end the life of a former president running for office. I don't — i don't know yet so i don't — i don't know yet so i don't like to put my comments out there and was it's for, obviously, reasons that will draw in more questions so that we can try to figure it out. I don't think that we are there yet. I think that it was very. . . It was very strange, which is why i'm led to believe that there is something more behind it than what we are being told.

And it would make people who were real thinkers feel like going crazy. I wasn't allowed to go to work anymore and i started seeing things online, just alternative ideas about what was happening behind the scenes then, and in my core, those things made way more sense than what we were being told, so it really forced me to keep doing research from that point forward.

Right? and so, when i decided i was going to run for office, you know, a year or so later, i was a little bit nervous. I had worked really closely with election administrators in my previous role and every single person i knew that what it elections had gotten a death threat. And so, at the time, i was looking at running for office, i was living by myself and, i mean, i have a dog but he is 20 pounds and not ferocious, bright, so like charlie is not going to get you. So i was living by some of time and i was like huh. Is this going to be ok? i am also the first latina elected to this particular role. I identify as bi and i'm also the first out clear person in this role, right? and we know that sometimes your identities impact people see you or interact with you on the internet or, right, feel entitled to send you various types of e—mails and i was nervous.

And ahead of this presidential election, it's not just the old—timers but also, the new recruits. Hello. On friday, we had some further flooding problems causing disruption on some of our road and railway networks, particularly focused around parts of the midlands. This was how one of our flood—hit communities in warwickshire looked like, and we still have a number of flood warnings currently in force — again, tightly clustered around the midlands and, of course, it's here where we've seen extreme rainfall so far this month. The wettest place in woburn, bedfordshire — we've had over four times the september average rainfall. Well over three times the average rainfall in oxfordshire, and that's what's caused the flooding issues. Now, we have something of a quieter window of weather into saturday. Chilly northwesterly winds with us, yes, and a few showers draped around our coastal fringes. Many inland areas dry, clear and cold. Yes, heading into the first part of saturday morning, in the countryside, temperatures well down into single figures — cold enough for a nip of frost into parts of scotland and northern england. So, saturday — a very cold start to the day for september but plenty of sunshine for most. The exception is scotland, where weak weather fronts will move in, bringing some thicker cloud and a few patches of light rain. And although there could be an odd shower for northern ireland, the northwest of both england and wales, it should be mostly dry here. And certainly fine for southern parts of wales, southern england, the midlands and eastern england. Lots of sunshine but it will be another chilly day for this time of the year. Sunday, second half of the weekend, is dominated by this next area of low pressure. It's going to be another cold morning. Plenty of morning sunshine but then, it turns cloudier from the south—west, the winds start to pick up and it becomes very windy for wales and south west england — gusts here reaching around 50 or 60 miles an hour. Through the afternoon, eventually, we'll start to see some rain getting into northern ireland, wales and western areas of england, leaving the north and east of the uk dry with some hazy spells of sunshine. Through sunday night and into monday, that's when we'll see some of that rain falling on our flood—hit communities. One thing i would say is the rain isn't going to be as extreme as it has been but clearly, any extra rain is probably not going to be too helpful. A wet and a windy day, then, for most of us on monday and it will continue to be cool for the time of year — temperatures from around 12 in edinburgh to about 16 in london. Heading, then, into the first part of october — yeah, where has this year gone? — it looks like it should be dry but on the chilly side. Bye for now. Live from washington, this is bbc news.
