only added to his lustre among party members and in the national poll — he is now level pegging withjoe biden. so what will it take for the anti—trump republicans to turn this around? the first republican debate is in milwaukee later this month. is there any candidate that could pose a late, and determined challenge? i look at the field and don't see it, but there's a growing degree within the trump camp that they have this in the back that bag. they believe the events of yesterday have pretty much sealed it. tim?- pretty much sealed it. tim? know, i wouldn't bet — pretty much sealed it. tim? know, i wouldn't bet against _ pretty much sealed it. tim? know, i wouldn't bet against either - pretty much sealed it. tim? know, i wouldn't bet against either trump . pretty much sealed it. tim? know, i| wouldn't bet against either trump or biden getting their nominations, and i can't really think of a higher risk domination by either of the two parties then the ones they are currently pursuing. you just rehearsed all the reasons why trump couldn't be such a high risk candidate, he'll be completely engrossed in legal cases. and we know that he's quite good at talking about himself at the best of times, will be he persuasive if he's talking about his legal cases? and on the other side, we have an increase legally and obviously frail president. if i was a democrat i would be very worried that frankly, joe biden is only one fall away from calamity, frankly, and god for bid that resolves in serious impairment for him. but both parties could have another option — there was a debate announced yesterday that the governor of california, gavin newsom, and that democrat —— a democrat, and the governor of florida, ron desantis, will have a debate together on fox news — two politicians in the peak of their lives, acceptable to the mainstream traditions of both of their parties. they could be the candidates for their parties, and it seems such a shame that the world's most important country, most important democracy in the world is still obsessed with these two men who really don't represent the best of their parties or traditions. i really don't represent the best of their parties or traditions.- their parties or traditions. i know we are 18 months _ their parties or traditions. i know we are 18 months away _ their parties or traditions. i know we are 18 months

with that. i think if ron desantis— i agree withjoe, he's not running a brilliant campaign — but if it was ron desantis orjoe biden, ron desantis would win easily because ron desantis is supported by most republicans and he would be a vibrant, young candidate who is transformed florida into one of the fastest growing states in america, and he'd be against a frail, failing incumbent democrat. and i think someone else has said, these are not my words, but donald trump can lose the presidency — he can win it, but he can definitely will lose it, whereas i think ron desantis's chances of beating joe biden are incredibly high. and if ron desantis says he'll pardon trump because, rightfully or wrongfully, these are trumped up charges, he won't better do it because he is not capable of self denial. in a way, that would be trump's best course, to allow someone like desantis to come through. someone like desantis to come throu~h. ., v someone like desantis to come throu~h. . h ,, someone like

later the programming as i knowjoe wants to discuss the economy, but we'll come to that. the surface ocean temperature around the florida keys last week soared to 38 celsius. the temperatures were measured by a series of buoy located in the waters off manatee bay, in the everglades national park. that level of heat is about the same temperature as a hot tub. normally around this time of year it would be aroud 23—31 celsius. and today we got another record, the global average for the oceans, is higher than its ever been 21 celsius in august, which is unusual. if you look at this chart, it shows the average ocean temperatures since 1979. the red line, this year's data. the grey lines show previous years. and you will see it is an upward curve it is getting ever warmer, but those previous peaks were in march, at the end of the summer in the southern hemishphere. and the experts say they are worried. the oceans are vital to help regulate our climate, and the evaporation you have the more moisture you have in the air, which can turbo—charge some of the worlds weather patterns. my colleague in dc, carl nasman, joins me now. carl was a climate change presenter at another network and he's gone the extra mile for us, because can i say that's the best backdrop i've seen tonight. a crazy painting that looks like dried up mud flaps, with reads in it, and a threatening dark sky. it's fantastic! tell me, why is a warming sea particularly dangerous for a state like florida? it couldn't be any more atmospheric where i'm in the us to talk about these record temperatures. let me put this into perspective because it's difficult to understand — the north atlantic is where we seeing a lot of this warming. the water around the uk and ireland is about 4-5 c around the uk and ireland is about 11—5 c above normal, which may not seem like a lot but imagine the amount of energy it takes to raise the entire atlantic ocean by even a fraction of a degree. that's what we are talking about here, these extreme temperatures. hot tub temperatures around the florida keys, but scientists are very worried about the fate of the coral reefs there, calling this their broadest and most worrying bleaching eventin broadest and most worrying bleaching event in the history of the state. we are already seeing corals die off, which play an important part in wildlife but also there to help protect us against storm surges. oceans are critically important in the fight against global warming as well, they are a very effective carbon sink, they soak up that extra c02 that carbon sink, they soak up that extra co2 that humans released by burning fossil fuels, co2 that humans released by burning fossilfuels, in fact co2 that humans released by burning fossil fuels, in fact 90% of the extra heat that humans because it goes straight into the ocean. the problem is warmer water, warmer oceans are not effective in soaking up oceans are not effective in soaking up co2 and heat. it

extreme storms and hurricanes, and extreme storms and hurricanes, and he said, "the state is prepared, we deal with us all the time," but the reality is and what scientists say is it's already hitting florida. you see these daytime flooding events where there is no rain, but in miami the sea rises rising so high that there is flooding in the streets. the ron desantis and other leaders in the republican party have been fighting against climate change, legislation, the senate has been deadlocked on this kind of legislation, joe biden, a democrat, has passed the inflation reduction act which pumped a record amount of money towards green technology, towards solar panels and wind energy trying to make the electric grid here in the united states more green. with the problem is that for any

55—74—year—olds in cornwall, who are former or current smokers, have been coming to this mobile unit for a lung scan. i will see you in - a bit, my love, ok? today, janet is back for a follow—up scan after a nodule was found on her lung. everybody knocks the nhs, but things like this are brilliant. catching lung cancer early is tricky as patients don't go to the gp unless they have symptoms. the problem is about 60% of those patients that we see through that pathway end up having a late—stage cancer. and any other cancers that we find tend to be incidental. that's what this national pilot scheme is about — and this week, the team in cornwall hit 6,000 scans. in that time, at least 45 lung cancers have been identified. smokers attending a lung check are getting help to quit, too. it's never too late to stop smoking, they will always see benefits. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. welcome back. let me show you some pictures from new york, a chaotic scene unfolding. this is downtown manhattan, police are trying to disburse a large crowd gathering at a social media influence or�*s event, a social media influence or�*s event, a giveaway event, in the event, organised by this popular influencer on social media, don't know who it is, had promised prizes and gifts drawing in this massive crowd today, eager to participate. it's raised plenty of questions about the responsibility of social media influencers in managing events, which perhaps haven't been advertised to the police. but it blocked traffic in downtown manhattan today and police are struggling to control it. that's what happens when you put influencers like joel and what happens when you put influencers likejoel and tim on the streets, they come out in droves. now it's time for the panel. two good times for the panel tonight. starting withjoel, we were talking earlier aboutjoe biden and why he's not a shoo—in for the white house this time around. and one of the problems

this will take time, but these are numbers that don't lie, they've been consistent and are not mere blips, they are trends. so over time, heading into next year when it matters, americans will

the premier league, winning their first match of the chamionship season. adam armstrong got the final touch on nathan tella's goal bound effort goal inside the first ten minutes. but wednesday got the equaliser after the break, through lee gregory. southampton are up, they are 2—1 up with three minutes of normal time remaining at hillsborough. the hosts great britain have won four golds and five silvers after a great start to friday's evening session at the cycling world championships in glasgow. they dominated the para—cycling schedule with jody cundy here winning his 20th cycling world title in the men's ca ikm time trial. neil fachie and matthew rotherham took gold in the men's b ikm time trial, and jaco van gass gold in the men's c3 ikm time trial. a memorable night for all of them, especially cundy, who says the home support made a huge difference. come around that last lap, i've not heard a noise like that in years. when you hear that, it's like, "i need to pedal faster and when you hear that, it's like, "i need to pedalfaster and get when you hear that, it's like, "i need to pedal faster and get to the line as quickly as possible." it's a real turnaround from the start of the year i had. and great britain's sophie unwin and jenny holl have won their second world championships gold in the women's b individual pursuit, with team—mates lora fachie and corrine hall taking silver. you can find full details on all the medals on the bbc sport website. the future of the commonwealth games, and its viability is being questioned, after alberta announced they're cancelling their bid to host the 2030 event. it follows victoria in australia who also pulled out of staging the next games in 2026. our correspondent alex capstick tells us where this leaves the games. well it would seem to be in crisis. without a host for the next two editions — though they insist there is ongoing dialogue with potential hosts, been suggestions that india or malaysia might host — but it's clear that finding one committed and prepared to meet all the financial demands of stating such a big multisport event has become increasingly difficult. it's been another successful day for britain at the para swimming world championships in manchester, nine medals in total. two of them gold, including for bethany firth in the women's smia 200 metres individual medley. and for faye rodgers here, who's won her maiden world title in the 510 women's 100m butterfly, smashing the british and european record with a time of one minute 5.118 seconds. she could barely believe it afterwards. i'm so excited, i can't stop smiling! i was looking at the results for a good five minutes before i got out the pool because i was like, "oh my god, is that real?" but i'm just so excited, gas.- but i'm 'ust so excited, gas. could ou but i'mjust so excited, gas. could ou have but i'mjust so excited, gas. could you have ever— but i'mjust so excited, gas. could you have ever expected _

really hard on my fly, i was really hoping for maybe a medal, but to get three is just like way better than what i expected. so yeah, it's pretty crazy. england batter alex hales is retiring from international cricket at the age of 34. he played 156 times for england across three formats, but his international career had been in the wilderness following a failed recreational drugs test in 2019. last year, hales was given a reprieve as a late call—up to england's t20 world cup winning side and would have been a contender for their title defence next year. he'll continue to play for nottinghamshire and in t20 franchises. both matches between southern brave and welsh fire at the hundred gave us excitement until the end today. in the women's match — fire posted a massive 165—3 from their hundred balls, the second highest total since the women's competition began three years ago. despite the big chase, brave got within five runs of the target but fell just short. fire are the early leaders of this year's tournament. but in the men's game, it's southern brave who've come out on top tonight. chasing 148 to win, the fire narrowly lost by two runs, finishing on 145 for seven. in stoppage time i can tell you... the bbc sport website will give you that result. and that's all the sport for now. we are heading for the fourth consecutive weekend... but every cloud has a silver lining, and next weekend i can offer you something a little more promising — settled and some are like. at the moment it's all about storm anthony, which is moving its way across northern ireland bringing a heavy spell of rain during the early hours of saturday morning. and it's that —— is that rain continues to drive its way steadily eastwards, the winds will strengthen as well. so we are widely likely to see 20—a0 mm, maybury moore, then the winds gusting to 50—65 mph on the west facing coasts of wales and england. very unusual for this time of year. the rain drives its way quickly eastwards, then into the afternoon, circulating around that low we will see a rash of sharp, possibly foundry downpours. slowly improving into northern ireland and lighter winds and fewer showers lately for scotland, but the temperatures will be disappointing right across the country, a maximum of 14—18 c by the middle part of the afternoon. the low pressure will gradually move away and the winds will die down, so as we push into sunday, it might be as we push into sunday, it might be a pleasant start with some early morning sunshine, particularly in eastern areas. lighter winds and, as we go through the day, we'll see a scattering of showers developing out towards the west, some of these will move it further inland but with a little more sunshine coming in, it'll be a degree or so warmer, top temperatures of 68 fahrenheit. showers are longer spells of rain is likely, particularly on tuesday, another spell of wet weather to come. but we can offer you a glimpse of something more optimistic. by the middle part of next week, an area of high pressure is likely to build and we haven't seen this for quite some time. so from wednesday onwards, we are likely to see some dryer, settled and more summerlike weather. there's still uncertainty how long it'll last, but for next week showers are longest bills of rain to begin with, but as a high pressure builds, certainly things will settle down and warm up for many. extended from nine to 19 years. alexei navalny is found guilty of founding and funding an extremist organisation, charges he denies. he was already in prison,

it is gold forjody cundy~ — and it's a golden night for britain's para cyclists at the world championships in glasgow. and on newsnight at 10:30, after the un secretary—general said global warming had turned into global boiling, we are now told to ignore the doommongers. we can do this, says the world's top climate change scientists. good evening. the man widely seen as the kremlin's most vocal critic, alexei navalny, has told his supporters not to lose the will to resist, after having his prison sentence extended from nine to 19 years.
