"the kiss was consensual." he also claimed he was the victim of a man—hunt and fake feminism. but in the last hour, jenni hermoso has confirmed she did not consent to the kiss. spain's government want him to go and is taking legal action. some other stories now, and are you a renter having problems with a landlord? well, a watchdog looking into tenants' rights says a "significant minority" of landlords aren't following the rules. it's going to look into things like sham licenses, where renters are told they've fewer rights than they actually do. next, some more legal trouble for donald trump. this was the mugshot taken of him in georgia, where he's been charged with trying to change the result of the 2020 election. and it's a big weekend for festivals — reading and leeds kicks off today and notting hill carnival starts on sunday, but getting there might be tricky. rail workers are striking over pay, meaning fewer trains will run. we're going to leave you with ten seconds of corgi olympics! well, kind of. this is the second annual corgi race in lithuania. there were seven weight categories with prizes for the fastest dog and even best dressed. how cute are they?! you're all caught up. have a great weekend! hello. we'll take a look at the forecast for the weekend in a moment but i want to look back first of all at some of the dramatic weather we saw during friday because in parts of scotland, vicious thunderstorms spawned some funnel clouds — this one here in fife looking like it touched down on the ground, making it a tornado, and you can see the extent of those intense thunderstorms across eastern, central and southern parts of scotland through friday but there were plenty of showers and storms elsewhere as well. now, there are more showers in the outlook for the weekend but i think they will tend to become a little less intense, a little less potent. there'll be some spells of sunshine, too. low pressure in charge of the scene. around the western flank of the low, some quite brisk winds coming down from the north. you'll feel the effects of that across north—west scotland, parts of northern ireland. some rain in the north of scotland tending to spill southwards as the day wears on. cloud amounts increasing for northern ireland. again, some showers here. for england and wales, sunny spells, scattered showers and, particularly for central and eastern parts of england, some of those showers will be heavy and possibly thundery. 22 in the south—east corner, cooler than that further north and west. at reading and leeds forfestival—goers, i think some showers will be in the forecast but there'll be some spells of sunshine in between. and as we go through saturday night, it's actually going to be quite a cool and fresh affair. some showers will continue, particularly in western areas. temperatures even in the towns and cities down to 9 or 10 degrees. and then, we will see a band of cloud and rain starting to push in across northern ireland. now, this will make very slow progress eastwards. it's also going to peter out as it goes, so just turning cloudy and damp for northern ireland. elsewhere, sunny spells and showers but the showers should be a little bit less intense by this stage. and temperatures north to south 14—21, maybe 22 degrees in the south—east. so, for the notting hill carnival on sunday, a chance for a shower — i think there should be some lengthy dry gaps in between any showers — and monday looks like being a largely dry day because this area of high pressure is going to try to build in. so, monday — which is a bank holiday for most of us, of course — looks like a mostly dry day. there will be one or two showers, some spells of sunshine too, and temperatures in the high teens or low 20s. live from washington, this is a special us politics edition of bbc news. making the most of his mugshot, donald trump portrays himself as the victim as he joins 18 co—defendants in the georgia election fraud case. this is the fourth criminal case for the former president, as his legal troubles and election calendar grow even more complicated. while mr trump's rivals try to play catch up at the first presidential debate. welcome to this special us politics addition of bbc news. wea re breaking down this action—packed week of legal developments and political posturing, plus what it all means for the american presidential race moving forward. all 19 defendants in the election fraud case have now surrendered to authorities. the most notable, of course, is former president donald trump.
