are with us tonight. it is good to have you with us, and fresh from your visit to the white house yesterday. how was that, martin, and what came of it? well, i think we had some very constructive discussions. a large part of it dealt with the most recent hate crime that occurred on saturday, the 26th, when we were actually engaged in the actual march. and the fact that hate speech, hate crime has to have more teeth in it, there has to be something else to change the climate, to change the conditions, looking at some kind of, i don't want to say regulation, but control on what is done on the internet, looking at the hate even in some police departments — we found out a lot of police department have members who are sympathisers of nazis, etc. so we had some very constructive conversations. at the end of the day, the only time most of this can change is at election time. so dad said, "a vote was people is a powerless people," and one of the most important steps we must take is that short step to the ballot box. there is an election this year locally and in some states, but there will also be a presidential election next year which will be of paramount importance. it

here in this country. a white - supremacist. with that in mind, i want to play our viewers eight clip from a town hall in iowa, vivek ramaswamy, who is rising in the polls, commenting on race, and i want you to hear what he said. ayanna presley — she's. in congress today, she's a member of the squad — her words, not mine, - "we don't want any more black faces that don't want to be a black voice. i "we don't want any more brown faces that don't i "want to be a brown voice." |these are the words of the modernj grand wizards, of the modern kkk. imean, quite i mean, quite clearly, martin, it is historically inappropriate to compare a congresswoman with the kkk — but if you want to talk about the politics of identity, that is a valid political debate. in fact, maybe we should pull that part out of it. do you think identity politics is at the root of what is going wrong in america at the moment? ~ going wrong in america at the moment?— going wrong in america at the moment? ~ . ., , ,

what creates not - moment? well certainly, identity politics is what creates not just . moment? well certainly, identity politics is what creates not just a | politics is what creates notjust a perception, but a reality of what is wrong with the modern political system. it does not mean you shouldn't have dialogue and discussion about issues, but when you put issues and frame them in such a way that it really is... it's like adding fuel to a fire — why would you do that, for what purpose? what are you trying to stir up? you're certainly not trying to bring us together as a nation. so it's very sad that this is where we are. it is where we are, but i think that characterisation that he chose to use was far out of line and not reflective of who the congresswoman is. �* ., ., ,., .,

not far we've come? had or how far we've come -- how far, or health not far we've come?— health not far we've come? had he lived, we would _ health not far we've come? had he lived, we would have _

we would have been on a different trajectory and we would've made more progress. we would have had issues but i don't think we would have these issues that are existing today. but if he was just to show up as if he had not been here and seeing what was happening, here and seeing what was happening, he would be beyond greatly disappointed. he would maybe even be petrified — probably though not surprised based on the climate of how things have evolved or devolved. in a sense, we really have devolved when you look at history being written out and not being included... written out and not

rights to vote for all people. when you look at the fact that the right for the woman to chooseis fact that the right for the woman to choose is gone, when you look at affirmative action, it's gone — all the things that represented the forward progress — and again, none of this is about collective guilt, it's about collective responsibility. how do we make america better? how do we not go backward? we are going backward, not forward. the universe goes forward post up humankind is trying to push us backward. at the end of the universe will win.— us backward. at the end of the universe

this evening, thank - universe will win. level you talk to you both this evening, thank you l universe will win. level you talk to i you both this evening, thank you for coming on the programme, lovely to see you both. we met thank you for having us. i'm looking at someone here who, 12 years ago, became the first lieutenant governor of florida, you are the first black republican elected to state—wide office. in 2018, we had the most diverse house of representatives — have we come a long way in terms of representation? we've made a lot of progress along the way, and anyone that says we haven't is fooling themselves. can we do more? of course. but i think what we also need to do is, as we mentioned earlier in the segment, is to allow ourselves to agree to disagree. we have differing views, just because we are all the same race doesn't mean we think the same way and come from the same socioeconomic backgrounds or have the same experiences. i am a caribbean, and i migrated to this country and joined the military — the field i was in, i was usually the field i was in, i was usually the only female, the only black female, and did i experience discrimination and racism? sure i did, but! discrimination and racism? sure i did, but i was still able to excel to retire as a lieutenant commander in the united states navy to go into politics being the first woman elected as lieutenant governor in the state of florida as a black person, first black person to be elected state—wide in the state of florida. so progress has been made, but what we need to do is understand that doctor king wanted us to be judged not by the colour of our skin, but by the content of our character. and what he also said in a lot of his speeches is that through our work that we do in preparing ourselves for when opportunities come, the excellence that we portray in our experience is that we portray in our experience is that we portray in our experience is that we have, and our skill sets that we have, and our skill sets that we have will not be denied. that regardless of anyone else's cover, if we possess that skill that is excellent —— anyone else's colour, people will gravitate towards us to require our services and skill sets. so the number —— there are a number of things that come to race but often times we look at the colour of our skin and not the content of our character. and the content of our character. and wrote about _ the content of our character. and wrote about this _ the content of our character. and wrote about this issue of identity politics that

we all belong to one group or another at the end of the day, and that's how we tend to vote. could the london's mayors ultra low emmission zone cost labour the general election? john will have a view on this. even before ulez was expended into every london borough, it now costs you £12.50 to drive a non—compliant vehicle in london — the policy has proved costly for sadiq khan's party. many think it undermined labour's campaign in the recent uxbridge by—election. this morning, just after the expanded scheme went live, the mayor was asked by bbc radio whether more votes might be lost. it has already cost labour the uxbridge by—election, have you thought about it costing labour the general election potentially? well, i am quite clear in relation to the policies to reduce air pollution in london. londoners want to see cleanerair in our city. londoners support policies to tackle air pollution. it was a difficult decision, i accept ulez was a factor in the by—election. there was a lot of misinformation around that seat. obviously, i am disappointed, we made history and won that seat for the first time in my lifetime. but, londoners support our policies to clean up air in the city. i will carry on listening to londoners to make sure that we can ameliorate any concerns people have. we now have a scrappage scheme which means every single londoner with a noncompliant car, motorbike, orvan, can receive support, and i will carry on listening. john, we are tied for time because we spoke so long to the kings, but i wanted to ask you about this. this is becoming the london mayor's defining issue. is there a danger he becomes so evangelical about this, and some would say he's honourable to do so, that as a result he stopped listening to londoners? he has listened by changing the scheme, but i has listened by changing the scheme, but i also _ has listened by changing the scheme, but i also think he's listening to the silent — but i also think he's listening to the silent

across the uk. for well over 100 years, the glendale show has been big news in north northumberland. a proper local event for local people — but it attracts visitors and equestrian competitors from much further afield. one's a shire, and one's a shire—cross—clyde. but they're a good matching pair. they're what they used to use in breweries years ago. but some events are less serious than some others. we have miniature mediterranean donkeys — they originate from sicily and sardinia. their maximum height is 36 inches at the shoulder, and we just — they're fun. we just show them for fun, and this agility at the end is just purely about fun for everybody to watch, as well as the donkeys. some like to do it, and some don't. i was going to say, yours was a bit recalcitrant going around there, wasn't he? you were, weren't you? good lad. the glendale show has still not fully recovered from the covid pandemic, but nobody here is questioning its long—term viability — or that of the industry that supports it. for more stories from across the uk, head to the news website. you're live with bbc news. now it's time for the panel. john, let's start with you. you want to talk about the

and they'll get more money to offset the extra pollution. we've not heard from natural england yet so we will see what they make of the new plan. just two minutes left, jenny, talk to me about food banks in america? it's a problem here in the uk, the number of people who have to attend food banks — and it seems that it's people you would least expect in some of the top—performing universities in america? top-performing universities in america? , , top-performing universities in america? ,, , ., america? this is very true, at harvard. _ america? this is very true, at harvard. they _ america? this is very true, at harvard, they recently - america? this is very true, at harvard, they recently asked | america? this is very true, at - harvard, they recently asked their graduate students to apply for food stamps. and i think instead of asking the graduate students to apply for food stamps, the universities need to look at how much they are charging students and what they charge students for. if the students are going bankrupt and not having enough money to feed themselves, the real questions should be, is the institution charging too much for this college education? because they are getting federal dollars, they are getting endowments, as well as money from the alumni — plus the student fees that they are receiving. so these institutions, as opposed to asking students to dip into the food bank and/or request money from the federal government for food stamps where you have needy families that have no jobs that are living on and poverty, they're taking the money and giving it to something else... jennifer, we are out of time, it's a good one, thank you. good night. good evening. i marked edward —— i marc edwards with your support. and six brits in action on day three of the us open in new york. the 2012 winner andy murray on court as we speak. the 36—year—old three—time grand slam champion is up against corentin moutet of france, and came out of the blocks the fastest taking the first set 6—2. but moutet made much more of a fight of it in the second set in fact he wasted two set points before murray showed that indomitable spirit to come back and take the set 7—5. british men's number one cameron norrie is through to the second round. the 16th seed seeing off russian alexander shevchenko in straight sets, 6—3 6—2 6—2. norrie putting in a confident performance against this 83rd—ranked opponent. having climbed to a career—high ranking of 60th in the world earlier this month, british women's number one katie boulter has now reached the second round for the first time in her career, with an impressive win, 6—4, 6—0 win over 20—year—old french opponent diane parry. the spanish football federation is exploring its options over whether it can sack women's world cup—winning head coachjorge vilda. vilda remains in thejob, despite most of his coaching staff resigning in protest against federation president luis rubiales' refusal to quit for kissing squad member jenni hermoso after their world cup win. vilda was spotted applauding rubiales on friday, when he repeatedly insisted he would not resign. england midfielder ella toone says rubiales' beahaviour has overshadowed spain's success. spain were unbelievable throughout the tournament, they've won the world cup which should be the main talking point — and yet it's overshadowed by something that happened after the game which isn't acceptable, and the lionesses all stand byjenni hermoso. a couple of the higher players, the girls, the leaders and the squad got together and brought a statement out that we all wanted to put together as a team to show our support and solidarity, and to show that we were thinking ofjenni hermoso. but yeah, we want the right thing to be done. we don't want things like this to be happening in women's sport, and unfortunately it is, and it's talking points we shouldn't have to be talking about, we should be talking about the success of the world cup and how we've inspired the nation and next generation — yet it's overshadowed by something that shouldn't be happening. so yeah, hopefully the right thing is done, but we all stand byjenni hermoso and what's going on with the spanish team. it's a full night of action in the league cup tonight — i9 ties played in the second round of the league cup tonight. championship side leeds united were behind at league two side salford city, after 3a minutes, matt smith with the goal. but leeds hit back through pascal struijk with only ia minutes remaining. it's currently still 1—1 in injury time. for details of all tonight's games, head to the bbc sport website. virgil van dijk has been charged by the football association for acting in an "improper manner" after being sent off in liverpool's premier league win over newcastle. the liverpool captain was shown a straight red card in the 28th minute at stjames' park on sunday, for fouling newcastle's alexander isak and then appeared to argue with refereejohn brooks while var reviewed the incident. everton have signed portuguese striker beto from italian club udinese for a fee reportedly worth up to £30 million. the 25—year—old has joined on a four—year contract at goodison park and becomes their fifth signing of the summer. the 64" striker scored ten goals for udinese side last season. everton are winless and yet to score a goal in their opening three premier league games. brighton have signed lille midfielder carlos baleba for 27 million euros. the 19—year—old from cameroon, joins on a five—year deal. england white ball captain jos buttler says it was an easy decision to have ben stokes back in the side. stokes retired from the shorter forms of the game injuly 2022. but with the od! world cup in india looming in october, he made himself available again for selection and will play as a specialist batter in the first t20 international against new zealand at the riverside tomorrow. it's great for cricket to have a superstar like ben stokes in a world cup. you want to see those players in this major showpiece event, so it's fantastic that he's made himself available, knowing a player of that calibre is available again is a no—brainer that you want them back on your team. you look at the impact he has on every game he plays, but especially the last couple world cups, you know, he's the man in the middle at the crucial moments. so we are delighted to have him back. and that's all the sport for now. from me and the rest of the team, bye—bye. hello. the weather's been a little hit or miss today with showers in places and sunny spells, too. and that's how it's going to stay for the remainder of the week, perhaps thicker cloud and more persistent rain for a time on thursday. but the good news is that the weekend is looking promising with high pressure building. now, this weather front won't reach us until thursday, we're ahead of it, so i think there'll be big gaps in the clouds. so with low pressure fairly close to scotland tuesday night and into wednesday, that does mean a few showers and further showers are expected to develop on wednesday. so here's the forecast then. through the night, lengthy clear spells, some showers there across eastern parts of scotland, one or two elsewhere, and quite fresh in the countryside early in the morning on wednesday, perhaps 5 celsius. but in most towns and cities, it'll be in the range of, say, 8—12 celsius. so lots of sunshine to start the day. a weather front is approaching, but it's still way to the west of ireland. for most of us, it's a case of clouds bubbling up through the course of the morning, into the afternoon, as they often do, and, again, those well—scattered showers anywhere from scotland through parts of northern england, towards east anglia. modest temperatures, 18 celsius to about 20 celsius expected in london. so that was wednesday, this is thursday. that low pressure only slowly approaching us. and this weather front, at least in the morning, will bring some persistent rain — potentially heavy for a time — to south western parts of england. so this is early on thursday, also affecting wales and then moving to central southern england. it mayjust about clip the midlands too and some rain for a time possible in northern ireland. but late in the day, we think that rain will basically push away towards the southeast of england and then eventually to the near continent. but look at that hull, newcastle, aberdeen on thursday looking mostly sunny. that takes us into friday, and as we head towards the weekend, look at this — an area of high pressure builds south of this jet stream. the jet stream pushes the weather systems way to the north there towards iceland and greenland. and this here is fine settled weather. so with high pressure building this weekend, we are expecting mostly dry, bright, even sunny weather across the uk. look at that, edinburgh and belfast. and temperatures comfortably widely reaching 20 celsius. bye— bye. at ten, the russian mercenary leader, yevgeny prigozhin, is buried, in st petersburg. according to his own press service, the ceremony was private with the media, kept well away. by by all accounts the funeral itself was low—key, the security, far from it. we have a special report from the frontline in ukraine, on the colossal scale of dying, in the war. also on tonight's programme... the head of air traffic services, confirms a technical failure, caused more than a quarter of uk flights to be cancelled yesterday. there's no indication, of a
