us presidentjoe biden and his rival donald trump have gone head to head he has been criticised for a week and hesitant performance in the first head—to—head tv debate. he struggled as his rivalformer president donald trump made repeated claims that weren't true as the two sparred over their respective terms in office. they even swiped at each other about golf are several key topics were not mentioned at all. let's speak tojohn sudworth, who is in atlanta, where the debate took place. this was a bad night for us politics. yes, in normal circumstances the focus might be on those falsehoods that littered donald trump �*s performance, but in contrast he appeared presidential. this was a terrible night forjoe biden, faltering, at times seeming to be unable to complete his train of thought, and an event that was asked for by the democrats that had the purpose of trying to allay concerns about his age and mental competence has only amplified them and it has pushed those long simmering worries about whether he is the right man to head into this election and just four months' time into the wide open. trump, trump, trump... for the first time in debate history, a former president arriving to debate a current president. cheering. that current president aiming to be the oldest incumbent of the white house in us history. joe biden. four years ago, when these two men met, it ended up in a slanging match. donald trump. but even new rules didn't stop the insults from flying. the only reason i'm here is he's so bad as a president that i'm going to make america great again. my son was not a loser. he was not a sucker. you're the sucker. you're the loser. both men accused the other of trashing the economy, clashing over tax cuts and inflation. he's the only president other than herbert hoover who's lost morejobs than he had when he began. since herbert hoover. the onlyjobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounce back jobs. the bounce back from the covid. at times, joe biden sounded hoarse and difficult to understand. his aides said he had a cold, but there have been persistent concerns about his concentration and stamina, and this did not dispel those worries. excuse me with, um, dealing with everything we have to do with, uh... look, if... we finally beat medicare. thank you, president biden. abortion and immigration were hotly contested, with donald trump delivering perhaps his strongest line of the night. we are living right now in a rat's nest. they're killing our people in new york, in california, in every state in the union, because we don't have borders anymore. every state is now a border. when both men were asked about their age — joe biden is 81, donald trump 78 — they ended up in a bizarre argument about golf. i told you before, i'm happy to play golf if you carry your own bag. think you can do it? that's the biggest lie, that he's a six handicap of all. i was an eight handicap. yeah, eight. but you know how many i've... seen your swing. i know your swing. there was little in this debate to change the minds of the committed. both men made well—worn attacks on one another. both men hurled well—worn insults at one another. what will really count is how this lands with the small number of undecided voters in those key swing states that will decide november's election. gary o'donoghue, at the presidential debate in atlanta, for bbc news. this is how the us has been waking up and reacting to the debate. president biden faces a backlash from inside his own party after a very shaky debate performance. same very shaky debate performance. some house democrats _ very shaky debate performance. some house democrats talking _ very shaky debate performance. some house democrats talking about him having _ house democrats talking about him having to _ house democrats talking about him having to step down. | house democrats talking about him having to step down.— having to step down. i don't know what he said _ having to step down. i don't know what he said at _ having to step down. i don't know what he said at the _ having to step down. i don't know what he said at the end _ having to step down. i don't know what he said at the end of -

"it's fascism", says alain montiel. "you have to call a spade a spade, and they're fascists." but matisse insists the national rally has changed, and that its core message restricting immigration is timely and popular. "our country is having an identity crisis", matisse says. "people come here and don't learn our language. "they don't assimilate." that message, amplified by the media, is cutting through, even in moderate, white, rural brittany. "we have a history, a culture," says armand, a retired fireman. "and you fear you're losing it?" i ask. "i'm worried", he says. along the coast in the big city of lorient basketball practice in a poor and diverse neighbourhood. the coach here, jeremy robert, says new immigrants are highly motivated to integrate and to succeed. but his charity is so worried about the upcoming elections that it's taken an extraordinary step. "we never tell people who to vote for", says maxime. "but this time we're saying, �*don't vote for the national rally because it's dangerous'". watching the world go by at a nearby cafe, said, a pensioner originally from algeria. "national rally is dangerous", he agrees. "my wife wears the veil but they want to ban "it, so she's afraid. "if they get into power it will be catastrophic." in lorient, a port famous for its old world war ii submarine base, the left and centre may yet unite to see off the hard right in these elections. but there is no guarantee of that. these are anxious times in france. president macron has even warned of civil war. that feels overblown. and yet the consensus here that has always kept the populist far right well away from serious power is suddenly looking very shaky. and so france braces for a nervewracking summer. andrew harding, bbc news, brittany. the uk economy grew more than expected in the

thomas in a hatch in the first round of wimbledon if he is fit enough to play. the two—time wimbledon champion is waiting to make the call after an operation on his back last week. the tournament starts on monday and is expected to be his final championships. laura scott is at wimbledon for us. how have the brits fared in the tour? i at wimbledon for us. how have the brits fared in the tour?—

he is one of the biggest talking points ahead of the championships because we do not yet know whether he will play or not because of the back surgery. he's been drawn against thomas match, the world number 38 and the czech republic and that will bring back painful memories for him because it was against thomas earlier this year in miami when he ruptured ankle ligaments but murray has been given another day to recover because he's been drawn in the opposite half of the draw to the champion callas alcaraz so it means he would not play until tuesday so that's good news for him. when it comes to the brits three of them have been drawn against seeded players in the toughest of those on paper is emma raducanu drawn against the 22nd seat ekaterina alexandrova. another notable name in the draw is a seven time champion novak djokovic he had knee surgery three weeks ago but he has taken his place in the draw. over the course of the championships 50,000 of these will be used but tennis balls could look very different in the future i have been finding out. cheering. new balls, please. it's a phrase that will be heard hundreds of times over the next fortnight — "new balls, please". but in a laboratory a couple of miles away from wimbledon, scientists are taking it seriously. prompted by concerns about the difficulty recycling existing balls, the international tennis federation has come up with an idea for a ball without a fabric coating. and the bbc has been given an exclusive first look. this is a prototype. this would be a shell that could potentially fit over the top of the rubber core, but easier to attach and detach, easier to reuse. so this could be melted down, re—fabricated, so potentially that could be done over and over again and make orfacilitate recycling or reuse of this type of ball. the itf has been looking at this sort of design for the past few months. helped by robots and a wind tunnel, they will now test its viability to work out how it compares to a conventional ball in terms of emissions, performance and cost. this is one possibility. we are not going to become a ball manufacturer. we don't intend to start producing tennis balls. we are trying to stimulate some innovation within the industry. if this is to replace this and become the tennis ball of the future, there are still lots of hoops to jump through. but it demonstrates the work that under way to try to make the sport more sustainable and an acceptance that that could require some radical steps. it would not be the first time. tennis balls used to be black or white — only becoming yellow in the �*70s to help tv viewers. wimbledon initially held firm, but eventually started using the yellow ball in 1986. so changing the design of the ball might have people in a spin, but it's happened before. the new ball designs will be presented to manufacturers in the nearfuture, along with exploring changing balls less frequently during matches and prolonging the lifespan of balls by re—pressurising them. as the stars of tennis and those in charge of it become increasingly environmentally conscious, there's a rallying call for the sport to challenge what's possible. laura scott,

raising fresh concerns among voters about his fitness for office. after days of festival—goers arriving at glastonbury, peformances on the main stages have now kicked off, ahead of tonight's headliner dua lipa. we'll have a full forecast in the next half hour, but it's time now for a quick look at the weather. here's ben. thank you. we have lost the heat that some of us had earlier this week but there is still a fair amount of dry weather and the forecast for this weekend. a little bit of rain at times and some spells of sunshine. today was soggy in the north of scotland and that rain pulling northwards but we still have showers there across the north of the uk. there are amounts of cloud further south but more in the way of sunshine developing at the end of the afternoon with highs of 22 degrees. the warmest weather of the weekend likely tomorrow in the south—east of england, elsewhere there is a fair amount of cloud, largely dry and i will have all the details later. thank you so much. learner drivers in the uk are now facing average wait times of almost 18 weeks to get a practical driving test, despite measures to clear a backlog built up during the pandemic, according to new data. ben boulos has been looking at the details. the motoring organisation the aa says figures it obtained have revealed how bad the delays have become undead accuse the driver and vehicle standards agency which runs the tests of not doing enough to keep down waiting times. a freedom of information request revealed at the end of last month the average waiting time for a car driving test was almost 18 weeks, more than four months. longerthan was almost 18 weeks, more than four months. longer than at the start of the year, in february it was just under 15 weeks since then the waiting time has increased by 20% and the problem is widespread. 93% of test centres in the uk now have an average waiting time that is higher than it was before the pandemic when the average was just five weeks. all of this adds up to agonising waits for learner drivers. do you remember what we are covering todav? _ do you remember what we are covering today? it— do you remember what we are covering toda ? ,

wimbledon post met men's single stroke, but it is yet to be decided if he will play. emma raducanu returns to the all england club. like father, like son, brawley james joins his dad in the nba as an la laker and the two could make history next season. the draw for the 2024 wimbledon singles has been made with two—time champion andy murray drawn to face czech tomas machac in round one, if he is fit to play. murray, 37, had an operation on a back cyst at the weekend and says he will leave it until the last minute to decide whether he can compete on tuesday in what will likely be his final tournament at the all england club. in their most recent encounter, murray lost to machac in three sets at the miami open. elsewhere, jack draper is seeded for the first time. he could face cameron norrie in the second round if he can overcome the argentinian player. katie boulter could meet compatriot harriet dart in the second round. meanwhile, novak djokovic, he also has some injury concerns. we can bring in our senior new sports correspondent, who has been at the wimbledon draw. let's talk about andy murray. his hopes of being involved in the singles very much still in the balance here. exactly. he said yesterday that he is recovering well from their back surgery last weekend and he is in rehab 24—7, but he is in a race against time. the draw has been kind to him because he has drawn on the other side of the draw to last year's champion, meaning that he wouldn't get under way until tuesday, so he does have another day to recover. when we talk about his draw, the czech player is the world number 38, draw, the czech player is the world number38, but draw, the czech player is the world number 38, but there are those painful memories of the match in miami when andy murray suffered ruptured to his ankle ligaments. we just have to wait and see. he said he will leave it until the very last minute and he has until he walks onto the court to decide. he thinks he has that right given all he has done for tennis. he also has a wild to compete in the doubles with his brother, jamie. that could start later next week. all eyes are on his recovery after the back surgery last weekend. let's have a look at the woman's draw. emma raducanu missed wimbledon last year through injury. as we sat at the top of the programme, it is not an easy opener for her, is it? no, on paper she has the toughest of the draws for the british players. she is drawn against the 22nd seed. emma raducanu has been in good form recently on the grass, she recently had herfirst recently on the grass, she recently had her first ever top ten win. she said she is feeling like something of a fresh start, playing with more freedom. a lot of people will be excited to see her back here at wimbledon, but not an easy draw. thank you very much. defender ezri konsa says the families and friends of england players were hit by beer cups thrown "from all angles" after their goalless draw with slovenia. a couple of plastic cups were aimed in the direction of boss gareth southgate as he applauded them from the pitch after the euro 2024 group c stalemate on tuesday. england are stepping up their preparations for their round of 16 match against slovakia and have been hosted by the return of phil foden, who left the camp to attend the birth of his third child. 0ur senior football news reporter, alex howell, is in erfurt, where the team is based. the england team continued their preparations for the round of 16 match against slovakia on sunday and were back in training today. yesterday not all of the players were on the pitch, 23 of them are out. declan rice and kieran trippier were in the change in their individual programmes and phil foden was back in england. we couldn't watch any part of the training session today, but we understand the phil foden was due to be back on the pitch. behind me in the castle where england are doing their mania —— media, we will hear from anthony gordon, who played his first minutes in a major tournament in that draw against slovenia. he was a talking point yesterday as he fell off a bike at the england training camp as they did a recovery session, but hopefully he will give us an insight as to what it is like in the camp as they prepare for the big match on sunday. the united states soccer federation condemned the online racist abuse suffered by several of its players following a 2—1 defeat by panama at the copa america. former arsenal striker folarin balogun, crystal palace defender chris richards and juventus pair timothy weah and weston mckennie were all targeted online after the hosts lost the group c match in atlanta. juventus' timothy weah was sent off in the 18th minute after his yellow card was upgarded to a red from a var check for punching panama's roderick miller in the head in an off—the—ball incident. but it was the us who took the lead with this strike from monaco's folarin balogun, his fifth goal in 1a appearances for the country. the lead didn't last long, however, when panama scored just four minutes later and then this winning goal from jose fajardo nelson to take the game 2—1. in a statement, the us soccer federation said: "there is absolutely no place in the game for such hateful and discriminatory behaviour. these actions are not only unacceptable but also contrary to the values of respect and inclusivity that we uphold as an organisation." uruguay took an impressive step towards the copa america knockout stage as liverpool forward darwin nunez starred in a 5—0 win against bolivia. nunez has scored for the seventh consecutive match for his country. max verstappen once again as the man to beat after he topped the time sheets in first practice at the austrian grand prix. there was a moment of alarm for the three—time world champion when his car stopped on the track midway through the session, but he did recover to set the fastest time ahead of mclaren's 0scar psg. lewis hamilton was the highest placed british driver, finishing in fifth. highest placed british driver, finishing infifth. spin highest placed british driver, finishing in fifth. spin qualifying gets under way and just under two hours. finally, basketball could see some history next season after the la lakers drafted bronnyjames, whojoins his dad, the great lebronjames, in los angeles. should the two take to an nba court next season, either at the lakers or elsewhere, it will be the first time in the league's history that a father and son will have played simultaneously. seems that lebronjames could take right even more history in the sport. in the history of the nba there has never been a father and the son that have shared an nba basketball court. that feels like something that could be magical. we know and have to respect that lebrun has a decision about his opt out. cctv has captured the moment a sinkhole opened up on a football pitch in the us state of illinois. the hole, which swallowed a pole, benches and artificial turf, was caused by subsidence from nearby mining. it measures at least 100 feet wide and up to 50 feet deep. no—one was injured. that is all from us for now. for more sports news head to the bbc sport website and app. goodbye for the moment. this summer marks a0 years since york minster was engulfed by fire, devastating a part of the building that dated back to the 13th century. now, an exhibition will trace the memories of those who fought the blaze — and restored the cathedral to its former glory. alison freeman has been to meet some of them. it was one of the worst cathedral fires of modern times. in the early hours ofjuly the 9th, 1984, a lightning strike on york minster started a fire which tore through the south transept. among those fighting the fire that night wasjohn mckenzie. we got to the minster about 2:37 in the morning, and the turntable ladder was getting up to the rose window from the outside, but the ladder couldn't get really high enough to apply water from the top. sojohn and his colleagues used a series of ladders to gain access to the inner vault of the roof of the burning building to tackle the blaze from the inside. you must have been acutely aware, when you were up there, of the significance of this fire. yes. at one point we thought we might actually lose this fire, and we had a really petrifying sense of almost personal loss. we felt we can't let it go. and that's one of the reasons why we stayed there and continued to do what we were doing. as the building burned, those who lived and worked at york minster salvaged as much as they could. stonemasonjohn david was there. we were taking anything out of the minster which we could carry. small bits of furniture, altar furniture. you'd see a sort of canon struggling with a carpet, which came from the front of an altar or something like that, and you'd just give a hand. sometimes you'd say, "shall we take this? "shall we take that? " we were just all helping each other. eventually, i went round to the west front and just stood outside and saw the roof collapse, which was shocking but appalling, but it evidently saved the rest of the building. both men have now told theirfascinating memories of that night to the team who've created an exhibition about the fire that starts in the minster this weekend. there's shock, there's horror, there's huge emotion. - there's people that came to see it the next day and just sobbed - because it... it's, you know, it's- such a symbol of york. and there's just a great little note about how the dean's cat, - amidst all the chaos, curled up and had a little sleep on one i of the altar cloths. but there's also this overriding sense of, j we know we can put it back together again. i the subsequent renovation took four years and £2.25 million, but it also had a bit of help along the way. we've been asked if blue peter will design six of the new oak bosses that will decorate the vaulting of the south transept roof. more than 30,000 children and young people entered the blue peter competition, and the six lucky winners got to see them being made and installed. i don't like to look. one of those designs is being brought to life yet again, as a badge to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the fire. those that were there on the night, and then carried out the restoration, know they played a key part in the minster�*s history. you must be proud to have been involved in how much was saved. oh, yeah. i don't suppose the right word. i'm relieved that a lot was saved. there was 137 of us on thatjob. of course it was all 137 of us who put the fire out. alison freeman, bbc news, york. elvis presley's blue suede shoes are expected to fetch up to £120,000 at auction today. the american singer wore them on and off stage in the 19505, but gave them away the night before he joined the us army. 0ur midlands correspondent, navteonhal, has more. # one for the money. # two for the show. # three to get ready. # now, go go, go! # but don't you # step on my blue suede shoes.# if elvis was the king of rock and roll, then his blue suede shoes were his crown. they're arguably the most famous footwear in popular culture. he first acquired them after performing blue suede shoes by carl perkins on his debut album in 1956. the shoes themselves, you know, to look at them, they are just a normal pair of 19505 blue suede shoes. but, obviously, it's the provenance and the history. you know, we know that elvis presley wore these on those really important moments in 1956 on the steve allen show. elvis gave the size 10.5 shoes to a friend after he was called up to join the american army in 1958. they're expected to be sold for between £100,000 and £120,000 when they go under the hammer. last year, we sold a fur coat that was owned by elvis presley for over £120,000, sold a pair of his sunglasses for £100,000. so, naturally, when this client decided to sell these objects, he picked up the phone and gave us a call. # well, you can do anything. # but lay off my blue suede shoes.# elvis may have told us to lay off his blue suede shoes, but later today, one lucky person will lay their hands on a piece of rock and roll history. navteonhal, bbc news. # do anything but lay off my blue suede shoes.# for the first time, two ahead of the three headline acts this year will be women. coldplay and dua lipa are among those performing. over 200,000 people are expected at the festival this weekend and our entertainment correspondent is amongst them. glastonbury! the last time dua lipa played glastonbury in 2017, it was 3:45pm in the afternoon and her breakthrough hit, new rules, hadn't even been released. tonight, she headlines the pyramid stage and it's clearjust how much it means to her. it's something i've been actively working towards, hoping that one day i'll get the opportunity to do it and it's by far the biggest thing, the biggest moment of my career. glastonbury is like my barometer when i'm in the studio, that i go, how is this going to sound at glastonbury? and if it passes that test then it's going on the album. her set will be history making, because on sunday the same slot will be filled by the us r&b superstar sza. meaning, for the first time since the festival began in 1970, two of the three headliners are female. it's really important, i feel so lucky to be a part of that shift and that change, and i think it's so important to have more female headliners in all festivals. i think, yeah, i think we've got to keep applying the pressure and see change happen. and it's already motivating other artists, including pyramid stage performer olivia dean. i think it's so important to see diversity, notjust in gender but all the different races, of people on the line—up. i think it's really important for people to see themselves on the stage and that then inspires the next generation of people to feel like they can do it, like, even when you just said that to me, iwas, like, well, i can headline, you know? i can do that. if two women can do it this year, i can do it. and as for... dua lipa! ..her fans are already in place. it'sjust, like, pure pop and i love that, like, she doesn't pretend to be, like, grandiose or anything like that, she just wants to have a fun time. # dance the night away #. is she going to play the barbie song? because she's not been doing that in concert. i hope she is, i'm ready. she could bring out ryan gosling so we can all sing, i'm just ken. # dance away #. the music started here at 12 noon with squeeze, a ban celebrating their 50th birthday, favourites of glastonbury founder michael eavis. glenn tilbrook told us he was at glastonbury as a child and fell asleep during david bowie. on stage at the moment, as we saw in the report, olivia dean with her brand of pop, she has amassed a huge crowd. no pay pop act has ever played the pyramid stage, 17 will be on there, last year only taylor swift sold more albums in the world than them. part of a very eclectic line—up this afternoon which includes lulu over at the avalon stage, sugar babes are also on show but tonight it's about dua lipa and what surprise guest she will have stopped that there is a stage full of cairn at any point the audience will be very happy. thank you so much and enjoy it. let's get your weatherforecast. here is ben rich. thank you. it's clearly a glastonbury right now but we may see sunshine developing this afternoon. the weekend not looking too bad, not too much mud around, largely dry withjust some spots too much mud around, largely dry with just some spots of rain on sunday morning. the picture is similarfor most of sunday morning. the picture is similar for most of us this weekend, their amount of dry weather around but it was not a dry start in the north of scotland today. a lot of cloud and outbreaks of rain and this panel of cloud on the satellite. that rain moving north through the northern isles, windy in the north of the uk and across scotland and northern ireland and northern england some showers to take us through the afternoon. some showers and wales but generally quite breezy, more spells of sunshine and 22 degrees in the south—east. cooler than that further north and west, not the heat we had earlier this week. the night under clear skies that will turn a little bit chilly but this zone of cloud will roll in from the west into southern counties of northern ireland and parts of northern england and wales by the end of the night, lifting temperatures. 12 degrees in liverpool as we start saturday morning. the sun of cloud and patchy rain courtesy of this frontal system has not got a lot of energy and this will be quite a weak feature so it will be quite a weak feature so it will bring a sun of cloud across parts of wales, northern england and there will be some rain on and off but it will be quite light and patchy. northern ireland and sunderland and central scotland will have some splits and spots of rain, the best of the sunshine and warmth tomorrow in the south and especially the south—east of england. warmer than today, 25 degrees in london, cooler further north and west. the second half of the weekend, we see this area of high pressure dry to exert an influence with the centre a long way away but there will be cloud toppling around it. barely cloudy on sunday. could be showers in southern england and the channel islands, some showers elsewhere but feeling relatively cool, 14—21 . next week? we see a run of westerly winds and frontal systems so it means outbreaks of rain however this big area of high pressure in the atlanta continues to exert some influence so it may be across the south of the uk there is not that much rain but further north some wet weather at times and no sign of a return to anything warmer. thank you so much. some breaking news about the faster payments system, that has not been fixed. you can find out more about that on bbc news but for now, enjoy your afternoon. live from london. this is bbc news. joe biden faces calls to reconsider running for the white house — after a stumbling performance in the first us election debate — with donald trump. covid, dealing with everything we have... look, if we finally beat medicare... meanwhile, in the general election campaign — a reform uk worker is caught on camera making racist remarks about rishi sunak. nigel farage distances himself from the comments — the prime minister leads the condemnation. it makes me angry, i think he has some questions to answer, don't repeat those words slightly, i do so deliberately because this is too important not to call out, clearly, for what it is. i’m important not to call out, clearly, for what it is.— for what it is. i'm an ashford in kent looking — for what it is. i'm an ashford in kent looking at _ for what it is. i'm an ashford in kent looking at the _ for what it is. i'm an ashford in kent looking at the health - for what it is. i'm an ashford in kent looking at the health care| kent looking at the health care system in england, the nhs is consistently one of the most important issues for doctors, often speaking to health care experts, doc spirits, patients. i speaking to health care experts, doc spirits, patients. lam rajini vaidyanathan. and — glastonbury gets into full swing — with the first of its two female headlines, dua lipa, set for the pyramid stage this evening.
