Lets speak to our North America Correspondent tom bateman, whos in florida, outside the Golf Club where this incident took place. Tell us what happened earlier but the court case. Just tell us what happened earlier but the court case. But the court case. Just over an hour but the court case. Just over an hour or but the court case. Just over an hour or so but the court case. Just over an hour or so ago, but the court case. Just over an hour or so ago, we but the court case. Just over an hour or so ago, we had. But the court case. Just over an hour or so ago, we had a| an hour or so ago, we had a little more than a ten minute court hearing, very short, where Ryan Routh was led in and a bluejailjumpsuit, he was handcuffed and brought to sit next to his defence attorney. There were a few minutes where we were able to observe him before thejudge came we were able to observe him before the judge came into the court he sat smiling, repeatedly laughing at times during the conversation with her we couldnt hear that, but it would seem to be she was just trying to explain to him how the proceedings would work. When the judge came how the proceedings would work. When thejudge came in, he was sworn in, Ryan Routh was sworn in, and spoke to confirm his name, and also, as his rights were read to him, he repeatedly said, yes, your honour. Then there was a series of exchanges where the judge asked him about his financial situation to see if he qualified for public defence. Now notably in that, he said he had Zero Funds as to whether he could afford an attorney, and he said he had two trucks in Hawaii Worth 1000 each. He also said he had a dependent 25 year old son that occasionally needed help from him. And then the charges were read to Ryan Routh now hes charged with two federal offences, the first of which was possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, namely a convicted felon so we had confirmation there that hes had previous convictions and secondly, possession of a firearm within obliterated serial number. There was no plea entered, this was purely about an initial hearing, and thejudge then set about an initial hearing, and the judge then set a date for a pretrial Detention Hearing that will take place on monday of next week, then Ryan Routh was led away once again back into the tension. So a very short hearing but at the same time, we are getting a few more details coming out as the court documents are being unsealed. And also notably, the other Thing Weve had confirmed in the last hour or so is from the County Sheriff who has said that no shots were fired by the gunman In The Woods because remember, the account we had was that the secret Service Agents who are doing an advanced sweep ahead of Mr Trump on the Golf Course had fired towards the Barrel Of A Gun that they said was poking out of the bushes. There was always a question about whether or not there had been an exchange of fire or whether shots had been fired towards the agents or Donald Trump the agents or Donald Trump the sheriff saying that their investigation shows that no shots were fired by the gunmen. Tom, thanks for much indeed. Theres much more analysis on what happened in florida, more on the bbc sounds, im aircast podcast, and also on the website. Just a couple more lines we are getting from the briefing, its being reported by reuters that the suspect was previously convicted of possession of a weapon of Mass Death and destruction, also the suspect was driving a Ford Truck that was reported stolen when he was stopped, and Phone Data shows he was near trumps Golf Course from well in advance from 1 59am at that location. But more lines coming out all the time. Also just to let you know that Donald Trump has spoken to Fox News digital earlier today, and he has blamed this attack on the rhetoric of his rivals, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, saying the Gun Man acted on highly inflammatory language of the democrats, saying they had cast him as a threat to democracy. Well be bringing you more on that in the coming minutes. One other story from the us a Pipeline Fire is the maker has broken out in la porte, texas you can see the pictures there. The social Media Post urged nearby evacuations, you see the massive flames there, near streets and businesses. Not immediately clear who owns the pipeline or what exactly is going on, but you can see the damage there. We will bring you more on that again when we can.

The 63 year old will also have to complete a Sex Offenders programme. Edwardss barrister said his client was profoundly sorry. The Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, says he is Shocked And Apalled by the case. Helena wilkinson reports. This is Huw Edwards Custody image taken after his arrest, released moments after he was sentenced a Far Cry from the polished and highly respected Bbc Newsreader he once was. Earlier, he arrived at court to face his sentence. No answer, as he went in to questions about whether he wanted to apologise for his crimes. In court, though, through his lawyer, he did say sorry for what he said were truly repugnant images and the hurt done. He listened as the prosecutor laid out the distressing details. Huw edwards was sent hundreds of images by another Man 41 of them were indecent images of children. On one occasion, the man asked if Huw Edwards wanted more images of young people he replied, go on. Another time he said, amazing. Tonight at 10pm, thousands of police officers. Up until last year, Huw Edwards was the most high profile newsreader. He presented the 10pm news, as well as election and royal coverage. Bbc television is broadcasting this special programme, reporting the death of Her Majesty the queen. Huw edwards was suspended from the bbc lastjuly. The sun had published a story about sordid images being bought by an unnamed Tv Presenter from a young person. He was later named as that presenter. Huw edwards was then arrested over the possession of other images unrelated to the original allegations. In april, he resigned from the bbc. Two months later, he was charged with making indecent images of children. Then injuly, Huw Edwards appeared in court and pleaded guilty. Good evening. The victims of Huw Edwards crimes were children. Behind every image is a vulnerable child that has been violated, that has been subject to abuse. And the continuing sort of distribution of those images only goes to service that demand. Huw edwards has been sentenced to six months in prison, suspended for two years. Its a huge fall from grace for a man who was described by the Chief Magistrate as perhaps the most recognised newsreader in the uk.

The bbc said it was appalled by his crimes and that he had betrayed notjust the corporation, but audiences who put their trust in him. Helena wilkinson, Bbc News. Our Culture Reporter Noor nanji is with me. What else came out in court . As we What Else came out in court . Is we were hearing in helenas report, Huw Edwards had already pleaded guilty injuly to those three counts of making indecent images of children. So today in court, it was the sentencing and we did get some further details about what had happened. So we heard Huw Edwards had paid a convicted Sex Offender called Alex Williams hundreds of pounds for gifts and presents in exchange for these images, which were sent to him on whatsapps. And while most of the images were of adult men, a significant proportion of them were of women. Now we also heard that when williams asked edwards if he wanted more and more images of young people, Huw Edwards replied, go on, and another time he said, amazing. Huw edwardss lawyer said he was profoundly sorry for what he had done, and he also said he recognised the repugnant nature of those images but as we heard today in the report there, hes now been sentenced, given a six month jail sentence, suspended for two years so that basically means he avoids prison unless he offends again during that time.

The british Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, and his italian counterpart, Giorgia Meloni, have agreed to intensify efforts to combat Human Trafficking, at a meeting in rome. The two leaders met to discuss why italy has seen a reduction in migrants crossing the mediterranean. Both politicians have made tackling migration a top priority. Italys strategy includes working with Transit Countries in north africa, and sending Asylum Seekers to albania to have their Asylum Claims assessed. But some of Ms Melonis policies have been sharply criticised by Human Rights Groups. Ms meloni dismissed suggestions that sending migrants to albania was a breach of their Human Rights. Translation | dont know| what Human Rights violations youre referring to, frankly speaking, because i have explained at length that the jurisdiction of these sectors in albania, its italian and European Jurisdictions. So either you believe that European Jurisdiction violates the Human Rights of migrants or well, i dont know this accusation, i think its completely groundless. What we have done with albania means that these migrants will enjoy exactly the same rights and
