Off a four day plenum top off a four day plenum with top communist party officials gathered to discover the economy. Hello and welcome to business today. I m steve lai. We began in the us where presidentjoe biden hasjust presidentjoe biden has just wrapped presidentjoe biden hasjust wrapped up a national address. Following the week and assassination attempt on donald trump at a rally. The former president suffered a slight wound to his ear and already in milwaukee for the republican national convention which kicks off monday. Biden said the trump shooting calls for everyone to take a step back and coal the temperature in politics. He called on americans to stand together. I m beginning, ourfun is understood the power of passion so the credit democracy. They created balance a chance to prevail over brute force, that the america we must be. American democracy where we remain in good faith. American democracy with the will of law respected. American democracy were decency, dignity, fairpl
These things usually don t go one and then another it seems to me that the sympathy vote is important. And afterall it is coming on top of a competence vote. Whether you agree with it or don t agree with it is neither here or there. The american public, including the democrats, were already having doubts about the suitability and cognitive capability of biden to actually run for office. We do have four years of experience over donald trump in office so if we take that as a cue to look ahead as to what four more years of trump policies would mean, help us understand that better. It s really not good. I mean, the first the first reaction is the super rich, who are the people at edge of the markets, who say, yippe, i ll pay less taxes and our companies will be less regulated.

Captain harry kane off, for the semifinal hero, ollie watkins. The competition s youngest scorer, yamal, teenager, going close to extending the lead. But resilience has been a theme of england s campaign and so it proved once again. Oh, yes! ice cold precision from palmer. Substitute cole palmer has made an impact from the bench throughout the tournament. Never quite like this. But spain are the euros top scorers and with extra time looming, oyarzabal broke english hearts. And not long left for england to do anything about this one. Was another opportunity about to slip away? a desperate england then came agonizingly close to a last ditch equalizer. Headed off the line and it is wide. Declan rice and marc guehi with close range chances but spain survived. England were out of time. This, an all too fami
It is worth mentioning security was going to be tight at the rnc. This has been designated a special security event and officials have said there is no real operational changes happening here. It is always. Like i said, a very secured event. We do understand the secret service will ban guns in federal spaces within the convention. Inaudible an open carry state, which allows people to carry guns with them, but there is a soft perimeter outside the federal jurisdiction where they cannot really control that. Earlier our team went down to a park which is not so far from the convention centre. There were probably a few dozen donald trump supporters from different parts of the us and on the grass, there was this huge post of donald trump and a board set “p of donald trump and a board set up which said, get well soon, and lots of people coming to sign it.
