The World Tonight

Protestors in Manchester have gathered tonight outside the offices of the Mayor Andy Burnham, after a video was circulated on social media of a man being kicked and stamped on by a police officer at Manchester Airport. We get reaction from the city. Also on the programme: President Biden is pushing for a Gaza ceasefire with Israel's Prime Minister. What does the private sector make of the new GB Energy company intended to turn Britain into a "green energy superpower"? And as the Paris Olympics kicks off tomorrow, there’s been an international outcry at one member of the Dutch team: a convicted rapist.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a landmark address before a joint session of the United States Congress in which he enjoined US politicians to continue supporting his country's war against Hamas in Gaza and its confrontation with Iran. "When we fight Iran, we're fighting the most radical and murderous enemy of the United States of America," Mr Netanyahu said. But protesters outside the Capitol building labelled him a "war criminal" and called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. A whistleblower who released a video of Olympian Charlotte Dujardin, appearing repeatedly to whip a horse she was training, says she did so in order to "save dressage". What impact could the video have on the equestrian sport? And we spoke to the biographer of celebrated Canadian author Alice Munro, who passed away in May. Her daughter now says she was sexually abused by her stepfather, and accused her mother of turning a blind eye.

The head of US Secret Service has resigned following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump - hours after facing an extraordinary grilling in Congress. We have reaction from one of the Republican lawmakers on the committee that questioned her. Also on the programme: Seven Labour MPs have had the whip suspended after voting against the government in favour of scrapping the two-child benefit cap. We have the latest from Westminster. We hear from the husband of an American journalist who's been jailed for six and a half years in Russia for allegedly spreading "false information". And as Team GB says it'll offer athletes military-style “decompression” counselling at the end of the Paris Olympics to help them deal with the “post-Games blues”, we speak to the swimmer Rebecca Adlington about sporting moodswings.

Nancy Pelosi has become the latest leading democrat to back Kamala Harris after Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race. We ask how she could fare with voters against Donald Trump. As the US considers electing its first Black woman as president, we get an insight into what Kamala Harris could bring to the job from the former Mayor of San Francisco who dated her when she was a young prosecutor 30 years ago. Also on the programme: The Conservatives have revealed their plans for electing the party's next leader - who won't be in post until November. We have the latest from Westminster. And, fresh from opening the Proms, the acclaimed pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason on her call for the government to back music in schools.

Is it Cherio, Joe? With speculation in the United States that the president could pull out of the presidential campaign as soon as this weekend, we ask a former aide to Kamala Harris, the vice president, about what a ticket led by her could be like. Also on the programme: As the world grapples with the effects of what's been called the worst IT outage ever - just how fragile is the fabric of our digital world? A government advisor on why he's waging war on "ugly" phone boxes blighting Britain's streets. And we speak to the 27-year-old musician who wrote the video game-inspired composition which premiered at this evening's First Night of the Proms.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky told the BBC's Chris Mason he had met Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer with just one request: to strike inside Russia with British weapons. Zelensky said Ukraine needed to take out launch sites for missiles which are hitting his country's civilian infrastructure. During the exclusive interview after the European Political Community summit at Blenheim Palace, he also said Ukraine would never be pressured by a US administration to surrender to Russia. In the US, President Biden faced renewed pressure to end his bid for re-election. Reports claim Barack Obama has said Biden must rethink whether he can win. And in Bangladesh dozens of people have been killed in clashes between police and students, who are protesting over a law that withholds a quota of civil service jobs for relatives of those who fought in Bangladesh's war of independence from Pakistan.

The King has set out Labour's plans for government at the State Opening of Parliament. But could the new government's promise to take the "brakes off" Britain's economy be jeopardised by its workers' rights plans? Also on the programme: As the prime minister prepares to welcome leaders to Britain for the biggest European summit in years, is a new relationship between the UK and the EU on the horizon? And the pet food for cats and dogs with a difference: the UK has become the first European country to approve the sale of "lab grown" meat. Are humans the next recipients? We speak live to its creator.

Vaughan Gething resigned after 118 days in the role, will his exit give Welsh Labour a chance to reset? We speak to the first Labour politician to hold that job, Alun Michael, about how the party comes back together. Also in the programme: What could be in Labour’s first King’s Speech? And, the Oscar-nominated actress who just got her first leading film role at the age of ninety four.

Two days after an attempt on his life, Donald Trump used the first day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee to announce JD Vance as his running-mate for the 2024 Presidential election. Vance, Senator for Ohio, is a former US Marine and venture capitalist who rose to fame after writing Hillbilly Elegy, a memoir about his family and white working-class background. He initially criticised Trump but has become one of his most ardent supporters. Here in the UK the government is preparing to set out its legislative agenda in the King's Speech on Wednesday. It will include a new law to make a specific criminal offence of spiking. We speak to a campaigner and victim who welcome the move. And a year since it was illegally felled, one artist has set out to preserve the touch of the Sycamore Gap tree.

Thousands of prisoners will be released early from September to ease overcrowding in English and Welsh prisons. The plans were announced by Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, who blamed the previous Conservative government for the situation, calling it a "disgraceful dereliction of duty". We spoke to one prisoner who has just been released. US President Biden is in Detroit, Michigan for a campaign rally, having failed to staunch the tide of Democratic politicians calling for him to end his bid for re-election over concerns about his mental acuity. And we speak to two new MPs on how they've found their first week in Parliament.

At a NATO summit, held in Washington, marking 75 years of the alliance, the focus is firmly on the health of the host - the US president Joe Biden. He's expected to speak at a press conference which is being described as a 'make or break' moment. Despite his insistence that his disastrous performance in that television debate with Donald Trump will not stop him from seeking re-election in November, there are growing voices on his own side who no longer see it that way. We speak to a Democratic pollster who worked on Barack Obama's presidential campaign. Also on the programme: We reflect on the life and work of actor Shelley Duvall, who has died at the age of 75. And we look ahead to the Euros Final on Sunday which will see Spain face England - what are the Spanish thinking about thinking ahead of the match? We speak to a football journalist in the country.

A suspect wanted over a crossbow attack which left three women dead has been captured. A major police manhunt for Kyle Clifford, 26, ended when he was found injured near a cemetery in North London. The victims of the attack in Bushey, Hertfordshire, have been identified as Carol Hunt, 61, Hannah Hunt, 28, and Louise Hunt, 25. They are the wife and two daughters of BBC racing commentator John Hunt. Locals described them as "kind, friendly and gentle" people who "always made time for others". England fans are celebrating as a last-minute goal from substitute Olly Watkins put them through to the final of the Euros. Watkins goal on top of Harry Kane's first-half penalty was enough to seal a 2-1 victory over the Netherlands. They'll face Spain in Berlin on Sunday. Hollywood actor George Clooney has called on President Joe Biden to bow out of the election race. In a New York Times op-ed he wrote: "Top Democrats - Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Nancy Pelosi - and senators, representatives and other candidates who face losing in November need to ask this president to voluntarily step aside."

Democratic party politicians have been holding meetings today after concerns were raised about US president Joe Biden's ability to beat Donald Trump in the race for the White House. We speak to a Democratic congressman who supports the president. Also in the programme: Joe Biden is set to host a NATO summit in Washington DC as pressure grows around his presidential re-election campaign. And social media is awash with concerns about traces of toxic metals in tampons. We speak to a researcher who first raised concerns.

President Emmanuel Macron of France has asked his prime minister, Gabriel Attal, to stay in the role for now, after no political group won a majority in French parliamentary elections. We'll speak to a former government minister and a former head of the Bank of France and reflect on the result. Also in the programme: The UN has condemned a series of Russian missile attacks which killed at least 36 people across Ukraine including some at a children's hospital in Kyiv. And Rishi Sunak has confirmed his interim shadow cabinet, after 12 members of his top team lost their seats in the general election.

The new prime minister Sir Keir Starmer has promised a period of what he called national renewal. We ask how Sir Keir will govern, and who's made it into his top team. Jeremy Corbyn, his predecessor, defied electoral history, holding his seat as independent with nearly 50% of the vote. He joins us live. Also on the World Tonight: The Conservatives have their smallest number of MPs at a general election in modern times. Tory activists join us to discuss what's next for their party. And after just the fourth change in the UK's governing party in 45 years - we reflect on this seismic moment with the distinguished historians Sir Anthony Seldon and Sir Simon Schama.

As Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak make their final pitches ahead of polling day on Thursday, we look back at the election campaign with the two main parties - and hear from voters still weighing up their options. Also on the programme: The White House insists - again - that Joe Biden will not drop out of the US presidential race. But - with persistent and growing criticism of his debate performance - a senior member of Mr Biden's democratic party tells us he may have to. And Hurricane Beryl is closing in on Jamaica, bringing winds of nearly 150mph. The UN's climate chief tells us it's a wake-up call.

On the penultimate day of campaigning, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson took to the stage at a Conservative rally in central London, warning that a Labour government would be "pregnant with horrors". Sir Keir Starmer spent the day in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire and spoke to the BBC's Chris Mason on prison overcrowding, pensioners' tax, and immigration. In the US, the fallout continues from Joe Biden's dismal debate performance last week, as the first Democratic Congressman publicly called for Biden to step aside. After the Supreme Court ruled Donald Trump enjoyed partial immunity for actions taken in office, a New York judge delayed sentencing in his criminal hush money trial. Meanwhile Britain's Supreme Court issued a significant verdict in a dispute between the owners of the Manchester Ship Canal and United Utilities, which will allow the latter to be sued for damages over the dumping of raw sewage in the waterway.

Centrist and left-wing politicians in France are scrambling to strike deals that will reduce the chances of the far-right National Rally winning a majority in the second round of voting of legislative elections on Sunday. Marine Le Pen's party emerged as the largest after the first round of voting. But agreements between parties opposed to her would see candidates step aside in some constituencies to increase the chances of another candidate beating the National Rally. We explain how it works and what the election could mean for the future of Europe. In the US, the Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump does enjoy immunity for some of the actions he took as president. Trump hailed it as a victory, but in her dissent one justice said the ruling made the President "a king above the law". And 32 years since passengers and crew of a British Airways flight were used as human shields by Saddam Hussein, we speak to one of those who is taking legal action against the airline and the British government for allegedly putting them in danger.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage doubled down on claims his party was "set up" after undercover filming for Channel 4 News recorded racist and homophobic remarks apparently made by some of his campaigners. Speaking at a BBC Question Time special, Farage pointed to previous acting experience from one of those covertly recorded to suggest his remarks had been part of an "act". In the US, President Biden sought to regain his footing in the election campaign after a faltering performance in last night's Presidential debate against his predecessor Donald Trump. Speculation continues as to whether he'll face pressure to step aside over concerns about his age and mental acuity. And the doner kebab threatens to cause some diplomatic indigestion as German makers push back on a Turkish attempt to get official EU protection for their version of the dish.

Joe Biden and Donald Trump are about to take part in the first televised debate of this US presidential campaign. What should we expect? We hear live from the Democratic and Republican camps. Also on the programme: Sir Keir Starmer is facing a backlash over comments he made about Bangladeshi asylum seekers. A senior Labour councillor tells us why she's quit the party. And the DJ who's launched the first dedicated South Asian stage at Glastonbury.
