Our correspondent, gary odonoghue, was there at the time of the attack, and has Gone back to the Swing State to speak to people affected that day. They include the widow of a former Volunteer Firefighter who was killed by a bullet meant for mr trump. If you want to really see something. Its a moment that will Go down in history.

Give me a bleep Hard Line . As they look for other possible gunmen. This building, he was on top of this building meanwhile, those closest to the stage are watching Donald Trump on the floor. This video, taken just moments later. While Donald Trump survived, Corey Comperatore did not. The former Volunteer Fire Chief losing his life as he protected his wife and daughters. His widow, helen, told me how theyd been childhood sweethearts. The day before he was killed, my youngest daughter pulled out his senior photo that he had given to me. And on the back he had written that i was his best. Thanked me for being his best friend. And he actually teared up and looked at me and said, thank you for being my best friend. So it was just kind of weird that we had that moment, you know, the day before. Throughout the rally, corey had joked how he believed the former president would get him up on stage. Less than a week later, Coreys Jacket was displayed on stage as Donald Trump accepted the republican nomination. Ijust cried because, you know, i said he Got his moment on stage with trump. So, you know, it was kind of like a nice moment, but it was a sad moment at the same time.

What . You know, like they didnt know what was Going on. I just outside the rally, me and my team were talking to trump supporters about what theyd seen when one man told us an extraordinary story. His words would reverberate around the world. Three months later, he has no regrets. I feel proud of it. I everything that i told you that| night has proven out to be true from everything thats come out since then. Theres still no clear answer to the question why Thomas Crooks attempted to assassinate Donald Trump. But we do now have a much clearer idea about the series of Security Blunders that allowed him to do so. He was able to fly a drone over the site undetected. Police saw him using a rangefinder tojudge the distance to the stage, yet still he was able to climb onto a Roof And Fire eight shots. Moments after that, crooks was dead, a single shot to the head from a Secret Service sniper. Multiple inquiries are trying to establish who was to blame, with much of the focus now on the actions of the Secret Service. If youre the Secret Service, if youre homeland security, if youre the most elite of the elite, how could you have failed in almost every single thing that needed to be covered . Do you feel angry about losing him . Yeah, very. Im angry because, uh, there were a lot of mistakes made that day. And it didnt have to happen. It didnt have to happen. There are mixed feelings about Donald Trumps return to butler. Some parents deciding to keep their children away. But in this staunchly pro trump county, many believe they owe it to the former president to welcome him back. Gary odonoghue, bbc news, butler, pennsylvania. Next week , the Government will unveil a major package of reforms to Uk Workers rights next week. Our political correspondent, harry farley, explained to me what this is likely to mean in practice. One of the changes we do know will be announced this week will be reforms to sick pay, so workers will be entitled to receive it from Day One in a job and from the first day that that theyre unwell, rather than the fourth. For those earning below the threshold of £123 a week, the rules will be changed, so that they can claim sick pay, but they will receive a lower rate. Before the election, remember, labour also promised to give workers other rights from Day One in a job, like maternity pay, rather than having to wait for six months, and protections against unfair dismissals, instead of waiting until the end of a probation period. And they also announced plans to ban what Labour Calls exploitative zero hour contracts, and to end fire and rehire practices. The precise details of those reforms and how they will be implemented have been subject to quite extensive neGotiations between unions and businesses. And many of the changes and many of the changes that we are expecting to be and is on thursday will be subject to consultations, some will not be in the first draft of the bill, but will be passed later by ministers and what is known as statutory instruments, rather than through parliament directly.

But as the crisis in The Middle East deepens, were taking a look back at the events of the past few weeks and asking how we Got to this point and what the violence means for the future of the region. Bbc arabic� s beirut correspondent, carine torbey, has this special report. Ballistic missiles rained down on israel an unprecedented response by iran after weeks of israeli escalation. Pushing the region to a dangerous new precipice. This is the story of how the past few weeks brought The Middle East to a dangerous new moment. Translation the Status Quo cannot continue. This requires a change in the Balance Of Power on our northern border. Hezbollah launched the first attack against israeli positions last year, on october 8, in support of gaza. Israel retaliated. A year on from those exchanges of fire, the conflict has reached a new level. September 17 saw a new escalation begin. Pagers and Walkie Talkies used by hezbollah operatives exploded simultaneous attacks in supermarkets, on the streets, in cars and in homes across lebanon. Translation the enemy has crossed all red lines. Israel says its intent on eliminating the threat of hezbollah. Over 1000 have been killed and many more injured, and almost A Million displaced since israel launched a huge wave of devastating Air Strikes on lebanon. Translation my siblings and their children were all killed here. And then. In the last hour, israel has claimed to have killed the leader of hezbollah, hassan nasrallah, in an overnight strike. How did rapid escalation change the face of lebanon and set the region on a dangerous new course . Over the last year, Israel And Hezbollah have been engaged in a relatively low Level Conflict following the Hamas Attack on israel. They exchanged fire across the border. But the Speed And Scale of what is happening now has been shocking and unprecedented. It was an attack, like something from a tale of espionage. Its the middle of september, and people are Going about their everyday lives when. Pagers belonging to Hezbollah Members explode across lebanon in a coordinated and deadly attack. Hezbollah is proscribed as a Terrorist Organisation by many western Governments. However, within lebanon, hezbollah has a significant role in the Countrys Parliament and Government. The organisation had abandoned mobile Phones Forfear of being tracked. This attack showed those precautions had not been successful. The pagers were turned into weapons. Hezbollah members were hit by blasts in supermarkets, on the streets, in their cars, and at home next to their children. People are killed and thousands injured, women and children among them. Most injuries affected the face, eyes, fingers and stomach. I met an Eye Surgeon at the Mount Lebanon hospital. It has been a nightmare. Probably this is the worst day of my life as a physician. Unfortunately, we were not able to save a lot of eyes. I can tell you that probably more than 60 to 70 of the patients ended up with eviscerating or removing at least one of their eyes. I was outside the hospital. Relatives waited for news of their loved ones. The Shock And Fear palpable. There are also very pressing Questions Today on everyones mind. First of all, what did actually happen . How did it happen . And second of all is basically how is this Going to affect the onGoing confrontation between Hezbollah And Israel . But what happened at this point is a major escalation of unprecedented level. And it didnt stop there. The next day, as hezbollah buried their dead. Fresh attacks. We were there. In the panic and confusion, people asked us to put our cameras down. This is a scene next to the funeral, where the funeral was being held. And as you can see, people are gathering. We asked whats happening. They told us another pager blew up on a young man. This time it wasnt pagers, it was the Walkie Talkies of hezbollah operatives. Although israel has not claimed responsibility for either attack, there is widespread belief in lebanon that it is israel that carried out both of them. Now, as hezbollah and the country are still reeling from the shock, the main question is whats next . Whether this was a coordinated plan by israel or not, these attacks were the trigger of what came next. If youre justjoining us, we are expecting to hear from the hezbollah leader, hassan nasrallah
