Now, two federal charges read to him the first of which was possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, namely a convicted felon so that confirmation for the first time that he had these previous offences and then, possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. There was a bit of an exchange around Mr Routh s financial situation, to see whether he qualified for a public defence. Thejudge asked him if he had any assets he said that what he had amounted to zero, in his words, apart from two trucks he owned in hawaii that he said were worth 1,000 each. Now, no plea was mentioned during this hearing, this was purely procedural, a first appearance and the judge then set a date for a pretrial Detention Hearing which would take place on monday next week, and Mr Routh was then led out of court again.

The trump international Golf Club spreads across 330 acres, and Donald Trump plays there regularly. Located in West Palm Beach in florida, the course was a ten Minute Drive from his home at mar a lago. The clubs perimeter is more than three miles long. This is one part of it, right by a public road. Theres a chain link fence. Beyond that, you can easily see the course. And this was the route Donald Trump was taking during his round. Hed reached hole five. According to police, Secret Service agents walked one hole ahead, as is standard, and we are told those agents spotted a Rifle Sticking out of the fence. Bbc verify has concluded it was somewhere in this area, which was later cordoned off. Police say Donald Trump was between 3 500 yards away, within range of the rifle. They also released this image showing a rifle fitted with a scope, two backpacks and a Gopro Camera attached to the fence. These events in florida happened while Donald Trumps safety was already under greater scrutiny because of a major Security Failure in july. At a rally in pennsylvania, a Gunman Shot at trump, hitting his ear and killing a bystander. The head of the Secret Service resigned days later. The Secret Service said they had increased the amount of assets protecting Donald Trump, but Mr Trump Isnt President , and thats a factor. The local sheriff says. This raises questions about what is possible, and if the candidates in his president ial election can be kept safe, especially in locations they are known to visit frequently. And while americans seek answers, the authorities say the Threat Level remains high. Professor matthew schmidt, an expert on Homeland Security from university of new haven, says the resources available for the Secret Services need to increase in this charged climate. What we know from the last investigation from the Pennsylvania Attempt is that often these things end up falling on dividing lines between federal jurisdiction for the Secret Service itself and local Law Enforcement, and miscommunication between these two agencies. 0k, and i guess the question thats also being asked is whether Donald Trump had adequate protection from the Secret Service . I mean, i think what were seeing here is that, you know, weve seen two attempts on the same person. So it seems like the protection is inadequate right now. And when were looking at the Secret Service, theyre hard pressed because they have to defend the president , a Vice President who is now the leading democratic president ial candidate, and another president ial candidate all three of whom are high intensity protectees, which are really straining the system. And, you know, you talk about straining the System Weve heard from president biden, who does concede that the Secret Service needs more help. What would that mean in practical terms . Well, they definitely need, i think, more people and they need better technology. So there are simple things here, like radios that they have enough of to share with local Law Enforcement. So everybody s on the same channel, the same frequency. They need enough equipment to be able to do, you know, checks and to do a variety of ways in which they use sensor equipment, right . Magnetometers to ir detection, fluors and things like this to be able to have them at multiple sites when a candidate is in florida and a candidate in pennsylvania and the president s in dc, they need enough of this kind of equipment. But i think mostly its personnel, and its continuing to have the capacity to communicate and work with local Law Enforcement. I Cant Stress this enough, especially for an international audience, the Secret Service is a federal agency, and it has to work on and it relies with its Communication And Cooperation with local Law Enforcement agencies. If that Communication Isnt strong, then the Protection Isnt strong. Bringing you some breaking news from here in the uk. The association which represents Junior Doctors in england has accepted the Uk Governments Pay Offer. Now the pay deal, which will see wages rise by an average of 22. 3 over two years, was accepted by more than half of them. Junior doctors which means all medical consultants below Consultant Level have been in dispute with the government over real terms pay cut since october 2022. You can see thats why many of them have been on strike. The British Medical Association had been campaigning Fora Medical Association had been campaigning for a 35 Pay Increase to make up for what they say had been years of below Inflation Pay rises. It says doctors pay remains 20. 8 per hind 20. 8 behind in real terms compared to what it was in 2008. So breaking news they are that, after a long period of strike action, Junior Doctors have accepted a Pay Offer from the government, of course a new government since july, who said that they did try to come to some sort of agreement with the doctors there. We will have more with our correspondence when we can, but just updating our correspondence when we can, butjust updating you at the moment.

And other sex offender. The images were discovered in the whatsapp messages of alex williams, who sent them to edwards.

Months later, edwards says, dont send underage, but in another exchange, when williams describes images he is offering is young, edwards replies, Go On.
