There’s been another incident where a gunman tried to enter an event attended by US President Donald Trump.
The president was quickly escorted to safety by the Secret Service, but questions have been raised about how he got so close, and about what it means for the King’s US visit next week.
To help Laura and Paddy answer them, former British ambassador to the United States, Lord Kim Darroch is in the studio. And Paddy also talks to the BBC’s chief North America correspondent Gary O’Donoghue, who was at the dinner.

US President Trump announces extension to Iran ceasefire and continuation of blockade | BBC News
President Donald Trump says the US will extend the ceasefire with Iran, at the request of Pakistan, and continue the blockade of Iranian ports.
Trump has said the ceasefire will remain in place “until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other”.
He added the blockade of Iranian ports will also continue until Tehran presents a “unified proposal”.

Explosions and sustained gunfire have been reported in Mali’s capital, Bamako, as armed groups launch apparently co-ordinated attacks across the country.
The military said in a statement on Saturday that “fighting is ongoing”, adding “our defence and security forces are currently engaged in repelling the attackers”.
Witnesses have told news agency Reuters of explosions and gunfire around Kati, home to a major military base outside the capital. Soldiers have been deployed to block off roads in the area.
There are also reports of attacks in Gao and Kidal in the north, and Sevare in central Mali, in what one analyst described as the largest jihadist attack in years.

Riot-trained police will be sent to beaches in France as part of a new £662m deal with the UK to stop illegal migrants from crossing the English Channel.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood signed the three-year agreement with France on Thursday, which will see at least 50 police officers, trained in “riot and crowd control tactics”, drafted in to tackle violence and “hostile crowds”.
The deal will involve France deploying millions of pounds worth of drones, two helicopters, and a camera system to intercept people smugglers and illegal migrants.

US President Donald Trump said he will extend the ceasefire with Iran until talks between the two countries have progressed.
He also said the blockade of Iranian ports will also continue until Tehran presents a “unified proposal”.
The status of the US-Iran talks had been unclear with the current ceasefire previously due to expire this week.
The BBC’s chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet is reporting from Tehran on condition that none of her material is used on the BBC’s Persian Service. These restrictions apply to all international media organisations operating in Iran.

Big Ben is now 163 years old
And it was built on Tuesday 31st May 1859.

I don't really know about anyone else but for myself, the new colour scheme on the clockface is going to take quite a bit of getting used to with the gold and the Prussian blue paint.
I am aware of the reasons why it was painted like this as it's how it was originally but it's the first time in my own lifetime that I have saw it painted in these colours as opposed to how it was before restoration work began last decade.
I know that it's a form of Blue paint called Prussian Blue but it does look like a form of Purple at first glance.
Still, a nice change if a bit weird.🥴

Is it related to terrorist risks or other reasons ?

1:36 Can we stop this annoying visual cliche of starting a shot all blurry and coming into focus? Just start the shot in focus. Waiting for it to come in to focus is like the internet of 20 years ago and waiting for a photo to download and slowly get clearer, its dumb

Imagine travelling to London in the old days through pokey little villages and over rolling hills, having never seen anything higher than a few stories and then you get to the capital city and see that beautiful clocktower, would be a sight to behold
