  • I'm Andrew Peach, and in the early hours of Tuesday, the 17 September.

  • These are our main stories.

  • The acting head of the US Secret service says swift action from agents helped to foil the apparent attempt to assassinate Donald Trump on Sunday.

  • Mister Trump has blamed the attack on rhetoric from his Democrat opponents.

  • The iranian president has promised to make sure the morality police don't harass women.

  • But we hope that this hearing will help shed light on the cause of the tragedy and prevent anything like this from happening again.

  • A public hearing begins into the submersible which imploded on its way to find the Titanic.

  • It hears the vessel had technical problems during previous expeditions.

  • Now, as we record this podcast, it's 30 hours since the US secret Service, one hole ahead of Donald Trump at his golf course in Florida, spotted a rifle in the bushes less than 500 metres from the man they were there to protect.

  • On Monday, the suspect appeared at West Palm beach courthouse charged with gun crimes.

  • It's just the start of a legal process for Ryan Routh, a 58 year old who lives in Hawaii and appears to have been obsessed with the war in Ukraine, even traveling there two years ago to try to take part.

  • We learned a bit more about the suspect at a news conference.
