'Never surrender!' - Trump defiant after...

SKY NEWS
About this episode
Donald Trump has faced a second assassination attempt while playing golf in Florida. 
  
The accused, 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, is said to have fled the scene but was eventually arrested and charged with federal gun crimes. With just seven weeks out from election day, how will voters react to the apparent second bid on Trump's life? 
  
Niall Paterson is joined by Scarlett Maguire, director of JL Partners pollsters, to explore what the polls suggest about the race for the White House, and what the latest attempt on Trump could mean for them? 
  
Plus, Sir Keir Starmer is in Rome to meet with his Italian counterpart, right-winger Giorgia Meloni. On the agenda is tackling illegal migration, and the prime minister has said he is "interested" in an offshore migration deal Italy has struck with Albania. But the home secretary has said it is not on the cards "at the moment".   
  
Our political correspondent Darren McCaffrey is in Italy and discusses with Niall what Sir Keir seeks to learn from Meloni's approach to immigration, and the unease some in his party have to strengthening their relationship.
