Letter outlines Trump assassination plot

A suspected gunman arrested outside Donald Trump's golf course in Florida had written a note months earlier saying he wanted to kill the former president, a court filing shows. Ryan Routh, 58, is so far accused of two federal gun crimes, but prosecutors said they would seek to charge him with the attempted assassination of a major political candidate. 

What does the note say? 

It reads, in part: "This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump." The pre-written letter, addressed to "The World", appears to pre-empt a failed assassination attempt. "I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster," it reads. 

What else have prosecutors found?

The court documents filed by prosecutors in support of Mr Routh's continued pre-trial detention noted that the letter was in a box that also contained ammunition, building materials, tools and four phones. It was dropped off at the home of the unnamed witness months before the incident. 

What do we know about the extent of Mr Routh's interest in Trump? 

Phone records show that Mr Routh had been near Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort for nearly a month between 18 August and 15 September. Investigators also found a handwritten list in his vehicle of dates where Trump had public appearances scheduled between August and October.

Four years after the Covid pandemic upended office work, some companies are reluctant to let employees work from home. Are their concerns justified? Business reporter Tom Espiner looks at what research tell us about how we work best.

And finally... in the Netherlands

A ceremony over the weekend remembered Allied soldiers who parachuted from military aircraft into Nazi-occupied Netherlands 80 years ago. In an airborne spectacular, 700 paratroopers from eight Nato nations - including the Netherlands, Germany, the UK and the US - parachuted from 12 aircraft over the Dutch countryside. Take a look.
