President trump has condemned the two Mass Shootings in texas and ohio over the weekend that have left 31 people dead. He said the nation had to speak in one voice against racism, bigotry and White Supremacy. It came as mr trump was accused by political opponents of contributing to a rise in racist attacks with his own language, as president , and in the past. Our north america editor jon sopel reports. We have been here before, we will be here again. Another heart wrenching vigil in an American City where deadly gun violence has made an unwelcome intrusion in the midst of this darkness, there were also stories of immense heroism. Specialist soldier glendon oakley rescued many children, but hes haunted by the ones he couldnt save. I understand it was heroic, and im looked at as a hero for it, but that wasnt the reason for me. Im just focused on the kids i had to go and get. These deaths at the hands of the alleged killer, patrick crusius, brought a more reflective donald trump to the podium at the white house, and he was unequivocal. This was a monstrous evil. The shooter in el paso posted a manifesto online, consumed by racist hate. In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and White Supremacy. These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in america. He called for a new spirit of bipartisanship, but did not offer any new gun control measures. The focus needed to be on the people who got hold of them. We must reform our Mental Health laws to better identify mentally disturbed individuals who may commit acts of violence, and make sure those people not only get treatment but, when necessary, in voluntary confinement. Mental illness and hatred pulls the trigger, not the gun. But democrats say the president s own language when it comes to race and immigration at rallies like this one in the Florida Panhandle has helped create a toxic climate. This is an invasion when you see these caravans are starting out with 20,000 people, that an invasion. But how do you stop these people . You cant. Laughter. Thats only in the panhandle you can get away with that statement but today from the president , the language is of a need for unity. The same words being spoken at the vigils. Theres too much hate everywhere. All the hateful rhetoric around this nation has taken a toll on this city. Weve heard calls before of the need for everyone to come together, but in the past in washington, those words have tended to fall on deaf ears. John sobel, bbc news, washington. And jon explains what the reaction has been to the language used by the president today. I think ithinka i think a lot of people have welcomed Donald Trumps comments that he needed to call out racism, bigotry, White Supremacy and he was unequivocal in the language in which he spoke. I think there was an understanding too that the internet is part of the problem, violent video games are part of the problem, but also it was greeted with a good of scepticism from Many Democrats stop each donald trump is due to go down to el paso on wednesday. The former congressmen running for the democratic nomination better oral said he should stay away. Theres been two significant interventions from former president s. Bill clinton has called for a reintroduction of the assault weapons ban and he said when that ban was in place, the number of deaths, the number of Mass Shootings, was way down, that law was changed and the numbers have gone way up. Perhaps the most significant intervention has come from barack 0bama. He doesnt mention donald trump by name but let mention donald trump by name but let me read you a clip of it, we should soundly reject language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that feed a climate of fear and hatred, or normalises racist sentiments. Its pretty clear who hes talking about. Jon sopel in washington. Just last month, the head of the fbi in the United States said the majority of domestic terrorism arrests since october were linked to White Supremacy. With a closer look now at the rise in far right violence, and what can be done to tackle it, heres our security correspondent gordon corera. Even before el paso, the warning signs were there. A shooter targeting a synagogue in california in april still be a member of the coastguard whod stop filed an arsenal of weapons for an attack. 11 killed at a synagogue in pittsburgh. And the statistics back that up. Here you can see the rising number of what are called far right extremist incidents in the us in the last 15 years, especially recently. And according to the fbi director, arrests linked to White Supremacy run at the same level as those linked tojihadist run at the same level as those linked to jihadist violence. Just in the first three quarters of this year, weve had more domestic terrorism arrests than the prior year. Its about the same number of arrests as we have on the International Terrorism side. The ideology is not new, but it has been resurgent in the last few years. Why . 0ne resurgent in the last few years. Why . One reason is technology. Most far right attackers have acted alone, but, like the el paso attacker, they inhabit an International Online community where extremists insight and encourage others. Social media plays a crucial role in the spread of white supremacist ideology. It essentially provides safe places where people can learn to hate and share and radicalise one another. This has lowered the barrier to entry to involvement in these groups and movements, and you can essentially get in in white supremacist ideology without leaving your house. And then theres politics. There a fiery debate in the us about whether the rhetoric over race and immigration, with even the president using terms like invasion, encourages those acting violently. The reactions of the us president towards the charlottesville attackers, trying to sympathise, in attackers, trying to sympathise, in a sense, with both sides of the issue, have given. And the calls for pushback against immigrants in the United States i think have fanned the flames of White Supremacy. I dont think that the president has caused those, but what we see is the White Supremacist Movement in the United States has been energised. The us has devoted huge resources to countering terrorism since 2001, but not so far to this type of terrorism. And switching focus may not be straightforward. Because most White Supremacists act alone rather than part of a group, it is harder to detect them. Then there are tensions over where constitutionally protected free speech ends and a violent ideology starts. And finally, theres the question as to whether the Trump Administration has the political will to drive real change. Gordon corera reporting, our security correspondent. Some news just security correspondent. Some newsjust in in into us from our correspondent laura bicker in south korea in seoul. North korea has fired two unidentified projectiles across the peninsular and into the south korean see according to the south korean military.

The Prime Minister has insisted that money announced for the nhs in england is extra funding after labour accused him of misleading voters. Borisjohnson pledged £1 billion to be spent on a huge backlog of repairs, and another £850 million on new facilities at 20 hospitals across the country. But labour says the money had already been earmarked for hospitals. 0ur Health Editor hugh pym has more. With borisjohnson making his first big nhs announcement, what do patients across england have to say . Down here in the south west, you can sometimes feel a bit forgotten about compared to the rest of the country. Making sure were getting doctors appointments on time, making sure that when we need a surgery and appointments, you can actually get seen on time as well. Theres not enough funding for everything. Lack of nurses and doctors and spaces and everything else. Its about time we had a super hospital. We need a super hospital around here. Politically, the Prime Minister wants to be seen with his party to be taking the initiative on the nhs, as he visited United Lincolnshire hospitals, one of the trusts chosen to get new investment over the next five years. Ive said that myjob is to make sure that we use the funds that go into the nhs to reduce the time you wait to see your gp, the time you wait in a e, and that is why we are doing it today. So, what are these £1. 8 billion of spending pledges for england . £1 billion will be used this year to tackle hospital refurbishment. It has been estimated the total backlog is around £6 billion. £850 million will be spent on 20 new hospital projects over five years, including new wards, Treatment Centres and operating theatres. Some of the money for this year, it seems, is already in the nhs system and has been freed up for our hospitals to spend on buildings and repairs. £1 billion is essentially money that trusts have already got, its money that theyve saved up intending to spend it on things like this, but theyve not been allowed to spend yet. Its not new cash, but it is a new approval, a new release of money for the nhs. Labour say there are bigger problems which still havent been addressed. Today borisjohnson talked about new beds and new equipment, but we need new staff to look after those beds, to use that equipment, yet we are short of 100,000 staff. Were short of 40,000 nurses in the nhs. The latest list covers 20 hospitals so what about all the others, like this one, ipswich . Well, a couple of years ago, it was allocated new funding to upgrade a e care, but sources make clear there is still a need for money to modernise buildings and facilities. Theres a victorian building still used for dermatology and plastic surgery, part of a sprawling site which is difficult for patients. The trust wants to close it down and build a new centre, but theres no money available yet to make that happen. Theres always a massive backlog of maintenance issues. So, if youre working in buildings from the 1980s, the 1970s, when a lot of ipswich and Colchester Hospitals were built, then you are constantly upgrading. We need to invest in new diagnostics. So there will always be a multi Million Pound backlog of maintenance issues. Scotland, wales and Northern Ireland will receive funding based on the formula linked to new money in england. Hospital leaders say it is a start but no more than that. Hugh pym, bbc news. The money is just one of a number of spending commitments announced by the Prime Minister in his first two weeks in the job. 0ur Political Correspondent ben wright says a lot of people think this is number 10 gearing up for an early election. The nhs of course is a key issue for voters tha n the nhs of course is a key issue for voters than there is a sense of a government readying itself for an early autumn election, despite Boris Johnsons insistence that britain will not go to the polls before brexit has happened. But i think many mps have other ideas, and today the labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn that he which i do for say does not try to force a vote of no confidence to trigger a vote. Remember the government only has a minuscule majority of one and they could lose that vote. Boris johnson cannot continue carrying on government with a kind of majority. He said under no circumstances would there be an election before october the 31st. I think this d is asked up for quite a huge political showdown when mps returned to westminster and the august love is over this this tees us up. Eu officials have said there is currently no basis for meaningful discussions with the uk over brexit and the talks have been set back three years. They were briefing diplomats from the 27 other Member States on Political Developments in the uk. Negotiators blamed the british governments insistence that the backstop, the measure designed to prevent physical checks on the irish border, be removed. 0ne negotiator said we are back where we were three years ago. Downing street has tonight said that if the eu wants a deal it needed to change its stance.

An eyewitness has described the shocking scenes at tate modern in london yesterday after a 6 year old boy from france was thrown from a 10th floor viewing platform. The american businessman told the bbc he heard a scream and then saw a child lying on a roof five storeys below. Police are continuing to question a 17 year old on suspicion of attempted murder. Our special correspondent lucy manning has this report. Parents with children at the tate modern this morning, but greeted by signs that the viewing gallery was shut, because on the tenth floor yesterday, the screams of a mother as her son fell five flows onto a flat roof. Police investigating claims that the young child, visiting from france, was thrown over the edge by a teenager at the gallery. Mark welty was on the viewing platform. There was a little commotion, with a very loud primal scream. And so, it was hard to ascertain what was going on. Someone said someone had thrown a child over. I leapt up and looked over the rail. I did indeed see a child down below there. The childs mother then tried to climb the rail. I restrained her and pulled her back. And then the fella who was being accused was being punched, and then we pushed him over to the side of the wall, where he was then standing and continued to say, yeah, i did it, i did it. It was there, near the fence. We were standing taking pictures. 0lga malchevska was also on the viewing platform with her four year old son when it happened. I heard that there was a kind of noise happening close to us, and we went to the lift. And on my way, i met a woman who was running, and she was shouting, oh, my son, my son, and she was desperately crying. And instinctively, ithought maybe i should help, but i had my little child, so ijust grabbed him and we jumped into the lift. There was a helicopter, and then i saw paramedics running inside, and then paramedics carrying something. There was that emotional moment where you think, like, whether they are alive or not. Police said today the 6 year old boy is in a stable but Critical Condition and is no longer in a life threatening situation. The 17 year old who is suspected of throwing him from the viewing platform isnt believed to have known the boy. As the boys family waits for more news about his condition, the teenager is still being held on suspicion of attempted murder. Police say there is no obvious motive and want to hear from visitors who saw anyone whose behaviour was worrying or out of place. Lucy manning, bbc news. Thousands of extra troops are on the streets of kashmir tonight after india dramatically stripped its part of the divided state of its special status, inflaming tensions with pakistan. It means an end to rights that the territory has enjoyed for more than 70 years, including making its own laws and guaranteeing jobs and property for local people. India and pakistan, both nuclear powers, have fought over kashmir since they became independent in 19117. Both countries control part of it, but stake claims to the state in full. Its population is predominantly muslim. Pakistan has accused india of acting illegally, and of attempting to dilute kashmirs muslim majority. The un has urged both sides to exercise restraint. Yogita limaye reports from delhi. An uneasy quiet in kashmir. Its people under lockdown. At its future was being decided hundreds of kilometres away. With one dramatic announcement in parliament, the Specialist Status kashmir had held for 70 years was revoked by a direct president ial order. This is a black monday, this is a dark day. There was an uproar among Opposition Mps who called the move unconstitutional. But among supporters of the decision, it was time to celebrate. One of the big election promises made by Prime Minister modi and his ruling bjp fulfilled. If i look at it from the peoples perspective, in terms of employment opportunities, in terms of economic opportunities, seeing that development reaches at the grassroots, Jammu And Kashmir deserves much better so this is about the people of Jammu And Kashmir. At the time of partition, kashmir was a princely state. It was given a choice to be a part of india or pakistan. It chose the former, on the condition that it could make its own rules and only permanent residents could acquire land in the region. All those privileges have been done away with now and some are angry about how it unfolded. What has left many in the country in disbelief is the manner in which this was done. No elected representative from kashmir was consulted. Here in parliament, mps did not vote on it. People here are questioning how this was allowed to happen in a democracy. To quell tensions in kashmir, tens of thousands of extra troops have been deployed. Top politicians have been placed under house arrest. From where she was being held, a former kashmir chief minister spoke to the bbc over the phone. Im really shocked because i feel this unilateral decision is going to have, you know, far reaching consequences for the whole subcontinent. It is going to be catastrophic. 0n the other side of the de facto border, pakistan protested too, saying it would explore all options to counter the move. This himalayan region that is disputed by both neighbours is at a turning point. Yogita limaye, bbc news, delhi. Around 11,500 tesco staff are to lose theirjobs in the latest round of redundancies at the uks biggest supermarket firm. The retailer says the majority ofjobs will go from tesco metro shops because of what it describes as a challenging environment. Our business correspondent, colletta smith, says todays news is the latest in a series ofjob cuts from the supermarket. This for tesco staff is the result of some very turbulent years. 9000 jobs have been cut from tescos biggest stores, now they are announcing cuts for the medium stores. 150 metro stores right up and down the uk are now the ones to be facing the axe 153. This door behind me opened in the 90s and tesco sat at the time people used to come in and do their weekly shop here, but the way we shop has changed medically. Now 70 of customers of tesco metros are just pppin9 customers of tesco metros are just popping in and buying what they need for the evening. Its a convenience store. So the way they operate needs to change. They need less products in the stores and fewer stuff. So 4500 in the stores and fewer stuff. So a500 jobs and are at risk as you say. The Company Wants to try and redeploy those staff within the company still, but there is absolutely no guarantee of that at the moment. Even the smaller, more popular Tesco Express stores are also facing scrutiny today. The Company Announced 8 of those doors will have much shorter hours. This isa will have much shorter hours. This is a business, dont forget, they are sitting on profits of £1. 7 billion, that they are worried about competition and watching every penny at the moment. Colletta smith reporting there. A strike involving thousands of workers at Heathrow Airport which was planned for tomorrow has been called off. The unite union and the airport have reached a deal over pay for support staff, including security guards. Two further strikes later in the month are still scheduled to go ahead. A British Airways cabin was filled with smoke minutes before it was due to land. The plane was near the end of the journey when the problems started. 0ne passenger described it as terrifying, saying a detector was ringing as the cabin filled with smoke. They then had to exit the plane via emergency shoots. Ba says it is assisting customers in the airport terminal. We can speak to one of the passengers on the flight at her home in valencia. It sounds terrifying, tell us what happened . Yes, it was very frightening. It was about ten minutes before we were due to land and we noticed the cabin starting to fill up really quite quickly with smoke, almost like it was coming through the air conditioning system. And people sort of started shouting, trying to remain calm, and very quickly you could see the passenger two seats down from you, becoming very sick, and there wasnt an official announcement about what was happening. People were saying get down, get down, so that we were to try to be then cleaner air towards the floor of the cabin. Then we came inforan the floor of the cabin. Then we came in for an Emergency Landing but it was a pretty smooth landing. The captain did a really good job, i think, because we later found out the cockpit was full of smoke and he had a gas mask on. Then we landed, the cabin staff had a real problem getting doors open. So we had to stay on the runway for 3 a minutes ina cabin stay on the runway for 3 a minutes in a cabin full of smoke. Then an air hostess arrived with oxygen mask on asking if we could breathe, then they opened up the shoot and we came down the flight. When we came off on the runway there were fire engines, a number of policemen, lots of people running towards the plane and we we re people running towards the plane and we were told just to run and get as far away from the plane as we could, which we did, then we were taken into the airport terminal and they close the airport. Temporarily, while they checked inside. Wow, not the ideal start to a family holiday. What was going through your mind . Did you think the plane was on fire, or what . It was difficult to say. When youre with your family you dont want to, you know, you dont wa nt to dont want to, you know, you dont want to panic. So i think i thought that there was a fire, some sort of fire, because the smoke was becoming so thick so quickly. But, we really just thought we wanted to get off the plane safely. Which they helped us do, the cabin crew got us out as quickly as they could. Do you know what was causing that smoke . Know, we dont know, and it did feel like once we had left the plane there was a sort of lack of information for passengers. The discussion amongst the Emergency Personnel at the airport was there had been some kind of electrical fire on the plane and the pilot said there wasnt any real risk for the plane itself but i think he was he was landing the plane without much official aid, through the smoke. So i think it could have been an electrical fire from what we know so far. A very frightening experience and thank you so much for being with us. Im very glad you are safe and well, you and yourfamily, glad you are safe and well, you and your family, and enjoy glad you are safe and well, you and yourfamily, and enjoy your holiday after a very bumpy start. Rachel judd from the bbc who was on the plains of valencia as you saw there who was filled with smoke. Now its time for the weather with louise lear. Hello.
