Hello and welcome to bbc news. Five people have been shot dead and 21 others injured after a gunman opened fire from a vehicle in the us state of texas. It happened on a road between the towns of midland and odessa. The gunman has been shot dead by the police. Our north america correspondent peter bowes has this update. The latest information is that the Police Believe although it is not definitely confirmed, but they believe that this gunmam was acting alone. Since he was tackled and killed by the police, there have been no further reports of shooting. At one stage, there was concern, in fact, many reports that there could be a number of gunmen responsible for what was happening. It seemed like multiple shootings over quite a wide area. It seems now it may simply have been the work of this one gunman, and the police are stressing that this information that they are giving us could still change. Its a fluid situation, they are still checking out reports and making sure that the area is safe. What we do know is that 21 people have been injured, its not entirely certain that they were all shot. Some of those people might have been hurt in the confusion. They were driving vehicles, they might have been injured simply trying to get away from the scene. So what isnt quite known yet is the precise number of people who were shot. And as i say, the investigation into the circumstances is continuing. Yeah, its very sad, but this is by far not the first mass shooting in texas. Whats the response been to this latest one . Well, the response is that this is another shooting tragedy, this is yet more gun violence, it is just a few short weeks since the shooting in el paso, it seems rather different circumstances, nevertheless, it was a mass shooting. And, of course, once again, people are talking about gun control, there was a tremendous amount of debate after the last spate of shootings just a few weekends ago and calls for tougher restrictions on guns and a lot of politicians at a very senior level, including president trump, responding to that, but in that time, there has been no significant action and no real sign of anything constructive happening that will change the laws as they apply to gun ownership, and background checks, which is one of the key issues. Yeah, its a developing story and we will obviously keep in touch with you, peter bowes there, live from los angeles. Lets look at some other stories in brief the taliban says it carried out a suicide bombing in afghanistan which killed at least ten people. The attack in kunduz followed hours of fighting which began when the militants attacked from several directions. Dozens of militants were killed when the government responded with air strikes. Emmanuel macron has spoken by phone to the president of iran. The elysee palace said the french president reminded Hassan Rouhani of the need for iran to comply with its nuclear obligations. However, state media in iran says president rouhani told president macron that iran would reduce its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal unless europe lived up to its own undertakings. The us military says it has carried out an attack on alqaeda militants in the rebel held syrian province of idlib. Reports from the region said more than a0 people were killed in a missile strike that targeted a meeting of leaders ofjihadist factions. Police in france say a young man has died and several other people have been injured in a stabbing attack in a suburb of lyon. The mayor said the man seemed to indiscriminately stab people waiting for a bus. Reports say police are hunting for another man carrying a metal spike who is believed to have fled the scene. Riot police have stormed a metro station in hong kong, using batons to beat passengers in the latest round of clashes with pro democracy campaigners. The authorities confirmed that two officers fired live rounds into the air during operations to clear protestors from the streets. Beijing has condemned the protests, asjohn sudworth reports now from hong kong. Tear gas from the roof of hong kongs government offices met with utter defiance. Hong kongs political deadlock is growing increasingly violent. The only way, some now believe, to secure this citys freedoms under chinese rule. By nightfall, this giant fire was raging in the Central Business district. But with scenes like these, china is also in no mood to compromise. Hu xijin is editor of one of beijings ultra loyal communist party run papers. Translation america and britain are interfering in hong kongs affairs. You are inflaming the situation. Not all these irrational emotions come from this society. Most come from foreign support. But most protesters are peaceful. Despite the risk of arrest, this unauthorised march earlier in the day was joined by thousands. Despite what beijing says. As well as one british mp here to observe, he says. Big changes happening in the world, and we need to understand them. I know were all obsessed by brexit, but weve got the growing power of china and weve also got a growing authoritarian china as well. Are you meddling . No. And if one mp is going to get blamed for this, thats simply nonsense, no. And this is clearly an indigenous protest thats coming from the people here. A few hundred activists, though, are intent on violence. And for the first time, the police used water cannon with coloured dye to make identifying them easier. Even a few weeks ago, in a city once famed for its stability, this level of violence would have seemed unimaginable. This is the very centre of hong kong, and look at it. They warned them not to protest today. The government buildings under siege, and its complete mayhem. The day ended with running battles spilling into the subway stations. A global clash of values. Freedom versus stability and control is being played out in this city in increasingly brutal form. A fight for democracy, a global clash of values playing out on these streets. As always, they were finally brought back under the control of the police. But no one doubts the protesters will be back. John sudworth, bbc news, hong kong. A french racing driver, anthoine hubert, has been killed in a formula two crash at the belgian grand prix. Hubert, who was 22, struck a barrier on one of the fastest sections of the track before being hit by another car. A statement by the motor racing authorities said that he later died at the nearby medical centre. Gareth barlow reports. Anthoine hubert was a rising star of motor racing. A driver for the bwt arden team, hubert was the reigning gp3 champion, and part of renault f1s Young Driver Programme a sign of the frenchmans future promise and prowess. But at the belgian grand prix on one of the fastest sections of the course, hubert was involved in a fatal collision while racing at speeds of around 270km h. In a statement, motorsports governing body said, as a result of the incident, the fia regrets to inform that the driver of car number 19, anthoine hubert, succumbed to his injuries and passed away. Motor racing is inherently dangerous, but safety has improved. The frenchmans death is the first driver fatality at a formula 1 race weekend since ayrton senna was killed 119911. Anthoine huberts death has left motorsport shocked and saddened with numerous teams and drivers posting condolences on social media. A sport mourning the loss of one of its brightest stars. The Us National Hurricane center says storm dorian poses an immediate threat to the bahamas, as well as millions of people along americas south east coast. Nasa has released these images of the storm, which were taken from the International Space station. Meteorologists say dorian is travelling with winds of up to 240 kilometres per hour, and could reach category 5 hurricane status. This is how the bbc Weather Centre expects the hurricane to develop over the next few days, hitting the northern bahamas on sunday. The storm has changed course slightly, putting itself on a possible track to make landfall in the carolinas rather than florida as previously forecast. Earlier i spoke to Nikole Killion from cbs whos at cocoa beach in florida, where she said the public were still taking precautions. Certainly, that is what the governor here is urging residents to do, to not let down their guard. The president as well for that matter who was briefed on Hurricane Dorian earlier today, again reminding folks not only here in florida but some of other states, georgia, north and South Carolina to remain vigilant. But, you know, it is a very difficult dilemma for a lot of residents here, simply because the track of this storm has changed so many times. You know, at one point, it looked like it would hit the state and then linger over the state and in many Populated Areas and major cities like orlando, florida, now the latest track appears to have it going up the coast and heading up potentially to the carolinas. But as we know with these things, this storm is very unpredictable, really still hard to tell exactly where it will go next, and so, for that reason, residents and officials here are certainly still taking this storm very seriously. Dont forget, you can keep up to date all with the latest news, business, and sport on our website. Thats all at bbc. Com news. Tens of thousands of people have held demonstrations across the uk, in protest at Boris Johnsons decision, to prorogue, or suspend parliament, for five weeks in the run up to brexit. The British Government insists its acting properly, but critics say its an attempt to bypass democracy. Mark easton reports. If you shut down our parliament. Chanting. We will shut down the streets calls for direct action from protesters outside downing street. Several thousand people had gathered in whitehall, many to voice their opposition to borisjohnsons move to shut down parliament ahead of britains scheduled exit from the European Union on october 31. Stop brexit the crowds were diverse cutting across class, age, ethnicity and Traditional Party politics. Todays protest is a reminder of how arguments over brexit represent a reshaping of political discourse in britain. Bankers and corporations who get richer while the workers get poorer. As well as london, there were similar demonstrations in towns and cities across the country, from yorkshire to belfast to bangor. In london, the apparent unity of the crowd disguised divisions over what they were opposed to. The governments suspension of parliament orjust the government . Opposed to a no deal brexit or leaving the eu at all . Is this about proroguing . Is it about brexit or conservatives . Yeah, a bit of both, really. I mean, mainly proroguing and brexit, but a bit of both. Are you a supporter of the European Union . I am not in support of a bosses club, i am in support of the european workers of greece, spain and italy, but i dont support what is, in effect, a bosses club in europe. So, youre anti eu . I am anti the European Union, yes. I am opposed to a no deal brexit. Brexit with a deal would be ok . Iwould prefer we remain, but i could live with a brexit with a decent deal, yes. You are a french national. Why are you here today . Why am i here today . Because i am one of the eu 27 who has been living for decades here. It is about a no deal brexit, its about the hatred and it is about hindering democratic processes. Deeply held feelings are on display as thousands take to the streets. But it is worth reflecting on the people who are not here, people with equally passionate views on the other side of the brexit debate. Public opinion and the country are riven as to what democracy should mean. This evening, there was disruption around westminster bridge. The organisers of todays demonstration say it should be seen as the beginning of a campaign of civil disobedience against the governments treatment of parliament. Mark easton, bbc news, whitehall. Our Political Correspondent Jessica Parker weighed up the likely impact of saturdays protests. Theres been a lot of anger, a lot of noise today, but will borisjohnson be looking out of his window, worrying about what hes seeing and having second thoughts . Well the evidence so far from this administration is that it isnt exactly afraid of a bit of confrontation. And on that note, this coming week of course were going to see battles and an almighty showdown here in westminster as well, as a Cross Party Group of mps try to legislate against the possibility of a no deal brexit with a now limited amount of time theyve got left before parliament is due to be suspended. Theyll hope todays protests boost their cause, inject it with some energy. But i think those who back borisjohnsons approach to brexit . Well, todays anger, todays noise may fall on deaf ears. This is bbc news. The latest headlines a mass shooting at two locations in texas has left at least five people dead and many more injured. Police have described the lone u thereve been more violent clashes in hong kong between police and protestors, after tens of thousands of people defied a ban to march through the city. Lets get more on Hurricane Dorian. Keith rogers is the owner of dive abaco, and hejoins me now on the phone from Marsh Harbour on the island of great abaco in the bahamas, where Hurricane Dorian is due to make landfall in the next few hours. You are right in the path of the storm. How concerned are you . We are very concerned, naturally. We have been through hurricane like this before. This is comparable to hurricane jean in 2004 before. This is comparable to hurricanejean in 2004 and people in town have been taking it seriously. Everything is closed and boarded up. All the boats have been cleared from the marinas. The docs are absolutely boat free. A couple of both our anchored in the harbour but the wind is blowing pretty hard already and i think were supposed to get the Hurricane Force went sometime around eighta. M. Hurricane force went sometime around eight a. M. We are seeing some pictures of other precautions being taken. How seriously are people taking this and what kind of things are they doing to try and safeguard their livelihood . Things are boarded up. Some people have left the island, further away from the path of the storm. And people have left their homes that are close to the sea and gone to stay with other people higher and drier and perhaps more rigid homes. You own a dive screwed. Our concerned are you about your business . School. Screwed. Our concerned are you about your business . School. This is approaching our off season anyway but typically business is pretty good until the middle of september but we have had to pull our boat out of the water early and some of the people expecting to come in are no longer coming, of course, and after the storm, depending on the damage, we may not have any tourists for a while. You talk about after this time, you have been through a couple already. What kind of impact systems like this have on your area . It depends on how much damage there is. If the docs are destroyed, then it will take a long time to rebuild them and, of course, with no docs and this is a boating capital, so a lot of people from followed come here and they will not be able to come until the marina is built. Wishing you the best of luck for yourself and your health and safety and your business. Thank you for joining us. More now on the death of the french formula 2 driver, anthoine hubert, who was killed in a crash at the spa francorchamps circuit in belgium. Jordan king is a british formula 2 driver with the mp motorsport team. He was behind hubert when the accident happened. He spoke to radio 5s stephen nolan. It is an emotional time for everybody in the sport and messages are flooding in from all over the world. It really shows you how tight knit the community that most sport is. But to be literally metres away from it is. Is hard to put into words, as you can see. What memories do you have of him . This the first time i raced head to head with him and we had many great battles on the track. There have been a couple of races where we finished almost alongside each other. He always had a big smile on his face and happy to shake your hand afterwards. He is definitely one of the good guys on the grid and he will be sorely missed by everybody and i will definitely miss racing against him. There is a lot going through my head and the incident itself is playing on repeat. I will not comment on the exact details. I have got my own reservations of what happened. But, yeah, these cars are as safe as they can be and they are as strong as they can be. It was a coincidence of three or four incidents that ended up with this final result. These assaultive situations you go overin these assaultive situations you go over in your head and you through every emotion. In the last few hours i have gone through every emotion possible to mankind. It does play over but, as you say, there is nothing i can do now, sitting here and you will have to come together, hold your head high and give as much support to the people who really needed. The flash need it. The use of foodbanks has become a common sight across the uk and rarely out of the headlines. But what about communities restricted by what they can eat based on their religion or diet . One foodbank in east london, which provides halal and vegetarian food, says it has seen an increase in people from the Asian Community asking for help. It also says the fear ofjudgement often prevents many from accessing its services. Forget baked beans and pasta. Humdum is not your typical food bank. Here, youre more likely to find vegetable rice and lamb curry. Volunteers provide home cooked asian food, with halal and vegetarian options. Everyone is welcome, but it caters in particular for barkings muslim, hindu and sikh communities. As well as taking donations, it needs to buy a lot of the food it needs, and for nighat bhola, one of the founders, it means Shopping Trips need careful planning. The process does take a bit longer because we have to check the ingredients is this suitable for our vegetarian or halal clients as well as anyone else . Back at base it is nearly time to eat. Across the country, Food Bank Use has increased. The trusell trust, the uks biggest food bank network, gave away 1. 6 million packs of food in the past year. That is an increase of nearly 20 from 2018. Humdum has had around 30 people who have come to the food drive, but volunteers here say for some people in the Asian Community they may feel embarrassed coming to a food bank. They are very shy. They dont want to go out and beg. Ive dedicated my time to go out and deliver to their houses. Yasmin, which is not her real name, comes weekly. The food is very nice. I am muslim so i especially eat halal food. They can speak with me punjabi so i can explain what i want and they are giving me. But for some the stigma is too great. Nighat tries to encourage them in, not least for the social contact. They can come up here, they feel lonely, they feel they can come up to a place on a saturday, sit down, have lunch, talk to people. We are like their humdum family. And the volunteers here say they benefit from the Community Feeling too, including 22 year old nurse zara. Once we have done our work, cleaned up, ourgroup, our team leader will sit us down and we all eat together, which is fantastic, because youre notjust coming here to volunteer, youre also here to make friends. With a stronger sense of community humdum hopes it will help asian people shake off the shame that some associate with food banks. Today marks 80 years since germany invaded poland. Representatives from different areas have come here. The Southern Island city here was a pond and fired. We have current soldiers waiting for the ceremony to start. Members of the public rating as well. The ceremony is due to start in 20 minutes time. We have the polish president and the german president that as well and we will bring you more pictures from that commemoration when we get it. The 80th anniversary of world war ii we re 80th anniversary of world war ii were 6 million polish people died and it was done on the first of september, 1939, when german bombers hit the city we are in now. Where hundreds were killed. We have soldiers waiting for the ceremonies to start and we will bring you more pictures when that happens. Finally, Ellie Goulding has married in front of famous guests and royalty at york cathedral. The 32 year old singer got engaged to art dealer, casparjopling, last year and was greeted by cheers from the crowd. She arrived in a blue volkswagen camper van, wearing a bespoke chloe dress. The guest list included katy perry and orlando bloom. Also amongst the royals attending the wedding was princess beatrice, with her boyfriend, Edoardo Mapelli mozz. Sunday is the first day of meteorological autumn. And for the early days of september it will feel a little on the chilly side. We have a band of cloud that swept across the country yesterday. It is behind that that we are drawing in a cooler fresher air on a north westerly breeze and that will bring some more showers, particularly across Northern Ireland and scotland overnight. In between those showers there is still a chance of catching the Northern Lights for northern areas. Further south across the uk we will have some longer clearer skies. With that cooler air coming down temperatures will drop away and it will be chillier than it was last night. 7 9 degrees in towns and cities, cooler than that in rural areas. A sunny start for many parts of england and wales. Scattered showers for a while in Northern Ireland, some heavier thundery ones pushing eastwards across scotland and Northern England and down towards the wash. Very few showers for the midlands, good chance it will stay dry in southern england with temperatures sneaking up to 20 degrees. Further north with the showers it is a cool 15 or 16 but at least it will not be as windy on sunday. Those heavy showers should clear away from eastern areas. Another band of cloud and showers pushing through Northern Ireland and heading towards scotland. Some breaks in the cloud overnight and again another chilly one, particularly in North Eastern scotland where temperatures could be down to about three degrees or so. Into the new week and we will replace the north westerly wind with milder, cloudier west south westerly wind. Around the area of High Pressure and feeding in those weather systems, piling in the rain again for North Western areas. England and wales probably a dry start, chilly with sunshine, clouding over a bit more from the west. We have rain coming into Northern Ireland, pushing into scotland, into cumbria with some wet weather over the hills late in the day. 15 degrees in glasgow, 22 in london in the south east. A touch warmer on monday. Similar sort of weather pattern really for monday into tuesday, we still have the brisk wind off the atlantic, a lot of weather fronts on the scene but essentially northern and Western Areas will have most of the cloud. A better chance of catching some rain and that rain could be heavy again over western parts of scotland. Very little if any rain through the midlands, east anglia and the south east and temperatures similar to those on monday. In the middle of the week the wind direction will change again with High Pressure to the west of the uk, drawing down cooler fresher more north westerly wind bringing sunshine and some showers.
