There have been two Mass Shootings in the united states, just hours apart, in texas and ohio. In el paso, texas, 20 people were killed when a man opened fire on shoppers in a walMart Supermarket in one of the worst Mass Shootings in modern us history. A 21 year old white man has been arrested and police are investigating whether the attack, which happened a few miles from the us mexico border, was a racially motivated hate crime. Our correspondent sophie long reports from the scene. Oh, my god. Parents were shopping with their children when suddenly they were told to run. Run, run, run the Walmart Store was packed with thousands of people when a gunman started firing indiscriminately. 20 people were killed, 26 others were hurt. Many, according to the governor of texas, sustained life threatening injuries. On a day that would have been a normal day for someone to leisurely go shopping, it turned into one of the most deadly days in the history of texas. Lives were taken who should still be with us today. One white man has been arrested and taken into custody. Hes been identified by local media as 21 year old patrick crusius. Police say theyre examining the possibility that this attack was a hate crime. Theyre investigating possible links with a White Nationalist manifesto that was published anonymously online, claiming the attack was targeted at the hispanic community. It has the nexus, at this point in time, to a hate crime. The fbi will be looking into that with the other federal authorities. Right now, we are looking at potential capital murder charges for this individual. El paso sits on the border with mexico. Its population is more than 80 hispanic. Its become a focal point in the debate over immigration in the united states. This is someone who came from outside of our community to do us harm, a community that has shown nothing but generosity and kindness to the least among us. Mass shootings are not uncommon here. Exactly a week ago, a six year old and a 13 year old were among those killed when a gunman opened fire at a festival in northern california. But people are shocked that it happened here in el paso, considered to be one of americas safest cities, and they are shocked that such young, innocent lives were lost and so many. But amid the horror and the pain and the great, great sadness, there are demands again for something to be done to stop it. Sophie long, bbc news, el paso. Just hours later, another gunman opened fire in the us city of dayton, ohio, killing nine people and injuring at least 26 others. The shooting happened outside a bar and the gunman was killed by police. Officers say they believe he was acting alone. Two eyewitnesses explained what they saw as events unfolded. People just started running, they started pushing us out the back door, into the alley out the back, because they did not want us coming out the front, because they did not know where the shooter was, or how many there was. The screams, the cruisers, the chaos, i have never been pushed out of newcoms, i have never been told to get out of newcoms, but the security guards in themselves were running around telling people to get out, and just how everybody was acting, you knew that something was wrong, and then, when you came outside, as soon as you hit the front street, you saw the bodies and you knew that this was different, you knew it was something you never thought of experiencing. Would not want anyone to experience. The citys mayor, nan whaley, gave an update at a news conference, and said america needed to ask itself why so many people were dying. Dayton has gone through a really tough year. Three months ago, early in the morning, the day after memorial day, i think we had not quite this many cameras, but the city was ravaged by about 14 tornadoes. Now to awake to a mass shooting in the 250th shooting in oui shooting in the 250th shooting in our country this year, to happen in dayton, what goes through my mind is that one seems completely preve nta ble. That one seems completely preventable. I just question that one seems completely preventable. Ijust question when is enough enough . That was the maid of dayton, nan whaley. Mayor. Talks are going on to try to prevent two days of strikes at heathrow by engineers, firefighters and security staff. 177 flights are set to be cancelled on monday and tuesday in preparation for the strikes set for monday and tuesday. In a Statement Released by heathrow this afternoon the airport said airlines have now started to contact passengers on affected flights and passengers should contact their airline for more information. Our correspondent katy austin is at Heathrow Airport for us. Apart from that statement, what more do we know about how the discussions are going . Things have got quite late in the day, if there is to be a resolution to prevent strike action tomorrow and tuesday, and as things have gone on without an agreement, we are hearing more and more airline starting to confirm the cancellations we were expecting to happen tomorrow and tuesday. People should get in touch with the airlines directly, because dozens of Different Airlines are affected, it is such a big airport. We are starting to hear more about the kind of impact there will be, assuming the strike goes ahead, and passengers whose flights are running as normal. We were warned they would be long queues to get through security and a number of airlines have confirmed that to help passengers get through the queues more quickly, there will be restrictions on the amount of hand luggage people can bring, they will have to Check Another baggage so it can be quicker to get through security. So far, Virgin Atlantic and British Airways have confirmed they will be operating that policy. Everyone is hoping a strike can be called off but after nearly two days of discussions going on with no progress, a resolution does look more and more unlikely. Heathrow had said when the talks kicked off that they were putting contingency plans into place. When you look at who is striking this time around, not airline crew, you can understand why there are safety concerns. Engineers, firefighters, security staff. Have you had any indication of what the contingency plans are . They have not really gone into any detail on that, but because this is quite a long running dispute over pay, heathrow will have been thinking about this for some time, they will have had contingency plans in the pipeline for some time, because there are strict regulations about how an airport is resource so it can operate safely. The airport says it is confident it can do so. At the moment, it says its main task is continuing to work with airlines to reduce the number of flights operating on monday and tuesday because this is a massive airport, 1300 flights being handled every single day, 650 of them departures. We think it is roughly one in seven we can expect to be cancelled as well as other delays and disruptions you can see for well as other delays and disruptions you can see for passengers well as other delays and disruptions you can see for passengers who are actually flying. Thank you very much. In derbyshire, efforts are continuing to shore up the dam near Whaley Bridge, and to bring the water level down at toddbrook reservoir, ahead of heavy rain forecast for the east midlands. Police say the situation remains critical but that the water lever at the reservoir has now been reduced by more than three metres. Residents whove had to move from their homes are no longer able to return to collect possessions because police say the Emergency Services have to concentrate resources on securing the dam. Charlotte gallagher reports from Whaley Bridge. Is this the calm before the storm . Hard to believe this is still a dangerous situation, but as long as the threat remains, the work continues. Weve got 22 high volume pumps, ten of which are fire Service Pumps and another 12 were brought in from contractors. Our priority has always been to pump as much water out of the dam as possible because every bit of water we take out reduces the risk of the dam failing. Here, grout is being poured over the sand bags which were dropped onto the damaged section of the dam by raf chinook helicopters. It will help to stabilise the dam. Some People Living near the dam are feeling optimistic. Im no engineer so i dont know but im confident theyve got the better of it and i think the amount theyve got out of the reservoir now, i think even if they got a heavy rainstorm this afternoon, obviously some will go back in but i dont think it will go back into the levels that would bring it back up markedly. 1,500 people had to leave their homes in Whaley Bridge while last night 55 homes in horwich end were evacuated. There are also concerns for nearby marple. Even people who have been allowed to remain in their homes are finding it stressful. Were stranded. Theres little we can do. The driveway is full of emergency vehicles most of the time. We couldnt get out if we wanted to, let alone get back in. We are not going to leave because then we would have to find somewhere else to live. Even if the dam holds, it will be some time before the area is back to normal, and nobody will be able to relax until the predicted storm is over. Charlotte gallagher, bbc news. Borisjohnson has pledged £1. 8 billion in a one off funding boost for the nhs in england. The Prime Minister said it would go towards vital new kit and upgrades for 20 hospitals. Labour said it fell significa ntly short of the amount needed by the nhs and would not reverse years of cuts. Heres our political correspondentjessica parker. A pledge on entering office. And we start work this week with 20 new hospital upgrades and ensuring that the money for the nhs really does get to the front line. More detail, including which 20 hospitals will get specific upgrades, is expected imminently. But 1. 8 billion is less than the nhs in england spends on an average week, and Health Organisations say the bill to clear the nhs maintenance backlog is more like £6 billion. Our hospitals, the ceilings are collapsing in wards, sewage pipes are bursting, Cancer Patients are getting their diagnosis appointments cancelled because of old faulty equipment and it is because the tories have done these smash and grab raids on the investment budgets. This all has particular significance for boris johnson. That slogan on that bus during the referendum campaign. A spending commitment already made by his predecessor, theresa may, is designed to more than meet that amount, and the conservatives claim that sound management of the economy means that the cash is available. The Health Service is better funded now than ever before in its history. 1. 8 billion is not to be sniffed at. It is a significant commitment on top of what was already a very significant commitment to the nhs. Boris has made it clear the nhs is a priority. But with spending priorities, too, on the police, education and brexit preparations, some will suspect more borrowing is on the horizon. The Prime Minister may be willing to turn on the taps, but keeping the cash flowing isnt always so easy. Jessica parker, bbc news.

When we 1starrived it was at the top of the reservoir and looked unstable. There are divers at the top of the pipe. They said it would have to get to a certain level before engineers could look at that damage and then make a decision on when it is could get back into the main centre because some of them have been out of their business for a few days. Other people in the area can come and get information. The police will be there, the fire and rescue, the environment agency, and for lots of people, the question will be, when can we get back into our house is . For the moment, it seems they do not have an answer to that. We also heard from the police that a handful of people are staying inside their homes, inside the evacuation zone, and people say they are putting the lives of officers address, that are coming to check on them, because they are going to an area that is dangerous. The dam could burst. It isa dangerous. The dam could burst.

The revolutionary guards sepah news site said at the time that the ship was seized during naval patrols aimed at discovering and confronting organised smuggling. They said there were seven crew on board from different nationalities that have been detained. These pictures, claimed to be of the ship, were shown by irans english Language Press tv news channel, which is affiliated to state owned Islamic Republic of iran broadcasting. Last month, iran seized a british tanker in the gulf and allowed a second one to proceed after giving ita warning. Lets get more on the situation and growing concerns. Im joined now byjohn green, shipping expert and director of stella maris, which analyses shipping safety. This is the latest seizure of a tanker. What do you know about the details surrounding it . Very little. The vessel was seized on wednesday and this is one of our concerns, at the charity, that iran is not providing us with enough information. The nationalities of the crew, have they been accused of the crew, have they been accused of the crime of smuggling, and if so, why has evidence not been produced if those are the facts. More evidence is needed. When you say there are concerns about their welfare, what rights should seafarers have . What are the main concerns . Anyone detained in a far country should have due to legal representation and an interpreter and we are not getting these information and facts so one wonders, the crime they have been accused of, is that the case . Normally that would come from consular advice . Or they could go to their employerfor consular advice . Or they could go to their employer for those rights. Seafarers who are not in the strait of hormuz but now that i will be selling through it, what are they telling you . I was speaking to our porch chaplain in plymouth a few days ago and she said the families of some seafarers had got in contact to ask what route they were taking and its not only seafarers but their wives and children who are worried who will be next. What advice do you give them . The chaplaincy of stella marys around the world, we are here to give advice to seafarers to make sure they can be in touch with their employer and have contact with a union but our chaplains around the world listen and help them to defuse their worries and concerns. What did you make of those tv shots of the crew from the british flag stena impero . Seafarers are resilient professionals and are used to running huge valuable assets so they are used to stressful situations, we would be looking after what is in their best interests but at the back of their mind is what next . These seafarers are pawns caught up in the geopolitical prices south from the point of view of stella maris they should be sent home as soon as possible. John green, thank you.
