And coming up in sport, englands cricketers have a battle on their hands after another stunning century from australias steve smith, leaving the hosts chasing 398 in the first ashes test. Good morning and welcome to the bbc news at nine. President donald trump has said hate has no place in the United States after 29 people were killed in two Mass Shootings over the weekend. An attack on a Walmart Store in el paso, texas left 20 dead, while nine died in a shooting in dayton, ohio. Critics of the president have said he bears some responsbility, citing his anti immigrant rhetoric and opposition to gun control. Texas prosecutors say the el paso shooting is now being treated as a domestic terrorist case. A 21 year old man has been charged with capital murder, which means he could now face the death penalty. Peter bowes has more. Two Mass Shootings in one weekend. America is once again struggling with its response to gun violence. In el paso, a predominantly hispanic city on the texas border with mexico, 20 people were murdered when a gunman opened fire at a shopping mall. The suspect, 21 year old patrick crusius, is in custody. He is believed to have posted an online document calling the attack a response to the hispanic invasion of texas. Officials say the attack on saturday shoppers is being viewed as domestic terrorism, and the authorities are considering bringing hate crime charges. We are treating it as a domestic terrorism case, and were going to do what we do to terrorists in this country, which is deliver swift and certain justice. In dayton, ohio, nine people died when a student fired into a crowd outside a busy bar in the early hours of sunday. He was shot dead by the police, who were on the scene within seconds. The gunman, whose motives are not known, has been named as 24 year old connor betts. His 22 year old sister, megan, is among those who died. Assault style weapons were used in both attacks. Political reaction to the shootings has been swift. Several senior democrats blamed President Trump, in part because of the angry rhetoric he has used in the debate over immigration, and in clashes with ethnic minority members of congress. As the president left the newjersey golf club where he spent the weekend, he praised the response of Law Enforcement officials in el paso and dayton, and he promised action to stop Mass Shootings. Hate has no place in our country, and were going to take care of it. So darling, darling, stand by me. Mr trump said he would be making another statement on monday, but he gave no clue about how he would address the decades old problem of gun violence. A six year old boy is in a critical but stable condition after being thrown from a tenth floor balcony at the tate modern art gallery in london. A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Police say theres nothing to suggest that the 17 year old suspect knew the child. 0ur correspondentjon donnison is at the tate modern in Central London a real sense of shock here, many people just passing by on the way to work. Sunday afternoon, yesterday, the tate modern would have been incredibly busy. If we look up there you can see the tenth floor balcony with the black railing just below the top of the building, and the boy, reports that he was thrown from there, and then onto the central bit of the tate modern there. That has got to be a fall of at least 30 a0 metres. Police this morning are saying that he is in a critical but sta ble saying that he is in a critical but stable condition, and that his injuries are no longer considered life threatening. Well, one eyewitness who is actually a bbc reporter from the Russian Service of the bbc, she was there on that balcony with her four son when took place. I was standing on the balcony, if you can see it from here, on the tenth floor of the building. And at the moment, some moment, i saw the. I was one of my little son and at some moment, people started to push a child and there was a kind of a noise around and my first intention, as i was with a little child, was to move out of there, so we started to move towards the exit. And then i saw that woman who was running and shouting, my son, oh, my son. And she was crying desperately. Well, there was quite many people around and we were all trying to pack into the elevator. So, literally, we jumped with my kid into the lift and there was everybody shocked inside, because people were already. People already knew that the boy dropped down and everybody was discussing how could it happen. 0ne one of the things 0lga also said is that there are pretty high railings up that there are pretty high railings up there, maybe up to above waist tight, so it is really unimaginable that someone could accidentally fall off from that balcony. A 17 year old boy has been arrested and is being questioned on suspicion of attempted murder. A 15 Year Old Girl from the uk has gone missing while on holiday in malaysia. Nora quoirin who has learning difficulties, nora quoirin, who has learning difficulties, arrived in the town of seremban with her family on saturday for a two week trip of a lifetime. When her parents awoke on sunday morning, they found her missing and the window of her hotel room open. A charity, the Lucy Blackman trust, says its been told by local police that her disappearance is being treated as an abduction. 0ur correspondent Jonathan Head is inJonathan Head is in bangkok. Jonathan, i wonder what else the authorities have said . Nothing much, apart from the operation that they are mounting to try to find this missing girl. They have got around 160 officers from a range of different units, including special police units, civilian defence and volunteer units, and also local people, indigenous people, who know the forest well. This resort that she and her family were staying in is quite close to a reserve where there is primary tropicaljungle, so it would be quite difficult to search those areas, if that is where they think she has gone. Its pretty certain theyre considering the possible to have abduction, because her window was open and her family say that it is uncharacteristic of her to disappear like that so they are taking it very seriously. Beyond that, we are waiting for the authorities to give us any more information about any signs they may have seen of her or any indication at all that she was abducted, but we dont know at the moment, this is simplya dont know at the moment, this is simply a very large scale search for a missing person in an area that has quite remotejungle a missing person in an area that has quite remote jungle terrain. What more do we know about nora herself . Well, herfamily more do we know about nora herself . Well, her family say that she suffers from severe learning disabilities and would have some difficulty in communicating with anybody that she came across, which makes her especially vulnerable. She and her irish mother and french father and we believe two siblings arrived for a two week holiday at this resort just on arrived for a two week holiday at this resortjust on saturday, and she disappeared the first night. So, its understandable not just she disappeared the first night. So, its understandable notjust to be concerned, but also it does seem very unlikely that she would simply go and disappear into the jungle. Some flights have been cancelled at Heathrow Airport today, despite the suspension of a planned strike by workers. 37 of the days departures and arrivals were cancelled, or around 3 of all flights. Talks are resuming to try and avert a strike tomorrow by 2,500 workers over pay. An 89 year old woman has died after being assaulted in her north london home. Police have launched a Murder Investigation after the woman was found dead in tottenham yesterday morning.

Boris johson has promised £850 million to help with upgrades to outdated facilities and to pay for new equipment. The money has been earmarked for 20 hospitals, including a new women and Childrens Hospital in cornwall, four new wards in norwich and a new critical and intensive care block in luton. The funding pledge comes during a week of Health Policy announcements by the government and is part of the pms £1. 8 billion one off cash boost for nhs hospitals across england. Labours Shadow Health secretary says there was huge scepticism about whether the funding was new, while the charity the Health Foundation says that nhs facilities in england were in major disrepair, with a £6 billion maintenance backlog. Joining me now is the shadow secretary of state for health and social care, jonathan ashworth. Why are you so sceptical that this money isnt new, then . Well, youve got to remove that in recent years, tory ministers have launched a smash and grab raid on the nhs investment budgets, cutting over £4 billion from those budgets, which is why weve got hospitals today with ceilings falling in and wards evacuated, sewage pipes bursting, Cancer Patients who need diagnosis having their diagnosis appointments cancelled because of faulty equipment or seriously ill Mental Health patients at risk of suicide in old, dilapidated dormitory style wards because of these £4 billion worth of tory cuts. It has left our hospitals with a £6 billion repair bill, a big backlog. So this money todayis bill, a big backlog. So this money today is a drop in the ocean, if indeed it is new money. What we have heard overnight is that it looks like it is money that hospitals had already earned by cutting their costs, ministers told them they had got to cut back on their spending, and if they cut back on their spending, they would get new capital money. And then ministers blocked hospitals from spending that money. And it looks like borisjohnson has just simply lifted that block on spending. So im afraid it is beginning to look like it is a lot of spin from borisjohnson, and as usual, his playing fast and loose with the facts. Im interested in your phrase looks like. The Health Think Tank the kings fund say the money is new because if the treasury was not providing the money, and h trusts wouldnt be able to spend it, thats true, isnt it . But its like this. Say ive given you £50, and youve got £50 and then i say, youre not allowed to spend it, and then a year later, i say, you can spend it now. That is the kind of situation, its not new money on top, this is what hospitals had earned by cutting back on their costs, on meds bills or the money they were spending on staff. So its not new cash. That is why there is spin. But the fundamental point is this, whether the treasury say it is new money or not, tory ministers have cut the investment budgets by over £4 billion, which is why we have hospitals with a £6 billion repair bill, £3 billion worth of which is considered significant and high risk. Tory cuts literally putting patient care and indeed lives at risk every day. 0k, putting patient care and indeed lives at risk every day. Ok, so this could be your problem, if there is a general election, and you become health secretary, so what would you do . Well, at the last general election, we said we would be putting £10 billion extra into our capital info structure in our nhs. We think that our nhs needs something of that region, we will be spending more money on our National Health service than the tories are, but we have also got to deal with the staffing crisis. Today Boris Johnson is talking about new beds and equipment, but we need new staff to look after those beds, to use that equipment and yet we are short of 100,000 staff, were short of 40,000 nurses in the nhs. And the reason weve got this staffing crisis is because weve had years of a pay freeze which admittedly has now gone because of labour pressure but we are not training enough nurses and midwives for the future because the tories got rid of the bursary cant which helps people become a nurse or midwife. We would bring that bursary grant back so we can bring that bursary grant back so we ca n start bring that bursary grant back so we can start recruiting nurses and midwives and allied Health Professionals for the future. And quickly if you wouldnt mind, you say you would put in an extra £10 billion, where would that money come from . Well, weve been quite clear pocket prepared to put up tax for the richest in society, the richest, have seen big tax cuts, and Boris Johnson is promising even bigger tax cuts for the very, very wealthy in society, were saying that the richest should pay a little bit extra so we can fund our nhs, so we dont have to have 4. 4 Million People waiting for an operation, or we dont have to have over 30,000 people waiting beyond six weeks for a cancer diagnosis, for example, or we dont need to have our Mental Health services in absolute crisis, where children and young people are turned away from specialist Mental Health care even if their gp thinks they need it. We know we have got a crisis amongst Mental Health for our children and young people and we would put the money into deliver the quality of care patients deserve. Jonathan ashworth, we must leave it there. Thank you for your time. Lets now speak to our political correspondentjessica parker. So, jessica, can you clear this up, is this money new or not . Well, downing street are absolutely insisting that it is new money. I think it will be picked over over the next 24 hours by labour of course insisting, hospitals were put in this position where they werent allowed to spend some cash, now they are being given permission to spend it and therefore this amounts to a rather paltry offering because, of course, of the other side of it as well as that some nhs think tanks andindeed well as that some nhs think tanks and indeed the labour party have been saying that actually what is needed is not £1. 8 billion to help patch up leaky ceilings in hospitals and blocked a sewage pipes, £6 billion is in fact the bill here for nhs maintenance across the country. Borisjohnson i nhs maintenance across the country. Boris johnson i think nhs maintenance across the country. Borisjohnson i think trying to sell this as a big spending pledge, him coming good on the promises that we re coming good on the promises that were made in the 2016 referendum about putting more money into the nhs. But as we are hearing today, a lot of people, not particularly impressed by what is on offer. The headlines on bbc news. Us Officials Say a mass shooting in texas in which 20 were killed is a case of domestic terrorism. A six year old boy is in a critical but stable condition after allegedly being thrown from the tenth floor of the tate modern art gallery in london. Police in malaysia are treating the disappearance of the 15 year old british girl nora quoirin as abduction. In sport, england will need to bat all day if they want to save this and have against australia. Their nominal target is 398. Manchester city won the Community Shield at wembley, beating liverpool 5 4 on penalties, after the match itself had finished 1 1. In formula 1, Lewis Hamilton has a 62 points lead in the drivers championship after victory at the hungarian grand prix in budapest. I will be back with more sport after 9. 40. Hong kongs chief executive, carrie lam, has pledged to restore law and order, as pro democracy activists try to enforce a general strike by disrupting transport networks. Many Railway Services have been brought to a standstill by protestors standing in train doors, to prevent them from closing. And hundreds of flights have been delayed or cancelled at the airport due to the unrest. Vowing not to resign in the face of intensifying protests, carrie lam said increasingly violent demonstrations were pushing the city to the verge of a very dangerous situation. The great majority of hong kong people are now in a state of great anxiety. Some of them do not know whether they could still take some forms of public transport, while others are right now being blocked on the way to work. The government will be resolute in maintaining law and order in hong kong. 0ur asia correspondent is in hong kong for us. The situation seems to be escalating there . Well, certainly, it is tense in parts of hong kong, although not everywhere, however, you couldnt travel around this city without feeling the effects of the strike. Many, many shops are shut and as Small Businesses close either because the bosses in those businesses, or those who work in the shops are on strike in support of the pro democracy movement. This is normally a very bustling shopping district and most of the shops are actually closed. However that doesnt mean there are not people here. As you can see there are lots gathering, and there was dressed in black, especially the ones carrying the yellow posters, are marching in support of this strike. So, all over the city there are scenes like this. However there are also places where were seeing these street battles kicking off before the normal working day has even finished, if it was a normal working day. Teargas has been fired into residential districts in three areas, as people who live in those areas are clashing with riot police, including in one train station. So we are seeing tensions escalating here. We heard the leader of hong kong, carrie lam, saying she is going to restore order to this city, but there was no explanation in that press conference as to how she is going to bring that about. And so we are now in the third month of this political crisis, there is a lot of concern, sure, but i think amongst those who are anxious, and as we heard from the leader of this city, many of those still nevertheless support the pro democracy movement. You talk to taxidrivers and Small Businesses, they might not be coming out to the places they think are dangerous, they might have small children or elderly parents, doesnt mean theyre supporting their efforts to and it is surprising, the extent to which many sectors of this society are maintaining support for this push to somehow bring about genuine elections in hong kong. The chief executive of hsbc has stepped down after the bank said it needed a change in leadership to address a challenging global environment. John flint is giving up the role he has held for a year and a half by mutual agreement with the board. He will immediately cease his day to day responsibilities at hsbc, but will help with the transition as noel quinn takes over as interim chief executive. Dominic 0connell, our business presenter, is here. Dominic, this seems a slightly mysterious, what are hsbc saying, why has he gone . As you say, they are quitea why has he gone . As you say, they are quite a conservative bank, it is regarded as some sort of pillar of the establishment both in hong kong and china and here in the uk. Normally with cases like this you would expect some kind of gross misconduct to have happened, or he has been caught with his fingers in the till. That is clearly not the case, it is by mutual agreement, he will be treated as a good lever, which means he gets to keep most of his share options, and the bank only said that it needed to adapt to a changing global environment, which could mean absolutely anything. There is one fairly obvious explanation, although the bank is not saying anything, which is that he was installed by the previous regime at hsbc, he was groomed by stuart gulliver, who was a previous chief executive, he has been there for 30 years. There is a new chairman mike tucker and he might have just thought, i want my own man. That is an obvious but unstated explanation. You used that phrase which they used, a challenging global environment, and my right that their biggest market is china, and could that be a factor . It is, and could that be a factor . It is, and a lot of people have picked up on the huawei connection. Hsbcs biggest market is china and it has had brushes with the us authorities, and it has wanted to keep them onside. But its been widely imported that an hsbc internal investigation into huawei provided the chain of evidence to an iranians company which then allowed the us authorities to apply for the extradition of huaweis chief financial officer. So you can imagine that beijings seeing this would not have been best pleased with hsbc. So maybe, maybe, we dont know this, maybe john with hsbc. So maybe, maybe, we dont know this, maybejohn flint is the sacrificial lamb for keeping beijing onside. The authorities responsible for a damaged dam in derbyshire believe at least two more days of pumping are needed to get the water to a safe level. More than 1,500 people have been evacuated from Whaley Bridge. Officers have criticised some residents who have refused to leave, saying they are putting their lives and those of the Emergency Services, at risk. 0ur reporter sam fenwick is in whaley 0ur reporter is in Whaley Bridge. As you can see and hear behind me, the pumps are working away to channel water away from the reservoir and into a neighbouring field as a catchment area. They have been pumping away throughout the night and been pumping away throughout the nightand in been pumping away throughout the night and in the days before that as well. To show you how successful they have been, the water levels in they have been, the water levels in the reservoir have dropped so far by more than half. But there is still a way to go, it has got to get down to 2596, it way to go, it has got to get down to 25 , it has got to be low enough so that the engineers can go in and inspect the damage to the dam. So it could be another couple of days of pumping in order to reduce those water levels. So, residents are not yet able to return to their homes, and adoption beliefs have concerns about the fact that there are still some residents in the evacuation zone, some ina high risk area, who are refusing to leave. Weve got a small number of people, 22 people, who have remained in their houses, some of them have beenin in their houses, some of them have been in there from the start, some of them have gone back and stayed there. And there is no support from other local residents for those actions that they have done. Where are those people full theyre still in their houses. Where are their houses in the evacuation zone. Some of them in the most highest risk area. But all of it is in the evacuation zone, which means we think their lives are at risk. We said we have lost 2. 5 metres in the last 24 hours, we need to get down another three metres. If we are losing 2. 5 metres every two hours, does that suggest that weve got another 24 hours worth of pumping to go full that is something the residents really want to know, when they can go home. We have got a number of factors involved, the mitigation we have put around the reservoir to stop more water coming and also needs to hold up. But we are making progress ahead of schedule. Im really hopefulthat are making progress ahead of schedule. Im really hopeful that we will get to the point where the engineercan will get to the point where the engineer can assess the Structural Integrity of the dam which will hold the remaining water back, today i am hoping they can have a look at it so that we can really start looking forward and saying, how can we get residents back and when will it be safe . So, as you heard there, the work going on here is ahead of schedule, thanks in part to the fact that this area escaped the heavy rain and storms that were forecast. There were some showers overnight but nothing like what had been expected and so they were able to make a lot more progress than anticipated. However there is still anticipated. However there is still a lot more pumping to go and residents havent been told yet when it will be safe to return home so many of them are spending yet another night away from home. But if the conditions hold out, it could be just a couple more days before things potentially return to normal. The vicar of two churches in the local parish there has been evacuated from her house in Whaley Bridge. Shejoins us now from our studio in salford. Thank you so much for joining studio in salford. Thank you so much forjoining us. I wondered, studio in salford. Thank you so much forjoining us. Iwondered, have studio in salford. Thank you so much forjoining us. I wondered, have you ppped forjoining us. I wondered, have you popped back to your home, have you been allowed to, and how nervous did you feel . Yes, i was able to pop back to my house on friday evening, andi back to my house on friday evening, and i was quite pleased because one of the things that i had to rescue was my granddaughters hamster, which i did. But i did feel very scared. It is a very scary situation, and i wasjust scared. It is a very scary situation, and i was just really pleased to get out of it again. I just grabbed essential things, really. It has made me think, you know, at the end of the day, positions arent that important. Its positions arent that important. Its lives that really matter. Positions arent that important. Its lives that really matter. It does make you think, doesnt it, if you have a few minutes, what are the essential things you actually take . What about those people who refused to leave their homes, have you spoken to them and i wonder what other member is of the community are feeling about them . Other member is of the community are feeling about them . other member is of the community are feeling about them . I think that the feeling about them . I think that the feeling of the community is that they are foolhardy. There is no doubt that weve not been advised to leave our homes for no reason. It is a very dangerous situation and they are not only putting their own lives at risk but they are risking the lives of people who will go into try to help them. So i would really urge them to leave. 0bviously to help them. So i would really urge them to leave. Obviously its difficult for me to be in touch with them because i am not allowed into them because i am not allowed into the area myself. So we just hope that they will see sense. 0bviously this situation seems to be improving, but we dont really know. And people have to heed what weve been told to do. You held a special service i think yesterday, i wondered what people are saying to you, and how would you describe the mood . I suppose on the one hand, people are grateful because theyre safe, but it must be a very disquieting time for everyone . Safe, but it must be a very disquieting time for everyone . M is. Weve no idea, really, when we can get home. But i think its worrying for the community because businesses are closed and therefore livelihoods are at risk, i think. And that really does concern us. But there was a real feeling of a community feel about our service yesterday. There were only three of us yesterday. There were only three of us who were actually not able to be in ourown us who were actually not able to be in our own homes, but there was a real feeling of us all being together and i think that that was really, really important.

Hello, this is bbc news with rebecca jones. The headlines. Vigils take place for the victims of two Mass Shootings in the us. In texas, 20 people were killed in whats being treated as a case of domestic terrorism. A six year old boy is in a critical but stable condition after allegedly being thrown from the tenth floor of the tate modern art gallery in london. Police in malaysia are treating the disappearance of the 15 year old british girl nora quoirin as abduction. The government pledges £850 million for 20 nhs hospitals in england but critics warn it wont be enough. India says its revoking the special status of kashmir amid heightened tensions with pakistan. Lets stay with that story and the situation in kashmir, our correspondent Yogita Limaye is in delhi. Shejoins us now. What are she joins us now. What are the implications of all of this . This was an article in the indian constitution, 370, which basically gave the region of kashmir in India Special status. It was a promise made at the time of partition. Kashmir was a Princely State which was disputed by both india and pakistan, and india made a promise to the region of kashmir that if it became a part of the union of india, it would always have a special status, essentially it was allowed to have its own constitution, its own flag and independent on most matters except defence, external affairs and communications. A part of this article also gave the government of the region the right to identify who are the permanent residents of the region, and special privileges they had was that only they could buy land and property in they could buy land and property in the area. The politics of this is interesting because this is indias only muslim majority state, and people who are opposed to revoking this article say that it is the ruling partys agenda, which is a hindu party, to change the demographic of the region. Thank you for the update. Time now for the morning briefing, where we bring you up to speed on the stories people are watching, reading and sharing. 1500 residents in the derbyshire town of Whaley Bridge have spent a fourth night away from their homes. They were evacuated on thursday night after heavy rain damaged a dam above the town. Over the weekend, a small number of families were allowed back forjust 15 minutes to pick up vital belongings. Sam fenwick reports. This weekend, carly is getting married. Everything was going to plan until her and her fiance were evacuated. On saturday, they were allowed back home to gather some of their belongings. Worryingly, we was told if the siren started going, get into the car and drive, but we had to rescue some animals, a lot of stuff because were getting married next saturday for the wedding, so the suits, et cetera, those kind of things, all the things on the table, the wedding dress. So it was a little bit chaotic. It was the most frantic 15 minutes of my life. Have you got everything you need . Not yet, no. No, weve got lots of things still there. The Emergency Services are working around the clock to make sure carly gets to the church on time. Thats fantastic. Keep up the good work, cheers. Its been a massive logistical task, putting in place all the pipes and hoses. As you can see, they run all the way round here down the side. And down here. You can see the water finally being discharged out there. And its discharging at quite a rate, isnt it . We are losing, all being well, about 100mm every hour. We are making some significant progress on this so im hoping the end is going to come sooner rather than later. But the uncertainty is starting to take its toll. Its heartbroken because when you look at the village, its empty. When we open the door, its empty. 0ur beautiful flowers in a vase, they are dead. The last time casa de pizza was open was on thursday night and since then, the business has lost hundreds of pounds. Ijust cry every time but it doesnt help, you just have to move on. Hundreds of thousands of litres of water have already been pumped out of the reservoir and the crews here are hoping that people will be able to return home soon. Weve got pumps working on this side and on the opposite side now so it is working. The water levels are lowering. Thankfully the rain hasnt come yet, even though its forecast. That will stay away or it will be less than we had forecast. As long as we can pump out more than comes in, we are moving in the right direction, hopefully. For carly and dan, that cant come soon enough. Its a bit tense, isnt it . There is plenty of room, plenty of room but its just that everyone is cramped, everyone is getting a little bit fidgety because we cant get anywhere, all the roads are closed, nobody can sort of move, go to see anybody else so itsjust, nobody can really do anything. Getting a little bit of cabin fever cause its literally sort of on our own. I think we can get out but once we get out, they wont be letting us back in.

That is it for the briefing this morning. Sport now and for a full round up from the bbc sport centre, heres holly. Englands cricketers will resume their 2nd innings on 13 without loss on the final day of the 1st ashes test against australia with the visitors setting them a target of 398 runs. 0ur correspondentjoe wilson is at edgbaston. A tough task for england today . Absolutely, the first thing to say and probably the most important thing to say, we have sunshine in this part of birmingham. And clear skies, and that will suit australia. They need to have as much play as possible to try and get the ten english wickets today, and win a test match. The target to win for england, 398, its purely theoretical. What they have to do in reality is defend, bat out the day and escape from this test match with and escape from this test match with a draw. So they have to have a mindset this morning of discretion and restraint, i dont think they can be completely defensive but put yourself in the shoes of jason roy this morning. New test match cricket, normally when it is white full cricket, he will go out there and think, i will face 60 balls, score 75 runs. Today england need him to face 200 balls and stay in. We have to talk about steve smith. Some conspiracies being made to the likes of don bradman, comparisons being made to sir don bradman, that is the impact he has had. Bradmans record in any sport is outstanding, he was so much better than anyone else. In 1930 when bradman toured england, he scored 974 runs on that series. England thought we had to devise a whole new tactic to deal with don bradman, that led to the body line series which was the most controversial thing in cricket until the sandpaper came along. England will already start to think, what is our tactic again steve smith for the rest of the series . In a nutshell, it will be jofra archer. There was no home champion at the womens british open after both charley hull and bronte law fell away on the final round. Hulls been playing on her home course of woburn this week but couldnt keep pace with the leaders yesterday. But there was a thrilling finish as a brilliant birdie on the 18th from japans Hinako Shibuno saw her win her maiden major title. Remarkably its the first tournament the 20 year old has played outside her home country. Lewis hamilton can relax on his Summer Holidays after extending his lead in the formula one drivers championship to 62 points. He overtook red bulls Max Verstappen with just three laps to go to win the hungarian grand prix. The sport now takes a four week break, with nine races left when they return at the end of the month. Manchester city won the seasons curtain raiser, the Community Shield with a penalty shoot out win over liverpool. The match finished 1 1 after 90 minutes. Raheem sterling had put city ahead with his first goal against his former club, but with 13 minutes left, joel matip got liverpools equaliser. That sent the game straight to penalties, where gabrieljesus scored the crucial kick. City winning 5 4 on spot kicks. City won this trophy last season too and then went onto win in the scottish premiership there were wins for aberdeen and rangers but the latters game at kilmarnock was overshadowed by the collapse of a roof under which disabled fans were sitting. A last minute header by Connor Goldson secured a 2 1win for the ibrox side and sparked a pitch invasion. A section of the roof then caved in and one man was injured. Police scotland and kilmarnock are investigating. Lets have a look at some of this mornings back pages where the ashes is dominating. The telegraph has the man whos made the difference for australia, steve smith whose second century has brought comparisons to sir don bradman, the greatest batsman of all time pictured on the right.

Us Officials Say a mass shooting in texas in which 20 people were killed is a case of domestic terrorism. A six year old boy is in a critical but stable condition after allegedly being thrown from the tenth floor of the tate modern art gallery in london. Genetic relation officials tell the bbc that hundred and 50 people are in charge of the search for the missing girl nora quoirin. Malaysia and police tell the bbc. Lets get more now on the Mass Shootings in america. President donald trump has said hate has no place in the us after 29 people were killed and dozens more injured. However theres been concern about far right radicalisation after a White Supremacy manifesto was posted online, 28 minutes before police in el paso, where the first shooting took place, got the first call. Lets speak now to professor Raphael Cohen almagor. Hes the director of the middle east study group at Hull University and author of confronting the internets dark side. Thank you forjoining us, professor. The first question, has there been, in your view, sufficient focus on far right terrorism . Well, it has beenin far right terrorism . Well, it has been in the news for a long time. Whether something tangible was a chilly done to confront the problem, i feel not. I fear not because the United States is the land of the first and the second amendment, and under the first moment you can hate anybody you want to. So there is legitimacy for hate, and when this is increasing in volume and size, you see this result. There has been focus on websites, online forums. Does action need to be taken on this . It is not only the United States, it is also the united kingdom. The uk government has been studying this issue and should impose sanctions on isps, Internet Service providers, when they facilitate hate. There is a strong link between hate crime and hate speech, and since 2011, the terror attacks in oslo, we see a strong link between hate crime and terrorism. All governments should do something about it, there should be responsibility. You raises some important points, tell us a little bit more about what you think the links are specifically. One thing i have studied, people who go on shooting sprees, they need to vent. They cant just shooting sprees, they need to vent. They cantjust go to the pub and say, im going to kill someone. Theyve got to say to someone who is going to listen to them and support them. So there are a few sites they can vent those feelings and say, im going to kill. If security looks at that, there is a chance to avert some of these incidents. There is one thing that the police can do about hate sites. If you look at the terms of conduct of many internet providers, they would say, were not going to be privy to hatred, racism and incitement that they actually are. Until now it has been speech without responsibility, and they should be accountable. What the wider context . In which the government operated . Im thinking about the use of inflammatory language perhaps by politicians, what is your view of President Trumps rhetoric . What is your view of President Trumps rhetoric . I have been following the United States presidency for the past 30 years. I have never seen anything like this, President Trump. I think that President Trump. I think that President Trump. I think that President Trump does not understand the power of the word, the power of his tweets. In the same way when it comes to politics, his own politics to be elected, he doesnt understand that this kind of language, this kind of rhetoric, mexican invaders, calling them all kinds of names, its actually galvanised the nation. And in this kind of atmosphere, what you need is to unite and relax not foment. And the president ferments more hatred. We are grateful for your thoughts and insights, thank your thoughts and insights, thank you forjoining us. Government sources have again been playing down the possibility that a no deal brexit can be stopped by parliament. The Prime Minister borisjohnson has insisted since he got the keys to number ten that the uk is ready to leave without an agreement, unless eu leaders agree to renegotiate. But this morning liberal democrat mp chuka umunna has said businesses in the uk will not be ready for a no deal exit until 2021. Lets talk to mr umunna now, he is of course a former shadow business secretary for labour who left the party before joining the lib dems. We are grateful for your time, thanks forjoining us. Can you explain a little bit more to me, whats the basis of your claim that business will not be ready until 2021 . The basis of the claim are the figures that we have forced the treasury to produce, to show whether or not our exporters to the European Union will be ready in the event that we leave the European Union without a deal in october. There are 245,000 businesses that currently export just to the 245,000 businesses that currently exportjust to the eu. 0f 245,000 businesses that currently exportjust to the eu. Of course, they have lots of other businesses in their supply chains and in aggregate they provide a huge number ofjobs in our aggregate they provide a huge number of jobs in our country. Aggregate they provide a huge number ofjobs in our country. In orderfor them to continue exporting in the event that we were to leave the European Union without a deal, to continue exporting to the European Union, they need to have registered and gota union, they need to have registered and got a special number. Less then three in ten of those businesses are currently registered, and if they register at that current rate, they will not see all of the businesses registered until the beginning of 2021. So you have a situation where british businesses are not being able to trade as they have at the moment and are going to be subject toa moment and are going to be subject to a lorry load of red tape and form filling and the rest of it, to be able to continue operating and that is the reality of no deal for them. You have campaigned vigorously against no deal. In simple terms, is there anything now that parliament can do to stop a no deal brexit . There anything now that parliament can do to stop a Nodeal Brexit . The first thing to say is any form of brexit will damage our economy. We liberal democrats dontjust want brexit will damage our economy. We liberal democrats dont just want to stop no deal, we want to stop brexit altogether. Yes there are the means for parliament, so long as it is sitting before october 31, to be able to stop the country leaving the European Union without a deal and in simple terms that would involve Parliament Passing a law that illegally obliges the government to request an extension to the article 50 process so that if there is not a deal on the 31st of october, and it looks highly unlikely, we continue to stay in the eu until the matter has been resolved. Parliament has the means to do that as long as it is sitting and it will be sitting up until that point. You will be aware that Dominic Cummings, a senior aide to the Prime Minister borisjohnson, has said that opposition politicians like you have missed their chance to stop a no deal brexit. Youre saying thats absolutely not true . Stop a no deal brexit. Youre saying thats absolutely not true . You have to disaggregate the issue of whether parliament can stop a no deal brexit from the issue of whether parliament can pass a vote of no confidence in the government precipitating a general election. In respect of whether or not through defeating the government on a confidence vote, parliament can precipitate an election in the 31st of october, we are in uncharted territory are Something Like that happens. I believe it would still be possible to precipitate a general election before the 31st of october but if that doesnt happen, certainly within the first week of parliament returning and second september, gets more difficult, it gets slightly separate to the issue that if parliament is sitting and Dominic Cummings is right and you cannot precipitate a general election, whether in that situation parliament has the means to stop us leaving without a deal and it certainly does have that. The problem that Dominic Cummings and the Prime Minister borisjohnson cummings and the Prime Minister Boris Johnson have got cummings and the Prime Minister borisjohnson have got is this. Yes, there was a vote in 2016 on whether or not the uk should leave the union and 30 30 of registered electors voted but there was no vote on the form of brexit and they continually ignored the fact that there was a general election in 2017 when Boris Johnsons predecessor theresa may put the prospect to a hard brexit, which is softer than a no deal brexit, but a hard brexit to the british people and promptly lost the majority. They keep ignoring that fa ct. Majority. They keep ignoring that fact. Unless they recognise the parliamentary arithmetic is not there for their kind of brexit. I dont see how we can move forward as a country. This is why it should go back to the people as a referendum. Sorry to interrupt you, we have to go straight to the weather.
