Liaising officers have been appointed to the cases. Our thoughts are with the families of those who are injured, including oui of those who are injured, including our colleague, the office that that was injured. This incident is not being treated as terrorism and our investigation is continuing into the circumstances. There is no why dont risk it to the public, but the street remains closed and people should avoid the area. Does my quick no wider risk. The crown office at has instructed the Police Investigations and review Commission Act investigate. Thank you for your time. Thank you. So, very short and sweet that from police in scotland. We are able to confirm then that six men are in hospital aged 17, 18, 20, 38 and 53. Ali2 year old officer who was at first on the scene is in a critical but stable condition having been stabbed. The important thing to say, although we do not know what the motive for this attack was, is that it the motive for this attack was, is thatitis the motive for this attack was, is that it is not being treated as a terrorist incident which is important in mind of the terrorist incident that took place in reading last weekend. It looks like the investigation is heading in a different way. Six people have been injured in an attack at a hotel in glasgow with the suspect shot dead by police. It happened earlier this afternoon at the Park Inn Hotel in the city centre. The six injured people are being treated in hospital. One of them is a Police Officer, who is said to be in a Critical Condition. Amid confusion and panic, armed police entered the Park Inn Hotel in Glasgow City Centre. During lockdown, it has been home to some of the citys Asylum Seekers. One, who wanted it to remain anonymous, described what he saw. Who wanted it to remain anonymous, described what he sawlj who wanted it to remain anonymous, described what he saw. I was worried and came down to check what was going on because i was worried and came down to check what was going on because they heard screams. I saw two of them got stabbed and a Police Officer was bleeding. It is kind of scary but the only thing you can do in this kind of situation is to stay calm. Please scotland said one person was shot dead by armed police. Police scotland. Six other people were taken to hospital, including a Police Officer who is in a critical but stable condition. Including a Police Officer who is in a critical but stable conditionlj heard a critical but stable condition. heard people from the hotel, a couple of people had been stabbed and everywhere was full of blood, the left and the corridor. Scotlands first minister said the events were truly dreadful. This is a situation that has undoubtably shaken glasgow today and scotland, but the police have dealt with it that there is no ongoing threat to the public and the assessment is that it the public and the assessment is thatitis the public and the assessment is that it is not a terrorist incident. That said, there are six individuals ina that said, there are six individuals in a Critical Condition as a result of injuries they have sustained and all of our thoughts and good wishes should be with them. Others paid tribute to the Emergency Services. The circumstances that were horrific and what they have had to do with has been exceptionally brave. The motive for the stabbings is being investigated. There is no danger to other members of the public. Joining me now is Patrick Harvie who is the co leader of the scottish green party. We just heard from stevejohnson who confirmed it is not, as far as they are aware, a terrorist incident. That must be some relief in what has been a terrible afternoon in glasgow . Yes, that is obviously reassuring, but everyone ats thoughts are obviously still with eve ryo ne thoughts are obviously still with everyone who has been affected. We know there are people seriously injured and we will all be wishing them well and thanking everyone in them well and thanking everyone in the Emergency Services who responded to this really shocking event which i think will be leaving people with a long memory of today and a deeply distressing time for everyone involved. Clearly, we have to be careful because we do not know the motive or the relationship between the man who was shot dead and those who have been sadly injured, but we do understand that there were a number of Asylum Seekers being held 01 number of Asylum Seekers being held or being put up in this hotel while their own accommodation was being refurbished. Do you know why last weekend there were protests in the city about their treatment . Is their frustration within the Asylum Community in glasgow . Well, obviously without getting internet speculation about any kind of connection, what we cannot say as glasgow is a city with a long and proud history of welcoming refugees and Asylum Seekers and glasgow is also a city where there has been a strong desire to treat refugees and asylu m strong desire to treat refugees and Asylum Seekers with decency. That has not always been the case in the uk asylum has not always been the case in the u k asylu m system has not always been the case in the uk asylum system and in particular the private Outsource Companies that now provide accommodation and support services have regularly come Infor Support Services have regularly come in for criticism for some of the decisions that they have made. The Current Situation for the last few months in the context of this Public Health crisis that everyone has been trying to deal with is clearly well short of adequate for the way that asylu m short of adequate for the way that Asylum Seekers have been treated and i think most people in glasgow want oui i think most people in glasgow want our city and country to be able to do that to a higher standard than the uk has so so far allowed. The opportunity here has to be to make sure that we are expressing our condolences to those who have been affected, our concern for their recovery, but also to make sure we continue to be the warm, friendly and welcoming a city that glasgow is proud to have been. That must not end with an incident like this. Absolutely. Keeping in mind we do not know the motive and circumstances, can i just not know the motive and circumstances, can ijust pick up on some of the things you said that are you pointing to the fact that during the lockdown, Asylum Seekers that obviously always have anxiety because of the circumstances they are in, have perhaps been left to their own devices more than they ordinarily would because of the lockdown . Look, even before the date they would have been very different perspectives on why people have been left for so long in Hotel Accommodation and what level of support they have been given. We know that many of them have been dissatisfied with that treatment and we re dissatisfied with that treatment and were given little notice about being moved from proper accommodation in to what should be a temporary measure like hotels. But the positive agenda that i think exists across positive agenda that i think exists a cross m ost positive agenda that i think exists across most of the political spectrum and most of the community in glasgow is that we want this to bea in glasgow is that we want this to be a welcoming and a warm and a friendly place for people who live here as well as the people who come here as well as the people who come here through the asylum system, however long they stay and we hope that they will have the chance to stay. An event like this is shocking to be court, but glasgow has come through difficult times before. Mike shocking to the core. Before, they helicopter crashed into a pub, there were deaths as a result, a bin lorry going out of control, again, right in the city centre, just a few days before christmas, and before that, glasgow has had its problems with violence. We have been very successful in reducing violence in the city centre and right throughout the city centre and right throughout the city centre and right throughout the city and glasgow has been a strong place. It has come through difficult times before and i think we will again and we will face down all of any of those who try and exploit the situation to peddle misinformation and we will continue to be that warm, welcoming city weather in relation to our Asylum Seeker community or anyone else. Our sympathies set everyone in glasgow affected this afternoon. In the us, the number of people who have been infected with coronavirus could be far higher than originally thought. The official number of cases across the country currently stands atjust over 2. 4 Million People thats about one quarter of all the confirmed cases worldwide. But the center for Disease Control says as many as 20 million americans could have been infected, nearly ten times the number of confirmed cases. That estimate is based on blood samples collected from across the country. It comes as the us is seeing a rise in the number of cases nationally, although many states still have the virus under control. Mike pence said an increase in cases across 16 states there are currently focusing on risks reversing the progress made so far. Seeing overall cases are dropped from 30,000 a day average in april to 25,000 a day average in april to 25,000 a day average in april to 25,000 a day average in may, the first few weeks ofjune average in may, the first few weeks of june actually saw average in may, the first few weeks ofjune actually saw cases averaging roughly 20,000 new cases a day. We now have seen cases begin to rise precipitously across the south. Let me shoot the live where the press co nfe re nce let me shoot the live where the press conference is going on. The doctor behind is wearing a face mask. Let me show you the life press co nfe re nce. Mask. Let me show you the life press conference. This present trump macri has been very vocal about people wearing masks. President trump. Yes, he emphasised the guidelines and these talks about people doing their bit and social distancing, he did not take masks, but he did say ppe, which i think is practically another name for masks. Not quite the anti mask message from the Vice President , though he has got into trouble a couple of times himself at the going to facilities, including a hospital at one stage, without wearing a mask, for which he apologised. Some of the other highlight is worth noting, they are saying about half of the new cases they are seeing in these spiking areas for people under 35 offer people under 35, which is a cleared of element in the way things are changing, and they do think the positivity rates in 16 of these states is also going up. In other words, they are testing more and he repeated President Trump macros line that testing generally creates more cases, but he then acknowledged that positivity rates are coming back from the castings was also on the rise on what he calls the sunbelt which is florida, texas and arizona. He said that this moment is different from the situation they faced months ago. You rightly point out that he is obviously highlighting the death rate, which is decreasing, but as you point out, the number of hospitalisations, positive cases, that is going up in the 16 states and that has implications, doesnt it, for all of the United States . Yes, it does. It is worth pointing out that the positivity, the tests are coming out positive, and this is what they will say to you, are rising, but they are not rising state wide in a kind of a com pletely not rising state wide in a kind of a completely generic way. You do not ta ke completely generic way. You do not take the whole of florida, they will point out to you that the double digit positive returns on tests are only in about 3 of us counties. There are a lot of counties in the United States, but that is dozens and dozens and dozens of counties, but it is not uniform, even across the states that are reporting these rises. That is true and that is why they are arguing that these are sort of flare ups if you like rather than the start of a new, massive away. That is what they are hoping and they have just been showing some charts in the briefing and pointing out, this is deborah who was never off our televisions for those few weeks, has not been seen for a while, pointing out that the steep rise that took place if you look at the graphs when new york was getting really bad, that that kind of rise is not the same as the rice thatis of rise is not the same as the rice that is happening now. Even though we are at this 40,000 figure a day. For the moment, thank you very much. Do stay with us, we are going to be speaking to the former us secretary of defence in the next hour it here on bbc world news we will get more thoughts. Coming up, still waiting to hit dry land. We believe that according to international law, that we have a rightful claim to certain parts of this country. I take pride in the words.

In many ways, they are the forgotten victims of the coronavirus pandemic the eighty thousand cruise ship workers who remain stuck at sea. Countries have effectively been able to make their own rules about whether to let them get off often leaving them stuck in a floating limbo. Many of the stranded ships are off the west coast of the us from where sophie long reports. With no gas to look after and insane, they did their best to keep things shipshape. Just like guests. Husband and wife team nick and karen love ships. They met on a ship and got married on a ship. No more pay, we will be staying here as guests. But after they were laid off, even they found things increasingly difficult. There was a plan for ships to start sailing people home but our ship would not be able to join. We are taking our bags they finally made it home to edinburgh, but their thoughts are with those still on board. The thing that is making it harder for them still on board. The thing that is making it harderfor them i think is the amount of time. We got home after two months and that was on make the 14th. It is now more than a month later and there are still people stuck not knowing when they are coming home. That is exactly what thousands are still going through. Morrissey and crew have been astounded on board for more than a hundred days. Narration crew. They said they are doing all they can end the government is letting them down. He would not expect the government to treat us like that. We want to make life a bit more easy and give a better life for ourfamily so bit more easy and give a better life for our family so the hardest part is that every time you have a day to leave and then it has been cancelled so you need to have. And we do not even know when we can leave. Many confined to small cabins are finding it increasingly difficult to cope. It is really causing an extreme humanitarian crisis because Mental Health on board continues to decline. There have been eight suicides at sea and we talked to a lot of crew members who are struggling with Mental Health concerns, struggling with Mental Health concerns, depression, anxiety. For yea rs, concerns, depression, anxiety. For years, brazilian dj love that leading crew parties. Now after three months trapped on board, he says he will never set foot on a ship again. They need to take care about the Mental Health. They need to have psychologists there. They do not have psychologists there. They do not have psychiatrist there. The party is over. Tens of thousands of crew, for them, the ordeal is not.

That meant, without taking another ball, liverpool have finally done it. Champions of europe and the world and out champions of the uk, too.

First time it way to win the title. First time it has happened in june, way to win the title. First time it has happened injune, but they have done what they needed to do on wednesday night, thrashing at crystal palace. Last nights defeat for Manchester City meant liverpool when the title with a record of seven games to spare. Lockdown had only delayed the inevitable. 30 weeks, it was that in long weeks with uncertainty and a lot of our fa ns with uncertainty and a lot of our fans had to wait 30 years, so it is a short time for dot net 13 weeks as it isa a short time for dot net 13 weeks as it is a short time compared to what they had to wait. I hope you enjoy their night and we are certainly going to enjoy our night. After all the dominance of the 70s and 80s, the dominance of the 70s and 80s, the first since 1990 and since the premier league was formed. In the three decades since, Kenny Dalglishs team triumphed, liverpool have spent nearly one half billion pounds on players, tried seven different managers including dalglish again, before finally attempting Juergen Klopp from germany five years ago. He has slowly been building a new empire. His new champions 23 points clear of a Manchester City team widely regarded as one of the best of the premier league has ever seen you just pipped liverpool by a point last year. We have proven that we are fuelled by disappointment and learning and going again the next year and learning and going again the next yearandi learning and going again the next yearand i am learning and going again the next year and i am sure the hunger will stay there and we didnt keep being successful. The fans have waited so long and you know how much it means and it is absolutely massive, so to get over the line and win this it is huge. We know how much they have been waiting at how much they wanted it. The way liverpool have dominated the season, cutting their rivals aside means that this already looks like the start of a new era of dominance at anfield. It seems like this could become common. It seems like this. Many congratulations to liverpool and jurgen klopp. He has blamed the new generation gang.

I am shocked and saddened like everyone will be by the events that unfolded in glasgow today. First and foremost my thoughts are with the six individuals that have been injured in this incident and are receiving treatment in hospital for their injuries. That includes a Police Officer and i am advised that the condition of the Police Officer is critical but stable, but i want to send my best wishes to all of those who are being treated in hospital and of course to their families.

The entry of a Police Officer of because it reminds us Police Officer of because it reminds us of the bravery of that service and they run towards danger, as the rest of us would run away and i want to express my thanks to the police to express my thanks to the police to what appears to me to be very calm and professional way they responded to this incident and undoubtedly assured that a serious incident did not become much worse. I want to thank all of the Emergency Services because they all will have contributed to the responses have been in. Investigations are ongoing and the police have just confirmed their clinic at the police are not treating this as a terrorist incident, but i would urge the public not to share information that is unconfirmed. This is a serious situation and none of us needs to make it worse by sharing speculative information. I became aware after having given the daily update for the credit situation. That i coronavirus situation but i have had updates from the justice secretary and spoken directly with each customer and the information i am able to chat with you is information that has been shared with me by the chief constable. I have had a conversation, every conversation with the Prime Minister this afternoon he wanted to obviously ex presses afternoon he wanted to obviously expresses concern and his sympathies to those who have been caught up in this incident. This has been a dreadful afternoon for the city of glasgow, particularly for those who have been directly involved, those injured and also people who witnessed this afternoon, particularly in the location of this incident, quite horrific events, and i think incident, quite horrific events, and ithinki incident, quite horrific events, and i think i will not be alone across scotla nd i think i will not be alone across scotland tonight in thinking of everybody who has in any way been affected by what unfolded. Of course, people are worried and yes people have an understanding of the location and what that location has been used for in recent times, but beyond that, i do not think it is helpful for people to speculate. Clearly there have been at some tensions in glasgow, as there have beenin tensions in glasgow, as there have been in other parts of the uk in recent times, but i want to send a message to people across glasgow and across scotland, when a dreadful things like this happen, they shock all of us to our court, but above all, they should remind us of what unites us and is not what divides us. Glasgow is my home, the city i live in, that i represent part of the scottish parliament. The people of glasgow are wonderful people and iam of glasgow are wonderful people and i am short tonight there will be a sense of coming together in the city of glasgow. And all of us reminding us of glasgow. And all of us reminding us of what unite us as human beings. The whole world is going through a tough and traumatic time at the moment and this is an opportunity and it time to think of each other and it time to think of each other and the care we owe each other and thatis and the care we owe each other and that is why i think every decent person across glasgow will be doing that this evening.
