live from london, this is bbc news. the bbc understands indian—owned tata steel is to push ahead with plans to close both blast furnaces at its port talbot works in south wales. the move is expected to lead to the loss of up to 3,000 jobs. pakistan carries out strikes on what it calls nurses, teachers and civil servants are among tens of thousands walking out over pay in northern ireland's biggest ever strike. a report into the deadly valley school shooting in texas in 2022 has criticised the police response to the attack describing it as a failure —— uvalde. this is the scene live in uvalde, where we are expecting to hear from the us attorney general. we will bring that to you as soon as it begins.

pakistan carries out strikes on what it calls "terrorist hideouts" in iran's border province days after iranian attacks on pakistan. the prince of wales has visited his wife in hospital where she is recuperating from abdominal surgery. hello, iam hello, i am rajini vaidyanathan. hello, iam rajini vaidyanathan. we come on air as our zamora net breaking news that has been developing throughout the afternoon —— we come on air with more on that. the bbc understands that the steel giant tata is to press ahead with plans to close its two blast furnaces at its biggest plant, port talbot in south wales. the move threatens more than 3,000 jobs, most of which could go by the end of this year. leaders of three unions met tata senior management in london today and presented alternative proposals, aimed at saving jobs. tata has instead decided to press ahead with plans for a greener form of steel—making.

stephen kinnock, labour mp for aberavon, home of the port talbot steelworks, said the move would mean britain becoming more dependent on imported steel. live now to theo leggett, our business correspondent. he is in our london newsroom and outside that meeting earlier today in central london. theo, bring us up—to—date on what more we know. basically, this should not come as much of a surprise, because tata had set its stall at several uns ago. what it wanted to do was invest in new steel production at port talbot, installing analogic arc furnace, a modern type of furnace that is cheaper to run and less polluting than the old—style blast furnaces that are there at the moment, but this did come with a catch. the blast furnaces and all the facilities that were required to operate them, like the fuelling plants and so on, employ a large number of people. replacing them with this electric arc furnace means

there will be fewerjobs needed. that was always on the card, the debate has been over how quickly this kind of transformation happens, and it is a transfer may incidentally that is being funded in part by taxpayers money, £500 billion of taxpayers money is due to go towards it. what the unions wanted to see was one of the blast furnaces kept open and kept open for several years while the new electric arc furnace was being brought on stream, in order to safeguard the domestics to i --, 60 ——, 60 of production, because the new furnace will only be able to... all these arguments have been going on. back in november, the unions put forward their own proposals to tata, saying this is how you can safeguard jobs, this is how you can keep costs and make sure they're not compulsory redundancies in the short term, tata has been able to look at those proposals, but it does appear that

in today's meeting they did not give them much... they were not happy with those proposals, so the unions seem to have been rebuffed and we should get the official confirmation of that tomorrow morning. {lila should get the official confirmation of that tomorrow morning. 0k, theo, and we have — of that tomorrow morning. 0k, theo, and we have any _ of that tomorrow morning. 0k, theo, and we have any reaction _ of that tomorrow morning. 0k, theo, and we have any reaction from - of that tomorrow morning. 0k, theo, | and we have any reaction from people in port talbot? 0f and we have any reaction from people in port talbot? of course, huge worry, i am in port talbot? of course, huge worry, iam guessing, in port talbot? of course, huge worry, i am guessing, 3000 jobs? in port talbot? of course, huge worry, iam guessing, 3000 jobs? we worry, i am guessing, 3000 “obs? we don't worry, lam guessing, 3000 jobs? - don't have any reaction as yet, because the announcement has not been made. however, outside the union meeting today, i did speak to the national officer of the gmb. 0bviously the national officer of the gmb. obviously the unions want to tell their members before they can officially say that any of this is going on, but my understanding is that tata will push ahead with its plans and this is what gmb's national officer had to say. fiur national officer had to say. our exerts national officer had to say. our exnerts has — national officer had to say. our experts has been _ national officer had to say. our experts has been a _ national officer had to say. our experts has been a long time talking to tate _ experts has been a long time talking to tata steel, they know the details. we think there is notjust a financial— details. we think there is notjust a financial imperative but a

other teachers, a result, 33 students and three otherteachers, many a result, 33 students and three other teachers, many of whom have been shot, were trapped in a room with an active shooter for over an hour as law enforcement officials remained outside. i also told the families and survivors how deeply sorry i am for the losses they suffered that day and for the losses they have suffered every day since. i told them that the priority for the justice department i told them that the priority for thejustice department in preparing this report has been to honour the memories of those who were taken from them. and i told the families gathered last night what i hope is clear among the hundreds of pages and thousands of details in this report — their loved ones deserved better. law enforcement response at robb elementary school on may 2a, 2022 and in the hours and days after was a failure that should not have happened. we hope to honour the

victims and survivors by working together to try to prevent anything like this from ever happening again, here or anywhere. i am now going to turn to the key observations and recommendations of the report. 0n recommendations of the report. on may 2a, recommendations of the report. on may 24, 2022 at recommendations of the report. on may 2a, 2022 at 11:33am, an active shooter wearing body armour and equipped with a high—power ar 15 rifle entered robb elementary school and began shooting into classrooms 111 and 112, which shared a connecting door. within minutes, 11 law enforcement officers from the uvalde consolidated independent school district and the uvalde police department arrived inside the school full. hearing continued gunfire, five officers immediately advanced towards classrooms 111 and 112. within seconds, shots were fired from inside the classroom, shrapnel hit two officers and all

responders retreated to cover. a single officer then made additional attempts to approach the classrooms, but after 11:40am, no more attempts to enter the rooms were made until 12:a8pm, more than an hour later. as a consequence of failed leadership, training and policies, injured and scared students and teachers remained trapped with the subject in the classrooms waiting to be rescued. survivors later shared that they heard officers gathered outside they heard officers gathered outside the classrooms while they waited. the victims trapped in classroom 111 and 112 were waiting to be rescued at 11:44am, approximately ten minutes after officers first arrived, when he subject fired another shot inside the classrooms. there were still waiting 11:56am,

when an officer on the scene told law enforcement leaders that his wife, a teacher, was inside room 111 and 112 and had been shot. they were still waiting as broadcasts went out on officer radios that a student trapped inside rooms 111 had called 911. at 12:10pm, to say the student was in a room full of victims. that student stayed on the phone with the 911 for 16 minutes. the victims were still waiting to be rescued when the subject fired four more shots inside the classrooms. at 12:21pm, 49 minutes after officers arrived on the scene. and they were still waiting for another 27 minutes after that, until, finally, officers entered the classroom and killed the

subject. as the victims were trapped and waiting for help, many of their families were waiting outside the school, going increasingly concerned about why law enforcement had not taken action to rescue their loved ones. law enforcement officers from different agencies who had deployed to the scene in overwhelming numbers were themselves waiting for leadership decisions about how to proceed. many officers reported that they did not know who if anyone was in charge, what they should do or the status of the incident. some officers were confused about why there was no attempt to confront the active shooter and rescue the children. some officers believed to be subject had already been killed and that law enforcement was in the room with the shooter. 75 minutes after the first officers arrived on scene, officers finally entered room

111. the subject engaged the entry team with gunfire and the officers responded with fire. 77 minutes after the first officers arrived on the scene, and after 45 rounds had been fired by the active shooter, the shooter was killed. the massacre at robb elementary shattered families throughout this community and devastated our country. 19 children and two teachers were killed. in untold numbers of students, teachers and law enforcement officers were injured. the law enforcement response to the mass shooting at robb elementary was a failure. as a threat posed to our country by mass shootings has grown and evolved over the past several decades, law enforcement�*s response

tactics have also changed. the massacre at columbine high school 25 years ago and it 47 minutes it took for law enforcement to enter that high school marks a major shift in how law enforcement leaders think about responding to mass shootings. it is now widely understood by law enforcement agencies across the country that an active shooter incidents, time is not on the side of law enforcement. every second counts, and the priority of law enforcement must be to immediately enter the room and stop the shooter with whatever weapons and tools officers have with them. that is the approach responding officers first employed when they arrived at robb elementary school, but within minutes of arriving inside the school, officials on scene

transitioned from treating the scene as an active shooter situation to treating a shooter as a barricade. this was the most significant failure. that failure meant that law enforcement officials prioritise the protected evacuation of students and teachers and other classrooms instead of immediately rescuing the victims trapped with the active shooter. it meant that officials spent time trying to get to negotiate with the subject, instead of entering the room and confronting him —— trying to negotiate. it meant that officials asked for and waited for additional responders and equipment instead of following generally accepted active shooter practice and moving towards the shooter with the resources they had. it meant waiting for a set of keys to open the classroom door which the report concludes was likely unlocked anyway. and it meant that the

victims remained trapped with a shooter for more than an hour after the first officers arrived on scene. there were also other failures in leadership, command and coordination. none of the law enforcement leaders at the scene established an incident command structure to provide timely direction, control and coordination among the enormous number of responders who arrived on scene. this lack of a command structure exacerbated by communication difficulties contributed to confusion among responders about who was in charge and how they could help. these failures may also have been influenced by policy and training deficiencies at responding law enforcement agencies. some lacked any active shooter training at all, some had inappropriate training, some lacked critical incident response training and the

vast majority had never trained to gather with different agencies. —— train together. as associate attorney general vanita gupta will discuss in further detail, the chaos and confusion at the final law enforcement response while the shooter made a threat also defined the aftermath of the shooting. for example, surviving victims, some with bullet wounds and other injuries, were put on buses without being brought to the attention of medics. some families were told that theirfamily members had medics. some families were told that their family members had survived when they had not. and victims families and community members struggled to receive timely and accurate information about what had occurred at robb elementary. the justice department's objective in preparing this report was threefold. first, to honour the victims, the survivors and their loved ones.

second, to provide a clear and independent accounting of the law enforcement response to the horrific attack that devastated this community. and third, to provide law enforcement agencies and communities across the country with analysis and recommendations about how what happened at uvalde should inform efforts to prepare themselves for and respond to mass shootings. policing is a noble profession. it is also a hard one. it requires training and constant education about evolving threats. the report includes widely accepted recommendations that have been adopted by law enforcement agencies across the country about how to prepare for and respond to active shooter situations. before an active shooter situations. before an active shooter incident occurs, law enforcement agencies have a responsibility to ensure that their

leaders and all their officers are trained to focus on rapid response, trained to focus on rapid response, trained that the first officers on the scene must focus on eliminating the scene must focus on eliminating the threat and protecting the victims most in danger. law enforcement officers responding to active shooter must be prepared to take charge, to establish a unified command and to facilitate communications, operational coordination and allocation of l mac and delivery of resources. they must continually assess and adjust —— allocation and delivery. and in the aftermath of a mass shooting, law enforcement and government agencies must provide the public with a sense of trust and confidence by communicating openly, clearly and compassionately during a time in which many are learning the most devastating news that any human

being can receive. the victims and survivors of the mass shooting at robb elementary on may 24, 2022 deserved better. first and foremost, the 19 children and their two teachers who were stolen from their loved ones. should be here today. it never should have been targeted by a mass shooter. we must never forget the shooter's heinous act that day, and he victims and survivors should never have been trapped with that shooter for more than an hour as they waited for the rescue. the families of the victims and survivors deserve more than incomplete, inaccurate and conflicting communications about the status of their loved ones. this community deserved more than this information from officials during and after the attack. ——

misinformation. responding officers here in uvalde, who also lost loved ones and who still bear the emotional scars of that day, deserved the kind of leadership and training that would have prepared them to do the work that was required. our children deserve better than to grow up in a country where an 18—year—old has easy access to a weapon that belongs on the battlefield, not in the classroom. and communities across the country, and the law enforcement officers who protect them, deserve better than to be forced to respond to one horrific mass shooting after another. but thatis mass shooting after another. but that is the terrible reality that we face. and so it is a reality that every law enforcement agency and every law enforcement agency and

every community across the country must be prepared for. no community and no law enforcement agency should have to face that threat alone. that is why we came to uvalde, and that is why we came to uvalde, and that is why we are releasing this report. the justice department is why we are releasing this report. thejustice department remains committed to working in partnership with communities across the country and with the law enforcement agencies working to protect those communities every day. in particular, we stand ready to help communities and agencies prepared to respond to a terrible incident, like the one that occurred here. we have concluded the department's review, but we know that the work of healing here in uvalde is only beginning. we are humbled and grateful to stand with this community as we remember and honour their loved ones. i will now turn the podium over to

associate attorney general vanita gupta, her leadership has been key to the department's efforts to conduct an independent, fair and comprehensive review of the horrific mass shooting of may 24, and its aftermath. i am also grateful to the entire critical incident review team and the department's cops office and the leadership of hugh clements for their tireless work. vanita. thank ou, mr their tireless work. vanita. thank you. mr attorney _ their tireless work. vanita. thank you, mr attorney general. - their tireless work. vanita. thank you, mr attorney general. it - their tireless work. vanita. thank you, mr attorney general. it is i their tireless work. vanita. thank i you, mr attorney general. it is hard to look_ you, mr attorney general. it is hard to look at— you, mr attorney general. it is hard to look at the truth that the law enforcement response on may 24 was an unimaginable failure and that a lack of— an unimaginable failure and that a lack of action by adults failed to protect— lack of action by adults failed to protect children and their teachers. but we _ protect children and their teachers. but we cannot look away from what happened _ but we cannot look away from what happened here. we cannot look away from these _ happened here. we cannot look away from these children and we cannot look away—
