celebrating and out on the streets celebrating and then we got reports of a shooting. we just had this then we got reports of a shooting. wejust had this in then we got reports of a shooting. we just had this in from kansas city police department, a statement and i will read it for the first time as i'm bringing it to you. it says "at the conclusion of the rally, there were shots fired west of union station near the garage and several people were struck. there have been two armed people detained for more investigation. when he people to exit the area as quickly and safely as possible and avoid the parking garage in order to facilitate treatment of shooting victims. many of you have footage of many officers securing union station. they are working to provide for the safety of everyone inside union station and expedia at care of those injured. " so there are multiple people hit,

multiple people injured. two armed people detained by police. for more under investigation. this was at the conclusion of the rally, so with the end it seems of that victory parade in those celebrations and those joyous scenes there for fans of the kansas city american football team. and there were not met these are the pictures from earlier on he could see the open top buses there. the weather was more mild than normal so even more people out on the streets they are celebrating. it was a remarkable achievement, back to back super bowl plans, lit by many stars there. patrick the to their star quarterback, travis kelce there another star player for the team and now more famous for his girlfriend taylor swift. that got him many more people around the world specifically interested in american football and interested in american football and in the inner—city cheese. for the celebrations were large as you would expect given the world of

entertainment and sport colliding. many people out on the streets and then we hear from the police department this statement, and this is what they have released on social media. in realtime, is what they have released on social media. in real time, witnesses to the shooting to please go to the southwest corner of pershing in maine. a little earlier you can see shots have been fired around the union station area and then for the details, shots fired west of union station near the garage and multiple people were struck. we took two armed people in the custody for more investigation and anyone nearby needs to leave the area. and we have been watching over the last 10—20 minutes or so and clearly emergency services and large number of people clearly dispersed now already. this did seem to take place at the end of the rally. the words from the police

department, at the conclusion of the rally there were shots fired west of union station near the garage. several people struck. so clearly police and emergency services there. we will resume at a rally in the victory parade, there would be plenty of those kind of personnel in attendance anyway. so presumably on the scene pretty quickly. but as for the scene pretty quickly. but as for the details, largely relying at the moment on kansas city police department with that's a bit there but there would be plenty of people around them plenty of footage also to media. we will be working away to work through that in our correspondent is also gathering a few more details and we will be speaking to them a little later. sport, and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's sarah. let's start with the action in the champions league, where we've two more last 16 ties under way. in rome, lazio host bayern munich

in the first leg of their tie, with thomas mueller starting after blasting his team as lacking guts in their 3—0 loss to bayer leverkusen at the weekend in the bundesliga. it is goalless there. and in the french capital, paris saint—germain are hosting real sociedad with kylian mbappe back in the team after missing their league game. it is also goalless in that one if can follow both on the bbc sport website and app. the premier league and now the football association have approved sirjim ratcliffe's bid for a minority stake in manchester united. with the purchase thought to be worth about £1 billion, owners the glazer family will retain a majority stake in the club, but ratcliffe's ineos group will take control of football operations. the sale can't be completed until after the share offer is closed, which is friday night in the united states. sheffield united manager chris wilder has been charged by the fa after he criticised the officials following their premier league defeat at crystal palace last month.

to use his skill set in a different way than in the first game, because he was the only seamer. the way in whichjimmy bowled last week just shows the class that he can do it everywhere in the world, regardless of the conditions. leylah fernandez upset australian open finalist zheng qinwen to reach the quarterfinals of the qatar open. fernandez came from 3—5 down to take the first set 7—5 before wrapping up the second 6—3 injust half an hour to defeat the number—five seed. fernandez, who's a former us open finalist, will meet third—seed elena rybakina for a spot in the semifinals. manu tuilagi is back in the england squad ahead of their six nations match with scotland in just under two weeks. the 32—year—old centre has recovered from a groin injury and isjoined by hooker luke cowan—dickie and lock george martin. england have won both their matches so far at the tournament and are chasing a first six nations title since 2020. four—time world champion mark selby�*s been knocked out of snooker�*s welsh open by aaron

let's go right back to the us and kansas city with the shooting taking place at the end it seems of the victory parade celebrating the kansas city chiefs victory in the super bowl. and then there seems to have been a shooting close to union station here. so we are getting some details from kansas city police department. two armed people have been detained for investigation and multiple people are injured. let's cross now to our correspondent tom bateman. tom, we will stay on the sly pictures of the scene but bring us up—to—date with what we know so far. us up-to-date with what we know so far. ~ . ~ ., , , us up-to-date with what we know so far. . «a, , ,, us up-to-date with what we know so far. . «a, , , far. what we know is this is a huge event that takes _ far. what we know is this is a huge event that takes place _ far. what we know is this is a huge event that takes place in _ far. what we know is this is a huge event that takes place in kansas i event that takes place in kansas city. second year running that it is happened. pictures from a little earlier on in the day it showed a whole series of open top buses moving through these very large crowds and then a big part of the event at union station there. now as you have been reported, the police

say that at the conclusion of the rally, there were shots fired west of union station near they say the garage and several people in their words were struck. now they hugging about two people being detained for more investigation, but some of the images we are showing or appearing to show from a live shot earlier on, people running, some scenes of panic close to the station there was of the police have said that they are trying to evacuate the station itself and they are working to try to do that. and in the meantime, the parking garage that they have talked about is being used to facilitate the treatment of shooting victims. so clearly eight significant incident. what we don't know it crucial yet is about the exact numbers involved, the number of people struck. they are just saying, as i mentioned, that there are

victims and they have those two people detained at the moment. but a lot of the details still emerging. 0k, lot of the details still emerging. ok, time thank you very much for that. these are the light pictures that. these are the light pictures that tom was just referring to, and you could see there lots of police, ambulance, security personnel who probably would have been there anyway before the scale and the size of the victory parade in the last few hours sickly people on the scene very quickly. and we can see some fans still hanging around, but this took place, say police, close to union station at the conclusion, so it towards the end of the relic, the parade when people were leaving because just a couple of hours ago, there were thousands and thousands, hundreds of thousands people out on the streets celebrating the kansas

city chiefs's win over the 49ers in the super bowl, second year and a row kansas city chiefs winning the super bowl. and this year in particular, they got particular attention for people around the world because of their success and because of the celebrity supporters, too. but these were the scenes a little earlier on that i was just referring to. people coming out onto the streets, celebrating their superstars patrick holmes, star quarterback, travis kelce, another star player, and his girlfriend taylor swift, clearly a global star, and it has brought even more attention on to the success of the football team. and they were out celebrating and this unfortunately is the aftermath, a shooting say police at the conclusion of the parade. two people, armed people, detained for more investigation. multiple people injured, so we don't

have exact numbers on how many people were injured. right, i'm told we have some new pictures. let's take a look. i'm seeing these for the first time with you. let's see if we can establish what's happening. so this, to be clear, is not life. this is from a little earlier, and we can see people moving around, looks like police moving around, looks like police moving there. cliff clearly when there were more fans in the area. this is outside union station where we are told the shooting happened. and clearly there would have been lots of security personnel, ambulance is there anyway. and this is some of the confusion and you can see people running different directions there whilst fans are still around, flags supporting the kansas city chiefs still there. police saying that they are trying

to or have been trying to evacuate the area. and this is clearly a clear indication of the worry there and the grave concern about what's going on, people running, fans running as surely news of what was going on or at least the confusion or misunderstanding or lack of knowledge of what's going on has spread very well, it seems. just to be clear if you are just tuning in here, these are not live pictures with this is from a little earlier, not that long ago, because this is what people are still there at the conclusion of this victory parade supposed to be celebrating, and there were lots people out celebrating the kansas city chiefs winning the super bowl it, and then this confusion. reports of a shooting west of union station. police releasing request people to

evacuate the area and releasing some details of the geography also they said shots were fired west of union station near the garage. several people were struck. that is the only detail we have when it comes to numbers. several people were struck and we don't know the severity of the injuries caused we don't know how people are involved. but several people were struck. right, we have now a bit of an interview with a little reporter on the scene. let's take a listen. gunfire. guy's, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys!

somethings— guy's, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys! something's going on! something's going _ something's going on! something's going on. _ something's going on! something's going on, guys! something's going on! something's going on. guys!— something's going on! something's going on, guys! well, that gives you a clear sense _ going on, guys! well, that gives you a clear sense of _ going on, guys! well, that gives you a clear sense of what _ going on, guys! well, that gives you a clear sense of what was _ going on, guys! well, that gives youj a clear sense of what was happening because those tv crews, those tv cameras and all the people were there celebrating the kansas city chiefs winning this revolt, back to back it does not happen very often in the nfl and it has happened, and there were lots people there, lots of eyes on this parade from a right around the world and you can see there in that report standing amongst the crowd and getting a sense that something was wrong, getting a sense that something had happened but as people started running and clearing the area, not exactly clear what was going on. police since come out and sit on the media west of union station as people were leaving at the conclusion of the celebrations at the end of the parade. but the players in the fans out on the streets, there were open top buses in a big stage set up. and lots and

lots people there as you can imagine and shots fired near the garage west of union station. several people hit, police very quick to say that we need people to exit the area as quickly and safely as possible and avoid that parking garage that they referred to. in order to facilitate the treatment of shooting victims. police going on to say many have footage, many officers securing union station and they are working to provide safety of everyone inside. this again is from a little earlier. this is a reporter at the scene and you can see the camera there pointed towards what would have been and was just a little bit earlier thousands of fans out on the streets and join the parade. and you can see from these pictures the confusion, people knowing this is happened... confusion, people knowing this is happened---_

confusion, people knowing this is hauened... , , i, i, i, happened... guys, guys, guys, guys, au s! happened... guys, guys, guys, guys, guys! something's — happened... guys, guys, guys, guys, guys! something's going _ happened... guys, guys, guys, guys, guys! something's going on! - guys! something's going on! something's going on, guys! and then that shouting — something's going on, guys! and then that shouting and _ something's going on, guys! and then that shouting and a _ something's going on, guys! and then that shouting and a sense _ something's going on, guys! and then that shouting and a sense of— something's going on, guys! and then that shouting and a sense of people i that shouting and a sense of people knew something was going on was not right. people then were told to leave the area by police, to evacuate and they had to safety. two people armed detained by police for more investigation and several people struck. so that is the only details we have on any people who are injured or hit potentially, several people were struck. so we don't have any idea of numbers or scale at this point and we will be of course chasing down those details. but as things stand, a lot of uncertainty there. and just to be clear, these pictures are not live, just a little earlier. they are not long ago but this is when a greater number of people were around union station leaving the parade. and this

is see that moment it seems to be when the news started filtering through an people running in different directions. so we will continue to chase any more details we can get there from the us, but for now around the water and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. just two years ago, there were 34,500 northern gannet nests on this pembrokeshire rock, once the fourth—largest colony in the world. but in 12 months, bird flu wiped out more than half of grassholm's population, and gannets are not alone. black—headed gulls were red—listed before bird flu emerged in 2021, and numbers have declined by 77% in recent years. and in its first ever report trying to quantify the effects of bird flu, rspb cymru says common and sandwich terns have also seen a catastrophic drop of a0%. we are really concerned. we don't know what the future holds.

these seabirds are long—lived, and they only have a couple of, you know, one or two chicks a year. it could be another decade before we truly know what the impact of this is, even if it were to stop today. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. heading straight back to the us and live pictures of kansas city. reports of a shooting and confirmation from police there, kansas city police, saying at the conclusion of the rally, the rate they talk about here is a victory parade for the kansas city chiefs winning that super bowl back to back, two years in a row, huge publicity, huge viewing figures for the super bowl itself, huge global interest and lots of people out on the streets celebrating. but then at

the streets celebrating. but then at the end of that victory parade, shots were fired west of union station. so these pictures are from a little earlier. these pictures are not life, but these pictures give you a sense of the confusion starting to spread to my people starting to spread to my people starting to spread to my people starting to run. now let me give you the rest of the details from canada city police department. they are safe shots fired west of union station near the garage there, several people were hit, two armed people detained by police for more investigation. they have asked people to exit the area as quickly and safely as possible, and if we just take a look at the life pictures now quickly, so these pictures now quickly, so these pictures we are on right now were just from a little earlier as people started to spread. now these are life pictures, and there are far fewer people. i want to give you exactly the information we have when we have it, so these are the life pictures and there are far fewer people. people have left the area.

we are waiting for more details from the police and as we do i want to show you now a moment from an hour orso show you now a moment from an hour or so ago when things started to appear to be going wrong but people did not quite know what was happening. a tv camera it was there rolling with a reporter covering the victory parade. let's take a look at that. guys, guys, guys, guys, guys! something's going on! something's going on, guys!

we will replay that she can get a sense. people are milling around in the report returns is what has been a victory parade, now something is very different as people are leaving. people are confused and don't quite know what's happening but some are running. then you can hear their the reporter saying something is going on very clearly. something has gone very wrong and these again our pictures from a little earlier in the immediate aftermath. police sank a shooting, two people detained and several people hit. and of course not absolute clarity about what's happening with the bit looks like police are heading towards the scene, fans heading generally away. people were leaving this rally anyway to be clear as this was a victory damper had been going on for

hours and we been covering it here on the programme, open top buses, lots of celebrations, a big stage set up as well. and then this is the aftermath. as it was ending, a shooting at union station or west of union station near the garage there. and they asked people to evacuate and ask people to leave safely and quickly and get out of the area. and also to avoid that garage area because they were using that to treat people. sojust because they were using that to treat people. so just to be clear, these are pictures from just a little earlier at the end of the kansas city chiefs victory parade after winning the super bowl. it had finished and people largely believe in the area but as you can see if there was still a lot of people they are trying to get home, trying to get on their way when shots were fired west of union station. let's take you back to the live pictures now and give you a sense of what's happening right now so this is

kansas city, missouri in the us. clearly on a scale of this kind of event, a victory parade for the kansas city chiefs winning the super bowl, there were lots of security personnel there and lots of emergency services there and lots of health professionals. as it was finishing, people leaving, police say it shots fired, some people were struck and we don't know at this stage how many people are injured. right, | stage how many people are injured. right, i think we have some new pictures to bring you look. so i'm seeing these for the first time along with you here and just to be clear these are not live pictures but this is from more closely to the time of the shooting, where you can

see there police are responding. people are getting a sense and some will know what is happened and others won't. you can see clearly a very different scene from just hours earlier when people were celebrating and now multiple people hit with gunshots. stay here. this is bbc news. hello there. there's been a lot of cloud around today and it's been quite misty and murky around some hills and coasts. few lucky places though did manage to see a peep of sunshine coming through that cloud. that was barnsley. and this weather watcher picture is in newquay and both locations reached 13 degrees this afternoon. we had temperatures reaching 15 degrees in herefordshire and norfolk with a bit of rain and drizzle around too. but it's getting wetter actually this evening and overnight. and that wet weather will drive its way northwards up into scotland.

at the same time, southern areas may turn drier later on. temperatures are going to rise actually in scotland overnight with that wet weather coming in and elsewhere, temperatures really aren't going to drop very much at all. it'll be a very mild start to tomorrow. our air originated actually from the azores and at the moment we're seeing a southerly breeze coming in, bringing that milder air our way ahead of this weatherfront, which will bring some rain back in from the west. but we've got a wet start in scotland. that rain moves up towards the north and rain clears northern ireland but heads back into scotland. and then we'll see some rain for wales and western england, maybe some heavier bursts later in southwest england and the midlands. but ahead of that, lincolnshire, east anglia, the south east should stay dry and bright, maybe a bit of sunshine coming through and these are the temperatures we'd normally get at this time of the year. but this is what we're seeing on thursday, even milder than today, 16, possibly 17, degrees is on the cards across east anglia in the south—east, if the cloud does break up sufficiently to give us some sunshine. but that's still quite a long way off that february temperature record set back in 2019.

now, there will be some rain pushing eastwards on thursday night. there's more weather fronts queuing up in the atlantic. that one's just going to fade away. this one will bring some rain eastwards during the weekend. but with some rain overnight moving eastwards, we're going to see the last of that clear away from east anglia in the south east. and then we're all in the same boat. there'll be some sunshine coming through now and again, a fair bit of cloud, the odd shower around, but not very many of those large parts of the country will be dry. so a drier day on friday, not quite as mild, but still those temperatures above average, 12 central scotland, 1a in the south east of england. and we've still got that same sort of mild air in place on saturday. it could be quite a bit of cloud, best of the sunshine in the east and out to the west where we see that weather front that's bringing rain, northern ireland, western scotland and the far south west of england. and ahead of that, it's about 12 degrees.

hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. you're watching the context on bbc news. we're starting this hour with some news from the us, we are going to take you live now to kansas city, missouri, because in the last hour or so, missouri, because in the last hour orso, police missouri, because in the last hour or so, police say shots have been fired at the super bowl victory parade there. lots of people out on the streets celebrating kansas city

chiefs win at the super bowl, and then as it was finishing, police say shots were fired west of union station, nearthe shots were fired west of union station, near the garage, several people were struck, two armed people detained for more investigation, so we don't know how many people were hit, we don't know the extent of the injuries at the moment, but we do know multiple people were hit. two armed people detained for more investigation is a police. they've asked people, understandably, to act area. these are the live pictures right now. —— evacuate the area. earlier, there were thousand and thousand people out on the streets, there was open top bus tours, this kansas city chiefs, now a very high—profile american football team, won the super bowl, they won it last year too, they had star players, travis kelce one of them and his girlfriend, taylor swift, has

brought particular focus and attention
