there were four female women deceased in the shopping centre and one male. and subsequently another female passed away in hospital. and iran says it's seized and israeli—linked vessel in the straight of hormuz and is transferring it to its territorial waters. welcome to the programme. we start this hour with breaking news out of australia. it is heading into night time there. that police presence still in place around the shopping centre, six people killed as a man with a knife entered the shopping centre at half past three, many others are in hospital injor, including a very

young child. police believe they know who the attackers. he was shot dead by a police officer at the scene. they believe he is a0 years old and they know a little bit about him. let us look at what we know so far. here's what we know so far — emergency services arrived at westfield bondi junction around 3.a5pm local time. at least six people have been killed by a man with a knife, five women & one man. eight people are in hospital, being treated for various injuries, including a nine—month—old baby. the attacker has been shot dead, and police say he was a a0—year—old man known to police. police say it's too early to make an assessment on what could have been the attacker�*s motivation. he was shot dead by a female police officer who was in the area at the time — the prime minister anthony albanese praising her for her heroic efforts which saved lives. witnesses have been speaking to local media.

i heard people yelling and screaming and running so i thought there must be something going on. sol and running so i thought there must be something going on. so i saw her and ifollowed her all the way upstairs. just as we got to around the corner, because i saw them coming, there he was, he started coming, there he was, he started coming towards us and started floating towards us, all i heard was put it down. and then she shot him. if she had not shoot him he would have kept going like rambo. then she walked over to give him cpr. he had a nice big blade on him so she checked the knife away. he was on a killing spree and this woman came downstairs, there is another two bodies near the wedding shop, look like they had been stabbed. they look like a male and female. i don't know if there was any more in the shop. know if there was any more in the sho -. . , know if there was any more in the sho -. ., , , ., know if there was any more in the sho. . , ., ., know if there was any more in the sho. ., , ., ., ., know if there was any more in the sho. ., , y., ., ., ., ., shop. that gives you an idea of what eo - le shop. that gives you an idea of what peeple were — shop. that gives you an idea of what people were confronting _ shop. that gives you an idea of what people were confronting inside -

shop. that gives you an idea of what people were confronting inside the l people were confronting inside the shopping centre. we can look now, the man on the right is a member of the man on the right is a member of the public and on the left in the black, we think is the alleged attacker. the man in white holding up attacker. the man in white holding up a pole, clearly blocking him, confronting him which it seems to be a remarkably brave thing to do. last hour we heard from karen webb, commissioner of the new south wales police force. about 3:30pm this afternoon, a male with a knife entered westfield shopping centre at bondi junction and attacked a number of people. police were called and a police officer responded and faced that man and neutralised that thread within that shopping centre.

0ther police attended and helped. witnesses, shopkeepers and others in the shopping centre will help to move on from the shopping centre, and as a result, there were fourfemale women deceased in the shopping centre and one male, and subsequently another female passed away in hospital, taking it to a total of six plus the death of the offender. there are about eight people in hospitals around sydney being treated for different injuries associated with being attacked in the hospital, at the shopping centre, including a nine—month—old infant that has been in surgery. police have secured the crime scene, which you can imagine is expansive, inside a very big, busy commercial shopping centre in sydney. and the crime scene remains ongoing.

and it will remain ongoing for a number of days. the shopping centre will in fact be closed tomorrow for trade, and westfield will work with police to assist in the removal of vehicles from the shopping centre tomorrow. but in the meantime, the shopping centre will remain a crime scene. later this evening, we became aware of who we believe the offender is and we believe that he is a a0—year—old man, however, we're waiting to formally identify him and cannot speculate yet on his identification. but let me assure you that we are confident that there is no ongoing risk and we are dealing with one person who is now deceased.

are there any questions? what do you know about this man this stage? - i will actually hand over to the deputy commissioner. we know a little about this person but we are waiting to confirm his identification. and if in fact it is the person believe it is, we don't have fears that person hasn't ideation. in other words, it is not a terrorism incident. he is known to law enforcement but we are waiting to identify him formally. we are waiting to identify him formall . , , ., ., we are waiting to identify him formall. , , ., ., ., , formally. this is not a terrorist

people being evacuated. a man entered with a knife killing six people. a police officer then entered a shopping centre and shot dead the attacker. we have one bit of footage of the attacker, on the left and black, trying to come up there, he is stopped effectively by a man, just a member of the public in the white t—shirt, holding up a pole, pretty brave to try and block the attacker in his path. with me is our news reporter courtney bembridge. we had from police a short time ago and they describe who they believe was the attacker, a a0—year—old man known to police but they said if it was confirmed that it was him, they

do not believe the motive is terrorism so it is not clear at this point but police have given some details as part of their initial investigation they think it was a random attack and these people were not specifically targeted. we know six --eole not specifically targeted. we know six people have — not specifically targeted. we know six people have died _ not specifically targeted. we know six people have died five - not specifically targeted. we know six people have died five at - not specifically targeted. we know six people have died five at the i six people have died five at the scene and one man and later another man —— and woman died in hospital. police believe the man was not necessarily motivated by terrorism but a question asked of police was whether the gender had anything to do with it, most of the victims were women and only one man among the 68 so that is another line of inquiry. all of this is being looked at, in the meantime this massive shop centre has been shot down, as has a large area around it which has been designated a crime scene so police will be combing over that scene

of these terrible acts and their loved ones. our nation offers our deepest condolences and sympathies to all those who are grieving for someone they have lost. and we send our strength to those who have been injured. and all of us are thinking of the dedicated doctors, nurses and health care workers who will be working through the night to save lives and to care for their fellow australians. today, bondi junction was the scene of shocking violence, but it was also witness to the humanity and the heroism of our fellow australians, our brave police, ourfirst responders and of course everyday people who could never have imagined that they would face such a moment. and some of the footage is quite extraordinary. staff for whom this should have been a normal shift. shoppers peacefully going about their lives. and yet for these australians, their first instinct in the face of danger was to help someone else.

that is what we hold on to tonight as australians. that's confirmation of who we are — brave, strong, together. that was the prime minister speaking, highlighting the bravery of those who were there and that loan policewomen officer who went into the shopping centre and confronted the attractor —— attacker. when he raised his knife towards her she shot him dead. some of the praise for her, this quote from the police saying, it could have been much worse. referencing her bravery and what she did. plenty more coverage by scanning the qr code on the screen. stay with us here on bbc news.

hello, a wind of change on the way. looking at the satellite picture, you can see this area of wind. it is coming from the north atlantic and it will be coming in from the arctic regions. that blue, the colder air mass invades the uk, squeezing warm air towards the south. this process has already begun because this afternoon, temperatures in some spots in the north will struggle to reach double figures, still the warmth across the bulk of england, just about in excess of 20 celsius across east anglia and south—east. showers are in the forecast across scotland, northern ireland, but this evening, for most of us will be clear and will turn chilly on sunday morning, a touch of frost in the highlands,

two or three degrees in rural spots. not desperately code, for example in birmingham it will be around five celsius. around five celsius. here is the outlook for sunday. it starts with sparkling blue sunshine but through the morning into the afternoon, clouds bubble up and showers are possible, frequent in northern ireland and scotland. the further south you are, the drier will be. 15 degrees in london, ten in glasgow, which is not the average for the time of year. on monday pressure sweeps in, a day of april showers on monday. some will bring hail, thunder, rainbows as well, and even the chance of winter in this fulsome. it will feel cold. temperatures may not reach double figures across scotland and northern ireland and in the south below par as well.

it looks like it will stay chilly through most of the week, there's april showers, but hints of things turning a little milder towards the end of the week. goodbye.
