hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. on sunday night in las vegas, a man on the 32nd floor of the mandalay bay hotel began shooting. gunfire when the gunfire stopped, at least 58 people at a music concert had been fatally wounded. america had witnessed its deadliest mass shooting in decades. we'll hear from those who survived. we started seeing the people who we re we started seeing the people who were shot and the people who were dead, and that is when it hit me that it was real. the gunman was stephen paddock. he killed himself before police reached him. the islamic state says it's behind the killings. this is the fbi's response to that. as this event unfolds, we have determined to this point no connection with an international terrorist group. at the white house, a minute's silence to honour the victims. we will report live from

las vegas and washington, dc. we will also cover the latest from catalonia, where regional leaders say they want a new understanding with the spanish state. understanding was in short supply yesterday. police violence marred an independence referendum which delivered a "yes" vote. the spanish government say it was illegal. at least 58 people died in the las vegas attack. at least 515 were injured. president trump spoke earlier. our unity cannot be shattered by evil. our bonds cannot be broken by violence. and though we feel such great anger at the senseless murder of our fellow citizens, it is our love that he finds us today — and

a lwa ys love that he finds us today — and always will, for ever. in times such as these, i know we are searching for some kind of meaning in the chaos come as some kind of light in the darkness. the answers do not come easy. the attack began just after 10pm in las vegas. the gunman was on the 32nd floor of the mandalay bay hotel. that's on the strip, which is lined with casinos and hotels. across the road, 22,000 people were attending the route 91 harvest music concert. you can see the mandalay bay hotel in the background. these videos captured the attack as it began. gunfire

screaming and these are some of the people who we re and these are some of the people who were there. people thought it was fireworks, then they started dropping around us. we heard the shots, and no—one realised what was going on until we heard the second set of shots. everybody started running, but there was nowhere to

run, because you couldn't tell where it was coming from. he kept on going, then it was quite, then 15—20 rounds, then we realised it was fully automatic. it'sjust kept happening, short increments where there were breaks between the shots, but it literally fell slightly just continued for 20 minutes straight. and every time there was a break, we ran, and we ran. once we got at the back, we started seeing the people that were shot, and the people that we re that were shot, and the people that were dead, and that is when it hit me that this was real. the police say the attacker stephen paddock, seen here in a picture provided by his family, acted alone. he killed himself before they entered the hotel room. he had ten guns. you can see the outside of the room in this picture. it has two broken windows. the police have also released this

video capturing the moment they broke into his room. these pictures show the scale of the response from the authorities. much of the area around the strip was locked down. hundreds and hundreds of medical and security personnel were present within minutes. you can imagine the pressure on health care facilities in las vegas, over 500 people were injured. here is one person saying there is a 3—4 hour wait for giving blood. this gives you an idea of how busy this particular facility was. we can learn more on the medical facilities, dave lee is live at the

university medical centre, and i'm guessing this has involved multiple hospitals. yes, it has, multiple hospitals. yes, it has, multiple hospitals and a huge amount of coordination from those hospitals. i am standing in front of one of the bigger ones, the one which dealt with the most serious injuries in a trauma centre, and they seem particularly pleased with how well they have dealt with this. many patients were brought in overnight, they said 104 came to them with injuries, some minor, some extremely serious, and out of that four lost their lives. they say they could have done nothing for those four, andi have done nothing for those four, and i think was today has been seen as an enormous tragedy, the city of las vegas is feeling quite positive about the response. do we know how quickly the medical help, and the lenses were able to get to the scene? well, one of the interesting things that happened after the concert is not so much about ambulances getting to the scene, of

course many did, but also the amount of concertgoers who brought people in the own cars and pick—up trucks to these hospitals. there was traffic coming out of the event with people being ta ken traffic coming out of the event with people being taken to the various centres, and that is being seen as pa rt centres, and that is being seen as part of the las vegas community coming together. another side of that that we have been witnessing today, just down the street from here, is many people donating blood. there is almost a rock party atmosphere around the corner of people sharing food, donating blood, doing what they can in order to help the people who are injured. dave, i mentioned the death toll is 58 but could rise, what are we hearing in terms of people in critical condition? well, we know there are 20 people in this particular facility in critical condition. 0verall, there were 500 people injured, officials have been happy to report that many are now being sent home and are in a stable condition and have been treated, but

yes, the police have said continually that they expect the number to rise, and of course should that happen, we will share that with you. one last question, dave, about what is happening in downtown las vegas. normally it would be heaving with visitors having a great sign at casinos and hotels — to what degree is that carrying on? well, last night, much of the strip was closed, particularly down near mandalay bay, the hotel where the gunman was shooting from. from what i can tell, it is trying to get towards business as usual. 0f it is trying to get towards business as usual. of course, people are still visiting las vegas, still coming in on flights that were booked, so the people who have arrived, i think, booked, so the people who have arrived, ithink, are booked, so the people who have arrived, i think, are determined, booked, so the people who have arrived, ithink, are determined, as far as they can, to keep their plans intact and enjoy the things that las vegas is much more famous for than an awful incident like this. ok, dave lee, live from las vegas. the gunman was stephen paddock.

he was 64, and was a resident of mesquite, which is north—east of las vegas. his brother has been speaking. i couldn't be more dumbfounded. i mean, it doesn't... there's nothing. your last communications... there's nothing, i can show you the text. he said, "how is mom?" "did you get power?" that was it. there is absolutely... we have nothing. like i said, we have nothing for you. i mean, i hope someone finds out, figures out. because we'd like to know. earlier, the islamic state group said it was behind the attack. the fbi was asked about this earlier. as this event unfolds, we have

determined, to this point, no connection with an international terrorist group. as this investigation continues, we will continue to work with our partners to ensure that this is factually, thoroughly and absolutely investigated, to be able to bring comfort and peace back to this community. you won't be surprised to know that in washington there is already a strong political debate about whether gun laws need to be tightened or not. here is katty kay on that. that political discussion, of course, revolves around the issue of course, revolves around the issue of gun control. you already have two democratic senators from the state of connecticut, where the newtown killings happened in 2012, when 20 schoolchildren were killed, saying it is time for congress to get off its as and do something about it, that thoughts and prayers are not enough. 0ne that thoughts and prayers are not enough. one said he was furious about the lack of action, but i have

lived through too many of these, ros, and having reported newtown and seen the outpouring of sympathy and horror as children getting killed, and then nothing happened in terms of gun control legislation, it is ha rd of gun control legislation, it is hard for me to arjun that this killing in las vegas, awful as it will is, will lead to something different legislatively. what did you make of the president's comments, the strongest language, talking about chaos, finding light in darkness? the president has behaved exactly as you would expect an american to behave in these circumstances, he was restrained, he took his time over this. when he came out to thank law enforcement, he made a clear plea for unity in the country, talked about hatred, and you can see the pictures from a few moments ago, coming out onto the lawn of the white house for a moment of silence with the first lady and the vice president and his wife as well. so this is exactly, maybe it

sounds strange to say this, but this is what a normal american president would do in these circumstances. what he didn't do was talk about terrorism, and he didn't talk about gun control. some people are doing that now in congress on the democratic side, but as you suggested, that is already being seen as a political reaction to what happened in vegas. and in terms of the tenor of the media coverage and the tenor of the media coverage and the discussions around the story, we have seen the media covering these stories so often now, do you pick up on any shift, or itjust becomes an u nfortu nate on any shift, or itjust becomes an unfortunate routine that americans get used to? every time, it is awful, and you only have to think about the families of the 58 people who died, some of them kids, teenagers. it is never routine or normal, and itchy —— it should never become that way. but i feel a sense of scepticism that this will lead to real change. it is being described asa real change. it is being described

as a disease in the united states, the disease of mass killings that other westernised countries do not have, but i havejust other westernised countries do not have, but i have just spoken to a republican, not particularly keen on president trump, but who says, look, legislating this, imposing more regulations is not going to stop this, we have to look at mental health. the positions on this very entrenched and divided, but i would say that everybody today is thinking about the families of those who were killed. finally, although nobody is particularly focused on puerto rico today, because of the horror in las vegas, there are many tragedies playing at there, the president goes there tomorrow, having to plot a delicate route through a number of difficulties use at the moment. yeah, some of those of is creating over the course of the weekend, when he started getting into waste bat over twitter with the mayor of someone who he says has been working for the democrats, is an ingrate, and actually she has been pictured wading through dirty water trying to

help people, so let's see what kind of reaction he gets. it is two weeks since the hurricane hit, and fuel is finally starting to get to people, which is important, because they are living off generators, but a lot of people do not have clean drinking water, and people will want to see that the federal effort is working and people are getting the supplies they need. thanks to katty, and you can see her with 100 days along with christian fraser just before can see her with 100 days along with christian fraserjust before this programme. in catalonia, local officials are saying that people voted overwhelmingly for independence yesterday, but the spanish government says the vote never took place. the uk's fifth biggest airline, monarch, has collapsed, and all its future flights and holidays have been cancelled. the tour operator had been in talks with the civil aviation authority about renewing its licence to sell package holidays

but has failed to reach a deal. more than 750,000 people have lost bookings, and over 100,000 customers overseas are being flown home in what the transport secretary chris grayling has called "the country's biggest peacetime repatriation". this is a hugely difficult day for passengers, for staff. we've done our best to put in place a contingency programme for repatriations of people who are overseas, around the mediterranean. we have been working with other tour operators of the last 24 hours to try to make sure that it is the earliest possible opportunity for people to re—book their holidays. 0ther airline bosses are saying the monarch team are great, we will hire them, so i am confident those people will find alternative employment soon. the lead story on the bbc newsroom

comes from las vegas — at least 58 people have died and hundreds have been wounded in the deadliest mass shooting in modern us history. and these are the main stories from bbc world service as well. police in kenya have fired tear gas to disperse opposition protestors in nairobi and several other towns. the demonstrators were responding to a call from the opposition alliance for weekly protests on mondays and fridays. bangladesh says myanmar has agreed to set up a joint working group to oversee the return of rohingya muslims who've fled their homes. myanmar has not yet commented on the deal. that is from bbc bangla. three american scientists who unravelled how our bodies tell time have won the nobel prize for physiology or medicine. they discovered the genes that control the circadian rhythm, or, in other words, the 24—hour body clock. before the las vegas shooting, the focus in the united states had been on president trump's trip to puerto rico on tuesday.

nearly two weeks ago, it was ravaged by hurricane maria. it took close to a direct hit. thousands of people have been without electricity and clean drinking water. the story isn'tjust about the practicalities of helping — it's become intensely political. president trump has been criticised for not responding quickly enough, and he tweeted 18 times on the subject this weekend. "such poor leadership ability by the mayor of sanjuan, and others in puerto rico, who are not able to get their workers to help." "they want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort." you can imagine how that's gone down. aleem maqbool will help us cover the president's trip tomorrow. his report today comes from a place called ponce.

you can see where that big tree is? that's where the kitchen is over there, and the bathroom. luciano delgado points out the rooms of his home. there would otherwise be little way of telling what was here before hurricane maria tore it to shreds. so this is where you were? my goodness. explain what happened. i heard the noise and i said to get down. what is incredible is that luciano and his wife were in the house at the time it was destroyed, trapped in the living room for several hours before they could escape, miraculously unharmed. the wind and the water came in... but they have lost everything. and while they have heard us relief workers are on the island, no help has come their way yet. i think it came in four days or three days ago.

i haven't seen any american people to come and help. because everything is stuck in one area. in the airport. i don't know what is going on. but on the other side of town, the americans have just arrived. on a mission to one particular building. the reason the us military and emergency workers have come here is because it is an old peoples home, about two hours outside of the capital. this is the first time people here have seen any help at all, and they have been living without power and water since the hurricane. struggling up the stairs, we found this woman. she said she felt isolated since the hurricane, especially since communications are still down. it was terrible. nothing, nothing. nothing to eat. no water. no light.

no elavators. and i live on the second floor. her neighbour, 0rlando, mayb e one of the few who has been visited by american relief workers in the town. but he was scathing about the us response on this us territory. i think if we were a state and not a possession, we would have been treated differently. no—one has been here in the last ten days. isn't that proof enough? after visiting the old people's home, the americans left town. here, it is neighbours and the church doing most of the work. providing clothes and food where people have none. "glory to god", says the pastor of this church, "thank god we are here to help." for many, no—one else has come to help.

they are just waiting for life to get better. let's return to the story i mentioned a few minutes ago, the colla pse mentioned a few minutes ago, the collapse of monarch airlines, it is in administration, 300,000 bookings for future flights and holidays have been cancelled, and this is, the government says, the biggest peacetime repatriations under way, because thousands of passengers need help getting home. this is some of them talking earlier. we were flying to the canaries for a wedding blessing type of thing, we have got 30 at the airport, 36 coming out during the week. we would you do get on the plane and 4:35, and at about 4:20, they just on the plane and 4:35, and at about 4:20, theyjust said over the tannoy

it has been cancelled, monarch has gone bust. everybody is after flights here, there and everywhere, and it has cost me another six and had and £66 to get to where i want to go today, when i have already paid 1500. —— another £666. to go today, when i have already paid 1500. -- another £666. our plight has been affected, everything has been cancelled, as four o'clock this morning. —— ourflight. has been cancelled, as four o'clock this morning. -- our flight. we have been travelling for near an eight hours from the manchester, now we face the prospect of travelling back for eight hours to manchester.m you go to the monarch website, this is what you will find. this is the key quote, informing passengers that all future holidays and flights are now cancelled. here's richard westcott with more on what this means. rescue flights will very people home

over the next two weeks. 110,000 customers are currently abroad. they will get alternative flights at no extra cost. an additional three quarters of a million people have just lost future flights and holidays, although most should get their money back. 2100 staff will lose theirjobs. some of them met up in the pub after getting the bad news. there were a lot of tears this morning, very emotional at the administrators‘ meeting this morning, but it is one very big family. security problems in egypt, tunisia and turkey have cut demand for three of the most popular destinations for monarch. a weaker pound and a tougher market have made things worse. as fares become iribaren only down by as much as 20% this year, there was simply nowhere for them to go, they couldn‘t cut costs, they couldn‘t increase their fleet, and unfortunately the end that we have seen today was

practically almost inevitable. monarch‘s rivals will now decide if they want to buy out what is left of they want to buy out what is left of the business. richard westcott, bbc news, luton. if you need more information on monarch, you can find it on the bbc news website. our lead story on 0utside source is the attack on vegas — at least 58 people killed, over 500 have been injured. in the next half of the programme, we are going to turn to the issue of gun control, which has been discussed widely, not just control, which has been discussed widely, notjust in the us but around the world amongst people following the story. and questions about how gun control works in the us, anthony zurcher will be live from the newsroom in washington, send questions his way. i will speak to you in a couple of minutes. if you are jetting off over the next
