has died aged 66 after suffering a cardiac arrest. he was taken to hospital after being found unconscious at his home in malibu in california on sunday night. now, it is time for our newspaper review. what's making headlines around the world 7 an act of pure evil — that's what us president donald trump is calling yesterday's mass shooting at a concert in las vegas. that phrase was used in a lot of papers. the news is continuing to dominate the headlines, with the independent asking, "what will it take for america to lay down its weapons?" the collapse of monarch airlines is also making news. according to the daily telegraph, the uk government has ordered rival airlines not to raise prices to make a profit. the paper is also reporting on catalonia's independence referendum and the european commission's refusal to condemn spanish police violence against supporters. in the financial times,

uber‘s uk boss has quit the company on the eve of talks between its new chief executive and transport regulators over a decision to remove the car—hailing app's london licence. meanwhile, home—sharing app airbnb is doing extremely well in china! the south china morning post says the central government's new two child policy means a surge in newborns and that families want to holiday in the comfort of homes instead of traditional apartments. and, finally, singapore has introduced a bill to raise the legal smoking age to 21 and ban e—cigarettes. the straits timees says it's part of a plan to stop young people taking up smoking. so let's begin.

joining me now isjoseph sternberg, the europe editor of the wall streetjournal. good to see you. let us start with a depressing story, the latest depressing story, the latest depressing story, the latest depressing story from america in terms of gun massacres. what will it ta ke terms of gun massacres. what will it take for america to lay down its weapons? that is the question. certainly, a lot of people in europe are asking that question.” certainly, a lot of people in europe are asking that question. i think this is such a compensated issue in america and it is also not clearly a pa rt america and it is also not clearly a part issue. we have had a lotto in action and a lot of difficulty dealing with the gun violence problem, whether robert the republicans are in power or democrats are in power and it is because you have a bunch of complicated facts on the ground in terms of the number of guns in circulation. one of the things that struck me about this case is that

some of the weapons might have already been on a banned list, even in america's more permissive environment. you have people asking the question about how much is that problem, the proliferation of guns versus a violent culture. a few opinions. it seems extraordinary that this man can actually check into a casino with automatic weapons and ammunition and no questions asked a copy can actually do that in full view of everyone on the reception desk. it seems extraordinary to americans as well anything one thing to understand about this debate is that not even gun ownership, and it is appalling for everyone, and if you're in the system or if you have the constitutional constraint where it is always difficult for the government to try to impose any kind of controls on gun ownership, and

then you also have a culture of that in some ways can be much more violent than europe. i bristle a little bit when discussions like this automatically settle to the dumb —— gun—control issue and never seem to stray into any other areas. something like this, the more we learn about what happened here. an interesting aspect, i was a scene when the markets were doing, and gun companies are among the biggest rises on wall street because people then worry that they might not be able to buy guns, so they rush out and buy them, and people are also scared and want to make sure they have a weapon themselves. that is an important point, that latest issue because from the outside it can look like the gun is only a source of violence and in security. i think there is really an attitude among a lot of americans that the gun is a

form of self protection. i think many americans will either carry guns for self protection or no people who do, and so whenever you get into a discussion about gun control, people start eating about what provision are you making for law—abiding people who do want to protect themselves. what is that phrase, the one where you are defending yourself from a bad man for a defending yourself from a bad man fora gun is defending yourself from a bad man for a gun is to have a good man with a gun. let's go on to the telegraph. a terrifying picture of the woman fleeing from that. a couple of other stories. airlines warned not to profit from monarch. it seems that, ryanairand profit from monarch. it seems that, rya nair and others profit from monarch. it seems that, ryanair and others have been accused of raising their prices. that is more of an algorithm issue in terms of how these prices fluctuate in terms of demand.

think that the instinct when you have an incident like this where hundreds of thousands of people are in danger of having their holiday plans disrupted or might urgently need to visit a sick relative or something of that sort, and i think it is natural to want to step in and try to make the process as easy for them as possible. one of the things ifind them as possible. one of the things i find striking about this suggestion, that the government is discouraging other airlines from trying to raise their prices is is that going to make it harderfor people to get where they are going, it you are losing a market mechanism to try to meet around some of the more limited supply of airline seat that will be available now, so i think this is conflict between wanting to give a hand to people who have really been left stranded by the collapse of this airline, but then also trying to allow the market to do itsjob of then also trying to allow the market to do its job of matching supply to the demand. we have a few more stories to go

through. running out of time. we will quickly move on, talking about monarch, plenty more we can get into that. onto the other stories of the daily terror graph of the catalan independence —— daily terror —— telegraph. the worry for europe is that if there is a breakaway in part of spain, that europe potentially sta rts of spain, that europe potentially starts to unravel a little bit more. i think it is probably a good thing for the european commission to stay out of this one a little bit because spain are still a country that has full floor and a functioning to receive and if you believe that the prime minister was basically correct to try to stop an illegal vote from going ahead, then really, it is ultimately up to his voters as more details come out about this, about what they think about the tactics used. there will be accountability

there even if it is not from brussels. let's move on. the financial times, again, that very strong picture of the music fan running away from the concert. river's uk had quit over talks to renew licence. the one leaving said she wished she had left in smoother times, it is the understatement of all time. in terms of what they are talking about, what do they need to say to regulators to get them to change their mind? i think that they are going to need to address some of these concerns about safety that, clearly, the regulator has. i understand there is a question about the cooperation with the authorities when there are

allegations that drivers might have been involved in crime of one form oi’ been involved in crime of one form or another. i think there is also an issue where are the london government has to make a decision about how open they want to be too new competitors who i don't think it isa new competitors who i don't think it is a matter unless it is only one uber to figure out how to swear the regulators. i think the regulators need to figure out what our reasonable expectations to have. and we should have profit more willingly more information which they didn't. we are out of time. very good to see you. there will be more news coming up on brea kfast there will be more news coming up on breakfast and the news channels. hello. further strong winds at times this week, a risk of gales as we maintain a very autumnal flavour to our weather. this low—pressure system

was the wind—maker on monday. it's still producing some strong winds in the far north of scotland and northern isles as tuesday begins. elsewhere, high pressure's building in, the winds are easing a bit with high pressure building in, most places are going to be dry starting the day with plenty of sunshine. here's a look at things, eight o'clock in the morning. a few showers dotted about northern and western scotland, driven along quickly on this quite strong wind. far north of scotland, more especially into the western isles, there could be some gusts early on of about 50—60mph. one or two showers in the north—west of england, but very few and far between. for most of us, it'll be a dry start to the day. a good deal of sunshine. a breezy start, though, with temperatures a little bit lower than this away from the larger towns and city centres. some of us in single figures as the day begins, but there is that sunshine to compensate. some good sunny spells continuing throughout the day. just some patchy cloud developing. still a few showers running into western parts of scotland, but most places dry. it's a fresh—feeling breeze, mind you. out of some sunshine,

in that breeze, there will be a chill around. the temperatures for the most part in the mid—to—low teens. but, actually, not too far away from average for the time of year. tuesday evening, tuesday night, we'll see the showers in western scotland just merging to give some longer spells of rain in places. and the winds starting to pick up once again. certainly towards the far north of scotland, into orkney, a very windy start to wednesday morning. south of this area of rain, we'll see a lot of clear weather going into wednesday morning. quite chilly again under clear skies. some spots into mid, perhaps even low—single figures in the countryside. wednesday brings a band of rain southwards across scotland, eventually into parts of northern ireland, mainly north—west england as we go through the day. south of that, we'll hold onto some sunny spells. still be quite breezy, won't be much warmer. and, as we go into wednesday night, the rain gathering for northern ireland, and parts of northern england and wales, as this area of low pressure moves across the uk. parts of scotland seeing it, parts of the far north staying dry, but we are concerned about some of the rain and the impact.

it could be quite heavy on wednesday going through wednesday night into thursday morning. coastal gales. and then as the system gradually clears away from southern parts on thursday, it stays quite windy. a cool wind. there could be some gales with showers across eastern parts of the uk where it could be quite windy for a time on friday. but by friday, there's another area of high pressure building across the uk. the winds easing, and most places will end the week fine and dry. hello, this is breakfast, with louise minchin and dan walker. police try to work out the motive of the gunman who carried out one of the worst mass shootings in american history. the death toll from the attack on a music festival in las vegas has now risen to 59, with more than 500 others injured. it was the scariest time of my life. i thought it was over, i really did.

ididn't i thought it was over, i really did. i didn't know whether to get up, to run, to stay, to duck. i didn't know if it was safe to move, just because of everything that was going on. police discover explosives and weapons in the home of the gunman stephen paddock, as it emerges his father was once one of the fbi's most wanted men.
