to deal touch with property and how to deal with donations, pouring in. the police said that they cannot cope and evaded details. we will bring you the most significant parts. thank you forjoining me for outside source. decides las vegas we will keep you up—to—date on the other stories of the day. there has been a general strike in catalonia, huge crowds protesting the police violence during sunday's independence referendum, a referendum on the spanish constitutional courts say shouldn't have happened. earlier the king of spain addressed the nation. translation: these authorities have ina translation: these authorities have in a decisive weight placed themselves outside of the law and democracy. they wanted to break spain's unity. we now know that the las vegas attacker had 23 guns in

his hotel room. president trump called him demented. we are listening to the police conference as and when we get more details on the investigation we will pass them on. details of the victims are emerging, including a navy veteran, an off—duty police officer and a teacher. almost two weeks since hurricane maria hit puerto rico, president trump has arrived there. he has been rejecting criticism that the relief effort has not been enough. now, i hate to tell you, puerto rico, but you have thrown in our budget a little out of whack because we have spent a lot of money on puerto rico and that's fine, we have saved a lot of lives. not everyone appreciated mr trump making thatjoke. not everyone appreciated mr trump making that joke. let not everyone appreciated mr trump making thatjoke. let me know how you think he has handled it, #bbc os. we would get into the other stories of the day in a moment. we have seen mass shootings in the

us before and everyone is followed bya us before and everyone is followed by a passionate debate about gun control. this mass shooting is no different. hillary clinton has said this. echoing many calls that we have heard before. the nra is the national rifle association, it advocates for gun ownership in the us, gives politicians an awful lot of money. many of the people they donate to support gun ownership and oppose stricter gun control is. the nra has not commented since the attack. in fact its most recent tweet was on friday night promoting a conference. we would have expected them to have a view on this but so far they have not shared it. we have heard from the senior republican paul ryan. one of the things we have learned from these shootings is that often

underneath this is a diagnosis of mental illness. this is why we spent yea rs mental illness. this is why we spent years working on mental illness reform with congressmen murphy's bill and that is why the house representative pasta landmark mental health reform just a year ago and that law is now being implemented —— passed a landmark mental health reform. as we see the dust settle and see what is behind some of these tragedies, mental health reform is a critical ingredient to making sure we can try and prevent some of these things happening. that is one example of the things congress has done to try and make sure we can get ahead of these problems. was it a mistake to make it easier to let mentally ill people get a gun? he didn't fancy answering that question, it seems. in that press conference paul ryan confirmed congress was shelving a plan to make it easier to purchase gun silencer is. donald trump said he will look

at gun laws as time goes by, which isa at gun laws as time goes by, which is a hard phrase to assess but we know the republicans control congress, meaning any changes to gun laws look unlikely, given if the president supported those changes he would still have to get congress on board, and also there is no sign that he does support those changes. there is also another important thing to talk about, and that is the level of gun violence in the us. bbc reality check has been looking at this. here is chris morris. we tend to focus on these things when there are these horrific events like in las vegas but we should not forget there are people being murdered in gun related incidents and dying in gun related incidents in pretty much every state of the union every day. the latest figures we have from the us authorities are for 2015 when there were nearly 13,000 gun related homicides in that year. but it's notjust people being killed by others with guns for sub americans are also turning their guns on themselves in terrible numbers. in fact, the number of

suicides in 2015 was even higher, more than 22,000. put those figures together and well over 30,000 more than 22,000. put those figures together and well over 30 , 000 people dying in gun related incidents in just one year in the united states. now this is chris comparing america with other countries on this issue. there are countries around the world where the number of people who die per 100,000 of population in gun related murders is much higher. south africa, for example. there are others, el salvador, honduras, russia is even slightly higher than the united states. these numbers are averages over the period 2010—2015, the united states is 2.7 people per 100,000 of population. if you compare the american figures to other developed economies in the g7, the united states is far ahead in an unwelcome league table for places like canada, 0.5 people per 100,000 killed in gun related murders. the

united kingdom, 0.1. japan is so low it barely registers on the scale. in fa ct, it barely registers on the scale. in fact, the chances of being murdered by somebody with a gun injapan are pretty much the same as being hit by lightning in the united states. so there is clearly a big debate about gun ownership in the united states but it is unquestionable that your chances of dying in the us because of guns are far higher than in any other major western country. we are going to turn to kenya next and first a tweet from the country's top university which has been gathering lots of attention. i apologised, we still have tweets from the las vegas story up there. the university of nairobi as close to the university because of the deteriorating security situation. this is the main building where stu d e nts this is the main building where students will not be able to go. mrs biggs of clashes between police and stu d e nts biggs of clashes between police and students last week, the protests at the arrest of an opposition mp, this

man, former student leader. —— this is because of clashes. there were extended violent clashes, a number of arrests, the police accused of using unnecessary force, which they denied, but tear gas was used to break up the demonstrations. local media say 27 people were injured. there were further protests yesterday, these pictures in the west of kenya, also further protests in nairobi, more tear gas used, more protesters dispelled. this is all a head of a repeat of the general election which will take place in three weeks. the opposition said there were irregularities in the electoral process and the supreme court agreed so it has to happen again. the electoral commission met and this is what they found. the electoral commission has held consultations in that room with the various political parties which

participated in the october election. first up the opposition party represented by the presidential candidate. after that meeting the opposition said they had not agreed on anything. the opposition party has set out certain conditions that must be met before they can participate in the august 26 election, among them the sacking of some of the officials who took pa rt of some of the officials who took part in the august the 8th election, including the chief executive of the commission. they also want the commission. they also want the commission to discontinue its contracts with some of its suppliers, including the printing firm and a french firm that supported its technology. they have also raised concerns with the electronic transmission system, which they want audited fast. but none of this, they say, has been met. we still insist that the demands must be met for the purposes of holding an election. within 60 days

and also for the purposes of ensuring that that repeat election, the fresh election, is going to be held in accordance with the constitution. and the applicable law, including the decision of the supreme court. the ruling party also held consultations with the electoral commission. the president did not come, however he was represented by his deputy. the ruling party says that they are ready for the fresh election and have urged the other side to also get ready for it and that it must be done on the 26th of october. the ibc has briefed us on the state of their preparedness and we are happy with their preparations that are being put in place as a party we have no conditions. we have no minimum

conditions. we have no minimum conditions. we have no minimum conditions. we have no irreducible minimum conditions. when the supreme court nullified the results of the august presidential election, they issued very clear instructions to the electoral commission that they must strictly adhere to the law in the conduct of a fresh election. and if not, the supreme courtjudges did say that they might as well nullified the results of the repeat election. anne soy, bbc news, nairobi. plenty of information on the kenyan election campaign on the bbc news website along with the latest of elements from las vegas. you can find it/ news, or download the bbc news app onto your smartphone. —— bbc news.com. in the uk it is the second day of the tory party conference. brexit has dominated proceedings. today, brexit and also boris, because one of the most anticipated speeches of the conference has come in the form

of one from the foreign secretary borisjohnson. there was, we are told from norman smith, perhaps a change in title for the speech. he says this. norman uses the hashtag farewell to leo. call it whatever you like, here is some of the speech. look at the united kingdom, the lowest unemployment rate in 42 yea rs, lowest unemployment rate in 42 years, highest number of people in work ever, the number one destination for investment into europe, and every time one of these fa cts europe, and every time one of these facts emerge as it is reported in tones of slight disappointment, with the inevitable qualification, despite brexit. it is time to stop treating the referendum result as though it were a plague of boils or an inexplicable aberration by millions of people. it's time to be bold, time to seize the opportunities. we are not the lion. we do not claim, like some others,

to be the lion. that role is played by the people of this country. but it is up to us now, in the traditional nonthreatening and genial self—deprecating way of the british to let that lion roar. thank you very much. applause mrjohnson almost roared the word roar at the end. he got a decent response as well. the bbc‘s nick robinson who presents the today programme said. george eaton in the new statesman, the lion retreats, borisjohnson new statesman, the lion retreats, boris johnson plays new statesman, the lion retreats, borisjohnson plays itself in underworld —— underwhelming speech.

a couple of days back the uk independence party announced its new logo. there it is, a lion featuring heavily. boris johnson logo. there it is, a lion featuring heavily. borisjohnson is a tory but his brexit position is perhaps closer to ukip's in some of theresa may's cabinet ministers. he has written a high—profile article and gave a high—profile interview the other day in ways that appeared to be challenging the prime minister's position on brexit, something that he denies. as you can see in this cartoon from the times, the point being made here is that perhaps he is setting himself up in opposition to theresa may, that he has aspirations to have herjob. something again he categorically denies. what we can be certain about, though, is the prime minister is being asked about borisjohnson in every single interview she does at the moment. today she had to explain why mrjohnson has kept his job in the cabinet. i don't set red lines in the way everybody uses this phrase redlines. i don't set those

sort of red lines and all i would say to this is that actually i think leadership is about ensuring you have a team of people who are not yes—men, but a team of people of different voices around the table, so that we can discuss matters, come to an agreement and put the government view forward. that is exactly what we have done. next week on here from alex forsyth who is in manchester for the tory conference, with her assessment of boris johnson's speech —— we can hear from. this was a widely anticipated speech because lots of the conversation at the conservative party conference has been about the role of the foreign secretary boris - and has been about the role of the foreign secretary in ris 49>; 5”a'tid4r'"i”:: ; 3' has been about the role of the foreign secretary in recent”; 5”a'tid4r'"i”:: ; 3' weeks m- people thoughtthat'wash‘rn'r the people thoughtthet'weehh‘rn'r the prime minister, undermining the prime minister, trying to position himself as the chief brexit here in the cabinet. lots of people wanted to hear exactly what you would say when he took to the stage. borisjohnson was loyal to the prime minister theresa may during that speech and said that

the cabinet was behind every sylla ble the cabinet was behind every syllable of the speech she had given not so long ago in florence, setting out her view and approach to brexit. he was also optimistic about the uk's future outside the european union. that did go down pretty well in the hall with the people gathered there to watch him. there was clapping and moments of laughter, and a really warm reception for the foreign secretary's speech, and i think it probably would have gone down well with prime minister theresa may because he was very clear in public in the suggesting he was firmly behind her. in terms of brexit detail, the foreign secretary has given us plenty in long articles and interviews in newspapers. did he get into the nitty—gritty of precisely what he is looking for? yes, you are right, borisjohnson has set out what he sees as some of his redlines brandy brexit process, one, for example, being that any transition period after the uk leads the european union should not be a second more than two years. today he avoided that level of detail and

didn't repeat any of his redlines, he didn't talk about them in any great depth or what the relationship between the uk and european union should be. it was much more a tub thumping speech of optimism about uk's future when it leaves the european union and said the referendum result should not be treated like a plague of boils, the future was bright and it was a rallying call to people to say that brexit is happening and it is no bad thing. the prime minister's speech at the conservative party conference is still to come. if you watch outside source regularly, i can access any copy coming through the bbc news this screen this at this screen this is» ~ —— — ‘ a ‘a bbc interview -- the coming after a bbc interview —— the bbc newsroom. it is from us alone from tom burridge. the catalan leader, in his first interview since the dramatic day on sunday, where an independence referendum was held and the spanish government says it didn't happen, and it was illegal,

the catalan leader said his government would act at the end of this week or the beginning of next. that gets your attention. so does the second part of this copy from tom pett where we are told in his first interview since sunday the cata la n first interview since sunday the catalan leader said his government would act... that's the one i've shown you already. this is the one i wa nt to shown you already. this is the one i want to show you, the his region will declare independence from spain ina will declare independence from spain in a matter of days. we have the president of catalonia telling bbc news he and the regional government he represents intends to declare independence from spain in a matter of days. the context of this is the spanish constitutional court ruled that the vote on sunday should not have gone ahead. the spanish government says it didn't go ahead and it can't be treated as a referendum. just over an hour ago we we re referendum. just over an hour ago we were watching the king of spain attacking the leaders in catalonia, saying they were undermining spain's unity, saying they were undermining spain's democratic principles. well, no sign of those leaders backing down. just to reiterate, the

president of catalonia telling the bbc the region will declare independence from spain in a matter of days. that doesn't mean it is going to happen. an article in the spanish constitution allows the spanish constitution allows the spanish government to dissolve the regional parliament and introduce direct rule from madrid. constitutionally that option is open, but of course after you saw the clashes on sunday, you can only imagine how such an act would be greeted by those in catalonia. not eve ryo ne greeted by those in catalonia. not everyone in catalonia but those in catalonia who would like their region to become an independent state. this is a major escalation in the story and we will come back to it tomorrow on the programme. i want to turn to a story that bbc burmese put us on to. this woman here has a facebook page and she posted to tell us that because of things that she has done she has had to lose a beauty queen title that she won in may and has been told to stand down because of things she has

done related to video she has done dummett put up accusing rohingya mostly militants in the rakhine state of myanmar of being responsible for the crisis we have been covering for the last few weeks. i've been talking to a correspondent from bbc burmese with more details on this. the attacks of the canon five star movement carried out in the last month by the so—called rohingya salvation army are already out of proportion but it's even more in dominic unfortunate that they and their powerful supporters behind them have administered a more or less successful media campaign so that harbingers of terror and violence themselves are now seen as if they are the oppressed. that was the video i was first referring to. before i play you bbc burmese, rakhine state neighbours bangladesh and it is from that many

hundreds of hundreds of thousands of people have travelled across the border. in the last couple of days we have had more pictures coming in, although i'm having problems with the screen so i will tell you that yesterday the un said more than 14,000 yesterday the un said more than 111,000 children are at risk of dying from malnutrition. at the weekend we we re from malnutrition. at the weekend we were told people were being moved into a new camp because of the number of people who had come across the border. as promised here is the report from bbc burmese. in theory this is a government line and a lot of people support this. there is so much hostility towards the rohingya muslim and what she's about is this is what happened in the country, the villagers were attacked by this armed group and that is all she is saying but then nevertheless this is not going down well with the miss

universe organisers. but on facebook, ijust universe organisers. but on facebook, i just checked universe organisers. but on facebook, ijust checked facebook and she got massive support, people are supporting, people are saying they are standing by her and also supporting her views. but the hostility towards ringo rohingya muslim is didn't start with those attacks on police stations a few weeks ago, did it? no, it's been an ongoing problem, rohingya s are not accepted, even the name rohingyas you are not allowed to use in the country. so much hostility. it didn't help because recently went aung san suu kyi gave a statement on the crisis in rakhine state, she didn't even mention the name. she didn't even mention the name. she didn't even mention about what was happening, the number of people, 500,000 people fleeing to bangladesh, she didn't even say that. so a lot of people inside the

country think that what the bbc is putting out and the way the bbc is covering the story, it has been distorted and we are misinforming the audience inside the country. there is a lot of people now trying to disassociate themselves from the bbc. nevertheless, what we are having on social media is a lot of attacks and abuse on social media and bbc coverage being undermined com pletely and bbc coverage being undermined completely by the officials as well. they posted on the government sponsored newspapers interviews and on television that the bbc had been buried biased on our coverage of this crisis. that is quite a change in the situation given the close relationship between aung san suu kyiand relationship between aung san suu kyi and bbc world service over the last few years. let me g you about

story of l story of , bbc we source yesterday carried on outside source yesterday relating to the hundreds of thousands of refugees in bangladesh. any development on that? according to the reports we are receiving they have agreed to take all the refugees, derange refugees, as long as they prove that they belong to those villages —— the rohingya refugees. that is a tricky business. they need to show their documents. if they don't have their they need to show their documents. if they don't ha have yir iffifie % ewe.

the scene today, of the music festival where 59 people were shot dead and more than 500 were injured on sunday night. the gunman, stephen paddock, was a wealthy retired accountant, who'd collected dozens of weapons. he was a sick man, a demented man. a lot of problems, i guess, and we are looking into him very, very seriously. but we are dealing with a very, very sick individual. here in las vegas tonight, there are so many questions about the senseless killing of scores of people. why did it happen, and can society do more to prevent such tragedies in the future? we'll have more on some of the victims, and we'll report
