cast a shadow over what has been a successful carnival. 16,000 people we nt successful carnival. 16,000 people went through yesterday having the time of their lives. after the carnival had closed, this idiot uses a firearm to shoot pellets and people legs. it is absolutely disgraceful. we are not allowing this person to spoil the party. the carnival continues as usual. 30 yea rs carnival continues as usual. 30 years ago, this is the had a bad reputation forgotten crime. it has changed a lot since then. you worried this situation made bring back peoples worries? not really. this behaviour could happen anywhere in this country. this is a very changed community. i am proud of this community and this people. 16,000 people at the celebrations yesterday as an indication of the

off from cape canaveral in florida this morning. it will travel faster than any previous space mission, and enter the solar atmosphere where temperatures reach millions of degrees centrigrade. michael cowan reports. five, four, three, two, one, zero. nasa's parker solar probe taking off this morning from cape canaveral in florida. a daring mission to shed light on the mysteries of our closest star, the sun. it was a relief for many after yesterday's planned launch was aborted with moments to go. trajectory looking good. travelling at speeds of up to 430,000 mph, it will be the fastest man—made object in history. and it's the first time the spacecraft has been named after a living person. 91—year—old solar physicist eugene parker, he was the first person to describe solar winds in the 1950s and he was at the launch.

all i am going to say is wow, here we go, we're in for some learning over the next several years. it will take three months for the probe to get there and it will pass by venus on its route in six weeks' time. it's the closest we will have ever been to the sun, about 4 million miles from the surface. the probe will stay in the outer atmosphere, known as the corona, spending seven years looping around the star. but it's hot, around 1300 degrees celsius, meaning one of the keyjobs for nasa was keeping this probe cool, as dr nicky fox explains. we have a wonderful heat shield that we keep orientated between us and the sun, and so it keeps everything in the main body of the spacecraft nice and cool. it kind of creates a shadow. from the corona, the sun releases charged particles and magnetic fields, which are carried to earth on solar winds. these winds create breathtaking spectacles like the northern lights. but bigger outbursts from the sun

can be problematic, causing disruptions to communications, knocking satellites off—line and can cause power grids to surge. nasa's hope is that this research will result in more accurate forecasting making us better prepared for solar weather events. michael cowan, bbc news. the government says its planning to introduce new offences of causing death by dangerous or careless cycling. under the proposal cyclists who kill pedestrians would be treated in a similar way to dangerous drivers, who face a prison sentence up to 1a years. cycling campaigners are calling for wider reform of road safety legislation. simonjones reports. kim briggs was knocked over by a cyclist in london in 2016. she died a week later. the bike that hit her shouldn't have been on the road. it was designed for the velodrome, with no front brake. charlie alliston was riding it. he was cleared of manslaughter but sentenced to 18 months for causing bodily harm by wanton and dangerous driving,

under a law from victorian times. there is no cycling equivalent of the offence of creating death by dangerous driving. the government will now consider whether that should change in england, scotland and wales. we were very concerned because there has been whatever is a gap in the law relating to dangerous cycling. the potential offence of death or serious injury caused by that. the gap was highlighted by the case last year. the government are missing an opportunity. what they should be doing is having a full review of road traffic offences and penalties. four years ago, they said they would do it. what we have is a review of cycling offences on their own. the whole system in relation to road traffic offences

and penalties isn't working. the government says it is doing more to keep cyclists themselves safe, trying to prevent drivers passing too closely the bikes. a remembrance service will take place in county tyrone later this afternoon ahead of the 20th anniversary of the 0magh bombing 29 people — including a woman pregnant with twins — were killed in a car bomb attack on the town's high street in 1998. it was carried out by the dissident republican real ira, several months after the signing of the good friday agreement. 0ur correspondentjohn campbell is in 0magh. the final preparations for today's ceremony are taking place behind me. the inscription on the memorial gives you some idea of what happened here. it said ordinary people doing ordinary things on an ordinary day. 29 people were killed. a

grandmother, two schoolgirls, and some schoolboys who had been on a trip. 0ne some schoolboys who had been on a trip. one of those is kevin here. give me an idea of what the last 20 yea rs have give me an idea of what the last 20 years have been like for you and yourfamily. years have been like for you and your family. they have been very hard. we had no chance of grieving because everything was fast. this place was always in the spotlight and you never got time to yourself. i'm hoping that after today we can be left in peace to move on with what is left of our lives. some of the things that have went on cannot continue. the ceremony here today is due to be the last public ceremony.

you're involved in an event on wednesday. do you think it is right that the commemorations become less often ? that the commemorations become less often? yes. if they are going to have won again, have it in 30 years. the time has come to... for me, this is it. in terms of the struggle for the families, no one has been subject to a criminal conviction for the attack. some people were held to be liable. do you ever see anyone being successfully convicted for your wife's murder? no. i said nobody would be convicted. we are not the only ones. there are other victims. their loved ones were

murdered and no one was convicted. no one will be convicted because the peace process is the most important thing to certain individuals. nothing else matters. we are going to get nojustice. nothing else matters. we are going to get no justice. would you like to see a process of truth recovery? unless you're going to get the whole truth, no. the british government may give you half the truth and irish government may give you half the truth. gerry adams may know the truth. we make as well forget about it. i know it is going to her people, but people have been hurt before. we have got to move forward. this is the last annual ceremony for remembrance. this is a town which is not going to forget. as kevin was

suggesting, people continue to member their loved ones. the headlines on bbc news... ten people, incuding two children, are hospitalised with pellet—type injuries after shots are fired in the moss side area of manchester. nasa's parker solar probe which will analyse the sun's atmosphere for the first time has successfully launched from cape canaveral in florida. rail passengers in north—west england face a second sunday of disruption, as operator northern cancels around 80 services. the rail service northern has cancelled about 80 rail services today for another weekend. services across north—west england have been affected as engineering projects caused problems with scheduling crews. the cancellations are impacting areas including cumbria, liverpool, lancashire and greater manchester. well, earlier today i spoke to craig johnstone of the rmt union

who told me the cancellations are damaging the economy in the north of england it isn'tjust on sundays we are having this problem. 0n fridays, according to the passenger user group, they cancelled around hundred services cancelled more on friday. it isn'tjust sundays. it is happening on weekdays as well. less services. the basic thinking is that they would be able to run a more robust timetable. however, that doesn't seem to be the case. 0n weekdays it is a shambles as well. people just don't find it reliable any more. our business correspondent joe lynham joins me now. joe — how significant are these cancellations? the explanation is that planned

engineering works meant they couldn't get the stuff they required to offer a full schedule. most real workers volunteered to work on weekends and paid overtime. they don't have to turn up. not rostered and that sense. they usually get the staff. we had this problem during the world cup final. the tame table has been disrupted and 80 services... 1500 train services have been affected. it is not a huge chunk. northern is owned by a reefer. it —— by arriva—mac. they

are advising anyone who thinks of travelling on sunday to plan their route carefully. the largest union trade union are angry about this and think reeve should be kicked the tracks. since may we have had a new train timetable and that has led to thousands of train services being cancelled. tens of hundreds of passengers have been disrupted. there have also been issues with prices going up in the nearfuture. nationalised raise... real service has been created. more strikes are on the way. there is a long—running dispute over guards on trains. on the way. there is a long—running dispute over guards on trainsm doesn't seem to be going away any time soon. the family of the airport worker who stole an empty passenger plane from seattle airport — before crashing into an island — say they are "devastated" and "in complete shock". richard russell — an employee with the ground staff — performed aerobatic manouevres before crashing on a nearby island. it's thought he was killed instantly.

no—one else was on board. jenny kumah reports. this is the man thought to have stolen a passenger jet from seattle airport on friday. a member of the public recorded the plane as it performed erratic manoeuvres across the evening skyline, forcing the airport's closure. we arejust we are just trying to find a place for you to land safely. soon after, two fighterjets escorted the plane out of harm's way, but according to authorities, they were not instrumental in bringing it down.

a family friend described richard russell, whose nickname was beebo, as a family man, and spoke of their shock. on behalf of the family, we are stunned and heartbroken. it may seem difficult for those watching at home to believe, but beebo was a warm, compassionate man. it is impossible to encompass who he was in a press release. he was a faithful husband, a loving son, and a good friend. a childhood friend remarked that beebo was loved by everyone, because he was kind and gentle to each person he met. this is a complete shock to us. we are devastated by these events. the fbi say they are working alongside agents from the national transportation safety board to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident, but they believe richard russell was the only person on board. the nobel prize winning author, sir vs naipaul, has

died at the age of 85. his best—known books include a house for mr biswas, a bend in the river and in a free state, which won the booker prize. born in trinidad to an indian father, many of his works focused on the traumas of post—colonial change. the author, paul theroux, said vs naipaul had been "one of the greatest writers of our time". several years ago he spoke to the bbc about his work. i really got to know him when the bbc called me and said will you review his book called india, a million mutinies, that is the third book he had written an india and as i read it to review it and go on the bbc to book a programme he wanted to speak to me and i said to him, we will do this, and he said what should we talk about and i said we will talk about your books

and he came with the kind of spirit about what this book man will say to him and when we sat down in front of the cameras i said you seem to have made progress from your first two books on india, it's a much more gentle book and he said oh dear, you are already giving the marks. he was opinionated and pompous and did not sufferfools gladly but he did it because his world vision divided the world, he had no idea of nationalism so if he saw people on the streets sir vs naipaul, who's died at the age of 85. if you're planning to catch a movie this weekend, you might be deciding whether to watch one at home or on the big screen.

well, now it could be big screens. new technology means films can now be projected onto the side walls of the cinema, as well as the main screen, to deliver a more "immersive" experience. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba reports. it is summer blockbuster season. do you copy? so, audiences are looking forward to the next big thing to excite them at the movies. over the years, there have been plenty of new innovations to try and bring bigger audiences into cinemas. there has been imax where the screen is bigger and more detailed. 3—d, to try and make people feel they are actually there. and now, this, screen x where the image actually surrounds the audience. as well as the pictures being projected onto the main screen, they are also shown on the left and the right walls. the idea is to make a film much more immersive, with viewers also experiencing images through their peripheral vision. it is supported by some

of hollywood's biggest studios. i fight bad guys like you. them providing additional left and right camera footage is what screen x relies on. as screen x sign up more cinemas, we are confident that more films are going to come into the mix and give opportunity to come to screen x. so we have heard it a few times before with things like faster frame rates or 3—d, do you think this is the future of cinema, really? we hope so, but we have to stay ahead of the game and keep offering our customers the newest technology coming onto the market to keep them coming into this and more. the multi—projection system has been put here by the uk's biggest cinema chain, cineworld. the multiplex at the 02 in london is the first to showcase the new technology with plans to expand to other sites over the next few months. the real test will be the reaction from audiences. they are the ones who will ultimately decide whether this might just end up as another unsuccessful gimmick or become a widely enjoyed new cinema format.

lizo mzimba, bbc news. hull has been taken over by giant tumbling dominoes. they weaved their way though streets yesterday, passing through people's homes and even climbed up stairs. three, two, one...! as the first domino was pushed, it created a chain reaction across the city. tens of thousands of dominoes weaved their way through streets, public squares and in and around key buildings. this is one of the more complicated sections. the dominoes are heading through the city hall, up the stairs and then tumbling off the balcony. it was amazing!

and i think it must have took them so long to just plan out and just the idea of it isjust mind—boggling, but it works. it was just really good. i was a bit worried to see that it would work or not but it really works and i really liked it. we had fun, we were impressed, we have seen the first time things like that in her life. creating this spectacle has taken months of preparation, hours of construction and practice. the target area is quite small. we're quite a way up so we've got to test it out, find out quite where it falls and where to start the new line. it is also quite tricky getting over this parapet so we are having to use a little gangplank to get the blocks out far enough and they don't hit the building on our way down. in total, 12,000 breeze blocks had to be assembled and it was all done with the help of a50 volunteers. it's not very good, that.

it's better leaning, that one as well, isnt' it? the training is more or less done on a flat thing but we knew it would be a bit tricky if we got onto the cobbles. more than 20 of these runs have taken place through different cities but this one in hull is one of the longest, at approximately 2 miles. the wonderful thing about the dominoes project is that although it's been everywhere, it's built for the place that it's in in so this is absolutely hull—specific. but there were a few mishaps along the way. oh, no, save it! and at the final crescendo, there were still a few pieces standing. the one at the end didn't quite work but that's all right, the whole thing is vulnerable and fragile, as well as being kind of concrete, and that's part of the joy of it, is that it can go wrong. it's not the end of the world, really? although the calculations

didn't always work, maths, science and art came together for an hour—long moving sculpture. leanne brown, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather we can cross the newsroom to sarah keith lucas we had some decent spells of sunshine yesterday. today is a different picture. we have more code around. there are outbreaks of rain. not everywhere is sheen sharers this afternoon. from the west, a return to something a little sunnier. it is a mixture of sunni weather and heavy showers. they had to mess. not

eve ryo ne showers. they had to mess. not everyone is seeing them. more sharers from many parts of the country. the temperatures are around 4015 degrees. tomorrow will be an improved do. some heavy showers and parts of northern england. hello, this is bbc news, the headlines: ten people, including two children, have been taken to hospital with "pellet—like" injuries after shootings in manchester's moss side area. police say one man is in a serious but stable condition. nasa's daring solar probe mission has successfully launched from cape canaveral in florida after the launch was called off yesterday. the mission will analyse the sun's atmosphere for the first time. rail operator northern has cancelled around 80 train services across north—west england today, another sunday of disruption for thousands of passengers.
