this is bbc news i'm shaun ley. the headlines at six. police in manchester say a shotgun was likely used in a shooting in the city's moss side area last night — ten people, including two childern, sustained pellet—type injuries. we're launching an investigation, which is investigating attempt murder. and it would be obvious to anybody discharging a firearm in a crowded place such as this, many people were going to become injured. three, two, one, zero... liftoff. nasa's ambitious mission to the sun launches from cape canaveral, 2a hours after its launch was cancelled due to a last—minute hitch. hundreds of british troops arrive in kabul to support the afghan army in their conflict with the taliban. chaos in cornwall — the county struggles to cope with "unprecedented mass tourism" following the recent summer heatwave.

a remembrance service is held to mark the 20th anniversary of the omagh bombing — 29 people were killed in a car bomb attack in the county tyrone town in 1998. england thump india by an innings and 159 runs to take a 2—0 lead in the five match test series. we'll have that and the rest of the day's action — on sportsday in half an hour here on bbc news. good evening. ten people, including two children, have been treated in hospital following a shooting in manchester's moss side, which the police have described as attempted murder. a caribbean carnival had been

taking place nearby, but had finished some time before the attack took place. police said it was "a reckless act that could have had devastating consequences". from moss side, megan paterson reports. thousands of people enjoy manchester's caribbean carnival every year. yesterday it was no exception. but after the event finished at a large party a few streets away, shots were heard. officers arrived on the scene at 2:30am this morning, some were armed. nine people, including two children, suffered pellet—type wounds and another man has leg injuries. whilst the injuries are serious, they are not life—threatening. i think it's more by luck that's occurred and actually, discharging a firearm in a crowded place like that, we could be investigating here a murder, as opposed to an attempt murder investigation. over the last 30 years this area has changed dramatically. guns and violence were

once commonplace here. this incident has caused anger and frustration for the community leaders who have worked hard to change this neighbourhood's reputation. i live in moss side, i love moss side, i breathe the air of moss side. i've been there for a long time and i'll continue to spread the good word about this community. but situations like this don't help and it's about sending the messages to the people. extra reassurances are today being given to people living in the area. we are very, very proud of moss side, very proud of the people that live around here. it is a fantastic, thriving community. 16,000 people at the celebration yesterday is an indication of the strength in this community. we're not going to allow this one idiot to cast a shadow over moss side or the carnival. an attempted murder investigation continues in moss side this evening. the community, as eager as the police, to understand what happened here. a spacecraft launched by nasa from cape canaveral in florida has begun a long journey towards the sun and an orbit that will get it closer to the surface of the star than any previous mission. the parker solar probe

is about the size of a car and protected by a special heat shield which will allow it to function in searing temperatures. 0ur science correspondent pallab ghosh has this report. three, two, one, zero — lift off. into the night, and on its way to touch the sun. a daring mission to shed light on the mysteries of our closest star, the sun. nasa's parker solar probe will get closer to the sun than any spacecraft before it, actually dipping into the sun's atmosphere. trajectory looking good, right down the middle... the probe was named after the 91—year—old solar physicist eugene parker, who was at the launch. all i'm going to say is, wow, here we go, we're in for some learning over the next several years. it'll travel at 120 miles each

second, faster than any other probe. even so, it will take three months to reach the sun, passing venus on the way. the spacecraft will spend seven years looping around the sun, and it'll get hot — 1300 degrees celsius. we have a wonderful heat shield that we keep oriented between us and the sun, and so it keeps everything in the main body of the spacecraft nice and cool and kind of creates a shadow. and it has a white coating on it that was specially designed for parker solar probe. very much like you'd prefer to be in a white car on a hot day instead of a black car on a hot day. the probe will study the sun's atmosphere, which can be seen from earth during a total eclipse. shimmering and beautiful from so far away, violent and tumultuous close—up. this is a real picture from a previous mission. the parker probe will look even closer. it's really important that we study the sun because it affects our lives on earth in so many ways,

so there's a lot we don't understand about the sun, for example the sun's atmosphere is far hotter than its surface, which is the opposite of the case from the earth. and we don't really understand why, and parker solar probe will help us understand those things for the first time. the northern lights are caused by particles spat out by the solar atmosphere. these same particles can disrupt power points and communications. by studying the sun, scientists hope to be able to predict these events and learn more about a star on which all life on earth depends. pallab ghosh, bbc news. the government says it's 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 butjailed for 18 months for causing bodily harm by wanton or furious driving, under a law from victorian times. there is no cycling equivalent of the offence of causing death by dangerous driving. with the support of kim briggs' family, the government will now consider whether that should change in england, scotland and wales. we were very concerned because there has been a worry that there was a gap in the law relating to dangerous and careless cycling and the potential offence of death or serious injury caused by that. of course, the gap was highlighted by the alliston case last year. campaigners say adding an couple of new offences specific to cyclists isn't going far enough. the government are

missing an opportunity. what they should be doing is having a full review of all road traffic offences and penalties. they've ducked that. four years ago, they said they would do it. what we've ended up with 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 also doing more to keep cyclists themselves safe, with improvements to the highway code planned to try to stop drivers passing too closely to bikes. simon jones, bbc news. northern rail cancelled around 80 of its train services today, affecting journeys to liverpool, lancashire and greater manchester. the rail company blamed engineering problems. it follows similar disruption last weekend , and on the day of the world cup final. the company said the cancellations would offer passengers "more certainty in planning their journeys". the rmt union again called for northern to be stripped of its franchise. three british men have been charged with assisting unlawful entry intro britain after four people

were rescued from a fishing boat off the coast of kent on thursday. the group, which included two men, a pregnant woman and a child are said to be iraqi nationals and were found in a fishing vessel near ramsgate harbour. a remembrance service has been taking place to mark the 20th anniversary of the 0magh bombing. 29 people were killed when a car bomb planted by dissident republicans exploded in the town. 0ur correspondentjohn campbell is in 0magh now. the memorial behind me describes an ordinary day when ordinary people we re ordinary day when ordinary people were doing ordinary things. 21 people died almost instantly on the streets of 0magh, another egg died in hospital or on the way to hospital. among the victims were a grandmother, two babies and a woman pregnant with twins. in many ways the families haven't been able to grieve privately. that is because in the 20 years since the bombing they

have had to carry out a public campaign to try to bring the perpetrators before the courts. as it stands, nobody has been convicted for their involvement in the 0magh bombings. 0ne for their involvement in the 0magh bombings. one of the speakers said todayjustice delayed bombings. one of the speakers said today justice delayed is justice denied. another, michael gallagher, who lost his son in the bombing called on the politicians of northern ireland to work together because his family and the people here had paid the ultimate price for division. there is a change in emphasis from the families now, this will no longer be an annual occasion. instead the families will grieve and remember in a way that is more private and personal. but for so more private and personal. but for so many of the families, that fight for justice is still so many of the families, that fight forjustice is still important and they will continue to campaign for a public enquiry. fighting is continuing today in the afghan city of ghazni where the taliban have attacked police headquarters and government buildings. 17 years on from the us—led invasion of afghanistan, british troops who are part of an increased uk military

presence have been arriivng in the capital kabul. the hope is to support afghan troops and diplomatic efforts to end the conflict. 0ur defence correspondent jonathan beale reports. back to the dust and heat of helmand. this, the place where hundreds of british troops were killed, and which nearly fell to the taliban when they departed. four years ago the british left for good, but the americans soon returned. albeit in smaller numbers. now they are on their own, patrolling what was the sprawling british base of camp bastian. it was necessary for us to come back in here a couple of years ago. if that had not happened, i would imagine that helmand would be pretty solidly under the control of the taliban right now. at night, us marines fire illumination rounds to deter any attack.

as well as lethal long—range artillery rockets to target enemy positions. by day, they oversee the training of the afghan army and the soldiers need all the help they can get. their unit has already suffered heavy losses. the core right now is sitting at about 30%. 30% of what it should be? yes, that's right. that's a worry, isn't it? it is, but there's time, time of recruiting, constant advising and the senior leadership will improve the situation. we joined the afghan army out on patrol on the main highway to helmand. this, the road regularly targeted by taliban roadside bombs. but our escorts are more interested in their entertainment along the way. they still don't always look

or sound like a professional army. the afghan army is now leading the fight. but they are well below strength, suffering high rates of attrition, whether through casualties or desertions, and they are still only just able to secure central helmand where most of the population lives. britain may have turned its back on helmand, but it does have a presence here in the capital kabul. 0n the ground, british soldiers have been tasked with transporting international advisers safely round the city. it's this mission that's been boosted by another 440 uk troops. it's still america that's doing the heavy lifting, but it's talking, not fighting that will change the course of this war. nobody is talking about fighting their way to victory any more.

victory now is a political settlement and that is more than ever on the cards. but there's still no peace process, and for these afghan soldiers there's still no end in sight to 17 long years of war. jonathan beale, bbc news, kabul. fellow writers have been paying tribute to the british nobel prize winner, sir v s naipaul, who's died at his home in london. 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. 0ur arts correspondent david sillito has been looking back at his life. the bookcase had been made at short hills by an out of work blacksmith, who wished to show his gratitude to mr biswas. a house for mr biswas in 1961, established v s naipaul‘s name as a writer. it was inspired by his own life, an oxford educated author, whose roots lay in the indentured

indian workforce of the caribbean sugar plantations. i was born in trinidad. all these facets of one's background, personality and life have to be explored. in 2001, he was awarded the nobel prize for literature. it was just one of many awards, but sir vidiadhar could also be gruff, prickly, his views on islam and africa ensured he had his critics. he was not afraid of upsetting people. he didn't try to keep the worst aspect of his earlier behaviour away from the sight of the biographer. in the end, it's not the personality traits, rather it's the books, the works of literature that will endure. the writer, salman rushdie, said even though they'd disagreed all their lives, he felt he'd lost a beloved elder brother. the scholarship boy from trinidad that arrived in oxford in the 50s, was always something

of an outsider looking in. his gaze could be unforgiving, but it was almost always worth reading. to understand me, you've got to know that writing is the most important aspect of my life. so, it's a kind of magic. it's a kind of magic. the headlines on bbc news... police say the ten people hurt in a shooting in moss side in manchester were likely injured by a shotgun — officers are investigating the incident as attempted murder. nasa's ‘parker solar probe' which will analyse the sun's atmosphere for the first time has successfully launched from cape canaveral in florida. more british troops arrive in the afghan capital kabul to support the country's army in their conflict with the taliban. the family of the airport worker who stole an empty passenger plane

from seattle airport in the united states, 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 are trying to find a place for you to land safely. i am not ready to bring it downjust yet, but holy smokes, i have got its start taking ca re of smokes, i have got its start taking care of the field because it is coming down quick. 0k, start a

left—hand turn and it will take you down to the south east, please. this is probablyjail time down to the south east, please. this is probably jail time for life? 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. cornwall is "struggling to cope" with "unprecedented mass tourism" this summer according to visit cornwall, the county's tourist board. it said that it has actively stopped promoting two beaches because of problems caused by overcrowding. porthcurno beach and kynance cove, traditionally quieter beauty spots, have seen an influx of visitors after social media promotion. local people said traffic gridlock was making some communities unsafe. malcolm bell, the chief executive of visit cornwall, told me why he thought the county has seen such an increase in tourism. i think it has been a bit too successful but also the tremendous weather we've had this summer, i

don't think that can be underestimated. the power of people suffering at 30 degrees who want to come to one of the country's top tourist destinations. we do have over 400 beaches so two overcrowded, some of the others were under pressure but we have more than enough beaches to satisfy the people of britain. you will have seen the pictures from porthcurno of the traffic backing up and people parking willy—nilly, making it difficult for emergency vehicles and delivery vehicles to get through. what has gone wrong because there are practical solution to things like this, like old—fashioned parking attendants and police officers. what is happening in terms officers. what is happening in terms of the support the industry has bound their in terms of making it more practicalfor bound their in terms of making it more practical for people to get around? the first thing is information. if you imagine the pictures ucr probably from last weekend, particularly on the sunday. lots of local people going out and

some visitors. we have all those other beaches and if you want to go to the hotspots, listen to the news, pick the day, listen to the traffic and the last thing you want to do is get caught in the big trafficjams. it isa get caught in the big trafficjams. it is a matter of redistributing across a beautiful county and on these particular ones, getting the information across but it's best to go there and more importantly, when it is wise not to go. have frustrated are the people living in the county getting this summer? we have a lot of support because one in three households depend on tourism. we wa nt three households depend on tourism. we want a great experience for the visitor but also a great experience for the locals. it is about managing these peak points. 52 weeks of the year, this is a challenge for about four weekends of the year and for about six weeks. we can crack it and allow local people to get on with their days, visitors to have a good time and that is what we have got to tackle. it has been a challenge for

the summer but we are committed to working on it to make sure local people have a great life as well as visitors having a great time in cornwall. the festival this weekend and the big weekend coming up, the bank holiday weekend. in the light of the pressures experienced so far this summer, what will be done differently in preparation for that weekend, what additionally are you doing, and your other partners like cornwall council doing, to make sure that bank holiday weekend go smoothly for visitors?” that bank holiday weekend go smoothly for visitors? i am sure we will have conversations with cornwall council about traffic management issues. we have beautiful beaches around bude and around but coast, 420 beaches, 100 featured on a free map people are given. so there are more than enough beaches. maybe come back in the spring to go to the more popular beaches. come backin to the more popular beaches. come back in may and june and have another great holiday in cornwall

but enjoyed the other 400 plus beaches we've got for people to enjoy. you mentioned bude off the north coast, because they have a huge jazz festival and north coast, because they have a hugejazz festival and you talk about the south east corner and that is relatively close to plymouth. the cou nty is relatively close to plymouth. the county has a problem in terms of access ability for those who don't have their own car or those who don't want to use their car? we have been working with great western railway, not only for bringing them m, railway, not only for bringing them in, but also getting them around. there is work going on in a car park so there is work going on in a car park so people can get into st ives. the bus and the trains are integrated on their timetables so you don't necessarily need a car. leave the car aside for one day and a john cornwall and enjoy being with your

loved ones without the hassle of driving and use the ever improving public transport. what is your favourite spot? i have several, there are some wonderful beaches. last sunday i was with some friends on the beach with less than 20, 25 people that was 200 metres long. little bit of effort and a bit of walking and in that case, a boat and you can find lots of lovely beaches. thanks to the national trust we have an amazing coastline and an amazing coastal path. a bit of research and you could probably find your precious piece of cornwall, even on the hottest day, without lots of people on it. new technology means films can now be projected onto the side walls of the cinema, as well as the main screen. it's claimed they will 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. now, i've always associated las vegas with the nickname sin city. it has another, though — the city of lights. last night, the best show in town was a free one,

it may look amazing but this thunderstorm has caused chaos across southern nevada. it moved in through the east with wind speeds as high as 70 miles an hour and has left tens of thousands of homes across the state without power. the national weather service has also warned of flash floods and dust storms. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith—lucas. it has been a day of mixed fortunes, some bright spells around but heavy showers. this was taken by one of oui’ showers. this was taken by one of our viewers with thick, grey clouds set to produce more rainfall as we head through the rest of this afternoon and this evening. for the week ahead, looking unsettled in the north and the west. it is breezy and showery and the driest and warmest weather is expected in the south east for the week ahead. back to the

rain likely here. further towards the south and south—west, higher pressure in charge with more sunshine than we have seen today with an improved picture for wales in south—west england. temperatures of 22 degrees and should be largely dry for northern ireland. 0n tuesday, a weather front moves across northern ireland into the west of scotland, bringing rain here and perhaps rain into the northwest of england. further south, you are likely to stay dry to the day on tuesday and there's temperatures will be nudging up by eddie grey or two. 26 in the south—east, 23 in northern ireland on tuesday. low pressure in the north and north—west bringing showers to the likes of edinburgh and belfast. mostly dry with sunny spells for cardiff album than. after a warmer middle part of the week, it will turn cooler later in the week. goodbye. hello this is bbc news with shaun ley.
