shooting happened at about 10.30 in the morning at a walmart store near the cielo vista mall, a few miles from the us—mexican border. police arrived at the scene six minutes later, and a 21—year—old white man was arrested at the scene, he's been named by us media as patrick crusius. police are looking into whether he deliberately targeted the hispanic community. mexico's president manuel lopez obrador said three mexicans were among those killed. our correspondent sophie long reports. pa rents were parents were shopping with their children when they were told to run. a gunman started firing indiscriminately. 20 people killed, 26 others heard, any according to the governor of texas sustained life—threatening injuries. the governor of texas sustained life-threatening injuries. on a day that would have been a normal day for someone to leisurely go shopping turned into one of the most deadly

daysin turned into one of the most deadly days in the history of texas. lives we re days in the history of texas. lives were taken who should still be with us were taken who should still be with us today. one white man has been arrested and ta ken us today. one white man has been arrested and taken into custody. he's been identified by local media as 21—year—old patrick crusius. police say they are investigating this could be a hate crime and investigating links with a nationalist manifesto published anonymously online claiming the attack was targeted at the hispanic community. it is pointing at this stage in time to a hate crime, we will be investigating that with other federal authorities, we are looking at potential capital murder charges for this individual. el paso sits on the border with mexico, its population is more than 80% hispanic. it's become a focal point in the debate over immigration in the united states. this is someone

who came from outside our community to do us harm, a community that has shown nothing but generosity and kindness to the least among us. mass shootings are not uncommon here, exactly shootings are not uncommon here, exa ctly o ne shootings are not uncommon here, exactly one week ago a six—year—old and a 13—year—old were among those killed in a gunman opened fire at a festival in northern california. but people are shocked that it happened here in el paso, considered to be one of america ‘s safest cities and they are shocked at such young, innocent lives were lost and so many. but amid the horror and the pain and the great, great sadness, there are demands again for something to be done to stop it. our sympathies go out to the families of the victims. democratic presidential candidate beto o'rourke who is from el paso linked this shooting to what he called increased levels of hatred and racism that is being seen in the us. he laid blame for at least part

of that at president trung ‘s door. president trump has condemned the shooting calling it tragic, hateful and cowardly. sophie long, bbc news. and our correspondent sophie long is at the scene in el paso and sent us this update. children and their parents out shopping in the walmart behind me. they were shopping for school uniforms, school bags, stationery, all those things that families shop for in this the week before school reopens. a gunman opened fire and suddenly they had to run for their lives. we know very little about the victims at this stage, 20 people killed, some of them reportedly very young. we know three of those people were from mexico. we know that one white man was arrested, he has been identified locally as 21—year—old patrick crusius. one line of investigation is establishing whether he had anything to do with a white nationalist manifesto that was published online. they are investigating

whether he had anything to do that. that is where the investigation stands at the moment. the governor of texas was speaking earlier today, and he described the scenes that unfolded behind me as horrific. he said it was one of the deadliest days in the history of texas. as you heard, mass shootings are not uncommon here. only a week ago a six—year—old and a 13—year—old were among those killed when a gunman opened fire at a festival in northern california. so there is a shock here today, el paso is considered to be one of the us's safest cities. shocked that such young, innocent lives were among those lost and shock that so many people were killed. we heard from the governor that of the 26 injured, many are fighting life—threatening injuries. the community here coming together in grief, calls again for something

to be done, we heard from beto o'rourke, the democratic presidential candidate who is from el paso, he blamed the shooting at least in part on the rising levels of what he called hatred and racism that america is experiencing and he put at least part of the blame for that at the door of president trump. president trump has been tweeting throughout the day. he sent his condolences and condemned the shooting, he and the first lady sent their love and prayers to the people coming to terms with what has happened here. earlier, el paso's police chief told a news conference about a document found purporting to be from the suspect that suggests the incident was a hate crime. the ages and genders of all these people injured and killed or in numerous and the age groups, the situation, needless to say, is horrific. it has a nexus at this

point in time to a hate crime, the fbi will be looking into that with all the federal authorities, right now we are looking at potential capital murder charges for this individual. right now, we have a ma nifesto individual. right now, we have a manifesto from this individual that indicates to some degree, it has a nexus to potential hate crime. victoria balderrama was shopping in the mall with her parents when the shooting broke out. they were in lockdown in the shopping centre for an hour before a swat team arrived to help them escape. we were there about 30 minutes when they announced they were closing down the store. locked the doors, which i didn't really think much of at the time and then they told us to huddle in the corner of the store and that's when i really started to worry. because i didn't think it was, you know, normal to be doing that. it was something so minor.

but they let us know that there was an active shooter inside the mall, on the second level and ijust went into survival mode, i mean, it was so scary being in that kind of situation. being from el paso i was born and raised here, nothing like this ever, i mean ever, would have imagined, could happen in my hometown. they were going to try and evacuate us through the exit of jcpenney and so we waited for about an hour when swat teams showed up and they ordered us to put our hands up and run through the building and exit. so we walked throuthcpenney, through the mall and out of dillards where we waited in the parking lot. and we waited for about three hours, the police officers they told us to be patient, they

were doing everything they could, trying to provide some shade. el paso is so hot, triple digits, i mean, it was a waiting game, guess. we assumed they were looking for these active shooters. i just really have no words, honestly. because i've never been in a situation like this. and i didn't know how to feel and looking at people around me, people were crying, panicking and i really was just thinking the worst, you know, what am i going to do? how am i going to get out of the situation? making sure my parents were all right and we were going to be ok. you're just so indisposed to these people that have guns and they're shooting at you, they are targeting you. and you know, there's a lot of talk that they were targeting because of you know, the race, you know, most of the people here in

el paso are hispanic. but former texas senator, and democrat presidential contender beto 0'rourke — who's from el paso — said mr trump's own rhetoric was fuelling hatred and violence. what i'm hearing from statements from el paso police department, preliminary indications that this is motivated by hatred, by racism, by an intolerance that is foreign to el paso and in fact had to be brought somewhere else into this community to do something like what we are seeing right now. and so, i would just say that in addition to everything to that we are doing for our fellow el pasoans

right now and meeting them in this time of suffering and need and crisis, in addition to making sure that we change our laws so it's harder for something like this to happen again, i think we also have to ask ourselves about the level of hatred and racism that we are seeing in this country right now. that could lead to an event like the one that we saw here today. and that is on all of us to both call out and to stop. beto 0'rourke the democratic politician looking outside the hospitalfor some of the politician looking outside the hospital for some of the victims had been treated. —— where some of the victims. there's been a second mass shooting in the united states, just hours after the killings in el paso. police in dayton, ohio say they are investigating what they describe as an ‘active shooter incident‘ near the city centre. local media say up to ten people may have been killed and many others wounded. eyewitnesses have been quoted as saying the gunman tried to get into a bar,

and opened fire outside it when he was stopped. we will bring you more on this as soon we will bring you more on this as soon as we we will bring you more on this as soon as we have it. now, today's other news. borisjohnson has announced extra funding for nhs hospitals in england. the one off payment of £1.8 billion pounds will go towards new equipment and upgrades to 20 hospitals. writing in the sunday times, mrjohnson said he was "determined to deliver" the promises of the brexit referendum campaign and increase nhs spending. 0ur political correspondent jessica parker is here good morning. we have some meat on the bones, as it were, of the prime minister ‘s remarks at a downing street a week or so ago when he talked about abrading hospitals but what exactly is he announcing? we will get more meat on the bone tomorrow because 3s will get more meat on the bone tomorrow because as you will get more meat on the bone tomorrow because 3s you are outlining, we hear it's going to be a billion odd on some general upgrades and equipment for the nhs

and around 850 million specifically for around 20 hospitals, we should get details on which hospitals they are tomorrow. as you say, boris johnson talking about boosting nhs spending through the tory leadership campaign and is well on downing street and it's part of a pattern of him saying he wants to spend more money on the nhs, on schools, and police, a lot of people saying where is this coming from? it's the magic money tree, apparently there is one. the conservative government saying we have managed the economy very well, there's fiscal headroom, i think some people will question whether there is enough to pay for all the pledges that are being made, all the pledges that are being made, a lot of people speculating there could be more borrowing going on down the line but it seems to be borisjohnson down the line but it seems to be boris johnson trying down the line but it seems to be borisjohnson trying to make good as he sees it on the spending pledges and again, leading to speculation as to is this the behaviour of a mid—term government not really thinking about an election until 2022 or is this the behaviour of a

government thinking an election could be round the corner? on the question of an election, reports this morning in the sunday telegraph suggesting dominic cummins, senior adviser to the prime minister has basically said you know, there is, evenif basically said you know, there is, even if there is a general election, if one is triggered by a vote of confidence that wouldn't prevent a new deal brexit. very tight timetable for an mps comeback in september, they come back around the third, a couple of weeks in parliament, they are off for the party conferences, they come back year into 0ctober. if there were a no—confidence vote you get 1a days to try and form a government, there's that gap of time there and parliament as i was reading today, to be prorogued for 25 days in the late there is a minimum period. you can't have a snap, snap election. there are questions as to whether mps if they want to for example this legislation —— use legislation. do they have enough time? something i have learned over

the last couple of years watching westminster politics if you don't wa nt to westminster politics if you don't want to predict too much as to what could happen in terms of parliamentary shenanigans but you are right, lots of reports today about dominic cummings notjust on theissue about dominic cummings notjust on the issue of whether they could be a general election but at 10 downing street, they are laying down the law on the brexit deadline and trying to instil discipline in the government. something that has been lacking over the past couple of years, problems that theresa may faced was a lack of discipline. borisjohnson that theresa may faced was a lack of discipline. boris johnson feeling that he has for his party a mandate and they are going to give him presumably the support to pursue that? but it is ultimately down to the eu and whether they are prepared to play ball and suggestions again in the papers from the brexit secretary stephen barclay that an attempt to persuade europe something has changed and therefore the withdrawal agreement should change withdrawal agreement should change with it. the argument the government makes when they talk to brussels although they are not talking that mr brussels, there haven't been face—to—face meetings between the

prime minister in european ministers, there's been phone calls and stephen barclay has been in touch with michel barnier but they say the withdrawal agreement has been rejected three times, they had a european parliamentary election, loads of brexit meps, voters have sent them to parliament. the dynamics have changed and what stephen barclay is talking about this morning as he says, michel barnier, you have been given a mandate, you've fulfilled your mandate, you've fulfilled your mandate, what needs to happen now is the eu commission, the lead on this, the eu commission, the lead on this, the executive of the eu need to change that mandate and recognise the change across the channel. will that happen? there's not been much indication yet. we are in this strange situation, there is an outgoing commission and there is a new commission, we know who the new president of the european commission is but she doesn't take office until the 1st of november. and we leave on the 1st of november. and we leave on the 31st of october, not unless there's something magic they are doing with the calendar.

there's something magic they are doing with the calendarlj there's something magic they are doing with the calendar. i think there must be transition of an on and as she takes over i'm sure she will have some influence but you are right, the date quite remarkably, the 31st of october the deadline, she takes over on the 1st of november as the new eu head of commission and it's interesting to see whether there will be a shift, you talk about whether boris johnson has a mandate because he won the conservative leadership contest but he doesn't have a mandate from the public because he hasn't won a general election and as well, look at the mass in parliament, it doesn't really have much of a strong footing there after the brecon and radnorshire by—election, a majority of just radnorshire by—election, a majority ofjust one. i think the whips are going to have to be very nice to backbenchers over the next few months. we are going to be speaking to the shadow health secretaryjon as hworth to the shadow health secretaryjon ashworth this morning to get his reaction to that announcement of additionalfunding for reaction to that announcement of additional funding for the nhs. reaction to that announcement of additionalfunding for the nhs. now it's approaching 90 minutes past nine. let's look at the headlines. "19 nine. let's look at the headlines.

—— 19 minutes. twenty people have been killed in a mass shooting in a walmart store in the us city of el paso, texas — a man has been taken into custody by police reports are coming in of a second mass shooting in the us, in dayton, 0hio — local media say up to seven people may have been killed, and one gunman is still at large. another 55 homes are evacuated as heavy rain is forecast in derbyshire where emergency services are battling to prevent the whaley bridge dam from collapsing let's get more on those reports of a shooting in dayton ohio, which happened around 3am local time. reports up to ten people have died. let's speak now to jae williams, who was driving close by when the shooting happened... a bit earlier than 3am, in fact, thank you so much for speaking to us, it's still so early in the morning, i guess you haven't had much sleep tonight? where were you when the shooting happened?”

much sleep tonight? where were you when the shooting happened? i was at a venue, only a few blocks away from the shooting happening. in the 0regon district in downtown dayton, literally about a six or seven minute walk away from where i was. when did you know something was wrong? we were just all in their and then a guy who was running the show, he came on stage and said he had to cut the show early because there was a shooting going on in the oregon district, five people at the time had been shot. and then we evacuate evacuated, i was like, this is crazy, you know, getting in my car andi crazy, you know, getting in my car and i had to drive past the oregon district, i saw a lot of cops and multiple ambulances and people going to the scene. i am just like, i am looking on social media and icy

there's five people being shot, it's more people, it's an actual mass shooting going on. and i'm like, this is crazy. so this would have been, how long ago now, are we talking three or four hours, a bit longer? i believe from now it would be about three hours ago. ok. there's a bit more information starting to come out locally, suggestions that this might be somebody trying to get into a bar and being refused entry? have you heard anything about that? no, i haven't heard anything about that, the only thing i heard was that it was a heavy—set male, carrying an automatic rifle, i heard something about he let it fire for 30 seconds straight. we need to get some more details on that, obviously, as they emerge but do you get much in terms of shootings in dayton? we have a

fairamount of gun of shootings in dayton? we have a fair amount of gun violence, but not in the form of a mass shooting. no, not like that. typical, we have typical gun violence you might find similartoa typical gun violence you might find similar to a city like chicago in the us but nothing like an actual mass shooting, something like this comes down, pulls out a machine gunner something and starts shooting people, nothing like that, to my knowledge. a very scary night for people, thanks so much for speaking to us from dayton ohio. a little more information, a sense of what people were hearing in that incident which happened about three hours or so which happened about three hours or so ago in dayton in ohio. the oregon district of dayton and we are told, we are writing for some official details from the dayton police department but we are being told very recently, local media reporting that the scene was still active,

there was a shooter still at large but we will get an update from the police on that as soon as we get it. you are watching bbc news. more talks are planned today to try to stop a strike at heathrow by engineers, firefighters and security staff. 177 flights have already been cancelled on monday and tuesday. our business correspondent kary austin has more. can a strike by support staff at the country's busiest airport be averted? time is running out with conciliation talks due to resume this morning. meanwhile, the hundreds of passengers, whose flights have been cancelled as a precaution, are counting the cost. i received a text from virgin informing me that our flight was rescheduled to leave from gatwick. when i logged in to view the new booking, i noticed that our flight was leaving two hours later than originally booked, which meant it was nearly impossible to make our next flight. to ensure we get to toronto that day, i rescheduled to the next available flight and, with rescheduling fees

and higher ticket prices, it cost an additional $1100. heathrow has said it can run the airport safely if the strikes do go ahead, although it says people need to allow time for longer security queues. passengers, whose flights are cancelled, will be booked on to other services or get refunds from their airlines but analysts say passengers are unlikely to get any other compensation. if you are one of the unlucky people whose flight has been cancelled and are not able to be rebooked very shortly afterwards, then, in this instance, airlines don't have to pay compensation because it's not their fault, it's not their staff who are striking, it's staff of the airport. so the eu regulation that covers this says they only have to pay compensation, strictly speaking, for something within their control, and this isn't. the only thing that can prevent the disruption a strike could cause is if a pay deal is agreed between the unite union and heathrow management today. another 55 homes have been evacuated near a dam in derbyshire which is in danger of collapsing. police say it's because more heavy rain is forecast. efforts continued through the night to reduce the water levels

at toddbrook reservoir and stabilise the whaley bridge dam. michael cowan has the latest. the battle to save whaley bridge dam is entering its fourth day after fresh evacuations last night. 55 homes were evacuated, joining the 1500 people already forced to leave. water levels at the reservoir have reduced by 1.3 metres since thursday but with the threat of storms, authorities worry it's not enough. raf chinook helicopter is now a regular fixture in whaley bridge are continuing to drop bags of aggregate as they try to shore up the damage to the dam that's protected this community for almost 200 years. but there was relief for some yesterday,

residents were allowed back into the deserted town for 15 minutes to collect essentials. we sort of knew we needed to get things, we knew we had to do things and as long as you move quickly and i would say listen all the time, because they told us if we here three blasts on the horn we we re if we here three blasts on the horn we were to just run. a yellow weather warning for thunderstorms and heavy rain is in place from the met office this afternoon. leaving this community to ask, when their nightmare might end? michael calman, bbc news. 0ur reporter luxmy gopaljoins us now from whaley bridge good morning. again, a lovely morning where you are and hard to imagine how unpleasant the weather could get later and how worrying for residents this is. tell us about the homes that have been evacuated, why are they regarded as being at risk when they weren't on friday with the previous evacuation? yes, as you

mentioned, 55 further homes evacuated on top of the one and a half thousand people who had to leave their homes since thursday. and that is because of this imminent weather warning, they've revised and updated the advice because the authorities here are trying to emphasise the point that this is still a critical situation. as you mentioned, deceptively beautiful and calm here in terms of current weather conditions, a lot of residents that i've spoken to say i can't really see why we've been made to leave our homes and we might not be able to go back for good until the end of the week when the weather is so lovely and that's because it's potentially about to turn with severe weather warnings in place for the afternoon ahead. heavy storms and rain is expected. every precaution needs to be taken because of the situation changes at the reservoir, it can change very quickly. what's the assessment that the police and the raf and the

others involved have made about the operations so far? how do they feel it's going? there is optimism because as you saw from the pictures in the report, the raf chinook has been dropping ballast to firm up the damaged part of the dam and they've been doing that for the past few days. they are not doing that this morning but they are on standby in case they are called back and of course, the high volume pumps have been removing water and back behind us so been removing water and back behind us so there is a lot of work being done to do that and they are optimistic that they are winning the tide and we heard an update not that long ago, to say, over one third of the reservoir ‘s contents have been removed and you can potentially see behind me have fought the water level has dropped because before you couldn't even see the base of those trees and now you can see their roots so they are making progress but the issue is, the complication is, this uncertainty over what the

weather is going to be like this afternoon with the potential risk of the heavy rains which will hamper the heavy rains which will hamper the efforts to change the situation here and also, potentially, undo some of the work they've done to reduce water levels. really, despite all the precautions, preparations that have been taken, people in whaley bridge are once again at the mercy of the weather? absolutely. you know, as i said, some of them i've spoken to this morning say it's ha rd to i've spoken to this morning say it's hard to fathom how things can change so hard to fathom how things can change so dramatically when it's perfectly calm now but yes, they are about to spend yet another night away from their homes, a lot of them haven't been able to go back and, apart from the 15 minute window yesterday, just to collect their essentials and the latest is they've been told they are unlikely to be able to return home for good until the end of this week. soa for good until the end of this week. so a lot of uncertainty for them and still not being able to return home tonight. thank you for speaking to

us, i know you will keep us in touch with developments throughout the morning. where else can we go after the papers but the weather? just a reminder, we will have a paper review just after 9:30am. that's coming after the latest headlines and a full sporting update. first, it's time for a look at the weather, susanis it's time for a look at the weather, susan is at the map, a very good morning to you, can you offer any hope of relief for people in derbyshire? i really wish i could. let's take a look at the outlook for derbyshire for the next few days but that this is buxton. showers are forecast throughout the course of the day but, for the week ahead, at very uncertain picture. it looks beautiful now but there will be heavy and potentially thundery showers developing, which will bring a lot of
