us officials say a mass shooting in texas is a case of domestic terrorism. a gunman killed 20 people in a mainly hispanic area on the border with mexico. police believe he posted a white nationalist manifesto online. we are treating it as a domestic terrorism case, and we're going to

do what we do to terrorists in this country, which is deliver swift and certain justice. hours later, america saw a second deadly gun attack. this time, nine people killed in ohio. these are two incredible places, we love the people, hate has no place in our country. as well as the debate on gun control, there are questions this time about political rhetoric and responsibility. also tonight... the round—the—clock effort to shore up the damaged dam near whaley bridge in derbyshire. tomorrow's heathrow strike is off, but industrial action over pay could yet take place on tuesday. and another century from steve smith means australia are in control in the first ashes test.

good evening. a gun attack in a town on the us border with mexico is being described as domestic terrorism, as the authorities investigate links to white nationalist ideology. the first of two mass shootings in the space of 13 hours happened in el paso, texas, where the majority of the population is hispanic. the 21—year old gunman killed 20 people before he was taken into custody. in the second attack, nine people were killed by a gunman in dayton, ohio. he was shot dead at the scene. the texas shooting happened at a shopping mall that includes a walmart store. in the last half hour, president trump has been speaking about the shootings, saying "hate has no place in our country". our correspondent sophie long is live in el paso now.

mishal, this happened when the superstore behind me was packed full with families of shopping. it has reaffirmed that this could happen to anyone at any time. what is equally striking here is that despite all of the mass shootings that have gone before, and there have been at least three in the past week, there is still shocked, shocked that it happened in al paso, considered to be one of america's‘s safest cities, and shocked that lives were lost, and shocked that lives were lost, and again it has reignited the debate about what should be done to stop it. a normally busy shopping mall cordoned off. an investigation is under way as people come to terms with what happened here hours ago. oh, my god. a gunman opened fire in what was a packed walmart superstore, killing 20 people, injuring at least 26 others. people took cover where they could. inside the mall, armed officers moved in in search of the attacker.

one man told me the gunman was not stopping, so he hid in a side room. there was a door that the employees have, and she had opened it and she was bringing everybody in there, and we went inside and it was like we were trapped. like, what do we do now? at that same time, i could hear the shots, from about 15 feet, so he was already by our side. the suspect being held by the authorities is 21—year—old patrick crusius. authorities believe he may have travelled hundreds of miles to carry out a racially motivated hate crime. we are treating it as a domestic terrorism case, and we will do what we do with terrorists in this country, which is deliver swift and certain justice. el paso lies right next to juarez in mexico and the border is beyond there.

the population here is more than 80% hispanic. the fact that the authorities are investigating whether this was a targeted racist attack has led some to question whether the rhetoric used by politicians here is actually making things worse. this massacre quickly reverberated on the presidential election trail. democratic candidate beto o'rourke, who is from el paso, returned to his hometown to be with people affected. he said president trump was to blame for the increased levels of hate and racism. we have had a rise in hate crimes every single one of the last three years, during an administration where you have a president who has called mexicans rapists and criminals. though mexican immigrants commit crimes at far lower rate than those born here in the country. he has tried to make us afraid of them, to some real effect and consequence. president trump has condemned the shooting, calling it tragic, hateful and cowardly. hate has no place in our country. we have to get this to stop. this has been going on for years, years and years, in

our country and we have to get it stopped. as the authorities search for evidence, america searches for a nswe i’s. how can this have happened again, and what can be done to stop it? sophie long, bbc news, el paso. just hours after the attack in el paso, nine people were killed and 26 others wounded in another shooting — this time outside a bar in dayton, ohio. police shot the gunman dead. they now say his 22—year—old sister was among those killed. here's our north america correspondent chris buckler. after a saturday morning of grief and violence in america, came a saturday night that brought more of the same. nine people were killed and more than two dozen injured, all in a shooting which lasted less than a minute, as people were enjoying an evening out in the centre of dayton. they started pushing us out the back door, into the alley out the back because they didn't want us coming out the front because they didn't know where the shooter was, or how many there was.

when you came outside and hit the front street, you saw the bodies and you knew that this was something different, something that you never thought of experiencing. the gunman has been identified as 24—year—old connor betts. his home is being searched by police who say he was wearing body armour, using an assault rifle and carrying more magazines of ammunition when he was shot dead by officers. among his victims was his own sister. she was very sweet, had her own opinions, and was loud and kind in a way that her brother was quiet and...kept more to himself. vigils have become all too familiar in this country. there have now been more mass shootings in the united states this year than there have been days.

i think that the police and our first responders have done an amazing job. clearly, the question has to be raised, why does dayton have to be the 250th mass shooting in america? year after year, campaigners put pressure on washington to change america's gun laws. but there's a stalemate inside congress and that is something that is not likely to change. besides, in dayton, el paso and countless other cities, they know that despite the killings, the debate about hate is likely to drown out the questions about guns. chris buckler, bbc news. 0ur north america editor, jon sopel, is at the white house now. two mass shootings in 13 hours — what do you make of the response? well, some of it is very familiar, the talk about gun control, again, from a number of people around the country saying there needs to be tighter gun laws. i think there is probably approximately 0% chance of any fundamental change on that

score. the thing that's new, though, mishal, is the focus on the president's rhetoric. during the presidential election campaign he talked about the great threat internally to the united states as being radical islam in terrorism, as he called it. actually the greater threat has been white nationalism. charlottesville, threat has been white nationalism. cha rlottesville, the threat has been white nationalism. charlottesville, the shooting at the pittsburgh synagogue, another one in san diego, and now this incident at el paso. you've got a number of people saying, when the president says to four congress women from minority backgrounds, they ought to go back to where they came from, and you see the alleged el paso shooter using similar language, well, you have had democrats coming out, presidential hopefuls, condemning the president's rhetoric, donald trump is responsible for this, says cory booker, he stokes racism, says o'rourke, and he is advancing white supremacy and racism, says elizabeth warren. if anchor tram has come out and said, white supremacy is an evil

that must be destroyed. donald trump hasn't said that, he has talked about mental illness, he's talked about mental illness, he's talked about hatred, he hasn't mentioned guns or white supremacy. emergency workers have spent the day pumping more water out of a reservoir in derbyshire to try and prevent a dam collapsing. they've managed to reduce water levels by more than three metres but say the situation remains critical, with a "very high" threat to life. danny savage reports from there. tonight, the dam above whaley bridge was reinforced again by air drops from an raf helicopter. four days on, there's still much work to do. to get anywhere near whaley bridge today, you had to be patient. people have been queueing here for an hour and a quarter. i mean, maybe we should just all be a bit more understanding, but it's just frustrating. the evacuation area is being strictly controlled by police. have you got a driving licence on you with proof of address, because the issue we're having is people are ignoring the road closure signs,

telling us they live within the risk area...? we absolutely are aiming to get people back in their homes as quickly as possible, but i'm not preparing they can do that until i get absolute assurance that it is safe for them to do so. beyond the cordons, it's eerily quiet. does the silence wake you up at night? yes, it is. for the first time ever, we can hear birds. tina runs a pub on the edge of what's now a ghost town. the worst—case scenario would be a disaster for her friends and customers. you can replace material things, to a degree. but when it's your livelihood and your home, everything, where do you begin? and i think it's really sad. at the dam, the water level has dropped significantly. the pumps are being pushed further into the reservoir. but it's still not deemed anywhere near safe enough for people to return home. we've got to drop the water level in the dam by about four—and—a—half more metres than where it is today. we're feeling in a much better place. we want to get people back into their homes as quickly as we can,

but we want to be 100% sure that they can go back safely. for people here, it's chilling to think what could have happened if the dam had failed without warning. including brian and sue, who've taken in their children and grandchildren. we would have lost our family, our son, his wife and our two lovely girls, and so would everyone else that was involved in our village, lower down, would have experienced that awful thing. the authorities want to be sure this area is safe before letting people return to their homes. but the situation is improving. you can see how dark it is here this evening, that raf chinook helicopter has been back in the last few minutes dropping more ballast on the dam and it might have more operations to do tonight. some good news is that the weather has held off today, forecast thunderstorms in fa ct off today, forecast thunderstorms in fact bypassed the area, meaning

there was pumps, they can still work at the same rate they have been doing for the last couple of days, bringing the water down by a couple of metres a day, so perhaps within 48 hours, we may be in a position where they can think about moving people back into their homes. a strike planned for tomorrow by members of the unite union working at heathrow airport has been suspended — with talks aimed at ending a pay dispute set to resume in the morning. the hope is that another walkout scheduled for tuesday can be prevented. 0ur transport correspondent tom burridge is at heathrow. what are the chances of that, tom? well, it's looking hopeful, mishal, i think the relief for the vast majority of people travelling from heathrow tomorrow, a small number of flights had already been cancelled oi’ flights had already been cancelled or moved to other airports, tonight, airlines are rescheduling many of those cancelled flights so it is a bit of a confusing picture. the advice is to check with your airline and basically, most flights will run as normal. the threat of thousands

of workers, security staff, maintenance and firefighters, working out on tuesday, is still on the cards. but the hope is that something can be done in the talks tomorrow between the unite union and heathrow airport overpay. but really, looking forward, i think if you look at the exceptional measure taken by you look at the exceptional measure ta ken by heathrow you look at the exceptional measure taken by heathrow airport on friday, two days ago, to cancel 90 flights per strike day, gives you a sense of what is at stake at this time of year. police say a six—year—old boy is in a critical condition after being thrown from a tenth floor balcony at the tate modern art gallery in london. he landed on a fifth floor roof and was flown to hospital. a 17—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. borisjohnson has pledged £1.8 billion in a one—off funding boost for the nhs in england. the prime minister said it would go towards "vital new kit" and upgrades for 20 hospitals. labour says the pledge is "significa ntly short" of the amount needed by the nhs and would not reverse cuts to capital investment spending.

when the last stronghold of the so—called islamic state was overrun in syria in march this year, thousands of women and children were moved to secure camps. many nationalities are represented there, including women who travelled from europe to the middle east in support of is. four months on, they are still being held by kurdish authorities. apart from a few children who've been taken back to their countries of origin, western government have yet to decide what to do about citizens in the camps. for bbc panorama, stacey dooley travelled to two syrian camps close to the borders of iraq and turkey, the al hol and al roj camps. this is al hol camp, home to more than 70,000 people, most of them refugees. but among this population there are around 11,000 foreign women, former is brides and their children. most want to go back to the countries where they were born and brought up, but western governments see them as a threat to national security.

so, for now, this place is home. many said they were too scared to be seen talking to me, but two british girls did. you're british, you sound british. me? yeah, yeah. so what do you want to happen? what do you think you deserve going forward? why do you speak about what we deserve? because i'm interested that you tell me. is anybody asking you that you deserve to live in europe? well, i didn't turn my back on democracy. who turned their back on democracy? you did. we have not committed any beheadings or anything like that. by coming to syria and joining isis... i wasn't a part of isis. i am asking very simply, woman to woman, do you think it is ok to support isis? do you support isis? i support islam. do you support isis, just please answer the question. we support islam. what does that mean? conditions in the camp are harsh and the atmosphere is tense. we have to be chaperoned the entire time. before we arrived, there was an incident where one

of the female guards was stabbed to death. and is still wields power over these people's lives. we have been told that even young girls are beaten if they don't wear the niqab. as we left the camp, we saw women raising their index finger in an is salute. and a few days later, a video was posted online that supposedly shows the is flag being raised over the camp. alongside the women, some 8,000 children are living in camps like these. the authorities running the camp say they fear the longer the children stay, the more likely they are to follow in their parents‘ footsteps. europe has taken a handful of orphans, but the rest are still waiting with their mothers for an answer to the difficult question of what to do next with them. this is al roj. the atmosphere is less tense. women here seem to be responding to attempts to de—radicalise them. hafida says she's been

living here with her two living here with her three children for three years. i hope one day they will make the decision to take the responsibility in other countries to take us back, and i hope then that the children will go to a better place with a better life. this is what i hope. for me, i understand, you know, when i go to the prison, i take the responsibility, the consequence from the decision that i made. yeah. but for my children, it's hard to see them. it's no life. it's hard to know how much of what the women have told me is true. most of them claim they did not know anything about the brutality of is and say they stayed at home and cooked. none of them showed any remorse. while europe and the west decide how to deal with them, their children are stuck here, detained for crimes they did not commit.

stacey dooley, bbc news, syria. you can see more on that story on panorama on bbc one at 8.30 tomorrow night. with all the sport now, here's lizzie greenwood—hughes at the bbc sport centre. thanks very much. good evening. england's cricketers face a huge battle to save the opening ashes test. they'll start the final day 13—0 chasing an unlikely target of 398 after australia's talisman steve smith hit yet another big century. joe wilson reports from edgbaston. in sport, a precious few seem to live in a different world, to move at their own speed and dictate the pace, true vips. steve smith is one. he arrived at edgbaston at 9.45 ready to bat all day. england had to try something. something. well, that's different, a surprise at least. 0ptions were limited with

anderson injured. jofra archer was only a substitute, he was not allowed to bowl until the next test match. smith was doing his thing, batting like nobody else. great fun, u nless batting like nobody else. great fun, unless of course you are the bowler. plenty more where that came from. how is your patience? wilting? even edgbaston‘s enthusiasts at times today struggled. with this shot, smith got to 100, his second of the match. and with every beaming minute he extended australia's lead, his personal total, 142. the england captain knows one thing already. after just four days of this five match series, he needs a new plan for steve smith. ideas welcome. a few theories for matthew wade would be useful, too. he found his form, made 100 as well. remember when australia were on the ropes in this art? it seems like a very different ashes now. even their tailenders we re ashes now. even their tailenders were dispatching england's weary

bowlers. they invited england to bat again, 397 ahead. england's opening batsmen began their second innings, and survived. plenty more of this to come. australia have got themselves into a winning position, and they knew who to thank. cheers, steve. joe wilson, bbc news, edgbaston. 0nto football — and there are highlights of the community shield after the news, and sportscene is on later in scotland so if you don't want to know today's results, avert your attention now. manchester city picked up where they left off, narrowly beating liverpool to the community shield at wembley after the match had to be decided on penalties. and steven gerrard's rangers had to rely on an injury—time goal to win their opening game of the scottish premiership. they beat kilmarnock. elsewhere, hearts lost at aberdeen. lewis hamilton distanced himself from his title rivals with a hard—fought win at the hungarian grand prix. the briton now has a 62—point lead with nine races to go.

katie shanahan reports. the hungarian grand prix is one of the most challenging circuits on the racing calendar. but a chance for lewis hamilton to redeem himself after his worst race of the season last time out. starting third on the grid, he had to get past his mercedes teammate valtteri bottas, who he passed on the opening lap. next target, max verstappen, who was on pole for the first time and was proving much more difficult. until mercedes took a gamble with an extra pit stop and the fresh tyres paid off, as red bull were left behind with three laps to go. hamilton securing his eighth win of the season. securing his eighth win of the season. victory for lewis hamilton! ididn't make season. victory for lewis hamilton! i didn't make any mistakes on those la st i didn't make any mistakes on those last 15 laps or so, and as i started reeling him in, iwas like, 0k, i've got this. hamilton leaves hungary with his head held high. he breaks for the summer with a healthy lead in the championship.

the final women's golf major of the year, the british open, was won by the little known japanese player hinako shibuno. playing abroard for the first time, the 20—year—old dazzled the seasoned pros at woburn, winning by a shot after sinking a long putt for a birdie on the final hole. there was another big crash in the closing stages of the men's elite race at the ride london event. but italy's elia viviani avoided any trouble, last yea r‘s runner—up sprinting to victory in the mall to win the biggest prize in one—day cycling. britain's alex dowsett claimed the king of the mountains title. there's more on the bbc sport website. that's all from me, now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are.

hello, there. for some of us, it wasn't too bad over the weekend. plenty of hazy sunshine in the south, further north were plagued by heavy showers and thunderstorms where warnings were in force, parts of scotland and northern england. scenes behind me showed torrential downpours affecting parts of argyll and bute and flooded roads there in falkirk. heavy showers and thunderstorms aren't done with us yet. for much of this upcoming week, it's looking pretty unsettled thanks to low pressure nearby, continuing to see heavy showers or indeed some thunderstorms which could give rise to localised flooding in places. there is the area of low pressure to the north—west of the uk to start the new working week, sending bands of showers across oui’ shores. the focus of them across more northern and western areas where again we could see some embedded thunderstorms. a fresher breeze coming in from the south—west. that will tend to push the showers through quite quickly across england and wales. we could see some sunshine into the afternoon where it is feeling pleasantly warm,

22—25, less humid so that will feel quite comfortable, close to 19 or 20 across scotland and northern ireland. through monday evening and overnight it stays very showery, breezy in the south. plenty of showers in scotland and northern ireland. low pressure isn't going anywhere too fast. it is there on tuesday anchored across northern scotland and into northern ireland so it looks like here we will see the focus of the torrential downpours once again which will become more widespread as we head into tuesday afternoon as the sunshine heats the ground a bit more. more showers breaking up for northern and western england into wales, again affecting some flood—sensitive areas, so could be looking at some minorflooding in places. the temperatures generally around the seasonal average. low pressure continues to push off into the north sea on wednesday. it opens the doors to a more north—westerly wind that can still feed in some showers to the northern half of the country and it will also introduce something slightly fresher.

there will be showers breaking out across england and wales, hit and miss downpours with some warm sunshine in between. those temperatures will be around the seasonal average, 18 or 19 in the north, low 20s in the south. perhaps a little bit dry as we head on into thursday, an area of low pressure tending to push on into scandinavia and allows pressure to build on from the south—west so it could be that northern ireland and much of england and wales could have a dry day with light winds and more sunshine, so it will feel that little bit warmer, 22—25. you can see pressure higher across the country into the start of friday but then we look to the south—west and this next area of low pressure, pretty deep feature, pushing in across the country, and at the moment it looks like it could affect much of the north and the west with some heavy and persistent rain and stronger winds, whereas the south—east may escape and stay dry at least until after dark, so fairly warm here again, the temperatures high teens further north and west. it looks like as that area of low pressure moves across the country during the weekend, bringing a mixture of sunshine and showers,

and then a drop of temperature as it starts to draw in something cooler from the north—west as we head on into next week, so cooler and fresher and with further low pressure systems pushing in off the atlantic, it is set to stay unsettled even into next week. there will be some rain at times, some a bit heavy, and rather breezy and cool with the temperature just a little below the seasonal average, and there could be some issues with flooding over the next few days, stay tuned for the forecast.
