was about to burst, residents return. the british food industry calls for competition laws to be relaxed to prevent food shortages in the event of a no—deal brexit. the bottle of vodka produced from grain grown inside the chernobyl exclusion zone. and at 11:30pm, we will be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, anand menon and sam lister. stay with us for that. good evening. president trump is visiting el paso, in texas, where 22 people were killed in a mass shooting at the weekend. it is now being investigated by police as an act of domestic terrorism. earlier the president visited a hospital in dayton, ohio, where nine people were also shot dead at the weekend.

mr trump said he was concerned about any group of hate, whether it's white supremacy or any other kind of supremacy, but he himself has been accused of inflaming tensions with his rhetoric. our north america editorjon sopel has the latest from el paso. president trump and first lady melania trump arrived in el paso a short time ago, and it is fair to say civic leaders aren't hanging out the flags for him. a white nationalist killed 22 people, targeting hispanics. before leaving the white house, the president denied that his fiery rhetoric on immigration had contributed to the problem. i am concerned about the rise of any group of hate. i don't like it. any group of hate, i am — whether it's white supremacy, whether it's any other kind of supremacy, whether it's antifa, whether it's any group of hate, i am very concerned about it, and i'll do something about it.

# this is my town, el paso... in el paso, a big protest has taken place against the visit, the main speaker the former congressman for the area and democratic presidential hopeful beto o'rourke. he is critical of the president coming. this makeshift shrine alongside the walmart here in el paso probably stretches for something like 100 yards. there is always the hope on occasions like this that something good might emerge out of something so dreadful. but in america today, the problems of hate, of guns, of racism, seem as intractable ever. these two nurses, erin and stephanie, were working at the local hospital last saturday. everything was chaotic. nurses get called in, and things are different, and you can feel sombre in the hospital. and what do you feel about the president coming today? i think it's probably a bad timing, for him to come right now. and emotions are still incredibly raw.

i would prefer you have my daughter. 0k. i can't — i can't talk. i would like him to bring unity, not only to el paso, texas, but to our country. what's going on, what's going on? but it has now emerged that a shooting which took place two weeks ago in gilroy, california, is now also being treated as an act of domestic terrorism, like el paso. from the fbi over the last two years, a number of their investigations are racially motivated, and within that category, the majority are white supremacist extremist motivated. this morning president trump was in dayton, ohio, where nine people were killed over the weekend, meeting survivors and relatives. these images released by the white house —

no journalists were allowed in. he offered consolation, but in terms of concrete measures to tackle gun violence, he was much more vague. british airways was forced to cancel more than 100 flights today after computer problems with the airline's check—in system. thousands of passengers faced delays, disruption and queues at heathrow, gatwick and london's city airport. ba says flights are returning to normal but that there could be knock—on disruption. our correspondent lucy manning spent the day at heathrow. this is not how the start of a holiday should look. queues, cancellations, frustration. this is not how the run—up to a wedding should look. alex and chloe get married on saturday. they were flying with 25 family members, but got stuck on the runway in newcastle, missing theirflight to venice, and then onto slovenia for their wedding ceremony. we got on the flight from newcastle at 6:00am in the morning, and then they started telling us that there

was delays, delays, delays. we were expecting to be around ten, 15,20 minutes, half an hour, and then itjust kept on getting more and more and more. it's very unlikely we will get on a flight tonight. we could possibly get one tomorrow. they don't have any hotels. we're from newcastle. i've got elderly people. it's just... how do you feel about the way that you've been treated by ba? i'm actually gutted for chloe and alex. gutted. we'll have that sorted out. we've booked with the best airline in the world. we could have gone with wizz air, but we booked with the best airline in the world because of how important it was. and theyjust don't care. how has it left you feeling about what is going to happen with the wedding? terrified, terrified. it should be such a happy occasion. she was so... they were so... it still will be a happy occasion. it is passengers on short—haul flights affected, mainly flying in and out of london airports, computer systems dealing with checking and departures

down, delaying thousands. some passengers were stranded abroad, sam and julie stuck in cyprus. it's the height of the summer season. people want to go on holiday with their kids, you know, and this is a multibillion—pound company. you can't be blaming things on it systems. it's a joke. it has not been the best summer for travellers or for british airways. some flights were already cancelled this week because of fears of a strike at heathrow, and there is also the looming threat of a strike by british airways pilots. ba has apologised to customers, and says the computer problems have now been solved, but disruption could continue. alex and chloe and the wedding party will now get a new flight tomorrow night. so where's ba going to put us tonight? 0k, i've got no hotels... lucy manning, bbc news. ryanair pilots based in the uk have voted to go on strike in a row over pay and conditions. the first walkout is planned for 22 and 23 august, while a second 60—hour strike is due in early september. ryanair say they have written to the union asking them to return to talks.

as the government plans for a no—deal brexit in october, it has been disclosed to the bbc that in its worst case scenario, more than 5,000 lorries crossing the channel every day could face long delays and disruption. it comes as the food industry called for the plans to include relaxing competition law to allow firms to co—ordinate supplies should there be no—deal. tonight the minister in charge, michael gove, said he was confident the uk had a very resilient food supply system. here is our economics editor faisal islam. they call it a rolling motorway, the 20—minute turnaround of a channel tunnel freight train. fresh fish, medical products, car parts, even thoroughbred horses, are exported and imported in a system built on zero checks. but that is now changing. vladimir is picking up a trailer of fresh food that has come overnight from spain to be imported into britain.

esas frutas — these fruits, peaches? una des carga, tesco. el otro, tesco. this lorry park at the mouth of the channel tunnel in france is full of refrigerated trucks, the embodiment of britain's dependence on imports of fresh food. and it is even more at the end of october, just when the uk is scheduled to leave with an increasingly likely no—deal brexit. the government says the overall food supply will be fine. the food companies are rather sceptical about what they see as the government's optimism about the impacts of a no—deal brexit on the supply of fresh food. they anticipate having to co—ordinate where trucks like these go in the united kingdom together. that would be illegal under competition law. they want some guarantees from government. i'm confident, because the uk has a very resilient food supply system, that actually we will be able to make sure that people have a wide range, and all the choice that they need. but of course, we're constantly talking to supermarkets,

food distributors and others to see what more the government can do to help, and we stand ready to ensure that the regime that we put in place as a government is responsive to their needs. in fact, the government is getting less pessimistic about no—deal disruption generally. bbc news has learnt that the government has now twice lowered the secret assumption about the disruption to cross—channel freight from a no—deal brexit. why? because of this facility, unused at the moment, never before needed, to check british exports into the eu. this is all contingency planning. 13 million euros' worth of buildings and truck storage space, inspection facilities, just in case there are additional controls required after no—deal brexit day. the perfect solution is that this never goes into active service. last year, the government's

reasonable worst—case scenario for no—deal was that, for 3—6 months, only one or two in every ten freight lorries crossing the channel would make it through normally, with the restjoining queues. in april, this secret assessment, shared with industry but not the public, was upped to around four in ten on account of new preparations made on the french side of the border. in the past few days, that has been further raised to around half of all lorries. better than it was, but it still means thousands of lorries stuck on motorways in kent and around calais. we're not going to have frictionless trade on day one no—deal, in spite of some progress that has been made on preparedness and contingency plans on all sides. this tunnel was built on franco—british co—operation. for trade to continue to flow smoothly through it, as much depends on what happens here in france as preparations back home. faisal islam, bbc news, calais. more now on our top story. president trump has been

visiting ohio and texas, where 31 people were killed in two shootings at the weekend. he is currently in el paso where our correspondent gary o'donoghue joins us from. gary, a busy day for the president and for all of you chasing after him. what is the tone of these visits? because he has obviously come under a lot of criticism for in a sense inciting hate and aggression with his language, especially towards mexicans. how has he handled that today? well, he rejects that, of course, out of hand, that particular accusation. you are right, this was always going to be a big test, and he went to dayton earlier in the day and really they locked the whole thing down, sean. they even excluded the travelling pool press, those other people who are with the president permanently, right there on every occasion. they excluded them from the visit he made to the people in the rooms on the wards who had been injured, and

their relatives. the white house released their own photographs, and thatis released their own photographs, and that is it. we had a little snapshot from the president's social media manager saying that the president had been treated like a rock star, thatis had been treated like a rock star, that is as far as we got in terms of the interaction with the president and those people there. he had a twitter row on his flight to el paso over what the mayor in dayton had said afterwards, and what one of the senators from ohio had said, so he flamed up on that one pretty quickly, and he has been at the hospital here in el paso for about an hour now. we think he is meeting some patients, some first respondents, some of the injured. we're not sure, we haven't had any word about what has been said, but a concern will amongst his advisers that because of the racial nature or the apparent racial motivation of the apparent racial motivation of the attack here which killed those 22 people, anti— hispanic rhetoric, ina 22 people, anti— hispanic rhetoric, in a town of 80% hispanics, he will

wa nt to in a town of 80% hispanics, he will want to limit his exposure, i think, directly to the protests that have been taking place here. yes, and i suppose they worry would be that some either inappropriate remark by the president turns into a huge story, or indeed that somebody, the families of one of the victims are one of the people who was injured, decides to take it out on the president and give him a bit of a tongue lashing, as beto o'rourke has done, who was the local congressmen there. he nearly won the senate seat, and he is running for president. that's right. he has suspended his campaigning for the democratic nomination since the shooting on saturday. he has been here since then. he has identified with this town, and indeed, if you are looking for a different tone from the president after that monday addressed to the nation in which he talks about condemning racism, talks about condemning white supremacist, then we got that, in a sense, the old turn back this morning when he tweeted about beto o'rourke that he sort of had a fake christian name to

try and pretend he had some kind of hispanic background. so it kind of returned to normal service in that regard from the president. but it is also worth remembering, i think, that in the long run, president trump and the republican party, they don't want to alienate the hispanic population entirely, because it is a growing part of the voter base in this country. it is not exclusively democrat leaning, like the black population largely is. there is a demographic within the hispanic community that is receptive to conservative messages at times, partly tied down to the catholic religion, et cetera, but also partly tied down to sort of family values and those sort of small—c conservative leanings. in this sort of thing could really damage any progress republicans might want to make into that community in terms of support. yes, it is not difficult to

imagine people like jeb support. yes, it is not difficult to imagine people likejeb bush holding their head in their hands, having warned the party about the dangers of not getting to understand the hispanic vote. that's absolutely right, and you know, there had been progress in the past. i think i am right in thinking that george w, i think he got about 40% of the hispanic vote when he ran for president. that is a huge chunk of the vote. it has dropped significantly, with republican candidates, since then. but there is potentially a wasted opportunity, and indeed, it is notjust taking my word for it, the republican national committee after the 2012 election wrote a report saying we have got to do this, and everyone sort of nodded sagely and completely ignored it. gary, thank you very much.

the headlines on bbc news: president trump visits texas and ohio after the weekend's mass shootings, amid continuing accusations his rhetoric has helped spread violence. british airways says flights are returning to normal, after technical problems caused cancellations and severe delays for passengers. derbyshire police say it's now safe for residents to return to their homes in whaley bridge, after the town was evacuated last week, overfears of a damaged dam. with the government determined that britain leave the eu by 31 october, with or without a deal, seniorfigures in the labour party are publicly split tonight about what this could mean for scotland, which voted remain in 2016. the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, said a future labour government would not block a second vote on scottish independence. but his comments were flatly contradicted by the party's leader in scotland, richard leonard, who said there was no case for it. here is our scotland editor sarah smith.

some performers will do almost anything to attract an audience to their fringe shows in edinburgh. john mcdonnell is pulling in the crowds by saying a labour government should not try to block a second independence referendum. i'm not being set up by nicola sturgeon, because that's what she's trying to do. she's trying to say it's the big bad english that's yet again trying to prevent us having a referendum. no, we're not. what we're saying is that it's unnecessary. we have campaigned against having a referendum, but we're not using parliamentary devices to block it, it's as simple as that. this was after he had been clearly told by labour's scottish leader that's not the policy. i met withjohn mcdonnell this morning to put to him the very clear view that the people of scotland do not want a second independence referendum. and also to remind him that the last independence referendum was supposed to be a once—in—a—generation referendum. many more senior scottish labour figures are furious with mr mcdonnell, saying he's

ignorant of the political situation in scotland. john mcdonnell‘s appearances at the edinburgh fringe have set off a bitter fight within the labour party over a second scottish referendum. one other important thing he has just said is that a labour government would not enter any kind of pact with the snp, because, he said, they are not socialists. in fact, he compared them to tories. hard hat on to deflect thatjibe, nicola sturgeon is both delighted by scottish labour's disarray and prepared to support a minority labour government. i would want, if the circumstances lent themselves to this, the snp to be part of a progressive alliance to keep the tories out of office, and particularly now to avert brexit. festival fever grips edinburgh every august. the scottish political scene is now equally engaging, especially as one poll this week suggested more scottish voters would now say yes to independence than stick with the united kingdom. sarah smith, bbc news, edinburgh.

around 1,500 people who had to leave their homes in derbyshire last thursday because of fears a dam would collapse have finally been allowed to return home. emergency services say the dam wall at the toddbrook reservoir is now stable, after it was damaged following heavy rain. since then, engineers have run a round—the—clock operation, dropping 500 tons of gravel and stone on the damaged part of the structure to reinforce it, and they have used pumps to reduce the level of water by more than ten metres, leaving it just a quarterfull. our correspondent judith moritz has more. this is the moment the whole town was waiting for. without ceremony, roadblocks lifted, whaley bridge open again. the streets empty for a last moment. and then, the first residents began to reappear. amongst them, margot and dave graham, back home for the first time in nearly a week after waiting all morning for the green light. looking at your phone every five minutes, and then happily,

the police just came and said, "cordon‘s off, go home." it's more than bricks and mortar, it's the whole town, it's the community. i've just come back down now to be hugged by one of my neighbours. whaley bridge is back open for business, too. moments after the cordon was lifted, the first haircut was under way. couldn't wait, desperate for a haircut. so, normal life's back on? thank goodness! and to everyone's relief, the pub has been unlocked. landladyjennifer back behind the bar. and counting her blessings a disaster has been averted. you can see the relief. it's emotional, though? it is! it's very emotional. and we got in the car to come down and we've only been staying on chapel road and i drove the car down in floods of tears butjust to be in here is the best feeling in the world. with sandbags being cleared up all around them, people are hugely grateful for the emergency effort. it is amazing. we can't thank this lot enough. if it weren't for this lot,

and their quick actions, we wouldn't have a home to come home to. there was some disruption but the police worked to smooth any problems, themselves pleased to see normality returning. it's made it completely worthwhile. it's what it's been all about for us each day and, you know, i'm just sorry that everyone's had to go through what they've gone through. it's sobering, when you see how close the dam is to the town's primary school, and tonight the school is being used as a centre for returning residents who have any problems. and every household has been given one of these leaflets, which shows them what to do if a repeat evacuation is ever necessary. the dam on the town's doorstep will be monitored closely from now on. after a week whaley bridge would like to forget, no one wants to go through this experience again. judith moritz, bbc news, whaley bridge. police searching for a 35—year—old british woman who disappeared on the greek island of ikaria say they have found a body. natalie christopher, an astrophysicist from london,

was reported missing by her partner on monday after failing to return from a run. pakistan has announced its expelling india's high commissioner and suspending all trade with its neighbour after india stripped its part of the contested state of kashmir of its autonomy earlier this week. and some protests have broken out in the territory, despite tens of thousands of troops patrolling the streets, and phone, television and internet services also being restricted. india's decision means the predominantly muslim state will no longer have right to make its own laws which guaranteed jobs and property for local people. police leading the search for a missing british teenager in malaysia say they have found "several" fingerprints at the window ledge of the hotel room she was staying in. police say they believe 15—year old nora quoirin, who has special needs, is most likely to have wandered off and got lost. nora's parents believe she must have been abducted as she would not have left her room alone. nora's aunt gave a statement

to the bbc on behalf of the family. nora's family was to express our deepest gratitude to the police force, the search and rescue teams, and the emergency services for all they have done for us in this difficult time. we would like to thank our embassies, the local community and the staff here at the hotel and anyone else who has offered to help find nora. we also welcome the assistance of the french, british and irish police. we are so completely overwhelmed by the support we have received from all over the world. this is extremely traumatic for the whole family. sebastien are understandably devastated and to upset to speak for themselves at this time. so we are thankful to the lucy blackman trust for their ongoing support, their

handling all media inquiries for us and enquiries should be directed to them. the family is unable to deal with this at the moment, but we must remain hopeful and we ask everyone to keep nora in their thoughts and to keep nora in their thoughts and to continue to support the ongoing search for her. nora is still missing and she's very vulnerable. and we need to do everything we can to bring her home. that is nora quoirin‘s aunt and cousins giving that statement. let's take a look at some of today's other news. about 55,000 people were expected in

newquay to see the board masters festival. winds of up to 50 miles an hour have been forecast. it's not much betterfor hour have been forecast. it's not much better for the next 2a hours or so. hello, the weather throughout next week remains very unsettled. but before than the potential for some stormy conditions by the end of this week across southern coast of england and wales. this area of low pressure is approaching. it is unusually far south for it the time of year, unusually deep for the time of year, unusually deep for the time of year, unusually deep for the time of year, and given we are supposed to be in summertime, there could be some impacts far and wide. notjust yet, thursday looks like it isn't over many places, we've got a few showers mainly scotland and northern ireland and even these should be fewer and lighter than they were on wednesday. southern coastal counties, clouding over but temperatures higher than wednesday. overnight into friday, we are going to find brains sweeping its way northwards and eastwards followed by

some showers. the wind is picking up on saturday for wales. getting closer on friday and the rain could be quite heavy at times. it shouldn't be too long before it clears away from england and wales and northern ireland, it saunters through scotland where it will hang around for most of the day. then we have these heavy, thundery showers across many western areas. gusts of 60 mild an hour in the far south—west of england. the best of the drier, brighter and probably warmer weather in the afternoon is going to be across the eastern side of england. at our low pressure is still with us as we head into the weekend and the centre of the low drifting is way northwards up towards scotland, giving showers and longer spells of rain going across the northern half of the uk where the northern half of the uk where the winds won't be as strong. england and wales it will be windy, widespread of a0 mild an hour, it may be along the coasts through the

english channel, bristol channel, gusts of 60 mild an hour. temperatures will be lower, we have wetter weather further north. and temperatures will be lower, we have wetter weatherfurther north. and in the second half of the weekend it may be around as well. prospects not quite as promising on sunday because we still have the influence of the same area of low pressure and it will keep showers and spells of rain going along. further south and east, probably dry, those temperatures down to 21— 22 degrees at best. now, for the start of next week, well, we've got one area of low pressure moving away. we don't yet see another one arriving, so that is a change in the forecast for monday. it is sort of a nothing sort of day, really. we have a few showers left over closer to the low pressure, so eastern scotland and north—east england. elsewhere, some sours, some sunshine, but not particularly warm. averages 17 degrees on monday. tuesday, more showers coming in but this time they're moving in from the

west end again some of these could be quite heavy in thundery and they look right widespread by the afternoon as well. so those temperatures 17— 19 degrees. now beyond that, further into next week, we need to look at whetherjet strea m we need to look at whetherjet stream is and it is still to the south of the uk, not where we wanted at this time of the year. on the call decided that jet stream at this time of the year. on the call decided thatjet stream it looks like it will be more u nsettled. looks like it will be more unsettled. the low pressure coming in back across the uk, moving eastwards and making a northerly wind by the end of the week. the position of those lows in those winds are subject to change with the general theme is well into next week it remains very unsettled. showers and longer spells of rain, principles of sunshine, temperatures a bit disappointing for this time of the year.
