told us that he was in the park and he sawa man run into told us that he was in the park and he saw a man run into the part, approach a group of around ten men who are sitting in the park enjoying a drink in the sunshine, and start stabbing some of those men. and then they said the attacker ran to another group and started stabbing more of the people there. police say they have arrested a 25—year—old man from reading. now, as part of the investigation they have also carried out raids at a nearby block of flats. officers were seen going into those flat. they were armed and some of them had shields. the police say at the current time they are not treating this as terrorism related. they say they are keeping an open mind as to what was behind this, the motive for the attack, and they are being supported by counter—terrorism officers. but clearly a big investigation at the scene trying to determine why exactly this happened. awful, obviously, for the people involved. and we have been hearing from witnesses talking through what they saw as people fled from the scene. this was, what, 7pm, just a

normal day, people in the park. seven o'clock in the evening and it was very sunny in the uk so and it was very sunny in the uk $03 and it was very sunny in the uk so a lot of people would be out and about enjoying a bit of sunshine. we have obviously had coronavirus restrictions are so small groups are allowed to meet if they social distance. soa meet if they social distance. so a chance for people to meet up. but we have had some reaction this evening from priti patel, the interior minister, the home secretary here in the uk, she said in a state m e nt" here in the uk, she said in a statement". she goes on to say: she goes on to say that people locally should share any information they have with the police. there have been pictures on social media that people have found so the aftermath of the attack. police are asking

people not to share those because they are very distressing, potentially showing people who have died in this incident. but police are very keen to hear from witnesses who may have more information about what happened. police of course asking people to share those images with them and not with each other on social media. what are the avenues now that we think the police will be investigating? we heard very early on, very quickly afterwards, that the terror element of this was a possibility. what kind of things will they be looking at now? i think they will be looking at the background of the suspect. as we said, it is a 25—year—old man from reading. but we understand he is of libyan nationality. the bbc also understands that he had served some time in prison, but not for a terror related offence. so the police will be very keen to look into his background, any clues they can get from that. they have stressed they are not looking for anyone else in connection with what happened and they are saying they don't believe there isa saying they don't believe there is a wider threat to members of

the public, though they are obviously telling people in the area and across the country to be alert. right, thank you very much for that. the investigation only a few hours old but moving very quickly indeed. thank you for bringing us indeed. thank you for bringing us the latest developments. simonjones us the latest developments. simon jones though. president trump is holding his first election rally for several months, in the us city of tulsa in oklahoma. thousands of people attending were asked to sign a waiver, saying they wouldn't sue the trump campaign if they contracted covid—i9. six presidential staff members have tested positive for covid—i9, but campaign officials say none of those infected will go near the venue. the president also spoke about the dangers of the minnesota police department being dissolved following the back lives matters protests. you don't hear them talk about

covid. covid. to be specific, covid—i9. that name gets further and further away from china as opposed to calling it the chinese virus. and despite the chinese virus. and despite the fact that we, i have done a phenomenaljob with it, i've shut down the united states to very heavily infected but all people from china in late january, which is months earlier than other people would have done it, if they would have done it, if they would have done it at all, i've saved hundreds of thousands of lives. we don't ever get even a mention. the president is still speaking now but he has covered a lot of ground already. he has been speaking about the dangers

of the minnesota police department being dissolved following the black lives matter ‘s protest. he used the example of a hombre breaking into a woman's home. that word is often used offensively to refer to latin american and mexican men in the us. hey, it is one o'clock in the morning and a very tough, and i have used the word on occasion, hombre. and a very tough hombre is breaking into the window of a young woman whose husband is away as a travelling salesman oi’ away as a travelling salesman or whatever he may do, and you call 911 and they say, i'm sorry, this number is no longer working. that isjust sorry, this number is no longer working. that is just a sorry, this number is no longer working. that isjust a taste of what donald trump has been saying over the last half—an—hour or so. we can speak to matt mackowiak,

a republican strategist and communications consultant. thanks very much for being with us. a pleasure. thanks for having me. speaking of lots of different elements already taking aim and attacking the media, lots of things that we are kind of used to hearing from and defending his record in tackling the coronavirus, so we will start with that point, him talking about him up blocking flights in from china having an impact. then went on to talk about testing and saying he wished that testing would slow down because it gives you the high numbers. what do you make of that?” took that as a joke. there was laughterfrom the took that as a joke. there was laughter from the audience right after he said it. he said the more you test, the more cases you have, the more negative the coverages. i think that's true. the more important thing is the positivity rate and the hospitalisation rate in

both those numbers have remained fairly low in the united states compared to other parts of the world. so i took thatis parts of the world. so i took that is a joke. my understanding media, and some of his democratic opponents will take that literally. and we will see what he says when he is asked about it but it's only look to me like he was joking. what you make of the fa ct joking. what you make of the fact that the rally is taking place at all. of course the area where he is, he is speaking in tulsa in oklahoma, which has had daily records throughout the week of increases in numbers there. oklahoma was one of the first dates to reopen, they are now in phase three of their reopening. they started reopening. they started reopening during first. so i think you felt it was one of the safest leases to go. being that he wanted to do this large gathering he needs to go somewhere that had a republican mayor and a republican governor and so tulsa has both. think this was a test run. the campaign was to see what the demand is like, whether people show up to these events, whether they can be held safely, and that is what he wa nted safely, and that is what he wanted to go to a safe place to get that out of stop, we have

seen protest, racial practice running up in the last three — four weeks, there have been very little questions about the public health of those. now they talk about the public health risks of this. think it makes a lot of people straight ahead. soi makes a lot of people straight ahead. so i don't think this rally will matter that much. he sort of went through his greatest hits tonight. there wasn't a lot of new material. but he is trying to get back in campaign sheet. we are four and a half months from the election and he hasn't had a rally in a while. it will mix with his official duties. on the messaging, people online and journalist, they are covering it in pointing out he spent nearly ten minutes talking about him walking down a ramp and not really getting a sense of the actual re—election campaign message. is that a frustration for you? a little bit. at i will say this. i think when he gives speeches on teleprompters the messages better, but delivery is worse.

you can tell his heart is really not in it. it's not the language he uses. it is not co mforta ble language he uses. it is not comfortable doing it. but when he does that any white house for major speeches i think may well. in this case, he thinks it's more fun for the audience if he sort of refs. so he does have a telephone to but he does go off script and he wanted to tell a funny story about walking down the rabbit at west .10 days ago. it did take a while and it was a little strange, but it was also kind of endearing and away as well. so he wants to be authentic in these settings, he wants to be very different from other politicians, and he is very different and that cuts both ways, because egress problem sometimes with the things he says, but on the other hand that's part of the reason why people show up at these events hours and hours and hours beforehand, because he is so unpredictable. your analysis is really interesting. thanks so much for talking to us. thank you, take care. we will come back to the us when there are developments there. brazil continues to see

an increase in cases of coronavirus. a day after passing the one million mark the country has announced that almost 50,000 people have died from the virus. only the united states has more. katy watson reports. too many to count, yet each and every one matters. crying grief so raw, a pain that's grown in brazil every single day. it's a pain that trainee surgeon douglas shares. seven members of his family got covid—19. his mother and uncle passed away in the hospital where he works. his grandmother also died. my central nucleus of my family was completely destroyed because my mum and my grandmother, because we are an italian family, so the mama is the centre of the family. he was the only one to attend his mother's funeral. the entire family was quarantined. it is the worst thing ever. because you have nobody to cry with you. you have nobody to give a hug.

they are seeing the curve going up, not going down. do you think bolsonaro is responsible? he has his own part of duty in this, sure. we need, we need a leader and he's not a leader. he's just another politician. and the politicians have decided that cities should start to reopen. after more than three months of quarantine, life as it was before. president bolsonaro continues to say very little. this is what he is wanted from the start, a return to normality, but there is no such thing as normal here with so many people dying and the virus still spreading fast. on the street, though, there's a feeling of trepidation. "public tra nsport‘s full, it's complicated," says this lady, who works as a cleaner. "i'm scared but i have to work, don't i?"

doctors are concerned about a second wave before the first one is even over. jair bolsonaro isn't listening. it's cost him two health ministers, but how will historyjudge him? maybe the election, the next election, it's time. after we go through covid—19, after we spent some time, some years, we'll look behind and see, well, maybe if we'd done it this way or that way, it would be better. but there's no going back. brazil has joined the us as an exclusive member of a club nobody wants to be a part of. katy watson, bbc news, in sao paulo. you are watching bbc news. the headlines: three people have been killed and others are critically injured after a multiple stabbing in the english town of reading. president trump addresses supporters in tulsa, oklahoma, for his first campaign rally since the covid—19 outbreak

reached the us. staying with that now, let's speak to our north america correspondent david willis. david, you've been keeping across this beach. there is a lot going on. what has stood out for you? there is a lot going on, lewis, and president trump very clearly seeking to establish himself as the law and order candidate going into november's presidential election here. he branded those who have caused violence during recent black lives matter protests here in the wake of the death of george floyd as anarchists and says it should bea criminal anarchists and says it should be a criminal offence to set fire to the american flag, one yearin fire to the american flag, one year in prison. this is meat and drink to the crowd there. it isa and drink to the crowd there. it is a thinner crowd than the president had hoped for. he

talked about up to 1 million people signing up to this event in tulsa. it looks like there are plenty of seats spare in the back of oklahoma arena, which has a capacity of about 19,000. and david, a little earlier in the programme we played some of the clips of what he had been saying, talking about the "chinese virus", talking about the "chinese virus", using the word "hombre", this is the kind of language he gets criticised for. what do you think the calculation is for him using it? i think it's playing very much to the base, lewis, and it is lapped up by the people in the maga hearts and people that go to these sorts of rallies. -- maga go to these sorts of rallies. —— maga hats. he loves going off script, if you like, and

just venting. the targets are familiar ones, not least the "fa ke news media", familiar ones, not least the "fake news media", as he calls it, and his presumptive democratic rivaljoe biden. it's interesting, in regards to the apparently smaller than expected turnout, the president named protesters, who he said had prevented people from gaining access to the arena, and the "fa ke gaining access to the arena, and the "fake news media" for staring up concerns with the coronavirus, lewis. —— stirring up. thanks, david. we will let you go back to his speech. china has given details of its new national security legislation for hong kong, which would dramatically change the area's way of life. it includes plans for an office in the chinese territory which would collect intelligence. international organisations and hong kong activists have said this would crush hong kong's freedoms. reged ahmad reports.

these are pictures released by chinese state media as the country's top lawmaking committee meeting in beijing. they are reviewing new draft national security laws for hong kong, set to be fast—tracked and to bypass the territory's own legislature. beijing says they're needed in order to target terrorists and separatists. but china has also revealed new details of the legislation that have alarmed many. the striking part, these laws will override any existing legislation in hong kong that conflicts with it. that's made critics fearful it could erase the prized civil and political freedoms that were supposed to be guaranteed for 50 years after the uk handed back the territory to china. some of the detail reveals that china will have the power to set up an office in hong kong for collecting intelligence. and hong kong's chief executive, appointed by beijing, will have the power

to nominatejudges in national security cases, weakening the independence of the courts in the territory. there is fierce opposition in hong kong to this new law, with those against it saying the bill is far—reaching in what it allows. the draft bill itself would ask the hong kong authorities to monitor the activities, the so—called separatism activities at school, which creates a chilling effect in many ways. and this is what has china worried. pro—democracy protests have been gathering pace in the territory over the last few years, demonstrators even defied coronavirus social—distancing laws earlier this month to mark the anniversary of major protests in the city. china's proposed laws have provoked an angry international reaction, too, with the european parliament voting to take beijing to the international court

ofjustice in the hague if it goes through with the legislation. analysts say beijing's new laws could be in place by september, but it's hard to see how china can implement them without provoking even more demonstrations. reged ahmad, bbc news. next, many people across the world are struggling with homeschooling due to the coronavirus pandemic, but a man in south korea has a particular challenge. kim tae—hoon has fostered 10 north korean boys, most of whom have little experience with the internet and computers. kim and his children told us what this unprecedented online—schooling is like for them. music

now, the effects of the coronavirus lockdown have been felt all around the world. jobs have been lost,

lives have been put on hold. but it's notjust people who have felt the impact — in bolivia, stray animals have suffered because of covid—19. but one man is determined to do something about that, as the bbc‘s tim allman explains. it's pretty obvious that fernando loves his a—legged friends. so much so he spends most of his time travelling around la paz looking out for them. in his brightly coloured van, he and his volunteers straight to deal with an ever—growing problem. translation: more or less 2000 dogs are helped daily in different neighbourhoods and more than 1000 8 million —— 1.8 million russians have been handed out. reach out and ask for help from the one above.

fernando helps as many stray dogsin fernando helps as many stray dogs in bolivia as he can, promoting adoption, sterilisation and education. but the most important thing, giving the animals something to eat. translation: i had food from three restaurants and gave them scraps. and with the quarantine, the volume of abandoned dogs increased by 10,000%, so one bag wasn't enough, we had to carry 3—6 large bags a day to feed the stray dogs. this is a day and night operation. and fernando is not a man to show discrimination, he'll even help the odd stray cat. tim allman, bbc news. a reminder of our top story: three people have been killed and others are critically injured after a multiple stabbing in the english town of reading. that's it. you can get

me online on twitter. i'm @lvaughanjones. my my name is lewis vaughanjones. beauvais. —— bye—bye. hello. sunday gets off to a wet start for many of us, but for many, it will brighten up. but following the rain, don't put the umbrella away because there will be further showers. some of those could be heavy on what will be quite a blustery day for many of us, a bit cooler than it was on saturday. now the rain courtesy of this area of low pressure. it will start to pull away from easternmost parts of england by late morning. still has to push northwards through scotland, though, in the morning and then across the northern isles as the day goes on. now, this is how the day begins temperature—wise. we're looking at temperatures around 10—14 degrees. a very blustery start, particularly where you're still seeing this rain. and, again, it clears from eastern england late morning, still has to push on northwards across the northern isles during the day. but notice behind the rain,

brightening up very nicely. there will be decent sunny spells around, but quite heavy downpours running in towards northern ireland, scotland, parts of northern england. it could be thundery. showers scattered about elsewhere through england and wales. it will move through quite quickly on these brisk winds. these are average speeds. there will be gusts, though, around 30—a0mph in places. and for many, it will be a bit cooler, but there's still some spots in eastern england creeping into the low—20s. now, still some of these downpours around initially on sunday evening, but they will tend to fade. so actually, for many of us, there will be increasing sunshine to end the day, and largely clear overnight and into monday morning. will allow temperatures to dip down a little bit lower, some spots down to single figures as monday begins. your eyes may be drawn, though, to our next weather system coming in, these weatherfronts that will head in through parts of northern ireland and scotland in particular. and with fairly strong winds still associated with the next spell of rain moving in here. so, here's a look at how monday's shaping up, some rain into northern ireland, parts of scotland may just brush parts of north west england and wales as well, especially north and west here, but elsewhere in wales and across the rest of england, it looks to stay mainly dry,

variable cloud and sunny spells. and here, temperatures will creep up a little bit higher, and higher still as the week goes on because this is the picture mid—week — we'll have low pressure to the northwest and this weather and northern ireland, so here, we'll keep temperatures closer to average, bit of warmth in the sunshine, may see a bit of rain at times. closer to the high pressure, though, across large parts of england and wales, it'll be mainly dry with a feed of air not from the atlantic but coming in from a hot continent. this is where temperatures will be heading up. hottest weather of the summer so far and some spots reaching into the low—30s.

this is bbc news. the headlines: police in the uk have launched a murder investigation after three people were killed in the town of reading, west of london. three other people were seriously injured. a 25—year—old man from the town was detained at the scene and has been arrested on suspicion of murder. president trump is addressing thousands of supporters in the republican stronghold of tulsa in oklahoma. he's aiming to boost his flagging poll ratings, but the indoor arena is far from full. plans have been scrapped for mr trump to address an overflow crowd outside. china has given details of its new national security legislation for hong kong, which would dramatically change the area's way of life. it includes plans for an office in the chinese territory which would collect intelligence. international organisations and hong kong activists have said
