hello, welcome to bbc news. police in the uk have launched a murder investigation after three people were stabbed to death in the town of reading, west of london. three other people were seriously injured. police were called to the scene in forbury gardens in the centre of reading around seven pm7:00pm on friday evening. a 25—year—old man from the town was detained at the scene and has been arrested on suspicion of murder. 0ur news correspondent helena wilkinson reports from the scene in reading. thames valley police say that a man was arrested at the scene. the bbc understands that he is thought to be libyan. he is in custody at the moment. and, also, the prime minister, boris johnson, has responded to what happened here on saturday evening. he has said in a statement "my thoughts are with those affected" by what he describes as "an appalling incident

in reading" and he goes on to thank the emergency services on the scene. and we spoke to one eyewitness who was in the park, he saw what happened. and he told us he saw a man go to a group of people, began stabbing people in the group, moved onto another group and did the same, and then left the park very quickly. now, officers clearly want to speak to anybody who was in the park when that incident happened. they are asking people, though, not to share what has been very distressing footage on social media. but a huge investigation here in reading tonight. 0ur news reporter simon jones is across all the latest developments. what is happening now? we have had a statement of note from thames valley police who are leading this investigation. they have confirmed that three people were stabbed to death and another three people were

seriously injured. they are currently being treated in hospital now, one eyewitness who was in the park at the time told the bbc that there were a lot of people out enjoying the evening sunshine. this was around 7pm. when suddenly a man ran in, he started shouting something, he approached a group of around ten men and started stabbing some of them. then ran onto another room and started stabbing other people. 0ther started stabbing other people. other people in the palka forced to flee for their lives. the lease tell us a 25—year—old man from betting has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is currently in custody —— police are tell us a 25—year—old man from reading. they are not treating this as a terrorism related incident. they're giving terrorism related incident. they‘ re giving an terrorism related incident. they're giving an open mind. they're giving an open mind. they are being supported by counter—terrorism officers but they don't believe that there isa they don't believe that there is a wider threat to the general public. the key thing now is trying to establish a motive behind this attack. what has been the political reaction? as you can imagine, such a big incident has

promoted a big response. the prime minister has been kept up—to—date with the latest developments and we have heard from the dish home secretary, priti and she has said this. she describes it as a senseless attack and goes on to say that she asks people to share any information they have with the police. that is a key point. 0n social media pictures have been posted of the immediate aftermath of the attack and the home secretary and the police are urging people not to share these pictures on social media. they are very distressing and they show people who have potentially lost their lives. instead police want people to be in direct contact with them with any information they have. absolutely awful and upsetting sense there. simon, i want if you can do us a favour and clear up some of the misunderstanding from earlier on. you touched on it there,

around whether or not this is a terror investigation. there is also a demonstration, a black clothes demonstration matter —— black lives matter demonstration in the area. around four hours before this attack took place, during saturday afternoon, there was a demonstration, a peaceful demonstration, a peaceful demonstration by black lives matter. stabbing took place near to that demonstration happened. so some peoplejump to the conclusion that it was potentially linked. but the organisers of the black lives matter demonstration have made it clear that there demonstration finished long before this attack took place and they say there is no link with that demonstration and the attack and that has been confirmed by thames valley police who are saying they are not linking those events. thank you for clearing that up for us. you for clearing that up for us. thank you, simon. let's get some of the day's other news. the federal prosecutor for new york has said he's leaving his position immediately after being removed by president trump.

geoffrey berman, who led the investigation into mr trump's personal lawyer, michael cohen, had earlier denied reports he had resigned. he'd originally said he would stay in place until a successor had been confirmed by congress. a usjudge has blocked president trump's attempt to halt the publication of a book written by his former security advisor, john bolton. mr bolton was fired by mr trump in september after 17 months of serving in the white house. the book includes claims that mr trump had been unaware that britain was a nuclear power, and that he had sought help from chinese president xi jinping to win the presidential election. president trump has told a rally of his supporters in tulsa in oklahoma that anyone who burns the american flag should face a year injail. this was trump's first rally since march, when the us coronavirus lockdown began. although the president said that almost a million people had requested tickets for the event, the tulsa's bank of oklahoma centre, which can

host up to 19,000 people, was however far from full. during his speech, trump said he asked for coronavirus testing to be slowed down because the us was having so many positive test results. i've been speaking about these remarks from mr trump to republican strategist matt mackowiak. i took that as a joke. there was laughter from the audience right after he said it. you know, he said the more you test, the more cases you have, the more negative the coverage is. and that's true. the more important thing is the positivity rate and the hospitalisation rate and both of those numbers have remained fairly low in the united states compared to other parts of the world.

so i took that as a joke. i understand the media, and some of his democratic opponents will take that literally. and we will see what he says when he's asked about it but it certainly looked to me like he wasjoking. what you make of the fact that the rally is taking place at all? of course the area where he is, he's speaking in tulsa in oklahoma, which has seen daily records throughout the week of increases in numbers there. well, 0klahoma was one of the first states to reopen, they're now in phase three of their reopening. they started reopening ijune. so i think he felt it was one of the safer places to go. being that he wanted to do this large gathering he needed to go somewhere that had a republican mayor and a republican governor and so tulsa has both. look, i think this was a test run. the campaign wants to see what the demand is like, whether people will show up to these events, whether they can be held safely, and that's why he wanted to go to a safe place to get that started. look, we've seen protests, racial protests around the country over the last 3—4 weeks. there have been very, very few

questions about the public health risk to those events. and so now to see the media turn around and ask questions about the public health risks of this i think makes a lot of people kind of scratch their head. so i don't think this rally will matter that much. i thought that he sort of went through his greatest hits tonight. there wasn't a lot of new material. but he's trying to get back in campaign shape. we are four and a half months from the election and he hasn't had a rally in 119 days. and now they're back on the campaign trail and he will mix that in with his official duties. 0n the messaging, people online and journalists, 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. but i will say this. i think when he gives speeches off teleprompters the message is better, but delivery is worse. you can tell his heart

is really not in it. it's not the language he uses. he'ss 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 riffs. so he does have a telepromter but he does go off script and he wanted to tell a funny story about walking down the at west point 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. 0ur our thanks to the republican strategist matt mackowiak there. now, during his long campaign speech the president spoke about the dangers of the minnesota police department being dissolved following the black lives matters protests. he used the example of an "hombre" breaking into a woman's home. "hombre" is the spanish word "man" and is often used

offensively to refer to mexican and latin american men in the us. hey, it's one o'clock in the morning and a very tough, you know, i've 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 or whatever he may do, and you call 911 and they say, "i'm sorry, this number is no longer working." let's speak to our north america correspondent david willis. david watched the speech for us. david watched the speech for us. let's pick up with what we just heard him talking about there, david. because anyone who was watching has known of the last few weeks racial tensions in the us, so high at the moment, and yet donald

trump seemingly not being the most sensitive around issues around race. no. it would seem that that is very much the case, lewis. and people have been watching this speech to see what the president would say about the protest about racial injustice in this country and the answer to which was very little of virtually nothing. he did say that he has done more for black americans in his four years in office than his presumptive arrival joe biden had done in 47 years and that was kind of central to his knocking of joe and that was kind of central to his knocking ofjoe biden, who he also called a shameless hypocrite and a hostage of the radical left. the president, as you mentioned, also recommended that it be a major offence, a criminal offence, for anybody to set fire to the american flag, an offence which he thought should be punishable by a year in prison. he talked

about nominating new conservative justices to the us supreme court, the highest court in the land full that's significant because, of course, this last week has seen the president being dealt two defeats by the supreme court. and, overall, he was very keen to get back to this election rally format, we know, we have seen over rally format, we know, we have seen over the years, he enjoys it personally, but behind that he hasn't been doing particularly well in certain polls recently. he hasn't. he has had a pretty disastrous week in various forms and that scene, of course the publication of a book by his former national security advisorjohn bolton, which is very critical of the president and his ability to govern. we had those setbacks, as i mentioned, in the supreme court and we have seen the number of coronavirus cases here in the

united states multiply. added to which, the present‘s approval rating has diminished and all the polls, major polls recently put him quite considerably behind joe biden stop now, there was a lot of speculation that this would be, as the start of his re—election campaign, a very big rally today, but seems there were some empty spaces in the auditorium and that will not have pleased donald trump. 0k, yeah, that was a 90 minute also beach, it has now finished and we can now let you go. thanks, david —— 90 minute also speech. you are watching bbc news. 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. brazil continues to see an increase in cases of coronavirus. a day after passing the one million mark, the country has

announced that now 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. 0n 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. spain has agreed to let british citizens and those from the european union travel to the country from sunday without the need to self—isolate for two weeks because of the coronavirus pandemic. the spanish foreign minister said her government was discussing whether britain would reciprocate and lift its quarantine measures, but explained spain took the unilateral decision out of "respect" to those with second homes

in the country. we are discussing with the uk authorities to see if they would do the same on their side. we nevertheless are doing this out of respect for the 400,000 british citizens that have a second residence in spain and that are dying to benefit from their homes in our country. we want to make sure that we honour our commitment to treat british citizens who are on an epidemiological basis similarto are on an epidemiological basis similar to other european union member states, to continue to be able to join their homes in spain, as from june 21. people have been gathering at anti—racism rallies in a number of towns and cities across the uk, despite appeals to stay away due to the lockdown restrictions. chi chi izundu reports.

chanting: black lives matter! for a fourth consecutive weekend, people have taken to the streets in the name of protest. chanting: black lives matter! the numbers are not as large but the message is still the same. if we don't fight for it, no one will listen to us. we have a voice and we have to use it. the uk is not innocent, you know? so, lam here standing with the whole world right now. with all of us here together hopefully we make enough noise that the people that need to hear it understand and change can be made for the better. tomorrow is the anniversary of when the ship empire windrush docked in essex, and it has been three months since the windrush scandal review was published, which detailed how some of those who came on that ship were told they were in britain illegally and in some cases deported decades later. we also need to ensure that they implement the home office review into the windrush scandal! cheering and applause. if we keep on doing reviews

and not actually executing and implementing the previous ones, we are not learning and we are not growing from our past mistakes. we consistently put things under the rug and then move on and start something new, and that is a vicious cycle that this country seems to do. say it loud, say it clear! in glasgow, despite police and the scottish government appeals to stay away because of coronavirus, people gathered in george square. these scuffles from counter protesters controlled by officers at an otherwise peaceful event. the purpose is to send a message that glasgow says no to racism and fascism. glasgow says no to thuggery. the people gather here to celebrate world refugee day, and we are also here to raise our voice that fascism and racism in this city is not welcome. there was a gathering in newcastle. and people demonstrated in coventry. protest organisers say they're grateful the prime minister is listening to them, but they still want reform

and change — and until that reform and change is tangible, they'll keep taking to the streets. chi chi izundu, bbc news. 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 ten 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.

next, the effects of the coronavirus lockdown have been felt all over the world. jobs have been lost and lives put on

hold. but it isn'tjust people who have felt the impact. in bolivia, stray animals have suffered because of covid—19, but one that is determined to do something about that, as tim allman explains. it's pretty obvious that fernando loves his 4—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 try to deal with an ever—growing problem. translation: more or less, 2,000 dogs are helped daily in different neighbourhoods and more than 1.8 million rations have been given out during the quarantine. it can be done. reach your hand out a little and ask for help and listen to the one above. the authorities estimate there are nearly 800,000 stray dogs in bolivia. fernando helps as many of them 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 three, 4, 5, 6 large bags a day to be able to feed the street dogs. this is a day and night operation — donations coming in from across the city. and fernando is not a man to show discrimination, he'll even help the odd stray cat. tim allman, bbc news. a quick reminder of our top story. three people have been killed and others critically injured after a multiple stabbing in the english town of reading. police are reportedly investigating whether this was a terrorist incident.

you can reach me on twitter. i'm @lvaughanjones. i'm lewis vaughan—jones. this is bbc news. goodbye. 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—40mph 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.

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 this would crush hong kong's freedoms.
