another was a passerby. one of the emergencies of the anti—terror police unit, that isa anti—terror police unit, that is a special anti—terror police unit of the austrian police we re unit of the austrian police were sent immediately to the scene when the shooting began at eight o'clock during the evening. he was also injured and is being treated in hospital with another 14 other people injured, most of them with gunshot and one, we believe, with knife injuries. is it certain that there are then several attackers at large? the initial police report spoke of itjulie six particular situations, six different places within the inner city where there had been incidents, but according to the latest information from the police from those press conferences, we know of at least one person at large at this moment. are you getting anything more on casualty figures? we understand two

killed, one of those possibly the attacker, one passerby, one anti—terror officer injured? that's right. the viennese authorities have asked people not to post videos or pictures of the incident, but according to some of the pictures that have been posted, it's believed that the perpetrator who was shot dead by police when they arrived, this was near the main viennese synagogue, he was lying for some time, we don't know if he is still there, in front of the church and it is believed or feared that he might be wearing a suicide vest, but the police have said again in the last minutes that they don't know whether that is they don't know whether that is the case or not. the viennese authorities very much appealing to everyone to stay at home because they say this is an ongoing situation. are you hearing anything more from your contacts about what might have been the thinking behind this attack? what it might be linked to? not really stopping the

viennese have little experience of this. the last terror incident in vienna was in 1985 at vienna airport, at 1981 outside the main viennese synagogue where this one of the attacks during the night seems to have taken place, the first one that was a shooting attack in 1981 one that was a shooting attack in1981 in one that was a shooting attack in 1981 in which many people we re in 1981 in which many people were killed and injured their butt as they say no real recent experience in vienna of this and no speculation at this stage of who might be behind at. next, thank you very much indeed for that. donald trump and joe biden have just a few hours left to try to convince voters to back them — ahead of tuesday's us presidential election. the scale of early voting has been unprecedented with more than 95 million americans having cast their ballots already —

more than double the number who voted early four years ago. the biden campaign has tried to make the road to the white house as safe a journey as possible, holding drive in rallies where mask wearing is compulsory. whether or not you observe the covid—19 protocols has been a marker of your politics. this guy trump has destroyed everything, he is a viable, nasty human being. he can't be the president. viable, nasty human being. he can't be the presidentlj viable, nasty human being. he can't be the president. i want someone can't be the president. i want someone who my daughter can look up to. we need a return to normalcy, decency and the white house and we need somebody who knows how to get things done. this has been such a surreal presidential election, one in which the method of campaigning has actually become a campaign issue in itself. hello philadelphia! joe biden has tried to turn this into the coronavirus election, a referendum on donald trump's handling of viral onslaught

that has killed more than 230,000 americans copy to beat the virus, we first got to beat donald trump. he is the virus! it's not just donald trump. he is the virus! it's notjust the health of america he is seeking to rehabilitate. he says he is trying to save its sole. which is hope overfear. we trying to save its sole. which is hope over fear. we choose unity over division. we choose science overfiction. and unity over division. we choose science over fiction. and yes, we choose truth overlies! biden events a re we choose truth overlies! biden events are nowhere near as crowded as the rallies for donald trump, but that is precisely the point. joe biden is the candidate of a very different america. he's been more high—energy in these final days of campaigning, but for much of 2020 the former vice president has almost been an invisible candidate. thank you,

thank you, thank you, thank you. many americans are yearning for a presidency they could have on in the background, but has this 77—year—old aroused the necessary action that is often needed to win? today began in miami. it 11 these and north carolina. tomorrow we are going to win state and are going to win four more yea rs state and are going to win four more years in our great white house. lunchtime in pennsylvania, a state that will be critical in this selection. from here, he will go into michigan, wisconsin, back to michigan, wisconsin, back to michigan and finally washington, 2500 miles travelled in one day alone. washington, 2500 miles travelled in one day alonelj don't know how many people here but there's a lot of people here. and it's windy as hell and it's cold and i couldn't care. look at that flag. look

at that flag, so beautiful. of the selection was solely about energy and the size of your audience and the creation of a new breed of dog, the labradonald. donald trump would haveit labradonald. donald trump would have it wrapped up. is he going to win? you bet! four more years. it's going to happen, man. there'sjust years. it's going to happen, man. there's just too years. it's going to happen, man. there'sjust too many people out. i'm from new york, dude. i drove three hours. in the cold! that is cold eyed calculation from the trump campaign and holding these rallies. yes, it might lead to an uptick in coronavirus cases, there is no social distancing, few people are wearing masks. benefit encourages thousands more to go out and vote, supporters and their friends, then it's worth it. this is donald trump's bet, this is his gamble. and last night the president seemed to imply he was ready to fire dr anthony

faucl was ready to fire dr anthony fauci, america's trusted and respected infectious disease expert. covid, covid, covid. we like to talk about covid and then the next thing, here's what happens. november four, you won't hear too much about it. fire fauci, the audience cried. and the president responded. don't tell anybody, but let me wait till a little bit after the election. trying to ignore the deepening pandemic, donald trump has strutted his stuff with verve and determination, these past few jawdropping weeks. and determination, these past fewjawdropping weeks. has supporters just hope this isn't the last dance. lets go live to wisconsin. we are at president trump's second last rally here in kenosha. you

will remember kenosha was the scene of where jacob blake, the african—american man was shot seven times by police and president trump arrived here and presented himself as the law and order president. he is returning to kenosha tonight for his second last rally before election day tomorrow and as you have been reporting, and as you have been reporting, a record number of people have already voted in this election, 1.9 of them here in the battleground state of wisconsin. you can probably see behind me several thousand supporters of the president have already gathered stopping now, of course, wisconsin is one of the state's worst affected by the coronavirus pandemic, and you can probably also see behind me that there is next to no social distancing, very few people are wearing masks. i have my mask here but i am socially distancing from the crowd, so i don't have it on right now the situation with the coronavirus

is extremely bad hair stopping the cases are going up by the thousands on a daily basis. hospitalisations are going up as our deaths, and joe biden has really criticised these rallies, calling density super spreader events as have not as. theyissued spreader events as have not as. they issued a letter to the administration asking them to stop these events from taking place. that hasn't stopped the president who was due here imminently before going off to another battleground state, michigan, where he will hold his final rally before the election tomorrow. thank you very much. we'll have a special programme from 2330 gmt on tuesday bringing you the us election night as it unfolds. and you can also find more on our website including this video guide to how the voting system works. just log on to bbc.com/news stay with us on bbc news,
