welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. let's start with breaking news from colorado. there's been a shooting at a supermarket in boulder. police say there are multiple victims who lost their lives. one of the victims is a boulder police officer. police say a person of interest is now in custody. this of the person of interest was injured and then detained it. joining us now is our north america correspondent david willis. david, what are you hearing? that press conference still ongoing in boulder, colorado. officials there say most people have been killed at an incident ina have been killed at an incident in a grocery store at about 2:30 p:m.. one of them a local police officer. they said they don't know how people are in hospital but at least one

person has been taken to hospital. after the motive came up hospital. after the motive came up police that they don't have any details at the moment. but more information to be released from officials there in boulder in the next few hours. i should bring you up—to—date as well with a statement from the white house which says that president biden has been briefed on the shooting and will be kept up—to—date by his team throughout the evening. up-to-date by his team throughout the evening. david, of course david, _ throughout the evening. david, of course david, i _ throughout the evening. david, of course david, i think- throughout the evening. david, of course david, i think last - of course david, i think last month the president was a memorialfor the month the president was a memorial for the parkland shooting victims and was urging more background checks and people buying firearms. we have just cut away from that lie press conference by police. i think there is still some going on there and we are keeping an ear on that. as you say, this happened at 2:30pm about 30 miles from the state capital of denver. there were reports police are being fired on as they responded.—

attack at this time. and obviously _ attack at this time. and obviously some - attack at this time. and i obviously some frustration attack at this time. and obviously some frustration we were hearing among the reporters covering this, trying to get an idea of the scale of victims. but police say they are still trying to trace and notify the victims families and obviously that is their priority. obviously that is their priority-— obviously that is their riori . . v obviously that is their riori . . �*, ., priority. that's right. in one interesting _ priority. that's right. in one interesting footnote - priority. that's right. in one| interesting footnote perhaps priority. that's right. in one - interesting footnote perhaps to this is thatjust over a week ago, a judge in colorado ruled that the city of boulder�*s ban on the possession and transfer of assault weapons and ten round magazines one of printed by state law as he put it and he overruled it. now that was a case brought by the national rifle association, which remains one of the most powerful lobby groups in this country despite the fact that it is in recent months riddled with scandal over misplaced funds and so on. it remains an extremely powerful organisation

here and the nra warned that the principles behind that ruling in colorado will apply to other localities that are considering similar ordinances. in other words, if they are looking to ban these assault style weapons, than the nra will step in with its lawyers to try to prevent those laws from being passed, mike. david, ou made from being passed, mike. david, you made a _ from being passed, mike. david, you made a point— from being passed, mike. david, you made a point in _ from being passed, mike. david, you made a point in your - you made a point in your coverage as we from outside the us in such circumstances always tend to say sure this will mean a change in the gun laws. just days since the shooting in atlanta, georgia. it is usually unlikely given the events you've just been describing and the activities of the art —— nra that anything will actually change. we nra that anything will actually chance. ~ ., nra that anything will actually chance. ~ . , ., , change. we have been to this auiet change. we have been to this quiet many — change. we have been to this quiet many times _ change. we have been to this quiet many times before. - change. we have been to this| quiet many times before. back to columbine and a whole raft of shootings, all of which have resulted in a lot of hand—wringing, and of calls for

something to be done and we heard similar because they are today at that press conference people saying this should never be allowed to happen again. but invariably nothing comes of it. the house of representatives recently passed legislation regarding background checks, but it has still got to go to the senate and the thought is that it will require considerable adaptation, considerable adaptation, considerable change in order to make it palatable to be passed by the senate. find make it palatable to be passed by the senate.— by the senate. and we should remind you — by the senate. and we should remind you if _ by the senate. and we should remind you if you _ by the senate. and we should remind you if you just - by the senate. and we should remind you if you just join - by the senate. and we should remind you if you just join us | remind you if you justjoin us that we been talking up until now about an active shooter situation and we understand from the police a person of interest as a put it who was injured is in custody and people will have seen footage of a man being led away in handcuffs, shirtless in shorts. but they are saying there is no ongoing public threat.- ongoing public threat. that's ri . ht. ongoing public threat. that's right- and — ongoing public threat. that's right. and there _ ongoing public threat. that's right. and there was - ongoing public threat. that'sj right. and there was another incident in —— involving

somebody with a gun not far away, and that somewhat confused early reports of this incident was of the police are also saying now that those were unrelated, those two incidents. but you are right, no ongoing threat. the person of interest is in custody, they said, and of course we saw in pictures from the scene that a middle—aged man shirtless and wearing shorts was being led away from the grocery store in question in handcuffs. and it appeared that one of his legs was covered in blood. now they were asked of the press conference whether this is the man of interest and they said they cannot confirm that the man being led away was the gunman. clearly a lot of details still to come to the fore here but as i mentioned, officials on the ground they're promising more detail in these conferences throughout the night, mike. conferences throughout the night. mike-— conferences throughout the night, mike. david, thank you very much _ night, mike. david, thank you very much indeed _ night, mike. david, thank you very much indeed for- night, mike. david, thank you very much indeed for that - night, mike. david, thank you| very much indeed for that was up very much indeed for that was up in case you just want to say very brief reminder that we are

hearing a report from the police and authorities generally of multiple people killed in set a grocery store in boulder, colorado. police say multi people using the phrase including locally —— local police officer they cannot do moment given a total of having people have been killed or wounded because they are still tracing and notify the victims families and we will have more as soon as we have more that we can confirm. several western countries have announced sanctions targeted at chinese officials over alleged human rights abuses against the uighurs, a mostly—muslim minority. the sanctions are directed at senior officials in the north—west region of xinjiang who're accused of responsibility for abuses against uighurs detained in camps there. bbc investigations have gathered first—hand testimony of forced labour and allegations of rape and torture of detainees. the sanctions were announced as a coordinated effort by the european union, the uk, canada and the us. our diplomatic correspondent, james landale has more details.

allegations of rape and torture. translation: they did whatever evil their mind could think of, - and they didn't spare any part of my body. the forced sterilisation of women. the so—called re—education centres. the arbitrary detention of more thani million people. the forced labour camps, the suppression of language and culture. for months, the bbc and others have reported on the abuses meted out on the uighur people in north—west china. western governments have criticised, but only now are they acting against what some in china wish to hide. by acting with our partners, 30 of us in total, we're sending the clearest message to the chinese government that the international community will not turn a blind eye to such serious and systematic violations of basic human rights. these are the sorts of camps where the foreign secretary says industrial—scale abuse is taking place, and the four

top chinese officials that britain says is responsible will now be subject to travel bans and asset freezes. the state organisation in charge of security and policing in the region is also sanctioned. european ministers meeting in brussels imposed similar measures, as did canada and the united states. china retaliated immediately by sanctioning ten european political figures and four organisations. and the country's top diplomat in britain was not impressed. xinjiang's affairs are totally china's internal affairs. and the sanction is based on unfounded accusations. you say these are unfounded allegations, but how can you deny the sheer weight of the evidence from survivors, from first—hand reporting, from satellite imagery, from official documentation? so far, the satellite images are not true and the pictures and videos, they are concocted. what we are doing in xinjiang isjust precautionary

measures in anti—terrorism, and that is to safeguard our national interest. in practice, these sanctions are going to affect only a handful of people, but they are significant because it is so unusual for the west to take such collective action against china. what diplomats here want to know is what impact this is all going to have on discussions with china about other issues, like trade or climate change. james landale, bbc news, outside the foreign office. james green is a former minister counselor for trade at the us embassy in beijing who is now a georgetown university senior research fellow. thank you very much for your time. what do you make of this and how do you think china will respond? and how do you think china will resond? , , ., and how do you think china will resond? ,., ., ~ ~ ., respond? good evening, mike and aood to be respond? good evening, mike and good to be with — respond? good evening, mike and good to be with you. _ respond? good evening, mike and good to be with you. this - respond? good evening, mike and good to be with you. this is - good to be with you. this is the approach thejoe biden administration said they were

going to take which was addressing chinese violations in xinjiang working with friends and allies. the result of that was printable given what the campaign said they were going to do. do you think it will make a difference to what china is giving to the uighurs. overtime, ithink what china is giving to the uighurs. over time, i think it shows that the chinese government does take notice and i don't think it will change their actions immediately but over time as governments and companies adjust their interactions with different parts of the xinjiang economy, chinese officials will decide what they want to do with xinjiang and hopefully over time they will reassess with their pastor is and really move on from their current harsh crackdown.— on from their current harsh crackdown. ., ., , ., crackdown. what does it say to ou that crackdown. what does it say to you that this — crackdown. what does it say to you that this pretty _ crackdown. what does it say to you that this pretty broad - you that this pretty broad range of sanctions is not really targeting the top echelon? going for people more in the middle, those officials in the middle, those officials in the middle, those officials in the middle.— in the middle. that's right. the people _ in the middle. that's right. the people the _ in the middle. that's right. the people the un - in the middle. that's right. i

in parts of the european union. that's the warning from the prime minister, borisjohnson. it comes as the row between the uk and the eu over vaccine supplies intensified with a threat that eu could block doses of vaccines manufactured in the eu from being exported to the uk. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports. france tonight, quiet paris, back in lockdown, the disease double where it was last week. on one side of the channel, the number of cases higher and higher, take—up of the vaccine stubbornly low. but on the other... ..the opposite, the disease falling back and vaccines rising. you can see, sadly, there is a third wave under way. when a wave hits our friends, it, i'm afraid, washes up on our shores as well. and i expect that we will feel those effects in due course. that's why we're getting on with our vaccination programme as fast as we can.

monsieur! much quicker here than on the continent, where countries are closing their doors again, but there've been public doubts from politicians about the safety of the jabs and significant shortfalls in the astrazeneca vaccines the eu ordered. and in the last few days, brussels has dangled the prospect of blocking exports. nothing is off the table. it is entirely legitimate - for the european union to be looking at the different tools that it has at its disposal- or could have at its disposal. getting the vaccine here isn't always smooth or straightforward, but a big majority of the 100 million astrazeneca jabs on order are being made in the uk. a small amount�*s due from a factory in the netherlands, and there are suggestions that could be shared with the eu. 10 million doses are expected from india, five already here and five held up. but there are a0 million of the pfizerjab on order. it's mainly made in belgium, but relies on a component made here.

first off, there's no immediate threat to the vaccine programme here. the government's adamant contracts signed months ago will be honoured, and although borisjohnson's talked on the phone to eu leaders, there's no desire in downing street to get sucked into a diplomatic screaming match. but the eu is so far behind, they're likely to keep pushing hard for a way to catch up. but many of its members might resist something as blunt or dramatic as stopping vaccines crossing the channel. i think it would be a very retrograde step. it would, in my view, be counter—productive. i understand the issues with astrazeneca. there's huge tension there between astrazeneca and the european union. they have not fulfilled their contracts. but there is no point in undermining the other companies. while vaccinations break records here, a brand—new centre in middlesbrough can give 1000 injections a day, travel to our neighbours could be limited even further. in this pandemic, vaccines have a high practical and political price.

laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. a reminder of our top story. there's been a shooting with multiple casualties at a supermarket in boulder. here's the police statement from a press conference a short while ago. we had a very tragic incident today at king sooper. there is loss of life and multiple people killed in this incident. and i'm sorry to have to report that one of them was a boulder police officer. i can share with the public today this evening that there is no ongoing public threat, that we do have a person of interest in custody. that person was injured during the incident and is being treated for the

injuries. that is the local police chief and we are hoping to speak with someone on the scene but having trouble with medications there but back with the story as soon as we can. thousands of rohingya refugees living in a migrant camp in bangladesh have been forced to flee after a fire broke out. the blaze spread rapidly, destroying hundreds of shelters in the cox's bazaar camps, home to more than a million refugees who've fled myanmar since 2017. our south east asia editor anbarasan ethirajain reports. a raging inferno in one of the world's largest refugee the bamboo huts of the rohingya refugees were no match for the intense blaze. black smoke billowed over burning shanties, triggering panic among its residents. it was the worst blaze to hit the settlement in recent years. translation: today, - i lost my shelter, my money, my relief, my clothes, everything i lost, really. this man is from the camp,

which was partly destroyed by the fires. he has taken refuge at an emergency shelter. thousands like him from the camp have become homeless, and the real damage has yet to be ascertained. emergency services battled for seven hours to control the fire. translation: since we reached here, we've been trying - to douse the fire. there are numerous cylinders for cooking gas, and we are trying to overcome that problem to fight the fire. the cause of the blaze is still not known. nearlyi million rohingya muslims live in cramped conditions in the camps in cox's bazaar district. the vast majority fled in myanmar in 2017 from a military—led crackdown in which many homes and villages were torched. these people, the rohingya refugees, they have already gone through extremelyl traumatising events over the last couple of years. and they're obviouslyl

living under very, very challenging conditions, so you can imagine - that, you know... they're already dealing with a lot of stress. - and that is certainly... this event is certainly- going to further affect them. with the sunset, a sense of gloom amongst the rohingya. despite the smoldering ash, the residents tried to collect their remaining possessions. even before they can recover from the trauma of the violence in myanmar, yet another tragedy has struck the rohingya. anbarasan ethirajan, bbc news. sloan dickey is a reporter at denver seven news. he is live at the scene. i know you are very busy. our viewers will have some basic idea of what has been going on

students and three teachers died and president biden called for more background checks are people buying weapons and a ban on assault rifles. we will have more as soon as we have it. hello there. many of us started the week dry with some spring sunshine. but things are going to change over the next few days. it is already turning cloudier. it will turn wetter and windier, and briefly for the end of the week, it'll turn quite a bit colder. now, on the satellite picture, you can see a lot of cloud out west. this cloud being brought in our direction by a south—westerly breeze. as that breeze sets in, it is laden with moisture. so, that is going to deliver a lot of cloud through tuesday, especially across western parts of the uk, where the cloud will squeeze out some spots of light rain and drizzle. and we'll see some more persistent rain pushing into northern ireland and western scotland later in the day, where it will also be turning quite windy. breezy elsewhere, the best of any sunshine across north east scotland, central and eastern parts of england, but generally speaking, it will be cloudier than it was on monday.

top temperatures for most between 9—13 degrees. now, through tuesday night, this band of cloud and rain will push south—eastwards out of scotland and northern ireland down into england and wales. clearer spells and some showers following on behind. our band of cloud and patchy rain comes courtesy of a weather front, and this weather front is developing something of a wave. you can see this kink on the weather front here. so, instead of clearing through quickly, the front hangs back across england and wales for a time. cloud and patchy rain, which will only slowly slide south—eastwards. brightening up for wales and northern england through the day. northern ireland and scotland will see sunshine and a scattering of heavy showers, perhaps becoming more widespread late in the day. temperatures between 10—13 degrees in most places. now, thursday is a sunshine and showers day. some of the showers will be heavy, possibly thundery, most plentiful across northern and western areas, where we could see them joining together to give a spell of more persistent rain later in the day. again, those temperatures around 10—13, maybe 14 degrees. but those temperatures

are set to fall. this cold front pushing through as we head into friday, and behind it, you can see showers which could well start to turn wintry over high ground because there'll be some much colder air digging its way in. it's not going to last too long, but friday is going to be a chilly—feeling day. some spells of sunshine, but some showers which could be heavy and wintry over high ground in the north and the west. and those temperatures quite a bit lower, 7—10 degrees.
