violent extremism. 11 of the 13 victims were african american. an 18—year—old man has been arrested at the scene — he's not been officially named by the authorities. police say the suspect entered the busy grocery store before opening fire. he also used a camera to live—stream the attack online. he was described as "very heavily armed" and had a tactical helmet and gear. an eyewitness at the scene described the moment he saw the gunman being arrested. after he came out, he had an army suit on, brown boots, sunglasses on, he had a hat on, he had a machine gun or something with a strap on it. he took the machine gun with the strap and put it to his chin. he put the gun down on a strap, and then he took the gun, he put it down, he did put something on his feet, he took his vest off,

and then got on his hands and knees and back, and then they arrested him. earlier, officials in buffalo held a press conference. at approximately 2:30pm today, an individual not from this area, and is from hours away, drove to buffalo. he exited his vehicle, he was very heavily armed, he had tactical gear and a tactical helmet on. he had a camera that he was live—streaming what he was doing. he exited his car and engaged four individuals, shot four people in the parking lot. three of those were deceased, one at this time is surviving the injury. the individual went inside, an 18—year—old white male, walked into the store and engaged customers inside the store. one of the individuals inside the store is the security guard, a beloved guard, a retired police officer, a hero in our eyes.

engaged the suspect, fired multiple shots. struck the suspect. that bullet had no round. the suspect engaged our retired officer and he was shot and deceased at the scene. he continued to work his way through the store. ultimately, he worked his way back towards the front of the store. buffalo police immediately responded and engaged the suspect in the store vestibule. at that point, the suspect put the gun to his own neck, buffalo police personnel, two patrol officers talked him into dropping the gun. he took off some of his tactical gear, surrendered at that point, and was led outside. was put in police transport and transported to the police headquarters. a total of 13 people were shot today, ten deceased at the scene and three sustained non—life—threatening injuries.

graphic video of the killing was quickly circulated on social media because the government —— gunman had left in the attack. the state governor said that not enough was being done to tackle hate material. social media platforms that profit from their existence need to be responsible for monitoring and having surveillance, knowing that they can be, in a sense, an accomplice, to a crime like this. perhaps not legally, but morally. they have created the platform to allow this hate to be spewed, and others, who are like—minded, can become radicalised. people who may not have intended to go down the path, but, they read this. it's pervasive. it is among the big lies that are out there, and we know how insidious it is. we have seen the effects.

but particularly the act of live streaming this. the fact that that can even be hosted on a platform is absolutely shocking. we need to find out what happened and how to make sure it doesn't happen again. strong was coming from the governor of new york state, there. —— strong words. let's get more on our top story now, the shooting in buffalo new york. emily watkins is a reporterfor wbfo and shejoins me now from buffalo. he spent some time in the locality talking to people around this scene. —— you spend. it is striking that the gunman was not from the local community. gunman was not from the local community-— gunman was not from the local communi . . ., , ., community. the gunman was from broome county _ community. the gunman was from broome county which _ community. the gunman was from broome county which i _ community. the gunman was from broome county which i believe - broome county which i believe is about 200 miles away from here. that is several hours away, closer to new york city and i think that is hitting everyone heart that someone would drive so far to commit an act like this.—

president zelensky said the situation in the eastern donbas region remained very difficult. our correspondent laura bicker sent this report from dnipro. yesterday, these smouldering ruins were a home. russian bombs blasted the bricks and mortar, but they've not broken the spirit of this woman. translation: we were standing here as everything exploded. i "my sunshine, you're alive!" her neighbours were relieved to find each other. the russians have now left here, retreated back to near the border. the battle for kharkiv and its surrounding villages has been won — for now. russia's withdrawal from kharkiv marks a breaking point, according to the head of military intelligence in ukraine. what he means is that forces can be sent east to the donbas and south towards the besieged

port of mariupol, areas that are seeing the most intense fighting. just south of dnipro, ukrainian forces test out new grenade launchers... ..weapons supplied from european allies. russian troops are not farfrom here. the ukrainians hope they can push them back and replicate the success of kharkiv. but even with new weapons, a quick victory is farfrom assured. both sides agree on just one thing — this conflict will continue. translation: today, | nobody can predict how long this war will last, but we're doing everything in order to free our land as soon as possible. this is our priority, every day to work towards making the war shorter. however, it doesn't depend only on our people, unfortunately. translation: the collective west has declared total i hybrid war on us, and it's hard to predict how long _ this will last, but it's clear.

the consequences will be felt by everyone, without exception. the ukrainians hold onto every hope. the battered city of mariupol has still not completely fallen, despite taking the most intense battering of this war. encircled and under constant bombardment, a small fighting force battles on. russia is still trying to show its strength and issued its own propaganda of troops on the offensive, but there's no doubt the loss of kharkiv will be a major blow to the kremlin. and both sides are now digging in for what could be a long and protracted struggle. laura bicker, bbc news, dnipro. turkey appears to be softening its position on plans by finland and sweden tojoin nato. ankara has accused the two nordic countries of harbouring kurdish people it deems

terrorists. but the turkish foreign minister now says his country is ready to talk about the proposals. russia's president vladimir putin has warned his finnish counterpart that joining nato and abandoning finland's neutral status would be a "mistake". finland is expected to formally announce its intention to join the western military alliance tomorrow. russia and finland share a1300—kilometre border and russia says it has no hostile intentions towards finland and sweden. moscow is warning that their membership of nato would lead to the militarisation of the baltic region. the finnish president is said to have told president putin that russia's invasion of ukraine had "altered" his country's security environment. speaking ahead of a meeting of nato foreign minsiters — finland's foreign minister pekka haavisto explained his country's situation. we have 1,300 kilometre common

border and it is peaceful and we want to maintain that. it's important we communicate with our neighbour, we don't ask permission. each and every member country of nato has the possibility to prolong the process. there can be delays in the national parliaments and so forth. countries might have their own concerns but i am confident that in the end we will find a solution and finland and sweden will become members of nato. this is bbc news — our main story. ten people have been killed in a mass shooting by a lone gunman at a grocery store in the us city of buffalo. the 18—year—old suspect, who drove for a number of hours to reach the supermarket, still in the us, demonstrations in support of a woman's right to abortion are taking place in cities across the united states. organisers say there'll be what they call a summer of rage if the supreme court overturns

the legal right to abortion. our correspondent, will grant, has the latest from washington. i woman's right to choose, is hers. the message the supreme court was unequivocal. when our reproductive rights are under attack, what do we do? stand up and fight. no bans on our bodies, we would go back, chanted the thousands who turned out in washington, dc, who demanded that the landmark abortion law reverses way, is not touched, and that the justices do not meddle with the decades long a law that protects the rights to what say what goes on in their bodies. i don't know, ifeel like the first abortion march i saw was when i was three years old and the fact that i am still here and i

am 17 and i am still having to fight for my rights, thatjust shows that we have made little to no progress and it is gut—wrenching. abortion is basic health care, it is basic health care. it is horrific that this country continues to abuse their power to oppress people over their basic healthcare there was a similar story in hundreds of cities across the country. the anger and frustration, palpable. organisers have promised a summer of rage if the law is eventually reversed. back in washington, the crowd began to march on the seat of judicial power itself. young people who have attended this march are furious that they are having to march for the same reproductive rights enjoyed by their grandmothers and mothers. furthermore, they fear that this may be a tipping point for other established freedoms in the united states. the supreme court has confirmed that a draft ruling leaked last week was genuine, but said that a final decision is yet to be taken. the the republican party is confident that most americans will accept

an end to roe versus wade with half the states willing to enact a ban on abortion if the law is changed, but these protesters vehemently disagree and insist that they are in the majority on the issue of a woman's right to choose. will grant, bbc news, washington, dc. ukraine has won the eurovision song contest with their song stefania which was sung in ukrainian. president zelensky has praised the band's success — he said, "our music conquers europe". the uk ended their disappointing run of results with sam ryder coming second — the first time that the uk has placed in the top three at the contest in 20 years. mark lowen reports. the colour, the kitsch, the camaraderie. europe's fanfare of fun came to turin. there is politics here,

with ukraine an early favourite and russia booted out, but minds from across europe were on the music. it is magical, it is special, people coming together and celebrating together from all over the world. i would be so proud of my country. you get 12 points for the outfits. thank you very much. how are you feeling about the uk tonight? excited because we think we have a great chance. let the eurovision song contest twenty20 to begin! contest 2022 begin! and then it was off drawing almost 220 million viewers with its unique mix of glam, glitter and glorious tunes. # all we are saying is give peace a chance... a europe seeing war

for the first time in decades coming together in a plea for peace before the entrance took to the stage. the sparkles of spain belting it out with a sequin filled dance. the hosts italy with a heady falsetto all—male love song. sweden once gave birth to abba, remember them? the handwashing of serbia asking why meghan markle's hair is so shiny. and then the uk, too many nil points in recent years but with space man a recent favourite, sam ryder hoping he would match his stratospheric vocals in points. up against ukraine's folk hip—hop number, one band member staying to fight, the other is given special permission. back home the song has won hearts broken by war, proud of their homeland for standing up to russia and now standing tall in europe. as the votes came in from the europeanjuries it

was heading for a close race. the uk, sweden, spain and ukraine leading at the top before it went to the public vote. 183 points. and then the uk had dared to dream big but sam ryder was pipped to the post by ukraine, a eurovision triumph in its darkest moment. the spaceman had hoped to take the uk over the moon but in the end the public went for ukraine. fighting back on the ground, standing proud on stage, living up to its national slogan, glory to ukraine. mark lowen, bbc news, turin. earlier, i spoke to william lee adams in turin. absolutely, there is nothing like an accordion from moldova

to get people going, in the press room people are doing a conga line and in the arena it was pure fire, you could feel the heat all the way over here. just tell me, because the uk, sam ryder�*s song, they were leading at what we would see as the halfway point, if you like, the juries felt, the experts felt that it was perhaps the best song, but then this huge wave of, i guess, sympathy, is it, took ukraine over the finish line and they won it by a huge distance. thejury, which consists of musical professionals, they have different criteria to the public. the jurors are a bit more looking for radio friendly songs, but the public votes votes with its heart, music is feeling, and the ukrainian song, stefania, made people feel something, the staging was so beautiful and emotive, all about mother ukraine taking care of her children as they try to defend her, and we saw these weary eyes on a big led

screen, tearful because of the lost spring, and you saw the hands of mother ukraine on the floor, cradling the artist. it was just beautiful. we often struggle with the politics around eurovision and certain countries tend to lean very directly towards others, and away from others of course, i suppose it is a bit different this time in terms of the ukraine wave. absolutely, you could say the war in ukraine has united europe, and you saw that in the voting. i have been going to the results just now and it seems that 28, almost 30 of the countries, the public vote went to ukraine, a huge amount of countries voting for ukraine, putting them on top. in terms of the jury vote, we saw that 12 points went from neighbours with experience, i guess, of conflict with russia, countries like latvia, lithuania, romania, so you can definitely draw a political narrative out of this. briefly, i know that

you are a psychology expert, how do you manage winning thejury�*s vote, then coming second, albeit to perhaps a better cause, on the day? so, sam ryder, i spoke with him here in turin and he was really open to the idea of ukraine winning. he loves their song. he said it reminds him of the beastie boys, and he loves them as artists. lots of people are fallen in love with him because they know that the struggle they have had to get here. this is about more than a song contest, this is part of a war effort, a reminder to the world that ukraine exists, has a culture, and has a future. former australian cricket player andrew symonds has died in a car crash aged 46. symonds made his debut for australia in 1998 and went on to play 238 times for his country — including 26 tests.

made his mark in the one day game in particular. police said they were investigating a single car incident about 50km from townsville in north queensland. a reminder of our breaking story: ten people have been killed in a mass shooting in a supermarket in the us city of buffalo, in new york state. three others have been wounded. the fbi said they were investigating the incident as both a hate crime and a case of racially motivated violent extremism. 11 of the 13 victims were african american. police who responded to the shooting described the scenes in the supermarket car park and inside the store as like walking onto a horror movie. the gunman — who was wearing body armour and was heavily armed — is now in custody and police are investigating if he livestreamed the attack. the mayor of buffalo said the suspect had travelled

several hours to the city to perpetrate the crime. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @ bbc david eades hello there. hasn't it been a glorious start to the weekend? hardly a cloud in the sky for many. lots of warm, spring sunshine but it was london that recorded the highest temperature, just shy of the warmest day of the year so far with 23.5 celsius. but i do need to draw your attention to this little feature running up through the south—west as we speak, and it's going to continue to bring some sharp, possibly thundery downpours during the early hours of sunday morning. so, becoming more heavy and widespread to central and southern england towards dawn, and yes, that means some welcome rain potentially for the gardens. but not all of us will see those showers, but some of them could be quite potent. they will be running up through east anglia by the middle part of the morning and all the showers drifting

steadily northwards. that means we should see an improving picture across england and wales into the afternoon with sunshine and warmth returning and highs of 23 degrees. not a bad afternoon in western scotland if you dodge the showers and keep the sun as well. sunday night and into monday morning, showers and longer spells of rain merging together as this front enhances precipitation. we will see some wet weather drifting its way steadily northwards to begin with during monday morning, and that means a tricky story to tell across northern ireland, northern england and scotland by the middle of monday afternoon. once again, an improving picture across england and wales after the early morning rain eases away, temperatures will recover. again, we could see 23 celsius. another area of low pressure pushing in from the west, but as it bumps into the high sitting across europe, it looks likely that most of the rain will stay out into western areas, and ahead of it, it's really going to throw up some warm

and humid air, so there's the potential on tuesday for some of us to see the warmest day of the week with highs of 25 celsius. but out to the west, and the cloud and rain, we're looking at mid to high teens. as we move out of tuesday into wednesday and through the middle part of the week, we do see these weather fronts starting to ease away and high pressure building in once again. there will be some outbreaks of rain to clear away, but generally speaking through the middle part of the week, it looks likely to turn that little bit quieter and again, still pretty warm.

this is bbc news, the headlines: at least ten people have been killed in a mass shooting at a grocery store in the us city of buffalo in new york state. the 18—year—old suspect has been taken into custody. police are calling it a hate crime and an act of "racially motivated violent extremism". the mayor of ukraine's second—largest city kharkiv has told the bbc that russian troops have withdrawn from his city, which has been under constant bombardment since the invasion began. but president zelensky has said the situation in the eastern donbas region remains very difficult. abortion rights supporters are protesting in cities across the united states against a probable supreme court decision to overturn the roe v wade case, that legalised abortion nationwide.

large rallies have taken place in houston,
