in texas, 19 children and 2 teachers are killed by a gunman — the second deadliest mass shooting in american history. president biden has this message. iam sick i am sick and tired of it. we had to act. and don't tell me we can't have an impact on this carnage. and don't tell me we can't have an impact on this carnage. details — and pictures — emerge of those who died. we'll get the latest from our correspondent on the ground. the issue first came into view at the end of december last year with the end of december last year with the daily mirror carrying a story about a christmas party while restrictions were in place. in the months that followed the story has grown and grown. there is no a parliamentary inquiry and we have had the police investigation which

has led to a number of fines and there has been an investigation by there has been an investigation by the civil servant sue gray. and borisjohnson has been asked about these parties in downing street and recent months often he said this. we need recent months often he said this. - need to hear what sue gray has to say. need to hear what sue gray has to sa . ,, , . , ., ., say. she is the civil servant who investigated _ say. she is the civil servant who investigated the _ say. she is the civil servant who investigated the gatherings - say. she is the civil servant who investigated the gatherings are | say. she is the civil servant who - investigated the gatherings are now her full is out. it details multiple events. she tells us:. i am humbled and i've learned a _ tells us:. i am humbled and i've learned a lesson, _ tells us:. i am humbled and i've learned a lesson, mr _ tells us:. i am humbled and i've learned a lesson, mr speaker. l tells us:. i am humbled and i've i learned a lesson, mr speaker. she booted 16 events. one of them is a bring your own gathering in the downing street garden. the prime minister's then principal private secretary said the invite and a number ten special adviser messaged him on the day saying the press

conference will probably finish around that time so helpful if people could be mindful that the speakers and cameras are leaving and not walking around waving bottles of wine, etc. he replied, iwill do not walking around waving bottles of wine, etc. he replied, i will do my best. others raise concerns, too. an e—mail saying 200 odd person invitation for drinks in the garden of number ten is somewhat of a commons risk in the current environment. in the end 30 or a0 people attended to and including borisjohnson and in time it would be a comms risk. then there was this event and the prime minister's birthday for what she has now been fined and also details a party is the prime minister didn't attend. onejune 2020, the then head of ethics and the cabinet office brought a karaoke machine. she has since been fine. sue gray tells us the event lasted for a number of hours. there was excessive alcohol consumption by some individuals. one individual sick. there was a minor

altercation between two other individuals. responding to the report borisjohnson says he did not know the extent of what was happening. been as surprised and disappointed as anyone else in this house as the revelations have unfolded. numberten house as the revelations have unfolded. number ten staff are so question this. before the report one told the bbc he must have known the rules were being broken. truth? told the bbc he must have known the rules were being broken.— rules were being broken. why is he den in: rules were being broken. why is he denying this- _ rules were being broken. why is he denying this. and _ rules were being broken. why is he denying this. and we _ rules were being broken. why is he denying this. and we have - rules were being broken. why is he denying this. and we have been - rules were being broken. why is he. denying this. and we have been with him this_ denying this. and we have been with him this entire time. we knew that the rules_ him this entire time. we knew that the rules had been broken. we knew that these _ the rules had been broken. we knew that these parties happen. of the rules had been broken. we knew that these parties happen.— that these parties happen. of the prime minister _ that these parties happen. of the prime minister did _ that these parties happen. of the prime minister did not _ that these parties happen. of the prime minister did not realise - that these parties happen. of the i prime minister did not realise some security staff did. t prime minister did not realise some security staff did.— security staff did. i remember when a custodian — security staff did. i remember when a custodian tried _ security staff did. i remember when a custodian tried to _ security staff did. i remember when a custodian tried to stop _ security staff did. i remember when a custodian tried to stop it - security staff did. i remember when a custodian tried to stop it all - security staff did. i remember when a custodian tried to stop it all and i a custodian tried to stop it all and he was just shaking his head a custodian tried to stop it all and he wasjust shaking his head being like, this shouldn't be happening. people laughed at him. sue gray's re ort people laughed at him. sue gray's report addresses _ people laughed at him. sue gray's report addresses this, _ people laughed at him. sue gray's report addresses this, too. - people laughed at him. sue gray's report addresses this, too. she i report addresses this, too. she writes of multiple examples of poor treatment of security and cleaning staff. borisjohnson has condemned theirs. some cleaning staff are

ou hear mps. what we know about that? (saw you hear me 0k? one more time, can you hear me ok? one more time, can you hear me ok? one more time, can you hear me ok? one more time, can you hear me 0k?— you hear me ok? one more time, can you hear me ok? that is a shame. we know the prime _ you hear me ok? that is a shame. we know the prime minister _ you hear me ok? that is a shame. we know the prime minister has _ you hear me ok? that is a shame. we know the prime minister has been - know the prime minister has been speaking to the 1922 committee which represents the cohort of tory mps who are in westminster. there was buying desks as often in these situations. notjust after reporters, but whenever the prime minister enters if he's in good terms with his mps and we understand the prime minister once again apologised some of the things that happened in downing street. let's try one last time if we can speak to damien. taste try one last time if we can speak to damien. ~ ., _, ., damien. we had some communication interference — damien. we had some communication interference there. _ damien. we had some communication interference there. tell— damien. we had some communication interference there. tell is _ damien. we had some communication interference there. tell is what - interference there. tell is what happened in this meeting with mps. it lasted about an hour and in its borisjohnson, as is traditional in

these meetings, he went in, the tory mps, backbench mps and the ones you don't have governmentjobs are buying the desks and cheering him as he went in. better sort of traditional. there are different accounts. a couple of mps came out saying he was contrite and offered apologies. he understood and got the message and it was time to try to win back people's trust. a different account elsewhere with one mp saying it turned into a bit of a joke that somebody may have suggested that alcohol should be banned in downing street and the prime minister by this account and started talking about tractors and farmers and the second world war. mps were laughing. so it does not seem what happened in that event was much sign of deep dissatisfaction among tory mps. all along they said they would wait and passjudgment or decide along they said they would wait and pass judgment or decide when we see the sue gray report. now many of

them, it seems, don't really want to move against the prime minister but we have one mp today who has added his name. julian sturdy. to those calling for the prime minister to resign. he's put a message out there. and he said the report clearly shows the prime minister presided over widespread culture disregard for regulations, questions are being asked about whether he misled parliament only talked about this as being a time of massive challenges. clearly a time we cannot have any doubt about the honesty and integrity and personal character of the prime minister. that is interesting that he said that because whatever those tory mps in the backbench committee thought the report is pretty damning for the prime minister. we now know he did break the rules on one occasion and was fine for that. is the prime minister to have been found to broken the law. he was very critical

of the culture he presiding over a disregard for the rules in downing street. �* ~ , ., , disregard for the rules in downing street. �*~ , ., , street. bmps, on the seen as report and decided — street. bmps, on the seen as report and decided the _ street. bmps, on the seen as report and decided the prime _ street. bmps, on the seen as report and decided the prime minister - and decided the prime minister stays. it is the parliamentary inquiry for ten or do they not need to wait for they are ready to move on with mrjohnson in charge? aha, to wait for they are ready to move on with mrjohnson in charge? b, 11th on with mrjohnson in charge? a lot were tuite on with mrjohnson in charge? a lot were quite quiet — on with mrjohnson in charge? a lot were quite quiet today. _ on with mrjohnson in charge? tot were quite quiet today. this in the melted away and really want to put on the spot too much. hoping perhaps that events will move on as they already have done. we got to this point. events will move on and this might sort of fade into the background but that inquiry hasn't begun yet. it will begin but there is business to do with the committee and how it can call witnesses and that has to be sorted out first and then the small committee of mps will need but this time it took them several months to reach a conclusion

so we could well be looking at the far side of the summer before that committee does come back with any sort of decision. for committee does come back with any sort of decision.— sort of decision. for the moment, thank ou sort of decision. for the moment, thank you very — sort of decision. for the moment, thank you very much. _ let's talk about the mass shooting at a school in texas. 19 children and two teachers have been killed. it's the second deadliest school shooting in american history — after sandy hook.it happened in the city of uvalde in texas — west of san antonio — at the robb elementary school, in uvalde. it's a primary school — pupils are between 7 and 10 years old — and it's a predominantly hispanic school. let's hear first from an official at rob elementary school. my my heart was broken today. we are a small community and we will need your prayers to get us through this.

the gunmen arrived at the school around about 1130 am local time. he was 18 years old, a local student. we had a handgun and a semiautomatic rifle. he had bought these guns visit 18th rifle. he had bought these guns visit18th birthday. it's reported he shot his grandmother before he went to the school. local police tell us what happened when he entered the school. we had local police officers, state troopers responding unseen, they were the primary officers on scene and help the gunfire so the shooter. at that point they were met with gunfire by the shooter and several police officers were shot. at that point the gun and the shooter were able to make entry into a classroom, barricaded himself in at that point and started shooting children and teachers that were inside, having no regard for life. a complete tragedy. an evil person going into the school and killing children for no reason whatsoever. we know mail information

due to facebook posts made by the gunmen before the attack. the first ost was gunmen before the attack. the first post was to — gunmen before the attack. the first post was to the _ gunmen before the attack. the first post was to the point _ gunmen before the attack. the first post was to the point of _ gunmen before the attack. the first post was to the point of he - gunmen before the attack. the first post was to the point of he said - gunmen before the attack. the first post was to the point of he said i'm | post was to the point of he said i'm going to shoot my grandmother. the second post was i shocked my grandmother. the third post, may be less than 50 minutes before arriving at the school, was i'm going to shoot an elementary school. at the school, was i'm going to shoot an elementary school. we now know the names of some of those killed. xavier lopez, 10—years—old. we hear his mum had attended his awards ceremonyjust hours before the shooting. uziyah garcia was 9. his grandfather described him as the sweetest little boy that i've ever known. 10—year—old ameriejo garza was among those killed. and ellie garcia. her father wrote on social media, 'our ellie was a doll, and was the happiest ever�*. teacher eva mireles also died. a relative told reporters she was trying to protect her students from the gunman

before she died. we heard from audrey garcia, whose daughter was a former student of eva mireles. my my daughter had her in third grade and my daughter has down syndrome. she is a special needs student. and i had her included in regular classrooms so she was a teacher. in that classroom, she treated gabby just like the other kids. she didn't have any lower expectations of gabby. she worked diligently every day to make sure that gabby reached her potential. you can see in that photo exactly the kind of educator she was. and gabby and i will never, we could never have thanked her enough for what she did. but now that she is gone i want the world to

know exactly who she was as an educator and as a human we don't ever want that to be forgotten. let's look at the reaction. now let's look at the reaction elsewhere. in washington, flags were lowered to half mast. and president biden had this message. how many scores of little children who witness what happened see their friends die, as if a battlefield. i'm sick and tired. we have to act. president biden had this message because, of course, this happens a lot in america. in 2022 more than 200 mass shootings and that includes 27 school shootings. as the bbc reported recently guns over to car crashes to become the leading cause of death for us children in 2020.

david campaigns for more gun control and is a school shooting survivor. you might it is incredibly hard for those people. it is hard on people who have been affected by the scenes again and again in the news. it is read traumatising. and activists like david want to change america's gun laws which are the relaxed in the world. access to assault weapons comes up. this shows the state of the restrictions on assault weapons. relatively few of them. buying guns in america is easy. the us rate of gun ownership in the world, well a hail of yemen in second. 52% of americans say they want stricter gun laws. that figure is at its lowest level for years. the right to bear

arms is in the us constitution. that is why some oppose change. like this texas senator. the is why some oppose change. like this texas senator-— texas senator. the immediate solution is _ texas senator. the immediate solution is to _ texas senator. the immediate solution is to try _ texas senator. the immediate solution is to try to _ texas senator. the immediate solution is to try to restrict - solution is to try to restrict constitutional rights for law—abiding citizens. it does not work. it is not affected. what does prevent crime is going after felons and fugitives and those with serious mental illness.— mental illness. republicans tend to su ort mental illness. republicans tend to support gun — mental illness. republicans tend to support gun rights- _ mental illness. republicans tend to support gun rights. democrats - mental illness. republicans tend to j support gun rights. democrats tend to want to bring in further checks. and with most things in america this is a partisan issue. a decade ago at a school in connecticut 20 children and six teachers were killed. at the time, barack obama was president, joe biden was his vice president. they put forward a bill to make gun ownership harder. it failed to become law and that has happened again and again in congress. this was an address to lawmakers yesterday.

white magnets bringing our correspondence.— correspondence. this quiet neighbourhood, _ correspondence. this quiet neighbourhood, this - correspondence. this quiet neighbourhood, this quietl correspondence. this quiet i neighbourhood, this quiet city correspondence. this quiet - neighbourhood, this quiet city has been torn apart by the events of what happened inside a school behind me and every now and again you see families with young children carrying flowers and balloons and teddy bears which the police pick—up to put outside the sign that says elementary school. insider parents waiting to find out what happened to their loved ones and the amount of media here is intense. there is so much media and you ask yourself the mass shooting still make headlines in this country given this is the eighth mass shooting this year. 27 school shooting this year. it does make headlines because were talking about children. 19 children killed inside a school and we are learning

more about the horrific details of what happened, the gunmen identified as an 18—year—old barricaded himself in a classroom and kill those children along with two of their teachers. what you see is what we always see initiative like this, you see politicians unite, they grieve, they are united in their horror, their anger, they pray but then they quickly divide along political lines. president biden and the democratic party want meaningful legislation to stop things at this from happening again and on the other side you have the republican party who say this is about the right to bear arms. this is not about this is about mental health and arming more teachers. and so you end up in the stalemate as america always does whilst families grieve

or training. 18 to carry a rifle without licence ortraining. here's 18 to carry a rifle without licence or training. here's another thing. the annual conference of the nra, the powerful national rifle association, is holding an annual conference this weekend. you will see the texas governor in attendance and that gives you sense ofjust, i guess, how texas is with guns. and the idea of guns here as well. generally speaking the country. us firearms makers produce more than 139 million guns for the commercial market over two decades in 2000 and imported another 71 million. what do americans think about it? the latest poll shows that 53% want stricter gun laws so that gives you a sense of just gun laws so that gives you a sense ofjust how divided the country is on it. and i guess the question is, will this change anything? will the

murder of 19 children change anything? t murder of 19 children change anything?— murder of 19 children change an hint? ., , ., , anything? i apologise for 'umping in. bear with anything? i apologise for 'umping in. bear right at the _ anything? i apologise for 'umping in. bear right at the end _ anything? i apologise forjumping in. bear right at the end of- anything? i apologise forjumping in. bear right at the end of the i in. bear right at the end of the programme. one question is will anything change? americans saying they don't expect it to. most of the afternoon showers will fade away quite quickly this evening and overnight many places were turned drier thanks to a veggie pie pressure, lengthy clear spells, drier thanks to a veggie pie pressure, lengthy clearspells, but the next frontal system will arrive across the far west of northern ireland during the course of the night. you can see the clouds building up their northern ireland. the wind increasing once again and the wind splashing in during the early hours. much of the country will be largely dry with clear spells. a mild night to come across the southern half of the uk. some trivia spots further north and east. you have got low pressure to the north of the uk on thursday. high pressure towards the south. the rain

government restrictions and numbers. and why did night i go to comfort my brother's father as he was dying in a care home was those calls were echoed by members of his own party — including senior tory tobias ellwood. i made my point in my position very clear— i made my point in my position very clear to _ i made my point in my position very clear to the — i made my point in my position very clear to the prime minister. he does not have _ clear to the prime minister. he does not have my— clear to the prime minister. he does not have my support. but a question i not have my support. but a question i humbiy— not have my support. but a question i humbly put to my colleagues is are you willing _ i humbly put to my colleagues is are you willing day in and day out to defend — you willing day in and day out to defend this behaviour publicly? can we continue to govern without distractions given the erosion of the trust — distractions given the erosion of the trust of the british people and can we _ the trust of the british people and can we win — the trust of the british people and can we win the general election on this current — can we win the general election on this current trajectory was mac a question— this current trajectory was mac a question i— this current trajectory was mac a question i place to the prime minister— question i place to the prime minister now. mr speaker, i've been heckled _ minister now. mr speaker, i've been heckled lry— minister now. mr speaker, i've been heckled by my own people, if we cannot _ heckled by my own people, if we cannot work this out, what are we going _ cannot work this out, what are we

and you may recall on one occasion, and you may recall on one occasion, a group asked me to present a calling for the trimester to resign. there are a concern about the terrible war in ukraine. the illegal immigrants crossing the channel and the economy. and the message to the prime minister is to get on with the job. does he agree with the campaign? a party's mps can remove a leader by calling a vote of no confidence. as chris mason says: it is conservative mps. who have borisjohnson's career in their hands. if enough conservative mps want to remove him, they can call for a vote of no confidence in their leader. for that to happen, 5a conservative mps must write letters asking for a vote.

a majority vote would mean that prime did the sucre report changing the minds. because you know boris johnson has his critics and the opposition parties —— sue grey there are those that are very unhappy with boris johnson's are those that are very unhappy with borisjohnson's leadership it boris johnson's leadership it doesn't borisjohnson's leadership it doesn't feel like anything is happened today that is going to tip the balance and lead to a new flood of backbenchers that needs to be a confidence vote. and this is another perspective from the leader of the scottish conservatives, douglas ross. despite what has been uncovered in this report — despite what has been uncovered in this report in the weeks leading up to this, _ this report in the weeks leading up to this, they have also said that the cannot— to this, they have also said that the cannotjust ignore the conflict in ukraine — the cannotjust ignore the conflict in ukraine. we know people disagree with that _ in ukraine. we know people disagree with that and a right to take a different— with that and a right to take a different opinion. in my view is referred — different opinion. in my view is referred as _ different opinion. in my view is referred as recently as yesterday from _ referred as recently as yesterday from president zelensky is we still need _

least, they should apologise. but i don't yet have the names of those who were responsible. i'm joined now by mark serwotka, the head of pcs, a uk union which represents workers at government departments. have any of your union members raise concerns about treatment during the pandemic? yes, they have raised concerns and firstly, i think what we believe is a union representing the staff including the cleaners and security guards of downing street is what the report confirmed is the prime minister lacks any moral authority, any integrity in the regime he operates in downing street we are to type mac told that it's a workplace. he is the most senior person in the culture that exists shows utter contempt notjust for the people of this country who have

suffered so much for the workers he employs. we cleaners who told us that they are followed restrictions many who followed restrictions and stuff like many hats turning up to work to clean up vomit, red wine on the walls, beer bottles and wine bottles stacked up and people sleeping on the couches and they were following the rules. the contempt shown towards them and those were left out of the question these parties taking place saying everything we need to know about our prime minister and the contempt which she holds the people. sang all ofthe which she holds the people. sang all of the behaviour _ which she holds the people. sang all of the behaviour detailed _ which she holds the people. sang all of the behaviour detailed by - which she holds the people. sang all of the behaviour detailed by sue - of the behaviour detailed by sue grey is a poor been condemned and he issues an apology any seeking apologies and colleagues and why are you holding a partially responsible when sue grey is not alleged that he was responsible for the cleaners or

lasting effects but it's not a great place at all for the government and borisjohnson, but it does look like from the initialfigures borisjohnson, but it does look like from the initial figures that there's been a sizeable impact of this report being released today. patrick, we always appreciate you coming on outside source, please tell us when you've done the further research. a snapple carried out. just know that boris johnson research. a snapple carried out. just know that borisjohnson said look, we need to get to sue grey�*s report and people using his phrase, make a judgment. for some people, they were waiting for the sue grey report and they will be making a judgment, but his patrick has been describing, according to their polling, quite if you people may already concluded what they thought about the whole party gates saga before we saw all of sue grey�*s report. that instance are of outside source and thank you for watching if you want to explain her videos, you

this is bbc news. the headlines... the final report into parties at downing street during the national lockdowns finds failures of leadership and judgement. boris johnson apologises but resists calls to resign. the report — by the senior civil servant sue gray — includes new pictures of events at downing street. it says some should not have been allowed to happen — or develop as they did. she has identified a number of failings, some official, some political, and some that i accept are entirely my own, for which i take full responsibility. this report will stand as a monument to the hubris and the arrogance of a government that believed it was one rule for them and another rule for everyone else.
