company this hour. police in texas say it was the wrong decision to delay entering the classroom in a school in the city of uvalde, where 21 people were killed by a gunman on tuesday. salvador ramos barricaded himself inside the room, shooting 19 children and two teachers. it took 53 minutes for armed police to eventually go in. as the local people come to terms with tragedy, grief is turning into anger. here's our north america editor, sarah smith. terrified students were rescued from the school whilst the gunman was still in one of the classrooms. the children trapped inside were desperately calling 911 for help. one young girl called back five times telling the operator, one young girl called back four times, telling the operator, some of the student are still alive,

and pleading, "please send the police now." authorities now have to explain why there was not a much faster response. we're here to report the facts as we know them now. not to defend what was done or the actions taken. it took well over an hour before the gunman was shot. at 11:33am, he entered the school and started shooting, firing at least 100 rounds. at 11:35am, the first police officers entered the school. two minutes later, more shots were fired. by 12:03pm, there were up to 19 officers in the hallway outside the classroom. they not try to enter. at 12:15pm, the border control tactical team started to arrive, tactical team started to arrive. minutes later, the gunman fires again. it is not until 12:50pm when the keys are found to open the classroom door and the gunman is shot dead. the police knew there were children alive trapped inside the classroom, but waited over an hour before going on.

over an hour before going in. with the benefit of hindsight, where i'm sitting now, of course it wasn't the right decision, it was the wrong decision. there is no excuse for that. but again, i wasn't there. we believe there should have been an entry as soon as. i'm just telling you what i know. when there's an active shooter, the rules change. protesters are out in force in houston because the powerful pro—gun lobby, the nra, are hosting a huge convention here today less than 300 miles from uvalde. the elementary school massacre has not stopped them, not even briefly, from passionately defending their right to own weapons. protesters outside our demanding new laws to restrict ownership. protesters outside are demanding new laws to restrict ownership. do you understand why people are now calling for tighter gun control? i can understand it. there's a lot of evil people out there. i think we need to control crime. if evil people didn't have access to semi—automatic weapons, they wouldn't be able to conduct massacres inside schools. that's one way to at it.

what's another way? control crime. if you have personnel. who want to be trained, they can be trained in weapons safety, they can be armed, - then you will restrict the access of any crazy nut that l decides to come in. it's not the weapon, _ it's the nut that has the weapon. it's because the nut has the weapon which gives them the ability to go and kill the people. but why don't you i protect the schools? you say the schools are gun free. so are your churches. how many church shootings have we had because they're - supposedly gun—free? children, some of them the same age as the children killed in uvalde, say they want to feel safe in their schools. but protests like this won't persuade the gun lobby to agree to any changes in the laws governing gun ownership. sarah smith, bbc news, houston, texas.

president. it's phrased as the right to bear arms as part of a militia, but it's effectively interpreted for many as an argument for the individual to bear arms to protect themselves. that is becoming increasingly a matter of contention between left and right. it's become a highly politcised issue alongside many others. president trump saying some remarks have been briefed, the existence of evil in our world is not a reason to disarm law—abiding citizens. he said the existence of evil is one of the very best reasons to arm law—abiding citizens. if teachers are trained, should be able to have the legal right to discreetly carry guns on their person. there's an issue about what's called carry and conceal, which is legally to in different states. his argument is they should

be able to carry a concealed weapon in order to protect themselves and school communities. let's cross to our correspondent in los angeles, david willis. he's been monitoring all of the events of today. how is all this playing out across the united states? , ., , , ., playing out across the united states? , ., , , ., states? just to bring you up to seed on states? just to bring you up to speed on donald _ states? just to bring you up to speed on donald trump, - states? just to bring you up to l speed on donald trump, donald states? just to bring you up to - speed on donald trump, donald trump took the stage about 20 minutes ago at that gathering of the nra in houston, texas, and he fairly early on called for a minute's silence while he read through the names of the people who were killed in that massacre, not farfrom houston, earlier this week. president trump, former president trump, blamed the attack on what he called an out—of—control lunatic, and he accused democrats and president biden of attempting to politicise the whole issue of gun control by calling for tighter gun control

laws. he said the democrats' red and divisive and wrong —— rhetoric, and tighter gun control laws in this country would achieve absolutely nothing. to answer your question, there is a considerable majority of people in this country that favour tighter gun control laws, up to 90% in some holes. that means what's going on in houston over the last couple of days, this gathering of the nra, is representative of a fairly small minority —— of some polls. but they are an extremely well—financed minority, and therefore, they are extremely powerful. i therefore, they are extremely owerful. , , ., , powerful. i suppose the question is also what kind _ powerful. i suppose the question is also what kind of— powerful. i suppose the question is also what kind of controls - powerful. i suppose the question is also what kind of controls and - powerful. i suppose the question is also what kind of controls and the i also what kind of controls and the extent of those controls, and that is presumably still an area where there is quite a lot of debate. how much you restrict and what criteria you use at the moment. how easy is

it for someone to acquire a gun? well, extremely easy. of course it depends state by state. texas is one state where it is very easy. you really don't have to present very much by way of background, and that's what the democrats want to tighten. one of the things they want to clamp down on. they want universal background checks for gun sales in this country. those laws of varying state—by—state, and gun shows here, you don't have to present any means of identification. and they want a ban on assault weapons of the kind that are used in some of these recent attacks. but the republican point on this is very much that this is a lack of law enforcement problem, lack of mental health checks problem and not a problem about the availability of

guns. problem about the availability of nuns. problem about the availability of t uns, ~ , problem about the availability of runs. ~ , ., 4' ,., problem about the availability of runs. ~ , ., ~' guns. david willis, thank you so much. in the uk, a conservative mp has quit his home office role over the partygate investigation saying he was "shocked and appalled by what's been going on". paul holmes said he felt "deeply uncomfortable" with the findings of sue gray's inquiry into lockdown parties. our political correspondent alex forsyth describes the mood amongst mps at the moment. a lot of mps said they were waiting for that sue gray report before they made a verdict on the prime minister. we're hearing from some more. three today. i minute serial aide who quit hisjob in the home office because of what he called a toxic culture, a senior conservative backbencher who called on the prime minister to burn and another one who said she lost confidence in him. —— to resign. it

shows the real discontent. a minister said tonight the prime minister's in yellow card tellers terry. the government published new guidelines that govern the behaviours of ministers —— yellow card territory. they say if a minister breaches the code and a minor way, they may not have to quit. however, it doesn't say if a minister knowingly misleads parliament —— it does say, they will be expected to resign. that matters because that's what the prime minister's facing. this change has prompted angerfrom minister's facing. this change has prompted anger from opposition parties in particular, who say it still gives the prime minister far too much say over what is and isn't acceptable when it comes to behaviours in public life. this is important. this really matter right now because it's about the standards of those who go over our country and they are under real scrutiny right now. alex forsyth reporting from

if thejury rejected all her evidence and decided every allegation of abuse was a lie, then what sort of message was that for other victims of domestic violence? the case has now gone to the jury, who will resume deliberations on tuesday. david sillito reports now from fairfax virginia. cheering. we love you, johnny! it is now finally coming to an end, and johnny depp's welcome for today's closing arguments was more than enthusiastic. and it's notjust the fans. this courtroom drama has for millions become daily viewing, and it's clear that from the very beginning, it isjohnny depp who is winning the global pr battle. i believe johnny depp.

objections. they were so many objections. they were so many objections that the amber heard team could have raised and chose not to. we don't know if that was strategic, but it did make it seem as though johnny depp's team was much more aggressive in their representation. michelle thomas, it will be interesting to see what the jury does and we you won't find out before tuesday. have a great weekend and we will perhaps talk to you next week. and you very much.— and we will perhaps talk to you next week. and you very much. thank you. now to the — horn of africa. the united nations has warned that somalia is suffering its worst drought in a0 years. the crisis, fuelled by a lack of seasonal rains, has left more than 6 million people vulnerable. many families are being forced to migrate from their homes in search of water and food. our correspondent catherine byaruhanga has more from southern somalia. the mass movement of people across somalia. grandparents, children, neighbours, leaving their homes.

leaving their homes, carrying all they have because their land has become hostile. this man and his family walked 300 kilometres to get to this camp in southern somalia, but some were left behind. translation: i'm feeling sad because the other - people we left back there, i'm worried about their survival. where are the children? our children are suffering. there are children we left on the road. and some children do not survive the journey to get help. this child, who was three years old, was buried here. she died shortly after arriving at the camp. she was malnourished and suffering from measles and hepatitis. her mother and grandmother come here to visit her grave. translation: she suffered a lot the night before she died -

and by the morning, she was gone. another grave is being dug for a little girl who we understand died from measles last night. the people here tell us she was also malnourished. most children won't die because they're simply hungry. itjust means that their bodies are too weak to fight off infections that they could survive. every bed on this specialist ward is taken, so there's no space for this baby, carried in by her mother. they will have to wait until a bed is free. translation: if we could cultivate our farms, we could have _ eaten our own food and stored some of it, but now where _ can we get food? somalia needs aid to get through this drought, but international prices are already going up. the war in ukraine is the latest

shock to global supplies, and the fact that the world's attention and donor funding are focused on a war thousands of kilometres away, many warn the crisis affecting somalia and its neighbours is being forgotten. resources are really, really small. 15% of the somalia appeal has been funded. needs are increasing every day so i think there's a lot of concern, that we might be heading to a risk of famine coming soon and when the needs grow, unless we get the money now it's going to be extremely difficult. the focus is now on keeping everyone, especially the youngest, alive. catherine byaruhanga, bbc news, doolow, in southern somalia. just before he go, congratulations to the winner of the international booker prize for her novel tomb of

sand. more news online. bye—bye. hello there. it was a warm and sunny day across the southern half of britain from friday and we saw temperatures pretty widely across the south and south—east reach around 21 degrees. now, we're not going to see temperatures that high for quite a few days now, certainly into the weekend things are set to certainly into the weekend, things are set to turn cooler as we start to pick up a northerly breeze, we could even see a few showers as well. now, many places will be dry on saturday thanks to high pressure. as this area of high pressure continues to push against iceland, it will open the floodgates to this northerly wind, which is coming down from the arctic. so, for saturday, we start dry, on the cool side, they'll be plenty of sunshine around but into the afternoon, clouds will develop, most across northern and eastern areas and we could see the odd shower here. northern scotland, down parts of eastern england could see the odd shower, too, but further south and

west you are, the best of the sunshine and the best temperatures. we could see 19 or 20 degrees in south wales. but quite cool across north sea coast, north sea coasts, especially with that on—shore northerly breeze. now, through saturday night, most of the showers fade away, they could still be a few pushing into northern and eastern scotland, it does remain breezy. elsewhere remain light, the winds will be light and the clearest guys with it all the cool night to come, i think, a range of around five 5—8 degrees typically. sunday is looking cooler, we could see why, the blue hue extended its way southwards around this area of high pressure will be pushing towards iceland. it's going to feel quite disappointingly cool across northern and eastern parts of the country throughout sunday. more cloud around generally across the country and anywhere could catch a shower. they will be sunny spells in between but quite limited, i think a lot of places holding onto the cloud. it's going to be breezy in the north and east, which willjust make it feel even chillier, but lighter winds across the southwest.

was up it's it's here where we will see the light is temperatures again, 15, 16 , disappointing for the time of year across northern and eastern scotland and eastern parts of england. into monday we could see quite a bit of into monday, we could see quite a bit of cloud around generally, we got a shallow area of low pressure across the uk, but there will be barely any wind, so any showers that develop will be pretty slow moving. sunshine will be quite limited, so that will i think all the cool side, 11 to 1a or 15 degrees in the south. as we move into tuesday and wednesday, it's a similar sort of story with a slack air flow across the uk. i think most of the showers will tend to be across more northern and western areas through tuesday and wednesday, perhaps turning a bit drier and warmer in the south.
