much on the family. this is the second mass shooting site he has had to visit in as many weeks and he was in buffalo, new york, after the mass shooting in which ten people were gunned down at a grocery store so his focus is on on trying to share the grief and can solve the family and understand their grief and understand what they are going through now and show solidarity and give the impression that america is there with their moment, but they are angry and furious because it has emerged that there were critical delays between the gunmen entering the school and the police deciding that they would storm the classroom where children were still trapped inside with their dead classmates making a harrowing 911 emergency calls, pleading for the police to come and rescue them. throughout the weekend president _ come and rescue them. throughout the weekend president biden _ come and rescue them. throughout the weekend president biden has _ come and rescue them. throughout the weekend president biden has been - weekend president biden has been talking about trying to reform gun laws and we have heard the debate go

on for so many years now, and yet, all the analysts you talk to say that the chances of any real change are so unlikely. what is it that is blocking this?— are so unlikely. what is it that is blocking this? partly it is because the senate does _ blocking this? partly it is because the senate does not _ blocking this? partly it is because the senate does not have - blocking this? partly it is because the senate does not have a - blocking this? partly it is because the senate does not have a clear| the senate does not have a clear majority and you need 60 votes to pass any meaningful legislation and the democrats will only get 50 at best. and also it is a political hot potato, much like abortion or immigration, and neither side is able to reach any middle ground to reach consensus. the other issue is that while there is a federal response, individual states, that while there is a federal response, individualstates, like texas, have their own regulations governing guns and here in texas they are very loose and lacks which is why an 18—year—old was able to walk into a store and buy an ar 15 rifle not once but twice and to get those local law changes very

difficult because people here support gun rights. this is a rural community, and people here have guns on are comfortable with guns and their children are taught how to use guns at an early age so there is a real conflict, a tension between the desire to stop this thing happening again, so how do you do that without compromising the rights that many people in this community feel need to be protected?— to be protected? thank you, jane o'brien in uvalde. _ joining me live is drjoseph sakran — an american trauma surgeon and gun violence survivor who now advocates for gun reform. thank you forjoining us. explain to us. you are a survivor of gun violence yourself and it really impacted your life in a way for the better and shaped your life in that you became a trauma surgeon because of this. can you explain a bit about that to us?—

doesn't go away in a day or a week or a year, so in addition to dealing with physical impacts we have to understand and comprehensively holistically deal with the physical and emotional trauma that these children have experience.- and emotional trauma that these children have experience. thank you ve much children have experience. thank you very much for— children have experience. thank you very much for taking _ children have experience. thank you very much for taking the _ children have experience. thank you very much for taking the time - children have experience. thank you very much for taking the time to - very much for taking the time to talk to us. tens of thousands of israeli jewish nationalists have marched through muslim areas ofjerusalem for their annualflag parade. the flag march celebrates the capture and annexation of eastjerusalem after the 1967 arab—israeli war. it comes after months of deadly incidents that have strained relations. scuffles broke out earlier in the day. these pictures show a palestinian woman being pepper sprayed by an israeli man. police say they have made more than 20 arrests over what they described as disorderly conduct. 0ur middle east correspondent, yolande knell has been following the march injerusalem.

i've seen thousands of young israelis like these around west jerusalem. they're with their blue—and—white flags. now, the mood isjubilant, it's festive, even, but in other parts of the city, it is very tense indeed. you see lots of israeli police, and the day began with skirmishes around the mosque compound where israeli police say that palestinians threw stones at their office areas and also atjewish visitors who are getting ready to go to the disputed site, which of course is known to gees as temple mount. now, social media videos have been circulating that show some of thejewish visitors inside bowing down to pray, shows them waving israeli flags. that is in breach of long standing rules that govern the site. palestinians i've spoken to have called that an injustice. they found that very provocative. the question is what happens next? because it is one year since the flag march injerusalem was one of the triggers for an 11 day conflict between israel and palestinian militants in gaza.

and people are very worried that there could be a recurrent of that kind of violence. palestinians have already reacted very angrily to announcements from the israeli authorities saying that this year the march can take place on his traditional route going through the damascus state, that is the main entrance to the muslim quarter of jerusalem's old city. there are growing calls for uefa, the governing body of european football, to explain the chaotic scenes before, during, and after last night's champions league final in paris. liverpool football club has called for an urgent investigation into what it called the "unacceptable issues" faced by fans, which led to the match being delayed by over half an hour. 0ur correspondent danjohnson has sent this report. this sort of scene unnerves any football fan. it's not what you would expect of the biggest game in european club football. liverpool supporters say there was indiscriminate tear gassing by heavy—handed french police, who failed to manage

the crowd and get everyone to their seats in time. it was an experience which meant many went home to merseyside today in shock as well as disappointment. a big queue of kids getting crushed together, it was disgusting, really. a young lad who i know, he's 12, his dad posted a message, they were gassed. he's 12. a few older people were getting tear gassed, we got tear gassed. a few kids panicking. we got in, me and my daughter got into the stadium. it was quite intimidating but others did not get in who had tickets. we got there two and a half hours before kick—off and then going through one gate, thousand of us trying to go through one gate that only had one turnstile open. it was just mayhem. they were squashed against the fences, all down the side. people were crying. there was children on parents�* shoulders. we were in tears at what we witnessed. it was just horrific. liverpool fans have told us this was a narrow bottleneck, created

by the police, which stopped them reaching the turnstiles, even though there were here in good time. so the pressure was on here. there were some people climbing the fence, it is not clear if they were actually liverpool fans. but uefa and the french authorities are sticking to their line that these problems were caused by thousands of liverpool supporters turning up here with fake tickets. even the friends and family of liverpool players had trouble getting into the stadium. it was a shambles, really. you know, one of my mates who got a ticket from me was told it was a fake ticket, and i can assure you it was defintely not fake. when you get them from the club and you know the player... to be honest, they werejust making it up at times and clearly panicking and things like that, tear gas getting thrown at people, which is unacceptable. the culture secretary wants an investigation, echoing calls from liverpool's mayor, who was at the match herself. i'm gonna call on liz truss, the foreign secretary,

to write to the french president, macron, and hold uefa to account. the police behaviour was absolutely brutal, and we need some answers. uefa says there will be a review into how this happened and whether the response was proportionate. but whatever was behind it, this is not the impression sports fans were supposed to take away from the city hosting next year's rugby world cup then the olympics in 202a. danjohnson, bbc news, paris. sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's lizzy greenwood hughes. hello, and thanks forjoining us. sergio perez won a dramatic monaco grand prix, which was delayed and then shortened due to heavy rain and crashes. the mexican�*s red bull team outfoxed rivals ferrari allowing perez to move from third to the lead during a wet part of the race. red bull's strategy also vaulted max verstappen up to third, behind ferrari's carlos sainz but crucially ahead of his title rival charles leclerc. it means verstappen extended his

championship lead to nine points. it's a third grand prix vivctory for perez which win means he's the jar roared back to win two sets and his uncle tony and his former coach made sure the match went to five sets with rafael nadal winning the final set 6—3 and sets up a mouthwatering quarterfinal against novak djokovic who swept aside diego schwartzman in straight sense. hindley started with the lead of one minute 25 seconds after taking the pink jersey yesterday and never looked in any trouble and has become the first australian to win the race. �* , ., the first australian to win the race. �*, . , . race. it's a beautifulfeeling, reall .

of the war that the president has ventured to the devastated eastern region — as our correspondent caroline hawley reports. in a gesture of defiance directed at the russians, president zelensky has made a rare trip to visit his troops on the front line, in eastern ukraine. he went to kharkiv region, close to the russian border, an area once again under attack. today, president zelensky visited north—eastern ukraine for the first time since the russian invasion. he was shown the damage inflicted in what's been some of the worst fighting of the war. handing out medals, he thanked soldiers for their service to their country. for risking their lives for all ukrainians, their comrades in the donbas were now facing what he said was an indescribably difficult situation. applause. nowhere has president putin's war been harder than in the port city of mariupol. these pictures show it before the invasion. and this is what it looks like now. but in a bbc interview, moscow's emissary here defended the conduct of russian forces.

these are residential areas. these are not legitimate military targets. we have a lot of registered cases when... this is over a widespread area. i do accept that mariupol is destroyed by fighting. but you won't accept it's the result of russian forces? no, it can be both because this is a fight. as i have said, russians are targeting military infrastructure. collateral damage is possible. the town of bucha has become synonymous with atrocities, but the ambassador dismissed allegations of war crimes here as a fabrication. and what of an incident caught on cctv in which these two soldiers are about to kill two unarmed ukrainians? these men, sir, are walking away from the soldiers. you can see it there. they are shot and they are killed. is this how russia is

conducting this war? i cannot tell whether they are russian soldiers. you have showed me something, probably a piece of a film or a piece of a game orajoke, orwhatever. a computer game, and telling me... sir, it's cctv footage. let's see what it is. it's cctv footage... great. ..from a building, and it has been corroborated. whatever the kremlin says, the ukrainian people know to their cost what to expect from the invading forces, and so, here in the town of sloviansk, they are preparing to flee as russia advances in the east. caroline hawley, bbc news. earlier, i spoke with kira rudyk, ukrainian mp and leader of the political party voice. she explained why she is in the uk and told me about her visit to the world economic forum this week.

it is important that he shows his support and he was leaving the country from the beginning of the war and was a key figure that was supporting and directing the troops. as political leaders that means to not show it to us. he as political leaders that means to not show it to us.— as political leaders that means to not show it to us. he has described it as indescribably _ not show it to us. he has described it as indescribably difficult - not show it to us. he has described it as indescribably difficult for - it as indescribably difficult for the ukrainian army. what is your assessment of how things will go in the east of the country?

and further, and we need a means to protect ourselves. we need a means to push them back. a lot of people are talking about these advanced long—range rocket systems who are calling for from washington in particular. do you think you will get them any time soon? it think you will get them any time soon? , ., ., , ,, ., soon? it is not only russia where it is cominu soon? it is not only russia where it is coming from. — soon? it is not only russia where it is coming from, i _ soon? it is not only russia where it is coming from, i am _ soon? it is not only russia where it is coming from, i am coming - soon? it is not only russia where it is coming from, i am coming here. soon? it is not only russia where it. is coming from, i am coming here to the united kingdom to ask for them as well. but the united kingdom to ask for them as well. �* , ., , the united kingdom to ask for them as well. �* , . , ., ~ as well. but they have been talking about more — as well. but they have been talking about more about _ as well. but they have been talking about more about it _ as well. but they have been talking about more about it in _ as well. but they have been talking| about more about it in washington. it is both the united states and the united kingdom who have those missile systems and we are asking both of our allies to provide them to us. i do believe we will get them soon because right now it is our only good chance to fight the russians back, asap. i only good chance to fight the russians back, asap. i suppose the concern for — russians back, asap. i suppose the concern for you _ russians back, asap. i suppose the concern for you is _ russians back, asap. i suppose the concern for you is that _ russians back, asap. i suppose the concern for you is that the - concern for you is that the international community somehow starts thinking a little less about what is going on ukraine. you have

beenin what is going on ukraine. you have been in davos the other day and you are here in the uk to meet british mps entry must be very keen to keep this at the top of the agenda and the top of everybody�*s mind. that is what you here, isn't it? the top of everybody's mind. that is what you here, isn't it?— what you here, isn't it? there are two places _ what you here, isn't it? there are two places i _ what you here, isn't it? there are two places i see. _ what you here, isn't it? there are two places i see, and _ what you here, isn't it? there are two places i see, and the - what you here, isn't it? there are two places i see, and the first - what you here, isn't it? there are| two places i see, and the first that there will still be delays in providing ukraine with what you need, with the second threat is that the world leaders. taking ukraine as the world leaders. taking ukraine as the new normal. we have seen how quickly the emotion can pass and when the war started in the east of the country in 2014 and we know that we need to seize this opportunity right now and get as many support and have the allies to give us this united push, the push, so we can push russia back because we see what we have seen in davos that it even in the countries that are no way involved in the war. , they already are feeling the results of it. and

when you come to the united kingdom, the first question people ask is is where is the sunflower oil and i can tell you where it is. before the war we were the top three producers of wheat, grains, sunflower oil, tomatoes and corn and which one of the world is ready to give up on that? . ., . , , ., that? the concern must be that the harder the impact _ that? the concern must be that the harder the impact of _ that? the concern must be that the harder the impact of all _ that? the concern must be that the harder the impact of all of - that? the concern must be that the harder the impact of all of this - that? the concern must be that the harder the impact of all of this and | harder the impact of all of this and it continues in countries around the world, the more likely they may be to suggest that ukraine perhaps gives up certain areas of the country in order to stop the war. yes, there is this concern but as a ukrainian politician and a ukrainian i can tell you we are not ready to give up on any territory. people are dying for it and people are living there, so how can we give it up to what? to support the inability of

the the whole world to push away a dictator? the question of the agreements with putin is coming to one particular point. is there a force in the world to make his part of the bargain? and right now we see it is not. everybody is saying, 0k, it is not. everybody is saying, ok, let's not do this or that or not to put putin towards the edge, but where are we if not at the edge right now? let's is it's a point of how how we are going to unite to push him back to win. we know what we are doing in ukraine. 0ur we are doing in ukraine. our strategy is very simple and we will be fighting i'm going to be asking for more support and this is our plan and in davos and anywhere else, i have not heard any other plan or any other strategy that will be workable or sustainable. everybody is saying that we should look at how things are going not provoke putin, but what is plan then?

—— worst economic crisis in scrum through the afternoon, we had quite a few shower clouds develop. this was one of those showers passing over the gower. you can see some rather menacing clouds there on the horizon. looking at the weather picture overnight tonight, we've got more showers to come down from the north, so it will turn quite wet for a time in scotland. some showers for northern england, probably northern ireland by the end of the night. even as the showers move out of the way we look at further showers moving in northern england and if you to northern ireland towards the end of the night and quite chilly air with us end of the night and quite chilly airwith us and end of the night and quite chilly air with us and temperatures overnight between five or seven celsius for a number of you. and we start an unsettled know as this area

warm. wednesday, some showers on the charts mostly across eastern scotland and shout base eastern areas of england but even here the show is not widespread and properly not as heavy and further west, you are looking at a largely dry picture and given a bit more showers on western area starting to warm up and temperatures 17 in glasgow in 19 for cardiff and 20 in the london area. towards the end of the week, signs the weather will continue to sell down with sunny spells and feeling warm with temperatures in the low 20s more widely but there will be more showers across the north west.
