injerusalem — with thousands of israeli jewish nationalists marching through the old city's muslim quarter. hello and welcome. 78 minutes — that is the precise length of time police are understood to have waited before going into the elementary school in texas to tackle the gunman, who killed 19 children, and two teachers. public anger has been growing since the revelation on friday. officers waited in a hallway as children trapped with the teenage gunman made desperate emergency calls. the usjustice department is to investigate the cause of that delay. president biden met grieving families on a visit to uvalde

earlier — along with survivors and first responders. barbara plett usher reports from the town. this is the hardest visit a president has to make, especially when the victims are so young. mr biden and his wife, jill, joined the mourning of a devastated community, pausing to recognise each of those murdered at this school, 19 children and two teachers. the president draws on his personal history in these moments of public grief because he's lost two children of his own. a bouquet of flowers added to the mound of remembrance that seeks to dampen the horror by honouring the dead. the rampage began when the teenage gunman entered the school through a back door, armed with a high—power rifle. children as young as eight were trapped with him for an hour before security forces finally stormed in. the justice department announced today it would review the police response. mr biden went on to meet privately with the families of victims.

he also attended a church service. as he left, the crowd outside called for action. but this is a difficult political environment. there's a fierce debate about how to stop such attacks. the president wants to tighten gun laws and faces strong partisan opposition. especially in texas. this is, after all, gun country. there are mixed feelings about mr biden�*s visit. i don't know if it can make any difference, actually. i think that as a nation, we'rejust very divided. but i think, you know, that in a time of crisis, it's great for leaders to show unity. we just need to grieve. just come here and give us hope for tomorrow. but don't tell us politically what we need to do. most of all, the families did not want their pain to be drawn into the political disputes. patricia castanon is lost in a fog of grief at the death of her niece, annabelle.

she was a happy, smiley... this is how she was with me. there's no words for me to say. she was just a good person. you know the president is coming to visit. do you think that will help? no. why do you say that? because he can't bring her back. he can't bring her back. he can't bring none of them back. and nobody can. he can't bring them back, and he's struggling to protect others. his biggest obstacle is how to prevent this happening again. earlier, we spoke to us gun law expert robert spitzer about the criticism that the police waited for more than an hour before dealing with the gunman. there is a strategy which says if there is an active shooter, police responders need to go in immediately, however,

if the active shooter stops shooting, stops firing, there is a pause, that might be reason to hold back, to wait for a swat team perhaps or specially trained unit for fear that other people might be injured if they rush in at a moment that is inopportune. that would be the justification. that happened at the pulse nightclub in florida several years ago when there was a long delay before the authorities finally went in, so the problem with the case of the texas school is apparently they shouldn't have waited and the initial instinct that some of the police officers had to go in was countermanded because they got orders not to do that and in retrospect, we don't know, there hasn't been a full investigation yet but it looks like that was a mistake and even the police commissioner said that.

president zelensky has made a rare trip beyond the ukrainian capital, kyiv to visit his troops on the front line in eastern ukraine. he went to the kharkiv region, close to the russian border, an area once again under attack. the president described the situation in some parts — particularly serevodonyetsk as �*indescribably difficult' for the ukrainian army. our correspondent caroline hawley reports. he came to ukraine's second—largest city to be shown the damage inflicted by russian forces in some of the fiercest fighting of the war to talk of reconstruction and to reward the ukrainian soldiers who'd repelled the russians from kharkiv. translation: i'm greatly honoured to be here. - i want to thank each one of you for your great service, for risking your life for our sake, for the sake of our country. glory to ukraine. this was a visit aimed at boosting morale as ukraine suffers losses in the donbas region further east. applause.

president zelensky said the situation facing the army there was "indescribably difficult". with heavy artillery, russian forces are pounding ukrainian positions. all this firepower helping them advance in a war that's killing more and more people every day. nowhere has president putin's war been more devastating than in the southern port of mariupol. these pictures show it before the invasion, and this is what it looks like now. it fell to russian forces earlier this month, and moscow's emissary here has defended their conduct in the city. these are residential areas. these are not legitimate military targets. we have a lot of registered cases when ukrainian artillery was shelling residential areas. i do accept that mariupol is destroyed by fighting. but you won't accept that 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 or a joke or whatever. it's a computer game, and telling me... sir, it's cctv footage. let's see what it is. it's cctv footage... 0k, 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 eastern town of sloviansk, they're preparing to flee as russia advances. caroline hawley, bbc news. now to some breaking news. in the last hour, the military in nepal says it has located the wreckage of a small passenger plane that went missing on sunday in cloudy weather with 22 people on board. the army spokesman posted a photo on social media showing wreckage, with the plane's tail number clearly visible. there's no word on the fate of the passengers. mountainous terrain had hampered the search for the de havilland twin otter aircraft. it had taken off from the tourist town of pokhara for a 20—minute flight when it disappeared. state television said villagers saw an aircraft on fire at the foot of a mountain in a district bordering tibet.

we will bring you any updates as and when we get them on bbc news. in jerusalem, tens of thousands of israeli nationalists have marched, with flags, many entering the old city, through its muslim quarter. palestinians in occupied eastjerusalem see the annual parade as a major provocation. our middle east correspondent tom bateman reports. young israelis sing of their love forjerusalem, to them, their undivided capital. but the songs drown out this city's bitter realities. and the symbols, for some, are more about a show of supremacy than a place to share. "there's no such thing as palestinians", says narya. "there is such a thing asjews and they have neighbours. "if they want to come, they are welcome. but israel was always ours." tens of thousands of religious

nationalists marched into occupied east jerusalem, a massively controversial route, with one of the biggest ever turnouts. and palestinians were moved to make way for the marchers. the palestinians being cleared from this area, they were just sitting in a cafe here, but the border police making it clear it will only be israelis getting anywhere near to here, and it's why this day, in particular, emphasises to palestinians, the profound sense of a lack of rights that they feel they have. we're going to go, thank you. and there were violent confrontations as the marchers made their way through the muslim quarter. a provocation, say palestinians like mohammed, who just came to meet old friends. "the israeli government lets them come down to give us a headache", he tells me.

"they provoke anyone on the street, "they hit." "look." "this is not right." some marchers shouted, "death to arabs", and other racist chants. but there was little visible police response. the biggest fear on days like this is around the most combustible site, al—aqsa mosque compound, known to jews as temple mount. holy to all, jews can visit, 2,500 did, said to be the biggest ever number in a day. and some prayed, breaching sensitive and long—standing arrangements. palestinian militant groups had earlier threatened to act if red lines, as they called them, were crossed here. but it didn't spill over like last year when the day became the final trigger

for an ii—day war. it comes, though, after months of violence and growing concerns the region is on the verge of much more. tom bateman, jerusalem, bbc news. let's get some of the day's other news. european union ambassadors have once again failed to reach an agreement on proposals to ban russian oil imports. they've been struggling for weeks to strike a deal. hungary, which depends on moscow for most of its supplies, has been leading resistance to the measures. a higher level meeting is planned for later on monday. we'll be talking more about this in the business news in 15 minutes. the leftist former rebel, gustavo petro, has come out top in the first round of presidential elections in colombia, and goes through to the final round of voting. mr petro would become the first left—wing president in the history of colombia. his unexpected rival is an independent 77—year—old

he is accused of economic mismanagement over many, many years and the first idea, the big idea really is a constitutional change to d concentrate power from the presidency into parliament so that they can take financial decisions and also bring members of the young parliament of activist, young protesters into the decision—making process in order to fill the government's coffers and regulate the banking sector differently. well, lawyers are sceptical that this may work and protesters have taken sceptical that this may work and protesters have ta ken to the street again as you say this weekend, storming presidential offices or trying to get the gates of the men being pushed back by the police. opposition politicians saying they need new elections to sort this out. the government's response, well, the police have been using water cannons and also teargas to push the protesters back and they can't get a grip after over 50 days of protests now. over 50 days, that anniversary was on saturday, we have had weeks of this because of rising

food prices and acute shortages of fuel as well. how did the country arrive at this point? with all those things you are talking about, make it the worst economic crisis since its independence and as i said a lot of the decisions are being blamed on the government so for example in 2019 they cut taxes losing about $1 billion a year, it was estimated, in 2021, because they were lacking foreign reserves, they surely asked people not to import chemical fertilisers, asked people not to import chemicalfertilisers, and rely chemical fertilisers, and rely on chemicalfertilisers, and rely on domestic fertilisers but that caused a food shortage in the country and so that was a big problem for them. they had to then make the problem worse by getting inaudible because they owe $7 billion worth of foreign loans, they defaulted on at and is $25 billion in debt that they owe by 2026 so all of that is a huge problem, they are gonna get help densely from the imf but if they raise taxes from the g7, from the world bank,

from india and china has to restructure some debt too, they have even bought some russian oil recently but that might not be possible in the future. one ofthe be possible in the future. one of the bright _ be possible in the future. one of the bright spots historically has been terrorism, it is the third—largest source of foreign exchange in the country but with daily power cuts and protest, is anyone actually going to go to the country? 1ng going to go to the country? as ou going to go to the country? is you say in 2018 there was about 5% of the economy but then we had two terrible incidents, the 2019 easter bombings where churches and hotels were attacked, that put tourists off and then there was covid. now, though, there has been a return, about 100,000 tourists came in march, it was after 2018 level so that is some good news but of course those tourist coming to have to worry about security and shortages of supplies. {eek about security and shortages of su lies. a, ~ ., ~ about security and shortages of su lies. ~' ., ~' ,, supplies. 0k mark thank you very much — supplies. ok mark thank you very much for— supplies. 0k mark thank you very much for that _ supplies. 0k mark thank you very much for that update. l the authorities in brazil say the number of people known to have died following torrential rain has risen to at least 56, with more

and the rest of the sport team, goodbye. i'm going to be back with your business news very soon, join me on twitter in the meantime. see you soon. hello. i'm sure it'll be all eyes on the weather forecast this week with the platinum jubilee celebrations just around the corner. the week certainly begins with some heavy showers in the forecast, some spells of sunshine in between, but those showers, driven by this area of low pressure wobbling its way westwards, and that will take up residence across the uk as we head through the next couple of days. it'll be quite a chilly start to the morning across some southern areas, but that's where we'll see the best of the morning sunshine. quite a lot of cloud to start off for scotland and northern ireland with some patchy rain but by the afternoon, we are, essentially, all in the same boat. we'll see some spells of sunshine developing but there will also be some showers, some of which will be heavy and thundery. quite a few showers across parts of southern england, the midlands, east anglia, across this eastern side of england.

maybe not as many showers across parts of wales. northern ireland, turning brighter into the afternoon, sunny spells but still scattered showers, and just 12 degrees for belfast, 11 at best in aberdeen, and these heavy showers across scotland will be quite slow moving, given we will have very light winds. now, through monday night, some of the showers will continue. the area of low pressure just sits on top of us and so, the showers just continue to circulate around, and we will see this band of cloud bringing some slightly more persistent rain, perhaps into the far west of scotland. a bit of mist and murk across parts of scotland as well. quite a chilly start again on tuesday morning. it's another sunshine and showers day for most but we will see this area of more persistent rain dropping its way southwards into parts of northern ireland. it may well be that across wales and the south—west by the afternoon, there will be fewer showers and more in the way of sunshine, and temperatures will nudge upwards a little — 12 to 18 degrees. still some showers around on wednesday but they will increasingly become confined to northern and eastern parts. further west, more in the way of dry weather, some spells of sunshine and again, slightly warmer — 17 to maybe 20 degrees across parts of the south—east. now, as we head into the long weekend, this area of high pressure will try to settle

things down, but this little weather front threatens to bring some showers in from the north—west. this low spinning to the south threatens to throw some showers across the channel islands and into southern counties of england so, certainly, there is the chance of a few showers as we head through the weekend. it should often be dry and where we see some sunshine, it will feel relatively warm.
