this is bbc news, the headlines at 8pm: several people have been killed a shooting at a shopping centre in copenhagen. —— in a shooting. police say a 22—year—old man from denmark has been arrested. six new claims of inappropriate behaviour by former deputy chief whip chris pincher have emerged days after he was suspended as a tory mp after allegations he groped two men. russia says it now controls the whole of the luhansk region in eastern ukraine. officials in turkey say customs have detained a russian cargo ship carrying grain which ukraine says is stolen. the number of people being admitted to hospital with covid will continue to rise, according to the head of the uk health security agency.

good evening. welcome to bbc news. we are beginning this hour with the shooting in the danish capital of copenhagen. several people have been killed in the danish capital copenhagen after a shooting at a shopping centre in the city. a 22—year—old man from denmark has been arrested after chaotic scenes at the fields mall in the east of the city. police say there is no indication that other gunmen were present but police cannot rule out terrorism as the motive of the incident. the chief police inspector told

journalists at a news briefing just a few minutes ago that several people were killed. the motive of the gunman, described by the police as an ethnic dane, you have just heard that they cannot rule out terrorism, but they have not confirmed any motive. those are the latest lines coming from that news conference. booster emil kirchner is a freelance journalist and knows the shopping mall area well. very surprised. denmark is a very peaceful country, we are not used to these sorts of events. the first thing that came to my mind was at the shooting in oslo, the norwegian capitaljust a few the shooting in oslo, the norwegian capital just a few weeks back. the shooting in oslo, the norwegian capitaljust a few weeks back. at this point, we still do not know if this point, we still do not know if this can be categorised as an attack, but that is what comes to mind when this happens. i was very shocked. it is like everyone now checking their phones, calling their

relatives on social media, people living in the area offering shelter or their help driving some of the people who have now been evacuated from the centre to drop them elsewhere. so, yes, everything is still chaotic at this point. it is stressful, i think most danish people are now watching television trying to get a sense of what is exactly happening here. and we hope to talk to our correspondent in copenhagen shortly. the key lines coming from that news conference from police, the news that several people have been killed in the shooting at the fields mall in the shooting at the fields mall in copenhagen. police say they have arrested a 22—year—old danish man in connection with the shooting. we are going to be finding out how the story and many others are covered in tomato�*s front pages. that is at 1030 and then again at 11:30pm.

our guestsjoining me tonight are the parliamentaryjournalist tony grew and the journalist and broadcaster caroline frost. borisjohnson is facing fresh questions about how much he knew when he appointed chris pincher as deputy chief whip in february after a series of fresh allegations about his behaviour emerged. the tamworth mp resigned from the government on thursday after he was accused of groping two men in a private members�* club the night before. mr pincher, who admits that he'd had too much to drink, says he's now seeking professional help. he denies the latest claims, which are made in a number of sunday newspapers. here's our political correspondent damian grammaticas. for borisjohnson, new scrutiny about his decision to appoint chris pincher, one of his most loyal supporters, to the powerful post of deputy chief whip. mr pincher resigned that post after the events here at the carlton club on wednesday, accused of publicly groping two men. he said he had drunk far too much

and embarrassed himself and others. this weekend has brought six more allegations. all are denied by mr pincher. three are that he made similar unwanted advances to fellow mps, one in a bar in parliament, one in his private office. in february, when mr pincher was made whip, one of those mps contacted downing street to relay his concerns. downing street has said that at the time, borisjohnson was not aware of any specific allegations, something repeated by a minister today. so how can you be sure that he didn't know about the allegations? well, i'm saying that i've been informed this morning he did not know about specific allegations, as has been well reported. people who spoke to him on friday and in agreement with the chief whip, the whip was removed from chris pincher, who, by the way, is now under a formal investigation process. and it's important that process is allowed to happen. so i'm still not clear, who has told you that the prime minister, and who has told you with certainty the prime minister didn't know about the allegations?

somebody from the number 10 press office. so the number 10 press office says categorically that he didn't know about them? well, as i say, i've been, as usual, one gets briefed on a wide variety of topics when you come onto a show like this today, and that's what i've been informed. dominic cummings, former aide, now bitter critic of mrjohnson, has weighed in, saying long before appointing mr pincher, mrjohnson had laughingly referred to him as "pincher by name, pincher by nature." asked if that was true, downing street has remained silent. no denial issued. i don't think they've taken these things seriously. i think they've made decisions which they shouldn't have made. i can't believe some of the things that are in the papers today about what the prime minister may have personally been aware of before he made decisions like this. but all of politics suffers. for his part, mr pincher has this weekend said, chris pincher has made clear he does not intend to resign from parliament

but has agreed to stay away while the independent investigation happens. meanwhile, borisjohnson�*sjudgment and the culture he oversees are both once again being questioned. damian grammaticas, bbc news. ukraine's military says its forces have withdrawn from the eastern city of lysychansk after claims that russian troops had gained control. taking the city would mean russia would complete the capture of all the luhansk region — part of the eastern donbass area. meanwhile, russia says it shot down a number of missiles aimed at the city of belgorod on its side of the border with ukraine. ukraine's ambassador to turkey says customs officials have seized a russian cargo ship carrying ukrainian grain. the kremlin has rejected claims of theft, saying russia is exporting goods from territory it controls. russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov said he believes that the uk is trying to find grounds and create conditions for the uk's royal navy to enter the black sea and lead the process of releasing

grainfrom ukraine. translation: this food crisis is being used - for a variety of purposes — not only for propaganda, but to clear ukraine's name and, once again, blame everything on moscow. but if you listen to, for example, borisjohnson and his foreign secretary, they're clearly trying to create conditions to find pretext for the royal navy to infiltrate the black sea and begin sort of leading the entire process of releasing grain from the ports, which have been mined by the ukrainians and which the ukrainians are bound to de—mine. sergei lavrov. the chief executive of the uk health security agency, damejenny harries, has warned that the number of people being admitted to hospital with covid is expected to rise further. the latest uk figures show that infectionsjumped by more than half a million in a week. our health editor hugh pym gave us more detail on dame jenny's comments.

she is acknowledging that there is another wave at a moment and that it is not finished and she is saying if you look at the numbers, she didn't give a timeframe on this, but there could well be more in hospital with covid than there were back in march. that was the previous peak, around 16,500. it's currently around 9000 in hospital now, so it is warning it could be higher because it is fuelled by these new variants of the variant omicron, which spread more rapidly. it has to be said, if you look at hospital numbers, they are not all by any means people who have gone in primarily because of covid — a certain number have other conditions and then tested positive, but it does put more pressure on the nhs, and nhs providers representing trusts in england have said this means there will be a bumpy ride over the coming months, with existing pressure already there on the nhs. damejenny harries also warned that the flu season may come earlier in the autumn as well as another covid wave, so certainly rather a cautionary note from her today.

joining us now is expert in infectious disease management and senior clinical lecturer at university of exeter medical school, dr bharat pankhania. dr pankhania good to see you. sadly we're still talking about this latest strain of covid. i want we know about it and how it compares to other variants? we know about it and how it compares to other variants?— other variants? we are talking about the ba four and _ other variants? we are talking about the ba four and be _ other variants? we are talking about the ba four and be five _ other variants? we are talking about the ba four and be five variants - other variants? we are talking about the ba four and be five variants of. the ba four and be five variants of omicron and what happened in the united states as it started to spread and like a chain reaction, the more cases are generated, it generated more and more and more and became the dominant variant in the states. now similarly, in the united kingdom, it is doing same. the good thing as the vaccines still have a margin of protection against baa and

bas but margin of protection against baa and ba5 but we must not get serially infected because they will be other consequences of getting infected. what do you mean by a margin of protection? when we invented the vaccines, they were invented against the will head back strain and sense that we have had alpha, beta, delta dawn and now baa and ba5 —— they were invented against the wuhan strain. the number of antibodies that we have decreases, the number of effective antibodies against the circulating strain, so it has a number of affected antibodies in circulation. so anyone who is due to get anotherjab, another covid jab, get another jab, another covid jab, will those get anotherjab, another covid jab, will those vaccinations are be treating these latest strains are not? . . . , ., treating these latest strains are not? . . . , . ., treating these latest strains are not? , ., ., . ., not? the vaccines have not changed and therefore _ not? the vaccines have not changed and therefore what _ not? the vaccines have not changed and therefore what the _ not? the vaccines have not changed and therefore what the booster - not? the vaccines have not changed| and therefore what the booster does is it makes more of it. when you

have more of those antibodies, the few that still carry on working are there and then they do theirjob. but i think now because we have had so many variants that drift from wuhan to omicron, we need to reformulate the vaccine and a mirror the vaccine to what is in circulation.— the vaccine to what is in circulation. ., , circulation. so should people feel that if they _ circulation. so should people feel that if they are _ circulation. so should people feel that if they are in _ circulation. so should people feel that if they are in otherwise - circulation. so should people feel that if they are in otherwise good j that if they are in otherwise good health, that they are well protected? or would you like to see people taking some additional precautions in crowded places because of these variants? h0. precautions in crowded places because of these variants? no, we must always _ because of these variants? no, we must always take _ because of these variants? no, we must always take precautions - because of these variants? no, we - must always take precautions because at the other bit i wanted to say is at the other bit i wanted to say is a serial infections can also act as a serial infections can also act as a proto— immune response and you may end up with what we call a long covid syndrome, so we do not want to do that. the best we have got is the vaccines, avoid crowded places, where your mask and, of course, we have the summer holidays now, so if

you're travelling on a crowded air plane, bus, train, etc, please, before you go, buy yourself a good quality ff to be mask and win it on those crowded places thank you very much, dr pankhania. == those crowded places thank you very much, dr pankhania.— much, dr pankhania. -- fh to be mask. the government's spending watchdog is to review borisjohnson�*s pledge to build a0 new hospitals by 2030 to see if it still represents good value for money given spiralling inflation. details of the national audit office review first emerged in a letter to the shadow health secretary, wes streeting. but the department of health and social care insists the plan is on track to deliver a0 new hospitals by 2030. let's return to news that boris johnson is facing questions and how much he knew after appointing chris

pincher as deputy chief with. the allegations have appeared in several newspapers, as well as the allegations which emerged earlier in the week, although he said he had drunk too much. i'm joined now by conservative peer and former editor of the sunday telegraph, baroness patience wheatcroft. i'm so sorry, can i stop you there. i'm so sorry, can i stop you there. i'm not a conservative peer. i left the party before the last election. i set as a crossbencher. i do apologise. _ i set as a crossbencher. i do apologise, baroness, - i set as a crossbencher. i do apologise, baroness, that i i set as a crossbencher. i do apologise, baroness, that we give you the long label —— gave you the wrong label. a number of the sunday papers choosing to focus their headlines on a borisjohnson in all of this. on what he knew, when he knew it and how he has reacted to all of this. how would you have liked to have seen at the prime minister deal with this differently,

youtube channel and their twitter account. they say an investigation is under way. on their twitter account, which has a 362,000 followers, there have been a number of non—army posts which have been retweeted. and on the army's youtube channel, which has 177,000 subscribers, the account name has been changed to that of a global investment firm and has shared a material which relates to cryptocurrency and has even shown images of the billionaire businessman elon musk. so the army have said they are taking this information security breach very seriously indeed. they say they are working to resolve the issue, but that they will not be commenting on any further until the investigation into how this happened is complete. and we know that hackers have ways around even the most sophisticated of security, but clearly that is very embarrassing when you're talking about the council run by the army? talking about the council run by the arm ? , ., ,

the group, which represents uk food and drink manufacturers, said it usually takes between seven and 12 months for producers' costs to reach shop shelves. our business correspondent noor nanji told me more. we know that food prices are going up, we've seen that all around us. now comes a warning that we could still be a long way off the peak, and this warning has come from the food and drink federation. it's their boss, karen bett, and what she's saying is that food price inflation could continue to rise into next year due to soaring costs. now, food inflation, which is the rate at which prices are rising, was already at 6.7% in april, and 8.7% in may, so already rising pretty fast, and we asked her how far she thought they could go. how far it will go really is anyone's guess. it's really hard for me to estimate that. but other organisations, economists, have estimated it's going to go well over 10%,

and i certainly don't have any evidence to counter that. as i say, food price rises have been relentless over the last few months, there really has been no let—up, and all of the input costs at the moment continue to rise. what you see in food and drink is there's usually a seven to 12—month time lag in the prices that manufacturers pay before those price rises are felt on shop shelves. so, if manufacturers are still facing price rises now, it follows that, in seven to 12 months' time, we will still be seeing some food price inflation, albeit we hope that it might have levelled off or started to peak by then. of course, supermarkets are trying promotions, offers, they're trying to think of ways not to pass on all of the costs to consumers but realistically, what are consumers looking at here? well, what she was saying is that manufacturers are seeing rising input costs.

all the manufacturers they speak to talk about things like higher energy, raw materials, labour costs, and the war in ukraine has only pushed prices up further, so things like energy, oil and gas, fertilisers as well, all of that has been going up. but, as she was saying, it takes some time for those higher costs to feed down to the supermarkets and consumers. that is why there is this idea of the time—lag of it hitting consumers later on. other organisations like the institute of grocery distribution, they are predicting food inflation to go up as fast as 15%, so all of this is tough for consumers, particularly those on the lowest incomes. the metropolitan police has said no further action will be taken, at this time, following an allegation of sexual assault against the glasgow north mp patrick grady. officers said they carried out inquiries, including speaking to the alleged victim. mr grady suspended his snp membership as a result of the investigation.

he was previously suspended from parliament for two days after he was found to have made a sexual advance to a teenage member of staff. a 1a—year—old boy has been arrested after a woman said she was raped at a nightclub in manchester. the police believe she and her friends had been offered drugs before the alleged attack on wednesday. the boy, arrested on suspicion of rape, has been bailed as inquiries continue. the nightclub, bloom, has since temporarily closed while the investigation continues. heavy rain and wind is creating a life—threatening emergency situation for residents in australia's biggest city, sydney. thousands have been told to leave their homes in the south—west of the city because of the risk of flash floods and landslides. from sydney, shaimaa khalil reports. another extreme weather event — only a few months since the last one. in the south—western sydney suburb of camden,

home to more than 100,000 people, local shops and a petrol station were inundated. not much else has been spared here. many communities have seen a month's worth of rain in the last two days alone. thousands of residents were ordered to evacuate south—west sydney with torrential rain and damaging winds thrashing the east coast. the wind and rain have been relentless here in sydney and the surrounding areas, with more wet weather expected in the next couple of days across new south wales. this is the start of the school holidays here. many families were getting ready to travel, but the message from the emergency services is that unless you are ordered to evacuate, people should stay home. heavy rains have also caused sydney's main dam to overspill and the bureau of meteorology is warning of more flood risks. we are now facing dangers on multiple fronts — flash flooding, riverine flooding and coastal erosion. this is a life—threatening emergency situation.

experts say the flooding emergency has been worsened by climate change and a la nina weather phenomenon. insurance companies in australia are warning that communities prone to flooding may be forced to relocate, as new figures suggest that floods earlier this year were one of the country's costliest ever natural disasters. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, sydney. around 11 million tonnes of plastic waste flow into the ocean each year, according to the un. a significant amount of that comes from plastic bags. today is international plastic bag free day, a global initiative set up to try to reduce how much plastic we use. the bbc�*s population correspondent stephanie hegarty reports. despite all the noise being made about plastic waste, we are producing more plastic than ever. ——new plastic than ever.

can we really recycle our way out of this mess? only 9% of the plastic the world has ever produced has been recycled. so why is it so little? we have huge issues with collection, a lot of countries don't have a sufficient collection infrastructure, so a lot of these plastics do not get recycled. but let's take germany, which is really good at collecting plastic waste. they pick up about 99% of it. after sorting, less than half of what is collected will get recycled. the rest is either too dirty or it's just too hard to separate. and most of this is incinerated. of the chunk selected for recycling, a third is actually sent abroad. the rich countries have the resources to collect so you don't see litter on the streets like you would see in asia, but they have the resources to hide it or export it to other countries. and it's difficult to track what is happening to it once it's gone. turkey, thailand, vietnam, pakistan, india, hong kong and mexico, they all receive plastic waste from places like europe, the us and japan.

so why is it so hard to recycle? there are seven different kinds of plastic. number one is drink bottles — or pet. one of the easiest types of plastic to recycle. in europe, 60% of pet bottles are collected, but less than one third of them will end up as new bottles. some of the plastic can lose quality during the recycling process. 31% are made into trays like this. one quarter of them are made into fabric or polyester. trays and fabrics are not recycled as often. the economics are to blame here because right now, it's cheaper to make new plastic than to recycle it. even if manufacturers want to make products from recycled plastic, right now, there just isn't enough of it. oil companies are banking on the fact that we'll keep using new plastic.

in the coming decade, plastic production is not going to go down. it's just going to increase. the us is actually at the top of the list, they are planning huge expansion in the petrochemical production over the next decade, and so is china. there are two much more simple ways to avoid plastic waste. that is to reduce and reuse. and it's possible. coca—cola is the world's top plastic polluter according to an audit by break free from plastic. it says it wants to be a leader in finding solutions. and, in brazil, it's been piloting a refillable plastic bottle scheme since 2018. and it says it saves 200 million bottles a year. but a60 million tonnes of new plastic is being produced every year. at this rate, it will be a long time before recycling can catch up to it. now it's time for a look

at the weather with lucy martin. hello there. sunday brought a day of sunny spells and scattered showers. as we go through tonight, we continue to see a feed of showers and a few spells of rain across scotland, northern ireland, northern england and eventually into northern wales into the early hours. to the south of that, though, it's a largely dry picture with patchy cloud and clear spells. temperatures fairly similar to where they've been over the past few nights, sitting between 8—13 celsius. tomorrow, then, a fairly blustery start to the day across scotland, northern ireland, northern england, the winds tending to ease across northern ireland and northern england. a mixture of sunny spells and showers to be found here, although fewer showers than we've seen on sunday. for central, southern england and wales we'll see a band of cloud slip its way south, but sunny spells following on behind, with temperatures at a maximum of 23 celsius. and then a quick glance at the week ahead — temperatures are going to pick up across the board, but particularly in the south. take a look at the temperatures in london towards the weekend — getting up to 27 celsius by sunday.
