live from our studio in singapore. this is bbc news. it's newsday. it's 6am in singapore, and midnight in the danish capital, copenhagen — where police say several people have been killed in a shooting incident in a shopping centre. this happened just a few hours ago now. there are also many injured. the mayor of copenhagen says it's a very serious situation, and one person, a danish man, has been arrested. eyewitnesses have spoken of chaotic scenes after the man opened fire inside the fields shopping mall, the country's biggest shopping cnetre. police have not been able to establish the attacker�*s motives. it's not known whether he was acting alone. there is a heavy police presence across the copenhagen region. our security correspondent

gordon corera reports. chaos on a sunday afternoon, as gunfire erupts inside the fields shopping centre, in copenhagen. some shoppers fled the complex, other tried to find cover, desperately seeking hiding places. translation: we were just | about to order food, and then, we heard shooting, two, three, four shots, so i said to my daughter — who had taken a seat — to lie down, then we ran into a disabled toilet and closed the door. outside, police and emergency services raced to the scene, closing off the shopping centre. members of the public were evacuated. those inside were told to stay and wait for police to come to them, as they secured the building. translation: we can confirm there has been a shooting - with many casualties. we now know there are also several killed. when we arrived there we apprehended a suspect in the immediate vicinity of field's.

he is now in custody, and we are now working on the information we have on him. a concert by the singer harry styles was about to start only a mile from the shooting. police described the man they detained as a 22—year—old dane. they do not believe there were other gunmen. they've not yet said what they believe the man's motive was, but police say they cannot rule out terrorism. that was gordon carera for us with the details of what's happened so far. we can cross live now to adrienne murray, who is in copenhagen for us. thank you so much forjoining us on the programme. i know at this point there is still lots that we don't know, the situation obviously still pretty fluid. what's the latest in terms of the investigation into what's happened?— terms of the investigation into what's happened? well, the police ave a what's happened? well, the police gave a briefing _ what's happened? well, the police gave a briefing earlier— what's happened? well, the police gave a briefing earlier this - gave a briefing earlier this

evening. unfortunately, they said several people had been killed in the mall, many injuries. they said they first received the reports of shooting taking place at 5:30pm in the evening. there was a very heavy police presence on the scene — lots of images of shoppers exiting the shopping centre, eyewitness reports and accounts of them taking cover, hiding in toilets and behind counters. but we understand as they apprehended just one suspect. while they haven't ruled out others, they say there is no reason to believe other people are involved. however this individual is a 22—year—old male, danish individual. there are images now of online footage of police arresting him outside the shopping centre, being surrounded by

several police and being detained. we are looking at some of the images of what presumably happened just in the aftermath of that attack, obviously people extremely frightened. but now it's gone about midnight where you are, the streets looking very empty. what are police saying in terms of how people should be keeping safe this evening? weill. be keeping safe this evening? well, the did be keeping safe this evening? well, they did close _ be keeping safe this evening? well, they did close up — be keeping safe this evening? well, they did close up and _ be keeping safe this evening? well, they did close up and seal— be keeping safe this evening? -ii they did close up and seal the area around the shopping centre shortly after they got word about that shooting, and helped people exit. public transport was shut down in that vicinity. this shopping centre is located just south of coping the microscope and it sounded by office blocks and that concert hall, the world arena —— just south of copenhagen. it's popular with young people who were going to that concert, people were told to avoid that area. there is a big, heavy

police presence, earlier this evening we were hearing lots of helicopters. but central copenhagen is relatively normal. that area wasn't a residential area, but people are being told to avoid it. public transport is now up and running again in that area. people are so shocked _ running again in that area. people are so shocked by _ running again in that area. people are so shocked by what's - running again in that area. people l are so shocked by what's happened, certainly in the pictures, we are seeing a lot of the panic and tragedy unfolding there. just give us a sense of how this compares to other events of this sort in copenhagen, in denmark? well, it's very shocking- _ copenhagen, in denmark? well, it's very shocking- i _ copenhagen, in denmark? well, it's very shocking. i mean, _ copenhagen, in denmark? well, it's very shocking. i mean, mass - very shocking. i mean, mass shootings are unheard of in denmark, this is not something that people see happen. so of course, a lot of people would be very scared and panicked by what happened, and you can see that in the images of people leaving the shopping centre and eyewitness accounts. the last major terror attack was in 2015, and

police have said they haven't ruled that out. they've said they don't know what the motive is, but can't rule out terrorism yet. but mass shootings are quite rare here — there's some gun violence between gangs, but it's not something people see. gun ownership is not something that's common here either, you know, you can get a hunting rifle and a hunting licence. now some of the reports we've heard from eye witnesses have suggested this individual was firing individual shots, they could hear very loud single shots, not that of an automatic weapon. so there has been some speculation this was a hunting rifle that was used, but police have not commented on the type of weapon. but it is deeply shocking — this is a location that would've been full of families in the afternoon, there's lots of shops, restaurants that would've been busy on a late sunday afternoon. that concert was about to take place with 17,000 fans there to watch harry styles. so lots

of people would've been in the area, a lot of confusion and panic. i of people would've been in the area, a lot of confusion and panic.- a lot of confusion and panic. i see. thank you — a lot of confusion and panic. i see. thank you so _ a lot of confusion and panic. i see. thank you so much _ a lot of confusion and panic. i see. thank you so much for— a lot of confusion and panic. i see. thank you so much forjoining - a lot of confusion and panic. i see. thank you so much forjoining us l thank you so much forjoining us with the very latest on the scene there from copenhagen. i'm joined now by maximilian von renteln, who was just outside the mall when the shooting happened. we really appreciate the time you've taken to speak with us today, i can only imagine watching that happen must of been extremely frightening. in the first instance, i hope you and friends that were with you are now safe. , ., ,., and friends that were with you are now safe. , ., _, ., now safe. yes, we are safe now, luckil . now safe. yes, we are safe now, luckily- just _ now safe. yes, we are safe now, luckily. just give _ now safe. yes, we are safe now, luckily. just give us _ now safe. yes, we are safe now, luckily. just give us a _ now safe. yes, we are safe now, luckily. just give us a sense - now safe. yes, we are safe now, luckily. just give us a sense of. luckily. just give us a sense of what you _ luckily. just give us a sense of what you saw. _ luckily. just give us a sense of what you saw, and _ luckily. just give us a sense of what you saw, and what - luckily. just give us a sense of what you saw, and what you l luckily. just give us a sense of. what you saw, and what you are luckily. just give us a sense of- what you saw, and what you are doing in the area when this first took place. 50 in the area when this first took lace. ., , in the area when this first took lace. .,, ., , in the area when this first took lace. ., , ., place. so i was on my way to the sho -|n~ place. so i was on my way to the shopping mall — place. so i was on my way to the shopping mail to _ place. so i was on my way to the shopping mall to get _ place. so i was on my way to the shopping mall to get some - place. so i was on my way to the - shopping mall to get some groceries. and just as i was about to enter the shopping mall, about 5:30pm, i heard

ukraine has confirmed that its forces have withdrawn from the city of lysychansk in eastern ukraine. the city has until now been the last ukrainian stronghold in luhansk, which is a part of the industrial donbas region that russia is focusing its military power on. there are reports of russian fighters in lysychansk�*s city centre, and russia is claiming control over the entire luhansk region. ukraine's military command said that any "continuation of the defence of lysychansk would have lead to fatal consequences" so a decision was made to withdraw. 0ur correspondent sarah rainsford sent this report. the capture of lysychansk was a moment for russian forces to celebrate. but their backdrop was another ukrainian city in ruins. russia has been pushing through the eastern donbas for weeks. blasting ukrainian positions in a slow but deadly advance.

vladimir putin calls this a war of liberation. ukraine says it's obliterated. —— obliteration. its own forces have been defending with everything they've got. but they say they need more, because russia's fire power is overwhelming them. and on day 130 of this war, ukraine had to admit it had lost lysychansk. that means the whole luhansk region, half of the donbas. in his nightly address, volodymyr zelensky confirmed ukrainian troops had withdrawn, for now. translation: we care - about the lives of our soldiers. we can rebuild the walls. we will win back the territory. but people must be taken care of, above all. in kyiv, we met soldiersjust back from the donbas. a businessman, a mechanic, and a medic before the war,

three men who volunteered to fight when putin invaded their country. the russians like tactic to destroy all of the city, all of the village, totally. everyone is afraid to die. everyone is afraid of explosions. they tell me the fight in the east is more brutal we want to protect our families, friends, wives, from terrible scenes that russians give our citizens in mariupol. we cannot let this happen again. so you'd go back to the donbas? we haven't any choice. we must do it. there is now deadly fallout from this war in russia, too. moscow says these blasts are from shooting down ukrainian missiles fired across the border. four civilians were killed. that's nothing like the number dying in ukraine every day but it is a sign that not everything

is going to vladimir putin's plan. sarah rainsford, bbc news, kyiv. let's turn to the uk now — where the british prime minister borisjohnson is facing another week of difficult questions at westminster. this time, he is under pressure to say how much he knew about the past conduct of his deputy chief whip chris pincher, who's now resigned from the government after allegations of sexual misconduct. more allegations have emerged since he resigned. downing street is still insisting that the prime minister hadn't known about the specific concerns regarding mr pincher. 0ur political correspondent damian grammaticas is at westminster with the latest. the prime minister is back here after an eight—day trip aboard. when he left, the conservatives had lost the two by—elections and there were questions about mrjohnson's leadership — he comes back to new questions about those leadership

and in the new revelations this weekend were claims that mr pincher had made unwanted advances on three mps. one of those mps, we now know, went to downing street in february when mrjohnson was considering making mr pincher his deputy chief whip to alert them about his concerns, so the question for mrjohnson is how much did he know, and should he have acted on what he was being told? it's also important to say that mrjohnson's former aide, dominic cummings, said this weekend that long before appointing mr pincher, mrjohnson used to refer to him "as pincher by name, pincher by nature". mr pincher has apologised for what has happened last week, says he is seeking medical attention and hopes to be back in hisjob as an mp. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: we look at the millions of tonnes of plastic waste that's flowing into our oceans every year, and whether plastic recycling is actually effective at reducing it. a special report coming up.

prime ministerjames marapi and his predecessor peter 0'neill. let's get more now from maho laveil, who's an economics lecturer at the university of papua new guinea. thank you so much forjoining us on the programme today. as we were just saying, the polls are now open — any review, what are some of the biggest key for voters?— key for voters? thanks for having me. most key for voters? thanks for having me- most of _ key for voters? thanks for having me. most of png's _ key for voters? thanks for having me. most of png's 118 _ key for voters? thanks for having me. most of png's 118 seats - key for voters? thanks for having me. most of png's118 seats are l me. most of png's 118 seats are rural seats, so a lot of parochial issues tend to dominate or influence voter behaviour. about five of those seats are urban, so national and international issues tend to influence them. but we should expect, because of the national poverty of about 40% of the population below the poverty line, we can expect a lot of those issues

to take precedent. find we can expect a lot of those issues to take precedent.— we can expect a lot of those issues to take precedent. and its typically the case in elections _ to take precedent. and its typically the case in elections all _ to take precedent. and its typically the case in elections all over- to take precedent. and its typically the case in elections all over the i the case in elections all over the world now, it's the bread—and—butter issues that really start to become important for voters as they make these sorts of decisions. butjust looking at the bigger themes around the world right now, things like the cost of living, for instance, and particularly in papua new guinea, there's been vaccine mandates, as well — are people concerned about things like that? well - are people concerned about things like that?— well - are people concerned about things like that? people have been concerned in _ things like that? people have been concerned in the _ things like that? people have been concerned in the past _ things like that? people have been concerned in the past two - things like that? people have been concerned in the past two years . concerned in the past two years leading up to this election. the vaccine mandate has been widely protested against, particularly as firms have been requiring the hiring of people who have been vaccinated, and the vaccination rate is a democrat about 6%. inflation has hit people's pockets, as well. the economic distress from the past two years is weighing on people's mines as they go in and, like you

mentioned, poorservice as they go in and, like you mentioned, poor service delivery — there's a reason why about 55% on average of sitting members tend to lose their seats, and we expect that to happen in this election, as well. briefly want to ask you about the role of women in this election, particularly in parliament — what are you expecting? so particularly in parliament - what are you expecting?— particularly in parliament - what are you expecting? so 'ust based on the numbers, h are you expecting? so 'ust based on the numbers, 4.6%_ are you expecting? so 'ust based on the numbers, 4.696 of— are you expecting? so just based on the numbers, 4.696 of the _ are you expecting? so just based on the numbers, 4.696 of the total - the numbers, 4.6% of the total candidate numbers, 3625 total candidates, 4.6% of those are women, that's lower than 2017's numbers where no women were successful. 0n numbers alone, it looks like things are worse for women. but there are strong women candidates.— are worse for women. but there are strong women candidates. thank you so much for — strong women candidates. thank you so much forjoining _ strong women candidates. thank you so much forjoining us _ strong women candidates. thank you so much forjoining us from - strong women candidates. thank you so much forjoining us from papua i so much forjoining us from papua new guinea. around 11 million tonnes of plastic waste flow into the ocean each year, according to the un. a significant amount of that waste

comes from plastic bags. the world has been marking international plastic bag free day, a global initiative set up to try to reduce how much plastic we use because, campaigners say, other solutions just aren't working. stephanie hegarty finds out how effective it really is. despite all the noise being made about plastic waste, we are producing more 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. 0ne 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's 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 460 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. stephanie hagerty reporting on that story for us. you have been watching newsday. in the last few minutes, following a shooting earlier at a shopping centre in the danish capital copenhagen, in which several people were killed, the country's prime minister says denmark has been hit by a cruel attack. he said, "i want to encourage the danes to stand together and support ech other at this difficult time."

a 22—year—old danish man has been arrested but police say its not clear what his motive was. that's all for now — stay with bbc world news. hello there. the weather story for this upcoming week looks rather benign. we've got high pressure trying to build in slowly from the south—west. that will slowly settle things down for northern and western areas, and we should start to see increasing amounts of sunshine and warmth across southern and eastern parts. for monday, low pressure still to the north of the uk, higher pressure to the south. it's close enough to bring further showery bursts of rain at times, most of it across the north and the west of scotland. a few showers for northern ireland, one or two across north west england and north wales. the band of cloud will sink southwards, where after a sunny start in england and wales, it will turn cloudier for a bit through the afternoon. most places should stay dry across southern and eastern areas. the majority of the showers will be across the north and the west of scotland. temperatures again mid to high teens in the north, could see the low 20s in the south

east. so, for wimbledon, it'll be a sunny start. could see a bit of cloud tending to push down from the north west by around lunchtime, but i think it should stay dry through the day and fairly warm, 21—22 degrees with a light north—westerly breeze. through monday night, it's dry for most with clear spells. a bit more cloud pushing into northern ireland, across the irish sea, into western england and wales. lows of 9—12 celsius. tuesday itself, then, more cloud around for northern ireland, in towards parts of england and wales, and then a weather front will arrive later across western scotland to bring outbreaks of rain here. will stay quite breezy across the far north of scotland. elsewhere, lighter winds, variable cloud, some sunshine. again, top temperature on 22, maybe 23 degrees, mid to high teens further north. could see this feature bring some wetter weather to the northern half of the country as we head into wednesday. it'll be quite windy as well across scotland. i think most of the rain slowly peters out through the day, just a few showers affecting western scotland, maybe northern ireland.

but for england and wales, variable cloud, some spells of sunshine and a slightly warmer, muggier air mass. there could be highs of 24 degrees in the south east, the high teens further north. now, as we move towards the end of the week, although we could see further rain at times on thursday in the north, by friday, this area of high pressure will exert its force across the country. so, it should turn drier for all areas with some sunny spells. the best of the sunshine across southern and eastern areas. will actually turn quite warm through the weekend here. always a bit more cloud, though, in the north and the west.

this is bbc news. the headlines — danish police say several people have been killed in a shooting incident in a shopping centre in the capital copenhagen. there are also many injured. they have arrested one person, an ethnic danish man. the ukrainian president, volodymyrzelensky, has acknowledged his forces have retreated from lysychansk, ceding control of the whole of the luhansk region to russia. ukraine's military said the decision was made in order to save its soldiers' lives. ukraine's ambassador to turkey says local customs officials have seized a russian cargo ship carrying ukrainian grain. ukraine's prosecutor—general asked ankara to detain the zhibek zholy, anchored off a turkish port, east of istanbul. kyiv is hoping forensic analysis
