opened fire inside the fields shopping mall, the country's biggest shopping centre. 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 “ust about to order food, i 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. adrienne murrary is our correspondent in copenhagen — she gave me this update in the last hour. 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. but this shopping centre is located just south of copenhagen. it's an area surrounded by office blocks and that concert hall, the world arena — it's popular with shoppers, family, young people who were going to that concert. and people were told to avoid the area. there was a big, heavy police presence — in fact, earlier this evening we were hearing lots of helicopters. but central copenhagen is relatively normal. that area wasn't a residential area, but of course, people were being told to avoid it. public transport though is now up and running again in that area. adrienne, people are so shocked by what's happened, certainly in the pictures that we're seeing showing a lot of that 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, 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 will be very scared and panicked by what happened — and you can see that in the images of people leaving the shopping centre and all those eyewitness accounts. now denmark has been subject to terrorism in the past, but 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, or shootings are quite rare here — there's some gun violence between gangs, but it's not something people see. and gun ownership is not something that's common here either, you know, you can get a hunting rifle or a hunting licence. now some of the reports we've heard from eyewitnesses 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, you know, there's lots of shops, restaurants would've been busy on a late sunday afternoon. and also, 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, so a lot of confusion. maximilian von renteln was in the area as the incident took place — he told us what he saw. 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 several shots. at the time i didn't think that those shots were actual gunshots because it's not something that you would imagine in a country like denmark. and momentarily after, there were people running out screaming, crying — and that's when it hit me that something serious was actually happening. so, itook and ran, took the first bus i could find. people were cramming inside there. somewhere along the way, we were driving and the police came and stopped the bus in the middle of the road, and came

in with automatic weapons and told everyone to put their hands up. and they headed for the back of the bus. and just to say, max, i believe we are showing now the pictures you took while you were on that bus. just give us a sense of what the mood was like when you were on there. first of all, we didn't know what was happening. everyone was in shock. there were kids on board. wejust all got scared and put our hands up, and didn't really know what to do, and the policeman went to the back of the bus to search for something in the bag of a man who was also on board the bus. so we were all shocked, didn't know how to react.

and bbc news online is running a live page on this story — where the latest news lines and photos and videos are posted — you can see there the police update we've reported in the last few minutes — three killed and three wounded in the attack. there's also a breakdown of everything we know so far. that's on the bbc news website, or on the bbc news app. in other top stories for you today — 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 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. 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 we want to protect our families, friends, wives, vladimir putin's plan. sarah rainsford, bbc news, kyiv. russia has blamed ukraine for the explosions which reportedly killed four people in the city of belgorod, which lies near the border with ukraine. the accusation has been dismissed by ukraine. belgorod is a russian city located north of kharkiv, ukraine's second city, and has been attacked on several occasions since the russian invasion started in february. 0ur russia editor steve rosenberg is in belgorod, and explained how the security situation there has significantly deteriorated.

one of the justifications vladimir putin came up with when he launched with a "special military operation," as he calls it, in ukraine, was the need to protect russians, to keep russians safe. but the reality is that the security situation here in belgorod and other russian regions close to ukraine is worse than it was in february. now, will vladimir putin throw up his hands and say, "i admit it, i was wrong, this invasion has not made the lives of my people safer" — of course he won't. so, we see the russian authorities blaming ukraine and the west — in fact, the russian foreign ministry today accused of the west of having encouraged ukraine to attack belgorod, and warned that if there were more provocations, then those responsible would pay the price. and finally, one key point — as long as the kremlin controls television in the media, it controls the messaging. and the message it's putting to the domestic audience here is, "it's the west

to blame, it's nato to blame, it's ukraine to blame" — it's anyone else except the kremlin. ukraine's ambassador to turkey says local customs officials have seized a russian cargo ship carrying what it says is plundered ukrainian grain. earlier, ukraine's prosecutor—general asked ankara to detain the ship, currently anchored off a turkish port, east of istanbul. the kremlin says it's not theft — but rather export of goods from territory it controls. kyiv is hoping forensic analysis will prove the grain has been plundered. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: is recycling doing any good? we take a look at the millions of tonnes of plastic waste flowing into our oceans — and try to find an answer.

this is newsday on the bbc. i'm karishma vaswani in singapore. 0ur headlines... in denmark, at least three people are killed in a shooting at a shopping centre in the capital copenhagen. police say a 22—year—old danish man has been charged with manslaughter and will appear in court on monday. turning to the uk now — there's been a warning that the number of people being admitted to hospital with covid is expected to rise. that's according to the chief executive of the uk health security agency. the latest uk figures show that infectionsjumped by more than half a million in a week. 0ur health editor hugh pym gave us more detail on this. let's look back at the trend for community infections charted by the weekly office for national statistics survey. this suggests that 2.3 million people in the uk had the virus

in the week to 2a june, compared with nearly five million at the end of march, when there was a surge driven by a variant of 0micron ba.2. but the level�*s rising fast thanks to new variants, and today, we learned what health officials think might happen in the weeks ahead. it doesn't look as though that wave has finished yet, so we would anticipate that hospital cases will rise. and it's possible, quite likely, that they will actually peak over the previous ba.2 wave~ — so, here are those covid hospital numbers. the most up—to—date figures are for england. there are now over 9,300 patients in hospitals with covid, though some are there because of another health issue. we're now being warned this could go up above the 16,600 seen in the spring. nhs providers representing trusts in england said they were in for a bumpy ride in the next few months, and the latest message was concerning. damejenny harries also said the flu season may come earlier than usual in the autumn,

possibly coinciding with another covid wave. she didn't call for tougher guidelines and said people should go about their normal lives, but in a precautionary way. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. at least six people have died after a section of glacier fell onto a group of mountaineers in the italian alps. eight others were injured in the incident on the slopes of marmolada in the dolomites. the area has seen unusually hot weather in recent days. local officials say around 15 hikers were in the area at the time, and there are fears the death toll may rise. tens of thousands of people have been told to leave their homes in sydney following torrential rain and flash—flooding in australia's largest city. up to 35 centimetres of rain have hit certain areas. the emergency services minister for new south wales says the situation is "life—threatening".

thejordanian prime minister has announced the dismissal of several officials at aqaba port after an investigation into a gas leak found negligence and deficiencies in safety protocols. 13 people were killed and more than 260 injured following an escape of chlorine at the facility last week. 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 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 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.

let's turn to sport and to day seven of wimbledon. top seed novak djokovic raised his level to put an end to the fairy tale run of dutch wild card tim van rijthoven during a battling 6—2, 4—6, 6—1, 6—2 victory on sunday. chetan pathak from bbc sport has been at the tournament and rounds up the rest of the news on day seven. the world number two, 0ns jabeur, remains the favourite in the women's draw after another battling display, winning in straight sets over elise mertens. jabeur beating the 24th seed, who'd knocked at the former champion angelique kerber. jabeur, though, not to be stopped this time, trying to make history. the first woman from north africa and the arab world to reach number two in the world rankings. can she win her first grand slam? well, she's into a second consecutive quarterfinal here at the all england club. and next up for her will be the czech marie bouzkova. the 23—year—old beating caroline garcia in straight sets.

we've got an all—german quarterfinal to look forward to, as well. tatjana maria, one of the stories of the day, knocking outjelena 0stapenko, the former french open champion. 0stapenko had two match—points, but maria saves them and ended up winning the match in three. she's going to play her german compatriotjule niemeier, the world number 97, beating the british number four heather watson. in the men's draw, we had an absolute cracker between future of men's tennis, jannik sinner, and carlos alcaraz. the italian tenth—seed coming through this one in the end in four sets. alcaraz battling hard. both of these vastly inexperienced players on grass, but sinner getting the job done with a famous win for him in his grand slam career. in the same half of the draw, belgium's david goffin got through five brutal sets against the american frances tiafoe. goffin�*s reached a quarterfinal here before.

now in the last eight, he's going to put the british number one cameron norrie, the number nine seed here at the all england club. never reached a second week of a grand slam until now. he's knocked out tommy paul in straight sets, the american, his close friend and training partner. norrie too good on the day. and on monday, the fourth—round matches continue, when we're going to see rafael nadal, simona halep, and before them, nick kyrgios to open play on centre court. you have been watching newsday. a reminder of the latest from copenhagen — where police say say three people have been killed and three injured following a shooting at a shopping centre in the danish capital. a 22—year—old suspect has been charged with manslaughter — police say they are still trying to establish a motive. 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 2a 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 drierfor 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.
