after being invited by president volodymr zelensky. it's seven in the morning in singapore, and 3pm in california — which has suffered one of its worst mass shootings. ten people were killed in a ballroom dance hall as people celebrated the lunar new year. ten others were injured. in the last couple of hours, police have found a body in a van believed to be connected to the gunman. the attack happened in monte—ray park — around seven miles east of los angeles city centre. our correspondent peter bowes sent this report from la. the injured, being taken to hospital, at the scene of another mass shooting.

a ballroom in this predominantly asian community, on the outskirts of los angeles. the police say when officers arrived, people were pouring out onto the street. many were screaming. ten were pronounced dead at the scene, five men and five women. at least ten others were taken to hospital. this is the suspect, described by the police as an asian man, aged between 30 and 50. he fled the scene, but about 1k hours later was believed to be holed up in this white van, surrounded by heavily armed officers, some 20 miles away. we believe to be one we believe to be one of we believe to be one of the we believe to be one of the counties we believe to be one of the counties most in cases. we believe to be one of the counties most heinous cases. this community had been celebrating the lunar new year, full of hope and optimism for the future.

but like so many other american cities before them, they are now mourning the dead from a horrific act of violence. investigators say it's too early to pinpoint a motive for the attack. the street party here was cancelled. it's one of the largest lunar new year celebrations in california, and had been due to continue all weekend. everyone was having fun. and it's a really big festival for them. even though i'm not of asian descent, i've always been celebrating it. this is the deadliest mass shooting in the united states since last may, when 21 people, most of them children, were killed at a school in texas. now, the scourge of gun violence will haunt another community. peter bowes, bbc news, in monterey park. i'm joined now by peter bowes in los angeles. what's the latest — what do we know so far? we are expecting more details of the news conference in about an hour and

a half time and the scene of this terrible shooting late last night and the standoff is now over after police moved in on two white vans and it is unclear what, if anything the police found inside one of those vans, it is thought to be a suspect. reports of the suspect was found deadin reports of the suspect was found dead in one of those white vans but official confirmation of that only this very short statement from officials saying basically that the standoff is over in the neighbourhood is safe. that is the standoff involving these two white man's in the city of torrance —— vans. this incident happened. the issue these pictures of the suspect and they have not named him in the big question of course is what sort of motive could there have been at

work here. but as peter was saying in that report, this is the fifth mass shooting in the united states this year. ten people killed, five women, five men and ten others injured in summer still in critical condition. . ~ injured in summer still in critical condition. ., ~ , ., injured in summer still in critical condition. ., ~ . ., condition. thank you so much for that update _ condition. thank you so much for that update and _ condition. thank you so much for that update and will— condition. thank you so much for that update and will have - condition. thank you so much for that update and will have all - condition. thank you so much for that update and will have all the | that update and will have all the latest as we have that press conference as david mentioned and for more coverage on the shooting, you can visit our website. there are calls in the uk for a parliamentary inquiry into the bbc chairman's role in a loan guarantee — worth several hundred thousand pounds for boris johnson while he was prime minister. richard sharp was in the final stages of the appointment process at the time —

and has said his only involvement was to connect people at the time. the sunday times newspaper reports that the loan facility was being finalised as sharp was being announced as the government's choice. our media editor katie razzall has the details. for two years, richard sharp has been the public face of the bbc. the bbc itself has to be more competitive. he was appointed by then prime minister borisjohnson and the culture secretary. it is that relationship between borisjohnson and richard sharp which is now under scrutiny. the former goldman sachs banker is reported to have helped arrange an £800,000 loan to mrjohnson late in 2020.

this man simon case who was appointed by borisjohnson and introduced him to sam blyth. weeks later mrjohnson recommended mr sharp as his preferred candidate for the 160,00 pounds a year role as bbc chairman. candidates must declare any conflict of interest. mr sharp says there wasn't one as he has just connected the two men. today a cabinet office spokesperson said mr sharp asked simon case for it all. they agreed he could not take part in discussion involving the then prime minister and this was accepted by mr sharp to avoid any conflict or appearance of conflict of interest. i know he is an incredibly accomplished, successful individual, who brings a wealth of experience with him, that is why me was appointed to che man ship of the bbc, but i have not had a chance to discuss any of the issues brought up—to—date but i have no doubt he was appointed on merit. as a long time conservative donor mr sharp's appoint was questioned at the time by mps. i am asking if you think

it is appropriate that you should end up as a massive tory donor, getting a job from a tory cabinet minister when you are friends with two members of the cabinet. i think that is a legitimate question to ask. thank you and then the answer is really on my merits am ian appropriate candidate? will i be able to do a good job? the bbc chairman is a political appointment over which the bbc has no say, but at a time when the bbc is making efforts to put impartiality and transparency at the heart of its's to earn people's trust, this could be damaging more widely, because whatever the truth of what happened, perceptions matter. labour is calling for an investigation, by the parliamentary standards watchdog. it is pretty extraordinary, if someone who is running to be the chairman ends up acting as a broker, to help the prime minister of the day out of whatever financial difficulties he was in. on a surprise visit to ukraine today, borisjohnson greeted president zelensky like an old friend, closer to home his friendship with richard sharp

is being called into question. it's emerged that nadhim zahawi, the chairman of the british conservative party, did pay a penalty in a settlement reached with the tax authorities last year — while he was the chancellor and therefore the minister responsible for hmrc. mr zahawi's tax affairs have continued to be in the spotlight after he admitted there had been a settlement — which is reported to have involved a payment of up to five million pounds. he says the error was �*careless not deliberate'. 0ur political correspondent, helen catt reports from vaccines minister to chancellor, and now the chair of the conservative party. just some of the role is a former businessman nadhim zahawi has held in government. he said he wants to address confusion about his finances, but his explanation of why he had to pay a settlement to the tax office had left key questions unanswered. some in his own party had suggested

he should go further and make all of the details public. get it all out now, whatever you have to do, and clear it up. i genuinely don't believe this is a man who is deceitful in any shape or form. but this goes on and on and the media waits, so i think i would just clean it up. in a statement yesterday, mr zahawi said that hmrc had found he had made "a careless error" and not a deliberate one, and that it related to a disagreement about shares allocated to his father in return for helping him found the polling company yougov in 2000. tonight, his allies did acknowledge that he did have to pay a penalty to hmrc as well as a settlement figure. he has not, though, confirmed how much i though was. earlier, cabinet colleagues said there was a need for openness. well, i don't know any more detail than the detail that he's put out in his statement. in the uk system, people's tax affairs are personal and private. i recognise as politicians there is, quite rightly, and enhanced duty for openness.

nadhim zahawi became borisjohnson�*s chancellor following the resignation of rishi sunak lastjuly. mr zahawi's allies have acknowledged that the tax matter was resolved while he was in thatjob in charge of the country's finances. labour has said his position in the cabinet is untenable and criticised the government more widely. you've got a prime minister who is too weak to do anything about it, and it's going to take an incoming labour government to clean up this mess, drain the swamp, because frankly it stinks. mr zahawi, it is understood, has no intention of resigning from his job as party chair. the pressure for him to reveal the full details of his tax

settlement is unlikely to ease. helen catt, bbc news. let's take a look at some of the stories in the headlines in the uk. energy companies in the uk are being told they could be named and shamed for switching households onto pre payment meters without their agreement. the government is writing to companies amid concerns people are being left without heat or light when they are unable to afford topping up their meters. train passengers hit by disruption after a landslip in southern england can expect to see some services resume on monday. heavy rains caused part of the embankment in the hook area of hampshire to collapse disrupting train services to and from london. teams of engineers have been working all weekend to try to restore the service. buckingham palace has announced some of the events to celebrate king charles's coronation in may. the main ceremony will be held at westminster abbey and is expected women's rights marches are taking place across the united states to mark the 50th anniversary of a case called roe v wade — which made access to abortion a constitutional right across the country. the ruling was overturned last year by the supreme court. today, a variety of different arrangements exist

across individual states. the states you see here marked in dark red are those where abortions are very restricted or completely banned. another 14 states marked in orange have some restrictions on access, and marked in green are the states which are the most protective of a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy. 0ur north america editor, sarah smith, has the latest from washington. using so many of these women march is taking place in the president said he wants to secure the right to choose for every woman in america. the vice president gave a speech in florida alleging that she and the president would do everything to make it possible for them to access abortion but theyjust do not have enough votes in congress to pass a nationwide federal law guaranteed abortion rights. instead, these rules are being made very differently and every individual state in the nation. some of

completely banned this and then there are those who consider themselves to be sanctuary estates for women can come there to have an abortion if they need one. that is what you're saying the battle in the march is taking place in the state capitals of the cities right across america because these are 50 individual fights. america because these are 50 individualfights. two america because these are 50 individual fights. two days ago america because these are 50 individualfights. two days ago here individualfights. two days ago here in washington, there was a huge anti—abortion march for life and the participants their something of a victory lap for them, celebrating roe versus wade being overturned by they to set the fight goes on and they to set the fight goes on and they will not be satisfied until abortion is banned in every single one of america's 50 states. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme... it's feasting time for more

mr hipkins faces a general election in october which polls indicate labour could struggle to win. depite that — he's in an upbeat mood. this is the biggest privilege and the biggest responsibility of my life. i am energised and excited by the challenge that lies ahead. new zealand is the greatest little country in the world and i have dedicated my working life to the service of our people and to making it even better. earlier i spoke to the former new zealand prime minister helen clark. she says she was stunned, but not surprised by jacinda ardern�*s resignation. promising strong and stable leadership. he has been endorsed after a few days after the surprise resignation back in 2017, at the age of 37, she became the youngest head in tethered star power around the world thanks in large part to her

charismatic in—kind approach to leadership. it has been a very different story at home in recent months and opinion polls of showed that her popularity and that of a labour government have been on the slide in various factors of been at play here such as cost—of—living pressures and also concerns about crime. enormous amount of challenges for chris, here's thejob crime. enormous amount of challenges for chris, here's the job of restoring the governments verve in connection with voters by new zealand's economy could well slide into recession well before the election on october the 14th. there will be various formalities before chris symptoms is officially sworn in as new zealand's next prime minister. her head in the labour government promises to be a big

year. ardern is been a very high—profile leader of new zealand and in my opinion, she is doing overall pretty well and so, suddenly, to hear her say that they do not have the gas in the tank for this any more is stunning. the tank for this any more is stunning-— the tank for this any more is stunninu. ,, . , ., ., stunning. since her resignation, many peeple — stunning. since her resignation, many people have _ stunning. since her resignation, many people have been - stunning. since her resignation, many people have been talkingl stunning. since her resignation, - many people have been talking about how female leaders under a lot more scrutiny than male politicians. as a former prime minister yourself, do you agree that? i former prime minister yourself, do you agree that?— you agree that? i most definitely auree you agree that? i most definitely a . ree that you agree that? i most definitely agree that women _ you agree that? i most definitely agree that women leaders - you agree that? i most definitely agree that women leaders to - you agree that? i most definitely l agree that women leaders to come under more scrutiny and a lot more personalised comments. there is still massaging in our societies and different standards are applied to male and female leaders and i think we saw that play out in the way in

also have to remember the first year of the covid—19 response new zealand was considered very successful by new zealanders and ardern�*s government played out measures until vaccines came along. but then, what came into play was the entity vexing sentiment that was fuelled by global anti—vaccination communities and that really fit the negativity admitted more intense. 50. that really fit the negativity admitted more intense. so, the new prime minister _ admitted more intense. so, the new prime minister will _ admitted more intense. so, the new prime minister will be _ admitted more intense. so, the new prime minister will be chris, - admitted more intense. so, the new prime minister will be chris, what i prime minister will be chris, what do you make of him, that he's not as well—known as ardern outside of new zealand stability known as heard of her different prayer to either and her different prayer to either and he was a junior staffer and she was always he was a “unior staffer and she was alwa - ., ., he was a “unior staffer and she was alwa - ., ,, ,., ., ., he was a “unior staffer and she was alwa - ., ,, ., ., , he was a “unior staffer and she was alwa - ., ., ., ,, , always mark someone who is pretty smart in houston _
