people now ruing of course the involvement, the easy availability if you like of firearms in this country, even though california is one state with some of the tightest gun control laws in the country and indeed the sheriff that we heard from just then, robert luna, was asked about and he said, and a quote, the status quo is not working. we need to examine the situation regarding gun—control in this country. he added that he hoped this tragedy doesn't just go added that he hoped this tragedy doesn'tjust go on what he called a long list of other similar tragedies of this kind. david, thank you for now. we can now speak to cynthia choi who's co—executive director of chinese for affirmative action and co—founder of the organisation stop asian american and pacific islander hate. thank you very much for talking to us, i know this will be a difficult time for you and many in the community. what have people been saying to you?

evidence comes for it, we will learn more about what happened. let's talk a bit more about the context that you mentioned there in asian—american hate crimes and crimes directed towards the asian—american community. what is the picture? what forms do these hate crimes usually take and how common are they? usually take and how common are the ? ~ ., usually take and how common are the ? ~ . ., , usually take and how common are the ? ~ . . , usually take and how common are the? . ., , ., they? what we have been able to document over _ they? what we have been able to document over the _ they? what we have been able to document over the almost - they? what we have been able to document over the almost three l document over the almost three years is that there has been a rise in anti—asian racism and discrimination. there has been an outsized focus on interpersonal reforms of hate and discrimination against the community but this isn't anything new and we have been calling for more systemic solutions to the rise in hate which of course is on the rise for many disproportionately impact it communities and that is the work that we have been very focused on, support for

the ins and survivors to focus on prevention that also involves gun violence prevention and ensuring that we do this with all impact it communities.— do this with all impact it communities. when you talk about work— communities. when you talk about work to _ communities. when you talk about work to try _ communities. when you talk about work to try to - communities. when you talk about work to try to prevent| about work to try to prevent hate crimes direct towards the asian—american community, how can that be done? what form does that take? it can that be done? what form does that take?— does that take? it is really important _ does that take? it is really important that _ does that take? it is really important that we - does that take? it is really important that we look - does that take? it is really important that we look at| does that take? it is really - important that we look at root causes including the fact that we have had elected officials including the former president scapegoat and racialised covid and the pandemic and essentially putting our communities in harm's way. we have many examples of elect it officials who continue to use this racialised rhetoric that feeds into a history blaming emigrants, blaming asians for all kinds of melodies. public health crisis, the economy, even national security

concerns. and we believe that that climate has led to the rise in anti—asian racism and it is some thing that we need to continue to lift up. at, to continue to lift up. a difficult time for you so why really appreciate you taking the time to join us, thank you very much. the time to 'oin us, thank you very much._ germany's chancellor, 0laf scholz, is facing growing domestic and international pressure to allow german—built leopard 2 tanks to be sent to ukraine. during a visit to paris to meet president macron, mr scholz said his country would not slacken its support for ukraine as it fights off the russian invasion. despite heavy fighting continuing in eastern ukraine, some civilians continue to return to towns close to the frontline, against the advice of local authorities. lyman in the donbas region was occupied by russian forces last year. 13,000 people are living there in dangerous circumstances. andrew harding reports. in the ruins of liberated

territory here in the donbas, a small town called lyman. it's three months now since the russians were pushed out of here. but they're still close. ukrainian fighterjets, on their way to bomb the front lines 20 kilometres away. only this morning, another russian missile crashed into this apartment block. 73—year—old alexander lives here all alone now, looking after eight abandoned cats. i live seven, the rocket hit five. so you live on seven, the rocket hit the fifth floor? yes. and you're 0k? i'm 0k. that resilience is everywhere in lyman. it's mostly the elderly and poor who have come back, or who have clung on throughout, helped now by free meals driven in daily from safer towns. but amid the ruins, younger

families are also getting by. valeriy has adopted a stray he's named princess diana. he's a railway worker now busy trying to keep his neighbourhood warm. there's no central heating in town — no gas or piped water, either. valeriy�*s wife, era, an accountant, shows me the basement where they've lived for the past nine months. a warren of tiny storerooms. it's onlyjust now that power has finally been restored here. new year's decorations, still in place. some of era's neighbours in the cellar were openly pro—russian. "there were quite a few russian supporters down here," she says, "but they all left with the russian troops when they retreated. "i guess they were scared of what would happen "to them now." in a strange way, the horrors

of the last few months have brought this town closer together. before the war, there were some people here, and elsewhere, who genuinely supported russia. that's not really the case any more. meanwhile, the mayor of lyman is back and battling to restore basic services. but with russian rockets are still doing this kind of damage, he's not sure the town can cope with too many residents right now. "i'm100% sure that the russians won't capture "this town again," says mayor 0leksandr zhuravlyov. "0ur soldiers won't let that happen. "but still, the front lines are just too close." close, and getting louder, as both armies gear up for fresh offensives. andrew harding, bbc news, in lyman, ukraine. let's get some of the day's other news. police in somalia say

despite heavy fighting nearby. women's rights marches have been taking place across the united states to mark the 50th anniversary of the landmark supreme court case roe v wade, which gave women across the country a constitutional right to access abortion services. the ruling was overturned last year by the supreme court. that's led to a mixed picture of what's legal and illegal across individual states. the states here marked in dark red are those where abortions are either heavily restricted or in some cases completely banned. another 1a states, marked in orange, have some restrictions on access. those states marked in green are the states which are the most liberal when it comes to access to abortion. 0ur north america editor, sarah smith, has the latest from washington. you've seen so many of these women's marches taking place

today and also today the president said he wants to secure the right to choose for every woman in america. the vice—president, kamala harris, gave a speech in florida, pledging she and the president would do everything they can to try to make it easier for women to access abortions but there really isn't much they can do, theyjust don't have enough votes in congress to pass a nationwide federal law guaranteeing abortion rights. instead as you say these rules are being made very differently in every individual state in the nation so you have some that have completely banned the procedure while you have other states like california and oregon declaring themselves to be sanctuary states, saying women from elsewhere can come there to have an abortion if they need one so that's why you are seeing the battle

on the marches taking place in state capitals, other cities right across america, because these are actually 50 individualfights. just two days ago here in washington, there was a huge anti—abortion much for life and the participants there, it was something of a victory lap for them, celebrating roe v wade having been overturned but they too said the fight goes on, they won't be satisfied expect satisfied until abortion has been banned in every single one of america's 50 states. joining me now from reno is former nevada state gop chairwoman and republican strategist, amy tarkanian. thank you for being with us. i think i am right in saying more than 200 marchers across four to six days. from someone looking from the outside it is clear that the majority of americans are against this supreme court overturned. that be fair to say? _ supreme court overturned. that be fair to say? it _ supreme court overturned. that be fair to say? it would - supreme court overturned. twat be fair to say? it would be a pretty good observation but i also think you cannot forget the pro—life movement. they have just had their rally and thatis have just had their rally and that is something also that cannot be forgotten and of course the majority of the left leaning media choose to ignore, even showing the fact, that

that takes place. it is pretty mixed and i think the fact that if abortion was to be a right, you should have been passed by congress and then signed by the president. ——it should have been. so now you have legislation created by very left—leaning supreme court at the time where they went 7— nine. i mean, seven out of the nine. i mean, seven out of the nine voted in favour of making abortion legal and the current supreme courtjust do not see it that way and they actually believe there is no support in the text of the structure of the text of the structure of the us constitution and so it was virtually something that was virtually something that was made up in order to have their conclusion, leaning into their conclusion, leaning into their direction, of what they wanted to see play out and that is not really the role of the supreme court.—

is not really the role of the supreme court. let's talk more about the _ supreme court. let's talk more about the tussle _ supreme court. let's talk more about the tussle between - supreme court. let's talk more about the tussle between state| about the tussle between state and federal authorities because of the biden administration says it is doing what it can to support women's access to abortion, disembodied women's rights, including organising abortion peels via the us mail service. is it meddling in a state of affairs? i service. is it meddling in a state of affairs?— service. is it meddling in a state of affairs? i do believe it is meddling _ state of affairs? i do believe it is meddling and _ state of affairs? i do believe it is meddling and we - state of affairs? i do believe it is meddling and we also . state of affairs? i do believe i it is meddling and we also have to understand it is pretty dangerous and not something thatis dangerous and not something that is extremely simple. that is something where you need to have the observation of at least a doctor or make a loved one away in case something goes wrong, just because you are not having a medical procedure done at that time, does not mean everything will go completely smoothly and so currently, we now have, as you mentioned, where it is up to the states to decide how they're going to approach abortion, whether it is going be legal, illegal,

whether it is going to be legal at a certain stage, just like in the mississippi hearing in 2018, it is now up to 15 weeks where you are allowed to have an abortion. it is up to the decision of each state. rae an abortion. it is up to the decision of each state. roe v wade was — decision of each state. roe v wade was in _ decision of each state. roe v wade was in place _ decision of each state. roe v wade was in place coming i decision of each state. roe v i wade was in place coming onto 50 years when that decision was overturned. it looks like it will remain a divisive topic. will it change any time soon? no, and quite honestly, i am pro—life but i do believe we are going to have abortion access probably until the end of time and just like bill clinton, it is a sad, rare and legal, it isn'tjust a matter of when you see life as a viable and the other question is, do you also do it in the case of rape and incest, where do we stand in that scenario. amy tarkanian, thank you very

perfect, the perfect wave, it was a peaking and as soon as it erupted, it was so smooth, so easy to be able to have all these feeling of speed and water moving under my bones. it was crispy. for me, definitely, the feeling to go and have the connection with a wave like that was amazing. glassy conditions, sunny, glassy, all day long, huge. it was perfect weather and it made the perfect trip for me. weather and it made the perfect trip for me— trip for me. absolutely incredible. _ trip for me. absolutely incredible. i _ trip for me. absolutely incredible. i will - trip for me. absolutely incredible. i will stick i trip for me. absolutely i incredible. i will stick with the airwaves rather than the water waves, the airwaves rather than the waterwaves, i the airwaves rather than the water waves, i think. the fantasy sequel avatar: the way of water has become only the sixth film in history to take more than $2 billion in box office receipts around the world. when the movie was released last month, its director, james cameron, said it needed to reach that milestone just to break even. the original avatar film

remains the highest—grossing movie of all time. that is it from us for the time being. much more on the bbc website. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @ rich preston bye— bye bye — bye for bye—bye for now. hello. for some of us, it was a chilly weekend with frost and fog towards the south, milder conditions further north. and we're really keeping with that north—west, south—east split in the weather over the next few days. frost and fog once again for parts of southern and eastern england in particular, but milder, cloudier conditions elsewhere. and that's because we've still got this cold air mass with us. you can see the blue colours through the course of monday into tuesday as well, pushing across really southern and southeastern parts of england, perhaps into south wales, but much milder conditions with the orange colours further north across the uk. so overnight we've seen quite a lot of fog forming, some dense freezing fog patches through parts of eastern england, east anglia, through to the west of london,

for instance, minus seven degrees some of the overnight lows first thing monday morning, but milder and frost free further northwest. so monday then most places rather cloudy pretty much of the day. the best slice of the sunshine will be for parts of lincolnshire down towards the south coast of england as well. but we have got a few freezing fog patches and a bit more cloud working in across the far south—east of england and there'll be more cloud for northern england, northern ireland and scotland, but a bit of brightness around the north coast here, ten or 11 degrees, but you'll struggle to get more than about three or four down towards the southeast. so that contrast continues through monday night into tuesday as well. we've still got mild, cloudy and drizzly conditions in the northwest, clearer skies down towards the south. look at that, minus two, minus three, even in the towns and cities. so again, touch of frost and perhaps some freezing fog patches here and there that could be a little bit slow to clear. but there should be some sunshine breaking through on tuesday, particularly through central and southern england, a little bit more cloud into the far southeast. again, add a bit more cloud once again across the northwest of the uk where temperatures are going to reach 11 degrees

or so despite a few spots of drizzle, but struggling at around three or four down across southeast england. now moving through tuesday night into wednesday, then high pressure dominating. but we've got this weather frontjust sinking its way a little bit further south. so that's a bit of a change, i think during wednesday. some rain for a time clearing out of scotland and northern ireland, pushing into england and wales, but it should also squeeze some of that milder air a bit further south. so we're still seeing temperatures only about five degrees for the likes of london and norwich as well. and, actually, it's not going to be any colder to the north of that cold front. there will be some more sunshine around, but things looking mostly dry through thursday and friday. temperatures eventually turning a bit milder in the south. bye— bye.
