police believe the suspect used a gun owned by his father. it is one of serbia's�*s worst ever mass shootings, the shock is being felt throughout the country and people will be desperate to know why it happened. guy delauney, bbc news. i am joined now byjovana gligorijevic, a serbianjournalist and a member of thejournalists against violence against women�* group. thank you forjoining us here on the programme. this is a heartbreaking, devastating situation. that has really rocked the community. it is really rocked the community. it is racticall really rocked the community. it is practically one — really rocked the community. it is practically one of _ really rocked the community. it 3 practically one of the worst really rocked the community. it 1 practically one of the worst things that has ever happened in our recent history. i have to make a small correction. actually the perpetrator is 13 years old. he will be 1a in july. which is important from a legal point of view. but we can talk more about it later. help us

from the details that are emerging it feels like he really thought this through and there was a plan. yes. he really thought _ through and there was a plan. yes. he really thought it _ through and there was a plan. 1a1 he really thought it through, through and there was a plan. 11:1 he really thought it through, he planned it for a month. we already know that he had this whole map of the school ground floor and a plan of who he would shoot first and this whole order and list of people, pupils actually that he planned to kill. luckily he did not shoot each of those from that list. but the bigger problem is that the police published his identity post they published his identity post they publish this whole list, there are many children are reminded that these are 12 and 13—year—old children, so their names and many of them were actually in the class when them were actually in the class when the shooting happened. so they are very traumatised in the serbian

media, not all of them, but many publish this list with very visible names of minors who were supposed to be, actually that someone planned to kill. and you always have to bear in mind that this is a child. he is also a child which many media practical do not see any and treat him like a monster.— practical do not see any and treat him like a monster. when you think about serbia's _ him like a monster. when you think about serbia's recent _ him like a monster. when you think about serbia's recent history, - him like a monster. when you think about serbia's recent history, it - about serbia's recent history, it does have a violent past, but also very tight gun laws. so the community has not seen anything like this. �* .., community has not seen anything like this. �* .. ., this. and we can never imagine an hinu this. and we can never imagine anything like — this. and we can never imagine anything like this _ this. and we can never imagine anything like this because - this. and we can never imagine anything like this because a - this. and we can never imagine i anything like this because a mass shooting, is not something that happens often. in the past 20 years we had only two mass shootings. and none of them were committed by, not a child but not even by a minor.

those were both adults stop one was motivated by the jealousy of his ex—wife and decided to go on a shoe spree and killed eight people. and the other was committed by a person who was never sentenced because he could not handle the trial due to psychological issues that he had. and she is hospitalised to this day. this other massacre happened ten years ago. and he is still in mental hospital. years ago. and he is still in mental hosital. . .. years ago. and he is still in mental hosital. ., ~ , ., years ago. and he is still in mental hosital. . ~' ,, years ago. and he is still in mental hosital. . ~' . ., hospital. thank you so much for “oininu hospital. thank you so much for joining us _ hospital. thank you so much for joining us here _ hospital. thank you so much for joining us here on _ hospital. thank you so much for joining us here on the _ hospital. thank you so much for. joining us here on the programme. a man is being hunted by police in atlanta in the state of georgia the united states after a shooting took place in a medical office, according to local reports. one person has died and several people are reported to have been injured. bbc�*s gary 0'donoghue

over the weekend, just another case where a man murdered five hunter neighbours because they asked him to stop making noise with his guns —— honduran, allegedly he went into their house and shot five people dead and including a nine—year—old boy. he was found in texas hiding in a laundry room. we have had other shootings in alabama recently, cases of mistaken identity were people get shot because they thought they were somewhere else. it is a problem in the united states has, as we know. it is a problem the us seems to be incapable of solving.— it is a problem the us seems to be incapable of solving. indeed to add to the list you _ incapable of solving. indeed to add to the list you mentioned - incapable of solving. indeed to add to the list you mentioned there, i incapable of solving. indeed to add to the list you mentioned there, in | to the list you mentioned there, in alabama at teenager walks up to someone's door by accident and gets shot. as he said this is something that lawmakers, are struggling to grapple with. that lawmakers, are struggling to grapple with-— that lawmakers, are struggling to uraulewith. ,~ ., ., ,, grapple with. they are not grappling with it. really. — grapple with. they are not grappling with it. really. there _ grapple with. they are not grappling with it. really. there has _ grapple with. they are not grappling with it. really. there has been - grapple with. they are not grappling with it. really. there has been a - with it. really. there has been a little gun legislation passed by the

biden administration, comments that the extent that was a minor victory in terms of registration and that sort of thing. but there are far more guns in america than there are people. they are readily available as essay. lots of places are not just tighten laws but lots of places are loosening laws with concealed carry permits, open carry permits. you get the states where weapons are awarded as prizes and lotteries in tumblers and things like that. it is a country that cannot break its connection with personal firearms. for constitutional reasons in all of that and does not seem to see the connection between the numbers of deaths through guns, many of which are self through suicide. the numbers of deaths and guns, for some

reason the american public, at least a large part of it or significant part of it don't see the connection. just looking at some dramatic images of the paramedics and police blocking off the road. but you also in your report had said to us that police have released a picture of the alleged gunman. we are looking at the image now on our screen. a man with a hoodie who looks like he is in a lift. taste man with a hoodie who looks like he is in a lift. ~ ., ., , is in a lift. we are not sure exactly _ is in a lift. we are not sure exactly when _ is in a lift. we are not sure exactly when this - is in a lift. we are not sure exactly when this was, - is in a lift. we are not sure i exactly when this was, before or after the incident, but you can see there wearing that gray hoodie. difficult to get a clear look at him from that picture. carrying a bag. i think police will be assuming at this stage that he has ditched the bag, may ditched the hoodie. that making it harderfor them to bag, may ditched the hoodie. that making it harder for them to find him. but they are going methodically

through that part of town, building to building. they have set up a big command post. there is a lot of police and other security involved in that process. and they know his identity. they knew who he is. they know his name. we understand they were in the process of speaking to his mother because he may have been attending disappointment his mother. maybe they will be able to get some information from harm where he may be holding up or heading for. 1th information from harm where he may be holding up or heading for.- be holding up or heading for. as you sa that be holding up or heading for. as you say that manhunt _ be holding up or heading for. as you say that manhunt continues - be holding up or heading for. as you say that manhunt continues and i say that manhunt continues and please have more people in the area to shelter in place or stay out of the area. thank you so much for bringing us up to date. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. picking out and offered picking out an outfit for the prom. a mum and daughter well aware ofjust how much

an outfit can set people back. hundreds. you even see them second—hand online for hundreds and when you are struggling to pay bills it is a real... she gasps it is that moment when you look and you think, you want it to be right, so i think this is a really lovely thing to do. people can come along and take away a donated dress, forfree. it is run by charity which identified a desperate need. some children can't go to the prom because they cannot afford it, or because their parents are getting into debt, or i have had phone calls from people who have been harassed by doorstep moneylenders, and all of the awful ways that they get money back, so it is done just to stop that, just to make sure that the prom is inclusive and everybody can go. last year they helped almost 500 people with dresses. this year, they hope to help even more. him there's been a flurry of diplomacy around afghanistan this past week. the un security council condemned the taliban's decision to ban afghan women from working for the united nations. the un secretary—general also held

talks in doha with international envoys to discuss how to deal with the movement which swept to power in august 2021. well one diplomat who has spent time in the afghan capital, kabul this week, meeting women and girls is german mep hannah neumann. i spoke with her. i was iwas an i was an kabulfor the i was an kabul for the last week and i was an kabul for the last week and i have been meeting a number of women eating and media organisation trying to make ends meet with private business or organising support in the educational and health system.— support in the educational and health s stem. ~ ., , . ., health system. what is quite clear for all of them _ health system. what is quite clear for all of them is _ health system. what is quite clear for all of them is the _ health system. what is quite clear for all of them is the restrictions l for all of them is the restrictions imposed by the taliban are life—changing. it's difficult for them to continuejobs, life—changing. it's difficult for them to continue jobs, especially difficult forjournalists them to continue jobs, especially difficult for journalists for example. yet those who decided to stay are really doing every effort possible to continue their work to continue to serve the people of

afghanistan. and they hope that we have their back and also support them financially wherever we can. lt them financially wherever we can. it is world press freedom day today and i know you met with some female afghan journalists. 0ften i know you met with some female afghan journalists. often when i know you met with some female afghanjournalists. often when i i know you met with some female afghan journalists. often when i am in afghanistan also go in and meet with these female journalists, life of them is incredibly difficult. they are censored, controlled, they have fear when they go out on the streets. they are her past, they cannot show their faces on screen. their lives have changed literally overnight. their lives have changed literally overni . ht. their lives have changed literally overniaht. a, , their lives have changed literally overniaht. , ., their lives have changed literally overniaht. ., ., overnight. indeed. many had to leave. there _ overnight. indeed. many had to leave. there is _ overnight. indeed. many had to leave. there is a _ overnight. indeed. many had to leave. there is a figure - overnight. indeed. many had to leave. there is a figure of i overnight. indeed. many had to| leave. there is a figure of about 2800 women who had been working in the media sector before the withdrawal, that number has now decreased to around 500 and only 250 of them really earn a living with working in the media sector. when they describe to me their lives, i was speaking to one tv presenter and she has to run a show with a mask.

so she has to be veiled, she has to wear a facemask and, i guess you can imagine what this means. it is even hard to do yourjob normally. for hard to do your 'ob normally. for hours on end _ hard to do yourjob normally. for hours on end with a mask on their faces. 50 hours on end with a mask on their faces. ., ., hours on end with a mask on their faces-_ for i faces. so i did not get that. for hours on and — faces. so i did not get that. for hours on and they _ faces. so i did not get that. for hours on and they are - faces. so i did not get that. for i hours on and they are presenting with masks on their faces. indeed so they basically _ with masks on their faces. indeed so they basically have _ with masks on their faces. indeed so they basically have to _ with masks on their faces. indeed so they basically have to continue i with masks on their faces. indeed so they basically have to continue to i they basically have to continue to wear the covid masks, the men don't have to but the women too. and we even see some of these women and their programmes for example, they have to —— attempt to criticise the taliban and they are recorded and keptin taliban and they are recorded and kept in prison for several days. that is a german mep who spent some time in kabul afghanistan this past week. a lot of excitement building up here in the uk because this weekend is the coronation of king charles but of course this is a massive security

operation as well. almost 30,000 police officers will take part in the security operation surrounding the coronation this weekend. the security update came after an incident last night when officers arrested a man after items — thought to be shotgun cartridges — were thrown into the grounds of buckingham palace. today the government has been defending new laws designed to curb protests by anti—monarchists. here's our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford. being led away from buckingham palace in handcuffs, the man suspected of throwing shotgun cartridges over the gates and then being found with a lock knife in his bag. he remains in custody. police officers carried out a controlled explosion on his backpack, but said they are not treating the incident as terrorism. it was a reminder of the stakes on saturday when kings, queen's and presidents from around the world or gather for the coronation. hundreds of thousands of people are expected to be in the

crowds. the metropolitan police are describing it as one of the most significant security operations that the force has ever led to come up with more than 29,000 officers deployed at some point over the coronation period —— has ever led, with more than. as during the queen's funeral, there will be armed officers on rooftops, m15 and the police have been identifying terrorists and people with royal fixations who may pose a threat. the work that has gone on between the metropolitan police and other police forces around the united kingdom and of course our intelligence services to make sure we know as much as possible what is going on and where incidents could occur has been a huge effort. as the rehearsal overnight showed, there will be thousands of military personnel involved who will also need protection. police are considering using live facial recognition technology to help

identify known suspects. anti—monarchist groups like recover public had been sent letters warning them of new protest laws that came into force this week and police said only lawful stations would be allowed —— like republic. we had an extremely low tolerance that anything or anyone that comes to district this event and they will find a swift action from us to make sure everyone can carry on— celebrating without interference or interruption. the policing of the coronation is shaping up to be human i | rights nightmare with protesters| being threatened with letters and new laws being rushed - through and the police today confirming they intend to use facial recognition — technology during the policing of the coronation. _ the king was in westminster abbey for a rehearsal of the service today as a painter to put the final touches to the railings outside and the police prepared for

one of their greatest ever security challenges. daniel sandford, bbc news at westminster abbey. you are watching bbc news. today marks world press freedom day and there is no doubt that the world is becoming more dangerous for journalists. the world press freedom index has revealed a shocking slide —— with an unprecedented 31 countries deemed to be in a "very serious situation". journalists across the globe continue to be arrested, detained and killed —— simply for doing theirjobs. the report points to increased aggressiveness from autocratic governments — as well as some considered democratic. ai and disinformation is also a major threat. earlier today i spoke toan award—winning investigative journalist, ana arana — they've just launched a new

eight—part series, "silenced,"— which re—examines the murders of radio broadcasters in miami's little haiti neighbourhood in the early 1990s — it was a collaboration with the committee to protect journalists. the report that idid was i did was on immigrant communities in the us and we found three examples of attacks and murders of journalists both in the vietnamese community and in the us and also the haitian community. and with no federal investigation ever launched. so when they came to me and asked if i wanted to reopen the cases and work with him on a story, i thought about it and i thought, it is the first time i will have a chance to go back in to see whether what i asked for and what i looked at was ever followed up on by the authorities. what we found was that no. the only people who were put in jail in these cases were the actual

shooters who were also members of the haitian community. and no one went after the people who paid for the murders. l went after the people who paid for the murders— the murders. i will 'ust bring you in, wh the murders. i will 'ust bring you an, why do h the murders. i will 'ust bring you in. why do you — the murders. iwilljust bring you in, why do you feel— the murders. i willjust bring you in, why do you feel it was - the murders. i willjust bring you in, why do you feel it was so i in, why do you feel it was so important to tell the story of these radio broadcasters? you important to tell the story of these radio broadcasters?— radio broadcasters? you have 'ust had a fascinating i radio broadcasters? you have 'ust had a fascinating exchange i radio broadcasters? you havejust had a fascinating exchange on i radio broadcasters? you have just i had a fascinating exchange on press freedom _ had a fascinating exchange on press freedom and i think it is easy to see press— freedom and i think it is easy to see press freedom as someone else's problem _ see press freedom as someone else's problem. but here in the us, attacks onjournalists have been on the rise and here _ onjournalists have been on the rise and here is— onjournalists have been on the rise and here is a — onjournalists have been on the rise and here is a story about a group of refugees— and here is a story about a group of refugees who had arrived, left one of the _ refugees who had arrived, left one of the repressive and restrictive press _ of the repressive and restrictive press freedom environments in the world _ press freedom environments in the world which is haiti. believe that as recent — world which is haiti. believe that as recent arrivals into the us they will he _ as recent arrivals into the us they will be protected by the first amendment. and were shot down in cold blood _ amendment. and were shot down in cold blood one by one justice never served _ cold blood one by one justice never served so — cold blood one by one justice never served. so it was a very interesting story— served. so it was a very interesting story about — served. so it was a very interesting story about kids protection in a

for many parts of the country on thursday, it looks like it'll be a dry day with some sunshine at times. there will be a few changes, though, that stronger wind off the north sea brings more cloud into eastern scotland, north—east england and a weather front approaching the south—west, bringing some patchy rain here and increases the cloud in northern ireland as well. so for these areas it may well be a bit cooler than it was today. it'll be cooler in the north—east as well, but with some sunshine elsewhere and lighter winds for the midlands. in the south—east here, it's going to be warmer. temperatures reaching 19 degrees here. but contrast that with temperatures barely getting into double figures in eastern scotland and the north—east of england. we're seeing some rain now coming in from the south—west, not huge amounts of rain. that weather front will continue to push its way northwards overnight into friday morning. that weather front probably getting stuck across scotland through the day and then following on from that to the south, we'll see some sunshine, but showers will develop quite readily. they could be heavy and thundery southern. southernmost parts of england should see an improvement later on in the afternoon. the winds are lighter for many areas, more from the south or south—west. but we've still got a stronger wind

off the north sea in scotland. hence temperatures will be a bit lower here once again on friday, although temperatures should be higher in the north—east of england. for many parts of the uk, temperatures will be around 15 to 17 degrees. the colder air that's in the north—east is going to get pushed away. the wind changes more to the south or south—west, but that means the weather is going to be turning much more unsettled just in time for the coronation weekend, with weather fronts moving up from the south or from the west. so things are looking more changeable. there is some rain in the forecast at the moment. it looks like we'll see rain pushing up from the south on saturday. sunday at the moment, looks like the driest day of the few before we see some heavy showers returning on monday.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. we don't attack putin or moscow. we fight on our own territory. well, we leave it to ukraine to decide how it is going to defend itself and how it's going to try to get back the territory that has been seized from it illegally. it's a potentially very- significant development, if this was indeed a ukrainian attack on the kremlin. i
