thousands of people at the scene. i think it was really important that they took that into account, when making their decisions. luca; they took that into account, when making their decisions. lucy frazer there. making their decisions. lucy frazer there- we — making their decisions. lucy frazer there. i've been _ making their decisions. lucy frazer there. i've been speaking - making their decisions. lucy frazer there. i've been speaking to - making their decisions. lucy frazer. there. i've been speaking to schama struck a party, the human rights lawyer, member of the house of lords and member of the civil rights group liberty. here is a reaction to the arrests of demonstrators. brute liberty. here is a reaction to the arrests of demonstrators. we were on the world stage. _ arrests of demonstrators. we were on the world stage, and _ arrests of demonstrators. we were on the world stage, and that _ arrests of demonstrators. we were on the world stage, and that means - arrests of demonstrators. we were on the world stage, and that means we l the world stage, and that means we need to protect our democracy, as well as celebrates the constitutional monarchy. i have had, and i'm sure other people, i have had messages from groups of friends around the world, expressing concern and surprise as the number of arrests. 0bviously, and surprise as the number of arrests. obviously, we will find out more, and we must find out more in the hours and days ahead, as to why these 52 people in particular were arrested. i am concerned at reports of people who were handing out rape alarms for women's safety at the

public assembly were selected. i am really concerned about the so—called operational independence that lucy frazer describes. we know for example, there is the home secretary issued a press release a few days ago saying that she backed the police to use their new powers. that doesn't sound very independent to me. you also know that the home office directly right to protest 0ffice directly right to protest groups, warning them that new powers had been rushed through in time for the coronation. that is of concern to me. , , ., ~ the coronation. that is of concern tome. , , ., ~',, the coronation. that is of concern tome. , , ., to me. lets 'ust talk about those ra -e to me. lets 'ust talk about those rape alarms— to me. lets just talk about those rape alarms you _ to me. lets just talk about those rape alarms you mention. - to me. lets just talk about those rape alarms you mention. the i to me. lets just talk about those i rape alarms you mention. the met to me. lets just talk about those - rape alarms you mention. the met has issued a statement about that. they says they received intelligence indicating people are planning to use the rape alarms to disrupt the procession. there were concerns from members of the military that this would scare the horses. you can imagine, you can see what happens whenjust one horse imagine, you can see what happens

when just one horse gets books, imagine, you can see what happens whenjust one horse gets books, but you could imagine what would happen if several of the horses in that procession of 4000 military personnel, you could imagine what would have happened. they said they did confiscate a number of rape alarms. that is what they have said, and this is that public safety was their priority. i and this is that public safety was their priority-— their priority. i understand that. but there their priority. i understand that. itut there is _ their priority. i understand that. but there is also _ their priority. i understand that. but there is also women's - their priority. i understand that. l but there is also women's safety. their priority. i understand that. i but there is also women's safety. i think that that intelligence and the actual people arrested, we will need to look a bit more deeply into this in due course, when people are released and when we can look at police interviews and records and so on. i understand is that you don't want to scare the horses, but you also do want to protect women. i am afraid there is a history all over the world, including in britain, or women being particularly vulnerable when they are out on the streets overnight, over long periods of time. i think that's my real point is that we need to celebrate peaceful dissent, as well as

celebrating our traditions. i am concerned that in recent years and months, and weeks, we have had a real clampdown, both from the police themselves, but in ever new powers. i will remind you that last autumn, the number ofjournalist, the number of journalist, card—carrying journalist, arrested just covering protests. covering them like you are this morning. and them like you are this morning. and the police at the time accuse them of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance, just for giving them the oxygen of publicity to demonstrations. that is the kind of climate we are operating under. it is something that i think is to be anxious about.— is something that i think is to be anxious about. shami chakrabarti there. anxious about. shami chakrabarti there- let's _ anxious about. shami chakrabarti there. let's turn _ anxious about. shami chakrabarti there. let's turn now— anxious about. shami chakrabarti there. let's turn now to - anxious about. shami chakrabarti there. let's turn now to texas. i there. let's turn now to texas. eight people have been killed in the latest mass shooting in the united states. the incident took place on saturday afternoon at a shopping mall in allen, which is around 35 kilometres outside dallas. this is the moment police officers hurried shoppers out of the mall.

eyewitnesses described a man dressed in black arms with an assault rifle, shooting apparently indiscriminately. he has not been identified, and was shot dead by police as the scene. there has been no word about any possible motive. remarkable people are currently in a critical condition in hospital. —— three more people. the sudanese military has accused its rivals of sending reinforcements for her tomb despite preliminary talks set to start on saturday. the military factions are in the port city of jeddah, the point of arrival for many people escaping the conflict over the last few weeks. the conflict is led by the us and saudi arabia. —— at the talks are led. it is the first time that the rsf and sudanese military will meet in person. they say it will take into account the interests of the sudanese people, and will engage in

a ceasefire to find and enter the conflict. despite this, the sudanese capital is still being hit by a fire, and there have been looting of banks. three weeks of fighting has left two and a half thousand people dead. back to the uk, and the three main parties in contention to form a government in the uk's next general election have been defending their performance in this week's local elections in england and wales. the governing conservative party lost control of 48 councils, and over 1000 council seats. let's go live to our political correspondentjonathan our political correspondent jonathan blake. our political correspondent jonathan blake. �* . our political correspondent jonathan blake. . ., ., , blake. after a day or so's pause in the analysis _ blake. after a day or so's pause in the analysis of— blake. after a day or so's pause in the analysis of the _ blake. after a day or so's pause in the analysis of the local _ blake. after a day or so's pause in the analysis of the local election l the analysis of the local election results across england on thursday for the coronation. all the main parties are now starting to assess the fallout of what was a very significant electoral exercise.

probably the key test ahead of what will be an expected general election next year, and of the broader political picture. the conservative party suffered heavy losses, losing control of many councils. labour made big gains, becoming the biggest party in local government in england for the first time in many years, and there were big gains for the liberal democrats and the green party as well. so, what do the tories make of that devastating verdict that the voters gave them in english local elections on thursday? rishi sunak says that while he said the party will listen, he does not sense a huge groundswell of support for labour. and we have also been told that the party had heard the message from voters and it was time to reflect from lucy frazer.— to reflect from lucy frazer. when i knock on doors _ to reflect from lucy frazer. when i knock on doors is _ to reflect from lucy frazer. when i knock on doors is the _ to reflect from lucy frazer. when i knock on doors is the moment - to reflect from lucy frazer. when i knock on doors is the moment is i to reflect from lucy frazer. when i i knock on doors is the moment is what
