tomorrow, so do to get engaged. there is still time, as matt was saying, download the app and you can help out. for the moment, before the concert, that is it. the metropolitan - concert, that is it. the metropolitan police i concert, that is it. the metropolitan police in | concert, that is it. the metropolitan police in london says it understands the public concerns about the arrest of 52 people who are trying to take part in demonstrations during the coronation. the met said it had received information that some protested had been determined to disrupt the occasion. the head of the anti—monarchy group republic, graber smith, spent nearly 16 hours in police custody. the graber smith, spent nearly 16 hours in police custody.— in police custody. the police, as ou no in police custody. the police, as you no laura. — in police custody. the police, as you no laura, are _ in police custody. the police, as you no laura, are operationallyl you no laura, are operationally dependent, and will have made tough calls yesterday. you will have seen that there were large protests taking place, the police were aware of those protests and they let them happen. but they will have made operational decisions on a case—by—case basis as to what is that they

i think that they took into account and i think they were quite right to take into account the context of the event as a whole. we were, on the global stage, there were 200 foreign dignitaries in the uk in london, at an event. millions of people watching, hundreds of thousands of people at the scene, i think it was really important that they took that into account, when making their decisions. earlier i spoke to shami chakrabarti, a human rights lawyer, member of the house of lords and former director of the civil rights group liberty who started by telling us her reaction the arrests. yes, we were on the world stage. and that means that we need to protect our democracy as well as celebrate constitutional monarchy. and, i've had, i'm sure other people have, too, i've had messages from some friends around the world expressing concern and surprise at 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'm concerned at reports that that people who were handing out rape alarms for women's safety in a big public assembly were selected. and i'm really concerned about this so called "operational independence" that lucy frazer described, because we know, for example, that the home secretary issued a press release a few days ago saying that she backed the police to use her new powers to the full. that doesn't sound very independent to me. and we also know that the home office directly wrote to protest groups, warning them that new powers had been had been rushed through in time for the coronation. that is of concern to me. let's just talk about those rape alarms that you mentioned, because the met police has issued a statement about that. they said that they had

received intelligence indicating that people were planning to use the rape alarms to disrupt the procession. and there was concerns from the members of the military that this would scare the horses. and you can imaginejust, you know, you can see what happens when just one horse gets spooked. but you can imagine what could happen if several of the horses in that procession of 4,000 military personnel, you could imagine what could have happened. and they said that when they made arrests, they did confiscate a number of rape alarms. that's what they've said about this. and they said that the public safety was their priority. i do understand that. but there's also women's safety. so i think that that intelligence and the actual people arrested, we'll need to look a little bit more deeply into this in due course when people are released, when we can we can look at the police interviews and records and so on, because, yes, of course, i understand that you don't want to scare the horses, but you also do want

to protect women. and i'm afraid there's a history all over the world, including in britain, of women being particularly vulnerable when they're out on the streets overnight orfor long periods of time. i think my real point is that we need to celebrate peaceful dissent as well as celebrating other traditions. and i'm concerned that in recent years and months and weeks, we've had a real clampdown both from the police themselves, but in ever new powers. i mean, i'll remind you that last autumn, a number ofjournalists, card carrying journalists, were arrested just for covering protests, covering them just like you are this morning. and the police at the time accused them of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance, just for giving the oxygen of publicity to demonstrations. that's the kind of climate that we're operating under. and it's something to be, i think, a little bit anxious about. let's go to texas now. 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, around 35 kms outside dallas. this was the moment police officers hurried shoppers out of the mall. eyewitnesses described a man dressed in black and armed with an assault rifle shooting apparently indiscriminately. the gunman has not been identified and was shot dead by police at the scene. our correspondent, jessica parker, has been following developments from washington. police say that as gunshots were heard, there was a police officer in the area, on an unrelated matter, they heard those gunshots, approached the shooter, and killed them. they believe the gunman was acting alone, that there is no further threat to the community. very sadly, six victims were found dead at the scene, two others who were taken to hospital died later, three people were in critical surgery, and four others in a stable condition. this was at a shopping area, on a saturday afternoon, very busy, footage has emerged of large numbers of people being evacuated from the area.

again, this may prompt that familiar debate about gun control laws in the united states. mass shootings have been on the rise in america, but despite that, there is still huge shock in those communities where instances like this take place. the sudanese army has accused its paramilitary rivals of sending reinforcements towards khartoum, despite preliminary talks between the two sides that were set to start on saturday. envoys from sudan's warring military factions are in the port city ofjeddah, the arriving point for many people escaping the conflict over the last few weeks. the diplomatic effort is led by the us and saudi arabia and it's the first time represenatives of the army and the paramilitary rapid support forces meet in person. in a statement, the parties are urged to take into consideration the interests

of the sudanese nation and its people and engage in talks towards a ceasefire and an end to the conflict. despite several ceasefires, the capital khartoum is still being hit by air strikes. the army today accused the rapid support forces of sending more of their fighters to the capital, attacking its positions and looting banks. doctors say in the more than three weeks of fighting has left nearly 500 people dead and 2,500 wounded. well over 100,000 people are thought to have fled the country. our diplomatic correspondent paul adams has this update. so we've had no word yet from jeddah on the state of the talks that are going on there, brokered by the united states and saudi arabia involving the two parties, the sudanese army and the rapid support forces. these were described as an american official as stop the guns, get the goods in, talks. in other words, designed to improve the humanitarian situation on the ground, to create corridors, safe corridors where aid can reach the places where it's needed.

they are not political negotiations. they are not designed, we understand they are not designed to bridge the political differences that exist between the two sides. but on the ground, we're not seeing any signs of progress, even with those limited objections. there are plenty of reports this morning from khartoum of continued fighting in various parts of the city. i've just been in touch with a lady who lives in the western part of khartoum. she says she can hear fighting happening from various parts of the city. a missile landed close to her apartment block not long ago. last night, i was hearing reports from further north of heavy clashes in the bakhri area that's over the nile river north of khartoum proper. so very little sign that the people of the city can see that the situation there is improving. and every day this carries on, it's getting harder and harder

for those civilians still trapped inside the city, too afraid to leave their homes and make an escape, but also extremely worried that their supplies are running out. the stocks they laid in at the beginning of this crisis are beginning to run out. the power is intermittent. some people don't have water, and the longer this goes goes on, the harder it is getting for them. russia has said it is shot down several drones overnight. in the volgograd region, very close to the border with ukraine, an area that has often been targeted since the invasion. they said gas pipes had been hit, but there were no injuries. meanwhile, there are

warnings of shelling around to the zaporizhzhia power plant. russian occupying forces have begun to evacuate residents from the area. it had been described as increasingly unpredictable and potentially dangerous. our correspondent in kyiv explains a little bit more about the concerns and the evacuation from zaporizhzhia. concerns and the evacuation from zaporizhzhia-— zaporizhzhia. this is a decision that was announced _ zaporizhzhia. this is a decision that was announced by - zaporizhzhia. this is a decision that was announced by the - zaporizhzhia. this is a decision - that was announced by the russian appointed officials just days ago. more than a dozen towns and villages near the front line in the zaporizhzhia region have been evacuated. one of those towns is the town of in hodder, where the zaporizhzhia power plant is located. i think that this latest warning from raffaella grassi comes after this decision to evacuate residents was announced. he expressed concerns about the situation there of the

staff, who continue to operate this facility. so, this is the nuclear station that was occupied by the russians in the early days of the war, but ukrainian offerors are still operating there. so we don't know whether these workers will remain there, whether their relatives will stay there, and i think this is what raphael across the air was referring to. he says the air was referring to. he says the situation was increasingly tense, stressful and challenging. he has been raising concerns for quite some time about the safety of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. this is obviously happening as ukrainians are expected to launch a much anticipated ukrainian counter offensive. again, he has been calling for measures to ensure the safety of this nuclear facility. the canadian province of alberta has declared a state of emergency in response to

worsening wildfires. 25,000 residents have now left their homes — as hot, dry, windy weather had produced unprecedented fires. more than 30 of the fast—spreading wildfires are considered to be out of control. firefighters are being sent from neighbouring canadian provinces. julia wong — national reporter with cbc news in alberta — has more details. a lot of these people are living in small hamlets, small villages. but what we have seen in the last few days is that bigger communities, larger towns are being told they have to evacuate. so it started off with towns of about 3000 people. now we're seeing towns of 7000, 8000 people told that they need to leave right away. and so an evacuation center has opened up here in edmonton and another one will be opening up in calgary. so the two biggest cities that we're seeing in this province. many of these residents, they have trailers, they have motor homes. so they're able to perhaps go stay with their friends, they're able

to go to some public lands, parking lots and hopefully wait it out. but what we're seeing is that after they're told to leave wherever they live and they go to a nearby community, well, these wildfires are growing just so rapidly that then those communities that they're in are told that they have to leave. so they're being evacuated several times, over and over again. and as you can imagine, a very stressful situation for these people right now. they're not really certain when they may be able to go home. here in the uk, 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 1,000 council seats. live now to our political correspondentjonathan blake. after a day or so pause in the analysis of the local election results across england on thursday for the coronation, all of the main parties are now starting to assess the fallout of what was a very

significant electoral exercise. probably the key test ahead of an expected general election next year. of the broader national political picture. of course, the conservatives suffered heavy losses, losing control of more than 1000 councils overall. labour made big gains, becoming the national biggest party in local government for the first time in many years, and there were big gains for the liberal democrats and the green party as well. what do the tories make of that devastating verdict that the voters gave them an english local elections on thursday? rishi sunak has said that whilst the party will listen, he doesn't detect a big groundswell of support for labour. and this morning, the culture secretary lucy frazer told the record spoke on bbc news, that the party has heard the message from voters and it was time to reflect. —— told lorcan spoke. voters and it was time to reflect. -- told lorcan spoke.— voters and it was time to reflect. -- told lorcan spoke. when i knock on doors. — -- told lorcan spoke. when i knock on doors. the _ -- told lorcan spoke. when i knock on doors, the thing _ -- told lorcan spoke. when i knock

policies on immigration as well. but it doesn't seem like the prime minister will change his approach. what are the results mean for labour? so keir starmer was very quick to claim they show the party is on course to win as the next general election, and despite some scepticism around whether the party's support is really that strong at this stage, senior party figures seen in bolton. what strong at this stage, senior party figures seen in bolton.— strong at this stage, senior party figures seen in bolton. what we have relearned as — figures seen in bolton. what we have relearned as a _ figures seen in bolton. what we have relearned as a party, _ figures seen in bolton. what we have relearned as a party, recovering - relearned as a party, recovering from _ relearned as a party, recovering from our— relearned as a party, recovering from our worst defeat since 1935, is that we _ from our worst defeat since 1935, is that we need to work hard to own peoples _ that we need to work hard to own peoplesjust in support that we need to work hard to own peoples just in support and where you clog _ peoples just in support and where you clog up the results matters. we're _ you clog up the results matters. we're really focused on those areas that labour— we're really focused on those areas that labour needs win in order to win at— that labour needs win in order to win at the — that labour needs win in order to win at the next general election. we saw breakthrough results right across — saw breakthrough results right across england. we didn't have local elections _ across england. we didn't have local elections this time in scotland and wales _ elections this time in scotland and wales in— elections this time in scotland and wales. in scotland, we are very much back in— wales. in scotland, we are very much back in contention, notjust wales. in scotland, we are very much back in contention, not just as a force _ back in contention, not just as a force in— back in contention, not just as a force in westminster, but with the snp implosion, we people agree to be looking _ snp implosion, we people agree to be looking to _

a simultaneous rave with kyiv. two semi—finals will air on tuesday and thursday, with 26 countries qualifying for the final on saturday. that's all for now. thank you for watching. hello. after the rain of yesterday we will have a dryer, quieter day today. more sunshine than we have seen over the last few days, as the coronation celebrations continue. some showers in the forecast today but tomorrow it turns more unsettled again. rain for many of us for bank holiday monday before here and now, the rain waiting in the wings. the rain from yesterday clearing in the east, and we're in between weather systems at the moment. many areas staying dry, a bit

of a murky start for some of us. western parts of england and wales stay predominantly dry, you could just catch a rogue shower but in the east there will be more frequent. parts of east anglia and lincolnshire, towards northumberland you could see one or two for the likes of perth and kinross. further north across scotland some sunshine and scattered showers, in the northern isles low plot lingers as it will across aberdeen. if you are in the east of scotland with the breeze and cloud coming in from the sea, it's 11 or 12 degrees but for the rest of us, pretty warm, temperatures around 17—21 , possibly the warmest day of the year so far. fine conditions into the evening, looking dry for the concert at windsor but the next area of rain working in overnight. monday morning that sits across scotland, western england and wales, in the east we keep clear skies for longest, temperatures and high single figures. some sunshine through the morning across the far south—east of england but rain spreading from west to east across all parts followed

by sunshine and scattered heavy showers and potentially thunderstorms for the likes of northern ireland. into wales too. temperature is 15—19 . on tuesday, it's unsettled again with sunshine and showers, the showers more frequent later in the day especially towards the south and west they could be heavy and thundery but in between high temperatures of 15—19 . looking fairly settled through much of the week ahead especially the middle part of the week so sunshine and scattered showers, plenty of showers on the outlook but a little drier and warmer for friday and saturday. goodbye for now.
