police in the us state of texas are investigating what caused a car to career at high speed into people at a bus stop, killing seven of them. the incident occurred near a migrant centre in the town of brownsville close to the us border with mexico. at least six others were injured, some of them critically. 0ur correspondent, duncan kennedy, is in the newsroom with more details. the pictures coming out of texas show the extent of the chaos and tragedy in brownsville. the incident took place at half past eight sunday morning texas time, with a car careering into a group of people waiting at a bus stop. we know that this bus was next to a migrant centre, housing some 200 or so people. we don't know if the migrants were involved in this incident. we know that seven people were killed, some, if not all, at the scene. six others were taken to hospital, some of them having serious injuries.

the driver of the car was also taken to hospital. we don't know the extent of his injuries, he was charged under reckless driving offences and is being held under guard. we don't know exactly what the police investigation is, it is under way at the moment but they are saying that he has been tested for drug and alcohol use, which is standard procedure in the united states. brownsville police have been at pains to say that there had been speculation on social media about what was the motivation behind this, why this accident happened,

intoxication, or an accident, or that it was intentional but as yet their investigation hasn't come to a conclusion so, they don't know exactly what has happened. but it is a double tragedy for the people of texas, coming as it did 24 hours after that shooting incident in dallas were eight more people died, unrelated incidents but a tragedy for the people of texas and the people of the united states. president biden has described as senseless a shooting that left 8 people dead at a shopping centre in the us state of texas. eyewitnesses described a man opening fire apparently indiscriminately at shoppers in a suburb of dallas. the victims were aged between 5 and 51. the gunman was shot dead by police at the scene. gunshots ring out across allen premium outlets. saturday afternoon shoppers run for their lives. this is a shopping mall 20 miles north of dallas. like pop, pep, p0p, p0p, p0p- and we saw sparks flying, like it was right in front of us. so we just ran into the converse store. they locked the door. we all hunkered down in the back, and that's where we stayed. you see the guy. there's this guy dressed in all black, wearing a vest, has an assault rifle,

and he'sjust shooting at people. right across... he was at, like, francesca's area, shooting at people. police believe the gunman acted alone, the motive so far unknown. he was killed by a police officer who happened to be there and reacted quickly. one of our officers was on an unrelated call at the outlet mall. he heard gunshots, went to the gunshots, engaged the suspect and neutralised the suspect. he also then called for ambulances. terrified shoppers were evacuated, many with arms in the air. as they left, there was more panic as some thought gunshots were still being fired. police and emergency services blocked entrances to the mall. my family and i reside about a mile from where this shooting took place. this community is home for us, and our hearts are devastated and broken tonight. in texas, there are few restrictions on possession of firearms. according to one group — gun violence archive —

saturday's attack is the 199th shooting this year across the country, where four or more people were killed or wounded. saturday's victims were of all ages, children included, out shopping with families. more numbers to add to the toll of gun crime in america. aruna iyengar, bbc news. authorities in the east of the democratic republic of congo say nearly four hundred bodies have been retrieved following floods and landslides after torrential rain on thursday. they had previously said two hundred people had died. last week also saw floods across the other side of lake kivu in neighbouring rwanda where more than one hundred and thirty people were killed. the un secretary—general antonio guterres said the floods were another illustration of accelerating climate change. the japanese prime minister, has said his �*heart aches�* over the suffering of koreans during japan�*s colonial rule.

but the iaea have repeatedly asked for intervention to ensure the plant is well away from any conflicts. and it isn�*t. they have continued to be showing near the plant and thatis be showing near the plant and that is with the concern is and that is with the concern is and that there could be an incident where there was a shell strike on the plant that breaches some form of containment with a local release of radioactivity. rehearsals are well under way in liverpool for the eurovision song contest. the city is hosting the event on behalf of last year�*s winners, ukraine, with the first stage of the competition on tuesday. a welcome ceremony has been taking part at st george�*s hall in liverpool. this is loreen, from sweden — loreen won in 2012 and she�*s back in the competition as one of the favourites with her song tattoo. according to the bookies, other acts like france, spain or finland are also tipped to do well. this is the finnish singer kariija. his song cha cha cha has been going down a storm with live audiences.

up the two countries. that�*s all for now — stay with bbc world news. hello there. looking at the weather over the coronation weekend, i think it�*s fair to say we�*ve had a real mixed bag, starting on saturday with the coronation itself, where, in london, we had, of course, rain. it wasn�*t that heavy — we only had five millimetres — but it was relentless, lasting for about nine hours, so very damp weather. different story for sunday, many of us dry with some sunshine coming through. and it was the warmest day of the year so far with highs of 21.3. but how warm is that? well, if we look at the 7th of may, in previous years, up to that date, we�*ve had much warmer spells. for example, back in 2018, temperatures had already reached 29 degrees at this time of the year. so 21, absolutely nothing

special for early may. now, on the satellite picture, what we�*re looking at here is this stripe of cloud, which is our next band of heavy rain that�*s going to be moving through. indeed, it�*s already making inroads in across northern ireland, moving its way eastwards into scotland. england in the west and wales also having a wet start to your bank holiday monday. will be quite mild, though, temperatures about 10—12 celsius for many of us. and then through monday, well, you might well start off with a bit of sunshine across east anglia and the south—east of england, but this band of rain is on its way. the rain quite heavy at times, perhaps with a bit of thunder mixed in. and even as we start to see some brighter weather moving into the north—west later on, there�*ll be lots of heavy showers, particularly for northern ireland, with a number of thunderstorms here. but those storms are also likely to be working to west scotland as well. where we do see a bit of may

sunshine, temperatures still into the high teens, so it still won�*t feel too bad. tuesday, it starts quite cloudy. there�*ll be some sunshine comes through for a time, but then big showers. northern ireland, wales and southern counties of england quite likely to see some big thunderstorms and some of those will have hail mixed in with them as well. still, there will be some places that dodge the downpours. and with temperatures still into the upper teens, it won�*t feel too bad if you�*re out and about. wednesday sees an occlusion, bringing some more general rain to west scotland and northern ireland. it�*s not the only place that will see rain, though, because after a fine start across england and wales, showers will move from west to east. and, again, they�*re likely to be heavy with some hail and thunder mixed in once again. now, temperatures still pretty much at best reaching the upper teens. thursday, we see further showers, particularly concentrated across england and wales. something a bit brighterfor scotland and northern ireland. but as you can see from the outlook, we are expecting it to stay pretty unsettled.
