of service, a theme which will continue tomorrow with the big help 0ut, when thousands of volunteers will give their time to help others. nicholas witchell, bbc news. quite the weekend in the uk. let's turn now to some other news. in the us state of texas, seven people have been killed after a car struck a group of people at a bus stop near a migrant and homeless shelter in brownsville, a city along the us—mexico border. us border officials say the city has seen a sharp increase in undocumented migration. the incident left at least six others injured, some of them critically. the driver has been arrested and charged with reckless driving. brownsville police say it's not yet clear whether the incident was intentional. here's how the manager of that nearby migrant shelter described the scene. so we had probably 20 of our residents cross the street to go to their destination to the bus station to leave today and i think somebody has just run them over and it

was really sad. all 15, ithink it was more than 15. some of them passed away on the scene, that is what they have told me, everything is under investigation and we have seven or ten more at the hospital now. the incident comesjust days before pandemic—era restrictions on migration, known as title 42, are set to expire. the restrictions is a trump—era policy that allows us border agents to quickly expel migrants trying to cross the southern us border with mexico. it's stated goal was to stop the spread of covid—i9, though its faced criticism from immigration advocates who say it prevents asylum seekers from entering the us. title 42 is set to expire in a matter of days — on may 11. just last month, brownsville and three other texas cities declared a state of emergency ahead of an anticipated influx of migrants. we'll have more on this as it develops. staying in texas, where memorials are taking place in allen, near dallas, at the scene of a mass shooting

at a shopping mall. eight people were killed saturday by a gunman armed with an ar—is—style assault weapon. officials say the shooter fired indiscriminately at shoppers. seven others were wounded, three are in a critical condition. the shooter has been identified as 33—year—old mauricio garcia and multiple sources have told cbs news that garcia had a patch on his clothing with the letters rwds, which is believed to be a right—wing neo—nazi group. presidentjoe biden has ordered flags at the white house and other government buildings to be lowered to half—staff until sunset thursday. meanwhile, local allen officials as well as texas governor greg abbott have attended a vigil at a local church. here's what governor abbott said about the shooting earlier on sunday. well, senator, obviously this is just devastating. texans are hurting today and the people who are hurting the most, obviously, are the families of the victims,

families who have lost a loved one, families who have a loved one who is injured. at the state level, listen, this is something we have been grappling with over the past year and there are some potential easy solutions such as passing laws that we are working on right now to get guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals and to increase penalties for criminals who possess guns. so one thing we can observe, very easily, and that is there has been a dramatic increase in the amount of anger and violence that is taking place in america and what texas is doing in a big—time way, we are working to address that anger and violence by going to its root cause, which is addressing the mental health problems behind it. earlier spoke with a local democratic representative in the state of texas.

nathanjohnson, nathan johnson, democratic state nathanjohnson, democratic state senator, not far from allen, texas, thank you for joining us at what is a difficult time for your surrounding community. first of all, tell us how your constituents are responding to the shooting. they are alarmed every time one of this tragedy happens everyone is alarmed, but it particularly hits you the closer it is to you. people in my district shop in this mall, it is terrifying to have it so close to home. i was in houston last night actually for my son's college graduation and was here for this wonderful moment in the family's life when my phone lights up with this horrible news about the end of other people's lives, so it hits hard. what was the reaction when that news took place. you said you were out and about, how safe do people feel? i don't know that people feel immediately unsafe. i think it's going to be

disconcerting every time people go out about their daily business right now and it appears that violence finds us wherever we go, and i don't think people have quite grasped that yet, i don't know how many tragedies it takes, but i think it is getting close to the number where people are going to start generally feeling unsafe, i don't think people are afraid to go out of their homes today, but it is a disconcerting feeling to have knowing that it's everywhere. just off the back of what you just said, the shooting comes about a week after a gunman killed five people in cleveland, texas, also there in your state, this is shaping up nationally to be a record year so far for mass shootings nationwide. what more, in your opinion, needs to be done to these kinds of shootings in your community? i'd like to start with a couple of things that aren't working, what's not working is the approach the state has taken in the past which is to give more people more access to more guns in more

places more of the time. we're not talking about taking guns away from people, but clearly arming ourselves to the hilt is not going to prevent gun violence, having security guards everywhere and metal detectors, it is good to be prepared, but that is not really protecting us from gun violence, mental healthcare, as defficient as it has been in the state, i'm glad we're making progress on it, it is not going to reject us from the pervasive culture of gun violence. the fact is that most people with mental health are not homicidal. in fact, most people who are homicidal not have been picked up homicidal not have been picked up in mental health screening. what's left? what's left is the gun safety laws that many of us have been advocating for for a decade now. simple non—invasive things that completely respect the revered second amendment rights in this country, in the state, responsible gun owners everywhere need not fear a red flag law, extreme risk orders, background checks, limits on magazine capacities, people can argue about a little bit more, but really how much are your rights infringed if we have very large limits on magazine capacities?

take your pick, we have a panoply of options that we have not tried. age limits to buying guns, better training courses, having a training course at all, the state recently removed the requirement that you even need one. i mean that's the one thing we haven't done, will these things work? we have seen them work nationally and more there can be a debate about how convincing the evidence is, there is pretty good evidence that they do work and in the meantime why not do it? why not send people a message that says we care, we are actually trying, and that's the other point i want to may, is whether or not a law or a set of laws stops the next shooter, we have a problem in this state and in this country with violence in our culture, with gun violence specifically in our culture. and if we don't do something about it as legislators, if all we can do is increase the level of apprehension and anxiety and gun ownership and encourage people to get out there and defend themselves and that's all, then we are contributing to the hysteria and the violence

in the culture. we've got to send a message that we care about people enough to at least try, at least try to put some measures into effect that will stem the violence. beyond those measures, what you just said is interesting about the culture of gun ownership in the united states and in texas as well, how would you tackle changing a culture that you describe as being pro—gun in your state? you know, i don't think i have to challenge a pro—gun culture, i know many people who have owned guns responsibly for their entire lives, so they were children they were taught by their families were respectful of firearms and their lethal power. we have to instead challenge the whole notion that the glorification of violence, not only in video games, i mean the attitude that we solve our problems through violent means and that we react to everything through violent means and by everybody thinking that we can

protect ourselves and express our opinions and that an armed society is a polite society is really misguided and feeds to, i think, really an innate notion from an early age that we solve our problems with violence. gun ownership is ok, believing that violence and weapons are the answer to our differences is not ok. it's a harder, more subtle problem, but clearly not doing anything doesn't work. clearly making it easier to own weapons with indiscriminate use and indiscriminate boundaries is not working. so it's not a question of stopping people from a historical relationship with guns in texas, that can be done responsibly. in 2021 you briefly touched on this, there was legislation that went into effect that allows most texans who legally own a firearm to carry it openly in public without a permit or training.

how likely is it that that law may get a second look by state lawmakers like yourself? you know, you'd think it would be easy, you'd think we could do it in the next three weeks, and i hope we do. i'm not optimistic that it will happen. it was a travesty — it was a shock that it happened in the first place, something like 80% of texans because it was a horrible idea to eliminate the requirement of obtaining a permit and some basic firearm training when you bought a gun and they passed it anyway, over the objections of many of us. can they admit that that was the wrong course? it seems like an unlikely prospect. but i would hold out hope. i would be happy to help and would be happy to work with anybody in any party wants

to correct that mistake. you are a democrat in a republican—controlled state coming so you are happy to work with people, how does that work take place? what kinds of conversations have you had across both sides of the aisle? i think there is a moment when it is going to be to the benefit of everybody, irrespective of their party, to recognise that we have a larger problem, and that the rah rah rhetoric of "guns are going to save us" is not going to be politically rewarded. and lo, my republican colleagues don't want people to die from gun violence. they don't. there is a problem with a primary election pushing people to take positions that they wouldn't otherwise push, and the game of politics is complex but it is time to put the games aside, and i think one thing that democrats can do is not speak with a condemning voice, to the extent we can on the subject, but it is difficult on the subject.

but if someday wants to come over and make some sort of reasonable progress, we can have reasonable demands, and the whole thing can be a very responsible political process. i think maybe the role of democrats would be to be tolerant in the discussions, but insistent that we get results. right. nathanjohnson, democratic texas state senator, representing dallas county, thanks for speaking with us. thank you very much. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. wow. wow. its dirty work but someone's _ wow. its dirty work but someone's got - wow. its dirty work but someone's got to - wow. its dirty work but someone's got to do i wow. its dirty work but | someone's got to do it. wow. its dirty work but - someone's got to do it. that is the attitude here today in barnstable for the greatest ever clean—up of the river at all. ever clean-up of the river at all. ~ ~ , ., all. we think it is important to brin: all. we think it is important to bring all— all. we think it is important to bring all of— all. we think it is important to bring all of the _ all. we think it is important to bring all of the services i to bring all of the services together, all the students, just work together as a community to clear up the town really, notjust the river. this is the of the river tour in the last two years, and it's

forces have shared images they say show a large fire in the port city of 0desa. russia has stepped up its aerial attacks ahead of an anticipated spring offensive by ukraine. a ukrainian general in bakhmut said russia has intensified its shelling there too. it's attacks like this latest barrage have led the un's nuclear watchdog to sound the alarm over the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which russia seized from ukraine in the early phase of the invasion. russia has been evacuating areas around the plant, ahead of a widely—expected spring offensive by ukraine. the head of the international atomic energy agency, rafael grossi, explained why the evacuation worried him. quite obviously, and this is common sense, when military authorities decide to evacuate people, it's because they have either information or plans about possible military operations. i don't have any

element to say whether this is ukrainian, orwho is element to say whether this is ukrainian, or who is selling the risk. my teams can confirm even when i'm in contact with them over the phone, like we are now, i can get that. so there is shelling around the plant, yes, there is. i was there a few weeks ago, and i had to go through minefields to get to the plant. so i think it is time we get back to our senses and get some agreement at least at the minimum level of avoiding a nuclear catastrophe. that i think is not too much to ask. mr grossi outlined what he feels could happen, if the plant is caught up infighting. you may have the possibility, which would be the worst, of a direct attack, wittingly or unwittingly. let's never forget that. direct hits on the reactors, orfuel that. direct hits on the reactors, or fuel storage areas, orfresh fuel reactors, or fuel storage areas, or fresh fuel areas. reactors, or fuel storage areas, orfresh fuelareas. so this would be one. the second,

and we had already six episodes of this, the complete loss of outside power, which is indispensable to maintain the calling function of the reactors. this happened six times already, and necessitated the immediate operation of the emergency generators, which is also the last line of defence before you have a meltdown. to south korea now — where japanese prime minister fumio kishida has met with south korean president yoon — sung nyeol. it's the first official visit by a japanese leader to south korea in more than a decade. on sunday, the japanese p—m visited seoul national cemetary — where war veterans who fought against japanese rule are buried. that was followed by talks with the south korean president. the two countries have had strained relations for the past ten years, largely dominated by colonial—era disputes. south korea was colonised byjapan from 1910 until the end of world war two. now, growing security threats appear to have prompted

the leaders to try mend diplomatic ties. let's hear from them. translation: between japan and south korea, there - are numerous historical aspects and circumstances. as the prime minister ofjapan, i think it is my duty to ensure that we carry on efforts that came before us to overcome difficult times to work with president yoon and the korean side. translation: both countries are exposed to north korea'sl nuclear threats. security cooperation is more important now than ever before. professor stephen nagy is an expert injapanese foreign policy at the international christian university in tokyo. earlier, he reflected on the importance of the visit, and how other global powers, like the us, might observe the meeting.

president yoon, prior to becoming president and during his presidency has put a top priority, in terms of rehabilitating the bilateral relations. the understand is that south korean security, its economic prosperity, will be linked to working with japan and the united states and it is going to have to work with these countries to push back against north korea, as well as deal with the challenges in china. both leaders see the cooperation bilaterally, try laterally with the united states but also in venues such as the g7 is really, really important venues to deal with the economic challenges associated with the post—covid—19 pandemic. dealing with authoritarian states, such as russia and china, in terms of wanting to change the security architecture within the region, and really ensuring that those democratic principles, that japan and south korea share, remain vibrant, remain protected, and really are the barometer of how the region develops, not through the lens of authoritarian states.

the united states hopes its two friends and allied partners work much more coherently together, that they deal with the past, that thing think about a forward—leaning presence. but i should be very frank — it is notjust the united states that has these views about south korea and japan. canada, australia, india, south—east asian countries and the european union all want these two democratic partners to work more closely together, to put the past behind them, and to use their collective resources to deal with the real challenges within the region. wildfires have forced more than 25,000 people to leave their homes in the canadian province of alberta. faced with more than 100 wildfires, the authorities have declared a state of emergency, and the federal government has offered help from ottawa. many of the fires are burning out of control, fanned by strong winds. before we go, let's return to the uk. i promise it is not coronation news. rehearsals are well underway 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. on sunday, the 2023 eurovision entrants took part in a welcome ceremony at st george's hall in liverpool. this is loreen, from sweden arriving to the red carpet — which is actually turquoise for sponsorship reasons. loreen won in 2012 and she's back in the competition as one of the favourites, with her song, tattoo. but, of course, anything can happen and according to the bookies, other acts like france, spain or finland are also tipped to do well. we will have lots of coverage of eurovision, of course the coronation celebrations continue into the weekend as well, and we will bring you updated coverage of that incident today in brownsville, texas, as well. lots more on

the website. stay tuned right here on bbc 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. a 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. it will be quite mild, though, temperatures about ten to 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 southeast 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 in to 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. 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.

voice-over: this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines and all the main news stories for you at the top of the hour, straight after this programme. hello, everyone. a warm welcome to talking business weekly with me, aaron heslehurst. look at what's on the show. it's the dawn of a new era here in the uk. 0ver70 dawn of a new era here in the uk. over 70 years as his queen elizabeth took the throne, written and northern ireland have a new king and every new set of challenges facing the economy. king charles ii! reigns of animation transformed
