we start in the us. two people have been killed and another 28 are injured in the city of baltimore. three people are in a critical condition. a gunman opened fire as hundreds of gathered for annual event in the brooklyn area. live to the newsroom now — for the very latest with nicky schiller. hello. yes, americans waking up to the news that there has been another mass shooting, this time as you said, in the city of baltimore in the south of the city. the gunman opened fire on an annual event in that area. two people have been killed. 28 others have been injured. three of those are critical in hospital. police say they received multiple calls at around 12.30 and when they arrived at the scene, they found multiple victims with gunshot wounds. the acting commissioner has given a news conference. here is

what he had to say. 0ur detectives are currently working an extensive crime scene. the two deceased victims we have are both adults. we have three other victims who are in critical condition. our hearts and prayers are going out to the families, sending it out to the families and friends of these victims as well as the community in our entire city. this is an extensive crime scene, our detectives are going to be here quite a while. if anyone saw anything or knows anything, please call 911 or call local metro crime stoppers 1—866—7—lockup. we have members of our fire department, also emergency management, as well as otherjurisdictions working with us to try to determine a motive. so as the acting commissioner said, it is a large crime scene that they are dealing with. he went on to say that they are reviewing all possible video footage in the hunt for the suspects. local media reports say that witnesses heard between 20 and 30 shots and that parents were very

concerned for their children in the area. the mayor of the city was also at that news conference that was held in the last couple of hours and held in the last couple of hours and he said that this incident highlighted the need to get a —— illegal guns off the street in the city and had this message for the perpetrator of the crime. this was a reckless, cowardly act that happened here and that has permanently altered many lives and cost two people their lives. i want those who are responsible to hear me and hear me very clearly — we will not stop until we find you and we will find you. until then, i hope with every single breath that you take that you think about the lives that you took and you think about the lives that you impacted here tonight. the mayor said that his heart felt thoughts and prayers went out to the victims, particularly of course the two people, the families of the two people who have died and those that

are in hospital. another mass shooting in america. i wasjust checking the gun violence archive which details mass shootings across the united states and they say on friday, there had been 336 mass shootings. so this at least the 337th this year in america. 0k, nikki, thank you for that. we are going to go to france now. last night saw the fifth night of unrest. in total, more than 700 arrests. violence on the streets. fires, damage to property. 0ne incident, a local mayor on the outskirts of paris said a car was rammed into his house and his wife was injured. he tweeted this, he said... we heard an update from the prosecutor. an investigation into

"attempted murder" under way. the prosecutor said that the mayor's wife broke her shin bone. she's local politician. many french politicians have expressed solidarity with the family. this was marseille in south. these protests after the shooting of a 17—year—old boy, his funeral was held on saturday. 0ur correspondent sofia bettiza has this update from lille, in the north of france. last night, for a fifth night in a row, there have been violent protests across france. we had an update from the interior ministery saying that that 719 people have been arrested, 45 police officers have been injured and 871 fires were started just last night. here in lille, like many other places across france,

this place has seen looting, fires and damage to public property. you can see behind me a building that was a health centre. about 35 people used to work here, mostly nurses and doctors. rioters came in, in the middle of the night, they set the place on fire and now it's completely destroyed. nearby, a school was damaged by fire as well. and students at a separate school, children, they wrote a sign that they hung at the entrance of the building which says, "please do not burn our schools". this gives you an idea that many people here where i am in northern france do not sympathise with the rioters. what they've said to us is these people are destroying their own communities and their own neighbourhoods. so the feeling is that this

is just not the right way to demand justice for nahel. is there any sense of any kind of turning point here? clearly, the damage right behind you would suggest no, but the numbers of arrests and incidents are falling slightly from the other nights before. is there anything to read into that? i mean, the interior minister said this morning that the rioting last night was not as bad, as you said, and he thanked the police for being out in force again, more than 115,000 police officers have been deployed across france. but of course, there's still a lot of anger. as you mention, that incident with a mayor of a paris suburb, with people trying to drive a car into his house and trying to set fire to his house.

incidents like this have been happening again last night, some of the worst violence was in marseille, where protesters clashed with the police and the police responded with tear gas. so at the moment, it doesn't seem to be a turning point because i think when things like this happen normally, the government tries to reach out, but that hasn't happened. president macron has condemned the violence, saying it's unacceptable to attack symbols of the french republic like schools, like city halls, like police stations, but what people here really want is some acknowledgement that there is a problem within the french police, and that hasn't happened yet. until that does happen, there is a risk of more violence and more protests in the coming days. thanks to sofia for that. in the uk — the national health service is to nearly double the number of gambling addiction

clinics in england. this is after referrals hit a record high. seven new facilities will open this summer. here's joe inwood. gambling has never been easier — every smartphone can become a virtual casino. that ease of access has coincided with a huge rise in the number of people struggling with addiction. people like luke ashton. last week, a coroner ruled that his online losses contributed to his decision to take his own life. after his death, his wife annie got access to his accounts. there was just so much on there. ijust remember sitting there and scrolling, scrolling, scrolling and it was the same day and scrolling and seeing his transactions, it was so apparent at that point there was a major issue. how can someone make that many bets in one day? how can somebody do that and it not be picked up? they considered him a low risk. even having that information in front of them, they still considered him a low risk, so something is wrong.

just under 1,400 patients were referred for help with gambling addiction last year — that's nearly double the figure from two years ago. it's led to strong criticism of the industry and the head of nhs england, amanda pritchard, has raised her own concerns, saying, people can gamble on their phone at the touch of a button and everyone, young and old, is bombarded with adverts encouraging them to take part. the solution, seven more specialist clinics. there are already eight running, including a national centre in london. the plan is to have space to treat 3,000 people a year, offering cognitive behavioural therapy, family therapy, support groups and aftercare. but there are calls for industry to act too. the nhs cannot and should not do this alone, so, absolutely, we've called upon industry to act responsibly, stop some of the more pernicious and aggressive marketing techniques and unsolicited

approaches to people. the government recently introduced proposals aimed at reducing the harms caused by problem gambling. today's announcement shows the nhs expects the numbers suffering to rise. joe inwood, bbc news. the owner of twitter, elon musk, has limited the number of tweets users can read in a day. he says unverified accounts are now limited to reading 1,000 posts a day. for new univerified accounts — it's 500. and for �*verified' accounts — that you have to pay for — it's 10,000 posts a day. musk says the limits tackle what he says is �*extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation�*. nick waters is from bellingcat, an open source investigative journalism organisation. we collect images, videos from events and use them to establish what has happened.

so, basically, every significant physical event that takes place, something that's really extreme, will create a digital ripple. and so what we do is we find that digital ripple — the images, the videos, the text posts — of events that have taken place and we use that to reconstruct that event. so, we use twitter quite a lot. twitter acts as the central node in an information network. you will have information coming in from various different sources, telegram, other social media, news outlets, individuals, and what twitter does is it collects it into one place where you can look at it. so the impact is pretty significant and immediate. some people who i know have already had it affect them. it basically means that tracking events is going to be a lot harder. so, if you think back a week ago, where mr prigozhin marched on moscow with wagner, everyone was following where his column was and who was doing what by looking at twitter and looking at the posts that people

were bringing into twitter. during that day, i must have looked at many tens of thousands of posts, whereas under the current rules i would have probably stopped at about kind of 9am in the morning. so it has a pretty significant impact that is hitting people now. yeah, it's going to have a pretty significant impact on people's ability to actually follow the news. 0ur our thanks to nick waters for that. in australia, rallies have taken place across australia advocating for the constitution to recognise the country's indigenous people, ahead of a referendum on the issue later this year. it will ask australians whether they support a change to the constitution to create a body which would make representations to parliament and government relating to indigenous communities. polls suggest the vote — which is expected in october or november — has seen a recent dip in support. let's get some of the day's other news now. an environmental campaign group has accused a british energy giant of trading russian gas more than a year after a pledge to pull out of the country.

global witness says its analysis has found shell handled nearly an eighth of russia's liquified natural gas exports by sea last year and is still buying tankers laden with gas. shell says the shipments are part of long—term contracts it can t break. austria — which is not a nato member — has announced plans to join the european sky shield initiative to help to protect it from any drone or missile attacks. the country's chancellor says no european state could effectively defend its airspace against new dangers on its own. and sri lanka has repatriated an elephant gifted by thailand, after the thai authorities complained it was being mistreated. the animal was presented by the thai royal family two decades ago — but demanded it back after allegation it was being tortured and neglected at a buddhist temple. the four—tonne elephant was flown out of colombo on a specially chartered plane.

now it's time for a look at today's sport with jane dougall. hello. it will be a tough final day for england in the second ashes test after losing the first. they need 257 runs to level the series. 0nly only six wickets in hand. captain ben stokes is unbeaten on 39. he will need a lot of runs to rack up today. ben duckett obviously unbeaten as well, he passed his half—century yesterday but after a controversial moment when he was caught. the decision was overturned because mitchell starc rolled the ball on the ground as he slid. england at 131—11. their target is 371. it was an eventful days for the yates family yesterday — as identical twin brothers adam and simon went toe—to—toe in a brilliant opening stage to this

year's tour de france. it was eventually adam who came out on top in the final stages, pipping his brother to line and taking the leader's yellow jersey to secure his first tour stage win. another hilly stage awaits the riders today as they'll complete another 130 miles — that gets under way shortly. you know what i wore yellow a couple of years ago but it was different, it didn't feel great. then i ended up it didn't feel great. then i ended up in a jersey, whereas this time i put my hand in the air and here i am. so really happy and took some bonus seconds as well. i think it was the perfect day. meanwhile, stage three of the women's giro d'italia is already under way. friday's opening stage had to be abandoned due to heavy rain. the second stage passed without major incident. defending champion annemiek van vleuten got off to the perfect start with a 100th career win. at a0 years and 266 days, the three—time champion became

the giro�*s oldest stage winner. lizzie deignan was the best placed british rider, finishing 26th. formula one world champion max verstappen can achieve a clean sweep of success if he takes sunday's austrian grand prix. that's after he added the sprint race victory to topping the time sheets in every other session at the red bull ring. there was a tussle between the dutchman and his team mate sergio perez at the start of the sprint. verstappen felt perez had forced him off the track, so returned the favour shortly afterwards. verstappen showed his annoyance post race, but insisted there were no issues between the pair. 0ut out of turn one i had a good run after a poor start. at the time, it looked like he just pushed after a poor start. at the time, it looked like hejust pushed me off into the grass and it could have been a big shunt. that's why immediately after the race i wanted to have a chatjust to ask its vision of it and he said he didn't see me so i trust his word.

we're just a day away from the start of wimbledon — and despite not being the top seed in the men's draw, novak djokovic is certainly the favourite. he's won 23 grand slams, including seven wimbledon titles. however, it's the young spaniard carlos alcaraz who could cause an upset — he is the top seed and a potential threat to the defending champion, but djokovic insists he doesn't think about that. i don't need to have carlos or anybody else really to find that extra drive and motivation when i enter slams because i know that i have to win seven matches to win a title. so whoever i get to face across the net is, you know, it doesn't make a difference for me. well, the women's world number one and top seed iga swiatek is in good form, coming off the back of her third french open title in four years after winning in paris three weeks ago. and she says she feels more relaxed going into this years wimbledon. last year, i felt a lot of pressure

here because i was world number one and i don't know, ifeel like this time, actually, that was the first year where i could just focus on practising and actually learning a lot. so hopefully i'm going to be able to use that on my matches and for sure, able to use that on my matches and forsure, getting able to use that on my matches and for sure, getting used to the grass was always a tricky part because when you play well at roland garros, you have less time to prepare for wimbledon. you have less time to prepare for wimbledon-— you have less time to prepare for wimbledon. ., ., ., ~ , ., wimbledon. coverage of wimbledon across the bbc _ wimbledon. coverage of wimbledon across the bbc and _ wimbledon. coverage of wimbledon across the bbc and more _ wimbledon. coverage of wimbledon across the bbc and more details - wimbledon. coverage of wimbledon across the bbc and more details on | across the bbc and more details on all of those stories on the bbc website and app. that is all for now, lewis. thank you, jane. now, let's take a look at what's happening in uk politics. earlier this week, the british prime minster announced a long term plan for the nhs workforce, committing £2.11 billion over the next five years. the health secretary steve barclay was asked this morning where the money for this would come from, it will be announced through the normal process, with the chancellor at the next fiscal event.

it's something he has long championed and been hugely supportive of, as indeed has the prime minister. so we're being clear — as a government, we're going to prioritise what is the biggest workforce expansion in the nhs�*s history. 0ur correspondent tony bonsignore brought us up to date on the other developments in uk politics this morning. so, the fallout from last week's nhs long—term workforce plan is still playing out and crucially, they have a big anniversary this week. 75th anniversary of the national health service here in the uk, a much loved institution of course. an institution of course. an institution under huge amounts of pressure as health care systems are around the world. we heard this morning, talking to our own laura kuenssberg, amanda prichard. she is head of the nhs and she was talking about some of the pressures facing the nhs, both in the long term but in the short term as well. here is

giving payments to teachers to encourage them to stay in the profession and also essentially making sure there is more qualifications to make it more established as a profession. but before we get to any of that, there are more strikes ahead. any parent in the uk knows this. at the moment, they are waiting for the e—mail from school to know if their school will be shut or not and there were questions about whether labour would give their pay rise to teachers that they want. this is what bridget philipson had to say. my they want. this is what bridget philipson had to say. my priority in m focus philipson had to say. my priority in my focus would — philipson had to say. my priority in my focus would be _ philipson had to say. my priority in my focus would be having - philipson had to say. my priority in my focus would be having proper l philipson had to say. my priority in i my focus would be having proper and serious _ my focus would be having proper and serious negotiations with the teaching unions to try and get a way through— teaching unions to try and get a way through this, on pay, on workload, on the _ through this, on pay, on workload, on the status of the profession and on the status of the profession and on wider— on the status of the profession and on wider issues we see across education _ on wider issues we see across education. that isn't happening. it is the _ education. that isn't happening. it is the secretary of state's failure to get— is the secretary of state's failure to get that to happen that means this week— to get that to happen that means this week we're going to see more disruption — this week we're going to see more disruption. it is on them. that is an irresponsible reckless approach. pressed _ an irresponsible reckless approach. pressed repeatedly, you heard bridget philipson declining to

in florida on saturday. it will make a huge 3d map of the cosmos to help astronomers understand more about dark matter. 0ur reporter david lumb has more. five, four, three, i two, one — igniton. heading to space to solve one of science's biggest questions — what is the universe made of? the euclid telescope was launched from florida on a falcon nine rocket yesterday. falcon nine has successfully lifted off from pad 40 and throttled down to prepare for max g, which is coming up at t—plus one minute and 12 seconds. dispatched to an observation position 1.5 million kilometres from earth. it's hoping to give us the next bit of the puzzle to what this dark universe really is. 95% of the universe is dark,

it doesn't shine, and we have to observe it through other means. we know something about it, but we don't know all of the things about the dark substance in the universe, so euclid really is the next step in our discovery of what this stuff is that makes up most of our universe. euclid will be making a vast, 3d map of the cosmos. the hope is to shed light on the properties of so—called dark matter, which helps galaxies keep their shape, and dark energy, the force driving the expansion of the universe. researchers concede that, at the moment, they know virtually nothing about them. stage separation confirmed. applause the european space agency is behind the mission, with significant input from nasa. it will take six years to complete.

that is it, i am lewis vaughan jones, this is bbc news. hello. a fairly fresh feeling july is to open a fl fresh7 gambling is to open a fl fresh feeling .ing is to open a fl fresh feeling july day out there today. we have the day out there today. we breeze coming in from the west or north—west. in general, things looking bright and breezy for most of us. some showers in the forecast but the bulk of them will be across the northern half of the uk. further south, longer spells of dry and sunny weather. we have low pressure sitting to the north—east of scotland, drifting toward scandinavia slowly. the winds are rotating around that area of low pressure and we are seeing more persistent rain sitting in the far north of mainland scotland up towards 0rkney. showers elsewhere in scotland, a couple in northern ireland and northern england. could be the odd of thunder for central scotland. further south, you should

avoid most of those showers. very few and far between. temperatures range between 14—22 north to south. fairly typical for the time of year but the breeze taking the edge off the temperature. most of the showers is a way so things become largely dry through this evening and tonight. we have more cloud unlike patchy rain in the north of scotland again and the next weather system arrives in the west during the early hours. 0vernight lows of around 10-14 but still hours. 0vernight lows of around 10—14 but stillan hours. 0vernight lows of around 10—14 but still an unsettled picture monday because we have got some areas are low pressure, you can some areas are low pressure, you can see some areas are low pressure, you can see this frontal system moving on from the west. that will bring some rain to southern parts of northern ireland doesn't later in the day, it drift eastwards a across wales and england. scotland seen another day of sunshine or sales but i don't think they will be as frequent as the showers we are seeing today and less on the way of any thunder risk as well. 13—20 out up temperatures, and little below par for the stage in july and as and little below par for the stage injuly and as the rain sweeps in towards the south—east, just a chance we could catch a shower or two at wimbledon during the

afternoon. the cloud thickens but any of those showers should be passing through fairly quickly i think they are. tuesday, another area of low pressure arrives at the southern parts of the uk. some uncertainty about the detail of when and where we will see the rain but looks like a pretty wet day on tuesday across southern parts of england and wales, where as further north, sunshine and scattered showers. some of them quite heavy and frequent as well. all in all, a breezy and unsettled day on tuesday. 13 iva 19, so it will feel rather cool for this time of year. cool and unsettled over the next few days but it looks like things done warm and drier at least in the south as we look towards the end of the week. clinics this summer — bye—bye.

this is bbc news, the headlines... two people have been killed in a mass shooting in the us city of baltimore, and around 30 people are reported to have been taken to hospital. a search is under way for the gunman. more than 700 people have been arrested in france during a fifth night of protests in response to the fatal shooting of a 17—year—old boy by police. twitter has announced limits on the number of posts people can see each day. 0wner elon musk says paying subscribers can view 10,000 tweets — with others limited to as few as 500. and in england, the national health service
