eight wickets. both teams needed a win to stay with a chance of the top four but england's hopes now very much on a thread, if at all possible for them to maintain the defence of their world cup trophy. that is all their world cup trophy. that is all the support us now. see you then. —— the support us now. see you then. —— the sport. let's return to a developing story in the us. at least 16 people, possibly as many as 22 have been killed in a mass shooting. around 50 others are reported to be injured. it happened in the city of lewiston a maine on the east coast of the us. the gunmen targeted multiple locations including a bowling alley and is still at large. a manhunt is across the state for a us army reservist who is believed to be suffering from mental health issues with residents told to stay at home. we know that gun violence is part of everyday life in america and a very divisive issue. we have been looking at the number of mass shootings in the us. according to the data, mass shootings are on the
2:49 pm
rise in the us. so far this year there have been more than 500 mass shootings according to the gun violence archive, and they measure mass shootings as incidents in which four or more people have been injured or killed. and if you take a look at the three years prior, there have been more than 600 mass shootings for each year. that's almost two per day on average and the worst mass shooting in the us was in las vegas in 2017 and killed more than 50 people and left 500 injured. it's important to note that mass shootings leave fewer than ten people dead on average. we often talk about mass shootings and homicides, often because they are covered more prominently in the media but it's worth talking about suicides and if you look at the figures in 2021, more than half of gun —related deaths were suicides. that is according to the centre for disease control and prevention. in
2:50 pm
2021 was a record—breaking year. these gun —related deaths rose by nearly 8% compared to the previous year. let's take a bigger look at the overall global picture and as you can see here more than 80% of all homicides were gun —related killings and that is starkly different to what you see in england and wales, canada, australia, as well as several other countries and if you look at gun ownership. again, the us figures are far surpassing those of other countries. and according to the small arms survey, according to the small arms survey, a swiss research project, in 2018 now calculated there were more guns than people in the us. and according to the data so far, gun ownership in the us has risen since. so, lewiston is in lockdown as the manhunt is ongoing and this is a live picture we have from maine and you can see the road he has been blocked. we
2:51 pm
know some of the states close to maine like new hampshire are also on high alert as this manhunt continues and the police say they are monitoring the situation have asked people in new hampshire to be vigilant so we are keeping across the story and will bring you any updates as we get them. thousands of people who worked with the british government in afghanistan and then fled the taliban are still waiting to be relocated. pakistan has ordered all unregistered afghan refugees to leave the country by the 1st of november or face repatriation. leave the country by the 1st of november orface repatriation. we november or face repatriation. we report november orface repatriation. we report from islamabad. life in a hotel room, no legal right to work or go to school. for months, afghan refugees including translators for the british army and their families have waited here to be sent to the uk. frustrated, some feel forgotten.

let's ta ke let's take you back to the live picture we have our gaza right now, clearly there has been another air strike there. and we have not had the expected ground invasion in gaza but we did see an extensive overnight raid by the israeli defence force and they call it targeted, and speaking to bbc they said the raid was preparation for the next stages of combat. the idf saying they eliminated terrorist but there were no israeli injuries, but there were no israeli injuries, but the air strikes continuing on this comes as the hamas run health ministry says 7000 people had been killed since the air strikes on gaza began, so that's an increase of 500 killed since wednesday. israelis say that air strikes hit 250 hamas targets in the past 24 hours, and the un are desperately saying they
2:55 pm
need more fuel, water, more aid, more supplies and they are short of all of those across the gaza strip. stay with us on bbc news. hello there. it's been a very wet october for some of us, not for all of us, but especially wet across central and eastern areas of england, and particularly for eastern scotland. now, low pressure is out towards the west of the uk on thursday. it's not really moving anywhere over the next few days, so again, it stays unsettled for the end of october. there will be heavy showers, longer spells of rain and once more, it is looking particularly wet for eastern scotland. in fact, there are still met office weather warnings in place for eastern scotland, valid until sunday. the rainfall totals are once again likely to stack up here, as you can see on our rainfall accumulation chart. and of course, that rain is going to be falling on already very saturated ground. this is the picture in aberdeenshire today. the rain feeding through on a south—easterly wind, but it is not raining everywhere. there is some sunshine around,
2:56 pm
it is best out towards the south and west, but expect some heavy showers here, and possibly one or two heavy showers across the isle of wight. again, falling on saturated ground, but it is certainly a drier day here than yesterday. the heaviest of the rain here across the afternoon in eastern areas of england, particularly the north and the south east scotland. temperatures once again peaking between 11 and 15 and 16 celsius in the south, just slightly above the seasonal average. 0vernight tonight, we will still see some outbreaks of rain across north—eastern areas of england, this front very slow—moving, again, that rain into eastern scotland. elsewhere, some clear spells, a few showers, we could see some mist and fog patches forming, particularly across central and southern england, temperatures down to between seven and nine celsius. so, a frost—free start to friday, when again not a lot is set to change. we've still got low pressure out towards the west, these showers spiralling around it, some of the showers could be heavy and thundery in nature. again, we still got this south—easterly wind feeding those showers through into eastern scotland. more showers moving in from the south west, further south, but also some sunny intervals as well.
2:57 pm
temperatures once again between ten and 15 celsius for most of us. things could start to change a little as we head into saturday. still plenty of wet weather around, heavy, thundery showers towards the south, and this will turn into heavy, more persistent rain, i think, just pushing into the south of england as we head through the afternoon, especially into the evening. so, there are localised weather warnings in force here. that heavy rain is likely to be further north as we head through saturday night and into sunday. so staying very unsettled.
