hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. law enforcement response at robb elementary school on may 2a, 2022 and in the hours and days after was a failure that should not have happened. during and after the 77 minutes, families and survivors received unclear and sometimes conflicting information about where to go to reunite with their loved ones. i hope that the failures end today, and that local officials... - she cries. ..do what wasn't done that day, do right by the victims- and survivors of robb elementary. i think we're going to continue fighting, we are going to continue fighting that some type of change is made, in honour of our kids.

the second worst school shooting in american history, 19 children and two teachers slaughtered, while police waited outside. the us justice department has just published its long—awaited report into the mass shooting at the robb elementary school in uvalde, texas. we will get reaction to that. our panel this evening — from california, the republican strategist lanhee chen, and in glasgow the former labour leader kesia dugdale. also in our programme... only 10% of voters under 50 would support the conservatives at the next election. that's is the lowest level of support for the tory since the last days of liz truss. and this hour, we will keep an eye on the failed lunar lander peregrine which is about to burn up over the south pacific. good evening.

the families of those who died in the uvalde shooting nearly two years ago, don't need a report to know that law enforcement failed them. for over an hour, the children were locked in a school classroom with an active shooter, while those with guns and shields took cover, and waited outside. today the us justice deparment released a 600—page document that concluded the de—facto commander on the scene that day had began treating the incident "as a barricade scenario — not as an active shooter situation". footage from cctv showed police standing in the school corridor and even when they did finally get in to confront this man, they had no plan to triage the 35 victims who were rescued, many of whom who had been shot. the us attorney general — merrick garland who went to uvalde and met with survivors and families of those who died said there were a series of majorfailures. the law enforcement response at robb elementary school on may 2a, 2022, and in the hours and days

after, was a failure that should not have happened. we hope to honour the victims and the survivors by working together to try to prevent anything like this from ever happening again, here or anywhere. our children deserve better than to grow up in a country where an 18—year—old has easy access to a weapon that belongs on the battlefield, not in the classroom. and communities across the country and the law enforcement officers who protect them deserve better than to be forced to respond to one horrific mass shooting after another, but that is the terrible reality that we face.

had such overwhelming force on their side. but they didn't, why?— side. but they didn't, why? exactly, and the report _ side. but they didn't, why? exactly, and the report says _ side. but they didn't, why? exactly, and the report says these _ side. but they didn't, why? exactly, and the report says these are - side. but they didn't, why? exactly, and the report says these are the i and the report says these are the well—established procedures that officers are trained to go towards the threat, gain entry and take down the threat, gain entry and take down the gunman essentially, but this didn't happen because a really key error that was made quite early on after officers arrived on the scene. it was deemed that they were dealing with a situation in which they thought someone had barricaded themselves into a room and they didn't identify the fact that this was a very dangerous situation with an active shooter. a key mistake was made. and then that led to multiple failings one after another, so officers were directed to retreat from the classroom instead of gaining entry. there was time spent looking for keys, looking in a caretakers office, trying to find keys to open classrooms rather than just forcing entry because of course the need was so immediate. so of course all this time was wasted and there are hundreds of pages in this report which makes it very

frustrating, very emotional, distressing reading because of all the failures and missed opportunities are laid bare. so it's very difficult day for families of victims. forsome very difficult day for families of victims. for some degree, we know that their concerns are validated, there was a media criticism after there was a media criticism after the tragedy happened in 2022, now this report was commissioned but they had to wait all this time to really see their fears, their frustrations, criticism is now put in black—and—white in this report. but it doesn't look like this will be the end of the matter, there is also a criminal investigation ongoing, alongside this. and some of the families want to seek criminal prosecutions against the officers who they believed failed them on that day. who they believed failed them on that da . , ,.,, who they believed failed them on thatda. , ., ., that day. the purpose of an investigation _ that day. the purpose of an investigation like _ that day. the purpose of an investigation like this, - that day. the purpose of an - investigation like this, obviously, is to change protocol, procedures, to ensure it doesn't happen again. what is thejustice department proposing? what is the justice department promising?— proposing? there's a lot of recommendations - proposing? there's a lot of recommendations in - proposing? there's a lot of recommendations in this . proposing? there's a lot of - recommendations in this report. and the mayor's office and the city of

uvalde, mass shootings take place very often in the united states, there are these established procedures that are already in place. on this day, it's not that theyjust place. on this day, it's not that they just simply weren't followed. for the officers involved, there was particular criticisms for the officer that he came de facto in charge, he was the one that gave the order for the officers to retreat but there wasn't this command structure, he had left radios in his car thinking he didn't need them and therefore gave verbal instructions over a mobile phone rather than setting up a clear chain of command that would've helped. there's all this missed medication that led to the chaos and the feelings that we've seen documented in the report today so there is a lot of hope now that this would not be repeated in future, and apologies to families of victims and lots of promises as this report has come out that this won't happen again and that procedures

will be followed in the future. emma, thank you very much for that. let's move then to our panel about it. lanhee, i'll come to you first. the biggest concern that an 18—year—old had access to a weapon that belongs on the battlefield and not in the classroom. but they won't be here anything that takes this weapon off the streets. taste be here anything that takes this weapon off the streets. we have seen, weapon off the streets. we have seen. tragically. _ weapon off the streets. we have seen, tragically, too _ weapon off the streets. we have seen, tragically, too many- weapon off the streets. we have seen, tragically, too many of. weapon off the streets. we have i seen, tragically, too many of these events— seen, tragically, too many of these events in— seen, tragically, too many of these events in the united states. and rather— events in the united states. and rather than be a clarion call for change. — rather than be a clarion call for change, whether it means law enforcement is handling these or deating _ enforcement is handling these or dealing with the scourge of gun violence — dealing with the scourge of gun violence in the us, we don't ever seem _ violence in the us, we don't ever seem to — violence in the us, we don't ever seem to see _ violence in the us, we don't ever seem to see action. and that's the most _ seem to see action. and that's the most frustrating part probably in some _ most frustrating part probably in some ways for people who have observed — some ways for people who have observed this or in the more awful situation _ observed this or in the more awful situation have had to deal with it in person — situation have had to deal with it in person. the reality is that you know, _ in person. the reality is that you know. we — in person. the reality is that you know, we can have all sorts of conversations about what the right procedures and the right changes are, trut—

procedures and the right changes are, but until those are actual effectuated, until policymakers take it seriously and make changes, it's going _ it seriously and make changes, it's going to _ it seriously and make changes, it's going to be — it seriously and make changes, it's going to be difficult to imagine that something hopefully not as horrific— that something hopefully not as horrific as uvalde, a similar event might— horrific as uvalde, a similar event might happen in the united states again~ _ might happen in the united states again i_ might happen in the united states again. i think the challenge here is how to _ again. i think the challenge here is how to make it so we don't enter into a _ how to make it so we don't enter into a polarising situation where this information is not automatically taken and interpreted differently by people who think differently by people who think differently politically. i think there — differently politically. i think there is— differently politically. i think there is a fairly straightforward set of— there is a fairly straightforward set of answers here and hopefully policymakers can begin to understand that, but _ policymakers can begin to understand that, but christian... now policymakers can begin to understand that, but christian. . .— that, but christian... now are you suggesting _ that, but christian... now are you suggesting those _ that, but christian... now are you suggesting those solutions - that, but christian... now are you suggesting those solutions are . that, but christian... now are you | suggesting those solutions are and how you police this, how you change the protocols of what police do in those situations, or are you suggesting that the solutions are to take the guns out of the hands of 18—year—olds who might have difficulties? 18-year-olds who might have difficulties?— 18-year-olds who might have difficulties? yeah, well look, i think there's _ difficulties? yeah, well look, i think there's multiple - difficulties? yeah, well look, i think there's multiple things l difficulties? yeah, well look, i. think there's multiple things that have to _ think there's multiple things that have to happen. certainly in respect

to the _ have to happen. certainly in respect to the possession of firearms, we have _ to the possession of firearms, we have to _ to the possession of firearms, we have to look at common sense gun laws, _ have to look at common sense gun laws, we _ have to look at common sense gun laws, we have to look at things like certain— laws, we have to look at things like certain kinds of restrictions on assault— certain kinds of restrictions on assault weapons style weapons. we have to _ assault weapons style weapons. we have to look at certain other kinds of restrictions with respect to mental— of restrictions with respect to mental health and the interplay between mental health and the possession of firearms. and then separately— possession of firearms. and then separately from that, there is a whole _ separately from that, there is a whole set — separately from that, there is a whole set of conversations about the i’i l ht whole set of conversations about the right protocol, so right integration between _ right protocol, so right integration between local and federal law enforcement. so all that has to happen, — enforcement. so all that has to happen, there is no single thing that causes this kind of strategy. as lanhee — that causes this kind of strategy. as lanhee says, far too many tragic events in schools. and i'm bound to ask you, to talk about the ongoing, because we had one such situation in a school in scotland in the protocols and laws have changed, but at the end of the day it was about

control of the guns and it made a huge difference. we are very different country and guess the americans would pointed us and look at our knife culture and how we have failed to get a grip on that. is it not about taking the gun out of the hands of people who have mental illnesses? ., �* , ., illnesses? you're quite right, you can't help but _ illnesses? you're quite right, you can't help but look— illnesses? you're quite right, you can't help but look at _ illnesses? you're quite right, you can't help but look at these - illnesses? you're quite right, you. can't help but look at these stories in britain and be reminded of what happened, i was school in dunn lane, and the response to that, absolutely horrendous horrific event was in the united kingdom was to ban handguns, it really was that simple. and of course we often struggle talking about this united kingdom looking at the us, we don't have the same culture and debate at about the right to bear arms, it's not the same kind of factor in british society. we do have the problem with knives and the rest of it, we don't

just receive these type of events of mass shootings of utterly innocent children, it's important to recognise though that these events will keep happening for as long as americans can bear arms, even if the laws become stricter and it looks like itjust will be the reality of that constitutional right. if you accept that that's what you want in your country then you have to make sure that you have the best possible policies in place and the best possible people in place to make sure that you limit that loss of life and that's what's utterly failed here. even worse to think it could have been avoided if people had done what they were supposed to do. taste had done what they were supposed to do. ~ , ., ., , do. we will see if there are any criminal prosecutions _ do. we will see if there are any criminal prosecutions in - do. we will see if there are any criminal prosecutions in resultl criminal prosecutions in result of that report. we'll move on. keeping an eye on events in sheffield, the fire service in sheffield has reported that there is a fire at a

power station, anyone living nearby, the police say, should keep their doors and windows closed, the fire service has said please avoid the area while the crews work. it's not clear what the incident is, or how serious it is at this moment, of course we'll keep you posted as we get more on that situation. a us spacecraft that malfunctioned on the way to the moon is returning to earth around now. it's due to burn up in the earth's atmosphere in a fireball over the south pacific ocean. it's a dramatic finale to a mission that initially looked so good. but soon after launch, the peregrine lander suffered a major fuel leak and that made a soft landing on the moon impossible. nasa say they have gathered data while it had fuel remaining. but the decision was taken to bring it back to earth, over the south pacific, rather than leave more space junk up there.

let's speak to our science correspondentjonathan amos. so what, tell us how this is going to unfold, jonathan. i’m so what, tell us how this is going to unfold, jonathan.— so what, tell us how this is going to unfold, jonathan. i'm looking at all the sources _ to unfold, jonathan. i'm looking at all the sources at _ to unfold, jonathan. i'm looking at all the sources at the _ to unfold, jonathan. i'm looking at all the sources at the moment, . all the sources at the moment, waiting for confirmation that the peregrine lender has actually reentered the earth's atmosphere and burned up. i think it probably should have come in by now, wejust need the confirmation either from asked robotic, the company that was, or nasa as well. we were expecting it to come in high over an archipelago in the south pacific about 1700 km east of australia about 1700 km east of australia about 1000 miles. there's about a tonne of hard work, just over, i think, that should have started to melt, vaporise about 18 km up. very little of it would have made it to

the pacific ocean, the surface. but as you say we need confirmation. they would've had a signal, radio signal all the way as they came in, and when that signal went down at the expected time, at the various tracking stations that would have been confirmation that it was down. but we need somebody, from astrobotics or from nasa to put their hand up. the astrobotics or from nasa to put their hand up.— their hand up. the reason i was interested _ their hand up. the reason i was interested whether _ their hand up. the reason i was interested whether any - their hand up. the reason i was interested whether any of - their hand up. the reason i was interested whether any of this i their hand up. the reason i was - interested whether any of this would end up in the water, its notjust thejunk, there were human remains on the lander, some of it was supposed to be deposited on the moon. and in fact we have the ceo of the company that put all this together, some of it was going to get to the moon, some of it was going to go to deep space. is it now a burial at sea, or is it not?- a burial at sea, or is it not? well, i mean a burial at sea, or is it not? well, i mean there _ a burial at sea, or is it not? well, i mean there were _ a burial at sea, or is it not? well, i mean there were some - a burial at sea, or is it not? well, | i mean there were some cremated remains on board, there's a couple of us companies that for a few

thousand dollars will send a small catchment of your cremated remains into space. these companies have been operating for a couple of decades now, they are well—known. and they had payload space on this lander. gene roddenberry, the creator of star trek, some of his ashes were on the lander. they also had some ashes, too, on the rocket that took peregrine up, along with other star trek actors, scotty, bones, and lieutenant who. bones, and lieutenant uhura who. nasa has kind of sad, we look at it, will have a committee and discuss

these matters, but on this occasion they didn't step in to stop it. but very little of the spacecraft, if anything, is going to make it through to the surface. jennifer, thank ou through to the surface. jennifer, thank you very _ through to the surface. jennifer, thank you very much _ through to the surface. jennifer, thank you very much for - through to the surface. jennifer, thank you very much for that. i through to the surface. jennifer, thank you very much for that. 10 two, i wonder what people are going to make of this. there is here from presidents on this lander, jfk, with dwight eisenhower, surely they didn't die expecting that some of their strands of hair would burn up over the pacific ocean. it’s their strands of hair would burn up over the pacific ocean.— over the pacific ocean. it's a tremendous _ over the pacific ocean. it's a tremendous loss _ over the pacific ocean. it's a tremendous loss for - over the pacific ocean. it's a tremendous loss for the i over the pacific ocean. it's a i tremendous loss for the american people. _ tremendous loss for the american people, not to... tremendous loss for the american peeple. not t0- - -_ tremendous loss for the american people, not to... while, the lander, orthe hair? — people, not to... while, the lander, or the hair? for _ people, not to... while, the lander, or the hair? for those _ people, not to... while, the lander, or the hair? for those deceased i or the hair? for those deceased presidents. _ or the hair? for those deceased presidents. i— or the hair? for those deceased presidents, i think— or the hair? for those deceased presidents, i think more - or the hair? for those deceased | presidents, i think more broadly or the hair? for those deceased i presidents, i think more broadly the chattenge _ presidents, i think more broadly the challenge is that, at least in the us, we — challenge is that, at least in the us, we do— challenge is that, at least in the us, we do have a debate going on about— us, we do have a debate going on about the — us, we do have a debate going on about the nature of and the amount of investment we want to put into the space — of investment we want to put into the space programme and into space exploration. this is actually a

of 75 different journeys. arnold schwarzenegger has been detained at a german airport for allegedly failing to declare a luxury watch he was planning to auction for charity. according to eu rules, anyone arriving with "cash or certain valuable items" over 10,000 euros must declare it. an investigation for alleged tax evasion was launched as the watch was intended to be sold within the eu. an amber warning for heavy snow is in place in scotland after most of the uk had the coldest night of winter so far. the met office have warned snow showers will affect the northern isles and northwest scotland and could disrupt travel, power, and communications. yellow warnings for ice and snow are also in place in all four uk nations. you're live with bbc news. have the conservatives given up? it's a question everyone is asking at the moment, after another damaging week

of infighting over the rwanda bill which has dragged them to their lowest level in the polling since liz truss. which lets face is a bar that should be easy to clear. the latest yougov poll has labour on 47 % — that is a 27—point lead over the tories on 20. on this polling — all the so called �*red wall�* — mainly working class seats that borisjohnson won in 2019 — would return to labour. seperately a michael ashcroft poll revealed that right now voters would trust labour more than rishi sunak to deliver on his five pledges. today — rishi sunak urged the lords to get behind the rwanda plan after mps voted it through the house of commons last night. the legislation, which aims to stop legal challenges to sending asylum seekers to rwanda, was passed by 44 votes, but 11 of his own mps voted against it. here he is this morning. this is an urgent national priority. the treaty with rwanda is signed and the legislation which deems rwanda a safe country has been passed unamended in

our elected chamber. there's only one question — will the opposition and the appointed house of lords try and frustrate the will of the people as expressed by the elected house or will they get on board and do the right thing? for more on this, i'm joined by political analyst extraordanaire professor sirjohn curtice. who no doubt is drilled into these numbers. let me ask this question from a conservative perspective, john. if you were advising the conservatives on what to do next, if you were looking at this poll, what could you highlight that would be of some encouragement, is there anything? some encouragement, is there an hina? , some encouragement, is there an hina? ., ,�* , anything? this pole doesn't give us mus room for— anything? this pole doesn't give us mus room for information - anything? this pole doesn't give us mus room for information about i mus room for information about voting intention, ashcroft�*s pole is given a lot more information. let's take a couple points away from particularly lord ashcroft�*s pole.

around over a third of voters regarded as the most important to rishi sunak�*s, it appeals to conservative voters but hardly to anybody else. but moving more broadly to the governments difficulty and how it's going to persuade voters, scourge of taxation over the pot course of the last four years is to be defended, probably vital message for the conservative party from lord ashcroft�*s poll, if you ask them to choose between saying he wants to introduce more of in the spring, he's already had one cut before christmas, voters faced

with that choice think that it's more important to sort out our public services than it is to reduce tax cuts so, know, from this in other words what you should draw the message is one, the conservative party and focusing on immigration is focusing on an issue that is indeed of particular concern, whether persuades them from voting conservative, that's another matter. as far as appealing to the wider electorate is concerned, need to appear well well beyond the 25% or so that are on average in the opinion polls the conservatives have think some of the strategy they are currently involved.— currently involved. more tax cuts, and more on _ currently involved. more tax cuts, and more on public— currently involved. more tax cuts, and more on public service, i currently involved. more tax cuts, j and more on public service, that's the antithesis of the republican standpoint in washington. these to say, john, the path to downing street since we got cosy with others, ran through the scottish constituencies, is that still the

play case, do they still need a renewal at scottish laboured to command a majority? hat renewal at scottish laboured to command a majority? command a ma'ority? not necessarily. toda in command a ma'ority? not necessarily. today in the — command a majority? not necessarily. today in the poll. _ command a majority? not necessarily. today in the poll, forget _ command a majority? not necessarily. today in the poll, forget it, _ command a majority? not necessarily. today in the poll, forget it, get - command a majority? not necessarily. today in the poll, forget it, get a i today in the poll, forget it, get a very substantial majority given those kinds of figures, if you take the average of the opinion polls, at around 19 points that would be enough to deliver a labour party majority simply in england and wales. what the party is concerned about is the lead in the opinion polls will be narrowed by the election therefore picking up some seats in scotland will otherwise ease the path might the absence of those seats results in a minority labour party administration. if they retain the kind of poll lead that they have had back in october 2022 what happens in scotland will end up

tomorrow will change slightly, more towards the west with more of a westerly wind, staying cold and then turning milder, wetter and very windy as we head through the weekend and the start of next week. now, overnight tonight, there'll still be some snow showers across these western hills in particular, perhaps driving further eastwards. icy stretches, brisk westerly winds blowing. a few wintry showers for northern areas of northern ireland, icy stretches certainly here. and there'll be some freezing fog patches forming, most likely, i think, across the east midlands, perhaps into eastern areas of wales. a sharp widespread frost yet again, but not quite as cold for most as it was last night. and then tomorrow, we start to draw in more of a south—westerly wind. it'll start to feel a little less cold through the day. still plenty of snow showers through the morning across these north—western hills of scotland, but turning increasingly back to rain and sleet to lower levels. still some hill snow, though, as we go through the afternoon. a few wintry showers maybe for northern ireland, but for most, it will stay dry and temperatures more widely will rise to between 4 and 6 degrees celsius, turning windier towards those

western coasts later on through the day. and then as we head through friday night, our high pressure starts to spill away towards the east, allowing for these weather fronts to approach from the atlantic. they're going to drive their way eastwards, bringing strong winds — look at the squeeze in the isobars — and some heavy downpours of rain as we head through the weekend, but also some much milder air. so, in a little more detail, i think many of us will wake up to temperatures just slightly above freezing as we head through the day on saturday, perhaps a little bit below towards the south—east of england. there'll be some heavy rain, particularly out towards western coasts, and some strong, gusty winds at times, too, but temperatures starting to rise. we could even see double figures for western areas as we head through the afternoon on saturday potentially. here's the outlook for our capital cities. already, met office weather warnings in force for heavy rain, for strong, gusty winds through the day on sunday as another front pushes its way eastwards. but much milder conditions, 12 or 13 degrees celsius, later in the weekend.
