a student. 32—year—old man from rotterdam. he was also the student community is done. not only is one of their members are suspected of multiple mode is but one of the lecturers is among the dead. let me take you through the events of the day. it was just after lunchtime and that police received the first goal, shooting at an apartment block about two kilometres from here. 39—year—old woman and her 13—year—old daughter were killed. the suspect set fire to the apartment and then travelled here. not long after, police evacuated everyone possible, patients were brought out on stretchers, students in that medical gowns, doctors. some people were trapped though in classrooms and taped notes to the windows, letting emergency services know which room they were in and that they needed help. the government went through one of the

classrooms, setting fire. he was throwing volatile cocktails, some students said. he shot dead a male lecturer and then was detained by police underneath the helipad. footage shed on social media showed a man in combat style trousers in handcuffs. police have not released many more details by say he was on their radar. he was convicted, the suspect, two years ago of animal cruelty. the investigation continues and police asking anyone with information to come forward. on friday, classes at rotterdam university have been positive allow students time to grieve and reflect on what has been a very dark day for the city. and you can keep up with all developments on that story on the bbc website. we're tracking developments out of nagorno—karabakh, a landlocked area in the south caucasus mountains. it's internationally recognised as part of azerbaijan, but for three decades has been

controlled and largely occupied by armenians. well on thursday, the separatist leader of the region declared an end to the struggle for independence from azerbaijan, concluding more than 30 years of separatist rule. more than 70,000 ethnic armenians — well over half the population — have now left for neighbouring armenia. and more are expected to leave in the coming days. our eastern europe correspondent, sarah rainsford, has the very latest. the children of nagorno—karabakh have known two wars in their short lives. now, they've fled as refugees. the land they grew up on has been disputed for decades but for them, it was just home. theirfather, gevorg, fought for karabakh in 2020 and again last week, so i ask how he feels about leaving, about surrender. translation: very bad. it feels terrible? terribly bad. should it have been done differently? could you have got more help?

translation: what else could we do? _ i don't know. i'm too upset. i can't answer these questions. the armenian border town of goris has taken in so many refugees, some are sleeping in their cars — vehicles that now carry a life's worth of possessions. the exodus happened so quickly, many here still seem stunned. there is a giant scramble to help the tens of thousands in need, including the most vulnerable. donations are flooding in, scooped up by exhausted families who've often travelled for days to reach here. sophia and angelina are still recovering from their trip and from a day under fire in their village, right on the front line. mariam's husband was hit

by shrapnel then, but he didn't want to be filmed. the family are being hosted by a woman who fled nagorno—karabakh in the last war. now, she's helping a new wave of refugees. today, they all saw the official decree that their separatist republic, which they call artsakh, was being dissolved. translation: 30 years building our lives there, j then they say there is no artsakh any more. that is a tragedy for the armenian people. but we have no strength left to fight because we were left alone. we were abandoned. nagorno—karabakh is rapidly emptying out. but as they go, the ethnic armenians are not only leaving their homes and their property... spasiba. ..they are also surrendering their long dream of independence.

but the government has already said its advice would not be binding. supporters of the yes vote say indigenous australians feel powerless when tackling structural problems to improve their lives. these problems include disproportionately poorer health and education outcomes. the prime minister anthony albanese argues it would be a simple change to improve the lives of indigenous australians. if not now, when? that is an opportunity that does not belong to the politicians, it belongs to every australian equally. however, the country's opposition leader peter dutton says a yes vote could divide australians. he wants indigenous australians to be recognised in the constitution, but only symbolically.

i think it is the wrong thing for our country to enshrine a voice in the constitution and we should be very clear about that. the prime minister has the opportunity now to go to the opportunity now to go to the referendum on the 14th of october this year with a moment of unification for our country instead of division. the dividing question is do you support a voice, which is divisible, uniting captain is do you support... let's go live now to abc news australia correspondent isabella higgins. what are the major concerns no campaign is have?— campaign is have? well, the no camaian campaign is have? well, the no campaign is _ campaign is have? well, the no campaign is been _ campaign is have? well, the no campaign is been driven - campaign is have? well, the no campaign is been driven by - campaign is been driven by prominent indigenous australians and they have quite different views. we have what is often described as a conservative novated vote and the progressive no vote but take those terms with a grain of salt. on the conservative side, you have two very well—known indigenous leaders who are pushing the federal opposition message saying this referendum will be risky, that

it would be divisive, that it is permanent, that there is not enough detail around how this voice will actually work and it is telling australians that if you are unsure about this than vote no. now, on the other side you have what is sometimes called the progressive no campaign. is driven by a well—known indigenous senator called lidia thorpe. she runs what she calls the blackness of entry movement and she says she does not want this indigenous voice to parliament because she does not believe in constitutional change, she does not believe this model will help people. she was a federal government to engage in federal treaty with aboriginal people that she has been moving around australia this week going to remote indigenous communities trying to drum up support. it is interesting because within recent weeks, we have seen some people aligning with lidia thorpe on that progressive no side changing sides and saying they now support the gas fired because they are thinking about

what a no vote will mean. that station the yes vote. that is what we're from the no side of the campaign. it what we're from the no side of the campaign-— the campaign. it sounds complicated _ the campaign. it sounds complicated in - the campaign. it sounds complicated in terms i the campaign. it sounds complicated in terms of| the campaign. it sounds . complicated in terms of the reasons behind those campaigners's decision but it is also complicated to understand what it means for the voters? if understand what it means for the voters?— understand what it means for the voters? if you ask the yes side, they _ the voters? if you ask the yes side, they will _ the voters? if you ask the yes side, they will tell _ the voters? if you ask the yes side, they will tell you - the voters? if you ask the yes side, they will tell you there i side, they will tell you there is plenty of detail out there, that this is not come out of nowhere, that this is the result of years of dialogue that resulted in a historic convention where 250 indigenous delegates came together to decide what the best model of constitutional change would be. how should the country change its founding legal document which would recognise the first peoples of this country and they say this debate has been coming along for a very long time. it has been in the public debate for many years but there is an uncertainty around exactly how the boys would operate because that is what is

being proposed to australia. vote to enshrine this into the constitution, vote to give indigenous people the right to have a voice but then the power will be in the parliament with the politicians to decide how this operates, how it looks like which means it can change over time. like which means it can change overtime. so like which means it can change over time. so there is an element of uncertainty that australians have to be comfortable with, knowing that this will change, frankly, and how it could change no—one knows exactly how it is going to work so that is what australians face at the national poll. how is the polling looking? it is not looking good for the yes campaign and that has been a trend we have seen throughout this campaign so in the months leading up to the official campaign. at the moment it looks around 40% of australians will vote yes, that is 11% that they need to make up in these final weeks of the campaign, if this is to be successful. there

have been some really big rallies here in australia with yes supporters, hundreds and hundreds of people showing up on regional towns, thousands showing up in big cities about, if this was to be wrong, if this polling was to be wrong, it would be one of the biggest polling failures ever seen in australian electoral history inaudible.— australian electoral history inaudible. ., , ., ., inaudible. we have seen a lot of those in _ inaudible. we have seen a lot of those in the _ inaudible. we have seen a lot of those in the last _ inaudible. we have seen a lot of those in the last few - inaudible. we have seen a lot of those in the last few years. | of those in the last few years. thank you very much forjoining us here and explaining that so clearly. wow, it is complicated. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. in the us, republicans in congress have declared the first day of their impeachment inquiry against president biden to be a success but two of their own expert witnesses said there was not yet enough evidence to support impeachment. republicans accused biden of profiting from his son hunter's business ventures while he served as vice president. the white house has called

the inquiry a political stunt. new data shows that so far this year, more than 2500 migrants died or are still missing after trying to cross the mediterranean to reach europe. the un high commissioner for refugees says the number is a significant increase on the same period in 2022. europe has almost run out of local olive oil. extreme weather has damaged harvests for a second year and the world's largest producer says it's having to import supplies from south america to keep up with demand. olive trees have been cultivated around the mediterranean for thousands of years and spain produces half of the world's supply of olive oil. you're live with bbc news. the family of a young black gymnast at the centre of a racism dispute in irish sports say there's no excuse for what happened to their daughter. the 10—year—old girl was the only gymnast in a competition line—up not to be handed a participation medal. her parents are speaking publicly for the first time

since the incident last year, and they have told the bbc about their fight for an apology from the governing body, gymnastics ireland. meanwhile, the controversy attracted the attention of the multi—olympic gold medal—winning gymnast simone biles. here's our correspondent stephanie hegarty. a little girl tutoring with excitement. waiting for her mettle. —— a little girljittering with excitement, waiting for her medal. passed overfor a medal not once, but twice. it is painful to state and know the obvious. my daughter was the only black child in the competition. she stood out well. there were no excuses for what happened. at ten years old, did she feel this was racist? oh, yeah. yeah, and that's the sad

trauma they put through because like i say, she is the only black girl there. it is more like they almost blame herfor being black. one day after the event, they complained to gymnastics ireland. first of all, i wanted an empathetic reply from them. really, we wanted a reply from them to say yes, this is what happened. one year later, they received a very short letter, apparently from the judge who did not award the medal. but we understand the judge had written another e—mail shortly after the incident and sent it to gymnastics ireland to be forwarded. in it, she apologised for upsetting "you and your "lovely child," saying she was "very nervous "but it was a genuine mistake". "when i realised my mistake," it said, "i ran back "to get your child a medal and apologised". she concluded that she would never, ever, ever be racist. the family say that e—mail

was never forwarded to them and they didn't see it until last month and they met with the judge at a mediation session that gymnastics ireland did not attend. so, you wanted an apology which you did not get from gymnastics ireland ? they tried to cover it up like it never happened. they probably thought they would bury it, with time we would bury it, with time we would forget about it. this week, 18 months after the incident, the family did receive an apology from gymnastics ireland — but only after the video was leaked went viral and was seen by millions of people around the world. it is almost useless. it's so useless. it is like i cried for so long. and then, millions of people cried with me. before i could get this. they only sent an apology because the world wanted them to. gymnastics ireland told the bbc that they fully accepted it's taken far too long to make

an apology to the family and that the child and her parents had been let down. the late response happened for a variety of reasons, they said, including human error, threats of legal action, interventions by third parties and our own understanding that this was a complaint from the parents against the official. we approached thejudge for comment but have not received a reply. but the family did receive a message of support from someone very important to them. it's simone biles. i wanted to let you know that i saw how you were treated at your event recently. i was completely shocked and wanted to let you know that you deserve a medal, just like all the other girls. it has inspired this little girl to keep going. i wasjumping around all over the place and really happy because she is the best gymnast ever. and you're still going with gymnastics? yes. i'm still continuing. you are not going to let this stop you? you are not going to let this step you?— i'm going to keep striving hard.

a long fight for justice. barbiemania has made its way to russia, where moviegoers are flocking to secretive screenings. after russia's invasion of ukraine, hollywood studios stopped releasing films in russia but cinemas are covertly showing unofficially dubbed copies of barbie. the theatres sell tickets to russian—made shorts, then show the barbie feature film as the preview. some russian politicians are not amused by barbie and her western values. bbc news russia editor steve rosenberg reports. russia's leaders accuse the west of destabilising russia and of plotting to dismember russia. they claim there is something ungodly about western values, so they are not exactly tickled pink by her arrival. the barbie movie has made it to moscow, despite hollywood sanctions — a pirated version, that is. russia's culture ministry has criticised it for not promoting what it calls traditional russian values. this mp wants barbie dolls banned from russian kindergartens. and as for the film? so, for me personally,

it is so far from reality that i don't think it promotes what russia wants to bring to the world today. what does russia want to bring? well, some people call it traditional values. how can you talk about values as a representative of a country that has invaded its neighbour? well, we have a different position on that. we believe that actually, nato was so aggressive to us. you hear this so often from those in power here. even though it was russia who invaded ukraine, they say it is not russia who is the aggressor, it is america, nato, the west who are threatening russia. the authorities use this alleged threat to rally russians around the flag, to boost patriotism. it is about love for the motherland, not barbieland and so, you get more of this kind of entertainment. a three—hour drive from moscow, we find paratrooper pop stars singing of russia's

invincibility. for this top of the patriotic pops, it is almost a full house. on the screen behind them, no barbie or ken, just vladimir. do these patriotic notes strike a chord? to find out, i asked people about the barbie movie. "right now, we need patriotic russian films to raise morale," andrei tells me, "and we need to cut out western habits "from our lives". this woman thinks art is universal. "to become a more commercial cultured and sociable person," she says, "you need to watch films from other countries". but being cultured and sociable are not russia's priorities now. those are boosting patriotism and winning a war. steve rosenberg, bbc news, russia.

the actor sir michael gambon, who played albus dumbledore in six of the harry potter films, has died in hospital at the age of 82. sir michael, who won four tv baftas, worked across television, film, radio and theatre in a career that spanned nearly six decades. david sillito looks back on his career. welcome, welcome to another year at hogwarts. michael gambon as dumbledore — a great acting talent who never took it too seriously. tom! tom, you are sitting here! 0h, back where i started? his stage breakthrough was in alan ayckbourn�*s the norman conquests and, in particular, a scene in which he ends up dining on the little chair. you are all right where you are. good evening. carry on, talk amongst yourselves. no, not that one. the table was down like that. i actually saw a bloke one night fall out of his seat in the circle, laughing. i mean, you couldn't stop them. the whole house up. brilliant. i'm sorry, the shame...

but it was the tv drama the singing detective that truly made him a household name. however, his screen career had begun... i'm gavin kerr! ..with a bit of scottish swashbuckling in the borderers. he left school without any qualifications but he had a talent for acting, which led to dozens of roles on stage and screen. here's your chance to improve your table conversation. here, in the cook, the thief, his wife and her lover, with helen mirren. i'm going to smile when i think about mike because he was incredibly funny. he had this natural irish sense of humour. naughty, but very, very funny. an extraordinary actor... what do you want? i brought you some coffee. if i wanted coffee, i'd have rung for it. ..and we will all miss him a lot. his name was also famously attached to a certain corner on top gear.

laughter. applause. he enjoyed the accolade. he had a taste for devilment and hoodwinking gullible journalists. please... dumbledore and harry potter may have brought him a new global recognition but he was defiantly un—starry. he described his face as "looking like an old wet bag". but in beckett's ehjoe, he could use it to hold an audience without saying a word. beneath that cloak of mischief was a seriously good actor. so michael gambon, who has died at the age of 82. as if by magic, we will have the business next. hello there. after all the cloud around on thursday and the heavy overnight rain, friday looks

to be dry and brighter for many of us, thanks to a ridge of high pressure. some good sunny spells around certainly to start the day but there will be some showers developing, mainly in the north and west of the uk, and these will be most frequent across the north and west of scotland, closer to this area of low pressure. quite a squeeze on the isobars here, so another windy day to come across scotland with gales here/ lighter winds further south. there could be a weather front clearing the far south—east through the morning. it will do so and then, there's plenty of sunshine around. winds more of a feature further north. here's where we will see most of the showers, some of them heavy and thundery and blustery. gales up to 55 miles an hour. in the south, showers peppering western coastal areas. otherwise, it's mainly dry. 20 degrees in the south—east. not quite as warm and humid as it has been. a slightly fresher feel to things. then, as we head through friday night with that slightly cooler air mass, clear skies, the winds turning lighter for a while, we will see mist and fog develop and it will also be

a chilly night to come. single—figure values across the board — could be as low as three or four degrees across rural aberdeenshire. so, as we head into the weekend, then, we have high pressure bringing to start with. this next frontal system will sweep into central western and northern areas through the day. so, we start chilly and dry with sunshine, early mist and fog clearing and then, the sunshine will become hazy as this frontal system moves in. but most of the rain will be across northern ireland and wales, northern england pushing into southern scotland. the far north of scotland, southern south—east england should stay dry. some sunshine here, albeit hazy at times. and the rain. into sunday, it looks like that front clears its way into the north sea and we'll have a bit of a hang back with the weather front across england and wales. so, sunday, probablya bit cloudier for england and wales. some splashes of rain through the morning. could brighten up in the afternoon and brighter sunshine. a couple of showers in

the north and west of scotland. here, the mid to high teens but a bit warmer, a bit muggier across the south, up to 23 degrees. it is mixed into the new week. it will start off unsettled with settling down around the middle part of the week. we will start to see showers across northern areas by the end of the week but it stays fine and settled in the south.

live from london, this is bbc news. countdown to shutdown — the us government will run out of money at midnight tomorrow,

for the fourth time since 2013, unless congress can agree a spending deal. how did we get here, yet again? small business would lose access to capital, homebuyers would be unable to secure land, our supply chain would be imperilled and costs for american families would go up and up, all because of a needless shutdown. also coming up — underequipped. how a chronic lack of investment is holding back the uk economy. we have a special report. plus, the red envelope is no more — netflix mails out its last rental dvd, after 25 years and 5.2 billion discs. but who's been renting them all this time? and, forking out for the environment, as single use plastics are banned in england — we'll be finding out about the plant—based alternatives.
