at the conclusion of the chiefs rally today, there were shots fired on the west side of union station. immediately, officers responded to the area, took two people into custody and also immediately rendered life—sustaining aid to those victims. one reporter was about to go live when gunfire was heard... something's going on! ..leading to mass evacuation. it had started with a hero's welcome. for the second year running, the kansas city chiefs took the super bowl, and the winners came home again, with up to a million people packing the streets. police tonight say two armed people have been ta ken into custody. meanwhile, the team's star quarterback says he is praying for kansas city, as america's gun problem now haunts another mass event. the kansas city mayor, quinton lucas had also been at the parade when shots were fired. this is what he said.

we had 600 kansas city, missouri police department officers, 250 from outside agencies. we went out today like everyone in kansas city, looking to have a celebration. that celebration was marred by a shooting today. and we recognise that there are some who are injured. we're praying for the safety of everyone. i've talked to a few different folks so far. one, we have spoken to the kansas city chiefs who made clear that their prayers are with everyone who was at the parade today. everyone in kansas city and everyone who was touched by this incident. they also noted that their players, coaches and staff are all accounted for at this point and safe. however, note that this is a fluid situation. so all that we're sharing now may change as the hours go ahead. we've also received a call from the white house that offered all federal assistance and the investigation. we have federal agencies present today. we appreciate that. and certainly in the days ahead and the hours ahead, we will make sure we continue to do this work.

brian lock — a reporterfor kmbz radio in kansas city gave me an update of what's happening at the moment. the latest number is one person is dead, between 15, ten and 15 people injured. most of those people were shot near union station or have injuries related to the shooting at the scene. it was absolute pandemonium. the latest — 1—person dead, as many as 15 being treated at kansas city area hospitals. what more do we know? i understand details might be limited but what do we know about the tensions? very little. we know nothing about the suspects. we're hearing nothing officially from kansas city police or any other law enforcement source at this time about those two suspects. we did hear from the chief of the kansas city missouri

police department, she did say that those two suspects were taken into custody, they knew there were those who suspect, it's possible there were others they don't think there are others, they hoped but they do not think there are others. this is still very much an active investigation. all leads are still being chased down by police in the area. do we have a little more detail on the condition of those injured? we know that between five and ten are in critical condition. we know there are some children among the injured. that's basically all we know. we've heard from a few hospitals across the area that they have trauma centres are basically full for the hospitals are sending patients elsewhere because there's so much need right now with the confusion of sending people from one hospital to the other. it's notjust physical injuries from something like this, there were reports of people having mental breakdowns

and panic attacks. as you can imagine with something like this. that's a strain on health services also. has that area being completely cleared at the moment? no, the area has not been cleared. i do not expect it will be cleared tonight for that may be tomorrow. i can tell you i was at the parade very early, six a:m., the route was completely secured, you can get anywhere near their road from either direction. this comes as a real shock to kansas city. a real shock. this was a celebration. we've learned how to do this, this is not ourfirst super bowl parade. we thought we know how to do this. and for things to wrap up and the rally to end like this is shocking, it's horrible.

following developments from jerusalem — and sent this update. well, tonight, the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has doubled down. he's told the israeli people, "we will fight until complete "victory, and that includes powerful action," as he put it, "in the city of rafah after we allow the civilian population to leave the battle zones. " those were his words tonight, and i think what he's basically saying or what he's indicating is despite all these warnings from the united nations, aid agencies, notably from the united states, he is going to pursue this course of action. and that means moving 1.5 million palestinians out of the city of rafah, so that the israeli military can embark on this big military operation to try and wipe out the remaining hamas fighters. of course, fighting continues elsewhere in the gaza strip. there's been a particularfocus in the city of khan younis around the nasser hospital,

a really big medicalfacility. the israelis have been telling civilians who sought shelter there to move. they're being encouraged to evacuate. in fact, they're being instructed to evacuate. the israelis saying, though, that patients and doctors, they do not have to move. all of this, of course, makes a pretty bleak backdrop for the negotiations that continue to try and find some sort of cease—fire or a lull in the fighting. they've been taking place in cairo, and we hear that representatives from hamas will be joining the discussions in the days to come. today, though, we've also heard from the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas, and he is urging hamas to do a deal very quickly. he says that has to be done, otherwise there will be, in his words, "another catastrophe". protesting indian farmers have clashed with the police after resuming their march towards the capital, delhi. security forces used drones to drop tear gas on protesters, who used kites to bring them down. farmers are demanding

minimum guaranteed prices for their crops. 0ur south asia correspondent samira hussein reports. explosions. india's farmers have a message for the government — and they want to go to the capital to deliver it. in response, the police drop canisters of tear gas. and then everything turns chaotic. canisters explode. the barrage is unrelenting. men shout. this is the government lobbing tear gas onto farmers here who demanding better protections. they are demanding fair prices for their crops, they are demanding fair prices fortheir crops, debt for their crops, debt forgiveness and fortheir crops, debt forgiveness and pensions. india's farmers have been here before. in 2020 they spent more than a year protesting against agricultural reforms. armed with the same resolve they are

in it for the long haul. translation: when it comes to growing food in this country thatis growing food in this country that is when they need farmers. but when the farmers want fair prices the same farmers become a terrorist or a separatist for the government. this time, the government is taking no chances, erecting barricades at every major entry point to new delhi, turning the capital into a fortress. �*farmers are left using kites to distract police drones, so uneven is the use of force. canister explodes. it seems prime minister modi's regime's tolerance for peaceful protests has reached its limits. samira hussain, bbc news, punjab. in ukraine, the new commander—in—chief has visited two key battle zones — and acknowledged that life on parts of the frontline was extremely difficult. general syrskyi called the situation �*extremely complex and stressful�*. the comments came just hours

after ukraine�*s military said it destroyed another russian warship, off occupied crimea. these are the pictures released by ukraine�*s the military — showing the moment the warship was hit. moscow has not commented on the incident — although it did say, that its forces had shot down six aerial drones over the black sea, as well as another three over russia. staying in ukraine — next week it will be two years since russia invaded the country — uprooting ten million people from their homes. at the start of the conflict our special correspondent fergal keane reported from the western city of lviv — as huge numbers of refugees the largest in europe since world war two — tried to cram onto trains and escape. fergal has returned to lviv to find out what happened to some of the people he met. people shout. they were fleeing europe�*s biggest refugee crisis since world war ii.

people are just crushing all around me, trying to get onto these trains. woman screams. a woman, a young mother with a baby there, screaming, because everyone�*s getting crushed. but two years on, what happened to the people fleeing and those helping them? among the volunteers was dr natasha ambarova, helping some of the 10 million uprooted from their homes. now, after helping so many escape, she�*s still in lviv... child exclaims. ..and seeing the traumatic impact of war on her family.

natasha is teaching medicine, knowing any of her students could end up on the front line. and now she�*s ready to fight. you�*re a doctor, you save lives, but part of you wants to kill. mm—hm. it�*s my war, yeah. from the beginning, at the station, natasha was hearing direct testimony of russian cruelty. some of the worst stories were coming from the besieged city of mariupol. you�*re from mariupol?

we met the verstiuk family — among them, 86—year—old grandmother maria and her daughter ludmilla. maria fell several times in a basement shelter. bell rings. a year later we found the family living in ukraine�*s peaceful carpathian mountains, but haunted by memories of what they�*d left behind.

six months after we filmed this interview, maria died in exile. buried far from her husband and mariupol, the city she loved. dog barks. bugle plays. the war�*s sadness is everywhere now. in lviv recently, the funeral of yaroslav mikholev, one of 380,000 ukrainian soldiers killed or wounded. as we filmed, a veteran erupted in rage. man howls in anguish. man shouts.

"death to the enemy," he shouts. an end to the dying, the exile, seems very far away. man continues shouting. fergal keane, bbc news, lviv. before we go let�*s take you through our top story in the united states where the police in kansas city have seen 22 people shot and injured at the super bowl victory parade at least one of the victims is dead. seven have life—threatening injuries, the police chief speaking a short while back said three suspects were in custody and firearms have been recovered. he said the motive wasn�*t clear yet, it is very much an open investigation. chaos broke out when shots were fired as spouse and celebrated the victory of the kansas city chiefs in

american footballs premier event. those visuals from a short while back from the scene where the developments took place. let me also draw your attention to our website where we�*re currently have a life page open which has all the very latest details coming out of kansas city for that as i said, it is in active investigations and we�*re getting updates from officials. that�*s it for the moment. hello there. some very wet, very mild conditions around at the moment. temperatures reached 16.5 degrees celsius in hereford on wednesday and it could turn even warmer still, perhaps, as we head through thursday. but the focus for the day�*s highest temperatures will tend to be further east. there�*s a lot more rain to come in the forecast as well, all of these weather fronts just pushing northwards and eastwards as we head through into thursday morning.

so temperatures rising unusually through the night across much of scotland. and we�*ll start the day off on 12 or 13 degrees celsius towards the south of england and wales. all of that mild airjust flowing in on that southerly wind from the azores. you can see all of that very mild air marked in the deep yellow there. it�*s a very wet start to the day across scotland, the heavy rain clearing northwards, being replaced by this batch of rain just pushing away from northern ireland. a cold front sweeping eastwards, giving some more heavy rain where the ground is already saturated, but it should stay largely dry ahead of the front across eastern areas of england. now, these are the average temperatures for this time of year, just 8 or 9 degrees. you can see just how mild it�*s going to be through the day on thursday. in fact, across parts of essex, we could even see 16 to 18 degrees celsius, perhaps, given any brightness. that�*s still well off the february record, but it will feel pleasantly warm, i think, for the time of year. now, as we head through thursday night, that cold front continues to sweep its way eastwards. and behind it, there�*s some slightly cooler—feeling air,

but only a drop in temperature by a couple of degrees or so. we�*ll start off friday morning, then, with a legacy of cloud out towards eastern areas of england. that�*s going to be clearing away. a few isolated showers, perhaps, in the wake of the front, but generally speaking, i think friday should be largely dry for most of us. the best of the brightness probably towards central areas at first and then out towards the east, but also some brighter skies, perhaps, further west. temperatures really around 9—12 degrees celsius for the vast majority. on saturday, again, a largely dry day. the brighter skies really towards the east. it will cloud over from the west through the afternoon, with heavy rain by the end of the day across northern ireland. once again, temperatures will peak between 11 and 1a degrees celsius, and that�*s where they�*ll tend to stay on sunday. that heavy rain clears eastwards as we head through sunday morning and the rest of the day should be largely dry with some spells of brightness. perhaps a few showers again on monday. bye— bye.

hello and welcome to asia business report. i�*m arunoday mukharji. turning our attention to japan as we receive some numbers as the country has slipped into a recession, based on newly released growth figures that we were anticipating. for the final three months of the year, the economy shrunk 0.4% on an annualized basis. this could mean japan annualized basis. this could meanjapan has lost its spot as the world�*s third—largest economy. economists had predicted a disappointed reading means the value of japan�*s output would drop behind us in dollar terms. japan macro .com, neil, good to have you back on the programme come appreciate you joining us once again, now that we have the numbers, your initial thoughts as to what we�*ve seen? it's thoughts as to what we�*ve seen? it�*s not very helpful, to be honest. this was an important
