Good morning. It is monday the 2nd of october. You are watching bbc news. We will begin with the developing story, the shooting in las vegas. We have heard from police in las vegas at least 20 people have died and more than 100 people have been wounded after a gunman opened fire on people who were attending a Country Music festival. Police say the suspect, a local man who they havent named, opened fire on the outdoor event from the 32nd floor of the mandalay casino hotel on the citys sunset strip. They later shot him dead. We can listen to the las vegas sheriff speaking about the attack. Officers responded to the location and engaged the suspect at that location. He is dead. He has been identified as a local resident. I will not release his name at this time. We are interested in a companion that is travelling with him and her name is, i will provide you with the names, please be accurate on this, it is Marilou Danley. She is an asian female, approximately 411 tall. A weight of 111 pounds. We have not located at this time and we are interested in talking to her for follow up. Sheriffjoe lombard oh of the Las Vegas Police department. Regan morris is in los angeles. The police so morris is in los angeles. The police so far have not named to the gunman is, or who he was. They said he was a local man. At the added any more information . They have not. They identified him as a local. They identified him as a local. They identified him as a local. They identified him as a man. And as you said, they are looking for his female companion. They have not made it clear why they want to speak to her but it is believed she might be his roommate. There is speculation about that in the us media. Whether 01 about that in the us media. Whether or not they are a couple orjust live together, they are looking for her to find out more information about the shooter. They did not speculate on the motive or if they knew of a motive. Presumably that is why they want to speak to her. Why would somebody do a thing like this . Any update at this stage on the vitalis tees and the number of people wounded . Vitalis tees and the number of people wounded . They are still saying up to 20. It is 100 wounded. Extraordinary numbers. The way that they said. Sorry, they said at least 20. It gives you pause and makes you think that number really could increase. There are so many wounded people. One eyewitness said her husband was lying on top of her to protect her and stop her from being shot. She was crying and said we we re being shot. She was crying and said we were like sitting ducks. He was firing down from the 32nd floor of the mandalay bay casino. People initially thought they were fireworks. This woman i was talking about thought they were fireworks. It happens during a Country Music concert. They do not know whether gunfire is coming from either. It must have been terrifying. The scenes we have been showing clips of, people running, crouching, trying to get shelter, or simply fleeing in panic away from where they were. Clearly you can see these scenes of absolute terror. And we are hearing, although i do not believe the type of weapon used has been confirmed, reports of an automatic weapon being fired. And with an event like this inevitably even though it is very early days, the hours afterwards, people are talking about the gun laws again, arent they . People always talk about the gun laws after a mass shooting in the United States. Nevada has very permissive gun laws. There is not a limit on how much ammunition you can carry. I am not an expert on firearms and judging it but that was sustained and prolonged automatic fire. That is not necessarily illegal. It is illegal to shoot people but not illegal to have that kind of weapon necessarily in nevada. It always provokes a debate after a shooting like this. But quite often, theyre more gun sales after a mass shooting because people fear they will be a crackdown on gun control. With a republican controlled government in washington, that is unlikely. But we will see. There is a way is a debate. Finally and briefly, do we know if people are still in lockdown in parts of las vegas . 0r know if people are still in lockdown in parts of las vegas . Or are people that were taking shelter in various places on the sunset strip, have they been able to come out now . |j think they been able to come out now . think most of them are out. I do not know about all of them. I know the floor where the gunman was, i do not know what happened to the other people staying on the floor, i believe it was clear that completely but i do not know where they went. Some people were allowed back. They have the highways into las vegas closed and the main roads closed. They have been reopened. The area around mandalay bay is still closed but traffic conditions have opened up. It is after three oclock in the morning. Hopefully people are in their beds and try to get some sleep if they have been through this horrific series of events tonight. Reagan, thank you very much. Regan morris on the shooting in las vegas. Eyewitnesses have been describing the chaos and confusion in the attack. We are going to play a clip for you now. It is pretty graphic, really. You can hear prolonged gunfire, which was going on. Gunshots. Gunshots. Get gunshots. Get down gunshots. Get down gets down sheer panic during and in the immediate aftermath of that prolonged gunfire. It sounds like an automatic weapon. Multiple us networks are now reporting the gunman shot dead was 64 year old steven haddock. Multiple News Networks are reporting the gunman was 64 year old stephen haddock. Police in las vegas have already been saying he is a local man. They are looking for his travelling companion, somebody they described as his travelling companion, Marilou Danley. That prolonged gunfire you have just heard in that clip was fired from the 32nd floor of a hotel on the sunset strip, directly onto the people who were at that music concert. As we have been saying, eyewitnesses have been describing the chaos and confusion during the attack. We can listen to a little bit more of that. We saw first officers, about eight, running into the lift bay, 301a, they are going up, coming down, going this way, that way. We were told to get out, told to in. One shooter is up and we we re told to in. One shooter is up and we were told by Police Shooting at an one is roaming around and we have been told to come here. We think we are safe here because there is so much police. Do you see any shooters . Did you hear anything . Yes. But the initial gunshots were like machine gun fire. Logan cruz and Liberty Psesser were at the concert. We are all on the ground. We cannot see anything. It is dark. All we hear is gunshots going off. So it keeps going and it starts and somebody says he is reloading, run and you see people. There are people laying on the ground. Looking on the ground, people are bloodied everywhere. I saw a girl and her whole face and chest was bloodied. People were pushing over grills, burning their hands on grills trying to get through because the rock barbecues everywhere. There are kids everywhere. It was crazy. And then we make it out and we run to the Tropicana Hotel. It is right next door. We get inside and we tried to figure out where to get out and where to go. And we heard somebody yell, the shooter is in here everybody starts running out of there. Nathanjudah is a british journalist on holiday with his family, staying opposite the Mandalay Hotel, who witnessed victims fleeing the shooting. We arejust going we are just going out of the exit doors and maybe ten or 15 people ran straight past us. We did not think too much about it. Seconds later it was hundreds just running too much about it. Seconds later it was hundredsjust running in and we did not fully understand exactly what was going on at that time. But obviously we turned around and went straight back into the casino. Hundreds of people were running, crying, screaming, dropping back, dropping everything they could.

Monarch airlines has gone into administration overnight, leaving about a 11,000 customers overseas and all of its future bookings, 300,000 of them cancelled. The airline is the largest ever to collapse in the uk and the government says it will be the countrys biggest ever peacetime repatriation. The Tour Operator had been in last ditch talks the transport secretary Chris Grayling has been talking about the operation to bring passengers home.

There was reported loss of £291 million blamed on a fall in tourism to june this £291 million blamed on a fall in tourism tojune this year, egypt and turkey after terror there. The company employs 2100 members of staff who now face an anxious wait for more news. Lets go to mike cartwright, at the Company Macro head office near luton airport. I think it is fair to say monarch passengers currently abroad tricky much know what is going to happen nextin much know what is going to happen next in terms of returning home but for people who were supposed to fly with monarch and four members of staff, the situation is much less certain. That is right. That is where the confusion is. Last night four monarch aircraft arrived in luton after the passengers disembarked and then the aircraft parked up a couple of hundred metres from where we are standing and now they are in the hands of the administrators. The four flights this morning to italy, portugal, majorca and sweden, they were cancelled. I went into the terminal this morning and i had been speaking to passengers. I spoke to marilyn. There were two members of her family and they were flying to portugal. They heard rumours monarch might go bust and did not think it would happen. Fears were confirmed at four oclock this morning when they were told. Now, they speak about other passengers being concerned. Some going into panic. But they rescued their holiday. They went to ryanair and bought three flights for more than £500. A considerable extra cost to their holiday. Monarch flight out of five uk airports. This is what passengers told us at gatwick early this morning. They gave us a leaflet to say that our flight with monarch had been cancelled. We were panicking. What do we do . Everybody is the flight here, there and everywhere. And it has cost me another £666 to get to where i want to go today. I have already paid 1500. I did actually phone yesterday and i was told our flight phone yesterday and i was told our flight would not be affected as we are travelling. But it has been affected. Everything has been cancelled as of four oclock this morning. We have been travelling near on eight hours from near manchester. And now we face the prospect of travelling back for eight hours to manchester. We expect 12 repatriations lights to come back here at luton this afternoon. We do not know what time. Flights. There are 100,000 passengers to get back from more than 35 airports across europe. Here at the headquarters, 2000 people are wondering what is going to happen to theirjobs. Lets wondering what is going to happen to their jobs. Lets have wondering what is going to happen to theirjobs. Lets have a chat to the administrators. You have been in there talking to members of staff. What have you told them . We had to say to them it was unfortunate that we had to hearfrom say to them it was unfortunate that we had to hear from the say to them it was unfortunate that we had to hearfrom the media. We would expect to speak to employees before anybody. That was a consequence of the timing of the appointment. We had to take the appointment. We had to take the appointment at four oclock this morning because we could not take it at times when aircraft were in the air. We did not have an operator certificate which is required to fly planes so it had to be done at that time. There were no planes in the airand four time. There were no planes in the air and four oclock was the only realistic time when flights came back from tel aviv when we could make the appointment. While we did e mail them at that time most of them probably did not pick it up until they saw Breakfast Television or listen to the radio. That was the first issue. Normally that is not how we do business. Then we gave them the background to what has been going on. We tried to explain where they stand in terms of statutory rights in this situation. It is not very puzzled, especially for a business which has been around a long time. And many people at work for it a long time. We have a great deal of simply for all employees caught up in this. They must be concern. What questions did they ask . Standard questions. I was not pa rt ask . Standard questions. I was not part of the meetings. Many of my collea g u es part of the meetings. Many of my colleagues had meetings with each of the employees up and down the country. At six or seven locations throughout the country and people we re throughout the country and people were speaking to the various sub sets and taking questions. It would be about what happens next and the entitlements with the statutory payment regime. What is the timetable for monarch . You would have to guess, those bred little chance of being able to sell the whole business and therefore the effo rts whole business and therefore the efforts in the next few weeks will be to see if anybody is interested in any material part of it. Depending on how that plays out, it will depend on how it moves on for the employees and the rest of the business. Not all the company has gone into administration. The engineering business continues as normal. That has not been affected. There is no interest in that space. There is no interest in that space. The tour group and the airline business, and a number of related businesses, but these are the main businesses. If you have booked a holiday you are entitled to compensation and a refund. But if you bought a flight it is less certain. What do you say to people concerned about not getting their money back . The best way to look into that is by accessing either the kpmg website or Civil Aviation website which goes into detail on customer arrangements. Website which goes into detail on customerarrangements. Depending website which goes into detail on customer arrangements. Depending on how you paid for it, arrangements to reclaim can be a little bit different. The best way to address it is to go on the website. You cannot pick up on the website, there are two dedicated helplines which will help you address this. Whether you will help you address this. Whether yu pay will help you address this. Whether you pay by credit, debit, paypal or whatever, there are slightly different systems in place. And what about the aircraft . The aircraft are all least. We will contact them at source. They are parked up at them. We will obviously not fly them and beyond that it is up to them what the next steps are. Thank you very much. For passengers it is clearly worrying time. For the people that have worked, some for 50 years, it is very worrying. They are concerned about their future employment. Studio thank you very much. Mike cartwright.
