The gunman has been caught - a policeman was wounded,

The Pakistani Prime Minister has promised to avenge the Easter attack

saying the militants would fail to divide the country's communities.

released of the third suspect in the bombing of Brussels Airport.

The only man so far charged over last week's attacks has been

released because of a lack of evidence.

We'll hear from BBC Arabic about the fight for Palmyra -

the Syrian army says it has the city back in control.

And in OS Sport we'll be finding out how the success of Leicester City

football club is being received in Thailand -

the home of the team's billionaire owners.

Let's start with some breaking news from the last hour.

A man has been taken into custody after shots were fired at the US

Capitol. One policeman and a female bystander were wounded. It happened

close to the visitor centre in Washington. The US Capitol is home

to the Houses of Congress. They were placed into lockdown and visitors

were told I lead speaker to find shelter. Staff were told to stay

put. Barbara Platt Usher has been following developments. We have only

been told a few minutes ago that the lockdown has been lifted, so people

can leave their offices. This is an Easter break for Congress, so not

many Congress people or staff members around but a lot of corrupt

speakers this is high tourist season and I have just met Madeline Morris

and her grandson, who were doing a of the Capitol building when the

event took place. What were you doing and how did you hear about it?

We were completing the tour and hearing suggestions were we could do

next when people started running and they told us to follow them and go

to a corner and said down and be quiet and not move. Did you hear

gunshots? No, we just followed instructions. And how did you feel?

Were you scared? Yeah. I was kind of staying behind Maflin because she

was protecting me and I felt very safe behind her. I told him to sit

behind me, I sat in front of him. This must have been a real shock for

you. I'm sure you never thought you would experience this on a trip to

Washington. We like to do at adventures and this was one of our

adventure days, we had gone to the Supreme Court and were going to the

US capital, but didn't know this would happen. Do you know how long

you were sitting there? It was really long but from the time that

it ended from the time the police were running and telling us to go to

the place where we were quite, it was a tricky long time. Do you think

you would be coming back here or has this turned you off? I think I would

come here, I feel like it was handled here and I felt very safe.

I'm not afraid to come here again. I visit my grandson is every two or

three months and I will not stop. Thank you both very much. Just a few

of the tourists who were in the Capitol building when the event took

place and they had to walk through the visitor centre to get into the

buildings and it was at the visitor centre where the gunman opened fire.

It seems to have been shut down quickly. Reports are that the gunman

has been injured, a policeman injured and a female bystander but

security officers said there immediate investigation is over and

the Loch down has ended. Barbara, thank you to you and your debts for

speaking to us. We will hear more from Paddy K, who will bring us the

latest from Washington in 20 minutes. Let's move to another

story. More than 70 people are now known

to have died in a suicide attack At least 300 others

were injured in the attack. The area was more crowded

than usual as many of Lahore's minority Christians had gathered

to celebrate Easter Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a taliban

splinter group has said Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a taliban splinter

group has said It has carried out several other

attacks on Pakistani civilians and security forces

in recent months. Eerily quiet this morning,

the park where Families had come here

to celebrate Easter, but instead, were

caught up in carnage. A place where children came to play,

now the site of a massacre. 16-year-old Sharon had been

at the park with his brother. His mother was too

distressed to speak. All she could tell us

was that the last time she saw him The body of 16-year-old Sharon has

just been brought outside his family He's just one victim among

the dozens killed in yesterday's blasts and many families

across Lahore will be Christians were the target

of the bombing by a splinter group Christians and Muslims,

men, women and children, When we came to know,

our hearts broke. We could not handle ourselves

because we knew it was Sunday, many Christians and Muslims

would be gathered there. And when we came to know

that the majority was Christian, even the Muslims, all are human

beings, and really, we cried. Pakistan's Foreign Minister Nawaz

Sharif visited survivors today. He vowed to hunt down

those responsible. He admitted that Pakistan's

different security agencies needed to be better coordinated

in the fight against terrorism. This is another attempt

by government and security forces to show strength in the face

of a national tragedy. But for families burying

their dead today, any security operation

will be of little consolation. We saw Pakistan's Prime Minister

there but let's here a bit more TRANSLATION: My brothers and

sisters, I want to reaffirm my early promise to you that we are keeping a

count of each and every drop of blood of our fellow citizens. We are

taking revenge will not stop until we take revenge of each drop of

blood of our citizens which was built by the terrorists. You know

terrorism has become an international challenge. Pakistan is

not the only country facing this challenge. Recently we saw similar

terrorism at Ankara, Istanbul, Brussels and Paris.

When I spoke to Shaimaa Khalil, she gave me an update

A lot of distress and grief that also aid her assistant question

about why and how this attack was able to happen at the devastating

scale it has. We heard from the Prime Minister and it was

interesting when you speak to members of the Christian community

who say now was Sharif of and other ministers have visited Lahore,

visited the wounded and they are able to secure convoys when they

come, why can they not secure cars? This is Annalong complaint I've

Pakistan's questions that they have been abandoned by the government,

they do not provide enough security while they are targeted by

extremists, but even though Christians were the target of this

uptight it was Muslims and Christians, men, women and many

children fell in the suicide bombing. The Pakistan Taliban linked

group have also the least a picture of a man allegedly behind the

suicide attack, that confirming that on Sunday, when questions were

celebrating Easter, he went out and carried out the suicide attack. The

neighbourhood you have been to, a lot of people would call this a soft

target and it must be a difficult thing to have a place like that

secure. And this is the big question because we did hear from the

government and from the Army that they will carry out a special

paramilitary security operation in the province of Punjab to crack down

on the militants, and the questions being asked here are the

effectiveness of these operations, how you can keep soft target secure

when militants just what in and infiltrate areas like the park we

sought yesterday and caused great damage. We will be speaking to

Pakistan's ambassadors to the UN later on the programme, but I want

to remind you of the breaking news from Washington that a US Capitol

police officer was shot at the US Capitol, the shooter was taken into

custody. The event unfolded with Congress on recess, Congress was put

on lockdown but that soon lifted. A tweet from the DC the least

apartment says there has been an ice lidded instant at the capital, there

is no active threat to the public. I want to move onto another story we

covered extensively, the bombings in Brussels.

Belgian police have released the man

He'd been charged with involvement in terrorist activities and murder.

to charge him in connection with last week's bombings

targeted the city's airport and a metro train

We've also learned today that the number of people killed

in the attacks has gone up to 35, not inlcuding the attackers.

Authorities have released these pictures

as they try to identify the third airport bomber.

The man in the hat on the right has still not been found.

It's thought his device didn't detonate.

Damian Grammaticas has the latest from Brussels

It was confirmed either Belgian Health Minister but for most of

those injured in the attacks have now died in hospital, and that

brings that total toll of casualties to 35. Meanwhile some significant

developments. We had the release of security camera footage from the

airport. We had seen stills but police released this footage showing

the three men walking through. Two suicide bombers, but the third man

on the right, police say they are still trying to identify him. The

video has been released at the same time as a man police had been called

in, they identified him as Faysal C, had been set free. There had been

reports police work connecting him with being tipped third figure in

the video that they have been unable to hand a magistrate said there was

not sufficient evidence to hold him and ordered him released, so police

continued their enquiries but this is a setback because that third man

may still be on the run. If you're away from the TV you can

get all the latest developments on the Brussels attacks

via the BBC News website. There's also this article

telling you more about some You can also find and share all that

through the BBC News app Now we will hear from BBC Arabic

about the fight for a car mirror. The Syrian army says it has the city

back under control. -- Palmyra. There's been a shooting

at a visitors' centre at the US Capitol, home to the

Houses of Congress. The gunman has been caught -

a policeman was wounded, And let's take a look at some of the

stories did BBC is reporting in our various language services.

BBC Mundo are reporting that the top money launderer for the Mexican

drug-lord Joaquin Guzman has been arrested.

He's suspected of laundering 300 to 400 million dollars a year

through a network of companies and currency exchange centres.

A tenth-century statue of a Hindu god, Rama,

has been returned to a Cambodian temple by an American museum.

It was taken during the country's civil war in the 1970s.

BBC World Service radio are covering that.

Storm Katie in the UK has led to flight cancellations and delays.

It's also caused property damage and left thousands without power.

There's more about that on the BBC News App.

Syrian officials say the government now has full control of the historic

city of Palmyra after days of fighting.

The Syrian army retook the city after ten months of IS control,

IS seized the UNESCO World Heritage site in May last year and set

about destroying some of the ancient ruins and temples.

However, Syria's antiquities chief said...

Syrian troops relaxing in the streets of Palmyra

after what appears to have been a victory

It took them just a few weeks to recapture the area which lies

on a vital highway leading from Damascus

They had significant support from the Russian air force.

The militants took control of Palmyra in May last year and began a

campaign of destruction. They published this photograph showing

one of several ancient tombs being blown up. But this new video seems

to show that the expected wholesale destruction of the UNESCO world

heritage site has not happened, to the relief of archaeologists

everywhere, especially in Syria. When my son was born, it was one of

the most oedipal days of my life. The second most oedipal day was the

news that Palmyra was not destroyed completely. The site was saved

partly because the top archaeologist refused to reveal the whereabouts of

hundreds of artefacts. He was later beheaded. But this is also an

important step teacher at Jane, because from here the Syrian

military can broaden its offensive against Islamic State forces, and

the Syrian army is going to move against Raqqa, regard it as Islamic

State's headquarters in Syria. The Russian air force would probably be

behind all this. The combination of Russian air strikes and re-energised

Syrian forces on the ground is putting President Assad and the

Kremlin at the forefront of the battle against Islamic State in this

country, and western leaders are not complaining.

Hanan Razek from BBC Arabic explained this isn't just

There are around 70,000 people who used to live in Palmyra or around it

before the Civil War. After the war started, they fled to other cities

or outside the country, and around 15,000 stayed after Isis seized the

city last year and its many people, very poor eagle who could not afford

to travel outside the city. Those numbers are from activists, we can

not verify them in the Endsleigh, but it is between ten and 15,000,

and after the recapture of the city yesterday, we got news from local

journalists that they were evacuated by IS come they called on people

with loudspeakers and told them to get out of the city before the

German troops came in. So Islamic State militants told people there to

leave. Did you call heed that call? We do not know yet because it is

tricky to get much information that that is what we are getting from

local journalists. One journalist who got into the city today said it

was like a city of ghosts, there was no one there. A reminder of our

breaking news, a man has been taken into custody after a shooting in

Washington, DC. A police officer and female bystander were wounded. We

are expecting a news conference shortly and will bring it to you

when it comes. Let's move on to an stories. -- business stories.

The first Occulus Rift headsets have gone on sale today.

The virtual reality headset is said to be the most immersive made yet -

and the first of a range of different brands to go on sale

Hope they do a business aren't virtual reality headsets? There are

conflicting figures that ending on to you believe. One market believes

it will be worth 16 billion, another firm thinks it is closer to 70

million dollars by 2020. The key thing is that all techies agree that

virtual reality is the next week thing and so the first one to market

is a big deal. In this case we're talking about the oculus rift. The

company was bought by Facebook hummer which can give this product

some heft and grow the market, but most people in the application for

this will be in gaming and so all eyes will be on Sony. Later this

year it will release its virtual reality headset. Thank you,

Michelle. Let's turn to the UN. The UN estimates one third

of all food produce globally is wasted - that's about one

trillion dollars worth. Steve Evans has been looking

at a possible solution The waste we humans make. Every day

13,000 tonnes of garbage from the citizens of soul get dumped on

landfill sites. A mountain of waste, but it is not as bad as it was. The

waste left has fallen dramatically, from 35,000 tonnes a day. It is a

third of what it does. How has the city done it? There is one of the

heroes. She has cut the waste from food dramatically. She even tries

out potato dealings so they weigh less and don't take it so much room.

TRANSLATION: We do sink waste is not as difficult as you think. In the

past we were attacked a fixed rate to dump waste. Now I am trying to

read used the amount we throw away. At her housing complex where it is a

smart waste bin. It weighs the waste. She identifies herself with a

card and it then registers how much waste she has left. At the end of

the month, she and other residents get charged for the waste they

leave. The less weight, the lower the bill. There is CCTV monitoring

but this system is based on trust and self-interest. The less waste

you leave, the more money you make. A reminder of our top story from

Washington, DC, where a US Capitol police officer was shot. The shooter

was taken into custody. The event unfolded with Congress in recess and

lawmakers back in their districts where the White House was briefly on

lockdown. It was soon lifted. We are waiting for a press conference, so

when it begins we will bring it to you. But for now we will say

goodbye. We will take the lift back at the weather in the last 24 hours

in a moment, but first we are off to America. A couple of areas of low
