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,

The Pakistani Prime Minister has promised to avenge the Easter attack

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

I will speak to the Pakistani ambassador to the UN in a few

minutes. And we will look at the success of

Leicester City football club and how their popularity is increasing in

Thailand, the home of their billionaire owners. If you have any

questions or comments, please get in touch with us.

Let's get more on our breaking news story from the past couple of hours.

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

Capitol. One police officer and they feel Mel I stand was wounded. It

happened close to that visitor centre in Washington, DC, home to

the Houses of Congress. They were placed in lockdown and visitors were

told to find shelter while staff were told to stay put.

What more can you tell us about this incident? In the last few minutes

the lockdown has been lifted on Capitol Hill, that includes the

visitors' centre that you were talking about. We understand the

suspect is in hospital. As you said, there were shots fired, one

bystander, a woman, was hit by shrapnel, and a police officer on

Capitol Hill, which has its own police force, the security forces up

there, you was also injured in this attack. We do not know much more

than that, we are waiting for a press conference which should start

any minute now and hopefully they will give us more details. What this

goes to show is that this is the US capital, the most secure venue in

the United States apart from the White House, it has its own secure

police. This visitors' centre was built specifically with security in

mind, and yet today, for a couple of hours, this was the scene of extreme

tension as it came under attack. It shows just how difficult it is to

guarantee the security of any venue. You can put as much security as you

like, as many armed police officers as you like, as there are Capitol

Hill, and you still cannot stop the individual who is armed and wanting

to cause some kind of damage and some kind of attack. That is what

American security officials are particularly worried about. It did

seem like the messages for visitors to try and find shelter, which must

have been very frightening for them, and then the workers there to try

and they put. How did they get that message across? Loudspeakers? Here

in the United States it is a week where schools are on holidays, and

it is traditionally known as spring break, schools bring their students

to visit the capital. You have school children, teachers, other

tourists from around the country the world. They have a PA system, you

can hear these messages. It was the PA system which was giving us much

of the news, which told us there was an active shooting situation going

on and told people an active shooting situation going

on and told people to say they securely in place, then they have

the lockdown,, and then we heard it had been lifted. People are allowed

to carry guns in Washington, DC, is that correct? Know, in Washington,

DC you cannot carry guns, not in individual members of the public.

That law was contested recently. Individual members of the public

cannot do that. The police who are up on Capitol Hill, the Capitol Hill

police force dedicated to protecting the US Congress, they are on and

they would have been armed in this case. Thank you very much. We are

going to try and bring the press conference to you when it gets

underway from just close to the Capitol Building. Let's and onto

Outside Source sport. Some of the teams who qualified for football's

European Championship in the summer have been in action. Let's cross to

Hugh, who is at the BBC sports centre and can

more about what is happening. International friendlies are often

decried, too many substitutions and boring football, nobody really cares

about winning. This time though, they are crucial. Tuesday and

Wednesday will offer managers the final chance to see their teams

before deciding the squad that they will pick for the European

Championships in France later this year. Two have taken place on

Tuesday involving three teams who will be in France. Wales have been

waiting some 60 years to fight for a major tournament, they have been

waiting nearly eight years for a friendly away from home and that

goes on, they lost 1-0 in Ukraine. They also qualify for Euro 2016, a

goal from Andre Yarmolenko. For Chris Coleman's site, just one win

in their last three games. As far as Northern Ireland are concerned,

their last appearance in a big footballing event was the 1986 World

Cup. Just the last few moments they have broken the record for the

number of games unbeaten, that is ten now in a row. They have beaten

Slovenia by one goal to nil in Belfast. Conor Washington with the

goal. Wednesday, some of the really big nations who have the potential

to win Euro 2016 will play their final friendlies before their

managers pick the squads. While champions Germany have lost three of

their last four matches, including dramatically to England on Saturday.

They played against Italy in Germany, and Italy have not won any

of their last three matches either. Portugal play Belgium, two big

hitters as well. Hosts France will play World Cup hosts Russia.

England, after winning in Berlin, have a sense of optimism going into

their match at Wembley against the Netherlands. There is even talk of

Wayne Rooney, currently injured, being surplus to requirements, would

you believe, after his young replacements broke the World Cup

winners. IQ, Hugh Ferris. -- thank you. That smacks day with a few more

stories. Foreign influence isn't only on the

pitch in the Premier League. The team who are unexpectedly flying

high at the top, everybody wants to know about this team, they are

closing in on the title, it is Leicester City. Based in the English

Midlands. They are in fact owned by a tight duty free property company

based in Bangkok. Quite a way away. -- in Thailand duty free property

company. In a country long dominated by

the red power of Manchester United and Liverpool, this

is something new and blue. A club that, until recently,

few Thais had heard and even

fewer could pronounce. Under Thai ownership Leicester's

improbable success is drawing in new supporters here

in the land of smiles. How long did you support

Manchester United? Now you have switched

to Leicester, why? TRANSLATION: It's because

they're Thai owned. The club's owner, Kingpower,

has become laying on free food and beer for the fans

while they watch Leicester's seemingly unstoppable rise,

winning again here against Crystal Last year, they had to shut down

this shop at a central Bangkok Metro This year, every Leicester shirt

in Thailand is sold out. Can unglamorous Leicester upstage

the big names of English football Especially the young,

whose loyalties aren't fixed yet. We went to a Bangkok weekend

practice match to find out. Well, for this exercise we tried

to get hold of a Leicester City shirt, but every one of them

in the country is sold out. So, we have had to bring up

a picture here on this laptop and we will show it to these boys

and see what the awareness is of the club at the top

of the Premier League. Can I just ask you guys whether any

of you or all of you know whose But they weren't quite so sure

they were ready to support them. Thai football has come a long way

in the past ten years. Local clubs like this now

have a strong and noisy following. Many of them also follow

a Premier League side. TRANSLATION: I have been a Chelsea

fan for a long time. But I wouldn't mind rooting

for a Thai club. It has bounced back from near

relegation. Well, secretly I am wishing

Leicester well. Much of course depends

on what happens in Leicester's But if they do triumph,

they can tap into an almost bottomless pool of football

passion here in Thailand, and plenty

of patriotic pride. Let's to the world of boxing. If you

head to the BBC sport page or the app you can see more about the

condition of Nick Blackwell, the boxer in an induced coma after his

British middleweight title defeat by Chris Eubank Junior that took place

on Saturday. His trainer has told the BBC that Blackwell has not

deteriorated, although he is heavily sedated he could be brought round on

Tuesday. This fight has raised questions over the safety of the

sport, but not for the man who heads the British board of boxing control.

We obviously will have a review of the situation and see what the

incident shows and get reports from everybody that, all the doctors etc,

and we will meet up and discuss if anything could have been different.

At the present time, from what I have seen and Hugh I have spoken to,

I am satisfied -- who I have spoken to. I want to bring you a reminder

of our top story this hour, breaking news out of Washington, DC. A US

Capitol Belize officer was shot on Monday at the Capitol Visitor Center

complex, and the shooter was taken into custody. Capitol officials and

police said. Let's take a look at the pictures coming in. The

microphones are set up because they are expecting a press conference in

a few minutes time. We will bring you that once it gets underway. We

expect it to come from the DC police. The lockdown has been

lifted, as we were hearing from some of our correspondents over the past

couple of minutes. It is all coming up on Outside Source. In a few

minutes we are going to talk about the suicide bombing Pakistan which

killed more than 70 people, we are going to be speaking to the practice

Pakistani ambassador to the UN here on this programme. -- the Pakistani

ambassador. battered large parts of southern

Britain, leaving flights cancelled, property damaged, and thousands of

people without power. There were gusts of up to 106 mph recorded as

more than 100,000 homes were left without power at the height of the

winds. Thousands are still awaiting reconnection to the electricity

tonight. The Environment Agency have issued 27 flood warnings following

the rain. Robert Hall brings us this report. A rude awakening after the

two weekend. Storm Katie may have arrived while most of us were

asleep, but there was no missing its journey east. This video was filmed

by onlookers as the storm dismantled three stories of scaffolding.

Unfortunately, some of these businesses will be closed for one or

two days until the scaffolding is repaired. We need to make sure that

the electricity lines and anything untoward, we are just making sure

that the residents of the flat above are safe, and well-informed. In

Gosport in Hampshire, a series of storm forced gusts tore the entire

roof of these flats. Suddenly we heard a tremendous crash. And the

whole building shook. Quite dramatically. And that kind of got

us out of bed quite quickly. The storm had dragged from Cornwall to

the North Sea. Tumbling trees, damaging buildings, bringing down

power lines. At its peak, the gale had enough force to twist this tower

crane on a building site in east London.

Along the south coast, there were warnings of coastal flooding

Along the south coast flooding there were warnings of coastal

flooding and ferry sailings were disrupted.

More than 80 flights were cancelled at Heathrow and Gatwick airports,

and some fights that did attempt to make it in were forced to abort.

An uncomfortable few minutes for travellers on the way home.

In the Thames Valley, the centre of Woodley was sealed off

after scaffolding collapsed to the street.

Back in Gosport, the sun is shining but the clear-up has some way to go.

At these flats near the naval base, roofing installation and timbers had

dropped three storeys and crashed onto cars below.

Storm Katie may have been relatively short lived but the incidents

we have seen give some indication of its power.

If it had not moved through in the hours of darkness,

the consequences could have been more serious.

this is Outside Source, live from the BBC News. Our lead story...

There has been a shooting a visitors' centre in the US capital.

The gunman has been caught, a policeman was wounded but not

seriously. Coming up next, it depends on where you live. On BBC

News, world News America is looking back at South Africa's history of

corruption scandals, and the campaign is using satire highlight

this. Coming up next on the BBC News Channel in the UK, much more on

Storm Katie which has battered large parts of England, with property

damaged and thousands of people without power. Let's move onto one

of our top stories. More 70 people are now known to have died

in a suicide attack in a park in Lahore, Pakistan. The group which

claimed responsibility say it targeted Christians celebrating

Easter. The Pakistani Prime Minister has been speaking.

We are keeping a count of each and every drop of blood by citizens. We

will not stop until we take revenge of each and every drop of blood of

our fellow citizens which was built by the terrorists. You know,

terrorism has become an international challenge. Pakistan is

not the only country which is facing this challenge. Very recently, we

saw similar terrorism at Ankara, Istanbul, Brussels and Paris.

Pakistan's ambassador to the United Nations joins us now. Great to have

you with us, mad ambassador. We hearing some of the comments of

Pakistan's Prime Minister. -- Adam ambassador. What did you make of

what he said? I think the most important message from the Prime

Minister and from his government is that the people of Pakistan are

united in their grief, but they are also united in their resolve to

confront and to defeat these dark forces of terrorism. And I think he

is reassuring the people of Pakistan that his government will continue

with the law enforcement operations that have been under way. Remember,

this attack has taken place in a certain context, and that contact is

law enforcement operation going on in what is called North was a wrist

band, one of the tribal agencies. Our forces went into a strategic

area just under a month ago, and as the space has shrunk for terrorist,

they have begun to strike out in desperate ways. There have been so

many attacks, if you look back at power shower, there are so many

children -- Pesce well. Pakistani is angry that their government is not

able to have a funfair on an Easter Sunday secure. I think the important

thing right now is the actions that the government is taking, we are

intensifying our intelligence led and paramilitary led crackdown in

part of southern Punjab. There are raids going on as I speak. You know,

there is always a sense of shock and grief when something so barbaric

takes place. But it is obviously the responsibility of the government of

then take action, but because we have been taking actions, remember,

the militants are also striking out as a backlash to the very strong

action which has been taken in the tribal areas, and that continues to

be taken in some of our urban centres. Ambassador, some would say

that actually the government is not stringent enough. For example,

clamping down on radical extremists who protest in the streets against

Christian minorities, and that they feel enough has not been done to

stop that speech and actually take a stand. Well, we do have an action

plan that went into operation a year ago, and I think if you read the

statistics, this is not to say that the challenge is by any means, way,

the challenge is great. But I think if you look at the statistics from

the peak in 2014, we are actually looking at a decline in terrorist

actions in Pakistan. However, when something as big as what happened in

Lahore takes place, actually the government will act even more

decisively than it has in the past, and that is why I said, at the

moment, there are raids going on, we take that we are making progress in

our investigation. As the Prime Minister said, we are determined to

bring the culprits to justice, and we will make sure that the blood of

Jordan has not been spilt in vain. Has there been any concrete result

from the investigation -- blood of our children. We are making

progress, as I said, certain arrests have been made, and interrogations

are going on. We will only really know what's we have this

interrogation process completed. But the actions continue. -- once we

have. We have been intensifying or actions against militants in the

North and tribal areas, that is why they have been trying to flee those

areas and they have tried to regain their space. My government is

determined not to allow them to regain that space. Pakistan's

ambassador to the United Nations, joining us from New York, thank you.

Let's to Washington, DC now. The US Capitol Police chief is giving a

news conference that we can watch. We believe that the suspect is

now... How was he known to you? Through previous contacts. Did he

disrupt... I can't comment on that right now. Have charges been filed?

Not at this point. There has been a lot of talk about security lately.

This checkpoint was designed to identify a threat before it began in

the capital. With this work the way it was designed to? It appears that

the screening process works the way it was posted, that is correct.

Again, this is preliminary, I know you want as much information as I

can possibly give you, but without confirming some things I really

don't want to give you bad information, I'd rather just give

the information when we confirm it. I will try to provide as much

information as I can so that you can certainly get it out to the public.

I want to thank you very much. SHOUTING

STUDIO: As we are seeing, some of the pictures from the press

conference. He didn't give very much information, just lying before we

came to it was that the capital will open for business on Tuesday -- just

the line. The reporters had hundreds of questions, but he was not

prepared to answer any of them just yet. He felt the screening process

did work, however, he said that, which is quite interesting. So we

will keep an eye on that story as it develops. With hundreds of millions

of young children in India, it is little wonder that the market in

clothing is big business and getting bigger, worth about $10 billion

today, expected to double by 2023 according to one consultancy. It is

partly down to foreign brands. Urban Indians love to shop, and when it

comes to close, it is not just the adult the brands are after. --

clothes. Indians have traditionally bought children's clothes from

neighbourhood stores, mostly non-branded and locally made. But as

more people travel abroad and have rising disposable incomes, demand

for brands have gone up. It is mauled like this that many people

shop. Like this lady, who is picky about what her son wears. She used

to shop at when travelling, an order from stores outside the country, but

says that is no longer so necessary. The shopping binge by well of Indian

parents is good news for brands like Mothercare. And its plans to start

making some of the most popular products in India. Feeding bottles,

wipes, diapers, toiletries, pushchairs, car seats, or being made

in India. Anything is manufactured. It is manufactured in India. We are

going to take this further, we are going to manufacture much more. But

not everybody is able to cash in on the boom. This was the country's

largest kids wear brand, at its peak the company had nearly 300 stores

and employed close to 22,000 people across the country. But now 80% of

those stores have shot, after struggling with high rents and

expanding too fast. You can get more on our top story, the shooting out

of Washington, DC, on our website, and use they with the BBC for

updates. But for me, for now, goodbye, and I will see you
