Buckingham Palace says King Charles III's state visit to the US - which begins on Monday - will "proceed as planned", with some minor adjustments.

The decision comes after a gunman gained access to an event attended by President Donald Trump in Washington DC on Saturday.

Asked about the security implications for the royal visit, the US president told CBS' 60 Minutes on Sunday that the grounds of the White House, where King Charles will visit, are "really safe".

The King and Queen's programme will go ahead largely as planned, Buckingham Palace said, with the UK government hoping it could ease diplomatic tensions.

One of the UK's largest chicken producers and a water company are in the High Court on Monday accused of polluting the rivers Wye, Lugg and Usk.

More than 4,500 people who live or work near the rivers along the Welsh-English border have signed up to take part in what's being seen as a landmark case against Avara Foods and Welsh Water.

Their lawyers say it's the biggest case ever brought in the UK over environmental pollution in terms of the number of claimants and its geographical spread.

Avara, which dominates chicken farming in the area, and Welsh Water, have respectively called the claims "misconceived" and "misguided".

Cole Tomas Allen was named as the suspect by US media. The 31-year-old was arrested after police said he opened fire near a security checkpoint during the event and he is due to appear in court on Monday.

President Donald Trump and his officials were the "likely" targets of a suspected gunman who attempted to storm the White House Correspondents' Dinner, acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche has said.

The suspect, named by US media as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen, was arrested after police said he opened fire near a security checkpoint during the event at a Washington DC hotel on Saturday.

Blanche, speaking to NBC News, said the alleged gunman's motive is still under investigation, but that "preliminary" findings suggest he was targeting administration officials.

Trump, who was rushed off the stage to safety, told reporters at a briefing after the shooting on Saturday: "I can't imagine that there's any profession that's more dangerous".

In a statement on Sunday, the White House said Trump "stands fearless" after surviving, alongside cabinet members, "an assassination attempt when shots were fired".

The White House Correspondents' Association president, Weijia Jiang, called the attack "harrowing".

On Sunday, Jiang, who was sat next to Trump at the dinner, thanked the Secret Service for actions which "protected thousands of guests". She added the board will meet and determine how to proceed, and will release updates when available.

Trump told Fox News that the suspect "had a lot of hatred in his heart for a while", and said his family knew he had "difficulties". He added that the suspect had a "manifesto".

On the 40th anniversary of the worst civilian nuclear disaster, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of "nuclear terrorism".

In a statement on the anniversary, Zelensky said Russian drones were routinely flying over the site of Chernobyl as it remains in an active war zone following Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Last year, Ukraine claimed a Russian drone had hit the dome covering reactor four, which still needs repairs to ensure future safety of the site.

Today, we look at a report that suggests the US could review its position on Britain's claim to the Falkland Islands.

An internal Pentagon email reported by Reuters suggested the US was considering options to punish Nato allies it believed had failed to support its war on Iran.

The options discussed also included seeking Spain's suspension from Nato over its opposition to the war. BBC News has not been able to review the email.

In this special episode, five of the Newscast gang are together for a special programme from the BBC’s Maida Vale Studios in London as part of Cast Fest.

Adam, Chris, Laura, Paddy, and Henry also discuss whether the King’s visit to the US next week could smooth things over.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was in Pakistan on Saturday and presented Tehran's "views and considerations" on ending the war.

The US had said its delegation was going to join him in Islamabad for talks, but that trip was quickly cancelled once the Iranian Foreign Minister left.
