BBC World Service - BBC OS, Maine shooting: Manhunt continues

Hundreds of officers search for the Maine shooting suspect

Hundreds of officers search for the Maine shooting suspect.

A manhunt for a US army reservist suspected of murdering 18 people and injuring 13 others in a mass shooting in Maine has entered its third day. The mass shooting is considered to be the worst recorded in Maine. We hear from a local resident and speak to our correspondent in Lewiston.

The top UN official providing assistance to Palestinian refugees in Gaza has warned that many more people will die of shortages there, unless more aid is allowed in. We talk about today's developments with our correspondent in Jerusalem.

Taylor Swift is making headlines again -- this time after releasing a re-recorded version of her best selling album, 1989 and becoming a billionaire. We speak to a journalist in New York about the singer's achievements. 

Our medical editor tells us about six sets of conjoined twins who were invited to a gathering in the London hospital where they were treated, and some also separated, when they were babies. We also speak to a mother of twins that were separated - the boys ended up with one leg each. 

Presenter: James Reynolds.
