Latest reports say four women and two men were killed in the incident, in the Devinska Nova Ves district, on the city’s north-western outskirts.

The Slovak daily SME said the attacker was believed to be a drug-influenced 15-year-old boy who shot at neighbours with an automatic weapon.

The shooter’s fate is not yet clear.

Police rushed to the scene and sealed off the area, but details of the shooting remain sketchy.

A three-year-old child was reportedly among the 14 injured taken to hospital.

Go-ahead for ‘super college’ plan

New Campus Glasgow logoThe New Campus Glasgow project would cost about £300m

Plans to merge three Glasgow colleges have been approved by the Scottish government.

Ministers said educational benefits for students were at the heart of their decision to back the £300m proposals.

They said there was a “strong expectation” that there would be no compulsory redundancies as a result of merging Glasgow’s Nautical, Central and Metropolitan Colleges.

The new City of Glasgow College will have up to 50,000 students.

Summer Wine finale attracts 5.4m

Last of the Summer WineThe last word was given to Norman Clegg (Peter Sallis, left).

The final episode of long-running sitcom Last of the Summer Wine attracted 5.4 million viewers, according to overnight figures.

The show’s swansong picked up nearly a million extra viewers compared to last Sunday night’s episode on BBC One.

But the comedy, which has been axed following 37 years on air, attracted audiences of up to 20 million people in its heyday in the early 1980s.

Original character Norman Clegg delivered the show’s closing line.

Actor Peter Sallis said: “Did I lock the door?” in a nod to his increasing forgetfulness.

The last episode culminated in a routine about a pair of trouserless policemen and a bus in the charge of a hapless driver.

It was not a specially-written episode to mark the demise of the comedy.

The Yorkshire-based serial, written by Roy Clarke, is about a group of pensioners growing old disgracefully. It ran to 295 episodes.

Its best-loved characters over the years included Compo, who was played by the late Bill Owen, and Nora Batty, who was played by Kathy Staff until her death in 2008.

Pakistan floodwaters ‘receding’

Pakistanis displaced by flooding take shelter on the higher ground of an embankment near the flooded Indus River, outside Thatta, Sindh Province - 29 August 2010Millions of people are homeless and need emergency aid

Emergency officials in Pakistan say water levels in flood-stricken southern Pakistan are beginning to recede.

They warned, however, that water levels on the southern reaches of the Indus River were still “exceptionally high”.

The floods, triggered by torrential monsoon rains in the north-west, have moved south through the country, submerging towns and farmland.

More than 1,600 people have died and about six million left homeless in Pakistan’s worst flooding.

In total, about 17 million of Pakistan’s 166 million people have been affected by the disaster.

The danger of flooding remained high, but levels were beginning to drop as the surge of water that had been flowing north-south across Pakistan reached the Arabian Sea, said Hadi Baksh, an emergency official in southern Sindh province.

“In the coming days, the towns and villages will be out of flood danger,” he said.

Analysis

Relief goods are pouring into Pakistan from all over the world.

But aid agencies admit they are still only reaching a small proportion of the people who need help.

In Sindh, the worst affected province, the aid effort is focused on people in relief camps.

The aid agency Oxfam says that as well as giving food and water, it has also started handing out cash vouchers.

These allow families to choose goods from local shops. But they only work in areas where shops have stock – and only those in camps are getting them.

The majority who can not get into camps are simply fending for themselves on whatever dry ground they can find.

Pakistan’s meteorological department said water inflows at the Kotri barrage were receding but that the Indus River there would “continue in exceptionally high flood level” for another day.

Weather official Qamar-uz-Zaman Chaudhry said: “We believe that it will take another 10 to 12 days for rivers in Sindh to come to normal flow. Therefore we need to be watchful.”

The town of Thatta, downstream from the Kotri barrage, was hastily evacuated as the swollen Indus breached an embankment.

A major inundation was avoided thanks to the hasty rebuilding of levees around the town, said Mr Baksh, and people were beginning to return to their homes.

But on the other side of the river, the town of Sujawal was submerged.

Almost the entire population managed to evacuate the town, however.

“We estimate that there are still up to 400 people in Sujawal and the surrounding villages and they are being rescued by boats,” Mr Baksh said.

A month after the floods began, the effort is still focused on the first stage of relief, rescuing and evacuating people.

Many people remain cut off by vast lakes and desperately need shelter, food and clean water.

About 72,000 children were already affected by severe malnutrition, UN officials said.

There is a risk too of the spread of disease as the floods ebb, leaving behind large pools of stagnant water.

But relief agencies have warned that unless reconstruction begins immediately, Pakistan will face devastating problems.

The UN’s World Food Programme estimates that the floods have damaged about 14% of the country’s cultivated land. With damage to crops estimated at almost $3bn (£1.9bn), the country will need help feeding its population for some time.

The government has announced incentives for farmers in Punjab and the north-western province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where floodwaters have receded, to get on with the winter sowing season, says the BBC’s Ilyas Khan in Islamabad.

Muslim nations have donated nearly $1bn (£640m) to help Pakistan, said Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, the head of the Organization of the Islamic Conference.

Other nations have also pledged hundreds of millions of dollars, but officials say it will take many billions for Pakistan to recover from the disaster.
