still in a strong position at 346—7. my still in a strong position at 346—7. my view here encompasses a lot of spectators wearing red shirts. there is a great deal of admiration around the ground for the work andrew strauss is doing now. there might be a few england fans attempted to allure him out of retirement because at some point england today will have to bat and the batting has looked a little shaky so far this summer, to say the least. it is unique being at a lunch interval at lord's. at the boundary edge i have found a stray champagne cork stop i will return that and try to find a cup of t. i will return that and try to find a cu of t. ., , will return that and try to find a cuoft. .,, will return that and try to find a cu oft. ., , ., ., cup of t. i do believe you. now for a look at the _ cup of t. i do believe you. now for a look at the weather. _ the weekend is upon us and the weather is looking a little mixed with some rain and sunshine in the

forecast. tomorrow for these areas it might go downhill. there is a lot of cloud in parts of the uk. a weather front is heading towards us, at the moment it is across the atlantic. scattered clouds and really a nice day. showers in scotland will continue in the afternoon, especially in the north—west of scotland. this next weather system is no pressure. it is on the edge of the forecast area. that is what is going on in the atlantic. this is what we have tomorrow morning. rain in northern ireland. this weather front. tomorrow morning. rain in northern ireland. this weatherfront. around here. tomorrow for glasgow and edinburgh it is not looking too bad at all. some of the rainbow also affect western areas. notice the

south coast, over the channel is looking pretty good. on the weather front it is a messy picture with all sorts of weather happening tomorrow. it depends where you are. for some it will be a great day, for others bristly and grey stop the low pressure is slow moving. that means the cloud and murk hangs around for a little while. on sunday, the weather front will drift further north. outbreaks of rain here. the south mayjust about brighten up stop the south—east and the south will have its best day on sunday whereas the north of the country will have its best day now. temperatures around 17 to 22 degrees for the weekend will stop the wind direction is coming in from the north said that will keep things relatively cool. temperatures in the far north of the country feeling a

little autumnal. in lerwick, around 13, 14. the week ahead next week no i3, 14. the week ahead next week no big changes i think in the weather. whatever weather you have, enjoy the weekend. a reminder of our top story... police say jake davison — the gunman who killed five people in plymouth last night — had a licence to hold firearms. a three—year—old girl and a man in his 40s were among the victims as well as a woman in 50s and another in her 60s who died of head injuries in her 60s who died of head injuries in hospital. that's all from the bbc news at one. so it's goodbye from me and, on bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc�*s good afternoon. and here's your latest sports news. hello, i'm austin halewood with your latest sports news. it's lunch on day two of the second test between england

and india at lords. and england have just about got themselves back into the match, although india are still in a strong position after resuming on a massive 276—3. england did get off to the perfect start though... with olly robinson taking the wicket of kl rahul with the second ball of the morning. he went for 129. and just an over later, james anderson got ajinkya rahane for one, with his first ball of the day. mark wood and moeen ali have taken one more each to leave the indians on 3a6—7 at lunch. the chairman of the british olympic association, hugh robertson, says it's very disappointing to hear of sprinter cj ujah�*s positive test for a banned substance. the british sprinter, who led off the 4x100 metre relay team, on their way to silver at the olympics last week, has been provisionally suspended by the athletics integrity unit. it means the entire relay team could now lose their medals.

the aiu said a test from the british champion, showed evidence of a prohibited substance. the athlete remains innocent until proven guilty while the process goes on but it is a process which we must respect. on but it is a process which we must resect. , , ., ., respect. every single athlete who com etes respect. every single athlete who competes at _ respect. every single athlete who competes at an — respect. every single athlete who competes at an olympics - respect. every single athlete who competes at an olympics knows i respect. every single athlete who i competes at an olympics knows the rules. we spend a lot of time and money educating athletes on the consequences and they know the rules and the consequences if it goes wrong. and after 82 days away, the premier league returns tonight with newly promoted brentford hosting arsenal. it's the first time the two sides will have met in the top flight since 1947, and it should be a full house for the first time at the new brentford community stadium. i expect two things from friday night. one, that my players are running themselves to the ground. two, that the fans are right behind us through every single minute of that match. because that is like the kick—off

to a new world that we've never tried before. so we're all very excited. you know, historically, and what they've done the last few years, very clear direction. i think from top to bottom in the club, they know what they want to do. they execute it really well. and i think they will be a really tough opponent for every team in the premier league. liverpool fans have been given a boost ahead of their first match at norwich on saturday. talisman virgil van dyk who missed most of last season through injury has signed a new contract with the club. the defender has extended his stay until the summer of 2025. van dijk only played five league games last season because of an acl injury, but he's now followed trent alexander—arnold, fabinho and alisson in signing new deals with the club this summer. we are really happy that he is happy

also died, as well as a 59—year—old man, and a 66—year—old woman. the home secretary priti patel said her thoughts will be with all those affected by the mass shooting. she also gave an on afghanistan. the events that have taken place in plymouth are tragic, and we're hearing more and more information. we have heard from the chief constable this morning. first of all, i just want to give my condolences and sympathy to the family and friends of everybody that is involved. and also praise to the emergency services and the police for the rapid response. we have heard from the chief constable that the police particularly were there within six minutes. the chief constable, shaun sawyer, who was in touch with me last night and has been throughout, and clearly we are being updated in terms of everything that is now materialising. key information about the events, the tragedy, and those that have been involved. the attacker, this man who has murdered a number of other people, he had a firearms licence.

how is that possible, and do you need to review the checks on people who have these licenses? well, first of all, when it comes to firearms licensing, that is absolutely what the police oversee. and clearly i will be asking questions, definitely, in terms of local policing, and raising this with the chief constable. but i think right now, the tragedy happened last night, and there are a lot of issues, implications, lives have been lost, people have been murdered, this is absolutely tragic and devastating. and for the entire community right now, this will be deeply shocking. so obviously that is where the focus is. there will be a range of questions that will inevitably be asked, and i will be doing exactly the same in conversations and discussions i will be having with the chief constable. it seems really clear that this man had links to the online subculture incel. do you think that you and the police forces that you are in charge of

are doing enough to combat online extremism? the whole issue of online activity and incitement and extremism is an enormous issue. it is actually something the government is working on already, through legislation that is forthcoming this autumn. but i think importantly we should also put this into the context of what has happened overnight. we have to look at further details. the investigations by the police will obviously give us more information through the intelligence into what has happened. and i am very clear about this, we will always learn lessons from incidents, tragic events like this, particularly where there are key factors, online activity for example, we have already touched on other aspects such as the firearm itself. we need to find out the facts. let's establish the facts behind this. and of course we will work to do everything to make sure that if there are issues with the online space post this incident, that we will look to follow that up. some of your critics might argue

the lack of a security minister at the moment means it is more difficult for the government to keep a hold on such difficult, developing issues. i would say that is absolutely not the case. i am the home secretary and i oversee security issues. and i have been doing that throughout, and that is nothing to do in relation to the point that you have made. i have been kept fully updated, and on all issues, all incidents including those types of issues and incidences that don't even reach the public awareness and consciousness, i am fully sighted and fully aware of everything that goes on. one more question about afghanistan and the impact of afghanistan on immigration. do you have a strategy, and will you be reviewing the deportation of people to afghanistan? i think first and foremost what we are witnessing in afghanistan right now is absolutely unprecedented, and there is enormous collective effort from across government, you have been speaking to the defence secretary this morning as well. and you will have heard first hand

our concerns, there are serious concerns. a tragedy is unfolding, a humanitarian crisis emerging, and we are working to ensure that we bring people from afghanistan, both british nationals, those who have been working for the government, and with the government and supporting us, including people of afghan nationality, to the united kingdom. there is an enormous resettlement programme that the defence secretary and i are overseeing. so that is our priority right now. and, of course, when it comes to issues such as deportations, our policy is always under review, when the world is in a terrible state. and i think we must reflect right now in terms of what is happening in afghanistan and in the region itself. this government is absolutely clear in terms of our own commitments to the british nationals over there that we are bringing out, but also to the people of afghanistan who we have spent a great deal of time and resource over a number of years, women and girls included as well, to give them support, and our resettlement scheme

is absolutely speaking to that. the home secretary talking about afghanistan and the murders in plymouth yesterday. we have more information about jake davison who was 22. it looks like he wrote about mass shootings in a social media post three weeks ago, he posted, it looks like he had previous knowledge about mass shootings in the uk. elsewhere he contributed two pages devoted to in nvoluntary celibates culture, they define themselves as unable to find partners despite wanting such relationships, often there is misogyny, self—pity, entitlement, and the endorsement of violence against women and sexually active men. jake davison complained about being a virgin and said, i

cannot attract women at all. a month ago he told an internet group, saying he was better, had a job as a crane operator. but expressed misogynistic views. i am aware there is a lot of detail about the man who carried out these killings, as soon as we have details from police about those who were killed by jake davison, we will of course renew them. this morning devon and cornwall police chief constable shaun sawyer gave this briefing. last night, police received multiple calls at 6:11pm to an address in biddick drive. the number of calls were considerable and were assessed and it was later revealed shots were being fired. that is, as i say, came in from multiple calls from the public. officers arrived at the scene within six minutes, including both unarmed and armed officers.

it is our understanding and i confirm a man known as jake davison aged 22 had murdered a woman at an address in biddick drive, using a firearm. i will not reveal that address as we are still contacting the members of the family of the lady who has died. we will reveal that address later in more detailfor you. mr davison then left that address, entered biddick drive where he immediately shot and killed a very young girl. he also shot and killed the male relative of that girl. this was a truly shocking event, and was witnessed by members of the public. further along biddick drive, he aimed and shot at two local residents, a man and a woman, who have received significant but we understand at present not life—threatening injuries.

they are currently being treated at a local hospital, and supported by specialist officers. again there are witnesses to this. from there, mr davison entered adjacent parkland where he immediately shot a man who died at the scene. and thereafter he moved to henderson place where he shot a woman who, despite the best endeavours of first aiders at the scene, later died at derriford hospital. eye witnesses have told us that then mr davison turned the gun upon himself taking his own life. they have described that firearm as a pump action shotgun. i can confirm that a firearm has been retrieved from that scene and will be forensically examined. we are not yet describing that as a pump action firearm but clearly as i have said multiple shots had been fired from a firearm

during that six minute or so period. there are some 13 scenes and potentially more scenes. overnight you will have heard we evacuated members of the public. that evacuation was primarily to ensure that there were not other persons who had been shot, injured or killed in the neighbouring premises. as i repeat, there were therefore five people of plymouth who have lost their lives overnight, and mr davison himself, including a particularly young child. we are not at this time naming the details of those people because not only are we working with the families, but each one of them has wider families throughout the united kingdom, many of those people have work colleagues as well within plymouth and we will want to ensure those businesses as far as possible are supported.

the community of plymouth is strong and this morning we have had many meetings with community partners and all of them have commented on the strength of community but the response of the blue light agencies overnight, particularly colleagues from the air ambulance and at derriford hospital, and responding officers, and the councillors at plymouth city council. the police and crime commissioner and home secretary were updated overnight and the police and crime commissioner is here in plymouth this morning. i would ask people not to contact police within devon and cornwall unless it is truly now an emergency as we are very, very busy as i am sure you will understand. in respect to this investigation, there is a casualty bureau number of 01752 487880.

if anyone has any information about the investigation and i repeat if people are traumatised and they inevitably will be, then to contact that other number. clearly i will take some questions and answer as best i can. if i can't answer, i will explain why and we will seek to answer those questions for you over the coming hours and days. do you know if the gunman had a licence, and what was the motive for the attack? we can confirm mr davison is a firearms licence holder. i am not able to confirm whether that was the firearm used. the second question was? the motive? you have ruled out terrorism. there is no motive as we know at present. again that will be subject to inquiry but we are at the moment not considering terrorism or a relationship with any far—right group or any such other group. but clearly he is on social media and that will be passed

to the investigation. can you say how long he had that license? — license? i- license? i can get that detail for license? — i can get that detail for you, suddenly he was a licence holder in 2020. will there be a review of the decision—making process? as part— decision—making process? as part of an investigation into any shooting we will look at where a licence holder was licensed by devon and cornwall police. that will be an independent review and are making contact with police complaints, or whether it is conducted by another force. i will take this one here and then you. (inaudible). the question was he receiving treatment for mental health issues? again we will will look at that, clearly this is an unusual response

by a fellow human being. whether there were mental health issues i cannot say at this time but we will inform yourself and work with the coroner who will ask us to explore those avenues of inquiry. can you tell us whether any witnesses reported him saying anything? clearly he has pointed a anynnang? — clearly he has pointed a firearm, whether anything was said i will find out from those people. i think most people at the moment were just shocked at what was unfolding before them. we do have specialist officers with all the witnesses and if there is any video footage we would ask for that to be passed to us. for the moment i am not aware of any conversation. did any of your officers fired shots? _ shots? no, he had taken snots? — no, he had taken his life before then.

(inaudible). | (inaudible). lam aware (inaudible). i am aware there is communication on social media, it is not to hide anything from you but if we get that we will tell you that in the fullness of time. and did he have any convictions? i and did he have any convictions? lam _ and did he have any convictions? lam not — and did he have any convictions? i am not able to reveal that at this time but we will put that out later. we will get back to you if that is appropriate, we will be guided by the coroner. (inaudible). | (inaudible). i will (inaudible). i will not confirm where members who lost their lives worked or where they were at school because we need to work with those companies. why was there such a big window before _ why was there such a big window before the — why was there such a big window before the emergency— why was there such a big window before the emergency services i why was there such a big window . before the emergency services came over? _ over? . because over? - because we — because we were searching to see whether this was a lone individual, whether this was a lone individual, whether there were other

individuals. this was a fast developing scene. was this a loan agent? we were not clear weather it was a terrorist incident so we wanted to keep the public safe until we were sure. how long was that? it how long was that? it was _ how long was that? it was several hours. a number of people lost their lives in a short— a number of people lost their lives in a short space _ a number of people lost their lives in a short space of— a number of people lost their lives in a short space of time, _ a number of people lost their lives in a short space of time, how- in a short space of time, how confident— in a short space of time, how confident are _ in a short space of time, how confident are you _ in a short space of time, how confident are you in - in a short space of time, how confident are you in the - in a short space of time, how. confident are you in the actions in a short space of time, how- confident are you in the actions of your offices — confident are you in the actions of your offices in _ confident are you in the actions of your offices in getting _ confident are you in the actions of your offices in getting to - confident are you in the actions of your offices in getting to the - confident are you in the actions ofi your offices in getting to the scene quickly? _ quickly? as - quickly? - as confident as quickiy? - as confident as i quickiy? — as confident as i can be, the response time was six minutes on a warm summers evening from the time of the call, i would believe is very, very quick. it is very clear, at the moment, i am extraordinarily proud of my offices in their response. but if something comes out that we could have done more, but i think six minutes is a pretty good response. are you aware whether he had any radicei— are you aware whether he had any radical views? _ are you aware whether he had any

radicalviews? (inaudible). - radical views? (inaudible). the question— radicalviews? (inaudible). the question was, _ radicalviews? (inaudible). the question was, have - radicalviews? (inaudible). the question was, have we i the question was, have we disregarded terrorism? that is not the focus at the moment due to the information we have which i am not able to reveal now. if that changes, we are liaising with scotland yard and the counterterrorism command, they will guide us. three more questions. you said your offices arrived within six minutes — you said your offices arrived within six minutes. (inaudible). we have got roughly, roughly a matter of minutes between the taking of a life of the lady at the address, and the gentleman taking his own life. we are talking minutes. in those minutes, five others lost their lives. this

gentleman here. bear with me. he described himself on social media as autistic _ as autistic. more details about mr debs will as autistic. — more details about mr debs will come out. i know all of you work in social media but i will only confirm the facts as i understand them. how many people were in the address? was he _ how many people were in the address? was he known — how many people were in the address? was he known to— how many people were in the address? was he known to police _ how many people were in the address? was he known to police at _ how many people were in the address? was he known to police at all? - how many people were in the address? was he known to police at all? was - was he known to police at all? was he carry— was he known to police at all? was he carry more than one firearm? he was— he carry more than one firearm? he was known to police because he was a licensed firearms holder. i will come back on that in more detail. mr davison had 22 years or so whether we encountered him earlier in his life, that is something we are researching. we have only recovered one firearm at this time. how long did it take for armed officers — how long did it take for armed officers to— how long did it take for armed officers to arrive? _ officers to arrive? they _ officers to arrive? they arrived - officers to arrive? they arrived at. officers to arrive? - they arrived at roughly the officers to arrive? _

they arrived at roughly the same time. plymouth has a number of armed response units as you know. it is a major city and a naval city. we will get the details out to you as soon as we can. in essence, if one looks at all the terrorist incidents as we have seen, any kind of police response of six minutes is a phenomenal response. only the coroner will tell us whether we could have done more. but at the moment i think that kind of call to response in any city is extremely, extremely responsive. but the firearms officer —— offices, in a major city that is a quick response in my view. what was his relationship to the women — what was his relationship to the women and _ what was his relationship to the women and how— what was his relationship to the women and how many— what was his relationship to the women and how many people i what was his relationship to the i women and how many people were what was his relationship to the - women and how many people were at the address? — the address? as _ the address? as i - the address? as i said - the address? as i said i- the address? i as i said i would the address? - as i said i would not the address? _ as i said i would not touch on the address? — as i said i would not touch on the relationship. there is a familial relationship. there is a familial relationship but we are looking to confirm that. that is the first woman i assume you are referring to in the premises. we are looking to

see whether that is a familial relationship. suddenly the individuals were known to each other. in terms of the other individuals we don't yet know whether they were known to each other. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz. the weekend is almost upon us and the weather is looking a little hit and miss, it will depend where you are going to be over the weekend. some of us will get some rain, not particularly prolonged but wet weather around, but also sunshine in the forecast. right now there is a fair bit of cloud across the country, shower clouds across scotland, in places quite overcast in the south, so the best of the weather through friday from lincolnshire, the midlands, northern wales, feeling warmest in one or two spots, around 23, so a decent day. notice the showers and an atlantic breeze continuing especially in western and northern scotland. through the night, out towards the south—west we have got this next weather front coming

in bringing milderair but it is damp, with grey cloud and mist around coasts. if you live in cornwall and devon, you will be familiar with that weather pattern, that moist south—westerly flow. saturday afternoon, fine weather for much of scotland, glasgow and edinburgh seeing some sunshine. not so bad in the lake district — cloudy. and this weather front stretching across central parts with outbreaks of rain. in the south in the afternoon on saturday it looks as though there will be sunshine. southampton, portsmouth, it should not be too bad. saturday, on balance, not a bad day. here is sunday. the low pressure is with us. the weather fronts are over us and again you can see some cloud and rain across northern parts of england, northern ireland, a bit of a breeze as well. it might brighten up across the south. but in scotland on the other hand

in the north we have showers coming in on quite a cool northerly wind off the north atlantic. off the norwegian sea. this is what it looks like on monday. that northerly continues, quite a chilly wind. there will be a hint of autumn in the air across parts of northern scotland, it will be quite chilly. whereas in the south, variable amounts of cloud, some spits and spots of rain, but still around 20. lerwick, only 13, aberdeen, 15 on monday. goodbye.

this is bbc news, the headlines. police confirm a three—year—old girl was among the five victims of yesterday's shooting in plymouth. the gunman, 22—year—old jake davison, had a licence for a firearm. the incident is the worst mass shooting in britain since 2010. when it comes to firearm licensing, that is absolutely what the police oversee and clearly i will be asking questions. taliban militants have captured afghanistan's second biggest city, kandahar. a man who tricked an elderly woman out of £140 by pretending to give her a coronavirus vaccine has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison. results from a new study suggest metabolism remains steady after the age of 20, meaning so—called �*middle—aged

spread' can't be blamed.
