this family escaped the violence, but say they still don't feel safe. translation: we're thirsty. we're hungry. we have no home. other makeshift camps are even bigger. but this, in the heart of the city, shows how quickly the country is unravelling. we don't want to go back to the era where our sisters and our education sector and the development sector was so shattered, we don't want to go back to that. fighting erupted around mazar—i—sharif. it was one of the last major cities still under government control and had been a bastion of anti—taliban resistance. security forces were fleeing to the border with uzbekistan as the insurgents took it over. once in kandahar, their spiritual home, the taliban cemented

their position with a flag—hoisting ceremony. finally addressing the nation this morning, president ghani didn't comment on rumours he may resign. instead, simply promising to re—mobilise beleaguered forces. for now, for many people here in kabul, life is continuing more or less as normal but the taliban are getting closer and closer to the city and there is increasing concern that a fierce and protracted battle for control of kabul could be imminent. the speed of the taliban's advance has led to the us and uk together deploying more than 5,500 troops to afghanistan to repatriate their citizens and many of their embassy staff. many afghan cities are now being handed over to the taliban, following local deals with the security forces. that may be the only way to avoid even more suffering in kabul, too, but would mean

an end to life here as residents know it. prayers will be said in churches in plymouth today for the five victims of britain's worst mass shooting for more than a decade. it comes as a former commissioner of the metropolitan police says officers should trawl through the social media accounts of people applying for a shotgun licence, after questions were raised about why the gunman�*s permit was granted. simonjones reports. after the shock, the disbelief, the angen after the shock, the disbelief, the anuer. ., , after the shock, the disbelief, the anuer. ., ._ , after the shock, the disbelief, the anuer. ., , ., ., anger. today will be a time of contemplation _ anger. today will be a time of contemplation to _ anger. today will be a time of contemplation to remember | anger. today will be a time of. contemplation to remember five anger. today will be a time of- contemplation to remember five lives cut short. the gunman�*s mother, shot at a house typically martin and his three—year—old daughter sophie killed in the street. kate shepherd from cornwall, who died in hospital.

assault and posted hate filled brands online? if he was clearly that unstable then his gun license should never have been returned. if it had not have been returned in this atrocity would not have happened. so many people would not have lost loved ones. that happened. so many people would not have lost loved ones.— have lost loved ones. that is now beinu have lost loved ones. that is now being examined _ have lost loved ones. that is now being examined by _ have lost loved ones. that is now being examined by the _ have lost loved ones. that is now being examined by the police - being examined by the police watchdog. a former commissioner of the metropolitan police has told the sunday telegraph that officers should look through social media accounts of people who are seeking fire alarms licenses to ensure that guns do not fall into the hands of dangerous people. as investigations continue, so do the questions that the community urgently wants answers for. at least 300 people have been killed by the latest devastating earthquake to hit haiti. nearly 2,000 others were injured when the 7.2 magnitude tremor hit the west of the country yesterday morning. the prime minister said there was "extensive damage" and declared a month—long state of emergency. azadeh moshiri reports.

of the country. at least one person has died, and three people are missing. more than a metre of rain has fallen in the past three days causing landslides and 1a rivers to burst their banks. all 16 and 17—year—olds in england are to be offered their first dose of a coronoavirus vaccine by next monday. the health secretary, sajid javid, says the timing will allow teenagers to build up maximum immunity before they return to school in september. thousands will be invited by text and letter, to book their appointment at one of more than 800 gp—led vacination sites. by the government. finning is the practice of removing the animals' fins at sea and discarding the rest of the shark. it's hoped that stopping the import and export of the fins will improve conservation, with some species of shark already critically endangered, as graham

satchell reports. they are magnificent creatures that have graced the earth's oceans for more than 400 million years. at the shop population is being threatened by overfishing. it is estimated that 75 million sharks are killed every year. fishermen are after one thing, the fin. shark fins are a lucrative delicacy, particularly popular in the far eastern countries. when sharks are caught the fins are removed and the animal is then discarded, often still alive, removed and the animal is then discarded, often stillalive, back into the sea. the practice, known as finning, was banned in uk waters more than 20 years ago. but under eu rules, the fins themselves could still be imported and exported. the government has now banned the trade entirely. government has now banned the trade entirel . �* , ., ., , entirely. anything that discourages the action entirely. anything that discourages the aetion of— entirely. anything that discourages the action of shark _ entirely. anything that discourages the action of shark finning - entirely. anything that discourages the action of shark finning which i entirely. anything that discourages the action of shark finning which is | the action of shark finning which is the action of shark finning which is the removal of shark fins at sea and disposal of the carcasses to be encouraged. this is the next step in a history of proactive moves by the

since they helped to spearhead the first ban in 2003 and championed the policy of the removal of shark fins at sea several years before the adoption of the same policy by the eu in 2013. the uk market in shark fin is small compared to other countries. the government says it is sending a message, that it does not support an industry that is forcing many species of shark to the brink of extinction. it is 11 minutes past six. let's return now to our top story, developments overnight in afghanistan. in the last few hours, the eastern afghan city of jalalbad has fallen to the taliban. it means that the capital — kabul — is the only major city not currently controlled by the militant group. let's speak now to local journalist bilal sarwary. good morning and thank you for your time. i know from your point of view

this is desperately worrying news. how significant is the fall of jalalabad?_ how significant is the fall of jalalabad?— how significant is the fall of jalalabad? ,., ., ., .,, jalalabad? good morning. iwas s-ueakin jalalabad? good morning. iwas speaking with — jalalabad? good morning. iwas speaking with the _ jalalabad? good morning. iwas speaking with the governor- jalalabad? good morning. iwas speaking with the governor of i jalalabad? good morning. iwas speaking with the governor of a | speaking with the governor of a province until 5am so he was confirming to me that he had been in touch with the taliban for two months and if he wanted no bloodshed, he wanted jalalabad, the city in eastern afghanistan, a major hub in that part of the country do not have bloodshed this is now a continuous trend of taliban and managing to secure surrenders and offering assurances on the morale among the afghan soldiers, the afghan national security forces is low. they refused to put up a fight. these are not tens, these are not hundreds, these are thousands of forces that could fight if they decided and the fall of these

capitals means, now, as you said, that the president is not only sidelined and badly wounded, you know, in terms of losing most of its forces and he is now literally only in carpal because this province was also key supply route to pakistan, key trade route. so we will have to see what happens. is that trend why we are seeing such a rapid rise in terms of the strength, the stranglehold that the taliban now exert over different provinces around afghanistan? simply because local leaders want to do everything they can to avoid bloodshed? i everything they can to avoid bloodshed?— everything they can to avoid bloodshed? ~' , ., bloodshed? i think it is the taliban work of months, _ bloodshed? i think it is the taliban work of months, if _ bloodshed? i think it is the taliban work of months, if not _ bloodshed? i think it is the taliban work of months, if not years - bloodshed? i think it is the taliban work of months, if not years to - work of months, if not years to identify and reach out to leaders, bearded district village level or a

provincial level but it is a demoralising trend where people were impacted by these mass surrenders. they started three months ago when the taliban got more than 200 district sensors that make centres. back then such surrenders were negotiated by elders. we also continue to see another trend whether tell about, you know, are basically surrendering, these people are surrendering to the taliban and then the taliban are dealing with them nicely, at least for the pr, and releasing them. so they have an appeal for the time and releasing them. so they have an appealfor the time being and all i can tell you is that these eastern provinces of which jalalabad is the major city, crumbling because they are also soldier providing

provinces. this is where they return to from all over the country, especially the south where the felt —— fighting was dense in various places. so it is, you know, a complex local afghan dynamic playing out and sometimes it is very hard to understand, but that is how it is. it still seems to be striking fear into many people right across afghanistan and that is why we see many people flee these areas with the taliban have taken over. many of them heading to carpal and others heading out of the country altogether. can you give us an idea of the crisis that this is creating among the afghan population now? more than a million people have been displaced according to afghanistan's independent human rights commission.

independent human rights commission. i think a very small portion of afghans, women and children, have managed to come to kabul. i've met some of them including women and children from several offences including in the north—east of the country. it's been a very deadly and brutal war, airstrikes, artillery, mortars have been hitting the city of kunduz, for example, a man we spoke to had lost his entire mung bean harvest, there are economic consequences as well but what is more of a tragedy is that millions of afghans, including women and children, were caught in attacks, in this situation, they cannot leave because the highways are not safe, transport is not reliable. 2o because the highways are not safe, transport is not reliable. 20 years after the international community,

the americans, the british and all others invested in blood and treasure, the end result is afghanistan is worse than it was in 2001. slightly back into the civil war. we have to also remember that afghanistan still doesn't have a credible or meaningful peace process, peace talks of failed, there is still no comprehensive prominence. with what we've seen from the taliban, they are more rigid, they are more extreme. and given the peace process has been derailed, can ask briefly, is it inevitable that kabul will fall and how quickly can that happen? we know that kabul is under massive threat because of the impact of provinces in and around kabulfalling. president ghani was seen as being

sidelined that around kabul and kabul is his priority and he said in the presence of the american ambassador. the fact that the americans are caring about airstrikes, to target the taliban and fired —— fighters, alone tells you how the situation is. in 2001 i was working as a translator back then the bbc after the fall of the taliban. these are the kind of strikes the americans were conducting. taliban officials of the time were either leading or surrendering. the fact that the tables have turned the other way, it actually tells you the horrific results of a number of wrong policies and the afghan government continued to live down their own people. continued to live down their own --eole. ~ �* . continued to live down their own eo . le, . �* ., ., continued to live down their own neale, . �* ., ., ., people. we'll have to leave it there but thank you _ people. we'll have to leave it there but thank you so _ people. we'll have to leave it there but thank you so much _ people. we'll have to leave it there but thank you so much for- people. we'll have to leave it there but thank you so much for your - people. we'll have to leave it there i but thank you so much for your time. thank you for giving us that picture

of what is going on in the ground. we will talk to various people about this story. we came into the news that jalalabad this story. we came into the news thatjalalabad had fallen, very strategically important. we will talk to a serviceman who served in a understand and someone involved with trying to promote women's rights in the country. we will talk to rory stewart, a former mp who knows the country extremely well and get his view on things. plenty to talk about through the morning. let's check in with darren who has the weather for us this morning. good morning. a bidder of mixture of weather around today, like we had yesterday in many respects. quite warm particularly for south—eastern parts of the uk. still a bit of rain around here and there and most of it is coming close to that area of low pressure moving very slowly and from the south—west.

there is a lot of cloud coming down approaching northern parts of scotland, significant in the next 24 hours or so. running through the midlands, through the south—east, some sunshine, a bit of warmth and showers coming into wales and the south—west. across northern england, it should rising up across northern ireland. more cloud and heavier showers coming into northern scott wind. quite cold as well. the highest and pictures for east anglia in the south—east. it will fade away overnight and showers moving down across scotland into the north—east of england, most of the rain heading out into the north sea. overnight tonight, we could see temperatures in the clear skies down to seven or eight degrees. low pressure is heading its way towards scandinavia, drawing down the north—westerly breeze and on that weather front, a

great deal of rain, drawing down cooler air on that north—westerly breeze behind that. temperatures for many areas will be lower tomorrow. we will find the sunshine coming there, notjust across eastern scotland, increasingly down the eastern side of england, head further west, eastern side of england, head furtherwest, more eastern side of england, head further west, more cloud coming in from the atlantic, a few light showers around as well. look at those temperatures, disappointing really but this time of year, 16 in aberdeen, could make 20 degrees perhaps in london at the very best. we got high pressure sitting to the south—west of the uk, it never quite reaches our shores, coming in from the atlantic and containing a lot of moisture. we see that in the form of cloud. not a lot of sunshine on tuesday, could be patchy rain to clear away from some parts of england, leaving wanted to showers during the afternoon on tuesday, a lot of cloud around as well and those temperatures are struggling to around 90 degrees, so it's not particularly warm at all. the

weather is going to be settling down as we head into next week. we're still going to keep that north—westerly breeze, feeding on all the from the atlantic, there won't be a great deal of sunshine and considering its late summer, we should be seeing temperatures higher than what we are expect in, we're looking at the low 20s at the very best. that said, back to you. we will speak to you later. we are not exactly finishing the summer with a big bang. let's take a look at the pages. the sunday telegraph leading on the aftermath of the deadly shootings in plymouth. the police officer who says police should trawl through social media accounts of people applying for firearms licences, it's something that doesn't really happen at the moment. the website plymouth live carries a large photograph of the tributes to a father and his 3—year—old daughter, who both died in the attack.

the situation in afghanistan is the top story in today's observer. the paper reports that residents in kabul are looking for ways to escape the city as the taliban continue to gain territory across the country. and according to the mail on sunday, the bbc is going to attempt to "make amends" for the way martin bashir obtained his 1995 panorama interview with princess diana, by paying about £1.15 million to a charity chosen by the royal family. the bbc and kensington palace have not commented on the report. that return of the premier league will talk about with gavin soon, some cracking games last night. before we get into that, the clothes we wear can have a huge impact on the climate — more than two—million items of clothing end up in landfill every day and the fashion industry is thought to produce up to eight percent of all global emissions.

as we become more environmentally aware, there are moves to make fashion more sustainable, as harriet bradshaw reports. here today, gone tomorrow. fashion is moving so fast, is constant new trends hit the shops at cheap prices, but it means we've got to slow down to ask the question, what are these bargains costing the planet? is the third largest manufacturing sector in the world, the fashion industry produces a big chunk of the world's emissions, after 8% of the global total according to a new progress report and the emissions could increase with production. it's why currently 125 companies have committed to the fashion industry charter for climate action in an attempt to change our clothes and shoes are made and how much is produced. but if you are on a budget, what solutions are out there that don't cost the earth and terms of your purse strings and the planet? first up the experts say the

most sustainable option is the simplest, where what you already own. but if you are bored of your wardrobe, you can always swap items of clothing with friends and family, or via social media sites. and if it's broken, this charity says mended. remake scotland increased teachers people to learn skills to help fix things. it teachers people to learn skills to help fix things.— help fix things. it can almost be like meditation _ help fix things. it can almost be like meditation when _ help fix things. it can almost be like meditation when you - help fix things. it can almost be like meditation when you get i help fix things. it can almost be i like meditation when you get into sewing and at the end of it you produce something that is beautiful or useful and both. find produce something that is beautiful or useful and both.— produce something that is beautiful or useful and both. and they take on donated fabric. _ or useful and both. and they take on donated fabric. and _ or useful and both. and they take on donated fabric. and what _ or useful and both. and they take on donated fabric. and what would - or useful and both. and they take onj donated fabric. and what would have otherwise happened to this? it would have all ended _ otherwise happened to this? it would have all ended up _ otherwise happened to this? it would have all ended up in _ otherwise happened to this? it would have all ended up in landfill. - otherwise happened to this? it would have all ended up in landfill. all- have all ended up in landfill. all of it? resume ability, and it makes my heart. 50 of it? resume ability, and it makes m heart. ,, of it? resume ability, and it makes m heart. ., ., my heart. so if you want to look -- a new look. _ my heart. so if you want to look -- a new look, the _ my heart. so if you want to look -- a new look, the advice _ my heart. so if you want to look -- a new look, the advice is _ my heart. so if you want to look -- a new look, the advice is to - my heart. so if you want to look -- a new look, the advice is to give i a new look, the advice is to give your garments are longer life, making pre— loved clothes with an affordable option, with marketplaces including apps and charity shops. i love the kind of through the binding something, good value, something quirky, something industry ——

hello, this is breakfast with rachel burden and chris mason. the taliban has seized the eastern afghan city ofjalalabad. the capital — kabul — is now the only major city still under government control. it comes after the northern city of mazar—i—sharif was captured yesterday. tensions are rising in kabul as the militants continue their rapid advance across the country. prayers will be said in churches in plymouth today for the five victims of britain's worst mass shooting for more than a decade. it comes as a former commissioner of the metropolitan police says officers should trawl through the social media accounts of people applying for a firearms

license, after questions were raised about why the gunman's permit was granted. a strong after—shock has now struck haiti after a major earthquake 3oo haiti after a major earthquake 300 people. nearly 2,000 others were injured when the 7.2 magnitude tremor hit the west of the country yesterday morning. the prime minister said there was "extensive damage" and declared a month—long state of emergency. four people are in hospital with suspected gunshot wounds following an incident in north london. the metropolitan police have sealed off parts of clarence gardens near camden after reports of shots being fired just after ten o'clock last night. this is not being treated as terror related. all 16 and 17—year—olds in england are to be offered their first dose of a coronavirus vaccine by a week tomorrow. the health secretary, sajid javid, says the timing will allow teenagers to build up immunity before they return to school in september.

thousands will be invited by text and letter, to book their appointment at one of more than 800 gp—led vaccination sites. if you are interested in that you may have grandchildren due for their jab because they fall into that age bracket. we will talk to one of our regular gps about the after 7.3o regular gps about the after 7.30 this morning. but now at 25 minutes before seven, it is time for the travel show. india. 70 years after independence, this emerging world power of more than a billion people, is still changing. i'm on a journey to two extremes of this vast subcontinent. it is crystals. it's hard crystal. white salt. you can taste it. i began in gujarat, in the far west. this is genuinely incredible. i'm in heaven.

it's pretty crowded. and this week i have travelled 2,000 miles over to the north—east. i am on the banks of the mighty river brahmaputra and i am about to go to a very spiritual place. it is one of india's lesser—known regions. we're really high up, and just to my right is the border with bangladesh. a part of the country that prides itself on its traditions. he makes it look so easy. but it's incredibly difficult. but it is also looking forward and embracing progress. so now i am on my way to go and see assam's very own eco—warrior. it is going to be an incredible adventure. india's north—east.

a collection of eight states almost cut off from the rest of this vast country, but for a tiny strip of land. at partition, a large swathe of the region was sectioned off to become east pakistan which later became bangladesh, leaving the indian area landlocked. it is geographically and culturally out on a limb. this is frontier country, little known to tourists and other indians alike. they call it the land of clouds but that is because of the severe monsoon season. hilly, remote and the air is so crisp and fresh and the views... well, simply spectacular. it is this cool climate that made

the state of meghalaya and its capital shillong a popular retreat for the british during the colonial era. they dubbed it the scotland of the east. it is pretty crowded. but what about the city today? there is only one way to find out. we can get on. i took a bus into the city centre. it is a modern industrial town these days, shillong. bus engine grinds alarmingly i think those brakes may need some work. tell me, what do you think about shillong. this is your home city. what do you think?

more than half of meghalaya's population belong to the khasi tribe. and here at shillong's british—built polo ground, a traditional local sport is thriving here. but it sure ain't polo. every afternoon, hundreds of people gather from all around to take part in a really interesting daily ritual. this is called teer, derived from the hindi

word for arrow. a target is mounted and 50 archers have a few minutes to hit it as many times as possible. the significance of the sport dates back to the early 1800s when khasi warriors defended their homelands and not with guns nor swords, but with bows and arrows. i am aiming for the target, obviously, which is? the small one. the small one there? 0k. why is it going to the ground? show me. get out of the way, everyone. here we go. don't move. now we're getting there! spectators get involved by taking bets on the number of arrows that hit the target.

and, crucially, it is only the last two numbers of the total score that matter. they are all added up and the last two digits will be the result. 695 arrows. so 95 is the result. meghalaya became one of the few states to legalise gambling in 1982. people here are very superstitious. they dream about their family, a dog, cat and they try to make it into numbers. so i have 200 rupees of my hard—earned money here. i want to gamble. can you show me how to do it? let's go to one of these counters. namaste. hello.

i want to gamble on a lucky number, yeah? two digits. i want to go for... 39. and i will put 1oo rupees on 39 and on my other bet i will bet on 77. can you fix it so i win? it depends on your fortune. it depends on my fortune? i did have a dream last night that a strange dog walked past me and that dog had the number 39. is that the kind of dreams we all have? who knows. wish me luck. it is a tense moment as the numbers are counted. 310, 320...

and my dream turns out to be a shaggy dog story. 77 was my number. 97 was the result. still, two of my lucky numbers, nine and seven. next i head out of the city to explore the region's famed khasi hills and villages. incredible to think that despite landscapes like this, the north—east is one of the least visited areas of india. but things are slowly changing. we have been travelling out of shillong into the countryside towards the bangladesh border for about two hours now and it has been bumpy and rough roads until suddenly we reached this bit and it is beautifully smooth road. it would not look out of place in a major town. and we're heading towards a village with an interesting reputation.

the khasi hills are the only place in the world where you find bridges grown from the roots of the india rubber tree, or ficus elastica. we learnt how to construct them during the 1840s. this bridge was meant for the villagers to cross the river when they came back to their daily life, mainly agriculture. during that time there was no partition, no bangladesh, no pakistan so we had that link. during monsoon, the khasi hills are hit by record—breaking downpours, more than 20 feet of rain in a month. these are some of the wettest places on the planet. but people here have found

an ingenious way to harness nature in order to prevent the village from being cut off by floods. what are they doing? now they are tying bamboo to cross on both sides of the river so that the roots of this tree will be woven along these bamboo. bamboo act as a scaffolding which helps to connect roots from trees growing on opposite riverbanks. this is skilled and occasionally dangerous work. thanks to continuous repairs, bridges like this have stood firm for generations. and will probably remain for many more to come. so we leave meghalaya and head to assam, passing through some of the 25,000 tea plantations that have made this region world—famous. we are on our way tojorhat,

a few hundred kilometres from india's border with china, and thejumping—off point for our next adventure. i am on the banks of the mighty river brahmaputra and am about to go to a very spiritual place, the island of majuli, one of the biggest river islands in the world. there are 150,000 people on the island and only six ferries each day, so each one is really crammed. looking at the list of prices for all the different categories, passengers, 15 rupees. that's ok, reasonable. you go down past vehicles and animals have to pay. a buffalo has to pay 45. a bull, cow, 30. an elephant has to fork out 907 rupees.

perhaps, fortunately, none of these creatures were travelling with us today. and, incredibly, after a few last minute panics, we are set to go. i climb onto the corrugated aluminium roof tojoin men who do this trip day in and day out. starting in tibet, the brahmaputra river is nearly 2,000 miles long. it is second only to the amazon in the volume of water that rushes through it. there is an interesting game of cards going on here. i think we are playing whist. i feel like we should join in, but it may be a private game

with high stakes. we arrive at majuli and it is turmoil again trying to get off the boat. to avoid a queue, there is a sneaky way out which involves climbing onto another boat and going down the steps that way. do you know what? i think i will take that one. here we are on land. it doesn't look quite as spiritual as i imagined, but if you look away into the distance it isjust one big, flat land of desert. majuli island is home to 22 monasteries, or satras, initially established

in the 16th century by the assamese guru sankardeva. boys are instructed from a very young age in the religion he preached, vaishnavism, an offshoot of hinduism. the monks are celibate, and according to their beliefs they worship only one god, follow a vegetarian diet and reject the caste system. and here at uttar kamalabari, the doctrine includes this special artform.

this form of classical dance is now recognised by the authorities as a genre in its own right, and many of these monks have performed around the world. plays drums and percussion that was amazing — thank you very much indeed. i know you spend a lifetime learning the skills of this, but can i have a go? can i try? like this? arm is through here. yeah? yeah. 0k. first place, here. hits drum here? wrong one. very good!

thank you. one, two, three, four. it's very difficult. one, two... there are 64 positions in this classical dance, and i'm having trouble with the first two. plays drum without the grace as well — no grace whatsoever. he makes it look so easy, but it is incredibly difficult. and i don't think — i am going to leave it to the experts. you know, sometimes you just have to give up and let them carry on. playing drums and percussion an exquisite performance. but there is one problem, one very big problem, and that is that this island may simply not exist in just a few decades' time. hard to believe at the moment, but there is a genuine worry that

majuli will be submerged and destroyed within 20 years. in the last 70 years it has shrunk in size by two—thirds, and a majority of the original 65 monasteries have gone. every monsoon, the brahmaputra river swells, eroding the terrain around it. bit by bit, the land is disappearing. but there is hope. so now, i'm on my way in a tractor to go and see a man whose life's mission has been to try and tackle the flooding that's afflicting majuli. he is basically assam's very own eco—warrior. sadly these are areas that

get completely deluged when the monsoon hits. there's some water there that we have to cross. for the last 36 years, jadev payeng has taken on an extraordinary challenge — to save this land from vanishing.

and so his lifelong calling began. jadev is known today as the forest man of india. he began planting trees so the roots would bind the soil, soak up excess water and prevent the land from being eroded by flooding. from a barren landscape he has created a forest the size of new york's central park. and he feels this will be more effective in saving nearby majuli than following government flood protection schemes. so we are now going to do the ritual

that every guest that comes here is asked to do, which is to plant a tree. what kind of tree is this? so i'm going to put this in here, yeah, that's good. jadev has spoken at environmental summits all around the world, and his roll—call of guests is equally international. and i do know that everyone who plants a tree, when it grows, they put a plaque down with their name on it, so i will have that privilege.

and so to my final day in assam, and a different kind of ritualistic celebration of nature. if there is one recurring theme throughout my trip in the north—east, it's the sense of community, kind of everywhere really, and there is nothing better to illustrate that than this. a local village going down to the river to celebrate harvest. this community was started in 1939 by a young woman who came from the mountains in search of food. she founded this place because it was better for her, because it was closer to the water and civilisation, so finally she brings herfamily here, followed by her brother and this particular village is the entire family, her own clan... they all come from that one woman?

really. fascinating, wow. this is a much—loved annual celebration, and people of all ages gather to muck in, using fishing methods that have been passed down through generations. dig it in, yeah. stamping, stamping. then you put it towards you... you have to pull the stick, yeah. and look! so my track across india, from border to border,

is almost over, and it has been a real journey of discovery for me off the beaten track. this isn't india on tap, the kind of instant gratification which some people are accustomed to. but the rewards, if you make the effort, are immense. asnake! can they bite? yeah, it does. it bites — is it poisonous? no, not much. not much?

good morning. welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and chris mason. our headlines today. the victims remembered. prayers will be said this morning for the five people killed in plymouth. but questions intensify over why police returned the gun licence to the man who shot them. closing in on the capital — the taliban now control all the key cities of afghanistan except kabul. mohamed salah makes history as liverpool ease to victory at norwich. he's the first player in the premier league to score on the opening day for a fifth consecutive season.

a consecutive season. mixture of weather once agair warm a mixture of weather once again, warm in the sunshine but there will be patchy rain around today. next week settles down but it is not particularly warm. i will have all the details later on. good morning. it's sunday 15th august. our top story. prayers will be said in churches in plymouth today for the five victims of britain's worst mass shooting for more than a decade. it comes as a former commissioner of the metropolitan police says officers should trawl through the social media accounts of people applying for a shotgun licence, after questions were raised about why the gunman's permit was granted. simonjones reports. after the shock, the disbelief, the anger. today will be a time of contemplation to remember five lives cut short. the gunman's mother, maxine davison, shot at her house.

lee martyn and his three—year—old daughter sophie, killed in the street. kate shepherd from cornwall, who died in hospital. and stephen washington, killed while walking his dogs. we are numb and heartbroken. we love our community and they are going to be missed. churches have opened their doors since the attack, allowing quiet reflection. the events of thursday evening will be the focus of services this morning for a community struggling to comprehend what has happened. a sentiment shared by maxine davison's nephew, who never met the cousin who killed her. it is impossible. you cannot plan for this. you cannot see the next day of the day after of the day after. you just take each day as it comes. as a family they will come together and be there for each other. they will try to understand this horrendous thing that has happened and also the four innocent people who had no part in this. a key question — why did the gunman, jake davison, have his shotgun

and a license returned to him last month even though he had been accused of assault and posted hate filled rants online? if he was clearly that unstable then his gun license should never have been returned. if it had not have been returned in this atrocity would not have happened. so many people would not have lost loved ones. that is now being examined by the police watchdog. a former commissioner of the metropolitan police has told the sunday telegraph that officers should look through social media accounts of people who are seeking fire alarms licenses to ensure that guns do not fall into the hands of dangerous people. as investigations continue, so do the questions that the community urgently wants answers for. our reporter, luxmy gopal, is in keyham for us this morning. luxmy, what more can you tell us about the services taking place today?

good morning. as you can see behind me the police are continuing their work this morning and, of course, this morning across devon church services including at saint thomas's here are expected to use the services to reflect and remember the victims. maxime davison, the mother of the killer and sophie martin who wasjust of the killer and sophie martin who was just three years old and described as a cracking little girl by those who knew her. her father, lee martin, described as an absolutely amazing father. stephen washington and kate shepherd, described by her friends as being very talented and an artist whose death left them feeling deeply sad and in shock. the home secretary yesterday made a short and private visit here to lay flowers in tribute to those victims. she did not answer questions about gun laws because, of course, there are questions about how the killer was able to have a firearms license. devon will that

make devon and cornwall police returned his shotgun and licensed when last non— month after they were removed last december following an allegation of assault a few months earlier. the former metropolitan police commissioner has said that anyone wanting to own a gun should have their social media accounts examined because davison had made ranting videos on youtube and had posted comments on social media, in particular to do with the incel group, associated with misogyny and acts of violence elsewhere. but todayis acts of violence elsewhere. but today is about remembering the five lives lost and celebrating their lives lost and celebrating their lives and reflecting and morning here in the community.- lives and reflecting and morning here in the community. thank you very much- _ in the last few hours, taliban militants in afghanistan have taken control of jalalabad, leaving just the capital kabul as the only major city still in government hands. the fall ofjalalabad —

90 miles east of the capital — came without a fight, according to media reports. the taliban have swept through the country in just ten days, following the withdrawal of american forces. our afghanistan correspondent secunder kermani reports from kabul. this is the very centre of kabul. thousands who have fled fighting across the north now live in these miserable conditions. this family escaped the violence, but say they still don't feel safe. translation: we're thirsty. we're hungry. we have no home. other makeshift camps are even bigger. but this, in the heart of the city, shows how quickly the country is unravelling. we don't want to go back to the era where our sisters and our education sector and the development sector was so shattered, we don't want to go back to that.

fighting erupted around mazar—i—sharif. it was one of the last major cities still under government control and had been a bastion of anti—taliban resistance. security forces were fleeing to the border with uzbekistan as the insurgents took it over. once in kandahar, their spiritual home, the taliban cemented their position with a flag—hoisting ceremony. finally addressing the nation, president ghani didn't comment on rumours he may resign. instead, simply promising to re—mobilise beleaguered forces. for now, for many people here in kabul, life is continuing more or less as normal but the taliban are getting closer and closer to the city and there is increasing concern that a fierce and protracted battle for control of kabul could be imminent. cobblers under massive thread

because of the spill of provinces. millions of more afghans including women and children were caught in these attacks or in the situation. they cannot leave because the highways are not safe. they are infested with roadside bombs. transport is not reliable and active fighting. the speed of the taliban's advance has led to the us and uk together deploying more than 5,500 troops to afghanistan to repatriate their citizens and many of their embassy staff. many afghan cities are now being handed over to the taliban, following local deals with the security forces. that may be the only way to avoid even more suffering in kabul, too, but would mean an end to life here as residents know it. secunder kermani, bbc news, kabul. a strong aftershock has struck haiti

hours after a major earthquake killed more than 300 people. nearly 2,000 others were injured when the 7.2 magnitude tremor hit the west of the country yesterday morning. the prime minister said there was "extensive damage" and declared a month—long state of emergency. for people in hospital with suspected gunshot wounds after an incident in london. clarence gardens has been sealed off after reports of shots fired after 10pm last night. it is not being treated as terrorist related. all 16 and 17—year—olds in england are to be offered their first dose of a coronavirus vaccine by a week tomorrow. the health secretary, sajid javid, says the timing will allow teenagers to build up immunity before they return to school in september. thousands will be invited by text and letter, to book their appointment at one of more than 800 gp—led vaccination sites.

nine minutes past seven, thank you for being with us. we will return now to our stop story concerning afghanistan. let's take you back through a bit of a timeline as to how we got to this point in the recent history. just to remind everyone, the taliban were removed from power in 2001 during a u.s.—led invasion that britain took passed in —— parting. over the last 20 years, more than 100,000 british have been stationed in afghanistan and dave was one of them and he joins us now. good morning. good morning. as we have reflected this morning, there is a huge amount going on in afghanistan and it is moving quickly. how do you reflect on what you see in the pictures that you see and reflect on your time there? you were affected quite badly, won't you, as we can see. i were affected quite badly, won't you, as we can see.— were affected quite badly, won't you, as we can see. i was in'ured into a 2010 i

good morning to you. darren has the weather. good morning. let's start with a weather watcher picture first of all, out and about early this morning. once again, we've got a real mixture of weather today, warm sunshine, but again, a bit of rain in the air here and there. a lot of the wet weather. the low pressure moving on from the south—west. this band of cloud and the weather front is coming into northern scott, that would be significant as we head into tomorrow. today, maybe a few spots of rain running away from the midlands, into east anglia in the south—east, warm sunshine in the afternoon, showers coming back into wales and the south—west, this line of rain moves down allowing brighter skies in southern scotland and northern ireland but more showers, some quite heavy in the cloud. northern scotland, quite cold for

the time of year, could make 23 towards the south—east in the sunshine. some of this rain we got across england and wales lingers into the evening before fading away into the evening before fading away in the band of showers moves down across scotland. for many, a mild night where we have clear skies in the north—east of scotland, temperatures could be down to seven or eight degrees. i mention the weather front or eight degrees. i mention the weatherfront to the or eight degrees. i mention the weather front to the north, this is where it is into monday. not much rain but crucially, north—westerly breeze for tomorrow and that is dragging showers here and there an disappointing temperatures, only 17 in the central belt of scotland,

could make 20 in the south—east. heading into next week, i pressure to the south—west. this is where the air is coming from. it's coming all the way from the mid—atlantic, bringing with it a lot of cloud. could be some patchy rain to begin with on tuesday, wanted showers lingering. sunshine in short supply. that is really the theme through to next week, a lot of dry weather around. carly skies, not particularly warm for this time of year, certainly no heatwave on the way for the end of summerjust year, certainly no heatwave on the way for the end of summer just yet. thanks, darren. churches across plymouth will use today's sunday services to remember the five people killed in thursday's mass shooting. special prayers will be said, including a tribute written by the bishop of exeter. we're joined now by father david

towards the police because of what's come out about the shot in the licence. these people are the same people running to the situation as it is unfolding. it had very easily been a terrorism attack. these are people the anger is channelled towards people in the social media because this kind of poor mental health among so many people. you are riuht. an health among so many people. you are right. an investigation _ health among so many people. you are right. an investigation is _ health among so many people. you are right. an investigation is to _ health among so many people. you are right. an investigation is to take i right. an investigation is to take place before we fully understand what happened here. what is the role of you and perhaps your church at a time like this. really not everyone there is going to have but do you feel you have a part to play? i

certainly do. there is a particular place which someone in the christian faith holds. most importantly we will be praying for those who are killed. the people who died innocently in my heart and prayers. it also everybody involved in this situation, i have to make sure we keep it. situation, i have to make sure we kee it. ., ., _, , keep it. you mentioned community. that is going — keep it. you mentioned community. that is going to _ keep it. you mentioned community. that is going to be _ keep it. you mentioned community. that is going to be absolutely i keep it. you mentioned community. that is going to be absolutely key, i that is going to be absolutely key, isn't it, in terms of helping people move through this trauma because it's only really the people of

hello, this is breakfast with rachel burden and chris mason.

all young people aged 16 to 17 in england are to be offered a first dose of a covid—19 vaccine by next monday. the timing will allow teenagers two weeks to build up maximum immunity before they return to school in september. we're joined now by one of our regular gps, dr ellie cannon. good morning to you. good morning. what do you make of this latest stage of the rollout of vaccines to 16 and 17 —year—olds in england? it is great. i think it is a great idea and we are following other countries around world that are doing this already. across america and in israel they are vaccinating teenagers. we have taken it a bit more cautiously here and i know those who research and advise on vaccinations have taken a very cautious and pragmatic approach but that should reassure everybody and now we are ready for our 16 and 17 —year—olds to be vaccinated. you

talk about caution and pragmatism from those making the decision. could they have decided quicker, given, as you say, many other countries have moved more quickly on this? yes, they could have decided quickly. certainly it would have been a great idea if we had had these teenagers vaccinated a month ago, before they go back to school they would have had their second vaccination. but in a mass vaccination. but in a mass vaccination programme, particularly in the uk, while we are very cautious and we like to question vaccinations and medication and that is absolutely fine, i think they were right, actually, to take their time, to look at the data so that the public can really have the utmost confidence in these recommendations.- utmost confidence in these recommendations. �*, ., ,, ., recommendations. let's talk about the whole business _ recommendations. let's talk about the whole business of _ recommendations. let's talk about the whole business of self - the whole business of self isolation. many of our conversations over the last month or six weeks

have been focused on the pings, the change in the rules in england kicking in tomorrow so fully vaccinated adults and children under the age of 18 do not need to self isolate if they come into contact with someone who is a positive case. we have seen that happen already in scotland and wales. it is one of these things, it is all about a balance of risk versus liberty, what we can do in our day—to—day lives. is this a sensible step given where we are in the pandemic now? it is a sensible step _ we are in the pandemic now? it is a sensible step and _ we are in the pandemic now? it is a sensible step and you _ we are in the pandemic now? it is a sensible step and you are _ we are in the pandemic now? it is a sensible step and you are right i sensible step and you are right about balance and also we are balancing what the rules are versus what people are actually doing in reality and this is something i have seen over the last year in my clinic. there are certain rules about isolation or testing and that is not necessarily translating into what people are doing in practice. so therefore it makes sense to slightly reduce the rules, if you

like, or to slightly reduce the rules, if you like, orto make slightly reduce the rules, if you like, or to make them less strict in this way which, scientifically is sensible and also it keeps the public with us, it makes sure we're all still following guidelines and making we are all still working together because, to be honest with you, from what i see on the ground, many people had stopped isolating anyway. i many people had stopped isolating an a . . , many people had stopped isolating an a . ., ., many people had stopped isolating an a. ., anyway. i was going to ask you if there was _ anyway. i was going to ask you if there was a _ anyway. i was going to ask you if there was a disjunction - anyway. i was going to ask you if there was a disjunction between | anyway. i was going to ask you if. there was a disjunction between the behaviour of people and the rules and i suppose the thought would be, if that is the case, if people are already not self isolating, do not need the rules to be on the stronger side, if you like, of people's day—to—day behaviour, otherwise the people not throw away rules entirely and, potentially, a further spiking cases? i think it is difficult, for this behavioural psychology with mass guidelines for the whole public. mass guidelines for the whole ublic. , ., , public. there they range between what people _ public. there they range between what people do. _ public. there they range between what people do, there _ public. there they range between what people do, there is - public. there they range between what people do, there is a i public. there they range between what people do, there is a range| what people do, there is a range with how scared people are and how

law—abiding people are but, actually, at this stage of the pandemic, thankfully, with the very successful vaccination programme that we have rolled out we can actually afford to make this the rules scientifically and we have seen that link has been broken between cases and hospitalisations thanks to vaccination. so this is the right time, i think.— thanks to vaccination. so this is the right time, i think. let's talk about broader _ the right time, i think. let's talk about broader matters _ the right time, i think. let's talk about broader matters of- the right time, i think. let's talk| about broader matters of health. the right time, i think. let's talk- about broader matters of health. we saw a big push in the last few days from the government and from others to say, look, if you have a health concern, unrelated to covid—19, please edit checked out, do not be put off only thought that the nhs is battling away with all things covid and may not have space or time for other concerns. are you seeing the evidence of that backlog now of people presenting with other symptoms and what about the business of being able to see a gp

face—to—face? of being able to see a gp face-to-face?_ of being able to see a gp face-to-face? , , .,. , . face-to-face? this is exactly it. we do have a huge _ face-to-face? this is exactly it. we do have a huge backlog. _ face-to-face? this is exactly it. we do have a huge backlog. a - face-to-face? this is exactly it. we do have a huge backlog. a backlog| face-to-face? this is exactly it. we i do have a huge backlog. a backlog in general prep is. we also have a backlog from hospitals because while people are waiting to see a specialist they return to us and obviously there has been a change in the way we practice with telephone triage rather than automatically seeing a gp face—to—face and, sadly, what this has all done is put people off going to their gp with cancer symptoms, with important symptoms. right from the outset the chief medical officer spoke about non— covid harms, harms from diseases that have nothing to do with covid. that are affected by the burden that covid had on the healthcare system. so what i would say is a gp is that we are here and open, we see everybody we need to see. so if you have anything new or unusual for you, please get in touch with a gp.

is it time, however, for gp surgeries to return to how things were before the pandemic we see the vast majority of people face—to—face? why can that not happen? face-to-face? why can that not ha en? ~ . , , face-to-face? why can that not hauen?. . i, happen? we currently see the vast ma'ori of happen? we currently see the vast majority of patients _ happen? we currently see the vast majority of patients face-to-face i majority of patients face—to—face but what we do now is we speak to patients first on the phone and we are finding that half of patients actually do not want to come in for various reasons, may be covid or convenience or whatever it may be and the people who we need to see we do see and the beauty of doing that, that type of triage system is that actually we can see and speak to many more people and, certainly from my own gp surgery, it used to be around four weeks to see a gp of your choice whereas now we find our way list to see a preferred gp is around 5— seven days. actually it allows us to deal with many more patients far more efficiently. rgreat patients far more efficiently. great to talk to you- _

chelsea and liverpool all with opening—day victories. it has been a year and a half since we last heard the noise. after so long in the silence, premier league is back and just to here means so much. fernandez inspired by it all. old trafford comic manchester united against leeds where the volume increases further. he said it is his first united hat—trick for the intensity of this match. a thumping win will last in the memory and through the league get the others attention. when we drive into the stadium today we got the butterflies again. suddenly there is a game that matters in front of your fans. it has been so long without them and when players perform like this and produce i think everyone can go home happy. liverpool's biggest addition is the return of virgil van dyck from injury. with him on the team they dominated this league. here they dominated this league. here they were too good for norwich. most

seller's goal was his 50 in a row on an opening day. no premier league player has done that before. so norwich were the only promoted side to lose this weekend. at vicarage road, watford stunned aston villa. how about that! abs, road, watford stunned aston villa. how about that!— road, watford stunned aston villa. how about that! a convincing win was one that few — how about that! a convincing win was one that few here _ how about that! a convincing win was one that few here expected. - one that few here expected. something the coach will hold onto down the line. last time in this league they sacked three coaches in a single season. everton have a new man at the helm as well. the welcome was frosty. he managed the archrivals liverpool but he knows goals change things. he sorts his feet out and scores! unconfined joy. everton were beat southampton 3—1 and the blues would score the same amount of stamford bridge. chelsea eased past crystal palace but trevor

broke down when he scored the third. he has been at the club since he was eight and his was his debut for the league. it meant that much more to have the fans interceded. for him and thousands the country it is good to be back. it is good to be back. england will resume day four of the second test against india at lourdes in the lead after another masterclass from joe root. the start with a second innings trailing boat 27 runs. when england's bedding is in trouble there is usually one way out of it. relying onjoe root. the's centre in the first test safety team. another half—century here. with route regularly resolute the other end has been the path of least resistance of opposition bowlers. not today. jonny bairstow battling to a half—century in support of his skipper. england through to lunch without losing a

he ran the opening leg of the 4 by one hundred metres relay.... in which great britain won the silver medal. he's been provisionally suspended, but in a statement said: "to be absolutely clear, i am not a cheat". charley hull says her game has never been in better shape — as she attempts to convert a share of the lead into the women's scottish open title. the english woman carded four birdies in her third successive round of 69 at dumbarnie links in fife. she goes into the final day alongside american ryann o'toole and thailand's ariya jutanugarn on nine under par. england's justin rose is five shots off the lead going into the final day of the wyndham championship. a one—under par 69 yesterday keeps rose in contention but with plenty to do in the final round over in north carolina. back to cricket finally and england's ravi bopara was on the losing side as london spirit lost by two wickets to the oval invincibles. to make matters worse he also lost his trousers sliding to unsuccessfully deny a boundary to the delight of the oval crowd

i'm filling in for mark kermode to review this week's releases. there are a lot of films in cinemas this week and i'm going to start with my personal favourite. i'm your man, a genderflip on the pygmalion myth starring downton abbey's dan stevens as a romantic robot. set in berlin, i'm your man is a german comedy drama with a sci—fi twist. it stars the excellent maren eggert as alma, a scientist who is taking part in a trial of humanoid robots to see if they could make realistic life partners. alma's ideal match has been created using algorithms based on her brain scans, her responses and research involving 17 million people. as it happens, alma has a soft spot forforeign men.

enter dan stevens as tom, a charmer who speaks fluent german with an english accent. alma's ideal match has been created using algorithms based on her brain scans, her responses and research involving 17 million people. as it happens, alma has a soft spot forforeign men. enter dan stevens as tom, a charmer who speaks fluent german with an english accent. he speaks german. alma is initially sceptical, but when she starts to warm to tom, she plunges into a period of self analysis and self—doubt. i'm your man has a very sharp sense of humour, and a pitch perfect dan stevens makes the most of comical misunderstandings between humans and ai. but this also takes a serious look at identity, humanity, attraction and happiness. the set up recalls everything from blade runner to the 2013 sci—fi her. but this is inspired by a short story by emma braslavsky, and directed by maria schrader and the female perspective makes it a distinctly different work.

i'm your man is a playful intelligent conversation starter that is as fun to watch alone as as it is with a real life partner. he speaks german. it is in cinemas and on curzon home cinema now. my name is guy. sunday should be warm and sunny. just a scattering of drive bys. and i live in paradise. i've got a best friend. this is the greatest cup of coffee of all time. mondays, am i right, joe? now to another charming funny a! character, this time played by ryan reynolds in the disney action comedy free guy. guy is a cheerful bank teller who loves his routine life, from his morning coffee to small talk with his co—worker buddy who is played by lil rel howery.

he even shrugs off the daily raids from bank robbers. what he doesn't realise is he is a background player in an open world video game called free city. those violent robbers wearing sun glasses, they are avatars of geeky real world players. when he sees molotov girl, played by killing eve'sjodie comer, he falls for her, not realising she is the real world coder who is trying to prove that her idea is stolen and so a computer game comedy turns into a romantic action thriller with existential angst to spare. free guy owes a debt to more classic sci—fis than i have time to list, but there are clear parallels with galaxy quest, tron, groundhog day and the matrix. but its biggest influence is perhaps the truman show. likejim carey before him,

our innocent hero grapples with the knowledge he has been living a lie and is merely a pawn in a world created for the entertainment of others. this is a much busierfilm than the truman show. this central idea gives the film heart and it's helped considerably by reynolds ability to balance deadpan comedy with sensitive boyish charm, and a dash of deadpool�*s mischief. jodie comer proves her versatility as both her english avatar and the american who created her, although i was a bit disappointed that this genius coder is characterised chiefly by her love of bubble gum ice—cream and mariah carey. still, she shares good chemistry with reynolds, as well asjoe keery, who plays her former creative partner. meanwhile, taika waititi and channing tatum enjoy smaller roles that are amusing, if not hilarious. free guy isn't as powerful as the films it recalls, but it is an enjoyable actioner that brings a pacifist message to the genre, and for a disney film it even takes a swipe at our sequel obsessed culture.

bring on free guy two. meantime, free guy is in cinemas now. forgive me, i'm just a bit... sorry, james, i know you said you had an office in board of trade, but... is it possible you actually work at a different branch of her majesty's government? oh my. this is unexpected. a salesman is recruited as a spy in the courier, a true story starring benedict cumberbatch. greville wynne is an ordinary british businessman who is surprised to be approached by m16 and the cia during the cold war. after some debate he agrees to peddle his wares in the soviet union, while forming a partnership with a soviet officer, oleg penkovsky.

it is a tall order keeping his work a secret from his wife, played byjessie buckley, but then there is the more pressing concern of the soviets finding him out. dominic cook's period thriller is a quiet but classy watch. and while it's a little exposition heavy, it tells a fascinating story with strong performances all round. i am volunteering to bring back the best source of soviet intelligence you've got at a time where russia and america are on the brink of nuclear war. you talk about using people. for god's sake, use me. the courier is in cinemas now. get out of here. johnny depp also plays a reluctant real life hero this week, in the drama minamata. in depp's first release

since his lost his libel case against the publishers of the sun newspaper, he plays life magazine photo journalist w eugene smith. smith was instrumental in documenting the devastating effects of mercury poisoning in the japanese coastal city of minamata. this follows his recruitment by aileen, who is played by the japanese actress minami, and his shocking discoveries in minamata, where afflicted families are battling for compensation. andrew levitas�* film feels torn between detailing the fight forjustice, and exploring its alcoholic central character, and the balance doesn't feel particularly even. but once again it is a powerful and important story, and it's depp's best for some time. no—one has really covered it. i mean, it's in the god damn fish. and that's all those

poor people have to eat. the times has a tokyo desk. and we have deadlines literally one hour. - so that sounds to me like, bob, time is of the essence. and you know that the cover up is going to be as much of a story as the story itself. minimata is in cinemas now. i love a tense real time thriller, and the mexican film new order did not disappoint. the winner of the grand jury prize at last year's venice film festival, new order is not an escapist thriller. it's a disturbing dystopian nail biter about escalating class i love a tense real time thriller, and the mexican film new order did not disappoint. the winner of the grand jury prize at last year's venice film festival, new order is not an escapist thriller. it's a disturbing dystopian nail biter about escalating class warfare in mexico city.

as a lavish wedding is taking place, riots are erupting in the streets and the peril spills into the festivities. meanwhile, the bride sets off on a dangerous mission to help a former member of staff. a gripping and disturbing thriller, new order is another powerful film from after lucia director michael franco, and it will stay with you long after the credits roll. it is in cinemas now. finally, a musical crowd pleaser called coda, which stands for child of deaf adults. an american remake of the french film la famille belier, it stars emilia jones as ruby, a 17—year—old who is the only hearing member of her family. outside of school, her spare time is spent acting as an interpreter for her parents and brother and working on theirfishing boat.

but ruby has a secret. she loves to sing. spurred on by her teacher, she considers a career in music but she fears her parents won't support her ambitions. funny and unconventional, ruby's parents bring wit and warmth to the story, and crucially they are funny and unconventional, ruby's parents bring wit and warmth to the story, and crucially they are played by deaf actors, troy kotsur and marlee matlin, who won an oscar for children of a lesser god in 1986. as for the hearing cast, emilia jones, who is the daughter of singer aled jones, is terrific, though eugenio derbez feels miscast as her flamboyant music teacher. still, i was prepared to forgive and forget when it came to the emotionalfinale. coda is an uplifting, inclusive tear—jerker with a flavour of the tv series glee,and it is a real step forward when it

comes to the representation of deaf characters on screen. it is cinemas, and on apple tv plus now. thanks for watching the film review with me anna smith. i will be back next week. meantime, stay safe.

good morning welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and chris mason. our headlines today: the victims remembered — prayers will be said this morning for the five people killed in plymouth. but questions intensify over why police returned the gun licence to the man who shot them. closing in on the capital — the taliban now control all the key

cities of afghanistan except kabul. mohamed salah makes history as liverpool ease to victory at norwich. he's the first player in the premier league to score on the opening day for a fifth consecutive season. they said it wasn't going to be a normal olympics, and they were right, it was more. a homecoming to remember for an unforgettable group of athletes — it's curtain up on a concert celebrating the success of team gb. good morning. we have a mixture of weather once again today. warm in the sunshine, particularly for the south—eastern parts of the uk. there will be some patchy rain around today. next week settles down but it is not particularly warm. i will have the details later on. it's sunday 15th august. our top story. prayers will be said in churches

in plymouth today for the five victims of britain's worst mass shooting for more than a decade. it comes as a former commissioner of the metropolitan police says officers should trawl through the social media accounts of people applying for a shotgun licence, after questions were raised about why the gunman's permit was granted. simonjones reports. after the shock, the disbelief, the anger. today will be a time of contemplation to remember five lives cut short. the gunman's mother, maxine davison, shot at her house. lee martyn and his three—year—old daughter sophie, killed in the street. kate shepherd from cornwall, who died in hospital. and stephen washington, killed while walking his dogs. we are numb and heartbroken. we love our community and they are going to be very missed. churches have opened their doors

since the attack, allowing quiet reflection. the events of thursday evening will be the focus of services this morning for a community struggling to comprehend what has happened. devastation is one of many emotions which is going through us in the past couple of days. today is a funny day because it is sunday, so it is sunday as usual but of course instead of looking far for the news the news this year. —— it is here. a key question — why did the gunman, jake davison, have his shotgun and a license returned to him last month even though he had been accused of assault and posted hate filled rants online? if he was clearly that unstable then his gun license

should never have been returned. if it had not have been returned in this atrocity would not have happened. so many people would not have lost loved ones. that is now being examined by the police watchdog. a former commissioner of the metropolitan police has told the sunday telegraph that officers should look through social media accounts of people who are seeking fire alarms licenses to ensure that guns do not fall into the hands of dangerous people. as investigations continue, so do the questions and the community urgently wa nts a nswers. our reporter luxmy gopal is in keyham for us this morning. luxmy, what more can you tell us about the services taking place today? there are church services across devon this morning including here in plymouth at st thomas church where the services this morning are expected to focus on remembering the victims, the five people shot dead on thursday evening. there have been ways of commemorating and honouring the victims all through this weekend with tributes and vigil held the day

before and flags across plymouth at official buildings being flown at half mast and the consolations of performances and concerts and theatre shows this weekend and the plymouth argyle match yesterday had a minutes silence observed. the focus of the community is on honouring the victims but there are still questions about the firearms licence owned by the killer and even though the focus is on the victims there is a sense of anger among the community around the firearms licence question and that is what we heard from the priest who spoke to us on bbc breakfast delivered this morning that there is a sense of angerfrom the community morning that there is a sense of anger from the community about this. this is going to be investigated by the police watchdog who will be looking at the issue of the firearms licence which was returned to the killer last month by devon, police after it had been removed from him

in december last year following the allegation of an assault. yesterday the home secretary was here on a private visit to lay flowers for the victims. she would not answer any questions about gun laws and the issue of gun control but there is also the issue around social media as well because the killer has been associated with some comments and videos online like ranting and using violent language in relation to women, particularly single mothers and his own mother. the former metropolitan police commissioner lord stevens has said anybody wanting to own a gun should have the social media accounts examined. those are questions we will be continuing to look at and will await the results of the police investigation —— police complaints investigation —— police complaints investigation and the community continues to remember them with the

church services this morning and tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock a minutes silence will be held to remember the five people shot dead. taliban militants in afghanistan have taken control ofjalalabad — leaving just the capital — kabul — as the only major city still in government hands. the fall ofjalalabad — 90 miles east of the capital — came without a fight, according to media reports. the taliban have swept through the country in just ten days, following the withdrawal of american forces. our afghanistan correspondent secunder kermani reports from kabul. this is the very centre of kabul. thousands who have fled fighting across the north now live in these miserable conditions. this family escaped the violence, but say they still don't feel safe. translation: we're thirsty. we're hungry.

we have no home. other makeshift camps are even bigger. but this, in the heart of the city, shows how quickly the country is unravelling. we don't want to go back to the era where our sisters and our education sector and the development sector was so shattered, we don't want to go back to that. fighting erupted around mazar—i—sharif. it was one of the last major cities still under government control and had been a bastion of anti—taliban resistance. security forces were fleeing to the border with uzbekistan as the insurgents took it over. once in kandahar, their spiritual home, the taliban cemented their position with a flag—hoisting ceremony. finally addressing the nation, president ghani didn't comment on rumours he may resign.

instead, simply promising to re—mobilise beleaguered forces. for now, for many people here in kabul, life is continuing more or less as normal but the taliban are getting closer and closer to the city and there is increasing concern that a fierce and protracted battle for control of kabul could be imminent. kabul is under massive threat because of the spill—over effect of provinces. millions of more afghans including women and children were caught in these attacks or in the situation. they cannot leave because the highways are not safe. they are infested with roadside bombs. transport is not reliable and there is still active fighting. the speed of the taliban's advance has led to the us and uk together deploying more than 5,500 troops to afghanistan to repatriate their citizens and many of their embassy staff.

many afghan cities are now being handed over to the taliban, following local deals with the security forces. that may be the only way to avoid even more suffering in kabul, too, but would mean an end to life here as residents know it. secunder kermani, bbc news, kabul. we will be speaking to the former cabinet minister rory stewart in around 20 minutes. a strong aftershock has struck haiti hours after a major earthquake killed more than 300 people. nearly 2,000 others were injured when the 7.2 magnitude tremor hit the west of the country yesterday morning. the prime minister said there was "extensive damage" and declared a month—long state of emergency. azadeh moshiri reports. hundreds killed and more than 1000 missing in haiti. the earthquake on saturday

is another devastating blow the prime minister has declared a state of emergency after the 7.2 quake hit south—western parts of the country. translation: we have declared a state of - emergency in the west, the south and other provinces. we have a medical emergency. the health ministry has begun the distribution of medicines in hospital. in addition to the high death toll, the earthquake has toppled homes, collapsed a school and damaged churches. haiti is still reeling from previous disasters including the 2010 earthquake that claimed more than 200,000 lives

and the assassination of haiti's president a month ago. as you know, haiti is already under the worst political crisis in recent history and, you know, we are still recovering from the 2010 earthquake, from the natural disasters, from the imported cholera epidemic and now this. scientists in america are predicting the death toll could spike to the thousands. the us presidentjoe biden has promised immediate aid to support recovery efforts. for a country left so fragile after a series of misfortunes, and under threat from a tropical storm next week, that help is crucial. four people are in hospital with suspected gunshot wounds

metropolitan police have sealed off part of clarence gardens near camden, after reports of shots being fired just after 10pm last night. it is not being treated as terror—related. all 16 and 17—year—olds in england are to be offered their first dose of a coronavirus vaccine by a week tomorrow. the health secretary, sajid javid, says the timing will allow teenagers to build up immunity before they return to school in september. thousands will be invited by text and letter, to book their appointment at one of more than 800 gp—led vaccination sites. the trading of all shark fins is to be banned in the uk, to clamp down on what the government calls the indescribably cruel practice of finning. the practice of removing the animals' fins at sea and discarding the rest was outlawed in britain more than 20 years ago but, until now, fins could still be imported and exported under eu rules. ministers hope that the ban will improve conservation, with some species of shark already critically endangered.

as communities in plymouth continue to come to terms with thursday's mass shooting — questions remain over how the gunman was allowed a license. jake davison's shotgun and permit were returned to him injuly by devon and cornwall police, six months after they had been revoked. we're joined now by luke pollard, labour mp for plymouth sutton and devonport. what a difficult time for people in the city. how are people coping? it's such a huge amount for people to even begin to grapple with the process. tt to even begin to grapple with the rocess. . , to even begin to grapple with the rocess. ., , , , ., process. it really is. these have been some _ process. it really is. these have been some of— process. it really is. these have been some of the _ process. it really is. these have been some of the darkest - process. it really is. these have been some of the darkest days| process. it really is. these have l been some of the darkest days in plymouth history since the end of the second world war. i think peoples emotions have changed from a sense of shock and disbelief into now feeling that profound loss of

the five people who were killed but also a sense of anger, wanting to know the questions as to how was this allowed to happen, why did this happen and whether opportunities to stop this happening that were not taken? we need to get the answers to those and that could take some time and the police need the space to do it but we need to ensure the claims against us proper answers because they deserve them and that means they deserve them and that means they need to be thorough, detailed and accurate and not speculative and that will take some time, sadly. absolutely. let's examine some of those questions one by one. in particular the process via which an individual acquires a gun licence and whether or not the rules around that are up—to—date. we hear this morning lord stevens, the former metropolitan police commissioner talking about how important it should be that someone is a social

media presence is examined which it would appear up till now is not a consideration. yes would appear up till now is not a consideration.— consideration. yes i think it is clear there — consideration. yes i think it is clear there needs _ consideration. yes i think it is clear there needs to - consideration. yes i think it is clear there needs to be - consideration. yes i think it is clear there needs to be a - consideration. yes i think it is - clear there needs to be a thorough investigation of the systems we have. the questions local people in plymouth have a twofold amount. firstly, where the processes that is —— weather processes that exist now followed now and two questions need to be answered, the first by the independent office of police conduct and we need those answers shared with the community soon and then we need to get into a sense of what is right. i worry there is a kneejerk reaction and politicians and government wanting to do something quickly and hopefully we will do something correctly and that may take time to get the right answer but i don't want to see any other community go through what we have gone through over the past few days and if that is to be our clear

objective to make sure there is no more pain and loss like we are suffering, stuff that is implemented has to be the right things so we need that national discussion about it. we need politicians to look carefully at the processes we have and need the right lessons to be learned from this hideous tragedy we have had. the learned from this hideous tragedy we have had. ., ,, . ., , ., , have had. the home secretary was with ou have had. the home secretary was with you yesterday _ have had. the home secretary was with you yesterday in _ have had. the home secretary was with you yesterday in plymouth. i have had. the home secretary was| with you yesterday in plymouth. did you have a chance to speak to her about some of these questions that she raised was to t about some of these questions that she raised was to— she raised was to i did. the majority — she raised was to i did. the majority of _ she raised was to i did. the majority of our _ she raised was to i did. the majority of our discussions | majority of our discussions yesterday were about how can we get support for our community. the debate around gun control and licensing needs to happen and the first starting point for that is the investigation by the police watchdog. but my main concern immediately is how do we ensure the support our community needs in terms of bereavement support, mental health support, is given. that's not just for residents, it is in particularfor just for residents, it is in particular for those young children

who witnessed unspeakably awful things on their doorstep. that will stay with them for some time. we are running out of time before schools go back so i want to make sure our brilliant schools in the area and the teams that have the support they need and the expertise and advice to make sure we are able to look after as many of our community as possible and the important thing for the next few days as we expect the police cordons to be lifted and in many cases that will be the first time those families, the people living closest to the scene, will have been able to leave their homes. i think there is an enormous focus on how do we make sure we're getting the right support those families who literally witnessed this on the doorstep to make sure they are supported. and that needs to happen and for me is the local mp i want to make sure the people are key in getting that support and focus and i worry that when the cameras roll out onto the

next audit this community could be forgotten and that is why we need to make sure they are getting the help and support now to ensure what could be a lifetime of trauma is properly supported right now from now on. mit? supported right now from now on. why ou supported right now from now on. why you reassured from what the home secretary had to say to you that support will be forthcoming? t secretary had to say to you that support will be forthcoming? i hope so. ithink support will be forthcoming? i hope so. i thinkthe — support will be forthcoming? i hope so. i think the best _ support will be forthcoming? i hope so. i think the best thing _ support will be forthcoming? i hope so. i think the best thing we - support will be forthcoming? i hope so. i think the best thing we need i so. i think the best thing we need to do as a community no is to say what help we need, what are our support services, we know there is a crisis in mental health notjust in plymouth but across the country. we know there are real pressures and some of our community services and for many people coming forward and asking for help is quite difficult. that might not happen in the next coming days, it might take weeks and months for people to be able to process and understand what has happened. that is both a case for victims, the people injured and theirfamilies and victims, the people injured and their families and friends of those in the wider community and those who witnessed it and we will need to

have community led support here and i think it is really important the support, i certainly asked the home secretary yesterday as did local leaders in plymouth is the right support designed by the community. so we know what we need and that is what i hope we will get. that is a priority. we need to make sure we get that support and i would expect any government minister who gets a request for support to look favourably on it because our community really needs that support. thursday's mass shooting is the worst to take place in the uk since 12 people were killed in cumbria in 2010. in that incident — like in plymouth — the gunman had a firearms licence. let's speak to stuart hyde who was deputy chief constable of cumbria police at the time. i believe you were involved in implementing the gun rules in the

wake of the dunblane massacre. you know all about this. do you think our current laws are fit for purpose? t our current laws are fit for purpose?— our current laws are fit for --urose? ~' ., , ., purpose? i think the laws are the strictest probably _ purpose? i think the laws are the strictest probably in _ purpose? i think the laws are the strictest probably in the - purpose? i think the laws are the strictest probably in the world . purpose? i think the laws are the strictest probably in the world in | strictest probably in the world in terms of gun—control. however we should always be looking to review them. i know the comment from lord stevens about looking at social media. since dunblane we have moved into an online community and it is important we recognise that when we come to firearms licensing and we need to ensure if we are looking at social media accounts of applicants then they have to remove anonymity. we also need to ensure that the social media providers are compliant and with that and probably most important we need to provide funding in order to do that, just looking at 150,000 applicants that we have for

firearm owners of firearm licences, that would properly cost 300 to 400 additional staff across the country if the government is keen on going down that line need to invest in it. that really puts it in perspective. it seemed within hours we had all this of his mindset that would have been an absolute red flag to anyone that was in charge of presumably giving him back his gun licence. so it seems hard to understand why that information wasn't accessible to the police for them to look at and consider as well. t police for them to look at and consider as well.— police for them to look at and consider as well. .., �* . ., ., consider as well. i can't comment on that individual— consider as well. i can't comment on that individual application, _ consider as well. i can't comment on that individual application, i - consider as well. i can't comment on that individual application, i had - that individual application, i had no knowledge of that, but what i would say is if we are going to treat the seriously we need to probably examine two things. one is why we have our firearms licences and shot guns certificate settle with different rules and regulations. you only need one referee for example for a shot gun

but you need to for firearms. i have always maintained, and when i was in charge of the post—dunblane implementation in west yorkshire police i understand why we had two systems were separate rules on separate levels investigation. secondly, if we look holistically at all aspects of an individual when they make an application then social media absolutely must be part of that. ., ., ., ., ., that. you also need to have a legitimate — that. you also need to have a legitimate reason _ that. you also need to have a legitimate reason to - that. you also need to have a legitimate reason to hold - that. you also need to have a legitimate reason to hold a i that. you also need to have a - legitimate reason to hold a firearm and i'm wondering why a a 22—year—old man living in the middle of plymouth be need a pump action shotgun. of plymouth be need a pump action shota un. �* . of plymouth be need a pump action shotaun. �* . . of plymouth be need a pump action shotaun. . ., ., ., ., ., shotgun. again i am not going to comment on _ shotgun. again i am not going to comment on the _ shotgun. again i am not going to comment on the individual- shotgun. again i am not going to comment on the individual case. | shotgun. again i am not going to | comment on the individual case. i think that needs to be examined properly by the police and the complaints commission. however i think it is right that if somebody is applying for firearms licence or shotgun certificate they need to make it very, very clear exactly why

the need that weapon and i think thatis the need that weapon and i think that is an important part of this investigation. d0 that is an important part of this investigation.— that is an important part of this investiuation. ., ., , ., investigation. do we have any idea how many guns — investigation. do we have any idea how many guns are _ investigation. do we have any idea how many guns are out _ investigation. do we have any idea how many guns are out there - investigation. do we have any idea how many guns are out there and l how many guns are out there and privately held? t how many guns are out there and privately held?— privately held? i am doing a little bit of research _ privately held? i am doing a little bit of research right _ privately held? i am doing a little bit of research right now, - privately held? i am doing a little bit of research right now, it's - bit of research right now, it's about 150,000 certificate holders about 150 , 000 certificate holders and about 150,000 certificate holders and i think it is somewhere in the region of 800 thousand to a million weapons, firearms and shotguns. for most people shot gun is a firearm switches probably why we need to question why we treat them differently. most of those are held for a very legitimate reasons, protecting wildlife and livestock within farming communities and sporting events that are well controlled and clearly recent sporting successes demonstrate the value of that. however, if somebody doesn't have a reason for a firearm this shouldn't have one.—

this shouldn't have one. finally, a thouuht this shouldn't have one. finally, a thought on _ this shouldn't have one. finally, a thought on what _ this shouldn't have one. finally, a thought on what this _ this shouldn't have one. finally, a thought on what this must've - this shouldn't have one. finally, a | thought on what this must've been like for those officers called to the scene to deal with this. given your experience in the situation in cumbria with derrick bird, i imagine this is almost impossible to handle andindeedin this is almost impossible to handle and indeed in this incident the man with his gun to his own life before police could intervene. what can you say about that?— say about that? going back to cumbria, just _ say about that? going back to cumbria, just about _ say about that? going back to cumbria, just about half- say about that? going back to cumbria, just about half the l say about that? going back to - cumbria, just about half the police force were engaged in some way with the derrick bird shootings and the vast majority of those, myself included and all the command team and the leaders and investigators undertook some supportive counselling and that is probably what is going to happen in devon and cornwall. it will affect just about every member of staff, every officer, and no doubt will be a

full—blown investigation involving all of their command team and all of their leaders for the next few weeks to say the least.— to say the least. thank you very much indeed. _ we have some cloud around. most of it is coming courtesy of this area of low pressure arriving into the south—west and also this weather front bringing cloud into scotland. it will be quite significant as we

head into tomorrow. a change on away. today we will find patchy rain moving from east anglia and the south—east and sunshine lifting temperatures. more cloud and showers coming to wales and south west in england and rain coming into northern england and things brightening up in scotland and northern ireland but heavy showers in northern scotland. temperatures 23 degrees in the sunshine in the south—east of england and east anglia. a bit of patchy rain in england and wales this evening will tend to peter out overnight and those showers will move down across scotland into north—east england. for many it will be quite cloudy and mild overnight but we have clear skies arriving in the north of scotland and temperatures at 7 degrees or 80 degrees, colder than for a while. this is where the weather front will be on monday. we saw what ellie run across northern scotland and is moving south. not much rain on it but significantly cooler air following much rain on it but significantly cooler airfollowing on a cooler air following on a north—westerly breeze which will push across the whole of the

country. a chilly but sunny start across eastern scotland and sunshine arriving across eastern england but across the west of the uk cloud coming and which will be thick enough to bring showers, possibly light rain or drizzle in the north—west. cooler across the country, temperatures back to 20 degrees perhaps and 17 in the central belt of scotland. this is where our air is coming from, the mid—atlantic around the top of an area of high pressure that never quite makes it to the uk. those north—westerly breezes piling on the moisture which means cloud and patchy rain on tuesday to start with. it will leave behind a few showers here and there are many places will be dry on tuesday. don't expect much sunshine and temperatures struggling up to 18 or 19 degrees. not really that warm for the time of year are not getting much for the time of year so

hopefully dry weather but a lot of cloud. we have been following the story in haiti with the powerful earthquake and there is a tropical storm, storm grace on away towards puerto rico. by the time it arrives on tuesday in haiti it will not be so powerful. there will be gusts of 50 mph and i could beat ten inches of rain following, 250 millimetres of rain following, 250 millimetres of rain following, 250 millimetres of rain which will not help the situation at all. britain's successful olympic team will have the opportunity to celebrate tonight at a special �*welcome home' concert to be broadcast by the bbc. covid regulations meant the tokyo games were like no other — with an absence of fans and support form the stands by family and friends — but that didn't stop them being memorable! let's have a quick look back at some of the highlights.

they said it wasn't going to be a normal olympics and they were right. it was more. inspiring. historic. unforgettable. that's what an olympics is about. heroes for the next generation. for today. character and courage to make these games you'll never forget. we're joined now by the man who narrated that stirring video, the tae kwondo athlete lutalo muhammad who you may remember a claiming a silver medal in rio in rather dramatic circumstances. injury prevented him appearing in tokyo meaning he was a pundit for bbc sport. good morning. it sounds like it is going to be quite a party tonight. yes, good morning and i am very much

looking forward to it. the least the athletes deserve after a magnificent games in tokyo. t5 athletes deserve after a magnificent games in tokyo-_ games in tokyo. is there an almost psychological _ games in tokyo. is there an almost psychological need _ games in tokyo. is there an almost psychological need for _ games in tokyo. is there an almost psychological need for something l psychological need for something like this because it has been such a strange games without the spectators, just to kind of book ended and close it off and realise what they've and achieved? having a knees u -. what they've and achieved? having a knees up- 100% _ what they've and achieved? having a knees up. 100% i _ what they've and achieved? having a knees up. 100% i think _ what they've and achieved? having a knees up. 10096 i think that - what they've and achieved? having a knees up. 10096 i think that is - what they've and achieved? having a knees up. 10096 i think that is the i knees up. 100% i think that is the case. normally in the olympics in the village to get a chance to celebrate and i think more than ever it is needed. i think all the athletes will be really looking forward to this, unofficial unwind and putting up. on what has been an amazing games. tt and putting up. on what has been an amazing games-— and putting up. on what has been an amazing games. it has been amazing and although — amazing games. it has been amazing and although the _ amazing games. it has been amazing and although the crowds _ amazing games. it has been amazing and although the crowds weren't i and although the crowds weren't there it did not stop phenomenal performances from the athletes so what do you think in terms of the

impact crowds have? i am not suggesting we repeat that performance, we are looking forward to thousands of people enjoying their paris olympics. but are you personally aware of the crowd when you are there?— personally aware of the crowd when you are there? listen, having a huge crowd makes — you are there? listen, having a huge crowd makes a _ you are there? listen, having a huge crowd makes a big _ you are there? listen, having a huge crowd makes a big difference, i crowd makes a big difference, especially for the smaller sports like tae kwon do, my sport, where the olympics is the pinnacle. we thrive on that energy of having a massive stadium packed and i think it is good for the athletes. as you mentioned, we still saw phenomenal performances but the reality is different athletes are affected differently. like you, i am looking forward to the crowds in paris. i won't be competing myself but what the athletes have just done, managing to get the best out of

themselves in very unusual is certain is worthy of celebrating. $5 certain is worthy of celebrating. as we count down to paris, the timescale is one year shorter because the games were postponed by 12 months, what does that mean in terms of athletes turning themselves round to the next games? how close is three years?— is three years? three years for an ol mic is three years? three years for an olympic athlete _ is three years? three years for an olympic athlete feels _ is three years? three years for an olympic athlete feels very - is three years? three years for an olympic athlete feels very short, | olympic athlete feels very short, technically 25% shorter. that certainly adds up. we will see a lot of athletes that might have retired normally might come back, believing they have one more in them. it will be very interesting, the pilot schemes, we will have more athletes than usual going forward. t schemes, we will have more athletes than usual going forward.— than usual going forward. i think ou are than usual going forward. i think you are right- — than usual going forward. i think you are right- i— than usual going forward. i think you are right. i think— than usual going forward. i think you are right. i thinkjason i than usual going forward. i think| you are right. i thinkjason kenny has been thinking he might pack it in but he got that gold and even

to questions over the uk's involvement in the conflict over the past 20 years — more than 10000 troops were stationed there and 450 lost their lives. former mp rory stewart has lived and worked in afghanistan for many years and hejoins us now. good morning. the one thing we have been talking about is the speed with which the taliban have progressed across the country and taking control of provincial capitals and it has surprised everyone. there control of provincial capitals and it has surprised everyone. are you surprised? — it has surprised everyone. are you surprised? i— it has surprised everyone. are you surprised? i am _ it has surprised everyone. are you surprised? i am surprised. - it has surprised everyone. are you surprised? i am surprised. but- it has surprised everyone. are you i surprised? i am surprised. but what we need to understand is that we had a very light presence on the ground, the us and uk, basically providing air support to the afghan army but it was like the keystone of the arch, a small contribution but without it nothing could be held together. it is very difficult for the afghan army to fight without air support. what president biden and others have done is crudely remove the vital thing that held the country together and by doing so

have allowed the taliban to capture almost the entire country in a matter of days. 50 almost the entire country in a matter of days.— almost the entire country in a matter of days. so should the reinstallation _ matter of days. so should the reinstallation of _ matter of days. so should the reinstallation of that - matter of days. so should the | reinstallation of that keystone matter of days. so should the i reinstallation of that keystone as you describe it be reinstalled which maintained the situation? t am maintained the situation? i am afraid it is _ maintained the situation? i am afraid it is too _ maintained the situation? i am afraid it is too late _ maintained the situation? i am afraid it is too late now. - maintained the situation? i am afraid it is too late now. as i maintained the situation? t —n afraid it is too late now. as you said we have not had active combat operations of the last five years. it would have been easy for president biden to keep that in place, we have not been suffering casualties so that is something which could have kept the country stable and allow progress which had been made to continue but that is gone now. i am afraid they could take over in a few hours now. we will have to adjust to a horrifying situation in which a regime which as you know brittle lies in women and provided safe haven to osama bin laden and has a very aggressive

attitude to the west will be taking over a country which has had extraordinary opportunities to develop in the last 20 years. it was one of the poorest places in the world 20 years ago. i am thinking about millions of afghans, some of whom are my friends, are now very frightened. what should happen now? two things, one, the west needs to take a good look at itself. the way the us and britain and others behaved is so grossly irresponsible. you had president biden saying this would never happen, the taliban would never happen, the taliban would not be able to take the country so it would make no difference to remove the air support. britain went along with this, did not try to bring together properly thought through plan on how we would deal with the us pulling out in support so that's the first problem so we need to look at

ourselves and ask how we could be so irresponsible and put 20 years investment, losing so many lives, setting up a situation where a lot has been achieved and then at the last minute throw it out the window records —— recklessly. secondly how do we deal with afghan —— afghanistan itself. as you can imagine everything is going on, inflation is going on, you cannot be sure of getting fit and that's just the beginning of everything happening, schools are shutting down, clinics are shutting down, people are taking refuge in their home. looting is taking place. people are trying to leave the country as refugees so we will have to get involved in humanitarian support. to get involved in humanitarian su ort. . to get involved in humanitarian suuort. ., to get involved in humanitarian su ort. ., ., ., to get involved in humanitarian sun-oft. ., ., , support. can i ask, given that is the case and — support. can i ask, given that is the case and given _ support. can i ask, given that is the case and given that - support. can i ask, given that is the case and given that british l support. can i ask, given that is i the case and given that british and american troops along with afghan police and the afghan army created an environment where infrastructure

was being improved, schools were being built, access to education for girls as well as boys, there was peace and stability to an extent, why is it that the community did not fight harder against the taliban to protect what they had built up over the last 20 years? t protect what they had built up over the last 20 years?— the last 20 years? i can feel your auestion the last 20 years? i can feel your question and _ the last 20 years? i can feel your question and l— the last 20 years? i can feel your question and i think _ the last 20 years? i can feel your question and i think there - the last 20 years? i can feel your question and i think there is i the last 20 years? i can feel your| question and i think there is some sense in it what you need to understand that what you're talking about really is ordinary civilian people. if you imagine you're an afghan female teacher working in a school, it is totally outrageous to suggest that when 900 taliban released prisoners came charging in pick—up trucks with heavy machine guns that you are going to be able to do much about it. but guns that you are going to be able to do much about it.— guns that you are going to be able to do much about it. but where were the hiuhl to do much about it. but where were the highly trained _ to do much about it. but where were the highly trained afghan _ to do much about it. but where were the highly trained afghan police i to do much about it. but where were the highly trained afghan police and | the highly trained afghan police and army that the us and british forces had invested so much in in the last decade? 50

had invested so much in in the last decade? ~ ., ., , decade? so the afghan army was completely _ decade? so the afghan army was completely dependent _ decade? so the afghan army was completely dependent on - decade? so the afghan army was| completely dependent on support decade? so the afghan army was i completely dependent on support from the us and the uk and others. they created an army were in order to hold towns and cities they relied on aeroplanes. we disabled any air support and that hit them in terms of morale. a lot of this is about the collapse of morale. the united states and britain left in the middle of the night without telling their afghan colleagues what they were doing. the afghan commanders walk up to find their bases empty. it has been terrible and that started a panic in the afghan army, they got the impression no one was with them, their leadership is not good and morale has collapsed and ta! abyad has been able to get into tal abyad has been able to get into town in town, this is not because the taliban has been supported by the taliban has been supported by the afghans but it is because their army has been left leaderless. it is very like what happened in iraq when a few hundred isis fighters took the west of iraq a few years ago. it is

not because the local population support them but it is difficult when you are suddenly attacked by an armed forces. abs, when you are suddenly attacked by an armed forces-— armed forces. a finalthought, you talk about your _ armed forces. a finalthought, you talk about your concerns _ armed forces. a finalthought, you talk about your concerns for - armed forces. a finalthought, you talk about your concerns for the i talk about your concerns for the afghan people, how worried are you on the global stage for how this affects the world and security with afghanistan held by the taliban, will it become a haven for terrorism exported around the world again? yes, i think it is terrifying. that is the humanitarian catastrophe which is many afghans are in terror about what happened but it is also the situation where we created our vacuum, pakistan, iran and other players will start flowing into this place. it is likely when the taliban takeover that extremist groups will function in this space. we are going to lose an enormous amount of risk, we will have to spend a lot of money and take responsibility for the mess

we have made. and take responsibility for the mess we have made-— and take responsibility for the mess we have made. thank you very much, aood to we have made. thank you very much, good to talk — we have made. thank you very much, good to talk to _ we have made. thank you very much, good to talk to you. _ we have made. thank you very much, good to talk to you. very _ we have made. thank you very much, good to talk to you. very stark - we have made. thank you very much, good to talk to you. very stark from l good to talk to you. very stark from rory stewart. we're here on the bbc news channel until nine this morning,

a first dose coronavirus vaccine is to be offered to all 16 and 17—year—olds in england by next monday, ahead of schools reopening in september. all high—risk children above the age of 12 are already eligible to get the jab. our health correspondent, anna collinson, reports. it's less than two weeks since thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation the uk government to expand it's less than two weeks since thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation the uk government to expand their roll—out to teenagers. now we have thejcvi advice of starting that initial dose of 16 to 17—year—olds. and i want us to proceed as fast as is practically possible. now the government in england says all 16 and 17—year—olds will be offered a covered vaccine over the next eight days. the target also includes children

between 12—15 who are classified as high—risk on live with someone you as a weakened immunity system. the hope this will help protect these groups before they return to school. for most of the uk that is early september, for scotland that is next week. even if this target is achieved, it can take weeks for parents of clinically extremely vulnerable children who have been eligible for a vaccine for nearly a month have told the bbc that time has been squandered and are worried about sending their kids back—to—school with minimal protection afterjust one dose. giving one dose gives quite a lot of protection and certainly reduces the more severe forms of the disease. it probably reduces the likelihood of passing it onto some of the others in your family or community who is vulnerable. like many other countries, this weekend island began vaccinating all children aged 12—15. ——ireland. this is still not

the case for the uk. whilstjcvi wait for further data. but across the four nations, there is a big push for 16 and 17—year—olds to get theirjabs over the coming days, including at drop—in clinics and walk—in vaccination sites. time to talk about the sport. and it was a goal fest.— was a goal fest. yes, it was a goal fest but my _ was a goal fest. yes, it was a goal fest but my team _ was a goal fest. yes, it was a goal fest but my team hasn't _ was a goal fest. yes, it was a goal fest but my team hasn't done i was a goal fest. yes, it was a goalt fest but my team hasn't done very well. what a way to kick off the premier league season... 25 goals scored in the seven games played yesterday, and some big wins for those expected to challenge for the title this season — manchester united, liverpool and chelsea all with opening day victories. with that, and more, joe lynskey reports. it's been 1.5 years since

we last heard the noise. after so long in the silence, the premier league is back and just to be here means so much. bruno fernandez was inspired by it all. at old trafford and manchester united against leeds when the volume goes up further. he saved his first united hat—trick for the intensity of this match, a thumping 5—1 win will last in the memory and through the lead get the others attention. when we drive into the stadium today, you've got the butterflies again, suddenly there is a game that matters in front of your fans. it's been so long without them. when the players perform like this produce, everyone can go home happily. liverpool's biggest addition is virgil van dyck�*s return from injury. within the team, they dominated this league. here, they were too good for norwich. commentator: 3—0, liverpool. game, set and match. mo salah's goal was his fifth in a row on the opening day.

no premier league player has done that before. so norwich were the only newly promoted side to lose this weekend. at vicarage road, watford stunned aston villa. commentator: how about that! a convincing win was one few here expected. something the coach will hold onto down the line. last year, they sacked three in one season. everton also have a new man at the helm, the welcome was frosty. rafael benitez has managed arch rivals liverpool but he knows goals changes things. he scores! ajoy unconfined. everton would beat southampton 3—1. the blues would score the same amount at stamford bridge. chelsea eased past crystal palace but trevor calabar broke down when he scored the third. he's been at the club since he was eight, and this was his league debut.

it meant that much more to have the fans into see it. for him and thousands around the country, it's good to be back. joe lynskey, bbc news. yes, it certainly is and good to see the fans back. england will resume day four of the second test against india at lords in the lead after anotherjoe root masterclass with the bat. the tourists will get the day under way later this morning — with their second innings, trailing by 27 runs. so finely poised — as stuart pollitt reports. when england's batting is in trouble as it often is, there is usually one way out of it. relying onjoe root. the captain's century in the first and saved his team. another half century here. if he is regularly resolute, the other path has been that of least resistance for opposition bowlers. not today. johnny bairstow battling to a half—century in support of his skipper. england through to lunch without losing a wicket. no wonder the champagne corks were popping. bairstow departed soon after for 57 but route

these bargains costing the planet? is the third—largest manufacturing sector in the world, the fashion industry produces a big chunk of the world's emissions, up to 8% of the global total is. the emissions could increase with production. it is why currently 125 countries have committed to the fashion industry charter for action committed to the fashion industry charterfor action in an committed to the fashion industry charter for action in an attempt to change how clothes are made and how much is produced. but if you're on a budget, what solutions that are out there which don't cost the earth in terms of your purse strings and the planet? first, the experts say the most sustainable option is the simplest, where what you already own. but if you're bored with your wardrobe you can always swap items of clothing with your friends and family or via social media sites. if it is broken, mended said this charity. they help people learn skills to fix things. it can always

critically endangered, as graham satchell reports. they are magnificent creatures that have graced the earth's oceans for more than 400 million years. but the shark population is being threatened by overfishing. it is estimated that 75 million sharks are killed every year. fishermen are after one thing — the fin. shark fins are a lucrative delicacy, particularly popular in far eastern countries. when sharks are caught, the fins are removed and the animal is then discarded, often still alive, back into the sea. the practice, known as finning, was banned in uk waters more than 20 years ago. but under eu rules, the fins themselves could still be imported and exported. the government has now banned the trade entirely. anything that discourages the action of shark finning which is the removal of shark fins at sea and disposal of the carcasses to be encouraged. this is the next step in a history of proactive moves by the uk since they helped to spearhead the first ban in 2003 and championed the policy of the removal of shark fins at sea several years before the adoption of the same policy

by the eu in 2013. the uk market in shark fin is small compared to other countries. the government says it is sending a message, that it does not support an industry that is forcing many species of shark to the brink of extinction. they are beautiful creatures and must be protected. they are beautiful creatures and must be protected. that's all from breakfast for today. we won't be back but do enjoy the rest of your weekend. goodbye.
