axel rudakubana was 17 when he bought, on amazon, the kitchen knife he used to kill three girls at ast summer. on monday, he pleaded guilty to the murders of bebe king, elsie dot stancombe and alice da silva aguiar after multiple authorities missed multiple chances to stop him. and despite the fact he had been convicted for violence and was just 17, he was easily able to order a knife on amazon. that is a total disgrace and it must change. a public inquiry has been launched and one area it will investigate is the ease with which he bought the weapon. the government wants to move fast on this. sir keir starmer has pledged that online firms will be forced to ask anyone buying a knife for two types of identification — notjust a document, but something like a live selfie video, too. writing in the sun newspaper, the prime minister said: it is already illegal to sell most knives to under—18s. a former government adviser on terrorism gave us his assessment of the plan to toughen the rules. we all have some form of identity. students often have identity cards for their student lives. and so

his words follow the guilty pleas entered yesterday by axel rudakubana in relation to his attack on a dance class lastjuly, after which details emerged of his long history of violence. the case has also prompted questions about whether the authorities should have revealed more after the attack to avoid misinformation on social media, which eventually led to violent unrest on the streets. more on that in a moment, but first vicki young has this report from westminster. it was a murderous attack that shocked the nation. three young girls who came here to enjoy the start of the summer holidays but never went home. today, the prime minister called the deaths of bebe king, elsie dot stancombe and alice aguiar a devastating moment in our history that had to lead to fundamental change. the tragedy of the southport killings must be a line in the sand for britain. i will not let any institution of the state deflect from their failure, failure which in this case, frankly, leaps off the page. yesterday, after axel rudakubana pleaded guilty in court to murder, details were made public about his p

a picture's starting to emerge of issues within axel rudakubana's past.home here on several occasions in the couple of months leading up to the attack. a week before the stabbing, rudakubana tried to return to his old school on the last day of term — it is thought to attack children as they left the building. he'd booked a taxi there, but that time his father ran out and stopped him. he'd been expelled from the school five years earlier, having taken a knife there, which he didn't use. dylan pemberton's daughter was a pupil there at the same time. my daughter had witnessed him chasing a kid with a hockey stick outside her maths class through one of the corridors. and it was apparently well known to her and herfriends, and to the school, that he had a kill list. after his arrest rudakubana was found to have a study of an al-qaeda training manual and the poison ricin in a box under his bed. he is not known to have a single ideology, which police say is why the attack wasn't treated as terrorism. but the teenager was referred to the government's counterterro

speaking about the role of social media companies in the wake of the conviction of the southport murderer axelana. the chancellor said social media sites have a moral duty to take down harmful and illegal violent content. she was commenting on a letter the home secretary, going down to london and manchester. around 20,000 homes in scotland without power currently. a slightly worse picture on that front in northern ireland. 75,000 homes without power. and the storms continue to come, because we're expecting heavy rains and strong gales coming that's storm herminia — not as strong as the storm we'vejust experienced, but more bad weather still to come. the majority of the rail network in scotland remains closed with network rail dealing with around 400 separate incidents. rachel reeves has also been speaking about the role of social media companies in the wake of the conviction of the southport murderer axel rudakubana. the chancellor said social media sites have a moral duty to take down harmful and illegal violent content. she was commenting on a letter the home secretary, and those companies h

earlier this week, 18—year—old axel rudakubana unexpectedly pleaded guilty to murder, attempted murdere sentenced later today. the government has announced there will be a public inquiry into what happened. our reporterjayne mccubbin has been to southport to meet those whose lives have been changed by the attack. three young victims will never be forgotten here in southport. life is returning to normal for many in this small town, but for some, it is changed forever. ah! all: ah! ooh! all: ooh! people stopped doing things. i think that was what it was. you know, when do you start to laugh? | when do you start to smile? when you know what these families are and will- always be experiencing. and i think that's it, - it's a little bit of respect. this atrocity has hit us so hard. # broke my heart...# but it has— brought out the best in us. beyond today's sentencing, people know there will be a reckoning about where else the blame should lie. yeah, ijust feel that we cannot keep up with the internet. i mean, i think it's desperately difficult for people in social services because they get

because their murderer, axel rudakubana, was just nine days short of 18 at the time of the attack, heubana will spend 52 years in prison before being eligible for release. the labour mp for southport, patrick hurley, says that's not good enough. i think in circumstances such as this — exceptional circumstances — we need to have the ability to have exceptional sentences being placed. and i would urge the government and the attorney general to look again, to see what can be done in these exceptional circumstances, in order to ensure that a whole life tariff could be imposed. but the defence secretary, john healey, says the government's hands are tied. there are limits on international united nations law that prevent us from having a court system that will impose unlimited sentences on under—18—year—olds. but in practice, i can't see this man ever coming out of prison. i don't want to see this man ever coming out of prison. despite the outpouring of emotion and grief over what happened in southport, the criminal bar association, which represents barristers, said that strength of feeling

the conclusions of that review had been brought forward because of axel rudakubana's guilty pleas onto what happened in southport, but as we had from the prime minister yesterday morning, his assessment of what needs to change as a result of the brutal crimes committed in southport goes way beyond tweaks to the rules on how someone can prove they are 18 when buying a knife, it is much broader things he is talking about changing in state and society. this isjust one about changing in state and society. this is just one small response. society. this is 'ust one small response. thank you. we are auoin to response. thank you. we are going to turn _ response. thank you. we are going to turn our _ response. thank you. we are going to turn our attention i response. thank you. we arej going to turn our attention to the middle east with the latest on the gaza ceasefire. live to these pictures in gaza. this is the scene in rafah, where aid trucks have been entering the territory and many displaced people are returning to assess the scale of damage. some trucks have been looted with people taki

she was asked about what the evidence she had in this case that the killer, axel rudakubana, that thatis country. she said that the evidence she had was her own background, her own african christian upbringing, the effort we make to make people feel part of the whole. but, she said asking for evidence is the sort of thing that we start to lose our way. we need to discuss these things. and that was her clearly expressed view. damian grammaticas. jannik sinner is just one set away from claiming back to back australian open titles. he's leading alex zverev two sets to love in the final in melbourne. world numbers one and two. both sets were tightly contested but one break was enough for the italian to take the first... and the second was won on a tie break. sinner has won both his grand slam finals so far. while his german opponent has lost his first two. 11—2 now. meanwhile madison keys has been out and about in melbourne with her new australian open trophy. the american said she hadn't had much sleep since defeating two—time defending champion aryna sabalenka in a three—set thriller...

dot stancombe and alice da silva aguiar — violent and extreme material had been accessed online by axelrror training manuals. the biggest tech companies have been asked to take the material down, but it's still available, so the government has written to them saying... it's totally unacceptable the fact that the killer, before he went on to commit those horrific crimes, was able to access — really easily, on some of the online platforms — such hateful material. and those companies have got a moral responsibility to take that content down and make it harder for people to access it. the mistakes that meant police and others didn't stop rudakubana in time will be the subject of a public inquiry. he was born and raised in the uk. today, the conservative leader, kemi badenoch, repeated her view his crimes represent a failure of integration. he had materials about, you know, white genocide and so on. if you are being inculcated in hate, you are not integrating well. what's your evidence that a lack of integration was part of the reason that he went on to commit these absolutely heinous crimes

the case of axel rudakubana is indicative of a new threat the uk faces, the prime minister says.rse, remains, but now alongside that, we also see acts of extreme violence perpetrated by loners, misfits, young men in their bedroom accessing all manner of material online, desperate for notoriety. so the deaths of bebe king, elsie dot stancombe and alice da silva aguilar will, sir keir starmer says, lead to fundamental change. rudakubana pleaded guilty to their murders yesterday. obsessed by killing, he had downloaded details of an al-qaeda training manual and produced the poison ricin. he had been referred to the prevent programme, which aims to identify extremists and stop attacks. there was no follow—up, as he didn't appear to have an overarching motive. we do need to either rethink prevent or have an alternative scheme that deals with really high—risk people who are obsessed with violence. the example that i would give, thinking about america, is the terrible phenomenon of school massacres. that's not political terrorism or religious terrorism, it is just copycat killing. preven

his comments follow the murder of three young girls in southport by axel rudakubana.om our deputy political editor vicki young. it was a murderous attack that shocked the nation. three young girls who came here to enjoy the start of the summer holidays but never went home. today, the prime minister called the death of bebe king, elsie dot stancombe and alice aguiar a devastating moment in our history, that had to lead to fundamental change. the tragedy of the southport killings must be a line in the sand for britain. i will not let any institution of the state deflect from their failure, failure which in this case, frankly, leaps off the page. yesterday, after axel rudakubana pleaded guilty in court to murder, details were made public about his past behaviour. he was obsessed by killing, had downloaded details of an al-qaeda training manual, and produced the poison ricin. on three occasions, the teenager had been referred to the counter—terrorism scheme prevent, but he didn't meet the threshold for intervention. keir starmer said it was time to accept that terrorism h

on monday, axel rudakubana pleaded guilty to the murders in southport last summer of elsie dot stancombeice da silva aguiar and bebe king, and on thursday he was sentenced to life witha minimum of 52 years in jail. the news at six covered some of the highly distressing details about some of the attacks which emerged in court. some of the injuries were so horrific that we are not going to report it all, and i must warn you that what you're about to hear is very distressing. judith moritz reports now from crown court. the report that followed from judith moritz, daniel sandford and fiona trott in liverpool, and the programme as a whole, drew praise from viewers, as did the live coverage during the day on the news channel, much of it fronted by sarah campbell. but there were also concerns about the coverage during the course of the week, articulated in this anonymous phone message we received. i wish the bbc would stop showing the picture of the southport child killer. you are enhancing his notoriety. yes, let's make sure it's never forgotten, but we don't need to keep seeing a picture of h

we'll start with 18—year—old axel rudakubana — who's been sentenced to a minimum of 52 years for the lastjuly, as well as the attempted murder of ten other people — mostly children. he was just nine days shy of his 18th birthday at the time of the offences. that's significant because the law doesn't allow life sentences without minimum term to under 18s. and the judge said that's the sentence he'd have given, if rudakubana was old enough. the judge added that it's highly unlikely he'll ever be released. the 0scar nominations are officially out and the biggest hitter is emilia perez, featuring in 13 categories! that makes it the most nominated foreign film in history. and it's broken another record: karla sofia gascon's best actress nomination makes her the first transgender person to be nominated for an acting prize at the awards. and more than 100 communities on reddit have banned users from posting links to elon musk�*s platform, x. it's a protest against this arm gesture at a donald trump rally. he's been accused by critics — and some historians — of making a nazi salute. musk sai
