We sat in the Back Garden having a cup of coffee and heard four gunshots. Then we seen obviously the ambulance, helicopters, trying to land in the park. I heard a shot, walked round the corner, bumped into a shotgun a bloke with a shotgun seen a woman on the doorstep, walked over and helped her. Four people died at the scene, two were male and two were female. Anotherfemale died in hospital a short time later. But they all died from gunshot wounds.

Theres lots of people who were literally in their homes, on The Street, opening their doors to the commotion, to see people on the pavement, having been shot outside their home, so theres an awful lot of people for whom access to the emergency support, which is necessary to make sense of it and to make sure that theyre.

Earlier, the Defence Secretary Ben Wallace gave us his reaction to the shooting what i can say is we have ruled out terrorism as being behind it. I think it is a very sad and tragic event. My thoughts are with the families who have relatives and friends who lost their lives. It is a tragic loss. We should wait for the police to set out the details at some stage earlier this morning. They have a meeting early in the day, and we will get to understand more. I also think we should recognise the brave Police Officers who attended the situation with an armed man under their own threat, took decisive action is what we will see. When i was security minister, we increased funding to the local police, more armed officers, more highly skilled officers, hundred and 44 Million at left is what we spent and we should reflect, lessons to learn, i spoke to the Home Secretary this morning and it is in hand and the situation is now closed. That was the secretary the situation is now closed. That was the secretary of the situation is now closed. That was the Secretary Of State for defence. In a devastating blow for the afghan government five more provincial capitals have fallen to the taliban in the last 2a hours. The militants now control Ia Provincial Capitals and most of northern afghanistan. Britain and the us are sending troops back into afghanistan to help evacuate their nationals. Taliban fighters have captured kandahar. The city is the Talibans Birthplace and former stronghold taking control is a significant prize for the militants. Other important cities such as herat and ghazni were captured within hours of Each Other on thursday. And the taliban have also taken lashkar gar, capital of the southern province of Helmand. , as well as Qala I Naw in the north. There are increasing concerns that the militants will continue their Lightning Speed Offensive toward the capital, kabul, where Tens Of Thousands of civilians have fled violent street fighting. Our correspondent in kabul, yogita limaye, gave us this update. Well, people are in Shock-and-disbelief'>Shock And Disbelief over what has happened just over a single day. Five provincial capitals have fallen to the taliban, among them major cities. Kandahar, this countrys second largest city, a big economic centre. To the taliban, it is a traditional stronghold, so they will be looking at this as a major victory. Herat is in the west of the country, close to the bOrder with iran, so it is important for trade. These are big losses for the afghan government, it leaves them in a very vulnerable position and it has all happened in a span of 12 hours. We started the day talking about ghazni, about 100 hours south of kabul, and by The End of the day, it was five provincial capitals, including Lashkar Gah in the Helmand province. That is where some of the fiercest battles were fought over the past 20 years, hundreds of british and foreign troops died, thousands of afghan soldiers were killed there, and now it has been taken over by the taliban. Afghan forces have retreated to a Military Base just outside the city. So people really in a sense of Shock here about what has happened and the silence from the leadership of this country, we havent heard yet from the president or any of his top ministers about the Developments Yesterday and i think the longer that continues, the more there will be speculation and rumours about what could potentially happen in kabul.

The situation in capital is calm at the moment but all over the country we have seen since The End of last year and the first six months of this year, a steep increase in fighting. The consequence in terms of humanitarian consequences for the civilian population. What has been the most impressive in the last couple of weeks has been the shift of this fighting into urban areas, in areas where the City Population is higher and the consequences of the fighting has had a tremendous increasing negative impact on the situation of the civilian population.

We have ourselves and our afghan colleagues who are part of the civilian population have been suffering from the consequences of what is happening at the moment either in cities that have suffered fighting, we have colleagues and other people who have been forced to flee to escape the violence or because their house has been damaged or destroyed and been forced to move out. That is one of the main consequences. This is affecting not only the Life And Survival of the civilian population but it is a big thing, the capacity of organisations such as us to delegate our services. The arrival of us troops. Delegate our services. The arrival of us troops, they delegate our services. The arrival of us troops, they will delegate our services. The arrival of us troops, they will be delegate our services. The arrival of us troops, they will be at delegate our services. The arrival of us troops, they will be at the l of us troops, they will be at the airport mainly, but the british are also sending personnel to help evacuate their nationals. What does that say to people on The Street in afghanistan . What is the feeling . It will be increasing their anxiety, on purely humanitarian side for an organisation like ours, the overall situation, because we have presence in all the cities you have mentioned before, we have a presence here in capital, it forces us to review, rebalance our need to maintain our services and how many people are needed to maintain the services and the risk we are taking in front of the risk we are taking in front of the evolution of the security environment. We have to take decisions in sending people back home for instance, staying at home and not coming to the office, or to the medical structure we are working and, Orto The Medical Structure we are working and, or to send some of our expatriate staff out of afghanistan until the situation calms down. In terms of the people on the ground, you have staff in various cities that we have named, what are they seeing . 0nce that we have named, what are they seeing . Once the taliban have taken control of a city, what do the members of the red Cross Deal with . How are they helping the locals . The how are they helping the locals . Tie consequences of the fighting, the first major consequence is on people being wounded. We provide a service of picking up the wounded on the battlefield sometimes, to bring them to the nearest accessible medical facility, what has been more difficult because fighting was ongoing in cities where it was difficult or impossible to bring the wounded to the nearby medical facility. The other aspect of what we are looking the moment is to look at damage infrastructures. Those which are necessary for the survival of the population. Mainly water which have been interrupted because Electricity Supply has been interrupted or the Water System has been damaged. We are working at finding the best solution to put things back in Order. Finding the best solution to put things back in Order. Thank you very much for that things back in Order. Thank you very much for that assessment. The Defence Secretary Ben Wallace says afghanistan is now heading for civil war, which, he says, will lead to more poverty and create a Breeding Ground for terrorism. The history of Afghanistan And Britain found that out in the 1830s is that it is a Country Led by warlords and led by different provinces and tribes and you end up, if you are not very careful, in a civil war, and i think we are heading towards a civil war, initially shown by a taliban with momentum. The taliban is not entirely a single entity, they break down underneath the title into all sorts of different interests, but fundamentally, as i said earlier, i have concerned that when states become failed states or warlike states as it is looking like at the moment in afghanistan the Breeding Ground for both poverty, and we shouldnt forget that, both poverty and indeed terrorism grows. And it is why security is the most important thing. Tom tugendhat is chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee and says its not surprising this has happened. Over the last ten, 15 years, we have got to a position where about five years ago, nato stopped being involved in the fighting. I dont know if you have noticed, but you havent reported on any deaths of any british soldiers for about eight, nine years. The americans havent reported on any deaths of any american soldiers for about two years. And there is a reason for that, the afghans have stepped up. Weve equipped them with aircraft, with the support necessary to conduct the fight, theyve stepped up and theyve done it. And now we have just pulled the rug from under them. It is a bit like training up our Cycling Team in the Manchester Velodrome for years and years and years on the best bicycles, on the best kit so they are winning, and they get to tokyo and you give them a tricycle. Lets get more from our diplomatic correspondent paul adams. I want to pick up on the point that he was making, that the Afghan Army had stepped up and they had the equipment but now they have been abandoned. Is that the general situation . Is that the feeling there . ,. , situation . Is that the feeling there . ,. , there . There are a couple of things. Yes, there . There are a couple of things. Yes. There there . There are a couple of things. Yes. There has there . There are a couple of things. Yes, there has been there . There are a couple of things. Yes, there has been enormous yes, there has been enormous investment in the capability of the afghan security forces, draining out large numbers of troops, with an emphasis on special forces, and there will be utter dismay among those who have been involved in that process as they watch this Afghan Army that they have spent 20 years creating simply crumbling and falling apart so there is a sense that this has been an effort that has not yielded the kind of results that it should have done. But the other point is that yes, there was a heavy reliance even in relatively recent times on a degree of western support, fairly modest in terms of numbers on the ground, but crucial in areas like airpower, the ability to call in Air Strikes which needs a certain amount of organisation, exporters on the ground who know what they are doing, it is a whole infrastructure, and people involved infrastructure, and people involved in the maintenance of the aircraft. If you take all of that away, you are removing a key capability from the Afghan Army. There is a sense that here was a campaign that for the last several years was a relatively low Cost Business for the americans and british and others who were there. There were not large numbers of casualties. It had more or less faded away from public consciousness. There is dismay among those who have been involved in this that suddenly that has come unstuck, has been pulled out and the afghans have been left to defend for themselves.

There were always going to be provisions for the final withdrawal of personnel, british embassy personnel, other british embassy personnel, other british nationals who were in afghanistan working in various capacities and crucially hundreds, perhaps 2000 afghans who had worked with the british over the years. That was always going to happen. But it is happening in a hurried and chaotic and alarming way. Here we are, we have got thousands of british and american troops being Sentin British and american troops being sent in at the last minute to oversee this process and to make sure it happen smoothly at a time when No One knows if they are going to be able to carry on using Civilian Aircraft or to switch to military aircraft, No One knows how quickly the taliban advance on capital will develop and whether new sets of Contingency Plans will have to be put in place at the last minute. They had hoped it would be an organised process done calmly without raising any alarms, and it is beginning to look like saigon in 1975.

They can see in terms of fighting and in terms of the political deals and tribal deals that are being done all over the country, people who they may have thought were loyal are no longer loyal, signing with the taliban, places following without a fight. A nominal Peace Process going on in the gulf, in which taliban officials are talking about their desire for a negotiated settlement which creates an astonishing level of dissidence. I do not think the afghan government knows where to go. They are trapped in the headlights of an oncoming disaster. They are trapped in the headlights of an oncoming disaster. Thank you very much the Metropolitan Police says a 14 year old boy has been charged with the murder Of James who was stabbed after confronting a group Of Teenagers In Chingford in east london, on monday evening. The father of Britney Spears, has agreed to step down as her conservator, after 13 years. The Pop Star has been mounting a series of legal challenges to the Court Agreement that gave her Father Control over her estate and other aspects of her life. A lawyer representing britney says its another step toward justice. 0ur Correspondent Barbara Plett Usher has more. This has been quite a year for Britney Spears. She finally began to speak out about the arrangement that controls her life. The target of that anger was her father, jamie, the man who became her conservator after she apparently suffered a breakdown 13 years ago. It is a sort of Guardian Role to handle all of her affairs. During recent court hearings, the singer accused him of using her money for himself and of abusing his power. Speaking directly to the judge, she said she wanted more control of her finances and her body. She even alleged that the conservatorship was forcing her to use Birth Control when she wanted to have a baby. Mr spears has also become a focus of angerforfans in the free britney movement. He says the attacks are unjustified and that there are no grounds for removing him but that he is now willing to step down to avoid a public battle with his daughter, when the time is right. The singer still cant spend her vast fortune as she pleases. Its likely her father will eventually be replaced by a professional accountant. But her fans and her lawyer are hailing what they see as a vindication of her position and an important step towards setting her free. Barbara plett usher, Bbc News, los angeles. With yet more intense heat in the us this week, Forest Fires in many western states can be seen from space. The Dixie Fire in california started a month ago; its the second biggest fire in the states history, and is still raging. Oregon is also battling one of the largest fires its ever faced. To combat these historic blazes, new technology is being deployed. 0ur North America Tech Reporter James Clayton has been flying over Washington State to see how Infra Red mapping allows those in the sky, to help the fight on the ground. This is the Dixie Fire in northern california. It has been blazing since the middle ofjuly and has continued to grow. It is now the second largest wildfire in state history. It has already consumed an entire town, yet it is just one of the many fires americans faced this year. The Weather Outlook is bad too, with Drought And Heat waves across many western states. Some experts worry that this could go on for months. This aerial Scanning Team has been making intense night time reconnaissance trips over Forest Fires for two months now. Mike Murphys Mission is to get as close to the fires as possible to scan them and then send detailed maps to firefighters on the ground. These are intense flights between eight and ten hours long, and i have been allowed tojoin them. Tonights flight is over the state of washington. After 15 minutes, the clouds become thicker until we see a huge plume of smoke, the first fire of the day. It is only really when you are up in the air that you get a sense of the Scale Ofjust how big these Forest Fires are. They almost look like Mushroom Clouds from a nuclear explosion, covering the state with this thick haze. It is really difficult to know what is going on on the ground which is why firefighters want the scans of the fire. Mike uses infrared cameras to see through the smoke. This is a live fire and it is building right 110w. This is all the front of the fire. All the red is areas of intense heat. From this height, everywhere you look, you can see fires, big and small. The sun is just setting now and we have been over five fires. You can see how far the haze goes, all the way into the distance. Afterfour hours, we refuel and mike takes the chance to send the scans to the Forestry Service. When we find these fires, we try to pass this information off to the Forestry Service as fast as fast as we can so they can respond to it as fast as they can. Then, it is back up again, surveying the burning terrain well into the night. This is what we can see from the plane, and this is what mike can see as he scans the fires. This technology is not going to prevent Forest Fires, but it is a crucial tool in battling against them. And with more scorching summer days ahead, firefighters need all the help they can get. The italian island of sicily may have registered the hottest temperature ever recorded in europe 48. 8 degrees centigrade. Regional authorities reported the reading on wednesday and are waiting for it to be verified. The official European Record is currently 48 degrees, registered in athens in 1977. Italys Health Ministry has issued red alerts for extreme heat in several regions. Now its time for a look at the weather with helen. Hello. It is a breezy day ahead for many. We have already had showers this morning. They are more prevalent across the northern half of the uk, but they cant be ruled out further south. And, in fact, in southern areas, we have the remnants of Yesterdays Weather Front and so just a band of cloud, really, the Odd Spot of rain or drizzly shower which should tend to ease away. You can see for england and wales very few showers, but they will be heavy and frequent in north Western Parts of both scotland and Northern Ireland, heavy and thundery, fewer Showers East of the grampians and across the eastern side of Northern Ireland, but that brisk wind close to Gale Force in the North West Will temper the feel of things. Perhaps 22 or 23 in the south. It will be cooler overnight, actually, under clearing skies. Notice the low pressure still with us across the north of scotland, so plenty of showers coming in here. But in the suburbs, a little on the cool side. As we go into the weekend, there is still some uncertainty. You may have noticed that rain creeping into the west, so more cloud for Western Parts of the uk, but a good deal of dry weather still this weekend. Hello, this is Bbc News. The headlines. A suspected gunman who killed five people including a child under 10 in a residential area in plymouth has been named locally as Jake Davison. The gunman is believed to have turned the gun on himself. The incident is the worst Mass Shooting in britain since 2010. I heard a shot, walked around the corner, bumped into a shotgun, a bloke with a shotgun, seen a woman on the doorstep, walked over, out there.

Lets get more now on the news that five people have been killed in a residential area of plymouth in the worst Mass Shooting lets get more now on the news that five people have been killed in britain since 2010. Five people have been killed lets talk to our correspondent at the scene, sarah ransome. The investigation is continuing, the police have been here overnight, there are still a raft here overnight. You can see some forensic officers have arrived, combing the area, scouring for any information that might help piece together exactly what happened. 0f that might help piece together exactly what happened. Of course it was just after 6pm when reports went into Emergency Services, neighbours are reporting they heard shootings or gunshots in a house and a commotion and then shortly after that there were reports of more shootings and sounds of gunshots in The Streets surrounding it. There was a massive Emergency Operation that swung into action. This morning there are so many Police Officers still here, is still trying to work out exactly what happened, but for the community here, they are waking up the community here, they are waking up this morning to the tragic news that six people have died in the attack, so two males and two females who died on site, a third woman, female was taken to hospital and later died there. The sixth person we understand was the good who died on the site as well. But for the community it is a tight knit community it is a tight knit community and the shadow of Devonport Dockyard just a few steps away, we hear it is a strong, close knit community, but they are struggling this morning to come to terms with what happened on their doorstep.

He reacted very quickly Yesterday Evening when this story first broke so hopefully getting the latest from him. More than a third of English Councils support policies that could increase Carbon Emissions despite having declared a Climate Emergency, according to bbc research. Road Building And Airport expansion are among examples provided by 45 out of 121 questionnaire respondents who say they have passed climate motions. 0ur Energy and environment analyst, Roger Harrabin has more. The residue of our consumerist lives. Truckload after truckload of stuff we wanted once but want no more. 0ur Waste generates lots of planet eating greenhouse gases, but in leeds, theyre turning it into something useful. Heat. Burning waste is controversial, but this giant plant, with its searing temperatures, generates electricity, and provides hot water to warm peoples homes through a network of pipes. So we will extract over 100,000 megawatt hours of electricity here and export that to the local area network. Over 25,000 megawatt hours of heat energy, which feeds over 2000 homes and tens of businesses. Even the lorries that collect the waste are going electric. Leeds has a reputation as one of the uks greenest cities. But what about this . Green leeds wants to expand its airport. Even though flying damages the climate. Its extremely difficult to get that balance right, and there are always going to be competing factors. If we dont expand, the fear is that somebody else will and that economic growth will go elsewhere. Similar economic arguments are made about roads. Councils backing Road Schemes include those in wiltshire, in shropshire, and also in london. Even though councillors declared a Climate Emergency. We need to see changes in Government Policy and Government Planning Policy so its actually a legal obligation for every development to be in line with the climate change targets. In leeds, the Airport Expansion is widely opposed. I dont like it in a certain way because it means that more planes have got to come in. You know, and its making more pollution. Really important, its the future of everything, isnt it . If we are not green, i if we are not sustainable, then everything is going to fall apart i guess in the future. I i mean, theres so much fuel used with the aeroplanes, theres so much, so many resources required for an airport for everybody to fly around. It has to be as green as possible. I dont really think about it that much but my grandma goes on about it a lot. What kind of world will we live in in 20 years time . All these things are happening already, What Kind Of World will be left for our children and our grandchildren . Politicians on the doorstep and Around The World are making decisions that will help to determine the future. Roger harrabin, Bbc News. Joining me now to discuss this is councillor helen hayden, leeds city councils executive member for climate and infrastructure. And you would have picked her up in that report we just saw.

We have a long way to go and we have to take really firm steps and quite bold steps in Order to meet our target of 2030 being net carbon neutral. And we want to be halfway there by 2025, form my tears away, so we have a lot to do but we are doing so much in leeds to mitigate and lower our Carbon Emissions.

Im really proud and pleased to be able to say, you have i pleased to be able to say, you have already heard about one example, our district heating scheme. I love the cyclical nature of the black bean waste, producing electricity and hot water, which heats in a low carbon way. Our water, which heats in a low carbon way. 0ur2000 water, which heats in a low carbon way. Our 2000 flats, water, which heats in a low carbon way. 0ur2000 flats, our civic buildings, the town hall, the museum. And that has been achieved by having the vision and the ambition. It also tackles Fuel Poverty and therefore Food Poverty because people have more money. And it is a city where you dont need a car because we have the Public Transport and a way to cycle safely. And i assume one of the top priorities is what you describe is firm, bold steps, which i suppose is others speak far, there are other challenges. What are they . I5 challenges. What are they . I3 funding. I have brilliant officers who have to spend time and Money Bidding for Government Funding that then has to be spent within about six months. But the private sector partners cannot invest in apprenticeships and this is a long Term Problem we need to invest in now, the sustainable long Term Funding from the government. And not bids. I want a stream of funding coming in to tackle the crisis the stop we cannot do it on our own. Leeds has the ambition, but we need to the governments support, the Government Funding and we need the long Term Strategy from the government. In terms of things like Air Travel as well as other issues that we face, in terms of retrofitting, etc and tackling the entrenched problems we have in the city.

We need to have had a long Term Strategy in Order to fulfil that. The government needs to, instead of the Bidding Process where we may or may not get the money, we might get the money in six months� time, it is difficult to navigate and we need to that pot of money, because this is a whole country, a global response and we need their resources. Under the policies in place to achieve that, we can do it in leeds, we can, we� ve shown we shown we can, we have the ambition and knowledge, we have the climate commission, the universities, everyone around the city, the clean Air Alliance are very passionate people, we are all working together and we just need the government to support and money.

We have i been tracking Job Adverts since the start of the pandemic as a way of uncovering what is happening in the labour market, how employers are feeling about their hiring intentions and from our other reports we have seen the confidence to hire people has returned and now standing at the highest level we have seen since 2016. Similarly we have seen since 2016. Similarly we have tracked what is happening with permanentJob Placements and permanent Job Placements and Temporaryjob Permanentjob placements and temporaryJob Placements. They are standing at nearly 24 year high, so for us, what we are getting, the message from recruiters and employers is that demand for people in these roles is stronger than ever and actually what we now need to be doing is thinking about how we are going to fulfil the roles.

There isjust under tough way, so we still have a number of people. There is just under Two Million people on furlough, so they haven� t been available to work, but the Unemployment Level has not hit the Unemployment Level has not hit the highest that people were predicting at The End of last year, so whereas there were predictions around the ten, 15 unemployment, we are actually at 4. 8 and No One is thinking it will get much higher than that. Butjobs can be local and can be very occupationally specific. You mentioned how there was a high demand for photographers, a decline far demand in the Education Professions which is tying up with the summer holidays, but i demand will come up in september. But we have seen a high demand for people working in professions around house building, Construction And Anything to do with Home Improvements which reflects what many of us are doing, working from home right now. Home right now. Thank you for Oininr Home right now. Thank you for joining us the British Antarctic Survey says it doesn� t know when scientists can return to one of its Research Stations. It� s because of the danger posed by a giant iceberg that� s almost the size of Greater London. Experts are tracking the mass from space as it circles the antarctic coastline, as our Science Correspondent Jonathan Amos reports. It was the briefest and gentlest of icy kisses. A colossal iceberg, a74, weighing billions of tonnes, scrapes past a region of the antarctic known as the brunt ice shelf. It was the moment the British Antarctic Survey had been anticipating for months. The expectation was the berg would knock into and dislodge another vast and unstable piece of ice that is sitting in front of the survey� s halley Research Station. We� ve been tracking the progress of the cracks that will eventually cause it to carve for a long time. When it does eventually go, the fact that it� s not attached by a very large section of ice means it is quite unlikely to influence the remaining section of the ice shelf, where halley is. The fact that nothing was dislodged this time will be a frustration for the British Antarctic Survey. Until the unstable ice in front of halley comes away, the base must close every winter on safety grounds, and this impacts the world leading science that can be done at this important location. It� s at halley, for example, that they discovered and continue to monitor the hole in the ozone layer. Icebergs the size of a74 are impressive, but they are not necessarily an indicator of climate change. The antarctic balances the amount of snow falling on the interior of the continent by routinely discharging blocks of ice at its margins. Given the rarity of these carving events, it is quite hard to know whether we are seeing more at the moment or whether we are just getting better and better satellite data. The survey will continue to track a74 and the behaviour of the brunt ice shelf. It is entirely possible the big berg� s gentle embrace delivered some unseen damage. If that� s the case, the expected breakaway of unstable ice could yet happen in the days ahead. Jonathan amos, Bbc News. Now it� s time for a look at the weather with helen. The heat continues across Southern Europe and the north of africa, temperatures well in excess of where they should be for this time of year because the High Pressure is trapping the heat underneath. Unfortunately it is exacerbating the wildfires we see. A very different picture at home, low pressure with us as we head through friday and through the weekend. It means with the low Pressure Close to scotland, it is here we will see probably most of the showers clustering together to give lengthy spells of quite heavy and at Times Thundery Rain and with a brisk wind close to belfast in the west, it will push the showers across into Eastern Scotland although here they will be fewer and further between. Similar in Northern Ireland, plenty of showers with sunny spells, some in north Western Parts of england and wales, a bit further south it is sunny spells and cloud. It is a leftover Weather Front from yesterday giving some drizzly showers. It is breezy across england and wales but still up to 23 degrees. Ten bet the because of the brisk breeze. Still lots of showers here, slightly drier skies, gloomy skies further south, winds falling light and here down to single figures in rural areas. Notice the next batch of rain, the next area of low pressure is still some uncertainty on the detail for the weekend, but it is firming up we will see some cloud as a low pressure approaches Western Parts of england and wales, Northern Ireland eventually northern england. We will see some rain while further east, more likely to see increasing cloud. The rain potentially turning heavier into the afternoon. Low pressure still to scotland but far fewer showers. Drierspells still to scotland but far fewer showers. Drier spells here with sunshine also, but come sunday the next area of rain will approach the North And East of scotland as well as our Weather Fronts in low pressure still with us to the south. But you see the Weather Front is becoming weaker, areas of cloud, some rain potentially across the North And East of scotland, turning chilly behind that with the northerly breeze. But still quite a lot of tray and settled weather. As ever, you can stay up to date on our website. This is Bbc News these are the latest headlines in the uk and Around The World.
