Forensic teams and officers have continued their investigations throughout the day. The force is itself being investigated by the iopc, the Police Watchdog, which is looking into how much was known about the killers Mental Health and into the circumstances around his firearms licence.

The five victims will be remembered with a service on wednesday led by the bishop of plymouth and a minutes� s silence at 11 oclock on a Monday Morning as people here try to come to terms with the violence that has shattered their normally peaceful neighbourhood. And luxmyjoins us now live from keyham. First we understand the Home Secretary has paid her respects to the victims of this attack. What has she been saying . That is riuht.

That is right. A little while ago, the what has she been saying . That is right. A little while ago, the Home Secretary arrived here on a private visit and came to lay flowers at the scene of the Mass Shooting not far from here, at the park beyond those houses there. It was the scene of the vigil Last Night. She was joined by the Chief Constable of devon and Cornwall Police who also played a floral Tribute Stop she also spoke to members of the local neighbourhood watch team. What she did not do is answer questions from a Bbc Colleague about Gun Control and she was also joined by the local Labour Leader luke ballard, who said local people who want and need answers to questions about the possession of the shotgun. Answers to questions about the possession of the shotgun. Youve been speaking to people in this community left shaken by this attack what have they been saying to you . That is right. This is the kind of community where everyone knows everyone. Even for those who didnt know the victims or victims of� families, the Shock And Grief is still so raw. People we spoke to this morning broke down in tears talking to us and people have continued coming along to place tributes down and even those who didnt, they came along and on some occasions stop to silently pay their respects and observe the tributes that have been placed. Remembering the victims will also be happening in a more formal way with flags flying at Half Mast in official buildings around plymouth and memorials continue to take place, including a minutes� s silence on Monday Morning to remember them. Including a minutes� s silence on Monday Morning to remember them. Well, the Labour Leader, Sir Keir Starmer, has said its important to urgently find out how the plymouth gunman was allowed a firearms licence. Speaking in the past few hours, he also said more needs to be done to tackle and prevent Incel Culture on the internet. Were seeing further evidence of an extreme misogynist ideology, which is riddled with hatred and in some Cases Incitement to violence. Wherever there is incitement to violence, that has got to be taken seriously. I do think that the Terrorist Laws in terms of prosecuting those that have been arrested need to be changed. We have got strong powers. We can bring successful terrorist prosecutions, i have been involved in many of them myself when i was director of public prosecutions. I do not think. Where i would look in this case is the online element of this and the online Harms Bill has been promised for a very long time. Now, in a tragic situation like plymouth, i dont want to get too party political about this but i do urge the government to bring forward the online Harms Bill because the Prosecution Side that i do think is adequately covered, the Preventative Side not so much. Let us Sir Keir Starmer speaking a short time ago. Let us Sir Keir Starmer speaking a short time ago. That was Sir Keir Starmer. As part of their investigation police are looking at jake davison� s Social Media accounts where he posted a series of Hate Filled Rants about women, and made references to � incels in Social Media videos. Incel stands for involuntary Celibate Which is known for its Misogyny And Hostility to women. Lets discuss this in more detail with Matt Dryden an independent analyst on Radicalisation And Terrorism he previously worked as an officer for the governments prevent programme. Thank you forjoining us here. I dont know if you heard what Sir Keir Starmer had to say there. Do you agree with him .

The incel communities dominantly active online and that is its main domain.

If you look at the definition, if youre talking about violence or the threat of violence for political or ideological or religious purposes, certainly the vast majority of us working within this field fully acknowledge incel as an ideology.

I think the i authorities these days do take it seriously. I think incel and the ideology in general is absolutely taken seriously and is on the radar of the authorities. Whether you look at individuals referred to prevent, for example, who might have an element of their ideology related to misogyny or Incel Culture, whether it is people who discuss Perpetrating Act Of Violence and have an element of Misogynistic Antifeminist hate within it. The Issueis Antifeminist hate within it. The issue is that other forms of extremism such as islamist extremism and far right extremism, we have a wealth of experience of dealing with those, and identifying them and responding to them, whereas incel ideology, the violent misogyny that underpins most of it, is much newer to us, certainly in.

The government is aware of it and it is on their radar, and the government needs, as well as society as a whole, to better understand what this ideology is and what it looks like, because the more people we can have referred to prevent for signs of incel ideology, we can support and prevent acts of violence further down the line, which is really important. For further down the line, which is really important. Further down the line, which is really important. For many people, like ou really important. For many people, like you said. Really important.

Is it a particular. You said it was the Alpha Male and men who are struggling to have relationships with women, how do you begin to sort that out . Because a woman would say, well, that is not my problem. This must be sorted out with the men. Yes, absolutely, and much of this comes back to where this ideology originates. So does this originate from intergenerational perceptions of women . Is it normalised online . And we must really be clear that the kind of violent Misogynistic Antifeminist hate in society is incredibly dangerous and we need to fight this ideology in a similar way we do with muslim extremism or far right extremism. We do with muslim extremism or far right extremism. Thank you very much for that. The headlines on bbc news. Labour says there are questions for devon and Cornwall Police about why it chose to return a Shotgun Licence to the man who killed five people in plymouth. Afghanistans president says his Top Priority is boosting the armed forces, in his first national address since the taliban stepped up their offensive. Flash flooding in turkey kills at least 31 people as Southern Europe records one of the hottest summers ever. The taliban are now in control of most of the Northern Region of afghanistan and almost half of the countrys regional capitals, as their Swift Takeover Of Territory continues. The capital of logar province, puli alam, fell to militants this morning. It is just a0 miles south of the capital kabul. Heavy fighting also continues in the city of mazar i sharif. It comes as british troops have been flown out in order to safely airlift british citizens from the country. Our diplomatic correspondent Caroline Hawley reports. The taliban hoist their flag on the gates of kandahar, afghanistans second largest city. The speed of their advance has left the afghan government reeling and millions of afghan people in terror and dread. As the militants now close in on the capital, kabul, the beleaguered president Ashraf Ghani gave a televised address. Translation in the current| situation, the remobilisation of our Security And Defence forces is our Top Priority and serious steps are being taken in this regard. But in many areas, it is too late. The man on the right, one of the most prominent local commanders fighting for the government, nicknamed because of his fearsome reputation the lion of herat. But he and his city, afghanistans third largest, are now firmly in taliban hands. The humanitarian crisis is growing by the day. Tens of thousands of people have bought into kabul to escape the fighting. Now people who can afford to leave are scrambling to get out. Im afraid of being killed. Like, i am totally sure that i am not going to survive here. The uk Lost A54 lives in afghanistan before pulling out a few weeks ago at the end of an almost 20 year mission. But this weekend, 600 troops will fly back into the country to take british nationals out. The americans are doing the same, leaving many afghans are feeling abandoned by the world. Caroline hawley, bbc news. Secunder kermani is in afghanistan and was listening to the president s address. Well, everyone was waiting to hear what the president would say. It is the first time he has addressed the nation after this really unprecedented advance by the taliban. Everyone has been left pretty much astonished by the pace and the scale of the militant� s push across the country, taking out around half of all the provincial capitals here. President ghani, in a short pre recorded message today, said it was his priority to re mobilise the Security Forces and prevent further instability. There had been speculation yesterday, even this morning, that perhaps he would announce his resignation. That certainly doesnt seem to be the case. But what is also missing for the moment at least from the public debate is any kind of real indication of what president Ashraf Ghani and his team can do to reverse the situation. The more and more people look at the way things are developing here in afghanistan, the Governments Position is seeming to be increasingly untenable. The taliban taking control of another city just a short distance away from kabul earlier today. Many fear it is only a matter of time before they eventually push in on kabul, though for the moment my sources tell me that the taliban want to wait, they want to see if kabul can be handed over peacefully to them, a surrender of sorts. We have seen that actually happen in number of other provincial capitals where Security Forces have been approached by influential tribal elders, Community Leaders who have said, look, the game is basically over. Spare the civilian population from becoming caught in the middle of protracted fighting and retreat. The taliban seems to want that to happen, but President Ghani and his team are digging in and so there is real uncertainty here in the capital about what the future is going to bring. To turkey now, and just as crews battled to bring wildfires under control, devastating floods have swept through northern parts of the country. Reports say a0 people have died, and President Erdogan has declared a Disaster Zone in Flood Hit regions. Tanya dendrinos reports. Vehicles tossed in the torrent. This terrifying Eyewitness Footage captured the scene in northern turkey just days ago. Roads turned to rivers and buildings simply crumbled. And this is the aftermath, a mangled heap of mud, debris and belongings. Translation i went out and all of a sudden i floodwaters gushed behind me. I couldnt look back, it swallowed homes, people, everything. President erdogan visited here on friday declaring Flood Hit regions along the black Sea Coast Disaster areas. Translation we cannot bring back people who lost their lives but our state has the power, Opportunity And Determination to compensate for any loss other than that. A mammoth Search And Rescue operation is now under way, more than 1700 people have been evacuated and hundreds of villagers have been left without power. Turkeys Interior Ministry labelling the situation as the worst Flood Disaster he has ever seen.

The new head of the nhs in england says she fears Tens Of Thousands of people are are risking their lives because theyre unable to spot the first warning signs of cancer. Research also suggests three in five people would delay seeking medical advice because they dont want to be a Burden during the pandemic. 0ur Health Correspondent Anna Collinson reports. Cancer services are back to pre pandemic levels and are busy, but Nhs England says over the past year there has been a 10 drop in Cancer Patients receiving treatment. We know that people are out there and we are worried they may have symptoms and not be coming forward, so the purpose of this campaign is to highlight those symptoms, to make sure people are aware of what is normal and whats not normal for them, and to come forward if they need help. Just, youve said it too. Health officials are particularly concerned about abdominal, neurological and lung cancers, as this new advert shows, symptoms can include discomfort in the stomach, blood and urine, persistent diarrhoea or a cough that lasts longer than three weeks. It was a gp who first detected declan� s Kidney Cancer eight years ago. He is now a patient at this Urology Clinic at Guys Hospital in london, and is mostly able to live a normal life. If there is something bothering you, it may not be something serious but it is absolutely worth getting it checked out, you know . And i know that you can go to your gp. I think some people think that these things arent happening now, but they are. The earlier cancers are detected, the more likely it is that we can treat them effectively. If a patient spots a possible symptom, the nhs as it is says it is ready to help. Anna collinson, bbc news. Andy thompson was diagnosed with stage two bowel cancel in december last year.

Every year, thousands of tourists visit the coastline of yorkshire to see the colonies of seals that live there, but a surge in Visitor Numbers could be putting them under threat. Conservationists say people are getting too close to the animals and causing distress. Heres our environment correspondent, paul murphy. Yorkshires Seal Population is one of the wonders of the East Coast but it is under threat. The biggest impact is coming from human disturbance. Selfies on the shoreline or perhaps just dogs that are brought too close. Predominantly what is happening to the seals is they will have a Fight Or Flight response, they will perceive the human as a threat and try to escape that threat. We have seen a massive prevalence of humans try to seek out those encounters so rather than being anecdotal, there are people actively out walking to pursue them. This is what can happen, it is known as a seals stampede, they injure themselves as they try to safely cross the rocky shore line. Even from a distance they can find humans intimidating. You dont realise youre quite far from them for them to be like that, yeah. I didnt think they would be that sensitive to us being 200 metres from them. The surge of visitors to this coast has meant extra policing has been put in place to safeguard birds, whales and dolphins from irresponsible water users, but conservationists have now launched an online petition to get specific legal protection for the seal colonies. So where you have whales, dolphins and porpoises, seals are separate from that. So whilst the former are protected from harassment and reckless disturbance, seals are not so we are trying to change the law here in the uk, or particularly england and wales. Government funded Awareness Campaigns are trying to get the message across but the stark reality is that if the disturbances continue, experts believe the Seal Population could actually start to decline.
