Day, and beFore you know it, three weeks later, i am in the final, and i cannot actually believe it. Good Evening And Welcome to Bbc News. We start with a warning from the head of m15, who says there is no doubt that recent events in afghanistan, and the rise of the taliban, are likely to have emboldened so called Lone Wolf terrorists. Ken mccallum told Bbc News that 31 late Stage Attack plots have been foiled in the uk in the last four years. The taliban has promised that afghanistan would never again be a base For terrorists after taking over the country last month. The M15 Warning comes on the eve of the 20th Anniversary of the 9 11 attacks. Well have more that in a moment, but first heres our Security Correspondent Gordon Corera on Ken Mccallums comments. For 20 years, Surveillance And Security have become ever more entwined in our lives a sign of a threat that has not gone away, as the head of m15 told the bbc today. We do face a consistent global struggle to defeat extremism and to guard against terrorism. This is a real problem and in the last four years, For example, working with the police, my organisation has disrupted 31 late Stage Attack plots in great britain. A new counterterrorism Operations Centre was launched this summer by m15 and the police, but the threats have also been changing. Since 9 11, we have had a continued evolving huge challenge with islamist extremist terrorism. We have the rise of extreme right Wing Terrorism and we have definitely a resurgence of sharp and complex state threats. The only major national Security Threat which has been comparatively better across those 20 years is northern ireland. The Uks Terror Threat level has fluctuated, spiking up around 2006 when alqaeda plots were coming out of pakistan. And then again around a decade later, linked to isis in iran and syria. But the hope was that it might now decline. M15 has been trying to focus on wider issues like espionage and Foreign interference, but the landscape has just changed once again, drawing it back to worrying more about jihadist terrorism. The concern is that the taliban takeover in afghanistan may both inspire extremists here and perhaps create a Safe Haven there For groups to plan more sophisticated attacks. There is no doubt that recent events in afghanistan will have heartened and emboldened some of those extremists. So, even if the taliban is absolutely in good faith about wanting to prevent terrorism being exported from afghanistan, that will be a difficult task to accomplish. M15 may have expanded and we all may live with more Surveillance And Security, but asked if we were safer now than 20 years ago, the head of m15 said there was no simple answer. Gordon corera, Bbc News. In the past hour, i spoke to Security And Counter terrorism expert, Will Geddes in central london. I asked him how intelligence services have changed their operations in the wake of 9 11. In the wake of 9 11, it was a horrific Wake Up Call For all the Intelligence Agencies who had been dealing with terrorism on a much more microcosm level. I mean, For example, here in the united kingdom, focus was primarily on, For example, provisional ira. Since that time, obviously, and particularly on 9 11, it was a Wake Up Call to the very extravagant and big scale attacks that these groups would potentially plan and execute. And we saw that ourselves in 2005, obviously, on 7 7, where a number of different targets where attacked simultaneously. Of different targets were attacked simultaneously. Why havent the Intelligence Agencies seen something like 9 11 coming . I mean, not necessarily the actual act of using planes, but something on that scale. Well, especially in the united states, although they have excellent intelligence capabilities, you know, the measures and the steps that were taken by alqaeda to plan and finance this operation were intrinsically very, very complex. And the way that they left it a sufficient amount of time, it wasnt a spontaneous attack like many of the attacks we have seen in recent years. This was planned over a significant period of time. Now, those kind of operations have now been able to be diffused and to be intercepted because, if there is a large, long planning cycle, it makes it far easier For the Intelligence Agencies to potentially pick up at some stage. As the head of m15 was saying, they were able to stop and worked as the head of m15 was saying, they were able to stop and thwart 31 odd planned attacks at a later stage. But when they are spontaneous, they are incredibly difficult to stop. How much better equipped are the Intelligence Agencies now, then . Bearing in mind that the nature of terrorism can change, can transForm itself very quickly. Sometimes you are dealing with large networks, sometimes you are dealing with people who are acting alone. Yes, exactly. And as we have seen, particularly with the islamic state, you know, they, as alqaeda beFore, looked at incentivising individuals or lone wolves to carry out these attacks. But we have to Contextually Look at the advancements in technology since 9 11, and when one imagines that, or certainly takes into consideration that iphones only came out in, i believe, 2007, now we look at the sort of Smartphone Devices that we have in our pockets right now, technology has advanced on many, many different platForms, which can then be advantaged not only by the terrorist but especially by groups like gchq and the nsa in intercepting and identifying particular groups or Chatter Or Propaganda that could be pushed out. We will find out how the story is covered in tomorrows front pages. In tomorrows front pages at 10 30 and 11 30 this evening in the papers. Our guests joining me tonight are jessica elgot, shes the Deputy Political Editor at the guardian, and olivia utley, the Telegraphs Assistant Comment editor. Tomorrow marks the 20th Anniversary of 9 11, the deadliest Foreign attack ever on us soil.

But nothing can capture the sense of chaos, anger, disbelief of what was unfolding. Then there was steely resolve, and americans were united, and most of the rest of the world stood with america.

Jon sopel, Bbc News, new york. 0ur Correspondent in washington, Gary 0donoghue has been telling us whats being planned in the united states. Well, therell be a series of ceremonies and commemorations across the three separate sites where the attacks took place. So in new york, as you were seeing there withjohn in shanksville, in pennsylvania, where Flight 93 was brought down by those heroic acts of those passengers on board who took the plane and took the hijackers down with them. And then just across the river from where i am, martin, at the pentagon, where184 people lost their lives when flight 77 flew straight into the West Side of the building there. So there will be lots of memories, lots of solemnity. There will be a revisiting of that anger, of that fear, of that real incredulity that was experienced on 9 11. How could this happen in america to america . And i think also a lot of contemplation about what what came in the 20 years after that, the war on terror, how successful was it . And of course, those questions are very, very real right now, given what weve seen in terms of The American withdrawal from afghanistan, the way it was done and who took over. Youre watching Bbc News. The headlines on Bbc News. The head of m15 warns that the Talibans Takeover of afghanistan may well embolden extremists. It comes on the eve of the 20th Anniversary of 9 11, as america prepares to remember almost 3,000 people who died that day. Scotland sees its highest level of Covid Infections since estimates began. The First Minister says the Nhs In Scotland is under more pressure than ever beFore. Lets stay with that story now with scotlands First Minister expressing concern about the pressure that the Health Service is under. Scotland seeing its highest level of Covid Infections since estimates began with one in 45 people having the virus last week. Nicola sturgeon said only a � foolish leader would rule out having to introduce more restrictions including extending the new vaccination passport scheme. In england, the Culture Secretary 0liver dowden has said that Vaccine Passports will � almost certainly� be required this autumn along with Booster Jabs For the elderly and vulnerable. Heres our health editor, hugh pym. A pop up Testing Site in glasgow this week. As scottish infections increase, the First Minister has told Bbc News that covid has contributed to increasing strain on hospitals. I have never known a period where the nhs has been under pressure that is as intense as it is right now. Right now . Right now. And that is ahead of winter. Vaccine passports will be required in Scotland At Night Clubs and some large events from october 1. Nicola sturgeon didnt rule out extending that. And there was a similar message from ministers in england, with proof of Vaccine Status needed at the end of this month. We will almost certainly be doing it For nightclubs. We will make a determination as to whether we need to move more broadly than that. The office For national Statistics Infection Survey suggest that 1 in 45 people in scotland had the virus last week, the highest since the survey began last autumn. In wales, there were increases as well, to1 in 65. In england, at1 in 70, and northern Ireland At1 in 60 people, there was broadly no change over the week. Four out of five of those eligible have had both of Vaccine Doses, but that still leaves work to be done For Public Health chiefs trying to persuade more people to come Forward Forjabs. After a surge, as the programme was rolled out, Vaccination Rates in england have been tailing off in most age groups, whereas among the oldest nearly 100 have had a first dose. That was closer to 60 For younger groups. It is still rising among 16 and 17 year olds, who became eligible more recently. A decision by the Vaccine Expert Committee is due very soon on Booster Jabs. There are varying views on how necessary they will be. We get good protection after a single dose, and then it is improved by second dose. We would expect to see it being maintained or possibly slightly improved, then, by a third dose. We wait to see. But getting the first dose into people is really important. Some argue priority groups should now get a third jab. I think there is a strong case For some people to be offered booster vaccines, and i think there is a case For people over 80, people who would not necessarily have responded to the initial vaccine. The nhs is ready to roll out to boosterjabs and to start vaccinating 12 15 year olds, if experts give the green light. Hugh pym, Bbc News. Earlier i spoke to Professor Paul Moss from the institute of immunology and immunotherapy at university of Birmingham And Professor danny altmann, Professor Of Immunology at Imperial College London about the data that drives the decision to administer booster vaccines. We have only had nine months of inFormation with these vaccines. It is reasonable that we try to accrue data on these vaccines. And of course it is the Immune System that provides the protection, and so there are two Forms of data we can collect studies in the laboratory, Test Tube data if you will about immune protection, but at least as important is the clinical data. How well are these vaccines continuing to protect against infection, serious Infection And Death . Hagar serious Infection And Death . How wide is the serious Infection And Death .

However, there are vulnerable, particularly those with a immune suppression. That is a big number, about 500,000 people in the uk. Perhaps severe Kidney And Liver disease, they are probably first on the last four booster vaccines. It might not be a Blanket Coverage of boosters.

If you go to africa, many countries will demand a certificate to show you have had that vaccine, whereas others, as you say, through its annual. We do not yet know where covid vaccines will sit on the spectrum, quite frankly. Also, in the uk, we have some uk specific factors that we need to study, remember, two things, we have used the Astrazeneca Vaccine a lot more than countries like america or israel. Secondly, we extended the Vaccine Interval from three weeks to 12 weeks, I Too that may prove to be very useful in strong protection. There are Uk Things that we need to study.

I think were going to see a tiered approach, we will see vaccine from immunosuppressed patients, i expect we will boosters For resident Care Home residents, older people, and perhaps those over 80. Beyond that, as we go down to more and more people, i think we need to see the evidence, that will take a little longer. We must not rush into it. Professor Paul Moss and Professor Danny Altman speaking to us a little earlier. Prince andrew has been served legal papers by representatives, Who Claims she was Forced to have six with him Mac Sex with him when she was a teenager. Details are given of how and when these papers were served. The first attempt was made on the 26th Of August at Prince Andrews residence in windsor great park.

We have successfully got 4 Million women persuaded to get more active since the campaign was launched. 0bviously the campaign was launched. Obviously the campaign was launched. Obviously the last year has been particularly challenging For All Of Us in finding new ways to get active, but weve been able to use the campaign to show different ways of getting active. I think the way we have all had to adapt over the last 18 months and find different ways of moving or getting active, living relatives, i think that has really broadened out what it means to be active to people. I think there is a much broader understanding now of how you can be active in so many different ways. So we will be looking to build on that going Forward. On that going Forward.

Well two decades after the 911 attacks led to the invasion of afghanistan, the taliban are back in power and presenting a new face to the world. Theyve promised to Forgive those who fought against them and to respect womens rights to work and education. But many afghans are still fearful of what the New Order will bring, as Secunder Kermani reports from kabul. Back in the classroom. This was amongst the first schools in kabul to reopen For girls after the fall of the taliban in 2001. They, along with female teachers, had been banned by the group. Two decades on, The School has expanded. Pupils have gone on to become doctors, engineers. Aisha misbah has worked here For the past a0 years. This time, the taliban are allowing girls to get an education but secondary schools remain shut, awaiting new rules from the group. Conditions here also give an insight into the deep flaws of the previous government. Educating generations of young afghan girls and boys has been one of the main achievements of the past 20 years. You also have to ask why a government that received billions of dollars of international Aid Couldnt even build enough classrooms For pupils in a school in the very centre of kabul. Many would blame corruption. Afghanistans new generation includes what had been one of the freest medias in the region. Now, its under threat. These two journalists were badly beaten by the taliban after reporting on a demonstration. American influence here is fading. This is bush bazaar, named after the us president.

Secunder kermani, Bbc News, kabul. The family of a 3k Year old woman who was subjected to Domestic Violence by her partner and found dead by her daughter have received a public apology from west Midlands Police. In 2013 Suzanne Van hagens body was found alongside her partners. Herfamily have fought For more than 8 years to get to the truth behind her death. Theyve been speaking exclusively to our midlands correspondent, sian lloyd. Our world just ended that day, just absolutely heartbreaking. I just thank god that weve still got her daughter. Suzanne Van Hagen was a much loved sister, daughter and mother. She died aged 34. Her body was found along with that of her partner by her nine year old daughter. Sometimes i can think that suzanne is still here but shes. You know, shes somewhere else. And i think to think like that is easier, you know, to cope with it, because we do miss her. Violence by her partner, john worton, against her, had been reported to west Midlands Police. After suzannes death, a Postmortem Examination revealed marks on her neck and traces of drugs in her system. To an accidental overdose. They saw and assumed what they wanted to. It was like when she had drugs in her system, that was it then, Everything Else was Forgotten about and suzanne wasnt like that. And that is when our fight began, really, because we were adamant. Thats not what happened, and thats it. The apology by the Chief Constable of west Midlands Police acknowledges that there were failings by the Force in its handling of Suzannes Case both beFore and after her death, and it acknowledges the additional distress this caused suzannes family. The truth finally came out that suzanne was a victim of Domestic Violence. ,. ,. ,. , suzanne was a victim of Domestic Violence. ,. ,. , ~ violence.

The Food And Drink federation has warned that the current gaps on Supermarket Shelves could become permanent. The Industry Body said serious Labour Shortages such as with Lorry Drivers were behind the problem. Downing street has rejected the claim and insisted the Uk Food Supply Chain is highly resilient. Well up to 50,000 more Hgv Driving Tests will be made available to streamline the Testing Process and tackle the driver shortage. The Transport Secretary Grant shapps said there are enough people in the workForce, but there needs to be the system to allow recruits to get the tests. I understand that one solution could be to undercut the Lorry Drivers, import people to do the driving, as is from one of the things that has kept the long Term Salary lower but that has an implication, if you dont attract enough people across society into driving lorries. 99 of Body Drivers are men, you want to get more women, we know facilities need to be better and the pay is to be better. 1. 6 million people are coming off a furlough in september, some people will be attracted perhaps by a new profession so we have the people and we need to have the system to allow people to get those tests in addition to already increased capacity by 15 , todays extra 50,000 tests should go along way to doing that. The Home Secretary Priti patel has confirmed that Dame Cressida Dick will continue to lead the metropolitan Police Service until 202a.

Helena wilkinson has more the contract was going to be extended, we knew that already from this week. We were just waiting For that confirmation, but also waiting to see whether that was something that she was going to accept. As you say, she took on the top job at the metropolitan police as commissioner, the first female to take on that role, in 2017. That was a five year contract, that was due to come to an end this coming april. But we have now had confirmation from the home secretary, priti patel, in a statement that Dame Cressida will have her contract extended. That will take her up to 2024, april 2024. The commissioner has in a statement said, relating to that extension of her contract, that she is immensely honoured and humbled to have been asked to extend her time as commissioner For the next two years and she goes on to say that in the last 4. 5 years, met teams have dealt with some extraordinary challenges, including most recently the pandemic, and delivered some fantastic results, critically, in reducing violent crime. That was her statement following confirmation she has had her contract renewed. The headlines on Bbc News.
