Germany is to step up security across airports,

railway stations and other public places after three violent attacks

in the south of the country in the space of a week,

all of which have targeted innocent bystanders.

According to the police, the Syrian man who blew himself up

yesterday outside a music festival in Ansbach, injuring 15 people, had

left a video pledging his allegiance to so-called Islamic State.

The three attacks appear unrelated but they've led to further questions

in Germany over its open-door policy for refugees.

Our correspondent Chris Buckler is in Ansbach.

His report contains some flash photography.

In a courtyard of one of Bavaria's most picturesque towns is the chalk

He tried to enter this square, which was packed with people

When he was stopped by security, he detonated the bomb

to go away, saying, "My sister is still in there.

I think I heard that there were six or seven people on the floor

The explosion caused panic in a country already on edge.

The last week in Germany has seen a mass shooting in Munich,

a machete attack and a teenage asylum seeker injure five people

And this bombing, like that last attack, has been linked

to the so-called Islamic State terror group.

TRANSLATION: On the bomber's mobile phone, there's a video of him

issuing an attack in Arabic, for which we have now received

According to this, he pledges in the name of Allah his allegiance

to the well-known IS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi,

and expressly announces an act of revenge against the Germans.

He was staying in temporary accommodation.

Detectives found more bomb-making material in his room.

He had recently been told he was being deported to Bulgaria,

People who lived alongside him at this old hotel said he had mental

health problems and that he tried to kill himself before.

He always said that, you know, "I'm not with them,

I think it is good that Germany does this, to take these guys

into our country and give them a safer life.

But if more things happen like this one, here, then,

sorry that I am saying this but it needs to stop now.

In Ansbach, there is sympathy and help for asylum seekers,

but even among those who have fled countries like Syria,

TRANSLATION: In the future, you will have to be careful

when you welcome everybody because some are messed up

As police searched through the debris of the bombing,

detectives will continue to look for the reason he killed himself

There must be a real sense of tension there in the town.

Naturally, people are fearful. That is because of the series of attacks

we have seen in the last seven days. But as you can probably hear, people

on the streets of Ansbach tonight, out at some of the bars that were

behind the police called in today. They are determined to show that

this will not change their way of life but of course, there will be an

impact. The German and Bavarian authorities have orgies spoken about

extra police on the streets and extra security at airports. But

their greatest concern will be about the suggestions, the claims of a

link between the man responsible for the suicide bombing here and IS. Of

course, that has not been proven. Certainly, there are other issues.

But that also raises another question for Germany. It is worth

pointing out that the attacker here and the teenager who was involved in

the shooting in Munich on Friday both had mental health problems. Yet

somehow, they got access to deadly weapons and were able to bring onto

the street. That is a real concern for Germany. Chris Buckler in

Ansbach, thank you. The "unacceptable face

of capitalism" - that's the scathing verdict of a parliamentary report

into the collapse of BHS. MPs said the role of the former boss

Sir Philip Green was a major factor in the demise of what was once

a high street giant and called on him to pay back some

or all of the company's ?571 million Sir Philip Green has hit back,

saying the report is not a fair Here's our business

editor Simon Jack. After countless hours of evidence

and thousands of documents reviewed, the story of BHS showed the

unacceptable face of capitalism, a parliamentary report described a

country run as a -- company run as a personal fiefdom by one owner after

collapsing under his incompetent and self-serving successor. The co-chair

of the report committee said one person alone is really responsible

for the BHS disaster. And that person is Sir Philip green. He comes

in for savage criticism for extracting hundreds of millions of

pounds to fund a lavish lifestyle, unrestrained by any independent

oversight. The Napoleon of this that directed all the operations was

Philip green. Although he pointed the finger at everybody else, all

the fingers really point to him. BHS was sold for just ?1 last year and

the details were settled on this handwritten note, a deal that helped

seal the fate of up to 10,000 workers. Like staff in South

Shields, putting a brave face on their last day. I feel like I have

been a loyal employee for 11 years because he owned the company when I

took it on and I've given my best, given everything to British home

stores and I feel like he just does not care about any of us. He just

sits with that smug look on his face. He does not care about us.

He's made me very angry. Emotions are high at the minute, a lot of

different emotions. We are hoping he gets his comeuppance. That he will

get what is coming to him. As stores begin closing down across the UK,

Sir Philip Rooney 's many miles away in the Mediterranean. When I asked

him when he was coming back, he joked, hopefully never but he knows

he's got unfinished business here, particularly with the pensions

regulator. How he chooses to deal with that may tell us about how much

he likes being called Sir Philip green. Do you might not looking at

me like that all the time? It's really disturbing. The government

has confirmed his knighthood is under review in the decision-making

job whether he delivers on a promise to tackle a ?500 million hole in the

pension fund. It is resolvable, can be sorted, we will sort it, we will

find a solution and I can give an assurance to the 20,000 pensioners

that I'm there to sort this. Others were also condemned. Dominic

Chappell, who brought the Company from Sir Philip green, was described

as manifestly unsuitable and out of his depth. Some of the biggest names

in financial services were also criticised for their role. But it

was Sir Philip green was the unwitting star of the show and a

night, he issued a statement calling the report the predetermined and

inaccurate output of a biased and unfair process. He said he was still

working on a pension deal and added, "I'm sad and sorry for all the BHS

people caught up in this horrid story but I don't believe that this

story is being in any way fairly portrayed". It is too early to know

whether that proves enough to save his reputation and possibly his

knighthood. Simon, thousands of BHS employs who

stand to risk losing some all of their pensions and meanwhile, Sir

Philip green is writing a threatening legal letter. What is

likely to happen next? In the last few arms, a war of words has erupted

with Sir Philip green threatening to sue one of the report's co-authors,

Frank Field, for comparing him in a broadcast of the late Robert

Maxwell, who, if you remember, removed money from the pension funds

of the Mirror group, something he's not accused of doing in this report

and also suggesting illegality in the manner in which Philip green

took money out of BHS. Again, that is something the report does not

acknowledge. Frank Fields says he has no intention of apologising. So

those two are on a legal collision course again, and I say that because

Frank Field called for Sir Philip green to be stripped of his

knighthood before the evidence had even been given which is one of the

reasons why Sir Philip green says this was the product of a biased

process. Those two are on a collision course again and that is

no comfort to 10,000 workers and 20,000 pensioners who are facing big

cuts to their pension income as things stand. He says that he is

talking to the pension regulator so we may found out -- find out exactly

how much Sir Philip Green thinks his knighthood is worth.

With 11 days to go until the Olympic Games in Rio,

individual sports associations are under pressure to decide

whether or not Russian athletes can take part,

following a decision yesterday not to impose a blanket ban over doping.

So far, the Russian tennis and archery teams have been

told they can compete, as have Russian swimmers,

although swimming's governing body has declared seven ineligible.

That's because they've been found to have doped in the past.

Russian athletes have now begun arriving in Rio unclear

about whether they'll be allowed to compete or not,

atmosphere here. Thanks very much. It's a mystery that has perplexed

parents since time immemorial - why do teenagers behave

the way they do? Now scientists at Cambridge

University have gained some insight into the huge personality

and behavioural changes teenagers undergo, using brain scanning

techniques and genetics. And they are also gaining clues

about why some develop mental illnesses in late teens

and early adulthood. Here's our science

correspondent Pallab Ghosh. It changes so much as we grow,

shaping how we think and feel, most Ruby Burbage is 22 now,

but like many of us, felt powerful feelings

during her adolescence. When I was younger,

I was just horrible, just mean and shouting,

and as I developed into an adult and came out of the adolescent

stage, I had more and would take time

in thinking about about That was lost during

the time I was adolescent. To understand these changes,

scientists scanned the brains of 300 healthy volunteers between the ages

of 14 and 24. They were looking at the network

of nerve centres that direct messages from one part

of the brain to another. You can think of this

like the global airline network. That's made up of small,

infrequently used airports and huge hubs like Heathrow,

where there is very high traffic. The brain uses a similar

setup to coordinate They found that during adolescence,

the bigger hubs, used for complex thought,

get consolidated and strengthened, a bit like how Heathrow or JFK have

expanded over the years. These are the nodes

in the brain network. The real prize for the team

in Cambridge is to understand Some, like schizophrenia,

where patients have hallucinations, The researchers have shown

that the genes involved in rewiring the brain

during the teenage years are also involved in many

mental health disorders. As we understand more

about what puts people at risk from schizophrenia,

that gives us an opportunity to try and identify individuals

that are at risk of becoming schizophrenic in the foreseeable

future, over the next two or three years, and perhaps offering some

treatment then that could be helpful in preventing the onset

of clinical symptoms. Alice has lived with a condition

similar to schizophrenia She's a photographer

and teaches art at university. But she still has occasional

delusional episodes. To describe it, it's like being

awake while you're in a nightmare. I would ride a bus and it would seem

as if everyone on the bus was talking directly to me

and saying nasty things about me. And that was quite

frightening to experience. The research shows just how fragile

the developing brain is, at its most vulnerable

during the crucial teenage years. The new England football manager

Sam Allardyce has described the job as the "greatest challenge"

of his career. Speaking for the first time

since being appointed, he said he wanted to create

a feel-good factor in his squad, but wouldn't be drawn

on whether Wayne Rooney You've not seen this one before,

have you? Eh? Sadly for England fans,

what they have seen before is plenty of managers

come and go in recent years - the latest to try his hand,

Sam Allardyce, and confident he can succeed where

so many others have failed. To sit here, obviously,

is a huge thrill for me. I think that...

I think I fit the chair. I think I've got the

experience to pass on, and not only challenge the England

team, but challenge myself. And I think I'm tough enough

to take it. Allardyce made his name

turning round the fortunes of Bolton Wanderers,

getting the best out of players and narrowly missing out

on the England job in 2006. He then managed Newcastle,

Blackburn, West Ham and Sunderland - but having never won anything,

can he do so now with England? Will it require some

adjustment on your part? When it comes to winning no trophies

or winning no cups, well, unfortunately, me, as an English

manager, never really got the chance to go right to the very top

of the Premier League. You look at what I've achieved

over the years, like I said, you save a club,

you've not been relegated - they're big achievements,

they're difficult to do. Sam Allardyce finally has the job

that he's always coveted. But his task now

is to revive England and to confound those who say

that this is sport's impossible job. Having been knocked out of the Euros

by minnows Iceland, breathing new life

into England won't be easy, but one of those responsible

for choosing Allardyce is convinced that Big Sam

is the right man. Sam's track record at all

the clubs he's been at, I think it's difficult to argue

that he hasn't made each one of those teams better,

so we're very confident he'll come and do the same

for England seniors. Allardyce refused to say

whether Wayne Rooney would continue as his country's

captain, that's for the future, but with less than six weeks until

an opening World Cup qualifier, into a team the nation can be

proud of begins here and now. This is the good part

of the job, you know! England's cricketers have

won their second test against Pakistan at Old Trafford

by 330 runs. Pakistan, set a mammoth 565 to win,

were bowled out for 234 in their second innings with more

than a day left in the match. It levels the four-match

series at 1-1. Back to the Olympics now,

and there's less than a fortnight to go before the games get under

way in Rio. Team GB will be chasing a target

of at least 48 medals. One of those British medal hopefuls

is Dina Asher-Smith. She was a volunteer at the last

Olympics in London, but is now the fastest British

female sprinter ever. In the first of our series looking

at the British "ones to watch", our Sports Correspondent Natalie Pirks

has been to meet her. If slow and steady

wins the race, Dina Asher-Smith

didn't get the memo. it's a new British record

for Dina Asher-Smith! She is very, very happy,

and so she should be. Not content with becoming

the fastest British woman in history, she's just been crowned

European champion and earlier this month won

the national championships to cement her place in Team GB

for her first Olympics, the 20-year-old's trademark beaming

smile giving way to sheer relief. you tweeted,

"I'm going to be an Olympian." Has that sunk in yet?

Not at all! Not at all, I mean, it's been

such a lifelong dream, and something that I've

wanted for so long. I don't think it's

going to sink in till probably I remember watching the 2004

Olympics, I remember watching Kelly Holmes going and doing

what we thought was impossible, and then to see the relay boys

win Olympic gold, as a sprinter as well, that was just

absolutely amazing to watch. So I've always, from that moment,

decided I wanted to be an Olympian. And you drew a picture

for your mum, didn't you? In primary school, we had to draw

what we wanted to be, and I remember this was just

after the Athens Olympics, so there was lots of Olympian

pictures, but it was just like,

"I want to be an Olympian," it was me on the podium,

with that little headdress. 12 years later, she's studying

history at university, but she's not exactly living

a normal student life. Most of the sacrifice has come

around my social life. My goals and aims, they're not

really helped by going out, partying, staying out really,

really late, eating bad food. That's just not how I'm going to get

to where I want to be. Most people at university your age

would not be as focused as you are. I mean, some people are lucky enough

when things drop into their lap, "You can't take the chance

and see if that is you, you might as well work hard

and then make sure that it is." As a kit carrier at London 2012,

Dina had front-row seats for Jessica Ennis-Hill's

heptathlon gold. It helped fuel the fire

of her Olympic ambition. Just watching from the alcove just

outside lane eight, it was so close, and being in the stadium

when everybody is that happy and that proud of an individual

athlete was absolutely incredible. What's your realistic

expectation of Rio? For me, focusing on running as fast

as I can in the moment that counts I don't know how far

that's going to get me. That might be, I don't know,

it might be a final place, But as long as I've gone

out there and genuinely done the best I can,

and fingers crossed, touch wood, run faster than I've ever run

before, it would be good, yeah. Dina Asher-Smith, on her hopes

for the Rio Olympics. Newsnight's about to begin over
