The teenager who killed nine people in Munich was - say police -

:00:00.:00:08.

But there are no signs the 18-year-old - reported

to be David Sonboly - had any links with

Shock and grief for those who knew the victims - seven

Transport chaos on the road to Dover - with delays of at least 12 hours -

Jeremy Corbyn insists there's no place for intimidation

within Labour, as more than 40 female MPs say he's failed

:00:47.:00:48.

And Britain's Chris Froome is poised to secure a historic third

:00:49.:00:54.

Police say the teenager who killed nine people in Munich yesterday

:00:55.:01:19.

He's been named locally as 18-year-old David Sonboly,

:01:20.:01:24.

a German-Iranian student who had psychiatric problems.

:01:25.:01:26.

A search of his home found literature about mass killings.

:01:27.:01:29.

Officials say there is no evidence to link him to extremist groups such

:01:30.:01:32.

Sonboly was armed with a 9mm pistol and later shot himself.

:01:33.:01:41.

Live now to Munich and our chief correspondent, Gavin Hewitt.

:01:42.:01:46.

It was the third attack on civilians in Europe in eight days, a gunman,

:01:47.:01:53.

killing nine people at random, in a Munich shopping centre. It has left

:01:54.:01:59.

the country wondering where was safe, said Angela Merkel. The gunman

:02:00.:02:08.

was caught on camera opening fire. He's been named as David Sonboly, a

:02:09.:02:14.

German of Iranian descent. He was an 18-year-old student. According to

:02:15.:02:19.

police, he was obsessed with mass killings, including those carried

:02:20.:02:23.

out five years ago in Norway by Anders Breivik. Csomor lived near

:02:24.:02:29.

Munich -- Somboly lived near Munich. He had a history of depression. He

:02:30.:02:33.

was out of work, but delivered free newspapers. The police say there are

:02:34.:02:37.

no indications so far that yesterday's killings were motivated

:02:38.:02:40.

by politics. TRANSLATION: All the indications are

:02:41.:02:45.

that he was acting on his own, a sole perpetrator. We believe there

:02:46.:02:49.

are no links to immigrants or immigration. After a recent attack

:02:50.:02:53.

here in Germany and elsewhere in Europe, the federal government has

:02:54.:02:56.

been keen to establish motive to reach that point where it can say

:02:57.:03:01.

with confidence that the gunman had no links with Islamist or other

:03:02.:03:07.

militant groups. One of those who witnessed the shooting said, the

:03:08.:03:11.

gunman seemed to lack any training. TRANSLATION: He didn't appear a

:03:12.:03:15.

normal person. I thought he might have taken drugs or been drunk. I

:03:16.:03:19.

felt he was a complete amateur. He was definitely not a professional.

:03:20.:03:23.

Police are investigating whether the gunman tried to lure young people to

:03:24.:03:28.

McDonald's, by offering them free food on a Facebook page. Seven of

:03:29.:03:33.

the victims were teenagers. The government said the horror had been

:03:34.:03:36.

made much more difficult because there had been such terrible news

:03:37.:03:40.

from elsewhere in Europe in recent days.

:03:41.:03:44.

TRANSLATION: We are in dope and profound mourning -- deep and

:03:45.:03:48.

profound morning for those who will never return to their families. The

:03:49.:03:54.

families, siblings, friends to whom everything will be void and empty

:03:55.:03:57.

today. On the streets of Munich today, there was a sense of

:03:58.:04:02.

insecurity. I've waited for attack like that in Germany, but I didn't

:04:03.:04:05.

expect that it would happen in Munich. Just around the corner Yes.

:04:06.:04:14.

Johan went on to ask - what's next? Are we going to die? What's going to

:04:15.:04:19.

happen to my kids? The German Chancellor described the attack as a

:04:20.:04:22.

night of horror. Over 2,000 police deployed. A city's transport system

:04:23.:04:25.

shot down and nine lives lost. The victims of yesterday's attack

:04:26.:04:29.

were predominantly young Three of the nine were Turkish,

:04:30.:04:31.

three were Kosovan, Chris Buckler's report now

:04:32.:04:37.

on the victims contains some In Munich, many feel this shooting

:04:38.:04:41.

was an attack on a generation. The majority of those

:04:42.:04:51.

being mourned were teenagers, It's really sad that people can

:04:52.:04:54.

do that other people, and you have to be really lost to do

:04:55.:05:02.

something like that. There are people in

:05:03.:05:12.

clear need of support. Everything they know about this

:05:13.:05:15.

shooting seems as senseless today TRANSLATION: He started shooting

:05:16.:05:18.

like this and then like this. He shot one person in the back

:05:19.:05:25.

of the head and he fell down. You can still see the

:05:26.:05:30.

blood on the ground. Today, friends of the teenager

:05:31.:05:37.

killed at that spot placed photographs of him there,

:05:38.:05:41.

determined to ensure that he would be remembered in the place

:05:42.:05:44.

where they used to meet. Huseyin was passing

:05:45.:05:49.

by when the shots were fired, TRANSLATION: I was shocked,

:05:50.:05:52.

I was scared and I threw my bike to the side, and then I lay down

:05:53.:05:59.

here, right next to him. And then he looked me in the eyes,

:06:00.:06:03.

took one deep breath and died. I'll never be able to

:06:04.:06:12.

forget what happened. The shooting has left a lasting

:06:13.:06:21.

impact on this city. Today, on what should have

:06:22.:06:25.

been a busy Saturday, the main shopping centre was cleared

:06:26.:06:28.

of the bags and even prams abandoned But there are families

:06:29.:06:36.

who haven't escaped the hurt caused by this tragedy,

:06:37.:06:41.

not least because of what appears to be a deliberate

:06:42.:06:45.

targeting of young people. This man says one of those

:06:46.:06:48.

who died was a daughter of his work colleague,

:06:49.:06:50.

and his son's friend Detectives are still struggling

:06:51.:06:53.

to try to understand why these murders were committed,

:06:54.:07:00.

but those questions of motivation are dwarfed here in Munich

:07:01.:07:03.

by simple, raw emotion. And coupled with the grief

:07:04.:07:06.

is a sense of vulnerability, Chris Buckler, BBC News,

there's even more traffic and congestion coming

dominance, it felt like victory was already his. But nothing could be

:13:12.:13:15.

taken for granted in the Alps, especially in these conditions. The

:13:16.:13:19.

teeming rain meant there was danger with every descent. Froome started

:13:20.:13:23.

the day with a four minute cushion on his nearest rival. A huge margin,

:13:24.:13:28.

particularly given the strength of the Sky team task to protect him. In

:13:29.:13:32.

such experienced company, Britain's Adam Yates has held his own. He's in

:13:33.:13:36.

possession of the white jersey for the best young rider. Soon only the

:13:37.:13:41.

terrifying roller coaster stood between the riders and the finish.

:13:42.:13:46.

After yesterday's fall, Froome must have had nerves at every turn. Now

:13:47.:13:50.

finally he can relaxment the British ride -- relax. The British rider set

:13:51.:13:55.

to join an elite group when crowned champion for a third time.

:13:56.:13:59.

It's been an eventful three weeks for Chris Froome. Despite crashing

:14:05.:14:09.

the tour, he arrives in Paris for the traditional procession into the

:14:14.:14:16.

the most dominant rider of his generation.

England batsman Joe Root produced his highest ever Test score

:14:19.:14:20.

on day two of the second Test against Pakistan, to leave the hosts

:14:21.:14:23.

He scored 254 runs, as England declared on 589-8,

:14:24.:14:28.

before Pakistan slumped to 57-4 at the close of play.

:14:29.:14:35.

The Test of a batsman is how you recover from the previous day's

:14:36.:14:45.

triumph and refocus. Joe Root walked to the crease with 141 already to

:14:46.:14:50.

his name. Though the pressure to score was initially lifted by Chris

:14:51.:14:55.

woks, a man -- Chris Woakes, a man batting even better than he

:14:56.:14:59.

expected. Root manoeuvred his way to 200, an innings to be enjoyed. Root

:15:00.:15:06.

knows no other way. Woakes, then Stokes departed. While England had

:15:07.:15:09.

Root they had runs. How many did the captain think they'd need? Root

:15:10.:15:13.

eventually went. The decision came, when on 58, Jonny Bairstow, went for

:15:14.:15:19.

his final heave. Enough called Alastair Cook, let's see Pakistan

:15:20.:15:24.

bat. Going from standing in the field to intense concentration is

:15:25.:15:27.

tough, especially when Woakes is approaching. A man in the form of

:15:28.:15:30.

his life, too much for the Pakistani top order. A pitch that had been so

:15:31.:15:36.

benign to the batsman reared up at Woakes' command. For England, days

:15:37.:15:39.

of Test cricket hardly come much better than this.

A number of Britain's top track and field athletes have been

There was a new world record for one of Britain's
