Australian police are investigating a trip taken to the Philippines by alleged gunmen in the month before a deadly shooting at Bondi Beach
Manila authorities tell the BBC they travelled to the country between 1 and 28 November, following reports they visited to receive "military-style training"
Sajid Akram, 50, travelled on an Indian passport and his son, Naveed, 24, using an Australian passport, they say. Both have previously been named in Australian media
Elsewhere, Australian police say "homemade" Islamic State group flags and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) have been found in a vehicle used by the gunmen
Australia's PM says the attack - in which fifteen people were killed - appears to have been "motivated by Islamic State ideology"
The victims include a 10-year-old girl, a British-born rabbi, a retired police officer, and a Holocaust survivor - what we know about them so far
Twenty-four people remain in hospital - three are in critical condition and another five are critical but stable

Watch: 'I've got no faith in this country any more,' says Jewish Sydney resident
Nadine Saachs and sister Karen Sher came to leave flowers by the police cordon. They were draped in Israeli flags, and told me they were proud Jews.
Yesterday they had been at Bondi, and had gone for a swim. “We crossed that bridge, the exact bridge the shooters were on, and then came home and turned the television on,” says Nadine.
“So many people I know were murdered in cold blood – and for doing what? What did they ever do?”
Karen was critical of the government’s support of the Jewish community.
“They have got blood on their hands, they allowed it to happen,” she says. “We’ve been talking about this for 2 years now saying something was going to happen.”
Our team is at Bondi Beach still covering the aftermath of yesterday's shooting.
There are signs of the chaos from the night before, with piles of towels and clothing left on the beach as people fled from the shooting.
People are laying flower at memorials in front of the beach and Bondi Pavilion.

World news correspondent Joe Inwood has pieced together verified footage of the incident to show how Australia's worst mass shooting in nearly three decades unfolded.
At around 18:47 local time (07:47 GMT) on Sunday, New South Wales Police received reports that shots had been fired at a park in Bondi Beach.
In the minutes that followed, footage filmed by bystanders shows two gunman appearing to fire a volley of shots towards a park from a bridge.
Police say 15 people, including 10-year-old girl, were killed in the shooting. One of the gunmen is also dead.
How Bondi Beach shooting unfolded minute by minute
People in Sydney are being urged to donate blood to assist in the wake of yesterday's shooting.
Lifeblood Australia has issued life-threatening orders for O-blood donations to hospitals across Sydney in the wake of the Bondi Beach attack.
The blood donation service says it has already transferred blood from multiple states around Australia, and is in need of O negative blood donations.
The Australian Red Cross Lifeblood Australia website is experiencing temporary technical issues due to high volumes of people trying to visit the site.
Lifeblood says on social media it is "working to fix a temporary outage on our website", and that "our call centre is working through a high volume of calls". "We appreciate your patience and we thank you for helping us meet demand."
Across Sydney, there are 10 Lifeblood donor centres, external, including at Town Hall and on York Street in the city's central business district, and at Parramatta.
Some 40 people remain in hospital following yesterday's incident.

Some have put bouquets of flowers at an impromptu memorial set up by the corner of a primary school nearby.
Some people have been keen to publicly show solidarity with the Jewish community, with a woman with the Israeli flag draped over her shoulders, while others have shown up wearing kippahs, or Jewish skullcaps.
Jewish leaders have also shown up to speak to the crowd and the media.
One rabbi said the Jewish community "need to step up at a time like this, be there for each other, and we will get through this, and we know that the Australian community will help us do it".
As we reported earlier, police last night raided the family home of the alleged gunmen in the Sydney suburb of Bonnyrigg. Pictures have emerged showing police setting up a cordon outside the property.
The two gunmen were father and son, police say. The 50-year-old man also died at the scene while the 24-year-old remains in hospital in critical condition.

If you're just joining us, here is a recap of some of the key developments since yesterday's attack:
Alex Ryvchin is also personally grieving this morning.
One of his close friends was injured, and another - Rabbi Eli Schlanger - killed.
“He was the most godly, humane, kind, gracious human being I think I've ever met.”
“We're gonna be impoverished, we're gonna be stricken, we're gonna be just a worse community for [his loss], and there's just no two ways about it.”
And he’s just one person, Ryvchin says. Among the dead is a 10-year-old, whose only crime was being Jewish, he says.
“A man who I knew well, in his 90s, survived the Holocaust in the Soviet Union, only to be slaughtered, standing next to his wife at a Hannukah event on Bondi Beach.”

There’s an eerie sense of quiet at Bondi Beach this morning. A wall of floral tributes has slowly begun to grow over a nearby footpath. Nearby, we find Alex Ryvchin, from the Executive Council of Australia Jewry - the peak body for the Jewish community here in Australia.
He’s both numb and distraught, he says. “It’s just something that’s profoundly surreal… It's our worst fear, but it's also something that was outside the realm of possibilities.”
His organisation has been warning about a rise in recorded antisemitism incidents since the 7 October 2023 attack in Israel and its subsequent offensive in Gaza.
He says authorities - despite best intentions - have failed the Jewish community. “It has gone unchecked, and this is what we have, body bags on the beach.”

Yvonne Haber tells BBC Australia correspondent Katy Watson that she wasn't there when the shooting happened but "it's my community, it's our people that have been shot dead".
"We've had to have security guards at birthday parties, because everyone we've been... It's been waiting to happen, OK?" she says. "And we've been saying this is gonna happen."
Bondi shooting 'so distressing', local Jewish resident tells BBC
Australia is still coming to terms with the country's worst mass shooting in nearly 30 years.
As we have been reporting, 15 people are known to have died following Sunday's attack on Bondi Beach, including a 10-year-old girl, during celebrations for the Jewish Hanukkah festival.
There is a clearer picture building up of what happened with footage showing two gunmen - now confirmed by police to be a father and son - firing from a small bridge towards a park and beach area.
As 40 others remain in hospital, some of the latest images from Sydney are coming to us:

Chanie Simon tells the BBC: "We aren’t going to let terror stop us."
Chabad, the same Jewish group behind the celebration at Bondi Beach, organised the lighting of giant chanukiahs In London and other UK cities on the first night of the festival.
In north west London, there were multiple events with an increased police presence and support from the Community Security Trust.
Hundreds of people gathered with music, dancing and doughnuts but thoughts of what has happened in Australia dominated.
Chanie Simon knew the murdered British-born Rabbi Eli Schlanger, and attended the same school as him.
“He was a rabbi, a father in the prime of his life taken by cold murderers," she tells the BBC.
"We are reeling in pain but we are going around and carrying on to make the world a bigger and better place, bringing acts of goodness [and] acts of light because that’s what the world needs.
"It is awful but we aren’t going to let terror stop us,” Chanie says.
Yasmine Goldwyn says “it’s really scary for everybody in the Jewish community but we need to stand together. We can’t let things like this make us afraid because without Jewish events we don’t have Jewish life, that’s what brings us together".
Joseph Sassoon adds: “I’m very, very saddened by the loss of life and I’m saddened that Jewish people have to be afraid in this day and age. Years after the Holocaust and Jews are still being murdered.”
Crowds have gathered in European cities after the fatal shooting at Bondi Beach, which police say is being treated as a terrorist incident targeting the Jewish community.
In London, Paris and Berlin, people came together to pay tribute to the victims on what is the first night of the Jewish festival of Hannukah:

Rabbi Mendel Kastel, chief executive of Jewish House Crisis Centre in Sydney, says he lost his brother-in-law in the Bondi Beach shooting.
At the same time, he says he's also helping the local Jewish community in the aftermath of the tragedy.
Kastel says there are still people who don't know what happened to their loved ones and that the charity is working with the police to locate them "particularly as we're getting calls from overseas and they can't get hold of relatives".
As we've been reporting, police have confirmed that 15 people were killed in the shooting attack at Bondi Beach on Sunday.
Among the victims is a 10-year-old girl, according to a fresh statement from New South Wales Police.
The elder of the two gunman, 50, was shot dead by police. The 24-year-old remains in hospital in a critical condition.

Image source, ReutersJust about 12 hours after the shooting at Bondi Beach, the area around site at the northern end of Campbell Parade is still cordoned off with a significant police presence.
The media has set up at the corner closest to the site and a large crowd of onlookers have gathered at a cafe across the road.
It should be an ordinary Monday morning with people getting their coffees, walking their dogs or taking their kids to the playground.
Instead, there is now an air of lingering anxiety and shock, as squad cars patrol the streets and police tape blocks off a large swathe of the neighbourhood.

In a news conference just now, NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said lives were saved because of the lessons learned from the mass stabbing at a Bondi shopping centre last year.
He said he was "convinced" lives would have otherwise been lost and went on to praise the emergency workers as an inspiration.
In a country that prides itself on its gun restrictions and low violent crime rates, these are unfortunate lessons - it’s all too easy to give recent examples of violent attacks on Australian soil.
It’s no America but the line that everyone resorts to - "this sort of thing never happens in Australia" - feels outdated now.
Australians are in shock. So too are the authorities having to investigate this.
Image source, EPA/ShutterstockOfficials - including Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese - have just wrapped-up a news conference in Sydney which lasted just under 30 minutes.
Let's quickly recap some of the key developments:
