The fighting continues in northern Iraq. Also tonight... The goal that

dumped England out of the World Cup, Costa Rica's surprise win sends

England packing. Down and out, it's England's earliest exit from the

final since 1958. A husband and wife are found guilty

of burying parents in the back garden.

And why the Girl with a Pearl Earring is finally settling down.

Zblp later on BBC London. Moves to remove all the governors at this

primary due to a drop in standards. Good evening. A video has emerged

online which claims to show British and Australian fighters urging

Western Muslims to fight in Iraq. The footage appears to be from the

Islamist extremists ISIS and shows at least one man from Cardiff.

Tonight his father said the family is heartbroken. In Iraq, the

fighting has intensified with Iraq's biggest oil refinery surrounded by

ISIS extremists. There have been fierce battles around the airport, a

that teethic northern town in. A moment, our special correspondent

reports from the frontline in Iraq, first, our Security Correspondent,

Frank Gardner, examines the ISIS threat.

Busy recruiting from all over the world. We have brothers from

Bangladesh, Iraq, Cambodia, Australia, UK... This propaganda

video from the group ISIS appears to show at least three British

jihadists in Syria. We understand no borders. We have participated in

battles and we will go to Iraq... It's a recruitment video, posted

online and the Home Office wants it taken down. This is a message to the

brothers who have stayed behind. This man from Australia has since

been killed. Tonight, this man's father spoke out from the family

home in Cardiff. I want to cry. Why are you doing

this. Who led them to go there. Who make Fatah for them to go there? On

what basis? The video, slickery produced and widely circulated --

and is widely circulated. The mainstream reaction is to make sure

that the young people do not appreciate that they're going away

there or actions like that is not going to help either the Muslim

community or the Iraqis. It will only cause worries and anguish to

their parents. Nearly 500 Britons are believed to have gone to fight

in Syria, most joining extremist groups. They include this man, the

Crawley bomber, the first Briton to blow himself up there. ISIS and it's

followers are making extensive use of extensive media. It's an integral

part of their plan to take over more territory. The message gets so

quickly and it's so powerful and they may -- there may be a military

purpose in a sense that their opponents are so scared because they

seem so powerful, so brutal and gruesome that this kind of

propaganda that gets out almost has a strategic military component to

it. ISIS members are fighting in two

countries, Syria and Iraq, but here, the government believes they pose a

threat to Britain. Whitehall officials will not reveal exactly

what the intelligence is that's prompting the government to say ISIS

is planning to attack the UK. But we've learned that MI5, the Security

Service here, are now having to devote the greatest amount of their

case work to tracking jihadists leaving Britain for Syria and some

coming back from there. For now, the focus of ISIS fighters like these is

firmly on the Middle East, but the more the West gets drawn into the

conflict in Iraq, the more Britain risks becoming their target.

There's been more fierce fighting in Iraq, as icess forces battle -- ISIS

forces battle to control the north and east of the country. The fate of

the country's biggest oil refinery remains unclear as fighting

continues between Sunni jihad its and Iraqi government and curdish

forces. Our special correspondent obtained exclusive footage of ISIS

suspects surrendering to curdish forces. This report contains some

distressing images. All week the curdish snipers have

watched, waited, killed. As an army cameraman films, the officer shouts,

"Hit them. Hit them as they run." Through the sniper's viewpoint the

body of an ISIS fighter. All this the Kurds own filmed record of a

week's fighting. Here ISIS suspects surrendering. They're made to strip

for fear they're wearing suicide vests. But the jihadi snipers are

active too, watch now as they just miss the Kurds, bullets smashing

into the earth. We travelled into Jalula with the

curdish forces. Coming against us people fleeing the war. The

government forces are now in control of this part of the town, but it's

all very tentative. In this kind of urban, street by street fighting,

things can change at any minute. They're just waiting for a vehicle

to go past us. They watch every vehicle coming through carefully,

because they know that they could be used to smuggle explosives. They

could have suicide bombers on board. ISIS are still here and biding their

time. On this ridge, the troops watch the roadway to the south.

They're determined to stop any ISIS advance into their territory. If

they want to do any attacks to these areas, they have to use this A car

road. Approaches, there are nervous moments. But it's just a husband and

wife. And then, another family, fleeing towards safety. This is the

particular neighbourhood that we have an issue. I met the curdish

intelligence chief as he was briefed. We don't want this to turn

out to be another Syria. This is also dangerous for the European

countries. We believe there is a lot of foreigners amongst these people,

Europeans. We've seen numbers of Europeans inside Syria fighting side

by side of ISIS. We believe some of these people have come into Iraq.

The more comfortable they feel here, the more of a success story they

show here, soon they will think about Europe. They will target

Europe. And the Western countries. But for now, the violence of Iraq is

experienced by the people of Iraq. These are Sunni villagers who fled

their homes because, they say, a Shia militia attacked them. This man

told me he'd seen burned and mutilated bodies. "What I saw with

my own eyes was seven burned bodies in our neighbourhood. They were

dumped in plastic bags. When we saw that, we took our families and

left." This girl and her sister lost their

father in the killings. This is not a war of neighbour against

neighbour, a simple narrative of religious hatred between Iraqis, but

of a country undone by war and political failure. "I felt we were

going to be killed right away, " Says Nadia. Me and my family.

England have crashed out of the World Cup after Italy failed to beat

Costa Rica in their match this evening. It's England's earliest

exit from the finals since 1958, but despite that, the FA has said that

the England manager, Roy Hodgson, will stay in his job. Our chief

sports correspondent, Dan Roan, is in Leo and -- Rio and sent this

report. It no longer comes as a surprise,

another campaign of desperation and despair on the game's greatest

stage, their World Cup hopes dashed in record time. This was the moment

England were put out of their misery, Costa Rica's surprise win

over Italy, ending faint hopes of a reprieve. For fans watching the game

in Rio, a new low. Gutted, but trying to enjoy it and make the most

of what's been a bad tournament for us. A lot of people have paid a lot

of money and travelled a long way. It's all gone wrong. We were relying

on nearly, say no more. We should have beat them. We should have beat

them. I've had enough. Here at their beachside Rio hotel today, England

know that historically, this is as bad as it gets. The first time since

1958 they've been knocked out of the competition in the first round and

once again, the national game finds itself desperately searching for

answers. As feared, Uruguay's Luis Suarez proved decisive in Sao Paulo

last night. The Liverpool striker's two goals sinking England. Roy

Hodgson called it bitterly disappointing, so should he stay as

manager? We are supportive of Roy. He came to do a four-year cycle and

I see people are asking the questions - will he stay? The answer

is If it yes. Was a positive here, it was the performance of some of

the younger players. One former England captain told me this is no

time to panic. We just have to keep embracing our young players. We have

a good crop of yuck players -- young players coming through. We haven't

had the results we would have liked. But we have got to keep building

towards the future. We have a good bunch. We have to support and give

them a platform to work from and to be able to bring the best out of

them. Even for England's fans, this will be hard to take, their team

kicked out of Brazil's footballing festival, when it has barely begun.

In the history of England failures, how does this one rate, then?

There's no doubt that England turned up here at this tournament amid

historically low expectations, so perhaps it shouldn't come as too

much of a shock. But it is arguably their worst ever World Cup

performance. Only a week ago we were in the jungle looking forward to the

start of their World Cup adventure, now it's all over. Sources close to

Roy Hodgson have told me he's optimistic about the future. He

tends to stay and fight, whatever happens on Tuesday. Nonetheless,

some will feel he's lucky to stay in his 3. ?3.5 million a year job,

given this failure, given perhaps there are better alternatives

elsewhere, given that he left experienced players at home. On the

other hand, some will argue his hands were tied. There isn't the

amount of English talent at his disposal that he needs. The old

arguments about the number of foreigners in the Premier League,

the quality of coaching and facilities at the grass-roots will

rear their heads. At a time when other sports national teams have

enjoyed periods of success, football keeps on failing am the tournaments

keep on coming, the names come and go, but it's the same old story. A

woman and her husband have been found guilty of murdering her

parents for their money and then burying them in the garden of their

family home in Nottinghamshire. Susan and Christopher Edwards

managed to evade justice for 15 years, telling neighbours her

mother and father had moved away. From Mansfield, Jo Black reports.

Christmas greetings from the Wycherleys.

By the time this card was sent, William Wycherley and his wife

Patricia had been lying dead in their back garden for 13 years.

The Christmas cards were just part of the pretence created by

their own daughter and son-in-law. Susan Edwards and her husband,

Christopher Edwards, also installed timers to turn on the lights

so the house looked occupied. And they often travelled from London

just to attend to the garden. Neighbours were told the Wycherley

's were away travelling. One of the neighbours saw Christopher Edwards

sticking a large hole right here and thought nothing of it. But hours

later, under the cover of darkness, the couple came out and buried Mr

and Mrs Witchell E, turning the whole into a makeshift grave. When

they gave evidence, they talked about the moving of the body is as

if they were talking about all of the household items, furniture. They

were so matter of fact about it. How could a couple vanish and no one

notice. Brett Wilson used to live next door and says the Wycherley 's

were very private couple. In the back garden, we would probably wave,

but after that, nothing whatsoever. The neighbours would come out, the

Wycherleys would go in. Over the years, the Edwards empty the bank

accounts of savings, pensions and benefits. They stole nearly

?300,000, spending money on celebrity memorabilia from stars

like Frank Sinatra. When they ran out of money, Christopher Edwards

confessed to his stepmother and she tipped off the police. For 15 years,

they told elaborate stories. This story, the jury did not believe.

just to attend to the garden. Ukraine's president, Petro

Poroshenko, has declared a week-long cease-fire by government forces in

the disputed east of the country. It is part of a peace plan aimed at

halting the fighting with pro-Russia rebels. Russia described it as an

ultimatum. On the ground, there is little sign of the separatists being

willing to lay down their arms. the disputed east of the country.

Storming through the countryside in eastern Ukraine today, tanks

in the hands of pro-Russian rebels. The vehicles appear to have

come across from Russia. Trying to seal the leaky frontier

has been a priority for the new government in Kiev.

So these Ukrainian troops have completely blocked the main road

north-east to the border, but the move has come at a price.

To gain control, they shelled one end of the town,

causing extensive damage. You can see that

the shell that landed in this house has blown it apart.

Neighbours say two of the people living there were

killed, and you can see the force of the blast, which blew

the roof right across the street. Further evidence

of the increasing numbers of civilian casualties in this

low-level war in eastern Ukraine. Tonight, the Ukrainian president

announced that his forces, which have been gaining ground,

will now cease fire for a week. He did it with a flourish,

turning up at the headquarters of the military operation in the east.

He is offering greater autonomy, but in return he is asking the

rebels to give up their weapons. The death toll had

been rising steeply. The two sides paused this week

to return each other's dead bodies under a flag of truce.

But despite their heavy losses, rebel leaders immediately rejected

today's cease-fire offer, so the drift towards a humanitarian

crisis will continue. In Sloviansk, the rebels' most

fortified town, there is no running water and no electricity.

Some, like this woman, have escaped to Donetsk,

where I found her in a dormitory. But she said many have

remained behind. "Everybody is saying we are going to

die here", she told me. "They shouldn't be dying,

they should all leave". Ukraine is at a fork in the road.

Tonight, there is a chance for peace, but it could still slide

further into a bitter war. Daniel Sandford, BBC News, Donetsk.

They have blocked the road to the border but at a price. To gain

control, they shelled one end of the town, causing extensive damage. You

can see that the shell that landed in this house has blown it apart.

Neighbours say two some, like this woman, have escaped

Donetsk, where I found her in a dormitory but she said many remained

behind. Everybody is saying we are going to die here, she told me. They

shouldn't be dying. They should all leave. Ukraine is at a fork in the

road. Tonight, there is a chance for peace, but it could still slide

further into a bit award. A care worker who was secretly

filmed ill treating a woman with Dementia at a care home near Bristol

has been jailed for four months. Gladys Wright was 79 and suffered

from Alzheimer's. But this was how she was treated at the granary care

home near Bristol. In pictures filmed secretly by her son, staff

repeatedly abused her. Today, Daniel Bains and two others were sentenced

for ill-treatment and neglect. She was a lovely woman. Her son, Jim,

says that what he saw happen to his mother broke his heart. I was

absolutely disgusted. Nobody should have to go through it. Certainly not

somebody fragile and unable to report the abuse. It is disgusting.

The abuse continued for months. Here, one of them limbers up for

this. And nasty pinch or punch. The health care group who run this place

say that the three convicted men are not typical of their staff, but the

family of Gladys Wright say it is now time for all care homes in

Britain to install cameras to protect their residence. This is the

latest in a long line of cases exposing care home abuses, with

campaigners saying standards are still not good enough. We cannot

protect our old people. Everybody knows it and nobody is doing

anything about it. We are pretending we have safety and security and the

reality is that we do not. Gladys Wright's family said the final few

months of her life were filled with indignities in the place she was

supposed to be cared for. The number of people who have been forced to

live as refugees because of war or persecution is at its highest level

since World War II. The head of the UNHCR says the world is becoming

more violent and called on the international committee to come

together to help to solve the crisis. Over 51 million people fled

their homes in 2013, an increase of 6 million from the previous year.

Nearly 6 million of them are children. The increase was driven

mainly by fighting in Syria, along with new conflicts in the Central

African Republic and South Sudan. Matthew Price is on an Italian Navy

ship off the coast of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea. He watched as

Syrian refugees in a boat were rescued and has sent this exclusive

report. Soon after dawn, the Italian Navy

launched its latest rescue mission, heading towards the Ibrahim,

overloaded and adrift at sea. 279 people squeezed on board. And

desperate to get to safety. First, life jackets, thrown over in plastic

bags. Later, under the baking sun, some water. Where are you from?

Syria. How long have you been at sea? Two days? One week! Clinging

on, a young child, scared, bewildered, but now able to smile.

And then, children and women first, the newest Syrian refugees were

taken to safety. The Italian Navy is saving lives, but this is also

creating a political problem for the European Union. Tens of thousands of

migrants now know that the likelihood is they will be rescued

at sea. But this is their entry point to Europe. They are part of a

growing number of refugees. The United Nations today said that war

and persecution in Syria, South Sudan and beyond has forced 50

million from their homes. It says the richer countries are not taking

their share. Finally, they arrived on to the Navy ship that will take

them to land, to Europe. The last one was so difficult. We were

afraid. And now how do you feel? And I would not advise anyone to do this

journey. Anybody. How do you feel now? Now, with you, better. They

fled war and almost died finding peace. Italy's asylum system is

creaking under the strain. Many do not believe they should be let in,

but for them, this is the difference between life and death.

They are some of the finest paintings in the world and for the

last two years they have been touring the globe, drawing record

crowds in Japan, Italy and the United States. Now they have

returned home to a newly renovated museum in The Hague. The star

attraction is the girl with the Pearl earring, the masterpiece which

became a literary sensation. It also houses the Goldfinch, another

painting that found fame again through a bestselling book. We'll

come Perks travels to The Hague to take a look.

Home to some of the greatest paintings on the planet, including

this beauty, the girl with the Pearl earring. She is back after a

two-year world tour, where she was fated like a rock star and fawn upon

like royalty. Painted in 1665, she knows her radiance to liberal use of

the rare ultramarine pigment # pigment. Her international stardom

is in part down to something a little more common, a movie. Look at

me. The film, starring Colin Firth and Scarlett Johansson was based on

a bestselling book. I think it is a beautiful painting, the light, the

colour. Beyond that, there is a depth of emotion there that is right

up front, and yet it is an emotion that we don't really understand. And

we can look at the painting again and again and never really connect

with her completely, even though we want to. There is another painting

in this collection that those some of its celebrity to the imagination

of a modern-day author. The Goldfinch, painted in 1654, turned

into something of an international icon by this Hewlett is a

prize-winning novel. The book is good. The painting is remarkable. It

is a finely honed three-dimensional illusion seen from afar, but a

sketchy li painted panel of seemingly improvised brushstrokes,

when viewed close-up. It also went out on tour while the Moritz house

was closed for renovation. Part of a travelling exhibition of the

museum's masterpieces that had people queueing round the block

wherever it went. Before we closed we had 250,000 visitors a year,

roughly. We sent a small group of paintings on tour, and in two years,

we received over 2.2 million visitors. So we are expecting a huge

increase after we reopen. Which it does next week. And all those

expected visitors will be welcomed by some familiar faces, like

Rembrandt, and those doctors he painted. And old laughing boy here.

The modernisation of this 17th-century building comes shortly

after the reopening of Amsterdam's three great public art galleries,

which means the Netherlands is right back in the game as a cultural

destination. That is all from us. Now,
