Good afternoon. In the last hour, Sunni jihadists fighting in Northern

:00:22.:00:24.

Iraq say they've captured a strategically important town on the

:00:25.:00:28.

Syrian border. It could allow ISIS militants to move heavy weapons into

:00:29.:00:32.

Iraq. The development comes as Shia militiamen held a huge rally in

:00:33.:00:36.

Baghdad in a show of force designed to intimidate Sunni rebels. The

:00:37.:00:41.

rally was held in the Sadr City district of Baghdad. From there,

:00:42.:00:43.

Sadr City in Baghdad is a Shia stronghold. This is one of the

:00:44.:01:00.

biggest demonstrations organised by Shia supporters for years. A sea of

:01:01.:01:05.

military uniforms worn by young and old, and carrying an Arsenal of

:01:06.:01:11.

weapons, not just automatic rifles but rocket launchers as well. Today

:01:12.:01:20.

there was news that ISIS had made more gains, taking a checkpoint on

:01:21.:01:25.

the border with Syria. We are here to show people that we will defend

:01:26.:01:35.

Iraq. Any people, we will defend them. This is an army that stretches

:01:36.:01:43.

as far as the eye can see, show of force and display of defiance

:01:44.:01:47.

against the threat posed by ISIS. There are not taking their orders

:01:48.:01:52.

from the Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki, but leading Shia clerics.

:01:53.:02:08.

They are chanting Madhi, the cry of Mukhtar al-Sadr. There is growing

:02:09.:02:16.

disillusion with the Prime Minister. One of the signals that he sends in

:02:17.:02:29.

his speech. He wants them to quit. And DUI? Me, too. But this also

:02:30.:02:34.

demonstrated the difficulties in governing this country. Despite the

:02:35.:02:38.

organiser loopholes claim that they presented a united front for all

:02:39.:02:43.

Iraqis, it was a show of force by Shia militia, displaying a growing

:02:44.:02:45.

sectarian divide. Here, it's being claimed that at

:02:46.:02:51.

least 500 British people have travelled to fight in Iraq and Syria

:02:52.:02:53.

by the head of the police's terrorism prevention strategy. Sir

:02:54.:02:56.

Peter Fahy warned that some estimates put the figure even

:02:57.:02:58.

higher. The father of a British student who appeared in an ISIS

:02:59.:03:01.

recruitment video has urged him to Footage of reduced jihadist fighters

:03:02.:03:19.

calling on other Western Muslims to join them in battle in Iraq and

:03:20.:03:26.

Syria. And ISIS propaganda video that can't be verified. Among them,

:03:27.:03:32.

20-year-old Nasser, who had plans to study medicine. In the video,. What

:03:33.:03:45.

is your reaction to that? I want to cry. Why is he doing this? Who led

:03:46.:03:56.

him to go there? Is he going to kill or do anything? He didn't think of

:03:57.:04:08.

the children, women. NASA's father is concerned he may have been

:04:09.:04:11.

radicalised in Cardiff. He says there are figures in the city

:04:12.:04:14.

targeting young men, turning their beliefs into something more

:04:15.:04:22.

sinister. Sir Peter Fahy says they are not only concerned about what

:04:23.:04:27.

happens abroad. What was also interesting from the interview with

:04:28.:04:30.

the father of this lad is that he suspects he was radicalised in

:04:31.:04:33.

Cardiff, so while we are concerned about material on the web, we are

:04:34.:04:39.

also concerned about people who very cynically try to radicalise and turn

:04:40.:04:41.

the minds of vulnerable people here in this country. Ahmed says he has

:04:42.:04:47.

told police about another man in the video who we also believes is from

:04:48.:04:52.

Cardiff. The footage emerged after ISIS tints made rapid advances

:04:53.:04:56.

through Iraq in recent weeks. The Home Office says it is trying to

:04:57.:04:59.

remove the video from the Internet, but the body that represents

:05:00.:05:02.

Internet service providers says this is a tricky area and would be

:05:03.:05:08.

difficult to do. It is understood tracking British jihadists is now

:05:09.:05:11.

the top priority for the security service MI5.

:05:12.:05:16.

The former Labour Cabinet minister, David Blunkett, has warned that the

:05:17.:05:19.

party could be in the "political wilderness" and out of power for 15

:05:20.:05:22.

years if they don't win the next election. Mr Blunkett, who's 67,

:05:23.:05:26.

made the comments after announcing that he's stepping down as an MP

:05:27.:05:30.

next year. Live now to our political

:05:31.:05:31.

correspondent, Carole Walker, at Westminster.

:05:32.:05:35.

Is this a sign of a shift to a new generation? Yes, David Blunkett says

:05:36.:05:45.

he feels it is time for new faces and a clean break with the past. He

:05:46.:05:49.

is someone who really did defy the odds to make it to the Cabinet. The

:05:50.:05:55.

son of a Sheffield gasman, sent to a boarding school for the blind the

:05:56.:05:59.

age of four, yet went on to become Home Secretary, Education Secretary,

:06:00.:06:04.

Work and Pensions Secretary. He says that he does believe that Ed

:06:05.:06:07.

Miliband will lead Labour to victory at the next election, but he then

:06:08.:06:11.

delivered that warning, that if he doesn't do so, Labour could be in

:06:12.:06:13.

the political wilderness for 15 years. David Blunkett doesn't have

:06:14.:06:18.

an entirely unblemished political career. He did have to resign from

:06:19.:06:23.

the Cabinet twice. But his words still carry clout. They will add to

:06:24.:06:29.

the pressure on Ed Miliband. But sources around him as saying that no

:06:30.:06:32.

one could be more focused on the need to win in 2015 then Ed

:06:33.:06:36.

Miliband, and that is what all his energies are focused upon.

:06:37.:06:42.

Harold Walker, thank you. -- Carole Walker.

:06:43.:06:46.

The use of CCTV so-called "spy cars" by councils to catch people parking

:06:47.:06:49.

illegally is to be banned in England. It's one of a number of

:06:50.:06:52.

ideas to stop what ministers call over-zealous parking enforcement

:06:53.:06:54.

practices. But local authorities say the cars, with CCTV cameras attached

:06:55.:06:57.

to them, stop motorists blocking roads and help protect pedestrians.

:06:58.:06:59.

These are the so-called spy cars that ministers want to rein in. The

:07:00.:07:09.

government is stopping councils from using them to catch people parking

:07:10.:07:13.

illegally unless there is a strong safety case for keeping them. What

:07:14.:07:19.

we are announcing is the outlawing of the use of mobile CCTV cameras

:07:20.:07:26.

for parking enforcement going around the streets. Ministers argued that

:07:27.:07:29.

parking enforcement drives shoppers away from the high Street. In

:07:30.:07:33.

Salford this morning, some support for that view. People just park

:07:34.:07:39.

anywhere they want to, and I think it stop the commerce in towns, more

:07:40.:07:45.

than anything else. The car parks are ridiculously expensive. My big

:07:46.:07:51.

issue is bus lanes. Where we come from, people have been just inches

:07:52.:07:55.

into a lane, they have been targeted. In certain areas and

:07:56.:08:00.

certain times, spy cars might be quite good, because it is quite

:08:01.:08:05.

dangerous. The ban on CDTV is one of several new parking reforms.

:08:06.:08:08.

Residents will also be able to demand a review of arcing in their

:08:09.:08:14.

area. Motorists will not be fine if the meter isn't working, and

:08:15.:08:16.

councils will have to publish details of how they spend the

:08:17.:08:19.

income. The Local Government Association says CCTV cameras are

:08:20.:08:23.

only used by a small number of councils, and they often make the

:08:24.:08:28.

roads safer. I think every council wants to make it easier for people

:08:29.:08:33.

to park. What we don't want to do is make it easier for people to park

:08:34.:08:35.

illegally or an conveniently for other road users. Spy cars will be

:08:36.:08:42.

continue to be used outside schools and in bus lanes. Elsewhere, you can

:08:43.:08:47.

still get a fine from a traffic warden. Wayne Rooney and some of his

:08:48.:08:59.

team-mates have apologised to supporters for their performance in

:09:00.:09:07.

Brazil. Going into each game, we had great leaving ourselves, but

:09:08.:09:10.

unfortunately it hasn't worked out. Sorry to all the fans that travelled

:09:11.:09:14.

and at home that we haven't done better. Then, what is the mood like

:09:15.:09:20.

now? Pretty grim in the England camp. They our training in about

:09:21.:09:28.

three hours. Roy Hodgson somehow has to pick his men up. They are pretty

:09:29.:09:34.

demoralised. They have a game on Tuesday against Costa Rica which is

:09:35.:09:37.

effectively a dead rubber, because England are already eliminated.

:09:38.:09:41.

Their earliest exit since 1958 for World Cup tournament. It may be a

:09:42.:09:48.

chance for him to use some of his younger players like Alex

:09:49.:09:51.

Oxlade-Chamberlain. Then, thank you. Gerry Conlon, one

:09:52.:09:57.

of the so-called Guildford four, victim of a miscarriage of justice,

:09:58.:09:59.

has died at the age of 60. You can see more on all of today's

:10:00.:10:03.

stories on the BBC News Channel. The next news on BBC One is at half past

:10:04.:10:07.

six. Bye for now. Good afternoon. It is the summer

:10:08.:10:22.

solstice, the longest Day, the time when the sun is at its highest in

:10:23.:10:28.

the sky, and most of us are feeling the warmth. For most of us, a dry

:10:29.:10:34.

weekend. There are some cloudier zones, and the satellite picked

:10:35.:10:35.

shows a lot of
