hello. one of britain's most senior police officers has warned the

:00:21.:00:52.

conflict in syria represents a long-term terrorist threat to the

:00:53.:01:00.

uk. full is the british jihadists in syria, with the most violent and

:01:01.:01:01.

blood 30 of all the insurgent groups in the middle east. but who are

:01:02.:01:47.

these young men? i am afraid i believe that we will be living with

:01:48.:01:56.

the consequences of syria, from a terrorist point of view, let alone

:01:57.:01:58.

from a world, geopolitical consequences, for many, many, many

:01:59.:01:59.

years to come. the sunni jihadists of ices have been fighting in syria

:02:00.:02:01.

for some time, but this month they have stormed through northern iraq,

:02:02.:02:03.

taking town after town, imposing draconian rules and executing

:02:04.:02:07.

prisoners in cold blood. the iraqi army has put up little or no

:02:08.:02:14.

resistance. so now, iraq's powerful shia militias are rallying to defend

:02:15.:02:19.

their holy sites. they will be a match for the fanatics of isis, but

:02:20.:02:24.

it risks turning into a sectarian war, sunni versus shia. meanwhile,

:02:25.:02:37.

isis and its followers have been using social media to broadcast

:02:38.:02:40.

their messages. it is causing some community leaders to worry about the

:02:41.:02:57.

effect on young people. this is a change in the attitude of the

:02:58.:03:07.

community. for us, it is as important as it is for anybody else

:03:08.:03:45.

to be careful, to be vigilant, and to make sure that these people are

:03:46.:03:59.

targeted and taken care of. but there is no denying the potential

:04:00.:04:09.

charisma of propaganda videos like this. officials fear it will

:04:10.:04:16.

generate yet more jihadist recruits to one of the most violent conflicts

:04:17.:04:22.

in the world. jihadists have already started to return here in their

:04:23.:04:27.

hundreds. right now, it is more an expectation that in the future, it

:04:28.:04:33.

is something which is going to happen. a proportion of those

:04:34.:04:45.

returning from jihad to become domestic terrorists, as it is

:04:46.:05:05.

labelled. the focus of ices at the moment is entirely on the middle

:05:06.:05:17.

east. they are fighting in syria and primarily, they are fighting the

:05:18.:05:20.

iraqi army, or what is left of it, in iraq. the expectation is that not

:05:21.:05:30.

only will some comeback, but even before that, 250 have already

:05:31.:05:34.

returned here, brutalised by what they have seen, and brutally

:05:35.:05:37.

anti-western. so there is a slight danger of it becoming a

:05:38.:05:40.

self-fulfilling prophecy. there may be things which you and i do not

:05:41.:05:44.

know about, which are intercepted on the internet by gchq, for example.

:05:45.:05:46.

there may be things in the pipeline. but it is more an expectation of

:05:47.:05:48.

what is to come down the line. the iraqi government has suffered a

:05:49.:05:49.

setback in its battle against sunni militants with claims that three

:05:50.:05:51.

towns have been captured by ices militants in the last 48 hours.

:05:52.:05:52.

meanwhile, video has been released of what the iraqi government says

:05:53.:05:54.

are strikes against ices hideouts in mosul. joining us from baghdad is

:05:55.:05:56.

our world affairs correspondent jonathan beale. bring us up to date

:05:57.:06:06.

with the latest. just before john kerry arrives, the

:06:07.:06:10.

iranian president has warned america not to intervene. there is

:06:11.:06:15.

speculation, there had been speculation that those two rivals

:06:16.:06:23.

would join together on this one, but that seems far away at the moment.

:06:24.:06:35.

the former defence secretary liam fox has spoken this morning on the

:06:36.:06:39.

bbc about europe. david cameron wants to force a vote on the issue

:06:40.:06:47.

of the new presidency this week. david cameron is fighting for the uk

:06:48.:06:50.

to get some powers back from brussels. be negotiating the terms

:06:51.:06:54.

is crucial to his plan for a referendum. this is the man he

:06:55.:07:02.

thinks could stand in the way of that, jean-claude juncker, the front

:07:03.:07:05.

runner to be the next president of the eu commissioner. he is the

:07:06.:07:10.

choice of the biggest group in the european parliament, the european

:07:11.:07:12.

people's party, a group which the conservatives decided not to be part

:07:13.:07:18.

of. if the tories were part of that

:07:19.:07:21.

party, he could have made that argument at the dublin summit, and

:07:22.:07:25.

he may well have prevailed. the German canceller to a -- to side

:07:26.:07:38.

with him but she and a growing number of leaders are backing the

:07:39.:07:43.

former Luxembourg Prime Minister -- Chancellor. Sceptics still think

:07:44.:07:47.

their leader has taken the right steps. A Jean-Claude Juncker agenda

:07:48.:07:55.

is wrong for the people of Europe so the British Prime Minister is right

:07:56.:08:00.

to stand up against it. He may not win but it is better to seek a Prime

:08:01.:08:04.

Minister fight it at all and not fight at all because not to fight

:08:05.:08:08.

gets as close up on the juggernaut to a union. It has not been plain

:08:09.:08:14.

sailing for David Cameron, despite his efforts, very few EU leaders

:08:15.:08:18.

have come out against Jean-Claude Juncker and the Prime Minister's

:08:19.:08:22.

chances of stopping him sinking fast.

:08:23.:08:27.

If final attempt could be to get the decision delayed, he will hope the

:08:28.:08:31.

President of the European Council might be able to help with that when

:08:32.:08:36.

they meet tomorrow -- a final. If the Prime Minister does push it to a

:08:37.:08:38.

they meet tomorrow -- a final. If the Prime Minister does push vote

:08:39.:08:40.

later in the week, he will almost certainly lose.

:08:41.:08:45.

Former Wimbledon champion Virginia Wade has questioned Andy Murray's

:08:46.:08:51.

choice of college. He will begin his defence of his Wimbledon crown

:08:52.:08:53.

choice of college. He will begin his defence of his Wimbledon this week

:08:54.:08:56.

and she said he was fooling around when he announced the appointment of

:08:57.:09:04.

former women's number one Amelie Mauresmo who she described as

:09:05.:09:06.

fragile mentally. Day 11 of the World Cup and the

:09:07.:09:12.

final set second-round group matches could see the hopes of Cristiano

:09:13.:09:16.

Ronaldo and Portugal shattered. They were beaten by Germany and if they

:09:17.:09:20.

lose to the USA, they will go out. Later, it England will hold another

:09:21.:09:26.

news conference. Our reporter is in Rio, the first time the England

:09:27.:09:30.

manager will face the press since England were out of the competition,

:09:31.:09:35.

will he get a rough ride? He may well do. England's players

:09:36.:09:43.

are training today in Rio de Janeiro ahead of their game against Costa

:09:44.:09:45.

Rica on Tuesday which is meaningless. They are already out of

:09:46.:09:50.

the tournament. Interesting to see from Roy Hodgson what approach he

:09:51.:09:56.

will have, will he play younger players like Luke Shaw and how does

:09:57.:10:02.

he see England's failure? Also speaking will be England captain

:10:03.:10:05.

Steven Gerrard, is he about to retire from his national team or

:10:06.:10:13.

will he take longer to consult with Liverpool and his family? We will

:10:14.:10:17.

wait and see. Tributes have been paid to the

:10:18.:10:20.

actress Patsy Byrne who became well-known for playing Mercy in the

:10:21.:10:25.

second series of Blackadder. She has died at the age of eight T. -- 80.

:10:26.:10:39.

The next news is later, that is it. More warm sunshine today. We are

:10:40.:11:03.

going to see changes through the week ahead. Gradual changes. The

:11:04.:11:08.

first half will the warm sunshine and by the end of the week, it looks

:11:09.:11:13.

wet. Thanks to an area of low pressure which is a long way away

:11:14.:11:18.

and is slowly moving towards the UK. Pressure
