medal today including a silver medal for Jacquelin Thompson. That's all | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
from me, stay with us on BBC1. Now it's time for the news where you | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
are. Good night. Good evening and welcome. The Met | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
Police say they're looking into the activities of an extremist cleric | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
who was preaching in the streets of East London last weekend. Anjem | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
Choudary is one of the founders of the banned Islamist organisation | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Al`Muhajiroun. He was part of a group of radicals calling for Sharia | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Law in the UK, as Gareth Furby reports. A peaceful afternoon on | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
this road in Dalston, but last weekend, for some people, it got a | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
bit noisy. Embrace Islam today. | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
The group who call themselves Islamic Activists, drove up and down | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
in a van, covered with statements and symbols. A video of this event | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
is on a website, promoting Sharia law. | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
Adam was one of about 30 people taking part. | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Our message is public. We want Britain to hear that there are | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
Muslims living amongst them, who believe in re`establishing Sharia. | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
Also on the video is the radical preacher, Anjem Choudhury, whose | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
previous Islamist group was banned by the Home Office. The question now | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
is whether the van was carrying a logo used by jihadists in Syria. | :01:32. | :01:44. | |
An im imman `` an imam is peaceful but only used in the right context. | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
They have hi`jacked this message from God, they are using it and | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
abusing it. I think that they are desecrating it. It is like the BNP. | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
They are hi`jacking the British flag, it is like that. | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
It is freedom of speech. Why not? Everyone should have the opportunity | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
to say what they want. Scotland Yard says it is aware that there was an | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
event here and the was material given out. | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
A police inquiry is now under way. Businesses in a North London borough | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
which is bringing in a tax to help pay for late night policing say its | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
unfair and damaging. Islington is the first borough in the capital to | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
introduce a late`night levy on licenced bars and restaurants. The | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
council says the money will go towards dealing with the problems | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
related to a late night economy. Charlotte Franks reports. An evening | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
drink at your local. Something that men of look forward to after a hard | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
day. This bar in Islington relies on the regular customers and reasonable | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
prices but managers say that a council charge to be used to help | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
combat alcohol`fuelled crime is cause for concern. | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
Possibly the prices will go up. We can lose lots of money because of | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
it. A premises that continues to serve | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
alcohol beyond midin tos, selling alcohol, will be charged from ?300 | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
to up to ?4,000. Depending on the size and the value of the business, | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
but some of the pubs and the bars say that is unfair as they pay a | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
charge to fund ten police officers to patrol the area at certain times | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
of the day and the night. Over the last year, alcohol related | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
offences in Islington have doped 19%, but despite this, the council | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
still feel it is necessary to introduce the levy. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
We have a late night economy. It is close to a lot of residents. They | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
are concerned about the level s crime and . | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
Islington is not the first to introduce the levy. Schemes have | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
been adopted in Newcastle and Cheltenham as they try to police the | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
night`time economy under increasing budget pressures. Despite the | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
concerns from the licensees in Islington, the council says that the | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
charges should not impact on businesses too much. But that has | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
not helped relieve the concerns of this bar. | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
Well, we have been lucky with the weather this weekend. | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
We've had some lovely weather this weekend, Elizabeth Rizzini can tell | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
us if it's here to stay. Overnight, dry with close skies, temperatures | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
down to eight Celsius. A bright start to the working week but | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
clouding over. Temperatures down to 15 Celsius. Sunshine at times. | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
That's it, Asad Ahmad is back during Breakfast tomorrow morning. Bye`bye. | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
It is early in the year to hit 20 Celsius. Don't get used to it just | :05:05. | :05:13. | |
yet, but some spots in south-east of England got there. Gravesend the top | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
spot, but with cloud in Scotland and Northern Ireland, the temperatures | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
were held down and a wet end to the day courtesy of this weather front. | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
The rain here dying a way. The cloud here straggling England and Wales, | :05:32. | :05:32. | |
holding the temperatures | :05:33. | :05:33. |
