Good evening. A Muslim couple from east London have been jailed today

:00:13.:00:19.

for glorifying the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby. Royal Barnes and

:00:20.:00:24.

Rebekah Dawson posted videos on the internet in which they mocked the

:00:25.:00:27.

killing of the soldier outside Woolwich barracks last May. An Old

:00:28.:00:30.

Bailey judge described the material as "offensive in the extreme". Both

:00:31.:00:33.

pleaded guilty to charges of disseminating a terrorist

:00:34.:00:38.

publication. Nick Beake reports. The pain was raw, the grief self

:00:39.:00:45.

evident. Woolwich was stunned by the murder of Lee Rigby. They came from

:00:46.:00:51.

far and wide to leave tributes. A public outpouring of sympathy, which

:00:52.:00:58.

was mocked by two Londoners. This is where the British soldier died! This

:00:59.:01:05.

is Royal Barnes, a 23`year`old from Hackney driving past the flowers. He

:01:06.:01:10.

said the brilliant had been a brilliant day. His wife is doing the

:01:11.:01:15.

filming. At one point they turn back for a second look. This one of three

:01:16.:01:23.

films they edited with images of beheadings and 9/11 and then

:01:24.:01:29.

uploaded to YouTube. The judge said their videos were offensive in the

:01:30.:01:34.

extreme. He said Lyle there may be arguments about freedom of speech,

:01:35.:01:39.

no one is entitled to glorify murder on the streets of London. Barnes

:01:40.:01:49.

pleaded guilty to inciting murder. He had written on Facebook, anyone

:01:50.:01:56.

who kills an invading soldier I will give them a Vauxhall atra and money.

:01:57.:02:02.

No one replied to the post. Groups which try to tackle radicalism

:02:03.:02:12.

welcomed the sentence. In the wake of the killing of Lee Rigby it is

:02:13.:02:17.

being taken seriously. It is important he was punished and a

:02:18.:02:23.

message sent out this will not be tolerated. Barnes' wife Rebekah

:02:24.:02:28.

Dawson was sentenced to 20 months for making and uploading the video.

:02:29.:02:34.

She refused to lift her veil to give evidence in court. This is Royal

:02:35.:02:40.

Barnes with Michael Adebowale, one of Lee Rigby's killers. It was

:02:41.:02:46.

filmed at a protest calling for Islamic law in the UK. Obviously to

:02:47.:02:53.

not dress like that in a Muslim area. Barnes was jailed for taking

:02:54.:02:59.

part in so`called muss him patrols ` Muslim Proms, ordering people ``

:03:00.:03:06.

patrols ordering people to dress in a certain way and not to drink

:03:07.:03:13.

alcohol. Campaigners opposed to the controversial High Speed 2 rail line

:03:14.:03:16.

are warning the project will devastate areas around Euston

:03:17.:03:18.

station where the line terminates. One resident in particular would

:03:19.:03:21.

like Mayor Boris Johnson to re`think his position ` his father, Stanley

:03:22.:03:24.

Johnson. Sarah Harris has been speaking to him. From his bedroom

:03:25.:03:38.

close to regent's Park, the father of the ma yoshgs Stanley Johnson is

:03:39.:03:44.

only a stone's throw from what he said will be a construction site for

:03:45.:03:50.

25 years. Noise, pollution, dust. These are crucial. Just take the

:03:51.:03:56.

sheer extent of the land grab. We are talking about the size of 17

:03:57.:04:01.

Emirates stadiums here. Much of his neighbourhood will be affected by

:04:02.:04:05.

the project. He is having his say ahead of report by Sir David

:04:06.:04:13.

Higgins, which expected to outline revisions to the plan. It says on

:04:14.:04:19.

your document, contact the mayor, you can't stop his pocket money, but

:04:20.:04:25.

you can lobby him. Don't think the mayor's a pubover. I have no

:04:26.:04:31.

personal contact with the mayor. I wouldn't talk about these things.

:04:32.:04:36.

Anything I say via television or the newspapers. That is how it should

:04:37.:04:40.

be. Via the medium of television, what do you have to say to him? OK,

:04:41.:04:47.

I say to the mayor, do give serious thought to the old oak common

:04:48.:04:52.

option. It does make sense. That option of course wouldn't pass so

:04:53.:04:57.

close to his front door. The Labour Party has threatened to ditch the

:04:58.:05:04.

project. Would you vote Labour if they make the right noises. No,

:05:05.:05:09.

there is no way I would vote Labour. We need to encourage Labour to make

:05:10.:05:12.

the right noises and the Conservatives to make the right

:05:13.:05:17.

noises. He knows h ewill be labelled a Nimby, but he won't give up

:05:18.:05:24.

:05:45.:05:49.

decades of disruption. David Higgins takes over on Monday and he will

:05:50.:05:53.

outline how he sees the project developing. He said he can deliver

:05:54.:05:59.

cheaper and more quicker than thought. What does that mean? Some

:06:00.:06:04.

believe the link between HS1 and 2 will be scrapped. But we ups the

:06:05.:06:10.

route `` understand the route is unlikely to be changed. Bad news for

stay dry overnight and be fog`free too as the cloud will increase from

:07:02.:07:07.

western breeze, but in the sunshine temperatures up to 18 Celsius. Will

:07:08.:07:11.

be a good amount of sunshine on Sunday and we could get as high as

18 or 19. It will feel windier than it did, if you remember that
