:01:50.:01:53.

citizens are thought to be fighting in Syria, some alongside the

:01:54.:01:56.

militant group Islamic State, formerly known as Isis. Just a year

:01:57.:02:02.

ago it seems Abdel`Majed Abdel Bary was leading a very different life.

:02:03.:02:06.

The now 23`year`old was reportedly in Maida Vale in his family's

:02:07.:02:10.

council home and was making a name for himself as a rapper. This is

believed to be one of his vhdeos believed to be one of his vhdeos

posted on YouTube. He seems to have been a young man much like many

:02:23.:02:27.

other young men in London who connected with friends and was very

:02:28.:02:30.

active in social media and very active in the music scene. He was a

:02:31.:02:35.

crime music rapper and had something of a burgeoning career when he

:02:36.:02:38.

abruptly seems to have pulled the plug and found is land and soon

:02:39.:02:40.

afterwards gone off to Syri` to afterwards gone off to Syria to

fight `` grime. His family background may give some clte as to

:02:46.:02:46.

how he ended up in Syria. His background may give some clue as to

:02:47.:02:50.

how he ended up in Syria. Hhs father is an Egyptian refugee currently

:02:51.:02:54.

facing terrorism charges in America. He was extradited in 2012, `long

:02:55.:02:55.

He was extradited in 2012, along with the radical Muslim cleric Abu

:02:56.:03:02.

Hamza. Backed by demonstrators, including another London prdacher,

:03:03.:03:07.

they fought a long legal battle against extradition. Abdull`h geed

posting pictures of his new life on social media. His background is

:03:18.:03:20.

unique because of his father that more so because of his father's

:03:21.:03:24.

history but we have seen other situations where there are children

:03:25.:03:28.

of quite prominent former extremists or relations of former extremists,

:03:29.:03:31.

and individuals who are rappers showing up in Syria before. Despite

:03:32.:03:35.

warnings to young Britons from the Home Office not to fight in Syria

:03:36.:03:38.

concerns are returning to what happens when or if they return and

:03:39.:03:40.

happens when or if they rettrn and how to prevent those who may have

:03:41.:03:42.

how to prevent those who max have developed radical and violent views

:03:43.:03:45.

from bringing them home to the streets of London.

:03:46.:03:52.

Newsnight's Secunder Kermanh has been looking

:03:53.:03:54.

into British men travelling abroad, to fight with ISIS militants.

:03:55.:03:56.

Secunder ` shocking pictures of Abdel`Majid

:03:57.:03:58.

Abdel Bari ` but he's not the only Londoner out there, is he?

:03:59.:04:02.

That's right. As we heard in the report around 400 British Muslim men

:04:03.:04:07.

report around 400 British Mtslim men from around the country are believed

:04:08.:04:12.

to have travelled to Syria to join the conflict over the past three

:04:13.:04:15.

years. Not all of them have joined this group Islamic State. I was

:04:16.:04:19.

speaking a few moments ago to a British Muslim fighter fighting with

:04:20.:04:23.

another rebel group which is opposed to what Islamic State, or IS, is

:04:24.:04:28.

doing there. It seems a significant portion of those going from Britain

:04:29.:04:31.

and London are joining this group, the Islamic State. One of mx

:04:32.:04:33.

the Islamic State. One of my sources, for example, has told me

:04:34.:04:35.

about a group of eight or nhne about a group of eight or nine

:04:36.:04:39.

British Muslim friends from London who all travelled out to Syria at

:04:40.:04:44.

various stages and reunited in Syria, having joined the Islamic

:04:45.:04:47.

State. I have not spoken to this young man in question here, this

:04:48.:04:52.

latest report, but I have spoken via social media to various other

:04:53.:04:54.

social media to various othdr British Muslim recruits to the

:04:55.:04:56.

Islamic State who have postdd Islamic State who have posted

:04:57.:04:59.

similar photos of them posing in front of decapitated heads or torsos

:05:00.:05:03.

and I asked them about this and they have been totally unashamed about

:05:04.:05:04.

what they have done. They say this what they have done. They s`y this

:05:05.:05:09.

is Islamic justice in action and those people who have been killed

this is Islamic justice in action. Most magician muslins and Mtslims

Most magician muslins and Muslims across the world would totally

:05:20.:05:24.

disagree with that `` most British Muslims. The big question is could

they pose a threat to the UK when they come back. The men I spoke to

:05:28.:05:30.

said they would not return and they come back. The men I spoke to

said they would not return `nd do said they would not return `nd do

that but as the Islamic State expands and across the middle east

and comes into conflict with America that could change. I know it is a

the update. A second man has been charged

:07:35.:07:38.

in connection with a violent burglary which left a University

into his home in Wimbledon. His family say they feared

for their lives. Two men, have been charged with

grievous bodily harm The biggest study

:07:52.:07:53.

of its kind has concluded that being overweight ` increases the risks of

:07:54.:07:58.

developing the most common cancers. Researchers from the London School

:07:59.:08:03.

of Hygiene and Tropical Medhcine have studied the medical records

:08:04.:08:06.

of more than five million adults. They found a link

:08:07.:08:08.

between being overweight or obese The momentum behind London's

:09:00.:09:04.

130 viewings in one session in one place I went to. The prices go

:09:05.:09:08.

sky`high and it is a bit of a war. Two months ago this was the picture

:09:09.:09:14.

` the central area of London glowing red with prices rocketing more than

:09:15.:09:18.

20% a year, areas like Hackney, Southwark and Islington werd

largest amount since April 2008 In March it was predicted that prices

:09:29.:09:32.

would go up by an average 7.4% in the next year, but now a survey

:09:33.:09:35.

offers a much reduced forec`st, a offers a much reduced forecast, a

:09:36.:09:41.

rise of just 1.9%. We have seen is a really big price rises over the last

:09:42.:09:44.

year and we have been saying for some time that that kind of growth

:09:45.:09:49.

is not sustainable. So, in some ways this was news that we were dxpecting

:09:50.:09:53.

to see. I just want to talk through your requirements. Add to that an

:09:54.:09:56.

expected rise in interest r`tes new expected rise in interest rates, new

:09:57.:10:00.

mortgage tests and banks cutting the amount they will lend and more homes

:10:01.:10:04.

coming onto the market. I'm certainly worried about risds in

:10:05.:10:05.

certainly worried about rises in interest rates so I imagine anybody

:10:06.:10:08.

looking to buy a house would be worried as well. You have to ask

:10:09.:10:12.

yourself, where are people getting the extra money to get on the

:10:13.:10:16.

property ladder? Me and my wife have a healthy income but we are finding

:10:17.:10:18.

ourselves priced out compethtively ourselves priced out competitively

:10:19.:10:21.

to buy the property we want where we live. Let's be clear, house prices

:10:22.:10:27.

are still going up, just not as fast. So is this a natural

:10:28.:10:28.

rebalancing of the market? H think rebalancing of the market? I think

:10:29.:10:32.

it is good news, healthy development. What is not good news

:10:33.:10:36.

is a volatile housing market rising at 10% like in London, 20%

:10:37.:10:39.

year`on`year is not sustain`ble I year`on`year is not sustainable. I

:10:40.:10:42.

think this is the beginnings of a more sustainable market envhronment

:10:43.:10:45.

emerging. What about those still looking for big profits? The first

:10:46.:10:48.

time we are being told that London may no longer be the place for rich

:10:49.:10:52.

pickings. We may now have to turn our sites elsewhere. The

:10:53.:10:57.

Metropolitan Police has extdnded our sites elsewhere. The

:10:58.:10:58.

Metropolitan Police has extended its Metropolitan Police has extdnded its

officers to wear body camer`s. Firearm officers will wear cameras

:11:10.:11:12.

that will record footage that Firearm officers will wear cameras

:11:13.:11:14.

that will record footage th`t can be used in evidence. The cameras are

:11:15.:11:17.

being used by 500 offices in London with a pilot scheme running until

:11:18.:11:19.

next year. Scotland Yard saxs with a pilot scheme running until

:11:20.:11:21.

next year. Scotland Yard says it is the biggest trial of its kind. I

:11:22.:11:26.

think the public will see again the pressure, the genuine operational

:11:27.:11:31.

reality, the pressure that our officers are under, so when they

:11:32.:11:34.

arrive on scene the confrontation that they are faced with soletimes,

:11:35.:11:39.

not always, but sometimes from the armed subject, and hopefullx they

:11:40.:11:41.

armed subject, and hopefully they will get a greater understanding of

:11:42.:11:43.

the pressure those officers are under. In London around 20% of

:11:44.:11:48.

workers have been found to be earning less than the London living

:11:49.:11:49.

wage. It's set at ?8.80 an hour `

:11:50.:11:56.

and it's based on the amount an individual needs to

:11:57.:11:58.

earn, to cover the basic costs Karl Mercer reports now

:11:59.:12:02.

on the call from campaigners ` We met this lady at 8:30am `fter a

:12:03.:12:13.

three hour cleaning shift in Govan mound building after watching

several hours there and back to save money. This afternoon she will go

money. This afternoon she whll go back to her second job. For both she

:12:17.:12:21.

gets paid just under the national wage. It is getting very difficult.

:12:22.:12:27.

Everything is rising. The bus, electric, gas, rent, council tax,

:12:28.:12:31.

everything is going up. Excdpt the everything is going up. Excdpt the

:12:32.:12:39.

wages. It is really difficult. It is just common`sense. When everything

:12:40.:12:42.

rises the payments should rise as rises the payments should rhse as

:12:43.:12:45.

well. Campaigners today called for more to be done to improve the lot

:12:46.:12:49.

of people like her. They want businesses to pay more to pdople in

:12:50.:12:51.

businesses to pay more to people in the capital. At the moment the

:12:52.:12:56.

national minimum wage is ?6.31 per hour. The living wage has bden set

:12:57.:12:57.

hour. The living wage has been set at ?8 80 per hour, around ?06,0 0

:12:58.:13:05.

per year for a 35 hour week. Researchers say in 2013 640,000

:13:06.:13:09.

Londoners got less than the London living wage, a rise of more than

:13:10.:13:13.

40,000 on the year before. Without those people London would grind to

:13:14.:13:16.

the halt. We need those cle`ners, the halt. We need those cle`ners,

:13:17.:13:19.

people working in supermarkets, we people working in supermarkdts, we

:13:20.:13:23.

need those porters, all of these people make London work. Unless you

:13:24.:13:25.

are going to make all of that are going to make all of that

:13:26.:13:28.

automated, which is virtually impossible, we need to find a way to

:13:29.:13:32.

make sure that those at the bottom actually get a decent wage to live

:13:33.:13:36.

on. That's what the living wage is. A recent survey by the Institute of

:13:37.:13:38.

A recent survey by the Insthtute of directors in London found three

:13:39.:13:41.

quarters of its members paid their most junior member is more than the

:13:42.:13:48.

London living wage. Campaigners want more firms to follow suit. It would

:13:49.:13:50.

more firms to follow suit. Ht would make a difference because everything

is rising to pounds or something, so they give me ?2 more, at least

It's been a good start to the European Athletics Championships for

:17:24.:17:26.

Great Britain. Three days in, and we've already won four gold medals.

:17:27.:17:29.

Chris Slegg is following the games. Chris, a couple of London athletes

are amongst those making it to the top of the podium.

:19:10.:19:13.

My first senior medal outdoors, so onwards and upwards. Another

terrific story. Where might other medals for London athletes come

from? The semifinals of the women's 200 metres are taking place right

:19:22.:19:26.

now, Dean Asha Philip, an 18`year`old from Orpington, has made

not only did she get the results not only did she get the results

tonight. But never mind, we have a real string of successes for the

athletes, which is great news. I know you offering that very closely,

:20:58.:21:00.

and you're very much. Brought over from ancient Greece,

:21:01.:21:23.

thousands of years ago, the Elgin marbles are top of many tourists's

:21:24.:21:26.

lists, but they are not for everyone. The Parthenon Gallery is

:21:27.:21:32.

one of the British Museum's most famous and popular galleries, but it

:21:33.:21:35.

is not exactly the most child friendly. There are no bright

:21:36.:21:38.

colours here, or things to engage with, so the hope is that this app

:21:39.:21:43.

can change this, by giving children a fun and slightly competithve way

this game, we said we have to match the silhouette to the correct

:21:55.:22:03.

children around the exhibition. We point the device to it, and the

sculpture comes to life, and we get some information. At the minute, we

With this game, we have created but it is very adult orientated.

:22:13.:22:14.

With this game, we have cre`ted a child friendly version of that text,

:22:15.:22:18.

and obviously with a game now, I think children are more inclined to

:22:19.:22:23.

the plate and to learn about it than if it is just the sculptures and the

:22:24.:22:26.

normal museum environment they have had in the past. We use the

more than just a way to keep the kids entertained? The company behind

this want to use their technology to change the way we all inter`ct with

already eyeing up other places in where this could work. Perh`ps the

:23:05.:23:06.

where this could work. Perhaps the days of the audio guide are

numbered. Every day around 060 households in London are at risk of

in a little over an hour. That is Lewisham, just by the fire station.

:24:46.:24:49.

Let's take a look at the we`ther forecast, incredible, that, within

such a short space of time, so much rain.

:25:23.:25:25.

Nevertheless, we had some flooding issues, and there could well be a

:25:26.:25:29.

fume showers to come into night. Some showers at the moment `round

:25:30.:25:32.

Oxford, they will be blowing towards London over the next couple of

:25:33.:25:36.

hours, so we could well see another or two before the night is done. The

:25:37.:25:40.

second half of the night looks tricolour temperatures like last

:25:41.:25:43.

night. Better news for tomorrow pressure begins to build a little

:25:44.:25:46.

bit, though I can't promise it will be bone dry. There will be far fewer

:25:47.:25:51.

showers around, so we start the day probably on a drying out with sunny

:25:52.:25:55.

spells. A bit of cloud building as we go through the day, and towards

:25:56.:25:59.

the evening time. That is when the peak risk of a few showers hs.

take the areas of blue to lhterally, the risk is really the whole of the

Greater London area. But thdre the risk is really the whold of the

:26:06.:26:06.

Greater London area. But there will be a lot of us to have a drx day.

:26:07.:26:11.

Temperature wise, 22 degrees or so in the capital. The weekend, not a

:26:12.:26:20.

bad start things really. It should be a dry day on Saturday with bright

:26:21.:26:23.

sunny spells, still a coolish breeze blowing and temperatures in the low

:26:24.:26:25.

20s, but as we head to the afternoon, things will cloud over.

:26:26.:26:29.

Temperatures should live to around 22 degrees, similar to what we will

:26:30.:26:33.

have tomorrow. From there on it is a slowdown would process. On Sunday,

:26:34.:26:37.

an area of low pressure pushes its way southwards. We get some cool and

:26:38.:26:40.

fresh air, we could see somd fresh air, we could see some

:26:41.:26:42.

isolated showers from that `s fresh air, we could see somd

:26:43.:26:43.

isolated showers from that as well, isolated showers from that `s well,

:26:44.:26:45.

and then next week it looks like it could be cooler still. So summer is

could be cooler still. So stmmer is definitely on hold for the time
