There are fears tonight that three men from Cardiff who travelled to

:00:22.:00:25.

Syria to fight with extremist groups may have been radicalised here.

:00:26.:00:29.

The three young men left their homes without telling their families.

:00:30.:00:32.

Two of the three have appeared in a recruitment video, thought to

:00:33.:00:43.

have been posted on the internet by the Islamic militant group, Isis.

:00:44.:00:46.

Reyaad Khan, Nasser Muthana and Aseel Muthana, brought up

:00:47.:00:50.

They are now linked to Isis, one of the most violent Islamist

:00:51.:00:56.

Disowned by Al-Qaeda for its brutality.

:00:57.:01:01.

This footage shows Nasser and Reyaad in an apparent Isis propaganda video

:01:02.:01:07.

In it, they are appealing to Western Muslims to join them

:01:08.:01:15.

20-year-old Nasser Muthana, an aspiring medical student,

:01:16.:01:26.

left Cardiff last November, telling his family he was going to

:01:27.:01:35.

left Cardiff last November, a seminar in either Leicester

:01:36.:01:36.

Reyaad Khan is thought to have left at the same time, telling his family

:01:37.:01:41.

he was going to Birmingham for an Islamic conference. Nasser's

:01:42.:01:44.

17-year-old brother Aseel is also thought to be in Syria. He left home

:01:45.:01:47.

in March this year telling his family he was going to a friend's

:01:48.:01:50.

house to revise for a maths exam. Today, a friend of Reyaad Khan's

:01:51.:01:56.

parents said they were shocked when police told them he had left the

:01:57.:01:59.

country. "Can you trace him down and track him down and find

:02:00.:02:02.

bring him back? I don't want my son to end up in the wrong hands and

:02:03.:02:07.

radicalised." But the police and intelligence service told her that

:02:08.:02:09.

by the time we go there, he will be gone from that part. It will be hard

:02:10.:02:14.

for us to track him down. It is three years since Nasser and Aseel

:02:15.:02:24.

at this mosque in Cardiff before moving to others in the city. It is

:02:25.:02:30.

said their views hardened over time. The imam at the mosque

:02:31.:02:33.

believes that they may have been radicalised elsewhere, but in

:02:34.:02:38.

Cardiff. It's not as simple as watching a video. It has to be an

:02:39.:02:44.

indoctrination, a process. People will have had to speak to them. It

:02:45.:02:47.

is believed Nasser and Aseel also attended this mosque in Cardiff.

:02:48.:02:55.

This evening, the BBC can confirm that this well-known Saudi cleric,

:02:56.:02:57.

who is banned from entering Switzerland, preached here two years

:02:58.:03:00.

ago. It is not known whether any of the three men who travelled to Syria

:03:01.:03:07.

were in his audience. Nasser and Aseel's father, Ahmed who does not

:03:08.:03:16.

want to appear on camera, told the BBC he is a broken man. I have not

:03:17.:03:27.

any sign of him to be a hardliner. He was always soft. He likes films.

:03:28.:03:33.

He likes science-fiction films. Aseel was a little bit active.

:03:34.:03:35.

house, he never stayed in one place for more than 10 or 15 minutes. This

:03:36.:03:43.

not the first time fears have been raised about radicalisation in

:03:44.:03:47.

Cardiff. In February 2012, three men, two of them brothers, were

:03:48.:03:53.

jailed for 40 years for plotting to bomb the London stock exchange. It

:03:54.:03:57.

has been months since the young men left Wales, it is unclear

:03:58.:04:10.

An inquest has been opened and adjourned into the death of

:04:11.:04:12.

a three-year-old girl who died in house fire in Carmarthen last week.

:04:13.:04:15.

Angel Jade Keogh's mother, Alice, has been discharged

:04:16.:04:17.

from hospital and the family has thanked emergency services,

:04:18.:04:19.

as well as friends and neighbours for the support they've been given.

:04:20.:04:23.

The BBC journalist Jeremy Bowen has taken to Twitter to raise concerns

:04:24.:04:26.

about his father's care at the University Hospital of Wales

:04:27.:04:28.

On the social networking site, he said Gareth Bowen, who's 84,

:04:29.:04:34.

was not given any food or water in error while

:04:35.:04:38.

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board says it's investigating.

:04:39.:04:46.

Start talking to your loved ones about what happens after your life.

:04:47.:05:08.

That's the message from the Welsh Government. From December next year,

:05:09.:05:10.

the law will change in Wales. We'll We'll have to opt out of donating

:05:11.:05:13.

our organs, rather than opt in donor card, like we do now. Adverts

:05:14.:05:16.

promoting the change are to start Adverts promoting

:05:17.:05:20.

the change are to start appearing Last year, 36 people died waiting

:05:21.:05:21.

for an organ donation in Wales. People are dying for want

:05:22.:05:26.

of an organ. The law is changing and the Welsh

:05:27.:05:31.

government wants us to start From December next year,

:05:32.:05:34.

it will be presumed we are prepared to give our organs when we die

:05:35.:05:38.

unless we decide to opt out. This is a bill which offers hope and

:05:39.:05:41.

hope to people who have no other. It is a big change

:05:42.:05:45.

and it is one which came with The decision to make it took

:05:46.:05:47.

many hours of passionate debate. Wales is the first of

:05:48.:05:51.

the UK nations to adopt an opt out. They won't change the law

:05:52.:05:56.

and practice until the 1st of December 2015, but we know that

:05:57.:05:58.

when you are making an important You need to do a variety of things

:05:59.:06:01.

in order to ensure that all sorts of people have an equal chance to

:06:02.:06:09.

find out about what is happening. That is why the advertising

:06:10.:06:14.

campaign is so important. The Welsh government argues that

:06:15.:06:17.

under the new law there would be 50 more organ donors a year

:06:18.:06:22.

but many are still not convinced and are concerned about

:06:23.:06:25.

the ethics of presumed consent. I'm absolutely in favour

:06:26.:06:32.

of increasing the number of organ But I think the Welsh government's

:06:33.:06:34.

new law is a bad law. It won't work, it has a danger

:06:35.:06:41.

of damaging the organ donation The views of the family will still

:06:42.:06:44.

play an important part in the decision of whether to take

:06:45.:06:53.

the organs of someone who has died. The advertising campaign comes with

:06:54.:06:58.

a message that the law is changing and we ought to

:06:59.:07:00.

start talking about it. There's just a month to go

:07:01.:07:05.

until the start of the 252 athletes will compete for team

:07:06.:07:07.

Wales in each of the 17 sports. And for defending champion

:07:08.:07:15.

Dai Greene, hopes of a medal this time around hang in the

:07:16.:07:18.

balance after a string of injuries. It depends on how well everybody

:07:19.:07:32.

else is running. I will not be in the best shape I have ever been in,

:07:33.:07:35.

that will I be in good enough shape to win a medal? I do know. Still

:07:36.:07:44.

five weeks to go and a lot can change in that time.

:07:45.:07:49.
