Tonight at Ten: A British man inspired by so-called Islamic State

:00:00.:00:07.

is starting a life sentence for the murder of

:00:08.:00:09.

Mohammed Syeedy plotted the killing of Jalal Uddin.

:00:10.:00:16.

The imam's family say they've been left empty by his murder.

:00:17.:00:20.

The fact that he was murdered by someone inspired by IS showed

:00:21.:00:25.

the true nature and barbarity of this organisation

:00:26.:00:27.

Police say the imam was the victim of independent tolerance,

:00:28.:00:37.

Police say the imam was the victim of intolerance,

:00:38.:00:40.

targeted because his Muslim practices were against IS beliefs.

:00:41.:00:42.

Also on tonight's programme: Angela Merkel says the EU

:00:43.:00:44.

is in a critical situation as leaders plan a way

:00:45.:00:46.

Making plans after Nigel - Diane James is elected

:00:47.:00:54.

Why are aid convoys being blocked from entering the Syrian

:00:55.:01:02.

city of Aleppo, despite a four-day-old ceasefire?

:01:03.:01:04.

After 25 years, the mother of the missing toddler Ben Needham

:01:05.:01:07.

has been told to prepare for the worst.

:01:08.:01:10.

And, the Games that keep giving for Great Britain.

:01:11.:01:12.

At the Paralympics in Rio, they win their 50th gold.

:01:13.:01:18.

Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News: Great Britain go 1-0 down

:01:19.:01:24.

against Argentina in the Davis Cup semifinal as Juan Martin del Potro

:01:25.:01:27.

beats Andy Murray in a match of more than five hours.

:01:28.:01:46.

It was a killing inspired by so-called Islamic State

:01:47.:01:50.

Mohammed Syeedy, who's 21, was the getaway driver

:01:51.:01:57.

for a friend, who bludgeoned an imam to death in February,

:01:58.:02:01.

and today Syeedy was sentenced to life at Manchester Crown Court.

:02:02.:02:04.

Jalal Uddin who was 71, was attacked because he practiced

:02:05.:02:10.

Jalal Uddin who was 71, was attacked because he practised

:02:11.:02:12.

a form of Islamic spiritual healing, considered "black magic"

:02:13.:02:14.

The man who carried out the murder, is thought to have fled to Syria.

:02:15.:02:19.

Jalal Uddin came to Britain from Bangladesh in 2002.

:02:20.:02:22.

He lived here illegally but it's said he made a positive contribution

:02:23.:02:25.

The imam sent money home to support his wife and children.

:02:26.:02:31.

They say his murder has left their family empty.

:02:32.:02:36.

Although my father was a Muslim who peacefully practised his faith,

:02:37.:02:39.

he had a love and respect for all religions, cultures

:02:40.:02:42.

and creeds and the fact that he was murdered by someone

:02:43.:02:50.

inspired by IS shows the true nature and barbarity of this

:02:51.:02:53.

This video of Mr Uddin in his white headscarf was filmed secretly.

:02:54.:02:59.

The pensioner's every movement tracked by those

:03:00.:03:02.

It was found on the mobile phone of Mohammed Syeedy,

:03:03.:03:09.

a 21-year-old student and part-time Manchester United steward.

:03:10.:03:12.

Syeedy supported so-called Islamic State.

:03:13.:03:15.

His phone was full of pictures of him making the one-fingered

:03:16.:03:18.

IS salute and holding the group's flag.

:03:19.:03:22.

He worshipped at this Mosque where Jalal Uddin also prayed

:03:23.:03:26.

but the pensioner performed spiritual healing using amulets

:03:27.:03:33.

Syeedy and a friend, Mohammed Kadir, made him their target.

:03:34.:03:39.

Jalal Uddin had eaten a meal with friends and was walking home

:03:40.:03:42.

through this children's park when he was ambushed.

:03:43.:03:45.

Kadir hit him repeatedly on the head with a hammer and then ran off

:03:46.:03:50.

to Syeedy's waiting car, leaving the pensioner

:03:51.:03:53.

bleeding on the floor where he was discovered

:03:54.:03:55.

He fled the country three days later.

:03:56.:04:03.

As the getaway driver, Syeedy has been convicted of murder

:04:04.:04:06.

Mohammed Abdul Rab was the last person to see his friend alive.

:04:07.:04:14.

They ate dinner together every night.

:04:15.:04:16.

Ten past eight and gone, about 20 minutes

:04:17.:04:19.

Jalal Uddin was murdered moments after leaving his house.

:04:20.:04:25.

His friend later had to identify his body.

:04:26.:04:29.

We have two different amulets here, if you like.

:04:30.:04:32.

The practice of spiritual healing is well-known in Islam but it's

:04:33.:04:35.

the first time it's been a basis for murder in Britain.

:04:36.:04:40.

However, it's not the first religiously motivated attack by one

:04:41.:04:43.

The murder in Rochdale is a reflection of what I believe

:04:44.:04:47.

has been happening in the UK and around the world

:04:48.:04:51.

and that is that there is civil war within Islam taking place right now.

:04:52.:04:55.

There are people who have been carrying out the blasphemy law

:04:56.:04:57.

and killing people who they deem not to be Muslim enough.

:04:58.:05:00.

Taxi driver Alan Henning, who was killed by IS in 2014,

:05:01.:05:03.

They went on aid convoys with the same charity.

:05:04.:05:13.

But the jihadist views Syeedy harboured resulted in

:05:14.:05:15.

Mohammed Syeedy shook his head as he was convicted. Tonight he begins a

:05:16.:05:25.

life sentence, he will serve at least 24 years in prison. The family

:05:26.:05:32.

of Jalal Uddin came here to court from Bangladesh they said to seek

:05:33.:05:37.

answers from Syeedy. They said he made the ordeal worse because he

:05:38.:05:41.

showed no remorse or sympathy. They also suffer from the knowledge that

:05:42.:05:45.

the man responsible for the attack, Mohammed Kadir has so far escaped

:05:46.:05:49.

justice. He is believed to be in Syria. And counterterrorism

:05:50.:05:56.

detectives tell me that tonight they do have hopes of tracing him

:05:57.:06:00.

eventually because an international arrest warrant is in place for his

:06:01.:06:02.

capture. Thank you.

:06:03.:06:06.

The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, says

:06:07.:06:08.

the European Union is in a critical situation.

:06:09.:06:10.

She made the warning as EU leaders met in Slovakia

:06:11.:06:13.

to discuss the way forward, following the Brexit vote,

:06:14.:06:15.

She said the EU needed to restore public confidence in its policies

:06:16.:06:22.

on security, fighting terrorism, and the economy.

:06:23.:06:24.

Our Europe editor Katya Adler reports from the summit.

:06:25.:06:27.

Europe's leaders, forging towards a new EU after the shock

:06:28.:06:30.

Well, that was the idea of today's meeting, but as leaders lunched

:06:31.:06:36.

on the Danube River today, the metaphors were all too tempting.

:06:37.:06:40.

The EU is in troubled waters, rather rudderless and keen to steer

:06:41.:06:44.

itself back on a more stable, credible course.

:06:45.:06:48.

Germany's Angela Merkel was resolute.

:06:49.:06:53.

"We need solutions for Europe, we are in a critical

:06:54.:06:57.

What Europe should not do is to continue sleepwalking

:06:58.:07:04.

Everyone here wants the EU not just to survive but to function

:07:05.:07:11.

The problem is, they are deeply disunited.

:07:12.:07:16.

Of course there were disagreements between EU countries before

:07:17.:07:21.

the Brexit vote, the euro and the migrant crisis,

:07:22.:07:24.

but it's the sum total of these events, this perfect storm,

:07:25.:07:28.

that now makes it much harder to paper over those cracks.

:07:29.:07:31.

Central and Eastern Europe want powers back from Brussels,

:07:32.:07:37.

The North views the debt-laden South as a threat to the eurozone,

:07:38.:07:45.

while Mediterranean countries fume about German austerity.

:07:46.:07:48.

But while a powerful German Chancellor used

:07:49.:07:51.

to coax or bully others into line, that's now harder.

:07:52.:07:54.

The migrant crisis damaged her credibility.

:07:55.:07:58.

This evening, as the summit drew to a close, Angela Merkel stood

:07:59.:08:01.

shoulder to shoulder with the French President.

:08:02.:08:03.

But even as they spoke in gushing tones of the summit's

:08:04.:08:12.

constructive spirit, with new plans to defend EU borders,

:08:13.:08:16.

combat illegal migration and reduce youth unemployment,

:08:17.:08:20.

in a press room just next door, this.

:08:21.:08:23.

TRANSLATION: I'm not satisfied with today's discussion

:08:24.:08:27.

about migration and economic growth so there was no way I could do

:08:28.:08:31.

a joint press conference with the German Chancellor

:08:32.:08:34.

I'm not going to simply read words from a script just

:08:35.:08:38.

Consider this, EU leaders had thought employment and migration

:08:39.:08:44.

were subjects they could easily agree on here in Bratislava.

:08:45.:08:47.

They didn't even go near the really difficult topics, like a future EU

:08:48.:08:51.

Britain needs to start those negotiations first,

:08:52.:08:58.

of course, but a deal will need unanimity,

:08:59.:09:01.

with every EU leader on the same page.

:09:02.:09:03.

Katya joins us from the Slovak capital, Bratislava, now.

:09:04.:09:15.

Donald Tusk tonight raised a few British eyebrows when he said

:09:16.:09:21.

Theresa May told him last week she would probably start formal Brexit

:09:22.:09:24.

negotiations this January or February. Now this has not been

:09:25.:09:27.

confirmed by Downing Street. Of course up until now the Prime

:09:28.:09:30.

Minister has remained purposely vague about a start date. Donald

:09:31.:09:35.

Tusk and many of his European partners are impaesht and he tried

:09:36.:09:39.

to use this opportunity to pile on the pressure on the UK. If this

:09:40.:09:44.

sounds he said, she said, just wait until the real horse trading starts.

Ben Needham, who disappeared on the Greek island of Kos 25 years

ago, says she's been told to "prepare for the worst" as police

begin a fresh search It's now thought Ben,

:13:26.:13:27.

who was 21 months old, may have accidentally been crushed

:13:28.:13:31.

by a digger on an island Ben Needham was only 21 months

:13:32.:13:34.

old when he was last seen. For a generation, his family has

:13:35.:13:42.

searched for him. They have even released artists'

:13:43.:13:46.

impressions of him as an adult, The last time I saw Ben,

he was playing where But the police now have a new lead

which forces the family They have to re-examine what may

have happened around this, the family farmhouse

:14:06.:14:10.

where he was last seen. One person on Kos has come forward

:14:11.:14:14.

with information about a friend, a digger driver who was working

:14:15.:14:18.

at a nearby building site The friend claims that the digger

:14:19.:14:21.

driver may have accidentally run If he had come forward 25

:14:22.:14:25.

years before, or the man who did the accident,

:14:26.:14:33.

we probably could have forgiven him. And Ben would have been laid

:14:34.:14:36.

to rest, we would have And of course I would

:14:37.:14:44.

have been angry. The digger driver himself

:14:45.:14:48.

died last year. Locals in Kos have told

:14:49.:14:59.

the BBC they doubt he had But to his mother,

:15:00.:15:02.

the new information feels final. I don't think the police would have

been looking for Ben. My reason for waking up in

:15:20.:15:33.

the morning and dealing with life. The police in Britain and Greece

:15:34.:15:39.

have long had to consider the possibility that

:15:40.:15:53.

Ben Needham is dead. In 2012 South Yorkshire Police

:15:54.:15:55.

officers even came to Kos Ben was last seen here,

around his family's farmhouse. His family has spent more

Kos. Four days after a ceasefire began

:16:12.:16:22.

in Syria, a humanitarian aid convoy is still being blocked from entering

:16:23.:16:25.

the northern city of Aleppo. The US has called on Russia

:16:26.:16:28.

to persuade the Syrian government to allow access,

:16:29.:16:30.

but Moscow is blaming rebel Jeremy Bowen is in Aleppo,

:16:31.:16:32.

from where he's been Where does the truth lying in all

:16:33.:16:49.

this? Is aid getting in? If not, why not, and wasn't that the point of

:16:50.:16:54.

the ceasefire? It was one of the points of the ceasefire, and both

:16:55.:16:58.

sides are blaming each other, as always. The UN has said specifically

:16:59.:17:03.

that the problem is that there are some permissions that the Syrians

:17:04.:17:08.

have to give, and then maybe things can go ahead. You know, the war is

:17:09.:17:12.

still going on here. As I was waiting to speak to you this evening

:17:13.:17:16.

I have been hearing steady artillery fire. That does not necessarily mean

:17:17.:17:21.

the ceasefire is being broken, because not everybody is part of it,

:17:22.:17:25.

but it is a sign of what is going on here, the dangers and difficulties.

:17:26.:17:30.

Part of the problem is that Castello Road, the highway that they would

:17:31.:17:36.

take to come in from Turkey, and that has been a heavily contested

:17:37.:17:42.

area for some time. Fighting between both sides on this very strategic

:17:43.:17:46.

highway. And now there are Russian soldiers up there, who are manning

:17:47.:17:52.

various checkpoints. The Syrians say they have pulled back. The rebels

:17:53.:17:57.

say they have pulled back. The thing about humanitarian access in this

:17:58.:18:01.

war is that it is not just about need. It is about politics and

:18:02.:18:05.

strategy as well, because the Syrians have deliberately besieged

:18:06.:18:11.

areas they want to take control of. And they have stopped food getting

:18:12.:18:16.

in. It has been a successful tactic. It has worked in parts of Damascus,

:18:17.:18:21.

and in different places. They were trying to do all of this in East

:18:22.:18:26.

Aleppo as well, rebel held Easter Aleppo. I think we can only conclude

:18:27.:18:30.

that there are people there who do not want to dial you to their siege

:18:31.:18:36.

of the area at all. -- to die loot their siege of the area. The

:18:37.:18:40.

humanitarian aspects of this are one of the reasons why various rebel

:18:41.:18:43.

groups got involved, even though they thought the deal was letting

:18:44.:18:48.

the asset regime off the hook. I think if they cannot get the

:18:49.:18:53.

humanitarian side of this working, then it is another serious crack in

:18:54.:18:58.

an agreement which already, I think, seems to be deteriorating. Jeremy,

composure and his comb-over. There's been yet more success

:21:34.:21:41.

for Britain at the Paralympics, with four more gold medals so far

:21:42.:21:43.

on day nine in Rio. Paralympics GB are now

:21:44.:21:46.

within touching distance It is a feat worth celebrating.

:21:47.:22:08.

Britain's 50th gold of the games, and in Paul Blake, the happiest

:22:09.:22:11.

history maker. Blake, who has cerebral palsy, took bronze and

:22:12.:22:18.

silver at London 2012, but here, in the 400 metres, it was finally gold.

:22:19.:22:23.

A landmark moment for Blake, who celebrated by throwing his mascot to

:22:24.:22:28.

his mum in the crowd, but also for the entire British team. Having

:22:29.:22:32.

notched up their golden half-century, they simply rode on

:22:33.:22:36.

through, Sophie Christiansen winning her third title here, with another

:22:37.:22:40.

peerless performance. There was also dressage gold for Natasha Baker and

:22:41.:22:45.

the flag bearer at the opening ceremony, Lee Pearson. And another

:22:46.:22:51.

in a sport similar to bowls for David Smith. Britain, passed 50

:22:52.:22:54.

golds and still counting. Some achievement. It was something we

:22:55.:23:00.

only dreamt of at this stage, rather than envisaged, but the dream was

:23:01.:23:04.

big and we wanted to achieve it, so in some ways it feels intensely

:23:05.:23:08.

satisfying. We have converted nearly half of all our medals into gold.

:23:09.:23:14.

And one athlete has contributed more than most. Silver in the relay last

:23:15.:23:20.

night completed an extraordinary Games for Cox. She took four medals

:23:21.:23:26.

here across two sports, athletics and cycling, something no Britain

:23:27.:23:31.

has done since 1988. I never aimed to make history, just to do

:23:32.:23:34.

something different and enjoy it and encourage other people, to let them

:23:35.:23:38.

know they could do things that were bit challenging. I have achieved

:23:39.:23:42.

what I wanted to achieve and I am happy and I just want to sleep now.

:23:43.:23:48.

But it wasn't just a successful day for Britain. In the long jump for

:23:49.:23:51.

visually impaired athletes, the Brazilian athlete leaping for glory.

:23:52.:23:57.

Each athlete is guided into their take-off, and how she took off. Gold

:23:58.:24:06.

for the hosts to cheer. And there has been more successful

:24:07.:24:10.

Britain in the last half-hour. Gordon Reid has won the wheelchair

:24:11.:24:14.

tennis singles event. Hannah Cockroft has won her third

:24:15.:24:18.

wheelchair race title in the 800 metres. That means that Britain has

:24:19.:24:28.

now won 121 medals at these Games, beating the 120 from London 2012.

:24:29.:24:32.

That was their target before they came here and they have done it with

:24:33.:24:34.

more than two days to spare. Last night's storms across parts

:24:35.:24:38.

of England dumped more rain in six hours than had been seen

:24:39.:24:42.

in six weeks. Flash flooding has caused problems

:24:43.:24:44.

on the roads and on the railways, where a train derailed

:24:45.:24:47.

because of a landslide next to the main lines in and out

:24:48.:24:50.

of north London near Watford. The derailed train hit another one

:24:51.:24:54.

coming in the opposite direction, UK City of Culture was created

:24:55.:24:56.

with the aim of bringing communities together and helping artistic talent

:24:57.:25:06.

to flourish, through culture. Will Gompertz has been

:25:07.:25:09.

following the city's progress And he returned to Derry to see

:25:10.:25:14.

if it has delivered the hoped-for Londonderry, nearly three years

:25:15.:25:19.

after it was UK City of Culture. Back then, the snaking Peace Bridge

:25:20.:25:23.

connecting two sides of a divided city was a new landmark symbolising

:25:24.:25:25.

a fresh start. It has been a great success,

:25:26.:25:28.

but what else, if anything, remains in terms of a legacy

:25:29.:25:31.

from Derry's 12 months And I know that some people say,

:25:32.:25:35.

well, is that all it was? If that is all it was,

:25:36.:25:49.

I still think it was great. The promises did not come

:25:50.:25:52.

through in terms of authorities, But this being Derry,

:25:53.:25:57.

I think we're used to that. The city's troubled past

:25:58.:26:03.

is well documented. There is much greater interest

:26:04.:26:06.

in the city and more and more people want to come and experience that

:26:07.:26:14.

whole cultural European regeneration You can see really

:26:15.:26:17.

significant growth. We expected a dip in 2014

:26:18.:26:22.

and this month past, in August, we had the greatest

:26:23.:26:28.

occupancy we have The City of Culture has

:26:29.:26:31.

left a positive legacy. Derry has come up on the map

:26:32.:26:37.

after City of Culture. But there's not a lot of legacy

:26:38.:26:43.

from it, I don't think. Because naturally enough,

:26:44.:26:52.

you will get people coming. Maybe they're wee

:26:53.:26:58.

businessmen themselves. And they're saying, oh, here,

:26:59.:26:59.

this is a nice place. Investment has been made,

:27:00.:27:02.

albeit relatively modest, in this fashion and

:27:03.:27:10.

textile design centre. It's an attempt to fill at least

:27:11.:27:13.

part of the significant economic hole left by the demise of Derry's

:27:14.:27:17.

shirt-making industry. This gallery has seen

:27:18.:27:22.

some investment, too. Its director has some advice

:27:23.:27:25.

for Hull, the next I think you have to think strongly

:27:26.:27:27.

about this issue of legacy. What happens afterwards,

:27:28.:27:34.

what happens to the organisations? What happens to the spaces

:27:35.:27:37.

afterwards that have been realised? What happens to the spaces in terms

:27:38.:27:41.

of the huge amounts of public funds being pumped

:27:42.:27:44.

into them and programmes? They really need to consider

:27:45.:27:47.

in terms of what that Some feel the possibilities created

:27:48.:27:49.

by Derry's year as City of Culture Others, that it has

:27:50.:27:55.

kick-started a new renaissance. Almost all agree that it was time

:27:56.:27:59.

and money well spent. And next Thursday, Will Gompertz

:28:00.:28:04.

will be reporting on the launch of Hull's year as UK

:28:05.:28:11.

City of Culture. That's all from us. Now it's time

:28:12.:28:17.

for the news where you are.
