:00:22. > :00:24.Good afternoon. In the last hour, Sunni jihadists fighting in Northern
:00:25. > :00:28.Iraq say they've captured a strategically important town on the
:00:29. > :00:32.Syrian border. It could allow ISIS militants to move heavy weapons into
:00:33. > :00:36.Iraq. The development comes as Shia militiamen held a huge rally in
:00:37. > :00:41.Baghdad in a show of force designed to intimidate Sunni rebels. The
:00:42. > :00:43.rally was held in the Sadr City district of Baghdad. From there,
:00:44. > :01:00.Sadr City in Baghdad is a Shia stronghold. This is one of the
:01:01. > :01:05.biggest demonstrations organised by Shia supporters for years. A sea of
:01:06. > :01:11.military uniforms worn by young and old, and carrying an Arsenal of
:01:12. > :01:20.weapons, not just automatic rifles but rocket launchers as well. Today
:01:21. > :01:25.there was news that ISIS had made more gains, taking a checkpoint on
:01:26. > :01:35.the border with Syria. We are here to show people that we will defend
:01:36. > :01:43.Iraq. Any people, we will defend them. This is an army that stretches
:01:44. > :01:47.as far as the eye can see, show of force and display of defiance
:01:48. > :01:52.against the threat posed by ISIS. There are not taking their orders
:01:53. > :02:08.from the Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki, but leading Shia clerics.
:02:09. > :02:16.They are chanting Madhi, the cry of Mukhtar al-Sadr. There is growing
:02:17. > :02:29.disillusion with the Prime Minister. One of the signals that he sends in
:02:30. > :02:34.his speech. He wants them to quit. And DUI? Me, too. But this also
:02:35. > :02:38.demonstrated the difficulties in governing this country. Despite the
:02:39. > :02:43.organiser loopholes claim that they presented a united front for all
:02:44. > :02:45.Iraqis, it was a show of force by Shia militia, displaying a growing
:02:46. > :02:51.sectarian divide. Here, it's being claimed that at
:02:52. > :02:53.least 500 British people have travelled to fight in Iraq and Syria
:02:54. > :02:56.by the head of the police's terrorism prevention strategy. Sir
:02:57. > :02:58.Peter Fahy warned that some estimates put the figure even
:02:59. > :03:01.higher. The father of a British student who appeared in an ISIS
:03:02. > :03:19.recruitment video has urged him to Footage of reduced jihadist fighters
:03:20. > :03:26.calling on other Western Muslims to join them in battle in Iraq and
:03:27. > :03:32.Syria. And ISIS propaganda video that can't be verified. Among them,
:03:33. > :03:45.20-year-old Nasser, who had plans to study medicine. In the video,. What
:03:46. > :03:56.is your reaction to that? I want to cry. Why is he doing this? Who led
:03:57. > :04:08.him to go there? Is he going to kill or do anything? He didn't think of
:04:09. > :04:11.the children, women. NASA's father is concerned he may have been
:04:12. > :04:14.radicalised in Cardiff. He says there are figures in the city
:04:15. > :04:22.targeting young men, turning their beliefs into something more
:04:23. > :04:27.sinister. Sir Peter Fahy says they are not only concerned about what
:04:28. > :04:30.happens abroad. What was also interesting from the interview with
:04:31. > :04:33.the father of this lad is that he suspects he was radicalised in
:04:34. > :04:39.Cardiff, so while we are concerned about material on the web, we are
:04:40. > :04:41.also concerned about people who very cynically try to radicalise and turn
:04:42. > :04:47.the minds of vulnerable people here in this country. Ahmed says he has
:04:48. > :04:52.told police about another man in the video who we also believes is from
:04:53. > :04:56.Cardiff. The footage emerged after ISIS tints made rapid advances
:04:57. > :04:59.through Iraq in recent weeks. The Home Office says it is trying to
:05:00. > :05:02.remove the video from the Internet, but the body that represents
:05:03. > :05:08.Internet service providers says this is a tricky area and would be
:05:09. > :05:11.difficult to do. It is understood tracking British jihadists is now
:05:12. > :05:16.the top priority for the security service MI5.
:05:17. > :05:19.The former Labour Cabinet minister, David Blunkett, has warned that the
:05:20. > :05:22.party could be in the "political wilderness" and out of power for 15
:05:23. > :05:26.years if they don't win the next election. Mr Blunkett, who's 67,
:05:27. > :05:30.made the comments after announcing that he's stepping down as an MP
:05:31. > :05:31.next year. Live now to our political
:05:32. > :05:35.correspondent, Carole Walker, at Westminster.
:05:36. > :05:45.Is this a sign of a shift to a new generation? Yes, David Blunkett says
:05:46. > :05:49.he feels it is time for new faces and a clean break with the past. He
:05:50. > :05:55.is someone who really did defy the odds to make it to the Cabinet. The
:05:56. > :05:59.son of a Sheffield gasman, sent to a boarding school for the blind the
:06:00. > :06:04.age of four, yet went on to become Home Secretary, Education Secretary,
:06:05. > :06:07.Work and Pensions Secretary. He says that he does believe that Ed
:06:08. > :06:11.Miliband will lead Labour to victory at the next election, but he then
:06:12. > :06:13.delivered that warning, that if he doesn't do so, Labour could be in
:06:14. > :06:18.the political wilderness for 15 years. David Blunkett doesn't have
:06:19. > :06:23.an entirely unblemished political career. He did have to resign from
:06:24. > :06:29.the Cabinet twice. But his words still carry clout. They will add to
:06:30. > :06:32.the pressure on Ed Miliband. But sources around him as saying that no
:06:33. > :06:36.one could be more focused on the need to win in 2015 then Ed
:06:37. > :06:42.Miliband, and that is what all his energies are focused upon.
:06:43. > :06:46.Harold Walker, thank you. -- Carole Walker.
:06:47. > :06:49.The use of CCTV so-called "spy cars" by councils to catch people parking
:06:50. > :06:52.illegally is to be banned in England. It's one of a number of
:06:53. > :06:54.ideas to stop what ministers call over-zealous parking enforcement
:06:55. > :06:57.practices. But local authorities say the cars, with CCTV cameras attached
:06:58. > :06:59.to them, stop motorists blocking roads and help protect pedestrians.
:07:00. > :07:09.These are the so-called spy cars that ministers want to rein in. The
:07:10. > :07:13.government is stopping councils from using them to catch people parking
:07:14. > :07:19.illegally unless there is a strong safety case for keeping them. What
:07:20. > :07:26.we are announcing is the outlawing of the use of mobile CCTV cameras
:07:27. > :07:29.for parking enforcement going around the streets. Ministers argued that
:07:30. > :07:33.parking enforcement drives shoppers away from the high Street. In
:07:34. > :07:39.Salford this morning, some support for that view. People just park
:07:40. > :07:45.anywhere they want to, and I think it stop the commerce in towns, more
:07:46. > :07:51.than anything else. The car parks are ridiculously expensive. My big
:07:52. > :07:55.issue is bus lanes. Where we come from, people have been just inches
:07:56. > :08:00.into a lane, they have been targeted. In certain areas and
:08:01. > :08:05.certain times, spy cars might be quite good, because it is quite
:08:06. > :08:08.dangerous. The ban on CDTV is one of several new parking reforms.
:08:09. > :08:14.Residents will also be able to demand a review of arcing in their
:08:15. > :08:16.area. Motorists will not be fine if the meter isn't working, and
:08:17. > :08:19.councils will have to publish details of how they spend the
:08:20. > :08:23.income. The Local Government Association says CCTV cameras are
:08:24. > :08:28.only used by a small number of councils, and they often make the
:08:29. > :08:33.roads safer. I think every council wants to make it easier for people
:08:34. > :08:35.to park. What we don't want to do is make it easier for people to park
:08:36. > :08:42.illegally or an conveniently for other road users. Spy cars will be
:08:43. > :08:47.continue to be used outside schools and in bus lanes. Elsewhere, you can
:08:48. > :08:59.still get a fine from a traffic warden. Wayne Rooney and some of his
:09:00. > :09:07.team-mates have apologised to supporters for their performance in
:09:08. > :09:10.Brazil. Going into each game, we had great leaving ourselves, but
:09:11. > :09:14.unfortunately it hasn't worked out. Sorry to all the fans that travelled
:09:15. > :09:20.and at home that we haven't done better. Then, what is the mood like
:09:21. > :09:28.now? Pretty grim in the England camp. They our training in about
:09:29. > :09:34.three hours. Roy Hodgson somehow has to pick his men up. They are pretty
:09:35. > :09:37.demoralised. They have a game on Tuesday against Costa Rica which is
:09:38. > :09:41.effectively a dead rubber, because England are already eliminated.
:09:42. > :09:48.Their earliest exit since 1958 for World Cup tournament. It may be a
:09:49. > :09:51.chance for him to use some of his younger players like Alex
:09:52. > :09:57.Oxlade-Chamberlain. Then, thank you. Gerry Conlon, one
:09:58. > :09:59.of the so-called Guildford four, victim of a miscarriage of justice,
:10:00. > :10:03.has died at the age of 60. You can see more on all of today's
:10:04. > :10:07.stories on the BBC News Channel. The next news on BBC One is at half past
:10:08. > :10:22.six. Bye for now. Good afternoon. It is the summer
:10:23. > :10:28.solstice, the longest Day, the time when the sun is at its highest in
:10:29. > :10:34.the sky, and most of us are feeling the warmth. For most of us, a dry
:10:35. > :10:35.weekend. There are some cloudier zones, and the satellite picked
:10:36. > :10:37.shows a lot of
