:00:00. > :00:12.New details emerge about the British man filmed in an apparent Jihadist

:00:13. > :00:15.recruiting video posted online. It's emerged Nasser Muthana went to

:00:16. > :00:21.Syria with two men who'd been questioned about terrrorist offences

:00:22. > :00:24.earlier this year and released without charge. The

:00:25. > :00:26.police believe at least 500 British people have gone to fight in Syria

:00:27. > :00:35.and Iraq. Also on tonight's programme:

:00:36. > :00:42.Gerry Conlon, wrongly jailed for the Guildford pub

:00:43. > :00:45.bombing in 1974, dies aged 60. And, after crashing out of the

:00:46. > :00:53.World Cup, England try to focus on their final game in Brazil.

:00:54. > :01:01.It is difficult to take, especially the next few days. It will be tough.

:01:02. > :01:15.We have to be strong as a team and be ready for the game on Tuesday.

:01:16. > :01:22.Good Evening. It's emerged that Nasser Muthana,

:01:23. > :01:25.the Cardiff man apparently filmed in a jihadist recruiting video,

:01:26. > :01:27.had travelled to Syria with two men who'd been questioned by British

:01:28. > :01:29.police about terrorist offences earlier this year.

:01:30. > :01:32.They were later released without charge.

:01:33. > :01:34.As Daniel Boettcher now reports, it's believed several hundred

:01:35. > :01:41.Britons are fighting in Syria and Iraq.

:01:42. > :01:48.Nasser Muthana seen in what is thought to be a propaganda video

:01:49. > :01:52.aimed at recruiting jihadists. He appears to urge others to fight in

:01:53. > :01:58.Syria and Iraq. The BBC understand that is two men who travelled with

:01:59. > :02:03.him to Syria were arrested on their return to the UK, but released

:02:04. > :02:06.without charge. Nasser Muthana's father wonders what happens to a

:02:07. > :02:12.young man who he described as quiet and intelligent. A young man who was

:02:13. > :02:19.planning to study medicine. Somebody is driving those kids to do this

:02:20. > :02:22.problem. Ask those to send their daughters and sons to fight. They

:02:23. > :02:25.won't send it. They only send other people's children. Police

:02:26. > :02:28.acknowledge they don't know exactly how many Britons have travelled to

:02:29. > :02:33.Syria or Iraq, but the estimates they have are causing concern. The

:02:34. > :02:37.man who heads terrorism prevention strategy for the Association of

:02:38. > :02:40.Chief Police officers say it's the top priority for the security

:02:41. > :02:46.services and for counter terrorism police. We estimate that there is

:02:47. > :02:50.about 500 people from this country in Syria. Of course the borders are

:02:51. > :02:54.very pour rouse, they could be travelling to Iraq as well. It could

:02:55. > :02:58.be more than that. The concern is not just about the numbers that may

:02:59. > :03:01.be drawn into the sphere of ISIS and other extremist groups in Iraq and

:03:02. > :03:04.Syria, but about what that might mean for any potential threat from

:03:05. > :03:13.those returning to Britain. In Iraq itself, heavily armed Shia

:03:14. > :03:16.militias have held a series of mass rallies in a show of force

:03:17. > :03:18.against the ISIS-led insurgents. The largest was

:03:19. > :03:19.in the Sadr city area of Baghdad. From there, our correspondent,

:03:20. > :03:33.Jonathan Beale, sent this report. They came from near and far to the

:03:34. > :03:41.Shia Strang hold of Sadr city, young and old. -- stronghold. Women too,

:03:42. > :03:46.and armed to the teeth. Arsenal on display from swords with men dressed

:03:47. > :03:55.in white ready for martyrdom, to automatic rivals. Rifles even rocket

:03:56. > :03:59.launchers. With news of more gains by ISIS, there was the key message.

:04:00. > :04:08.They would protect their home from any invader. We are here to show

:04:09. > :04:14.people, on any country of war, we defend Iraq. OK. Iraq own all

:04:15. > :04:20.people, Shias, Sunnis, any people. In Iraq we defend them. This is an

:04:21. > :04:24.army that stretches as far as the eye can see. A show of force. A

:04:25. > :04:31.display of defiance against the threat posed by ISIS. They are not

:04:32. > :04:37.taking their orders from the Prime Minister, Nouri Al-Maliki

:04:38. > :04:41.taking their orders from the Prime leading Shia clerics. They answer to

:04:42. > :04:46.the powerful Shia cleric who made his name fighting the US-led

:04:47. > :04:47.occupation of Iraq a decade ago. That anti-American sentiment

:04:48. > :04:55.gone away, even if President Obama says he won't be sending in ground

:04:56. > :05:02.troops again. This banner reads "no, no America."

:05:03. > :05:13.TRANSLATION: Original our aim was to defend the Shia holy shrines because

:05:14. > :05:17.ISIS wanted to attack them. When the Americans hinted they may return to

:05:18. > :05:21.Iraq these parades were This march ordered. Was also another reminder

:05:22. > :05:27.of how difficult this country is to govern. A show of force by Shia

:05:28. > :05:34.militia that highlights a growing sectarian divide.

:05:35. > :05:38.Let's go live to Baghdad now and join our world affairs editor,

:05:39. > :05:39.John Simpson, who's there. John what's your assessment

:05:40. > :05:54.of the situation in Iraq now? I have been talking to western

:05:55. > :05:57.diplomats and senior people in the Iraqi government, the picture is

:05:58. > :06:03.extraordinarily bleak. The assessment is that the Iraqi army

:06:04. > :06:08.simply can't match ISIS, either for equipment or training or for its

:06:09. > :06:14.offensive capability. There is worse than that. It seems to indicate a

:06:15. > :06:20.kind of curious slowness on the part of the Americans to be of any help

:06:21. > :06:27.to Iraq. 18 months ago the Americans started noticing the growth of ISIS,

:06:28. > :06:32.and warning about it. I'm told authoritatively it was only two

:06:33. > :06:38.weeks ago that proper surveillance, from presumably planes or perhaps

:06:39. > :06:42.from space, began. The Americans started watching ISIS, just as short

:06:43. > :06:49.a time ago as. That there are other problems. There simply isn't the

:06:50. > :06:56.kind of missile capability left in this country. The Iraqi air force

:06:57. > :07:01.ran out of hellfire missiles two weeks ago. The Americans don't seem

:07:02. > :07:11.to be in any great hurry to replace think of Thank you them. Very much.

:07:12. > :07:14.Nine left-wing leaders from across the European Union have

:07:15. > :07:17.agreed to back the former Prime Minister of Luxembourg as

:07:18. > :07:19.the new Head of the EU Commission. It means the appointment

:07:20. > :07:21.of Jean-Claude Juncker is looking increasingly likely.

:07:22. > :07:24.David Cameron has argued strongly against the move, saying Mr Juncker

:07:25. > :07:27.is too much of a Brussels insider to push through reform within Europe.

:07:28. > :07:28.Let's get more from our political correspondent, Chris

:07:29. > :07:36.Mason, who's in Downing Street now. This backing from Mr Juncker

:07:37. > :07:39.significant? It is significant, Nick, here are left-wing leaders

:07:40. > :07:45.supporting a man on the centre-right. Why are they doing

:07:46. > :07:48.that? They say the centre-right bloc of parties performed better than

:07:49. > :07:51.anyone else in the European parliament elections last month.

:07:52. > :07:55.That is why Mr Juncker should get this job. It's becoming increasingly

:07:56. > :07:58.tricky this for David Cameron because he has argued that Mr

:07:59. > :08:03.Juncker per sonifies a European Union that he wants to move away

:08:04. > :08:06.from. He thinks that the EU has become too bossy and too

:08:07. > :08:11.centralised. He wants the opposite of that. The word from here tonight

:08:12. > :08:14.is if at a European summit next Friday there is is a push to

:08:15. > :08:18.rubber-stamp Mr Juncker as the President of the European

:08:19. > :08:20.Commission, Mr Cameron would push for a vote on that. It's a vote he

:08:21. > :08:30.is likely to lose. Many thanks. Gerry Conlon, one

:08:31. > :08:34.of the four people wrongly convicted of the IRA pub bombings in Guildford

:08:35. > :08:37.in 1974, has died at the age of 60. He spent 15 years behind bars

:08:38. > :08:39.before his conviction was quashed. The case of The Guildford Four

:08:40. > :08:45.led to a Government apology. From Belfast, Chris Page reports.

:08:46. > :08:53.Striding to freedom after 15 years in jail for a crime he didn't

:08:54. > :08:56.commit. I've been in prison for 15 years for something I didn't do.

:08:57. > :09:01.Something I didn't know anything about. He and three others had been

:09:02. > :09:06.jailed for life for carrying out the Guildford pub bombings in 1974 which

:09:07. > :09:10.left five dead and dozens injured. 16 years after their release they

:09:11. > :09:16.received a formal apology from the then Prime Minister, Tony Blair. I'm

:09:17. > :09:21.very sorry that they were subject to such an ordeal and such an

:09:22. > :09:26.injustice. I didn't do this. The story was made into an

:09:27. > :09:30.Oscar-nominated film, In The Name Of The Father. Gerry Conlon went on to

:09:31. > :09:35.campaign on behalf of other victims of injustice. A politician and

:09:36. > :09:40.friend paid tribute to his work. He didn't cry about his own situation.

:09:41. > :09:43.He basically set out to make sure that others didn't suffer the same

:09:44. > :09:48.horrible fate that the he had suffered. Mr Conlon's own years in

:09:49. > :09:54.prison haunted him. He suffered from addictions and break downs. When I

:09:55. > :10:00.came out of prison after that length of time, and just blend in with

:10:01. > :10:06.society. It does take a lot of getting used to. And, I really

:10:07. > :10:10.haven't got used to it. I still wake up sweating. After his death at home

:10:11. > :10:19.in Belfast this morning he is relatives issued a statement saying:

:10:20. > :10:28.Mr Conlon's family said they believed he'd changed the course of

:10:29. > :10:38.history. Gerry Conlon,

:10:39. > :10:41.who died today at the age of 60. With the day's big sports news,

:10:42. > :10:48.let's cross to Olly Foster in Rio de Janeiro.

:10:49. > :10:52.Ten days into this World Cup, England can count on one hand how

:10:53. > :10:54.many days they have left in Brazil. They play Costa Rica on Tuesday

:10:55. > :10:58.and will then fly straight home. Today, we heard from Wayne Rooney

:10:59. > :11:01.and how sorry he is to have let down the fans and he also gave

:11:02. > :11:01.the manager his backing. Our corespondent, Natalie Pirks,

:11:02. > :11:06.was with the squad today. The circus is still in town, England

:11:07. > :11:16.are far from the star of the show. The circus is still in town, England

:11:17. > :11:21.Gone are the smiles, the players today issued a plea for fans

:11:22. > :11:25.forgiveness. We're sorry for not going through. We have give

:11:26. > :11:31.everything. We've dedicated our lives to this tournament.

:11:32. > :11:35.Unfortunately, we haven't succeeded. So, yeah, we appreciate everything.

:11:36. > :11:40.Hopefully, in the near future, we will give them something to smile

:11:41. > :11:45.about. Is this the lowest you've felt in football? I suppose it is.

:11:46. > :11:50.I've put everything I've had into this tournament, same as I do in

:11:51. > :11:55.every other aspect of football, but this is ultimately really cruel and,

:11:56. > :12:00.yeah, it's gutting for me. I will be honest. Le It was England's

:12:01. > :12:07.traditional strong suited defending where the real issues lead. Failed

:12:08. > :12:10.by Suarez the look of anguish was a familiar one as England crashed out

:12:11. > :12:15.before a final game could even be played. Roy Hodgson has the honour

:12:16. > :12:20.of having presided over England's worst World Cup in over 50 years.

:12:21. > :12:24.Yet, he retrains the full-backing of his FA bosses. Many have believed

:12:25. > :12:28.for some time that England's problems extend beyond one man.

:12:29. > :12:31.England do not have world-class players. We don't have enough

:12:32. > :12:34.players playing in Champions League. Enough players with European, or

:12:35. > :12:37.international experience. That was shown up quite badly. The

:12:38. > :12:41.international experience. That was scoring his first World Cup goal

:12:42. > :12:47.will forever now be tainted for Rooney. He still believes Hodgson

:12:48. > :12:52.should continue. We appreciate what he's done for us. He's, in my

:12:53. > :12:58.opinion, he has changed the way we play over the last couple of years.

:12:59. > :13:01.You can see the progression. I know the results have been disappointing

:13:02. > :13:05.in the last two games, but, as a team, we can feel we are getting

:13:06. > :13:08.Bert. I feel with the younger lads in the squad, this will help them

:13:09. > :13:13.and hopefully in the future this will make us a better It was team.

:13:14. > :13:16.Years in the planning. The preparation had been meticulous. As

:13:17. > :13:20.so often with England, it didn't take long for that familiar sense of

:13:21. > :13:24.resignation to kick in. This evolving team has to recover quickly

:13:25. > :13:31.though. Qualifiers for the Euros begin in September.

:13:32. > :13:35.We have three matches today and Argentina have reached the last 16.

:13:36. > :13:35.They were given quite a scare as

:13:36. > :13:42.They were given quite a scare a goalless draw, but in the first

:13:43. > :13:43.minute of injury time Lionel Messi's stunning strike settled the match.

:13:44. > :13:48.minute of injury time Lionel Messi's That his second of the tournament.

:13:49. > :13:56.The other game in Group F between Bosnia-Hercegovina and

:13:57. > :13:57.Nigeria kicks off in the next hour. In Group G, Germany came close to

:13:58. > :14:00.a shock defeat agaunst Ghana. In Group G, Germany came close to

:14:01. > :14:03.Asamoah Gyan's goal gave the African side a 2-1 lead in the second half,

:14:04. > :14:06.but Miroslav Klose equalised with his 15th World Cup goal.

:14:07. > :14:08.That equals the tournament record held

:14:09. > :14:18.by the Brazilian striker Ronaldo. Now away from the World Cup,

:14:19. > :14:21.England's Rugby Union team have had a miserable end to their time in

:14:22. > :14:23.New Zealand losing the series 3-0 against the All Blacks.

:14:24. > :14:26.Wales were heading for their first win in South Africa, but

:14:27. > :14:30.the Springboks nicked it 31-30 in the last few minutes of the match.

:14:31. > :14:32.The Wales coach, Warren Gatland, described the loss as "probably the

:14:33. > :14:41.worst" experience of his career. Katie Gornall reports.

:14:42. > :14:48.This was about restoring pride for Wales. They caught South Africa cold

:14:49. > :14:52.with Roberts landing the first blow. Wales appeared a side transformed

:14:53. > :14:58.and for 20 minutes a wave of red washed over the Springbok' defence.

:14:59. > :15:00.After going 17-0 up they self destructed, conceding a penalty

:15:01. > :15:06.After going 17-0 up they self and losing two players to the

:15:07. > :15:11.sin-bin. South Africa played like a runs away train. Wales restored a

:15:12. > :15:15.10-point lead after half time, they couldn't find the breaks. As the

:15:16. > :15:18.seconds slipped away, South Africa launched one final attack. Williams

:15:19. > :15:28.thought he saved the game for Wales, only for the referee to rule his

:15:29. > :15:33.tackle illegal. It meant Wales were denied a historic victory. A cruel

:15:34. > :15:38.end to a long and testing season. England were hoping to avoid a

:15:39. > :15:44.end to a long and testing season. series whitewash. The hopes faded

:15:45. > :15:48.after three minutes. There was a relentless charge to the line by the

:15:49. > :15:53.All Blacks. England were 23 points behind at half time. They limited

:15:54. > :16:02.the damage when Yarde forced his way over. This match was going one way.

:16:03. > :16:11.They were out paced and it was a 17th win in a row for the world

:16:12. > :16:12.champions. England will fly hope perhaps perhaps releaved it's all

:16:13. > :16:18.Cricket now, over.

:16:19. > :16:18.Cricket now, and a maiden Test century from

:16:19. > :16:23.Sam Robson has given and a maiden Test century from

:16:24. > :16:25.in the second Test at Headingley. The 24-year-old -

:16:26. > :16:34.playing only his second match for England - made 127 as England ended

:16:35. > :16:36.the second day 320-6, a lead of 63. In Formula One, Felipe Massa was

:16:37. > :16:39.fastest in qualifying ahead of tomorrow's Austrian Grand Prix.

:16:40. > :16:42.It's a first pole position for Massa since 2008 and a first

:16:43. > :16:44.for his Williams team in two years. Britain's Lewis Hamilton will

:16:45. > :16:46.start the race in ninth. Good news for the Brazilian Massa

:16:47. > :16:49.there. The Brazil team next play on Monday,

:16:50. > :16:51.so there could be plenty of celebrations here over

:16:52. > :16:55.the next couple of days. From Rio, it's back to you, Nick.

:16:56. > :16:55.You can see more on all of today's stories on the BBC News Channel.

:16:56. > :17:09.But from me, for now, good night. There will be more of the same for

:17:10. > :17:11.tomorrow. There
