:00:21. > :00:25.One of Britain's most senior police officers says the war in Syria

:00:26. > :00:29.represents a "long-term" terrorist threat to the UK.

:00:30. > :00:31.The warning comes from the Head of Counter Terrorism for the

:00:32. > :00:37.The identity of a second British man who appeared in a recruiting video

:00:38. > :00:41.for the Islamist extremist group, ISIS has been confirmed.

:00:42. > :00:56.Our security correspondent, Frank Gardner, has more.

:00:57. > :01:08.British jihadists in Syria. They are with ISIS, the most bloodthirsty of

:01:09. > :01:12.all the insurgent groups in the Middle East. Who are these young

:01:13. > :01:21.men? This is Rayeed Khan from Cardiff. This is another 20-year-old

:01:22. > :01:25.from Cardiff, described by his father as a medical student. His

:01:26. > :01:32.friend says he dropped out of college. Here is his brother, just

:01:33. > :01:38.17 years old, from Cardiff or he is described as being quiet. In

:01:39. > :01:43.Cardiff, where there is a large, peaceful Yemeni community, his

:01:44. > :01:50.father told of the effect the actions of his son had on the

:01:51. > :01:53.family. My wife had a nervous breakdown. It is affecting all the

:01:54. > :02:04.family. I'd trust the British authorities. I do not want him to

:02:05. > :02:09.come back in a coffin. Who are ISIS? They match last year having grown

:02:10. > :02:13.out of Al-Qaeda in Iraq. -- they emerged. They have even been

:02:14. > :02:18.disowned by the Al-Qaeda leadership. It makes use of

:02:19. > :02:24.extensive social media. 80% of western fighters who went to Syria

:02:25. > :02:27.are believed to be with ISIS. It is rich with an estimated wealth of

:02:28. > :02:33.more than ?1 billion in cash and assets, taken from robberies,

:02:34. > :02:38.extortion and donations. For now, ISIS is preoccupied with the Middle

:02:39. > :02:41.East where it has taken over town after town in Iraq. Government

:02:42. > :02:49.officials worry about the Britons who go out to join them and then

:02:50. > :02:55.come back. I am afraid we will be living with consequences of Syria

:02:56. > :03:00.from a terrorist point of view let alone the world geopolitical

:03:01. > :03:05.consequences for many, many, many years to come. Is 65 British

:03:06. > :03:11.jihadists have been detained on their return. The authorities will

:03:12. > :03:18.have their work cut out trying to keep track of them. About 10% of

:03:19. > :03:25.foreign fighters get involved with terrorist plots and activities on

:03:26. > :03:30.their return to the west. ISIS continues with its propaganda

:03:31. > :03:31.campaigns. It has a charismatic message which goes mostly

:03:32. > :03:33.unchallenged. In Iraq, rebels from the group,

:03:34. > :03:36.ISIS, are making more gains in They claim to have captured two

:03:37. > :03:41.crossings on the border with Syria Government officials say the town

:03:42. > :03:44.of Rutba, on the main route linking Meanwhile Iraqi government forces

:03:45. > :03:48.have been fighting back, bombing rebel held areas and reportedly

:03:49. > :03:51.killing dozens of people. Our world affairs editor,

:03:52. > :03:53.John Simpson, is in Baghdad. His report contains some

:03:54. > :04:10.flash photography. There are still plenty of Shia

:04:11. > :04:15.volunteers, enthusiastic about heading off to fight ISIS. The

:04:16. > :04:19.security situation is getting decidedly worse. The news came today

:04:20. > :04:25.that four more towns near the Syrian border, west of Baghdad, have fallen

:04:26. > :04:30.to ISIS. That means, for large stretches of territory, the border

:04:31. > :04:36.does not exist. ISIS can flood into Iraq as it pleases from Syria. The

:04:37. > :04:41.Iraqis have had some successes, as these pictures of recent missile

:04:42. > :04:46.strike show. The 300 hellfire missiles they had have now been used

:04:47. > :04:51.up. The Iraqis are complaining bitterly that the Americans are slow

:04:52. > :05:00.about sending them more. When I met the Foreign Minister in Iraq he made

:05:01. > :05:10.it clear they needed outside help. I have requested formally for air

:05:11. > :05:17.power support. Iraq does not have a single fixed wing fighter plane. The

:05:18. > :05:25.Americans themselves only started using spy planes and satellites to

:05:26. > :05:30.track ISIS two weeks ago. They have long known about the threat that

:05:31. > :05:34.ISIS post. The Iraqi army, after its pathetic performance ten days ago

:05:35. > :05:39.when it effectively ran for it, is starting to do a bit better. Now

:05:40. > :05:49.only the most pessimistic people here think that ISIS will be able to

:05:50. > :05:53.capture Baghdad. Now it is a city of blast walls and roadblocks. In the

:05:54. > :05:57.11 years since the British and Americans raided Iraq, I have not

:05:58. > :06:01.seen a worse crisis than less, not even at the height of the sectarian

:06:02. > :06:03.bombings and kidnappings. Now the future of Iraq as a country could be

:06:04. > :06:06.at stake. Police searching for the killer of a

:06:07. > :06:09.Saudi Arabian student in Essex are appealing for information about a

:06:10. > :06:13.man seen in the area where she died. He was wearing

:06:14. > :06:14.a distinctive Italian, designer, beige-coloured jacket, and is

:06:15. > :06:18.described as being in his late teens to 30 years old, with thick dark

:06:19. > :06:21.hair and a tanned appearance. Nahid Almanea, who was 31,

:06:22. > :06:26.was stabbed 16 times as she walked along a footpath

:06:27. > :06:32.in Colchester last Tuesday. Senior members of the Labour Party,

:06:33. > :06:35.including the former leader Lord Kinnock, have been rallying

:06:36. > :06:37.behind Ed Miliband insisting he is the right man to lead the party

:06:38. > :06:42.into next year's general election. The comments came

:06:43. > :06:44.as an opinion poll in the Observer newspaper, suggested less than

:06:45. > :06:49.a quarter of voters approve The former Conservative Defence

:06:50. > :06:55.Secretary, Liam Fox, has backed David Cameron's opposition to the

:06:56. > :06:58.former Prime Minister of Luxembourg Jean-Claude Juncker becoming the

:06:59. > :07:03.next President of the EU Commission. Mr Cameron has made it clear he may

:07:04. > :07:06.force an unprecedented vote Our political correspondent

:07:07. > :07:21.Vicki Young reports. David Cameron insists it is not

:07:22. > :07:24.personal but when it comes to the future of the EU, he does not see

:07:25. > :07:29.eye to eye with the front runner for one of the top jobs in Brussels. I'm

:07:30. > :07:33.not a spokesman of the British Prime Minister. He favours

:07:34. > :07:46.closer time -- he favours closer ties between EU countries. It is

:07:47. > :07:50.feared he would not drive through economic and political reforms. Some

:07:51. > :07:54.Eurosceptic Conservatives think their leader is right to speak out.

:07:55. > :07:58.If his agenda is wrong for the people of Europe and Britain, the

:07:59. > :08:02.British premise that is right to stand up against it. It is so much

:08:03. > :08:07.better to see a Prime Minister willing to fight a battle and take a

:08:08. > :08:12.bloody nose than not to fight at all. To not fight gets us on the

:08:13. > :08:17.juggernaut route to ever closer union. Mr Cameron says the heads of

:08:18. > :08:20.government in Europe must decide. The European Parliament believes the

:08:21. > :08:24.choice should reflect recent election results. Its biggest

:08:25. > :08:36.political group, the European People's party, has put forward Mr

:08:37. > :08:40.Juncker. If the Tories were part of the European People's Party, he

:08:41. > :08:46.could have made that argument at the Dublin summit and he may well have

:08:47. > :08:50.prevailed. He won the election and here it is. Mr Cameron does have

:08:51. > :08:55.some support but he here it is. Mr Cameron does have

:08:56. > :08:58.opponents, including Angela Merkel. David Cameron will tell the

:08:59. > :08:59.president of the European Council here tomorrow that he is willing to

:09:00. > :09:04.force a vote on here tomorrow that he is willing to

:09:05. > :09:06.Juncker. Increasingly, it looks like he will be on the losing side

:09:07. > :09:10.Juncker. Increasingly, it looks like this argument, not a good sign to

:09:11. > :09:15.someone who wants to renegotiate Britain a Prost if membership of the

:09:16. > :09:19.European Union. -- Britain 's membership.

:09:20. > :09:21.The England captain, Steven Gerrard, says he'll take his time to

:09:22. > :09:23.consider his international future following the team's exit

:09:24. > :09:28.He said he was "hurting very badly" and was especially disappointed

:09:29. > :09:30.Live now to our chief sports correspondent,

:09:31. > :09:42.Inquests into England's well cut failures are nothing new. They come

:09:43. > :09:46.around every four years but never perhaps as early as this. Today the

:09:47. > :09:51.squad trained here for the seventh and final time. There is pressure on

:09:52. > :09:56.the two leaders of England, today for the first time since the X it

:09:57. > :10:01.from the World Cup were confirmed. Both the captain and coach talked

:10:02. > :10:07.about their futures. He has presided over one of England 's worst ever

:10:08. > :10:14.World Cup is. The FA has backed Roy Hodgson and the manager explained

:10:15. > :10:19.why he deserved to stay in the top job. The players are a very strong

:10:20. > :10:23.group, a solid group. They are more than accepting of the work we are

:10:24. > :10:27.trying to do. They share our goal, our vision. With the backing of the

:10:28. > :10:33.FA and the people around me, I feel I am the right man to continue. As

:10:34. > :10:37.far as I am concerned, I am recovering from a very bitter

:10:38. > :10:44.experience, a war experience. Two games where I thought we would do

:10:45. > :10:48.better. England 's loss at the hands of Europe by capped image will

:10:49. > :10:58.campaign. Steven Gerrard admitted he is now considering his international

:10:59. > :11:03.future. -- a miserable campaign. Sign that I am still hurting very

:11:04. > :11:08.bad and broken from what has gone on in the last couple of weeks. I need

:11:09. > :11:12.to get away, go on holiday and basically clear my head before I

:11:13. > :11:16.make that big decision. This chastened team and its leader have

:11:17. > :11:22.to pick themselves up for a final game against Costa Rica on Tuesday.

:11:23. > :11:27.Pride is all they have to play for. It has come to something when

:11:28. > :11:30.England treat a World Cup match as effectively a friendly. We Hodgson

:11:31. > :11:35.has said he will pick those members of the squad who have not had a

:11:36. > :11:38.chance against Costa Rica. They can hardly do any worse than the players

:11:39. > :11:42.who lost the first two matches.
