:00:40. > :01:07.the defence of his Wimbledon crown. One of Britain's most senior police
:01:08. > :01:09.officers has told the BBC that the war
:01:10. > :01:12.in Syria represents a "long-term" terrorist threat to the UK.
:01:13. > :01:14.The warning comes from the Head of Counter Terrorism for the
:01:15. > :01:17.Metropolitan Police, Cressida Dick. The identity of a second British man
:01:18. > :01:22.who appeared in a recruiting video for the Islamist extremist group,
:01:23. > :01:25.ISIS, has been confirmed. He's Rayeed Khan from Cardiff,
:01:26. > :01:27.who once hoped to become Britain's first Asian Prime Minister.
:01:28. > :01:28.Our first report tonight is from our Security Correspondent,
:01:29. > :01:34.Frank Gardner. A lot of people think it is just to
:01:35. > :01:39.put this flag over their building. British jihadists in Syria. They are
:01:40. > :01:42.with ISIS, the most violent and blood-thirsty of all the insurgent
:01:43. > :01:47.groups in the Middle East. But who are these young men, calling out for
:01:48. > :01:52.other Britons to join them? This is Reyaad Khan, 20, from Cardiff, said
:01:53. > :01:57.to have been a stewedous pupil who loved sport. On his Facebook page he
:01:58. > :02:01.said he wanted to be Britain's first Asian Prime Minister. And this is
:02:02. > :02:04.Nasser Muthana, a another 20-year-old from Cardiff, described
:02:05. > :02:13.by his father as a medical student, although his friends says he dropped
:02:14. > :02:18.out of college. Here is his brother, Aseel mouth mouth, 17, from Cardiff,
:02:19. > :02:23.described as being quiet. In their home town, this has shocked the
:02:24. > :02:26.sizeable Yemeni community. For the families themselves, news of what
:02:27. > :02:30.their sons have done has been heartbreaking. The father spoke out,
:02:31. > :02:36.while keeping his face hidden for fear of reprisals. My wife, first
:02:37. > :02:41.when we heard Nasser was gone, she has had a nervous breakdown and is
:02:42. > :02:45.crying ever since. It is affecting all the family. I trust the British
:02:46. > :02:49.authorities. I'm not concerned about the authorities, I'm concerned about
:02:50. > :02:55.his life there. Who are ISIS? The group emerged last year having grown
:02:56. > :03:00.out of Al-Qaeda in Iraq. ISIS has a reputation for such extreme
:03:01. > :03:04.brutality that it's even been disowned by Al-Qaeda's leadership.
:03:05. > :03:09.The group makes extensive use of social media. 80% of Western
:03:10. > :03:13.fighters that have gone to Syria are believed to be with ISIS and it is
:03:14. > :03:20.rich, with an estimated wealth of more than ?1 billion in cash and
:03:21. > :03:23.assets taken from robberies, he can tors and donations. For now ISIS is
:03:24. > :03:27.preoccupied with the Middle East where it is taking over town after
:03:28. > :03:30.town in Iraq but Government officials here worry about those
:03:31. > :03:35.Britons who go out to join them and then come back. I'm afraid, I
:03:36. > :03:40.believe, that we will be leaving with the consequences of Syria from
:03:41. > :03:44.a terrorist point of view, for many years to come.
:03:45. > :03:47.But the former head of counter-terrorism at MI6 says this
:03:48. > :03:52.much-talked about-threat needs to be kept in proportion. By no means will
:03:53. > :03:56.all people coming back even dream of committing a terrorist attack. Some
:03:57. > :04:01.of those may think about it and not do it, and then there will be the
:04:02. > :04:07.very, very few who think - I'm going to carry on the fight and I'll carry
:04:08. > :04:11.on the fight at home. Around 500 British jihadists have gone to join
:04:12. > :04:15.units like this one in Syria mostly with ISIS. Of those, around half are
:04:16. > :04:18.believed to have come back to Britain Academic research show
:04:19. > :04:22.abouts 10% of foreign fighters get involved with terrorist activities
:04:23. > :04:26.and plots when they come back to Europe or the west. Meanwhile, ISIS
:04:27. > :04:30.continues its propaganda campaign with videos like these, reaching out
:04:31. > :04:35.to impressionable young men to join them with the car asthmatic message
:04:36. > :04:40.that has yet to be effectively challenged.
:04:41. > :04:44.-- charismatic. In Iraq the rebels from ISIS are continuing to make
:04:45. > :04:48.more gains in the north and west of the country. They claimed to have
:04:49. > :04:53.captured two crossings on the border with Syria and jr Dan, leaving
:04:54. > :04:58.Iraq's Government with no control of its borders. Officials say the
:04:59. > :05:03.touven Rutba, linking Jordan and Baghdad has fallen. John Simpson is
:05:04. > :05:05.in Baghdad and his report contains flash photography.
:05:06. > :05:11.The heart of political power in Iraq. What used to be called the
:05:12. > :05:15.green zone. Senior politicians and diplomats here have been struggling
:05:16. > :05:20.to come to terms with the speed and ferocity of the ISIS attack. And
:05:21. > :05:27.their reaction is disturbingly bleak.
:05:28. > :05:31.There are still plenty of Shia volunteer e enthusiastic about
:05:32. > :05:35.heading off to fight ISIS but the security situation here is getting
:05:36. > :05:40.decidedly worse. The news came today that four more
:05:41. > :05:44.towns here the Syrian border, west of Baghdad, have fallen to ISIS.
:05:45. > :05:49.That means that for large stretches of territory, the border doesn't
:05:50. > :05:54.exist. ISIS can flood into eye rock as it pleases from Syria.
:05:55. > :06:01.The Iraqis have had some successes, as these pictures of recent missile
:06:02. > :06:06.strikes show. But the 300 hellfire missiles they had, have now been
:06:07. > :06:10.used up. The Iraqis are complaining bitterly that the Americans are slow
:06:11. > :06:15.about sending them more. When I met Iraq's Foreign Minister,
:06:16. > :06:22.he made it clear they needed outside help. I have requested formally from
:06:23. > :06:30.the United States, for airpower support. Iraq doesn't have an Air
:06:31. > :06:35.Force. Iraq doesn't have a single fixed wing fighter plane. What's
:06:36. > :06:40.more, the Americans themselves only started using spy planes and
:06:41. > :06:46.satellites to track ISIS two weeks ago. Though they've long-known about
:06:47. > :06:51.the threat that ISIS posed. The Iraqi Army, after its pathetic
:06:52. > :06:57.performance ten days ago, when it effectively ran for it, is starting
:06:58. > :07:01.to do a bit better. And now, only the most pessimistic people here
:07:02. > :07:06.think that ISIS will be able to capture Baghdad. Nowadays this is a
:07:07. > :07:12.city of blast walls and roadblocks, but in the 11 years since the
:07:13. > :07:17.British and Americans invaded Iraq, I haven't seen a worse crisis than
:07:18. > :07:24.this. Not even at the height of the sectarian bombings and kidnappings.
:07:25. > :07:37.Now Iraq's future as a country could be at stake. More now from Frank
:07:38. > :07:41.Gardner who is in the studio. How much of a threat, if they return to
:07:42. > :07:44.the UK r these Britons who are currently fighting in Syria and
:07:45. > :07:48.Iraq? Let's break this down. For Iraq ISIS presents an existential
:07:49. > :07:52.threat as John Simpson referred to. I think they are a threat to Jordon
:07:53. > :07:55.next door. They are probably going to try to consolidate the ground
:07:56. > :07:58.they have taken in which case potentially it becomes a springboard
:07:59. > :08:03.for attacks on this country and others, potentially in the way that
:08:04. > :08:08.Afghanistan was under the Taliban from 96 to 2001. What is worrying
:08:09. > :08:12.people here is the constant flow of young, impressionable, radicalised
:08:13. > :08:14.Britons who are going out from this country to Syria. Most of them
:08:15. > :08:18.cropping back and not doing anything. So the numbers are still
:08:19. > :08:24.relatively small. But historically, one in nine people who've gone out
:08:25. > :08:28.to fight jihad in places like Bosnia, somalia, Chechnya,
:08:29. > :08:33.Afghanistan v come back and got involved in domestic terrorism back
:08:34. > :08:37.home. -- have come back. If you take 500 Britons that have gone out
:08:38. > :08:40.there. They are extrapolating from that that there is a fairly good
:08:41. > :08:45.chance that somebody on an individual basis will do something.
:08:46. > :08:47.Is there a big plot I'm aware of for ISIS to attack this country at the
:08:48. > :08:56.moment? Not that I'm aware of. Downing Street has called
:08:57. > :08:59.on the European Union to delay its decision on who'll become the next
:09:00. > :09:02.president of the EU Commission. No 10 says a consensus must be
:09:03. > :09:04.reached, as David Cameron attempts to block the appointment
:09:05. > :09:06.of the former Prime Minister of Luxembourg, Jean-Claude Juncker.
:09:07. > :09:09.Here's our Political Correspondent Vicki Young.
:09:10. > :09:14.David Cameron insists it's not personal but when it comes to the
:09:15. > :09:19.future of the EU, he doesn't see eye-to-eye with the frontrunner for
:09:20. > :09:22.one of the top jobs in Brussels. I'm not the spokesman of the British
:09:23. > :09:27.Prime Minister. Jean-Claude Juncker, the former Prime Minister of
:09:28. > :09:31.Luxembourg favours closer ties between EU countries, while Mr
:09:32. > :09:35.Cameron wants the UK to seize powers back from Brussels. He fear Mrs
:09:36. > :09:41.Juncker wouldn't drive through economic and political reforms. --
:09:42. > :09:43.he fears Mr Juncker. Some eurosceptic Conservatives think
:09:44. > :09:47.their leader is right to speak out If the junction junk agenda is wrong
:09:48. > :09:51.for the people of Europe, including the people of Britain, the British
:09:52. > :09:56.Prime Minister is right it stand up against it. He may not win a battle
:09:57. > :10:00.but it is so much better than see a Prime Minister to fight a battle and
:10:01. > :10:04.take a bloody nose, than not to fight. Now the President is chosen
:10:05. > :10:07.is also contentious. Mr Cameron says Europe's heads of governments should
:10:08. > :10:11.dead side but the European Parliament believes the choice
:10:12. > :10:14.should reflect recent election results so its biggest group, the
:10:15. > :10:17.European People's Party has put forward Mr Juncker. The
:10:18. > :10:22.Conservatives left this group a few years ago. If the Tories were part
:10:23. > :10:29.of the European People's Party, he could have made that argument at the
:10:30. > :10:34.Dublin summit of EPP when EPP chose his candidate. He may well have
:10:35. > :10:38.prevailed. Mr Cameron has some support but he has more opponents,
:10:39. > :10:41.including Germany's Chancellor Merkel. David Cameron will tell the
:10:42. > :10:45.President of the European Council here tomorrow that he's willing to
:10:46. > :10:49.force a vote on the issue of Mr Juncker, but increasingly, it looks
:10:50. > :10:54.like he will be on the losing side of this argument. Not a good sign
:10:55. > :10:57.for someone who wants to renegotiate Britain's membership of the European
:10:58. > :11:00.Union. After the recent surge in support for eurosceptic parties, Mr
:11:01. > :11:05.Cameron probably thought the fight over Mr Juncker was won he could
:11:06. > :11:12.win, but Labour say he's badly misjudged negotiations.
:11:13. > :11:15.Police searching for the killer of a Saudi Arabian student in Essex
:11:16. > :11:18.are tonight appealing for information about a man seen
:11:19. > :11:20.in the area where she died. The man was wearing
:11:21. > :11:23.a distinctive Italian designer, beige-coloured jacket, and is
:11:24. > :11:26.described as being in his late teens to 30 years old, with thick dark
:11:27. > :11:29.hair and a tanned appearance. Nahid Almanea who was 31,
:11:30. > :11:30.was stabbed 16 times as she walked along a footpath
:11:31. > :11:39.in Colchester last Tuesday. Labour has announced it will pause
:11:40. > :11:42.the introduction of the Government's Universal Credit scheme
:11:43. > :11:45.for three months, if it wins the next general election.
:11:46. > :11:47.The party said in principle it supported the programme to merge
:11:48. > :11:51.six working-age benefits into one payment, but it might scrap the
:11:52. > :11:59.plans completely if a review found the costs outweighed the benefits.
:12:00. > :12:07.Now with all the sport, live to Rio and join Ollie Foster who is there.
:12:08. > :12:12.Hi there. Thank you Clive:.
:12:13. > :12:15.the costs outweighed the benefits. I've got some goals to show you
:12:16. > :12:17.in a moment. England will no doubt be envious
:12:18. > :12:20.because we've seen another side qualify for the last 16.
:12:21. > :12:23.Roy Hodgson's squad trained here in Rio today before they travel to
:12:24. > :12:26.Belo Horizonte tomorrow for their final World Cup game on Tuesday.
:12:27. > :12:29.We heard from Stephen Gerrard, but the future of the England captain is
:12:30. > :12:32.still unclear, not so the manager who is determined to lead England to
:12:33. > :12:32.the next major tournament. Here's our
:12:33. > :12:42.Chief Sports Correspondent Dan Roan He's presided over one of England's
:12:43. > :12:46.worst-ever World Cups. Despite that, the FA have backed Roy Hodgson and
:12:47. > :12:50.today the manager explained why he deserved to stay in the top job. I
:12:51. > :12:57.think that the players are a very, very strong group. A solid group. I
:12:58. > :13:01.believe that they are more an accepting of the work we are trying
:13:02. > :13:06.to do, that they share our goals and our vision and as a result, with the
:13:07. > :13:10.backing of the FA and of the people around me, I feel I'm the right man
:13:11. > :13:17.to continue. As far as I'm concerned, I'm recovering from a
:13:18. > :13:22.very bitter, raw experience. Two games where I thought we would do
:13:23. > :13:28.better. England's loss at the hands of Uruguay capped a miserable
:13:29. > :13:31.campaign for England's players, despite months of meticulous
:13:32. > :13:37.preparation. Today England deserted this, their spectacular training
:13:38. > :13:41.base, having got to use it just a handsful of times. It's this early
:13:42. > :13:48.exit that has put pressure not just on the manager, but the captain,
:13:49. > :13:51.too. The third most capped player in his country's history, Steven
:13:52. > :13:54.Gerrard admits he is now considering his international future. I don't
:13:55. > :13:59.feel it is right to make a decision now or in a week's time. I'm still
:14:00. > :14:03.hurting very ba.d I'm broken from what has gone on over the last
:14:04. > :14:08.couple of weeks. -- very bad. I need to get away, get on holiday
:14:09. > :14:13.and basically clear my head before I make that big decision. This
:14:14. > :14:18.chasened team and its leader now have to somehow pick themselves up
:14:19. > :14:20.for final game against Costa Rica on Tuesday. Pride now all they have to
:14:21. > :14:30.play for. Roy Hodgson's predecessor,
:14:31. > :14:33.Fabio Capello, was here in Rio today with his team Russia.
:14:34. > :14:35.They lost to Belgium 1-0 at the Maracana Stadium.
:14:36. > :14:38.The teenage substitute, Divouk Origi, with the winner in the
:14:39. > :14:50.last couple of minutes to send the Belgians through to the last 16.
:14:51. > :14:52.16. Russia now have to beat Algeria to have any chance of progressing.
:14:53. > :14:56.The Desert Foxes secured their first World Cup win in 32 years.
:14:57. > :14:58.They won 4-2 against South Korea in Porte Allegro.
:14:59. > :15:01.Away from the World Cup now. Formula One returned to Austria
:15:02. > :15:03.for the first time in 11 years, and there was another Mercedes 1-2,
:15:04. > :15:05.the sixth this season. Nico Rosberg beat Lewis Hamilton
:15:06. > :15:07.into second, extending his Championship lead over
:15:08. > :15:11.his teammate to 29 points. To cricket and with two more days to
:15:12. > :15:14.play in the Second Test between England and Sri Lanka
:15:15. > :15:17.at Headingly, it's finely balanced. The tourists bowled England out
:15:18. > :15:21.for 365 and then reached 214-4 by the close.
:15:22. > :15:26.Kumar Sangakkara made a half century before being trapped by Moeen Ali.
:15:27. > :15:29.Mahela Jayawardene will resume tomorrow unbeaten on 55
:15:30. > :15:36.in their second innings, helping Sri Lanka to a 106 run lead.
:15:37. > :15:40.Wimbledon begins tomorrow. First up on
:15:41. > :15:44.Centre Court Andy Murray, who starts the defence of his title
:15:45. > :15:45.against Belgium's David Goffin. Katherine Downes reports
:15:46. > :15:52.from the All England Club. Last year Andy Murray answered the
:15:53. > :15:58.biggest question in British tennis - will we ever have a home-grown
:15:59. > :16:03.Wimbledon champion? COMMENTATOR: The waiting is over.
:16:04. > :16:09.That, though, gives rise to another inevitable question - can he do it
:16:10. > :16:14.again? Andy Murray is the Wimbledon champion. I expect to be nervous. I
:16:15. > :16:18.expect to feel the pressure as I'm sort of going towards the court. I
:16:19. > :16:24.hope when I walk out there, you know, that I can enjoy it for a few
:16:25. > :16:27.moments and then, you know, like most nerves and stuff, once you
:16:28. > :16:31.actually get out there, after the first couple of games, you start to
:16:32. > :16:36.settle into the match. The All England Club is familiar ground to
:16:37. > :16:39.Murray but there is a new coach on the practise courts. Amelie Mauresmo
:16:40. > :16:43.herself knows the sweetness of success here. As a coach she's
:16:44. > :16:48.taking a laid-back approach. He knows how to polyon this surface.
:16:49. > :16:53.I'm trying to add a few things here and there but I'm not going to teach
:16:54. > :16:57.him how to play tennis. Obviously we are past this point.
:16:58. > :17:01.Most of us won't remember the last time a British champion defended his
:17:02. > :17:05.title here at Wimbledon. Andy Murray has already said he will be feeling
:17:06. > :17:09.very nervous walking out on court here tomorrow but he will take some
:17:10. > :17:13.comfort from the advice of those who have done it many times before. For
:17:14. > :17:18.Andy the pressure was to win it the first time. It hasn't been done
:17:19. > :17:21.since Fred Perry. He can relax about that. Can he win it again?
:17:22. > :17:25.Absolutely. Will he do it this year? Maybe. Maybe next year. He still
:17:26. > :17:29.have five, six great years left. Chances are we will win it again.
:17:30. > :17:34.There is no ignoring the fact that form and fortune haven't been on
:17:35. > :17:37.Murray's side this year in the way they were 12 months ago but tomorrow
:17:38. > :17:40.the memories and the British public will be waiting on Centre Court and
:17:41. > :17:50.that's likely to be a powerful combination.
:17:51. > :17:53.You will be able to catch all the Wimbledon tennis across the BBC for
:17:54. > :17:57.the next fortnight. Will you believe it? There are three more weeks to go
:17:58. > :18:02.before the World Cup final right here. . Back to you.
:18:03. > :18:04.Many thanks. That's it. Stay with us on
