:00:00. > :00:22.Good evening. A couple have become the first to marry at a Church of

:00:23. > :00:28.Scientology Chapel in England` after winning a legal challenge at the

:00:29. > :00:30.Supreme Court. Louisa Hodkin and Alessandro Kalcholee fought the case

:00:31. > :00:33.because officials refused to recognise their church in

:00:34. > :00:36.Blackfriars as a place for marriage. As Marc Ashdown reports, it could

:00:37. > :00:42.have far reaching implications. It is a few small steps for this

:00:43. > :00:49.couple, but a giant leap for Scientology. The couple's long

:00:50. > :00:53.journey could be the first of many. Just ecstatic, a bit speechless and

:00:54. > :00:59.so happy. They were refused a licence to get married at the

:01:00. > :01:04.Scientology chapel in London, a court ruling said services were not

:01:05. > :01:09.acts of worship. But in December five judges overturned that. Here is

:01:10. > :01:15.why. We do not accept that a religion necessarily involves belief

:01:16. > :01:20.in a supreme deity. So God may not have been invited but in the eyes of

:01:21. > :01:25.their believest beliefs and the law, they are married. It is about more

:01:26. > :01:33.than one couple's marriage, the chuff funded their `` church funded

:01:34. > :01:39.their local battle and they know the reward of being recognised as a

:01:40. > :01:44.religion. They can have tax relief. It is the thin end of the wedge the

:01:45. > :01:50.next stage will be to convince the Charity Commission that they are not

:01:51. > :01:57.just a religion, but a religion with a public utility, a that the next

:01:58. > :02:03.stage will be asking for equal time of thought of the day on the Today

:02:04. > :02:09.programme. Or taking part in interfaith services. That sits

:02:10. > :02:19.uncomfortably with those who regard it as a cult. Hollywood backers gain

:02:20. > :02:27.theheadlines, but this couple could be ass important. `` could be as

:02:28. > :02:30.important. Teenage girls at risk of getting involved with gangs in north

:02:31. > :02:33.London are being taught about making better choices in life` through

:02:34. > :02:36.helping run a business. A nail salon's been set up for them in High

:02:37. > :02:39.Barnet` where they're being offered training and support. Emilia

:02:40. > :02:44.Papadopoloss has more. I'm not ready for much to do. This is quite good.

:02:45. > :03:00.Its not your average nail bar, it is run by teenagers. It was set up by

:03:01. > :03:06.the department. I used to be rowdy. But I'm still not rowdy, but not as

:03:07. > :03:11.rowdy any more. Do you think the place has helped? Yes, they talk to

:03:12. > :03:17.you. I come here and tell them about stuff and they give me advice.

:03:18. > :03:22.Tucked away by the flats the salon provides a warm and safe haven.

:03:23. > :03:28.Perhaps they have a family member in prison or they have seen something

:03:29. > :03:33.and their environment and it is about supporting them and reducing

:03:34. > :03:38.the risks that can lead to their involvement in crime. It is not hard

:03:39. > :03:43.to see why many teenagers are susceptible to a life of crime. The

:03:44. > :03:49.unemployment rate is at its highest for 20 years and during the London

:03:50. > :03:56.riots nine of the 12 residents convicted lived on this estate.

:04:12. > :04:21.simple idea like this is a good place to start. The The oldest known

:04:22. > :04:27.Holocaust survivor has died at the age of 110. Alice Herz`Sommer lived

:04:28. > :04:30.in north London. Her remarkable survival story has been featured in

:04:31. > :04:37.a documentary` nominated for an Oscar next weekend. Let's get the

:04:38. > :04:42.weather now with Elizabeth Rizzini. Dry tonight with temperatures of

:04:43. > :04:48.seven or eight degrees. Some rain pushing in tomorrow. Next week

:04:49. > :04:54.staying mild, but unsettled and windy at times. That's it from us.

:04:55. > :04:57.We'll be back tomorrow morning with our breakfast bulletins. For now

:04:58. > :05:06.though have a very good night. Goodbye.

:05:07. > :05:12.Hello, there has been a lot of rain this weekend in western Scotland.

:05:13. > :05:20.River levels have been rising. We have got more rain on the way. It

:05:21. > :05:24.has been wet in the Lake District and it is still raining here. The

:05:25. > :05:29.rain pushes into Wales and the South West later. Brisk southerly winds

:05:30. > :05:33.that will ease, apart from the far north-west, nowhere cold. Tomorrow,

:05:34. > :05:40.many places will see an improvement. It won't be as windy and that rain

:05:41. > :05:45.band will peter out. We start with a broad band of rain. As it tracks

:05:46. > :05:48.eastwards the rain becomes light and patchy and following that. We get

:05:49. > :05:53.sunshine and maybe some showers For a while there could be some sharp

:05:54. > :05:58.showers in Scotland, but with lighter winds it shouldn't feel too

:05:59. > :06:02.bad. We will see showers in Northern Ireland. Especially later in the

:06:03. > :06:07.day. A few lighter showers across the Irish Sea and at three in the

:06:08. > :06:08.afternoon this is all that is left of
