heavy rain in Cumbria and later in the night I fo

Good evening. A couple have become the first to marry at a Church of

Scientology Chapel in England` after winning a legal challenge at the

Supreme Court. Louisa Hodkin and Alessandro Kalcholee fought the case

because officials refused to recognise their church in

Blackfriars as a place for marriage. As Marc Ashdown reports, it could

have far reaching implications. It is a few small steps for this

couple, but a giant leap for Scientology. The couple's long

journey could be the first of many. Just ecstatic, a bit speechless and

so happy. They were refused a licence to get married at the

Scientology chapel in London, a court ruling said services were not

acts of worship. But in December five judges overturned that. Here is

why. We do not accept that a religion necessarily involves belief

in a supreme deity. So God may not have been invited but in the eyes of

their believest beliefs and the law, they are married. It is about more

than one couple's marriage, the chuff funded their `` church funded

their local battle and they know the reward of being recognised as a

religion. They can have tax relief. It is the thin end of the wedge the

next stage will be to convince the Charity Commission that they are not

just a religion, but a religion with a public utility, a that the next

stage will be asking for equal time of thought of the day on the Today

programme. Or taking part in interfaith services. That sits

uncomfortably with those who regard it as a cult. Hollywood backers gain

theheadlines, but this couple could be ass important. `` could be as

important. Teenage girls at risk of getting involved with gangs in north

London are being taught about making better choices in life` through

helping run a business. A nail salon's been set up for them in High

Barnet` where they're being offered training and support. Emilia

Papadopoloss has more. I'm not ready for much to do. This is quite good.

Its not your average nail bar, it is run by teenagers. It was set up by

the department. I used to be rowdy. But I'm still not rowdy, but not as

rowdy any more. Do you think the place has helped? Yes, they talk to

you. I come here and tell them about stuff and they give me advice.

Tucked away by the flats the salon provides a warm and safe haven.

Perhaps they have a family member in prison or they have seen something

and their environment and it is about supporting them and reducing

the risks that can lead to their involvement in crime. It is not hard

to see why many teenagers are susceptible to a life of crime. The

unemployment rate is at its highest for 20 years and during the London

riots nine of the 12 residents convicted lived on this estate.

13`year`old Macey is a regular and provides the entertainment. After

school I nearly got detention. I didn't want to go to it, because of

here. The charity knows it will take time to sea real changes, but a a

simple idea like this is a good place to start. The The oldest known

Holocaust survivor has died at the age of 110. Alice Herz`Sommer lived

in north London. Her remarkable survival story has been featured in

a documentary` nominated for an Oscar next weekend. Let's get the

weather now with Elizabeth Rizzini. Dry tonight with temperatures of

seven or eight degrees. Some rain pushing in tomorrow. Next week

staying mild, but unsettled and windy at times. That's it from us.

We'll be back tomorrow morning with our breakfast bulletins. For now

though have a very good night. Goodbye.

Hello, there has been a lot of rain this weekend in western Scotland.

River levels have been rising. We have got more rain on the way. It

has been wet in the Lake District and it is still raining here. The

rain pushes into Wales and the South West later. Brisk southerly winds

that will ease, apart from the far north-west, nowhere cold. Tomorrow,

many places will see an improvement. It won't be as windy and that rain

band will peter out. We start with a broad band of rain. As it tracks

eastwards the rain becomes light and patchy and following that. We get

sunshine and maybe some showers For a while there could be some sharp

showers in Scotland, but with lighter winds it shouldn't feel too

bad. We will see showers in Northern Ireland. Especially later in the

day. A few lighter showers across the Irish Sea and at three in the

afternoon this is all that is left of
