Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:13.

Hello. A very good evening. There are concerns over possible religious

:00:14.:00:21.

extremism at a school in Tower Hamlets. BBC London has learned the

:00:22.:00:27.

council has information concerning the possible Islamification of Kobi

:00:28.:00:29.

Nazrul Primary School. The Department for Education has told us

:00:30.:00:33.

it will investigate any alldgations. It follows the so`called Trojan

:00:34.:00:37.

Horse plot in Birmingham, in which a number of schools were the target of

:00:38.:00:42.

an alleged takeover plot by extremists.

:00:43.:00:48.

David Cameron once choose this school as the backdrop for the plans

:00:49.:00:51.

for integrating minority communities. Now it is surrounded by

:00:52.:00:55.

suspicion. Tower Hamlets Cotncil is trying to remove the entire

:00:56.:01:00.

governing body over an alarling slip in standards. Now BBC London

:01:01.:01:04.

understands information has been received.

:01:05.:01:07.

After the events in Birmingham, we asked every single London council to

:01:08.:01:12.

tell us of any tip`offs abott any of their schools. We asked for any

:01:13.:01:17.

details of any alleged attelpt by Islamic extremists to infiltrate any

:01:18.:01:22.

school or try to influence the Islamification of lessons. Tower

:01:23.:01:27.

Hamlets confirmed it was no position of a document, but so far h`s not

:01:28.:01:32.

shown it to us or identified the school. We understand the

:01:33.:01:35.

information relates to Kobi Nazrul Primary School. Four of the 15

:01:36.:01:39.

governors at the school havd now resigned. This man is one of them.

:01:40.:01:42.

He said he was not invited to meetings and was alarmed at the

:01:43.:01:48.

amount of long`remaining stoof leaving. Some were at the school for

:01:49.:01:53.

over a decade. I don't know what happened hnside,

:01:54.:01:57.

in terms of the management from the top layer. There's no other

:01:58.:02:01.

conclusion. There must have been a reason they resigned. Results from

:02:02.:02:11.

gone from 82% of pupils gains good Sats to 42%. The question the

:02:12.:02:18.

governors were asked, they were asked while why our school was

:02:19.:02:22.

failing. We have not had a valid answer, basically. They tridd to,

:02:23.:02:27.

behind our backs, actually, tried to put this school into an academy

:02:28.:02:31.

There was no consultation whth the parents. None of the parents we

:02:32.:02:36.

spoke to have seen any avert extremism. We now know one of the

:02:37.:02:47.

governors is a member of an Islamist group. It has infiltrated and

:02:48.:02:52.

recruited at university and remains under constant review by thd Home

:02:53.:02:56.

Office. The local MP says the Government should have acted sooner.

:02:57.:03:00.

The Government and the Secrdtary of State has sat on his hands. In the

:03:01.:03:05.

mean time, children are suffering, parents are suffering. Parent

:03:06.:03:10.

governors have raised alarm bells that they have been in a minority.

:03:11.:03:14.

This school needs action quhckly. The Department for Education told us

:03:15.:03:18.

if they find evidence of extremism they will not hesitate to act. They

:03:19.:03:26.

are awaiting the results of an emergency Ofsted inspection. That

:03:27.:03:29.

may shed light on what is h`ppening inside.

:03:30.:03:31.

Just to clarify, these are concerns about governors, not necess`rily at

:03:32.:03:38.

what is taught at the school? That is right. So far nothing in our

:03:39.:03:44.

investigation has suggested any obvious or overt attempts at

:03:45.:03:49.

Islamification at this school. Tower Hamlets Council had concerns about

:03:50.:03:52.

the school for some time. Wd know that back in 2012, when a ndw head

:03:53.:03:56.

was hired t council stronglx objected to that. Then we s`w a

:03:57.:04:01.

dramatic drop in results at the school. The council tried to

:04:02.:04:06.

intervene. It brought in Ofsted It is when we get the findings we will

:04:07.:04:10.

find out what, if anything has happened at this school.

:04:11.:04:16.

An inquest into the death of a mother whose shooting sparkdd the

:04:17.:04:21.

1985 Brixton riots began today. Cherry Groce was shot during a

:04:22.:04:27.

police raid and died of her injuries in 2011.

:04:28.:04:32.

He was only 11 years old whdn he saw his mother lying on the floor

:04:33.:04:35.

bleeding at their home in Brixton. She had been shot by an armdd police

:04:41.:04:45.

repeatedly, "What have you done to my mum? " He heard her saying, I

:04:46.:04:51.

cannot feel my legs. I can not breathe. I am going to die." He said

:04:52.:04:58.

he became hysterical ux but the officer `` but the officer told me

:04:59.:05:03.

to shut up. She died from her injuries hn 2 11.

:05:04.:05:09.

26 years after the shooting. It provoked a riot in Brixton `nd

:05:10.:05:14.

raised questions at the timd about policing the black communitx and the

:05:15.:05:18.

use of lethal force. Police had been looking for her son, described as

:05:19.:05:24.

extremely dangerous. He was suspected of carrying out an armed

:05:25.:05:31.

robbery. At an address in London he pointed a shotgun at a Hertfordshire

:05:32.:05:35.

police officer and then dis`ppeared. The next day, armed officers from

:05:36.:05:39.

the Met carried out searches and raids. It wasn't until earlx the

:05:40.:05:43.

next morning they targeted his family home and shot his mother

:05:44.:05:50.

The jury heard there were sdrious deficiencies in how the raid was

:05:51.:05:53.

carried out. There was a lack of information about the lay`ott of the

:05:54.:05:56.

property and details of who was inside. An independent revidw by

:05:57.:06:01.

West Yorkshire Police found grave risks were created for both the

:06:02.:06:04.

public and the police. Risks that should have been avoided.

:06:05.:06:09.

It has taken the family of Cherry Groce the past three years since her

death to secure legal aid so, they can be represented at an inpuest.
