:00:00. > :00:00.has been away. That is all from us. Now on BBC One,
:00:00. > :00:19.it is time for the news where you are.
:00:20. > :00:23.Good evening from BBC London news. I'm Louisa Preston.
:00:24. > :00:26.Police have revealed there's been a five`fold increase in
:00:27. > :00:29.the number of arrests for stspected terrorism offences since last year.
:00:30. > :00:36.It comes as a senior Scotland Yard detective made
:00:37. > :00:41.a direct appeal to the publhc to help identify radicalised Londoners
:00:42. > :00:43.who may be about to commit offences such as travelling to Syria to fight
:00:44. > :00:44.for extremist Islamist groups. Here's our Home affairs
:00:45. > :00:46.correspondent, Guy Smith. A call to the public,
:00:47. > :00:49.particularly the Muslim comlunity to help identify so`called asphring
:00:50. > :00:51.terrorists. Today the police made an appeal
:00:52. > :00:54.across the UK but especiallx in London, asking us all to look
:00:55. > :01:02.out signs of becoming radic`lised. People will spot family,
:01:03. > :01:06.friends people in their comlunity Someone who starts to behavd
:01:07. > :01:13.in an odd way, perhaps showhng signs of radicalisation talking
:01:14. > :01:15.about travel, selling possessions, perhaps raising money to tr`vel
:01:16. > :01:19.abroad and put two and two together The question is whether thex
:01:20. > :01:25.pick up the phone to us. James Foley's murder is
:01:26. > :01:27.the most recent shocking incident to Not just in the Middle East
:01:28. > :01:33.but also here in Britain. Scotland Yard says the incrdase in
:01:34. > :01:36.the number of dangerous indhviduals have been challenging because nearly
:01:37. > :01:38.half of those travelling to Syria who are now of concern were never
:01:39. > :01:42.known before as a terrorist threat. During the first half
:01:43. > :01:48.of this year there have been 69 In the last four years The Let has
:01:49. > :01:54.prompted the removal of more than 45,000 pieces
:01:55. > :01:58.of extreme online content. And in the past 12 months, tnder
:01:59. > :02:02.the government's Prevent programme there has been a 58% increase in
:02:03. > :02:06.the number of times the authorities have intervened in turning xoung
:02:07. > :02:11.people away from extremism. Many may remember protests
:02:12. > :02:13.around the world when a Danhsh newspaper published cartoons
:02:14. > :02:17.of the Prophet, Mohammed. This Londoner was jailed
:02:18. > :02:21.for soliciting murder. He was unimpressed
:02:22. > :02:23.with today's appeal. Muslims will look to that and say,
:02:24. > :02:28.how can we ever cooperate whth such an oppressive system
:02:29. > :02:30.and be a party to that systdm. It is unacceptable and Islalically,
:02:31. > :02:35.it's not allowed. But moderate voices
:02:36. > :02:37.are also concerned. It's like everywhere you go, as
:02:38. > :02:40.a Muslim you are being watched and that's the suspicion the colmunity
:02:41. > :02:44.feels throughout from top to bottom. From the outset we have
:02:45. > :02:51.been critical of this. While some believe some Muslims have
:02:52. > :02:53.been alienated, It needs the public's help `nd
:02:54. > :02:58.for community and religious leaders to continue to
:02:59. > :03:11.speak out against extremism. Police in Hertfordshire are urgently
:03:12. > :03:13.appealing for the driver of a blue car involved in a fatal hit`and`run
:03:14. > :03:15.to contact them immediately. 16`year`old, Fazan Ahmed was struck
:03:16. > :03:19.by what's believed to be a Peugeot in Hemel Hempstead on Fridax evening
:03:20. > :03:21.and died at St Mary's Hospital As you've been hearing,
:03:22. > :03:32.London doctors are treating Britain's first Ebola patient with
:03:33. > :03:34.the experimental drug, ZMapp. The volunteer nurse, Willial Pooley,
:03:35. > :03:38.has been flown here from West Africa and is in a special hsolation
:03:39. > :03:41.unit at the Royal Free Hosphtal From south`east London,
:03:42. > :03:48.Milton blogs about issues affecting He has been trying to get accurate
:03:49. > :03:53.facts about the Ebola outbrdak to family and friends there and says
:03:54. > :03:57.many Londoners with connecthons in People are very fearful
:03:58. > :04:00.for their parents, friends `nd loved ones back home because the situation
:04:01. > :04:04.seems to be getting out of hand Flights are being cancelled
:04:05. > :04:06.on a daily basis. They don't know if their relatives
:04:07. > :04:08.who have actually gone to Sierra Leone would be actually
:04:09. > :04:12.trapped and would not be able to Now the arrival
:04:13. > :04:20.of the UK's first Ebola pathent in London, flanked by policd and
:04:21. > :04:24.whisked to a specialist unit has turned attention to the caphtal s
:04:25. > :04:28.ability to treat the virus. Public Health England put ott
:04:29. > :04:31.information that went to general practitioners,
:04:32. > :04:33.A departments and other lots of places where we have an intdraction
:04:34. > :04:36.with people returning after foreign William Pooley is being cardd for
:04:37. > :04:43.in one of two beds in the And this evening we learned he has
:04:44. > :04:51.been given the experimental The Health Secretary says
:04:52. > :04:55.treating him here is low risk. I am actually proud
:04:56. > :04:57.about what the NHS is able to offer I think the public can be rdassured,
:04:58. > :05:02.not just by the precautions we are t`king but
:05:03. > :05:06.the superb care he is receiving It is a stark contrast to
:05:07. > :05:08.the conditions in West Africa and the World Health Organization
:05:09. > :05:12.says it is concerned about the high number of health profession`ls
:05:13. > :05:13.developing the disease. Today, a London charity worker
:05:14. > :05:19.recently arrived in Liberia I've seen health workers ushng
:05:20. > :05:25.dustbin bags for gloves bec`use That contributes to the sprdad
:05:26. > :05:32.of Ebola but also they are working incredibly
:05:33. > :05:35.hard and incredibly long hotrs. Fatigue sets in
:05:36. > :05:37.and you can make mistakes He says restrictions on flights have
:05:38. > :05:43.made it harder to get equiplent medicine and health workers to
:05:44. > :05:45.the areas they are most needed. Like others, he is full of praise
:05:46. > :05:49.for Mr Pooley and his willingness to volunteer in a country which
:05:50. > :05:55.needs all the help it can gdt. We understand so far Mr Pooley has
:05:56. > :05:57.been given one dose Doctors here say they have lade it
:05:58. > :06:07.clear to him, it's not necessarily a cure, but they've added thehr voices
:06:08. > :06:09.to those in praise of the volunteer nurse, describing him as a resilient
:06:10. > :06:40.and remarkable the young man. Has it stopped raining yet?
:06:41. > :06:45.Yes, but we had 48 hours of it. Saint James 's Park in central
:06:46. > :06:51.London had 50 millimetres, close to what we get in the month of August.
:06:52. > :06:56.Tomorrow is that, fine and ht will be warmer. The process starts as we
:06:57. > :07:01.go through the night. Maybe one or two patchy outbreaks but drhve
:07:02. > :07:07.through the night. Rakes in the cloud. 11 or 12 degrees, max be
:07:08. > :07:11.further north you will get down into single figures for a time. We will
:07:12. > :07:18.wake up to sunshine tomorrow. Patchy cloud around and into the afternoon
:07:19. > :07:21.and evening, coming in from the south`west. Temperatures will be up
