:02:10. > :02:13.London, issued a joint appe`l to the kidnappers of Alan Henning to
:02:14. > :02:19.release him. They expressed horror and revulsion at the recent murders

:02:22. > :02:28.worst crimes against humanity. This is not jihad, it is a war against

:04:34. > :04:36.of a video of another Briton emerging, what, if anything, do you
:04:37. > :04:42.think a letter like this, what difference would it make? It has an
:04:43. > :04:45.impact two ways. The first way is to send a clear message to those
:04:46. > :04:50.thinking of going to Syria that it is not the path for British Muslims
:04:51. > :04:52.to take. The message is, don't go out there, the British Muslhm
:04:53. > :04:57.community is making it clear that is the wrong move to take. The second
:04:58. > :05:02.thing is that we know ISIS, or IS, they are very active on sochal
:05:03. > :05:06.media. This is a call through social media and other methods, as we have
:05:07. > :05:10.seen with the hashtag #notinmyname, for somebody to pick this up, have
:05:11. > :05:15.some element in their heart, to talk to the people holding Alan Henning
:05:16. > :05:18.for a potential release. Yot talked about social media, perhaps we can
:05:19. > :05:22.learn something from the yotng people we saw in the report. Pretty
:05:23. > :05:27.powerful stuff. We know that social media seems to be the communication
:05:28. > :05:32.of choice for extremism. Is this that you're using the same ledium to
:05:33. > :05:36.fight back? It is, really. We know that groups like IS using social
:05:37. > :05:42.media, accounts are opened hn multiple names. This is the way to
:05:43. > :05:48.tackle a lot of the ideologx, the battle is online. These young people
:05:49. > :05:51.are doing the right thing. The more we can tackle it through social
:05:52. > :05:56.media and websites, that thhs is the wrong way to go, the better. It is a
:05:57. > :06:01.positive, progressive move by young British muslins in London today A
:06:02. > :06:06.warning from a government adviser on racism about the increased risk of
:06:07. > :06:11.Islamophobic attacks. Are you getting that same sense? After Lee
:06:12. > :06:14.Rigby, we were the first agdncy to pick up a large spike in
:06:15. > :06:20.Islamophobic instances. Aftdr Rotherham, specifically out of
:06:21. > :06:24.Rotherham, a smaller spike, nowhere near what happened after Led
:06:25. > :06:28.Rigby's murder. But it gives us a wholesale picture of what mhght be
:06:29. > :06:30.taking place in communities. There are national and international
:06:31. > :06:34.impacts. Thankfully, we havdn't got tension on the streets of otr
:06:35. > :06:41.country, a lot of work has been done to reduce that. Your organisation,
:06:42. > :06:44.Faith Matters, it works with all sorts of religions. What kind of
:06:45. > :06:48.reaction have you had from them We are quite unique in England,
:06:49. > :06:52.communities get on, they gel and support each other. We work with
:06:53. > :06:58.Jewish communities, a whole range of different faiths come together to
:06:59. > :07:02.try to build alliances and understanding, and reduced tensions.
:07:03. > :07:07.That is why we believe we are in a unique position in this country
:07:08. > :07:16.Fiyaz Mughal, thank you. Pldnty more to come tonight, including:
:07:17. > :07:19.Targetting China's super`rich ` the trade contingent from the c`pital
:07:20. > :07:30.hoping to boost the capital's fortunes.
:07:31. > :07:36.Let's turn to our second story, let me just grab it for you. Solething
:07:37. > :07:37.seems to be... Right, let md start again.
:07:38. > :07:39.Details have emerged about the number of staff
:07:40. > :07:42.individual underground stathons will lose as part of plans to close
:07:43. > :07:46.It's claimed 13 stations will lose more than half their current staff,
:07:47. > :07:48.prompting fresh concerns from passengers and transport groups
:07:49. > :07:51.London Underground denies its plans will make the network less safe
:07:52. > :08:01.Nick Beake is at Oxford Circus tube tonight.
:08:02. > :08:06.Well, the London Underground is changing. This week, for thd first
:08:07. > :08:11.time, we have been able to tse contactless cards to get around
:08:12. > :08:15.This proposal to close everx ticket office in the capital has proved
:08:16. > :08:19.controversial. There have bden concerns about safety and
:08:20. > :08:23.particularly about job lossds. Today, for the first time, we have
:08:24. > :08:28.had some detail about what ht could mean for individual stations. Plans
:08:29. > :08:32.to close all of London's ticket offices and cut up to 950 jobs have
:08:33. > :08:36.already sparked two strikes, with passengers caught in the middle
:08:37. > :08:42.Today, details emerged for the first time about exactly how individual
:08:43. > :08:46.stations would be affected. Labour claims 13 stations across London
:08:47. > :08:51.with each lose more than half their staff. Among them, Barons Court
:08:52. > :08:59.Edgware, Dagenham heatwave, East Ham and Southfields. Are there dnough
:09:00. > :09:03.staff to meet the needs of the passengers? I don't think the
:09:04. > :09:06.evidence is there that is the case. We are not against modernis`tion, I
:09:07. > :09:10.don't think anybody is. But they are equating what Nye 's Asian with a
:09:11. > :09:19.dramatic loss of staff. Herd at Kilburn, there are 12 staff. ``
:09:20. > :09:25.modernisation. That would bd halved and passengers have concerns. When
:09:26. > :09:29.it is put to the test, therd will not always be the cover. If there is
:09:30. > :09:35.sickness and that, there will not be able to stand for them. People with
:09:36. > :09:40.a disability, it's not right for them to be expected to use lachines.
:09:41. > :09:46.If there is an incident and the man is taken away from his job, who is
:09:47. > :09:49.there? Today, transport bosses insisted every station would be
:09:50. > :09:53.manned while tubes were running and the safety of passengers wotld not
:09:54. > :09:57.be compromise. The quality of service is going to be enhanced
:09:58. > :10:01.Yes, there will be fewer st`ff overall, we have been clear about
:10:02. > :10:04.that from the beginning. Because we can redeploy the lion's share of
:10:05. > :10:07.stuff out there to be in front of customers, customers will sde more
:10:08. > :10:13.staff than they do today. Therefore, the service will be much better It
:10:14. > :10:18.was claimed today that 588 front line station staff will be lost a
:10:19. > :10:23.16% cut across the network. London Underground says it is constlting
:10:24. > :10:25.with the unions on a final figure and discussing how each station will
:10:26. > :10:31.be ultimately affected. London Underground say hundreds of staff
:10:32. > :10:34.have come forward saying thdy would like to take voluntary redundancy.
:10:35. > :10:40.This remains an extremely contentious issue for the unions.
:10:41. > :10:44.They are extremely angry. Wd have seen it calls two sets of strikes.
:10:45. > :10:45.The hope for London passengdrs is that both sides can work together
:10:46. > :10:49.and come to some sort of solution. 600 asylum seekers have been found

:11:28. > :11:44.living, they were friendly. We have to stay in the queud
:11:45. > :11:58.for around one two hours. The local MP is angry with the Home
:11:59. > :12:01.Office, saying no one in thd local community was consulted abott a plan
:12:02. > :12:10.to use the hotel in this wax. The Home Office had to answdr some
:12:11. > :12:13.questions about why they thhnk it is appropriate to turn a hotel into a
:12:14. > :12:21.B hostel for 600 people overnight, without any conshderation
:12:22. > :12:24.with the local community. Since when have they had thhs

:12:57. > :12:59.high`end retailers have travelled to China in a bid to entice thd super
:13:00. > :13:02.rich to come here and spend. There are fears that
:13:03. > :13:05.the capital could be losing out to other European cities,
:13:06. > :13:17.as Marc Ashdown reports. Brisk business in the heart of the
:13:18. > :13:20.West End. There are shoppers from across the globe. But such hs the
:13:21. > :13:25.concern of a lack of Chinesd visitors, a delegation of top
:13:26. > :13:30.retailers has travelled to Shanghai to try to liberate their often deep
:13:31. > :13:36.pockets. It's incredibly important we are seen as a leading pl`yer
:13:37. > :13:41.within the world. There is so much that London has to offer,
:13:42. > :13:45.creativity, luxury, fantasthc, is. It's important that we remahn
:13:46. > :13:49.relevant to the world as it changes. The Chinese market is dynamhc, it is
:13:50. > :13:53.moving very rapidly, it is changing and their taste is evolved. One big
:13:54. > :14:00.problem in attracting peopld is that we remain outside the group of 6
:14:01. > :14:03.European countries that havd abolished passport and borddr
:14:04. > :14:06.controls. It means a visitor from China only has to apply for one of
:14:07. > :14:10.these are to visit all of these countries. To come here, thdy have
:14:11. > :14:14.to apply to a second one and many simply don't. As a result, Paris
:14:15. > :14:21.attracts between five and 80 times as many Chinese visitors as London.
:14:22. > :14:27.It is estimated costs the UK ?1 2 billion in lost revenue every year.
:14:28. > :14:32.In a few years, it could rise to ?3.1 billion, mainly due to China's
:14:33. > :14:36.growth. So, this visit is t`rgeting the ultra rich. But it could be
:14:37. > :14:42.argued if they do not know `bout London's luxury offerings bx now,
:14:43. > :14:46.it's a bit late. Think they do, but it's a very competitive market. Many
:14:47. > :14:49.people have not necessarily associated Britain with luxtry
:14:50. > :14:55.goods. In fact, we are an enormous force, with brands like Selfridge's,
:14:56. > :14:59.Harrods, Burberry, Mulberry and so on, we have phenomenal brands. We
:15:00. > :15:04.are fighting our corner. Thd government says it is helping by
:15:05. > :15:07.streamlining the application process. Some say it is not enough
:15:08. > :15:12.and if the trend is not revdrsed, other areas could be hit as well.

:15:37. > :15:37.and within the last hour`and`a`half, Fulham have confirmed they've
:15:38. > :16:00.sacked their manager Felix Lagath. Fair to say, his future has looked
:16:01. > :16:04.uncertain? It has, because Fulham's form has been dismal. He cale here
:16:05. > :16:09.with a glittering reputation, having won the German league three times.
:16:10. > :16:12.Fulham were hoping he would have been the one to keep them in the
:16:13. > :16:17.Premier League. He was their third manager of last season, following
:16:18. > :16:24.Martin Jol and Rene Meulensteen It was all a bit of a mess. Thd owner
:16:25. > :16:28.hoped Felix Magath would kedp them up, but as the former captahn Brede
:16:29. > :16:32.Hangeland said this summer, he just made things worse, because Fulham
:16:33. > :16:37.really went down with a bit of a whimper. And if you go out of the
:16:38. > :16:43.Premier League, it costs thd club millions of pounds. Fulham certainly
:16:44. > :16:46.do not look like hitting back up quickly, being bottom of thd
:16:47. > :16:52.Championship as they are. I have lost six of their opening sdven
:16:53. > :16:56.games. Last night they were leading against Nottingham Forest whth just
:16:57. > :17:01.13 minutes to go, but lost. The boss said after the match that the start
:17:02. > :17:07.of the season had been a catastrophe, and the owner certainly
:17:08. > :17:11.agreed. For the moment, Kit Symons, the Under`21 manager, steps up to
:17:12. > :17:14.take temporary charge. He is in the frame to be the permanent boss, as
:17:15. > :17:18.is Steve Clarke and Chris Htghton. Today marks one year to go tntil the
:17:19. > :17:23.start of the 2015 Rugby World Cup. It will kick off here in London when

:18:35. > :18:42.turning her hand to athletics, setting her sights on the Olympics.
:18:43. > :18:50.Potentially, in throwing, I could make it. I have got two years. It

:19:40. > :19:42.revived, and people from Barking and Dagenham who went there as children
:19:43. > :19:53.have returned to the fields. This lady has not made this journey
:19:54. > :19:57.since 1948. Brought up in the East End, the annual trip was a working

:20:03. > :20:07.still the same sense of exchtement. I would like to see if all the fruit

:20:36. > :20:41.children, made the journey to Kent for the hop harvest. Many wdnt back
:20:42. > :20:45.to the same farms generation after generation. They may only h`ve been
:20:46. > :20:51.paid a pittance, but it was a chance to enjoy the countryside. It was a
:20:52. > :20:55.communal effort, really, especially when it came to the cooking and the
:20:56. > :21:01.games and the songs that we used to sing. But when you were working at
:21:02. > :21:08.the bin, it was every man for himself, really. It was serhous
:21:09. > :21:13.stuff! It was serious! Sincd specialist machinery was invented in
:21:14. > :21:17.the 1950s, it has been posshble to harvest tops, even on a big farm
:21:18. > :21:21.like this, with just a handful of people. Before that, they ndeded
:21:22. > :21:25.hundreds, and many of them were recruited from the East End. The
:21:26. > :21:31.trip is part of a 0 project recreating historic experiences and
:21:32. > :21:36.with the population of artisan beer, there will be a tipple to enjoy at
:21:37. > :21:41.the end of it. It is not just about re`enacting something, it is about

:22:27. > :22:32.Meet the cast of East Is East, the Asian family comedy, returnhng to
:22:33. > :22:38.the London stage after 15 ydars as part of Jamie Lloyd's second season
:22:39. > :22:43.at the Trafalgar Studios. This was a special event at the venue, bringing
:22:44. > :22:46.together the cast of his current show, starring Martin freem`n in
:22:47. > :22:50.Richard III, to hand on the button to those in his next production
:22:51. > :22:57.What do you mean when you ddscribe it as an actor's Theatre? It is
:22:58. > :23:00.about giving act as an opportunity to do roles that they might have
:23:01. > :23:04.always wanted to do, or perhaps other people have not given to
:23:05. > :23:09.them. This season has provided marching with his first offhcial
:23:10. > :23:16.Shakespearean role, and a rdturn to the stage after four years. I know
:23:17. > :23:25.you do not really do this sort of thing. His role as Watson in
:23:26. > :23:29.Sherlock won him a Best Supporting Actor award at the Emmys, btt he was
:23:30. > :23:34.not there to receive it. Were you surprised about the award? Happily
:23:35. > :23:40.surprised, it was a lovely surprise, yes. Obviously, I would havd liked
:23:41. > :23:44.to have gone. I am old`fashhoned, but the show that you are doing must
:23:45. > :23:50.go on. However exciting all the other stuff is, it is not the actual
:23:51. > :23:56.work. People have paid to come and see the play and I think yot owe it
:23:57. > :23:59.to them. This handover event is a unique Trafalgar Studios tr`dition,
:24:00. > :24:04.with the cast of the current production meeting those of the show
:24:05. > :24:09.to follow. It is a kind of bonding session and exchange of ide`s. Next
:24:10. > :24:14.month, Jane Horrocks will t`ke to the stage as the long`suffering
:24:15. > :24:18.English mother in East Is E`st. I think a lot of people are excited
:24:19. > :24:23.about it, because there was such a following with a film, and not many
:24:24. > :24:28.people saw it as a play, so that is exciting, to see it live. I think I
:24:29. > :24:33.might be a better actor than I was four months ago, because it demands
:24:34. > :24:38.that. The play does, the production does, the other actors do. Ht feels
:24:39. > :24:43.like a huge mountain. A hugd mountain we are climbing evdry day.
:24:44. > :24:47.Martin has just over a week of mountain climbing as the villainous
:24:48. > :24:49.King for Jane and her cast bring the multicultural comedy to the
:24:50. > :24:52.Trafalgar Studios. Time for a check on the we`ther now
:24:53. > :25:04.with Jon Hammond. And it has been a warm day? It
:25:05. > :25:07.really has been. 26 degrees, you do not get that very often in the
:25:08. > :25:16.middle of September. Heading towards the weekend, it will be turning
:25:17. > :25:23.cooler. Fresher as well. We have had some sharp showers today. These will
:25:24. > :25:32.be moving away this evening, many of us will avoid them, as we go through
:25:33. > :25:36.the night. However, some showers developing again later on in the
:25:37. > :25:45.night, coming up from the south You might wake up to a rumble of
:25:46. > :25:53.thunder. Temperatures `16`17 as we start the day, so it will bd another
:25:54. > :26:01.warm one, and humid. Some places will avoid these showers, I must
:26:02. > :26:06.stress. Not as much sunshind as many of us had today. If the sun does
:26:07. > :26:16.come out, again, it will fedl pretty warm and humid. The wind will be
:26:17. > :26:22.fairly light. Looking furthdr ahead, everything hinges on a cold front
:26:23. > :26:29.running down from the north. It will introduce fresher air eventtally,
:26:30. > :26:36.but not on Saturday. Temper`tures, if the sun does come out, whll be
:26:37. > :26:40.pretty high. Looking further ahead, for the rest of the weekend and
:26:41. > :26:46.beyond, it turns fresher, btt brighter. Sunday looks lovely, and
:26:47. > :26:50.Monday is not shaping up to badly, either. Temperatures not as high,
:26:51. > :26:51.but we are going to see somd sunshine.
:26:52. > :26:56.A new video has appeared showing a British hostage believed to be
