:00:00. > :00:11.New details emerge about the death of an American

:00:12. > :00:14.journalist in Syria - he was held captive by three British jihadis.

:00:15. > :00:18.MI5 is leading the British hunt for the man responsible for the killing.

:00:19. > :00:24.There'd been an attempt to rescue James Foley by US Special Forces,

:00:25. > :00:27.but he couldn't be found. The British jihadis heading for

:00:28. > :00:34.Syria and Iraq - there's renewed concern about radicalisation online.

:00:35. > :00:37.And on the ground in Iraq, intense fighting against

:00:38. > :00:48.Islamic State forces - we have a special report from the frontline.

:00:49. > :00:51.It is believed James Foley's captors had demanded a ransom of ?80

:00:55. > :00:57.Also tonight: There's a rise in the number

:00:58. > :01:00.of good GCSE grades overall, but a sharp decline in English.

:01:01. > :01:04.A rise in the number of homes with a water meter,

:01:05. > :01:06.and an increase in bills. And remembering the heroes of

:01:07. > :01:11.Bomber Command - work begins on a new memorial in Lincolnshire.

:01:12. > :01:14.On BBC London, how safe is the capital?

:01:15. > :01:18.We look at the threat imposed by homegrown extremists.

:01:19. > :01:19.And the undercover officers accused of starting sexual relationships

:01:20. > :01:46.with women, won't face charges. Good evening and welcome to the

:01:47. > :01:49.BBC News at Six. More detail has been emerging

:01:50. > :01:51.about the murder of the American journalist James Foley

:01:52. > :01:56.at the hands of an Islamist militant in Syria thought to be British.

:01:57. > :02:00.The journalist was guarded by three British jihadis,

:02:01. > :02:04.and at least 20 more hostages are being held by Islamic State.

:02:05. > :02:10.In a moment, new fears about the number of Britons being

:02:11. > :02:17.radicalised on the internet, and the latest on the fight with Islamic

:02:18. > :02:19.State forces on the ground in Iraq. But first, Frank Gardner's report

:02:20. > :02:20.on the murder investigation contains pictures which you may

:02:21. > :02:38.find disturbing from the start. Clues from a Not much to go on but

:02:39. > :02:42.every detail is being studied from Islamic State's gruesome video of

:02:43. > :02:47.their murder of James Foley. A seasoned reporter who had survived

:02:48. > :02:52.an area kidnapping in Libya, Foley was held for nearly two years in

:02:53. > :02:55.Syria. Reports say his captors demanded a massive ransom and later

:02:56. > :03:01.sent his parents an angry e-mail telling them he was about to be

:03:02. > :03:05.killed. This former French hostage spent months with Foley. He got out

:03:06. > :03:10.because a ransom was reportedly paid. Being an American, he was

:03:11. > :03:15.probably more targeted by the kidnappers. He was some kind of

:03:16. > :03:21.scapegoat. Many countries do negotiate. I don't know if it is

:03:22. > :03:29.money, I don't know if it is prisoner exchange. Some countries

:03:30. > :03:36.like America and the UK do not negotiate. The manhunt will be

:03:37. > :03:41.zeroing in on this Syrian stronghold of Islamic State. Most of their

:03:42. > :03:50.foreign hostages are believed to be held in an area under IIS control.

:03:51. > :03:55.There are believed to be at least 20 others held, including this US

:03:56. > :04:01.journalist, Steven Sotloff. It is only a matter of time before MI5 or

:04:02. > :04:05.the FBI identify the man who killed James Foley. Pinpointing where he is

:04:06. > :04:09.now in the Middle East will be harder. And bringing the suspect out

:04:10. > :04:16.of the country that is already torn apart by war will be almost

:04:17. > :04:22.impossible. The area where most foreign hostages are believed to be

:04:23. > :04:27.held as become a magnet for British jihadists. One is suspected of being

:04:28. > :04:31.James Foley's killer. I think it is very likely we will discover his

:04:32. > :04:35.identity in the next few days. We have a lot more means of finding out

:04:36. > :04:42.who that guy is then we used to have 20 or 30 years ago. For example,

:04:43. > :04:44.maybe 80% of the foreign fighters are involved in social media. They

:04:45. > :04:51.have Facebook accounts, Twitter accounts, that give away a lot of

:04:52. > :04:55.clues in terms of height, build, and in some cases their voice. Last

:04:56. > :05:01.month the US sending commanders like these in a failed attempt to free

:05:02. > :05:03.its captured citizens in Syria. Those left behind will remain a

:05:04. > :05:07.massive propaganda tool. find disturbing from the start.

:05:08. > :05:09.Here, there's been criticism of the Government's approach to

:05:10. > :05:13.preventing extremism, amid growing concern about the

:05:14. > :05:17.numbers of young Britons heeding the call to join Islamic State forces.

:05:18. > :05:21.Mark Easton has this assessment of what's being done to stem the

:05:22. > :05:31.flow of British jihadis - and the threat they pose if they return.

:05:32. > :05:38.Come to the lands of jihad. Live amongst us. Young British Muslims

:05:39. > :05:43.are being radicalised in their own homes. Online recruitment videos

:05:44. > :05:49.appeal to a subculture of jihadi cool. The government says it has

:05:50. > :05:53.removed more than 47,000 items of terrorist propaganda from the

:05:54. > :05:59.Internet. As fast as it is taken down, Moore gets posted up. There

:06:00. > :06:05.has been one of the most appalling videos that has been posted to

:06:06. > :06:12.YouTube. It was immediately taken down. YouTube operates as a

:06:13. > :06:16.community. We have more than 100 hours of video uploaded every

:06:17. > :06:20.minute. We are swimming in an ocean of content. After the appalling

:06:21. > :06:25.murder of Drummer Lee Rigby last year, the prime ministers set up a

:06:26. > :06:29.task force which promised to support Muslim groups tackling

:06:30. > :06:34.radicalisation. Confronting extremism is a job for us all. Today

:06:35. > :06:39.the Government is being criticised for cutting the funding for such

:06:40. > :06:42.community work. There is a disconnect in terms of the

:06:43. > :06:47.mainstream organisations and the Government. Some feel they can

:06:48. > :06:53.connect with the community. This has not really work. The Home Office

:06:54. > :06:57.said today its priority was to dissuade people from travelling to

:06:58. > :07:04.conflict areas such as Syria or Iraq. They have a range of powers at

:07:05. > :07:07.their disposal to disrupt travel. Identifying the jihadi recruit among

:07:08. > :07:13.thousands of legitimate travellers is a huge challenge. 23 people are

:07:14. > :07:17.their passports confiscated on the order of the Home Secretary, often

:07:18. > :07:22.on the basis Internet evidence. Today a man from east London,

:07:23. > :07:24.accused of glorifying terror online, was remanded in custody by

:07:25. > :07:29.Westminster magistrates, also charged with preparing acts of

:07:30. > :07:36.terrorism. In the last year there has been a fivefold increase in the

:07:37. > :07:47.number of arrests, amid fears that hundreds of British citizens

:07:48. > :08:05.brutalised by the violence of the battlefield may be about to return

:08:06. > :08:08.to the UK, posing a very real threat to the safety of people here. Not

:08:09. > :08:08.everybody goes out a committed, hardened jihadist. Some go out for

:08:09. > :08:09.humanitarian reasons. The longer they spend out there, the more

:08:10. > :08:10.hardened and more brutalised they become. As a parent to have a son or

:08:11. > :08:14.even a daughter in Syria, you do not have a life any more. A group called

:08:15. > :08:17.families against stress is trying to distribute a different message. If

:08:18. > :08:23.there is one issue that keeps police and security services awake at night

:08:24. > :08:28.is is the veterans of Syria disappearing to British suburbia.

:08:29. > :08:32.Frank Gardner is with me. Can we have any confidence that

:08:33. > :08:38.radicalisation is being brought under control? No, to be blunt. It

:08:39. > :08:43.has been a problem for some time. The government reaction to it has

:08:44. > :08:49.been quite slow and reactive. It has built up speed gradually. This is a

:08:50. > :08:55.big problem. The Syrian conflict has gone on for so long and is drawing

:08:56. > :09:03.in so many thousands of recruits to jihadist extremist groups from all

:09:04. > :09:06.over Europe, so the problem is pretty big. The difference this year

:09:07. > :09:20.is that it has got much bigger. There is an actual address for jihad

:09:21. > :09:27.ease to go to. It is called Islamic State. This is a charismatic

:09:28. > :09:33.military organisation drawing in people. It is taking land. That is a

:09:34. > :09:35.real worry for people. Now of course the other difference is that because

:09:36. > :09:37.US air strikes have held back the jihad ease from taking over Kurdish

:09:38. > :09:37.villages and the West has been reluctantly drawn into the conflict,

:09:38. > :09:39.essentially Islamic State is now at war with the West. That is

:09:40. > :09:42.demonstrated by the beheading of James Foley. Frank, thank you.

:09:43. > :09:45.threat they pose if they return. Despite threats

:09:46. > :09:47.by Islamic State to murder another American hostage, there were another

:09:48. > :09:50.six US air strikes today. Iraqi forces are also understood to

:09:51. > :09:53.have attacked the jihadists in Anbar Province, and they're battling

:09:54. > :09:55.Islamic fighters in Tikrit. Jeremy Cooke sent this report

:09:56. > :10:14.from Kirkuk. It is time to fight back. The Iraqi

:10:15. > :10:23.army in full retreat a few weeks ago, now taking on Islamic State

:10:24. > :10:28.with maximum firepower. These special forces are near Tikrit and

:10:29. > :10:33.facing fanatical Islamic fighters. But there is fresh determination.

:10:34. > :10:41.Victory will not come easy. Outside Kirkuk, the front line is hardening.

:10:42. > :10:47.Here, we meet the Kurdish Peshmerga, who fought their enemy to a

:10:48. > :10:58.standstill. Look down the barrel. Across the river just 50 metres over

:10:59. > :10:59.the bridge. There, the black flag of Islamic State.

:11:00. > :11:00.standstill. Look down the barrel. Across the river just 50 And

:11:01. > :11:01.everything it stands for. The staggering thing here is just how

:11:02. > :11:05.close the front lines are. We have clearly seen movement on the other

:11:06. > :11:09.side. The Peshmerga fighters say they are determined to protect their

:11:10. > :11:14.people, to protect their homes. Several attacks have already been

:11:15. > :11:22.repelled. Their commander says his troops are ready to give their blood

:11:23. > :11:25.and their lives. But they need help. TRANSLATION: We are asking the

:11:26. > :11:30.international community and European countries for weapons. Our enemy has

:11:31. > :11:36.sophisticated weapons. Hours are good but we need better.

:11:37. > :11:40.In Kirkuk, there is no panic. The people have faith in their fighting

:11:41. > :11:43.men who defend the city. The governor told me he remains

:11:44. > :11:52.confident that the Islamic State will be defeated. It is a dangerous

:11:53. > :12:00.enemy. It is not only the enemy of Iraq or Syria. It is the enemy that

:12:01. > :12:04.can go anywhere in this world. It may be a global issue. But for now

:12:05. > :12:05.the future of the Islamic state will be determined on the battlefields of

:12:06. > :12:18.Syria. And Iraq. Ireland's former prime minister

:12:19. > :12:21.Albert Reynolds has died, at the age of 81. Albert

:12:22. > :12:23.Reynolds played a key role in advancing the Northern Ireland

:12:24. > :12:26.peace process. His signing of the Downing Street

:12:27. > :12:29.Declaration in 1993 led to the IRA ceasefire the following year.

:12:30. > :12:31.He led his party, Fianna Fail, in two coalition governments,

:12:32. > :12:36.and served as Taoiseach between 1992 and 1994.

:12:37. > :12:42.Four undercover police officers accused of starting

:12:43. > :12:44.relationships with women will not face sexual offences charges.

:12:45. > :12:47.The Crown Prosecution Service says there is insufficient evidence to

:12:48. > :12:51.prosecute the officers for offences including rape and sexual assault.

:12:52. > :12:59.The men are alleged to have deceived political activists

:13:00. > :13:02.in having relationships. There's been a fall in the number

:13:03. > :13:06.of pupils getting a good pass in English GCSE.

:13:07. > :13:09.But the overall A to C pass rate has risen slightly,

:13:10. > :13:14.with a sharp improvements in Maths. GCSE results came out today in

:13:15. > :13:22.England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Alex Forsyth has the details.

:13:23. > :13:30.There were shrieks of joy from some as pupils opened envelopes which

:13:31. > :13:36.held the key to their future. I am shaking. I'm sweating. Amid the

:13:37. > :13:42.delight, there was some disappointment. For others, relief.

:13:43. > :13:49.From any parents, proud. Very proud. Really pleased. We have been waiting

:13:50. > :13:54.for this day. The number of A to C grades went up bike .7 percentage

:13:55. > :13:59.points. There is huge variation in the key subjects. In maths, the pass

:14:00. > :14:06.rate leapt up by 4.8 points. In English it has dropped by 1.9

:14:07. > :14:10.points. The biggest fall in years. This volatility is down to sweeping

:14:11. > :14:16.changes to GCSEs in England. No exams are taken at the end of two

:14:17. > :14:20.years study, not in modules, there is less emphasis on coursework. Some

:14:21. > :14:25.courses are tougher and fewer pupils attempted GCSEs early, then take

:14:26. > :14:33.multiple resits. The system in the past incentivised schools to enter

:14:34. > :14:36.pupils in different modules as they sought to raise the grades of those

:14:37. > :14:42.pupils. The consequence was they lost out on a large amount of

:14:43. > :14:46.teaching time. These students are feeling the effects of these

:14:47. > :14:50.significant reforms to GCSEs introduced by former Education

:14:51. > :14:55.Secretary Michael Gove. The point is to make exams more rigorous and keep

:14:56. > :14:56.standards high. The concern is some students may pay the price for

:14:57. > :14:56.changes standards high. The concern is some

:14:57. > :15:03.students may pay the price made midway through their studies. Twins

:15:04. > :15:08.Holly and Rosie worked hard and said the shake-up of the system did

:15:09. > :15:12.affect their grades. I am OK with my results. I don't think they should

:15:13. > :15:18.change it halfway through. Any change at the end of the course

:15:19. > :15:23.produces a lack of confidence. I think it affected them in that way.

:15:24. > :15:27.It is pulling the rug from under them really. In Wales, grades have

:15:28. > :15:34.improved. Overall results were broadly stable. It was the same in

:15:35. > :15:38.Northern Ireland. Neither system has seen changes like those in England.

:15:39. > :15:44.And while these students digester today's results, there is further

:15:45. > :15:46.change in future. For better or worse, it will affect her pupils are

:15:53. > :15:55.MI5 leads the British hunt for the Jihadi extremist responsible

:16:21. > :16:30.Green Belt land. Now, do you have a water meter

:16:31. > :16:32.in your home? The number of properties

:16:33. > :16:35.which do has risen above 10 million in England and Wales as companies

:16:36. > :16:37.in drought-prone areas oblige By next spring, 50% of all homes in

:16:38. > :16:44.those areas will have a water meter. Many people end up paying less,

:16:45. > :16:47.but some have seen Our Personal Finance Correspondent

:16:48. > :17:02.Simon Gompertz has more details. Water, the more you wash up with it,

:17:03. > :17:08.the more it will turn around the meter. The more showers. The more

:17:09. > :17:15.clothes washing. On it goes. The more baths you have. The more you

:17:16. > :17:20.will end up paying for it. That is what this family near Southampton

:17:21. > :17:24.have found. Charged in line with the rateable value of the house before,

:17:25. > :17:31.now forced to have a meter and amazed by a warning their bill would

:17:32. > :17:35.nearly double to ?763 year. We knew it would go up. We didn't expect it

:17:36. > :17:41.to double. We thought it would increase by maybe a quarter. But

:17:42. > :17:46.doubling the whole amount was a shock. By next spring, around a half

:17:47. > :17:51.of all households in England and Wales will have meters, because of

:17:52. > :17:57.compulsory water metering. The company say it is only fair, but it

:17:58. > :18:04.means that hundreds of thousands of families could find they have a

:18:05. > :18:09.shock when they look at their bills. Southern Water said 38% of

:18:10. > :18:15.households are worse off paying ?175 more a year on average. But 62% of

:18:16. > :18:20.them, the ones with fewer people, are better off by ?159 a year. So

:18:21. > :18:25.some of the neighbours are celebrating. You're a gainer? Yes

:18:26. > :18:31.and we are always happy when we gain. It is less than half. You're

:18:32. > :18:39.paying less than half what you were paying before. Yes. You don't use

:18:40. > :18:43.much water. Perhaps I'm dirty! Southern Water is putting in half a

:18:44. > :18:48.million compulsory meters and there will be more from Thames Water and

:18:49. > :18:53.others. What do you say to people who are ending up with bigger bills?

:18:54. > :19:00.That has to be a big concern for us... Charge us for what we use,

:19:01. > :19:04.they say, and we won't waste water. You don't go to garage and fill a

:19:05. > :19:10.lorry and pay the same amount for your petrol as a family turning up

:19:11. > :19:16.in the family car. That is how we do things. We are bringing that in down

:19:17. > :19:22.here in the south for water use. So not every where now, but meters are

:19:23. > :19:29.spreading. Don't be surprised to see the installers turn up.

:19:30. > :19:31.The Football Association is investigating claims that

:19:32. > :19:34.the former Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay and Iain Moody, the

:19:35. > :19:36.club's former head of recruitment, exchanged abusive text messages.

:19:37. > :19:38.They are said to include racist, sexist and homophobic comments

:19:39. > :19:42.This report by Natalie Pirks contains some of the content

:19:43. > :19:59.of the alleged texts which you may find offensive.

:20:00. > :20:10.When Cardiff city owner Vincent Tan sacked Malky Mackay, as manager, Tan

:20:11. > :20:15.was cast in the role of villain. Now it is Mackay's reputation that could

:20:16. > :20:22.be in tatters. Lawyers raided the home of former Cardiff head of

:20:23. > :20:27.recruitment Ian Moody, looking for evidence of financial

:20:28. > :20:30.irregularities, but they found discriminatory text between the two.

:20:56. > :21:00.the texts are showing a wider problem. The anti-Semitism feeling

:21:01. > :21:07.around Europe is frightening. But it is not just about anti-Semitism. It

:21:08. > :21:14.is anti-everything. The FA have a hell of a job and we have got to

:21:15. > :21:18.give them every help we can. Here at Wembley, the FA say they're

:21:19. > :21:23.investigating the dossier. It is not the first time they have had to

:21:24. > :21:28.investigate comments made in private. Campaigners say it is high

:21:29. > :21:32.time those in power took action. The FA itself would admit privately it

:21:33. > :21:37.has shirked its responsibility and has not asserted itself in the way

:21:38. > :21:43.it should as the body responsible. This is a real key moment for it.

:21:44. > :21:47.Having backed off once, can it move forward now? ? Moody resigned from

:21:48. > :21:51.Crystal Palace today, but he has been unavailable for comment. Mackay

:21:52. > :21:57.said he will fight the claims. He had been the forerun foretr

:21:58. > :22:01.manager's job at Palace. But with allegations suggesting views that

:22:53. > :22:58.and were being served up in Moscow. Today, though,

:22:59. > :23:10.it is a different story. The food inspectors have ordered

:23:11. > :23:24.three of Moscow's McDonald'ses to be closed, citing Sanitary problems.

:23:25. > :23:30.This is a signal to the public at large, America is our enemy. Things

:23:31. > :23:34.are American are suspicious. For food safety or any other reason, we

:23:35. > :23:41.will not put up with our consumers being exposed to things American. It

:23:42. > :23:45.is a similar story in the shops. Centre stage now are Russian

:23:46. > :23:49.products. After Moscow banned imports of meat, dairy, fruit and

:23:50. > :23:55.vegetables from America and from the EU. It is the cell lip's response --

:23:56. > :24:05.Kremlin's response to western sanctions. But are people here

:24:06. > :24:13.bothered about the burgers? I prefer boot root soup and dumplings. This

:24:14. > :24:18.is 99% politics. Russia's looking for ways to hit back at the west. We

:24:19. > :24:24.did find someone at McDonald's today. This cow mascot for a Russian

:24:25. > :24:32.fast food chain. At least someone's happy.

:24:33. > :24:35.During the Second World War, Lincolnshire was home to thousands

:24:36. > :24:38.Today, the first turf was cut for a memorial centre

:24:39. > :24:41.which will tell the stories of those involved in the conflict.

:24:42. > :24:44.And to mark the event, the final two airworthy Lancasters

:24:45. > :24:46.flew in formation, along with the last flying Vulcan bomber, over

:24:47. > :25:03.Through Lincolnshire sky appeared a rare and precious sight. Led by a

:25:04. > :25:07.Vulcan, the last pair of flying Lancasters roared over RAF

:25:08. > :25:12.Waddington. Both here to remember those who served with bomber

:25:13. > :25:17.command. RAF Lancasters of bomber command... 55,000 Lancaster crew

:25:18. > :25:24.members lost their lives in the Second World War. Their average age

:25:25. > :25:30.was 22. Jeffrey Whittle knows the story of sacrifice too well. Five of

:25:31. > :25:34.his crew were killed. We were a happy bunch. We were all young. We

:25:35. > :25:40.never thought we wouldn't come back. But of course 50 odd thousand

:25:41. > :25:43.didn't. With only two air worthy Lancasters left, it is hard to

:25:44. > :25:50.believe that once more than 7,000 were in the skies. In a sense, this

:25:51. > :25:54.is where the Lancaster belongs. Lincolnshire was nicknamed bomber

:25:55. > :25:59.county, because so many missions flew from here and today is about

:26:00. > :26:07.remembering the bravery of the crews on board. Men gave Nair lives during

:26:08. > :26:13.-- their lives during the war and there were incredible tales of

:26:14. > :26:19.bravery. And we can use these planes not just for sxhemration, but --

:26:20. > :26:25.commemoration, but for inspiration. To remember those stories, 70 years

:26:26. > :26:32.on a memorial to bomber command will be made here in Lincolnshire. A

:26:33. > :26:47.reminder of the crews who risked everything. Now the weather. Susan

:26:48. > :26:54.Powell is here. A cool and showery story to finish off our day. The

:26:55. > :26:57.breeze will ease over night and then the skies clear in Scotland and

:26:58. > :27:02.Northern Ireland and temperatures down into single figures in rural

:27:03. > :27:09.areas. In the south some heavy showers in the Bristol showers and

:27:10. > :27:13.the south-east. There could be some heavier showers around for the likes

:27:14. > :27:18.of Kent and Sussex for tomorrow morning's rush hour. Elsewhere, a

:27:19. > :27:21.dry picture with some decent sunshine. Still the north-westerly

:27:22. > :27:25.breeze, but lighter than it has been. Still feeding in some showers

:27:26. > :27:29.to Northern Ireland and Scotland. But drier with more sunshine and a

:27:30. > :27:33.lighter breeze should add up to a warmer feeling day. Up to 21 in the

:27:34. > :27:37.south-east. But in many areas temperatures still on the low side

:27:38. > :27:41.for the time of year and that is a theme that will take with us into

:27:42. > :27:46.the weekend with some chilly nights and if you're lucky to have Monday

:27:47. > :27:51.off, the stories changes and it would become very wet and windy.

:27:52. > :27:56.Here is Saturday. Not a bad day. Some heavier showers in the

:27:57. > :28:02.north-west. But a lot of dry weather and plenty of sunshine. But thanks

:28:03. > :28:07.to clear skies and the light breeze, Saturday night there is the risk of

:28:08. > :28:12.a touch of frost. It could be a very chilly night for August as we under

:28:13. > :28:17.this high pressure. We are are are set for a good looking day on

:28:18. > :28:20.Sunday. But by the end of the day, things are set to change and an area

:28:21. > :28:26.of low pressure coming in. I think it will bring some rain into

:28:27. > :28:30.Northern Ireland through Sunday and then plough across the British Isles

:28:31. > :28:42.for Monday. And Scotland will be driest and brightest. Thank you. Now
