Britain's most high profile Islamist preacher, Anjem Choudary,

:00:00.:00:07.

is convicted of encouraging support for so-called Islamic State

:00:08.:00:11.

The 49-year-old, who's spent 20 years spreading

:00:12.:00:14.

He'd used social media to encourage supporters to back IS

:00:15.:00:20.

Those speeches and the material he posted was used

:00:21.:00:22.

Among his followers, Michael Adebolajo -

:00:23.:00:28.

one of the men who murdered Fusilier Lee Rigby

:00:29.:00:30.

We will have the latest from the Old Bailey.

:00:31.:00:41.

Also tonight - Sailing to gold - Giles Scott will be crowned Olympic

:00:42.:00:44.

champion this evening in the finn-class sailing

:00:45.:00:46.

High hopes in the velodrome tonight for Britain's golden couple,

as Laura Trott and Jason Kenney attempt to cycle into

A 52-year-old man is killed after being attacked by a dog that

:00:52.:00:55.

had been returned to its owner - despite concerns it was dangerous.

:00:56.:01:02.

The cost of living on the rise - higher petrol prices helped push

:01:03.:01:05.

inflation up further than expected last month.

:01:06.:01:06.

And taking flight - scientists blame the decline of wild

:01:07.:01:09.

bees in England on the use of controversial pesticides.

:01:10.:01:12.

And coming up in the sport on BBC News:

:01:13.:01:15.

Nicola Adams began the defence of her Olympic boxing title

:01:16.:01:17.

by guaranteeing at least a bronze, as she reached the semi-finals

:01:18.:01:20.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:21.:01:48.

The radical British-born preacher Anjem Choudary has been found guilty

:01:49.:01:50.

of inviting support for so called Islamic State.

:01:51.:01:52.

Another man was convicted of the same offence.

:01:53.:01:55.

The Crown Prosecution service said the pair had used the power

:01:56.:01:58.

of social media to try to influence their followers -

:01:59.:02:00.

including the young and the vulnerable.

:02:01.:02:03.

The men were found guilty three weeks ago at a trial

:02:04.:02:06.

at the Old Bailey, but for legal reasons the media has been unable

:02:07.:02:09.

Here's our home affairs correspondent June Kelly

:02:10.:02:15.

The whole world, one day, my dear brothers,

:02:16.:02:17.

Including Hackney, and Walthamstow, and Moscow, and New York.

:02:18.:02:23.

All of the countries, inshallah, under the

:02:24.:02:25.

Anjem Choudary has long been a provocative figure.

:02:26.:02:36.

For years, the police and intelligence agencies

:02:37.:02:39.

have been monitoring his movements and speeches.

:02:40.:02:45.

He knew this and, as a trained lawyer, he knew how to stay

:02:46.:02:48.

on the right side of the law - until now.

:02:49.:02:51.

If you look at his influence and the impact, that was then

:02:52.:02:56.

available to people across the world.

:02:57.:02:58.

Without a doubt, those speeches and material he posted was used

:02:59.:03:01.

In my view, the UK is a safer place with him behind bars.

:03:02.:03:10.

Choudary has now been convicted of inviting support for so-called

:03:11.:03:13.

The jury wasn't told that one of his keenest followers,

:03:14.:03:20.

Siddhartha Dhar, fled the UK while on bail and is joined IS.

:03:21.:03:26.

He is suspected of being the new "Jihadi John",

:03:27.:03:29.

Dhar posted this picture of himself when he arrived in Syria.

:03:30.:03:34.

His newborn son in one arm, an AK-47 in the other.

:03:35.:03:39.

The injustice, and the oppression done to the Muslim community

:03:40.:03:42.

And amongst others to fall under Anjem Choudary's spell

:03:43.:03:48.

He was one of the pair that went on to murder Fusilier Lee Rigby

:03:49.:03:53.

Muslims are dying daily by British soldiers.

:03:54.:03:59.

Richard Dart was another Anjem Choudary disciple.

:04:00.:04:01.

Here, Choudary was actually converting him to Islam.

:04:02.:04:11.

Three years ago, Dart was jailed for terrorism offences.

:04:12.:04:18.

As a film-maker, his brother met the radical preacher

:04:19.:04:20.

He's kind of like a father figure to these young guys,

:04:21.:04:31.

He radicalises people, he indoctrinates them

:04:32.:04:35.

Choudary wasn't always so anti-Western.

:04:36.:04:42.

As a student, he liked to drink and wasn't offended by pictures

:04:43.:04:45.

But from his 20s, he became a political zealot.

:04:46.:04:52.

Anjem Choudary delivered his speeches on streets like this,

:04:53.:04:54.

Down the years, he's been linked to countless extremists,

:04:55.:04:59.

But he was never charged with any serious offence.

:05:00.:05:06.

It was the conflict in Syria which changed this.

:05:07.:05:12.

In the summer of 2014, the IS leadership declared

:05:13.:05:15.

the establishment of an Islamic state.

:05:16.:05:20.

Choudary pledged an oath of allegiance to it and, in talks,

:05:21.:05:22.

The leader who relished being at the centre of events,

:05:23.:05:28.

and had been a teacher to so many, had crossed the legal line.

:05:29.:05:34.

Anjem Choudary, in his police custody picture.

:05:35.:05:36.

After two decades, his inflammatory rhetoric has finally been silenced.

:05:37.:05:47.

Well, Sophie, the reason we can now report this verdict is because a

:05:48.:05:53.

separate trial ended here today of a group of men who had been convicted

:05:54.:05:58.

of a similar offence. When this Choudhary verdict was brought in,

:05:59.:06:01.

you could almost feel the wave of relief running through Scotland

:06:02.:06:05.

Yard, through Westminster, to the headquarters of the security

:06:06.:06:09.

service, MI5. Anjem Choudary fought this prosecution. He went to court

:06:10.:06:13.

and tried unsuccessfully to have it stopped. When the jury brought in

:06:14.:06:18.

the guilty verdict, this man, who has always been so animated and

:06:19.:06:22.

vocal, he showed no emotion at all and he was led from the dock, down

:06:23.:06:26.

the steps and taken to prison. He will be back at the Old Bailey next

:06:27.:06:28.

month for sentencing. To Rio now where Team

:06:29.:06:31.

GB are guaranteed yet another gold medal -

:06:32.:06:33.

this time in the finn-class sailing after Giles Scott put in such

:06:34.:06:35.

a stunning performance And there are high hopes

:06:36.:06:37.

for Great Britain in the velodrome tonight - with the golden couple

:06:38.:06:43.

Laura Trott and Jason Kenney The coronation of Britain's new king

:06:44.:07:01.

of the waves. This was the moment at the weekend when Giles Scott knew he

:07:02.:07:06.

was guaranteed gold. With his final race in a few hours, it will be

:07:07.:07:10.

official. He was overlooked at London 2012 for Sir Ben Ainslie, but

:07:11.:07:15.

Britain's greatest Olympic sailor has a worthy successor. It's an

:07:16.:07:19.

amazing achievement by Giles. Totally dominant performance,

:07:20.:07:24.

really. The first race, I can relate to that from my own Olympics as

:07:25.:07:29.

being a bit of a struggle. After that, he really dominated the field.

:07:30.:07:33.

The fact he has won gold without even having to compete in the medal

:07:34.:07:38.

race, it is not unheard of in Olympic sailing, but it is quite

:07:39.:07:42.

rare. Here is another man that had to wait. Mark Cavendish, the elusive

:07:43.:07:46.

first Olympic medal, a case of thrills after the spills. Despite

:07:47.:07:50.

causing that crash, he recovered to take silver, before hinting that

:07:51.:07:57.

this could be his final games. I can't do that cycle thing again, you

:07:58.:08:01.

know? That Olympic cycling? I know I said it eight years ago, you never

:08:02.:08:05.

know. I'm certainly going to retire at some point. When I go home,

:08:06.:08:11.

people get sick of me and tell me to get back on my bike, so... Of the

:08:12.:08:15.

athletics, a moment to light up the games. Brazil's De Silver, about to

:08:16.:08:22.

leap into international folklore. He's got it! No way in your life! It

:08:23.:08:28.

was ten centimetres higher than he had ever jumped before, earning him

:08:29.:08:33.

gold and the adulation of his country. That is what the Olympics

:08:34.:08:38.

can do. But for sheer will to win, it is hard to top this. America's

:08:39.:08:43.

Sean a Miller, not so much running as diving for 400 metres gold. And

:08:44.:08:49.

it worked. A picture of pure determination. Rather more routine,

:08:50.:08:56.

but no less glorious, Kenya's David Rudisha retained his 800 metres

:08:57.:09:03.

crown in dominant fashion. And this afternoon, Usain Bolt, starting his

:09:04.:09:07.

quest for the 200 metres, in predictably comfortable style,

:09:08.:09:11.

safely through the heats. It could be another golden night for British

:09:12.:09:16.

cycling's golden couple. Jason Kenney qualifying in the heats of

:09:17.:09:24.

the Kieron, while Laura Trott leads in the omnium. Off Copacabana Beach,

:09:25.:09:30.

the open water swimming. A beautiful backdrop to the most brutal of

:09:31.:09:36.

races. In the redcap, Jack Purnell jostling for a before being

:09:37.:09:39.

disqualified just two metres from the finish. He was not impressed.

:09:40.:09:46.

You put so much into this, four years of brutal hard work, and it is

:09:47.:09:50.

ruined by a couple of judges that just want to pull out a few cards.

:09:51.:09:56.

Of his day wasn't great, how about this? Reigning diving champion, but

:09:57.:10:01.

not for much longer. Proof that even the best can sometimes get it

:10:02.:10:04.

horribly wrong. Let's take a look at the medal

:10:05.:10:07.

table so far on Day 11. In the lead is the USA

:10:08.:10:10.

with 27 gold medals. Great Britain is in second

:10:11.:10:15.

place with 16 golds - though as we were saying earlier

:10:16.:10:18.

we are guaranteed a 17th gold in the next hour thanks

:10:19.:10:21.

to the sailor Giles Scott. That will take our total tally to 42

:10:22.:10:24.

- but surely there are more to come Thanks, Sophie. No wonder they call

:10:25.:10:41.

this place the medal factory for Team GB. Track cycling in the

:10:42.:10:46.

velodrome has given the country 30% of its gold medals over the last

:10:47.:10:51.

three Games, in Beijing, London and Rio. In these games, seven medals,

:10:52.:10:57.

four of them gold medals. And the prospect of more this evening, not

:10:58.:11:00.

least from Jason Kenney. If he can win, it will be a sixth Olympic gold

:11:01.:11:05.

for him, drawing him level with Sir Chris Hoy. No man in British Olympic

:11:06.:11:09.

history has won more gold medals than that. Then his fiancee, Laura

:11:10.:11:15.

Trott, going for what would be a fourth Olympic gold. That would make

:11:16.:11:18.

her the most successful British woman in Olympic history. Together,

:11:19.:11:23.

that household will have won ten golds, one silver if both are

:11:24.:11:27.

successful this evening. Surely, the most successful Olympic couple that

:11:28.:11:31.

has ever been. When you consider they are just 28 and 24, just

:11:32.:11:35.

imagine how many more they could potentially go on and win. If Jason

:11:36.:11:40.

Kenney continues at this rate, you could become the second most

:11:41.:11:42.

successful Olympian to Michael Phelps of all time, that is how good

:11:43.:11:47.

they have been so far. Team GB, still ahead of China, just. If they

:11:48.:11:51.

can continue that and finish in second, it will be the first time

:11:52.:11:55.

ever they have finished ahead of that Olympic powerhouse. With the

:11:56.:11:59.

likes of Nicola Adams, Mo Farah and the Brownlees to come, there is more

:12:00.:12:01.

to come. Inflation rose more than expected

Chessington. Our top story this evening:

:14:52.:14:55.

Anjem Choudary, Britain's most high profile Islamist preacher,

:14:56.:14:58.

has been convicted of encouraging support for so called

:14:59.:15:00.

Islamic State And still to come, how Simone Biles became

:15:01.:15:02.

the gymnastics star of Rio. Usain Bolt is comfortably

through to the semi-finals of the men's 200 metres,

:15:14.:15:16.

breezing past the field, as he eyes his third

:15:17.:15:18.

gold of the Games. The number of wild bees

:15:19.:15:37.

across England is on the decline They say the sharp fall of up to 30%

:15:38.:15:39.

can be linked to the use of a controversial pesticide

:15:40.:15:44.

which is temporarily The research, which was published

:15:45.:15:46.

in the journal Nature communications, was carried out

:15:47.:15:51.

by scientists based in Oxfordshire. Rebecca Morelle

:15:52.:15:53.

is there for us now. Well, it's an idyllic rural scene

:15:54.:16:04.

here but across the countryside we are facing a major problem. Bees are

:16:05.:16:09.

in dramatic decline and the problem has been linked to habitat loss,

:16:10.:16:14.

climate change, and disease. But in recent years, a light has been shone

:16:15.:16:21.

on a group of pesticides called niconicotinoids and scientists

:16:22.:16:23.

believe they have evidence that they are causing a wide-spread problem.

:16:24.:16:28.

They're vital for the environment - pollinating our flowers,

:16:29.:16:31.

But Britain's bees are in trouble and now scientists say there's

:16:32.:16:37.

evidence that pesticides are linked to their widespread decline.

:16:38.:16:42.

In farmland across the country, neonicotinoid chemicals have been

:16:43.:16:46.

This field of oilseed rape is just about ready for harvest and it's

:16:47.:16:53.

this crop that's treated with the insecticide.

:16:54.:17:01.

The chemical is applied to seeds before they are planted and this

:17:02.:17:04.

protects the plants from pests as they grow.

:17:05.:17:06.

But since 2013, farms haven't been allowed to use the pesticide,

:17:07.:17:09.

after the European Union put a temporary ban in place.

:17:10.:17:17.

Smaller, lab-base studies suggested they were harming bees,

:17:18.:17:21.

however this it least research from the Centre for Ecology

:17:22.:17:24.

and Hydrology, analysed their effects on dozens of species

:17:25.:17:26.

across the whole of England and they found that bees that

:17:27.:17:29.

foraged on neonicotinoid treated oilseed rape were three times more

:17:30.:17:31.

likely to be in decline than the species that didn't.

:17:32.:17:37.

What we've been able to do is massively increase the scale

:17:38.:17:40.

We are looking at the whole of England.

:17:41.:17:43.

We are looking at long-time periods, over 18 years and looking at 62

:17:44.:17:46.

And it's this massive increase in scale which separates this study

:17:47.:17:54.

But one company that makes neonicotinoids says it is not clear

:17:55.:17:59.

that the pesticide is to blame and the ban is hurting farmers.

:18:00.:18:02.

The alternatives, when it comes to growing oilseed rape,

:18:03.:18:06.

in the UK landscape, seem to be very few and the ones

:18:07.:18:10.

We are seeing a lot of destruction of crops out there and farmers

:18:11.:18:18.

are really struggling to be able to grow this crop in the UK now.

:18:19.:18:24.

This growing body of research, on the plight of bees, is currently

:18:25.:18:32.

Next year they'll decide whether to lift the ban

:18:33.:18:35.

It's clearly an incredibly complex issue. One of the biggest problems

:18:36.:18:44.

is that it's nearly impossible to grow oilseed rape without

:18:45.:18:51.

pesticides. If you get rid of neonicotinoids you have to replace

:18:52.:18:54.

them with another chemical and that may bring a whole host of other

:18:55.:18:58.

environmental problems but on the other hand bees are eception, they

:18:59.:19:01.

pollinate so many different crops. One thing for sure, is that it is

:19:02.:19:05.

going to be an incredibly difficult decision.

:19:06.:19:12.

A man has died in West Yorkshire after being attacked by a dog,

:19:13.:19:15.

a week after the animal had been returned to its owner

:19:16.:19:17.

It is thought 52-year-old David Ellam was trying

:19:18.:19:21.

to protect his own Yorkshire terrier when the larger dog turned on him..

:19:22.:19:25.

West Yorkshire police said the dog involved had been seized by officers

:19:26.:19:28.

in June following concerns about its safety.

:19:29.:19:29.

Sophie, it happened in that street, as the victim David Ellam was

:19:30.:19:42.

walking his own dog, a Yorkshire terrier yesterday morning. The

:19:43.:19:45.

neighbours say they saw what happened, that he was seriously

:19:46.:19:49.

injured to his leg, his arm and his face. He was badly bledding and

:19:50.:19:54.

collapsed. He was taken to hospital, but died 12 hours later. Police

:19:55.:19:59.

removed this larger dog and it's been taken away to kennels. The case

:20:00.:20:04.

has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission because

:20:05.:20:07.

that dog had been invested by officers a short while ago. It had

:20:08.:20:15.

been seized follow reports about its safety but it was returned to this

:20:16.:20:18.

community where its owners lived, just a matter of days ago. A

:20:19.:20:24.

29-year-old man, who owns that dog, was arrested following the attack.

:20:25.:20:27.

He's been bailed pending further inquiries.

:20:33.:20:35.

reveals patchy NHS care for the condition across England.

:20:36.:20:37.

While some regions appear to meet national standards in terms

:20:38.:20:39.

of offering support, the Health Secretary says

:20:40.:20:41.

Jeremy Hunt said tackling the disease was a key priority

:20:42.:20:45.

but charities said the "postcode lottery" of care was unacceptable.

:20:46.:20:47.

Nan's had dementia now for about 16 years and so she's in quite

:20:48.:20:59.

an advanced stage but she's got incredible care

:21:00.:21:02.

by people who really care about her personally.

:21:03.:21:11.

The actress, Carey Mulligan, talking there about

:21:12.:21:13.

her grandmother's experience with dementia.

:21:14.:21:15.

She joined the Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, at a photocall,

:21:16.:21:18.

as she became the first UK global Dementia Friends ambassador,

:21:19.:21:20.

encouraging volunteers to learn more about supporting people

:21:21.:21:22.

There are ways to live well with Alzheimer's and so as much

:21:23.:21:37.

as there is a fear to it, of course, in families,

:21:38.:21:39.

especially when it's been through several generations,

:21:40.:21:41.

we are also trying to build a better society for people

:21:42.:21:44.

But the Health Secretary says local services could do better

:21:45.:21:47.

as he launched a new dementia atlas, showing how many patients have

:21:48.:21:50.

had the required care review in the last year.

:21:51.:21:52.

In Somerset, for example, fewer than 50% had their care reviewed.

:21:53.:21:55.

In Newark in Sherwood it was nearly 70% and in South Tyneside more

:21:56.:21:59.

Today's initiative also aims to promote so-called

:22:00.:22:03.

dementia-friendly communities, including Sevenoaks here in Kent.

:22:04.:22:07.

That's where local organisations work together, to try to raise

:22:08.:22:10.

awareness of dementia, with schemes, including one

:22:11.:22:14.

which helps older people who may be out shopping and become

:22:15.:22:16.

This dementia cafe in a local theatre runs twice monthly.

:22:17.:22:24.

People with dementia and their careers gather

:22:25.:22:25.

My mum enjoys it, so it makes it a positive experience and something

:22:26.:22:32.

And for my dad it means he meets other carers,

:22:33.:22:36.

who obviously understand the situation he is in.

:22:37.:22:45.

But local organisers acknowledge that more needs

:22:46.:22:46.

We'd like to be able to reach more people with more services

:22:47.:22:54.

So, you know, maybe we only reach one in ten of the total population

:22:55.:23:00.

living with dementia at the moment and we'd like to improve on that.

:23:01.:23:04.

Health authorities in Wales and Northern Ireland both said

:23:05.:23:07.

they were investing more in services for those affected by dementia.

:23:08.:23:13.

Scotland will announce a major new strategy later this year.

:23:14.:23:15.

Across the UK, few would disagree with the need to raise care

:23:16.:23:18.

Back to the Olympics now and one of the big stars of these games

:23:19.:23:29.

is the American gymnast Simone Biles.

:23:30.:23:30.

In just one week the 19-year-old has already managed to get three Olympic

:23:31.:23:33.

Here's our Sports Correspondent Natalie Pirks.

:23:34.:23:46.

In gymnastics constant quest for perfection, one woman is setting the

:23:47.:23:53.

bar high. In a blur of crystals, with a megawatt smile, Simone Biles

:23:54.:23:59.

has twaken these Olympics by stoorm. But the 19-year-old isn't phased. .

:24:00.:24:03.

I'm enjoying it etch V our whole team is doing so well. Wow, it is

:24:04.:24:12.

amazing. Nadia Cominec's perfect 10 on the

:24:13.:24:17.

bars 40 years ago remains the gold standard. With scoring now

:24:18.:24:23.

different, it can never be repeated but byes floor are you teen comes

:24:24.:24:26.

close. She has a move named after her, so how does she do it? Her tiny

:24:27.:24:31.

frame packs a powerful punch. The short run-up gives her the strength

:24:32.:24:34.

to spring into the double layout reaching up to two times her height.

:24:35.:24:39.

The half twist with the blind landing is so difficult, that no-one

:24:40.:24:44.

had ever landed it successfully in a World Championships before. But she

:24:45.:24:49.

makes it look so simple. The skills that she is performing on a

:24:50.:24:53.

day-to-day basis are incredibly difficult but she makes them look so

:24:54.:24:56.

easy. We have seen training videos of her, where she is performing

:24:57.:25:00.

harder ski.s I think that's her secret. She is able to perform to a

:25:01.:25:05.

higher level but when it comes to competition she is able to drop a

:25:06.:25:09.

level and she's performing in her comfort zone. A foster child,

:25:10.:25:14.

adopted by her grand parents, she caught the gymnastics bug at the age

:25:15.:25:19.

of six. 14 years later, she holds the most World Championships golds

:25:20.:25:27.

of any woman in history Dominic was part of the successful team in the

:25:28.:25:32.

'60s. She says we're witnessing history. She is not Mohammed ally.

:25:33.:25:38.

She is not going to voice being the greatest of old time. However we can

:25:39.:25:42.

say she is the great e of all time today. There may be more in the

:25:43.:25:48.

future but at the moment we have never seen anyonemore gifted. Last

:25:49.:25:51.

night on the beam she proved she was human afterall. That will be a

:25:52.:25:56.

deduction. Putting her hands down with a technical fall, yet it was

:25:57.:26:00.

still good enough for bronze, to go with the three golds. There are

:26:01.:26:03.

seemingly no limits to the 258ents of the woman who can fly. Well, in

:26:04.:26:09.

the next half hour she goes for the fourth gold in the floor. Arguably

:26:10.:26:12.

her best event. Her difficult any tariff is so much higher than her

:26:13.:26:17.

competitors she already has a head start. So, if all goes well, she

:26:18.:26:21.

will win her fifth gold of the games at just 19. If you hadn't heard her

:26:22.:26:23.

name before, you certainly have now. We almost matched the Rio

:26:24.:26:40.

temperatures in Scotland today. It was here where we hit 27 through

:26:41.:26:43.

this afternoon. Other parts of western UK warmer than yesterday as

:26:44.:26:47.

well. And with the day that little bit warmer, night not as chilly.

:26:48.:26:53.

Most have a fine day. A few mist and fog patches across the east. The

:26:54.:26:58.

chance of one or two showers and maybe the odd rumble of thunder in

:26:59.:27:02.

Northern Ireland. Temperatures holding up into the teens in cities.

:27:03.:27:07.

You wake up to Wednesday on another sunny start for the vast majority of

:27:08.:27:11.

the UK. . For many it'll stay that way but a few exceptions. Northern

:27:12.:27:14.

Ireland, morning sunshine gives way to outbreaks of rain and by the end

:27:15.:27:17.

of the afternoon a few showers in the west of Scotland. The odd rumble

:27:18.:27:25.

of thirned with. 27 in the East Midlands, 25, maybe 26 again in

:27:26.:27:28.

Highland Scotland. A lovely evening will follow but rain until Northern

:27:29.:27:31.

Ireland tomorrow evening tomorrow night and turning wet for a time in

:27:32.:27:35.

Wales and across southern counties of England. The odd rumble of

:27:36.:27:40.

thunder with that. Into Thursday morning, the rumble storms dissipate

:27:41.:27:44.

and may give a welcome drink to gardens into southern England before

:27:45.:27:49.

showers fade. For most again on Thursday, a predom in factually dry

:27:50.:27:53.

day. Not as warm, getting cooler but enjoy the dry, sunny weather whilst

:27:54.:27:58.

you have t on Friday better drier weather will be northern Scotland.

:27:59.:28:01.

Eastern areas dry and bright. Wet and windy weather arriving in the

:28:02.:28:03.

south-west. Sunshine and showers later. If you are spending the

:28:04.:28:07.

weekend under canvass, look away now. Big unseasonally detail of low

:28:08.:28:13.

pressure set to push in. On Saturday rainfall amounts will vary

:28:14.:28:15.

drastically from one place to the other. A case of heavy thundery

:28:16.:28:20.

showers. Of more concern for outdoor events could be the wind,

:28:21.:28:23.

potentially touching galeforce in England and Wales.

:28:24.:28:26.

You need to go away and do something about that. Change it.

:28:27.:28:31.

A reminder of the main story this evening: Am gem Chowdhury, Britain's

:28:32.:28:36.

most high-profile Islamist preacher has been convicted of inviting

:28:37.:28:41.

support for so-called Islamic state. --
