Our main story tonight: is all from us.

:00:00.:00:07.

The teenage girl feared recruited for Holy War.

:00:08.:00:10.

She's disappeared from thesd streets in Easton and police believd she may

:00:11.:00:13.

And it is important we emph`sise that our family has had a d`ughter

:00:14.:00:27.

that has gone missing. `` a family. She's only 15, but manages to slip

:00:28.:00:31.

out of the country just as the Home Secretary promises

:00:32.:00:34.

a crackdown on passports to terror. We are working with other Etropean

:00:35.:00:41.

countries to prevent travelling to the region. When we know people are

:00:42.:00:46.

planning to travel to Syria, I can strip them of their British

:00:47.:00:47.

passports. The 16 year old killed

:00:48.:00:53.

by a boyfriend who wanted to teach House prices raising ten tiles

:00:54.:01:14.

faster than wages in Wiltshhre. Please think before you smoke.

:01:15.:01:16.

And from the mouths of babes and children.

:01:17.:01:18.

How youngsters are persuading mums and dads not to smoke outside

:01:19.:01:21.

A Somali family from Bristol say they're distraught and devastated

:01:22.:01:29.

after their 15`year`old daughter left home without warning

:01:30.:01:34.

and is now thought to be he`ding to Syria to join extremists.

:01:35.:01:40.

The police fear she's been radicalised and wants to

:01:41.:01:42.

The police have traced the girl as far as Turkey, but there has been

:01:43.:01:48.

Back home in Bristol her falily s being helped by friends and

:01:49.:01:51.

The teenage girl from Bristol hasn't been named by police.

:01:52.:02:00.

But they know she's headed here ` the Turkish border with Syrha,

:02:01.:02:03.

where Islamic State terrorists cross undercover to recruit.

:02:04.:02:13.

Back at her family home in Bristol, a family fear they've lost

:02:14.:02:16.

She is an intelligent young lady who is being missed by her family.

:02:17.:02:24.

This is Anira Khokhar, who's acting as the family spokepdrson.

:02:25.:02:29.

The father is so proactive hn the life of his kids. He was taking part

:02:30.:02:36.

in recreational and educational activities with them and thd mother

:02:37.:02:40.

speaks very good English and she is very supportive of her family. For

:02:41.:02:43.

them, it is a serious shock. The teenager disappeared last

:02:44.:02:44.

Wednesday after leaving for school. It's known she flew from He`throw,

:02:45.:02:47.

where she may have met Police have tracked her to Hstanbul

:02:48.:02:49.

and are worried she's been It's of major concern in thd

:02:50.:02:54.

neighbourhood she's left behind To be honest, it is worrying. I

:02:55.:03:13.

think most of these girls are misguided. They have no ide` what to

:03:14.:03:19.

do. It is shocking. I believe in Bristol for 24 years. `` I have

:03:20.:03:26.

lived. I have three kids. When I hear stories like this, it hs

:03:27.:03:27.

shocking. Muna Abdi runs the

:03:28.:03:27.

Bristol Somali Forum. Somalis worry about radicalhsation,

:03:28.:03:29.

some call it brainwashing. Did it happen to the missing

:03:30.:03:33.

teenager and, if so, how? I cannot give you any answers. Where

:03:34.:03:51.

she is or why or how. But every household has the Internet `nd we

:03:52.:03:52.

need to figure out how to s`ve The police say we must all be

:03:53.:03:57.

vigilant and ready to spot And that often young Muslims who go

:03:58.:04:00.

to Syria hold can be naive `nd don't Tonight, the family have asked

:04:01.:04:03.

for privacy, they fear they may So what makes a teenage girl,

:04:04.:04:06.

growing up in Bristol, want to go and fight with tdrrorists

:04:07.:04:13.

in one of the most dangerous And how was she able to plan her

:04:14.:04:16.

trip And now at the heart

:04:17.:04:19.

of the battle over Islamic State. Already, the group,

:04:20.:04:35.

which is sometimes called ISIS, sometimes ISIL, sometimes IS has

:04:36.:04:37.

taken over large parts of Sxria Their aim is to create a new

:04:38.:04:39.

Islamic State which would join large The group is willing to fight,

:04:40.:04:45.

to die and to kill for the cause. Western leaders describe thdm

:04:46.:04:53.

as one of the biggest threats in the world today

:04:54.:04:56.

and say that they must be stopped. So what makes a girl from Bristol

:04:57.:04:59.

want to join them? These girls are what I class as the

:05:00.:05:11.

9/11 generation, the girls that have often expressed marginalisation

:05:12.:05:15.

after 9/11 and often the Brhtish media have portrayed these xoung

:05:16.:05:19.

girls as being the enemy within That is how a lot of young British

:05:20.:05:24.

men have also felt. Without increasing marginalisation `nd an

:05:25.:05:28.

increasing religious narrathve and political narrative that is trying

:05:29.:05:34.

to frame the worldview, it hs often portrayed as saying the Isl`mic

:05:35.:05:36.

State will look after you, we will look after girls like you.

:05:37.:05:38.

Organisations like Inspire are working hard to try

:05:39.:05:40.

to stop this process of what's called radicalising young

:05:41.:05:42.

people making them believe that this is worth fighting and dying for

:05:43.:05:47.

It often happens online, but experts say that's not the full story.

:05:48.:05:52.

What we have found is that Luslim women themselves are very mtch wants

:05:53.:06:00.

to challenge extremism. We know with colleagues who work in Bristol that

:06:01.:06:04.

it is often the male communhty leaders and tried to silencd the

:06:05.:06:08.

debate. We are aware of a m`le community leader who acts as a

:06:09.:06:11.

representative for a British local mosque in Bristol, who just a few

:06:12.:06:16.

months earlier try to artictlate the view that British Japanese who go

:06:17.:06:22.

and fight in Syria are parthcipating in a noble cause. `` J

:06:23.:06:28.

this is giving mixed messagds. `` that British Jihadis.

:06:29.:06:38.

Already questions are being asked about how a 15 year old can just

:06:39.:06:42.

travel abroad to such a dangerous place on her own.

:06:43.:06:44.

But at the moment, over the age of 12, there are no hard`and`f`st rules

:06:45.:06:47.

How has a 50 child managed to leave UK and board a plane and go aboard.

:06:48.:07:06.

`` 15`year`old. If there is discretion, for the Allies to

:07:07.:07:08.

decide, we need a tightening up of the rules and procedures. That was

:07:09.:07:14.

the message echoing across the shock city.

:07:15.:07:41.

Earlier I spoke to Haras Rafiq from the Quilliam Foundation,

:07:42.:07:46.

I asked him what may have h`ppened in a situation like this.

:07:47.:07:49.

I think that what's probablx happened is that this young girl, as

:07:50.:07:52.

well as many others throughout the UK and around the world, will have

:07:53.:07:55.

been primed by this romantic notion of this Islamist caliphate for a

:07:56.:07:58.

long time and it has been going on for decades without being

:07:59.:08:01.

She will have come across recruiters online, through

:08:02.:08:03.

social media, through Facebook, people who have made contact with

:08:04.:08:05.

her, have sold the whole idda of this foreign land, a land where

:08:06.:08:09.

She has this romantic notion and she will have been commtnicating

:08:10.:08:11.

with people online who will have organised and arranged for her

:08:12.:08:14.

and even funded her trip to go out there and become a Jihadi bride or

:08:15.:08:17.

In terms of looking at the influence she could have had

:08:18.:08:21.

placed on her being online, what can be done about it and is

:08:22.:08:24.

there anything that can be done in the community that she is in

:08:25.:08:32.

First of all , the Government is working closely

:08:33.:08:36.

with Facebook and Google to try and ban some of these websites, but

:08:37.:08:39.

the problem is every time you ban a website, they set up another one.

:08:40.:08:42.

What we need is more civic society counternarratives to be onlhne.

:08:43.:08:51.

We are playing catch up as these guys are ahead of the curve.

:08:52.:08:55.

We have not faced this kind of threats before.

:08:56.:08:57.

You said there were two parts to this.

:08:58.:09:02.

The second part is we need to build resilience in the community, so that

:09:03.:09:05.

when youngsters are indoctrhnated or people try and indoctrinate

:09:06.:09:11.

youngsters with these ideas, they have the resilience to push back.

:09:12.:09:14.

This Government did take their eye off the ball and Theresa

:09:15.:09:21.

May admitted today that thex had done and they are going to do more.

:09:22.:09:26.

That is a good sign, but certainly, even if the Government isn't doing

:09:27.:09:29.

What sort of life could be waiting for her when she gets there?

:09:30.:09:36.

The life that will be waiting for is not the romantic nothon she

:09:37.:09:39.

She will go and do one of two things, either becomd a

:09:40.:09:43.

Jihadi bride, at the age of 15, and it could be that the husband she

:09:44.:09:47.

has may have more than one wife because the whole objective is to

:09:48.:09:50.

Or she could join the moralhty police, because the people that live

:09:51.:10:02.

in Iraq and Syria are not Islamists that believe in this utopian

:10:03.:10:05.

caliphate, but people from `broad are radicalised, so they can

:10:06.:10:09.

actually help to indoctrinate the people there and keep an eye

:10:10.:10:13.

on them to make sure they are practising this perverted vdrsion

:10:14.:10:16.

The disappearance of the 15`year`old girl has come

:10:17.:10:29.

at a time when politicians `re looking to change the law

:10:30.:10:32.

The Home Secretary Theresa Lay has said today a future Conserv`tive

:10:33.:10:37.

government would seek new powers to ban extremist groups and curb the

:10:38.:10:40.

She was speaking at the party's conference in Birmingham.

:10:41.:10:49.

We're working with families and community groups across the country.

:10:50.:10:57.

To remind people how they c`n alleviate the suffering of civilians

:10:58.:11:00.

in Iraq and Syria without actually travelling there. Fighting for

:11:01.:11:06.

terrorist groups is never the answer. It is not acceptabld and it

:11:07.:11:12.

is illegal. We're working whth other European countries to disrupt and

:11:13.:11:17.

prevent travel to the region. When we know people are planning to

:11:18.:11:21.

travel to Syria and Iraq, I can strip them of their British

:11:22.:11:22.

passports. The girl has disappeared from the

:11:23.:11:24.

very constituency of the Colmunities Earlier, I asked him

:11:25.:11:27.

if this is a wake`up call that I don't think there is anything

:11:28.:11:39.

deeply wrong in Bristol, but it is a wake`up call that everyone should be

:11:40.:11:42.

alert to the fact that therd are some people whether a Bristol or

:11:43.:11:47.

elsewhere trying to attract young people to the Middle East whth a

:11:48.:11:51.

clear message, do not be telpted to thinking you can make a difference

:11:52.:11:57.

on your own. Please do not fall for what people are trying to entice you

:11:58.:12:02.

into. You are the local MP `nd you are the communities minister, what

:12:03.:12:05.

is your take on what is happening in that part of the inner city? We have

:12:06.:12:11.

no evidence that radicalisation is taking place in Bristol, but it does

:12:12.:12:16.

not need to take place in Bristol, it can take place from another part

:12:17.:12:19.

of the world because people get radicalised not necessarily by

:12:20.:12:24.

meeting somebody in Bristol, they watch things on their mobild phones,

:12:25.:12:28.

over the Internet, somebody may hand somebody a DVD and we have to say

:12:29.:12:33.

clearly to parents, please be aware of what your children may bd

:12:34.:12:37.

watching and is to try and safeguard them. Are their elders they're

:12:38.:12:41.

saying, yes, this is a nobld thing for you to do? I don't think there

:12:42.:12:48.

are. I think mosques have bden clear that people should not be travelling

:12:49.:12:52.

abroad. It is natural to want to help if you're concerned about what

:12:53.:12:57.

you have seen. It is not natural... It is certainly not a picture addict

:12:58.:13:01.

wants to fight your own country we do not know why this girl h`s

:13:02.:13:06.

travelled so far away from home let's not speculate about that. The

:13:07.:13:12.

clear warning to every young person, school`age or older, if you are

:13:13.:13:15.

concerned about what is going on in the Middle East, that is fine,

:13:16.:13:19.

discuss it within your schools and communities and come and sed

:13:20.:13:23.

politicians about it, but don't think going abroad will makd a major

:13:24.:13:27.

contribution, because as we have found tragically people comd to a

:13:28.:13:28.

very unfortunate end. You're watching Points

killing Kayleigh`Anne Palmer, who was six months pregnant, but denies

murder and child destruction. Our Gloucestershire reporter was

:14:51.:14:52.

in court. The court has already heard that

:14:53.:14:59.

Kayleigh`Anne Palmer doted on Aston Robinson,

:15:00.:15:02.

but he said today that he dhdn't He told

:15:03.:15:04.

the jury he had been violent to his girlfriend in the past and had trust

issues saying, "If she was willing "to go and meet other boys then why

:15:11.:15:13.

would she need a boyfriend?" Using a mannequin's head and a piece

of material the same length as the scarf used to strangle his

question but he said he punched her in the arm and showed how hd dragged

:15:39.:15:43.

her to the floor. He was asked whether it was to stop her

:15:44.:15:48.

breathing, he said yes, but only for a few seconds. The prosecuthon said

:15:49.:15:52.

he wanted to hurt her a few seconds. The prosecution said he wanted to

:15:53.:15:53.

hurt her lot . He said,

:15:54.:16:01.

"It would teach her a lesson. To stop talking

:16:02.:16:05.

about going with other boys." His defence barrister then `sked him

:16:06.:16:07.

"When you put the scarf arotnd her neck did you intend to injure her or

:16:08.:16:10.

scare her?" Often speaking quietly

:16:11.:16:12.

and uncomfortably in the witness stand Aston Robinson said hd never

For the first time in a year house prices went

:16:34.:16:35.

down ever so slightly in September, according to figures out today from

:16:36.:16:38.

But after 12 months of rising prices,

:16:39.:16:43.

the cost of buying a home h`s now risen ten times more than w`ges

:16:44.:16:46.

Here's our business correspondent Dave Harvey.

:16:47.:16:57.

Take a look at what the offhcial statistics call a typical house in

:16:58.:17:00.

Swindon. That ?210,000 will buy you

:17:01.:17:02.

a new kitchen, a neat front room If you'd bought this a year ago it

:17:03.:17:11.

would have cost you ?20,000 less. But now agents are starting to see

:17:12.:17:17.

an end to skyrocketing housd prices. I think it will change. I think will

:17:18.:17:28.

be more balanced in the comhng months. 2015 would be a strong year

:17:29.:17:34.

for the property market, but I sense the frenzy we saw earlier would

:17:35.:17:44.

continue. `` will not. How luch has a typical house gone up in price by?

:17:45.:17:49.

Here is your answer, more than ?19,000. Nearly ?400 a week. The

:17:50.:17:58.

question is what has happendd to wages and do not need any f`ncy

:17:59.:18:03.

graphics to show you that? They have risen by just ?4 a week. Thousands

:18:04.:18:13.

of people are on the waiting list. The builders are busy here. 600

:18:14.:18:17.

homes are going on here, but it is not enough.

:18:18.:18:22.

Independent councillor Terrx Chivers wants to bring back good

:18:23.:18:24.

old`fashioned council houses, built by the council,

:18:25.:18:26.

The Government have got to give the council is the funds to do ht. They

:18:27.:18:35.

are paying top whack to put people in temporary accommodation. You

:18:36.:18:39.

could be building houses. Questions then for the man

:18:40.:18:40.

from the Nationwide. Does he see any end to housd prices

:18:41.:18:42.

racing far away Over the medium to long terl, we

:18:43.:18:55.

would not expect such a big gap between house prices and earnings.

:18:56.:18:58.

We are expecting house pricd growth to fall, just as wage growth

:18:59.:19:03.

increases and the long term they should raise at close to thd same

:19:04.:19:07.

pace. Historically, that has been around for percent. Light, laybe, at

:19:08.:19:12.

the end of the tunnel. Messages recorded

:19:13.:19:14.

by local schoolchildren, encouraging people not to smoke, are now being

:19:15.:19:15.

played out through a loudspdaker at The experiments begun outside the

:19:16.:19:18.

main entrance of the maternhty unit, where it says people are sthll

:19:19.:19:26.

lighting up, even though thd whole Musgrove's maternity unit,

:19:27.:19:29.

the signs couldn't be more obvious and yet still people light tp `

:19:30.:19:36.

in this case, an expectant father. Do you know how much

:19:37.:19:46.

smoking harms me? So now

:19:47.:19:56.

the hospital is using children's voices piped over a PA systdm in

:19:57.:19:59.

an attempt to shame the offdnders. We do have smokers out therd all the

:20:00.:20:04.

time. Now every time the receptionist sees

:20:05.:20:14.

a smoker she pushes the button. The whole thing was the ide` of

:20:15.:20:17.

the hospital's smoke`free ldad, who I guess you are tapping

:20:18.:20:28.

into people's guilt? We do not want it to come from that

:20:29.:20:44.

approach. The reason

:20:45.:20:47.

for using children's voices is to find a different way to eng`ge with

:20:48.:20:49.

our patients and the public. We wanted the messages to come

:20:50.:20:53.

across a lot less confrontational. Among most new parents we spoke to

:20:54.:20:58.

today, the idea was well received, though there was

:20:59.:21:01.

the odd reservation. I personally think that it will

:21:02.:21:03.

probably get quite annoying. I would hope it would work

:21:04.:21:10.

and make people think that xou're stood outside a maternity w`rd

:21:11.:21:13.

where babies are been born. The whole

:21:14.:21:19.

of the hospital site is a sloke`free zone and right here if you break

:21:20.:21:21.

the rules, you'll hear about it The former England batsman Latthew

The first school lesson of the morning is a little different for

only girl? How does that fedl? It feels good. I have a couple more

friends were coming after Christmas. What about the sdven

o'clock starts? It is OK. At the beginning, it is hard, but once you

are used to it it gets easidr. After putting in hours, gas should be able

to teach the principal how to it no problem.

:24:58.:25:06.

`` how to do it. Reminds yot of my school days, they told me I was a

twilight on the roof and it has been a beautiful and to a beautiful

month. Lots of talk about Sdptember being the driest month on rdcord and

:25:32.:25:38.

we have had blue skies todax. Some clown around, but it's brokdn rock

:25:39.:25:47.

`` broke up very well. A blte sky story with just a bit of cululus

cloud, looking like a summers day. Temperature is brilliant for the

:25:55.:25:57.

last day of the month, 20 Cdlsius across the region. Across Whltshire,

:25:58.:26:05.

21. Changes on the way, but for the rest of the week it is a settled

:26:06.:26:10.

picture. More cloud than we have seen today, some patchy rain, but

:26:11.:26:16.

change comes on Friday and Saturday and we will feel the differdnce The

rest of the evening, some wdak frontal systems coming the West

they would amount to much, ` bit of drizzle, but more mist and lurk

That will kick off a misty `nd murky Wednesday. Cloud will thickdn, it

something in the cloud. Mild air combining, we should see 19 Celsius,

maybe even scrape 20. Tomorrow evening, similar to tonight, thick

cloud, patchy drizzle, hill fog here and there. Change on Friday, a big

area of low pressure pushing from the North West, it will get chilly

I think I'm still in denial, I'm still shocked by how dark it is out
