0:00:10 > 0:00:14Good evening, I'm Asad Ahmad.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17A decade after a Norwegian student was murdered in London,
0:00:17 > 0:00:20her father has told the main suspect in the investigation that the case
0:00:20 > 0:00:26"will never go away" until he faces justice.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Martine Magnussen was found strangled after a night out
0:00:28 > 0:00:32with friends in Mayfair and was seen on CCTV leaving with fellow
0:00:32 > 0:00:36student Farouk Abdulhak.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39He then fled the country, but for the first time tonight,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42his family has given us a response to the accusations.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Here's Caroline Davis.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Laughing and smiling, recording a message for her friend.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53This is Martine Magnussen, a Norwegian business student.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57She was studying in London when she was killed ten years ago.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Today her father was in the capital to lay flowers at the place her body
0:01:01 > 0:01:04was found, in the basement of a block of flats
0:01:04 > 0:01:07in Great Portland Street.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10This is a place where my life was turned upside down, my family's
0:01:10 > 0:01:15life was turned upside down.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Martine had been partying at a night club called Maddox.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21She left with a friend and classmate, Farouk Abdulhak.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25This CCTV, released today, shows them leaving together.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28It was the last time Martine was seen alive.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Her body was discovered the next day partially covered by rubble.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34She'd been raped and strangled.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37This is Farouk at Heathrow Airport.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41He left the country that day and is believed to be in Yemen.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43It's a country the UK doesn't have an extradition treaty with.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46He's refused to return to the UK.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I would ask him to make himself available for British authorities
0:01:49 > 0:01:53and explain what happened to Martine because we as a family also need
0:01:53 > 0:01:56to know what actually happened there, to give us the opportunity
0:01:56 > 0:02:01as a family to have a closure in this case.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Farouk is the son of a billionaire businessman, Shaher Abdulhak.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Police believe his family could be an important part
0:02:07 > 0:02:10of getting him back to the UK.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11In what's believed to be the first statement from Farouk's
0:02:12 > 0:02:14family, his father said...
0:02:30 > 0:02:33This is an international case - it remains high-profile in Norway.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36The family and authorities believe it's important to keep it
0:02:36 > 0:02:40in the public eye around the world to influence Farouk to come forward.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I appeal that he does consider his position,
0:02:42 > 0:02:46that he takes a responsible position and returns.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Also, if he has family and friends who can influence him and tell him
0:02:50 > 0:02:53to do the right thing, I urge them to speak to him
0:02:53 > 0:02:56and say now is the time - ten yeas has passed -
0:02:56 > 0:02:59now is the time to come back and resolve this.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01The Met say he would face charges of rape and murder
0:03:01 > 0:03:04if he came back to the UK.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Ten years on, Martine's father says he will continue to fight.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09This case is not going away.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10So you still have hope?
0:03:10 > 0:03:17I'm convinced that this case will be solved.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20The Government has earmarked millions of pounds to try and ease
0:03:20 > 0:03:24racial and religious tensions, and the one place in London to get
0:03:24 > 0:03:27a share of the money is in Waltham Forest.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30It's supposed to fund ways of bringing communities together,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33although the area already prides itself on doing just that.
0:03:33 > 0:03:39So Karl Mercer has been looking at how the money might be spent.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42It could be a high street anywhere in London.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Pretty typical scenes, a pretty typical mix of people,
0:03:44 > 0:03:48and a pretty typical mix of languages spoken here.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Waltham Forest is a borough that prides itself on the way
0:03:50 > 0:03:55its different communities get on.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57In fact, just last week it was announced it would be
0:03:57 > 0:04:00London's first Borough of Culture, this video part of its
0:04:00 > 0:04:03bid to win the prize.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06What are we doing first?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Today it won something else.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12A visit from a government minister and £3 million to spend on so-called
0:04:12 > 0:04:16social integration over the next three years.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19They understand bits of Punjabi, especially when it comes to food.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21The Communities Secretary, Sajid Javid, talking
0:04:21 > 0:04:24about his children, but keen today to push the need for better
0:04:24 > 0:04:26English across the country.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29That's part of what they'll spend the money on here in Waltham Forest.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33If you don't understand English, you're going to not be able
0:04:33 > 0:04:36to participate in lots of things.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38So simple things like going to the doctor's,
0:04:38 > 0:04:40and if you have to go with an interpreter,
0:04:40 > 0:04:44you might be embarrassed to describe your symptoms,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46or helping your children who are growing up here and going
0:04:46 > 0:04:50to school here with their homework, or even going to parents' evening.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53We caught up with three women currently taking English
0:04:53 > 0:04:55lessons at the centre.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Now I think not very well but I think my English is good,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I can understand and I can speak a little bit.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05But not very good.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07To work at my son's school, it was impossible to
0:05:07 > 0:05:12communicate with others.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15It's still hard but I try my best.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Today won't be this week's only social integration launch, though.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20On Friday, London's mayor has one, too.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Local and national government talking about the same subject,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26but not necessarily on the same page.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28The government funding for ESOL, providing English-language
0:05:28 > 0:05:33across the country, has been more than halved since 2010,
0:05:33 > 0:05:36so it is a bit difficult to believe the Government saying,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38we really think it's an important thing for social integration,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40when the Government has not been funding that properly.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44The Mayor is expected to put money into a new family fund that
0:05:44 > 0:05:48City Hall says will help.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Facebook has banned the pages of the far-right group Britain First
0:05:51 > 0:05:53and those of its leaders.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56It said the group had ignored repeated warnings to remove hateful
0:05:57 > 0:05:59and Islamophobic content.
0:05:59 > 0:06:07Louisa Preston has more on this.
0:06:07 > 0:06:13Yes, Britain First had more than 2 million likes on its Facebook page
0:06:13 > 0:06:18and it posted content which Facebook described as inciting hatred against
0:06:18 > 0:06:23Muslims. This came after Twitter suspended the account of the group,
0:06:23 > 0:06:29and the account of the leaders. That was after they posted anti-Islamic
0:06:29 > 0:06:33videos, and US President Donald Trump then re-tweeted the videos. It
0:06:33 > 0:06:39caused headlines around the world. Also, the two leaders of Britain
0:06:39 > 0:06:47first were handed out prison sentences last week for hostilities
0:06:47 > 0:06:55to Muslims.But what about freedom of speech which Facebook champions?
0:06:55 > 0:07:01They said we are an open platform for all ideas but political views
0:07:01 > 0:07:09should be expressed without hate. Earlier, I spoke to the founder of
0:07:09 > 0:07:14Tell Mama who support victims of anti-Muslim crime.There is a
0:07:14 > 0:07:18difference between free speech and hate speech. People can question
0:07:18 > 0:07:23anything but this was about hate speech. It was maligned and targeted
0:07:23 > 0:07:26towards a section of our society. And the leaders of Britain First
0:07:26 > 0:07:31have been convicted and we have to keep that in mind.The Mayors Sadiq
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Khan said there should be tighter regulations with these big tech
0:07:35 > 0:07:40companies. He said Britain First's intentions to incite hatred within
0:07:40 > 0:07:52our society via social media are reprehensible, and Facebook's
0:07:52 > 0:07:53decision to remove their content is welcome.
0:07:53 > 0:08:00Very strong words from the Mayor of London. Thank you.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Activists who took over a building in Central London to help house
0:08:02 > 0:08:05and feed homeless people have been told by a judge they must leave.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07The group has been squatting in what they now call
0:08:08 > 0:08:09the Sofia Solidarity Centre.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11And last night alone, over 150 people used it to get help.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Alpa Patel reports.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15It was opened up during the cold snap two weeks ago.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Those who live here say it saves lives but the landlord says
0:08:18 > 0:08:21they have no right to be here and wants them gone.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24We met Mo, who has spent the last four nights here.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Otherwise, he says, he would be on the streets.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28To be behind doors, you know that nobody will come
0:08:28 > 0:08:30and attack you on the street, nobody will come and assault
0:08:30 > 0:08:33you, nobody going to come steal your stuff.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36You feel like you've got something inside safe.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Although it's almost empty up here on the first floor,
0:08:38 > 0:08:43we're told as many as 160 people stayed here last night.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46And among the sleeping bags and tents, there
0:08:47 > 0:08:49are photographs and books.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52For some people, this place really is their home.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55But local residents are worried.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59They've told us they've seen people urinating outside the building
0:08:59 > 0:09:03and are worried about drunkenness and aggressive behaviour.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06But the volunteers say there are rules in place to try
0:09:06 > 0:09:11and minimise the impact on the public.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14We have a no-alcohol policy, and where possible, it's not policed
0:09:14 > 0:09:18but the volunteers are here 24 hours a day and we try and
0:09:18 > 0:09:21keep the place clean.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24The landlord would say this is their building and you have
0:09:24 > 0:09:27no right to be here.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29This building's been empty 15 years and we have people
0:09:29 > 0:09:33dying on the streets.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35So have I got a right to be here?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38We've created not just a place for people to sleep and eat,
0:09:38 > 0:09:42but to find themselves back in their true selves and they're
0:09:42 > 0:09:46contributing to this as a whole and it really feels we have created
0:09:46 > 0:09:49the biggest family.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53But that family will now be broken up after a judge decided this
0:09:53 > 0:09:56evening the squatters must leave.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58These are anxious hours for the squatters of
0:09:58 > 0:10:05the Sofia Solidarity Centre.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08That's it for now from me, but let's find out what the weather's up to,
0:10:08 > 0:10:12with Darren.
0:10:12 > 0:10:18It was a nice day today.Yes, 14 degrees in the sunshine. We will
0:10:18 > 0:10:22probably see some sunshine tomorrow and a few showers. There is the
0:10:22 > 0:10:26prospect of some rain in the morning. The rain is yet to arrive
0:10:26 > 0:10:28and it is quite at the moment.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35By the early hours of the morning and tonight we will see the rain
0:10:35 > 0:10:42pushing in from the south-west. No frost. The rain around first thing
0:10:42 > 0:10:45for the rush hour but it doesn't last long. It moves it is way
0:10:45 > 0:10:49northwards through the morning it dries up, brightens up and we get
0:10:49 > 0:10:53some sunshine coming through. There could be so showers later in the
0:10:53 > 0:10:58afternoon. They could be on the sharp side. Not as windy as today.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Still mild on Thursday and into Friday.
