One of those was Ijaz Khan, who planned to join them

by travelling from his Bradford home to Syria.

He'd recorded this video to say goodbye.

In February 2015, Khan began what he thought

Instead, he was stopped by counterterrorism police officers

His wife, Afsheen Khan, was arrested later that year,

when police discovered she'd assisted him.

Both pleaded guilty to preparing acts of terrorism.

In court today, Ijaz Khan was sentenced to five years in prison.

Afsheen Khan was jailed for 35 months.

Detective Chief Superintendent Clive Wain said, British citizens

involved in terrorism in Syria and other conflict zones

have the potential to pose a significant threat to the UK

Others believed to have made the journey without being stopped

include the Dawood family and the Ameen family,

both from Bradford, who took young children with them.

Leeds Beckett University is undertaking the biggest study

ever conducted into the long-term health effects of playing rugby.

Today, former Leeds and Bradford star Jamie Peacock was the first

Jamie Peacock played the game with total commitment.

Towards the back end of his career, just at a basic level, the days

The mixture of being hungover, having been thrown down ten sets

of steps, that is what it felt like for 3-4 days after.

Towards the end to my career, I probably wouldn't come around

until a couple days before the next game, get ready to go again.

Today, he underwent a whole raft of tests to see what effects

a 20-year playing career has had on him.

We're looking at the whole body health.

We're looking at the heart, bones and muscles.

We're looking at brain function, balance and stability.

We're also looking at wellbeing, how they're getting on in later life,

their feelings and habits and relationships as well.

Do you want to know what it's done to your body,

No, I'm not worried, because I think forewarned

is forearmed, and I'd rather know if something's not right.

The earlier you know, the more chance you've got to fix it.

I think it's important within the study to find out

what is the long-term impact of the game.

While today's tests focused on his body,

Jamie will undergo a brain scan at a later date.

Concussion and its long-term effects are a growing issue

There's a lot of work looking at the players on the pitch now

and completing concussion assemsments and things.

What we want to do is see generally how is the brain

So we do have the evidence, we're collecting self reports -

how many times have you been unconscious, how many

The study is the largest of its kind, as well as testing

former players from all levels, it'll test people who play

noncontact sport and those who don't do sport at all.

It's also independent, so while they'll discuss

the findings with the two codes of rugby, they won't been

We are providing the governing bodies with reports

They're all aware of the research that is going on.

Albeit, we are independent of the governing bodies,

but we will be communicating with them, because that is

the way to get the best for the sport as a whole.

Because we are fans of rugby, and we want the best

I think they need to understand that rugby league is just such a tough,

collision sport, I think, as an inevitable consequence,

you will suffer injuries that will affect you maybe long-term,

and I think the more we know about that,

the more we can do about it, and perhaps try and minimise

Jamie Peacock is the first to undergo the tests.

Around 200 players have already signed up.

They aim to publish the findings next Easter.

Super League, and Leeds Rhinos were at home to fellow Yorkshire

It was a comfortable win for the Rhinos, who ran in six tries

Football, and Huddersfield Town were away to Bristol City tonight.

An early head injury to Jonathan Hogg saw him stretchered

off as the game was delayed for 14 minutes.

Huddersfield stay third in the table.

Not a good result for Sheffield Wednesday either.

They lost 2-0 at home to promotion rivals Reading,

You know a look at what the weather has in store, how is the weekend

looking? Saturday the better it day of the

two, some rain and potentially heavy rain. The detail yet to be firmed

up. Tomorrow a lot of cloud about, breezy conditions as well. But for

most places it should stay dry. This chart tells the story, the wind will

be breezy tomorrow, and strong winds returning through Sunday. A band of

rain pushing up from the west, that will make its way further east

through Sunday afternoon. It is very windy at the moment, easing down.

The rain will ease as well, all along the Pennine chain, with breaks

around 8 degrees. Any decent breaks, around 8 degrees. Any decent breaks,

there will be temperatures number than that. Breezy clouds tomorrow, a

few spots of rain through the afternoon, but generally quite a

try. it is rather breezy. Now for the

national outlook. It was quite a wet day across many

northern and western parts of the UK. This was the view in Lancashire

not so long ago. For the weekend we are looking to see further rain, all

coming from the west, so the further east you are, it should be drier. It

will be quite a windy weekend for all parts. The radar from earlier

today showing quite a bit of rain across the North and west. The only

rain across the East has been light and patchy, but heavy bursts further

west. The satellite sequence shows cloud over the UK at the moment.

Plenty more cloud over the Atlantic, and it's heading our way, most of it

rain bearing. Tomorrow night, still wet for most areas. Snow over the

hills of Scotland, not much rain in the east, but still some. With the

crowd and breeze, temperatures kept up at eight or nine foremost, but

northern Scotland will be cold enough for icy patches in the far

north. The morning looks pretty wet much
