:05:10. > :05:12.Last summer Josh Walker joined them to work as a translator,

:05:43. > :05:45.I mean, I didn't know what exactly to do.
:05:46. > :05:48.Serving alongside Josh was British volunteer Ryan Lock.
:05:49. > :05:51.He was killed when reportedly turning a gun on himself to avoid
:05:52. > :06:01.He was a good laugh, he was, you know
:06:02. > :06:06.He was pretty brave and he was popular
:06:07. > :06:13.Like Ryan, many other foreign volunteers with the YPG carried
:06:14. > :06:16.either a spare bullet or a grenade to use in the event
:06:17. > :06:34.Luckily I never had to use one, but you know...
:06:35. > :06:38.Like I said, there's no way I'm letting my mum see images of
:06:39. > :06:46.me being decapitated broadcast around the world.
:06:47. > :06:49.You mention drawing a line in the sand and you want to do
:06:50. > :06:54.something about it, why not join the army?
:06:55. > :06:58.First I wouldn't be able to go and help the people in Rojava.
:06:59. > :07:01.I wouldn't be able to choose where I went at all.
:07:02. > :07:03.I'd have to fight based on the whims of the
:07:04. > :07:08.politicians of the day and it's a very big,
:07:09. > :07:15.The YPG are not on the British Government's list
:07:16. > :07:21.But, at the end of his long journey back to the UK, Josh was arrested
:07:22. > :07:23.at Gatwick Airport under the Terrorism Act and is
:07:24. > :07:31.Well Joel Bennathan is a lawyer who works in this area of the law.
:07:32. > :07:35.I asked him what the legal situation would be with someone who decided
:07:36. > :07:42.Anyone who goes to a war zone with the view to joining in one way
:07:43. > :07:44.or another is at real risk of being prosecuted.
:07:45. > :07:50.The second is, will they be prosecuted?
:07:51. > :07:53.The answer to can they be prosecuted is almost always yes because English
:07:54. > :07:55.law has an incredibly wide definition of what
:07:56. > :08:04.Anyone who picks up a firearm or trained to pick up a firearm
:08:05. > :08:07.Anyone who picks up a firearm or trains to pick up a firearm

:08:10. > :08:12.There is no freedom fighter's defence, there is no morality
:08:13. > :08:15.defence, so it's entirely possible to have a group of armed men
:08:16. > :08:18.and women in conflict who endure wide support in the West
:08:19. > :08:20.and in England, yet they will be committing offences under
:08:21. > :08:25.The second question is, will they be prosecuted is probably
:08:26. > :08:27.far more interesting with groups like the Free Syrian Army
:08:28. > :08:32.Because people doing these things abroad can only be prosecuted
:08:33. > :08:35.with the consent of the Attorney General.
:08:36. > :08:37.And it would be very surprising, for example, in the case
:08:38. > :08:41.of the Free Syrian Army, there's a unit trained and armed
:08:42. > :08:44.by the Americans and it would be very surprising indeed
:08:45. > :08:47.if our Attorney General agreed that people should be prosecuted
:08:48. > :08:50.who were fighting under air cover having been trained
:08:51. > :08:55.So in the future, are there likely to be more cases like this?
:08:56. > :08:58.There's lots of cases already come through the system of people
:08:59. > :09:00.going to fight for groups such as Isis and allied
:09:01. > :09:06.There have been very few cases in the system at all of people
:09:07. > :09:09.fighting for what we might call the other side.
:09:10. > :09:11.People fighting for Kurdish groups or people fighting for example
:09:12. > :09:17.There have been one or two cases about people going off
:09:18. > :09:19.for different Kurdish groups, engaged in different parts
:09:20. > :09:22.of that part of the world, but so far I'm fairly confident
:09:23. > :09:24.there will be no prosecutions of people fighting against Isis
:09:25. > :09:30.with the Iraqis, with the Kurds with the Free Syrian Army.
:09:31. > :09:41.Despite the gloomy start there were signs of good weather to come.
:09:42. > :09:54.I'll leave you now with Ian, who has the forecast.
:09:55. > :10:01.It has cheered up during the course of the afternoon. It didn't earlier
:10:02. > :10:06.on as these pictures attest. Tomorrow is a bit of a mixture of
:10:07. > :10:12.the two. Sunny spells for some of you, but equally some showers as
:10:13. > :10:16.well. Underpinning all of that it will be noticeably chilly. It is
:10:17. > :10:20.turning chilly through the course of the night. Temperatures will get
:10:21. > :10:24.down to about three Celsius. At the moment a few showers around. They
:10:25. > :10:33.are moving eastwards and there could be more the book -- before the night
:10:34. > :10:36.is through. Quite quickly showers will start to pack into western
:10:37. > :10:42.areas. Few of those getting across to the East but particularly in the
:10:43. > :10:46.afternoon. Some of those showers could have a wintry flavour
:10:47. > :10:52.particularly over Exmoor. At lower levels, some hail could be possible.
:10:53. > :10:56.To the west, and more coherent area of rain forming and that will get
:10:57. > :10:58.its act together overnight and into Wednesday. Temperatures seven to
:10:59. > :11:04.eight Celsius for most. outlook for Saturday and Sunday is
:11:05. > :11:12.for something dry and settled, sunny spells but a bit on the cool side.
:11:13. > :11:20.This week we are starting off with a taste of winter. This is Paul and
:11:21. > :11:25.maritime air, it has come from a long way north and will push in lots
:11:26. > :11:28.of showers. The last of any mild air gets swept away with the cloud.
:11:29. > :11:36.Tonight we have showers mostly across the northern half of the UK,
:11:37. > :11:40.which will turn wintry and that means more snow, particularly across
:11:41. > :11:48.Scotland and Northern Ireland, perhaps northern England. With those
:11:49. > :11:49.temperatures it is not just snow that is a concern, it is icy
