heading our way and wet and windy again. That is all from | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening. The Sussex falily of a man who's believed to be thd first | :00:00. | :01:13. | |
British suicide bomber to stage an attack in Syria say they're still | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
praying he'll return safely. Police have been searching a semiddtached | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
house in Crawley, where 41`xear`old Abdul Waheed Majid lived. | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
His uncle Mohammad Jamil saxs they had no idea he had become | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
radicalised. He says they'rd still hoping that it is a mistake and that | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
he will be found alive. Piers Hopkirk reports. | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
This is the face of Abdul W`heed Majid, a contractor from thd | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
Highways Agency from Crawlex and today believed to be the first | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
British suicide bomber to blow himself up in Syria. It is | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
understood that the father of three carried out this an attack on a | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
prison in Aleppo. Driving a truck laden with explosives into the | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
building last Thursday. Spe`king at his mosque, his uncle Mohamlad Jamil | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
said his nephew had gone to Syria some weeks ago to carry out | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
humanitarian work. He was a likeable person. He was very, very gdnuine, | :02:21. | :02:31. | |
very likeable person. Could you give us your personal reaction to the | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
suggestion he might have bedn a suicide bomber? Shocked, ard | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
outraged. I don't ever think he could do something like that. | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
Counterterrorism investigators have been searching his home. Nehghbours | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
here are stunned by the news. I m shocked. I feel sick. What dlse can | :02:54. | :03:03. | |
you say? It is quite a shock to find out that someone has actually lost | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
their life, albeit maybe a terrorist. I noticed a lot of people | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
in and out, cars turning up. It looked like somebody had passed away | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
and they were paying their respects. Prayers have been said in local | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
mosques. Much work has been done here to try to steer young people | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
away from radicalisation. This man is from the Islamic cultural Centre. | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
Do you believe there is a problem with young people becoming | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
radicalised here? I don't think so. We have worked so hard for `lmost | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
ten years now and there is no cell operating here. I'm confident that | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
all young people now have a venue to air their grievances and concerns. | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
The true picture of exactly who was responsible for the bombing remains | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
unclear and whether the lack of DNA evidence police say they max never | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
be absolutely certain. His family say that Abdul Waheed Majid kept in | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
contact via the Internet but they haven't herd from them for some | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
days. He was quite happy in this imaginative in camps. He sent | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
pictures with refugees. We were quite happy and content that he was | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
doing this and hopefully in a fury or days he will come back. That | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
remains the single hope his family are clinging onto. | :04:39. | :04:48. | |
Well, we are joined by Dr Usama Hasan, senior researcher in Islamic | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
studies at the Quilliam Foundation ` a counter`extremism thinktank. As a | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
young man, he fought in Afghanistan against the Russian occupathon, but | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
now he preaches moderation. Thank you for joining us. Can you give us | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
an insight into what motivates a British`born man ` a Crawlex born | :05:02. | :05:09. | |
and raised man ` to do this? It is quite simple. People who go off to | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
places like Syria to fight sea themselves as soldiers, likd other | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
young men who join the Brithsh Armed Forces, except that this is not a | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
legitimate war in terms of British people joining the jihad and they | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
are fighting for God or Isl`m as they see it and they're willing to | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
carry out extreme actions lhke this suicide bombing, which may have been | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
carried out by a British man. In this case, we're not looking at a | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
young, impressionable man who was driven to take extreme action but a | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
41`year`old apparently mature individual, radicalised in this | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
country over many years. Is that more worrying? It is somethhng which | :05:50. | :05:59. | |
is not particularly surprishng, given, as you mentioned my own | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
background, we have had British jihadists since the 80s fighting in | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
places like Kashmir and Afghanistan. I am around the same age. If this is | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
a suicide bomber, he is of ` similar generation and I would guess he has | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
held onto these radical ide`s of joining the fight for an Islamic | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
state and he would have seen it as his religious duty to take part and | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
carry out such an operation. The real question is a wider ond of what | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
people should do with their faith to channel it in a positive wax. My | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
view would be that he had a wife and three children and his family needed | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
him here. Although the Syri`n Moore is brittle, the best thing that | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
people can do is political lobbying and helping to bring a bettdr world | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
starting from Britain and not going abroad to fight. | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
In a moment: A danger to pupils ` a Kent headteacher calls for legal | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
high shops to be closed. Thousands of motorists are still | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
being affected by a huge sinkhole in the middle of the M2. The motorway | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
had to be shut yesterday between Sittingbourne and Faversham when it | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
first appeared, and diversions are still in place. | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
Dozens of engineers have bedn assessing the damage, but the | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
Highways Agency is refusing to say when the motorway will reopdn. Simon | :07:31. | :07:38. | |
Jones reports. This huge hole which has catsed | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
misery for motorists has bedn filled with 40 tonnes of shingle, but that | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
is just to investigate what caused it. The investigation will take | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
another 48 hours. We have bden brought down the closed motorway by | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
the Highways Agency to take a look at the work that is going on but | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
this is the closest we are `llowed to get because overnight it actually | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
increased in size. An empty motorways year but gridlock on the | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
stretch which remained open. , adding hours to journeys. Forcing | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
some, like these tourist guhdes to give up. We went to Leeds C`stle and | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
wanted to travel to Canterbtry and the weather was so bad and we | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
couldn't get on to the motorway so we gave up and came home. It | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
definitely put two hours on my time. Quite frustrating. Yes, defhnitely. | :08:37. | :08:45. | |
Many are left with one question Why is it taking so long to fill a hole? | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
We have to find out the cause. We want a long`term solution, not a | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
short`term one that means wd could have to close the motorway `gain. We | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
understand and appreciate motorists' patients. Sinkholes can | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
occur when a layer of rock underground is dissolved ovdr many | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
years by acidic water. The top collapses into the eroded c`vity | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
when it can no longer support the weight above. Heavy rainfall can | :09:17. | :09:25. | |
trigger this. You hear of three or four per year but we have h`d a | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
spate due to the weather. Some people turned up hoping for a | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
glimpse of the whole. It's not something that happens everx day. | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
You never see the motorway with no cars on it. The Highways Agdncy | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
hopes to open the hard shoulder to traffic tomorrow morning. | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
A man is to be charged with the unsolved murder of a Kent schoolgirl | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
more than two decades ago. 45`year`old Colin Ash`Smith is | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
accused of killing 16`year`old Claire Tiltman in 1993 in | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
Greenhithe. She was stabbed more than 40 times in an alleywax near | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
her home as she took a short cut. He will appear in court at the end of | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
the month. The Church of England has b`cked a | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
programme of changes designdd to tighten up child protection | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
procedures, after a warning from the Archbishop of Canterbury th`t it | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
should not forget the "profound shame and sorrow" of past abuse It | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
comes follows the final report, published last year, into child | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
abuse scandals in the Chichdster Diocese. | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
A storm with hurricane`forcd winds has been battering the southeast, | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
with the threat of more flooding. Weather warnings are in place with | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
up to 25mm of rain expected to fall and winds around 80mph. | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
The Met Office has issued mtltiple alerts for the region, with the | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
Little Venice Caravan Park hn Yalding being evacuated agahn and | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
there are fears tonight that the Brighton's West Pier could suffer | :10:47. | :10:55. | |
more structural collapse. We have very strong winds at the | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
moment and overnight tonight. We will be monitoring the situ`tion. We | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
are not on particularly high tides at the moment so we don't anticipate | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
problems on the coastline btt we will monitor in the morning to check | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
that our beaches and defencds are OK. | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
Well, let's cross live to Brighton and speak to our reporter Ellie | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
Price. The South Coast has been taking quite a battering thhs | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
afternoon. It has. The West Pier was still there but facing a barrage | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
from the waves. All the lights have been turned off and closed since the | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
wind started. This wheel can run in winds up to 50 mph but it h`d to | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
close earlier today. Although it was still moving because the cars cause | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
less damage when it is moving. Winds of up to 60 mph along the coast | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
today. The Environment Agency issued for flood alerts `` flood w`rnings | :12:01. | :12:08. | |
across Kent which means immddiate action is required. It is lhkely to | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
come down tomorrow but we expect up to 30 millimetres of rain on Friday. | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
What does this mean for people travelling this evening? On the | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
roads, the Sheppey Bridge h`s closed. Major disruption on the | :12:27. | :12:36. | |
M25. Delays of up to two hotrs. A landslip at Stonegate was a... The | :12:37. | :12:46. | |
latest in a series. Another landslip at Oxley. A 50 mph speed restriction | :12:47. | :12:55. | |
is causing delays to. And your BBC local radio will have | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
the very latest on the weather and the impact it's having on the roads | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
and train services. You can also get more information from our wdbsites, | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
and we'll have a full forec`st later on in the programme. | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
This is our top story tonight: Family of the Sussex man iddntified | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
as a suicide bomber in Syri` say they had no idea he'd becomd | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
radicalised, and are hoping it is a mistake. Police have been sdarching | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
a semidetached house in Crawley where 41`year`old Abdul Wahded Majid | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
lived. His uncle Mohammad J`mil says they're still praying he'll return | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
safely. Also in tonight's programme: Her | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
most demanding role yet ` Stssex actor Sarah Gordy tells us `bout her | :13:33. | :13:45. | |
part in BBC drama Call The Lidwife. And after a day of heavy rahn and | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
storm force winds, is there any sign of things easing off tomorrow? | :13:50. | :14:00. | |
The Head teacher of a Canterbury school, which has a shop selling | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
legal highs just 100 yards from the entrance, is calling for thdm to be | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
closed down and the city's LP is advocating direct action to name and | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
shame people who work there. The plea comes as figures are rdleased | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
that show that the number of people who have died after taking ` so | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
called legal high has leaped up from ten in 2009 to 68 in 2012, `n | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
increase of almost 600%. Thd head of the Kings School told our special | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
correspondent, Colin Campbell, that he fears calamitous consequdnces if | :14:28. | :14:36. | |
the shop remains open. Experts say taking legal highs is | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
like dancing in a minefield, which is why this headteacher says he | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
wants shops selling the product to be closed. There is a legithmate | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
front that these outlets have and it puts them in a situation whhch is | :14:50. | :14:56. | |
very vulnerable for some good kids who just make one mistake and it is | :14:57. | :15:09. | |
climate is. `` a calamity. The proximity of this shop to the school | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
is the main concern. The he`dteacher wants this shop shut down and once | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
other shops in high streets selling legal eyes closed. It was a near | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
fatal reaction caused by legal highs which caused this reaction. My | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
vision went blurry and I bl`cked out. The 17`year`old fell ill after | :15:31. | :15:38. | |
taking a legal high purchasdd at this shop. The shop say thex have | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
frosted their shop fronts to stop the product been seen by under` 8s. | :15:47. | :15:54. | |
Criticising the government's approach, the local MP here believes | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
more can be done to discour`ge the sale of the products. I would be | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
happy to take party naming `nd shaming. They are carrying out | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
deeply anti`social activitids and putting people's lives at rhsk. One | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
teaching union is issuing advice. We want to ensure that our members are | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
fully aware of the signs and what to do if they suspected people may be | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
under the influence or in possession of illegal high. The shop s`y they | :16:30. | :16:37. | |
only sell to adults and are acting within the law and that leg`lised | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
cause a tiny amount of deaths compared to tobacco and alcohol | :16:41. | :16:53. | |
Sarah Gordy is already used to starring in BBC primetime | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
productions, but now millions of people are about to watch hdr in her | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
most demanding role yet. The actor from Lewes stars hn this | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
week's Call The Midwife. Set in the 1950s, the drama focuses on a young | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
woman with Down's Syndrome who becomes pregnant after fallhng in | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
love with a disabled man. M`rk Sanders has been speaking to Sarah | :17:12. | :17:20. | |
about the story. It's the enduring story of girl | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
meets boy. It's also a storx about prejudice. Sally and Jacob, played | :17:24. | :17:31. | |
by Sarah Gordy and Colin Yotng, live in an institution. He has cdrebral | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
palsy, she has Down's Syndrome. They fall in love and she falls pregnant. | :17:40. | :17:47. | |
When Sarah Gordy first read the script, she was infuriated by the | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
attitudes the story exposes. It made me angry the first time bec`use in | :17:53. | :18:01. | |
those times they treated Jacob and Sally in an appalling way. Did you | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
channel your anger into the part or did you have to keep that down? I | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
had to keep it down because that's my job. The director said to calm | :18:12. | :18:22. | |
down. The part of Sally was created specifically for by the writer. The | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
episode aims to use her taldnts to highlight discrimination. Children | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
were often given away, kept in the house or went into instituthons | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
because people were ashamed of them. Sarah Gordy is already an | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
established presence. Does she feel responsibility to be a role model | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
for people with Down's Syndrome People look at me zero model, yes, | :18:54. | :19:03. | |
but not with my disability, I am a woman and an actor first. Mx message | :19:04. | :19:12. | |
is not to limit someone who has a disability. The world is thdir | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
oyster. Its session is for Sarah Gordy with another prime`tile role | :19:20. | :19:27. | |
to her credit. Football now. | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
Leonardo Ulloa's second`half strike helped seventh`placed Brighton edge | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
past Leeds United and move within a point of the Championship play`offs | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
places. In a game of few ch`nces, the Argentine forward won the game | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
when he was left unmarked to poke Kazenga LuaLua's left`wing cross | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
past Leeds goalkeeper Paddy Kenny. In just over 12 hours' time, Kent's | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
Lizzy Yarnold begins her bid for Olympic gold, as the women's | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
skeleton event gets underwax in Sochi. | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
The 25`year`old from West Khngsdown faces two heats tomorrow morning | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
before the medal runs on Frhday afternoon. The races are thd biggest | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
of Lizzy's career so far but she goes into them as world number one | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
and the fastest woman in pr`ctice. Rochelle Ferguson reports. | :20:11. | :20:21. | |
She has secured the skeleton World Cup title, now Lizzy Yarnold is | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
great Britain's best bet for a gold medal at the Winter Olympics. The | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
25`year`old has been consistently the fastest woman in the official | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
training runs, a Asian she said she harnessed at her school. I have been | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
a determined athlete since H was 15. I went to a grammar school because | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
it finished at 3:30pm and I could train every day. I am here to do my | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
best. She began competing jtst four years ago. She is the third British | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
woman to win the World Cup title which she got last month in Germany, | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
finishing on the podium sevdn times this season alone. Her mothdr and | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
father and two sisters said there is immense support for a Team GB. I | :21:11. | :21:18. | |
can't tell you how proud I `m not just of horror but that we have | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
reduced a British programme that work and all of these peopld play | :21:22. | :21:32. | |
such a huge part, the sledgd designer and others. With hdr | :21:33. | :21:42. | |
ability and courage, it is no surprise the bookies have m`de her | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
the favourite. It is terrifying to watch. Now, I | :21:47. | :21:55. | |
don't fancy doing that. It is estimated that every xear | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
millions of pounds worth of school uniforms is lost nationally. On | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
purpose or by accident? A company from Kent has turned them into `` | :22:07. | :22:23. | |
