He changed his mind ten minutes before the planned strikes. Eran. A government ministers response to a Climate Change protester at a city dinner, otherfields now suspended from hisjob. And we hearfrom one of the last surviving passengers to sail here on the empire windrush, 70 yea rs sail here on the empire windrush, 70 years ago. And at half past 11 we will take an in depth look at the papers with our reviewers, the associate editor of the times, and the head of politics at the daily mirror, so stay with us for that. Good evening. The parents of the oxford teenagerjack letts who travelled to syria in 2014 to join the Islamic State group have been spared jail after being found guilty of funding terrorism. John letts and sally lane sent money to their son who became known as jihadi jack, despite concerns he had joined is and despite warnings from police that they would face prosecution. His parents said they believe that sun life was in imminent danger and they were just trying to help him. Jack letts with his parents, sally lane and john letts, a picture perfect childhood. But this afternoon the pair were found guilty for sending money to their son in the middle east, knowing or having reasonable suspicion that it could be used for terrorism. The heavy price we have paid today is an indicator of the love we have for our children. We are committed to help jack return home. We will continue our campaign to help those that the government has turned its back on. Thank you. Jack letts got interested in islam as a schoolboy and attended this mosque in oxford at 16. Two years later his mum, a fundraiser for oxfam, and his dad, an organic farmer, said he told them he was travelling to the middle east to study arabic. Within months he was inside Islamic State group held territory in syria. The jury at the old bailey was told this one fingered salute was associated with is. Sally lane had told the court that she was horrified when in september 2014 her son jack had telephoned her to tell her where he was. She said shed screamed at him, how could he be so stupid . Nearly a year after being in syria, jack letts had begun asking for money first to help out a poor friend with a large family, then he said it was to get out of syria. Like ive run out of money completely. Didnt you say if it was to get out, youd send . The pair had argued in court that they just wanted to get their son out of syria safely. In a Police Interview john letts tried to explain. Ive got to get him out somehow and how am i going to do that . Hes in danger and ifeel i have to do something, but on the other hand i dont want to get put away, i dont want sally to get put away. Ive got another son to worry about, so what am i supposed to do . Despite warnings from police, ms lane was captured on cctv at her local Western Union in oxford sending £223. Speaking to the bbc back in 2017, they said they believed him when he said he wasnt involved with any banned group. Weve always been in contact with him from the beginning. I think thats unusual for anybody who was some sort of a fighter they tend to drop all connection with their parents. Hes always been in touch with us and hes always from the beginning denied that he is ever a member of isis or involved with isis, or a fighter or anything like that, and i believe that. There is a law, and its not for individuals to decide when it applies to them or when it doesnt. The really strong message is despite whatever you might think you are doing, ultimately youre breaking the law and thats not ok. In court, judge Nicholas Hilliard said he understood they were parents who loved their son very much, but the warning signs were there. He sentenced them each to 15 months in jail suspended for a year, and ordered them to pay £140 in fines. Jack letts was 18 when he dropped out of school and left for syria five years ago. He married and had a child with an iraqi woman before being captured and imprisoned in syria by Kurdish Forces in 2017. Our middle east correspondent went somerville met him last year, we had to wait until his parents try was over before we could broadcast this interview. One of the Islamic State groups most notorious recruits was former oxford schoolboy jack letts. He agreed to speak to us in october last year. Only now that his parents trial is over can the interview be broadcast. He said he wasnt speaking under duress and he wanted to come clean about his membership of is. I asked him if he had betrayed his country. What were you . Were you a traitor or were you are a collaborator . Thats the question im asking you. A traitor to britain . You mean a traitor to britain . Its the first time ive heard that term in a long time. I was definitely an enemy of britain. I have no doubt about this. I havent tried to make myself innocent. I did what i did, i made a big mistake and thats what happened. I regretted what i did and thought, supposedly the british idea is that even if you do make big mistakes, you can sort of go back. Not go back to britain, i mean go back from your mistakes. You can set things right. Did they ever ask you to put on a suicide vest . They dont ask you, but they encourage you. In a sort of indirect way. I used to want to at one point, believe it or not. I now think its actually haram. Thats the first time i say this. I might as well tell the truth. I did at one point want to. Not a vest, i wanted to do it in a car. So i said, if theres a chance, ill do it. I didnt request to do it, but at the same time it was obvious that, i made it obvious to him that if there was a battle im ready. This is one of the places where jack letts lived in syria. He loved raqqa to begin with. He says he fought on the front lines. In iraq, he was badly injured. Later he got married and had a child. He says, though, he eventually grew disillusioned and attempted to leave is. But why did he abandon britain in the first place . I had a comfortable home, i had a very Good Relationship with my mum, especially. My dad as well, actually. I thought i was leaving something behind and go into something better. I thought i was never going to see them again. In britain they call youjihadijack. While youve been away, there have been attacks in manchester, the London Bridge attacks, there have been attacks in paris. Theres very little appetite to give you a Second Chance because of what youve done. To be honest, im not asking any. Its not like im appealing to the British Public to give me a Second Chance. Its not something anyone would do. If i was a member of the British Public, i wouldnt give me a Second Chance, probably. Maybe in this specific situation but i dont expect that from anyone. So what do you expect, jack . Thats the problem, i dont know whats going to happen. Ive been here two years, every few days i hear any promise. It never gets kept. As for, and its probably not that important, but in manchester, what happened in london on the bridge, etc, i was in prison at the time. This was a long, long time after i left isis. Yeah, but, jack, thats the point. Your recruitment as a westerner, as a white middle class boy from oxford, signed up and joined the so called Islamic State, that you were a rallying cry. You gave their insanity more credence for other people to go and join them. Thats one of the things i regret. I realised that me coming was a lot more. Had more meaning than a syrian coming to isis. The fact that i came from england, i understand that it made a big difference. Thats one of the things i regret as well. They used us as well. They used us as a sort of, what do we call it in english. Like a poster boy. His kurdishjailers say he cant stay in syria. Jack letts also has canadian citizenship, although hes never lived there. The British Government says it washed its hands of him the day he joined the Islamic State group. President trump has confirmed that he called off a military strike against eran last night with minutes to spare, after deciding that too many human lives would be lost iran. The attack had been planned in response to the shooting down of an unmanned us drone by iran earlier this week. Mr trump tweeted that the us had been cocked and loaded but he is now facing criticism from democrats for revealing details of the plan. In iran they are celebrating taking out of the sky a 130 million us drone the latest escalation in tensions between washington and tehran. Today, on iranian tv, the results of their handiwork were being shown off. America has no shortage of military assets in the region but the anticipated retaliation never came. It turns out military strikes had been ordered. But at the last moment donald trump had a change of mind. He confirmed this on twitter this morning. But now a rather different account from the president. The planes werent even in the air, so weapons couldnt have been locked and loaded. Were planes in the air . We were about ready to go. No, but they would have been pretty soon, and things would have happened to a point where you wouldnt turn back or couldnt turn back. That wasnt quite the impression he gave yesterday at the white house, when watched by his hawkish National Security adviser and secretary of state he seemed to suggest that action was imminent. One of irans Deputy Foreign ministers told the bbc they were only acting in self defence. When you violate iranian territorial space, then we defend. This is defence. And to back up their argument, irans foreign minister produced a sketch to claim the drone was flying over iranian territorial waters. The us put out a more formal looking map to claim it was in international airspace. Regardless, the federal Aviation Authority has issued orders preventing American Airlines from flying over the persian gulf and the gulf of oman as a result of this incident. British airways is doing the same. At friday prayers today in tehran there were renewed chance of death to america and fiery language from the countrys spiritual leaders that the strait of hormuz will become a graveyard for trespassers. Last night donald trump pulled back, but this is still a tense and dangerous situation in a highly volatile region. Police were reportedly called by a neighbour to the london home of the conservative leadership candidate borisjohnson conservative leadership candidate Boris Johnson and his conservative leadership candidate borisjohnson and his partner earlier this morning. After a neighbour reportedly heard screaming and shouting. Another neighbour heard the altercation, she could not identify either of the voices or what was said, but described to the bbc what she heard. She wanted to be known as fatima. I was watching tv andi known as fatima. I was watching tv and i sounded had what sound like and i sounded had what sound like a female voices shouting and screaming, andi a female voices shouting and screaming, and i had things smashing, it sounded like plates or glasses or whatever smashing, so i had to mute the tv and i heard a lady shouting, but i wasnt sure what she was saying, but she sounded really angry, and i could hear a male voice as well, but i couldnt hear what the conversation was about. I think this was going on for about. I think this was going on for about 5 10 minutes, and then after that i saw a police van, but a police car, and i think about ten minutes later they left, so that was it, and it quietened down after that. That is all i heard really, but i was quite concerned because we usually a quiet neighbourhood, so there is nothing about, so yeah, it was quite concerning, i wasnt sure what was going on. He sounded like he wanted her to be quiet, but she was very, very angry, i had quite a few ellipses i have never had anything like that at all. I wasnt sure where it was coming from to be honest with you. Didnt sound like it needed the police to be called, it needed the police to be called, it that concerning . Yeah. I did sound like that, because i was not sure what the situation was with the woman, so sure what the situation was with the woman, so yeah, she was very, very angry. That was the voice of the neighbour speaking a little earlier. Damien westminster is our political correspondence jessica damien westminster is our political correspondencejessica parker. What more is known about this . This story broke this evening, guardian reports that police were called to the home of borisjohnson and his partner carrie symons, at 20 past midnight. The guardian has spoken to a neighbour and this neighbour, the guardian reports, made a recording of some of what they heard that conveyed what they heard to the guardian. The guardian are saying that mrjohnsons girlfriend can be heard saying get off me and get out of my flat, allegedly heard saying that mr johnson had ruined a sofa with his red wine and said you dont care for anything because you are spoiled, you have no care for money or anything. Important to emphasise the bbc is not heard this particular recording that the guardian is reporting this evening. Weve contacted borisjohnsons team for comment. They are not commenting. We have had a statement from the metropolitan police. They are saying they were called just after 20 past on friday the 21st ofjune, responding to a call from a local resident in the se five area of london and the caller was concerned for the welfare of a female neighbour. Police attended and spoke to occu pa nts neighbour. Police attended and spoke to occupants of the address, who we re to occupants of the address, who were all safe and well. There was no offence and no cause for police action. The newspapers are all over this in the morning. It doesnt help the start of his campaign with just the start of his campaign with just the two of them left. Interesting time for this story to emerge because Boris Johnson time for this story to emerge because borisjohnson hasjust developed to make it into the final two of the contest. Whoever wins will walk through the doors of number ten become the united kingdoms Prime Minister so hes been pretty successful so far stop tonight we are at the eve of the start of hustings across the country so start of hustings across the country so the conservative party is organised around 16 of those to take pa rt across organised around 16 of those to take part across the country. Bothjeremy huntand part across the country. Bothjeremy hunt and Boris Johnson part across the country. Bothjeremy hunt and borisjohnson will be attending those, taking questions from conservative Party Members so thats set to go on for the best pa rt thats set to go on for the best part of the month. Im sure for borisjohnson as he goes into secular part of the contest, because conservative members get the final say, these are probably not the kind of headlines he would want is that bit contest gets under way stop jessica parker, thank you. This is bbc news, the headlines at 11 oclock the parents of a teenagerfrom oxford who travelled to syria to join the Islamic State group are found guilty of funding terrorism. President trumps as the us military was cocked and loaded to retaliate against iran last night but he changed his mind ten minutes before planned strikes. The Foreign Office minister mark field has been suspended from the government after grabbing a Climate Change protester and marching her out over dinner in the city of london. Mr field said he acted instinctively when the woman approached the stage during speech by the chancellor, philip hammond. The minister has apologised. The woman he confronted said he needs anger management classes. In red dresses, suffragette style sashes and dinnerjackets, the Climate Emergency protesters had little difficulty getting past security and into a room full of senior politicians and bankers. There, they staged a noisy protest as the chancellor, phillip hammond, tried to make his speech. Some diners intervened and there was pushing and shoving. Among the protesters, janet barker, a long term greenpeace activist. She starts to make her way to the top table and the chancellor and the governor of the bank of england, at which point Foreign Office minister mark field intervenes and angrily manhandles her out of the room, holding her by the back of the neck. Two months ago, he had called on police to take a firmer grip on climate protesters. Today, janet barker told the bbc she didnt want to go to the police, but she had concerns about the minister. I would quite like him to go on anger management perhaps, and i hope he doesnt do it again, because there was some serious anger there. But for me, the concern is the environment. It is what ive lived for. Ive done it for 22 years and i will continue to do it. Mark field has apologised, saying it was an instinctive reaction, but the Prime Minister was very concerned and suspended him as a minister. He recognises that what happened was an overreaction, but what we need now, in his interests but also in the interests of the lady involved, is a proper independent inquiry by the cabinet office. Greenpeace said mark fields actions were an assault, but what exactly is the law . The first question is did he honestly believe that it was necessary for him to use force . And then the second question would be, was the force that he used reasonable in the circumstances as he believed them to be . Emergency this is an emergency youve made your point. The city of london, which organised the dinner, said it was reviewing security, but it was the ministers actions that caused the greatest shock. Daniel sandford, bbc news. A by election is to be held in brecon and radnorshire, after more than 10,000 constituents signed a petition to recall their mp. The conservative chris davies was convicted of submitting faking two expenses claims. More than 10 of the electorate had to a recall petition to trigger the by election. One of the countrys leading stage actors, sir mark rylance, has quit the Royal Shakespeare company over its sponsorship deal with bp.

The rsc says that corporate sponsorship is an important part of its funding. Thousands of people in hong kong have surrounded the police headquarters, calling for an extradition bill to be scrapped. Millions of people have taken to the streets in recent weeks to protest against the bill. The proposed law would allow extradition to mainland china. Its been suspended, but not shelved. Police urged protesters who remained late into the night to withdraw peacefully, saying their presence youre kidding, right . Would seriously affect emergency services. They have lost a son, father and the husband. The family came to leeds to tell enquiry about is suffering. He had to give up a seniorjob in the food industry. They succumb to liver cancer and died aged 47. His daughter said their lives were turned upside down. When you live with death on your doorstep co nsta ntly with death on your doorstep constantly throughout your childhood and teenage years, it leaves a mark. I have quite bad anxiety now. They we re very i have quite bad anxiety now. They were very stressed quite easily. Jeremy hunt is the local mp and were invited to a meeting in whitehall in 2014 when he was health secretary. Officials and other minister were her. Mike suggested what he viewed was a financial compensation package. My respect forjeremy hunt, we are on first name terms and we thought he was going to sort this and he hasnt fulfilled his promise. A spokesperson forjeremy hunter said he stopped an enquiry because those who needed Financial Support had it increased but those with loved ones are pushing for full compensation, reflecting a loss of earnings. Another witness said officials and politicians had lied on their hands. Expect blood.
