Thejustice secretary, david gauke, says the governments main priority has to be the safety of the public when considering the case of Shamima Begum. The family of the pregnant teenager, who left britain to join the Islamic State group, say theyd welcome a Police Investigation into her actions, but want the government to help bring her home. Sophie long reports. This is the al hawl camp in Northern Syria where the 19 year old from east london is living as she awaits the birth of her third child. Shamima begum says both her son and daughter died, and she wants to come back to britain so her unborn baby does not the same fate. Herfamily, who had feared they would never see her again, have asked the government to help them get her home. But the justice secretary says there are risks to allowing people like Shamima Begum to return to britain, and they would look at her case very closely. What has to be the priority of the British Government is ensuring the protection of the british people as a whole. We do have a number of powers in this area. We have to act within those powers. But we need to make sure that the british people are not unnecessarily at risk. In a statement, Shamima Begums family says. As a british citizen Shamima Begums case is not unique. Some 850 people left the uk to join so called Islamic State. Around half have already come back. Some working against extremism say there needs to be more focus on what caused her to go, to prevent others from doing the same. I realise that she is a bit of a poster girl of that phenomenon of those young girls going off tojoin daesh. But if we take stock of what is happening, we need to see how she got there and we can stop other people from going down that route. The home secretary has said he would prevent people in terrorist organisations returning to britain. It is unclear what that will mean for Shamima Begum, who was just 15 when she left the uk for syria. Sophie long, bbc news. Nicola benyahiah is a psychotherapist, who runs a counselling service for families affected by radicalisation. She set it up in 2015, after her teenage son, rasheed, left the country and travelled to syria tojoin is. He was killed six months later. Earlier, she told my colleague, sean ley what factors the government should consider about shameemas case. I think the whole thing is a case by case situation with any individual that has made the choice to go over and join daesh. I think a thorough assessment of the individual is required. And to process any investigation and possibly prosecution. A lot of people will have read the interview she gave to the times and heard the remarks that she made and think, she is not showing any signs of remorse, it is too big a risk to have her back. What do you say . It is incredibly difficult to make that snapped the words she says. That is why i say a thorough assessment would be required. We are not sure whether she does have remorse from the words she is saying. She could actually be suffering from the effects of ptsd or trauma. You have to remember, when somebody is out there, they suffer from paranoia. They fear people around them. And i think that is what we need to bear in mind. Actually, even with my son, when he was out there, this is the kind of thing he was showing with these paranoid thoughts. People are watching them and listening to everything they are saying. She also may be filtering what he is saying because of that fact. What about the practicalities of this . If she is brought back to this country, she is interviewed, she is debriefed, what about dealing with the psychological effects of what she has experienced, if she is to have hope of resuming what most to as normal everyday life . Iwould hope, i mean, the uk is equipped to deal with these interventions. I would hope there would be a real wraparound sort of intervention for notjust Shamima Begum but herfamily. My heart goes out to her family, who have actually been experiencing this for many years. They are holding a life sentence themselves. I would hope that they were being supported as well. Are you surprised this seems to have come so unexpected to people . We have known a large number of fighters and supporters have to syria, and we knew that Islamic State was on the point of being defeated, should there have been more preparations . I think certainly. We have been talking about this for a couple of years about the complexity. It shouldnt come to a shock to any of us. Again, we have been talking about this. For the public it is security and safety that is paramount. But we also have to think about how we are going to cover if we do decide to bring these people back. My colleague sean ley talking to nicola benyahiah there. A 27 year old man has apeared in court, charged with the murder of three elderly men in exeter. Alexander lewis ra nwell was before magistrates in the city. Our reporter, naomi dymond, gave us this update. Alexander lewis ra nwell appeared here at Exeter Magistrates Court this morning, during a very short two minute hearing. During that time the charges were read to him. He faces five, three of which are charges of murder. Those are of 80 year old anthony payne, found dead the at his home in the city earlier this week, and richard and roger carter, 84 year old twins, who were also from the city. The charges relate to incidents between the tenth and the 12th of february. He was facing a further two charges of grievous bodily harm with intent, relating to a further two incidents in north devon on the 9th of february, and exeter on the 11th. During the very short hearing today he was remanded in custody and will appear at Exeter Crown Court on monday morning. Naomi dymond. The disgraced former catholic cardinal, theodore mccarrick, has been dismissed from the priesthood, over charges of sexual abuse. Mccarrick, whos a former archbishop of washington dc, resigned last year and has been living in seclusion. Hed said he could not remember an alleged case of sexual abuse of a 16 year old boy, which took place more than 50 years ago. Archbishop charles sciclu na, who has been appointed with addressing the abuse crisis, says the decision to defrock mccarrick shows that bishops are not above the law. The decision to dismiss a bishop from the clerical state is always a very grave and serious decision, which is never taken lightly. But it is also a very important signal that if we are talking about accountability for bishops, we are actually doing it. It is not talk. We are walking the talk. It is also very important signalfor archbishops that we are not above the law. We are a servants and stewards of our people. A teenager has died two days after being stabbed outside a sixth form college in birmingham. The 16 year old boy had been on life support since the incident in the highgate area on wednesday. Another 16 year old appeared in court, charged with attempted murder, before the boy died. A planned visit by the chancellor to china will now not go ahead. The news comes following reports that beijng pulled out of trade talks, after the defence secretary, Gavin Williamson, indicated that the uk may be willing to deploy a warship in the pacific. Earlier i spoke tojonathan blake, who told me cancellation of the trip was confirmed by the treasury this morning. Philip hammond is not travelling to china as it stands. They have also said no trip was announced or confirmed. That is true. There have been plans in the works for some time for Philip Hammond to make a brief visit to china and have trade talks with senior members of the government, the key time in the run up to brexit when the uk will be looking to boost its trade links the country. While a source has told me no final decision has been taken, it does seem clear from the chinese side it will not happen for now. This comes a few days after Gavin Williamson made that speech which some interpreted as being on the hostile side towards china, talking about sending Queen Elizabeth on its Maiden Voyage to the pacific and the uk having a presence in the region. Also saying that china was developing its military capability and commercial power. Any suggestion that speech has caused china to pull the plug on this visit has been played down or denied. The comments did raise eyebrows and it has probably not helped things. What does it say about uk china relations . On the one hand you have got the clear concern which Gavin Williamson has expressed about chinas growing military power, reach and influence in the world, and the need to perhaps counter that or keep a check on it. And also the importance Philip Hammond is keen to pursue with other close economic relationship with china. China is britains fifth largest trading partner. 0ur relationship is worth £60 billion a year with china. After brexit, when the uk is able to do more bilateral trade deals, the government will be looking to improve on that and build on that. But this episode demonstrate it will be a particularly sensitive relationship and at times it difficult one to handle. Jonathan blake. Nigerias president Muhammadu Buhari has appealed for calm, after the countrys president ial elections were postponed. The decision to delay the vote for a week was announced just a few hours before polling stations were due to open across the country. Electoral Officials Say the delay was down to the transportation of electoral material and was not a result of external pressure. A short time ago the chairman of the Electoral Commission addressed the media. The bbc s mayeni jones has more from yola in the north east of the country. Waking up to disappointment. Voters across nigeria are not happy. Many people had to travel long distances to cast their vote. In president Muhammadu Buharis hometown there was surprise. I would not accept the election is going to be postponed. We have seen the president in the town. We have seen many people coming from far places to cast their vote. couldnt believe it until i came out. Others have about to show up again next week. If we dont do the fraud,. A few polling stations we visited are com pletely polling stations we visited are completely empty. No ballot papers and no people. Life seems to be carrying on as normal. Nigerians are used to delay collections. The last couple of polls were also postponed. The announcement of the delay came in the early hours of saturday when most people were in bed. Following a careful review of the fermentation of the logistics and operational plan, and the determination to conduct free, fair and credible elections, the commission came to the conclusion that proceeding with the election as scheduled is no longerfeasible. Some offices of the Electoral Commission have been burnt in the past couple of weeks. Voting materials have not made it to the polling stations late on friday night. Turnout on election day is usually low in nigeria. There are concerns many of these voters will not show up next week.

Thousands of criminals in england and wales will be tagged with gps trackers, to allow authorities to constantly monitor their wherabouts. The current tags, which are worn by around 60,000 offenders, are linked to a fixed address, such as an offenders home, with alerts generated if they are not there at certain hours. Danny shaw reports. We have Gps Technology in our cars and on our smartphones. Now its being used to track the movements of offenders and suspects on bail. This is a demonstration of how the satellite tags are fitted, using an expert who has helped set up the scheme. The ankle tag sends an alert if someone goes to an area theyre banned from, or isnt attending a rehabilitation course when they should be. It gives us very detailed information as to where that person potentially has been, where they have been tracked. It gives us evidence to be able to present to the relevant criminal Justice Agency to take that appropriate action. The offender satellite tracking has been operating in three areas since last november. It will be rolled out across england and wales by the summer. Tags will monitor 4,000 people every year. It will be used in cases of Domestic Abuse and stalking to keep offenders away from victims. David blunkett was the first politician to trial satellite tracking, launching a scheme when he was home secretary 15 years ago. But progress stalled due to contractual disputes and technical problems. The government will be hoping it has more success this time. Danny shaw, bbc news.

Lady falkender, who was political secretary to the former prime minister, Harold Wilson, has died at the age of 86. Formerly known as marcia williams, she was a controversial and powerfulfigure. She was the former labour prime ministers right hand woman during his two periods in office during the 1960s and 70s. The former labour mp, austin mitchell, who once interviewed lady falkender, said she was key to Harold Wilson becoming prime minister. She was certainly dedicated to Harold Wilson and people like bernard donoghue, his speech writer, who i came into contact with her during the course of work. Who i came into contact with her during the course of worklj who i came into contact with her during the course of work. I found her too tough. It was almost as if she had a married relationship with wilson. They had been together and worked together for so long, it was a fairly intense relationship. She kept his feet on the ground. I think ina kept his feet on the ground. I think in a sense power went to her head when she was his political secretary because she made contact with a lot of people, some of them show business people, who she wouldnt have normally come across. Military Charities Say theyre not able to cope with the rising demand for Mental Health support for veterans. At least 58 former servicemen and women took their own lives last year, according to estimates by campaigners. The ministry of defence spends £22 million a year on Mental Health support, but Charities Say the whole system needs a rethink, as our defence correspondent, Jonathan Beale reports. Gary still has nightmares about his time in afghanistan. He did two tours of helmand and saw friends killed in combat. He has been left with a visible scars. But his wound was not caused by bombs or bullets. He lost his leg after he fell on it. He lost his leg after he fell on it. He had blacked out after self medicating with drugs and alcohol. There was loads of help for me but they dont come knocking on your door. I am worse now than i have ever been. I am suicidal at the minute. Gary is being helped by two other veterans who have said up a helpline for a comrade in crisis. This is a message i got yesterday from a lady. She is worried her grandson is about to take his own life. David coulter. Igot grandson is about to take his own life. David coulter. I got her on the phone. I got him to come down from his crisis point. He needs to know there are people out there who can help him. For too many, help as come to lead. I never thought he was suicidal. Ijust come to lead. I never thought he was suicidal. I just thought come to lead. I never thought he was suicidal. Ijust thought he couldnt sleep. They can see that somebody has lost their limbs or whatever. But with mental illness, it isjust invisible. The ministry of defence is stepping up research, support and funding for veterans Mental Health. But it is notjust about money. It is the system that needs fixing. A few other stories in the news this hour the government is considering forcing mobile phone companies to open their networks to competitors to improve reception in rural areas. Ministers want 95 per cent of the uk to have a mobile signal by 2022. A fifth of the uk lacks an adequate signal for basic mobile services. If one of britains Busiest Railway lines will be closed for nine days from today, causing major disruption to passengers. Network rail is carrying out major Engineering Work between Three Bridges and brighton, a stretch which it says is the cause of many delays. Child car seats which are illegal to use in the uk are Still Available to buy online, according to a consumer watchdog. Which . Says it found the seats, which are made of fabric, offer almost no protection in a crash and sell for as little as £8. Deep beneath the valleys of south wales the rhondda railway tunnel took coal to swanseas ports for more than 70 years. It closed in 1968, but now campaigners are hoping to turn it into one of the worlds longest underground cycle routes. Tomos morgan has been to take a look inside. Hidden away under the mist and green hills is a highway. An old rail track that once connected the coal towns of the valleys and the ports of south wales. And after 60 years of laying dormant, the rhondda tunnel could get a new lease of life as a cycle path. But at the moment, this is the only way down. It is a 60 foot abseil down into the heart of the tunnel. Hello . Hello. Nice to meet you. Steve mackey has grown up with this lying on his doorstep. I started coming in here when i was ten and i would sit there marvelling at the work and the workmanship and the craftsmanship of the tunnel. Opened in 1890, for almost 80 years, trains ferried coal and also passengers through the hills to the port of swansea. After a temporary closure in the late 60s on safety grounds, it never reopened. Its rebirth as a cycling footpath has become the rhondda tunnel societys full time goal. I dont care how long it takes to open the tunnel, it needs to be opened because it is a magnificent structure. Atjust over two miles long, this would be the longest cycling tunnel in europe and the second longest in the world. If it were to reopen. But the project is still in its infancy. Although a recent survey concluded that most of the structure was in a good condition, the cost to rejuvenate the site could be as much as £10 million. Yet one of the Engineering Consultants has already tested out the proposed new cycle track. The unique experience was not being able to see your goal, because both ends are blocked up. Theres no light, as you could say, at the end of the tunnel. Gas monitor reading. The next stage is transferring ownership from highways england, who originally ran the railway, to local authorities here in wales. After that it will be full steam ahead to get the funds in place so that this old rail track can be what the heart of this community wants. Tomos morgan, bbc news.
