More than half a century after president kennedy was assassinated in texas, the last secret files on his killing will be released. And poetry and poppies, the british legion spells out the remembrance bursts in locations across britain and northern france. Our main story is that a woman who brought her husband a weapon that he planned to use in a terror attack in birmingham has been found guilty of preparing an act of terrorism. The woman had denied assisting her husband earlier this year. Woolwich crown court heard they had developed their plans and the woman had bought a combat knife and training dummy for her husband to use. Dominic cassie arnie has the latest. A week after the westminster attack in march, this man wants to rampage in his home city. Now convicted alongside his wife, who helped him and his sister, who went covered the planning via social media. He was obsessed with knives and replica guns and wanted to fight in syria. Instead he turned his attention to home. His pregnant wife bought this combat knife on her credit card and he trained on this martial arts dummy. Finally he went to an outdoor shop to buy cod to create a hidden shoulder harness. The attack plan was not fully formed when he was arrested but he has admitted preparing an act of terrorism by researching targets in the city. It is one of seven world plots so far this year but detectives say he could not have planned it without his wife. I think its sort of typical of the kinds of terrorist threat were now seeing in the United Kingdom small groups of individuals, in this case family members, it could easily be friends, sharing very explicit extremist material, using apps downloaded from social media, inciting and encouraging each other to be able to carry out an attack, being inspired by other attacks theyve seen in the United Kingdom and abroad. Taheer told her trial shed become besotted at 17 with mirza, as she tried to escape her abusive father. She admitted shed supported the self styled Islamic State group, claiming she had been brainwashed by her future husband. But prosecutors said her own words from social media gave her away. As their wedding approached, taheer messaged her boyfriend, saying, i want you to kill people for me, i have a list. Mirza said, on the day of the marriage, i will kill them all, give me the list. Her reply. You cant have it until you put a ring on it. Radicalisation experts say her conviction is symptomatic of the new role that some women now play. In this particular case, what weve seen is a woman who seems to be in control, shes confident, shes not someone who is going to stand there, shes actively encouraging. So, i think that needs to be borne in mind in terms of a shift in gender roles thats also occurring, but the fact is, it also challenges our notion of what a womans role within these movements has to be when we look at it in a broader global context. The jury concluded Madihah Taheer was no naive young woman. She was her husbands willing partner in crime. She had wanted a hero like the painting she placed on her facebook profile, and she found him, and now they both face jail. Joining me now from our westminster studio is joana cook, an expert on women in violent extremism, at the International Centre for the study of radicalisation and Political Violence at Kings College london. What does this Case Highlights for you . It represent a trend weve seen with women involved with violent extremism for a while. Women have played diverse roles in the past. They have been anything from perpetrators, supporters, facilitators, and we have seen them play roles like this. In marriages, as well. We only have to look at the jamaica saint case to recognise that couples have played these roles before. Junaid hussain. Couples have played these roles before. Junaid hussain. There was another case in san bernardino. The marital unit has been one way for women to participate in organisations like this. I wouldnt suggest this is anything unique. Weve seen women participate either through marriage or other roles in other terrorist groups throughout history, as well. Unique, as you say, but are you able to say, based on your expert analysis of these cases, that we are seeing more cases where women are playing a more assertive role in plotting of this kind, but they are less deferential as the traditional narrative would have it, but they are taking less of a second every role . I would say a couple of things in relation to this. If we look at the deep Radicalisation Programme in the uk, it was only around 10 of women that we re it was only around 10 of women that were participants going through this. Weve seen this number go up to 30, a0 . There has been an increased trend of the number of women at risk of radicalisation. Id keepin women at risk of radicalisation. Id keep in mind that this is considering right wing organisations, as well, including islamic extremism, as well. The other thing i would say is that one thing that has been very distinct by the so called Islamic State is their role online. That opened up an entirely new area where women can participate and be more assertive, where in organisations earlier they have been restricted from these roles. When we look at how these terror organisations, are they taking a deliberate strategy to get more women involved in their activity than they would have done in the past . This has been something distinct with the Islamic State which we have seen. In their publication since 2014 theyve reached out to women. Theyve been prescriptive of the roles they have had for women encouraging them to be supported supportive of their husbands. Focusing on the domestic side, and the nonviolent roles. But weve seen indications that there is a shift in this posture. We only have to look at the recent plot that was interrupted in notre dame. There was interrupted in notre dame. There was a female cell. There have been cases in iraq and kenya where we have seen women attempt to take up more violent roles, as well. As for the prescribed roles the women have had, the so called Islamic State has tried to restrict these nonviolent roles, but i think there is an indication that this is being restricted. Around 300,000 people in the uk leave theirjobs every year because of insufficient support for Mental Health problems thats the finding of a review commissioned by the government. The government has said two of the countrys biggest employers the nhs and Civil Service will adopt the reviews recommendations. Our Health Correspondent rob sissons has more details. At this insurance company, theyre proud of their record supporting workers. Todays report recommends more places should be like this. Aviva in sheffield said it has tried to change the way people think about Mental Health, training managers and encouraging openness. James tringham was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, something the firm was aware of when they took him on. I was terrified. I had to be coaxed in and the support team that were training me at that stage werent sure if i would make it through, although they could see there was potential there. And work has a great benefit. It has a normalising effect. The government ordered review, which covers the whole of the uk, suggests what is been held up as Good Practice has yet to catch on. It concludes poor Mental Health costs businesses £42 billion a year in lost work days and low productivity. The cost to the uk economy is put even higher, at £99 billion. That takes in nhs costs of caring for people, the payment of benefits and lost taxes. Employers generally have really got to grips with the idea of how you support the physical health of your staff, whether its with adaptations or particular approaches to the health of your staff, but we havent yet seen the same level of commitment towards the Mental Health of your staff. Todays report, we are told, is a wake up call to some businesses, whatever their size, across the uk. One of co authors of the report has told me what really lies behind it is the need for a culture change in some organisations across the land to do more. That, of course, could be easier said than done. Royal mail says it is convinced money spent on Staff Wellbeing does pay off. Its really important we look after their physical and their Mental Health. Obviously, there is a cost associated with that, but it is a cost that we see as well worth spending. We rely really heavily on our people and protecting their healt, safety and wellbeing is really of the utmost importance to us. The prime minister, who commissioned the report, said it underlines the need for action. She is asking the nhs and the Civil Service to lead the way. Some of the changes, creating support online and more training, will cost easier perhaps for big firms to afford than small ones, of course. But the message of todays report is not all the changes will cost money. A major police and home Office Operation against people smugglers has been carried out overnight. 11 arrests were made in the uk and a further 15 in other parts of the european union. The raids in london, birmingham and gateshead targeted a gang which used secret compartments in vehicles to smuggle people across europe and into britain. Our Home Affairs CorrespondentDaniel Sandford reports. It was 5. 00am this morning, the moment when officers launched a series of simultaneous raids across europe targeting a suspected people smuggling gang. Immigration stand clear in west london. Birmingham. And gateshead. As well as the raids here in britain, 15 people were arrested in bulgaria and belgium. In todays raids, Immigration Enforcement are targeting a group of men suspected of smuggling people into britain using hidden compartments in vehicles. The gang specialised in concealing people in vans and even in the bases of flat bed trucks. What we have is families, weve had young children. Its quite upsetting to see the photographs of how these people are held within vehicles. Theyre specifically built hides and concealments in vehicles and they can spend a number of days in those locations before theyre recovered. As part of the uk operation, two men were arrested in birmingham, two in gateshead and seven in london. Many of those arrested were afghans, as were many of the people theyre accused of smuggling, although there were people from pakistan and vietnam too. The International Part of the operation was co ordinated be a by a task force set up by eurojust part of the european union. This operation today has been a piece of work done by a wide group of people across countries in different organisations over a period of time to get to the point to be able to have the kind of success with theseseries of arrests. Despite close to 100 prosecutions for people smuggling each year, it is still a multimillion pound criminal industry. Catalonias leader Carles Puigdemont says he will not call a snap election as the crisis over the question of independence from spain continues. The government in madrid says its ready to take direct control of the region but the catalan president said he had not obtained sufficient guarantees from Central Government over whether direct rule could be averted. The Spanish Senate is widely expected to grant that powers when it votes tomorrow. My colleague tim willcox is in barcelona. In cost and what was in the bag . And talk about the statement from the president . The is due to speak about five hours ago. It was delayed, then suspended. All of his coalition partners, including hard line separatists, coalition partners, including ha rd line separatists, thought coalition partners, including hard line separatists, thought he would call for a snap call for snap elections. That annoys them. There were several resignations from the coalition. When he finally spoke he said he had thought about calling snap elections but decided not to. In the last half an hour he arrived at the catalan parliament. We are now hearing that his coalition will say that they will go to a vote tomorrow morning, presumably before the senate in madrid vote at 10am, to actually enact the result of that referendum back on the 1st of october. Just to remind you, that was a referendum where 90 of people who took part voted to leave spain, but only on a 43 turnout. According to catalan law that needs to be voted on. But it seems now, but nobody is 100 sure, that they might go for a vote tomorrow morning and declare independence, but that could bea declare independence, but that could be a few minutes before spain. Plug on their institution and basically sacks that could be a few minutes before spain pulls the plug on their institution and basically sacks the catalonian president. What would be the outcome . As you know, this society is divided. Already today when it was thought that Carles Puigdemont wouldnt declare independence but would declare snap elections, many ha rdliners independence but would declare snap elections, many hardliners and stu d e nts elections, many hardliners and students took to the streets angry that he stepped back from the brink. When madrid imposes director role they will need to be very careful or as sensitive as they can about it. Because there are millions of people in this region who want independence. On the other hand there are millions of people here who do not. Up until the last few weeks they have considered themselves the silent majority because they say its difficult to because they say its difficult to be living in catalonia while being a catalan. The hard line supporters of ca rles catalan. The hard line supporters of Carles Puigdemont in his coalition have called for demonstrations outside every town hall in catalonia tonight in order to show support for separatism. It is a difficult situation. Its a messy situation. Its one madrid will have to be careful about and i think they will be conscious, even though they havent really apologised officially for the scenes of Police Moving in on the 1st of october, but they will be conscious that those images did not do them any favours at all in spain and around the world during that referendum on the 1st of october, which madrid, of course, considered illegal.
