:00:24. > :00:30.Good afternoon. Winnie Johnson, the mother of one of the victims of the

:00:30. > :00:35.Moors murderer, Ian Brady, has died. Her son, Keith Bennett, was 12 when

:00:35. > :00:40.he was abducted in Manchester in 1964. She fought tirelessly to get

:00:40. > :00:44.Ian Brady to reveal the location of her son's brave -- her son's grave.

:00:44. > :00:49.She was 78 and had cancer. It is nearly 50 years since Keith

:00:49. > :00:54.Bennett was murdered and ever since then, his mother has made it her

:00:54. > :00:59.life's work to find his body up on Saddleworth moor. Ian Brady and his

:00:59. > :01:04.accomplice, Myra Hindley, murdered five children in the 1960s but the

:01:04. > :01:07.bodies of just four have been found. Keith Bennett's is the only one

:01:07. > :01:11.still missing. Winnie Johnson has always said she wanted to find her

:01:11. > :01:18.son before he'd it -- before she died but recently, she has suffered

:01:18. > :01:22.from cancer. He got away with the other ones, they found the others.

:01:22. > :01:26.But they have not found him, and I want him found. I want him found

:01:26. > :01:31.before anything happens. This morning it was confirmed that

:01:31. > :01:41.Winnie Johnson had died peacefully overnight. Her son, Alan Bennett,

:01:41. > :01:47.

:01:47. > :01:52.I am delighted to hear that to her family are going to carry on with

:01:52. > :01:55.the quest. Particularly in her memory, and let's hope now, and I

:01:55. > :02:00.am optimistic that information will come into the hands of the police,

:02:00. > :02:04.which may lead to the discovery of the body. Yesterday, it was

:02:04. > :02:08.reported that Ian Brady had written a letter to Winnie Johnson,

:02:08. > :02:11.revealing the location of Keith's body. Police are looking for the

:02:11. > :02:20.letter but even if it exists, it will have come too late to give

:02:20. > :02:23.Winnie Johnson her wish. An influential group of MPs says

:02:23. > :02:28.the former Chief Executive of Barclays Bank, Bob Diamond, gave

:02:28. > :02:33.highly selective evidence to their inquiry into the light or scandal.

:02:33. > :02:36.The Treasury Select Committee blames the boss of Barclays for the

:02:36. > :02:40.way their staff tried to manipulate the rate at which they lend to each

:02:40. > :02:46.other. Bob Diamond says he disagrees with the claims that he

:02:47. > :02:51.gave selective evidence. This is wrong and I am not happy about it.

:02:51. > :02:55.Former Barclays boss, Bob Diamond, giving evidence last month. He was

:02:55. > :02:59.called before the Treasury Select Committee to explain his bank's

:02:59. > :03:05.role in the global rate rigging scandal but today's report calls

:03:05. > :03:10.that evidence into question. It says that his submissions were at

:03:10. > :03:15.times highly selective. It was such hard work getting evidence out of

:03:15. > :03:20.Mr Diamond, quite frankly. The committee has made clear their

:03:20. > :03:23.committee has made clear their discontent about it. It goes on to

:03:23. > :03:27.criticise the Bank itself, saying the board presided over a deeply

:03:27. > :03:31.flawed culture, with management flawed culture, with management

:03:32. > :03:36.turning a blind eye. But why didn't regulators act sooner? The report

:03:36. > :03:38.suggests the manipulation was spotted neither by the financial

:03:38. > :03:44.services authority nor the Bank of England. They were too focused, it

:03:44. > :03:48.says, on ticking boxes. They must devote more thought to where the

:03:48. > :03:53.rest really lies. Mr Diamond and Marcus Agius quit following the

:03:53. > :03:56.scandal. A criminal investigation has now been launched but the

:03:56. > :04:00.report makes recommendations for report makes recommendations for

:04:00. > :04:04.reforms. It says there should be bigger fines to deter wrongdoing, a

:04:04. > :04:08.new criminal laws to prosecute those found guilty, Better

:04:08. > :04:11.Regulation to spot fraud as it Regulation to spot fraud as it

:04:11. > :04:17.happens. That, the report suggests, could help restore public trust in

:04:17. > :04:22.banks, a trust currently at an all- time low.

:04:22. > :04:26.What has been the reaction to the report? It is pretty damning. It

:04:26. > :04:30.points the finger of blame at Barclays and also at the Bank of

:04:30. > :04:33.England and the Financial Services Authority, the regulators. It says

:04:33. > :04:39.that they did not spot this wrongdoing and even when they did,

:04:39. > :04:45.they were too slow to act. This will reinforce calls for reform,

:04:45. > :04:48.not only for the way that the rate is calculated but also for a reform

:04:48. > :04:51.of the financial services industry. There is currently a Bill before

:04:51. > :04:55.Parliament that will actually scrap the Financial Services Authority

:04:55. > :04:59.and replace it with three other watchdogs designed to prevent a

:04:59. > :05:03.repeat of this happening in future. Of course, this is the first

:05:03. > :05:06.investigation but not the only one. The Serious Fraud Office has

:05:06. > :05:09.launched an investigation and that has the power to bring criminal

:05:09. > :05:13.proceedings against those found guilty, and in the United States,

:05:14. > :05:18.just this week, the authorities that issued a subpoena to seven

:05:18. > :05:22.banks to provide evidence in its investigation into the crisis.

:05:22. > :05:26.Whilst we have some clarity from this report, it is unlikely that

:05:26. > :05:32.the full scale of the problems in the rate rigging scandal will

:05:32. > :05:36.really become known for many weeks, months or years. Thank you. It has

:05:36. > :05:40.been announced that a soldier from 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards has

:05:40. > :05:44.been killed in Afghanistan. The Ministry of Defence said that the

:05:44. > :05:48.soldier was killed by enemy action in Nahr-e Saraj. Next of kin has

:05:48. > :05:52.been informed. The South African President, Jacob

:06:01. > :06:06.mine this morning. On Thursday, police officers opened fire on

:06:06. > :06:10.several strikers, some of whom were armed. Mr Zuma said the country
