:00:11. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to inside out. We are coming to Ironbridge in
:00:17. > :00:27.Shropshire, where this bridge spans the River Severn. It symbolises the
:00:27. > :00:36.birth of the Industrial Revolution. Tonight: The 14 months manhunt for
:00:36. > :00:43.eight murder suspect ended in Morocco. His first work, I am
:00:43. > :00:53.innocent, I am not the killer. Also: State -- a faith schools.
:00:53. > :00:59.Either a good thing? -- are they a good thing? And the Birmingham
:00:59. > :01:09.musical maestro hoping to impress his hometown audience. That's all
:01:09. > :01:21.
:01:21. > :01:26.Back in May, 2011, a husband and wife and a two young daughters were
:01:26. > :01:31.found stabbed to death in the Midlands home. Within days,
:01:31. > :01:36.detectives had named a Birmingham businessman as their prime suspect.
:01:36. > :01:41.It took 14 months before they made an arrest, after a global manhunt
:01:41. > :01:48.which involved police from 180 different countries. Eventually, he
:01:48. > :01:50.was tracked down, working on a building site in Morocco. Police
:01:50. > :01:54.have launched a nationwide manhunt for the suspect they believe killed
:01:54. > :01:57.four members of the same family. Last year, I reported on the police
:01:57. > :02:00.search for a man they described as Britain's Most Wanted.
:02:00. > :02:03.A man that they've identified as a prime suspect in these killings.
:02:03. > :02:07.14 months later, Anxiang Du was arrested in North Africa. But no-
:02:07. > :02:17.one seems to know what he was doing there or how he was tracked down.
:02:17. > :02:18.
:02:18. > :02:21.So I'm off to find out. What I really want to know is how
:02:21. > :02:23.someone who's wanted on suspicion of four murders can simply
:02:23. > :02:30.disappear. And I'm in for a few surprises.
:02:31. > :02:36.He was living here first. He lived here? In this room? Yes. As most of
:02:36. > :02:39.us watched the Royal wedding, an appalling crime was carried out.
:02:39. > :02:44.Soon after William and Kate waved to the crowds, an entire family was
:02:44. > :02:46.murdered. University lecturer Jeff Ding, his wife Helen, and their
:02:46. > :02:55.daughters, 18-year-old Nancy and 12-year-old Alice, were all stabbed
:02:55. > :03:01.to death with the same knife. Their uncle had a question for the killer.
:03:01. > :03:11.How could you stab a knife into an innocent girl's heart? Not once,
:03:11. > :03:17.
:03:17. > :03:20.but twice? Police named a man from Coventry as their prime suspect. On
:03:20. > :03:23.the day of the killings, cameras spotted him leaving his shop in
:03:23. > :03:28.Birmingham, then at New Street Station, where he took a train to
:03:28. > :03:36.Northampton. And getting off a bus near to where the crime took place.
:03:36. > :03:39.The following day, there was a possible sighting in London. But
:03:39. > :03:42.the trail went cold. More than a year went by before police realised
:03:42. > :03:43.Anxiang Du had travelled through Europe to the Spanish port of
:03:44. > :03:46.Algeciras. From there, Anxiang Du took the
:03:47. > :03:53.ferry to Tangier in Morocco, a crossing which took him from Europe
:03:53. > :04:00.to North Africa. And it's a journey that I'm now taking to find out
:04:00. > :04:06.what he did next. Finding answers here won't be easy.
:04:06. > :04:10.The crowded medieval streets of Tangier hide many secrets. But I've
:04:10. > :04:12.arranged to meet a local contact. Hassan Alaoui is a Moroccan
:04:12. > :04:17.journalist. How confident are you that we will
:04:17. > :04:20.find out what happened to Anxiang Du during his time here in Tangier?
:04:20. > :04:23.Well, the people who have the information is definitely the
:04:23. > :04:29.police, because they were the people who caught him first. So if
:04:29. > :04:31.they are willing to help us, then our task will be easier. If we
:04:32. > :04:35.don't have the right contacts, the right persons, probably we will
:04:35. > :04:42.never get to the bottom of it. But before our meeting with the
:04:42. > :04:47.police, I want to try another lead. I've been told about an article in
:04:47. > :04:54.Tangier's local newspaper. It suggests Anxiang Du was arrested
:04:54. > :05:04.because someone recognised his photo in one of its editions.
:05:04. > :05:08.
:05:08. > :05:18.Hassan calls the editor. Shokram. You are lucky. What did he
:05:18. > :05:21.
:05:21. > :05:24.say? The man will see us tomorrow at ten o'clock. The following
:05:24. > :05:27.morning, we head for the newspaper offices, where the director general
:05:27. > :05:37.shows me the article he published about Anxiang Du when Interpol
:05:37. > :05:39.
:05:39. > :05:41.first suggested he could be living in Morocco. It worked. Just hours
:05:41. > :05:47.after his photo was printed, someone called the paper claiming
:05:47. > :05:52.they'd not only seen him, but knew where he was. This person worked on
:05:52. > :05:57.a building site as a guard. The owner of the site is a friend of
:05:57. > :06:00.ours. He didn't know him. He just saw him in the street. He thought
:06:00. > :06:06.he looked like an honest man who was looking for work. So, he
:06:06. > :06:11.employed him as a security guard for his business. Did Anxiang Du
:06:11. > :06:16.really spend a year in Tangier working on a construction site? We
:06:16. > :06:25.head for the city's main police station to find out. The meeting
:06:25. > :06:28.with the police chief has taken weeks to arrange. All we've been
:06:28. > :06:31.told is that he's expecting us. It's very, very rare that a police
:06:31. > :06:35.will grant you an interview here because they are very quiet. They
:06:35. > :06:38.prefer to work than to talk. today Tangier's police chief is
:06:38. > :06:42.talking, telling me about a suspected illegal immigrant he
:06:42. > :06:47.questioned more than a year ago near the Algerian border. I wonder
:06:47. > :06:57.why he's telling me the story, until he hands me the man's photo.
:06:57. > :07:05.This photo, it's from Oujda. So this is him. You can see the date
:07:05. > :07:07.there. This is Anxaing Du. And it was taken more than a year ago. May
:07:07. > :07:10.2011. The photo is a shock - evidence
:07:10. > :07:13.that just five days after the killings, Anxiang Du was in police
:07:13. > :07:20.custody in Morocco. But because he had no documents and refused to
:07:20. > :07:23.talk, officers had no idea who he was or where he came from. At the
:07:23. > :07:30.time, British detectives didn't even know he was abroad, and he was
:07:30. > :07:37.released. It was another 14 months before he was re-arrested.
:07:37. > :07:41.Did you recognise him immediately, then? As soon as I saw him, he
:07:41. > :07:47.reminded me of the man I had seen in Oujda. What did Anxiang Du
:07:47. > :07:57.actually say to you? The first word I remember: "I am not. I am
:07:57. > :07:59.
:08:00. > :08:02.So the police have agreed to take us to the spot where they arrested
:08:02. > :08:05.Anxiang Du, and, apparently, it's about four miles outside of Tangier
:08:05. > :08:15.on a construction site where apparently - we've been told he was
:08:15. > :08:17.
:08:17. > :08:21.living. And this was a time when dozens of police officers back home
:08:21. > :08:29.in Britain were after him. This is the spot where he was, and no-one
:08:29. > :08:36.We arrive at a building site. I'm led up a steep staircase and then
:08:36. > :08:39.towards a particular room. He was living here first. He lived here?
:08:39. > :08:49.In this room? Yes. Chief Superintendent Abdallah Berri tells
:08:49. > :08:59.me this was where he and two of his colleagues made the arrest. When we
:08:59. > :09:05.came here, we just more or less jumped on him and we surprised him.
:09:05. > :09:14.He was not expecting it. Physically jumped on him? All three of you?
:09:14. > :09:24.Three of them. And we handcuffed him. When you jumped on him and
:09:24. > :09:25.
:09:25. > :09:33.arrested him, what was his reaction? Did he scream out?
:09:34. > :09:37.reaction whatsover. Really? He was surprised. Why? Why? He tells me
:09:37. > :09:41.Anxiang Du was dressed like a vagrant and wore plastic sandals.
:09:41. > :09:44.And he shows me the remains of his makeshift kitchen. Then I'm
:09:44. > :09:49.introduced to the owner of the building, who tells me it was he
:09:49. > :09:55.who recognised Anxiang Du's photo in the paper and called the police.
:09:56. > :10:03.When I saw his photo, I was shocked. I know this face. Oh he's the
:10:03. > :10:07.Chinese with my workers there. what was his story? What did he
:10:07. > :10:10.tell you? What did you know about him? He told me that he is in
:10:10. > :10:13.Casablanca. He was working. He had some friends and family in
:10:13. > :10:17.Casablanca and now he wanted to come here to Tangier because
:10:17. > :10:20.Tangier is improving with a lot of work. He denies employing Anxiang
:10:20. > :10:27.Du as a security guard, but says his workers did offer him food and
:10:27. > :10:36.shelter. The people who work for me, they helped him to... Because you
:10:36. > :10:39.know in Morocco they are hospitable. People here don't work - they give
:10:39. > :10:42.him food. You understand? So Morocco is very well-known for its
:10:42. > :10:50.hospitality. So now we know. This is where Anxiang Du's 14 months on
:10:50. > :10:53.the run ended. Here in this room on a construction site in Tangier. All
:10:53. > :11:01.that time British police were after him, here he was, on a makeshift
:11:01. > :11:07.bed made out of wood, cardboard and a few stones. With my questions
:11:07. > :11:11.answered, I'm heading home. But Anxiang Du remains in a Moroccan
:11:12. > :11:21.prison, awaiting extradition back to Britain. He continues to protest
:11:22. > :11:31.
:11:31. > :11:35.The story behind the headlines. Is there a story based here in the
:11:35. > :11:45.West Midlands you would like to know more about? If so, drop me an
:11:45. > :11:47.
:11:47. > :11:51.e-mail. One in three publicly funded schools are faith schools.
:11:51. > :11:59.They have long been part of the education system. They are being
:11:59. > :12:09.joined by a growing number of Muslim, Sikh and Hindu schools.
:12:09. > :12:09.
:12:09. > :12:19.Critics argued they're divisive and prevent integration. Fake schools
:12:19. > :12:25.
:12:25. > :12:31.are mushrooming in the country. -- faith schools. There is no argument
:12:31. > :12:41.that free to schools segregate. Their core is friction in the
:12:41. > :12:41.
:12:41. > :12:46.community. There are people who want to hold onto their religion.
:12:46. > :12:56.Polarised views on controversial debate. Should the taxpayer fund
:12:56. > :12:57.
:12:57. > :13:02.7,000 of the nation's 21,000 schools are based on religion and
:13:02. > :13:12.they are growing. Many parents are not happy with the local secular
:13:12. > :13:15.
:13:15. > :13:21.The Leicester Islamic Academy was one of the first Muslim schools in
:13:21. > :13:25.the country. Established before the Government gave the go-ahead for
:13:25. > :13:31.large numbers of three new faith has caused, it charges for the
:13:31. > :13:38.education. But despite the cost, there is huge demand. For every
:13:38. > :13:42.place, there R5 applications. better than most schools. We are
:13:42. > :13:45.higher up and the League, there being an independent school we are
:13:45. > :13:52.not entered into the league tables. But we are doing better than all
:13:52. > :13:57.the other schools around us. If you are sad and you know it, tell a
:13:57. > :14:02.friend. If you are sad and you know it and you really want to show it,
:14:02. > :14:06.if you are sad and you know it, tell a friend. As far as the
:14:06. > :14:13.education is concerned, it gives you were a normal education but
:14:13. > :14:20.underpinned by the ethos of our religion. -- it gives you a normal
:14:20. > :14:24.education. You have the gingerbread men here, jack and the Beanstalk.
:14:25. > :14:29.So it is more about the ethical side making sure the children are
:14:29. > :14:39.brought up with religion in mind as well. Recent surveys have shown
:14:39. > :14:39.
:14:39. > :14:42.more than 60% of the 25 top-ranking state schools are based on religion.
:14:42. > :14:47.Although many accept that they provide a good education they say
:14:47. > :14:52.it is not balanced. It does not give the opportunity of bordering
:14:52. > :14:58.the horizons of knowledge, and the knowledge becomes limited and as
:14:59. > :15:07.they grow up, they do not grow up into rounded children, rounded
:15:07. > :15:14.citizens who would create harmony in society. -- the opportunity of
:15:14. > :15:23.broadening their horizons. This eyes call is linked to the -- this
:15:23. > :15:27.a high school is linked to the Muslim academy. These children's
:15:27. > :15:33.classmates are nearly all Muslims. Did they resent it when their
:15:33. > :15:38.parents sent them to an Islamic school? Absolutely not. I respect
:15:38. > :15:42.the decision of my parents bringing me to the school and I am grateful
:15:42. > :15:45.because through the years I have learned to build my confident with
:15:45. > :15:49.my religion and I can integrate into society with no problems
:15:49. > :15:54.whatsoever. I can go into college and on to university with an
:15:54. > :15:59.identity of being a Muslim girl. did have doubts that first because
:15:59. > :16:03.I thought I was going to miss out on everything else, but now I am in
:16:03. > :16:08.Year 11 and I see I haven't because I have a great education and that
:16:08. > :16:12.teachers, they teach fantastically. Parents need to have that choice
:16:12. > :16:15.and freedom. I am a great believer this country is about freedom and
:16:15. > :16:21.opportunities and the school provides an opportunity. If the
:16:22. > :16:28.demand were not there, faith scores were not flourish as they are doing.
:16:28. > :16:32.I think faith is an over-used word in this country. Schools should be
:16:32. > :16:38.teaching their religion but I do not think the state has any
:16:38. > :16:45.responsibility at all in providing funding for this purpose. Are we
:16:45. > :16:49.ready for the new day? Chris is the head teacher at this school. He is
:16:49. > :16:55.a Christian and says it is vital all faith schools open their doors
:16:55. > :17:00.to all religions. He it is a British school with a Hindu ethos
:17:00. > :17:06.but that is inclusive and in admissions policy it states that we
:17:06. > :17:15.give the first 50% of places to other faiths or long face and then
:17:16. > :17:23.the last 50 per vet -- 50% goes to the Hindu faith. -- or no faith,
:17:23. > :17:30.and then the last 50%. Prime Minister David Cameron says faith
:17:30. > :17:37.schools provide more choice. And it is a choice which the parents of
:17:37. > :17:43.Oliver were delighted to make. At the moment, he has one of only two
:17:43. > :17:47.Christian pupils at this school. -- he is. We were overwhelmed by the
:17:47. > :17:57.ethos of the school and despite being Christians, we actually
:17:57. > :18:02.
:18:02. > :18:06.thought it would be a perfect For more than fit -- 30 years, this
:18:06. > :18:11.former High Sheriff of Leicester has led a campaign to bring faith
:18:12. > :18:20.together. He believes the new wave of free Ridge -- free religious
:18:20. > :18:25.schools will lead to more divisions. Now the time has come for us to be
:18:25. > :18:31.operating as a mainstream. Living along with others and also showing
:18:32. > :18:36.respect to others. But if we are going to be exclusively operating
:18:36. > :18:40.within our own faith in our own community, then I think the
:18:40. > :18:44.contribution to society as a whole will not be very beneficial.
:18:44. > :18:48.Religion has played a very important part throughout the
:18:48. > :18:52.history of education. And in this country especially, and I think
:18:52. > :18:57.that is of very good value and I believe we can still hold on to
:18:57. > :19:03.that without compromising dealing with each other and people of other
:19:03. > :19:08.faiths, religions or other schools. The Government is keen to have
:19:08. > :19:12.found it more faith schools and it is believed that them being free
:19:12. > :19:19.from authority control will drive up standards. But many are asking,
:19:19. > :19:23.will this be at the expense of a more harmonious society?
:19:23. > :19:29.You are watching Inside Out for the West Midlands. Next on the show,
:19:29. > :19:35.Andris Nelsons began his musical career as a trumpeter and won many
:19:35. > :19:37.prizes for his singing but it is in his role as music director for the
:19:37. > :19:41.City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra that Dickie was truly
:19:41. > :19:47.catapulted to musical stardom. Since 2008, he has been delighting
:19:47. > :19:57.audiences around the world but for him, one concert meant so much. A
:19:57. > :20:07.
:20:07. > :20:13.Andris Nelsons is a big star in the world of classical music.
:20:13. > :20:21.absolutely feels every moment and he lives every moment. I think his
:20:21. > :20:26.passion, his inspiration, his energy, it is just sublime. I think
:20:26. > :20:31.it is my task to inspire and to be in management -- imaginative and
:20:31. > :20:33.sincere and honest with the music. He's on his way to the City Of
:20:33. > :20:36.Birmingham Symphony Orchestra's opening night of the season. As
:20:36. > :20:44.Music Director and Chief Donductor, there's plenty expected of him
:20:44. > :20:47.tonight. Of course, for me Birmingham is firstly associated
:20:47. > :20:52.with orchestra and of course I love the orchestra and the audience and
:20:52. > :20:54.therefore I love the city. It's not just Andris under pressure.
:20:54. > :21:03.The CBSO's Chief Executive is making sure everything's just right
:21:03. > :21:10.for opening night. Just attending to the details to make sure
:21:10. > :21:17.everything runs smoothly, really. How many singers do we have? 180.
:21:17. > :21:20.Wow! Grave! Just see how we are doing on the tickets. Just the last
:21:20. > :21:23.minute preparations being made... Checking everything is OK,
:21:23. > :21:30.everything's ready to go. Andris doesn't talk to anyone ahead
:21:30. > :21:35.of a concert. He's totally focused on the performance. He's a very
:21:36. > :21:39.excitable character, as you will see from when he conducts. He is
:21:39. > :21:44.incredibly in the moment and he makes the music very exciting but
:21:44. > :21:54.it means the rest of the time he has to be very calm so as not to
:21:54. > :22:24.
:22:24. > :22:29.Absolutely brilliant. Wonderful! was absolutely sublime! The best
:22:29. > :22:32.thing made him Birmingham. Overwhelming! Absolutely brilliant.
:22:32. > :22:42.Concert over, and it's another huge success, but now Andris has an even
:22:42. > :22:42.
:22:42. > :22:45.bigger challenge ahead. Hello, good morning. So, we start with the
:22:45. > :22:48.first movement... Back with the orchestra, and
:22:48. > :22:58.rehearsals begin for a very special concert in Andris' home country of
:22:58. > :23:09.
:23:09. > :23:14.One technical request, can we please do the first bar... The long
:23:14. > :23:19.notes, a little longer. You have very talented conductors and they
:23:19. > :23:24.don't always click with a can -- and orchestra. But this was love at
:23:24. > :23:29.first sight. Please, not anything like that, but the rhythm, if you
:23:29. > :23:31.play 37, like that. But despite having the orchestra's
:23:31. > :23:39.full support, it's obvious that Andris is worried about returning
:23:39. > :23:45.home. Very excited to be back with Birmingham but also very nervous...
:23:45. > :23:50.Because I know how critical they can be! I am very thankful, I
:23:50. > :23:57.really am. I don't want it to sound as if I have any bitterness. It is
:23:57. > :23:59.not that. It is just... A big pressure and responsibility that I
:23:59. > :24:02.feel. In Birmingham, Andris can wander
:24:02. > :24:12.about virtually unnoticed, but back home in Riga, it's a very different
:24:12. > :24:21.
:24:21. > :24:25.matter. His first task is to deal with the nation's press.
:24:25. > :24:31.Latvians he is a very, very important personality and a big
:24:31. > :24:37.star. We are always very happy knowing he is coming here. Maybe he
:24:37. > :24:43.is standing in front of our orchestras but with Birmingham
:24:43. > :24:47.Orchestra, it is very special. really want to say it again and to
:24:48. > :24:52.have an opportunity to say how much I love you and I am really so proud
:24:52. > :24:56.of you and very happy to be here. It is my home country where I am
:24:56. > :24:59.very nervous, as you know! Returning to Latvia is an emotional
:24:59. > :25:04.experience for Andris. While the orchestra enjoys his hospitality,
:25:04. > :25:07.Andris' thoughts drift to his family. His wife is one of Latvia's
:25:07. > :25:15.top opera singers, and although Andris may be back home, she's
:25:16. > :25:24.performing in Switzerland and their young daughter is with her.
:25:24. > :25:28.miss my family. The most important association with Riga at this point
:25:28. > :25:34.in my life, at the beginning, it was because it was a city but now I
:25:34. > :25:39.have been so busy and seeing so many cities, I miss it more and
:25:39. > :25:42.obviously it is the people and family I associate with Riga for me.
:25:42. > :25:48.The venue for tomorrow night's concert is also very special. This
:25:48. > :25:58.is where Andris' musical journey all began. The first memory I have,
:25:58. > :26:08.I was sitting there... In that box, when I was five years old. And I
:26:08. > :26:11.
:26:11. > :26:15.heard a Wagner opera. I was sitting there and I remember... The same
:26:15. > :26:19.feeling when it went dark and I was a five-year-old boy listening to
:26:19. > :26:26.Wagner and I still remember that feeling. And then later, playing in
:26:26. > :26:34.the orchestra, and then of course conducting here on the stage. I
:26:34. > :26:39.mean, all my... Basic musical education in the beginning, of
:26:39. > :26:43.course, was here, and that is bigger memories. It still feels
:26:43. > :26:46.like it was yesterday. Concert day, and time for one final
:26:46. > :26:56.rehearsal. Watching on proudly, the man who gave Andris his first
:26:56. > :26:59.
:26:59. > :27:03.conducting job. I think he's living just in the music. Every moment he
:27:03. > :27:13.is not conducting, he is also thinking about the music and
:27:13. > :27:20.
:27:20. > :27:23.training himself. He is in the music.
:27:23. > :27:33.For Andris, the time has come to step back onto the stage where it
:27:33. > :27:43.
:27:43. > :27:50.It means a lot to me because I come from here and it was, at times, not
:27:50. > :28:00.easy when I started, I must say. I was surprised. The building is
:28:00. > :28:07.always so nice and warm! That kind of reception meant a lot to me so
:28:07. > :28:12.it is really a very personal and emotionally evocative.
:28:12. > :28:17.Well, but is it for tonight, but if you've got a story here in the West
:28:17. > :28:20.Midlands you think we should know about, do drop me an email. Here is
:28:20. > :28:30.the address. And if you would like to find out anything about
