:00:09. > :00:12.A BBC investigation reveals new evidence of widespread sexual abuse
:00:13. > :00:15.at a boys' school in Rochdale. A local official claims he blew
:00:16. > :00:18.the whistle on alleged abuse 20 years ago at Knowl View but
:00:19. > :00:22.the council covered up his report. I imagined it blowing
:00:23. > :00:27.up any time soon. The fact that it didn't
:00:28. > :00:31.has always amazed me. Tonight Rochdale Council say they
:00:32. > :00:33.can't comment because of an ongoing legal inquiry.
:00:34. > :00:36.Also on the programme. The man given months to live and the
:00:37. > :00:40.medical breakthrough which means his cancer now appears to have vanished.
:00:41. > :00:43.The British police begin digging in a search area of the Portugese
:00:44. > :00:48.resort where Madeleine McCann went missing seven years ago.
:00:49. > :00:53.House prices rise by over 11% in the past 12 months.
:00:54. > :00:56.The fastest growth for seven years. And as England begin training
:00:57. > :01:04.in Miami, it's so hot they need huge fans to cool them down.
:01:05. > :01:09.The search for the missing backpacker. Malaysian police say
:01:10. > :01:13.they have discovered new clues. And then you look at Tottenham Court
:01:14. > :01:30.Road is unveiled with cars and taxis band.
:01:31. > :01:34.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.
:01:35. > :01:38.New evidence has emerged spelling out widespread sexual abuse
:01:39. > :01:41.at a boy's school in Rochdale. Boys as young as eight were being
:01:42. > :01:45.assaulted at Knowl View, according to a report seen by BBC news.
:01:46. > :01:48.Now, the health official who alerted the authorities to
:01:49. > :01:52.the abuse over 20 years ago says he believes his report was covered up.
:01:53. > :01:55.He warned the local council the abuse could become a public
:01:56. > :01:58.scandal if nothing was done. The former MP Cyril Smith,
:01:59. > :02:02.who was previously a governor at the school, has also been accused of
:02:03. > :02:10.abusing boys there years earlier. Richard Bilton's report contains
:02:11. > :02:14.some distressing allegations. It was the school where vulnerable
:02:15. > :02:18.boys were routinely abused. Tonight we reveal the full extent
:02:19. > :02:21.of the scandal of Knowl View. The abuse the authorities knew
:02:22. > :02:29.about, the documents that detailed forced sex and prostitution.
:02:30. > :02:32.The boys who lived in fear and the parents who it's claimed
:02:33. > :02:34.were never tell the truth. Knowl View was
:02:35. > :02:38.a residential school and Peter was 11 when he was sent there.
:02:39. > :02:42.He's never spoken on television before.
:02:43. > :02:47.I was abused on the first night. Of arriving.
:02:48. > :02:50.Who abused you? One of the members of staff
:02:51. > :02:54.at the time. You'd hear a click click.
:02:55. > :03:01.The door opening. And then you'd hear the footsteps.
:03:02. > :03:03.You knew it was either you they were coming for or somebody
:03:04. > :03:06.in your dormitory. It wasn't just staff.
:03:07. > :03:11.Peter says the worst nights were when people
:03:12. > :03:16.were brought from outside. We were raped.
:03:17. > :03:21.There was a flat. We were taken there
:03:22. > :03:25.and plied with drink and raped. The school is long gone, but its
:03:26. > :03:31.legacy still sits across this town. Now people are looking for answers.
:03:32. > :03:35.Do you want a man to represent you or do you want a party robot?
:03:36. > :03:37.At various points, Cyril Smith was a governor at Knowl View.
:03:38. > :03:43.A new police investigation is looking at allegations of abuse
:03:44. > :03:47.and whether they were covered up. Perhaps they could start
:03:48. > :03:49.with these three reports. Written, more than 20 years ago,
:03:50. > :03:55.never published but obtained by our investigation.
:03:56. > :04:00.The record in detail how boys were abused at Knowl View
:04:01. > :04:02.and how the system let them down. The first was
:04:03. > :04:05.by a health professional. His findings are shocking,
:04:06. > :04:09.boys as young as ight working as prostitutes,
:04:10. > :04:12.others forced to have sex. He wrote, "Parents of children
:04:13. > :04:16.at the school would be horrified were the facts to be known.
:04:17. > :04:18.Unless some incisive actions taken soon, it is more than likely that
:04:19. > :04:27.this activity will become a public scandal."
:04:28. > :04:32.23 years later, we tracked him down. He said he only went into
:04:33. > :04:37.the school to help with training. It was a bombshell to us.
:04:38. > :04:42.So I wrote a report. I imagined it blowing
:04:43. > :04:47.up any time soon. The fact that it didn't
:04:48. > :04:51.has always amazed me. The BBC has seen documents that seem
:04:52. > :04:55.to show his report was passed on to other departments within
:04:56. > :04:57.the Council and to the police. An investigation was recorded
:04:58. > :05:00.requested a month after Mr Shepherd's report.
:05:01. > :05:03.Despite the details of abuse and prostitution, six weeks later,
:05:04. > :05:12.an investigation was ruled out. Phil Shepherd believes not enough
:05:13. > :05:16.was done to help the children and will say as much to
:05:17. > :05:20.the council's independent enquiry. People say cover up, don't they?
:05:21. > :05:26.To be quite honest with you, I can't see any other reason that it
:05:27. > :05:30.hasn't come out and it wasn't dealt with effectively at the time.
:05:31. > :05:35.Do you think it was covered up? I have a feeling it properly was.
:05:36. > :05:38.Rochdale Council says it can't comment until
:05:39. > :05:40.an independent review is complete. In the early 90s, two further
:05:41. > :05:44.reports were commissioned inside the council and documents suggest
:05:45. > :05:55.changes were being made but some at the school say not enough was done.
:05:56. > :05:57.Nobody's seen this report. Martin Deegan worked at Knowl View
:05:58. > :05:59.as a social worker. He believes the reports were
:06:00. > :06:02.ignored and parents were never told what happened to their boys.
:06:03. > :06:05.Complete fabrication of the truth, complete cover-up by
:06:06. > :06:09.Rochdale Council. Not one parent has seen the report.
:06:10. > :06:12.Not one of the children has seen the report.
:06:13. > :06:15.Do you think the children of that school have had justice yet?
:06:16. > :06:21.No, not by no means. I feel very strongly they've
:06:22. > :06:23.had no justice yet, none. It's 23 years since Phil Shepherd
:06:24. > :06:28.came to the school. Why didn't he do more to raise
:06:29. > :06:32.the alarm? I've looked back,
:06:33. > :06:36.thought about it often. Certainly more recently.
:06:37. > :06:39.And thought I possibly should have done.
:06:40. > :06:42.I'm not sure what it would have been.
:06:43. > :06:52.I still find it hard to believe that it could have been...
:06:53. > :06:53.I'm looking for an alternative for cover-up.
:06:54. > :06:56.It could've been repressed, it could have been hidden,
:06:57. > :06:58.it could've been locked away. I just don't understand that.
:06:59. > :07:01.But Phil Shepherd may still make a difference.
:07:02. > :07:04.His belief that his report was suppressed is important for those
:07:05. > :07:07.victims taking legal action. It is very significant Mr Shepherd
:07:08. > :07:10.is of the opinion that his report was covered up.
:07:11. > :07:14.There he was at the heart of the investigation and here we are
:07:15. > :07:17.in 2014, with him saying he believes there was a cover-up.
:07:18. > :07:25.All the evidence so far points to that report
:07:26. > :07:29.remaining under the radar. And with it, the legitimate question
:07:30. > :07:32.can be asked, was there a cover-up? Pressure is building.
:07:33. > :07:36.Private legal action, a police investigation
:07:37. > :07:38.and an independent enquiry. This town may at last have
:07:39. > :07:51.to give up its secrets. In Rochdale this evening, no comment
:07:52. > :07:54.from the council. They say the independent enquiry is not due to
:07:55. > :07:57.report until the end of July so they say the independent enquiry is not
:07:58. > :08:02.due to report until the end of July survey Chief Superintendent Jackson
:08:03. > :08:07.in charge of CID for Greater Manchester who oversees the
:08:08. > :08:10.investigation into Knowl View. He was aware of the documents in that
:08:11. > :08:14.report and he said to me if those documents came to the police now,
:08:15. > :08:18.they would be treated very differently and prompt a very
:08:19. > :08:21.different response. It would be at the other end of the scale.
:08:22. > :08:26.Richard, thank you. to give up its secrets.
:08:27. > :08:28.Doctors are describing the results as astonishing, jaw-dropping.
:08:29. > :08:31.They are talking about a possible breakthrough in the treatment of one
:08:32. > :08:34.of the deadliest forms of cancer. An international trial
:08:35. > :08:37.of two drugs which help the body target its own tumours saw hugely
:08:38. > :08:42.improved survival rates in patients with advanced melanoma who had been
:08:43. > :08:44.expected to survive only months. Now it could be applied to other
:08:45. > :08:52.cancers, as our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh reports.
:08:53. > :08:59.Another weapon in the war on Cancer. Not a cure-all, but two treatments
:09:00. > :09:03.which harness the power of the immune system to target cancerous
:09:04. > :09:09.cells like these. Eight months ago, this man could barely walk, advanced
:09:10. > :09:16.melanoma, skin cancer had spread to his lungs. He was given Munster live
:09:17. > :09:19.until he began a new treatment. Now I have a life, that's the
:09:20. > :09:24.difference. Before, all I had to look forward to was weeks maybe
:09:25. > :09:33.months of chemotherapy, radiotherapy. With this drug, it's
:09:34. > :09:37.wonderful, Lifeline. This scan shows cancer growing in his lungs. After
:09:38. > :09:40.just three drug infusions, it is completely cleared.
:09:41. > :09:42.correspondent Fergus Walsh reports. Immunotherapy is one of the most
:09:43. > :09:45.promising areas of cancer research. Specialist cells known
:09:46. > :09:48.as T cells patrol our bodies to protect them from foreign invaders.
:09:49. > :09:52.But some cancers, including melanoma, are able to
:09:53. > :09:56.evade it by activating a biological switch called PD-1 on T cells.
:09:57. > :10:02.This either destroys or deactivates them.
:10:03. > :10:03.The new drugs block this mechanism. This allows the T cells to
:10:04. > :10:16.recognise and attack the cancer. It's truly astonishing that such a
:10:17. > :10:22.new drug at a very early stage of development is really showing us
:10:23. > :10:30.really very tangible benefits at such an early stage. In a trial of
:10:31. > :10:34.one of the drugs, 69% of patients survived at least one year. Average
:10:35. > :10:42.survival used to be a few months. In a trial of another drug, survival
:10:43. > :10:47.was even better. 85% after one year, and 79% after two years. The
:10:48. > :10:52.experimental melanoma drugs may get a licence within two years and then
:10:53. > :10:58.it will be a question of how much they cost. The same treatment might
:10:59. > :10:59.also work against other cancers and are already being tested on patients
:11:00. > :11:05.with lung, kidney and other tumours. recognise and attack the cancer.
:11:06. > :11:08.Police officers have been digging in an area of scrubland near Praia
:11:09. > :11:10.de Luz, the Portuguese resort where Madeleine McCann went missing seven
:11:11. > :11:12.years ago. Today the British police brought
:11:13. > :11:15.in specialised sniffer dogs on the second day of the search.
:11:16. > :11:21.Our correspondent Jon Kay reports from there.
:11:22. > :11:33.In the scorching heat, sniffer dogs from Britain hunt for clues. Two
:11:34. > :11:37.years ago, these dogs from South Wales Police were searching for
:11:38. > :11:41.April Jones. Now they are in Portugal looking for signs of
:11:42. > :11:46.Madeleine McCann. The area the dogs are focusing on is right on the edge
:11:47. > :11:50.of the 15 acres of scrubland currently being searched. Next to
:11:51. > :11:56.hotel buildings and private villas. And they keep returning to this site
:11:57. > :12:01.again and again. The search is taking place just a few minutes walk
:12:02. > :12:06.from the holiday apartment where Madeleine vanished seven years ago.
:12:07. > :12:13.Today, undergrowth was cleared in a few specific areas and then one
:12:14. > :12:20.particular plot ten metres by six, became the focus of attention. Mark
:12:21. > :12:24.Dowd and measured before digging began. That marked out. Officers
:12:25. > :12:33.taking small samples of the rock and dried earth. They came with a
:12:34. > :12:38.British police,. This man questioned whether they will get any clues.
:12:39. > :12:42.Seven years later? No dog is going to pick a percent because it's long
:12:43. > :12:47.gone after that time. There's going to be no evidence of disturbed
:12:48. > :12:51.ground after seven years. These things get weathered. The Scotland
:12:52. > :12:55.Yard detective who requested the surge has not spoken publicly about
:12:56. > :12:59.why all this is happening now. But it's understood Portuguese police
:13:00. > :13:02.have today agreed for two other sites to be searched in the resort
:13:03. > :13:07.and that should happen before the end of this week.
:13:08. > :13:08.Kay reports from there. Northern Ireland's Chief Constable,
:13:09. > :13:11.Matt Baggott, is to be taken to court over claims
:13:12. > :13:16.the force is deliberately withholding information about
:13:17. > :13:18.the role of police in the alleged covering up of crimes committed
:13:19. > :13:19.by informers during the Troubles. The police ombudsman,
:13:20. > :13:24.Michael Maguire, claims he has been refused access to
:13:25. > :13:26.information related to 60 murders. His team are conducting
:13:27. > :13:33.investigations into past crimes as part of the continuing peace
:13:34. > :13:36.process in the province. House prices have risen by more than
:13:37. > :13:39.11% in the past 12 months, according to the Nationwide building society.
:13:40. > :13:41.The increase marks the fastest annual growth for seven years.
:13:42. > :13:44.But there are signs the market could be slowing.
:13:45. > :13:48.The European Commission has warned of risks and offered advice to the
:13:49. > :13:50.UK government on how to adjust the housing market to sustain growth.
:13:51. > :14:03.Simon Gompertz reports. Terraced house, North, East, South,
:14:04. > :14:07.West, how big this jump in house prices feels depends on where you
:14:08. > :14:14.live, and what you own if anything. But the average rate of increase per
:14:15. > :14:18.year has risen to its fastest at 11% since 2007. Nationwide says the raid
:14:19. > :14:20.could now be slowing but in Altrincham near Manchester, that's
:14:21. > :14:24.little consolation for potential buyers. Me and my partner have been
:14:25. > :14:25.trying little consolation for potential
:14:26. > :14:26.buyers. Me and to get on the property ladder for the last
:14:27. > :14:29.little consolation for potential buyers. Me and to get on two years
:14:30. > :14:31.and we found it a struggle. To me it seems ridiculous house prices can
:14:32. > :14:37.increase that much when salaries aren't going up in comparison. The
:14:38. > :14:41.big question is, will the house price increases really slow down or
:14:42. > :14:45.will they rise into the stratosphere? If they carry on going
:14:46. > :14:49.at the current pace, the pressure will build on the government and the
:14:50. > :14:55.Bank of England to do something about it. Some housing experts say
:14:56. > :15:03.don't panic. This is not a crisis yet. It's too early to be talking
:15:04. > :15:08.about the UK boom. This is typical of market recovery. Prices rising.
:15:09. > :15:13.When there are too many buyers and not enough sellers. That will start
:15:14. > :15:28.to balance out in time and the risk is a long term lack of supply.

:21:34. > :21:39.brother, Kenny, who now wants all dangerous dogs to be muzzled. He
:21:40. > :21:45.died horrifically. This is 2013 he died in, not the middle ages. It

:22:10. > :22:14.who is 54, have suffered serious injuries after a head on crash

:22:46. > :22:55.Release me, please. I'm begging you. Bring me Years of home. Captivity,

:23:03. > :23:09.At what cost? Please... Bring me home. To secure his release, the US
:23:10. > :23:12.government negotiated with the Taliban and released five of the
:23:13. > :23:21.group's militants from Guantanamo Bay. Seen here being welcomed in
:23:22. > :23:24.Qatar. Some of those who served with Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl say he's a
:23:25. > :23:29.traitor. He walked right out the base. He deserted us in the middle
:23:30. > :23:35.of Afghanistan to go and find the Taliban. It appears he became
:23:36. > :23:39.disillusion with America's role in Pakistan. Critics say others died in
:23:40. > :23:43.the search to find him. People calling him a hero. People calling
:23:44. > :23:50.him this great soldier. It's a spit in the face to the soldiers who died
:23:51. > :23:56.as a direct result to him leaving. Family and friends and those who
:23:57. > :24:00.worked to hard to beep his plight in the spotlight are waiting to welcome
:24:01. > :24:06.him home. We are staying out of the politics. We will leave that to the
:24:07. > :24:10.rest of the world. We will welcome Bowe home with open arms. We have
:24:11. > :24:16.the boy back. We will let everyone else deal with the politics of it
:24:17. > :24:21.all. There are questions about whether America endangered more of
:24:22. > :24:24.its soldiers. The President says he has no doubts. Regardless of the
:24:25. > :24:31.circumstances, whatever those circumstances may turn out to be, we
:24:32. > :24:36.still get an American soldier back if he's held in captivity. Period.

:25:16. > :25:23.the England line-up for the World Cup yet. I prefer to take one step
:25:24. > :25:28.at a time. My problem is how we will play against Ecuador and how well we
:25:29. > :25:36.will do against Ecuador. Then we will turn to Hondorus and then turn
:25:37. > :25:42.to Italy. Dan Roan is in Miami for us. How useful is this preparation?
:25:43. > :25:46.Many questioned the FA's wisdom in bringing the England squad here for

:25:54. > :25:58.hurricane season here in Florida. Today, here at the Sun Life Stadium
:25:59. > :26:03.they got the conditions they were looking for. High humidity, similar
:26:04. > :26:08.to those they will experience in the Amazon jungle where they play their
:26:09. > :26:17.opening World Cup game against Italy. There are big decisions for
:26:18. > :26:21.Roy Hodgson to make despite the 3-0 win on Friday night not least the
:26:22. > :26:24.role of Wayne Rooney. The striker's role is being questioned as to
:26:25. > :26:29.whether he should be an automatic starter. Big decisions in terms of
:26:30. > :26:37.selection and tactics for Roy Hodgson. Now a look at the weather.

:26:45. > :26:48.Rain will spread in across many parts of the UK. It will stick
:26:49. > :26:50.around for much of the day, particularly across a good part of
