Good evening and welcome to the BBC's News at Six. | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
Three brothers, along with their uncle and two women, | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
been convicted of taking part in the sexual abuse of teenage | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
Victims told Sheffield Crown Court they had been raped, | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
beaten and used as prostitutes by a criminal gang which was led | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
It is a case that has exposed once again the extent to which political | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
correctness may have prevented the authorities from pursuing | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
This report form our correspondent, Alison Holt, contains details | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
For years the South Yorkshire town of Rotherham was regarded by the | :02:18. | :02:27. | |
three Hussain brothers as their domain. Here the court heard how | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
they dealt in drugs, guns, violencend and the abuse of girls. | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
The brothers operated in a brutal criminal underworld. Ash Hussain, | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
seen here arriving in court, was left paralysed by a gang land | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
shooting. He was described as the ringleader. Very quickly he started | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
being controlling and I wouldn't like to do anything without his | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
permission. Jessica was just 14 when she was groomed by 24-year-old Ash | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
Hussain. We have disguised her identity. He were very violent | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
towards me. There were times when I thought he was actually going to | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
kill me. That was on a daily basy. The Hussain' UNNing l Qurban Ali was | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
convicted of conspiracy to rape and two women Karen MacGregor and | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
Shelley Davies were found guilty. The offences went back more than 25 | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
years. Outside court the victims were praised for their strength. | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
Some had listened from the public gallery holding hands as the | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
verdicts were read out They have shown incredible bravery reliving | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
vicious events for the court. These men's actions and those of the women | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
who facilitated them are utterly abhorrent. Such depravity has no | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
place in our society. It's hard to describe the appalling nature of the | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
abuse. In 2014 an inquiry estimated more than 1,400 children in | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
Rotherham had been sexually exploited over a 16-year period. A | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
number of gangs were involved. The Hussains were key. | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
This report says by October 200154 young women had been linked to the | :04:21. | :04:31. | |
brothers. 18 of the women had identified one man, Ash Hussain, to | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
project workers as their boyfriend. It gives a sense of the scale of | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
what was going on and just how much was known. Adele wrote that report | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
as part of of a Home Office research project. She welcomes today's | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
convictions but says we still need to know why action wasn't taken | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
years ago. It is a bit of a hallow result because it should have | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
happened 15 years ago. The evidence was there is 15 years ago. We all | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
know the price the children of Rotherham have paid because that | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
information wasn't acted on there and then. A number of police | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
officers are now under investigation. It's also been said | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
because many of the exploiters were of Pakistani origin the authorities | :05:18. | :05:26. | |
had concerns about seeing as racist. These sort of men have a very | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
negative and, in many cases, a racist attitude towards white young | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
girls. For too long, as a society, as a Pakistani community we turned a | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
blind eye ho these crimes. Both the police and council in Rotherham have | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
Allah poll guised for past failings and say today's convictions | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
underline their determination to take action against abusers past and | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
present. Alison is with me now. Do we have a clearer idea of why these | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
girls were ignored for so long? In the end, it's a complicated answer, | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
it comes in many parts. Part of the problem was attitudes at the time. | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
The girls, by their own admission, were difficult, stroppy teenagers, | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
lashing at those trying to help them. People didn't understand | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
grooming they took it when they said these men were their boy friends. | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
The issue of political correctness raised in the Jay Report. It's worth | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
saying the independent police Complaints Commission is | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
investigating 55 police officers for allegedly failing to act. There has | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
been major change at the council. This case today is a marker in the | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
ground for Rotherham that tide is being turned and things are | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
beginning to change. Certainly, that's what the victims hope. All | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
right Alison, thanks very much. Thank you. | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
They are personal friends and kindred spirits in politics | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
David Cameron and Michael Gove are at loggerheads today | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
after the Justice Secretary questioned whether the Prime | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
Minister's EU deal is legally binding. | :07:04. | :07:04. | |
Mr Gove, who's one of five Cabinet ministers backing the leave | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
campaign, told the BBC in an exclusive interview that some | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
of the changes could be thrown out by the European Court of Justice. | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
Our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, has the story. | :07:13. | :07:22. | |
The black and gold robes aren't just for fun. | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
Michael Gove is the Lord Chancellor, a job with heritage, | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
the man in charge of the law in England. | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
And he finds himself in a good old-fashioned legal row | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
with his close friend and colleague, David Cameron. | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
The Prime Minister says his EU deal cannot be reversed, | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
but Mr Gove says judges in Europe we don't control | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
could pick the agreement apart, because the deal isn't yet | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
written into European treaties, the pillars of EU law. | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
interprets the European Union treaties, and until this agreement | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
then the European Court of Justice is not bound | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
So as the man in charge of the legal system, | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
you are saying clearly, what David Cameron has got | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
from Brussels right now could be chucked out by European judges? | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
What David Cameron has got is an agreement amongst | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
It's an international law declaration. | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
and the facts are that the European Court of Justice is not bound | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
by this agreement until treaties are changed, and we don't know | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
So David Cameron's assertion that this is a done deal is wrong? | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
You're trying deliberately, and understandably, to get me | :08:36. | :08:44. | |
in stating that this was a legally binding agreement. | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
But I am asking you to make the distinction, | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
because the Prime Minister's campaign | :08:52. | :08:52. | |
is to say to the British population that the changes | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
he secured in Brussels will definitely happen, | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
that he has got them legally bound up, that his commitments | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
are essentially cast-iron guarantees, | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
and you're saying, on your side of the argument, | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
The law is clear that until the treaties change, | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
the European Court of Justice is bound only | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
He's telling people this is a done deal. | :09:13. | :09:22. | |
I don't believe he is being misleading, but I do | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
think it is important that people recognise | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
that the European Court of Justice | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
stands above every nation state and, ultimately, | :09:32. | :09:32. | |
it will decide on the basis of the treaties. | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
because Mr Gove and his wife are close friends | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
of the Camerons, but the clash is core to the arguments | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
So the Government sent out its top lawyer to say | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
The status of this agreement is not of no consequence, | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
This is an agreement which the court will be | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
just as they're bound to take account of the wordings | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
This agreement sets out clearly | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
what the 28 nation states want to happen. | :10:03. | :10:11. | |
Mr Gove's warning has rattled our Government | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
We unanimously agreed and adopted a legally | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
Its president tried to bolster their case today. | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
This is our Supreme Court, but this row is about the power | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
Number Ten says because every country in the EU signed up | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
to the deal, the European court has to pay attention. | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
But it's also true that unless and until the changes | :10:28. | :10:37. | |
are written into European law, they are subject to legal challenge | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
in the European court, and the judges could dispute them. | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
In a funny way, both David Cameron and Michael Gove are partly right. | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
But the Government cannot say with certainty that the changes | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
the Prime Minister fought hard to achieve | :10:52. | :10:52. | |
But for many voters and politicians, the most striking part | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
of being in the EU is the numbers of people who can make their lives | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
Our immigration policy means that we have some people who can | :11:04. | :11:12. | |
come into this country, who we might want to say no to, | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
and others who we might want to attract | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
For me, it's not a matter of numbers, | :11:18. | :11:25. | |
it's a matter of the type of people thta we want in this country. | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
I've always been suspicious of a transfer of power away | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
Given the opportunity, in a referendum, to make | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
a decision about whether or not we should be a democracy or not, | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
then I'm afraid I'm going to have to conclude | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
that we need to leave. | :11:49. | :11:49. | |
We're not currently a democracy, then? | :11:50. | :11:50. | |
I don't think we are properly self-governing. | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
will decide whether we stay or leave the EU. | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Westminster. | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
Within the last hour, West Mercia Police have issued | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
It's understood that the nine-week old boy was taken from his home | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
in the Arleston area of Telford this afternoon. | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
It's thought that he may be in the company of a white woman | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
She is believed to be approximately 5ft 5 inches tall. | :12:12. | :12:22. | |
Emergency teams searching the site of the collapsed Didcot power | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
station say it's "highly unlikely" three missing people | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
One person died and five people are in hospital after part | :12:27. | :12:43. | |
of the derelict building in South Oxfordshire | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
Our correspondent, Duncan Kennedy, is at Didcot now. | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
One name has been named by friends on Facebook as being part of this | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
accident. Although the Fire Service not yet confirming whether that is | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
the case. They say they are speaking to the families of all thes ming | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
workers as their search operation continues. | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
and the search operation facing them. | :13:08. | :13:16. | |
Here, just some of the 100-strong rescue team | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
A few clambered onto the edges of the dangerous pile of wreckage | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
to look for the three missing workers. | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
But it's now been more than a day | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
haven't picked up any signs of life. | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
However, regardless of that information, our conduct | :13:33. | :13:46. | |
and our professionalism iis the same and we will continue to work | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
through that building slowly, with the absolute intention | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
of locating the loved ones | :13:52. | :13:52. | |
This was the moment the power station collapsed, | :13:53. | :14:06. | |
and when the 44-year-old structure caved in on itself. | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
It's only when you get close that you get a sense of the destruction | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
that's gone on at this power station. | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
You also get a sense of the scale of the fire and rescue operation | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
Some of these vehicles have been arriving | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
this afternoon from as far afield as Merseyside and Hampshire. | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
Even the army has been brought in with one of its robots | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
to scour the debris with specialised cameras. | :14:30. | :14:40. | |
The weight of the power station's springs would have meant any | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
collapse would be unstoppable. They are about two foot wide and about | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
six foot high. There's hundreds of them on each unit. It suspends the | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
whole boiler. You are talking of thousands and thousands of tonnes. | :14:59. | :15:06. | |
Coleman Company, the Birmingham-based firm | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
behind the demolition, said it was trying | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
and called on relatives of missing workers to get in touch. | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
The search operation is not over, but it is now moving | :15:14. | :15:21. | |
into a different and, for the families involved, | :15:22. | :15:23. | |
Three brothers of Pakistani heritage are found guilty of the sexual | :15:24. | :15:35. | |

A housing estate in West Lothian is flooded by a burst water main. | :15:54. | :16:06. | |
There seems to be no stopping presidential hopeful, | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
Donald Trump, after his third victory in a row in the race | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
to become the Republican Party's candidate. | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
All eyes are now on what's known as Super Tuesday, | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
when a dozen states will vote for their choice of candidate. | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
As James Cook reports from Las Vegas, the property tycoon | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
turned politician's victory speech was vintage Trump. | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
Not so long ago, his presidential bid was dismissed as a curiosity. | :16:31. | :16:39. | |
Now, the businessman is the Republican frontrunner, | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
With the smartest people, with the most loyal people. | :16:42. | :16:58. | |
You know what I'm really happy about, because I've been saying it | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
for a long time, 46% with the Hispanics. | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
That was a blow for his Hispanic rivals, including Ted Cruz, | :17:05. | :17:19. | |
The Texas Senator's own state votes next week, on Super Tuesday, | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
He says that will be the most important moment of the campaign. | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
The only campaign that has beaten Donald Trump, | :17:28. | :17:29. | |
and the only campaign that can beat Donald Trump, | :17:30. | :17:31. | |
As long as the anti-Trump vote is split between Ted Cruz | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
and his rivals, the more the property tycoon reaps | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
the rewards, which is why senior figures in the Republican Party | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
are now beginning to panic at the thought of an outsider taking | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
And so, they are rallying around Senator Marco Rubio, | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
from Florida, who is now urging other candidates to stand aside. | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
65%, 70% of the Republican Party does not want Donald Trump | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
The problem is, they're divided up among four people now. | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
They just don't like the fact that a non-establishment candidate might | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
Mr Trump is energising voters angry with the political system. | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
There's a long way to go, but he's beginning to look unstoppable. | :18:17. | :18:25. | |

of withholding information. She was found guilty of failing | :20:06. | :20:09. | |

Prime Minister's Questions today with the party leaders arguing over | :21:41. | :21:50. | |
exactly how many people die after being admitted | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
to hospital at weekends. The heated exchanges | :21:55. | :22:03. | |
between David Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn ended | :22:04. | :22:05. | |
with a personal jibe when a Labour MP called on Mr Cameron | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
to "ask his mother", who has signed a petition | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
about local Government cuts. Oh, I think I know | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
what my mother would say. I think she'd look across | :22:14. | :22:17. | |

do up your tie and sing the national It's the motoring brand | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
made famous by the high-octane driving | :22:23. | :22:31. | |
of the world's most famous agent. Now a touch of the James Bond style | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
will be coming to South Wales after Aston Martin decided | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
to build its latest model there. As Hywel Griffith reports, | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
South Wales beat off competition Coming soon for the super wealthy, a | :22:40. | :22:49. | |
souped up racer that thinks it's a family car. The Aston Martin DBX | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
will be made to order in Wales and sold mostly abroad, with a starting | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
price of ?150,000. Just as British handbags and fashion sell the world | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
and image, so, according to the Aston Martin Chief Executive, could | :23:06. | :23:15. | |
this car. In the luxury business, it is about what the brand stands for. | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
Perhaps you would think about our James Bond heritage. Making drivers | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
feel a little like 007 is a big part of the proposition, although the new | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
Aston Martin SUV's target customer, I'm told, will be an imaginary | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
female driver called Charlotte. The idea is that this is the type of car | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
James Bond would use on the school run. The marketing blurb talks about | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
being practical and family friendly. But it is a growing global market. | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
Most of these cars would not be driven on British roads. Instead, | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
you would see them here, on the streets of Beijing. The Chinese | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
economy may be slowing down, but the appetite for luxury here is still | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
growing. TRANSLATION: I have heard of Aston Martin. It's a British | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
brand. It's very beautiful, looks great. TRANSLATION: Nice logo, and | :24:05. | :24:12. | |
looks very modern. There is great pride of work and craftsmanship | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
inside these walls, where nobody will admit that any other car is | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
made in any other country to touch theirs. The appetite to take on the | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
world has always been part of Aston Martin, but for decades, it | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
struggled to make a profit. The new business plan means a new factory in | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
their South Wales aircraft hangar were chosen above Aston's existing | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
factory in Warwickshire. The DBX will be up against others, like | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
Bentley's new SUV, and there is even more competition coming. Rolls-Royce | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
will be launching an SUV in the next few years. Those brands you would | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
not normally associate with an SUV, they are looking at potentially 20 | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
million SUV sales by 2020 and thinking they will have a slice of | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
that. Today's Beale will bring 750 new jobs. The Welsh government | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
refuses to say how much public money to spending for the privilege. But | :25:01. | :25:04. | |

You will be stripping the windscreen of your Aston Martin in the morning. | :25:12. | :25:23. | |
It is going to be cold again tonight. We have some cracking | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
pictures from our weather watchers this morning of the frosty scenes as | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
the sun rose. But under those sunny skies, it was a pleasant day for | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
most. Now, under the clear skies, tumbling temperatures for most. It | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
could be icy out there. Maybe a few folk patches. Temperatures even in | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
towns and cities are getting to freezing. In rural areas, well | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
below. Maybe negative double figures in Scotland. Could be icy with a few | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
for patches tomorrow morning. Then we are left with a few showers | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
across Western and north Wales and the East of Northern Ireland. Quite | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
a few showers through the day across Shetland, blown in by a strong wind. | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
But for much of mainland Scotland, it is dry and sunny. After a frosty | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
start, quite pleasant. Glasgow and Belfast have similar conditions, | :26:17. | :26:24. | |
northern England as well. Generally a dry and bright winter's day. | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
Plenty of sunshine and light winds. It is the south-west where we look | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
for Friday's complication. This weather front is trying to push in. | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
Some uncertainty about how far it gets, but it could bring cloud and | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
wet weather to the far south-east. For most places, it is a dry and | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
find a after a frosty start. Quite a bit of sunshine. The winds will be | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
picking up through the course of Friday. Starting to feel a little | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
colder, and that stronger wind develops further into the weekend, | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
particularly across England and Wales. So it stays cold. A bitter | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
wind for some of us, but not much in the way of rain. | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me, | :27:08. | :27:08. |
