The headlines tonight: Jaildd: a father and son who made a million | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
pounds a year from running a brothel in Birmingham. | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
It was claimed in court that prostitutes at the brothel | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
As you said earlier, they saw | :00:25. | :00:34. | |
themselves running a public service | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
that is naive and short-sighted. | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
The twelve GP practices and urgent care centres in the West Midlands | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
owned by a company based in the Bahamas. | :00:44. | :00:45. | |

watching his 39th game of football in seven days, we will find out why | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
later. We have had peaks and troughs this week but high pressure will | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
take charge. Settled weather but chilly, I will have the fordcast | :01:14. | :01:14. | |
later. A father and son who a ran | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
a multi-million pound brothel in Birmingham have been | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
jailed for 27 months. Achilleos and Stephanos Neophytou | :01:27. | :01:37. | |
ran the Libra Club in The court heard how they employed | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
prostitutes who were seeing Sentencing them today, | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
the judge said the pair ran the Libra Club for five years | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
like a "conveyor belt Take a look inside the Libr` Club - | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
at what police found The glitterball - the dimmed | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
lights of a dance floor. There's a VIP area with hot tubs | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
and Jacuzzis and no business is complete without a price list | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
and there's plenty of those The investigation was long-term We | :02:02. | :02:16. | |
took that decision to make sure the club was closed and we safeguarded | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
the girls reworked -- who worked there. 20 girls who worked ` year, | :02:21. | :02:31. | |
1000 clients who came you e`ch week. ?7.7 million over five years. The | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
turnover this business made. He is the boss. | :02:39. | :02:39. | |
The Libra Club was owned by 66 year old Achilleos Neophytou - | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
who left the fish and chip shop trade to open massage parlotrs. | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
His son Stephanos ran day-to-day operations - | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
After pleading guilty to running a brothel last month, | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
Neophytu senior told Midlands Today he'd merely been a 'public servant'. | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
Where is the money? That is a good question. Greece was running out of | :02:58. | :03:07. | |
money and we lend them monex. Greece was running out of money | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
and we lend them money. The authorities aren't | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
convinced his so-called bushness has We will seek to recover that money | :03:12. | :03:22. | |
under the proceeds of crime act and they failed to pay it back ht will | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
mean their are increased. they failed to pay it back ht | :03:26. | :03:26. | |
will mean their are increasdd. There's a more sinister | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
side to the Libra Club. CCTV images show the club | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
being targeted by a gang. A man's seen firing a gun | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
into the brothel - on another occasion they trx | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
to torch the building. The father and son received 27 | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
months jail terms. Community orders were handed down | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
to receptionist Ohgun Olufunloa brothel Madams Anita O Donndll | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
and Maralyjn Egan - she was found with ?28,000 `nd 00 | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
Viagra tablets in her home. Had anything to say | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
about your part in this club? Martin Tierney was a photographer | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
at the Libra Club - and he wasn't shy of our caleras | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
until the judge gave him a ten month jail sentence, | :04:05. | :04:07. | |

Today, Birmingham. And Ben Godfrey is outside | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
the former Libra club in Birmingham this evening, | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
surprisingly this conviction itself, it's not been as widely well | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
received as you might expect? The court heard the prostitttes who | :04:17. | :04:33. | |
worked here were treated well and were well paid. That has catsed the | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
English collective to see it was reduced for this case to be taken to | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
court because sex workers s`fer working in a premises than they are | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
on the street. In recent months there's bedn | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
a growing call for the decriminalisation | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
of consensual sex work. In May, Amnesty Internation`l | :04:57. | :04:57. | |
published its policy on protecting sex workers from human rights | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
violations and abuses, saying there's evidence these laws | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
often make sex workers less safe. In July, The Home Affairs Committee | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
published a report saying soliciting by sex workers, | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
and sex workers sharing prelises, There is a major argument to be held | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
here. West Midlands Police hs the ultimately public safety was at risk | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
so they took the right course of action. Thank you. | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
The BBC has learnt that 12 NHS GP practices and urgent care cdntres | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
across the West Midlands are ultimately owned by a company | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
Malling Health exchanged bank loans with an interest rate of 4% | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
for a loan at 20% interest with the owner of Bahamas b`sed | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
The company says this arrangement is more flexibld, | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
but experts claim it's a wax of diverting money | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
Our health correspondent, Michele Paduano reports. | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
What do this GP surgery in Coventry, a hospital based urgent | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
care centre in Dudley, a GP practice in West Bromwhch | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
and a walk in centre inside the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
Well, they are among 50 NHS outlets ultimately owned | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
by a company, Butterfly Ventures, based in the tax haven | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
Would it surprise you to know it is owned by a company based in the | :06:03. | :06:15. | |
Bahamas? Yes, it would. I al surprised it is not national health, | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
I did not realise things got privatised. I do not say wh`t that | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
has to do with medical practices. I do not say what that has to do | :06:26. | :06:26. | |
with medical practices. bought Malling Health | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
for ?6.2m last year Peter Gillard began researching | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
the complex web of companies that led to Butterfly ventures | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
after it took over surgeries Butterfly ventures, there is proper | :06:40. | :06:52. | |
-- practically no public information because they are protected by the | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
Bahamas secrecy laws. All I know is they are headquartered in an office | :06:58. | :07:05. | |
in a building which has 8200 other companies registered at the same | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
?4m with two high street Banks, Lloyds and Santander. | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
Interest on these was paid at less than %. | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
These were paid off and loans arranged with an interest r`te | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
of 20% with David Hudaly and Butterfly Ventures therdby | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
moving money out of the UK tax area and into a tax haven. | :07:21. | :07:30. | |
Both very high rates of intdrest which is a way of diverging the | :07:31. | :07:38. | |
money from the companies whhch are running their practices to the | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
companies in the Bahamas so they don't have to pay tax. | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
legal and acceptable way of structuring a company, | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
When I spoke to Professor Rob Bryer at Warwick Business School, | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
he said it was a moral issud for politicians to consider. | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
So we took our information to a politician on the Health Select | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
She says she'll raise it with Government. | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
I will certainly be taking this matter up with the Health Sdcretary. | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
I would like to know why thhs private company has taken on a loan | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
to deliver its programme for its practices and patients. | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
It therefore secured alternative funding. | :08:26. | :08:26. | |
The payments currently paid on this funding are materially | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
lower than repayments being paid on the bank debt. | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
IMH is appreciative of the continued support and flexibility | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
At a time when the NHS generally is struggling financially, | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
that interest WILL keep accruing and will have to be paid off | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
Relatives of some of those killed in the Birmingham pub bombings 2 | :08:41. | :08:50. | |
years ago have been meeting MPs in London today. | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
It's part of their campaign to get financial support to pay for lawyers | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
21 people died when bombs exploded at two city centre pubs in 0974 | :08:56. | :09:05. | |
The families are asking for the same granting of legal aid as applied | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
They say it's not fair when West Midlands Police | :09:09. | :09:17. | |
and others who'll be giving evidence at the inquests | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
The pre-inquest hearing is due to take place next month. | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
The MP Andy Burnham backed the Hillsborough victims | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
through their campaign for justice, and now wants the government to back | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
a "Hillsborough Law", which would ensure legal funding | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
for bereaved families at inpuests where police are involved. | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
You met with the Pub Bombing families this afternoon - | :09:36. | :09:49. | |
It was harrowing to here wh`t they have been through this -- in these | :09:50. | :09:59. | |
years, through treatment at the hands of West Midlands Police. In my | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
experience, working with people who've suffered injustice, this | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
stands out for me as a really disgraceful state of affairs. They | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
deserve a lot better than what they received back here we are, on the | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
Wii of the start of this resumed inquest and they still do not know | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
where we stand with regards to legal representation. The question should | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
be about getting to the truth and we will not get there if the f`milies | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
are going to court without legal representation... It is not in a | :10:32. | :10:42. | |
good position at the moment. I met her families with legal | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
representation this afternoon. We want to throw everything behind them | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
at this crucial phase. It is a simple request to the Prime | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
Minister, she should ensure the Birmingham families have proper | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
legal representation going hnto this new inquest. Can you understand an | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
argument which asks how far should we go back in time? I do understand | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
that but from my experience working with victims of injustice, they will | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
tell you that time does not heal. Injustice does not go away `nd in | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
many ways it gets worse. All families are entitled to thd truth | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
about what happened to their loved ones. The Birmingham familids have | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
not had that and any family would keep fighting to understand what | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
happened. They deserve the truth, it is a simple request and one which I | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
will take to the Prime Minister You cannot leave these families in the | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
lurch with one month before the new inquest. The country needs to know | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
the truth about what happendd with respect to the bombing and the | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
aftermath. That is the appe`l I will now meet. Thank you very much. Thank | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
you. -- I will now make. Detectives have named a man | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
from Brierley Hill who died after being stabbed in the stomach | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
at the weekend. 24-year-old Mansoor Mahmood | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
was found outside the Dixi Chicken diner in the High Street | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
on Saturday afternoon. Despite attempts to save hil, | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
he later died in hospital. Police have launched a murddr | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
investigation, appealing for anyone with any | :12:17. | :12:17. | |
information to contact them. They suspect it was | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
a targeted attack. The owners of Donnington's | :12:20. | :12:21. | |
railfreight terminal say it's too early to say if massive job cuts | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
across the company will havd DB Cargo is shedding a quarter | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
of its workforce - 900 jobs will go. The company says it's stoppdd | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
running three quarters of its coal trains as coal-fired power stations | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
such as Ironbridge close. Two towns in the region havd been | :12:34. | :12:37. | |

in the large market town category. The award's backed by the government | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
and it helps to highlight the work to keep the British | :12:49. | :12:51. | |

fund of ?100,000. A Coventry nightclub claims | :12:54. | :13:01. | |
it's received a letter from Donald Trump's lawyers - | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
threatening legal action ovdr a Halloween poster featuring | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
the presidential nominee disguised The letter, which appears to have | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
been sent by Mr Trump's senhor legal council Alan Garten., says | :13:10. | :13:19. | |
the Republican candidate is taking Elizabeth Glinka joins me now | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
in the studio, so what's Well it sounds totally | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
improbable doesn't it? But I have been trying to gdt | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
to the bottom of this all d`y. And these are the images | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
that started it all off. Posters created by the Kasb`h | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
nightclub in Coventry styling the Republican presidential nominee | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
Donald Trump - as the Joker Then this morning the night club | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
posted this complaint letter on its Twitter account - | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
on what appears to be Trump It accuses the club of Traddmark | :13:47. | :13:48. | |
infringement, threatening ldgal action and says that Mr Trulp | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
is taking the matter Well it wouldn't be the first time | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
during this presidential calpaign that Mr Trump has either | :13:57. | :14:05. | |
given or taken offence. to Alec Baldwin's impersonation | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
of him on Saturday Night Live, We contacted the Nightclub to see | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
if it could be some sort of elaborate hoax but they seemed | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
to think it was real and sent us They say it was a shock to receive | :14:21. | :14:39. | |
the letter from Mr Trump's present -- representative. | :14:40. | :14:40. | |
So I decided to try and contact the man whose name was on the letter | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
- Mr Alan Garten who is Mr Trump's Executive Vice President | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
I spoke to his PA in New York and left him a voice mail, | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
to me with a quote from Mr Garten - in which he says "It's a ho`x. | :14:53. | :15:04. | |
We are still no closer to knowing exactly who sent the letter. | :15:05. | :15:18. | |
Two cyclists have been praised for helping to rescue three elderly | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
passengers who'd become trapped in their car as flood waters rose | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
The pensioners had driven through a notorious | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
ford in Wolverhampton when their car became stuck. | :15:29. | :15:30. | |
These pictures were taken jtst after the three people, | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
two women and a man, were rescued from a Rover 74 car, | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
which had become stranded in Trescott ford near Wolverhampton. | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
The man had to be pulled through the sun roof, | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
Passing cyclist Steve Trice was amongst a group of passdrs | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
We did not have time to think about it, you just get in and get people | :15:47. | :16:02. | |
out. Get on with it and get it done. The teamwork was very natur`l. The | :16:03. | :16:11. | |
Westminster -- Midlands Fird service specialist water team were deployed | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
to that -- to the site. Their expertise takes them | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
all over the country for major rescue operations | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
including seasonal floods. Today they showed how they get | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
people out of deep water, and said Ford rescues | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
are on the increase. Forwards are becoming a problem Our | :16:24. | :16:32. | |
main advice would be to makd sure the water is no more than ankle deep | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
and approach at walking spedd, if you have to pass through do it | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
carefully and make sure you allow one car to pass through before you | :16:43. | :16:43. | |
one car to pass through before you fall. | :16:44. | :16:45. | |
Back at Tresscott ford, and with all of the cars | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
occupants safe and sound, it was revealed there had bden a few | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
The driver and the gentlemen were starting to say the funny shde such | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
as it was by the end. He probably would not have expected to climb out | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
of the window at his age. I think generally they were OK. | :17:05. | :17:05. | |
other vehicles stranded here since the start | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
of the year so the advice is if in doubt, stay out. | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
Kevin Reide, BBC Midlands Today, Wolverhampton. | :17:13. | :17:21. | |
Some news just in, emergencx services have closed the ro`d in | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
Coventry after reports of a collision between a truck and a | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
child. It happened just aftdr 4pm in the Henley Road, we will brhng you | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
more details in our late bulletin. It's a disturbing trend, | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
but the number of women fleding abusive relationships | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
is on the increase year by xear Here in the West Midlands, | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
almost 2,000 women were refdrred to refuges in 2013/14 and staff | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
say one of the biggest impacts is on the children, | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
often having to flee Laura May McMullan has been finding | :17:51. | :17:52. | |
out how one charity is helphng I suppose I fell in love | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
with the wrong man. I got to a stage where I wanted | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
to be dead because I couldn't take the mental torture in my | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
head anymore. Louise wants | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
to protect her identity. She's a mother of four young | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
children and has travelled hundreds of miles to seek refuge | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
in the West Midlands. She was escaping a controllhng | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
and emotionally abusive from Lichfield, providing b`sic | :18:23. | :18:24. | |
essentials and toys for those We are only touching the surface | :18:25. | :18:38. | |
but I know from feedback, a every bag we deliver makes | :18:39. | :18:42. | |

Now I do like my football - but at tonight's match | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
between Shrewsbury Town and Sheffield United, | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
there'll be one man who can only be described as footy superfan. | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
Ed Wood is in the process of attending a match at every | :20:25. | :20:26. | |
English Premier and Football League ground within 200 days. | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
Tonight it'll be his 39th match in just 69 days. | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
Ian Winter caught up with him earlier. | :20:32. | :20:44. | |
Oldham, Bristol Rovers, Chelsea Edward is a man on a mission. To | :20:45. | :21:01. | |
watch a game at all 93 from grounds in England and we are in thd | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
shortest possible time. You have to be a little bit mad to do this | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
challenge? I don't think so. So many people have said they would like to | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
do it. He was inspired to t`ke up the challenge by Mike Jones. Back in | :21:16. | :21:22. | |

days later they earned their place in the Guinness book of records Now | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
Ed is trying to achieve the same feat in just 200 days. Did xou ever | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
think your record would be broken? Yes, we tried to make it difficult | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
with the 93rd game being Berwick Rangers and using only leagte games | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
but records are made to be broken. There were occasions when wd were on | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
the point of exhaustion almost but we kept going. We had a few moments | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
when we had to rearrange thhngs that the last minute but we didn't give | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
up. As that wasn't challenghng enough watching 93 games in 200 | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
days, it's friends sent thel more tasks, like watching a game in a | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
kilt or using an all fashion football rattle. I have not seen a | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
changing room like this set up the game. Set -- seeing a changhng room | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
is special. You did not know about this last night? Now, I did not Ed | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
has taken four months off work to raise money for prostate cancer | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
This will be his 39th game hn 6 days. Let us hope it is a good one. | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
There's full fixture list in the Championship, | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
and League One tonight, and you can follow how your team | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
gets on with your local BBC radio station. | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
It's exactly one month to go until Children in Need. | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
And the BBC WM presenter Richie Anderson will be | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
raising money by riding 250 miles on a tandem. | :23:11. | :23:12. | |
His route will include all of our local radio stathons | :23:13. | :23:14. | |
So today we sent him for sole gruelling training at | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
the National Football Centrd at St George's Park near Burton | :23:18. | :23:19. | |
WM presenter Richie Anderson is about to ride 250 miles | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
So today he was put through his paces by an expdrt. | :23:28. | :23:37. | |
This tells me that at the top and bottom of | :23:38. | :23:39. | |
pedal strength, you are losing momentum. | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
Keep your hips nice and high, straighten the left leg. | :23:42. | :23:54. | |
He's not a very efficient rider compared to the | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
That is quite spread on pedal efficiency. | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
He is producing around 200 which is amateur level but `t | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
the end of 250 miles he will have increased. | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
There is no substitute for getting on the bike. | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
His first cautious pedal strokes were taken with Pudsey. | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
Then he got some expert help from Blind Dave Healy, a | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
veteran of charity tandem bike rides. | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
With cycling you seem to cycle into fitness. | :24:31. | :24:31. | |
That may sound silly but the further you go, the | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
You will get tired obviouslx but fitness seems to get better | :24:35. | :24:41. | |
Richie will be going here, he will be going there. | :24:42. | :24:50. | |
I was very wobbly the first time on a tandem. | :24:51. | :24:52. | |
It is so difficult, it is | :24:53. | :24:53. | |
I am dreading getting this up the hill. | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
We have a month to go now, it will be hard work, | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
Hopefully on Friday 18th of November, | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
my face, a hug from Pudsey `nd we'll raise loads of money. | :25:07. | :25:15. | |
I will be joining Richie for this challenge so it is in my | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
And this year Pudsey is askhng you to 'Do your thing' | :25:19. | :25:36. | |
for Children in Need, so if you want to get involved, | :25:37. | :25:38. | |
log on to bbc.co.uk/Pudsey for more information. | :25:39. | :25:40. | |
