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

owned by a company based in the Bahamas.

take charge. Settled weather but chilly, I will have the fordcast

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

ran the Libra Club in The court heard how they employed

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.

side to the Libra Club. CCTV images show the club

being targeted by a gang. A man's seen firing a gun

:03:32.:03:34.

into the brothel - on another occasion they trx

the former Libra club in Birmingham this evening,

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

it's received a letter from Donald Trump's lawyers -

threatening legal action ovdr a Halloween poster featuring

improbable doesn't it? But I have been trying to gdt

to the bottom of this all d`y. And these are the images

that started it all off. Posters created by the Kasb`h

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

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

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.

with the 93rd game being Berwick Rangers and using only leagte games

but records are made to be broken. There were occasions when wd were on

:22:15.:22:22.

days, it's friends sent thel more tasks, like watching a game in a

: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,
