The headlines this Thursday lunchtime: | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
The identity of a man whose death on Saddleworth Moor | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
sparked a world-wide appeal is finally revealed. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
Cumbria Police is told to improve its protection | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
And the curious incident of Stockport's Olivier-winning | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
playwright inspiring pupils at his former school. | :00:33. | :00:40. | |
It's a mystery that sparked an international inquiry - | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
the discovery of an unidentified man's body on Saddleworth Moor. | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
Police have spent more than a year trying to find out who he was and, | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
after a painstaking investigation, they now believe they know. | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
The BBC's Jon Manel has been following the story. | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Yes, this all goes back to the 12th of December, 2015 - | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
I was totting it up before - 411 days ago, when Greater | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
Manchester Police received what seemed like a routine call. | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
A body had been discovered on Saddleworth Moor near beauty spot | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
A cyclist had found the body that morning in awful | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
But they had no idea who this person was. | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
It was a man, he was believed to be between about 65 and 75, | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
but all that was found on him were train tickets, | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
a medicine container, with some traces of poison in it, | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
There has been then an extraordinary bit of detective work | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
For a start, there was Urdu writing on that medicine container | :01:47. | :02:03. | |
but when they carried out the postmortem, they found a metal | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
plate in his left leg, and that metal plate can only be | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
fitted, was only used, in hospitals in Pakistan. | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
He had obviously had a serious accident at some stage. | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
So they knew about that connection and what we found out today, | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
there was a Coroner's hearing near Rochdale, and we were told | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
that the police studied all the flight manifests | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
from Pakistan to London in the few days before he was discovered, | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
looking for that profile, a white man between 65 and 75, | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
And today at the Coroner's Court, they finally revealed | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
Yes, so the name was searched on the passport agency database. | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
They saw the photograph, it seemed to be a match, | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
they then looked at CCTV images from Lahore, where he had | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
It looks like it was him and they managed to contact this | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
man's family, there was a DNA match with a relative, and so now finally | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
He was 67 years old and after all of this time his family has now been | :03:00. | :03:09. | |
You consume more about the story on the Radio 4 website. -- you can hear | :03:10. | :03:25. | |
more about the story. Cumbria Police has been told it | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
needs to improve how it protects Inspectors found a lack | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
of understanding of the extent of child sexual exploitation | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
and an inconsistent response It's the same police force that was | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
criticised for its handling of the death of Poppy Worthington. | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
According to the MP, there is some cause for concern. | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
It's good that the commitment to protecting children is fully | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
The examples of feel you are just not good enough. The Chief Constable | :03:53. | :04:06. | |
and Commissioner and everybody else now have to take what is being said | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
with the utmost seriousness and turn it around as possible. Cumbria | :04:11. | :04:21. | |
police said that it will continue to review its dealings with children. | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
We are joined by... Can you understand by people in, we are that | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
they are shocked that the force, criticised for the way that it dealt | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
with the death of Poppy Worthington, is still being criticised over its | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
child protection? The first thing to do is to divorce the two issues. | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
They are not related. Both involve child protection issues. Well, they | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
don't. The TRANSLATION: Criticism was about the investigation after | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
the tragic death of Poppy Worthington. | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
This report looks into the wider sphere of child protection. It's | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
important we get it right. This report also criticises the force by | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
the way that they deal with child protection issues. Yes, they go on | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
to talk about the quirky nation after the immediate protection of | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
children. -- about the coordination. I absolutely accept the criticism as | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
does the force. What is being done to change things? It is being | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
criticised for not grasping the criticised for not grasping the | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
seriousness of this? It would be unreasonable to suggest that they do | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
not grasp the seriousness. It's important to remember that this | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
report was written in July of last year, several of the recommendations | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
have ready been completed. We have put additional resource into child | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
protection and safeguarding. Additional training into domestic | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
abuse and child sexual exploitation has of ready gone into force. | :06:05. | :06:13. | |
Already we have increased by some amount. Ultimately the IT support | :06:14. | :06:22. | |
has already been remedied. Many of these things have already been put | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
in place. That is what to say that there are still some things to be | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
done. Thank you for your time. A playwright from Stockport says | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
giving children a proper education in the arts will make Britain | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
a better country. Simon Stephens wrote the stage | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
version of The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-time, | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
currently showing at Last night current students from his | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
old school went to see the play. Our reporter Andy Gill | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
was there too. I'm going to find out | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
who really killed the dog. The play is based | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
on Mark Haddon's book. It's the story of Christopher, | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
a teenager with behavoiral difficulties who sets out | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
to discover who killed a neighbour's dog and who uncovers truths | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
about his own family on the way. Simon Stephens has won awards | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
for his stage script. He went to Stockport School, | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
or Mile End as its known. He wants pupils from state schools | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
to believe they're as entitled to a career in the arts | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
as anyone else. I think an education in the arts | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
dignifies and empowers everybody with a spirit | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
of empathy and communication. I think that makes | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
the whole country better. It's not just about winning artists, | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
it's about making this country Last night 200 current | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
Stockport School pupils went He's already been back | :07:37. | :07:45. | |
to his old school to fire The talk was inspiring | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
because he came from, like, Stockport, it wasn't in London or LA | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
or America, it's Stockport, you know, it's so humble | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
and close to heart. There's no limits to how small | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
or big you can be in the theatre. I've always kind of known I wanted | :08:00. | :08:08. | |
to do something like that but people are always, | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
like, suggesting different things and after the talk I just felt | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
like it was definitely a good option and I should follow | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
what I want to do. The Curious Incident Of The Dog | :08:17. | :08:18. | |

West Today, Salford. Now the weather forecast | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
with Charlie Slater. Plenty of cloud around | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
over the next few hours. Where that cloud is thick enough, | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
you can get the odd spot of drizzle. It's cold enough for that drizzle | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
to fall as sleet and maybe Factor in the wind-chill, though, | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
and you're talking more like -4, -5, That's what it actually feels | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
like rather than its actual But cold no matter what way | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
you try to look at it. Overnight tonight, into the early | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
hours of Friday morning, temperatures will fall away down | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
to around -1, maybe even -2. Friday daytime is generally dull | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
and cloudy, maybe a bit overcast, potential for a little bit | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
of drizzle here and there, but all in all a slightly | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
less cold day tomorrow Thankfully a little bit milder once | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
