:00:13. > :00:16.a third of crimes could be going unrecorded by two of the region's

:00:17. > :00:19.police forces. Victims need to have proper services and it's worrying if

:00:20. > :00:23.there are victims that they're not feting the service and help that

:00:24. > :00:26.they need. `` not getting the service and help that they need.

:00:27. > :00:29.Among those crimes that weren't recorded were two alleged rapes in

:00:30. > :00:32.Greater Manchester. Also tonight: Ten years in jail for the Nazi

:00:33. > :00:35.fantasist who planned to blow up mosques on Merseyside. Claims the

:00:36. > :00:42.Government's new benefits scheme isn't working as it's blamed for

:00:43. > :00:46.causing a big rise in rent arrears. It's hard to see at the moment this

:00:47. > :00:49.scheme could be extended on a national scale.

:00:50. > :02:30.Liverpool's new Archbishop meets his flock ` on

:02:31. > :02:32.they need. This is the second HMIC report to

:02:33. > :02:35.criticise Greater Manchester Police. In March the force was found to be

:02:36. > :02:38.failing victims of domestic violence. Last year Chief Constable

:02:39. > :02:42.Sir Peter Fahy admitted officers only pursue about 40% of crimes

:02:43. > :02:45.because they have to prioritise. But the HMIC says under recording crime

:02:46. > :02:53.means forces don't know what resources they need. It may be that

:02:54. > :02:58.detection rates are therefore artificially high and police chiefs

:02:59. > :03:03.do not get the necessary information they need in order to deploy their

:03:04. > :03:10.assets, their resources, in the most efficient and effective way.

:03:11. > :03:13.Cheshire Police told us a recent audit found its reporting mechanisms

:03:14. > :03:15.were effective and it's working to understand today's findings. We'll

:03:16. > :03:20.be hearing from Greater Manchester Police in a moment. Overall,

:03:21. > :03:23.nationally crime is falling. But today's report raises fears those

:03:24. > :03:34.crime levels are actually higher if our police forces are failing to

:03:35. > :03:36.record crime properly. Previously, Greater Manchester

:03:37. > :03:39.Police have revealed they only investigate 40% of recorded crime.

:03:40. > :03:42.If they're not recording a third of them at all, it suggests that, in

:03:43. > :03:46.reality, they're only actually looking into about a quarter of all

:03:47. > :03:49.crimes committed. A point I put earlier to the Deputy Chief

:03:50. > :03:54.Constable, Ian Hopkins. Well, actually the figures in terms

:03:55. > :03:59.of what we investigate, I would say we investigate all crime, if people

:04:00. > :04:03.ring us to report a crime or turn up... You don't write it down in a

:04:04. > :04:08.third of cases, you don't record it if someone reports a crime? Basic

:04:09. > :04:11.level of investigation, of the 123 the auditors failed we have 24 of

:04:12. > :04:16.those where the victim has said they believe they've been the victim of a

:04:17. > :04:19.crime and despite constant attempts from us to recontact them they've

:04:20. > :04:24.failed to engage with us. We have not recorded a crime. If you follow

:04:25. > :04:26.the crime recording standard to the letter it's saying we should have

:04:27. > :04:32.recorded a crime. I feel citizens should have a duty to engage and

:04:33. > :04:37.help us investigate crime. The other point I would absolutely clearly

:04:38. > :04:41.make is that it refers to ap number of rapes not recorded. For Greater

:04:42. > :04:51.Manchester Police's part of the report that is two offences. Hang

:04:52. > :04:56.on, sorry to interrupt. I have to pick up on that. Are you saying

:04:57. > :05:00.there are two rapes that were reported to Greater Manchester

:05:01. > :05:03.Police which weren't recorded? The audit says that they weren't

:05:04. > :05:07.recorded as rapes. I have looked at them personally and they have been

:05:08. > :05:11.thoroughly investigated. They were both complex issues. In one case at

:05:12. > :05:15.the end of it there was evidence to suggest that there was no rape. It

:05:16. > :05:19.has been investigated but the audit says we should have recorded a rape

:05:20. > :05:24.at the beginning. We accept that but there was an investigation. The

:05:25. > :05:29.second one was reported to us as a rape. When we spoken to the victim

:05:30. > :05:33.and conducted the investigation they've said they weren't raped.

:05:34. > :05:36.There is evidence to suggest there may have been an assault and we

:05:37. > :05:41.should have therefore recorded an assault. This is the second damming

:05:42. > :05:44.report from HMIC into Greater Manchester Police in the short space

:05:45. > :05:48.of time, it was domestic violence a few weeks ago. How can people have

:05:49. > :05:53.any confidence in the work that you are doing? Well, we regularly survey

:05:54. > :05:56.people across Greater Manchester, the public are still very satisfied

:05:57. > :06:00.with what we are doing and very supportive of local policing. Day

:06:01. > :06:12.in, day out police officers across Greater Manchester do tremendous

:06:13. > :06:15.jobs keeping people safe. Thank you. A self`styled Nazi who drew up plans

:06:16. > :06:18.to bomb mosques on Merseyside is beginning a 10`year jail sentence

:06:19. > :06:20.tonight. Ian Forman had experimented with explosives at his home in

:06:21. > :06:23.Birkenhead. He was found out when his workmates

:06:24. > :06:26.discovered he'd been using company computers to research chemicals

:06:27. > :06:30.needed for bomb making. Our chief reporter Dave Guest takes up the

:06:31. > :06:34.story. This is Ian Forman doing what he

:06:35. > :06:38.enjoyed most ` dressing up in Nazi paraphernalia. He was a man driven

:06:39. > :06:43.by bigotry and hate. He obviously had extremist views, really extreme

:06:44. > :06:48.right`wing views and was a concern in our society.

:06:49. > :06:54.This is Forman trying out some of his homemade explosives. Behind the

:06:55. > :06:57.curtains of the unassuming semi he shared with his elderly parents,

:06:58. > :07:00.Forman had been been perfecting his formula and drawing up a list of

:07:01. > :07:05.possible targets. They included this Islamic Centre in Wirral. And this

:07:06. > :07:08.mosque in Liverpool. When they were told what Forman had been planning,

:07:09. > :07:13.people here were left shocked and bewildered. We only have three or

:07:14. > :07:17.four Mosques in this area so we were in a shock why had someone try to

:07:18. > :07:21.target this kind of Mosque in this area? He was found out when

:07:22. > :07:24.workmates discovered he had used company computers to surf the web

:07:25. > :07:28.for information about chemicals and explosives. They told the police. We

:07:29. > :07:34.can't thank them enough for obviously reporting it and I would

:07:35. > :07:37.encourage anybody that witnesses any suspicious activity, please report

:07:38. > :07:41.it because I want to reassure them we will investigate anything sent

:07:42. > :07:47.through to us. When police searched his home Forman handed them a

:07:48. > :07:50.briefcase and said you better look at these, inside had what appeared

:07:51. > :07:53.to be a home`made explosive device. There were a number of pots

:07:54. > :07:58.containing powder. With the discover of that device the search was

:07:59. > :08:03.suspended and an Army explosives expert was called out. Forman was

:08:04. > :08:09.convicted of preparing for a terrorist act. We will never truly

:08:10. > :08:13.know his full intentions, he had already prepared devices. The judge

:08:14. > :08:23.described Forman as evil and today jailed him for ten years.

:08:24. > :08:26.The trial of a man accused of murdering his wife at a flat in

:08:27. > :08:32.Salford was halted this lunchtime after he lunged at and grabbed one

:08:33. > :08:35.of the court interpreters. Ahmed Al`Khatib claims the djinn, an

:08:36. > :08:38.apparition in Muslim beliefs, then commanded him to bury the body of

:08:39. > :08:46.25`year`old Rania Alayed. He and his brother Muhaned Al`Khatib both deny

:08:47. > :08:48.murder. Stepping Hill Hospital has admitted failing a patient in 13

:08:49. > :08:51.different ways, contributing to his death. The inquest of 47`year`old

:08:52. > :08:54.Gary Bradshaw from Stockport heard he was being treated for kidney

:08:55. > :08:58.stones, but staff overlooked important blood and urine tests and

:08:59. > :09:01.prescribed the wrong medication. An investigation's under way after a

:09:02. > :09:08.schoolboy was found hanged in a park in Salford. Police were called to

:09:09. > :09:11.woodland near Ellen Grove in Clifton on Monday evening. Police say

:09:12. > :09:18.there's no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.

:09:19. > :09:21.Labour and the UK Independence Party have officially launched their

:09:22. > :09:24.regional campaigns for the European elections. The north`west will elect

:09:25. > :09:32.eight Euro MPs, each representing the entire region. Voting is three

:09:33. > :09:35.weeks today. Universal credit was supposed to

:09:36. > :09:39.bring clarity to a confusing welfare state; to make sure work always

:09:40. > :09:43.paid; to make people stand on their own two feet. But a year after the

:09:44. > :09:46.scheme was launched right here in the north`west, we've learnt that

:09:47. > :09:51.92% of claimants in some parts of the region have fallen into rent

:09:52. > :09:54.arrears. As the Government this week announced it's ready to extend the

:09:55. > :10:01.scheme across the region, we ask if it is really ready to roll? Here's

:10:02. > :10:05.Roger to explain more. Universal Credit ` the scheme which

:10:06. > :10:12.combines six benefits into one. It was piloted in Oldham, Warrington,

:10:13. > :10:16.Tameside and Wigan. Two`thirds questioned here say it's a better

:10:17. > :10:20.incentive to work that Job Seekers Allowance. Right now just over 4,000

:10:21. > :10:24.people are on it in the region. 91% of the UK total. But that compares

:10:25. > :10:29.to the Government's original prediction of 184,000 by now. It's

:10:30. > :10:32.seriously behind schedule. But this week the Government announced that

:10:33. > :10:35.from June more jobcentres across the north`west will come online each

:10:36. > :10:43.week until the whole region is covered. Are we ready for it? Some

:10:44. > :10:46.say the fact that our main centres ` Liverpool and Manchester ` are not

:10:47. > :10:49.on this list indicates a lack of faith in the system. We'll ask the

:10:50. > :10:54.Minister responsible in just a minute. First this from Jayne

:10:55. > :10:59.McCubbin. Lee is a rarity, one of the first

:11:00. > :11:05.5,000 to trial Universal Credit in the UK. How's it worked for you? At

:11:06. > :11:08.first it had technical difficulties with e`mail, I wasn't able to sign

:11:09. > :11:12.in and get it right. I have been told to look for work and prove it.

:11:13. > :11:17.The system is getting tough, Lee's already been fined, sanctioned for

:11:18. > :11:21.missing an appointment. If sanctions are the stick in welfare reform,

:11:22. > :11:24.then the carrot is this, find work under Universal Credit and your

:11:25. > :11:29.benefits will be gradually removed as your hours increase. But there

:11:30. > :11:35.are expectations. We expect people to look for work for 35 hours a

:11:36. > :11:40.week. People are paid on a monthly basis. It's about self`reliance so

:11:41. > :11:44.housing benefit is paid direct to the claimant, not the landlord.

:11:45. > :11:48.Claimants have to learn to budget. But this housing association, the

:11:49. > :11:53.biggest in the pilot area of Warrington, says 92% of tenants have

:11:54. > :11:57.already fallen into arrears. We are just not seeing the money come from

:11:58. > :12:02.the tenant or from the DWP. It's hard to see at the moment that this

:12:03. > :12:05.scheme could be extended on a national scale. None of the councils

:12:06. > :12:09.in the pilot areas would speak to us on the record about how this scheme

:12:10. > :12:14.is going. Off the record, sources told us about delays in payments,

:12:15. > :12:21.delays in staff training, delays in the department passing on crucial

:12:22. > :12:26.information. Here the verdict is Universal Credit is helping people

:12:27. > :12:29.find work but managing budgets already hit by the cost of living

:12:30. > :12:35.and other welfare cuts, that will be the problem as the scheme rolls out.

:12:36. > :12:38.They need to have budgeting support further down the line, it's going to

:12:39. > :12:42.be essential. The Government's view is that people like Lee have to

:12:43. > :12:46.become self`reliant, they have to live up to their side of the deal.

:12:47. > :12:51.But there are concerns the Government isn't delivering its own

:12:52. > :12:55.promises. Earlier I spoke to Lord Freud, the

:12:56. > :12:58.Minister for Welfare Reform and asked him that if so many people

:12:59. > :13:05.were behind paying their rent, should the scheme be rolled out to

:13:06. > :13:10.other areas? What we have got is a support system working with local

:13:11. > :13:15.partnerships and other groups to make sure that people handle the

:13:16. > :13:23.transition. So we are making some very active arrangements to help

:13:24. > :13:27.people learn how to run their own lives and become independent. How

:13:28. > :13:33.would you explain that so many people have got themselves into

:13:34. > :13:39.bother here? Well, I am not sure if your figures for 92... %... That's

:13:40. > :13:44.come from a Housing Trust. I think it's a limited number of people

:13:45. > :13:50.currently we have 5,000 people have gone through Universal Credit.

:13:51. > :13:56.They're new claimants. A small proportion of those may be on

:13:57. > :14:00.housing. What we have learned is that there is an adjustment process

:14:01. > :14:08.but the bulk of people actually do manage to pay their rent and so on

:14:09. > :14:13.those projects, the average rent payment was running well into the

:14:14. > :14:20.90%. Do you have any hard statistics that more people are finding work?

:14:21. > :14:26.We have got statistics at a preliminary stage which shows that

:14:27. > :14:31.people are searching much harder. They are spending roughly twice as

:14:32. > :14:38.many hours looking for work as they were doing before under the old JSA

:14:39. > :14:43.system. You haven't got the statistics to show they're getting

:14:44. > :14:49.the jobs? We are very, very careful with our statistics. These are

:14:50. > :14:54.official statistics. We release them when we have them. So we have early

:14:55. > :14:58.signs that are promising and I look forward to being able to say that

:14:59. > :15:09.the outcome of people trying harder is that they succeed more.

:15:10. > :15:12.The Government's rejecting calls for the cervical smear test to be

:15:13. > :15:16.offered to women under the age of 25 ` following the death of a teenager

:15:17. > :15:19.from Wirral. 320,000 people signed an online petition calling for the

:15:20. > :15:27.move after 19`year`old Sophie Jones from Eastham died from cervical

:15:28. > :15:31.cancer. What we actually wanted was for GPs to sit up, take notice, not

:15:32. > :15:36.be blase about their jobs and take notice of younger people when they

:15:37. > :15:40.were going in with symptoms and then being referred to the right

:15:41. > :15:47.departments as quickly as possible. Still to come: We catch up with the

:15:48. > :15:52.Burnley Express. Jimmy Anderson tells us about steaming through 20

:15:53. > :15:56.wickets in just three matches. It's been enjoyable being back with

:15:57. > :15:59.the Lancashire lads and I am really happy I could contribute to this

:16:00. > :16:11.week. And we will find out why the Manx

:16:12. > :16:14.flag is flying high in Gambia. The new Archbishop of Liverpool says

:16:15. > :16:16.the north`west needs more manufacturing jobs to help people

:16:17. > :16:18.tackle deprivation. The Most Reverend Malcolm McMahon was

:16:19. > :16:22.speaking just before his installation as the city's 9th

:16:23. > :16:24.archbishop this afternoon. Archbishop McMahon told the

:16:25. > :16:27.congregation he hopes the new Hillsborough inquests will uncover

:16:28. > :16:34.the truth about what happened in the disaster. Here's our Merseyside

:16:35. > :16:43.reporter Andy Gill. An informal start to a very formal

:16:44. > :16:50.ceremony. Mal Malcolm McMahon greets friends at Liverpool's Catholic

:16:51. > :16:53.Cathedral. At his residence before the installation he told us that

:16:54. > :16:56.Liverpool needs jobs to make sure young people stay in the city. It

:16:57. > :17:01.would have to be investment in industry, something that produces

:17:02. > :17:05.wealth and prosperity in the city. Not just service and leisure

:17:06. > :17:10.industries. The cathedral was packed for the installation. 33 current or

:17:11. > :17:16.retired Bishops were among the congregation.

:17:17. > :17:23.Applause as his predes cess cesser `` predecessor Patrick Kelly handed

:17:24. > :17:27.over the Archbishop's crozier. The new Archbishop spoke about truth and

:17:28. > :17:32.the new Hillsborough inquests. It's our hope and expectation that the

:17:33. > :17:39.inquest will uncover and explain the truth of what happened so that

:17:40. > :17:45.justice will be done for the 96 and for their families whose dignity

:17:46. > :17:50.over the last 25 years has been an example to all of us. The Archbishop

:17:51. > :18:00.led a mass of celebration before greeting his new flock outside. He

:18:01. > :18:07.said he was honoured and humbled. A very glamorous and busy

:18:08. > :18:10.inauguration. Lancashire's James Anderson and Jos

:18:11. > :18:13.Butler have been named in the England squad to face Scotland in a

:18:14. > :18:17.one`day international next week. Anderson's been in fine form for

:18:18. > :18:20.Lancs this season, so he'll be hoping he can help the national side

:18:21. > :18:24.get over their terrible winter in Australia. And Jimmy's proving a hit

:18:25. > :18:27.in the world of fashion too, as he launched his own clothing range in

:18:28. > :18:33.Manchester earlier. Stuart Flinders went to see him. As the County

:18:34. > :18:39.season gets into its stride, so does Jimmy Anderson. Jimmy's

:18:40. > :18:43.characteristically modest. Been really pleasing. I had a couple of

:18:44. > :18:49.months off after Australia, trying to iron out any flaws that had crept

:18:50. > :18:52.into my technique and it's been really enjoyable being back with the

:18:53. > :18:56.Lancashire lads and I am happy that I could contribute to this week.

:18:57. > :19:01.Wearing the shirt he will be modelling for a new men'swear range

:19:02. > :19:06.tonight he told me about the loss of the coach to England and about new

:19:07. > :19:11.coach Glenn Chapel. I think with Glenn taking over, with him having

:19:12. > :19:16.been captain for five years under Peter Moores that will stand him in

:19:17. > :19:21.great stead looking forward under his reign for the rest of the year.

:19:22. > :19:27.I think the fact that Peter's been there for the whole winter and set

:19:28. > :19:33.us up, the team's ready to go, he is leaving us in a good position. One

:19:34. > :19:37.consolation during a disappointing winter in Australia has been the

:19:38. > :19:40.success of Jimmy's football team Burnley promoted to the Premier

:19:41. > :19:47.League. I have seen them a couple of times. I went to, I think I probably

:19:48. > :19:52.went to one of the only games we didn't win... They'll be glad you

:19:53. > :19:58.didn't come back then! Yeah, I have been following it very closely. I

:19:59. > :20:01.have been watching on TV. It's been an incredible year really,

:20:02. > :20:10.incredible season. If Jimmy carries on the way he started, he is in for

:20:11. > :20:15.an incredible season too. Only an athlete can carry off

:20:16. > :20:28.wearing a shirt like that. He models his own stuff, as well. Very dapper

:20:29. > :20:31.he looks. I wouldn't! The new owner of Barrow Football

:20:32. > :20:35.Club has promised to invest ?2 million to get the club back in the

:20:36. > :20:39.football league. Paul Casson grew up in the town but moved to America

:20:40. > :20:41.where he has made millions running a Dallas`based telecommunications

:20:42. > :20:45.company. Mr Casson has paid ?600,000 to buy the ground and the club which

:20:46. > :20:47.currently plays in the Conference North ` two divisions below the

:20:48. > :20:50.football league. I think it's important to give back.

:20:51. > :20:55.Now from what I have achieved I have the opportunity to give back. This

:20:56. > :20:59.opportunity has come along. There is no reason we can't get back into the

:21:00. > :21:02.football league. The community's big enough to support it. There is

:21:03. > :21:12.enough love and depth of feeling for the club.

:21:13. > :21:16.Fams Camara lives on the Isle of Man but was born to a poor family in

:21:17. > :21:19.Gambia. As a young child he sold firewood and washed clothes to fund

:21:20. > :21:23.his way through school and many people who grew up alongside him are

:21:24. > :21:25.no longer alive, because they didn't have access to clean water. He's

:21:26. > :21:28.recently secured funding from the Isle of Man's International

:21:29. > :21:32.Development Committee to provide his village with a new well, replacing

:21:33. > :21:35.the old one his own mother dug over 40 years ago. He's been overseeing

:21:36. > :21:37.the work himself and Kelly Foran's been to meet him.

:21:38. > :21:41.The warmest of welcomes. Fams greeted with song and dance for

:21:57. > :22:01.my life was a plastic bottle. I travelled to school 14 kilometres to

:22:02. > :22:06.and back and the plastic bottle means a lifeline, you put water in

:22:07. > :22:12.to drink. This absolutely means life. He also gave out old mobile

:22:13. > :22:17.phones and a phone he took saved the lives of a mother and child. It was

:22:18. > :22:22.used to call for a doctor instead of a five`hour journey on a donkey and

:22:23. > :22:31.cart to hospital. The parents were so thankful they've named this

:22:32. > :22:36.little girl Lamin Nokia Jobe. Thank you, and we have to name our child

:22:37. > :22:51.after the phone. I said what phone? He said Nokia. These children were

:22:52. > :22:59.so excited to receive gifts, and the new well, funded by the Isle of Man

:23:18. > :23:19.City asked fans to apply for a new post at the club's membership

:23:20. > :23:23.section. Shortlisted candidates had to sing the club's anthem, answer

:23:24. > :23:28.City trivia and commentate on Sergio Aguero's title`winning goal. Then

:23:29. > :23:33.the man himself went along to tell the winning candidate Lee John

:23:34. > :23:40.Kenny. How about that! Fantastic. I bet he couldn't believe it. You were

:23:41. > :23:46.right, we wouldn't win if we had to sing.

:23:47. > :23:53.Good evening. Not a great day today. Most places were grey and overcast.

:23:54. > :23:57.Dull, and damp. The picture will change over the next couple of

:23:58. > :24:01.hours. This has been the track the rain has took, concentrated in the

:24:02. > :24:04.south`west of the region but you can see on the latest pictures it's

:24:05. > :24:08.pushing out. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a light shower in the

:24:09. > :24:12.next hour. This warning is in place until tonight but it's probably

:24:13. > :24:16.largely redundant. If you are driving you might bump into a shower

:24:17. > :24:21.and it could be hefty. The rest of the night is a settled affair, it's

:24:22. > :24:25.cloudy. The breeze is stronger than recently. Overnight temperatures

:24:26. > :24:28.aren't as good as they've been. We have had double figures for many

:24:29. > :24:32.nights this week. Tonight you will be looking at five for rural areas

:24:33. > :24:37.and seven and eight for towns and cities. Tomorrow morning don't be

:24:38. > :24:41.disappointed, eventually things will get better. You start with cloud

:24:42. > :24:44.cover around. It will thin and break as the morning goes on. You can see

:24:45. > :24:47.the clearance from this weather front coming through to parts of

:24:48. > :24:51.Cumbria and Lancashire. Through the afternoon it should spread

:24:52. > :24:54.everywhere. Eventually we cheer up. But you have to keep the faith

:24:55. > :24:58.because it's going to take time before that happens. The breeze is

:24:59. > :25:05.stronger and not from a favourable direction so temperatures realistic

:25:13. > :25:18.mixed favour but it's not a bad one. It's mixed, but not bad. I don't

:25:19. > :25:25.want to mislead you. We are pinning our hopes on a nice weekend! You
