:00:24. > :00:27.Now the police say there's dnough evidence for a criminal inqtiry

:00:28. > :00:30.An inquest hears about the despair at facing her childhood abuser which

:00:36. > :00:48.The unusual delinquents getting one neighbourhood in a flap.

:00:49. > :00:54.I don't want them hurt but H would like them re`homing, please. A long

:00:55. > :01:00.way away from here. Twin sisters

:01:01. > :01:02.from Manchester are feared to have become jihadi brides in Syrha after

:01:03. > :01:04.apparently following their brother Their mosque in Rusholme saxs

:01:05. > :01:11.it's appalled by the news. The 16`year`old girls disappeared

:01:12. > :01:13.from home in the middle The Muslim Women's Network says it

:01:14. > :01:19.fears they may be victims of what What made two 16`year`old

:01:20. > :01:27.British girls travel to one of the Today we began to find out why.

:01:28. > :01:35.The leaders at their mosque in the Rusholme area of Manchester said

:01:36. > :01:47.they were shocked. We are appalled that these xoung

:01:48. > :01:52.girls have gone to Syria. As Muslims we condemn terrorism. We pr`y that

:01:53. > :01:56.the girls returned safely to Manchester and their family.

:01:57. > :01:58.The teenagers are members of Manchester's Somali commtnity

:01:59. > :02:10.The girls spent most of thehr lives in Bolton before coming to

:02:11. > :02:14.Manchester. Their brother h`s already gone to Syria. How the girls

:02:15. > :02:18.found the money to travel there is not known, nor is it known dxactly

:02:19. > :02:20.why they went. But Mussurut Zia,

:02:21. > :02:22.who works with young Muslim women in Blackburn, believes they will

:02:23. > :02:31.have been under pressure to go. If their brother is there, they are

:02:32. > :02:35.sitting duck, if you will, because their belief systems will bd the

:02:36. > :02:40.same. Maybe their brother h`s encouraged them, we don't know. The

:02:41. > :02:42.term I would use is religiots crooning.

:02:43. > :02:44.Only on Friday, Greater Manchester's Chief Constable

:02:45. > :02:46.warned that young women werd being lured to conflict areas

:02:47. > :02:58.It essentially means marrying one of the killers, soldiers, jihadis is,

:02:59. > :03:00.out there. It is an extremely dangerous thing to do.

:03:01. > :03:02.The leader of an organisation that clahms to

:03:03. > :03:04.represent mainstream Muslims, says the girls' disappearance represents

:03:05. > :03:06.an intelligence failure, but admits it's also a cause for reflection

:03:07. > :03:19.Obviously there are issues for the community to address. If yot look

:03:20. > :03:24.at, are imams doing enough, are we as a community doing enough? I think

:03:25. > :03:28.we are not. We have thought there is something happening in the Liddle

:03:29. > :03:32.East but we are at `` we ard having more and more cases of people going

:03:33. > :03:34.out there and we need to confront it as a community.

:03:35. > :03:36.Greater Manchester Police s`y they're working with the falily

:03:37. > :03:40.Stuart Flinders, BBC North West Tonight, Manchester.

:03:41. > :03:42.There are significant developments tonight in the inquiry

:03:43. > :03:43.into historical child abuse allegations at Knowl View

:03:44. > :03:48.The police have asked Rochd`le Council not to start an inqtiry

:03:49. > :03:51.into a possible cover`up ` because enough evidence has been fotnd to

:03:52. > :03:55.It comes as the Home Secret`ry, Theresa May, orders two new public

:03:56. > :03:59.inquiries into similar allegations, some of which appear to link

:04:00. > :04:04.Our political editor Arif Ansari is live at Westminster

:04:05. > :04:20.What is going on tonight in terms of the police enquiry? I think this is

:04:21. > :04:23.significant. When the alleg`tions about Cyril Smith emerged, some of

:04:24. > :04:29.those centred on Knowl View residential school. Most people now

:04:30. > :04:36.say that Cyril Smith was a prolific paedophile. In terms of this, what

:04:37. > :04:43.happened was that two enquiries began. One was conducted by Greater

:04:44. > :04:48.Manchester Police. That was looking into who was involved in paddophile

:04:49. > :04:53.activity. There was a second one by the Rochdale Council, looking into a

:04:54. > :04:57.possible cover`up. What has happened today is that Greater Manchdster

:04:58. > :05:03.Police have said the council, please don't continue your enquiry, because

:05:04. > :05:06.we have found enough evidence ourselves to begin a second criminal

:05:07. > :05:11.enquiry, this time into the cover`up. How does the home

:05:12. > :05:17.secretary's announcement thhs afternoon link this? What is

:05:18. > :05:25.significant is that several of my macro MPs are linked to this, Cyril

:05:26. > :05:30.Smith and the current Rochd`le MP, who exposed all this, but also the

:05:31. > :05:35.MP for nearby Saddleworth, who went to the Home Office in the 1880s

:05:36. > :05:38.alleging a criminal conspir`cy. Today the home secretary outlined

:05:39. > :05:45.the the Commons what had bedn found from what he had alleged.

:05:46. > :05:52.It concluded there was no shngle Dickens dossier but they had been

:05:53. > :05:53.letters from Mr Dickens to several Home Secretaries containing

:05:54. > :05:59.allegations of sexual offences against children. Copies of the

:06:00. > :06:05.letters had not been kept btt the investigator found evidence that the

:06:06. > :06:11.evidence Mr Dickens had found had been considered and matters had been

:06:12. > :06:19.referred to the police. Simon Danczuk, what you feel about

:06:20. > :06:23.this announcement? It is correct that this should be a policd

:06:24. > :06:27.investigation so I am pleasdd they have reached the decision bx have.

:06:28. > :06:33.`` they have. A disturbance at a mental hdalth

:08:07. > :08:08.Classical violinist Frances Andrade was sexually abused by a senior

:08:09. > :08:10.teacher at Chetham's School of Music in Manchester.

:08:11. > :08:13.But an inquest was today told that when she gave evidence against

:08:14. > :08:16.him she felt like she was the one being put on trial.

:08:17. > :08:18.Her husband said it caused her "incredible despair" and a week

:08:19. > :08:20.later she died after taking an overdose.

:08:21. > :08:27.Our chief reporter Dave Guest has been at Woking Coroner's Cotrt.

:08:28. > :08:33.Frances Andrade was a gifted musician who had experienced a

:08:34. > :08:38.troubled childhood. As a tednager she was sexually abused by her tutor

:08:39. > :08:46.at Chetham's School of Music in Manchester. She kept that abuse a

:08:47. > :08:51.secret for decades but then a friend reported it to the police and she

:08:52. > :08:59.had to confront her past. Brewers put on trial in 2013 but within days

:09:00. > :09:07.of testifying Frances Andrade was dead. Her husband today told an

:09:08. > :09:13.inquest in Surrey her life `` his wife was in despair because she had

:09:14. > :09:18.to recall those horrible daxs. He said his wife had been in a very low

:09:19. > :09:22.mood, she said that she thotght that Mr Brewer's barrister had bden

:09:23. > :09:27.attacking her personally, that it was her on trial, not him. On

:09:28. > :09:31.returning to their home in Surrey she took to her bed and staxed

:09:32. > :09:37.there. On one morning her htsband went up to her bedroom and found her

:09:38. > :09:43.lying still and cold. She h`d taken an overdose of medication that had

:09:44. > :09:48.been prescribed for him. Shd did not live to see Mr Brewer jailed for

:09:49. > :09:52.abusing her. The inquest will take place later the week but thhs is not

:09:53. > :09:55.the first time that the casd of Frances Andrade has been

:09:56. > :10:03.scrutinised. Sorry's safegu`rding adults board carried out its own

:10:04. > :10:07.enquiry last year and said that her death could have been prevented It

:10:08. > :10:17.said that she would have bedn let down by mental health services. ``

:10:18. > :10:19.she had been. Her husband s`id that the experience was the sole reason

:10:20. > :10:23.for his wife's death. ?1 billion has been promised to

:10:24. > :10:26.the North West in the latest round of Growth Fund

:10:27. > :10:28.investment from the governmdnt. It means new roads, new bridges

:10:29. > :10:31.new housing, all with one ahm ` to create new jobs

:10:32. > :10:33.and new economic growth. Tonight Labour described it as

:10:34. > :10:35."a pre`election stunt". One MP told this programme London

:10:36. > :10:38.should be barred from bidding Here's our economics

:10:39. > :10:42.correspondent, Jayne McCubbhn. OK ` fingers on buzzers, pldase

:10:43. > :10:45.Which region needs more help with economic growth?

:10:46. > :10:47.The North West? And which region received the

:10:48. > :10:55.biggest payout in the latest round of regional growth fund?

:10:56. > :10:57.The North West or the South East? Today Iain Duncan Smith was one of

:10:58. > :11:04.four ` yes, FOUR ` government ministers in the region announcing

:11:05. > :11:06.the latest deals. It is a VERY big deal for the North

:11:07. > :11:08.West. Around ?1 billion over thred years

:11:09. > :11:17.to create jobs in places like this ` But the South East

:11:18. > :11:27.and London had an even biggdr deal. This is a continuing problel. While

:11:28. > :11:29.I support the idea of shovelling money into the regions, we need to

:11:30. > :11:32.correct that balance. In fact Andrew Miller thinks the

:11:33. > :11:34.South East and London should... ..buzz off when it comes to the

:11:35. > :11:37.growth fund. Why should they bid for cash when

:11:38. > :11:50.the South East is powering `head I don't want to get into a war about

:11:51. > :11:55.who once less. The fact is, they need it more than we do. Thdre is a

:11:56. > :11:58.huge amount of cash coming tp here and London has a very high

:11:59. > :12:01.unemployment level. So what does the deal mean? Well,

:12:02. > :12:08.too many projects to mention here here, but it means amongst other

:12:09. > :12:10.things new trams in Manchester ` part of a

:12:11. > :12:27.?170 million pot of cash to create 5,000 jobs. In Lancashire it means a

:12:28. > :12:30.new bypass and much more ` ?84 million to

:12:31. > :12:32.generate 4,000 jobs. It means a new train station in the

:12:33. > :12:35.Liverpool city region ` one project in many, receiving ?46 millhon. They

:12:36. > :12:38.want to grow 10,000 jobs. It means new roads and bridges in

:12:39. > :12:41.Cheshire ` ?20 million to create jobs.

:12:42. > :12:43.In Cumbria it means infrastructure investment ` ?9 million ` some of it

:12:44. > :12:46.focused around the expansion of GlaxoSmithKline. With the hope of

:12:47. > :12:48.generating 2,000 new jobs. It's a big deal. With very big

:12:49. > :12:50.expectations. But for some it hasn't done enough

:12:51. > :12:53.to fix a big problem. "If there's any fighting to be done

:12:54. > :12:59.it's going to be done That's the rallying cry

:13:00. > :13:03.the senior officer in chargd of Hillsborough is alleged to have

:13:04. > :13:06.used before an earlier match. A police Inspector today told

:13:07. > :13:08.the new inquests he thought the remarks by Chief Superintendent

:13:09. > :13:10.David Duckinfield were Let's join our

:13:11. > :13:20.Merseyside David Buchan reporter, You you heard this as it was said in

:13:21. > :13:26.the statements by the officdr. `` you heard. Tell us the contdxt in

:13:27. > :13:32.which these remarks were made. They were made by a South Yorkshhre

:13:33. > :13:40.police inspector, a PC at a match commanded by Dukinfield in the

:13:41. > :13:47.1990s. The inspector said D`vid Duckinfield gave a briefing along

:13:48. > :13:53.the lines of, if there is any fighting to be done it is going to

:13:54. > :13:59.be done by the police, not the fans. The inspector was asked what he

:14:00. > :14:00.thought Mr Dukinfield meant and he said he did think it was an

:14:01. > :14:20.unprofessional comment to bd made. Chief superintendent Buck on field

:14:21. > :14:24.was in charge on the day of the Hillsborough disaster because his

:14:25. > :14:33.experienced predecessor had just Dean moved to another posting. ``

:14:34. > :14:45.David Duckinfield. We heard it was because of a prank played bx

:14:46. > :14:48.officers. Yes, the previous experienced superintendent loved

:14:49. > :14:53.away replaced by the relatively inexperienced David Duckinfheld

:14:54. > :14:58.Officers resigned or were disciplined because of a pr`nk they

:14:59. > :15:05.had played on a junior officer. It was put to a retired police

:15:06. > :15:09.inspector that Mr Moore may have been moved because of what he did in

:15:10. > :15:29.the after `` the aftermath of what happened. Thank you very much

:16:19. > :16:21.A precious hoard of Roman and Late Iron Age coins has been found in a

:16:22. > :16:24.Peak District cave. The discovery was made by a climber ` and the

:16:25. > :16:27.coins were then fully excav`ted with the help of former soldiers injured

:16:28. > :16:35.Deep inside this cave archadologists found gold and silver coins placed

:16:36. > :16:41.here as some kind of bank ddposit. How the coins got in the cave is a

:16:42. > :16:46.mystery. The coins are thought to have belonged to a tribe who lived

:16:47. > :16:52.around Lincoln around the thme of the Roman invasion of Britahn. Each

:16:53. > :17:02.is decorated with a horse or a wreath. One theory is that powerful

:17:26. > :18:09.true France, haven't you?

:18:10. > :18:12.It was incredible. When it came into our region there were tens of

:18:13. > :19:28.thousands of people lining the route well

:19:29. > :19:37.It is gobsmacking. You are thinking, my God, that is my little boy in the

:23:31. > :23:35.Bramhall. Leafy and pleasant. Pigeons are not a pest here, it is

:23:36. > :23:42.an altogether more upmarket plague of peacocks. Jenny's bungalow was

:23:43. > :23:47.invaded by five, and they c`used a bit of a flap. I came in and there

:23:48. > :23:54.were three in the hall and two in the kitchen. The windowsill was that

:23:55. > :23:59.deep in faeces and it is not pleasant and it makes you g`g. It

:24:00. > :24:05.was everywhere, in my phone, splashed on my pictures, I had to

:24:06. > :24:11.take down the curtains. It was in the kettle, which was distrdssing!

:24:12. > :24:22.Up the street from Jenny was one of the peacocks' favourite roosts. The

:24:23. > :24:25.children have really taken to them, people come and take photos. We

:24:26. > :24:31.don't feed them so we don't know what it is, it must just be the

:24:32. > :24:41.ambience. Do you want to sax hello to the peacocks? They are bdautiful.

:24:42. > :24:49.Enter the local scrap dealer and the peacocks take flight.

:24:50. > :24:56.Would you take some away? I would take some away, yes.

:24:57. > :25:04.I don't want them hurt, but I would like them re`homing, please. A long

:25:05. > :25:13.way away from here! Preferably Cornwall!

:25:14. > :25:19.They are terrible trouble m`kers, aren't they?

:25:20. > :25:22.If anybody is going to Cornwall on holiday and fancies a few gtests in

:25:23. > :25:34.the car, Jenny would be verx grateful!

:25:35. > :25:42.Good evening. We managed to have a decent weekend after all of the rain

:25:43. > :25:48.that fell on Friday afternoon to Saturday morning. After that we had

:25:49. > :25:52.good spells a sunshine and we had good spells today, but tomorrow a

:25:53. > :26:01.mixture of scattered showers and sunny spells. Over the last couple

:26:02. > :26:10.of hours are not of rainy p`tches have formed to the south`west of us.

:26:11. > :26:16.If you have not seen any of them as yet, you could do in the next few
