00:00We've been jamming the switchboard both here and at the instance of our active webcast.
00:04So, mind you, we're going to do the production radio drop campaign and the handgun today.
00:11Hello and welcome to Prime Watch 12, people rang in giving the stage, the fantastic results of this.
00:26Hello and welcome to the programme.
00:28And we are broadcasting live from our studios right here, smack bang, in the middle of Cardiff City.
00:34Now, last week we spoke to Sussex Police about an investigation into historical sexual abuse at a school.
00:41Well, the police say they have had a huge response since we ran that and have been contacted by a number of former students.
00:49So, thank you for those calls. We'll update you on how that progresses when we can.
00:53Today, detectives are hunting for this man, wanted in connection with a shooting on a quiet street in Gloucester.
01:03And we're hearing how detectives in Leeds caught the culprit responsible for the needless death of delivery driver Claudio Carroll Condor.
01:11Claudio makes a dive into the passenger seat to stop the suspect from taking his livelihood.
01:18There's a collision that does knock Claudio off and that ultimately is where Claudio dies.
01:25It's a terrible case.
01:28We'll also be chatting to a charity harnessing the power of the beautiful game to keep kids engaged with education.
01:34The level of consistency in care was, like, to the highest standard days.
01:41Probably top three most important people in my life.
01:47And the iconic black cab, as you've never seen it before, it's been transformed into an ambulance taxi to help transport vulnerable patients to hospitals.
01:57And as always, our team and officers are backstage, ready to take any of your calls.
02:03You can find our contact details by following our QR code, which will take you to our homepage.
02:08And there you can find all of our contact details.
02:11Otherwise, the number to call is 08000 468 999.
02:15You can text us on 63399.
02:18Just start with the word crime, leave a space, then write your message.
02:21Or send us an email, if you prefer, at cwl at bbc.co.uk.
02:28But first this morning, a tragic case of mistaken identity, which led to the brutal murder of a teenager and ripped apart the lives of a family in a quiet Cardiff suburb.
02:44Amory was just a joyful boy.
02:47Just happy, just peels of laughter.
02:56Amory was very close to mum and dad.
02:59He was 17th, and I think as he matured, he just became a very sensitive, thoughtful young boy.
03:06Also with some teenage sensibilities.
03:08He was always doing something.
03:13It was always an after-school activity, or going to see sports, or doing sport.
03:18So it was very rarely at home.
03:20And he seemed incredibly popular.
03:27I had a very brief message saying that there's been an accident come home.
03:32So I arrived at the University Hospital of Wales.
03:38I went to the A&E, where my mum was actually being seen by one of the A&E doctors.
03:44And she was just a hysterical mess.
03:47She was crying, and she was screaming.
03:49She was saying, my son, this is what's happened to him.
03:52I later saw my dad, and he was the complete opposite, just sitting there completely silent in a chair, not speaking at all.
04:02The army of Siddiqui was stabbed to death.
04:06His violent death confounded all who knew him.
04:10His mother and father heard his screams and desperately tried to help him.
04:14He was attacked by two men who howled as they stabbed him with daggers.
04:20It was Sunday afternoon, and he was expecting the Quran teacher to visit the home.
04:26There was a doorknock, and he opened the door, and two men came in with masks.
04:31And they started indiscriminately stabbing at him.
04:36The attack was extremely violent and brutal in nature, resulting in Namir sustaining several stab wounds,
04:44as did his parents, really, in trying to intervene and rescue his son.
04:49We couldn't understand what happened, why it happened.
04:54Why would anyone do this?
04:56This afternoon, united in grief and shock, his sisters made this appeal.
05:03We are worried, in our own grief, that the people who have committed this crime may do this again.
05:12South Wales police made an appeal for information, and we were just glued to the TV every single day trying to find out what happened.
05:20It is clearly a hypothesis about us that Amir was mistakenly targeted.
05:27Amir was an upstanding member of the community, of total clean character, and I can't understand why he was targeted in this fashion.
05:34Within a very short period of time, two men were arrested for murder.
05:38His father, Iqbal, and mother, Parveen, have been in court to hear the details of how their son became the unintended victim of a blundered contract killing.
05:48The two defendants are accused of coming here to Amir's home in a leafy Cardiff suburb, having been promised cash to carry out a contract killing.
05:58But they got the wrong address.
06:00Two men were subsequently convicted for Amir's murder, and they continued to serve 40 years each,
06:06which I think represents the magnitude and severity of the incident.
06:10Jason Richards and Ben Hope were two small-scale criminals who were essentially drug addicts,
06:21and they broke the sanctity of our family home.
06:26For the police, whilst it's satisfying that two men have been convicted for Amir's murder,
06:38there remains a third person who's wanted in connection with that murder, and that's Muhammad Ali Edge.
06:45And our focus continues to be on tracing Muhammad Ali Edge and returning him to the UK.
06:51I think it'll be the final piece of the jigsaw, and we could just put this sorry saga and heartbreak to rest and finally move on as a family.
07:05Gosh, this really is a brutal case, and with me now is DCI Matt Powell of South Wales Police.
07:16I mean, this happened 15 years ago, but the impact of it is still very much being felt now, isn't it?
07:22It is, and rightly so.
07:23This was the brutal, horrific murder of a 17-year-old on his doorstep.
07:28A young man who had his whole life ahead of him, loved football, was learning the Koran,
07:32doing really well at school, studying for his A-levels.
07:34In fact, he was waiting for his Koran teacher to arrive to teach him that day,
07:38and thought when the doorbell went, it was that teacher, but it wasn't.
07:41It was masked intruders who were going to brutally kill him.
07:44Yeah, so he had his whole life ahead of him, and understandably, his family, absolutely devastated by this.
07:49And his mum in particular is pooly now, isn't she?
07:53She is, yes. They were completely devastated at the time.
07:55Mum and Dad lost a very much-loved son.
07:57Sisters loved a very cherished brother.
07:59And also, mum is ill now, and I just hope we can get some complete justice for them as a family,
08:05as their lifetime goes on.
08:07Yeah, completely.
08:08And so, when you started this case, there were two arrests initially and convictions, weren't there?
08:12Tell us about that.
08:14Yes, there were.
08:15So, Benjamin Hope and Jason Richards were both arrested, convicted at trial,
08:20and sentenced to life with 40 years minimum sentence.
08:25Yeah, but there is someone you are still trying to find.
08:28That's correct, yes. There's a third person outstanding, that person being Mohamed Ali Ej.
08:32Yes. So, tell us a bit about him, because he is on the most wanted list, isn't he?
08:36So, he's someone you've been trying really hard to find.
08:39That's correct. We've been working with various law enforcement agencies in the NCA over the last 15 years to find him.
08:45He is Wales' most wanted man, and he remains at large.
08:48He was born in Dubai in 1977, came and settled in Cardiff with his family, but we haven't been able to find him since.
08:56He was arrested in 2011 in India, having fled Cardiff around 2010 after the murder,
09:03but unfortunately in 2017, he escaped custody in India whilst waiting an extradition to the UK.
09:08Goodness, that's so tough, isn't it, of him as given. How is he managing to get about then? How is he doing all the travelling?
09:14We believe that he's using false passports, false identification papers, and also possibly changing his identity and appearance.
09:22Yeah, and understandably, you know, we talked about Amir's family. They've not given up on this.
09:27They're part of a podcast trying to flush him out. There's leaflets now being distributed, aren't they?
09:33Absolutely.
09:33So, yeah, tell us about what's going on.
09:35Yeah, so they haven't given up, and nor have we, and you've mentioned Parveen, his mum, being very ill.
09:40That's just made us, I think, more steadfast and determined.
09:43And along with this appeal today, there's a leaflet drop being conducted in targeted areas of Cardiff,
09:48where we're appealing to our diverse communities to hopefully come forward with information.
09:52I really do believe answers to where he is lying in the community.
09:54Yeah, what kind of information are you looking for then?
09:56We're looking for any information as to where he is currently, and that may be from the local community here,
10:01or officials or members of the public in other countries he may well be.
10:05And affiliations, allegiances can change over time. That may have happened over the last 15 years.
10:11So I would appeal to the morals and the values of people to please come forward.
10:14Yeah, and there was a Crimestoppers Reward connected to this, wasn't there?
10:17That's correct, there was. That came to an end in April 2024.
10:21I'm currently in conversation with Crimestoppers to renew that appeal with reward.
10:25Yeah, well, Matt, let's hope this helps, and thank you so much for coming in today to talk about this.
10:30Please do get in touch if you know anything at all about this heartbreaking appeal.
10:36Well, our next appeal is another awful case of mistaken identity.
10:41I'm joined now by Detective Inspector Paula Hanniford and Detective Sergeant John Uden,
10:46who need help with a shooting.
10:48Good morning to you both.
10:50It's an awful incident, Paula. What can you tell us about it?
10:52Well, on the 18th of January this year, between 8 and 9 o'clock in the evening,
10:56the three suspects travelled from Birmingham to Gloucester on two high-powered motorbikes.
11:00They pulled into a junction off of Coney Hill Road in Gloucester
11:03and then proceeded to Stanway Road,
11:06whereupon they went and shot an innocent family man
11:09and then left the Stanway Road address towards the M5.
11:13I mean, it's absolutely terrifying.
11:16I mean, shootings are rare anyway, but especially in an area like this,
11:19in a quiet town, incredibly rare.
11:22But he's had a huge impact on this man who was there with his family, John.
11:26It's just emotionally and physically as well.
11:29It's had a catastrophic effect on the family.
11:31His family were home at the time.
11:33His leg was shattered in eight places
11:35and he's still receiving significant medical intervention.
11:37Absolutely awful.
11:38So, Paula, you want to talk us through some CCTV
11:40and just show us what's happening now,
11:43because this is literally at the time of the incident.
11:44The suspect gets off the back of the bike ridden by Simeon Bernard.
11:48He goes to the victim's home address, front door.
11:51He puts a loaded handgun to his head
11:53and then the victim, who's ex-military, chases after him.
11:57There's a commotion where people are pushed over
11:59and the bike...
12:01So we can see that there.
12:03That is the victim that's actually charged out
12:05and pushed the bike over.
12:07But we can see now, we've stopped it there,
12:09that is actually a firearm.
12:10Yes, so the wanted suspect hands the handgun to Simeon Bernard,
12:15who then puts it to his head and fires, but misfires,
12:18and then shoots him in the leg.
12:21It's absolutely horrific.
12:23And we can see here, after they start the bike,
12:25they then make their getaway on those bikes once again.
12:29But clearly, we need to find who that outstanding suspect was.
12:32Because, John, we mentioned one of the names there.
12:35Two people have already been convicted,
12:37thanks to the work by yourselves and your team.
12:39You've got two convicted. Tell me about that.
12:41That's correct. Two men have been convicted,
12:43Simeon Bernard with the beard and Darren Atkins.
12:46They were both convicted of possessing a handgun
12:48with intent to endanger life,
12:50and Simeon Bernard on a separate indictment
12:52of the Section 18 wounding.
12:54Bernard received 16 years and Atkins received 12.
12:58We got to them by CCTV inquiries
13:01that took us northbound on the M5 up to Birmingham.
13:04We were able to use the CCTV and show both Suzuki and Yamaha UK,
13:08who were able to identify both motorbikes to us.
13:11One of them was relatively rare.
13:13That was then found to be for sale,
13:15being sold by Mr. Atkins in Birmingham.
13:18Further digital inquiries into Mr. Atkins linked him to the crime scene
13:22and also linked him to Mr. Bernard,
13:24who became Oscar and suspect.
13:26I mean, you did some brilliant work there.
13:27There was one bike, though.
13:28As yet, you've not been able to trace.
13:30You know what it is.
13:31It's one that was similar to this.
13:32So this is a Suzuki GSX-R 1000.
13:36No plates at the time,
13:37but you've identified what it should be on.
13:39This is a bike ridden by Mr. Simeon Bernard.
13:42It's got distinctive orange wheels,
13:44other than the stock bike you see in the image there.
13:47It didn't have a plate on at the time,
13:49but it did have a registration plate of Kilopapa 02 Lima X-Ray Golf,
13:53which does belong to that motorbike.
13:55OK, so obviously we need any information about anyone
13:57that may have seen that bike being used
13:58around the time of this offence.
14:01So you've done some brilliant work, as I say there,
14:03but there's still that one outstanding suspect, Paula, isn't there?
14:05You need to find who that is.
14:07We do.
14:07He had that firearm.
14:08He went to the door with a purpose of shooting somebody at an address.
14:13We obviously found him and the others
14:15at the petrol forecourt on Junction 2 of the M5.
14:19There he is, sat cool as a cucumber.
14:21This is just after the shooting, isn't it?
14:25In fact, we've got the footage of that at this petrol station
14:28after substantial CCTV inquiries that you and your team have done.
14:32You've managed to retrieve this.
14:33This was just after the shooting.
14:35They sat there, and as you say,
14:36it's like he's got not a care in the world,
14:38just sat there on the bike, very, very calm.
14:40This is just after that shooting
14:43that could have easily been even worse than it already is.
14:47What this also gives, it's a nice clear image, isn't it?
14:49It's a colour image of what he was wearing at the time,
14:53so we need to identify that individual there.
14:57So, who are you appealing for today?
15:01We're looking for information to try and identify this man.
15:03He is a known associate of Simeon Bernard and Darren Atkins,
15:07so people moving in those circles may know who he is.
15:10We also know that on the night of the shooting,
15:12they will return to Mr Atkins' address
15:13in Hastings Road in Birmingham.
15:15Atkins called a taxi, which we believe the pillion left in.
15:18That taxi went into the Walsall area,
15:21but it didn't reach its destination.
15:23The passenger told him to stop short of the destination,
15:26and he was dropped off at the junction of Churchill Road
15:28and Morris Avenue, so we believe that he's local to that area.
15:32So that's it, and that's really significant, actually.
15:34So we need any information for that area,
15:36Walsall, in the West Midlands.
15:38And, Paul, again, if anyone's got any information about this,
15:41you don't desperately need this information.
15:42If they need further incentive to come forwards,
15:46then there is a Crimestoppers reward.
15:48There is.
15:49Crimestoppers, the independent charity,
15:50are offering an award of up to £20,000
15:52for information leading to the arrest and conviction
15:54of that pillion passenger on the back of that motorbike.
15:57Hopefully we can get some answers for you today.
15:59Thank you both for coming in.
16:01If you know anything at all that can help,
16:03all the ways to contact us are on the screen below.
16:05Yes, and hopefully your calls will help detectives
16:09to solve that investigation.
16:12Well, now on to another case,
16:13this time involving the senseless death
16:15of a delivery driver by a career criminal.
16:24I don't know how I will live without him.
16:29Everything seems so difficult to me.
16:32I'm still shocked and confused by everything that happened.
16:38And I miss him very much.
16:48Claudio and his partner had been in the country
16:50for about five years.
16:51They moved here to make a life for themselves.
16:54They lived in Sheffield,
16:56but his work as a delivery driver
16:57took him regularly into Leeds delivering parcels.
17:02On Tuesday the 20th of August,
17:04he was doing his normal route.
17:06Claudio phoned his partner that afternoon
17:08to say that he was going to be late away from work
17:11because of the volume of parcels
17:13that he still had to deliver.
17:15He'd stop, deliver a parcel,
17:17jump back in, in and out, in and out.
17:19Leaving the keys in the ignition,
17:20leaving the engine running
17:21isn't something that he would normally do.
17:24But he was rushing.
17:25He needs to get finished
17:26and he wanted to get home to his partner.
17:27But what Claudio didn't know
17:30was that he was being closely watched.
17:33The van was first noticed
17:35on Conference Road in Leeds.
17:38Claudio pulls from Conference Road
17:39onto Alliance Street where he pulls up.
17:43There was a little further to walk
17:45to get to the house
17:47that needed the parcel delivered.
17:49That gave just that fraction of a second more
17:51for the suspect
17:52to jump in the driver's seat of the van.
17:54Claudio turns,
17:59notices what's happened,
18:02makes a dive into the passenger seat
18:04to stop the suspect
18:05from taking his livelihood.
18:09The suspect sets off
18:10with Claudio hanging on
18:12to the passenger side.
18:15And it's about half a mile
18:17that the van is driven
18:19with Claudio clinging on
18:20to the passenger side.
18:22Claudio was desperately
18:24clinging for his life.
18:25He was shouting
18:26and screaming
18:27loud enough
18:29for people outside
18:30of the van
18:30to hear him.
18:33There's a collision
18:34with a parked vehicle.
18:36Claudio still hung on,
18:38being dragged along
18:39at speeds of up to 60 miles an hour.
18:42There's a second collision
18:44that does knock Claudio off.
18:47And that ultimately
18:48is where Claudio dies.
18:49Eyewitnesses were
18:54reporting
18:55a van
18:56driving off
18:57at speed.
18:58I need an ambulance
18:59and someone's been here
19:00and the guy's driven off.
19:02Is he breathing?
19:03I can't feel the pulse.
19:0842-year-old Claudio
19:10Carol Condor
19:11had been killed.
19:14Detective Sergeant Adrian
19:16Bell and his team
19:17needed to urgently find
19:19this dangerous driver
19:20who'd left Claudio
19:21for dead.
19:23It was imperative
19:24really that the police
19:26deployed as many resources
19:27in the area
19:28to find out
19:29what had happened.
19:30The clock was ticking.
19:33We got multiple calls
19:35to service to the police.
19:36There was a van
19:37that had crashed
19:38into an unattended vehicle
19:39and witnesses
19:40had said
19:41that they'd seen
19:41a driver
19:42and then there was
19:43a male
19:43hanging on
19:44for dear life
19:45in the front passenger
19:46side of the vehicle.
19:50Claudio's identified
19:50through personal possessions
19:52including a phone.
19:54When they accessed
19:55the phone
19:56police found an app
19:57which connected
19:58to a GPS tracker
19:59on Claudio's van.
20:01We quickly
20:01identified the location
20:03of where the van
20:04had parked up
20:05after the incident.
20:06so we deployed resources
20:09to that area
20:10to see
20:10if we could
20:12find
20:13who had dumped
20:14the vehicle
20:15on a cul-de-sac
20:16in Leeds.
20:18Once we'd established
20:19where that van was
20:21and established
20:22the van was empty
20:22it became very clear
20:23this was a theft
20:24that had gone
20:25tragically wrong.
20:28We set in place
20:29some intensive
20:30house-to-house
20:31investigation
20:31to try and capture
20:32as many witnesses
20:33that may have seen
20:34that van
20:34and anyone connected to it.
20:36As part of that
20:37we've made sure
20:37that everyone knows
20:38the seriousness
20:39of what's occurred.
20:41This is about
20:41the death of someone.
20:45The CCTV
20:46they're looking at
20:47is anything
20:47from ring doorbell footage
20:49to security cameras
20:50someone might have
20:51up on the side
20:51of a house
20:52to council footage
20:53to anything else
20:55that might be
20:55in that area.
20:57We ended up with
20:59110 hours
21:00of CCTV.
21:02That CCTV
21:03started to tell us
21:05the story
21:05about what had
21:06happened
21:07and how
21:08Claudio had died.
21:09Police needed
21:10a name for the driver
21:11and they believed
21:12someone in that
21:13local area
21:13must recognise him.
21:15The cul-de-sac
21:16where the van
21:17was dumped
21:18overlooked quite a lot
21:19of residential properties
21:20so it was important
21:22that we dispatched
21:23our specialist detectives
21:25to that area
21:25as quickly as possible.
21:26That then span out
21:29a phone call
21:30into the incident room.
21:31That phone call
21:32from someone
21:33gave us a name
21:34of the possible offender.
21:37That name was
21:38Mark Ross.
21:41The clock was ticking.
21:43We had a named suspect
21:45for a murder investigation
21:46which was
21:48less than
21:4824 hours old.
21:51The first thing we do
21:51is look and see
21:52who he is.
21:54He matches
21:54the description,
21:55he matches the person
21:56showing on CCTV
21:58and he's well known
21:59for theft of
22:00and theft from
22:01motor vehicle
22:02within Leeds area.
22:03It was all
22:04starting to line up.
22:06Once Mark Ross
22:07was declared a suspect
22:08officers began
22:09building a detailed
22:10picture of him
22:11including his movements
22:12and any known
22:13associates and addresses.
22:16We identified
22:17an address
22:18we believed
22:19he was staying at.
22:21So we got
22:22some specialist
22:23officers
22:23and they
22:25were dispatched
22:26to this address.
22:28Mark,
22:29hands please,
22:30mate.
22:33Just for me
22:33in time, Mark.
22:35You're under arrest
22:35on suspicion of murder.
22:36We hit our addresses
22:37and we arrested him
22:38on suspicion of murder.
22:41Ross was stunned
22:43when we went
22:44through the right door
22:45but to me
22:47he looks resigned.
22:48We've got him
22:50and the relief
22:52of the incident room
22:53of knowing
22:54that we'd caught
22:55the individual
22:56so quickly
22:56there's no greater
22:58feeling.
23:00With the suspect
23:00under arrest
23:01investigators
23:02combed through
23:03110 hours
23:05of CCTV
23:05to determine
23:07how Ross
23:07had identified
23:08Claudio
23:09and his van.
23:11CCTV
23:11clearly showed
23:13our suspect
23:14Mark Ross
23:15following
23:16the victim
23:17to his next
23:18delivery
23:19and it's at
23:20that point
23:21that he has
23:22found the opportunity
23:23to jump in the
23:23driver's seat
23:24and take the vehicle.
23:26He wanted
23:26everyone to believe
23:28that this was
23:30a tragic accident
23:31and that he didn't
23:33know that Claudio
23:34was in the vehicle.
23:35I believed
23:36that we could show
23:37he knew full well
23:38Claudio was there
23:39and through his actions
23:40had intended him
23:41really serious harm.
23:42To help prove
23:46Ross's intent
23:47before a jury
23:48detectives enlisted
23:50the help of
23:50telematics expert
23:52Detective Constable
23:53Alex Smith.
23:55I provide
23:56strategic and tactical
23:57digital advice
23:58for the major crime
23:59teams here at
23:59West Yorkshire Police.
24:00It's a new technique
24:01and it's cutting edge.
24:03This was the second
24:04time that such
24:05telematics evidence
24:07was used in court.
24:08We were able to
24:09assess the speed
24:10of the vehicle
24:11leading up to
24:12at the time
24:12of the collision
24:13and as well
24:14we could see
24:14the g-force
24:15that was being
24:15exerted on that
24:16vehicle at that
24:17time as well
24:18as how hard
24:19the driver
24:19was accelerating
24:20and braking
24:21which provided
24:21good analysis
24:22for showing
24:23his manner of
24:23driving
24:23alluding to
24:24his intentions
24:25at the time.
24:27The vehicle
24:27was doing
24:2856.5 miles an hour
24:30in the lead up
24:31to the collision
24:31which was far
24:32above the speed limit.
24:35What I was also
24:36able to explain
24:36was how harsh
24:37acceleration
24:38and braking
24:38indicated that
24:40potentially the
24:41defendant was
24:41trying to throw
24:42Mr. Condor
24:43from the vehicle.
24:46That data
24:47showed that
24:48Mark Ross
24:49was driving
24:49dangerously
24:50from the very
24:51point that he
24:52stole that vehicle
24:53all the way
24:54until Claudio
24:55was tragically
24:56found dead
24:57at the side
24:58of the road.
24:59On the 21st
25:00of August
25:01just 24 hours
25:02after the incident
25:03Mark Ross
25:04was arrested
25:05and charged
25:06with the murder
25:07of Claudio
25:08Carol Condor
25:08and remanded
25:09in custody
25:10until his trial
25:11in the spring
25:12of 2025.
25:15Mark Ross
25:15entered an early
25:17guilty plea
25:17for manslaughter
25:18which was denied
25:19by the Crown
25:20because we felt
25:21that this was
25:22a clear case
25:23of murder.
25:25He showed
25:25no emotion
25:26at all
25:27with regard
25:28to the gravity
25:28of what he'd done.
25:30One thing
25:30that was quite clear
25:32from the start
25:32that the motive
25:34appeared to be
25:35his desire
25:36to steal
25:38a vehicle
25:38in order
25:39to pay off
25:39some of his debt.
25:41He wanted
25:41the jury
25:42to believe that.
25:45But they didn't
25:46and on the 14th
25:47of March
25:482025
25:48Mark Ross
25:50was found
25:50guilty of murder
25:51by a majority
25:52verdict
25:53and jailed
25:54for life
25:54to serve
25:55a minimum
25:56of 30 years
25:57in prison.
25:58He showed
25:59no remorse
26:00throughout.
26:01That shows
26:02the measure
26:02of the individual
26:03that we were
26:04dealing with.
26:05Although I cannot
26:06be sure
26:06you intended
26:07to kill
26:08Mr Condor
26:08your actions
26:10must have
26:10terrified him
26:11in the last
26:12minute of his life.
26:15You ignored
26:15his pleas to stop
26:17and callously
26:18murdered him.
26:20No court
26:21can undo
26:22the harm
26:23you have caused.
26:24The right outcome
26:25has happened
26:26in this particular case.
26:27It was clearly
26:28a murder and not.
26:30Manslaughter
26:30was Mark.
26:31Ross wanted
26:32people to believe.
26:33This has been
26:34heartbreaking
26:35for everyone
26:36involved
26:36but mostly
26:38for the family
26:39of Claudio.
26:41I lost
26:42the person
26:42with whom
26:43I'd planned
26:44my whole future.
26:46With the loss
26:46of Claudio
26:47the dream
26:48of getting married
26:49buying a house
26:50and living
26:51a quiet life
26:52died.
26:54This was a
26:55genuinely shocking
26:55case
26:56but the only
26:57crumb of comfort
26:58is that
26:59Claudio's killer
27:00is behind bars.
27:01Well great
27:06detective work
27:07after a truly
27:08heartbreaking crime.
27:10Yeah it really is.
27:11Now black cabs
27:12are an iconic
27:14part of the
27:15London transport
27:15system.
27:16There are over
27:1714,000 of them
27:19on the streets
27:20and now some of them
27:21are being repurposed
27:22to help out
27:23with health care.
27:24The team at
27:25London Skies
27:26St Thomas's
27:27NHS Trust
27:28have been
27:28turning them
27:29into taxi
27:30ambulances
27:31and you can see
27:32one of them
27:33here alongside
27:34John Brockbank
27:35who's head of
27:35non-emergency
27:36patient transport
27:38at the Trust.
27:39What a great idea
27:40and just tell us
27:41a bit about it.
27:42This is fabulous.
27:43We engaged with
27:44LEBC, the London
27:45Electric Vehicle Company
27:46to introduce
27:4812 of these vehicles
27:49to our fleet
27:49as wheelchair
27:50accessible vehicles.
27:51We did a successful
27:52trial at the end
27:53of last year
27:53and they've been
27:54introduced since
27:54February this year.
27:56I mean it is
27:57a brilliant idea
27:58but where did it
27:59all come about?
28:00It came about
28:00because we needed
28:01to replace our
28:01wheelchair accessible
28:02vehicles and we
28:03were looking at
28:03the market
28:04engaging with
28:04suppliers,
28:05engaging with
28:05vehicle manufacturers
28:06to see what was
28:07on the market.
28:08There wasn't one
28:09that truly fitted
28:09what we wanted
28:10and we engaged
28:11with our drivers
28:11as well
28:12and it was one
28:12of those workshops
28:14that we actually
28:14came up with the idea
28:15that these vehicles
28:16run around on our
28:17streets and could
28:18actually do what
28:19we needed.
28:20What's the reaction
28:21been like from
28:22people then?
28:23It's been very
28:23positive.
28:24We've had people
28:25try to flag them
28:26down on the street.
28:27Have you had
28:27taxis?
28:29We have had them
28:30branded so hopefully
28:31people don't make
28:31no mistake going
28:32forward but from
28:33patients there's been
28:34very positive feedback
28:35and also from the
28:36drivers as well.
28:37And also great
28:38for the environment
28:39as well.
28:40Yes, they're brilliant
28:40for the environment.
28:41They're an electric
28:42drivetrain.
28:43They do have a
28:45petrol range
28:46extender if we
28:46need to use them
28:47but they are very
28:48beneficial to our
28:49net zero goals
28:50and the benefit as
28:51well is they have
28:52every single charge
28:53socket on the front
28:53so we can charge
28:54them up anywhere
28:55we need to.
28:55So that's all
28:56what's under the
28:57bonnet there
28:57but what's inside
28:58the cab?
28:58Tell me about
28:59something.
28:59So inside we
29:00haven't had to do
29:00any modifications
29:01here.
29:02The vehicle comes
29:03with a lot of
29:03accessible features.
29:05It has grab
29:05handles to help
29:06people in and out.
29:07There's a swivel
29:08seat that swivels out
29:09to help people get
29:09into the vehicle.
29:10We have wheelchair
29:11accessible tie down
29:12points as well as
29:13a wheelchair ramp to
29:14enable easy access.
29:16We have a lovely
29:16big door that
29:17enables us to move
29:18patients in and out.
29:19Even just that?
29:20It's so helpful
29:21isn't it?
29:21Yes it is.
29:22And the ramps that
29:23can come down.
29:23It does help us move
29:24patients in and out.
29:25There isn't a huge
29:26drop to get patients
29:27in and also patients
29:28have full control of
29:30the heating system
29:30here as well and
29:32there's also a hearing
29:32loop that helps the
29:33driver.
29:34And as well as they
29:35are cabs they're
29:36designed for drivers
29:37to be in for hours.
29:38They're very comfortable
29:38for our drivers as well.
29:40I mean it's such a
29:41good idea.
29:41It's the first time
29:42this is being done
29:43within that cab isn't
29:44it?
29:44Yes.
29:45It's a real lifeline
29:46for patients but also
29:48saving money for the
29:49NHS.
29:49Yes it's done so far
29:51about 20,000 journeys
29:52covered about 91,000
29:54miles.
29:55Primarily used for
29:56renal dialysis patients
29:57that qualify for the
29:58patient transport.
30:00So it has been very
30:01beneficial to all our
30:02patients.
30:02Yeah and as Steph says
30:03that's a lifeline for
30:04those particular patients
30:05they rely on this
30:06don't they?
30:06They do and it's nice
30:08because it gives a
30:08level of comfort and
30:09there's been very
30:10positive feedback from
30:11the news in the
30:11vehicle.
30:12Brilliant.
30:13Fantastic.
30:14Absolutely brilliant
30:14scheme.
30:15We'll buy it.
30:17Thank you very much
30:18done.
30:19Now we're off to
30:20Brighton to hear about
30:22another fantastic scheme
30:24using the power of
30:25sport to help kids who
30:26are struggling at school.
30:31I'm Paul Barber.
30:32I'm Chief Executive
30:33of Brighton Hove Albion
30:34Football Club and Chair
30:35of Football Beyond
30:36Borders.
30:38Football Beyond Borders
30:39is a charity that
30:40supports young people
30:41that are in danger of
30:43expulsion and as a
30:44consequence of that
30:45perhaps not finding it
30:46so easy to get jobs.
30:48But also some kids just
30:49come along for the
30:50connection, for the
30:51camaraderie, for the
30:53spirit of being involved
30:54in football.
30:56Football's a little bit
30:57like a Trojan horse.
30:59The programme's not
30:59about football.
31:00We use football as a way
31:01of capturing their
31:02attention.
31:03Young people do
31:04typically struggle to
31:06open up about their
31:07emotions.
31:08Football Beyond Borders
31:09practitioners provide a
31:11consistent ear and voice
31:12and then they're always
31:14there.
31:15All right, are we ready
31:16to get started boys?
31:17Who would like to read
31:17out on the board?
31:19Yes.
31:20We work with boys and
31:21girls from year 8 all
31:23the way up in year 11.
31:25You're going to look at
31:25the different images.
31:27Ask yourself, in these
31:27jobs, do you think that
31:28these people would need a
31:29lot of qualifications for
31:30these jobs?
31:31What type of
31:32qualifications?
31:33Yeah?
31:33What kind of experience?
31:35What kind of expertise?
31:37We have our own internal
31:38curriculum.
31:39We provide transferable
31:40skills for the young
31:42people that they can use
31:44within school, in the
31:45wider community and in
31:47life.
31:48So we have three
31:49different normal
31:49criteria.
31:50People who are at risk
31:51of being permanently
31:51excluded.
31:52The second would be
31:53passive learners.
31:54So young people who are
31:55maybe not integrated into
31:57the wider school community
31:58to help them feel a sense
32:00of belonging.
32:01And then the final one
32:01would be role models.
32:03Young people who are
32:03thriving in school.
32:05Are you ready to play
32:06football?
32:09Let's go, let's go.
32:11The football always
32:12mirrors the classroom.
32:13So the learnings never
32:14stop and we get the young
32:16people to play, but we
32:17also incentivise situations
32:20and scenarios that kind of
32:22allow them to really
32:23learn.
32:26Football Beyond Borders
32:27practitioners provide
32:28an intervention and
32:29provide some of these
32:30young people with the
32:31support they need and
32:32hopefully steering them
32:33back to a pathway that
32:35leads them to have a
32:36better life in the future.
32:39During summer of year
32:40eight, so I was 13 years
32:41old, I was held at
32:43knife point.
32:44They call it a Z case,
32:45a zombie knife.
32:47Obviously I was scared,
32:49frightened.
32:49I was 13.
32:50I was never involved in
32:53that life, never really
32:54saw that sort of side of
32:56things and after it was
32:58guard up, everyone's out
33:00to get me sort of thing.
33:01School became a lot more
33:03challenging.
33:04I would get into a lot more
33:05arguments with my teachers
33:06because the slightest thing
33:07would trigger me and that
33:09led to getting excluded a
33:10couple of times and those
33:11punishments, if you get too
33:13many of them, you get
33:13permanently excluded and it
33:14was like leading towards
33:16that if I continued how I
33:18was going.
33:18When I first met Yasin, it
33:21was at a crossroads of
33:22making really life-defining
33:24decisions.
33:26He was on the verge of
33:27exclusion.
33:28Most teachers would
33:29describe him as challenging
33:30and the reality was that
33:32Yasin's disruptiveness was a
33:36form of communication and
33:37Yasin was just crying out
33:39for help.
33:41He went through the
33:42curriculum.
33:43We had a lot of one-to-one
33:44support, a lot of therapeutic
33:45intervention.
33:46He had that level of
33:47consistency, the congruence.
33:49But to a certain extent, he's
33:50just so intelligent.
33:52It is within him.
33:56I can't remember one single
33:58week where I did not see
34:00Pedro in.
34:01The level of consistency and
34:02care was like to the highest
34:05standard there.
34:06Probably top three most
34:08important people in my life
34:10because he always showed me
34:11like the different paths there
34:13is.
34:14I can't sneak on Yasin's
34:16future.
34:17I think that's a question for
34:18him.
34:18How is he doing?
34:20Exceptionally well.
34:20Yasin is thriving.
34:22I left secondary school and I
34:25had done electrical
34:26installations level two and
34:29level three the past two
34:30years now.
34:32And I went on to work with
34:35Football Beyond Borders one
34:36day a week.
34:37First, boys, before we get
34:38into the football, we're going
34:40to do a little teamwork-based
34:41activity.
34:43Boys, we ready?
34:43Yeah.
34:44Three, two, one, go.
34:49I feel like a very proud
34:50uncle every time I see him.
34:52He just puts a smile on my
34:53face.
34:53I always smile ear to ear
34:55every time I just look at
34:56him.
34:57I feel blessed and privileged
34:58to be part of his journey.
35:01He has the mental fortitude and
35:02the capacity to just thrive in
35:05any area.
35:11Yasin's story shows that the
35:14education is vital.
35:18I'm very proud about the work
35:20that Football Beyond Borders
35:21does because it's a necessary
35:24intervention for many, many
35:26young people across the
35:27country.
35:28What we can do is provide that
35:30additional level of support
35:31that maybe that young person
35:33hasn't had, isn't getting,
35:35can't find to get them through
35:37difficult stages in their life
35:38and hopefully provide them
35:39with the foundation for a
35:40better future.
35:43So even though Yasin's now in a
35:45much better place than he was
35:46in his past, Pedro is still
35:49there to support and guide if
35:50and when he needs it.
35:52And that's the beauty of this,
35:53is that you can actually
35:54maintain these connections
35:55through a very long period of
35:57time.
35:58Football Beyond Borders,
35:59staff and practitioners are
36:00just incredible people.
36:02Yasin isn't an exception.
36:03He's proof of what happens
36:06when people feel safe enough
36:07to grow up on their own
36:08terms.
36:09If Football Beyond Borders
36:10didn't come into my life at the
36:12moment, I did.
36:14God knows what I'd be today.
36:20Wow, what a great scheme.
36:22Well, when we think of hotels,
36:24we often picture comfort,
36:26relaxation, maybe time away with
36:28your loved ones.
36:29But behind the scenes,
36:30these everyday spaces can
36:31sometimes be misused in ways
36:34that put children and young
36:35people at risk.
36:37Well, to talk about this, I'm
36:38joined by Phil Ashford, the
36:39National Development
36:40Coordinator for the Child
36:42Sexual Exploitation Task
36:43Force, and DI Tim Hudson
36:45from the Humberside CSE team.
36:48Thank you both for coming in.
36:50So, Phil, you were part of a
36:51team setting up Operation
36:53Make Safe, which is connected
36:55to tackling this.
36:56Tell us a bit about it.
36:58So, yeah, in 2011 in South
37:00Yorkshire, we set up Operation
37:02Make Safe to help prevent
37:03child sexual exploitation and
37:04abuse taking place in hotels.
37:07Came into work on a Monday
37:08morning to find a high-risk
37:09missing child had been located
37:11in a hotel over the weekend.
37:13Fortunately, that incident
37:14turned out to be less sinister
37:15than it could have been, but it
37:16alerted us to the risk that
37:18hotels were being unwittingly
37:19used by perpetrators to
37:21traffic and exploit children.
37:23So, we began to work with
37:25local hoteliers to support
37:27their staff to be able to
37:28better identify the signs of
37:30a vulnerable child and know
37:31how to respond to those
37:33concerns and making sure that
37:34the police response was
37:35appropriate as well.
37:36Yeah.
37:36So, this idea came from, as
37:37you say, this missing child
37:39that was found in a hotel.
37:41This is a national problem
37:42though, isn't it?
37:43How do you even begin to
37:44tackle it?
37:44Absolutely.
37:45So, Operation Make Safe has
37:47now been adopted by the forces
37:48across England and Wales.
37:49We work really closely with the
37:51hospitality industry.
37:52I'm really grateful for their
37:53ongoing support around this
37:55where we're able to uplift
37:57this intervention, make sure
37:59that staff are aware of
38:01potential risks and that the
38:02police forces respond
38:04appropriately, as I say.
38:05So, it's really important
38:06that it's a national initiative.
38:08Yeah, a national initiative.
38:09Tim, but you are part of the
38:12team in charge of the
38:13Humberside side of this.
38:14Tell us a bit about what you're
38:15doing in Humberside.
38:16So, at Humberside Police, we
38:17recognise the importance of the
38:19work that Operation Make Safe is
38:20doing and the impact that CSE has.
38:23So, we launched our own local
38:24initiative called Look Again in
38:252024.
38:27In the May of the same year, we
38:29appointed our Operation Make
38:31Safe dedicated lead.
38:33As part of that role, we engage
38:34with businesses across the
38:35hospitality sector.
38:36We engage with taxes, local
38:38councils, firstly to raise
38:40awareness of what CSE is, how
38:42to recognise those signs and
38:43deliver training within those
38:44organisations.
38:46And through that training, we
38:48build the confidence with those
38:49businesses to report into police.
38:52And one of the things that we
38:53always ask staff to be alert to is
38:55the signs of exploitation as
38:56people are coming into the
38:58hotel.
38:58So, typical signs such as an adult
39:01booking in with a child or a
39:03young person who doesn't appear to
39:04be a family member.
39:05If it's a cash booking, a last
39:07minute booking, if they're asking
39:08for a room that's in an unusual
39:09location, such as an annex or near a
39:12fire exit.
39:13And then we train staff how to
39:15engage with those children,
39:17questions to ask and how to
39:18report it in as well.
39:19Yeah, really interesting.
39:20And I mean, you've both talked
39:21about what you're doing with
39:23businesses and other people
39:25connected to this.
39:26But what about if you're someone
39:27who's going to a hotel yourself
39:29to use it?
39:30Is there anything we can do as the
39:31public to watch out for this?
39:32Yeah, absolutely.
39:33I'd ask the public to always be
39:34alert to it.
39:35And if they've got any concerns,
39:36then please do report it.
39:38We'd rather know about something
39:39and it be nothing than not be told
39:41about something and there'd be a
39:43case of exploitation.
39:44Yeah, so and to do that, who
39:46should you contact then?
39:47So the easiest way to do is just
39:49ring into our force control room,
39:50which is 101 if you don't believe
39:52it's immediate or 999 if you think
39:54that there's an immediate risk to
39:55that person.
39:55Yeah, I guess you have to be really
39:57sensitive with this though, don't
39:59you, when you're looking for the
40:00signs, because it might be
40:02totally innocent.
40:03Yeah, we understand this.
40:05It's a really difficult position
40:06that we're putting hotel staff in as
40:08well as members of the public.
40:09I think what we both kind of ask the
40:11public to reflect on is that we do
40:13ask for a reason.
40:14Unfortunately, not every child goes
40:15to a hotel for a happy, memorable
40:17weekend away.
40:19So in the instances where staff do
40:21ask you difficult, embarrassing
40:23questions, please understand there's
40:25a really good reason behind that.
40:26We would always expect the staff to
40:28use their training and approach this
40:30professionally.
40:32But just those couple of additional
40:34questions, hopefully that makes sure
40:36that everyone who stays in hotels has a
40:37good weekend.
40:38Yeah, it's a really good point.
40:40And so in terms of the success of this,
40:42how's it going?
40:43How do you measure that as well?
40:44Well, we measure success by the number
40:46of businesses that are now engaging
40:47with us, which is over 70 across our
40:50region, which ranges from small local
40:52businesses through to national chains.
40:55We've delivered training to over 100
40:57staff members, which is really key.
41:00We're starting to see some really great
41:01results where we're finding out about
41:02children in hotels as well, which allows
41:04my team to target and identify these
41:06perpetrators and importantly safeguard those
41:07children.
41:09And to also gauge the success of how the
41:10training is landing, we do safeguarding
41:12engagement exercises, which is where
41:14plainclothes officers will go out with
41:16a young person or a cadet.
41:18They'll exhibit the signs typically
41:20associated with exploitation.
41:22We give staff the chance to put that
41:24training to the test.
41:25And what we're starting to see now is
41:27that we're receiving more reports into
41:29our force control room, which I think
41:31speaks to the success.
41:31It really does speak to the success.
41:33Yeah.
41:33Thank you so much for coming in to talk
41:35about this.
41:35If you want to find out more about
41:36Operation Makes It, you can do that on
