Raped Girl 'Not Treated As Human' By Couple

By Becky Johnson, North of England Correspondent

A couple have been jailed for a total of 18 years for trafficking a deaf and mute girl into the UK, where she was repeatedly raped and subjected to forced labour.

Ilyas Ashar, 84, and his wife Tallat Ashar, 68, forced the vulnerable youngster to sleep in the cellar of their home in Greater Manchester, where she was beaten and slapped, and led a life of domestic servitude for almost a decade.

The girl was also used to steal more than £30,000 in benefits on her behalf.

She was even taught enough sign language by the family so she could agree to the benefit money being handed over.

Their victim had no family or friends in the UK and had never been to school in Pakistan or Britain.

Ilyas Ashar also routinely raped the girl from the moment he brought her into the UK from Pakistan, aged around 10, in June 2000.

Ashar was convicted of 13 specimen counts of rape by a jury last week, though the court heard the rapes happened "many, many times more".

He had also been convicted at an earlier trial of two counts of trafficking a person into the UK for exploitation, two counts of furnishing false information to obtain a benefit and one of permitting furnishing of false information to obtain a benefit.

He was jailed for 13 years at Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester.

His wife was jailed for five years for two counts of trafficking a person into the UK for exploitation, and four counts of furnishing false information to obtain a benefit.

Their daughter, Faaiza Ashar, 46, who was found guilty at an earlier trial of two counts of furnishing false information to obtain a benefit, and one count of permitting furnishing of false information to obtain a benefit, was given a 12 month community order with 300 hours of unpaid work.

Passing sentence Judge Peter Lakin said: "You Ilyas Ashar and you Tallat Ashar did not treat this girl as a human being.

"To you she was merely an object to be used, abused and cast aside at will.

"You took full advantage of her extreme vulnerability.

"You exploited her physically, you exploited her mentally and you exploited her economically.

"There was throughout a distasteful undercurrent of violence and intimidation.

"All that she had in her life was the love of her family and her own human dignity. You two took that away from her. You consigned her to a life of misery and degradation.

"Throughout these proceedings not one of you have shown any remorse.

"You are concerned with your own selfish, self-centred interests.

"You Ilyas and Tallat Ashar are deeply unpleasant, highly manipulative and dishonest people."

When police and local trading standards raided the Ashar family home in Cromwell Road, Eccles, in Salford, on June 8, 2009, officers were "shocked" to discover the girl asleep in the cold and dark cellar.

One officer likened her behaviour to that of an "animal" - not allowed to sit on the furniture - and an indication of her status in the house.

She was taken from the house and is now doing well with the help of social services, the court heard.

A proceeds of crime hearing will be held next year to recoup the benefits stolen by the Ashars.

They had fought the case at every turn, mounting a series of legal challenges and appealing but failing to overturn their convictions at the Court of Appeal.

Stuart Hall Re-Arrested: New Child Sex Claims

Disgraced broadcaster Stuart Hall has been re-arrested and is being questioned by detectives over new, more serious, child sex allegations.

The former It's A Knockout presenter was taken to a police station from prison, where he is serving a 30-month jail term for sexually abusing 13 victims, one as young as nine, over a period of nearly 20 years.

The latest allegations relate to two alleged female victims, aged between 12 and 15 at the time, according to Lancashire police.

Sky's Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt said the alleged offences took place in Manchester and Derbyshire between 1974 and 1980.

"One of these two women claims that he raped her over several years on a regular basis," said Brunt

A police spokeswoman said: "This morning an 83-year-old man from Wilmslow in Cheshire was produced from prison and arrested by detectives on suspicion of a number of sexual offences.

"The allegations are historic and relate to two alleged female victims aged between 12 and 15 at the time.

"They allegedly took place in the Manchester and Derbyshire area between 1974 and 1980. We are not prepared to discuss further details at this stage.

"The man will be interviewed at a Lancashire police station during the course of the day.

"We take all allegations of sexual abuse extremely seriously.

"We would encourage people with any information about sexual abuse or who has been a victim of sexual abuse to come forward and report their concerns confident in the knowledge it will be investigated appropriately and with sensitivity."

It comes after it was confirmed that Hall had been stripped of his OBE for broadcasting and charity in the wake of his conviction for sex offences against children.

Hall was initially given a 15-month prison term at Preston Crown Court, but the Court of Appeal ruled that the sentence was "inadequate" and it was doubled in July.

Lord Chief Justice Lord Judge said his initial denials of his crimes were a "seriously aggravating" feature in the case.

In April, Hall, from Wilmslow, Cheshire, eventually admitted 14 counts of indecent assault against girls aged between nine and 17, and a reporting ban on his pleas was lifted the following month.

He had previously been strident in condemning the accusations, which he labelled "pernicious, callous, cruel and above all spurious".

Hall, whose full name is James Stuart Hall, said he had endured "a living nightmare" and, but for his "very loving family", may have considered taking his own life.

He was a familiar face and voice in British broadcasting for half a century, and his eccentric and erudite football match summaries made him a cult figure on BBC Radio 5 Live.

He also wrote a weekly sport column for the Radio Times magazine up until his arrest.

Benefits Fraudster Living In Spain Arrested

By Martin Brunt, Crime Correspondent

A fugitive benefit fraudster exposed by Sky News has been arrested in Spain and is likely to be brought back soon to face justice in Britain.

Norman Brennan, 70, was held at his home in Mijas on the Costa del Sol five years after admitting crimes and jumping bail at Liverpool Crown court.

His ex-pat neighbours had alerted UK authorities to his presence there, but nothing had been done to arrest him until we confronted him three weeks ago.

It's understood Brennan had been receiving his old age pension for most of his time in Spain, even receiving letters from the Department for Work and Pensions in Whitehall.

When four Spanish police officers arrived at his house last night he had just been driven away by a friend and there were fears he had slipped the net.

But they were wating when he returned an hour or so later and took him into custody.

Brennan bought two properties when he arrived in Spain in 2008

One neighbour said: "About time, too. Several of us have been telling police and officials in the UK exactly where this man has been living, but we have been ignored. And yet we keep reading how the British government is supposed to be clamping down on benefit cheats."

When we told Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith of the scandal earlier this month he described it as "outrageous" and promised to investigate.

Brennan is expected to be taken to Madrid and appear in court there before being extradited to the UK, where he will go back to court to be sentenced.

In 2008 he admitted seven fraud charges after claiming £120,000 in housing and council tax benefit, Jobseekers' Allowance and pension credits.  

He had pretended to be his brother Leslie who was living in Germany.

His neighbours in Spain insited that over the past three years they alerted Merseyside Police, the DWP, Crimestoppers, Spanish Police and Sefton Council which prosecuted Brennan.

Crimestoppers said they did pass on information on Brennan to other agencies.

The former joiner bought two adjoining properties beside a gold course when he arrived in Spain several weeks after jumping bail.

When we confronted him three weeks ago he appeared to spend most of his time indoors, emerging occassionally to walk his dog Ben and to drink at a nearby open-air bar.

He refused to discuss his life on the run.

Facebook Pulls Beheading Video After Backlash

Facebook has backed down over the posting of videos depicting beheadings after being branded "irresponsible" by Prime Minister David Cameron.

The social media website said it had "re-examined" the issue and removed a beheading video after concluding that it "improperly and irresponsibly glorifies violence".

It vowed to "strengthen the enforcement" of policies on graphic content, removing posts which celebrate violence and taking into account whether they are being shared "responsibly".

This could include warnings about their content or blocking underage viewers from accessing them.

Mr Cameron welcomed the move, but made clear he would be waiting to see whether the new approach was sufficient to protect children from being exposed to the gory films.

He wrote on Twitter: "I'm pleased Facebook has changed its approach on beheading videos. The test is now to ensure their policy is robust in protecting children."

David Cameron said he was 'pleased' by the rethink

Facebook sparked a storm when it lifted a temporary ban imposed in May on beheading videos, on the grounds that the site is used to share information about world events.

The ban was sparked by complaints over a video of a woman being beheaded by a Mexican drug cartel, but has now been removed.

The company said it would still take down posts which celebrated or encouraged beheadings, but critics called for a rethink.

Mr Cameron said: "It's irresponsible of Facebook to post beheading videos, especially without a warning. They must explain their actions to worried parents."

The company has now issued a new statement, clarifying its policy.

It said: "People turn to Facebook to share their experiences and to raise awareness about issues important to them.

"Sometimes, those experiences and issues involve graphic content that is of public interest or concern, such as human rights abuses, acts of terrorism and other violence.

"When people share this type of graphic content, it is often to condemn it. If it is being shared for sadistic pleasure or to celebrate violence, Facebook removes it.

"As part of our effort to combat the glorification of violence on Facebook, we are strengthening the enforcement of our policies.

"First, when we review content that is reported to us, we will take a more holistic look at the context surrounding a violent image or video, and will remove content that celebrates violence.

"Second, we will consider whether the person posting the content is sharing it responsibly, such as accompanying the video or image with a warning and sharing it with an age-appropriate audience.

"Based on these enhanced standards, we have re-examined recent reports of graphic content and have concluded that this content improperly and irresponsibly glorifies violence. For this reason, we have removed it.

"Going forward, we ask that people who share graphic content for the purpose of condemning it do so in a responsible manner, carefully selecting their audience and warning them about the nature of the content so they can make an informed choice about it."

Primark Death: Woman Falls From Liverpool Store

A woman has died after falling from a third-floor balcony at a Primark store in Liverpool.

Officers were called to the clothing store in Church Street by paramedics at 6pm on Tuesday.

The 57-year-old woman was found at the bottom of the escalators on the ground floor.

Moments earlier, she had been seen on the balcony next to the escalators on the third floor, police said.

A doctor, who was in the area at the time, treated the woman at the scene before paramedics arrived.

She was taken to the Royal University Liverpool Hospital in a critical condition, but was pronounced dead a short time later.

A police spokesman said: "Merseyside Police can confirm that an investigation is under way after a woman was found with serious injuries inside a clothes store in Liverpool city centre on Tuesday evening."

A post-mortem examination will be carried out to establish a cause of death.

The police spokesman added: "Detectives are speaking to witnesses and viewing CCTV to establish the full circumstances of the incident."

Anyone with any relevant information about the incident should call St Anne Street CID on 0151 777 4065 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

At the same store five years ago a three-year-old girl fell through a gap between the escalators.

She survived the fall, but suffered multiple injuries, including a broken arm and leg.

Grangemouth Job Losses As Chemical Plant To Shut

The owner of the Grangemouth petrochemical plant is to close the operation permanently and keep shut, for now, its major oil refinery amid a continuing pay dispute.

The move threatens up to 800 jobs at the petrochemicals business, which makes products used in everyday items such as packaging and plastic bags, unless it can be sold.

The Grangemouth site's owner Ineos said while it would retain the refinery, which produces 80% of Scotland's petrol and diesel, production would remain shut down until the threat of industrial action was removed.

The Government said there was no current threat of fuel shortages in Scotland because of contingency planning.

Workers were given news of the closure at a meeting with Ineos petrochemicals chairman Calum MacLean following the passing of a deadline on a survival plan which asked all Grangemouth staff to accept changes to pensions and other terms and conditions.

The Prime Minister described the closure as "disappointing"

The Unite union said around 680 of the site's total 1,370-strong workforce rejected the proposals, which included a pay freeze for 2014-16, removal of a bonus up to 2016, a reduced shift allowance and ending of the final salary pension scheme.

Following the meeting with staff, one worker who did not want to be named, said: "I feel sick. It's gone."

The worker, who appeared close to tears at points, told Sky News he could only listen to about 10 minutes of the meeting, before he felt he had to leave.

"There's no livelihoods left and we don't even know if we're going to get redundancy out of it. I hope they're happy with themselves," he said.

More than 1,300 people are currently employed at Grangemouth by Ineos

Unite has accused the company's owner Jim Ratcliffe of playing "Russian roulette" with the future of Grangemouth, the biggest industrial site in Scotland, and said it would back any efforts by the Scottish Government to find a new buyer for the petrochemical complex.

In a statement, Ineos blamed the union's opposition to its survival plan for the decision to close the petrochemical plant - saying shareholders could no longer fund it.

Mr MacLean said: "This is a hugely sad day for everyone at Grangemouth. We have tried our hardest to convince employees of the need for change but unsuccessfully.

"There was only ever going to be one outcome to this story if nothing changed and we continued to lose money.

"We still struggle to comprehend what has happened here. The employees were offered a chance to secure substantial new investment in the company, preserve their jobs and keep their salaries. Sadly this will no longer be the case."

The company added: "As a result of this decision, the directors of the petrochemicals business have had no option but to engage the services of a liquidator. It is anticipated that a liquidation process will commence in a week."

Energy Secretary Ed Davey said: "I am saddened to hear of Ineos' plans to place the petrochemicals business into administration, particularly because of the impact it will have on the workforce and local community.

"While respecting Ineos' right to make this decision, it is regrettable that both parties have not managed to negotiate a fair and equitable settlement that delivers a viable business model for the plant.

"Even at this late stage, I urge Ineos to continue dialogue with the workforce and Government will offer help and support with this.

"Ineos have informed us that the refinery will stay open and the management wish to restart full operations as soon as possible.

"We stand ready to help with discussions between the management and the union to ensure this can happen.

"Fuel supplies continue to be delivered as usual and there is no current risk of disruption to supplies."

PM Vows To Roll Back Green Taxes On Energy

The Lib Dems have accused David Cameron of a "panicky U-turn" after he pledged to roll back green taxes blamed for driving up energy bills.

During another bitter row about energy policy with Ed Miliband at Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Cameron said he wanted to "get a grip" on green regulations.

The levies have been criticised by suppliers in recent weeks as they started to unveil a string of price hikes in household bills ahead of the winter.

Mr Cameron also told MPs the Government is to launch an annual audit of competition in the energy industry to see if the market can be improved.

The announcements came as he was mocked by the Labour leader over former Tory prime minister Sir John Major's shock call for a windfall tax on energy firms.

Upper hand: Ed Miliband and Ed Balls both mocked the PM

But they sparked deep coalition divisions to be laid bare as the Lib Dems, who oppose any change to green taxes, stressed their commitment to the environment.

A party source said: "Everybody knows the Tories are getting cold feet on the environment. The Tories have put no properly worked up policies in front of us.

"But we will not allow a panicky u-turn during PMQs to dictate Government policy. The way to provide stable fuel bills now and in the future is not to make policy up on the hoof."

At PMQs, Mr Miliband claimed Sir John's intervention on Tuesday had exposed the Prime Minister's unwillingness to stand up to energy firms.

"Many people face the choice this winter between heating and eating. These are the ordinary people of this country who this Prime Minister will never meet and whose lives he will never understand," he said.

Mr Cameron replied: "I can tell the House today that we will be having a proper competition test carried out over the next year to get to the bottom of whether this market can be made more competitive.

"I want more companies, I want better regulation, I want better deals for consumers. But yes, we also need to roll back the green charges that he put in place as energy secretary."

Amid heated exchanges, Mr Cameron lashed out at the Labour leader, telling him: "Sir John Major is a good man, you are acting like a conman."

He said: "He left us a market with just six players, we have already seen seven new energy companies come into that market.

"So we need an annual audit of competition to make this market more competitive, something he never did when in office.

"And we need to roll back the costs that have been imposed on people's energy bills, part of which he was responsible for."

Tory Zac Goldsmith called party leaders "muppets"

After coming off worse in the bout with the Labour leader, Mr Cameron was also reprimanded by the Commons Speaker for repeating "conman" later in the session.

John Bercow said he had let it slide once but later told the Prime Minister the word was "frankly unparliamentary".

He said: "The Prime Minister is a man of great versatility in the use of language - it's a bit below the level. We'll leave it there, it's a bit below the level."

Downing Street sources said Mr Cameron had discussed his plans to roll back green levies with the Lib Dems in recent weeks.

More details are expected in the Chancellor's Autumn Statement in December.

According to Number 10, green levies will rise from £112 to £194 - or 14% of the typical household bill - by 2020 if there is no policy change.

The Lib Dems promised any detailed proposals would be examined but added that they would not let the Conservatives "undermine" their green credentials.

Details of the competition review will also be set out next week in the Energy Secretary's annual statement to the Commons.

It will be conducted by watchdog Ofgem, the Office of Fair Trading and the new Competition and Markets Authority.

The first review, which will look at prices, profit levels and any barriers to new suppliers trying to enter the market, is due to start within weeks and report next year.

Sir John's call for an "excess profits tax" on energy firms if there is a severe winter and vulnerable people were suffering has already been dismissed by Downing Street.

Officials say there are "no plans" for such a move, but Labour were delighted by the comments as they claimed the former PM was making their case for them.

Energy has now become central to the row over the cost-of-living and is unlikely to fade for weeks to come as the "Big Six" energy suppliers continue to unveil price hikes.

A Labour source suggested David Cameron's response to the issue was "panicked and totally inadequate".

Tory MP and keen environmentalist Zac Goldsmith also branded the party leaders "muppets" for their approach.

He wrote on Twitter: "In 2010, leaders fought to prove they were the greenest. Three years on, they're desperately blaming their own policies on the other. Muppets."

The Poppy Girls To Perform For The Queen

Children of serving soldiers are following in the footsteps of Military Wives by forming a singing group which will perform for the Queen.

The quintet, called The Poppy Girls, has been assembled after a nationwide talent hunt and will sing the official 2013 Poppy Appeal single.

The group, made up of children who have a parent or sibling serving in the UK or overseas, have recorded the Regina Spektor song The Call (No Need To Say Goodbye).

They will perform the tune in front of the Queen at next month's Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall.

The girls are: Megan Adams, 10, from Stirling; Florence Ransom, 10, from Petersfield; Alice Milburn, 13, from Portsmouth; Bethany Davy, 15, from Dartford and Charlotte Mellor, 17, from Cambridge.

They were picked from around 1,000 hopefuls.

The Royal British Legion and Decca Records worked together to recruit the group, which represents the Royal Navy, the Army and the RAF.

With a TV audience of more than 6 million viewers, hopes are high that the girls will mark their recording debut with a huge chart hit.

Charles Byrne, the Legion's head of fundraising, said: "This is a hauntingly beautiful track sung by a group of girls who know what it means to have family members constantly placed in harm's way.

"We have a major theme in this year's Poppy Appeal around families, so there is no more powerful way of reflecting that than through the voices of these exceptionally talented young people."

The girls' track will be released on Remembrance Sunday, November 10.

Prince George Christened At St James's Palace

Prince George has been christened in a ceremony at St James's Palace that spanned four generations of the royal family.

The baby boy was pink cheeked and chubby as he emerged from the historic Chapel Royal with his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, after the service.

The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry gathered for the private ceremony of the future king and supreme governor of the Church of England.

Before entering the chapel, William told everyone: "He's all ready. So far, so good."

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with Prince George

Prince George was dressed in a Honiton lace christening gown, a replica of the one used by more than 60 members of the Royal Family since 1841.

Kate looked relaxed before the service began and wore a cream Alexander McQueen outfit and a matching hat by milliner Jane Taylor.

Other guests include Kate's family - parents Carole and Michael Middleton and siblings Pippa and James - along with his godparents and their partners.

The historic 45-minute service conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury saw the four generations of British monarchs photographed by celebrity portrait photographer Jason Bell, together for the first time since 1899.

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh arrive at the service

Harry and Pippa both gave readings and William and Kate chose two hymns, two lessons and two anthems for the service.

The Lily font used by the Archbishop was brought to the Chapel Royal from the Tower of London where it is normally housed as part of the crown jewels.

While the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William were all christened at Buckingham Palace, the Duke and Duchess have chosen to break with tradition, holding the baptism in the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace.

It is the chapel where Diana, Princess of Wales' coffin rested before her funeral in 1997.

Prince George wore a lace christening gown

Earlier, Kensington Palace revealed the names of Prince George's seven godparents.

They are Zara Tindall, Oliver Baker, Emilia Jardine-Paterson, Earl Grosvenor, Julia Samuel, William van Cutsem and Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton.

Mr Lowther-Pinkerton is William and Kate's former private secretary, who continues to serve part-time as their principal private secretary and equerry.

Mr Baker is an old university friend who attended St Andrews with William and Kate, while Earl Grosvenor, whose first name is Hugh, is the son of the Duke of Westminster.

Ms Samuel was a close friend of Diana, Princess of Wales, and is the founder patron of Child Bereavement UK, which has William as its royal patron.

Mr van Cutsem is an old family friend of William and Harry, while Ms Jardine-Paterson is an interior designer and an old Malborough College friend of Kate, who also uses her maiden name d'Erlanger in her working life.
