Today's Highlighted Video Story:
Greater Manchester Police officers speak to Newsnight over what they say are serious failings at the force. In December, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services found Greater Manchester Police failed to record about 80,000 crimes in a 12-month period and closed cases without proper investigation. Former chief constable Ian Hopkins resigned after the force was placed in special measures, and successor Stephen Watson told a recent press conference vital improvements would be made rapidly. But a number of GMP officers have spoken to BBC Newsnight to allege serious failings within England's second largest force.
