that is the highest level in a decade. it has been largely driven by young adults at universities and colleges who didn't as children have the mmrjab — that is measles, mumps and rubella. public health england says the rise looks set to continue this year, and it is urging people to have both parts of the mmr vaccine for maximum protection. catherine burns reports. this is david 0rwood now, and this is him when he became ill with the mumps. as the days went by, his face became more and more swollen. it started to affect his breathing. he says the pain was excruciating. it was just indescribable. ijust kind of woke up and i couldn't do anything, and it completely took over my body. so you started to feel better, and then you got a complication. it then went into... ..my balls.

and ijust felt like i had this — someone had kicked me in the balls. and on my right side, itjust swelled up like an avocado. it was huge, and really painful. mumps cases are at the highest level for a decade in england. they have dropped in northern ireland, but have also risen in wales and scotland. most people get better without treatment, but it can lead on to serious complications, including meningitis, deafness, and infertility for men. the mmr vaccine prevents most cases. babies have the first dose just after they turn one, and it gives between 61—91% protection. a second jab before they start school boosts that level to about 95%. but in 1998, a doctor, andrew wakefield, wrongly linked the vaccine with autism. that has been totally discredited now, but the effects of the controversy linger on. the increase in mumps is partly linked to outbreaks

in universities and colleges. it's thought that some students now might have missed out on being immunised in the late 19905 and early 20005. and, even if you've had the vaccine, it can become less effective over time. if you do get mumps after being vaccinated, it probably won't be as severe, and you're less likely to have complications. the official advice is to make sure you're fully protected. david found out he only had the first injection as a baby. he has had the second one now, but wishes he had not missed out all those years ago. catherine burns, bbc news. now on bbc news, our world. panzuto was a mafia boss. for years he played a key role in naples‘ camorra, but now he has turned state witness, and is helping put his former associates behind bars. this film contains descriptions of violence which some viewers may find upsetting.

naples, where police waged a co nsta nt naples, where police waged a constant battle against organised crime. we are now in one of the poorest areas of naples, as the officers look for sentinels, lookouts. the camorra is the city's mafia, one of the world's most deadly and secretive criminal networks. but now, one of its bosses and killers is breaking the code of silence. gennaro panzuto was a dangerous criminal in naples. a criminal who

has now turned on the camorra, putting his brothers behind bars, leaving him a marked man. this is the story of gennaro panzuto, the man who murdered for the mafia, and then confessed all. ina in a prison in the italian alps, the secrets are being unlocked. the secrets are being unlocked. the secrets of the camorra clans, the

secrets of the camorra clans, the secrets of the camorra clans, the secrets of a life spent committing terrible crimes. gennaro panzuto, a former leader of the naples camorra, is what italians call a pentito, a state witness who has helped prosecutors' associates. he is ina has helped prosecutors' associates. he is in a special prison unit for his own safety. the italian authorities have allowed us exclusive access to hear his story, but not to show his face. now 45 years old, he has spent a decade injail, reflecting on what he has done.

camorra didn't become a killer overnight. as a teenager, he learnt how to be a street thief, working easily‘s tourist hotspots, snatching watchers. he was talent spotted by his uncle, rosario, who headed the camorra cigarette smuggling operation. panzuto camorra cigarette smuggling operation. pa nzuto grew camorra cigarette smuggling operation. panzuto grew up in this dark dead—end alley. now, he had found an escape route from poverty. he was soon involved in extortion

and drugs for the camorra. based on two big plans, the camorra operates like no other mafia in the world, according to expert dr felia allum. so those two clans or those two alliances, in order to be powerful and in order to be strong, what they have tended to do is to recruit smaller clans. so in every district you will find a criminalfamily smaller clans. so in every district you will find a criminal family that controls the territory. so it's kind of alliance building. that's the flexibility and the fluidity of the camorra. by the time he wasjust 21, pa nzuto ha d camorra. by the time he wasjust 21, pa nzuto had already camorra. by the time he wasjust 21, panzuto had already spent time in jail. now, the camorra wanted him to carry out their dirtiest work. he shows me where. this. this one here? yes. this is where it began? yes. mergelina marina, the beautiful place where what panzuto calls his

descent into hell again. in 1996, camorra families were turning on each other in deadly rows over drugs territory. panzuto was called to a meeting on the pier. he was given an instruction to defend his uncle from arrival —— a rival. they are asking you to kill somebody. did you not think that is the wrong thing to do? why not?

with a handshake, panzuto's life changed. he became a killer. by his early 30s, he was clan leader, after his uncle was jailed. his nickname was ‘terramoto', earthquake. using the gun to defend territory, it was a time of blood. so we're talking about targeted killings. yes, and to be efficient, they have to decide on specific individuals, to give a message. they follow them around, they pinpoint where they are, and they pinpoint where they are, and they killed them in order to win territory, but also to give a symbol and a message to that clan. one of the vic terms was rival graziano borelli, shot dead in the street. —— victims.

pietro ioia was a drug trafficker, but for years he has worked to steer people away from the camorra. he tried with the young panzuto, but failed. panzuto's violence made him a target for one of italy's elite anti— mafia

judges. i think at the time, gennaro pa nzuto was judges. i think at the time, gennaro panzuto was the most dangerous criminal in naples, in italy. michele del prete was determined to bring down the young leader before he grew any stronger. the net was closing in on gennaro pa nzuto. the net was closing in on gennaro panzuto. in june 2006, the net was closing in on gennaro panzuto. injune 2006, an arrest warrant was issued. he was now wa nted warrant was issued. he was now wanted for mafia association and murder, and that's when he took a fateful decision. he went on the run.

pa nzuto came here, panzuto came here, north—west england. not exactly a gangster‘s paradise, you might think. at first, he lay low at a caravan park in a quiet corner of rural lancashire. so this is where he used to live. yes, number one, up the stairs. resident mick bury met panzuto when the italian gangster accidentally praying his car. he reversed into my car over there. he reversed into your car? and after that we have become friends. was was he like then? are very friendly, sociable bloke, yes. a bit of charm about him. he liked to enjoy himself, yes. he likes to barbecue, he is to have them outside in the patio. away from them outside in the patio. away from the bloodshed of naples, gennaro pa nzuto was the bloodshed of naples, gennaro panzuto was coming to enjoy his new life in the north—west. that it was

a curious choice for a mobsterfrom southern italy. so why did he choose to come here? i'm a daughter of an ex— mafia boss in italy. this was many years ago, we are talking about nearly 30 years ago. this woman and her father served time nearly 30 years ago. this woman and herfather served time in prison before renouncing the mafia. she settled here in lancashire. although she doesn't know panzuto, she understands why he came here.|j she doesn't know panzuto, she understands why he came here. i was shocked, but in a way i wasn't, because britain is a sort of a safe haven,in because britain is a sort of a safe haven, in away. what would make the uk so attractive to a member of the mafia? you know, you don't have to walk around with an id, like they call it in italy, also to set up a business is very easy. companies housed here, within a few days you have documentation, whereas in italy

you have to go through a course, a procedure. there is a lot more to it, a lot more background checks, and whereas in the uk there isn't. and none of that is lost on foreign crime gangs. they became more aware of it, how lax the laws are in certain areas and still are. the mafia became more aware of it? definitely. pens auto came to north—west england because he had local criminal contact he had made backin local criminal contact he had made back in naples. contacts who are now willing to help him. pentito's white—collar helpers set

up pentito's white—collar helpers set up channels to trade goods. it was a big tax. dodging scam. his court carousel fraud, and it has moved between companies that have closed down before any of the 80s paid. across europe billions in lost taxes. it is a fraud that is really profitable. it is a good tool even to money launder, or to move money from one country to another. so it's really important to organised crime groups? yeah, it's a paradise! and

because you can put really a huge amount of money with very simple skill. what about the role played by panzuto's british skill. what about the role played by pa nzuto's british associates? skill. what about the role played by panzuto's british associates? did those people know that you were using that money to help your associates in naples? back at the caravan park, mick bury was completely in the dark. he just remembers his italian friends generosity. i've got something to show you here. these other shoes he gave me. because a setter like dancing and he said these proper italian shoes. made in italy, as well! yeah. panzuto had struck a

bargain with his british associate. they taught him about fraud. he showed them how to call in debts. he set upa showed them how to call in debts. he set up a late—night meeting with ghetto designed to send a message to all those who owed money. according to pa nzuto, according to panzuto, his british associates where there. but his time on the run was coming to an end. by

2007, panzuto was directing events in naples from this village. but little did he know, the italian authorities found him thanks to phone tapping and in may 2007, he was arrested and extradited. when you discovered this mafia connection, what was your reaction? first of all, you question yourself, you say, what an earth is going on? it was in the papers and stuff, i thought, oh my god! and they were saying, have you seen? he nearly moved in my house in blackpool as well. with panzuto facing a life sentence, he did the unthinkable for a mafia man copy he talked, and he told prosecutors about his british helpers. when you heard the names of

gennaro panzuto's associates in the uk, what did you tell the british police? so, what happened to those people that panzuto so, what happened to those people that pa nzuto named ? so, what happened to those people that panzuto named? we know that lancashire police investigated, but it appears that nobody was arrested, and nobody was ever charged. for legal reasons, we can't name them. the streets of panzuto's hometown, naples, police here are still fighting powerful mafia clans. a sign of that power, a strain in

memory of the clan leader who was killed in a shooting. we are out with the squadron moberly, italy's flying squad. this is the home of another clan and we are driving terribly slowly through some lowrise blocks as the officers look for sentinels, the lookouts. this is a constant daily battle for these police officers from the naples playing squad, trying to stop the steps of crime, drug dealing, and the fear is that the money made here is funnelled into some of the most dangerous crime groups in the world. many

camorra bosses are now in prison, put there by witnesses like panzuto. the result, some clans are now run by teenagers, nicknamed baby gangs. they are less organised, but very violent. we are sitting in on the start of a trail of men accused of murder, drug trafficking, and extortion. the defendant greets a carabinieri officer like an old friend. the coming together of opponents in a

never—ending battle to control the street. they were warned by the city's chief anti—mafia prosecutor not to focus on the violence. we should follow the money. and yet, there are signs of hope in panzuto's old and yet, there are signs of hope in pa nzuto's old neighbourhood. and yet, there are signs of hope in panzuto's old neighbourhood. it's an after—school club where the nuns try to get the kids off the street in

order to give them things to do and make them do homework. gennaro pa nzuto came here make them do homework. gennaro panzuto came here as a child. the nuns are still trying to stop the gangs from grooming the next generation. how do the camorra recruit young people here in this area? either as a volunteer and 20 years ago, some in herfamily were panzuto's deadly ago, some in herfamily were pa nzuto's deadly rivals. ago, some in herfamily were panzuto's deadly rivals. she said this centre seem to live as a child. do you have hope for the future! ——

this centre saved her life as a child. from his prison in the mountains at the other end of italy, ex camorrista gennaro panzuto is scathing about his old gang. they are finished. why did he turn against them? his decision to choose family over the clan has cost him dear. what is the personal price for you in doing that? too much. too much. too much. gennaro panzuto was

the street thief who became a mafia killer. after more than a decade behind bars, he will soon be released, but he will always be looking over his shoulder at. for a man brought up in violence, this could be the hardest part of all.
