Investigation into Hillsborough 'spin claims'

A UK Police Watchdog has launched an investigation after a press office said she was instructed to spin news during the Hillsborough inquests.

Hayley Court, who worked for South Yorkshire Police says she was asked to emphasise pieces of evidence that would work in favour of the police.

This included claims - rejected by the inquests jury -  of poor behaviour by Liverpool fans at the 1989 stadium disaster.

96 who died were found to have been unlawfully killed.

Our UK correspondent Martha Holeyman has more.
