Good evening. Welcome to NorthWest Tonight with Ranvir Singh and Roger

:00:04.:00:11.

Johnson. Our top story: A toddler's preventable death at these brutal

:00:11.:00:16.

hands. Joshua Jones's family give their reaction as a coroner says he

:00:16.:00:22.

could have been saved. If the agencies have done their jobs

:00:22.:00:30.

correctly and acted accordingly, I think that Joshua could still be a.

:00:30.:00:34.

-- here. Why was two-year-old Joshua sent home despite a

:00:34.:00:40.

catalogue of injuries? And training the troops, in Afghanistan with

:00:40.:00:43.

that the north-west men and women preparing for the front line. Also

:00:43.:00:46.

in the programme: The three lions worn by England's first black

:00:46.:00:50.

footballer take pride of place at a Manchester museum. And going mad

:00:50.:00:53.

for Macca - we're at the Echo Arena as Sir Paul's world tour comes to

:00:53.:01:03.
:01:03.:01:04.

an end in his home town. You just have a feeling that something

:01:04.:01:14.
:01:14.:01:35.

"A long and harrowing experience". That's how the Cheshire Coroner has

:01:35.:01:37.

described an inquest into the death of Joshua Jones, the Runcorn

:01:37.:01:41.

toddler who died after months of horrific abuse at the hands of his

:01:41.:01:43.

mother's violent boyfriend. He also concluded Joshua would probably

:01:43.:01:46.

still be alive if the agencies responsible for his safety had

:01:46.:01:48.

taken steps to protect him. Our reporter, Mark Edwardson was in

:01:48.:01:51.

Warrington. The happy, smiling face of Joshua Jones. Horrifically

:01:51.:01:53.

abused by his mother's boyfriend, Wayne Davenport. Nichola Bowman had

:01:53.:01:56.

been warned not to leave Joshua in the house alone with with Davenport.

:01:56.:02:01.

But she ignored the advice, with tragic consequences. It was the

:02:01.:02:04.

evening of November the 62007 when paramedics were called to this

:02:04.:02:08.

address. They found Joshua Jones with a head injury inflicted by

:02:08.:02:12.

wind of an pot. Joshua was unresponsive and was taken to

:02:12.:02:22.
:02:22.:02:27.

Warrington District General Hospital where he was admitted. But

:02:27.:02:29.

the agencies have done their jobs correctly and acted accordingly, I

:02:29.:02:33.

think that Joshua would still be a. Changes have been made but there

:02:33.:02:38.

has been no official apology to Joshua at his family for how the

:02:38.:02:45.

agencies have let him down. October the 26th Joshua was taken

:02:45.:02:46.

to Warrington Hospital with multiple suspicious injuries

:02:46.:02:49.

including a broken arm. Nicola Bowman makes excuses - but medical

:02:49.:02:54.

staff were suspicious. On 1st November police, Halton District

:02:54.:02:57.

council and the hospital decide he can be discharged. Five days later,

:02:57.:03:04.

Joshua was dead. The Cheshire coroner, recording a verdict of

:03:04.:03:09.

unlawful killing, said that Joshua would probably still be alive if

:03:09.:03:14.

the police and Horton does regional hospital had that sent them back to

:03:14.:03:19.

an unsafe environment. The Halton Safeguarding Children Board speaks

:03:19.:03:22.

for all the agencies who are charged with protecting youngsters,

:03:22.:03:27.

including Joshua. At the time, the Serious Case Review look at the

:03:27.:03:30.

agency's individually and collectively and the work they have

:03:30.:03:33.

done with Joshua and his family and took on board the lessons they had

:03:33.:03:40.

learned. The coroner said he was assured the police had learnt

:03:40.:03:43.

lessons. But he's writing to Halton Borough Council and Warrington

:03:43.:03:48.

Hospital with more reccommendations. They say many of their procedures

:03:48.:03:58.
:03:58.:03:58.

have been radically improved since the death of Joshua Jones. Our

:03:58.:04:01.

Health Correspondent Laura Yates joins us now. Laura, so many times

:04:01.:04:04.

in these kind of stories we hear the same criticism - that agencies

:04:04.:04:06.

are not working together properly. This, in this case the coroner

:04:06.:04:09.

described communication between the police the hospital and the social

:04:09.:04:13.

services as inadequate. The problem was they did not sure information

:04:13.:04:19.

they had individually and as a whole. Because the social workers

:04:19.:04:25.

and also the photographs that the hospital had of Joshua's injury.

:04:25.:04:32.

The coroner has said the hospital next to review procedures of cases

:04:32.:04:36.

where children come in with us suspicious injuries. But will that

:04:36.:04:41.

blanket guidance work for everybody? We had a look at some of

:04:41.:04:46.

the guidance nationally and it seems to be just that, Giggs. But

:04:46.:04:51.

the coroner has told Warrington Hospital what they must do what

:04:51.:04:55.

Trojan who come in with suspicious injuries. They must see two

:04:55.:05:01.

specialists and the kind of injury the child has and that all staff

:05:01.:05:11.

should have mandatory training in safeguarding children. All this

:05:11.:05:13.

week we're meeting the men and women from the North West serving

:05:13.:05:16.

in Afghanistan, and today it's the turn of those preparing to travel

:05:16.:05:21.

to the frontline. Everyone arriving at Camp Bastion in Helmand spends a

:05:21.:05:24.

week getting used to the harsh Afghan conditions - the dust, the

:05:24.:05:26.

rough terrain and the extreme temperatures. Training the troops

:05:26.:05:29.

here is crucial for their safety when they travel on to hostile

:05:29.:05:32.

areas. Naomi Cornwell's been meeting them as they prepare to put

:05:32.:05:42.
:05:42.:05:54.

their lives on the line. They've practised at home. Now the troops

:05:54.:05:59.

are getting used to firing in the dust of Afghanistan. Before leaving

:05:59.:06:01.

Camp Bastion, everyone must undergo extra training to prepare them for

:06:01.:06:04.

the risks they'll face out in Helmand Province. The men and women

:06:04.:06:10.

here are used to firing two or three rounds at a time. This

:06:10.:06:13.

exercise is designed to boost their confidence so they can fire the

:06:13.:06:20.

longer bursts needed out on the ground. Today is mandatory training

:06:20.:06:24.

for the Rangers. We have to do it once a month to make sure they keep

:06:24.:06:28.

up with their weapons. We have not been firing their weapons that much,

:06:28.:06:33.

which is good news, but they have got to maintain that skill. Also,

:06:33.:06:39.

medical training. If you hear a bang, get on the deck, someone

:06:39.:06:46.

should show, a man down, man down. Blood loss is the biggest killer

:06:46.:06:51.

for those caught hopping explosions. They are being trained to use a

:06:51.:07:00.

simple tourniquet. Private Craig Healey is training as a first aider

:07:00.:07:03.

for has Territorial Army unit. Back home user supermarkets security

:07:03.:07:08.

guard. It is all look different to normal day-to-day life in civvy

:07:08.:07:12.

street. It is an experience worth having. I have enjoyed it since I

:07:13.:07:21.

had been you. In another part of the camp, they're having a driving

:07:21.:07:24.

lesson with a difference. These huge armoured vehicles are the

:07:24.:07:26.

army's main mode of transport in Afghanistan, but it's very

:07:26.:07:30.

different to home. It's only here that they can really get to grips

:07:30.:07:33.

with the harsh terrain. Everything is aimed at giving them a realistic

:07:33.:07:36.

view of what life will be like outside the Camp. It has been a big

:07:36.:07:39.

learning curve, and I am pleased that I managed to get on the

:07:39.:07:48.

deployment list. They even have a mock Afghan village here to

:07:48.:07:53.

practice their patrols. And Jeff the dog is teaching them a few

:07:53.:07:56.

things too. He's been specially trained to find Improvised

:07:56.:08:01.

Explosive Devices. I'm part of the bomb disposal team that gets called

:08:01.:08:06.

out to I e ds. We have to search for them and destroy them, so that

:08:06.:08:09.

the guys on the ground can operate as normal and so that the Afghan

:08:09.:08:15.

civilians can do their job. It is quite a hard job mentally because

:08:15.:08:20.

you have got so many things to think about all at once. And being

:08:20.:08:24.

constantly on call, it takes it out of you have it, not being able to

:08:24.:08:29.

switch off completely. You have good days and bad days but overall,

:08:29.:08:33.

it is a good job to do, you know you are doing good and helping

:08:33.:08:39.

people. Even the courts are part of the training, making sure that the

:08:39.:08:49.
:08:49.:08:52.

dogs are used to coming across other animals. Every detail is

:08:52.:08:55.

crucial. The men and women here know their lives may one day depend

:08:55.:08:58.

on it. Tomorrow, we meet the medics - the NHS staff who have

:08:59.:09:06.

volunteered to run the busiest trauma hospital in the world. David

:09:06.:09:09.

Hunt was no good samaritan. When he found his neighbour dead in her

:09:09.:09:11.

Lancashire home he didn't immediately call the police or

:09:11.:09:14.

emergency services. Instead, he stole her belongings, raided her

:09:14.:09:17.

bank account and went on a spending spree. Today, the electrician from

:09:17.:09:20.

Lytham St Annes was jailed for two and a half years for a crime

:09:20.:09:24.

labelled as "despicable and callous". Peter Marshall reports.

:09:24.:09:27.

David Hunt noticed when his neighbour hadn't been seen for some

:09:27.:09:37.
:09:37.:09:38.

days - when post built up at her flat directly below his. He broke

:09:38.:09:42.

in to her home - in Ansdell near Lytham - to check, and that's where

:09:42.:09:46.

his neighbourliness ended. He found 61 year old Jane Melody dead in her

:09:46.:09:50.

bedroom - and embarked on a callous crime. David Hunt help himself to a

:09:51.:09:54.

bank art and jewellery from the bedside table. He took mobile

:09:54.:09:56.

phones of carcasses from the kitchen and went on a spending

:09:56.:10:02.

spree. He withdrew �200 from her account, bought a bike and went for

:10:02.:10:07.

a few drinks, all the time showing a callous disregard for his poor,

:10:07.:10:14.

it neighbour. It was several hours before he alerted police to miss

:10:14.:10:16.

Melody's death. They became suspicious and eventually he

:10:16.:10:19.

admitted his crime. At Burnley crown court he pleaded guilty to

:10:19.:10:22.

one charge of burglary - and two of fraud. That was completely

:10:22.:10:26.

premeditated. He had time to keep so there has actions and took these

:10:26.:10:34.

items with no cure for the situation or any family members.

:10:34.:10:37.

Burnley crown court was told 38 year-old Hunt had since shown

:10:37.:10:40.

genuine remorse for his moment of madness - and he'd paid �600 to

:10:40.:10:44.

cover some of his neighbour's funeral costs. Imprisoning hunt for

:10:44.:10:46.

a total two-and-a-half years, the judge said that this was no moment

:10:46.:10:52.

of madness, rather, his actions were callous, premeditated and

:10:52.:11:02.
:11:02.:11:07.

showed no conscience whatsoever. A mother has made a tearful appeal

:11:07.:11:11.

for help in finding her missing son. Hayden Evans hasn't been seen since

:11:11.:11:13.

leaving a Christmas party in Cheshire during the early hours of

:11:13.:11:17.

Saturday. A huge police search is now underway for the 18 year old.

:11:17.:11:20.

Our Chief Reporter, Dave Guest, has the story. A mother and son pose

:11:20.:11:23.

for a happy snap while Christmas shopping last week. Now the son is

:11:23.:11:28.

missing - and the mum is distraught. If anyone knows where my son is, we

:11:28.:11:35.

just want him back. Hayden Evans is 18 and had attended a Christmas

:11:35.:11:38.

Party at the Carden Park Hotel just outside Chester on Friday night. He

:11:38.:11:41.

was last seen outside the front door around half past midnight. Did

:11:41.:11:46.

he make his way down the drive to the men in France? The police are

:11:47.:11:50.

keen to hear from anyone who thinks they may have seen them wandering

:11:50.:11:56.

along you, one of the A41, during the early hours. He is 5 ft 9

:11:56.:12:01.

inches tall, short, dark brown hair, and blue eyes. Around 60 officers

:12:01.:12:04.

have been involved in searching for Hayden - both within the hotel

:12:04.:12:10.

grounds - and further afield. concerned because obviously it was

:12:10.:12:15.

the early hours of Saturday morning and it is now Tuesday, and we know

:12:15.:12:22.

that it is cold weather, it is December. We are concerned.

:12:22.:12:27.

police said that someone had reported seeing someone similar to

:12:27.:12:33.

him walking along the A41, and they have asked that caller to contact

:12:33.:12:40.

them again. The family is in bits. We're having nightmares. We just

:12:40.:12:50.
:12:50.:12:55.

want him back. She says she just wants her son home for Christmas. A

:12:55.:12:58.

father, originally from Greater Manchester, and his two children,

:12:58.:13:01.

have died in a suspected poison gas leak at a cottage in Ireland. The

:13:01.:13:04.

bodies of Trevor Wallwork, his 12 year old daughter Kimberley, and 9

:13:04.:13:07.

year old son Harry, were found at their home in County Sligo. Mr

:13:07.:13:10.

Wallwork's wife Susan, was in hospital being treated for cancer

:13:10.:13:15.

at the time of the accident. The MP for Chorley has criticised the

:13:15.:13:18.

government over BAe missing out on a defence deal worth almost 5

:13:18.:13:21.

billion dollars. Lyndsay Hoyle says the government didn't take enough

:13:21.:13:27.

action to secure a contract with Japan for 42 Typhoon Jets. 1,400

:13:27.:13:30.

jobs were recently cut at BAe's plants in Warton and Salmesbury,

:13:30.:13:37.

where the planes are built. Meanwhile, BAe Systems has sold its

:13:37.:13:42.

site at Woodford in Cheshire to Avro Heritage Limited. BAe has had

:13:42.:13:45.

a presence in Woodford since 1924 and has built more than 20,000

:13:45.:13:49.

aircraft there - including the Lancaster Bomber. Avro Heritage

:13:49.:13:51.

says it wants Woodford's association with the aviation

:13:51.:13:54.

industry to be reflected in the development of the site. Plans are

:13:54.:14:01.

thought to include film studios. Still to come : pride of place for

:14:01.:14:05.

the short of a football have made history. And Manchester Museum on

:14:05.:14:10.

as England's first black player. And managers under pressure as the

:14:10.:14:14.

bottom two in the Premier League going head-to-head in what could be,

:14:24.:14:27.

sack race. We will be live from he would park. -- Ewood Park. Next

:14:27.:14:31.

tonight: as the rest of us gear up for a few extra calories over

:14:32.:14:34.

Christmas, spare a thought for our elite athletes. Lora Turnham from

:14:34.:14:37.

Liverpool is a blind cyclist who trains at the Velodrome in

:14:37.:14:40.

Manchester. She's hoping to make it to next year's paralympics. In the

:14:40.:14:43.

latest of our Olympic Dreams, Lindsey Prosser looks at how Lora

:14:43.:14:53.
:14:53.:14:57.

unwinds away from the track. For Laura, it is all about speed.

:14:57.:15:02.

have got the wind rushing past your body. You have got the sound of the

:15:02.:15:06.

bike. You know when you are going fast. You can feel it through the

:15:06.:15:13.

by. Laura comes from a sporting family. Her mum, has also blind, is

:15:13.:15:17.

a champion runner, and to brothers, also blind, play football and

:15:17.:15:21.

cricket for England. They have always pushed me to take part in

:15:22.:15:28.

sport. The Matt Cole was supported us and taking us to events and

:15:28.:15:33.

Tudor's on and encouraged us to train. Laura likes to socialise but

:15:33.:15:37.

vase have to make sacrifices for training and they keep in touch

:15:37.:15:42.

with friends through a computer. You have got to keep your friends

:15:42.:15:47.

around you when you are training because you need to stay positive

:15:47.:15:56.

and they help you. Neil is Laura's boyfriend. He is also a Paralympics

:15:56.:16:00.

cyclist and understands her determination. You cannot just go

:16:00.:16:05.

out to the pub and have a drink. are very good at getting the best

:16:05.:16:09.

out of each other. I think we make a reasonably good team from that

:16:09.:16:15.

point of view. Even at home, Laura trains four hours. How many miles

:16:15.:16:22.

to you do? I have no idea. Lots! Laura hopes to make the Great

:16:22.:16:31.

Britain team for the World Championships in beggary. -- in

:16:31.:16:37.

February. She must look an on-site, in the conservatory, peddling a we

:16:37.:16:47.
:16:47.:16:51.

like that! -- an odd sight peddling away. Football now, and there's a

:16:51.:16:55.

crunch North West derby at the foot of the Premier League tonight -

:16:55.:16:57.

with bottom club Bolton going to second from bottom Blackburn. Both

:16:57.:17:00.

Managers know defeat could have major repercussions - not least for

:17:00.:17:03.

their own jobs. At Ewood Park for us tonight is our reporter Ian

:17:03.:17:06.

Haslam. I bet both sets of fans abating their fingernails. Yes, the

:17:06.:17:09.

rain has just started here but there is very -- variable in the

:17:09.:17:15.

way of festive cheer. Chance of Steve keen about ring around --

:17:15.:17:25.
:17:25.:17:26.

Steve Kean out ring around this stadium game after game. A short

:17:26.:17:32.

while ago, I put these questions to the former Blackburn Rovers striker,

:17:32.:17:39.

Kevin Gallacher. It is a tall order. That possibly could be, but who's

:17:39.:17:44.

going to sack him? Is it going to come from India? Or is there when

:17:44.:17:54.
:17:54.:18:01.

to be someone you that nobody knows about? That is the question.

:18:01.:18:04.

tough times for Blackburn Rovers, and it's a similar story at Bolton.

:18:04.:18:07.

In fact, Wanderers are a point worse off than their local rivals

:18:07.:18:10.

and have lost more matches and conceded more goals than any other

:18:10.:18:12.

Premier League side. Well here tonight as a summariser for BBC

:18:12.:18:15.

Radio Manchester is the former Bolton striker Alan Gowling, can

:18:15.:18:18.

Owen Coyle and his team get a result tonight? Yes, I think you

:18:18.:18:21.

can forget everything that has gone on previously in the season so far.

:18:21.:18:24.

Tonight is a massive game and the lads will be up for it. If they up

:18:24.:18:28.

for it I can see them winning. lose or draw, tonight's match could

:18:28.:18:31.

have huge consequences for both Managers. If the result doesn't go

:18:31.:18:34.

Bolton's way, will Owen Coyle be given time to turn things around?

:18:34.:18:37.

It depends on which count you are sitting in. For myself I don't

:18:37.:18:47.
:18:47.:18:54.

think he will get a lot of time if they lose tonight. Thanks Alan.

:18:54.:18:57.

There's full match commentary on both BBC Lancashire and as

:18:57.:18:59.

mentioned, BBC Radio Manchester. Should either side lose tonight

:18:59.:19:02.

they'll spend Christmas bottom of the table. In 18 of the Premier

:19:02.:19:05.

League's 19 seasons, the side in that position has gone on to be

:19:05.:19:08.

relegated. An interesting night ahead, we'll have a full report in

:19:08.:19:18.
:19:18.:19:19.

tomorrow's North West Tonight. has just ruin Christmas for all

:19:19.:19:26.

fans of those teams there! The match at Ewood may well determine

:19:26.:19:30.

the future of one of those clubs, but a landmark in football's past

:19:30.:19:33.

was remembered in Manchester today. When Viv Anderson took to the field

:19:34.:19:36.

for England's match against Czechoslovakia in November 1978, he

:19:36.:19:39.

was making history. He was the first black player to represent his

:19:39.:19:42.

country in a full international. Now, the shirt he wore that day has

:19:42.:19:52.
:19:52.:19:55.

gone on show at the People's History Museum in Manchester. Jim

:19:55.:19:59.

Callaghan was at Number 10. Rod Stewart at Number one. And a black

:19:59.:20:01.

man wore Number 2 for England. Sounds unremarkable, but only a

:20:01.:20:04.

week earlier a nightclub in Birmingham had been forced to lift

:20:04.:20:07.

its ban on black customers. Everybody knew the significance of

:20:07.:20:13.

Viv Anderson's England debut. was a big occasion. You look back

:20:13.:20:20.

now and I got a telegram from the Queen, and Elton John. Obviously it

:20:20.:20:25.

was a big thing at the time. shirt Viv wore that night has gone

:20:25.:20:29.

on show at the People's History Museum. The first thing that

:20:29.:20:33.

strikes me looking at it is how grubby it loose. They have resisted

:20:33.:20:38.

the temptation to wash out of that match the crime. The shirt's been

:20:38.:20:44.

conserved rather than restored. this case, it means preserving

:20:44.:20:51.

:20:55.:20:58.

first signing at Manchester United. The racial abuse he experienced

:20:58.:21:01.

from the terraces at some grounds has largely gone. But racism is

:21:01.:21:03.

again an issue. Liverpool's Luis Suarez is defending himself from

:21:03.:21:06.

allegations that he racially abused United defender Patrice Evra. Some

:21:06.:21:14.

say a misunderstanding between different cultures may be at play.

:21:14.:21:18.

If somebody said something that in their culture mean something not

quite as bad as we interpret it, then you have got to take that on

board. You have to look for that? You have to look for everything, I

:21:28.:21:33.

think. For the record, England won 1-0. But Viv Anderson's shirt tells

:21:33.:21:39.

a story that goes beyond football. You remember it? You were about

:21:39.:21:46.

eight years old? Yes, that was the first replica kit that I had.

:21:46.:21:51.

There'll be lots of mothers trying to desperately get bloodstains out

:21:51.:22:01.
:22:01.:22:04.

of football kit! I just remember that kit. I love it. There's always

:22:04.:22:08.

an extra buzz in Liverpool when the former Beatle performs. And it's

:22:08.:22:11.

the first time he's played at the city's Echo arena. Our Merseyside

:22:11.:22:18.

Reporter, Andy Gill, is there now. I'm sure that the anticipation is

:22:18.:22:26.

starting to build. It certainly is. A picture of Sir Paul McCartney

than it would ordinarily be. Last year, he played the o2 arena. He

:22:43.:22:47.

bought the entire audience abide of chips. We're not sure if he will do

:22:47.:22:54.

that again tonight but the fans are all looking forward to it anyway.

:22:54.:23:03.

Here's a little taste of what the fans can expect later tonight. On

:23:03.:23:06.

this afternoon's Magical Mystery Beatles tour of Liverpool lots of

:23:06.:23:12.

fans had tickets for tonight's show. We won the tickets from a radio

:23:12.:23:19.

station in Germany, and yes, I am very excited. Pick one out that you

:23:19.:23:26.

would like him to do? It would be cool if he did at the end the life.

:23:26.:23:36.
:23:36.:23:39.

The driver's going too. This week Sir Paul told the Liverpool Echo he

:23:39.:23:42.

often drives around his childhood haunts when he comes home. Perhaps

:23:42.:23:48.

the fans on this trip would bump into him? It is amazing, the

:23:48.:23:57.

Revenue does come he does with perhaps not. But all agreed there's

:23:57.:24:00.

something special about going to a Macca concert in Liverpool.

:24:00.:24:03.

Something special happens every time he plays, but I'm sure that

:24:03.:24:10.

that gives it an extra kick, it being in Liverpool. Sir Paul told

:24:10.:24:14.

BBC radio why he wanted to play in Liverpool tonight. You do this big

:24:15.:24:20.

show, and you go to Yankee Stadium, to big stadiums in Sao Paulo, in

:24:20.:24:25.

Rio de Janeiro, then you think, it would be nice if the forks at home

:24:25.:24:31.

could see this. Sir Paul played two encores in Manchester last night. I

You'd have thought at the age of 69 that Sir Paul McCartney might

slowdown but he has announced plans for a new album of cover versions

:24:45.:24:51.

out next February. There will be something special at this concert

:24:51.:24:56.

tonight, it will be Christmas themed and it will be something

:25:11.:25:16.

taken with the aspect of a free bag of chips. I saw him at Manchester a

:26:10.:26:13.

around three Celsius over the next couple of hours, but temperatures

:26:13.:26:19.

will rise through the night, and we will start tomorrow with up to

seven Celsius. Tomorrow, rain will try to leave us early, mid- to late

temperatures will be up at double figures, between 10-12 Celsius.

:26:56.:27:00.

This is a significant rise on last week. Keeping these temperatures

:27:00.:27:04.

over the next couple of days. By Saturday it will start to get

:27:04.:27:09.

colder again, with temperatures back down to six Celsius. Just
