Good evening. Our top story. Ultra-efficient, but is it in the

Port? Also tonight. My heart, my life, my

babies, the mother of four children killed in a Lancashire house buyer

:00:29.:00:33.

pays tribute to them. The toddler refused treatment by a

doctor's receptionist, despite crying out in pain.

If you're bleeding heavily, with a head injury as well, which makes it

company has to give. The question is, will it be a car plant? And if

:01:21.:01:28.

it is, will it be at Ellesmere Port?

:01:29.:01:33.

Tonight, we reveal figures which show how massively ahead of other

:01:33.:01:40.

European car plants it really is. But there are problems which do not

:01:40.:01:46.

going its favour. Europe's best car plant, but this

:01:46.:01:51.

week not producing any cars. This week, it is on shut down. Staff

:01:51.:01:54.

have been paid to stay at home because there is no point coming to

:01:54.:01:59.

build cars that will not sell. That is their problem across Europe.

:01:59.:02:06.

The market is awash with too many cars, too little demand. The parent

:02:06.:02:11.

company AGM have announced the highest sales of a, but while it is

:02:11.:02:20.

firmly in the Black, the European arm of the company is in the red.

:02:20.:02:26.

This is simply an acceptable going forward. But we must move rapidly

:02:26.:02:30.

and decisively to take the steps necessary to improve the business.

:02:30.:02:37.

What does that mean? Two options have been rumoured, the closure of

:02:37.:02:47.
:02:47.:02:52.

Ellesmere Port, or the closure of I think the plant has proved itself

:02:52.:03:02.

beyond doubt that the workforce are fantastic. The workers here have

:03:02.:03:08.

always been behind the company, which is more than can be said for

:03:08.:03:12.

their workers in Germany. But these cars are made with a majority of

:03:12.:03:16.

imported components, before most of the cars are exported, and that is

:03:16.:03:22.

a problem. The local MP, Andrew Miller, says he wants tax breaks to

:03:32.:03:41.

Their have any more than 140 arrests ahead of Manchester

:03:41.:03:46.

United's fixture against Ajax this evening. Police say that most of

:03:46.:03:51.

those arrested are Dutch, some are from the Belgian club Anderlecht,

:03:51.:03:55.

and a handful are understood to be English. Officers say the arrests

:03:55.:04:01.

were to prevent trouble at the game which has now kicked off.

Derrick. Multi-million pound eye scanners

:04:34.:04:38.

have been scrapped at Manchester Airport less than two years after

:04:38.:04:43.

they were introduced. The UK Border Agency says it is looking at the

:04:43.:04:46.

future of the iris scanners, and refused to say why they have been

But when the rush inside, reps -- receptionist at the Park Lane

surgery turned the screaming girl away because she was not registered

:05:48.:05:54.

there. Libby Finlow has recovered from her

:05:54.:05:59.

accident, but still has the scars to show it. Her parents are furious

:05:59.:06:03.

when -- at what happened. The blood was running down her face onto her

:06:04.:06:07.

T-shirt. She was crying a lot. She was panic-stricken, more than

:06:07.:06:13.

anything. Her parents rushed to into the first GP practice in the

:06:13.:06:19.

medical centre, the Park Lane surgery, asking for help. But

:06:19.:06:25.

despite her injuries and her parents panic, they were told to

:06:25.:06:31.

take him -- to take her to her own surgery. It was sort of, I am busy,

:06:31.:06:41.
:06:41.:07:03.

Central and eastern Cheshire Primary Care Trusts has apologised

:07:04.:07:06.

to the family, and says the receptionist was following a

:07:07.:07:11.

protocol, but a more natural reaction would have been to take

:07:21.:07:48.

her boy friend Robbie cross arrived together for the inquest into their

:07:51.:07:54.

deaths at Wallasey Town Hall. Healey's body was found washed up

:07:54.:08:03.

on a beach on the Wirral. Her boyfriend lobby's trainers and

:08:03.:08:07.

mobile phone were on the shore. The 21-year-old was found two weeks

:08:07.:08:13.

later, in the River Mersey, after a shoot search operation. The couple

:08:13.:08:16.

had been to the Matthew Street Music Festival and Labour will, and

:08:16.:08:23.

had returned back to Mr Crofts home. He text of a friend on Sunday night,

:08:23.:08:27.

to say they were going to New Brighton beach. A witness at the

:08:27.:08:31.

Travelodge said he saw couple looking out to the sea. That was

:08:31.:08:34.

possibly their last sighting. Conditions that night were

:08:34.:08:39.

described as windy and ferocious. The coroner said the couple had

:08:39.:08:46.

drowned, but we will never know why they went into the water. It may be

:08:46.:08:50.

that Healey went in first, and got into difficulty, then Robbie went

:08:50.:08:54.

in to help us. More likely, the couple went together when they were

:08:54.:09:04.

swept away by a wave. Some breaking news now. Greater

:09:04.:09:08.

Manchester Police have confirmed that remains found under the M60

:09:08.:09:12.

and Stockport yesterday are those of missing Silman Vinny Derrick.

:09:12.:09:16.

The father disappear in 2008 on a night out in Manchester.

:09:16.:09:20.

His family have made numerous appeals over the years for

:09:20.:09:28.

information about him. They have been contacted with that news.

:09:28.:09:33.

Our reported is here. This news broke yesterday, how have the

:09:33.:09:37.

police identified Vinny Derrick? have only just heard the news from

:09:37.:09:41.

the police. Yesterday the human remains, believed to be a skeleton,

:09:41.:09:47.

were found under the flyover at around junction three of the M60.

:09:47.:09:52.

Police tests have been carried out over the past day or so, and he has

:09:53.:09:59.

been identified through dental records. They have been looking for

:09:59.:10:03.

him for a long time, and it was suggested that it was him. In some

:10:03.:10:08.

way, I suppose a relief for the family to know where he is. It is

:10:08.:10:11.

an awful thing to say, but I suppose that is the case. We have

:10:11.:10:16.

not heard from them. His wife has made numerous appeals, and he has

:10:17.:10:21.

been missing since 2008, which has a long time for the family to be

:10:21.:10:25.

wondering. This child has been growing up without him around, and

:10:25.:10:32.

there has been an appeal from the police for privacy at the moment.

:10:33.:10:42.

Thank you for that. Still to come. Denise Hendry's

:10:42.:10:45.

daughter Rheagun joins us to tell us about her campaign to tighten

:10:45.:10:51.

the rules on cosmetic surgery. And throwing her role in two Olympic

:10:51.:11:01.
:11:01.:11:04.

preparation. The Fijian judo player getting support from Cumbria.

:11:04.:11:14.
:11:14.:11:16.

an honour to be beaten up on a daily basis by her!

:11:16.:11:20.

The daughter of former Blackburn Rovers defender Colin Hendry has

:11:20.:11:24.

launched an online campaign calling for tighter regulations on cosmetic

:11:24.:11:27.

surgery following the death of her mother.

:11:27.:11:33.

Denise Hendry died in 2009, seven years after a liposuction procedure,

:11:33.:11:38.

and her daughter Rheagun joins us now. We all know what happened to

:11:38.:11:42.

Udinese, and she talked about it a lot at the time. -- to Denise

:11:42.:11:49.

Hendry. What is it like for the family to see her go through that

:11:49.:11:53.

pain, and then to lose her? There are no words to describe what you

:11:53.:11:59.

go through. Any family just finds a way of getting through life. When

:11:59.:12:06.

life changed so dramatically, and the devastating effects... What was

:12:06.:12:11.

it like? She was very restricted in certain ways of doing things, she

:12:11.:12:20.

could not drive, she did not go far, she was fed intravenously. During a

:12:20.:12:28.

tummy tuck, her bowel was punctured. Yes, nine times. At Leicester with

:12:28.:12:35.

multi- organ failure, a collapsed lung, and we were told we were

:12:35.:12:41.

dealing with a corpse. That has caused due to launch an online

:12:41.:12:45.

petition. What legislation do you want to see? We want to see tighter

:12:45.:12:51.

regulations in the Access to voluntary cosmetic surgery. That

:12:51.:12:55.

means it would be harder to get cosmetic surgery. Another countries

:12:55.:13:01.

there are certain criteria that you must have before getting cosmetic

:13:01.:13:09.

surgery. -- on the NHS. In private clinics you can afford to have the

:13:09.:13:12.

choice to change your body how you like. But the risks are not

:13:12.:13:16.

discussed thoroughly. Howdy feel that young women may

:13:16.:13:20.

still want cosmetic surgery, whatever the risks? We have seen a

:13:20.:13:26.

lot of it with offers you get online now. There are coupons, buy

:13:26.:13:32.

one get one free. There are targets to people who have not got the

:13:32.:13:38.

money to enhance themselves. Your campaign comes at the right

:13:38.:13:44.

time, at the time of the PIP and plan scandal. The plastic surgeons

:13:45.:13:51.

are even saying they want to ban on all this type of advertising.

:13:51.:13:55.

the things that have been coming up in the past few months, I am not

:13:55.:13:59.

going to sit back and wait for the next fatality to happen. I would

:13:59.:14:03.

not expect anyone to go through what I went through, and it is not

:14:03.:14:06.

going to be anyone else is going to stand up and believe in the fact

:14:06.:14:15.

that someone else should be done. We have had a great response on

:14:15.:14:18.

Facebook. Samantha Hammond said people should

:14:18.:14:23.

be happy with what they have. In the drive for perfection, the only

:14:23.:14:25.

end up disappointed, she seems to think.

:14:25.:14:29.

Chris said that he cannot abide all this vanity, beauty comes from

:14:29.:14:34.

within. Denise Hendry rest in peace, he

:14:34.:14:37.

says. Geoff Shannon said, surely only a

:14:37.:14:41.

matter of time before this nightmare came home to roost. The

:14:41.:14:44.

surgeons had made a fortune so should accept responsibility when

:14:44.:14:48.

things go wrong. Sheila Jones adds that she was dead

:14:48.:14:52.

brother at the age of 39 due to necessary surgery. He died as soon

:14:52.:14:56.

as he was given anaesthetic, why would anyone take that risk unless

:14:56.:15:02.

it was essential? Bob my party and, echoing what

:15:02.:15:06.

Rheagan said, the risks of surgery should be explained and the patient

:15:07.:15:10.

should sign a document it indicating that they understand

:15:10.:15:14.

what the risks are. If something goes wrong, they cannot allege that

:15:14.:15:18.

they did not understand the risks. We'll try and keep people updated

:15:18.:15:22.

with how many signatures you get along the way.

:15:22.:15:26.

Today, a mother from Lancashire who lost four of her children at a fire

:15:26.:15:33.

at her home described them as all her heart, her life.

:15:33.:15:36.

All of the children died after someone deliberately set fire to

:15:37.:15:39.

their house in Freckleton last month.

:15:39.:15:43.

This afternoon, Michelle Smith paid tribute to her children at their

:15:43.:15:47.

funeral. A visit to what was once their home.

:15:47.:15:51.

The house at Freckleton remains empty, but she gave a few no

:15:52.:15:55.

procession paused here so family members could lay tributes. What

:15:55.:16:00.

happened here has had a deep impact on the community. B had a service

:16:00.:16:04.

about the days after the fire. They service of consolation and

:16:04.:16:12.

remembrance. The church was absolutely full.

:16:12.:16:15.

All four children died after peaking in smoke from the fire,

:16:15.:16:20.

which police say had been started deliberately in a bedroom wardrobe.

:16:20.:16:24.

On the day of the fire, Michelle Smith had gathered the children to

:16:24.:16:32.

celebrate her birthday. You were all my heart, my life, my babies.

:16:32.:16:40.

. Daily for five other siblings. Today, their sister, death, was

:16:40.:16:46.

among those paying tribute. I remember when me and the twins

:16:46.:16:56.

played. I was a child. Two of us were children, one was a teacher.

:16:56.:17:00.

One month on, no one has been charged in connection with the fire.

:17:00.:17:04.

An 18-year-old connected on suspicion for murder was released

:17:04.:17:08.

on bail. Detectives say they are determined to find whoever was

:17:08.:17:14.

responsible for what happened here. It is thought that Reece was tried

:17:14.:17:17.

to rescue his younger siblings when he was overcome by the small. His

:17:17.:17:22.

father said he was always a hero. He make me so proud to be his

:17:22.:17:28.

father. Ad for him to call me dad. I do not want to say goodbye, so I

:17:28.:17:35.

will just say good night. Sleep tight, baby boy. You have earned it.

:17:35.:17:45.
:17:45.:17:53.

There were just two coffins. The Moving on to sport mayor, and both

:17:53.:17:57.

Manchester football clubs are in European action tonight with the

:17:57.:18:00.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson seeing a lead to the fans to

:18:00.:18:04.

perform well against Ajax. The match kicked off at six in

:18:04.:18:08.

Amsterdam, and at half-time in a match of few chances it is the

:18:08.:18:16.

daughter 0. City have a tough proposition. Ahead of the match,

:18:16.:18:20.

Roberto Mancini has once again been answering questions about the

:18:20.:18:26.

return of... I am not saying his name! Carlos Tevez. The Argentinian

:18:26.:18:32.

is not eligible for the Europa League, but Mancini was keen to

:18:32.:18:37.

reinforce his position that he has not treated the striker unfairly.

:18:37.:18:45.

I have never treated him unfairly. Maybe it is the opposite, I treated

:18:45.:18:50.

him too well, always. The head of Sale Sharks has been

:18:50.:18:53.

banned for 18 weeks by the RFU for abusing match officials. Steve

:18:53.:18:57.

Diamond, who has also led the coaching team, is now the club's

:18:57.:19:01.

Chief Executive. He will be unable to enter the playing area or have

:19:01.:19:05.

contact with the officials during or after a game. Charges relate to

:19:05.:19:08.

comments made to the referee during a defeat to London Irish.

:19:08.:19:12.

Now to the woman who has fought the beaches of the Fiji for winter in

:19:12.:19:16.

the Lake District. All in the hopes of succeeding at the Olympics.

:19:16.:19:23.

Yes, judo player Sisi is one of a host of all Indians from the South

:19:23.:19:26.

Pacific who is training in the north-west ahead of the Olympic

:19:26.:19:36.
:19:36.:19:45.

Sun, sea, sand. Treaty offers many things, but a wealth of judo

:19:45.:19:50.

expertise is not one of them. That is why Sisi finds herself living

:19:50.:20:00.
:20:00.:20:03.

She is honing the skills we have seen her compete at two Olympics

:20:03.:20:06.

and won a Commonwealth Games bronze medal. With The Help of her

:20:06.:20:11.

training partner, Cavan. It is an honour and privilege to be beaten

:20:11.:20:17.

up on a daily basis by Sisi. more they get beaten up the more

they learn, and all-day sudden they are beating you up. Next week!

is not the only athlete from the South Pacific training here in

:20:25.:20:32.

Kendal. The club is also home to a boxing team. All the athletes are

:20:32.:20:34.

using the north-west to access facilities unavailable in their own

:20:34.:20:38.

countries. Facilities like those at the

:20:38.:20:42.

University of Central Lancashire, where they are trying to improve

:20:42.:20:45.

Sisi's technique, to reduce the stress on a troublesome ankle.

:20:45.:20:50.

is standing here today going, while, I have never had this before. For

:20:50.:20:53.

us it is an everyday occurrence, but for these guys it is something

:20:53.:20:58.

new and dynamic. Kendal Judo Club is hoping the link-up with the

:20:58.:21:02.

Pacific islands will last longer than just the Olympics. Everyone

:21:02.:21:07.

there are working towards the next six months. They want to use the

:21:07.:21:11.

Kendal Judo Club as a base. It seems that despite regularly

:21:11.:21:16.

getting the better of all of her training partners on the judo mat,

:21:16.:21:22.

Sisi is welcome to stay here as long as he wants.

:21:22.:21:29.

-- as long as she wants. TT looks nice but a bit dull.

:21:29.:21:34.

Let's go to the Isle of man, and a man on a serious mission. 29-year-

:21:34.:21:38.

old architecture student Paul Ashley-Unett set off to break the

:21:38.:21:41.

world record for being the fastest man to cycle around the world.

:21:41.:21:46.

is heading south through England, sought would edit your window and

:21:46.:21:51.

you might catch him. He will be back in Douglas in a few days -- he

:21:51.:21:54.

wants to be back in fewer days than 106.

:21:54.:22:01.

One man, one bite at 18,000 miles. The equivalent of doing mind back

:22:01.:22:06.

to back to the France races in half the time. I will be working at

:22:06.:22:10.

around 5am and cycling from Liverpool to Hull, maybe, that is

:22:10.:22:14.

around 200 miles. I would love to be able to cycle that every day.

:22:14.:22:19.

After squeezing everything needed into these few backs, he will now

:22:19.:22:23.

left, eat and peace this endurance test, travelling all the way around

:22:23.:22:29.

the world, passing through 14 countries. There is no room for

:22:29.:22:31.

sightseeing were even in a luxury. Every night, having to find

:22:31.:22:34.

somewhere to sleep in my tent and sleeping bag will be quite

:22:35.:22:38.

difficult sometimes, I think. As long as I do not get discovered by

:22:38.:22:45.

wild animals I hope I will be no case.

:22:45.:22:50.

For someone to do those smiles on their own in all weathers and

:22:50.:22:54.

sleeping in a tent, is wonderful. It is one of those things that very

:22:54.:22:59.

few of us ever get round to doing. I take my hat off to him. He is

:22:59.:23:03.

leaving his friends, family and a few essentials behind. Try to save

:23:03.:23:08.

weight, so hopefully I will have a nice big beard by leaving my razor.

:23:08.:23:16.

It will show how far I have settled. -- how far I had cycled.

:23:16.:23:22.

A bid months on from a devastating fire, it -- an estate in Cheshire

:23:22.:23:28.

is celebrating a new start. A blaze which was started by a disgruntled

:23:28.:23:29.

patron caused thousands of pounds of damage.

:23:29.:23:35.

They are now looking forward to the future with confidence.

:23:35.:23:40.

This was the scene at the Castle last June. I had woken up to the

:23:40.:23:47.

fire alarms at around 4:40am. was a shock to the system. The fire

:23:47.:23:52.

caused �6 million worth of damage and was started deliberately by a
