Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Roger Johnson.

:00:06.:00:16.
:00:16.:00:20.

And Annabel Tiffin. Our top story: Great Manchester Police answer.

:00:20.:00:24.

Never would we expect in our worst nightmares PC Ian Terry would be

:00:24.:00:32.

killed by one of his colleagues. The force will be fined.

:00:32.:00:37.

Also tonight: Have the jab. Liverpool parents are

:00:37.:00:39.

urged to get their children vaccinated as a measles outbreak

:00:39.:00:45.

spreads. Victims of the recession - why more and more horses and ponys

:00:45.:00:48.

are being abandoned because their owners can't afford to keep them.

:00:48.:00:51.

And winning hearts, minds and medals - Dame Kelly Holmes visits

:00:51.:00:54.

Lancashire to inspire youngsters about the Olympics. Everyone is

:00:54.:00:58.

going to think this is the biggest showcase of sport in the world ever,

:00:58.:01:08.
:01:08.:01:10.

and it's come to our country. Who Greater Manchester Police is to be

:01:10.:01:14.

prosecuted over the death of one of its officers. PC Ian Terry was shot

:01:14.:01:17.

dead by a fellow officer during a training exercise in 2008. An

:01:17.:01:22.

inquest ruled he'd been unlawfully killed.

:01:22.:01:24.

Yesterday the Crown Prosecution Service said it wouldn't be

:01:24.:01:29.

bringing charges. But today the Health and Safety Executive said it

:01:29.:01:35.

would be taking the force to court. Our Chief Reporter Dave Guest is

:01:35.:01:41.

here in the studio with more. Ian Terry knew his job was

:01:41.:01:44.

potentially dangerous. He was, after all, expected to catch

:01:44.:01:47.

criminal, but it was a fellow officer, not a felon, who killed

:01:47.:01:51.

him. It was June 2008, and PC Ian Terry was playing the part of an

:01:51.:01:55.

armed suspect during a training exercise. A colleague shot him with

:01:55.:02:01.

one of these - it's called a rip round, and it's intended to

:02:01.:02:05.

puncture tyres or shoot through wood.

:02:05.:02:11.

Fired at close range, it killed him. In 2010, a jury decided he had been

:02:11.:02:17.

unlawfully killed. They had been told he was not wearing body armour.

:02:18.:02:21.

They deemed GMP's practisings to be inappropriate. Twice the Crown

:02:21.:02:25.

Prosecution Service has considered whether to press criminal charges

:02:25.:02:30.

and twice has decided not to, recently yesterday. Today, though,

:02:30.:02:33.

the Health and Safety Executive announced it would be taking GMP to

:02:33.:02:37.

court. In June this year it will be nearly four years since Ian

:02:37.:02:40.

tragically died, four years that his family and his colleagues have

:02:40.:02:50.

had to wait for this protected decision to be made., and today I

:02:50.:02:53.

would like again to extend our deepest apologies for the tragic

:02:53.:02:59.

loss of a much-loved father, son, brother and husband. His family's

:02:59.:03:03.

frustration was clear this afternoon. Although we welcomed

:03:03.:03:07.

today's decision by the HSE to prosecute Greater Manchester Police

:03:07.:03:10.

and two of the officers involved, we feel bitterly disappointed that

:03:10.:03:18.

the Crown Prosecution Service have decide not to prosecute anyone,

:03:18.:03:22.

including the individual who killed Ian. The real tragedy here is not

:03:22.:03:27.

only that we as a family have lost a wonderful husband, father, son

:03:27.:03:32.

and brother, but that Greater Manchester Police have lost a young,

:03:32.:03:37.

dedicated police officer who wanted to serve and protect others.

:03:37.:03:42.

Meanwhile, eight other officers have misconduct proceedings hanging

:03:42.:03:47.

over them. Four years on from his death, the Terry case is still far

:03:47.:03:49.

from resolved. Thank you very much.

:03:50.:03:52.

Meanwhile, a mother has been speaking for the first time about

:03:52.:03:56.

the death of her son - who was shot dead by Greater Manchester Police.

:03:56.:03:57.

An Independent Police Complaints Commission investigation is

:03:58.:04:00.

underway into the death of Anthony Grainger during a Police operation

:04:00.:04:03.

in the Cheshire village of Culcheth last weekend. No weapons have been

:04:03.:04:09.

found. Ian Haslam reports. Anthony Grainger was shot dead by a

:04:09.:04:13.

Police Officer, but it's not known why the officer opened fire. That,

:04:13.:04:15.

is what an Independent Police Complaints Commision investigation

:04:15.:04:19.

will now try to determine. It was in this car that he was killed, as

:04:19.:04:21.

officers from Greater Manchester Police investigated an alleged

:04:21.:04:28.

robbery plot. I expect to get that the police have murdered my son.

:04:28.:04:31.

And if it comes to that conclusion, I want the officer charged with

:04:31.:04:35.

murder and the other officers charged with conspiracy to murder.

:04:35.:04:40.

That's what I want at the end of the day. If it comes out that this

:04:40.:04:47.

is an unlawful killing, that's what I hope and pray for.

:04:47.:04:53.

It was in this car he was killed as officers from Greater Manchester

:04:53.:04:56.

Police investigated a robbery plot. His mother is unsure why he was in

:04:56.:05:02.

the car. I don't know why. I mean, he was a grown man. He was 36 years

:05:02.:05:08.

old, so you don't know, do you? I just know he was my son, a loving

:05:08.:05:16.

son. He was good to his brothers, and he adored his two children.

:05:16.:05:22.

That's - that's all. Three men have since been remanded in custody

:05:22.:05:26.

charged with conspiracy to commit robbery. No mother should have to

:05:26.:05:31.

hear a child's died, especially in the circumstances in which he died.

:05:31.:05:35.

He was murdered on my birthday. From that day forward, I will never,

:05:35.:05:45.
:05:45.:05:47.

ever celebrate my birthday again. How could I?

:05:47.:05:50.

Hundreds of disabled people in the north-west could be at risk of

:05:50.:06:00.
:06:00.:06:04.

losing their jobs as Remploy plans to close seven factories, including

:06:04.:06:14.

Bolton, Manchester, Oldham, Wigan, Barrow, Birkenhead and Preston.

:06:14.:06:17.

The new Dean of Liverpool Cathedral is to be Canon Dr Pete Wilcox.

:06:17.:06:20.

Canon Wilcox is currently based at Lichfield Cathedral - but will

:06:20.:06:23.

start in Liverpool in September. The father of two - who's married

:06:23.:06:26.

to the novelist Catherine Fox - will be the seventh holder of the

:06:26.:06:28.

post. Next, one of the six UK soldiers

:06:28.:06:31.

thought to be killed in Afghanistan is from the 1st Battalion the Duke

:06:31.:06:34.

of Lancaster's Regiment - which recruits mainly in the North West.

:06:34.:06:36.

The soldier and five others from the 3rd Battalion the Yorkshire

:06:36.:06:40.

Regiment were travelling in a Warrior armoured vehicle when it

:06:40.:06:48.

caught in an explosion. Peter Marshal is at Fulwood Barracks. We

:06:48.:06:52.

don't know the identity of the soldier or where he was based but

:06:52.:06:59.

it still must be a sombre day there at the barracks. They're actually

:06:59.:07:03.

based at Catterick barracks. These feelings are felt by everyone at

:07:03.:07:07.

headquarters and indeed in the local area. The regiment has been

:07:07.:07:11.

given the freedom of 25 cities and towns in the north-west. That gives

:07:11.:07:14.

you an idea of the esteem they're held with in this area. It's

:07:14.:07:19.

looking more and more likely this vehicle was hit by an IED laid by

:07:19.:07:23.

the Taliban, and the loss of six soldiers is the biggest loss of

:07:23.:07:27.

life in a single incident in Afghanistan since 2006 since 14

:07:27.:07:32.

personnel were killed when a nimrod crashed. One local MP around here,

:07:32.:07:37.

films a former soldier, has had this to say. Indeed, one of the

:07:37.:07:43.

soldiers was a member of the Duke of Lancashire's Regiment. My

:07:43.:07:47.

thoughts are with his family and all of those who have given the

:07:47.:07:53.

ultimate sacrifice in fighting in Afghanistan. The soldiers were in a

:07:53.:07:56.

Warrior. These have been the subject of controversy in the past,

:07:56.:08:01.

haven't they? Yes, four soldiers were killed in Iraq in April 2007

:08:01.:08:05.

in one of these. Among them was 19- year-old Kingsman Adam Smith, just

:08:05.:08:11.

19 from Liverpool serving with the 2nd Battalion Duke of Lancaster

:08:11.:08:18.

Regiment. At the inquest into their deaths, the coroner said soldiers

:08:18.:08:21.

needed better equipment. The Government responded saying there

:08:21.:08:26.

would be a �1 billion upgrade. It's not known whether the latest

:08:26.:08:28.

vehicle involved in the incident had been involved in the upgrade

:08:28.:08:32.

process. Thank you very much. The RSPCA says it's struggling to

:08:32.:08:36.

cope with a record number of dead or dying horses being dumped in the

:08:36.:08:42.

north-west. It says imagines which could be rehomed are being

:08:42.:08:47.

abandoned because their owners can't or won't pay for treatment.

:08:47.:08:51.

One pony was found stumbling around in an industrial estate, another

:08:51.:08:57.

was dumped in Bolton. You may find this report upsetting.

:08:57.:09:01.

This is Delilah. She was found in Rochdale around three weeks ago in

:09:01.:09:06.

a terrible state full of lice, worms and very, very thin.

:09:06.:09:10.

I called the vet out, and the vet said another 24 hours, she would

:09:10.:09:15.

have probably had to be put to sleep. The vet certified she needed

:09:15.:09:19.

removing. Otherwise that would have happened.

:09:19.:09:23.

The horses taken in by the charity are making good progress with food

:09:23.:09:28.

and proper care, but it's expensive. Throughout the country, the RSPCA

:09:28.:09:33.

is looking after about 500 horses and ponies like this. Around half

:09:33.:09:37.

of those are in the north. One of the main reasons is the cost of

:09:37.:09:43.

keeping an animal, around �15 a day to keep a pony like this in good

:09:43.:09:47.

condition. With some ponies only fetching �25 at sales, the number

:09:47.:09:51.

of abandoned animals has soared. This dead two-year-old was

:09:51.:09:58.

discovered on a street in Bolton. Another pony was found in Foal

:09:58.:10:01.

wandering around an industrial estate in Stockport. She could give

:10:01.:10:05.

birth at any time. She has a leg injury. We called the vet out to

:10:05.:10:08.

have a look, and that leg injury is a chronic one. It has been there

:10:08.:10:12.

for over 12 months untreated. It's an injury that could have been

:10:12.:10:16.

treated very easily at the beginning. The RSPCA blames

:10:16.:10:19.

overbreeding and the economic climate, but says owners should

:10:19.:10:29.

call for help rather than leave an animal to suffer.

:10:29.:10:34.

Still to come: The practicalities of bereavement -

:10:34.:10:38.

our series on partners who have been widowed young examines the

:10:38.:10:42.

realities of everyday life. Apparently, there's a benefit for

:10:42.:10:46.

widows with children. And I have been widowed for 18 months. I only

:10:46.:10:51.

found out yesterday. And no reprieve - wind mere's Canada geese

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

The great operas are full of jealousy, murder and revenge, and

:11:01.:11:05.

Mozart even sends one of his characterers to hell, but we wonder

:11:05.:11:10.

what audiences will make of a new opera being performed for the first

:11:10.:11:15.

time in Liverpool tonight. Yes,Anya 17 traffics the grim subject of

:11:15.:11:21.

people trafficking. It tells the story of young woman tricked into

:11:21.:11:30.

coming to the UK into the sex trade. SINGING

:11:30.:11:35.

Anya is about to enter a seedy world of sexual exploitation.

:11:35.:11:40.

characters is representative of many young girls in - particularly

:11:40.:11:44.

Eastern Europe, but many places across the world.

:11:44.:11:47.

# I don't know # She's a young, innocent girl who

:11:47.:11:52.

falls in love, but it turns out to be a trick for her to fall into sex

:11:52.:12:00.

slavery in the West. Instead of digging into a romantic

:12:00.:12:05.

past, the opera focuses on a real problem of our times. We're talking

:12:05.:12:11.

about women that have been deceived, been told that they may have a job

:12:11.:12:13.

here. They're brought over by traffickers from other countries

:12:14.:12:19.

and then forced into the sex industry in brothels. I think as

:12:19.:12:22.

communities, we need to know what we're looking for and to raise

:12:22.:12:29.

awareness of that. It's a scaled- down concert performance. With

:12:29.:12:35.

backing, it could become a major production. Just two performances -

:12:35.:12:37.

one here tonight at the Philharmonic Hall here in Liverpool,

:12:37.:12:42.

another at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, but

:12:42.:12:46.

is there an audience for an opera about people trafficking? At the

:12:46.:12:50.

moment, there is an opera on in London, The Death of Klinghoffer

:12:50.:12:55.

about terrorism. I think opera can do that. If you go back to subjects

:12:55.:13:00.

like Kharmen and others, they were quite close to the bone, and they

:13:00.:13:10.
:13:10.:13:16.

Parents on Merseyside are being urged to get their children

:13:16.:13:19.

vaccinated following an outbreak of measles.

:13:19.:13:22.

Health professionals say the majority of cases are in children

:13:22.:13:27.

under five who haven't had the MMR vaccine and among babies and

:13:27.:13:35.

toddler whros are too young to be vaccinated.

:13:35.:13:39.

Three children got measles and so did her granddaughter because she

:13:39.:13:44.

never got them vaccinated after the scare over autism a few years ago.

:13:44.:13:48.

A link to MMR has since been shown to be unfounded, and her advice to

:13:49.:13:52.

parents is to get the vaccine. Definitely get it because I

:13:52.:13:55.

wouldn't like any other parent to go through what I have gone through

:13:55.:14:01.

this last month. It has been quite bad. In Merseyside and Cheshire

:14:01.:14:06.

there are 48 confirmed cases. There could be many more. 7,300 children

:14:06.:14:09.

could be at risk. Here at the Health and Safety Executive in

:14:09.:14:14.

Liverpool, a team is working full- time on measles cases and is being

:14:14.:14:24.

treated in thea same way as the swine flu pandemic three years ago.

:14:24.:14:28.

We will hopefully limit the transmission, and also by

:14:28.:14:34.

identifying vulnerable contacts of cases and offer them some

:14:34.:14:36.

protection, we can minimise transmission. The outbreak has

:14:36.:14:46.
:14:46.:14:48.

spread from Liverpool to Halton and St Helens, Knowsley, Sefton, Wirral

:14:48.:14:52.

and Warrington. At this lab in Manchester, the samples are being

:14:52.:14:56.

tested and monitored daily. Normally, we don't see measles

:14:56.:15:00.

except for particular times of the year. Now we're seeing two to three,

:15:00.:15:04.

five cases - it varies day to day, but we're seeing that number

:15:04.:15:08.

regularly on a daily basis. Measles is serious, and in some cases can

:15:08.:15:12.

be fatal. People who have not yet responded are being urged to

:15:12.:15:21.

contact their GPs to bring this For the next part in our series

:15:21.:15:25.

looking at the experiences of people who have lost their partners

:15:25.:15:28.

at a young age. We have been talking to Peter, who lost his wife

:15:28.:15:32.

Sophie, and Clare, whose husband John died when they were both in

:15:32.:15:37.

their 30s. It's a day they have been telling

:15:37.:15:41.

Stuart Polit what it's like to deal with the practicalities in the

:15:41.:15:51.
:15:51.:15:54.

midst of losing a loved one. When she went, that was massive

:15:54.:15:57.

hole in the practical finance end of things, which you don't really

:15:57.:16:00.

want to think about, but at the end of the day, you need to pay the

:16:00.:16:04.

mortgage. Obviously, you have to let everybody know - all the banks

:16:04.:16:07.

and the building societies. I had to go to Chester to go to the bank

:16:07.:16:11.

and sat there heavily pregnant saying, "My husband has just died.

:16:11.:16:16.

What do I do about these accounts?" I had to sort out a headstone. I

:16:16.:16:21.

had to go to the stone mason's and look at the lettering. I was 33. I

:16:21.:16:27.

didn't expect I was going to have to deal with that. Luckily, less

:16:27.:16:31.

than a week before we'd both taken out life insurance which I would

:16:31.:16:36.

advise to everyone. I know times are hard, but if we hadn't had it,

:16:36.:16:42.

I don't know what we would have done. Thank goodness he was in

:16:42.:16:46.

Kimberly Clark's pension scheme. We received financial help from them,

:16:46.:16:49.

without whom we wouldn't have been able to survive. Is there enough

:16:49.:16:53.

help for people like you to deal with that side of it? I don't think

:16:53.:16:57.

there is any help. I know sometimes the Government does say that there

:16:57.:17:01.

is this and there is that, but I only found out yesterday that

:17:01.:17:10.

apparently there is a benefit for widows with children. That is one

:17:10.:17:14.

of the great things about the Wave Foundation. We're all in the same

:17:14.:17:21.

boat. You put something on either the message board or the WAY page

:17:21.:17:24.

on Facebook, and you can guarantee somebody else would have had the

:17:24.:17:32.

same issue. Everything was straight forward.. I know a lot of people in

:17:33.:17:37.

Way who had a lot of problems. Neither of us had a will. It was

:17:37.:17:42.

hard work. It took ages and ages to sort out. It would be good if you

:17:42.:17:47.

could make one call or just stopping junk mail, which can be

:17:47.:17:51.

upsetting to the kids when they see mummy's name every day. From that

:17:51.:17:57.

point of view, it does take a lot of sorting out, then probably at

:17:57.:18:03.

the point of life when you're least likely to want to do any paperwork.

:18:03.:18:06.

Peter and Clare have spoken very candidly and emotionally about

:18:06.:18:12.

their situation. It struck a chord with everybody. Please do get in

:18:12.:18:15.

touch if you have something to say. We may revisit some of your stories

:18:16.:18:19.

later in the week. Stuart's piece continues tomorrow.

:18:19.:18:24.

Now, the proposed cull of Canada geese on wind mere is to go ahead.

:18:24.:18:26.

The authorities in the Lake District ruled today there are too

:18:26.:18:30.

many of them, and some will have to But the campaign to save them is

:18:30.:18:36.

hotting up, as Mark Edwardson explains.

:18:36.:18:39.

For almost one in five of these birds, their goose is already

:18:39.:18:43.

cooked. The Lake District National Park Authority and its partners are

:18:43.:18:48.

going to cull between 15 and 20% of wind mere's Canada geese because

:18:48.:18:52.

it's felt they're an unpleasant nuisance and big polluters.

:18:52.:18:56.

Canada goose will go to the toilet 26 times a day. They can deposit as

:18:56.:19:01.

much as two pounds of droppings. If you multiply that with a large

:19:01.:19:05.

number of birds, particularly when they're flocking together, that has

:19:05.:19:09.

a big impact on the ground and people's enjoyment. 200 geese will

:19:09.:19:13.

be shot this year. That might be followed by another cull.

:19:13.:19:17.

A lot of visitors are going to be put off. It might be short term,

:19:17.:19:20.

but nevertheless, it's not good. It's not good for the Lake District.

:19:20.:19:23.

This is a beautiful area. It's one I am passionate about and its

:19:23.:19:27.

wildlife, and I can see no reason whatsoever for the way in which the

:19:27.:19:31.

National Park Authority have gone about this matter.

:19:31.:19:35.

Visitors, often blamed for encouraging large numbers of the

:19:35.:19:38.

geese because of they feed them, had mixed views. It's a great

:19:38.:19:42.

impact on what they're doing to the virplt - I can't see it. It's a

:19:42.:19:47.

good idea, yeah. They are very messy. I don't agree. Leave nature

:19:47.:19:51.

to itself. As far as the National Park authority is concerned the

:19:51.:19:55.

cull of Canada geese like these is going to start as soon as spring

:19:56.:19:58.

arrives that could be as early as next month. The campaigners say

:19:58.:20:02.

they're going to keep up their protests starting Saturday in

:20:02.:20:12.
:20:12.:20:12.

On to sport. Tony is here. More revelations today about the amount

:20:12.:20:22.
:20:22.:20:23.

of money Blackpool Football Club has paid to companies run by Owen

:20:23.:20:32.

Oyston. On Monday we told you that Owen

:20:32.:20:34.

Oyston's company, Zabaxe, had received eleven million pounds from

Blackpool Football Club. That was more than the wages paid to all the

players and the manager put together. Some fans were so angry

:20:40.:20:45.

they called on Mr. Oyston to pay some of that money back. What was

:20:45.:20:50.

the money for? Some for the stadium complex.

:20:50.:20:55.

The club has bought the freehold of the hotel back from him. The other

repayment of the item was money lent to the club. Some fans are

angry, but others are more relaxed. They say he saved them from

Eight years on, and it's still one of the great sporting moments -

gold in the 850 metres in Athens means Dame Kelly Holmes will always

be regarded as an Olympic great. Your theme of going for gold of

A fantastic athlete, very determined to do well and to

perfect her ability in that 800 metres. She's already shown that

:22:49.:22:59.
:22:59.:22:59.

she's up there with the best of the world.

:22:59.:23:03.

She was in the team when I used to run. We were very close. I think

:23:03.:23:07.

she's incredible how she's moved up in diss the answer, but her

:23:07.:23:17.

standard hasn't waivered. She's getting better and better. If

:23:17.:23:23.

anyone was going to put a bet on a potential medallist, it's someone

like that she has the advantage that she knows she can compete

against the best in the world. lucky student who will help carry

was 11 and being amazed - I couldn't believe she won both of

them. I can't believe I am holding It would be great if some of our

:23:52.:23:56.

athletes could replicate that. If you're a Manchester City fan or

:23:56.:24:00.

even a music fan, don't miss the show tomorrow. We've got news of a

:24:00.:24:04.

very special meeting of minds - Noel Gallagher has interviewed one

:24:04.:24:08.

of Manchester City's more flamboyant star, shall we say. I am

not allowed to say who it is, but if they're on there, will be

fireworks. I think you may have just given it away. A sneaky clue.

:24:17.:24:25.

It was a lively day today with bouncey showers in parts. Tomorrow

:24:25.:24:29.

looks like it's going to be a fairly quiet day with quite a bit

:24:29.:24:34.

of cloud cover. Temperatures around 10 Celsius. Through the day today,

the showers, the band of rain first thing in the morning - I am

desperately trying to get the charts to move on so you'll have to

:24:42.:24:45.

stick with what I am saying - here we go. In Blackpool this afternoon,

:24:45.:24:49.

as they turned up, your temperatures went from 8 Celsius to

:24:49.:24:53.

5 Celsius in the space of about ten minutes as they move their way

:24:53.:24:56.

through. This is our latest picture. They're still around in parts, but

:24:56.:25:01.

I think the story really should be for them to die away as you head

:25:01.:25:03.

towards midnight. Before midnight, one or two will still continue, and

:25:03.:25:07.

on those winds, they will be fairly lively. After midnight, many will

:25:07.:25:12.

die away. We'll see a bit of clear weather before midnight. Cloud

:25:12.:25:15.

afterwards. Temperatures will be cold in parting. Those showers rise

:25:15.:25:19.

over the high ground and meet the cold air - there could be wintry

:25:19.:25:24.

weather. 2-3 Celsius is your minimum. We go into tomorrow, and

:25:24.:25:28.

the best of any winter weather will be first thing. As the morning

:25:28.:25:31.

progresses, cloud cover breaking for places, so there should be some

:25:31.:25:35.

spells of sunshine coming through. But after lunch the cloud cover

:25:35.:25:40.

rolls on back all over again. It's quiet because the wind has changed

:25:40.:25:44.

direction - it's more a south- westerly and not strong at all. In

:25:44.:25:47.

theory, your temperatures could get to 9-10 Celsius. It's worth noting

:25:47.:25:50.

there could be more sightings of the northern lights over the next

:25:50.:25:55.

couple of nights. Tomorrow night could be a favoured sighting time,

:25:55.:26:01.

We were just wondering whether you're promise of a quiet day
