Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Tony Livesey and

:00:02.:00:06.

Annabel Tiffin. Our top story: The 90-year-old left to crawl naked

:00:06.:00:10.

and smeared in filth. A BUPA care home boss is found guilty of

:00:10.:00:18.

neglect. I hope that everyone who is involved in care and involved in

:00:18.:00:22.

looking after people takes on board what the judge has said. The How

:00:22.:00:25.

can we trust those who say they'll look after our families?

:00:25.:00:28.

Also tonight, marching in memory - the service commemorating six

:00:28.:00:30.

British soldiers killed in Afghanistan, two from the North

:00:30.:00:40.
:00:40.:00:43.

West. The parents of Oliver petition to stop sudden-death

:00:43.:00:46.

happening to other children. And the pensioner going Roman

:00:46.:00:56.
:00:56.:01:02.

across Britain, 96-year-old Doris The manager of a care home in

:01:02.:01:05.

Liverpool has been given a suspended prison sentence for the

:01:05.:01:07.

wilful neglect of a 90-year-old dementia sufferer. Joyce Farrow's

:01:07.:01:09.

family found her dirty and dehydrated at the Stonedale Lodge

:01:09.:01:14.

home in Croxteth. The judge was also highly critical of the way

:01:14.:01:22.

Joyce Farrow was a grandmother and great-grandmother. When she got

:01:22.:01:25.

dementia, her family put her in the Stonedale Lodge care home in

:01:25.:01:30.

Croxteth. But she often fell out of bed and then got sores on her feet

:01:30.:01:33.

from crawling around. Her daughter says she was often dirty and

:01:33.:01:43.
:01:43.:01:43.

dehydrated. There are ways to Downing, ways to go. And cold,

:01:43.:01:51.

undernourished, underfed and bruised is not the right way. --

:01:51.:01:54.

there are ways to die. Mrs Farrow died in hospital, though

:01:54.:01:57.

the court heard death was unrelated to the neglect. The woman who

:01:57.:02:01.

managed Stonedale was Karen Southern. Today she was jailed for

:02:01.:02:03.

eight months, suspended for two years, for wilful neglect. The

:02:03.:02:06.

court heard BUPA put her under pressure to keep costs down.

:02:06.:02:13.

Outside court, Mrs Southern's lawyer spoke on her behalf.

:02:13.:02:17.

wholeheartedly apologise to her family for this serious lack of

:02:17.:02:22.

care provided to Joyce. While in my care as home manager, at Stonedale

:02:22.:02:27.

Lodge. I fully accept that as the home manager, I should have done

:02:27.:02:30.

more to protect Joyce. BUPA received �4,500 of public

:02:30.:02:34.

money and personal pension for the care Mrs Farrow received. Judge

:02:34.:02:43.

Mark Brown was highly critical of BUPA. For example, Karen Southern

:02:43.:02:49.

had no budget for agency people if her own staff went sick. In fact,

:02:49.:02:53.

BUPA had a policy of naming and shaming its managers who had to pay

:02:53.:03:03.
:03:03.:03:08.

for Agency help. The judge said Joyce Farrow's family hope

:03:08.:03:12.

companies like BUPA will take notice of what the judge said. She

:03:12.:03:20.

also wants laypeople to sit on the Earlier I spoke to Stephen Lowe,

:03:20.:03:23.

the police adviser for care services at Age UK. I pointed out

:03:23.:03:26.

that as this wasn't the first incident of it's kind, why were

:03:26.:03:34.

standards in the industry so consistently poor? I don't think

:03:34.:03:39.

you should say that standards are poor all across the care home

:03:39.:03:45.

industry, there are some very good care homes. What is increasingly

:03:45.:03:49.

happening is that funding is getting tighter and tighter, local

:03:49.:03:53.

authorities are not increasing their fees every year and care

:03:53.:03:57.

homes are trying to provide... Forgive me in this incident, this

:03:57.:04:03.

was a private care home. BUPA funded. At this point, the judge

:04:03.:04:08.

said it put profits before care. How can families just their

:04:08.:04:13.

decisions about these? It is about whether a care home and that is

:04:13.:04:19.

about the quality of the staff and that is what you need to look at.

:04:19.:04:23.

Does it look like there are enough staff that are there to be able to

:04:23.:04:26.

provide a different standard. A only recently, the Prime Minister

:04:26.:04:34.

had to remind nurses in the NHS that caring was the prime concern

:04:34.:04:44.

so are we confident that staff are It is a shoestring service, care

:04:44.:04:48.

staff are employed on the lowest possible wages. They are frequently

:04:48.:04:53.

in short supply and that is becoming increasingly a problem for

:04:53.:05:01.

So many people facing this terrible decision about what will happen to

:05:01.:05:05.

family members, what can you tell them if their instincts are not to

:05:05.:05:09.

be trusted? What should they do now? Not all care homes are barred,

:05:09.:05:14.

there are some good ones. And my advice to somebody looking for care

:05:14.:05:20.

home places for a relative is that you need to visit them. You need to

:05:20.:05:25.

look at where that there are enough staff. If you visit at meal times

:05:25.:05:29.

which is when staff are most stretched, and see if individual

:05:29.:05:35.

residents are getting individual care and attention they need. At

:05:35.:05:40.

Age UK, we publish a fact sheet on choosing care home places which

:05:40.:05:44.

gives you a checklist of things to look for that you should take with

:05:44.:05:52.

you. You use more to it, thank you. -- useful tips, thank you.

:05:52.:05:54.

Six British soldiers, killed in an explosion in Afghanistan, have been

:05:54.:05:57.

remembered during a church service this morning. The soldiers,

:05:57.:06:00.

including two from the North West, were killed when a Taliban bomb

:06:00.:06:02.

destroyed their Warrior armoured vehicle in Helmand. Our reporter

:06:02.:06:05.

Nicola Rees is in the Wiltshire town of Warminster where the

:06:05.:06:08.

service has been held. A short time ago, I asked her what had happened

:06:08.:06:15.

this morning. 400 soldiers marched through the centre of Warminster

:06:15.:06:19.

and thousands of people spilled out onto the streets to see them ahead

:06:19.:06:22.

of their deployment to Afghanistan. Some people had travelled hundreds

:06:22.:06:27.

of miles to be there. It was a day of celebration and pride but of

:06:27.:06:31.

course, tinged with sadness. And last week, the news that six

:06:31.:06:35.

soldiers were killed in Afghanistan by a roadside bomb. Two of them

:06:35.:06:42.

from the north-west. They were Sergeant Mr Speaker, from first

:06:42.:06:47.

Battalion the Duke of Lancasters and Daniel Wade, a soldier with 3rd

:06:47.:06:53.

Battalion the Yorkshire Regiment. The regiment marching ahead of the

:06:53.:06:56.

deployment to Afghanistan. It was the worst loss of life since

:06:57.:07:00.

operations began in Afghanistan and today people remembered the fallen.

:07:00.:07:07.

They it was a very sad day. Very emotional. When it is a group of

:07:08.:07:14.

lads like that, it is heartbreaking. The whole community answer billion

:07:14.:07:19.

community have turned out. And the church service had already

:07:19.:07:22.

turned out but to two recent events, it must have been much more

:07:22.:07:30.

poignant? -- due to recent events. It had been planned as a farewell

:07:30.:07:33.

parade for the shoulders heading out to Afghanistan. Changes were

:07:33.:07:39.

made. -- for the soldiers. Changes included an act of remembrance to

:07:39.:07:45.

the former soldiers and Last Post was heard and a roll of honour was

:07:45.:07:53.

heard. Even before deploying in a fortnight's time, the repatriation

:07:53.:08:00.

of the fallen comrades takes place Five members of a Liverpool gang

:08:00.:08:03.

which carried out contract shootings across the city have been

:08:03.:08:06.

jailed for life. Woolwich Crown Court heard how a grenade had been

:08:06.:08:08.

left outside the home of Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish during a

:08:08.:08:11.

botched attack on one of his neighbours. Two members of the gang,

:08:11.:08:14.

Tony Downes and Kirk Bradley, escaped from a prison van in

:08:14.:08:19.

Salford last year. Bradley is still on the run.

:08:19.:08:22.

Warren Bradley, the former Liberal Democrat leader of Liverpool City

:08:22.:08:24.

Council admitted perjury today following an investigation into

:08:24.:08:29.

electoral fraud allegations. Bradley signed his son Daniel's

:08:29.:08:31.

form to stand in last year's elections, although Daniel wasn't

:08:31.:08:39.

present and had not yet signed the form himself. Bradley was fined

:08:39.:08:46.

�1,000. Just over a year ago, Mark King

:08:46.:08:50.

dropped his son off to school like he did most days, only to be called

:08:50.:08:53.

a few hours later to be told he had lost his life. The youngster

:08:54.:08:56.

collapsed during a swimming race and died fiom sudden arrhythmic

:08:56.:08:59.

death syndrome - also known as SADS. It's a heart condition that often

:08:59.:09:02.

has no symptoms and claims the lives of at least 12 children a

:09:03.:09:05.

week. But Oliver King's parents say a defibrillator could have improved

:09:05.:09:08.

his chances of surviving and could save lives. Today they launched an

:09:08.:09:11.

e-petition calling for the equipment to be put in all public

:09:11.:09:15.

places. Just over a year ago Oliver King

:09:15.:09:20.

from Liverpool died suddenly during a swimming lesson at his school. It

:09:20.:09:24.

was from a heart condition few of us may have heard of, but one that

:09:24.:09:28.

can be detected. His parents are finding it difficult to cope

:09:28.:09:36.

without him, but are focusing on a campaign to save lives. He was

:09:36.:09:41.

courteous, well-mannered, perfect will stop people used to call him a

:09:41.:09:47.

Ripple, because if they met him, he touched so many people. And this is

:09:47.:09:51.

why we are striving. I cannot sit back and let another family go

:09:51.:09:54.

through this devastation that we are still going through now.

:09:54.:09:56.

The 12-year-old died from sudden arrhythmic death syndrome which is

:09:56.:10:02.

caused by heart rhythm abnormalities. Today a petition was

:10:02.:10:04.

launched at his school calling for the introduction of screening to

:10:04.:10:07.

detect the condition, and also for all public places to have life-

:10:07.:10:16.

saving defibrillators by 2017. someone feints outside a school,

:10:16.:10:21.

you can get the first aid kit and rely on that and a glass of water.

:10:21.:10:25.

I look forward to the picture when you can go into a sports centre or

:10:25.:10:28.

School or library and find a defibrillator.

:10:28.:10:31.

Healthy youngsters are particularly vulnerable but it can affect anyone

:10:31.:10:39.

who puts a strain on their heart. We want the Government to look at

:10:39.:10:45.

this and it is not just the case of Oliver, 12 people lose their life

reporter is in the shadow of Pendle I am in St Mary's churchyard in

Pendle. It is said to contain one of the family graves of one of

:11:37.:11:41.

those executed for witchcraft all those centuries ago. Look at the

church there, embedded is a peculiar Stone called the eye of

sparked a piece of history that The centuries slipped by but still

:12:11.:12:15.

witches festival, a commemoration of the 400 the anniversary of the

:12:15.:12:20.

infamous witchcraft trials. Suddenly they were scapegoats in

:12:20.:12:24.

society. They stood out, they were different. We can learn a whole lot

:12:24.:12:27.

today about people who are different in society. Having

:12:27.:12:31.

tolerance for them. It happened in the reign of James the first he

:12:31.:12:38.

made witchcraft a hanging offence. The names entered folklore as

:12:38.:12:42.

witches. In reality, they were victims of persecution, intolerance

:12:42.:12:48.

and family feuding. They were poor, simple country folk. They probably

:12:48.:12:53.

made a few pennies by selling potions. I have no doubt they were

:12:53.:12:58.

a bit naughty but I don't believe they were wicked, evil people.

years on, you should not underestimate the power of the

story to the local economy. They see it attracts thousands upon

:13:04.:13:10.

thousands of visitors every year. They know the story already having

read it in the history books. They come to Pendle for the story and

�79 million worth to the district every year.

:13:39.:13:43.

festival will be on 18th August when they tried to set this new

:13:43.:13:48.

world record for the greatest number of people dressed as witches

:13:48.:13:53.

on the slopes of Pendle Hill. They are hoping to get more than 2000.

:13:53.:13:58.

Ideally, 2012 to match the year. It is light and dark and I am in a

:14:08.:14:19.

church yard in Which? -- in Sport Relief is next weekend and

:14:19.:14:24.

our radio reporter set off on a tandem with special guests to join

:14:24.:14:31.

their bit. They include comedian Ted Robbins and our very own Roger

:14:31.:14:35.

Johnson. Roger joined them both for a little bit - and we mean a little

:14:35.:14:45.
:14:45.:14:51.

Ted Robbins and myself are not the finest specimens. You have got to

:14:51.:14:57.

keep yourself in tip-top condition. You have let yourself go! Whereas

:14:57.:15:06.

the bar? -- where it is the bar? I like my seat to be lowered to the

:15:06.:15:10.

ground and I am having stabilisers fitted. Have they arrived? Yes.

:15:10.:15:19.

Thank you. Keep going, I am paddling! Pilot Graham Liver has a

:15:19.:15:25.

cycling pedigree, he went a fair distance for children macro two

:15:25.:15:35.
:15:35.:15:36.

If I was on the front and a small person was on the back, I would say

:15:36.:15:41.

it it is like having a parcel. is it like with Ted Robbins on the

:15:41.:15:49.

back was Mike I could not hold him up! She is not the only one. It

:15:49.:15:52.

coincides with the Guild celebrations and the City will open

:15:52.:15:56.

a 21 mile circuit. It will encourage more locals to take up

:15:56.:16:02.

cycling. It is a great route, linking the city to the countryside.

:16:02.:16:12.
:16:12.:16:12.

That should be a doddle! He will cycle the glory leg to the finish

:16:12.:16:17.

and that is if the bike is still intact after my journey from Stoke

:16:17.:16:23.

to Salford. Come on, Graham Liver, come on Johnson, put your back into

:16:23.:16:33.
:16:33.:16:40.

A bit too close and personal for me, that.

:16:40.:16:43.

If that's inspired you to do your bit for this year's Sport Relief,

:16:43.:16:47.

why not sign up to your local Sport Relief mile on Sunday 25th March?

:16:47.:16:51.

And if you want to help Graham and his gang as they pedal back to

:16:51.:16:57.

Preston, go to bbc.co.uk/lancashire. Now to the sport and Richard is out

:16:57.:17:00.

and about at Salford City Reds tonight where the Super League

:17:00.:17:03.

champions Leeds Rhinos are the visitors. The City Reds will

:17:03.:17:06.

certainly be hoping for a better result than Fergie's Reds had last

:17:06.:17:15.

night. Yes, they will. It will not be easy for Salford tonight. The

:17:16.:17:18.

visit of the Super League champions in their new stadium. The first

:17:18.:17:24.

time I have had a chance to see it inside, an absolute cracker. This

:17:24.:17:30.

is the under 20s much going on. A bad night for Manchester United and

:17:30.:17:35.

City in the Europa League, both knocked out, united by Athletic

:17:35.:17:44.

Bilbao. City won on the night but went out on the away-goals rule to

:17:44.:17:48.

Sporting. Lots of the fans are not bothered and are looking forward to

:17:48.:17:56.

the real battle for the Premier League title.

:17:56.:17:59.

Out of a competition many thought they'd walk. English football's top

:17:59.:18:02.

two ran into Europa League opposition who were far from second

:18:02.:18:05.

rate. And after being outplayed by the side seventh in La Liga there

:18:05.:18:10.

were no excuses from Sir Alex Ferguson. We cannot complain about

:18:10.:18:16.

the result. They were a better team. And just like the first leg, it was

:18:16.:18:19.

the Spanish side who hit their straps. Lorente hitting a sublime

:18:19.:18:22.

volley to stun United, who went even further behind after the break.

:18:22.:18:25.

Wayne Rooney's superb strike, only a late consolation. But back at Old

:18:25.:18:28.

Trafford today many United fans feel their exit is a blessing in

:18:28.:18:36.

disguise. I am glad they are out. We can concentrate on the league.

:18:36.:18:40.

It was mainly a distraction, that is why we were not doing so well in

:18:40.:18:45.

the early. Most of the blue half of Manchester expected the side to

:18:45.:18:50.

overturn a 1-0 deficit. Very disappointed. We should concentrate

:18:50.:18:55.

every season on every match to win it. Was not a good result, to be

:18:55.:19:01.

honest. Not very happy but at least we can focus on the Premier League.

:19:01.:19:04.

In a nightmare first half, City conceded two goals and effectively

:19:04.:19:11.

the tie as over. Some fans certainly thought so. Very

:19:11.:19:14.

disappointed with the way the game went.

:19:14.:19:16.

Those supporters that had had enough missed a dramatic second-

:19:16.:19:20.

half come-back that just fell short. After two goals from Aguerro and a

:19:20.:19:22.

nonchalant Balotelli penalty, Joe Hart's last-gasp header was inches

:19:22.:19:28.

away from giving City an amazing victory. I thought it had gone in

:19:28.:19:33.

and I did not realise it was such a good save by the goalkeeper.

:19:33.:19:37.

never comes through but, oh, well. Either way, it's the Premier League

:19:37.:19:40.

both managers really want to win and the all-Manchester battle for

:19:40.:19:44.

the title will now really hot up. Now to this weekend's FA Cup

:19:44.:19:47.

quarter-finals, and Liverpool go into their tie against Stoke aiming

:19:47.:19:51.

for their second trophy of the season. Having already won the

:19:51.:19:54.

Carling Cup, fans are keen to return to Wembley. Some of them are

:19:54.:19:57.

wondering if it might be an all- Merseyside FA Cup Final, like the

:19:57.:20:00.

ones in 1986 and 1989. Everton manager David Moyes would love to

:20:00.:20:03.

win his first trophy after ten years at Goodison. Bolton, who play

:20:03.:20:07.

Spurs, want to win the Cup for the first time since 1958 but admit

:20:07.:20:17.
:20:17.:20:18.

that avoiding relegation is their priority. We are under no illusions,

:20:18.:20:23.

we want to remain in the Premier League but we must also continue to

:20:23.:20:26.

progress in the Cup. Saturday will let us know if we can reach the

:20:26.:20:33.

final four. We must beat Sunderland, a very good form team. Martin

:20:33.:20:37.

O'Neill has done a great job. It is a tough time for us but I am sure

:20:37.:20:40.

he knows it is a tough time for them as well.

:20:40.:20:43.

Full commentary on your local BBC radio stations.

:20:43.:20:47.

There's good news tonight for FC United, the football club set up by

:20:47.:20:49.

fans angry at the take-over of Manchester United by the Glazer

:20:49.:20:54.

family. The Northern Premier League club has raised �1.6 million

:20:54.:20:57.

through a supporters' share issue to help pay for a new football

:20:57.:21:07.
:21:07.:21:07.

ground and community facility at Moston in North Manchester. We can

:21:07.:21:10.

see some pictures there. Boxing, and Ricky Hatton's brother

:21:10.:21:13.

Matthew says his new baby daughter is giving him more sleepless nights

:21:13.:21:17.

than tomorrow's opponent, Kell Brook. Matthew came face to face

:21:17.:21:20.

with Brook at the weigh-in in Sheffield today ahead of their

:21:20.:21:23.

The head coach, Phil. Thank you for joining us. Let's look at the match

tonight. How important is it that your sight bounce-back? Pretty

important. Not the be-all and end- all of the season but we speak

about improving on a weekly basis. We had a hiccup last week in France

and we want to rectify that. will see a couple of tries from

Taylor, walking away! What do you imagine you'll be doing

:23:31.:23:35.

in your nineties, assuming you make it to that age? Most of us would

:23:35.:23:39.

feel we'd earned the right to put our feet up. But not Doris Hancock.

:23:39.:23:43.

Doris from Ambleside has packed a rucksack and begun an 84-mile walk.

:23:43.:23:52.

She's got the stick. She's got the boots. Has she got much experience

:23:52.:24:00.

of long-distance walking? I have not, really. I have never done a

:24:00.:24:04.

walk of any kind. When I first retired, I was younger and I would

:24:04.:24:09.

just go walking up the local hills. When I got older, people say I

:24:09.:24:14.

should not be doing that at my age. It's a bold effort for a woman born

What would you do in your nineties? I hope I am that fit and active.

you not think it is time to put your feet up when you are in your

:24:42.:24:46.

nineties? Why? It would be ideal if you could still do it. I would like

to get there first. As Doris strides out along

week, fairly dreary and depressing, things will definitely changed

through the weekend. It will be cooler with rain at times but

:25:52.:25:56.

crucially there will also be some sunshine. Today went exactly as
