Tonight with Annabel Tiffen and Roger Johnson. Our top story. Two

earthquakes and warnings over greenhouse gases, but drilling for

:00:06.:00:16.
:00:16.:00:18.

shale gas can resume. It is such an unpredictable process. It really is

:00:18.:00:21.

an unknown quantity. Fracking gets the go-ahead subject

:00:21.:00:23.

to new safety measures. Also in the Programme:

:00:23.:00:26.

Failing to care for Amelia. A scandal-hit hospital apologises to

:00:26.:00:30.

the parents of a newborn baby who died there.

:00:30.:00:33.

Bringing shame on their families. A father's disgust at his daughter's

:00:33.:00:43.
:00:43.:00:44.

role in this fast-food fracas. I heard what had been happening, it

:00:44.:00:48.

was of disgust, disappointed in there, particularly.

:00:48.:00:51.

An accident waiting to happen. A court's told how a crane collapsed

:00:51.:00:53.

and paralysed its driver. And preparing for showtime. The

:00:53.:01:03.
:01:03.:01:10.

volunteers who'll bring this huge Last year it caused two earthquakes

:01:10.:01:14.

and widespread concern among some environmentalists. Today, experts

:01:14.:01:17.

said the controversial process of drilling for shale gas in

:01:17.:01:22.

Lancashire should be allowed to continue.

:01:23.:01:25.

An independent panel has given the green light provided new safety

:01:25.:01:29.

measures are put in place. Fracking, as it's known, could result in huge

:01:29.:01:32.

quantities of natural gas. But what is it? Here's our Environment

:01:32.:01:39.

Correspondent Colin Sykes. A bore hole is sunk into the rock

:01:39.:01:43.

at incredible depths, up to 9,000 feet. Then water and lubricants are

:01:43.:01:46.

forced down the pipeline at high pressure to fracture the rock and

:01:46.:01:50.

release the gas in the shale. With the water pumped out, the gas flows

:01:50.:01:54.

back up the pipeline for the next 20 years or so. It's estimated

:01:54.:01:57.

there's around 200 trillion cubic metres of gas in the shale, enough

:01:57.:02:05.

to supply the UK for several years. The aftermath of drilling for gas

:02:05.:02:11.

op farmland around Blackpool. Once the drill rig has gone. All that's

:02:11.:02:15.

left is the gas well-head. Exploratory drilling had been

:02:15.:02:24.

taking place for the past two years but stopped after the earth tremors.

:02:24.:02:28.

We are trying to put into place a mechanism of monitoring that allows

:02:28.:02:32.

us to see very small earthquakes very early in the process to take

:02:32.:02:37.

some remedial action. If that is done properly, I think we should be

:02:37.:02:42.

able to prevent larger earthquakes happening. This is an

:02:42.:02:49.

unconventional well. This is not new, this well head is still

:02:49.:02:55.

producing gas. But new techniques means the reserves are increasingly

:02:55.:03:01.

attractive. This was the last phase of the testing, but we are very

:03:01.:03:06.

optimistic. We know there is an enormous amount of gas here and

:03:06.:03:10.

this last phase of the programme is to determine how much we get out of

:03:10.:03:15.

the commercial rate. We hope we will know later this fall and have

:03:15.:03:25.
:03:25.:03:30.

an announcement. Market day in the village of Poulton. It was here the

:03:30.:03:34.

two tremors were felt last year. am not sure if they are doing

:03:34.:03:43.

enough to make sure that people are safe. The problem with cracking is,

:03:43.:03:48.

it is such an unpredictable process. It really is an unknown quantity.

:03:48.:03:52.

It is deep down beneath the surface of the Earth. For that reason, it

:03:52.:04:00.

is something we cannot possibly predict precisely. The report's

:04:00.:04:03.

findings goes out to public consultation with the ruling before

:04:03.:04:09.

the end of the year. There are concerns about this, how

:04:09.:04:13.

will the Government to address these concerns? This has been very

:04:13.:04:17.

controversial in the States and some developers have been under

:04:17.:04:21.

regulated so the Government is very anxious to get this right. What

:04:21.:04:26.

will happen after this report, there will be a consultation period

:04:26.:04:29.

for six weeks were local residents' groups and bodies will have the

:04:29.:04:33.

chance to have their say and then this is highly regulated so the

:04:33.:04:36.

Environment Agency at the Health and Safety Agency and Lancashire

:04:36.:04:41.

County Council, they will have their say, and it is only after

:04:41.:04:44.

that process that the Government will finally make a ruling on

:04:44.:04:47.

whether it will allow the extract some. A long way off being definite

:04:47.:04:55.

yet. A hospital at the centre of

:04:55.:04:58.

investigations into its maternity unit has apologised to the parents

:04:58.:05:01.

of a baby girl who died hours after being born there. Amelia Jade Bower

:05:01.:05:04.

died at Furness General Hospital after being admitted twice

:05:04.:05:10.

following her birth by an emergency caesarean. The hospital admitted

:05:10.:05:13.

the standards of its paediatric care hadn't been good enough. Our

:05:13.:05:15.

Health Correspondent Nina Warhurst has been following the first day of

:05:15.:05:24.

her inquest in Barrow and joins us now.

:05:24.:05:28.

She was less than one day old when she died because her breathing was

:05:28.:05:32.

lost by a form of waste that is not uncommon in the stomach of a young

:05:32.:05:39.

baby. Today questions about how and why this happened. Solicitors

:05:39.:05:43.

representing her mother asked why when the substance was seen in our

:05:43.:05:47.

waters when they broke, when there were problems with her heart, why

:05:47.:05:52.

Kelly had been left alone for 15 minutes and why it took 90 minutes

:05:52.:05:57.

for a Caesarean section to be carried out? Today, and number of

:05:57.:06:01.

nurses and midwives to found to their behaviour in court and said

:06:01.:06:05.

that no point was Kelly neglected. A hospital maintains that no

:06:05.:06:10.

mistakes were made before the best, but today they have apologised,

:06:10.:06:15.

what did they apologise for? That apology was far paediatric

:06:15.:06:21.

treatment after her birth. We heard from this lady, she was the

:06:21.:06:26.

paediatric registrar in charge of resuscitating Amelia. She was asked

:06:26.:06:30.

if it was appropriate to begin resuscitation before the substance

:06:30.:06:34.

was removed. There were questions raised about its X-rays should have

:06:34.:06:39.

been carried out sooner and if Amelia should have been transferred

:06:39.:06:43.

to intensive care in Manchester or Liverpool because her breathing was

:06:43.:06:47.

that bad. Tonight, the trust offered their unreserved apologies

:06:47.:06:50.

for standards of paediatric treatment that Emilia received.

:06:50.:06:54.

They say that their hearts go out to the family as they know how

:06:54.:07:01.

difficult this last year has been. Regular viewers will know that a

:07:01.:07:06.

hospital and the broader trust that runs Furness General Hospital is

:07:06.:07:12.

struggling to rebuild itself, how well this impact? There is an

:07:13.:07:16.

ongoing investigation into a number of deaths at Furness General

:07:16.:07:20.

Hospital connected to this maternity ward and no doubt be Care

:07:20.:07:23.

Quality Commission will keep an eye on what happened here at the end of

:07:23.:07:28.

the inquest. It is expected to conclude on Thursday and we expect

:07:28.:07:33.

to be re- number of recommendations from the coroner. Thank you.

:07:33.:07:36.

The police are trying to trace teenagers who brought terror to a

:07:36.:07:42.

fast food restaurant in Wigan. More than a hundred besieged the

:07:42.:07:44.

McDonald's outlet, abusing staff and stealing food. The father of

:07:44.:07:47.

one of those involved has told BBC Northwest Tonight he's disgusted by

:07:47.:07:51.

the actions of his daughter. But he says, she at least is truly sorry

:07:51.:07:56.

for what she did. Our Chief Reporter, Dave Guest, has the story.

:07:56.:08:00.

A baying mob terrorise staff at a McDonald's Restaurant. Some jump

:08:00.:08:03.

over the counter while others shout abuse. These images have been

:08:03.:08:13.

viewed by tens of thousands on the internet. It is a bit of a shock to

:08:13.:08:17.

the system, and I heard they had so much trouble there. What can I say?

:08:17.:08:20.

It is just ridiculous. These students at Wigan and Leigh College

:08:20.:08:23.

share the sense of outrage. They say the pictures show a minority

:08:23.:08:27.

who've brought shame on the majority of young people. We are

:08:27.:08:35.

nice people! It is not like that would use all there! Mike Donal

:08:35.:08:39.

said they are appalled by the deplorable behaviour seen here.

:08:39.:08:42.

They say staff were given full support to do with the shock of

:08:42.:08:46.

what happened. The council says it's determined to help track down

:08:46.:08:51.

those involved. We had been working Kisii with schools and head

:08:51.:08:53.

teachers and we have identified eight of the perpetrators and are

:08:53.:08:58.

working with the police to take action against them. The staff were

:08:58.:09:02.

terrified and we need to take positive action and arrest those

:09:02.:09:10.

involved and they can expect to spend some time in a police cell.

:09:10.:09:18.

This man's 15-year-old daughter was involved. I was disgusted with her.

:09:18.:09:23.

She was prescribed anti-depressants. We contacted the doctor that

:09:23.:09:25.

describe the mounties said this could have been a contributing

:09:25.:09:31.

factor to her behaviour. He says his daughter has written to

:09:31.:09:34.

restaurant staff to apologise. He hopes others involved in this will

:09:34.:09:41.

also be made to face up to their actions.

:09:41.:09:45.

More than 200 jobs are under threat, with plans to close a dairy on

:09:45.:09:48.

Merseyside. The supermarket milk supplier Dairy Crest wants to shut

:09:48.:09:52.

its plant in Aintree. The company says the market for liquid milk is

:09:52.:09:57.

"extremely challenging". Its contract to supply Tesco ends in

:09:57.:09:59.

July. Bolton NHS Foundation Trust has

:09:59.:10:02.

failed to comply with two major national targets, according to the

:10:02.:10:05.

independent health watchdog Monitor. In the last nine months the trust

:10:05.:10:08.

failed to ensure that 95% of Accident and Emergency casualties

:10:08.:10:14.

waited no more than four hours for treatment. It also missed the 18-

:10:14.:10:16.

week target for treating 90% of in- patients after they've been

:10:16.:10:21.

referred by their GP. A caretaker from Liverpool who

:10:21.:10:24.

systematically abused young boys over a 30-year period has been

:10:24.:10:28.

jailed for 13 and-a-half years at the City's Crown Court. The judge

:10:28.:10:30.

branded 69-year-old Austin Kelly from Staffordshire Close in Everton

:10:30.:10:36.

a "depraved and predatory" paedophile. The court heard that

:10:36.:10:39.

for three decades from the late 1960s Kelly had continuously and

:10:39.:10:41.

systematically groomed and abused young boys who were all aged under

:10:41.:10:49.

An appeal has been launched to raise �50,000 to buy the Furness

:10:49.:10:52.

Hoard of Viking treasure - so it can go on permanent display in

:10:52.:10:58.

Barrow. The silver coins and ingots were found near the town. It's

:10:58.:11:00.

changed thinking about 10th century history as it suggests Furness was

:11:00.:11:06.

ruled by the Vikings - not English kings - at the time.

:11:06.:11:09.

A court has been told that the collapse of a crane in Liverpool

:11:09.:11:12.

city centre almost three years ago was "an accident that was waiting

:11:12.:11:15.

to happen." Two construction companies deny breaching health and

:11:15.:11:18.

safety laws in connection with the accident which left the crane

:11:18.:11:22.

driver paralysed. Laura Yates reports.

:11:23.:11:27.

July 2009. A 200 tonne crane topples onto an apartment block in

:11:27.:11:33.

Liverpool City Centre. It was said by the prosecution today to be "an

:11:33.:11:37.

accident that was waiting to happen". The crane was liable to

:11:37.:11:40.

collapse at any time. The prosecution say that was because

:11:41.:11:44.

the foundations of the crane were not strong enough. That they had

:11:44.:11:49.

been incorrectly calculated. There was another mistake too in the

:11:49.:11:51.

crane's construction and that between them the two defendants -

:11:51.:11:54.

engineer and contractor - had made a complete mess of it and its

:11:55.:12:03.

foundations. In court today to hear that evidence was the man seriously

:12:03.:12:07.

injured in the accident. Ian Gillham, the crane's driver, was

:12:07.:12:16.

flung from its cab and paralysed from the waist down. The court was

:12:16.:12:20.

told today that he was in no way to blame for the accident. In a

:12:20.:12:23.

statement read out, he said he remembered nothing of that day -

:12:23.:12:27.

only going to bed the night before and then waking up in hospital four

:12:27.:12:29.

weeks later. Both companies, Bowmer and Kirkland Ltd and Bingham Davis

:12:29.:12:32.

Ltd deny breaching health and safety laws. The trial is expected

:12:32.:12:42.
:12:42.:12:43.

to last for three weeks. Still to come on North West Tonight.

:12:43.:12:46.

Heading for safety - how Wigan outgunned the Gunners for their

:12:46.:12:53.

latest big-name scalp. They had been fighting for this for ages.

:12:53.:12:59.

Reine brilliant, the best thing to ever happen. -- really brilliant.

:12:59.:13:05.

And still spinning yarns. The Cheshire couple whose lives revolve

:13:05.:13:12.

around a thousand-year-old tradition.

:13:12.:13:15.

Voters in Liverpool are starting to receive a booklet containing the

:13:15.:13:18.

election addresses of all 12 people wanting to become the city's first

:13:18.:13:22.

mayor. But two of them have complained that the council has

:13:22.:13:25.

stopped them from saying what they wanted to. So what did they want

:13:25.:13:28.

voters to know? Our political editor Arif Ansari has been finding

:13:28.:13:31.

out. Four of the candidates were on

:13:31.:13:35.

Radio Merseyside today - their views unfiltered. But two already

:13:35.:13:40.

feel censored by the very organisation they want to control.

:13:40.:13:43.

One of the quirks of a mayoral election is that councils deliver a

:13:43.:13:47.

booklet containing the views of each candidate. But here in

:13:47.:13:50.

Liverpool, the council hasn't liked what all the candidates wanted to

:13:50.:13:55.

say. The Liberal candidate Steve Radford was stopped from referring

:13:55.:13:57.

to the council's call centre Liverpool Direct as Liverpool

:13:57.:14:07.

Misdirect. People who lack candidates should be allowed to say

:14:07.:14:14.

what they think and the style they think. Particularly for the job but

:14:14.:14:19.

they may are a councillor, it is about how you express yourself and

:14:19.:14:23.

how will you go about your business. While socialist Tony Mulhearn was

:14:23.:14:25.

advised not to refer to the council's Labour leadership, the

:14:25.:14:28.

property developer Peel Holdings or to use the word "infest" to

:14:28.:14:34.

describe NHS privatisation. you're using particular phrases

:14:34.:14:41.

that you encapsulate what you mean, I say, defining the health service,

:14:41.:14:46.

and you were not allowed to use a particular phrase, I think that is

:14:47.:14:50.

undermining the impact of the messages were determined to convey

:14:50.:15:00.

to the electorate. The council says it's: "provided supportive advice

:15:00.:15:03.

to the candidates to make sure the wording they provide is in keeping

:15:03.:15:05.

with the rules laid down in government legislation". But as

:15:05.:15:08.

hailstones hit the town hall, one expert said he was concerned.

:15:08.:15:12.

very unusual and I find it quite worrying that the returning officer

:15:12.:15:16.

has the power to suggest or determine what the candidate is

:15:16.:15:19.

allowed to say in their election address. But it's certainly given

:15:19.:15:21.

the candidates' words much more prominence than they could have

:15:22.:15:26.

hoped for. And there's a full list of

:15:26.:15:29.

candidates standing for mayor on our website:

:15:29.:15:38.

www.bbc.co.uk/liverpool. Football now - and after a tricky

:15:38.:15:40.

spell in which the manager's position was called into question,

:15:40.:15:43.

Wigan moved closer to Premier league Safety last night with their

:15:43.:15:47.

latest big name scalp. The Latics followed up their first ever win

:15:47.:15:52.

over Manchester United with a 2-1 win at Arsenal. Now Manager Roberto

:15:52.:15:55.

Martinez is challenging his players to match that intensity in their

:15:55.:16:01.

final four matches, as Paresh Patel reports.

:16:01.:16:03.

Wigan's second goal ensured an historic victory over Arsenal last

:16:03.:16:08.

night. It takes the Latics five points clear of the relegation zone

:16:08.:16:17.

much to relief of fans. It was really brilliant. The best thing

:16:17.:16:21.

that has ever happened to the town. I was so proud of them last night,

:16:21.:16:27.

they had been fighting this for ages. They have turned it around.

:16:27.:16:30.

Earlier in the season Wigan lost eight matches in a row and were hot

:16:30.:16:33.

favourites for relegation. But on the back of last week's historic

:16:33.:16:36.

victory over Manchester united - The Latics came to the Emirates

:16:36.:16:39.

praying for a second miracle. Their previous nine visits to third

:16:39.:16:43.

placed Arsenal had all ended in defeat. So with a break on the wing

:16:43.:16:46.

- and that prayer - against all odds - Franco Di Santo nonchalantly

:16:46.:16:49.

fired Wigan ahead after just seven minutes. Ninety seconds later

:16:49.:16:53.

Lifgtens struck again. Well Jordi Gomez scrambled a second. Wigan

:16:53.:16:56.

played with belief and pounding hearts- But Arsenal used their

:16:56.:16:59.

heads - Tomas Vermallin making it 2-1. In the second-half the Gunners

:16:59.:17:04.

expected onslaught for an equaliser misfired. Astonishingly, Latics

:17:04.:17:10.

battled on to claim their fourth victory in five games. We need to

:17:10.:17:14.

have the same intensity and the same meaning that we have had today

:17:14.:17:17.

in the next games so that we are ready to approach the next fixtures

:17:17.:17:22.

with that urgency, knowing they are big finals. Wigan's last four

:17:22.:17:25.

matches include Blackburn away an Wolves at home both in the

:17:25.:17:27.

relegation zone. Victories for Latics would almost certainly ensue

:17:27.:17:37.
:17:37.:17:39.

survival in the top flight. A great result for we get him.

:17:39.:17:42.

-- for Wigan. Now this weekend, thousands of

:17:42.:17:44.

people will be jogging round the capital in the London Marathon.

:17:44.:17:48.

Plenty of exercise for most of us, but not for one North West Tonight

:17:48.:17:52.

viewer from Manchester. Raza Barkatali has spent the last week

:17:52.:17:55.

running more than 150 miles across the Sahara desert in temperatures

:17:55.:18:01.

nudging 53 degrees. He's survived, not totally unscathed, and I'm

:18:01.:18:07.

delighted to say that he joins us now.

:18:07.:18:12.

Why did you do this? It was something I always wanted to do. I

:18:12.:18:19.

had the opportunity to do it, it was a good opportunity to do the

:18:19.:18:25.

race but raise money for charity. How much did you raise? About

:18:25.:18:33.

�11,000. A terrific effort, it was a very famous, well known marathon,

:18:33.:18:37.

but unbelievably tough, I would imagine? Yes, now just a physical

:18:37.:18:43.

thing, it pays with your head as well. You have to carry on without

:18:43.:18:48.

food, your water is ration each day and it is very tough. Quite often

:18:48.:18:53.

you're on your own with nobody else around. Yes, the group splits up,

:18:53.:18:58.

so you have elite athletes that sprint off and the rest of us are

:18:58.:19:03.

left at the back, so you could be running for many hours and you Rome.

:19:03.:19:06.

I said that he did not come away totally unscathed, you possibly

:19:06.:19:12.

fractured her ankle? Yes, on the marathon staged, coming down to the

:19:12.:19:17.

last six miles, I twisted my ankle but the adrenalin was pumping.

:19:18.:19:25.

carried on running? About seven miles. The last day was I say, only

:19:25.:19:31.

10 miles, but by then, if you drop out, you do not get anything.

:19:31.:19:36.

is not exactly the lap of luxury were you staying in between the

:19:36.:19:39.

stages, we have got some pictures of the villagers were you state,

:19:39.:19:46.

basically sleeping in a tent under the stars. Yes, about eight or nine

:19:46.:19:51.

days, and you have to make your own food, carry Rome food, cooked

:19:51.:19:58.

around food. You have to carry everything you own way? Yes, what

:19:58.:20:03.

is in here now is my sleeping bag and basically cooking utensils.

:20:03.:20:11.

Earplugs? You could be next to somebody snoring. There were a few

:20:11.:20:19.

people that snored! What would you say was the hardest bit? The first

The UK's biggest street theatre event is going to be held in

The volunteers have been recruited to fill a number of important jobs

briefing. Naomi Cornwell joined them.

:21:55.:21:59.

From all parts of Liverpool and all walks of life - 200 people turned

performance will see giant marionettes roam Liverpool, telling

:22:22.:22:25.

their story to an audience of a quarter of a million people lining

:22:25.:22:31.

the city's streets. And these volunteers will play a big part.

:22:31.:22:36.

Some people will be pulling the giant a long, some people will be

clearing the path for the giants and some people will be clearing

the path with blue T-shirts. We have people that will be giving a

special welcome to the city. Between them, the giant marionettes

will cover a distance of 23 miles around Liverpool. Jim will be among

those on crowd control. It is fantastic. We just like doing it.

:23:04.:23:08.

Liverpool used to have a bad name, but since 2008, we have come to the

front. And some have even travelled from overseas to volunteer. Their

enthusiasm is contagious, with just three days until the Sea Odyssey

year-old tradition continues with life revolving around spinning

And now they've been given the ultimate job - to restore a wheel

of spinning wheels. This is a jump onto his spinning wheel which is

:24:54.:25:00.

very rare. He made spinning wheels that looked like bits of furniture.

:25:00.:25:06.

It is just magical for us. David says this is the Rolls-Royce of

spinning wheels and needs a lot of love to restore it. There are perks.

Once it is finished, and Val gets to road test it.

I guess the all rise of spinning wheels must be very exciting! --
