there are major concerns about the spread of disease. That is all from

:00:00.:00:00.

us. Good evening. Welcome to North West

:00:00.:00:11.

Tonight with Annabel Tiffin and Roger Johnson. Our top story:

:00:12.:00:14.

Deported without his mum. The seven`year`old threatened with being

:00:15.:00:17.

kicked out of the country. His MP has called it "bizarre". Also

:00:18.:00:21.

tonight: Terror in the sky. A court hears how two Lancashire men

:00:22.:00:25.

threatened to blow up an airliner with hundreds of passengers on

:00:26.:00:28.

board. Memories of the Great War. The

:00:29.:00:31.

horrors of the front line written by injured soldiers in Manchester 00

:00:32.:00:41.

years ago. They told him they would probably have to remove his arm He

:00:42.:00:45.

begged them not to because he had just got a goal back in England and

:00:46.:00:48.

he wanted to put his arm around her. Tips from the top Down Under.

:00:49.:00:51.

Australia's rugby league squad share their skills with eager

:00:52.:00:57.

schoolchildren. And step inside Cumbria 's newest

:00:58.:00:59.

cinema. A seven`year`old boy from Merseyside

:01:00.:01:14.

has been ordered out of the country, leaving his mother behind. The Home

:01:15.:01:19.

Office have told him if he doesn't go voluntarily, he may be forced to

:01:20.:01:22.

leave. Jamie Leung from Southport is a Canadian citizen but his mother

:01:23.:01:26.

Sara has dual Canadian and British nationality. Their MP has described

:01:27.:01:30.

the situation as "absolutely bizarre". In a moment, we'll be

:01:31.:01:35.

talking to an immigration law expert. First, this from our

:01:36.:01:39.

Merseyside reporter, Andy Gill. Jamie Leung and his mum Sara at

:01:40.:01:43.

their home in Southport this afternoon. Both were born in Canada.

:01:44.:01:48.

But as Sara's dad is British, she has a British passport. They came to

:01:49.:01:53.

the UK last year. Now Jamie's had a Home Office letter saying he must

:01:54.:01:57.

leave. It's addressed to Master Leung and it says if he doesn't make

:01:58.:02:00.

arrangements to leave, his departure may be enforced. Obviously, I'm

:02:01.:02:14.

really upset. To have such a horrible thing is every mother s

:02:15.:02:18.

nightmare, to have your child taken away by the Government, of all

:02:19.:02:23.

things. It's upsetting and scary. Sara has a new partner, Heiko, with

:02:24.:02:26.

whom she has two more children. Heiko is German. One of their

:02:27.:02:30.

children was born in Germany. The other was born here. The different

:02:31.:02:39.

nationalities make this a complicated case, but the family 's

:02:40.:02:43.

fundamental point is that Jamie is basic human right, that he should be

:02:44.:02:48.

with his mother, is more important than any legal or technical reasons

:02:49.:02:55.

why he should leave the country I think it would be a national scandal

:02:56.:03:01.

if a British mamma with her own child cannot have her child in this

:03:02.:03:05.

country when she is a resident in this country. When the family

:03:06.:03:12.

arrived in the UK, they were told they'd have to apply for Jamie to

:03:13.:03:16.

stay. As neither parent is working, they chose a method which costs less

:03:17.:03:17.

than others. We're now joined by immigration

:03:18.:03:36.

lawyer Shazia Riaz. We heard the MP calling this bizarre. Have you ever

:03:37.:03:40.

heard of a case where a child has been deported without a parent? They

:03:41.:03:49.

do get letters of refusals. They are quite bog`standard. However, at the

:03:50.:03:53.

end of them, they say, you have no right to stay in the UK, which is

:03:54.:03:58.

ridiculous the children, and they should look at whether the child can

:03:59.:04:03.

leave or not. It is common practice for these letters to go out,

:04:04.:04:09.

however, it is alarming for parents. What are the chances this could go

:04:10.:04:12.

through and he could have to leave the country without her? The chances

:04:13.:04:19.

are the child would deported alone. However, the decision should be made

:04:20.:04:29.

properly. The UK have become clinical than making decisions and

:04:30.:04:33.

we are seeing many court cases because of wrong decisions they have

:04:34.:04:39.

made, like a child leaving the UK. It does seem to lack common sense

:04:40.:04:43.

that standard letters can be sent out to a seven`year`old boy. It s

:04:44.:04:49.

quite common. Letters like these are sent out, but again, they should be

:04:50.:04:56.

looking at the bigger picture, he's got a family here. It's quite

:04:57.:05:03.

surprising in an environment where sports people and artists are

:05:04.:05:08.

allowed to stay, even with distant relatives. You could've had a

:05:09.:05:11.

grandparent born in the UK and you can apply for a Visa under that

:05:12.:05:16.

When a child and his mother has been told to leave the country is

:05:17.:05:22.

ridiculous. What can she do now My advice would be to take this

:05:23.:05:28.

further, having reviewed. To show her papers to somebody. However not

:05:29.:05:36.

to worry. They went to put a child on its own or it will go down that

:05:37.:05:40.

route at war, but the mid to get good advice on how to deal with

:05:41.:05:45.

that. The MP is involved in that, which is good.

:05:46.:05:57.

The bodies of a man and a woman have been discovered at a house in

:05:58.:06:06.

Manchester. It's not yet known how they died and police are

:06:07.:06:07.

investigating. A Chinese businessman "massacred" a

:06:08.:06:27.

Manchester Metropolitan University lecturer and his family in revenge

:06:28.:06:30.

for a lengthy legal battle which left him "faced with ruin", a court

:06:31.:06:36.

has heard. Jifeng Ding, his wife and daughters were stabbed to death at

:06:37.:06:40.

their home in Wootton in Northampton in April 2011. 54`year`old Anxiang

:06:41.:06:54.

Du denies the charges. Two men from Nelson in Lancashire

:06:55.:06:57.

threatened to blow up a Boeing 77 at 30,000 feet, a court has been

:06:58.:07:00.

told. The Pakistan Airlines flight was heading for Manchester Airport

:07:01.:07:04.

in May this year. The plane was forced to make an emergency landing

:07:05.:07:07.

at Stansted Airport and fighter jets were scrambled. Both men deny being

:07:08.:07:13.

terrorists. Pakistani airlines, after making an

:07:14.:07:21.

emergency landing at Stansted airport. The flight was bound for

:07:22.:07:29.

Manchester but it was diverted and escorted to Stansted by RAF Typhoon

:07:30.:07:33.

fighters. Among the passengers were these men. They were flying back to

:07:34.:07:40.

England after attending Mohammed Morsi macro mother's funeral. Some

:07:41.:07:45.

passengers said the men were behaving in a rude and aggressive

:07:46.:07:49.

manner before the flight took off. The prosecution said Muhammed became

:07:50.:07:58.

angry. The QC leading the prosecution told the jury:

:07:59.:08:16.

Mohammed Morsi and the man deny the charge of endangering the safety of

:08:17.:08:25.

an aircraft. The trial continues. A Blackpool surgeon who killed four

:08:26.:08:28.

patients and maimed six others during botched operations has

:08:29.:08:31.

withdrawn his application to re`join the Medical Registrar. Steven Walker

:08:32.:08:33.

was found guilty of serious professional misconduct and struck

:08:34.:08:36.

off in 1995 after admitting the manslaughter of 71`year`old Dorothy

:08:37.:08:49.

McPhee. Cunard is to bring all three of its

:08:50.:08:53.

Queen cruise liners to Liverpool to mark the 175th anniversary of its

:08:54.:08:55.

transatlantic sailings from the port. Queen Mary II will begin the

:08:56.:08:59.

celebrations in May 2015, when she berths overnight at the cruise liner

:09:00.:09:02.

terminal. The following day, she'll be joined by Queens Elizabeth and

:09:03.:09:04.

Victoria. A court's heard that a teenager who

:09:05.:09:08.

killed a man in Bolton town centre had assaulted two other strangers in

:09:09.:09:11.

similar attacks nearby in the previous week. Simon Mitchell died

:09:12.:09:15.

after being punched by Eden Lomax while on a night out. The

:09:16.:09:19.

17`year`old from Deane has pleaded guilty to manslaughter but denies

:09:20.:09:23.

murder. Naomi Cornwell's been following the case at Manchester

:09:24.:09:28.

Crown Court. So Naomi, how did the two come to meet each other that

:09:29.:09:39.

night? Simon was 33 years old and from the hunger Hill area. He had

:09:40.:09:46.

been out drinking with a friend His friend had gone home and the court

:09:47.:09:51.

heard Mr Mitchell was drunk when at 9pm, you was approached by a group

:09:52.:09:59.

of teenagers. Among those teenagers was Eden Lomax. The two of them had

:10:00.:10:05.

never met. A video interview with one Lomax's friends was paid `` play

:10:06.:10:10.

to the code in which the friend said, how has your night been? When

:10:11.:10:16.

Mr Mitchell told them to his friends had committed suicide, Eden became

:10:17.:10:22.

upset. The court was told that Eden was told if you don't go away, I

:10:23.:10:29.

will burn you. What's a bomb? The court heard that as he tried to

:10:30.:10:36.

shake hands with Eden, Lomax punched him. The prosecution alleges that

:10:37.:10:42.

Simon Mitchell, Eden said to him: That's a bomb. Mr Mitchell was

:10:43.:10:47.

pronounced dead in hospital an hour later. Eden Lomax has been pleaded

:10:48.:10:52.

guilty to manslaughter but no mice murder. `` but denies murder. The

:10:53.:11:03.

prosecution barrister told the jury that the degree of violence was no

:11:04.:11:11.

means unique as on two previous occasions, Eden Lomax had punched

:11:12.:11:15.

men in the street. For both of those, he has been convicted of

:11:16.:11:21.

actual bodily harm and his trial for Mr Mitchell's murder will continue

:11:22.:11:25.

tomorrow. Still to come on North West Tonight:

:11:26.:11:28.

We'll be finding out about this book: First`hand accounts of the

:11:29.:11:31.

horrors of the front line written by First World War soldiers,

:11:32.:11:34.

convalescing in a Manchester hospital.

:11:35.:11:45.

And Cumbria's newest cinema. Bringing the excitement of the big

:11:46.:11:48.

screen to one of the region's smallest communities.

:11:49.:12:00.

It's Children in Need, of course, on Friday, and throughout the week

:12:01.:12:05.

we'll be looking at some of the projects funded through your

:12:06.:12:08.

donations. Tonight, we're looking at a charity in Liverpool which does

:12:09.:12:11.

invaluable work with children whose lives are changed forever by the

:12:12.:12:15.

death of a loved one ` the Oakleaf Bereavement Service.

:12:16.:12:29.

He used to get 's comics, we called him grandad comic. I miss him

:12:30.:12:42.

because he never took us to the pictures any more. My dad died of

:12:43.:12:47.

cancer in April. We used to play guitar together and stuff like that

:12:48.:12:52.

and did lots of musical stuff together. Both our grandfathers died

:12:53.:12:57.

within a week of each other. It was very difficult because they were so

:12:58.:13:04.

involved in our lives. It's when you look back at family photos or would

:13:05.:13:07.

you plan to go out as a family and he's not there. He used to take me

:13:08.:13:14.

to the park and he used to take me to the zoo and we used to have lots

:13:15.:13:24.

of fun and play games. Even when you are feeling a little bit sad, your

:13:25.:13:33.

feeling angry, you can get in that belt and bring something fun out to

:13:34.:13:40.

do. They are able to reintroduce that person who they are missing,

:13:41.:13:45.

whether mum or dad or Nan grandad or sister or brother, they are able to

:13:46.:13:48.

reintroduce them into their lives again. It makes such a difference.

:13:49.:14:15.

He had blue eyes. Don't... It's just helped us realise it's OK to feel

:14:16.:14:20.

sad, it's OK to be angry and upset. It's made us realise that everyone

:14:21.:14:24.

goes through grief in a different way. It makes you feel human again.

:14:25.:14:33.

It gives, like, ways of dealing with your anger when you are upset. They

:14:34.:14:40.

have absolutely worked magic with both of them. I can't thank them

:14:41.:14:54.

enough, not in this lifetime. A fabulous service, and it's nice to

:14:55.:15:00.

see where the money goes. It is Joe and Brennan in the report there is

:15:01.:15:06.

on BBC radio Merseyside's but the show to morrow morning, talking

:15:07.:15:11.

about how valuable the money is No make up for work, pyjamas to work,

:15:12.:15:25.

ways to raise money. We will be at the arts Centre on Friday night You

:15:26.:15:31.

will have no make up on! Next tonight, the moving stories of

:15:32.:15:35.

First World War soldiers in their own words. They were written when

:15:36.:15:40.

they were recovering from battle wounds at a hospital in Manchester

:15:41.:15:44.

and have never been published. They were collected by a soldier from

:15:45.:15:47.

Derbyshire and, fortunately for us, his family has held onto them for

:15:48.:15:50.

almost a century. Maybe you're related to one of the writers.

:15:51.:16:04.

Stuart Flinders reports. These are life and death stories. Then the

:16:05.:16:14.

Germans got on top bus and car toss up but our chaps had two machine

:16:15.:16:21.

guns opened fired on them. Those words were written right here in

:16:22.:16:27.

central Manchester. This used to be a hospital. Soldiers returning from

:16:28.:16:32.

the front would be treated with their injuries. Amongst them,

:16:33.:16:35.

Corporal Fred header from Derbyshire. It was November, 19 4,

:16:36.:16:45.

very cold weather. He was hit by a dumb dumb bullet in his right arm.

:16:46.:16:49.

They told him that they would probably have to remove his arm He

:16:50.:16:54.

begged them not to because he just got a lady back in England and

:16:55.:17:06.

wanted to put his arm around her. . Fred was brought to the hospital in

:17:07.:17:10.

Manchester, the girl, Ada, a regular visitor. I had been at the front for

:17:11.:17:26.

four months and was unlucky enough to get wounded in the face. I

:17:27.:17:36.

stopped for 12 hours. Private GP delicate. When I was a child, that

:17:37.:17:44.

book was at the back of a cupboard. It's only now, with age, the wall

:17:45.:17:49.

being 100 years ago, that things become more interesting. Corporal

:17:50.:17:56.

Heather married Ada and lived on until the 1970s. What happened next

:17:57.:17:59.

for the others is, for the moment, a mystery. Brilliant. And we've got

:18:00.:18:08.

the book here. It is nearly 100 years old, so it is fragile. I don't

:18:09.:18:15.

want any of the page falling out, but as well as the beautiful

:18:16.:18:18.

stories, there's some lovely pictures. I was reading one in the

:18:19.:18:27.

office. It said: Our general told us to have as much rest as we could. We

:18:28.:18:32.

were going into the trenches in the night. We had very young chaps with

:18:33.:18:37.

us were very frightened. A lot of them have written quite

:18:38.:18:43.

matter`of`factly as well. For example: We got a few yards near the

:18:44.:18:49.

German guns but ran into barbed wire. I had my 's shot under me

:18:50.:18:55.

Some of the stories are from as far back as Africa. If you recognise any

:18:56.:19:02.

of the names, we would love to hear from you. Perhaps, you are related.

:19:03.:19:06.

The Australian rugby league team is no stranger to records. As the best

:19:07.:19:11.

team around for the last four decades, they're currently based in

:19:12.:19:14.

Manchester, trying to win the World Cup. But today, they were spreading

:19:15.:19:17.

the message of rugby league to school children in the city as

:19:18.:19:20.

another record was attempted. Stuart Pollitt reports.

:19:21.:19:32.

As the biggest and best team in the world, the Aussies are used to

:19:33.:19:37.

breaking records. But even they occasionally misplace their passes.

:19:38.:19:42.

These children couldn't afford any mistakes as they tried to break the

:19:43.:19:46.

record for consecutive passes with a rugby ball of whatever size!

:19:47.:19:50.

Unfortunately, the record attempt fell short, but the sport's impact

:19:51.:20:01.

in recent week hasn't. Really big impact. I watch rugby all the time.

:20:02.:20:06.

I watched a couple of games in four I would like to give it a go, so

:20:07.:20:13.

here I am. These Australian players are some of the biggest sports stars

:20:14.:20:18.

down under. Part of their mission here is not just to win, but also to

:20:19.:20:23.

inspire the next generation of English players. It's our

:20:24.:20:33.

responsibility to spread the gospel of rugby league in the world. We are

:20:34.:20:39.

probably making a harder for ourselves in the long run! The

:20:40.:20:42.

Australian's stay hasn't all been friendly handshakes. One of their

:20:43.:20:45.

players was robbed, another involved in a fight outside a bar. It's

:20:46.:20:50.

unfortunate, the incidents you have spoken about, but where ever you go,

:20:51.:20:54.

those thoughts sorts of things will happen. But the people of Manchester

:20:55.:21:11.

have welcomed us with open arms Now to the opening of the region's

:21:12.:21:14.

newest cinema. Push all thoughts of massive multiplexes out of your mind

:21:15.:21:18.

because this has just one screen. Just 35 seats. Jayne McCubbin is

:21:19.:21:25.

there for us in the Cumbrian hamlet of Oxen Park. I wish I had the right

:21:26.:21:44.

outfit on now! This is my idea of heaven. You buy a pint at the lovely

:21:45.:21:49.

country pub and you step inside the courthouse in our club. You pay your

:21:50.:21:57.

money on the door, ?2, yes ?2! And in we go, along with one of the

:21:58.:22:02.

newcomers. Take a look around. They are having a sound check. This is

:22:03.:22:08.

the idea of Carol here, who bought the house next door, and this place

:22:09.:22:13.

came with it. And you had a chat in the palm. `` in the pub. One was a

:22:14.:22:22.

recycling paper. The other idea Asilomar. `` a cinema. From ten

:22:23.:22:32.

years, Cowell has triggered the Cinema club on the road. This is

:22:33.:22:37.

tonight 's presentation. I'm not a movie mogul! I'm the

:22:38.:22:59.

secretary. No movie moguls round here, very much a team effort. It's

:23:00.:23:05.

been a 10`year epic journey leading to tonight. They are almost ready.

:23:06.:23:14.

We have got to screw down the seeds. And then all systems go? The chairs

:23:15.:23:28.

are from Charles. A real community effort has helped to turn an old

:23:29.:23:33.

stable block into a cinema. You have arrived with tonight 's raffle

:23:34.:23:41.

prize. Let's see. It's ten years of raffle prizes, tickets and

:23:42.:23:47.

donations. Yes, and a huge amount of funding from various organisations.

:23:48.:23:54.

It has all the basics covered, is green, seeds, some more comfy than

:23:55.:24:01.

others. This is not a multiplex Here, people are not really

:24:02.:24:05.

customers. People want to come together for an evening to enjoy a

:24:06.:24:10.

good movie. A different atmosphere entirely from a city centre

:24:11.:24:16.

multiplex. I can tell which one you would prefer! So, tonight is the

:24:17.:24:25.

opening night, but a test run for a big black`tie do next week. How do

:24:26.:24:29.

you come up with your movie selections? Is the best part of the

:24:30.:24:39.

committee work. You're one of the viewing public this evening. Today

:24:40.:24:47.

make good choices? Yes. Most of them. Tonight 's choice? And more.

:24:48.:25:00.

John, next week, what will be the feature presentation? It's a film

:25:01.:25:05.

we've made ourselves: A historical documentary. Hopefully, all the

:25:06.:25:11.

stars will be coming. Good luck with it. Do popping if you are in the

:25:12.:25:19.

area. We haven't had I invite to the premiere! It's in the post.

:25:20.:25:35.

If I start the weather forecast with a frosty weather ball, I think you

:25:36.:25:44.

know what that means. We have had decent conditions today. Lots of

:25:45.:25:49.

clear skies. Because of that, we will pay fed tonight. A cold night.

:25:50.:25:54.

You can see that we keep the temperature is, in some places, in

:25:55.:26:00.

single figures because of the cold air which continues to circulate

:26:01.:26:08.

from the Arctic. For tonight, plenty of clear skies hanging on from this

:26:09.:26:12.

afternoon. It will be breezy as well. It will be a chilly night I

:26:13.:26:19.

think temperatures will fall below freezing in parts by tomorrow

:26:20.:26:26.

morning. Tomorrow, we are expecting rain later on in the day and strong

:26:27.:26:30.

winds, but tomorrow morning, you will need to do this. You will

:26:31.:26:35.

probably need to scrape your windscreen is because we are

:26:36.:26:39.

expecting Frost first thing tomorrow morning. A cold, crisp, dry start,

:26:40.:26:46.

and then begins to change. Cloud begins to roll in the day and strong

:26:47.:26:48.
