transformation of the NHS in England. That | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight tonight with Annabel Tiffin | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
and Roger Johnson. Grateful for the support. The family of murdered | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Fusilier Lee Rigby join thousands to welcome his regiment home. Since | :00:16. | :00:29. | |
NATO first went in there are now 9000 young female school girls, that | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
shows we made a difference. We're live from the regiment's hometown of | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
Bury. Also in the programme: Rent boys, cocaine and the Co`op. Can | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Manchester's ethical bank bounce back? Disaster at 130 mph, we hear | :00:41. | :00:54. | |
from the powerboat racer who survived that high`speed crash. The | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
perfect match. A teenager from Macclesfield becomes the world's | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
first stems donor. And later in the programme, join me and my little | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
friend, can you believe his mother does not love them? `` him. They | :01:10. | :01:25. | |
stood shoulder to shoulder on the streets of Rochdale and body today | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
bringing the two times to a standstill. `` Bury. Among them the | :01:29. | :01:42. | |
family of Lee Rigby who was murdered in London last May. They said they | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
were touched and grateful for the support. Our reporter watched the | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
troops come home. She joins me live from the regimental museum there. An | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
emotional occasion? It was. Hundreds of people came to see the 1st | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
Battalion as it paraded through the streets today in their uniforms | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
Back in the 1800s this is what a Fusilier would look like. This | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
museum is regulated to the regiments, to local history and | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
family history, they have been associated with this town since the | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
1800s. They have served in all these places, including Afghanistan which | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
is where the regiment today returned home from. Despite the cold | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
weather, it was the warmest of welcomes. Hundreds lined the streets | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
of Rochdale this morning to achieve on the first Fusiliers battle group. | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
It means a lot. We have got to look after our country. Where would we | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
be? We have to support the likes of the Fusiliers, it is our regiment. | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
The only way we know how. Here where family and friends of Lee Rigby who | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
had come to remember him. We had the tribute right for him and raised | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
money for his son. We have come down here today to pay tribute to his | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
battalion, it was his Battalion The streets here also came to a | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
standstill, for a second time. These troops have returned from | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
Afghanistan we are, despite their effort is, large parts of the | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
country are still in the direct of the Taliaban. With so many | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
casualties critics have questioned what the troops have achieved. There | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
are now 29,000 young female schoolgirls in education which shows | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
straightaway we have made a difference. You can see the | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
programme that has happened since we have been ideal. We find the father | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
of one of those soldiers in the crowd. I was chalking up, we should | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
all be proud of these boys, they have put themselves in harms way for | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
us, or we can do is support them. There is a guarantee of a job | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
interview for everyone who leaves the arms forces. `` Armed Forces. I | :04:27. | :04:37. | |
am joined now by a colonel who is the regimental secretary. We talked | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
about emotions, it must have been very emotional for you to see so | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
many people turn out today? Fantastic to see the turnout in both | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
towns and the response from the lads who were on parade, it was fantastic | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
and made the hard work really pay off. It is a bit of a shame that two | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
of the battalions are merging together so one effectively is | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
disappearing. It is, but they still have a future as one regiment. We | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
still have a lot to do. This is one of the most important recruiting | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
areas or the regiment, we proved that today with the families and the | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
soldiers, fantastic. There is still a lot to come into this museum. Now | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
back to you. Next tonight. Grieving families have been outraged by a | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
spate of thefts and vandalism from the graves of children and babies at | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
Fleetwood Cemetery in Lancashire. The families affected say those | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
involved can have little idea of the hearty ER causing. `` party they are | :05:54. | :06:15. | |
causing. `` heartache. Emma visits regularly to remember her son. He | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
was a beautiful baby boy. It is the only place I can visit him. He died | :06:23. | :06:31. | |
at five weeks. It is a little garden for him. This is how his grave | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
looked before it was stripped beer by the vandals who have targeted his | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
and neighbouring plots. They have really gone to town on all of the | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
other little baby's believes. They have absolutely wrecked the place, | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
it is disgusting. The police have increased patrols and say they are | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
determined to catch the culprits. I have been in touch with the families | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
to give them support and we need witnesses to bring people to | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
justice. This family returned to their child's believe to prepare it | :07:12. | :07:19. | |
for Christmas. It is not fair to let these few idiots when and leave it | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
there, it is heartbreaking for us to see it with nothing on. Once again, | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
the families have street in the graves as best they can. The hope is | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
that somewhere, somebody who has got a conscience will report to is | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
responsible for all of this and turned them in. `` report who is | :07:45. | :07:53. | |
responsible. Burtons biscuits has been sold to a Canadian pension fund | :07:54. | :08:04. | |
for ?300 million. The own three sites. The plan `` pension plan | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
which also owns lottery company Camelot will take over later this | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
month. Emergency services were cold to the market on Church Street this | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
morning where there had been a structure collapsed. The family of | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
this man who was murdered in Sri Lanka two years ago are hopeful the | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
intervention of Prince Charles will speed up justice. Both he and David | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
Cameron raised the matter. It is now walked a trial date will be set | :08:44. | :08:53. | |
later this week. My brother went to a country on holiday just like | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
anyone else. We hope there will now be trial bit `` trial date set which | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
is something we have been looking for over two years. Let us see if | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
the Sri Lankan authorities are as good as their word. Tabloid | :09:09. | :09:16. | |
headlines involving rent boys, crystal meth and could gain all set | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
within multi`million pound losses in the finance world. Who would have | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
thought this would be over the head of the Co`op banking group? Today, | :09:29. | :09:36. | |
more news on his past in Rochdale. Our reporter has been looking at the | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
story. Let's start first with Mr Flowers and what has emerged about | :09:43. | :09:50. | |
his links? One`time Methodist minister and chair of the Co`op | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
banking group is seen here handing over cash or drugs. He has since | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
apologised. The number of homes in Rochdale raided by social services | :10:01. | :10:11. | |
over allegations of ritual abuse by the parents. Later returned. The | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
head of the authority at the time defended those actions in this way. | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
The guidelines came into force in 1987. I'd macro the year later he | :10:25. | :10:33. | |
weaves the council but not before a gross indecency event. He had just | :10:34. | :10:50. | |
four years banking experience. And so, today, the man who was | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
responsible for putting him in that job as chair of the Co`op bank has | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
resigned. Yes. Who would have thought we would have seen the | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
headlines we have in the last 4 hours. I asked if it was likely they | :11:07. | :11:20. | |
could bounce back. It is all about re`establishing trust in that brand. | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
People watch your feet, not your lips. It is about what you do, not | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
what you see. This is not fixed by an advertising campaign but by a | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
major change in the organisation. You will be root and branch review | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
of the whole organisation. What they need now is loyal customers and they | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
are out there. This man said the actions of one, even the chair man, | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
do not reflect the ethical nature of the Co`op bank who I am proud to | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
bank with. Next tonight. A judge has dual 30 members of the major | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
north`west drugs gang for a total of 35 years. Conspiracies to supply | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
cocaine and cannabis which would have been worth millions of pounds. | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
They weren't originally from Liverpool. Either is our Merseyside | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
reporter. Police video of the arrest of Peter Clark. The court heard he | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
was one of the leaders of cocaine and cannabis conspiracies worth | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
millions. His brother Stephen was also arrested. All that originally | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
from Liverpool. Police took pictures of the luxurious lifestyle they | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
enjoy it. Please recovered guns ammunition and knives. I have no | :12:44. | :12:52. | |
doubt there weapons enable the group to strike fear into other criminals. | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
The firearms and other weapons could have been used at any time to | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
frighten rival organised crime groups. Police took surveillance of | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
this man putting cocaine into a car. Often the drugs seized where of very | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
high purity. They also traded in cannabis and moved drugs between | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
here and Northern Ireland. Some of the group had legitimate jobs so | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
they had alibis for moving drugs. There are drugs around the | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
Merseyside and greater Manchester media as well as further afield | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
These men were jailed for a total of 95 years. The two brothers got 6 | :13:41. | :13:49. | |
and ten years each. The judge said the scale of this operation was | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
enormous. Peter Clark had a fine army record before he got involved | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
in drugs. That was a long fall from grace. The boss of greater | :14:00. | :14:09. | |
Manchester's metrolink has rejected calls to resign after disruption to | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
tram services this morning. There were freezing temperatures with ice | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
along the network. Ice breaking trams which were brought in | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
overnight could not prevent this line being suspended. Poverty is | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
causing as many problems for children now as it did 120 years | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
ago. 100 children in greater Manchester are currently living in | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
poverty. This X Factor singer helped the charity launch a new scheme to | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
support families in the worst affected areas. Finally you are not | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
alone and can let your voice be heard. Growing up, I had the lot of | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
friends, relatives, people who worked in my school, I saw a lot of | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
people suffering. Would come to school with a dozen things going on | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
back warm. We will have more in our late bulletin. Now moving on. At | :15:09. | :15:18. | |
speeds of more than 130 mph, the powerboat pilot had an | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
extraordinarily lucky is the earlier this month. It happened at the same | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
location in Coniston water where a similar crash killed Donald Campbell | :15:28. | :15:37. | |
45 years ago. Our reporter has the story. Coniston records week and | :15:38. | :15:47. | |
power boards pilot Keith Whittle had already broken the formula to world | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
record, but he was not satisfied. Conditions were perfect, I thought | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
it would be nice to push the record over 130 malls per hour to make it | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
harder for the next guy. But there was about to be very dramatic | :16:06. | :16:15. | |
conclusion. It was in at a perfect angle. Maybe approached the timing | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
gate at the other end and at that point away she goes. Oh, dear. There | :16:21. | :16:30. | |
we go. 1.5 flips. When it lifted on we knew it was serious and | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
expensive. You just go into survival mode, wait for the accident to | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
finish and then you have got to get out. In the way it was lucky because | :16:40. | :16:49. | |
it went in former `` stern first. Going in former could have been a | :16:50. | :16:57. | |
different story. 45 years ago Donald Campbell was killed instantly when | :16:58. | :17:07. | |
his boat crashed. The man who got the record just became a grandad and | :17:08. | :17:19. | |
he was pleased to still be alive. I am just happy we got the record | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
Astonishing, apparently he just had bruising. Good to hear. What is the | :17:26. | :17:33. | |
most generous thing you have done for a stranger? This 16`year`old may | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
just have saved someone's life as the youngest person ever to donate | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
bone marrow cells to someone completely unrelated. She did it | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
because someone in her family was affected. Despite not knowing be the | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
second, a she said she would do it all again. She is looking to answers | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
for the deep philosophical question, when does a cake, a cake? She has | :18:05. | :18:12. | |
become the youngest person ever to donate bone marrow cells to a | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
stranger after being matched on a donor register. She remembered a | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
family friend who had leukaemia and did not think twice about saying | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
yes. I did not think twice about going through with it. I wanted to | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
help someone so they did not have to go through all that pain. She said | :18:34. | :18:41. | |
the process was pain free. These days, in 90% of cases they simply | :18:42. | :18:50. | |
extract cells making it as easy as giving blood. She never told her | :18:51. | :18:58. | |
mother until she had said yes. How does it make you feel? Just so | :18:59. | :19:08. | |
proud, it is absolutely amazing Being the modest life`savers she is, | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
if she even forgot to tell her friends. She was just like, I am | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
doing it, I was like, what? Yes it she was in class and said she would | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
be donating sums themselves next week. She is looking forward for the | :19:26. | :19:35. | |
time when her recipients can get in touch. I would like to know if they | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
have been given more time, a life basically. Until then, act to the | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
equally heroic task of finishing A`levels. I spoke to someone who | :19:44. | :20:01. | |
runs a register for bone marrow donation. The usual delay until | :20:02. | :20:10. | |
someone comes up with the matches six years so this is unusual. The | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
old`fashioned bone marrow transplant which is from the bottom of your | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
back where we remove the bone marrow, that is only about 10% of | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
cases. For 90% of cases it is actually a needle in your arm from | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
which we take the stem cells out and then we put them in another arm It | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
takes about four hours but is really simple. And you are hoping Victoria | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
will encourage lots more people particularly young people, to come | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
forward now. Yes, it she is doing a great job already of telling them | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
how easy and simple it is and how painless it is. Thank you. No sport. | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
John W Hendry is apparently planning to give his own private jet to fly | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
Lewis Suarez back to Merseyside ahead of the Liverpool derby. He is | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
currently in Uruguay for his country's World Cup play`off against | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
Jordan. Not ideal conditions for cricket but Lancashire's preseason | :21:23. | :21:31. | |
training has started. Our reporter has been finding out about winter | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
life for county players. If you are lucky enough to play cricket for | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
England, this is how you spend your winters. But for county players | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
winters used to mean swapping your cricket helmet may be for our hard | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
hat and finding another job. For some, that meant shelf stacking | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
painting and decorating, or even journalism. The wages from county | :22:01. | :22:08. | |
cricket do not go far in meeting annual demands. In here it might be | :22:09. | :22:17. | |
freezing and training does not start for nine months but some is | :22:18. | :22:26. | |
underway. For this man it was very different 21 seasons ago. Literally | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
you would have four months off and they might come back overweight | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
There would be rushed to get in shape for the season. The standard | :22:36. | :22:43. | |
has gone up, professionalism in the game has driven standards up and | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
that is great for the sport in general. Can you see them winning a | :22:47. | :22:54. | |
fourth Ashes series? I think so they have so much strength. Where'd | :22:55. | :23:02. | |
you thinking this morning you wish you were in Australia? Yes, we | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
really want to be playing on grass, there is no better incentive than | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
the Ashes. They can spend the winter hoping to head to best really rather | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
than having to head down to the job centre. Rarely has such a small | :23:20. | :23:30. | |
animal caused such a fuss in our office. The cutest antelope you have | :23:31. | :23:38. | |
ever seen. Our producer is a sucker for one of these. His mother | :23:39. | :23:46. | |
rejected him at birth, he has been bottle`fed at Chester 's zoo. And | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
look to be sent to meet him. Time for tea and the zookeeper is being | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
mother. Currently he is on for feeds per day. Here is his big sister to | :24:00. | :24:11. | |
have a look. He is small, cute, and if that was not enough to have you | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
all siding, his mum does not love him! She is not a very good mum | :24:17. | :24:26. | |
When he was born she was not paying much attention to him. She was not | :24:27. | :24:35. | |
much better with his sister before. In the wild you would think they | :24:36. | :24:43. | |
would be vulnerable to Lyons. Yes, lines and pythons. They can hide in | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
the bush or they will run away, they run in a zigzag pattern. You might | :24:50. | :24:57. | |
think he would be great as a small pet but that is not allowed. | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
Definitely not. You would not have any zoo animal as a pet. We are here | :25:05. | :25:11. | |
for breeding and conservation. Eventually he will go on a normal | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
diet of shoots and fruits. If his sister Goodspeed she would ask for a | :25:19. | :25:32. | |
kiss! They are so gorgeous! `` if his sister could speak. We have had | :25:33. | :25:41. | |
about 55,000 hits on our Facebook page since boasting pictures | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
earlier. Now onto the weather. It is getting colder. He was beautiful, I | :25:48. | :25:56. | |
want to take him home! It was beautifully sunny today but how cold | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
was it? Once you've stepped out the front door and factor in the | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
wind`chill, it felt like zero and even below freezing in Rochdale | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
Freezing all afternoon. Tomorrow will be bitterly cold again. Rain or | :26:17. | :26:25. | |
