Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Roger Johnson ` and | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Annabel Tiffin. Our top story: Operators of a coach which crashed | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
killing three people have today lost their licence, the second time in | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
ten years. The company's been criticised by one of the victim s | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
mothers. Also tonight: Seven day service ` | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
the GPs offering us better care and saving millions of pounds in the | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
process. Lessons in togetherness ` the pupils | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
back under one roof after fire wrecked their school. I can equate | :00:31. | :00:41. | |
it to when the children come home for Christmas. They are all in the | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
right place. The unsung hero award goes to Maggie and Joe Forber. The | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
humble heroes on a night of stars. Winning ways for a Cheshire couple | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
at the glitzy Sports Personality of the Year Awards. | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
And magic moments ` the help and kindness of our latest Christmas | :00:59. | :00:59. | |
star. The operator of a coach which | :01:00. | :01:16. | |
crashed on the way back from a music festival last year killing three | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
people today lost its license. MerseyPride Travel was prosecuted | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
back in August after a court heard a tyre which was nearly 20`years`old | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
had blown out. But today it emerged the company had lost its license | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
before after safety concerns This was a journey home from a music | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
festival which ended in tragedy This was a journey home from a music | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
festival which ended in tragedy The driver Colin Daulby and passengers | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
Kerry Ogden and Michael Malloy didn't make it back to Merseyside | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
after a crashed caused by the blow out of a 19`year`old tyre. Today at | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
a public inquiry friends and family of those killed came to hear whether | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
MerseyPride Travel would be able to operate again. They also heard that | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
the company had a questionable record. In 2003 MerseyPride Travel | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
had its license revoked because of unsatisfactory maintenance of | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
vehicles. Over a five year period checks on the companies vehicles | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
lead to notices being issued in 71% of inspections for inadequate | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
maintenance. This is compared to the national average of 19%. Today | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
Merseypride Travel had its licenses was revoked. I would like to see | :02:19. | :02:45. | |
MerseyPride Travel and other unscrupulous companies taken off the | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
road. The company did not attend the public hearing. In August | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
Merseypride was fined ?4000. The tyre which casued the crash was old | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
but not illegal. To lose a child over a tie that was illegal, it is | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
excruciating. It is outrageous that that is still allowed to go on. | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
After three deaths, we still have laws in this country that allowed | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
tires of any age to be transporting hundreds of thousands of people | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
every year. The families of those who died say they will continue to | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
fight for a change in the law. The Granada weather presenter Fred | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
Talbot has been re`arrested over allegations of historical sex abuse | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
at Altrincham Grammar School for Boys during the 1970s and 80s. The | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
arrests relate to five allegations of indecent assault on former pupils | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
and one other allegation. No action has been taken in relation to the | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
alleged offences for which he was originally arrested but he remains | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
on police bail in relation to one indecency. | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
The Manchester Central MP Lucy Powell says she's appalled she been | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
named on a list of top ten laziest MPs. The list, published in The Sun | :03:52. | :04:00. | |
Newspaper, was based on the 39`year olds voting record while she was on | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
maternity leave. The paper has since issued an apology. The father of | :04:04. | :04:15. | |
Gary and Phil Neville appeared before Bolton Crown Court today | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
accused of sexually assaulting a 46`year`old woman in very early this | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
year. He denies the charges. A man has been arrested on suspicion | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
of murder after woman's body was found at a house in greater manager. | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
Glennis Brierley was found outside Littleborough yesterday. . A | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
45`year`old man, thought to be her son, is being held by police. Stuart | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
Flinders is there for us now ` Stuart what more can you tell us? | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
The call went into Greater Manchester Police on Saturday from a | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
public call box and somebody saying that there had been a killing at | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
this house behind me. A patrol were sent to investigate and the police | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
found the body of a 64 year macro woman. She had been stabbed. `` | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
64`year`old woman. They arrested a man on suspicion of murder and we | :05:12. | :05:20. | |
believe him to be her son. What do we know about Glennis Brierley? She | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
has been named by the police tonight. She was a well`known member | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
of this community. It is a little hamlet above little brother. One man | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
said he moved in here 30 years ago and has been firm friends with her | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
ever since. She was a psychotherapist and on her website | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
she describes her worst as being album many people with problems She | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
had hobbies in drawing, painting and embroidery. I have spoken to a pub | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
landlord and he was telling me she was a keen member of their weekly | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
quiz and that tomorrow night, when they begin their regular quiz, they | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
will start with two minutes silence in her memory. She will be very much | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
missed in this area. BAE Systems in Cumbria has been | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
awarded two new contracts totalling nearly ?80 million to build the next | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
generation of nuclear deterrent submarines. The Barrow`based firm | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
are to begin the ordering process to secure castings and forgings for the | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
submarines. The new vessels are due to enter service by 2028. | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
Anti`fracking campaigners used a giant wind turbine blade to blockade | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
the entrance to an exploratory drilling site in Salford earlier | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
today. Protestors at Barton Moss assembled the 17`metre blade in | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
symbolic action early this morning. Police later moved it. | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Liverpool actor Ricky Tomlinson helped deliver a 100,000 signature | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
petition to Downing Street today in an effort to quash the convictions | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
of 24 picketers, accused of intimidating workers 40 years ago. | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
The petition was handed over by the Royle Family actor and union | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
leaders, who were also accused of violent picketing during the 19 2 | :07:13. | :07:21. | |
strike. How many times have you tried to see | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
your GP to be told the soonest appointment is days or weeks away? | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Back in October the Prime Minister said he wanted doctors to keep their | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
surgeries open seven days a week. Now a group of practices in Greater | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
Manchester have started doing just that. They say it will improve care | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
and could save millions of pounds in the long run. Our Health | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
Correspondent Nina Warhurst has been at a busy surgery in Radcliffe. | :07:44. | :07:53. | |
Sunday lunchtime and the family are squeezing an appointment into their | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
hectic lifestyle. I have my business and family and can never get in in | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
the week. It is really convenient here. This practice a few miles | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
north of Manchester is one of six in the area staying open until 8pm in | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
the week and until 6pm at weekends. This is about improving access for | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
busy patients with busy lives but it is no secret that the NHS is under | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
enormous financial pressure. This is also about saving money. How? It is | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
thought across England more than ?200 million is spent every year on | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
people turning up to A who don't need to be there. In greater | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
Manchester, they think they can cut the number of those cases by 40 by | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
offering better access to GPs. I was playing golf and I felt a pain in my | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
leg. Howard had to come off the golf course after nine holes and his wife | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
made him an appointment. If Christine had told you the surgery | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
was opened today, what would you have done? We have come back from | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
holiday and I was concerned it could be a thrombosis. I would have gone | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
to A And you won't find many patients complaining about that | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
access to care but what about the people providing it? This can't be | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
much fun for you coming in on a Sunday. It is not the most ideal | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
situation but we have to give the patient is better access, better | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
continuity of care. We have to do it once in awhile. Not all GPs will be | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
quite so keen but if the savings make sense it might be a pill they | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
will all have to swallow. Dr Rob Barnett is a family doctor in | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
Liverpool and he speaks for the British Medical Association. He | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
joins us now live from our Merseyside studio. What do you think | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
of this idea? It will be interesting to see how it works. It sounds a | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
good idea but there are questions we still need to have answered. The | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
fact is that there is a member of `` a number of doctors and if we have | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
to have GPs working until 8pm in the evening and weekends, we will have | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
to take them from somewhere. We may have to find more doctors. This is | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
going to cost money. They think they will be `` there will be savings | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
elsewhere in the NHS. A lot of patients who go to A do need to be | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
there. While we may get some shift, I don't think it will release the | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
savings that are being talked about. We also need to take into what | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
account the fact that it is not just about GPs, it is about having nurses | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
who are working these hours and practice staff. It will be | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
interesting to see whether these pilots are properly evaluated to see | :10:46. | :10:55. | |
what the costs are. We hear about A services being tied up when | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
people should be going to their GP. It is not always convenient for | :10:58. | :11:13. | |
people to go to their GP. I am not averse to seeing it up or providing | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
that we probably evaluate the pilot systems. There is an issue whether | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
we have got the workforce to be able to do what is being suggested in | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
these pilots. In principle, you are saying GPs are happy to make it | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
work? It is not a case of them being work`shy? Not wanting to work | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
weekends. GPs have always tried to find ways of making things easier | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
for patients but we have to accept the fact that there is a finite | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
number of GPs and resources. If you take me away from seeing patients at | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
9pm `` 9am on a Sunday morning to see patterns on a Sunday evening, | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
patients that want to see me during the day on Monday will not be able | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
to. We have to understand that and see how it is going to work. Lots of | :12:03. | :12:12. | |
people have been in touch. We will read your comments out late in the | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
programme. Still to come on North West Tonight: The play is starring | :12:18. | :12:31. | |
in a weekend sports fest. Colleagues helping out in their hour of need. I | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
didn't think I am anything special but people have made me feel special | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
today. Now to a heart warming tale of | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
Christmas reunion. Ever since a huge fire devastated their school this | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
Summer, pupils at Leyland St Mary's Roman Catholic Technology College | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
have been separated from each other. But not anymore. Years eight and | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
nine have finally returned to the fire`damaged site so that all pupils | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
are again under one roof. Peter Marshall reports. | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
The halls and corridors are once more, just like any normal school. | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
Hectic, lively, at times noisy. But this is not just a normal | :13:06. | :13:20. | |
school. What you have achieved year eight and nine has been | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
extraordinary. Extraordinary. Both Pupils and teachers `have endured a | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
traumatic term. In September a devastating fire destroyed many of | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
its buildings. The damage was immense. Since then, the school | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
community has been split into separate schools. Until today. Now | :13:37. | :13:45. | |
everyone is back under one roof I can equate it to a mother when the | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
children come home for Christmas. They are all in the right place We | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
are back together again. Years eight and nine are the last to return to | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
Leyland from alternate premises in Preston. This is like our home and | :13:59. | :14:07. | |
it is a lot better to be back here. It is a family reunion in a way It | :14:08. | :14:17. | |
is nice that everyone is back here together and we are not having to go | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
on a bus which was a bit annoying. You will really tired a threat. | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
Temporary classrooms are being used. Parts of the school remain a | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
building site. It's hoped building work on new permanent buildings will | :14:29. | :14:30. | |
start next summer. Happy to be back at school! Well | :14:31. | :14:42. | |
Richard is here now with Monday s sport and very differing fortunes | :14:43. | :14:44. | |
for our Champions League representatives. | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
Yes, the draw for the last 16 was made in Switzerland earlier today | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
and makes great reading for Manchester United but has given | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
neighbours City the toughest of tasks. United will take on Greek | :14:55. | :14:56. | |
club Olympiakos while it's City`Barcelona in a tie that really | :14:57. | :15:05. | |
is the talk of Europe already. It shows just how crucial it is to | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
win your first round group in the Champions League That's right, group | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
winners get a second place finisher in the last 16. | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
United duly won their's, City would have had they scored one more goal | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
away to Bayern Munich last week a goal which we now know would have | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
meant they avoided the likes of Barcelona at this stage. The ties | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
will be played next February and March. | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
Sergio Aguero will miss out after a calf injury. The Northwest for top | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
teams racked up a total of 18 goals. For United, there were plenty of | :15:41. | :15:58. | |
positives. Danny Welbeck scored twice against Aston Villa. Perhaps | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
best of all was the return fare action of Darren Fletcher. He was | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
back in the United States `` shirt after bowel surgery. | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
Four goals from Everton might have flattened the blues a little bit but | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
it was another result that marks them out as a growing force in the | :16:23. | :16:24. | |
battle for the top four. Five goals for Liverpool at White | :16:25. | :16:39. | |
Hart Lane could have been seven or eight. A couple from Luis Suarez | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
made it 17 for the season for him. In the absence of Steven Gerrard | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
through injury, he captained the side. Jordan Henderson stepped up | :16:49. | :16:56. | |
for a man of the match display. It is our place to come. We knew we | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
wanted to be at our best to get a good results and we were fantastic | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
today. Manchester City's home record is enough to strike fear into any | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
defence. They conceded three against Arsenal but at the other end with | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
they banged in half a dozen with the sort of attacking football that | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
Manchester City getting used to It is 35 goals in eight Premier League | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
matches. It doesn't matter how many we concede, we are going to score | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
goals. Every team is fearful of that. I was stuck for words. First | :17:34. | :17:42. | |
time ever. Is there any team to fear any more? Liverpool on Boxing Day | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
will be the next side trying to crack the fortress that is the | :17:47. | :17:58. | |
Etihad Stadium. Uwe Rosler's first League game in | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
charge of Wigan Athletic ended in victory, but only after a topsy | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
turvy derby at home to Bolton. The Latics went two up thanks to Ben | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
Watson's penalty and then this spectacular effort from Manchester | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
United loanee Nick Powell. Wanderers fought back and equalised through a | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
spot kick of their own and this goal from Neil Danns. But Wigan were back | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
in for good shortly afterwards when Callum McManaman stroked home. | :18:19. | :18:20. | |
Oldham Athletic winger Cristian Montano has been sacked by the club | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
following his arrest in a spot`fixing investigation. The | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
22`year`old was one of six players arrested and bailed as part of an | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
inquiry by the National Crime Agency. The player had been | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
suspended without pay since the allegations were made last week | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
Something for Rugby League fans here on BBC One tonight. There's a | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
special edition of The Super League Show looking back at the season and | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
at the issues affecting our clubs over the close season. You'll hear | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
from Salford owner Marwan Koukash and Wigan Warriors coach Shaun Wane | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
among others. That's the Super League Show, tonight at 11.20 on BBC | :18:51. | :18:52. | |
One. Last night was a poignant one for | :18:53. | :19:02. | |
the region. The main TV event last night was the BBC's Sports | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
Personality of the Year awards. As well as that recognition for | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
Hillsborough campaigner Anne Williams, there was more north west | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
involvement with mention of Trophy Town Wigan and a special award for | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
Sir Alex Ferguson to mark the show's 60th anniversary. The honour was | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
accepted by her husband and children. She spent years calling | :19:19. | :19:32. | |
for the accidental death verdict for the Hillsborough victims to be | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
overturned. It was a big night for the | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
Northwest. Alex Ferguson got the Diamond award for his achievements. | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
One of the best awards went to a couple from Wilmslow. Earlier I went | :19:50. | :20:01. | |
to meet them. I asked them how they felt when they got the award. They | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
are incredible, the Unsung Hero award goes to Maggie and Joe Forber. | :20:07. | :20:21. | |
They were so lovely and had such a nice time. It was completely | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
overwhelming because we have spent the day with all the other winners | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
from all the other regions and there were so many wonderful people there | :20:32. | :20:41. | |
dealing with disabled children, people playing rugby with down | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
syndrome children. When the basketball came on the screen, my | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
heart and my stomach was churning. It was overwhelming. It must feel | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
like you are rewarded every day through the work that you do. We | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
deal with children and we have always dealt with children. We have | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
been schoolteachers most of our lives and it is an extension of this | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
school teaching. We help the kids to grow up in many ways, not just | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
basketball, in other schools as well. That is why we do it because | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
we get a lot of satisfaction from that. Have you had much reaction | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
from friends and relatives and people you have helped? When we got | :21:31. | :21:40. | |
back home, 100 e`mails, another 50 this afternoon. We have had text | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
messages from all over the world. People that have been with us for | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
many, many years and have appreciated everything that Joe has | :21:52. | :22:01. | |
done for them. Basketball and other things. Joe, you are not going to | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
Leicester on your laurels? I think while we have got our health, we | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
will carry on. We may just come away a little bit but we have no | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
intention of retiring completely. I am not sure what we would do if we | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
did retire. I don't fancy sitting on this couch all day long watching TV. | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
We will carry on. Congratulations to both of you. | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
This is the season of goodwill and every day in the run`up to Christmas | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
we've been highlighting viewers whose extraordinary spirit of | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
kindness and generosity sets them apart. | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
Today we meet a member of staff from a school in Prescot who's helped two | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
colleagues cope with the grief of losing their mum. Lindsey Prosser | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
reports. We wanted you to have this. I don't | :22:52. | :23:16. | |
think I am anything special but people have made me feel special | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
today. They nominated their colleagues are supporting them | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
during a very difficult time. And fortunately we lost our mum this | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
year and it was the worst time of our life. At points we thought we | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
couldn't get through. It was people like gene that helped us to see that | :23:36. | :23:46. | |
we can carry on. She is a true person and is just lovely. This | :23:47. | :23:54. | |
sister says she is the backbone of the school. Can I say I come to work | :23:55. | :24:06. | |
because I love all of you. You are always kind to me. Thanks to | :24:07. | :24:17. | |
everyone and you make me feel about 20! | :24:18. | :24:25. | |
Well done. Now for the weather. We have had two weeks of settled | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
weather with lots of cloud. The week ahead is going to be different. This | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
is what tomorrow looks like. This is what Wednesday could look like. It | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
is going to turn wet and very windy on Thursday `` Wednesday and we | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
could see severe gales at times Tonight, it is a quiet night. There | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
are occasional showers but you are in for a dry night. It is going to | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
be a chilly night with some frost. Temperatures will fall as low as low | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
as three Celsius in rural areas Tomorrow, it is going to be colder | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
and the temperatures will struggle after the overnight dip. We start of | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
dry and bright. Plenty of sunshine in the forecast through the | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
afternoon and light winds. Maybe some fog patches beginning to form | :25:21. | :25:22. | |
by late afternoon. The temperatures, for Celsius at best in | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
one or two spots. Very cold indeed but I is of eight Celsius. Into | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
Wednesday, here comes the rain. Some heavy rain coming in from the | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
Atlantic. Very windy all so late on Wednesday into Thursday. Thursday | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
looks mostly dry but Wednesday is not looking good. We could see winds | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
of up to 70 or 80 mph in one or two spots. The only plus about Wednesday | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
is the temperatures. We could see ten or 11 Celsius. As the cold front | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
appears on Thursday, it is dry but colder. You've heard the saying | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
coals to Newcastle. How about baubles to Bethlehem? It's | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
a similar thing. Tomorrow night we join the Liverpool firm who've been | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
asked to decorate and light the Christmas Tree in the town where the | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
Christmas story began. So from tomorrow we hit the road, all the | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
way to Palestine, with the boys taking the baubles to Bethlehem An | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
adventure that has it all. Scousers. Falafels. The Israeli Security | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
Service. And a dinner date with the Palestinian Prime Minister. | :26:31. | :26:37. | |
You can't ask for more. Earlier we asked for your | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
experiences of booking an appointment at the doctors ` after | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
the decision to open six in Manchester until 8pm seven`days a | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
week. Liz Baxter posted on our Facebook page. This has been coming. | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
A doctor will expect to shop and do other things at the weekend ` why | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
shouldn't we have access to the NHS at weekends. | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
SA on Twitter posted ` My husband is a GP. My kids don't get to see him | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
now. If the surgery is open until 8pm, he won't be home until after | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
9pm ` there goes whatever little family life we have! | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
While Bernadette Phillips e`mailed to say ` If GPs were available even | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
one day at the weekend it would make a huge difference. They could still | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
have the other day free ` and those who can't come Monday to Friday | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
would have an alternative. It's better than using locums or A | :27:27. | :27:35. | |
Thank you for your comments. We are back tomorrow and on Thursday we are | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
going behind the scenes on the programme. Goodbye. | :27:41. | :27:42. |
