BBC Good evening. Welcome to North West

:00:00.:00:00.

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

:00:00.:00:08.

Ten years on from tragedy on the tracks at Tebay ` questions remain

:00:09.:00:18.

over rail safety. I saw this black object come pass me. Then it ran

:00:19.:00:24.

over them. The only survivor tells us his story. Also tonight.

:00:25.:00:27.

Arrowepark Hospital admits using unsterilised surgical equipment `

:00:28.:00:33.

including in a caesarean section. Labour celebrate ` but it's mixed

:00:34.:00:36.

fortunes for the other parties in the Wythenshawe by`election.

:00:37.:00:41.

Just Google it ` school children in Liverpool learn the tricks of the

:00:42.:00:52.

trade from the computer experts And we are getting up in a damp Lake

:00:53.:00:56.

District, searching for the perfect spot to propose.

:00:57.:01:05.

Tomorrow is a poignant anniversary for the families of four railway

:01:06.:01:10.

workers who were killed at Tebay in Cumbria. They were crushed by a

:01:11.:01:15.

runaway trolley loaded with rails. That was ten years ago. An official

:01:16.:01:19.

report highlighted shortcomings which led to the disaster. Ten years

:01:20.:01:24.

on one man who narrowly escaped with his life says safety still isn't

:01:25.:01:28.

good enough. Our Chief Reporter Dave Guest has been to meet him.

:01:29.:01:32.

A simple windswept memorial records the names of four men who died doing

:01:33.:01:38.

their job. They were crushed to death by a runaway trolley loaded

:01:39.:01:43.

with 16 tonnes of rails. It careered out of control along the main

:01:44.:01:46.

railway line at Tebay in Cumbria, one morning in February 2004. Those

:01:47.:01:52.

who saw what happened will never forget it. We were just stood

:01:53.:01:57.

between both rails, and then we just happened to stand out, waiting for

:01:58.:02:04.

the lads to knock their keys out. Then I just saw this black object

:02:05.:02:08.

come whizzing past us and then run right over the lads. You had no

:02:09.:02:20.

warning it was coming? No. No. If you'd not stepped out of that

:02:21.:02:24.

moment, then you would have been killed too? Yes. There would have

:02:25.:02:29.

been more fatalities. Gary Tindall was one of the fatalities, so too

:02:30.:02:32.

Colin Buckley, Chris Waters and Darren Burgess. An investigation

:02:33.:02:35.

into the accident highlighted various shortcomings that led to

:02:36.:02:38.

tragedy. Tom Angus and others have campaigned since then to improve

:02:39.:02:41.

safety. They acknowledge some improvements have been made, but Tom

:02:42.:02:47.

says runaways still happen. We have had over 70 runaways in different

:02:48.:02:51.

parts of the country. 70 runnaways since 2004? As I know about, yes.

:02:52.:02:58.

Network Rail said today that a secondary protection system, which

:02:59.:03:01.

basically sounds an alarm to warm crews of a runaway approaching, will

:03:02.:03:05.

be in place across the country by June. But it will have taken more

:03:06.:03:09.

than ten years to get that secondary warning device in place. What do you

:03:10.:03:12.

think about that? It is disappointing. I'm hoping this time

:03:13.:03:16.

they actually do what they said they would do. Tomorrow, family, friends

:03:17.:03:21.

and colleagues of those who died will gather here to remember the

:03:22.:03:26.

terrible events of ten years ago. And also perhaps to hope that

:03:27.:03:36.

lessons really have been learnt A little earlier, I spoke to Mick

:03:37.:03:41.

Cash from the RMT Union. I asked him whether there had been any safety

:03:42.:03:45.

improvements in the wake of what happened at Tebay?

:03:46.:03:54.

We have seen some improvements but it is a long time coming. It is a

:03:55.:03:58.

sad indictment on the way beget doing on the road. We are starting

:03:59.:04:03.

to see progress, but it has been slow and you. What would you like to

:04:04.:04:09.

see done now as a matter of urgency? What might be about to happen? As

:04:10.:04:13.

recent as this week we have got approval for Network Rail to extend

:04:14.:04:16.

across the whole of the network This secondary warning system, which

:04:17.:04:19.

the families of those affected by Tebay and RMT branch in Lancaster,

:04:20.:04:23.

have been campaigning for a number of years now. That in itself will be

:04:24.:04:28.

a significant help for ensuring track workers' safety, ensuring that

:04:29.:04:31.

if there is runaways in the future, that workers get some sort of added

:04:32.:04:41.

protection. Two men were jailed in the wake of what happened in Tebay,

:04:42.:04:44.

because there was a criminal manslaughter case brought.

:04:45.:04:48.

Notwithstanding that, do you think that secondary system you have

:04:49.:04:51.

mentioned could have prevented this, would have prevented this? If it is

:04:52.:04:58.

in place, we are confident it would have prevented it. The neglect in

:04:59.:05:02.

the first place was absolutely astonishing, but there would have

:05:03.:05:05.

been an added layer of protection for the workers if this secondary

:05:06.:05:08.

warning system had been in place, which would have meant that whilst

:05:09.:05:12.

we wouldn't have stopped the runaway, the workers on the site

:05:13.:05:15.

that would have been able to have enough warning to get clear and

:05:16.:05:25.

prevented the accident. Thank you. A hospital in Merseyside has

:05:26.:05:28.

admitted operating on patients with equipment that hadn't been

:05:29.:05:31.

sterilised properly. Nine patients at Arrowe Park Hospital were

:05:32.:05:34.

involved, including a woman having a caesarian section. They've all been

:05:35.:05:38.

tested for infections and found to be unharmed. Stuart Flinders has

:05:39.:05:44.

been looking into the story. No harm done, but this is a breach of basic

:05:45.:05:50.

hygiene, isn't it? The process of sterilising instruments used in

:05:51.:05:53.

operations is supposed to be rigorous. But we were contacted by a

:05:54.:05:57.

viewer who told us that on one occasion in January the normal

:05:58.:05:59.

procedure wasn't followed. Operations were carried out on a

:06:00.:06:03.

number of patients, including a woman having a caesarian section,

:06:04.:06:05.

using instruments that hadn't been sterilised properly, endangering the

:06:06.:06:11.

health of those involved. This is Arrowe Park's Sterile Services

:06:12.:06:14.

Department. They use a machine called an autoclave similar to this

:06:15.:06:18.

one. It treats surgical instruments under pressure and at high

:06:19.:06:20.

temperatures to kill off any bacteria. It's a three`stage

:06:21.:06:28.

process. But, on this occasion, the final stage was omitted. The person

:06:29.:06:33.

who got in touch with us blamed the 'overstretching of staff', claiming

:06:34.:06:35.

that basic indicators to show sterilisation has occurred have been

:06:36.:06:38.

removed because of cost`cutting at the hospital. Since being employed

:06:39.:06:43.

within the NHS the things I have seen make me ashamed to say that I

:06:44.:06:47.

work for them, says our correspondent. The Trust that runs

:06:48.:06:50.

Arrowe Park says staff aren't overstretched and this has nothing

:06:51.:06:54.

to do with cost`cutting. Procedures have changed, but only because of

:06:55.:06:58.

modernisation. They do admit that when nine of their patients went

:06:59.:07:02.

under the knife in January, the knife wasn't as clean as it should

:07:03.:07:05.

have been. Immediate action was taken, they say. The medical

:07:06.:07:07.

instruments affected were identified. The patients concerned

:07:08.:07:11.

have been contacted and tested for infection and given the all`clear. A

:07:12.:07:15.

statement from the Trust goes on: Rigorous processes, training and

:07:16.:07:18.

staff support are in place and a detailed investigation is on` going

:07:19.:07:22.

to identify the cause and ensure there is no repetition. ?NEWLINE

:07:23.:07:35.

Meanwhile, a report into care provided by the Royal Liverpool and

:07:36.:07:38.

Broadgreen Hospital Trust has highlighted concerns over staffing.

:07:39.:07:40.

The Care Quality Commission has warned the Trust it must take action

:07:41.:07:44.

` to minimise infection risk, manage medicines more effectively and

:07:45.:07:46.

improve dignity and privacy of patients. But overall, it found safe

:07:47.:07:50.

and effective care. An Australian driver, who was high

:07:51.:07:53.

on drugs and crashed a stolen car into a taxi killing a Manchester

:07:54.:07:57.

scientist, has been jailed. Sean Barrett, a quantum physicist, had

:07:58.:08:00.

just arrived in Perth in Western Australia for a science conference.

:08:01.:08:04.

Anthony Fogarty has been sentenced to 11 years. A jury in the real

:08:05.:08:15.

trial of the Attorney General has been discharged after failing to

:08:16.:08:19.

reach a verdict. Stephen Harden was accused of perjury and act against

:08:20.:08:26.

public justice. He was suspended as a government main adviser in 20 2

:08:27.:08:30.

and has been bailed pending the possibility of another retrial.

:08:31.:08:40.

Neighbours in a south Manchester suburb have reacted with shock and

:08:41.:08:43.

sadness today to the news that a 20`year`old local man has been

:08:44.:08:46.

killed fighting with the rebels in Syria. Anil Kahil Raolfi sent a

:08:47.:08:50.

series of tweets and pictures from the front line. It's believed he was

:08:51.:08:53.

killed just days after. His death comes as the government voiced

:08:54.:08:56.

concern over increasing number of British Muslims travelling to fight

:08:57.:08:59.

in Syria. Gill Dummigan reports A quiet unremarkable street in one

:09:00.:09:01.

of Manchester's most desirable suburbs. Today coming to terms with

:09:02.:09:05.

the fact that a young neighbour Anil Khalil Raoufi, flew thousands

:09:06.:09:08.

of miles to fight, and ultimately die with the Syrian rebels. We knew

:09:09.:09:14.

the family were quiet and peace loving people. I am surprised, yes.

:09:15.:09:20.

Very surprised and very sorry. Today, only police at the home. The

:09:21.:09:27.

family have been moved elsewhere. While we are investigating the

:09:28.:09:31.

circumstances around the death, his family are not under investigation.

:09:32.:09:35.

There are no suspicions attached to them. The family would like to take

:09:36.:09:40.

this opportunity to find Greater Manchester Police for their

:09:41.:09:42.

sensitivity. The family will not be talking to the media and want to be

:09:43.:09:48.

left alone in peace. This is Anil in Syria. By now he'd renamed himself

:09:49.:09:51.

Abu Layth. On his twitter feed he talks excitedly about the

:09:52.:09:54.

thunderclap of the bombs. He compares the battlefield to a scene

:09:55.:09:57.

from Star Wars and describes the bullets flying inches above their

:09:58.:10:00.

heads. On January the 30th, the tweets stop. Worshippers were

:10:01.:10:09.

collecting the Syrian refugees after Friday prayers. But the subject of

:10:10.:10:13.

fighting abroad got a mixed response. They are doing nothing

:10:14.:10:22.

about it. People get driven crazy, or do something. They have no

:10:23.:10:27.

business doing that. There are charities and organisations that

:10:28.:10:29.

help people. When it comes to fighting, I don't think,

:10:30.:10:38.

Denbighshire be done. The comment says it is expecting a problem with

:10:39.:10:43.

jihadi is returning to the UK `` government. It is a war thousands of

:10:44.:10:48.

miles away, but it has been apparent that in the street it can impact at

:10:49.:10:55.

home. Nearly 1000 homes are still without

:10:56.:10:58.

power this evening after hurricane force storms hit the North West two

:10:59.:11:01.

days ago. Engineers from North West Electric and ScottishPower are

:11:02.:11:04.

continuing to work across the region to restore the supply. Homes in

:11:05.:11:07.

Mid`Cheshire are worst affected and around 100 across Wirral, South

:11:08.:11:09.

Cumbria, Lancashire and Manchester are still waiting to be reconnected.

:11:10.:11:19.

We are in the countryside and there is no central heating, there's no

:11:20.:11:23.

heating. We can't have gas or anything like that, so we can't

:11:24.:11:26.

cook, we can't have warmth or have lights. Oh, it's horrible. When

:11:27.:11:29.

you're older you feel the cold. That is the problem. It has come back on

:11:30.:11:35.

just now, just this minute. That must be a relief? Yes, I can have a

:11:36.:11:42.

cup of tea now. It's not a constituency used to

:11:43.:11:45.

change. But early this morning the voters of Wythenshawe and Sale East

:11:46.:11:49.

chose only their third MP in 50 years. Yes, Labour's Mike Kane won a

:11:50.:11:52.

convincing victory in the by` election, caused by the death of the

:11:53.:11:55.

former MP Paul Goggins. Our political editor Arif Ansari was at

:11:56.:11:58.

the count overnight and assesses the implications of the vote.

:11:59.:12:04.

The Labour Leader Ed Miliband was in the constituency this morning

:12:05.:12:07.

enjoying a convincing win in a safe seat. But celebrations had started

:12:08.:12:20.

well before the result. It is a great honour to represent your

:12:21.:12:24.

hometown, so I am delighted. Sad circumstances with the death of

:12:25.:12:28.

Paul, but tremendously dedicated public servant will be huge shoes to

:12:29.:12:34.

fill. I hope the champion his causes and carry on his work. As the votes

:12:35.:12:38.

were counted, it was clear Labour had seen off the threat from UKIP. I

:12:39.:12:44.

think we were comes second. I'll be happy if we do. That represents

:12:45.:12:52.

good, growth. But not the political breakthrough some in the leadership

:12:53.:12:55.

had hoped for. Labour had won more than half the vote. But while UKIP

:12:56.:12:59.

was well behind, it did manage to knock the Conservatives into third

:13:00.:13:07.

place. The Prime Minister, inspect and storm damage, was dusting off

:13:08.:13:12.

the political damage. These are times where people know they can

:13:13.:13:15.

send a message and make a protest about changing the government, but

:13:16.:13:20.

there messages I always listen to them closely and I will do on this

:13:21.:13:23.

occasion. The Liberal Democrats chose to suffer in silence, after

:13:24.:13:31.

securing less than 5% of the vote. While some are lost for words,

:13:32.:13:37.

voters spoke out, selecting only their third MP in 50 years. . The

:13:38.:13:52.

big question throughout this election was how well would UKIP do.

:13:53.:13:57.

What do you make of their result? You are right. How well would they

:13:58.:14:04.

do was a subtext. Let's look at what happened. There was a strong showing

:14:05.:14:13.

four years ago. You could barely features but strong support for the

:14:14.:14:18.

Tories and Lib Dems. What happened overnight, you can see that Labour

:14:19.:14:24.

shoot ahead even further. UKIP have a substantial jump, there is no

:14:25.:14:28.

doubt about it. They go into second place. The Lib Dems are virtually

:14:29.:14:33.

destroyed. The Tories take a hit. If you look at that, yes you can save

:14:34.:14:40.

UKIP second, but quite a distance to labour. They are not close and only

:14:41.:14:46.

just ahead of Tories. I don't think they have succeeded in saying they

:14:47.:14:50.

are the main opposition to Labour in these kinds of constituencies. This

:14:51.:15:03.

is great for my came `` Mike Cane. We have on Sunday on Sunday

:15:04.:15:07.

Politics. He will be one of our guests and also some of UKIP will

:15:08.:15:12.

stop they will have a discussion if there is any thing to talk about.

:15:13.:15:19.

Still to come on North West Tonight. Who will be getting their hands on

:15:20.:15:23.

the FA Cup this year? It could be one of four North West teams.

:15:24.:15:27.

And it may be wet, but the Lake District is THE place for

:15:28.:15:34.

Valentine's Day love. Last week we had technology giant

:15:35.:15:38.

Apple lauding a teacher from the Isle of Man, Alex Townsend, as one

:15:39.:15:42.

of the top 30 innovators of the last 30 years. Today, one of its biggest

:15:43.:15:47.

competitors has been in Liverpool to encourage youngsters to follow his

:15:48.:15:51.

path. Google is supporting a project called "code club". It's been set up

:15:52.:15:56.

to help schoolchildren learn how to programme computers and not just use

:15:57.:16:00.

their features. Mark Edwardson went along to watch them learn the trick

:16:01.:16:09.

of the trade. The 21st`century boys of St Margaret's Anfield C of E

:16:10.:16:12.

primary school expertly crafting and creating computer code. Once you

:16:13.:16:20.

locate a net it will make a sound effect. We have had a lot of

:16:21.:16:31.

software. This is Code Club, an organisation set up to teach

:16:32.:16:35.

children programming skills. I enjoy it because it gets you out of maths

:16:36.:16:44.

in school. I would like to do it as a job because it is fun. Google are

:16:45.:16:48.

supporting Code Club. The technology giant is on a nationwide tour that

:16:49.:16:53.

landed in Liverpool today. Some of these kids are brilliant and may

:16:54.:16:57.

well become programmers, not with the fantastic because it is a skill

:16:58.:17:01.

which is becoming more important across the economy, not just a

:17:02.:17:06.

Google but in other sectors. Running quietly in the background are

:17:07.:17:14.

science and maths. We liken it to sneak and vegetables into a meal, so

:17:15.:17:19.

they are having fun and make it exciting things. They don't realise

:17:20.:17:22.

they are learning all these amazing computer science concepts. This

:17:23.:17:31.

might look like fun but it is also serious. From now on children as

:17:32.:17:36.

young as five will be taught as to programme as well as using

:17:37.:17:41.

computers. Children have come in fresh today. They're been helped as

:17:42.:17:48.

well. Maybe you can't teach an old dog new tricks But within a decade

:17:49.:17:51.

some of these whizz kids could be driving the digital world. Mark

:17:52.:17:54.

Edwardson, BBC North West tonight, Liverpool.

:17:55.:17:57.

Sport now, and the FA Cup in a moment but Richard some news first

:17:58.:18:00.

of all on an investigation into a well known manager? Yes we

:18:01.:18:03.

understand that the Tranmere Rovers manager Ronnie Moore is being

:18:04.:18:05.

investigated by the Football Association over a claim he breached

:18:06.:18:09.

betting rules. It's understood the allegation relates to regulations

:18:10.:18:12.

preventing him from betting in any competition in which the club is

:18:13.:18:17.

involved. I should stress we don't yet know any more about this

:18:18.:18:20.

allegation, although he hasn't been charged or suspended. Neither the

:18:21.:18:23.

club nor the FA is making any comment. This is Ronnie Moore's

:18:24.:18:27.

second stint in charge of the club he played for as well. Rovers are

:18:28.:18:30.

currently two places above the League One relegation zone.

:18:31.:18:36.

The FA Cup takes centre stage this weekend and the holders, Wigan

:18:37.:18:40.

Athletic, are still in there. Now a Championship club of course, not

:18:41.:18:43.

many Latics fans will be thinking lightning is likely to strike twice.

:18:44.:18:46.

But they face Cardiff City, who re bottom of the Premier League, and

:18:47.:18:49.

will certainly fancy their chances of making the quarter finals. And

:18:50.:18:52.

our three remaining top flight teams all have good reason to think their

:18:53.:18:57.

name could be the next one on that famous trophy.

:18:58.:19:04.

It was a victory which restored the romance of the cup. Wigan Athletic

:19:05.:19:07.

may have gone down from the Premier League but they will go down in

:19:08.:19:11.

history as one of the FA Cup's greatest stories. Even though they

:19:12.:19:15.

are even bigger underdogs this time, they're not ready to wave

:19:16.:19:20.

goodbye just yet. We go to Cardiff with optimism and confidence, and I

:19:21.:19:30.

think we can surprise them. Wiggin's unforgettable Wembley

:19:31.:19:35.

moment was certainly want to forget for beaten finalists Manchester

:19:36.:19:38.

City. They're part of the quarterfinals this time could not be

:19:39.:19:41.

easier. Premier League leaders Chelsea, who beat city a week and a

:19:42.:19:47.

half ago standard no way. We see tomorrow best 11 starting against

:19:48.:19:52.

Chelsea, and we have an important game on Tuesday, so we will see

:19:53.:20:01.

tomorrow the team. There is a feeling amongst Everton fans that

:20:02.:20:05.

perhaps this could be their year put up blue supporters have their day

:20:06.:20:10.

out at Wembley in 2009, losing to Chelsea. Of course, they now have a

:20:11.:20:14.

man in charge who knows exactly what it is like to win it. We are facing

:20:15.:20:21.

a very much welcome distraction with the FA Cup. The fifth round is

:20:22.:20:29.

always exciting. A different competition, and a different day,

:20:30.:20:34.

but Liverpool's next opponents have certainly been warned. Arsenal. The

:20:35.:20:38.

smarting from their recent hammering at the hands of Brendan Rodgers s

:20:39.:20:49.

men. We want to win the FA cup. It is different for Arsenal and they

:20:50.:21:00.

have a massive game after us. Some cracking matches. In the Winter

:21:01.:21:11.

Britain's place of love is the Lake District which is currently listed

but things will allow you to get out and about. This man arraigned today

going. The wind gradually starts to pick itself up again. The only

positive thing I can say in this broadcast is that the cloud hold

your temperatures up to five or six degrees, which is quite unexpected

:26:14.:26:17.

at this time of year. Tomorrow morning is the same old story. That

band of rain which will come and go. We have winds of gale force as well.

but hopefully you won't see too many of them. The temperatures hardly

rise to six or seven. That'll be the best you get. Sunday should not be

too bad. The morning is dry and bright. We will have rain at the
