Good evening. Welcome to NorthWest Tonight with

:00:09.:00:11.

Roger Johnson and Annabel Thffin. Our top story: tributes to ` doctor

:00:12.:00:15.

from Manchester, one of two mothers, who drowned in Tenerife tryhng to

:00:16.:00:18.

rescue their children. Thred people were rescued by the Spanish

:00:19.:00:20.

authorities. Also in tonight's programme:

:00:21.:00:23.

Protestors set up camp against plans to drill for gas near Chestdr Zoo. A

:00:24.:00:31.

hundred years ago today a process was developed here at the sdwage

:00:32.:00:36.

works here in Manchester, and a change the world. I will tell you

:00:37.:00:38.

how. And a taste of the 1700s. The

:00:39.:00:41.

300`year`old cookbook returning to its Lake District home.

:00:42.:00:58.

Colleagues have been paying tribute to a consultant from Oldham Hospital

:00:59.:01:01.

who drowned on holiday in Tdnerife saving two children. Uma

:01:02.:01:04.

Rama`limgam, who was 42 and from Altrincham, was on a family holiday

:01:05.:01:07.

when the tragedy happened. @nother woman also died. Our reportdr,

:01:08.:01:09.

Elaine Dunkley, is at Oldhal Hospital now. Elaine, how dhd this

:01:10.:01:25.

happen? Uma Rama`limgam helps to save the life of many peopld by

:01:26.:01:32.

working here at this hospit`l. Sadly on Sunday she died in China to save

:01:33.:01:40.

the lives of two children. Ht is understood that the doctor, two

:01:41.:01:49.

women and two children all believed to be related, were all standing on

:01:50.:01:56.

a rock when they were swept into the water by a large wave. The children

:01:57.:02:01.

were taken to hospital with hypothermia. But in spite of the

:02:02.:02:08.

accounts, Uma Rama`limgam drowned along with another woman. Locally

:02:09.:02:14.

women have commented that it is a dangerous part of the beach and

:02:15.:02:18.

there has been a call are more coastguards in that area. What has

:02:19.:02:24.

the hospital had to say abott the incident?

:02:25.:02:30.

Uma Rama`limgam was a consultant and was very well regarded. She has

:02:31.:02:33.

worked at a number of hospitals in Manchester. The consultants here

:02:34.:02:41.

were too distressed to tell us on camera how they felt, but they gave

:02:42.:02:44.

a statement saying they werd very sad to hear of the death of Uma

:02:45.:02:52.

Rama`limgam. She was a fant`stic doctor at the Royal Oldham Hospital.

:02:53.:02:56.

This is a terrible shock to everyone who knew Uma Rama`limgam. I thought

:02:57.:03:02.

I with her family and she whll be very much missed.

:03:03.:03:10.

Now, battles over fracking have already taken place in Lanc`shire

:03:11.:03:13.

and at Barton Moss near Salford But the now the front line is a field

:03:14.:03:16.

near Chester Zoo. Anti`fracking protesters moved in over thd weekend

:03:17.:03:20.

to try and stop Dart Energy from test drilling a field in Upton and

:03:21.:03:24.

the zoo has given those agahnst any gas exploration its support. Stuart

:03:25.:03:28.

Pollitt reports. Fanning the flames of protest, or

:03:29.:03:32.

fuelling the fight to protect weird feeling. Whatever your opinhon,

:03:33.:03:38.

protesters set up camp at the weekend and say they are thdre for

:03:39.:03:42.

the long haul. We will be hdre until we go away. I have not been sleeping

:03:43.:03:48.

here, but I have been coming here every day. We do have our ddtractors

:03:49.:03:54.

and those who do not want fossil fuels... This is who they are

:03:55.:03:57.

protesting against. He recently told Australian investors there hs up to

:03:58.:04:05.

100 trillion cubic metres of gas under northern England. It does not

:04:06.:04:13.

take me many square miles to have an enormous amount of gas. His firm is

:04:14.:04:20.

one of the that have the right to drill for gas. Their licencd covers

:04:21.:04:28.

a large part of Cheshire. Today the firm was packing up after tdsting

:04:29.:04:34.

the site outside Chester. Wd are getting here before they get here.

:04:35.:04:41.

There are eight schools close to this area, we cannot have trucks

:04:42.:04:47.

going around effecting the children. This site is around one mild away

:04:48.:05:01.

from Chester Sue. `` Zune. The company did not respond to our

:05:02.:05:07.

request for comment today, but they have applied for planning pdrmission

:05:08.:05:12.

to drill for methane. When they arrive, they will not find ` warm

:05:13.:05:18.

welcome. That is the situation in Chdshire,

:05:19.:05:20.

where test drilling may start soon. Elsewhere, drilling tests h`ve

:05:21.:05:32.

already taken place. This is very controversial, and anti`fracking

:05:33.:05:37.

protesters have been there throughout the test. Earlier I spoke

:05:38.:05:47.

to one of the companies drilling for gas. I think it is a matter for the

:05:48.:05:54.

whole of the `` I think it hs a matter for the Home Office to

:05:55.:05:59.

address and compensate people. They have agreed to contribute to the

:06:00.:06:07.

funds available. The Prime Linister said that he would consider helping

:06:08.:06:12.

greater Manchester, but ulthmately people think that you are does he

:06:13.:06:21.

stand to profit from fracking. Surely, you should help to pay

:06:22.:06:26.

towards placing the protest. If this is successful there will be an

:06:27.:06:30.

obvious benefit to the nation as a whole. That will go to pay towards

:06:31.:06:38.

the main policing forces except That ultimately is the benefit that

:06:39.:06:42.

will come from the activity that we had been undertaking. We now have

:06:43.:06:47.

six months of testing the g`s and the potential for more wealth. Do

:06:48.:06:55.

you see in your experience that fracking here is more likelx than

:06:56.:07:03.

ever? I think in order to demonstrate whether or not shield

:07:04.:07:05.

gas can bring the benefits that people talk about to the nation we

:07:06.:07:12.

need to strap a well and sed whether it will flow. If we can do that

:07:13.:07:20.

both safely and environment`lly responsible if, there will be a

:07:21.:07:27.

massive benefit to the nation as a hall in terms of security stpply and

:07:35.:07:52.

A man has been charged in connection with the death of a 4`month`old baby

:07:53.:07:56.

in Wigan. Paramedics were c`lled to a house on Beech Hill Avenud in

:07:57.:07:59.

February when they found thd girl unconscious and not breathing. A

:08:00.:08:02.

postmortem examination found the baby had a number of fractures on

:08:03.:08:06.

the head and body. Martin Thomas has been charged with six counts of

:08:07.:08:09.

assault. He's due to appear at Wigan Magistrates on Friday.

:08:10.:08:12.

The judge hearing the trial of the Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans, has

:08:13.:08:15.

begun summing up the case. Lr Evans denies nine sex offence charges

:08:16.:08:18.

Earlier, the defence barrister representing Mr Evans gave his

:08:19.:08:21.

closing speech to the jury. He said they had to distinguish between

:08:22.:08:25.

drunken behaviour and criminal acts. The new Hillsborough inquest has

:08:26.:08:28.

heard how a Liverpool fan tried to reassure his younger brother over

:08:29.:08:34.

but that both brothers died in the disaster. This was just one of the

:08:35.:08:37.

stories the jury heard todax as relatives continued reading out "pen

:08:38.:08:40.

portraits" of the 96 victims. The Coroner's Court also heard `bout a

:08:41.:08:43.

wife who was six months pregnant when her husband died at

:08:44.:08:46.

Hillsborough, and a young m`n who would have made a fantastic father.

:08:47.:08:50.

Our reporter Andy Gill is in Warrington live for us tonight.

:08:51.:08:53.

Andy, tell us about the brothers first.

:08:54.:08:57.

Christopher and Kevin Trainor were from a large family. They wdre aged

:08:58.:09:06.

26 and 16. Kevin had been to the match in the year before and he was

:09:07.:09:17.

worried about going back. Otr brother Kevin had been at the

:09:18.:09:25.

stadium for the semifinals hn 1 88. When he heard that the final would

:09:26.:09:29.

be there, he said, all all not there. His brother tried to reassure

:09:30.:09:36.

him and said, don't worry I will be there. We heard other tributes

:09:37.:09:45.

today. Who else did we hear about? We heard from Sarah Brown, who is

:09:46.:09:54.

the widow of a man who died. I have tried to shove my daughter with bad

:09:55.:09:56.

the's love, which I know wotld have flowed with the abundance from my

:09:57.:10:06.

husband. She had desperatelx wanted a little girl and he would have been

:10:07.:10:14.

the best other in the world. We held about another man `` heard.

:10:15.:10:24.

They had so many dreams and a great future ahead of them. I know he

:10:25.:10:29.

would have made a fantastic father. His death has left a massivd void in

:10:30.:10:37.

our family and we miss him. Let me tell you about Gary, who had a chip

:10:38.:10:44.

it made to him by his father. He said, to think that the Hillsborough

:10:45.:10:53.

disaster could have been avoided if the hardest thing.

:10:54.:11:08.

The office desk used to be ` place you could call your own. But no

:11:09.:11:20.

more. It is supposed to savd space and make for less clutter, because

:11:21.:11:24.

with hot desking all the desks are shared. It doesn't suit everybody.

:11:25.:11:27.

In fact, one office worker from Manchester has even sued his bosses,

:11:28.:11:30.

claiming hot`desking led to panic attacks. Stuart Flinders is in our

:11:31.:11:40.

newsroom, where there's a hot desk policy. Seriously there is ` serious

:11:41.:11:45.

side to this? This is my best today, but it is a bit like musical chairs

:11:46.:11:50.

in here and I could be over there tomorrow.

:11:51.:11:55.

Many people do not like it. Once upon a time, an office had a

:11:56.:11:59.

door with your name on it or at least your own desk with a picture

:12:00.:12:03.

of your loved ones. Now, offices are often huge barn`like rooms `nd if

:12:04.:12:07.

there is a hot desk policy, you may have to sit at a different desk

:12:08.:12:11.

every day...if you can find one It doesn't suit everybody. There are

:12:12.:12:16.

people I think who when thex get into the office, they think that is

:12:17.:12:20.

me over there, my desk, my pictures are there, people know wherd to go

:12:21.:12:23.

to find me. Those are peopld who need the structure. But when you hot

:12:24.:12:28.

desk, there are people who think I am just another part of the

:12:29.:12:32.

equipment. They move desks `round, they move computers around, they

:12:33.:12:35.

move me around. One office worker, a 999 operator, resigned his job with

:12:36.:12:38.

the North West Ambulance Service, because of hot`desking. Nathan

:12:39.:12:44.

Roberts says he has an anxidty disorder and would suffer p`nic

:12:45.:12:47.

attacks whenever he found a colleague in his preferred seat He

:12:48.:12:52.

accused his bosses of breakhng the Disability Discrimination Act and

:12:53.:12:55.

sued them, but an Appeal Cotrt judge has ruled against him. A random

:12:56.:13:01.

survey of office workers today suggested some resistance to the

:13:02.:13:07.

very idea of hot`desking. I prefer having my own desk. I like having my

:13:08.:13:12.

own stuff in my own drawers. If you are constantly moving around the

:13:13.:13:15.

office, it feels like you do not have a home. What do you thhnk about

:13:16.:13:19.

hot desking? I personally do not like it. Why not? Because you cannot

:13:20.:13:23.

settle and put your stuff down, you have to keep putting your stuff in a

:13:24.:13:28.

box and moving it. I have done it in the past, but I find it verx

:13:29.:13:31.

unsettling. It is like you do not belong. I like to have everxthing

:13:32.:13:36.

where I know it is going to be. Like it or not, hot`desking is in vogue,

:13:37.:13:40.

and having your own desk sedms to be going the way of office smoking

:13:41.:13:43.

Stuart Flinders, BBC North West Tonight, Manchester. I don't think

:13:44.:13:48.

many of us would like to go back to the days of smoking in officers One

:13:49.:14:00.

of the Earth says, I hot desk and my biggest bright is the state that the

:14:01.:14:06.

desks are left them. In othdr viewer said, hot desk and is a nightmare.

:14:07.:14:12.

You need your own stuff arotnd to do your job. But this year said, it

:14:13.:14:28.

does not bother her at all. Still to come tonight: Everton

:14:29.:14:34.

hormone on the champions title.

:14:35.:14:43.

The old book that is bringing a case of the path to a historic f`rmhouse.

:14:44.:14:51.

Manchester is known as a pioneering place for many things ` the computer

:14:52.:14:54.

and the Co`operative Movement amongst them. But did you know that

:14:55.:14:58.

a hundred years ago, it was responsible for inventing '`ctivated

:14:59.:15:00.

sludge', a way of dealing whth sewage which changed the world. Judy

:15:01.:15:21.

Hobson reports. This is what all the fuss is about `

:15:22.:15:25.

activated sludge. A sewage treatment invented right here in Davyhulme.

:15:26.:15:28.

Air is pumped into the sewage, allowing micro`organisms to breathe.

:15:29.:15:31.

It basically adds bugs to the process, which eat the food in the

:15:32.:15:35.

sewerage and convert that sdwerage into refined and purified w`ter The

:15:36.:15:41.

sludge falls to the bottom, allowing the cleaner water on the top to

:15:42.:15:44.

eventually flow into the Manchester ship canal. So this is what the

:15:45.:15:49.

water looks like when it arrives, and this is how it looks whdn it has

:15:50.:15:53.

been treated. This plant trdats waste from 1.2 million people living

:15:54.:15:58.

in Manchester every single day. There is quite a strong smell in the

:15:59.:16:01.

air. Dealing with sewage wasn't always so simple. The Davyhtlme

:16:02.:16:05.

Works opened in 1894 to copd with all the

:16:06.:16:12.

and rivers were in danger of becoming seriously polluted.

:16:13.:16:20.

Activated sludge was a major breakthrough, because it en`bled the

:16:21.:16:23.

waste from millions to be treated in a relatively small space, allowing

:16:24.:16:26.

cities to grow on scale nevdr seen before. Within just a few ydars

:16:27.:16:32.

major cities such as Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Texas, Californi`, all

:16:33.:16:35.

over the United States it w`s in use. International experts gathered

:16:36.:16:42.

in Manchester this month for the centenary celebrations. 100 years

:16:43.:16:47.

later it is still a critical technology. And today the sludge can

:16:48.:16:53.

be recycled, some of it is tsed to generate electricity, making

:16:54.:16:55.

Davyhulme self`sufficient in energy and still at the forefront of the

:16:56.:16:58.

waste industry. Judy Hobson, BBC North West Tonight, Manchester. Hard

:16:59.:17:11.

to know how to go from that to Richard and the sport. Grah`m Sharpe

:17:12.:17:21.

is here to talk about an am`zing weekend on the Premier Leagte.

:17:22.:17:32.

Everton were sensational. They currently are fifth in point and a

:17:33.:17:39.

place behind the gunners, btt with a game in hand A situation

:17:40.:17:44.

will certainly be enjoying. Former Everton striker Graeme Sharp. How

:17:45.:17:46.

would you rate that perform`nce yesterday? That is probably the best

:17:47.:17:54.

performance against Arsenal since the inception of the Premier

:17:55.:18:03.

League. Just watching the fhrst goal now, this is what he had to say To

:18:04.:18:14.

be able to perform a team that have been setting standards in Etropean

:18:15.:18:20.

football, that is a massive day Seems to be very tactically

:18:21.:18:29.

flexible, he surprised Arsenal this time. It got Arsenal by surprise. He

:18:30.:18:40.

took the ball very very well. Roberto over the season has been

:18:41.:18:44.

very good tactically, whethdr it is substitution saw the starting XI.

:18:45.:18:53.

There seems to be a real togetherness in the team and he

:18:54.:18:58.

seems to have got the team dnjoying what they are doing. I think the

:18:59.:19:05.

team enjoying playing for hhm. They are excited. Do you think they have

:19:06.:19:16.

got city and United at home, that Everton will finish in that top

:19:17.:19:22.

precision. It is in their own hands. The next game is important, against

:19:23.:19:27.

Sunderland. Hopefully they can take that and go from there. I al sure

:19:28.:19:31.

that Roberto will say, less than the next game is the most important

:19:32.:19:39.

Everton have been sensation`l. Meanwhile Liverpool return to the

:19:40.:19:45.

top of the table. They scordd twice from the penalty spot. They had a

:19:46.:19:53.

4`0 win over Southampton. They have two games in hand. Manchestdr United

:19:54.:20:02.

scoring here during their 4`1 win to Newcastle.

:20:03.:20:07.

The former Wigan Athletic c`ptain, Arjan De Zeeuw, and his new career

:20:08.:20:11.

feature in tonight's Late Khck Off programme. Since retiring, the

:20:12.:20:14.

Dutchman has turned detective and is now based at the central police

:20:15.:20:17.

station in his hometown of @lkmaar. Having nearly completed his final

:20:18.:20:20.

qualifications, he will soon be investigating crimes includhng

:20:21.:20:24.

murder. You learn how to shoot with a gun. You learn how to intdrrogate

:20:25.:20:30.

people. Now it is more the investigative process that xou get

:20:31.:20:35.

used to. It is challenging `nd the good thing is that it is sthll a

:20:36.:20:41.

team effort. You hardly ever solve a crime on your own. You need a team

:20:42.:20:47.

of people around you. New lhne Tonight's late kick off is on BBC

:20:48.:20:50.

One at 11.25. Tony Livesey's joined by Oldham manager Lee Johnson and

:20:51.:20:53.

Accrington's former Bolton Wanderers defender Nicky Hunt.

:20:54.:20:57.

Cricket now and Lancashire `re at Nottinghamshire for their opening

:20:58.:21:00.

match of the new season in Division One. After rain delayed start today,

:21:01.:21:03.

Lancashire have struggled and are on 77`6. That is 195 runs behind

:21:04.:21:05.

Nottinghamshire's first Innhngs score of 272. However, Lanc`shire

:21:06.:21:09.

can take heart in the knowlddge that Jimmy Anderson took five wickets for

:21:10.:21:12.

54. It's been a turbulent fdw years for the Red Rose club. They won the

:21:13.:21:16.

Division One title in 2011 only to be relegated 12`months later. Then

:21:17.:21:19.

last season promotion returned them to the top flight. Mark Edw`rdson

:21:20.:21:27.

went to meet the squad to fhnd out how they intend to stay there.

:21:28.:21:31.

Back in the First Division `nd showing off their new kit. Hn red,

:21:32.:21:41.

white, or blue depending on the competition. Tickled pink to be back

:21:42.:21:46.

in the top flight. Over the last couple of seasons we have bden short

:21:47.:21:50.

in some areas for bilious rdasons and we have been praying th`t we

:21:51.:21:53.

will not get too many injurhes. In theory we should be competitive team

:21:54.:22:02.

lies there is strength in ddpth Alongside Jim Anderson. 23 gold

:22:03.:22:09.

that's when Lewis Rees. Since he debuted half way through last

:22:10.:22:12.

season, he averaged many runs per match.

:22:13.:22:20.

leading this season's chargd. Definitely. At the start evdryone is

:22:21.:22:27.

equal. We have got internathonal superstars and I know the l`ds are

:22:28.:22:31.

up for it and will give it ` go Lancashire's head coach arrhves at

National Post is leaking ag`in he has shown an interest. I have showed

an interest. I just need to wait and see. I need to balance it whth

Lancashire. It is unlikely to ever be a

:23:42.:23:47.

bestseller, but this book is a piece of literary history. It was

:23:48.:23:57.

handwritten in 16 90. What hs more the recipes it contains are being

:23:58.:24:06.

brought back to life. It looks like the past, and now it

:24:07.:24:15.

is beginning to smell like the past. It has currents, Apple, Peel,

:24:16.:24:25.

fortified wine. The unusual thing is that it also has meat in it, this is

:24:26.:24:32.

boiled beef. It is one of the many recipes contained in this book,
