missing. That's all from the BBC News at Six - so it's goodbye from | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Welcome to North West Tonight with Annabel Tiffin... | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
The Cyril Smith abuse scandal widens as more alleged | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
Police say they've identified a total of 21 suspects | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
New claims doctors' dodgy handwriting is putting patients | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
How a row could change the face of this land forever. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
Life through a lens ` the people coming face to face with | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
And I have been talking to the second fastest man in the world, he | :00:37. | :00:53. | |
has been causing quite a stir at the school in Manchester. `` this | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
school. Greater Manchester Police have | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
confirmed seven alleged victims of the former Rochdale MP Cyril Smith | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
have now come forward saying they they were abused at the Knowl View | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
residential school in the town. Detectives say they're investigating | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
a total of 21 suspects, including Cyril Smith, and they | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
expect to make arrests soon. Ten men have come forward, three of | :01:13. | :01:40. | |
these are new victims. Seven of them say that they were allegedly abused | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
by Cyril Smith back in the 1970s and 1980s. This was an all boys school | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
and it was run by Rochdale council but it closed in the late 90s. | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
Officers say they now have 21 suspects, 14 of which they have | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
identified and one of them is Cyril Smith. They also say that some of | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
the suspects actually worked at the school and were members of staff | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
there. Cyril Smith was a governor at the school and he was the Liberal MP | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
for Rochdale back in the 1970s up until 1992. He died in 2010 and his | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
family have always said that he categorically denied these | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
allegations of abuse. What are the police saying? The police have | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
reopened the investigation, that was 18 months ago. Since then Rochdale | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
Council have also opened an inquiry to find out whether or not this was | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
a massive cover`up. What was coming on `` going on and he knew what was | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
happening? The police tell me this happening? The police tell me this | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
is a complex investigation and they are expecting to make arrest is | :02:52. | :03:02. | |
imminently over the next few months. We're joined now by Peter Garsden, | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
who is representing one of the victims. What is your reaction to | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
the news that 21 potential suspects have now been identified? My firm | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
has dealt with child abuse cases in children's homes over the years, it | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
does not surprise me that there are more than one abuser. Talk a bit | :03:25. | :03:34. | |
about the breadth of your experience, we will come to that in | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
minutes, but you will know from that that it is difficult to prove in | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
things like this, historical abuse, time and lack of evidence, | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
everything else. How confident are you that justice, we need to be | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
done, can be done? There are new wave of prosecutions, a new attitude | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
by the police. They will build their case, and hopefully, the victims, he | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
had been waiting for many years, will get some justice, but we will | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
have to wait and see how the investigation develops. What was the | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
police's attitude for? There was an attitude that you've looked at one | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
victim and did not look any further. But the new guidelines, they are | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
looking at other cases and they are trying to build an investigation | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
with more victims, which is a much better attitude. Just quickly, do | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
you think now that there is a need for a public inquiry? Are we to find | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
out what went on but also fight was not uncovered before. There was an | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
investigation in the past which obviously was not affected. Needs to | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
be an overarching umbrella inquiry with the power to command documents | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
to find out why this investigation previously not successful. You have | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
alluded to your breadth of experience. We're looking at | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
Rochdale, a couple of homes. But is this something that happened in | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
Greater Manchester and across the country that we still have to get to | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
the bottom of? In the 1990s 41 out of 43 major police forces had a | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
major child abuse investigation on your patch. Thank you very much | :05:18. | :05:33. | |
indeed. A man has described how he had the | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
body of his wife button eyes murdering her. | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
This is a murder trial without a body. Her body has never been found. | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
Andrew Fletcher is at Manchester Crown Court for us. The accused told | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
the court wife but was responding to voices in | :05:53. | :06:32. | |
his head. He said that he saw his wife having foreheads, heads very | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
long to the ground, very big meals and sharp teeth. She was extending | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
her hands around my neck, I could not breathe, | :06:42. | :08:06. | |
A man's body has been found in an estuary in Cumbria. | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
The discovery was made after 76`year`old John Allen from Preston | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
went missing two weeks ago while walking his dog at Ravenglass. | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
Doctors' handwriting is a long`standing joke, | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
inspection at Manchester Royal Infirmary found that some medical | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
that some medical notes were so hard to read that patients were at risk. | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
Inspectors found that many medical and nursing records were illegible. | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
The Infirmary is now introducing a new system of recording notes | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
electronically to make sure patients get the right treatment. | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
A sample of doctors' handwriting from an American nurse's blog. | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
Decipher it incorrectly and the patient could end up with | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
An inspection at the Manchester Royal Infirmary and | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
Royal Manchester Children's Hospital found similar examples. | :08:43. | :08:51. | |
The inspectors from the Care Quality Commission found that many entries | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
and medical records were illegible and that staff had to get together | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
to work out what doctors had intended to write. They concluded | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
that the impact was likely to be miner but evidence of poor | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
record`keeping was found on all but one of the words that they visited. | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
?It can be a nightmare to read the doctors' notes.? | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
In the report, they were of the view that it would have a miner impact on | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
patient care. But they do say that patients were at risk? I would | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
stress that it was an issue we were already aware of and were taking | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
stretched to `` taking steps to try to address. | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
How good Doctor Martyn Russel's handwriting is no longer matters. | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
He's in the vanguard of a new way of keeping notes and medical records | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
His notes and prescriptions used to be handwritten and stored | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
Now they go directly onto a computer. | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
Have you had particular problems in the past? Yes, lots of Rob Holmes. | :09:58. | :10:06. | |
How did you cope with that? You used to have to find the person and then | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
ask. `` yes, lots of problems. The new system will eventually be | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
introduced in all areas of the Record`keeping in the NHS is | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
finally entering the 12st century. Stuart Flinders, | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
BBC North West Tonight, Manchester. One week today you will have the | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
chance to vote in the European elections. Last night we reported on | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
Labour, UKIP and the Conservatives. But which other parties are in | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
contention? Well, five years ago the BNP stole the headlines after Nick | :10:38. | :10:47. | |
Griffin became one of the North West's eight Euro MPs. We'll be | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
talking to him shortly. our political editor Arif Ansari has | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
been out on the campaign trail with The Liberal Democrats | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
might be struggling. But veteran Euro MP Chris Davies is | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
relying on his personal record My name is Chris Davies. No, I am | :11:00. | :11:11. | |
sorry. That was you. How can I win a vote with you here? | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
Well, it's certainly going to be tighter than five years ago. | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
While Mr Davies is certain he'll beat the British National Party, | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
The buttons that the BNP presses, which are to exploit the differences | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
between people, to create skier stories about immigrants and the | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
like maltose buttons are being pressed by UKIP. TUC them as one and | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
the same `` do you see them as one in the same? They're not the same, | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
but you will find every racist in the country voting for UKIP. | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
Back in 2009 Nick Griffin was a winner. | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
The other parties walked off stage in disgust. | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
Since then Mr Griffin's audience appears to have deserted him | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
But back in Congleton ` support for another challenger. | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
The Green Party seems more interested in the environment than | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
anybody else. But when it comes to the proper elections. For me next | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
week is a proper election! The mac it is only a waste of time for | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
money, isn't it? He's just the kind | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
of protest voter the Greens want. Most people are fed up with the | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
large parties at the moment, quite understandably so, because there are | :12:27. | :12:38. | |
no real differences between policies. | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
The Greens and the Lib Dems are in direct competition. | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
But, positive or not, it's UKIP setting the agenda. | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
I am going to leave you to it, but thank you very much. Very true, but | :12:47. | :12:57. | |
at least the campaigning only has one week to go. | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
There are total of 11 parties standing in the elections in the | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
North West. For more information, have a look at the website at the | :13:08. | :13:08. | |
bottom of the screen. It is a week today. The 22nd of May. | :13:09. | :13:30. | |
One of the candidates is Nick Griffin, the BNP leader and North | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
West European MP. He came on earlier and I asked him, with his party | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
facing the prospect of heavy defeat this time round, why should people | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
vote for him? This election is about immigration. Some people think that | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
voting for UKIP is an anti`immigration vote. It is not, | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
their policy would mean keeping out Polish people but allowing in | :13:55. | :14:02. | |
Africans and Asians. People can vote for that if they want. We do not | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
care if they are quite or black or brown or green, Britain is full, we | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
should shut the door. You cannot deny that UKIP will steal some of | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
the voters that perhaps would have voted for you in 2009, disaffected, | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
quite, working class people, but perhaps they do not know like the | :14:23. | :14:34. | |
extremism of the BNP. UKIP will not steal votes. But the BBC has helped | :14:35. | :14:45. | |
him. They have had Nigel Farage on question Time virtually every other | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
week. It has created the impression that UKIP are something special, but | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
they are not, they are BBC puppet. Happens but in your party, your | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
other MEP has left. You have lost your councillors in Burnley, you | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
only have one left in Pendle. That cannot be down to the BBC. Town, | :15:08. | :15:17. | |
parish and community councillors are working hard for the local | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
communities. It is not just the BBC. The British government uses the | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
equality commission with 70 tax funded lawyers taking us to court. | :15:28. | :15:35. | |
They try to bankrupt us. When a party is subjected to this kind of | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
pressure... It is all conspiracy against the BNP, you have not | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
brought any of it against yourselves? Because they go against | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
all of the big vested interests. Why has the BNP used the murder of Lee | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
Rigby to promote itself? The BBC would never dare ask the question of | :16:02. | :16:11. | |
someone... Why would you use Lee Rigby's name in a campaign when his | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
family do not want that? When the families and these are routinely | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
bullied by the mass media, the court system, the police, by going away | :16:22. | :16:29. | |
quietly, it means that people like ourselves who are here to stand up | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
for white people, victims of white racism, are not allowed to do it | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
because it is racist. It is an outrageous thing, we have to talk | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
about the appalling case of Lee Rigby, because that the government | :16:43. | :16:44. | |
and British political elite do not get to grips with it then he will | :16:45. | :16:55. | |
not be the last. Tomorrow we will be talking to the | :16:56. | :16:56. | |
Green Party. A dispute over a patch of land | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
in the Lake District could change the way farming has been carried out | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
for centuries, according to some The land is common land | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
but the owners say they want some Peter farms land on common land your | :17:05. | :17:22. | |
Grasmere. He has a government grant, it needs renewing and Peter needs | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
the landowner to sign the form. In this case it is a trust, but they | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
have refused. Peter says that that is putting his livelihood at risk. | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
If the money is not there then we will not know the impact until it is | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
too late and it is not in our bank account and we are thinking, well | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
how are we going to pay this bill and that bill? To farmers use this | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
common land, the grant would give them extra land. It helps them to | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
maintain things like dry stone walls and natural habitats. One third of | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
farmland in the Lake District is common land. Farmers produce a huge | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
range of benefits for society, some of those we pay for, such as lamb | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
when we go to the supermarket, the other is landscape. The Lake | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
District is the most visited area after London. People do not have to | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
pay an entrance fee to come here. Instead the farmers are awarded | :18:25. | :18:32. | |
three schemes. The landowners say that they want some control over how | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
the area is maintained and believe that the farmers could apply for a | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
different grants which would mean that they are not out of pocket. We | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
have taken a management over of the Commons back from the National Trust | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
because the landowner effectively once an active management role in | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
the Commons. The Trust owns for other areas of common land in the | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
Lake District, all sides hope that they can come to an agreement soon. | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
Preston North End hope to book their place at Wembley tonight when they | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
visit Rotherham United in their League One playoff second leg. | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
Simon Grayson's side were held to a 1`1 draw in the home leg | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
at Deepdale last Saturday and are looking to break | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
their record of eight consecutive unsuccessful playoff campaigns. | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
There's full match commentary on BBC Radio Lancashire from 7.45pm. | :19:15. | :19:22. | |
He's the second fastest man in the world behind the legendary | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
Usain Bolt, but today he was giving some North West youngsters | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
Yohan Blake is the star turn at this weekend's | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
BT Great City Games in Manchester where he'll run the 150m sprint. | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
Today though, the man they call The Beast was passing | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
on some tips to the next generation, and to our man Richard Askam. | :19:40. | :19:51. | |
He is the youngest ever 100 metre world champion. At that distance, | :19:52. | :20:00. | |
and a 200 metres, only Usain Bolt has run faster. Yohan Blake has his | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
own distinctive celebration. Wouldn't that celebration come from? | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
I was watching a Michael Jackson video. Thriller. I said that I had | :20:10. | :20:22. | |
to do the Thriller. At the Rhino scowls, just smiles, when he made | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
his surprise appearance at the school in Manchester. Yohan Blake | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
treated the youngsters to some special training, a question and | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
answer session. The mac what is like to be one of the fastest evil in the | :20:36. | :20:43. | |
world? And for one pupil, a very special gift. His treasured cap. It | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
was very exciting, I was happy to meet him. What will you do with that | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
hat? Keep it for ever. This school is renamed for athletics, this | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
14`year`old is a national champion. He has been a good inspiration. Now | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
I know how he felt at this age. We have both gone through the same | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
thing and I hope that I can turn into him, or even better. I am | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
feeling good, I cannot wait for Saturday. The injury is pained me. I | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
am just looking forward to the future. Hopefully everything will go | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
to plan `` the injury is the hind me. | :21:27. | :21:42. | |
The line`up for this year?s Liverpool International Music | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
Festival has been announced. Stars from Boy George to Kid Creole and | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
Ian Broudie from the Lightening Seeds will be taking part. There | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
will be around 180 acts performing at venues across the city in August, | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
with more big names to be announced. These are striking photographs. But | :21:55. | :22:24. | |
Rankin's new exhibition has just opened in Lancashire. | :22:25. | :22:33. | |
First of all, I thought, I want to die. Three years ago Leslie was | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
diagnosed with breast cancer. Once the chemotherapy started to affect | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
her appearance the mother of two from Bolton was determined to leave | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
a lasting and beautiful image for her kids to remember her by. And so | :22:46. | :22:53. | |
she was overjoyed when Rankin asked to foot graph. It has made me feel | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
beautiful. So many people, when they get cancer and they lose their here, | :23:00. | :23:10. | |
they think they look terrible. But it can be a good time, you can try | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
things out. Her photograph is just one of 20 four trips up on shore. | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
Paper trade me as me at my best, but that is how I have got through it. | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
Even when my hand has been shaking because I have been in so much pain, | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
I have still tried to get my eyeliner on, because I have thought, | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
I am not walking out there like a victim. The exhibition follows | :23:37. | :23:46. | |
people living with terminal illness. When you work in a hospice like I do | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
every day, you see people who are facing the end of their life with | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
character and fortitude and strength. Rankin has captured the | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
essence of what I see every day in the hospice with his foot graphs. | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
The exhibition is on until Saturday Peter | :24:04. | :24:11. | |
. The power is in me. They are such striking images. | :24:12. | :24:35. | |
Very nice exhibition. I spent most of the day learning how to put on | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
false eyelashes. Good evening. | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
It has been a decent day today, highs of 18 Celsius, but I can go | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
higher. The temperatures tomorrow should be something to write home | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
about. They should be in excess of 20 Celsius, but by the seaside day | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
she'd be a touch cooler. The UV levels tomorrow should be quite | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
high, so take care if you're outdoors. Some very light winds | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
around. As we head into the overnight period the clouds will | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
continue to clear away in places. Some mist and fog patches forming. | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
Temperatures still in double figures, but for tomorrow, just in | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
case we mist it, there should be a lot of clear skies. It is going to | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
be very warm from the word go. It will be a warm day with a lot of | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
sunshine. Very light winds indeed. Highs of 20 or 21 Celsius in the | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
South. Maybe not quite as warm as you can see across parts of Cumbria. | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
Just 15 or 16 Celsius, but it will be a nice day with glorious | :25:44. | :25:45. | |
sunshine, hopefully wall`to`wall sunshine by the afternoon. These are | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
the temperatures expected for Saturday. In Greater Manchester we | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
should see highs of 22 Celsius. It will be a touch cooler elsewhere. | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
Just 14 or 14 Celsius on the Isle of Man, but I still think it should be | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
a lovely weekend. Rhododendrons are beautiful at this | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
time of year. Not quite as colourful as your dress. | :26:10. | :26:22. | |
See you tomorrow. Goodbye. at the European elections | :26:23. | :26:54. | |
on May the 22nd. even though that would wreck | :26:55. | :27:06. | |
the recovery and destroy jobs. | :27:07. | :27:11. |
