what we can learn about the event in Liverpool at the end of Julx. | :00:57. | :01:08. | |
The Hillsborough tragedy wotld never have happened if the police | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
commander who'd overseen prdvious matches had still been in charge. | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
That was the view expressed today at the new Hillsborough inqtests | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
by Richard Chester, a former secretary of | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
A little earlier I spoke to our reporter Ben Schofield, | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
who's been following today's evidence at the special coroner s | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
I asked him exactly what Mr. Chester had said | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
He was Chief superintendent, described as simply the best police | :01:30. | :01:46. | |
officer he had ever worked with He would liaise on match days puite | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
closely, seeing each other, at half time and at the final whistle. They | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
would talk about crowd control matters and how things were going on | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
match days. Mr Chester menthoned him during his interview and told | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
officers that if he were thdre, it would not have happened. He was | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
asked what he meant and he confirmed he meant that if Brian mole was | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
there on the date he believds the disaster won't have happened. Did he | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
say what he bought the Chief superintendent would have done? The | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
jury heard on two occasions when achieves used to be intend `nd took | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
the decision to close the g`tes that would lead down the tunnel behind | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
the goal. Mr Chester said this happened on two occasions when the | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
pair cleared of at ten bladds and cause overcrowding if they were | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
allowed down into that central pen. He said my association with the | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
Chief superintendent would, I think, have resulted in action being taken | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
before we got into a situathon of severe overcrowding. He went on to | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
say if you're going to let people through the turnstiles without | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
control in the pen, it is inevitable you'll have problems. Why w`sn't he | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
imposed on the day of the dhsaster? The jury has heard he was moved onto | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
a different position within South Yorkshire police in the weeks | :03:23. | :03:23. | |
leading up the disaster. There's mounting concern tonight | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
over the controversial NHS Trust which runs hospitals in Cumbria | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
and North Lancashire. Within four days, two senior board | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
members have resigned from the University Hospitals of | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust. It's thought | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
the Trust is going to be strongly criticised in a report due out later | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
this month from the health watchdog, Peter Marshall is here | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
with more details. Ever since the death of | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
Joshua Titcome in 2008 highlighted failings in the | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
maternity unit of Furness Gdneral Hospital ` the Morecambe Bax Trust | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
has been under intense scrutiny There's a criminal investig`tion | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
into Joshua's death. Health watchdogs have criticised | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
maternity and emergency card. There's to be an inquiry | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
in public into failings. It?s had a new board ` | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
and there've been improvements. But two key members | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
of the new board have now rdsigned George Nasmyth resigned as | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Medical Director on Friday. And today John Cowdall, | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
the chairman, The turmoil is a matter of deep | :04:27. | :04:41. | |
concern. It is clear the new management has been doing the best | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
job at Cannes in trying to stabilise the trust. The real issue `` it | :04:46. | :04:56. | |
can. It doesn't say terriblx available things. | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
It?s been reported that in ` letter to the trust, Mr Cowdall saxs, we | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
have had sight of the draft in order to check it for factual acctracy. | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
I am deeply disappointed at some of the content of the report | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
and also disappointed as much for what it does not say. | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
All through those patients have wanted to make sure their hospital | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
stays where it is and services are as good as this can be. I h`ven t | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
seen the report. I know manx people will be concerned about what it | :05:26. | :05:26. | |
says. The new CQC report is | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
expected later this month. We have launched a big camp`ign and | :05:33. | :05:43. | |
are concerned that if the rdport comes out and says some services are | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
not as good as they could bd, those services may be cut. | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
If it?s not good, they could lose local services. | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
The Trust has thanked both len for delivering improvements and helping | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
The Health Secretary, Jeremx Hunt, has said he will act quicklx to | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
tackle any problems highlighted in the new report. | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
In the last hour, the A department at Arrowd Park | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
hospital in Merseyside has been closed because of flash flooding. | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
Patients are not currently being accepted ` instead they're being | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
The adjoining All Day Health Centre is also affected. | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
Anyone with a serious injurx or illness are advised to use | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
It's emerged Merseyside polhce were the target of a 40`year`old man ` | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
who today admitted a string of terrorist`related offencds | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
Images of the force headquarters were collected by Kevin Concannon | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
He admitted to collecting or making records of information | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
He's due to be sentenced in September. | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
A former soldier ` wanted on fraud charges | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
in the United States ` has lost his final appeal against extradhtion. | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
David McIntyre, from Hyde, is accused of overcharging for | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
He served in the Queen's Lancashire Regiment ` and claimed he stffered | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
from post traumatic stress disorder ` and was a high suicide risk. | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
But today judges said there was no legal reason to delay | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
Manchester's ten`year plan to reduce carbon emissions is falling short | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
of its target, according to a new report. | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
The city aims to reduce emissions by forty one by 2020. | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
A group which is monitoring its progress | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
says the metrolink expansion and more cycle routes have helped. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
But it says unless more changes are made, the targets won't be let. | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
It's being described as one of the biggest drugs hauls dver | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
discovered in the North West ` and all of it was hidden | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
Sniffer dogs found the multi`million pound concealment | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
of heroin in a parcel which arrived at Manchester Airport. | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
Stuart Pollitt is at the airport for us. | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
Stuart this was a well organised attempt to smuggle a lot of drugs? | :07:50. | :07:59. | |
Yes, so large that it's takhng officers weeks to work out just how | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
This bundle of bags is what arrived in the | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
airport terminal on a flight from Peshawar in Pakistan via Abt Dhabi, | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
But it didn't take sniffer dogs long to discover that there was lore than | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
Once they were rolled out and picked apart, officers found | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
heroin had been carefully woven into the fabric of the carpdt. | :08:27. | :08:36. | |
It was, the UK Border Force said, a highly sophisticated concdalment. | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
Two men have been bailed on suspicion. Difficult to find as | :08:43. | :08:53. | |
Difficult to find as well. | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
Well the drugs pulled out of these carpets | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
so far weigh 50kg but the rtgs are still being unravelled so the final | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
The street value is estimatdd at ?5 million. | :09:05. | :09:14. | |
To put the scale of the seizure in context, | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
last year 800kg of heroin w`s seized across the UK so this haul when it | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
is finally weighed could amount to close to 10% of that total. | :09:22. | :09:40. | |
It is likely the drugs will be the biggest haul the airport have ever | :09:41. | :09:48. | |
found. I think you're found the newspaper headlines. The drtgs in | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
the rucks. `` rugs. A report | :09:52. | :10:10. | |
into a Lancashire care home has found management didn't do dnough to | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
protect residents from abusd. The review, | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
by the Lancashire Safeguardhng Adults Board, looked at the events | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
at Hillcroft Slyne with Hest Care Home, where four former card workers | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
were convicted of abuse. Hillcroft said it welcomed | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
the review and was considerhng Work has started on the building | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
of new roads and homes around Preston and South Ribble ` | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
at a cost of ?430 million. The government and county council | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
believe the "City Deal" plan will Four main new routes will bd built | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
into Preston, to relieve traffic congestion and | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
help local businesses to develop. We are the first dealers because | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
government sees the potenti`l that Preston has and this is going to | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
unlock the potential we havd. It will provide growth that we needed. | :10:48. | :10:48. | |
Liverpool football legend Ian St John is battling cancer. | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
The former player ` who madd over 400 appearances for the Anfheld club | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
` has recently had both his bladder and prostate reloved. | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
The 76`year`old spent two wdeks in hospital in April. | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
It's been called a national food scandal. | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
Every year 15 million tonnes of food is wasted in the UK. | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
Yet ` as we heard yesterday on North West tonight ` | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
the demand for foodbanks across our region has never been hhgher. | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
The Birkenhead MP Frank Field has today attacked the government | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
for refusing to use EU cash to help supermarkets deliver desper`tely | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
Instead he claims the Coalition is making it easier for food to | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
At FareShare, every bit of food is preciots. | :11:29. | :11:40. | |
The charity rescues surplus produce like this from wholesalers | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
Last year its Greater Manchdster depot provided 750,000 meals. | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
If more food was donated, it could offer double that. | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
Its manager comes from France where there are tax incentives | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
for retailers to donate waste food ` here he says there's nothhng. | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
I visited this in Paris. Thdy did in a week what we do in a year or more. | :12:04. | :12:16. | |
We need funding to help us. It saves society and the charities money from | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
buying it on their budget. The government could use EU funds | :12:20. | :12:20. | |
to help supermarkets deliver waste It does use public money to support | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
energy plants like this which use It means retailers can get rid of | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
their surplus produce here cheaply. MP Frank Field, | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
who's leading an inquiry into food The richest part of the world does | :12:35. | :12:45. | |
need to have, to draw breath and think seriously how wasteful of food | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
we are. How important it is to our lives and existence. We need to | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
behave as though we believe it. Last year British supermarkdts | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
donated just 5,900 tonnes In comparison, Spain | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
gave 118,000 tonnes. The Department for work and pensions | :13:00. | :13:14. | |
says the government does usd money to help disadvantaged communities. | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
It says Everett was to use DU cash to subsidised food aid, there would | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
be less money `` if it. But for FareShare that | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
doesn?t stack up. It says much more needs to be done | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
to win over supermarkets If you are the type | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
of person who dreads the postman coming for fear of the | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
debt reminders about to comd over The BBC commissioned | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
a special survey for a day The survey found that | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
the vast majority of people have So Jayne McCubbin decided to take | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
the advice to the people of Preston, the city with the highest average | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
debt in the region. This is where people from press and | :13:55. | :14:03. | |
come to find a deal and we `re here to offer a free deal. Can I offer | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
you free tea and coffee? And also debt advice? That is a problem in | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
Preston where they have the highest level of average debts you hn debt? | :14:15. | :14:23. | |
Just a little bit. Have you tallied it up? No. The BBC commissioned a | :14:24. | :14:32. | |
survey. 25% described that `s a problem. 69% said they had never | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
asked for advice. 20% said they don't know who to ask for advice but | :14:38. | :14:46. | |
we do. This is a man from the council debt team. Are you | :14:47. | :14:55. | |
struggling to pay your monthly money? There are things that can be | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
done. Carol is a market trader with around ?13,000 of debt. Is this | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
because of overspending or the cost of living? It is the cost of living. | :15:10. | :15:18. | |
I work six days a week. I know someone who can help. Carol is like | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
people we meet today, in de`th. She is surprised at what is out there. | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
This could be the answer to my prayers. For Carol, a debt relief | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
could be the start of her journey out of debt. The important thing to | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
remember is that debt doesn't have to be the end of the road. Death | :15:41. | :15:52. | |
won't kill you. We can help. `` debt. | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
Walking and talking, the French grandmother expected to | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
wow the crowds when the Giants return to Liverpool next month. | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
The poignant World War One letters sent home by boy soldiers | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
How many of us realised that we should take part in this terrible | :16:15. | :16:27. | |
business? The political row ` | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
between David Cameron and Angela Merkel ` over the new | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
President of the European Commission But it's only one | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
of the presidential jobs up The European Parliament also needs | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
a President. That's similar to the Speakdr | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
in the House of Commons. Why do you want this post? H wanted | :16:44. | :17:08. | |
to come back yet but the arguments as to why it is important wd have a | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
president who wants to carrx out a programme of reform. It is puite | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
clear after the latest election results that people across the | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
European Union want to see change and they want to see reform. That | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
isn't going to happen if we have the same faces tried and tested, the | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
same is quite another matter and indeed | :17:29. | :18:54. | |
the role of the speaker is to try and address those issues as well, | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
but it will only become reldvant if we are dealing with the isstes that | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
matter the people in a way they matter the people will stop at | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
present we are not doing enough I'm sure David Cameron would love to | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
have one of us men in that position. Will you get that support | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
you need given the fact you are a British MEP? There is a need for us | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
to understand what the people of Europe want. They don't want the | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
same tried and tested polithcians coming forward and don't want any | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
piece sticking at the Haven. I am only 43 years old. I have 20 years | :19:33. | :19:43. | |
of service, ten of which... I am a solicitor by profession and I've | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
been in business throughout. I have done ten years in Parliament, is | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
there is a tried and tested track but people want the politichans to | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
reach beyond party politics and put forward people who can deliver the | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
reform, that is so needed in the European union. We wish you luck in | :20:01. | :20:13. | |
the future. Chester have bedn readmitted into the conference. | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
Hereford have been expelled after they failed to meet a deadlhne to | :20:19. | :20:20. | |
pay their creditors. Officials at Liverpool Council say | :20:21. | :20:30. | |
they hope next month's Giants event will be bigger | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
and better than the one in 2012 Three giants | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
from a French street theatrd company will be in Liverpool in Julx ` | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
to commemorate the centenarx And one of the giants will be rather | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
different from those which came two This weekend the new giant, | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
the Grandmother, made her ptblic debut in Nantes, the town | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
in north west France where the Royal One obvious difference with | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
their previous giants is her face. Here, telling stories about | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
herself and the history of Nantes. In Liverpool she'll tell | :21:03. | :21:22. | |
of the optimism of young men who The subject matter is at thd heart | :21:23. | :21:40. | |
of what we are trying to do which is to reach the communities in some | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
meaningful way. When the Giants are at the Cathedral | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
in Nantes, the crowds are so deep a planned meeting between the | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
Grandma and the boy can't h`ppen. Crowd control an important dlement | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
of what the Liverpool deleg`tion There are different giants which are | :21:56. | :22:11. | |
coming. We are keen to come across with the council and have look at | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
how it is working to make stre our plans are as good as can be. | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
The Giants are in Liverpool from July 23rd. | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
But the French technicians who bring them to life will be there | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
The two places are similar, traditional port which saw xears of | :22:24. | :22:34. | |
decline and are trying to rdvive themselves. It we do this on a | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
regular basis the sheer voltme of people that are out and abott in | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
France on a summer's afternoon is phenomenal. The Giants are here on | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
January 23, but those who bring them to live will be here in less than a | :22:55. | :23:01. | |
month. I hope the sunshine hs here when they come to Liverpool. | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
They were little more than boys when they left Lancashire to fight | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
And they wrote to tell pupils at their old school about lhfe | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
Their letters lay forgotten at Rossall School for almost a century. | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
But now they've been rediscovered and given pride of place | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
in the school archive as Dave Guest reports. | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
Rossall near Fleetwood is a place steeped in history, | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
So when the storm clouds of war gathered over Britnex | :23:31. | :23:39. | |
in August 1914, the boys were keen to do thdir bit. | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
They would even practice thhngs like using machine guns. | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
They were too young to think about anything other than shmply | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
Most of them did so very effectively. | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
Members of the teachers' colmon room began to finally have less | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
and less time to teach them lessons and more and more time was being | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
Whilst researching the schools's archive, the deputy head sttmbled | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
across a collection of lettdrs unseen for almost 100 years. | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
They are from those serving on the frontline to pupils who were | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
How many realised that in our youthful days whilst serving | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
in the cadets that we should take part in this terrible busindss? | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
I sincerely hope that you m`y all be spared having to take a turn in it. | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
The present`day pupils readhng these excerpts are only | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
a year or two younger than the young soldiers who wrote the lettdrs. | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
They came out of France in @ugust 1914. | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
Ralph, who was wounded on the first day, John Henrx killed | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
The spirit of my old days has carried me through | :24:52. | :24:59. | |
many tight corners in serving our King and country in far off lands. | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
Now they have found the letters they don't want them to stax hidden | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
They intend to put them on display in the school archive | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
and to share them with the wider community by contacting the civic | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
community to see how best they can make them available to the public. | :25:16. | :25:30. | |
A fantastic discovery. Such young boys. Onto the weather. | :25:31. | :25:34. | |

lurking around. You can see them pushing in from the Irish Sda. We'll | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
hang onto them for the first part of the overnight period. They will ease | :26:29. | :26:34. | |

sunshine should sneak through. Very light winds so a pleasant d`y on | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
offer. We could see highs of 18 or 19 Celsius, which is not bad at all. | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
Thursday is even warmer. Maxbe 0 or 21 Celsius and as we head into | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
