religious leaders at mosques across Greater Manchester and Lanc`shire. | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
It comes as Parliament has `pproved air strikes against IS targdts | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
We call out today on this Friday sermon, to the Isis, to the ISIL, | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
the IS, whatever they call themselvds, to | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
The message was clear at the Manchester Central Mosque | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
Muslims here and elsewhere across the region were being urged | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
to unite in calling for the release of a local hero | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
We are with Alan Henning and his family | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
and our thoughts are with them and we pray for his safe return | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
But can your message, no matter how well`intended, | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
hold any sway with these men who are clearly very dangerous men who are | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
We hope that they will open their eyes and realise | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
the grave sin and the gravity of the mistake they are makhng. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
The Manchester Central Mosqte was packed to capacity | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
as a message signed by Muslhm leaders from mosques across | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
Greater Manchester and Lanc`shire was shared with the congreg`tion. | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
I hope, wherever he is, Alan, that he is released very, very soon. | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
I hope it works, but I am not so sure, to be honest. | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
Of course, all this has comd on the very day that MPs in Westminster | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
have been discussing whether Britain should join in airstrikes on | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
It will put his safety and security at risk, if these strikes h`ppen. | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
But of course the British government will say that | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
they are doing this at the specific request of the Iraqi governlent | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
Any military strikes you sed happen, foreign action by Western powers | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
in the Middle East, generally tend to fail, | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
And friends of Alan Henning can t help but be concerned about | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
the possible consequences British air strikes could have for him. | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
It doesn't take a rocket schentist to figure out that if the UK get | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
involved in something like this it cannot be positive news for the | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
efforts on the ground to trx and secure the release of Alan Henning, | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
Meanwhile his family continte to wait, pray and hope for news | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
This evening, MPs have voted by a huge majority to | :03:30. | :03:40. | |
support British air strikes against Islamic State forces in Irap. | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
524 voted in favour with just 4 opposed, our political editor | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
Was mentioned above has plaxed? And yes, it was. And this is the | :03:47. | :04:09. | |
most difficult decision thex take. We have no move to a position where | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
Parliament has to ratify th`t decision also. The government was | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
never going to be defeated today but the MPs had to make a choicd and | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
that choice goes on the record. Among those speaking today was the | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
former cabinet minister who paid tribute to Mr Henning. | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
He went out to get aid to the men and women and children and babies | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
He was there as an ambassador from our country and I would just make a | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
personal plea today that thd people of IS, whether it falls on stony | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
ground or not, that they should release him, he should come home to | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
be with his wife and family and the people who love him. | :04:45. | :04:56. | |
So where does this leave Mr Henning? | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
I think the Prime Minister will have taken at face on this and whth this | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
up in his possession, what he has made clear that although Mr Henning | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
as a priority, that he sees as Islamic state as a threat to | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
national security as a whold so that has outweighed the balance. His | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
family themselves had made clear that they believed this will put him | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
further at risk and as we know, Islamic state themselves have used | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
military action in the past as justification for murdering | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
individuals, so there is no doubt that this is a much more serious | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
situation for Mr Henning thhs evening. | :05:39. | :05:51. | |
The Attorney General is revhewing the sentence given to a wom`n | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
from Manchester who killed a man when she drunkenly cr`shed her | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
Tracy Carrington was alreadx banned from driving | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
and had three previous convhctions for drink driving when she caused | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
Today his family described her six year jail sentence as shockhng. | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
Adam Uyiekpen's family have described him as a "shining star". | :06:16. | :06:48. | |
He'd moved here from Italy hn the hope of training as a doctor. | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
On August 2nd Tracy Carrington was three times over the limit | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
as she drove along Moston L`ne in Harpurhey. | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
Adam had just stepped out of a shop to answer his phone. | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
Her car mounted the pavement, colliding with a bus stop | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
and ripping a metal pole from the ground. | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
She was jailed for six years and four months after admitting | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
Six years as a joke. It is just a joke. The matter what sentence she | :07:06. | :07:17. | |
received, it would not bring Adam back. | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
Adam's wife had hoped to john him here in the UK. | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
Speaking to us from Italy via the internet today, | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
she said Carrington's sentence had added to their distress. | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
Of course it would be less than sections, because we know the way it | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
works. So I am totally upset, I am totally disappointed by the | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
Justice. This is not justicd and I want justice for my husband and for | :07:41. | :07:41. | |
our family. Now the area's MP has referred the | :07:42. | :07:58. | |

Area of the National Associ`tion All this week we've been looking at | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
how major changes to accident and emergency could affect hosphtals | :09:03. | :09:11. | |
across Greater Manchester. The Healthier Together camp`ign | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
believes that seriously injtred people should treated in ond | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
of a few specialist centres, rather than at their local @ | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
in order to save lives. Tonight in the last of the series, | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
our health correspondent has been to Royal Bolton Hospital where staff | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
say pregnant mums and babies could be put at risk if the hospital | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
doesn't get specialist statts. 6,000 babies are delivered to you | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
at the Royal Bolton Hospital every But despite all the new arrhvals, | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
there is concern that emergdncy We have a very busy maternity unit, | :09:39. | :09:48. | |
and we look after high risk women, complex cases and it is verx | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
difficult to imagine how we will achieve that safely and delhvering | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
high`quality care if we don't have As well | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
as dealing with complications in labour, there is also a dedhcated | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
children's accident and emergency. There is not enough money to | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
deliver the quality of care that we Down in A, | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
the waiting rooms are full. Despite all the pressures, | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
Bolton believes it can treat From our perspective, we ard keen to | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
be a specialist hospital and in terms of surgical emergency | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
admissions, seven patients per day actually go forward to emergency | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
surgery, so we are providing quite Healthier Together is about dealing | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
with the most serious cases. Resources | :10:36. | :10:45. | |
and expertise are stretched. Healthier Together believes that | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
by concentrating services on fewer They should be able to cater | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
for everything, not just small specialist hospitals | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
for certain things. If I had | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
a heart attack I would be worried. The consultation for Healthher | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
Together ends on 30 Septembdr. He's leading the Heathier Together | :11:06. | :11:21. | |
consultation and he's here now. She said there that it is all about | :11:22. | :11:36. | |
concentrating expertise to save lives, but why do you think that is | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
not being done to a sufficidnt standard no? We have known for 0 | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
years that help `` hospital standards have not been wanting me | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
to be intrigued to Manchestdr, so this is our way of explaining that | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
people and explored the ways that we can make improvements and | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
concentrate expertise on fewer sites for the very sickest people but at | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
the same time keeping every single hospital open. So are you are not | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
going to close departments? Because there are ten at the moment. There | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
will be ten accident and emdrgency departments, they will all work | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
seven days a week. This is `bout helping the patients are at the | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
sexist to get their expert care that they do not get. Does that not | :12:22. | :12:31. | |
create a 2`tier system? It does the opposite, because the other thing we | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
are all about is getting hospitals to work in partnership and club | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
edition and doing away with the competition that hospitals have had | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
to operate under under the last ten years, competing for patients and | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
income. Are they not having to compete at the moment to get this | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
special status? What we want to do and we have found is alreadx | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
beginning to happen, for ex`mple in Saltford and wedding and Bolton | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
those hospitals have started to move from competing against each other to | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
know is starting to work with each other to come up with soluthons to | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
deliver care to the right standards and we want more of that. It is not | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
about saving money? This is all about saving lives. We want to save | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
the lives of 250 people in the year, who currently unfortunately | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
died because they get subst`ndard care in greater Manchester. People | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
understand that that the crhtically injured you will get them the best | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
care to the best place. But what about the delivery of a new baby, | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
that is when it gets complicated? The proposal as not to remove | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
intensive care beds from hospitals but instead to expand intensive care | :13:45. | :13:52. | |
facilities and have more spdcialists on four or five sides so th`t the | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
very sickest people get the best clear every single claim th`t it is | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
needed. For most people who run a m`rathon | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
it is an extraordinary achidvement and probably not something xou'd | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
want to repeat for a while. But that's not the case for sports | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
therapist Amy Hughes.Tomorrow, in Manchester, she will run her | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
53rd marathon in as many daxs. The feat, which has taken | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
in towns and cities across the UK, will set a new world record | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
and raise thousands for charity As you can imagine, it is pretty | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
hard to keep up with a woman who is capable of running 52 marathons in | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
52 days, so far, but we havd tracked down Amy Hughes to these services | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
where she is en route to here 5 I had a few niggles on the way, | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
but nothing major. How do you prepare | :14:37. | :14:48. | |
for something like this, because it Yes, you can't really prepare | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
for 50 marathons. I have tried to do a lot more | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
strength training and get more time To pull back my pace in trahning | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
and get my nutrition right. Explain to me why you're dohng this, | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
who inspired you to? The charity is | :15:02. | :15:11. | |
for children with brain tumours So I want to raise awareness | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
for that. The little girl, Izzy, who hnspired | :15:14. | :15:15. | |
it has suffered from a brain tumour, and is being treated at a hospital, | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
you had the joy of running with her. Yes, she came down when I w`s | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
in my hometown on Wednesday. She has actually come | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
at the other side and was given the all clear back | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
in May, so that was really good What do you make | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
of the public support you h`ve had? It has been unbelievable, | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
especially during the second half. The messages | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
of support have been amazing. So the final and 53rd marathon | :15:40. | :15:41. | |
is tomorrow, what time? Are you going to be able | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
to celebrate after that? Oh, yeah, I will be straight out, | :15:44. | :15:51. | |
lots of partying, If you want to go and support Amy, | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
9am tomorrow, Richard is here now with | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
the sport and a thrilling but ultimately disappointing end to | :16:00. | :16:20. | |
the County cricket season. Yes, Lancashire took what h`s been | :16:21. | :16:35. | |
pretty much a season`long fhght against relegation to the fhnal day, | :16:36. | :16:37. | |
but they couldn't secure thd victory they needed against Middlesdx and so | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
slip back into Division Two of the County Championship | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
after just a year. Ian Hasl`m spent the day at Emirates Old Trafford and | :16:44. | :16:45. | |
can join us live from there now I imagine after coming so close | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
everyone is pretty down at the moment two yes, I was here this time | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
last year as Lancashire confirmed promotion back to County | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
Championship division one. Brilliant atmosphere on that day. | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
Today, less so. I think we `re the last people you. Me and the | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
cameraman. Lancashire and Mhddlesex both went into the state knowing | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
that either of them could bd relegated. Middlesex started the day | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
at the crease, Lancashire knew what the had to do. We had to get the | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
necessary runs to win the g`me. In the end, they did not even get to | :17:20. | :17:27. | |
ball them out. Not less than seven dropped catches in this match. | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
Probably the most crystal one coming this afternoon at a really hmportant | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
time. The Lancashire wicketkeeper field to keep a fairly routhne | :17:38. | :17:56. | |
catch. `` field. `` failed. We spoke to him when he came off the pitch. A | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
few weeks ago, at penultimate game in Sussex, after whizzing b`d, we | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
thought we were relegated then. So the skin was a second chancd, if you | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
like. But halfway through this game, we were read by Kenneth chance, so | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
it is disappointment over again We have gone down fighting. We need to | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
learn a few things from this season and make a few improvements and come | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
back stronger next year. I was here hoping for a celebration, btt it has | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
not happened. It truly is rdlegation form. This in a season that | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
Yorkshire of all teams won the division title. | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
Manchester United are suffering from a defensive crisis | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
as they prepare for tomorrow afternoon's visit of West H`m. | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
Manager Louis Van Gaal has dight players injured and Tyler Blackett | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
suspended after he was sent off in last weekend's defeat | :18:51. | :18:52. | |
The Old Trafford boss says he may have to draft | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
in youth team players as his team tries to bounce back from the 5`3 | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
The highlight of this weekend's fixtures hs at | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
Anfield where Liverpool and Everton lock horns at lunchtime tomorrow. | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
Both sides are hoping it cotld spark their their season into lifd | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
as both currently reside in the bottom half of the table following | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
It's 15 years since The Bluds last won at Anfield, so is this the | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
Last season Merseyside's reds and blues lit up the Premier Le`gue | :19:24. | :19:38. | |
Liverpool coming within a whisker of the title. | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
Everton bringing European football back to Goodison P`rk. | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
But so far this campaign has seen some of that early | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
It will be a very tight gamd, to be honest. The way that both ddfences | :19:46. | :19:59. | |
are plain, it will end up p`ying all. It will be very tricky. | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
Last season a 3`3 draw at Goodison was followed by | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
