An Inquiry into the death of an unarmed man, shot by police, | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
has heard two of the officers failed a firearms course just weeks before. | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
E-mails also revealed concerns about how the officers | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Anthony Grainger died as he sat in a car in Cheshire in 2012. | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
Our Social Affairs Correspondent Clare Fallon reports. | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
Five years ago last week, in this car park, | :00:38. | :00:50. | |
an unarmed man was shot dead by police. | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
The firearms officers who came here that night | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
should have been highly trained, used to dealing with the most | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
Now, we have learned that two of them had failed | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
a training course in the weeks before. | :01:01. | :01:01. | |
One of them, only known as Z15 had made such serious safety | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
breaches on that training exercise, it could have ended his career as a | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
The other who failed, X7, was the most senior | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
firearms officer here when Anthony Grainger was shot dead, | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
effectively running the operation on the ground. | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
Having heard the details during today's hearing, | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
Anthony Grainger's parter told me that she finds these | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
How difficult is that for you to sit through and hear | :01:25. | :01:36. | |
We want to find out what really happened that night and why Anthony | :01:37. | :01:47. | |
Giving evidence today, Michael Lawler. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
He is now retired, but at the time, he was head of | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
firearms and heavily involved in planning the Greater Manchester | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
Police operation which ended in Anthony Grainger's death. | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
He told the enquiry that he didn't think the | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
police force knew that they had felt that course until after the event | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
and that he had destroyed a book containing some of his notes about | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
the operation when he left the police force. | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
The enquiry is still to hear from the police | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
The public hearing is scheduled to last several more weeks. | :02:22. | :02:34. | |
Liverpool Crown Court heard an elderly woman fell | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
on to a railway track after a Merseyrail guard failed | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
to check all passengers had boarded safely | :02:41. | :02:41. | |
Martin Zee denies endangering passenger safety. | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
Edna Atherton was 88 when she fell from the platform, | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
suffering broken ribs and a cut head at Birkenhead's | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
Northern Rail says it'll only be able to operate 40% | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
of services next Monday, when the RMT union stages a one day | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
strike in protest at plans to introduce driver-only trains. | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
Police have bailed the 89-year-old driver, | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
who was arrested after two women were killed by a car | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
outside Withington Hospital in Manchester yesterday. | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
The man was questioned on suspicion of causing death | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
The women, both in their 40s, have not yet been named. | :03:18. | :03:27. | |
A woman from Morecambe has been told she can't have a drug | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
Last summer, Harriet North was diagnosed with a rare terminal | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
The treatment is almost completely effective, | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
but the NHS only offers it to patients diagnosed | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
Music means everything to Harriet North. | :03:41. | :03:49. | |
But due to her condition, playing guitar now means | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
I know that is going to flare-up within the next few days. | :03:52. | :04:00. | |
confirming she wouldn't be prescribed the drug, Anakinra, which | :04:01. | :04:11. | |
The following CCU criteria has not been met. | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
Just tell us how worrying a time this is for you. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
Especially with specialists saying that in ten years' time, I'm going | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
to get kidney failure, liver failure and my system | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
If I don't get the drug that I need, I won't be here in ten years. | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
A change in NHS rule means that he she can't have | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
Anakinra, even though as ?10,000 a year, | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
it is cost-effective and doctors say it is 95% effective | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
In March last year, NHS rules changed, meaning any | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
drug that is not approved by Nice can no longer be prescribed to new | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
To get Nice approval, a drug needs to be tested | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
Because there is only one in a million of us | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
and there is so little research on it, when they do find | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
in the research and find a drug that works, it is frustrating | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
that the NHS don't back that drug. | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
The worrying thing as a parent is going forward. | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
She mentions ten years, I think that is an outside hope. | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
The family say they have been overwhelmed by the support that | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
Harriet has received with friends offering to stage | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
We would struggle to fund it ourselves. | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
It would cost them a lot more to keep them alive on dialysis, | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
They are now hoping that NHS England will overturned the decision to | :05:28. | :05:37. | |
Harriet's MP David Morris is supporting her challenge | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
My office has been dealing with Harriet's consultants and they have | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
said that she is the worst case out of 70 in the country. | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
NHS England deem her not fit to have this | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
drug and it is quite frankly not good enough and I am fighting this | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
When you meet with Jeremy Hunt next week, what are going to say? | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
I am going to enlist Secretary of State's help to | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
his neck out and make an exception in one individual case, isn't it? | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
That could for him open the floodgates. | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
At the end of the day, the criteria is there. | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
This drug is available to those who really need it. | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
Are you optimistic you will get this turned around for her? | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
I never promise anybody anything, but one thing I do promise | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
and one thing I will always deliver is a good fight and I normally get | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
This week, we've been examining air pollution, | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
which affects many of us in the North West. | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
Our biggest cities, Manchester and Liverpool, | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
are both considering bans on the vehicles which | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
it's believed cause most of our air pollution. | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
In Europe, some places have been able to reduce vehicle emissions. | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
And our Environment Correspondent Judy Hobson has been to see | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
Zurich, Switzerland's largest city, and a similar size to Manchester. | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
It welcomes shoppers, bankers and tourists, but not cars. | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
Parking places are scarce and expensive. | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
It's a deliberate policy to cut air pollution. | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
leave your car at home, otherwise you are a bad citizen. | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
No, if you want to take your car, you can. | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
But we say we have another option that is really good. | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
By that, he means cheap and efficient public transport. | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
By law, every city centre resident has to live within 500 metres | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
Half the urban population don't own a car. | :07:44. | :07:54. | |
This square used to be full of parking places. | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
Now cars are banned and its measures like this that have | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
helped dissuade people from bringing their vehicles | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
A two hour train ride away is Freigburg in Germany, | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
The most popular way to commute is by bicycle. | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
One area has been built and designed for people not to need cars. | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
This is the district of Vauban, a sustainable area. | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
You can have a car, but you have to pay 18,000 euros just | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
All the shops are nearby, so day-to-day life is not very | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
In summer, you see all the streets are in the | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
street and they are playing together. | :08:39. | :08:39. | |
I would have loved to live here as a kid. | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
Like Zurich, it's an efficient public transport system which has | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
helped make a difference, but also careful town planning. | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
We don't have big shops at the border of the city, | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
where you can buy milk and a television. | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
We have shops in every residential area so you can | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
Even here, more needs to be done to further reduce emissions, | :09:02. | :09:10. | |
but Freigburg and Zurich show how urban air pollution can be reduced. | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
It shows policies in places like Manchester | :09:16. | :09:16. | |
much further, if we're to have any chance of cleaning up | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
Football and Manchester City missed the chance to gain ground | :09:22. | :09:30. | |
on Chelsea at the top of the Premier League tonight. | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
They were held to a goalless draw by Stoke City at the Etihad Stadium. | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
Kelechi Iheanacho went close in stoppage time. | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
The point leaves City third, ten points off the pace | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
Good evening. We have our first taste of spring today. Temperatures | :09:44. | :09:55. | |
going into double figures and it was a beautiful end to the day. Our | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
weather watcher photos, some lovely daffodils and flowers blooming. | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
Through denied, most of us will have a dry night. There will be rain and | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
showers moving across Cumbria, Lancashire into the early hours of | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
Thursday morning. Breeze picking up a little bit. Temperatures no more | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
than seven or 8 degrees. Cloud around, that cloud quickly shifting | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
away and we are looking at some decent sunny spells going into | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
lunchtime and certainly into the afternoon, as well. Temperatures in | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
two double figures. Nine or ten, perhaps 11 or 12 Celsius. It feels | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
much like spring. Going into Friday, we have got a weather front throwing | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
in a bit of cloud and outbreaks of rain as we go throughout the day. | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
Still quite mild, temperatures in double figures, certainly cloudier | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
on Friday. With that, outbreaks of rain on and off throughout the day | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
particularly around the coast and over the hills. Temperatures again | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
getting up to about ten or 12 degrees. The weekend, mixed. | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
outlook, staying mild and Nick has the bigger picture across the UK. | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
Hello. Spring is in the air with temperatures reaching 14 or 15 in a | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
few spots today as they will again over the next few days. Very | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
pleasant in the sun. The daffodils were loving that in York. More | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
places under blue sky tomorrow and dry. Tonight heavy showers moving | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
across Scotland on strong to gale force winds, some may clip Northern | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
Ireland. It's a mild night in southern England and South Wales but | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
damp and drizzly, misty with coastal and hill fog elsewhere. Temperatures | :11:40. | :11:48. | |
in between and dry: This damp weather hangs on from parts of the | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
Channel Islands, to Cornwall. Elsewhere, it's getting brighter in | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
South Wales and southern England. In England, | :11:58. | :11:59. |
