08/02/2014 North West Today

Hello, good afternoon. A former greater Manchester police officer

who use the little car to try and buy heroin is beginning a 14 month

jail sentence. Robert Carroll pleaded guilty to misconduct in

public office and theft. He gave a police issue back on to a dealer in

exchange for drugs and claimed it was through carrying out test

purchases for police that he became addicted to heroin. It has been

revealed that the Independent police complaints commission was asked 18

months ago to examine how greater Manchester police dealt with an

investigation into allegations of rape involving a woman who fell to

her death earlier this week. 41`year`old Tracey Shelby fell from

the Wheatsheaf shopping centre after learning that the man she had

accused of rape had been cleared. A protest march is taking place

today after plans have been opposed to 400 new homes on the edge of the

Peak District. The council consultation on building new homes

in the area is due end on Monday. Police have issued a warning about

illegal drugs that they believe are being sold in Blackburn. The people

buying these pills believe they are buying bends with the eyes gleam,

which is a prescription drug used to treat a variety of medical

conditions. A new exhibition on the Isle of Man

is highlighting stories from the Max community as part of the events to

mark the entry of World War I. This terrible ordeal opens today at the

magnesium in Douglas and has been the commendation of years of

research. It is fair to say that the impact on the Isle of Man has been

greater than other parts of the UK, the Irish Sea around the island was

a horde of German U`boat, ships were being sunk and the island was used

as a centre for internment and 25,000 Germans, Austrians and Turks

were interned in the camp Yearwood had a huge impact on island life. In

football and Liverpool have just kicked off in the Premier league

against Arsenal but it is all going to plan an ex`Anfield. Liverpool are

4`0 up. Manchester City are at Norwich this afternoon and their

manager is looking for a response after their midweek defeat to

Chelsea. It was a very difficult game. It is very important to react

after the defeat. At home we played against a good team, a team that

tried to play so we hope that we can win again. Super league return

classmate, not a great start for Wigan. Were beaten by the

Huddersfield Giants by 24 points to eight points. FIFA the weather.

The wind is a key feature of the weather along with showers. We have

been trying to work your way in from the West this morning, clouds

thickening ahead of it. It the afternoon plenty of showers around,

some of merging together to form longer spells of rain and it could

turn went today in the Pennines Gusts potentially up to 60 mils per

hour, temperatures are relevant with the wind and rain, looking at house

of M seven degrees. More showers to come, but they will blow through

quickly on the blustery wind. Something went to the over the

higher ground once again. Overnight lows of around 45 degrees.

Tomorrow, still plenty of showers around, the wind will ease a little
