:00:02. > :00:06.Good evening. Welcome to NorthWest Tonight with Gordon Burns and
:00:06. > :00:09.Ranvir Singh. Our top story: Relatives wait anxiously as
:00:09. > :00:19.Southern Cross looks to offload a hundred care homes across the North
:00:19. > :00:25.
:00:25. > :00:35.West. Should Dahomey broken up and the staff disbursed, the
:00:35. > :00:36.
:00:36. > :00:39.alternative available is almost non-existent. Who will take over
:00:39. > :00:47.the care of thousands of elderly people across the region? Also
:00:47. > :00:50.tonight: While Liverpool Erika said -- are considering building a new
:00:51. > :00:53.stadium even though that is more expensive than refurbishing the
:00:53. > :00:56.current one. Fighting back - the pioneering
:00:56. > :00:59.brain surgery that saved the life of a budding boxer. And the
:00:59. > :01:09.controversial superstar from the NBA who could soon be whipping up a
:01:09. > :01:11.Thousands of residents and staff are facing an uncertain future
:01:11. > :01:17.following the news that the UK's largest care home provider is
:01:17. > :01:21.closing down. Southern Cross looks after more
:01:22. > :01:28.than 30,000 people across the country. It has a hundred homes in
:01:28. > :01:31.this region. It says residents will be OK - but it's still a worrying
:01:31. > :01:36.time for them and their relatives as our chief reporter, Dave Guest,
:01:36. > :01:41.explains. Victor's wife Allana is cared for at a Southern Cross home
:01:41. > :01:44.in Southport. Allana has Alziemers and Victor says the care she's
:01:44. > :01:47.received at the home has been first class. That's why news of the
:01:47. > :01:52.demise of Southern Cross is such a worry to him. Should the Home be
:01:52. > :02:02.broken up in any way and the staff disbursed, the alternative
:02:02. > :02:16.
:02:16. > :02:20.available is almost non-existent. - - dispersed.
:02:20. > :02:23.Southern Cross was the biggest name in care homes. Today it announced
:02:23. > :02:31.it was a name destined to join others that have fallen victim to
:02:31. > :02:40.tough economic times. The company had struggled to pay the landlords
:02:40. > :02:43.who own its 750 homes across the UK. The Warrington North MP Helen Jones
:02:43. > :02:51.has a couple of Southern Cross homes on her patch, and she's
:02:51. > :02:57.concerned. My counsel, like all councils, has to find out which of
:02:57. > :03:01.these homes is likely to be taking over and run by other landlords and
:03:01. > :03:09.which will not. They also have to ensure that the quality of care is
:03:09. > :03:14.maintained. Hopefully news will come out in the next few weeks and
:03:14. > :03:18.months as homes find new providers. In the interim, those homes will
:03:18. > :03:28.stay open and running? That is our understanding. We are not aware of
:03:28. > :03:52.
:03:52. > :03:56.any closures in the north-west the fact remains that these... Well a
:03:56. > :03:58.short while ago I spoke to Lizzie Feltoe from Age UK and I asked her
:03:58. > :04:05.if the people affected should now feel reassured.
:04:05. > :04:11.There is still many residents must feel distressed and upset.
:04:11. > :04:15.Many of them are from were born frail. Can you assure us that their
:04:16. > :04:19.concerns will be put first here? That is what we are calling on
:04:19. > :04:23.local authorities to do. The primary responsibility must be to
:04:23. > :04:27.make sure that those care homes that need to close have the
:04:27. > :04:34.residents moved with a minimum of fuss and stress. We know these are
:04:34. > :04:42.very vulnerable older people and that moving can be stressful for
:04:42. > :04:46.them. Do they have any legal rights in this situation? We have been
:04:46. > :04:51.campaigning to raise aware of the fact that people in care homes have
:04:51. > :04:54.no security of tenure. The legal case is that people who are funded
:04:54. > :04:58.by the local authority are the responsibility of the local
:04:58. > :05:03.authority and it is for the social services department to ensure that
:05:03. > :05:10.those people are moved into good alternative accommodation or better
:05:10. > :05:14.accommodation. The people who are funded by their own money, they
:05:14. > :05:17.have very few legal rights in this case. If they are fortunate enough
:05:17. > :05:24.to have family and friends to help them find another home, they are in
:05:24. > :05:27.a better position than most. Monitor is the new regulator for
:05:27. > :05:33.health and social care. Have they got the powers that are necessary
:05:33. > :05:36.to ensure the financial valid but - - viability of care homes? Not yet,
:05:36. > :05:43.but we are calling for them to take on that responsibility. We think it
:05:43. > :05:47.is shocking that a chain of care homes as large as Southern Cross
:05:47. > :05:54.can be allowed to fail in this way. It must not happen in the future.
:05:54. > :05:58.Thank you. The man who runs Liverpool Football Club has told
:05:58. > :05:59.the BBC he's as frustrated as fans and other locals over the future of
:05:59. > :06:02.Anfield. Ian Ayre was speaking after the
:06:02. > :06:04.club said refurbishing the stadium was increasingly unlikely. Building
:06:04. > :06:08.a new ground appears the only remaining option, even though it's
:06:08. > :06:11.more expensive. In a moment, I'll look at the long history of
:06:11. > :06:14.Liverpool's expansion plans and why the club needs a bigger stadium.
:06:14. > :06:24.First let's join our Merseyside Reporter, Andy Gill, who's at
:06:24. > :06:25.
:06:25. > :06:32.Anfield. Andy, why have Liverpool spoken out now? A couple of reasons,
:06:32. > :06:35.I think. Firstly, last week the council gave the club an extension
:06:35. > :06:40.on the part of Stanley Park they would need if they build a new
:06:40. > :06:44.stadium. The new American owners have been in place for nine months.
:06:44. > :06:48.I think they want to be seen as different from the old American
:06:48. > :06:51.honours. They want to try to keep the fans as up-to-date as possible
:06:51. > :06:56.about what is happening. The problem for fans and people who
:06:56. > :07:00.live round here is that the clubber saying that they have found it hard
:07:00. > :07:10.to move forward and there is still no firm date on when the
:07:10. > :07:16.
:07:16. > :07:19.redevelopment or, more likely, the new stadium is going to be built.
:07:19. > :07:21.Liverpool want to redevelop their old home but difficulties in
:07:21. > :07:24.getting ownership of houses it'd need to demolish and possible
:07:24. > :07:27.environmental concerns over the height of new stands mean that
:07:27. > :07:30.option's now unlikely. Back to Plan A - building a brand new stadium in
:07:30. > :07:32.neighbouring Stanley Park. The boss says he shares fans' and residents'
:07:32. > :07:36.frustration at the delay. frustration is only going to go
:07:36. > :07:39.away with the right solution. We could promise all kinds of things.
:07:39. > :07:42.The Football Club, unfortunately, did that in the past and then let
:07:42. > :07:48.people down. It would be foolish and wrong for anyone to promise
:07:48. > :07:51.something until we get absolute clarity on being able to deliver it.
:07:51. > :07:54.But building a new stadium costs a lot more than revamping your old
:07:54. > :07:57.one. And Liverpool are already talking to leading brands about
:07:57. > :08:06.naming rights. One fans' group say losing the Anfield name is OK so
:08:06. > :08:16.long as they get the right partner. We accept that the current economic
:08:16. > :08:17.
:08:17. > :08:20.climate and the cost of building new stadia means that we may not be
:08:21. > :08:24.able to fund future The club already puts millions of pounds
:08:24. > :08:26.into local projects, but now many in Anfield want a quick decision to
:08:26. > :08:29.regenerate the surrounding area which is visibly withering.
:08:30. > :08:37.club says it won't be forced into making a decision not in its long-
:08:37. > :08:47.term interests. If these guys do it, good. They're all going mad over it.
:08:47. > :09:00.
:09:00. > :09:05.It is sad, isn't it? The clock is still ticking and
:09:05. > :09:15.these latest developments suggested could be clicking -- taking for
:09:15. > :09:17.
:09:17. > :09:20.some time yet. -- Discussions over where Liverpool play their football
:09:20. > :09:23.have lasted almost a decade. Back in 2002, the idea of
:09:23. > :09:26.relocating just a few hundred yards over to Stanley Park was first
:09:26. > :09:29.floated. But these plans fell through four years later. In 2007,
:09:29. > :09:32.George Gillett and Tom Hicks took over. The Americans were quick to
:09:32. > :09:34.get a new �400million plan for Stanley Park approved. But then
:09:34. > :09:38.came the credit crunch and the money failed to materialise. In
:09:38. > :09:41.April 2010, they put the club up for sale. Last year new owner John
:09:41. > :09:44.Henry was given 6 months by the City Council to make a decision.
:09:44. > :09:47.And today the strongest hint yet that a new stadium away from
:09:47. > :09:50.Anfield is the future. And it's all about adding room for corporate
:09:50. > :09:52.hospitality, and here's why it is so important. They are important
:09:52. > :09:56.simply because they generate a maximum amount of revenue. For a
:09:56. > :10:04.round about 10% of the capacity, you are generating somewhere in the
:10:04. > :10:08.region of 50% of the revenue. They do that by utilising premium-end
:10:08. > :10:14.boxes to generate much more than they can from people like you and I
:10:14. > :10:19.sitting on our seats. So more room for big companies means more long-
:10:19. > :10:21.term revenue. Last year, 23 percent of Liverpool's income came from
:10:21. > :10:24.ticket revenue and corporate hospitality - �42.9 million.
:10:24. > :10:26.Compare this with rivals Manchester United and Old Trafford, which can
:10:26. > :10:29.hold around 30,000 more spectators than Anfield. Their match=day
:10:29. > :10:38.revenue last year was just over �100 million pounds, 35% of their
:10:38. > :10:46.total income. And, with Liverpool now trailing United's 19 league
:10:46. > :10:51.titles, every penny counts. A baby has drowned in the swimming
:10:51. > :10:54.pool of a private gym in Salford Quays. The 20-month-old little girl
:10:54. > :10:57.was with her parents at Esporta at the Lowry Outlet mall. The child
:10:57. > :11:01.was taken to hospital but died a short time later yesterday
:11:01. > :11:08.afternoon. There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances
:11:08. > :11:10.but police are investigating. On the Isle of Man, parts of
:11:10. > :11:14.Douglas town centre remain closed after a serious incident this
:11:14. > :11:17.morning. A 22-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted
:11:17. > :11:20.murder after a man was found with serious injuries on Athol Street.
:11:20. > :11:25.There is no access to buildings on Athol Street or Barrack Street,
:11:25. > :11:28.meaning many office workers were unable to get into work.
:11:28. > :11:31.Families are finally moving back into their homes two years after a
:11:31. > :11:34.200-tonne crane smashed into an apartment block in Liverpool. The
:11:34. > :11:37.incident in 2009 left crane driver Iain Gillham paralysed and dozens
:11:37. > :11:47.of people homeless. Last week, two construction companies appeared in
:11:47. > :11:49.
:11:49. > :11:51.court charged with health and safety failures.

:12:15. > :12:17.line in 2006. Luke's parents, from Stretford in Manchester, have spent
:12:18. > :12:27.the past five years gathering evidence about their son's death.

:12:34. > :12:37.paragliding in Turkey to scuba diving in the Pacific, Luke Molnar
:12:37. > :12:40.lived life to the full. It's an approach he summarised in a short
:12:40. > :12:43.piece of writing which his mother always keeps close by. "I doubt we
:12:43. > :12:47.will last forever. We were never meant to. That is why there is
:12:47. > :12:53.evolution. But I pray that I did the best I can with the time I have
:12:53. > :12:55.been given." This is one of the last photos of Luke, taken during a
:12:55. > :13:02.conservation trip to Fiji. A few weeks later, he was dead,

:13:12. > :13:15.at 17. Luke had been staying at a camp run by Coral Cay Expeditions
:13:15. > :13:18.on the Fijian island of Tokoriki. An inquest in the UK has already
:13:19. > :13:22.found he was unlawfully killed. Today the two men who wired up the
:13:22. > :13:28.camp - Kitione Rokosuka and Suren Chand - were in court in Fiji,
:13:28. > :13:32.facing manslaughter charges. have not seen any pictures of them,
:13:32. > :13:38.we have just heard about them. One was an electrician who was
:13:39. > :13:42.basically qualified. He was a qualified electrician. The other
:13:42. > :13:46.was his supervisor. All we know is that he has admitted to setting up
:13:46. > :13:49.the line. Luke's parents have spent the five years since his death
:13:49. > :13:53.trying to piece together what happened... Because they are in a

:14:11. > :14:14.Surgeons at Alder Hey Children's Hospital have carried out the
:14:14. > :14:17.second operation of its kind to save the life of a 13-year-old boy.
:14:17. > :14:19.When Lee McMillan - a school boxing champion - was taken to hospital
:14:19. > :14:22.with the brain infection encephalitis he didn't respond to
:14:22. > :14:26.treatment. Doctors feared he was going to die. They told his family
:14:26. > :14:32.the only way to save him was to operate, but that the procedure was
:14:32. > :14:36.very rare and risky. Our health correspondent, Laura Yates, reports.
:14:36. > :14:39.Looking at Lee now, it's hard to imagine how dangerously ill he was
:14:39. > :14:49.just weeks ago. Doctors feared he would die. At best, they said he
:14:49. > :14:52.was unlikely to walk or talk again. I could not believe it was
:14:52. > :14:59.happening from a boy who came home from school on Friday with a
:14:59. > :15:02.headache to a coma on the Wednesday to being faced with nearly dying.
:15:02. > :15:05.Doctors diagnosed Lee - a schools boxing champion - with encephalitis,
:15:05. > :15:10.a swelling of the brain. It's rare but usually treatable with
:15:10. > :15:18.aggressive antiviral drugs. This is the worst case I have ever seen.
:15:18. > :15:28.Despite all the right treatments, he was getting worse and we thought
:15:28. > :15:29.
:15:29. > :15:35.he was going to die.. So Dr Kneen asked her husband for help. He
:15:36. > :15:39.researches brain infections. They decided the only option was to
:15:39. > :15:42.operate. But the surgery, as far as they knew, had only been done once
:15:42. > :15:46.before. It was rare and extremely risky. To be put in that position
:15:46. > :15:51.and looking at him lying on that bed and deciding what to do with
:15:51. > :16:00.him was the hardest thing any parent could ever do. Lee, though,
:16:00. > :16:05.has amazed his doctors and his family with his recovery. I haven't
:16:05. > :16:13.had a headache in ages now. I used to get them all the time, painful
:16:13. > :16:22.ones on there. He should be able to go home at the end of the week,
:16:22. > :16:27.desperate to get back into the boxing ring as soon as he can.

:17:21. > :17:24.has been for a look round. 11 amazing rooms designed by Ian turn
:17:24. > :17:28.-- 11 internationally renowned artists. You get very diverse work
:17:28. > :17:33.from five continents. Each of them has created a set of instructions
:17:33. > :17:40.for performers so that when you, as a visitor, into the room, something
:17:40. > :17:44.happens - an exchange of an encounter. You can encounter are
:17:44. > :17:48.real war veterans stood in a corner, a lot of nudity, and a man reading
:17:48. > :17:53.in bed. Each piece asks you to do something, to look at something or
:17:53. > :18:01.to hear something or to move around the space quite quickly. I am now
:18:01. > :18:05.going to be part of the revolving door. Let's see what happens.
:18:05. > :18:09.by prior to the can and American artists. It is a revolving door
:18:09. > :18:14.made up of eight people. You either get out of the way or you get
:18:14. > :18:24.trapped in the corner. You become part of the art work. This is hard
:18:24. > :18:27.
:18:27. > :18:32.work. Another room, another performance, another performer,
:18:32. > :18:36.defying gravity. As you can see, there is just space underneath her.
:18:36. > :18:40.Your favourite run? We enjoyed the revolving door because it was fun
:18:40. > :18:48.and we got to run round being chased by people. You have to duck
:18:48. > :18:53.down to get to it. It is very claustrophobic. The guy is lying in
:18:53. > :18:57.bed and reading what appears to be a history book. It feels very

:19:21. > :19:29.names in this region but we might be about to get another one...
:19:29. > :19:32.Possibly the biggest ever. Well he's six foot seven so it's a
:19:32. > :19:35.good bet he'll be one of the biggest ever. Ron Artest is one of
:19:35. > :19:38.the most famous sportsmen across the pond even if a lot of people
:19:38. > :19:45.watching here have never heard of him. He plays basketball for the
:19:45. > :19:51.Los Angeles Lakers and he's possibly coming to play here.
:19:51. > :19:56.I have just looked him up on the Internet and he is a wraparound a
:19:56. > :20:03.comedian as well. Yes, he might soon be playing for Cheshire Jets-
:20:03. > :20:07.a bit like Wayne Rooney or Steven Gerrard playing for a village team.
:20:07. > :20:10.Exactly. The reason Artest might be able to make it to play in the
:20:10. > :20:13.British Basketball League is that owners and players in America are
:20:13. > :20:19.at loggerheads and they may not even start the season. So what
:20:19. > :20:24.hoops are the Jets going through to get their man? Here's Richard Askam.
:20:24. > :20:30.If you do not know much about Ron yet, you probably soon will. It is
:20:30. > :20:34.akin to David Beckham going to Los Angeles. He is very much a huge
:20:34. > :20:43.personality. A personality who is one of the top players and earners
:20:43. > :20:49.in the NBA. His last contract was worth $33 million. He is also a
:20:49. > :20:54.television star and singer. Often controversial, this was an infamous
:20:54. > :21:00.brawl early in his career, he is used to making headlines in the
:21:00. > :21:04.biggest arenas. So why consider the Cheshire Jets? It all started with
:21:04. > :21:10.that wheat. We picked up at wheat to say he was interested in coming
:21:10. > :21:15.to the UK. We engaged with him in the last week, he confirmed that he
